At Diwopu Airport, a Boeing 747-8 passenger plane is landing. This passenger plane carried more than 400 passengers from Shanghai. These people were organized by travel agencies to come to Urumqi to enjoy the customs of the Northwest.

"When we arrive in Urumqi, we must try the authentic folk snacks here. Kebabs, grilled naan, ramen, and pilaf. The food here is very different from the mainland, and the price is cheap. I believe everyone will like it. like."

The tour guide of the travel agency held a small flag and led dozens or hundreds of tourists to board the bus while promoting it. Poroshenko, who passed by the bus, attracted the attention of many people with his tall figure and handsome pilot uniform.

Poroshenko smiled at the tourists and walked slowly into the staff lounge at the airport. There are still a few companions in the lounge, and they greet him when they meet.

"Hi, buddy." A foreigner dressed as a pilot in the lounge extended his hand to Poroshenko and said in Russian, "I'm Andrei, a newcomer."

Poroshenko reported his name and said with a smile, "I haven't been here for long."

"I heard that you are also Ukrainian?"

"Yes."

"Me too, I'm glad I got out of that hell. If I don't leave, those bastards in the council are going to gun me down to fly a fighter jet."

Two Ukrainian pilots sat chatting in the lounge, and they sighed when they talked about the situation in their own country. Ermao has been messed up by populists, politicians, public intellectuals and other miscellaneous things in the past few years. Holding his nose and showing democracy to the world is a fart.

The legacy of the Soviet Union was exhausted back then, and the West was treacherous and refused to help. Coupled with Da Mao's vigorous suppression, Er Mao's family was really suffering from hardship.

The scale of the Russo-Ukraine war is getting bigger and bigger. Does anyone know where there were extremely tragic but high-level tank battles? No one knows! The Western media would rather pay attention to those chickens pecking each other in the Middle East, and are too lazy to care about the bloody killings in Ukraine.

Poroshenko is a pilot recently recruited by Xinjiang Airlines. The salary is not high, but the victory is in escaping the fire pit. Talking about the motherland is too painful, but the new life in Urumqi makes him very talkative.

"Andre, have you seen those passenger planes that keep landing? Hundreds of hundreds of passengers are constantly rushing over from other parts of the country because our company provides extremely cheap air tickets. To be honest, the low fares are so shocking." Incredible people!"

What Poroshenko lamented was the large number of tourists he saw when he entered the airport. Since Xinjiang Airlines’ ticket price was halved, the tourism industry in Urumqi suddenly exploded—because the ticket price is so cheap.

In recent years, the price of oil has been low. The most expensive fare from Modu to Urumqi is only a little over one thousand, and the cheapest one is only six or seven hundred. And Singapore Airlines cut the fare in half, which is so cheap. Such a cheap fee coupled with the government's guidance has doubled the number of people traveling to the Northwest from the mainland.

The leaders of Urumqi originally thought that they were making money at a loss, and that the political tasks assigned by their superiors must be completed, and all losses had to be recognized with a pinch of their noses. Unexpectedly, the restructured Singapore Airlines would bring unexpected benefits to people. The surge in tourism has actually increased the city's tax revenue.

If the security situation in the Northwest can be greatly improved, cheap air tickets may even be a good way to promote economic development.

"But how did our company manage to get the ticket price so cheap?" Andre was also puzzled.

"There seems to be government subsidies," Poroshenko said.

Yes, most people attribute SIA's low fares to government subsidies. But in fact, the opposite is true. Chairman Lin of the company rejected the government subsidy. He said that there is absolutely no need for the government to worry that he will lose money.

But everyone felt that their boss was cheating—you made the fare so cheap, without government subsidies, you would definitely lose money.

In fact, Zhou Qingfeng is really not losing money, he still has to make money. There are many reasons for this. Airline expenses include three parts, aircraft purchase costs, fuel costs, personnel and maintenance costs.

Among them, aircraft and fuel are the bulk.

Of the fifteen large passenger planes that Zhou Qingfeng acquired, twelve were converted into cargo planes, and three were finally used for passenger transport after repairs. Among them, the new aircraft price of Boeing 747-8 is 350 million..., U.S. dollars.

But this huge sum of money, which occupies the absolute bulk, is zero here in Singapore Airlines. This saves a lot of depreciation charges.

The fuel oil is supplied by petrochemical enterprises in Urumqi at cost price. In oil-rich countries, such as Venezuela, gasoline is cheaper than water, resulting in a huge waste. Although aviation kerosene in Urumqi is not as cheap as water, it has caused Singapore Airlines’ fuel costs to plummet.

The remaining labor and maintenance costs are relatively low. Zhou Qingfeng even offered high salaries in order to recruit people, but the operating costs of Singapore Airlines are only a fraction of other airlines. SIA's fares are cut in half, and the profits are even higher than other airlines.

This ultra-low price policy of Singapore Airlines has made other airlines very distressed. If Singapore Airlines currently has too few large-scale long-range passenger planes, other airlines can give up the route to the Northwest.

It's not that no one complains in this situation, but complaints can only be said in private. Anyone who dares to speak publicly is courting death.

Even the Great Elder said, ‘Lin Sen is a good comrade’, and when people saw him, they had no choice but to walk around—do you dare to say that Lin Sen is maliciously disrupting the market? Believe it or not, Guoan will take you to drink tea immediately, and the copycats of the armed forces will put you under dictatorship, and the central leadership will only say that you have done a good job!

Now all fools understand that Lin Sen's background is very deep, very deep, unfathomable!

"Our boss's low-price policy will exhaust us all." Poroshenko kept sighing in the lounge. After he came to Singapore Airlines, he started to drive a cargo plane, except for normal rest, he was constantly spinning. All large cargo planes have been flying except for necessary maintenance, without changing personnel without changing planes, non-stop.

"It is said that the merchants in this city are very happy." Andre just came, but he also heard a lot of stories, "E-commerce in this country used to not include free shipping in the northwest, but now as long as the value of the goods reaches a certain level, they will Free postage too. That's scary, isn't it?"

Andrei is older and used to fly in Russia. Compared with the delivery time calculated by the rabbit's family in "days", the efficiency of Russian postal express delivery is calculated in "months". In terms of cost, it is a miracle that the cost of air freight for thousands of kilometers can be reduced by half.

In the past, the express delivery fee in Xinjiang was very high, and sometimes the value of the goods was not as good as the express delivery fee. If the value of the goods is low, the courier fee will be halved; if the value of the goods is high, it will be waived.

As a result, the transaction volume of various e-commerce companies in the entire Urumqi has soared. Now some people actually fly hundreds of tons of cantaloupes to the mainland, and the converted price is cheaper than buying them in supermarkets.

Xinjiang's agricultural products are being sold in large quantities, and goods from coastal areas are also being shipped in large quantities towards Xinjiang. All kinds of seafood will be flown to Urumqi by air, and the price will not be too expensive. This is a situation that benefits many parties.

Since SIA's more than a dozen freighters entered the market, transportation schedules were almost immediately scheduled for months. Because its cost and timeliness are too prominent, no one can compare. But this has only just begun, and the entire aviation industry believes that this low-price dumping situation cannot continue.

It should be just that Singapore Airlines is operating independently again, and it is the low-price strategy that Chairman Lin hopes to seize the market. It won't last, it won't last, it won't last.

Just when everyone thought that the big star Lin Sen was just playing a gimmick to make Singapore Airlines grab headlines, Uncle Zhou made a satellite phone call to Xiao Jinlang at a broken airport in Mongolia to ask for help, "Old Xiao, I messed up again. Fifty large planes are coming. Please send someone to help open them!"

What a disaster!
