Chapter 418: How dare you trick me?
In this matter, ANA actually had no choice, and even Japan Airlines was taken into account by Xu Cang.
Guan Yueling didn't know when Xu Cang's order for ten high-ranking 777s was arranged in advance, but Xu Cang's operations were simply linked together.
Guan Yueling was sure that Xu Cang had obtained evidence of a private transaction between JCAB and ANA a long time ago, but he just kept silent and let the public opinion attacking him ferment. This was for the purpose of trampling ANA's domestic reputation into the mud with the momentum of today's public opinion reversal.
Xu Cang was right about one thing. ANA would not be able to regain its former glory in at least five years. Only time could slowly wash away the impact of this incident. However, this was only a possibility, and that was only if ANA made great efforts.
The ten high-quality European and American routes proposed by Xu Cang were so tempting that they could serve as the foundation for expanding the international route market. Moreover, Xu Cang made no secret of his desire for ANA's narrow-body aircraft fleet.
Of course, Guan Yueling could tell Japan Airlines about this, but regardless of whether Japan Airlines believed it or not, if Xu Cang gave the ten European and American routes to Japan Airlines, ANA's international route market, which had just started to show some signs of improvement, would be greatly squeezed.
This is an open conspiracy!
Xu Cang did not help ANA build its international route market out of kindness.
This move can, on the one hand, earn a considerable price difference by transferring the 777 order; on the other hand, by increasing the competitiveness of ANA's international routes, it will pressure JAL to pay more attention to the domestic market, thereby increasing the value of Goodspeed Airlines in merger negotiations; and on the other hand, it will force or tempt ANA to focus its operations on the international market, so that it will have no time to take care of the domestic market and will have to cut part of its narrow-body fleet. In this way, it can take over ANA's retired narrow-body aircraft at a lower price and complete the upgrade of Goodspeed Airlines at a lower cost.
In addition, there is one crucial point.
That is, Xu Cang must always maintain the competition between Japan Airlines and All Nippon Airways, so that he can gain more benefits from the fight between the two giants.
This is simply a powerful and resourceful tyrant!
However, there was one thing Guan Yueling didn't quite understand. In this series of operations, a very important node was the complete reversal of public . However, the key to this reversal of public opinion was the collision of the World Trade Center in the United States. Could this be predicted in advance?
"Or is there really a god helping him?" Guan Yueling inexplicably had this strange thought.
Xu Cang didn't say anything, just waited quietly for Guan Yueling to make a decision.
After a long time, Guan Yueling sighed softly: "Is it really okay for you to use us like this?"
"Isn't this your choice?" Xu Cang stood up. He knew that Guan Yueling had made a decision and this conversation was about to end.
"I will submit your proposal to the board of directors." Guan Yueling said expressionlessly: "I think the board of directors should agree."
Xu Cang smiled and said, "Yes, they will agree."
After saying that, Xu Cang clapped his hands: "Okay, this wasn't a pleasant conversation, but at least we got the expected result. Let's go!"
Xu Cang did not hesitate at all. He straightened his clothes and walked towards the door.
When they were about to leave, Guan Yueling suddenly shouted to Xu Cang, "There is another reason you didn't tell me. Why did you give up on us?"
Xu Cang paused and turned to Guan Yueling: "President Guan Yue, can I trust you?"
"Xu Cang, you..." Guan Yueling originally wanted to answer this question subconsciously, but suddenly, she felt that this scene was somewhat familiar.
During the Kuroda Takashi incident, when Xu Cang was injured and hospitalized, she visited Xu Cang once. At that time, Xu Cang asked her if she knew how Kuroda Takashi evaded security checks, and she made up a random excuse to get by. Xu Cang asked if he could trust her.
This moment is just like that moment.
Guan Yueling's expression changed slightly: "Did you know it at that time?"
Xu Cang said calmly: "I know everything."
After saying that, Xu Cang left the office, leaving Guan Yueling with a changing expression.
After leaving the office, Xu Cang strolled in the corridor. Suddenly, he took out his mobile phone and clicked on the text message. There was a message from Richard Baier. The content was very short - I have found a suitable successor, you can agree to EASA and FAA.
"Found it already?" Xu Cang curled his lips and secretly sighed that Richard Bayer was really lucky.
However, Xu Cang saw a piece of news these days. During the 9/11 incident, the United States banned flights, and an ANA flight bound for the United States ran out of fuel when deciding on an alternate landing location. It eventually made an emergency landing on the highway, and no one on board was injured or killed. The forced landing technique was indeed top-notch, and it was said that it was not done by the crew, but by a passenger on the plane.
Xu Cang muttered: "Could it be him?"
…
The sudden decline in ANA's domestic reputation also frightened Kawasaki Mingzo. He originally thought that the role of public opinion was very limited. He never expected that in just one day, ANA went from having a good reputation in the country to being a villain in the eyes of the public for exchanging interests.
The meeting with Bombardier originally scheduled for the morning was postponed again and again. Until the evening, when Kawasaki Mingzo saw the criticism of ANA on TV, he dared not give it another try. If he didn't handle it well, it would be easy to die as soon as he gave it.
So, at seven o'clock that evening, Kawasaki Akiza did not show up and let someone convey his final decision not to cooperate with Bombardier.
This caught Bombardier off guard. They had almost reached an agreement before, but they didn't expect to fail at the last minute.
Bombardier's vice president was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, but he just couldn't find Kawasaki Akizo. Kawasaki Akizo also knew that he was in the wrong, so he kept hiding from Bombardier's vice president Trughouse. The two of them were like playing hide-and-seek. In the end, Trughouse couldn't find him and had to return to Canada.
However, this is the end of Bombardier's lifeline. Even if Bombardier can receive new orders, it cannot build the aircraft without a supplier of fuselage parts.
The good news is that there is another supplier of fuselage parts in the world, the bad news is that it is Germany's Airbus.
…
Of course, JCAB is as anxious as Bombardier .
After that report came out, it wasn't just ANA that was hurt. JCAB's blood pressure was also high, especially JCAB's director Nagashima Kenshin, whose blood vessels were about to burst.
The JCAB building fell into an eerie silence after the report came out. Everyone tiptoed and controlled their breathing, for fear that any loud noise would anger Nagashima Kenji.
Fortunately, however, at least the other people in JCAB could have a moment of peace during this period, because the director of the Aviation Safety Office was already taking on the wrath of Nagashima Jianzhi.
The JCAB building echoed with Nagashima's upright roar.
"I told you to destroy the phone minutes, but you can't burn them. You just use a shredder, right?" The veins on Changdao Jianzhi's forehead popped up. "Forget about using a shredder, but can you handle the shredded paper properly and just throw it away as trash?"
Changdao Jian pointed his finger at the head of the Aviation Safety Office and cursed, but the head was just like his grandson and didn't dare to refute a word.
Actually, he was fully responsible for this matter.
However, who would have thought that someone would look at JCAB's garbage and piece together the shredded paper?
That phone call minutes was simply a death warrant for JCAB. It put JCAB on the fire and roasted Changdao Jian straight to a red-hot temperature.
At this moment, Changdao Jianzhi had a red face and a thick neck, as if he had eaten ten kilograms of thousand-year-old ginseng in one breath. The head of the Aviation Safety Office did not dare to doubt that Changdao Jianzhi had enough strength to beat people.
Changdao Jianzhi wiped his mouth. He was so excited that his saliva spurted out. Fortunately, there were no sharp objects on his desk, otherwise he was really worried that he would not be able to resist and smash the director of the Aviation Security Office to death.
Looking at the director of the Aviation Safety Office who was curled up like a quail, Nagashima Kenzhi also had a terrible headache. If killing was not against the law, he really wanted to stab the man in front of him.
In the corner of the office, investigator Yukio Nakamura also pursed his lips, feeling very nervous. Even though he was not primarily responsible for the matter, he did not dare to speak, for fear of offending Nagashima Kenji.
Suddenly, Nagashima Ken turned to Nakamura Yukio and shouted coldly: "Who wrote that report?"
Nakamura Yukio was startled and shivered: "Toudou Tsuyoshi."
"Toudou Tsuyoshi, that guy?" Nagashima Kenshin narrowed his eyes. "Where is the anonymous source of the information? Can you find him?"
"That..." Nakamura Yukio was embarrassed: "That's not easy to check, but I can try."
Changdao Jian straightened his eyes and glared: "Why don't you go and check it out?"
Yukio Nakamura's heart tightened, and he dared not stay any longer, so he quickly left the office.
Nagashima's chest rose and fell. He glanced at the director of the Aviation Security Office and snorted coldly, "You can get out too."
The head of the Aviation Safety Office slipped out of the office very smoothly as if he had been pardoned.
As the office emptied, Changdao Jianzhi gradually calmed down. He knocked his right fist lightly on the table, and finally pressed the call bell and said, "Please help me contact Director Li of CAAC."
…
In an izakaya in Katsushika District, Japan, Yukio Nakamura was drinking silently. Opposite him, Tsuyoshi Fujido was sitting upright but always with a slight smile on his face.
As a famous drunkard, the glass in front of Fujido Tsuyoshi was already filled with fine wine, but in Fujido Tsuyoshi's eyes it was as if there was nothing in it and he had no interest in tasting the wine at all.
Yukio Nakamura drank the wine in the glass in one gulp, and then slammed the glass heavily on the table. Perhaps because he drank too quickly, Yukio Nakamura's face was flushed, and even his eyes were a little bloodshot.
However, it was this appearance that made Nakamura Yukio seem more aggressive and ruthless: "Who gave you the information?"
Yukio Nakamura spoke in a low voice, looking fierce.
However, Fujido Tsuyoshi was nonchalant: "Mr. Nakamura, you are asking me to break the rules of the industry."
"What a bullshit industry rule." Nakamura Yukio slammed the table, shaking the wine in Fujido Tsuyoshi's glass. He yelled at the top of his voice: "I don't think there is any anonymous tip-off, you are the one who betrayed us on purpose, right?"
"But what good will it do if I betray you?" Fujita Tsuyoshi asked back.
This question really stumped Yukio Nakamura.
However, he hesitated for only a moment before he shouted, "At the end of that report, you were begging for mercy from Xu Cang, just to clear yourself. Isn't that a good thing?"
At the end of the report that exposed ANA and JCAB, Fujido Tsuyoshi also attached an apology letter, the content of which was about the article Fujido Tsuyoshi had written earlier that questioned Xu Cang's handling of the hijacking. For this, Fujido Tsuyoshi publicly apologized to Xu Cang.
The apology letter itself was nothing special, but in a brief interview on a TV station that night, Xu Cang clearly stated that he accepted Fujido Tsuyoshi's apology.
Now that the real owner had accepted it, the public pressure that Fujitang had been under was suddenly reduced a lot.
In Yukio Nakamura's view, Fujido Tsuyoshi reached a private deal with Xu Cang, forging the so-called whistleblower and letting Fujido Tsuyoshi report the inside information. In return, Xu Cang could accept Fujido Tsuyoshi's apology to reduce his own public pressure.
This conspiracy theory is indeed very logical, but it has a fatal problem, which is...
"But I didn't know about the telephone minutes of the JCAB Aviation Safety Office!" Fujido Tsuyoshi said suddenly.
What Fujido Tsuyoshi pointed out directly left Yukio Nakamura speechless.
It is true that Fujido Tsuyoshi knew that Kuroda Takashi had informed JCAB about the security loophole at Haneda Airport in advance. However, he only knew that there was such a thing. Fujido Tsuyoshi had no idea how Kuroda Takashi told JCAB, whether he came to the door, sent a letter, or called.
It is useless to know that such a thing happened. Without evidence, it is easy for people to turn around and say it is a rumor. The most fatal thing in this matter is the paper of the telephone minutes, which provides a huge proof of the authenticity of the report.
Yukio Nakamura opened his mouth but couldn't find any reason to refute, so he just poured himself a glass of wine and drank it down.
"Since it wasn't you, then who was the person who provided the information?!"
Fujido Tsuyoshi sighed, "Mr. Nakamura, I told you that it's very difficult for me to do this."
"It's not impossible to do it, but it's difficult to do it!" Nakamura Yukio said coldly: "You have a lot of black material, do you want me to reveal some of it?"
Fujitang's face suddenly turned cold: "Mr. Nakamura, this is very against the rules."
"Rules, rules? You must first let Nagashima Kenshin understand what the rules are. If he doesn't follow the rules, how can I follow the rules?" Nakamura Yukio roared, "Tell me who gave you the information. I promise that your dirty laundry will remain there quietly, never to be seen by the light of day."
Now it is Nagashima Kenji who is putting pressure on Nakamura Yukio, not Nakamura Yukio deliberately breaking the rules.
A higher-ranking official can crush people to death!
However, Fujido Tsuyoshi just silently took out a recorder, then clicked it to play, and Fujido Tsuyoshi's voice was heard at the beginning.
"Mr. Nakamura, have you changed your mind?"
As soon as this voice came out, Nakamura Yukio's face suddenly changed. He slammed the table and stood up, slapping the recorder away with a slap: "How dare you trick me!"
