In his office, Li Guangyu listened to Gan Qin's report to the board of directors of Swire Pacific Limited, and he could understand that the Shi Huaiya family wanted to sell the shares of Cathay Pacific, and if he was in his position, he would also take advantage of the current market value of Cathay Pacific to make a move.

Once Hong Kong Airlines is operational, it will definitely have a violent impact on Cathay Pacific Airways, and if you want to sell it at that time, you are afraid that you will not be able to sell it at such a high price.

Li Guangyu asked Gan Qin to inform Li Xuemei to come to the office to discuss how to deal with this problem, and he also wanted to know some about what Li Xuemei and Connie Akalin discussed today.

After Li Xuemei arrived, Li Guangyu said, "Xuemei, how are you negotiating with Akalin?"

"Li Sheng, I hope Boeing will make greater concessions in terms of price, but Akarin said that he can't call the shots, and he still needs to contact the headquarters on this matter, so he has not been able to reach a specific agreement for the time being. However, in terms of aircraft deliveries, Boeing has promised to deliver at least two planes to us every month. Li Xuemei said.

It seems that Boeing has a lot of supplies, and it can deduct two planes every month and deliver them to Xiangjiang Airlines, I don't know how Boeing negotiates with other airlines that order.

Li Guangyu said: "In this regard, you have to reach an agreement with Boeing as soon as possible, Cathay Pacific is estimated to change, once there is a Chinese-funded group controlling Cathay Pacific, many of our advantages will not be able to get, especially in the mainland market in the future, we will face strong competitors." ”

Now that Xiangjiang has changed, with the Li Group's continuous suppression of the British-funded consortium, the threat of the British-funded consortium to the Chinese family has been very weak. When there is no external pressure, at this time, the major families in Xiangjiang have become internal struggles for their own interests, and it is estimated that it is impossible to maintain the unity of the British-funded consortium during the period when they dominated Xiangjiang.

In particular, some families have mastered Cathay Pacific Airways, and the threat to Xiangjiang Airlines will be very huge, at least in the mainland market, it will be more difficult for Xiangjiang Airlines to intervene.

Li Xuemei said: "Li Sheng, I will speed up negotiations with Boeing, and at the same time I will meet with Mr. Jesse, vice president of Airbus, so that I can also put some pressure on Boeing to make some concessions." ”

Li Guangyu knows that it is not enough to have planes, the most important thing is that there must be people, and these personnel poached by Cathay Pacific Airways are far from enough to support Heung Kong Airlines.

Li Guangyu said: "Gan Qin, you inform Ms. Du in the United Kingdom, Ms. Peng in the United States, Gan Sheng in Japan, and Gu Sheng in Baodao, and ask them to poach people for me locally, focusing on pilots and aircraft maintenance and support talents." ”

Gan Qin replied, "Li Sheng, I have written it down, and I will inform them of your instructions later." ”

Li Xuemei said to Li Guangyu: "Li Sheng, our airline can't just put on a name, and various departments should also be quickly formed, and at the same time arrange personnel to go to the cities where we have been approved to discuss the opening of our routes, which takes no less time." ”

"You don't have to worry too much about this, we don't have too many flights in the early stage, and if Boeing can deliver our two passenger planes next month, we will give priority to flights to Tokyo and Taipei," Li said. The two regions are still relatively easy to negotiate. ”

Li Xuemei also knows that there is no problem in these two areas, and now the two areas in which the Li Group focuses on investing have a very good relationship with the local government, and they will not embarrass the Li Group on this issue.

Li Xuemei said: "Li Sheng, I will communicate with Boeing, hoping that they can deliver more planes to us in the early stage, so as to enhance the strength of our airline." At the same time, our airline also tries to ask the government to approve more cities for us to fly to, so that the development of our airline will not be restricted. ”

Li Guangyu is not too worried about this, he did not approve himself before, that is because Cathay Pacific Airways is controlled by a British-funded consortium, but now it is different, once Swire Pacific shares will be divided, Cathay Pacific Airways will become a Chinese-funded group holding, and the Hong Kong government will not card the development of Hong Kong Airlines for the benefit of Cathay Pacific.

Li Guangyu said: "You try to talk to Boeing, I will find a way on the government's side, and as for the formation of various departments of the airline, I will start immediately." The general manager has been determined, that is, Zhao Wenhua, deputy general manager of Cathay Pacific Airways, and now Cathay Pacific Airways is basically managed by him, and there is no problem with his ability. ”

Gan Qin said: "Li Sheng, why haven't you thought about eating Cathay Pacific Airlines?"

This is also a question in Li Xuemei's heart, but Li Guangyu didn't say it, and she won't ask, she knows that Li Guangyu naturally has such a reason for doing this, and she firmly believes that Li Guangyu's decision must be right.

Li Guangyu originally wanted to eat the shares of Swire Pacific, otherwise he would not have told Ganqin like that.

It was only then that Li Guangyu thought of a problem that made him give up the plan. He knows that the other side will not let himself monopolize the aviation industry in Hong Kong in the future, even if he eats Cathay Pacific this time, he will give up part of the airline's equity in the future.

He might as well run his own Xiangjiang Airlines with peace of mind, and as for Cathay Pacific Airlines, he will be handed over to several major families in Xiangjiang and the other side, and he himself can also make a lot of profits from this share sale.

Li Guangyu said: "Cathay Pacific, for the time being, after our airline operates, the shares over there can be sold, we do not follow Cathay Pacific to engage in monopoly, our Li Group has never been afraid of competition." ”

Gan Qin and Li Xuemei didn't believe that Li Guangyu didn't want to monopolize the aviation market in Xiangjiang, and it was estimated that he had something in mind, so he said so. For their boss, they know too well, how can he be willing to give up such a large piece of interest.

Li Xuemei said: "Li Sheng, since Swire Pacific is going to sell Cathay Pacific Airways, can I buy their aviation aircraft maintenance company, and after buying them, it will be very beneficial to our Xiangjiang Airlines." ”

Li Guangyu said: "You don't need to worry about this, I have instructed Lei Jianbin to estimate the value of this company, after the sale of Cathay Pacific, this company is a chicken rib for Swire Pacific Co., Ltd., I think Shi Huaiya is willing to sell it." Ganqin, you can talk to Shi Huaiya then, as long as they are willing to sell this company to us, then we will no longer block them from selling their shares. ”

Gan Qin replied: "Okay Li Sheng, I will go to Swire Pacific Co., Ltd. tomorrow to discuss this matter with Shi Huaiya, and strive to take down this maintenance company to serve our airline." ”

After Li Xuemei and Gan Qin left, Li Guangyu considered how Xiangjiang Airlines should develop in the future, and Cao Guangbiao and others' shareholding in Cathay Pacific Airways can be said to have completely disrupted his plan, and it is impossible for Li Guangyu's airline to dominate the Hong Kong market.

Li Guangyu was even more dissatisfied with Shen Bi, when he went to him to buy shares of Cathay Pacific Airways, he refused without thinking about it, but now the speed is quite fast, and he sold the shares to Cao Guangbiao and others.
