An Airbus 330 is parked at Hanjing Airport. The aircraft is painted blue and white, with the ANA All Nippon Airways logo on the vertical tail.
This 330 looks like it has just arrived. Its paint is still brand new and it even reflects some light under the sunlight.
At this moment, the aircraft has withdrawn from the jet bridge and appears to be waiting to be pushed out.
Inside the cabin, the aircraft has a classic three-section layout, namely first class, business class and economy class. With the passenger capacity of the Airbus 330, the economy class is basically full, and the business class is also very full, but there are only a few passengers in the first class.
Sitting in the front row were a man and a woman, the man was JAL President Nagano Hideki, and the woman was ANA President Kanzuki Ryo. The two were returning to Tokyo together after attending the Civil Aviation Conference.
"Is this ANA's only daily round-trip flight between Hanjing and Tokyo?" Nagano Hideki said with a smile, "Fortunately, the occupancy rate is good, otherwise it would not be a good sight."
When ANA's pain was mentioned, even with Guan Yueling's self-control, she frowned.
That's right, ANA has only one flight per day on the Hanjing-Tokyo golden route, while JAL has four flights. In fact, using an Airbus 330 to fly this route is not the most cost-effective. Considering the distance between Hanjing and Tokyo, a 737 or 320 is fully capable of the task.
The operating costs of both the 737 and 320 are much lower than those of the Airbus 330, and they are more cost-effective.
However, in order to attract more passengers, ANA can only choose Airbus 330 as the carrier. ANA's marketing department has analyzed the average occupancy rate of this route and found that using Airbus 330 can still make money most of the time.
However, this is not absolute. For example, the occupancy rate of this route dropped strangely some time ago, so that ANA did not make any money, but even lost a lot.
Today's attendance rate is already quite good.
The Hanjing-Tokyo route is a microcosm of the situation of Japan Airlines and All Nippon Airways. Japan Airlines has many times more international route resources than All Nippon Airways, and this situation seems to continue for a long time.
"President Nagano, I think you should pay more attention to your performance in the country." Guan Yueling retorted.
However, Nagano Hideki doesn't care: "Domestic routes don't make much money, so it's OK. Don't worry too much."
"Don't worry about it. Why did you go to find Xu Cang? President Nagano seems to be quite anxious. Your words and actions don't seem to be consistent."
"Xu Cang!" Nagano Hideki dragged out the last word: "Some of the cabin sound of ANA Flight 45 seems to have leaked out."
Guan Yueling had a blank expression on his face: "That has nothing to do with ANA."
"I didn't say it was related." Nagano Hideki said with a smile: "But it just so happens that the leaked recording is quite unfavorable to Xu Cang."
Guan Yueling groaned for a moment and said, "I've heard that cabin voice. It's not very friendly to Xu Cang."
"Is it just unfriendly? Domestic public opinion has compared him to a murderer. Haha, he was clearly a hero who saved the entire plane, but now he has become a cold-blooded butcher. Things are really unpredictable." Nagano Hideki pointed out: "President Mitsuki, it seems that our JCAB is not very reliable. The incident investigation report has not yet come out, but the cabin sound has leaked."
Guan Yueling's rosy lips moved: "President Nagano, why do I feel like there's something else behind your words?"
"Oh? Can you tell that?" Nagano Hideki laughed heartily. Fortunately, there were not many people in the first class cabin, otherwise it would have attracted a lot of attention. After laughing for a while, Nagano Hideki's laughter suddenly turned sinister: "I heard that ANA has obtained priority for the next batch of European routes?"
Guan Yueling did not deny it. It was basically expected that Nagano Hideki could find out about this matter. If she still denied it, it would be bad.
"Japan Airlines has had priority for so many years, and ANA didn't seem to say anything. How come President Nagano can't sit still just because it's just started this time?" Guan Yueling snorted, "It's not the same as before. Japan Airlines' monopoly on international routes is no longer protected by law."
"Guan Yueling, this is your first transaction with those guys from JCAB. You think you made a lot of money, right?" Nagano Hideki's laughter became more and more outrageous. "I just told you how unreliable the people from JCAB are. One day, they will abandon you just like they abandoned Xu Cang."
Guan Yueling's eyelids jumped. In fact, she also guessed that the cabin sound might not have been leaked accidentally, but Guan Yueling remained calm on the surface: "Are you questioning your country's Civil Aviation Administration?"
Hearing this, Nagano Hideki was stunned for a moment, and then he laughed so hard that he fell backwards.
"Guan Yueling, you are so cute, why didn't I notice it before?" Nagano Yingshu pointed at himself and said, "Forget it, I don't want to know about your deal with JCAB anymore. However, there is one thing you have to think about. What is the bargaining chip between you and JCAB? If it involves Xu Cang, aren't you afraid of his revenge?"
Nagano Hideki said as he moved closer to Guan Yueling: "President Guan Yue, you wouldn't be so stupid as to use Xu Cang as a bargaining chip, right?"
In this situation, Guan Yueling's beautiful face changed slightly. She deliberately concealed the truth about ANA Flight 45 from Xu Cang in order to gain leverage in the deal with JCAB.
As the person involved, Xu Cang should have the right to know the truth. Guan Yueling's actions clearly infringed upon Xu Cang's rights.
Even Guan Yueling showed some guilt under such circumstances.
What kind of person is Nagano Hideki? Guan Yueling can accurately grasp the slightest change in his expression. However, this does not mean anything, it just makes Nagano Hideki feel particularly interesting.
"Do you think Xu Cang is an insignificant figure and it's okay to use him as a bargaining chip, or are you confident that Xu Cang will never find out?"
Nagano Hideki's voice was like the whisper of the devil, which aroused the fear hidden deep in Guan Yueling's heart. In fact, Guan Yueling was always worried about one thing happening, that is, Xu Cang learned the truth about ANA Flight 45 and made it public.
It is clearly the joint responsibility of the airport and the Civil Aviation Administration, but the Civil Aviation Administration was cleared of all blame, and ANA knew about it. Isn't this complete collusion?
If this matter were to get out, it would be a disaster in terms of public opinion for ANA.
However, the only thing that made Guan Yueling feel relieved was that Kuroda Takashi's visits had long been restricted. Of course, Kuroda Takashi could not be restricted forever. As long as JCAB was given time, they could completely erase the traces of Kuroda Takashi's active report to the Aviation Safety Office.
"Maybe I'm just worrying too much." Guan Yueling thought to himself.
"President Nagano, please maintain sufficient social distance. You and I don't have any personal close relationship." After figuring this out, Guan Yueling returned to his previous indifference.
Nagano Hideki came closer and chuckled: "It seems like you are confident."
Guan Yueling was unwilling to continue this topic, and instead changed the subject: "President Nagano, I heard that the negotiations on the China-Japan-South Korea Corridor have been suspended again?"
"Isn't this expected?" When talking about this, Nagano Hideki was obviously not very interested: "Japan Airlines belongs to the Oneworld Alliance, Korean Airlines belongs to SkyTeam, and KIA belongs to Star Alliance. There is absolutely no possibility for the three of us to come together based on our alliances, let alone code sharing."
Guan Yueling suddenly laughed: "The China-Japan-Korea Aviation Corridor doesn't necessarily have to consist of only the three of you."
"We are not the largest airlines in our respective countries. If we don't initiate the cooperation, who else could it be?" Nagano Hideki asked with a sneer, "However, what you said is not wrong. But who can coordinate the civil aviation forces of China, Japan and South Korea? Yes, there is indeed no fixed country with the largest civil aviation force, but considering the feasibility of actual operation, the civil aviation force of each participant should at least be in the top two in their own country. Or does President Mizuki intend to mediate the China-Japan-South Korea air corridor?"
The China-Japan-Korea aviation corridor is aimed at creating a unified East Asian civil aviation market. Given the growing civil aviation demand in East Asia, it is possible that this region will develop into the third largest civil aviation market after the European and American markets.
But this premise is that there is an aviation alliance that can integrate the resources of the three countries. Otherwise, barriers between countries will undoubtedly increase aviation costs, and it is obviously not feasible to form a unified civil aviation market.
Needless to say, the US market does not need integration. The European market is based on the high degree of cooperation of the European Union, which can break through relevant barriers, thus making the entire European civil aviation market unimpeded.
However, there are no such conditions in East Asia, and in Nagano Hideki's view, such a thing seems unlikely to be achieved.
"Integration of the East Asian market involves sharing of airline codes, cooperation of passengers and cargo, and even coordination of settlement. It involves too many interests and compromises, so I'm afraid we need to establish a special airline alliance. However, I feel that ANA does not have the capabilities to take on such a big task." Guan Yueling is not a young man who acts impulsively. The prospect of the China-Japan-South Korea air corridor is indeed quite attractive, but it is too difficult to promote it, and Guan Yueling is clear about this.
"It seems that even President Guanyue thinks this is impossible." Nagano Hideki also lost interest when he mentioned this: "If we can integrate them together, even if it is an internal circulation, we can support the huge demand, instead of focusing on European and American routes."
Guan Yueling: "Unfortunately, that is just a luxury. The East Asian civil aviation market will always be dependent on Europe and the United States. It seems impossible to grow to a position on par with them."
…
After learning that Si Weimin was critically ill, Xu Cang packed up a little, took his passport and went directly to Hanjing. Later, he planned to go directly to the UK from Hanjing.
After landing in Hanjing, Chen Xiangdong came to pick him up personally. Xu Cang learned that Si Weimin was placed in the Civil Aviation General Hospital.
Hanjing Airport is not far from the Civil Aviation General Hospital, and it takes less than ten minutes to drive there.
When Xu Cang came over, he found that many people had gathered in the corridor outside the ward, many of whom were well-known figures. Needless to say, all the aviation officials of the Muhua faction were here, except for those who really couldn't leave.
The Civil Aviation Administration of China sent five directors, and Xu Cang even saw Director Li Jie in the crowd.
Among the three major airlines, not only the Muhua Group, but also the chairman of Guoda Airlines, Yue Sheng, and Zhou Yanping of Tiandong Airlines, also came. However, compared with his usual boldness, Zhou Yanping seemed quite reserved at this moment. Next to him stood an elegant middle-aged man. If Xu Cang guessed correctly, this man should be the helmsman of Tiandong Airlines.
"Representatives from the three major airlines and the General Administration are all here."
Xu Cang's heart skipped a beat. Such a big fuss couldn't be a good thing. Was this meant to be a funeral for Si Weimin?
Is the situation already this dangerous?
Zhou Yanping was the first to notice Xu Cang after he showed up. Under normal circumstances, he would have started shouting loudly, but in this situation, he just waved to Xu Cang.
Then more and more people saw Xu Cang. Some of them had indifferent expressions, some had strange looks in their eyes, and among them was a bearded man with a gloomy face.
In comparison, Ma Cheng's expression was more interesting. Sometimes he was panic-stricken, sometimes relieved, as if he had endless things to say in his heart.
"Are you here?"
At this moment, an old voice sounded from the crowd, and then the crowd parted, revealing a slightly hunched figure, who was none other than Bi Lin.
Bi Lin saw Xu Cang and waved to him: "Come here, Wei Min wants to see you."
Xu Cang looked at Chen Xiangdong beside him, and Chen Xiangdong patted Xu Cang on the back, motioning him to go over. In fact, Xu Cang didn't want to meet Si Weimin alone from the bottom of his heart, he couldn't accept the sadness of life and death.
But in this situation, Xu Cang had no choice.
Xu Cang walked up to Bi Lin and glanced at the half-open door of the ward: "Mr. Bi, am I alone?"
Bi Lin leaned on his cane and nodded: "He just wanted to tell someone that there is a lawyer inside. Think about what you want to say first."
Xu Cang's heart sank. The presence of a lawyer clearly meant that he was making arrangements for his funeral arrangements.
Sure enough, in this situation, some people began to feel unbearable. Among them, the bearded man was the first to say, "Mr. Bi, he is an outsider, why let him meet the chairman alone?"
"Gong Yue, you'd better shut up at this moment." Bi Lin said coldly, "Why did Wei Min suddenly become like this? I will investigate carefully later."
After these words were spoken, Cheng Qiming in the crowd lowered his head even more.
But Gong Yue didn't care. Under normal circumstances, he would not dare to refute Bi Lin. But at this moment, it would decide Mu Hua's future. How could he not fight for it?
"Mr. Bi, we are also very upset that the chairman has become like this, but let's talk about the matter objectively. If the chairman wants to say a few words to Xu Cang out of the emotion of an elder, then we don't care. But if it involves Muhua Airlines, we have to get involved. After all, this is our Muhua Airlines' family affair."
As soon as these words came out, the most numerous Muhua executives in the field reacted most violently. Because not long ago, when Si Weimin was in a daze, he inadvertently mentioned that he would hand over Muhua Airlines to Xu Cang.
The speaker may not mean it, but the listener may take it seriously.
If Si Weimin was just talking nonsense, it would be nothing. But if it was true, it would be a big deal for all the executives of Muhua. If Gong Yue really let Xu Cang simply go to see Si Weimin, then he would not be Gong Yue.
"Family affairs?" Bi Lin sneered, and didn't say anything more. Instead, he winked at Xu Cang and said, "Go in."
Xu Cang looked at Bi Lin, then at Gong Yue, hesitated for a moment, and walked into the ward.
However, just as he took a step, a muscular figure flashed before his eyes. Gong Yue actually blocked the door of the ward and glared at Xu Cang: "How dare you!"
Under such circumstances, the Muhua executives on the periphery naturally gathered around Xu Cang, looking aggressive and difficult to deal with.
In this case, Yue Sheng immediately shouted in a low voice: "Gong Yue, can't you hear what my uncle said?"
Gu Chen, who had always been calm and composed, also spoke up at the right time: "Gong Yue, you should do whatever my master says. The way you are now will make it very difficult for us to do anything."
Facing the questioning from the leaders of Guoda Airlines and Tiandong Airlines, Gong Yue was not afraid at all: "Yue Sheng, it's ok for you to put on airs for others, but are you worthy of being so arrogant to me?"
In terms of seniority, no one can compare to Gong Yue except Bi Lin. After all, Gong Yue almost became the first chairman of Northwest Airlines, and he cannot be simply regarded as the president of a branch of Muhua Airlines.
It can even be said that Yue Sheng is smaller than Gong Yue.
The civil aviation circle attaches great importance to seniority. Even though Gong Yue's position level is not as high as Yue Sheng and Gu Chen, the pressure is still enormous given his seniority.
However, it was actually Yue Sheng and Gu Chen who spoke just now, but Gong Yue only mentioned Yue Sheng's name, which has a special meaning.
At this moment, the half-closed ward door opened, revealing Si Linglong's figure. Compared to her previous radiant appearance, Si Lingling now looked extremely haggard, with red eyes, probably because she had cried not long ago.
As soon as Si Linglong appeared, the scene immediately became quiet.
Gong Yue frowned: "What instructions does the chairman have?"
Si Linglong looked at Xu Cang: " Grandpa asked you to come in."
At the end, Si Linglong added: "Just you."
Gong Yue and Ma Cheng's mouths twitched, but under such circumstances, they could not stop him. Gong Yue made way for Xu Cang with a gloomy face.
Si Linglong grabbed Xu Cang's wrist and led Xu Cang into the ward.
Entering the ward, Xu Cang found that Si Weimin was already wearing a respirator, lying flat on the bed with his eyes half closed. Beside the bed was a man in a suit and black-framed glasses.
The man saw Xu Cang coming in and nodded slightly: "I am the director of the legal department of Muhua Airlines. Next, the chairman's words will be recorded as the content of the will, so please think carefully about every word you want to say."
Xu Cang glanced at the head of the legal department. Even if he didn't say anything, Xu Cang could feel the heavy atmosphere in the ward.
Walking to the bedside, Si Linglong let go of Xu Cang, leaned over to Si Weimin's ear, and whispered, "Grandpa, Xu Cang is here."
Si Weimin opened his eyes with difficulty as if he was a sleepy person, turned his head slightly and looked at Xu Cang.
"You're here!" Si Weimin patted the bedside with his right hand, motioning Xu Cang to sit down.
Xu Cang did not sit down, but bent over: "Old man, how do you feel now?"
"I'm old and I have to go." Si Weimin struggled to sit up, but after trying several times he still couldn't do it. Si Linglong hurriedly put a pillow on his back, then held Si Weimin and sat up slightly.
Si Weimin let out a long sigh and tilted his head: "Xu Cang, thank you for your hard work."
Xu Cang felt bad when he saw Si Weimin's current state: "Grandpa, don't say that. This is what I should do."
"You are a good child, I know it all." Si Weimin sighed: "Xu Cang, what do you think of my Linglong?"
Xu Cang was stunned for a moment: "Grandpa, you..."
Si Weimin stroked Si Linglong's head and said, "Her parents passed away early, and now I am leaving too. I am worried about leaving her alone. Xu Cang, are you willing to take care of her for the rest of her life? As a thank you, you will take over Muhua Airlines. In addition, you will also inherit all the connections of the Si family."
It seems that Muhua Airlines is more important in this sentence, but it is not. Muhua Airlines is a public company after all, while the Si family's connections are private. Moreover, connections are often something that cannot be bought with money.
People of Si Weimin's level are not short of money, so many things cannot be done with money, and can only be done by relying on accumulated connections and favors. Therefore, in a sense, the Si family's connections are more valuable than money.
The head of Muhua Airlines' legal department couldn't help but blink when he heard this. As a lawyer, he should have remained neutral, but Si Weimin's last words were beyond his expectations.
"Grandpa, I just want to be with you." Si Linglong leaned beside Si Weimin, tears streaming down her face. She had never imagined that her heart would be so painful when this day came.
"Silly child, grandpa has to go eventually, there is no way to stop him." Perhaps because he felt that the time with his granddaughter was passing by so quickly, Si Weimin could not help but feel sad. He looked at Xu Cang and said, "Xu Cang, as long as you agree, everything I leave behind will be yours. And I only have one request, take good care of Linglong."
Xu Cang was silent for a moment, and finally spoke: "Grandpa, as a friend, I can always help her. But, you said taking care of her for her whole life, do you understand what that means?"
Only husband and wife can support each other and help each other. Only husband and wife can take care of each other and rely on each other.
Si Weimin seemed to have lost all his breath: "I know this request is very abrupt, but I originally thought I could hold on for another year or two. I didn't expect my death to end so soon."
Xu Cang whispered, "I'm sorry."
Si Weimin smiled bitterly: "I expected you to say that, but unfortunately I don't have time. If you don't want to marry Linglong, then I can't give you anything from my Si family. But, Xu Cang, Muhua Airlines will be given to you, can you accept it?"
From Si Weimin's tone, it seemed that Xu Cang still had reason to refuse to accept the three major domestic airlines.
It was precisely because he understood Xu Cang that Si Weimin knew that there was a real possibility that Xu Cang would not accept it.
Sure enough, Xu Cang asked, "If I take over Muhua Airlines, what about my original career?"
Si Weimin whispered, "You have to avoid suspicion. As the helmsman of Muhua Airlines, you cannot concurrently hold positions in other companies. Unless you integrate your original business into Muhua Airlines."
Hearing this, Xu Cang was stunned: "Let Muhua Airlines acquire my company?"
"So you still want to acquire Muhua Airlines?" Si Weimin raised his hand and patted Xu Cang's head: "Besides, even if you want to, Muhua Airlines' Yangcheng headquarters does not allow commercial operations."
Now, Xu Cang was in a bit of a dilemma.
He didn't want Muhua Airlines to take over his company. Those things were the result of his hard work. If they were incorporated into Muhua's system, in a sense, they would no longer be his.
However, he could not allow Muhua Airlines to be incorporated into his system. Firstly, Muhua Airlines was too big for Xu Cang to take over. Secondly, Muhua Airlines was not allowed to carry out such an operation due to its corporate nature.
And there is one most important reason.
Once he takes over Muhua Airlines, Xu Cang will have to bear far more social responsibilities than he does now. Xu Cang's personal character is still quite high, but it does not mean that he is willing to take the initiative to bear endless responsibilities.
Seeing Xu Cang hesitate, Si Weimin's expression changed slightly: "You don't want Muhua Airlines either?"
Xu Cang looked at Si Weimin: "I have a lot of other things to do, I don't want to be tied down to Muhua Airlines."
Si Weimin opened his mouth and said, "You treat this thing that those people out there dream of getting as if it were a worn-out shoe?"
Xu Cang straightened up and said again in an extremely apologetic tone: "I'm sorry, I can't accept it. You should have a good rest. I'll be waiting outside."
After saying that, Xu Cang glanced at Si Linglong and walked outside.
When he opened the door, the eyes of the people outside were all focused on Xu Cang.
However, at this moment , behind Xu Cang, Si Weimin's roar with all his strength rang out in the ward: "Don't you want the northwest? Then I'll give it to you! From today on, Xianchi Branch will be separated from Muhua Airlines and given to you free of charge. You don't have to bear any responsibilities and obligations, you don't want to be bound. Whether it's the northwest or freedom, I'll give it to you."
When these words were spoken, everyone outside the door was shocked, especially Gong Yue, the general manager of the Xianchi branch.
After a brief silence, Gong Yue suddenly shouted, "Si Weimin!"
However, just as Gong Yue's roar fell, a heavy knocking sound directly covered it. Bi Lin's cane hit the floor heavily. He looked at Xu Cang and said in a deep voice: "Xu Cang, did you hear that? If you want Northwest, this is your only and last chance."
At this time, Li Jie, who was in the crowd, said calmly: "Old Bi, we have already given him the southwest. If we give him the northwest, he will monopolize the west, which is against the rules."
However, Bi Lin ignored Li Jie and looked at Xu Cang with sharp eyes: "Xu Cang, as long as you accept it, no matter how difficult it is, I will get it done for you."
Hearing this, Li Jie's expression changed: "Mr. Bi, you are breaking the rules."
Back then, Guoda Airlines occupied the Northeast region that originally belonged to Tiandong Airlines. Even with the dignity of Guoda Airlines, it was fined by the General Administration for several years. But now, under the premise that Xu Cang already owns the southwest, he is actually required to hand over the northwest to him, which violates the basic concept of restructuring civil aviation back then.
Bi Lin just turned slightly and glanced at Li Jie: "Li Jie, this is Wei Min's last wish, I must fulfill it."
At this moment, there was no expression on Bi Lin's face, and he was so indifferent that people felt a chill.
But Li Jie also looked gloomy: "Mr. Bi, it was you who set this rule back then."
Civil aviation regions cannot be connected together. This is the most basic guiding principle of domestic civil aviation. But now Bi Lin wants to break the rules he set with his own hands.
Bi Lin retracted his gaze: "I will give you an explanation."
Li Jie looked at Bi Lin deeply and said nothing more.
However, Gong Yue completely exploded. He yelled into the ward: "Si Weimin, you want to use him to control me?"
Gong Yue is now a raging beast, and the biggest destabilizing factor for Muhua Airlines. If you don't think too deeply, you might think that for the sake of Muhua Airlines, you can let Gong Yue go out on his own.
But that’s not actually the case.
Gong Yue had accumulated resentment towards Muhua Airlines for many years. Once Gong Yue was allowed to be independent, he would definitely take revenge on Muhua Airlines. After so many years, with so much profit taken away by the headquarters, Gong Yue was able to develop the Xianchi branch to its current size by relying on the relatively poor market in the northwest. His methods were more than a little better than Ma Cheng's.
If Gong Yue wanted to target Muhua Airlines, Ma Cheng would be unable to resist at all.
Therefore, Si Weimin not only wanted to eliminate Gong Yue, the unstable factor, from Muhua Airlines, but also confine him in a cage, and Xu Cang was the cage chosen by Si Weimin.
Si Weimin could see that Xu Cang wanted to get Northwest very much, but due to the default rules of domestic civil aviation, this idea was basically impossible to implement. It was precisely because of the difficulty that the value of realizing this idea could be reflected.
Therefore, Si Weimin asked Xu Cang to get rid of Gong Yue, the biggest threat to Mu Hua, on the condition that Xu Cang could obtain the Northwest.
Muhua Airlines' Yangcheng headquarters is indeed not allowed to conduct commercial operations, but the branch is not limited to this. In a sense, Muhua Airlines' branch is only ancillary business, and it is true that it cannot dispose of the main business at will, but the restrictions on ancillary business are not that great.
Xu Cang knew that this was a poisoned apple. However, he also had to marvel at Si Weimin's brilliant way of removing the firewood from under the cauldron. This was an open plot that Xu Cang could not refuse.
Just as Bi Lin said, this is Xu Cang's last and only chance to gain control of the Northwest.
Everything depends on Xu Cang's choice!
Time passed second by second, and everyone's eyes were focused on Xu Cang.
Suddenly, Xu Cang's eyes dropped: "I accept."
In the ward, Si Weimin, who had struggled to get up, laughed three times. Then, as if all the energy was drained out, he collapsed on the bed, mumbling, "Xu Cang, don't blame me."
In fact, Si Weimin knew that compared with the trouble brought by taking over the Xianchi branch, the value of the Northwest market was not that great. According to Xu Cang's personality, he should be more inclined to refuse.
But in the end, Xu Cang accepted it.
Yue Sheng raised his chin: "Xu Cang, you are still too soft-hearted."
Accepting the Xianchi branch for free seemed to be a good deal. But in fact, the Xianchi branch had the configuration of the former Northwest Airlines, and its scale even far exceeded Xu Cang's Spring Airlines.
If the Xianchi branch is taken over, it will bring endless troubles to Xu Cang.
Yue Sheng didn't believe that Xu Cang couldn't understand this and couldn't tell the pros and cons. The only explanation was that Xu Cang was soft-hearted at that juncture.
Xu Cang pondered for a moment, he said nothing more, and walked out of the ward silently.
Then, an old and tired voice came from the ward: "I'm tired and want to rest."
After that, the voice never sounded again.
