Chapter 238 Min Zhuang Air Crash! (Please subscribe!)

Although civil aviation became independent from the Air Force 20 years ago, the two are still inextricably linked.The middle-aged man's words were a bit domineering, but there was absolutely no room for manipulation.

Most of the middle-aged man's words are full of dark meanings, and he seems to be a man of his word.

"Chief Chen, are you going to say this in front of us?" The middle-aged man had just finished speaking, and before Bi Lin could speak, Tan Linlin spoke first. She and Xin Xin came slowly, with faces There was a hint of a smile, but the extent of the smile was unknown.

This middle-aged man was none other than the Chief Test Pilot of the Piloting Academy, and he was also a well-known figure.

The middle-aged man didn't change at all when faced with Tan Linlin's eccentric words, instead he snorted, "What did I say wrong?"

On this occasion, Xin Xin was the youngest in seniority. Even as the director of the airport department, he only smiled dryly to mediate the dispute between Tan Linlin and the middle-aged man.It's just that Xin Xin is not a guy who doesn't know anything. He can see that the relationship between the chief of the flight test institute and Tan Linlin, the director of the transportation department, seems to be different.

Tan Linlin rolled her eyes: "Now is not the time to integrate military and civil aviation. It's so majestic to force people from our civil aviation system to transfer to the flight test institute."

"Xu Cang staying in Civil Aviation is a waste of time, doing endless repetitive tasks. In such an environment, let Xu Cang kill his peak period, just kidding."

At this time, Xin Xin cautiously interjected: "Chief Chen, things may not be easy."

"What's wrong?" The middle-aged man asked back.

"Well, Xu Cang's current situation is more complicated. Although he belongs to CAAC, he will soon have another identity, the flight commissioner of the International Civil Aviation Organization. Then this affiliation relationship is... difficult to operate."

The middle-aged man was taken aback, and immediately shouted: "How can you let him be the commissioner of the International Civil Aviation Organization? Damn it!"

According to Xin Xin's meaning, Xu Cang belongs to both CAAC and ICAO. Under such a complicated affiliation, it would be too troublesome to force Xu Cang to be transferred to the Flying Test Institute.

Xin Xin was quite helpless: "Xu Cang himself has a wish, and most of the internal audits have agreed, so we will report it later."

"Okay, that's enough!" Just as the three of them were arguing, Bi Lin sipped softly and interrupted the argument.He just said indifferently: "Xu Cang is an unrestrained person, forcing him to enter the flight test academy will easily make him develop rebellious emotions."

The middle-aged man sneered and said, "Then grind his temper."

Bi Lin didn't speak, but just glanced at the middle-aged man indifferently.The moment he made eye contact with Bi Lin, the middle-aged man immediately lowered his head: "Principal, I've said too much."

"If Xu Cang wants to come to the Flying Test Institute, the door will naturally be opened to him. If he doesn't want to come...forget it, Yulong that time, and Qitai this time, he has the right to choose freely." Bi Lin spoke Looking at Tan Linlin: "Xiaolin, take care of Xu Cang's small company in the future, do you understand what I mean?"

In front of Bi Lin, Tan Linlin was extremely well-behaved: "Old Bi, of course I understand, but how should I grasp this speed?"

Taking care of him must be taken care of, Bi Lin even spoke up, this face must be given.Moreover, Xu Cang did a great job at Qitai Airport, both public and private, Xu Cang should be under the care of the General Administration.

It's just that Tan Linlin doesn't know how much to take care of, after all, this kind of thing has never happened before, and there is no reference.

Bi Lin smiled: "What you do to Sanshang, you do to Xu Cang's small company."

Xin Xin's face changed drastically. After all, Lin wanted to bring Spring and Summer Airlines to the same treatment as the three major airlines. Isn't this a bit too much?

"Old Bi, the three major airlines all have their own basic boards, what about Xu Cang's Spring and Summer Airlines?"

"National University Airlines occupies the north, Tiandong Airlines occupies the east, Muhua Airlines occupies the south, isn't there a west?" Bi Lin chuckled.

"This..." The expression on Tan Linlin's face was a little unnatural, and she said cautiously: "Old Bi, there is Rongfu Airport in the west. It is likely to become the fourth aviation hub in the southwest region in the future. Just give it to Spring Airlines?"

If Bi Lin wanted to hand over Jianchuan Airport to Chunxia Airlines, then Tan Linlin didn't think it would be a problem.It is fair that the priority at Jianchuan Airport is used as a reward for Xu Cang's meritorious service.

The ultimate priority of the airport is that the three major airlines are in the three hubs, and even the opening of international routes by other airlines in the three hubs must be approved by the three local airlines.Having airport priority means the best time and the best supporting services. The easiest to understand and the most common situation is that when there is a delay, the aircraft of the airline with airport priority can usually take off earlier.

But what Bi Lin was talking about was not Jianchuan Airport, but the west. The Rongfu Airport in the west is developing very fast, and it has a great tendency to become the fourth pole in China.The three major airlines are all staring at it. This can make Spring and Summer Airlines, a fledgling airline company, take over, and the three major airlines will not be able to turn the sky upside down.

The issue of profit distribution involved in this is too cruel, Tan Linlin dare not accept Bi Lin's words.

Bi Lin raised his eyelids: "I don't pay much attention to civil aviation. According to what you said, there are many people staring at Rong Mansion. It's a piece of fat. How many people are staring at it?"

Tan Linlin said honestly, "Everyone is watching."

Bi Lin couldn't help but fell silent. It's not that he is incapable of forcing this matter forward, but if he is too tough, it may make Xu Cang a target of public criticism.After all, blocking people's way of making money is a deep hatred.

"Mr. Bi, Rongfu Airport is a serious matter, and I'm afraid Xu Cang won't be able to handle it." Tan Linlin said cautiously: "As far as I know, there are not many Spring and Summer Airlines planes now, even if we give them the priority of Rongfu Airport." I am afraid that most of the power will be wasted, and many enemies have been established out of thin air."

After half a minute of silence, Bi Lin sighed and said, "Xiaolin, please inform the Southwest Bureau for me. And young man, please inform me about Jianchuan Airport."

Upon hearing this, Tan Linlin breathed a sigh of relief, and it seemed that Bi Lin finally took a step back: "Old Bi, thank you for understanding our difficulties."

"If Rongfu doesn't give it to him, then it will be in terms of other routes."

Tan Linlin answered immediately: "Of course we will make it easier."

"En." Bi Lin didn't speak any more, but slowly left the venue with the support of the middle-aged man.

When Bi Lin and the two left, Xin Xin approached Tan Linlin: "Sister Tan, do you think Mr. Bi really wants to give Rongfu Airport to Xu Cang, or is it just a negotiating tactic?"

The negotiating technique Xin Xin mentioned is to first raise a very high condition, and then lower the standard later, so that it is easier to be accepted.

However, Tan Linlin didn't think so: "You underestimate Old Bi. If he really doesn't care about it, his superiors will give him this face. Old Bi definitely has the energy. Hey, it's only been a while, little guy Xu Cang It’s already flying dragons in the sky.”

The day after Xu Cang went back to Erhai Lake, Xiao Lingyun happened to come back from South Korea.He didn't go back to Shekou immediately, but took a detour to Erhai Lake first.Anyway, there is a direct air route between Erhai Lake and Yangcheng, which is not troublesome.

The two did not meet in the house, but chatted while blowing the wind on the dirt slope next to the new base of Spring and Summer Airlines.

The dormitory buildings of Spring Airlines' new base have all been completed, and according to Duan Lang's intention, the formaldehyde inside is almost absorbed.In two days, find a special testing agency to come over and test formaldehyde on site.

Because the time between the completion of the new base dormitory building and the occupancy is too short, the follow-up employees must have some doubts about occupancy.Therefore, when the testing agency tests formaldehyde, it is done on-site to achieve the purpose of openness and eliminate employees' doubts.

During the removal of formaldehyde in the dormitory building, the main administrative building of the new base was also capped.In addition, there is a two-story cafeteria. There will be a canteen on the first floor of the cafeteria for the daily consumption of employees.In addition, there is a dedicated laundry room and gym.

There is also a dedicated aviation material warehouse in the corner of the base, and a vast parking lot next to the warehouse.Since there are no other airlines stationed here, the Erhai Municipal Government has granted Chunxia Airlines a large amount of land. Even if Chunxia Airlines develops in the future, this parking lot will definitely be enough.

Looking at the new base that has basically been built, Xu Cang was in a very happy mood, especially after hearing Xiao Lingyun talk about what he had seen in Korea, Xu Cang was even more happy.

"According to what you said, the land price in Jeju Island is very cheap now?" Xu Cang sat on the grass and looked at Xiao Lingyun with a smile: "Are you sure?"

Xiao Lingyun nodded: "Very sure! When Jeju Island announced the development of tourism at the beginning, it received a lot of hot money. Later, the South Korean government did not give the policy for a long time, so the investment boom did not continue. To be honest, Jeju Island is a tourist attraction. The innate conditions are not top-notch, and without government support, there will be no development at all. Isn’t it normal that the land price is low? Many companies that invested in the early stage have withdrawn their funds one after another, which basically represents the current trend of the investment environment in Jeju Island.”

Xu Cang was not surprised by this. At this point in time, Jeju Island is indeed a marginal area: "Then is Jeju Island restricting foreigners from buying land?"

"No! The South Korean government does not restrict foreigners from buying land. But Xu Cang, if you really want to buy land on Jeju Island, what do you want on the broken island? Why buy the land there? It's rotten in your hands. You can keep it for later. Are you going to farm?"

Xu Cang said with a smile: "Then what if the South Korean government strongly supports it in the future?"

"Impossible! It's been a few years, and the policy has been given long ago, so how can we wait until now?"

"That's right, it's now!" Xu Cang hummed lightly, "What does Asiana Airlines say? Has the tourism industry in Jeju Island been discussed yet?"

Xiao Lingyun sneered and said, "Can we still talk about it? I've seen the holiday villa invested by Asiana Airlines in Jeju Island. Not to mention people, there is not even a ghost in it. Just use the fringe industry to settle the compensation agreement." They can not agree to the matter. Not only agreed, but also happy."

"It's okay, they cried later." Xu Cang said, "What about the acquisition? What did they say?"

Xiao Lingyun shrugged his shoulders: "I only talked to the president, but nothing more. He is in a very bad situation now, but even so, he doesn't want to bet on you. It seems that he is 1 people who don't believe that the board of directors will be lowered." I sold Asiana to you for the price."

"Naturally, Asiana Airlines is not at the end of its rope, so they still have illusions. Moreover, Korean Air can offer a higher price, so there is really no reason to sell it to me at a lower price." Regarding Xiao Lingyun's unsuccessful acquisition , Xu Cang didn't seem to care much, as if everything was under his control.

"However, Asiana Airlines still has some foundations. If Asiana hangs around, it will take a little effort for Korean Air to kill Asiana."

After all, Asiana is the second largest airline in South Korea, and it is not a corner role. Even if Korean Air seizes the opportunity, it will take a lot of effort to push Asiana Airlines to the wall. .

"Isn't this just right?" Xu Cang stroked the front leaves with his fingers, with a smile on his face all the time: "The snipe and the clam compete."

Xiao Lingyun was taken aback for a moment, but then he was not sure: "Xu Cang, why do I feel that Asiana Airlines is not the only target of yours?"

Xu Cang raised his eyelids: "Korean Air is too strong in South Korea, even if we acquire Asiana Airlines later, we will still be suppressed by Korean Air, so the significance of our acquisition of Asiana Airlines will be greatly reduced. Now Korean Air wants to swallow Asiana Airlines in one fell swoop, but Asiana Airlines will resist instinctively. Small."

"Then I do know something. Korean Air has already started a price war. Korean Air's positioning is higher than that of Asiana Airlines. In this case, a price war is a lose-lose approach. Kill Asiana Airlines and force the top management of Asiana Airlines to submit." Xiao Lingyun said, and clicked his lips: "However, why do I feel that you want to clean up the two together? How is it possible? Korean Airlines has a deeper foundation than Asiana Airlines A lot, don't play with fire and get yourself involved. Besides, you are fighting on two fronts, the risk is too high, right?"

"I know the risk is great, but time is not waiting for me, and I have no choice." Xu Cang still didn't say a word. The next weak period of Korean Air will wait until 13 years later, which is too long.

"No, no, I still think it's too risky. Korean Air is not Asiana Airlines, so it's not so easy to shake."

However, Xu Cang raised a finger: "Ten years ago, the Tripoli plane crashed, three years ago, the Guam plane crash, and one year ago, the Minzhuang plane crash. Within ten years, Korean Air had three plane crashes. Not as good as you think, just the straw that breaks the camel's back."

"Minzhuang Air Crash." Xiao Lingyun's eyelids twitched. This Minzhuang is a suburb of Shanghai, which means that there was an air crash of Korean Air in China a year ago.However, that time was a cargo plane, so the casualties were not so exaggerated.

So far, there have been rumors of mismanagement by the flight crew, but nothing has been confirmed.Xiao Lingyun could tell that when Xu Cang mentioned the Minzhuang air crash, his pronunciation was obviously different.

Could it be that the breakthrough was in the Minzhuang air crash?
However, Xu Cang didn't say anything more.Sometimes, Xiao Lingyun felt that there were countless secrets hidden in Xu Cang's young face, and it was hard to grasp the jump of his thinking.However, Xiao Lingyun knew that Xu Cang didn't want to talk about it, so no matter how much he asked, it would be useless, so he simply didn't ask.

After being silent for a while, Xiao Lingyun suddenly said: "Just now I collected our overseas funds. Even though the share price of Asiana Airlines has fallen to a quarter of its original value, there is still a lot of financial pressure for acquisitions." .”

"That's why I said that Asiana Airlines has not reached the end of the mountain. Don't worry, their stock price will continue to fall. It will fall enough for us to bear."

"I can predict this, but how do you ensure that Korean Air will not acquire Asiana before us, at a higher price?"

"Don't worry, Korean Air will be overwhelmed soon." Xu Cang said calmly.

Xiao Lingyun took a deep look at Xu Cang, and suddenly asked, "Xu Cang, is it the Minzhuang Air Disaster?"
