They are all reborn, and the grandson is still a spare tire

Chapter 667: Slowly figure it out

Three o'clock in the afternoon, Civil Aviation Administration of China.

Director's Office.

Yao Yuan has arrived here, ready to discuss with the Director of the Civil Aviation Administration of China about equipping two private jets with pilots and other crew members.

Also here with him were lawyer Zhong, the general manager of the Beijing branch, and two State Office staff.

After greeting each other and saying a few polite words, Yao Yuan briefly introduced his purchase of a private jet.

Then he got to the point and said with a smile:

"Director Li, the reason why I bothered the Civil Aviation Administration of China about this matter is out of safety considerations and also because of the special instructions from the leaders of the State Council Office."

"Although I can recruit pilots directly on Hong Kong Island, or even call on experienced pilots and crew from Cathay Pacific, I cannot trust pilots recruited from Hong Kong Island."

"Planes are different from trains and cars. They are vehicles that fly at an altitude of 10,000 meters. If nothing happens, the plane will be destroyed and everyone will be killed, so you must be particularly careful."

"So I decided to go through the Civil Aviation Administration of China and ask the leaders of the General Administration to help dispatch a few pilots and crew members, preferably knowledgeable and experienced pilots."

"Pilots who are from the Air Force, have families, and are party members are better. I can give them the best treatment in the aviation field at home and abroad, with an annual salary of at least two million starting..."

Hearing his words, Bureau Li couldn't help but laugh.

"An annual salary of at least two million sounds very attractive. It's a pity that I can't fly a plane, otherwise I would have wanted to be a pilot for you."

"Don't worry, Yao Yuan, the leaders of the State Council Office have called me. Since it is a task assigned by the State Council Office, we will definitely complete it."

"Based on the conditions you put forward, we will start screening and select qualified pilots and crew members as soon as possible to provide high-quality aviation services to Jiuye Investment Group."

"The establishment of these crew members is all under the Civil Aviation Administration of China. Their deployment is not a problem, but your group company needs to pay a management fee to the General Administration of Civil Aviation. The amount is not high."

Yao Yuan smiled and nodded, then continued:

"This is not a problem, Director Li. We will sign the relevant agreement with the General Administration and pay the corresponding fees."

Next, Yao Yuan continued to discuss the matter with Director Li and quickly finalized the details.

As the conversation came to an end, Director Li suddenly changed the subject.

"Yao Yuan, I want to talk to you privately about some things, mainly to hear your opinion."

As he said that, he looked at Lawyer Zhong and the others, and the meaning was self-evident.

Lawyer Zhong and the others understood instantly and immediately stood up.

"Bureau Li, Mr. Yao, let's go out and wait outside. If you need anything, just call us."

"Okay, Teacher Zhong, please wait outside for a while."

Yao Yuan nodded in response.

After the words fell, Lawyer Zhong turned around and walked towards the door first.

Bureau Li's secretary, the deputy director of the Civil Aviation Administration of China, and the general manager of Jiuye Investment Group's Beijing branch followed suit and left the office one after another.

After the office door closed, Director Li whispered:

"Yao Yuan, as far as I know, your Jiuye Investment acquired 15% of Cathay Pacific's equity from the Swire Group some time ago and became the third largest shareholder of Cathay Pacific."

"Air China currently holds about 25% of Cathay Pacific's equity. Based on this calculation, Air China and Jiuye Investment Group control more than 40% of Cathay Pacific's equity."

"If you two join forces, you will obviously be able to control Cathay Pacific. In that case, can we consider taking control of Cathay Pacific?"

Hearing this, Yao Yuan didn't know what Bureau Li was planning.

Obviously, he wants to control Cathay Pacific through Air China and wrest the controlling stake from the Swire Group.

Cathay Pacific Airways ranks among the top ten airlines in the world all year round. It focuses on international shipping business, has a large number of routes, and has a good reputation.

The international shipping business area happens to be the shortcomings of domestic airlines.

Faced with such a big fat piece of meat, as the director of the Civil Aviation Administration of China, can Director Li not be jealous of it?

However, Yao Yuan's thoughts were different from his.

After thinking for a moment, Yao Yuan responded.

He shook his head slightly and said jokingly:

"To tell you the truth, Director Li, I am also very envious of Cathay Pacific Airways, and I also want to get a controlling stake in Cathay Pacific Airways."

"The reason why I acquired 15% of Cathay Pacific's equity from Swire Group is, to a certain extent, to prepare for controlling Cathay Pacific in the future."

"But this matter can only be dealt with slowly and cannot be rushed. To be precise, it is not yet time to compete for the controlling stake of Cathay Pacific Group."

"In order to make the Swire Group relax its vigilance, when acquiring this 15% stake, I promised Schnabe that I would not covet the controlling stake in Cathay Pacific in the short term."

"In exchange, Swire Group must ensure that our interests in Cathay Pacific are not infringed. Otherwise, we have the right to make a tender offer."

The answer he gave made Director Li somewhat surprised.

But Director Li just frowned slightly and didn't say anything.

After a pause, Yao Yuan continued to talk.

“Cathay Pacific’s business is spread all over the world, especially in Western developed countries, and its popularity is very high. It has direct flights to many large and medium-sized Western cities.”

"In this regard, mainland airlines, including Air China, are not as good as Cathay Pacific. This is Cathay Pacific's advantage. It is undeniable."

"If we fight for a controlling stake in Cathay Pacific now, Swire Group and the UK will definitely react violently to prevent us from achieving this goal."

"In fact, even if we achieve our goal and successfully control Cathay Pacific, we will still encounter many difficulties in operating international routes. This is determined by the system and ideology."

"Our takeover of Cathay Pacific will definitely arouse the suspicion of many Western countries, and may even lead to the cancellation of some international routes. This is a bit outweighing the gains and losses."

"As far as the current situation is concerned, since we have more than 40% of Cathay Pacific's equity, we can sit back on Diaoyutai and wait for the right time to come."

"According to the current international economic trends, the shipping business segment of the Swire Group will be greatly impacted in the next one or two years, and may even fall into crisis."

"When the Swire Group is in crisis and our country gains more say in the international community, it will be time for us to take control of Cathay Pacific..."

While Yao Yuanyang was arrogant, the look of shock in Director Li's eyes became more and more serious.

Looking at Yao Yuan talking freely, he even felt like he was looking at a monster.

Soon, more than half an hour had passed.

The office door that had been closed finally opened, and Yao Yuan and Bureau Li walked out of the office together.

Later, accompanied by Bureau Li and others, everyone went downstairs together.

Coming downstairs, Yao Yuan shook hands with Director Li and others one by one and said goodbye, and then left the Civil Aviation Administration of China with Lawyer Zhong and others.

In the blink of an eye, it was already around eight o'clock in the evening.

After dinner and chatting with his parents at home for a while, Yao Yuan made an excuse and took a car to leave the courtyard and go straight to the North Third Ring Road.

In about twenty minutes, he arrived at a high-end community near the North Third Ring Road and stopped in front of a residential building.

After confirming that the scene was safe and that no passers-by were passing by, Yao Yuan got out of the car and walked straight into the residential building.

In a moment, he had arrived at the door of a large house upstairs.

Then he took out the key, opened the door and walked in.

As soon as he entered the door, he was stunned by the scene in front of him and froze on the spot.
