As Xu Cang hung up the phone, Ma Cheng also put away his phone outside the office of the head of the strategic department at the Yangcheng Muhua headquarters.
He looked back at his office, adjusted his mood a little, and then pushed the door open and walked in. Soon, Park Seok-won, the president of Asiana Airlines, stood up.
"Sorry, I'm very busy with work." Ma Cheng gestured to Park Seok-won to sit down and talk.
The two sat opposite each other, and Ma Cheng got straight to the point: "President Park, let me tell you straight. Korean Air has approached me, hoping that we can transfer our customers to them..."
Before Ma Cheng finished speaking, Park Seok-won, whose face slightly changed, interrupted him: "Mr. Ma, we at Asiana can adjust the profit sharing of the routes."
However, Ma Cheng waved his hand and said, "President Park, do you know how much profit sharing Korean Air offers? 20% to 80%. They only want 20%. Can you give 20% to Asiana Airlines?"
“Twenty percent!” Park Seok-won gasped. “They are crazy. If it’s twenty percent, they basically won’t make any money.”
"I don't care whether Korean Air makes money or not, as long as we make money at Muhua, that's fine. President Park, Korean Air has more wide-body aircraft than you do. With the cluster effect, their costs may be lower than yours. Twenty percent is basically no profit for Korean Air, and I'm afraid you will lose money."
It is obvious that Park Seok-won's handsome face is almost distorted.
"Mr. Ma, Asiana Airlines and Muhua Airlines have been cooperating for a long time, and we have a good relationship."
This made Ma Cheng laugh: "President Park, I don't know how to respond to you. Friendship, tsk tsk tsk, there is such a thing between Han Ya and Mu Hua, this is the first time I heard of it."
Ma Cheng leaned back and put his hands on the armrests. "It is certain that Muhua will re-sign an agreement with Korean Air. President Park, I deeply regret the current situation of Asiana Airlines. However, as a businessman, we should have expected this result."
Park Seok-won's face turned pale. The European and American passenger sources provided by Muhua Airlines were an important part of Asiana Airlines' international passenger sources. If they were lost, in today's environment, Asiana Airlines might be crushed.
Moreover, the board of directors had given him the responsibility for this matter, but it turned out like this, and he still had to bear the final responsibility. The board of directors was already quite dissatisfied with him, and now the complaints were probably even greater.
"Boss Ma, I have an unwelcome request." Park Seok-won asked, "If possible, can you please put the matter of changing your partner in a cold way?"
"Oh? Are you asking Muhua not to make it public?"
Park Seok-won nodded quickly: "That's right, please Mr. Ma, please consider our Asiana situation."
Mr. Ma said with a hint of regret: "President Park, I need to be responsible to our passengers. I must let them know the changes in our partners accurately. This is the obligation of an airline. Or is it that in Korea, such a big thing can be concealed, and the passengers' right to know is not guaranteed?"
"This..." Park Seok-won didn't expect Ma Cheng to refuse so straightforwardly. Although he came here with some preparation, he didn't expect that even the minimum requirements were not met.
Asiana Airlines has managed to hold on until now with great difficulty, could this be the end?
"President Park, don't think I'm heartless. In this fight between you and Korean Air, I held a huge bargaining chip. I could have used it to gain more, but I didn't. Let's part ways in peace. There's no need to make it seem like someone owed someone something."
Park Seok-won was stunned and didn't say anything, which was considered as his agreement with Ma Cheng's words.
Indeed, Muhua Airlines holds such important bargaining chips for passengers on European and American routes, which becomes even more important when Korean Air and Asiana Airlines are fighting each other to the death.
With Ma Cheng's means, it is not difficult to maximize the benefits of this bargaining chip. But Ma Cheng did not do so, which is already good for Asiana Airlines, which is relatively weak in the battle.
"I know, Mr. Ma." Park Seok-won already knew that he would not gain anything from this trip, so he no longer thought about staying. He slowly stood up and prepared to say goodbye: "In that case, I will not bother you any more."
After saying that, Park Seok-won turned around and was about to leave.
However, Ma Cheng stopped Park Seok-won and said, "President Park, if you don't mind, I have something to say to you."
Park Seok-won hadn’t thought of this part, but he still stopped and said, “Mr. Ma, you can go on.”
"The family of the chairman of Asiana Airlines does not participate in the management of the company. During this period, the responsibility of Asiana Airlines will fall more on President Park, even though President Park does not have much responsibility in essence." Ma Cheng said softly, "It is only a matter of time before Asiana Airlines collapses in the current situation. I heard that Korean Air also has a lot of opinions about you. From this point of view, President Park's future is worrying."
Talking about his future, Park Seok-won also felt bleak: "Don't you have an old saying in your country? It's all about fate!"
At this time, Ma Cheng also stood up: "Korean Airlines can't accommodate you, and Asiana Airlines can't accommodate you either, so why not change your thinking and find a third one? We also have an old saying, a wise bird chooses the right tree to roost in."
As he spoke, Ma Cheng walked to his desk, picked up a pen and wrote down a string of numbers on a note.
"Maybe you can seek a third way." Ma Cheng handed the note to Park Seok-won.
Park Seok-won took the note and asked uncertainly, "Phone number?"
Ma Cheng nodded: "You can give it a try."
Park Seok-won thought for a moment and put the note back into his pocket: "Thank you, Mr. Ma."
After that, he didn't say anything else, but left Ma Cheng's office neatly.
…
Later, Xu Cang did meet the owner of the land in Jeju Island. The two of them did not speak the same language, so they only had a brief chat with the help of an intermediary. They definitely could not discuss serious business.
If it really involves something important, this so-called real estate agent is not a person that the two of them trust. However, the two of them set a time, half a month later, Xu Cang will come to sign the contract formally. By then, both sides will bring a trusted translator, and they will also need to bring some necessary legal personnel to review the agreement.
Xu Cang did not feel any burden about purchasing the land in Jeju Island. The night before dawn is the most difficult to endure, and it is obvious that the owner of the land is about to give up.
After discussing the matters on Jeju Island, Xu Cang did not stay in Korea for long. He returned to Shanghai from Jeju Island, and then returned to Erhai Lake from Shanghai.
However, as soon as Xu Cang arrived at Erhai Lake, he received the news that his plane had run off the runway.
Although only the front wheel entered the grass and the aircraft was basically not damaged, the nature of the incident would be different as soon as the wheel left the runway.
Regardless of the outcome of the incident, the first thing to do is to figure out what went wrong in order to avoid the possibility of it happening again.
"The front wheel device is frozen? Is there such a thing?" Looking at the photos of the aircraft provided by Lu Jinghua, Xu Cang was stunned.
The photo shows the front landing gear of the aircraft. However, the entire front landing gear strut has been completely covered by ice and snow, with only one wheel exposed.
Lu Jinghua explained: "After the front wheel of the plane went out, the crew called for a tow truck. This photo was taken by the maintenance staff at the time. The initial judgment is that the ice and snow froze the front wheel steering device, making it impossible for the plane to turn."
Even Xu Cang had encountered such a thing for the first time, let alone other pilots.
Xu Cang put the photo aside and said, "Today I've really opened my eyes. I didn't know there was such a thing. It should only take about five or six minutes for a plane to land from the time it lowers its landing gear. How could so much snow accumulate?"
"You are from the south, right? Have you ever seen such heavy snow?"
"I'm from the south, but... never mind." Xu Cang originally wanted to say that he had also encountered heavy snow in Qitai, but after thinking about it, he decided not to say it: "Confirm the situation. If it is really caused by frozen snow, don't make it too difficult for the crew. Who would have thought of this?"
The punishment should still be imposed. Xu Cang’s point is not to escalate the problem. After all, there are indeed some objective factors involved.
Lu Jinghua nodded: "Well, we checked the crew's operation. The speed of leaving the runway was normal, and the handling was timely. It's just that the road surface was slippery and they failed to brake. We must deal with it, but I know the extent of it."
"Well, just keep an eye on it. The Southwest Bureau should come over to ask about this, right?"
"Of course. The matter wasn't that bad, so the Northeastern Bureau didn't intervene and let the Southwestern Bureau handle it. The Southwestern Bureau called me not long ago and will come over tomorrow. By the way, they specifically asked to talk to you."
"With me?" Xu Cang found it a little unbelievable. "What are you talking to me about? It's not like I've done anything wrong."
Lu Jinghua shrugged, "How should I know? Oh, just cooperate. It's good enough that only the Southwest Bureau came. If someone from the General Administration's Aviation Security Department came, it would be a mess. Cooperate, cooperate."
Xu Cang scratched his head: "Why do I feel like I'm being used as a shield?"
"No need to feel, that's it." Lu Jinghua said with a smile: "By the way, Mr. Qin will come to see you later, you stay here for a while, I'm going to go out and get busy first."
"Hey, talk to the dispatch room and ask them to assign me a shift in Binjiang. I want to see for myself whether the snow is really that heavy in Binjiang." Xu Cang instructed: "Also, after this matter is investigated, issue a notice on the possibility of the front wheels freezing when turning in icy and snowy weather."
"Do you need me to tell you this? The first draft of the notice has already been prepared. I'll review it and send it out."
After saying that, Lu Jinghua left the room directly.
But just as Lu Jinghua came out, he saw a familiar figure standing in the open space not far away. Lu Jinghua was stunned: "Weiwei?"
"You are really busy." Xin Weiwei, cabin manager of Blue Sky Airlines, came over slowly, but the shaky button on the top of her shirt undoubtedly reflected how broad-minded Xin Weiwei was.
"It's all just a waste of time." Lu Jinghua came forward with a smile on his face.
The relationship between the two is unusual. As soon as they get close, the sour smell of love hits you in the face.
"Are you busy? If not, come walk with me. I have something to tell you from Blue Sky Airlines."
"Oh, so I asked you to be the messenger? What are you trying to say that I have to ask you to say?" Lu Jinghua said jokingly.
It wasn't the Vice President of Operations, nor the General Manager of the Flight Department, but the Cabin Manager. What did this mean? He was just interested in Xin Weiwei's relationship with him and wanted to play the emotional card.
However, the more such tricks were used, the more it showed that Luo Yong was guilty, which in turn made Lu Jinghua feel curious.
"Let's go and talk while we walk." Xin Weiwei walked away first, and Lu Jinghua followed.
"I heard that Spring Airlines has obtained priority at Jianchuan Airport?" Xin Weiwei got straight to the point after walking a few steps. Given her relationship with Lu Jinghua, there was really no need to hide anything.
After hearing this, Lu Jinghua figured it out immediately and spread his hands: "I also heard that you are going to open international routes to Southeast Asia. Isn't this the reason for you?"
"If you want to open an international route at Jianchuan Airport, you must obtain the consent of the airline with local airport priority. Don't you know this?" Xin Weiwei sighed: "The flight department wants to open Cebu, and everything else is ready, but it's stuck with the Jianchuan Airport Group."
Lu Jinghua curled his lips: "So I want you to convince me, and then use me to get Xu Cang to agree to the Cebu route, is that what you mean?"
Xin Weiwei suddenly stopped and burst out laughing: "Isn't this obvious? Can it be done?"
"It can be done, but I don't want to do it." Lu Jinghua was honest: "I think Xu Cang will know about this soon. By then, he will make his own decision whether to agree or not. He doesn't need my influence."
"But you can indeed influence him based on the relationship between you two." Xin Weiwei put away her smile and said seriously.
"Weiwei, you don't understand." Lu Jinghua shook his head: "You are not a pilot, so you can't feel the speed of Xu Cang's rise, so you don't have a sense of awe. Have you ever thought about why Spring Airlines can get priority? Xu Cang is already an unstoppable trend. We just need to follow him. Just by following him, we can achieve a level that was unimaginable before."
"So don't try to influence him, don't try to do things that are not in line with your position, just follow him."
Xin Weiwei couldn't help but frowned: "Are you afraid of him?"
Lu Jinghua didn't say anything, which is worth pondering.
Xin Weiwei was surprised by Lu Jinghua's reaction: "Jinghua, even if Spring Airlines obtains the priority of Jianchuan Airport, it is not one of the three major hubs after all, not even Rongfu Airport. The development speed and potential of Jianchuan Airport can only make Spring Airlines a strong regional airline. So, do you have to be so cautious?"
"I said you don't understand. What you see is just the tip of the iceberg, and you think that's all." Lu Jinghua said seriously: "In this world, there is only one person who can directly influence Xu Cang without worrying about any problems, and that person is not me."
The two looked at each other, and Xin Weiwei saw a lot in Lu Jinghua's eyes. She took a deep breath and said, "It seems that I underestimated him when I first met him."
The first time Xin Weiwei met Xu Cang was with Xia Shuyue. It was not only her first meeting with Xu Cang, but also her first meeting with Lu Jinghua. From then on, their fate began.
"Weiwei, don't stay at Blue Sky Airlines anymore. Come here. The position of cabin manager here is still vacant. You may not be able to be the first cabin manager due to your qualifications, but there will definitely be no problem for you to be the successor."
Xin Weiwei said in disbelief: "It took me so long to climb to the position of cabin manager, and you want me to throw it away just like that?"
Seeing that Xin Weiwei still didn't understand the situation, Lu Jinghua said anxiously, "Blue Sky Airlines is about to disappear, what are you still clinging to?"
Xin Weiwei was startled, then frowned: "What are you talking about?"
Just as Lu Jinghua and Xin Weiwei were arguing, Xu Cang, who stayed in the room, was not feeling very comfortable, and Qin Xin came over.
Qin Xin did not mention the incident of the plane running off the runway. Instead, she frowned as soon as she came in, found a chair in the room and sat down. She just sat there without saying a word.
Xu Cang endured it for five minutes until his scalp became numb.
My goodness, his temper really hasn't changed at all.
Before his rebirth, he and Qin Xin were married. In real life, if Qin Xin was angry, she would not make a big fuss, but would just sit there, not say anything, and would not show any angry behavior.
However, this reaction made Xu Cang feel most uncomfortable.
In the end, Xu Cang was defeated: "What's the matter? You don't want to know about the priority of Jianchuan Airport?"
Qin Xin snorted: "Don't you know what's going on? Tell me, what's going on?"
"What's the big deal? I just helped a little." Xu Cang wanted to perfunctorily answer, but after meeting Qin Xin's cold gaze, he could only touch his nose awkwardly: "Well, it's just that the favor was a little difficult. But, I'm so powerful, isn't it easy for me?"
"Xu Cang!" Qin Xin didn't say much, just called Xu Cang's name lightly.
Xu Cang stood up immediately as if by reflex: "Here!"
"What did you tell me that time in Jakarta? You still want to hide it from me, huh?" Qin Xin's tone was not harsh, but the nasal sound at the end sounded like a heart-breaking remark to Xu Cang's ears, and his heart was trembling.
Xu Cang was helpless: "It's nothing to me, it's not even a scratch, right?"
"The skin isn't even broken, but you can't tell me, right?" Qin Xin asked back.
"It's really inconvenient to involve that."
Qin Xin raised her eyebrows, like a sharp sword. She was so smart that she immediately understood the meaning of Xu Cang's words.
"Forget it, I won't ask anymore. But I have to restrain you, otherwise you will hide everything from me in the future. What will happen?" Qin Xin took out a paper document from somewhere and said, "This is a letter of guarantee. Sign it and promise not to hide anything in the future."
Xu Cang took a look at what Qin Xin was holding: "Ah? The letter of guarantee is so thick."
Qin Xin glared at Xu Cang and said, "You won't sign?"
"Sign, sign, sign!" Xu Cang nodded hurriedly, took the document from Qin Xin, found the right place, and signed his name directly.
"Also, put your hand print." Qin Xin actually held a piece of ink in front of Xu Cang, which made Xu Cang stunned.
"So formal?" Xu Cang asked casually, "Isn't this a contract to sell your body?"
However, Qin Xin did not give Xu Cang any chance to react. She simply grabbed Xu Cang's hand and rubbed it on the ink pad, then pressed it on the place where he had just signed.
Then, Qin Xin shouted, "Alright!"
As a result, Qin Xin's secretary appeared outside the door. Qin Xin handed the document to the secretary: "It's done!"
Xu Cang was startled: "What the hell is that?"
"Equity transfer agreement! I asked you to sign it before, but you refused. I had to use some tricks on you." Qin Xin smiled contentedly and said, "Now 51% of Spring Airlines' shares belong to you. You are the major shareholder."
Xu Cang shouted: "Is this really a body-selling contract?"
The equity transfer that others dream of is actually like a contract of sale to Xu Cang, which is really outrageous.
At this moment, Qin Xin's secretary received a call, but she hung up soon and interrupted: "Miss, the secretariat received a fax from ANA, hoping to discuss cooperation with you."
"Hmm?" Qin Xin was startled. Sending a special letter of notification like this was quite formal, which showed that the other party was very sincere. But when did Spring Airlines and All Nippon Airways have any areas of cooperation?
"Are you sure it's ANA?" At this time, Xu Cang stopped joking and asked seriously.
Qin Xin's secretary nodded: "Yes, it has been confirmed. All Nippon Airways has reported that if they agree to negotiate, their president is already waiting in Jianchuan."
"So fast?" Qin Xin was a little surprised. The president of ANA acted too quickly.
"Miss, do you want to see me?"
Qin Xin didn't say anything, but looked at Xu Cang. However, Xu Cang smiled and said, "Why not? I want to see what they are up to?"
Qin thought for a moment and said, "Then let's arrange it. Xu Cang and I will go to Jianchuan."
…
In the aviation material warehouse of the Spring and Summer Aviation Base, a staff member was reviewing a new batch of aviation materials, and next to him stood Zhang Desheng, the purchaser of this batch of aviation materials.
"Engine, one, tire..." The staff checked each item one by one, ticking the box on the list after each one was checked, while Zhang Desheng followed behind with an unnatural look on his face.
The staff started the review by starting with the valuable aviation materials. However, the quantity of aviation materials this time is quite large, so it is estimated that the review will take a while.
It took me more than an hour, and there are still some miscellaneous parts that I haven't looked at yet.
Even though it wasn't a physically demanding job, the staff member was still a little tired after bending over and checking for more than an hour. He twisted his waist slightly and pointed to the pile of items left at the back: "What are these?"
"They are all decorations and cabin supplies." Zhang Desheng said with a smile.
"Oh, then..." The staff member tapped his waist, took a look at the sundries over there, flipped through a few of them casually, and after confirming that they were correct, he checked all the remaining items at once.
"Okay, okay, let's go and have a drink!" The staff member was quite casual. He took the work order directly and patted Zhang Desheng on the shoulder.
Zhang Desheng looked at the remaining pile of aviation materials, secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately put on a smile: "Let's go, I'll treat you."
…
About two hours later, Xu Cang and Qin Xin appeared in the city of Jianchuan. According to the agreement, Xu Cang and Qin Xin came to the best Japanese restaurant in Jianchuan. As soon as they entered the private room, they saw a woman waiting inside.
Seeing Xu Cang and the other man coming in, the woman stood up. She was almost as tall as Xu Cang, with neat and refreshing long hair and exaggerated long legs, which was really visually impactful.
"Hello, my name is Guan Yueling, the president of ANA." Her Chinese was soft and had no accent at all, which was very pleasant to hear.
It has to be said that the president of ANA is extremely consistent with Xu Cang's aesthetic in terms of appearance and temperament, except that he is a little too tall.
The three of them introduced themselves to each other and then sat on both sides.
As soon as the three of them sat down, Guan Yueling snapped his fingers and the waiter started serving the dishes.
Japanese food is basically the same stuff, Qin Xin didn't dislike it, but Xu Cang didn't like fish sashimi, so he only ate some shellfish and shrimp sashimi.
Guan Yueling noticed this and asked considerately, "Mr. Xu, are you not used to Japanese food?"
"I don't like fish." Xu Cang did not hide it and spoke frankly.
"Then I'll ask the store to change the menu. Because time is tight, the menu was my own decision. I'm very sorry."
Xu Cang put down his chopsticks: "No need, I didn't come here just for dinner, it's fine as long as it's about the same, let's get down to business."
Guan Yueling also put down his chopsticks, smiled, and looked at Xu Cang with great interest: "Mr. Xu looks younger than in the photo."
Xu Cang frowned immediately. He really didn't like this roundabout way of speaking.
However, Guan Yueling did not say too much irrelevant words and quickly turned back to the topic: "We intend to open a southwest route in China. But I heard that Spring Airlines has obtained priority at Jianchuan Airport, so naturally we need Mr. Xu's approval."
It seems that Guan Yueling has done her homework and knows that the real person in charge of Spring Summer Airlines is not Qin Xin, but Xu Cang.
"Then I want to know what we can get from it." Xu Cang was as straightforward as ever.
Guan Yueling smiled and said, "If Mr. Xu agrees, we will give him a satisfactory amount."
"But that's a one-time thing. I've never really liked disposable things. Besides, we don't need your money. We want other things."
Qin Xin had been silent beside him. After hearing what Xu Cang said, she called out softly, "Xu Cang."
This is not to stop Xu Cang, but to make Xu Cang think it over before making a decision. He cannot act on impulse in such a situation.
Xu Cang privately patted the back of Qin Xin's hand to reassure her, then said with a smile: "If you want to open an international route in Jianchuan, you can! However, I will send a group of people to your side. You must promise to teach us everything you know about the in-flight services."
As a result, not only Guan Yueling, but even Qin Xin was quite surprised. They never expected that this was what Xu Cang wanted.
"Inflight service." Guan Yueling murmured to himself.
Apart from anything else, ANA's in-flight service is quite high-end. If Xu Cang wants to learn ANA's in-flight service, it is because...
Guan Yueling's eyes lit up: "Mr. Xu, I didn't expect you to be interested in international routes."
She knew that Spring Airlines was a low-cost airline and that it basically took a low-cost route for domestic flights. In this environment, the demand for in-flight services was low due to the low cost, so there was really no need to learn from ANA, and naturally it was not for domestic routes.
"No one wants to earn hard-earned money all the time." Xu Cang made no secret of it.
International routes are originally a high-end mode of transportation. Even if the airline itself is a low-cost airline, it cannot be too cheap on international routes and the service level must be improved.
In the spirit of learning from the best, at least in Asia, ANA's inflight service is one of the best. If you want to learn from others, then ANA is the best. Moreover, it is delivered to your door, how convenient.
Guan Yueling smiled and did not answer immediately. Instead, he turned his head to Qin Xin and said, "Miss Qin also means this?"
Qin Xin nodded slightly: "Xu Cang is now the major shareholder of Spring Airlines, he has the final say."
"Oh?" This unexpected information surprised Guan Yueling a little, but it didn't affect anything. She just nodded and said, "The upper limit is 20 people, only for the crew members. If there are more, it will be difficult for me to handle it."
Xu Cang clapped his hands: "Okay!"
"It's really a pleasure to work with Mr. Xu." Guan Yueling didn't expect the conversation to go so smoothly. "I see Mr. Xu seems to prefer shrimps and shellfish. Should I ask someone to change the menu?"
Xu Cang was also in a good mood: "Okay!"
Anyway, it's Guan Yueling who pays for it in the end, so it would be a waste if you don't eat it.
However, just when Guan Yueling wanted to call the waiter, the door of the private room suddenly opened and a burly man rushed in from outside.
Such reckless behavior made Guan Yueling somewhat dissatisfied. This man was her subordinate and such behavior was very rude.
However, before Guan Yueling could react, the man bent down and whispered something in Guan Yueling's ear. Suddenly, Guan Yueling, who had been keeping his composure, changed his expression and stood up suddenly.
This stop scared Qin Xin directly, but Xu Cang's reaction was indifferent.
"President Guanyue seems to have something important to do?" Xu Cang said indifferently.
Guan Yueling calmed down a little, glanced at his anxious subordinates, and said in a relatively calm tone: "Mr. Xu, I'm sorry, I probably can't have dinner with you two. I really have something important to attend to. I'll discuss the opening of international routes in detail later."
After saying that, Guan Yueling actually wanted to leave.
This was something Qin Xin had not expected. Guan Yueling's behavior was really puzzling as he just left without saying anything.
However, just as Guan Yueling walked to the door, Xu Cang suddenly said, "President Guan Yue, are you reacting so strongly to Japan Airlines opening international routes to Shanghai and Guangzhou?"
Guan Yueling suddenly stopped and looked back at Xu Cang.
"I'm sorry, your subordinate didn't seem to be able to control his emotions well, and his voice was a little loud."
"You can understand Japanese?" Guan Yueling asked in surprise.
"I understand a little bit!" Xu Cang said with a smile: "I don't care about the matter between you and Japan Airlines, but I don't want to delay my work. If possible, I want to sign the training agreement as soon as possible."
Just like Korean Air and Asiana Airlines in South Korea, Japan Airlines and All Nippon Airways are also fighting fiercely.
"As soon as possible, how fast do you want?"
"Even if you go back now, it won't change anything. If President Guanyue doesn't mind, wait for me for two days. I'll get a visa and go back to Japan with you to get things done." Xu Cang smiled and said, "Besides, get my business done first. Maybe I can help with the opening of the Shanghai-Yangcheng route."
Guan Yueling was really interested now: "Mr. Xu, do you have any connection with Tiandong Airlines and Muhua Airlines?"
"Not much, just a little!" Xu Cang said with a smile: "Of course, this is a different price."
Guan Yueling looked at Xu Cang deeply, and finally smiled very brightly: "Then I will thank you for your help, Mr. Xu. We will help you with the visa issue. It will be done for you tomorrow in less than two days, and then we will set off tomorrow night. How about it?"
"Of course it would be great." Xu Cang also had a lot of things to do, so he would definitely try to finish them as quickly as possible. He also didn't want to waste too much time at ANA.
Guan Yueling nodded slightly: "It's a deal. Mr. Xu, go back and make preparations. We will take care of the visa issue."
After Guan Yueling left, Qin Xin approached Xu Cang and said, "Aren't you tired of being in such a hurry?"
Xu Cang had just returned from South Korea and was about to go to Japan again. It was normal for Qin Xin to worry that Xu Cang was too tired.
"It's okay! I still have a lot of things to do later. I don't want to drag on the ANA matter, so it's better to resolve it as soon as possible." Xu Cang thought to himself: "Like I just said, we will definitely open international routes in the future. It will also start from Southeast Asia and Japan and South Korea. ANA is a good teacher in international routes. This time they need our help, so we must seize this opportunity."
"Okay, I'll listen to you." Since Xu Cang said so, Qin Xin naturally had no objection.
Xu Cang was a man of high spirits. Since he had made up his mind, he would just do it. Sure enough, Guan Yueling was very efficient. He took Xu Cang to the embassy early the next morning, got a visa, and went straight to the airport without any delay.
However, since there are no direct flights to Tokyo, Xu Cang and Guan Yueling have to fly to Osaka first, and then fly to Tokyo from Osaka. It only takes about an hour to fly from Osaka to Tokyo, which is not troublesome.
According to the plan, after getting the visa in the morning, I boarded a plane in the afternoon and headed straight to Osaka, Japan.
…
At about the same time, at the extremely busy security checkpoint at Tokyo's Haneda Airport, a thin man in a black jacket placed a gray duffel bag into an X-ray machine.
After he had completed the inspection, his luggage was stopped by the X-ray machine staff.
"Are there knives inside?" the staff asked.
The man nodded naturally, then opened his bag and took out a knife the length of his palm: "This is it."
The staff took the knife out of the scabbard and found no blood groove on the blade. It seemed to be just an ordinary fruit knife.
"You can't carry this with you. You will go to check it in later. This thing can be checked in." The staff member put the knife back into the sheath, called over his colleague, and motioned for the man to follow his colleague to check in the luggage.
During this period, Japan can accept the consignment of some dangerous goods, such as certain knives, which is different from domestic regulations.
It is for this reason that the staff did not react much when they saw the knife in the man's bag. As long as the passenger is willing to check it in instead of carrying it with him, there will basically be no problem.
The man took the knife, put it back into his bag, and smiled brightly: "Okay! I'll check it in."
