Chapter 107 Charter Flight Inspection
In early May, Hong Kong also entered the rainy season.
A Boeing 737 passenger plane with blue Pan American Airlines logo painted on the tail wing and huge blue pana words sprayed on the fuselage, diving rapidly in the heavy rain and landed on the runway of Kai Tak International Airport. The tyres were splashing with water, slowly slowing down, and stopped its huge fuselage.
A boarding car ran quickly in the rain and followed the passenger plane.
In the flight attendant's lounge, a blond flight attendant released her seat belt and quickly tidied up her appearance with her portable makeup box. With a soft smile, she entered the business class and reminded the passengers in the cabin that the plane had arrived at the destination. When the cabin door opened, everyone could get off the plane.
At the end of business class is the first class of the passenger plane.
Every stewardess who often fly international routes knows very well that although the price of first-class air tickets is only a little five times higher than that of economy class, in order to increase the passenger loading rate, airlines will enjoy discounts on any economy class that book tickets in advance, and the highest discount rate on this route is even 40% off.
But first class never gets discounted
After a while, the fares between first class and economy class are up to six times different
Moreover, the first class seats are limited, and passengers who can buy first class tickets are either rich or noble. Those with slightly worse identities are at least the boss of a company or executives of a well-known company, and they can't afford to offend them easily, not to mention that there is a distinguished guest on this flight, and their identity is even more special.
The blonde stewardess adjusted her breathing, knocked on the door, and opened it.
Compared with the narrow economy class, the first class is much more spacious, with only eight seats in the front and rear rows. But it may not be that the seats are a little wider: each row of the economy class has to accommodate six passengers, and only four people in the first class. The leather seats in the box type have a certain amount of private space. The spacing between each row is also large. After extending the bracket, passengers can lie down and sleep comfortably.
Each passenger has a separate large-screen color TV to relieve the loneliness of the journey.
The blonde stewardess opened the cabin door and found that the passengers in the cabin had packed their belongings and were quietly looking out the window, with a hint of scrutiny in his eyes, curious. When the stewardess came in, several passengers nodded politely to her, then turned to look at the front row.
The stewardess took a few quick steps and crossed the back row.
There were four seats in the front row, only two seats on the right, and the two seats on the left were left for a young East Asian passenger with the same national face. He was wearing a snow-white shirt, a blue striped tie, and a buzz cut, and his beard was shaved cleanly. Even in the soft leather seat, his waist was straight and his expression was serious. The passenger seemed to have not noticed that the plane had landed, and he was still flirting with a stack of documents intently, frowning slightly, as if he was concentrating on thinking.
The stewardess stared at him for a second or two before leaning down, pressing him into his ear, and whispered: "Mr. Guan, the plane has arrived at the Kai Tak International Airport in Hong Kong."
"Is it thank you?"
Guan Fei just finished reading a document. Hearing this, he suddenly looked out the window. He saw that the plane had reached the stoppage. In the blurry rain and fog, a blue gangway was leaning on the side of the plane and was docking. He quickly gathered the scattered documents, put them in his briefcase, turned his head slightly, and thanked the stewardess.
"Thank you for taking the Pan American Airlines flight. I hope you will feel happy during the journey. If you take this flight again in the future, we may meet again. This is my business card with my phone number on it." The blonde stewardess with a sweet smile, looking at no one paying attention, boldly took out a business card from her chest, with a strong perfume smell and warm body temperature, and handed it to Guan Fei.
"Mr. Guan, you can get off the plane."
Two men with dark faces and black suits entered from the rear cabin, came to the vicinity, observed the stewardess who was too close, and said respectfully to Guan Fei.
Guan Fei handed the briefcase to one of them, stood up, smiled and nodded to the stewardess, looked around at the other Western-sided passengers in the first class cabin, and smiled heartily: "Welcome to Hong Kong. We have booked a hotel for you in Victoria Harbor. You can go to wash and rest first. I will go back to the company to arrange it, and wait for the evening before we greet you."
"It's very good. I stayed on the plane for more than ten hours and felt so uncomfortable. The food on the plane was also unpalatable. I was planning to find a hotel to take a shower."
Several big belly passengers in the first class cabin responded with a smile and waited politely for him to go first.
Following the bodyguard, Guan Fei walked through the business class and smiled and nodded to the dozens of passengers in the cabin. Walking out of the business class, a group of bodyguards and accompanying him came up.
In the economy class, more people gathered around and greeted him enthusiastically.
The captain opened the hatch door with his own hands, stood sideways, patiently waited for Guan Fei to make a cussing conspiracy, and walked down the gangway under the protection of his bodyguard entourage.
Then, the first class cabin passengers were in the business class. When they finished getting off, the passengers in the economy class flocked to get off the plane through the cabin door.
After everyone left, the stewardess who were waiting for him relaxed, packed up their carry-on luggage in a lively manner, and started chatting with laughter.
"Elena, I saw it. You gave that young gentleman a business card just now."
"Yes, it's useless. I threw a few charming glances at him, but he didn't see them." The blonde beauty sighed, angry but not strong.
"Looking at how young he is, he has been working hard all the way. He is most likely the heir to a large consortium in Hong Kong and is working hard to take over his father's work. For them, career is the most important thing, and women just play casually. Even if they get it for you, they will probably just have a one-night stand with you and forget it when they turn around." Another beautiful flight attendant curled his lips and said with a sour smell.
"I can afford to accept customers with a special plane. I am willing to have such a rich young man even a one-night stand." The blonde beauty snorted from her nostrils, dragged the trolley case and left in her high heels.
"Bitch" stewardess who had just spoken sarcastically, whispered.
Outside the airport, there were already a large number of luxury cars waiting for them. An umbrella was spread out like blooming flowers. When he saw Guan Fei, who was surrounded by crowds, came out immediately.
"Guan, it's very powerful in Hong Kong," Lenslott, general manager of lhk, whispered to Koenig, the product development manager around him.
Other manufacturers who came to inspect were shocked by such a large number of flight pickup teams.
The road outside Kai Tak Airport was very narrow and it was raining again, so it was not convenient for everyone to greet them too much. Guan Fei and the American partners on the same plane greeted each other one by one, took the car, and got on a Mercedes-Benz. Under the escort of two black business vehicles in front and back, he quickly left the airport.
As soon as he got into the car, he took off his coat, pulled off his tie and threw it aside.
"Commander, this time we will spend less than two million US dollars on promoting our portable recorders and electronic components. You also specially booked a special plane, picked up those manufacturers to come for inspection, and then booked a room for them in a luxury hotel. The most expensive business suite, which costs more than 6,000 Hong Kong dollars for one night, is that the expense is too high," Zhou Xiaoshan frowned.
People who are used to hard life like to see money flowing into their pockets most, and they don’t want money to fly out the most.
Speaking of Zhou Xiaoshan hosted Taiyu Technology, he had hundreds of millions of dollars in hand, but Guan Fei's speed of spending two million dollars in just one month still made him feel heartbroken.
In this era, not to mention in China, even in the world, millions are still an extremely huge number, and millionaires are still the highest pursuit of countless people. Most people in the world will never dare to hope that they can achieve this wish in their entire lives.
Even Zhou Xiaoshan himself, although he was in a high position and had hundreds of millions of dollars, he could not guarantee whether he could earn this number of wealth until his death.
He felt it was hard to accept that millions of dollars had turned into a bubble, but had not achieved substantial results.
"What do you mean by Meifeng?" Guan Fei unbuttoned the buttons on the neckline of his shirt and asked to the front side.
Pan Meifeng is now the general manager of Hasbro, and has also become a senior management cadre of Guanfei Group. In the past charm, she has more competent shopping elites. She turned to her side and affirmed: "The commander's approach is very correct. Hasbro, the new era is all new companies. Even Taiyu Technology has only risen in more than a year, and it is even less famous in the United States. Chartering flights and asking customers to stay in high-end business hotels seems to have spent more money, but it can leave the other party with the impression that we are rich and strong. Then show our technical strength, and it will be much easier to discuss cooperation in the future."
"But this has been spent too much, what if the cooperation cannot be reached?" Zhou Xiaoshan still felt a little uneasy.
Although he hosted Taiyu Technology in Hong Kong for a year and a half, he took the time to study business courses and was no longer unfamiliar with the operating model of the business society, Taiyu Technology is basically an exclusive business. Although there are some counterfeit manufacturers in Japan, Europe and the United States, they are still waiting for customers to come to the door. They are not very adaptable to the way to spend huge amounts of money to actively seek partners.
"This is the case in the shopping mall, and input and output are always not proportional. Maybe after spending a lot of money, the goal is still not achieved. But I can't bear to spend money, and the possibility of achieving the goal is even lower. To say whether it is cost-effective or not, it depends on how big our goal is." Pan Meifeng's beautiful eyes circulated and looked at Guan Fei.
Guan Fei smiled, leaned back on the back seat, tapped his fingers gently on the leather seat, and said lightly: "The reason I lobby for this huge inspection team is to try it out, whether it can turn Hong Kong into Oriental Silicon Valley."
His voice was very light and there was no ups and downs, just like a normal chat, but when he heard Pan Meifeng, Zhou Xiaoshan suddenly opened his mouth wide and could not say a word when he stared at him.
They knew that Guan Fei had always had a big goal, but this goal was too big, so big that it was almost empty-minded
What is Silicon Valley? Zhou Xiaoshan, who has been in the electronic technology industry for a year and a half, is already well-known now. It is impossible to imagine if you don’t know.
In terms of geographical sense, Silicon Valley is nothing more than a section of valley located in northern California, starting from the southern part of San Francisco Bay, along Highway 101, including Monroe Park, Parato Golden Mountain View, Sunnyvale, Campbell, and San Jose, a total length of twenty-five miles.
Literally speaking, this 25 Mile Valley factory is mainly engaged in silicon wafer preparation, semiconductor and computer design, production, and even related industrial chains of electronics industry high-density areas.
However, it was in this narrow band that transistor inventor William Shockley founded the Shockley Semiconductor Laboratory, thus opening the prelude to the development of modern semiconductor technology.
After Xiao Keli stopped developing silicon transistors, eight engineers who left angry raised funds to establish Fairchild Semiconductor Company. Fairchild disintegrated, and now it is more famous and will be more brilliant in the future. A will be born, bringing the development of semiconductors to the fast lane of rapid development.
With the support of software and hardware of Intel, A, venture capital companies and other software, countless scientists, engineers, scholars, and college students who are interested in the semiconductor industry have started their own businesses here. Many of them started from scratch and immediately received financial help from venture capital companies after obtaining early success, and then grew stronger in a short period of time.
Over the past few decades, one successful person after another was born in this narrow valley, creating a realistic miracle of becoming rich overnight.
Among these successful people, not only are fairy children shining, but old-fashioned strong men such as Intel, A, and HP standing firmly, but countless new companies are also being established every day.
Just two young men, who were only 21 and 26 years old, founded a company called Apple Computer. They assembled cheap versions of computers by themselves with general-purpose electronic components bought from the market and successfully sold 50 units. Last year, the new generation of more mature Apple second-generation went public and became the first personal computer in history, causing a sensation. They threw 300 million US dollars in a year, becoming the leader of the new generation of Silicon Valley companies with a bright future.
The demonstration effect of successful people has brought Silicon Valley to more and more technological talents and entrepreneurs, and countless people regard it as the first time to start a business. A large number of venture capital companies have also been attracted by the possibility of getting rich returns, and sufficient funds have poured in, making Silicon Valley more attractive.
To this day, Silicon Valley is no longer just a desert valley with dense semiconductor production factories, but the origin of dreams and the heart of the development of American semiconductor technology.
Even further, it is the spokesperson of the strong American technological image
With the UK's technological strength, it is willing to stand at a disadvantage in front of Silicon Valley. Hong Kong, a port city with a lack of technology, can only look up but not look down on it.
Guan Fei actually boasted that he planned to try to develop Hong Kong into the Silicon Valley of the East. Zhou Xiaoshan and Pan Meifeng were speechless except for doubting that they had auditory hallucinations.
No matter how confident they are in Guan Fei, they cannot feel that this idea is possible.
