Return to 2000: Captain of the Great Powers

Xu Cang asked Qin Xin what happened, but Qin Xin didn't say anything, just covered his face and wept, heartbroken.

Seeing Qin Xin's appearance, Xu Cang also had a headache.However, looking at this situation, there is a high probability that his life is not in danger. He must have suffered a lot, otherwise Qin Xin would not have stayed in Erhai.

Qin Xin didn't want to talk, and Xu Cang didn't want to ask. He could only say a few words of comfort, sighing secretly that nothing in this world was perfect.

In the following days, Qin Xin was not in a good mood, but she looked normal, which made Xu Cang heave a sigh of relief.

Soon after, Yi Feng came forward as a representative to make an acquisition with Phoenix Aviation School, and finally completed the acquisition of Phoenix Aviation School at a price of [-] million.

As soon as Phoenix Aviation School was acquired, Xu Cang signed a purchase order with AVIC for a batch of training aircraft.AVIC's large commercial aircraft is a bit difficult, but the small aircraft of its peers are still capable of flying, and their technical content is not high.

A major problem of Phoenix Aviation Academy is that the training equipment is outdated, and students often wait for aircraft maintenance, which is a waste of time.After replacing a batch of new training aircraft, the progress of training has been greatly increased.

In addition, in view of the fact that there are not many student orders recently, Xu Cang adopted the school retention system, that is, he selected outstanding pilots from a group of pilot students, and signed contracts with them to stay in school to teach on a voluntary basis.It is very common for outstanding students to stay in school to teach in foreign countries, Xu Cang just introduced them into China.

There are not many orders from students now, and there is just enough energy to train future aviation school instructors. Otherwise, when the civil aviation industry booms again, aviation school instructors will be scarce at that time, and they will be harder to grab than students, so they need to prepare ahead of time.

After Phoenix Aviation School joins, it will join Xu Cang's newly established simulator training center and flight attendant training base to form Cangqing Flight Training. At the same time, Xu Cang has slightly stopped investing.

Now is Xu Cang's last period of financial difficulties, Xu Cang has a lot of stalls, and there is still a lot of loan pressure.Although there is a lot of income, most of them are in the development stage, and the profitability has not yet been released. The biggest income now is the money that was continuously remitted from saving the large number of rich people in Europe.

However, as long as we wait another half a year or so, mainly because the assets acquired by the United States will start to operate normally, the financial situation will be much better.

For example, the acquisition of Bombardier's business itself did not cost much, mainly to assume its debt.However, debt can be discussed, and for Xu Cang, who has excellent future profitability, the pressure is not very great.

In addition, a lot of funds can be obtained by transferring part of the 777 orders.

All in all, we have no plans to expand our business territory within the next six months. Keep it in mind. When the funds are sufficient in half a year, it will be time to invest in Munich Re.

In the spring of the following year, Shanghai Xinmu Fruit Industry completed the installation of the fruit drying production line, and the former company employees rejoined the company, which calmed the villagers' work problems. From then on, Xu Cang's fresh fruits were no longer hindered.

Soon after, Xu Cang's fresh fruit transportation was handed over to the newly established Northwest Airlines, and it was rumored that Northwest Airlines was already planning a cargo fleet of seven 737-300 aircraft.

After settling the matter in Shanghai, Cangqing Group was registered and established in Rongfu, with jurisdiction over Cangqing Airlines, Cangqing Logistics, Cangqing Technology, Cangqing Industrial, Cangqing Investment, Cangqing Flight Training, and Cangqing General .

Among them, all the airlines controlled by Cangqing Aviation Management Group, including Spring Airlines, Northwest Airlines, Kingfisher Airlines, Asiana Airlines, and Japanese domestic transport airlines (Jiasu Airlines), are in charge of this sector.

Cangqing Logistics is currently the smallest in scale, mainly composed of a cargo fleet separated from Northwest Airlines. However, the size of this fleet will definitely increase significantly in the future.Of course, because the scale of this sector is too small now, its person in charge is temporarily concurrently held by Gong Yue from Northwest Airlines. Later, when the business scale of Cangqing Logistics increases, there will be another appointment in the future.

Cangqing Technology includes Liu Jinxin’s pharmaceutical company, the soon-to-be-established Cangqing-Royce Engine Repair Factory, Cangqing Commercial Engine Co., Ltd., Cangqing Commercial Aircraft Co., Ltd., and aviation materials business, as well as some technologies acquired by Xu Cang Related companies, such as Apple and Google, and the Bombardier aircraft business that will be merged soon will also be temporarily merged into Cangqing Technology.

Cangqing Technology is the core sector of Cangqing Group and will be directly led by Xu Cang.

Cangqing Industry includes all the real estate under Xu Cang's name, including Jeju Island, the Obiro Manor that will be merged in the future, the hotel airport in Jinghong, and the second airport in Jianchuan City, Dianyun, and finally It is the industry of Pangyo New City in Seoul that has already begun to lay out.

For the time being, Li Rongcheng is in charge of this sector.However, Li Rongcheng himself is not good at this kind of business. He just can't find anyone for the time being, so he will wait for now.

Cangqing Investment is the investment part of the group. It has the most abundant capital flow, which is used to acquire various assets around the world and conduct financial operations. The person in charge is naturally Xiao Lingyun.

Cangqing flight training is composed of Phoenix Aviation School, simulator center and flight attendant training base, and Lu Jinghua is in charge.

The last Cangqing General Motors is actually only one part, that is Chen Huaxin's helicopter company.

Compared with other sections, this section is very small, and it was not even planned to be established in the original plan, but Xu Cang insisted on dividing it. He felt that Chen Huaxin should not like being controlled by others.According to the plan, Huaxin Helicopter Company should be merged into the aviation sector, but in view of the exaggerated size of Huaxin Haizhi in the future, Xu Cang feels that it only takes time to accumulate, and Chen Huaxin can support a sector by himself.

Cangqing Group has already reserved a place for the business that may be merged in the future, and the rest is to wait quietly.

The beginning of spring in 2002 was much colder than in previous years. However, compared to the biting cold outside, the atmosphere in Xu Cang's office was extremely warm. The source of this was Xiao Lingyun who had just returned from the United States.

"Xu Cang, can you think of it? In more than three months, Apple's stock price has tripled, and it continues to rise." Xiao Lingyun said excitedly: "It is a foregone conclusion that the iPod will end the era of Sony's Walkman. The U.S. economy is still sluggish, but Apple has bucked the trend and appears too dazzling. A large amount of capital is extremely optimistic about Apple. In addition, according to current news from various parties, the third round of interest rate cuts will begin soon. I will apply for a loan from the bank based on the situation. of."

Xu Cang said with a smile: "Just watch it, I don't care. There is still some pressure on the repayment in Europe. If possible, you can go to Europe to see if you can change the repayment plan and extend the repayment period. Properly raise interest rates."

Xiao Lingyun was in a good mood at this moment: "Yes, no trouble."

"In addition to Apple, Google has also slowed down, and there are several other companies that are developing very well. Xu Cang, your vision is still as good as ever. These companies can bring us a lot of money in the future." Xiao Ling Yun smiled and said: "The European bank should agree to our situation after seeing our situation. After all, water flows forever."

"The most obvious thing now is that Apple's stock price has risen too fast. As long as the repayment pressure on the European side is resolved, there will be no major shortage of funds in the future."

In fact, Xiao Lingyun's imagination is still too narrow. In the future, Apple will not only solve the capital shortage of Cangqing Group, but will become the world's leading high-tech enterprise.

Xiao Lingyun is right, the shortage of funds will only last about half a year.

"By the way, Bombardier has already done everything. However, because of the establishment of the group, the subject of some agreements will be transferred from Chunxia Airlines to Cangqing Group. The agreement needs to be changed separately. The problem is very small and it will be settled within a week."

Xu Cang nodded: "Bombardier's affairs should all be over, and the introduction of Boeing's 757 production line has also been negotiated. Later, you and Li Rongcheng will go together to finalize the matter."

"Li Rongcheng?" Xiao Lingyun smiled and said, "Wouldn't it be difficult for him to go to Boeing?"

"How long has it been, what are you still waiting for?"

"Okay!" Xiao Lingyun was full of ambition: "This time I will go to the United States and wait for a while to raise funds. I will take care of the Bombardier and Boeing matters."

"Well, it's hard work." Xu Cang paused: "Bombardier's aircraft business and those American companies are all in North America. Now there is only one office there, so I'm afraid it won't be able to handle it. After the group stabilizes, I will start to set up the American headquarters, and then part of the investment sector will follow, after all, it is more convenient to invest there, and then, you can sit there for a long time."

Xiao Lingyun had no doubts about where to work, and readily agreed.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door, and then a woman's voice came in from outside the door: "Mr. Xu, the president of Asiana Airlines is looking for you."

Xu Cang raised his eyebrows: "Let him come in."

Soon, the chairman of Asiana Airlines, Li Mingji, pushed the door open, and after entering, he respectfully shouted: "President!"

Chairman is the title in Korea, which is somewhat similar to chairman in China.

Xu Cang didn't care much about such things and pointed to a seat: "Sit down."

Li Mingji glanced at Xiao Lingyun first, and then found a seat to sit down.

"President, I have won the exclusive sponsorship of the South Korean national team according to your wishes, and have formulated a series of promotional plans during the World Cup based on your opinions. Please have a look." Li Mingji, who had just sat down, said to Xu Cang submitted a propaganda draft.

Xu Cang casually flipped through it and didn't read it again. As long as the South Korean team can make a historic breakthrough in the World Cup as the assumption, this kind of propaganda is too easy to do.

Nationalism is very prevalent in South Korea. The South Korean team can achieve the semi-finals in the World Cup.

But the question is, can the Korean team achieve a historic breakthrough?

Xu Cang hummed: "Yes, you can! Let's do it like this."

Li Mingji was a little cautious: "President, during this period of time, he spent a lot of money to win the exclusive sponsorship of the Korean team. In addition, you also know the follow-up publicity funds. Our Asiana's financial situation has not been very good."

"That's fine, I'll give you the money." Xu Cang smiled and said, "However, apart from the World Cup sponsorship, there is one more thing that needs your special attention. I told you about the Banqiao New City developed by New Seoul. What about the development rights? Have you got it?"

Li Mingji sweated on his forehead: "The Banqiao New City project is far inferior to the New Five Towns project, but there are still some competitors."

"Then use money to open the way. I will specifically inform the group's finance department." Xu Cang said indifferently suddenly: "I will not give you a cent of the money that should be used, but if you stretch out your hand that you shouldn't , then don’t blame me for being rude.”

Li Mingji nodded quickly: "I know, I know, I will order Hana Construction to fight for the development rights of Banqiao New Town with all my strength."

"Well." Xu Cang nodded: "Also, let your marketing department send a specialist to come over. In the future, the group's internal ticket settlement for China-Korea routes will not go through our company, but the group will be responsible for it."

In fact, Xu Cang had already revealed this matter to Li Mingji before, but if Asiana Airlines sent a commissioner to come, it means that it has reached the real planning stage, and it is not an idea.

Li Mingji opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't object: "I see."

Xu Cang leaned back: "Don't worry, besides you, Japanese domestic logistics companies will also join in the future, not for Asiana."

Li Mingji sighed softly and said nothing more.

Xu Cang's momentum has been established, and it is useless for him to object.

In April, Cangqing-Roro-Royce engine maintenance factory settled in the suburb of Rongfu. At the same time, Cangqing Group announced that Cangqing-Roro-Royce engine maintenance was included in the Cangqing Technology segment.

In May, the United States started the third round of interest rate cuts. In view of Apple's strong performance in the past six months, bank lending is extremely generous, and the capital market has begun to favor Apple again.In addition, the recovery momentum of the other five companies is obvious. In May, the North American headquarters of Cangqing Group raised a total of more than 20 billion US dollars in funds.

In Europe, after negotiation, the repayment date of bank loans was extended by appropriately raising the interest rate.

With the saved funds, Cangqing Group began to inject capital into the already weak German Munich Reinsurance Company.At the same time, Obiro, the top European manor, announced that it has become an asset of Cangqing Group and assigned to Cangqing Industry.

At the end of May of the same year, the Korea-Japan World Cup kicked off. The Korean team made a historic appearance in the semi-finals, shocking the whole country. As the exclusive sponsor of the Korean team, Asiana Airlines benefited a lot and reversed the decline in one fell swoop.In August of the same year, a subsidiary of Asiana Group announced that it would become one of the major developers of Banqiao New Town in Seoul.

At the end of 2002, the A350 project, which had been known as a "garbage collection" before, was officially announced, and it unexpectedly won the favor of a large number of airlines.

On December 31, Cangqing Commercial Engine Co., Ltd. was established and released a short introduction of the first self-developed engine "Origin" series.

On January 2003, 150, Cangqing Commercial Aircraft Co., Ltd. was established and planned to launch C180 series aircraft with 100 to [-] seats.
