Super Invincible Battleship
Chapter 960

Chapter 960: Chapter 388: The Mystery of Income Chapter 960: Chapter 388: The Mystery of Income After more than a year of urgent construction, the first international airport on Dream Island was finally completed just before the Spring Festival, including the calibration of various terminal equipment. With just a command from Yan Fei, this new airport, dubbed “Dream Airport”, could immediately begin operations.

To accelerate the travel speed between Dream Island and major cities around the world, even before “Dream Airport” was constructed, Yan Fei had already established an independent Dream Airlines, with an initial investment of 8 billion US Dollars, which was 100% privately owned by Yan Fei.

Without relying on the mini-production workshop for drones, Dream Island lacked the production capacity for commercial large airplanes, and there were a plethora of certification issues, such as airworthiness certificates, standing in the way. Therefore, Dream Island still had to purchase commercial airplanes from the world's aircraft manufacturers. As, at that time, The United States of America had banned the sale of all products from Dream Island, leading to a chilly relationship between the two, Dream Island's large airplane procurement plan did not consider Boeing Company but instead chose Airbus Company from Europe.

On this occasion, Dream Island purchased a total of 45 A320 series aircraft and 5 A350XWB series aircraft, with the total value reaching as much as 6 billion US Dollars.

Purchasing commercial large airplanes from other manufacturers was just a temporary measure. After the Spring Festival, Dream Island would closely collaborate with China Commercial Aircraft Company. Dream Island would provide key components like large airplane engines, radar systems, flight control systems, power supply systems, landing gears, fuel control systems, auxiliary power systems, safety systems, and flight recorders to help China complete the development of the commercial large airplanes C919 and C929 wide-body aircraft in the shortest time, thus enabling the production of commercial large airplanes in the shortest time.

By that time, not only Air China would buy all its commercial large airplanes domestically, but Dream Island would also give up Airbus's large airplanes in favor of China's. Without the support of the Chinese market, whether it's Airbus in Europe or Boeing in The United States of America, their products would find it very difficult to enter Chinese airspace, thus beginning their irreversible decline.

For the time being, Dream Island could only execute its flight missions with large airplanes manufactured by other companies. After just purchasing 50 Airbus large airplanes, the recruitment and training of pilots, flight attendants, and other crew members has officially commenced.

Meanwhile, for safety considerations, the Artificial Intelligence “Dream” invaded Airbus's flight system, and transmitted it back to the Dream Island Laboratory. Yang Qi optimized and improved this flight system, and on its basis, rewrote a set of flight control software unique to Dream Island. This software could not only perfectly control the flight of Airbus's airplanes but also ensured that these airplanes were not affected by external commands, securing Dream Island's absolute control over its own airplanes.

The first batch of 20 Airbus large airplanes will be officially delivered to Dream Island after the Spring Festival. Once these 20 airplanes are delivered, “Dream” would immediately install its own flight control software on them. And because Dream Airlines hadn't taken delivery of its airplanes yet, the airport had not started operating immediately, as Yan Fei didn't want the airport's first takeoff and landing to be owned by another airline.

Those executing flight missions at Dream Airport were not only Dream Airlines' airplanes but also those of other well-known national airlines, including companies from China, Japan, Australia, Canada, and other countries, all of which had applied for flight routes to Dream Island. Their applications had also been approved by Dream Island. They would be able to inaugurate their routes once Dream Airport officially opened. As one of the conditions for negotiation, Dream Airlines' airplanes were also allowed to carry out commercial operations in these countries.

Because The United States of America had been in a Cold War state with Dream Island, American airlines had not qualified to operate flights in Dream Island. Likewise, Dream Airlines could not fly in The United States of America. However, Dream Airlines was small in scale, planning to buy only 50 airplanes and still at the very initial stage of market development, so losing the large US market was not a big deal.

But as relations between Dream Island and The United States of America began to improve, the application for flight routes from American airlines was immediately sent here. Considering that Dream Airlines lacked the ability to venture into the US market and Yan Fei didn't want Americans to take advantage of him, he decided to drag his feet and has not yet agreed to their operation application.

As time went on, everyone began to notice Dream Island's huge potential for development. Even though Yan Fei had not disclosed Dream Island's earnings for the previous year, through analysis by professional analysts, they had a pretty accurate guess at Dream Island's revenue situation. However, because they were unaware of the actual costs of Dream Island's products and services, their estimates of Dream Island's net profits were far off the mark, only a third of the real data.

Even so, the earnings that Dream Island had made in the past year had stunned all financial experts, who began to attribute the title of the world's richest man to Yan Fei. And in their view, Yan Fei truly deserved the title of the world's richest man, easily outdistancing the world's second-richest person by several leagues.
