Return to 2000: Captain of the Great Powers

Chapter 306 Snow Mountain Rescue! (Please subscribe!)

In the small central garden of an ordinary community in Hanjing, an ordinary-looking middle-aged man in a gray sweater was walking slowly on the gravel path.

The greenery in the old community is not bad, both sides are lush and green, and the air can smell the fragrance of grass.

This person is none other than Xu Ruxing who returned from Tianning.

Behind him, the burly assistant followed closely.When Xu Cang saw him last time, his suit was looser, but this time the suit was a little tighter, his chest muscles and biceps wanted to burst the suit.

"Have you found out the background of the Kraft Medical Center?" Xu Ruxing said lightly, like an inconspicuous middle-aged man walking around.

The assistant followed behind and said respectfully: "I found out, the biggest funder of Kraft Medical Center is General Medicine."

"General Medicine?" Xu Ruxing was taken aback, "Did General Medicine have a problem with Xu Cang?"

"Strictly speaking, General Medicine has nothing to do with Xu Cang, but General Dynamics does." The assistant said, "According to the information I collected, the CEO of General Dynamics had contact with Xu Cang, but the process was not pleasant. Moreover, General Dynamics The progress of power on the new engine GENx is not smooth. If General Dynamics finds Xu Cang, you can basically guess the reason."

Xu Ruxing snorted: "Just like the British Rollo? In the flight test, Xu Cang is really easy to use."

"It seems that Xu Cang doesn't care about this."

"Things like flight tests are always dangerous. Who can guarantee that they can survive every time? It's normal for him not to agree." Xu Ruxing said with a smile: "It seems that the CEO of General Dynamics is because of Xu Cang's Refused and angry."

Xu Ruxing pondered for a moment: "So, you ask Xu Cang for a copy of his medical file, and then you do some processing on this file to hide his identity information. In my name, send it to Kraft Medical Center, just say It's for research, ask them if there are any problems in their files."

Xu Ruxing is a member of the medical field, and this kind of mutual assistance for the purpose of research is relatively common, and with Xu Ruxing's reputation, Kraft Medical Center should give some face.

However, this is prone to a problem.

"Boss, what if someone from Kraft Medical Center wants to do a real-life exam?"

Some things may not be obvious from the files alone. If the Kraft Medical Center says to let me come for an examination, wouldn't it be all revealed?

Xu Ruxing waved his hand: "We'll talk about these things later."

The assistant didn't say anything, but nodded: "I will do it. However, it may not be possible now. If there is no accident, Xu Cang is already on his way to England."

"Then wait a few days, there is no rush anyway."

After finishing speaking, Xu Ruxing fell silent, and just walked forward silently.In the past few days after returning from Tianning, Xu Ruxing's interest has not been very high. Perhaps it was the time when Tianning paid homage to his deceased wife that made him miss him again.

The assistant followed behind, hesitated several times, and finally said: "Boss, there is one more thing about Xu Cang, I feel that I need to tell you."

Xu Ru didn't even answer her outfit: "Say!"

"Recently there are various indications that Xu Cang is raising a large amount of funds."

Xu Ruxing paused, showing a trace of curiosity: "What is he going to do?"

"They're contacting brokerages about lending a lot of Airbus stock."

"This kind of operation should be very secretive, and you can find it out?" Xu Ruxing was a little surprised.

At this point, a strange look flashed across the assistant's face: "Because they contacted our brokerage."

This time, Xu Ruxing laughed: "How much did he prepare?"

The assistant said with a smile: "When I contacted you in the early stage, the information disclosed probably exceeded [-] million."

"[-] million." Xu Ruxing pondered for a moment: "For Xu Cang, it seems that he has a plan in mind to raise so much money at once."

"If there are no surprises, Xu Cang is bearish on Airbus." The assistant said: "However, as the first A380 is about to be put into commercial operation and the euro is issued, Airbus's stock has been quite strong. Xu Cang's views seem to be different from the mainstream. So much the same."

Xu Ruxing found a stone bench and sat down: "It seems that something will happen to Airbus in the near future."

"Boss, you." The assistant couldn't believe it. Xu Ruxing also tended to agree with Xu Cang's point of view when he said this, but it didn't make sense.No matter from which point of view, at least in the near future, the stock of Airbus should be at a high level. How can Stud be short-sighted?

The assistant carefully reminded Xu Ruxing: "Boss, even our evaluation department's views on Airbus are consistent with the mainstream."

"I don't really understand the financial issues, but I understand this person, what he determines, it will definitely happen."

Even the tall and tall assistant didn't feel the corners of his mouth twitch when he heard Xu Ruxing's words.What is this called, disregarding basic financial principles, trusting a person unconditionally, why did this irrational behavior happen to Xu Ruxing?

He has been by Xu Ruxing's side for many years, and he is used to Xu Ruxing's operations like a god.

In the eyes of outsiders, Xu Ruxing is just a world-renowned doctor with many medical patents.But in fact, Xu Ruxing's business empire is beyond the imagination of many people.

To be able to build such a vast business empire, it can only be based on unbelievable rationality, completely unreasonable trust in a person, regardless of the laws of reality, this kind of thing should not happen to Xu Ruxing.

However, since Xu Ruxing said so, the assistant thought of another question: "Boss, do we need to sell the Airbus stock in our hands?"

If Xu Ruxing's default position is to believe in Xu Cang, it means that he also agrees that Airbus will have a big stock drop in the near future.However, they also hoard a large number of Airbus stocks in their own hands. If Airbus stocks plummet, they will also suffer huge losses.

However, Xu Ruxing waved his hand: "No, we don't care about short-term stock price fluctuations, and even said that we can increase our holdings of some Airbus shares at the bottom of certain stock prices."

The assistant was stunned, his brain began to lose the ability to think, and he couldn't understand Xu Ruxing's operation at all.

"Boss, do you mean that Airbus' stock plunge in the future is purely due to accidents? In the long run, Airbus's stock still has investment value?" the assistant asked.

Only such an explanation can conform to Xu Ruxing's practice.

Generally speaking, if you are so determined to be bearish on a company, there is a high probability that there are some extremely serious problems inside or outside it.If it really develops to this point, it is basically nailed to the coffin. Can it rise again?

However, both Xu Cang's and Xu Ruxing's operations are very inconsistent with mainstream judgments, and rational judgments are simply not feasible.

"Boss." The assistant asked carefully: "What do you think is the reason for the recent plunge of Airbus? There seems to be no sign."

Xu Ruxing thought hard, and finally sighed: "I don't know."

"I don't know." The assistant really didn't know what to say at this time, the co-author was all because he believed in Xu Cang.

By this time, the assistant also gave up the idea of ​​being able to understand Xu Cang and Xu Ruxing, and simply only cared about one question: "Boss, let's wait and see what happens this time?"

"Of course not. Thanks to Xu Cang, maybe we can operate it." Xu Ruxing said with a smile, "You should contact some other large securities companies."

The assistant was startled: "What are you doing?"

"I believe in Xu Cang, so I naturally believe that Airbus will plummet in the near future. If this is the case, why not use this information? Who said that brokerages can't short Airbus?" Xu Ruxing said with a smile: "A little manipulation For a moment, I will lend Airbus shares from other large brokerages under other names. In addition, after the recent issuance of the euro, the European market is generally hot. At this time, I will guide public opinion to see if I can push Airbus shares further. A push. Against this background, Airbus should not be aware that someone is deliberately raising their stock price, but will only feel that it is a bonus under the euro issuance.”

The assistant nodded and said: "Boss, do you need to push it up with all your strength, or do you need to use a little force?"

"The main thing is to hide yourself, don't attract too many people's attention. Remember, what is now is just icing on the cake, there is no need to expose."

"Then I understand, I will do it."

Xu Ruxing hummed: "Things are getting more and more interesting."

Time flies, and ten hours later, a Boeing 747 of Tiandong Airlines landed at Heathrow Airport in the United Kingdom.Soon, at the arrival gate, Jonathan, Luoluo's chief engineer, and Song Xinyang, an executive, had been waiting for a long time.

Seeing Xu Cang's arrival, Jonathan greeted him warmly: "Mr. Xu is exhausted, hard work, hard work."

"The space in the first class cabin is big enough, so it's not too hard."

Suddenly, Jonathan found Deng Peng following Xu Cang, and was a little puzzled: "Who is this?"

"I mentioned to you before that after the test flight, I can choose three places, and they will learn three-rotor technology in Luoluo. Here, this is one of them, and I have already brought it here."

Jonathan was startled, and then smiled brightly: "It seems that Mr. Xu has a certain chance of winning."

Xu Cang didn't answer the question directly, but asked, "When will the test flight start?"

When mentioning the test flight, Jonathan's expression suddenly became more serious: "The morning after tomorrow. The prototype of the Trent 1000 is undergoing final adjustments. Believe me, we don't want any problems during the test flight."

"Test flight platform?"

"As I said before, an Airbus 330."

"new?"

Jonathan twitched: "Of course it's old. Although we are willing to spend money on test flights, that's not how we spend money. Although the A330 is a little older, it meets airworthiness standards in all aspects. You can rest assured on that."

"Don't worry, I want to take a look for myself." Xu Cang said solemnly: "Forget about today, take me to see the A330 tomorrow. Now the prototype of the Trent 1000 has been installed?"

"It will be installed tonight, and then there will be 36 hours of debugging time." Jonathan added: "It should be no problem."

"Should?" Xu Cang sneered: "Do you British people like to put things off so late? In case something goes wrong, you don't allow more time. It seems that 36 hours is not enough."

If there is no problem, then 36 hours is definitely enough.But what if something went wrong?Is it possible that the test flight has to be delayed?

This kind of test flight needs to go through a lot of formalities and approvals. If you don't catch up with the time, it will take a long time to delay.

Many of Xu Cang's affairs are focused on this trip to England, if there is a change, the follow-up impact will still be great.

A look of embarrassment appeared on Jonathan's face: "It's a small situation, but we can handle it."

Xu Cang frowned: "What's wrong?"

"Our CEO is on vacation." Song Xinyang stepped forward to take over the conversation: "The flight test was carried out by cooperation of many departments, and our CEO was responsible for the overall planning before. However, he went to the Alps not long ago. I'm on vacation. Without the coordination of the CEO, the cooperation between various departments is a little hindered, so the time is a little tight. However, we can assure you that the test flight will be carried out at the scheduled time. You just need to adjust the state, It can be tested on the plane on the same day.”

"Vacation?" Xu Cang was stunned when he heard it, "The Trent 1000 should be very important to you."

"It's very important." Song Xinyang was also a little helpless: "But compared with vacations, vacations are more important."

"You guys" can only say that there are really too many differences in the workplace culture between the East and the West.Now that the matter has come to this point, Xu Cang feels that it will be impossible for that CEO to come back at this time, so he has to accept all this: "Whatever, if something goes wrong, you will lose the most."

Knowing that he was wrong, Jonathan scratched his head: "Thank you Mr. Xu for understanding, let's go, let's go to Luoluo's headquarters first."

Xu Cang just took two steps, and suddenly thought of something: "Do you have President Richard's contact information?"

"Richard?" Jonathan was taken aback: "Richard, the president of the International Federation of Airline Pilots Association?"

Xu Cang nodded: "That's him!"

At the same time, in the director's office of the Seoul Aviation Administration of South Korea, Choi Sang-do, the president of Korean Air, is sipping tea leisurely with a happy face.During this period of time, what seemed to be the crushing of Asiana Airlines turned into an extremely painful war of attrition in the end. In fact, the president Choi Sang-do was also under tremendous pressure.

However, fortunately, the end result is good.

Director Jin, who was opposite Cui Xiangdao, saw that he was in a good mood, and said with a smile: "President Cui, it seems that the acquisition of Asiana Airlines is already a certainty?"

"Since Muhua Airlines cut off its international business relationship with Asiana Airlines, Asiana Airlines has plummeted. We have made a formal acquisition proposal to Asiana Airlines, and now we are waiting for a reply from there." Cui Xiangdao put down his teacup: " Asiana Airlines is at the end of its rope, and soon it will be our subsidiary."

"President Cui, if the No. [-] and No. [-] airlines in China merge, will it trigger an anti-monopoly investigation?" Director Jin asked casually.

"Director Jin." Cui Xiangdao didn't seem to care very much: "Our legal department has already thought of countermeasures for this kind of thing at the beginning of the acquisition. Even if an anti-monopoly investigation is triggered, we are confident that we will get through it safely."

After finishing speaking, the more Cui Xiangdao thought about it, the more complacent he felt.If Korean Air and Asiana Airlines merge, its scale will be close to that of Japan Airlines. He is afraid that he will have the opportunity to live the addiction of the president of Asia's largest airline.

Whenever he thinks of this, Cui Xiangdao feels extremely happy.

Life is so wonderful, how can anyone think that Asiana Airlines, which has been fighting with them for so many years, will expose the scandal of falsified documents due to a mistake of its own, thus giving Korean Air a chance.

With this credit alone, his position at Korean Air will be greatly strengthened.I am afraid that for a long time, Korean Air will not change the president.

"That's good, that's good." Director Jin laughed a couple of times in agreement, and then stopped talking several times.

Cui Xiangdao naturally noticed the change in Director Jin's expression, and smiled slightly: "Director Jin, just bring up what you have. You asked me to come here, shouldn't you just treat me to tea?"

Director Jin coughed twice: "Ah, I have something to tell President Cui."

"Good news or bad news?"

"This. It shouldn't be too good for you." Director Jin gritted his teeth, his expression very embarrassed: "Just now I received the news from above that the Minzhuang air disaster was finally determined."

"Minzhuang Air Crash? The one on the cargo plane?" Cui Xiangdao was stunned for a moment, and immediately became nervous: "What do you say?"

Director Jin sighed: "Your Korean Air crew bears full responsibility, and this is the final conclusion."

Cui Xiangdao's face changed greatly: "What? The whole world basically uses imperial units, but the metric units are used over there. They shouldn't reflect on it. They shouldn't be responsible. Why did they push it all to us?"

The muscles at the corners of Director Jin's mouth twitched, thinking that you crew members who misread the altimeter can still be so confident.However, at any rate, the two parties have some cooperative relationship in private, and Director Jin didn't want to make things too harsh, so he just laughed dryly: "The final conclusion was made by the Air Accidents Committee, and has nothing to do with us. Besides, it's a long way from the Minzhuang Air Disaster." It's time, and the pressure from public opinion will not be too great, just complete the compensation obligation in a low-key manner, and the impact should not be great."

Cui Xiangdao put the teacup heavily on the tea table, and said bitterly: "Those guys are worth 100 million US dollars each when they open their mouths, and those cheap lives are worth 100 million US dollars? We are kind enough to give them a tenth." .”

"Then President Cui means that he wants to suppress the death compensation?"

Cui Xiangdao hummed: "Since the decision of the Air Accident Committee has been made, it can only be implemented. However, it only stipulates our liability for compensation, but there is no rigid regulation on the specific amount of compensation. One million US dollars? They also match?"

The death compensation that Cui Xiangdao refers to is of course not for the family members of the crew. The cause of the plane crash is the crew. Cui Xiangdao hates them to death.

The extended problem of the Minzhuang air accident is that the plane accidentally injured some innocent people on the ground when it fell to the ground, and the compensation is for these people who were accidentally injured.

Director Jin thought about it for a while: "President Cui, if it is based on 100 million US dollars per person, the total will be close to 200 billion won. Does this put a lot of pressure on Korean Air?"

Cui Xiangdao's face was a little ugly. Of course, 200 billion won is a huge amount of money, but if it was before, Korean Air might just hold its nose and take it out.

However, Korean Air itself was having a hard time because of its deadly confrontation with Asiana Airlines.Moreover, the remaining large amount of funds of Korean Air will be used for the acquisition of Asiana Airlines. How can it suddenly spend an extra 200 billion won?
Looking at Cui Sang-do’s face, Director Jin guessed the general idea, but he just lamented that the death fight between Korean Air and Asiana Airlines some time ago was indeed a huge impact, and 200 billion won made Korean Air feel powerless.

"In addition to the money, there is actually another problem." Cui Xiangdao snorted coldly: "In addition to asking for monetary compensation, those people also need us to make a public apology."

Chief Jin took a breath, he finally knew why Cui Xiangdao was so annoyed.Perhaps, monetary compensation is really secondary, and the public apology is probably the most terrible thing.

The Minzhuang air disaster finally calmed down in public opinion. If Korean Air made a public apology, it would undoubtedly push itself to the forefront again.At other times, it would be fine, just bear with it and it will be over.

However, this kind of thing happened at the critical moment of the acquisition of Asiana Airlines, which will undoubtedly cause variables in the acquisition process.

"I'm not afraid of Director Jin's jokes. In order to force Asiana Airlines to surrender, we Korean Air was under a lot of pressure. Now the financial pressure is quite urgent. When the Minzhuang air crash happened, Director Jin, you just took office, you should remember The scene at that time. During the two years of the air crash, our performance dropped by nearly 20.00%. Finally, this matter gradually subsided, and our performance began to pick up gradually. A disaster, especially at this juncture."

Regardless of the fact that Asiana Airlines has run out of fuel, and Korean Air itself is having a hard time, after all, a price war is a tactic to kill one thousand enemies and hurt eight hundred.

In this case, if the public opinion of the Minzhuang Air Crash rises again and there is another 20.00% drop in performance, it is estimated that Korean Air's own basic market will collapse.

In terms of monetary compensation and public apology, if the former cannot be won, Korean Air may barely accept it.But the latter, in this weak period of Korean Air, would not agree to it anyway, and it would kill Korean Air.

Director Jin probably understood what Cui Xiangdao meant: "President Cui, can't we spend money to eliminate the disaster? Or give more money so that they don't insist on a public apology. In special times, there is no way to suffer a little."

"You think we haven't mentioned it?" Cui Xiangdao gritted his teeth and said, "These gangsters are greedy, damn it!"

At the end, Cui Xiangdao became more and more irritable.The qualitative timing of the Air Accident Committee this time is really not good, but for two months at night, the impact of this incident on Korean Air is not that great.

Sometimes, how much damage depends not on how deep the knife is pierced, but on the right place at the right time.

"That's it." Director Jin saw that Cui Xiangdao looked like a volcano on the verge of erupting, so he decided to talk less, so as not to cause unnecessary disasters.

Suddenly, Cui Xiangdao said: "Director Jin, is there any way you can ask the Air Accidents Committee to postpone the release of the qualitative results of the Minzhuang air accident?"

Director Jin's face changed drastically when he heard this, and his head shook like a rattle: "No, no, we seem to be the same department, but in fact we are very independent. How can I influence the Air Accidents Committee?"

"I didn't ask you to change the result, but I just wanted to postpone the release date of the result, two months, no, one month is fine." Cui Xiangdao said anxiously.

Director Jin's face was full of embarrassment: "President Cui, I understand your feelings, but the Air Accident Committee is very independent. And because the Minzhuang Air Disaster was a Boeing plane, the NTSB of the United States was also involved in this incident. It's really hard to do."

NTSB, the National Transportation Safety Board, is an agency in the United States that investigates transportation accidents, which naturally include aviation accidents.

The Minzhuang air accident seems to have nothing to do with the United States, but because the aircraft was made in the United States, the NTSB will participate in the investigation of the accident, but it will not take the lead.

"Director Jin, if it's inconvenient for you, can you introduce some people from the Air Accidents Committee?" Cui Xiangdao still didn't give up, obviously he was pushed into a hurry.

"This." Chief Jin showed a thoughtful expression: "I'll think about it, I'll think about it."

At night, melodious music floated in a high-end tea restaurant in London, England. All the people present were dressed in Chinese costumes. Although there were quite a few of them, there was almost no noise except for the crisp sound of tableware touching.

In the restaurant, everyone kept their duties, and even the voice of conversation could be lowered.

And in a corner of the restaurant, Xu Cang was also dressed in formal attire, sitting upright.

To be honest, Xu Cang didn't like this kind of atmosphere or occasion very much, it made him feel restrained naturally.However, I will meet with the leader of the International Federation of Airline Pilots Association in a while, and the occasion should be more formal.

With 5 minutes left before the scheduled time, Xu Cang was a little tired.I was quite tired after flying from Hanjing, and I just took a short nap in the afternoon, and now I am tired.

At first, Xu Cang just yawned.But soon, the unstoppable drowsiness almost overwhelmed Xu Cang.

Gradually, Xu Cang seemed to lose consciousness, and his body tilted a bit.However, the next moment, Xu Cang's shoulder was held down, and Xu Cang woke up suddenly.Xu Cang turned his head abruptly, and immediately saw Richard who was also dressed in formal attire.

"You look tired?" Richard patted Xu Cang on the shoulder, and then sat down opposite Xu Cang.

Xu Cang cheered up: "After more than ten hours of flying, anyone would be tired."

Richard snapped his fingers, greeted the waiter, and said with a smile: "Then you can push back the meeting time."

"No, I'm short on time, so I can only do this." Xu Cang rubbed his eyes.

"You don't have to push yourself so hard." Richard took the menu handed over by the waiter: "What do you want to eat?"

Xu Cang waved his hand: "It doesn't matter, it's all the same to me."

"The baked snails here are okay, the rest are so-so." Richard said with a smile, "If you don't mind, let me order?"

Xu Cang gave a gesture: "Anything you want."

Richard whispered something to the waiter, it didn't sound like English, at least Xu Cang couldn't understand it at all.

The waiter nodded and left directly.

Richard was still holding the menu: "It takes time to order food. Since you are so busy, let's hurry up and talk about it while ordering. How about walnut chicken soup?"

"Yes!" Xu Cang nodded: "Mr. Richard, please come here this time because I need your help in the future."

"Oh?" Richard raised his eyebrows: "What?"

"In the near future, there will be a compensation claim for the air accident of Korean Air. For some reasons, Korean Air should reject the relevant compensation claim. I hope that Mr. Richard will put pressure on Korean Air in public opinion."

The influence of the International Federal Airline Pilots Association on airlines is very strong.Like ICAO, that's the official body.While the International Transport Association is nominally an alliance between airlines, it is actually a semi-official organization.Only the International Federal Airline Pilots Association is a federation of practitioners.

Although this association is not an official organization, its influence is not inferior to that of ICAO and IATA.

Xu Cang was able to predict that the final result of the Minzhuang air crash would come out in the near future. Naturally, Korean Air could not go against this result, but if they only wanted to delay, it would not be in line with Xu Cang's plan. Some external pressures prevented them from ignoring the Minzhuang air disaster.

Only in this way, Korean Air will have to face the acquisition of Asiana Airlines and the compensation for the Minzhuang air disaster at the same time. Under such heavy pressure, Korean Air is likely to be unable to withstand it.

"I will look into that matter. If it is really the responsibility of Korean Air, I will fulfill the relevant responsibilities to maintain the image of the aviation industry." Richard said lightly: "Cucumber with red juice?"

Xu Cang frowned and shook his head: "I don't like cucumbers."

"Chicken saffron?"

"I don't like chicken either." Xu Cang smacked his lips and said, "Let's have steak with foie gras."

"Hehe, it seems that not all Western food is the same to you." Richard nodded: "However, your food preference is indeed quite unique."

Xu Cang didn't really want to spend too much time on meals, but directly changed the subject: "Mr. Richard, if you can help me, I will be grateful, as a thank you."

"No!" Richard waved his hand, stopping Xu Cang's words: "If you want to thank me, can you listen to my request?"

"Huh?" Xu Cang was taken aback, "What request?"

"Xu Cang, there are mediocre people everywhere in the world, but only a few capable ones. I am very optimistic about you. Come and help me." Richard said solemnly.

"Let me join the association?" Xu Cang didn't change his expression: "This is fine."

It is normal to join the International Federation of Airline Pilots Association, and there are many members of it in China. If it is only this request, then Xu Cang will naturally accept it.

"No, no, no." Richard smiled and shook his head: "You didn't join as a member, but as a council member."

Xu Cang was stunned: "You let me be the manager?"

The highest decision-making body of the association is the board of directors. If Xu Cang joins as a director, it is equivalent to entering the management of the association.However, Xu Cang was not very happy, for this invitation, he did not show his due reaction.

"Yes." Richard nodded: "Or, it is possible that you can take over my position."

Xu Cang laughed directly: "That's not okay, this seat is too conspicuous, and accidents are easy to happen."

"Then you mean to refuse?" Richard raised his eyebrows.

"There are so many people in the world, why give me this seat?" Xu Cang said with a smile, "Perhaps your request is too high."

Richard laughed louder, even a little eye-catching in the relatively quiet restaurant, and some guests at other tables cast some surprised eyes here.

"Xu Cang, you misunderstood me. I have nothing to ask for." Richard stretched out a finger: "Since it represents the interests of all civil aviation pilots, what is the last word in this field? Technology! I don't care about anything." Management ability, overall planning ability, all the foundations must meet my technical requirements. Unfortunately, no one can meet this one alone.”

"But as far as I know, if you want to enter the council, you must temporarily hand over all civil aviation-related industries to a third party until you leave office."

Richard said calmly: "There is such a rule."

"Then it's fine, how could I agree?" Xu Cang spread his hands: "This shouldn't be something unpredictable, right?"

Richard took a deep look at Xu Cang: "Xu Cang, do you know what the greatest strength of our association is?"

Xu Cang's heart moved slightly: "What is it?"

Richard's lips moved slightly: "It's a trade union! Do you know why all civil aviation-related industries need to be handed over to a third party to enter the council? Because our strength is beyond your imagination. As long as any director is willing, he will You can gain huge benefits for your own industry. You don’t want to accept this invitation. I know your reason is very simple. Maybe you have more ambitious plans, but believe me, as long as I am willing, you will be in all foreign countries in the field of civil aviation. Business, can I kill it all?"

Xu Cang narrowed his eyes: "Are you threatening me?"

"No, no, no, why do you have such an idea?" Richard said innocently: "I just let you make a more correct choice. What you insist on is comparable to the power of the International Federal Airlines Pilots Association." It’s extremely ridiculous to compare. You don’t need to work hard, as long as you gently and naturally give up those unrealistic and useless dreams, you will be able to directly obtain the highest power in the civil aviation industry.”

"It seems that you are very anxious about the candidate for your successor." Xu Cang sneered.

"During the Jakarta volcanic ash incident, I had already made a choice, so I was never anxious." Richard smiled: "How? The shortest term of the president is five years, as long as you can demonstrate your ability within five years , after leaving office, you will have our more trusted support."

Xu Cang originally planned to ask Richard for a small favor, but unexpectedly things turned out like this, which made Xu Cang a little unexpected.

Seeing Xu Cang's deep thought, Richard said softly: "I can give you time to think, but not too long, I don't have such much patience. Of course, as my meeting ceremony, Korean Air crashed in Minzhuang I will help with the above matters, of course, the premise is that the responsibility is indeed on Korean Air."

Xu Cang didn't speak, and at this moment, he couldn't give an answer either.

Seeing that Xu Cang stopped talking, Richard snapped his fingers and said with a smile: "The business is over, let's enjoy dinner."

While Xu Cang was thinking hard, a huge Airbus 330 was parked in the huge factory building of Rolls-Royce Power Workshop, and the suspension engines on both sides of the wings were obviously different from the fuselage.

This Airbus 330 is obviously quite old, but the hanging engine painting is very new, and unlike the Trent 330 engine used by ordinary Airbus 700, the new engine seems to be slightly larger.

Under the wing, Jonathan looked solemnly at the two Trent 1000 test models. In the cockpit, the technicians were still adjusting the aircraft so that the Airbus 330 could be adapted to this new engine that had not yet been released.

Suddenly, Song Xinyang appeared beside Jonathan.However, Jonathan's attention was all on the plane, and he didn't react until Song Xinyang approached.

It wasn't until Song Xinyang was only two steps away that Jonathan came to his senses and turned his head to look at Song Xinyang: "What are you doing here?"

Song Xinyang is not a technician, and there is nothing he can do during the debugging process. Staying here is simply a waste of time.

However, Jonathan soon noticed that Song Xinyang's face was a little strange: "What's the matter, what's wrong?"

Song Xinyang pursed his lips: "Ailandi has an accident!"

"What?" Jonathan suddenly raised his voice, "What's going on?"

"The blizzard in the Alps has suddenly increased, and all land routes up the mountain have been blocked. Now the temperature in that area has dropped to more than minus 30 degrees. Because the external passage has been cut off, there is a shortage of supplies there. According to the forecast of the meteorological department , The blizzard will intensify in the future, and it will last for at least a week. If this is the case, all the people in the manor will freeze to death."

Jonah's complexion changed drastically: "It's impossible to go by land, so take the air. I remember there is a small airport near the manor."

"I tried it, but the helicopter couldn't go down because of the turbulent airflow. Now the rescue team is organizing manpower and plans to fly a large flight over there." Song Xinyang said it was getting ugly: "However, the runway of the airport on the mountain is very short. The plane may not be able to land. If it does not land, the situation is very critical."

As far as Song Xinyang knew, the airport attached to the manor on the mountain was originally mainly for receiving helicopters.

But under turbulence, the helicopter is like a leaf in a strong wind, unable to hold on at all.Only large aircraft have stronger wind resistance and have the possibility of approach.But short runways are simply a nightmare for large aircraft.

At the end, Song Xinyang took a deep breath: "Now...what should I do?"
