Chapter 1178 Pengcheng Airport
On the morning of the 5th, Li Guangyu specially listened to Du Yuemei's investment inspection of Pengcheng Airport in the office.

It has been more than a month since the first negotiation at the end of November last year. Du Yuemei also arranged for personnel to carefully investigate the Pengcheng market, and communicated with the Pengcheng government many times.

The Pengcheng government is still very determined. They designed the Pengcheng Airport with a 4E level, and initially built a 4D level airport. In the future, the airport will be expanded when necessary, and the Pengcheng government hopes to build the Pengcheng Airport into a mainland An important hub airport for foreign exchanges.

The airport will build a 3200-meter runway to enable it to take off and land any civil aviation aircraft in the world. At the initial stage, 8 aprons and a terminal building of 15 square meters will be built. Later, it will be expanded as needed. The total investment is expected to be [-] billion RMB.

Du Yuemei said: "Sheng Li, judging from Pengcheng's development speed in the past year, it is unlikely that such an airport will suffer losses as long as it maintains normal operations. I personally recommend investing in it, and I hope that The executives of Xiangjiang Airlines Transportation Group can go to the capital to visit the senior officials in the mainland, so that Xiangjiang Airlines can enter the mainland routes, and Pengcheng Airport will serve as our base airport in the mainland.”

As the first executive officer of Li's consortium, Du Yuemei naturally didn't just focus on Jiulong Group, she was also thinking about the development of other groups.

The investment in Pengcheng Airport this time is a good opportunity for them. At present, the reform in the Mainland is becoming more and more liberalized. Many industries in Xiangjiang can enter the Mainland. Now there is a real opportunity for airlines to enter the Mainland. If you miss this opportunity now, wait for the Mainland in the future. After the economy develops, it will be more difficult for them to enter.

Now they invest in the mainland to avoid losing money. First of all, they must allow me to enter the industry in the mainland. Only by opening this door, with the continuous development of the mainland economy, can they obtain a steady stream of profits.

For example, the current petrochemical group, according to some terms, is currently losing money in setting up gas stations in many towns, but for the inland market, in order to enter more provinces and cities, the petrochemical group still has no hesitation in carrying out gas stations in many towns construction.

The same is true for the opening of inland routes. At present, in the inland economy, if they open routes between the inland, as long as the routes are not particularly popular, they will basically only lose money.

We must know that the current control in the mainland is still relatively strict, and the income of the people is not too rich. Generally, the people who take the plane are government personnel.

The most important point is that even if Xiangjiang Airlines is not afraid of losing money, it is not easy to enter the mainland market. This involves many sensitive issues. Li Guangyu's major airports can open international routes to some cities in the mainland, but if he wants to open a route between the mainland The problem of inter-airlines is relatively large.

The opening of international routes is through the exchange between the two parties. Compared with the Hong Kong-Shanghai route, Hong Kong Airlines can open it, and mainland airlines can also open this route. The number of flights is also negotiated by the Hong Kong Transport Bureau and the relevant departments in the mainland. The rights of both sides of the route are equal.

Li Guangyu said: "We can invest in the investment of Pengcheng Airport. You will discuss the specific agreement with the Pengcheng government in detail. As for Xiangjiang Airlines entering the mainland, I will instruct Zhao Wenhua to communicate with the mainland in the next few days and go to Beijing for some communication." , but you still don’t have too much expectation, it involves not only flight routes, but also air traffic control issues in various places, it’s not so easy for us to enter.”

Not to mention the mainland, at present, the seven base airports of Xiangjiang Airlines, Hong Kong, Taoyuan, Kuala Lumpur, Bangkok, Vancouver, Sao Paulo, and London, Li Guangyu basically opens international routes to avoid too much conflict with airlines in various countries or regions. compete.

As for the competition on international routes, there is no way. In this respect, Xiangjiang Airlines will not compete with them, and other airlines will compete with them.

Of course Du Yuemei is aware of the complexity involved, but she thinks she still needs to give it a try. If it succeeds, it will be very beneficial to the future development of Xiangjiang Airlines.

You must know that the mainland has a market of more than one billion people, and the demand for air transportation will definitely increase in the future. If they enter first now, they can arrange many popular routes. Even if there may be some losses at present, they will double in the future. earn back.

Du Yuemei said: "Li Sheng, I will discuss the investment of Pengcheng Airport with the Pengcheng government. I believe this will be a good investment and will bring us relatively rich profits in the future.

As for Xiangjiang Airlines, if it really doesn’t work, we can form a joint venture with the Pengcheng government in the future to establish an airline in the mainland, and then we will be the biggest beneficiaries through various forms according to the situation. "

Li Guangyu didn't have such a plan for the time being. Since Du Yuemei had such an idea, Li Guangyu didn't stop it. It would be best if he succeeded. Even if he didn't succeed, he wouldn't suffer too much loss.

Compared with airlines entering the mainland, Li Guangyu is still more concerned about the layout of several major retail groups, petrochemicals, Phoenix Group, Jiayi Group and other companies in the mainland.

Li Guangyu said: "This time, I will inject another 50 billion US dollars into your group. For the development of your group in the past two years, your group must also have the ability to make blood, especially the operation of the Taipei MRT. You should think more about it." How to make it reduce operating costs, we need to generate income, Kowloon Group is not a charity, you must pay special attention to some management."

Du Yuemei can only listen to this. The reason why Taipei MRT is in such a situation is not because the Taiwan government has given benefits where it was established, but the profits have gone to Starlight Real Estate Group. Now they Jiulong Group They can only earn a little hard work, and there is no time to recover the cost. Du Yuemei also feels helpless about this.

At the beginning, she suggested to Li Guangyu that Jiulong Group enter the real estate industry, so that when they invest in some projects, Jiulong Group can recover the investment cost from the surrounding area, but unfortunately Li Guangyu disagreed, and she had no choice.

Take subway investment for example. If Kowloon Group can enter the real estate industry, property development at major subway stations will be enough for them to recover most of the cost. If the surrounding development area is large enough, they can even make a fortune.

After all, the transportation of properties on the station is extremely convenient, and the flow of people is relatively good. The development of real estate in these places is more popular with consumers, and investment in this aspect is not afraid of losses.

It's a pity that although the idea is good, Li Guangyu disagrees here, and Jiulong Group is restricted from investing in infrastructure, mainly in subways, expressways, ports, airports, and railways, and Jiulong Group doesn't think about other industries.

A few days ago, their Kowloon Bus Company just went out independently, just to make their Kowloon Group more pure.

This time, the properties on the Taipei MRT Line 2 and Line 3 were still taken away by Starlight Real Estate Group, and the Kowloon Group would take years to recover the cost of the Taipei MRT.

Fortunately, their Jiulong Group did not rely on the cost recovered by themselves to invest, otherwise their Jiulong Group would have no development prospects at all.
