Standing at Lanfang International Airport, which has only one runway and one terminal, looking at the empty surroundings, Gu Kun suddenly felt a sense of heroism in his heart.
Although the airport is not very profitable and the facilities are relatively simple, Lanfang’s entire future base belongs to him. The airport can attract traffic to other industries. If he doesn’t do this, who else can he expect to do it?
This is a mentality that considers oneself the master of the country. Construction is also done for one's own homeland, and it cannot be completely calculated in terms of money.
Therefore, ordinary businessmen, no matter how much money they make, cannot appreciate this artistic conception.
Because there is no terminal building, only a terminal building, a battery car is needed to transport passengers to board/disembark the plane, and Gu Kun can only take the battery car with other passengers.
The airport bought a total of two battery cars, each with a rated capacity of 80 people. Added together, it can just ensure the transportation of passengers on a plane rated for 150 people. In the future, it will be more flexible if you board a plane with 240 or 300 people.
Increases and decreases, planners have obviously thought of these factors.
This kind of car is similar to the extended version of the bus with two cars connected in the 1990s. The only difference is that it is powered by a battery instead of two pigtails attached to the wires like the bus. (Everyone born in the 90s should have seen it.
That kind of old-fashioned bus tram with two cars connected together)
After just one minute of ferrying, the battery car stopped at the runway, and Gu Kun got off the bus first and boarded the plane.
Parked on the tarmac is an Airbus A320 passenger plane, which is currently the best model among the three routes sent by China Airlines.
At present, the three routes of Air China, China Eastern Airlines and China Southern Airlines are all planned with one flight per day. They also use 150-seat passenger aircraft.
China Eastern Airlines is a little richer and pays more attention to Lanzhou's business, so it pretentiously chose the A320, which was relatively expensive in China in 1997. Air China and China Southern just cheered and built much cheaper A320s.
Tu-154, but Tu-154 also has 150 seats, so there is no difference in scale.
Based on this calculation, the three major airlines combined are expected to send 3,000 air tourists to Lanzhou every week, which is more than 12,000 people per month.
This number will be slightly larger than the number of tourists who came to Lanzhou via the Kuching transit route before.
However, I believe that as the affluence of Chinese tourists increases, the improved convenience of direct flights will lead to an increase in tourists. The 3,000 people per week can be quickly digested. In the future, when flying becomes a habit, some of the guests who currently choose to travel by cruise ship can be included.
Attracted here. Airlines are also very confident in the development speed here, so they are willing to invest slightly ahead of schedule.
Gu Kun believes that within this year, this number can be increased to two flights per day for each of the three airlines, and the utilization rate of this runway will be significantly improved next year.
According to international civil aviation standards, a generally safe runway take-off and landing interval is 5 minutes per flight.
The busiest individual runways in the world, such as London Heathrow, can be compressed to the limit of two and a half minutes per flight, and can handle 600 takeoffs and landings around the clock. The quality of that kind of runway is also very good, and the maintenance time is short, so it can withstand it.
For something as cheap as Lanfang International Airport, a sweeper truck must be used to patrol the ground between landings.
Gu Kun does not compare with the limit, but with the normal high load ratio. Currently, there are only 3 take-offs and landings per day (three take-offs and landings are counted once). In the future, he will have to operate 100 flights and 200 take-offs and landings per day, and then
The airport needs to be expanded to include a second runway.
The wind on the apron is not very strong, but the sun is strong, so the ramps at Lanfang Airport are specially equipped with awnings and are also surrounded by artificial green plants that look like ivy, giving people a cool feeling.
Gu Kun was the first to step onto the gangway, carefully observing every environment and service.
The flight attendants on the plane were all sent by China. Although they looked good, they lacked some characteristics.
Gu Kun stared at the flight attendants carefully for a few seconds, wondering whether he should establish a relationship with the airline in the future and send some of the foreign girls selected by Lanfang to work as flight attendants, so that the Lanfang people could be hired.
Tourists feel superior to others.
There was a flight attendant who was responsible for the first-class cabin. She was already considered the most beautiful in the class. She felt a little uncomfortable under Gu Kun's scrutiny, and her legs felt weak. She thought Gu Kun wanted to seduce her.
Although Gu Kun is already a world-famous superstar, a top celebrity, and a wealthy man in Southeast Asia, if he really wants to talk about it, the stewardess will never refuse.
Gu Kun went to his seat and closed his eyes for five minutes to relax. All the guests had already boarded the plane.
In line with the mentality of inspecting the service quality, he stood up and looked around the airport behind him. The beautiful first-class stewardess immediately became nervous and quickly came over and asked: "Sheng Gu, if you have any needs, just tell me. You don't have to stand up in person."
"
Gu Kun waved his hand to signal her to stay out of trouble and observed her carefully for a few seconds.
There were less than fifty passengers on the entire plane.
He asked seriously: "There were almost 50 passengers on the shuttle bus I was on just now, right? No one was on the other bus?"
The pretty flight attendant quickly answered all the questions: "The other shuttle bus was completely useless - I mean, when we came in the morning, it was full of passengers, and we used two shuttle buses to drop off passengers, but we didn't use it on the return trip.
."
Gu Kun: "There are so few returning guests? Isn't your business saturated? Shouldn't you just leave as many as you come?"
Pretty stewardess: “It’s not that there are fewer customers, it’s that when the airport was not opened before, there were more people traveling on cruise ships, and those who originally bought round-trip tickets all came from Kuching. This is the first day of business here, and of course the return trip
Less - we have to wait until next week for the group of people who came today to return before we can enter the round-trip balance."
Gu Kun thought for a moment that he had overlooked the details.
The new airport has just been opened for commercial use. Of course, there are more people coming in and less people leaving. The first batch of guests who landed here didn't have enough fun. How could anyone be used to walking from here? There is inertia in the choice of transportation routes.
"I was negligent, so let's upgrade all my entourage to first class, and arrange for others to sit a little further forward to adjust their center of gravity. After the upgrade, I will settle with my secretary." Gu Kun said,
She tilted her mouth slightly in Midrova's direction, signaling the flight attendant to ask Midrova to pay the bill.
The beautiful flight attendant smiled so hard that her bones went numb: "Sheng Gu, you are really considerate. Our China Eastern Airlines already has discounts for upgrades after takeoff. I will..."
Gu Kun waved his hand without any doubt: "No need, this is my airport. It's a good start and it's auspicious. No discounts. Just think of it as a thank you to China Eastern Airlines for your support and sending me an A320."
He is the lucky one in the first flight chart. Who cares about those few dollars?
The beautiful stewardess became more and more awe-struck. After all, she was a world-famous, top-tier, rich and famous person.
The upgrading drama passed quickly, and the plane officially took off. Along the way, I was paid special attention to and asked about my welfare.
They got too close several times, but it was Midlova who took the food and drinks handed to her and served Gu Kun with her own hands, driving away the crazy bees and butterflies so as not to disturb the boss's rest.
…
Four hours later, the A320 landed steadily at Hongqiao Airport and departed through the aisle, leaving behind dozens of other passengers who had to queue up for immigration verification.
This is also an additional benefit of flying first class. In fact, many people who spend more money to fly first class do not just want the plane to be more spacious and have better enjoyment. They also want to have fast lanes when entering and exiting the airport.
, no need to line up with other hanging wires.
Time is so precious for people in the upper class. If you can go out to the airport more than half an hour later than normal people and go directly without queuing, it will be worth the fare.
A bodyguard and driver from the Blackwater Security Company was already waiting there in advance in his executive-spec Lincoln car.
After not returning to Hujiang for a year, Gu Kun's status seemed to be much higher when he returned. How could he not do strict security work?
Before and after the executive version of the Lincoln, Gu Kun also equipped himself with a leading vehicle and a rear guard vehicle, and drove in a low-key manner to the campus in Xuhui. This time, no one from the school greeted him because Gu Kun had warned him not to display banners.
Otherwise, I believe that a banner that reads "Warmly welcome Gu Kun to his alma mater" will definitely be overwhelmed by the crowds of people.
Gu Kun ran straight to the Haiyuan Complex with a clear purpose, handed in his graduation project materials, and prepared for a symbolic defense tomorrow.
The instructor also knew that he was just going through the motions, so of course he wouldn't make things difficult for him.
It’s just that there is a lot of material, and even going through the motions will take a lot of time.
Haiyuan selected several professors and more teaching assistants to help review it, and there were hundreds of copies.
That's right, hundreds of copies - because what Gu Kun brought back this time was not only his own graduation project, but also materials from other classmates in the shipbuilding and ocean engineering major who hung out with Gu Kun during their senior years.
Those students who took the aircraft carrier decoration and the construction of a certain sub-item of the island airport construction as the research object of their graduation project were able to graduate because of the work provided by Gu Kun.
After sitting for more than half an hour, the old professor leading the team asked a question:
"Student Gu, we took a quick look and found that your materials are very pragmatic and more than enough for graduation projects. However, there are still some students whose graduation projects are a little different from the topics they agreed on at the beginning.
Why are there more than a dozen students here, studying subdivisions such as 'reclamation and construction of airport runways'? As far as I know, the plan our Jiaotong University Design Institute originally designed for Lanfang International Airport was not at all
It needs to be reclaimed. Are these people hanging out in Lanfang? Classmate Gu, you must be dedicated to studying, we have no doubt, but please don't protect other students who are not motivated."
"Just fill in the sea a little bit. The area around the end of the airport runway is supposed to be cleared, so we can extend it a little into the sea to save land." Gu Kun explained confidently,
"I don't remember who persuaded me to change this plan later. In short, it was said that I would just use the extra earthwork, stone waste and construction waste from the previously flattened land to fill it up without increasing the construction cost. Since I don't want more
If you pay for it, the effect will be improved, so I agreed. If your people insist on using me to practice and do the miraculous craftsmanship of nature, I don't care, since I won't pay extra anyway."
"Okay, then we have no problem for the time being." The old professor was very polite and did not ask any more questions. He knew that the water here was a bit deep, and he didn't know how much water had been carried in that hot land of Nanyang in the past year.
Private goods, how many skills have you practiced?
There must be other places that don't follow the original design, so just turn a blind eye.
