Didn't you say that we would lose money after filming?

If you want to start the "Lovers' Journey" plan, there will be a lot of preparations to do in the early stages.

First of all, it takes at least three months to complete an aircraft maintenance, and this is after taking into account a variety of factors, so as to maximize the progress and achieve the fastest efficiency.

Then, taking advantage of this time, Xia Yuan and Tang Ying went to the aviation school together and started studying.

It must be said that flying a plane is indeed a difficult thing. It is not as simple as imagined. After Xia Yuan entered the aviation school, the daily study made his brain a little anxious.

But fortunately, there is a senior student to help me.

Xia Yuan had never thought that his wife was so awesome. It was all thanks to his senior that he was able to keep up with the progress.

And then on top of that, a lot of purchasing has to happen.

For example, some necessities on the plane, some equipment that may be used during the journey, emergency food, etc., all of these need to be taken into consideration.

Xia Yuan first purchased a large amount of convenience foods and canned foods, as well as some things needed in the wild, such as tents, fishing rods, pots, first aid kits, etc.

Except for not being able to equip the plane with weapons, he equipped it with basically everything he could think of.

After all, many of their targets this time are in the wild and some places that can be called adventures, which involve certain life safety risks, so they must be prepared in terms of safety to ensure that the probability of danger is minimized.

Time passed day by day, and soon, it was half a year later.

During the past six months, they have been preparing for the upcoming trip, and spending time with their children in their spare time.

Jia Jia is now one year old. The little kid who used to be so small has grown up a little and can already speak and walk slurredly.

Now Jia Jia has become the apple of the family's eye. Both sets of parents like this pretty little cute baby very much. Even the relatives on both sides have seen Jia Jia. It can be said that her popularity index is very high.

It was even difficult for Xia Yuan and Tang Ying, the two parents, to get a turn, as they were held tightly in the hands of several elderly people.

It feels like when Tang Ying was raised as a child, he was heading in a lawless direction.

And the little one is very smart. He said his first word at eight months old.

It was obviously Dad!

Then at ten months old he could walk with support.

At one year old, he was able to walk short distances without hand support.

And today, half a year later, not long after Xia Yuan and Tang Ying celebrated Jia Jia’s first birthday, the most important time node arrived.

Their round-the-world travel plan "Lovers' Journey" is finally ready and they can set off!

With Tang Ying's help, Xia Yuan finally got his pilot's license and driving qualification.

However, at the beginning, due to insufficient flight safety hours, he could only board the plane as co-pilot.

Only after he has accumulated more than 200 hours in the flight safety market can he fly a plane alone as a formal captain.

They arrived in Shangjing early this morning.

They will depart from Shangjing, and their first stop will be the Russian Federation.

Then they will go all the way up to Europe, then to the Middle East, then to Africa, and so on. The crew members they recruited have all arrived. They are all veteran pilots who once served in the Air Force and then entered the civil aviation system. They were also hired at a high price.

In Xia Yuan's words, now that they have airplanes, these crew members are still useful even after the filming of "Lovers' Journey". At worst, they can directly enter the civil aviation field, buy a few more passenger planes, and set up a civil aviation company.

Moreover, this industry is truly a bottomless pit. Even in the real industry, it is very difficult to deal with.

All the domestic civil aviation companies are now making losses year after year, and none of them are making any money.

After all, this industry is related to people's livelihood. Even if it loses money, the country has to invest money to keep it going.

So, isn't this the money-losing business they have been looking for?
How many industries have they entered to try to lose money? Is this one more?

Xia Yuan is a little confused now. How unprofessional is he as a director? Now when he goes out, more people call him Mr. Xia than those who call him Director Xia.

He seems to be gradually moving towards becoming a businessman.

But he is not panicking at all now, because he has already planted a lot of landmines in the company, even though these new industries seem to be unable to lose money now.

But things like industry cannot be concluded overnight, but are a long-term process. He is now waiting to see when all the landmines he has buried will explode at once.

Then, he and his senior sister can get a lot of rebates.

It's simply a plan.

As for whether there would be a financial crisis or not, he was not worried at all.

As the saying goes, when doing business, the most feared thing is that the tail is too big to be cut off, and there are few profit points.

The new industries he chose, coupled with the decisions he made, have compressed profit margins to an extreme.

For example, for online novels, he chooses to let people read them for free, and the profit point is only to retain the minimum advertising revenue.

Then there is the cinema chain, and the same is true for the Heye Pictures business. He chose to position all stores as high-end services, and even provide some overflow services that are not available in the industry.

This will result in a huge waste of manpower and resources, and the costs cannot be recovered.

Then the price of movie tickets was set at the lowest level, directly at the floor level of the entire industry.

In addition, he made a decision that went against his ancestors and was even a bit treasonous.

That is, he gives away for free the popcorn and drinks that are sold at very high prices as part of other cinema chains!
Just like the all-you-can-eat buffet with your ticket, at Heye Cinema, you can also get free popcorn and cola, as well as some other snacks while watching the movie, with your ticket.

You know, popcorn has always been closely tied to movie theaters. If you don't eat some popcorn when watching a movie, you will always feel like something is missing. Moreover, this seemingly small and inconspicuous popcorn actually accounts for a large part of the movie theater's profit.

Didn't expect it? This thing is just that awesome.

However, Xia Yuan's decision was like taking a knife and chopping it directly into his body. Not only was he merciless, he also specifically aimed at cutting the aorta.

If he enters the civil aviation industry in the future, he will also choose this operation.

A lot of mines have been buried, and they are all very deadly. It just depends on when they will explode.

But there is one particularly important thing (end of this chapter)
