The capital of Filipinos is not small. The Minister of Tourism and Transport of the Cabinet repeatedly hinted to Lin Zheng that as long as Lin Zheng is willing to take over Philippine Airlines or provide guarantees for Philippine Airlines' financing, they are willing to give Lin Zheng a Boeing 737-400 for free... Lin Zheng will like which one aircraft. In the Philippine Airlines fleet, the two latest Boeing 737-400s were purchased 6 years ago.

"What do you think?" On the way back, Tan Na asked Lin Zheng happily.

"What else can I think about running an airline?" Lin Zheng shook his head with a wry smile: "To be honest, I really don't have this idea. The industry span is too big. The water here is very deep. It's not something that can be played with just money."

Lin Zheng's answer did not surprise Tan Na. She just nodded: "Then why didn't you just reject them?"

"Maybe there will be any ideas in China? Anyway, it's just a favor. Let's listen to the meaning of China." Lin Zheng said indifferently.

He is not sure what Philippine Airlines is like, but he cannot rule out the possibility that domestically have some ideas about Philippine Airlines. It is precisely because of this that when talking to the Filipinos, Lin Zheng's attitude was vague. He did not give Filipinos a positive answer, but also gave Filipinos room to imagine... As for whether Filipinos would call themselves a bad guy behind their back, they would be ignorant.

"Okay." After thinking about it, Tan Na nodded.

………………………………………

Lin Zheng was not interested in Philippine Airlines, but the domestic reaction was obviously abnormal. That night, a guy from the Civil Aviation East China Bureau called Liu Tao called Lin Zheng's phone... There is no doubt that Lin Zheng's phone number was transferred to this guy by senior management.

Lin Zheng vaguely had some impression of this guy. He seemed to be the deputy director of the Civil Aviation East China Bureau or the secretary of the Party Group. He seemed to have an official position on Air China. I can't remember the specific position, but he is definitely one of the core senior management of the Civil Aviation East China Bureau.

The domestic side attaches great importance to this matter if you ask such a person to negotiate with him.

I know it's very late now, Deputy Director Liu... Let's just treat him as Deputy Director... in a very polite tone, "Mr. Lin, Air China is more interested in acquiring Philippine Airlines. Can you tell me what you know?"

"It may be difficult to acquire directly," Lin Zheng understood the meaning of the other party's words, and he was not optimistic about their ideas. However, this was not what he cared about, and said bluntly: "Mr. Chen Yongzai, chairman of Philippine Airlines, is to provide loan guarantees or sell some shares. These shares should be based on not affecting his control over Philippine Airlines. I think this level of acquisition is of little significance to Air China."

"That's right..." Deputy Director Liu was silent, thought for a moment before saying: "Mr. Chen Yongzai, chairman of Philippine Airlines, is a Chinese. Can you think of a solution from this perspective?"

"I don't think there is much hope," Lin Zheng flatly denied Deputy Director Liu's idea. He said: "Although Mr. Chen Yongzai and I have been in contact for a short time, I can feel it through this banquet tonight, whether it is Mr. Chen Yongzai or the Philippine senior management, they seem to be very alert to domestic capital.

As for Mr. Chen Yongzai, although he is a Chinese, as far as I see it, it seems that he does not regard himself as a Chinese at all, but as a Filipino. Of course, if Air China has more strategic considerations, it is not a bad thing to contact Philippine Airlines."

The other party obviously understood what Lin Zheng said. After a moment of silence, he said to Lin Zheng: "Thank you, Mr. Lin. If you can, please stay in the Philippines for a while..."

"Director Liu, I'm really embarrassed," Lin Zheng refused his request without waiting for the Air China leader to finish his words, saying: "There are many things in the company, and I can only stay here for two days at most. If Air China is really interested in Philippine Airlines, you'd better arrange someone to come."

Lin Zheng was a little angry: You are so easy to use people, you just arrange work for your buddies? What a joke? My buddies have hundreds of thousands of people in a minute, staying in this place where birds don’t poop to help you?! What do you think? Who gave you so much courage?

Lin Zheng's attitude Deputy Director Liu was stunned for a moment before he realized that Lin Zheng was not someone he could instruct casually. He smacked his lips depressedly, sighed, and said, "That's a pity, but I'll have trouble with Mr. Lin in the past two days."

Lin Zheng has already given himself a lot of face to be able to help him for two days, and he really can't ask Lin Zheng for more.

"Wait a minute..." Tan Na suddenly gently pulled Lin Zheng's sleeve and gestured to Lin Zheng with such a lip.

What's the matter? Lin Zheng was stunned, then covered the microphone and asked softly: "What's the matter?"

"Does mouse say they want to expand air transportation?" Tan Na whispered in Lin Zheng's ear.

...Why did I forget this?! Lin Zheng patted his forehead.

As Jiaji Express business expands, the company's requirements for speed and time are getting higher and higher. Chen Hao has not mentioned this matter to Lin Zheng once or twice, saying that it would be great if the company could have its own fleet.

In order to improve its express delivery speed, Jiaji Express cooperates with major domestic airlines to rent their aviation containers for long-term rental and fixed shipping weight ratios for some regular flights. For example, the load capacity of a full-passenger Boeing 737-300 is 2.5 tons, while Jiaji Express directly contracted 1 ton of the load capacity for a long time.

This method is of course good, but airlines have to make money. Whether it is long-term rental air containers or long-term rental transportation, the price is not cheap. Chen Hao told Lin Zheng more than once that if the company has its own aircraft, it will be much more convenient, and there is no need to do more. Even if there are three Boeing 737-300s, it can reduce the overall transportation cost by 20%.

There are also express companies with their own fleets. The famous FedEx has hundreds of freight aircraft, which is one of Boeing's largest customers. A few years later, several leading private express companies in China have purchased their own freight aircraft one after another. However, at present, the State Administration of Civil Aviation has refused to let go of this. Lin Zheng has discussed this issue several times with the leaders of the State Administration of Civil Aviation on this issue, but without exception, everyone shook their heads like a fan shaking their heads... Also, who would like to push the meat in their mouths out?

It was just that it was a bit long since Chen Hao and Lin Zheng mentioned this last time. Knowing that the Civil Aviation Administration of China refused to give in, Lin Zheng could only wait until the time was ripe. If it weren't for Tan Na's reminder, Lin Zheng would have forgotten it.

After pondering for a while, Lin Zheng suddenly asked, "Director Liu, let me ask you something, this matter is very important to Air China?"

Although I don’t understand why Lin Zheng suddenly changed his mind, no matter what the reason was, Lin Zheng’s attitude change was something Air China hoped to see. Without time to think about it, Deputy Director Liu said without hesitation: “It’s very important, leaders attach great importance to this matter!”

As for why the leader attaches great importance to this matter, Director Liu didn't say it. Lin Zheng didn't know how to ask. After thinking for a moment, Lin Zheng said, "Let's do this, I'll stay here for 5 days. You can arrange someone as soon as possible, preferably someone without an obvious official background."

"I understand," Director Liu said understandingly: "Thank you, Mr. Lin, you have helped us a lot."

After hanging up the phone, Lin Zheng curled his lips to Tan Na: "I hope this guy can still thank you then."

Tan Na smiled with her lips pursed.

………………………………………

Chen Yongzai paid great attention to Lin Zheng's arrival. The next day, he could not accompany Lin Zheng to see the two Boeing 737-400s that were about to be given to Lin Zheng. Not only did he call Lin Zheng personally to apologize, but he also specially arranged his son to come and accompany Lin Zheng.

Chen Yongzai's son doesn't look like Chen Yongzai at all. Chen Yongzai is a thin old man. He can play the role of middle-aged and elderly people in the Loess High Slope in the 1960s and 1970s without using makeup. However, Chen Daliang is white and fat, with smooth skin, and his hair is meticulously combed backwards. The amount of wax on his head can definitely break several legs of the fly. At first glance, he is a typical pampered and wealthy family.

"Mr. Chen is so polite," said Lin Zheng, shaking hands with Chen Daliang, "Chairman Chen just arranges for us to take a look. How can he be embarrassed to work with Mr. Chen?"

Perhaps it was because I was repeatedly reminded by me, or because Lin Zheng's reputation was too loud, Chen Daliang was extremely polite to Lin Zheng, and he did not have the arrogant arrogance of a wealthy young man at all, and he was well educated. He said to Lin Zheng politely: "Mr. Lin, don't be so polite. Mr. Lin's achievements in the United States are the pride of all Chinese. Friends in Southeast Asia admired Mr. Lin very much when talking about Mr. Lin. Everyone hoped that Mr. Lin could stay more this time."

This is a disguised invitation. Being able to meet the wealthy Chinese business group in Southeast Asia, Lin Zheng couldn't find a reason to refuse, and nodded with a smile: "Being able to learn from the seniors in Southeast Asia is my always dream..."

The two chatted along the way, and the car soon arrived at Manila International Airport. Through the special passage, the car entered the tarmac on the north side of the airport without any obstacles. There were more than 10 various aircraft on the tarmac in front of them, and the most common one was a model with two engines on the rear side of the fuselage, with about 6. Although Lin Zheng could not tell what the model it was, the layout of this tail-hanging engine was a typical Western civil aviation aircraft design style from the late 1950s to the early 1970s. It was obvious that these aircraft were a bit old and looked extremely old...

Chen Daliang's tone was a little emotional and sad: "Mr. Lin, it's here." (To be continued, please search Piaotianwen, the novel is better and faster!
