Chapter 419: Phoenix Aviation School comes to your doorstep!
"Mr. Nakamura, I feel embarrassed when you slander me like this." Fujido Tsuyoshi said with a smile.
Nakamura Yukio's face turned pale. "You still feel embarrassed after using such a despicable method? I thought you wouldn't have such emotions."
"How can it be despicable?" Fujido Tsuyoshi said slowly, "This is just a means to calm Mr. Nakamura down. When people are excited, they tend to do things that are disadvantageous to both parties. As Mr. Nakamura said, as long as everything remains as calm as before, this recording will always stay where it belongs, not on the editor's desk of a newspaper, or even in the report mailbox of the Special Investigation Department."
After hearing the last sentence, Yukio Nakamura's eyelids couldn't stop twitching, and the threatening and arrogant tone he had used before suddenly faded.
"Toudou Tsuyoshi, doing this will not do you any good." Nakamura Yukio said coldly.
"You're right, so don't let me take that step, okay , Mr. Nakamura?" Fujido took the recorder back: "Can we have a normal conversation now?"
It was obvious that Yukio Nakamura was more concerned about the recording than the subsequent conversation.
"This is the original audio file. Is there any other location?"
Fujitang just saw Nakamura Yukio's anxious look, and suddenly laughed and raised a finger: "This is the original, but unfortunately, there is also a copy of the document."
Yukio Nakamura's eyes widened like bells: "Where is it? Where is the other audio?"
Fujido Tsuyoshi scraped the wall of the wine glass with his fingertips, showing an extremely disappointed look: "Mr. Nakamura, can't you understand such a simple thing?"
Nakamura Yukio was stunned for a moment, his brows twisted into a "川" shape, and asked in an uncertain tone: "Is it...Xu Cang?"
Fujitang Gang sighed: "Isn't this obvious? All the beneficiaries and all the initiative are leaning towards Xu Cang. How can this be so difficult to guess? Compared to Xu Cang, you are really too late to realize it. Cooperating with him is indeed a good choice."
"Xu Cang, he dares!" Nakamura Yukio was so angry that he was fuming. However, Nakamura Yukio soon calmed down a little. Staying in a state of anger was not only useless, but also made him lose the ability to think.
After calming down a bit, Nakamura Yukio asked calmly, "Are you here to tell Xu Cang about this? What does he want?"
"This is how we should have a formal conversation." Fujido Tsuyoshi said with a smile, "Mr. Nakamura, in the upcoming election for the ICAO Class I Director, JCAB should vote for CAAC."
Yukio Nakamura sneered and said, "Xu Cang really has a good plan. However, it is not enough for us to vote in CAAC. We must get the support of EASA and FAA."
"Mr. Nakamura doesn't need to worry about this. EASA and FAA will support CAAC. If JCAB also supports it, then everything will be settled."
"Xu Cang convinced EASA and FAA, how is that possible?" Nakamura Yukio felt incredible: "Does he have such great power?"
CAAC's election for a Class I director is not a simple election, but involves a lot of interest compromises. According to Tsuyoshi Fujido, EASA and FAA support CAAC without making any interest demands?
"You don't need to worry about why he was able to convince EASA and FAA. What JCAB has to do is to support CAAC. This is his most important requirement," Fujido Tsuyoshi confirmed.
Yukio Nakamura was speechless for a moment: "I can't make a decision on this request. I need to report it."
"It's okay, just report it." Fujido Tsuyoshi took a sip of his wine: "However, if JCAB can't give a clear commitment, there will be more trouble in the future."
The corners of Yukio Nakamura's mouth twitched a few times: "What do you mean by that ?"
"After the privatization of the airline industry, in principle, JCAB should not have given JAL more policy support, but privately, they are not adopting fair policies, right?" Fujido Tsuyoshi said calmly, "Also, during several crises of varying sizes, the government has injected capital several times to save JAL. It would not be good if the public knew that their tax money was spent on these things."
Nakamura Yukio's expression suddenly changed: "Do you know what you are talking about?"
JCAB favors JAL, which is an open fact in the industry, and even JAL's competitor ANA is aware of it. However, some windows cannot be broken, because breaking them would be a self-destructive move that kills one thousand enemies but hurts eight hundred of your own.
Therefore, ANA has been suffering in silence and has remained silent.
But Xu Cang is different. He is not from the Japanese civil aviation industry, and he happens to have a huge social influence now. Many people listen to what he says. He is at a stage where he is not afraid of big trouble when starting a group.
Of course, starting this kind of group will also have an impact on Xu Cang. After all, he has a layout in Japan, and if he starts a group, he will also suffer losses.
However, this is a straightforward game for the faint of heart.
Xu Cang was sure that JCAB would not dare to take another blow.
JCAB is already under great pressure from public opinion. If there is another wave, Xu Cang will bleed and JCAB will be killed.
"So, don't let me tell anyone, Mr. Nakamura." Fujido Tsuyoshi smacked his lips and continued earnestly: "Mr. Nakamura, why don't JACB agree to it. I don't think JCAB has ever thought of voting against it, but just hopes to gain some benefits from it. There is no need to put themselves in a desperate situation on this matter, right?"
To be honest, Fujido Tsuyoshi didn't want to go that far. After all, he was a Japanese and still had to live in Japan. If things got too rigid, it would be hard for him to live.
In addition, Fujido Tsuyoshi clearly saw the underlying tendency of JACB. CAAC should have a corresponding voice in ICAO because of its rapid market growth, so even if CAAC cannot be elected this time, it will definitely be elected next time.
A market with huge potential that can gradually rival Europe and the United States cannot always be a Class II director.
Therefore, based on underlying logic, JCAB should have just gone with the flow and cast its vote of approval. JACB's compromise with Xu Cang did not violate its own principles. The mere loss of some interests should not be a reason for both parties to go to extremes.
Yukio Nakamura is actually just a clerk, so how could he give a clear promise to Tsuyoshi Fujido here?
However, he was somewhat tempted.
Xu Cang was too patient. He was previously portrayed by the public as a demon who killed people without blinking an eye. He was so infamous that he refused to refute it. He waited for the situation to turn around, and then he launched wave after wave of attacks, making JCAB exhausted.
Yukio Nakamura was really afraid of such a patient guy, so it was better not to provoke him. Compromising with him was a more acceptable outcome.
"Can you guarantee that he won't pursue us relentlessly after we accept Xu Cang's conditions?" Yukio Nakamura asked.
"Mr. Nakamura, Xu Cang is going to take over Japan Airlines in the future. If it doesn't really come to that, he is willing to maintain a basic buffer zone with JCAB."
Yukio Nakamura was stunned on the spot: "He is going to take over Japan Airlines. When?"
Fujitang scratched his head and said, "Mr. Nakamura, you really don't know anything!"
…
On the top-floor observation deck of a hotel in Tokyo, Xu Cang leaned on the edge of the railing, feeling the breeze and feeling very comfortable.
By this time, it was late at night, and the bustling Tokyo was filled with bright lights and decadent music, proclaiming how wonderful the world was.
The wound on Xu Cang's left shoulder had not yet completely healed, so he could not touch water. However, as long as he wore loose clothes and did not rub the wound, it would not affect his activities. Of course, the doctor had advised him not to engage in strenuous activities, and Xu Cang himself was not very keen on exercise, so he just walked around a little and breathed some fresh air, which met the doctor's requirements.
Maybe it was because he had just recovered from an injury, but Xu Cang was a little afraid of the cold. Compared to the other people in the observation deck, he wore an extra sweater.
Next to Xu Cang, Yue Sheng, the long-unseen chairman of Guoda Airlines, slowly took out a document and said, "Here, the introduction agreement for the fruit drying production line, do you have any questions?"
On September 11, Xu Cang was shot in the shoulder, and Yue Sheng originally planned to stay to look after Xu Cang. However, after Xu Cang woke up, he insisted that Yue Sheng go to Hokkaido as originally planned.
Yue Sheng couldn't argue, and since Qin Xin came to take over later, Yue Sheng followed Xu Cang's request and went to Hokkaido, and only came back during the day today.
"No need to look at it." Xu Cang put away the import agreement very naturally without even looking at it. It is not uncommon for the chairman of Guoda Airlines to supervise a small fruit drying production line.
Yue Sheng glanced at Xu Cang's face, which was a little pale, but in good spirits, so he felt relieved: "What is this little thing used for?"
"We need to solve some employment problems, otherwise some social problems will be easily exacerbated. In addition, we can also explore a possible business direction in the future."
Xu Cang doesn't care much about the dried fruit business.
Who eats high-end dried fruits? Isn’t it just for the freshness and juiciness of the fruit that you spend more money on?
If nothing unexpected happens, dried fruits will only serve as a supplement to Xu Cang's high-end fruit business. Of course, given the huge domestic market, if the dried fruit business can be expanded to a large scale, relying on small profits but quick turnover, it is estimated to be a lucrative business.
Of course, this is just a beautiful idea, and Xu Cang didn't have high hopes for it. He just planned to give it a try.
"You really do have some incomprehensible interests." In Yue Sheng's opinion, this little fruit drying gadget can only be regarded as a small interest and has no development prospects. Perhaps it is really as Xu Cang said, just to relocate some people who have lost their jobs due to the fresh fruit business.
Compared with Xu Cang’s personal “little interest”, Yue Sheng is more concerned about the affairs of Jiasu Airlines and Japan Airlines.
"During the day, you sent me a message saying that you have solved the problem of aircraft sources for the fleet renovation of Jiasu Airlines?" Yue Sheng looked at Xu Cang suspiciously: "Where will the aircraft come from? In the international market now, it is difficult to get a large number of narrow-body aircraft without paying more, right?"
The mainstream narrow-body aircraft now are the 737 and 320. Jiasu Airlines has a wider range of aircraft models and already has a small number of 737 and 320, so it is possible that it will introduce both models at the same time.
"After the incident in the United States, the world's civil aviation industry is expected to experience a period of decline. Previously, driven by the European market, the world's civil aviation industry was overly prosperous. Now that a bucket of cold water has been poured on it, perhaps some orders for narrow-body aircraft will be vacated." Xu Cang paused: "In addition, it is expected that many of ANA's narrow-body aircraft will be transferred out, and we will be responsible for receiving them when the time comes."
As he spoke, Xu Cang told Yue Sheng how he had lured (coerced) ANA to shift its main business to the international stage.
Xu Cang did not explain in detail, but only gave a general idea.
However, knowing who Yue Sheng is, one can understand the complicated scheme just by listening carefully.
"Although I hated you before, I'm glad that my uncle stopped me." Yue Sheng said seriously, "You're only in your twenties, how come you're full of tricks? It's terrible."
Yue Sheng’s uncle is Bi Lin, the director of the Flight Test Institute.
Yue Sheng did dislike Xu Cang before. However, Bi Lin admired Xu Cang very much, so when they talked to Yue Sheng privately, he once mentioned that Yue Sheng should not have a bad relationship with Xu Cang. Yue Sheng respected Bi Lin very much and listened to him, which led to the opportunity for their relationship to improve.
Anyway, up to now, Yue Sheng is really convinced.
It is said that old people who are still alive are thieves. Xu Cang has only been thinking for a dozen years, minus the time before he was ten years old when he was ignorant. How could he have developed more wisdom in a dozen years than others in decades?
The ability to strategize is really too overwhelming.
"Then according to what you said, ANA should accept it, right?"
Xu Cang instinctively shrugged his shoulders, but the wound was moved, and he felt a sharp pain again. He grimaced and said, "They have no other choice. According to my estimation, ANA will release at least 20 narrow-body aircraft. This number can barely support the aircraft model innovation of Jiasu Airlines for the time being. In addition, taking advantage of the downturn in civil aviation during this period, we can see if there are any quotas in the international leasing market that can quickly get aircraft. Jiasu Airlines needs about 40 aircraft to completely innovate its models. If we try hard, there should be no problem."
Speaking of the downturn in the civil aviation industry, Xu Cang nudged Yue Sheng with his right elbow and said, "Boss Yue, have you talked to the people in the marketing department? What do they say about the future market outlook?"
The market development department of NUS Airlines is quite insightful, and their opinions can basically influence the forecasts of other domestic airlines.
In fact, many companies are keeping an eye on the business strategy of Guoda Airlines. Xu Cang inquired about the inside information from the boss of Guoda Airlines in advance and was able to basically predict the future cognitive trends of the domestic civil aviation industry.
"Yohoo, you are asking for business secrets." Yue Sheng rolled his eyes. "But aren't you a prophet? You still have to ask me this, isn't it obvious? It's hard to say how long it will last, but the US civil aviation industry will definitely have a downturn for a while. The US market is one of the two largest civil aviation markets in the world. If one leg is lame, how can it be good?"
Yue Sheng clapped his hands and said, "We are like a fire in the city gate, which affects the fish in the pond. Anyway, the opinions of the marketing department and the strategy department are very consistent. The aircraft introduction plan for next year will be based on the most conservative standards, and the route expansion will be put on hold."
"What about the training of flight trainees?"
"Hmm?" Yue Sheng was stunned: "What are you thinking about?"
Xu Cang smiled and said, "I mean, you shouldn't need so many pilot trainees, right?"
Yue Sheng frowned and looked at Xu Cang: "Yes, there are fewer planes coming in, and the number of routes will not increase too much. We must adjust the number of students to be trained. Why are you asking this?"
"Then the aviation school has lost a lot of orders?"
“Oh no.” Yue Sheng waved his hands. “Ever since the General Administration lifted restrictions on civil aviation, the aviation schools have been reaping the benefits for more than a year. They have become arrogant and have bad tempers. I thought civil aviation could prosper for another ten years, but I didn’t expect this incident in the United States to happen. It’s just the right time to dampen their enthusiasm.”
It seems that Yue Sheng is also very dissatisfied with the arrogant style of the aviation school in the past two years.
"I'm afraid if it's not to kill the spirit, I guess some people will lose their lives."
Just as Xu Cang finished speaking, his cell phone suddenly rang.
Before leaving, Qin Xin bought a new mobile phone for Xu Cang and installed the SIM card directly without changing it.
The new phone is a Samsung, and Xu Cang likes it quite a lot.
When the call was connected, Zhu Ming's cheerful voice came from the other end: "Xu Cang, our boss asked me to ask you today, do you still want to buy Phoenix Aviation School?"
