Return to 2000: Captain of the Great Powers

Chapter 211 First time!The twin-engine large passenger plane flies across the ocean! (Please subscribe!)
There is a village near the edge of the Jianchuan work area. In the middle of the work area, there are only various airline companies, airport groups and related government agencies. There are no entertainment venues, not even restaurants. Fireworks.

However, it is not as good as those high-end restaurants in the city center. They are full of flies, but they still have a unique flavor.

Xu Cang and Xiao Lingyun found a husband-and-wife restaurant, and ordered a Fried Niuhe. Without further ado, they ate half of the plate in a state of boredom.Both of them didn't eat breakfast, so they started to feel weak after walking a few steps?

Xiao Lingyun is used to eating Niuhe. For Xu Cang, he would get tired of eating this stuff too quickly.I ordered a bottle of Coke and started drinking again.

After solving the scorching hunger, the next meal will be more casual.Xiao Lingyun was the first to ask: "Xu Cang, you haven't said yet, how come there is no order for Bombardier's CS100? This is too outrageous! Their business jets and regional airliners are still available."

"Do you know why after so many years, in the mainline airliner market, only Airbus has really stood up?"

Xiao Lingyun was startled, this question really overwhelmed him.However, he still speculated: "I heard that Airbus is almost supported by the whole of Europe. With such strong industrial technology in Europe, it is not too strange to pile up an Airbus, right?"

Xu Cang put down the Coke: "Then why don't you evaluate the Bombardier CS100 aircraft from an industrial perspective instead of a commercial one?"

"What do you want me to say?" Xiao Lingyun laughed dryly: "I'm in finance. Whether Bombardier's aircraft is good or not, I can only judge from a commercial point of view. However, they can't sell a single plane, which can explain it anyway. This model is not favored in the market."

"Market, where is the market?" Xu Cang asked with a smile.

Xiao Lingyun was stunned for the first time, but this person was a dragon and phoenix among the people, and he realized it immediately, his eyes flickered: "That's right, it has no market, and it is impossible for Canada to become its last basic market. Therefore, empty The reason why customers can rise is the European market!"

"That's right! From an industrial point of view, the CS100 aircraft is a good aircraft, at least barely keeping up with the Airbus 320 and Boeing 737. However, why did Airbus survive while Bombardier failed when it entered the mainline narrow-body aircraft? Such a big somersault? The gap in technology is not the key point, the key point is that in the face of a market that already has an old king, there is a possibility of rising only when it is determined that there is a large enough retained market, otherwise It’s the rootless apple.”

"Airbus is very lucky, because it not only has the industrial and technical capabilities of Europe, but also has the huge European civil aviation market as a support. Whether it is from the official policy or national sentiment, as long as Airbus produces good aircraft, it can sell Go. But Bombardier faces the world market that has been almost divided up. Where is its private land? The weak market in Canada is not worth mentioning at all. The CS100 is like a newborn baby. Can it handle a direct confrontation with two adults?"

Xiao Lingyun still finds it a little hard to imagine: "But Bombardier's business jets and regional airliners are still doing well, why is it so bad this time?"

"Business jets and regional airliners were originally reserved for others by Airbus and Boeing. How much of the two markets are there? It’s better to be too extreme. If you look at Embraer, they only do business jets and regional airlines. Airliner, isn’t life very good? However, Bombardier was also a little cautious. At the beginning, it defined the CS100 as a regional airliner, for fear of arousing the vigilance of Airbus and Boeing. But who can be fooled by this little trick? Of course, this time It was an accident that the order was not received. Bombardier is not a little-known small company. Relying on the previous connections, it can still sell some, but it is only three or two big cats and small cats, which cannot be successful. "

Xiao Lingyun half-understood what he heard, but he didn't only care about capital operation, and he needed to have sufficient knowledge to do related work.It's just that after the past few years of neglect, Xiao Lingyun has indeed fallen behind the times, and needs to be recharged.

"You asked me to keep an eye on Bombardier before, not just for this short sale, right?"

"It's not Bombardier, you are Bombardier Aerospace, I only want Bombardier Aerospace." Xu Cang said with a smile: "We will see if there is a chance to separate Bombardier Aerospace from it in the future."

Xiao Lingyun smacked his lips: "No way? Bombardier is one of the top [-] companies in the world after all, and Bombardier Aerospace is also one of the more important subsidiaries. It will cost close to tens of billions of dollars to buy."

"It's okay, its stock price will continue to fall." Xu Cang said with a smile.

"Huh?" Xiao Lingyun smelled it instantly: "Do you still want to go short?"

"No!" Xu Cang shook his head: "The back of it is slowly rotting away. If we really want to go short, we have to go out and shout. The goal is a bit obvious, and the profit will not be very high. Help me pay attention to Bombardier, no Before long, it will be so rotten that it sells Bombardier Aerospace."

Xiao Lingyun raised his eyebrows: "During this period of time, I have learned a lot about your situation. You pay so much attention to Bombardier Aerospace, don't you think you want to build a large domestic aircraft?"

"What's wrong?" Xu Cang smiled and said, "Can't you?"

Xiao Lingyun hesitated and said: "That's not what I said, I'm not a professional, so I don't know if there is such a soil."

"There is a market and there is a plan to blossom and bear fruit. You asked me if I have the soil, and my answer is yes, but are there any seeds? Not yet! So, I'm going to cultivate." Xu Cang said: "You know why I didn't Are you doing these capital operations? Firstly, it is not easy to find an agent who can sleep well. Secondly, I have recently felt more and more that the airlines are too slow to bring in money, so slow that I can’t grasp the opportunities of the times. .I need to develop a steady stream of additional income!"

"So what are you going to do with the money? Develop an airline?"

"Hahahaha!" Xu Cang laughed so hard that he turned backwards and forwards, causing the proprietress of the restaurant to cast strange glances at him.

Xiao Lingyun was not annoyed by Xu Cang's reaction, and even laughed himself: "Did I say something interesting?"

Xu Cang waved his hand, gradually restrained his smile, and put the Coke bottle aside: "Brother Xiao, will gambling always win?"

"How is it possible? How can gambling always win?"

"No!" Xu Cang raised a finger: "The banker can always win."

"Can stocks, finance, and investment make money all the time?" Xu Cang pointed to the direction of the sky: "Only the people there can do it. I guess I can't do it in this life."

"But doing civil aviation." Xu Cang's expression suddenly became solemn: "I will be the one who always wins."

The matter of asking Director Liu for a controller can only be regarded as half the success, but for Xu Cang who didn't have much hope in the first place, this result is already quite good.

Of course, under Xiao Lingyun's operation, the good news of earning 3000 million with 8000 million is enough to make Xu Cang feel better with a little regret.

After this incident, Xu Cang finally understands why so many people like to engage in capital, and the money is too fast and easy.Industry is hard work, but still can't make so much money, who wants to go into industry?

However, Xu Cang still has some attachments.In the past, relying on the airline company estimated that it would not be enough to save enough money to realize it in this lifetime, but now it is different.

Even if you are reborn, you know a lot of information in advance, but it is not easy to realize this information.At least before meeting Xiao Lingyun, Xu Cang had to spend a lot of effort to let Xu Cang go to the US stock market to do those things.

Now, I mainly give Xiao Lingyun some direction hints, and the specific operation level is all handled by Xiao Lingyun, so that he can give full play to his own information advantages.

With a trace of satisfaction, Xu Cang went back to Erhai Lake.Originally, Xiao Lingyun was going to do something in Jianchuan, but suddenly wanted to see the true face of Xu Cang's airline company in Lushan, so he took the plane and went to Erhai together.

The flight that Xu Cang was on was basically full, and he learned from the chat with the crew that the occupancy rate of the section back was also about the same.

Xu Cang also inquired about the scheduling plan of the next crew, and found that the company is not bad, most of them are back and forth twice a day, that is, four short sections.If some people are busy, they can go back and forth three times a day, which is the so-called "six stages of death".

Regardless of these six sections, the flight time of each section is less than an hour, but if you really fly down, you will lose your soul.

The basic composition of the six stages of death is to fly the Jianchuan-Erhai round-trip in the morning first, then take the Jianchuan-Humpback round-trip after the flight, and finally take the Jianchuan-Erhai round-trip.However, strictly speaking, this is not really the sixth stage of death, because there is a full four-hour long pass between Jianchuan-Hump and the second Jianchuan-Erhai, which is enough to even exit once.

The real six stages of death should be completely glued together, preferably with four or 10 minutes of stopover time in the middle, so that the pilot basically has no chance to breathe.

However, Spring Airlines is not capable enough at present, has little right to speak, and is not strong in determining the flight time.As a result, the connection between flights is not done very well, just like the six-section, four-hour large stop, and it can even be stuffed into a round-trip within the province.

Of course, Spring and Summer Airlines has just started, and it is normal that they have little power over airport schedules.However, the follow-up cannot depend entirely on the government's help. When the company is on the right track, even if Xu Cang is unwilling, he will start to establish a good relationship with Jianchuan's Air Traffic Management Bureau and the airport.

Different from the start of other airlines, Xu Cang knew Director Liu, the third in command of the air traffic control bureau, which was a good start, and he would walk around from time to time in the future to maintain the relationship.

Even with the smaller ARJ21, it takes less than an hour to fly from Jianchuan to Erhai Lake.Overall, Xu Cang's riding experience is good.

When getting off the plane, Xu Cang glanced at the cockpit, and found that this time it was still operating with two captains, and the capacity configuration of the crew was a bit high.

Xiao Lingyun and Xu Cang went to the company's small courtyard together, and then went to Erhai Lake to enjoy the scenery, while the team of the National Planning and Design Institute was sent to the car by Xu Cang, and drove to Jinghong. There is someone responsible for the reception.

After seeing off the people from the National Planning and Design Institute, Xu Cang was a little tired, and he was prone to sleepiness when flying.However, this time in the dormitory, Qin Xin came to the door.

In front of Qin Xin, Xu Cang was not restrained at all. He leaned back on the bed, yawned, and asked the first question: "I see that the flight crew of Feijianchuan-Erhai is operated by two captains today. Why is the configuration so high?" ? Dual captains will cost a lot of money.”

"Erhai is not easy to fly, and those captains haven't flown much before, so they don't know what to do, so at the beginning of the operation, two captains are arranged to operate. After they get familiar with the situation at Erhai Airport, the normal crew configuration will be restored later." Qin Xin explained. Said: "I confirmed with Lu Jinghua, he also felt that the operation of Erhai Airport is difficult, and it is necessary to operate with two captains in the initial stage."

After all, not everyone is Xu Cang, and even ordinary captains are under psychological pressure when flying to Erhai Airport.Not to mention, they hadn't flown to plateau airports before at National University Airlines, and they really needed a stage of adaptation.

"Well, there is some truth to it." Xu Cang accepted this argument, even though he felt that Erhai Airport was a little more difficult, and it was a waste to run with two captains.

Qin Xin pulled a small stool and sat by the bed: "Xu Cang, Xiaoxiao said that you spent 3000 million from the company account, is there such a thing?"

Lu Xiaoxiao was originally from Shandong Airlines, and she came to Spring Summer Airlines to do a market analysis at the invitation of Xu Cang.After coming here, I felt that Qin Xin got along pretty well, so I sent a resignation report to Shandong Airlines, and stayed at Chunxia Airlines.

Lu Xiaoxiao is a good manager of money, anyway, the company's money has to go through Lu Xiaoxiao.

"There is such a thing." Xu Cang suddenly thought of something, and asked with a smile: "Is it okay, boss?"

Qin Xin wrinkled her nose: "Are you cutting first and playing later?"

"It doesn't count! The relationship between the superior and the subordinate is the first to cut and then play." Xu Cang hummed: "Yes, I spent 3000 million, but soon, there will be 8000 million more in the account!"

"8000 million? Where did it come from?"

With Qin Xin, Xu Cang naturally wouldn't have any reservations. Of course, except for the information advantage he got because of his rebirth, he told Qin Xin everything else, including Bombardier and Xiao Lingyun.

Qin Xin naturally understands the capital operation knowledge mentioned by Xu Cang. In fact, Xu Cang is the half-baked one, while Qin Xin is relatively proficient.The whole operation is actually very simple, but the explosion of orders for Bombardier's new C-series aircraft is really incredible.Even though Xu Cang explained Bombardier's predicament a little bit, Qin Xin still felt that Xu Cang was really daring.

"Without any human intervention, just waiting for Bombardier's stock price to plummet naturally, are you so confident in your vision?"

Xu Cang grinned: "The development of the company costs money, and my own affairs also cost money. It's a bit too slow to make money just relying on airline companies. Actually, I don't like this way of making money, but I can't have it." Don’t make money?”

"Do you make money? Do you think you can always make money? Even Buffett, the stock market god, doesn't make money all the time. This way of making money is quick, but it is also quick to lose. Moreover, getting used to this easy way of making money, In the future, I won’t get used to the way of earning money in a down-to-earth manner.”

"I know, I know it in my heart."

"People who are addicted to gambling like to say that they know what they know." Qin Xin rolled her eyes: "However, I believe you once. You can use the money if you want, can you tell me?"

"Then I'll tell you the number? You have to explain where it's used? I don't think you can understand it."

"You don't care if I understand you or not, anyway, just tell the truth." Qin Xin didn't get too entangled in this issue, and instead said something else: "After Director Hu's introduction, some other airports in the province are in charge People came here and took a walk. Basically, other airports in the province have hopes of operating commercial flights, and two of them are ready for commercial flight operations, and they just invited us to enter."

"It means that they are also inviting other airlines?" Qin Xin nodded: "That's what I know. As far as I know, Tiandong, Muhua, Feiyu and other companies are all likely to enter. However, the two The meaning of the airport is also to intervene in the airline's ticket pricing, hoping to set the price lower, especially in the province's routes. In comparison, we have an agreement with the Jianchuan Municipal Government, so we don't have much request for us. However, it may not be acceptable to other airlines.”

"It's fine if you can't accept it. Let us fly. It may not be easy to lose face. However, when we do well, the situation will not be certain. We still have to seize the reserved time of other airlines. In addition, because of policy subsidies, we won’t lose money if we don’t have any basic routes within the province. Such a great opportunity."

"However, even if all the routes in the province are connected together, it may not be able to absorb twenty ARJ21s. We still have to develop nearby airports in the province." Xu Cang said.

"Well, let's talk about it now. Although Qianxi Airport is the provincial capital airport, there are not many flights. We are quite welcome. It should not be difficult for the bureau to apply. However, Shancheng Airport is more difficult. Shancheng Airport The passenger traffic volume is larger than that of Jianchuan Airport, so it is not easy to find a flight time there. As for Rongfu Airport, it is even more difficult."

The three major hubs in the southwest, Rongcheng, Shancheng, and finally Jianchuan.Among them, Rongcheng is the most exaggerated.The passenger throughput of Rongcheng Airport can be at the forefront even if you look at the whole country, and the temper is naturally justified.

Xu Cang smacked his lips: "The route of Qianxi Airport still doesn't make much money, it's just to keep ARJ21 idle. The route of Shancheng Airport is somewhat profitable, but it's not so necessary. It should be spent It’s just a matter of spending the money for unblocking, and it’s not necessary to force it. Only this Rongcheng Airport needs to work hard. Is there really no oil and salt at the airport? It’s not possible.”

"Why can't it happen. The people from our marketing department went to the airport to ask someone about the situation, but we didn't even meet him." Qin Xin snorted: "I've never seen such a big airport group. .Hanjing Airport is probably not as big as their airs.”

Xu Cang smiled and said, "What if they develop into the second largest airport in China in terms of throughput in the future? They have confidence, and it's normal to have a bigger temper."

"Rongcheng Airport can develop into the second place in China, really?" Qin Xin thought about it for a while, but still felt that it was unreliable even after thinking about it.

Not to mention the domestic airports in Hanjing, Shanghai, and Yangcheng should be firmly in the top three in China. The rest are like Tianhe in the central part, and Xianchi Airport is also developing very fast. It is impossible for Rongcheng Airport to be the second. .

Qin Xin obviously has some fixed impressions again, but these are all trivial matters.Because Hanjing, Shanghai, and Yangcheng have indeed brought together the best civil aviation resources and the most high-quality routes.

However, this does not mean that the throughput of these three companies is also the highest.

Qin Xin was very annoyed when she saw Xu Cang's half-smile, "What's your expression? Even if Rongcheng Airport can develop in the future, they don't bother to talk to us. No matter how well they develop, what does it matter to us?"

"It's okay, there will be a chance to solve it in the future. The Jianchuan-Rongcheng route is very good, it's best to make three round trips a day."

Qin Xin let out a hehe, and now she started fantasizing about shifting three shifts a day without even stepping in the door?This imagination is a bit too rich.

The matter at Rongcheng Airport made Qin Xin very unhappy, and there was no solution for the time being, so she simply mentioned it, and Qin Xin then talked about other things: "By the way, in the past few days, Jianchuan-Erhai, Jianchuan-Hump, Hump -Erhai's air ticket sales have been counted, and the average occupancy rate has exceeded 80.00%. Among them, Jianchuan-Erhai has the highest occupancy rate, Jianchuan-Tuofeng is slightly less, and Tuofeng-Erhai is the worst. However, even The worst hump-Erhai route so far has nearly [-]% occupancy rate. The Jianchuan Municipal Government is very satisfied with this situation and said that if the follow-up operation is good, they hope that we will open more intra-provincial routes.”

"Let's go. Like Jianchuan-Erhai, I think we can add another flight. Four flights a day, I think it's almost the same, and the same is true for other routes." Xu Cang pondered.

Qin Xin was taken aback: "Do you think that four shifts a day is almost the limit of the connection between the provincial airport and Jianchuan?"

"It depends on the situation. In the province, Jinghong Airport will be the most valuable in the future, which is greater than the combined value of Erhai and Yulong. This is the first tier. After that, there will be Yulong and Erhai. This is the second tier. It is the third gear. In the future, when Jinghong Airport develops, there will be as many flights as it can, and there is absolutely no need to worry about passengers. But Yulong and Erhai should be a little more restrained. In the peak season, six flights a day is the limit. In the off-season, four flights are a bit too much, and three flights are better. As for other third-tier airports, there are about three flights all year round. The inter-provincial airports except Jianchuan will be adjusted according to the route gone."

Qin Xin frowned in confusion: "Yulong? Does Yulong have an airport now?"

"Of course there is an airport. It opened to air five years ago, but it's very small, even smaller than the Erhai Airport at the beginning." Speaking of Yulong's airport, Xu Cang couldn't help but think of the ultra-low-altitude spiral he completed in Yulong. The miraculous operation of the short final landing was really the pinnacle of his skills. Since then, he has never demonstrated his unparalleled manipulation art more than that time.

"However, considering the time, Yulong Airport may start the first phase of expansion. I wonder if we can get involved?"

Upon hearing this, Qin Xin immediately became vigilant: "What are you doing, you want to invest in Yulong Airport like Jinghong Airport? You wish you could have all the airports in the province?"

"No, no, as long as the Jinghong Airport family is fine, the family is fine." Xu Cang said hastily.

Qin Xin snorted dissatisfiedly: "But speaking of it, during the last meeting with the person in charge of the airport in the province, one person in charge of the airport asked if we could help them replace their navigation equipment, and they wanted a blind landing device. There is only VOR at their airport now, but when it gets foggy in winter, VOR approaches can’t be flown at all. Only blind landing can be operated all year round. In return, our airport can have a great priority at that airport.”

"Do you really think I'm a cash cow?" Xu Cang curled his lips. He probably hired Jinghong Airport himself. He wanted to spread the word about renovating the entire airport, and some people in charge of other airports began to have some strange thoughts.

Xu Cang's money didn't come from the wind.Of course, even if it was blown by a strong wind, according to Xu Cang's temperament, he couldn't throw it casually.Not all the airports in Yunshan Province are so valuable that Xu Cang can pay for them.

"Which airport? The face is quite big."

Qin Xin recalled for a moment: "It seems to be Zhongzhongdian."

"Zhongdian?" Xu Cang snorted lightly, feeling that he had heard this voice somewhere before.Suddenly, Xu Cang's mind flashed a little light, and he was shocked: "Shangri-La."

The airport of Shangri-La in the future actually found him, Xu Cang only felt that life was really a dream.

Shangri-La first appeared in a foreign novel in the 30s. It is a secret place of paradise on earth, and it is naturally a fictional place name.However, whether the Shangri-La in the future is the paradise on earth described in the novel is something to be said.

However, bearing the name of Shangri-La, it will also be a tourist attraction in the future.However, if you want to say how popular it is, it's not that bad, it's even a little lower than Erhai and Yulong.

However, in terms of making money, both Erhai and Yulong Airports are far behind Shangri-La Airport.The reason is that Shangri-La Airport is a high-altitude airport, and the ticket price is inherently higher than Erhai and Yulong, and this is recognized, so there is quite a lot of room for price increases.

When he thought that he would be able to arrange a flight to Shangri-La Airport in the future, Xu Cang felt that he could accomplish a lot. Although a set of blind landing equipment was expensive, it was worth the effort.Especially if the name has not been changed yet, when the name is changed later, the price will no longer be the same.

However, Xu Cang's original expenditure plan was somewhat disrupted by the sudden addition of a set of blind landing equipment, and it seemed that he had to re-plan it carefully.

However, when Xu Cang was thinking about how to spend the money, Chunxia Airlines ushered in another unexpected guest, who turned out to be Si Weimin, the chairman of Muhua Airlines.

The vicinity of the airport is mostly wilderness, and there is no shelter from the wind at all. It is winter, Xu Cang is afraid that Si Weimin will be frozen, so he does not let Si Weimin get off at the Chunxia Aviation Base, but follows Si Weimin all the way He went straight to Erhai City and asked Si Weimin to stay in a hotel in the city.

After an hour or so of land travel, the two first found a hotel to stay in. Si Weimin's secretary was dispatched to handle some chores, while Xu Cang and Si Weimin found a place in the hotel tea room for a drink. Tea warms the body.

As Si Weimin put down the teacup, Si Weimin seemed to have a look of aftertaste on his face: "The Nanjian tea leaves from Erhai Lake are indeed unique, and I will take some back later. However, it is also very cold here in winter. There is no windshield around your base, so what if my granddaughter is frozen?"

"Oh, our company's dormitory has heating equipment, so it won't freeze. Linglong's flight is gone, and you didn't tell me in advance when you came here, isn't this a waste of time?"

Si Weimin smiled and said: "You have opened the Jianchuan-Erhai flight now, so it won't be troublesome to come here. It's a big deal to make more flights. It's just that Erhai is the windy season now, and it was really bumpy when I first approached at low altitude. It’s amazing. The ARJ21 is a small aircraft with poor wind resistance, so if a large aircraft is used to fly, it won’t be like that.”

Xu Cang curled his lips: "Master, are you here to experience the flight service of our Spring and Summer Airlines?"

"That's not true, I'm not that free yet. There are three main reasons for coming here this time."

Xu Cang raised his eyebrows, a little guilty: "So many?"

It makes no sense for Xu Cang to be guilty, after all, the person in front of him is his creditor, and he owes real money.

"Yeah, I'm definitely coming here this time to see my Linglong's, how they are doing here, and whether they are being bullied."

Xu Cang hurriedly said: "No, no, she is almost worshiped as a bodhisattva, how dare you bully her!"

"It's not because of what you said. When Linglong comes back later, I'll ask her personally." Si Weimin snorted, "And when will the rent you owe be settled? It's not a day. It's been two days."

Upon hearing this, Xu Cang hurriedly shouted: "Old man, you don't know! Linglong is a very delicate girl. We have spent a lot of thought in our lives, for fear that Linglong will feel uncomfortable. Besides, you Look at the dilapidated building in our company, we really have no money. If you ask us for money again, we won't have the money to improve Linglong's life."

If Xu Cang is paying rent now, then there must be a move.But in line with the principle of procrastinating as long as he can, Xu Cang began to cry poor again.

"You boy, don't think that if my granddaughter works here, you can owe money and not pay it back." Si Weimin tapped the ground with his crutches: "Xu Cang, this money is not mine. If it is mine, you can pay it later." It doesn't matter. The money is going to go to the public account, you have been delaying it, the influence is not good, and I can't help you. "

Xu Cang immediately became serious: "Understood, I understand, but we are really tight recently."

"Two months, give you another two months, this is the last deadline. I don't need you to pay back the interest incurred in arrears, just settle the principal."

Hearing this, Xu Cang didn't dare to ask for anything, he hurriedly nodded in agreement.

"That's all about the rent for the time being, and the next thing is the most important thing."

"Huh?" Xu Cang also restrained his sense of relaxation: "Old man, what's the matter?"

"Some time ago, you participated in the last test of the Boeing 777, and the result was passed, so the commercial operation of the Boeing 777 is no longer hindered." Si Weimin said with a smile: "We, Muhua, will have a few 777s soon. , As for how to use these 777s, there is still no very clear conclusion, but one of them has been finalized, and I think you need to be invited to participate.”

Xu Cang was startled: "What?"

Si Weimin's smile also slowly disappeared, and turned to be extremely sincere and serious: "Xu Cang, in the past, transoceanic flights were dominated by three-engine and four-engine large passenger planes, but the appearance of the Boeing 777 broke this established rule. In any case, the fuel consumption of two engines is always much less than that of three or four engines. And, now that the ETOPS standard is no longer a problem, we have an idea. A twin-engine airliner flies across the ocean!"
