Chapter 180: The spoiler in the airline industry, playing another game of Infernal Affairs?
"Do you want to shine for Dragon Kingdom's aviation industry?"
Representative Xiao couldn't help but sigh that Mr. Wang has high political awareness.
With the Wang Group and the Bailong Consortium supporting Longguo’s aviation industry, the development of civil aviation will surely usher in a golden cycle.
"Shine and heat" is not a derogatory term at this time. The reason why Representative Xiao expressed such emotion is,
This is entirely because Longguo's civil aviation business has just started, with only two international routes and few airports.
It is not an exaggeration to say that Wang Lei has a high level of consciousness for being able to step forward.
“I am very optimistic about the development of Air China, China Eastern Airlines and China Southern Airlines.
Our country is a big country with a population of one billion. The total turnover of civil aviation transportation is currently only 36 billion ton-kilometers. It will be a matter of time before it exceeds 80 billion ton-kilometers in the future.
China Eastern Airlines’ new Tokyo route is a testament to the rapid expansion of civil aviation.
If I could invest in an airline, I should say I missed it. "
Representative Xiao nodded. Wang Lei was right. Civil aviation is expanding at an extremely rapid rate.
Today's civil aviation industry is far from being able to meet the needs of the public.
In particular, opening up international routes requires large passenger aircraft, which can cost hundreds of millions of dollars. Such a large cost is the biggest obstacle to the development of civil aviation.
The 25 Boeing 747 passenger planes have a fatal attraction for the three major civil aviation companies.
Wang Lei's proposal to invest in aircraft shares does have a lot of room for operation. Although it is impossible for Wang Lei to hold a controlling stake, it is entirely possible to hold 20% of the equity.
Thinking of this, Representative Xiao asked curiously:
"Which civil aviation companies do you want to invest in?"
"Air China, China Eastern Airlines, China Southern Airlines, Sichuan Airlines, United Airlines..."
Listening to Wang Lei reporting the name of the dish, which he had listed all over Longguo Airlines, Representative Xiao's expression became extremely exciting.
As expected of Mr. Wang, I really dare to think that I want to buy the entire civil aviation network.
"Mr. Xiao Wang, stop it. 25 Boeing 747s are far from enough. Why don't you focus on investing in one or two companies so that I can apply to the superiors?"
"Isn't that enough? I can use US dollars to invest in the shares. I don't have many requirements. It's enough for each company to hold 10% of the shares."
Representative Xiao twitched his lips. He just praised this kid for his high level of consciousness. Do you really not understand what he meant?
He didn't want to dampen Wang Lei's investment enthusiasm, so he said tactfully:
"We will consider your proposal. You should also act quickly. I am waiting for your good news in Kyoto."
When he was about to hang up the phone, Representative Xiao suddenly remembered something and reminded him kindly:
"Mr. Xiao Wang, have you ever considered opening a purely private airline in the mainland?
In this way, it is more legitimate for you to invest in other airlines. "
Of course Wang Lei refused in his heart. He didn't want to directly run an airline. Wouldn't it be better to make money with a big airline? Starting his own business would risk bankruptcy.
"Thank you, Representative Xiao, for reminding me. I will ask Ni Pingnan to register an aviation management company later to be responsible for managing the equity of these airlines."
"This is also a way."
After hanging up the phone, Wang Lei called Ni Pingnan's desk.
"Brother Lei, what are your orders?"
After a long time, Ni Pingnan answered the phone.
"Are you in a meeting?"
"Yes, we are discussing the latest list of the Dragon and Tiger List with Wang Real Estate. The whole conference room is filled with smoke and smoke. I just happened to take advantage of your call to come out and get some fresh air."
"Haha, thank you for your hard work. Next time you can take the lead and light a cigarette to fight fire with fire.
Having said that, the Dragon and Tiger List is already in its third issue. "
"Yes, Brother Lei, the Dragon and Tiger List you created is already famous.
Many overseas students are proud of being on the list, which makes Sanshi more competitive in the battle with large overseas companies to grab people. "
Hearing that the Dragon and Tiger List had such a far-reaching effect, Wang Lei nodded repeatedly.
"Ping Nan, you just happened to help me find some aviation professional management talents. I plan to set up an aviation management company."
"Okay, Brother Lei, are we going to enter the aviation industry?"
"Yes, after registering the company, I plan to launch an acquisition of Pan Am Airways."
Ni Pingnan had naturally heard of Pan American Airlines and sighed:
“That was the number one airline in the beautiful country, but I heard that it recently filed for bankruptcy protection and no one has taken over.
Do you think it's strange that the United States has such a big airline company that it just ignores the situation and does nothing to save it? "
Wang Lei can understand that the US government does not pay attention to regulatory policies to protect its major airlines.
Because the airline is not a financial management institution and does not involve the interests of a few major families, it can naturally sit back and ignore it.
"Well, you have one more burden on your shoulders. You will be responsible for presiding over the acquisition of Pan American Company."
Ni Pingnan immediately put away his smile and responded: "Okay, I promise to complete the task."
His words reminded Wang Lei that if Wang directly acquired Pan American, he would definitely be blocked by competitors. Even if he bought Pan American, it would be a sky-high price.
Thinking of this, he felt that it was not safe to let Sanshi go for the acquisition. It would be easy for anyone who wanted to find out the relationship between the two.
Wang Lei called Robert's desk again.
"Hey, Robert, you haven't rested yet."
"No, the security situation in the beautiful country has been a bit bad recently. My wife Nancy and I are organizing people to move overnight."
"Then you really need to be careful. Where do you plan to move?"
After Robert got rich, he never moved out of his original community and bought a small villa in a middle-class area.
But it is undeniable that Robert is very crisis-conscious and has smelled the smell of gunpowder in the air.
“We bought a beach house on Long Island.”
Changdao has beautiful scenery and excellent natural conditions. It is surrounded by islands on three sides, has fine beaches, and ancient castles of various styles.
The most important thing is that it is close to Queens and only 20 kilometers away from the most prosperous Manhattan.
"Well, that location is indeed good. You are now a rich man listed in Forbes, so you can't be as arrogant as before."
"Boss, what do you want from me? Nancy is calling me."
"Then let me make a long story short. I am interested in Pan Am Airways. In the name of Cayman Capital, you can first explore the tone of local officials and wait and see what happens."
"Do you want to continue running Pan Am instead of buying their assets at a low price? As far as I know, Citibank has revalued Pan Am's net assets, and the situation is very bad, and it is very likely that it will be insolvent."
“I think there is still room for maneuver in Pan American’s stock price.
Being insolvent might also be a good thing, as we would have fewer competitors.
I have noticed that if the operation is successful, you can get a big advantage. "
