Return to 2000: Captain of the Great Powers

Chapter 428 It's Just Designing an Airplane, I Will Do It Too!

In the office of Chunxia Airlines Erhai base, Yi Feng, who had returned from Xianchi, was chatting with Duan Lang.

During this period, Duan Lang spent most of his time on the construction of Yulong Civil Airport. This time, Yi Feng specially called Duan Lang back.

"How long will it take for the construction of Yulong's airport?" Yi Feng poured a cup of tea for Duan Lang and pushed it in front of Duan Lang.

Duan Lang is a hearty person, so he took it very straightforwardly, flicked the wall of the cup, felt the temperature of the water, it was still extremely hot, so he waited for a while, and said with a smile: "Yulong Airport is not big, and it was built very quickly. The only difficulty is The transportation of some materials. However, with the help of the local government, the progress has exceeded expectations, and it is estimated that there are still seven or eight months."

"Boss Yi." A meaningful smile flashed across Duan Lang's dark face: "You called me here from Yulong on purpose, shouldn't you just ask about the construction progress of Yulong Airport?"

Yi Feng laughed: "You are very busy, it's nothing serious, and I won't let you make a special trip. Duan Lang, Jinghong Airport will be fully finished within a month or two, even if there are some repairs They are all small places, so there is nothing to worry about, so can some of the construction team in Jinghong be withdrawn?"

Duan Lang nodded: "That's right. Xu Cang will build a hotel in Jinghong later. The hotel's construction standards and difficulty are lower than those of the airport, and the project volume is also small. It really doesn't need so many people."

Xu Cang had discussed with Manager Meng of Jinghong Airport before, and after coordination, the local government was willing to grant Xu Cang a piece of land to build a hotel in order to cooperate with the development of the local tourism industry.

At least for now, the prospect of tourism in Jinghong is very bright, and hotel construction is a win-win for the local area and Xu Cang.

Therefore, after the reconstruction of Jinghong Airport, its engineering team can take over the local hotel project.However, as Duan Lang and Yi Feng said, there is no need for so many people, and it is estimated that some people will be withdrawn.

"However, Mr. Yi, why did you suddenly ask this?"

Yi Feng stroked the wall of the teacup with his finger: "Duan Lang, if you can take some of the backbone of the Yulong Airport construction team, is it feasible?"

Duan Lang froze for a moment: "Is there something else?"

"That's right." Yi Feng hummed: "The General Administration has already promised us that the priority of Rongfu Airport will be given to us, but as a condition, the headquarters of our Cangqing Group must be located in Rongfu, and the engine maintenance The factory will also be located in Rongfu. In terms of construction, we have cooperated with you for a long time, and you can trust that if you find it convenient, the project in Rongfu will also be entrusted to you."

"Then the base on the Erhai Lake...wasn't it built for nothing?" Duan Lang looked a little embarrassed.

Yi Feng waved his hand: "Who would have thought that it would develop so fast? But, it's okay, Jianchuan doesn't plan to build a base, and Erhai side will take care of the role of Jianchuan base, and the investment of Erhai base is also Not too big. Why, can the manpower be freed?"

"Some people can be drawn from both sides of Jinghong Airport and Yulong Airport, but since it is the headquarters of the group, the project volume is probably not small, and I guess the manpower is still not enough."

Duan Lang knew about Xu Cang's business integration and the establishment of Cangqing Group.

Moreover, Duan Lang knew that Xu Cang's stall was very large. Once the Cangqing Group was established, it must be of a huge scale, so as the headquarters of the group, it must be magnificent enough.

Not to mention that in addition to the group headquarters, there is also an engine project, and the construction standards of that thing are not small.

In addition, Duan Lang had never taken over the work of an engine repair factory, and he didn't know if there were any special requirements for this kind of project. The pressure was still quite heavy, and the manpower drawn from the two airports was definitely not enough.

"Do you want to expand the engineering team?" Yi Feng asked, "Do you need our help?"

Duan Lang pondered for a while: "If we want to follow your request, we must expand the engineering team. Now I have absolutely not enough people under my command."

"That's it." Yi Feng put down his teacup: "Duan Lang, there is something I've always wanted to tell you. Although we have been working together very happily, there is a gap in communication after all. Before, Xu Cang also asked I have expressed this kind of idea, that is, if you are willing, the group will set up a special department in the future to be responsible for various construction tasks related to the group, and you will be the person in charge of this department."

Duan Lang seemed not surprised by this proposal, he picked up his teacup and said, "Let me work for Xu Cang full-time."

"No, no, don't have such thoughts. You know Xu Cang, he has always regarded you as a friend, not a subordinate." Yi Feng quickly explained: "Now you are basically picking us up For a long time in the future, you still have a lot of projects to undertake, so you can simply join the group directly, which is also convenient for communication and cost management.”

"Xu Cang's thoughts. I know."

Duan Lang hesitated, and just about to say, Yi Feng's cell phone rang suddenly.

Yi Feng subconsciously took out his mobile phone, glanced at it, and planned to hang up.However, Duan Lang smiled and said: "It's okay, you can take it."

Yi Feng reacted, and immediately smiled knowingly, it seems that the matter is done.

After answering the phone, Gao Cen, director of aircraft materials, heard the voice from the opposite side: "Boss Yi, Luo Tianrong has taken the bait."

Yi Feng opened his eyes slightly: "Are you sure?"

"Sure!" Gao Cen said firmly: "Tianrong Aviation Materials has agreed to our order, and I can't be wrong when I look at Qiao Lin just now. Mr. Yi, you should know who Qiao Lin is."

Of course Yi Feng knew what kind of person Qiao Lin was. He was a fool without a brain and couldn't hide anything.

Since Tianrong Aviation Materials has already received the order, if the production capacity of the shadow factory is not opened, it will definitely not be able to meet the order requirements. In this way, Luo Tianrong finally did not hold back.

"This guy is a ghost, it really took a lot of effort."

If it weren't for Gong Yue's cooperation in acting, it is estimated that Luo Tianrong would not necessarily be hooked after fishing for more than half a year.

"Boss Yi, as soon as the factory over there starts working, it will be easy to catch up." Gao Cen said, "Shall I go and prepare?"

Yi Feng smiled and said: "Okay, you are responsible for this matter. It just so happens that the group is about to be established. Before the group is established, the aviation materials market will be cleaned up in one fell swoop."

"Yes, I see."

"carry on."

The call was very brief, and when Yi Feng hung up the phone, there was still a smile on his face.Duan Lang saw it, and then laughed: "It seems that some kind of happy event has happened?"

"It's not a big happy event. It's just that there is a fish that is very slippery. I finally caught it today, so I am happy." Yi Feng didn't care much about Tianrong Aviation Materials. Although the aviation material market is not small, it is not an indispensable and important part, at most it is a supplement for the icing on the cake, but Yi Feng is very unhappy with Luo Tianrong, seeing that he is about to suffer, he feels very comfortable.

Duan Lang said with a smile: "I feel like Mr. Yi, you are taking pleasure in other's misfortune."

"Do I have it?" Mr. Yi pinched his face: "If there is, then it must be."

At this moment, Gao Cen had just hung up the phone in the stairwell of the Tianrong Aviation Materials office building.Not long after, he heard footsteps coming, and in about three or four seconds, Qiao Lin's figure protruded from the corner.

"What are you doing here?" Jolin was a little surprised.

Gao Cen lifted the half of the cigarette held between his fingers: "I'm addicted to cigarettes."

"Look for a spacious place, isn't it too boring here?" Qiao Lin walked over with a smile, and patted Gao Cen on the shoulder: "It's thanks to you this time, I have to thank you very much."

"Thank you for what?" Gao Cen also handed Qiao Lin a cigarette: "I have to thank you."

In the international arrival hall of Montreal Airport in Quebec, Canada, Xu Cang walked out of the exit slowly with a somewhat tired body.

Among the crowd who picked up the plane, Xu Cang saw Qin Xin in a black windbreaker at a glance.

Qin Xin is tall and slender, with a unique temperament, which is very conspicuous.

"Are you tired?" Qin Xin went up to Xu Cang, and seeing Xu Cang's tired face, was quite heartbroken, and took the suitcase from Xu Cang's hand.

Xu Cang yawned: "At this moment, I feel the necessity of the existence of the Concorde. Who can bear it if it sits for more than ten hours?"

"When you have money in the future, buy a private jet, renovate the interior, and put a bed in it." Qin Xin laughed.

"That's right. When Bombardier is accepted, their Global series of business jets will look good to me." Xu Cang felt his eyelids trembling, and began to close uncontrollably, fearing that he might not be able to hold on.

"Don't sleep yet, sleep in the hotel." Qin Xin pinched Xu Cang's ears: "It's cold here, don't sleep and freeze."

"Oh." Xu Cang agreed well, and lifted Qin Xin's windbreaker coat with both hands, hugged Qin Xin's waist, and leaned on Qin Xin like a koala: "Okay, it's warm. "

Qin Xin was really helpless, but she didn't say anything, and just let Xu Cang hug her.

However, it is very troublesome to walk with someone hanging on the body, making the two of them walk very slowly.

Xu Cang hugged Qin Xin's soft waist very comfortably, and felt more sleepy, but all of a sudden, he felt that Qin Xin's body stopped suddenly.

"What's wrong?" Xu Cang turned his head and glanced at Qin Xin.

Qin Xin looked forward and took a picture of Xu Cang's arms embracing her: "It seems that someone is looking for you."

"Huh?" Xu Cang rubbed his eyes, followed Qin Xin's gaze, and saw a tall man standing in front of him.

After meeting his eyes, the man bowed very politely: "Mr. Xu Cang, hello, I'm Starley Varick, head of Airbus Americas."

"Airbus?" Xu Cang straightened up slightly: "Are you looking for me?"

"Yes!" Starley Varik nodded: "I'm very sorry, Mr. Xu Cang. Because of some urgent matters, we had to investigate your itinerary. I hope you can understand."

Xu Cang shrugged: "What can I do if I don't understand, anyway, you all came here."

With that said, Xu Cang pointed to a rest area in the corner not far away.

The landing time was after midnight, and there were few people in the arrival hall. The rest area was dimly lit, and no one was there, which was just right for talking.

Starley Varik had no objection: "Mr. Xu Cang, please go first."

Xu Cang was not polite, and led Qin Xin to the front, and when he arrived, he found a random place to sit down.

Starley Varik's posture was very low, Xu Cang sat down, but he didn't sit down, but stood aside.

Xu Cang tightened his clothes slightly: "Tell me, what's the matter?"

"Mr. Xu Cang, I heard that you are going to acquire Bombardier's aircraft business?" Starley Varik asked.

"You guys are very well informed." Xu Cang was a little surprised.

It has been less than 24 hours since Ren Valette verbally agreed to spin off the aircraft business. In such a short period of time, Airbus not only got the news, but also sent someone to find it in person. This efficiency is a bit too exaggerated .

Starley Warrick said: "In business, the speed of news is the most important thing. Compared with this matter, I wonder what will happen to the CS300 aircraft after Mr. Xu Cang acquires Bombardier's aircraft business? "

"You have a good question." Xu Cang laughed: "Of course, we can sell them as we want. Otherwise, what am I doing buying their aircraft business? Is it fun?"

"Is it still going to be sold to Europe?"

"I said Mr. Warrick." Xu Cang raised his eyebrows: "Do you need me to say it again? If you are worried about the market competition of A319, then my answer is the same as what you are worried about. CS300 will indeed follow A319 forms a direct competitive relationship. Don’t you encourage free trade, isn’t this what you advocate?”

Starley Varik's face froze: "Mr. Xu Cang, it's actually not good for you to be like this."

"What's not so good?" Xu Cang said with a smile: "Why, you still want to join Pratt & Whitney for sanctions? But don't worry, I have a lot of engines in stock, so you can sanction them."

Previously, Xu Cang placed a large order for PW6000 engines with Pratt & Whitney.

Even if Airbus wants to cooperate with Pratt & Whitney for sanctions, it will definitely not move the signed orders, otherwise, even if it cuts off Pratt & Whitney's financial resources, Airbus does not have the power to completely influence Pratt & Whitney's decision.

As for other things, the substitution is higher than the engine.Airbus has great energy, but it is not enough to choke off all the upstream parts supply, so Xu Cang doesn't care much about the threat of Airbus.

However, Starley Varik's tone didn't seem very harsh when he said it was a threat, and he didn't seem to care much about Xu Cang's words.

"Since Mr. Xu Cang has made a decision, we should respect it." Starley Varik said lightly.

"Huh?" Xu Cang was a little surprised, this Airbus didn't even say harsh words, just asked a question, and then disappeared?This is not in line with the domineering style of Airbus.

Xu Cang looked at Starley Varik suspiciously, and frowned: "Airbus. Something went wrong?"

The muscles on Starley Warrick's face twitched twice: "Mr. Xu Cang, the funding of the Shengming Fund has been cut off. Now the A350 project is in trouble. Before that, Nicholas Halliway of the Shengming Fund had mentioned about the A350 Everything is up to you to decide, including the design direction. Today, Shengming Fund only provides one-third of the agreed funds, and it is impossible for us to test every design direction, we can only determine one, and then keep going. "

"This decision is very difficult, but it must be made by Mr. Xu Cang yourself."

Xu Cang frowned even tighter: "Are you shirking responsibility?"

"No, this is what the Shengming Fund agreed with us before." Starley Varik sighed: "If the funds are sufficient, we may be able to provide you with some options. However, the funds are now The situation is very tense, and our designers don’t know how to proceed. Then, the main direction of the design is up to you, and the consequences are naturally borne by you, Mr. Xu Cang. I know this is for people who are not professional in aircraft design It's hard to say, but"

"It doesn't matter!" Suddenly, Xu Cang sneered.

Starley Varik was taken aback: "Mr. Xu Cang, what did you say?"

"It's just to determine the design direction of the aircraft, not to carry out specific aircraft design." Xu Cang snorted: "Well, I will too!"
