Return to 2000: Captain of the Great Powers

After seeing off Pu Xiyuan, Xu Cang and Qin Xin stood at the gate of the base and watched Pu Xiyuan go to Erhai Airport. After a while, he will take a plane to Jianchuan first, and then return to China via Jianchuan.

"What do you think of this man?" Xu Cang patted Qin Xin on the shoulder, signaling to go back first, the wind was so strong outside that it made his face hurt like a knife.

Qin Xin put her hands into the inner pocket of Xu Cang's coat to keep warm, and frowned: "I don't like this person, his eyes are dishonest."

Xu Cang held Qin Xin's hand to his chest: "It's okay, dishonest people often suffer."

Qin Xin gave Xu Cang a sideways look, with a smile on her face, "It looks like you've been thinking about something bad."

"What is bad water?" Xu Cang shrank, "This is the execution of justice."

Qin Xin was amused by Xu Cang's words, and rolled her eyes: "Childish."

"Are you naive?" Xu Cang also laughed along with him: "Thirty to seven points! How dark is this experience. But it doesn't matter, anyway, I will spit out both the principal and the interest later."

"However, the three routes of Seoul, Busan, and Incheon are indeed good. It is indeed relatively safe to start with the Japan-Korea route as an international route." Qin Xin obviously has some say in this aspect: "There are more tourists in South Asia. The flow of population in business and education is relatively small. Japan and South Korea not only have a lot of tourism flow, but also have great potential in business education, at least more diverse than South Asia. When I worked in the group, I seemed to say It means that Japan and South Korea tourism will become a new hot spot in the future.”

In any case, the cost of traveling in Europe and the United States is relatively high. Nearby, such as Japan, South Korea, Southeast Asia, and South Asia, short-distance travel will become the mainstream. This is the view of the spring and summer travel industry.

As a giant in the domestic tourism industry, Xu Cang still agrees with his views.

"If it's from Shanghai, it's not too far to go to South Korea. A 737 is enough. We don't need to buy wide-body jets anymore. It's not bad in terms of cost." Qin Xin calculated.

Shanghai is indeed not far from South Korea. Taking Seoul as an example, the 737 is estimated to be more than two hours, anyway, it will not exceed three hours, and the 737 is just right.If you want to buy a wide-body aircraft just to fly international routes, the cost will be a bit out of the table.

It is for this reason that Qin Xin is quite optimistic about Japan and South Korea routes, including the future Southeast Asia and South Asia routes, which are also within the range of the 737 itinerary.If it is farther away, the 737 will be powerless.

Xu Cang made a calculation in his mind: "It is definitely unrealistic to fly a plane in Shanghai. I think we will have to change teams to fly. One team will fly the plane from Jianchuan to Shanghai in the morning, then get off the plane, and the other team will fly." A round-trip route from Shanghai to South Korea, and finally let the first set fly the plane back from Shanghai. If this is the case, it is still quite troublesome to cooperate with a Jianchuan-Shanghai route.”

"Let's look at this later. I had dinner with the leaders of Shanghai Airport in the group before. I will mention it to my former friends to see if I can build relationships with them."

The headquarters of Chunxia Tourism Group is in Shanghai, so there must be no relationship.However, no matter what, Qin Xin is no longer in Chunxia Tourism, so it's hard to say how much they can help.

No matter at what time, no matter what industry you are in, this kind of sophistication is inevitable. Although Xu Cang doesn't like it very much, he has to accept it.

"One more thing, though. Has anyone in our fleet ever flown internationally?"

"This" caught Xu Cang's question now. In his memory, it seemed that no one in the Chunxia Airlines fleet had any experience in international airlines.

Xu Cang had flown international airlines in his previous life, but this couldn't cover up his poor spoken English.When Xu Cang was promoted to the chief division of the bureau, the requirements for English were not high at that stage.Later, there were more and more strange requests, and it was embarrassing for pilots not to have an ICAO4.

If Xu Cang stayed in the night for another two years and let him fly wildly, a single spoken English would be enough to block his way to be promoted to the chief teacher.

In fact, it's not that Xu Cang can't learn spoken English.The main reason is that this kid is very lazy. From his previous life to his rebirth, his bones have not changed. Laziness cancer is at an advanced stage and there is no cure.Spoken language is a thing of use or failure, how can it be learned well?
However, even if Xu Cang bit the bullet and made up the numbers, what about the captain?Moreover, a single set is not enough, in case that person feels unwell, there must be a backup.

"Lu Jinghua seems to be qualified. However, we still need to make statistics later." Xu Cang muttered.

When he was in Blue Sky Airlines before, Lu Jinghua had flown international routes, at least he had the qualification for international reporting, so he should be able to count on it.However, Blue Sky Airlines did not fly to Japan and South Korea, they only flew to Southeast Asia or South Asia, so I don't know if Lu Jinghua can do it.

Qin Xin nodded: "However, if you want to open an international flight at Shanghai Airport, according to the regulations, you need the approval of Tiandong Airlines. Is this a good thing?"

"In the past, it would have been difficult. That guy promised me 200 million US dollars as a clearance fee. But it's different now. We had a good relationship with Tiandong Airlines because of the British route. We want to let Tiandong It should not be difficult for the airline to nod, and we will accept the $200 million."

Now that I think about it, when Xu Cang was able to make things easier for Tiandong Airlines when he was bidding for the UK route, it really was a good decision.At least because of the previous good fortune, Tiandong Airlines will not make things difficult for the flight to South Korea.Otherwise, it is still unknown whether 200 million US dollars can be settled.

The two talked while walking. After entering the small courtyard, Qin Xin withdrew her hand, and Xu Cang suddenly remembered something: "By the way, what do you think of Jeju Island? I want to buy some land there. "

"I know something about Jeju Island. The South Korean government has been trying to build it into a tourist resort before. But the slogans are loud, but the actual policy is not implemented. The government's support is also mediocre, resulting in ineffective development there. Good. Why, why did you suddenly think of Jeju Island? Buying land in Jeju Island, South Korea does not restrict foreigners from buying land. If you want to buy land, you can definitely buy it, but is the place really valuable? How many years has the development strategy of Jeju Island been? There is no landing, and where is the value of tourism, what is left?"

Xu Cang smiled and said, "What if the policy comes down?"

"What's coming down? I don't think there's any shadow at all." Qin Xin rolled her eyes, expressing her disdain for Xu Cang's optimism about Jeju Island: "It's too cold outside, hurry back, is it so cold here in winter?"

Xu Cang smiled endlessly, followed Qin Xin, and walked towards the administration building, but bumped into Shi Lingling on the first floor.

Shi Lingling went to the Southwest of the United States and learned a lot before. Now she is mainly responsible for the implementation of some details in the company and serves as the manager of the marketing department.Seeing Xu Cang and Qin Xin walking towards him, Shi Lingling hugged a small heater and asked, "Just now I heard from afar that you are going to sail in Shanghai, what kind of flight, and where?"

Qin Xin walked to Shi Lingling's side, and pulled Shi Lingling to her office first, and Xu Cang followed.There was no wind in the office, so it was slightly warmer.

"Just now the president of Asiana Airlines came over and said that he wants to jointly operate the China-Korea route with us. Our side is to depart from Shanghai, and the Korean side is to go to Seoul, Busan and Incheon." Xu Cangbian drank hot water to warm his body , while explaining to Shi Lingling.

"This route is good, it's not too long, and the 737 can also fly. But, I see that you seem to be worried, what do you mean, is there any trouble?"

Qin Xin then told Shi Lingling about Xu Cang's idea of ​​changing the group to fly there: "The current situation is that we have to send the plane over there, and we also need to open a large-stop flight in Shanghai. I don't know if it will be easy , After all, it involves Shanghai Airport, so if you apply, you still have to go through a lot of trouble."

"What's the trouble?" Shi Lingling spread her hands: "You mean to fly from Jianchuan to Shanghai in the morning, and then fly back in the evening, and use the time in between to fly back and forth to South Korea, right?"

Xu Cang sat down and curled up into a ball: "Yes, what's your opinion?"

"What advice can I have? However, I can help you with the Shanghai route that goes in the morning and returns in the evening. It's not too difficult."

"Ah? You can handle it. That's Shanghai Airport. It can't be that simple, right?"

Shi Lingling didn't take it seriously: "If it's Hanjing or Yangcheng, it's really hard to say. It's much easier to do in Shanghai. I used to come from the Eastern Bureau, and I know the people there very well. Although it involves Shanghai The airport, but it’s not a special route like Hanjing-Shanghai. As long as the Eastern Bureau nods, it’s basically fine. Don’t worry, I will handle this matter. You decide the specific time, and I will go to Shanghai. Definitely get the route down for you.”

Seeing Shi Lingling's determined appearance, Xu Cang suddenly felt that Shi Lingling was not so annoying anymore.At the beginning, agreeing to Shi Lingling's coming was because of her connections, but she didn't expect to use them so soon.

"Oh, I didn't expect you to be so useful." Xu Cang laughed.

"Really?" Shi Lingling was very proud: "Then give me a salary increase? My salary is too low, too low."

"Salary increase?" Xu Cang sneered: "When I first wrote the article to criticize me, I wished I could wrench your head off and want to raise your salary? Dreaming! Pay off the debt first."

Shi Lingling's face collapsed all of a sudden, and she left the room angrily with the small stove in her arms.

"Xu Cang, the salary you gave Shi Lingling is indeed too low, do you want to take this opportunity to raise it?" Qin Xin might also feel that he couldn't stand it any longer, so he spoke out to help Shi Lingling.

Indeed, Shi Lingling had a feud with Xu Cang in the past, but now the conflict has turned into friendship, and Shi Lingling is also active in doing things, so there is no need to be so stingy.

Xu Cang sat down on the sofa: "Don't worry, I have a measure."

Just as he sat down, a voice suddenly came from outside the house: "Xu Cang, are you there?"

Xu Cang got up immediately, he was very familiar with this voice, wasn't it the voice of AVIC Lin Ming that he had met in the bureau's CFMLEAP engine seminar before.

How could Xu Cang dare to stay in the house, he ran out immediately and found a middle-aged man standing in the yard, it was Lin Ming in a black windbreaker.

Seeing Xu Cang's appearance, Lin Ming went up to meet him with a smile: "Xu Cang, you are so comfortable, you have made a nest here."

"Boss Lin." Xu Cang hurried over, politely.Although Lin Ming's specific position is not known yet, even in such a behemoth as AVIC, he is a very powerful person.

"It's cold outside, talk inside."

Introducing Lin Ming into the house, Xu Cang introduced Lin Ming to Qin Xin, and then dismissed him.

After pouring Lin Ming a cup of hot tea, Xu Cang sat opposite to Lin Ming: "Boss Lin, I probably know the purpose of your coming this time, but I didn't expect to come so soon."

"The blueprint data of 737NG is of great importance, which is of great reference significance to us. Naturally, it is necessary to proceed quickly." The seriousness on Lin Ming's face became more and more serious: "Xu Cang, Mr. Chen told me that there was a little guy who wanted to When I got the blueprint of 737NG, I thought he was joking. Unexpectedly, it has only been a long time, and everything has become a fact."

"Boss Lin, wait a moment!"

Xu Cang didn't say much, he left the house, went to his own dormitory, took the hard disk that he kept, and handed it to Lin Ming himself.

Even Lin Ming, who couldn't express his anger or expression, couldn't stop shaking his hands when he took the hard drive.This small hard drive weighs more than a thousand catties, which is too heavy.

"Boss Lin doesn't need to check?"

Lin Ming put away the hard drive carefully: "It's okay, I can trust you."

"No!" Xu Cang shook his head: "I don't trust Boeing."

Lin Ming was taken aback, and laughed loudly: "Yes, this is reasonable. However, if you want to check, the workload is still not small, I have to go back and take my time. If there is any problem, I will report it to you. Not to mention, you have helped us a lot in this matter."

"It's okay, I promised Mr. Chen, but I just kept my promise. Fortunately, I didn't disgrace my life, and the ending is good."

"Indeed." Lin Ming nodded: "Before, you also promised Mr. Chen that you would receive corresponding rewards. I want to hear it too. What do you want?"

Xu Cang didn't say anything immediately, but asked a question instead: "Mr. Lin, is the fuselage of Bombardier's CS100 aircraft provided by AVIC?"

Lin Ming was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said, "Yes, the fuselage of the CS100 is indeed produced by AVIC."

"Really."

"Haha, you boy. Although we in AVIC can't build a complete aircraft, we are not useless. We still have some accomplishments in some parts. When we cooperated with Bombardier, we also wanted to use the C series aircraft to show us The strength of AVIC. I just didn’t expect the order of CS100 aircraft to be so tragic.” Lin Ming sighed: “However, with the data reference of 737NG, I believe we can make further progress in airframe technology.”

"Mr. Lin, I dare to ask, if you take over Bombardier Aerospace and the foundation of AVIC, can you independently manufacture a brand new mainline airliner? I mean, under extreme conditions, there will be no jams. What happens in the neck."

In today's world, even Airbus and Boeing purchase parts from all over the world, and then assemble them by themselves, and they don't produce [-]% of them by themselves. This is the concept of global procurement, and of course it is also in consideration of cost control.

However, just because Airbus and Boeing don't make their own parts doesn't mean they can't make them.

This is what Xu Cang thought.I have to have this ability first, and then according to market rules, optimize cost factors, and outsource some parts. This is the correct path.

"Do you mean 100% domestic production?" Lin Ming thought for a while: "I don't think so if the cost is within the acceptable range! Even Bombardier's CS[-] aircraft uses Pratt & Whitney engines. The engine is an insurmountable Kan, in addition to engines, in terms of avionics, etc., if you can swallow Bombardier Aerospace, you can basically implement self-production. But Xu Cang, why are you suddenly talking about this?"

"Sure enough!" Lin Ming's words were similar to what Xu Cang expected. If you want a slightly better engine, you can't get around those companies. This is the reality.

"It's nothing, just ask casually." Xu Cang smiled and said, "Mr. Lin, then I have the cheek to ask you for some reward?"

"What does it mean to be thick-skinned, you deserve it, just say it."

Xu Cang paused, he had been thinking about this question for a long time, so he didn't need to think about it now, so he said immediately: "Mr. Lin, our company has twenty ARJ21s here, and we will definitely need to cooperate with AVIC for maintenance work in the future. I hope that AVIC will provide the most favorable maintenance service for ten years, and if our company buys aircraft from AVIC, this most favorable clause will also apply. Moreover, we also hope to get the most favorable treatment when purchasing aircraft.”

ARJ21 is produced by AVIC, and the maintenance service will be a big one after that. If AVIC can provide the most favorable maintenance service, then these twenty ARJ21s alone can save a lot of maintenance costs.Moreover, the agreement between Xu Cang and Lin Ming is not limited to these twenty ARJ21s, but applies to all other aircraft purchased from AVIC.

"For ARJ21, that's no problem. To be honest, I learned about your company's use of ARJ21 before, the provincial routes, ultra-low air tickets. I feel that this is very suitable for ARJ21. I know that many airlines buy ARJ21 for no reason. Sincerely, but now seeing that you are trying to explore a road suitable for ARJ21, I also think it is a blessing for ARJ21. Let’s do this, we will provide maintenance services for the next 21 years of the twenty ARJ21 according to the cost After ten years, the most favorable standard will be implemented.” Lin Ming said: “If you can explore a road suitable for ARJ21, it will also be an alternative expansion of the ARJ21 market for AVIC. However, you said that you will buy aircraft from us in the future. Annoyed, I am a little nosy. For an airline of your size, twenty ARJ[-]s should not need to replenish the fleet size for a long time. Bar?"

Even an airline of the size of China National Airlines cannot make good use of these 21 ARJ21s.No way, the ARJ737 can fly, and most of the [-] can also fly. There are many overlapping functions between the two.

Just like Xu Cang groping for a way to fly within the province, but even if the province’s routes are fully rolled out, they still cannot fully absorb twenty ARJ21s, so Xu Cang still needs to find some short-distance routes in other provinces in order to consume the ARJ21’s resources. Capacity.

It is precisely because of the special operating range of ARJ21 so far that under normal circumstances, these twenty ARJ21s can be used for more than ten years without needing to be replenished.Moreover, these 21 ARJ[-]s are still relatively new, and after more than ten years of use, they are barely still within their lifespan.

Xu Cang smiled and said, "I didn't say it must be ARJ21."

Lin Ming was immediately stunned, and asked with some uncertainty: "Then you don't want to buy Xinzhou 60, do you?"

Xu Cang's face froze, and he immediately shook his head like a rattle: "No, no, let's forget about Xinzhou 60."

The Xinzhou 60 was modified on the basis of the Yunqi. This kind of aircraft could not be used with Xu Cang's ability.

"However, Xinzhou 60 is not needed, what else? I don't remember anything else."

Xu Cang smiled: "Wait, what if there will be a new model in the future?"

Lin Ming was thoughtful: "Then I will lend you a good word."

"By the way, there is one more thing." Xu Cang paused: "Should be in the near future, I will participate in the real machine test of the new engine of Rollo-Royce. If everything goes well, I will get the three-rotor technology. Luo Luona Bian agreed that I would choose to send three people to the Rolls-Royce headquarters for study, and I want one person from AVIC."

"Who?"

"The supervisor of the engine department, Deng Peng!"

This Deng Peng was the one who argued for reason in the seminar at that time, and it was Xu Cang who was more eye-catching from the perspective of perception.

Lin Ming: "You mean to give us the three-rotor technology?"

"Yes and no!" Having said this, Xu Cang's face became extremely serious: "The blueprint of 737NG is very important, but it is definitely not the most important thing for AVIC. Even if there is no blueprint of 737NG, your technology has reached a certain level. The level of export. As Mr. Lin said, the engine is always the biggest constraint. Then I can’t give you the three-rotor technology. Please understand that this technology is what I worked hard for, and it will be the foundation of my life. "

Regarding Xu Cang's words, Lin Ming was quite open-minded and expressed his understanding: "I understand what you mean. But if you want to send Deng Peng to Luo Luo to learn three-rotor technology, doesn't that mean you have taught us the aviation industry?" ?”

In terms of life, Lin Ming quite liked Xu Cang's appetite, he never kept his words hidden, and he just said what he had to say.As Lin Ming said, teaching Deng Peng is not the same as teaching AVIC, there is no difference.

"So, if Deng Peng wants to go to Luoluo, then he will resign as the head of the engine department of AVIC." Xu Cang began to reveal to Lin Ming a thought hidden in his heart: "In the future, I will establish an aviation company. For the engine company, I provide technology. If AVIC is interested, it can invest manpower and material resources for equity participation, but no matter what, I will be the major shareholder, and I have the final say on everything. This will never change. Deng Peng After finishing his studies, he will serve the aero-engine company and have nothing to do with AVIC. I don’t know, what does Lin Ming think?”

This idea has been deeply buried in Xu Cang's heart for a long time. Before that, Yifeng bought shares in the form of 21 ARJ[-]s. What he wanted to buy was not Spring Airlines, but this future aero-engine company.

That's right, the allure of an unestablished company is enough for Yi Feng to gamble with his career for the rest of his life.

Lin Ming took a deep look at Xu Cang: "Xu Cang, at the seminar before, you said that an engine with performance comparable to CFM56 would be built in five years, were you joking?"

Xu Cang's eyes flickered: "Boss Lin, do I think I'm the kind of person who likes to joke around?"

"But, I rejected you at that time!"

"So, now I will give you another chance!" Xu Cang stretched out a finger, with an extremely solemn expression: "This is the last chance."

Lin Ming stopped slightly, looking more dignified than ever: "Xu Cang, your courage doesn't match your age, it really opened my eyes. Until just now, I felt that you had let go of that matter."

Xu Cang raised his chin: "Boss Lin, your decision won't affect my future plans. Although what I say next may not sound good, I'm giving you a chance"

Lin Ming put down the teacup in his hand, without the slightest teasing or contempt on his face: "Xu Cang, it's still the same problem. Even if you get the three-rotor technology, what about the low-pressure fan and superalloy? The three mountains will be removed." One, the remaining two are enough to overwhelm us. So, Xu Cang! I admire your courage, but AVIC doesn’t”

Just when Lin Ming was about to make a decision, Xu Cang uttered an explosive speech that made Lin Ming feel dizzy.

"I found it! Whether it's a low-pressure fan or a high-temperature alloy, I have found a way out!" Xu Cang finally showed a smile: "As long as I can survive Luo Luo's actual machine test, no one will be able to find a way out." You can stop me now. Mr. Lin, this is a glimmer of light before dawn, so I ask you to seriously consider whether you want to seize this only opportunity?"

Time flies, two days passed in a blink of an eye, Xu Cang is no longer in Erhai Lake, but flew to the work area of ​​Rongfu Airport.Here, he is here to try to solve the problem of the Rongfu route.

As Si Weimin said before, to solve the flight route problem in Rongfu, it is necessary to find the local snake at Rongfu Airport, and Rongcheng Airlines is the local snake at Rongfu Airport.

In the office of the Vice President of Operations on the tenth floor of the Chengdu Aviation Base Building, Xu Cang was sitting opposite the Vice President of Operations of Chengdu Airlines.He used to be just a little pilot with a low profile, but now he is able to dominate many things, such as talking with the vice president of operations of Chengdu Airlines with an equal attitude.

"Xu Cang, we at Rongcheng Airlines want to thank you for the engine incident last time." The vice president of operations looked quite young, his shiny black hair was fixed with pomade, and he looked meticulous, even if he was separated by two meters Xu Cang could still smell the men's perfume on the opposite side.

Xu Cang smiled and said, "It's just a trivial matter."

The reason for Xu Cang's previous forced landing at Shandong Airlines was the leakage caused by the quality problem of the short fuel pipe of the A320 engine at that time.After the incident, A320s across the country were grounded.The fleet of Chengdu Airlines is basically based on A320. This grounding almost killed Chengdu Airlines.

In the end, it was Xu Cang who provided a solution, and then the cause of the accident was found out in the fastest time, and the A320 was allowed to fly again.

The vice president of operations didn't worry about that matter anymore, but asked with a smile: "Xu Cang, what's the matter with us this time?"

Xu Cang didn't beat around the bush: "It's like this. Our Spring Airlines intends to open the route between Jianchuan and Rongfu. However, there are many restrictions on the application of the route. Considering that Rongcheng Airlines is here at Rongfu Airport, we still say the same thing. Yes, so I came to ask Chengdu Airlines for help."

The vice president of operation raised his eyebrows: "It turned out to be a matter of applying for the route to Rongfu. That's right, among other things, in this kind of matter, we Chengdu Airlines can indeed provide a lot of convenience."

Hearing this, Xu Cang was overjoyed: "Then I would like to thank Mr. Zheng for your help. Afterwards, we will be rewarded by Spring and Summer Airlines."

"Hey! Let's forget about rewards or something."

Xu Cang hurriedly said, "Where can this be?"

"I don't get paid for nothing, I didn't even plan to help, what kind of reward do you want?" There was a hint of gloom in the smile of the vice president of operation: "Xu Cang, do you think it makes sense?"

Xu Cang was going to say something at first, but when he heard the truth, his face suddenly froze with joy: "Mr. Zheng, are you planning to help?"

"Xu Cang, you have dealt with so many special circumstances. I am afraid that you are not stupid when flying a plane? You asked us to apply to the bureau to revoke the title of meritorious pilot of Wang Baotian. For this matter alone, we in Rongcheng are considered to be among the pilot circles. You lost face and asked us to help you. You are not flying a plane, what is it?" The vice president of operations sneered, "Or do you really think that Rongcheng Airlines is grateful for your kindness?"

The five fingers of Xu Cang's left hand tapped lightly on the armrest of the sofa, the astonishment on his face quickly disappeared, and a smile appeared instead.Now Xu Cang's breath is calm, this little matter naturally won't make him have too many emotional fluctuations.

The Rongfu route is somewhat important to Spring Airlines, after all, the rate of return is there.However, it is not to the point of hurting the muscles and bones. In addition, this matter is not only to be entrusted to Rongcheng Airlines.

Since Rongcheng Airlines is unwilling, then Xu Cang is too lazy to talk to Mr. Zheng.

Without any begging, Xu Cang got up directly and nodded slightly: "It seems that I was abrupt."

After finishing speaking, Xu Cang turned around and wanted to leave, without any intention of staying.

However, just as Xu Cang was about to leave the office, the voice of the vice president of operation suddenly came from behind: "Wait!"

Xu Cang paused and turned slightly sideways: "I don't know what orders Mr. Zheng has?"

There was a trace of confusion on the face of the vice president of operations, but he seemed to have made up his mind soon: "Xu Cang, you seem to have a good relationship with the Airbus headquarters."

Not long ago, during the Jakarta volcanic ash incident, it was reported that Xu Cang was on the same plane as the COO of Airbus. Moreover, during the grounding of the A320, Li Rongxian, the head of Airbus Asia Pacific, often went to see Xu Cang. These things are more obvious evidence.

Xu Cang did not answer this question directly, but instead asked: "What do you want to do?"

"We can help with the Rongfu route, and if it's just the Jianchuan-Rongfu route, I can assure you that it will be done!" A greedy gleam flashed in the eyes of the vice president of operations: "However, you We need to get Airbus headquarters to give us the production capacity of an A380 within five years."

Ten minutes later, Xu Cang appeared in the small square in front of the main entrance of the Rongcheng Aviation Base Building.After coming out, Xu Cang looked back at the base building of Rongcheng Airlines, and snorted disdainfully: "Do you have to rush to die?"

As the VP of Operations said, the A380 is extremely hot right now.However, the production capacity of A380 is so large that many airlines are not even qualified to purchase A380.In fact, Blue Sky Airlines would not be eligible to buy the A380 if it wasn't for Muhua Aviation's help.

It is quite unfortunate that Chengdu Airlines, an airline mainly based on Airbus, does not have the qualifications to purchase A380. The production capacity of the A380 has been scheduled for 15 years, and the day lily is cold.

Not long ago, Blue Sky Airlines has started warming up for the A380.With the gimmick of the first A380 in China, Blue Sky Airlines has earned a lot of attention during this period, and Rongcheng Airlines is itching to see it.

As the saying goes, watching others make money is more uncomfortable than losing money yourself. How can you bear this kind of uselessness?Moreover, judging from the market response, the A380 is indeed quite popular, and it is already full of topics before it is officially launched.

Therefore, Chengdu Airlines also intends to gamble on the A380.Moreover, unlike the hybrid aircraft of Blue Sky Airlines, Chengdu Airlines is an all-Airbus model, and the cost of the model is much lower than that of Blue Sky Airlines, which further intensifies the idea of ​​Chengdu Airlines investing in the A380.

However, regional airlines like Chengdu Airlines have no face at Airbus headquarters.It is basically a daydream if Airbus wants to give him the production capacity of an A380.

It just so happened that Xu Cang had a request for Rongcheng Airlines, and the Vice President of Operations of Rongcheng Airlines was quite active, so he wanted Xu Cang to mediate.What they want is not much, just an A380, and it is still possible to operate if they want it.

Maybe it was because of jealousy. When Xu Cang mentioned the Jianchuan-Rongfu route with three flights a day, the vice president of operation gritted his teeth and agreed. As long as Xu Cang can persuade the Airbus headquarters to allocate an A380 If there is no production capacity, then I will handle the Jianchuan-Rongfu route for Xu Cang.

You must know that Jianchuan-Rongfu operates three shifts a day, even for a giant company like Muhua, it feels a little tricky.Even though Rongcheng Airlines is the local airline of Rongfu and has a different influence, it is quite difficult to handle.

That's it, the vice president of operation of Rongcheng Airlines can fully agree.It can be seen that he was really impatient and went all out.

Of course Xu Cang agreed with all his heart, and he didn't lose anything anyway, so he agreed first before talking.In fact, Xu Cang knew in his heart that his relationship with the Airbus headquarters had been settled long ago, and it might not be easy for the Airbus headquarters to even out the production capacity of an A380.

"Someone wants to commit suicide, I can't pass the knife yet, tsk tsk tsk." Xu Cang is not too worried, so he should go back and think slowly.In a few days, I will take part in Muhua Airlines' Boeing 777 transoceanic flight. Let's put aside the matter of Rongcheng Airlines, anyway, it's not in a hurry.

Just when Xu Cang was about to leave the gate of Rongcheng Airlines, his cell phone rang suddenly, and it turned out that the call was still an international call.

Xu Cang thought it was a scam call at first and planned to hang up, but after thinking about it, he thought of a possibility, so he answered it anyway.

As soon as the call was connected, the voice of Airbus Chief Financial Officer Leo came from the other side: "Xu Cang, how about you come in?"

"Very good, ate well, slept well." Xu Cang said a few perfunctory words, and immediately got to the point: "Boeing 737 has a problem with the supercharging under the rear of the aircraft?"

Previously, Xu Cang encountered some unexpected problems with the elevator sensor centering device on the 1566 aircraft, which resulted in a serious tail rub during takeoff.At that time, the right seat was pressurized due to manual intervention, causing the aircraft body to explode and damage.

Afterwards, Xu Cang once questioned the loopholes in the procedures for wiping the tail of the aircraft in the Boeing manual.In the end, Li Rongcheng combined various factors and told Xu Cang not to mention this matter.Later, Xu Cang accepted Li Rongcheng's opinion, but secretly asked Leo to conduct a systematic research on this issue through the Airbus laboratory.

"That's right! The research report is complicated. If you need it, I can fax it to you. Simply put, in some serious tail strikes, the booster system of the Boeing 737 will be destructive to the airframe structure Damaged." Leo said: "In our multiple tests, when the pressure difference is as low as 8.7 PSI, the airframe has obvious cracks. According to our definition of the strength of the aircraft airframe, that kind of crack can already lead to certain areas. The body inside can no longer produce support and wrapping."

"8.7 PSI?" Xu Cang narrowed his eyes: "If it's smaller than the ultimate pressure difference of 9.1 PSI, it's completely possible."

"That's right! The occurrence of this situation is directly related to the initial damage to the fuselage caused by the tail rubbing, and the instantaneous maximum pressure difference of the booster system. After I fax you the specific content, you can read it slowly." Leo He smiled and said, "Xu Cang, I didn't expect you to discover such a big loophole in Boeing. Although it is not very fatal, if it is spread out, it will be a big blow to Boeing's stock price. If this thing is discovered by Airbus Yes, Boeing must be rectified."

Xu Cang raised his eyebrows, and said suddenly: "Then I allow you to publicize this research report?"

"Huh?" Leo was stunned: "Xu Cang, don't you need to exchange this report with Boeing for some hush money? I think Boeing is happy to pay for this report."

"It's not a wise choice to seek skin from a tiger! Besides, I can get more benefits from other places." Xu Cang said with a smile: "Also, I think you Airbus are also quite willing to use this to disgust Boeing? Of course , with your Airbus capabilities, it is possible to cut off any contact with me from this report, right?"

"That's natural!" Leo never expected that Xu Cang would be willing to give Airbus the evidence pointing directly at the strength of the Boeing 737's airframe and the loopholes in Boeing's manual: "Xu Cang, you just gave it to us for nothing?"

Xu Cang smiled lightly, and he had already made up his mind: "I have a friend who wants to get the production capacity allocation of an A380 within five years. If possible, this is the return I want!"
