Originally, Bi Lin had already made the final decision, and no one in the field should have objected to it. However, just because others did not dare to do so did not mean that Xu Cang did not dare to do so, especially since he had a firm reason.
"Chief Engineer Di, is it convenient for us to talk alone?" Xu Cang looked at Di Qingquan, who had been talking very little.
Di Qingquan was startled, as if he had thought of something, and couldn't help showing a guilty expression, but still nodded: "Okay!"
Xu Cang's face turned slightly cold, and he was the first to stand up and walk out of the venue.
Di Qingquan said respectfully to Bi Lin: "Mr. Bi, can I go there?"
Bi Lin didn't even open his eyes, he just hummed.
Only after getting Bi Lin's consent did Di Qingquan follow him out of the venue.
When Di Qingquan came out, he found Xu Cang leaning against the railing outside the venue. Seeing Di Qingquan, he said in an extremely dissatisfied tone: "In Yulong, I said that would be the only time. Are you breaking your promise?"
In Yulong, Xu Cang felt that he had done everything he could as a citizen, and he had previously explained to Di Qingquan that the incident in Yulong would be the last time and would not happen again. However, now he was forced to go to Qitai to verify the single-shot program, which Xu Cang could not accept.
Xu Cang has a temper and he doesn't want to be a puppet at the mercy of others.
Di Qingquan knew he was in the wrong: "Xu Cang, this matter should have been the responsibility of the Flight Test Institute, but the Flight Test Institute did not have 737 and 320 test pilots, so they recruited personnel from various airlines. Strictly speaking, this matter is not the responsibility of our Civil Aviation Administration, we are only responsible for issuing the recruitment order, so you can't put all the blame on me."
Due to the poor condition of large domestic civil airliners, the Flight Test Institute did not have suitable test pilots for the 737 and 320. Xu Cang felt that Di Qingquan would not lie to him about this. However, Xu Cang could not tolerate Di Qingquan's behavior of shirking responsibility.
"I don't want to worry about the division of responsibilities. I just want to ask you one question: is what you said before still relevant? I want to give everyone face, just like the time with Yulong. If I didn't want to, could you still tie me up and put me on the plane? And my patience has already worn out with Yulong. Chief Engineer Di, you should understand what I mean."
"Uh..." Di Qingquan looked a little embarrassed. During the incident with Yulong, he had actually used some moral blackmail. He felt that his actions at the time were not very kind. Di Qingquan couldn't refute and could only accept it.
"You should explain the situation to Dean Bi in private. It will be better for everyone." Xu Cang said seriously.
"Xu Cang." Di Qingquan held his forehead and said, "In fact, the single-engine verification at Qitai Airport is not very dangerous. At least it is not as dangerous as Yulong. It's not that it is not as dangerous as Yulong. It's just that it's not at the same level. Since the danger level is not high, why not participate? After all, you are still a member of CAAC..."
Xu Cang was already very unhappy at this time, and when he heard the second half of Di Qingquan's sentence, he exploded on the spot: "EASA's review will be completed soon. Does CAAC want to bypass ICAO and directly control me?"
Di Qingquan knew Xu Cang had misunderstood when he heard Xu Cang's tone, and quickly explained: "That's not what I meant. Don't keep resisting. What I meant was that if you are willing to help us this time, we must remember your kindness. Last time we gave you the Hanjing-Yangcheng route, that was enough sincerity, right? If your company wants to develop, wouldn't it be better if we help each other?"
"Huh, your investigation team is still checking our base. Are you helping each other?"
Di Qingquan's breath was choked, and he quickly smiled and said, "This is a special situation. From a personal perspective, I definitely believe that you are not engaging in unfair competition. However, everything has to go through the procedures, and there is nothing I can do about it."
"It's really an understatement to say that we can't add more routes for a quarter just because of a procedure." Xu Cang said coldly: "At least for now, I can't think of anything the bureau can do to help me."
They cannot apply for air routes, and the authorities cannot provide them with aircraft. What room is there for cooperation?
"Then tell me, what do you want us to do for you?" Di Qingquan lowered his voice and said, "Xu Cang, let's not talk about anything else. If you help, the Northwest Bureau will definitely be grateful to you. In the future, there will be no obstacles in opening up the Northwest Route."
"Northwest Route?" Xu Cang's eyelids jumped, and a thought suddenly popped up: "Can the General Administration approve a freight license for me?"
"Cargo... freight?" Di Qingquan scratched his head. "What do you want a freight license for? To get involved in the freight industry? Is freight very profitable? Not really."
Spring Airlines currently operates passenger flights. If it wants to carry out cargo flights, it will need approval from the Civil Aviation Administration. If it goes slowly, it will take some effort, but if it discusses it with the General Administration in advance, everything will be much clearer.
But Di Qingquan doesn’t understand. It seems that domestic freight is not very profitable now.
Xu Cang was very dissatisfied with Di Qingquan's questioning style: "Do I need to submit all the business plans to the bureau for review?"
"Haha, no, no. As for the cargo license, that's fine! As long as you're willing to help, everything is easy to talk to." When asking for help, Di Qingquan was very easy to talk to, and a cargo license alone was not an excessive request. Finally, Di Qingquan added: "The single-launch verification at Qitai Airport is really not dangerous, you will definitely make money."
"I don't want to make money either." Xu Cang said, "First find a chance to explain my request to Bi Yuanzi. If it really doesn't work, we can discuss it in detail."
Anyway, as long as there was a slight possibility, Xu Cang didn't want to go to Qitai Airport for single-engine verification. After all, if he wanted to fly this thing, he would probably have to go to class, which was very troublesome.
Moreover, Xu Cang did have a need for a freight license, but it was not urgent, so his first thought was to put it off.
Di Qingquan hummed and was about to speak when an old voice suddenly came from not far away: "Xu Cang, do you really not want to fly?"
Xu Cang and Di Qingquan looked in the direction of the sound, only to see Bi Lin had appeared , looking at them expressionlessly: "Xu Cang, if you really object, then forget it this time."
Xu Cang was stunned for a moment. He had never expected that the person who gave in was Bi Lin. They say people are becoming more and more stubborn, so why is Bi Lin so easy to talk to?
Not to mention Xu Cang, even Di Qingquan felt incredible. As far as he knew, Bi Lin was a man of his word, and once he said something, it was as good as spilled water. How could he take it back after such a short time?
However, Xu Cang didn't bother to care why Bi Lin was willing to retract his previous decision. As long as he didn't have to participate in the single-launch verification of Qitai Airport, that was enough for him.
"Dean, why don't we just forget it this time?" When Xu Cang faced Bi Lin, he still felt a little lacking in confidence. After all, Bi Lin's qualifications were there.
Bi Lin nodded: "Well, we will find two more people. However, if there is a problem with the previous single-shot verification, you will be required to do it later. You can accept it."
"Okay, okay!" Xu Cang happily agreed. As Di Qingquan said, the single-engine verification at Qitai Airport was actually not very dangerous. Xu Cang felt that he would not have to do anything. With Bi Lin's personality, he was already quite good to be able to give in to this extent. Xu Cang still felt that it was better to stop while he was ahead and not make any more unreasonable demands.
"Come in." Bi Lin waved his hand, motioning Xu Cang to enter the venue first.
With such a result, what else could Xu Cang expect? He hurried into the venue.
As soon as Xu Cang entered, Di Qingquan immediately came to Bi Lin and said, "Mr. Bi, I was about to convince him just now."
"But he is very unhappy." Bi Lin sighed: "Qingquan, if I use my power to transfer him to the Flight Test Institute, do you think he will hate me?"
Di Qingquan was speechless for a moment, but he still answered: "I think Xu Cang would rather say goodbye to flying from now on. No one can really force him."
"Yeah, geniuses always yearn for freedom. What a difficult kid."
Di Qingquan hesitated a little, but still mustered up the courage to ask: "Mr. Bi, do you really think so highly of Xu Cang? I mean, Xu Cang is indeed very powerful, but are you putting him in a position that is too high?"
Di Qingquan naturally knew how capable Xu Cang was, but judging from Bi Lin's performance, Xu Cang was almost an existence that existed in heaven and earth. Di Qingquan personally thought that he was being praised too much.
Bi Lin glanced at Di Qingquan with his eyes slanted, which made Di Qingquan's heart tremble. He hurriedly said, "Mr. Bi, I was just talking casually."
At this moment, Di Qingquan regretted why he spoke too much and questioned Bi Lin, which was simply asking for trouble.
However, Bi Lin didn't say anything else, but just asked calmly: "Qingquan, do you think Xu Cang's performance at Yulong Airport will be his peak?"
Di Qingquan hesitated for a moment and said, "Yeah, I remember Xu Cang said the same thing."
However, Bi Lin shook his head: "But I don't think so."
Di Qingquan was horrified: "Mr. Bi, are you saying that Xu Cang has not yet reached his peak? That's impossible. If he hasn't reached his peak yet, then what level can his peak reach?"
To be honest, Di Qingquan really found it hard to imagine that Xu Cang had not yet reached his peak. Now, Xu Cang's experience was no longer like that of a human being. Was there still room for further breakthroughs?
The technique of using spiral straight cut and five-sided landing at Yulong Airport is unprecedented. Is there any other operation that can even match the technique of Yulong Airport?
Bi Lin also had a trace of confusion on his face: "Actually, I can't explain it clearly. He rose too fast, but he never really encountered a desperate situation. Only in the terrifying despair can we know where his peak is."
"That's impossible. Some of the special situations Xu Cang encountered were very dangerous. Can't this bring out his potential?" Just the 747S2 switch incident, the three-side spin at Yulong Airport, and the Jakarta volcanic ash incident that Di Qingquan knew about were all close calls with death. Isn't that desperate enough?
"You don't understand!" Bi Lin's cloudy eyes flashed with a light that saw through the world: "What is more despairing than death is... loss."
…
What made Xu Cang feel extremely happy was that Bi Lin really changed his mind and no longer forced Xu Cang to participate in the single-engine procedure verification at Qitai Airport. This change also surprised the other captains and instructors. Although they didn't know who was responsible, most of them could still tell who was the decisive person.
Judging from Bi Lin's attitude, as long as Xu Cang is willing to go, he will definitely take up a spot. The only thing that can make Bi Lin change his mind is that Xu Cang is determined not to participate.
Although they didn't know why Xu Cang was so determined, judging from the final result, they had gained a lot of advantages. Deep down, they still felt that they owed Xu Cang a favor.
This would be the best way for Xu Cang to do it. He didn't have to participate in the single-engine verification, and he could make a group of captains and instructors owe him a favor, which was really killing two birds with one stone.
In the end, Bi Lin agreed to let Chen Guoli participate in the single-engine verification at Qitai Airport. However, Bi Lin was paired with a 40-year-old instructor from Guoda Aviation. Although he was in his 40s, his hair looked black and shiny, and he was well maintained. I guess he was also in good physical condition, so he could be considered as a backup for Chen Guoli.
After the meeting, Chen Guoli originally wanted to invite Xu Cang for dinner. After all, he knew that it was because of Xu Cang's withdrawal that a vacancy was left, giving him a slight chance of being selected.
However, Xu Cang could only politely decline Chen Guoli's kindness. He came to Hanjing this time to catch up with his master, and he had to get up early to return to Erhai Lake tomorrow morning, so how could he have time for Chen Guoli?
Chen Guoli was a reasonable man. He was not annoyed when Xu Cang did not agree. After thanking him, he told Xu Cang that if he had time to come to Shanghai, he would treat him again.
At this time, Xu Cang remembered that Chen Guoli was an old instructor of Tiandong Airlines, and Shanghai was his territory. Xu Cang naturally accepted the invitation of the old instructor.
Afterwards, Xu Cang had a late-night snack with his master Chen Xiangdong, during which he told Chen Xiangdong about his refusal to accept the single-issue verification at Qitai Airport. Chen Xiangdong supported Xu Cang's choice. After all, Xu Cang had done enough at Yulong.
Moreover, in fact, Yulong had narrowly escaped death that time, but Xu Cang did not get much benefit from it. The only thing that was relatively important was the title of meritorious pilot. As a result, the title did not allow Xu Cang to travel freely afterwards, but instead aroused the envy of a group of people and brought Xu Cang a lot of trouble.
Xu Cang didn't owe anyone anything, so it was natural for him to refuse.
As it was getting late and Chen Xiangdong was old and lacked energy, Xu Cang did not chat for long and they separated at 11:30. In fact, Xu Cang wanted to visit Dr. Xu Ruxing, but thinking that it would not be a good idea to bother him at midnight, he gave up the idea.
The next morning, Xu Cang got up early and took a flight of Guoda Airlines back to Jianchuan, and then transferred from Jianchuan to Erhai Lake. When he landed at Erhai Lake, it was already 1:00 p.m.
Xu Cang didn't have lunch on the plane, so he had a bowl of porridge in the morning to fill his stomach. He didn't like eating food on the plane, so he straightened himself up and went back to the company cafeteria to eat.
Now the attendance building of the new base has been built, and the canteen is almost ready, just waiting for the formaldehyde to dissipate before moving in. When the canteen of the new base is completed, the company's food will be able to be improved to a higher level.
Xu Cang took the crew car out of the airport, and when he arrived at the company, Qin Xin was already waiting at the door. As soon as Xu Cang got out of the car, Qin Xin led Xu Cang to the cafeteria , still complaining on the way.
"Just eat something on the plane first. It's not worth it to starve yourself."
Xu Cang really liked Qin Xin's housekeeper-like appearance, and patted his belly: "It's okay, I drank two bowls of porridge in the morning, and I'm fine sitting down, I don't feel hungry. Look, I asked you to prepare it in advance when I just arrived in Jianchuan, so it won't delay."
After the plane landed in Jianchuan, Xu Cang called Qin Xin during his transfer time and asked Qin Xin to calculate the time of his landing at Erhai Lake and prepare lunch. Xu Cang was quite concerned about eating.
"You really have a good plan, don't you?" Qin Xin rolled her eyes. "You didn't tell me what you wanted to eat, so I just asked the canteen to prepare it. Don't complain if you have food allergies."
"No complaints, I don't have any dietary restrictions." Xu Cang was walking when he suddenly thought of something: "Oh, by the way, where is my eldest brother-in-law? Is he gone?"
Qin Xin was stunned and snorted heavily: "What brother-in-law! He hasn't left yet, but he plans to leave this afternoon."
"You haven't left yet." Xu Cang howled. Qin Yi was a bit too powerful, and he really couldn't handle him. It would be better to have less dealings with him.
Qin Xin slapped Xu Cang's arm in dissatisfaction: "What are you howling for? My brother heard it. That's not good! By the way, Jinghong sent a message that the National Planning and Design Institute has already completed the survey and estimated that the cost of the full set of program design will be around 30 million. Do you think it's okay?"
After all, Xu Cang is the one who pays the money, so whether it is feasible or not depends on Xu Cang's approval.
"30 million." Xu Cang thought for a moment and nodded: "Okay, you can reply directly to Jinghong. Has the regulatory intern from Jianchuan arrived?"
"They're here, they're all here, and they've been settled in." Qin Xin nodded: "The airport has already started taking them for internships, it seems like they take it very seriously."
Xu Cang smiled and said, "We must pay attention to it. There are more and more flights to Erhai Lake. Without new people coming in, how can we handle it? However, just a few of them are not enough. When Jinghong gets up, air traffic control will also be needed there, which is really troublesome."
He and Erhai Airport prefer a cooperative relationship, but Jinghong is his own, so naturally he has to pay more attention to it.
"It seems that I need to spend more time with Director Liu. He will also need to take care of the interns' conversion to regular employees."
After the internship period, these interns from Erhai need to go to Jianchuan for a unified exam. How to arrange the exam as soon as possible is another science. At this time, Director Liu's presence becomes even more important.
Even though Xu Cang doesn't like the ways of the world, he still has to obey due to the pressure of reality.
Before they even reached the cafeteria entrance, Qin Xin suddenly said, "After you finish eating, you have someone else to meet."
"Who is it?" Xu Cang said, but his pace was getting faster and faster, and his stomach was growling.
"Boeing's new head of Asia Pacific is looking for you specifically."
Xu Cang paused and tilted his head: "Where is Li Rongcheng?"
"Huh? Didn't he tell you? He resigned." Qin Xin was also a little surprised. Li Rongcheng had a good personal relationship with Xu Cang, so logically speaking, such a big thing should be told to Xu Cang.
"No." Xu Cang showed a thoughtful look. He did not go to the cafeteria again, but asked: "Where is he now?"
"In the reception room."
Xu Cang left Qin Xin behind and ran towards the reception room of the base. Qin Xin originally planned to catch up with him, but thought about it and stopped halfway.
In the reception room, Huang Jing was drinking tea leisurely. Hearing footsteps, he saw Xu Cang's figure appearing at the door and stood up immediately.
"Nice to meet you."
Huang Jing politely extended his right hand. Before he introduced himself, Xu Cang asked, "Where is Li Rongcheng?"
Huang Jing retracted his right hand somewhat embarrassedly: "He has resigned for some time."
"Why did you quit?"
"That's not something I can know. However, I heard that the headquarters has prepared a large severance package for him. I think he can still live a comfortable life in the future."
Xu Cang's face lightened up a bit, and he wondered if he should give Li Rongcheng a call. Although he and Li Rongcheng had a good personal relationship, they didn't talk on the phone very often. He and his father Xu Zhenming didn't talk on the phone very often. If there was nothing really going on, why would two grown men talk on the phone?
Xu Cang glanced at Huang Jing, and without saying anything more about Li Rongcheng, he went straight to the point: "You're looking for me?"
"Didn't you, Mr. Xu, come to us?" Huang Jing said softly, "Mr. Xu, the condition for the 1566 flight data recorder is the partial genuine authorization of domestic aviation materials, right?"
Not long ago, Xu Cang conveyed his conditions to Boeing headquarters, which was to ask Boeing headquarters to authorize some domestic aviation materials. In this way, domestic airlines can buy aviation materials from him, and the price will naturally be lower. That's right, Xu Cang wants to get involved in the aviation materials field.
"That's it. How have you guys come to a conclusion?" Xu Cang said with a smile, "If you haven't come to a conclusion yet, you can still continue the discussion. I'm not in a hurry anyway."
Huang Jing's mouth twitched a few times. Although the decline in Boeing's stock price was suppressed today, it was because some investors forced Boeing to prolong its life. If the outside world's doubts about the structural strength of the 737 fuselage are not resolved, Boeing will always have a bleeding trough. How can those investors who help Boeing provide blood transfusions for a long time?
Therefore, Boeing is determined to obtain the flight data recorder of Flight 1566, and the time pressure is on Boeing.
"Mr. Xu, can you guarantee that the aviation materials on the list meet our company's quality standards?" Huang Jing asked.
Saying this means that Boeing has given in. While telling Boeing the conditions, Xu Cang attached a list of aviation materials that he could produce on his own.
No matter what, there is still some gap in the domestic technological level, and some aviation materials cannot meet the genuine requirements. Xu Cang is well aware of this, so he deliberately selected domestic aviation materials with relatively mature technologies and required genuine authorization.
Although it is not possible to eat up all the profits of Boeing's aviation materials in China, it is not bad to have a share. In fact, even if Xu Cang has the ability to eat up all the profits of Boeing's aviation materials in China, it is not easy for Xu Cang to do so.
Indeed, Boeing is more anxious now, but the entire domestic aviation material market is not a small part, it is all taken by Xu Cang, how can Boeing agree? Therefore, it is okay to make demands, but don't be too excessive, otherwise if Boeing is pushed to a corner, it will be difficult for both sides.
Xu Cang didn't really expect to kill Boeing this time. After all, Boeing had recovered a lot of blood after overcoming the difficulties of the 777. The problem of the 737's fuselage structural strength would at most cause Boeing some damage, but it was impossible for it to be fatal.
Huang Jing considered his words and said, "What the headquarters means is that our company can authorize the aviation materials listed by Mr. Xu, but Mr. Xu must accept our company's irregular inspections for two years. If serious quality problems are found during this period, our company can revoke the authorization."
This is already the biggest concession Boeing can make. Even though most of the aviation materials on the list listed by Xu Cang are of relatively low added value, the profit is still not to be underestimated. Moreover, if the business is well managed, it can make money continuously.
In addition, with the expansion of the domestic civil aviation market, this profit pool will continue to expand. If it were not for the pressure from Boeing's board of directors and the capital that transfused it, demanding a quick solution, Boeing headquarters would never give up part of its aviation material interests.
However, Xu Cang is not the same person now. As soon as Huang Jing spoke, Xu Cang could smell a hint of conspiracy. Although Boeing seemed to have given in, there was a mine hidden in it, which was the so-called two-year supervision period.
"You don't want to get the flight data recorder of 1566 first, and then find a reason to take back the authorization within two years, right?" Xu Cang said with a smile.
Huang Jing was deeply moved by these words. He could only laugh awkwardly. "How could that be? Our company always judges based on aviation material standards. As long as the aviation materials produced by Mr. Xu meet the standards, there will naturally be no problem."
Xu Cang looked at Huang Jing deeply, his eyes full of scrutiny.
"If that's the case, then that's the best. But if you guys are playing some tricks, Boeing 777, you begged me once, and now 1566 is begging me again, but I don't know if you'll need me again next time. If you play tricks, it will cost you your credibility, and it will be hard to cooperate with you next time."
Xu Cang's words were obviously meant to imply something, how could Huang Jing not hear it? However, he could only laugh awkwardly and said, "Of course it is."
"Okay, it's a deal. Let's sign the agreement later." Xu Cang said with a smile.
He did not ask Boeing to make any guarantees. Anyway, if Boeing dared to play dirty tricks, he would make Boeing pay back several times. After all, Boeing thought it was the trough now, but in fact it had not yet reached the trough.
Huang Jing breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Xu Cang didn't say anything more. If Xu Cang insisted on arguing about the two-year supervision period, it would be difficult to talk about it later.
That's right, just as Xu Cang said, Boeing kept the two-year supervision period just to take back the authorization when the opportunity arose. However, since Xu Cang did not mention it again, it was naturally very good.
"Then let's draft an agreement as soon as possible..." Huang Jing was not willing to continue chatting with Xu Cang. Although he was facing a young man in his twenties, he always felt that he was being led by the nose.
After the conversation, Huang Jing left the reception room as if escaping.
Seeing that nothing was wrong, Xu Cang planned to have a meal first, and then try to contact Li Rongcheng to ask about the situation. As soon as he left the reception room, Qin Yi's lazy voice came from behind: "I didn't expect that you have such a big trick to control Boeing so well."
Xu Cang was startled. He turned around and found Qin Yi leaning against the wall at the door of the reception room, with his arms folded, staring at Xu Cang with a half-smile: "They say you can't judge a person by his appearance. I underestimated you."
Xu Cang really wanted to say, although you are my brother-in-law, it is never good to eavesdrop on other people’s conversations. And you can still put on such an attitude, you really have to be extremely shameless.
However, Xu Cang couldn't turn against Qin Yi, so he could only fight back: "I underestimated you too."
Qin Yi naturally understood what Xu Cang meant, but he didn't mind. He straightened his body and said, "You are going to set up a new company to manage aviation materials, right?"
Xu Cang frowned: "What do you mean?"
"I know how much Qin Xin has saved, and I also know that you come from an ordinary family. The Spring Airlines alone has almost used up all of Qin Xin's money. If he invests in an aviation materials company, I'm afraid the funds will be tight, right?" Qin Yi said with a smile.
Xu Cang finally understood: "Chunxia Group wants to get a piece of the pie?"
Aviation material companies do require a large initial investment, but they are basically a guaranteed profit. Who wouldn’t want to get a piece of the pie?
Qin Yi shook his head: "It's not Chunxia Group, it's me. I invested in my own name."
Xu Cang's eyes sparkled. His brother-in-law had a big appetite. However, Xu Cang couldn't just agree to it because of Qin Xin's relationship: "I am indeed short of money now, but you should also know that I have a good relationship with AVIC. I will cooperate with AVIC. I will provide Boeing authorization, and AVIC will produce finished aviation materials. As for the initial investment, I believe AVIC can also afford it. After all, no matter from which angle, this is a cost-effective deal. Why should I drag you in to share the money?"
That's right, Xu Cang had intended to cooperate with AVIC from the beginning. Firstly, he and AVIC had a good relationship and the basis for cooperation between the two sides was relatively good. Secondly, only AVIC could produce aviation materials that met the quality standards in China. No matter from which angle, AVIC was the most ideal partner and could solve everything Xu Cang lacked. There was no need to bring Qin Yi in.
As if he had thought of this in advance, Qin Yi said without thinking, "I heard that you want to open a route centered on Shanghai?"
Xu Cang's eyelids twitched, and he became interested. He was indeed a smart man, and it was comfortable to talk to him.
"How much can you help us?".
Qin Yi held up three fingers and said, "Three routes. Except for Hanjing, Yangcheng, and Rongfu, you can choose any other routes. This is just the limit of what I can do personally. If there are more, I will have to use the group's connections, and then things will be difficult."
Needless to say, Hanjing and Yangcheng, Rongfu has been rising rapidly recently, so it is understandable that the routes are not easy to manage. If there are three routes, then opening an overnight stop in Shanghai can make full use of it, which is indeed enough.
However, compared to this, Xu Cang was more concerned about something else.
“What about your offline sales network?”
No matter when, this is always what Xu Cang cares about most, and it is also what he believes to be the most valuable part of the Chunxia Group.
However, Qin Yi said without hesitation: "Impossible! Offline sales network is the foundation of our business, don't even think about it. Giving you a chance is already an exception, don't have any illusions."
Qin Yi's words were firm and decisive, leaving Xu Cang no room for negotiation at all. This shows the importance of the offline sales network to the Chunxia Group.
"If we sign a contract with Shanghai Airport, you can mediate. We don't want to be ripped off by the airport."
If you stay overnight at the airport, there will be a lot of airport fees , and you need to sign a contract. However, a rising star like Rongfu Airport has already been very angry, and the Shanghai Airport Group must be very angry, and it must have a local person to mediate.
Now it seems that Qin Yi’s identity is sufficient and he is a suitable candidate.
Qin Yi thought about it and nodded: "Sure! I have a good relationship with the CEO of Shanghai Airport Group. I can contact him for you."
Seeing Qin Yi readily agree, Xu Cang stretched out his right hand: "Happy cooperation."
…
Time passed quickly, and three days later, in the flight preparation room of Spring Airlines.
Xu Cang threw the Civil Aviation Administration's official newspaper on the table and cursed: "Are the people in the Education Center still so crazy?"
Just as Qin Xin's friend in the newspaper industry had said before, the issue of the newspaper where Xu Cang worked became an instant hit after it was published, and eventually even the official publications of the General Administration began to report on the related events.
However, the General Administration's Propaganda and Education Center was quite objective this time, saying only that this incident had narrowed the distance between the public and the aviation industry. There was nothing wrong with the comments, but the General Administration's official newspaper moved Xu Cang's ugly photo intact to the front page of the newspaper, which made Xu Cang extremely dissatisfied.
"Xu Cang, you know that our flights are all fully booked these two days, and your photos are more effective than advertisements." Shi Qi said with a smile.
Spring Airlines is not a big company to begin with, and some of the news is known to everyone and cannot be concealed.
Xu Cang snorted unhappily, but for the sake of the ten million, he endured it.
Today I am going to Urumqi with Shi Qi. This is a newly opened route.
Fortunately, just after the approval of this route came down, Spring Airlines was reported for unfair competition with low prices. If it was one day later, the route would have been gone.
This flight is very long, and it takes eight hours to go back and forth. It's okay for Xu Cang to land now, but he is short of time. This flight with a scheduled time just meets Xu Cang's requirements.
"Instructor, do you like melon seeds? Salty, original, or caramel?" After Xu Cang sat down, he took out three bags of melon seeds from the flight box and asked Shi Qi to choose.
There's no way. The eight-hour round trip is too much time. No one can bear it without crackling some melon seeds.
However, Shi Qi smiled mysteriously and took out a bag from the flight box, which seemed to contain an insulated box. There was also a small box, which contained a small hammer, tweezers, a small needle, a small spoon and other items, which looked very delicate.
Xu Cang was stunned for a moment, then quickly responded: "Eight pieces of crab?"
Shi Qi closed the small box: "Exactly!"
"What about the incubator?" Xu Cang was a little surprised: "Could it be hairy crabs?"
Shi Qi patted the insulated box and said, "It took me some time to find some good crabs at this time of year. I'll bring them to you for a taste when we cruise by."
If the crab season has long passed, it will be difficult to get hairy crabs with rich roe and meat.
However, compared to eating crabs at this time of year, Xu Cang was really amazed at Shi Qi's creative imagination. It was thanks to him that he could think of tasting crabs on the plane.
While Xu Cang was still wondering which flavor of melon seeds to eat, Shi Qi had already updated and upgraded, leaving Xu Cang far behind, which really opened Xu Cang's eyes.
Moreover, Shi Qi did not just eat the crabs, but also had a sense of ritual, which was really impressive. Not only Xu Cang, but also the flight attendants who were holding a preparation meeting nearby were quite surprised to see Shi Qi's posture.
"Teacher, I really admire you." Xu Cang put away the melon seeds dejectedly, trying not to embarrass himself.
Shi Qi also put away the things with a smile, and asked casually: "Xu Cang, I heard that the bureau is going to come down to check the files of various departments recently. Should we check it ourselves as well?"
"No need. We have only been established for a short time. There shouldn't be any problem, right?" Xu Cang said, but he was a little unconfident after saying it: "Why don't we check it out? It's not a big deal anyway."
Compared with those old companies that have been established for many years and have vast oceans of documents and archives, Spring Airlines has accumulated fewer documents and it is relatively easier to conduct self-inspection.
The authority's need to check the documents of various departments was influenced by the document falsification incident of South Korea's Asiana Airlines.
"I have heard of airlines falsifying documents, and I even know some of the real situations, but it is the first time I have seen such large-scale falsification as Asiana Airlines." Shi Qi sighed, "Asia Airlines is in trouble this time."
As far as Xu Cang knows, Korean Air has already taken action. According to Xiao Lingyun's feedback, public opinion in South Korea is extremely unfavorable to Asiana Airlines. In addition, the national atmosphere in South Korea is already quite extreme, and Asiana Airlines is now under great pressure and is in a very bad situation.
However, there was one thing that Xu Cang was more concerned about. That was the agreement between him and Park Seok-won, the president of Asiana Airlines. Looking at the current situation, it was impossible for Asiana Airlines to get flights from Seoul, Busan and Incheon to Shanghai, and Xu Cang had already persuaded Tiandong Airlines, which meant that Xu Cang had fulfilled his obligations under the agreement, while Asiana Airlines seemed to be in breach of contract.
However, even so, Asiana Airlines was still playing dead and not mentioning the breach of contract at all. Xu Cang was not in a hurry either. Anyway, Xiao Lingyun had gone to Korea, and he would have to talk to Park Seok-won on his behalf to make him remember this lesson.
Of course, given the harsh compensation standards for the defaulting party in the agreement, it would be difficult for Asiana Airlines to fulfill its obligations given its current situation. It would have to pay in exchange for something, and Xu Cang had already figured out what it was.
In other words, from the very beginning of reaching an agreement with Park Seok-won, Xu Cang knew what he should get from Asiana Airlines.
Just as Xu Cang was thinking, a burst of hurried footsteps came. Suddenly, Lu Jinghua appeared at the door of the preparation room.
Xu Cang's thoughts were interrupted. He looked at Lu Jinghua, who was panting at the door, and asked in surprise, "What's wrong?"
"Xu Cang!" Lu Jinghua took a deep breath and said, "Xu Cang, the single-shot verification at Qitai Airport seems to have... failed!"
