Return to 2000: Captain of the Great Powers
Chapter 307 There is no help, wait to die!
Chapter 307 There is no help, wait to die!
In the suburbs of Shanghai, due to the rapid development of Shanghai in recent years, the urban area is constantly expanding.Originally, this place was just a wilderness, but now it is full of buildings.
However, this place is not a living area, but mostly regular factory buildings, such as housing complexes or some entertainment facilities, which are relatively lacking, and the whole area is not popular.
However, there is one area that is more conspicuous in this newly built factory area.Compared with the brand-new decoration painting nearby, the buildings here are low and old, out of tune with the surroundings.
Before the building gate, Zhou Yanping looked at the closed gate with a rather ugly expression.There is a sign on the side of the pillar of the gate, which says Shanghai Xinmu Fruit Industry Co., Ltd., yes, it is the supplier of the fruit in the previous Tiandong Airlines flight catering.
Gu Chen told Zhou Yanping before that Xinmu Fruit Industry is not a purely commercial company, but has a certain charitable nature. If it is not handled properly, it will easily cause public opinion.
Prior to this, Zhou Yanping was thinking of following the contract. If he changed suppliers, he would just change them. At worst, he would just pay liquidated damages.However, since his master had already spoken, Zhou Yanping thought about going there himself, but he was turned away when he came.
About half an hour ago, after Zhou Yanping reported his identity to the guard, he passed in, and then there was nothing else.Zhou Yanping stood at the gate for half an hour.
Looking at the doorman sitting on the small bench, Zhou Yanping was angry and annoyed, he was temperless, half an hour was not enough to leave him here?
Xinmu fruit industry is such a big shelf!
"I said, sir, have you asked?" Zhou Yanping became a little impatient, and asked the guard again: "Lu Zhiming knew I was coming?"
The old man was estimated to be in his 60s, his face was covered with wrinkles, his back was stooped, and his complexion was dark. He looked like an old farmer who had worked in the fields for half his life.
Perhaps he was deaf, the uncle turned sideways: "Who?"
Zhou Yanping only felt a headache: "Lu Zhiming, your boss?"
"Boss, I've said it, I've said it." The doorman waved his hand: "He told you to stand at the door."
Zhou Yanping was startled, two blue veins popped up on his forehead, it was deliberate to co-author Xinmu Guoye.
Although Master Gu Chen had reminded him, Zhou Yanping didn't just accept it. Standing at the door for so long had already worn away his patience.He glanced inside, snorted, and waved back to the secretary: "Let's go."
However, just as he turned around here, there was a joking voice from the side door: "Just stood there for half an hour, Mr. Zhou can't take it anymore?"
Zhou Yanping paused when he heard this, turned around and saw a tall, thin middle-aged man leaning against the side gate fence and looking at him with a sneer.This person was wearing a faded plaid shirt with very common jeans underneath, and the folds of the clothes were obvious, and the hair was messy. The image was really not very flattering.
However, this person is the general manager of Xinmu Fruit Industry, that is, Lu Zhiming mentioned by Zhou Yanping just now.
"Insisting on something meaningful, you're deliberately leaving me alone, and I'm still suffering here, isn't that too unwise?" Zhou Yanping said coldly, "I don't have the habit of finding unpleasant things for myself."
Lu Zhiming said through the side door, "You rich people, you can't bear the slightest bit of anger. You do things as you please, without considering how many people your decisions will affect."
"For example, the change of supplier this time?" Zhou Yanping shrugged: "So, didn't I come here to discuss it, and you don't seem to appreciate it very much."
"Discussion?" Lu Zhiming raised his chin: "Tell me, how do you discuss?"
Zhou Yanping completely turned his body back: "The supplier must be changed, this is the prerequisite. However, in terms of liquidated damages, we will pay an additional 20.00%. The extra liquidated damages are our Tiandong Airline sincerity."
In the final analysis, Zhou Yanping was still thinking that way.Since Gu Chen feels that paying liquidated damages alone is not enough, he should pay more and spend money to eliminate the disaster.
"Sincerity? Hehe." Lu Zhiming almost laughed: "Then I still want to thank you Tiandong Airlines for your great kindness."
Zhou Yanping frowned: "I am acting according to the contract. If I change suppliers, I will pay you liquidated damages, and I will pay more. Isn't that okay? Why, do you think the money is not enough?"
"Money?" Lu Zhiming pushed open the side door: "This company is the livelihood of two fruit farmers in 310. At the beginning, your chairman promised us that Tiandong Airlines would not change fruit suppliers. How can you break your promise now?"
"At the beginning of poverty alleviation, you were asked to grow fruits in Lujia Village. We, Tiandong, shouldered certain social responsibilities and provided you with sales channels. It has been several years. You have done a good job, so you don't have to stare at us. In the market There are so many people who buy fruit, why don’t they supply it at another place.” Zhou Yanping said casually: “Besides, it was the previous chairman who told you this, but it was a verbal promise, not in black and white. In this era, it’s all about the contract. , we are coming up according to the contract."
Hearing that, Lu Zhiming almost fainted on the spot, but soon he restrained his anger and laughed instead: "I just said that you people don't consider our position at all. Change the supply? Surroundings The demand is so much, where can I change the supply? The fruits of this season will be on the market in a few months. Is it to let these fruits rot in the orchard? But there are many households who have lost all their income to grow fruits. You are desperate killed their family."
"I've already paid you compensation." Zhou Yanping also became angry: "According to the contract, we will take care of you wherever you go."
"Compensation? If you make it through this year, what about next year? What about the year after? Giving a man a fish is worse than giving him a fish. Don't Mr. Zhou understand this?"
Zhou Yanping narrowed his eyes: "What? You are relying on us and want us to support you for the rest of your life?"
"I'm just repeating what your chairman said before. It's what he said. Our Lujia Village has gathered the whole village's efforts to grow fruits. Now you want to go back on your word?"
"Damn it!" Zhou Yanping wanted to scold the troublemaker on the spot, but at this time, if he talked nonsense, it would easily lead to conflicts and plans. He has already lost his composure today, and he can't think about things calmly at all.He suppressed the anger in his heart, and raised his hand to stop Lu Zhiming's words: "Whatever you say, anyway, we have done our utmost to pay 20.00% more liquidated damages. For this sake, there is nothing I can do to you. The matter has already passed. It's decided, after this month is over, you don't want to deliver goods to us, and we won't accept them if you deliver them."
Zhou Yanping, who was already on the verge of eruption, waved his hands: "I've finished talking, let's go."
After finishing speaking, Zhou Yanping didn't talk to Lu Zhiming at all, and turned his head to go to the car. Seeing this, the secretary hurried to the front to open the door for Zhou Yanping.
As a result, just as Zhou Yanping was about to get in the car, Lu Zhiming's deep voice came over: "Mr. Zhou, you don't like us little people. But if you don't let us live, we won't let you have a good time."
Zhou Yanping, who was already bored, didn't even look at Lu Zhiming, and didn't answer. He didn't look sideways after getting into the car.Soon, the vehicle started and drove away.
Lu Zhiming looked at Zhou Yanping's car which had gone away, expressionless, and didn't know what he was thinking.
About four and ten minutes later, Zhou Yanping's car had arrived near the working area of Shanghai Airport.Even after such a long time, Zhou Yanping's mood still hasn't calmed down, and he has already scolded Lu Zhiming in his heart that he was bloody.
From Zhou Yanping's point of view, Lu Zhiming is simply making trouble for no reason and is difficult to communicate with.
If it wasn't for Gu Chen saying that he would handle this matter properly, he wouldn't want to pay a single penny more in terms of liquidated damages, at least for now.
"Mr. Zhou, shall we go directly to the base?" asked the secretary sitting in the front passenger seat.
Zhou Yanping was feeling a little irritable, and didn't want to say anything more. He just hummed and planned to take a nap: "It's nothing important, don't call me, I'll squint for a while."
The secretary nodded quickly: "Understood, Mr. Zhou."
Zhou Yanping tidied his clothes a little, and just leaned back when suddenly there was noise in his ears, as if many people were shouting.
"What's the matter?" Zhou Yanping became suspicious. The airport work area is full of airlines and some departmental buildings of the airport. This kind of pure work area rarely has such movements.
However, Zhou Yanping didn't take it too seriously, looked around and continued to squint.
However, within 2 minutes of squinting, I suddenly heard my secretary exclaim: "Mr. Zhou!"
"Huh?" Zhou Yanping was a little unhappy. He was just getting sleepy, so why did he start calling someone: "What's wrong?"
I saw the secretary pointing forward in bewilderment and surprise: "Mr. Zhou, look!"
Zhou Yanping sat up a little bit, looking through the front windshield, he suddenly found that the car was almost at the gate of Muhua headquarters.However, a large number of people gathered at the main entrance of Muhua headquarters, and a huge banner was pulled up in the crowd, which read——Muhua Airlines broke its promise, disregarded the life and death of the fruit farmers, it was inhumane, and the heavens did not allow it.
Around the banner, there were hundreds of people yelling and cursing in unison, which is probably what they heard just now.
Zhou Yanping knew who these people were without even thinking about it. His mood, which had calmed down a bit just now, suddenly tensed up, and his anger shot straight to the top of the sky. He gritted his teeth: "These gangsters."
What made Zhou Yanping feel uneasy was that among the protesting villagers there were a few people carrying cameras. He suddenly felt that something was wrong. They couldn't be reporters.If this is a reporter, things will be a little troublesome.
Zhou Yanping immediately patted the driver in front of him on the shoulder: "Go through the small gate."
To be honest, even if Zhou Yanping didn't say anything, he wouldn't dare to walk through the door.Now, he turned the steering wheel, turned around, and went around to the small door.
About 10 minutes later, Zhou Yanping appeared in the chairman's office.At this moment, Zhou Yanping felt a little uneasy when facing the gloomy Gu Chen.
"Master, this matter."
Gu Chen snorted coldly: "I told you to deal with this matter carefully before, is this the result of your handling?"
"Master, I just went to Xinmu Fruit Industry, and Lu Zhiming is unreasonable." Zhou Yanping was also very helpless.
"Hmph, I have been prepared for a long time." Gu Chen dissatisfied: "You and Lu Zhiming's talks have collapsed, right? You haven't come back yet, our main entrance was blocked by them. I have already prepared for it." .You just broke down the talks over there, and this side notified the door to protest."
Zhou Yanping naturally understands this truth, but the problem is that even if it happens again, he and Lu Zhiming still have to talk to each other, and the two of them can't talk together at all.
"Master, I have already paid 20.00% more liquidated damages, but that guy Lu Zhiming doesn't want it, what can I do?" In front of Gu Chen, Zhou Yanping was not so restrained, and directly spread his hands: "Even if we talk about another hundred This time, we should talk about Beng, we still have to talk about Beng."
Facing his apprentice and successor, Gu Chen couldn't be too critical: "They don't want money, they want a way to survive, a way to survive."
"I don't know?" Zhou Yanping got angry when he mentioned this: "The Poverty Alleviation Office came to us and told us about it. We are willing to accept their fruits out of social responsibility. The purchase price is higher than the market standard price. Yicheng, isn’t that right? After so many years, he didn’t remember our kindness to help him, but instead relied on us. What’s the matter? Tiandong is a state-owned enterprise and has social responsibilities, but it’s not Charities, you can't do that."
Seeing Zhou Yanping's blushing and thick neck, Gu Chen pressed his hands: "Don't complain, those people's point of view is that Mr. Li said before that he would not change suppliers, and if we did this, it would be a breach of trust. "
"Oh, the ex-chairman is just talking about the scene, just talking, but can you still take it seriously?" Zhou Yanping also has a big head.It's not because of anything else, because the former chairman of Tiandong Airlines really said this, and it was public.
The main reason is that the case of collectively planting fruits in Lujia Village to get rid of poverty was used as a model for publicity, and Tiandong Airlines made outstanding contributions in it.At the later commendation meeting for poverty alleviation, the former chairman of Tiandong Airlines was also slammed, it was a hype, even the chairman of Tiandong Airlines was praised, and he said that sentence when he was excited talk.
In the end, it was so hard to die, the representative of Lujia Village was there at the poverty alleviation commendation meeting, so they listened to it, and when they passed it on later, it was remembered.
Gu Chen was also a little helpless. He used to work under Chairman Li, so he couldn't talk about his old boss.Now that this matter is so ugly, the former chairman is the most responsible.
"Xinmu Fruit Industry is indeed regarded as a model for poverty alleviation. We rudely cut off cooperation with it, which is easy to lose in public opinion. Coupled with what Mr. Li said back then, things are not easy to handle." While Gu Chen was speaking, he looked at Zhou Yanping with a different meaning in his eyes.
Who is Zhou Yanping? With a pair of eyes, he can basically guess: "Master, don't you want to go back on the agreement you made with Xu Cang?"
"I'm not going back on my word. This matter was originally set up to help Xu Cang. Now that there is such a big problem, he should think of a way."
"He's in England now, so there's nothing to talk to him about." Zhou Yanping said speechlessly, "Besides, I can't open my mouth about this kind of thing."
"Is there anything you can't talk about?"
Zhou Yanping became a little anxious: "Master, you still don't understand. Xu Cang is a man who values love and righteousness. It seems that we helped him for nothing, but he will repay us afterwards, and it will only make him worse." Much. We settled the matter for him, and he remembered."
"Settling it, how can it be settled?" Gu Chen was also a little unhappy: "To be honest, this matter is simple and simple. Whether it is growing fruit or something else, there is only one appeal of those hundreds of people, and that is A long-term and stable means of earning a living. As long as this matter is settled, there will be no obstacle to changing suppliers. But how do you solve the livelihood problem of hundreds of people? It can be suppressed, but when the back gets bigger and bigger, it will be out of control. At that time, we will be responsible when the higher-ups intervene."
Gu Chen also thought about Zhou Yanping's feelings, and his tone was a little more relaxed: "You change your mind. Since you agree with Xu Cang's ability so much, it is normal for friends to make suggestions. When he returns to China, what can I do to ask him to add up? He made an idea, let's handle the matter, so it's okay for the head office?"
Zhou Yanping thought for a while: "This is also fine."
Gu Chen was also speechless, his disciple's elbow was a little obvious.Not thinking about other things in his mind, he decided to do what he promised Xu Cang.
"Well, don't show up today either. You have an appointment with a few media outlets tonight, and you have a meal with them in person to suppress this matter temporarily." Gu Chen instructed: "Pay attention to your tone."
Zhou Yanping knew that this was necessary. If he didn't have a meal with the media and communicated with the media in advance, the matter would easily escalate to the point of uncontrollable.No matter what, at least it must be pressed until Xu Cang returns home.
Rolls-Royce headquarters test flight apron in Derbyshire, UK.
The Airbus 1000 equipped with the Trent 330 prototype engine was parked quietly on the tarmac, and there were not many people around.Although many people know that Xu Cang and Luo Luo have a cooperation in test flight, but few people know when exactly.Moreover, this test flight was conducted in secret. Except for a very few executives from the Rolls-Royce power department, the rest of the participants were basically from the technical department. All of these people signed a non-disclosure agreement. The situation will remain silent.
Of course, if the test flight is a complete success, Luo Luo will naturally announce it with great fanfare.This is the so-called report good news but not bad news.
In the cockpit of the Airbus 330, Xu Cang wore a special silver suit. According to Jonathan, the fabric of the suit is very precious. It is not only fire-resistant and waterproof, but also has excellent thermal performance and good air permeability. It is the material used in spacesuits.
Due to the fact that some unpredictable situations may occur during the test flight, Luo Luo is quite careful in protecting Xu Cang.
This time Xu Cang was sitting on the left seat, and there was a white man on the right seat who matched with Xu Cang.
In order to match with Xu Cang, Luo Luo chose a partner who could speak Chinese, but for some reason, this person hadn't spoken to Xu Cang since he took his seat, which made Xu Cang wonder if Luo Luo was lying to him. People don't know Chinese at all.
In addition to the matching flight crew, there is an engineer behind.
This person does not participate in the flight, only for debugging and recording flight data.
The cabin of this Airbus 330 has been remodeled, and a large number of monitoring equipment and data receiving and storage equipment are installed in it.Some flight data can be transmitted back to the ground in real time, but some cannot. They can only be stored in the self-equipped instruments on the aircraft.
The monitoring and storage equipment alone is extremely complicated, not to mention whether Xu Cang has the energy to take care of these things, even if he has, he can't figure it out, so he can only send another person to watch.
However, no matter it was the pilot who matched Xu Cang in the right seat, or the engineer behind him, they were always stern, unable to understand their emotions.However, from his intuition, Xu Cang felt that these two seemed not so happy.
Xu Cang can fly the Airbus 330. The Airbus plane is easier to fly. As long as you understand its working logic, it is at least easier to fly than the Boeing. This is why more and more people like the Airbus. Not Boeing.
Xu Cang prepared the plane there, and Jonathan explained some things to Xu Cang before leaving: "After the plane starts up, put on the oxygen mask immediately. The oxygen system of this plane has been specially modified and can supply Two hours of pure oxygen. In addition, there is a parachute in the safety bag behind the seat. The usage was mentioned yesterday, but we cannot guarantee the survival rate of the parachute once it is used.”
"Life and death?" Xu Cang answered.
Jonathan was silent for a moment, and finally nodded: "Remember, if you want to skydive, depressurize the plane first, otherwise you won't be able to open the hatch."
Xu Cang touched the clothes on his body: "So this clothes is also to keep me from freezing to death when skydiving?"
At an altitude of tens of thousands of feet, the temperature can be as low as minus 40 degrees. If the clothing is not good at keeping warm, even if you don’t freeze to death on the spot, you may be disabled.
"There are considerations in this regard." Jonathan admitted honestly: "Xu Cang, there is not much content in this test flight. If it goes well, it will be over in an hour."
Xu Cang pursed his lips. Of course, it is also possible that his life will end in an hour.
However, Xu Cang knew that the Trent 1000 was not a failed product. Even though this prototype may not be so perfect, at least there is no problem in the general direction. Even if there are some faults, the situation should not be too serious, so Xu Cang Still optimistic.
Compared with the test flight itself, Xu Cang glanced back at Jonathan: "You look very anxious, uncontrollable. Besides, not only you, many people seem to be like this, and there are too few people who came to observe this time No, it's not normal."
No matter how you say it, the Trent 1000 means a lot to Rollo.Even if we don't say that everyone will come, it will definitely not be like the current scene where there are few people.When Xu Cang came over just now, he found that there were only two managers here, and these two were dignified and preoccupied, obviously something went wrong.
Jonathan was stunned for a moment: "Test flight, it's normal to be stressed."
"No, it's not normal, there must be something else."
Jonathan was silent for a while: "However, it does not affect the test flight."
"Oh?" Xu Cang didn't expect Jonathan to admit it directly: "That's fine, I don't care about Luo Luo's affairs, as long as the test flight goes on normally, and don't forget the agreement between us."
"Xu Cang." Jonathan suddenly raised his voice: "If."
Halfway through speaking, Jonathan stopped talking again, and immediately waved his hand: "Forget it, it's okay."
This has basically written something on his face.
However, as Xu Cang said, he didn't care about Luo Luo's affairs.Anyway, it shouldn't be that Luo Luo went bankrupt, so Xu Cang has no interest at all.Since Jonathan didn't say anything at the end, Xu Cang didn't bother to ask any more.
"I'll see you in an hour." Jonathan said in a deep voice, "Good luck."
About 5 minutes later, Jonathan appeared on the tower of the test airport.There, Song Xinyang was worried. Seeing Jonathan approaching, he immediately went up to meet him: "The large plane of the rescue team couldn't land, and it almost crashed because of the air current. Now the rescue team has basically given up airlifting supplies."
"However, the blizzard in the Alps has intensified again. If there is no mistake, the reserve fuel of the manor will be exhausted today. What will the people in the manor do?" Jonathan looked down solemnly, and the eyes of his pupils The shadow of the Airbus 330 is reflected in the picture: "That manor is full of rich people. As long as you can save them, you will definitely get a lot of rewards. Don't the rescue team know?"
Different from domestic ones, many foreign rescue teams are profit-making, and can get corresponding remuneration according to the rescued people.
"Of course they know, otherwise they wouldn't have sent helicopters first and then large passenger planes. According to EASA's notification, the area around the Alps has been classified as a no-fly zone due to heavy snow and air flow. The rescue team took such a big risk Going in, isn’t it for those rewards?” Song Xinyang sighed: “But the reality is that no one can send supplies in.”
"What about the airdrop?" Jonathan asked suddenly.
Song Xinyang shook his head: "This plan has also been proposed by the rescue team. However, if the accuracy is to be ensured, it must be lowered to a sufficiently low altitude. All the previous attempts have shown one thing, whether it is a helicopter or a helicopter. Large fixed-wing aircraft cannot approach the Alps at low altitudes. Therefore, the airdrop method is ineffective."
"Is the communication still open?"
Song Xinyang nodded: "For the time being, it's normal. According to the feedback from the side, all the reserves, including fuel and food, will be consumed by tomorrow at the latest. With their physical fitness and environmental considerations, it is estimated that they can only survive after the supplies are exhausted. Two to three days."
"Two to three days?" Jonathan sighed, "But the meteorological department's forecast is that the blizzard in the Alps is not going to abate."
Now that the materials can't be transported, if the blizzard intensifies later, wouldn't it be even more hopeless.
Song Xinyang also looked down at the Airbus 330 below: "Do you think there is a possibility, let him go over and try, maybe there are still some opportunities."
"What chance is there? The blizzard in the Alps is so strong that it can be manipulated by manpower?" Jonathan shook his head: "Also, I don't think Xu Cang will agree, it's too risky."
"You mentioned it to him?"
Jonathan glanced at Song Xinyang: "No, if you want to say it, you can say it."
Song Xinyang pondered for a moment: "Forget it."
Sure enough, as Jonathan said, the plane returned safely an hour later, and as soon as the plane with a large amount of test data landed, cheers erupted from the dull observation group.
Originally, Luo Luo had prepared a brief celebration ceremony, but in the end it was rejected by Xu Cang, who was afraid of the society.
After getting off the plane, Xu Cang changed into a crisp casual clothes, and when he came out of the locker room, he met Jonathan and Song Xinyang who were waiting outside.
"It seems that the test flight process went smoothly than I expected." Jonathan laughed.
Xu Cang was amazed: "It should be said that the completion of the prototype is better than I expected. I basically did nothing, took off, flew smoothly for an hour, and then returned to the landing. It is the same as the previous 777 test flight. Comfortable, haha."
Xu Cang was a little proud, and he couldn't help being proud that he was indeed the chosen one.Whether it was the test flight of the Boeing 777 or the Trent 1000, it was successfully completed without even a surprise, and it was in a state of winning.
However, the test flight can still be done as little as possible.Luck is luck after all. How can anyone walk by the river without getting their shoes wet?Maybe God felt that he was too unlucky in other flights, so he balanced it a little in the test flight.But I'm afraid that God will be unhappy one day, so it's better to take it easy.
"Although it seems that I can't wait to say this, but I want to ask when the celebration party will start tonight?" Xu Cang asked with a smile while arranging his clothes.
A trace of embarrassment flashed across Jonathan's face: "Xu Cang, something has happened on our side, and it may not be convenient to hold some overly festive events for the time being."
Xu Cang was taken aback, looked Jonathan and Song Xinyang up and down, his brows were all knit together: "Since before the test flight started, your expressions have been like a funeral, sorry, forgive me for being straightforward, but it is the truth. It cannot be held A festive event? Is it really a funeral?"
Although Jonathan has not learned Chinese for a long time, he still understands the meaning of the word funeral.In a sense, they are indeed closer to this state. Although it is not a real funeral, it is already on the way.
Originally, Xu Cang just made a joke because he was in a better mood after the test flight.But looking at the reactions of Jonathan and Song Xinyang, Xu Cang was also stunned. The expressions of the two seemed to be more and more in line with what he said.
"No, what's the problem?" Jonathan's expressions aroused Xu Cang's curiosity. Based on the principle that it's not a big deal to watch the fun, even if you want to join in the fun, you have to figure out what's going on.
At this time, Song Xinyang said: "Xu Cang, I wonder if you can help me with something."
Xu Cang immediately became vigilant: "I only agree to the flight test, and I don't care about the rest."
"No, no, no, the flight test has come to an end. We promised, promised, nothing less. Now it's another matter, about... our CEO." A trace of embarrassment flashed across Song Xinyang's face: "That's right. Maybe you need to save him."
"Ah?" Xu Cang's head was covered with question marks: "What's wrong with him, I remember you said that he went on vacation before, how did he go on vacation to the point of saving his life?"
"That's right. The place he chose for vacation is not very good." Song Xinyang scratched his head with a wonderful expression on his face.
Xu Cang half-closed his eyes: "Where did he go?"
"Alps."
"Alps?" Xu Cang was stunned: "I read the news, isn't there a snowstorm over there? Your CEO has such a unique taste, he followed the snowstorm for vacation."
"No. It was reported that the blizzard was going to stop, but it suddenly started up again." Song Xinyang thought about his words a little: "Because of the blizzard, land travel is no longer possible. However, the airflow over the Alps is too chaotic, and helicopters or large The fixed-wing planes can’t even land. The food and fuel on the holiday estate are in short supply, and the blizzard will continue for a while. If the supplies are not transported up, the people in the manor may not be able to hold on.”
"That's it." Xu Cang probably understood the situation, no wonder Luo Luo's people were crying before the test flight, and there were not many people who came to observe: "Have you tried both helicopters and fixed-wing aircraft?"
"I tried it, but it didn't work."
"Is it possible that the driver's skills are not good?"
Song Xinyang hurriedly said: "The pilots on the rescue team are all very experienced, and some even retired from the army. They can't fall down, which is really impossible for ordinary people, so .”
"So, you want me to go?" Xu Cang pointed to himself: "Is that what you mean?"
After finishing speaking, Xu Cang seemed to have thought of something, and looked at Jonathan: "Before taking off, this is what you wanted to tell me?"
Jonathan was a little embarrassed: "I can't speak."
"Isn't it still open?" Xu Cang pondered for a moment: "Since you said that the pilots of the rescue team have no problem, it means that this matter is indeed very difficult and requires risks."
As a result, Xu Cang hadn't finished talking here, Song Xinyang hurriedly said: "Xu Cang, there are many rich people in the manor this time. As long as you can send the supplies up and help them survive the snowstorm, the reward will be unimaginable."
"Then you didn't say it earlier!" Xu Cang rolled his eyes and waved his hands: "Is there a weather map of the Alps?"
"Ah? Yes, yes!" Song Xinyang didn't expect Xu Cang to agree so simply, and ran away in a hurry. In less than a minute, he came over with a paper cloud map and handed it to Xu Cang: "What happened an hour ago?" .”
Xu Cang took Yuntu and looked at it for a while, but he remained silent.
Song Xinyang waited anxiously: "Xu Cang, is it easy?"
"It's easy!" Xu Cang returned Yuntu directly to Song Xinyang, and stretched his waist: "Let's just hold the funeral, it's really easier."
"What?" Song Xinyang and Jonathan were dumbfounded.
Song Xinyang immediately grabbed Xu Cang's arm: "Xu Cang, can't you do anything?"
Xu Cang sighed: "Look at this cloud map. It's hopeless, just wait for death!"
Ask for a monthly ticket!
(End of this chapter)
In the suburbs of Shanghai, due to the rapid development of Shanghai in recent years, the urban area is constantly expanding.Originally, this place was just a wilderness, but now it is full of buildings.
However, this place is not a living area, but mostly regular factory buildings, such as housing complexes or some entertainment facilities, which are relatively lacking, and the whole area is not popular.
However, there is one area that is more conspicuous in this newly built factory area.Compared with the brand-new decoration painting nearby, the buildings here are low and old, out of tune with the surroundings.
Before the building gate, Zhou Yanping looked at the closed gate with a rather ugly expression.There is a sign on the side of the pillar of the gate, which says Shanghai Xinmu Fruit Industry Co., Ltd., yes, it is the supplier of the fruit in the previous Tiandong Airlines flight catering.
Gu Chen told Zhou Yanping before that Xinmu Fruit Industry is not a purely commercial company, but has a certain charitable nature. If it is not handled properly, it will easily cause public opinion.
Prior to this, Zhou Yanping was thinking of following the contract. If he changed suppliers, he would just change them. At worst, he would just pay liquidated damages.However, since his master had already spoken, Zhou Yanping thought about going there himself, but he was turned away when he came.
About half an hour ago, after Zhou Yanping reported his identity to the guard, he passed in, and then there was nothing else.Zhou Yanping stood at the gate for half an hour.
Looking at the doorman sitting on the small bench, Zhou Yanping was angry and annoyed, he was temperless, half an hour was not enough to leave him here?
Xinmu fruit industry is such a big shelf!
"I said, sir, have you asked?" Zhou Yanping became a little impatient, and asked the guard again: "Lu Zhiming knew I was coming?"
The old man was estimated to be in his 60s, his face was covered with wrinkles, his back was stooped, and his complexion was dark. He looked like an old farmer who had worked in the fields for half his life.
Perhaps he was deaf, the uncle turned sideways: "Who?"
Zhou Yanping only felt a headache: "Lu Zhiming, your boss?"
"Boss, I've said it, I've said it." The doorman waved his hand: "He told you to stand at the door."
Zhou Yanping was startled, two blue veins popped up on his forehead, it was deliberate to co-author Xinmu Guoye.
Although Master Gu Chen had reminded him, Zhou Yanping didn't just accept it. Standing at the door for so long had already worn away his patience.He glanced inside, snorted, and waved back to the secretary: "Let's go."
However, just as he turned around here, there was a joking voice from the side door: "Just stood there for half an hour, Mr. Zhou can't take it anymore?"
Zhou Yanping paused when he heard this, turned around and saw a tall, thin middle-aged man leaning against the side gate fence and looking at him with a sneer.This person was wearing a faded plaid shirt with very common jeans underneath, and the folds of the clothes were obvious, and the hair was messy. The image was really not very flattering.
However, this person is the general manager of Xinmu Fruit Industry, that is, Lu Zhiming mentioned by Zhou Yanping just now.
"Insisting on something meaningful, you're deliberately leaving me alone, and I'm still suffering here, isn't that too unwise?" Zhou Yanping said coldly, "I don't have the habit of finding unpleasant things for myself."
Lu Zhiming said through the side door, "You rich people, you can't bear the slightest bit of anger. You do things as you please, without considering how many people your decisions will affect."
"For example, the change of supplier this time?" Zhou Yanping shrugged: "So, didn't I come here to discuss it, and you don't seem to appreciate it very much."
"Discussion?" Lu Zhiming raised his chin: "Tell me, how do you discuss?"
Zhou Yanping completely turned his body back: "The supplier must be changed, this is the prerequisite. However, in terms of liquidated damages, we will pay an additional 20.00%. The extra liquidated damages are our Tiandong Airline sincerity."
In the final analysis, Zhou Yanping was still thinking that way.Since Gu Chen feels that paying liquidated damages alone is not enough, he should pay more and spend money to eliminate the disaster.
"Sincerity? Hehe." Lu Zhiming almost laughed: "Then I still want to thank you Tiandong Airlines for your great kindness."
Zhou Yanping frowned: "I am acting according to the contract. If I change suppliers, I will pay you liquidated damages, and I will pay more. Isn't that okay? Why, do you think the money is not enough?"
"Money?" Lu Zhiming pushed open the side door: "This company is the livelihood of two fruit farmers in 310. At the beginning, your chairman promised us that Tiandong Airlines would not change fruit suppliers. How can you break your promise now?"
"At the beginning of poverty alleviation, you were asked to grow fruits in Lujia Village. We, Tiandong, shouldered certain social responsibilities and provided you with sales channels. It has been several years. You have done a good job, so you don't have to stare at us. In the market There are so many people who buy fruit, why don’t they supply it at another place.” Zhou Yanping said casually: “Besides, it was the previous chairman who told you this, but it was a verbal promise, not in black and white. In this era, it’s all about the contract. , we are coming up according to the contract."
Hearing that, Lu Zhiming almost fainted on the spot, but soon he restrained his anger and laughed instead: "I just said that you people don't consider our position at all. Change the supply? Surroundings The demand is so much, where can I change the supply? The fruits of this season will be on the market in a few months. Is it to let these fruits rot in the orchard? But there are many households who have lost all their income to grow fruits. You are desperate killed their family."
"I've already paid you compensation." Zhou Yanping also became angry: "According to the contract, we will take care of you wherever you go."
"Compensation? If you make it through this year, what about next year? What about the year after? Giving a man a fish is worse than giving him a fish. Don't Mr. Zhou understand this?"
Zhou Yanping narrowed his eyes: "What? You are relying on us and want us to support you for the rest of your life?"
"I'm just repeating what your chairman said before. It's what he said. Our Lujia Village has gathered the whole village's efforts to grow fruits. Now you want to go back on your word?"
"Damn it!" Zhou Yanping wanted to scold the troublemaker on the spot, but at this time, if he talked nonsense, it would easily lead to conflicts and plans. He has already lost his composure today, and he can't think about things calmly at all.He suppressed the anger in his heart, and raised his hand to stop Lu Zhiming's words: "Whatever you say, anyway, we have done our utmost to pay 20.00% more liquidated damages. For this sake, there is nothing I can do to you. The matter has already passed. It's decided, after this month is over, you don't want to deliver goods to us, and we won't accept them if you deliver them."
Zhou Yanping, who was already on the verge of eruption, waved his hands: "I've finished talking, let's go."
After finishing speaking, Zhou Yanping didn't talk to Lu Zhiming at all, and turned his head to go to the car. Seeing this, the secretary hurried to the front to open the door for Zhou Yanping.
As a result, just as Zhou Yanping was about to get in the car, Lu Zhiming's deep voice came over: "Mr. Zhou, you don't like us little people. But if you don't let us live, we won't let you have a good time."
Zhou Yanping, who was already bored, didn't even look at Lu Zhiming, and didn't answer. He didn't look sideways after getting into the car.Soon, the vehicle started and drove away.
Lu Zhiming looked at Zhou Yanping's car which had gone away, expressionless, and didn't know what he was thinking.
About four and ten minutes later, Zhou Yanping's car had arrived near the working area of Shanghai Airport.Even after such a long time, Zhou Yanping's mood still hasn't calmed down, and he has already scolded Lu Zhiming in his heart that he was bloody.
From Zhou Yanping's point of view, Lu Zhiming is simply making trouble for no reason and is difficult to communicate with.
If it wasn't for Gu Chen saying that he would handle this matter properly, he wouldn't want to pay a single penny more in terms of liquidated damages, at least for now.
"Mr. Zhou, shall we go directly to the base?" asked the secretary sitting in the front passenger seat.
Zhou Yanping was feeling a little irritable, and didn't want to say anything more. He just hummed and planned to take a nap: "It's nothing important, don't call me, I'll squint for a while."
The secretary nodded quickly: "Understood, Mr. Zhou."
Zhou Yanping tidied his clothes a little, and just leaned back when suddenly there was noise in his ears, as if many people were shouting.
"What's the matter?" Zhou Yanping became suspicious. The airport work area is full of airlines and some departmental buildings of the airport. This kind of pure work area rarely has such movements.
However, Zhou Yanping didn't take it too seriously, looked around and continued to squint.
However, within 2 minutes of squinting, I suddenly heard my secretary exclaim: "Mr. Zhou!"
"Huh?" Zhou Yanping was a little unhappy. He was just getting sleepy, so why did he start calling someone: "What's wrong?"
I saw the secretary pointing forward in bewilderment and surprise: "Mr. Zhou, look!"
Zhou Yanping sat up a little bit, looking through the front windshield, he suddenly found that the car was almost at the gate of Muhua headquarters.However, a large number of people gathered at the main entrance of Muhua headquarters, and a huge banner was pulled up in the crowd, which read——Muhua Airlines broke its promise, disregarded the life and death of the fruit farmers, it was inhumane, and the heavens did not allow it.
Around the banner, there were hundreds of people yelling and cursing in unison, which is probably what they heard just now.
Zhou Yanping knew who these people were without even thinking about it. His mood, which had calmed down a bit just now, suddenly tensed up, and his anger shot straight to the top of the sky. He gritted his teeth: "These gangsters."
What made Zhou Yanping feel uneasy was that among the protesting villagers there were a few people carrying cameras. He suddenly felt that something was wrong. They couldn't be reporters.If this is a reporter, things will be a little troublesome.
Zhou Yanping immediately patted the driver in front of him on the shoulder: "Go through the small gate."
To be honest, even if Zhou Yanping didn't say anything, he wouldn't dare to walk through the door.Now, he turned the steering wheel, turned around, and went around to the small door.
About 10 minutes later, Zhou Yanping appeared in the chairman's office.At this moment, Zhou Yanping felt a little uneasy when facing the gloomy Gu Chen.
"Master, this matter."
Gu Chen snorted coldly: "I told you to deal with this matter carefully before, is this the result of your handling?"
"Master, I just went to Xinmu Fruit Industry, and Lu Zhiming is unreasonable." Zhou Yanping was also very helpless.
"Hmph, I have been prepared for a long time." Gu Chen dissatisfied: "You and Lu Zhiming's talks have collapsed, right? You haven't come back yet, our main entrance was blocked by them. I have already prepared for it." .You just broke down the talks over there, and this side notified the door to protest."
Zhou Yanping naturally understands this truth, but the problem is that even if it happens again, he and Lu Zhiming still have to talk to each other, and the two of them can't talk together at all.
"Master, I have already paid 20.00% more liquidated damages, but that guy Lu Zhiming doesn't want it, what can I do?" In front of Gu Chen, Zhou Yanping was not so restrained, and directly spread his hands: "Even if we talk about another hundred This time, we should talk about Beng, we still have to talk about Beng."
Facing his apprentice and successor, Gu Chen couldn't be too critical: "They don't want money, they want a way to survive, a way to survive."
"I don't know?" Zhou Yanping got angry when he mentioned this: "The Poverty Alleviation Office came to us and told us about it. We are willing to accept their fruits out of social responsibility. The purchase price is higher than the market standard price. Yicheng, isn’t that right? After so many years, he didn’t remember our kindness to help him, but instead relied on us. What’s the matter? Tiandong is a state-owned enterprise and has social responsibilities, but it’s not Charities, you can't do that."
Seeing Zhou Yanping's blushing and thick neck, Gu Chen pressed his hands: "Don't complain, those people's point of view is that Mr. Li said before that he would not change suppliers, and if we did this, it would be a breach of trust. "
"Oh, the ex-chairman is just talking about the scene, just talking, but can you still take it seriously?" Zhou Yanping also has a big head.It's not because of anything else, because the former chairman of Tiandong Airlines really said this, and it was public.
The main reason is that the case of collectively planting fruits in Lujia Village to get rid of poverty was used as a model for publicity, and Tiandong Airlines made outstanding contributions in it.At the later commendation meeting for poverty alleviation, the former chairman of Tiandong Airlines was also slammed, it was a hype, even the chairman of Tiandong Airlines was praised, and he said that sentence when he was excited talk.
In the end, it was so hard to die, the representative of Lujia Village was there at the poverty alleviation commendation meeting, so they listened to it, and when they passed it on later, it was remembered.
Gu Chen was also a little helpless. He used to work under Chairman Li, so he couldn't talk about his old boss.Now that this matter is so ugly, the former chairman is the most responsible.
"Xinmu Fruit Industry is indeed regarded as a model for poverty alleviation. We rudely cut off cooperation with it, which is easy to lose in public opinion. Coupled with what Mr. Li said back then, things are not easy to handle." While Gu Chen was speaking, he looked at Zhou Yanping with a different meaning in his eyes.
Who is Zhou Yanping? With a pair of eyes, he can basically guess: "Master, don't you want to go back on the agreement you made with Xu Cang?"
"I'm not going back on my word. This matter was originally set up to help Xu Cang. Now that there is such a big problem, he should think of a way."
"He's in England now, so there's nothing to talk to him about." Zhou Yanping said speechlessly, "Besides, I can't open my mouth about this kind of thing."
"Is there anything you can't talk about?"
Zhou Yanping became a little anxious: "Master, you still don't understand. Xu Cang is a man who values love and righteousness. It seems that we helped him for nothing, but he will repay us afterwards, and it will only make him worse." Much. We settled the matter for him, and he remembered."
"Settling it, how can it be settled?" Gu Chen was also a little unhappy: "To be honest, this matter is simple and simple. Whether it is growing fruit or something else, there is only one appeal of those hundreds of people, and that is A long-term and stable means of earning a living. As long as this matter is settled, there will be no obstacle to changing suppliers. But how do you solve the livelihood problem of hundreds of people? It can be suppressed, but when the back gets bigger and bigger, it will be out of control. At that time, we will be responsible when the higher-ups intervene."
Gu Chen also thought about Zhou Yanping's feelings, and his tone was a little more relaxed: "You change your mind. Since you agree with Xu Cang's ability so much, it is normal for friends to make suggestions. When he returns to China, what can I do to ask him to add up? He made an idea, let's handle the matter, so it's okay for the head office?"
Zhou Yanping thought for a while: "This is also fine."
Gu Chen was also speechless, his disciple's elbow was a little obvious.Not thinking about other things in his mind, he decided to do what he promised Xu Cang.
"Well, don't show up today either. You have an appointment with a few media outlets tonight, and you have a meal with them in person to suppress this matter temporarily." Gu Chen instructed: "Pay attention to your tone."
Zhou Yanping knew that this was necessary. If he didn't have a meal with the media and communicated with the media in advance, the matter would easily escalate to the point of uncontrollable.No matter what, at least it must be pressed until Xu Cang returns home.
Rolls-Royce headquarters test flight apron in Derbyshire, UK.
The Airbus 1000 equipped with the Trent 330 prototype engine was parked quietly on the tarmac, and there were not many people around.Although many people know that Xu Cang and Luo Luo have a cooperation in test flight, but few people know when exactly.Moreover, this test flight was conducted in secret. Except for a very few executives from the Rolls-Royce power department, the rest of the participants were basically from the technical department. All of these people signed a non-disclosure agreement. The situation will remain silent.
Of course, if the test flight is a complete success, Luo Luo will naturally announce it with great fanfare.This is the so-called report good news but not bad news.
In the cockpit of the Airbus 330, Xu Cang wore a special silver suit. According to Jonathan, the fabric of the suit is very precious. It is not only fire-resistant and waterproof, but also has excellent thermal performance and good air permeability. It is the material used in spacesuits.
Due to the fact that some unpredictable situations may occur during the test flight, Luo Luo is quite careful in protecting Xu Cang.
This time Xu Cang was sitting on the left seat, and there was a white man on the right seat who matched with Xu Cang.
In order to match with Xu Cang, Luo Luo chose a partner who could speak Chinese, but for some reason, this person hadn't spoken to Xu Cang since he took his seat, which made Xu Cang wonder if Luo Luo was lying to him. People don't know Chinese at all.
In addition to the matching flight crew, there is an engineer behind.
This person does not participate in the flight, only for debugging and recording flight data.
The cabin of this Airbus 330 has been remodeled, and a large number of monitoring equipment and data receiving and storage equipment are installed in it.Some flight data can be transmitted back to the ground in real time, but some cannot. They can only be stored in the self-equipped instruments on the aircraft.
The monitoring and storage equipment alone is extremely complicated, not to mention whether Xu Cang has the energy to take care of these things, even if he has, he can't figure it out, so he can only send another person to watch.
However, no matter it was the pilot who matched Xu Cang in the right seat, or the engineer behind him, they were always stern, unable to understand their emotions.However, from his intuition, Xu Cang felt that these two seemed not so happy.
Xu Cang can fly the Airbus 330. The Airbus plane is easier to fly. As long as you understand its working logic, it is at least easier to fly than the Boeing. This is why more and more people like the Airbus. Not Boeing.
Xu Cang prepared the plane there, and Jonathan explained some things to Xu Cang before leaving: "After the plane starts up, put on the oxygen mask immediately. The oxygen system of this plane has been specially modified and can supply Two hours of pure oxygen. In addition, there is a parachute in the safety bag behind the seat. The usage was mentioned yesterday, but we cannot guarantee the survival rate of the parachute once it is used.”
"Life and death?" Xu Cang answered.
Jonathan was silent for a moment, and finally nodded: "Remember, if you want to skydive, depressurize the plane first, otherwise you won't be able to open the hatch."
Xu Cang touched the clothes on his body: "So this clothes is also to keep me from freezing to death when skydiving?"
At an altitude of tens of thousands of feet, the temperature can be as low as minus 40 degrees. If the clothing is not good at keeping warm, even if you don’t freeze to death on the spot, you may be disabled.
"There are considerations in this regard." Jonathan admitted honestly: "Xu Cang, there is not much content in this test flight. If it goes well, it will be over in an hour."
Xu Cang pursed his lips. Of course, it is also possible that his life will end in an hour.
However, Xu Cang knew that the Trent 1000 was not a failed product. Even though this prototype may not be so perfect, at least there is no problem in the general direction. Even if there are some faults, the situation should not be too serious, so Xu Cang Still optimistic.
Compared with the test flight itself, Xu Cang glanced back at Jonathan: "You look very anxious, uncontrollable. Besides, not only you, many people seem to be like this, and there are too few people who came to observe this time No, it's not normal."
No matter how you say it, the Trent 1000 means a lot to Rollo.Even if we don't say that everyone will come, it will definitely not be like the current scene where there are few people.When Xu Cang came over just now, he found that there were only two managers here, and these two were dignified and preoccupied, obviously something went wrong.
Jonathan was stunned for a moment: "Test flight, it's normal to be stressed."
"No, it's not normal, there must be something else."
Jonathan was silent for a while: "However, it does not affect the test flight."
"Oh?" Xu Cang didn't expect Jonathan to admit it directly: "That's fine, I don't care about Luo Luo's affairs, as long as the test flight goes on normally, and don't forget the agreement between us."
"Xu Cang." Jonathan suddenly raised his voice: "If."
Halfway through speaking, Jonathan stopped talking again, and immediately waved his hand: "Forget it, it's okay."
This has basically written something on his face.
However, as Xu Cang said, he didn't care about Luo Luo's affairs.Anyway, it shouldn't be that Luo Luo went bankrupt, so Xu Cang has no interest at all.Since Jonathan didn't say anything at the end, Xu Cang didn't bother to ask any more.
"I'll see you in an hour." Jonathan said in a deep voice, "Good luck."
About 5 minutes later, Jonathan appeared on the tower of the test airport.There, Song Xinyang was worried. Seeing Jonathan approaching, he immediately went up to meet him: "The large plane of the rescue team couldn't land, and it almost crashed because of the air current. Now the rescue team has basically given up airlifting supplies."
"However, the blizzard in the Alps has intensified again. If there is no mistake, the reserve fuel of the manor will be exhausted today. What will the people in the manor do?" Jonathan looked down solemnly, and the eyes of his pupils The shadow of the Airbus 330 is reflected in the picture: "That manor is full of rich people. As long as you can save them, you will definitely get a lot of rewards. Don't the rescue team know?"
Different from domestic ones, many foreign rescue teams are profit-making, and can get corresponding remuneration according to the rescued people.
"Of course they know, otherwise they wouldn't have sent helicopters first and then large passenger planes. According to EASA's notification, the area around the Alps has been classified as a no-fly zone due to heavy snow and air flow. The rescue team took such a big risk Going in, isn’t it for those rewards?” Song Xinyang sighed: “But the reality is that no one can send supplies in.”
"What about the airdrop?" Jonathan asked suddenly.
Song Xinyang shook his head: "This plan has also been proposed by the rescue team. However, if the accuracy is to be ensured, it must be lowered to a sufficiently low altitude. All the previous attempts have shown one thing, whether it is a helicopter or a helicopter. Large fixed-wing aircraft cannot approach the Alps at low altitudes. Therefore, the airdrop method is ineffective."
"Is the communication still open?"
Song Xinyang nodded: "For the time being, it's normal. According to the feedback from the side, all the reserves, including fuel and food, will be consumed by tomorrow at the latest. With their physical fitness and environmental considerations, it is estimated that they can only survive after the supplies are exhausted. Two to three days."
"Two to three days?" Jonathan sighed, "But the meteorological department's forecast is that the blizzard in the Alps is not going to abate."
Now that the materials can't be transported, if the blizzard intensifies later, wouldn't it be even more hopeless.
Song Xinyang also looked down at the Airbus 330 below: "Do you think there is a possibility, let him go over and try, maybe there are still some opportunities."
"What chance is there? The blizzard in the Alps is so strong that it can be manipulated by manpower?" Jonathan shook his head: "Also, I don't think Xu Cang will agree, it's too risky."
"You mentioned it to him?"
Jonathan glanced at Song Xinyang: "No, if you want to say it, you can say it."
Song Xinyang pondered for a moment: "Forget it."
Sure enough, as Jonathan said, the plane returned safely an hour later, and as soon as the plane with a large amount of test data landed, cheers erupted from the dull observation group.
Originally, Luo Luo had prepared a brief celebration ceremony, but in the end it was rejected by Xu Cang, who was afraid of the society.
After getting off the plane, Xu Cang changed into a crisp casual clothes, and when he came out of the locker room, he met Jonathan and Song Xinyang who were waiting outside.
"It seems that the test flight process went smoothly than I expected." Jonathan laughed.
Xu Cang was amazed: "It should be said that the completion of the prototype is better than I expected. I basically did nothing, took off, flew smoothly for an hour, and then returned to the landing. It is the same as the previous 777 test flight. Comfortable, haha."
Xu Cang was a little proud, and he couldn't help being proud that he was indeed the chosen one.Whether it was the test flight of the Boeing 777 or the Trent 1000, it was successfully completed without even a surprise, and it was in a state of winning.
However, the test flight can still be done as little as possible.Luck is luck after all. How can anyone walk by the river without getting their shoes wet?Maybe God felt that he was too unlucky in other flights, so he balanced it a little in the test flight.But I'm afraid that God will be unhappy one day, so it's better to take it easy.
"Although it seems that I can't wait to say this, but I want to ask when the celebration party will start tonight?" Xu Cang asked with a smile while arranging his clothes.
A trace of embarrassment flashed across Jonathan's face: "Xu Cang, something has happened on our side, and it may not be convenient to hold some overly festive events for the time being."
Xu Cang was taken aback, looked Jonathan and Song Xinyang up and down, his brows were all knit together: "Since before the test flight started, your expressions have been like a funeral, sorry, forgive me for being straightforward, but it is the truth. It cannot be held A festive event? Is it really a funeral?"
Although Jonathan has not learned Chinese for a long time, he still understands the meaning of the word funeral.In a sense, they are indeed closer to this state. Although it is not a real funeral, it is already on the way.
Originally, Xu Cang just made a joke because he was in a better mood after the test flight.But looking at the reactions of Jonathan and Song Xinyang, Xu Cang was also stunned. The expressions of the two seemed to be more and more in line with what he said.
"No, what's the problem?" Jonathan's expressions aroused Xu Cang's curiosity. Based on the principle that it's not a big deal to watch the fun, even if you want to join in the fun, you have to figure out what's going on.
At this time, Song Xinyang said: "Xu Cang, I wonder if you can help me with something."
Xu Cang immediately became vigilant: "I only agree to the flight test, and I don't care about the rest."
"No, no, no, the flight test has come to an end. We promised, promised, nothing less. Now it's another matter, about... our CEO." A trace of embarrassment flashed across Song Xinyang's face: "That's right. Maybe you need to save him."
"Ah?" Xu Cang's head was covered with question marks: "What's wrong with him, I remember you said that he went on vacation before, how did he go on vacation to the point of saving his life?"
"That's right. The place he chose for vacation is not very good." Song Xinyang scratched his head with a wonderful expression on his face.
Xu Cang half-closed his eyes: "Where did he go?"
"Alps."
"Alps?" Xu Cang was stunned: "I read the news, isn't there a snowstorm over there? Your CEO has such a unique taste, he followed the snowstorm for vacation."
"No. It was reported that the blizzard was going to stop, but it suddenly started up again." Song Xinyang thought about his words a little: "Because of the blizzard, land travel is no longer possible. However, the airflow over the Alps is too chaotic, and helicopters or large The fixed-wing planes can’t even land. The food and fuel on the holiday estate are in short supply, and the blizzard will continue for a while. If the supplies are not transported up, the people in the manor may not be able to hold on.”
"That's it." Xu Cang probably understood the situation, no wonder Luo Luo's people were crying before the test flight, and there were not many people who came to observe: "Have you tried both helicopters and fixed-wing aircraft?"
"I tried it, but it didn't work."
"Is it possible that the driver's skills are not good?"
Song Xinyang hurriedly said: "The pilots on the rescue team are all very experienced, and some even retired from the army. They can't fall down, which is really impossible for ordinary people, so .”
"So, you want me to go?" Xu Cang pointed to himself: "Is that what you mean?"
After finishing speaking, Xu Cang seemed to have thought of something, and looked at Jonathan: "Before taking off, this is what you wanted to tell me?"
Jonathan was a little embarrassed: "I can't speak."
"Isn't it still open?" Xu Cang pondered for a moment: "Since you said that the pilots of the rescue team have no problem, it means that this matter is indeed very difficult and requires risks."
As a result, Xu Cang hadn't finished talking here, Song Xinyang hurriedly said: "Xu Cang, there are many rich people in the manor this time. As long as you can send the supplies up and help them survive the snowstorm, the reward will be unimaginable."
"Then you didn't say it earlier!" Xu Cang rolled his eyes and waved his hands: "Is there a weather map of the Alps?"
"Ah? Yes, yes!" Song Xinyang didn't expect Xu Cang to agree so simply, and ran away in a hurry. In less than a minute, he came over with a paper cloud map and handed it to Xu Cang: "What happened an hour ago?" .”
Xu Cang took Yuntu and looked at it for a while, but he remained silent.
Song Xinyang waited anxiously: "Xu Cang, is it easy?"
"It's easy!" Xu Cang returned Yuntu directly to Song Xinyang, and stretched his waist: "Let's just hold the funeral, it's really easier."
"What?" Song Xinyang and Jonathan were dumbfounded.
Song Xinyang immediately grabbed Xu Cang's arm: "Xu Cang, can't you do anything?"
Xu Cang sighed: "Look at this cloud map. It's hopeless, just wait for death!"
