Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 1428 Cannibalism is Impossible

Bloemfontein Airport will eventually be handed over to the airlines, whether Jan Smolts likes it or not.

After making this decision, Yang Smolts suddenly felt relaxed. At this time, Yang Smudge suddenly discovered that Orange State still has a choice. Air Saran and Air Rhodesia are also willing to lend a helping hand.

Well, it’s not appropriate to describe it as a “helping hand”. Air Rhodesia and Nyasaran Air are both commercial companies, and the pursuit of profit is the main purpose. The conditions offered by the two companies are relatively harsh. Relatively speaking, The conditions offered by Desia Company are better, but Nyasaran Airlines is stronger.

Both Air Rhodesia and Air Nyasaland agreed to build the airport for Bloemfontein as an advance, and the cost will be gradually deducted from the dividends of the Orange State Government in the future.

As for the operating period, Nyasaland Airlines proposed 30 years, while Rhodesia Air only needed 25 years. Both companies agreed to hire Orange people as much as possible, but everything must be in line with the interests of the company. The state government of Orange and the city government of Bloemfontein cannot interfere.

If the Orange State Government accepts the conditions of Nyasaland Airlines, then 30 years later, the Orange State Government can obtain all control rights of the airport, during which the Orange State Government can still receive a steady stream of dividends, Referring to the income of Pretoria Airport, it is about 15 rand per year.

"Of course, 15 per year is just an approximation. The exact amount depends on the specific income of the airport. However, Nyasaland Air can guarantee that the minimum will not be less than [-] rand." Nyasaland Air Chen Xie, the senior operations director of the company, introduced the design drawing of Bloemfontein Airport to Yang Smotz.

The Bloemfontein Airport planned by Nyasaland Airlines has a terminal building and an air cargo terminal, two runways with a length of 900 meters, three aircraft parking areas, four parking lots, and one around the airport. series of ancillary facilities.

The design drawings of Air Rhodesia are similar to those of Nyasaland Airlines. Both companies require full operation rights of the airport and its ancillary facilities. In addition, Air Rhodesia is willing to bear part of the construction cost of the airport road.

"According to your design drawings, the total area of ​​the airport is only about 10 square kilometers. Why do you ask for 50 square kilometers?" Of course, Yang Smozi is not easy to fool. Bloemfontein Airport is about ten kilometers away from Bloemfontein City. The land value around the airport is still relatively high.

"Your Excellency Governor, you should know that the initial investment plus operating costs, plus dividends to the Orange State Government and Bloemfontein City Government, the airport hardly made any money in the first ten years of operation. The real reason why Asalam Airlines is willing to invest in Bloemfontein Airport." Chen Xie said bluntly that this method is the same as attracting private capital to build railways in southern Africa. The land within is used as a reward and given to companies or individuals who invest in the construction of railways.

Rock and Stoudemire profited handsomely in the process.

Of course, the same is true for the airport. Chen Xie is not lying. After deducting all kinds of costs, the airport has hardly made any money in the first ten years. However, because the airport is very close to the city, the land around the city is still very valuable.

"Well, make preparations in the next few days. I will invite you to Bloemfontein in a few days and let the members of the parliament make a choice." Yang Smother is certainly not stupid. He hopes that Nyasaland Airlines and Air Rhodesia can compete head-to-head so that the Orange state government can get the best benefit.

"Okay, I'll wait for your call anytime." Chen Xie was not discouraged, Yang Shimozi had his own little plans, but Chen Xie was not stupid either.

Leaving Yang Smozi's office, waiting behind Chen Xie to be interviewed by Yang Smozi was Air Rhodesia Senior Manager De Almeida.

As colleagues, Chen Xiehe de Almeida is also an old acquaintance.

When the two passed by, De Almeida gave Chen Xie a questioning look.

Chen Xie kept smiling, nodding slightly, and the secretary who sent Chen Xie out didn't notice.

Later, Chen Xie received a call from De Almeida, and the two "met unexpectedly" in a tavern.

"Our governor is really difficult. He probably regards us as philanthropists—" De Almeida complained repeatedly after meeting Chen Xie. In fact, it is understandable that everyone hopes to strive for greater benefits. .

"Then what are you going to do?" Chen Xie ordered a glass of Oak Town wine, and De Almeida ordered dark beer.

"What else can I do? Could it be that your Nyasaran Airlines will make more profits?" De Almeida sneered. So far, there are only two airlines in southern Africa, Nyasaran Air and Rhodesia Air. · Smotz doesn't really have much choice.

Considering the relationship between Rock and Stoudemire, Yang Smother's idea will probably come to naught, and Air Nyasaland and Air Rhodesia will not kill each other because of Bloemfontein Airport. It is the only way to maintain profits. Competition can exist within a certain range, but it cannot affect the fundamental interests.

And the relationship between the two airlines.

"Actually, it's not impossible. The construction cost of the airport is less, and the plane is more expensive—" Chen Xie graduated from Nyasaland University only three years ago, and now he is a qualified businessman.

"Hahahaha, the cost of building the airport will not be reduced, and the price of the aircraft will not be reduced, so the profit will not be more—" De Almeida is also a black heart. The airline does not rely on the airport for profit. Airplanes are needed, and airplanes are consumables. This is the core of airlines' profitability.

"I heard that you are also going to expand your business in Europe. How is it going now?" Chen Xie is very interested in the trend of Air Rhodesia. Nyasaran Airlines has started to expand its business in Europe a few years ago. Not too bad.

After the World War, countries around the world increased their research on civil aviation, including the United Kingdom, the United States, France, and Italy all established their own airlines, and even Japan tried to join them for a share.

But generally speaking, the first-mover advantage of Nyasaland Airlines is still very obvious. The aircraft produced by Nyasaland Airlines accounts for more than [-]% of the civilian aircraft that have been put into use, and the remaining [-]%. Another nearly [-]% was lost, and other airlines were struggling.

Among the competitors of the two companies in southern Africa, not to mention Japan, which is still in the test flight stage, the worst should be Italy. Up to now, not a single plane has been sold, and it is basically on the verge of bankruptcy.

"You Nyasaran Airline people still have the nerve to ask this question? If the business in Europe is developing well, why should I go to Bloemfontein to fight with you." De Almeida is not optimistic. In Africa, Air Rhodesia can still compete with Nyasaran Air. Out of southern Africa, Air Rhodesia has almost no advantage.

No matter from which aspect, Air Rhodesia has a huge gap with Nyasaran Air.

However, in Southern Africa, with Stoudemire's influence, Air Rhodesia can still get some business. At least the aviation business of Rhodesia and Cape has been taken away by Air Rhodesia.

However, Stoudemire's influence is limited to southern Africa. Outside of southern Africa, the influence of Nyasaran Air is beyond the reach of Rhodesian Air. Don't forget that during the World War, Rock was the commander-in-chief of the British Expeditionary Force. This position The influence brought by it is still huge, and it has surpassed the Allies. In the Allies, Rock also has huge influence.

"It doesn't mean you can win if you die hard——" Chen Xie was triumphant. Yang Smozi hoped that Air Rhodesia and Nyasaran Air would launch a price war. This idea is good, but it is actually unrealistic.

Now it is not a question of whether Rhodesia Airlines wants to fight a price war, but whether it dares.

If a price war is really launched, Air Rhodesia will not be able to win Air Nyasaran.

At the beginning, Rock supported Stoudemire to establish an airline, and even generously sent some technicians to Stoudemire. In fact, he must have reservations. The aircraft produced by Nyasaran Airlines, whether it is in terms of performance or stability , are better than Air Rhodesia.

Even in terms of cost, Air Rhodesia does not have an advantage.

"You Nyasaran Airlines has already won Nyasaland, Transvaal, Victoria, and Dias - why can't you give us some business for Rhodesia Air?" De Almeida felt his teeth a little itchy , I really want to get something to chew on.

The advantages of Nyasaland Airlines are not limited to the above four states. The entire Southern African Union, except for Rhodesia and Cape, all aviation business is monopolized by Nyasaland Airlines, and Rhodesia Air has no way to intervene.

The current city has not yet reached the point where a city needs two airports. Although Air Rhodesia's aircraft can use the airport built by Nyasaran Air, after all, they have to pay a part of the fee. Don't underestimate this little management fee. The cumulative advantage is getting bigger and bigger.

"Come on, I don't have the right to make decisions. Besides, I want to earn more money and go to Victoria to buy more land—" Chen Xie is also Chinese, and his attachment to land is unshakable.

Even Rock didn't forget to buy land after earning money, not to mention other Chinese.

Chen Xie is the senior operation director of Nyasaran Airlines, and his income is still very rich. In Victoria, Chen Xie already owns a farm with an area of ​​1500 acres. Even if he resigns now, Chen Xie relies on his farm in Victoria. Can also live very well.

Of course, the bigger the farm, the higher the tax to pay. According to the "New Tax Law", the annual land tax of Chen Xie's farm is 60 rand.
