Return to 2000: Captain of the Great Powers

In the tea restaurant on the second floor of the airport hotel outside Jianchuan Airport, Xu Cang was temporarily free after being questioned by the Jianchuan Supervision Bureau.However, this does not mean that Xu Cang can go to his own affairs immediately, he still needs to stay in Jianchuan for a few days, so that the Southwest Administration Bureau can send someone over later.

Of course, even if the investigation ends now, Xu Cang will not really leave Jianchuan. As soon as the 1566 plane incident came out, a series of reactions would follow, and Xu Cang had to get more benefits from it.

Although he didn't want to admit it, Xu Cang seemed to have tasted the sweetness of the forced landing incident at sea in Qizhou last time. As long as he survived this kind of special situation where the responsible party is not artificial, he can get a lot of benefits.

This is the most direct way to use his own life to obtain benefits. Xu Cang is unwilling to try it from the bottom of his heart, but it has already happened. If he doesn't take advantage of it, he is really sorry for putting himself in danger.

After talking on the phone with Li Rongcheng in the VIP lounge of the airport, he heard that Xu Cang was going to sue Boeing for compensation. Li Rongcheng, who originally planned to go abroad and return to Boeing headquarters, changed his itinerary temporarily to find Xu Cang.

After dealing with the simple inquiries from the bureau, Xu Cang and others all checked into the airport hotel and did not go to the base of Blue Sky Airlines. Afterwards, Xu Cang was handed over by Li Rongcheng, and the two met in the tea restaurant on the second floor to chat about things.

Xu Cang ordered some desserts, while Li Rongcheng was worried and had no appetite, so he was busy drinking tea.

It took almost half an hour for Xu Cang to narrate in detail what happened on flight 9951n just now. Li Rongcheng listened so engrossed that the tea he was holding was hanging in the air. Sourness is the reaction.

"Fly the 737 upside down! Xu Cang, that means you can do this kind of thing." After a while, Li Rongcheng still couldn't accept such a super-maneuvering scene on a large airliner.

"If you are poor, you want to change. You can't wait to die." Xu Cang didn't take it seriously: "By the way, why did you come here specially? It won't affect your trip back to the United States, right?"

As far as Xu Cang knew, today Li Rongcheng was going to take a flight from Jianchuan to Hanjing, and then return to Boeing headquarters.On the one hand, it is the responsibility, and on the other hand, it is also to start the 737-900 aircraft for Xu Cang.

Xu Cang still valued the 737-900 plane promised by Li Rongcheng.Especially after learning that the basic condition for establishing an airline company is to have at least three aircraft, the importance of Li Rongcheng is even more highlighted.Xu Cang didn't want to delay his trip back to China because Li Rongcheng came to find him on purpose, thus affecting the matter of 737-900.

"It's okay. The flight back home is tomorrow afternoon. I'll just change the flight and take the flight that takes off at [-]:[-] p.m.." Li Rongcheng pushed the teacup in front of him with his fingers, with a serious look on his face: "Xu Cang, are you sure that the Boeing manual is about Is there a loophole in the handling procedure for taking off and rubbing the tail?"

"That's natural!" Xu Cang said quite affirmatively: "When the tail of the aircraft is rubbed to cause substantial damage to the fuselage, once the pressure difference is too large, further damage to the fuselage structure is easy to occur. Perhaps, Boeing did not expect to rely solely on pressure. It can barely break the structure of the aircraft fuselage”

Li Rongcheng can probably understand what Xu Cang said, but after all, he is in charge of administration and not specialized in technology, so he doesn't understand much.It's just out of trust in Xu Cang, seeing Xu Cang's swearing, Li Rongcheng himself believed it a little bit. …

If there is a problem with the centering device of the elevator, it can be defined as a case-by-case problem, and the liability for compensation can naturally be limited to a relatively limited range.

However, if it is identified that there are loopholes in the special situation handling procedures, it will be universal and the impact will be very large.

"Xu Cang, what do you want?" Li Rongcheng got along with Xu Cang a lot, and he stopped beating around the bush and got into the subject directly: "You can tell me first, and I will weigh it for you."

Xu Cang jokingly said: "Weigh how to squeeze your boss's wool?"

"I'm not helping either side, or I'm helping both sides. This is to minimize the impact, which is good for both parties." Li Rongcheng said honestly.

The reason why Boeing is flying smoothly in the world is not only relying on reliable aircraft, but also a relatively complete flight manual.If there is a problem with the plane and the manual, it must be quite a headache for Boeing.

"Oh." Xu Cang moved the snack plate aside, patted his clothes, and seemed to be about to discuss things seriously: "To be honest, I haven't thought it through yet. But if you want to get an answer right away, then Well, give me another plane, I want the 800 model."

"Still paying in installments?"

"No!" Xu Cang shook his head and laughed: "I almost lost my life. After all, my life is more expensive than a 737-800 plane, right? But speaking of it, the s747 switch on the front of the 2 In the incident, I didn't ask you for any compensation, this time it's two people coming together, and it's settled at once, how about it?"

Hearing that Xu Cang mentioned the 747s2 switch again, Li Rongcheng really had nothing to say.That incident was indeed a design flaw in the aircraft door locking system. For that incident, many 747s were grounded for a period of time, and the airline said that many of the losses incurred were paid by Boeing.For this reason, Boeing has made a lot of blood.

At that time, Xu Cang was not like what he is now. He knew how to maximize his benefits, but he did not submit a claim for compensation to Boeing in his own name.

However, after the incident with the meritorious pilot, Xu Cang began to change. It should be his own, so he had to take it over.

Li Rongcheng's face was not very good-looking: "Xu Cang, an 800 is close to [-] million yuan. Do you mean to give it away for free? This request is too outrageous."

[-] million, even if it is placed in a company like Boeing, it is not a level that can be sprinkled casually. Li Rongcheng feels that it is impossible for Boeing headquarters to agree.

"You are even willing to show the blueprint of the 737ng, but you are not willing to pay for an aircraft worth [-] million yuan? Moreover, [-] million yuan is your quotation, how could the actual cost be [-] million yuan? Your so-called payment is actually not that much, right? .”

According to Xu Cang's feeling, aircraft manufacturing is an extremely lucrative industry. The external selling price is 2 million yuan, and the actual cost is estimated to be more than [-] million yuan.Of course, many aircraft manufacturing companies do not earn the most profit from selling aircraft, and only after maintenance can they continue to earn profits.

For large passenger aircraft, once it involves the replacement of aviation materials, it is not easy to find an aviation material supplier to adapt.If something goes wrong, it is entirely his own responsibility, and neither Boeing nor the insurance company will compensate.Therefore, airlines can only use genuine aviation materials, and the price of genuine aviation materials is generally quite impressive. It is common for a small light bulb to cost one or two hundred. This is the big head of Boeing and Airbus Lilan. …

Li Rongcheng snorted: "How can this be the same? The 777 incident is directly related to the life and death of the company, so the payment must be regardless of the cost. The incident you mentioned. To be honest, I feel that it can cause serious damage to Boeing. The impact is not great, so naturally it cannot be compared in the same breath.”

Xu Cang didn't believe it: "There are loopholes in the manual, so the impact isn't that big?"

"But how are you going to prove it?"

"How can you prove it? Isn't what happened today the proof?"

Li Rongcheng sighed and said: "This is at most a supporting evidence, not a direct proof. The subsequent explosion of the tail of the plane may be the natural development of the damage caused by the tail rubbing, not necessarily caused by the pressure difference theory. "

"The tail explosion of the plane happened when the outflow valve was fully closed"

"It might just be a mere coincidence."

Xu Cang didn't continue talking, he began to understand what Li Rongcheng meant.He straightened up slightly, leaned back on the back of the chair, and suddenly smiled: "Then I will apply for relevant verification at Boeing, and it will definitely not work."

Boeing has detailed verification equipment, as long as you want to verify, it will definitely be able to verify it.But according to what Li Rongcheng said, Boing seems to have the option to hold on, but Xu Cang has nothing to do with Boing.

"Xu Cang, whoever advocates and who provides evidence, as long as Boeing insists on it, you must provide direct evidence. The key is this kind of verification evidence, can you provide it? Without equipment, without personnel, you simply cannot There is no proof."

"Whoever advocates, who provides evidence, this is not an absolute rule for the allocation of the burden of proof. The difficulty of providing evidence between me and Boeing is obviously much greater for me. In line with the principle of fairness, the court should not let me Come provide evidence."

Li Rongcheng sneered: "Fairness, is there any fairness in this world?"

Xu Cang was startled, his fingernails flicked on the edge of the dessert plate, and there was a crisp buzzing sound: "It seems that I am thinking too much?"

"Xu Cang, Boeing's manuals are certified by the Federal Aviation Regulations. Only Boeing itself changes the manuals on its own initiative. If outsiders attack the Boeing manuals with this, it is equivalent to denying the legitimacy of the Federal Aviation Regulations. Do you think it is possible?" Li Rongcheng persuaded.

Xu Cang became interested: "Then I seem to have to consider the relationship with faa?"

"You don't need to think about it, but your new aircraft needs to be considered." Li Rongcheng said coldly: "The relationship with FAA is too tense. How will your new aircraft obtain FAA type approval certification in the future? Without FAA certification, you How will the new aircraft go to the world?"

Hearing this, the muscles on one side of Xu Cang's face twitched, but he didn't say anything.

this is the truth!
In the future, if domestically produced large aircraft want to be exported, they must obtain a type approval certificate from the local Civil Aviation Administration.However, the civil aviation administrations of many countries in the world do not even have sound regulations, let alone have the ability to identify the airworthiness of a model.

Therefore, these national civil aviation administrations that do not have the ability to appraise simply do not appraise, and they follow the standards of the two civil aviation administrations, FAA and EASA.

As long as a model has both FAA and EASA type approval certificates, it can automatically obtain the type approval certificate locally. …

This is authority, this is the first-mover advantage!
One step at a time, one step at a time!Once the industry standard is formed in advance, it will be a disaster for the latecomers.In the field of civil aviation, FAA and EASA are the industry standards, which are not recognized by other countries.

As long as Xu Cang attacks with loopholes in the manual, it will inevitably drag down the Federal Aviation Regulations that give the Boeing manual legality. Isn't this nakedly provoking FAA?

It can't be said that in the future, FAA, who holds a grudge, will stumble the type approval of domestic large aircraft, there is really nothing to do.

If there is no FAA certification, at least domestically produced large aircraft cannot be exported to more than [-]% of foreign countries, unless the future domestically produced large aircraft will only be a model that encloses itself.

Regardless of whether it is from the country, or the practitioners of domestic aircraft, or Xu Cang himself, they absolutely do not want this kind of thing to happen.But in this way, Xu Cang really has nothing to do with Boeing.

It's no wonder that from just now, Li Rongcheng persuaded Xu Cang not to go too far, because he is a person who sees through the essence.That is, for a long time in the future, we can only see faa's face.

Xu Cang took a deep breath: "Then what is your suggestion?"

"Aren't you planning to build a company? You will definitely be introducing a large number of aircraft in the future, and you can ask for more discounts in subsequent aircraft orders. In this way, Boeing is relatively acceptable, and the benefits you get here are also good. Quite a few, the best of both worlds." Li Rongcheng suggested.

For a new company like Xu Cang, there are basically no discounts when buying Boeing aircraft. Only when the number of transactions in the future increases and it is considered a regular customer, will there be discounts gradually.

What Li Rongcheng meant was to allow Boeing to give corresponding discounts to "regular customers" from the very beginning.Over time, the money saved may not be less than an airplane.

However, this seemingly reasonable suggestion caused Xu Cang to fall into a long silence.Suddenly, Xu Cang asked a question: "What if this is used in exchange for our new aircraft to obtain type approval from FAA in the future?"

"Impossible!" How did you know that Li Rongcheng vetoed Xu Cang's idea without any thought at all: "Xu Cang, you don't know how much political game is involved in this, this is not a simple business behavior! Your The chips are too small to affect the balance of the balance at all."

"Xu Cang, if you feel dissatisfied, how about providing help when your company needs to open up China-US routes?"

The opening of international routes requires the consent of the civil aviation administrations of the two countries. As long as Xu Cang accepts the conditions, if there is a need in the future, Boeing can unblock it in FAA on its behalf.

This is also a nice condition!

However, Xu Cang kept a cold face and did not make a decision for a long time, which made Li Rongcheng a little worried.

"I'll think about it again." Xu Cang didn't answer immediately.

"Xu Cang, although I know this is not in line with your personality, but you have to learn to compromise with reality." Li Rongcheng sighed: "Do you feel powerless and angry? This is a desperate reality."

"Not so much." Xu Cang laughed suddenly, looking quite sincere: "At least not for Boeing. I told you a long time ago that Boeing has no future. Did I think I was joking?" ?”…

Li Rongcheng raised his eyebrows: "Do you think Airbus will beat Boeing in the future?"

Xu Cang shook his head: "Many empires disintegrated from within."

"Alright, let me think about how to do it."

Li Rongcheng hurriedly reminded: "In this situation, it is not appropriate to be head-to-head."

"I know, I won't be arrogant." Xu Cang was about to get up when he suddenly found a person coming in the door, it was Yang Tian from Luoluo Company.

Li Rongcheng noticed that Xu Cang was looking in the direction of the door, and looked back curiously, and immediately recognized Yang Tian, ​​was stunned, and blurted out: "Master Yang?"

"You know him?" Xu Cang asked.

"God Yang, one of the designers of the Trent 900, did he come to see you?"

Just when Li Rongcheng finished speaking, Yang Tian had already walked over.Just as he was about to talk to Xu Cang, he discovered Li Rongcheng's existence.Now the designer of the Trent 900 engine also knows Li Rongcheng, and he shouted in surprise: "Mr. Li is here?"

Li Rongcheng nodded to Yang Tian, ​​then looked at Xu Cang: "Since you have something to talk about, I'll go first."

Although Yang Tian didn't understand why Li Rongcheng sat with Xu Cang, and they seemed to have a good personal relationship, at least Li Rongcheng's behavior of avoiding suspicion made Yang Tian look grateful to him.

However, Xu Cang waved his hand: "No, you're not an outsider, you can just talk as usual, there's no need to hide it."

"This." Now it was Yang Tian's turn to be in a dilemma. It was really inconvenient to speak with a person in charge of Boeing's Asia-Pacific region by his side.

But Xu Cang laughed: "Anyway, you are here for the a380, and you have nothing to do with Boeing, so what are your scruples?"

"a380?" Li Rongcheng's eyes flashed with surprise. He really didn't expect that Rolls-Royce would have an intersection with Xu Cang, and it was because of the a380 project.

On the bright side, Boeing directly abandoned Airbus's aviation hub plan, and naturally did not agree with the a380 plan that was born out of this plan.

But although there is still a considerable difference between the 747 and the 380 in the market for the number of seats, they are still competitors.Talking about things in front of competitors is definitely not very comfortable.

Seeing Yang Tian twitching, Xu Cang became a little impatient: "You are Luo Luo, you are an engine supplier, not Airbus, you think too much."

Yang Tian's role is obviously too deep. Airbus and Boeing have a direct competitive relationship. It doesn't mean that Luo Luo, the engine supplier of Airbus, also has a competitive relationship with Boeing. This is not the same thing at all.

Perhaps it was because Yang Tian, ​​as a technician, was a little slow to respond to business matters, and he came to his senses after being reminded by Xu Cang, and sat opposite Li Rongcheng with a little shame, and said awkwardly: "Mr. Xu, you still see clearly. "

"You come here as a lobbyist, and Luo Luo's PR department is empty?" Xu Cang said helplessly.

Yang Tian blushed: "Our evaluation felt that Mr. Xu has a deep investment in certain emotions, so we sent me here."

"Some emotions?" Xu Cang curled his lips: "The love of fellow countrymen, the love of family and country, you are really self-righteous. Even if some people have the same skin color and blood as me, they are not considered as our own. Do you think I have any compatriot kinship with that kind of person?”…

Yang Tian was even more embarrassed: "Mr. Xu, you don't have to say that. Although I am in Luoluo Company now, I still have to come back."

"Ah, I'm coming back!" Upon hearing this, Xu Cang's eyes lit up, and he grabbed Yang Tian's hand directly: "Mr. Yang is young and promising, he can participate in the Trent 900 at a young age." Mr. Yang has a specific plan to return to China, has he found another home in China, what do you think of our domestic Shanghai listing, if necessary, I can introduce it for you.”

Such a change in attitude directly stunned Yang Tian, ​​while Li Rongcheng next to him was speechless.Xu Cang really embodies the difference between intimacy and distance.

As long as he is an outsider, Xu Cang's performance is quite indifferent. Even if there is an interest dispute, it is only an exchange of interests, and there will be no other exchanges.

But if Xu Cang recognized him as one of his own, his attitude would be extremely enthusiastic.

Xu Cang is well aware of how scarce this kind of engine talents are. Just now Xu Cang was not flattering Yang Tian.Yang Tian looks like he is in his early thirties. At this age, he can participate in the research and development of the Trent 900, which shows his ability.

One of the weaknesses of domestic large aircraft is the aero engine. If Yang Tian can be brought under his command, wouldn't it be a timely help?

It can only be said that Xu Cang's brain power is quite strong, and he has already begun to think about how to fool Yang Tian back to the country.

"Mr. Xu, I'm still in the learning stage. Even if I want to go back to China, I can't do it for the time being." Yang Tiandao: "However, my roots are still here, and I will definitely come back."

Hearing the second half of the sentence, Xu Cang felt very comfortable: "Yes, yes, I am studying abroad, and I am not in a hurry to come back. I have learned all their skills."

Li Rongcheng next to him really couldn't stand it anymore, and reminded: "Xu Cang, pay attention to your face."

"Ah?" Xu Cang realized that he seemed to be too naked under the excitement, so he restrained himself and coughed twice: "I will talk about the matter of returning to China later, let's talk about the business first. No, I didn't I’ll answer you, that’s really not okay.”

"Mr. Xu, is it really impossible?" Yang Tian confirmed, "We can give you a lot of rewards."

Perhaps because he knew that Yang Tian would return to China in the later period, Xu Cang's attitude became better: "How did you feel on the plane today?"

Mentioning this, Yang Tian's face turned pale, and he was obviously still worried: "Thrilling! Mr. Xu, it is a manifestation of your superb skills. Who else is better than you for this task?"

After landing, Yang Tian had a little understanding of Xu Cang's "doing" in the sky. Even as an engine designer, he could feel that Xu Cang's attainments in flying technology had already reached the pinnacle.

Doesn't this technology perfectly meet the requirements of the actual machine test of the Trent 900?

"Do you think that this level of special love is in my hands and I can deal with it casually?" Xu Cang's expression was extremely sincere: "Let me tell you the truth, I am not [-]% sure about this level of special love. As an old saying goes, if you often walk by the river, how can you keep your shoes from getting wet? You can guarantee that I won’t roll over someday? I understand your thinking. The simulation test is too slow to obtain data, so let’s go straight to the real thing. But this kind of test will definitely go wrong, and I don’t have the confidence to survive every time.”…

"Mr. Xu, I know this is very dangerous, and our reward will be very generous."

"If you have money to take, then you have to spend it. Besides, I'm not very interested in your Luo Luo's money."

Yang Tian's face froze: "You must still be thinking about the cti fan system."

"Can you?" Xu Cang asked with a smile.

Yang Tian shook his head very solemnly: "No, it's really not possible. The cti fan system may be the key technology that triggers the engine revolution, so I really can't give it to you."

"Then there is nothing to talk about." Xu Cang shrugged: "Actually, even if you give me the technology of the cti fan system, I may not necessarily agree to it. My life is the most important thing."

Don't look at Xu Cang's single-handed efforts to turn the tide on the 9951n special situation, but in fact, Xu Cang broke into a cold sweat afterwards, and he began to reflect on whether he should gain benefits by dealing with the special situation.

Previously, Xu Cang planned to dispose of the Great Britain Air Disaster in exchange for the support of British Airways.Because in Xu Cang's view, he knew the cause of the Great Britain Air Crash, and it shouldn't be too dangerous to deal with it.

But it’s different now. This world-famous air crash may hide some dangerous areas that were not covered by the post-mortem investigation.It seems that there is no need to risk yourself.

Yang Tian saw that Xu Cang had already talked about this, so he couldn't continue to persuade him: "Mr. Xu, since this is the case, I will go back and return to my life. But if you change your mind in the next period of time, you can directly Ours, we are always here for you.”

"Don't talk about returning to China?" Xu Cang was still more interested in fooling Yang Tian back to China.

Yang Tian said helplessly: "Mr. Xu, I will not return to China for the time being. If I need help after returning to China, I will take the initiative to contact Mr. Xu."

"Okay, okay, just remember to contact me."

"En." Yang Tian said goodbye to Li Rongcheng again, and left in a hurry.

Looking at the back of Yang Tianyuan, Li Rongcheng couldn't help sighing: "Sure enough, he is doing research, and he speaks and does things so simply. But, what is the cti fan system you mentioned just now?"

"Low-voltage system, isn't Luo Luo just doing a good job with the low-voltage system?" Xu Cang yawned: "It's nothing, let's stop here today. You can go to work too, and you have to catch the plane."

Li Rongcheng nodded: "Then contact me when you have a decision."

After finishing speaking, Li Rongcheng also left, leaving only Xu Cang sitting alone.

Xu Cang took another bite of the dessert, frowned, and finally pushed the plate away completely.This dessert is too greasy after eating too much, I am really not suitable for desserts.

After taking a sip of tea to get rid of the tiredness, the screen of the mobile phone on the table lit up. It was Qin Xin's number, and Qin Xin probably only learned about 1566 at this time.

Xu Cang cleared his throat, and quickly connected the phone: "What's wrong?"

"What's the matter? Xu Cang, you didn't tell me the first time such a big thing happened?" Qin Xin's complaining voice came from the opposite side.

Xu Cang knew he was in the wrong, so he didn't refute, but made an excuse: "Cooperate with the bureau's investigation, where is the time. But anyway, people are fine. As long as people are fine, it's not a big deal."…

"I heard that the plane is about to be scrapped. It's not a big deal. Are there still planes flying in our base now?"

"Yes! Soon, Muhua Airlines will lease a plane to us, and the gap will be filled soon." Xu Cang said calmly, "By the way, has Erhai Airport started construction yet?"

"Construction has started. The construction started the night you went back to Jianchuan. Now, during the daytime, they build the base for us, and build the runway at night. The efficiency is very high." Qin Xin was a little excited: "The construction speed is so fast, it's only been a few days , our base has taken shape."

"With hundreds of people working together, the speed is naturally fast."

When Xu Cang heard this, he felt that Duan Lang's allocation of time was not bad.Build bases during the day and build runways at night without delay.It is very likely that after the runway project is completed, their base will also be able to accept it.

Suddenly, Xu Cang remembered one thing: "Has Muhua Airlines hired anyone?"

"I'm about to tell you about this." Qin Xin immediately said: "In recent days, not only many ground administrators have come to consult, but also many air crew, including five captains and above. Cang, do you want to accept them?"

Xu Cang was overjoyed when he heard the words: "Yes, of course!"

"However, the captain of Muhua Airlines wants 100 million compensation each, and the co-pilot is 50."

"Not much more, the compensation standard of Muhua Airlines is not high. Don't worry, the value that these people can produce when they come here will far exceed this expenditure."

Why do airlines like to poach mature pilots from other airlines?Because it is cost-effective, even if compensation is added, it is very cost-effective.

Pilots are jobs that require continuous training, and training costs are invested in them every moment.It would cost more than 80 yuan just to get the private business certificate, not to mention the time and material costs spent on training a student pilot to become a captain.

Therefore, the compensation terms proposed by Muhua Airlines are quite conscientious.Generally speaking, it is common to double the compensation standard in the market.

"Then this is a huge expense." Qin Xin said: "Then the money for renting the plane of Muhua Airlines is not enough."

"It's okay, take it from Blue Sky Airlines' liquidated damages."

"But now that the plane is almost scrapped, can we still get the liquidated damages?"

Xu Cang was taken aback, this is the time to react.That's right, Blue Sky Airlines is considered a breach of contract if it takes back 1566 in advance. Now that 1566 is scrapped, how can it take it back?
Not to mention getting liquidated damages from Blue Sky Airlines, Blue Sky Airlines probably has to ask him for money.

As a result, things seem to be a little out of order.

"That. Let me figure out a way, and it will definitely be straightened out. Anyway, those pilots will accept as many as they want, and after passing this village, there will be no such shop." Xu Cang said firmly: "By the way, just now I had a problem with this side. I talked with a leader of Fang. They said that the General Administration’s Order No. 39 mentioned that the establishment of an airline company requires at least three aircraft, whether it is leased or purchased.”

"What?" Upon hearing the news, Qin Xin was also stunned: "This is serious."

Xu Cang was also quite embarrassed: "It should be true."

"Then even if the 737-900 is three months later, we only have two planes at most. Should we rent another one short-term? But the price will be very high for short-term leases."…

To be precise, in fact, aircraft leasing companies are not willing to accept short-term leasing of large passenger aircraft unless the price is very high.But the price is too high, Xu Cang and the others don't have so much money.

This is the difficulty in the early stage of starting a business. The money just flows out, and the money has not yet been returned.And Qin Xin's own savings were already bottoming out, and with a little bit of extra expenses, she seemed stretched.

Xu Cang's mind was spinning crazily, the appearance of 9951n and General Administration Order No. 39 disrupted all his plans.However, it is not the last moment yet, and there may be a turning point.

"Xu Cang, do you want to put aside the establishment of the airline company?" Qin Xin suggested.

If this can't solve the problem of funds, once the chain of funds is broken, the problem will be serious.

Who knew that Xu Cang immediately rejected Qin Xin's proposal: "Now it's not a matter of us letting it go later, but a matter of Blue Sky Airlines wanting to take back our operating qualification. Our operating qualification is attached to Blue Sky Airlines, as long as they don't admit it We divide the legitimacy of the base, so we are operating without a license. However, the 9951n matter is a bit good, that is, it interrupts the progress of Blue Sky Airlines’ breach of contract. However, the 9951n matter can at most last After a few months, when the time comes, our business qualifications will still be revoked. Should we wait until then to rush?"

As Xu Cang said, the 9951n incident messed up Xu Cang's plan, but in fact it also messed up Blue Sky Airlines' plan.Because the sub-base status given to Xu Cang and the others is included in the wet lease agreement, now that 9951n is almost scrapped, the wet lease agreement has experienced force majeure and cannot continue or be terminated. We can only wait for the matter to be investigated and cleared up. Let's talk about the compensation relationship.

Therefore, the management rights of the sub-bases bound to the wet lease agreement cannot be recovered for the time being.Objectively speaking, it also gave Xu Cang and others time to manipulate.However, all of this is temporary. When the 9951n incident is known, Blue Sky Airlines will take back the legal right to operate the Erhai Base.

Therefore, Xu Cang was so anxious to assemble the airline company in order to obtain his own legal operating rights.

Suddenly, a flash of light flashed in Xu Cang's mind: "Qin Xin, I thought of a way. I won't tell you, I'll go ask my master."

After finishing speaking, Xu Cang directly hung up Qin Xin's phone, found the number of Master Chen Xiangdong in the address book, and called.

Soon, the call was connected.Chen Xiangdong's slightly anxious voice came from the opposite side: "Xu Cang, I heard that something happened to you again today?"

"Small matter, master!" Xu Cang directly brought up the matter of 9951n. He called Chen Xiangdong not because of 9951n, but because of another more difficult matter: "Master, do you know that the "Initiation of Air Transport" promulgated in 93 Basic Conditions for Enterprise Approval and Detailed Rules for Undertaking Procedures?"

Chen Xiangdong obviously didn't keep up with his apprentice's thinking, and it took him a while to react: "I know a little bit, what's wrong?"

"I heard it mentioned that at least three aircraft are required to form an airline company. Is there such a clause?"

"Yes!" Chen Xiangdong replied naturally.However, he quickly realized: "No, then you said you want to form an airline company, do you have three planes?"…

Chen Xiangdong seemed to remember that Xu Cang only rented a plane from Blue Sky Airlines, so it didn't even meet the basic requirements for forming an airline company.Some time ago, Chen Xiangdong only knew that Xu Cang was going to build a company, but he didn't pay much attention to it. Naturally, he didn't think about the detailed rules. He only remembered it after being reminded by Xu Cang.

"There is such a problem now, and I am trying to solve it." Xu Cang also did not beat around the bush: "Master, I want to ask, there is no regulation on whether the at least three aircraft are leased or purchased, so is there any requirement for the type of aircraft? Or does it have to be a 737 or 320 or something?"

"No, you are registered with a Part 121 airline, and you only need to meet the requirements of Part 121."

Domestic civil aviation involves many aspects, so it must be distinguished, and it cannot be defined by a whole AR regulation.Therefore, different laws and regulations are distinguished according to different fields, and regulations in different aspects are distinguished by "departments".Like there are 121, 135, 145, 147 and so on.

For example, Part 135 is the operation certification rules for commercial transport operators of small aircraft, and Part 147 is the certification regulations for civil aircraft maintenance training institutions. What is related to Xu Cang is Part 121, which is the relevant regulations for large transportation companies.

Chen Xiangdong thought for a while: "I remember that the requirement is for regular passenger transport flights implemented by multi-engine aircraft with a maximum take-off weight of more than 5700 kg, and non-scheduled passenger transport flights implemented by multi-engine aircraft with more than 30 passenger seats or a maximum commercial load of more than 3400 kg." There is also cargo flight, which seems to be a full-cargo flight carried out by a multi-engine aircraft with a maximum commercial load of more than 3400 kilograms. As long as one of them is satisfied."

Hearing Chen Xiangdong's introduction, Xu Cang began to think: "A five-ton seven-engine aircraft. If it is arj21, wouldn't it also meet the standards? The maximum weight of arj21 is [-] tons, and the maximum number of seats can reach [-]." It's completely up to standard."

"You." Chen Xiangdong responded for a while, although he felt that something was wrong, but after thinking over and over again, it seemed that there was nothing wrong with what Xu Cang said.

Hearing that Chen Xiangdong didn't reply for a long time, Xu Cang was overjoyed: "Is that the reason, Master?"

"It seems to make sense." Chen Xiangdong was really speechless: "I said, what exactly do you want to do?"

"Don't worry about what I'm doing, you can rest, Master, I won't bother you anymore." Just when Xu Cang was about to hang up the phone, he suddenly remembered something: "Master, there is one more thing. Not long after, wood China Airlines will lease an aircraft to me. If you come to the headquarter for filing, please keep an eye on it. I am using the aircraft in a hurry, and I can finish the procedure as soon as possible, okay! Let alone, You rest."

Xu Cang hung up the phone in a hurry, and called old Mr. Chen Jinwu almost non-stop.

After the call was connected, Xu Cang first expressed his apology: "Old Chen, I'm sorry to disturb you so late."

"It's okay, I haven't rested yet, so I don't want to disturb you." Chen Jinwu was still kind and kind as always: "It just so happens that I have something to tell you. The matter you asked me to do earlier has been done. The company secretary of the Policy and Regulations Department I will support you in the long run.”…

Hearing this, Xu Cang was overjoyed: "I'm sorry, old Chen."

In this way, the number of recommended places for the flight commissioner of the International Civil Aviation Organization that I am in is relatively safe.

"No trouble, no trouble, it's just a matter of little effort." Chen Jinwu laughed and said, "There is one more thing, that is, our incentive plan for you to promote the implementation of the Jinmen General Assembly Plant project has also come out."

Afterwards, General Chen Jin explained the reward method to Xu Cang in detail.

Xu Cang originally intended to use this to get the director of the Policy and Regulations Department to recommend him, and at the same time contribute to the country. He really didn't have the idea of ​​reaping money.Before, I told Mr. Chen that he would not refuse the reward, that is to say, but he did not expect that there is actually a reward method.

What's more, after listening to Mr. Chen's words, it is estimated that there is still a lot of money!
"Okay, do you think this reward method is acceptable. Xu Cang, this is already the biggest dividend I can get, are you satisfied?"

"Satisfied, satisfied, definitely satisfied, quite satisfied." Xu Cang's mouth almost crooked.

The development of the Jinmen Airbus General Assembly Plant will be booming in the future. Even half of the dividend is not a small amount, and it is still making money lying down without paying at all.

"That's all right, that's it. When the factory is built, you will get regular dividends." Chen Jinwu smiled and said, "By the way, what I said all hindered your speech. You called me so late. Call me, is there something urgent?"

"Oh, ouch, I almost forgot about it." Xu Cang, who had just heard that he could get a dividend, saw such a large income for the first time.Therefore, Xu Cang explained to Chen Jinwu the difficulty of setting up an airline company.

"Mr. Chen, what I mean is very simple, that is, to rent an arj21 for a short period of one month. After I successfully set up an airline company, I will give away that arj21, is that okay?"

ARJ21 is a product of AVIC, which also has aircraft leasing business.Xu Cang thought that he had done a lot for AVIC, there was no credit but hard work, and it was not a harsh request to help him when he was in trouble.

Chen Jinwu smiled and said, "You kid, aren't you taking advantage of the loopholes in the laws and regulations?"

Xu Cang's meaning is very simple. According to the regulations, the establishment of an airline company requires at least three planes. Now he is short of one plane.Since arj21 also meets the requirements, let's rent one temporarily to make up the number.

The rent of arj21 is much cheaper than that of 737 and other aircrafts, and there is an old acquaintance in AVIC, Mr. Chen, so he probably won't kill himself.In addition, Xu Cang leased the arj21 to not operate at all, simply to meet the minimum number of aircraft required, and then return the aircraft after the business license is issued.

The rent is cheap and the time is short, so the expenditure is not very high, so you may be able to make it out if you bite the bullet.

This is Xu Cang's method, it seems a little opportunistic, but it is also forced to no other way.

"Old Chen, you can't say that. I came here according to the regulations, but I encountered some difficulties, and I made a little flexibility. A living person can't be suffocated to death by urine." Xu Cang was worried: " Mr. Chen, is it easy to arrange a one-month short-term rental?"

If there is no help from acquaintances, even a mainline aircraft like arj21 will not have a one-month short-term lease, which is like a child's play.Aircraft leasing companies don't make a lot of money, and they have to deal with various procedures, transfers and other troublesome things. Who would want to put it aside?

So, everything depends on Chen Lao!

"Is one month enough?"

Xu Cang immediately cried: "Old Chen, I know this is embarrassing you. But we really don't have much money here, we can squeeze out one month's rent at most."

"You little boy, you have secured a project as big as the Jinmen General Assembly Plant for AVIC, and you will help us get the 737ng blueprint later. What's so difficult about renting an arj21? I'm simply asking you Is it enough for one month, and it can be extended if it’s not enough, let’s just forget about the rent.”

"Ah? No money!"

Chen Jinwu smiled and said, "It's just for you to put on a facade, any money you want is a trivial matter."

"Okay, okay, one month is enough, absolutely enough." Xu Cang almost jumped up happily.Before, he helped Mr. Chen out of publicity, without asking for anything in return, but the reward came today.

"I will say hello to my colleagues in the aircraft leasing department. Whenever you need it, just tell me. All the formalities and documents will be completed for you, and they will be sent to Erhai Lake for you. It's Erhai Lake, I remember correctly Bar!"

"It's the Erhai Lake, it's the Erhai Lake!" Xu Cang smiled from ear to ear, and said a few words to Chen Lao before hanging up the phone.

Not long ago, I felt that the problem was extremely difficult, but it was almost solved after a phone call. Xu Cang was so refreshed.Therefore, you should do more good deeds at ordinary times, and you may be pleasantly surprised if something goes wrong one day.

In ancient times, Zhao Gao referred to a deer as a horse, and now Xu Cang refers to arj21 as b737, which is so interesting.
