Rebirth of Hong Kong 1981

After warmly embracing the excited Charles Spencer, Yang Chen smiled and said, "It's not that I'm surprised, I'm just a little curious."

"Curiosity of what?" Charles Spencer asked.

"Aren't you graduating soon? Why do you have time to come here?" Yang Chen said.

"Yes," said Charles Spencer bitterly, "next year I'll have to find a job to support myself."

"Hahaha..." Seeing Charles Spencer's bitter face, Yang Chen knew why he came here.

Before the death of the old earl, Princess Diana's father, Charles Spencer could not inherit the title of the family. If he could not inherit the title, the family property was not his. It's not easy to graduate, and I even reached out to my family for money.

Although Charles Spencer is a playboy, he is not a person who is just waiting to die. At least before inheriting the title, he will be an obedient son honestly, and even find a job to exercise himself.

Charles Spencer was relatively lucky. He didn't have other brothers competing with him for the title and family property. Everything in the Spencer family would be inherited by him in the future. As long as he survived until he inherited the title, no one could control him.

"Yang, I'm sorry to trouble you again." At this time, Prince Charles walked down from the gangway, and also gave Yang Chen a warm hug.

Yang Chen glanced at the closed cabin, and asked, "Did the concubine not come this time?"

Prince Charles explained: "No, William has been ill recently, and Diana is taking care of her, so she can't get away for the time being."

Yang Chen nodded, and didn't ask any more questions.

However, Prince Charles was able to come out, which also shows that the little prince's illness is not serious.

"Let's leave the airport first. This place has been blocked for a long time. I have prepared accommodation for you at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel. Prince, you have taken a long flight, where should you go to rest first?"

Regarding Yang Chen's arrangement, Prince Charles and the two had no objection. As the only civil aviation airport in Xiangjiang, Kai Tak Airport carries a large amount of passengers every day. Every minute they delay, the pressure on the airport will increase.

A group of people left the airport quickly, and the reporters outside had already been cleaned up. Yang Chen didn't want the media to over-interpret the purpose of Prince Charles' visit to Xiangjiang twice in January.

got in the car

Through the window, Charles Spencer looked at the people in black constantly gathering outside, the number was somewhat beyond his expectation, "Yang, this is the first time I have enjoyed the ostentation of picking people up."

Yang Chen poured a glass of red wine for Prince Charles, clinked the glass with him and took a sip before saying, "Really? You, the queen's godson, don't fool me."

"What are you doing lying to you?" Charles Spencer turned his head and saw the two of them drinking a glass of red wine happily. He was dissatisfied and said, "Yang, you are too mean, and you won't give me a glass."

"Sorry, I forgot that you are an adult."

Yang Chen shrugged, and after drinking the red wine in the glass, he also poured a glass for this young master.

Chapter 915 Civil Aviation

Arrived at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel

Yang Chen took the two of them to look around the room

Although the hotel is not tentatively scheduled to open to the public and has not emptied out the guests, the number of guests staying has been controlled. People from other places, not particularly well-known guests, are not allowed to stay during the stay of Prince Charles.

This is mainly for safety reasons and to avoid unnecessary accidents.

in the presidential suite

"How is it? Are you satisfied?"

Yang Chen looked at Charles Spencer who was looking around the room and asked, Prince Charles doesn't need to ask, because he has already stayed at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel once.

The room he stayed in this time was the same as last time.

Whether it’s good or not, the room Yang Chen arranged for him is already the best in the Mandarin Oriental Hotel, even if he’s not satisfied, it’s useless.

"Satisfied, very satisfied." Charles Spencer said.

It was the first time he came to Xiangjiang, and what he saw along the way, to be honest, the prosperity of Xiangjiang was indeed beyond his expectations, especially the earliest developed area of ​​Xiangjiang Island.

As the future financial center of Asia, the development of Xiangjiang Island, which has been built for hundreds of years, is no joke.

The place where the Mandarin Oriental Hotel is located is also the most prosperous central location in Xiangjiang, and it belongs to the most elite area of ​​Xiangjiang.

Therefore, in the eyes of Charles Spencer, Xiangjiang, an oriental international metropolis, is no worse than London, the capital of England.

Although Westerners like to look at Eastern issues with their own colored glasses, they have to be divided into people. People like Prince Charles and Charles Spencer, the real aristocratic class in Britain, generally pursue seeking truth from facts.

They won't insist on denying the facts they saw with their eyes. Of course, there is also part of Yang Chen's reason for this.

It is actually very simple to gain the approval of Westerners. As long as your wealth reaches the point where they can only look up to, no matter how proud they are, they will bow their heads in front of you.

"It's good if you're satisfied. If you're not in a hurry to go back to London, you can spend a few more days in Xiangjiang, and I'll send you a special plane to take you back."

"Press?" Prince Charles asked curiously after hearing this, "Yang, have you finished building the airport in Haojiang?"

"No, the airport on the Haojiang River will probably take two or three years to complete. As you know, reclamation is a very time-consuming task. I don't have the ability to transform the airport."

Under the curious eyes of Prince Charles, Yang Chen explained with a smile: "However, the airport I jointly invested and built with the inland government in the Special Economic Zone has successfully tested the flight. If I go abroad in the future, I can bypass Kaide Airport. Don't be afraid Accidentally, I fell into the sea..."

Prince Charles frowned and said, "I remember, it hasn't been two years since you mentioned the airport last time, right?"

"To be precise, it took only one year for it to be repaired."

"More than 20 seats have been built there now. If there are no accidents in the future, there will be hundreds of seats. Based on the population base of the inland area, its scale is several times the current budget of Kai Tak Airport."

"Yang, are you kidding me?" Charles shook his head vigorously, expressing his disbelief in what he said.

We must know that the annual passenger traffic of Kai Tak Airport has not exceeded [-] million, but it is very close to this number. Even so, Kai Tak Airport is already one of the busiest civil airports in Asia.

Now that Yang Chen told him that an airport several times larger than Kai Tak Airport would be built in the inland area, how could Prince Charles believe it.

Now London's Heathrow Airport is known as the busiest airport in Europe, and its annual passenger traffic can barely exceed [-] passengers.

Heathrow Airport is only three times the size of Kai Tak Airport.

Prince Charles didn't believe that a Heathrow Airport could be built inland. Even if it was built, he felt that Yang Chen wouldn't be able to make money from it.

For Prince Charles' doubts, Yang Chen didn't intend to explain too much, no one knew better than him how fast the inland economy was developing.

As the first inland airport open to navigation, that is, Bao'an Airport in the previous Special Economic Zone, the annual passenger volume of later generations exceeded 4000 million, which is more than four times that of the current Kai Tak Airport.

The airport is the foundation of civil aviation development, Yang Chen will not miss it, and will not let foreigners take advantage of it.

The airport invested and built by the special zone was a trial between Inland and Yang Chen, and it was only the beginning. When Bao'an Airport becomes effective, his cooperation with Inland in the airport's civil aviation will begin.

In the future coastal cities, civil aviation in the first-tier cities of Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou, Yang Chen has already begun to lay out. In terms of future inland passenger transportation, according to Yang Chen's idea, there will be no gaps for foreign airlines to exploit.

It's worth a question. The reason why Inland gave him an opening in civil aviation is mainly due to Cathay Pacific Airways. Earlier, Taiguyang had no choice but to sell Cathay Pacific Airways to him in order to avoid confrontation with Yang Chen.

Of course, in order to get Cathay Pacific, Yang Chen also paid a lot of money to help Taikoo overcome the difficulty of lack of funds before, but compared with money, Yang Chen's influence after gaining Cathay Pacific is really great. .
