I Want To Be a Rich Man on Hong Kong Island

Chapter 489 [Air Transport Station]

On this day, Wu Guangyao, led by the CEO of Hong Kong Island Airlines, Mindray, came to Kai Tak Airport for inspection.

Hong Kong Kai Tak Airport was initially built by Chinese businessmen He Qi and Ou Tak after reclamation;

After several times of reclamation and expansion, the current Kai Tak Airport was established;

Kai Tak Airport is the smallest airport in the world, but it is definitely the most efficient international urban airport.

The main buildings of Kai Tak Airport are composed of apron, runway, passenger terminal building, etc. The apron can park 36 passenger planes at the same time;

The runway is 3.39 kilometers long, and most of the lines are on the sea, which can be used for various large aircraft to take off and land;

The Passenger Terminal Building is a huge six-story building. The first and second floors are the waiting hall and the arrival and departure port, the third to fifth floors are the offices of major airlines, and the sixth floor is the control tower.

A group of people came to the Hong Kong Island Airlines office on the fifth floor of the passenger terminal building. The Hong Kong Island Airlines office is the largest office in the entire Kai Tak Airport, even surpassing the Cathay Pacific office;

Because Hong Kong Island Airlines has penetrated into various fields of Hong Kong's aviation industry over the years:

Hong Kong Island Airlines: With 15 Boeing passenger planes and 3 Viscount passenger planes, the annual passenger capacity reaches 500,000, and the occupancy rate reaches 85%. It has become a legend in the world aviation industry; for example, the passenger business between Japan and Hong Kong Island, Japan Airlines The company is obviously inferior to Hong Kong Island Airlines, and the Japanese prefer to take Hong Kong Island Airlines.

HAECO mechanical maintenance engineering: Based on Kai Tak Airport, it provides repair, maintenance, refurbishment, modification, and various support services for the large fleet of Hong Kong Island Airlines, as well as other scheduled and non-scheduled flights to and from Hong Kong. The ground part of the airport equipment maintenance work; because it is the earliest foreign cooperative airline company of Boeing, it has been greatly facilitated in training maintenance engineers.

In addition to Hong Kong Island Airlines and Hong Kong Machinery Engineering, Hong Kong Island Airlines also has many subsidiaries: Airline Food Supply Company (packaged food), Airline Catering Service Company (meals), Airport Services (ticketing agency, aviation peripherals), Airport Security , ground handling services, etc., a total of more than a dozen subsidiary companies.

When Wu Guangyao and his party came to the office, the staff greeted them one after another, with expressions on their faces that seemed fake, and they were all full of admiration for Wu Guangyao.

"Everyone has done a good job. Hong Kong Island Airlines cannot achieve today's results without your efforts! Please rest assured that Universal Group is strong and will not let your salary be lower than that of Cathay Pacific Airways! We just want to do it, what? We must beat Cathay Pacific and let them follow us to eat ashes!" Wu Guangyao gave everyone a shot in the arm, which immediately aroused everyone's sympathy.

Suddenly,

The entire office was blown up by Wu Guangyao, and he became more enthusiastic about Wu Guangyao.

Originally, Wu Guangyao was a generous boss, and he always followed the principle of 'everyone can make money together! 'the rules;

Of course, there are also dissatisfied employees and management, after all, we cannot satisfy everyone;

But after these people switched jobs, they all regretted it, and some even returned to the company under Wu Guangyao.

Gradually, Wu Guangyao's reputation as a "good boss" spread like this!

Coming to the meeting room, Wu Guangyao held a high-level meeting of Hong Kong Island Airlines.

Mindray is 56 years old this year and has spent 23 years in Hong Kong Island Airlines. He is about to retire in these few years;

Wu Guangyao does not intend to retain Mindray and will continue to serve as the president of Hong Kong Island Airlines;

Although Mindray is capable, Wu Guangyao must rejuvenate the management of his company, otherwise he will be in trouble if he fails to take over!

This kind of scene is about to be staged in every company of Wu Guangyao. Once these people reach the age of 60, they will all retire;

Of course, these people will have a place to go, and that is Wu Guangyao's brainstorming group, which will continue to shine.

"The first thing is, Vice President Kidd recently went to Boeing and asked them to designate our HAECO engineering company as one of the designated suppliers for the repair and maintenance of Boeing airliners. I believe Boeing will agree!" Wu Guangyao Open your mouth and say.

Kidd is an Englishman and Mindray's successor;

It is no secret that Wu Guangyao makes good use of foreigners in Hong Kong Island;

Unlike other bosses, Wu Guangyao's original intention of employing foreigners was not to show off, but to truly consider the actual situation!

Kidd nodded and said: "Boss, don't worry, we have spared no effort to train aircraft maintenance engineers these years. In terms of maintenance capabilities, Asia can rank first, and Boeing will definitely not refuse; moreover, Hong Kong Island Airlines is an airline company other than the United States. , the airline that ordered the American Boeing 707 first, naturally has a great advantage..."

Everyone agrees with Kidd’s point of view. Although Hong Kong Island Airlines is not as large as the airlines of some countries, in 1958, as soon as Boeing’s 707 was born, Hong Kong Island Airlines purchased three at one time, and even Cathay Pacific Airways was one. Purchased after two years;

This kind of behavior naturally easily wins Boeing's friendship!

The reason why Wu Guangyao went to fight for this designated maintenance provider was also to expand the operation of the Hong Kong Island Mechanical Engineering Company, and even get involved in the local business of other countries;

Hong Kong is a place with a well-developed aviation industry, and its business is even busier than that of the big countries in Southeast Asia;

It is precisely because of this that Cathay Pacific Airways in the previous life can be said to be the industrial pillar of Swire Pacific.

And Wu Guangyao is now planning to list Hong Kong Island Airlines as his key industry and start to pay attention to it;

Naturally, 15 Boeing airliners were not enough to cope with the boom period of the aviation industry in the 1980s and 1990s, so rapid expansion was necessary.

Wu Guangyao then said: "Before the advent of the 1980s, we need to expand the fleet to 40 aircraft. You have to come up with a procurement plan for me!"

Kidd hesitated for a moment, and said: "Boss, I suggest using the money from the stock market to develop Hong Kong Island Airlines; the current market value of Hong Kong Island Mechanical Engineering Company is 400 million Hong Kong dollars. As its parent company, Hong Kong Island Airlines owns 70% of the shares, assuming We cash out 20% of the shares at the high point, and we can get nearly 80 million Hong Kong dollars in cash. If we choose to buy Boeing with a loan, we can buy 5 passenger planes, which can save a lot of money...... .”

The eyes of everyone told Wu Guangyao that everyone very much agrees with this method!

Real entrepreneurs are really good at using the stock market. For example, Li Ka-shing in his previous life issued new shares several times a year to buy properties.

"The method is very good, but I have a better idea!" Wu Guangyao said with a smile.

When everyone heard it, they immediately pricked up their ears. Although this legendary boss rarely participated in the actual operation;

But every wonderful point of Hong Kong Island Airlines basically has his idea!

"First of all, the stock market has not reached its peak yet. I think this bull market still has some time to go, so cash out slowly; secondly, I plan to develop an air cargo terminal. This project is the development trend of the aviation industry in the future. If we are successful enough, That is equivalent to copying Hong Kong Island Airlines." After Wu Guangyao finished speaking, he looked at everyone's expressions and hoped to get everyone's support.

In the previous life, Hong Kong’s air cargo terminal was developed in the mid-1970s by a joint venture between Swire Matheson, Jardine Matheson, Hutchison Matheson, and HSBC Bank. There were no Chinese;

Among them, Swire Pacific holds 30% of the shares, so it naturally became the major shareholder!

In the 1990s, in order to prevent the British foreign firms from monopolizing this business, the mainland and Chinese companies worked hard to get a share of the pie.

It is conceivable that Wu Guangyao must do this step!

Of course, it is impossible to eat alone, and the Hong Kong government cannot agree;

Because the franchise is in the hands of the Hong Kong government, if Hong Kong Island Airlines wants to eat alone, it is impossible for the Hong Kong government to give you the franchise.

Mindray took the lead in stating: "There is a Chinese proverb that goes well - the first person to eat crabs, the air transport station in Europe and the United States has just developed, so we are the first people in Asia to eat crabs, and we will definitely gain a lot .Moreover, to develop an air cargo terminal, we must have an air cargo building; we can take advantage of the time of building the air cargo building to learn the most advanced air cargo handling system and obtain the exclusive right of the Hong Kong government.”

Wu Guangyao nodded and said: "If you want to obtain the franchise, you must also know how to share, so I plan to cooperate with Swire and Hutchison. As for Jardine Matheson, it depends on whether they take the initiative; as for the air cargo handling system, my suggestion is Using a computer system is much better than manual work!"

It's funny to think about it, Wu Guangyao's experience in developing Hong Kong Island Airlines is all the operation of Cathay Pacific in his previous life;

In this life, Cathay Pacific sees what Hong Kong Island Airlines does, and they follow suit, for fear of being one step behind;

For example, airline catering, airline catering, ground handling services, and airport security services. These investments were first made by Hong Kong Island Airlines, followed by Cathay Pacific Airways.

And the Hong Kong government is also a bit partial to Cathay Pacific Airways. It just divides the business of the entire airport into one. It says it is equal, but in fact there is no equality;

First come first served, don't you understand this principle?

Of course, Wu Guangyao would not quarrel with the Hong Kong government because of this matter. Not only would he offend the Hong Kong government, but he would also offend Swire \u0026 Co., which would outweigh the gains.

'Make money together! ’ perfectly interprets the aviation industry on Hong Kong Island.

After the meeting, Hong Kong Island Airlines began to expand like a high-speed machine!

Although Hong Kong Island is just a small place, the aviation business in the future will be bigger than that of some medium-sized countries;

Therefore, Wu Guangyao must pay attention!

Especially in the shipping industry, there are still three or four years to reduce the number of ships going ashore, and Hong Kong Island Airlines just makes up for this gap.
