In the afternoon of the same day, Li Guangyu, Cao Weiqing and the four children went to the He Cemetery together, and at the same time, He Zuozhi also came here accompanied by He Ji.

Even if ten years have passed, He Zuozhi is still sentimental, and the grief of the white-haired person sending the black-haired person is difficult for outsiders to understand.

On this afternoon, He Zuozhi said a lot in front of his daughter's tombstone, lamenting his daughter's early death and praising Li Guangyu's achievements.

He Zuozhi, who no longer cares about the family business, is now more emotional, and while recuperating in his old age, he often recalls the past, especially for his daughter who left early.

Now Li Songqian, as the only girl in the fourth generation of He Zuozhi's family, is also extremely loved by He Zuozhi, which may also be He Zuozhi's feelings for his daughter on this great-grandchild's girl.

Because Li Songqian is the only girl among several children, she is more favored than Li Songjie, the younger brother of the dragon and phoenix fetus, in all aspects, Li Songjie can only be her attendant honestly, if it weren't for Cao Weiqing to suppress her, it is estimated that the family can be turned upside down by her.

After November 30, the last day of the month, and the first day of the new week, Lee Guang Woo came to the office and waited for the arrival of guests.

This time it was still Airbus's Kendi Jesse, and it has been more than seven years since Lee Guangyu first met him in 81.

The man who was once just over fifty years old is about to reach the age of sixties, and now he is the second-in-command of Airbus, second only to the president of the company.

After taking a seat in the reception area, Kendi Jesse said with a smile: "Mr. Li, it is a great pleasure to meet you, and I would like to congratulate Heung Kong Air Transport Group on the official completion of its aircraft maintenance and support bases in São Paulo and London. ”

Li Guangyu understands very well that Kendi Jesse came in a hurry, hoping that he can purchase their company's aircraft, after the establishment of the maintenance and support base of these two airports, Heung Kong Airlines will be in short supply again, and a number of new aircraft are needed to come back to ensure the opening of the company's new routes and the normal operation of the original routes.

Especially in the ultra-long-distance route on the aircraft, Xiangjiang Airlines has always been in short supply, Airbus A330 in this nearly a year, the flight is normal, there have been no flight accidents, the safety performance is still very reliable, Li Guangyu to Xiangjiang Air Transport Group to transfer 5 billion US dollars, mainly to purchase A330.

With the rise in prices in various places, now airplanes are getting more and more expensive, a Boeing 747 used to cost only 40 million US dollars, now the same type has exceeded 50 million US dollars, and now a plane is about 53 million US dollars, and the price is rising every year.

As the main competitor to the Boeing 747 series of aircraft, the Airbus A330 is also not cheap, this is because Xiangjiang Airlines is their big customer, and at the same time, in order to seize the Boeing 747 market to give a lot of discounts, the current unit price of a plane also needs 48 million US dollars.

"Mr. Jesse, I am very pleased to be able to meet you again, and thank you for your interest and congratulations to Hong Kong Airlines, which has enabled Hong Kong Airlines to better serve citizens around the world with the completion of the two maintenance and support bases in São Paulo and London," said Lee. ”

Kendi Jesse knew that Li Guangyu had limited time to meet him, and he didn't go around in circles with Li Guangyu, so he cut straight to the point.

He said sadly: "Mr. Li, you should have heard the news of South African Airways Flight 256 the day before yesterday, the Boeing 747-200 that took off from Taoyuan International Airport crashed on the way to South Africa, killing more than 100 people on board, causing an extremely sad tragedy. ”

Of course, Li Guangyu knew the news, and he also specially asked Gan Qin to inform Zhao Wenhua, once again emphasizing the safety of the plane and the safety of the flight.

It's just that Kendi Jesse is showing back pain now has real feelings, and Lee Kwang-woo is quite skeptical about it.

This may be sad news for many countries and many families, but for Airbus, it is definitely very good news, this time it was a Boeing airliner, which is quite good news for them and Boeing in the market.

"I was very saddened to receive this silence, such a disaster is too terrible, before the take-off there were more than 170 lives, just say no, it is gone, even I am questioning whether I have established such an airline right or wrong, I am really afraid that one day such a thing will appear in the Heung Kong Air Transport Group. ”

Kendi Jesse was quite speechless in his heart, and he said that he hoped to use this to hit Boeing and get Li Guangyu to buy more Airbus planes.

As a result, Lee Guangyu showed more grief than him, which means that he is not ready to continue operating the airline.

He didn't believe that Li Guangyu would really have such an idea, Li Guangyu was not a good man and a woman, if Li Guangyu was so emotional, it would definitely be impossible to develop the Li consortium to the current point in a short period of time.

Kendi Jesse didn't continue to play the sad card with Li Guangyu, he said loudly: "Airlines can shorten everyone's travel time, although there will be individual accidents, but this does not affect the development of the air transport industry, after all, all kinds of travel traffic will have accidents, which is something that cannot be completely avoided."

Choosing a relatively safe aircraft can minimize the occurrence of such accidents, and our Airbus aircraft has no problem in terms of safety performance, which is very suitable for the development needs of Hong Kong Airlines. ”

Lee Guang Woo also mainly chooses to cooperate with Airbus now, so he did not go around in circles with Kendi Jessedo.

He said loudly: "We Xiangjiang Airlines have been choosing to cooperate with you Airbus over the years, and now the cost of purchasing aircraft is rising, whether you Airbus can make some concessions, at present, our Xiangjiang Airlines funds are really tight, so continue to expand, it is really a little unsupportable." ”

Kendi Jesse would not believe that the Lee consortium would run out of money, that several projects on the Kowloon Group's side were under construction at the same time, that the Chunghwa Electric Group and their French Thomson Company were about to reach a takeover agreement, and that Wheelock Line was transporting oil and liquefied natural gas in Eastern Europe by ship.

Several Wheelock Plaza in Japan have also started construction, and the construction of Hengyu Building on the Xiangjiang side has begun.

In Kendi Jesse's view, Li Guangyu obviously has too much money and no place to use it, otherwise with so many buildings, he would have to build a Hengyu Building with an investment of more than 5 billion Hong Kong dollars again.

"Mr. Li, we at Airbus have always given the most preferential price to Heung Kong Airlines, which is far lower than what we sell to other Asian airlines. ”

Li Guangyu is also more aware of the prices of other Asian airlines, but Li Guangyu believes that the price is definitely higher than that of several European airlines, especially the state-owned airlines of Britain, France, Germany, Italy and Spain.

He told Kendi Jesse: "This time, due to the opening of two new bases and the lack of ultra-long-haul passenger aircraft of our airline, we plan to purchase 100 Airbus A330s this time, so I hope your company can make some concessions in terms of price." ”

At present, Heung Kong Air Transport Group has 176 passenger planes and 30 cargo planes, and this time it will purchase 100 passenger planes again, and the total scale will exceed 300 aircraft.
