Northwest, Turpan, Shanshan County.
Hami melon first got its name from this. Just because the melons are grown well does not mean that they will earn more, and it is not uncommon for melons to rot in the field if they cannot be sold. However, since Singapore Airlines opened the route from northwest to southeast, it has found a way out for the agricultural products in the entire northwest.
"Just relying on an airport in Urumqi is not enough!" Mr. Zhang of Singapore Airlines sighed. He was standing by the airport in Shanshan County, and in front of him was the construction site that was being rebuilt and expanded.
"Mr. Zhang, please be content. You earn so much, it's time to share some money with us." A tall and thin man stood beside Mr. Zhang. He looked at the airport being remodeled and sighed, "I don't know you Where did Director Lin come from to allow the central government to give you such a good subsidy policy?"
The tall and thin one is the vice chairman of China Southern Airlines, and he came to the Northwest to 'help'. Just looking at Mr. Zhang's face, this 'help' might as well be a business grab.
Because of the good advertising of "Linsen", Singapore Airlines' cargo business increased tenfold. There are not many tourists traveling to and from the northwest, but the parcels to and from the northwest are really overwhelming and piled up like a mountain. Since most of these packages are food, the loss is too great if they are stored for a long time, so they must be transported away as soon as possible.
The scale of more than 100 cargo planes of Singapore Airlines is large in the world, but it cannot support the consumption power of a food empire with a population of more than one billion people. Faced with the mountain of packages, Mr. Zhang, who is in charge of sales, originally intended to reduce the number of orders received and balance the shipping capacity at a reasonable point.
It's just that Zhou Qingfeng, as the chairman, unceremoniously reprimanded this kind of courageous behavior. His idea is to spend money and profit to invite other domestic airlines, must maintain the current scale of transportation, only allowed to increase, not allowed to decrease.
After finally making the cake bigger, I actually threw the extra cake into the trash can because my appetite was too small. I think this kind of idea is out of my mind. It's okay to invite others to eat the extra cake, but it's not good to drive others away after you have a big appetite.
So Zhou Qingfeng asked Singapore Airlines to sign a one-year contract with Air China, China Eastern Airlines, and China Southern Airlines. He used the money he earned to subsidize the other three airlines, so that more cargo planes can be transported, and the current good situation must be stabilized.
For such a good thing, the other three airlines rushed over to eat the ready-made cargo market. Anyway, the fleet can be rented, and the pilots and ground staff can be hired. At most, an operation team is needed to start working, earning at least one billion more a year, and not doing it for nothing!
And in order to further reduce costs, Zhou Qingfeng began to rebuild and expand more than a dozen airports in the northwest after raising a large sum of money in the stock market. Because only Urumqi in the northwest has a runway capable of taking off and landing large aircraft, and other airports are too small.
According to Zhou Qingfeng's request, at least the take-off and landing capabilities of small airports should be improved. They are not required to be able to take off and land big ones like 747, but at least be able to take off and land medium-sized planes like 737.
At that time, a single aviation point in Urumqi will be expanded into an aviation network, and it may even continue to expand to Tibet and Qinghai. The transportation capacity and efficiency will increase again, and the logistics cost will decrease again. At that time, Northwest Airlines, also known as Singapore Airlines, has the final say.
Thinking that he will be in charge of the entire Northwest civil aviation network in the future, Mr. Zhang of Singapore Airlines can't help but sigh: "Our Director Lin is very powerful, courageous, and magnanimous, which makes people have to admire."
The vice president of China Southern Airlines glanced at him, and said sourly: "I heard that Mr. Zhang, you didn't pay much attention to Director Lin at first, and even went to the imperial capital to file a complaint, trying to overthrow Director Lin."
"Nonsense." Mr. Zhang was impatient, "You can't talk about things that have no basis. I don't take Lin Dong seriously? But I respect Lin Dong in my heart."
You smelly and shameless!
The vice president of China Southern Airlines laughed tauntingly, and then lowered his voice and asked: "Mr. Zhang, we have worked together in the past, and now we are in the same trench. Can you tell me the truth, where did your director Lin come from? Great ability? Create a scale of more than one hundred cargo planes in one go!
Does Mr. Lin really intend to continue this low-price policy? Have you received huge subsidies from the central government?
How much money do you have to lose? How long will this policy last? "
The vice president of China Southern Airlines asked a lot of questions in one breath. Among them, it is really strange that Singapore Airlines has a fleet of more than 100 planes. But what people want to understand most is who will bear the huge losses of Singapore Airlines?
Gasoline money, maintenance money, and airliner depreciation money will cost at least 100 billion yuan a year. Who can bear this kind of loss? If you say that there is no country behind this incident, no one will believe it!
This kind of loss made Singapore Airlines' president Zhang feel terrified, but he recently discovered that his boss not only did not intend to stop, but wanted to expand the scale of transportation. And in order to ensure the supply of goods in the future, the boss of the family is still talking with the Construction Corps about increasing the production of agricultural and sideline industries.
When aviation points become aviation networks, it is easy to lose hundreds of millions of dollars that day. So where does the money come from? Will the state really keep giving huge subsidies secretly?
Mr. Zhang couldn't answer these questions. He could only ask his boss a few words in his daily report, "Director Lin, it's terrible to accumulate such a huge loss like ours. Who will fill in this big hole in the future?"
"Huge loss?" Zhou Qingfeng who received the call knew what everyone was worried about. In fact, since he made more than 100 cargo planes crazily transported, this kind of voice of doubt has never stopped. After all, no one would have guessed that his plane would cost money.
"Don't worry, I know the loss in my heart, so there is no need to worry. You can expand your business at ease." Zhou Qingfeng has no way to deny the loss, and he even deliberately makes people misunderstand that all losses are borne by the government. Easier than explaining where the plane came from.
"Director Lin, I must remind you of one thing. Some friends in the financial industry recently told me that foreign forces are trying to short-sell our stocks in the stock market. They are contacting some securities institutions and banks.
You have to know that our financial industry has been heavily penetrated by foreign countries. Many financial people have become the spokespersons of foreign forces. These guys are naturally rebellious, and it is difficult to guarantee some moths. I know that your background is very tough, but there are some things that are best to be on guard against. "
Zhang has always seen the strength of "Lin Sen" with his own eyes, which is the integrated support from top to bottom. Whether he likes it or not, he must stand with his boss, which concerns his own future.
Zhou Qingfeng on the other end of the phone did not realize that someone was trying to cheat him on stocks. He hesitated for a moment and admitted: "I really don't know much about finance. But... I'm still good at some aspects .Tell me, what's going on?"
"I can't explain clearly in a few words, let me send you relevant information." Mr. Zhang suddenly felt relieved, feeling that his boss was still very persuasive.
And Zhou Qingfeng read a few pages after receiving a document, and said with a surprised expression: "Japanese? There are still Japanese who dare to mess with me these days?"
