Chapter 654 AHK

Li Xuan's forced outfit was caught off guard, thinking that when Ganglong was first established, it was just a rented plane. Even now, Dragonair's fleet consists of only four aircraft, two for its own and two on lease. It can only be said that people are more popular than people, and if Dragonair had a financier like the Eastern Group, it would not be so aggrieved now.

Cao Guangbiao couldn't help but secretly regret that when he established Dragonair, he did not invite Li Xuan to join him. At that time, in order to increase his momentum, Cao Guangbiao invited almost all the tasks in Hong Kong and Macao, but only Li Xuan was missing.

And the reason why Cao Guangbiao did not invite Li Xuan, the richest man in the world, was because his strength was too strong. In case Li Xuan comes to make an anti-guest, Cao Guangbiao may make a wedding dress for others.

What's more, Cao Guangbiao and Li Xuan are not familiar with each other. It stands to reason that the circle of Hong Kong's upper class is not large, and everyone looks up and doesn't look down, but Li Xuan is an outlier among them. First of all, he rose too fast, and with a "whoosh", he not only became the richest man in Hong Kong, but even took the throne of the richest man in the world.

The other rich people haven't had time to make friends with him, and it's already unattainable when they look at it again. And Li Xuan himself is not keen on participating in social gatherings, which makes Cao Guangbiao's opportunities to meet him become a handful.

Of course, if Cao Guangbiao really has a heart, he can always find an opportunity. But he prides himself on being a shopping mall old-timer, and he can't let go of his face and grovel in front of a hairy guy.

It's just that he didn't expect that he would come in the end, he really knew it now, so why bother in the first place!

"We had planned to ship a few business jets under the Cathay Pacific banner, but the management fees they quoted were too high. I thought that instead of letting Cathay Pacific kill me, I might as well set up my own airline!

In fact, someone also mentioned to me at that time that they could contact you Ganglong, but I directly vetoed it!

The biggest problem of your Ganglong is that it has no core competitiveness of its own, but it has been extremely high-profile from the beginning, which is forcing Cathay Pacific to attack you! Although their appearance is ugly, business competition has always been cruel and ruthless!" Li Xuan sighed and said.

Although his words were straightforward and embarrassed Cao Guangbiao, he still didn't have the intention of stopping, and continued to comment: "To put it mildly, even if the Hong Kong government didn't come forward to make things difficult for you before, Shi Huaiya still has other ways to kill you!"

You Ganglong only have four planes in total, and now there are more than a dozen routes to the mainland alone. In other words, one of your planes is responsible for flying several routes.

There is always a routine safety check after a flight, but do you have your own maintenance team? These tasks must be outsourced to HAECO. Although HAECO is a listed company in Hong Kong, the combined shares of Swire and Cathay Pacific have long exceeded 50%, and they are simply subsidiaries of Swire!

None of your Boeing planes are new, and they can ground your planes for a few more days with a little overhaul. What will you do then? If there are no planes, many routes will have to be suspended!

In addition to HAECO, Hactl, which has the exclusive right to operate cargo transportation at Kai Tak Airport, is also inseparable from the Swire Group. People only need to let your Dragonair flight land, the transfer speed of random luggage is a little slower, which is enough to make passengers have a great impression of you!

The seat capacity of your route is not high, and if you dislike the passengers, it will really be a big deal!"

There are many ways to play tricks, and Li Xuan said it in a few words, so that Cao Guangbiao broke out in a cold sweat.

"Cathay Pacific's monopoly of Hong Kong's aviation industry is not only because of the golden routes it occupies on the surface, but also because it controls the entire aviation logistics system centered on Kai Tak Airport!

In addition to its involvement in the business charter market, AHK Air's real main business is air cargo. Compared with logistics methods such as sea freight, the biggest advantage of air freight is that it is efficient and fast.

For example, from Hong Kong to Los Angeles, a container ship takes half a month, while a plane only takes half a day. However, the disadvantage of air freight is that it is expensive, which also leads to the fact that ordinary bulk cargo is not suitable for air freight. However, for some urgent shipments or high-value goods, air freight is usually preferred.

Many of the products of the Eastern Group are ideally suited for air logistics. For example, the volume of a semiconductor chip is only a few cubic centimeters, but the price is often hundreds of dollars, so it can be said that it is not sensitive to that little air logistics cost. In the process of chip production, aviation logistics runs throughout.

With the deepening of global economic integration, the international industrial division of labor has become more detailed. Even in high-tech industries such as semiconductors, many processes have begun to shift to places with lower production costs. For example, Dongfang Semiconductor Company only retains its R&D department in the United States and a few advanced process fabs in the wafer factory, while some second-rate production lines are gradually transferred to Taiwan, Singapore and other places.

After the wafer is prepared, it also needs to go through cutting, packaging, testing and other processes before it can become a qualified processor. Most of these follow-up links are outsourced to other cooperative manufacturers, and many of these cooperative factories are built in Southeast Asia. Therefore, the entire production process from wafer to chip can be said to span more than half the world, and it can be quickly completed with the help of airplanes.

Because of the emergence of the Oriental Group, a huge high-tech electronics industry chain has gathered around Hong Kong, which has led to the explosive growth of the air cargo market in Asia. And AHK Airlines has successfully seized this opportunity and began to grow rapidly while Cathay Pacific and Dragonair are fighting for the passenger aviation market!

"Mr. Cao, I won't tell you anything, I'm still very interested in Dragonair! I just said so much bluntly, and I don't intend to use this to lower prices! I have always had a principle in doing things, that is, professional things should be handled by professional people! And for the aviation industry, obviously you and I are not professionals! If you can accept the reorganization of Dragonair by Huamin Airlines, then Mr. Bao I will personally talk to you!

As for the other shareholders of the Hong Kong and Macao joint-stock company, I will also ask Mr. Li Ka-shing to come forward to help me mediate! You also know that he owes me a favor these days, and he just used this matter to pay off the debt!" Li Xuan said with a smile, Li Ka-shing, who had just finished dealing with him, was also one of the 30 shareholders of Hong Kong and Macau shares.

"I didn't think much about running Ganglong in the first place, I just wanted to set up a Hong Kong people's own airline to break the monopoly of the British! It's a pity that my ability is limited, and I have been stumbling for four or five years, and now Mr. Li is willing to take over this mess, and I will naturally fully cooperate! You are right, professional things will be done by professionals, and after Huamin acquires Ganglong, I will quit the board of directors of Ganglong. Life is rare for seventy years, and I have reached the age when I should retire to make fun of my grandson!" Cao Guangbiao sighed.

In a few words, the two of them decided the future fate of Ganglong Company. As for the question of the purchase price, no one mentioned it, it seems that it is just a trivial matter!
