Chapter 1303: What a Disaster!
At Diwobun Airport, a Boeing 747-8 airliner is landing. More than 400 passengers from the magic capital were on board www.biquge.info this passenger plane, all of whom were organized by travel agencies to come to Wushi to enjoy the customs of the northwest.
"When we arrive in Wushi, we must try the authentic folk snacks here. Kebabs, naan, ramen, pilaf, the food here is very different from the mainland, and the prices are cheap. I'm sure you'll love it. ”
The tour guide of the travel agency held a small flag and led dozens or hundreds of tourists to board the bus while publicizing. And Poroshenko, who passed by the bus, attracted a lot of attention with his tall body and handsome pilot's uniform.
Poroshenko greeted the tourists with a smile and walked slowly into the staff lounge at the airport. There were also a few companions in the lounge, who greeted him as soon as they met.
"Hey, man." An old foreigner in the lounge, also dressed as a pilot, stretched out his hand to Poroshenko and said in Russian: "I'm Andrey, the new guy." ”
Poroshenko reported his name and smiled: "I haven't been here for long. ”
"I heard that you are also Ukrainian?"
"Yes."
"Me too, I'm so glad I was able to get out of that hell. If I don't leave, the council bastards will be forcing me to fly a fighter jet at gunpoint. ”
The two Ukrainian pilots sat in the lounge and chatted, sighing when they talked about the state of their country. Ermao has been made a mess by populists, politicians, public knowledge and other miscellaneous things in recent years, pinching his nose to show the world that democracy is a fart.
At that time, the legacy of the Soviets had been exhausted, the West was treacherous and refused to help, and Da Mao suppressed it vigorously, and the Ermao family was really a little miserable for the people.
The scale of the Russian-Ukrainian war is getting bigger and bigger, and who knows where there have been extremely tragic but high-level tank battles? No one knows! The Western media would rather pay attention to the rookies in the Middle East pecking each other than bother to care about the bloody fighting in Ukraine.
Poroshenko is a pilot recently recruited by Xinjiang Airlines, and his salary is not very high, but he is better than escaping the fire pit. It's too painful to talk about the motherland, but his new life in Wushi makes him talk about it very much.
"Andrey, do you see those airliners that keep landing? Hundreds, hundreds, of passengers keep coming in from other parts of the country because our company offers extremely cheap airfares. To be honest, the low ticket price is incredible! ”
Poroshenko lamented that it was the large number of tourists he saw when he entered the airport, that since the ticket price of Xinjiang Airlines had been cut in half, the tourism industry in Ukraine had suddenly exploded -- because the ticket price was so cheap.
In recent years, the price of oil has been low, and the most expensive ticket price from Modu to Wushi is only a little more than a thousand, and the cheapest is only six or seven hundred. And Singapore Airlines cut the ticket price in half again, which is simply cheap. Such a cheap fee, coupled with the government's guidance, has doubled the number of people from the mainland who come to the northwest to visit.
The leaders of Wuhan City originally thought that they were losing money and making money, and that the political tasks arranged by the superiors must be completed, and all the losses had to be recognized by pinching their noses. Unexpectedly, after the restructuring, Singapore Airlines has brought unexpected gains, and the surge in tourism has made the city's tax revenue rise.
If the security situation in the Northwest can be greatly improved, low-cost airfares could even be a good way to boost the economy.
"But how on earth did our company manage to make the ticket price so cheap?" Andrei was also puzzled.
"There seems to be a government subsidy." Poroshenko said.
Yes, most people attribute SIA's low fares to government subsidies. But in fact, on the contrary, the company's chairman Lin refused the government subsidy. He said the government had no need to worry about him losing money.
But everyone thinks that their boss is deceiving the ghost - you make the ticket price so cheap, and you will die without government subsidies.
In fact, Zhou Qingfeng really doesn't lose, he still has to earn. The reasons for this are manifold. The airline's expenses consist of three parts, the cost of aircraft procurement, the cost of fuel, and the cost of personnel and maintenance. Among them, aircraft and fuel are the big heads.
Of the 15 large passenger planes that Zhou Qingfeng bought, 12 were eventually converted into cargo planes, and three were eventually used for passenger transport after repairs. Among them, the price of the new Boeing 747-8 is 350 million ......, US dollars.
But this huge amount of money, which occupies the absolute majority, is zero here in Singapore Airlines. This eliminates significant depreciation costs.
The fuel is supplied at cost price by petrochemical enterprises in Wushi. In oil-rich countries, such as Venezuela, gasoline is cheaper than water, resulting in a great deal of waste. Although the jet fuel in Wushi is not as cheap as water, it has caused the fuel cost of Singapore Airlines to plummet.
The remaining labor and maintenance costs are relatively low, and Zhou Qingfeng even offers a high salary in order to poach people, but the operating costs of the entire Singapore Airlines are only a fraction of that of other airlines. Singapore Airlines' fares have been cut in half, and its profits are even higher than those of other airlines.
If it weren't for the fact that there are still too few large long-range passenger planes of Singapore Airlines, others would have given up their routes to the northwest.
In this case, it is not that no one complains, but the complaints can only be said in private. Whoever dares to say it openly is looking for death.
Even the Great Elder said that 'Lin Sen is a good comrade', and others saw that he had no choice but to walk around, and there was no way at all-you dare to say that Lin Sen maliciously disrupted the market? Believe it or not, Guoan will take you to tea immediately, the navy, land and air forces have taken you under dictatorship, and the central leadership will only say that you have done a good job!
Now fools understand that Lin Sen's background is very deep, very deep, unfathomable!
"Our boss's low price policy will exhaust us all to death." Poroshenko constantly lamented in the lounge. After he came to Singapore Airlines, he drove a freighter, except for normal rest, it was a continuous rotation. All large cargo planes have been flying except for necessary maintenance, and they have not changed people, not for a moment.
"It is said that the vendors in this city are dying of joy." Andre just came, but he also listened to the story full of stomachs, "This country's e-commerce used to be free shipping in the northwest, but now as long as the value of the goods reaches a certain level, it is even free of postage." It's scary, isn't it? ”
Andrei is older and used to fly planes in Russia. Compared with the delivery time of the rabbit family in 'days', the efficiency of Russian Post express delivery is calculated in 'months'. And in terms of cost, it is a miracle that thousands of kilometers of air cargo actually cut the cost by half.
In the past, the cost of express delivery in Xinjiang was extremely high, and sometimes the value of the goods was not as good as the express delivery money. If the value of the goods is low, the courier fee will be halved; If the value of the goods is high, it will simply be exempted.
As a result, the transaction volume of various e-commerce companies in the entire city has soared, and now some people actually use planes to transport hundreds of tons of cantaloupe to the mainland, and the converted price is cheaper than buying it in the supermarket.
A large number of agricultural products from Xinjiang are being sold to Xinjiang, and goods from the same coastal areas are also being shipped to Xinjiang in large quantities. All kinds of seafood will be flown to Wushi by air, and the price will not be ridiculously expensive. This is a situation that benefits many parties.
As soon as SIA's more than a dozen freighters hit the market, the schedule was almost immediately a few months away. Because its cost and timeliness are too prominent, no one can compare. However, this is only the beginning, and the entire aviation community thinks that this situation of low-price dumping is unsustainable.
This should be just the resumption of SIA's independent operation, and it is a low-price strategy played by Chairman Lin in the hope of seizing the market. It's not going to last, it's definitely not going to last, it's definitely not going to last.
Just when everyone thought that the big star Lin Sen was just playing a gimmick to let Singapore Airlines grab a few headlines, Uncle Zhou made a satellite call to Xiao Jinlang for help at a broken airport in Mongolia, "Old Xiao, I got another fifty large planes." Please send someone to help open it! ”
What a disaster!
