Chapter 439: Ambow Airport's Profitability Problem
Xu Qing happily touched the heads of the black beans and black pearls, and took the trout from their mouths.
I used these two trout to add food to them at noon today, and my grandfather made them himself.
Black beans and black pearls don't just eat dog food, Xu Qing usually eats some relatively light meat, and the two of them will also eat it.
Grandpa had also had dogs before and knew how to make the right food for dogs.
Maoqiu saw that the black bean couple had caught a fish, and they also wanted to catch a fish.
On a previous trip around the American continent, Furball befriended a flock of seagulls and saw firsthand how seagulls catch fish from the sea.
In the sea, the furball does not dare to catch fish, and the waves of the sea make the furball afraid.
But this calm and waveless river, hairballs are not afraid, not to mention that the black bean couple can catch fish, and it can catch it too!
The hairball hovered over the river for a while, spotted a fish, and swooped straight down, with its mouth stretched out.
The hairball is very fast, and in the blink of an eye, its mouth touches the river.
However, in the next second, the situation was unexpected by Furball.
The furball thought it could swoop like its seagulls friends, catch the fish, and return.
The hairball did this step of diving, but the next two steps, the hairball......
When the furball's mouth touched the river, it didn't catch anything, but fluttered on the surface of the river.
Its feathers were touched by water and could not fly, but the buoyancy of the feathers was relatively large, and as a result, the furballs could not fly and could not sink into the river, so they could only flutter on the surface of the river.
Xu Qing saw the appearance of the hairball, and directly let out a hearty laugh.
Seeing Xu Qing so happy, the black bean couple also screamed excitedly.
Unscrupulous master, unscrupulous little partner, this is the voice of the furball at this time.
I'm overboard, don't come and save me.
Xu Qing is not in a hurry to save the hairball, because the hairball will not be in danger for the time being, he wants the hairball to remember the lesson this time, don't think that they are all birds, you can catch the hairball like a seagull.
Xu Qing, who had a bad taste, also took a few photos of the hairball by the way.
When I got back to the villa, I sent these photos to the furball's f.
As the most popular animal in the world, the hairball has many fans, and presumably these photos can increase the fans of the hairball.
The fluttering movement of the furball is getting smaller and smaller, and it should be out of strength.
Xu Qing asked a bodyguard to bring the hairball back, and the hairball lay weakly on the grass.
Looking at the pitiful appearance of the furball, Xu Qing suddenly felt a little distressed, so he went back to the villa first and dried the water on the feathers of the furball.
Back at the villa, Xu Qing found a hair dryer, dried the hairball, and gave some melon seeds to comfort it, and became lively again.
In the afternoon, Xu Qing came to the town government, and Mayor Rick warmly received Xu Qing.
Rick told Xu Qing about the operation of Prologis Airport, and at present, Prologis Airport is still losing money.
The airport is mainly used by farmers and their families, as well as tourists, and farm workers don't get on a plane a few times a year.
The products of the farm are also rarely transported by air, and the agricultural and animal husbandry products are basically low-value, heavy, and meat products such as grain, cattle and sheep cannot be transported by air.
Rick felt that Ambow Airport couldn't keep losing money and had to find a way to make a profit.
Tourists are a good way, Ambo town has good tourism resources, if you can attract many tourists to Ambo town, then the number of passengers at Ambo Airport will inevitably increase a lot, then it is very likely to be profitable.
Xu Qing supported Rick's idea of developing the town's tourism resources, and said that Carney Farm was willing to take the lead in opening some tourism projects.
Rick is very happy with Xu Qing's support, and with Xu Qing's support, the resistance to the implementation of this idea will be greatly reduced.
And with Xu Qing's fame, when he was developing, he only needed to mention that Ambo Town was Xu Qing's birthplace, and Xu Qing owned a big farm in Ambo Town, so many people would come to Ambo Town.
After talking about the Ambo Airport, Xu Qing asked Rick how much land he could sell in Ambo Town at present.
Rick's face was embarrassed, the land that could be sold in Ambo Town was basically sold, after all, the quality of the land in Ambo Town was relatively high.
At present, the area of land available for sale in Ambo is more than 300 acres, or less than 2 square kilometers.
There wasn't much land that the town government could sell, and Xu Qing asked how many farmers were selling their land.
Rick was well aware of this information, as farmers had to inform the town government when they sold their land.
Immediately told Xu Qing that there are currently 8 farmers in Ambo Township who are selling land, adding up to 23,000 acres of land.
Xu Qing is in pain again, even if he buys all the 23,000 acres of land, plus the area of Carney's farm, it is only more than 90,000 acres, which has not reached the 100,000 acres that his grandfather said, let alone Xu Qing's 200,000 acres.
After thinking about it for a while, Xu Qing asked Rick to send a message to all the farmers in Ambo Town, saying that Xu Qing wanted to buy land, and the price was very rich, and those who were interested should go to the meeting hall of the town government at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning.
Rick has the contact information of hundreds of farmers in Ambo Town, and he is happy to send messages to all farmers on Xu Qing's behalf.
It's just a gesture, as long as he can make Xu Qing happy, donate money or support the policies he has formulated in Ambo Town, then he will be crazy with joy.
Although Xu Qing was not in Ambo Town for most of the year, with Xu Qing's power, the status of Carney Farm in Ambo Town, and the influence of Xu Qing and the Xu family on Ambo Town was incomparable.
He, the mayor of the town, has no influence on Ambo Town, which is no match for Xu Qing and the Xu family.
The United States is a capitalist society, and the power of capital is still strong in Ambo, a town with several billionaires and more than 10 multimillionaires.
Xu Qing is now the representative of big capital.
After chatting about things, Xu Qing and Rick went to inspect Ambo Airport, and after Xu Qing got off the plane yesterday, he hadn't seriously looked at Ambo Airport.
At present, the routes opened by Ambow Airport are all domestic routes in the United States, and international routes cannot be opened, and the hardware facilities are not up to standard.
Moreover, Prologis Airport now has very little domestic passenger volume, and does not consider the issue of international passenger volume at all.
If one day Ambo Town can become a world-renowned tourist destination, and the tourists are overflowing, it is not too late to upgrade the hardware facilities.
The facilities at Ambo Airport are very standard, there is no room for cutting corners, and it seems that tens of millions of dollars have been spent where they should be.
This is not surprising, Ambo Airport was built with funds from dozens of farmers, and if Rick and they dared to embezzle, even if Xu Qing didn't make a move, dozens of other farmers would tear Rick and them apart.
After inspecting Ambo Airport, it was almost lunchtime, and Xu Qingwan declined Rick's invitation to lunch and returned to Carney Farm.
Lunch has been prepared, and Xu Qing will start the meal when he comes back, which is really beautiful.
