Return to 2000: Captain of the Great Powers
Chapter 198 Privatize Jinghong Airport!
Chapter 198 Privatize Jinghong Airport! (Please subscribe!)
After chatting with Meng Zihao for a long time, Xu Cang felt that Jinghong really couldn't get the money out.Sure enough, the very beginning of starting a business is the most difficult, and everything has to be invested.
At the end of the chat, the atmosphere seemed a little gloomy, and Xu Cang was not in a good mood.The 2000 million really killed him.
There are actually not many predictable profit growth points for Spring and Summer Airlines, and the more reliable ones are the future intra-provincial routes.However, the intra-provincial routes probably belong to the type of small profits but quick turnover. There are profits, but it is definitely not a case of profit explosion.It will take at least eight more years to really wait for the peak of the provincial routes.
At that time, the tourism reputation of many cities in the province had already been established, and as time went by, people's living standards improved, and they could no longer meet the most basic needs of life, and began to spend more money on entertainment projects, such as travel.
Jinghong, Erhai, and Yulong are all well-known. Tourists from outside the province usually choose to go to Jianchuan first, and then travel around the province by plane from Jianchuan. This will provide large and high-quality passenger routes for the province’s routes source.
By that time, the intra-province route will truly become a strong engine of profit.
However, the intra-provincial routes will decline in the future, but Jinghong Airport can bring Xu Cang 20 years of profits. It's pretty scary already.
"Xu Cang, this is the situation. There is no financial allocation and the required amount is huge. I'm afraid it's not easy to handle." Hu Ming said worriedly.
Seeing how anxious Meng Zihao was these days, Hu Ming couldn't help but rejoice that the situation at Erhai Airport was still better than that at Jinghong Airport.Back then, when Erhai Airport was being built, the possibility of operating large civil airliners was considered, so mainstream airliners were considered in the program design, so it can be directly applied to commercial operations, saving a lot of money .
Xu Cang was silent for a long time, of course he knew that the matter was difficult to handle, but it had to be done if it was difficult to handle, this point Xu Cang figured it out.
Sending charcoal in the snow is not the icing on the cake. Now that Jinghong Airport is encountering difficulties, if you help yourself, you will definitely receive a huge return.
"Manager Meng, if I pay you for the programming, I want to know what I can get?" Xu Cang said seriously.
As soon as these words came out, the expression on Qin Xin's face changed suddenly, and she almost interrupted Xu Cang's words. Earlier, she hinted that Xu Cang should not get involved, but why did Xu Cang forget it in a blink of an eye?
Qin Xin could see clearly that Jinghong Airport was just a matter of flight procedures.Unlike Erhai Airport, Jinghong Airport had no civil purpose when it was designed, so not only is the program lacking, but the airport may not be able to keep up with the supporting facilities.
They really want Jinghong Airport to operate commercially. It seems that even if the flight procedures are completed, it will not be enough. There will be a lot of expenses in the future. Now their own finances are already struggling. Jinghong Airport?
Xu Cang's words are very naked, because if he wants to help Jinghong Airport realize commercialization, then he must pay a huge price.And Xu Cang wanted to make sure that after paying the price, he would get a reason worth doing.
Facing Xu Cang's words about how to benefit, Meng Zihao didn't know how to answer for a while.Of course, he didn't dislike Xu Cang's straightforwardness, but he didn't know what Jinghong Airport could offer Xu Cang.
The initial investment of 2000 million yuan is a sky-high price in this era.Even if Xu Cang provided funds out of seeking benefits, Meng Zihao was extremely grateful.
He also thought about whether he could find some private investors to invest in Jinghong Airport.However, for Jinghong, a poor city on the border, no investors are interested at all.
What's more, even if these people are willing to invest in Jinghong Airport, Meng Zihao doesn't want to let these people in unless it is absolutely necessary, because the industry is like a mountain, let alone a highly specialized industry like civil aviation.
Things might have been a little better if investors had been more enlightened.But if investors don't understand anything and still like to point fingers, it will bring endless troubles to the subsequent operation of the airport.
Meng Zihao thought for a while: "What do you want?"
As soon as Meng Zihao's words came out, Qin Xin didn't care about any secrets. She immediately grabbed Xu Cang's hand and shook her head towards Xu Cang. This attitude was quite obvious.
When Meng Zihao saw Qin Xin's statement, his face immediately turned pale, and he felt bad.
However, Xu Cang broke free from Qin Xin's small hand, patted the back of Qin Xin's hand with his backhand, and then said to Meng Zihao, "I want the shares of Jinghong Airport."
"It's natural." Meng Zihao didn't even think about it: "If you invest in shares, of course you have shares."
Xu Cang shook his head: "President Meng, I think you have misunderstood. The shares I want are not just for dividends, I mean to directly participate in the operation and management of Jinghong Airport."
As soon as this remark came out, Meng Zihao Huo stood up, and he said in disbelief: "Are you going to partially privatize Jinghong Airport?"
"That's right! If you want my help, the price is the partial privatization of Jinghong Airport." Xu Cang added: "You should also have heard from Director Hu that our Spring and Summer Airlines is also in its infancy, and the funds are very tight. .With so much money to help Jinghong Airport, if it’s just for dividends, then I have more and better channels, so I want something more thorough.”
At this moment, not only Meng Zihao, Qin Xin and Hu Ming were shocked by Xu Cang's wild and boundless ambition.For privatization, Xu Cang even partially privatized Jinghong Airport. This idea is really as wild as his flying skills.
Meng Zihao was still a little confused, he probably never thought that Xu Cang would make such a request.In his mind, does the airport still have privatization?
"Can the airport be privatized?" Meng Zihao asked with a guilty conscience.
Xu Cang raised his chin: "Why not? Longwan Airport, Changle Airport, Liuji Airport and Jinjiang Airport are all privatized self-funded airports. There are already precedents in China. Although Jinghong Airport is not newly built, it has never been carried out before. Commercial operation is no different from new construction.”
"This." Even though Xu Cang said that there was a precedent in the country, Meng Zihao obviously still couldn't make a decision: "Mr. Xu, your condition is really beyond my expectations."
The change in Meng Zihao's mood can also be seen from the title Meng Zihao gave to Xu Cang.
In the beginning, Meng Zihao called Xu Cang his little brother, and he was relatively relaxed, but now he has become a very formal Mr. Xu, which shows how much Xu Cang's words had an impact on Meng Zihao.
The hesitation on Meng Zihao's face did not last long, and he finally said dejectedly: "Mr. Xu, I am very grateful for your attention to our Jinghong Airport, but the proposal of partial privatization of the airport is really beyond my understanding. Perhaps, the commercial operation of Jinghong Airport can only wait until five years later.”
When Hu Ming heard this, his face changed: "Mr. Meng, five years, that's a full five years. The wave of the new era is so fierce, if you can't catch up, you will have to miss it forever. Opportunities wait for no one."
Hearing what Hu Ming said, Meng Zihao felt sad again.How can he not understand the current situation in the whole country? I don't know.
Five years, five years is too long.Undoubtedly, five years later it will be a different situation.
"Perhaps, this is Jinghong's fate." Meng Zihao sighed heavily, seeming to accept his fate.
However, Xu Cang said at this moment: "It seems that Mr. Meng still doesn't fully understand my determination. Let's put it this way, as long as Jinghong Airport agrees to give up the right to operate, we will not only complete the procedures, but also improve the supporting facilities. It will also help with construction and staff training.”
"Xu Cang!" At this point, Qin Xin couldn't bear it anymore, Xu Cang knew about the problems at Jinghong Airport.
Since it has never operated civil aviation, Jinghong Airport actually needs a lot of investment in facilities and personnel except for a runway.
For example, renovating the terminal building and conducting civil aviation training for ground and control personnel, all of which cost money.
You know, with such investment, Xu Cang is almost equivalent to rebuilding Jinghong Airport inside and out again, and the expenditure is really too high.
However, when Qin Xin almost explicitly refused, Xu Cang still insisted on going his own way, and he didn't seem to change his mind at all.Even though Qin Xin was in a hurry, on this occasion, he couldn't directly refute Xu Cang's face and make the decision for Xu Cang.
"Mr. Meng, this is my greatest sincerity. If you still feel that you can't accept it, then you can only say that we have no destiny." This is Xu Cang's bottom line, and it is also the biggest price Xu Cang can pay. More than Xu Cang can bear.
Meng Zihao opened his mouth, and finally said: "Mr. Xu, let me tell you frankly. Our airport does not have a dedicated civil aviation terminal, and the tower can be used directly, but the controllers above have not directed civil aviation, and need to be retrained. There are tow trucks, but passenger lift trucks, shuttle buses and related ground service personnel are all shortfalls. Mr. Xu, if you do what you want, you may have to spend a lot of money.”
Xu Cang didn't change his face: "I know."
"Then can you tell me why you did this?" Meng Zihao said seriously: "Or, Mr. Xu, why do you want the right to operate the airport?"
"Naturally, it is for the absolute priority of our Spring Airlines in Jinghong Airport." Xu Cang said, "Only by privatizing it can I build it without reservation. I don't want my efforts to be wedding dresses for others." .”
Xu Cang's words are easy to understand, but there is actually another problem reflected in the words, that is, Xu Cang is very optimistic about the future of Jinghong Airport.
"Do you think Jinghong will develop very well in the future?" Meng Zihao didn't understand why Xu Cang was sure that Jinghong's future was worth such an investment.
"That's right!" Xu Cang said bluntly: "Just like I set the company in Erhai Lake, I am also optimistic about the future of Jinghong. So, can you accept my conditions?"
"Privatization!"
In fact, Meng Zihao was already quite tempted by Xu Cang's proposal for assistance.There is no way, this plan is too detailed, and I can't wait to renovate Jinghong Airport in all aspects, so they don't have to worry about it at all.
Moreover, according to director Hu Ming's evaluation of Xu Cang, it was basically positive and positive.Compared with Jinghong Airport in Xu Cang's hands, it will not be tossed.
Regardless of the plan, or the person who put forward the plan is the best choice, how can Meng Zihao not be tempted?
It's just that the conditions for the privatization obviously couldn't be turned around in Meng Zihao's mind, and he couldn't hastily agree to Xu Cang's request to privatize Jinghong Airport in this place anyway.
Even though there are precedents in China and the privatization of airports has become a trend, the privatization of such a large civil facility as the airport is still inconceivable to Meng Zihao.
"Mr. Xu, since your reason is to guarantee the priority of Spring Airlines in Jinghong Airport in the future, then I can promise you here that Jinghong Airport will give the greatest priority in all aspects in the future, if necessary I can even sign an agreement with you, how about it?" Meng Zihao asked: "Does that mean there is no need for privatization?"
"No!" However, Xu Cang shook his head directly: "I never put my future on others, even if I signed an agreement."
Jinghong Airport is an extremely important part of Xu Cang's future planning, and the investment will be huge, so Xu Cang must hold it firmly in his hands.
"This..." Seeing Xu Cang's firm attitude, Meng Zihao couldn't help looking at Hu Ming, hoping that Hu Ming would mediate.
However, Xu Cang had already stood up slowly: "Mr. Meng, you have already explained your difficulties and my conditions, so we will wait for your choice."
Meng Zihao's heart skipped a beat, and it could be seen that Xu Cang had already issued an order to evict the guest.It seemed that at the end of the conversation, Xu Cang was already a little unhappy.
Meng Zihao hummed: "Mr. Xu, from a personal point of view, I can understand you. But the privatization of the airport has a great impact, so I have to go back and ask for instructions."
Xu Cang nodded slightly: "I will wait for the good news from Boss Meng at Erhai Lake."
After finishing speaking, Meng Zihao said goodbye to Xu Cang and Qin Xin again, and left cleanly without any delay.
"Xu Cang, then I'll go first too." Hu Ming said.
"Go." Xu Cang nodded, "I've been working hard lately."
Hu Ming waved his hand: "Pay attention to your health. By the way, the subsidy plan for the intra-provincial routes centered on Jianchuan has been released. I will go back to Erhai Lake later. I will tell you more about it."
After speaking, Hu Ming quickly followed Meng Zihao.
When Hu Ming and Meng Zihao walked away, Xu Cang sat down slowly again, and placed his fingers on the stone table rhythmically. It could be seen that Xu Cang had thoughts.
Qin Xin originally wanted to complain to Xu Cang, but seeing Xu Cang's worried appearance, he couldn't open his mouth, so he could only ask softly: "If Jinghong agrees, where did you get it?" So much money? According to what you said, we will have to spend close to [-] million."
"Completion of flight procedures is imminent, and other expenditures can be taken out one after another. For example, the terminal building can only be opened when the passenger flow is small at the beginning, and construction will continue while it is running. The cycle is stretched and the pressure is high. It's small."
"No matter how long the cycle is, it won't change the fact that we have no cash flow in the short term." Qin Xin snorted slightly.
Xu Cang shouted: "If it's not enough, try to get a loan."
Qin Xin's heart tightened: "Xu Cang, is Jinghong Airport really that important? Even if you are under so much pressure, you have to take it down?"
Speaking of this, Xu Cang turned his head and faced Qin Xin: "In 20 years, as long as Jinghong Airport is won, it will be our strongest profit growth point for at least the next 20 years."
"20 years?" Even though Qin Xin believed in Xu Cang very much, she still couldn't believe it at this time. 20 years is too long, and history will change because of a small fluctuation, let alone what will happen 20 years later: "Xu Cang, are you being too reckless this time?"
Xu Cang suddenly smiled, and gently stroked Qin Xin's head with his right hand: "Just listen to me."
Qin Xin didn't evade, just blinked her eyes, and said with a little worry: "Even if I want to listen to you, where does the money come from? Go to the bank for a loan. I don't know if the bank will give us a loan."
Xu Cang remained silent, he actually also had this concern.Can their company's assets give banks enough confidence to lend money to them.Xu Cang is not very clear about financial operations, so he doesn't have much confidence, so he can only take this step first.
However, although many enterprises are operated by loans, Xu Cang doesn't like to owe people money very much.As long as he owes money to others, Xu Cang has no sense of security. It seems that he will make an exception this time.
Xu Cang and Qin Xin waited for a while in the hospital until all the test results came out and the doctor confirmed that there was no problem before they went to the hotel together.
Due to the delay at the hospital, if we go back to Erhai Lake by land, it will take a long time at night.Unless it was absolutely necessary, it was better not to take the night road in the mountains, so the two decided to stay in Jianchuan for one night first, and then go back tomorrow.
As a result, Qin Xin contacted the Erhai base to find out that the base is organizing routine adjustment activities twice a month. After learning that Xu Cang and Qin Xin are both in Jianchuan, the Erhai base is adjusting the time. The application was adjusted and changed to tomorrow afternoon, so Xu Cang and Qin Xin happened to take the transfer plane back to Erhai Lake.
That night, Xu Cang and Qin Xin booked a hotel.Xu Cang really hoped that there would be a scene where there was only one big bed room left, but how could there be so much good luck in the world?
After Xu Cang settled the hotel room, he went out with Qin Xin to find something to eat.
The hotel the two of them stayed in was not a luxury hotel. It was near the university, and the back street was full of small stalls at night. Xu Cang liked the atmosphere of these small stalls the most.
Qin Xin's taste is relatively bland, and she's not used to things like barbecue fried skewers from roadside stalls.But Xu Cang just liked this kind of thing. He held roasted quail in one hand and fried tofu in the other. Qin Xin also helped Xu Cang hold a box of squid on iron plates.Xu Cang was eating here, his eyes were still dangling from the stalls on both sides, to see who his next target would be.
"Aren't you from Weiyang's side? The taste should be relatively light. How can you enjoy such a strong taste?" Qin Xin followed Xu Cang, holding a squid on a plate, and looked at it with the other hand Looking at Xu Cang's mouth.
Xu Cang didn't eat well, he was so rough that his mouth was covered with stains and oily water, Qin Xin followed beside him and wiped Xu Cang's mouth.
Xu Cang was chewing something, and he was still busy answering Qin Xin, speaking vaguely: "Who said Weiyang people don't like strong flavors?"
As Xu Cang said, he pointed to a roasted pig’s trotter stand in front of him: “That roasted trotter’s trotter is very good, and there’s a grilled oyster and scallop with vermicelli. Over there, there is another place that sells egg waffles, tsk tsk tsk, the smell is very strong, let's go to the front and buy one."
"Eat so much, don't overeat." Qin Xin didn't deliberately stop Xu Cang, but Xu Cang had already eaten a portion of finger cakes and rice noodles before, and there were still a lot of things in his hand, so he would eat egg waffles. Where can the stomach take it?
Xu Cang shook his head: "It's okay, I have a measure."
"You still have points." Halfway through Qin Xin's words, the barbecue stall next to her suddenly exploded with oil, which startled Qin Xin.The section of road they are walking now is basically a place where barbecues gather, and the oily smoke is heavy, which makes Qin Xin a little unhappy, so she can't help but push Xu Cang: "Go faster, it's a bit choking."
Xu Cang laughed, it's normal that Qin Xin doesn't like this kind of place, Xu Cang won't think she's being hypocritical, but just followed her wish and walked a little faster, so as to leave this section earlier.
On the way, Xu Cang smiled and said to Qin Xin: "Let me tell you, this is not oily smoke, it's called fireworks. Do you know where my best dining experience is? It's not in any luxurious restaurant, but in my university When I was a child, I went to the Internet cafe with my classmates on weekends, and ordered a piece of fried rice at the stalls in the back street of the school. We squatted around the roadside and talked about the game we just played while eating. Now I think about it. I feel that that time was really the happiest time. However, at that time, it seemed that many of them were not called Internet cafes, but computer rooms.”
Xu Cang was talking about getting excited, recalling the past turbulent years, tilting his head just to meet Qin Xin's incomparably beautiful face, he immediately pulled back from the memory, and smiled dryly: "It seems that you are not the kind who plays computer games, squatting on the road It looks like eating fried rice."
"Are you disappointed?" Qin Xin suddenly said, "I still think that because of this, I have no common language with you?"
"Tsk." Xu Cang suddenly felt speechless, this woman's thinking jump was even more exaggerated than his, and the topic of fried rice was transferred to the common language when getting along.
At the moment, Xu Cang was about to explain, but he felt that his phone was vibrating in his pocket, so he stuffed the fried tofu in his hand to Qin Xin, took out the phone and looked at it, the number looked familiar, it was from Jianchuan, but he didn't make any notes .
After thinking for a while, Xu Cang still connected the phone, and soon Wang Xuan's voice came from the opposite side: "Xu Cang, I heard from the people in your base that you are in Jianchuan now, is that right? I have something to tell you Say."
"Well, I'm in Jianchuan, what's the matter?"
"Where are you, I'll find you."
Xu Cang glanced at Qin Xin, covered the phone's microphone, and first asked Qin Xin's opinion: "The chief engineer of Blue Sky Airlines came to see me, can you see me?"
"See you, just stop for a while to digest food."
Xu Cang was stunned for a moment, and Qin Xin was the only one who could speak out when talking about serious business.
"Okay." Xu Cang smiled, and immediately responded to Wang Xuan: "I'm at the back street of Forestry University, come here."
"Okay, okay, about 10 minutes, I'll be there."
After hanging up the phone, Xu Cang plunged into the turmoil again, among other things, he dealt with the things on hand first.I went back to the Erhai Lake, but there was nothing delicious.
As a result, 15 minutes later, Wang Xuan came over in a hurry.Xu Cang found a noodle shop, the three of them went in, and Xu Cang ordered a bowl of noodles in clear soup. Neither Wang Xuan nor Qin Xin had any appetite.
"I just focused on eating snacks and didn't eat any staple food. President Wang doesn't mind, right?" Xu Cang still respected Wang Xuan, and asked Wang Xuan's opinion before eating. difference.
"Xu Cang, don't call me Mr. Wang, I can't stand it, just call me Wang Xuan." Wang Xuan said, looking at Xu Cang thoughtfully: "Xu Cang, there was a British Airways flight in Jakarta yesterday. When we reached the volcanic ash, the forced landing was successful."
"That's right." There was no special reaction on Xu Cang's face, and he just focused on eating the noodles.
Wang Xuan looked at Xu Cang's expression with some strangeness: "I heard that the plane turned on reverse thrust in the air, and the No. [-] engine even exploded."
Xu Cang stopped eating noodles immediately, and said with a smile: "Mr. Wang, are you here in such a hurry to talk to me about this? If so, then I know, please go ahead."
Wang Xuan was startled, and immediately waved his hands: "No, no, just casually exchange foreign civil aviation news. Let's talk business, talk business."
"Yeah." Xu Cang started eating noodles again.
"Xu Cang, the matter is not complicated. Well, we just want Teacher Mo Shangyun to come back, can you let me go?"
Xu Cang raised his head abruptly: "Didn't it be agreed before that all the people on our side will be kept, and if you want to go back on your word, isn't that bad?"
"No, no, we didn't mean to backtrack on what we said, there was a reason for it." Wang Xuan said hastily.
"what?"
Wang Xuan struggled for a while, but confessed: "Our company is planning to open routes in snowy areas recently, and Jianchuan will fly more. However, the altitude of this airport is too high, and the low-air flow changes drastically. No one in the fleet dares to fly. , There must be an experienced instructor to take it for a period of time."
"So, you thought of Teacher Mo Shangyun?" Xu Cang understood it, but there were still some problems: "No, your old teachers are not only Teacher Mo Shangyun, you have to ask us for someone?"
"That's impossible." Wang Xuan was full of helplessness: "First of all, even among the old teachers, Teacher Mo Shangyun's skills are top-notch. It must be no problem to fly the young captain and teacher. Our young generation The theoretical stuff is solid enough, but in terms of hands-on skills, it still has to be done by seniors. In addition, teacher Mo Shangyun has the best physical fitness among the old teachers. You also know that some airports are high-altitude airports, and some Young people have strong altitude sickness when they go there, let alone the old teachers. Two or three old teachers who are about the same level as Mo Shangyun have heart stents installed, where can they go?"
Good guy, it turned out to be the truth!
To put it simply, the young captain and instructor have physical fitness but insufficient hands-on skills, and cannot cope with the harsh low-altitude environment of some high-altitude airports.The old teacher has skills, but his body does not allow him, so he will definitely not be able to fly.
Therefore, only an old instructor like Mo Shangyun who is strong enough and has top-notch skills will take the young captain instructor to fly one more time, and bring the young captain instructor to be familiar with some airports, so there will be no need for Mo in the future. Shang Yun.
Wang Xuan came here with the help of Mo Shangyun.
"I heard that your application for establishing an airline company in the bureau has been approved. We are simply transferring personnel this time, and we can pay compensation." Wang Xuan thought for a while: "It's really not possible, seconded for a while It’s also okay, as long as we bring out our pilot instructor.”
Xu Cang curled his lips: "You guys are very well informed, you even know that our application to form an airline company has been approved."
"The civil aviation circle in China is so big. If you have the heart, you can find out a lot of things." Wang Xuan said: "Xu Cang, don't worry, we will never treat Teacher Mo badly. Except for the double hourly fee of the high-altitude flight itself. , the flight will be multiplied by an additional factor, which is three times the hourly fee, and the high-altitude landing fee is calculated based on [-] minutes. There is also a fixed plateau subsidy every month, as well as a special recuperation vacation."
Xu Cang waved his hand: "Don't tell me that, tell Teacher Mo."
"I have already called Teacher Mo to ask about it. Teacher Mo said to listen to you. You can agree, or disagree." Wang Xuan's eyes revealed anxiety and nervousness. This is the flight department he took over from Lu Jinghua. It is the first big task after taking the post of general manager. If it fails, it will be quite embarrassing.
"What else? Did you tell Teacher Mo all the conditions?"
"It's natural." Wang Xuan replied: "Xu Cang, Teacher Mo came here according to your wishes. Whether it's the normal flow of personnel or a short-term secondment, we will definitely reward you heavily."
"It seems that some routes in the snow area are indeed promising." Xu Cang suddenly laughed and put down his chopsticks.
Last night, his master Chen Xiangdong told him that the profit margins of these routes are very high.In fact, even Chen Xiangdong couldn't figure out the reason. If the snow area is more developed, it certainly doesn't count.However, routes in snowy regions, especially routes in provincial capitals, have high ticket prices all year round, and never discount them, catching up with the golden routes between hubs such as Hanjing-Yangcheng, and the seat rate is quite high.
If it is said that other than Hanjing, Yangcheng and Shanghai, the other places are the most profitable, it is the most profitable routes.Chen Xiangdong couldn't figure out what the internal logic was, but it was just like this in terms of market reaction, and Chen Xiangdong just told Xu Cang the result.
In fact, Xu Cang also found it incredible when he heard the news at first.Places with good civil aviation resources, either because of high economic value or high tourism value, seem to be out of reach.
At first, Xu Cang wondered if it was related to the rise of tourism in snow areas later on?After all, it is on the roof of the world, so it naturally has a sense of mystery, and it is a good place to travel.
However, the altitude in some areas is really too high, and there are serious altitude sickness at every turn, which restricts the number of tourists there.It is not suitable for all ages like Jinghong or Qiongzhou in the future, where the number of tourists can be called endless.There must be some people playing here, but the number is definitely not explosive, at least it cannot support the exaggerated attendance rate under the high ticket price.
Therefore, there is a difference between some logical things and actual performance.However, Chen Xiangdong could see clearly that he was not doing market analysis, he only needed to know the results.
The high profits of these routes have been going on for a while, and it is estimated that this strange hot situation will continue for a while in the future. It is Chen Xiangdong's advice to Xu Cang to let Xu Cang eat this profit as soon as possible.
However, it is different from Chen Xiangdong's idea of only looking at the result and not the process.Xu Cang has a certain demand for knowledge of the reason, so last night he was hesitant when he mentioned to Chen Xiangdong that he would be allowed to enter some routes.But after meeting Wang Xuan today, Xu Cang became convinced of Chen Xiangdong's proposal.
It seems that these areas are really a sweet pastry.
Wang Xuan instinctively sensed something was wrong: "Xu Cang, what do you mean by that?"
"I mean, if you don't have a crew to fly the money for these routes, you might as well give it to us and stop flying, what a waste." Xu Cang smiled and said, "Mr. Wang, is that the truth?"
While speaking, Xu Cang's eyes suddenly focused on a table behind Wang Xuan.There were two men sitting there, very similar in appearance, they seemed to be brothers, and it just so happened that Xu Cang knew these two men.
However, Xu Cang does not plan to alarm them yet.
"You" Wang Xuan never imagined that Xu Cang wanted to eat some routes because he was leading wolves into the house: "Xu Cang, these routes are high-altitude routes, and not everyone can fly them. If you really want to share It’s not impossible, we can jointly operate this route, and you can also learn how to operate high plateau routes, how about it?”
This was already the most generous condition that Wang Xuan could offer.
However, Xu Cang shook his head: "I'm sorry, I can eat it alone, why should I share a part?"
Wang Xuan's face changed suddenly, and Xu Cang was almost expressing his attitude: "Xu Cang, how to obtain and maintain the qualifications of the high-altitude flight crew, and what are the characteristics of high-altitude operation, you have no experience at all, what do you use to fly?"
"You guys have it, but why can't you fly?" Xu Cang laughed: "In the end, what you said are all theoretical issues, but this one is the simplest. The most difficult thing about the high-altitude route is the operation. problem, which happens to be something we can fix."
Theoretically, the problem is indeed easy to deal with. If it’s really not possible, it’s okay to ask the local regulatory bureau with a cheeky face.However, it is the most troublesome thing to control the aircraft in the environment of thin air and turbulent air flow on the high plateau, and this kind of control problem is honed by the pilot's accumulated skills over time, and there is no shortcut at all.
Therefore, when Blue Sky Airlines wanted to operate some routes, it had to spend a lot of money to get Mo Shangyun back.Xu Cang estimated that there are not many airlines that can fly to these routes in the whole country. Will this lead to few flights to these routes, thus pushing up the prices of some routes virtually?
No matter what, they have instructor Mo Shangyun, so they can take a large number of their own captains.After time has accumulated, the captains will be able to gradually figure out the characteristics of some airports, and then they will be able to take care of themselves in the future.
They can solve the most troublesome problems, so why not do it yourself?
"This" Wang Xuan was speechless by Xu Cang's words, it was just a matter of conversation, how could Xu Cang cut off this matter?It shouldn't be, such a matter can't be decided so quickly, Xu Cang seems to have an idea before they talk.
Wang Xuan was right. If his master Chen Xiangdong hadn’t mentioned last night that these routes would be extremely profitable routes, based on the conversation with Wang Xuan today, Xu Cang wouldn’t be so reckless. The idea of opening some logical routes.
It can only be said that the fate is wonderful, and the statements of Chen Xiangdong and Wang Xuan just confirmed each other, directly eliminating Xu Cang's link of seeking proof.
"If you want to fly, you have to apply for a flight route, don't you think it's troublesome?" Wang Xuan shouted: "Also, don't you think it's strange that Erhai Lake flies more?"
"Luoxie is not Hanjing, Yangcheng or Shanghai. It is a bit difficult to apply, but it is definitely not very high. As for the Erhai-Luoxie route, it is really strange. Wouldn't it be enough to add a stop in the middle? How about Jianchuan? Erhai-Jianchuan-do you like it?" Xu Cang said with a smile, "It happens to be a four-way flight back and forth, and I think many pilots will be quite happy to fly."
Anyway, he has already planned to develop the intra-provincial route. The Erhai-Jianchuan section must be applied for. Later, he will apply for Jianchuan-Logo separately. Isn't the combination of the two perfect?
Wang Xuan's face darkened, and he could only say that the route Xu Cang arranged was really good, adding Jianchuan in the middle made everything straighten out.
"Xu Cang, do you really think it's so easy to fly high on the plateau?" Wang Xuan said in a deep voice, "The theory in many places is not the same as the reality. I heard that you recruited some pilots from Muhua. Those who came from Muhua Pilots fly to plain airports every day, and they don’t even know how to fly to plateau airports. Do you want to train them to fly to high plateaus? Then you have to practice until the year of the monkey? If your pilots can’t be trained, they can’t be independent, and you can’t let instructor Mo lead the team every time. Well, he has a rest period."
It can only be said that Wang Xuan still has some skills, and he immediately pointed out Xu Cang's weakness, which is the lack of personnel.Indeed, most of Xu Cang's pilots are now from Muhua Airlines, and the pilots there are basically flying to plain airports, and they rarely see the flying conditions of plateau or even high plateau airports.
However, the thrust attenuation of high plateau airports is quite severe during approach, which is much worse than that of plain airports.If you don't have experience, if you land at Pingyuan Airport, seven or eight out of ten the plane will hit the road hard, which is quite dangerous.
And those captains who are used to flying to plain airports can't change their operating concepts and methods in a short while, so even if instructor Mo Shangyun can lead a large number of flights, it still needs to grow to the level of being able to lead high-altitude routes alone. Too long and not very efficient.
However, in comparison, although Blue Sky Airlines does not have many high-altitude routes, there are many high-altitude routes, and the two are somewhat similar. This makes the pilots of Blue Sky Airlines have relatively better foundations, and the effect of training is natural. also good.
No way, this is the inherent advantage.When Xu Cang's Spring and Summer Airlines was first established, there were still not enough manpower available.
However, faced with this question that directly hits the soul, Xu Cang was not in a hurry, and some jokes: "Mr. Wang, do you know who among the seven base airlines in the entire Jianchuan Airport working area is the most experienced in operating high-altitude routes?" ?”
Wang Xuan was startled: "What do you mean?"
Xu Cang grinned, revealing a mouthful of white teeth, looking very happy.Suddenly, Xu Cang raised his left hand, pointed behind Wang Xuan, and said slowly, "It's Feiyu Airlines!"
Wang Xuan's face suddenly changed, and he turned around suddenly, and found that there were two men in their 30s eating and chatting in the direction of Xu Cang's finger.Perhaps feeling something, the two men looked towards Xu Cang, and when they saw Xu Cang's face clearly, they were stunned.
The two yelled at the same time: "Xu Cang!?"
(End of this chapter)
After chatting with Meng Zihao for a long time, Xu Cang felt that Jinghong really couldn't get the money out.Sure enough, the very beginning of starting a business is the most difficult, and everything has to be invested.
At the end of the chat, the atmosphere seemed a little gloomy, and Xu Cang was not in a good mood.The 2000 million really killed him.
There are actually not many predictable profit growth points for Spring and Summer Airlines, and the more reliable ones are the future intra-provincial routes.However, the intra-provincial routes probably belong to the type of small profits but quick turnover. There are profits, but it is definitely not a case of profit explosion.It will take at least eight more years to really wait for the peak of the provincial routes.
At that time, the tourism reputation of many cities in the province had already been established, and as time went by, people's living standards improved, and they could no longer meet the most basic needs of life, and began to spend more money on entertainment projects, such as travel.
Jinghong, Erhai, and Yulong are all well-known. Tourists from outside the province usually choose to go to Jianchuan first, and then travel around the province by plane from Jianchuan. This will provide large and high-quality passenger routes for the province’s routes source.
By that time, the intra-province route will truly become a strong engine of profit.
However, the intra-provincial routes will decline in the future, but Jinghong Airport can bring Xu Cang 20 years of profits. It's pretty scary already.
"Xu Cang, this is the situation. There is no financial allocation and the required amount is huge. I'm afraid it's not easy to handle." Hu Ming said worriedly.
Seeing how anxious Meng Zihao was these days, Hu Ming couldn't help but rejoice that the situation at Erhai Airport was still better than that at Jinghong Airport.Back then, when Erhai Airport was being built, the possibility of operating large civil airliners was considered, so mainstream airliners were considered in the program design, so it can be directly applied to commercial operations, saving a lot of money .
Xu Cang was silent for a long time, of course he knew that the matter was difficult to handle, but it had to be done if it was difficult to handle, this point Xu Cang figured it out.
Sending charcoal in the snow is not the icing on the cake. Now that Jinghong Airport is encountering difficulties, if you help yourself, you will definitely receive a huge return.
"Manager Meng, if I pay you for the programming, I want to know what I can get?" Xu Cang said seriously.
As soon as these words came out, the expression on Qin Xin's face changed suddenly, and she almost interrupted Xu Cang's words. Earlier, she hinted that Xu Cang should not get involved, but why did Xu Cang forget it in a blink of an eye?
Qin Xin could see clearly that Jinghong Airport was just a matter of flight procedures.Unlike Erhai Airport, Jinghong Airport had no civil purpose when it was designed, so not only is the program lacking, but the airport may not be able to keep up with the supporting facilities.
They really want Jinghong Airport to operate commercially. It seems that even if the flight procedures are completed, it will not be enough. There will be a lot of expenses in the future. Now their own finances are already struggling. Jinghong Airport?
Xu Cang's words are very naked, because if he wants to help Jinghong Airport realize commercialization, then he must pay a huge price.And Xu Cang wanted to make sure that after paying the price, he would get a reason worth doing.
Facing Xu Cang's words about how to benefit, Meng Zihao didn't know how to answer for a while.Of course, he didn't dislike Xu Cang's straightforwardness, but he didn't know what Jinghong Airport could offer Xu Cang.
The initial investment of 2000 million yuan is a sky-high price in this era.Even if Xu Cang provided funds out of seeking benefits, Meng Zihao was extremely grateful.
He also thought about whether he could find some private investors to invest in Jinghong Airport.However, for Jinghong, a poor city on the border, no investors are interested at all.
What's more, even if these people are willing to invest in Jinghong Airport, Meng Zihao doesn't want to let these people in unless it is absolutely necessary, because the industry is like a mountain, let alone a highly specialized industry like civil aviation.
Things might have been a little better if investors had been more enlightened.But if investors don't understand anything and still like to point fingers, it will bring endless troubles to the subsequent operation of the airport.
Meng Zihao thought for a while: "What do you want?"
As soon as Meng Zihao's words came out, Qin Xin didn't care about any secrets. She immediately grabbed Xu Cang's hand and shook her head towards Xu Cang. This attitude was quite obvious.
When Meng Zihao saw Qin Xin's statement, his face immediately turned pale, and he felt bad.
However, Xu Cang broke free from Qin Xin's small hand, patted the back of Qin Xin's hand with his backhand, and then said to Meng Zihao, "I want the shares of Jinghong Airport."
"It's natural." Meng Zihao didn't even think about it: "If you invest in shares, of course you have shares."
Xu Cang shook his head: "President Meng, I think you have misunderstood. The shares I want are not just for dividends, I mean to directly participate in the operation and management of Jinghong Airport."
As soon as this remark came out, Meng Zihao Huo stood up, and he said in disbelief: "Are you going to partially privatize Jinghong Airport?"
"That's right! If you want my help, the price is the partial privatization of Jinghong Airport." Xu Cang added: "You should also have heard from Director Hu that our Spring and Summer Airlines is also in its infancy, and the funds are very tight. .With so much money to help Jinghong Airport, if it’s just for dividends, then I have more and better channels, so I want something more thorough.”
At this moment, not only Meng Zihao, Qin Xin and Hu Ming were shocked by Xu Cang's wild and boundless ambition.For privatization, Xu Cang even partially privatized Jinghong Airport. This idea is really as wild as his flying skills.
Meng Zihao was still a little confused, he probably never thought that Xu Cang would make such a request.In his mind, does the airport still have privatization?
"Can the airport be privatized?" Meng Zihao asked with a guilty conscience.
Xu Cang raised his chin: "Why not? Longwan Airport, Changle Airport, Liuji Airport and Jinjiang Airport are all privatized self-funded airports. There are already precedents in China. Although Jinghong Airport is not newly built, it has never been carried out before. Commercial operation is no different from new construction.”
"This." Even though Xu Cang said that there was a precedent in the country, Meng Zihao obviously still couldn't make a decision: "Mr. Xu, your condition is really beyond my expectations."
The change in Meng Zihao's mood can also be seen from the title Meng Zihao gave to Xu Cang.
In the beginning, Meng Zihao called Xu Cang his little brother, and he was relatively relaxed, but now he has become a very formal Mr. Xu, which shows how much Xu Cang's words had an impact on Meng Zihao.
The hesitation on Meng Zihao's face did not last long, and he finally said dejectedly: "Mr. Xu, I am very grateful for your attention to our Jinghong Airport, but the proposal of partial privatization of the airport is really beyond my understanding. Perhaps, the commercial operation of Jinghong Airport can only wait until five years later.”
When Hu Ming heard this, his face changed: "Mr. Meng, five years, that's a full five years. The wave of the new era is so fierce, if you can't catch up, you will have to miss it forever. Opportunities wait for no one."
Hearing what Hu Ming said, Meng Zihao felt sad again.How can he not understand the current situation in the whole country? I don't know.
Five years, five years is too long.Undoubtedly, five years later it will be a different situation.
"Perhaps, this is Jinghong's fate." Meng Zihao sighed heavily, seeming to accept his fate.
However, Xu Cang said at this moment: "It seems that Mr. Meng still doesn't fully understand my determination. Let's put it this way, as long as Jinghong Airport agrees to give up the right to operate, we will not only complete the procedures, but also improve the supporting facilities. It will also help with construction and staff training.”
"Xu Cang!" At this point, Qin Xin couldn't bear it anymore, Xu Cang knew about the problems at Jinghong Airport.
Since it has never operated civil aviation, Jinghong Airport actually needs a lot of investment in facilities and personnel except for a runway.
For example, renovating the terminal building and conducting civil aviation training for ground and control personnel, all of which cost money.
You know, with such investment, Xu Cang is almost equivalent to rebuilding Jinghong Airport inside and out again, and the expenditure is really too high.
However, when Qin Xin almost explicitly refused, Xu Cang still insisted on going his own way, and he didn't seem to change his mind at all.Even though Qin Xin was in a hurry, on this occasion, he couldn't directly refute Xu Cang's face and make the decision for Xu Cang.
"Mr. Meng, this is my greatest sincerity. If you still feel that you can't accept it, then you can only say that we have no destiny." This is Xu Cang's bottom line, and it is also the biggest price Xu Cang can pay. More than Xu Cang can bear.
Meng Zihao opened his mouth, and finally said: "Mr. Xu, let me tell you frankly. Our airport does not have a dedicated civil aviation terminal, and the tower can be used directly, but the controllers above have not directed civil aviation, and need to be retrained. There are tow trucks, but passenger lift trucks, shuttle buses and related ground service personnel are all shortfalls. Mr. Xu, if you do what you want, you may have to spend a lot of money.”
Xu Cang didn't change his face: "I know."
"Then can you tell me why you did this?" Meng Zihao said seriously: "Or, Mr. Xu, why do you want the right to operate the airport?"
"Naturally, it is for the absolute priority of our Spring Airlines in Jinghong Airport." Xu Cang said, "Only by privatizing it can I build it without reservation. I don't want my efforts to be wedding dresses for others." .”
Xu Cang's words are easy to understand, but there is actually another problem reflected in the words, that is, Xu Cang is very optimistic about the future of Jinghong Airport.
"Do you think Jinghong will develop very well in the future?" Meng Zihao didn't understand why Xu Cang was sure that Jinghong's future was worth such an investment.
"That's right!" Xu Cang said bluntly: "Just like I set the company in Erhai Lake, I am also optimistic about the future of Jinghong. So, can you accept my conditions?"
"Privatization!"
In fact, Meng Zihao was already quite tempted by Xu Cang's proposal for assistance.There is no way, this plan is too detailed, and I can't wait to renovate Jinghong Airport in all aspects, so they don't have to worry about it at all.
Moreover, according to director Hu Ming's evaluation of Xu Cang, it was basically positive and positive.Compared with Jinghong Airport in Xu Cang's hands, it will not be tossed.
Regardless of the plan, or the person who put forward the plan is the best choice, how can Meng Zihao not be tempted?
It's just that the conditions for the privatization obviously couldn't be turned around in Meng Zihao's mind, and he couldn't hastily agree to Xu Cang's request to privatize Jinghong Airport in this place anyway.
Even though there are precedents in China and the privatization of airports has become a trend, the privatization of such a large civil facility as the airport is still inconceivable to Meng Zihao.
"Mr. Xu, since your reason is to guarantee the priority of Spring Airlines in Jinghong Airport in the future, then I can promise you here that Jinghong Airport will give the greatest priority in all aspects in the future, if necessary I can even sign an agreement with you, how about it?" Meng Zihao asked: "Does that mean there is no need for privatization?"
"No!" However, Xu Cang shook his head directly: "I never put my future on others, even if I signed an agreement."
Jinghong Airport is an extremely important part of Xu Cang's future planning, and the investment will be huge, so Xu Cang must hold it firmly in his hands.
"This..." Seeing Xu Cang's firm attitude, Meng Zihao couldn't help looking at Hu Ming, hoping that Hu Ming would mediate.
However, Xu Cang had already stood up slowly: "Mr. Meng, you have already explained your difficulties and my conditions, so we will wait for your choice."
Meng Zihao's heart skipped a beat, and it could be seen that Xu Cang had already issued an order to evict the guest.It seemed that at the end of the conversation, Xu Cang was already a little unhappy.
Meng Zihao hummed: "Mr. Xu, from a personal point of view, I can understand you. But the privatization of the airport has a great impact, so I have to go back and ask for instructions."
Xu Cang nodded slightly: "I will wait for the good news from Boss Meng at Erhai Lake."
After finishing speaking, Meng Zihao said goodbye to Xu Cang and Qin Xin again, and left cleanly without any delay.
"Xu Cang, then I'll go first too." Hu Ming said.
"Go." Xu Cang nodded, "I've been working hard lately."
Hu Ming waved his hand: "Pay attention to your health. By the way, the subsidy plan for the intra-provincial routes centered on Jianchuan has been released. I will go back to Erhai Lake later. I will tell you more about it."
After speaking, Hu Ming quickly followed Meng Zihao.
When Hu Ming and Meng Zihao walked away, Xu Cang sat down slowly again, and placed his fingers on the stone table rhythmically. It could be seen that Xu Cang had thoughts.
Qin Xin originally wanted to complain to Xu Cang, but seeing Xu Cang's worried appearance, he couldn't open his mouth, so he could only ask softly: "If Jinghong agrees, where did you get it?" So much money? According to what you said, we will have to spend close to [-] million."
"Completion of flight procedures is imminent, and other expenditures can be taken out one after another. For example, the terminal building can only be opened when the passenger flow is small at the beginning, and construction will continue while it is running. The cycle is stretched and the pressure is high. It's small."
"No matter how long the cycle is, it won't change the fact that we have no cash flow in the short term." Qin Xin snorted slightly.
Xu Cang shouted: "If it's not enough, try to get a loan."
Qin Xin's heart tightened: "Xu Cang, is Jinghong Airport really that important? Even if you are under so much pressure, you have to take it down?"
Speaking of this, Xu Cang turned his head and faced Qin Xin: "In 20 years, as long as Jinghong Airport is won, it will be our strongest profit growth point for at least the next 20 years."
"20 years?" Even though Qin Xin believed in Xu Cang very much, she still couldn't believe it at this time. 20 years is too long, and history will change because of a small fluctuation, let alone what will happen 20 years later: "Xu Cang, are you being too reckless this time?"
Xu Cang suddenly smiled, and gently stroked Qin Xin's head with his right hand: "Just listen to me."
Qin Xin didn't evade, just blinked her eyes, and said with a little worry: "Even if I want to listen to you, where does the money come from? Go to the bank for a loan. I don't know if the bank will give us a loan."
Xu Cang remained silent, he actually also had this concern.Can their company's assets give banks enough confidence to lend money to them.Xu Cang is not very clear about financial operations, so he doesn't have much confidence, so he can only take this step first.
However, although many enterprises are operated by loans, Xu Cang doesn't like to owe people money very much.As long as he owes money to others, Xu Cang has no sense of security. It seems that he will make an exception this time.
Xu Cang and Qin Xin waited for a while in the hospital until all the test results came out and the doctor confirmed that there was no problem before they went to the hotel together.
Due to the delay at the hospital, if we go back to Erhai Lake by land, it will take a long time at night.Unless it was absolutely necessary, it was better not to take the night road in the mountains, so the two decided to stay in Jianchuan for one night first, and then go back tomorrow.
As a result, Qin Xin contacted the Erhai base to find out that the base is organizing routine adjustment activities twice a month. After learning that Xu Cang and Qin Xin are both in Jianchuan, the Erhai base is adjusting the time. The application was adjusted and changed to tomorrow afternoon, so Xu Cang and Qin Xin happened to take the transfer plane back to Erhai Lake.
That night, Xu Cang and Qin Xin booked a hotel.Xu Cang really hoped that there would be a scene where there was only one big bed room left, but how could there be so much good luck in the world?
After Xu Cang settled the hotel room, he went out with Qin Xin to find something to eat.
The hotel the two of them stayed in was not a luxury hotel. It was near the university, and the back street was full of small stalls at night. Xu Cang liked the atmosphere of these small stalls the most.
Qin Xin's taste is relatively bland, and she's not used to things like barbecue fried skewers from roadside stalls.But Xu Cang just liked this kind of thing. He held roasted quail in one hand and fried tofu in the other. Qin Xin also helped Xu Cang hold a box of squid on iron plates.Xu Cang was eating here, his eyes were still dangling from the stalls on both sides, to see who his next target would be.
"Aren't you from Weiyang's side? The taste should be relatively light. How can you enjoy such a strong taste?" Qin Xin followed Xu Cang, holding a squid on a plate, and looked at it with the other hand Looking at Xu Cang's mouth.
Xu Cang didn't eat well, he was so rough that his mouth was covered with stains and oily water, Qin Xin followed beside him and wiped Xu Cang's mouth.
Xu Cang was chewing something, and he was still busy answering Qin Xin, speaking vaguely: "Who said Weiyang people don't like strong flavors?"
As Xu Cang said, he pointed to a roasted pig’s trotter stand in front of him: “That roasted trotter’s trotter is very good, and there’s a grilled oyster and scallop with vermicelli. Over there, there is another place that sells egg waffles, tsk tsk tsk, the smell is very strong, let's go to the front and buy one."
"Eat so much, don't overeat." Qin Xin didn't deliberately stop Xu Cang, but Xu Cang had already eaten a portion of finger cakes and rice noodles before, and there were still a lot of things in his hand, so he would eat egg waffles. Where can the stomach take it?
Xu Cang shook his head: "It's okay, I have a measure."
"You still have points." Halfway through Qin Xin's words, the barbecue stall next to her suddenly exploded with oil, which startled Qin Xin.The section of road they are walking now is basically a place where barbecues gather, and the oily smoke is heavy, which makes Qin Xin a little unhappy, so she can't help but push Xu Cang: "Go faster, it's a bit choking."
Xu Cang laughed, it's normal that Qin Xin doesn't like this kind of place, Xu Cang won't think she's being hypocritical, but just followed her wish and walked a little faster, so as to leave this section earlier.
On the way, Xu Cang smiled and said to Qin Xin: "Let me tell you, this is not oily smoke, it's called fireworks. Do you know where my best dining experience is? It's not in any luxurious restaurant, but in my university When I was a child, I went to the Internet cafe with my classmates on weekends, and ordered a piece of fried rice at the stalls in the back street of the school. We squatted around the roadside and talked about the game we just played while eating. Now I think about it. I feel that that time was really the happiest time. However, at that time, it seemed that many of them were not called Internet cafes, but computer rooms.”
Xu Cang was talking about getting excited, recalling the past turbulent years, tilting his head just to meet Qin Xin's incomparably beautiful face, he immediately pulled back from the memory, and smiled dryly: "It seems that you are not the kind who plays computer games, squatting on the road It looks like eating fried rice."
"Are you disappointed?" Qin Xin suddenly said, "I still think that because of this, I have no common language with you?"
"Tsk." Xu Cang suddenly felt speechless, this woman's thinking jump was even more exaggerated than his, and the topic of fried rice was transferred to the common language when getting along.
At the moment, Xu Cang was about to explain, but he felt that his phone was vibrating in his pocket, so he stuffed the fried tofu in his hand to Qin Xin, took out the phone and looked at it, the number looked familiar, it was from Jianchuan, but he didn't make any notes .
After thinking for a while, Xu Cang still connected the phone, and soon Wang Xuan's voice came from the opposite side: "Xu Cang, I heard from the people in your base that you are in Jianchuan now, is that right? I have something to tell you Say."
"Well, I'm in Jianchuan, what's the matter?"
"Where are you, I'll find you."
Xu Cang glanced at Qin Xin, covered the phone's microphone, and first asked Qin Xin's opinion: "The chief engineer of Blue Sky Airlines came to see me, can you see me?"
"See you, just stop for a while to digest food."
Xu Cang was stunned for a moment, and Qin Xin was the only one who could speak out when talking about serious business.
"Okay." Xu Cang smiled, and immediately responded to Wang Xuan: "I'm at the back street of Forestry University, come here."
"Okay, okay, about 10 minutes, I'll be there."
After hanging up the phone, Xu Cang plunged into the turmoil again, among other things, he dealt with the things on hand first.I went back to the Erhai Lake, but there was nothing delicious.
As a result, 15 minutes later, Wang Xuan came over in a hurry.Xu Cang found a noodle shop, the three of them went in, and Xu Cang ordered a bowl of noodles in clear soup. Neither Wang Xuan nor Qin Xin had any appetite.
"I just focused on eating snacks and didn't eat any staple food. President Wang doesn't mind, right?" Xu Cang still respected Wang Xuan, and asked Wang Xuan's opinion before eating. difference.
"Xu Cang, don't call me Mr. Wang, I can't stand it, just call me Wang Xuan." Wang Xuan said, looking at Xu Cang thoughtfully: "Xu Cang, there was a British Airways flight in Jakarta yesterday. When we reached the volcanic ash, the forced landing was successful."
"That's right." There was no special reaction on Xu Cang's face, and he just focused on eating the noodles.
Wang Xuan looked at Xu Cang's expression with some strangeness: "I heard that the plane turned on reverse thrust in the air, and the No. [-] engine even exploded."
Xu Cang stopped eating noodles immediately, and said with a smile: "Mr. Wang, are you here in such a hurry to talk to me about this? If so, then I know, please go ahead."
Wang Xuan was startled, and immediately waved his hands: "No, no, just casually exchange foreign civil aviation news. Let's talk business, talk business."
"Yeah." Xu Cang started eating noodles again.
"Xu Cang, the matter is not complicated. Well, we just want Teacher Mo Shangyun to come back, can you let me go?"
Xu Cang raised his head abruptly: "Didn't it be agreed before that all the people on our side will be kept, and if you want to go back on your word, isn't that bad?"
"No, no, we didn't mean to backtrack on what we said, there was a reason for it." Wang Xuan said hastily.
"what?"
Wang Xuan struggled for a while, but confessed: "Our company is planning to open routes in snowy areas recently, and Jianchuan will fly more. However, the altitude of this airport is too high, and the low-air flow changes drastically. No one in the fleet dares to fly. , There must be an experienced instructor to take it for a period of time."
"So, you thought of Teacher Mo Shangyun?" Xu Cang understood it, but there were still some problems: "No, your old teachers are not only Teacher Mo Shangyun, you have to ask us for someone?"
"That's impossible." Wang Xuan was full of helplessness: "First of all, even among the old teachers, Teacher Mo Shangyun's skills are top-notch. It must be no problem to fly the young captain and teacher. Our young generation The theoretical stuff is solid enough, but in terms of hands-on skills, it still has to be done by seniors. In addition, teacher Mo Shangyun has the best physical fitness among the old teachers. You also know that some airports are high-altitude airports, and some Young people have strong altitude sickness when they go there, let alone the old teachers. Two or three old teachers who are about the same level as Mo Shangyun have heart stents installed, where can they go?"
Good guy, it turned out to be the truth!
To put it simply, the young captain and instructor have physical fitness but insufficient hands-on skills, and cannot cope with the harsh low-altitude environment of some high-altitude airports.The old teacher has skills, but his body does not allow him, so he will definitely not be able to fly.
Therefore, only an old instructor like Mo Shangyun who is strong enough and has top-notch skills will take the young captain instructor to fly one more time, and bring the young captain instructor to be familiar with some airports, so there will be no need for Mo in the future. Shang Yun.
Wang Xuan came here with the help of Mo Shangyun.
"I heard that your application for establishing an airline company in the bureau has been approved. We are simply transferring personnel this time, and we can pay compensation." Wang Xuan thought for a while: "It's really not possible, seconded for a while It’s also okay, as long as we bring out our pilot instructor.”
Xu Cang curled his lips: "You guys are very well informed, you even know that our application to form an airline company has been approved."
"The civil aviation circle in China is so big. If you have the heart, you can find out a lot of things." Wang Xuan said: "Xu Cang, don't worry, we will never treat Teacher Mo badly. Except for the double hourly fee of the high-altitude flight itself. , the flight will be multiplied by an additional factor, which is three times the hourly fee, and the high-altitude landing fee is calculated based on [-] minutes. There is also a fixed plateau subsidy every month, as well as a special recuperation vacation."
Xu Cang waved his hand: "Don't tell me that, tell Teacher Mo."
"I have already called Teacher Mo to ask about it. Teacher Mo said to listen to you. You can agree, or disagree." Wang Xuan's eyes revealed anxiety and nervousness. This is the flight department he took over from Lu Jinghua. It is the first big task after taking the post of general manager. If it fails, it will be quite embarrassing.
"What else? Did you tell Teacher Mo all the conditions?"
"It's natural." Wang Xuan replied: "Xu Cang, Teacher Mo came here according to your wishes. Whether it's the normal flow of personnel or a short-term secondment, we will definitely reward you heavily."
"It seems that some routes in the snow area are indeed promising." Xu Cang suddenly laughed and put down his chopsticks.
Last night, his master Chen Xiangdong told him that the profit margins of these routes are very high.In fact, even Chen Xiangdong couldn't figure out the reason. If the snow area is more developed, it certainly doesn't count.However, routes in snowy regions, especially routes in provincial capitals, have high ticket prices all year round, and never discount them, catching up with the golden routes between hubs such as Hanjing-Yangcheng, and the seat rate is quite high.
If it is said that other than Hanjing, Yangcheng and Shanghai, the other places are the most profitable, it is the most profitable routes.Chen Xiangdong couldn't figure out what the internal logic was, but it was just like this in terms of market reaction, and Chen Xiangdong just told Xu Cang the result.
In fact, Xu Cang also found it incredible when he heard the news at first.Places with good civil aviation resources, either because of high economic value or high tourism value, seem to be out of reach.
At first, Xu Cang wondered if it was related to the rise of tourism in snow areas later on?After all, it is on the roof of the world, so it naturally has a sense of mystery, and it is a good place to travel.
However, the altitude in some areas is really too high, and there are serious altitude sickness at every turn, which restricts the number of tourists there.It is not suitable for all ages like Jinghong or Qiongzhou in the future, where the number of tourists can be called endless.There must be some people playing here, but the number is definitely not explosive, at least it cannot support the exaggerated attendance rate under the high ticket price.
Therefore, there is a difference between some logical things and actual performance.However, Chen Xiangdong could see clearly that he was not doing market analysis, he only needed to know the results.
The high profits of these routes have been going on for a while, and it is estimated that this strange hot situation will continue for a while in the future. It is Chen Xiangdong's advice to Xu Cang to let Xu Cang eat this profit as soon as possible.
However, it is different from Chen Xiangdong's idea of only looking at the result and not the process.Xu Cang has a certain demand for knowledge of the reason, so last night he was hesitant when he mentioned to Chen Xiangdong that he would be allowed to enter some routes.But after meeting Wang Xuan today, Xu Cang became convinced of Chen Xiangdong's proposal.
It seems that these areas are really a sweet pastry.
Wang Xuan instinctively sensed something was wrong: "Xu Cang, what do you mean by that?"
"I mean, if you don't have a crew to fly the money for these routes, you might as well give it to us and stop flying, what a waste." Xu Cang smiled and said, "Mr. Wang, is that the truth?"
While speaking, Xu Cang's eyes suddenly focused on a table behind Wang Xuan.There were two men sitting there, very similar in appearance, they seemed to be brothers, and it just so happened that Xu Cang knew these two men.
However, Xu Cang does not plan to alarm them yet.
"You" Wang Xuan never imagined that Xu Cang wanted to eat some routes because he was leading wolves into the house: "Xu Cang, these routes are high-altitude routes, and not everyone can fly them. If you really want to share It’s not impossible, we can jointly operate this route, and you can also learn how to operate high plateau routes, how about it?”
This was already the most generous condition that Wang Xuan could offer.
However, Xu Cang shook his head: "I'm sorry, I can eat it alone, why should I share a part?"
Wang Xuan's face changed suddenly, and Xu Cang was almost expressing his attitude: "Xu Cang, how to obtain and maintain the qualifications of the high-altitude flight crew, and what are the characteristics of high-altitude operation, you have no experience at all, what do you use to fly?"
"You guys have it, but why can't you fly?" Xu Cang laughed: "In the end, what you said are all theoretical issues, but this one is the simplest. The most difficult thing about the high-altitude route is the operation. problem, which happens to be something we can fix."
Theoretically, the problem is indeed easy to deal with. If it’s really not possible, it’s okay to ask the local regulatory bureau with a cheeky face.However, it is the most troublesome thing to control the aircraft in the environment of thin air and turbulent air flow on the high plateau, and this kind of control problem is honed by the pilot's accumulated skills over time, and there is no shortcut at all.
Therefore, when Blue Sky Airlines wanted to operate some routes, it had to spend a lot of money to get Mo Shangyun back.Xu Cang estimated that there are not many airlines that can fly to these routes in the whole country. Will this lead to few flights to these routes, thus pushing up the prices of some routes virtually?
No matter what, they have instructor Mo Shangyun, so they can take a large number of their own captains.After time has accumulated, the captains will be able to gradually figure out the characteristics of some airports, and then they will be able to take care of themselves in the future.
They can solve the most troublesome problems, so why not do it yourself?
"This" Wang Xuan was speechless by Xu Cang's words, it was just a matter of conversation, how could Xu Cang cut off this matter?It shouldn't be, such a matter can't be decided so quickly, Xu Cang seems to have an idea before they talk.
Wang Xuan was right. If his master Chen Xiangdong hadn’t mentioned last night that these routes would be extremely profitable routes, based on the conversation with Wang Xuan today, Xu Cang wouldn’t be so reckless. The idea of opening some logical routes.
It can only be said that the fate is wonderful, and the statements of Chen Xiangdong and Wang Xuan just confirmed each other, directly eliminating Xu Cang's link of seeking proof.
"If you want to fly, you have to apply for a flight route, don't you think it's troublesome?" Wang Xuan shouted: "Also, don't you think it's strange that Erhai Lake flies more?"
"Luoxie is not Hanjing, Yangcheng or Shanghai. It is a bit difficult to apply, but it is definitely not very high. As for the Erhai-Luoxie route, it is really strange. Wouldn't it be enough to add a stop in the middle? How about Jianchuan? Erhai-Jianchuan-do you like it?" Xu Cang said with a smile, "It happens to be a four-way flight back and forth, and I think many pilots will be quite happy to fly."
Anyway, he has already planned to develop the intra-provincial route. The Erhai-Jianchuan section must be applied for. Later, he will apply for Jianchuan-Logo separately. Isn't the combination of the two perfect?
Wang Xuan's face darkened, and he could only say that the route Xu Cang arranged was really good, adding Jianchuan in the middle made everything straighten out.
"Xu Cang, do you really think it's so easy to fly high on the plateau?" Wang Xuan said in a deep voice, "The theory in many places is not the same as the reality. I heard that you recruited some pilots from Muhua. Those who came from Muhua Pilots fly to plain airports every day, and they don’t even know how to fly to plateau airports. Do you want to train them to fly to high plateaus? Then you have to practice until the year of the monkey? If your pilots can’t be trained, they can’t be independent, and you can’t let instructor Mo lead the team every time. Well, he has a rest period."
It can only be said that Wang Xuan still has some skills, and he immediately pointed out Xu Cang's weakness, which is the lack of personnel.Indeed, most of Xu Cang's pilots are now from Muhua Airlines, and the pilots there are basically flying to plain airports, and they rarely see the flying conditions of plateau or even high plateau airports.
However, the thrust attenuation of high plateau airports is quite severe during approach, which is much worse than that of plain airports.If you don't have experience, if you land at Pingyuan Airport, seven or eight out of ten the plane will hit the road hard, which is quite dangerous.
And those captains who are used to flying to plain airports can't change their operating concepts and methods in a short while, so even if instructor Mo Shangyun can lead a large number of flights, it still needs to grow to the level of being able to lead high-altitude routes alone. Too long and not very efficient.
However, in comparison, although Blue Sky Airlines does not have many high-altitude routes, there are many high-altitude routes, and the two are somewhat similar. This makes the pilots of Blue Sky Airlines have relatively better foundations, and the effect of training is natural. also good.
No way, this is the inherent advantage.When Xu Cang's Spring and Summer Airlines was first established, there were still not enough manpower available.
However, faced with this question that directly hits the soul, Xu Cang was not in a hurry, and some jokes: "Mr. Wang, do you know who among the seven base airlines in the entire Jianchuan Airport working area is the most experienced in operating high-altitude routes?" ?”
Wang Xuan was startled: "What do you mean?"
Xu Cang grinned, revealing a mouthful of white teeth, looking very happy.Suddenly, Xu Cang raised his left hand, pointed behind Wang Xuan, and said slowly, "It's Feiyu Airlines!"
Wang Xuan's face suddenly changed, and he turned around suddenly, and found that there were two men in their 30s eating and chatting in the direction of Xu Cang's finger.Perhaps feeling something, the two men looked towards Xu Cang, and when they saw Xu Cang's face clearly, they were stunned.
The two yelled at the same time: "Xu Cang!?"
