What the hell is a private enterprise?

Chapter 51 Dawan Fisheries
As soon as Tang got off the car, he learned about the extremely terrible incident that happened a few days ago where the commander was kidnapped.

Feeling scared, Tang Yi immediately asked for additional security for Tang Wen.

The two best guards in the shipyard were both transferred to be Tang Wen’s personal bodyguards, which at least could directly eliminate any close-range danger.

Tang Wen did not object to this, after all, his life was still very precious.

What if you encounter danger at a distance?
That would be even simpler. If there was a real crisis, Halsey could just lead the Hornet and launch a powerful air strike.

Of course, this is just a thought. Today's society is not so chaotic that we have to wear bulletproof vests when going out. As long as we take more precautions, nothing will happen.

After discussing security issues, Tang Wen asked about the plane.

"The airport said it was difficult."

Tang Yi stated the conclusion he had drawn from his inquiry at Pingtan Airport yesterday:
"I asked the airport, and they said there are actually no clear regulations on private aircraft. Individuals can get a pilot's license, but operating an aircraft normally is very complicated.

Furthermore, Pingtan Airport has certain military cooperation and cannot be opened to us."

Yesterday, Tang Yi rushed to Pingtan Airport and directly approached the person in charge to say that he wanted to arrange a private plane, leaving the airport confused.

The supervisor there had never seen such a thing before, so he took the opportunity to check the regulations, and then gradually discovered that it was not feasible.

The country's aviation market is not very prosperous now, and it has not yet escaped military control.

A large number of airports across the country are basically dual-use military and civilian, especially those near the coast, which are subject to stricter controls.

Regarding private aircraft ownership and the formal application procedures, there are no complete regulations in place, and responsibilities are not clear.

Private jets are still a rare concept in China, and few wealthy people can operate their own flights. If they do use one, it must be operated by a private airline.

But this is more complicated. Airlines need to undergo regular inspections and qualification approvals, which is complicated and extremely expensive.

Tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of dollars cannot make any waves in the aviation market, and the cost is staggering just thinking about it.

Moreover, when an aircraft is docked at the airport, it must pay regular fees based on its size, number of passengers, noise level, floor space, etc. It also needs to apply for a route from air traffic control for takeoff to avoid interfering with normal flights and dispatches, which of course also requires payment.

Not only are the procedures complicated, but the airport is also unwilling to take on this kind of business.

The director of Pingtan Airport was just studying something new with Tang Yi, but when he found it too complicated, he shook his head and refused.

By the way, he also gave Tang Yi a very thick volume of aviation management safety regulations as a gift. It had hundreds of pages and it was difficult to hold it in his hands.

“Is this not feasible?”

Tang Wen was a little disappointed. Twenty years later, with the development of the economy, he saw in short videos that it was not that troublesome for others to place small private planes, and the cost was not that exaggerated.

"Airport placement is basically not feasible, but if it's not an airport, maybe it's possible."

"What do you mean?"

Tang Yi continued to say that the airport manager asked him what the plane was going to be used for, and Tang Yi said it was for sightseeing.

After discovering that the airport was not operational, the supervisor came up with an idea:

"You just want to fly a small plane for fun, right? Actually, airplanes aren't necessarily only licensed to be operated at airports. If it's a private company... the most convenient option would probably be a travel agency. I know quite a few local travel agencies that can operate small planes.

If you can cooperate with a scenic spot or tourist resort, operate it under the name of sightseeing, and actually fly it yourself, it will be much easier and the procedures will be much simpler.

If you can afford a private jet, you probably don’t need this little money.”

Tourism? Tang Wen didn't expect that his casual remark would become a breakthrough. Helicopters and small sightseeing planes are not uncommon in tourist areas, and he hasn't heard of any of them being too complicated.

The planes on the Hornet are not very big, so they are quite suitable for sightseeing.

As for the tourist resort... I think Dayuan Village is very suitable!

It is close to the sea, with beautiful scenery, simple culture, abundant food, and even complete facilities - Da Wan Port was originally used to provide vacation supplies for warships, and vacation is its job.

What's more, sightseeing flights are operated right at your doorstep, so you don't have to go to the airport.

More importantly... developing a tourist area only requires dealing with local leaders, but going through the airport requires facing the air force, which makes it easier to be coordinated.

"Chief Engineer Tang Yi, you did a great job!
Didn’t you go buy some books? How did you get them this time? "

Tang Wen was not stingy with his praise, and then he listened to Tang Yi:
"The book didn't cost me anything, and I helped the Commander make a friend."

"Oh, that girl?"

Tang Wen thought to himself that he was now an entrepreneur. He was thinking about how to tell the female college student in a serious tone, "I'm sorry, you're still young and don't understand love." But Tang Yi made a big turn:
"It's her grandfather, a senior sailor. He's very happy that you also like naval history, and he said he would come and talk to you when he has time."

"..."

"I'm not interested in naval history. I'm just a hapless electronic slave. If I were given another chance, I would definitely not play World of Warships again."

"I'm sorry, Commander, but this will help you enhance your fleet's decisive battle command capabilities."

Fleet command? Who learns that?

Tang Wen's face was filled with black lines, but he could only swallow this loss.

You still have to read some books when you have time, otherwise it would not be nice to deceive the old man's feelings.

In addition to doing business on this business trip, Tang Yi also bought three mobile phones for communication.

Today's ordinary mobile phones are roughly similar to those in the era of feature phones, except that they don't have colorful ticker lights or strange functions, and for now they can only make calls.

Moreover, phone bills are extremely expensive, and it costs several thousand to open a card.

In order to enhance the signal, Tang Yi bought several phones with telescopic antennas, so he could still get a little signal by waving his hand in a remote place like Dayuan Village.

Tang Wen just operated it a few times and then lost interest. He thought he would have to wait at least a few years before he could play some small games on his mobile phone. Now... Damn it, he should have asked Tang Yi to buy a few Subor phones.

Unable to play video game battles, Tang Wen felt itchy every time he saw the planes on the Hornet at the shipyard.

He was thinking about the possibility of flying under the guise of tourism when Chen Yonggui came to him.

……

"Xiao Tang, congratulations on your shipyard signing a big order!"

The village chief knew the order had been placed last night. It was a multi-million dollar order after all, and he was happy for Tang Wen from the bottom of his heart.

But this time, he came here for the fishing company he had discussed before:
"I have asked most of the villagers in the past few days, and everyone is very interested in this fishery company. Now more than 80 households have expressed their willingness to join and invest money.

I am also very tempted by the rest. It won’t be a problem to hold a meeting and set up a company.

If you agree, I will go to the township to report first."
