Chapter 82 Someone wants to join
Although Wang Rongchang is the vice chairman of the Straits Foundation, he doesn’t care much about things. He is just a role of making connections. However, if he doesn’t care much about things, it doesn’t mean that he doesn’t work.
It would be fine if there were ordinary people on the plane. A senior vice president of Boeing, a rich Chinese young man holding an American passport. According to information, the young man's father was also a ministerial-level official in the mainland, and his personal relationship was very broad, so Wang Rongchang had to take these two seriously.
Especially when he heard that Mr. Fan Wubing had just signed a $2 billion contract with Airbus in Paris and had to sign another $2 billion contract with Boeing, Wang Rongchang's face turned a little excited.
Such an awesome person should be respected everywhere you place!
If you have to find some shortcomings in Fan Wubing, it can only be said that he is a little young.
Wang Rongchang immediately scanned the girls of his own, his friends and relatives' homes in his mind, trying to find someone who could be worthy of Fan Wubing, but found that he could not find a suitable candidate for a while.
"The family's talents are withering--" Wang Rongchang couldn't help but sigh, worried about the current situation in his family.
But he was hesitating here, and Fan Wubing chatted with him there.
"Mr. Wang, generally speaking, how long will this plane take to return?" Fan Wubing asked.
"It will take about twenty-four hours. Some work needs to be done, safety inspections, full fuel, and the crew on board also need to eat. These things need to be done. There are also the motivations of the hijackers, and they also need to be clarified." Wang Rongchang replied.
Damn! Who told me that I would stay for a week?! Isn’t this fooling me?
Fan Wubing suddenly felt very annoyed. He would have not got off the plane if he had known it, so he would have saved so much trouble.
"Can the dining problem of the onboard personnel help solve it?" Fan Wubing finally remembered more than 100 people on the plane and asked Wang Rongchang.
"Please rest assured about this. Although the dining time at the airport restaurant has passed, we have contacted Taipei Yuanshan Hotel and asked them to provide enough meals to the plane for passengers to eat." Wang Rongchang immediately guaranteed.
"This is more, and I can pay for the required expenses." Fan Wubing first expressed his gratitude, and then added.
Wang Rongchang waved his hand and said, "No need for this, it's a trivial matter, it won't cost much money."
After some conversation, Fan Wubing got some understanding of the matter of dealing with the hijacking between the two sides.
Because hijacking incidents on both sides of the Taiwan Strait have occurred frequently recently, and Taoyuan Airport ahead of the hijacking has had a bad impact on the international side, and Taiwan also feels a little tricky, and cannot continue to adopt delay tactics and create troubles as before.
Since Taiwan adopts a policy of separating human-machine vehicles for hijacked aircraft to emphasize its own jurisdiction, they often detain the hijackers, then convict them on their own, and repatriate the aircraft on their own, so those who want to go to Taiwan for various purposes will be ignored. For a time, Taiwan was called the hijackers paradise by the outside world.
In recent years, relevant parties have urged the Taiwan authorities to review policies and express their solemn opposition to the hijacking behavior. At the same time, hijackers should be severely punished to clean up the reputation of hijackers' paradise. Only by letting these desperadoes know that hijackers must face the fate of being repatriated can the civil aviation areas on both sides of the Taiwan Strait be peaceful.
The frequent hijacking incidents were attracted by the international civil aviation community. Under various pressures, the Taiwanese authorities had to change their attitudes. The relevant parties on both sides of the Taiwan Strait began to contact and consult, study the operating procedures for curbing hijacking incidents and repatriation of hijacking criminals. Because Taiwan was entangled with sensitive political issues such as jurisdiction, the negotiations were once unsuccessful, and there was a phenomenon that people were unwilling to see.
On the one hand, the negotiations were held for a long time or were completed without signing the agreement. On the other hand, the criminals were still on the verge of danger, and hijacking incidents occurred more frequently. During the negotiation process and even on the day of the meeting, there were constant incidents of hijacking to Taiwan.
Both sides feel that they should avoid politically sensitive issues and use attitudes and methods to deal with transactional issues to deal with such issues, and do not generalize and complicate transactional issues.
Therefore, Wang Rongchang said that the plane could be repatriated within 24 hours.
"However, because there is no direct flight between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait, the plane must first transfer to Hong Kong before returning to the mainland." Wang Rongchang also explained this problem.
Fan Wubing curled his lips and said, "Oh, poor China Eastern Airlines, it's going to cost you this time."
After going back and forth, the oil alone would have to be added 200 tons, and the other expenses and the impact of reputation were not calculated. Based on the overall situation, this flight mission was a big loss.
"That's not the case-" Wang Rongchang said, "The most feared shipping companies are hijacking aircraft and ships. Once they encounter this, they will waste time and have to pay for fuel. In addition, the loss of credibility is really unbearable. In fact, some airlines in Taiwan have also been robbed to the mainland, but yours is more flexible and generous."
Fan Wubing nodded. Businessmen value profit and are not very enthusiastic about political matters. Therefore, Taiwanese businessmen also hope that cross-straits can ease relations and promote cross-strait trade exchanges as soon as possible, and mutually beneficial.
Although investment in the mainland has been gradually relaxed in recent years, there is still a private investment limit of 50 million yuan, which means that a company's investment in the mainland cannot exceed 50 million Taiwan dollars, otherwise it will be punished by the Taipei authorities.
Therefore, although many large island companies are coveted by the mainland market, they are still stagnant about investing in the mainland, considering political risks. However, some individual investors or small businesses have no ideological burden and have developed many Taiwanese-funded enterprises in the southeast coastal areas.
For example, Master Kong, who came to the mainland to invest, was actually an unknown person on the island. Because he did not have such concerns, he simply took root in the mainland and occupied almost most of the instant noodle market in one go, and achieved success. However, manufacturers such as Unification and Nissin on the island, have been too large and have been restricted by the government because of their large foundation on the island, so they entered the mainland market very late and their development was restricted.
Later, this limit was gradually relaxed and divided according to some industries, such as what industry can invest within 50 million US dollars, what industry can invest within 50 million to 100 million US dollars, and what industry can invest more than 100 million US dollars. Taipei has very strict regulations.
But no matter what, the loss of direct flights between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait is huge. Just switching to Hong Kong will take a lot of time, money and energy, and Taiwanese businessmen are also deeply complaining about this.
Wang Rongchang looked at Fan Wubing's expression and looked a little reluctant to say anything. He obviously had something to say, but he didn't know how to say it, which was a little embarrassed.
"The prince has something to say, but it doesn't matter." Fan Wubing looked at Wang Rongchang and said.
"I heard that Mr. Fan has acquired Intel's mobile phone chip research and development department?" Wang Rongchang asked carefully.
Fan Wubing nodded and said, "If there is such a thing, what are the princess' ideas?"
Suddenly hearing Wang Rongchang talk about this, Fan Wubing felt a little sudden. He did acquire Intel's mobile phone chip research and development department, but due to some regulations of the US government, this department could not be moved back to the mainland intact. Therefore, Fan Wubing is just continuing to inject capital into it to maintain its research work without interruption and put forward some new ideas to them to facilitate the development of new products.
Few people know about this, but not none, but it is strange that Wang Rongchang can know about it. Could it be that Taipei is also interested in this matter? Fan Wubing is a little confused.
"Mr. Fan doesn't have to misunderstand it. I know this. There is no government behavior. In fact, I have always been operating as a private person. The Straits Foundation is also a private organization." Seeing that Fan Wubing's face was strange, Wang Rongchang knew that he must be thinking about the reason, so he explained, "I have a distant relative working in the department acquired by Mr. Fan, so I know that this matter and that Mr. Fan has strong financial resources."
"So that's it--" Fan Wubing nodded, thinking that it would be more reasonable to say this.
Wang Rongchang looked at Fan Wubing and said, "My idea is to cooperate with Mr. Fan to participate in the development of mobile phone chips, and broaden the path of chip development."
"For example?" Fan Wubing was a little moved when he heard this, but he wanted to hear what the old man had in detail.
"For example, the research and development and production of computer dynamic memory, as well as the research and development and production of graphics cards, etc.," the old man said to Fan Wubing ambitiously.
After Wang Rongchang said this, Fan Wubing felt more aware. It turned out that the old man said so much around the bush, but in fact he was optimistic about the mobile phone chip research and development team he obtained from Intel. It seems that he is also optimistic about the rapid development of the mobile phone industry, so he would not hesitate to use the computer memory and graphics card research and development technology he mastered as an exchange for joining the company to gain Fan Wubing's approval.
This person is a talent! Although he is a little older, this does not prevent him from being more sensitive.
After admiring twice, Fan Wubing immediately thought of the bright prospects of the cooperation between the two. By obtaining intellectual talents and local technical talents from Taiwan, he can mobilize some technical talents from China to form a powerful chip research and development institution to compete with foreign electronic manufacturers.
"We can talk about this in detail." Although Fan Wubing did not agree immediately, the message conveyed to Wang Rongchang was positive.
The old man also nodded and said, "The members of the Straits Foundation often have to go to the mainland for exchanges. At that time, I will make a special trip to Shanghai to visit Mr. Fan and come up with a more detailed plan."
