The development of Xiangjiang Airlines is booming, and Cao Guangbiao, who is in the chairman's office of Cathay Pacific Airways, has not been in a good mood after taking over the company.

Half of Cathay Pacific's staff jumped ship, the mainland borrowed people's turmoil, and the suspension of some routes dealt a considerable blow to Cathay Pacific, coupled with the price competition of Hong Kong Airlines, so that Cathay Pacific Airways is currently unable to make any profits.

In particular, the management office of Hong Kong Kai Tak Airport made some adjustments to the time of their routes, which made Cathay Pacific even more uncomfortable.

At half past nine in the morning, Fok Yingdong, Bao Yugang, Dong Haoyun and Hu Yingxiang came to Cathay Pacific Airways one after another to discuss the current predicament faced by Cathay Pacific Airways.

In the conference room of Cathay Pacific Airways, this time there were not only Bao Yugang and others, but also Zhou Chuanhui, the general manager of Cathay Pacific Airways, also attended the meeting.

Zhou Chuanhui said to Cao Guangbiao and others: "At present, our airline has not had a high passenger flow due to flight scheduling, and the idle of some of our aircraft has also increased our maintenance costs. In particular, our planes are maintained by Heung Kong Aircraft Engineering Company, and their prices are the same as those charged by other airlines, which makes our Cathay Pacific not have some of the advantages it had in the ancient times. ”

Later, Zhou Chuanhui also reported on some of the many problems faced by Cathay Pacific, that is, he did not propose a solution that could be solved, Cao Guangbiao was quite dissatisfied with the general manager, if it wasn't for the fact that there was no one in his hands, and considering some of the impact, Cao Guangbiao would have let him go immediately.

After Cao Guangbiao finished his report, he let him leave the conference room, and there was no need for Zhou Chuanhui to discuss here now.

Fok Yingdong said: "Guangbiao, if you really can't do it, you can also serve as the general manager of Cathay Pacific Airways, and let the professionals over there serve as your assistants, otherwise if this continues, Cathay Pacific will only be dragged down." ”

Cao Guangbiao actually knows that even if he becomes the general manager, it is quite difficult to reverse the current situation of Cathay Pacific Airways. This is not only to face the competition of Hong Kong Airlines, but also the Hong Kong government is also suppressing it intentionally or unintentionally, and their Cathay Pacific has not approved any of the routes they hope will increase to the mainland.

Cao Guangbiao said: "Yingdong, Yugang, now we have to consider the problem of our idle aircraft, how to deal with it now, our route does not need so many aircraft now, if it is retained, it will make our company pay some more maintenance costs." ”

In the face of such a situation, Huo Yingdong and others can only consider transferring the idle aircraft, and keeping it in their own hands is just a burden, but it is better to bring some liquidity to the company after the transfer.

Bao Yugang said: "Guangbiao, if you transfer, do you have any goals to take over now?"

Cao Guangbiao said: "Yugang, I plan to sell the six aircraft that have been used for a long time in our company and return the funds for subsequent development. The goal still needs to be thought about, and you and Haoyun need to worry a little more about this. ”

Cao Guangbiao and Huo Yingdong have no relationship with Bao Yugang and Dong Haoyunguang, these two world-class ship kings have some connections in various regions, and it is relatively easy for them to contact the airline to take over.

Xiangjiang Airlines doesn't have to think about it, there are new planes joining every month, they really don't lack planes, and Li Guangyu also looks down on these backward second-hand aircraft, Xiangjiang Airlines orders are currently the most advanced batch of aircraft of Minyun Airlines, whether it is Boeing's 747-200 or Airbus's A300-B2.

Bao Yugang said: "Guangbiao, I will contact some airlines in Southeast Asia when I go back to see if they are willing to take over these planes." ”

Then they began to discuss the issue of Cathay Pacific's routes, and if this problem was not solved, they Cathay Pacific would never be able to develop.

And this problem is quite difficult now, especially after the Hong Kong Airlines opened up the route there is blocked, and it is even more difficult for their Cathay Pacific Airways to get the route from the Hong Kong Transport and Housing Authority.

After a moment of silence in the audience, Bao Yugang said: "If we Cathay Pacific want to develop, the biggest problem is still with Li Guangyu, if we can't reach an agreement with him on this issue, it is basically impossible for our Cathay Pacific to develop and grow." ”

Bao Yugang knows very well that it is almost impossible to reach an agreement with Li Guangyu on this issue now, and Bao Yugang is also very anxious now.

Li Guangyu doesn't seem to care about the market at all, just today, the opening of the remote route on the island marks the first part of Xiangjiang Airlines' outward expansion, and in the future, Xiangjiang Airlines is no longer only Xiangjiang to other regions.

This time it is Taoyuan to Bangkok, he believes that Heung Kong Airlines will open more routes from Taoyuan to other regions in the future, but Pao Yugang knows that the Taoyuan base of Heung Kong Airlines is under construction.

But they Cathay Pacific do not have such ability, Bao Yugang does not think that his airline can casually enter other regions to compete with local airlines, they do not have the strength of the Li consortium.

Pao Yugang is not optimistic about the future of Cathay Pacific Airways, they will not drag on for 97 years, these ten years, the Xiangjiang government will obviously restrict Cathay Pacific, and Xiangjiang Airlines will not give up the suppression of Cathay Pacific.

And what worries Bao Yugang is that once the economy of Xiangjiang is turbulent, some of their shareholders will be very uncomfortable, such as Dong Haoyun, who is now very difficult to maintain his shipping company.

They borrowed a lot of money to buy Cathay Pacific at that time, and they continued to lose money, and few people would be willing to continue to hold shares in Cathay Pacific.

Huo Yingdong and the others also know what the problem is, but now this has become a dead knot, and it cannot be opened in a short time.

Bao Yugang is a little better, if they go to discuss these with Li Guangyu, it is estimated that Li Guangyu will send them off directly. It is rumored that the investment company is now acquiring the shares of some minority shareholders of Hutchison Whampoa, and Hutchison Whampoa will be their community of interests at that time.

And last night, the He family was holding a dinner party, which was attended by several branches of the He family, the Luo family and Li Guangyu. Thinking of these forces, Huo Yingdong's heart was full of worries, especially at this juncture.

Fok Ying-tung understands that the problem is not only the problem of the airline, but also the problem of extending behind it, and if these problems are not solved, it is impossible for them to Cathay Pacific Airways to stop such a target for Hong Kong Airlines.

Huo Yingdong felt that he needed to communicate with the senior management over there, and the matter had to be resolved quickly, otherwise it might not only be his airline's problem at that time.

Fok Yingdong is very concerned about some of the investments of the Li consortium, and some of Guangyu's practices make Fok Yingdong feel that he is leaving enough retreat for the future, and this is also the thing that makes Fok Yingdong most worried, the Li consortium has too much influence now.
