Kendi Jesse did not receive an affirmative answer from Lee Guangyu, so he could only leave in disappointment.

When they left Li Guangyu's office, they saw that in the waiting room next to him, there was Connie Acarin, vice president of Boeing, their sworn enemy of Airbus.

If it weren't for the help of the British government, let Heung Kong Airlines increase its routes into the mainland, I am afraid that my orders for these 30 planes would be gone.

Unexpectedly, this time this one came again, Kendi Jesse glanced at Connie Akalin a few times, and then walked towards the elevator, he was not in the mood to greet this one at this time.

Connie Akarin, who was waiting inside, also saw Kendi Jesse, but he could see from the other party's expression that the other party's meeting with Lee Guangyu was not satisfactory this time, which made him very happy.

The current economic weakness in Western Europe and the Americas has led to a sluggish aviation industry, and the sharp decline in orders from Boeing and the competition from Airbus have strengthened their desire to stabilize their markets in Asia.

Especially for a big customer like the Lee consortium, they will never let Airbus grab it.

Boeing executives are well aware that as the Lee consortium's influence in Asia continues to expand, their Heung Kong Airlines will become bigger and bigger, and 3,500 planes is not a big deal for Heung Kong Airlines.

Together with Cathay Pacific, China Airlines on the island, and Malaysia Airlines and Thai Airways in the future, which are also affected by them, these are likely to follow in the footsteps of Heung Kong Airlines and buy products from the same airline for future maintenance and upkeep.

However, Connie Akarin knows very well that Xiangjiang Airlines will never purchase an aircraft from a manufacturing company, and Xiangjiang Airlines will definitely have both Airbus and Boeing at that time, which is due to the needs of the development of the Lee consortium.

Of course, they need to compete for the number of aircraft purchased by any of these companies, and he doesn't want Boeing's aircraft to occupy a small part of Xiangjiang Airlines in the future, which will be a huge blow to them.

And this will also affect their Boeing sales in the mainland, at present, Heung Kong Airlines has opened routes in many key cities in the mainland, if these routes are all Airbus flights, the impact on the local area is very large, is not conducive to their Boeing promotion.

While he was still thinking, Gan Qin came in and said, "Mr. Akalin, please come with me, Li Sheng is in the office and you are waiting for you." ”

Lee Kwang-woo replied to Connie Akarin in the same way as Kendi Jesse, and this was not the time for him to discuss the purchase of a machine.

It is impossible for him to promise anything to the two parties on these issues, and after Zhao Wenhua negotiated with them and determined the conditions of the two companies, Li Guangyu was deciding which aircraft to buy.

As for the purchase of Cathay Pacific Airways, Li Guangyu directly pushed it to Guo Lingming, after all, the Singapore consortium is the force that controls the airline, and Li Guangyu will not go to the substitute.

After seeing the two away, Li Guangyu asked Gan Qin to inform Zhao Wenhua to come to the office, and Li Guangyu wanted to know the specific situation in Kuala Lumpur and Bangkok.

The headquarters of Heung Kong Air Transport Group is located in the office building of Heung Kong Aircraft Engineering Company at Kai Tak Airport, and the property market in Heung Kong has not yet bottomed out, and the land is still relatively expensive, so they can only use it at present.

In the next year, this side will buy a piece of land in the surrounding area for the construction of the group building and the group community, for office and group employees to live.

After receiving a call from Gan Qin, Zhao Wenhua said a word to the general manager of the administration department, then left the group and rushed towards the Li Building.

Zhao Wenhua is also busy these days, one is the construction of the base in Bangkok, he sent Gu Shiyu, the vice president of the group, to the past, which leads to the five vice presidents of the group, only Zong Hongyan, the vice president in charge of finance and administration, is still in the group.

The other four all went out, Wang Junchang went to lead Cathay Pacific Airways, Feng Senfei was in charge of the Baodao Air Base, Han Jingliang was in charge of the Kuala Lumpur Air Base, and Gu Shiyu went to Bangkok, which made the group's senior management busy during this time.

Moreover, he has to communicate with Wang Junchang about the route in the past few days, so as to avoid the huge competition between the two airlines and the loss of too much profit for the two companies.

In the past, Cathay Pacific was treated under special protection, so the flight time at Kai Tak Airport was quite bad, which greatly affected their passenger flow.

Now that it has been acquired by the Singapore consortium and the Lee interest group, these naturally need to be adjusted, and at the same time, try to allow the two airlines to fly to the same area for a period of time, so as to avoid the situation of passenger flow being diverted.

In Lee's office, Mr. Chio gave a detailed report on the construction of Kuala Lumpur and Bangkok, as well as a survey of passenger traffic in the aviation markets of the two places.

After listening to this, Li Guangyu asked him: "How many planes do you think we need at these two bases in the near future to meet the needs of the two places?" ”

"Li Sheng, we are in Kuala Lumpur and Bangkok, are mainly based on international aviation, basically will not involve their domestic routes, and these two areas are a lot of Chinese, to the mainland at least need at least two or three planes to open the initial routes, which are mainly the mainland's capital, Shanghai and Huacheng, Bangkok can also open a route to Rongcheng. ”

"On the international side, Tokyo needs one plane, then London, Los Angeles, Sydney, Jakarta, Paris, Seoul and other places, and in this regard, I expect that it will take eight to ten planes to support it initially. ”

In this regard, Zhao Wenhua did not have such a layout to Xiangjiang and Baodao, these two regions are very many international routes, whether it is the Americas, Western Europe, and Asia, many important cities have opened flights.

Both Kuala Lumpur and Bangkok are auxiliary bases, and their status is far from being comparable with the two bases of Xiangjiang and Taoyuan.

Li Guangyu said: "In the past two days, it is estimated that the senior management of Boeing and Airbus will discuss the purchase of aircraft with you, and you will discuss with them, the purchase of aircraft is tentatively set at 30, which one is more suitable for the price, which one will buy its products, as for the route, let the local person in charge make a good plan, once the base is put into use, the aircraft that come back will be given priority to the routes with higher passenger flow." ”

Zhao Wenhua immediately replied: "Okay Li Sheng, I will arrange it." ”

He was quite happy that after this time, the airline had 90 aircraft, and only 10 aircraft were missing, and it was able to break through to the scale of 100.

He believes that this is just the beginning, because the future aviation market will continue to grow, the mainland economy will continue to develop, and Heung Kong Airlines will continue to expand, and he will be the president of the world's top air transport group in the future.

Li Guangyu said: "Our airline continues to grow, and at the same time, Cathay Pacific Airways also needs us to provide talents, so the Heung Kong Air Flight Attendant Academy in Tin Shui Wai should pay attention to it, which has been handed over to your group, how are you prepared?"

"Li Sheng, we will recruit a group of employees for training next month, and at the same time, the design major of our aircraft engineering company will also start classes there. In the past six months, we have mainly trained the company's internal personnel. In the second half of the year, we will recruit students from the society, and the study time in the school is two years, and the group internship is one year. ”

Zhao Wenhua has always attached great importance to this school as a place to provide reserve talents for their group in the future, and Zong Hongyan, vice president of the group, is personally in charge of the affairs there, and goes to Tin Shui Wai every week to inspect the situation there.

The school's teachers are also the best talents of the group, and he hopes that in the future, the school will become a base for Asian aviation talents.
