Return to 2000: Captain of the Great Powers

Chapter 414 Lands and Borders Sealed!

As the door of the ward slowly closed, Long Yue Mingxiong's figure finally disappeared.

After a short silence in the ward, Qin Xin sat by the bed: "You are very obsessed with the seat on the board of directors of Nikko Airlines, but if there is only one seat, it won't have any substantial effect, right?"

That's right, Akio Long Yue agreed to Xu Cang's proposal just now, and Japan Airport Terminal Co., Ltd. itself has no other choice.

Public opinion has fermented to such an extent that if they turn their guns and focus on Haneda Airport, they simply cannot stand it.

Xu Cang himself is not Japanese, so he can't just pat his ass and leave, Haneda Airport can't move.

However, Qin Xin doesn't quite understand why Xu Cang is so obsessed with one seat, one seat can't change anything at all, right?

"Not one." Xu Cang blinked mysteriously: "It's three."

"Three?" Qin Xin tilted her head: "Where are the other two?"

"There will be some soon." Xu Cang shrank his body into the bed: "I'm going to rest, there is an interview with the Asahi Shimbun in the afternoon."

Qin Xin glared at Xu Cang: "Your body is like this, and you are still being interviewed?"

"You don't need to do anything, and you still have the strength to say a few words. Moreover, public opinion is built up step by step. Before the real trick is used, public opinion needs to be guided in advance."

Qin Xin was puzzled: "Where are you leading?"

"All Nippon Airways and Jiasu Airlines." Xu Cang didn't say much, but changed the subject for a while: "You can start to get the US visa later. The sooner you can sign the 777, the better."

"Don't worry, my last US visa has not expired, and I can go anytime."

"Then as soon as possible, if possible, prepare now, I don't need you to worry about it." Xu Cang said: "If Yifeng's side goes well, the Xianchi branch will send an extra part of the maintenance to go to the United States with you. After you sign the contract, you have to make a tiring trip to Victorville."

"Victorville? The airplane graveyard?"

"That's right!" Xu Cang nodded: "Qatar Airways has a few sealed planes in Victorville, you have to go and see if there are any available ones, maybe you can get a few. According to what I know about Qatar Airways, The quality of their stored aircraft is estimated to be better than that of some second-hand aircraft leasing companies.”

"An extra trip to Victorville is nothing, the main thing is, can Yi Feng persuade Gong Yue?" Qin Xin didn't know.

"I have already applied to the General Administration for the registration of Northwest Airlines. Gong Yue has always been thinking about Northwest Airlines. I will give him whatever he wants. I have too many things to do now, and I don't want to put too much energy on him. I have given His biggest concession, if he is still not satisfied, then he will not know what to do."

Qin Xin hummed, this was due to Xu Cang's great self-confidence, he felt that he could handle Gong Yue at any time.

Seeing that Qin Xin didn't seem to speak, Xu Cang pulled up the quilt directly, revealing a small head, closing his eyes and recuperating.

Suddenly, Qin Xin said: "Xu Cang, Xia Shuyue has been very popular in the past two days."

"Well, what's the matter?" Xu Cang still closed his eyes, and his tone was quite calm.

"Recently, she is the only news in Japan besides you. Moreover, major newspapers in various countries are also reporting this incident. When you were in Europe, you didn't have such a big battle."

Xu Cang turned his lower body slightly: "Shuyue did a good job this time, and he should be sought after. What is there to make a fuss about?"

"No, the main reason is that I feel that this matter is a bit strange, and the explosion of heat is a bit too exaggerated, as if someone is behind the scenes to fuel the flames."

Xu Cang opened his eyes suddenly: "Is there such a possibility?"

"Of course, when it comes to news, you are less sensitive. This is indeed a bit strange."

Xu Cang frowned: "Is that so? Lend me your cell phone, and I'll call Shuyue."

"No, she can't answer the phone."

Xu Cang was taken aback: "Why?"

"She has returned to China." Qin Xin looked at her watch: "If there is nothing wrong, she should already be on the plane by this time."

"Going back to China?" Xu Cang was stunned, Xia Shuyue didn't tell him about it at all.

At the same time, in the office of the manager of the base building of the Xianchi branch.

After hanging up the phone with Xu Cang, Yi Feng put the phone on the table in such a big way.Just now, he answered the call from AVIC in front of Gong Yue, and also called Xu Cang in front of Gong Yue.

At this moment, Yi Feng felt extremely confident.

Now, the three-rotor technology and high-temperature alloys of domestic aero-engines have been overcome, leaving only Pratt & Whitney's planetary gear technology, and according to Xu Cang, Pratt & Whitney's problem is not too big.As a result, the future of aero engines has become increasingly clear.

Even a problem as big as an aero engine can be solved, and Gong Yue's affairs are not even a small hurdle.

As long as the mind is opened, the world feels wider in an instant.

Before coming to Xianchi, Yi Feng was even a little nervous, but now his mood is much calmer.

"Yi Feng, maybe I'm being impolite when I say that. What is the high-temperature alloy you mentioned just now?" Gong Yue couldn't help being curious after waiting for Yi Feng to end the call.He is a professional in civil aviation, and he first thought of high-temperature alloy materials for aero-engines.

However, the last breakthrough of domestic superalloy materials has been traced back to 20 years ago.The lack of high-temperature materials is also a major factor restricting aero-engines, but according to Yifeng, it seems that new breakthroughs have been made, and even the grades have come out.

Yi Feng smiled lightly: "Of course it is a nickel-based superalloy, which will be used in aero-engines in the future."

The success of high-temperature alloys is a foregone conclusion, but it still takes some time for mass production. This is not a big problem, and it only needs time to optimize the process.Therefore, it doesn't matter if I mention it to Gong Yue in advance.

Gong Yue pursed his lips and asked tentatively, "What does it mean to use it on an aero-engine?"

"You should have heard the rumors about Xu Cang. Xu Cang wants to develop a domestically-made aero-engine. Not long ago, Xu Cang had obtained the three-rotor technology transfer from Luo Luo. Now that the difficulty of high-temperature alloys has been broken through, the rest is Only Pratt & Whitney's planetary gear technology is available, and the solution is imminent." Yi Feng said: "In the foreseeable future, our Cangqing Group will launch the first domestic top-level aero-engine."

Gong Yue was startled: "Cangqing Group?"

"That's right! Soon, we will reorganize our business and establish Cangqing Group." Yi Feng's face was a little serious: "Mr. Gong Yue, I came here this time to bring you a gift."

Gong Yue frowned: "What?"

"Xu Cang has obtained the approval of the General Administration. In the future, the General Administration will approve the registration quota of Northwest Airlines. As long as you want, the Xianchi branch can become Northwest Airlines at any time."

"Northwest Airlines!" Gong Yue's eyes widened: "How is it possible that the General Administration can agree to establish Northwest Airlines?"

"As long as Xu Cang thinks, why not?" Yi Feng said with a smile, "How about this gift?"

Gong Yue pondered for a moment, suppressed the excitement in his heart, and said calmly: "Xu Cang wants to use the name of Northwest Airlines to fool me? Cang’s pawn, that’s absolutely impossible, you underestimate me.”

"Do you think Xu Cang needs to fool you?" Yi Feng laughed after hearing this: "Xu Cang's idea is that as long as you can complete the business targets set by the headquarters every year and hand over a certain percentage of profits, and at the same time cooperate with some funds allocated by the headquarters For the rest of the time, we will not interfere with you in any way. In the end, we will not send personnel to station, and all personnel appointments of the Xianchi branch will be left to you to decide on your own."

When he heard the last sentence, Gong Yue was stunned.

"You mean to retain our right to appoint and remove personnel?" Gong Yue could hardly believe his ears.

One of the most important means for the head office to control its subsidiaries is to have the right to appoint and remove personnel. Unless it is a very tough subsidiary, the head office can rely on the right to appoint and remove personnel.

When the Xianchi branch was still in Muhua Airlines, Gong Yue let Ma Cheng suck his own blood, in exchange for Muhua headquarters not having too much personnel intervention in the Xianchi branch.

But when it comes to Xu Cang's side, according to Yi Feng's opinion, the headquarters will not suck the blood of the branch, and the right to appoint and remove personnel will be completely delegated. Such conditions are simply too generous.

"Isn't Xu Cang afraid that I'll be big?" Gong Yue asked the core question.

There is neither a huge financial burden nor the almost absolute power to appoint and remove personnel, which means that Gong Yue has sufficient funds to buy employees in the branch, and at the same time, he can use the power to appoint and remove personnel to place his own people in key positions.

As long as Gong Yue is willing, within three years, he can build the branch into his own kingdom.

Isn't Xu Cang afraid of this?
However, Yi Feng was not timid at all: "Actually, I also had such worries at the beginning. But now I don't have such worries. People need to broaden their horizons."

Gong Yue narrowed his eyes: "What do you mean?"

"What do you mean? Mr. Gong Yue, don't you understand?" Yi Feng smiled and said, "Xu Cang won't play tricks with you. In his eyes, you are no longer worth spending more energy on, so you He will give you everything you want. However, he can give you everything, and he can take everything back. If you can perform your duties well, then Northwest Airlines can always exist. If not, he doesn’t mind destroying it. , it's that simple."

At this moment, Yi Feng can finally appreciate Xu Cang's vision when he was standing on a high place. How can there be so many dogs, so think about it?

Gong Yue has no personal feelings for Xu Cang, so if he does well, he will be rewarded, and if he does not, he will be punished. There are not so many twists and turns.

Gong Yue's eyelids twitched wildly: "Xu Cang doesn't take me seriously anymore?"

"Although he didn't tell me that directly." Yi Feng smiled: "But I feel that yes, you are not worthy to be his opponent."

As he said that, Yi Feng raised a finger and said jokingly: "Of course, you don't have to believe it, you can try to touch it. From my personal point of view, I want you to try it even more."

"Huh?" Gong Yue's nasal voice raised: "What do you mean by that?"

Yi Feng's eyes suddenly shot a cold light: "There are rumors that Mr. Si met you before his condition suddenly deteriorated. It is true that Mr. Si is not in good health, but the sudden deterioration seems very strange."

"Yi Feng!" Gong Yue yelled suddenly: "You have been with Yue Sheng for so many years, haven't you learned what is polite?"

"Gong Yue, don't you feel bad? Otherwise, with your character, the chaotic moment of Muhua Aviation's power transfer is the best time for you to take advantage of the situation. However, not only did you not move at all, you also accepted it calmly. Is it because you feel guilty?" Yi Feng stared at Gong Yue with piercing eyes: "There are many people in this world who are sorry for you, but Si Lao has a clear conscience towards you. My life is a hundred years old, so I can't protect you all the time."

Gong Yue's mouth trembled twice, as if he had aged ten years, and finally he could only sigh in regret: "I don't want to be like this either."

Of course, if it is said that Si Weimin's death has any direct relationship with Gong Yue, that's not the case.Si Weimin was already in a dying state before he left, and he was still working hard on Muhua Airlines.

Even without Gong Yue's stimulation, he himself would not have much time left.

However, it would certainly be unreasonable to say that it doesn't matter, after all, Gong Yue sped up the process a little.

Gong Yue was dissatisfied with many people, especially many high-level executives of Muhua Airlines, which swallowed Northwest Airlines, but he was the only one who cast his eyes on Si Weimin.From being at a loss when he learned that Si Weimin was critically ill, to being occupied by crazy thoughts for a while before his death, wanting to take advantage of the chaos to be independent, to the boundless guilt in his heart after calming down.

In the end, he decided to frankly accept Si Weimin's end-of-life arrangement and separate the Xianchi branch from Muhua Airlines and merge it into Spring and Summer Airlines.

"If you weren't so paranoid, maybe Muhua Airlines would be yours now." Yi Feng sighed.

No matter in terms of qualifications, ability, or even personal morality, Gong Yue surpassed Ma Cheng by a lot.Gong Yue has no bad habits, he has clear rewards and punishments, and has a strong personal charm. The only thing is that he has too much obsession with Northwest Airlines.

If Muhua Airlines is handed over to Gong Yue, maybe Gong Yue can do something stupid.Even if Si Weimin agrees, the rest of Muhua Aviation's board of directors may be unwilling to do so.

"There is no if." After Yi Feng mentioned Si Weimin, Gong Yue seemed to be exhausted, and he spoke weakly: "You go back and talk to Xu Cang, I am willing to accept his arrangement. "

Regarding such a painful topic as Si Weimin, Yi Feng was unwilling to talk too much. He just hummed with a cold face: "When the group is established, we will issue specific requirements for you. In addition, there is another Xu Cang specifically explained the matter. The group now has a fresh fruit air transport business, which transports fresh fruits from the northwest to the eastern coast. In the future, this business will be handed over to you. However, this is just a chance for you to try it out. Future Group You will develop high-end aviation logistics business. One of Xu Cang’s requests to you is to take advantage of this fresh fruit transportation opportunity to gradually build up a dedicated aviation logistics fleet.”

Gong Yue was taken aback for a moment: "Xu Cang wants us to transfer freight?"

"Yes, but only some of the aircraft. You can gradually increase the size of the cargo fleet according to your business needs. This is your sole decision. As for the cargo permit, we will solve it."

"But... can freight transport make money?" Gong Yue paused for a while: "I mean, can air freight make money?"

"Er..." This question really stumped Yi Feng. To be honest, he didn't know how to explain it to Gong Yue. In the end, he only uttered one sentence: "Xu Cang said...it can make money."

These words are like a master key, if there is any lock that can't be opened, or any problem that can't be answered, just push it all to Xu Cang.

The muscles on Gong Yue's face twitched twice, and he could only express that it was difficult to refute, and accepted the task of forming a cargo fleet.

"Right, one more thing."

"Anything else?" Gong Yue frowned, but there were a lot of nice words in front of him, about decentralization, why are things one after another now.However, Gong Yue still asked patiently: "What?"

"In the near future, President Qin will go to the United States. Your Xianchi branch needs to send seven to ten reliable maintenance personnel to accompany you, and you will go to Victorville later."

"Victorville, the aircraft cemetery?" Gong Yue was startled: "What are you doing there?"

"Of course I'm looking for planes." Yi Feng didn't say much: "Chunxia Airlines' maintenance skills are not good enough, and they can't recruit so many backbones, so I can only let you come. With the size of the Xianchi branch, seven to ten A famous elite pilot should be able to do it, right?"

"It's okay..." Obviously Gong Yue's mind is not on any maintenance: "I mean Tao... the plane is..."

"You don't have to worry about it." Yi Feng smiled and said, "Xu Cang said that the General Administration has agreed to hand over the Northwest to him, and you will be responsible for the Northwest in the future. If you want to realize your dream in the Northwest, then It's up to you, but you have to remember that when Xu Cang assigns you a task, you must complete it. This is your only value. Of course, with Xu Cang's temperament, he will not intentionally give you a task that cannot be completed. "

"Give me the Northwest?" Gong Yue still felt a little unreal.

"In the future, the General Administration will hand over Rongfu Airport to us. Rongfu Airport will guard the southwest, and the Southwest will be in our pocket. However, the northwest is sparsely populated, and there is no hub airport that can radiate all. When the government and enterprises were separated, the original base of Northwest Airlines was not in the center of the Northwest, but in Xianchi, the gateway to the Northwest. And you were born in the Northwest, and you have a deep foundation in the Northwest. Handing over the Northwest to you will give you It saves us a lot of trouble."

"It's that simple?"

Yi Feng smiled and said, "It's that simple, what questions do you have?"

Gong Yue originally wanted to say something, but he opened his mouth and still didn't say anything.

It seemed that Xu Cang really didn't take him seriously.

"I see, I will do what he said." Gong Yue said calmly.

Yi Feng nodded: "Very good! When Mr. Qin returns from the United States, there will be a ceremony for the establishment of the group. At that time, Mr. Gong Yue will pay a respectful glance."

Gong Yue lowered his head: "It's my honor."

On September [-], two days before the U.S. stock market opened, the small conference room on the top floor of ANA was filled with roars from Managing Director Rinkazu Kamikawa.

In the conference room, ANA executives gathered together, the president Guan Yueling had a serious face, and a copy of the Asahi Shimbun newspaper was placed in front of each director.

This leading newspaper in Japan reported the interview with Xu Cang in the form of a full-page headline.And the title of this interview is extremely dazzling for the senior management of ANA.

Letter: The hero's regret, the perfidious ANA.
