Frequent news from Sham Shui Po has also lit a fire in the sluggish property market in Xiangjiang. The originally deserted land transactions have become lively because of Sham Shui Po, especially the land around the three universities and Wheelock Plaza.
This time, in addition to the Xin Jian Department’s investment in the construction of Heung Kong Medical University, Bao Yugang joined forces with Cao Wenjin, Wang Kuancheng, Hu Yinxiang and others to establish Heung Wah University in Sham Shui Po, and Li Zhaoji joined forces with Feng Jingxi, Guo Desheng, Hui Shixun and others to establish Sun Hung University.
Both are comprehensive universities, but Xianghua University is more liberal arts, while Sun Hung University is more science.
In terms of shopping mall investment, in addition to Wheelock Plaza invested by Xinjian Group, New World and Sun Hung Kai have also successively established shopping malls.
Because there are many corporate factories in Sham Shui Po, the development of Sham Shui Po has also allowed some companies to see opportunities, prompting a group of companies to transform from labor-intensive manufacturing to real estate. One of the representative ones is the Lai Sun Lam Family.
Apart from Wheelock Plaza, the real estate companies under the Xin Jian Department and even the Tung Wah Association have not gone to Sham Shui Po to join in the fun for the time being. Their strategy this year has not changed. The main focus in Xiangjiang is to acquire land and focus on developing Treasure Island.
Japan and Southeast Asia real estate market.
Especially in the Japanese real estate market, relying on the cooperation with the Fuji Foundation, the real estate companies under the Tung Wah Association are accelerating their deployment in the three major metropolitan areas of Tokyo, Osaka, and Nagoya.
The business development was going smoothly, but the situation was becoming more and more delicate. Li Jianhui didn't want to feel uncomfortable being caught in the middle. On March 1st, he brought with him temporary assistant Guan Jiahui, executive vice president of Xinjian Group and president of Xinjian Bank Peng Kezhi.
, Zhang Yijun, President of Xiangjiang Airlines Group, Tang Jianming, Vice President of E-commerce Group and President of Watsons, Du Yuhong, President of Phoenix Group, and others started a two-month inspection trip.
The first stop was Baodao, the Xinjian Department's largest market center besides Xiangjiang Market. Taoyuan International Airport became the first place for Li Jianhui and others to visit.
Xiangjiang Airlines' Taoyuan base has been put into use last year. Although I have heard many reports, this is the first time to see it in person.
As the general manager of Xiangjiang Airlines Baodao Company, Dai Minghui accompanied senior officials from the Xin Jian Department to visit Xiangjiang Airlines’ Taoyuan base, while making a detailed report to Li Jianhui.
"Li Sheng, our Taoyuan base currently has 40 parking spaces. In addition, our maintenance and support side can conduct inspection and maintenance for five aircraft at the same time. With subsequent development, we will continue to strengthen our capabilities in this area.
At the same time, we have also established our own aviation food production area and aviation fuel storage base, which can fully meet the supply needs of our flights."
"Taoyuan Airport is one of the core airports deployed by our group. More aircraft will be added to Taoyuan Airport in the future. You must make long-term plans.
Especially when it comes to our logistics and maintenance support, we must conscientiously perform our duties and never be careless. As long as the plane takes off, the lives of hundreds of people are affected. I don't want those tragedies to happen to our group."
"Please rest assured, Li Sheng. Since the establishment of our company, we have always put safety first and will emphasize it in weekly meetings to ensure that our aircraft can take off and land safely."
…
At noon, Li Jianhui and the senior management directly had a working meal with the company employees in the base canteen and had a brief exchange with some employees.
At 2:30 p.m., Li Jianhui, Guan Jiahui, and Zhang Yi all listened to a report from the top management of Xiangjiang Airlines Baodao Company on the company's development in the conference room.
After everyone reported, Li Jianhui said: "We mainly serve international flights at Taoyuan Airport. Although the government has liberalized our internal routes in Baodao, our company has no plans to develop regional aviation for the time being. Baodao
All internal routes will be given to China Airlines.
As for the issue you mentioned about the need for more long-range aircraft for long-distance routes, since the group still has to meet the needs of Hong Kong, Kuala Lumpur and Bangkok, there are no excess Boeing 747s to allocate to you.
This requires you to use existing resources to rationally plan routes and combine COSCO routes to ensure that the group's aircraft stationed in Taoyuan can operate reasonably as much as possible."
After hearing this, Dai Minghui also knew that it would be difficult for his company to add Boeing 747 aircraft in a short time. You must know that in addition to the bases mentioned by Li Jianhui, Xiangjiang Airlines has airport bases in London and Vancouver.
Construction is also accelerating, and by then these places will also need a large number of ultra-long-range passenger aircraft.
Fortunately, Xiangjiang Airlines is about to go public, and the funds raised at that time will be used for the purchase of aircraft, of which Boeing will definitely be used.
He does not ask for more, hoping that the group can add two Airbuses to their side by then, so that he can further improve the route from Taoyuan to Southeast Asia.
"Minghui, I understand that you also want to accelerate the development of the company. However, air transportation is not as good as others. An aircraft costs hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars, and the price of aircraft now changes every year. Our group currently has limited funds and can only serve the overall situation as much as possible.
.
I can tell you clearly that after this listing and financing, the main funds will be used for the purchase of Boeing 747s to improve the international route layout of our group.
Although we will increase the fleet size at Taoyuan base in the future, in the next one or two years, the group will not increase the number of aircraft stationed at Taoyuan base. After the completion of our group's strategic layout, we will gradually increase the number of aircraft stationed at several major bases.
Number of aircraft.”
The senior management of the group's Baodao Company was in a very depressed mood. They thought that after the group's listing, they would add a few more aircraft, but they did not expect that Li Jianhui had no such plan this time.
No new aircraft are added, which means that Baodao Company cannot add new routes in the past two years. Watching other subsidiaries continue to improve their strength, their own side is standing still, which makes Dai Minghui and other senior executives quite uncomfortable.
Not comfortable.
In my heart, I can only lament that my side is still not as good as Xiangjiang Airlines. When Xiangjiang Airlines was first established, Taoyuan had the most aircraft stationed here.
As the Group's Xiangjiang Kai Tak Airport base was put into use, it immediately surpassed their side. Although the Group now has multiple airport bases, every time the Group purchases an aircraft, Xiangjiang Company has a share.
Fortunately, Li Jianhui did not dampen the enthusiasm of these people, and later said that after the Xin Jian Department has sufficient financial resources, it will increase investment in Xiangjiang Airlines and gradually increase the group's presence at Taoyuan Airport to 50 aircraft.
Li Jianhui still attaches great importance to the layout of this area. After traveling through time, he naturally hopes to change some history, such as promoting the three cross-strait links. Once this area can fly directly to major cities in the mainland, he will even increase the number of aircraft stationed in Taoyuan to 100
