Chapter 985: An Awkward and Powerless Situation

"According to the work requirements, I received the senior management of the island airline this morning, and in the chat, the senior management of the island airline casually revealed a message, saying that their company has a six-year-old aircraft to be transferred, and a company called Dongfeng Airlines is already negotiating the acquisition, and Dongfeng Airlines is an airline from Xiangjiang. ”

"I asked him about it, and he was 100 percent sure that it was an airline from Hong Kong, and I asked him who the owner was, but he didn't pay attention. ”

"After I know the news, let other colleagues help me to accompany him temporarily, and I will hurry up to report this matter to you. ”

Logistics Minister Lavis hurriedly said, succinctly explaining the story before and after.

Wade Shi Yahuai's face was ugly, and instead of being annoyed that Lavis had come to report without confirming the accuracy of the news, he took a deep breath to calm down.

Lavis looked at Wade Shi Yahuai with some expectation and some apprehension.

But Wade Shi Yahuai's whole mind is now on the "Dongfeng Airlines" mentioned by Lavis.

He thought about it, immediately took out a phone book, flipped to the number of a friend's office in the Xiangjiang Company Registration Office, dialed it directly, and asked him to find a way to check whether Xiangjiang had registered a company called "Dongfeng Airlines".

After all, there are only a few companies involved in the aviation market, so it didn't take long for the Xiangjiang Company Registration Office to find out the news, in the near future, there is indeed a "Dongfeng Airlines" company registered, the company legal person is Bao Yugang, there are three shareholders, namely Bao Yugang, Huo Yingdong and Huanyu Holdings, with a registered capital of one billion Hong Kong dollars!

Huanyu Holdings is an offshore registered company in the Cayman Islands, which is wholly-owned by Jiuding Industrial Group and is one of the shell companies.

With this shell, because Huanyu Holdings is registered in the Cayman Islands, other people can't find other information except for their names, so it can also reduce the sense of existence of Jiuding Industrial Group.

Therefore, Wade Shi Yahuai has no idea whose company Huanyu Holdings is.

However, compared with the two information that the company's legal person is Bao Yugang and the registered capital is one billion Hong Kong dollars, the background of Huanyu Holdings is secondary, and he directly ignored it for the time being.

When he heard the news, Wade Shi Yahuai's feelings became very complicated, shocked that Swire Airlines was in big trouble, and at the same time, he was also angry at Bao Yugang's deception, and after the anger, he had a lingering heart and a lingering thought.

Fortunately, Lavis happened to receive the senior management of the island airline, and he was lucky to talk about Dongfeng Airlines, and Lavis came to report to him in time, so that he could investigate it as soon as possible.

Thinking of this, Wade Shi Yahuai praised Lavis: "Lavis, you did a good job this time, reported in a timely manner, and avoided huge losses for the company!"

Although Wade Shi Yahuai did not promise any reward, Lavis was still very excited, and the smile on his face could hardly be hidden.

He said modestly: "President, it is my duty to avoid losses for the company, and the main thing is that you usually teach well." ”

Wade Shi Yahuai was more satisfied with Lavis's modesty.

However, he was still preoccupied at this time, and he didn't have the heart to communicate with Lavisdo for the time being, so he encouraged him again and sent him away, and then called an emergency meeting of his subordinates to discuss and judge the topic of "the impact of the appearance of Dongfeng Airlines".

At noon, Wade Shi Yahuai took the results of the meeting with him and hurried to the family residence.

......

"Wade, what's going on?"

"Did there go wrong with the negotiation with Bao Yugang?"

Norman Shi Yahuai, who was reading the newspaper in the living room and waiting for lunch, saw his nephew Wade walking in in a hurry, his eyes were slightly condensed, and he asked with concern.

After Wade Shi Yahuai sat down, he took a few quick deep breaths to calm down and start from the beginning.

“...... That's the way it is, uncle. ”

"When I came, I convened a meeting with the think tank and came to the conclusion that Bao Yugang's purpose in acquiring the equity of Xiangjiang Airport Ground Service Company was not for Xiangjiang Air Cargo Terminal Company at all, but for Dongfeng Airlines, which he had just incorporated!"

The last sentence, Wade Shi Yahuai said in a firm tone, and it is clear that this is not only the opinion of the think tank's analysis, but also what he thinks.

Not only him, but even Norman Shi Yahuai thought that his analysis was correct after listening to Wade Shi Yahuai's narration.

As long as the aviation industry practitioners who are not stupid can know that airport ground handling companies can play the best role as long as they are paired with airlines.

Bao Yugang This is "Ming Xiu Plank Road, Dark Chen Cang"!

Seeing that Norman Shi Yahuai was silent, Wade Shi Yahuai hesitated for a moment, but still said out loud: "Uncle, I don't think we can transfer the equity of Xiangjiang Airport Ground Service Company to Bao Yugang, our gains and risks are completely unequal." ”

"There is a huge disparity between the value of the Heung Kong Airport Ground Handling Company and the Heung Kong Air Cargo Terminal Company, and we can't exchange much equity in the Heung Kong Air Cargo Terminal Company. ”

"And with a large amount of equity in Xiangjiang Airport Ground Handling Company, Bao Yugang can definitely influence the company's operation, and when Dongfeng Airlines is officially operational, it will do the same as us in airport ground handling services, and the results we have built over the years have been directly stolen by him to compete with our Cathay Pacific Airways!"

After frowning and thinking for a long time, Norman Shi Yahuai looked at Wade Shi Yahuai and asked a question: "The registered capital of Dongfeng Airlines has reached one billion Hong Kong dollars, and Bao Yugang and others have secretly established it, and they don't make a big deal about it at all, which shows the determination and attitude of Bao Yugang and others, do you think he will give up entering this market because he can't acquire enough shares of Xiangjiang Airport Ground Handling Company?"

Wade Shi Yahuai's face stiffened, and after thinking about it, he showed unwillingness, shook his head and said: "No, if I were him, I wouldn't be able to acquire enough equity, then I would set up an airport ground handling company by myself." ”

Norman Shi Yahuai sighed slightly, and added: "Yes, and he owns the Xiangjiang Air Cargo Terminal Company, which already has a strong foundation, compared with others, he has a huge advantage, and his company alone is enough to support his ground service company to build and hone it." ”

Wade Shi Yahuai was silent.

Norman Shi Yahuai thought for a while and said again: "Wade, think about it carefully, is there really no room for development in Dongfeng Airlines?"

Wade Shi Yahuai's face became even more ugly, but he had to admit the facts: "Uncle, Cathay Pacific only has 21 planes, and two of them are cargo planes, and there are only 19 passenger planes, the number is limited, and it only opens up routes to major cities and capitals of neighboring countries, and there are many big cities in many countries that have not opened up routes, and there is a big business gap." ”

"Although Dongfeng Airlines has not obtained an air transport license for the time being, I am worried that with the current prestige of the Chinese, the Hong Kong government is likely to approve another one. “

"The Hong Kong government's policy of 'one route can only be operated by one airline' is not restrictive, we only have the franchise rights of the routes we have opened. ”

"Under the premise that we do not have the strength to get involved in the business, if Bao Yugang's Dongfeng Airlines opens up new routes, even if we do our best to prevent it, there is no reason for the Air Transport Licensing Authority to reject Dongfeng Airlines' application. ”

"Unless...... We took all of these routes in advance ......"

In the end, Wade Shi Yahuai's voice became a little quieter, obviously he didn't feel confident to say this himself.

How much to eat with a big belly.

He also knows that Cathay Pacific currently has only 19 passenger planes, and there are dozens of countries in Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and East Asia alone, and Cathay Pacific has to fly farther to London, San Francisco, Australia, and other places.

So now, in fact, Cathay Pacific has not yet connected to many Asian countries.

There is only one solution, and that is to purchase aircraft in large quantities and open up new routes.

But now a Boeing 747 costs US$35 million, which is equivalent to more than HK$160 million.

Even if you don't buy a Boeing 747 and buy a smaller and worse plane, it will cost hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars.

With Cathay Pacific's current strength, it is simply unrealistic.

Even if there is the support of the Swire Consortium, it will be possible to buy a maximum of five and burn high incense.

However, more than five aircraft, just five more routes, still cannot fill the gaps in all routes.

And now Dongfeng Airlines is already directly buying old aircraft in order to speed up efficiency, and Cathay Pacific is too late to act even if it wants to.

After all, although there are many old aircraft in the world, the transformation takes a short time and is risky, which is not cost-effective.

It is too slow to build new aircraft, like when the aviation market was hot in the previous seven or eight years, Boeing's manufacturing orders were auctioned six or seven years later, even if it is not busy now, it will take months to build an aircraft.

If Dongfeng Airlines has already placed an order, Cathay Pacific can only line up honestly behind Dongfeng Airlines if it places another order.

Maybe when all the planes are built, Dongfeng Airlines will already have a firm foothold.

And other supporting industrial chains in the aviation market cannot stop Dongfeng Airlines.

For example, aircraft inspection and engine maintenance, although there is only one Xiangjiang Aircraft Engineering Company in Xiangjiang, there are many companies in the island country, and Dongfeng Airlines can take turns to change planes and fly to the island country for maintenance.

Needless to say, the aviation escort business, the famous Aegis security in Xiangjiang is Xia Yu's, and Bao Yugang can come to the door.

Airline catering service is also easy to solve by finding a five-star hotel to cooperate.

......

All in all.

It is undoubtedly an extremely awkward and tricky situation for Wade and Norman Schiaw.

Knowing that Dongfeng Airlines was a threat, but there was no way to stop it, he could only watch Dongfeng Airlines compete for the market......

It's uncomfortable!

PS: I returned safely last night, without injury or sacrifice, and survived another catastrophe. After I came back, I took another shift and took a shower, and I didn't want to write because I was physically and mentally exhausted, so I wrote until 3:14 to finish a chapter, and I had to get up and go to work at 7 o'clock in the morning, and I could sleep for four hours, and go to sleep~

Ask for a ticket
