Two days later, in the office of the Transport Department of the Civil Aviation Administration of China in Hanjing, Tan Linlin was looking at the documents submitted by Spring Airlines and Guoda Airlines regarding the joint operation of the Hanjing-Yangcheng route.
There was another person in the office, Xin Xin, Director of the Airport Department.
Tan Linlin threw the documents on the table, took off her glasses, and said with a smile: "Xu Cang finally handed over the route. I thought he had some clever tricks to run the Hanjing-Yangcheng route."
"How to run it? The operating costs of Hanjing and Yangcheng are so high, how can a newly established small company of his take over? But fortunately, this guy is flexible and when he feels that it is not going well, he gives the route to Guoda Airlines first, which is quite neat." Xin Xin said with a smile.
If such a good route as Hanjing-Yangcheng is handed over to other airlines for operation, it will be laughed at in the civil aviation circle. It is basically equivalent to begging while sitting on a gold mountain.
However, Xu Cang didn't care. Now that he didn't have the tools to dig the gold mountain, it would be better to let others do the work instead of wasting it. It would be better to make less money than to make no money at all.
Xu Cang has fully understood the concept of pragmatism.
Xin Xin finished laughing, his expression slightly unnatural: "But, I heard that Xu Cang got into trouble again."
Tan Linlin was still somewhat interested in Xu Cang: "What do you mean?"
"Isn't it the Muhua Airlines 777 transoceanic flight?" Xin Xin said, "About four hours before landing, the plane encountered a serious ice accumulation area. The crew started the anti-icing equipment according to regulations, but a large amount of ice still formed near the elevator, especially between the gaps of the elevator, causing the aircraft to pitch jam. As a result, Xu Cang told the crew not to report, and flew for a full four hours relying on pitch trim, and landed the plane. Don't you think this is nonsense?"
"This is indeed nonsense." Tan Linlin nodded and said, "I heard that Xu Cang boarded the plane as a route monitor. The crew was really obedient. If Xu Cang didn't let them report, they wouldn't report."
Xin Xin made a rough guess: "Muhua Airlines' leaders must have given instructions in advance. Xu Cang is a bit troublesome, but he is a very stable pilot. If it were me, I would have asked the crew to listen to Xu Cang. However, Xu Cang acted a little crazy this time, and the Aviation Safety Department and the Flight Standards Department are discussing how to deal with it."
"Any news?"
"Punishment must be imposed, otherwise it will really encourage unhealthy tendencies. The Aviation Safety Department and the Flight Standards Department seem to have no objection to the punishment of Muhua Airlines. The problem is the punishment of Xu Cang." Xin Xin smiled and said, "The two directors of the Aviation Safety Department and the Flight Standards Department think that the same standard of punishment should be used as for other crews. However, some people below think that it was Xu Cang who proposed to conceal the incident, so he should bear the main responsibility and should be dealt with severely."
Tan Linlin stood up and said, "Xu Cang is really making a fuss about this. What does Director Chen say?"
"What can I say? He respected the punishment no matter what it was."
"Director Chen is still sensible and has a clear understanding of the major issues." Tan Linlin said with a smile: "However, this matter has nothing to do with our two departments, so let the Aviation Security Department and the Flying Standard Department worry about it."
Xin Xin looked at the watch and said, "Sister Tan, it's almost time. Is there anything else to do? I'll treat you to hot pot tonight. It will definitely be good."
Tan Linlin was very satisfied: "You are still so good at being a human being."
Xin Xin is the youngest among the directors of various departments. He is not only capable but also very good at handling human relationships. At least, none of the old directors of various departments have direct conflicts with him.
"It's my duty, it's my duty." Even though he became a director of the same level, Xin Xin still kept a low profile.
Tan Linlin tidied up the documents on the table and took the clothes from the hanger: "Let's go, let's go. It's very cold today. Let's have a hot pot to warm up."
Just as the two directors were about to leave, someone suddenly rushed in from outside the door, scaring Tan Linlin. Then she looked at the person clearly and found that it was one of her department heads.
"What's the matter? Why are you in such a hurry?"
The director seemed to be running in a hurry: "Director, take a look at this."
As he spoke, the director handed a document to Tan Linlin.
"What?" Tan Linlin took it in confusion, but after just one look, her expression changed slightly.
Xin Xin didn't see the contents of the document, but he knew something was wrong when he saw the change in Tan Linlin's expression: "What's wrong, Sister Tan?"
Tan Linlin handed the document directly to Xin Xin: "It's from the Ideological and Work Style Office."
"Ideology and Work Style Office?" Xin Xin didn't know much about this organization. Mainly because he was relatively self-disciplined. There were no problems either at work or in his private life. How could he have any dealings with this organization?
However, when Xin Xin saw the contents of the document, his expression changed just like Tan Linlin's.
In the document, many pilots requested in their individual capacity that Xu Cang be severely punished for disregarding the law and concealing the fault without reporting it, in order to correct the evil practices at work.
This is actually normal, and Xu Cang himself is even prepared to accept punishment. This is a matter of choice. But the problem is that Xu Cang's affair should not be known to the world, so how did it attract so many reports and complaints from pilots?
Moreover, pilots have made many mistakes, so why would they be attacked by so many people now?
If every time a pilot does something wrong, he or she is reported to the Ideological and Work Style Office, then what are the Aviation Safety Department and the Flight Standards Department for?
However, this is not the key issue. Later, many airlines collectively demanded a thorough investigation of Spring Airlines' unfair low-price sales. This directly undermined Xu Cang's foundation.
Sometimes, selling at a low price is actually not allowed because it will cause market disruption. However, Spring Airlines' selling at a price far lower than other airlines' ticket prices does seem like unfair competition at a low price.
If it is determined that Spring Airlines has violated regulations, it will be a devastating blow to this fledgling airline.
This document does not contain much content, but every word is heart-wrenching.
Xin Xin closed the file and frowned, "Why do I feel that this report is a little abnormal?"
"Isn't it obvious?" Tan Linlin sneered, "It seems that Xu Cang has touched someone's cake, and some people are angry."
…
Muhua Airlines Guangzhou Headquarters.
After returning to China, Xu Cang took a rest at Muhua's Yangcheng headquarters to adjust to the time difference. After feeling that he was about right, Xu Cang still set off to return to Erhai Lake. However, before going back, Xu Cang needed to meet Ma Cheng.
As soon as the plane landed, Qin Xin called him. It seemed that she was in a lot of trouble and had to talk to Ma Cheng. Moreover, Ma Cheng also sent a message to Xu Cang, asking him to come to his office when he had time. It seemed that he also had something to say.
Xu Cang had never been to Ma Cheng's office, and he finally found it after asking for directions. However, before entering Ma Cheng's office, Xu Cang's cell phone suddenly rang, and it was Xiao Lingyun's number.
Xu Cang thought for a while, found a slightly secluded corner, and first answered Xiao Lingyun's call.
However, as soon as the call was connected, Xiao Lingyun shouted, "How do you know that Asiana Airlines is going to have problems?"
"What?" Xu Cang raised his eyebrows: "What happened to Asiana Airlines?"
"What's wrong? You're still pretending." Xiao Lingyun said anxiously, "Asia Airlines was found to have falsified documents and is now under investigation. Its stock price has plummeted. Don't tell me you don't know! You told me to pay close attention to Asiana Airlines earlier, but it hasn't been long since Asiana Airlines ran into trouble."
Xu Cang seemed quite calm: "If something happens, it happens."
"Whatever happened, happened. Why not seize such a good short-selling opportunity?" Xiao Lingyun felt sorry for losing a lot of money because Xu Cang ended his short-selling operation on Boeing too early. Now Xu Cang had clearly predicted the Asiana Airlines incident in advance. Looking at the Asiana Airlines stock price falling all the way, Xiao Lingyun beat his chest and stamped his feet. He missed another good opportunity to make money.
"Asia Airlines is too small to make much money." Xu Cang said with a smile: "Besides, we need to save money for other things."
Xiao Lingyun obviously couldn't keep up with Xu Cang's thinking: "What do you want to keep it for?"
"Brother Xiao, what do you think of Jeju Island?"
"Jeju Island? In South Korea?" Xiao Lingyun didn't care much about these things: "What do you want to do? I don't quite understand what you mean."
"In the future, we may take over a portion of Jeju Island's tourism industry. I also plan to purchase some land on Jeju Island. You are responsible for understanding some of the land purchases on Jeju Island."
Xiao Lingyun really couldn't understand Xu Cang's thinking: "Why did you suddenly switch to real estate? Jeju Island, does that place have a lot of room for appreciation? I'll check it out later. Also, you mentioned taking over Jeju Island's tourism industry, what is that, and where will it be taken over from?"
"You'll know later." Xu Cang said, "If possible, you'd better go to Korea to investigate."
Xiao Lingyun was stunned. It seemed that Xu Cang was serious. However, going to Korea was quite convenient. It was not like going to Europe and America, where you had to take a plane for more than ten hours at a time. That was torture.
After a moment of silence, Xiao Lingyun decided to follow Xu Cang's advice: "Okay, the land in Jeju Island, right? I will go to Korea."
"Also, there may be someone you need to meet."
"Hmm? Who are you meeting?"
The image of Park Seok-won immediately popped up in Xu Cang's mind: "Of course it's the president of Asiana Airlines."
Xu Cang hung up the phone. He didn't elaborate too much. After all, there were too many steps to go into. It was hard to explain all at once, and there was no need to explain them clearly. A plan that was too complicated was not a good thing. Xu Cang had to make his own adjustments according to the changes in the situation, so he just let Xiao Lingyun take one step at a time.
However, regardless of anything else, Xu Cang is determined to win Asiana Airlines.
After hanging up Xiao Lingyun's phone, Xu Cang went straight to Ma Cheng's office. Before coming, Xu Cang had told Ma Cheng about it. It seemed that Ma Cheng was quite concerned about it. When Xu Cang came, there was no one else in the office, and Ma Cheng was not working, as if he had deliberately left time for Xu Cang.
Seeing Xu Cang come in, Ma Cheng also stood up from his chair and invited Xu Cang to sit on the sofa together, looking very casual.
The two of them sat down, and Ma Cheng poured Xu Cang a cup of tea: "Xu Cang, you did a great job on the 777 matter before. The chairman really didn't misjudge you."
"I'm a very trustworthy person who takes money to do things." Xu Cang took the tea handed over by Ma Cheng: "However, I'm more curious about the punishment the bureau has imposed on you. Is it severe?"
Ma Cheng didn't seem to care: "It hasn't been decided yet, but the result of my inquiry shouldn't be too serious. After all, it didn't cause any safety problems."
In civil aviation, the penalty for doing something wrong is definitely determined by the extent of the impact it causes. If a pilot does something wrong but it does not cause any safety issues, the authorities will definitely not take it too seriously. But if there is a safety issue, even if it is a small mistake, the punishment will be more severe.
In short, civil aviation is still result-oriented. Whether it can land safely and whether it has caused any impact are the most important criteria for judgment.
"Were those people obedient on the plane before?"
Xu Cang smiled and said, "He's very obedient. I don't worry about him that much."
"That's fine. Your vision is higher than theirs. Following you is the best solution." Ma Cheng nodded: "Since the 777 can independently operate European and American routes, it is of great significance to our company's international route business. Xu Cang, you should be credited for this transoceanic flight."
"What's the point of being the first to do this? Can you still write me into Muhua's annals? Anyway, I accepted the old man's favor, and it's what I should do."
"Haha, just write it in the annals. However, I heard from the bureau that many people have opinions about you, and you will be dealt with severely and strictly." Ma Cheng reminded.
No matter what, Xu Cang helped Muhua Airlines a lot this time, so it is necessary to give a friendly reminder.
"I just found out. A bunch of money-hungry people." Xu Cang sneered.
Ma Cheng was a shrewd man, and he immediately understood what Xu Cang meant by that: "What do you mean, someone is behind this?"
"What else?" Xu Cang snorted, "Our case was indeed against the rules this time, but there are countless cases that are worse than ours. Have you ever seen a collective report to the authorities? Can't you see that?"
"But who is targeting you?" Ma Cheng said with a serious expression, "Also, I heard that several airlines have complained to the authorities about your company's practice of selling air tickets at low prices. If this was really planned by someone, then this person is very cruel. From people to companies, everyone is putting pressure on you."
"Xu Cang, you have helped us a lot this time. Apart from anything else, if you need legal help, our Muhua Legal Department will not stand idly by."
Xu Cang's personal affairs aside, the abnormal business behavior of airlines selling tickets at low prices may require legal assistance. But how can a small company like Spring Airlines support a money-burning department like the Ministry of Legal Affairs?
Xu Cang nodded: "I appreciate your kindness. If there is really a need, I will not be polite. However, this little thing is not difficult for me, and the other party probably just wants to give me a little warning, not to the point of killing me."
Seeing Xu Cang so calm and composed, Ma Cheng couldn't help but sigh that Xu Cang is really a completely different person now, and he can still remain calm even after such a big thing happened.
"Xu Cang, we are also partially responsible for this incident. In addition to the conditions given to you by the chairman, I would like to give you additional compensation. I wonder what you need?" Ma Cheng finished speaking, and added: "By the way, we don't have enough transportation capacity at the moment, so it's not easy to get planes or personnel."
Ma Cheng also knew that Spring Airlines urgently needed to expand its capacity, but now the landlord had no surplus food. He could not help Xu Cang, so he could only compensate him in other ways.
"Mr. Ma, if the Boeing 777 can now fly to Europe and the United States, then you don't need to transfer in South Korea or Japan, right?" Xu Cang suddenly said, seemingly having nothing to do with Ma Cheng's question.
Although Ma Cheng was curious why Xu Cang asked about this, he did not hide it. There was nothing that needed to be hidden.
Ma Cheng responded, "Well, we have also been studying this. If the Boeing 777 flies to European and American routes, the cost can be reduced, and the gap with Guoda Airlines' international business will not be that big. Then we will naturally rely on other airlines for transfer, and the relevant cooperation agreement will be terminated later."
Xu Cang: "Who is the partner for the Korean transfer? Asiana Airlines?"
"That's right! All our cooperation on Korean routes is with Asiana Airlines. What's wrong?" Ma Cheng was getting more and more confused. How did the topic turn to Asiana Airlines? "But, Xu Cang, you know a lot about this and you've put a lot of thought into it."
Muhua Airlines and Asiana Airlines have a of cooperation, which is not a secret, and you can find out by just looking it up. However, Ma Cheng couldn't understand why Xu Cang was interested in this kind of thing.
"So, have you decided to terminate your cooperation with Asiana Airlines on European and American routes?"
Ma Cheng laughed out loud: "Xu Cang, although this is not an important thing, can you tell me why you are so interested in our Korean route? I can't quite figure it out. I am generally skeptical of things that I can't figure out."
"Mr. Ma, I think you misunderstood. I'm not interested in you guys, I'm interested in Asiana Airlines." Xu Cang said with a smile, "However, if Mr. Ma minds, just pretend I didn't say anything. I'll check it out myself later."
"Forget it." Ma Cheng waved his hand. "It's not something we need to hide. We, Muhua, provide a lot of customers for Asiana Airlines' European and American routes. If Asiana Airlines is willing to adjust the revenue sharing ratio of the route, we may continue to maintain the relevant agreement if our comprehensive cost accounting is favorable."
"Anyway, Asiana Airlines is quite dependent on the customers you provide. In this negotiation, you are in the upper hand." Xu Cang said with a smile, "Since you have the advantage, it is only natural to add some additional conditions accordingly."
Ma Cheng hummed, "Now the offense and defense have indeed changed. However, we can't ask for an exorbitant price. If we are too greedy, who will be willing to cooperate with us in the future? Why, we at Muhua can't give you something, and you want to take it from Asiana Airlines?"
Although the business world is like a battlefield, at least everyone still maintains a superficial decency. After all, if one's reputation is too bad, it is not a good thing to make it public.
"Haha, there are some small things that I'm interested in." Xu Cang said bluntly: "If you are still willing to renew the contract with Asiana Airlines, please add an additional clause when revising the agreement. That is my condition."
"Oh?" Ma Cheng raised a finger: "We agreed not to go too far."
Xu Cang smiled and said, "I know. Asiana Airlines has two domestic routes to Jeju Island. The additional terms allow Asiana Airlines to transfer the operating rights of these two routes."
"Then give it to you?" Ma Cheng smacked his lips, revealing a trace of deep thought: "Jeju Island? The one in the south of South Korea? Are you interested in making money there?"
Ma Cheng doesn't care about many things, but he cares about making money. At least Ma Cheng knows which routes can make money. But the Jeju Island route doesn't seem to be related to making money, right?
"Jeju Island has been developing for many years, but it is still not very popular. Are you sure you want two routes?"
Xu Cang asked back: "Is it troublesome?"
"It's not a big deal. This second-rate or third-rate route is not too much of an additional condition. But... are you sure?"
"Hmm?" Xu Cang nodded: "Confirmed, these are the two, thank you for troubling Mr. Ma."
“It’s not a big deal. But if we eventually decide to terminate our cooperation agreement with Asiana Airlines on European and American routes, then this matter will also fall through.”
"I know that. If it blows over, then the matter is over. I won't ask for anything more."
Such words made Ma Cheng feel a little embarrassed. He asked, "You really don't want it? I don't want to take advantage of you. The revenue of the Jeju Island route is really not good. Would you like to consider it again?"
"Hahaha, no need. What the old man gave me is already generous enough. People should not be too greedy. That's enough."
Ma Cheng took a deep look at Xu Cang and realized that Xu Cang really thought so, so he stopped persuading him: "Okay. Muhua will be responsible for the route in Shancheng. We have already contacted the simulator modification. As for the license of the simulator center, you can use it at any time. If you need to build a simulator center, we can borrow some experienced personnel to help you."
"Thank you very much."
Mu Hua is quite loyal to do this.
"Just helping each other." Ma Cheng said, and was silent for a moment, as if thinking about whether to say the next words.
Xu Cang was a little curious: "Mr. Ma, just say what you want to say."
"Then I'll tell you something." Ma Cheng organized his words a little: "We at Muhua have a collaboration with Airbus on the A380. Just last night, Airbus headquarters asked us about the choice of powertrain options, and the options provided were the Trent 900 and... the GP7200."
Although we had learned from Yu Chen earlier that Airbus had already decided on the power scheme, Ma Cheng's words were the final word, leaving no room for imagination.
However, Xu Cang's expression did not change at all: "I understand."
"Xu Cang, aren't you going to participate in the actual test of the Trent 900? What's the situation now?"
Xu Cang laughed: "I'm afraid it will be cancelled. What a pity."
Ma Cheng asked tentatively: "Does this matter...have any impact?"
"Who knows?" Xu Cang took a sip of tea, with a strange light flashing in his eyes.
…
The next morning, in the office of the head of NUS Aviation Strategy Department, Yi Feng was listening to the report from his secretary. Especially when he heard the news about the A380 project, Yi Feng frowned.
"The power plan for A380 has been determined. Is the news true?" Yi Feng still couldn't believe the authenticity of the news.
Since AIA did not order the A380, the information on this model is not so timely and accurate, but there is a possibility of misinformation.
However, the secretary was very sure: "This was spread by Muhua Airlines. They have cooperated with Airbus on the A380 model, so the news should be more accurate. Moreover, we asked Airbus headquarters for relevant information. Perhaps because there was no official release, Airbus headquarters did not give a direct answer, but gave some hints, which should be true."
Guoda Airlines does not have many Airbus aircraft and is not closely connected with Airbus headquarters. In fact, the A380 powertrain has not been officially announced yet, and Airbus headquarters will certainly not reveal anything that has not been announced yet. At least Guoda Airlines does not have such weight in Airbus's mind.
Yi Feng took a deep breath. The secretary said this, it seemed to be confirmed. If it were normal, the A380 would not be able to do anything for Guoda Airlines no matter what engine it chose.
But now Xu Cang is in the middle, so that makes a difference.
"Mr. Yi, what about Xu Cang?" The secretary knew some inside information, and that was why she was even more worried.
Yi Feng pursed his lips tightly, looking very unhappy.
The secretary reminded quietly: "The board of directors?"
Yi Feng sighed: "I will explain it to the board of directors."
"Explain, how do you explain?"
Suddenly, an aggressive voice came from outside the door, and then a slender figure entered the office. It was a handsome man about the same age as Yi Feng. This man was Zheng Cangyun, the executive vice president of Guoda Airlines.
Zheng Cangyun came in with an imposing manner: "What did you say to the board of directors at the beginning? Now you want to get away with it by explaining it away? Do you think you still have a chance?"
Yi Feng's expression changed. He did not answer immediately. Instead, he turned his head and told his secretary, "You go out first."
The secretary could already sense the tense atmosphere and knew that this was no place to stay for long. Just as Yi Feng spoke, he left quickly.
After the secretary left, Yi Feng snorted, "It's just a temporary obstacle. Are you here to accuse me now?"
"A temporary obstacle? The picture you described to the board of directors has now become empty talk. It seems that you don't know the seriousness of the problem." Zheng Cangyun said coldly: "Twenty ARJ21s were given away for free. Shouldn't you be responsible for this now?"
Yi Feng's expression froze, his eyes slightly cold, but he did not refute it. Indeed, he had no reason to refute it.
Guoda Airlines gave 20 ARJ21s to Xu Cang for free. On the one hand, of course, it was to get rid of the burden, but no matter how you look at it, giving it away for free was too outrageous. The reason why the board of directors of Guoda Airlines agreed was that Yi Feng gambled everything he had as a guarantee.
Based on Yi Feng’s past performance at NUS Airlines, the board of directors still values ​​Yi Feng very much, and his guarantee carries weight.
But this is still not enough!
What really impressed the board of directors of Guoda Aviation was the future vision that Xu Cang conveyed to Yi Feng. Previously, in the conversation between Xu Cang and Yi Feng, he clearly gave the exact solution to remove the three major obstacles of domestic engine production.
One is Pratt & Whitney's planetary gear, and the other is Rolls-Royce's three-rotor technology. As for high-temperature alloys, Xu Cang also mentioned that he had found a solution, but he could not tell Yi Feng clearly because it was Xu Cang's own secret.
In the Trent 900 test between Rolls-Royce and Xu Cang, the three-rotor technology was used as a reward, while Pratt & Whitney's planetary gears are still under development. Xu Cang is confident that he can convince Pratt & Whitney to sell this technology, and the high-temperature alloy will also be resolved within three years.
At least logically, Xu Cang's idea is feasible, and not just theoretically feasible.
Even though the board of directors of Guoda Airlines knew that this was a great but empty vision, it would be an honor to leave their mark on domestic aircraft engines. Moreover, once the domestic engine is successfully developed, the huge domestic market alone will be enough to make a lot of money.
Based on current and future considerations, the board of directors of NUS Airlines finally agreed to Yifeng's cooperation plan with great reluctance.
However, Airbus determined the power plan for the A380 in advance, so Rolls-Royce lost the need to race against time and naturally there was no need to cooperate with Xu Cang anymore, and the three-rotor technology fell through.
Even though they knew it was a beautiful dream, but the dream was shattered at the very beginning, how could the board of directors of Guoda Airlines not be angry? Zheng Cangyun, the executive vice president, was here to convey the board's intentions.
"Is it too early to discuss whether the cooperation project will succeed or fail?" Yi Feng said, "At least Airbus has not officially announced the power plan for the A380, so there is still hope."
Zheng Cangyun was so angry that he laughed: "I can officially announce to you now that Airbus' engine choices for the A380 will be the Trent 900 and GP7200."
“I really don’t know when you became the spokesperson for Airbus.”
Zheng Cangyun snorted coldly: "Don't deceive yourself here, come with me."
After saying that, Zheng Cangyun walked out of the office. Yi Feng frowned, but finally followed Zheng Cangyun. He wanted to see what Zheng Cangyun was up to.
The two of them walked all the way to a meeting room on the same floor. Zheng Cangyun pushed the door open and entered, followed by Yi Feng. As soon as he entered, Yi Feng's face suddenly changed. He saw that both sides of the long table were already filled with directors of Guoda Airlines, and the chairman of Guoda Airlines, Yue Sheng, was sitting at the top seat.
Yue Sheng is a middle-aged man in his fifties. Compared with the frail and old state of Si Weimin, the chairman of Muhua Airlines, he still maintains a pretty good condition. At least there are no obvious traces of white hair on his head. Moreover, when he sits there, he has an overwhelming pressure on the whole place, which is truly breathtaking. This is the power of the head of the country's number one airline.
As soon as Yi Feng came in, one of the directors started to complain: "Yi Feng, what's going on? How did it become like this?"
Once this was said, other directors followed suit.
"Yeah, what did you promise us at the beginning?"
"Now that things have developed to this point, how are you going to end it?"
One of the directors, who was sitting closest to Yue Sheng, said in a deep voice with his eyes slightly closed: "Yi Feng, please resign on your own."
After these words were spoken, Yi Feng could no longer remain calm. This was indeed a military expedition to hold someone accountable, and the action was really fast.
"Mr. Chen, the matter over at Airbus has not been concluded yet. Can we wait a little longer?" Yi Feng didn't dare to sit down and could only speak while standing, his tone very respectful.
As soon as Yi Feng said this, a director sneered: "It's not yet concluded, who do you think he is?"
As he spoke, the director pointed to the opposite side, and the person sitting opposite him slowly stood up. He was a man under 40 years old. He nodded slightly at Yi Feng and said, "Boss Yi, how are you?"
Yi Feng narrowed his eyes slightly: " Song Xinyang !"
That’s right, this person is Rolls-Royce executive Song Xinyang, and it was also this person who had previously discussed cooperation with Xu Cang.
"I didn't expect that Mr. Yi still remembered me." Song Xinyang said with a smile.
Yi Feng didn't bother to exchange pleasantries with Song Xinyang and asked directly, "Is it true that Airbus has decided to use the Trent 900 and GP7200 as the final power solution?"
"It's a pity, Mr. Yi, this is indeed true." Song Xinyang sighed, "This news is also a big blow to us at Luo Luo. I came to your company this time to seek new cooperation opportunities."
After hearing what Song Xinyang, the party involved, said, Yi Feng finally couldn't stand it anymore, and his face turned pale. In this case, he really had no room for maneuver.
He had once been extremely longing for the future that Xu Cang had described, and had given Xu Cang all his trust, even willing to gamble his own future. But now, the dream had just begun, and he was about to wake up.
"Yi Feng, you have been smart all your life, how could you be so confused? How could you believe in someone as shameless as Xu Cang?" Beside Yi Feng, Zheng Cangyun sighed deeply, full of regret.
Zheng Cangyun regarded Yi Feng as a rival he deserved respect from. But he never expected that Yi Feng would end up like this.
Yi Feng pursed his lips tightly and said nothing. Yue Sheng, who was in a higher position, finally spoke: "Yi Feng, go to Erhai Lake. Since Xu Cang cannot achieve everything he described, we have to change our cooperation plan."
Hearing this, Yi Feng was shocked: "Chairman, we have signed an agreement with Spring Airlines. Are we going to destroy the cooperation between the two parties like this?"
"Mutual benefit is called cooperation, and what we do is called a gift. Since we can give it to them, we can also take it back. They only have the right to use it, but they don't really own those planes." Zheng Cangyun shouted: "Yi Feng, are you still stubborn?"
Yue Sheng said calmly: "Yi Feng, did you hear that? Take the plane back."
"No!" Yi Feng actually objected on the spot: "It was me who made the promise in the beginning. I cannot break my promise. I will not take the plane back."
As soon as these words came out, the whole audience was in an uproar, especially Director Chen who was sitting below Yue Sheng, his eyes widened with anger: "Yi Feng, you need to understand your position clearly."
At this time, Yue Sheng raised his hand slightly: "Yi Feng, as long as you take back the plane, I will forgive you for what happened before."
"What?" Director Chen looked at Yue Sheng in disbelief: "Chairman, shouldn't Yi Feng be held responsible for this?"
Yue Sheng didn't say much, but just turned his head and glanced at Director Chen. Director Chen immediately looked as if his throat was strangled, and his face was terribly gloomy. This was no longer a covert help, but naked favoritism, which was obviously a good opportunity to get rid of Yi Feng.
However, when he met Yue Sheng's gaze, all the resentment in his heart finally disappeared, leaving only fear.
"Chairman, I understand." Director Chen lowered his head slightly, indicating that he was willing to accept Yue Sheng's arrangement.
Yue Sheng's gaze moved and finally landed on Yi Feng: "Yi Feng, how is it?"
Yi Feng stammered. He did not doubt Yue Sheng's words. As long as he went to Erhai Lake to retrieve the planes, he would not be responsible for anything that happened before. However, these 20 planes accounted for most of Spring Airlines' capacity. If they were retrieved, Spring Airlines would collapse.
Seeing Yi Feng still hesitating, Zheng Cangyun was quite disappointed: "Yi Feng, you actually still have a little fantasy about Xu Cang. You think he just missed the three-rotor technology, and it is not certain whether Spring Airlines can survive."
Yi Feng was startled: "What did you say?"
"Spring Airlines is selling tickets at low prices and disrupting the market. The General Administration has received complaints. Now we should solve it internally within the Civil Aviation Administration. If we report it to the Industry and Commerce Bureau, it will be disgraceful." Zheng Cangyun snorted, "Do you really think it's so easy to create an operating model? Don't you know how many airlines want Spring Airlines to die?"
Zheng Cangyun sighed: "Yi Feng, Xu Cang is just a clown. You and he are not from the same world, why don't you restore everything? Take back the plane, and his life and death with Spring Airlines is none of your business."
At this time, Song Xinyang also said apologetically: "Boss Yi, we never expected things to turn out the way they are now. We can only say that it is God's will."
"God's will?" Upon hearing this word, Yi Feng's mouth suddenly curled up a little. He thought it was so ridiculous: "I really can't imagine hearing this word here."
As soon as Zheng Cangyun saw Yi Feng's expression, he knew something was wrong and shouted, "Yi Feng!"
However, as soon as Zheng Cangyun's voice fell, Yi Feng's eyes were no longer confused. He turned to Yue Sheng and said firmly: "Chairman, I will not take back the plane. This is my promise to Xu Cang. I will submit my resignation and I will be responsible for this matter."
Yi Feng's words were like a huge wave, sweeping the entire venue. The youngest and most talented strategic director in the history of Guoda Airlines actually decided to resign.
Director Chen, who had almost given up, suddenly saw the light at the end of the tunnel and even chuckled.
Yue Sheng, who was sitting in the first seat, lowered his eyelids slightly: "Yi Feng, I am very disappointed with you."
"But why do I still have hope?" Yi Feng, who had figured everything out, felt relieved and spoke out everything in his heart: "Even if Xu Cang is in a temporary crisis, I believe he will overcome it, and the future vision he described to me will eventually come true."
Just as Yi Feng finished speaking, the door of the conference room was roughly pushed open with a bang, attracting everyone's attention.
"Okay! Yi Feng, I was right about you." Xu Cang walked in with an imposing manner, and was full of heroic spirit: "Yi Feng, this place is no longer suitable for you. Follow me! Follow me to realize your ideals."
Zheng Cangyun's pupils shrank, but he saw Xu Cang sitting directly opposite Yue Sheng with a dragon-like stride, facing Yue Sheng from a distance. At this moment, even facing Yue Sheng, Xu Cang still did not give in, and stood still like a mountain.
"You just said that I can't get the three-rotor technology?" Xu Cang's gaze shifted and fell on Zheng Cangyun.
Zheng Cangyun's expression suddenly turned cold: "Isn't it?"
Xu Cang suddenly looked at Song Xinyang at the table and asked, "Are you the only Rolls-Royce that has the three-rotor technology?"
"That was when..." Song Xinyang subconsciously prepared to agree, but then he changed his mind and his face changed drastically: "You want to go to Russia?"
Yue Sheng raised his eyebrows, seeming to be a little interested.
Xu Cang laughed and asked, "No?"
Song Xinyang gritted his teeth and said, "Yes, Russia also has three-rotor technology. But that is a legacy of the former Soviet Union. It is hard to say how much of it Russia still has left. When it comes to three-rotor technology, Rolls-Royce is naturally the leader."
"That's right! So, going to Russia is only my second option." Xu Cang raised his chin: "Your Rolls-Royce's three-rotor technology is indeed what I want most."
Zheng Cangyun sneered: "But now you have no chance."
"Xu Cang, with your ability, you must know that the final power plan for the A380 has been decided. The Trent 900 no longer has any time requirements, and our cooperation will be cancelled. I am very sorry for this." Song Xinyang said sincerely.
After Song Xinyang finished speaking, some chuckles were heard in the room, as if they were laughing at Xu Cang's wild ideas.
However, Xu Cang's expression did not change at all: "The Concorde is gone, and the A380 project cannot be monopolized. Are you Rolls-Royce waiting to die?"
"Xu Cang, I know you have resentment in your heart. We at Rolls-Royce are not having a good time either, but the cooperation with Trent 900 is indeed no longer in existence. We cannot give you the three-rotor technology."
"I said it has reached 900?" Xu Cang suddenly said.
At this point, Song Xinyang's heart skipped a beat: "What did you say?"
"Do you want to wait for death, or give it a try?"
Song Xinyang instinctively felt something was wrong: "Xu Cang, what do you want to say?"
Xu Cang smiled faintly: "I mean...Trent 1000."
As soon as these words were spoken, the whole audience was in an uproar, especially Yue Sheng, who was in the lead, suddenly opened his eyes and stared at Xu Cang opposite him with burning eyes.
Such a shocking statement was truly earth-shattering. Even Yi Feng found it unbelievable. He asked Xu Cang in a daze: "Turned to 1,000?"
As we all know, even the Trent 900 has not yet completed its final work, but Xu Cang actually mentioned the Trent 1000. For a moment, everyone cast their eyes on Song Xinyang.
Song Xinyang's eyelids twitched wildly: "Xu Cang, you always surprise me."
This statement is undoubtedly a disguised acknowledgement of the existence of the Trent 1000. However, the players in the field are all elites, so it is understandable if you think about it. Developing a new generation and releasing a new generation is also a routine operation.
"Yes, we are indeed developing the Trent 1000," Song Xinyang admitted directly, "but we haven't even made a prototype yet, only a concept car at most."
Xu Cang's smile faded: "Doesn't that mean we need to fly up once more? However, the conditions for cooperation need to be changed."
Song Xinyang's face changed immediately. He didn't even ask Xu Cang to change the conditions. He said directly: "Xu Cang, you want to test fly an engine that is not even a prototype. Do you know what this means? Testing the Trent 900 may be dangerous, but the Trent 1000 will definitely have problems, and they are dangers that we cannot predict. Are you sure you want to test fly it?"
Yi Feng understood what he heard and stopped him, saying, "Xu Cang, don't do anything stupid!"
However, Xu Cang raised his hand to stop Yi Feng. He turned to Song Xinyang and said in a deep voice with overwhelming force: "It seems that you still don't know me very well. When it comes to flying... I can do everything!"
