Chapter 1251 (1/2)
Li Dong originally thought that there should be nothing wrong today.
Except for having to go to the birthday party in the evening, all other time is free.
But the car on the road, Li Dong received a call from Bai Su, and LAN Xingguo came back.
Soon after Bai Su's phone call came, LAN Xingguo himself also called.
This time, he went abroad for a long time. He went to Europe and the United States once again, just to purchase airplanes for the airlines to be established.
In 2008 financial crisis, the freight market has been subject to certain fluctuations, and some airlines in various countries are not operating well, which has been greatly affected.
Second hand aircraft sales business, has also become the emergency policy of major airlines.
LAN Xingguo went abroad to purchase second-hand aircraft.
The purchase of two mobile phones is almost the norm in the industry.
One is cheap. The other is that the cargo plane does not require high details. It is different from the passenger plane. It is too old and easy for passengers to resist.
In general, the aircraft life is relatively high.
Internationally, Boeing's passenger and cargo aircraft have even been in service for more than 30 years. So far, some companies are using these old aircraft.
Therefore, Li Dong did not contradict the purchase of the second mobile phone.
Cheap, usable, safe, that's enough.
It's not a beauty contest. In order to be beautiful, we have to deal with the appearance again. It's no different from the new one. It's hard to see how many people can go inside the plane.
And now, in the domestic express industry, there is no express company that has its own aircraft, except that the post has purchased about 20 Boeing 737 series freighters for EMS.
Shunfeng, as the first private airline in China, has just been established. Now it is still empty and has almost nothing.
Although there are many planes under it, they are actually the cargo planes of Yangtze River Express and East China Sea airlines, which are really downwind, and none of them.
Second hand aircraft is not worth any more, it is also a big guy flying in the sky, even if the second-hand aircraft is not cheap.
At present, Shunfeng has not been able to purchase alone.
Far away now to purchase their own aircraft, once the transaction is concluded, the plane will go to the sky, that is the real sense, the first private express airline in China will take off.
As for whether to buy or rent, in fact, we have discussed it for many times.
Finally, after careful calculation, they all felt that renting was not very cost-effective.
At present, the domestic air cargo market is monopolistic, and the rent is very high.
It's not cheap to rent a few airlines' planes along the wind. The annual rent is almost one sixth of the purchase price of a second-hand cargo plane.
In other words, if you rent it for more than six years, you can almost buy a two cell phone.
And the general second-hand cargo plane, at least 15 to 20 years of service, such a calculation, if conditions permit, it is more cost-effective to purchase.
……
Far away building.
As soon as Li Dong arrived, people in the conference room immediately got up to greet him.
There are not many people. Wang Yue, vice president in charge of logistics group, LAN Xingguo, President of airlines, is bound to be there. In addition, there are some middle and low-level executives and experts.
Besides them, Qin Hai, who has not been seen for many days, is also here.
In the past year, there have been a lot of distant logistics businesses and heavy tasks. Qinhai has been running around the country for at least half a year, but Jiangbei has come back less.
Seeing Qin Hai, Li Dong's face does not change, but his eyes subconsciously avoid each other.
Qin Hai didn't say anything, let alone look at Li Dong. When Li Dong asked people to sit down, Qin Hai sat down with his head down, hardly looking at Li Dong from the beginning to the end.
Li Dong sighed in his heart. On this occasion, he knew that there was nothing to say.
As soon as he sat down, Li Dong looked at LAN Xingguo and said with a smile, ”brother LAN, I'm tired.”
LAN Xingguo had a little wind and frost on his face, but his spirit was excited: ”it's a little tired, but it's worth it.
In recent years, I have hardly been out of Sichuan and Sichuan. I have been sitting in the office all day. I feel that I am really old and should retire.
Since I came to the distant place, I have been rejuvenated by the second spring, and I have lived a full life, as if I had been back 20 years ago. ”
Li Dong said with a smile: ”the second spring is enough for career rejuvenation. Don't be radiant for others. If your sister-in-law knows about it, you can't ask me for trouble.”
All of them burst into laughter. LAN Xingguo quickly waved his hand and said, ”I'm 60 people now. Don't make a joke with me. I have no face to see people when it comes out.”
Li Dong laughed and exchanged greetings.
After the exchange of greetings, Li Dong returned to the main topic and said, ”Mr. LAN, let's talk about the situation briefly.
We have to speed up the process of buying our own plane. I'm still waiting for our plane to soar in the sky.
Now we don't have enough planes to rent for logistics.At present, because we can keep up with the land transportation, there is not much trouble.
However, with the further expansion and prosperity of the e-commerce industry, our online and offline systems further expand and cover, and speed has become the lifeblood and core competitiveness of logistics.
So we have to be faster, faster, to meet our needs. ”
LAN Xingguo nodded his head and said, ”I know all these. So this time, we have been to 8 countries, more than 20 aviation enterprises, and even visited several aircraft manufacturing enterprises.
When I was in Sichuan last time, didn't I tell you that I liked two series?
One is the Boeing 747-400f and the other is the Boeing 757-200.
The front one is full freight, and the latter is passenger to cargo. At that time, I was preparing to purchase in Sichuan Airlines.
Both of them have the advantages of strong endurance, ocean shipping and global freight transportation.
But that was the original Sichuan Airlines, Sichuan Airlines has international freight demand.
At present, there is no such demand in the distance, so I discussed with several of Mr. Qin that it is not suitable to purchase these two models at present.
Instead, the Boeing 767-300f freighter is more suitable for us.
This is a model that Boeing only launched in 1995. First of all, the aircraft is not very old. Even if it is the first batch put into operation, it has only been 13 years.
At that time, there was not much production. Most of them were put into operation and made their first flight in about 00 years. At present, almost all the second mobile phones on the market have lasted less than 10 years.
If we purchase it, it will be easy to maintain it properly and use it for 20 years.
On the other hand, the 767-300f is a dedicated cargo plane, which can be put into use at the fastest speed without modification.
The standard range is 6000 km, and the endurance capacity is not too strong, but not weak. It is more than enough in China.
This kind of aircraft with shorter voyage is more suitable for express delivery industry.
Ups and FedEx, the two largest express companies in the United States, have purchased a large number of 767 series aircraft.
This time, I went to the two families for an inspection. They didn't refuse to accept us.
Through our investigation, we know that 767 series has many advantages in short and medium distance flight, and it is also very suitable for express delivery industry.
Especially the 300F type, the load capacity is not low, full load of 50 tons.
All year round, an aircraft, in accordance with normal operation, does not overload, pilots get enough rest time, full load limit close to 10000 tons!
If we purchase 20 767-300f models this time, the annual shipping capacity should reach 200000-250000 tons.
This is our own business. Some of the belly compartments we rent can also reach about 50000 tons per year.
The annual maximum shipping volume of 300000 tons is enough to meet our current development.
According to our survey, the air express transportation volume of Shunfeng in 2008 was about 150000 tons, while the far-off one was less than 100000 tons.
The theoretical 300000 tons may be less than that, and there must be 250000 tons. According to our current development, it is absolutely satisfied. ”
In Sichuan and Sichuan, Li Dong proposed the annual air transport capacity of 200000 tons.
LAN Xingguo is obviously in accordance with this scale, even if the distance in the air transport, only 100000 tons less than.
The reason why Shunfeng has so many is that it is their national type pick-up. Moreover, in the express delivery industry, Shunfeng is indeed larger than that in the distance.
After listening to LAN Xingguo's introduction, Li Dong looked at other people. Obviously, all of them knew about it and nodded slightly, which could be regarded as acquiescence to LAN Xingguo's statement.
In fact, Li Dong is at a loss about these models.
But it's OK. He just cares whether he can meet the requirements or not. He only cares about the results and the process. These things are handed over to professionals.
Since LAN Xingguo and Qin Hai, including experts, feel that this model can meet the requirements of distant places, it is enough.
