On the morning of the 5th, Li Guangyu specially listened to Du Yuemei's investment inspection of Pengcheng Airport in the office.

Since the first negotiation at the end of November last year, more than a month has passed since then, and Du Yuemei has also arranged personnel to carefully investigate the market in Pengcheng and communicate with the Pengcheng government many times.

The Pengcheng government is still very determined, they will design the Pengcheng airport to 4E, build a 4D-level airport in the early stage, and expand the airport when needed in the future, and the Pengcheng government hopes to build Pengcheng Airport into an important hub airport for foreign exchanges in the mainland.

The airport to build a 3,200-meter runway, so that it can take off and land any kind of civil airliner in the world, the initial establishment of 8 aprons, a 30,000-square-meter terminal, later expansion as needed, the total investment is expected to be 1.5 billion yuan.

Du Yuemei said: "Li Sheng, according to the development speed of Pengcheng this year, the establishment of such an airport, as long as it maintains normal operation, it is unlikely to lose money, I personally recommend investing in this, and I hope that the senior management of Xiangjiang Air Transport Group can go to the capital to meet with the senior management of the mainland, so that we can enter the mainland routes, Pengcheng Airport as our base airport in the mainland." ”

As the first executive officer of the Li Foundation, Du Yuemei naturally does not only focus on the Kowloon Group, she is also thinking about the development of other groups.

The Pengcheng airport investment is a good opportunity for them, the current reform of the mainland is more and more liberalized, many industries in Xiangjiang can enter the mainland, now airlines into the real opportunity, if you miss such an opportunity now, and the future development of the mainland economy, they want to enter it is more difficult.

Now they are investing in the mainland not afraid of losing money, first of all, they should be able to enter the mainland's industries, and only by opening this door can they obtain a steady stream of profits as the mainland's economy continues to develop.

For example, the current petrochemical group, according to some terms, they are currently losing money in building gas stations in many towns and villages, but for the sake of the inland market and in order to enter more provinces and cities, the petrochemical group is still building gas stations in many towns and villages without hesitation.

At present, the same is true for opening up inland routes, and at present, the mainland economy, they open routes between the mainland, as long as they are not particularly popular routes, there is basically only one way to lose.

You must know that the current control in the mainland is still relatively strict, and the people's income is not too rich, and the people who generally take the plane are government officials.

The most important point is that even if Xiangjiang Airlines is not afraid of losses, it is not easy to enter the mainland market, which involves many sensitive issues, Li Guangyu's major base airports can open international routes to some cities in the mainland, but if you want to open routes between the mainland, it is a big problem.

The opening of international routes is through the exchange of the two sides, than the Xiangjiang to Shanghai route, he can open the Xiangjiang Airlines, the mainland airlines can also open this route, the number of flights is also negotiated by the Xiangjiang Transport Bureau and the relevant departments of the mainland, the opening of these routes The power of the two sides is equal.

Li Guangyu said: "Pengcheng Airport investment we can invest, the specific agreement you and the Pengcheng government to negotiate in detail, as for Xiangjiang Airlines into the mainland, I will instruct Zhao Wenhua to communicate with the mainland in the next few days, into Beijing for some communication, but you still don't have too much expectations, this not only involves the issue of routes, but also the problem of air traffic control in various places, it is not so easy to let us in." ”

Not to mention the mainland, at present, the seven base airports of Xiangjiang Airlines, such as Xiangjiang, Taoyuan, Kuala Lumpur, Bangkok, Vancouver, São Paulo, and London, are basically international routes, so as to avoid too much competition with airlines within various countries or regions.

As for the competition of international routes, there is no way, in this regard, Xiangjiang Airlines does not compete with them, and other airlines will also compete with them.

Of course, Du Yuemei is aware of the complexity of this, but she feels that she should give it a try, and if it succeeds, it will be very beneficial to the future development of Heung Kong Airlines.

You must know that the mainland has a market of more than one billion people, and the demand for air transport will definitely increase greatly in the future.

Du Yuemei said: "Li Sheng, I will discuss with the Pengcheng Municipal Government about the investment of Pengcheng Airport, I believe this will be a good investment, and it will bring us relatively rich benefits in the future."

As for Heung Kong Airlines, if it really doesn't work, we can set up a joint venture with the Pengcheng government in the future to set up an airline in the mainland, and then according to the situation, through various forms, let us become the biggest beneficiary. ”

Li Guangyu does not have such a plan for the time being, since Du Yuemei has such an idea, Li Guangyu has not stopped it, it is best to succeed, even if he can't succeed, his side will not have much loss.

Compared with airlines entering the mainland, Li Guangyu is still more concerned about the layout of several major retail groups, as well as petrochemical, Phoenix Group, Jiayi Group and other companies in the mainland.

Li Guangyu said: "I will inject another 5 billion US dollars into your group this time, a total of the development of your group in the past two years, your group itself must also have hematopoietic ability, especially the operation of the Taipei MRT, you have to think more about how to reduce operating costs, we need to generate revenue, Kowloon Group is not a charity, you should pay special attention to some management." ”

Du Yuemei can only listen to this, the reason why Taipei MRT is in such a situation is not because the Baodao government has given the benefits where it was established, but the profits have gone to the Starlight Real Estate Group, and now they Kowloon Group can only earn some hard money, and it is far away to recover the cost, Du Yuemei also thought of helplessness.

At the beginning, she suggested to Li Guangyu that the Kowloon Group enter the real estate industry, so that when they invest in some projects, the Kowloon Group can recover the investment cost from the surrounding areas, but unfortunately Li Guangyu does not agree, and she has nothing to do.

For example, if the Kowloon Group can enter the real estate industry, the property development on the major subway stations will be enough for them to recover most of the costs, and if the surrounding development area is large enough, they can even make a lot of money.

After all, the transportation of the property on the station is extremely convenient, and the flow of people is relatively good, and the development of real estate in these places is more popular with consumers, and there is no fear of losing money in this aspect of investment.

It's a pity that although the idea is good, Li Guangyu just doesn't agree here, and the Kowloon Group is restricted from engaging in infrastructure investment, mainly in subways, expressways, ports, airports, and railways, and other industries Kowloon Group should not think about it.

A few days ago, their Kowloon Bus Company became independent, which is to make their Kowloon Group more pure.

This time, the properties on the station of Taipei MRT Line 2 and Line 3 were still taken away by Starlight Real Estate Group, and Kowloon Group did not know how many years it would take for Taipei MRT to recover its costs.

Fortunately, their Kowloon Group did not rely on their own recouped cost investment, otherwise their Kowloon Group would not have any development prospects at all.
