Return to 2000: Captain of the Great Powers

Chapter 350 Qatar Airways Honorary Captain!
Xu Mingjian's flying talent was indeed beyond Xu Cang's expectations, just like Xia Shuyue's flying talent was beyond Xu Cang's expectations.

There is a saying in the world that the father of the tiger and the son of the dog, how come Xu Mingjian became the father of the dog and the son of the tiger?

However, Xu Cang is still willing to give Xu Mingjian some extra opportunities.If the extra practice time still can't make Xu Mingjian make a breakthrough, then Xu Mingjian can only withdraw from training, after all, this kind of thing can't be done by force.

Xia Shuyue did not go back to Erhai Lake with Qin Xin's car, she wanted to drive back the car borrowed from the convoy, so the three of them still divided into two cars, just like when they came here.

When they first came here, Xu Cang and Qin Xin were talking and laughing, but when they went back, Qin Xin didn't say a word, which made Xu Cang afraid to speak.

Fortunately, Yanshan Mountain is not too far from Erhai Lake, after Xu Cang slept in the car, he was almost there.

As soon as he returned to the base, Yi Feng came to meet him. On the way, Yi Feng called to ask someone. It seemed that something was urgent.

As soon as Xu Cang got out of the car, Yi Feng immediately approached, regardless of Qin Xin or Xia Shuyue, and said directly: "Cui Xiangdao has been arrested."

"Oh?" Xu Cang was a little surprised: "Is he so easy to deceive?"

Yi Feng also laughed: "When some people are under pressure, their brains will be unclear, for example, they will easily trust people. However, he has been working with Director Jin for so many years, so it is normal to be less vigilant."

Just as Yi Feng finished speaking, Xia Shuyue in the distance made a gesture to Xu Cang, indicating that she would leave first.There is no place for her to participate in this kind of company management decision-making, so it is better to leave with some understanding.

Xu Cang nodded, and continued to talk about the matter with Yi Feng: "Cui Xiangdao shouldn't be able to get it out, right?"

"This time, people got all the stolen goods, and the reality is very stressful. Anyway, there is no way to do it for a while." Yi Feng said while walking: "But I haven't seen the news yet. It seems that Korean Air or Hando Group Even if law enforcement agencies cannot be affected, it is still possible to suppress media public opinion, and strive to minimize the impact of this matter."

The arrest of the president of a listed company, such a big event will greatly affect the confidence of investors, and it will easily cause an avalanche of the stock market.Blocking news is a relatively common way to deal with it, and it seems that Korean Air is doing well.

Xu Cang sighed: "It is said that chaebols have penetrated into every aspect of South Korea. This is a bit exaggerated, but there is not much exaggeration. It is really amazing that no news of such a big matter has been leaked."

Xu Cang and Yi Feng were in front, Qin Xin followed, and the three entered the base building.Yi Feng patted Xu Cang's shoulder: "Let's go to the reception room."

"The reception room?" Xu Cang was taken aback, "What are you doing in the reception room?"

"Watching TV." Yi Feng said with a smile: "This time Cui Xiangdao's matter is worse than what we expected, but if the east is not bright and the west is bright, there are still some other gains."

While speaking, the three of them entered the reception room.

At this time, there was no outsider visiting, and the entire reception room was deserted, and the hanging TV was turned off.

Yi Feng found the remote control, looked at the watch, then turned on the TV, and tuned to the international news channel.Soon, the words "Minzhuang Air Disaster Press Conference" came into view on the screen.

Xu Cang had already sat down at this time, looking at the TV screen: "Can't you hide it?"

"I can't hide it anymore." Yi Feng pointed at the TV screen: "I've been talking for a while, and it's almost over. Let me tell you about the previous content. The South Korean Civil Aviation Administration ruled that the cause of the Minzhuang air crash was the crew pilot. He takes full responsibility for his mishandling."

Xu Cang knew the truth about the Minzhuang air crash, so he was not surprised by the verdict.

As Yi Feng said, the press conference was coming to an end, and the spokesperson above was just talking about mourning the victims, and there was really nothing to see.

Yi Feng sat next to Xu Cang: "I have already mentioned this matter to Lu Yao, what he means is that since there is an official ruling from the Civil Aviation Administration of Korea, then the compensation case for the Minzhuang air accident is very sure. In the near future, he will go to South Korea to negotiate privately with Korean Air."

Lu Yao is the legal advisor of Spring Airlines. He is very capable. He will handle almost all legal matters.Things like the purchase of land in Jeju Island and the establishment of a tourism company in Jeju Island were handled by him, and they were all done well.

In view of his excellent performance, the lawsuit of the Minzhuang air accident was also handed over to him.

Xu Cang took advantage of the Minzhuang air crash to attack Korean Air. In return, he naturally wanted to seek more compensation for the families of the victims and express his heart.

"Since you're going to Korea, let's do another thing along the way."

Yi Feng frowned: "Are you a little anxious now?"

"Enough, it's been long enough." Xu Cang said solemnly: "The Cangqing Tourism Company in Jeju Island has been registered, and we already have the main body that can initiate the acquisition of Asiana Airlines. Now the Minzhuang Air Disaster is enough to stumble Korean Air, it's time for us to issue an official acquisition of Asiana Airlines."

"Xu Cang, in fact, we have already proposed the acquisition intention to Asiana Airlines in the name of Cangqing Tourism, but they directly rejected it." Yi Feng was a little worried: "Should we wait for the situation to become clearer?"

"We can't wait any longer. The redevelopment of the Seoul metropolitan area is about to start. We must complete the acquisition of Asiana Airlines to obtain the game qualification to participate in the Seoul development project." Xu Cang turned to look at Yi Feng: "You go there yourself Let’s take a trip to South Korea and go with Lu Yao. For me, the situation is clear enough now. The Minzhuang air crash has been settled, and there is no possibility of any change. If Korean Air still has reason, then It’s time to retreat.”

"Then what if they don't want to get out of trouble?"

"Then interrupt their outstretched hands." Xu Cang snorted heavily: "Handao Group's monopoly evidence is used as a hole card, and if it can't be released, it can't be released, so as not to become a target of public criticism in the Korean business community. South Korea does business. But if Korean Air doesn’t know what to do, then it’s going to go straight to its parent company.”

"However, even if Korean Air does not participate in the acquisition, Asiana Airlines may not be willing to accept our acquisition. After all, our acquisition price is much lower than that of Korean Air."

Now the market value of Asiana Airlines is only one-fifth of what it was before the crash, and Korean Air is willing to buy Asiana Airlines at a discount of half, that is, half of the market value before the crash.And Xu Cang's intended price is a quarter, which is half of the price of Korean Air.

"Before this matter was mainly handled by Xiao Lingyun, so he was more aware of my plans. However, you should also know that I have many things to do and I am not sure."

Yi Feng thought for a while: "I know probably, you want to collect 50.00% of the shares held by the major shareholders of Asiana Airlines to complete the control of Asiana Airlines. However, if Korean Air withdraws from the acquisition, If it is not guaranteed, other capital will participate, and Asiana Airlines may not necessarily accept our acquisition proposal.”

"Yes, there is such a possibility. Therefore, I want to prevent this possibility from happening." Xu Cang said: "Asian Airlines China has a large number of aircraft using Rolls-Royce engines. If Asiana Airlines accepts acquisitions from other parties, they will Afterwards, the price of Rolls-Royce engines will be increased by [-]%. Of course, if you are willing to accept our acquisition, I can restore the market value of Asiana to its original position within two years. .”

"What!" Yi Feng was so surprised that he stood up all of a sudden: "Xu Cang, the market value of Asiana Airlines is now only one-fifth of its original value. It is too difficult to restore the market value to its original position in two years. Bar?"

Xu Cang pondered for a moment: "I am somewhat sure. Asiana Airlines is a very important chess piece, and time is not on my side. Asiana Airlines has already wasted too much time on this matter. If it is further developed, then Asiana Airlines’ move will be quite mediocre.”

"Redevelopment of the Seoul metropolitan area?" Yi Feng paced back and forth: "After the development of the new five towns, the Seoul metropolitan area can expand further. Is there still room for the land value in Seoul to rise?"

Xu Cang smiled and said, "Yes, and it's very big."

Just kidding, real estate in Seoul is famous even in the world.However, Xu Cang did not catch up with the new five-town plan and missed the first wave of outbreaks in the Seoul metropolitan area. This time he must not miss it.In any case, Xu Cang is an outsider, so some things are not easy to handle without taking advantage of him.

Xu Cang has always been a person who maximizes his interests. It has been a big deal for a small Asiana Airlines to plan for so long.Entering the capital game in the Seoul metropolitan area is Xu Cang's ultimate goal.

Yi Feng looked at Xu Cang with a suspicious expression on his face.

No way, in this era, some concepts have not yet been established, such as the financial attributes of real estate.Therefore, Yi Feng's imagination for things in the Seoul metropolitan area is not enough.

On the contrary, Xu Cang had mentioned this matter to Qin Yi and Xiao Lingyun.Qin Yi and Xiao Lingyun were more able to accept Xu Cang's ideas.

Qin Yi is in the tourism business and is naturally sensitive to land resources.And Xiao Lingyun is engaged in finance, so naturally his imagination in this area is beyond imagination.

After waiting for a long time, Yi Feng still seemed hesitant, and Xu Cang didn't intend to convince Yi Feng at this time, some things need time to prove.

"Why, are you still thinking about it?"

Yi Feng rubbed his temples: "I'm not in a related field, maybe my ability to expand my mind is relatively weak. However, it doesn't matter. It's fine for you to decide, and I can finish it. However, there is one thing that I care more about. You It is said that the market value of Asiana Airlines can be restored to its original position within two years. In the long run, it is naturally an excellent choice. The key is, what if you can’t do it? They can’t give you this opportunity for no reason .”

"Then sign the VAM agreement." Xu Cang sighed: "If within two years, I can return Asiana Airlines to its original position. Then buy it at a quarter of the price. If I fail to do so, then Buy at original price."

"Xu Cang, you..." Yi Feng's face changed drastically: "Isn't this group of people from Asiana Airlines sure to make money?"

If Xu Cang revived Asiana Airlines, then those major shareholders of Asiana Airlines would naturally wish for it.Even if they weren't saved, Xu Cang didn't lose much by buying half of their shares at the original price.Moreover, Xu Cang will take over the mess of Asiana Airlines, why not?
"Which thing in the world can take advantage of?" Xu Cang seemed to be sure of winning: "Yi Feng, it's fine, as long as Asiana Airlines is taken down, everything will be more rewarding."

Yi Feng sat down again: "If you can put forward such a condition, then there is no need to spend any thought on Korean Air, they will definitely agree to such a condition."

"That's not necessarily true." Xu Cang seemed to be a little worried: "Our ownership of Asiana Airlines is different from that of Korean Air. Within a reasonable range of consideration, after the accident of Asiana Airlines, there must be many executives." It is estimated that a lot of content has been discussed with Korean Air. As a condition, after Korean Air takes over, most of the people have what they used to be, and what they will do in the future. But we are different, we are in charge Asiana Airlines, what their previous positions are, the future may be uncertain. In addition, even if the gambling agreement is signed, there are actually variables in what will happen in two years. Instead of betting the future on me, maybe There are still many people who prefer to believe in Korean Air.”

Yi Feng is also in business, Xu Cang basically understands what he said.

"Okay, I'll make preparations and go to Korea."

This matter has basically been explained clearly, and Yi Feng feels that his burden is still a bit heavy.

"Yi Feng, if you leave, what will happen here?" At this moment, Qin Xin, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke.

Xu Cang and Yi Feng turned their heads to look at Qin Xin at the same time, Xu Cang was actually worried about this, but the matter of Asiana Airlines was a big one, and only those he trusted the most could go there, and Yi Feng was indeed a good one. choose.

Of course, Spring Airlines is different now.The development of the aviation business is not bad, but other businesses are expanding extremely rapidly, and sometimes it is really difficult to manage without Yifeng in charge of the overall situation.

"Recently." Yi Feng was about to say that there is nothing serious about it recently, but he really couldn't say such words against his will, so he changed the subject: "I will deal with the Asiana Airlines matter as soon as possible."

"This is the center, you are Xu Cang's best helper, there is no need to go to Korea for this matter." Qin Xin stood up: "Xu Cang, let me go."

"You?" Xu Cang was stunned for a moment: "Are you going to Korea?"

"Why, can't you?" Qin Xin asked back.

Xu Cang and Yi Feng looked at each other, and after a while, they turned serious: "Are you sure?"

Qin Xin nodded heavily: "I'm sure."

"Qin Xin, you..." Xu Cang's eyes flashed with embarrassment, but he finally said, "Go."

Qin Xin hummed: "Then I'll go get ready."

After finishing speaking, he left the reception room directly.

When he reached the door, Xu Cang called out, "Are you okay?"

Qin Xin stopped, turned her head and smiled softly at Xu Cang: "What can I do?"

"Huh? Oh."

After Qin Xin finished speaking, she turned around and disappeared from Xu Cang's vision.

After Qin Xin left, Yi Feng came over and said, "Why do I feel something is wrong?"

"You feel it too?" Xu Cang scratched his head, "What's wrong?"

"You made her angry?"

Xu Cang clicked his tongue: "No, why didn't I do it?"

Just as Xu Cang was thinking hard, his cell phone rang suddenly, and Xu Cang picked it up, "It's me!"

Not long after, Xu Cang's expression changed slightly: "Why is someone from Qatar Airways looking for me?"

With a hint of doubt, Xu Cang's figure appeared in the company's conference room.As soon as he entered, he saw a middle-aged man with a beard sitting inside.Different from his impression of Middle Eastern attire, this set of close-fitting double-breasted Italian suit looks extremely decent and fashionable.

When the middle-aged man saw Xu Cang coming in, he was probably surprised by Xu Cang's youth, got up slightly, and asked in an uncertain tone: "Mr. Xu Cang?"

This man's Chinese accent is very authentic, but it feels a bit inconsistent with his appearance.

"Yes, I'm Xu Cang." Xu Cang shook hands with him, and sat across from him: "You are?"

"Ahmed ibn Adham Ahmed ibn Adham Ahmed ibn Adham."

Xu Cang was stunned by the long list of names: "That."

The middle-aged man laughed loudly: "You can call me Ahmed directly."

"Okay, Ahmed." Xu Cang stroked it clearly: "Are you from Qatar Airways?"

"correct."

"Then what's the matter with me?"

"It's like this. My boss's friend introduced Mr. Xu Cang's deeds to him. My boss admires Mr. Xu Cang's flying skills very much. If Mr. Xu Cang is willing to be a private jet pilot, my boss will be very happy Yes." Ahmed said: "If Mr. Xu is willing, Qatar Airways is willing to hire Xu Cang as our honorary captain."

"Hiring?" Xu Cang was stunned for a moment, "But I'm not interested in working for others."

"No, no, Mr. Xu misunderstood." Ahmed laughed and said, "You were introduced by the boss's friend, and he spoke highly of Mr. Xu. You are a friend of our boss's friend, how could it be an employment relationship? This is just one time. Cooperation. Our boss’s private jet doesn’t fly many times, and Mr. Xu Cang won’t be bothered every time, and no one will ask you as an employee. Cooperation, this is a It’s just cooperation. Of course, our boss is sincere about cooperation.”

As he said that, Ahmed took out a check with a name already signed on it, but Xu Cang didn't understand it.

"This check is from a Swiss bank, and you can exchange it at any Swiss bank in the world. Our boss has already signed on it, and Mr. Xu Cang only needs to write a number to take effect." Ahmed handed the check directly to Xu Cang, and a gold pen was handed over at the same time: "Mr. Xu, you can do what you want."

Although Xu Cang also knew that Qatar Airways was a rich airline, but it was too exaggerated to spend so much money, and he just asked him to fill in random numbers on the check.

Even Xu Cang was different from the past, but this was the first time he saw such a battle.

The name of a local tyrant in the Middle East is really shocking.

Looking at the check, Xu Cang suddenly raised his head and asked, "Who is that friend of your boss's?"

Xu Cang was curious, who introduced himself to the local tycoon in the Middle East.

Ahmed hesitated, but finally said, "It's Mr. Rosefield."

"Rosfield Capet?"

"Exactly!" Ahmed nodded: "Mr. Rosefield himself is also a flying enthusiast. He yearned for Mr. Xu Cang's technology, and he was full of praise in front of our boss, so our boss sent me here. one trip."

In fact, Xu Cang probably guessed it, he can only say that the upper class circle is only so big.

"Mr. Xu Cang, there shouldn't be anything to hesitate about, right?" Ahmed was a little puzzled: "We won't give you any restrictions, we just need to send our boss from one place to another at certain times. I can guarantee that this kind of thing will not happen more than three times in a year. This is the most conservative estimate, and it may not happen once a year."

"Like the snow-capped Alps?" Xu Cang asked suddenly.

Ahmed's expression was suffocated: "That may be more extreme."

"That's not ruled out, is it?" Xu Cang said with a smile.

This time, Ahmed stopped talking.

Xu Cang picked up the gold pen, raised his gaze, and looked at Ahmed: "Is it okay to ask you something?"

Ahmed was taken aback, but he still said friendlyly: "Mr. Xu, but it's okay to say."

"You've booked an A380 with Qatar Airways, haven't you?"

Ahmed nodded: "Yes, we are the largest customer of the A380."

"The biggest customer?" Xu Cang narrowed his eyes instantly: "Has Airbus notified you of the postponement of delivery recently?"
