"So, he is willing to go to Japan?" In the office, Li Jie frowned and looked at Wu Yue who came to report: "Are you sure?"
Wu Yue still couldn't figure it out: "Sure, he said it himself."
Li Jie lowered his head and pondered for a moment, still unable to figure out why Xu Cang agreed to go to Japan: "Why would he agree?"
"This..." Faced with Li Jie's question, Wu Yue had no answer at all, and could only repeat Xu Cang's words: "What he meant was that if we don't go to Japan, the Japanese JCAB might vote against us in the subsequent Class I director election, which would be disadvantageous to us."
Li Jie was stunned for a moment, obviously not expecting this situation: "Did he really say that?"
"It's absolutely true. Director Tan was there at the time." Wu Yue asked carefully, "Director Li, could it be that Xu Cang really thinks so? Maybe he is more willful in some small matters, but he is not vague in big matters?"
"Has my attitude been clearly conveyed?"
Wu Yue nodded: "Director Tan said so."
"This..." Li Jie held his forehead with his right hand, and after thinking for a long time, he couldn't think of any other reasons Xu Cang had: "Could it be that his awareness is really that high?"
For the sake of CAAC, he is willing to go to Japan and be cursed by the world. How noble is that?
However, Li Jie instinctively felt that Xu Cang would not do such a thing, at least he would not go to Japan for this matter alone, but he could not think of what benefit Xu Cang would get from going to Japan? Regarding whether the cabin door can be opened during hijacking, the industry has different opinions. For example, ANA's regulations actually allow criminals to enter the cockpit under certain conditions. Xu Cang's behavior obviously violated ANA's regulations.
However, Xu Cang is not a member of ANA, so he does not need to be affected by ANA's rules. The problem is that the words Xu Cang said are too cold-blooded and cruel for ordinary people, and can easily arouse the public's instinctive sense of morality.
When criticizing others, people tend to put themselves on a moral high ground and judge everything from a high position. This is so easy and comfortable. In particular, there is no unified and strong provision in the world's civil aviation regulations to prohibit criminals from entering the cockpit, which makes it impossible for the public to clearly understand the upper limit of the harm of hijacking.
Under such circumstances, Xu Cang's going to Japan to attend the so-called hearing would have no other result except being constantly questioned and accused. The pressure he would have to bear would be extremely exaggerated.
"What is the reason why Xu Cang must go there?" Li Jie thought about it over and over again, but still could not get the answer to this question.
Wu Yue looked at Li Jie: "Director Li, what do you say now?"
"Forget it. No matter what, it is a good thing for us that he can actively cooperate with JCAB. Let's do this: the captains who were killed recently at Spring Airlines will be checked again. If they pass the check, their captain qualifications will be restored immediately. By the way, the person who does the check... should be changed."
At this point, Li Jie could only judge the situation by its actions and not its intentions. Arranging a second inspection and replacing the inspector was already a response to Xu Cang.
Secondary screening is relatively rare, and this time Li Jie was willing to make this exception for Spring Airlines, which can be considered quite good.
Wu Yue was overjoyed. Xu Cang had a very unhappy relationship with the three airlines because of the captain's suspension. Under such a tense situation, it was not easy for the General Administration to do anything. Li Jie agreed to a second investigation, which was very helpful in eliminating Xu Cang's resentment.
Both sides are very angry now, and the General Administration needs to take action.
"Director Li, I will tell Xu Cang about this right away."
Li Jie waved his hand: "Do you want to wait a while? Besides agreeing to go, did he say anything else?"
"Anything else?" Wu Yue thought for a moment : "Nothing special, he just confirmed the time, nothing else."
"What time?" Li Jie asked, "What time?"
Wu Yue answered naturally, "The hearing time. JCAB said Xu Cang could set the time himself, so he set it himself."
"when?"
"September 11 this year."
"September 11?" Li Jie thought about it again. It seemed that this date had no special meaning. However, he was not sure, for fear that he had missed something. "September 11... is there anything special about it?"
Wu Yue probably thought about it before: "No, it's a very normal day."
"So what does it mean that he chose this time on purpose?"
“Director Li, you’re…” Wu Yue was confused by the question. “Perhaps Xu Cang just casually mentioned the approximate time. There really is no special meaning. It may even be changed temporarily in the future.”
"September 11th, September 11th." After Li Jie pondered to no avail, he was no longer willing to waste his energy trying to guess Xu Cang's thoughts: "Forget it, let's just leave it at that. By the way, has Spring Airlines contacted the Northwest Bureau recently?"
"No, Spring Airlines has not been in contact with the Northwest Bureau in recent times."
Li Jie nodded with satisfaction: "Very good, it seems that they know their limits. Well, it's okay, go ahead."
After Wu Yue left, Li Jie was the only one left in the office. In the complete silence, Li Jie could even hear his own breathing clearly. In such an environment, people's thinking can remain in the calmest state, but even so, Li Jie still couldn't quite make sense of the current situation.
In the end, the only sound that could echo in the office was Li Jie's sigh: "Xu Cang, what on earth do you want to do?"
…
In a restaurant in Hanjing, Xu Cang met Li Rongcheng again. Although they hadn't seen each other for a long time, Xu Cang was still very happy and even treated him to a rare feast.
"I heard that you left Boeing?" Xu Cang poured Li Rongcheng a glass of wine with a smile on his face.
Li Rongcheng looked at Xu Cang's expression and felt helpless: "You seem very happy?"
"We're going to take action against Boeing later. It would be inconvenient if you were still in Boeing." Xu Cang said with a smile, "Why, are you settling here after coming back this time, or what?"
"I have already disposed of most of my assets in the United States. This time I come here to live for a long time." Li Rongcheng said: "When I came here just now, Mr. Xiao should have told you that I plan to invest some money in your project. You won't refuse, right?"
"We are all family, why refuse?"
Obviously, meeting old friends made Xu Cang fall into a long-lost excitement, and he spoke without any restraint.
Xiao Lingyun reminded him: "Xu Cang, this time you mortgaged the authorization of Boeing aviation materials and a top-level flight route. This investment is quite large."
"What? You also exchanged the authorization for Boeing's aviation materials?" Li Rongcheng was surprised. "This can obviously be a long-term plan. How can you just exchange it? What if something goes wrong and you can't get it back later?"
In front of Li Rongcheng, Xu Cang had no reservations: "I have always been short of money, so I have been hesitant and unable to do anything. The greater the investment, the greater the harvest. This time, relying on the A380 project to make a profit from Airbus, I can complete my initial accumulation."
Xu Cang had too many things to do, and he expanded his business so quickly that even though he had many good investment projects, the returns could not keep up with the speed at which Xu Cang spent money. If Xu Cang just wanted to be a rich man, he would not have to work so hard.
But Xu Cang has great ambitions, so he must seize the opportunities of the times.
Opportunities wait for no one, and once you miss them, they are gone. Therefore, sometimes, there are some plans that Xu Cang is not willing to rashly roll out, but if you miss them, there will be no chance in the future.
Airbus rarely stumbles, so there are not many opportunities to harvest Airbus. The A380 is a huge mistake in the development of Airbus. If Xu Cang does not take advantage of it, he will feel sorry for himself. Moreover, because the Airbus headquarters' various actions in the Tianjin Airbus Assembly Plant project were really despicable, Xu Cang had no psychological burden to harvest Airbus.
"Then there's no need for you to risk everything, right?" Li Rongcheng said speechlessly.
"How can this be considered a desperate bet? It's just the authorization of Boeing aviation materials and a route. It's just a bigger investment, and it can't be considered a life-or-death bet. Besides, it's not time to be desperate yet." Xu Cang looked at Xiao Lingyun and said, "Before acquiring Asiana Airlines, make some money first. I asked you to keep an eye on the stock price of Korean Air. What did I say?"
"Since Muhua Airlines officially announced that it would sever its international route cooperation with Asiana Airlines some time ago, Asiana Airlines' stock price has continued to plummet, while Korean Air's stock price has been rising. It seems that the mainstream market believes that Korean Air's acquisition of Asiana Airlines is a sure thing."
"You haven't touched Korean Air's stocks during this period, right?" Xu Cang asked.
"Of course." Xiao Lingyun said with a smile: "If we move Korean Air's stock at this time, won't that give people something to talk about?"
Although no one knows the relationship between Xu Cang and Xiao Lingyun, this kind of thing can never be guaranteed. In fact, Xiao Lingyun knew in advance that Muhua Airlines would officially announce the severance of its international route business cooperation with Asiana Airlines. This is a bit like insider information, and in this case there is a risk of suspected stock price manipulation.
Of course, if done properly, this risk could be avoided. After all, whether Xu Cang informed Xiao Lingyun of the relevant information could be denied and the traces removed.
However, given the size of Korean Air, Xu Cang would not care about the difference in share price, and he would have to bother to erase the traces and take a small amount of risk. This kind of effort and reward is not equal, and Xu Cang would never do it.
What he was going to eat was the feast of Korean Air’s stock price collapse.
"Well, I can't worry about everything. I'll give you a main direction, and you can take care of the rest. That way I can worry less."
"Do you want to acquire Asiana Airlines? Are you optimistic about the Korean market?" Li Rongcheng asked.
"I'm not optimistic about the Korean market, but I'm optimistic about the integrated market in East Asia. If the three East Asian countries can integrate together in the civil aviation market, they will not lose to the European and American civil aviation markets in the future. The strength range of the European and American civil aviation markets has been finalized, and it is difficult for us to make a breakthrough. In this case, we might as well focus our energy on the East Asian market that has not yet been formed." Xu Cang expressed his thoughts.
This was indeed just an idea. Even before Xu Cang was reborn, the civil aviation market in East Asia had not been integrated, lacking a leader who could suppress the civil aviation field of the three major East Asian countries. This time, Xu Cang, with the advantage of rebirth, might be able to become the man sent from heaven.
"But if we can't gain a decisive advantage in the civil aviation of Japan and South Korea, it will be impossible to promote the integration of the civil aviation markets of the three countries. There is also Korean Air above Asiana Airlines. As for Japan, you don't even have a chance to attack Japan now." Li Rongcheng's mind changed quickly, and he immediately began to give advice to Xu Cang: "You are thinking too far ahead."
"If you don't think ahead, you'll have immediate worries. Among the four major airlines in Japan and South Korea, JAL, ANA, Korean Air , and Asiana Airlines, ANA is the most difficult to break through, and the other three have their own problems. In South Korea, I chose to start with Asiana Airlines, not because Korean Airlines is so impeccable, but because I was limited by funds and couldn't do it all at once. Also, the breakthrough of Asiana Airlines came earlier. Otherwise, I should have started with Korean Air instead of Asiana Airlines."
Xiao Lingyun's eyelids twitched when he heard this. It turned out that Xu Cang had really planned to take over Korean Air. Xiao Lingyun didn't believe the reason that Asiana Airlines' breakthrough came earlier. The main reason must be that the funds were not in place.
In any case, as the largest airline in South Korea, even after the operation, its size is still too large, and the financial pressure of acquisition is too great, so it is not worth considering at all.
"As for Japan... Indeed, compared to South Korea, Japan is more difficult, but I have already tried." Xu Cang sighed: "However, Japan may require a roundabout way, which is far less direct than South Korea."
Li Rongcheng listened to Xu Cang's words and thought to himself that Xu Cang's appetite was really big: "What is your plan in Japan?"
"At this stage, neither JAL nor ANA have any points that can be exploited. Needless to say, ANA is in a stage of strong rise and it is estimated that there will be no major problems in the next ten years. JAL does have loopholes, but it is the number one in Asia, and a lean camel is bigger than a horse, so it is not easy to cut in. There is no way to be the first two, so we can only settle for the second best."
Li Rongcheng: "What do you mean?"
"In the future, Japan Airlines will definitely need someone to coordinate. Xiao Lingyun has been doing this before. However, he will have more investment matters to worry about in the future, and I'm afraid he can no longer be distracted by the affairs of Japan and South Korea. You were in charge of the Asia-Pacific business before, so you should have had contact with the senior management of these companies. How about letting you handle the affairs of Japan and South Korea in the future?" At the end of the conversation, Xu Cang suddenly remembered something: "You didn't sign a non-compete agreement, did you?"
Signing a non-compete agreement is a common practice, especially for executives like Li Rongcheng. If Li Rongcheng signed a non-compete agreement, it would be inconvenient for him to work for Xu Cang.
"No, if I had signed a non-compete agreement, the severance pay would not be more than 10 million." Li Rongcheng said with a smile.
Signing a non-compete agreement would affect his subsequent career, and he would definitely have to pay more. Given Li Rongcheng's level, it would be outrageous if he still had to abide by the non-compete agreement for a severance pay of 10 million.
"That's fine!" Xu Cang was relieved now: "The company has a lot of business now. When I come back from the UK, I will reorganize the business and establish a group to coordinate the overall situation."
"Establish a group?" Xiao Lingyun was not surprised by this. Xu Cang's layout was so large that the departments could not work together at all, and it was often the case that one person was in charge of several businesses, resulting in unclear responsibilities, which could easily lead to big problems.
Xiao Lingyun thought for a moment: "If we set up a group, do we have any ideas on the name of the group and the basic sectors?"
"Cangqing! The name is tentatively decided to be Cangqing Group." Xu Cang said calmly, and it seemed that he had really thought about it: "The group will have Cangqing Aviation, Cangqing Logistics, Cangqing Technology, Cangqing Industry, and Cangqing Investment. Among them, aviation will be the main sector for the time being, including passenger transportation, cargo transportation, flight training, and aviation materials, etc."
"Aviation, logistics, technology, industry, investment." Xiao Lingyun knew Xu Cang's industrial layout best, and he quickly matched them one by one. The aviation sector is naturally mainly Spring Airlines, and the logistics sector is the air transportation that Xu Cang has been doing recently. Because it will also include a land transportation network in the future, it cannot be attached to the aviation sector and needs to be independent. As for technology, it should be the aviation engine company and the domestic commercial aircraft company to be established in the future. As for industry, the scope is more diverse, such as Xu Cang's tourism industry in Jeju Island and some real estate. As for the investment sector, it was actually Xu Cang's largest source of funds for some time before, and it made much more money than Spring Airlines.
It seems that Xu Cang has already planned his future.
"We may need to add Cangqing International to handle foreign affairs in the future. However, I haven't thought about the structure in this regard yet, so I won't set it up for now. If I set it up later, it will be your department, Brother Rongcheng." Xu Cang said, "You worked at Boeing before, so we still have to rely on you for internationalization."
"Cangqing International?" Li Rongcheng let out a sigh of relief: "That's no problem, I'll follow your arrangements. I did a lot with Japan and South Korea before, so it's very convenient to coordinate. However, this name... Cangqing! I can understand Cang, but what does Qing mean, the green of green grass?"
"Well, originally I was going to use the clear water one, but it didn't feel good, so I changed to the blue one without the three drops of water."
"But the question is, what does the "qing" with three water drops mean and what does it refer to?"
"Ah?" Xu Cang was stunned for a moment: "That... um... there's no specific reference, I just... found it randomly."
Xiao Lingyun showed a trace of doubt on his face. The name of the group must have its own meaning. He didn't believe it was just randomly chosen . But what does this "Qing" or "Qing" refer to? For a moment, Xiao Lingyun couldn't think of it.
However, there is no need to dwell on this matter too much, and the topic soon passed.
Xu Cang glanced at the waiter and found that the dishes he ordered seemed to be served: "One last thing, let's finish eating. Brother Rongcheng, if someone sells unauthorized Boeing aviation materials, does Boeing have the right to deal with it?"
"What? Who dares?" Li Rongcheng stood up suddenly, but it took him a second to realize that he had already resigned from Boeing. A trace of embarrassment flashed across his face: "Sorry, I was excited and had a conditioned reflex."
Xu Cang and Xiao Lingyun smiled knowingly. Li Rongcheng had worked at Boeing for a long time and seemed to have not yet adapted to the life after leaving the company.
Xu Cang took out a document: "Take a look."
Li Rongcheng took it and flipped through a few pages: "Tianrong Aviation Materials?"
…
The internal hotel conference room of Muhua Airlines Hanjing Branch.
Si Weimin was leaning on a crutch, staring at the base of the Hanjing branch in a trance. Cheng Qiming stood silently behind him. He didn't dare to speak unless Si Weimin opened his mouth.
"Qiming, you have run the Hanjing branch well." Si Weimin turned around and found a chair to sit down, while Cheng Qiming still stood: "Hanjing is the strongest point of Guoda Aviation. Under such circumstances, you can still develop the Hanjing branch into this state, which is great."
Cheng Qiming lowered his head: "Chairman, this is what I should do."
"There are many things you should do, such as obeying the orders of the Yangcheng headquarters." Si Weimin raised his eyelids: "But you didn't obey, or are you selectively deciding what you should do?"
"Qiming dare not. I just think that if Xu Cang kills our company's representative, it will be bad for Muhua's reputation. That's why I went. I have no other intention." Cheng Qiming said respectfully.
Si Weimin snorted, "Ma Cheng is in a bad situation right now, and you're still blatantly ignoring his orders. Are you setting an example for other branch managers? You can disobey headquarters orders at will, huh?"
At other times, facing Si Weimin's tone, Cheng Qiming would have been terrified, but this time, Cheng Qiming seemed to have made up his mind and gritted his teeth: "Chairman, since Ma Cheng can't convince the public, should we discuss the matter of taking over Mu Hua again?"
Cheng Qiming had been holding these words in his heart for a long time, and now that he had said them out loud, he felt relieved.
"Oh, that's what you mean." Si Weimin sighed.
In fact, he could guess what the CEOs of the major branches were thinking. However, thinking is one thing, and speaking it out is another. Cheng Qiming dared to mention this to him in person, which showed that this idea was not just one person's opinion. I'm afraid that many CEOs of branches and bases had such thoughts.
Cheng Qiming had started the conversation, so there was no need to worry: "Chairman, Yi Feng from Guoda is a rare talent in the past ten years. If Ma Cheng has his ability, then we have no objection. However, there are not many talents like Yi Feng, so we will not force him. But Zhou Yanping from Tiandong Airlines may not be as capable as him, but he has a big vision. The branches of Tiandong Airlines may not be convinced by him, but at least they don't oppose him. He only needs to deal with the opposition from Tiandong headquarters. But Ma Cheng, firstly, does not have the ability of Yi Feng, and secondly, does not have the vision of Zhou Yanping. If he takes over, what will happen to Muhua's future?"
Cheng Qiming's meaning is very simple. Either Ma Cheng is as capable as Yi Feng, and no one would have objections. Or he could be as open-minded as Zhou Yanping.
Zhou Yanping's ability is not top-notch, but he is generous by nature and has good personal relationships with the CEOs of other branches of Tiandong Airlines. When it comes to interpersonal relationships, Zhou Yanping has a high emotional intelligence. Therefore, Tiandong Airlines did not have a situation where the branches forced the headquarters to take over the successor. Zhou Yanping only had to deal with the opposition from the headquarters.
But Ma Cheng is different. He can't have either of the two, so naturally he is very dissatisfied.
"Chairman, when we established the Hanjing branch, I asked Ma Cheng for resources and support, but he made excuses several times. I remember all of that." Cheng Qiming obviously had a grudge against Ma Cheng: "Ma Cheng has made the headquarters' performance seem impressive in recent years, but a large part of it was obtained by sucking blood from the branches. I admit that it is normal for the headquarters to suck blood from the branches, but I never thought that it would be sucked like Ma Cheng. If he does this, will the people in those branches look up to Ma Cheng?"
Si Weimin said in a deep voice: "You have demoted Ma Cheng so badly, so why don't you take over Muhua Airlines?"
"Chairman, I don't mean that. I know my abilities are limited, and I have no idea about that position. However, if we follow Ma Cheng, that is absolutely impossible." Cheng Qiming said, "Please ask the chairman to find another suitable candidate."
Speaking of this, Si Weimin sighed: "Where is it so easy to find such a person?"
Cheng Qiming thought for a moment and said, "Chairman, what if we ask Miss Linglong to come over?"
"Bullshit!" Si Weimin was rarely angry. "Is Muhua a family business that is inherited by descendants? How dare you talk nonsense?"
Cheng Qiming was really shocked. He knew he had committed a big taboo, so he quickly explained: "Chairman, I spoke without thinking. I just..."
Seeing Cheng Qiming's panic, Si Weimin seemed to have aged several years. "I have devoted my whole life to Muhua, but I didn't expect that I would still worry about it until my death. Alas. Qiming, I first met you in the Yangcheng Transport Squadron when Muhua was not yet established. After so many years, can't you let me leave in peace?"
Si Weimin's heartfelt words made Cheng Qiming's eyes red. He was promoted by Si Weimin and had been with Si Weimin since the Yangcheng Transport Squadron, the predecessor of Muhua. Therefore, he was infinitely loyal to Si Weimin, so much so that he said the stupid words of letting Si Linglong take over Muhua.
Of course, Cheng Qiming's idea is definitely backward and wrong, but it also shows how much Cheng Qiming believes in Si Weimin.
Cheng Qiming lowered his head even more: "Chairman, it's not that I have ulterior motives. But even if I can tolerate Ma Cheng and the one from Tianning Branch doesn't care, the key is that Gong Yue from Xianchi Branch won't let it go. You know, the configuration of Xianchi Branch is the configuration of Northwest Airlines, and Gong Yue should be the first chairman of Northwest Airlines."
Hearing this, Si Weimin's brows were even more worried. "When the government and enterprises were separated, the six major airlines were eventually reduced to three major ones. I have no objection to the others, but I don't agree with the closure of Northwest Airlines. The Northwest region is so vast, it is beyond our ability for Muhua to manage it."
"But Northwest Airlines, which was originally going to be listed, was still determined by the General Administration to be incapable of defending the Northwest on its own."
Si Weimin sighed deeply: "This is all fate."
Many years ago, when the domestic civil aviation map was divided, the original plan was to have six major airlines, that is, in addition to Guoda, Tiandong and Muhua, there would be a giant state-owned aviation enterprise in the northeast, southwest and northwest. But in the end, the General Administration of Civil Aviation thought that if there were six major airlines, domestic civil aviation resources would be dispersed. The civil aviation market in the northeast, southwest and northwest was not enough to support a giant state-owned aviation enterprise alone. Therefore, in the end, the three places were given to Guoda, Tiandong and Muhua as subsidiaries.
That is, Guoda Airlines is in charge of the southwest, Tiandong Airlines is in charge of the northeast, and Muhua Airlines is in charge of the northwest.
At that time, the bureau was even ready to list Northwest Airlines, with its headquarters in Xianchi City, and Gong Yue as the first chairman. But just before the listing, the bureau suddenly changed its mind and abolished Northeast, Southwest and Northwest Airlines.
As a result, Northwest Airlines, which could have been established independently, was downgraded to Xianchi Branch and merged into Muhua Airlines. Gong Yue was also downgraded from chairman to general manager of the branch.
For this reason, Gong Yue even went to the General Administration and made a scene, which angered the then Civil Aviation Administration leader who wanted to fire him directly. Fortunately, Si Weimin intervened and the matter was settled. It is also for this reason that Gong Yue has always respected Si Weimin.
"Chairman, you helped Gong Yue back then, and he will remember it for half his life. As long as you are here, he will definitely live a peaceful life. But if the owner of Muhua Airlines is replaced by Ma Cheng, can Gong Yue continue to lie dormant?" Cheng Qiming sighed: "Xianchi Branch is said to be at the level of a branch, but its configuration is completely inherited from the original Northwest Airlines, which can support a giant state-owned aviation enterprise. Not to mention international routes, but for domestic routes, the performance of Xianchi Branch is close to 70% of the Yangcheng headquarters. At that time, the General Administration believed that the profitability of the Northwest market was insufficient, but over the years, Gong Yue has proved that the Northwest market can fully support a giant state-owned aviation enterprise. The reasons that hindered the establishment of Northwest Airlines no longer exist. If he didn't care about your feelings, he would have set up his own business long ago."
"Chairman, Gong Yue is much better than Ma Cheng in terms of qualifications and ability. When Ma Cheng was still a junior employee in the marketing department of Muhua Airlines, Gong Yue had already made it to the top. There is no comparison."
"When we swallowed Northwest Airlines, it finally became a tail that could not be cut off." Si Weimin said in a deep voice: "Xu Cang told me that he wanted to clean up the Jianchuan base, and he was also giving me a knife. There are too many people with ideas, and we need to kill their enthusiasm."
Cheng Qiming narrowed his eyes and asked, "The Jianchuan base is that chicken?"
"Why, are you dissatisfied with Xu Cang? Or do you want to protect the Jianchuan base?" Si Weimin said indifferently.
"If the chairman feels it is necessary, then I naturally have no objection." Cheng Qiming said quickly: "I joined forces with the Jianchuan base only to protect myself."
"This is the first time I've heard someone talk about forming a clique and pursuing personal interests so confidently."
Cheng Qiming immediately straightened his chest and said, "I admit that I formed a clique, but it was not for personal gain."
Si Weimin glanced at Cheng Qiming and said nothing more. Instead, he continued to discuss the affairs of the Xianchi branch: "The tumor has grown so big that it can't go away on its own. We can only have surgery to remove it."
Cheng Qiming's heart trembled: "Chairman, are you going to take action against the Xianchi branch?"
"For Muhua, this unstable factor must be eliminated before I leave." Si Weimin said sternly.
However, the next moment, a figure came in from the door of the conference room. This person was thin, with a full beard, and looked like a completely sturdy man. As soon as he came in and saw Si Weimin, he just said with a little sadness: "Captain, if you treat me like this, I will be very sad."
"Gong...Gong Yue!" Cheng Qiming exclaimed. The person who came was Gong Yue, the boss of Xianchi branch.
Gong Yue was supposed to be stationed in Xianchi, so why did he suddenly appear in Hanjing?
However, he knew why Gong Yue called Si Weimin captain instead of chairman.
Gong Yue was one of the first batch of students at the Flight Academy, and the flight captain at that time was Si Weimin. Therefore, except for very few formal occasions, Gong Yue always called Si Weimin the captain or the captain. It is worth mentioning that the dean of the Flight Academy at that time was Bi Lin.
It is precisely because of this connection that Bi Lin and Si Weimin have a good relationship in private.
Si Weimin was a little surprised by Gong Yue's appearance, but it only lasted for a moment, and then his face turned cold: "Why am I treating you like this, don't you know it yourself?"
"Captain!" Gong Yue did not sit down like Cheng Qiming, but just stood there. However, in front of Gong Yue, Cheng Qiming naturally felt that he was a head shorter than him and held his breath unconsciously.
Gong Yue put away the smile on his face and said solemnly, "Back then, you saved me from Director Chen. I remember your kindness, so over the years, I have worked diligently for Muhua without a single complaint. Even when Ma Cheng took away a large amount of profit from Xianchi, I never said anything. But when you, the captain, leave, the kindness will go with you, and I will do my own thing."
Si Weimin said coldly: "Northwest Airlines has become history, this is already a fact. Even if I leave, the General Administration will not agree to your split from Muhua."
"No, no, no, you're wrong." Gong Yue showed a dreamy expression on his face: "Times have changed. The domestic civil aviation market has been liberalized. In the next ten years or so, domestic civil aviation will usher in explosive growth. Even the three major airlines cannot meet the needs of civil aviation development. In this era, the General Administration will be happy to introduce more fresh blood. Over the years, I have proved that the Northwest market can support a giant state-owned aviation enterprise. And now, the time has come, and there is nothing that can hinder the establishment of Northwest Airlines."
Si Weimin snorted, "Even if that's the case, the General Administration won't agree to it."
"But what if there is support from Tiandong Airlines and the Northwest Bureau?" Gong Yue laughed. "Tiandong Airlines lost the Northeast, so I think they would also hope that Muhua would lose the Northwest. Moreover, the Northwest has not had its own local airline for a long time. Do you think the Northwest Bureau would want this situation to continue?"
Hearing this, Si Weimin was so angry that he trembled: "Do you know what you are talking about?"
"I just want to take back what belongs to me." Gong Yue shouted, and then he calmed down and put on a smile again: "Captain, you are good in every way. As long as you are here, Muhua will not be dispersed. It's a pity... you are too old."
As soon as these words were spoken, Si Weimin felt his blood rushing up. In an instant, his vision went dark and he fell down immediately.
