At half past ten in the morning, Lee arrived at MacLehose's office.

MacLehose sometimes admires Lee Guangyu very much, and some of his troubles during this period are related to the young man in front of him, which has never occurred in his ten-year career as governor, which has to be said to be an ability of Lee Guangyu.

At present, no consortium in Xiangjiang can have the ability of this young man, and it can make the situation in Xiangjiang turbulent as soon as he makes a move.

After inviting Li Guangyu to sit down with him, MacLehose said to him: "Mr. Li, the fight between you and Cathay Pacific should not have been brought forward by our government, but many Cathay Pacific flights have been grounded, which has caused great pressure on Kai Tak Airport and our government. Our government can't compare and ignore it, I don't know what plans your Xiangjiang Airlines has?"

Li Guangyu guessed such a result when he ordered him to change jobs, and he himself was secretly preparing for this, just waiting for the Xiangjiang government to come to him to discuss that he could take advantage of the situation to come up with the plan, and by the way see if he could get some benefits.

Li Guangyu said: "Mr. MacLehose, you also know that our airline has just signed contracts with Boeing and Airbus, and our aircraft will not be able to join the airline until the beginning of next month at the earliest, and we can't do anything about it ourselves." Besides, this issue has nothing to do with our Hong Kong Airlines, and you should discuss with Cathay Pacific, after all, their company cannot guarantee the normal departure of flights. ”

MacLehose has long known that Li Guangyu will definitely shirk it, and this time it is such an opportunity to hit Cathay Pacific Airways hard, how can the Li consortium let it go. If it weren't for the stability of the situation in Hong Kong, as well as the travel and emotions of passengers at Kai Tak Airport, he would not have bothered to care about Cathay Pacific.

MacLehose said: "Mr. Lee, it's the same thing for Cathay Pacific, but please see the people of Hong Kong and people from all over the world going out to share the market, and I hope that your airline can support some people of Cathay Pacific Airways to ensure the smooth take-off of these flights." ”

Li Guangyu himself is not willing to do such a thing as an enemy, and he was finally able to hit Cathay Pacific Airways hard, so he would not give up such an opportunity, and this had a serious conflict with his next opportunity.

Li Guangyu said: "Mr. MacLehose, this is not good, the personnel of the two companies are not subordinate to each other, if there is a problem in the cooperation, then it will be a big trouble, if there is a problem, this responsibility is not easy to divide." ”

MacLehose was a little unhappy when he heard Li Guangyu refuse again, if Xiangjiang Airlines didn't help this time, this problem would not be solved at all. Not only will Cathay Pacific be pushed to the forefront, but their government's side will not be doing well.

At the same time, MacLehose does not believe that Li Guangyu will be unprepared to make such a decision, in the past few years, Li Guangyu has done everything but left the way back, this time he does not help Cathay Pacific must have other plans, Li Guangyu will definitely not let his company become the target of public criticism.

MacLehose said: "Mr. Li, let's not talk about those hypocritical things, I know that you must have a follow-up solution." Our government needs to calm the impact of this incident at the moment, and you can talk about your solution and conditions, and I will see if it is appropriate. ”

Li Guangyu didn't expect MacLehose to be so direct at this time, it seems that this incident has put a lot of pressure on him, so that MacLehose is eager to solve such a problem.

Li Guangyu said: "Mr. MacLehose, all my major groups are adhering to the idea of serving Xiangjiang and other regions, and this time the citizens of Xiangjiang have encountered difficulties in traveling, and we should solve this problem for them, how can we put forward conditions with the government." ”

MacLehose couldn't understand how this young man, who had just passed his twentieth birthday, could be so thick-skinned, and he could still say such righteous and awe-inspiring words.

MacLehose said: "Mr. Li, there are just the two of us here, you don't have to tell me these useless things, you still say these things to the media, now we want to solve the problem of passenger detention at Kai Tak Airport, if this problem is big, don't blame our government for not taking care of our local airlines in Hong Kong." ”

Li Guangyu knew that if the Xiangjiang government was forced to be in a hurry, they would introduce a large number of foreign airlines to open routes to Xiangjiang, which would be quite unfavorable to the future development of Xiangjiang Airlines.

Lee said: "Mr. MacLehose, our airline needs to get more routes, which needs the approval of your government, which is also to strengthen our position as an aviation hub in Hong Kong and better serve the people of Hong Kong. ”

MacLehose was very speechless about this, your airline does not have a single plane now, and the route far exceeds the route of Cathay Pacific Airways, and this time you are asking for a route, is your company operating it? Besides, Kai Tak Airport is so big, and your company has so many routes, and scheduling is a problem.

Thinking of this, MacLehose only felt that in the future, in the name of serving the citizens of Xiangjiang, he wanted the Xiangjiang government to build a new airport, and the more MacLehose thought about it, the more he felt that there was such a possibility.

MacLehose said: "Mr. Li, do you want our government to build a new airport for Heung Kong Airlines to serve your airline? You also have to consider the actual situation of Kai Tak Airport. ”

Li Guangyu said with a smile: "It would be great if the government was willing to build a new airport, Kai Tak Airport is located in the center of the city, not only is it not very safe, but also does not meet the status of Hong Kong as an aviation hub, if the government is willing to build a new airport, we are willing to donate 100 million Hong Kong dollars to support the government's construction." ”

MacLehose didn't bother to pay attention to Li Guangyu, does such a thing mean that it can be built? Anyway, he doesn't have to worry about this matter himself, or let the later people deal with it.

MacLehose said: "In terms of routes, I will not restrict you, as long as you can queue up at Kai Tak Airport, it will not affect the safety and operation of the airport, and I will not stop you from agreeing to your route locally." I'm going to step down in May next year, so you only have half a year, and how much you can open depends on the capacity of your airline. ”

Lee Guangyu didn't expect MacLehose to support him so much, he had a feeling of winning the jackpot. In fact, he didn't know that the reason why MacLehose opened their airline's routes this time was that he hoped to solve the current problem as soon as possible, and it was also the position of Lee Guangyu and Cathay Pacific. Compared with Cathay Pacific Airways, MacLehose hopes that Lee Guangyu's airline can dominate the aviation market in Hong Kong.

Li Guangyu said with a smile: "Mr. MacLehose, thank you for taking care of our airline, our company will serve the citizens of Hong Kong and other regions wholeheartedly, and expand the influence of Hong Kong in the world." ”

MacLehose said: "Mr. Li, I don't ask you to be on our side, I just hope that you can always maintain your current position." As you said, if you are a businessman, you should make your own contribution to the economic stability of Hong Kong, and you don't need to get involved in other things. Now tell me about your solution, so that I can rest assured. ”

Li Guangyu said: "Mr. MacLehose, I heard about this this morning, and I am also quite anxious, and the travel of citizens is a big problem. For this reason, I specially contacted Gan Qinglin in Japan and Gu Zhengsheng in Takakushima, and asked them to contact Tokyo Airlines and China Airlines, and they each rented a Boeing 747-200 aircraft at their company. ”

MacLehose didn't believe that he only ordered it this morning, and he probably had already negotiated with these two airlines.

MacLehose said: "If there are only two planes, I'm afraid it's not enough." Cathay Pacific has 6 flights grounded this time, what are you prepared for?"
