1956

If the young Earl knew that Lynch had registered three commercial airlines, he might not be too interested.

Of course, this investment will definitely not be lost.

In view of the specific provisions and implementation methods of the current federal Antitrust Law, in the absence of current competitors, once Lynch's company is established and successfully operates for one quarter.

There is a high possibility of facing antitrust investigations.

Because there are no competitors and the market is monopolized by a single company, it is basically impossible for an antitrust investigation to fail.

This means that the company will be directly dismembered by the Anti-Monopoly Law.

In order to avoid this situation, Lynch registered a total of three aviation service companies. These three civil aviation service companies will form a competitive relationship.

The first one, and the one that will be under the control of Skynet Service Group Company in the future, is the "Federal Airlines" that he and the little earl just talked about.

The second company is jointly held by some small companies. Some of these small companies have cooperative relationships with Blackstone Airlines, so they are qualified to enter this field and will not feel out of place.

The third one is also the most special one.

It is still going through the registration process. This airline is jointly owned by Lynch and the military, so the process is a bit slow.

But it doesn’t matter, no matter how slow it is, you can still finish it.

Because it involves the military, some details of this company are not made public. In addition to civil aviation, its business also includes military operations and other businesses.

While the three own companies compete with each other, they can also prevent other airlines from entering!

It's like what some companies do.

In the past, when there was no Anti-Monopoly Law, people could easily talk about monopoly.

But since the implementation of the Anti-Monopoly Law, people have called monopoly "market share."

Everyone is striving to gain more market share. In fact, they are striving to achieve a greater degree of de facto monopoly!

But these have nothing to do with Lynch. He is just an ordinary businessman.

After everyone gathered together for a brief chat about the future airline, the welcome party was almost over.

This is a very small welcome meeting, lasting more than an hour. It won't be too long, and it doesn't need to be too long.

After making an appointment with the little earl and others, Lynch, Xenia, and Her Majesty the Queen took a car back to the mountainside villa.

The welcome tonight will make Her Majesty the Queen very happy. Although the empire has died, there are still many people who respect her and miss the royal family, which makes her very excited!

As for why she was excited, she might not even know it herself, but she was excited.

There was nothing to say all night, and the next morning, Lynch arranged for someone to protect Xenia and Her Majesty the Queen. They were going to the Ministry of International Affairs to discuss some matters today.

Because of the special nature of their identities, the federal government plans to publish their whereabouts, which will deepen the legitimacy of the government-in-exile.

Some people have been criticizing before that the government-in-exile actually has no royal personnel. This cannot be regarded as an orthodox government-in-exile at all.

Some regions are trying to use this as a pretext for appropriating international wealth belonging to governments-in-exile.

Well, now that the Queen is here, those individuals, organizations, regions and even countries that have always been unwilling to recognize the legitimacy of the government-in-exile can no longer find excuses.

If they are still unwilling to return the federal property that originally belonged to Gaevra, the federal government will most likely send troops!

Therefore, the Queen's itinerary is a very important matter, but before it is announced, both parties need to reach a consensus on the scope and some more detailed content.

Lynch, on the other hand, continued his work.

On Wednesday, Lynch invited the young count and a group of people from Skynet Service Company to the test area of ​​the Flight Research Institute on the outskirts of Bupen.

Thanks to Lynch, otherwise they wouldn't be able to enter such a military restricted area.

When they gathered on the runway and saw a transport plane that was completely different from a military aircraft appearing in front of them, they couldn't help but exclaimed!

“Oh my God, it’s so beautiful!”

Sounds like this kept ringing, but Lin Qi didn't think there was anything special.

It's more like an Airbus, looking thicker and bigger.

After all, this military-modified passenger aircraft was originally designed to provide services for military operations. It has a strong carrying capacity and can even fit tanks into it.

So its "belly" is very big.

After the transformation, it was divided into three floors. The first and second floors were the passenger cabin, and the third floor was the cargo cabin.

The entire aircraft, excluding the crew, can accommodate a total of 208 people, including 200 ordinary seats and eight business seats.

The current preliminary plan is that the ticket price for ordinary seats is 220 yuan, and the ticket price for business seats is about 2,000 yuan.

If the occupancy rate is only 60%, the operating income per flight is 26,000 yuan.

Excluding fuel costs ranging from 5,000 yuan to about 12,000 yuan, and various other expenses of about 3,000 yuan, the minimum pre-tax net profit per flight is between 6,000 yuan and 8,000 yuan!

With Lynch's introduction, more and more people started to shine!

To be honest, the fare is really not low. Compared with the train, it is really high.

But it has a fatal attraction for the social classes above the middle class.

Because it is fast and convenient, it takes two to three hours, or three to five hours to arrive from one city to another.

This makes the federation "small"!

It even makes the whole world become smaller!

In the past, a trip that might have taken several days or even longer now only takes one day after the plane appears. These investors have even thought of working across locations!

Then everyone entered the aircraft cabin to observe it in detail, and Lynch also invited them to try a test flight.

Some people are brave and willing to try, and some are timid and dare not try.

But whether you dare to try or not, the plane takes off.

There are also cameras inside that will record the entire flight.

Passengers sitting in the cabin also feel everything the plane brings more truly!

The flight lasted only more than twenty minutes, and the plane landed in the airspace of the flying laboratory for a while.

This is definitely a novel experience for people who have flown, and everyone is very optimistic about this project.

Next, let’s talk about investment.

Because the Flight Research Institute and Blackstone Aviation do not sell the assembly lines and technology to build the aircraft, the aircraft, known as the "Airbus Type 1," can only be purchased from Blackstone Aviation.

The cost is actually not high.

Today's aircraft do not have as many high-tech electronic components as in the future, and most of them are still manually operated.

Therefore, there is not much technical content overall, just the stacking of materials and some patented technologies that are in my own hands.

Each one sells for just over 600,000 federal soles, and this is still a 50-50 profit situation for Mr. Lin.

There is not much that Federal Aviation needs to do here, including formulating routes, renting runways, and how to start business.

It is worth mentioning that the property rights of more than 70% of the runways in the federal territory currently belong to Lynch.

At that time, when Lynch was vigorously promoting the development of the aviation industry, he had already used Nagaril's cheap labor to complete the construction of aircraft foundations in the Federation, Nagaril, parts of Amelia, and all countries and most islands in the Eastern Ocean. .

This project has investment from the military, which accounts for a large part.

But the military doesn't need property rights; what they need is permanent free use rights.

This is equivalent to throwing all the daily maintenance costs to Lynch.

Judging from the time, this was definitely the right approach. If the military did its own maintenance, it would be a considerable expense during non-war times.

But left to Lynch, all they had to do was withdraw the ground crew during non-war times.

You can even skip the ground staff and give it directly to Lynch, without any burden on them!

But from now on, this is a super investment, completed a few years in advance, and will have a huge impact on the aviation world in half the world!

The details of the negotiations were cumbersome, and Lynch established some unchangeable principles, such as the proportion of his equity that could not be shaken.

For example, a portion of outstanding shares should be reserved for listing.

Some details such as this cannot be touched by his interests, and the rest are left to other investors to negotiate on their own.

Once they reached an agreement, the company was announced.

While Lynch was preparing several accounts to collect payments, the Ministry of International Affairs and the government-in-exile of Gefra announced to the outside world that they had welcomed back the last emperor of the Gefra royal family, His Majesty Feline.

The young earl gave up his position, and Her Majesty Feline became the highest leader of the government-in-exile.

As soon as this news came out, it shocked the whole world. Even the royal family was controlled by the Federation. It is conceivable that Gefra is likely to become a territory of the Federation in the future.

The world structure may also change as a result.

Gaevra originally had the strongest sailors, but now he added the productivity and technology of the Federation, as well as their air force.

The future federation will be equivalent to dominating the sea, land and air at the same time!

For a time, these news suppressed the news of the Pengeo War!

The Minister of War, who was considering what to do, made a decision after learning the news that he had already suspected but was still unwilling to believe.

He now has no way to obtain the legal supreme rule of Gefra through the Queen, and the Federation has made no secret of its ambition to control Gefra.

This also means that once the war is over, he will usher in his end.

He was not one to wait for death, he wanted to dig out the hidden royal treasure and leave with it.

This wealth is enough for him to buy a small country and start a new life!

During this period of time, Commander-in-Chief Pengeo in Gefra has been keeping an eye on the Minister of War. In fact, in addition to him, the special operations team of Blackstone Security sent by Lynch is also keeping an eye on him!
