According to reports, this story begins at an entirely unscientific moment: Zhou Ziye, a designer who rose from creating counterfeit mobile phones, suddenly time-traveled back to the year 1984.
...Chapter 409 The Four Major Items
"Columbia has so many scripts, he can pick whichever he wants. You can also tell him that if there's a role he likes but they don't cast him as the lead, he won't get any roles."
Xing Baohua's domineering words made Sect Leader Zhou chuckle. This guy only knows how to sweet-talk girls.
If it's just a regular role, it doesn't matter, but if it's a big-budget A-list production with a huge investment, they'll probably only give this person a brief cameo.
Master Zhou is completely incapable of supporting a large-scale, high-investment production.
Unlike private coal mine owners, they throw money into the film and television industry purely for fun and to make people happy.
Xing Baohua couldn't learn it, but he did discover a small flaw: why did he become a bit stingy the richer he got?
This guy spent three days in Hong Kong sorting out some things at Haina Company and then having someone register an air logistics company.
By the way, let the outside world know that Huahong Group plans to order 25 large cargo planes, with a total value of over US$11.2 billion.
And modern warehouses were built in the Tseung Kwan O Industrial Estate.
Large aircraft are not cheap, and of course it depends on which company manufactures them. Currently, only the United States, China, and Russia have the capability to produce large aircraft.
In order to get the aircraft in place as soon as possible, Xing Baohua felt that ordering an aircraft from a particular company would involve waiting in line.
Why not buy a few from this store and a few from that store?
Boeing from the United States was a little unhappy when they heard the news. They wanted to take all the orders, even though there were only a dozen or so aircraft available and they only needed to wait two or three years.
So they still put pressure on Xing Baohua through the media, saying: "You, Xing Baohua, have made money off the wealth of the people of Great America, so you must spend it on businesses in Great America."
If it weren't for certain restrictions, Xing Baohua wouldn't have chosen to cooperate with Boeing based on their own abilities.
Xing Baohua assembled a small team specifically to handle aircraft ordering, including selecting aircraft models and negotiating prices.
I originally wanted to order 10 Boeing aircraft, but when I inquired about the delivery time, they said it would take three years.
Then we'll order three aircraft first. He'll order from other companies, and whoever delivers the fastest, we'll order from them.
At worst, we can just buy planes from other companies without using the money spent in the US, and see if you still complain.
If they keep making a fuss, I'll order one.
It's a pity that civilian aircraft still have to go with Boeing, otherwise Xing Baohua could have chosen the better C series, or even a Hercules C130 would have been fine!
Forget about it. There were only a handful of companies producing airplanes at that time, so why be picky?
When it comes to affordability and durability, the Russians are the best choice.
An-124, and the A-300 with the rooster.
These two models are the mainstays of transportation.
However, Xing Baohua recalls that Russia also had the world's largest transport aircraft. Was it under development or already in production at this time?
Let someone ask around first. At this time, the Russians are short of money, so production won't be high.
If we could provide timely assistance, we might be able to produce a few more aircraft.
Xing Baohua quickly sent people to contact the two companies.
Time waits for no one; it will take a year or two for the plane to arrive. Internet development is fast-paced; we can't wait for a plane.
In response to Boeing's domineering tone, Huahong Group announced the brand and quantity of aircraft it was about to order.
Moreover, in addition to self-raised funds, the remaining funds for the order will be raised in the stock market.
At the same time, Xing Baohua also had someone spread the word that he would open an angel investment channel for those who wanted to invest in Huahong Logistics Company.
Investors looking for low-cost investments with high returns should bring their money and come quickly.
After the news was released, many people called the company to inquire, and these were all outsiders. Meanwhile, acquaintances and friends were discussing it among themselves within the industry.
Perhaps they've already used their connections to speak with Xing Baohua and reserve an angel investment spot for them.
In short, there are too many wolves and not enough meat.
Now, Xing Baohua can't say that the logistics business was a complete disaster in its early stages! They had nothing and no inherent advantages; they just used the money they made from the disaster to support the planes and staff.
As for profitability, it probably wouldn't have been achievable by the early 1990s.
However, these purchased planes can't be left idle. There's a small airport in his hometown. Although it was built under the guise of a runway, it's intended to be an airport in the future.
First, transport rice and electronic products to maintain the shipping routes.
In order to avoid losing too much money, Xing Baohua had no choice but to use his reputation to lure people into investing.
acquaintance……
Xing Baohua really didn't want to contact them! Air logistics is a bottomless pit, and he was afraid that these acquaintances would accuse him of taking advantage of them.
Not letting these familiar people in would offend people and damage relationships.
It's giving me a terrible headache.
Before leaving Hong Kong, Xing Baohua went to Golden Harvest to meet Mr. Zou.
I made an appointment by phone before I came.
I met Mr. Zou not only at Jiahe, but also his partner, Mr. He.
Unexpectedly, Big Nose Brother Long was also there, and the others were all smiling as they waited for Xing Baohua to arrive.
This guy also managed to break into Hollywood, but he's nowhere near as good as Bruce Lee, who was the earliest Hollywood star.
Both are skilled fighters, but their skill levels are worlds apart.
This big-nosed dragon seems to be fighting, but he's actually using tricks, making him look ridiculous to those who don't understand, like a juggling act.
If it were something new, perhaps audiences in the United States would like it. Unfortunately, he's following the path of Buster Keaton, who became a master of silent film decades ago.
Although there were some changes in the show, the style was very similar, and the big-nosed dragon also borrowed a lot of scenes.
