Outside the training room, Yi Feng was holding on to the railing with a little impatience on his face. Beside him, Deng Wenjia was complaining endlessly: "Boss Yi, how could you tear up the contract in public?"
"Didn't I just say it, in order to keep Xu Cang here?" Yi Feng turned around, put his back against the railing, and wrapped his arms around: "Why are you in such a hurry, I'm fine."
Deng Wenjia is really in a hurry: "If you want to keep Xu Cang here, what's the use of tearing up the contract? It's illegal to tear up the contract. Besides, there are two copies of the contract, and Blue Sky Airlines has another copy. You can't go to Blue Sky Airlines. Did you tear up the other contract too?"
It can be seen that although Yi Feng's level is much higher than Deng Wenjia's, there is no obvious level difference between the two when they talk, and it is estimated that the two know each other in private.
What Deng Wenjia said is indeed reasonable, not to mention whether tearing up the contract is useful or not.Their contract with Blue Sky Airlines on the secondment of Xu Cang was originally in duplicate. The two airlines each kept one copy, but Blue Sky Airlines still had one.
"If you think it's necessary, I can also go to Blue Sky Airlines." Yi Feng said with a smile: "Don't forget, our national airline is also one of the shareholders of Blue Sky Airlines."
Deng Wenjia directly punctured the loophole in Yi Feng's words: "You can pull it down! National Airline's shareholding in Blue Sky Airlines is not ranked high at all, and you have no right to speak in Blue Sky Airlines. At the beginning, you were the bureau to prevent The pure private capital composition of Blue Sky Airlines was introduced on purpose, and it only has a symbolic meaning, do you think I don’t know?”
Blue Sky Airlines is one of the first airlines in China to have private capital participation, but the bureau allows private capital to participate, but does not allow an airline to be controlled by private capital alone.
Therefore, the largest shareholder of Blue Sky Airlines is not the private capital side of the investment, but the local provincial government.However, the provincial government is not a civil aviation professional after all. If the private capital people of Blue Sky Airlines start to do something small, even the provincial government may not be able to find out.Therefore, a knowledgeable third-party force must be arranged to supervise. This third-party force does not need to be very strong, it only needs to have a reason to help the provincial government review the internal situation of the company at a certain time.
And it was NUS Airlines that was selected by the bureau.National Airlines will basically not participate in the operation of Blue Sky, and of course they are not eligible.It's just that since the establishment of Blue Sky Airlines, its operations have been considered normal, and National Airline has not shown its face again, so that many senior executives of Blue Sky Airlines have forgotten that they still have shares in National University Airlines.
National Airlines wants to rely on this symbolic shareholding to force Blue Sky Airlines to hand over the contract, which is simply a dream.
"Hahahaha, you still remember. You were careful when you were still in National University, and I didn't expect to remember this." Yi Feng smiled, but he was not annoyed, but said casually: "Then I won't go to Blue Sky Airlines. chant."
Deng Wenjia held his forehead, he really didn't understand his once good friend.After calming down a little, Deng Wenjia asked, "Just now you said that Xu Cang affected Boeing's production capacity quota. What does that mean?"
"Of course it means literally." Speaking of this, Yi Feng restrained his playful expression, and glanced towards the training room: "Wen Jia, you tricked Xu Cang here is really beautiful, I didn't even expect it .”
Deng Wenjia rolled his eyes: "What is cheating?"
"Okay, whatever you call it!" Yi Feng smiled lightly: "Some time ago, we, Muhua and Tiandong proposed a big order to Boeing, but Boeing could only squeeze out the production capacity of [-] aircraft to give Us. Originally, because we and Tiandong had relatively more orders with Boeing before, in terms of production capacity allocation, we had a lot more orders than Tiandong, and Muhua's side naturally had a lot less. However, not long ago, Boeing's final The distribution plan was changed to an equal share among the three companies. Although I don't know what kind of deal this Xu Cang has with Boeing, I can be sure that this Xu Cang is really not simple."
"Xu Cang can influence Boeing's decision-making, how is this possible?" Deng Wenjia recalled the scene when he first met Xu Cang in his mind. At that time, he wanted Xu Cang to come here out of pure admiration for Xu Cang.
Originally, he thought that Xu Cang was just a pure, talented young second co-pilot.He still thinks so until today, but in Yi Feng's mouth, Xu Cang's energy can even influence Boeing's decision-making, which is really unimaginable.
Although in recent years, due to the rise of Airbus, Boeing's attitude has become slightly better.But if it is classified as easy to talk about, it is undoubtedly whimsical.
However, Deng Wenjia quickly thought of one thing, and immediately cursed: "I don't care why Xu Cang can influence Boeing, but since you know he has such great energy, why do you still force him? Not to mention whether you can If you force him to stay, even if you can stay, he will be unwilling, what's the use of being unwilling! Or are you just because Xu Cang reduced the production quota that originally belonged to National University Airlines, so you deliberately disgusted him?"
When it came to the last sentence, Yi Feng's expression became visibly unhappy: "Deng Wenjia, you used to be a member of National University Airlines, you should understand that since the predecessor of National University of China, the Civil Aviation Hanjing Administration Flight Corps 45 years ago, We have never been a pure airline. We are the only domestic airline company that can carry the national flag. This is our honor as the number one airline. Since we are the number one airline, we must have the courage to be the number one airline. As I said just now , Xu Cang can influence Boeing's decision-making, that is his ability, we will not blame him for this. Do you think I am Ma Cheng of Muhua, and I have nothing else in my mind except interests? As a state-owned enterprise, I have no Awakening, chasing profit like a capitalist is really shameful."
As the director of the strategy department of the three major airlines, he is in charge of grasping the future development direction of the entire airline company.Ke Yifeng looks down on Ma Cheng very much, thinking that Ma Cheng is full of the face of a capitalist.State-owned enterprises have to shoulder certain social responsibilities, but Ma Cheng is always thinking about how to make money by whatever means, which is really contrary to the original intention of the country to establish Muhua Airlines with the civil aviation resources in the whole south.
"Really?" Deng Wenjia was dubious: "Then tell me why you insisted on keeping Xu Cang, even if it made him feel unhappy?"
Yi Feng frowned, looked around, and confirmed that there was no one around, then lowered his voice and said: "Mr. Chen has been looking for me recently. He said that the country has agreed to carry out the development of large domestic aircraft, and he will be transferred to Shanghai later. On. When he talked with me, he mentioned Xu Cang, saying that he and Xu Cang had agreed before that Xu Cang would be the first batch of test pilots when the prototype of the domestically produced large aircraft came out. I will find out later After looking at Xu Cang's information, I feel that Mr. Chen still underestimated him, and Xu Cang should be the chief pilot of domestic large aircraft."
There have been rumors of domestically produced large aircraft many years ago, and Chen Laochen Jinwu has been running.If the country agreed to this project, then it must be logical for Mr. Chen to find Yi Feng in the past.
After all, Guoda Airlines is the largest airline company in China. If domestically produced large aircrafts are launched, Guoda Airlines may be an extremely important buyer in the future.Therefore, Deng Wenjia did not doubt what Yi Feng said about meeting Mr. Chen, but he had some doubts about Xu Cang in the second half.
Deng Wenjia admitted that Xu Cang was very good, but with so many excellent pilots in the country, Yi Feng directly appointed a second officer as the chief pilot of the future domestic large aircraft, which seemed too dreamy from any angle.
"You think I'm talking nonsense?" Yi Feng laughed.
Deng Wenjia didn't laugh, but said very seriously: "I think you're crazy."
"Am I crazy? That's because you haven't really understood that Xu Cang! Not long ago, he landed at the Yulong Airport in the southwest, and I will send you the video file of the plane's landing. You will know what peak skill is." Yi Feng let out a long breath: "In terms of technology alone, although I don't understand why, Xu Cang has already reached the peak. If he can't be the chief pilot of a large domestic aircraft, then no one can do it .”
Deng Wenjia looked at the extremely solemn Yi Feng, and his heart seemed to be full of turmoil.Yi Feng is not a few years older than him, but he is already the top executive of the largest airline company in China. It is absolutely not too much to say that he is a dragon and a phoenix.
It is said that geniuses are relatively light, but Yi Feng's vision is not ordinary.How terrifying is Xu Cang that can convince Yi Feng so much?However, Deng Wenjia still didn't understand one thing: "Since you say Xu Cang is so important, why do you still have to fight against him?"
"It doesn't matter to me to fight against him, because I never want to seek any benefits from him for myself or National Airlines, and he has the weight of the future of domestic civil aviation on his shoulders." Yi Feng whispered: "Now he is still young, I still don’t know what is a world of flamboyance and intrigues. The civil aviation circle is so big, and you know what kind of smog Air Blue is. In fact, it is not Blue Sky. You don’t have to be modest. Now the domestic company’s environment is good. After all, the rising sun is full of vitality. The environment will change people. You can guarantee that Xu Cang will not forget his original intention after staying in Blue Sky Aviation. I don’t care what happens to him in the future. During the year, he must live in a relatively clear environment. I hope he can maintain his innocence. It’s really a coincidence. I came up with this idea after meeting Mr. Chen. I didn’t expect you to help me directly. I got things done."
"Aren't you afraid that he will hate you?" Deng Wenjia asked back.
"It doesn't matter if he hates me. There are many people who hate me, and there is not much more than him. It's okay to hate me. Someone has to be the villain, as long as he hates you."
"Then what is the 777 test at Aden Airport?" Deng Wenjia asked.
"It's okay to tell you, anyway, you will know in a few months." Yi Feng is not secretive: "Our National Airlines has an order for 777, so we know about it earlier and the content is more detailed. Two In a month or so, at most three months, Boeing will organize a 777 engine limit test in Aden, Daocheng, and that Xu Cang just now will be one of the test crews."
Deng Wenjia couldn't believe it: "What did you say? He went to test the 777, will he drive the 777?"
"Deng Wenjia, it looks like you really don't know him at all. Can he drive a 777? It's as ridiculous as he can drive a 747 and a 320." Yi Feng smiled jokingly: "Use your most exaggerated Construct the image of a genius pilot with your own imagination, and that is Xu Cang!"
"You" Deng Wenjia was stunned for half a minute, Yi Feng's words had already revealed too much.At this moment, he is extremely eager to see the landing of Yulong Airport, which Yi Feng said just now represents the pinnacle of flying skills.
After waiting for a long time, Deng Wenjia temporarily calmed down, but he realized another problem: "That's the original problem. You tore up the contract just now. It's actually useless. If he wants to go back, he can still go back."
Yi Feng straightened his upper body slightly and left the railing: "The contract is just a trivial thing. He was seconded from Blue Sky Airlines to Shandong Airlines in the name of internal transfer of National Airline. If he comes over, we can sign at Air China, but if he wants to go back, we don’t have to sign.”
Deng Wenjia was stunned by Yi Feng's words, and after a long time, Deng Wenjia said worriedly: "Will this be too nasty?"
"Damn it, why did it go down? Did I let him go to the mountain of swords, or did he go into the sea of fire?" Yi Feng brushed off his clothes, and suddenly, the cell phone in his pocket came to mind.
I took it out and saw that the number belonged to my secretary.Yi Feng did not avoid suspicion, and directly answered the phone in front of Deng Wenjia: "Hello, what's the matter?"
Naturally, Deng Wenjia was not interested in eavesdropping on Yi Feng's phone call, but soon, he found that Yi Feng, who had a normal expression, gradually became gloomy, until finally he hung up the phone, and Yi Feng's face was visible to the naked eye. angry.
"What's wrong?" Deng Wenjia asked casually.
Yi Feng rubbed his white teeth, and put the phone back into his pocket. He lowered his eyelids and looked at Deng Wenjia, paused, and finally said: "Boeing just informed us that the price of future aircraft will be reduced!"
"Price reduction?" Deng Wenjia didn't understand the joints consciously. If the price of the Boeing plane is to be reduced, shouldn't Yi Feng be happy, why does he look quite unhappy.
"Sure enough, it started again." Yi Feng licked his dry lips: "I'm leaving, I have to go back to the headquarters."
"Oh." Before Deng Wenjia even had time to say goodbye, Yi Feng hurriedly ran to the elevator.
At this time, in the training classroom, the secondment contract torn up by Yi Feng was still scattered on the ground, while the crowd in front of the onlookers had already dispersed, leaving only the distraught Xian Tong and two people, a man and a woman, who were by his side. ground instructor.
Xu Cang had already walked to the corner of the classroom and called Lu Jinghua.
"Brother Lu, do you know the director of the Strategy Department of NUS Aviation?" Xu Cang asked hurriedly.
Lu Jinghua on the other end of the phone said unhappily: "I'm the department head of a small company. Guoda Airlines is the number one in China, and the head of the strategy department already belongs to the decision-making level. I don't know how many levels behind him. Where am I? Recognize? No, aren’t you at Shandong Airlines, why did you ask about the director of the strategy department of National University Aviation?”
"I want to know the fuck too." Xu Cang himself was speechless, so he told a series of things that happened when Yi Feng came in just now, and finally asked worriedly: "He tore up my contract, saying it was for the I stay at Shandong Airlines, is that true?"
After waiting for a while, Lu Jinghua said: "If we only talk about the contract, our flight department still has one, so it doesn't really matter if he tore up the Shandong Airlines contract."
"It turned out to be fooling people." Xu Cang relaxed, and Yi Feng's swearing appearance just now really scared Xu Cang: "It doesn't matter if it doesn't matter, then it's fine, okay, don't talk, hang up Already!"
"Wait!" Just as Xu Cang was about to hang up, Lu Jinghua stopped him suddenly: "Don't hang up yet."
Xu Cang hummed: "What's wrong?"
"I thought about it for a while. We do still have a contract. But when your secondment period is over, if you want to transfer your working relationship back to Blue Sky Airlines, you still need National Airlines to sign it. What if...they don't sign it?"
"I..." Xu Cang was stunned, and almost yelled: "That, that, let's do this first, I'll think of a way first."
After speaking, Xu Cang hung up the phone directly.
After hanging up the phone, Xu Cang's first thought was to get the bureau involved.However, the bureau would not interfere with this kind of personnel transfer within the company, and he didn't want to make it difficult for Di Qingquan or his master Chen Xiangdong.
Just when Xu Cang was restless, he suddenly caught a glimpse of Xiantong on the stage looking towards him.
"Xu Cang, do you really want to take part in the test flight of 777?" Xiantong sat on the edge of the table, not caring whether the ground was dirty or not, but asked Xu Cang a little absent-mindedly.
Xu Cang did not deny it, but nodded: "It should be."
"So that's how it is!" Xiantong sighed, looking extremely tired: "Okay! Xu Cang, I admit defeat this time, and I will sign it for you. And, as I said before, as long as I can do it Yes, I can help you with something."
Xu Cang hurriedly shook his head like a rattle: "No, no!"
Xu Cang dared to bother him because he was old and frail. If something happened in the middle, it would be too late for him to regret it.
Xu Cang was only worried about Xiantong's body at first, but Xiantong snorted, his eyes staring like copper bells: "Do you think this old man is old and useless?"
Xu Cang just wanted to deny it, but suddenly, an idea popped into his mind, and he asked tentatively: "Teacher, if I invite you to teach the theory of machine models in another company in the future, is it okay?"
"Huh?" Xiantong was startled, and said immediately: "If I want to leave, National University Airlines will not make it difficult. It's just where do you want me to go, this way?"
"No, no!" Xu Cang smiled and said, "That airline company doesn't exist yet, but there will be one in the future. Teacher Xian just needs to remember the promise he made to me."
Xiantong squinted his eyes, took a deep look at Xu Cang, and suddenly laughed loudly: "Okay! But you have to hurry up, I am so weak, who knows when I will die, then I have to bear a promise of dishonesty." reputation."
At this moment, the female teacher came slowly, holding the teaching diary in her hand and handing it to Xu Cang: "We have already signed it, you can go back, the teacher is tired today."
"Yeah!" Xu Cang gratefully took over the teaching log: "Then I'll go first."
Xiantong waved his hand weakly: "Go, I hope we can meet again in the future."
Xu Cang saluted Xian Tong, and then left first.Holding the teaching log, Xu Cang went directly to Feibiao's office and handed it over to the Feibiao female employee just now.
The female employee looked at the signatures of the three teachers on the teaching log, and then recalled the scene where Xu Cang asked Xiantong back, and suddenly felt a little lost.
"Hello, is there any problem with this?" Xu Cang called softly.
The female employee blushed a bit: "No, no, no problem. By the way, we haven't finished the test papers yet, and we will notify you as soon as possible, okay?"
"Oh, that's it, that's fine, it's troublesome." When the test papers didn't come out, Xu Cang could only wait.
After everything was settled, Xu Cang left the base building of Shandong Airlines with a little restlessness.It's just that as soon as he left the gate of the base, he bumped into a slightly stooped figure head-on.
The man was stunned when he saw Xu Cang coming out, and then a smile appeared on his withered face: "Little friend, what a coincidence."
Xu Cang bent down slightly: "Old Chen Chen?"
The visitor turned out to be Chen Jinwu who had met once before.
At this time, Ma Cheng's hearty laughter was echoing on the rooftop of Muhua Aviation's base.
"Old Liu, do you know? Boeing informed us just now that the price of the whole machine will drop by 5.00% from now on, and the price of subsequent maintenance and aviation materials will also drop accordingly, up to [-]%, hahahaha." Ma Cheng praised Sipping coffee, his face was covered with a smile: "So, this is Tianyou Muhua. The civil aviation market will be opened soon, and more aircraft will definitely be purchased in the future. With this calculation, we can save a lot of money in the future. .”
Take a 737-800 with normal configuration as an example, the price of the whole machine is about 2000 million yuan, and the cost of just one aircraft can be almost [-] million less than before, not counting the follow-up maintenance and the purchase of aviation materials.
Liu Minxue, who was next to Ma Cheng, didn't look so happy, but said lightly: "I heard that the country has agreed to establish a research and development base for domestically produced large aircraft in Shanghai. Our company seems to have invested a lot of money."
"It's just right!" Ma Chengzhi said proudly, "At first I had no interest in that large domestic aircraft. That thing is simply a bottomless pit. Because we are a state-owned enterprise, we are forced to invest money in it. Aren't Boeing and Airbus ready-made?" Is it a good aircraft, what can I spend a lot of money to develop?"
Liu Minxue glanced at Ma Cheng: "What if Airbus and Boeing team up to block us in the future?"
"I said, Lao Liu, you have been a management person anyway, what nonsense are you talking about? Now it is global free trade, how can you get stuck with us." Ma Cheng didn't care at all: "Boeing just dropped its price now, that Let’s forget about the domestically produced large aircraft. Just invest a little money, and it’s enough to send it off.”
"But I heard that National University Airlines invested a lot of money this time." Liu Minxue said suddenly.
Ma Cheng curled his lips: "That's why they are the least profitable among the three major airlines. Just like their routes spread everywhere, if there is anything good to fly in the northwest, they will lose money."
"But have you ever thought about why China National Airlines flies those routes? Doesn't their marketing department know how to analyze the revenue forecast? Doesn't they know that those Northwest routes will lose money?" Liu Minxue sighed faintly. He asked a question that hit the soul directly: "Or do you think our three major airlines are purely airlines, and everything is based on profit?"
These words directly hit Ma Cheng's heart. One second he was still smiling, but the next second he cooled down instantly.The two were relatively silent for a long time, and finally Ma Cheng drank the remaining coffee, threw the paper cup into the trash can next to him, and left without saying a word.
"I do not know what you're talking about."
Xu Cang and Chen Jinwu sat together on the stone bench in the small garden of the Shandong Airlines base.Wanting to meet Chen Jinwu for the first time at Blue Sky Airlines, it has only been a few months now, but how does Xu Cang feel that it has been so long?
"I heard that little friend has done something big recently?" Chen Jinwu said with a smile.
Xu Cang scratched his head embarrassingly: "Where, it's just a matter of little effort."
"With a little effort, the great event of saving millions of lives is also a matter of little effort?" Chen Jinwu praised: "This man, there is no need to cover up the merits he has done."
"Really?" In front of Chen Jinwu, Xu Cang still looked a little cautious, like a nervous elementary school student: "But, Mr. Chen, why are you here?"
"Me!" Chen Jinwu patted Xu Cang's shoulder suddenly: "Do you still remember that you told me to ask me to take the initiative to apply for a transfer to Shangfei? Later, I followed your suggestion and applied. Unexpectedly, a few days ago The country agreed to the development of the large aircraft, and it was led by Shangfei. I have caught up with it. I will be stationed in Shanghai later. I just received an appointment from Hanjing. I heard that you are here. It just so happened that a kid was coming over too, so I stopped by. Say goodbye and thank you, and I’m going to Shanghai later.”
"So that's how it is." Xu Cang asked cautiously, "Old Chen, does our large aircraft development project have a name?"
"Huh?" Chen Jinwu didn't expect Xu Cang to ask directly.
Seeing Chen Jinwu's expression, Xu Cang thought he had touched a secret, and hurriedly said, "I'm just asking casually, if it's inconvenient, you don't have to say it."
"It's not inconvenient, but there's really nothing to say." Chen Jinwu sighed: "You also know that our domestically produced large aircraft is basically starting from scratch. Now there are only some framework things. Even the name of the aircraft does not matter." It's not decided yet."
Xu Cang nodded, this is in line with the history of C919 he remembered.In the absence of my own intervention, whether it is the C919 or the development unit COMAC will have to wait a few years before it will appear.This also means that when Mr. Chen goes to Shanghai this time, he will have to save up for several years!
The road to the development of domestic large aircraft is really bumpy.If I remember correctly, Mr. Chen should be going to the Shanghai Aircraft Design Institute, and this unit will become the backbone of COMAC from now on.
It's just that Xu Cang doesn't quite understand that if the development of domestically produced large aircraft starts now, even if the domestic experience in large aircraft is completely blank, it won't mean that there will be no accumulation for several years.
Because according to historical development, the C919 project was approved eight years later. Why did C919 only complete the project eight years later? Mr. Chen was called to Shanghai this time, and it took eight years of hard work to complete a project. This is obviously unreasonable. ah?
Could it be that something happened during these eight years that interrupted the development of large aircraft?
"Little friend, do you remember our previous agreement?" Chen Jinwu asked suddenly.
Xu Cangguang was thinking about other things, and he lost his mind for a while, but Chen Jinwu yelled again before he came back to his senses, and immediately said: "Of course I remember."
Chen Jinwu nodded with a smile: "At that time, I went to the Southwest to do ARJ21. I just wanted to pick up the Third Hospital with my little friend. I didn't expect to meet such a young hero. I still said what I said before, everything is voluntary, don't have any burden."
From Chen Jinwu's cloudy but resolute eyes, Xu Cang saw sincerity. The words just now were not hypocritical, but Chen Jinwu sincerely hoped that Xu Cang would follow his inner thoughts.
Xu Cang nodded heavily.Seeing this, Chen Jinwu laughed heartily: "That's right! A child of your age should enjoy life. If you are made to bear the pressure of your family and country unwillingly, it means that we old people are incompetent." .”
Seeing how happy Chen Jinwu was, Xu Cang also laughed.
Suddenly, Chen Jinwu's cell phone rang, and he picked it up to answer it.However, due to the strong wind, it was difficult to hear clearly.After thinking for a while, Chen Jinwu directly turned on the speakerphone, and then said to the phone: "Say it, now."
"Mr. Chen, I just received the news that several companies that originally intended to invest have withdrawn their capital, and the rest seem to have to cut their investment." An anxious voice came from a young man on the phone.
Chen Jinwu frowned: "Why is this happening, isn't it all agreed before?"
"It seems that Boeing has notified various domestic airline companies that they will lower the price of the complete aircraft, subsequent maintenance and aviation materials, and then"
Chen Jinwu's eyelids twitched, he was silent for a long time, and finally said: "Okay, I got it!"
After finishing speaking, Chen Jinwu hung up the phone directly.
Xu Cang's face gradually sank beside him. He finally understood why he started the development of domestically produced large aircraft in 2000, but the project was not actually approved until eight years later. It turned out that there were external factors that prevented it.
In fact, Xu Cang can also understand the thinking of those investors. It is better to buy than to build. This idea is the mainstream in this era.Self-developed large aircraft is a bottomless pit. If you are not careful, you may even lose your money. The value of investment is indeed not high in the market.But at this moment, Boeing has lowered the price, and the necessity of self-research has been greatly reduced. Those investors naturally feel that the future is hopeless, either withdrawing capital or reducing investment, which is a relatively normal capitalization operation.
However, to understand is one thing, and to be able to agree is another.
"Old Chen, if the funds are not enough, how about applying to the state?" Xu Cang asked carefully.
Chen Jinwu sighed and said: "You don't understand, the country has squeezed out a lot of funds for this. The country has a lot to do, we can't point everything at the country, she also has many difficulties."
The cost of self-developed large aircraft is astronomical. Even if Xu Cang wanted to help, he couldn't do anything, so he could only ask, "Mr. Chen, what should we do?"
"It's okay, I'm used to it!" Chen Jinwu smiled bitterly: "Isn't it the same with chips back then? As long as we want to develop chips by ourselves, the foreign people will start to cut prices. It's an old-fashioned method."
Xu Cang was silent, but Chen Jinwu actually didn't say a word.This method is indeed very old-fashioned, but it is very useful.Moreover, Xu Cang knew that domestic chips would have to suffer a lot because of this in the future. Could it be that domestically produced large aircraft will follow in the footsteps of chips?
In the glorious age, under the real historical tide, Xu Cang only felt an indescribable sense of sadness and powerlessness.
Suddenly, Chen Jinwu got up, and he squeezed out a smile and patted Xu Cang's shoulder: "Okay, let's stop here today. Maybe we will have a chance to meet again in the future."
After finishing speaking, Chen Jinwu didn't care what Xu Cang said, and left on his own, leaving Xu Cang with the figure that seemed even more hunched.
Xu Cang's chest heaved rapidly, and the fire of resentment almost filled his chest. He was in so much pain, but he had no way to vent it.
When he was reborn, he felt that he was the only chosen one. He wanted to change a lot. In fact, he did achieve some.But when it comes to things that affect historical changes, Xu Cang is so insignificant, the weight of history almost makes him breathless.
Suddenly, Xu Cang's cell phone rang.He let out a long breath, and glanced at the number displayed on the phone, it was Li Rongcheng's.
After thinking for a while, Xu Cang connected the phone.Li Rongcheng's voice soon came from the opposite side: "Xu Cang, is it convenient to meet now, I'm here in Qizhou."
"Okay!" Xu Cang said heavily: "It's just right, I want to see you too."
In an open-air coffee shop somewhere in the center of Qizhou, Li Rongcheng narrowed his eyes and looked at his brother Li Rongxian who came in a hurry.
Li Rongxian still had that cynical look. He sat down opposite Li Rongcheng, looked around, and asked curiously, "Why are you here? I have business, and I'm talking about an order with Shanhang?"
Li Rongcheng was not in a good mood: "Can you talk about the business directly."
"Brothers meet, there's no need to be so serious." Li Rongxian snapped his fingers, summoned the waiter, ordered a glass of American latte, and then asked with a chuckle, "Is there a friend of yours here?"
Li Rongcheng stared: "Li Rongxian, did you come here because you were so bored that you arranged for me?"
"Forget it!" Seeing that Li Rongcheng was going to get angry, Li Rongxian restrained his smile and shrugged: "If you want to talk about business, let's talk about business! Just now, I heard that your Boeing is going to cut prices?"
But Li Rongcheng shouldn't, just sipping coffee like this.
However, Li Rongxian was not annoyed at all, and said to himself: "Although I thought your decision-makers at Boeing were as stupid as pigs before, the response this time is very fast. The price cut is right, and our Airbus will follow suit." , the range is the same as yours. This time I came here to let you know, so as not to cooperate badly and be taken advantage of by them."
Li Rongcheng poured down his glass slowly, and suddenly asked, "What's the time?"
The corner of Li Rongxian's mouth curled up a sneer: "That's naturally a delusion to think that you can develop your own big plane!"
"Oh." Li Rongcheng said casually.
However, Li Rongxian raised his eyebrows when he saw this, "You don't seem very interested."
Li Rongcheng snorted: "Annoying!"
"Hahaha!" Li Rongxian let out a burst of sharp laughter, just like the cry of the night owl in the wild: "I said Li Rongcheng, can you put away that ridiculous blood relationship."
He pointed to the surrounding customers, leaned his neck forward, stared at his brother, grinned and said, "You don't have any so-called compatriot feelings with these people, do you? You are different, you are not the same People in the world, people go to high places, why do you look all the way down?"
Li Rongcheng didn't want to debate these meaningless things with Li Rongxian. He didn't agree with his half-brother at all. Of course, he didn't have the desire to change Li Rongxian's thoughts. In the end, he said lightly: "What do you Airbus mean? How long will the price reduction last?"
"Of course until they get rid of some unrealistic ideas." Li Rongxian said naturally.
As soon as these words came out, Li Rongcheng lowered his head and sighed softly: "Xu Cang, you heard it, this is reality."
"Huh?" Li Rongxian was startled and looked around for a while, but he didn't find Xu Cang's figure.Suddenly, he turned his head abruptly, and met Xu Cang who was standing behind him.
Xu Cang stepped forward slowly, looked down at Li Rongxian who was sitting down, and just uttered three words: "Why?"
Li Rongxian was a little flustered at first, but soon he realized that he had no reason to panic at all, so he not only looked directly at Xu Cang, but even grinned: "This question is so childish that I don't know how to answer it." .”
As he spoke, Li Rongxian let out a breath and smiled even wider: "Xu Cang, do you know what those who climbed to the top first should do?"
Xu Cang raised his eyebrows, but he didn't answer.And Li Rongxian didn't want Xu Cang to answer at first, he suddenly let out that sharp laugh: "Those people shouldn't climb to a higher place, what they should do is to kick down those guys who try to surpass them .”
(End of this chapter)
Outside the training room, Yi Feng was holding on to the railing with a little impatience on his face. Beside him, Deng Wenjia was complaining endlessly: "Boss Yi, how could you tear up the contract in public?"
"Didn't I just say it, in order to keep Xu Cang here?" Yi Feng turned around, put his back against the railing, and wrapped his arms around: "Why are you in such a hurry, I'm fine."
Deng Wenjia is really in a hurry: "If you want to keep Xu Cang here, what's the use of tearing up the contract? It's illegal to tear up the contract. Besides, there are two copies of the contract, and Blue Sky Airlines has another copy. You can't go to Blue Sky Airlines. Did you tear up the other contract too?"
It can be seen that although Yi Feng's level is much higher than Deng Wenjia's, there is no obvious level difference between the two when they talk, and it is estimated that the two know each other in private.
What Deng Wenjia said is indeed reasonable, not to mention whether tearing up the contract is useful or not.Their contract with Blue Sky Airlines on the secondment of Xu Cang was originally in duplicate. The two airlines each kept one copy, but Blue Sky Airlines still had one.
"If you think it's necessary, I can also go to Blue Sky Airlines." Yi Feng said with a smile: "Don't forget, our national airline is also one of the shareholders of Blue Sky Airlines."
Deng Wenjia directly punctured the loophole in Yi Feng's words: "You can pull it down! National Airline's shareholding in Blue Sky Airlines is not ranked high at all, and you have no right to speak in Blue Sky Airlines. At the beginning, you were the bureau to prevent The pure private capital composition of Blue Sky Airlines was introduced on purpose, and it only has a symbolic meaning, do you think I don’t know?”
Blue Sky Airlines is one of the first airlines in China to have private capital participation, but the bureau allows private capital to participate, but does not allow an airline to be controlled by private capital alone.
Therefore, the largest shareholder of Blue Sky Airlines is not the private capital side of the investment, but the local provincial government.However, the provincial government is not a civil aviation professional after all. If the private capital people of Blue Sky Airlines start to do something small, even the provincial government may not be able to find out.Therefore, a knowledgeable third-party force must be arranged to supervise. This third-party force does not need to be very strong, it only needs to have a reason to help the provincial government review the internal situation of the company at a certain time.
And it was NUS Airlines that was selected by the bureau.National Airlines will basically not participate in the operation of Blue Sky, and of course they are not eligible.It's just that since the establishment of Blue Sky Airlines, its operations have been considered normal, and National Airline has not shown its face again, so that many senior executives of Blue Sky Airlines have forgotten that they still have shares in National University Airlines.
National Airlines wants to rely on this symbolic shareholding to force Blue Sky Airlines to hand over the contract, which is simply a dream.
"Hahahaha, you still remember. You were careful when you were still in National University, and I didn't expect to remember this." Yi Feng smiled, but he was not annoyed, but said casually: "Then I won't go to Blue Sky Airlines. chant."
Deng Wenjia held his forehead, he really didn't understand his once good friend.After calming down a little, Deng Wenjia asked, "Just now you said that Xu Cang affected Boeing's production capacity quota. What does that mean?"
"Of course it means literally." Speaking of this, Yi Feng restrained his playful expression, and glanced towards the training room: "Wen Jia, you tricked Xu Cang here is really beautiful, I didn't even expect it .”
Deng Wenjia rolled his eyes: "What is cheating?"
"Okay, whatever you call it!" Yi Feng smiled lightly: "Some time ago, we, Muhua and Tiandong proposed a big order to Boeing, but Boeing could only squeeze out the production capacity of [-] aircraft to give Us. Originally, because we and Tiandong had relatively more orders with Boeing before, in terms of production capacity allocation, we had a lot more orders than Tiandong, and Muhua's side naturally had a lot less. However, not long ago, Boeing's final The distribution plan was changed to an equal share among the three companies. Although I don't know what kind of deal this Xu Cang has with Boeing, I can be sure that this Xu Cang is really not simple."
"Xu Cang can influence Boeing's decision-making, how is this possible?" Deng Wenjia recalled the scene when he first met Xu Cang in his mind. At that time, he wanted Xu Cang to come here out of pure admiration for Xu Cang.
Originally, he thought that Xu Cang was just a pure, talented young second co-pilot.He still thinks so until today, but in Yi Feng's mouth, Xu Cang's energy can even influence Boeing's decision-making, which is really unimaginable.
Although in recent years, due to the rise of Airbus, Boeing's attitude has become slightly better.But if it is classified as easy to talk about, it is undoubtedly whimsical.
However, Deng Wenjia quickly thought of one thing, and immediately cursed: "I don't care why Xu Cang can influence Boeing, but since you know he has such great energy, why do you still force him? Not to mention whether you can If you force him to stay, even if you can stay, he will be unwilling, what's the use of being unwilling! Or are you just because Xu Cang reduced the production quota that originally belonged to National University Airlines, so you deliberately disgusted him?"
When it came to the last sentence, Yi Feng's expression became visibly unhappy: "Deng Wenjia, you used to be a member of National University Airlines, you should understand that since the predecessor of National University of China, the Civil Aviation Hanjing Administration Flight Corps 45 years ago, We have never been a pure airline. We are the only domestic airline company that can carry the national flag. This is our honor as the number one airline. Since we are the number one airline, we must have the courage to be the number one airline. As I said just now , Xu Cang can influence Boeing's decision-making, that is his ability, we will not blame him for this. Do you think I am Ma Cheng of Muhua, and I have nothing else in my mind except interests? As a state-owned enterprise, I have no Awakening, chasing profit like a capitalist is really shameful."
As the director of the strategy department of the three major airlines, he is in charge of grasping the future development direction of the entire airline company.Ke Yifeng looks down on Ma Cheng very much, thinking that Ma Cheng is full of the face of a capitalist.State-owned enterprises have to shoulder certain social responsibilities, but Ma Cheng is always thinking about how to make money by whatever means, which is really contrary to the original intention of the country to establish Muhua Airlines with the civil aviation resources in the whole south.
"Really?" Deng Wenjia was dubious: "Then tell me why you insisted on keeping Xu Cang, even if it made him feel unhappy?"
Yi Feng frowned, looked around, and confirmed that there was no one around, then lowered his voice and said: "Mr. Chen has been looking for me recently. He said that the country has agreed to carry out the development of large domestic aircraft, and he will be transferred to Shanghai later. On. When he talked with me, he mentioned Xu Cang, saying that he and Xu Cang had agreed before that Xu Cang would be the first batch of test pilots when the prototype of the domestically produced large aircraft came out. I will find out later After looking at Xu Cang's information, I feel that Mr. Chen still underestimated him, and Xu Cang should be the chief pilot of domestic large aircraft."
There have been rumors of domestically produced large aircraft many years ago, and Chen Laochen Jinwu has been running.If the country agreed to this project, then it must be logical for Mr. Chen to find Yi Feng in the past.
After all, Guoda Airlines is the largest airline company in China. If domestically produced large aircrafts are launched, Guoda Airlines may be an extremely important buyer in the future.Therefore, Deng Wenjia did not doubt what Yi Feng said about meeting Mr. Chen, but he had some doubts about Xu Cang in the second half.
Deng Wenjia admitted that Xu Cang was very good, but with so many excellent pilots in the country, Yi Feng directly appointed a second officer as the chief pilot of the future domestic large aircraft, which seemed too dreamy from any angle.
"You think I'm talking nonsense?" Yi Feng laughed.
Deng Wenjia didn't laugh, but said very seriously: "I think you're crazy."
"Am I crazy? That's because you haven't really understood that Xu Cang! Not long ago, he landed at the Yulong Airport in the southwest, and I will send you the video file of the plane's landing. You will know what peak skill is." Yi Feng let out a long breath: "In terms of technology alone, although I don't understand why, Xu Cang has already reached the peak. If he can't be the chief pilot of a large domestic aircraft, then no one can do it .”
Deng Wenjia looked at the extremely solemn Yi Feng, and his heart seemed to be full of turmoil.Yi Feng is not a few years older than him, but he is already the top executive of the largest airline company in China. It is absolutely not too much to say that he is a dragon and a phoenix.
It is said that geniuses are relatively light, but Yi Feng's vision is not ordinary.How terrifying is Xu Cang that can convince Yi Feng so much?However, Deng Wenjia still didn't understand one thing: "Since you say Xu Cang is so important, why do you still have to fight against him?"
"It doesn't matter to me to fight against him, because I never want to seek any benefits from him for myself or National Airlines, and he has the weight of the future of domestic civil aviation on his shoulders." Yi Feng whispered: "Now he is still young, I still don’t know what is a world of flamboyance and intrigues. The civil aviation circle is so big, and you know what kind of smog Air Blue is. In fact, it is not Blue Sky. You don’t have to be modest. Now the domestic company’s environment is good. After all, the rising sun is full of vitality. The environment will change people. You can guarantee that Xu Cang will not forget his original intention after staying in Blue Sky Aviation. I don’t care what happens to him in the future. During the year, he must live in a relatively clear environment. I hope he can maintain his innocence. It’s really a coincidence. I came up with this idea after meeting Mr. Chen. I didn’t expect you to help me directly. I got things done."
"Aren't you afraid that he will hate you?" Deng Wenjia asked back.
"It doesn't matter if he hates me. There are many people who hate me, and there is not much more than him. It's okay to hate me. Someone has to be the villain, as long as he hates you."
"Then what is the 777 test at Aden Airport?" Deng Wenjia asked.
"It's okay to tell you, anyway, you will know in a few months." Yi Feng is not secretive: "Our National Airlines has an order for 777, so we know about it earlier and the content is more detailed. Two In a month or so, at most three months, Boeing will organize a 777 engine limit test in Aden, Daocheng, and that Xu Cang just now will be one of the test crews."
Deng Wenjia couldn't believe it: "What did you say? He went to test the 777, will he drive the 777?"
"Deng Wenjia, it looks like you really don't know him at all. Can he drive a 777? It's as ridiculous as he can drive a 747 and a 320." Yi Feng smiled jokingly: "Use your most exaggerated Construct the image of a genius pilot with your own imagination, and that is Xu Cang!"
"You" Deng Wenjia was stunned for half a minute, Yi Feng's words had already revealed too much.At this moment, he is extremely eager to see the landing of Yulong Airport, which Yi Feng said just now represents the pinnacle of flying skills.
After waiting for a long time, Deng Wenjia temporarily calmed down, but he realized another problem: "That's the original problem. You tore up the contract just now. It's actually useless. If he wants to go back, he can still go back."
Yi Feng straightened his upper body slightly and left the railing: "The contract is just a trivial thing. He was seconded from Blue Sky Airlines to Shandong Airlines in the name of internal transfer of National Airline. If he comes over, we can sign at Air China, but if he wants to go back, we don’t have to sign.”
Deng Wenjia was stunned by Yi Feng's words, and after a long time, Deng Wenjia said worriedly: "Will this be too nasty?"
"Damn it, why did it go down? Did I let him go to the mountain of swords, or did he go into the sea of fire?" Yi Feng brushed off his clothes, and suddenly, the cell phone in his pocket came to mind.
I took it out and saw that the number belonged to my secretary.Yi Feng did not avoid suspicion, and directly answered the phone in front of Deng Wenjia: "Hello, what's the matter?"
Naturally, Deng Wenjia was not interested in eavesdropping on Yi Feng's phone call, but soon, he found that Yi Feng, who had a normal expression, gradually became gloomy, until finally he hung up the phone, and Yi Feng's face was visible to the naked eye. angry.
"What's wrong?" Deng Wenjia asked casually.
Yi Feng rubbed his white teeth, and put the phone back into his pocket. He lowered his eyelids and looked at Deng Wenjia, paused, and finally said: "Boeing just informed us that the price of future aircraft will be reduced!"
"Price reduction?" Deng Wenjia didn't understand the joints consciously. If the price of the Boeing plane is to be reduced, shouldn't Yi Feng be happy, why does he look quite unhappy.
"Sure enough, it started again." Yi Feng licked his dry lips: "I'm leaving, I have to go back to the headquarters."
"Oh." Before Deng Wenjia even had time to say goodbye, Yi Feng hurriedly ran to the elevator.
At this time, in the training classroom, the secondment contract torn up by Yi Feng was still scattered on the ground, while the crowd in front of the onlookers had already dispersed, leaving only the distraught Xian Tong and two people, a man and a woman, who were by his side. ground instructor.
Xu Cang had already walked to the corner of the classroom and called Lu Jinghua.
"Brother Lu, do you know the director of the Strategy Department of NUS Aviation?" Xu Cang asked hurriedly.
Lu Jinghua on the other end of the phone said unhappily: "I'm the department head of a small company. Guoda Airlines is the number one in China, and the head of the strategy department already belongs to the decision-making level. I don't know how many levels behind him. Where am I? Recognize? No, aren’t you at Shandong Airlines, why did you ask about the director of the strategy department of National University Aviation?”
"I want to know the fuck too." Xu Cang himself was speechless, so he told a series of things that happened when Yi Feng came in just now, and finally asked worriedly: "He tore up my contract, saying it was for the I stay at Shandong Airlines, is that true?"
After waiting for a while, Lu Jinghua said: "If we only talk about the contract, our flight department still has one, so it doesn't really matter if he tore up the Shandong Airlines contract."
"It turned out to be fooling people." Xu Cang relaxed, and Yi Feng's swearing appearance just now really scared Xu Cang: "It doesn't matter if it doesn't matter, then it's fine, okay, don't talk, hang up Already!"
"Wait!" Just as Xu Cang was about to hang up, Lu Jinghua stopped him suddenly: "Don't hang up yet."
Xu Cang hummed: "What's wrong?"
"I thought about it for a while. We do still have a contract. But when your secondment period is over, if you want to transfer your working relationship back to Blue Sky Airlines, you still need National Airlines to sign it. What if...they don't sign it?"
"I..." Xu Cang was stunned, and almost yelled: "That, that, let's do this first, I'll think of a way first."
After speaking, Xu Cang hung up the phone directly.
After hanging up the phone, Xu Cang's first thought was to get the bureau involved.However, the bureau would not interfere with this kind of personnel transfer within the company, and he didn't want to make it difficult for Di Qingquan or his master Chen Xiangdong.
Just when Xu Cang was restless, he suddenly caught a glimpse of Xiantong on the stage looking towards him.
"Xu Cang, do you really want to take part in the test flight of 777?" Xiantong sat on the edge of the table, not caring whether the ground was dirty or not, but asked Xu Cang a little absent-mindedly.
Xu Cang did not deny it, but nodded: "It should be."
"So that's how it is!" Xiantong sighed, looking extremely tired: "Okay! Xu Cang, I admit defeat this time, and I will sign it for you. And, as I said before, as long as I can do it Yes, I can help you with something."
Xu Cang hurriedly shook his head like a rattle: "No, no!"
Xu Cang dared to bother him because he was old and frail. If something happened in the middle, it would be too late for him to regret it.
Xu Cang was only worried about Xiantong's body at first, but Xiantong snorted, his eyes staring like copper bells: "Do you think this old man is old and useless?"
Xu Cang just wanted to deny it, but suddenly, an idea popped into his mind, and he asked tentatively: "Teacher, if I invite you to teach the theory of machine models in another company in the future, is it okay?"
"Huh?" Xiantong was startled, and said immediately: "If I want to leave, National University Airlines will not make it difficult. It's just where do you want me to go, this way?"
"No, no!" Xu Cang smiled and said, "That airline company doesn't exist yet, but there will be one in the future. Teacher Xian just needs to remember the promise he made to me."
Xiantong squinted his eyes, took a deep look at Xu Cang, and suddenly laughed loudly: "Okay! But you have to hurry up, I am so weak, who knows when I will die, then I have to bear a promise of dishonesty." reputation."
At this moment, the female teacher came slowly, holding the teaching diary in her hand and handing it to Xu Cang: "We have already signed it, you can go back, the teacher is tired today."
"Yeah!" Xu Cang gratefully took over the teaching log: "Then I'll go first."
Xiantong waved his hand weakly: "Go, I hope we can meet again in the future."
Xu Cang saluted Xian Tong, and then left first.Holding the teaching log, Xu Cang went directly to Feibiao's office and handed it over to the Feibiao female employee just now.
The female employee looked at the signatures of the three teachers on the teaching log, and then recalled the scene where Xu Cang asked Xiantong back, and suddenly felt a little lost.
"Hello, is there any problem with this?" Xu Cang called softly.
The female employee blushed a bit: "No, no, no problem. By the way, we haven't finished the test papers yet, and we will notify you as soon as possible, okay?"
"Oh, that's it, that's fine, it's troublesome." When the test papers didn't come out, Xu Cang could only wait.
After everything was settled, Xu Cang left the base building of Shandong Airlines with a little restlessness.It's just that as soon as he left the gate of the base, he bumped into a slightly stooped figure head-on.
The man was stunned when he saw Xu Cang coming out, and then a smile appeared on his withered face: "Little friend, what a coincidence."
Xu Cang bent down slightly: "Old Chen Chen?"
The visitor turned out to be Chen Jinwu who had met once before.
At this time, Ma Cheng's hearty laughter was echoing on the rooftop of Muhua Aviation's base.
"Old Liu, do you know? Boeing informed us just now that the price of the whole machine will drop by 5.00% from now on, and the price of subsequent maintenance and aviation materials will also drop accordingly, up to [-]%, hahahaha." Ma Cheng praised Sipping coffee, his face was covered with a smile: "So, this is Tianyou Muhua. The civil aviation market will be opened soon, and more aircraft will definitely be purchased in the future. With this calculation, we can save a lot of money in the future. .”
Take a 737-800 with normal configuration as an example, the price of the whole machine is about 2000 million yuan, and the cost of just one aircraft can be almost [-] million less than before, not counting the follow-up maintenance and the purchase of aviation materials.
Liu Minxue, who was next to Ma Cheng, didn't look so happy, but said lightly: "I heard that the country has agreed to establish a research and development base for domestically produced large aircraft in Shanghai. Our company seems to have invested a lot of money."
"It's just right!" Ma Chengzhi said proudly, "At first I had no interest in that large domestic aircraft. That thing is simply a bottomless pit. Because we are a state-owned enterprise, we are forced to invest money in it. Aren't Boeing and Airbus ready-made?" Is it a good aircraft, what can I spend a lot of money to develop?"
Liu Minxue glanced at Ma Cheng: "What if Airbus and Boeing team up to block us in the future?"
"I said, Lao Liu, you have been a management person anyway, what nonsense are you talking about? Now it is global free trade, how can you get stuck with us." Ma Cheng didn't care at all: "Boeing just dropped its price now, that Let’s forget about the domestically produced large aircraft. Just invest a little money, and it’s enough to send it off.”
"But I heard that National University Airlines invested a lot of money this time." Liu Minxue said suddenly.
Ma Cheng curled his lips: "That's why they are the least profitable among the three major airlines. Just like their routes spread everywhere, if there is anything good to fly in the northwest, they will lose money."
"But have you ever thought about why China National Airlines flies those routes? Doesn't their marketing department know how to analyze the revenue forecast? Doesn't they know that those Northwest routes will lose money?" Liu Minxue sighed faintly. He asked a question that hit the soul directly: "Or do you think our three major airlines are purely airlines, and everything is based on profit?"
These words directly hit Ma Cheng's heart. One second he was still smiling, but the next second he cooled down instantly.The two were relatively silent for a long time, and finally Ma Cheng drank the remaining coffee, threw the paper cup into the trash can next to him, and left without saying a word.
"I do not know what you're talking about."
Xu Cang and Chen Jinwu sat together on the stone bench in the small garden of the Shandong Airlines base.Wanting to meet Chen Jinwu for the first time at Blue Sky Airlines, it has only been a few months now, but how does Xu Cang feel that it has been so long?
"I heard that little friend has done something big recently?" Chen Jinwu said with a smile.
Xu Cang scratched his head embarrassingly: "Where, it's just a matter of little effort."
"With a little effort, the great event of saving millions of lives is also a matter of little effort?" Chen Jinwu praised: "This man, there is no need to cover up the merits he has done."
"Really?" In front of Chen Jinwu, Xu Cang still looked a little cautious, like a nervous elementary school student: "But, Mr. Chen, why are you here?"
"Me!" Chen Jinwu patted Xu Cang's shoulder suddenly: "Do you still remember that you told me to ask me to take the initiative to apply for a transfer to Shangfei? Later, I followed your suggestion and applied. Unexpectedly, a few days ago The country agreed to the development of the large aircraft, and it was led by Shangfei. I have caught up with it. I will be stationed in Shanghai later. I just received an appointment from Hanjing. I heard that you are here. It just so happened that a kid was coming over too, so I stopped by. Say goodbye and thank you, and I’m going to Shanghai later.”
"So that's how it is." Xu Cang asked cautiously, "Old Chen, does our large aircraft development project have a name?"
"Huh?" Chen Jinwu didn't expect Xu Cang to ask directly.
Seeing Chen Jinwu's expression, Xu Cang thought he had touched a secret, and hurriedly said, "I'm just asking casually, if it's inconvenient, you don't have to say it."
"It's not inconvenient, but there's really nothing to say." Chen Jinwu sighed: "You also know that our domestically produced large aircraft is basically starting from scratch. Now there are only some framework things. Even the name of the aircraft does not matter." It's not decided yet."
Xu Cang nodded, this is in line with the history of C919 he remembered.In the absence of my own intervention, whether it is the C919 or the development unit COMAC will have to wait a few years before it will appear.This also means that when Mr. Chen goes to Shanghai this time, he will have to save up for several years!
The road to the development of domestic large aircraft is really bumpy.If I remember correctly, Mr. Chen should be going to the Shanghai Aircraft Design Institute, and this unit will become the backbone of COMAC from now on.
It's just that Xu Cang doesn't quite understand that if the development of domestically produced large aircraft starts now, even if the domestic experience in large aircraft is completely blank, it won't mean that there will be no accumulation for several years.
Because according to historical development, the C919 project was approved eight years later. Why did C919 only complete the project eight years later? Mr. Chen was called to Shanghai this time, and it took eight years of hard work to complete a project. This is obviously unreasonable. ah?
Could it be that something happened during these eight years that interrupted the development of large aircraft?
"Little friend, do you remember our previous agreement?" Chen Jinwu asked suddenly.
Xu Cangguang was thinking about other things, and he lost his mind for a while, but Chen Jinwu yelled again before he came back to his senses, and immediately said: "Of course I remember."
Chen Jinwu nodded with a smile: "At that time, I went to the Southwest to do ARJ21. I just wanted to pick up the Third Hospital with my little friend. I didn't expect to meet such a young hero. I still said what I said before, everything is voluntary, don't have any burden."
From Chen Jinwu's cloudy but resolute eyes, Xu Cang saw sincerity. The words just now were not hypocritical, but Chen Jinwu sincerely hoped that Xu Cang would follow his inner thoughts.
Xu Cang nodded heavily.Seeing this, Chen Jinwu laughed heartily: "That's right! A child of your age should enjoy life. If you are made to bear the pressure of your family and country unwillingly, it means that we old people are incompetent." .”
Seeing how happy Chen Jinwu was, Xu Cang also laughed.
Suddenly, Chen Jinwu's cell phone rang, and he picked it up to answer it.However, due to the strong wind, it was difficult to hear clearly.After thinking for a while, Chen Jinwu directly turned on the speakerphone, and then said to the phone: "Say it, now."
"Mr. Chen, I just received the news that several companies that originally intended to invest have withdrawn their capital, and the rest seem to have to cut their investment." An anxious voice came from a young man on the phone.
Chen Jinwu frowned: "Why is this happening, isn't it all agreed before?"
"It seems that Boeing has notified various domestic airline companies that they will lower the price of the complete aircraft, subsequent maintenance and aviation materials, and then"
Chen Jinwu's eyelids twitched, he was silent for a long time, and finally said: "Okay, I got it!"
After finishing speaking, Chen Jinwu hung up the phone directly.
Xu Cang's face gradually sank beside him. He finally understood why he started the development of domestically produced large aircraft in 2000, but the project was not actually approved until eight years later. It turned out that there were external factors that prevented it.
In fact, Xu Cang can also understand the thinking of those investors. It is better to buy than to build. This idea is the mainstream in this era.Self-developed large aircraft is a bottomless pit. If you are not careful, you may even lose your money. The value of investment is indeed not high in the market.But at this moment, Boeing has lowered the price, and the necessity of self-research has been greatly reduced. Those investors naturally feel that the future is hopeless, either withdrawing capital or reducing investment, which is a relatively normal capitalization operation.
However, to understand is one thing, and to be able to agree is another.
"Old Chen, if the funds are not enough, how about applying to the state?" Xu Cang asked carefully.
Chen Jinwu sighed and said: "You don't understand, the country has squeezed out a lot of funds for this. The country has a lot to do, we can't point everything at the country, she also has many difficulties."
The cost of self-developed large aircraft is astronomical. Even if Xu Cang wanted to help, he couldn't do anything, so he could only ask, "Mr. Chen, what should we do?"
"It's okay, I'm used to it!" Chen Jinwu smiled bitterly: "Isn't it the same with chips back then? As long as we want to develop chips by ourselves, the foreign people will start to cut prices. It's an old-fashioned method."
Xu Cang was silent, but Chen Jinwu actually didn't say a word.This method is indeed very old-fashioned, but it is very useful.Moreover, Xu Cang knew that domestic chips would have to suffer a lot because of this in the future. Could it be that domestically produced large aircraft will follow in the footsteps of chips?
In the glorious age, under the real historical tide, Xu Cang only felt an indescribable sense of sadness and powerlessness.
Suddenly, Chen Jinwu got up, and he squeezed out a smile and patted Xu Cang's shoulder: "Okay, let's stop here today. Maybe we will have a chance to meet again in the future."
After finishing speaking, Chen Jinwu didn't care what Xu Cang said, and left on his own, leaving Xu Cang with the figure that seemed even more hunched.
Xu Cang's chest heaved rapidly, and the fire of resentment almost filled his chest. He was in so much pain, but he had no way to vent it.
When he was reborn, he felt that he was the only chosen one. He wanted to change a lot. In fact, he did achieve some.But when it comes to things that affect historical changes, Xu Cang is so insignificant, the weight of history almost makes him breathless.
Suddenly, Xu Cang's cell phone rang.He let out a long breath, and glanced at the number displayed on the phone, it was Li Rongcheng's.
After thinking for a while, Xu Cang connected the phone.Li Rongcheng's voice soon came from the opposite side: "Xu Cang, is it convenient to meet now, I'm here in Qizhou."
"Okay!" Xu Cang said heavily: "It's just right, I want to see you too."
In an open-air coffee shop somewhere in the center of Qizhou, Li Rongcheng narrowed his eyes and looked at his brother Li Rongxian who came in a hurry.
Li Rongxian still had that cynical look. He sat down opposite Li Rongcheng, looked around, and asked curiously, "Why are you here? I have business, and I'm talking about an order with Shanhang?"
Li Rongcheng was not in a good mood: "Can you talk about the business directly."
"Brothers meet, there's no need to be so serious." Li Rongxian snapped his fingers, summoned the waiter, ordered a glass of American latte, and then asked with a chuckle, "Is there a friend of yours here?"
Li Rongcheng stared: "Li Rongxian, did you come here because you were so bored that you arranged for me?"
"Forget it!" Seeing that Li Rongcheng was going to get angry, Li Rongxian restrained his smile and shrugged: "If you want to talk about business, let's talk about business! Just now, I heard that your Boeing is going to cut prices?"
But Li Rongcheng shouldn't, just sipping coffee like this.
However, Li Rongxian was not annoyed at all, and said to himself: "Although I thought your decision-makers at Boeing were as stupid as pigs before, the response this time is very fast. The price cut is right, and our Airbus will follow suit." , the range is the same as yours. This time I came here to let you know, so as not to cooperate badly and be taken advantage of by them."
Li Rongcheng poured down his glass slowly, and suddenly asked, "What's the time?"
The corner of Li Rongxian's mouth curled up a sneer: "That's naturally a delusion to think that you can develop your own big plane!"
"Oh." Li Rongcheng said casually.
However, Li Rongxian raised his eyebrows when he saw this, "You don't seem very interested."
Li Rongcheng snorted: "Annoying!"
"Hahaha!" Li Rongxian let out a burst of sharp laughter, just like the cry of the night owl in the wild: "I said Li Rongcheng, can you put away that ridiculous blood relationship."
He pointed to the surrounding customers, leaned his neck forward, stared at his brother, grinned and said, "You don't have any so-called compatriot feelings with these people, do you? You are different, you are not the same People in the world, people go to high places, why do you look all the way down?"
Li Rongcheng didn't want to debate these meaningless things with Li Rongxian. He didn't agree with his half-brother at all. Of course, he didn't have the desire to change Li Rongxian's thoughts. In the end, he said lightly: "What do you Airbus mean? How long will the price reduction last?"
"Of course until they get rid of some unrealistic ideas." Li Rongxian said naturally.
As soon as these words came out, Li Rongcheng lowered his head and sighed softly: "Xu Cang, you heard it, this is reality."
"Huh?" Li Rongxian was startled and looked around for a while, but he didn't find Xu Cang's figure.Suddenly, he turned his head abruptly, and met Xu Cang who was standing behind him.
Xu Cang stepped forward slowly, looked down at Li Rongxian who was sitting down, and just uttered three words: "Why?"
Li Rongxian was a little flustered at first, but soon he realized that he had no reason to panic at all, so he not only looked directly at Xu Cang, but even grinned: "This question is so childish that I don't know how to answer it." .”
As he spoke, Li Rongxian let out a breath and smiled even wider: "Xu Cang, do you know what those who climbed to the top first should do?"
Xu Cang raised his eyebrows, but he didn't answer.And Li Rongxian didn't want Xu Cang to answer at first, he suddenly let out that sharp laugh: "Those people shouldn't climb to a higher place, what they should do is to kick down those guys who try to surpass them .”
