"Brother-in-law, can you tell me the details? Why do you want to set up your own airline?" Feng Yu asked after reaching home.
Actually, Feng Yu had always wanted to set up an airline. First, he will have his own private jet, and he does not need to use China Airlines. It will be more convenient for him to travel.
Secondly, every time Taihua Holdings's executives travel, especially for business negotiations, they will hire a team. It is better to set up their own commercial airline. Wind and Rain Holdings bought a small airline in the US for the convenience of traveling within the company.
The main modes of transportation in the United States are planes and cars. As for trains, you can understand the trains in the United States as the green trains in China, which are slow trains.
Until Feng Yu's rebirth, the US does not have any high-speed trains. They have good roads and many airlines, and there is no room for high-speed trains to survive.
For example, if Hua Xia has 1.2 billion fewer people, the trains will not be so crowded. If Hua Xia has so many mature airlines, the trains will not need to speed up.
In fact, investing in the construction of railways is more expensive than investing in airlines. But it is undeniable that railways can carry more passengers than airlines. With so many people in Hua Xia, the airlines will not be able to handle it.
Li Shiqiang flicked his cigarette ash and said. "I saw on the news that our country's first private airline has started operating. They only spent 300 million RMB, and the airline can start operating. Let me do some calculations. I have about enough money now." Li Shiqiang said.
"Ever since SF Logistics started air transportation, their business in the South is better than the postal service. We are only able to compete with the postal service in the North. If we have air transportation, we can unify the North and snatch the markets in the Central and South! "
In the past, Li Shiqiang could not even earn 300 RMB a month. Now, 300 million RMB is nothing in his eyes.
When he separated from Feng Yu, he got this logistics company. Now, he is a famous boss. Although he knows he will never be able to surpass his brother-in-law, it is his wish to be the best in the industry.
Even if he cannot compete with Feng Yu, he can still compete with others. It was fine if he lost to the post office, but how could he be willing to lose to another private logistics company? Obviously, Wind and Rain Logistics had opened earlier.
Isn't it just air transport? If you can do it, I can do it too, and I can do it better than you!
"Brother-in-law, let me remind you. You can't operate air transport just because you have money and can afford a plane. First, you have to have a good and experienced pilot. "
It was important for an airline to have financial strength, but Feng Yu felt that the most important thing was to have a pilot who was directly responsible for the safety of the airline. It was just like how many years of driving experience was required for a bus driver.
Airline pilots were not so easy to groom. They might even need to poach people from China Airlines.
Of course, he could train his own co-pilot.
Two or three people were enough for a cargo plane. However, the pilot had to be experienced, and the money could not be saved.
"I know. We have a few instructors at the Aviation Factory. Now, the aircraft business here had stopped, and it is mainly small planes and helicopters. Some of the instructors are still idling, and they are not at retirement age yet. Many of them have experience in flying large or medium-sized planes. It should not be a problem for them to be the pilot. "
Feng Yu was surprised. Seems like his brother-in-law did not do this on a whim. He had thought about this for a long time.
"You did not only contact the Aviation Factory, right?" Feng Yu laughed and asked.
"Of course. I had contacted a few airlines, and we can also recruit from the universities to be our co-pilots. After 10 years, they will be good pilots!" Li Shiqiang was excited.
He had thought about this for a long time, and he felt that this was a good idea. Also, they were doing the cargo business, and they do not need to worry about there being no passengers. Their contract with the railway department was about to expire next year, and they could reduce the number of passengers.
Feng Yu asked: "Brother-in-law, how many experienced pilots can you poach?"
"Ah? We only need 7 to 8 pilots now, right? Our initial plan is to buy 6 to 8 cargo planes. If we open up the distribution channels in the South, then we can double the number of planes. "Li Shiqiang looked at Feng Yu. Do we need a lot of pilots? Didn't Li Shiqiang say that he can use newbies or inexperienced pilots?
"No, Brother-in-law. What I mean is, how many pilots can you poach? What I'm saying is that I'm confident. "
"At most, I had contacted a few airlines and the Aviation Factory's instructors. We should be able to poach about 15 to 16 pilots. What's wrong? Do we need two experienced pilots on every plane? This is not what Old Hou had told me before. "
"Old Hou? Which Old Hou? "Feng Yu's sharp senses told him that Li Shiqiang must have someone powerful backing him up.
"Ah, it's the previous Director of the Aviation Factory. You know him, right? He retired in March this year."
Hou Haitao? He was the one behind all this? No wonder Brother-in-law can contact so many pilots. It should be because of Old Hou.
Feng Yu does not know that Old Hou had retired. The last time he called Old Hou was during Lunar New Year.
"Him? If he is here to help you, then this matter will be much simpler. Oh, is Old Hou in Bing City? "Feng Yu thought for a while. It's been a while since he met Old Hou.
"Yeah, I'll call him out. Let's have dinner together?"
"Ok. I can have a chat with him." Feng Yu had some ideas and wanted to consult this professional.
"Danying, Xiao Yu and I will not be having dinner at home tonight. We have an appointment with Old Hou." Li Shiqiang called his wife.
"Xiao Yu had just returned. Bring him out for a drink. Both of you should drink less." Feng Danying reminded.
"Sis, don't worry. I will look after Brother-in-law." Feng Yu replied.
Feng Danying knew very well that her brother didn't like to drink. She chatted with Li Shiqiang for a while more before hanging up.
"Your sister works at the hospital every day. Luckily, I persuaded her not to do everything by herself." Li Shiqiang's eyes were filled with love when he said this.
Even when she was busy at the hospital, his wife would still return home to cook, do the laundry, and tidy up the house. She was someone who could not stay idle.
But Li Shiqiang felt that his wife was too tired. He tried to hire a housekeeper, but his wife refused. She said that she was not used to having outsiders at home. This kind of life was not bad.
"Brother-in-law, what are you thinking about?" Feng Yu waved his hand in front of Li Shiqiang.
"Nothing. I will call Old Hou to make an appointment."
