Return to 2000: Captain of the Great Powers

"Mr. Chen, do you think it is necessary to hoard aero-engines in advance?" Xu Cang put forward his own idea: "In AVIC, the airframe design and manufacturing should already be ahead of the engines in an all-round way? In the future, the real The key problem will only be with the engine."

"Not necessarily." Chen Jinwu seemed worried about the prospect of large domestic aircraft: "The current situation is that we almost have the ability to build a house, but it is just a rough house. How should it be decorated inside? How to lay it, we still need to explore."

Xu Cang responded quickly: "Is it a problem with the avionics?"

"For the time being, yes, I have been cooperating with Honeywell before, but now I want to do it myself, and the difficulty will come up. We are still studying whether to develop the avionics system by ourselves, or whether we have been working with Honeywell since then. Cooperation. In any case, the previous cooperation with Honeywell was quite pleasant, maybe we can save the energy of self-developed avionics system and invest more manpower and material resources in the power department.”

It is absolutely impossible for the so-called domestically produced large aircraft to be all domestically produced. In this globalized business era, doing so is reducing one's own commercial competitiveness.

From the aerodynamic layout design of the aircraft fuselage, to the power system of the aero-engine, to the avionics system, and the design and production of some aviation materials, such as landing gear, detectors and the like.A large airliner involves many, many aspects. If you do everything by yourself, it will not only be very difficult, but also very costly.

Even now, Boeing and Airbus, the large passenger aircraft manufacturers, do not produce all parts, but purchase them globally and then assemble them.

Xu Cang's idea is that as long as he masters some core key system technologies, the rest can be purchased.Obviously, Chen Jinwu also had this idea.AVIC's scientific research strength is very scarce, and funds are not particularly abundant.If you invest more here, you need to invest less there.

Compared with the reality of the aero-engine monopoly market, the situation of avionics systems is slightly better, and several avionics system manufacturers, including Honeywell, have a very friendly attitude towards the domestic market. If there are no major changes, they should This kind of friendliness will last for a long time.

Therefore, Chen Jinwu wanted to concentrate his efforts on major tasks, and first conquered the most difficult aero-engine.

Xu Cang also agreed with this.In the field of avionics, the domestic technical level is indeed relatively backward.However, compared with aero engines, the level of domestic self-developed avionics will advance by leaps and bounds in the future, which is an inevitability of the times.Therefore, on the avionics system, Chen Jinwu chose to let go of all urgency, and Xu Cang agreed.

Moreover, for a long time in the future, even in a period of turbulent international situation, Honeywell's attitude does not seem to have any major changes.Chen Jinwu's prediction was still correct.

However, in any case, the avionics system is also a relatively critical system, and it still needs to be overcome in the future.

"In addition to Honeywell, Bombardier's research and development capabilities are also good in avionics systems." In fact, Bombardier sometimes purchases Honeywell's systems, but it does not mean that it does not have corresponding technical reserves.

Honeywell is a company with a big business, and its development is very stable. It is difficult to start, but Bombardier can take advantage of it.

"Bombardier?" Chen Jinwu was taken aback: "We have cooperated with them on C-series aircraft before. There are not many companies in the world with self-developed large aircraft, except Airbus and Boeing, followed by Embraer and Bombardier. Xu Cang, why did you suddenly mention Bombardier?"

Xu Cang smiled and said, "I'm just talking casually, I don't want to do anything. However, the order of one hundred PW6000s may also have something to do with Bombardier."

"Huh? What do you mean?" Chen Jinwu didn't quite understand.

"It's nothing." Xu Cang casually said, "Old Chen, the order for one hundred PW6000s."

One good thing about Chen Jinwu was that he would not force Xu Cang to answer questions or hold on to a sentence.Sure enough, when Xu Cang changed the topic for a while, Chen Jinwu didn't care about Bombardier's affairs: "The order for 6000 PW70 engines is estimated to cost [-]-[-] million. This order is a bit stressful."

In 2000, sixty-seven billion was not a small number.Of course, even in a post-inflationary future, this is still an astronomical figure.

It is true that AVIC is a giant enterprise, but the money does not come from the wind.In terms of research funds, I am stretched, and it is a bit difficult for AVIC to spend 70 billion.

"Then what if we borrow money from the bank in the name of AVIC?" Xu Cang asked quickly.

The cash flow of RMB 70 billion will be very stressful for any company, so Xu Cang did not expect to let AVIC bear it alone.With the reputation of AVIC, there must be some banks willing to donate generously.

"I don't think so. Before, we had already received a lot of money from the bank. As you know, our research progress is not much. If it weren't for the state's instigation, the bank would not be willing to lend us money. "Chen Jinwu sighed.

To be honest, this is the case with research. Often a large sum of money is poured in without even a sound being heard.Once or twice is okay, but if the number of times is too many, other banks can't stand it.

It is also fortunate that AVIC has state support, otherwise the bank would have blacklisted AVIC long ago.

In addition to huge amounts of money, this type of research institution still needs a lot of patience.In any case, banks are commercial profit-making institutions, how can they bear this?

Moreover, due to the first-mover advantages of Europe and the United States, patent barriers have been formed, and latecomers need more investment if they want to bypass them.Therefore, AVIC has been ARJ21 in the field of civil aircraft in recent years, which is not yet a successful model.

In this case, if there is no return on investment, the bank's patience has long since run out.

Moreover, 70 billion is not a matter of upper lip touching lower lip, even for a bank, it is not a small amount.Even if Chen Jinwu is a technician who doesn't understand bank loans, he can guess with his intuition that the bank will definitely not lend money.

"Xu Cang, if the bank is not willing to lend, then we have to transfer our own money. Now our research funds are already very tight, let alone six or seven billion, and we can't get out six or seven billion." Chen Jinwu was really embarrassed, he Knowing that what Xu Cang mentioned is possible, it is not a bad thing to hoard a batch of advanced engines in advance.

But no money means no money, even Chen Jinwu can only hope that the situation Xu Cang imagined will not happen.

"Are funds so tight?" Xu Cang knew that AVIC's funds were not very abundant. He knew a thing or two when he was with Chen Jinwu before, but Xu Cang did not expect such a shortage.

In Xu Cang's mind, 70 billion must be a huge sum of money, but it was invested in five years, and it was not a one-time investment.If it can be divided many times, the financial pressure will be much smaller.

At first, Xu Cang wanted to mention this matter to Chen Jinwu.But from what Chen Jinwu said, even if it is divided into many periods, AVIC probably won't be able to support it.

"Xu Cang, tell me the truth, what is the purpose of these 6000 PW[-]s? If it is to prevent foreign bans, the list is too big. I feel that it can be halved, or even more."

Xu Cang's previous reasons seemed to be sufficient, but in fact they were somewhat untenable in terms of quantity.A reserve of one hundred units is a bit too extravagant for a large aircraft with an uncertain future.

Even if the aircraft is developed, there is still a long way to go before it can be put into commercial use, and a series of steps such as certification and flight trials are required, and it will not be a problem to get it for five or six years.

The development time plus the time before the subsequent commercial use is almost ten years before the large-scale commercial use of domestic large aircraft.Of course, the lifespan of a successful aero engine is far more than ten years.

However, it is hard to say whether the PW6000 is still in the advanced ranks after more than ten years.Moreover, many things may happen in more than ten years, and many things may change.

If Xu Cang was worried, it would be understandable to stock up on a dozen or twenty engines, and the cost would be much lower. How could it be a hundred engines directly, which is too exaggerated.

But Xu Cang said it firmly, without any hesitation at all.

Chen Jinwu is not a layman who doesn't understand anything, although he can't guess what is the reason for Xu Cang, but he can instinctively smell something abnormal.

After finishing speaking, Chen Jinwu added: "Xu Cang, you know me well, you can tell me anything you want, I will never keep my mouth shut. But, I want to know your real thoughts, so as to judge the situation. Is there any need for the order of 6000 PW[-] engines to sink the boat?"

Xu Cang pondered for a moment: "Old Chen, if it is just to prevent a possibility in the future, then these one hundred PW6000 engines are indeed a bit extravagant. But, as I told you just now, I have some other ideas. If In order to realize those values, the order of one hundred PW6000 engines is not so exaggerated."

"I know, your number of [-] units is too abrupt. You said you have other ideas, let's hear it, maybe there is still a possibility." Chen Jinwu thought for a while: "Although we can't borrow money in the bank now , but if there is a mortgage, the situation will be much better. However, if there is a mortgage, it needs the unanimous consent of the high-level, and there must be a suitable reason.”

"A suitable reason." Xu Cang pondered for a moment: "Does Bombardier count?"

Chen Jinwu was startled: "Bombardier?"

After about half an hour, Chen Jinwu roughly understood what Xu Cang was going to do.But even with Xu Cang's explanation, Chen Jinwu was still confused. Xu Cang's plan was so complicated that even the listeners couldn't understand it.

It involves not only Bombardier, but also Japan Airlines and All Nippon Airways.

Chen Jinwu thought for a while: "You mean that Bombardier will encounter the same predicament as us? But isn't Bombardier a Canadian company, isn't it one of them?"

There is no doubt that Canada should belong to the European and American camps. To be reasonable, it should not be sanctioned.

"What is the essence of capitalism? Interests! When interests are damaged, what is camp?" Xu Cang said: "Bombardier has been developing business jets and regional jets before, so it has been able to live in peace. However, with the development of C-series aircraft Released, it has crossed the boundary. Therefore, it is time for the pioneer in the field of large passenger aircraft to let it know what the sense of boundary is.”

"You mean Boeing and Airbus?" Chen Jinwu was really a relatively pure technical researcher, and Xu Cang came to his senses when he spoke clearly.

"To be precise, it is Airbus." Xu Cang corrected: "Now the design concept of large passenger aircraft is biased towards Airbus, which is the advantage of being a latecomer. Boeing's history is too long, but it has become a burden for reform. Now more and more aircraft manufacturers can understand the advantages of Airbus fly-by-wire control. Therefore, the basic concept of C series aircraft is also similar to that of Airbus aircraft. This makes the most direct competitor of C series aircraft not Boeing, It's Airbus."

"Airbus?" Chen Jinwu thought for a moment: "Can Europe project its influence like Canada?"

"Mr. Chen, you need to know one thing. Even Canada does not have the ability to develop its own aero-engines, and Canada itself does not have the market required for self-developed engines. Therefore, in the foreseeable future, no matter whether Canada is from From the perspective of actual technological capabilities and commercialization, there will be no soil for self-developed aero-engines." Xu Cang analyzed: "So, if you want to restrain Bombardier, or Bombardier's research progress on C-series aircraft, you only need to lock Just kill its related engine imports. In a sense, Bombardier is in the same situation as us. Maybe we can meet in advance, maybe Bombardier will meet before us. From the plight of the other party, I believe that both I can see my own shadow."

"Mr. Chen, Bombardier's C-series aircraft cooperates with AVIC. I believe you also know that the engines used in the C-series aircraft are Pratt & Whitney." In fact, it is difficult to influence Bombardier. However, it can affect Pratt & Whitney, thereby indirectly sanctioning Bombardier."

Chen Jinwu felt a little unbelievable: "You mean that Airbus will sanction Bombardier on engine imports?"

"Why not?" Xu Cang asked back: "Everything is inevitable."

"However, can the C-series aircraft really pose such a big threat to Airbus that Airbus has to use its influence to limit Bombardier?" Chen Jinwu still expressed his puzzlement: "As far as I know, the sales volume of the C-series aircraft is not that high. No, maybe this is a failed model?"

Of course Xu Cang knew that the initial sales of the C series aircraft were not good.The C-series aircraft, which had been expected to be released for the first time, encountered Waterloo, which was a surprise.

Through the forecast of this sales performance, Xu Cang also made a small fortune in the capital market.

This is also the reason Chen Jinwu can't understand, just such a model that sells hips can make Airbus anxious?
"Many aircraft sold poorly in the early stage, and there were many comebacks in the later stage." Xu Cang couldn't elaborate: "As for the C-series aircraft, I am quite optimistic about its future."

Chen Jinwu was no stranger to Xu Cang's silent behavior, so he didn't ask.There was a moment of silence at the other end of the conversation: "Xu Cang, I will pass on your words to Mr. Lin, this matter requires his decision."

Being able to do this, Xu Cang already felt that it was enough: "Okay, it's up to you to think about it yourself."

"I heard that you are going to England?" Chen Jinwu asked, "Have you completed the cooperation with Luo Luo?"

"Yes." Xu Cang basically had no reservations about Chen Jinwu: "The anchor point of many things is the cooperation with Luo Luo, and I must complete this matter as soon as possible."

Chen Jinwu: "What about your hand? Didn't your hand get hurt in Japan?"

"It should be fine." Xu Cang opened his left hand, the blood scab on the wound on the palm had fallen off, and there was a faint scar in the middle: "I was going to England today, but Mr. Si's business was delayed. The date needs to be re-determined later, but after the postponement, I just went to the Southwestern Medical Center in advance to let them see my hand."

Before going to the Southwestern Medical Center, I had to arrange it after the trip to the UK.The test flight in the UK is not governed by CAAC's aviation safety regulations, so there is no need to care about the context.

However, the plan couldn't keep up with the changes. Now that this happened, the trip to the UK needs to be postponed. Now that it has been postponed, the airworthiness problem of the hand injury will be solved by the way.

Chen Jinwu didn't ask further: "That's fine, let's talk about it later when we meet."

Later, on the day of Si Weimin's burial, Chen Jinwu will also come over, and then the two can chat face to face.

After Si Weimin was buried, Chen Jinwu came over.It's not just Chen Jinwu, but most of the people in the civil aviation industry are here if they get involved in civil aviation.A few who really couldn't come, bought wreaths on their behalf to express their affection.

The small village in Shangdu was unusually lively for a long time.

On that day, Xu Cang only chatted with Chen Jinwu for a short while, and most of the things had already been discussed on the phone, and the atmosphere on the day of the burial was not suitable for discussing business matters.

After the burial at noon, Xu Cang returned to Jianchuan that afternoon.Originally, the Southwest Medical Center was located in Rongfu, but as its medical team came to Jianchuan, Xu Cang didn't have to go to Rongfu.

The Hangwei Building at Muhua Aviation Jianchuan Base will be temporarily requisitioned for three days to serve as the residence of the medical team of the Southwest Medical Center for the medical examination needs of the staff in the Jianchuan Airport working area.

Xu Cang is not a routine examination, but a temporary special physical examination.Yesterday, Xu Cang informed the flight guard room of Chunxia Airlines about his plan and asked them to make an appointment for him alone.

However, Xu Cang's situation is quite special. Due to the lack of large-scale equipment at the Jianchuan base of Muhua Airlines, many inspections cannot be done. Hand check.

With a bunch of inspection results, Xu Cangcai went to the Aviation Guard Building of Muhua Aviation Jianchuan Base.

This time Xu Cang didn't go to see surgery, internal medicine or any other department, but went directly to the general inspection room as required.Whether it can be signed or not depends entirely on the meaning of the general inspection.

The Chief Prosecutor is a female doctor, she is quite young, about 40 or [-] years old, with her hair pulled back, she looks like a good wife and mother.

The general inspector flipped through Xu Cang's inspection report for a long time, and asked casually, "Have you experienced any discomfort in your hands recently?"

"No, there was a situation where I couldn't feel the temperature once in the two days when I was injured, and it never happened again." Xu Cang pointed to the last stack of documents in the report: "I put the temperature in St. Luke's Hospital in Japan. I have also brought over my report, and the translation is attached."

"Hmm." The Chief Inspector didn't say much, and was still carefully reading Xu Cang's report. After reading it for a long time, he closed all the reports: "It seems that there is nothing wrong with it."

After finishing speaking, the chief prosecutor asked Xu Cang to stretch out his left hand and spread it out flat: "Make a fist!"

Xu Cang did as he said.

"Use your thumb to tap on the other fingertips." The General Prosecutor also demonstrated it himself while speaking.

Xu Cang understood it after watching it, and followed suit without any problems.

After reading it, the chief inspector asked Xu Cang to bring his left hand closer, and then sized up the palm to determine the location of the wound: "Does the wound usually hurt?"

"After the scab came off, it didn't hurt anymore."

"Is there any other feeling then?"

Xu Cang recalled: "I used to itch sometimes. However, it should be a normal reaction to the wound recovery."

"En." The Chief Inspector nodded, seeming to agree with Xu Cang's words: "Is there no such thing as inability to perceive the problem in the later period?"

"Yes, only once."

The general inspector pondered for a moment: "At this stage, based on the comprehensive reports, there is nothing wrong with your left hand. However, in view of the problems you have reported, you need to undergo a semi-annual inspection for two years."

The routine physical examination for civil aviation personnel is divided into annual examination and semi-annual examination.Generally speaking, before the age of 40, there is an annual inspection, and after the age of 40, it is a semi-annual inspection.Xu Cang's situation must be due to the annual inspection.

However, Xu Cang's current situation is that there is no problem with the report, but there is a problem with the self-report, so some insurance is still needed.

In fact, if Xu Cang concealed the fact that he was unable to sense the temperature before, it is estimated that the chief inspector would sign it without hesitation.However, when it comes to aviation and satellite issues, it is impossible to keep informed and not report.Once it is detected, it is not a technical problem, but a problem of style and attitude.

In many cases, style and attitude problems are even more serious than technical problems.

Skills can be practiced slowly, but if the character is bad, no matter how good the skills are, it will be a disaster.

"Is the semi-annual examination the same as after the age of 40?"

The Chief Inspector smiled and said, "No! To be precise, you have a regular annual inspection, plus a special semi-annual inspection. The semi-annual inspection is just to check your hands, and you don't need to check other subjects."

"Oh, that's fine."

"In addition, there is one more thing. In the last year, you are not allowed to perform the duties of the left seat, and within two years, you are not allowed to perform the duties of the captain." The general inspector ordered: "I hope you can understand."

The left seat and the captain are actually not completely confused, even if the captain spends most of the time in the left seat.This kind of difference often appears when the senior co-pilot establishes the experience of the left seat. At this time, the senior co-pilot is in the left seat, while the captain and instructor are in the right seat.

In other words, within one year, Xu Cang could not establish the experience of the left seat, and within two years, he could not be hired as the captain.

However, this had little effect on Xu Cang.Generally speaking, the technical level that needs to be established for the left seat is the seventh-level co-pilot. With Xu Cang's current situation of flying and stopping, it is basically impossible to upgrade to the seventh-level co-pilot within a year.

In particular, it is a big hurdle for the sixth-level co-pilot to switch to the seventh-level co-pilot, which involves inquiries from the bureau and inspection of the simulator by the bureau.

"It's okay, I'm still early from the captain or the left seat." Xu Cang smiled.

"Oh!?" The Chief Prosecutor drew a long tail, obviously implying something else, with a playful expression on his face: "If you are willing, it is not impossible to transfer to the left seat within a year, right?"

"How can there be, there will be inquiries and inspections by the bureau later."

The chief prosecutor chuckled: "How dare they not let you pass? If you don't let you pass, you can also not let them pass."

Xu Cang was stunned for a moment, then came to his senses, a little embarrassed: "I made the Chief Prosecutor laugh."

Obviously, even the navigation system has heard about Xu Cang's counter-investigation of the representative of the bureau, and the general prosecutor has recognized Xu Cang.Anyway, after so many years, this was the first time I saw the representative of the anti-investigation bureau.

However, what the General Prosecutor said is also reasonable.

When Xu Cang was about to turn to the left seat, if a bureau representative hung up on Xu Cang, Xu Cang backhandedly checked that bureau representative, who could bear it?
Therefore, Xu Cang spent a lot of effort before to obtain the qualification of the ICAO flight commissioner.With this, among other things, no one dares to play tricks on Xu Cang personally.

"What are you joking about, young man, it's normal to be angry." The Chief Procurator's eyes curled up into crescents with a smile, and he looked rather gloating: "In the future, you normally use the qualification of the co-pilot on the right seat, and this restriction will be endorsed. On your medical certificate. Also, if there is anything else normal in your left hand during the period, even if the feedback comes up.”

Although there were some restrictions, generally speaking, the results of the physical examination were good, and Xu Cang was satisfied.

"Okay, can I go then?"

The Chief Prosecutor waved his hand: "Go. I will leave these reports here. These are to be kept in the archives."

Xu Cang nodded, thanked the Chief Prosecutor, and then left the Hangwei Building.

It's just that as soon as he came out of the building, he saw a middle-aged man leaning against a pillar in the corridor outside, smoking a cigarette, and swept towards Xu Cang.

"Boss Lin?" Xu Cang was taken aback. Isn't this person the leader of AVIC?

Xu Cang walked over quickly: "Boss Lin, why are you here?"

"I'm doing some business in the southwest. Mr. Chen told me about the matter you mentioned earlier, so I stopped by to have a look."

Xu Cang nodded and pointed to a sign on the pillar: "Smoking is prohibited here."

Lin Ming was stunned for a moment, then turned his head to look at the no-smoking sign, said something in a low voice, and then reluctantly stubbed out the cigarette.

"Smoking was not allowed here before." Lin Ming laughed dryly.

"Maybe no one dared to remind you before." Xu Cang pointed to the stone chair next to him: "Go and sit over there."

Lin Ming snorted twice, but did not answer the question.

The two sat down together, and Lin Ming spoke first: "The matter you mentioned is not easy to handle."

This sentence is the final word.

In Xu Cang's impression, Lin Ming is still a good person.He said so, and it seemed that things were really difficult to handle.

"No wiggle room at all?"

Lin Ming held the extinguished cigarette butt between his arms: "It's not impossible. However, I don't think you will agree."

"How to say?" Xu Cang became a little interested.

"I believe Chen Lai told you before that the bank is not willing to lend us money now. Or to be precise, it should not be so easy to lend money. If you want to get money from the bank, you need asset collateral. If your proposal is in line with the reality, what we think is the reality, then maybe there is still room for persuasion. After all, we are not strangers, and the cooperation is quite pleasant." Lin Ming said: "However, a hundred PW6000s are actually It is not easy to deal with. Now the mainstream Boeing 737 and Airbus 320 do not use Pratt & Whitney engines. Moreover, the PW6000 engine has not yet found a suitable aircraft. We do not know what the future market will be like. .In addition, we learned that Pratt & Whitney is developing an engine that can be shifted at low pressure, so it is unknown whether the PW6000 can maintain its advanced nature."

Lin Ming's meaning is very simple, the market size of PW6000 is unknown! How long the PW6000 can maintain its advanced status is unknown!Moreover, the number of one hundred units is too large, and it is easy to drop it in the hand if you are not careful.

This is not 7000 million, but 70 billion, and the size of AVIC can't bear it.

"You mean PW8000?"

"Is that called PW8000? I remember that Pratt & Whitney has not officially named it yet. But it doesn't matter. Anyway, Pratt & Whitney is also working on the development of a new generation of variable speed aero engines. Maybe this will be a revolutionary product. Why do we Can't wait? These are a whole hundred aero engines, and they are rotten in their hands, and no one dares to take this responsibility." Lin Ming pondered for a moment: "However, I also heard from Mr. Chen that you relayed your thoughts. No way. Don’t say it, your thinking is very forward-looking. If other people say that, I will laugh it off, but if you say that, I will seriously consider it.”

"If it really happened, the value of the 6000 PW[-]s would be a huge profit."

"But the problem is, who can guarantee that it will happen? If the PW8000 you are talking about is a revolutionary product, then all previous engines will be swept into the dustbin of history. The pressure is too great."

Just like the previous Dreadnought-class battleship crushing the former Dreadnought-class battleship.If PW8000 can really change the history of aero engines, then with this engine as a node, all previous engines will become garbage.

If this is the case, then these one hundred PW6000s will all become scrap metal.

"What if I say the PW8000 won't work?"

Lin Ming laughed and said, "Can you guarantee it?"

"Uh..." Xu Cang really wanted to say that I can guarantee it, but he couldn't say such a thing, so he could only smile helplessly: "This is my personal idea."

Lin Ming restrained his smile slightly: "If you can reduce the pressure we need to bear, your proposal can be reconsidered."

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

"Aren't you going to the UK? If you can get the three-rotor technology, we hope you can transfer it to us." Lin Ming added at the end: "There is a fee."

Xu Cang frowned: "Do you want to be the major shareholder of a domestic engine company in the future?"

"That's right, you can keep a part of the shares and participate in the profit sharing."

After confirming this matter, Xu Cang took a deep breath: "Boss Lin, this matter can be recorded in the history of domestic civil aviation, and no one can refuse the opportunity to be an inscriber of history."

"That's right, as a pioneer and leader with a long history. Only such an opportunity will dilute our worries about the future of those one hundred PW6000s."

Xu Cang let out a sigh of relief: "Is this what you mean?"

Lin Ming shook his head: "That's what they mean."

Xu Cang pondered: "It seems that we can't reach a cooperation. I will find a way by myself."

"Xu Cang, with such a large amount, how can you figure it out by yourself?"

"Then what can we do?" Xu Cang's face was a little dignified: "Some things can be given way, but some things cannot be given way."

Lin Ming is not in a good mood either, although he is the person in charge of AVIC.However, this huge enterprise cannot be decided by him alone, and under the collective will, he can only succumb.

"That's really a pity." Lin Ming sighed: "However, the amount of 70 billion is too big, Xu Cang, don't go too far. I heard that you recently mortgaged some of the genuine aviation materials from Tianrong Aviation Materials. Licensing. Looks like you have something else going on besides Bombardier, and it's big too."

"Boss Lin, time doesn't wait. If you miss it, you won't have such a good opportunity in the future."

Lin Ming laughed and said, "Why do I feel that you are pointing fingers at Sang and scolding Huai?"

"I don't force it, let's cooperate next time." Xu Cang didn't say anything, but stood up: "That's why I didn't mention it, let's go."

Saying that, Xu Cang nodded towards Lin Ming, and left straight away.

Not far away, Xu Cang received a call from Lu Jinghua: "How is the situation?"

"No big problem, you can continue to fly."

"That's fine." Lu Jinghua was not surprised by this: "Then we will arrange to fly you? There may be route monitoring, from the bureau."

"Huh?" Xu Cang's nasal voice rose all of a sudden.

Lu Jinghua hurriedly explained: "No, no, it's not what you think. Uh, isn't there a hijacking incident in Japan recently? The bureau has launched a large-scale security inspection of the entire industry. All companies are the same. Let's take a look at it. That's right, just like before."

"Isn't it a big inspection of the whole industry, that's okay." Xu Cang has seen this kind of thing a lot.Whenever something happens, the bureau will act as if it is under pressure, and there will be an industry rectification, regardless of whether the problem is representative or not.

Although Xu Cang thinks this kind of thing is very boring, it has no great meaning except to increase the psychological pressure on the front-line employees.However, the industry situation is like this, and Xu Cang can only agree.

Previously, Xu Cang was grounded due to aviation security issues.Some recent qualifications have expired, and they need to be taken to recover. This is also a routine process.

Lu Jinghua hummed: "I just wanted to tell you. Does the flying instructor have any requests? I can mention them to the planning room alone."

"No, just arrange one at random." Xu Cang smiled and said, "I don't care."

At the same time, at Heathrow Airport on the other side of the world, Rolls-Royce chief engineer Jonathan Meyers appeared at the arrival layer exit.Suddenly, he saw his assistant.

Walking up to the assistant, Jonathan handed the handbag to the assistant: "Let's go."

The assistant was a little strange, and glanced towards the exit: "Didn't you say that Xu Cang, who was flying the test, would come with him?"

"He has something to do at the moment, let's postpone it for a while." Jonathan asked casually, "Where's Ai Randy?"

"He's gone skiing." The assistant responded immediately, "He will go there every year at this time."

"Or the manor on the Alps?" Jonathan knew CEO Luo Luo's interest, but he remembered something: "Didn't you say that there would be a snowstorm on the Alps a while ago? You also said that you should try not to go skiing there. Do you still go like this?"

The "uh" assistant didn't know how to answer this question for a while.

Jonathan waved his hand: "Forget it, he should know about it, and it should be fine. Anyway, he also signed the document for the Trent 1000 test, so he came back just in time for acceptance."

If he remembers correctly, the CEO of Rolls-Royce will spend a week or so on vacation in the Alps.Previously, Xu Cang said he would come over in four or five days.When the time comes, prepare for the day and test the engine.

It happened to be able to finish the matter before Ailandi came back, and it was just in time for him to check and sign.

Everything seems to be in order.
