Return to 2000: Captain of the Great Powers

Chapter 155 The confrontation of aero-engine giants! (Please subscribe!)

In the office of the Vice President of Operations of Blue Sky Airlines in Jianchuan City, Luo Yong was looking at a message from the bureau, which asked the airlines to conduct special inspections on their aircraft, especially the engine.

There is no doubt that the cause of this message is naturally flight 9451.It is emphasized in the message that not only Airbus aircraft, but all other types of passenger aircraft must undergo detailed inspections.

Luo Yong put down the message, scratched his hair, which was not much at all, and when he put down his hand, two more strands were torn from his hand.Luo Yong felt distressed and brushed the two hairs on his hand into the trash can next to him, pointed at the message irritably, and directed to Lu Jinghua who was across the table: "Distribute the request from the Bureau, right, and the special and maintenance staff." The Ministry of Security explained, we have to be careful this time, and don't try to be perfunctory."

Since Yu Fengtian, the vice president of maintenance, was dismissed, Blue Sky Airlines has not mentioned a new vice president of maintenance.Some matters that require decision-making are first managed by Luo Yong, and when it is the turn of relatively professional matters, someone else will provide professional advice to Luo Yong.

At first, Rayong was quite proud.This is the right to be the vice president of operations and vice president of maintenance.But two powers mean two responsibilities, and Luo Yong regretted it within a few days.Not to mention whether he can support such a workload, his hair seems to be unable to support it first.

Lu Jinghua took a glance at the bureau's message, nodded, "I will pass it on."

Luo Yong looked at his thinning hair in the small mirror next to him, twiddled it a few times, and said casually: "It's the off-season recently, and there are not many flights, so I just took this opportunity to find out the situation of the plane. After a while, it will be summer sports again, and the planes will not be able to leave at that time.”

"Well, I understand that."

"By the way, Shandong Airlines said that a plane fell into the sea?" Luo Yong glanced: "It's Xu Cang's good deed again?"

Lu Jinghua choked for breath, and laughed dryly: "I'm not very clear about this."

Luo Yong sneered and said: "You can push it down, didn't you go to Qizhou? I heard that there were more than 20 people on the plane who wanted to sue him. Do you think this kid deliberately drove the plane into the sea? Public revenge?"

"Isn't it possible?" Lu Jinghua's first thought was not to believe it, but considering Xu Cang's character of not being afraid that day and not being afraid of the earth, there is still a possibility of one in ten thousand.

Luo Yong slapped the small mirror on the table and yawned: "It's hard to say."

Lu Jinghua tucked the report under his arm, hesitated, and said to Luo Yong: "Mr. Luo, Director Li asked for it yesterday, saying that Xu Cang's work relationship will be transferred from Shandong Airlines."

A hint of surprise flashed across Luo Yong's eyes: "Are you coming back?"

Director Li is the representative of China National Airlines in Blue Sky Airlines, but this person basically doesn't care.But anyway, he is also a shareholder representative, so Lu Jinghua still needs to listen to what he has to say, especially if he represents Guoda Airlines.

Although National Airline's shares in Blue Sky Airlines will not affect the relevant decision-making, but face still has to be given.

"No." Even Lu Jinghua himself felt a little surprised: "It's not coming back to our place, but to another airline company. What Director Li means is to let us not make things difficult when the time comes."

Luo Yong raised his eyelids: "What do you mean, let's let him go, can't he go to National University Airlines?"

As for Xu Cang, in terms of his ability to cause trouble, Luo Yong estimated that he would never see anyone better than this in eight lifetimes.He messed up more things alone than other airline pilots.

However, Xu Cang's technical ability is really harder than diamonds.If you like bad habits that cause trouble, it is definitely a top-notch technical talent.Could it be that National University Airlines has developed a love of talents, but it is reasonable to pay Xu Cang, a grandson, with the background of National University Airlines.

"Shouldn't it?" On the contrary, Lu Jinghua didn't really think that Xu Cang was going to Air China.Xu Cang is a free-spirited person. He has mentioned to him more than once that he doesn't like Blue Sky Airlines. bound?
Besides, National University Airlines is still aboveboard in its actions, if it wants Xu Cang, it will not be too secretive, and it has been made clear to them long ago.Since Director Li, the representative of National University Airlines, clearly stated that it is another airline company, then there is a high probability that it is not National University Airlines.

"What shouldn't it be?" Luo Yong actually didn't care much about Xu Cang, this person is too good at torturing, and Lan Tianhanghangmiao really can't bear this person to toss around.

Lu Jinghua didn't leave immediately, but thought about his words and said, "Mr. Luo, I may have to leave later."

Even though the topic of Xu Cang was mentioned earlier, Luo Yong actually didn't have much emotional fluctuations, because he felt that when Xu Cang left Blue Sky Airlines, he probably would never come back again.Luo Yong has no interest in caring about people who have nothing to do with him in the future.

But Lu Jinghua is different. Although Luo Yong is the top person in charge of the entire flight system, Lu Jinghua is actually doing many things.Over the past few years, Lu Jinghua has become the best general manager of the flight department, but Luo Yong doesn't want his capable general to run away.

Luo Yong controlled his situation, pretending to be nonchalant and said, "Is there another company that recruited you with a high salary?"

"No, I wanted to leave myself." Perhaps because he was afraid that Luo Yong would not believe it, Lu Jinghua added: "Mr. Luo, if other companies offer a high price and I leave, I probably left very early. Will wait until now."

Luo Yong nodded, agreeing with Lu Jinghua's words.Lu Jinghua's ability is very strong, and he is still well-known in the industry. It's not like other airlines have never had contact with Lu Jinghua.Rayong alone knows three of them, and one of them is opposite Blue Sky Airlines.

Everyone in the industry knows that if you want to poach someone, you must give a higher price. After so many years, those airlines who are attracted to Lu Jinghua can always give a price that is satisfactory to ordinary people, but Lu Jinghua has never had any desire. The performance of leaving.

Luo Yong's mood fluctuated slightly: "That's something in the company that makes you feel uncomfortable, someone is embarrassing you?"

"Not anymore." Lu Jinghua confessed embarrassingly: "Mr. Luo, let me tell you clearly. Xu Cang said that he will set up a new airline company in Erhai, based on Ms. Qin's Erhai base. Yes. Mr. Luo, you also know that my stay here has become more and more unsatisfactory in the past few years, I still hope to get back the feeling of fighting before, but continue to stay here to rot and stink."

To be honest, Lu Jinghua's dissatisfaction did not lie in his promotion. Whether it was technical level or administrative level, Lu Jinghua's promotion was very fast.

But Lu Jinghua has certain ideals, and the higher he gets to a higher position, the more he feels that the interior of Blue Sky Airlines is filthy.He didn't have the ability to change all of this, so that he became less interested in the future, which was completely incomparable with the energy he had when he joined Blue Sky Airlines at the beginning.

Of course Luo Yong understood what Lu Jinghua meant, and he could also see that Lu Jinghua was just dealing with work and had no enthusiasm.But Lu Jinghua's ability is very strong, just by his attitude towards work, he can handle the affairs he arranged in an orderly manner.

"Jinghua, I know you can't see those dirty things, but you have to know that all other places are the same, and you just want to solve it in another place, that's impossible."

However, Lu Jinghua seemed to have made up his mind: "Mr. Luo, I believe in Xu Cang. At least I am willing to fight with Xu Cang. When Xu Cang leaves later, I will hand in my resignation letter. Mr. Luo, you should You won't embarrass me, will you?"

Luo Yong's face suddenly turned livid, and he waved his hands: "Get out, get out, leave it all to me. Isn't it just two people? I don't care if you want to leave!"

Hanjing Civil Aviation Administration, Ma Cheng hung up the phone with an unfriendly expression, and beside him, the representative of Rongcheng Airlines hurriedly asked: "Mr. Ma, what did Xu Cang say? Do you know the reason?"

Ma Cheng put the phone in his bag, his eyes sparkled. He didn't know how to explain to the representative of Rongcheng Airlines, so he thought for a while and said, "I'm going to meet with Xu Cang to understand the situation in person."

"Let's talk face to face?" The representative of Rongcheng Airlines is not an idiot either. Hearing what Ma Cheng said, he knew that Xu Cang must know something. It is estimated that Xu Cang has any conditions to talk about.He was also an ant on the hot pot at the moment, and immediately said: "Mr. Ma, when are you leaving, I will go with you."

Ma Cheng did not refuse: "Of course, the sooner the better, I'll go back and clean up, and then check the flight to Jianchuan, and I'll let you know if I have any news."

"Okay, okay!" The representative of Rongcheng Airlines nodded like a chicken pecking at rice: "Then go and do it, I will tell my family."

Changing from Hanjing to Jianchuan is not the planned itinerary, no matter what, I have to explain it to my family.

Ma Cheng hummed, and left in a hurry.And the representative of Rongcheng Airlines was about to make a call, when a figure flashed beside him, and upon closer inspection, it turned out to be Wang Baotian.

Wang Baotian lived in the hospital in Qizhou for a few days. After he was discharged from the hospital, he came to Hanjing because of the 9451 incident. He did not expect to meet his old employer.

Wang Baotian has flown in Rongcheng Airlines for most of his life, and even won the highest honor as a meritorious pilot during the period of Rongcheng Airlines.However, Chengdu Airlines later switched to operating Airbus models, and even became an all-Airbus fleet in recent years.

In this way, there is no room for Wang Baotian.So, I went to Shandong Airlines a few years before retirement.

Although Shandong Airlines seems to have only been established for one year, its actual history is longer.The current Shandong Airlines is more than a year away from reorganization.

Wang Baotian's departure was forced by the company's transformation, and the two sides had no major grievances.Therefore, the representative of Rongcheng Airlines greeted Wang Baotian with a smile: "Teacher Wang, why are you here?"

"It wasn't about the 9451 incident some time ago, didn't you come here because of it?" Wang Baotian sighed.

"Ah, yes! I remembered, you were on it at the time." The representative of Rongcheng Airlines looked a little embarrassed: "Mr. Wang, it stands to reason that we met at Hanjing, so I have to ask you to explain Reminiscing about the old days. However, I have something urgent and may be leaving Hanjing soon, so I can’t treat guests.”

Wang Baotian hurriedly said: "It's okay, it's okay, these are all trivial matters. By the way, what's your hurry?"

"Go find someone." The representative of Rongcheng Airlines was a little absent-minded.There is no way, at this time Rongcheng Airlines is already in the middle of the night, how can he really have the mood to reminisce with Wang Baotian?

Wang Baotian was a little curious: "Looking for someone, who are you looking for?"

"Speaking of which, I have some fate with you, teacher." The representative of Rongcheng Airlines' eyes lit up: "Xu Cang, it's Xu Cang!"

Wang Baotian was stunned for a moment, and then he yelled almost in a breaking tone: "No!"

In a coffee shop in the terminal building of Erhai Airport, Xu Cang sat at a table with two people from IAE, and Qin Xin and Chen Huaxin sat at a table a little further away.

Xu Cang sized up the two white men in front of him with great interest, one of them was muscular and his eyes were like copper bells, he seemed to be a bodyguard.And the other person is personable, not very old, and he tidies up more delicately. This person should be in charge.

Sure enough, the younger man introduced himself with a smile: "Hi, my name is Tim, from IAE."

This man named Tim spoke Chinese with a very strong accent, and Xu Cang needed a little reaction to understand.And the big man next to him never said a word, and he didn't take off his sunglasses. People who didn't know thought it was a sculpture dummy.

"Okay, okay, I don't understand the organizational structure of your foreign company, you said that a position doesn't mean much to me, so just tell me what you can do with me."

"Mr. Xu is really straightforward." Tim didn't feel embarrassed at all, on the contrary, he appreciated Xu Cang's straightforward speech.Now that he said that, he didn't hide it anymore, and immediately stared at Xu Cang with burning eyes: "Mr. Xu, you were responsible for the recent flight 9451 incident in your country, right?"

Xu Cang knew that this kind of thing couldn't be hidden anymore, so there was no need to hide it, so he hummed: "It's me, what's the matter?"

Now Tim's eyes lit up: "It is rumored that it was caused by the explosion of the Airbus engine. Your CAAC has also issued a no-fly order recently. Is there such a thing?"

Xu Cang squeezed half of his face: "Don't you all know that these are not difficult things to inquire about. You came here just to verify the authenticity. Are people in IAE so free?"

"No, we do know, and the information is very detailed." The representative of the IAE company was a little emotional: "The engine exploded. According to the information we got, our technical department guessed that this should be a defect in the engine itself."

Xu Cang frowned: "What on earth do you want to do, don't just talk nonsense."

"Mr. Xu, our IAE company is the third largest aero-engine company in the world."

Xu Cang has lost his patience. How can this foreigner beat around the bush: "I know what your IAE company does, and now I want to know why you are looking for me. I have something important right now. If there is nothing important , I have to get busy."

"No, no, Mr. Xu, don't be in a hurry, this time there is a big matter to discuss, a very big matter." The representative of the IAE company hesitated for a while, and said: "Mr. Xu, we learned that you and Boeing made a deal and wanted the blueprint of the 737NG, and we recently learned that your country is going to develop its own large aircraft, could it be that Mr. Xu is a patriotic person with lofty ideals?"

Xu Cang leaned back in disgust, why does it get weirder the more he listens to the words of a man of lofty ideals from a white man?

However, he was not surprised that his dealings with Boeing were known to the IAE.Because IAE has shares in Pratt & Whitney, and Pratt & Whitney has a relatively deep cooperation with Boeing in the field of engines, so there must be some channels for private communication between the two.

Tim's idea is very simple. If the drawing of 737NG is important, it must be very important.However, if there is no national power to develop it, it will be a piece of waste paper.

It just so happens that this time coincides with the start of self-development of domestically produced large aircraft, and the timing is indeed a bit of a coincidence.

Of course, this is Tim's wild guess.However, when the blind cat bumped into the dead mouse, it really touched Xu Cang's inner thoughts.He is going to hand over the drawings of 737NG to the country.

Although Tim didn't elaborate on the reason for his visit, Xu Cang had a taste for it. IAE ranks third in the field of aero engines, and above him is CFM, and they have direct competition in the field of Airbus 320.

In this way, things seem to be much clearer.

"Could you be trying to drag me to deal with CFM?" Xu Cang asked tentatively.

Tim laughed: "It's a golden opportunity, it's a pity if we don't make good use of it. Mr. Xu, you don't need to come forward, just tell us some details about the engine failure, the more detailed the better, we have plenty of means Make this a big deal."

Xu Cang also smiled: "But the investigation results haven't come out yet."

"Why do you have to come out? Are the facts important? It's not just relying on media propaganda. No matter what it is, as long as it is repeated hundreds of times, the public will think it is true."

Xu Cang took a deep breath: "You guys really want CFM to die!"
