Today, these high-level officials were busy, and they needed to have a cordial conversation with the veterans who had returned from Baodao and their families, so Li Guangyu and Cao Weiqing were more idle in the afternoon, and the two of them went around the famous places in the city of Ludao and bought some local souvenirs.

On the morning of the next day, Li Guangyu and Cao Weiqing met with several high-ranking officials of the central authorities.

Vice Minister Zhang of the United Front Work Department said: "Mr. Li, on behalf of the Central Committee, I would like to express my gratitude to you for the fact that the two sides of the strait were able to achieve direct shipping so quickly. ”

The reason why this time can be so fast, Vice Minister Zhang is very clear, the president over there died suddenly, all forces move frequently, President Li wants to succeed to the throne, he needs to take some actions to gain the support of the people, and at the same time suppress the prestige of political opponents, which makes this direct flight so quickly approved.

Now public opinion on the island is rising again, demanding the opening of more air routes, opening up more cities, and increasing exchanges with the mainland, and demanding that the government of the island lift the restrictions on the return of the people on the islands to the mainland, and at the same time lift the restrictions on the investment of the business community in the mainland.

If it is said that without the handwriting of Li Guangyu and his allies, they do not believe it, and you must know that the strongest companies in the business community of Baodao are Li Guangyu's allies.

Once the Baodao side does not restrict the commercial investment of both sides, the Datong Group, Yulon Group, Uni-President Group, and Lukang Holding Group on the Baodao will be able to enter the mainland market on a large scale and promote their better development.

Li Guangyu said: "Vice Minister Zhang, you are too polite, the opening of cross-strait navigation is the common aspiration of both sides of the strait, and the deepening of cross-strait exchanges is also conducive to the better development of our two sides of the strait and the three regions, and I also believe that with the passage of time, the two sides of the strait will inevitably usher in peaceful reunification." ”

Subsequently, the deputy director of the Civil Aviation Administration and Li Guangyu negotiated the number of flights from Ludao to Taoyuan International Airport, and according to their agreement with Baodao, there is now only one route from Ludao to Taoyuan, and Xiangjiang Airlines has been designated to operate this route.

As for the specific number of flights, there is no clear limit in this regard, and it is mainly determined by Heung Kong Airlines and Ludao and Taoyuan airports.

They hope that Xiangjiang Airlines will be able to increase the number of flights on this route, as one flight a day is too little, which is not conducive to speeding up cross-strait exchanges and communication.

Li Guangyu said: "Deputy Director Liu, we are also willing to increase the number of flights on the side of Xiangjiang Airlines, and we will make every effort to ensure the fleet required for this route if the passenger flow can be guaranteed, but at present, we still need to carry out some public relations at Taoyuan Airport, and I believe that there will be multiple flights between Ludao and Taoyuan in the near future." ”

At present, the main customers of the flight are still the citizens of the island, there are very few on the mainland, the main thing is the economic conditions, and as long as the business community on the island still restricts the investment of the business community in the mainland, it is difficult to guarantee the passenger flow, and the current plan of Xiangjiang Airlines is to temporarily open two to three flights, and then arrange according to the passenger flow in the future.

As for Taoyuan International Airport, the Li consortium still has a lot of influence, and at present, the business of Xiangjiang Airlines accounts for 45% of the business of Taoyuan International Airport, and it is the largest resident airline of Taoyuan International Airport.

Coupled with the current public opinion within the island, there is no big problem in increasing the number of flights.

With the deepening of communication between the two sides in the future, this route will inevitably become a golden route and will bring rich returns to Heung Kong Airlines.

In addition, the two sides have communicated on the joint venture of Ludao Airlines, and the preliminary cooperation agreement between Heung Kong Air Transport Group and Ludao Airlines has now been reported to the Civil Aviation Administration, and Deputy Director Liu naturally understands it.

After their discussions, they agreed to a cooperation agreement on the side of the Ludao government, and after this joint venture, the Ludao government still controls 51% of the shares, and with the investment of 200 million US dollars from Heung Kong Air Transport Group, they can order more aircraft and expand the scale of Ludao Airlines.

……

This time, Li Guangyu focused on his discussions with Vice Minister Chen, which involved the issue of retired servicemen and their families.

"At present, many of my industries have established business offices in various provincial capitals, and I will arrange for them to give priority to veterans and military families, so that they can work with peace of mind," Li said. ”

At present, Lee's Hengyu Supermarket, South China Electrical Appliance Chain Store, and direct stores of major brands are expanding very rapidly, and they are present in almost all coastal cities and provincial capitals.

The gas station is also in full swing under construction, which can provide a lot of jobs, and at present, the pressure on the resettlement of retired military personnel is also relatively large, and there are also many problems in the resettlement of military dependents.

As of the end of last year, the number of employees of Lee's stockings in the mainland officially exceeded 200,000, and with the expansion trend of the Lee's consortium, it will exceed 300,000 in less than two years.

Vice Minister Chen believes that the families of military personnel are willing to go to work in Hengyu supermarket, Huanan electrical appliance chain stores, clothing and computer stores, after all, this is not only relatively clean, the work will not be too tiring, and the salary is high.

It's much better than placing them in the factory to work, not to mention the tiredness in the factory, the wages in it are not much, the piecework is a private enterprise, especially a foreign-funded enterprise, the salary of state-owned enterprises is basically fixed, and the performance bonus is not much.

The same is true for retired personnel, who are lucky enough to be able to arrange a slightly passable job after they go back, and under normal circumstances, they only go back to the factory as apprentices, and there is no good place for them at all.

It is better to have the opportunity to enter the Li family's industry, the work there may be harder, but the salary is high, and he knows that the Li industry has training, as long as the employees are willing to learn, there is room for promotion, and the Li consortium is expanding extremely rapidly, or it will not be long before as long as you can endure hardships and are willing to learn, you can have a good development prospect.

You must know that now Li's industry is only entering the provincial capitals, with the continuous advancement of reform and opening up, the future will cover the national market, so many cities below, there are many opportunities for promotion, it is better than letting these into some factories with a bleak future.

As far as he knows, the global employees of the Li Consortium have exceeded 800,000, which is an extremely large number, and the Li Consortium can support so many employees and make a profit every year, which is not something that ordinary people can do.

He said to Li Guangyu: "Thank you very much Mr. Li for taking care of our troops, you also know some of the situation in our mainland, I only hope that they can be more at ease in their work, so that they can worry less about their families."

I hope that Mr. Li can give priority to taking care of the families of those martyrs, and their lives will definitely be more difficult after losing their families, and I hope that Mr. Li can provide them with a relatively stable environment as much as he can, and I would like to express my heartfelt thanks to you on behalf of the Central Military Commission."

Don't think that he came to Li Guangyu suddenly, over the years, Li Guangyu's companies have done this in the recruitment of workers in the mainland, and many groups in the mainland are more inclined to recruit retired soldiers, military families, as well as the relatives of martyrs and police officers.

In the mainland, the military and public security departments welcome Lee's enterprises to invest in various places, and Lee's industry has reduced a lot of pressure on them.
