362、The Game of East Asian Cities (Today's 4th Watch Ends, Tomorrow's 10,000th Watch Begins)
At 9 a.m. the next day, the general meeting of the general meeting of the airline was held on time at the aviation building in Addis Ababa, which is the regular meeting of the airline every six months.
The general meeting of shareholders has a lot of topics, including the announcement of relevant policies, the review of the business report submitted by the board of directors, the discussion of the issue of opening up new routes, and the formation of a final resolution.
The first two items didn't take much time, and ended in less than an hour, and after a ten-minute break, the shareholders walked into the conference room again.
The first to discuss the issue of international routes for large passenger aircraft, Egyptair has introduced 7 new aircraft, including 5 large passenger aircraft and 2 737 medium passenger aircraft.
The latest version of the Boeing 787 is the largest aircraft model, which can fly across continents with a maximum range of 13,000 km, which means that most countries around the world can be reached from Addis Ababa.
There are 7 alternate airports on 5 routes, namely Imperial Capital, Modu, Seoul, Tokyo, New York, Lundu, and Paris.
Before the meeting, more than 20 major shareholders formed three forces, one is the local force represented by the local entrepreneur Babatu in Addis Ababa, the other is the Western capital force represented by Mills, a native of the United States, and the East Asian force represented by the capital injection of the Yaqi consortium in the stick country.
First of all, Mills spoke on behalf of Western capital forces, according to their concept, Ethiopian Airlines wants to develop rapidly, it must form a seamless connection with the central hub cities of the West, and the specific way to connect this seamless connection is to speed up traffic communication, for this reason, Mills suggested that the three Western metropolises must add routes, as for the other two routes, Mills's choice is Seoul and Tokyo, in their view, Seoul and Tokyo, the two super international metropolises in East Asia, are the symbols of East Asia and even Asia, and the stick countries and island countries are developed countries, and in recent years, they have invested a lot overseasTherefore, he suggested that the opening points of these two routes should be Seoul and Tokyo respectively.
Next to the stage was Mr. Park Myung-chang, the marketing director of the Yaqi consortium, who had a typical Korean stick face, and according to his concept, Seoul naturally bore the brunt, followed by his suggestion to consider the magic capital and the three major cities in the West.
The last to take the stage was Babatu, who, according to Mr. Franlo, had studied abroad in China and had a natural affinity for the Chinese.
Sure enough, Babatu's choice is the three major cities in the West and the imperial capital and magic capital of China, as for why two cities in China were shortlisted at once, Babatu's explanation is that in recent years, Huaxia has firmly occupied the superpower status of the world's second largest economy, and the Chinese people provide more jobs in Ethiopia than other countries combined, and for such a superpower, it is natural to strengthen cooperation.
Hundreds of shareholders in the audience sat in the audience and watched with great interest the contest of the three major shareholders, waiting for the three major forces to finish the statement, everyone found that in fact, the three major cities in the West have been decided, and now it has become a game in the East Asian aviation industry.
At this time, it was also lunch time at 12 o'clock at noon, and according to the usual practice, the presiding officer announced the adjournment and rest, and the meeting was scheduled to resume at half past one in the afternoon.
After basically sitting in the huge conference room for a whole morning, Yang Tianlong felt that he had not had such a long meeting for a long time, so after more than three hours, he couldn't help but feel uncomfortable.
Franlo didn't seem to have much to feel, and during the lunch meal, he told Yang Tianlong that when he used to be a videographer for the Animal Channel, he used to stay motionless in the grass or woods for long periods of time.
"It turns out that the animal world we have seen before was filmed like this?" After listening to Franlo's narration, Yang Tianlong's face suddenly realized.
"Yes, animals are very sensitive, and the slightest hint of wind and grass can scare them. But now it's better, all kinds of high-definition camera equipment, videographers don't have to stay motionless like a wooden man for half a day like we used to. ”
"You're amazing. Yang Tianlong couldn't help but give a thumbs up.
"Haha, it used to be pure love, otherwise I wouldn't have insisted on it for several years, I remember more than 20 years ago in the Amazon rainforest in order to shoot a python, I dared to go down to the river to shoot, and the closest distance to the python was only about one meter, at that time our producer had to let me sit in a special box to shoot, the box is a one-meter cube, squatting in it is not good to shoot at all, so I rejected his kindness at the time, and jumped down alone, now in retrospect, my courage is really not ordinary。 Franlo couldn't help but smile as he spoke.
When he heard his father-in-law mention it, Yang Tianlong instantly thought of Eva and the immortal grass that Eva said.
"Then have you ever heard of an undead grass in the Amazon rainforest?" Yang Tianlong asked suddenly.
"The blood orchid in the Python Plague? I remember that the film seems to have been shot on the island of Borneo in Indonesia, and the background should be Indonesia. ”
"Indonesia?" Yang Tianlong couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then he smiled a little embarrassedly, it turned out that he had always thought that the film Looking for Blood Orchid was still filmed in the Amazon rainforest, but he didn't expect it to be filmed in Indonesia.
"Yes, Indonesia, a friend of mine is the cinematographer of Louis Rocha, the director of this film. Franlo smiled.
"I always thought it was still on Amazon. Yang Tianlong looked embarrassed.
"I don't remember the undead grass you said very clearly, because there were many primitive tribes in the Amazon rainforest at that time, and we couldn't understand what they said at all, so we rarely dealt with them, but Ace, the royal cameraman, I remember that he went into the rainforest to make that film, and stayed in it for many months. Franlo laughed.
Seeing that Mr. Franlo didn't know if there was such a legend or story, Yang Tianlong also stopped asking, and after finishing the meal with him, seeing that there were still more than twenty minutes left, the two walked unhurriedly towards the door of the conference room.
"Mr. Mills, why do you choose the stick country and the island country in the two East Asian cities?" As soon as they walked to the corner of the conference room corridor, Yang Tianlong and the others heard the voice of someone talking.
Following the voice, it turned out that in the corner of the corridor of the conference room, the big-nosed Yingguo Baker seemed to be dissatisfied with Mills's speech, "Didn't we all talk about it in advance?
The arrogant Mills glanced at Baker, and then said with an unhurried face, "Mr. Baker, we are a consortium, this consortium is not only you and me, but there are several shareholders from our super developed international, I am only an intermediary liaison, and I cannot represent the opinions of other shareholders, and when I asked for the opinions of other shareholders, they all agreed to choose Seoul and Tokyo." ”
"Then why didn't you tell me?" Baker was a little angry.
"This was my mistake, sorry. Mills said calmly.
Baker snorted coldly, "Mr. Mills, you are extremely disrespectful to the investment capital of our Yingguo people by doing this, I'm sorry, I don't want to cooperate with you for the time being at the next shareholders' meeting." ”
At this moment, another short and fat white man walked over, this guy had been listening to the conversation between Mills and Baker just now, and seeing that Baker was a little angry, he couldn't help but hurry forward.
"Mr. Baker, don't be angry, you know the urine nature of the Chinese people, they are like flies, if we really open more doors to them in Addis Ababa, their ability to steal is very strong, lower profits, thinner costs are the result that you and I definitely don't want to see, in that case, I dare to guarantee that you and I will suffer losses." ”
Baker shook his head, not listening to this guy's words at all, "Mr. Carter, it is undeniable that the rise of the Chinese people is a great impact on us, but as a person who dares to fight, I think it is the best choice to advance bravely in the torrent, and conformism is just a sign of cowardice." ”
After saying that, Baker flicked his sleeves away angrily, leaving behind Mills and Carter, two guys who looked at each other.
