Chapter 433 The Early Stages of the Domestic Price War
After chatting, Xing Baohua realized how ignorant she was.
In the absence of advanced equipment, the navigator plays a very important role; their primary task is to ensure that the aircraft does not veer off course.
This is a very meticulous task.
Pilots in this era were only responsible for flying the plane, ensuring its stability, and reaching the destination safely.
Think back to a few years ago, didn't the South Korean airliners get beaten up by the Russians because they veered off course?
If we were to assign responsibility, the navigator would bear the greatest responsibility, since they were the one who led the plane astray.
After settling the pilots in, Xing Baohua left temporarily, too embarrassed to ask if they could fly these large planes, or even what kind of planes they had flown before.
If asked, they'd probably just make up some excuse.
It would be better not to ask at all. Whether they know how to fly or not, just let the Russian pilots teach them. Didn't they pay them a year's salary? Do you really think that just because they're being fed and clothed, they have to explain the function of each button to our pilots?
In fact, Xing Baohua was worrying for nothing. Most of the aircraft in China use Russian systems, and you can basically get the hang of them without even being taught.
Antonov returned three days later, this time not alone, but with several others. They came to help him contact Xing Baohua's team about how to process the aircraft registration issue.
Although the procedures were cumbersome, registration was successfully completed. Next came applying for flight routes, requiring notification of the airspace of the countries the route passed through; otherwise, it was easy to be shot down.
A day later, shareholders and senior executives of Huahong Group personally went to the airport to welcome and witness the world's largest airplane.
Of course, the media accompanied them.
Representatives from all walks of life were also sent. Hong Kong people were excited, though it's unclear why. Perhaps it's because Hong Kong now has its own large transport planes, and they're excited to be able to transport more fresh fruits and vegetables, just to enjoy fresher produce.
At the moment the plane landed, Xing Baohua officially announced the establishment of Huahong Aviation Logistics Company.
Representatives from Russia, the flight crew who had just disembarked, and staff from Huahong Group posed for photos in front of the plane, and even cut ribbons and performed dragon and lion dances.
Xing Baohua kept his promise and admitted that after the plane was handed over, he had someone transfer all the money to Antonov's designated bank account.
The cooperation between the two parties was quite pleasant.
Although Huahong Aviation currently only has one aircraft, a new aircraft will arrive every three months in the future.
This time, the aircraft is an A-series transport plane from the Rooster Country, and the delivery date is approaching according to the contract.
Everyone knows that the 124 is currently the world's largest aircraft, demonstrating its behemoth status in terms of both takeoff weight and cargo tonnage.
However, the even larger 225 is about to have its test flight. This is the world's largest aircraft, and Xing Baohua is very eager to obtain it.
After all, things are valued for their scarcity.
It's unreasonable that Xing Baohua didn't place an order with the aircraft manufacturer in the United States.
The publicity surrounding a single 124 was overwhelming, and the network of relationships among those with interests in the aircraft manufacturer was extremely complex.
Not to mention that Xing Baohua has several shareholders among the many companies in the United States who are related to aircraft manufacturers.
In order to negotiate the interests, a group came to Hong Kong to persuade Xing Baohua to buy the plane from the United States.
Boeing's production capacity is limited and it cannot supply goods for the time being, but there is another most famous aircraft manufacturer.
The C130 medium transport aircraft can be sold to Huahong Aviation Logistics.
The reasons for the lobbying were also quite compelling: the mainland had already bought two civilian versions last year, and they were working very well; you should buy four or five more.
Xing Baohua genuinely didn't know about this; it seems things are really low-key in China! Not a single piece of information has been released!
This is Hercules! Although it's technology from the 1950s, more than 30 years ago, it's still the mainstay of transportation today!
This vehicle has appeared in many movies. It has strong off-road capabilities and can take off and land on any flat ground. It can even do a short-distance dry-land pull.
Xing Baohua was indeed very happy. He would buy anything that was available. They were still in the honeymoon period. Once this opportunity came, it would be gone forever.
purchase!
When approached by people trying to persuade him, he said he would buy four or five of them and sent someone over to discuss it.
After seeing off the lobbyists, Xing Baohua called over a pilot from China to ask about the situation and see what the C130 imported by China was.
The other party didn't know the specifics either, so Xing Baohua mentioned that the United States had also sold him a few C-130s, and asked those in China who had flown these things what they thought.
Even though they're both pilots, they belong to different organizations, so finding out about this can be difficult and could easily lead to misunderstandings.
The pilot was very cautious and told Xing Baohua to ask his superiors directly, and they would give him a reply.
If we need detailed information, we'll have to ask Grandpa Cheng to coordinate. Actually, Xing Baohua just wants pilots who can fly this model.
He was a little uneasy about using foreign pilots, fearing they might run away with the plane.
I don't know where this guy's sense of worry comes from.
Now that we have the planes, besides training the pilots and giving them a break-in period, we also need to make good use of them.
The transportation business is temporarily contracted out to Zhengjia Aircraft Leasing to help them secure some transportation orders.
We have to make a profit to cover the management fees and fuel costs.
After dealing with the plane matter in Hong Kong, Xing Baohua returned to Southern Metropolis Daily, where the trade fair was also nearing its end.
The total transaction amount has now reached over 30 billion US dollars.
Dami Technology is the main contributor to the profit margin, followed by two models from Luzhong Automobile Factory.
When Wei Laisong met Xing Baohua, he complained that if the Tianma series had been brought in, the trading volume would probably have been even higher.
Xing Baohua rolled her eyes at him and said, "If orders come in but production can't keep up, you'll be responsible for paying the penalty! Tianma is only suitable for directly operated stores. Expand step by step, and once you have a base, you can offer more models and gradually develop a dealership model."
