Chapter 606: Taoyuan Base

On the morning of the 19th, at Zhongzheng Airport in Taoyuan City, the entry ceremony of Xiangjiang Airlines Taoyuan Base was held.

This is the first sub-base of Hong Kong Airlines, and it is also the second largest base planned by Hong Kong Airlines, which can currently ensure that 30 aircraft of Hong Kong Airlines stay and maintain here.

At the same time, the base also leaves room for future expansion, once Heung Kong Airlines expands, it will be able to complete the subsequent expansion work within three months, expanding from the current 30 aircraft shutdown scale to 60 aircraft.

The Li consortium was personally led by Li Xuemei, Zhao Wenhua, President of Heung Kong Air Transport Group, Wang Junchang, Vice President, Han Weihui, General Manager of the Group's Board of Directors and Administration Department, and several vice presidents on the island side also attended the ceremony.

Taoyuan City Mayor Wang Jie also brought Taoyuan City government officials to attend, and the cooperation between Taoyuan City and the Li Consortium in recent years has made Wang Jie, as the mayor of Taoyuan City, feel very good.

The Li consortium has continuously increased its investment in Taoyuan, making Taoyuan's economic development second only to Taipei in recent years, even if it currently claims to build Asia's silicon Hsinchu, it cannot be compared with itself.

With the continuous increase of flights from Taoyuan Airport to various countries and regions, it is more convenient for Taoyuan Airport to reach various regions.

This also makes the citizens of Baodao choose to come to Taoyuan to take flights to various places, no longer as before, sometimes need to take a plane to Xiangjiang or Tokyo, and then transfer flights to various regions.

At the same time, the opening of air routes has also driven some countries and regions to come to Baodao for tourism, and Taoyuan, as the city where the airport is located, naturally enjoys the benefits brought by the airport, allowing them to achieve rapid development in the tourism and service industries, which has led to the rapid economic growth of Taoyuan.

After Wang Jie arrived, he said to Li Xuemei: "Ms. Li, congratulations on the opening of your aviation base, and I wish the development of Xiangjiang Air Transport Group better and better." ”

Li Xuemei said politely: "Mayor Wang, I would like to thank your government for its support and care for our group, otherwise our base would not have been put into use so quickly, and I also believe that the development of Heung Kong Airlines in the treasure island area will develop better and better with your support." ”

Wang Jie also hopes that Heung Kong Airlines will continue to increase the number of routes from Taoyuan to Western Europe and North America, so that Taoyuan Airport can become a hub airport in Asia at the same level as Xiangjiang, Tokyo and Singapore.

Their government-run China Airlines is not currently able to take on this heavy responsibility, and their government cannot afford to provide so much money to support the airline's expansion, and he can only rely on Heung Kong Airlines to realize such an idea.

He hopes that Taoyuan Airport can become his new political achievement, so as to increase his capital to move into a higher position in the next term.

Li Xuemei said: "Mayor Wang, we Li Sheng also attaches great importance to the construction of Taoyuan base, and at the same time, as one of the dual cores of our airlines, we will gradually open routes from Taoyuan to all regions of the world according to the needs of the market in the future, so as to meet the travel needs of the citizens of Baodao." ”

The inoccupancy ceremony was presided over by Feng Senfei, vice president of the air transport group, who is also the head of the air transport group on the island.

Li Xuemei and Zhao Wenhua, President of the Group, Wang Jie, Mayor of Taoyuan City, Gu Zhenfu, the helmsman of the Gu family, and Wu Shunwen, Chairman of Yulon Group, held the ribbon-cutting ceremony.

Starting tonight, there will be 15 Heung Kong Airlines planes stationed here to relieve the pressure on the Heung Jiang side.

At present, Xiangjiang Airlines has a total of 50 Boeing and Airbus planes, plus Li Guangyu's private plane, Xiangjiang cannot meet the overnight guarantee of so many aircraft.

And the planes that will come back in the next few months will be parked here in Taipei, and there will be as many as 25 planes that need maintenance and support here, and 36 planes on the Xiangjiang side plus Li Guangyu's special plane, and there will still be a little room for space.

After the ribbon-cutting ceremony, a reporter from Baodao China Daily asked Li Xuemei: "Ms. Li, at present, a large number of Heung Kong Airlines planes are stationed at the Taoyuan base, I wonder if you have any plans to open additional routes?"

In the past, there was no guarantee from Xiangjiang Aircraft Engineering Company on this side of Baodao, so they were mainly short- and medium-haul routes in Asia on this side of Baodao, and they would fly to Xiangjiang route from that city after they arrived at the city, and then change planes in Xiangjiang, and the remaining aircraft would be overhauled and maintained by Xiangjiang Aircraft Engineering Company to ensure the safety of the aircraft.

Now that the base is in use, and Heung Kong Aircraft Engineering Company has also personnel to settle in, they are able to fly long-haul routes, such as Los Angeles, Vancouver, Paris and London.

These are the routes that are currently lacking in the treasure island, and they don't want the citizens of the treasure island to need to change to Japan or Xiangjiang every time they go to these areas, wasting a lot of their time, and the procedures are more troublesome.

Li Xuemei said: "Thank you for your concern about our company, we still need to communicate with the government of Baodao on the issue of routes, and we also need to adjust some routes to make our flights more convenient for the citizens of Baodao." Please also rest assured that from next month, there will be ten more aircraft stationed at the Taoyuan base, and we will definitely add some routes. ”

The reporter was very excited when he heard Li Xuemei's words, and at present, Baodao's routes in Southeast Asia and Japan and South Korea are almost laid out, and the ten new passenger planes will definitely open many long-distance routes.

Referring to the routes opened by Heung Kong Airlines on the Xiangjiang side, their treasure island will also be able to have direct flights to some big cities in Europe and the United States in the near future, and they will be able to make it much more convenient in the future.

A reporter from Baodao Economic News asked: "Ms. Li, our Baodao has developed rapidly in recent years, and your Li consortium also attaches great importance to the development of Baodao, I don't know what layout and planning you have in Baodao next?"

"Baodao has always been one of the important markets of our Li Group, and we also attach great importance to the development of Baodao, our investment in Baodao is increasing every year, and we will continue to deepen our investment in Baodao in the future, especially in the high-tech enterprises in Baodao. At the same time, Tianyu Financial Group has established an angel investment fund dedicated to high-tech services in Hsinchu Science and Technology Park, and anyone who has ideas and ideas can contact this fund company. Li Xuemei replied.

This angel investment fund is mainly to provide a financing platform for enterprises in Hsinchu Science and Technology Park, Li Guangyu is very clear that in the future Hsinchu Science and Technology Park has produced a lot of well-known large enterprises, he is now going to be an investor, grasp a part of the shares of these companies, and he will harvest countless wealth in the future.

After dealing with the reporter's interview, Li Guangyu expressed his gratitude to Gu Zhenfu and Wu Shunwen for coming, and at the same time, on behalf of Li Guangyu, invited them to visit Xiangjiang if they had time.

The general expansion of the Lee consortium in Baodao in the past two years has also made the interests of the group and Koo Zhenfu and Wu Shunwen more and more close, these two are very important allies of the Lee consortium in Baodao, and Li Guangyu also hopes to strengthen ties with these two families.
