In fact, ordering so many planes at one time is mainly because Rashid wants Dubai to become a well-deserved air traffic hub in the UAE. The UAE relies on the Persian Gulf, making every emirate on the sea. In terms of wharf construction, no one can compare to Fucaira. After all, with the help of Heiyun Group, everything is very fast.
Now that the sea has fallen behind, the air superiority cannot be lost. Therefore, it must be deployed in advance. When other emirates are not ready, the advantages of flydubai have already formed; only in this way can they take a place in the future development. Otherwise, it will not only be inferior to Abu Dhabi, but may also be surpassed by Fucaira.
Although the probability of this happening is very high, I don't want Dubai to have no advantage at all. That's why airports are being expanded and planes bought aggressively.
In fact, Bao Zixuan also thought about building an airport in Fucaira. But finally gave up the idea. It is not very far from Dubai itself. And it has been decided to build a high-speed rail from Dubai Airport, as well as a ten-lane highway. Then it will only take one hour from Dubai Airport to reach Fucaira, and half an hour by high-speed rail. It can be said that it is very convenient just like its own airport.
Moreover, the land area of Fucaira is too small. If a large international hub airport is to be built, the land issue alone will be a troublesome problem. However, the richest man in Bao is not unprepared at all. After all, the role of the airport in the future cannot be ignored.
Therefore, Fucaira will also build an airport, but it is only a dual-use airport. Moreover, it is mainly used for military use, while civilian use will only be used for parking private planes and transporting materials.
At the same time, to deal with emergencies in the future, the internal roads of Fucaira will be expanded. Any road can be changed to a field airport within 24 hours. So many steel raw materials exchanged from the US military were basically shipped to Fucaira and Huaxia.
Fucaira is so old, it can be said that the roads and buildings are made of steel, but it is not enough.
The richest man, of course, understands what Dubai means. Since he wants to become an aviation hub, he can give it a shot. In the future, Fucaira will seek status, and Dubai will definitely not be reconciled. But after all, it is also a country, and many things need to be well communicated and coordinated.
Bao Zixuan said with a smile: "Buying so many planes, Dubai International Airport will definitely need to expand in the future. So I want to do it in one step, at least in the next few decades without having to worry about parking spaces. Fuchaira is not going to build a civil airport, after all, Dubai One is enough. I want to build a highway from Fucaira, and a high-speed rail link to Dubai International Airport.”
Roads and railways will definitely need to occupy a part of Dubai land, or you have to say hello in advance. As for compensation, Bao's richest man will not be stingy.
It turns out that this kid is waiting for him here, but this is a good thing for both parties. After the expansion of Dubai International Airport, more passengers are needed. The development of Fucaira is obvious to all, and the future is definitely promising.
There must have been many people in Fucaira in the past, and it is estimated that roads and railways are also for this purpose.
And Fujairah is closely linked to Dubai, even united; even Abu Dhabi has to give face.
Rashid: "If the expansion is too large, it will inevitably be a little tight in terms of funding."
The kid agreed to expand, but made it clear that he wanted funds. Fortunately, Bao's richest man was well prepared in this regard, so he said with a smile: "There are three main expenditures for the expansion of the airport, of which land is readily available; that is to say, as long as the land is provided by Dubai, all materials are provided by Fucaira. Provided; as for other costs such as labor, I believe Abu Dhabi is willing to bear it.”
Or a businessman with a flexible mind, the expansion of the airport itself feels like a huge expense. But this kid, to put it lightly, got it right. Dubai just provides land, then things are much simpler. The surrounding area of the airport is full of royal land, and there is no place in itself.
As for materials and labor, Fucaira certainly has no money. But the kid must be willing to pay, so there's no problem. Abu Dhabi has a little labor cost, but there is still no big problem. No matter how you look at it, it's very reasonable. It can be said that Bao Zixuan's idea was very thoughtful!
In fact, the richest man Bao also has selfish intentions. He must find a place to use it in exchange for so much steel from the Americans. The area of Fucaira is still too small to be used up. The expansion of Dubai Airport can be fully discounted according to the market price. Of course, some parts of the airport need special customization, and that's okay; Heiyun's factories in China's deep sea, Fucaira in the Middle East, and Saudi Arabia can all meet the technical requirements.
Rashid said with a smile: "Mr. Bao is still thoughtful. In that case, it doesn't matter how big the construction is; there is still a lot of land around the airport."

Now the land price in Dubai is not very expensive, wait until after entering the millennium. Land in Dubai is a scarce resource. The bigger the territory is now, the more benefits will be gained in the future. Moreover, providing raw materials is a simple matter for the current Black Cloud Group.
The Hutchison Plaza in mainland China, even if it starts construction, is so fast. The steel and other raw materials exchanged by the United States must be stored somewhere, and the most important thing is to make good use of them. Dubai International Airport expansion project, obviously very suitable.
Bao Zixuan: "Just do it like this, find the most famous designer in the world. It doesn't matter how much you spend, you have to make Dubai Airport different."
Hearing that this kid was so bloody, Rashid was a little confused. In any case, he should be more inclined to Fujairah, how can he support Dubai's development so much. It can only be said that the mind of the super rich cannot be understood by ordinary people. The expansion of the airport is definitely good for Dubai's development, as long as this is kept in mind, it doesn't matter.
In fact, Bao Zixuan wants to get a seat in advance and build a Heiyun store in Dubai Airport. And it is also a super flagship store. I believe that future sales will definitely be an astronomical figure. It's just that these are small things, and I believe that no sheikh will object to attracting tourists into Dubai.
The airport can only be regarded as a small episode, and the next step is to negotiate around the purchase of aircraft.
Rashid said with a smile: "Although Heiyun's products are never discounted, you are also a shareholder of Emirates Airlines. This time the order is so large, should you consider it?"
Not cutting prices is a long-established strategy, and this Bao Zixuan is not easy to change, after all, he can't be proud of himself. But as a partner, you still need to be flexible.
Bao Zixuan: "There are four planes produced by United Aircraft Manufacturing Company. However, the 919 passenger plane produced by Heiyun Group, I can give it to each emirate for free. It is a little thought, so that everyone can balance their hearts. "
At present, the UAE consists of seven emirates, although Sharjah does not occupy a lot of shares in Emirates; it will still be reserved for them symbolically. In other words, the Black Cloud Group sent 7 planes at one time, which is definitely a big deal.
In fact, Rashid knew that this kid wanted to increase his influence, but that was a headache for Abu Dhabi. As long as Dubai can get benefits, nothing else matters.
The richest man in Bao really had this idea. After all, the war between Fucaira and Sharjah made other emirates around him feel resentful. In the future, if you want to have influence in the UAE, you must show your generosity.
Of course, the little Fucaira will not be satisfied, but the international situation does not allow a businessman to be too idealistic, let alone willful. Then we can only continue to divide and disintegrate neighboring countries. If you plant melons, you will get beans; if there is no sign at all, no one will be convinced.
It looks like a loss of around $200 million but this loss is insignificant compared to future earnings.
Rashid said with a smile: "You're still a generous kid, and I'll do as you say. However, the airline's book funds are still a little tight. The bank will provide some loans, but at the same time, shareholders need to raise 5 billion US dollars."
The $5 billion is allocated to Bao Zixuan, which is about $1.5 billion; this amount is not much.
Bao Zixuan: "No problem, I will arrange the remittance tomorrow."
It's good to work with rich people; never procrastinate in doing things.
This is the largest order in the history of civil aviation so far; it was reached in an understated conversation between the two. It can be said that the two of them are not talking about business at all, and they want to chat and catch up. But as long as it can be done, it may be worth doing.
