I Want To Be a Rich Man on Hong Kong Island

A group of people visited the catering room of the capital airline catering, and Wu Guangyao found that there were many imported ingredients;

In the era of the planned economy, so many high-end ingredients purchased from abroad are used, obviously because of the "joint venture" model that has the right to "special supply".

Wu Guangyao asked a Hong Kong kitchen manager: "What do you have for Western food?"

"Boss, the western food here includes: fried steak, buttered shrimp balls, roast turkey, foie gras, Japanese-style teriyaki chicken, tempura, etc.!"

"Well, they are all very popular meals! What about Chinese food?"

"Chinese food includes: roast duck, soft fried fish, Wuxi ribs, tofu in a pot, and more high-end Chinese food: sea cucumber with scallions, roasted fish maw, braised shrimp in oil!"

Wu Guangyao nodded, then turned to Chief Shen and said, "I'm drooling!"

Director Shen responded with a smile: "Mr. Wu is a distinguished guest, how about we try the flight food here tonight?"

Wu Guangyao nodded, whether it is delicious or not, you have to taste it to know!

This time Wu Guangyao came to the capital mainly to discuss with the Civil Aviation Administration of the Mainland the issue of flights from the Mainland to Hong Kong.

The issue of air routes was discussed between the Hong Kong government and the mainland, and air routes from Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Hangzhou to Hong Kong were opened;

But regarding the number of flights, Hong Kong Island Airlines and Civil Aviation need to talk!

As for the number of flights, Wu Guangyao must pay attention;

You must know that Cathay Pacific Airways has started to open direct routes to Europe and the United States, and if Hong Kong Island Airlines does not open a few more flights to the mainland, it will seriously affect the development of Hong Kong Island Airlines in the future.

Originally, in history, the route from the mainland to Hong Kong was extremely unequal, with the highest record reaching 9:1;

You know, the strategy implemented by the aviation industry on Hong Kong Island over the years is: as many flights as overseas countries arrange to fly to Hong Kong, Hong Kong airlines will arrange as many flights to overseas countries to establish a peer-to-peer relationship;

At the same time, the strategy implemented also includes the rule of "one airline, one airline". Simply put, only one airline in Japan can be allowed to fly from Tokyo to Hong Kong, and vice versa.

It is precisely because of this peer-to-peer relationship that Hong Kong's aviation industry has achieved great success!

.........

The next day, in the civil aviation conference room.

Hong Kong Island Airlines has officially started negotiations with the Civil Aviation Administration of China on flights from Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Hangzhou to Hong Kong.

The top management of Hong Kong Island Airlines traveling with Wu Guangyao this time is Vice President Chen Dongsheng, and he also started the negotiation;

The reason why Chinese executives are brought here is to let Civil Aviation know that Hong Kong Airlines is a Chinese-funded enterprise, and you cannot bully a patriotic enterprise.

"The reciprocal relationship you mentioned makes no sense at all. Hong Kong is just a region, and we are one country. How can this be reciprocal?" said an old-fashioned civil aviation official.

Obviously, this kind of official has not adapted to the open policy and is wary of capitalists!

"Although Hong Kong is only a region, we are also establishing a city and a city route, and the equality between cities!" Chen Dongsheng responded with a smile.

For example, Hong Kong to Tokyo, Hong Kong to Osaka, Hong Kong Island Airlines has the same number of flights as the whole of Japan.

"Our population is a hundred times that of Hong Kong. Wouldn't it be a disadvantage for us if we established a peer-to-peer relationship?"

"Currently, there are more passengers flying from Hong Kong Island to the mainland!"

The two sides started a war of words and gunpowder, and the meeting room smelled of gunpowder!

The reason why Wu Guangyao dared to compete for more flights was because he was determined that the mainland would try to win him over, and would make certain concessions in this regard;

I didn't really expect the flights to be equal, but at least it was 3:2;

Of course, this ratio is not fixed, and it can be negotiated according to the actual situation in the future!

Director Shen was a little hesitant at this time, and the senior management had brought a message to him beforehand, to unite the overseas Chinese;

But Director Shen also knew that according to Wu Guangyao's performance in the past two or three years, he should not be such a fussy person.

"Mr. Wu, how do you think the flight should be allocated?" Director Shen saw that Chen Dongsheng of Hong Kong Island Airlines was a little bit difficult,

So Wu Guangyao was brought into the negotiation.

Wu Guangyao said with a smile: "As far as I'm concerned, this is just the beginning of the flight, and everyone should be friendly; the flight allocation does not mean that it will always be in accordance with this standard after negotiating today. So, we have to set the deadline within 5 years, so that It might be easier for everyone to negotiate!"

Everyone's eyes lit up, this is undoubtedly a good opening for negotiation!

Then it went much smoother. After two days of discussion, it was decided that the flight ratio was 3:2, and the number of flights in each city was set at 10 flights a week (round trip).

Zhongnanhai

Wu Guangyao and the old man sat together to discuss. Because of Wu Guangyao's identity, reporters were not invited to each discussion between the two, and only a few staff members were present.

Wu Guangyao is not a political speculator, and he only came to the mainland for business.

After all, I also have a huge industry in the UK, and the industry in Europe and America is even bigger;

Wu Guangyao would not be willing to be a red agent like Lao Huo.

"I heard that you proposed to the Guangdong provincial government to invest 20 billion Hong Kong dollars in infrastructure projects?" the old man said kindly.

Wu Guangyao nodded and said, "Yes, but the Guangdong provincial government hasn't given me an answer. I don't need any return on my investment. These infrastructure projects will be handed over to the state after the cost is recovered."

Seeing Wu Guangyao's tone of complaining about Guangdong Province's ineffectiveness in handling affairs, the old man also began to think seriously.

After a few seconds, the old man said: "We are crossing the river by feeling the stones, so we inevitably have to think a lot. However, the comrades in Guangdong Province have reported your investment to the central government, and the central government supports it; the patriotism of you compatriots in Hong Kong and Macau , is also touched. So, don't worry, there will be an approval soon."

Wu Guangyao nodded happily, and finally heaved a sigh of relief!

This time Wu Guangyao proposed to Guangdong Province to invest in four major projects at the same time, namely: Guangzhou-Shenzhen Expressway, Guangzhou-Zhuhai Expressway, Nanhai Hotel in Shekou, and Shajiao Power Plant.

With such a large investment, the government, which has just recovered from ten years of turmoil, dares to agree;

So much so that after applying for two months, it is still under discussion!

But since the old man is interviewing him at this time, he must pass it soon!

"That's great! As the saying goes - if you want to get rich, build roads first. Only when the transportation in Guangdong Province is convenient can you develop a good economy. And when some foreign friends come to inspect, they can't be wronged to live in guest houses; and electricity More importantly, it is related to the operation of various fields.”

When the old man heard it, he caught the words of his hope!

"Your 'If you want to get rich, build roads first' is very good, it suits us very well!"

"Thank you for your affirmation!"

The old man continued: "I have been paying attention to the aviation catering in Beijing! The first joint venture is a good sign. A single spark can start a prairie fire, and soon our joint ventures will increase. You always help the mainland, Do you have any ideas for joint ventures in other major projects?"

Wu Guangyao nodded and said, "There are too many fields that can be joint ventures, such as color picture tubes, automobiles, machinery..."

It can be said that Wu Guangyao's industries are enough to support a medium-sized country!

Hearing this, the old man said with a smile: "It seems that I still don't know enough about you. You also have knowledge in the automotive field?"

Wu Guangyao said generously: "As an investor, my family office has invested in the restructuring plan of the British auto industry. Therefore, I can be a bridge to let some British auto brands invest in China; although the British auto industry has declined. , but technology has not declined, only marketing has declined..."

When the old man heard this, he said happily: "Okay! You should let them come to China for inspection!"

Wu Guangyao nodded and said, "I will! And I will let them come with sincerity!"

In the previous life, the joint venture car was a long process. Volkswagen and Continental just negotiated dozens of times, and it took a full four years.

Many of the reasons why the negotiations took so long are because the mainland's policy is unclear at this time;

But Wu Guangyao knew that the subsequent policies were becoming more and more open, so those who had negotiated earlier could still enjoy the new policies in the future.

That being the case, why not make some concessions at first;

Not only can you seize the opportunity, but also gain a friendship;

In this way, the Wu family's automobile field will advance by leaps and bounds like an open car!

Wu Guangyao intends to let the Jaguar brand enter the mainland first and produce classic models like the 'Santana';

I believe that this can give the public a severe blow!

The old man finally said: "Don't worry all the time, things will always be resolved; so, hurry up and let your company come to China for negotiations, and strive to reach an early cooperation!"

It can be seen that the old man is very concerned about Wu Guangyao's investment in the mainland in recent years;

In fact, Wu Guangyao could use his influence to launch some joint venture projects earlier, but Wu Guangyao did not do so;

In addition to aid, it is still aid, but the things that are aided are, after all, some infrastructure projects and backward technologies;

Therefore, the old man encouraged Wu Guangyao to be bold!

Encouraged by the old man, Wu Guangyao was full of pride;

"Don't worry, when I go back this time, I will call my company to come to the mainland for inspection, and strive to reach an early cooperation!"

"That's right! For you, we are very sincere, and we also know that you are a patriotic businessman; so, worry less and be bolder! The country needs you!"

The phrase "the country needs you" made Wu Guangyao very excited!
