In a cafe somewhere in Tokyo, Yukio Nakamura squinted his eyes and sipped his coffee. There was no one sitting opposite him, but a cup of coffee had been placed in front of his seat, and it seemed that he was waiting for someone.
A moment later, Fujido Tsuyoshi came hurriedly with a smile on his face and sat directly opposite Nakamura Yukio.
"Mr. Nakamura, have you changed your mind?" Fujido Tsuyoshi said with a smile.
Fujido Tsuyoshi likes to pester people, but that doesn't mean he's stupid. Before, he could sense that Nakamura Yukio was not deliberately hiding the news, but genuinely didn't want to reveal it. However, out of professional habit, he still planned to pester him.
As a result, just before the end of the get off work day, Fujido Tsuyoshi suddenly received a call from Nakamura Yukio, asking him to meet at this cafe. This was a signal that couldn't be more obvious, and Fujido Tsuyoshi couldn't help but be excited.
"Please sit down." Nakamura Yukio pointed at the coffee in front of Fujido Tsune's seat and said, "Try it. The coffee here is good."
Fujido Tsuyoshi slightly restrained his smile and gently touched the coffee cup with the back of his finger. The temperature was just right. It must be said that Nakamura Yukio calculated the advance time very accurately. As soon as Fujido Tsuyoshi sat down, the coffee temperature was just right.
Fujido Tsuyoshi didn't hesitate and drank half a cup of coffee directly, which made Nakamura Yukio frown.
Burning the piano and cooking the crane is really a shame.
However, this time Yukio Nakamura did not make any sarcastic remarks. After all, he had to ask for help from others, so he had to put on a good attitude.
Fujido Tsuyoshi might have noticed that his behavior was not very good, but after drinking, he wiped his mouth very roughly. This was basically his subconscious action. After wiping his mouth, he realized that it was inappropriate, so he laughed: "Mr. Nakamura, don't mind, I just ran all the way here, I am very thirsty, I am rude."
"It's okay. I'm used to it anyway." Nakamura Yukio rubbed his temple and waved his hand: "I really want to give you something when I asked you to come here this time."
As he spoke, Nakamura Yukio took out a small box from his bag, which contained a memory card the size of a fingernail. He threw it to Fujido Tsuyoshi and said calmly, "It's an audio file. You can listen to it."
Fujido Tsuyoshi was overjoyed. He quickly took out the memory card and inserted it into his mobile phone. Then he picked up the headphones with one hand and used the other hand to operate the mobile phone to search for the audio file that Nakamura Yukio mentioned in the memory card.
Soon, Fujido Tsuyoshi found the audio file. It was very easy to find because there was only this one file on the entire memory card.
"Did I listen to it?" Before putting in the headphones, Fujido Tsuyoshi specifically asked for Nakamura Yukio's opinion.
Yukio Nakamura sipped his coffee gracefully without saying a word, but just nodded slightly.
Seeing that Yukio Nakamura agreed, Fujido Tsuyoshi impatiently put on his headphones and opened the audio file on his mobile phone.
Soon, the same audio recording that Yukio Nakamura had heard in the cockpit audio monitoring room was presented to Fujido Tsuyoshi. However, this audio recording was less than two minutes long, and Fujido Tsuyoshi naturally knew that it was edited and was only a part of the entire cockpit audio recording, but it was enough, especially since he heard one of the people say a word.
"Even if everyone on the plane is dead, you are not allowed to open the door!"
The audio stopped abruptly here. Fujido Tsuyoshi was unable to react for a moment and quickly rewound and played it again.
After the second confirmation, Fujido Tsuyoshi was no longer dissatisfied with Nakamura Yukio's way of editing the audio. Just based on the last sentence, it was definitely a breaking news.
"Is this what the crew said?" asked Fujido Tsuyoshi.
Yukio Nakamura tilted his head and thought for a moment: "I guess so."
"But his accent doesn't sound like ours."
Yukio Nakamura laughed and said, “He’s a pilot from CAAC, so naturally he has an accent.”
"CAAC pilot?" Fujido Tsuyoshi was stunned. "How come their pilot was on an ANA plane and was even recorded in the cockpit voice?"
Yukio Nakamura thought for a moment and put down his coffee cup. "Forget it. Anyway, these will be made public soon. It doesn't hurt for me to tell you in advance. Why was the CAAC pilot's voice recorded in the cockpit voice recorder? Of course, he entered the cockpit. Not only that, he also completed an emergency landing in Tokyo Bay."
"What!?" Fujitang was almost shocked and jumped up: "Really?"
Fujido Tsuyoshi's shout startled most of the coffee shop. Nakamura Yukio clicked his tongue and glared at him in dissatisfaction.
Fujido Tsuyoshi immediately realized that he had lost his composure and quickly apologized to the people around him, and only then did the situation calm down.
When people around him stopped paying attention to this side, Nakamura Yukio snorted: "If you keep being so impatient, I will find someone else."
“No, no, no!” Fujido Tsuyoshi immediately assured: “No, no, no, this is the last time!”
Yukio Nakamura let out a long sigh and calmed down. "You ask if it's true? Of course it's true. From the beginning of the incident, more than 80% of the aircraft operations were completed by the CAAC pilot."
"I just heard his self-introduction in the video. He said he is a flight specialist of ICAO." Fujido Tsuyoshi said puzzledly.
"It's not important." Nakamura Yukio waved his hand: "What's important is what he said. How do you feel?"
"Hehehe!" Fujitaro let out a low laugh as piercing as a night owl. "Even if everyone on the plane died... this sentence alone is enough to cause a sensation. Nowadays, people can make a fuss for a long time over the death of a cat or dog, let alone such extreme remarks, and they came from the mouth of a pilot. By the way, what are the airline's regulations regarding hijackers requesting to enter the cockpit?"
"As far as I know, ANA's regulations state that the cockpit door can be opened if necessary after the criminals endanger the safety of people in the cabin," said Yukio Nakamura.
"This is what the general public thinks." Fujido Tsuyoshi sneered, "This pilot named Xu Cang really doesn't know his job."
"Haha, he doesn't know anything. Do you mean he's unprofessional?" Nakamura Yukio sneered, "If he's not professional, then more than 99% of the world's pilots are useless."
Fujido Tsuyoshi obviously did not expect Nakamura Yukio to say this. This was clearly an act of flattery that backfired.
"Okay, don't worry about whether he's professional or not. Just focus on what he said. Isn't that your profession?" Yukio Nakamura said lightly.
"But Mr. Nakamura, you just..." Halfway through his words, Fujido Tsuyoshi's mind suddenly lit up, and he suddenly realized, "I see, I see! Such a great achievement was taken by a foreigner, I guess you JCAB must be ashamed, so you want to suppress him?"
Yukio Nakamura did not comment, but his attitude was already very clear.
Seeing Nakamura Yukio's reaction, Fujido Tsuneyoshi said with a sinister smile: "Mr. Nakamura's performance really matches my perception of you."
If you can't improve yourself, then just slander others, which is much easier. What's more, Xu Cang has a so-called "slip of the tongue" as a handle, which makes it even easier.
However, Fujitang just thought of a question: "If that's the case, why not find a more professional civil aviation newspaper?"
Compared with those professional newspaper media, the newspaper where Fujido Tsuyoshi works does seem a bit unreliable.
Yukio Nakamura took a sip of coffee: "Professional newspapers are for professionals to read, and..."
Fujido was startled: "And what?"
Yukio Nakamura laughed: "From the perspective of professionals like us, there is actually nothing wrong with what Xu Cang said."
…
In the VIP ward of St. Luke's Hospital, Xu Cang was planning to rest, but he was greeted by an unexpected guest, the president of Japan Airlines, Hideki Nagano.
Looking at the tall and gentle Nagano Hideki, Xu Cang couldn't help but feel a little doubtful about his memory. He remembered that the president of Japan Airlines was famous for his bad temper, and even in CAAC, he could hear of his name.
However, judging from the first impression, Nagano Hideki does not seem to be associated with the word "violent".
Xu Cang was wearing a hospital gown, leaning against the window to bask in the sun. His left hand was still bandaged, but his complexion was still okay.
"I wonder what brings President Nagano here?" Xu Cang did not act too polite and just stayed where he was, as if the person standing in front of him was not the president of Japan Airlines, but an ordinary passerby.
"Your Japanese accent is very heavy. Did you teach yourself?" Nagano Hideki was wearing a dark blue suit and was very tall, probably half a head taller than Xu Cang.
Speaking of this, Xu Cang immediately became unhappy: "President Nagano is here to introduce a Japanese teacher to me?"
He hated people who were beating around the bush, especially strangers. Xu Cang would not be patient with such people.
Nagano Hideki didn't expect Xu Cang to have an even worse temper than himself, so he could only say helplessly: "Mr. Xu Cang's personality is really straightforward, which is completely different from his appearance."
Xu Cang has a girlish appearance and looks weak and frail, but he has a very bad temper. There is indeed a certain contrast.
Xu Cang frowned all of a sudden: "Do you think I'm idle?"
Seeing Xu Cang's displeasure, Nagano Hideki didn't want to say anything useless, so he immediately said, "I wonder if Mr. Xu Cang is willing to cooperate with Japan Airlines?"
"Cooperate with you?" Xu Cang was stunned: "We have already cooperated with ANA. It is not a good idea to cooperate with JAL again. Moreover, from a business perspective, JAL is not as good as ANA."
Xu Cang was not interested in the domestic market of Japan. He was interested in the international route market. However, Japan Airlines was already very mature in the international route market, and Xu Cang could hardly gain more benefits by cooperating with them. On the contrary, ANA was still in the development stage in the international market and could have more bargaining chips.
In fact, Xu Cang has made it very clear. No matter from which angle, Japan Airlines is not a good partner compared with All Nippon Airways. Not to mention, Xu Cang knows the history of future development. Although Japan Airlines is thriving now, it is destined to be overtaken by All Nippon Airways in the future.
Whether in terms of current cooperation or future betting, ANA is much better than JAL.
Nagano Hideki was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly and said, "Mr. Xu Cang, although ANA has caused us some trouble in the domestic market, we still have a great advantage in the more profitable international market. Why do we seem so unbearable in Mr. Xu Cang's mouth?"
"Who can predict the future?" Xu Cang spread his hands and said casually, "Just like you have had a monopoly on international routes for nearly 20 years, you only have a few more advantages than ANA. There are advantages, but not as many as you might imagine."
"I didn't expect Mr. Xu Cang to pay attention to this?"
"I'm just telling the truth." Xu Cang raised his eyelids and said, "Tell me what you want to do. It doesn't look like you want to cooperate with Spring Airlines. If it is, I have already made it very clear just now."
Xu Cang's words were indeed very clear, but Nagano Hideki did not leave, which also showed that he did not come for Spring Airlines.
"Mr. Xu Cang, I just said that it is you who are cooperating with us, not your Spring Airlines." Nagano Hideki said with a smile.
"Me?" Xu Cang was puzzled.
If some engine or aircraft manufacturers approached Xu Cang alone, it would be reasonable, after all, Xu Cang is quite valuable in test flights. But what does it mean that Japan Airlines approached Xu Cang alone? Does it mean that Japan Airlines has some other ideas in the field of aircraft design and manufacturing?
But the problem is that if there is an idea, it should be Mitsubishi Heavy Industries. Why does Japan Airlines dare to have an idea?
Xu Cang picked up the tea and drank some water: "What can I cooperate with you?"
Nagano Hideki smiled and said, "Be our spokesperson. To be more precise, the spokesperson for domestic routes."
puff!
Xu Cang spat out a mouthful of water and hurriedly found a tissue to wipe it off, looking a little embarrassed.
Nagano Hideki was even more speechless: "Mr. Xu Cang, is this a horrible thing? It made you react so strongly. In Japan, there are many big stars vying to be the spokesperson for our Japan Airlines. This should be a good job."
Xu Cang wiped it a few times casually and asked tentatively: "If I understand correctly, is it an endorsement like a celebrity?"
"Of course, it's the same as what Mr. Xu Cang thought. What do you think?" Nagano Hideki said halfway, and he looked at Xu Cang. The more he looked, the more satisfied he felt: "When I first came here, I thought the operator was the captain. Although it was a bit unreasonable, the captain's appearance was a little...unsatisfactory, and I felt a little pressured. However, when I learned that the operator was Mr. Xu Cang, I felt fortunate from the bottom of my heart. Mr. Xu Cang's appearance is much better than those stars. No matter from which angle, he will be a perfect spokesperson."
"No, wait a minute." Xu Cang quickly stopped Nagano Hideki from talking and said seriously, "President Nagano, I'm a pilot, not a star. How can I be an endorsement agent?"
"Who says pilots can't work as commercial endorsements?" Nagano Hideki asked, "Is there such a rule in CCAR?"
"This..." Xu Cang was speechless after being refuted: "Uh... probably not."
"Isn't that right? There is no violation, so why can't we agree to it?" Nagano Hideki said with a smile: "This should also be a good deal for Mr. Xu Cang. When it comes to compensation, we at Japan Airlines have always been very generous."
Xu Cang imagined himself being a spokesperson, but the thought was too hard to believe.
"If I agree, I will need to cooperate with you to do a lot of work later, right?" Xu Cang asked.
Nagano Hideki smiled and said, "Of course, such as filming, accepting interviews and so on."
At this point, Xu Cang was no longer interested in Japan Airlines' so-called compensation: "Forget it, go find someone else. This is the job of a celebrity, go find them."
My time is very precious. I have to shoot and accept interviews just for a little money. I think I'd better give up after thinking about it.
But this answer made Nagano Hideki anxious. Last time, Japan Airlines invited a well-known domestic celebrity to endorse its products, but the effect was still not ideal. Therefore, it is necessary to change the thinking, otherwise the domestic market will be lost first.
And, the most important thing is that Nagano Hideki is too satisfied with Xu Cang.
The forced landing in Tokyo Bay will definitely cause a sensation in the country in the future. With a little hype, it will definitely not lose to any big star. Moreover, that kind of fame is all positive. What makes Nagano Yingshu feel most satisfied is that Xu Cang's appearance is still very good, even better than some stars.
Apart from the fact that Xu Cang is not a local, which is a bit of a pity, he really perfectly fits the image of the spokesperson planned by Nagano Hideki.
"Mr. Xu Cang, please don't rush to make a decision. We will definitely give you a satisfactory amount in terms of remuneration. How about this, we can follow the standards of domestic first-line stars, okay?" Nagano Hideki said quickly.
Xu Cang had already made up his mind: "I'm not interested anymore."
"Wait a minute, wait a minute." Nagano Hideki said hurriedly: "Mr. Xu Cang, what are you dissatisfied with? The remuneration or the subsequent workload, these are all negotiable."
"What are you discussing? Didn't you hear him say he's not interested?"
However, just as Nagano Hideki was struggling, a clear female voice came from outside the door. Xu Cang was very familiar with it, and when he looked up, it turned out to be Qin Xin.
Qin Xin was wearing a light grey windbreaker. After entering the ward, she threw her bag on the bed and looked at Nagano Hideki. Qin Xin was a serious top student and spoke fluent Japanese, unlike Xu Cang who spoke only half-baked Japanese. "Your behavior is a bit disrespectful to a patient."
"You..." Nagano Hideki looked at Qin Xin, then at Xu Cang: "Who are you?"
Xu Cang smiled and pointed at Qin Xin: "My boss."
Nagano Hideki suddenly realized and quickly extended his hand: "It turns out to be Miss Qin from Spring Airlines. My apologies."
In the end, Qin Xin didn't even go to shake hands, but looked past Nagano Hideki to Xu Cang: "Are you tired?"
Xu Cang understood and nodded: "Tired."
Then, Qin Xin retracted her gaze and looked at Nagano Hideki, saying apologetically: "He is tired, can we let him rest?"
Nagano Hideki instinctively noticed that the relationship between Xu Cang and Qin Xin was a little unusual. This was not a common relationship between superiors and subordinates. However, Nagano Hideki was also an old hand, and he figured it out after a little reaction.
"I'm sorry, Miss Qin! I don't mean to make things difficult for Xu Cang. I come here with the utmost sincerity." Nagano Hideki said solemnly, looking very sincere.
Qin Xin raised her eyebrows and glanced at Xu Cang. Xu Cang spread his hands and said, "He said he wanted me to be his spokesperson. Do you think that's outrageous?"
"Spokesperson, looking for you?" Qin Xin found it incredible when he heard this.
However, Nagano Hideki hurriedly said: "Mr. Xu Cang, then you can put forward a condition and we can discuss it."
"Conditions?" Xu Cang was stunned and couldn't help but look thoughtful.
Qin Xin glanced at the bandage on Xu Cang's left hand and couldn't help but worry about Xu Cang's physical condition. She made the decision for Xu Cang: "Let's forget about this matter. President Nagano, you should go back."
Just when Nagano Hideki was disappointed, Xu Cang suddenly said: "President Nagano, if you can allow me to purchase 1% of JAL's Class A shares, I believe we can cooperate happily."
JAL implements a classified stock system, namely A, B, and C. Class A shares have full voting rights, while Class B and Class C only have partial voting rights. The voting power of 100 Class B shares is only equivalent to that of one Class A share.
Moreover, this type of Class A stock is not sold to the public because it involves Japan Airlines' operating rights. In other words, even if you have money, you can't buy Class A stocks as long as Japan Airlines doesn't agree. Xu Cang knew this, so he didn't want 1% of Class A stocks, but just the qualification to buy them.
But even if he had the qualifications, Xu Cang actually had no confidence.
"One percent?" To be honest, this percentage is not a lot, but it is definitely not a small amount. In a company like Japan Airlines with an extremely complex equity distribution, one percent of Class A shares still has some effect. At least, in theory, Xu Cang can occupy a seat at the last seat on the expanded board of directors.
Xu Cang added: "If President Nagano agrees, the endorsement fee can be waived."
"This..." Nagano Hideki looked uncomfortable: "Mr. Xu Cang, what do you want these stocks for? The voting rights generated by such a small number of stocks cannot produce much effect."
If this ratio can reach 5%, then Xu Cang will have a say in the decision-making circle of Japan Airlines. 5% cannot be used as the main body of decision-making, but it can be used as an important bargaining chip to maneuver among various factions. The 1% is a bit useless, otherwise Nagano Hideki would have refused it long ago.
However, even if it was one percent of Class A shares, Nagano Hideki was actually very cautious. This was equivalent to an admission ticket, an admission ticket to enter the decision-making circle of Japan Airlines. Obviously, Xu Cang's agreement to cooperate with Japan Airlines in endorsement did not seem to be of comparable value to this admission ticket.
Nagano Hideki pondered for a moment and said, "Mr. Xu Cang, this may be difficult to handle. I don't think it will be possible to sell Class A shares just for an endorsement."
Even though Nagano Hideki is the president, this kind of thing is not something that Nagano Hideki can decide on his own. It still needs to be discussed at the board of directors' meeting. However, based on Nagano Hideki's personal feelings, the board of directors will not agree, even if the proportion is only one percent.
Qin Xin gently pulled Xu Cang's sleeve. He was afraid that Xu Cang would make the same mistake again and attack everywhere. He had already cooperated with ANA. What would it mean to cooperate with Japan Airlines? However, Qin Xin still had great trust in Xu Cang. Just a little reminder would be enough. If Xu Cang still insisted, he would have to go along with him.
Sure enough, Xu Cang seemed to have some intention, and said with a smile: "President Nagano, the description of just an endorsement should not appear in the mouth of a professional like you. Didn't ANA catch up with Japan Airlines by investing in advertising endorsements? You are imitating others and also inviting celebrities to endorse. Aren't you just following ANA's old path? Now that President Nagano has changed his mind, it can't be described with just two words. It should be your key measure to deal with ANA's pursuit."
"By the way, President Nagano should be familiar with the story of learning to walk in Handan, right?" Xu Cang said with a smile.
"I understand, I understand." Nagano Hideki said helplessly: "Mr. Xu Cang really sees things clearly. In this case, let's go back and ask the board of directors for their opinions."
"Then I'll trouble you, President Nagano. Of course, according to my opinion, you can wait for a while, and then you can really see my importance." Xu Cang reminded with a smile.
Nagano Hideki didn't understand. Xu Cang's words obviously had a purpose, but he couldn't understand why Xu Cang asked Japan Airlines to wait for a while before making a decision.
However, at this point, everything is clear and there is no need to stay any longer.
"Mr. Xu Cang, I've made a note of that." Nagano Hideki said in a deep voice, "In that case, I won't bother you anymore, Mr. Xu Cang. You should have more rest. Bye."
After saying that, Nagano Hideki was about to turn around and leave, but Xu Cang suddenly added, "President Nagano, is the merger of Jiasu Airlines going smoothly?"
"Huh?" Nagano Hideki was stunned: "How did you know?"
Xu Cang said casually, "Isn't it all in the news?"
"Ah?" Nagano Hideki thought about it and thought that he didn't reveal the relevant matters to the media. However, although the merger between Japan Airlines and Japan Airways was not deliberately made public, it was not kept secret either, so it was not strange for the media to find out about it. Nagano Hideki did not hide it either: "Thank you Mr. Xu Cang for your concern. Everything is going well."
After saying this, Nagano Hideki was actually a little surprised as to why Xu Cang was concerned about the merger of Japan Airlines and Jiasu Airlines.
"That's good. Take care, President Nagano."
Nagano Hideki looked at Xu Cang in confusion, but did not see any special expression on Xu Cang's face, so he could only turn around and leave in confusion.
As soon as Nagano Hideki left, Qin Xin took off her windbreaker, revealing her close-fitting clothes, and her figure was extremely attractive. She casually poured Xu Cang a cup of fresh tea and said, "Do you think the JAL board of directors will agree?"
Xu Cang didn't even think too much about it: "Given the current situation, it is highly likely that they will not agree."
"Then why do you still raise this condition? Isn't it redundant?"
"Just because you don't agree now doesn't mean you won't agree in the future." Xu Cang smiled and leaned against the window to bask in the sun. He felt warm and even a little sleepy.
Putting the kettle aside, Qin Xin touched the wall of the cup slightly, and quickly retracted it. It was scalding hot, so she did not immediately hand it to Xu Cang, but continued to ask: "But that 1% ratio is too embarrassing, there is nothing we can do."
"One percent is indeed too little, but it is the limit. If it is more, the JAL board of directors will reject it without even thinking about it."
Qin Xin sighed: "I really can't keep up with your thoughts."
"It's okay, me too. I wanted to do something too, yes." Xu Cang said with a smile, but out of the corner of his eye he glanced at the door and discovered that Guan Yueling came in with a middle-aged man, who was the managing director of ANA.
Guan Yueling saw Qin Xin as soon as he came in and nodded politely: "I didn't expect Miss Qin to be here too."
"Ms. Qin? It turns out to be Mr. Qin from Spring Airlines." The executive director chuckled and forced a stiff smile.
Qin Xin could tell that the person next to Guan Yueling should be a senior executive of ANA, but he behaved neither humbly nor arrogantly and just nodded slightly, which was considered a greeting.
The managing director didn't care about Qin Xin at all. When he turned to look at Xu Cang, he couldn't suppress the smile on his face: "Mr. Xu, you really surprised us. The forced landing in Tokyo Bay will definitely go down in the history of world civil aviation."
Just last night, ANA questioned its own captain overnight and basically understood the matter. According to the analysis of a large group of leaders in the flight department, there was nothing out of the ordinary in the handling of the incident. However, these were all from the perspective of the captain on duty, and some of the content was missing because the captain was kicked out, which needed to be supplemented by Xu Cang.
But Xu Cang was injured, and he was not an ANA employee, so he could not be ordered around. Naturally, ANA gave up.
It is said that one should not hit a smiling person. Although Xu Cang was somewhat unhappy with the managing director, he still nodded slightly to express his gratitude.
The managing director rubbed his hands and said, "Mr. Xu, you've worked hard this time. When your injury heals, we've arranged for several of the best domestic media outlets to do exclusive interviews with you. Usually, these media outlets are very arrogant, but this time they were very interested in Mr. Xu's experience and actually came to us on their own initiative. Hahaha."
The reason why the managing director was so happy was because he saw huge business opportunities in this incident.
After research by the Flight Department, it was found that the technical level of Xu Cang's emergency landing in Tokyo Bay was very high, and it happened in the most prosperous area in the country with a large number of witnesses, which further increased the shock of the incident.
If planned well, this emergency landing in Tokyo Bay would undoubtedly become the most perfect marketing material in ANA's history.
"Xu Cang, I'm afraid it will be hard for you this time. But this is definitely a great opportunity." Guan Yueling said from the side.
Xu Cang naturally had no doubts about this. With the Japanese marketing methods, they would at least promote as a "flying immortal". This was not nonsense, but they really had such ability.
However, ANA seems to have thought of something wrong.
"You seem to have misunderstood something." Xu Cang said suddenly.
"What?" The managing director was puzzled.
Xu Cang laughed: "I am cooperating with you, not your employee, and I have no obligation to cooperate with your promotion. Moreover, if you use me as a promotional point privately, it will make me feel troubled. I hope you don't do that."
The second half of Xu Cang's words were more tactful, but I believe Guan Yueling and the managing director could understand it.
This made Guan Yueling and the managing director feel surprised. Guan Yueling said seriously: "Xu Cang, this will also be good for you."
"What benefits? If I cooperate with you in the promotion, and the profit increase of ANA is obtained, are you going to give me a part of it? If so, I can consider it." Xu Cang smiled and said, "But I feel that you will not agree to it, right?"
The managing director gritted his teeth and said, "We can pay you separately for this, as long as you agree to cooperate with our publicity work."
"Why does this sound familiar?" Xu Cang said with a smile.
At this, the managing director's face suddenly darkened: "Are you talking about the president of Japan Airlines, Hideki Nagano?"
Just when they came over, they happened to see Nagano Hideki coming out of Xu Cang's ward. However, they did not mention this matter.
"Xu Cang, are you waiting for a good price?" Guan Yueling asked coldly.
"No, no, no!" Xu Cang shook his head and raised his left hand which was still wrapped in bandages: "This is my contribution, and I want the due compensation. This is a reasonable and normal request, right?"
hiss!
Guan Yueling and the managing director looked at Xu Cang's injured left hand and didn't know what to say for a moment. From Xu Cang's point of view, this was indeed a very normal request.
" It seems that we came here a little rashly." Guan Yueling nodded slightly: "In this case, let's go back and discuss it first, and then talk to you in detail."
The managing director actually wanted to say something, but after seeing Guan Yueling turned around and left, he sighed and followed.
After Guan Yueling and the other person left, Qin Xin couldn't help but sigh: "They really all regarded you as a big selling point without any prior agreement."
"Isn't this predictable?"
"However, if you want core shares, you can also propose the same conditions to ANA." Qin Xin said curiously: "To be honest, I feel that ANA's future is better than JAL. JAL is like a dying empire, huge, but already on an unstoppable downward slope."
"But that was a long time later. As for why I didn't propose the same conditions to ANA, one reason is that ANA is relatively optimistic about the growth of the Japanese domestic market, and they are not as urgent for change as JAL. I am the icing on the cake for them, so they probably won't agree, and the result will be similar in the future. Another reason is that 1% of the shares can do a lot in JAL, but in ANA, for a long time in the future, it will only be 1% of the shares, and it will not extend to any other meaning."
"Impossible?" Qin Xin didn't believe it. "Even if Japan Airlines agrees to give you the right to purchase 1% of Class A shares, they won't agree to it again in the future, right? If you have more shares, you can have a say in the decision-making circle, which will affect the existing interests of Japan Airlines' decision-makers, which is impossible. One percent, I think it's the limit."
If Xu Cang wants to make great achievements in Japan Airlines, then 1% of the shares is definitely not enough, it is too little. However, if Xu Cang wants to continue to increase his shares, those larger shareholders will definitely not agree, which is equivalent to giving up power. And Xu Cang's 1% of shares in Japan Airlines is a very embarrassing position, neither up nor down. If the people above don't agree, there is nothing he can do.
Of course, all this is based on the premise that Japan Airlines agrees to give Xu Cang the right to subscribe for that 1% of Class A shares.
"Yes, we have to increase our shareholding. This may be possible for Japan Airlines, but it is almost impossible for All Nippon Airways." Xu Cang picked up the tea in his left hand and prepared to drink it.
"Why is it possible on Japan Airlines?" Qin Xin still couldn't figure it out. However, after noticing Xu Cang's actions, Qin Xin immediately said in a low voice: "Aren't you afraid of being burned? I just poured it."
"What?" Xu Cang was stunned for a moment, looking at the still steaming tea, his face suddenly changed drastically, his left hand loosened, and the teacup fell directly to the ground, smashing on the ground, and the scalding tea splashed all over the floor.
Qin Xin ignored the broken teacup, but she also thought of a terrible possibility. Looking at Xu Cang's left hand, she asked carefully: "Didn't you feel... anything with your left hand just now?"
