We are all reborn, who wants to be the richest man?

Chapter 337 Smart Frontier Plan
Hong Kong Island International Airport has become the busiest airport with the largest passenger flow since it was put into use. A large number of foreigners come in and out every day.

The landing of the huge Boeing 737 passenger plane means that a large number of passengers will enter Hong Kong Island, adding to the city's economy.

"Haha, it is still comfortable to sit on a large aircraft like the 737. European airlines should learn from the airlines on Hong Kong Island and update those old aircraft."

"Trini, what do you want in your heart is to replace the planes of European airlines? It should be to replace those bloated flight attendants, right? I can see that you were staring at their legs the whole time except sleeping."

“Hey, is this also part of the airline company?

No matter what, I like AirAsia.”

Asia Harbor Air is the airline founded by Luo Nianzhong.

By the end of last year, Luo Nianzhong's large orders from Boeing had delivered 80 aircraft of various models in accordance with the contract, and the remaining aircraft will be delivered within two years.

With its current fleet of 48 aircraft, AirAsia has surpassed Swire Pacific's Cathay Pacific to become the largest airline in Hong Kong and even Southeast Asia. Its fleet exceeds Cathay Pacific's aircraft, almost doubling its size. .

With a large fleet, there are naturally many routes.

You must have never thought that Cathay Pacific Airways only opened direct flights from Hong Kong Island to England in 1980, right? Flights to Canada were only opened last year.

Although Hong Kong Island is now the financial center of Southeast Asia, there are very few international routes.

The reason is that Cathay Pacific has too few fleets for exclusive business. Many of the fleets fly to Europe today and to the Americas next time. This has also resulted in many international routes having only one flight every week or even ten days.

Now that AirAsia has a large fleet, it will definitely seize a large number of markets in Europe and other countries that have no routes.

For this reason, Swire & Co.'s Swire also expressed his goodwill through Hong Kong independence MacLehose, in order to lift the aviation policy established by the Hong Kong government in 1980, that is, the aviation policy that one route is operated by one airline.

This is an aviation policy introduced by the Hong Kong government in 1980. It means that if a company opens a route first and obtains a license from the Air Transport Licensing Bureau, then other airlines will not be able to fly this route.

At first glance, this rule is beneficial to Cathay Pacific. At that time, Cathay Pacific was the only airline in Hong Kong. Even if a later airline came in, all the good routes would be taken over by Cathay Pacific.

But Cathay Pacific never expected that the person who broke in would be a thug. How could its little daughter-in-law endure it?

Although Cathay Pacific currently controls 90% of the good routes in Southeast Asia and island countries, it is currently beyond the reach of Europe and North America.

If this policy continues to be implemented in this way, the routes to Europe and the United States will definitely be snatched up by AirAsia.

So the Schweizer family approached MacLehose, and MacLehose was willing to sell the favor.

He believed that Luo Nianzhong would definitely agree to abolish this plan because it would be in the best interests of AirAsia in a short period of time.

So on January 1 this year, at the launch ceremony of AirAsia's first flight and Hong Kong Island International Airport, MacLehose abolished this policy.

Luo Nianzhong is also very good at being a good person. He directly named the dedicated cargo runway in the second phase of expansion the MacLehose runway.

The first phase of Hong Kong Island International Airport is basically the same as the one we are familiar with, with two 3800-meter runways and 188 aprons.

But Luo Nianzhong knew that Hong Kong Island International Airport was very busy. Not only did it rank among the top five airports in the world in terms of passenger traffic, it also held the number one spot in terms of cargo volume.

Luo Nianzhong is now vigorously developing the electronics industry on Hong Kong Island, promoting the transformation and upgrading of Hong Kong Island's industry. These products such as chips are very suitable for air transport due to their small size, so even Luo Nianzhong does not dare to estimate the future freight volume of Hong Kong Island.

Because of this, he proposed the construction of the second phase, which will not only add a dedicated runway for cargo, but also add 80 aprons. To put it bluntly, the second phase will be built specifically for cargo aircraft in the future.

MacLehose naturally accepted Luo Nianzhong's intention. There is MacLehose Trail in the New Territories and MacLehose Runway in Lantau Island. He can be regarded as leaving his mark in history.

In the pick-up hall of Hong Kong International Airport, a young woman in uniform stood at the exit holding a pick-up sign.

After a while, a group of old white men in suits and ties, who looked like gentlemen, came over.

When the woman picking up the plane saw the person coming, she took two steps forward and came to the group of old men and asked, "Is this Mr. Gretel?"

"Yes, you are sent by the Far East Group, right? Thank you."

After receiving the reply, the airport pick-up staff smiled and said, "This is what we should do. We also welcome guests from afar. I hope you will have a happy stay in Hong Kong Island and have a good time."

"Haha, if nothing else, Trini should be very happy to have a beautiful girl like you pick her up at the airport."

"Bobby, watch your words," Grete warned, then smiled and said to the pick-up staff, "Let's get in the car first, please lead the way."

"Okay, then please come with me."

……

Yuan Tianfan has been very proud of himself recently. Since the release of Han and Tang mobile phones, this mobile phone brand has quickly seized the global market.

Although major mobile phone brands have been established one after another, Han and Tang mobile phones still firmly occupy the majority of the mobile phone industry by virtue of their first-mover advantage and superior performance.

Not to mention the Island Telephone and Telegraph Company. After merging with the Tai Tung Telegraph Company, the Island Telephone and Telegraph Company began to develop its efforts in Southeast Asia again.

Relying on the customers and channels accumulated by Taitung Cable and Telegraph Company, Hong Kong Island Telephone and Telegraph Company is now the largest communications company in Asia.

This has made Far East Communications a new profitable star in the Far East Group, and its voice in the group has also increased.

No, Yuan Tianfan came to Far East President Welch's office early in the morning, intending to discuss the issue of TDMA substantive testing with Welch. "Here? Are all the people from ETSI on Hong Kong Island?"

Although it was not yet time to go to work, Welch was a workaholic. I dare not say anything else, but few company executives could arrive at the company earlier than him.

So anytime you come to see him for something, he's basically not off work yet or already at work.

Because of this matter, Caroline often fought with him. She felt that he didn't care about the family and didn't know anything about the family and didn't care about it.
However, after Luo Nianzhong gave Caroline a bookstore as a birthday gift, this situation rarely happened.

Sometimes Caroline even left earlier than Welch. She often went on rabbit trips because of some descriptions in Chinese literature, and spent less time at home than Welch.

The tourism industry on both sides was opened last year. In the middle of last year, Rabbit's first Hong Kong Island tour group arrived on Hong Kong Island, making history.

However, there are very few tourists from Hong Kong Island. The key is that the tourist facilities are not perfect and it is very inconvenient.

But this doesn't matter to Caroline who enjoys natural life. She enjoys the authentic feeling of famous mountains and rivers and being completely close to nature.

In addition, many local people will be notified that this foreigner is the wife of Far East President Welch, and they will arrange for someone to accompany and protect her throughout the process.

If she really gets her gratitude for something, if the wind blows in the pillow, I dare not say more, and an investment of tens of millions will probably come.

"They arrived on Hong Kong Island yesterday and arranged to rest at the Grand Hyatt Hotel. They arranged a meeting at 10 a.m."

Yuan Tianfan was not polite after reporting. He picked up the coffee that his secretary had just made and drank it while minding his own business. He also asked her to make another cup for Welch.

"Are you here because of the test on Hong Kong Island?"

"right". Yuan Tianfan put down his coffee with a serious expression.

“I don’t understand why Hong Kong Island was chosen instead of a small European city for such a big thing.

Hong Kong Island is a metropolis where people from all over the world travel. If problems occur, it will have a great impact on the reputation of Far East Communications and the city image of Hong Kong Island."

Welch smiled, not caring at all about the problems he mentioned, and knowing that the other party's reasons were untenable.

"Installing a new base station does not mean dismantling the old one. If there is a problem, it will not cause the entire city's communications to be paralyzed. What you care about is the cost, right?"

Welch exposed it ruthlessly, but Yuan Tianfan didn't show any embarrassment at all.

“I don’t deny that there is at least hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars invested in this.

Money comes second, I just don’t want to be taken advantage of, and I can’t figure it out.”

If the test fails and it is discovered that the currently developed TDMA technology has major technical problems, then Yuan Tianfan's Far East Communications will be taken advantage of.

Luo Nianzhong promised Europe to pay the full amount of this money. For an experiment in such a large city, he wanted the Europeans to spend a large amount of money to share it? Totally impossible.

This is what Yuan Tianfan can't understand, why the group would do this.

"The group has group considerations. You are the president of Far East Communications. There is no problem in considering the issue from Far East Communications' perspective. However, the group cannot only consider your company, but must consider the overall situation."

"So you're going to sacrifice us?" Yuan Tianfan's pressing steps made Welch frown slightly.

"What does it mean to sacrifice you? Don't forget that Far East Communications is able to achieve today's scale only because of the support of the group. Now is the time for you to repay the group."

All of them seem to be Luo Nianzhong's companies. It doesn't matter to him which company loses money and makes money, but it's not the case for every company.

The number of year-end bonuses a company's employees can receive at the end of the year depends on the company's performance. As the boss, Yuan Tianfan should and must fight, not to mention that the amount of profit is related to how loudly he can speak in the group.

Besides, there is nothing wrong with minimizing the cost of testing. If it were a small European city, Yuan Tianfan would just pay without saying a word.

This was for the Far East Communication Testing Technology. He should pay for it, but he couldn't pay it out so unclearly like a fool.

He didn't know that the reason why Luo Nianzhong did this was for his smart frontier plan. He wanted to build Hong Kong Island into an advanced technology city.

Today's 2G, and later 3G, Internet, smart technology, etc., make Hong Kong Island the first thing that all technology companies think of when testing products. This has caused the whole world to form an inertia and let Hong Kong Island become familiar with this feeling. This will give people Hong Kong Island's economy brings unlimited rewards.

If this brand is really left in the hearts of people around the world, not only the technology industry, but also many industries such as tourism, retail, service and even the financial industry will be affected.

For those who travel, who doesn’t want to take a look at the design of the most technologically advanced cities in the world? Who doesn’t want to know how far technology has advanced?

People here need basic necessities of life, right? Is it necessary to purchase the product? You can't bring cash, right? Then a global bank card is necessary.

If these banks want to retain or steal customers, they must at least set up branches on Hong Kong Island, right? Are commercial land prices on Hong Kong Island going to rise again?

Of course, the increase is okay, but it must be reasonable.

Luo Nianzhong's suppression of housing prices does not mean that housing prices will not rise, but that bubbles cannot occur.

This is the first time to test the 2G signal on Hong Kong Island, and the fewer people who know about this plan, the better, so I did not explain it to Yuan Tianfan.

Regardless of whether Yuan Tianfan wants it or not, Welch has the same attitude and will be done with it.
