Chapter 1371: Taking Orders 16

In fact, the main reason for ordering so many aircraft at one time is that Rashid wants Dubai to become the well-deserved air transportation hub of the UAE. The UAE is located on the Persian Gulf, making every emirate close to the sea. In terms of dock construction, no one can compare with Fucaira. After all, with the help of Heiyun Group, everything can be done very quickly.

Now that maritime transport has fallen behind, air superiority cannot be lost. Therefore, it is necessary to plan in advance. When other emirates are not ready, Dubai Aviation's advantages have already been formed; only in this way can it occupy a place in future development. Otherwise, it will not only be inferior to Abu Dhabi, but may also be surpassed by Fucairah.

Although the probability of this happening is very high, I don’t want Dubai to have any advantages at all. Therefore, the airport will be expanded and aircraft purchased on a large scale.

In fact, Bao Zixuan has also thought about building an airport in Fucaira. But in the end the idea was given up. It is not very far from Dubai itself. And it has been decided to build a high-speed rail from Dubai Airport, as well as a ten-lane highway. From now on, it will only take one hour to reach Fucairah from Dubai Airport, and half an hour by high-speed rail. It can be said that it is as convenient as our own airport.

Moreover, the land area of ​​Fucaira is too small. If a large international hub airport is built, the land issue alone will be a troublesome matter. However, Mr. Bao is not unprepared. After all, the role of the airport in the future cannot be ignored.

Therefore, Fucaira will also build an airport, but it will be a dual-use airport. It is mainly used for military purposes, and will only be used by civilians to dock private planes and transport supplies.

At the same time, in order to cope with future emergencies, the internal roads in Fucaira will be expanded. Any road can be changed into a field airport within 24 hours. So much steel raw material exchanged from the US military was basically shipped to Fucaira and China.

As big as Fucairah is, it would be an understatement to say that its roads and buildings are made of steel.

Bao Shaofu certainly understands what Dubai means. Since he wants to become an aviation hub, he can definitely push it. Dubai will definitely not give in when Fucairah seeks status in the future. But it is still a country after all, and many things require good communication and collaboration.

Bao Zixuan said with a smile: "With so many aircraft purchased, Dubai International Airport will definitely need to be expanded in the future. Therefore, I want to get it right in one step. At least I won't have to worry about parking spaces for the next few decades. Fucairah is not planning to build a civilian airport. After all, Dubai One is enough. I want to build a highway from Fucairah and a high-speed railway directly to Dubai International Airport.”

Roads and railways will definitely need to occupy part of Dubai's land, but they still need to be informed in advance. As for compensation, Bao Shoufang is not stingy.

It turns out that this kid is waiting for him here, but this is a good thing for both parties. Following the expansion of Dubai International Airport, more passengers will be needed. The development of Fucairah is obvious to all, and the future is definitely promising.

There must have been many people in Fucaira in the past. It is estimated that the roads and railways were also used for this purpose.

Moreover, Fujairah is closely connected with Dubai and even unites; even Abu Dhabi has to give face.

Rashid: “If the expansion is too big, there will inevitably be some financial constraints.”

This guy agreed to expand, but made it clear he wanted funds. Fortunately, the richest baker was prepared for this, so he said with a smile: "There are three main expenditures for the expansion of the airport, of which the land is ready; that is to say, Dubai only needs to provide the land. All materials are provided by Fucaira Provided; as for labor and other costs, I believe Abu Dhabi is willing to bear them.”

Businessmen are still smart, and expanding the airport feels like a huge expense. But this kid solved the problem perfectly with an understatement. If Dubai only provides land, then things will be much simpler. The airport is surrounded by royal land, so it itself is vacant.

As for materials and labor, Fucaira definitely has no money. But this guy is definitely willing to pay, so there will be no problem. Abu Dhabi pays a little labor fee, but there is still no big problem. It's very reasonable no matter how you look at it. It can be said that Bao Zixuan's idea is very thoughtful!

In fact, Mr. Bao also has selfish motives. In exchange for so much steel from the Americans, he must find a place to use it. The area of ​​Fucaira is still too small and it will definitely not be used up. The expansion of Dubai Airport can be fully discounted at market prices. Of course, some parts of the airport require special customization, and that doesn’t matter; Heiyun’s factories in Deep Sea China, Fucairah in the Middle East, and Saudi Arabia can all meet the technical requirements.

Rashid said with a smile: "Mr. Bao is still thoughtful. In that case, it doesn't matter how big the construction is; there is still a lot of land around the airport."

Land prices in Dubai are not very expensive now, until after the turn of the millennium. Land in Dubai is a scarce resource. The more territory you occupy now, the more benefits you will gain in the future. And providing raw materials is a simple matter for the current Heiyun Group.

Hutchison Plaza in Mainland China was built so quickly even if it started. The steel and other raw materials exchanged by the United States must be stored somewhere, and the most important thing is to make good use of them. The Dubai International Airport expansion project is obviously very suitable.

Bao Zixuan: "That's it, find the most famous designer in the world. It doesn't matter how much money you spend, you have to make Dubai Airport unique."

Rashid was a little confused when he heard that this kid was spending so much money. In any case, he should be more inclined to Fucaira, how could he support the development of Dubai so much. It can only be said that ordinary people cannot understand the thoughts of the super rich. Expanding the airport is definitely good for the development of Dubai. As long as you remember this, nothing else matters.

In fact, Bao Zixuan wants to reserve a seat in advance and build a Heiyun store at Dubai Airport. Moreover, it is also a super flagship store. I believe that future sales will definitely be astronomical. It's just that these are small things that can attract tourists into Dubai; I believe no sheikh will object.

The airport can only be regarded as a small episode, and the next step is to negotiate the purchase of aircraft.

Rashid smiled and said: "Although Heiyun's products are never discounted, after all, you are also a shareholder of Emirates Airlines. This order is so big, why don't you consider it?"

Not lowering prices is a long-established strategy, and this Bao Zixuan cannot easily change. After all, we can't make ourselves proud. But as a partner, you still have to make some adjustments.

Bao Zixuan: "There are four aircraft produced by the United Aircraft Manufacturing Company. However, I can decide on the 919 passenger plane produced by the Heiyun Group and give it to each emirate for free. It is a little bit of kindness, so that everyone can have a balance in their hearts. "

The United Arab Emirates currently consists of seven emirates. Although Sharjah and others do not hold a large number of shares in Emirates Airlines, some will be reserved symbolically for them. In other words, Heiyun Group sent 7 aircraft at one time, which is definitely a big deal.

In fact, Rashid knew that this kid wanted to increase his influence, but that was a headache for Abu Dhabi. As long as Dubai can get benefits, nothing else matters.

The richest man Bao really had this idea. After all, the war between Fujairah and Sharjah would definitely make other surrounding emirates feel grudges. If you want to have influence within the UAE in the future, you must show your generosity.

Of course, little Fucaira will not be satisfied, but the international situation does not allow a businessman to be too idealistic, let alone willful. Then we can only continue to divide and disintegrate neighboring countries. If you sow melons, you will get beans; if there is no expression at all, no one will believe it.

It looks like a loss of about US$200 million, but compared with future earnings, this loss is negligible.

Rashid smiled and said: "You are still generous, I will do as you say. However, the airline's book funds are still a little tight. The bank will provide some loans, but at the same time, shareholders need to raise US$5 billion."

5 billion US dollars was allocated to Bao Zixuan, which is about 1.5 billion US dollars; this amount of money is not much.

Bao Zixuan: "No problem, we will arrange the remittance tomorrow."

It’s good to cooperate with rich people; never delay anything you do.

This is the largest order in the history of civil aviation; it was reached in an understatement between the two. It can be said that the two of them didn't seem to be discussing business at all, but more wanted to chat and reminisce about old times. But as long as things can be accomplished, it may be worth doing anything.
