Return to 2000: Captain of the Great Powers

"Buy Obiro Manor for one dollar?" Yi Feng was stunned. For a moment, he thought that Byron Warwick was joking with him, but seeing Byron Warwick's appearance, it seemed that this remark was not true. Just kidding.

However, this kind of happy event doesn't feel very real by any means.

Yi Feng thought for a while, calmed down, and raised a finger, which is a habitual gesture of his, hoping to force himself to calm down: "Mr. Warwick, can you tell me why? "

Byron Warwick smiled calmly: "Mr. Yi must have heard something about Obiro Manor. At the beginning of Mr. Xu Cang's rescue, because of the weight of the plane, the original rescue plan included I didn’t consider ordinary manor employees. In the end, Mr. Xu Cang insisted on his own opinion and took the risk to bring enough supplies to save everyone in the manor.”

"In order to save those rich men, Mr. Xu Cang charged them ten draws, but for ordinary employees, he only charged a symbolic one dollar, which was the one dollar note he took from me." Bye Len Warwick said: "It's not just me, the family members of the ordinary employees of Obiro Manor are also quite willing to let Mr. Xu Cang take over."

Yi Feng has some memories of what Byron Warwick said.

Since the attached airport of Obiro Manor is only for small fixed-wing or helicopters to land in principle, the runway is very short, and there is heavy snow in the Alps, and the road surface is slippery, so there are extremely strict restrictions on landing weight.

In the rescue plan formulated by the owner of Obiro Manor, in order to limit the landing weight of the plane within a reasonable range, the material needs of nearly 180 ordinary employees were directly eliminated.It wasn't until the relatives of employees who didn't know the truth came to them directly that they realized this problem.

However, in the end, Xu Cang resisted all opinions and took the supplies of another 180 people with him at the risk.For this reason, no matter the 180 employees or their relatives, they were all grateful to Xu Cang and hated the owner of Manor Obiro who led the rescue plan.

"I heard that the owner of Obiro Manor is currently in a whirlpool of lawsuits. I don't know."

"That's right, I initiated it." Byron Warwick said bluntly: "If Mr. Xu Cang doesn't take over, then this manor will just be abandoned."

This time, Yi Feng fell into silence.

According to the news he heard, because the rescue plan formulated by the owner of the Obiro Manor was too anti-human, he directly ignored the lives of 180 ordinary employees.Therefore, the defendant was later brought to the European Council of Human Rights and had to pay sky-high moral compensation. In addition, in the field of public opinion, the Obiro Manor was also extremely passive.

Whether it is hypocrisy or sincerity, leftist thinking is prevalent in Europe, and it is politically correct to cast aside such actions that disregard human life. Therefore, even if the owner of Manor Obiro wants to sell at a low price, no one dares to take this hot potato ah.

If this continues, the Obiro Manor will be completely abandoned.

However, now there is one person who is most suitable to take over the Obiro Manor, and that is Xu Cang.

Back then, Xu Cang risked his life to save those 180 employees without asking for anything in return.From the point of view of public opinion, even if Xu Cang takes over, there will be no negative comments.

Moreover, as the parties to the lawsuit, the employees and their relatives would definitely not demand Xu Cang's exorbitant compensation, which was perfectly appropriate.

"If Mr. Xu Cang is willing to take over the Obiro Manor, all of us are willing to withdraw all compensation lawsuits against the Obiro Manor. All Mr. Xu Cang needs to pay is the one-dollar note."

"That's it." Yi Feng was a little dazed, and then he was ecstatic.

Once Byron Warwick explained it in this way, things became very clear.

"Is there really such a thing as buying a top manor with one dollar in this world?" Yi Feng really envied Xu Cang's luck.

Byron Warwick chuckled and said, "I don't know if I can ask Mr. Yi to tell Mr. Xu Cang. If he agrees, I will go back and draw up the contract immediately, because it involves a tripartite agreement, and the agreement is quite complicated."

This agreement includes the owner of the Obiro Manor, Xu Cang and employee representatives. Only when all three parties agree can the Obiro Manor be handed over to Xu Cang in a clean and normal state.

"Wait a minute, I'll call Xu Cang, sit down!" Yi Feng didn't dare to be negligent, so he quickly stabilized Byron Warwick and shouted to the outside: "Wang Qing, entertain the guests .”

Not long after, his secretary came in with tea.

Yi Feng asked the secretary to entertain Byron Warwick first, while he went out of the office to find Xu Cang.I tried to call Xu Cang just now, but no one answered, I don't know what to say now.

As soon as he left the office, Yi Feng had an unconcealable smile on his face. Not only did the pie fall from the sky, but it was so big that it almost knocked him out.

In a certain hotel room in Tokyo, there was an extra person in Xu Cang's room, and it was Chen Tianyang who was sent to Japan by Xu Cang before.

On the sofa in the room, Xu Cang was flipping through the materials that Chen Tianyang had recently investigated, which was about Kawasaki Heating & Cooling Industry.

Before, in order to prevent Kawasaki Industries from helping Bombardier, Xu Cang asked Li Rongcheng to approach Kawasaki Industries' President Kawasaki Akizo.However, Kawasaki Mingzang obviously did not agree with Xu Cang's proposal, and even felt that when Bombardier was weak, he should take the opportunity to make more money.

Bombardier is already on the verge of collapse, how can it be given a chance to breathe?
Now domestically produced engines only have planetary gear technology, and Pratt & Whitney is also under the control of Xu Cang, basically domestically produced is expected.

However, domestically produced large aircraft are not limited to engines. Even though AVIC can manufacture very good fuselage components, there are still shortcomings in other aspects.

Xu Cang is a thorough pragmatist. If he can't do it for the time being, he won't just do it. Whoever has it outside, then bring it to you.

Bombardier is subject to Pratt & Whitney in terms of engines, but it still has its own unique insights and technologies in other aircraft systems. After all, it has honed its own skills in regional airliners for many years.

As long as Bombardier is obtained, the last piece of the puzzle of domestic large aircraft is almost completed, and the rest is time to digest and realize it.

Therefore, there must be no mistakes in Bombardier's affairs.

It is unrealistic to bring down Kawasaki Heavy Industries, but it is still very simple to create some troubles for Kawasaki Mingzang.

Japanese industry has been boasting about the spirit of craftsmanship in recent times. This halo is the most excellent beautifying filter, but once it is punctured, the negative impact will be even greater.

In Xu Cang's memory, Kawasaki Heavy Industries was the first to get thunderstorms, and the most thorough thunderstorms were Kawasaki Refrigeration Industries.Kawasaki Heating & Cooling Industry is not only fake, but also lasts for a long time, lasting for decades.

If the fraud has not been discovered for a long time, it will inevitably lead to contempt. It is estimated that he will not even bother to cover it up later, so Xu Cang thinks that Chen Tianyang's ability to investigate the loopholes of Kawasaki Refrigeration Industry will not be a big problem.

It's just that Xu Cang still overestimated the prudence of Kawasaki Refrigeration Industry. After Chen Tianyang did a little research, all the problems came out.

"The main business scope of this subsidiary is the refrigerator of the central air-conditioning system of the building. Since a long time ago, this subsidiary has modified the data of product performance to meet the quality requirements of the Ministry of the Environment, the Tokyo Metropolitan Government and the Environmental Association. In addition, I also found some rumors that some products of this company will fabricate data that have not been measured at all during the trial run inspection stage. Customers will modify the testing instruments during the actual on-site experience, so that can meet the testing standards.”

Chen Tianyang continued when Xu Cang looked through the information: "However, there is no direct evidence for the things mentioned later. However, according to my feeling of checking their company, the issues involved in the later rumors have a longer history, and may even be close to It has been 20 years, as long as you give me a little time, I believe I can find it out. Over time, they have become numb to the problem of counterfeiting and lack the awareness of covering up, so it is not difficult to find out.”

"I know this, but I didn't expect to be able to search so quickly." Xu Cang put the information on the table, and the screen of the mobile phone on the bed not far away lit up, showing that it was Yi Feng's call.

However, Xu Cang turned the phone to silent, and his attention was all on Chen Tianyang, but he didn't notice that the phone screen suddenly lit up.

Chen Tianyang also became cheerful: "To be honest, I didn't expect it, they didn't seem to think that someone would check it, and they could find a bunch of them just by checking."

"It's made in Japan, it's so popular, I believe it, it's all the same." Xu Cang leaned on the sofa: "Let's disclose the confirmed fake information, so as to cause a little trouble for Kawasaki Heavy Industries. However, time The authorities have to wait until those unconfirmed rumors are confirmed before spreading them.”

"No problem. With the sieve-like state of Kawasaki Heating Industry, I can figure it out in a few days. By the way, who should I give the news to?"

Xu Cang looked up at Chen Tianyang: "Do you know any Japanese reporters?"

"This." Chen Tianyang pondered for a moment, then clicked his lips: "However, with the size of Kawasaki Heavy Industries in Japan, those few people I know probably wouldn't dare to suffer."

Xu Cang took a sip of the tea, with a smile on his face: "Is this person hard to find?"

"It's not hard to find. There are always some stunned young people who don't care who they offend, who they catch and who they bite, just because the news is so hot."

Xu Cang frowned: "You know such a person."

"Yeah." Chen Tianyang nodded: "There is an independent reporter named Takeshi Todo in Tokyo. He never refuses anyone, why don't you try him?"

"Todo Fujido?" Xu Cang recalled and confirmed that he did not know this person: "If you think it is feasible, you can try it."

Chen Tianyang leaned against the table, flipped his fingers, and tapped on the table like playing a piano: "However, this news is not big to be honest. What if that guy doesn't like it?"

"You just tell him that if the news is done well, there will be another exciting news for him later."

Chen Tianyang was startled: "What?"

"It's enough news to turn JCAB, Haneda Airport, and ANA upside down." Xu Cang put down his teacup: "Just tell him that."

Chen Tianyang was shocked when he heard the words: "You want to leave that matter to him?"

"Can't you?" Xu Cang said with a smile: "It doesn't matter who you give it to, the key is who can guarantee to send that news. This time, it's just to try the weight of Fujido Takeshi and see if he is a brave and foolhardy person." A reckless man, or a sinister and cunning fox."

Chen Tianyang pursed his lips tightly and did not speak for a long time.

"Why, do you have any objections?" Xu Cang put one hand on the armrest, looking very casual: "Tell me, I am very kind."

"Xu Cang, I don't think you have any problem with ANA in that matter, but would it be bad to involve JCAB? After all, we will develop in the Japanese market in the future." Chen Tianyang said worriedly.

Chen Tianyang knew Xu Cang's layout in Japan, because a lot of information in Japan was collected by Chen Tianyang, and he was the main participant.

It is true that Chen Tianyang is unwilling to doubt Xu Cang in terms of layout, but until now, he is still worried that Xu Cang's attack area is too large, even Japan's civil aviation agency JCAB will attack together.

Chen Tianyang thinks that it is not necessary to focus on JCAB, which is quite unwise.

"You don't know." Xu Cang showed a trace of solemnity on his face: "The prospect of CAAC's election for the first-class council member this time is not very good. Nowadays, the world's three major civil aviation markets are Europe, the United States and East Asia. Their attitude directly determines CAAC. Whether it can be promoted to a first-class director. I am still thinking about how to deal with EASA in Europe and FAA in the United States. In terms of discourse power in East Asia, except for CAAC, JCAB has the highest discourse power. Now that CAAC is a candidate, it is naturally not included. In East Asia, JCAB actually has the final say, at least on this vote, I want to ensure that JCAB votes in favor.”

"But, if you have something to ask for, how can there be a way to do it?"

"The principle of ending war with war." Xu Cang said: "You talk to JCAB well, they don't care about you, only after you beat them first, can they understand their position and what they should do."

"But what will JCAB do against us in the future?"

"Hahaha." Xu Cang laughed endlessly: "We will be entangled with JAL in the future and become a community of interests. JCAB is targeting JAL against us. Will they target JAL?"

Chen Tianyang opened his mouth: "As always, you have considered everything. What did EASA and FAA say?"

When it comes to EASA and FAA, Xu Cang has a headache.

To be honest, JCAB is still small and easy to grasp.If you put this in EASA and FAA, you dare to threaten them, and you will clean it up with your backhand.

"Actually, EASA and FAA have put forward conditions for me, but I can't accept it yet."

"Oh?" Chen Tianyang was very surprised: "People from EASA and FAA have looked for you?"

"Yeah." Xu Cang admitted and sighed: "I still need to consider their conditions."

Not long ago, the chief teachers of EASA and FAA asked Xu Cang not to succeed as the chairman of the International Federation of Airline Pilots Association. In return, EASA and FAA can support the election of a class of directors of CAAC and help on European and American routes.

However, the International Federation of Airline Pilots Association is also a very stage of help, Xu Cang certainly didn't want to just refuse, which made Xu Cang in a dilemma.

However, fortunately, the chief teachers of EASA and FAA did not push too much, and gave Xu Cang some time to think.However, this is at least a problem that needs to be confronted.

Originally, Xu Cang had temporarily forgotten about it, but after saying this, he remembered it again, and immediately became annoyed.

Seeing that Xu Cang's five sense organs seemed to be assembled in an emergency, Chen Tianyang knew Xu Cang's mental state at the moment just from Xu Cang's expression: "Forget it, forget it, I won't ask, it depends on your entanglement. I will follow your wishes Go find Fujido Tsuyoshi, since you have thought about things in Japan, there is no need to change it."

"Yeah." Xu Cang didn't continue talking about business, and pointed to the tea set and tea leaves on the round table in the corner: "Let's make a cup of tea, let's sit down and chat."

Seeing that Xu Cang is still so elegant, Chen Tianyang couldn't help crying and laughing: "The hearing will be held in a few days, and I will sweat for you, don't you worry?"

"It was a sad moment, so don't think about it. Drinking tea is the most important thing." Xu Cang called Chen Tianyang over: "You also have a rest, and continue working after drinking."

The corners of Chen Tianyang's mouth twitched, he thought this was a little "reward" before urging him to work.

Chen Tianyang brought over the tea set and tea leaves, and as soon as he sat down, he heard someone knock on the door.Xu Cang didn't move, Chen Tianyang went to open the door, but it was an unexpected person, JCAB Director Kennao Nagashima.

Kennao Nagashima wore a dark gray windbreaker and a retro round hat on his head today, which looks very Japanese in the 80s.

Chang Dao Jian looked straight at Chen Tianyang, he had never met Chen Tianyang, which made him a little concerned.

"Mr. Xu, don't come here without any problems." Chang Dao took off his hat and greeted Xu Cang very politely. At the same time, his eyes shifted slightly and fell on Chen Tianyang.

Xu Cang didn't speak yet, but Chen Tianyang understood: "Shall I go out for a stroll?"

"It's okay, it's not a top secret, let me listen to the staff." Xu Cang smiled and pointed to the small sofa opposite: "Director Long Island, please sit down."

Chang Dao Jianzhi was a little embarrassed, but he sat down as he said: "Mr. Xu, we have just received your application for the acquisition of Jiasu Airlines."

Just like in China, JCAB must be notified when foreign capital acquires local airlines, but JCAB will not allow it according to the usual practice.

However, there should be a process to go.

"Yes." Xu Cang readily admitted, and today the legal team of National Airline formally proposed the acquisition plan to Jiasu Airlines.

It can only be said that Changdao Jianzhi's speed is very fast. The acquisition case was submitted, and this side came to the door.

Chang Dao Jian pointedly said: "How come Jiasu Airlines is also our third largest airline, and it was acquired by you just like that?"

"The director of Long Island can't say that. The civil aviation market in the market can support at most two giant airlines. There is an obvious gap between Jiasu Airlines' third position and the first two, and anyone with a discerning eye can see that Jiasu Airlines is now Aviation is still out of gold, and if you wait a few more years, there will only be rotten." Xu Cang said with a smile: "Not only will you not stop it, but maybe you should thank us for solving the rotten sore of Jiasu for you."

"You know?" Nagashima Ken straightly frowned: "Then you still bought Jiasu Airlines, because you are sure that Japan Airlines will acquire Jiasu and then collect the price difference?"

Xu Cang stared at Changdao Jianzhi, and showed a playful smile: "Director Changdao, do you have any misunderstandings about me?"

Chang Dao Jian was startled: "What?"

Xu Cang pointed to himself: "I, Xu Cang, can't pick up the trash, so it makes you think so?"

"Xu Cang, you..." Nagashima Kenzhi didn't know how to answer Xu Cang's words for a moment: "If my words have caused Mr. Xu trouble, then I apologize to you."

"No..." Xu Cang just spoke here, and suddenly noticed that the screen of the mobile phone on the bed lit up, so he raised his hand and said straight to Chang Daojian: "Excuse me, Director Chang Dao."

After finishing speaking, he got up and went to the bedside to pick up the mobile phone, and found that it was Yi Feng's call, so he connected it: "What's wrong?"

"Xu Cang, you finally answered the phone." Yi Feng let out a sigh of relief: "A man named Byron Warwick came to look for you just now."

Yi Feng briefly explained to Xu Cang that Byron Warwick wanted to sell Obiro Manor for one dollar.

Xu Cang remembered Byron Warwick, and what Jing Yifeng said probably meant to understand the situation of Obiro Manor, and before that, Xu Cang was actually aware of the difficulties encountered by Obiro Manor Xu Cang was not very surprised because he knew something about it.

All that surprised him was that Byron Warwick would finally find himself wanting to take over Obiro.

To be honest, Obiro Manor is an extremely high-quality asset, and it is indeed a big deal for nothing to take over it with almost no effort.

"Yi Feng, ask Mr. Warwick to answer the phone."

"Ah? Oh." After a while, Byron Warwick's voice came from the opposite side: "Mr. Xu Cang?"

"It's me! Mr. Warwick, Yi Feng has already told me your idea just now. I can take over the Obiro Manor. You can draw up an agreement first, but I need to see it in person for the final decision." Xu Cang Thinking of going to Europe to find Rosefield Capet in the near future, he made an agreement with Byron Warwick: "When I know about Japan and the United States, I will go to Europe again and do it at that time." Let's decide, how?"

Byron Warwick hardly thought: "Then I will wait for Mr. Xu to arrive."

"En." Xu Cang responded, and suddenly changed the topic: "Mr. Warwick, are you still an independent lawyer now?"

"Yes, is there a problem?"

Xu Cang smiled and said, "I'm about to set up the Cangqing Group, and the legal department lacks a manager. I wonder if Mr. Byron Warwick is interested?"

After finishing speaking, Xu Cang suddenly realized something, and added: "Do you know what it means to suppress the place?"

"I know, I know, I have lived in China for a while." Byron Warwick paused: "I will seriously consider Mr. Xu's invitation."

Getting such an answer already made Xu Cang quite satisfied.

"Let's discuss it together when I go to Europe."

"Ok!"

After finishing speaking, Xu Cang hung up the phone, threw the phone back on the bed, and went back to sit down opposite Chang Dao Jianzhi: "I'm sorry to keep the Long Island Bureau waiting for so long. However, the Director of Long Island should not only come here for a fast acquisition case. Let's go. At least in name, there is no obvious problem, and JCAB is not allowed to suspend normal business practices."

"Of course, as long as the procedures are in compliance, we won't stop it." Chang Daojian said straightly: "I came here to confirm one thing with Mr. Xu, because too many people are also confirming with me."

Xu Cang had expected it: "Please tell me!"

Chang Dao stared straight at Xu Cang, and asked in an extremely serious tone: "Will Mr. Xu attend the hearing on the morning of September [-]?"

Xu Cang smiled lightly: "Yes, I will attend."

Nagashima Kenzhi breathed a sigh of relief: "That's enough, Mr. Xu Cang, will you allow us to disclose this news. As you know, we are also under tremendous pressure."

"It doesn't matter." Xu Cang played with the porcelain cup in his hand.

Chang Dao Jian straightened his face with joy, stood up, and tightened his windbreaker: "Then thank you Mr. Xu Cang, within two days, the official agreement on the acquisition of Jiasu Airlines will come down."

"En." The corner of Xu Cang's mouth curled up a little: "Director Long Island, I won't send it away."

Chang Daojian looked straight at Xu Cang who was motionless, his eyelids twitched, but finally nodded his head: "I'll see you at the hearing on September [-]th."

Once the news that Xu Cang was confirmed to attend the hearing on September [-]th was confirmed, it immediately set off a storm in Japan.In recent days, Xu Cang's public opinion in Japan is almost top-notch, and discussions about him have been going on for a long time.

Japan's Asahi Shimbun, Yomiuri Shimbun, and Mainichi Shimbun reported Xu Cang's affairs with eye-catching headlines on the front page.

The title of the first day is. The Grim Butcher Lands in the Japanese Archipelago.

The next day. The cruel executioner approached Honshu.

On the third day, September [-]th, the day before the hearing, all the newspapers printed such a line that the ruthless killer stepped into Tokyo!
In the early morning of September [-]th, on the balcony of the hotel, Xu Cang was holding a newspaper in his hand. Xu Cang's condemnation of himself was very clear. He also knew what he would face tomorrow morning, but in his There was no trace of fear in his heart, and when he made this decision, he was no longer afraid.

At the same time, on the front page of the Asahi Shimbun on the table in the room, it was an interview with Ji Chuan Yixin, the president of Jiasu Airlines, in which Ji Chuan Yixin publicly supported Xu Cang in an almost decisive tone. Resoluteness is extremely rare.

At the moment before the hearing started, Ji Chuanyixin's words were astonishing, which was simply a performance of losing his mind, but only Ji Chuanyixin knew that this was a big gamble.

The soft brilliance of the rising sun appeared on the golden horizon, inlaying the buildings in Tokyo with a layer of gold. Looking at the unparalleled prosperity of Tokyo, Xu Cang took a deep breath and muttered to himself: "Everything has finally begun."
