In fact, although AllBright Airlines' losses last year seemed serious, the actual situation was not that bad!
First of all, the bulk of the losses came from the successive investments in aircraft and fixed equipment. This was a one-time deal, and only a small amount of maintenance costs would be required in the next ten years.
So putting this aside, AllBright Airlines' actual losses will not exceed 10 million!
And this was hindered by Li Xiucheng's insistence on opening many unpopular flights. However, although unpopular flights do not make money, they can quickly increase the company's reputation!
Now that two years of operation have passed, AllBright Airlines' status in the hearts of some people is no less than that of Air China.
The key issue to be solved now is how to make profits and enhance the company's core competitiveness!
So this time, taking advantage of the opportunity of the aircraft transaction, Li Xiucheng asked Meng Yudu to propose a plan for building an air transport logistics network to Shu Airlines.
Nowadays, air transportation is naturally available, but it is only used for very few precious items. It is naturally impossible for ordinary people to enjoy the convenience of air transportation!
Now Li Xiucheng plans to let AllBright Airlines try to develop in this area. However, although AllBright Airlines has increased in scale, it is still a bit weak to build an air logistics network, so he asked Shu Airlines to cooperate!
Now the boss of Shu Airlines is very interested in this matter and is negotiating with the company. If nothing unexpected happens, it is expected that the relevant business will be launched on a trial basis by the end of the year.
Moreover, Meng Yudu said on the phone that the boss of Shu Airlines, Gong Bitao, wanted to invite Li Xiucheng to be a guest for exchanges and so on!
Li Xiucheng's response was that we would talk about it when we have a chance, but things just happen to be such a coincidence.
The call came as soon as I stepped out of the airport in Guangcheng, and it was a call from the boss of Shu Airlines himself.
"Hello, Mr. Li, I am Gong Bitao, the general manager of Shu Airlines!"
Hearing the mature and steady male voice coming from the phone, Li Xiucheng was surprised but still responded politely: "Hello, Mr. Gong, I just got off your company's plane!"
"Haha, right? I heard from Manager Meng that Mr. Li is going to Guangcheng, but I didn't expect that he would actually take our company's flight!"
On the phone, Gong Bitao's voice became brisk.
"I wonder how Mr. Li feels? If there are any shortcomings, please feel free to teach me and give me some advice!"
"Don't take it seriously!" Li Xiucheng said with a smile: "I have some suggestions!"
In a huge office in Shu City, Gong Bitao, who was holding a phone, was stunned. He just said it casually in a polite way. He didn't expect to get a real response from Li Xiucheng, and he immediately became interested.
"I have long heard that Mr. Li is an elite in the business world, so I would like to ask Mr. Li to speak freely!"
“Thank you, Mr. Gong. I am very satisfied with your company’s flight attendant service!
It's like this. I was in such a hurry in the morning that I didn't eat much. I felt hungry on the plane and wanted to eat something.
It turned out that it was a pity that there was only some ordinary food on offer. I thought Shu cuisine is famous all over the country. It would be even more perfect if I could enjoy a sumptuous meal on the plane! "
"...."
When Gong Bitao heard Li Xiucheng's words, he immediately felt as if thunder was coming from the sky, making him burnt on the outside and tender on the inside.
He really thought that Li Xiucheng would give some better suggestions, but he turned out to be joking with him and complaining about the bad food!
This made him not know how to answer for a while. After a few seconds, he said with a smile: "I have received Mr. Li's proposal. I will definitely ask the logistics department to improve this aspect later!"
In Guangcheng, Li Xiucheng could not help but curl his lips after hearing Gong Bitao's perfunctory tone.
You know, in the previous life, Shu Airlines was famous for its food service, and it even became Shu Airlines' business card. Many passengers chose their plane because they liked Shu Airlines' food.
Maybe the silence on the phone was a little embarrassing. Gong Bitao on the other side coughed dryly and said: "Uh, by the way, Mr. Li, I'm calling you to tell you that there is a party in Shencheng next week.
The participants were all senior executives from major airlines, and they mainly discussed topics related to industry development. If Mr. Li has time, he might as well come and participate. "
Li Xiucheng, who had already reached the car door, couldn't help but stop and asked curiously: "Is it an official event or is it organized by everyone?"
"It is considered a voluntary organization. Air China was not large in scale before. In 1985, the Aviation Administration took the lead in holding an industry development meeting in Shanghai. After the meeting, everyone spontaneously stayed to discuss related industry topics. Just take your time. It has become a grand event in this industry.
Because it is a biennial meeting, your company had just opened when it was held last time, so everyone forgot to notify you!
I was notified the day before yesterday that the venue for this year’s event was Shencheng, so I took the initiative to inform you. "
"forget?"
Hearing this, Li Xiucheng felt disdainful. He said it so decently, but he was probably just looking down on Jintian, a small and unusual company that had just been established!
Now that I have invested a lot of money to make the company large-scale and have a certain reputation, these people actually think of me!
Gee, it turns out that snobbery is spread across all industries!
Although he was dissatisfied in his heart, he would not say anything.
He said without changing his tone: "That's really troublesome, Mr. Gong. Where is the specific time and place?"
"9 a.m. on Thursday the 10th, New Shencheng Hotel."
"Okay, I will definitely attend on time!"
"Well, I'm also looking forward to meeting Mr. Li. Then we can have a good talk about the air logistics network plan."
"Okay, bye."
"goodbye."
After talking on the phone, Li Xiucheng got in the car and thought that this conference was an opportunity. If he could get a few more companies to participate in the plan, it would greatly promote the outlet plan.
Thinking of this, he said to Zhao Qiang: "Brother Zhao, remember to remind me to go to the New Shencheng Hotel for a meeting on Thursday the 10th!"
"OK!"
Zhao Qiang, who was sitting in the passenger seat, responded without looking back, then took out a palm-sized notebook from his chest pocket and recorded this information.
Because Li Xiucheng is not used to having a secretary, Zhao Qiang is now the leader of the bodyguard team in name, but the actual work has been slowly handed over to Wang Yi and Yu Bing, who has performed extremely well in several incidents.
Now he serves more as Li Xiucheng's personal bodyguard and also as schedule secretary, responsible for recording and reminding Li Xiucheng of some important schedules and affairs.
After taking notes, he flipped through the records on the front of the notebook and said, "Mr. Li, Boss Hu is already waiting for us at Longfei Hotel. Shall we go directly there now?"
Li Xiucheng raised his wrist and looked at the time. It was just past two o'clock!
"It's still early, don't rush there, let's go to the optical disc factory first to see how the construction is going!"
"OK!"
This time it was the driver who spoke. After responding, he immediately changed direction and headed towards the industrial development zone.
