Although "take the Concorde ticket price, it is about 20% higher than the first-class ticket price of ordinary airliners. For example, flying from London to New York is less than $1000, which is a little cheaper!"
John King listened to the music. "Sir Gao, you are now a customer of Concorde. For the first time, customers think they spend less."
Gao Xian said leisurely, "customers are willing to spend more money, naturally in order to get better service. For example, when I rent a Concorde and fly to South America via New York, I plan to hold an air reception, but British Airways' service seems to be unable to meet my needs."
John King was stunned and began to think deeply. He murmured to himself, "now Concorde seems to be only trying to grab the passenger source of ordinary flights. It's really a little laborious and thankless."
……
Concorde was fast. It cruised at supersonic speed over the Atlantic Ocean. It took half the travel time of ordinary airliners, that is, more than three hours, and then arrived in New York from London.
During the suspension, Roger Myerson, little Bush, Neil Bush and others boarded the plane one after another at the invitation of Gao Xian.
Then the chartered plane took off again and went to the first destination of the trip, Santiago, the capital of Chile, the largest city in Chile with a population of less than 4 million.
Gao Xian brings some "irrelevant" people, which reflects his relaxed state of mind. While doing business, he does not delay traveling.
In fact, "irrelevant" is not really irrelevant.
Latin America is the back garden of the United States. With the exception of Cuba, many countries sell well to the United States. Especially among the dignitaries of the government, many have a deep American university education background.
Roger Myerson can get in touch with some contacts that can not be ignored and recognize the Chicago School of economics, that is, the famous "Chicago boy"; As for the younger Bush brothers, not to mention that their father is American Vice President Bush Sr.
Interestingly, when the plane was about to take off again, John King came back and said to Gao Xian, "Sir Gao, your words have inspired me a lot. I don't know if it's convenient to continue traveling for a while for in-depth discussion."
As a special envoy to Mrs. Thatcher, it was not a top secret, so Gao Xian smiled and said, "Sir Kim, your schedule is convenient. I'm a warm welcome."
John King glanced at everyone in the cabin and flattered, "Sir Gao, there are many friends here. I can't wait to make friends. There's no inconvenient schedule."
After all, John King is the chairman of the board of directors of British Airways. He has enough cards. He joined in temporarily. Naturally, others have no opinion.
……
After the Concorde plane left the United States, it was not restricted by environmental protection. Even if it was located over the land, it could enter the supersonic cruise state of Mach 2. The air reception also began. While connecting feelings and consolidating contacts, John King had the opportunity to closely observe the needs of such types of high-end customers.
The young Neil Bush joked: "Concorde has also begun to fly immobile on routes in Latin America. The market demand is really changeable and unpredictable."
"David, you can buy one and put it in the museum before the Concorde is grounded."
Gao Xian was amused. "The future of Concorde is not so pessimistic. Sir Kim attaches great importance to this flagship business."
On such private occasions, John King was very open and joked without any concern: "I can understand that the Americans themselves have no supersonic airliner and feel sour. Now they naturally gloat when they see the difficulties in the operation of Concorde."
The other people laughed quietly. Originally, Concorde took a lot of effort to open routes to the United States. On the surface, because supersonic airliners have environmental pollution such as sonic booms, it is really a dispute of interests.
Roger Myerson said: "Concorde continues to operate in the current way, and it is estimated that there is only the end of grounding, because according to Sir Gao's analysis, under the background of the global economic recession, Latin American economies are likely to have another form of greater crisis, which will lead to the seating rate of Concorde's routes in the region, which can not reach the most basic level."
Gao Xian humbly waved his hand, "my analysis is just the words of one family. I still need to make a practical investigation in various Latin American economies to obtain more specific information."
……
Sir Gao took the "sonic boom" all the way to Santiago, the capital of Chile. It goes without saying the degree of wind.
After arriving at the hotel, Gao Xian said to the people, "you play first. After George and I deal with things, we'll come and meet."
With the cooperation of the British Embassy in Chile, Gao Xian soon met Pinochet, the current ruler of Chile, and began to carry out his special envoy mission.
At this stage, the dictators of Chile and Argentina have a similar way of survival. They both obtain support and maintain their rule by brutally suppressing domestic forces inclined to the eastern camp of the cold war and submitting names to the United States.
The United States also behaved like a model. Taking the Falklands war as an example, the United States said that it strictly abides by neutrality, and neither Britain nor Argentina will help, but what the actual situation is, as long as it is not an idiot, it knows what's going on.
Therefore, Gao Xian took little Bush, the son of the vice president of the United States, as his companion. Pinochet really didn't have the right means to play in the meeting. Sir Gao didn't have the patience to waste time in every corner of the world. If you want to see him right away, whether you succeed or not, give him a painful and quick word in person.
After the exchange of greetings, Gao Xian went straight to the theme and said, "Madam President, I am privately entrusted by British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher to understand Chile's attitude, that is, whether I can support British military action."
"Your Excellency, if you don't want to, it's harmless. Anyway, this is a private contact, which will not affect the existing diplomatic and legitimate relations between Chile and Britain; but if you are willing to make people beautiful, Mrs. Thatcher will be very grateful, and the diplomatic and legitimate relations between Chile and Britain will rise to a new level. For example, support Chile in the territorial dispute between Chile and Argentina 。”
At this point, the high string accentuates the airway: "I think it's not hard to guess what effect Argentina's current government wants to achieve in exercising military control over the Falkland Islands. If your Excellency the president can completely win the islands in dispute with Argentina in a more ingenious and effective way, it will undoubtedly be better than Argentine President gutieri, who only knows how to use brute force, and will naturally be more conducive to your ruling reputation."
Pinochet's eyes turned around on Gao Xian and little Bush's face. He skillfully played Taijiquan and laughed, "Sir Gao is really happy."
"In the shopping mall, time is money. Similarly, it is urgent for the Royal Navy to arrive at the battle site." Gao Xian shrugged, "so I venture to ask your Excellency the president to give an answer as soon as possible."
Pinochet pondered: "although a war almost broke out between Chile and Argentina a few years ago, now Latin American countries are supporting Argentina. If Chile explicitly supports Britain, it may end up betraying its relatives."
"Your Excellency, the president is too worried." Sir Gao, who tasted Pinochet's meaning, leaned in Pinochet's direction. "If your excellency is not willing to explicitly support Britain, you can change a way to not support Argentina."
Pinochet said, "what's the difference between the two?"
Gao Xian explained: "Chile can secretly provide some convenience for the Royal Navy. For example, it can monitor the movements of the Argentine air force through the radar station on the border between Chile and Argentina and inform the British side; it can even make some military movements on the border between Chile and Argentina to make Argentina jittery."
Pinochet, after listening to Gao Xian's suggestion, did not immediately state his position. It was obvious that he was weighing the pros and cons quickly.
Seeing Pinochet was a little unhappy, sir Gao turned around and said, "Your Excellency, the present opportunity to send people to Britain fell from the sky and was given in vain. If you miss it, you will never meet it again."
"In other words, it is inevitable for Britain to defeat speculative Argentina. Only from the international situation can we see that the European economic community has begun to impose trade sanctions on Argentina." Gao Xian asked little Bush, "George, I heard that the attitude of the White House is to remain neutral?"
Little Bush replied with no formality: "David, please don't test my IQ with such an idiot question."
Suddenly, everyone on the scene, including the interpreter, smiled tacitly.
Gao Xian slowly closed his smile, looked at Pinochet and said seriously, "there is no suspense about Britain's victory, but it depends on what price to pay. If your Excellency the president is willing to provide convenience, it will save Britain some effort. Such a valuable opportunity to send people, but a little indulgence will die!"
Pinochet said convincingly, "no wonder Sir Gao has made extraordinary achievements at a young age. This analysis of the current situation suddenly brightens my eyes. OK, I agree with Sir Gao's suggestion!"
"Well, there's no need to borrow the positive governance energy of the Chicago boy faction." Gao Xian, who was secretly relieved, said with a loud laugh: "thank you, your excellency, for allowing me to bring Mrs. Thatcher exciting news. I think that, in addition to the improvement of the relationship between Chile and Britain, Mr. President will also win Mrs. Thatcher's friendship."
Pinochet smiled very kindly, "I also want to make friends with such a powerful friend as Sir Gao."
