Any words from Xu Cang seemed a bit overly threatening, but in fact, the representatives of Chengdu Airlines knew that if the ban on Airbus 320 continued, Chengdu Airlines would be in great danger.
The reason why Chengdu Airlines can still hold on is that the aircraft have not yet reached the stage where they really need maintenance. Now they basically only need some daily maintenance. When the aircraft begin to undergo major repairs, the capital investment will increase sharply. In addition, there will be more and more aircraft that will reach the end of their leases, and the renewal fees will be a huge expense, which is enough to completely overwhelm Chengdu Airlines.
The timing of the Airbus 320 grounding was too bad, as it happened to be when a large number of aircraft were undergoing D inspections and when their leases were about to expire. Therefore, in at most one quarter, the company's expenses would wipe out all the profits of the past few years.
Once the funds are gone, the company will be depleted of its lifeblood.
Nowadays, there is no hope for the progress of the investigation on Airbus 320, and Chengdu Airlines really can't wait any longer.
"Xu Cang, the choice you give us is really fatal." The representative of Rongcheng Airlines sighed.
Xu Cang's face was indifferent: "I have no grudges against you. If you want to blame someone, just blame it on Wang Baotian. I have been very polite to you. If you still want to protect Wang Baotian, believe it or not, I will shut down your entire company."
For an airline like Chengdu Airlines, which has tied all its assets to Airbus and has no foundation of its own, it is not difficult to deal with it at this stage.
At least if Xu Cang changed the conditions with Airbus from the Tianjin Assembly Plant to the rectification of Chengdu Airlines, Airbus would definitely be happy. The 9451 incident did bring Xu Cang a strong bargaining chip. Moreover, Xu Cang knew in his heart that 9451 was indeed a problem with the aircraft itself. He dared to make deals with so many parties not by deceiving, but because he really held important bargaining chips.
However, Xu Cang did not want to join forces with outsiders to suppress "his own people" unless it was absolutely necessary.
The representative of Rongcheng Airlines immediately thought of some possibilities and turned pale. Ma Cheng next to him was a little impatient: "Stop nagging, can you be more decisive?"
"Xu Cang, if I agree, how long will it take for this matter to be settled?" asked the representative of Rongcheng Airlines.
Xu Cang said: "How can I know the exact time? The key is to see when Airbus will figure it out. However, I think it will be soon."
Given CFM's intelligence capabilities, it should have known by now that IAE was looking for it. If CFM's response speed was normal, it would have already started communicating with Airbus.
The representative of Chengdu Airlines did not hesitate after hearing this: "Okay, let's do it! I will collect materials and apply to the authority to revoke Wang Baotian's title of Meritorious Pilot. Please also keep your promise."
Hearing that the representative of Rongcheng Airlines finally gave in, Xu Cang was relieved. Although he would never let anyone get revenge, he would not implicate other people. If the representative of Rongcheng Airlines insisted and wanted Xu Cang to shut down Rongcheng Airlines, Xu Cang might not be able to do it.
After all, there are too many ordinary employees in Chengdu Airlines. Pilots don't care, as they can make a living anywhere with a skill, and it's a good job. But ordinary employees, especially ground administrative staff, once they lose their jobs, they have to start all over again, and it's not certain whether they can start all over again.
However, it didn't develop to that point, and Xu Cang still felt fortunate.
"Don't worry, my reputation has always been very good, right, Mr. Ma?"
Ma Cheng rolled his eyes and said nothing. However, although he was unhappy with Xu Cang, what Xu Cang said just now did make some sense. At least when Xu Cang helped to settle the production capacity quota for Boeing, he did it cleanly and neatly.
The representative of Rongcheng Airlines was obviously not in a good mood. He hummed and walked out without saying hello. Ma Cheng saw that the discussion was over and prepared to leave.
As a result, just as Ma Cheng was about to leave, Xu Cang grabbed Ma Cheng and approached him with a smile: "Boss Ma, why are you in such a hurry to leave?"
Ma Cheng shook off Xu Cang's grasp with disdain and asked vigilantly: "Can you please stop smiling at me? I always feel like you are thinking of some bad idea again!"
"No, no, no, I'm a kind person, how could I have any bad ideas?" Xu Cang was very thick-skinned, and he moved closer: "Hey, Mr. Ma, your Muhua Airlines is such a big company, there should be a lot of redundant staff, right?"
Ma Cheng frowned immediately: "What are your plans, kid?"
Xu Cang finally showed a hint of embarrassment: "Since there are so many people, why not share some among us?"
After all, giant companies like Muhua Airlines have people who don't mind the environment and only care about making money. Although it is still possible to borrow some resources from Blue Sky Airlines, Ma Cheng has agreed to give up the airline quota, so the recruitment of other personnel should be on the agenda.
"Is this how you recruit people? This is just poaching." Ma Cheng was really convinced. Xu Cang was really bold as he asked for people in front of himself, a senior executive of Muhua Airlines.
"How can this be called poaching? It sounds so ugly. This should be called the rational allocation of human resources!" Xu Cang said with a playful smile: "I will pass our company's recruitment information to you later, and you can promote it at Muhua Airlines."
Ma Cheng's forehead was bulging with veins, and he was almost laughing out of anger: "You asked me to promote your company's recruitment information in our company, Xu Cang, are you okay?"
"To be honest, Xu Cang, you really want to open an airline in this shabby place. I admit that you are a great pilot, but running an airline is not the same as flying."
Xu Cang smiled and said, "Are you afraid that we will become Mu Hua's competitor? Don't worry, we are targeting the low-end market, and we are not in competition with each other."
"Mid- to low-end market?" Ma Cheng was startled, and a trace of curiosity emerged in his heart: "How low?"
"How much do you think the ticket from Erhai Lake to Yangcheng is?"
Ma Cheng smacked his lips, thought for a moment, and said a number: "One thousand and five?"
“Too high!”
"One thousand and two?"
“It’s still too high!”
"No!" Ma Cheng was speechless: "You won't sell it for a thousand, right? That's too low."
Xu Cang shook his head: "Not a thousand."
Ma Cheng breathed a sigh of relief: "I told you, there's nothing good about selling a ticket for a thousand yuan."
But Xu Cang smiled slightly: "It's not one thousand, it's five hundred! The ticket from Erhai to Yangcheng is five hundred per ticket!"
"Five hundred, are you kidding me?" Ma Cheng's face suddenly changed: "Five hundred per ticket, why are you still selling plane tickets? Just drive a bus! Xu Cang, airplanes are a high-end way of travel. It's easy to change a brand from high-end to low-end, but it's difficult to go back from low-end to high-end. Don't lose the big picture for the small."
Xu Cang didn't think there was anything wrong with him: "Anyway, I'm targeting the low-end and mid-end markets, and I don't want to go back to the high-end."
"This child is incorrigible." Ma Cheng waved his hand and said nothing more. He stepped out of the house and followed the representative of Rongcheng Airlines out of the yard.
Xu Cang smiled and shouted towards Ma Cheng's back: "Boss Ma, I'll send you the recruitment information later, so you must remember what I say."
As a result, Ma Cheng didn't reply at all, until his back disappeared into the shadows and was never seen again.
"Tsk tsk tsk, you have quite a bad temper." Xu Cang muttered.
After finishing his discussion with Ma Cheng, Xu Cang went upstairs again and found that Tan Heling had also come over, and even Qin Xin was in the room.
Xu Cang was a little surprised and asked Qin Xin: "What are you doing here?"
Qin Xin pulled Xu Cang out the door and whispered, "The ticket information from the group has been fed back."
Their base does not sell tickets through Blue Sky Airlines, but through Spring Summer Travel. Therefore, Xu Cang and his team cannot learn about the sales of tickets in a timely manner.
"What do you mean?" Xu Cang's eyes suddenly widened. This was the first voyage, and it had to get off to a good start.
"We sold a total of eleven tickets for the Erhai to Yangcheng section," Qin Xin said.
"There are no foreign tourists to Erhai Lake now. The part where you go there doesn't matter. The key is the part coming back." Xu Cang was not discouraged by the poor sales of tickets for the outbound trip. What he really needs to see is the part from Guangzhou to Erhai Lake.
Qin Xin's serious face suddenly showed a smile: "All sold out! My friend from the group told me that they were basically sold out in more than two hours after they were released. Xu Cang, it turns out that low-priced tickets are easy to sell."
Xu Cang's air ticket price this time was no longer a low price, but an ultra-low price. The price reduction was more than a 50% discount, so it was no wonder that Ma Cheng said that Xu Cang might as well drive a bus.
"Okay, okay!" Xu Cang was also very excited. As long as more tourists waited for Erhai Lake, there would be more and more people flying from Erhai Lake to Yangcheng, thus forming a virtuous circle.
Xu Cang thought for a moment and asked, "Have you calculated the income and expenditure of these two sections?"
Qin Xin's smile faded a little: "After a rough calculation, I lost a little bit. But I think it's good. After all, it's just the beginning."
The outbound flight was basically empty, and even if the return flight was full, the profit would definitely be negative due to the low ticket price. Qin Xin was mentally prepared, so she didn't react much to the loss-making flight, and it was even better than she expected.
Xu Cang patted Qin Xin on the shoulder and said, "Everything is difficult at the beginning, but it will definitely get better and better later. I also think this is a very good start. I was prepared to have two empty flights at the beginning."
Qin Xin nodded heavily. The ticket sales on the first day definitely gave her great confidence.
"Okay, go and rest. Why did you get up so early to tell me this?"
"I can't sleep. I haven't felt sleepy since last night. I'll take a nap and see if I can fall asleep." Although Qin Xin looked very energetic, her complexion didn't look very good, obviously because she had stayed up late.
Xu Cang pushed Qin Xin and said, "Let's go now. You should be relieved now that the tickets are selling so well. Let's go!"
After seeing off the worried Qin Xin, Xu Cang returned to the preparation room. Mo Shangyun saw Xu Cang coming back, threw the clearance documents he had read to Tan Heling opposite him, stood up, and waved to the crew: "Let's go, let's enter the airport."
There was a loud cheer and the maiden flight finally began.
…
Because it was too early, when Xu Cang and his team entered the venue, there was absolutely no light around. Even with the headlights on, they couldn't see the road clearly. As a result, a road that would have taken less than five minutes to drive during the day took nearly ten minutes this morning.
Fortunately, Mo Shangyun deliberately advanced the entry time, so this little accident did not have much impact.
When everyone arrived at the terminal building of Erhai Airport, there were only a few lights on. The airport had already opened all the passages in advance. After entering the hall, there was only one person at the check-in counter, and there was a passenger getting a boarding pass. Other than that, there was no one else.
To be honest, the atmosphere is like that of a ghost town.
The group passed through the security check channel under the slightly curious gaze of the security personnel, and saw their own boarding gate as soon as they passed. There was no way, Erhai Airport only had four bridges, and the terminal hall could be seen at a glance. After entering, the only boarding gate that was lit was the boarding gate for their flight .
"It's too deserted." The flight attendant was slightly surprised. She had heard about the situation at Erhai Airport, but even so, after seeing the airport's desolate appearance with her own eyes, she still felt incredible.
Can a strong tree really grow by taking root in an airport like this?
"It's okay, there will be more people in the future." Xu Cang's confidence increased after hearing the ticket information Qin Xin said just now. It is indeed very depressed here, but it also means that there will be an extremely vast blue ocean here.
Mo Shangyun, who was walking in the front, smiled with relief when he heard Xu Cang's sincere words. The flight attendant also smiled and said, "I hope it's the same as you said."
So, under the curious gazes of more than a dozen passengers at the boarding gate, Xu Cang and his party passed the boarding gate. Although the scene looked very deserted, all the necessary services were provided.
The ground service personnel, refueling technicians, and cleaning staff at the boarding gate were all arranged in time. The maintenance personnel were Xu Cang's own people, and they arrived earlier than the crew.
Although the inaugural flight was of great significance, the process was no different. Xu Cang was just a bystander this time, and after refueling, the boarding gate was open.
Because there were so few people in the first section, everyone was there in less than five minutes.
Although time was a bit tight, there were two pilots with flight certificates, Mo Shangyun and Tan Heling, in the cockpit, so they prepared very quickly. Everything was ready while the cabin door was closed, and there was no time wasted at all.
Xu Cang began to sleep from the moment the plane was pushed out, and only woke up slightly when the landing gear was lowered during the approach to Yangcheng. Then after the plane landed, the above process was repeated.
When they returned to the middle point of this section of the voyage, Xu Cang woke up with a pain in his neck.
Mo Shangyun heard the noise behind him, turned around and asked with a smile: "How do you feel?"
Xu Cang rubbed his neck: "It's always been really uncomfortable to sit as an observer, especially when sleeping."
"That's really unfair to you." Mo Shangyun didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "I think you'd better not take the seat behind you, I'm afraid you've fallen asleep."
The features on Xu Cang's face were squeezed together: "My mind is clear now, but I seem to have a stiff neck from sleeping. My neck is uncomfortable. Forget it, I'd better not fly. I'll talk about obtaining the qualifications later."
At this time, Tan Heling interrupted: "Xu Cang, why don't you go sit in the back? The observer's chair is really uncomfortable to sit in."
The observer's chair is foldable and can be put away, which is convenient and does not take up much space. However, this structure is destined to completely sacrifice comfort.
Basically, the observer's seat is a chair-like structure made of some simple materials wrapped on an iron frame. If you sit on it for a long time, your waist and buttocks will be very uncomfortable.
Since Xu Cang doesn't plan to sit down, he can just sit in the back. At worst, he can come in later when he gets closer.
Xu Cang wiped his face and looked like he still hadn't gotten enough sleep. Mo Shangyun was speechless: "Xu Cang, did you stay up all night last night? How could you be so sleepy?"
"Uh, almost." Xu Cang unbuckled his seat belt, stood up, and put away the chair. "I don't know why, maybe I was too excited. I couldn't fall asleep. At most, I slept for less than an hour."
"Forget it, forget it." Mo Shangyun was not surprised when he heard that Xu Cang had only slept for less than an hour. He waved his hand and said, "Go to the back and take a nap. Remember to take off your epaulettes and tie."
Although all the tickets were sold, some seats in the front row of the cabin were reserved for the crew. There would definitely be empty seats when Xu Cang went to the cabin later.
Xu Cang made a gesture: "Understood!"
Soon, Mo Shangyun informed the crew through the intercom that Xu Cang was coming out. After making some preparations, Xu Cang, who had already taken off his epaulettes and tie, came out of the cockpit, handed them to the chief steward for safekeeping, and ran to the cabin.
As expected, there were four empty seats in the front row. Xu Cang randomly picked one and sat down, feeling his soul melting. After sitting in the observer's broken chair for a long time, sitting in the cabin chair was truly a heavenly experience.
Xu Cang leaned back a little, adjusted the angle of the chair, and prepared to continue sleeping. He even brought earplugs for flying around the plane. These earplugs are standard equipment for pilots, and are mostly used when flying around the apron.
Because sometimes when circling the plane, you may encounter other planes approaching. If the distance is closer, the noise will really shock your brain. It is for this reason that in order to protect the pilot's hearing, the airline will give each pilot earplugs, and the quality is quite good.
Just as Xu Cang was about to put on his earplugs, he heard the voice of a middle-aged woman next to him: "I heard that the scenery of Erhai Lake is very beautiful, but we don't know how to get there or where to go. Can you tell us?"
The flight attendant couldn't answer this question, so he could only apologize: "I'm sorry, I really can't answer this question. When you get to Erhai Airport, there should be travel information there."
"Ah? This is too troublesome."
Flight attendant: "I'm sorry, this is really beyond my ability."
After saying that, the flight attendant was about to go back to the front cabin workroom, but when she turned around, she ran into Xu Cang who had turned around with half of his head exposed. She was startled and blurted out: "Brother, what are you doing?"
However, Xu Cang did not answer her, but smiled at the middle-aged woman who asked the question earlier and said, "Auntie, how to play in Erhai Lake? Let me tell you."
About thirty minutes later, the chief flight attendant came into the cockpit to take Mo Shangyun's empty water cup, and then he would add hot water to Mo Shangyun.
When handing over the cup, Mo Shangyun casually asked, "What is Xu Cang doing in the back? Is he sleeping?"
The flight attendant took Mo Shangyun's cup and smiled: "He is acting as a tour guide!"
"Guide what? Tour guide?" Mo Shangyun was stunned, not understanding: "What does it mean to be a tour guide?"
"Literally." The flight attendant did not leave in a hurry, but said: "Many passengers don't know how to play in Erhai Lake. As a result, Xu Cang has been popularizing the tour routes for half an hour. It seems that he will not be finished for a while."
"Ah?" Mo Shangyun was stunned: "He knows this? He is not a native of Erhai."
The flight attendant shrugged. "If he is not a local, then he really put in a lot of effort. Our co-pilot is really special. Instructor, is there anything else you need? A small towel, some fruit?"
"No need, just fill up the water for me." Mo Shangyun waved his hand to signal the flight attendant that he could leave.
After the chief flight attendant left, Mo Shangyun listened attentively for a while and could vaguely hear Xu Cang's voice coming from behind.
"You're serious." Mo Shangyun was really impressed by Xu Cang, who could work as a part-time tour guide on the plane.
Tan Heling was inspired and said: "Teacher, Xu Cang really treats this as his own career."
Mo Shangyun could understand Xu Cang's thoughts, but he wondered if it seemed too aggressive.
After talking for nearly an hour in the cabin, Xu Cang, who was so dry-mouthed, hadn't slept for a minute. Seeing that the plane was approaching, he hurried back to the cockpit.
As soon as he entered the cockpit, Xu Cang, whose brain was already deprived of oxygen from talking, became sleepy and fell asleep again after less than two minutes. He was not awakened until the plane landed and the engine was shut down by Mo Shangyun.
Wiping the saliva from the corner of his mouth, Xu Cang was still a little confused. He looked at the sign of the aircraft position and said, "Ah, the train is shut down now?"
"What else do you want? How about flying two more flights and sleeping for two more flights? Is it so easy to sleep on the plane?" Mo Shangyun said helplessly.
"I didn't expect to be so sleepy. Oh, never mind, I'll just get off work after the flight." Although he didn't feel involved in the whole process, Xu Cang still had a natural preference for getting off work, and his mind suddenly became clear.
This is what is meant by "I feel drowsy when the engine sound is on, but I become alert immediately when the engine sound is turned off". This is a true portrayal of pilots.
After everyone got off the bus, Xu Cang happily took the flight case from the luggage rack in the cabin and quickly followed Mo Shangyun.
In order to save money, they did not sign an agreement with the airport, so they could not exit from the apron, and could only walk through the terminal building like other passengers. However, Erhai Airport is very small, so even if they walked through the terminal building, it would only be a matter of a few more steps, which is not a big deal.
The crew went all the way to the arrival gate and saw many passengers from the previous flight gathered at the airport bus station. Xu Cang was about to get on the bus when he was stopped by a voice: "Young man, can you help us figure out how to take this bus?"
Xu Cang looked carefully and found that it was the passenger on their plane. So Xu Cang did not get on the crew car for the time being, but walked over to explain: "Auntie, this bus only comes every two hours, you probably have to wait."
"Two hours, how long will it take?" The middle-aged woman looked embarrassed: "It's very expensive to take a taxi to the city."
After this statement was made, many passengers also complained, saying that the transportation here was really bad, and some began to regret coming here.
Xu Cang looked around and estimated that there were at least 30 to 40 people, so he shouted loudly: "Wait here now, a car will come to pick you up soon."
The middle-aged woman asked happily, "Didn't you say it would take two hours? How come there's another car?"
"I'll arrange it for you." Xu Cang shouted again, "It will take at most a quarter of an hour, just wait a moment."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Cang hurriedly turned around and got on the crew car, and then the crew car drove away, leaving behind a group of passengers who didn't understand the situation.
Not long after, two people came over from the arrival gate. One of them was thin and looked to be in his forties. He was wearing a plaid shirt with a jacket on the outside, and his hands were behind his back, with an old-fashioned demeanor.
There was a young man following behind him, who was reporting on his work: "Director, an airline has recently moved in and opened a route to Guangzhou..."
"Is it just one? Are there other airlines willing to come in?" the middle-aged man asked, but his eyes were always on the bus stop where people gathered.
The young man looked a little embarrassed: "Well, no other airline has proposed to us to set up shop yet."
The middle-aged man sighed, "The conditions at Erhai Lake are still too bad. But I see that the group of people in front of us are all from the Yangcheng route? There are quite a lot of people! Let's go and take a look!"
This middle-aged man is Hu Ming, the director of the Erhai City Poverty Alleviation Office. However, he is not a native of Erhai, and has just been transferred here and is still in the stage of understanding the situation.
Following behind him was his assistant Nancy.
The two had just walked to the bus station and were about to ask the passengers when they saw a brand new minibus and an old van driving over. Then, the door of the minibus opened, and a young man in a white shirt got out and shouted to the crowd at the bus station: "If you are going to the city, get on the bus. The van at the back can also accommodate people."
This young man was Xu Cang. That's right, he asked the crew car to return and also called the van for buying groceries.
The people waiting for the bus saw that there was indeed a bus, and they began to get in one after another. Soon, the bus was almost full. When almost everyone was waiting, Xu Cang looked around at the door of the bus to make sure that no one was left out. He happened to see Hu Ming and Nancy who had not yet figured out the situation.
"Uncle, why are you still standing here?" Xu Cang stuffed Hu Ming into the minibus and glanced at Nancy. "You're going to the city, right? Get in the car?"
"We..." Nancy had never seen such a scene before, but when she saw that the leaders were already in the car, she gritted her teeth and followed.
After confirming that there was really no one on the platform, Xu Cang got on the bus and patted the driver: "Let's go!"
Under Xu Cang's instructions, the car door was closed, started, and drove towards the city.
In the car, Xu Cang said to the car, "When we get to the city, you can follow the route I told you on the plane. Of course, you can have your own ideas, but it's best to ask the locals in advance."
The middle-aged woman just now smiled and said, "Young man, I just saw you wearing a pilot's uniform. When you were on the plane, I thought you were a flight attendant and was wondering why there were male flight attendants."
"Auntie, there are still male flight attendants, just not many."
"How much is our trip?" the middle-aged woman asked. "Thank you for taking us."
Xu Cang waved his hand quickly: "No money, if you ask for money, won't this car become an illegal taxi?"
When they heard it was free, the atmosphere in the car became more lively.
Hu Ming, who was sitting in the last row, looked at Xu Cang with great interest. From what the middle-aged woman said just now, this young man was a pilot. Could he be the crew of the Yangcheng route?
But why is this crew just doing the work of tour guides?
With growing curiosity, Hu Ming waited for a long time until the car finally arrived at the city center.
Xu Cang got off the bus first, and then patiently showed people the way, sending everyone away except Hu Ming and Nancy. When Xu Cang's throat was smoking, he found Hu Ming looking at him and scratched his head: "Uncle, you were the slowest to get on the bus just now, so why are you the slowest now? We are already in the city, where are you going? If I know, I can give you some advice."
At this time, Nancy came out and said, "He is Director Hu Ming from the Municipal Poverty Alleviation Office. We are not tourists."
"Ah? An official!" Xu Cang's face suddenly turned red. He actually forced the leader of the Poverty Alleviation Office into the car.
However, Hu Ming signaled Nancy to keep quiet, and asked Xu Cang amiably, "Sending these people here shouldn't be within the scope of your airline's services, right?"
Xu Cang was not reserved either: "Whose responsibility is it at this time? We are closely related to Erhai City. Only when the tourism in Erhai City develops can we develop along with it."
"Good! Well said! We are all in the same boat, there is no need to divide responsibilities. Our common goal is to develop the tourism in Erhai City." Hu Ming observed Xu Cang's every word and action along the way, and asked the passengers in the car about what they saw and heard on the plane. When he heard that Xu Cang was promoting the Erhai tourist route on the plane, he immediately felt that Xu Cang was no ordinary person.
After thinking for a while, Hu Ming asked, "How are the profits from these two periods?"
"Benefits? Still profit? Losses! There were only a dozen people in the first section. Fortunately, it was almost full when we got back, otherwise we would have lost more." Xu Cang sighed: "However, this is better than expected, it's OK. However, I sincerely suggest that the supporting facilities of the airport should be improved, at least the bus schedule should be increased. Every two hours, the interval is too long."
Hu Ming thought for a moment and said, "You are right. If you want to develop, the supporting facilities must keep up. However, your situation is indeed difficult."
Hu Ming didn't think Xu Cang was deliberately playing the victim. He looked at the previous records of Erhai Airport. Other airlines had moved in before, but without exception, they all left.
In addition to some non-operational factors, the route revenue being insufficient to cover expenses is definitely one of the reasons.
"I feel that you are different from the previous airlines." Hu Ming said seriously: "If you are willing to take root near Erhai Lake, then we must give you some help. In the future, as long as the occupancy rate of the flight exceeds 70%, our government can help you reimburse the fuel costs, which should reduce some of your burden. Our finances are also tight and we cannot subsidize too much. I hope you can understand."
"Ah!?" Xu Cang almost jumped up. He actually earned a government subsidy for coming to the city. It was really a pleasant surprise.
Hu Ming saw Xu Cang's excitement and laughed as well: "From your accent, I can tell you're not from here, right?"
At this time, Xu Cang noticed that Hu Ming's accent was very similar to his own, so he asked tentatively: "I am from Weiyang, Director Hu, you are..."
"Hahaha, I'm from Weiyang too. I didn't expect to meet a fellow countryman here."
As the saying goes, when fellow villagers meet, their eyes are filled with tears. With this relationship, Xu Cang was even more relaxed.
"How about this? This isn't the place to talk, and I have something else to do later. I'll leave you my phone number. Call me when you have time. We need to discuss the government subsidy in person." Hu Ming thought for a moment and said, "It would be best if you could call your boss as well."
As he spoke, Hu Ming and Nancy asked for a piece of paper, wrote their personal numbers on it and handed it to Xu Cang: "Call this number, as soon as possible!"
Xu Cang quickly put it away, this was a huge help to them.
After talking to Xu Cang for a few more words, Hu Ming and Nancy went back to their own business. Xu Cang put away the note and asked the driver to drive back without stopping. He couldn't wait to tell Qin Xin the good news.
After a bumpy ride, Xu Cang finally returned to the small courtyard of the temporary base. As soon as he got off the car, he saw Mo Shangyun, who had changed his clothes, strolling in the courtyard.
Xu Cang, in a good mood, greeted Mo Shangyun: "Instructor, after flying two sections, I still have energy to take a walk."
"It's not a big boss." Mo Shangyun looked at Xu Cang's raised mouth and said with a smile: "What good thing did you get by giving someone a gift? Your mouth is grinning from ear to ear."
"Hahaha, this is a great thing. However, it hasn't been decided yet. I'll tell you when it's decided." Xu Cang said, "Teacher, you take a walk. I have something to do upstairs."
When Xu Cang thought of Qin Xin's happy expression when she learned about the government subsidy, his smile became even brighter.
But when Xu Cang was about to go upstairs, Mo Shangyun suddenly called Xu Cang from behind: "Xu Cang, I just realized something when I got off the plane today."
Xu Cang stopped walking and turned to look at Mo Shangyun: "Teacher, what's wrong?"
"Do you know what the flight number of our plane is?" Mo Shangyun asked with a subtle expression.
Xu Cang hadn't taken a flight that day. He was either sleeping or on his way to sleep, so how could he know the plane number? So he frowned and asked, "Instructor, what's the plane number?"
Mo Shangyun had a strange look on his face and uttered a set of numbers: "1566!"
"What?" Xu Cang's face changed drastically: "1566, that plane!?"
Isn't this the plane that Xu Cang was evaluating after his rebirth, and ended up flying with a tail scrape? Later, Xu Cang thought there was something wrong with the plane and had a big argument with the management of Blue Sky Airlines. Why did Blue Sky Airlines assign this plane to them?
For some reason, Xu Cang felt something strange in his heart: "Nothing will go wrong, right?"
