Chapter 693 Airlines 1

Zayed is not interested in knowing the gossip about Bao Zixuan, Salad and De Ligt. After all, he is the head of state, not an entertainment tabloid reporter. Let them handle these matters themselves. As long as De Ligt doesn't do anything excessive, Bao Zixuan is not in danger in the UAE. Zayed hopes that they will fight; being able to use external forces to deal with opponents is something that everyone likes to see.

Although he will not interfere with jealousy matters, as the president, he still needs to be more proactive in the development of his own economy. This is his responsibility. Only by making the country prosperous and strong will the people love and support him as president.

At this moment the most successful businessman in the world and the master of economic planning is in front of him. Their horizons are much broader than those of them, and any idea they come up with can serve the UAE for several years, or even decades. Bao Zixuan just has this magic power, and it’s okay not to be convinced.

Zayed smiled and said: "Mr. Bao, as the most successful entrepreneur in the world, he is also an authority on economics. Where do you think the UAE should develop first? Although now because of oil, the life of the domestic people is not bad. . But sooner or later, the oil will be exhausted, and we must think ahead for future generations."

In fact, in Bao Zixuan's heart, there is really a project that he can cooperate with the United Arab Emirates. If done well, it will greatly promote the group's business development, and the UAE company in its previous life has a very high reputation in the world.

Now that President Zayed has taken the initiative, we cannot let the opportunity slip away.

But when someone compliments you, you have to be humble no matter what. Bao Zixuan said with a smile: "I am not an economic expert. If I am in science and engineering, I might be able to give some advice. If a country's economic development is not planned well, it will suffer heavy losses. By then, it will become the eternal sinner of the UAE. Now we We can still communicate happily, but by then we may not even be friends.”

"So when it comes to planning economic matters, His Excellency the President still seeks top economic planning masters. I am a science major and have not studied economic planning deeply."

Zayed has dealt with Chinese people and knows some ways of dealing with people. Moreover, Bao Zixuan has helped other Arab countries with overall planning; he is much better than the so-called economic experts. It can be seen from the scale of the company they run that most of the experts who brag about themselves in the media every day are theoretical, and they may not be able to do anything at a critical moment.

If those so-called economic experts are allowed to plan the UAE economy, it is estimated that the country may have problems within a few years. At present, it seems that Bao Zixuan is more practical and can fundamentally solve the problem.

Zayed: "Don't be modest, Mr. Bao. Although you are not an economics major, your judgment and control in the process of economic development are unparalleled. Most of those so-called economic experts have never done any business. He can use theories and data to speak. When it comes to governing a country or managing a company, it would be strange if he could succeed according to his method."

"You can safely and boldly say that right or wrong has nothing to do with you. I can give advice to other Arab brother countries, but now I am so humble. Is there anything in the UAE that has offended you?"

Bao Shaofu knew that he could no longer refuse, and he had no intention of refusing at all. What I just said was just a polite word. If you don't tell me how to get the shares.

Bao Zixuan: "Since His Excellency the President has already said what he said, I'm really sorry if I don't say anything. But if you think it's unreasonable, just treat it as if I didn't say it and just treat it as a chat between friends."

President Zayed quickly said that he would be safe and bold and would never complain even if he failed. It is said that it is a chat between friends, but with this level of conversation, what kind of chat is there with friends?

Bao Zixuan: "If the UAE wants to develop, it must consider transportation issues. Currently, the entire country's transportation is very single and backward. There are no highways connecting the several emirates, and there is no road network built with other Arab countries."

"The most fatal problem is aviation. The UAE does not yet have an airline of its own. In fact, the UAE can completely serve as a link and bridge between the outside world and Arab countries. There are many people from all over the world and regions in the UAE, and at the same time, it still It has retained a lot of Arab traditions. Iraq, Jordan, and Saudi Arabia all want to develop tourism. It is very necessary for tourists to make a transition in the UAE. The province has made jokes in places like Saudi Arabia because of cultural and living habits, which is not conducive to tourists. , and will even damage the image of countries in the Arab region."

In the previous life, Emirates Airlines was not established until October 25, 1985. In this life, Bao Zixuan was just a little earlier.

When Emirates was founded, it only leased one Boeing 737 and one Airbus A300B4. With Dubai's aggressive open skies policy, Emirates continues to develop and expand to maintain a competitive edge and fully support the policy. It has been profitable every year since the third year of operation. In the first ten years, it doubled every three and a half years, an astonishing growth rate.

Ordering airplanes is even more arrogant and can even be said to be overbearing. At the 2003 Paris Air Show, Emirates announced the largest passenger aircraft transaction in aviation history, with a total of 71 new passenger aircraft worth US$19 billion, including Airbus and Boeing aircraft. Emirates has become the largest buyer of A340-600 HGW and A380 passenger aircraft.

At the 9th Dubai International Air Show in 2005, Emirates Airlines announced a formal order for 42 Boeing 777 passenger aircraft, with a total value equivalent to US$9.7 billion. It was the largest transaction in the history of Boeing 777, including 24 Boeing 777-300ER, 10 Boeing 777-200LR, 8 Boeing 777F.

At the 2006 Farnborough Air Show in the United Kingdom, Emirates Airline signed a letter of intent to purchase 10 Boeing 747-8F passenger aircraft, with a transaction value of US$3.3 billion.

At the Dubai Air Show in November 2007, Emirates announced a historic order for civil aviation aircraft. The purchase included 120 Airbus A350 aircraft, 11 A380 aircraft and 12 Boeing 777-300ER aircraft. The estimated price Approximately US$34.9 billion. In this agreement with Airbus, Emirates will purchase 50 A350-900 aircraft, 20 A350-1000 aircraft, and possibly 50 more A350-900 aircraft.

Emirates also placed a firm order for eight A380 aircraft that it had signed a letter of intent to purchase in early 2011, and confirmed an order for three more double-decker aircraft of this type, bringing the total number of confirmed A380 purchases to 58.

Together with the new order for 12 777-300ER aircraft, Emirates has a total of 48 Boeing 777s awaiting delivery, putting it on track to become the world's largest 777 operator in the coming years.

At the 2013 Dubai Air Show, which opened on November 17, 2013, Dubai-based Emirates Airlines signed a contract with Airbus, confirming the purchase of 50 additional Airbus A380 aircraft.

At this point, the total number of Airbus A380 aircraft ordered by Emirates Airlines has reached 140. This order fully demonstrates the continued strong demand for very large aircraft in the Middle East. Air transport in the Middle East is growing faster than the global average.

In its previous life, Emirates Airlines continued to set records for the number and value of orders, and could be said to be the richest company in the world. Of course, it has a lot to do with state support, but the contribution of the rapid economic growth in the Middle East to this company cannot be denied.

Emirates is financially strong and independent and does not require any subsidy from its shareholders other than the capital required for its establishment. It has been profitable every year since the third year of operation. In just a few years, it has taken a leading position in the global tourism and travel industry.

Emirates combines mature destination management and leisure terminals, global cargo terminals, international ground management and aircraft information technology development departments to gain two major advantages: continuous rapid growth and consistent excellent service. The way to success. Known for having an international crew and the most modern fleet.

The service scope of Emirates Airline's route network covers Europe, the Middle East, the Far East, Africa, Asia and Australia, connecting more than 90 destinations around the world.

Every aviation giant in the world has said hello to this company. As an aeroengine engineer for Rolls-Royce, I have been to the UAE dozens of times. Every time he comes here, he will leave a deep impression on people, so Bao Zixuan believes that as long as the development route of the previous life remains unchanged, Emirates Airlines will definitely remain invincible.

Of course, such a good opportunity cannot be missed, and Bao Shoufang’s deeper purpose is to get Emirates Airlines to order aircraft from Heiyun. The large wide-body passenger aircraft technology that was exchanged for ground-effect aircraft has been developed for a long time. The prototype can be seen at the Paris Air Show this time, but it was previously covered up by the successful development of the hh-01 Phantom stealth aircraft.

Emirates Airlines is definitely an existence that no aircraft manufacturing company in the world can ignore. Therefore, Mr. Bao wants to reserve a seat in advance so that Heiyun's aircraft will not have to worry about buyers, which is a multi-purpose thing.
