In the ward, Qin Xin had already left. After the TV was turned off, the whole room became quiet.
Xu Cang still kept his eyes closed and rested, but in fact, Xu Cang had no intention of resting at all, as the incident of Flight 1549 was still lingering in his mind.
To be honest, looking back now, I wonder if I was being too sensitive. Although the flight number was the same, in his memory, the accident flight 1549 was from a foreign airline. It couldn't be that just because the flight number was the same, the special situation could also be transferred over, right?
However, it is hard to explain. The Boeing 747 cabin door was originally opened on Muhua Airlines flight 7811. However, the 4724 aircraft was wet leased to Blue Sky Airlines, so Muhua Airlines, which was supposed to bear the responsibility, escaped the disaster and Blue Sky Airlines was responsible.
There is only a difference in the first digit between 7811 and 9811, which has caused Xu Cang to suffer from PTSD when thinking about the flight numbers of the plane crashes in his memory .
In line with the principle of caution, Xu Cang still strongly persuaded Qin Xin to change the flight. After all, it was not necessary to take this flight. Although Xu Cang could not give a reason and it seemed particularly abrupt and strange, when leaving, Qin Xin still made it clear that she would not take flight 1549. This made Xu Cang slightly relieved.
In fact, Xu Cang did think about whether he should remind Guoda Airlines. But this time was different from the problem of Flight 9811. Xu Cang knew exactly where the problem was, namely the S2 master control locking system. But even now, Xu Cang still did not know the exact cause of the crash of Flight 1549.
To be honest, most plane crashes, even those that end up in pieces, can be traced back to the debris. Even if we can't say it's a complete restoration, there are always some relatively logical inferences.
However, when it comes to Flight 1549, apart from knowing that the plane's two engines inexplicably shut down one after another during cruising, there is no other speculation that can be supported by any evidence.
After both engines of Flight 1549 were shut down, it was over the ocean and managed to glide to the seashore. It finally made an emergency landing on land, and almost all the people on board were killed.
Xu Cang had enough awe in his heart for this kind of air crash where he didn't even know how he died. He only had one life, and it wasn't to be used to verify something.
According to the rules summarized during this period, even if all historical developments have changed after rebirth, they will not become irrelevant, and previous memories will still be of reference value.
However, history is not something that can be changed just because you want to. Take the 9811 incident for example, Xu Cang even pointed out where the problem would occur, but in the end he still failed to prevent the incident from happening. It feels a bit fatalistic, that is, no matter what changes are made in the process, what is supposed to happen will still happen.
Now, Xu Cang always had a worry in his heart, that Qin Xin would have to experience the special situation of Flight 1549 again . Even if she escaped this time, it was only temporary, and she could not escape forever, and would still have to face it in the end.
"1549?" The more Xu Cang thought about it, the more annoyed he felt. No matter how many tricks he used, he just couldn't catch this ferocious tiger 1549. What should he do?
Outside the ward, Qin Xin came out and whispered to the secretary, "Then I won't take the flight. Is there anything else?"
"Miss, there is only that shift today. The rest will have to wait until tomorrow." The secretary advised: "Xu Cang himself can't explain why. Maybe he is injured and his mind is not clear. Or should we just... ignore it?"
Just now , Xu Cang suddenly became angry and refused to let Qin Xin take flight 1549 no matter what, which confused Qin Xin and the secretary. However, although Xu Cang was so sure, when the secretary asked him why, Xu Cang could not tell.
Moreover, what made the secretary feel most incredible was that Xu Cang not only forbade him to take flight 1549, but also any other flights with the number 549. Moreover, his expression was extremely sincere and firm, and he did not feel that his words contained any feudal and superstitious meaning at all.
But for some reason, Qin Xin listened to Xu Cang's advice and really decided not to take Flight 1549, which made the secretary hard to understand.
Qin Xin walked slowly: "I can't leave today, so forget it, let's go tomorrow."
"But the meeting is today. There's no point in going back tomorrow."
Qin Xin was in such a hurry to go back today because there was an important meeting at the Shanghai Stock Exchange headquarters. However, just because of Xu Cang's inexplicable words, she ignored the important meeting?
"In that case, I won't go back." Qin Xin was a straightforward person. If he couldn't make it to the meeting, why would he go back? Then he told his secretary, "Please contact Blue Sky Airlines for me. If it's convenient, I'll go there to discuss things."
The secretary was anxious: "Miss, the group is waiting for you to go back today to discuss the charter contract. What are you going to Blue Sky Airlines to discuss now?"
"Just discussing the charter contract!" Qin Xin smiled, "And by the way, let's add some wet-leasing aircraft personnel and the establishment of the Erhai branch base."
The secretary was startled. "Miss, Xu Cang is just a pilot. What does he know? How can you listen to him? In recent years, some mixed-capital airlines have been established, but few of them have developed well. To be honest, I feel from the bottom of my heart that the business environment of domestic civil aviation is not sound. There are too many regulations. It is not a healthy industry at all. Our Chunxia Travel has always been an outsourcing company. We know nothing about civil aviation. Why do we want to jump into it?"
The secretary's words were actually quite harsh, criticizing the domestic civil aviation environment. A long time ago, China began to reform and open up, and various industries were deregulated, which led to a booming development. However, the civil aviation industry was not separated from the air force system until a few years ago.
However, even after being separated from the Air Force system, various policy restrictions still exist. Not to mention private capital, even the three major state-owned airlines are restricted in many matters. This is obviously not a normal business environment.
"Miss, although the overall environment is gradually being relaxed, it is clear that the authorities are still unwilling to relax the control over civil aviation. In such an industry that is extremely lacking in marketization, policies still control everything. However, policies are not something we can influence. In the end, whether we make money or not is not up to us."
"But what if the policy is about to come?" Qin Xin's eyes were burning: "I just received news that the three major airlines are expected to announce a massive purchase plan of more than 500 aircraft soon. Don't you think there is something strange about it?"
"Five... five hundred aircraft!?" The secretary's heart began to pound. Even for giant companies like the Big Three, the number of five hundred aircraft was too eye-catching. To be honest, the development of the domestic civil aviation market was not very fast, and it was abnormal to expand the fleet to such a large scale all at once.
The secretary asked tentatively, "Is it a large-scale model update?"
"Update 500 aircraft at a time? Do the three major airlines have such a big heart? Their capital can't support such a luxurious aircraft update plan, right?"
Aircraft will eventually age, and airlines will naturally deal with overly old aircraft and introduce new aircraft to fill the gaps. This is the so-called aircraft model update.
However, due to the late development of domestic civil aviation, most of the aircraft in its fleet are relatively new and not very old, so such a large-scale update will basically not occur.
Moreover, even if it is an aircraft model update, it can be done in batches, so that it will not have a negative impact on the company's finances. There is no such thing as buying 500 aircraft at one time. Even for the three major airlines, the financial pressure generated is huge.
Qin Xin said softly: "The three major airlines have state-owned enterprise backgrounds. They are much more sensitive to policies than we are. This is a regrettable thing, but it is something we have to accept."
As soon as these words came out, the secretary's pupils suddenly contracted: "Miss, are you saying that the three major airlines received the news in advance?"
"What else? If there is not enough market to absorb all these planes purchased at once, even the three major airlines will be in trouble."
It's not that airplanes are free just because they're not flying. Just the maintenance costs a considerable amount of money, not to mention that even if they're not flying, they still need regular inspections, which is unavoidable.
Only when an airplane flies and has enough routes and markets to feed it can it truly generate profits.
"The domestic civil aviation market has been stagnant for many years. How can such a large market suddenly emerge?" The secretary said this and suddenly realized something: "Miss, you mean... the policy has changed?"
"It's very likely. No, it's almost certain." Qin Xin's eyes were extremely firm. "Not long ago, I might have had some concerns, but now I have to give it a try. I think the cost of trial and error for an aviation sub-base is acceptable."
…
At this moment, Yu Fengtian's painful complaints were still echoing in Luo Yong's office.
"Luo Yong, I have worked diligently for Blue Sky Airlines for so many years, and this is how the company treats me?" Yu Fengtian gritted his teeth and said, "Now the company wants to kick me out, I will leave, why are they banning me?"
Luo Yong said with a cold face, "What do you mean?"
"What do you mean?" Yu Fengtian snorted. "I submitted my resume to ten airlines, but they all rejected it. Some of them were even lower-class than Blue Sky Airlines. I even reduced my salary, but I still can't find another company? Luo Yong, don't you think this is just a ban on me?"
The civil aviation industry is small, so it is not difficult to ban the industry, especially for someone who is not in great demand. The vice president of maintenance is indeed a good talent, but there is no alternative, so it is still quite possible to ban him.
Since the 9811 incident, Yu Fengtian was suspended without any surprise, and there was basically no possibility of reinstatement. Since there was no future in Blue Sky Airlines, Yu Fengtian naturally had to find another job.
For an old employee like him, it was relatively easy to find a new employer even if he reduced his salary. However, after applying to many companies, no one was willing to accept Yu Fengtian, and none of them even wanted to learn more about him.
Among them, there was an airline that was second to Blue Sky Airlines. It was recruiting senior management personnel in the maintenance department, and Yu Fengtian was a perfect fit. However, the company rejected him very straightforwardly, which caught Yu Fengtian off guard.
This situation was obviously abnormal. The first thing Yu Fengtian thought of was that Blue Sky Airlines had banned him from the industry, and it was obvious that they wanted him to rot in Blue Sky Airlines.
This is a very logical inference, but it sounded like a joke to Luo Yong. Luo Yong said disdainfully: "You seem to think you are too important. You are not important enough for the company to spend a lot of favors to ban you. You are in this situation because of your own fault."
"What's wrong with me? 9811?" Yu Fengtian was still a little unconvinced: "To be honest, even now I don't think there is anything wrong with me. Besides, even if I made a mistake, there are many airline leaders who made mistakes, and they still move on normally. How could I be like this now?"
"But have you ever thought that because of the 9811 incident, all Boeing 747-400 aircraft in China have had their airworthiness certificates suspended. The Boeing 747 is not an aircraft like the 737. If it doesn't work, the 320 can be used instead. The size of the 747 cannot be replaced by other aircraft casually. Tell me, those airlines with 747-400 fleets suddenly can't fly, and the transportation tasks that were originally supposed to be undertaken by the 747 have to be cancelled. Who should they go to for justice?" Luo Yong pointed at Yu Fengtian and scolded, "I tell you, the people in those airlines are now eager to skin you alive! Which domestic airline that owns 747-400 aircraft is not a giant. Now that you have offended all the major domestic airlines, you still want to find a buyer. Are you too optimistic about your situation?"
Yu Fengtian was stunned, and then he shouted: "What does this have to do with me? Isn't it Boeing's problem?"
"The company's legal department is already collecting evidence to sue Boeing. However, this matter has nothing to do with you." Luo Yong said calmly: "The company has been good to you. After the 9811 incident, our joint operation with Muhua Airlines has gone down the drain. All the efforts we made for this have gone down the drain. You said that Boeing was responsible for this matter, and I don't deny it, but you can clean yourself up and stop saying such ridiculous things."
Luo Yong continued, "The company only deprived you of your administrative position, but did not change your technical level. Even with all this, you are still not satisfied?"
"What's the point of keeping my technical level?" Yu Fengtian shouted, "Can I still go back to the front line?"
Yu Fengtian started out as a front-line mechanic and worked his way up step by step, but after living a life of luxury for too long, he was unwilling to return to his previous hard days.
It is easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but it is difficult to go from extravagance to frugality. This is the truth!
"Then what else do you want?" Just when Yu Fengtian was feeling depressed, a clear voice came from outside the door, and then Qin Xin's figure came in, which surprised both Yu Fengtian and Luo Yong.
Yu Fengtian and Luo Yong were already quite surprised when Qin Xin appeared on the tarmac on the day of 9811. Now that she came here, they were even more surprised.
Qin Xin nodded slightly: "Boss Luo, I need to talk to you about something."
Luo Yong was still lingering with impatience towards Yu Fengtian the moment before, and the next moment, his face was filled with ecstasy. Could it be that Qin Xin had changed her mind and there was room for maneuver in the charter contract?
If he could keep the charter contract, not only would his joint liability on Flight 9811 be eliminated, he could even make a small contribution.
"You go out first." Luo Yong waved his hand, signaling Yu Fengtian to leave.
Yu Fengtian's face turned red from holding it in, but he didn't say anything in the end. He was at the mercy of others and had no right to speak.
When Yu Fengtian left, Luo Yong stood up and asked in a somewhat flattering tone, "Miss Qin, is there anything you want to discuss?"
"First of all, of course, we have to deal with the charter contract." Qin Xin didn't beat around the bush and found a sofa to sit down. "You handled the AIDS incident of your flight attendant so badly earlier. This time, 9811 almost had a big problem. From our standpoint, it is reasonable for us to question whether you can undertake the transportation mission we require."
Luo Yong nodded hurriedly to admit his mistake: "Ms. Qin, it was our responsibility before. We will definitely learn from it..."
"No, I don't want to hear such empty talk." Qin Xin held up a finger and said, "The price will be reduced by 5%. At the same time, if there is any failure to fulfill the responsibilities during the cooperation period, it must be punished. In view of the punishment, we must sign another contract."
"This..." Luo Yong didn't know how to answer for a moment, so he froze.
However, Qin Xin didn't care much: "It doesn't matter. This kind of thing is not something you can decide. You just need to convey my words to the higher-ups."
Luo Yong was a little embarrassed: "Then Miss Qin, you can go directly to the people above and tell me. I can't give you a definite answer."
Luo Yong felt that Qin Xin was making fun of him. She knew that she had no decision-making power, but still came to him. Isn't this a joke?
"Because I need to ask some professional questions. Those people can talk about business matters, but they know nothing about other things. It would be troublesome to talk about them."
"Hmm?" Luo Yong frowned, "Miss Qin, is there anything else?"
"I mean, if we set up a branch base at Erhai Airport, would it be difficult?" Qin Xin asked.
Luo Yong was full of questions: "Erhai Airport, why do you want to build a branch base at Erhai Airport?"
Qin Xin did not hide it: "I intend to lease an aircraft and necessary supporting personnel from your company to establish a branch base in Erhai Lake..."
Luo Yong took a deep breath. He couldn't even believe his ears. "Ms. Qin, are you saying that Spring Summer Travel is going to build an aviation sub-base, and then lease the aircraft and personnel from our company?"
"That's right!" Qin Xin directly agreed with Luo Yong's statement: "Because we have never been involved in the civil aviation industry, when the aviation sub-base is first established, in addition to requiring your personnel support in operation, we also hope that you can arrange special personnel for the subsequent financial review. Of course, the manpower costs will be borne by us."
"Wait!" Luo Yong couldn't accept it for a moment. This topic was a bit too broad. "Ms. Qin, forgive my ignorance. I have never heard that Spring Summer Travel intends to enter the civil aviation industry."
Qin Xin curled her lips and said, "That was mainly my own idea, so I just invested in an aviation sub-base to test the waters. I heard that Blue Sky Airlines also established an aviation sub-base before, so they should have more relevant experience, right?"
"That's true." Although Blue Sky Airlines is not a particularly large airline, it does have experience in setting up several branch bases in other cities. There are already three established, not counting those in preparation.
However, from the perspective of its own interests, Blue Sky Airlines is definitely unwilling to allow Spring Summer Travel to get involved in civil aviation. If Spring Summer Travel has its own transport airline in the future, how can Blue Sky Airlines make money from Spring Summer Travel's outsourcing?
However, Blue Sky Airlines is now facing internal and external troubles and urgently needs the charter contract of Spring and Summer Travel to recover. If Qin Xin refuses directly and turns to find someone else, Blue Sky Airlines will have no place to cry.
Luo Yong was still somewhat smart, so he continued to ask: "Ms. Qin, let's not talk about anything else. I'm just curious about where you plan to fly if the Erhai base is established?"
"The temporary plan is the Erhai Lake - Yangcheng tourist route." Qin Xin said sincerely: "If possible, can your company help us apply for this route, and the application fee will be borne by us."
"Yangcheng?" Hearing Qin Xin say this, Luo Yong was relieved and patiently explained to Qin Xin: "Ms. Qin, perhaps you don't know much about the relevant content of route approval. Let me tell you a little bit. Generally speaking, except for some special routes, routes are generally divided into approved routes and registered routes. All routes involving the three cities of Hanjing, Shanghai and Yangcheng, as well as the three cities connecting to some other busy airports in the country are approved routes, and the rest are registered routes. All applications for approved routes are handled by the Civil Aviation Administration of China, while registered routes can be coordinated and reviewed by the corresponding regional administration."
"It's extremely difficult for us to get an approved route, so we definitely can't help." Luo Yong continued, "However, fortunately, Erhai is not a busy airport, so the Erhai-Yangcheng route is not an approved route, but a registered route. If it were a normal registered route, it wouldn't be a big deal for us to apply for it. But the problem is that there is a Yangcheng in it, so this route has certain special features. Even if it is a registered route, you need to pay an extra price to apply for it, and it will be very high."
Airspace and airport capacity are limited, which leads to the scarcity of air routes, especially high-quality routes. Erhai is not a busy airport, but it is different when it comes to Guangzhou.
Luo Yong asked seriously, "Ms. Qin, how much money are you going to prepare for the route application?"
"This..." Qin Xin's face suddenly froze. Testing the waters of civil aviation was already disliked by most people in the group. Their funds were already very tight. Where would they get the extra money to handle the route application?
As soon as Luo Yong saw Qin Xin's expression, he immediately knew that Qin Xin was short of money. This matter might really be Qin Xin's personal idea, and it did not involve the collective opinion of Chunxia Travel.
"It's true that this is just a spur of the moment decision by a rich lady!" Luo Yong exclaimed.
If what he said could really make Qin Xin give up, that would be great. As for the content of the route application, Luo Yong did not say anything nonsense, and even spoke a little conservatively.
The reality is that you can't get a flight route just by spending money, and there are many cases where you spend money but end up with nothing. The civil aviation industry is very complicated, and it's not something that an outsider like Qin Xin can grasp.
Qin Xin's face was slightly gloomy: "So what do you mean?"
"Ms. Qin, civil aviation is not as simple as you think. Route application is only one part of the process. There are still many difficulties to be faced. It is not something that can be dealt with simply by trying it out." Luo Yong said sincerely, "If you are not determined to make a desperate decision, Miss Qin, I advise you to give up this idea."
Luo Yong's words were extremely sincere. With Qin Xin's experience, she could tell that Luo Yong was not threatening her, but he really felt that she was simply not capable of handling civil aviation.
"Really?" Qin Xin said in a low voice: "Okay, I understand."
About five minutes later, in a luxury car in the Blue Sky Airlines parking lot, Qin Xin was sitting in the back seat with a gloomy face. Next to her, her secretary had just hung up the phone.
"What did you say?" Qin Xin asked impatiently as soon as the secretary hung up the phone.
The secretary's expression was not very good either: "Additional funds seem to be more difficult."
"It's more difficult? It should be completely impossible." Qin Xin sneered. Although he had expected it, he was still a little disappointed when he got the exact news.
The secretary nodded and said, "Miss, what Luo Yong said does make some sense. Civil aviation is an industry that requires large investments. Without the help of the group, you can't do it alone."
Qin Xin's expression was extremely cold: "But they don't support me!"
The secretary wanted to say that since there was no support within the group, then they should not do it, but she didn't dare to say it.
After a long time, Qin Xin calmed down, took out her cell phone and called Xu Cang. After a long time, the call was connected, and Xu Cang's familiar voice came from the other end: "What's wrong?"
Hearing Xu Cang's voice, Qin Xin's irritable mood calmed down inexplicably, but his tone still couldn't hide his worry: "Xu Cang, I just talked to the people from Blue Sky Airlines about setting up the Erhai base, and mentioned the route application..."
Qin Xin repeated the conversation between her and Luo Yong. Xu Cang just listened quietly without saying a word. After Qin Xin finished speaking, Xu Cang's tone remained calm: "Is it about the route application?"
"Xu Cang, do you think Luo Yong is exaggerating?" Qin Xin is not a simple naive person. After a little analysis, she can understand that from the standpoint of Blue Sky Airlines, they are definitely unwilling for Spring Summer Travel to establish its own civil aviation transportation force. So, naturally, Qin Xin suspected that Luo Yong was deliberately deceiving her.
"Probably not." Xu Cang thought for a moment: "Perhaps, to be precise, he is a little conservative."
In the later generations, Xu Cang was mainly responsible for the technical aspect and was not familiar with administrative work such as route approval. However, he had some understanding of the basic route and flight approval rules, and after a cursory listening, he felt that Luo Yong's words were not exaggerated.
This was indeed a point he had neglected, as he had not thought through some details. In his mind, the grand blueprint he had drawn would make anyone excited, so how could he hesitate?
But the fact is that the senior management of Chunxia Travel did hear Qin Xin talk about Xu Cang's idea, but there were few responses. This also led to the fact that the financial and material resources that Qin Xin could provide were very limited, and the route application hit a wall in the initial stage.
Qin Xin's heart suddenly tightened: "Xu Cang, what should I do? I just contacted the group, and they are not willing to add funds..."
"It's okay. I'll find a way." Xu Cang's emotions didn't seem to fluctuate at all. He said, "Miss Qin, I have something to do. I'll contact you later."
After saying that, Xu Cang actually hung up the phone directly. Qin Xin didn't expect Xu Cang to hang up the phone so decisively. She was stunned for a moment, still mumbling, "What's the matter?"
At this moment, in the hospital ward, Xu Cang slowly put down his phone, looked at the two people standing by the bed, and smiled: "Our personal relationship has not yet reached the point where I need to come over to visit the patient, right?"
The two people standing by the bed were Li Rongcheng and Ye Xian. Ye Xian was already impatient to ask about 9811. Since the plane landed, he had been thinking about how Xu Cang would land.
Regarding the timing of the flare, Ye Xian thought that it might be due to the perception of ground effect. When the aircraft approaches the ground, the pressure difference between the upper and lower parts of the aircraft will increase suddenly, resulting in a sudden increase in lift, which creates an illusion of being lifted by an invisible force. Some pilots with superb perception can rely on the lifting feeling caused by the ground effect to judge the timing of the aircraft's touchdown.
However, these are all Ye Xian's guesses, and everything still needs to be answered by Xu Cang. He has been pursuing the end of flying technology and has great admiration for this miraculous flying technique. On the day of 9811, if Li Rongcheng had not stopped him, Ye Xian would have asked Xu Cang on the spot.
Little did he know that just as Ye Xiang was about to ask a question, Li Rongcheng stopped him and said to Xu Cang with a smile, "I wonder what the doctor said. Is the prognosis good?"
"You're still concerned about my prognosis?" Being cared about by a man he wasn't familiar with, Xu Cang didn't feel the slightest bit of joy in his heart, but felt quite strange. However, there was no need to hide this matter: "It's okay, but it will take some time."
Upon hearing that the prognosis was good, Li Rongcheng was overjoyed, as if he was even happier than Xu Cang originally.
Xu Cang couldn't see things clearly now, but just by listening to Li Rongcheng's low laughter, he knew that this guy was probably very happy. However, Xu Cang couldn't understand why he was so excited when he heard that his prognosis was good, even though he and Li Rongcheng were only acquaintances a few times.
"When I came here, I was still worried about whether Mr. Xu would have any sequelae. Now it seems that I was worrying too much. Mr. Xu is a lucky man." Li Rongcheng said with a smile.
Xu Cang had a so-so impression of Li Rongcheng, but since he was seeing him off with a smile, he didn't want to go too far and just nodded and said thank you.
After the polite words, Li Rongcheng started to talk about business: "Mr. Xu, some time ago I mentioned to you about going to Boeing headquarters for development. I wonder what you think about it?"
"What happened?" Xu Cang said lazily, "Weren't the conditions agreed upon at the time?"
Li Rongcheng didn't care at all, nodded and said: "I know, the drawings of 737NG are definitely not acceptable. However, if it is 757, I believe it can still be discussed."
Ye Xian, who was standing behind Li Rongcheng, raised his eyebrows, a trace of surprise flashed across his face. If Li Rongcheng said that, then he must have received instructions from the headquarters. Unexpectedly, the headquarters' evaluation of Xu Cang was so high that they were willing to exchange him for a model of drawings.
However, what Ye Xian and Li Rongcheng did not expect was that Xu Cang did not show any excitement after hearing this, but laughed out loud: "Li Rongcheng, do you know why I hate Boeing so much?"
Li Rongcheng's face suddenly changed. This was the first time that Xu Cang clearly expressed his likes and dislikes towards Boeing, but Xu Cang's expression was so thorough and there was no room for maneuver.
From Xu Cang's tone, Li Rongcheng could feel that the so-called civil aviation holy land was probably nothing in Xu Cang's heart.
Li Rongcheng did not speak, but Ye Xian said coldly: "I am all ears!"
Xu Cang raised his chin: "Because you have no future! Just like an aging king, he still wears the crown, but with just a slight push, his end will come. Boeing 757? It's already half-discontinued and will be nailed into the coffin next year. I have no interest in it anymore. I want the 737NG, including the extended-range 700ER, the passenger-cargo 700C, and the high-altitude 700HH. In addition, for every major update of the 737NG in the future, you must provide detailed modification drawings."
Ye Xian was the first to lose patience: "Xu Cang, don't go too far. Do you really think that I can't survive without you?"
Xu Cang did not answer Ye Xian, but chuckled: "Li Rongcheng, Boeing must be feeling very uncomfortable now, right? They invested so much in the 777, do they want to give up so easily? The future 787 should still be in the conceptual stage, and it will probably take ten years to actually fly. Do you think Airbus will stand still and wait for you during the ten-year window period?"
Originally, Li Rongcheng was just a little angry at Xu Cang's increasingly harsh demands, but when he heard these words, Li Rongcheng almost lost his balance.
787!
Obviously, this project was only named 7E7 at the headquarters, so why was Xu Cang able to directly point out the name of the model 787, which was basically only in the conceptual stage?
However, compared to this, Li Rongcheng tasted an amazing hint, that is, Xu Cang seemed to have a way to solve the dilemma of 777.
The next moment, Xu Cang's tempting words came out: "Don't you want to know what happened to 777?"
Ye Xian suddenly opened his eyes wide: "Don't be so pretentious, the problem with 777 is those useless test pilots. If it were me, how could I have so many problems?"
"Ha!" Xu Cang sneered: "Sure enough, it's exactly the same arrogant character as Boeing! It's the pilot's problem, but what if I say it's not?"
Ye Xian said disdainfully: "You say it's not, so it's not?"
"I have read the verification flight report of Boeing 777 and found a very interesting detail in it." Xu Cang suddenly laughed, but that smile contained unusual information.
"Impossible, how could you have seen the verification flight report of 777?" Li Rongcheng was the first to express doubt.
Although the flight verification report is not top secret, it is definitely not something that can be found everywhere. It is not something that Xu Cang can see just because he says so.
Xu Cang shrugged casually: "Correction, I really didn't read it. It's too hard for me to see things with my eyes squinting. I listened to people reading it, such as the manufacturer's serial number inside... 42354!"
At this moment, Li Rongcheng's face turned pale. The manufacturer serial number of the verification aircraft that had the problem at that time was 42354.
The manufacturer serial number is not the aircraft number, and it is not so easy to find out. Moreover, Xu Cang was able to accurately point out the manufacturer serial number of the verified Boeing 777, which shows that he really has the possibility to understand the relevant content of the verification flight report.
"Do you need me to report the temporary airworthiness certificate number again?" Xu Cang smiled.
Li Rongcheng raised his hand: "No, I just want to know what the problem is in the verification flight report?"
A trace of surprise flashed across Ye Xian's face: "Do you really believe him? How can he get a verified flight report? He is just talking nonsense!"
"Shut up!" Li Rongcheng was rarely angry at Ye Xian: "Xu Cang, I don't care where you got it from, please tell me what's wrong."
However, Xu Cang's face, which had been smiling, suddenly turned cold: "If you want to know, then bring something in exchange!"
