After nearly three months, Zhao Wenhua finally made the opening of the first route in the mainland, which is a very good start for Xiangjiang Airlines, and its route is the route from Xiangjiang to Huacheng. As for the Beijing and Shanghai markets, they are still applying, and it is estimated that they will have to wait for a while.

Li Guangyu had just returned from Hutchison Whampoa, and Zhao Wenhua reported the good news to Li Guangyu.

Li Guangyu was also very happy to hear this, he knew that the difficulty of getting the route there was far greater than the route he opened in other regions. Although only one route has been approved so far, Li Guangyu believes that there will be more and more routes from Xiangjiang to mainland cities in the future.

Zhao Wenhua said: "Li Sheng, the route to Huacheng can be approved so quickly, the leaders of Guangdong Province have given us a lot of help, and it is with their promotion that our route to Huacheng can be approved so quickly." ”

Li Guangyu knew that the high-level contribution of Guangdong Province was to strengthen the ties between Hong Kong and them, and to support Hong Kong Airlines, so that Li Guangyu could continue to maintain his investment in Pengcheng.

Li Guangyu said: "The other two cities should also step up their ties and strive to open air routes between these two cities as soon as possible. At the same time, we should also pay attention to the passenger flow of airports in several other major cities on the mainland, and apply to them for the opening of air routes when appropriate. ”

After Li Guangyu finished talking about the arrangements for the mainland route, he told Zhao Wenhua about the problem of the Xiangjiang Air Cargo Terminal Management Company, and asked him to arrange for someone to go to Hutchison Whampoa to buy the shares in his hands, and at the same time asked him to convene a board meeting as a major shareholder to officially take over the affairs of the Xiangjiang Air Cargo Terminal Management Company.

Zhao Wenhua is very happy about this, he has Xiangjiang Aircraft Engineering Company under Xiangjiang Airlines, and now there is Xiangjiang Air Cargo Terminal Management Company, he believes that his company is not far from the establishment of the group, and he himself will officially become one of the top management of the Li Group.

Zhao Wenhua said: "Li Sheng, after I go back, I will lead the staff to Hutchison Whampoa to negotiate the acquisition, and strive to complete the acquisition of its shares in these two days, when we hold 50% of the shares, in the Xiangjiang Air Cargo Terminal Management Company has the right to change the company's personnel." ”

"This acquisition is likely to take a long time, so you have to keep the company running and don't let things like Cathay Pacific do with the company, otherwise we're going to be in big trouble," Lee said. ”

Li Guangyu was mainly worried that Henry Keswick and Wooden Shihuaia would be in the way, and he would not be able to unload the cargo plane that arrived in Hong Kong.

Zhao Wenhua immediately assured: "Li Sheng, I will definitely maintain the stable development of the company and will not let the Cathay Pacific incident happen to our Xiangjiang Airlines." ”

Zhao Wenhua doesn't believe that someone will come to dig the corner at this time, but there is only one air cargo terminal management company in Xiangjiang, and it will be difficult for these people to find jobs in the same industry if they change jobs. And to dig into the corner of the Li Group, they have to consider whether their company can withstand the retaliation of the Li Group.

Li Guangyu said: "You have to try to complete the route plan of the airline as soon as possible, Mr. MacLehose is less than half a year away from leaving office, once the governor is changed, we still have such a good talk, and I am not sure, you strive to open up more routes in these few months." ”

Zhao Wenhua also knows that there are no restrictions on the current routes of Heung Kong Airlines, and if he doesn't seize this time to win some routes, he will be sorry for Li Guangyu to fight for such a good opportunity for them.

Zhao Wenhua said: "Li Sheng, I will arrange for people to go to some of the cities we have booked to negotiate, and strive to win these routes as soon as possible, but I still ask you to tell you how to lay out the mainland side." ”

Li Guangyu said: "The cities on the mainland are mainly located in Jinmen, Fengtian, Chang'an, Jiangcheng, Rongcheng, Shuangqing, Lin'an, and Jinling. How much can we apply for, we can open one flight a week in the early stage, and we can use it as a market. As passenger traffic changes, we are adding flights. ”

Li Guangyu knew that as the mainland's reform and opening up continued, more and more mainland people would come to Xiangjiang, and there would be no problem with the flow of tourists in the future. As for now, more people from the Xiangjiang side go to the mainland.

The passengers from the mainland are mainly government office workers and international students, and ordinary citizens do not have that strength.

Zhao Wenhua didn't expect Li Guangyu to be so optimistic about the mainland market, and asked him to negotiate with so many cities about shipping routes at one time.

However, he did not object to Li Guangyu's request, since Li Guangyu ordered it like this, he just did it according to the instructions, but with so many route applications, how many routes could be passed on the mainland, Zhao Wenhua himself did not know the bottom of his heart.

Zhao Wenhua said: "Li Sheng, after our company became the owner of the Xiangjiang Air Cargo Terminal Management Company, I will personally go north to these cities and negotiate with the local government to try to win these routes." ”

Li Guangyu said: "You can do your best in this regard, and I won't give you any hard indicators, one will count." ”

The mainland route not only needs the consent of the local government, but also needs the approval of the Aviation Administration, and they still have many things to consider.

Li Guangyu's biggest route is still in Rongcheng and Shuangqing, Li Guangyu's hometown is in Sichuan and Shu Province, and the Cao Weiqing Charity Fund has been funding the establishment of rural primary schools in Sichuan and Shu Province over the years. He believes that Heung Kong Airlines will support the route to their two cities.

Although Li Guangyu said this, Zhao Wenhua was still determined to win more city routes and live up to Li Guangyu's importance to himself.

Subsequently, Zhao Wenhua reported to Li Guangyu on the use of the four passenger planes that returned this month.

One of the Airbus aircraft is used on the Huacheng route, while the other three aircraft fly directly to San Francisco, Jakarta and Kuala Lumpur.

After listening to this, Li Guangyu said: "We must speed up the layout of Southeast Asia, the treasure island side can not only have the Taipei route, but also prepare the layout in Tainan, and the Japanese side cannot only take care of Tokyo." As for the South Korean side, there is a Seoul route, so there is no need to worry too much. ”

Zhao Wenhua also hopes to open more routes, but now there are not enough planes, and now it is good for each country and region to open flights to one city.

At the same time, Zhao Wenhua also felt that he was too tired on the side of Xiangjiang Airlines than Cathay Pacific, and it was difficult to add two routes a year. Xiangjiang Airlines is constantly increasing its routes every month, if it is not for the planes to keep up, I am afraid that Xiangjiang Airlines will have their planes departing from the airport every hour.

Zhao Wenhua said: "Li Sheng, when our capacity is sufficient, I will consider opening more routes in these areas." As you know, at present, our airlines only have a total of 12 planes, and only 16 planes have returned this month, so we still have too few planes compared to the routes. ”

Li Guangyu didn't have much to do about it, and it was pretty good for Boeing and Airbus to be able to provide them with two passenger planes each month.
