Chapter 437 Continental Route
After nearly three months, Zhao Wenhua finally obtained the opening of the first route in the mainland. This is a very good start for Xiangjiang Airlines, and its route is the route from Xiangjiang to Huacheng.As for the capital city and the Shanghai stock market are still applying, it is estimated that it will take a while.

Li Guangyu had just returned from Hutchison Whampoa, and Zhao Wenhua reported the good news to Li Guangyu.

Li Guangyu was also very happy when he heard that, he knew that the difficulty of getting the air routes there was far greater than the ones he opened in other regions.Although only one route has been approved so far, Li Guangyu believes that there will be more and more Hong Kong routes to mainland cities in the future.

Zhao Wenhua said: "Li Sheng, the leaders of Guangdong Province have given us a lot of help for the route to Huacheng to be approved so quickly this time. It is because of their promotion that our route to Huacheng can be approved so quickly."

Li Guangyu knew that the top management of Guangdong Province contributed their efforts this time, firstly, to strengthen the connection between Xiangjiang and them, and secondly, to support Xiangjiang Airlines, so that Li Guangyu could continue to maintain his investment in Pengcheng.

Li Guangyu said: "The other two cities should also step up contact and strive to open air routes to these two cities as soon as possible. At the same time, we should also pay attention to the passenger flow at the airports of several other major cities in the mainland. When the time is right, we will also apply for air routes from them." open."

After Li Guangyu finished talking about the arrangement of the mainland airlines, he told Zhao Wenhua about the Xiangjiang Air Cargo Terminal Management Company, and asked him to arrange for someone to go to Hutchison Whampoa to purchase its shares, and at the same time asked him to hold a meeting of directors as a major shareholder The meeting formally began to take over the affairs of Xiangjiang Air Cargo Terminal Management Company.

Zhao Wenhua is very happy about this. He has Xiangjiang Aircraft Engineering Company under Xiangjiang Airlines, and now has Xiangjiang Air Cargo Terminal Management Company. He believes that his company is not far from the establishment of the group, and he himself will officially join Li Group executives.

Zhao Wenhua said: "Li Sheng, after I go back, I will lead the staff to negotiate the acquisition of Hutchison Whampoa in person, and strive to complete the acquisition of its shares within two days. At that time, we will hold 50% of the shares and manage them at Xiangjiang Air Cargo Terminal. The company has the right to make changes to the company's personnel."

Li Guangyu said: "This wholly-owned acquisition may take a long time, so you have to maintain the normal operation of the company and don't let this company have something like Cathay Pacific, otherwise we will be in more trouble."

Li Guangyu was mainly worried that Henry Keswick and Wooden Szewyer were making trouble here. He was not the same as the cargo plane that arrived in Xiangjiang was unable to unload the cargo.

Zhao Wenhua immediately assured: "Li Sheng, I will definitely maintain the stable development of the company, and will not let what happened to Cathay Pacific happen to Hong Kong Airlines."

Zhao Wenhua didn't believe that someone would poach someone at this time. Xiangjiang only has this air cargo terminal management company. If these people change jobs, it will be difficult to find a job in the same industry.And to poach the corners of Li's Group, they have to consider whether their company can afford the Li's Group's revenge.

Li Guangyu said: "You should strive to complete the airline's route plan as soon as possible. Mr. MacLehose will leave his post in less than half a year. Once the governor is changed, we are not so sure that we can talk so well. You try to open up more routes within these few months."

Zhao Wenhua also knew that there were no restrictions on the current routes of Xiangjiang Airlines. If he didn't seize some routes within this period of time, he would feel sorry for Li Guangyu for winning such a good opportunity for them.

Zhao Wenhua said: "Li Sheng, I will arrange people to go to some of the cities we booked to negotiate, and strive to win these routes as soon as possible, but please tell me how to arrange the mainland."

Li Guangyu said: "The cities on the mainland are mainly located in Jinmen, Fengtian, Chang'an, Jiangcheng, Rongcheng, Shuangqing, Lin'an, and Jinling. As many as we can apply for, we can open one flight a week in the early stage. It’s okay, just treat it as a market. As the passenger flow changes, we are increasing flights.”

Li Guangyu knew that as the mainland's reform and opening up continued, more and more mainlanders would come to Xiangjiang, and there would be no problem with the passenger flow in the future.As for now, more people from Xiangjiang are going to the mainland.

Passengers coming from the mainland are mainly government officials and overseas students, and ordinary citizens do not have that strength.

Zhao Wenhua did not expect Li Guangyu to be so optimistic about the mainland market, and asked him to discuss flight routes with so many cities at once.

However, he did not object to Li Guangyu's request. Since Li Guangyu ordered him to do so, he could just follow the instructions. However, with so many air route applications, Zhao Wenhua didn't know how much he could pass in the mainland.

Zhao Wenhua said: "Li Sheng, after our company takes over the Xiangjiang Air Cargo Terminal Management Company, I will personally go north to these cities, negotiate with the local government, and strive to win these routes."

Li Guangyu said: "You just do your best in this regard, and I won't give you any rigid targets. One counts as one."

The route on the mainland not only needs the approval of the local government, but also the approval of the Aviation Administration Bureau, and they still have a lot of things to consider. Li Guangyu doesn't think that Xiangjiang Airlines can get so many routes at once.

Li Guangyu's biggest routes are still in Rongcheng and Shuangqing. Li Guangyu's hometown is in Sichuan and Sichuan provinces. Cao Weiqing Charity Fund has been funding the establishment of rural primary schools in Sichuan and Sichuan provinces for these years.He believes that Xiangjiang Airlines will support the opening of routes to their two cities.

Although Li Guangyu said so, Zhao Wenhua still made up his mind to win more routes in some cities, so as to live up to Li Guangyu's respect for him.

Then Zhao Wenhua reported to Li Guangyu the use of the four passenger planes that came back this month.

One of the Airbus planes used the Huacheng route, and the other three passenger planes flew directly to San Francisco, Jakarta and Kuala Lumpur respectively.

After hearing this, Li Guangyu said: "We need to speed up the layout of Southeast Asia. There should not only be Taipei routes on Baodao, but we should also prepare for layouts in Tainan, and Japan should not only focus on Tokyo. As for South Korea, there are Seoul routes. Don't worry too much."

Zhao Wenhua also hopes to open more routes, but there are not enough planes right now. Now each country and region can open flights to one city, which is good. If you want to increase the number of flights to other cities, you have to wait for more planes to come back. just work.

At the same time, Zhao Wenhua also felt that Xiangjiang Airlines was much more tiring than Cathay Pacific Airways, and it was difficult to increase the number of routes by two in a year.Xiangjiang Airlines is constantly adding routes every month. If the planes can't keep up, I'm afraid that the airports where Xiangjiang Airlines is based will have their planes taking off every hour.

Zhao Wenhua said: "Sheng Li, when we have sufficient capacity, I will consider opening additional routes in these areas. As you know, our airline currently has only 12 planes in total, and the planes coming back this month are only 16. , we still have too few planes compared to the route.”

Li Guangyu didn't have much to do about it. Boeing and Airbus were able to provide them with two passenger planes each month, which was quite good.
