C159 DuC156 Danger reappears!Fate reincarnation! (Please subscribe!)
On the second day after Xu Cang's rebirth, because of his bad behavior in the early stage, Blue Sky Airlines conducted a route evaluation on Xu Cang.If the result of the route assessment is barely acceptable, the company will continue to give him opportunities, and if the result is too bad, he will be forced to transfer to a ground position.
Instructor Wang Qiang was the inspector in charge of route evaluation at that time, and it turned out that Xu Cang had no problems in the oral test, and even surprised Instructor Wang Qiang a little bit, but in the later practice flight, during take-off, Xu Cang actually put the The plane had to wipe the tail.
Afterwards, if Xu Cang hadn't accidentally solved the problem of Feiyu Aviation's twin engine flameouts, he would have switched to a ground position or other occupations long ago.
At that time, the plane that Xu Cang wiped the tail was 1566. At that time, Xu Cang felt that there was something wrong with this plane.However, at first, most people just thought that Xu Cang was looking for reasons for his operational mistakes, until later Xu Cang flew to 1566 during a certain flight, and the captain also encountered the problem of abnormal nose-up. It was extremely thrilling.However, fortunately, the process was a bit scary, but nothing major happened after all.
In view of this later, Blue Sky Airlines did check 1566.It's just that I didn't find any problems later.As a result, Xu Cang had a conflict with Yu Fengtian, then vice president of maintenance, over whether 1566 should undergo a D inspection.
In order to solve the problem of the 1566 aircraft, Xu Cang even submitted a compromise plan, but in the end, there was no follow-up news.
For this plane, Xu Cang was exhausted physically and mentally, so he didn't care about it afterward and let it develop.
Unexpectedly, 1566 let himself fly again after the pass was turned down.
In Qin Xin's room, Xu Cang looked hopefully at Qin Xin who was on the phone.Seeing that Qin Xin didn't say a few words, her complexion became uneasy, and she hung up the phone before Xu Cang could intervene.
"It's finished so soon?" Xu Cang was taken aback for a moment: "What does Blue Sky Airlines say?"
Qin Xin shook her head: "No, they don't have a plane to change."
"How could there be no planes? Now that the peak season is over, there should be a lot of planes available. How could there be no planes to change?"
Xu Cang checked the recent maintenance records of 1566, but found no obvious problems.But even so, Xu Cang still had a bad feeling about the plane, thinking that if possible, he would change the plane.
In the end, she explained the situation to Qin Xin. Although Qin Xin didn't quite understand the technical terms Xu Cang said, but out of trust in Xu Cang, she still called Blue Sky Airlines and requested to change the plane.
Then what happened now, Blue Sky refused to change the plane.
Qin Xin said helplessly, "That's what they said."
"What do they say?" Xu Cang didn't believe the nonsense of those people in Blue Sky Airlines. It's obviously an off-season, so how could it be impossible to adjust the plane?
However, Qin Xin said: "It said that the bureau recently sent a message requesting the airline company to conduct a detailed inspection of the fleet aircraft one by one. It is indeed not the peak season, and the idle aircraft are undergoing special inspections and maintenance. "
"What's the matter? What kind of insanity does the bureau want to inspect the aircraft?" Xu Cang has always been open about the bureau's words.
Qin Xin is quite used to this, she glared at Xu Cang, and hummed: "It's not because of the incident of 9451. The engines all blew up, and the bureau will definitely require all airlines to conduct special inspections on the aircraft, which is very difficult Do you understand?"
"Huh? So it's still my problem to trace the source?"
Although it sounds a little outrageous, the bureau's style of treating headaches and feet is no longer a day or two.For example, when there is a problem of rejected takeoff, then in the future, all civil aviation will start learning about rejected takeoffs.Every time before the flight, the leader of the safety supervision department of the flight department has to go to the preparation room to pick up the relevant content of the interrupted takeoff, and it needs to be accurate.
Obviously the meaning is the same, but if you don't say it according to the way of expression in the manual, it is a mistake, and it seems like you are in a daze.Moreover, once this kind of phenomenon occurs, it seems that the pilot will have to rely on the theoretical knowledge of rejected takeoff for a period of time in the future, and don't care about the rest, just learn to reject takeoff.
This is the atmosphere of domestic civil aviation!Most of the time when there is a problem in civil aviation, everyone's reflection on the problem is not to improve themselves, but to cope with higher-level inspections.It's like the pilot is dealing with the company, the company is dealing with the regional administration within its jurisdiction, and the regional administration is dealing with the General Administration.
This situation is actually not obvious now, and it will become more and more serious when the time is set aside.
It is directly related to the concept of Shi Lingling's group of people who regard the pilot as an obedient tool.They feel that as long as all the details are worked out and the pilots follow the rules, there will be no major problems.
In order to allow the pilots to act within their expected framework, it is wished to stipulate whether the pilot should use the left foot or the right foot to enter the preparation room.Moreover, in order for the pilots to abide by their regulations, the penalty standards fluctuate, and they are always dealt with at the top, as if the so-called reward and punishment standards are a piece of waste paper.
In such a complex and heavy penalty environment, after a long time, the pilot's thinking is not to fly well, but to be so error-free.Compared with taking care of flight safety, more energy is spent on some meaningless activities in response to regulations.
We must know that human energy is fixed, and if too much energy is occupied by other things, it is easy to make many very low-level mistakes.This has led to a period of time in later generations. Although the General Administration is talking about safety all the time and conducting safety inspections in [-] out of [-] months of the year, the number of unsafe incidents in civil aviation has not decreased but increased. This is Top-down thinking is problematic.
Of course, it is quite reasonable to just talk about the behavior of letting airlines self-check their own aircraft because of 9451.It's just that it's still in the off-season. If it's in the peak season, the airlines will probably be in trouble again.
However, this situation is a rather understandable reason.But in this way, wouldn't he be unable to change the plane?
Seeing that Xu Cang's face was as black as the bottom of a pot, Qin Xin's mood was not high.She didn't know anything about airplanes, so she could only ask cautiously, "Is that airplane really dangerous?"
Xu Cang didn't know how to describe this problem, because from the actual inspection results, there was no problem with 1566.But from Xu Cang's intuition, he felt that the problem with this plane was hidden deeply, not without it.
However, intuition is often unreliable.It is impossible to deny the existence of an aircraft worth more than [-] million based on one's intuition.
"I'll take a look later." Xu Cang seemed to answer the question a bit out of context.However, Qin Xin could tell that Xu Cang still did not give up the idea of changing the plane.
That means that the anxiety in Xu Cang's heart exists and cannot be ignored.And anxiety will spread, especially for Qin Xin who is desperate to start a business.
Seeing Qin Xin's depression visible to the naked eye, Xu Cang hurriedly brought up the government subsidy to make Qin Xin happy.
"Do you know who I met when I went to see off the passengers just now?"
Qin Xin knew that Xu Cang used the two cars in the courtyard to send the passengers stranded at the airport to the city, but she didn't know what happened next.
Even Xu Cang felt incredible when he thought of such an unexpected harvest.He blinked and said excitedly: "I met the director of the city's Poverty Alleviation Office. He learned about our situation and told me that if the occupancy rate of the flight segment exceeds [-]%, the fuel fee for this segment will increase. It was reimbursed by the government."
"Really!" Sure enough, when Qin Xin heard the news, she immediately became overjoyed: "Are you sure it's true?"
Upon hearing such happy events, Qin Xin also felt a little unreal.
Xu Cang took out the note that Hu Ming gave him: "He left me a number, and said to contact him when he is free, to have a detailed chat, and to ask you to go too. Didn't you have some contact with the local government? Well, can you be sure if you ask me?"
"Okay, I'll ask later." Qin Xin thought about it: "Let's talk about the two trips today, if the gas money for this trip can be reimbursed, then not only will we not lose money, but we can also earn some money."
Although it seemed that the Erhai government's willingness to provide subsidies to Xu Cang and the others was a surprise, in fact Xu Cang was happy enough, and the accident was within the normal range.
In later generations, many local governments have introduced preferential policies to attract airline companies to settle in, so as to bring more outside population to the local area.Either travel or part-time jobs, anyway, can create economic benefits.
As Hu Ming said, the policy of fuel subsidy only when the occupancy rate reaches [-]% is relatively low-end. Later Xu Cang often heard that as long as the plane lands once, he can get tens of thousands, no matter how many passengers are on it. .
Some airlines can make a small fortune just by taking subsidies.However, this seemingly free behavior is actually mutually beneficial.The government is not a fool. As long as this kind of preferential policy can continue, it means that the local income will be greater than the subsidy expenditure.
Moreover, this kind of preferential policy has really driven the development of many small cities, which is a very good move.
The preferential policies given by the Erhai government are actually not big. Firstly, it is limited by the local financial situation, and secondly, they also want to wait and see.Presumably, if Xu Cang and the others develop well in the future and bring more tourism consumption to the local area, the preferential policies will not only continue, but may be even stronger.
Just like what Xu Cang said before, they are closely related to the Erhai government. Now is not the time to emphasize the distribution of benefits, but how to generate benefits.
"In the future, if you think you have time, let's meet him together. I think there will be more surprises." Xu Cang said with a smile.
Qin Xin nodded: "As soon as possible, let's implement the preferential policies as soon as possible."
"Yeah." Xu Cang patted Qin Xin on the shoulder: "Okay, if there's nothing unexpected, it's just these two days. I'm going out first, and I still have some things to ask."
"Is it about the plane? Xu Cang, is it true that the plane can't fly?"
Xu Cang said very easily: "Well, there are no problems after several inspections, and I can't tell. However, I will try my best to find a way to change the plane. I will leave this matter to you, and you don't need to worry about it. Yes. If possible, you should focus on communicating with Chunxia Tourism and let them spread out our ticket information."
Now Xu Cang and his flight tickets are indeed sold through the channel of Chunxia Travel, but the range is very limited.One of the reasons why Xu Cang is confident that he can start an airline company is that he can rely on the sales channels of Chunxia Tourism.
As an old travel agency in China, the sales channels of Spring and Summer Travel are spread all over the country like spider webs, and its intensity can be called terrifying.
"Xu Cang, you have to know that the group is willing to help us buy tickets for some friendship reasons. It is a huge investment of resources to spread our tickets to the national sales network, just because of my previous relationship with the group , is impossible.”
"I know." Xu Cang said: "I will let them see our sufficient value. Let's accumulate a little bit, and we will expand later."
Qin Xin was puzzled: "We've only just started, and we don't have the funds to expand at all."
"It's okay, as long as we do well enough during this time, funds will come in." Xu Cang said, as if everything was under his control.
Qin Xin tentatively asked: "Xu Cang, you are not going to borrow money from the bank, are you? Besides, civil aviation is different from other industries. Aircraft, air routes, and personnel all need to be matched. Without any one, it will not produce benefits. The personnel and the aircraft are fine, and there is some effect in spending money hard, but the flight route needs to be approved one at a time, so we can’t use money to bribe the people in the General Administration, right?”
"No, no, I can't say that." Xu Cang quickly waved his hand and said, "However, among other things, I am sure that the route will be expanded in the near future, but more money will be invested in wet lease of aircraft and personnel."
"Where did you get the route from?"
Xu Cang smiled slightly: "Don't worry, we are all going through regular channels. Let's not talk about it, let's divide the work. You are responsible for your old company. I am responsible for the route!"
Although she didn't know where Xu Cang's confidence came from, Qin Xin still complied.Since the establishment of the Erhai base, Xu Cang has helped solve all the difficulties, and he has to contribute.
The line of spring and summer tourism is difficult to handle, but it is not impossible.
After leaving Qin Xin's room, Xu Cang went downstairs, walked out of the yard, and sat on a big rock at the door.Today's weather is very good, as long as you look up a little, you can see the terminal building of Erhai Airport standing quietly on the slope.
After being out of his mind for a while, Xu Cang called Luo Yong.Although Qin Xin had asked Blue Sky Airlines for their opinion just now, Xu Cang felt that he still had to confirm the change.
Soon the call was connected, and Xu Cang said politely, "Hello, Mr. Luo."
"Xu Cang, why did you call suddenly?"
Xu Cang didn't beat around the bush, and cut straight to the point: "Mr. Luo, did you handle the plane assigned to us?"
"No, it's up to the marketing department to decide which plane to send, and our flight department doesn't care about it." Luo Yong felt a trace of strangeness in Xu Cang's tone: "Is there a problem with the plane?"
Xu Cang's expression didn't change much, Luo Yong's words were similar to what he expected.To be reasonable, Luo Yong has suffered repeatedly in Xu Cang's hands, but anyone with a normal mind would not intentionally disgust Xu Cang.Moreover, according to Xu Cang's experience, it seems that this kind of matter is indeed decided by the marketing department, and the flight department will at most give appropriate technical advice when needed.
And when Qin Xin communicated with Blue Sky Airlines just now, the call was made to the marketing department, but was quickly rejected.
"I don't know if there is any problem with the plane. I only know that the plane number is 1566."
"1566?" Luo Yong reacted, and quickly thought of the meaning of this aircraft number: "Is that aircraft whose nose is raised abnormally?"
Previously, Xu Cang went to Yu Fengtian recklessly hoping to thoroughly investigate the 1566 aircraft problem. In the end, Yu Fengtian not only ignored it, but also issued a special document, asking the grassroots employees not to allow cross-departmental reporting of the incident.
For this reason, some good-natured people also defined Xu Cang as a meddlesome person.
Xu Cang smiled and said, "Mr. Luo still remembers it. That's easy to talk about. What should we do now? Do you want us to fly this plane?"
"This." Luo Yong didn't know how to answer for a while.The point is that he has no right to intervene in this matter.He is the person in charge of operating the system, but has no ability to manage which aircraft are sent out.
Ultimately, which aircraft to send depends on cost factors.After calculating the cost, the marketing department said that dispatching the 1566 aircraft would bring the highest economic benefits, and that was the decisive opinion.
Xu Cangguang could roughly imagine how entangled Luo Yong's expression was at the moment just by hearing Luo Yong's hesitant voice.He simply cut to the chase: "So, do you know why the people in the marketing department make things difficult for us?"
"No, no, how could the marketing department make things difficult for you?" Luo Yong said hastily.
Xu Cang smiled and said: "We are not children, and if some things are not revealed, it does not mean that they will not happen. The two of us will spread the matter out, and I will not spread it around. Mr. Luo, what are you afraid of?"
Xu Cang has already talked about this, and Luo Yong can't hide it anymore: "Xu Cang, the price of your Erhai-Yangcheng air ticket is more than 500, right?"
"Ah, what's wrong?"
"Let me tell you, it's a bad rule for you to do this. You set the air ticket price so low, isn't it a slap in the face? The key is now that you are attached to our company name, which will indirectly lower our brand quality." Low, of course the people in the marketing department have a problem with you." Luo Yong finally told the truth: "Xu Cang, if you had raised the air ticket price, there wouldn't be so much trouble. Look, since the bureau After the air ticket price control is lifted, which airline company will take the initiative to lower the price, no! Everyone has a tacit understanding, you are ignorant, and you will suffer in the future."
Hearing what Luo Yong said, Xu Cang's mood didn't fluctuate in the slightest.In fact, just now Qin Xin said that the reason why she couldn't adjust the plane was that the idle planes were all inspected and maintained.But as long as it's not that kind of overhaul, the time usually doesn't last very long, even if it's delayed for a few days, it can be adjusted anyway.If you say with certainty that you can't adjust it, then you don't want to adjust it.
Xu Cang understood what Luo Yong meant, or to be precise, Xu Cang had felt it before.Civil aviation practitioners in this era are gods who drink dew and eat wind, and can't eat fireworks in the world at all.It is said that making money is not shabby, but they think it is a shabby thing to make money from poorer people, as if the money of the lower class has a low-end atmosphere.
Not only do they think so, but they are also afraid that their colleagues don't think so.Therefore, after the bureau released the price control of air tickets, the bureau originally intended to allow airlines to have greater pricing autonomy, in order to expand civil aviation to all classes, rather than the mainstream travel mode exclusively for the upper class.
However, the airlines are all putting on airs, and they have no plans to put down their airs.
Of course, airlines are not completely ignorant of the profit margins of downward development.But as Ma Cheng said before, the decline of high-end brands is very simple, but to make low-end brands high-end, it will take ten times and a hundred times of effort.
Airlines are not sure about the market, they don’t know how big the sinking market is, and whether it is necessary to give up their own brand premium to fight in it.
However, at least so far, airlines still look down on the sinking market, and Blue Sky Airlines is one of them.Now the Erhai base belongs to Blue Sky Airlines in name, and the aircraft paint is also the logo of Blue Sky Airlines.
Xu Cang sells these low-priced tickets, and after a long time, it will give people the impression that Blue Sky Airlines is cheap, which is what Blue Sky Airlines doesn't want to see anyway.
As a direct participant in brand planning, the marketing department really wanted to kill Xu Cang.
"You can't earn your hard-earned money, and you don't allow others to earn it?" Xu Cang felt ridiculous.
"There is a set of unspoken rules in society, you have to abide by them." Luo Yong simply said clearly: "Xu Cang, the marketing department is just disgusting you now. But according to the news I got, you may even 1566 can't even fly."
Xu Cang thought: "What does this mean?"
"The marketing department is very disgusted with your negative impact on the brand of Blue Sky Airlines. If you continue like this, the marketing department will apply to cut off the cooperation with you." Luo Yong advised: "Once the cooperation is cut off, 1566 will even be withdrawn."
Xu Cang's voice became colder: "Then the previous wet lease agreements are all blank?"
"The marketing department means that they would rather pay liquidated damages than terminate the cooperation. Now they are discussing whether to do so. I think it is very possible."
Xu Cang suddenly fell into silence.Although he still intends to become independent from Blue Sky Airlines, and even got the seat from Muhua Airlines and the establishment of an airline company, it does not mean that he is willing to become independent now.
The period of cooperation with Blue Sky Airlines is an extremely critical transitional period. Once this period is directly canceled, it will be a disaster for Xu Cang and the others now.
Not to mention anything else, Xu Cang and the others don't have a complete set of departments that are closely related to flight, such as dispatch, aviation medicine, transportation control, and flying marks.If this is directly cut out by Blue Sky Airlines, it will be a rootless duckweed, and it will be difficult to survive.
"Okay, I see, I will remember." Xu Cang hung up the phone directly, heaved a sigh of relief, but there was no special expression on his face.
Blue Sky Airlines wants to cut off the cooperation with them. This matter is really troublesome, but there is no room for redemption.Of course, Xu Cang would not go to Jianchuan to beg for help. If Blue Sky Airlines wants to stop the cooperation, it will stop. Now Xu Cang is not at the mercy of others.Moreover, Xu Cang felt that if Blue Sky Airlines really lost its head, it was necessary to beat it afterwards.
In the restaurant of a high-end hotel in Hanjing, Li Rongxian and Leo were dining, but the atmosphere of the meal seemed not very good, at least Li Rongxian looked very cramped.
Opposite him, the boss Leo is on the phone, speaking fluent French.Usually Leo speaks in an orderly manner, but now his speech is extremely fast, and he is a little emotional, so that Li Rongxian can't hear some words clearly.
About 5 minutes later, Leo hung up the phone and slapped the phone on the table, causing people at the table next to him to look sideways.
Li Rongxian suddenly felt bad, Leo would rarely act in such a rude manner, it can be seen that he has reached the moment of extreme anger.Under Leo's gloomy gaze, Li Rongxian really didn't dare to say a word, and the atmosphere between the two seemed strange and silent.
I don't know how long it took, maybe his anger subsided, and Leo seemed much calmer.After draining the red wine in the glass, Leo took a deep breath, and said to Li Rongxian in a deep voice, "Go and find Xu Cang yourself."
"Looking for Xu Cang, why are you looking for him?"
Leo rubbed his temples, obviously he still showed great resistance to what he was going to say next: "Didn't you tell me that the condition for Xu Cang to announce the cause of the engine explosion was the Jinmen General Assembly Plant? Okay, promise him !"
"What?" Li Rongxian really didn't expect his boss to say such a thing. Reminiscent of Leo's expression when he called just now, Li Rongxian thought of a possibility: "A decision has already been made? The project of the factory is ahead of schedule, which is a great loss to us."
Leo was obviously holding back his anger. Hearing Li Rongxian's words, he subconsciously wanted to beat the table to vent his anger.But the moment his fist was about to hit the table, he still controlled it and drooped weakly: "He only said that within three years, although it is troublesome, there is still time to buffer and the loss can be greatly reduced. The decision has been made Yes, I will send someone to resume negotiations with AVIC in the near future. Go to Xu Cang and talk to him face to face. Remember, this is a matter that has been decided. Don’t have any personal emotions. Tell Xu Cang about his decision, and then get the reason for the engine explosion from Xu Cang, and finally put the incident to rest."
Li Rongxian just felt bored all over his body, he couldn't figure out how Tangtang Airbus would be played around by a brat.It doesn't help that the leaders of Jinmen City and the high-level executives of AVIC are all talkative about how big the project of Jinmen General Assembly Plant is, but Xu Cang just let Airbus compromise.
This dealt a huge blow to Li Rongxian's self-esteem.
"Without him, wouldn't we be able to find out the reason?" Li Rongxian shouted.
"The engine exploded, and the parts were scattered everywhere. It takes time to find the cause without a goal. Many accident investigations take years at every turn. How long do you think we can wait? Time is wasted?" Leo said He was always gnashing his teeth, why didn't he feel aggrieved, but what could he do?
"Did you know? This is a very important civil aviation market in the world, and its every move will radiate to the surrounding area." Leo continued: "Not long ago, Japan and South Korea have formally submitted consultation letters to our company, requesting a reply regarding Flight 9451. The cause of the engine explosion. How do you say we reply? If there is no reply, will JCAB and SRAA follow the CAAC’s grounding of the Airbus 320? Do you think it is possible?”
Li Rongxian lowered his head, he didn't speak, and he didn't dare to speak, but he knew that this possibility was absolutely possible.
If CAAC, JCAB, and SRAA issue relevant no-fly orders at the same time, it is estimated that other civil aviation administrations in East Asia will follow suit, and the consequences will be unimaginable.
"Also! CFM not long ago clearly expressed its willingness to ask our company to resolve the 9451 incident as soon as possible."
Now Li Rongxian was really startled: "Why does CFM company get involved?"
"The problem is the Airbus 56 equipped with CFM320. The no-flying order has no restrictions on the 2500 equipped with V320. After the no-flying order was issued, many customers have requested to modify the power system to V2500. You said What are they doing?" Leo asked back: "And, as far as CFM knows, IAE contacted Xu Cang privately."
"What!" Li Rongxian couldn't hold back anymore, and stood up immediately: "What does IAE mean?"
Leo signaled Li Rongxian to sit down, and sneered, "Don't you understand? Take this opportunity to disgust CFM, colleagues are enemies, and if they don't make trouble, are they still enemies?"
Even though Leo is a foreigner, he seems to have a good understanding of domestic culture, and the taste of speaking is quite good.
Li Rongxian sat down angrily: "Xu Cang has reached an agreement with us and will not disclose the relevant content."
"If we can give Xu Cang money, the IAE won't. Do they have no money?"
"Then the IAE broke the rules, why don't we settle accounts with them?" Li Rongxian was furious.
Although IAE's behavior was definitely aimed at CFM, it also stabbed Airbus invisibly. How could Li Rongxian not be angry?
Leo waved his hand: "Let's settle the score with the IAE company!"
"Why forget it, they are not the only aero engine manufacturers."
"But the Airbus 380 project has been approved, and the engine used is Rolls-Royce's Trent 900 engine. Have you forgotten that Rolls-Royce is the second shareholder of IAE?" Leo explained: "The basic framework of the Airbus 380 has been released. The power system can’t be changed anymore. If you have trouble with Luo Luo because of the IAE matter, it’s a small loss that makes a lot of money.”
“380的动力系统不是还有Engine Alliance的GP7200做备选嘛,有必要就在遄达900上吊死?GP7200的内核机用的是通用GE90的,跟IAE又扯不上关系。”
Leo glared at Li Rongxian: "But the turbofan and low-pressure compressor of GP7200 are from Pratt & Whitney and Luoluo. Those are the big boss and second boss of IAE, do you understand?"
The relationships among the aero-engine manufacturers in the world are intricate. If you do a little fiddling, you will have to involve a lot of relationships. That's why Airbus dare not really touch the IAE, not to mention that the weakness of the Airbus 380 has been given by others. Hold on, how can you move around at will?
Li Rongxian cursed in a low voice, and after a long delay, he said softly: "I see, I will leave for Jianchuan tomorrow."
"No, it's better to leave tonight." Leo added: "We have already notified AVIC, Xu Cang will get the news soon, don't keep him waiting."
Li Rongxian exhaled a long breath, but his voice trembled a little, and his face was irritable.
Perhaps to appease Li Rongxian, Leo said: "Boeing has stumbled on the 777 project. Even if the 777 is airworthy in the future, it can be verified that the twists and turns in the flight will reduce customers' confidence in the 777. At least for a period of time in the future, our The 330 can still remain strong. As long as the 380 is successfully produced, it will be able to compete with the Boeing 747. In the field of wide-body aircraft, Boeing is no longer an advantage. Now is a critical moment, don’t lose the big because of small things.”
Li Rongxian lowered his head slowly, and said emphatically, "Got it!"
On the apron of Yangcheng Airport in the early morning of the next day, Xu Cang yawned and got off the plane, wearing a reflective vest and going down to refuel.
It was already past nine o'clock, and the Yangcheng Airport was still chilly, which made Xu Cang's body tremble uncontrollably.
After telling the fueler about the amount of oil, Xu Cang felt the phone vibrating in his pocket.After walking to a distance and keeping a safe enough distance, he took out his mobile phone and saw that it was Chen Jinwu's call.
Xu Cang didn't think too much, and got connected smoothly. Before he could speak, Chen Jinwu's extremely excited voice came from the opposite side: "Xu Cang, Xu Cang, how did you do it? Airbus While saying that they intend to advance the project of the General Assembly Plant in Jinmen, they said three years, and the project will be implemented within three years!"
Xu Cang was stunned for a moment, but he quickly realized that Airbus compromised faster than expected.
"It's a good thing!" Xu Cang didn't say much, "It went smoother than I imagined."
"How did you do it? The Airbus gang is too difficult to talk about. Why did you let go?" Although it was only two or three years earlier, it was already a huge surprise for Chen Jinwu.He was just eager to know how Xu Cang managed Airbus.
Xu Cang was not very willing to tell Chen Jinwu about some things, so he casually said: "Is it difficult for Airbus to talk, I think they are quite easy to talk to?"
"You little baby!" Of course Chen Jinwu knew that Xu Cang was talking nonsense, but he didn't ask any further questions. Everyone has their own means, so there's no need to pursue everything to the end.As soon as the subject changed, Chen Jinwu got down to business: "I'm calling you this time, firstly to tell you the good news, and also because we agreed before, you've done the job, what do you want?"
Xu Cang thought for a while, this time he didn't refuse, and organized his words a little bit: "Old Chen, this matter is a bit complicated, please listen to me to explain slowly."
As he said that, Xu Cang briefly talked about everything from meeting Shi Lingling, to the deprivation of his title by the meritorious pilot headed by Wang Baotian, and to encountering 9451. After that, he also mentioned the matter of the Commissioner of the International Civil Aviation Organization. .
If it was someone else, Xu Cang might hesitate to be honest, after all, he has selfishness in this matter.But Chen Jinwu is different, this is a sincere and trustworthy person, Xu Cang believes that Mr. Chen can understand his difficulties.
On the other end of the phone, Chen Jinwu digested what Xu Cang said for a while, and he quickly understood Xu Cang's appeal, and confirmed: "Xu Cang, what do you mean you need the support of the Director of the Policy and Regulations Department of the General Administration? Bar?"
Xu Cang admitted it very naturally: "That's what it means, Mr. Chen!"
"I understand. You are high-minded, you don't want to be bound by other people, and you want to be free, I can understand." Chen Jinwu said quietly: "Don't worry, since I promised you, then this matter will be covered. It's on me. After the Jinmen General Assembly Plant project is implemented, I, as a representative of AVIC, will definitely go to Hanking. At that time, the director of the Policy and Regulations Department will definitely come over, and I will find time to mention it to him. a bit."
Xu Cang hurriedly reminded: "Mr. Chen, I heard that the director of the Policy and Regulations Department is a bit stubborn, so when you mention me, please polish it a little."
If you just tell the director of the Department of Policy and Regulations your thoughts truthfully, it will always seem too purposeful and may cause discomfort.Therefore, the rhetoric needs to be slightly modified.
"Understood, understood! Don't worry, little friend, I still know this bit of speaking skills, and I will definitely handle it for you." Chen Jinwu laughed.
"Then please trouble Mr. Chen." Xu Cang thought for a while: "Mr. Chen, if you can meet the director of the Transportation Department of the General Administration, remember to say something nice for me in front of him, I will be grateful!"
Chen Jinwu was puzzled: "What relationship do you have with the Transportation Department?"
Xu Cang didn't hide it: "Boy, I got a small airline company, and I figured that if I want to apply for a route in the future, I have to make a good impression on the heart of the director of the transportation department. It may be helpful for the route approval in the future."
The transportation department is mainly in charge of the route approval in the Bureau. Anyway, keep a good impression first, regardless of whether it is useful or not.
"You really have a lot of thoughts, kid, I remember it." Chen Jinwu didn't care much about Xu Cang's request, and it wasn't a big deal anyway: "As for the additional remuneration that will be given to you after the completion of the Jinmen General Assembly Factory, my preliminary The idea is to take out a part of the income from the general assembly plant and send it to you on a regular basis as a dividend. However, how to do this needs to be discussed, and I can’t decide on my own.”
"And dividends?" This was a real surprise, and Xu Cang never thought about it from the beginning.
"Of course, I'll tell you when it's settled later. You put in so much effort, it's nothing to get a profit share." Chen Jinwu said with a smile: "Okay, I won't bother you, you are busy, hang up !"
After Chen Jinwu hung up the phone, Xu Cang put away the phone with a smile, as if he was keeping up with honey in his heart.Although there have been some bad things recently, there are more good things in the end.
"Could it be that I'm about to turn around?"
Xu Cang took the fuel slip and boarded the plane, went into the cockpit to clamp the fuel slip, and sat in the right seat by himself.Since the last flight, Xu Cang slept almost twice, so Xu Cang was seated at the beginning of today's flight.
"Come on and be so happy?" Mo Shangyun just saw Xu Cang's smirk, and felt that something happened: "What happened, let's tell everyone how happy it is?"
Where can I say this, Xu Cang quickly waved his hand: "It's okay, I'm just silly. Oh, I'm here, I'm here, let's not talk about it, work!"
Seeing that Xu Cang refused to say anything, Mo Shangyun didn't press the question, but asked another question: "Will you come to take off later?"
"Huh? Teacher, are you tired?" Xu Cang asked while adjusting the frequency of release.
Mo Shangyun directly laughed angrily: "You are really lazy, I can't let you fly if I'm not tired, so I deserve to fly all by myself?"
Xu Cang scratched his head embarrassingly. He really started to be lazy instinctively. When he saw Mo Shangyun getting angry, he immediately put on a smiling face: "Teacher, don't worry, I'll fly, I can't fly."
With that said, Xu Cang smoothly switched the main switch of F/D to his side.
"However, if it's 1566, the plane's head is going up abnormally, so we still have to be careful." Instructor Mo warned.
Xu Cang pulled the steering wheel casually: "I checked the records of the plane in front of me, and there is nothing wrong with it. I don't think I'm so unlucky. I can still encounter a small probability incident, so it's not the plane's problem, but also It's not my problem, it's God's problem."
Teacher Mo was amused: "I think you have to go to the temple to burn incense and get rid of bad luck. It's quite necessary. Do you think this makes sense, Xu Cang?"
Just when Xu Cang pulled the steering wheel a little casually, it was obviously only a small movement, but outside the plane, the elevator of the plane produced a very obvious stroke movement.
The change of the elevator could not match the movement of Xu Cang's steering wheel at all.But Xu Cang was completely unaware of the change of the elevator in the cockpit.
PS——Looking at how hardworking I am in the latest update, everyone secretly steals the monthly pass and is almost out of food!
(End of this chapter)
On the second day after Xu Cang's rebirth, because of his bad behavior in the early stage, Blue Sky Airlines conducted a route evaluation on Xu Cang.If the result of the route assessment is barely acceptable, the company will continue to give him opportunities, and if the result is too bad, he will be forced to transfer to a ground position.
Instructor Wang Qiang was the inspector in charge of route evaluation at that time, and it turned out that Xu Cang had no problems in the oral test, and even surprised Instructor Wang Qiang a little bit, but in the later practice flight, during take-off, Xu Cang actually put the The plane had to wipe the tail.
Afterwards, if Xu Cang hadn't accidentally solved the problem of Feiyu Aviation's twin engine flameouts, he would have switched to a ground position or other occupations long ago.
At that time, the plane that Xu Cang wiped the tail was 1566. At that time, Xu Cang felt that there was something wrong with this plane.However, at first, most people just thought that Xu Cang was looking for reasons for his operational mistakes, until later Xu Cang flew to 1566 during a certain flight, and the captain also encountered the problem of abnormal nose-up. It was extremely thrilling.However, fortunately, the process was a bit scary, but nothing major happened after all.
In view of this later, Blue Sky Airlines did check 1566.It's just that I didn't find any problems later.As a result, Xu Cang had a conflict with Yu Fengtian, then vice president of maintenance, over whether 1566 should undergo a D inspection.
In order to solve the problem of the 1566 aircraft, Xu Cang even submitted a compromise plan, but in the end, there was no follow-up news.
For this plane, Xu Cang was exhausted physically and mentally, so he didn't care about it afterward and let it develop.
Unexpectedly, 1566 let himself fly again after the pass was turned down.
In Qin Xin's room, Xu Cang looked hopefully at Qin Xin who was on the phone.Seeing that Qin Xin didn't say a few words, her complexion became uneasy, and she hung up the phone before Xu Cang could intervene.
"It's finished so soon?" Xu Cang was taken aback for a moment: "What does Blue Sky Airlines say?"
Qin Xin shook her head: "No, they don't have a plane to change."
"How could there be no planes? Now that the peak season is over, there should be a lot of planes available. How could there be no planes to change?"
Xu Cang checked the recent maintenance records of 1566, but found no obvious problems.But even so, Xu Cang still had a bad feeling about the plane, thinking that if possible, he would change the plane.
In the end, she explained the situation to Qin Xin. Although Qin Xin didn't quite understand the technical terms Xu Cang said, but out of trust in Xu Cang, she still called Blue Sky Airlines and requested to change the plane.
Then what happened now, Blue Sky refused to change the plane.
Qin Xin said helplessly, "That's what they said."
"What do they say?" Xu Cang didn't believe the nonsense of those people in Blue Sky Airlines. It's obviously an off-season, so how could it be impossible to adjust the plane?
However, Qin Xin said: "It said that the bureau recently sent a message requesting the airline company to conduct a detailed inspection of the fleet aircraft one by one. It is indeed not the peak season, and the idle aircraft are undergoing special inspections and maintenance. "
"What's the matter? What kind of insanity does the bureau want to inspect the aircraft?" Xu Cang has always been open about the bureau's words.
Qin Xin is quite used to this, she glared at Xu Cang, and hummed: "It's not because of the incident of 9451. The engines all blew up, and the bureau will definitely require all airlines to conduct special inspections on the aircraft, which is very difficult Do you understand?"
"Huh? So it's still my problem to trace the source?"
Although it sounds a little outrageous, the bureau's style of treating headaches and feet is no longer a day or two.For example, when there is a problem of rejected takeoff, then in the future, all civil aviation will start learning about rejected takeoffs.Every time before the flight, the leader of the safety supervision department of the flight department has to go to the preparation room to pick up the relevant content of the interrupted takeoff, and it needs to be accurate.
Obviously the meaning is the same, but if you don't say it according to the way of expression in the manual, it is a mistake, and it seems like you are in a daze.Moreover, once this kind of phenomenon occurs, it seems that the pilot will have to rely on the theoretical knowledge of rejected takeoff for a period of time in the future, and don't care about the rest, just learn to reject takeoff.
This is the atmosphere of domestic civil aviation!Most of the time when there is a problem in civil aviation, everyone's reflection on the problem is not to improve themselves, but to cope with higher-level inspections.It's like the pilot is dealing with the company, the company is dealing with the regional administration within its jurisdiction, and the regional administration is dealing with the General Administration.
This situation is actually not obvious now, and it will become more and more serious when the time is set aside.
It is directly related to the concept of Shi Lingling's group of people who regard the pilot as an obedient tool.They feel that as long as all the details are worked out and the pilots follow the rules, there will be no major problems.
In order to allow the pilots to act within their expected framework, it is wished to stipulate whether the pilot should use the left foot or the right foot to enter the preparation room.Moreover, in order for the pilots to abide by their regulations, the penalty standards fluctuate, and they are always dealt with at the top, as if the so-called reward and punishment standards are a piece of waste paper.
In such a complex and heavy penalty environment, after a long time, the pilot's thinking is not to fly well, but to be so error-free.Compared with taking care of flight safety, more energy is spent on some meaningless activities in response to regulations.
We must know that human energy is fixed, and if too much energy is occupied by other things, it is easy to make many very low-level mistakes.This has led to a period of time in later generations. Although the General Administration is talking about safety all the time and conducting safety inspections in [-] out of [-] months of the year, the number of unsafe incidents in civil aviation has not decreased but increased. This is Top-down thinking is problematic.
Of course, it is quite reasonable to just talk about the behavior of letting airlines self-check their own aircraft because of 9451.It's just that it's still in the off-season. If it's in the peak season, the airlines will probably be in trouble again.
However, this situation is a rather understandable reason.But in this way, wouldn't he be unable to change the plane?
Seeing that Xu Cang's face was as black as the bottom of a pot, Qin Xin's mood was not high.She didn't know anything about airplanes, so she could only ask cautiously, "Is that airplane really dangerous?"
Xu Cang didn't know how to describe this problem, because from the actual inspection results, there was no problem with 1566.But from Xu Cang's intuition, he felt that the problem with this plane was hidden deeply, not without it.
However, intuition is often unreliable.It is impossible to deny the existence of an aircraft worth more than [-] million based on one's intuition.
"I'll take a look later." Xu Cang seemed to answer the question a bit out of context.However, Qin Xin could tell that Xu Cang still did not give up the idea of changing the plane.
That means that the anxiety in Xu Cang's heart exists and cannot be ignored.And anxiety will spread, especially for Qin Xin who is desperate to start a business.
Seeing Qin Xin's depression visible to the naked eye, Xu Cang hurriedly brought up the government subsidy to make Qin Xin happy.
"Do you know who I met when I went to see off the passengers just now?"
Qin Xin knew that Xu Cang used the two cars in the courtyard to send the passengers stranded at the airport to the city, but she didn't know what happened next.
Even Xu Cang felt incredible when he thought of such an unexpected harvest.He blinked and said excitedly: "I met the director of the city's Poverty Alleviation Office. He learned about our situation and told me that if the occupancy rate of the flight segment exceeds [-]%, the fuel fee for this segment will increase. It was reimbursed by the government."
"Really!" Sure enough, when Qin Xin heard the news, she immediately became overjoyed: "Are you sure it's true?"
Upon hearing such happy events, Qin Xin also felt a little unreal.
Xu Cang took out the note that Hu Ming gave him: "He left me a number, and said to contact him when he is free, to have a detailed chat, and to ask you to go too. Didn't you have some contact with the local government? Well, can you be sure if you ask me?"
"Okay, I'll ask later." Qin Xin thought about it: "Let's talk about the two trips today, if the gas money for this trip can be reimbursed, then not only will we not lose money, but we can also earn some money."
Although it seemed that the Erhai government's willingness to provide subsidies to Xu Cang and the others was a surprise, in fact Xu Cang was happy enough, and the accident was within the normal range.
In later generations, many local governments have introduced preferential policies to attract airline companies to settle in, so as to bring more outside population to the local area.Either travel or part-time jobs, anyway, can create economic benefits.
As Hu Ming said, the policy of fuel subsidy only when the occupancy rate reaches [-]% is relatively low-end. Later Xu Cang often heard that as long as the plane lands once, he can get tens of thousands, no matter how many passengers are on it. .
Some airlines can make a small fortune just by taking subsidies.However, this seemingly free behavior is actually mutually beneficial.The government is not a fool. As long as this kind of preferential policy can continue, it means that the local income will be greater than the subsidy expenditure.
Moreover, this kind of preferential policy has really driven the development of many small cities, which is a very good move.
The preferential policies given by the Erhai government are actually not big. Firstly, it is limited by the local financial situation, and secondly, they also want to wait and see.Presumably, if Xu Cang and the others develop well in the future and bring more tourism consumption to the local area, the preferential policies will not only continue, but may be even stronger.
Just like what Xu Cang said before, they are closely related to the Erhai government. Now is not the time to emphasize the distribution of benefits, but how to generate benefits.
"In the future, if you think you have time, let's meet him together. I think there will be more surprises." Xu Cang said with a smile.
Qin Xin nodded: "As soon as possible, let's implement the preferential policies as soon as possible."
"Yeah." Xu Cang patted Qin Xin on the shoulder: "Okay, if there's nothing unexpected, it's just these two days. I'm going out first, and I still have some things to ask."
"Is it about the plane? Xu Cang, is it true that the plane can't fly?"
Xu Cang said very easily: "Well, there are no problems after several inspections, and I can't tell. However, I will try my best to find a way to change the plane. I will leave this matter to you, and you don't need to worry about it. Yes. If possible, you should focus on communicating with Chunxia Tourism and let them spread out our ticket information."
Now Xu Cang and his flight tickets are indeed sold through the channel of Chunxia Travel, but the range is very limited.One of the reasons why Xu Cang is confident that he can start an airline company is that he can rely on the sales channels of Chunxia Tourism.
As an old travel agency in China, the sales channels of Spring and Summer Travel are spread all over the country like spider webs, and its intensity can be called terrifying.
"Xu Cang, you have to know that the group is willing to help us buy tickets for some friendship reasons. It is a huge investment of resources to spread our tickets to the national sales network, just because of my previous relationship with the group , is impossible.”
"I know." Xu Cang said: "I will let them see our sufficient value. Let's accumulate a little bit, and we will expand later."
Qin Xin was puzzled: "We've only just started, and we don't have the funds to expand at all."
"It's okay, as long as we do well enough during this time, funds will come in." Xu Cang said, as if everything was under his control.
Qin Xin tentatively asked: "Xu Cang, you are not going to borrow money from the bank, are you? Besides, civil aviation is different from other industries. Aircraft, air routes, and personnel all need to be matched. Without any one, it will not produce benefits. The personnel and the aircraft are fine, and there is some effect in spending money hard, but the flight route needs to be approved one at a time, so we can’t use money to bribe the people in the General Administration, right?”
"No, no, I can't say that." Xu Cang quickly waved his hand and said, "However, among other things, I am sure that the route will be expanded in the near future, but more money will be invested in wet lease of aircraft and personnel."
"Where did you get the route from?"
Xu Cang smiled slightly: "Don't worry, we are all going through regular channels. Let's not talk about it, let's divide the work. You are responsible for your old company. I am responsible for the route!"
Although she didn't know where Xu Cang's confidence came from, Qin Xin still complied.Since the establishment of the Erhai base, Xu Cang has helped solve all the difficulties, and he has to contribute.
The line of spring and summer tourism is difficult to handle, but it is not impossible.
After leaving Qin Xin's room, Xu Cang went downstairs, walked out of the yard, and sat on a big rock at the door.Today's weather is very good, as long as you look up a little, you can see the terminal building of Erhai Airport standing quietly on the slope.
After being out of his mind for a while, Xu Cang called Luo Yong.Although Qin Xin had asked Blue Sky Airlines for their opinion just now, Xu Cang felt that he still had to confirm the change.
Soon the call was connected, and Xu Cang said politely, "Hello, Mr. Luo."
"Xu Cang, why did you call suddenly?"
Xu Cang didn't beat around the bush, and cut straight to the point: "Mr. Luo, did you handle the plane assigned to us?"
"No, it's up to the marketing department to decide which plane to send, and our flight department doesn't care about it." Luo Yong felt a trace of strangeness in Xu Cang's tone: "Is there a problem with the plane?"
Xu Cang's expression didn't change much, Luo Yong's words were similar to what he expected.To be reasonable, Luo Yong has suffered repeatedly in Xu Cang's hands, but anyone with a normal mind would not intentionally disgust Xu Cang.Moreover, according to Xu Cang's experience, it seems that this kind of matter is indeed decided by the marketing department, and the flight department will at most give appropriate technical advice when needed.
And when Qin Xin communicated with Blue Sky Airlines just now, the call was made to the marketing department, but was quickly rejected.
"I don't know if there is any problem with the plane. I only know that the plane number is 1566."
"1566?" Luo Yong reacted, and quickly thought of the meaning of this aircraft number: "Is that aircraft whose nose is raised abnormally?"
Previously, Xu Cang went to Yu Fengtian recklessly hoping to thoroughly investigate the 1566 aircraft problem. In the end, Yu Fengtian not only ignored it, but also issued a special document, asking the grassroots employees not to allow cross-departmental reporting of the incident.
For this reason, some good-natured people also defined Xu Cang as a meddlesome person.
Xu Cang smiled and said, "Mr. Luo still remembers it. That's easy to talk about. What should we do now? Do you want us to fly this plane?"
"This." Luo Yong didn't know how to answer for a while.The point is that he has no right to intervene in this matter.He is the person in charge of operating the system, but has no ability to manage which aircraft are sent out.
Ultimately, which aircraft to send depends on cost factors.After calculating the cost, the marketing department said that dispatching the 1566 aircraft would bring the highest economic benefits, and that was the decisive opinion.
Xu Cangguang could roughly imagine how entangled Luo Yong's expression was at the moment just by hearing Luo Yong's hesitant voice.He simply cut to the chase: "So, do you know why the people in the marketing department make things difficult for us?"
"No, no, how could the marketing department make things difficult for you?" Luo Yong said hastily.
Xu Cang smiled and said: "We are not children, and if some things are not revealed, it does not mean that they will not happen. The two of us will spread the matter out, and I will not spread it around. Mr. Luo, what are you afraid of?"
Xu Cang has already talked about this, and Luo Yong can't hide it anymore: "Xu Cang, the price of your Erhai-Yangcheng air ticket is more than 500, right?"
"Ah, what's wrong?"
"Let me tell you, it's a bad rule for you to do this. You set the air ticket price so low, isn't it a slap in the face? The key is now that you are attached to our company name, which will indirectly lower our brand quality." Low, of course the people in the marketing department have a problem with you." Luo Yong finally told the truth: "Xu Cang, if you had raised the air ticket price, there wouldn't be so much trouble. Look, since the bureau After the air ticket price control is lifted, which airline company will take the initiative to lower the price, no! Everyone has a tacit understanding, you are ignorant, and you will suffer in the future."
Hearing what Luo Yong said, Xu Cang's mood didn't fluctuate in the slightest.In fact, just now Qin Xin said that the reason why she couldn't adjust the plane was that the idle planes were all inspected and maintained.But as long as it's not that kind of overhaul, the time usually doesn't last very long, even if it's delayed for a few days, it can be adjusted anyway.If you say with certainty that you can't adjust it, then you don't want to adjust it.
Xu Cang understood what Luo Yong meant, or to be precise, Xu Cang had felt it before.Civil aviation practitioners in this era are gods who drink dew and eat wind, and can't eat fireworks in the world at all.It is said that making money is not shabby, but they think it is a shabby thing to make money from poorer people, as if the money of the lower class has a low-end atmosphere.
Not only do they think so, but they are also afraid that their colleagues don't think so.Therefore, after the bureau released the price control of air tickets, the bureau originally intended to allow airlines to have greater pricing autonomy, in order to expand civil aviation to all classes, rather than the mainstream travel mode exclusively for the upper class.
However, the airlines are all putting on airs, and they have no plans to put down their airs.
Of course, airlines are not completely ignorant of the profit margins of downward development.But as Ma Cheng said before, the decline of high-end brands is very simple, but to make low-end brands high-end, it will take ten times and a hundred times of effort.
Airlines are not sure about the market, they don’t know how big the sinking market is, and whether it is necessary to give up their own brand premium to fight in it.
However, at least so far, airlines still look down on the sinking market, and Blue Sky Airlines is one of them.Now the Erhai base belongs to Blue Sky Airlines in name, and the aircraft paint is also the logo of Blue Sky Airlines.
Xu Cang sells these low-priced tickets, and after a long time, it will give people the impression that Blue Sky Airlines is cheap, which is what Blue Sky Airlines doesn't want to see anyway.
As a direct participant in brand planning, the marketing department really wanted to kill Xu Cang.
"You can't earn your hard-earned money, and you don't allow others to earn it?" Xu Cang felt ridiculous.
"There is a set of unspoken rules in society, you have to abide by them." Luo Yong simply said clearly: "Xu Cang, the marketing department is just disgusting you now. But according to the news I got, you may even 1566 can't even fly."
Xu Cang thought: "What does this mean?"
"The marketing department is very disgusted with your negative impact on the brand of Blue Sky Airlines. If you continue like this, the marketing department will apply to cut off the cooperation with you." Luo Yong advised: "Once the cooperation is cut off, 1566 will even be withdrawn."
Xu Cang's voice became colder: "Then the previous wet lease agreements are all blank?"
"The marketing department means that they would rather pay liquidated damages than terminate the cooperation. Now they are discussing whether to do so. I think it is very possible."
Xu Cang suddenly fell into silence.Although he still intends to become independent from Blue Sky Airlines, and even got the seat from Muhua Airlines and the establishment of an airline company, it does not mean that he is willing to become independent now.
The period of cooperation with Blue Sky Airlines is an extremely critical transitional period. Once this period is directly canceled, it will be a disaster for Xu Cang and the others now.
Not to mention anything else, Xu Cang and the others don't have a complete set of departments that are closely related to flight, such as dispatch, aviation medicine, transportation control, and flying marks.If this is directly cut out by Blue Sky Airlines, it will be a rootless duckweed, and it will be difficult to survive.
"Okay, I see, I will remember." Xu Cang hung up the phone directly, heaved a sigh of relief, but there was no special expression on his face.
Blue Sky Airlines wants to cut off the cooperation with them. This matter is really troublesome, but there is no room for redemption.Of course, Xu Cang would not go to Jianchuan to beg for help. If Blue Sky Airlines wants to stop the cooperation, it will stop. Now Xu Cang is not at the mercy of others.Moreover, Xu Cang felt that if Blue Sky Airlines really lost its head, it was necessary to beat it afterwards.
In the restaurant of a high-end hotel in Hanjing, Li Rongxian and Leo were dining, but the atmosphere of the meal seemed not very good, at least Li Rongxian looked very cramped.
Opposite him, the boss Leo is on the phone, speaking fluent French.Usually Leo speaks in an orderly manner, but now his speech is extremely fast, and he is a little emotional, so that Li Rongxian can't hear some words clearly.
About 5 minutes later, Leo hung up the phone and slapped the phone on the table, causing people at the table next to him to look sideways.
Li Rongxian suddenly felt bad, Leo would rarely act in such a rude manner, it can be seen that he has reached the moment of extreme anger.Under Leo's gloomy gaze, Li Rongxian really didn't dare to say a word, and the atmosphere between the two seemed strange and silent.
I don't know how long it took, maybe his anger subsided, and Leo seemed much calmer.After draining the red wine in the glass, Leo took a deep breath, and said to Li Rongxian in a deep voice, "Go and find Xu Cang yourself."
"Looking for Xu Cang, why are you looking for him?"
Leo rubbed his temples, obviously he still showed great resistance to what he was going to say next: "Didn't you tell me that the condition for Xu Cang to announce the cause of the engine explosion was the Jinmen General Assembly Plant? Okay, promise him !"
"What?" Li Rongxian really didn't expect his boss to say such a thing. Reminiscent of Leo's expression when he called just now, Li Rongxian thought of a possibility: "A decision has already been made? The project of the factory is ahead of schedule, which is a great loss to us."
Leo was obviously holding back his anger. Hearing Li Rongxian's words, he subconsciously wanted to beat the table to vent his anger.But the moment his fist was about to hit the table, he still controlled it and drooped weakly: "He only said that within three years, although it is troublesome, there is still time to buffer and the loss can be greatly reduced. The decision has been made Yes, I will send someone to resume negotiations with AVIC in the near future. Go to Xu Cang and talk to him face to face. Remember, this is a matter that has been decided. Don’t have any personal emotions. Tell Xu Cang about his decision, and then get the reason for the engine explosion from Xu Cang, and finally put the incident to rest."
Li Rongxian just felt bored all over his body, he couldn't figure out how Tangtang Airbus would be played around by a brat.It doesn't help that the leaders of Jinmen City and the high-level executives of AVIC are all talkative about how big the project of Jinmen General Assembly Plant is, but Xu Cang just let Airbus compromise.
This dealt a huge blow to Li Rongxian's self-esteem.
"Without him, wouldn't we be able to find out the reason?" Li Rongxian shouted.
"The engine exploded, and the parts were scattered everywhere. It takes time to find the cause without a goal. Many accident investigations take years at every turn. How long do you think we can wait? Time is wasted?" Leo said He was always gnashing his teeth, why didn't he feel aggrieved, but what could he do?
"Did you know? This is a very important civil aviation market in the world, and its every move will radiate to the surrounding area." Leo continued: "Not long ago, Japan and South Korea have formally submitted consultation letters to our company, requesting a reply regarding Flight 9451. The cause of the engine explosion. How do you say we reply? If there is no reply, will JCAB and SRAA follow the CAAC’s grounding of the Airbus 320? Do you think it is possible?”
Li Rongxian lowered his head, he didn't speak, and he didn't dare to speak, but he knew that this possibility was absolutely possible.
If CAAC, JCAB, and SRAA issue relevant no-fly orders at the same time, it is estimated that other civil aviation administrations in East Asia will follow suit, and the consequences will be unimaginable.
"Also! CFM not long ago clearly expressed its willingness to ask our company to resolve the 9451 incident as soon as possible."
Now Li Rongxian was really startled: "Why does CFM company get involved?"
"The problem is the Airbus 56 equipped with CFM320. The no-flying order has no restrictions on the 2500 equipped with V320. After the no-flying order was issued, many customers have requested to modify the power system to V2500. You said What are they doing?" Leo asked back: "And, as far as CFM knows, IAE contacted Xu Cang privately."
"What!" Li Rongxian couldn't hold back anymore, and stood up immediately: "What does IAE mean?"
Leo signaled Li Rongxian to sit down, and sneered, "Don't you understand? Take this opportunity to disgust CFM, colleagues are enemies, and if they don't make trouble, are they still enemies?"
Even though Leo is a foreigner, he seems to have a good understanding of domestic culture, and the taste of speaking is quite good.
Li Rongxian sat down angrily: "Xu Cang has reached an agreement with us and will not disclose the relevant content."
"If we can give Xu Cang money, the IAE won't. Do they have no money?"
"Then the IAE broke the rules, why don't we settle accounts with them?" Li Rongxian was furious.
Although IAE's behavior was definitely aimed at CFM, it also stabbed Airbus invisibly. How could Li Rongxian not be angry?
Leo waved his hand: "Let's settle the score with the IAE company!"
"Why forget it, they are not the only aero engine manufacturers."
"But the Airbus 380 project has been approved, and the engine used is Rolls-Royce's Trent 900 engine. Have you forgotten that Rolls-Royce is the second shareholder of IAE?" Leo explained: "The basic framework of the Airbus 380 has been released. The power system can’t be changed anymore. If you have trouble with Luo Luo because of the IAE matter, it’s a small loss that makes a lot of money.”
“380的动力系统不是还有Engine Alliance的GP7200做备选嘛,有必要就在遄达900上吊死?GP7200的内核机用的是通用GE90的,跟IAE又扯不上关系。”
Leo glared at Li Rongxian: "But the turbofan and low-pressure compressor of GP7200 are from Pratt & Whitney and Luoluo. Those are the big boss and second boss of IAE, do you understand?"
The relationships among the aero-engine manufacturers in the world are intricate. If you do a little fiddling, you will have to involve a lot of relationships. That's why Airbus dare not really touch the IAE, not to mention that the weakness of the Airbus 380 has been given by others. Hold on, how can you move around at will?
Li Rongxian cursed in a low voice, and after a long delay, he said softly: "I see, I will leave for Jianchuan tomorrow."
"No, it's better to leave tonight." Leo added: "We have already notified AVIC, Xu Cang will get the news soon, don't keep him waiting."
Li Rongxian exhaled a long breath, but his voice trembled a little, and his face was irritable.
Perhaps to appease Li Rongxian, Leo said: "Boeing has stumbled on the 777 project. Even if the 777 is airworthy in the future, it can be verified that the twists and turns in the flight will reduce customers' confidence in the 777. At least for a period of time in the future, our The 330 can still remain strong. As long as the 380 is successfully produced, it will be able to compete with the Boeing 747. In the field of wide-body aircraft, Boeing is no longer an advantage. Now is a critical moment, don’t lose the big because of small things.”
Li Rongxian lowered his head slowly, and said emphatically, "Got it!"
On the apron of Yangcheng Airport in the early morning of the next day, Xu Cang yawned and got off the plane, wearing a reflective vest and going down to refuel.
It was already past nine o'clock, and the Yangcheng Airport was still chilly, which made Xu Cang's body tremble uncontrollably.
After telling the fueler about the amount of oil, Xu Cang felt the phone vibrating in his pocket.After walking to a distance and keeping a safe enough distance, he took out his mobile phone and saw that it was Chen Jinwu's call.
Xu Cang didn't think too much, and got connected smoothly. Before he could speak, Chen Jinwu's extremely excited voice came from the opposite side: "Xu Cang, Xu Cang, how did you do it? Airbus While saying that they intend to advance the project of the General Assembly Plant in Jinmen, they said three years, and the project will be implemented within three years!"
Xu Cang was stunned for a moment, but he quickly realized that Airbus compromised faster than expected.
"It's a good thing!" Xu Cang didn't say much, "It went smoother than I imagined."
"How did you do it? The Airbus gang is too difficult to talk about. Why did you let go?" Although it was only two or three years earlier, it was already a huge surprise for Chen Jinwu.He was just eager to know how Xu Cang managed Airbus.
Xu Cang was not very willing to tell Chen Jinwu about some things, so he casually said: "Is it difficult for Airbus to talk, I think they are quite easy to talk to?"
"You little baby!" Of course Chen Jinwu knew that Xu Cang was talking nonsense, but he didn't ask any further questions. Everyone has their own means, so there's no need to pursue everything to the end.As soon as the subject changed, Chen Jinwu got down to business: "I'm calling you this time, firstly to tell you the good news, and also because we agreed before, you've done the job, what do you want?"
Xu Cang thought for a while, this time he didn't refuse, and organized his words a little bit: "Old Chen, this matter is a bit complicated, please listen to me to explain slowly."
As he said that, Xu Cang briefly talked about everything from meeting Shi Lingling, to the deprivation of his title by the meritorious pilot headed by Wang Baotian, and to encountering 9451. After that, he also mentioned the matter of the Commissioner of the International Civil Aviation Organization. .
If it was someone else, Xu Cang might hesitate to be honest, after all, he has selfishness in this matter.But Chen Jinwu is different, this is a sincere and trustworthy person, Xu Cang believes that Mr. Chen can understand his difficulties.
On the other end of the phone, Chen Jinwu digested what Xu Cang said for a while, and he quickly understood Xu Cang's appeal, and confirmed: "Xu Cang, what do you mean you need the support of the Director of the Policy and Regulations Department of the General Administration? Bar?"
Xu Cang admitted it very naturally: "That's what it means, Mr. Chen!"
"I understand. You are high-minded, you don't want to be bound by other people, and you want to be free, I can understand." Chen Jinwu said quietly: "Don't worry, since I promised you, then this matter will be covered. It's on me. After the Jinmen General Assembly Plant project is implemented, I, as a representative of AVIC, will definitely go to Hanking. At that time, the director of the Policy and Regulations Department will definitely come over, and I will find time to mention it to him. a bit."
Xu Cang hurriedly reminded: "Mr. Chen, I heard that the director of the Policy and Regulations Department is a bit stubborn, so when you mention me, please polish it a little."
If you just tell the director of the Department of Policy and Regulations your thoughts truthfully, it will always seem too purposeful and may cause discomfort.Therefore, the rhetoric needs to be slightly modified.
"Understood, understood! Don't worry, little friend, I still know this bit of speaking skills, and I will definitely handle it for you." Chen Jinwu laughed.
"Then please trouble Mr. Chen." Xu Cang thought for a while: "Mr. Chen, if you can meet the director of the Transportation Department of the General Administration, remember to say something nice for me in front of him, I will be grateful!"
Chen Jinwu was puzzled: "What relationship do you have with the Transportation Department?"
Xu Cang didn't hide it: "Boy, I got a small airline company, and I figured that if I want to apply for a route in the future, I have to make a good impression on the heart of the director of the transportation department. It may be helpful for the route approval in the future."
The transportation department is mainly in charge of the route approval in the Bureau. Anyway, keep a good impression first, regardless of whether it is useful or not.
"You really have a lot of thoughts, kid, I remember it." Chen Jinwu didn't care much about Xu Cang's request, and it wasn't a big deal anyway: "As for the additional remuneration that will be given to you after the completion of the Jinmen General Assembly Factory, my preliminary The idea is to take out a part of the income from the general assembly plant and send it to you on a regular basis as a dividend. However, how to do this needs to be discussed, and I can’t decide on my own.”
"And dividends?" This was a real surprise, and Xu Cang never thought about it from the beginning.
"Of course, I'll tell you when it's settled later. You put in so much effort, it's nothing to get a profit share." Chen Jinwu said with a smile: "Okay, I won't bother you, you are busy, hang up !"
After Chen Jinwu hung up the phone, Xu Cang put away the phone with a smile, as if he was keeping up with honey in his heart.Although there have been some bad things recently, there are more good things in the end.
"Could it be that I'm about to turn around?"
Xu Cang took the fuel slip and boarded the plane, went into the cockpit to clamp the fuel slip, and sat in the right seat by himself.Since the last flight, Xu Cang slept almost twice, so Xu Cang was seated at the beginning of today's flight.
"Come on and be so happy?" Mo Shangyun just saw Xu Cang's smirk, and felt that something happened: "What happened, let's tell everyone how happy it is?"
Where can I say this, Xu Cang quickly waved his hand: "It's okay, I'm just silly. Oh, I'm here, I'm here, let's not talk about it, work!"
Seeing that Xu Cang refused to say anything, Mo Shangyun didn't press the question, but asked another question: "Will you come to take off later?"
"Huh? Teacher, are you tired?" Xu Cang asked while adjusting the frequency of release.
Mo Shangyun directly laughed angrily: "You are really lazy, I can't let you fly if I'm not tired, so I deserve to fly all by myself?"
Xu Cang scratched his head embarrassingly. He really started to be lazy instinctively. When he saw Mo Shangyun getting angry, he immediately put on a smiling face: "Teacher, don't worry, I'll fly, I can't fly."
With that said, Xu Cang smoothly switched the main switch of F/D to his side.
"However, if it's 1566, the plane's head is going up abnormally, so we still have to be careful." Instructor Mo warned.
Xu Cang pulled the steering wheel casually: "I checked the records of the plane in front of me, and there is nothing wrong with it. I don't think I'm so unlucky. I can still encounter a small probability incident, so it's not the plane's problem, but also It's not my problem, it's God's problem."
Teacher Mo was amused: "I think you have to go to the temple to burn incense and get rid of bad luck. It's quite necessary. Do you think this makes sense, Xu Cang?"
Just when Xu Cang pulled the steering wheel a little casually, it was obviously only a small movement, but outside the plane, the elevator of the plane produced a very obvious stroke movement.
The change of the elevator could not match the movement of Xu Cang's steering wheel at all.But Xu Cang was completely unaware of the change of the elevator in the cockpit.
