Chapter 293: Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes
On August 12, 2001, the opening of the Burj Al Arab Hotel, which lasted for several days, ended two days ago.
Strictly speaking, the consumption of the three days of remuneration cannot be called "free/discounted/concession", that kind of word is too coercive and too damaging to the status of the nobility.
Whether it is in publicity or actual accounts, the consumption of the opening three days is regarded as a treat of "Gu Gongzi pays for tonight".
It's a shame to be discounted, and it's not a shame for Gu Gongzi to pay the bill.
After all, the Burj Al Arab Hotel is not a sole shareholder of Gu Kun, from a financial point of view, the Burj Al Arab Hotel has four major factions of shareholders, Gu Kun accounts for 40%, the Lan royal family accounts for 51%, and the nine points are COSCO financial investment of 5%, and then Lan foreign trade tycoon Sa Wuyang (Zhu Youran's uncle) invested 2%. In the end, Lin Ying's family also invested 2%.
There are no dry stocks in this, and everyone is paying for it in a solid manner. The whole project spent $1.2 billion in investment, and the registered capital was directly declared, and each percentage point of share capital was $12 million.
Most shareholders have no pressure to pay this money, but Sa Wuyang and Lin Ying feel difficult to varying degrees.
Lin Ying's family sold most of the previous business, and almost spent 24 million US dollars to buy 2% of the senior management shares, which shows that this girl also has a bit of self-esteem.
Since the shares of the hotel are shared, Gu Kun's capital contribution only accounts for forty percent, so his hospitality is eligible to be counted as a real treat, not a false one.
He really paid 12 million yuan a day for the room, and a total of 36 million for three days, plus the wine banquet and catering, as well as the charter tour of the surrounding attractions, Gu Kun spent a total of 50 million yuan to eat, live and play the guests.
On the 12th, most of the guests were ready to leave. Only those who are not too busy and want to take advantage of the fact that the second master pays for a few more days out of their own pockets, and by the way, a handful of top guests who want to experience the royal suite and the presidential suite continue to stay in Lanfang.
For example, Sheikh Mahathir Mohamad.
After all, no matter how good the treatment was when the guests were treated, there was no royal suite to live in, and at that time, Gu Kun and Zhu Youran personally occupied the anger and experienced a blood. No matter how noble the status of other people, if they want to live in the royal suite, they will have to pay obediently.
And those who are busy spending 180,000 days in the presidential suite after the entertainment is over, are mostly executives from lavish entertainment lace media similar to "Playboy". On the one hand, these people also enjoy eye-opening, and on the other hand, they can make money by posting some pictures and texts of "insider experience revealed" in a timely manner, and they themselves make a living by reporting on the lifestyle of local tyrants, and they are more willing to spend money than ordinary people.
……
However, Mr. Iprasim of the Diba tribe is clearly not in either category.
Especially Mr. Mahathir from the Abu Dhabi tribe next door who came with him, the subtle change in attitude in the past few days has made Ibrahim very unhappy, but the other party is his investor, and he can't have a seizure, so he can only hold it in his heart, almost holding back internal injuries. So much so that Lan Fang's grass and trees felt disgusted in his eyes, and he didn't want to play more than a day no matter how good the scenery was.
On the morning of the 12th, Iprasin took the Rolls-Royce by air and went straight to Lanfang International Airport, ready to return home.
In his identity, of course, there are special cars and special planes, but the special plane he usually takes is the Gulfstream G550, the kind of model with less than 20 seats, and he can't transport the car randomly together-
The Diba tribe does still have some money, but the reproductive ability of the high-level tribes in the Middle East is generally strong, and often the children are several dozen in their lives, and after there are more chiefs, it is impossible for everyone to be equipped with a special plane, and it is already the limit to give a Gulfstream G550 of twenty or thirty million dollars.
Especially in many cases, because the eldest son can inherit the title and the main part of the family business, it is easy to fall into the "curse of resources" like the older generation, that is, because the oil money is too easy, so he knows that he does not do his business properly, and has no achievements and ambitions in business development and innovation.
On the contrary, it is easy to produce one or two young sons who are ambitious and have a sense of crisis, and they are radical and dare to fight in business. And this chief of Iprahim is obviously also of this kind, and the position of the future tribal chieftain will definitely be passed on to his chieftain.
So his driver usually drives the G550, and this time he came to Lanzhou to participate in the ceremony, because before he came, he regarded Gu Kun as a fierce rival for the business card of "competing for the world's most tycoon city", so he needed to decorate the pomp and circumstance as much as possible, so that he could let his father lend him his father's own Boeing 747 special plane to support the façade, and by the way, he randomly transported the limited edition customized Rolls Royce car.
Ibrahim had arrived in Lanfang much earlier than Mahathir and the other invited guests, arriving at the end of July, more than a week before the others. Because he needs to take a good look at many of Lan Fang's construction measures and learn from them.
At this time, I came to Lanfang Airport again after half a month, and the prosperity of the airport made Ibrahim feel a little chill down his spine.
"What? Didn't we land here just two weeks ago? Why does this airport seem so prosperous and crowded in such a short time? It seems that even the decoration has become magnificent, I haven't heard that there is a special closure here. ”
"Why don't you give me a route? You're embarrassed to make us wait four hours before we can take off? Bastard! Wouldn't they be able to free up a hangar or tarmac sooner if we took off early?"
Several messages in a row made Ibrasin a little impetuous, and he couldn't help but complain about the service quality of the airport.
It turned out that there were many more planes at the airport than half a month ago, and I heard that in this half month, more than ten additional international routes were opened.
In addition, although the second runway next to it has never been completed, the apron facilities attached to the second runway have recently been temporarily opened. After landing from Runway 1, if the aircraft has to stay for a long time, or wait for refueling, it can be moved to the supporting apron of Runway 2 first.
After all, for the airport runway, whether it can be used for take-off and landing aircraft, and whether it can be used for aircraft ground driving and moving position, the technical index requirements can be many times different.
The No. 1 runway of Lanfang International Airport was started in '95 and was put into commercial use before July '97. At that time, the saturation rate of Runway No. 1 was only more than 20%, and later developed to 98 and 99 years, after the tourism market of China, Japan and South Korea was further deepened, the utilization rate was only three or four percent.
However, with Gu Kun's crazy endorsement and crazy involvement in the luxury industry before and after the Olympics last year, as well as the recent entry of China into the WTO and the completion of the Lanfang Burj Al Arab, the tourism routes of Lanfang have almost doubled in the past two years, and the saturation rate of Runway No. 1 in Ibrasine was close to 70%, and now it seems that it is easily over 80%.
It is no wonder that since 2000, Lanfang people have fully started the construction of the second runway of the airport to ensure trial operation in 03 and full commercial use in 04. And now, the semi-finished products that have only been repaired for more than a year can also be used as an apron first, and other terminals and supporting facilities can also be used for passengers to wait for temporary rest, which is nothing more than a waste of deploying some battery cars for ferry.
As for whether the No. 1 runway of Lanfang International Airport will be saturated during next year's window, there is no need for foreigners to worry - the internationally accepted air traffic control algorithm regards a runway as "fully loaded" with 200~220 daily takeoffs and landings. However, there are actually some particularly busy airport runways that can be overloaded.
For example, the runway of Heathrow Airport is overloaded at an average of 280 flights per day all year round, and occasionally the busiest limit can soar to 300 flights. Lanfang International Airport is now the so-called "full load of eighty percent", which is about 170 flights per day, and will rise again next year and the year after tomorrow, rising to more than 200 per day, or even 240/260, which can also be safely overloaded. A new runway was built.
Looking at the prosperity of all this, especially the prosperity of the additional increase in just half a month, Ibrasin's heart was very unhappy, like 10,000 heads rushing by.
He has been working on the concept of luxury tourism in Diba for three or four years, and if he has this idea in his heart but does not have the resources to start implementing it, it will be even longer.
When he bragged to his own people in private, he often boasted, "Lucia has just disintegrated for two years, and I estimate that the future world will be dominated by Oceania, so there will be no more world wars, and we should develop a high-end hedonistic business that is drunk and dreamy."
It's just that no one believes this kind of boasting, and no one cares, in the eyes of outsiders, it is Gu Kun's idea first, and it is indeed Gu Kun's first concept to build a new local tyrant city in the world. No matter from which objective point of view, Ipraxin's vision ranges from one to three years.
……
"There are 170 flights a day, and the occupancy rate is still so high, it seems that it is generally more than eighty percent, and there are many full loads. The mainstream of the A320 level, with 150 seats per aircraft and an average attendance rate of ninety percent, is counted as 130 people. There are also some 747-level ocean flights, one can reach more than twice the capacity of the A320, that is, 300 people. Large passenger planes account for 20 percent, and 25,000 to 30,000 people enter and leave the airport every day.
There are also nearly 15,000 new tourists a day, and if you calculate the current level of prosperity for the whole year, there will be five or six million air arrivals a year, not counting cruises. Why? We, the Diba, have been spending money on propaganda for three or four years, so how can we still be far from being able to compete with the Lanfang people? Just because we were temporarily created in the desert?"
Ipraxin sat in his special plane, waiting for the route to become more and more irritable, listening to some news from his subordinates, and wanting to fight with Gu Kun more and more.
But the female secretary next to her still didn't open which pot to mention, and when Iprahim was irritable, she asked casually: "Do you know when Mr. Mahathir will leave?"
The female secretary told the truth: "Mr. Mahathir Mohamad may have to play for an extra week, and he also advised us to investigate and investigate clearly, and after making up our minds, we should not be arrogant, listening to his meaning, it seems that we have burned money too inefficiently in the past two years." ”
Iprasin's eyebrows furrowed at the hearing.
Although everyone is in the business of burning money, they are not afraid of burning money, but burning money also has an efficiency, and when the same amount of money is burned, there are more or fewer chips in exchange.
Mahathir that guy, can't he have the idea of not being righteous and want not to put his eggs in one basket? Isn't that a traitor?
"After you go back, you give me a good eye on the black materials on Gu Kun's side, and I must dig out every flaw in Gu Kun's false prosperity and momentum!
"Understood, boss. ”
