Return to 2000: Captain of the Great Powers

Chapter 436 My name is Xu Qing! (season finale)

On April 2008, [-], Cangqing Shang flew to Tianning Base.

It is said that it is a Tianning base, which is actually not accurate, because this runway dedicated for test flights is very close to Tianning Airport and completely parallel to the two runways of Tianning Airport.In addition, there will be a taxiway connecting the runway at one end to the apron area of ​​Tianning Airport.

In normal times, this flight test runway is not open to the outside world, and is only used by Cangqing Commercial Aircraft Corporation itself.However, since Cangqing Commercial Aircraft signed an agreement with Tianning Airport, the control of Tianning Airport will also be responsible for directing Cangqing Commercial Aircraft’s test flight activities, and at the same time, the airport will also provide maintenance services for Cangqing Commercial Aircraft’s runway. In exchange, when Tianning Airport is too busy, Cangqing Commercial Aircraft's runway will be opened to Tianning Airport.

Tianning Airport has always been in a position of being neither high nor low among several large airports on the eastern coast.However, since Cangqing Commercial Aircraft established its test flight base here, some simple test flights will be conducted here from time to time. In order to see the "true face of Lushan" of domestically produced aircraft, many aircraft enthusiasts will choose to fly at Tianning Airport even if they take a detour. .

In terms of throughput, Tinian Airport has seen a lot of growth, but not so much.However, in terms of online fame, Tianning Airport is almost the first domestic airport, especially after someone took a video of a new domestic aircraft.

At this moment, in the open space in front of a small building next to Tianning Airport Group, Xu Cang, Qin Xin, Yi Feng and other high-level executives of Cangqing Group gathered here.

Today is the taxiing test of the domestic aircraft C100 after it is finalized. As a milestone event, Xu Cang must be present.

Today is a beautiful day, with no clouds in the sky and the soft sunshine falling down, making it very warm and comfortable.The sun here is much gentler than that in Jianchuan on the plateau. The ultraviolet rays in Jianchuan are too strong.However, this time it was a sliding test, and the weather requirements were not too high.

Xu Cang and Qin Xin were talking, Xu Cang had just returned from recuperation, and he didn't know much about some things.

"The day after tomorrow I'm going to cut the ribbon for the second phase of Dianyun Airport. If it's convenient for you, you might as well attend." Qin Xin whispered.

Jianchuan's second airport, Dianyun Airport, was completed a year ago, but it only includes the first phase of the project, and only the T1 terminal is built. According to the plan, there is also a T2 terminal and a satellite hall.The second phase of the project mentioned by Qin Xin is the construction of the T2 terminal.

Xu Cang squinted his eyes and looked at the blue sky: "Well, I will go for a while."

Several years passed, as if the imprint of time had not affected Xu Cang's face, he was still radiant, but his temperament was much calmer.

Qin Xin paused: "In addition, the electronic payment license has been obtained."

This time, Xu Cang had some special reaction. He turned to look at Qin Xin: "Then I have to go to Jianchuan. I want to have a face-to-face talk with Zhao Fei."

"Well, FlyTalk has grown into the number one instant chat software in China in the past two years, so we need to make good use of these user resources." Qin Xin said: "However, if according to what you mean, domestic Spring and Summer Airlines, South Korea's Asiana Airlines Payment sharing among the three domestic transportation companies in Japan may require the consent of JAL’s local government.”

Xu Cang smiled and said, "It's okay, the trend has already formed, just a small problem."

"Also, Blue Sky Airlines seems to be unable to hold on anymore. The president over there called me yesterday to ask if we have any intention of acquiring it."

Xu Cang was amused: "With the oil tank of A380, I am quite surprised that Blue Sky can support so much. There is no need to buy Blue Sky, but if they are still valuable, you can consider it." Let’s select some people to form an evaluation team to see if there is any need for acquisition.”

Blue Sky took delivery of the A380 after three years' delay. They had already missed the best period. After the first two months of making profits, the public's enthusiasm for the A380 began to gradually fade away, and what was reflected in the market was that profits began to rise rapidly. After the collapse, it was no longer profitable in the fifth month, and then began to lose money, and the hole became bigger and bigger.

Seeing the living example of Blue Sky Airlines, even though there is a follow-up cooperation with Guoda Airlines and international routes departing from Hanking, Muhua Airlines has reduced the three A380s it originally planned to order to two.

When mentioning Blue Sky Airlines, Xu Cang suddenly thought of something: "Where is Wang Xuan?"

Wang Xuan was admitted because of bribery on the Cebu route.Of course, based on Xu Cang's understanding, Wang Xuan was most likely to take the blame, but the fact had been done, and Xu Cang felt that Wang Xuan was really unjust.

"It seems that it came out not long ago." Qin Xin thought for a while: "However, I'm not too sure."

Xu Cang hummed, and he just asked casually.

At this moment, a staff member of Tianning Airport Group ran over and said to Xu Cang: "Mr. Xu, the number of people coming this time is more than the list sent before. We need to apply for a pass temporarily. Please wait a moment." It's over."

Xu Cang didn't care: "It's okay, it's our problem. We've added some people temporarily. You guys can do it slowly. Anyway, there's still some time before we get down to business, so there's no rush."

As he said that, Xu Cang moved his eyes to a small building next door, where a group of middle-aged people gathered together, both men and women, and their clothes were relatively simple, and their appearance was relatively hard-working. They all work all year round.

Qin Xin noticed that Xu Cang seemed to be looking at the next door for a long time, so she couldn't help but wondered, "What are you looking at?"

"Look, isn't that child five years old?" Xu Cang pointed to a middle-aged woman in the crowd not far away, and saw her hunched over, with a dark red sweater on her upper body and dark blue trousers underneath. , but it was obviously washed white.

This was nothing special, but there was a backpack tied behind her, which fixed a boy on her back.

This kind of carrier is very common, and many parents carry their children this way.But when the children get older, they will use this less often. It is probably only used when they are under three years old, and not so much when they are older.

However, the boy was obviously not under three years old. Judging from his appearance and the length of his exposed legs, he was probably five years old.

It's really strange to carry it on your back at the age of five.

"Hello, may I ask what is there for?" Xu Cang pointed to the crowd over there, and asked the staff at the airport.

The staff explained: "The airport is recruiting cleaners, they are here to apply."

"Oh, that's it." Xu Cang didn't think much about it. Although it was strange to have such a big child on his back, he had no interest in asking about it and quickly looked away.

However, in the distance, the little boy lying on his mother's back, always quiet, seemed to feel something. He raised his head slightly and his eyes fell on Xu Cang.Most of his eyes were black, like black gems, full of spiritual brilliance.

The little boy just glanced at Xu Cang slightly, blinked, and then lay back on his mother's back.

About half an hour later, the temporary airport pass was ready, and a group of people planned to get in the car and enter the venue.However, before getting into the car, Qin Xin answered the phone and left in a hurry.When everyone else finished, Qin Xin hadn't come back yet.

Xu Cang was a little strange, he followed the direction Qin Xin left, went out the gate, and found Qin Xin's figure on the opposite side of the road.

However, Qin Xin was not alone, there was a man and a woman beside her.

The man was talking to Qin Xin, and Xu Cang still knew that man, it was Qin Yi whom he hadn't seen for many years.

Beside Qin Yi, a short-haired woman snuggled up to him quietly, her mouth moving from time to time.It can be seen that she also knows Qin Xin.

If there is no accident, this short-haired woman is the fiancée mentioned by Qin Yi earlier.

However, Xu Cang noticed that Qin Yi's right arm was always hanging down stiffly, which was completely different from the coordination of his left hand.Xu Cang was already very keen in observation, but now his feeling became even more obvious.

"Is it"

Xu Cang had just made some guesses when Qin Yi suddenly noticed Xu Cang across the road and nodded to him with a smile.

Xu Cang also nodded, and wanted to cross the road to find them.

However, Qin Xin also noticed Qin Yi's movements at this time, turned around, and gestured to Xu Cang to signal him not to come.

Xu Cang was startled, but when he saw Qin Xin's eyes were red, he probably knew what was going on. He nodded, gave Qin Yi a gesture to contact him later, and left.

Ten minutes later, Qin Xin got into the car alone, her eyes a little swollen, and sat next to Xu Cang without saying a word.

It's not easy for Xu Cang to ask about this kind of thing, so he just cares about each other without saying a word.

At first Xu Cang was a little worried about Qin Xin, but after driving out for a while, Qin Xin who kept his head down suddenly said: "I'm fine."

"Your brother?"

"He has come out." Qin Xin whispered, "It's okay now."

Xu Cang couldn't say anything about this kind of thing. He could only say "Oh" and didn't dare to speak anymore.

Ten minutes later, Xu Cang's team passed the security check and entered the infield.

On the apron, a white-colored aircraft is quietly parked on the apron, and the words of China Cangqing Commercial Aircraft Co., Ltd. are painted on the fuselage. This aircraft is the finalized C100 aircraft. slide test.

Two fire trucks were parked on both sides of the passage in front of the plane.

At the corner of the airport, all the senior executives of the Cangqing Group were wearing reflective vests. Xu Cang stood at the front, with Yi Feng behind him.

"Next time is the flight test, are you ready?"

Xu Cang turned around and glanced at Yi Feng: "Otherwise, what would I do with the flight test certificate? Are you ready?"

Yi Feng nodded: "Okay!"

Xu Cang took a deep breath and looked around. A large number of people had gathered in front of the glass curtain wall of the terminal not far away.That place is the terminal closest to Cangqing Commercial Aircraft Base, and there are people waiting here almost all year round.

News can be released that the C100 aircraft is going to undergo a formal taxiing test, and it was even more crowded with people today.

It can be seen that everyone's interest in large domestic aircraft is extremely high.

Suddenly, Xu Cang saw a red figure among the crowd, even though he couldn't see it very clearly, he had a firm intuition in his heart.

"Shuyue!"

Perhaps in response to Xu Cang's gaze, the red figure raised his hand and greeted Xu Cang.

At this moment, there is no doubt.

The corners of Xu Cang's mouth curled up, and he turned back to look at the C100 aircraft and said softly: "Let's get started!"

Hearing Xu Cang's order, Yi Feng said something into the walkie-talkie, and soon, the fire engines on both sides in front of the plane sprayed water, and the two converged to form an arched water gate on the passage in front of the plane.

At this time, Xu Cang couldn't hide the excitement in his heart. No matter how many hardships he experienced, he finally took that substantial step.

Xu Cang took a step forward and suddenly shouted: "Cross the water gate!"

Time flies, and 20 years have passed by in a hurry. Also at Tianning Airport, a Blue Sky Airlines plane quietly leaned against the corridor bridge, and it will depart for Dianyun Airport in a while.

Outside the cabin door, a somewhat reserved young man was clutching the ticket tightly. This was his first time flying, and he seemed extremely nervous just getting in the plane.Moreover, looking at all the well-dressed passengers in front, some old clothes on his body made him cringe even more.

Because he was on standby ticket, he fell at the back of the queue.

The moment he stepped onto the cabin floor, the flight attendant greeted him politely: "Hello."

The young man bent down and replied in fear: "Hello, hello."

This appearance amused the flight attendant, who covered his mouth and smiled softly: "You are in 46B. There is a sign on the seat. Just go forward."

"46B, oh oh oh." The young man nodded hastily, and walked forward along the aisle. However, before he took two steps, a voice suddenly came from behind him: "Just wait a moment."

Looking back, I saw a ground service officer waving at the young man: "Come here."

"Me?" The young man was a little strange, but he returned to the front cabin.

After passing by, the ground agent asked the young man for the ticket, checked it, and then said apologetically: "I'm sorry, you may not be able to get on this flight. We didn't notice that you were on standby at the check-in counter, so we just I’ve given you a ticket, now the passenger in the last seat has arrived, you have to get off.”

As the name implies, the standby ticket means that you can only get on the flight if there are vacant seats, and you have to get off if there are no vacant seats.

In fact, if it weren't for the mistakes of the check-in staff, it would be impossible for young people to get on the plane, and the tickets would not be issued.

The young man was a little dazed, his mouth opened, and he didn't know what to say.

The ground service staff apologized again and again: "I'm really sorry, I'm really sorry, I think tomorrow's flight is not fully booked, why don't you try again tomorrow?"

"But..." The young man became embarrassed.

If he waited another day, he would either sleep at the airport, or return to the city to stay in a hotel.

Just because of the price of goods in Tianning, young people really don’t dare to stay here for one night.

The young man felt helpless at this time, and he didn't know what to do. Suddenly, he noticed that there were still many empty seats in the front cabin, so he asked casually: "There are still many empty seats here, can I sit here?" ?”

The purser next to him laughed: "This is the first class cabin, and your waiting ticket can only be waiting for the economy class. Of course, if you are willing to upgrade now, there is your seat now. Do you want to upgrade?"

The young man looked at the ground uniform, then at the steward, and asked cautiously: "How much does it cost to upgrade?"

The purser frowned, feeling a little impatient, and said two words: "Eight hundred!"

"Eight" the young man just felt his head buzzing: "Sorry, I am a pilot student of Blue Sky Airlines. I have to report to the company. I should arrive tomorrow. If I take tomorrow's flight, I will not be able to catch up with the registration time."

"Pilot student?" The purser raised his eyebrows: "That can't be helped. Your ticket is an alternate economy class ticket, or you can pay for an upgrade, or you can change the flight."

"Change the flight?" The young man looked at the price of the air ticket. If he bought it now, the price would probably be [-] yuan, which he couldn't afford.

At this time, the last passenger came up, looked at the young man with some doubts, and walked straight into the cabin.

The steward looked at his watch and urged: "Go or not?"

Just when the young man was in trouble, a voice sounded: "Let him upgrade."

"Huh?" The purser was startled, glanced into the cabin, and noticed that a man in the first row of the first class smiled at her, and the man repeated: "Give him an upgrade, and then close the door." The hatch."

The young man was stunned for a moment, and immediately turned around. He suddenly found that the speaker was a middle-aged man with short hair, shiny black, fair complexion, red lips and white teeth, but above the corners of his eyes was an unconcealable sadness of the years.

The young man felt that this man was at least over forty, but judging from his appearance, he was at most in his early thirties.

The illusion that appearance and temperament do not match create a sense of mystery.

After seeing the appearance of the middle-aged man, the purser nodded hurriedly: "Okay, okay."

Then, he immediately handed over to the ground attendant and said to the young man: "You can sit in front."

The young man has not yet figured out the situation: "What about the money?"

"No, sit down." The purser urged: "Hurry up."

She felt that she was moving too slowly and annoyed that person, and she became panicked.

"No more money?" The young man was immediately overjoyed. He quickly found a seat in the first row near the aisle and sat down, putting the plastic bag in his hand on the seat next to him.

"Things can't be put on the seat." At this time, a middle-aged man's voice came from beside him, and the young man turned his head to look, only to see the man chuckling and looking over, pointing to the luggage rack: "Either put it on it, or Put it under the seat."

The young man was startled, and hurriedly expressed his thanks: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I don't know."

"It's okay. We'll find out later." The middle-aged man's smile conveyed a sense of comfort: "Are you a student pilot?"

"Ah?" The young man was slightly surprised: "How do you know? Oh, did you hear that just now?"

The middle-aged man smiled and said, "I believe you will be a good pilot in the future."

The young man was a little embarrassed and scratched his head: "I hope."

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the sound of the cabin door closing in front, and then the flight attendant immediately appeared, came to the middle-aged man, and said respectfully: "Mr. Xu Cang, the cabin door is closed."

"Well, go get busy." Xu Cang waved his hand without saying anything.

Seeing that Xu Cang had no special expression, the flight attendant felt relieved and hurried back to his seat in the front cabin workroom.

"Xu Cang?" The young man murmured softly. After the flight attendant left, he thanked Xu Cang with some anxiety: "Thank you for letting me upgrade just now, otherwise I really don't know what to do."

Xu Cang shook his head: "Nothing."

As he said that, Xu Cang glanced at the clothes on the young man, revealing a hint of sadness: "If you go there alone, you will probably have a hard time for a while."

The young man immediately straightened his figure, as if to cheer himself up: "It's okay, I can endure hardship."

Although the words were eloquent, but looking at it, it was full of worry.

Obviously, there is a big gap between what the young man said and what he thought.

"Yes, you can endure hardship." Xu Cang looked at the young man in front of him appreciatively, then bent his upper body slightly, and saluted very solemnly: "It's an honor to meet you."

The young man was so flattered that he stood up straight and saluted Xu Cang repeatedly: "It's my honor!"

Xu Cang chuckled and said nothing more.

Time will sort everything out.

At this moment, the steward came back. She saw the young man standing and said hurriedly: "It's about to be pushed out. Sit down quickly."

The young man let out an oh, and just as he sat down, the purser stepped forward and asked, "What's your name, I want to make a note here."

The young man blinked and replied in a clear voice: "My name is Xu Qing!"
