"Sir, are you really going to do air transport business?" Xie Kai saw that the ship king didn't seem to be lying, but he was embarrassed to fool him at this time, "At present, the air cargo business of all countries in the world is not too profitable. ”

"The profit of sea freight is lower, and as long as it is on scale, the profit is also huge. The Ship King said.

The profit of global shipping is not particularly high, especially the cost of each ocean giant ship is a lot, and there are also operating costs and maintenance costs in ordinary times.

Up to now, international shipping has been growing slowly with the economic development of various countries.

If global shipping wants to gain more markets and more profits, it must open up new business.

What can bring growth, as the king of ships said, is only the business of heaven.

As for land operations, they are generally used for domestic transportation.

Regarding the serious expression of the ship king, Xie Kai didn't know what to say. Just the warning that the king of ships gave him just now, he really couldn't bear to buy the Y-10 plane, which was originally positioned as a special plane for leaders, not even a special passenger plane.

Now, even though a lot has been changed, after all, the cargo capacity of large voyages is still not good.

Only passenger transport is OK.

"Sir, this is really not very good, the world's shipping companies, not much profit at present......" Xie Kai said seriously, didn't he say that he had done market research, didn't he know this?

"No, that's an operational problem. We can do this, with Universal financing to buy planes and lease them to airlines that don't have the funds to buy planes......" The ship king said calmly, looking at the surprised expression on Xie Kai's face, he couldn't help but feel a little proud, "I heard that you are also going to do this, I think we can cooperate." ”

What does drowsiness meet a pillow?

However, Xie Kai was not too surprised.

If the king of ships wants to do this, it will definitely not be limited to China, which may be a small business for him.

Moreover, the entry of the ship king will compress the market of the Y-10.

"Are you worried that if we cooperate, it will affect the market prospects of the Y-10?" Seeing that Xie Kai's face did not look excited, but became heavy, the ship king sighed in his heart, no wonder this kid can be on the CIA's must-kill list.

He looks young, but he understands all kinds of things very clearly in his heart.

As soon as he mentioned cooperation, he began to worry about the prospects of the Y-10.

"Yes. At present, Boeing and Airbus are preparing to enter China. Originally, the market was not very big, and when they came in, the competition would be more intense. Xie Kai doesn't deny it.

Bao Yugang has just said everything to this extent, and it is useless to deny it.

If his proposal had little merit, there would certainly be no possibility of continuing the cooperation.

"If we don't cooperate, do you think their planes won't be able to come in?" asked the Ship King meaningfully.

Xie Kai was stunned.

There is simply no way to stop it.

Although the cost of Boeing and Airbus aircraft is high, the performance and operating costs are much higher than those of the Y-10, and the economy is much better.

Not only is the performance poor, but the existence of the Y-10, many people also feel uncomfortable, after all, this is the original project, especially the Civil Aviation Administration took the initiative to find them to issue airworthiness licenses.

Under such circumstances, there is no way to prevent foreign aircraft from entering the Chinese civil aviation market.

"No, you can't. Xie Kai said affirmatively.

"What if we can control the number of domestic aircraft and the proportion of various aircraft?"

"That's not possible, it's too hard. And it is impossible to agree to such a thing in China. Xie Kai understood what the ship king meant.

That is to say, they sign contracts with various airlines, they provide the planes, and the airlines just lease the planes.

This kind of thing is easy to achieve in other countries, but it is not possible in China.

After all, any company wants to have its own aircraft, not lease someone else's.

Xie Kai understands Sichuan Airlines, at the beginning, it only started with regional airliners, then developed on its feet, and slowly in the end, it continued to purchase aircraft to grow.

Domestic airlines are basically established with the support of local governments, and the government is the main funder, which involves a lot of things.

"You're a state unit. ”

"All airlines are state units. When there is no money, the problem is not too big, and if there is money, they will all choose to buy their own aircraft instead of leasing someone else's. Sir, you are also Chinese, understand this psychology of the Chinese. Xie Kai said with a wry smile.

Bao Yugang understood in an instant.

The big difference between Chinese and foreigners is that they want to own everything, not just get the right to use it.

When there is no way, it is normal to take the way of leasing, and once you have money, even if you take out a loan, each airline will choose to buy its own aircraft.

"Although civil airliners are fast, small in their carryable capacity and high in transportation costs, they are not ordinary commodities that can be paid. In particular, at present, all domestic civil aviation companies are losing money...... It was originally a project with a large investment and a long recovery cycle...... "Xie Kai really doesn't want to pit the king of ships."

The ship king's face also became serious.

The investigators under him only saw the operation mode of international airlines and felt that they could invest, but they also found that the mainland's civil aviation industry had just started and had great potential.

As Xie Kai said, these circumstances are not taken into account.

"Thank you very much for your advice, we will seriously consider it again. Bao Yugang said to Xie Kai gratefully.

The ship king talked to Xie Kai alone for a long time, and when he left, his face was heavy.

Zheng Yucheng, who had been waiting, couldn't ask the king of the ship, so he directly found Xie Kai and asked what the two were talking about, eager to know whether the king of the ship would invest in air transportation projects.

"How?"

"It's not good, the king of the ship offered to cooperate, but I refused. China's domestic market is only so big that it can't afford to lease too many Boeing and Airbus planes. Xie Kai said solemnly.

This is definitely not allowed to be said in front of the king of the ship.

Anyway, if he can prevent Boeing from coming in with Airbus, he will spare no effort.

"What do you say?" asked Zheng Yucheng solemnly.

Xie Kai introduced the situation and told Zheng Yucheng that the ship king was ready to build a huge global transportation network based on their shipping business and cooperate with air transportation.

But they are also mainly engaged in leasing aircraft.

"So, they are not preparing to set up a joint venture company in China?" Bai Yanjun was a little disappointed.

"That's right, but that means that the domestic joint venture is just a division. And once this happens, the orders for the Y-10 will become fewer. Xie Kai's concerns are not without purpose.

Judging from the current market situation of global shipping, ShipKing will not be limited to China's domestic market, which is too small.

It's a global market.

At present, there are many airlines in the international market, and many companies also operate in the form of aircraft leasing, but they are all leased from aircraft manufacturing companies.

The idea of the ship king may be to help the Y-10, but the Y-10 is difficult to be favored by users in the international market. For the sake of the company's profits, this will lead to aircraft companies purchasing large quantities of aircraft that customers need.

In the case of global shipping, the company would even sign a contract with an airline before signing a contract with an aircraft manufacturing company.

In such a situation, the funds will eventually be squeezed out.

"Alas!"

"It's nothing, it's a big deal, we'll do it ourselves. Isn't there a shortage of planes on the Sichuan Airlines side? Isn't there a shortage of planes on the part of China Eastern Airlines?"

"Don't count on Eastern Airlines, McDonnell Douglas's plane ......" Bai Yanjun shook his head.

After the ship king came out of Xie Kai, his expression was heavy.

"Boss, did they refuse?" the assistant asked when he saw that the boss was not showing a clear expression.

"They did refuse, they were worried that international planes would come in and crowd the Y-10 market. ”

"They still don't know too much. Even if they don't cooperate, Boeing and Airbus planes will come in. Boss, don't you want to help them?" the assistant despised these mainlanders.

No insight at all.

"Not really. If you only cooperate with them on the mainland, you will not be profitable in a short period of time, and if you look at the global market, it will be difficult for the Y-10 to win the favor of airlines that are accustomed to Boeing and Airbus aircraft, and their worries are not unreasonable. This is indeed a bit of a mistake in our consideration. The ship king didn't think there was anything wrong with Xie Kai's refusal to cooperate.

If it were him, he would have to refuse.

"If you don't set up an airline for profit, what are you doing? The assistant muttered.

The Ship King sighed.

Originally, I wanted to support the Y-10, but now it seems that there is no way.

It is not a state-owned company in Chinese mainland, and in order to support the development of a project, it can ignore costs and profits.

The company operates, that is the need for a loan, and the loan has to have interest.

Once a long-term loss occurs, shareholders withdraw their capital.

"Shall we still talk about this now?" asked the assistant.

The company was not too interested in the air transport industry, and the ship king wanted to develop the business to the sky.

At present, the ship king has retired from the world, and the company has been handed over to the eldest son-in-law.

Su Haiwen will definitely not agree to spend a large amount of money to support the mainland's aviation manufacturing industry, after all, he is not Chinese, and he is not even a descendant of Yanhuang.

"Don't they have a private jet business? The previous inspection team found that the private jet leasing market in Xiangjiang is also very good, and if it is suitable at that time, we will order a few private jets to support the development of domestic large aircraft. The ship's face was a little lonely.

The "......" assistant didn't know how to answer for a while.

In order to support the mainland's aircraft industry, he actually made an exception to buy a private jet, and it is estimated that he will be scolded a lot at that time.

"You talk to them and see if we can arrange for us to visit their big aircraft factory. The Shipmaster said to his assistant.
