Chapter 338: Too High

The straight-line distance from Dongyang to Mangkang is more than 2,000 kilometers.

Even with the 1,000-kilometer range of the Silver Crane luxury business version, it still needs to land three times to recharge.

The entire journey took a whole day.

However, compared with taking a civil airliner to Chengdu, then transferring to Changdu, and finally taking a seven- or eight-hour car ride to Mangkang, the Silver Crane is much more efficient.

It can even be said to be the most efficient way at present,

no one else.

Even a private jet business jet is useless, because it is impossible for that thing to land in Mangkang.

"Finally arrived..."

Zhang Qing, who had just been awakened by the driver, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief after seeing the narrow and long county town below through the glass.

Although the area of ​​the entire county town is very small when viewed from the air, and even a city within a city in a big city may be larger than it,

but as the crossroads of National Highways 318 and 214, Mangkang County is considered to be relatively developed in the entire Western Zang.

The county has a total population of 80,000 and has created an output value of more than 3 billion. The data in all aspects are almost three times higher than that of Chaou County next to the mountain.

At the same time, because the Jinsha River and the Lancang River run through the entire territory of Mangkang County, the water resources here are very rich.

The state has invested more than 200 billion here and planned 12 hydropower stations with a total installed capacity of 15.281 million kilowatts.

The Suwalong Power Station, which has been put into use, can generate 5.429 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity every year.

So there is no need to worry about electricity.

This is also a major reason why Zhang Qing chose to use this place as a pilot to establish a low-altitude transportation hub.

At this time, a group of leaders had been waiting eagerly beside the open space in front of the Mangkang County Government, and countless pairs of eyes were staring at the slowly landing silver crane.

"Look at his pomp, he is indeed the general manager of Longteng Group..."

"Isn't this Silver Crane Mr. Kang's personal car?"

"I guess it was temporarily lent to Mr. Zhang..."

"..."

The pictures and information about the Silver Crane are actually not a particularly mysterious thing on the Internet. The heavy Silver Crane is not to mention, it is an equipment that the military has officially announced.

And Kang Chi's car has also been photographed and posted online by many people.

However, when the leaders on the scene saw it with their own eyes, they all thought it was much more beautiful than the pictures on the Internet.

When this high-tech aircraft landed on the open ground, they even felt that it was a bit out of tune with the backward scene of Mangkang...

After the plane stopped and the propeller slowly stopped, a group of people immediately stepped forward to warmly welcome Zhang Qing and the advisory group of Song Kongtong.

"Hello, Mr. Zhang. I am Li Enming, the mayor of Changdu. Welcome to Mangkang for inspection!"

"Hello, Mayor Li."

The two had actually communicated on the phone in advance.

Zhang Qing originally thought that it was a small pilot project or a preliminary inspection. It was hard to say whether it could be completely finalized, so she felt that there was no need to alarm the leaders in Changdu City.

As a result, Mangkang took the initiative to report the matter to the superiors, hoping to get the support and support of the Municipal Tourism Bureau, which directly alarmed Mayor Li...

After the two shook hands and exchanged greetings, Li Enming couldn't help but look at the other people who were getting off the plane.

"Is Mr. Kang not here?"

"Well, Mr. Kang is busy recently, but he said that he will definitely come here next time he has the opportunity. It has always been his wish to come to Xizang to experience self-driving tours and see Mount Everest."

Li Enming immediately showed a trace of regret, and hoped that Zhang Qing would go back and tell Kang Chi that he must come to Changdu to sit when he comes to Xizang in the future.

Then he began to introduce the leaders on the scene to Zhang Qing and others.

Mangkang, Zuoxing, Batang, Chaya, Xingjue...

Basically, according to Zhang Qing's request, leaders from several counties around Mangkang were called over.

After the introduction, Li Enming immediately explained: "Because of the landslide at Qierzhuan, the leaders of Basu and Chaou counties are still stuck on the road."

"Is that so... It's really hard for all the leaders this time." Zhang Qing couldn't help but feel a little moved after hearing this.

If the leaders of these two places are still stuck at Qierzhuan, it is estimated that they have been stuck for at least 12 hours, most likely a day and a night...

It is definitely unnecessary to wait for others. After the two sides briefly got to know each other, they followed Zhang Qing's instructions and went to the conference room to explain the specific plan of Dasong Low-altitude Transportation Co., Ltd. to the leaders.

"Low-altitude economy?"

"Short-medium-distance intercity air bus?!"

"Isn't it about aerial sightseeing and parachuting tourism?"

"..."

When the leaders heard Cao Xiaoxiao on the podium talking about the specific plan of Dasong Air Transport, they couldn't help but discuss it.

The main thing is that except for the mayor, county head, and investment director, the rest are all tourism directors...

But according to the plan of Song Kongtong, the one who came should be the transportation bureau.

The main thing is that it is impossible to write down all the specific plans in the initial application letter, which does not comply with the confidentiality clause of the company's business plan.

So it can only roughly mention the investment scale and investment direction, and then put forward specific requirements.

This led to a slight deviation in the leaders' understanding.

But these are just minor problems.

What really surprised them was the 'Cloud Crane' aircraft released by Cao Xiaoxiao!

They saw at a glance that this 'Cloud Crane' was the 'Heavy Silver Crane' announced by the military!

The body shapes of the two are basically the same. The biggest difference may be that the outer shell of Yunhe is painted in white and is not equipped with any weapon system.

As for the internal structure of the cabin, we don’t know yet as there are no pictures released yet.

Seeing the leaders talking about it, Zhang Qing immediately explained: "Dear leaders, I'm sorry, maybe our initial application letter was a bit vague."

"In our company's plan, the initial stage is to establish a short- and medium-distance intercity air transportation network. While assisting the economic development of your remote areas, we also need to ensure basic profits and strive to promote a win-win situation."

“As for tourism and the like, this is something that needs to be considered only after the flow of passengers increases and the market for additional services becomes large enough.”

Li Enming immediately nodded and praised: "Mr. Zhang is indeed far-sighted and understands the principle of making the cake bigger together first."

If they come up and engage in large-scale aerial sightseeing, skydiving, etc., he is a little worried that because there are not so many tourists, they will not be able to do it for a long time.

However, he quickly expressed his concerns: "But the problem is that the cost of the aircraft is too high..."

"You also know that we are relatively poor here, and most people can't afford to fly. It's difficult to guarantee your passenger volume just by relying on our local people, so we may still have to rely on foreign tourists..."

"Should you first consider setting up a route from Bashu and Caiyun provinces? The main thing is to attract tourists from other provinces."

"Wouldn't it be a fight with civil aviation airliners?" Zhang Qing shook her head, "The biggest advantage of our Yunhe is that it can travel short and medium distances within 500 kilometers."

"The construction cost of its airport is very low, so it can quickly establish a dense transportation network between small cities to replace inefficient ground intercity transportation."

"At the same time, because Yunhe is an electric aircraft, its manufacturing and operating costs are actually much lower than traditional helicopters and civil aviation aircraft. Maybe the cost issue that Mayor Li is worried about will turn out to be a surprise..."

Zhang Qing's words immediately aroused strong curiosity among the leaders present.

In fact, the leaders welcome the pilot cooperation proposed by Da Song Kongtong, but they only think that this is an ordinary investment behavior.

They did not regard it as a project that would significantly promote local economic development.

The main reason is that I think airplanes are...

Too tall...

In particular, it is a brand new high-tech aircraft.

In their remote and poor place, such a high-end thing is somewhat acclimatized.

It might be okay if the main user group is targeted at foreign tourists.

But targeting local migrants is somewhat impractical.

But Zhang Qing now said that the price might still be a surprise?
