Chapter 902: Pilot
Regarding the discussion between the prince and the princess, Gu Xiu naturally didn't hear it, but for Gu Xiu, it didn't matter whether he heard it or not.
After all.
We are here from the future.
Since he has been thinking of killing three birds with one stone from the beginning, he is naturally accurate, and this time he will definitely be able to contact the royal family.
And his target is Prince Joan!
What's more important is that Gu Xiu is very clear.
Don't worry about it.
It's the other party who is in a hurry.
Because Gu Xiu had seen some reports about this prince in his previous life, except for giving up his heirship for his wife and the sudden avalanche.
This Prince of Yoan also has another identity, which does not seem to be so dazzling.
Partner of Eastern Europe's largest low-cost airline, Ryanair!
As a prince.
Even if he has given up the right to inherit the throne, even if he has fallen out with the high-ranking queen, the prince is still a prince after all.
Like this low-key but luxurious estate, Joan has something about his identity.
Like what.
He owns an airline called BUZZ.
This airline is actually a very small port company, which is under the umbrella of Helan Royal Airlines.
But.
Although there is such an airline, in fact, Yoan does not make any money through this company.
Even.
Losing money every year.
It can't be helped, since the incident on September 11, the entire airline industry began to fall into a downturn, and after finally taking a breath, oil prices began to rise again.
As a direct result, many airlines are struggling to make ends meet.
In such a situation.
Naturally, it is also a major reshuffle in the aviation industry, with large companies that are large enough and with sufficient funds to start acquiring small airlines.
It can be regarded as a consolidation of the aviation industry.
And unfortunately.
The airline BUZZ, in this case, is in an extremely awkward situation.
Let's say this company can't do it.
In fact, it's okay, although it's just a small company, but after all, it is backed by Dutch Royal Airlines, with a very strong background and sufficient financial strength.
Even if the income is declining, there is nothing to be afraid of.
Partially.
Joan is at odds with the Queen, and he can't get BUZZ to get more money from Royal Airlines.
Now there are only two options for him.
The first is to accept the investment, dilute the shares in your hands, and win the opportunity for the company to survive the winter.
The second is to accept the acquisition and sell the company directly for cash.
For both options.
Prince Yoan and his wife are actually more inclined to the former, after all, although the life of BUZZ Airlines is not easy these days, with the current route of BUZZ and the convenience of belonging to Royal Airlines.
In fact, as long as you can hold on.
Run well.
BUZZ actually has a high probability of being able to turn the tables and even bring a lot of benefits to the couple.
But alas.
It's not in this world, if you want to attract investment, you will definitely be able to pull it.
Now Prince Yoan and his wife have actually hit a wall for this matter.
The big international investment banks either already own the shares of world-class airlines, or they are not interested in this aspect at all, and it is difficult to attract investment.
Helan has a lot of capital in the country, and there are many people who are willing to invest, if it is in normal times, as long as Prince Yoan speaks, many people will immediately come to him with money.
Can......
Because the relationship between Prince John and Her Majesty the Queen is now at a freezing point, these investors who originally liked to sell him a face and cooperate with the royal family.
also began to distribute closed-door soups one after another.
In this case.
Prince Joan was embarrassed.
If he wants the company to survive, he wants to continue to invest money, but he can't come up with so much money for a while, which means that the company may explode at any time.
I don't want to explode.
Then there is only the second option.
Prostitution!
But there's another problem.
In fact, although BUZZ Airlines is only a small company under Royal Airlines, it is not bad in terms of routes and equipment, and if you sell it normally, the price is not bad, at least we can make some money.
But that's no longer the case.
With the overall aviation environment not good, coupled with the fact that oil prices are starting to rise, countless airlines have gone bankrupt in this situation.
Naturally, the acquisition is not charity, and the price will definitely be depressed.
For now.
As of now, BUZZ Airlines has actually received a lot of acquisition intentions.
But.
Most of them are going to die to lower the price, and those who are a little more conscientious can make him earn a little less, and some of them are even a little less likely to ensure that he doesn't lose much.
They are all a group of lords who take advantage of the fire to rob.
Prince Yoan and his wife discussed it again and again, in fact, they were already inclined to sell themselves, and their targets had already been chosen, but because of Gu Xiu's appearance, they felt that they had one last chance left.
And Gu Xiu, who understands these, naturally sits firmly on the Diaoyutai.
It was the prince, not him, who should be in a hurry.
This is indeed the case.
When Gu Xiu gradually became the target of everyone's attention during the banquet, Prince Yoan and his wife were a little breathless.
Especially when seen.
Gu Xiu and an executive of Helan Royal Airlines were even more heartbroken when they stood together and chatted happily.
Finally.
Seeing that the conversation between Gu Xiu and the executive of the airline was over, Prince Yoan walked over as soon as possible:
"What were you talking about, like you were having a good time?"
"Oh, we just talked about airplanes, and I asked if I can get a pilot's license at my age." Gu Xiu replied casually.
"Oh? Do you want to fly a plane? Yoan's eyes lit up, he was still thinking about how to bring the topic to the airline naturally, but he didn't expect Gu Xiu to take the initiative to bring it up.
"Human beings always have the yearning to fly to the sky and swim in the sky, and I am the same." Gu Xiu nodded, and then felt a little helpless:
"But unfortunately, my age and height are not up to standard, and I can't get this license yet."
Hearing this, Joan looked at Gu Xiu, and then smiled:
"It can't be helped."
"Operating an airplane requires physical conditions such as body height, leg length, hearing, and eyesight, otherwise it is easy to have accidents."
"After all, although the accident rate of aircraft is not high, once it occurs, it is the most serious accident."
Speaking of this, Yoan looked at the regret in Gu Xiu's eyes, and immediately changed his words:
"Of course."
"If you're interested, I happen to have an airline that also has a couple of training planes for beginners."
"There's no way to get you a pilot's license, but it's not a problem for you to learn how to fly an airplane."
As soon as these words came out.
Gu Xiu's eyes suddenly lit up: "Really, can I learn to fly an airplane?" ”
"Of course my friend, you may not know, but I also have a pilot instructor qualification, if you are interested, I can teach you."
"Wow, that's great, when can we go?"
"If you want, we'll be there tomorrow morning!"
"Awesome, my friend!"
Looking at Gu Xiu's excited face, Prince Yoan couldn't help but smile on his face, and glanced back at his wife looking this way.
Immediately gestured to her with an OK gesture.
See this gesture.
Mabel smiled.
But what the two of them didn't notice was that the innocent Gu Xiu couldn't help but pout, and then sighed.
Led.
It's hard......
