Chapter 1303 This is really a disaster!
At Diwobao Airport, a Boeing 747-8 passenger plane is landing. The passenger plane was riding more than 400 passengers from the Magic City, and these people were organized by the travel agency to come to Ukraine to appreciate the northwest style.
"When we arrive in Wucheng, we must try the authentic folk snacks here. Grilled lamb kebabs, grilled naan, ramen, and pilaf. The food here is very different from that in the mainland, and the price is cheap. I believe everyone will like it."
The tour guide of the travel agency held a small flag and led tourists from dozens or hundreds of people on board the bus while promoting it. Poroshenko, who passed by the bus, attracted a lot of attention with his tall body and handsome pilot uniform.
Poroshenko smiled and greeted the tourists, and slowly walked into the airport staff lounge. There were a few companions in the lounge, and hello to him when they met.
"Hi man." A foreigner dressed in the lounge, dressed in the same pilot, reached out to Poroshenko and said in Russian: "I am Andre, new."
Poroshenko posted his name and smiled and said, "I haven't been here for long."
"I heard you are Ukrainian too?"
"Yes."
"So too, I'm so glad I can escape from that hell. If I don't leave, the bastards in the council will force me to fly the fighter with guns."
Two Ukrainian pilots sat in the lounge chatting, sighing when talking about the situation of their country. Ermao has been messed up by populists, politicians, public officials and other messes in recent years, and it is nothing to say about democracy to the whole world with his nose.
The Soviet legacy was exhausted, and the West was treacherous and refused to help. In addition, Da Mao tried hard to suppress it, the Ermao family was really a bit of a miserable life.
The scale of the Russian-Ukraine war is getting bigger and bigger. Does anyone know where an extremely tragic but highly-level tank battle has occurred? No one knows! Western media would rather pay attention to the pecking chickens in the Middle East than bother to care about the bloody battles in Ukraine.
Poroshenko is a pilot recruited by Xinjiang Airlines recently. His salary is not very high, but he is winning at the fire pit. It is too painful to talk about the motherland, but his new life in Ukraine makes him very heart-to-heart talk.
"Andre, do you see those passenger planes that keep landing? Hundreds and hundreds of passengers are constantly coming from other parts of the country because our company provides extremely cheap air tickets. To be honest, the ticket prices are incredible!"
What Poroshenko lamented was the large number of tourists he saw when he entered the airport. Since the fares for Xinjiang Airlines were cut in half, the tourism industry in Ukraine suddenly increased like an explosion because the fares were too cheap.
In recent years, oil prices have been low, and the most expensive ticket price from Magic City to Ukraine is only over 1,000 yuan, and if it is cheap, it is only 6,700 yuan. And Singapore Airlines cuts the ticket price by half, which is simply cheap. Such cheap fees and government guidance have doubled the number of people traveling to the northwest in the mainland.
The Ukrainian city leaders originally thought that they were losing money and gaining publicity. The political tasks arranged by their superiors must be completed, and all losses must be recognized. However, they did not expect that the reorganized Singapore Airlines brought unexpected gains to people. The sharp increase in tourism industry has caused the city's tax revenue to rise.
If the security situation in the entire northwest can be greatly improved, low-priced air tickets are even a good way to promote economic development.
"But how did our company make the ticket price so cheap?" Andre was also confused.
"There seems to be a government subsidy," Poroshenko said.
Yes, most people attribute the low fares of SIA to government subsidies. But in fact, the company's chairman Lin rejected government subsidies. He said that the government had no need to worry that he would lose money.
But everyone thinks that their boss is cheating you that you make the ticket price so cheap, and you will definitely lose money without government subsidies.
In fact, Zhou Qingfeng is really not a loss, he still has to make a profit. This is a multifaceted reason. The airline's expenditure includes three parts: aircraft procurement costs, fuel costs, personnel and maintenance costs. Among them, aircraft and fuel are the big ones.
Among the fifteen large passenger aircrafts brought by Zhou Qingfeng, twelve were eventually converted into cargo aircraft, and three of them were finally used for passenger transport after repair. Among them, the price of the new Boeing 747-8 is 350 million... US dollars.
But this huge sum of money that accounts for an absolute big deal is zero in SIA. This saves a lot of depreciation costs.
Fuel is supplied by petrochemical companies in Ukraine. In countries rich in oil, such as Venezuela, gasoline is cheaper than water, resulting in huge waste. Although Ukraine's aviation kerosene is not as cheap as water, it has caused a surge in the fuel cost of SIA.
The remaining labor and maintenance costs are relatively low. Zhou Qingfeng even offered high salaries in order to poach people, but the operating costs of the entire SIA were only a fraction of those of other airlines. SIA's ticket prices were cut by half, and its profits were even higher than those of other airlines.
SIA's ultra-low price policy has caused great trouble to other airlines. If SIA hadn't had too few large long-range passenger planes at present, other companies could have given up their route to the northwest.
In this case, no one complains, but complaining can only be said privately. Whoever dares to say it publicly is seeking death.
Even the elder said, "Lin Sen is a good comrade." When others saw him, they had to walk around. There was no way at all. Do you dare to say that Lin Sen maliciously disrupted the market? Believe it or not, Guoan will immediately take you to have tea. The three armies of the Navy, Army and Air Force will confiscate you to rule the dictatorship. The central leaders will only say that they did a good job!
Now all fools understand that Lin Sen’s background is very deep, very deep, and unfathomable!
"Our boss's low-price policy will exhaust us all." Poroshenko kept sighing in the lounge. After he arrived at SIA, he drove the cargo plane, except for normal rest and round-route. All large cargo planes were flying all the time except for necessary maintenance, and they did not change the plane, and they kept changing people and not changing planes for a moment.
"It is said that all the vendors in this city were so happy." Andrey had just arrived, but he also heard the story full of stories. "The e-commerce in this country used to be in the northwest. Now, as long as the goods are worth a certain amount, they are also free of charge. This is terrible, right?"
Andre was older and used to fly planes in Russia. Compared with the express delivery time calculated by Rabbit's family in "days", the efficiency of Russian postal express delivery is calculated in "months". In terms of cost, air cargo of thousands of kilometers actually lowers the cost by half, which is simply a miracle.
In the past, express delivery fees in Xinjiang were extremely high, and sometimes the value of the goods was not as good as the express delivery money. If the value of the goods was low, the express delivery fee was reduced by half; if the value of the goods was high, the price was simply waived.
As a result, the transaction volume of various e-commerce companies in the entire Ukraine city has soared. Now some people use planes to transport hundreds of tons of cantaloupes to the mainland, which is cheaper than buying them in supermarkets.
Xinjiang's agricultural products are in large quantities for takeout, while coastal areas are in large quantities for goods to Xinjiang. Various seafood are flew to Ukraine by air, and the prices are not outrageously expensive. This is a situation where multiple parties can benefit.
Since more than a dozen cargo planes from Singapore Airlines were put into the market, the transportation plan has been scheduled to be short of a few months. Because its cost and timeliness are too outstanding, no one can match it. However, this matter has just begun, and the entire aviation industry thinks that the low-price dumping situation cannot be sustained.
This should be just a low-price strategy launched by Chairman Lin in hopes of seizing the market. It will not last long, it will definitely not last long, it will definitely not last long.
Just when everyone thought that the big star Lin Sen was just playing a gimmick to let Xinhua win a few headlines, Mr. Zhou called Xiao Jinlang to ask for help at a broken airport in Mongolia, "Old Xiao, I have gotten fifty large planes. Please send someone to help!"
