When Feng Xinqi attended the Pengcheng land auction, Li Guangyu was listening to Zhao Wenhua's report on the purchase of the Airbus A330.

This time, Airbus is obviously very concerned about the order of 100 aircraft, and has made huge concessions on the price, both sides know each other's details very well, Airbus is eager to get the order, and Xiangjiang Airlines is eager to buy the plane back, so the price of the two parties is still quite fast.

London Airport and São Paulo Airport will officially become the base airports of Hong Kong Airlines on the first of next month, and now Hong Kong Airlines is communicating on the route issue, and it will officially fly on the first day.

London Airport opened the first batch of 10 routes, operating Paris, Rome, Vienna, Belgrade, Istanbul, Athens, New York, Toronto, Beijing and Tokyo.

São Paulo Airport also has 10 routes, namely Mexico, New York, Los Angeles, Madrid, Lisbon, London, Paris, Sydney, Tokyo and Beijing.

Li Guangyu said: "Wenhua, if there is no problem, sign the contract at such a price, it is estimated that this is almost the lowest price that Airbus can give, and it is absolutely impossible for Boeing to give such a discount." ”

After the morning negotiation, the unit price of Airbus was set at a price of 46 million US dollars, compared with the Boeing 747 of the same type of 53 million US dollars, this one is 7 million US dollars cheaper, you must know that as a new model, the Airbus A330 public price is only 500,000 US dollars lower than the Boeing 747 of the same type of aircraft.

Although there will be a little concession in actual sales, the vice degree will definitely not be so large, and if Li Guangyu buys the same type of Boeing 747 for less than 50 million US dollars, it is simply a dream.

Zhao Wenhua also knows that if the price continues to stick, it is just a waste of time, and the longer it drags on, the more expensive the price will be in the future, the cost of the aircraft is rising every year, and the price is also rising, and now it can get 46 million a plane, it is estimated that this time next year, it will be 48 million or even 50 million, and it is estimated that a plane will cost hundreds of millions of dollars in ten or twenty years.

Thinking of this, Zhao Wenhua also felt extremely strong pressure, Li Guangyu could not have been injecting funds into Xiangjiang Air Transport Group without restrictions, and in the future, when it came to a certain period of time, Xiangjiang Airlines would have to rely on themselves if they wanted to expand.

Zhao Wenhua responded: "Li Sheng, I will sign a purchase contract with Kendi Jesse tomorrow, and at the same time prepare for the operation of the airport bases in London and Sao Paulo. ”

"The base airport of the Xiangjiang Air Transport Group has been basically perfected, and it will not be increased in the future, and now the operating fleet of our aviation group is also very large, and the future expansion will mainly be based on your group's own profits, and I will not inject large-scale capital into the group, so you must have a long-term plan for the purchase of aircraft yourself."

At the same time, it is also necessary to choose an aircraft suitable for the route, do not focus on the Airbus A330, such as London to Paris, Vienna, Sweden, Rome and other routes, the Airbus A320 is completely sufficient. ”

Li Guangyu has invested nearly 15 billion US dollars in the Heung Kong Air Transport Group, which is the largest among all Lee's groups, even the Wheelock Group, Starlight Real Estate Group, and Bentley Group are not as much as the Heung Kong Air Transport Group.

In the past, the fleet size was relatively small, the profitability was not too strong, and the number of base airports was constantly increasing, in order to accelerate the expansion of Xiangjiang Air Transport Group, Li Guangyu injected huge funds into Xiangjiang Airlines again and again.

Investing in air transport, this aspect is mainly to expand the influence of the Li consortium, this guy has a large investment, slow returns, and the profits of many of Lee's groups can throw Xiangjiang Airlines far away, especially Hengyu Supermarket Group, which mainly relies on Li Guangyu to inject less than 10 billion Hong Kong dollars in the early stage, and has developed to the current scale, and has to feel its own hematopoietic ability.

Li Guangyu can't always be a nanny for some groups, after developing to a certain extent, they have to rely on themselves, with such a foundation, if it is not because of the factors of natural disasters, the group still can't develop, that is, the group's top management is unqualified.

In the coming period, Li Guangyu will focus on supporting Phoenix Software Company, Wheelock Shipping Group, Xuelan Supermarket Group, and Kowloon Group, and other groups will mainly rely on their own expansion.

Especially the monster of the Kowloon Group, Li Guangyu will need to continue to inject capital into it for a long time, and there will be little profit in the short term.

It will take ten years before the Kowloon Group really begins to become a cash cow, and at that time, the Kowloon Group will have a huge cash flow every day, and it is estimated that there will be several major retail groups and Heung Kong Airlines to compare with it, and the hotel group is estimated to be difficult to compete with the Kowloon Group.

Zhao Wenhua had already expected this, if the development and expansion of major groups have been required by Li Guangyu to inject capital, then what else do they have to do at the top of the group, if the group wants to develop well, it mainly depends on its own hematopoiesis, and it is difficult to rely on Li Guangyu's capital injection to develop steadily.

Seeing that it is about to enter the end of the year, Zhao Wenhua needs to make next year's purchase plan now, so as to avoid all the profits being taken away by Li Guangyu after the year-end summary.

Now is different from the past, in the past few years, Li Guangyu has never withdrawn the profits of major groups, but when necessary, he will draw from several high-profit groups such as Xingyu Game Group, Xiangyu Culture Group, and Hengyu Supermarket Group.

Since the beginning of this year, in addition to the funds needed for the expansion of the major groups in the new year, the excess funds need to be handed over to Li Guangyu, if they do not make a plan for next year in advance, the development of the group will be affected to a certain extent.

Although Heung Kong Air Transport Group is a gold-eating beast, its profit this year is still good, and its net profit this year is expected to reach 1.2 billion US dollars.

Of course, he did not calculate the depreciation cost of the aircraft, and the planes of Heung Kong Airlines generally choose to deal with them after 15 years of flight, and even some aircraft will be retired after less than 15 years of use.

This is mainly due to the nature of the routes of Heung Kong Air Transport Group, the main routes of Heung Kong Air are transnational popular routes, and many of them are ultra-long-distance flights, and the flight time is very long, so the service life will be shorter.

If you calculate depreciation, their net profit this year is about $300 million.

Airlines must not only make profits, but mainly because the construction funds of the two major support bases have been jointly built with several major airports in the mainland to build aircraft engineering companies, so the net profit is so small.

With more than one billion US dollars in hand, plus the remaining 400 million US dollars this time, Zhao Wenhua naturally needs to make some plans, Li Guangyu has approved the purchase of 100 Airbus A330s here, and he does not need to think about buying aircraft in this area.

He plans to purchase 30 Airbus A320s next year, this one will cost 40 million US dollars, use up 1.2 billion US dollars, and have the remaining funds for backup, and he believes that Li Guangyu will not withdraw his funds.

Zhao Wenhua said loudly: "Li Sheng, I will do a good job in this aspect of planning, our group will report next year's development plan to you at the end of this month, I believe that Heung Kong Air Transport Group will be one of the pillar groups of Li's in the future, and our group will also become a cash cow of Li's enterprise." ”
