Chapter 324: Conversion of Passengers to Goods
When he returned in the afternoon, Wang Dajiang was still talking about how the veal on Taitung Street was really delicious. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Can it not be delicious?
9 people asked for 10 plates of beef, and the other signature dishes were also asked for three or two portions, and even the owner of the store was shocked and came out to toast.
This meal wasted almost 1,000 yuan for Sun Tao, which made Wang Dajiang very unhappy, because most of the things were eaten by his own teammates.
Of course, Wang Dajiang did not eat less.
When the group returned to Quancheng, it was half past four in the afternoon.
Mu Dong met Ai Dongqiang, who had been waiting in the office. He brought good news to Mudong that the Civil Aviation Authority approved the application for the establishment of Great Eastern Airlines.
This is really very good news, you know, Ai Dongqiang has now pulled out a team of nearly 20 people, and there are 4 pilots in place alone, and about six or seven people have basically determined their intentions. With such a large team, they are burning money every day, and Mu Dong is also faintly painful.
"Great!" Mu Dong said: "Mr. Ai, can we buy an airplane now and start operation?"
Ai Dongqiang was drinking water, and when he heard the words, he choked and coughed.
After stabilizing his breath, Ai Dongqiang said helplessly: "Mu Dong, the approval of the establishment is only the first step, and there are many procedures ahead." However, the most difficult time has passed, and there is a fast lane behind it, and I plan to try to complete the registration procedures in a month, but now, there are some things that can start to operate, one is that the construction of Lunan base airport can be launched, and the other is that the procurement of cargo aircraft can be carried out. In this way, after the company registration is completed, we can apply to the Civil Aviation Authority for aircraft registration and quickly realize operation. ”
Mu Dong said: "I thought it was all done now." Okay, you can start this work as soon as possible. At Lunan Airport, didn't a special architectural design company be commissioned? The design plan should be almost out, right?"
Ai Dongqiang said: "I asked, said that it can be completed in about a week, our is a freight hub, and it is not required to be good-looking, it is practical, and the design is relatively simple." Mr. Mu, we will be responsible for supervising the construction of Lunan Airport, I want to discuss with you about the aircraft, what tonnage do we buy?"
Mu Dong thought for a while and said: "In terms of tonnage, it is best to buy medium or large, Mr. Ai, my idea is that we must ensure that our equipment will not lag behind in 5 to 10 years." ”
Ai Dongqiang said: "Mr. Mu, I consulted the freight supervisor Tan Sanjie before I came, I want to arrange this way, in the early stage of airline operation, in two batches of purchase of five second-hand Boeing 737-300 narrow-body freighters, so that the aircraft delivery time is short, the investment is also small, and enough to meet the freight needs of the early stage of the formation of the national network of Dadong Express." A batch of Boeing 767-300 wide-body freighters was ordered at the same time, and with the improvement of our company's express network and the increase in cargo volume, these 767-300 freighters will be delivered in time to meet the new growth in freight demand. ”
Mu Dong said: "Yes, just follow this plan." Mr. Ai, what kind of 767 did we order, it is a new plane, not second-hand, right?"
Ai Dongqiang suddenly became very embarrassed, he didn't know how to explain the situation to Mu Dong. Let's say, I'm afraid that Mu Dong will be embarrassed. Don't say it, Mu Dong is still waiting for an answer.
He had no choice but to bite the bullet and say: "Mr. Mu, strictly speaking, all Boeing cargo planes on the market are second-hand, and they are all modified after the retirement of passenger aircraft. ”
"What?" Mu Dong blushed.
Damn, shame on you!
Ai Dongqiang hurriedly said: "Mr. Mu, this situation is not a person in the aviation field, and I really don't know." The average large aircraft has a service life of up to 30 to 40 years, and after 15 to 20 years of service in the field of civil aviation passenger transportation, in the case of aging cabin equipment and the impact of new models on the market, aircraft manufacturers will recycle passenger aircraft, start the passenger-to-cargo project, and continue to serve for 15 to 20 years after removing cabin seats and other equipment and changing it to an all-cargo aircraft. For example, the 767-300 we just talked about, the first passenger aircraft was delivered in 1986, and now it has just begun to enter the period of large-scale passenger-to-freighter conversion. ”
Mu Dong felt a little more comfortable in his heart, and asked curiously: "Then what do you mean by second-hand and ordering just now, I think they are all second-hand!"
Ai Dong scratched his head and said: "If you buy an aircraft from an aircraft manufacturer, you will order it, and if you buy a cargo plane from other intermediaries or other airlines, it will be second-hand." ”
Mu Dong was speechless for a while. In my emotional memory, those express companies vigorously publicized how many cargo planes they bought, and they were all converted from passengers to cargo! Not to mention that there was also a series of financial leasing businesses, which was enough for those express companies to buy a lot of planes with very little money.
I, Mu Dong, am a rich man, and I don't engage in financial leasing, roar!
Ai Dongqiang and Mu Dong discussed some other affairs of the airline, and then got up to leave.
Boss Mu also walked out of the embarrassment of losing face, and comforted himself, it's not a big deal, everyone has knowledge blind spots!
This mentality, this cheek, are very strong!
Tang Miya and Cui Zhe then came in and talked about donating air conditioners to nursing homes in suburban towns and towns and sponsoring the first batch of seven children with cleft palate who were in urgent need of surgery.
Mu Dong smiled: "It looks like you two are working well together, Mia, why don't you rest for a few more days?
Tang Miya smiled: "The stitches have been removed a long time ago, and I have tattooed all the peony flowers." ”
Saying that, Tang Miya stroked his short sleeves up, and said proudly: "How is it? pretty, this is still your creativity." ”
Mu Dong looked up, and on Tang Miya's white left shoulder, there was a gorgeous peony flower the size of an orange.
Mu Dong blushed again all of a sudden, this Tang Miya is too ...... What's the matter!
Seeing Mu Dong's face flushed, Tang Miya and Cui Zhe laughed.
Mu Dong said angrily: "Hurry up and get down to business, I'm still in a hurry to get off work." ”
When Mu Dong got home, it was almost 6 o'clock, but Xin'er was not in the nursery. It turned out that Xiao Xiao laid a plastic mat in the greenhouse, and Xin'er crawled on the ground to play. The wide ground can be much larger than the area of the bed, and the little guy rushes left and right, and has a lot of fun.
Mu Dong stretched out his hand to hug it, but the little princess was very arrogant, so she dodged it directly, and crawled to the side, the speed was quite fast.
Early the next morning, Mu Dong took a plane to Guangzhou to participate in the Spring Fair, today is the first day of the home furnishing exhibition, Mu Dong, the big boss, did not show up, it is really a bit unreasonable, Zhao Ran has called several times.
Mu Dong only brought Fang Jiandong and Wang Dajiang on this business trip, he didn't want to make it too exciting, he always felt that it was too public. Even if he went to the island city to support Wang Yan the day before yesterday, he didn't let the bodyguards in the car behind him get out of the car.
The scene of the Canton Fair was still very lively, and Mu Dong did not let Zhao Ran come to pick up the airport, but found the booth of Dadong Commerce and Trade by himself.
As an already well-known exhibitor, Dadong Commerce's booth area this time was three times larger than that of the Autumn Fair, and won a whole section of booths, with an area of more than 200 square meters and a booth fee of nearly 500,000 yuan. Coupled with personnel costs and sample costs, the total investment is not less than 800,000 yuan.
This time, there are 12 people in Dadong Commerce and Trade to show the willow weaving process on the spot, including 3 old artists, wearing neat short-sleeved Tang costumes, 9 carefully selected female artists, a water of red calico placket short-sleeved dress, and a small blue calico turban on the head. This has become a beautiful scenery in the wicker product area, surrounded by foreign businessmen who take pictures.
There are several willow weaving manufacturers, modeled after the creativity of Dadong Trade at last year's autumn fair, and found a few rustic old men to weave at the booth, and now it seems that this idea is outdated.
Mu Dong, Wang Dajiang, and Fang Jiandong finally squeezed into the seat, and saw that Zhao Ran was chatting with a few people with foreign businessmen.
Mu Dong waved his hand and said hello, and sat down in the corner to rest.
The foreign merchant saw Mu Dong and greeted him from afar: "Oh, dear Mu, my friend, I am so happy to see you!"
Mu Dong looked up and found that it was Mr. Bernard, a European merchant from last year.
He hurriedly greeted him and said enthusiastically: "Hello, Mr. Bernard, it is a pleasure to see you again!"
Saying that, the two hugged warmly, no way, foreigners like this tune.
After that, Mu Dong asked: "Mr. Bernard, are you still satisfied with the quality of those products from last year?"
Bernard said happily: "Yes, Mu, I am very satisfied. Your company's quality control is very good, so, I came again this time, and the order I brought this time is also huge, and I hope to cooperate well with your company. ”
Mu Dong glanced at Zhao Ran and saw that she shook her head slightly, so he said: "Mr. Bernard, I told you last year that you get what you pay for, and we have proved this truth to you with practical actions. We have very high expectations for working with you, but in terms of price, we have to respect cost and labor, and more importantly, quality, so we also need to communicate well. ”
Bernard said: "Of course, Mu, I still have to go to other manufacturers to see, you are busy first." ”
Mu Dong thought it was funny, this foreigner even learned "you are busy first".
After Bernard left, Mu Dong asked Zhao Ran with a smile: "How is it, Sister Zhao, how huge is the order brought by Lao Bei this time?"
Zhao Ran said with a smile: "Lao Bei's Chinese is miscellaneous, but the order is indeed not small, about 3.5 million euros." ”
"How's that? are you sure?" asked Mudon.
"After all, we have a foundation for cooperation, and Lao Bei is very assured of our quality. As long as there are no deliberate spoilers, even if our price is a little higher, we can win this order, and now the key is to grasp this degree. Zhao Ran said.
Mu Dong thought for a while and said: "You can just take the idea of these, I just came to cheer everyone up, stay for one day at most, and I have to go back tomorrow, you know, the group company, a bunch of things." ”
"Boss Mu, Sister Zhao!" An enthusiastic female voice came, Mu Dong looked back, and remembered that it was the flight attendant he met at the Canton Fair last year, but he forgot her name.
