As time has passed, the China Airlines incident has been resolved amicably, which has aroused strong repercussions around the world, and the voices within Baodao calling for the three links have become even louder.
On the morning after Li Guangyu returned, as soon as Li Guangyu arrived at the office, his assistant Ye Xinyi said to him: "Li Sheng, we just received a call from the China News Agency. Mr. Wang Jisen, the deputy director of Baodao, hopes to visit you here before three o'clock in the afternoon.
How do you respond?"
Gan Qin is on vacation these two days, and Ye Xinyi is currently in charge of the assistant office affairs. In the past year or so, apart from Gan Qin, there is also Zeng Huiqi. She has basically never had the opportunity to report to Li Guangyu alone.
Li Guangyu said: "You reply to the China News Agency, I will wait for the arrival of Vice Minister Wang at three o'clock in the afternoon."
After Ye Xinyi left, Li Guangyu looked at the documents reported by major groups these days, focusing on the reports of several major real estate groups in Japan.
…
At three o'clock in the afternoon, Li Guangyu had a more than two-hour meeting with Wang Jisen in the office.
After the two greeted each other politely, Wang Jisen said: "Mr. Li, the construction speed of Taipei MRT is far faster than expected. Line 1 will be officially put into operation on November 1 this year. Entrusted by the president and dean, I will
On behalf of the Ministry of Transport, I invite you to attend the opening ceremony. I hope Mr. Li can attend."
Xiangjiang Capital has always been an important foreign investment in Baodao, and the Li Group is the main force in it. Baodao has always hoped to strengthen ties with Li Guangyu.
The construction speed of the Taipei MRT exceeded their imagination. It was originally planned to be put into operation in mid-1987. Unexpectedly, not only was it not delayed, but it was advanced by more than half a year.
Wang Jisen knew that this was inseparable from the fact that the funds of the Li Group were in place, and with the multi-stage construction, the speed was much faster than expected.
Li Guangyu said: "The Taipei MRT is the first major basic transportation project jointly invested and constructed by us and the Taiwan government. Its opening can accelerate the development of Taipei. I am very willing to witness that Taipei will no longer be a city without subway transportation.
Please take me to express my gratitude to the president and Dean Li for the invitation. I will attend the opening ceremony of Taipei MRT Line 1 on time."
In recent years, the market for the industries under the Li Group in Baodao has become increasingly large. In terms of large-scale supermarket retail, Hengyu Supermarket is basically the main market. Tianyu Bank has also become the second largest bank in Baodao. In the Baodao automobile market
, the Bentley Group stands out.
Baodao buses basically purchase Hengtong buses, and in terms of trucks, they mainly use Jinniu trucks.
In terms of air transportation, Xiangjiang Airlines is also the main company on international routes. The faster the island's economy develops, the more profits the Lee Group will make.
After Wang Jisen heard that Li Guangyu was willing to attend this event, he felt relieved. He was really worried that Li Guangyu would refuse the invitation.
Over the past year or so, Li Guangyu has been attending such events less and less. For example, at the opening of the Taipei MRT this time, according to the general practice of the Lee Group, only the president of the Kowloon Group will be sent to attend. Since it involves station properties,
At most, the president of Starlight Real Estate Group is included.
At present, whether it is Zhao Xiaoyan, the president of Kowloon Group, or Zhao Qianyin, the president of Starlight Real Estate Group, their status in the Lee Consortium is not very high. If only these two people were present, it would obviously not be able to highlight the importance that the Lee Consortium attaches to Taipei MRT.
At present, the outside world does not know that Zhao Xiaoyan has resigned as the president of the Kowloon Group, and it is even less clear that the incoming president of the Kowloon Group is Du Yuemei. Otherwise, Baodao would not have to worry so much. Du Yuemei's status in the Li Group is only
Lower than Li Guangyu, even if Yuan Tianfan is the first executive officer of the Li Group, he is not much higher than Du Yuemei.
Wang Jisen said: "We in Baodao very much welcome Mr. Li as a guest. I will definitely forward your words to the president and Dean Li. At the same time, I hope Mr. Li can agree. The current scale of our China Airlines is obviously fundamentally dependent on Baodao's economy.
With the development speed, the government plans to expand China Airlines and hopes to reach cooperation with Xiangjiang Aviation College."
This China Airlines incident has made the Baodao government determined to rectify and expand China Airlines and increase the number of aircraft types and crew members to avoid this incident from happening again.
Li Guangyu has no objections to cooperation in this area. At present, Xiangjiang Aviation Academy is mainly the main talent training base for Xiangjiang Airlines, Cathay Pacific Airways, Thai Airways, and Malaysia Airlines. There is no problem in adding one to China Airlines.
Currently, the Aviation Flight School is negotiating with the Hong Kong government to establish an aircraft runway at the school for school training to avoid students having to go to Selangor Airport for practical training.
Kai Tak Airport has only one runway, and the density of takeoffs and landings every day is very high. There is no space for the Hong Kong Aviation Academy to practice.
Li Guangyu said: "Secretary Wang, China Airlines has always been a close partner of our Xiangjiang Airlines. Our Xiangjiang Aviation College is very willing to cooperate with China Airlines in talent training. There will not be any problems in this regard."
Wang Jisen's most important task today is not these. As the Lee Group has focused its development on the Japanese real estate industry, this year, the investment of the Lee Group has dropped sharply. Once Taipei MRT Line 1 is completed, the Lee Group will
The consortium has no new investment projects in Baodao. This is not what the Baodao government wants to see. They hope that the Li Group can continue to increase investment in Baodao.
In addition to inviting Li Guangyu to attend the opening ceremony of Taipei MRT Line 1 and the cooperation between China Airlines and Xiangjiang Aviation Academy, Wang Jisen has also prepared some projects, hoping to involve the Li Group.
The first one is the other lines of the Taipei MRT. After Line 1 is put into operation, the subsequent construction can begin.
The second is to build a second north-south expressway in the western part of Taibao Island to alleviate the current traffic pressure on the Zhongshan Expressway.
The investment in these two projects is very large. Once established, they will have a great role in promoting the economic development of Baodao. The Baodao government hopes that the Li Group and the Xiangjiang Group can participate in the investment.
After listening to Wang Jisen's introduction, Li Guangyu said to him: "As for the follow-up construction of Taipei MRT, I need to discuss with Xiangjiang China Investment Company, He Investment Company and New Asia Investment Company before I can give you an answer.
As for the Central Second Expressway, I hear what you mean. Considering the balance between regional development, the cost of land acquisition and the avoidance of congestion caused by short-distance commuter traffic near cities, the line selection deliberately avoids densely populated urban areas and passes through many originally underdeveloped rural areas.
, this will be very detrimental to our investors.”
The most important thing is that the investment on this expressway will be much greater than that of the Zhongshan Expressway. Since it travels through the western mountainous area, it requires a large number of viaducts and tunnels. At the same time, because it avoids the bustling areas, the traffic flow is relatively much lower. In this way
The expressway is more suitable for government investment, not for their company's investment.
Wang Jisen also knows that the investment value of this expressway is far less than that of the Zhongshan Expressway. It will only drive the development of remote areas in the future and avoid the problem of land expropriation. They can only plan this way, which can also reduce the impact of short-distance commuters on the Zhongshan Expressway.
pressure.
Wang Jisen said: "Mr. Li, the number of cars in Baodao is constantly rising. I believe this highway is of great investment value. I hope you can consider it more."
