Zhongzhou International Airport is the only civil airport in Holo Province, which was completed and opened to traffic in 1997 and is one of the largest regional hub airports in China.

After the completion of Zhongzhou International Airport, Cao Dahua's Cao family is responsible for a series of operations such as related infrastructure and investment promotion.

In the more than two years since the Cao family took over, the operation of Zhongzhou International Airport has been not good, the Cao family has fallen into a heavy quagmire, almost dragged down, and countless local small and medium-sized suppliers in Zhongzhou City have fallen on this "internationalization" project.

The whole journey from Zhongzhou City to the airport is about 50 kilometers, and the airport highway has been built, and the airport bus composed of five medium-sized buses has also been opened, with a ticket price of 20 yuan / person.

In order to build the "star" project of the airport, in addition to applying for state funding, Heluo Province has devoted almost all the efforts of the whole province to spend a lot of manpower, material and financial resources, and finally built Zhongzhou International Airport into a civil airport with first-class standards in China.

It's just that the construction of the airport has cost countless municipal construction funds, resulting in the next Zhongzhou municipal government being overstretched, and the supporting facilities of the airport are insufficient and powerless.

In desperation, the city government had no choice but to conduct a public tender, and the Cao family finally won the right to operate the project, including some infrastructure projects.

In the two years since the Cao family took over, the country's economy has been developing for the better, the people's income level has been rising, and hundreds of millions of yuan have been invested in infrastructure construction, but somehow, there has been no significant change in the passenger flow of the airport.

With the small flow of passengers, it is difficult for shops to attract investment, which leads to most of the airport's catering, accommodation and other projects being half-dead.

A large number of shops have been vacant for a long time, and the businesses that have settled in are also operating dismally, and it is still difficult to maintain a balance of payments, let alone make a profit.

The "rotten project" of the airport has long been notorious, and if you want to sublease it, you can't find a pick-up man, so you can only hang it for a day......

The Cao family is also very anxious, they won the right to operate Zhongzhou International Airport for 20 years, and according to the contract, they have to hand over huge amounts of money to Zhongzhou City every year, and it has only been two years, and the Cao family has put in more than 100 million!

No matter how strong the family foundation is, it can't withstand such a toss, not to mention that the Cao family has a big business, and there are too many places to spend money, so it is impossible to cut all other projects and fully support the construction of the airport......

Su Qingzhi figured out the cause and effect, and said: "The crux of the problem lies in people, as long as there are more people who go to take the plane, even the surrounding businesses will naturally become popular." ”

Cao Dahua snorted coldly: "Even fools know this truth, the key is how to let people take planes? Compared with buses and trains, planes do not have any advantages in price, plus there are more than 100 miles from the city to the airport, the number of airport buses is limited, it is inconvenient to go back and forth, a lot of time is wasted on the way, and the only speed advantage is not obvious." ”

Chen Youliang smiled faintly and said, "The trouble now is that rich people don't care about the distance from the airport to the city because they have a car." For this group of people, time is money, and in order to save time, they choose to travel by plane, and they are also the new force of the airport. ”

"People who don't have money won't fly, even if you're only a step away from the city, because it's too expensive for them to afford. ”

"Aside from those two categories, it's the middle class that we have to fight for, who can afford to fly and get off the train. In fact, there are many such people, and they are the main force of consumption. ”

Cao Dahua rolled his eyes: "What you say is, everyone can tell the truth, the key is how to make these middle-class people more inclined to travel by plane?"

Chen Zhanfei nodded and said: "Our province is a province with a large population, the base of the middle class is not small, and the ticket price of China Airlines is the lowest in China, but why are they reluctant to take a plane?"

Cao Dahua saw that everyone was staring at him, let out a sigh, and said in a rather irritable mood: "Lao Tzu sent people to do market research, and a considerable number of people reported that there are two bus stops in the city to the airport, and there are strict time restrictions, so they feel that it is not very convenient......

Chen Zhanfei asked: "Then why don't you set up a few more docking points? Send a few more cars to pick up and drop off 24 hours a day." ”

Cao Dahua said angrily: "Have you calculated the cost here? Our airport buses here are not profitable, and the cost of purchasing vehicles, fuel, maintenance, highway fees, various insurances, and the wages of the drivers and conductors ......."

"Count down one by one, if you don't know how expensive firewood, rice, oil and salt are, a car will lose more than 1,000 times a day. ”

"Now there are 10 buses to and from the airport, and we have to lose more than 10,000 yuan a day, or more than 300,000 yuan a month. ”

Chen Youliang said with a smile: "Fatty, the account is not calculated like this, the money lost by the bus can be made up from the price of airport catering, accommodation, air tickets, etc., and a series of operations should be calculated, there should be a profit." ”

Cao Dahua sighed: "Speaking of which, Lao Tzu is not afraid of your jokes, with the current flow of people at the airport, for every time we receive a guest, our family will have to pay nearly 100 yuan......"

When everyone heard this, they all looked incredulous.

One is a hundred, ten is a thousand, a hundred is ten thousand, a thousand is a thousand, and a thousand is a hundred thousand...... This is true for 365 days a year, and the rate at which money is burned is terrifying.

It is no secret in the circle that the project of Zhongzhou International Airport is not profitable, but no one thought that this project is not only not profitable, but also a bottomless pit of dissatisfaction!

If what Cao Fatzi said is true, if it goes on like this, let alone the Cao family, even if the country stands up to the bottom, it can't bear this speed of burning money.

When everyone was immersed in shock, Su Qingzhi said: "That's not how the account is calculated, now the loss of money is because there are too few passengers, resulting in an increase in operating costs, if thousands of passengers are added every day, will it still lose money?"

Cao Dahua said: "I have calculated that on the basis of the current passenger flow, adding 5,000 passengers a day, counting all kinds of income at the airport, I can basically break even, and more than 5,000 should be profitable." ”

"Five thousand,"

Everyone talked about it, "Although it's not too much, but it's a lot, how is it possible to find so many people to go to the airport every day to take a plane?"

Cao Dahua hung his head and said: "The difficulty is here, it's not that I am not capable enough, fat brother, but at present, this matter can't be done at all!"

Everyone felt sorry for Cao Dahua, he came to Zhongzhou City this time with a special mission, and if he didn't succeed, he would become a benevolent.

It's a pity that after all, there is no way to return to the sky, after this incident, the huge China may no longer be able to tolerate Cao Dahua.

Chen Youliang saw Su Qingzhi touching his chin and pondering, and asked, "What, is it possible that you really have any way?"

When everyone heard this, their eyes focused on Su Qingzhi again, and their faces were not good.

None of the people present were well-informed, and they had been thinking about this since the operation of Zhongzhou International Airport, and finally came to the unanimous conclusion that there was no solution to this problem.

In addition to them, the Cao family doesn't know how many experts and scholars have been invited to investigate and demonstrate, but they have not found a solution to the problem.

Su Qingzhi said under the gaze of everyone: "Solution, I think of one." ”

Cao Dahua sneered: "The way you think of is not to throw money into it regardless of the cost, right?"

Su Qingzhi shook his head: "You don't have to spend a penny, I will help you sell 10,000 more plane tickets every day......"
