While Xiao Qi closed his eyes to rest, he remembered some things related to aircraft shipping.
By the end of this year, international oil prices will soar directly to around 100. In July next year, oil prices will unprecedentedly break through to 147.27 US dollars per barrel.
Also in this regard, as the financial crisis continued to spread and oil prices continued to rise, Chinese passenger airlines, including many investment funds and companies, were frightened and deceived into buying high-priced oil to hedge.
Preserving value, the result happened to be the highest stage.
When the futures were delivered, they were shocked to find that the oil price did not continue to rise as those investment banks said. Instead, it quickly plummeted by more than 60%, causing them all to suffer heavy losses, except for a few particularly strong companies.
In addition to airlines, other financial companies all fell to this massacre and became a laughing stock in the international financial market.
Therefore, in the following years, airlines took a large amount of high-priced oil and continued to operate while weeping and gritting their teeth. It was not until 2012 that they finally recovered.
Xiao Qi actually sympathized with them, not because they were idiots who were deceived, but because after they were deceived, they did not turn around like these bastards from Three Barrels of Oil and transferred all the losses to the consumers.
When the international oil price is the cheapest, we are still using the most expensive oil - can you imagine that our average income is one-tenth that of Americans, but our oil price is still more expensive than theirs? But this is the fact
! No matter how much the so-called liars make wild claims, in today’s age of the Internet, their lies can be easily exposed!
Several major airlines gritted their teeth and did not raise prices much except for a slight increase in fuel surcharge.
Compared to the irresponsible and shameless incompetence of Three Barrels of Oil, the airline has some backbone and is worth helping!
Although these airlines have nothing to do with Xiao Qi, Chinese companies are always cheated by foreign investment banks, and Xiao Qi is not happy in terms of face!
Moreover, if the relationship is improved and they remember their kindness, it will always be a good thing for Fairy Airlines in the future and for the smooth delivery of Xiaoyao Express's cargo!
After all, no matter how powerful Fairy Airlines is, it will not be able to transport all air items by itself in the future.
It is impossible for a cargo airline to endlessly purchase aircraft and waste resources; at the same time, too frequent use is also very detrimental to the maintenance of the aircraft, so it still needs to use the cargo space of these airlines' passenger aircraft.
In March, Niu Ruzheng ordered Sinopec, CNOOC, and China National Aviation Oil to follow CNPC and buy a large amount of oil between 56 and 60 US dollars, but the airlines did not follow suit and were just waiting and watching.
Because these airlines now have their own autonomy, unlike the central enterprises in the petroleum system, which can use administrative orders to ask them to do something.
However, as oil prices have continued to rise in recent months, airlines have felt the pressure and have secretly contacted Cao Zhichong to inquire.
From the perspective of their operations team, they certainly don’t want to suffer any losses.
Airlines, which are large consumers of fuel, are not too sensitive to fuel prices, but if the difference is too big, it will still make people a little scared.
Xiao Qi's trip to the capital this time will allow Cao Zhichong to clarify his interests to these people and let them buy more oil, so as to avoid as much as possible the tragedy of Air China, China Southern Airlines and China Eastern Airlines alone losing 28 billion yuan on oil in the previous life.
Xiao Qi's words may not be effective across lines of communication, but if Cao Zhichong, who is now the unparalleled giant in the domestic oil industry, speaks to him, I believe they will still listen to some extent!
…
Capital International Airport.
When the plane landed smoothly and was still taxiing on the runway, a beautiful stewardess was sitting next to the cabin door, talking quietly to her companions.
"Haha, young people nowadays love to brag more and more... Just now, what do you think I heard the young couple in the first class say? That little beauty with big breasts actually said that she wanted to buy one for herself.
Plane, give that boy another plane~"
"Scare~~ It's not so unreliable, right?"
"Yes, they can fly first class casually without any courtesy. They should come from a wealthy family, but can they just buy the plane casually? They gave tens of millions to children to play with. She thought she was Xiao Qi's daughter.
?”
"Puch~ Xiao Qi is less than 20 years old, okay? How can there be such an old daughter?"
"So, except for Xiao Qi, the former daughter of the richest man Liu wouldn't dare to say such big words, right?"
"Tch! The richest man Liu is only a few billion yuan. Xiao Qi's 20 shares are worth 40 billion US dollars. Bill Gates is not on the same level as him. How can he compare?"
As the two women muttered, the plane over there had stopped. After hearing the captain's words of thanks, they quickly followed the procedure and opened the cabin door.
"Wow..."
A burst of hot air poured into the cabin. It was extremely hot in the capital at noon, which was almost unbearable.
"Please take it as a salute and walk slowly~"
“Thank you for your ride and welcome to come again next time~~”
"..."
The two stood at the door of the cabin, saying goodbye to the passengers with smiles on their faces.
After arriving at their destination, most of the passengers were in a hurry to get out of the airport, so they walked very quickly through the air link channel and walked outside.
Seeing that no one was coming out anymore, the two stewardesses were about to breathe a sigh of relief and sit down to take a rest. Suddenly, the curtain separating the first class cabin from the outside opened, and two stern-looking women walked in front.
Then there was a young couple holding hands. Behind them, a group of men and women in black suits lined up neatly and followed the two people out.
The flight attendant, whose buttocks were about to fall on the simple chair, was stunned when she saw it. She stood up as if she had been equipped with a spring, but she was speechless for a moment.
It wasn't until the group of people disappeared at the door of the cabin that the two beautiful stewardesses realized that their heads were dripping with sweat.
"Xiao Xin, they...are they the braggarts you call them?" the companion asked stammeringly.
"I think...probably...no~~" The beautiful stewardess also stuttered.
He is followed by more than a dozen tough male and female bodyguards when traveling. Could this be a child from an ordinary rich family?
Liu, the richest man in Shuchuan, his predecessor, definitely did not have this kind of pomp!
Who are these two people?
Are they really Xiao Qi’s relatives!? (To be continued. Please search Piao Tian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!)
