There is currently no direct flight from Tianyang to the Imperial Capital, so you need to transfer to the provincial capital.
When boarding the plane, Oriole couldn't help but ask Zhou Qingfeng, "Mr. Zhou, do we need to bring so many people when we go to negotiate with Mao Zi?"
Tianyang Airport is very small. It was owned by the military a few years ago. It is currently unable to take off and land larger passenger planes, and can only fly British-made BAE-146 short-distance regional aircraft.
The cabin of BAE-146 is small and can carry more than 70 passengers, but it is relatively quiet and comfortable.
Lin Wan was on the other side of Zhou Qingfeng, looking back behind her, wondering why the CEO mobilized so many people?
With the secretariat, the legal department, and some technical staff, there were only about thirty people who accompanied Zhou Qingfeng to the imperial capital to discuss business. This was already the first time to discuss business with foreigners, so extra personnel were prepared.
But now there are more than 70 people in the negotiation team, which is calculated based on the number of people on board a BAE-146. Zhou Qingfeng also had no expression on his face. He himself didn't know why Mao would have so many people crowding in.
But to say that these people are useless is not necessarily true.
Zhou Qingfeng interviewed them one by one. They were all "retired" personnel from various scientific research institutes. They were men, women, old and young. Their abilities were not bad. They were not just trash who came to make a living.
Even Director Ma, a bureaucrat who doesn't seem to understand technology, talks about domestic manufacturing companies, industrial layout, and technical level very well.
Zhou Qingfeng had chatted with Director Ma several times, and was always stunned by the talk.
Forget it, just think of it as doing something good.
In line with the concept that talents are precious, ‘Holy Light’ spends as much money as possible to retain people, and the salary offered is quite high.
This is to avoid finding that no one is available when you need someone. After all, you can make money again, but if you go abroad, you will never come back.
Let’s not mention the issue of a large team.
Zhou Qingfeng got on the plane and looked out the window for a while. Suddenly he stopped a flight attendant and asked in a low voice: "Excuse me, can I ask a question?"
The flight attendant was very young and knew Zhou Qingfeng's identity when she boarded the plane. She squatted down and said with a smile: "Mr. Zhou, what can I do?"
"How much does it cost to open an airline?" Zhou Qingfeng asked seriously.
The flight attendant was so young, her mind was full of beautiful bubbles when she was stopped.
She thought that this old man wanted to praise her beauty and asked for his contact information. She was thinking a lot about how to respond politely. Is it better to be straightforward and direct, or tactful and reserved?
It turned out that what they asked about was opening an airline.
What goes on in the minds of rich people is really unusual.
Director Ma and others sat near Zhou Qingfeng and immediately pricked up their ears to listen.
The young and beautiful flight attendant used laughter to cover up her embarrassment and shook her head apologetically, saying that she didn't know. But Zhou Qingfeng asked again: "Where do your pilots come from?"
"We have a special aviation training school." The flight attendant thought for a while, "But most of the pilots are assigned internally, and a small number of them are retrained by the Air Force."
"How much is your monthly salary? Are there many people flying now? Which routes do they fly? How many airlines are there in the country? How much cargo volume is there? How is the freight calculated?"
Zhou Qingfeng asked a series of questions, almost confusing the beautiful flight attendant. It was not until the plane started to take off that the flight attendant was able to escape.
On the other hand, Lin Wan and Huang Li were very surprised. Lin Wan knew the old man's temper, so he probably didn't just ask casually.
Oriole was quick-tongued and asked directly: "Mr. Zhou, do you want to open an airline?" This was meant to be a lively joke, but she just thought that Zhou Qingfeng was chatting with the flight attendant because he was looking at the other person's beauty to make him laugh.
Zhou Qingfeng thought for a few seconds and shook his head, "It's just an idea. I didn't..."
Before the President could finish speaking, Director Ma, who was sitting next to him, couldn't hold himself back any longer. He leaned forward and said cheerfully, "Mr. Zhou, your idea is very necessary."
What......?
What do you think? I didn’t say anything!
Director Ma continued: "You can apply to the Civil Aviation Administration of China and the State Planning Commission to use private funds to run aviation, which is also serving the country."
Eh......?
I actually didn’t have this idea, but you suddenly told me this.
Zhou Qingfeng couldn't deny Director Ma's smiling face, so he could only say "hmm" twice to show that he was listening - I was just thinking casually, and you were so serious all of a sudden, which made me speechless.
But Director Ma doesn’t think so!
Who is Zhou Qingfeng? He is a patriotic businessman who brings cutting-edge technological products that are in short supply to the country. His ideas can be seriously considered.
The 1990s was really chaotic, no matter what field it was in. After the "reopening", all the people suffered the impact of the dimensionality reduction of Western material and spiritual civilization.
Some people desperately want to go abroad, while others desperately want to serve the country.
After Mou Zhongzhong became famous, in 1997 he made a whimsical suggestion to the central government to blow up the Himalayan Pass. He didn't care whether this thing was feasible or not, he just slapped his head and shouted.
The domestic media really joined in discussing the feasibility of this matter.
Zhou Qingfeng also wanted to be famous when he bought the passenger plane, and he wanted to create explosive news. As long as the news spreads, his goal will naturally be achieved.
This is just like a bunch of ghosts and ghosts on Weibo in later generations, creating topics just to attract traffic. If you have traffic, you can make money by being a big V with products.
However, "Shengguang" actually wants to resell the passenger plane it bought. Even if "Sichuan Airlines" doesn't want it, it can be transferred to other airlines.
As for "serving the country through aviation", this is too ambitious.
But when Director Ma opened his mouth, he suggested that Zhou Qingfeng open his own airline. This was not just a food stall, and he didn't need industrial and commercial taxes. He could just push a three-wheeler on the street.
It's like going to the Planning Commission and needing approval from the state.
Zhou Qingfeng said a casual word, but Director Ma seemed to have access to the two channels of Ren and Du. He didn't know where to draw a muscle, and he was trying to figure out a series of steps.
"Mr. Zhou, since you are an overseas giant, you can apply in the name of 'Shengguang Technology (hk) Co., Ltd.'. China is currently relatively tolerant of foreign investment."
An overseas tycoon who sacrificed his family to serve his country? Director Ma didn't mention it, and Zhou Qingfeng almost forgot about his nonsense character.
Xiao Jinlang once commented that the setting of "Overseas Giants" is simply a wonderful fantasy, but it is very easy to use and appropriately caters to the current spiritual needs of the Chinese people.
We are all suffering from the impact of Western civilization, and we urgently need the inspiration of legendary stories of selfless dedication of passionate people.
Unlike Mou Zhongzhi, a money-scamming wallet company, ‘Shengguang’ is really rich and has accumulated more and more foreign exchange in its HK account.
Not to mention domestic accounts.
Regarding the family background of ‘Holy Light’, the ministries and commissions know better than Zhou Qingfeng himself.
Although hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars to build an airline is really a drop in the bucket, it is still foreign exchange after all, which is a lot of money!
Besides, overseas idiots are full of enthusiasm and use real money to pursue development. From the perspective of political correctness, neither the Civil Aviation Administration of China nor the Planning Commission can throw cold water on them.
Therefore, Director Ma felt that Zhou Qingfeng's character was too bad, and it was very feasible for him to start an airline company.
"Mr. Zhou, please listen to me. I will give you a detailed analysis of the advantages and disadvantages of Holy Light operating an airline." In an instant, Director Ma seemed to be possessed by Zhuge and was about to shake a feather fan.
