Chapter 380: Set off for Japan, waiting for 9/11!
The door to the office of the Vice President of Operations of Blue Sky Airlines was violently slammed open, and Wang Xuan came in hurriedly: "Boss Luo, Yao Binghua actually turned himself in. How the hell could he turn himself in?"
Wang Xuan had just finished speaking when she noticed that Luo Yong was on the phone and immediately shut up.
Luo Yong looked solemn. He glanced at the flustered Wang Xuan and said calmly, "Okay, I understand. Thank you for your help."
After saying that, Luo Yong put down his phone. Wang Xuan saw that Luo Yong had finished the call and immediately stepped forward: "Luo..."
Before he could utter the second word, Luo Yong, with a ferocious look on his face, smashed the phone hard on the ground. Various parts exploded instantly and were scattered all over the floor.
Seeing this, Wang Xuan was silent as a cicada, not daring to say anything, just waiting for Luo Yong to speak first.
After waiting for a while, Luo Yong probably calmed down a little, wiped his face and said, "Sit down."
After saying that, Luo Yong first sat on his own chair, while Wang Xuan's mouth twitched and he bent over, always feeling uncomfortable. In the end, he laughed dryly and said, "Boss Luo, I can just stand."
"Whatever you want." Luo Yong put one hand on the desk, his face gloomy, and suddenly said: "I just had a chat with a friend from the General Administration."
"What's the situation now? Why did Yao Binghua turn himself in?" Wang Xuan asked with a glimmer of hope.
To be honest, even if there was little hope, what if Yao Binghua didn't surrender because of the Cebu flight? However, combined with Yao Binghua's previous performance, Wang Xuan felt desperate again.
"I don't know." Luo Yong said bitterly: "I can only confirm that Yao Binghua went to the Public Security Bureau directly under the Bureau."
"Mr. Luo, your friend?"
"He can't be relied upon, and he doesn't know the specific details." Luo Yong's face was extremely gloomy. It seemed that he had originally placed high hopes on that friend, and he seemed a little angry after being disappointed.
Wang Xuan's face turned pale. This kind of unknown situation was the most frightening. Unconsciously, Wang Xuan became more and more panicked.
Seeing Wang Xuan's expression, Luo Yong frowned at first, then seemed to have thought of something, his expression lightened up a little, and he even calmed down: "It's okay, maybe this matter really has nothing to do with us."
"Ah?" Wang Xuan was stunned: "Will it be okay?"
"Yao Binghua has so many problems, and it's not necessarily because he turned himself in because of the Cebu route incident. Maybe we just scared ourselves." Luo Yong said lightly.
Wang Xuan was full of doubt: "But, Yao Binghua came here not long ago, and what he said should be more obvious."
Before, Yao Binghua had come to Luo Yong and Yao Binghua like a lunatic. According to what Yao Binghua said at the time, he wanted to sell Luo Yong and Wang Xuan as a token of his loyalty to Xu Cang.
Luo Yong and Wang Xuan were really scared at the time, but thinking about Yao Binghua's mental state afterwards, it was possible that he was just talking nonsense. Moreover, after waiting for a while, it seemed that everything was calm, and Luo Yong and Wang Xuan didn't feel any waves, so they gradually relaxed.
Unexpectedly, not long after Ansheng was born, he got into trouble.
Luo Yong's face was extremely calm: "He was just mad that day. What's there to remember about a madman's words? There's no need to panic. Just go back and do what you need to do."
"Just ignore it?" Wang Xuan felt a little unbelievable, but seeing Luo Yong's calmness, he also felt relieved. After all, he felt that Luo Yong and he were in the same boat, and if Luo Yong felt it was okay, then it should be okay.
"Are you really just scaring yourself?" Wang Xuan always felt that this kind of thinking was a bit weird, but he didn't know how to tell Luo Yong.
Luo Yong waved his hands: "Oh, people scare people to death. Even if we take a step back, this matter is not that serious. It's just a gift of some things."
"But, that's..."
"What's that? It's normal to communicate with colleagues from the airport group. Isn't that normal?" Luo Yong said, "Besides, Yao Binghua was willing to take over, which shows that the risk factor is not big."
"He was willing to take over in the beginning because he thought that as long as he attributed the problem to the chaos of power transfer, nothing would go wrong. But now he has taken the initiative to admit it, the situation is completely different."
Just like a seasoned killer who has completed a perfect murder and is able to avoid any evidence pointing to himself, no one can do anything to him.
But now that he has admitted it himself, no matter how perfect the method is, it will be useless.
"It's okay. Besides, you work for the company. Even if something goes wrong, will the company help you?"
As soon as these words came out, Wang Xuan's eyes lit up: "Yes, yes, I work for the company, I contribute to the company."
Now, Wang Xuan has found his backbone.
Luo Yong smiled and said, "Isn't that right? We are not sure whether it is because of us. Even if it is, the company will protect you. So, don't scare yourself all the time. What if you get sick from being scared?"
"Yes, yes, that's right. I was overly worried." Wang Xuan finally breathed a sigh of relief: "Mr. Luo, thank you for your guidance, otherwise I would still be stuck in a dead end."
"Hahaha, we're all working for the company, so we should help each other." Luo Yong pondered for a moment and said, "How about this, you go back, I'll keep an eye on this. If there's any new news, I'll tell you, okay?"
Wang Xuan was no longer as flustered as before and nodded: "Then I'll go back."
"Well, you are now the general manager of the flight department. There are many things waiting for you to deal with. It is not a good idea to think about trivial things all day long. Go and do your own thing. Do your best. My position will be yours in the future."
Although he knew it was just empty talk, Wang Xuan couldn't help but feel a little excited. He quickly expressed his loyalty and then left the office.
As soon as Wang Xuan left, Luo Yong's expression instantly darkened. However, after waiting for a while, he shouted to the outside of the door: "Come in."
Soon, Luo Yong's secretary pushed the door open and said, "Boss Luo, Boss Wang has gone far away."
"Yes." Luo Yong nodded: "Talk to the flight department and the finance department to clear the account of the money previously allocated to Wang Xuan."
The money Wang Xuan gave to Yao Binghua was naturally paid by the company, and the amount was not small, so it must be recorded. The money was initiated by the Flight Department and approved by the Finance Department, and it was ostensibly public relations expenses.
"Just check the account? I'm afraid the finance department won't agree to that. The account won't match then."
"When will the accounts of the finance department be reconciled? They have been deducting money from our flight fees all day long, and now they are pretending to be incorruptible?" Luo Yong said sternly, "Just say that the accounts are not reconciled. If something goes wrong, the finance department will not be able to escape. As for how to balance the accounts, that is their concern."
The secretary was a little embarrassed: "Really?"
After all, the finance department is in charge of the company's purse strings, and the secretary is also an employee, so we don't want to make the relationship with the finance department too awkward.
"That's what I mean." Luo Yong was also pressed to the limit at this time. Even though he was higher in rank than the CFO, it didn't mean that his authority was much greater than that of the CFO. From the outside, the flight system made money for the airline, but in fact, the flight system didn't have much say, and even he, the highest person in charge of the flight system, couldn't actually give too many orders to the CFO.
If you continue to use this threatening tone, the finance department might give in, but they may find an opportunity to vent their anger in the future.
Of course, this will have to happen in the future. If you go in, you won’t have to worry about the future.
Seeing Luo Yong pretending to be calm, the secretary probably understood his thoughts and nodded: "I understand."
"Also, call those people from the PR department and the flight department over here."
Luo Yong did not specify which people they were, but his secretary knew it clearly : they were the ones who participated in formulating how to bribe Yao Binghua.
The secretary frowned and said, "Boss Luo, are you calling those people over?"
"Let's compare our statements." Luo Yong sighed, "If Yao Binghua's incident is not directed at us, then naturally everyone will be happy. But if it is directed at us, then we must respond."
"But this kind of thing is not easy to do."
"Yes, it's not easy to deal with." Luo Yong said with regret: "When that time comes, Wang Xuan will have to suffer."
The secretary was startled, with a trace of shock on his face. Not long ago, Luo Yong and Wang Xuan acted like good brothers, but now he wanted to sell Wang Xuan out and take the blame. What a scheming person...
…
At the Chunxia Aviation Base Building, after instructing Feibiao to arrange a separate theoretical instructor for Xia Shuyue, Xu Cang welcomed an old acquaintance, Deng Wenjia, the manager of Shandong Airlines' safety and supervision department.
Previously, Xu Cang had flown for Shandong Airlines for a period of time and had a good relationship with Deng Wenjia, and they would occasionally contact each other privately. This time, Deng Wenjia came to see what Spring Airlines was like, and also at the invitation of Xu Cang.
After all, they had come from far away, so Xu Cang couldn't just eat in the company cafeteria, so he arranged a car to go to Erhai City, found the best restaurant, and booked a private room. The two of them talked while eating.
"Erhai is a small place. Even the best restaurant here is just like this. Just make do with it." Xu Cang smiled and poured wine for Deng Wenjia, being very polite.
Deng Wenjia doesn't drink much, but seeing that it was Xu Cang who poured the wine, he had to have a drink or two. After all, things are different now, and it's an honor to have Xu Cang pour the wine.
"When I first met you, I felt that you were something special. I never thought you would develop to this point. I heard that you have done some great things in Europe. It's incredible."
They were all in the flying business, so they had a lot to talk about, and naturally they started talking about the incident in which Xu Cang was flying a Boeing 777 with a broken wing and it landed in Europe.
Anyone who is an aviator would be impressed by such a miraculous method.
"What's so great about it? It's just like that." Xu Cang laughed: "Besides, no matter how great it is, isn't it just pouring wine for President Deng?"
Flattery never wears out, no matter how many holes there are. Even though Deng Wenjia knew Xu Cang was flattering her on purpose, she felt full of energy and refreshed to be praised by Xu Cang. Even though she couldn't drink much, she still drank the liquor in the glass in one gulp.
After three rounds of drinking, Deng Wenjia, who was already a little tipsy, became louder without him noticing. He slammed the table and shouted, "Xu Cang, do you think I am loyal enough? I just received your message and started to do it right away."
Deng Wenjia took out two pieces of paper from his bag and said, "This is the crew list I collected, from instructors, captains to first officers and second officers. The number is not bad, more than 30. As you know, we don't have a lot of manpower in Shandong Airlines, so we can only squeeze out this much."
Xu Cang received the list and was delighted. In this list, the number of instructors and second officers was the smallest, while the captain and the first officer accounted for the majority. This was a more reasonable distribution because the main force of the airline was the captain and the first officer. Xu Cang just made a request, and Deng Wenjia not only executed it perfectly, but also took the personnel composition into consideration.
After carefully putting it away, Xu Cang thanked him repeatedly: "Boss Deng, you have worked hard. Come on, have another drink."
Deng Wenjia was so drunk by Xu Cang's magic potion that his tongue was swollen. He patted his chest and said, "You are half a Shandong Airlines member. When brothers are in trouble, we Shandong Airlines will naturally help. It's just a small matter. However, have you come up with the result of the handling of the air traffic conflict in the Xianchi area? Is it serious?"
"It must be serious, otherwise I wouldn't ask you for help." Xu Cang said solemnly: "The General Administration has not taken any drastic measures and has not set any hard targets. This attitude should also affect the appointed representatives of other districts, so the results of the investigation will not be too tragic."
In principle, the General Administration wanted the district representatives to be independent in their inspections of Spring Airlines. However, the representatives were all savvy and could get a deeper understanding of the General Administration's attitude.
Since the General Administration has not set any targets, it means that the General Administration has given Spring Airlines a break. Even if they don't let it off during the inspection, they will definitely not find fault deliberately, which greatly reduces the failure rate.
"But even if we go along normally, you know that the inspection by the bureau is already difficult, and there will probably be quite a few people grounded this time. We are even more short of manpower here in Chunxia than you are, and we are short of too many people all of a sudden, so we can only shamelessly borrow some from you."
"I understand." Deng Wenjia nodded. "The General Administration did not do this to target you. We almost collided with you, and it happened to be an inspection by the International Civil Aviation Organization. We acted in defiance of the law. We are already giving you face by not punishing you to death."
Xu Cang hummed: "I know this, I know it in my heart, and I won't complain about the punishment of the General Administration."
"What about you? Weren't you on the plane at the time? What was your punishment?"
"Me?" Xu Cang smiled. "My problem is the excessive use of flaps at high altitudes, and the clothing issue. However, the use of flaps is for emergency avoidance, so there is room for explanation. But there is no room for explanation for flying a plane in casual clothes and sneakers. You will be punished."
"I see you look cheerful and cheerful, so you don't have anything to worry about, right?" Deng Wenjia said with a smile.
Xu Cang waved his hand: "The power of God is unpredictable. I am just a small co-pilot, and I am scared to death of the General Administration."
"How dare you talk to Director Li like that, huh?" Deng Wenjia laughed and said, "Our company has also selected an appointed representative to go there. He will investigate you later. I will talk to him after I get back. It's no big deal."
Xu Cang was stunned: "Is this kind of thing okay?"
"Let me tell you, the appointed representative didn't know you, so he came to me directly and asked me to ask if you need to... relax a little." Deng Wenjia smiled and said, " Do you think this is interesting?"
"This..." Xu Cang understood a little: "You mean..."
Deng Wenjia smiled and said, "Director Li is still on your side."
Xu Cang nodded thoughtfully. If it was really what he and Deng Wenjia understood, then this investigation would be very promising, at least there would be a lot of room for maneuver. You know, the representatives affiliated with the three major airlines accounted for half of all, and he still had some connections in the three major airlines. Maybe this investigation was not as risky as he imagined.
"I'll think about it later."
"Yes." Deng Wenjia nodded. "By the way, our pilots basically don't have high-altitude qualifications, so don't arrange related routes for them. If possible, don't even arrange for plateau airports. Also, you have to keep up with the additional subsidies. They come here to help fly, so don't treat them unfairly."
Shandong Airlines is used to flying to plain airports, not to mention the complex environment of the high plateau, and even the plateau airport is rarely flown. Therefore, Deng Wenjia needs to give Xu Cang a shot in advance. In addition, Xu Cang borrowed reinforcements from Shandong Airlines, which also cost money.
In addition to the normal salary, he needs to subsidize about 8,000 yuan for overseas stationing fees, 2,000 yuan for transportation fees, and 3,000 yuan for living allowance every month. This is just for the co-pilot, the captain needs to increase it by 20%. It is normal to add some money for helping with flying, and Shandong Airlines is indeed short of manpower. It is a great friendship to squeeze out manpower to help. Xu Cang cannot be stingy on it.
Moreover, this would not last long, and would probably only last half a year. When those who were grounded gradually recovered, they would not need to help fly. It would not take long, and Xu Cang could accept the extra money.
"We have almost finished the community in the city. If they feel uncomfortable living in the company dormitory building, they can live in the city. However, this place is far from the city and the transportation is troublesome."
"It's okay, these are just minor problems. Everyone flies for the money. Once the money is in place, nothing will be a problem." Deng Wenjia said with a smile.
Xu Cang said: "That's right. If you have enough money, it won't be a problem. As for the route planning, I will explain the situation to the crew resource center. When friends from Shandong Airlines come over, most of our routes in Qianzhou and some routes outside the province will be handed over to you Shandong Airlines. We are responsible for high plateaus, plateaus and complex Class II airports. However, if there are people who are willing to receive training on high plateaus or complex Class II airports, they can apply to our flight standard and we will provide free training."
"You know, the money is different for high altitude flights and complex Category II flights."
Complex Class II airports have much higher landing fees, while high-altitude airports have higher hourly fees and landing fees. If you fly both high-altitude and complex Class II airports, your monthly salary can be about 50% higher than if you only fly plain airports, which is quite exaggerated.
Of course, this comes at the cost of risk. After all, airlines are not charity organizations.
However, for some people who think they have good skills and can reduce the risk to a certain extent, then the money-making efficiency of flying to high plateaus or complex Class II airports will be much higher.
Whether it is a high-altitude airport or a complex Class II airport, additional training is required to obtain qualifications if you want to fly these airports. These trainings include not only theoretical training on the ground, but also simulator training, so they actually have a considerable training cost.
But as long as the Shandong Airlines pilots are willing, Xu Cang is willing to provide training for free.
Deng Wenjia is also an old man. When he heard this, he clicked his tongue and said, "You kid, you have evil thoughts in mind."
Xu Cang, whose thoughts were discovered, not only did he not blush, he even said confidently: "It's a personal choice, how can you say it's bad intentions? What bad intentions can I have?"
Xu Cang's free training is a long-term plan to catch a big fish.
Free training is definitely a cost, but after Shandong Airlines pilots have experienced the rewards of flying at high altitudes and complex Category II airports, they will inevitably feel itchy and may not go back and just stay with Spring Airlines.
If only one captain stayed, all costs could be recovered.
However, Deng Wenjia didn't care about Xu Cang's little thoughts. He always believed that a forced melon is not sweet. If his own people really wanted to keep Chunxia, Shanhang would definitely not force them to stay. This was the type of situation that was fully developed.
Xu Cang liked people like Deng Wenjia who were not fussy about trivial matters. In his joy, he also drank a little wine.
Suddenly, Xu Cang asked, "Sister-in-law, have you been busy lately?"
"Ah?" Deng Wenjia was startled: "Why are you asking this?"
Xu Cang coughed twice. It was indeed a bit difficult to say these words, as if he was thinking about someone's wife. "It's like this. We are short of a cabin manager. If possible, I would like my sister-in-law to come. I have always wanted to visit Qizhou, but I have been too busy to go."
"Cabin manager?" Deng Wenjia stroked his chin, "Can I become a cabin manager right away?"
Xu Cang nodded: "Our seat is still vacant now. The previous cabin manager was too preoccupied and removed it. At that time, I wanted to ask my sister-in-law to come over."
"If you are the cabin department manager, then you can give it a try." Deng Wenjia nodded.
The cabin department is a large department after all, not a marginal department. Deng Wenjia's wife Li Feifei is still quite ambitious. In Shandong Airlines, she could only be a flight attendant, with little room for development. Coming to Spring Airlines as a cabin department manager is a very good career prospect.
However, Deng Wenjia soon realized a problem, and it was quite important: "What should I do if my wife comes over?"
Without my wife, wouldn't I be alone?
Xu Cang smiled and said, "Then President Deng can also come over."
Deng Wenjia was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter: "You kid, do you want me to pack up with you?"
"That's not what I meant. I just wanted to prevent Mr. Deng from being lonely and doing something bad."
Deng Wenjia pointed at Xu Cang and smiled a smile that all men understand: "You kid. By the way, Teacher Xian will come with you this time. I think you guys also need a theoretical teacher."
"Teacher Xian? Xian Tong?" Xu Cang almost forgot about this.
At the beginning, when he was in Shandong Airlines, he made a bet with Xiantong, and Xiantong lost in the end. At that time, Xiantong said that he would follow Xu Cang in the future. However, Xu Cang had not yet founded Spring Airlines at that time, so he did not need Xiantong, so the matter was shelved.
Xian Tong is a man with considerable knowledge, so it would be feasible to let him manage the theoretical instructors of Spring Airlines.
"Teacher Xian heard that you founded Spring Airlines, and he wanted to come over a long time ago. He was waiting for you to invite him. But in the end, he kept waiting and waiting, but you didn't come, so he had to come by himself, hahahaha."
"That would be a shame to Teacher Xian. I will hold a banquet to apologize after the teacher comes to tell me."
Deng Wenjia took another sip of wine: "What are your plans for the future?"
The smile on Xu Cang's face faded a little: "I'm going to Japan soon."
"Go to Japan, what are you doing?" Deng Wenjia asked casually, but soon realized that it was not a good idea to say so, so he quickly added: "I'm just asking casually, I won't say it if it's not convenient."
"Not really. I have to attend a hearing in Japan."
"Hearing?" Deng Wenjia didn't quite understand: "When will it be?"
"In just these two days." Xu Cang suddenly laughed: "It should be very dramatic."
