Return to 2000: Captain of the Great Powers

In the small square at the entrance of Spring and Summer Airlines Erhai Base, Liu Minxue squinted his eyes and looked at Xu Cang and Zhu Ming who were standing together in the distance.

Just now, Xu Cang suddenly mentioned the acquisition of the Phoenix Aviation School out of unknown mentality.If it was someone from another airline, Zhu Ming's temper would definitely be too lazy to deal with it, but when facing Xu Cang, Zhu Ming still showed great patience.

At the corner of the square, Zhu Ming showed distress: "Little brother, is what you just said true?"

"Then you don't feel like I'm making fun of you?" Xu Cang asked back, "How, is it feasible?"

"Is there anything feasible or not? Isn't it just a matter of money?"

Xu Cang understood Zhu Ming's words, and directly changed the phrase: "Do you know the price in the mind of the boss of Phoenix Aviation School?"

"Junior brother, do you really want to listen?" Zhu Ming hurriedly advised, "Let me tell you, forget about it."

Xu Cang clicked his tongue: "Why, the number is very large. Let me tell you, I also want to know the current price of aviation schools in China."

Zhu Ming sighed, he could see that Xu Cang had made up his mind, so he raised two fingers: "Two hundred million!"

"How much?" Half of Xu Cang's face was crowded together, and he thought he had heard it wrong: "The price of 2000 million? How has inflation reached this point now? How can I remember when your boss bought Phoenix Aviation School? It took less than [-] million, and it's only been a few years, ten times!?"

That's right, the current boss of Phoenix Aviation School is not the founder, but the second boss.

"Do you still know the purchase price back then?" Zhu Ming was slightly surprised by this.Of course, this purchase price is not a top secret, but very few people know about it. How did Xu Cang know?
Of course Xu Cang couldn't say that this was due to the information advantage of the reborn.

According to the development of the previous life, the Phoenix Aviation School will be merged by the Flight Academy in about 12 years.During the merger period, the Flight Academy needed to review various documents of Phoenix Aviation School. The previous acquisition documents were naturally also within the scope of review, and the person in charge of the review was Xu Cang.

Because the Flying Academy is directly under the General Administration in terms of establishment, any major academy affairs must be supervised by the General Administration.

"Uh, I guessed wildly." Xu Cang said with a dry smile, "It's not important, what's important is why the price has directly increased by ten times."

Zhu Ming was not wary of Xu Cang, so he believed whatever Xu Cang said, and he was really fooled by Xu Cang.

"Ten times, you said less." In the end, Zhu Ming said something amazing: "[-] million is just the transfer price of the aviation school license."

"I" Xu Cang almost scolded others, co-authoring is because his imagination is not rich enough.

The transfer of the aviation school includes the qualification transfer of the aviation school license and the transfer of the fixed assets of the aviation school.

The aviation school license is like a company's business license, except that this license is not issued by the Industrial and Commercial Bureau, but by the Civil Aviation Administration.Aviation schools are special training institutions, and the licenses issued by the Civil Aviation Administration are the most precious.However, the aviation school itself has other fixed assets, such as land, buildings and aircraft.

At first, Xu Cang thought that [-] million was the price of the aviation school license plus fixed assets.In the end, Xu Cang is still young, and [-] million is only enough to buy an aviation school license, which is really outrageous.

Phoenix Aviation School has a long history, so the buildings and facilities in the school are quite old and not worth a lot of money.The location of Phoenix Aviation School is very remote, and their training airport, Qiongzhou Airport, is 10 minutes away by car, and the land is not expensive.Its fleet is also full of old models, and the only expensive one is the KINGAIR high-performance aircraft.

Therefore, when Xu Cang heard Zhu Ming mention [-] million, he thought the price was too high even after taking into account the fixed assets of the aviation school.

However, things are unpredictable and everything has changed.

"Then if we buy them all?" Xu Cang's mouth twitched, "How much will it cost?"

Zhu Ming smiled: "There is no more than 3 million yuan, I think it is better not to think about it. Moreover, more than 3 million yuan is a relatively low price. I think the price will go up, after all, there are other buyers."

Xu Cang was taken aback: "Any other buyers?"

"Otherwise, why do you think the price can rise so high? You think the price is outrageous, but it's not that outrageous." Zhu Ming said: "In the past few years, even the official channel of the flight academy could not recruit people. The road is even more miserable. In the past few years, our boss has been thinking about who to take over, but after a few years of hard work, no one is willing to take over. Just when he thought that the aviation school was going to rot in his hands, The domestic civil aviation control has been relaxed, and it has been transshipped all of a sudden. Did you know that the number of trainee orders tomorrow is expected to be three times that of this year, and this is the first year of deregulation, and the demand for the latter will only increase. Flight All the orders that the academy can’t take on will be distributed to us, and the future will be when you can make money lying down, and the aviation school license is so difficult to get, now the Phoenix Aviation School is not a money-losing product, it is a proper high-quality asset.”

Xu Cang heard that it was a head as big as a bucket, so policy is the biggest bonus.The aftermath of just one policy can turn an aviation school that was on the verge of bankruptcy overturned, and the carp leaped directly to the dragon's gate.

"You are an airline company, so you should know how profitable it is to train students. You are not the only one who is optimistic about the future of aviation schools, and many people also hold the same opinion as you. The policy is in place and the environment dictates it. Pigs can handle such an outlet. Wake up, not to mention, now you can actually make money as an aviation school, can the price not be high?"

Xu Cang said speechlessly: "However, I didn't expect it to be so high. More than 3 million, is it the bottom line?"

"Let me tell you this, if you really make up your mind, then bite your teeth and buy it now. It is absolutely not an exaggeration to say that the impact of the domestic civil aviation control liberalization policy will continue for ten years. At least for ten years, people's evaluation of the investment in aviation schools It is extremely high. It is more than 3 million now, and it may be more than 4 million tomorrow. And now is the bonus period. If you are one year late, not only will you have to spend more money, but the bonus will also take a year less, which is not worth it. "

In terms of standpoint, Zhu Ming regarded Xu Cang as his own, and he even did the analysis for Xu Cang.

Indeed, the liberalization of domestic civil aviation controls is still in its early stages, and its impact may not be so obvious.More capital parties still have hindsight. After all, civil aviation is a relatively niche and professional field, and there is a lag in the interpretation of policies and the assessment of subsequent impacts.

However, with the passage of time, everything will become clear after domestic civil aviation enters into a high-speed development.Once the capital really pours in, Xu Cang will not be able to compare with those big capitals, and the acquisition cost will be greatly increased, and the gains outweigh the losses.

"More than 3 million." Xu Cang was really convinced: "How can I spend so much money in a short time now?"

A large amount of Xu Cang's funds will be used for Asiana Airlines, and part of it will be used for Jinghong Airport. The rest, let alone 3000 million, [-] million is a lot of work.

"Then I advise you to just give up this idea." Zhu Ming said sincerely, "Once the hot money comes in later, you won't be able to compare with them."

Xu Cang pondered for a moment: "The fundamental reason why the price of aviation schools is so high now is that the people in the industry are highly optimistic about the future situation of civil aviation. If something happens and this confidence is hit, will everything go back to the past for a short time? ?”

Obviously, this sentence was completely beyond Zhu Ming's comprehension.

"Isn't everything going well now, what can happen?"

Xu Cang waved his hand: "No, I'm just talking. Senior brother, I will remember what you said. Whether you want to buy Phoenix Aviation Academy or not, we will see you this year."

Ginza, Tokyo, Japan, is a bustling business circle that is at the forefront even in the world. After sunset, the flow of people does not decrease, but the real nightlife begins.Like the Champs-Elysées in Paris, there are a large number of high-end department stores, traditional old stores and luxury shopping places.

In the busy traffic, everything around is full of feasting, showing the vigorous vitality of the "Heart of Tokyo".

In one of the watch shops, Yukio Nakamura was trying on a gold watch, an incongruity for a public official with his income.However, looking at the appearance of Yukio Nakamura, this is not simply a try, but a serious consideration of whether to buy.

Beside him, a slender and tall clerk was explaining the advantages of gold watches to Yukio Nakamura.However, before saying a few words, with the sound of leather shoes hitting the floor, JAL President Hideki Nagano came slowly.

Hideki Nagano waved his hand, signaling the clerk to leave.The clerk obviously knew Nagano Hideki, bowed slightly, and walked away obediently.

"I didn't expect Mr. Nakamura to have a special preference for watches." Hideki Nagano didn't look at the large number of famous watches displayed in the glass cabinet, but leaned against the edge of the cabinet, smiling casually, but the words It seems that there is something else.

Yukio Nakamura seemed to have known that Hideki Nagano was coming, and without turning his head, he just looked at the gold watch on his wrist: "Pilots, generally they like two things, one is a watch and the other is sunglasses."

"But why don't I like any of them?"

Hideki Nagano has flown for a very short period of time, so his professional knowledge is at the forefront among the executives of various airlines.

"So you stepped back to manage the company." Yukio Nakamura seemed to like the gold watch he had chosen very much. He took a long time in front of the mirror while speaking, and looked at it from different angles.

Hideki Nagano was not impatient, and just waited beside him without saying a word.

"Not bad." Yukio Nakamura felt more satisfied the more he looked at it.

"That's right, let's keep it." Nagano Hideki just said lightly.

Yukio Nakamura lowered his arms naturally, he didn't seem to take off the gold watch at all, and he didn't intend to pay the bill, he just looked at Hideki Nagano with a smile: "President Nagano is still as generous as ever."

Hideki Nagano did not express any compliment to Yukio Nakamura, but asked indifferently: "Mr. Nakamura, have you figured out what happened to ANA Flight 45?"

"Almost." Yukio Nakamura yawned: "Recently, I have stayed up several nights over this matter, and it's only now that I feel a little more relaxed. President Nagano is interested?"

"Let's talk in the car."

Hideki Nagano left the watch shop first, followed by Yukio Nakamura. The clerk knew that the gold watch was on Yukio Nakamura's wrist, but did not stop him.

Hideki Nagano's luxury car was parked not far outside the store, and the two sat in the back row.The driver was very knowledgeable. When he saw Hideki Nagano and Yukio Nakamura sitting in together, he immediately asked, "President, can I go out and watch?"

Hideki Nagano hummed, and the driver immediately left consciously, standing three or four steps away from the car.

"President Nagano, are all your people so clever?"

Hideki Nagano said indifferently: "If you remove the unintelligent ones, only the clever ones will be left. Isn't it very simple?"

"That's what you say, but our official organization can't change people at will. Often the people below are full of stupid guys, so there's nothing we can do about it."

"Mr. Nakamura, have you forgotten what you just said?"

Yukio Nakamura smiled embarrassingly: "It's just a feeling. The matter of ANA Flight 45 is complicated, but it's not complicated."

Speaking, Nakamura Yukio began to tell Nagano Hideki what JCAB has investigated so far.Although these things will be disclosed to the public later, they are still kept secret at this point in time, but in front of Hideki Nagano, Yukio Nakamura has no reservations.

Judging from the way the two get along, it seems that this kind of "cooperation" is not the first time, and they are obviously familiar with each other.

As Yukio Nakamura said, although the hijacking of ANA Flight 45 had ups and downs, it is not complicated from a third-party perspective.As Xu Cang, the subject of the incident, hardly concealed anything, what he said was in good agreement with what JCAB had grasped, which greatly reduced the difficulty of the investigation by the Civil Aviation Administration of Japan.

In the past few days, JCAB has basically sorted out the cause and effect.

About 10 minutes later, Yukio Nakamura finally finished talking about the hijacking of ANA Flight 45.For more than 40 minutes, Yukio Nakamura was basically talking alone, which made his mouth very dry.

"According to what you mean, Xu Cang not only dealt with most of the incidents, but even decided to sacrifice himself to gain time for the passengers to evacuate?"

Yukio Nakamura hummed: "We have checked, and there is indeed a problem with the DC drive of the outflow valve. This is consistent with the content of Xu Cang's feedback, and there is a dictation from the captain on duty, which is extremely reliable."

"Extremely credible." The Civil Aviation Administration of Japan has not yet released the final incident report, so even the most certain things cannot be described in a definite sentence. It is equivalent to a certainty.

But thinking of this situation, Nagano Hideki felt an evil fire rising in his chest, and kicked the back of the seat in front again.Such a sudden change startled Yukio Nakamura, he really did not expect Hideki Nagano to have such a reaction.

"President Nagano, what is this?"

The blue veins on Nagano Hideki's neck were all bulging, and he said bitterly: "What a suitable candidate, it fits my vision perfectly. Ahhh, but why did he just reject me?"

In Hideki Nagano's view, Xu Cang's request to buy [-]% of Class A shares is no different from a direct refusal.Because, JAL's board of directors does not have the slightest possibility of agreeing.

Hideki Nagano has seen Xu Cang's amazing art of manipulation, and Xu Cang's last act of sacrificing himself to save others is simply the best promotional material.Under such conditions, Nagano Hideki felt that Xu Cang could be made into a perfect character logo. Isn't this more recognizable than those stars and more representative of the image of JAL?
Hideki Nagano believes that Xu Cang is the most suitable candidate for the JAL spokesperson he envisioned.But Xu Cang didn't seem to be interested in this at all, which made Hideki Nagano feel more and more angry when he thought about it.

"The candidate, who is the candidate?" Yukio Nakamura asked strangely.

Hideki Nagano slapped himself on the forehead: "Recently, in the domestic market, ANA has been chasing hard, and we want to change the spokesperson. Don't you think Xu Cang is very suitable? Professional, excellent image, and has the spirit of sacrifice. It is an image of all the beautiful qualities of human beings.”

"That's it." Yukio Nakamura could probably understand Hideki Nagano's meaning: "However, President Nagano, you should probably feel lucky."

Hideki Nagano raised his eyebrows: "Oh, what do you mean?"

"Xu Cang will not become a hero, and we will not allow him to become a hero. So, President Nagano, your imagination should be nothing more than imagination."

Hideki Nagano was stunned for a moment, and the expression on his face froze for two or three seconds.However, with Hideki Nagano's knowledge, he understood Yukio Nakamura's words in just an instant.However, even Hideki Nagano, who is used to seeing conspiracies and tricks, was shocked by Yukio Nakamura or the entire JCAB chair, and he confirmed it again: "But isn't Xu Cang's performance on ANA Flight 45 perfect? "

"Perfect? ​​Humans don't believe in perfection, they are only keen to find the wounds of heroes."

Hideki Nagano thought for a while, but still couldn't find a suitable reason: "But Xu Cang didn't have that kind of wound, and his performance was flawless. Flying at low altitude and passing through the bridge hole of the Tokyo Bay Bridge, this kind of operation, There are a few in the world who can do that.”

"Did I say it's a technical problem?" Yukio Nakamura said with a smile, "It doesn't matter that he has any technical problems, it's just that he is high-spirited. The biggest judgment for a person is never the law, but morality."

Nagano Hideki frowned: "It shouldn't be, Xu Cang sacrificed himself in the end to make the evacuation of others possible. Is there any moral point to criticize?"

"What if the saint who sacrificed himself was actually a cold-blooded butcher?"

Hideki Nagano looked deeply at Yukio Nakamura with a smile in his eyes: "Although I don't know what you guys want to do, just hearing about it now makes me feel sick."

"Then I feel sorry for this." Nakamura Yukio said so, but no matter from his expression or demeanor, he did not show any reflection: "Soon, there will be a recording released, the hero on Tokyo Bay In the end, he will only become the executioner that everyone despises. At that time, President Nagano will be extremely grateful for the strong cooperative relationship between you and me."

Hideki Nagano didn't speak, he didn't know what he was thinking, but judging from his expression, it seemed that Yukio Nakamura was the only one who felt joy in this incident, at least the happiness that Yukio Nagano said was not in Hideo Nagano's mind. Seen on the tree face.

"Let's not mention Xu Cang's matter for the time being. I have another important matter when I come to see you this time." Hideki Nagano's tone gradually turned serious, and there was even a hint of ferocity in that expression: "I received The news that the next batch of newly added European official routes has given priority to ANA? I want to know, is this true, or is the messaging wrong.”

"This." Yukio Nakamura, who had a slight smile on his face a moment ago, froze his expression instantly. He could feel Hideki Nagano's concern on this matter, and the priority of the next batch of new European official routes The loss of the right to choose has touched the bottom line of JAL, at least Hideki Nagano feels more angry than what happened to Xu Cang.

Hideki Nagano raised his chin: "Mr. Nakamura, there is no free lunch in the world. I believe you understand this truth."

Thinking of the various bribes he received from Hideki Nagano in recent years, Yukio Nakamura had no choice but to reveal some news to Hideki Nagano: "This matter is serious."

"Damn it!" Nagano Hideki shouted suddenly: "Shouldn't we choose the European route first? What are you guys doing?"

Facing the furious Nagano Hideki, Nakamura Yukio sighed: "President Nagano, this is not the past. There is no policy or regulation stipulating that JAL still enjoys a monopoly on international routes. Since the restructuring more than ten years ago, We just draw on our previous habits and continue to lean towards you, but it does not mean that this is mandatory. Regarding this point, I believe President Nagano should have a clear understanding."

"I'm not here to listen to your policies and regulations. Any change in habits will have its source." Nagano Hideki narrowed his eyes: "Is this your reward for ANA's forced landing in Tokyo Bay?"

Reasonably speaking, in terms of results, the forced landing of ANA Flight 45 in Tokyo Bay is undoubtedly a great success. Therefore, it is understandable that JCAB rewards ANA.If this is the reason, Hideki Nagano is a little more acceptable.

After all, this is an extremely rare case.He 1 did not believe that there would be an emergency landing in Tokyo Bay behind ANA.

If it is just an example, this belongs to Nagano Hideki's tolerance.

It's not that Hideki Nagano is too sensitive, but he understands the only strength of JAL now.Now that Japan Airlines has declined unstoppably, at least he feels that with his own ability, it is thankful that he can delay the occurrence of this situation.

However, the reason why JAL can give at least a superficial strength is because of JAL's dominant position on international routes.How many years has it been?All Nippon Airways has already surpassed Japan Airlines.If the international route is still unbearable, then JAL will take its last breath, and then it will collapse like a landslide.

International routes are the bottom line of JAL, and there is no room for loss.

However, Hideki Nagano soon discovered the problem: "No, the forced landing in Tokyo Bay was done by Xu Cang, and it has nothing to do with ANA."

A trace of embarrassment flashed across Nakamura Yukio's face: "President Nagano, this matter has already been settled, so you don't have to worry about it. Moreover, I don't think this situation will happen in the future."

Yukio Nakamura did not dare to tell Hideki Nagano exactly what the director of Long Island said.In the eyes of the director of JCAB, JAL is already in decline, but ANA is thriving.At least in Nagashima's heart, the weight between JAL and ANA seems to have begun to turn around.

That's right, this time Director Nagashima chose to cooperate with ANA because of the need to keep the security breach of Haneda Airport confidential.It seems to be forced, but in fact it is also a sign that Nagashima is pushing the boat forward and gradually starting to ease the relationship with ANA.

After all, because JCAB was too partial to Japan Airlines, the relationship with ANA has not been very good.

The security breach at Haneda Airport is a complete exception, but the decline of JAL and the rise of ANA are solid facts.With the example of the change of ownership of the right of first choice for European routes as the beginning, more and more cooperation between the two engines is definitely possible.What Yukio Nakamura said "should not happen" is completely lying with his eyes open.

However, in order to appease Nagano Hideki, Nakamura Yukio could only do so.

Hideki Nagano's eyes were like a falcon, and the two looked at each other, making Yukio Nakamura feel guilty, and unconsciously avoided Hideki Nagano's gaze.

That small gesture alone says a lot.

Hideki Nagano let out a long breath: "Can I trust you?"

Yukio Nakamura immediately put on an ugly smile: "Of course, after all, JAL is still the mainstay of domestic civil aviation."

"However, it seems that some people don't feel that way anymore." Hideki Nagano didn't continue to speak, but he looked a little sad, but his emotional control ability was very good, and the feeling of loneliness only appeared for a moment, and then he was dismissed. Perfectly hidden.

"Let's go, today is not going well."

Yukio Nakamura was startled, but immediately understood, and left the car by himself.

Within 2 minutes, Yukio Nakamura stood by the side of the road, looking at the luxury car going away, with a mocking arc on the corner of his mouth: "Angry but powerless? Tsk tsk tsk."

In the car, Nagano Hideki fell into a long silence. The driver saw the sculpture-like Nagano Hideki through the rearview mirror and swallowed. The deadly atmosphere was really uncomfortable.

Suddenly, Nagano Hideki, who hadn't moved for a long time, moved a little. He raised his eyelids, and suddenly found that the driver was looking at him.

In the past, he might at least have to sneer, but now he can't even get angry, and finally he just ordered a lightly: "Help me contact Xu Cang."

In the early morning of the next day, Xu Cang yawned, put on casual clothes, and went to the cafeteria leisurely without tidying up his hair.

Of course, for Xu Cang who always likes to stay in bed, breakfast usually does not exist. In his life, there is only the concept of brunch.

However, it was only ten o'clock when Xu Cang came over, and the canteen master hadn't prepared lunch yet.Fortunately, Xu Cang is not that particular person, so he asked the master to order a bowl of noodles, and then went to the corner to get a copy of today's newspaper, so that he can have fun while eating noodles.

In this era, means of entertainment are still relatively scarce, that is, to read newspapers.

The chefs in the canteen here were specially hired by Xu Cang from several hotels in Jianchuan City, and one of them can cook Weiyang dishes, which can be regarded as a little selfishness of Xu Cang.

Chef Weiyang's cooking skills are very good. He served Xu Cang a bowl of noodles in clear soup, which was refreshing and very suitable for Xu Cang's taste.

However, the ingredients on Erhai Lake are not rich, at least for Weiyang cuisine.Therefore, Xu Cang can't satisfy his appetite too much, and it's not bad to eat his hometown food once in a while.

There was a bit of a sigh here, and suddenly, Xu Cang's eyes fell on an area on the lower left of the newspaper's front page, which introduced that Muhua Airlines terminated its cooperation with Asiana Airlines on international routes and switched to a new one with Daehan Airlines. The airline signed a new contract thing.

"On the news?" Xu Cang stopped eating noodles.This newspaper is not a tabloid, and its popularity in the country is still very high.Xu Cang asked Ma Cheng to make this matter bigger, but he didn't expect it to be published in a newspaper of this level.

Needless to say, Ma Cheng must have worked hard on Korean newspapers.Moreover, Korean Air itself has a relatively deep cooperation with the Korean newspaper industry, so this kind of self-interested news should not be hyped up?
Xu Cang thought for a while, put down his chopsticks, and decided to call Ma Cheng.In any case, Ma Cheng did contribute to this matter, and it was not small.

He took out his mobile phone, found Ma Cheng's number, and Xu Cang called.The phone was connected soon, and Ma Cheng's lazy voice came from the opposite side: "Xu Cang, you've been looking for me quite frequently recently."

There was some teasing in this tone, and Xu Cang laughed: "I just read the newspaper, and what I told you was in the newspaper."

"See?" Ma Cheng said with a chuckle: "It took some effort, but you are still satisfied? I informed Korean Air in Korea, and they will be responsible for the news promotion in Korea. This matter is very important to them. Saying it is good, and it can hit Asiana Airlines, they will definitely do their best, so I won't get involved."

"It's okay, leave it to Korean Air, they probably worked harder than you." Xu Cang said with a smile: "I will remember this matter."

"With your words, I can rest assured. Of course, even if you don't remember, I will find a chance to remind you." With Ma Cheng's personality, it is normal to say these words, but Ma Cheng Cheng's tone doesn't seem to care too much. After all, Muhua Aviation is actually making a profit in this matter. It is not helping Xu Cang in a single sense, but more like pushing the boat along the way.

"It's okay, there will be opportunities for cooperation in the future." Xu Cang said.

Suddenly, after mentioning Korean Air, Xu Cang remembered something: "Mr. Ma, what did that Park Dek-gyu of your company say later?"

Park Deok-gyu is a leader of the Muhua Aviation Safety Supervision Department and is of Korean descent.Because Xu Cang forced him to replace him to avoid the Busan air crash, he should have been the captain of that flight.It was that time that Park Deok-gyu went to Ma Cheng's office to make a fuss.It's just that Ma Cheng replaced him later, and Xu Cang didn't care about this person after that.

As a result, when talking about Korean Air today, certain memories in Xu Cang's mind were activated.

"He, let's go." Ma Cheng said casually.

"Gone?" Xu Cang was taken aback, "How did you die?"

"No, no, either that left, or left the job and changed jobs."

Xu Cang was a little embarrassed: "Oh, sorry, I misunderstood. Where did you go, do you know?"

"Go back, back to Korea." Ma Cheng said: "I heard that he seems to have gone to Korean Air."

"What did you say, he went to Korean Air?"

Ma Cheng hummed: "What's wrong?"

Xu Cang didn't answer, some memories in his mind were not only activated, but completely clear.

"Park Deok-gyu." Xu Cang said to himself in an inaudible voice, "Korean Airlines flight 8509 crashed!"
