Return to 2000: Captain of the Great Powers

Chapter 384 The four poles have been decided, charge Rongfu Airport!
That night, both Xu Cang and Deng Wenjia drank a lot of wine, Deng Wenjia opened a room in a downtown hotel, and Xu Cang went back to the airport.

The next morning, Xu Cang was woken up in his sleep. It was the leader of the Southwest Bureau who came to investigate.

After Jian Chuan asked the captain of the flight, he still had to come to Chun Xia's headquarters to see the situation.

When Xu Cang heard that the leader of the Southwest Bureau had come, he hurriedly took a shower and changed his clothes, but he still smelled of alcohol when he walked out, which made Xu Cang a little helpless.

In the meeting room, as soon as Xu Cang came in, there was still a faint smell of alcohol in the air, which made the leader of the Southwest Bureau frown.

"We approved you to come back early, and the co-author is for you to come back for a drink?" The leader of the Southwest Bureau waited for Xu Cang to sit down, and gave Xu Cang a hard look.

Xu Cang knew he was wrong, and smiled apologetically: "I don't usually drink alcohol, but there are some things, I'm laughing at you."

In the meeting room, there were Shi Qi, the supervisor of the Feibiao Center, Lu Jinghua, the vice president of operations, and Qin Xin, the nominal boss of the company.

In fact, under normal circumstances, such technical issues do not require the participation of administrative personnel.However, the air traffic conflict in Xianchi had a greater impact, so Qin Xin felt it was necessary to come over.Even if you don't speak, you always have to put your attitude right.

The leader of the Southwest Bureau pointed to Xu Cang, hating iron for being weak: "You, pay attention a little bit, how many people are watching."

"I know, I know." Xu Cang nodded hurriedly, with a very respectful attitude.

The leader of the Southwest Bureau is a middle-aged man in his 50s. Xu Cang has no impression of him, but he doesn't seem to be targeting Spring and Summer Airlines, which makes Xu Cang heave a sigh of relief.

Generally speaking, the General Administration will only provide guidance on an unsafe incident, and will not intervene too directly. The specific handling process is basically completed by the local administration, and even the disposal opinions are reported by the regional administration. .

Regardless of the General Administration's order to investigate Spring and Summer Airlines, this does not represent the final opinion on how to deal with it. It is completely possible to continue to increase the amount, and the amount of this increase is in the hands of the Regional Administration.

An all-round investigation made Xu Cang feel dizzy. If the Southwest Bureau added additional punishment measures, Chunxia Airlines would be really uncomfortable.

As soon as Xu Cang sat down here, the leader of the Southwest Bureau knocked on the table: "Xu Cang, I want to criticize you. Although the issue of uniforms is not a principle, it is related to the image of the aviation industry. Dress casually. What's the point of flying in a suit and sneakers? Yes, you close the cockpit door and the passengers don't know, but it's a matter of attitude, you know."

Lu Jinghua and Teacher Shi Qi looked at each other. The leader of the Southwest Bureau didn't talk about the conflict in the air, but started by talking about the problem of clothing. Isn't this just chasing after the matter?

Xu Cang quickly understood the meaning of the leader, nodded immediately and said: "I remember, there will be no more in the future."

"Well, the attitude is very good." The leader of the Southwest Bureau nodded and seemed satisfied.

Lu Jinghua's face was extremely weird, and his attitude was very good. Didn't he still criticize Xu Cang because of the smell of alcohol before? This attitude changed too quickly.

The leader of the Southwest Bureau held a pen and tapped twice on the table, and then his tone changed slightly: "Xu Cang, have you decided when Asiana Airlines will be merged? I heard from the General Administration that you have received your proposal to acquire Korea AirAsia's application."

An airline is not a purely commercial enterprise, and it needs to obtain the consent of the General Administration for some normal commercial activities, although the General Administration will not interfere at almost any time.Just like a long time ago, Xu Cang proposed to the General Administration to transfer some Kingfisher Airlines planes to the country. This behavior seems to be an internal behavior, but it requires the approval of the General Administration.

Of course, the General Administration was not in trouble in the end, and Xu Cang finally gave up the idea of ​​transferring the planes from Kingfisher Airlines because of the drastic changes in the European market.

Similarly, when acquiring a foreign airline company, it must also obtain the approval of the General Administration, and the same is true for the last merger of Kingfisher Airlines.

"The contract is signed, and things are settled."

Upon hearing this, the leader of the Southwest Bureau could not stop smiling: "Asian Airlines, that is the second largest airline in South Korea. However, Asiana Airlines has encountered some troubles recently, can it be resolved? "

"Of course it can be solved, it's just a trivial matter." Xu Cang smiled and said, "The Southwest Bureau is very concerned about this matter?"

"That's for sure." The leader of the Southwest Bureau put down his pen: "We have never had a giant airline company in the southwest region. In fact, the civil aviation market in the southwest region cannot support the emergence of a giant airline company, but I didn't expect you to find another way. Looking abroad, it’s good, it’s good.”

In fact, the regional administration has a very direct relationship with the civil aviation resources in the jurisdiction.For example, the Northwest Administration Bureau, when the General Administration is in a meeting, can't stand upright, but the regional administration where the headquarters of the three major airlines are located is much more rigid.

Xu Cang said with a smile: "After some small matters are resolved, we will open some routes to South Korea. Before that, the starting point of our route was Shanghai and Yangcheng, but in the future we hope to open routes starting from Rongfu and Jianchuan. I hope the leaders of the Southwest Bureau will support it."

"It's easy to say, easy to say." The leader of the Southwest Bureau laughed.

After laughing a few times, the leader of the Southwest Bureau may feel that his current performance is not very good. After all, he came here to denounce Xu Cang, and the atmosphere should not be too happy.

"Xu Cang, when you look back at the Xianchi air conflict, you should write a report with a correct attitude, and just hand it in after you finish writing." The leader of the Southwest Bureau coughed twice: "Also, the General Administration has decided to carry out investigations on your company. After the investigation, don't have any thoughts of resistance, and try your best to cooperate, understand? What about your matter, after all, it did not cause substantial harm, and the General Administration will not kill them all."

Speaking of this, Xu Cang still didn't understand the truth, and stated at the time: "We accept all punishment measures from the General Administration. I have already told Feibiao that the schedule should be released as soon as possible. However, we use our own There is only one simulator over there, so the plan is estimated to be very long. Like this situation, do you want to contact Jianchuan's simulator center again?"

"No, no, it's okay if the planning time is longer, as long as all the investigations are done." The leader of the Southwest Bureau almost said what was in his heart, but fortunately he stopped his mouth in the end, otherwise it would be a little embarrassing.

Lu Jinghua was overjoyed when he heard the words, and the investigation plan was lengthened, which is naturally a good thing for Spring Airlines.

However, I originally thought that the Southwest Bureau came to Xingshi to inquire about the crime, but it seems that the meaning of protecting Spring Airlines is obvious.

Xu Cang was not happy about it, but asked with some concern: "Will the General Administration have any objections if it's too long?"

"If you put it before, maybe you have an opinion. However, not long ago, Rongcheng Airlines crashed into your company's plane, didn't it?" Knowing that the seat is put down, if the reaction is slower, the tip of the wing can cut off the heads of two people sitting in the cockpit. However, even if this is the case, is there another person injured? This is not a small matter. Oh, you guys are so serious, you don’t want to cause trouble for us, don’t you know that people from the International Civil Aviation Organization are investigating at the General Administration? We are under a lot of pressure.”

Xu Cang didn't care about the complaints from the leader of the Southwest Bureau. On the contrary, he heard some meaning from the words: "It means that Rongcheng Airlines has shared the firepower with us?"

"That's right, the General Administration will also investigate Chengdu Airlines. In this way, the investigation task will be heavy and the time will be longer, which is normal."

"That's it." Xu Cang was thoughtful: "Aside from the investigation, does the General Administration have any other measures against Rongcheng Airlines?"

"Other measures?" The leader of the Southwest Bureau was stunned: "No, the General Administration sent someone to Rongcheng Airlines directly, and we didn't send anyone."

"Isn't it strange that the General Administration sent people directly, why did the General Administration send people?"

Just like the air conflict in Xianchi, in terms of the nature of the incident, the two are not much different.

More people were injured in the air conflict in Xianchi, but the conflict at Chengdu Airlines Airport caused damage to the aircraft.However, as far as the air conflict in Xianchi is concerned, the Jianchuan Supervision Bureau and the Southwest Bureau are the ones who came to investigate. The General Bureau will pay attention to this matter but will not directly intervene.

However, the conflict at the Rongcheng Aviation Airport caused the General Administration to directly intervene, and the difference in handling between the two is still somewhat obvious.

"It's very strange. The General Administration let us ignore it."

Xu Cang snorted: "Who is that here, Director Li Lin of the Air Safety Department?"

"No." The leader of the Southwest Bureau shook his head: "No, it's Director Xin Xin of the Airport Department."

"Director Xin?" Xu Cang frowned: "The people from the Airport Department are supervising this matter, this."

The leader of the Southwest Bureau did not find it strange: "Maybe Director Li has other things to do, so let Director Xin come over for a cameo role? After all, this incident also happened in the airport area, and it is barely within the scope of Director Xin's duties."

"No, no, no, this is definitely not normal." Xu Cang pointed his finger on the table with high frequency. Any behavior by the General Administration has a deep meaning. It is not the director of the Aviation Safety Department but the director of the Airport Department. It is definitely nothing If you can't get away, there will always be time to squeeze.

The leader of the Southwest Bureau looked at Xu Cang's appearance: "What's wrong?"

"Where is Director Xin now?"

"I don't know, I guess I should go back, and I won't stay in Rongfu all the time."

"Going back." Xu Cang pondered for a moment: "It seems that I will meet Director Xin once in a while."

"Are you going to the headquarters?"

"I'm going to Japan soon, and I should go via Hanjing." Xu Cang said with a smile: "This time I will go back in mid-September. If you need to find me about the air conflict in Xianchi during the period, I'm afraid it will be I can't come back."

The leader of the Southwest Bureau asked, "Is it because of that hearing?"

"A part, and some other things." Xu Cang: "Is it okay?"

Just at this juncture, let the leader of the Southwest Bureau give an accurate statement, so as to avoid a dilemma.

The trip to Japan is very important to Xu Cang, and he doesn't want anything else to affect him.

The leader of the Southwest Bureau thought for a moment: "Yes."

Two days later, Xu Cang arrived in Hanjing as planned.

He arrived in the morning, and the plane didn't take off until after five in the afternoon.The reason why he came so early was to come to the General Administration to meet Director Xin Xin.

Xu Cang from the General Administration has been here many times, but he is very familiar with it.However, when I found Director Xin Xin's office, there was no one there. After asking, I found out that Director Xin went to drink tea in a small garden in the corner of the headquarters.

Xu Cang knew the place and found it after walking a few steps.

The houses of the General Administration are all very historic. The walls of the main building are full of ivy, and in the southeast corner, there used to be a vineyard, where it is usually used to cool off the summer heat.Inside, however, there is a large flower bed, which some would call a small garden.

The flower bed is circular, surrounded by a one-meter-wide walkway, and there are some benches next to it, where you can sit casually. Xin Xin usually comes here to drink tea and take a walk when he is tired from sitting.

When Xu Cang came over, Xin Xin was looking at the vine in the garden quite intently. Hearing Xu Cang's footsteps, Xin Xin didn't turn his head, but said indifferently: "When I came, this vine was like this. I don’t know if it will still be like this in another ten years.”

"I feel that even after 20 years, it will still be the same." Xu Cang walked up to Xin Xin and stopped: "Director Xin is so excited."

"What's so exciting?" Xin Xin said with a smile: "You're young, sitting all the time, your waist started to hurt. There's nothing I can do, I can only walk around from time to time to protect my waist."

Xu Cang pondered for a moment: "Then Director Xin returned to Rong Mansion after a long trip?"

Xin Xin raised his eyebrows: "You didn't come to see me, but to ask about the Rongfu Airport?"

"Director Xin is here, and he can come to visit anytime, but the Rongfu Airport can't wait, maybe it will fly away soon." Xu Cang said with a smile: "Director Xin, you went to Rongfu to exchange the shares of the airport. Stripped out?"

Xin Xin glanced at Xu Cang: "You are very smart, and you can see the essence at a glance. So far, no one from the three major airlines has come, and they all thought that I went to Rongcheng Airlines just because of an airport collision."

"Once the bond between Rongcheng Airlines and the airport group is severed, then Rongfu Airport will in fact become an airport without an owner."

"That's right." Xin Xin said indifferently: "Rongfu Airport is developing too fast, such a big airport shouldn't be biased towards any one side."

Xu Cang's eyes shone brightly: "In other words, it should be decided by the General Administration who prefers."

Xin Xin lowered his eyebrows slightly: "Xu Cang, it's a pity that you don't come to the headquarters."

"Then I guessed right, the General Administration will make new adjustments to the tendency of Rongfu Airport?"

Xin Xin turned around and stared at Xu Cang with piercing eyes: "If we hand over the priority of Rongfu Airport to any other company, what will happen to you?"

"On the side of the couch, how can you allow others to sleep soundly?" Xu Cang's eyes narrowed slightly: "The location of Rongfu Airport is very good, Jianchuan is too far to the southwest, and Rongfu Airport is more north to east, which can radiate Bigger, that is what I have to master in the future. I have nothing to do with the bureau’s administrative orders, but the final ownership of Rongfu Airport will still be mine.”

There was some light in Xin Xin's eyes: "You mean to violate the order of the General Administration?"

"Director Xin, are you kidding me?" Xu Cang suddenly laughed: "I still remember the time when people from the General Administration wanted to deprive me of the title of meritorious pilot. I don't care about that title, but since then , I have been seeking to escape from the General Administration. My roots are in the southwest. If the Rongfu Airport is given to someone else, it will be like a sharp thorn in my flesh and blood. Do you think I am the kind who endured the pain? Anyone who won't resist?"

Xin Xin's face was slightly cold: "But as long as the General Administration thinks, your foundation in the country can be disintegrated in an instant."

"But you wouldn't do that, would you?" Xu Cang said with a smile: "The General Administration doesn't want a company that only operates in the country. It's not a skill to make money from its own people. If it's capable, it's to make money from foreigners. But now, the only one in China that can be counted on is me, and I am the only hope."

"Besides, there is one thing Director Xin may have made a mistake, so don't try to threaten me with this matter." Xu Cang's voice became colder: "You guys will do the first day of junior high school, and I will do the fifteenth day of junior high school. At worst, I will overturn the table. China's civil aviation market. Although my idea is to promote cheap air tickets, it doesn't matter if you don't want to."

Xu Cang said with a smile: "Don't take a person's noble ideals as a threat, because people are easy to fall."

Xin Xin's eyelids twitched wildly, but he didn't say anything tit for tat. Instead, he said after a while: "Luo Luo has already submitted an application for verification of the engine repair factory to us."

One of the engine repair factories needs to be checked and accepted by the professional department of the Civil Aviation Administration, because it is directly related to the safety of civil aviation aircraft.Rollo-Royce submitted an application to the General Administration, which means that Rollo-Royce's establishment of a factory in China is already a certainty.

"This is part of the cooperation agreement between me and Luo Luo, they just implemented it normally."

"Has the factory site been chosen?"

"No."

Xin Xin narrowed his eyes: "Then choose Rong Mansion, the airport will vacate a piece of land for you."

"But why should I do this?" Xu Cang said: "Hanjing, Shanghai, Yangcheng, Jinmen, Tianning, Binjiang are all inviting me, and the condition is far from just a piece of land."

Unlike the previous Airbus General Assembly Plant, this engine maintenance plant is a clear asset of Xu Cang. Luo Luo only provides technical support, and the number of foreign personnel will gradually decrease, which can provide many high-quality technical positions.Whether it is from taxation or solving high-end employment, it is a very good project, who can not be greedy.

To be honest, Rongfu is not a good choice. It is too inland and the transportation cost is higher.Moreover, in terms of conditions, the conditions given in several other places are obviously better.

Xin Xin said indifferently: "At present, there are Shanghai Airport in the east, Yangcheng Airport in the south, and Hanjing Airport in the north, but there is no hub airport in the west. Judging from the current development, Rongfu Airport is the most likely Yes, but this kind of thing is not good, so we need to push it."

"The General Administration wants to turn Rongfu Airport into a western hub?"

"Isn't Rongfu the best choice? Jianchuan Airport is too deep, which is not conducive to radiation, and its own airport hardware is not good. We have also considered Shancheng Airport, but in direct competition with Rongfu Airport, Shancheng Airport fell behind. If you are at a disadvantage, I am afraid that you will be suppressed by Rongfu Airport in the future, so Rongfu Airport is the only choice." Xin Xin said indifferently: "You settle the engine repair factory in Rongfu, and move the headquarters to Rongfu Airport at the same time. .”

Xu Cang's eyelids twitched: "You want us to move the headquarters?"

"Erhai is too small, isn't it? You now have Spring and Summer Airlines in the aviation sector, as well as the Xianchi branch of Northwest Airlines, Kingfisher Airlines and Asiana Airlines abroad. The headquarters of such a huge aviation group is located in Erhai , that's not a joke."

"Then I can choose Jianchuan nearby."

"No, no, Jianchuan can't support the girder." Xin Dao said: "Rongfu Airport guards the gate, and Jianchuan Airport will always lag behind Rongfu Airport. Moreover, if you move your headquarters to Rongfu Airport, you can also go west to Jianchuan However, the headquarters is in Jianchuan, but it is impossible to reach Rongfu in the east. Again, although both Rongfu Airport and Jianchuan Airport are in the southwest, Jianchuan Airport is too deep. The functions of Jianchuan Airport, Rongfu Airport They have them all, Jianchuan Airport doesn’t have them, Rongfu Airport also has them, that’s the difference.”

"However, my base building in Erhai Lake has only just been built, isn't it a waste?"

Xin Xin smiled and said, "Xu Cang, don't use such irrelevant excuses to reject me, can you?"

"Then what about the conditions?" Xu Cang went straight to the point: "I want to know what I can get."

Xin Xin took a deep breath: "The three major airlines each have the priority of a hub airport, so the fourth airline should naturally have an airport that matches its status. Jianchuan Airport is really not good enough, and I think Rongfu Airport is just right. .”

Hearing this sentence, Xu Cang actually didn't have much expression on his face: "This is not a condition, it's just a favor. If you don't give it to me, I can still grab it."

"Then you don't want it?" Xin Xin smiled meaningfully.

Xu Cang raised his eyebrows, and said very honestly: "Yes, of course!"

Xin Xin nodded: "You can grab it, but it's not decent after all, why bother?"

"Then I hope the General Administration will give me a title."

Xin Xin was a little strange, this request was unexpected: "What title."

"Director Xin also said just now that some things are not decent, so when dealing with the issue of the Xianchi branch, I want to be decent." Xu Cang said: "Therefore, I want to discuss with the General Administration for a Northwest Aviation's name."

"You want to fulfill Gong Yue's wish?"

The general manager of the Xianchi branch wants to return to Northwest Airlines in his dreams, but if he does so, wouldn't he be given great autonomy.

"He wants the name of Northwest Airlines, so just give it to him. I don't like to care about those trivial things when I do things. I have drawn a line. I don't care what I do within the line, but if I cross the line, I can also do it." An Anxin, deal with him decently."

"However, it seems that Gong Yue doesn't just want the name of Northwest Airlines."

"It doesn't matter, as long as he can cooperate with my work, it doesn't matter to give him substantial autonomy." Xu Cang said very flatly.

Xin Xin took a deep look at Xu Cang: "You are very confident. No matter how hard Gong Yue writhes, he won't be able to get over your Five Fingers Mountain. You know, Mr. Si is not sure about this matter."

"Now I'm sure." Xu Cang smiled and said, "Director Xin, is it okay?"

Xin Xin was silent for a moment: "I need to report this matter to discuss it. Restarting Northwest Airlines is not a trivial matter. However, the biggest pressure is still on yourself. Do you really have the confidence to suppress Gong Yue?"

"It's just a small Northwest Airlines." Xu Cang said with a smile.

"That's fine, I will report it." Xin Xin nodded: "By the way, I heard that you are going to Japan with Chairman Yue?"

"Director Xin's news is very accurate."

"For big things, my news has always been accurate." Xin Xin nodded slightly: "I wish you success soon!"

Although I had expected it when I went to the General Administration, I didn't expect to be able to get the priority of Rongfu Airport so quickly.

For Xu Cang, it was indeed a loss for the engine repair factory to be located at Rongfu Airport, but compared to getting the right of priority at Rongfu Airport, that is not a problem.

Just because of the terrible profitability of Rongfu-Jianchuan Aviation, if we can make the most of Jianchuan Rongfu, then Xu Cang's foundation in the West will be very stable.

Moreover, the establishment of Cangqing Group is imminent.Xu Cang intends to set up the Cangqing Group after returning from Japan, and the headquarters is in Rongfu.

The recent incidents of air conflicts and airport collisions made Xu Cang a little upset, but after all, the timing came and something good happened.

When he arrived at the VIP lounge of National University Airlines in the afternoon, Yue Sheng was already waiting inside.After a while, they were going to fly to Tokyo on a plane of National Airline, and the chairman of National Airline was there, so the service was naturally first-class, and Xu Cang followed suit.

There was a secretary waiting beside Yue Sheng, but Xu Cang did not sit down after entering, but looked at his watch: "When are we leaving?"

Yue Sheng didn't answer, but the secretary next to him spoke up: "In about 10 minutes, the two of you will board the plane first. We have already known in advance, there will be no flow control."

"Xu Cang, I'm rarely so excited, I even feel like I can't wait." Yue Sheng said with a smile, "I hope you don't let me down."

Xu Cang nodded slightly: "I will definitely not disappoint you."

As he said that, Xu Cang gazed at the east, thinking of Japan silently in his heart, here I come!

　Tomorrow, I have to work more than ten hours. I guess the code will not move when I come back. I will ask for a day off.
