Return to 2000: Captain of the Great Powers

Chapter 237 Xu Cang accepts disciples! (Please subscribe!)

That night, a helicopter sent Xu Cang and others from Qitai Airport to Shule Airport.The powerful airflow at Qitai Airport made the helicopter almost out of control, and it landed back shortly after it rose for the first time.After waiting for more than two hours, the helicopter took off again when the wind subsided.

Due to various delays, when Xu Cang returned to Shule Airport, the sky was full of stars and it was close to midnight.

Bi Lin said a few words of encouragement to Xu Cang, and then took a special plane to Hanjing without stopping.Don't look at Bi Lin's age, he can withstand such a toss.

However, Xu Cang was not worried. Bi Lin did not go to Hanjing alone, but was accompanied by Wang Li, station chief of Qitai Airport.

Xu Cang's plan was to go to Urumqi first in the afternoon of the next day, and then go back to Erhai Lake from Urumqi. That night, he had to spend the night at the Shule Airport Hotel again.

The mentality this time was much more comfortable than last night, and even the people in the hotel pointed Xu Cang and others to a place for outdoor barbecue, which was next to the lake.

Xu Cang, Zhou Yanping, Ma Cheng, and Di Qingquan went out together.Even though it was past midnight, the four of them were still in high spirits, especially Zhou Yanping, who was yelling all the way, how could he look like an executive of Tiandong Airlines?
The outdoor barbecue place mentioned by the front desk of the hotel is actually a bonfire pile made of stones, which should have been made by someone before. When Xu Cang came over, he could still find some residual ashes and charcoal in the stone pile.

The barbecue place is next to the lake, and there are not many flammable bushes and trees around, and, being next to the lake, it is easy to fight if something happens.

I bought some meat from the hotel, and borrowed some barbecue equipment, and the four of them sat around the fire and got busy.

Shule is still a little cold at night.However, when the fire came on, the surroundings were warm and lively, but there was no chill, and after drinking a few glasses of wine, it didn't feel like midnight at all, and the atmosphere was extremely warm.

The meat needs to be grilled for a while, Xu Cang is not very good at it, but Zhou Yanping is easy to catch, he is busy dressing the meat, brushing the ingredients, and keeping an eye on the progress of the grilling, but he is the busiest of the four. of.

Zhou Yanping did most of the work by himself, and the rest of Di Qingquan could only be responsible for distributing the tableware and tidying up the surrounding environment. Even the unsmiling Ma Cheng was looking for firewood nearby, and only Xu Cang was wrapped in a Coat, curled up into a ball, looking longingly at the sizzling barbecue.

Although Xu Cang didn't consume much physical energy at Qitai Airport during the day, he consumed a lot of mental energy. He always felt tired and didn't want to move.Instructor Chen Guoli, who was flying with Xu Cang, went to bed as soon as he arrived at the hotel. He really couldn't stand it anymore.

Looking at Xu Cang who was yawning and not very energetic, Zhou Yanping who was playing with the barbecue laughed and said, "Is this lack of energy? You young man is very weak, what will you do when you find a wife in the future?"

Xu Cang rolled his eyes and snorted, "Are all the people in Tiandong Airlines such a gossip?"

"Hey, I'm thinking about your future. You're only young, you're under 30 years old, shouldn't it be the time when you're a dragon and a tiger? It's not okay." Zhou Yanping took out a stick from the pile of meat. The waist worn by red willow: "Come on, hurry up and mend it, our hero must not be liked by women."

Xu Cang was speechless on the spot, why didn't he realize that Zhou Yanping was talking dirty in circles before.However, compared to Zhou Yanping's ridicule, Xu Cang looked at the bloodshot kidney in the middle, and the corner of his mouth twitched: "There is still blood here, roast it, roast it!"

"What are you baking? If you bake it again, it will be overdone. Hurry up and make sure it's full."

Zhou Yanping didn't know why, but he was so excited that he forced a bunch of kidneys into Xu Cang's hands.Seeing that Xu Cang was still hesitating, Zhou Yanping suddenly beamed with joy: "Let me tell you, this kidney is very fresh, and when you go back, you won't be able to eat it if you want. Oh, you said you were so fierce on the plane, Why can't you come down?"

Xu Cang immediately clicked his lips: "What do you mean it's not working?"

Isn't it just a kidney? Although the taste is a bit strong, it shouldn't be a big deal.

Some people like things like kidneys very much, and think that those who can't eat it are all putting on airs.But Xu Cang really couldn't bear this strong taste, especially when he ate it once before he was reborn, and he didn't know if he didn't deal with it properly. It tasted disgusting in his mouth, and he almost smoked Xu Cang to death.

However, the airport hotel they stayed in was not open to the outside world, it was a residence for internal staff, so they were more careful about the ingredients.

Seeing Zhou Yanping's hideous smile, Xu Cang simply bit down, and half of his waist was gone.At first, Xu Cang could still taste some peculiar smells, but soon he felt that there was nothing unacceptable about the taste, and later he gradually felt that it was quite delicious.

"Hey, it's really okay." Xu Cang's brows gradually relaxed, he chewed faster and faster, and tasted finer and finer.

Seeing Xu Cang's appearance, Zhou Yanping smiled: "Let me tell you, as long as the ingredients are good and fresh enough, tsk tsk tsk, how can it be bad? How can I say it?"

"Okay, okay, delicious!" Xu Cang swallowed the rest of the kidney again, with a smile on his face.

Fresh things really are different.

Zhou Yanping clapped his hands and shouted to his surroundings: "Brothers, our brother Xu has a lot of money, so we won't argue with him for a while, and let him have it all."

So, no matter what, it's not a barbecue that can solve it.If not, then two meals.The atmosphere was heightened here, and Zhou Yanping had already begun to call him a brother.Di Qingquan heard Zhou Yanping teasing Xu Cang the whole time, so naturally he booed, and even Ma Cheng, who was collecting firewood next to him, responded.

Xu Cang didn't feel much about Zhou Yanping calling him Brother Xu. Everyone was happy, so there was no need to struggle with the address.It's just that what does it mean that I have a waist, and it sounds like I have a kidney deficiency, and I'm only in my 20s!

"Oh, just now I saw a sheep whip in the back kitchen of the hotel. I thought you, a Weiyang person, wouldn't be able to eat it, so I didn't want it. Tsk tsk tsk, it's a pity, it's a pity, why don't I go back now? I felt a little embarrassed when I shouted." Zhou Yanping said bitterly, it was a pity.

When the four of them asked for barbecue supplies from the hotel, the person in charge of the kitchen had already gone to bed.However, that person has a good temper, and even got up dressed to make it easier for the group.But it's really not good to go back and disturb others now.

"Forget it, forget it, it's almost enough, do you really feed me like a pig?" Xu Cang said.

"Hey, it's not because of you." Zhou Yanping sat on the stone next to Xu Cang: "Xu Cang, you really did a great job this time, and I will be grateful to you for your care in the future."

With half of the kidney still in his mouth, Xu Cang said vaguely, "Brother Zhou, have you just drank so much that you started talking nonsense?"

"He's not talking nonsense, he's clear-headed." Ma Cheng, who was picking up firewood just now, threw his things aside, sat down with a half-smile, and drank a glass of wine to warm his body: "Don't look at Zhou Yanping so carelessly." , You have a lot of eyes. In the past, he said that he was grateful for your care, maybe it was really nonsense, but it is different now, it is the real truth."

Xu Cang raised his eyebrows: "What do you mean?"

"Xu Cang, do you and AVIC want to jointly set up an aviation materials company to operate some Boeing aircraft materials? This is where you can take care of him in the future." At the end, Ma Cheng also glanced at Zhou Yanping: " Isn’t that right, Mr. Zhou?”

Zhou Yanping's skin was thicker than the corner of the city wall. He was not ashamed but proud of being exposed by Ma Cheng's small thoughts: "Mr. Ma, you still say that I have a lot of money. Compared with you, I am an honest man." Mr. Ma, let's talk about it, you Muhua Airlines have never suffered from that dog Luo Rong, huh?"

"Luo Rong?" Xu Cang snorted, the name seemed familiar.After a little recollection, Xu Cang immediately remembered that this was not the "comprador" at the bureau's LEAP engine seminar earlier, it seemed that this person was in the aviation materials business.

As soon as Ma Cheng heard this, his face became gloomy: "The heart is dark, who doesn't hate him?"

Di Qingquan also sighed when he heard what Zhou Yanping and Ma Cheng said: "This is the price of backward technology."

"But it still doesn't prevent Luo Rong from being a dog." Zhou Yanping seemed to have a lot of resentment towards that Luo Rong: "Just a while ago, we replaced the toilet seat cover on a 737 in Tiandong, how much money can it make? One or two hundred is too much. Do you know the price of genuine Boeing, three thousand! TMD, I really opened my eyes. Just here, that bastard Luo Rong will add 30.00% to the price , it couldn’t be more black.”

"What's a ten-fold increase?" Hearing Zhou Yanping's bitterness, Ma Cheng also joined in: "As for the LCD screen of DU on the plane, I specifically asked the people in Yangcheng Electronics City, 200 yuan a piece. When I showed it to Boeing, Boeing couldn’t even tell if it was genuine. As a result, the price of the genuine product was more than [-], and the price difference of [-] times was no different from stealing money.”

At this time, Xu Cang came up with a sentence: "Then since Boing himself can't tell if it's real or fake, let's replace it."

"It's not that simple. Each piece of aviation material has its own number, and it's recorded where it's used. It's easy to use it indiscriminately, and it will cause big problems." Zhou Yanping gritted his teeth: "Xu Cang, When your aviation material company is ready, we Tiandong will buy from you, and we will do it in a large quantity, at least don't be as black as that guy Luo Rong."

"I heard that you may be able to obtain the distribution rights of the Trent series engines in the future. Are you going to merge into the aviation materials company?" Ma Cheng asked.

This is really related to interests, because Muhua Airlines has a lot of Airbus 330s, and the demand for Trent 700 engines is still quite large.

Xu Cang did not hide anything: "If the cooperation with Rollo-Royce goes well, the Asia-Pacific distribution rights for the subsequent Trent series engines will be mine, and it will definitely be merged into the aviation materials company."

hiss!There was a lot of turmoil in Ma Cheng's heart, this thing turned out to be true!
"If it's a cooperation on aviation materials, then it's easy to talk about. I definitely want to make money, but I value the long-term operation of the cooperative relationship more."

"Yes, yes, this kind of cooperation should be described in detail. It's not like Luo Rong, who wants to make money today, but not tomorrow." Zhou Yanping was determined when he heard Xu Cang's words: " Come, come, eat meat, eat meat."

Judging from the previous interaction with Xu Cang, Xu Cang's character is indeed much better than Luo Rong's anthropomorphic creature who often refreshes the lower limit.But it's always good to be sure at last.Moreover, Zhou Yanping was more sensible, and did not ask Xu Cang about the specific intended price.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Ma Cheng also said: "Xu Cang, Muhua's demand for Boeing aviation materials is not as big as that of Tiandong, but the demand for Trent 700 engines will be great in the future, and there will definitely be many opportunities for cooperation in the future. "

"Being able to cooperate with Tiandong and Muhua is naturally something I wish for." Xu Cang also complimented in a timely manner at this time.

Although aviation materials are a seller's market, facing Tiandong and Muhua, two high-quality customers, it is better not to put on a show, and say a few beautiful words without losing meat.

"Good, good, happy, happy!" Zhou Yanping was even more excited. The expenditure on aviation materials alone can save Tiandong a lot of money, which is not a small credit.

Now, the cooperation has been reached, the guests and the host have a good time, and the atmosphere has become even more enthusiastic.

Just as Xu Cang was enjoying his meal, suddenly Xu Cang felt something strange on his side, tilted his head slightly, and a face emerged from the darkness, already very close at hand.

Xu Cang suddenly stood up, his heartbeat almost stopped.It wasn't until he saw everything clearly that he realized that there was a young man beside him at some point.

Xu Cang supported his forehead and suppressed his heart that was approaching his throat: "Who are you?"

"I'm from the Surveying and Mapping Team of the Design Institute, and my name is Ji Dong." I don't know if it was the firelight, but Ji Dong's eyes were beating with light, which made Xu Cang very uncomfortable.

"Ji Dong?" Xu Cang searched his memory, as if he was not among the people he knew: "Have we met?"

"I've seen it!" Ji Dong said with certainty.

"Have you seen it?" Xu Cang was very suspicious: "Really?"

Ji Dong made a gesture for taking pictures: "I took pictures of your plane from the top of the mountain."

"Ah? It's you guys." Now Xu Cang suddenly realized that the person he saw on the hill below was Ji Dong.After confirming his identity in this way, Xu Cang immediately asked Ji Dong to sit down: "Sit down and eat together. It must be very strenuous for you to climb that snow-capped mountain, right?"

"It's not too strenuous, and the snow-capped mountains are not steep." Sitting beside Xu Cang, Ji Dong immediately asked, "Brother Xu, I haven't seen you in the flight test team. You're not from the flight test academy, are you? Is it a professional pilot, an airline?"

Xu Cang said while eating: "Chunxia Airlines, you probably haven't heard of it."

"Spring and Summer Airlines?" Ji Dong searched his stomach, but he really didn't remember what kind of airline company Spring and Summer Airlines was. He knew about Spring and Summer Tourism Group.

Ji Dong scratched his head: "It's because I'm ignorant."

"It's just established, it's normal if you don't know." Xu Cang also handed Ji Dong a meat skewer: "I didn't see you in the helicopter before, how did you come here?"

"There's another one behind, so I'm a little late." Ji Dong took the meat skewers without stopping: "Brother Xu, I heard that your civil aviation pilots also accept apprentices, right?"

Xu Cang didn't think much about it: "Yeah, what's wrong?"

"Then what do you think of me, I will be your apprentice?"

Xu Cang almost spat out the meat in his mouth: "You want to be a teacher? No, you are not in the surveying and mapping team of the Design Institute. You want to enter civil aviation. The key point is that you don't have a private business instrument, how can you enter an airline?"

"Private business instrument? My uncle opened an aviation school, and I can learn it anytime." Ji Dong said seriously.

"Your uncle has an aviation school, here." Xu Cang subconsciously looked at Di Qingquan.

But seeing Di Qingquan helplessly said: "Ji Kaiming's son is very rich."

"Ji Kaiming?" Xu Cang was taken aback, and the four words Northwest Fruit King immediately appeared in his mind!

It seems that in the future, nearly one-third of the mid-to-high-end fruit business in China will be Ji Kaiming, which is indeed at the level of a big boss.It's just that if the Ji Kaiming that Di Qingquan said told himself that the Ji Kaiming he knew was alone, then why does the son of the fruit tycoon look not very smart?

"That's right, I'm quite rich. Brother Xu, you can be your personal flight instructor. You can set a price, as long as you are willing." Ji Dong said immediately, the arrogance really is the style of the rich second generation.

Xu Cang wanted to make sure: "Where is your orchard?"

Ji Dong didn't quite understand Xu Cang's meaning, but he answered truthfully: "The main ones are Shule and Wushi, and there are some scattered and small ones, what's the matter?"

"Sure enough!" Then this matched the information I knew.

This really met the second generation of the boss!
However, even if Ji Kaiming is not as bright as the future, he should be a famous person now, how can he let his son join the surveying and mapping team of the Design Institute?

"Why are you in the surveying and mapping team?" Xu Cang smiled and said, "Not in your orchard?"

Ji Dong laughed: "I'm not interested in doing business, I just like flying. My dad doesn't object, but he said that if I want to fly, I must do my best. I just think, I want to do it The best, so why not find the best teacher? I inquired and inquired, and I said that Dean Bi of the Flight Test Academy is the best, so I went to find him."

The corner of Xu Cang's mouth twitched a few times, this maneuver was really missing a string in his mind, can Bi Lin find this matter?When Di Qingquan and others heard Ji Dong's words, they also held back their laughter, as if they were about to lose their temper.

"Ahem, what did Dean Bi say?" Xu Cang asked.

"Dean Bi said that I was impatient and couldn't fly yet. So he introduced me to the design institute next door and let me join the surveying and mapping team, saying that I was going out to work to grind my temper." Ji Dong spread his hands: "I have done it for two years. It has been more than a year, and I have been promoted to the captain of the surveying and mapping team. If I continue to do this, I have to take root in surveying and mapping, so I am naturally unwilling. Moreover, I found a very serious problem."

"Huh?" Xu Cang suddenly became interested: "What serious problem?"

Even Di Qingquan and the others pricked up their ears, wanting to hear some shocking discoveries about maneuvers.

Ji Dong lowered his voice and said mysteriously: "I strongly suspect that Dean Bi is fooling me!"

Xu Cang smiled awkwardly: "If that's what you said, then you don't have to doubt it."

"Hahaha!"

Xu Cang held back, but Di Qingquan and the others couldn't hold back.They really couldn't understand how Ji Kaiming, such a powerful person, gave birth to such an innocent son.

Xu Cang chuckled a few times, and patted Ji Dong on the shoulder: "Dean Bi is very accurate in seeing people. It seems that you are not suitable for flying. You should go back and inherit the family business. How many people will not envy you."

"Yeah, you're already lying on the golden mountain, and you still want to fly, isn't it unnecessary?" Zhou Yanping laughed.

Zhou Yanping was very happy to see this cute rich second generation, it was really interesting.

Ji Dong sighed old-fashionedly: "It's not easy to do business now, but you can't just wait to die when you go back."

"Why, are there still some difficulties?"

Xu Cang was just asking casually, but Ji Dong followed suit: "Fruits are all going to high-end now. But the market in the northwest is not big, and those high-end fruits can't be digested. There is a market in the east, but the fruit is so expensive. Fresh products are not suitable for long-distance transportation, it is difficult."

It seems that Ji Dong is not completely indifferent to family affairs.

However, this sentence fell into Xu Cang's ears like a thunderbolt, and he suddenly said: "What if it is transported by plane?"

"Huh?" Ji Dong was stunned: "What are you talking about, transporting it by plane will lose money, right?"

In this era, people generally still regard air transportation as a high-end transportation method.For cargo transportation, water or rail transportation is generally preferred, and even road transportation is too expensive.

But Ji Dong also said just now that the fruit is a fresh product, so it is not suitable for long-distance transportation.So, if you want to sell high-end fruit, the best way to keep the quality is by air.It can only be said that Ji Dong's vision has not been opened yet, and he has not fully understood how prosperous the domestic consumer market will be.

Because of the abundant sunlight, the Northwest region has really good fruit quality, which is very suitable for the mid-to-high-end market.Moreover, in the future, the domestic express delivery industry will experience terrifying development along with e-shopping. If you want to catch the ride of this era, you must plan ahead.

It may be Xu Cang's attempt in the field of freight to airlift high-quality fruits from the Northwest to the developed regions in the East.

"No, it takes a try."

In any case, Xu Cang has never done freight transportation, so he can only judge by some major trends in the future.Therefore, he did not dare to make an accurate judgment, but it was definitely worth a try.

Ma Cheng and Zhou Yanping next to him didn't react at all. They were not very interested in things in this unknown field.Although Tiandong and Muhua also have freight departments, they are not the main force after all.

On the contrary, Di Qingquan raised his eyebrows: "Xu Cang, do you really want a freight license?"

"Is it possible?" Xu Cang asked back.

"Yes, yes, it's just... is it really a good idea to airlift the fruit?"

Various thoughts kept flashing in Xu Cang's mind. According to future experience, the air transport market is enough to support a giant logistics company, but now it seems that this field has not yet formed an inherent pattern, and it seems that he can try it.

Xu Cang finally turned to Ji Dong and said seriously: "Can you let me meet your father?"

Xu Cang was in high spirits that night, but because he ate too much kidney, he had a nosebleed in the middle of the night, which really scared everyone.

However, Ji Dong is willing to contact his father and introduce him on his behalf.As a result, after learning about it, he realized that Ji Kaiming had gone abroad, and he would have to wait for a while before returning home.Ji Dong expressed his regret about this, but Xu Cang didn't care too much, it wouldn't hurt to wait a while.However, his father has gone abroad, and as a son, he still doesn't know anything, so Xu Cang feels quite incredible about the relationship between Ji's father and son.

Since Ji Kaiming won't be able to meet for a while, Xu Cang doesn't plan to stay in the northwest for a long time. He transfers to Urumqi the next day, and then returns to Erhai Lake.

Just when Xu Cang was leaving for Erhai Lake, a group of the best civil aviation pilots in China gathered in a conference room of the Hanjing Civil Aviation Administration, some of whom had participated in the convening of the single-engine verification at Qitai Airport before.

However, apart from them this time, there are some new faces.Compared with those civil aviation pilots, the breath of this group of people is condensed and connected as one. Apart from the sound of breathing, there is no other movement, and the discipline is directly full.Especially the person in the front row of this group of people, whose aura is as deep as the sea, and it is even more fascinating.

On the stage, Bi Lin served as the host, and the Director of the Department of Transport, Tan Linlin, and the Director of the Airport Department, Xin Xin, sat in the auditorium.

A video was playing on the projection behind Bi Lin, the content was exactly the picture of Xu Cang flying in the canyon.This video is from the footage shot by Ji Dong and Wang Wen on the top of the mountain.

At first, the arena was still silent.However, when the plane was making a nearly non-radius turn with that unbelievable maneuver, some civil aviation pilots suddenly stood up, their eyes full of disbelief.

Even another group of highly disciplined teams heard slight surprises.And the headed one showed his eyes even brighter, and seemed to be a little interested.

When the plane finished turning its nose, Bi Lin on the stage pressed the stop button and said in a deep voice: "In the future, you will practice this movement on the simulator. If you have any questions, you can directly feedback to me. There will be a person in front of each of you. This is a brochure, which is the experience summed up by the crew involved, and you can use it as a reference."

After Bi Lin finished speaking, everyone in the field turned their gazes down to the brochure in front of them.The brochure was not beautifully printed and looked a bit hastily produced.

Some people can't help frowning after reading it. It contains details about artificially turning on the EEC hard standby mode under maximum thrust, and using the standby flaps to independently deploy the leading edge device, as well as how to start the real lift and how to turn. to explain.

It's just that the content in it is too extreme, and some of them are obviously against the regulations, which makes many pilots feel bad.

"Mr. Bi, let's practice according to the above, isn't it a problem? Let's say that the EEC hard standby under the maximum thrust will not cause the engine to exceed the limit?" Someone asked a question.

This was the voice of everyone, but Bi Lin said bluntly: "Let's do this for the time being, and we will summarize and modify it in the follow-up contact, in order to obtain a relatively safe operating procedure."

After Bi Lin said that, everyone stopped talking and began to study the booklet in their hands.It is said that the crew at that time completed the turn without radius according to this operation procedure.As long as you are a pilot, who wouldn't be fascinated by it?For a while, there was already a sound of discussion in the field.

However, as soon as the discussion started, Bi Lin tapped on the table with his cane. Immediately, the voices in the field quieted down, and everyone focused their attention on Bi Lin.

There was a trace of fatigue on Bi Lin's face, but his voice was as loud as ever: "Let me explain again, whether it is this booklet or the operating procedures we will set in the future, they are not official. All the paperwork in the training Documents are not allowed to appear in any form of official words, stamped with any official seal, or signed by any official personnel. The airline company you belong to is also not allowed to publish relevant documents in the name of the airline company. This stage of training is only for Technology exchange exists. Do you understand what I mean?"

Bi Lin's voice was like the winter wind, everyone in the center trembled and responded, expressing their complete understanding.

After finishing speaking, Bi Lin seemed to feel that it was not enough. Looking around at everyone, he said in a cold voice: "If you participate, you must abide by the rules. If you feel that you can't abide by the rules, you can quit now, and I will not pursue it. However, if you participate in the training , and violated the regulations, especially when talking about this matter to outsiders, everything will be handled according to the highest standards!"

Bi Lin already had a lot of prestige, with such words, it was really audible in the audience.

Seeing that no one quit, Bi Lin was quite satisfied, and waved his hand: "Okay, today I just want to let you know, we'll be here, let's go."

As the end signaled the end of the meeting, the civil aviation pilots on the field soon left seven or eight eight.But the other group of people didn't move at all, as if they hadn't heard the order to end the meeting, until the middle-aged man in the front row stood up and said softly: "Let's go, go back and wait in the second meeting room."

With an order, more than a dozen people stood up neatly, and lined up to leave the venue in a very disciplined manner.When Tan Linlin and Xin Xin were the only ones left in the field, the middle-aged man walked up to the stage and supported Bi Lin who was a bit tired: "Dean, you have been tossing around these days, don't you want to take a break?"

"It's okay! Most of Qitai's matter has been settled, and I have lost a lot of my thoughts. I will just take care of it later."

The middle-aged man nodded.But soon, a cold light flashed in his eyes: "Dean, Xu Cang's stay in Civil Aviation is simply a waste of money. Do you want to force him to enter the test flight academy?"
