Through the wealth life

Chapter 674 Kendy Jesse
On the morning of December 12th, Li Guangyu met with Airbus Vice President Kendy Jesse in the conference room.

This is the second time that Kendi Jesse has come to Xiangjiang since September last year. This time, Airbus also hopes to enhance the friendship with the Lee consortium, and also to discuss the purchase of aircraft with them.

Hongkong Airlines under the Lee consortium is currently stepping up the construction of bases in Kuala Lumpur and Bangkok. At present, the [-] Airbus aircraft and [-] Boeing aircraft purchased by the Lee consortium for the first time have all been delivered.

At present, these [-] aircraft are all used in the Hong Kong and Taiwan markets. After the opening of bases in Kuala Lumpur and Bangkok in the future, Hong Kong Airlines will definitely purchase new aircraft to meet the needs of these two bases.

Moreover, this time Cathay Pacific Airways was once again jointly acquired by the Singapore consortium and Lee's interest group. Cathay Pacific Airways is bound to expand and order new aircraft, and they expect Airbus to swallow the orders of these two airlines this time. .

Airbus executives are very happy to cooperate with Li's consortium. The Li's consortium will not default on their payment, and everything will be done according to the contract. As long as the aircraft is delivered, they will pay them according to the contract, which makes them very worry-free.

They are very familiar with the financial resources of the Lee consortium, which can be described as terror. Xiangjiang Airlines purchased so many planes at one time and delivered them in more than a year, but this company not only paid them according to the contract , I have not yet borrowed a penny from the bank, which is unmatched by major airlines.

Cooperating with such a company, they also feel more at ease. They don't need to worry about customers suddenly leaving the aircraft when the aircraft is half built, especially if there are too many, it will be more difficult for them to deal with.

Airbus executives estimated that Xiangjiang Airlines under Li's company will have at least 300 aircraft in the future with the continuous economic development of the mainland and the continuous expansion of the aviation market in the future.

At the same time, Cathay Pacific Airways will also have at least 100 planes. Such two huge companies are enough to make them tempted by Airbus.

They very much hope that Airbus can take orders from the two airlines that will expand later. Therefore, the company has also initiated a project on ultra-long-range passenger aircraft, in order to compete with Boeing 747 in the ultra-long-range market.

This time, he only needed to communicate with Zhao Wenhua, the president of Xiangjiang Air Transport Group. Kendy Jessie could make Li Guangyu deepen his affection for Airbus in the future, so after arriving in Xiangjiang, he came to visit Li Guangyu first.

He knew very well that if Li Guangyu preferred to purchase the aircraft of which manufacturing company, Hongkong Airlines and Cathay Pacific Airways would purchase the aircraft of which company.

After sitting in the reception area, Kendy Jessie said: "Mr. Li, congratulations to Hong Kong Airlines for becoming the top airline in Asia. class of top airlines.”

Now the Asian region is still in the midst of rapid development, and many airlines have not developed. Even Japan’s All Nippon Airways and Japan Airlines currently have not too many aircrafts. As for the mainland, they all belong to Air China, and there are not many at present. The future fleet of China Eastern Airlines and China Southern Airlines has not yet been separated.

In addition to Air China in mainland China, Xiangjiang Airlines is now the only king in Asia. The [-] aircraft currently flying are all the most advanced passenger aircraft at present, and nearly [-] routes have been opened.

Li Guangyu said: "Mr. Jessie, I would like to thank you for your kind words. Our Xiangjiang Air Transport Group is committed to building Xiangjiang Airlines into one of the top airlines in Asia and providing convenient services for the travel of local citizens."

After some courtesies, Kendy Jessie said: "Mr. Li, your Xiangjiang Air Transport Group is currently building air bases in Kuala Lumpur and Bangkok. I don't know if you have plans for purchasing aircraft next year. Customers are very willing to continue the cooperation with you as last time, even the contract can be consistent."

Li Guangyu did not expect Airbus to spend a lot of money. The price of aircraft is rising every year. This time Airbus is still willing to sell at last year's order price. It seems that their determination this time is really big enough, and it is estimated that Airbus sales are not very good.

At present, in the Americas, Oceania and Asia, most of the markets are occupied by Boeing. If Airbus did not rely on the support of these shareholder countries behind, I am afraid that it would have been unable to withstand Boeing's attack.

This time, the Lee consortium gave them hope. As long as Xiangjiang Airlines and Cathay Pacific Airways are willing to purchase their Airbus aircraft, they can increase their influence here. The important thing is to allow Airbus to stop letting the major shareholders behind continue to infuse blood into it.

The reason why they can’t compete with Boeing in the Americas and Asia is that the governments of these regions are following behind the United States, so that their airlines are more willing to purchase Boeing’s aircraft, and their Airbus has lost in this regard. .

Li Guangyu and his airlines are different. They are not run by the government and have enough autonomy. They don't need to be affected as much as those state-owned airlines.

Airbus was established to be able to fight against Boeing. Over the past few years, with the support of major shareholders in Western Europe, they have an advantage there, but they are still in a weak position in other regions. This time They hope to gain advantages in Greater China and Southeast Asia from Li Guangyu, and take advantage of Boeing's market here.

Li Guangyu doesn't have much opinion on whether the company purchases Boeing or Airbus. In his previous life, he remembers that in the major airlines in mainland China, Airbus and Boeing are purchasing, especially Chuanshu Airlines. Their company purchases all Airbus aircraft. , It is said that Ludao Airlines purchases all Boeing aircraft.

Li Guangyu himself didn't have much research on airplanes. For the same type of airplanes, if the price offered there was cheaper, Li Guangyu purchased the airplanes there.

Li Guangyu said: "Mr. Jesse, I also hope to continue this kind of cooperation with you, but I have not received a report from Xiangjiang Airlines about the future development plan of the bases in Kuala Lumpur and Bangkok, so I cannot give you this information for the time being. answer."

Li Guangyu is very clear that this time Kendi Jessie is mainly purchased for Cathay Pacific Airways. The size of the company's aircraft reaches 14 to cope with the company's expansion in Singapore and Jakarta.

As for visiting me, I wanted to take my future orders from Xiangjiang Airlines along the way.

After the establishment of bases in Kuala Lumpur and Bangkok next year, Xiangjiang Airlines will definitely need to purchase new aircraft, and the initial estimate is [-], [-] in Kuala Lumpur and [-] in Bangkok, and the future will increase according to passenger flow and market.

In this regard, Li Guangyu did not plan to negotiate on his own. At that time, the executives of Xiangjiang Airlines will discuss with them and Boeing, and then decide which plane to buy.
