Chapter 357 The Game of East Asian Cities
At [-] o'clock the next morning, EgyptAir's general meeting of shareholders was held on time at the aviation building in Addis Ababa. This is a regular meeting of EgyptAir every six months.

There are many topics in this shareholders meeting, such as announcing relevant policies, reviewing the business report proposed by the board of directors, discussing the issue of opening up new routes, and forming a final resolution. According to the meeting process, the above contents will be held in sequence.

The first two items did not take much time and ended in less than an hour. After a 10-minute break, the shareholders walked into the meeting room again.

The first thing to discuss is the opening of international routes for large passenger aircraft. At present, EgyptAir has introduced 7 new aircraft, including 5 large passenger aircraft and 2 737 medium-sized passenger aircraft.

The large aircraft model is the latest model of Boeing 787, which can fly across continents, with a maximum flight distance of 13000 kilometers, which means that it can reach most countries in the world from Addis Ababa.

There are 5 alternate airports for the 7 routes, namely Imperial Capital, Magic Capital, Seoul, Tokyo, New York, London, and Paris.

Before the meeting, more than 20 major shareholders formed three forces. One was local forces represented by Addis Ababa local entrepreneur Babatu, and the other was Western capital forces represented by American Mills. , as well as the East Asian power represented by the capital injection of the Bangzi Kingdom Yaqi consortium.

First of all, Mills spoke on behalf of Western capital forces. According to their concept, if Ethiopian Airlines wants to develop rapidly, it must form a seamless connection with the central hub city of the West. The specific method of this seamless connection is to speed up traffic communication. Therefore, Mills suggested that the three western metropolises must add air routes. As for the other two routes, Mills chose Seoul and Tokyo. In their view, Seoul and Tokyo, the two East Asian super international metropolises, are the most important cities in East Asia and even Asia. In addition, Bangzi Country and the island country are both developed countries, and they have invested a lot overseas in recent years. Therefore, he suggested that the opening points of these two routes should be Seoul and Tokyo respectively.

The next person on stage was Mr. Park Myung-chang, the marketing director of the Yaqi Foundation. This guy had a typical Korean stick face. According to his idea, Seoul would naturally bear the brunt. Next, he suggested considering Shanghai and the three major western cities.

The last person to take the stage was Babatu. According to Mr. Franlo, Mr. Babatu had the experience of studying in China, and he had a natural intimacy with Chinese people.

Sure enough, Babatu’s choice was the three major cities in the West and China’s imperial capital and magic capital. As for why Huaxia suddenly had two cities shortlisted, Babatu’s explanation is that China has firmly occupied the second largest economy in the world in recent years. The status of a superpower in Ethiopia, the Chinese people provide more jobs in the whole of Ethiopia than other countries combined. For such a superpower, it is natural to need to strengthen cooperation.

Hundreds of shareholders in the audience watched the contest of the power of the three major shareholders with great interest. After the three major powers finished their presentation, everyone found that the three major western cities had actually been settled. It has become a game in the East Asian aviation industry.

At this time, it was time for lunch at 01:30 noon. According to the usual practice, the host announced the adjournment and rest, and the meeting was scheduled to continue at [-]:[-] pm.

Sitting in the huge conference room for a whole morning, Yang Tianlong felt that he hadn't had such a long meeting for a long time, so after more than three hours, he couldn't help but feel uncomfortable all over his body.

Franlo didn't seem to have any feelings. During lunch, he told Yang Tianlong that when he was a videographer for Animal Channel, he often stayed motionless in the grass or woods for a long time.

"So the animal world we've seen before was filmed like this?" After listening to Franlo's narration, Yang Tianlong suddenly realized.

"That is, animals are very sensitive, and even the slightest movement will scare them. But now, with various high-definition camera equipment, cameramen don't have to stay motionless like wooden men for a long time like we used to."

"You are really good." Yang Tianlong couldn't help giving a thumbs up.

"Haha, it used to be pure love, otherwise I wouldn't have persisted for several years. I remember that in order to photograph a giant python in the Amazon rainforest more than 20 years ago, I dared to go down to the river to shoot. The closest thing to that giant python is The distance is only about one meter. At that time, our producer insisted that I sit in a special box to shoot. The box is just a one-meter cube. It is not easy to shoot in it, so I rejected his kindness at that time. , I just jumped down alone, and now that I think about it, I’m really very courageous.” Franlo couldn’t help but smile as he said.

Amazon rainforest?When he heard his father-in-law mention it, Yang Tianlong immediately thought of Eva and the immortal grass that Eva said.

"Then have you ever heard of a kind of immortal grass in the Amazon rainforest?" Yang Tianlong asked suddenly.

"The blood orchid in Python's Plague? I remember that movie was filmed on Borneo Island in Indonesia, and the background should be Indonesia."

"Indonesia?" Yang Tianlong couldn't help being stunned for a moment, and then he smiled awkwardly. It turned out that he always thought that the film "Looking for Blood Orchid" was filmed in the Amazon rainforest, but he didn't expect it to be filmed in Indonesia.

"That's right, Indonesia. One of my friends is the photographer of the film's director Luis Rosa." Franlo smiled.

"I always thought I was still in Amazon." Yang Tianlong looked embarrassed.

"I don't remember the immortal grass you mentioned very clearly, because there were many primitive tribes in the Amazon rainforest at that time, and we couldn't understand what they said at all, so we rarely dealt with them, but Ace, the queen camera Master, I remember that he went into the rainforest to shoot that film and stayed there for several months." Franlo said with a smile.

Seeing that Mr. Franlo was not sure if there was such a legend or story, Yang Tianlong stopped asking. After eating with him, seeing that there were still more than 20 minutes left, the two headed towards the door of the meeting room. Walked over unhurriedly.

"Mr. Mills, why did you choose Bangzi Country and Island Country for the two East Asian cities?" As soon as they walked to the corner of the conference room corridor, Yang Tianlong and the others heard someone talking.

Looking at the sound, it turned out that in the corner of the conference room corridor, Baker, a British native with a big nose, seemed dissatisfied with Mills' speech, "Didn't we all agree in advance? Tokyo and Shanghai?"

The proud Mills glanced at Baker, and then said calmly, "Mr. Baker, we are a consortium. This consortium does not only have two shareholders, you and me, but there are several shareholders from our super-developed international I am only an intermediary liaison and cannot represent the opinions of other shareholders. Later, when I consulted other shareholders, they all agreed to choose Seoul and Tokyo.”

"Then why didn't you tell me?" Baker became a little angry.

"This was my mistake, sorry." Mills said calmly.

Baker snorted coldly, "Mr. Mills, you are extremely disrespectful of the investment capital of our Ying people. Sorry, I don't want to cooperate with you for the time being at the next shareholders' meeting."

At this moment, another short and fat white man came over. This guy had been listening to the conversation between Mills and Baker just now. Seeing that Baker was a little angry, he couldn't help but hurried forward.

"Mr. Baker, don't be angry. You know the peeing nature of Chinese people. They are like flies. If we really open more doors to them in Addis Ababa, their ability to steal Very strong, lower profits and thinner costs are the results you and I definitely don't want to see, in that case, I can guarantee that your interests and mine will all be lost."

Unexpectedly, Baker shook his head, and didn't listen to this guy's words at all, "Mr. Carter, it is undeniable that the rise of the Chinese people has a great impact on us, but as a person who dares to fight hard, I feel that in the torrent Bravery is the best choice, sticking to the rules is just a coward's performance."

After finishing speaking, Baker swung away angrily, leaving behind Mills and Carter looking at each other.
