Xia Ruiguo's Audi A6 ran happily along the airport at high speed.
Along the way, Xia Ruiguo guessed many possibilities. The most likely one was that the young president wanted to talk to him about the hangar at Zhongyun Airport.
Ever since Monster Industries bought the two transport planes, the two transport planes had never been idle.
The two transport planes carried goods in the sky all day long at full capacity. Naturally, the hangar where they were placed and the warehouse used to store these goods were quite important. Monster Industries had the money to rent the hangar for a year, but wouldn't it be more cost-effective if they could grit their teeth and buy the entire hangar?
Other than this, Xia Ruiguo couldn't think of anything else related to Monster Industries.
Half an hour later, Xia Ruiguo arrived at the Monster Industries building. Under the warm reception of two employees, he smoothly met the owner of the Peregrine Falcon, the legendary Mr. Ye.
Xia Ruiguo was very happy to meet him up close for the first time, but he wasn't too excited. After the greetings, Xia Ruiguo sat on the sofa with a little excitement in his heart.
Everyone in the Zhongyun Airport knew the name of Monster Industries. Not only the flashy Peregrine Falcon, but also the two busy transport planes. Last time, hundreds of private planes and cargo planes from all over the world gathered at the airport. There were also hundreds of chartered planes flying to Europe from the night until the next morning. The shocking scene was created by this company.
While sipping tea, the two of them chatted after the greetings.
Ye Qing sat across from him and smiled at the man who was much older than him. "Manager Xia, I see that there is a large open space on the west side of the airport. Does that land belong to your airport?"
"It belongs to the airport, but our airport has no right to deal with this land." Xia Ruiguo said seriously, "Mr. Ye, you know that the ownership of Zhongyun Airport is more in the hands of our local government. However, the Civil Aviation Administration has blocked all the projects at the airport. We have always wanted to use that land to expand the two runways. However, the Civil Aviation Administration has not approved it, saying that the passenger and cargo traffic of Zhongyun Airport has not reached the standards for runway expansion. "
"If it doesn't reach the standards, it means that it will lose money after opening it."
"There are strict restrictions on the height of buildings around the airport, so we can't expand the runway. There's no point in doing anything else, so it's been left empty."
"Then what about building a helipad or a logistics warehouse?" Ye Qing nodded.
"Then there's naturally no problem with the approval." Xia Ruiguo revealed an embarrassed smile. "We have always wanted to upgrade Zhongyun Airport to an international airport, but the Civil Aviation Administration has always been unwilling. That's why it's stuck here. "
"Mr. Ye, think about it. If we're going to build a runway now, we're definitely going to build one of the best international runways. That way, it won't make sense if it's not upgraded to an international airport."
"But building hangars and warehouses doesn't even require approval. Anyway, the land is in the hands of the airport, as long as there is a need for it. "
"Does Mr. Ye have a need for this?"
Xia Feiguo was slightly surprised. On the way here, he had guessed that this young CEO wanted to buy the hangar. He was also mentally prepared for this. Although the airport would earn a lot less, who asked Monster Industries to be Zhongyun's God of Wealth?
Even if he didn't agree, the government would take the initiative to send the contract to him. At most, they would play around the edges and make the contract into a low-priced rental contract for many years.
Did he want to build a separate hangar?
Other companies definitely wouldn't even think about it, but Monster Industries shouldn't be a problem.
"No, I want to …" Ye Qing put down his teacup, paused for a moment, and said seriously, "I want to build an airport."
Xia Ruiguo obviously wasn't mentally prepared for this. Building an airport naturally required planes, planes …
He was stunned for a few seconds before he said uncertainly, "Mr. Ye … is President Ye interested in building an airline company?"
If someone else said this in front of him, he would definitely take it as a joke, but the person in front of him really had the ability.
So Xia Ruiguo slowed down his speech and said thoughtfully, "Hua Xia is still very open in the field of civil aviation, because the aviation business is mainly responsible for international communication. We don't have much say in international aviation, so we can directly connect with international standards. "
"It's just that Mr. Ye, as far as I know, there are a total of 15 private enterprises in Hua Xia that have established airlines. But from the first commercial operation in 2005, Okai, to the present, most of the private airlines have gone bankrupt. "
"There are many reasons for the bankruptcy. On the one hand, aviation is just too expensive. Mr. Ye, your company has three planes, and you know how expensive these three planes are. So just the planes alone require tens of billions of investment. "
"The planes have to be profitable when they buy them, so some civil aviation companies try to save money. Not only do they save on labor costs, but they also save money on fuel and logistical maintenance. "
"In this province, the safety of passengers may be affected. People who can fly are more or less more knowledgeable than ordinary people. In addition, the Internet is now developed, and the reputation and quality of service provided by various airlines can easily be spread to the ears of passengers."
"Over time, passengers naturally prefer to take Air China's flights."
"But I think Mr. Ye is interested in building an airline company, and it must be in the field of cargo transportation. Among the domestic private airlines, there is one that focuses on cargo transportation, and SF Airlines is doing very well. "
"We have plans to set up an airline company. Not only do we want to build an airport, but we also want to build our own planes." Ye Qing was not surprised that the other party's eyeballs were about to pop out.
Building an airport was simple, and building a plane was simple. Hua Xia had worked hard in this area for decades, but they had not achieved anything.
Xia Ruoguo was also the person in charge of the airport, so of course, he knew the technical difficulties better than anyone else. Now that he heard him say that he wanted to build a plane, it was normal for him to be dumbfounded and in disbelief.
"Manager Xia, don't be too surprised. We have plans in this area, but we definitely won't be like those unreliable small companies that boast that we want to build a plane."
"I'm not too sure whether we can build a plane or not. But building an airport and an airline company is not difficult, so it will be put on the agenda first. "Ye Qing did not dare to say that he was only 99% sure. He had to keep a low profile.
"It's just that we have no experience in building an airport and establishing an airline company."
Xia Ruoguo held his breath for a long time and finally let it out. He rubbed his face and quickly promised that there was no problem in these two areas. He could provide both experience and help in the approval.
But in the end, the Civil Aviation General Administration might not approve the land next to it to Monster Industries because the two airports could not be so close.
He had seen engineers from Monster Industries participate in the daily maintenance of the three planes at the airport more than once. Not to mention other things, no mechanics in the airport dared to maintain the Peregrine Falcon, which had the ability to fly at supersonic speed. They also did not have the skills to do so.
In addition to the economic strength of Monster Industries, he certainly believed that the airline company they set up in the future would be the number one civil aviation company in the country, even if they spent a lot of money.
"Mr. Ye, you really do need an airline company. In the past six months, you have chartered hundreds of flights."
"My heart aches when I see that the money is earned by outsiders."
The airport was the airport, and the airline was the airline.
Take Zhongyun City Airport as an example. They only provided a place for planes belonging to different airlines to take off and land.
There was also logistics, fuel, maintenance, passengers, and cargo.
Even if there were 10,000 planes landing here, it would still be the airlines that earned the most money. The airport only earned the hard-earned money.
If Monster Industries bought dozens of cargo planes to transport goods, not only would they not lose money, but they would also make a lot of money.
Xia Ruoguo felt that their company's own goods alone could allow these planes to fly every day. Other people wanted to do air transportation business, but they might not do it.
It was just that Xia Ruoguo's idea was too conservative.
