Chapter 246 I have made contributions to Muhua!I shed blood for Mu Hua! (Please subscribe!)

"Xu Cang wants to buy the complete production line of Boeing 757? How is this possible?" Yi Feng's first thought was that he felt that it was whimsical: "I know that compared with the 737 series, the sales volume of Boeing 757 is not good, but Boeing is determined not to They will package and sell the entire production line."

If Qin Xin talked about the complete production line of Boeing 737, then Yi Feng would not even be interested in talking to her, but if he put this on Boeing 757, although he didn't believe it, it seemed that it was not so unacceptable.

There is no other reason. The sales volume of the Boeing 757 is only one-tenth of that of the Boeing 737. The value of the two models is indeed not the same.

"To be honest, I can't understand Xu Cang's thoughts. However, Xu Cang's plan has always been very long-term, and now it is only the time of layout, and it is far from the harvest time." Qin Xin said calmly: "Once the harvest starts, That is violent and unstoppable."

"Boeing 757, Boeing 757, why did Xu Cang choose the Boeing 757? Is this a successful model? Over the years, the Boeing 757 has been lukewarm. Does it really have a future?"

Even though it was planned by Xu Cang, Ke Yifeng still didn't understand where Xu Cang's layout was based.

The Boeing 757 is not a new model, it has a history of more than 20 years, and its existence itself is between the Boeing 737 and the Boeing 767.

More than 20 years is enough time to verify the commercial prospects of an aircraft. At least the performance of the Boeing 757 did not meet Boeing's expectations.As a result, Yifeng has heard recently that Boeing is going to stop production of the Boeing 757.

It is such a model that Boeing thinks is a failure, but Xu Cang has given him great hope. Is there something wrong with it?After all, in terms of market analysis, Xu Cang can't compare to Boeing alone, can he?
"It seems that Boeing has reduced the production of Boeing 757 by a large amount. In Boeing's mind, this aircraft has already been defined as a failure." Yi Feng said emphatically.

As he said that, Ma Cheng's eyes turned to Xu Cang who had been silent in the corner without any trace.

"Since you made the 757 so good, why did the 757 gradually decline commercially?" In any case, no matter how it is described, the established reality of the 757's decline is the most direct evidence and cannot be avoided.

Because heavy-duty aircraft generally have extremely high take-off and landing weights, many airports explicitly prohibit heavy-duty aircraft from taking off and landing.Moreover, heavy-duty aircraft do more damage to runways and taxiways, and sometimes there are more needs for bridges and ground services, which leads to the airport's charging standards for heavy-duty aircraft generally being much higher than those for narrow-body aircraft.

It was the first time Ma Cheng was pointed and scolded by someone, especially in the corner of the room, where Xu Cang was still watching.

Lu Yongjian was used to being arrogant, seeing Xu Cang's behavior of not taking himself seriously, his anger surged up, and he approached him with a menacing aura.

"No, no, no, Xu Cang will not enter the field of giant aircraft, at least not in the short term. He thinks that aircraft with less than [-] seats are the most marketable, and giant aircraft... will not touch it for the time being."

Yi Feng categorically didn't believe it: "Will this kind of thing really happen?"

Yi Feng fell into silence for a while, Qin Xin spoke very clearly, and from Qin Xin's expression, it could be seen that Qin Xin was basically repeating Xu Cang's words.But from these words, Yi Feng could feel that Xu Cang at least had a clear plan, even considering the upgrade of the fuselage and the new engine provider.

Yi Feng was a little anxious, and stood up directly: "The 737 is an earlier model than the 757, but after so many years, the 737 is still developing vigorously, but the 757 is facing a situation of reduced or even discontinued production. Isn't this a living market test? As a result, why did Xu Cang repeat the same mistakes? In fact, the load factor of 757 needs to be maintained at about 757% in order to be profitable. A smaller 737, that's the market, that's the reality."

Yi Feng's words hit Qin Xin's heart.That's right, even though Qin Xin supported Xu Cang from the bottom of her heart and agreed with many of his advanced ideas, Qin Xin agreed with the fact that the stall was too big.

"Yes!" Qin Xin nodded naturally: "Xu Cang said yes, then yes, and it's not far away."

"If you know the problem, don't you just solve it? Besides the wake strength, the 757's engine is still too old, and its fuel consumption level is relatively high." Qin Xin paused, as if recalling something: "So, it may take Slightly change the layout of the aircraft fuselage and replace the engine. The Boeing 757 does not have the fatal defect of too short landing gear like the 737, and its potential for modification and upgrading is still great.”

Yi Feng Yuepin felt more and more confused: "Could it be that Xu Cang really wants to get involved in air cargo? This stall is too big."

Qin Xin smiled slightly: "So we need to nail another coffin nail on the 757! Let Boeing completely give up all hope for this model. By then, this will no longer be a commodity that we have operated for more than 20 years. Just a piece of junk that's eager to get rid of. How much do you think Boeing will pay at that point?"

With the accumulation of such various costs, it is necessary for the 757 to maintain a high attendance rate in order to be profitable.

Yi Feng said helplessly: "Even if the 757 is not commercially successful, but it's not rubbish, how low can Boeing's price be?"

Yi Feng paced back and forth: "You haven't answered my question yet, why is it 757, did Xu Cang tell you the reason?"

"Then why is it 757?" Yi Feng asked the soul-striking question again.In Yi Feng's mind, there seemed to be some aircrafts that were similar to the 757, but Xu Cang chose the 757.

Once it is classified as a heavy machine, things will be more troublesome.

However, Xu Cang opened his arms and pointed upwards with his right hand. The target was a camera in the office: "You want to hit me?"

Lu Yong, who was already on the verge of eruption, couldn't control Ma Cheng's expression when he saw Ma Cheng's expression, and yelled at Ma Cheng: "I have made meritorious service for Mu Hua, and I have shed blood for Mu Hua. What did you do to me?"

As a result, to the dispatcher's surprise, Lu Yongjian not only refused to accept the decision to replace him, but even went directly to Ma Cheng's office and yelled at him face to face, thus the current scene happened.

After finishing speaking, he glared at Ma Cheng and Xu Cang fiercely, and left the office quickly, but he looked somewhat embarrassed.

Yi Feng looked at Qin Xin talking eloquently, and couldn't help being puzzled: "Don't you know all this, so why not?"

"757-200M? Nepal Airlines custom model? Semi-cargo model?" Yi Feng asked incredulously.

The person who came was Lu Yongjian!
Not long ago, Ma Cheng called the dispatcher and asked the dispatcher to replace the crew of Flight 552 five days later.The co-pilot was easy to talk to, but after the dispatcher called Lu Yongjian to indicate that he wanted to replace him, Lu Yongjian immediately became angry.After being informed by the dispatcher that it was Ma Cheng's intention, he still refused to let him go.

As soon as he saw Lu Yongjian and gave up, Ma Cheng who was not far away showed a faint look of disappointment.

Ma Cheng didn't speak, but just showed a slight smile, but the smile contained an extremely ironic meaning.

"Bombardier's C-series aircraft fuselage provider is AVIC. The weakness of the domestic aircraft manufacturing industry does not mean that all directions are weak."

"The 757 is a less commercially successful plane, so it's presumably going to be a lot lower in terms of selling the production line."

Twenty-two years ago, Nepal Airlines customized a 22 branch model, which is half passenger and half cargo, which is the only one in the world.

Ma Cheng suddenly laughed, as if he had heard something ridiculous: "Last year your son got married and held a banquet for nearly [-] tables. Where did you use the money? Do you think I don't know? I don't know how many red envelopes you received when you got married. Do you know? Are those red envelopes money, or are they begging you to do things in the name of money? Do you think I don’t know? Why do you ask me to treat you like this? If you didn’t think of your past achievements, you should be in prison now gone."

"Is there a safety problem? The co-pilot asked to change the captain?" Lu Yongjian also knew that he had a bad reputation among the co-pilots. It's not impossible to grow up: "I'll go find that brat."

At the same time, in Ma Cheng's office at Muhua Aviation headquarters in Yangcheng.A man of medium build, with a mid-section hairstyle and a gray jacket was pointing at Ma Cheng and yelling at Ma Cheng: "Ma Cheng, why did you cancel my flight plan? I am a flight guard, and my technical level is not enough, or The rest period is not enough? Tell me, why?"

"Do you want a reason? I can give it to you!" Xu Cang said with a light smile, "I think you should go for a psychological evaluation rather than flying, how about it?"

"Oh, you're an outsider. It's best for you to pierce this layer of window paper." Ma Cheng smiled and said, "I didn't use you for nothing. Remember, remember. But, just now I saw you heard Lu Yong When I saw the Korean name, it seemed unnatural, is there something wrong?"

"Maybe he really has the same idea."

Yi Feng sneered and said, "Then why don't you use the 747 to fly domestic routes? Isn't that doing more?"

"The prosperity of the world is all for profit, and the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit. In the final analysis, it is still a word of money."

Although this aircraft is larger than the 737, its basic structure is a single-aisle narrow-body aircraft.However, the wake strength it produced was relatively strong, and it was unfortunately classified as a heavy machine in the end.

"The country will usher in a golden age of civil aviation for at least 15 years. On many routes, we don't have to worry about the load factor. Moreover, Xu Cang prefers the 757-757M branch model in the 200 family."

"The Airbus 330 is a heavy-duty aircraft through and through, and it's too big. The cost of maintenance and wear and tear is too high, and it can't be reduced." Qin Xin thought for a while: "Yi Feng, you know we have some 737-900s here. The plane. Xu Cang’s idea is an upgraded version of the 737-900. Originally, Xu Cang only planned to put his hopes on the 737-900X (ER), but thinking of the future of the 737, he decided to change to a platform.”

"Isn't this just right? If Boeing takes the 757 too seriously, it will make it more difficult for us. It's better for Boeing to sell us the 757 production line like garbage."

As a result, many airports cannot fly, the scope of application is limited, and the airport service fee is high, but it is obviously only a narrow-body aircraft, which is not taken advantage of.

"So, this involves a major disadvantage of the Boeing 757." Qin Xin said seriously: "The Boeing 757 itself is a single-aisle narrow-body aircraft, but because the wake strength is higher than other narrow-body aircraft, it is classified as When it comes to the category of heavy-duty aircraft, this problem will lead to a substantial increase in the scope of application of the 757 and the expenditure on airport services, and the benefits will naturally go down."

Seeing that Lu Yongjian wanted to trouble the co-pilot, Ma Cheng immediately shouted, "It has nothing to do with the co-pilot."

Don't look at Ma Cheng's cold tone, this is actually quite restrained.If someone else dared to talk to him like that, they would have cleaned up a long time ago, so how could they explain it?
There is no way, Lu Yongjian is favored by the people above, Ma Cheng can't go too far.

"You fart!" Lu Yongjian's face changed, but he didn't panic, pointing at Ma Cheng: "You wait for me! I won't waste my words with you, I will talk to your superiors."

However, Qin Xin pointed out: "Our company's low-price strategy can just guarantee the attendance rate, and we have small profits but quick turnover. Isn't it better to transport more people at once?"

"Basic salary and average hourly fee are not enough. Even when you go home, you have to earn money by the way, which is very efficient." Xu Cang smiled and said: "You like going home so much, why don't you go to Korean Air, Korean Air Isn’t there an Incheon base?”

Lu Yongjian turned his head and looked at Ma Cheng: "You mean that too?"

"That's right, I'm just an ordinary passenger. There will be my seat on Flight 552 five days later, and I have to think about my own safety." Xu Cang said bluntly: "As the captain, I don't trust you."

"You..." Lu Yongjian raised and lowered his right hand, it seems that he is on the verge of breaking out and is extremely entangled.

"Aviation Industry really has such a strong strength?" Yi Feng expressed strong doubts.

Lu Yongjian was taken aback for a moment, and immediately noticed the existence of the camera.Under such circumstances, he hesitated for a moment, but suppressed his anger.

But just like this, Yi Feng felt that Xu Cang was thinking too much?
"Is the future he planned too far away? I understand what he means. Based on the fact that the 737 is a narrow-body aircraft with less than 757 seats, he wants to upgrade the 747 for the market between [-] and [-] seats. Are you planning to plan a bigger and more seated plane? Like a [-]." Yi Feng's words were actually somewhat ironic.

"That's it?" Yi Feng was speechless. This is indeed a very simple theory, but how could he come to such an arbitrary conclusion?

But it seems that Xu Cang's plan is far from limited to this.

Xu Cang thought too much, and attacked from all directions.Qin Xin was really worried that one day she would not be able to support such a large stall and the building would collapse.

Yi Feng was stunned for a moment: "What do you mean?"

Lu Yongjian looked Xu Cang up and down: "You are not from our company."

"It's me!" Xu Cang stood up slowly, he also noticed the look in Ma Cheng's eyes just now, and he admired Ma Cheng's way of misleading others.It was just a look, and the contradiction was directly transferred to himself, which was terrible.

"What's the reason? Isn't it just your bad temper? Some time ago, the co-pilot called for a go-around during an unstable approach. Have you gone around?" Ma Cheng said coldly.

Planning domestic aero-engines, planning domestic large aircraft, and even the classified models in it, is this too detailed?It can even be said that the current planning alone is enough to be a lifetime career.

It's like the fact that they are all children, but because they are too well developed and tall, they could have bought half the fare, but in the end they can only buy full fare. This is the case with Boeing 757.

Yifeng has always firmly believed that Boeing's market analysis department and the development history of the 75720 have clarified everything about this model, and it is not worth having any expectations for it, and all the investment is not worth it.

When Lu Yongjian walked away, Xu Cang sat down slowly: "Mr. Ma, it's not good to use me as a spearman like this?"

Lu Yongjian realized it all at once, turned to Xu Cang immediately, and said viciously: "It's you?"

"Can't the Airbus 330 be used directly? At least this is a mature and commercially successful model."

Qin Xin tilted her head slightly, as if recalling something again, and then continued: "Xu Cang means that he will discuss with AVIC how to reduce the wake strength of the 757. At least in terms of aerodynamic layout, AVIC still has some problems. In addition, Xu Cang will cooperate with Luo Luo to demonstrate the replacement of new engines for the 757. Only when these two problems are resolved, Xu Cang will devote all his energy to the 757."

From a common sense, only the captain changes the co-pilot, there is no other way of saying it, but Lu Yongjian knows his situation, maybe Ma Cheng might be persuaded.

Xu Cang's expression froze for a moment, but he quickly returned to normal: "It's nothing, has this Lu Yongjian ever flown with Korean Air before?"

"No, what's wrong?"

"No, forget it." Xu Cang waved his hand: "Forget it, it's fine."

Although he said he was fine, but for some reason, the uneasiness in Xu Cang's heart did not diminish, but continued to expand.
