Return to 2000: Captain of the Great Powers

Blue Sky Aviation Flight Department Office, quarterly meetings.

In the meeting, Luo Yong, the person in charge of the flight system, sat at the head, Wang Xuan, the general manager of the flight department, Luo Jingyun, the Boeing captain, Jin Fuli, the Airbus captain, Wu Yong, the quality center supervisor, and Lin Can, the operation control manager.

"There will be only two major events in the next quarter, one is the A380, and the other is to develop the international market in Southeast Asia, and Cebu is the first." Luo Yong cut to the chase, and immediately pointed out the two major themes of the meeting.

"Let's talk about the A380 first. Team Jin, you have to work hard this time. You need to go to Toulouse to pick up the plane."

According to Jin Fuli's qualifications, he should actually sit on top of Wang Xuan.However, Jin Fuli became more and more lax, and it was lazy to hold a regular meeting of the flight system.Hearing Luo Yong call his name, he just said: "No one in our company can fly the A380, so I will leave the matter to Mu Hua and let them pick up the plane, why bother me, an old bone? I have to go to Toulouse for training in advance, are you tired?"

The A380 does not have a corresponding simulator in China, nor does it have a real machine, so if you want to obtain the qualification of the A380, you need to go directly to the Airbus headquarters in Toulouse.Obviously, Jin Fuli was not interested in this errand at all.

Luo Yong looked at Jin Fuli who had almost written his rejection on his forehead, hesitated to speak, and finally could only persuade in a relatively gentle tone: "Jin team, you have the longest experience in flying Airbus at the company, and the most experienced You are old-fashioned, and you have flown heavy aircraft before. Isn’t it better to modify it? Besides, isn’t it a great event for our company to receive the A380? In the past, you were not allowed to be the first to apply. Our company’s first A330 is not Did you pick it up too, at that time?"

"Today is different from the past, why was it then?" Jin Fuli directly threw the meeting minutes in his hand forward: "The company has no sense of humanity, I think it's boring, you can do whatever you want, just don't toss me, an old bone. "

"Team Jin, isn't it because Muhua Airlines' pick-up fee is high, and it's cheaper to use our own people, and you always consider the company's interests." At this time, Boeing captain Luo Jingyun persuaded him.

However, in Jin Fuli's eyes, Luo Jingyun is just a little boy, and he didn't bother to make his words too harsh, so he just knocked a little: "You are a young man, and you are very motivated when you just got promoted. But, I advise you, less Express your opinion. Talk about a dialogue, no one praises you, and you have to be responsible if you say something wrong. Besides, isn’t the Airbus team responsible for the A380? When will the Boeing team start to take care of the Airbus team’s affairs? gone?"

In the middle of Jin Fuli's speech, he suddenly saw Luo Yong's indifferent expression, he was taken aback for a moment, and then he laughed and said, "Maybe you all understand, but you are just willing to be that pawn who explores the way."

What Jin Fuli said was heartbreaking, and the leaders of the flight department present blushed and turned green after hearing it.

Xu Cang was at the back of the crew, looking at the long line ahead, Xu Cang reckoned that he would have to wait more than ten minutes before it was his turn.

The corners of Zhou Yannian's mouth were grinning behind his ears: "Master, okay, I can write it down. When Xu Cang comes to Shanghai, I'll call him over and meet you?"

"Incheon?" Xu Ruxing looked deeply at Xu Cang, then suddenly smiled and said, "The child next door to me had a baby rash recently, and made a lot of trouble, so I was also made uneasy."

Zhou Yannian couldn't hide his smile: "Master, before you told me that Xu Cang was not enough to cooperate with us, what about now? Let me just say, Master's vision is definitely very poisonous, how could something go wrong?"

It's like in a fantasy novel, although the protagonist's realm is low, but his bones are excellent, and his upper limit is far higher than those who are stronger.

The selling point of the supersonic civil aviation airliner is not very similar to the name of the world's largest civil aviation airliner, it is exactly the same.

"It is said that it is stuck with Jianchuan Airport, and Jianchuan Airport Group will not sign."

Among the crowd, a burly figure was particularly conspicuous. After reading the report, he laughed loudly at the board meeting: "Master, I said that my little brother has a bright future! Now you believe me Bar?"

Luo Yong suddenly became angry: "Why don't they sign it? The bureau has agreed. What right do they have to disagree?"

Wang Xuan beside him gritted his teeth and said two words: "Xu Cang!"

Operation Control Manager Lin Can didn't understand: "Why, what does this mean?"

In terms of airline size, Spring Airlines is undoubtedly not ranked in the domestic.But now such a small airline has the airport priority that many large companies dream of.

"What's wrong?" Seeing Luo Jingyun's expression, Luo Yong felt that something was wrong: "Is there something wrong?"

"Doctor Xu, you have put a lot of effort into the matter of rapamycin, and we are all embarrassed."

I saw the secretary holding a paper document in his hand, and his face was slightly pale: "Mr. Luo, a telegram from the General Administration."

However, this good day did not last long.Once the novelty wore off, the market for the Concorde shrank dramatically, which, combined with many other problems, led to a wave of cancellations from airlines originally interested in the Concorde.

Luo Yong was originally in a state of confusion, but when he saw his secretary's expression was wrong, he felt a little bit in his heart: "What's the content?"

Gu Chen smiled slightly and said: "Yes, the potential of Spring Airlines has been revealed, and it seems to be really unstoppable. Anyway, one more friend is better than one more enemy. Yannian, you said earlier that you will purchase some aviation materials The aviation material company that was handed over to Xu Cang, let’s do it like this. In addition, in the future, Spring and Summer Airlines will help with some things at Shanghai Airport.”

"The bureau agrees, but the airport does not. It seems that this kind of situation can only happen at the three major hub airports." Wang Xuan said somewhat uncertainly.

At this moment, even Jin Fuli, who had been uninterested before, found it interesting, and asked with a smile, "Who is so capable?"

At this time, a director who was working on Gu Chen asked: "Chairman, now that the bureau has made a decision, it is a foregone conclusion. Although Jianchuan Airport is not as good as the three major hubs, it is enough to supply a large Airline companies are coming. In this way, the rise of Spring and Summer Airlines is the general trend.”

In the meeting room on the top floor of Tiandong Airlines, when the board of directors was in session, the leaders present received this report from the General Administration, and many of them were extremely surprised.

Although Jianchuan Airport is not comparable to the three major hubs, having the right of priority means that it has a basic disk that will never be taken away.With such blessings, even if Spring Airlines is not aggressive enough, it will have no problem being a leader in the southwest region.

However, Jin Fuli's words are actually not bad.A few years before the launch of the Concorde, it did enjoy a large wave of novelty bonuses.After all, supersonic civil aviation airliners still have considerable gimmicks.

When Luo Yong heard that Jin Fuli compared the A380 to the Concorde, his expression sank.Concorde is now basically announcing the death penalty. If the A380 is really the same as the Concorde, then the maintenance cost of such a huge A380 will indeed become a huge financial burden for Blue Sky Airlines.

Wang Xuan also recovered from the shock at this moment. He really did not expect that the priority of Jianchuan Airport would be given out. This would be a disaster for Blue Sky Airlines, which operates from Jianchuan Airport. .

Luo Jingyun put the phone back on the table and pursed his lips: "Mr. Luo, something happened with the approval of the Cebu route."

Xu Ruxing was also in line, saw Xu Cang, smiled and waved.

"Yes, children with acute rash!" Xu Ruxing's eyes flashed a different light: "Generally speaking, children have to have a rash once, and there will be high fever during the period, but it will be fine after the rash is over. If the rash is not allowed to go away , it may be more fierce in the future, understand?"

From a personal point of view, 1 people in Rayong do not believe that there will be a fourth airline with priority at the airport, but from a rational point of view, this is undoubtedly the greatest possibility.Because Blue Sky Airlines had applied for an international route departing from Shanghai Airport before, as it is now, the bureau agreed, but Tiandong Airlines did not agree, and the progress was stuck at the Shanghai Airport Group. progress.

Just when Spring and Summer Airlines was disrupting domestic civil aviation, Xu Cang, who was in the center of the vortex, didn't feel much. He was already at Yangcheng Airport, and he would follow the crew through the customs in a while.

"Yeah!" Xu Ruxing nodded, looking a little tired, looked at the team on his side that hadn't moved, and then said: "You don't have to worry too much, I also have contacts in Europe and the United States. If nothing else, at least you guys It will not be targeted when applying for certification. As long as it is not targeted, with the quality of rapamycin, it should be no problem to pass FDA and COS certification."

Luo Jingyun sighed and nodded: "That's right, there is an airline with priority at Jianchuan Airport, and Jianchuan Airport has an owner."

"I have no objection, when did I have an objection?" Jin Fuli spread his hands together, and even laughed a few times: "The A380 is so good, it can take so many people in one plane, it must be able to make a lot of money, right? "

"Huh?" Luo Yong raised his eyebrows: "Then take it, maybe what's the matter?"

It's just that everyone understands this, but it's a bit harsh to say it in front of the stage.

Luo Yong took the message anxiously, almost in the eyes of everyone, and after only a dozen seconds, he threw the message on the table.

However, what Jin Fuli said was really extremely unlucky.Business people are more or less superstitious. The A380 has not been introduced yet. Jin Fuli has set a similar fate to the Concorde. Can Luo Yong have a good face?

Xu Cang was taken aback: "Children's acute rash?"

Luo Yong has not yet refuted, but Jin Fuli continued to scold: "Muhua Airlines is willing to give us the first A380 seat, do you really think they are kind? Is Muhua Airlines kind? Ma Cheng of the strategy department is Who, you haven’t heard of it? The group of us here can’t compare with him. He can make Mu Hua suffer? He also pulled us into the SkyTeam alliance, do you really believe it? After all, Mu Hua Aviation is also uncertain about the future of the A380, let us be pawns to explore the way for them, don’t you understand?”

Luo Jingyun first glanced at Jin Fuli, who was half-closed, and then continued: "In the next six months, we plan to open some Southeast Asian routes, involving Cebu, Manila, Jakarta, Bangkok and Maldives. Among them, the Jianchuan-Cebu route has basically been approved. Come down, follow up"

Due to Jin Fuli's seniority, Luo Yong just said: "Jin team, what you said is unlucky."

"Three hubs, Hanjing Airport belongs to Guoda Airlines, Shanghai Airport belongs to Tiandong Airlines, and Yangcheng Airport belongs to Muhua Airlines. I just signed a document today to open the Jianchuan-Binjiang route, which shows that There is no problem with domestic routes, that is for international routes. International routes. Could it be?” Wang Xuan suddenly thought of a possibility.

The most important thing is that everything Xu Ruxing did was voluntary and he didn't ask for anything in return.

Just when Xu Cang was bored, he suddenly found a familiar figure in the passenger passage.

It is commendable that the chairman of Tiandong Airlines can take the initiative to admit his mistakes at the board meeting.

Looking at his proud disciple, Gu Chen nodded: "I really want to meet this genius who even my master is full of praise for."

Before Luo Jingyun finished speaking, the mobile phone placed on the table rang suddenly.His first reaction was to hang up the phone, but when he saw the number, he whispered to Luo Yong, "Mr. Luo, from the marketing department."

During this period of time, Xu Cang also specifically checked Xu Ruxing's information.As Liu Jinxin said, Xu Ruxing not only enjoys a high reputation in China, but is also a leading medical expert in the world.It is undoubtedly quite rare for such an industry leader to endorse the rapamycin platform.

"People are optimistic about our company, and they are optimistic about the A380. That's right, maybe at the beginning of the introduction, everyone will have a wave of good revenue due to the novelty of this model, but when the novelty fades? Wait for the A380 The initial dividends are over, and once the profit declines, the stock has risen so much that the money is not enough to squeeze the teeth. The example of the Concorde is not clear enough?"

That's right, what Jin Fuli said was indeed very specific.From a long time ago, after the development of Blue Sky Airlines slowed down, the company's management was filled with opportunism.I have been thinking all day long that all my achievements should be done in one battle. Whether it is 777, 747, or the current A380, they are all products of this kind of thinking.

"Well, I seem to know something about it." Xu Cang didn't think much about it. He planned to have a few words with Xu Ruxing, but suddenly found that Xu Ruxing's team moved.

"Why is it unlucky? Isn't this what you want to do? The 777 was introduced earlier, but then the 777 encountered problems and was replaced with a 747, and now it is an A380. What's wrong, don't worry about it, you feel uncomfortable, right? ? How much money was lost in the 747S2 switch, and I don’t know? You still want to continue, don’t you? I want to gamble every day, do you have the ability?”

As soon as this question came out, all eyes in the field focused on Luo Jingyun.However, Luo Jingyun said helplessly: "Jianchuan Airport Group has no feedback, because the bureau has not officially issued a statement, but they have already notified verbally, so they can't."

Xu Cang also smiled and said: "I said, I think you are right. While rapamycin still has a leading position, it should enter the European and American markets."

Except Blue Sky Airlines, all domestic airlines received the same message, which undoubtedly announced the birth of the fourth domestic airline with airport priority.In fact, before this message was sent out, many airlines did not know about the existence of Spring Airlines, and what they knew was mostly because Spring Airlines’ low-cost operating methods were too different.

"I went to your master two days ago, and he specifically mentioned it. Well, I was wrong. Yannian, you and Xu Cang have a good relationship, which is very good."

After getting Luo Yong's permission, Luo Jingyun immediately connected the phone, but the captain of Boeing, who was still smiling slightly before, changed drastically in less than ten seconds after answering the phone.

It turned out that the elegant middle-aged man here is the helm of Tiandong Airlines, Zhou Yannian's master, and Bi Lin's apprentice, Gu Chen.

"Go to Switzerland to attend a medical seminar. I think your rapamycin will be mentioned at the meeting." Xu Ruxing said with a smile: "Some time ago, I mentioned to Liu Jinxin about the export of rapamycin. you said so?"

"South Korea, Incheon!" Xu Cang said, seeing that Xu Ruxing seemed to be in a bad state of mind, he couldn't help but become concerned: "Doctor Xu, you look a little tired."

The secretary hurried to Luo Yong's side and handed over the message: "About Jianchuan Airport."

At this moment, Wang Xuan, the general manager of the flight department, couldn't sit still, and said: "Jin team, as soon as the news of the introduction of our company's A380 was released, the stock price rose a lot. There's some prejudice."

When most people in Blue Sky Airlines put their hopes on the A380, the company is not monolithic, and there are still people who hold different opinions, including Jin Fuli.

"Oh well!"

To Xu Cang's satisfaction, Lu Yongjian was replaced in the end.The replaced captain seemed to know Xu Cang and was very polite to Xu Cang.Since there are still many international routes at Yangcheng Airport, when Xu Cang and his party arrived at the customs entrance, other airlines were crowded in front of them, so that Xu Cang and the others had to wait in line.

However, even though Gu Chen is Zhou Yannian's master, he is well maintained and looks about the same age as Zhou Yannian, which is amazing.

Jin Fuli, with his hands folded, glanced at the message on the table, and suddenly raised his eyebrows: "Chun Xia Airlines, isn't that what it is?"

If there is an airline that has priority over Jianchuan Airport, just like the three major airlines over the three major hubs, all airlines that want to open international routes at Jianchuan Airport must obtain the consent of that airline. Otherwise, the approval progress will be stuck on the airport group side, just short of the last step.

It's so similar, the process of the two is too similar!
"Is there really a fourth airline with priority?" Rayong's heart was beating wildly. He hadn't received such shocking news for a long time.

When Luo Jingyun heard Jin Fuli's words, his face was uncertain, but he didn't dare to fight back.It was Luo Yong who smoothed things over: "Jin team, I know you have some complaints about our company's introduction of the A380, but there's no need to complain here, right?"

"Doctor Xu?" Xu Cang greeted the opposite team.

This time, not only Luo Yong, but also Wang Xuan and other leaders, big and small, were all very surprised. Even Jin Fuli raised his eyebrows slightly.He knew that the approval of the Cebu route had been basically completed, so why did something go wrong at this pass?
Luo Yong straightened his upper body all of a sudden: "What did the marketing department say? But yesterday morning, they reported to me the approval process and said that there was no problem. Why is something wrong now? Where is it stuck?"

Xu Cang patted the security officer in front of him, asked him to keep his luggage, and hurried to Xu Ruxing's side.

Although Luo Jingyun said that his face was very ugly, it did not hinder the puzzlement and bewilderment in his eyes. It seemed that he did not quite understand the marketing department's explanation of the Cebu route approval issue.

At the top, a middle-aged man with elegant temperament and a loose gown lowered his eyebrows slightly: "Yannian, pay attention to the occasion."

"Doctor Xu, are you going abroad too?"

Before Luo Jingyun finished speaking, the door of the conference room was pushed open roughly, revealing the figure of Secretary Luo Yong.

Bang!
As soon as this remark came out, Luo Yong suddenly stood up: "Impossible! Only the three major airlines have the right of airport priority, and this priority was fixed at the beginning. The bureau will never give the three major airlines another airport priority. Impossible , how can there be a fourth airline with priority at the airport?"

In less than a minute, Luo Jingyun hung up the phone, leaving only daze and gloom on his face.

"It's okay, rapamycin is indeed a good drug, and it's my responsibility to promote this good drug." Xu Ruxing looked at Xu Cang, and at the crew team where Xu Cang was just now: "Where are you going? "

"Jin team, if we don't agree, we don't even have the qualification to explore the road." Luo Yong sighed: "Forget it, Jin team is old after all, let's discuss who will pick up the plane. We are talking about Cebu .Jing Yun, basically 737 will be in charge of the routes in Southeast Asia, so it’s up to you to speak.”

To be honest, whether it is Muhua Airlines or Blue Sky Airlines' own marketing department, they are actually not sure about the prospects of the super large passenger aircraft market.However, in view of the booming development of the world civil aviation market, especially the domestic market, relatively speaking, it is still inclined to be optimistic.

"Ok?"

In the future, whenever Blue Sky Airlines wants to develop international routes, it will all depend on the face of that airline.

Xu Ruxing patted Xu Cang on the shoulder: "Remember my words, let's go!"

After speaking, he pulled up his suitcase and walked forward with the team, leaving only Xu Cang with a puzzled face.

"Remember what I said? That sentence?" Xu Cang scratched his head, looked at Xu Ruxing who had already entered the customs, and silently returned to the team at the crew passage.

After taking the handle of the suitcase handed over by the security officer, Xu Cang was still thinking about the conversation with Xu Ruxing just now, but there seemed to be nothing particularly worthy of attention.After thinking for a while, he still couldn't figure it out, so Xu Cang simply gave up.

Anyway, Incheon Air Disaster, here I come!
