Return to 2000: Captain of the Great Powers

Under everyone's puzzled and slightly shocked eyes, a man with an extremely strong figure and dark skin stepped in.As soon as he came in, the man looked at Xu Cang and grinned: "But Xu Cang?"

Xu Cang thought about it for a long time, but he still couldn't think of who this person was, but he nodded and admitted: "Yes, I am Xu Cang, are you?"

The man stretched out his big palm-like hand and looked Xu Cang up and down: "My name is Duan Lang."

Just as Xu Cang shook Duan Lang's rough hand, he was startled when he heard his name: "You are Duan Lang, Duan Lang from Yulong, Duan Xiaoxin's father? I heard from Brother Chen that you went out to work recently."

"I just met Huaxin when I came back today. I knew you had something to do with me, so I came here by myself." Duan Lang let go of his hand: "Whether it's Yulong's great kindness, or saving my Xiaoxin's life not long ago, everything You have orders, and I will definitely do my best."

Shi Qi, Li Rongcheng, and even Hu Ming didn't know Duan Lang, only Qin Xin, who had been silent not far away, had heard of Duan Lang's name from Chen Huaxin.

The original plan was to ask Duan Lang to help build a new base.Unexpectedly, Duan Lang came to the door in person before looking for him.

"Uncle Duan, please sit down."

Just after knowing Duan Lang's identity, Xu Cang quickly took Duan Lang into the house.As soon as Duan Langfu sat down, Xu Cang poured him a glass of wine: "Uncle Duan has worked hard."

Duan Lang waved his hand and refused the drink: "Drink the wine later, let's talk about business first. I heard Huaxin said your request, it's just a few buildings, and it's easy to do. But, just now I heard outside that you are going to expand the runway of Erhai Airport? "

Hu Ming finally understood that this Duan Lang seemed to be engaged in engineering, and immediately interjected: "Brother Duan, have you ever done airport runway engineering?"

"I was the one who undertook the runway construction of Jianchuan Airport back then. If it was just to extend the runway by 400 meters, I am confident that it can be done." Duan Lang said firmly.

Xu Cang said seriously: "Uncle Duan, the runway at the airport needs to be inspected and accepted by the bureau in the end. If there is any quality problem, it will be a waste of time."

"Don't worry, if you have a channel, you can check the construction records of Jianchuan Airport, and you should be able to find my relevant content, so that you can prove what I said is true." Duan Lang said: "I built the Yulong Dam Yes, if the earthquake in the front cracks, it will be a sin that I will never be able to wash away in my life. Moreover, you saved Xiaoxin's life in the back. I have to repay you for public and private purposes. How can several buildings bear the burden? Want me to thank you?"

Xu Cang was moved when he heard it: "Uncle Duan, in three months, are you sure about the 400-meter runway?"

"Can we work all day?" Duan Lang asked.

Xu Cang shook his head directly: "Probably not. We still have to run during the day. In order to prevent accidents, it is best not to construct. How about twelve hours from five in the afternoon to five in the morning?"

"This." When Duan Lang heard that only half of the time was spent on construction every day, and it was still at night, he suddenly showed a hint of embarrassment: "If I can work all day, I can definitely complete it in three months. But if the construction time limit is added, This is a little uncertain."

"What's uncertain?" Just as Duan Lang was in a dilemma, Chen Huaxin stepped in from the outside: "Yulong has millions of people, and can't build a 400-meter runway in three months?"...

Duan Lang was startled: "Why are you here?"

"I went to your house to talk to you about something. I didn't expect Xiaoxin to say that you came to see Xu Cang, so I came with me." After Chen Huaxin finished speaking, he slapped Xu Cang's chest: "Xu Cang, we will discuss this matter with you." The Yulong people have contracted it. Three months, three months will definitely be done for you."

Xu Cang and Qin Xin looked at each other, not knowing how to answer for a moment.

"That's right, it's not just about you, it's also about our Yulong people." Duan Lang's confidence also increased greatly when he saw his brothers being so heroic: "During the Yulong earthquake, you saved the entire Yulong by saving the dam. Now , we will return you a runway. Don’t worry, I will accept this matter.”

Xu Cang was still a little worried: "I can't have any problems with the runway. If you have any risks, please speak up."

If Xu Cang believed Duan Lang and Chen Huaxin now, he would definitely agree to buy the 737-900 aircraft.Even the first one-fifth of the purchase price is almost used up all the funds of the current base, and it is estimated that a loan will be needed.

If the plane arrives three months later, the runway has not been extended.Not only was the purchase of the plane a complete failure, but the subsequent parking of the plane would also cost money, which could easily become the last straw that crushed Xu Cang.

Now Xu Cang and the others are too fragile to withstand any storm.

"I understand what it means. Xu Cang, if you still have worries, I will show you something tomorrow, and you will know." Chen Huaxin said seriously.

Qin Xin walked to Xu Cang's side, gently grabbed Xu Cang's arm, and called out worriedly: "Xu Cang?"

At this time, facing a fork in the road that would affect the fate of his career, Qin Xin still wanted Xu Cang to make up his mind.

Xu Cang took a deep look at Chen Huaxin, and finally uttered a sentence: "Then, see you tomorrow!"

"Okay!" Chen Huaxin didn't even sit down from the beginning to the end, but patted Duan Lang: "Come on, let's go get ready."

"What are you preparing?" Duan Lang pointed at the wine that Xu Cang poured for him: "I just sat down."

Chen Huaxin tugged at Duan Lang's clothes: "I've finished my work, I have plenty of time to drink."

As he said that, with Duan Lang's reluctance on his face, Chen Huaxin dragged Duan Langsheng away.

When the two left, Xu Cang let out a long breath, his heart was beating wildly, and he didn't know if it was because of drinking too much, or what.

"Xu Cang, do you really think they can extend the 400-meter runway in three months?" Hu Ming still had some worries in his heart: "This is Erhai Airport, the traffic is very inconvenient, and the exchange of materials and personnel will probably be very troublesome."

Xu Cang lowered his head: "I know, but we should always find a way out for ourselves."

As he said that, Xu Cang looked at Li Rongcheng: "The 737-900x I mentioned just now, do you have it?"

"What are you thinking!" Li Rongcheng took a sip of his tea, "Even the 900 model was released recently, how could its derivative model have already been released?"

"It hasn't come out yet?" Xu Cang patted his face, maybe alcohol caused his thinking to be slightly confused, and he couldn't figure out the specific history of 737-900 for a while.

However, this cannot be blamed on Xu Cang.After all, the 737-900 model is a very rare model, and only a few dozen were produced in total.And there seems to be only one 737-900x, or 737-900er, in China.As a result, Xu Cang knew that there was such a 737 series, the largest model, but he did not know when this model came out. …

Li Rongcheng snorted: "Actually, even if it comes out, I don't recommend you to buy it. In our concept, the unit price of the 737-900x is estimated to be equivalent to the sum of the prices of two basic 737-700s. You don't have extremely high-quality planes now. Even if you can buy 900x for domestic routes, you will basically lose money. 900x is almost the limit of an airline company of your size."

The extremely high-quality routes that Li Rongcheng mentioned are the routes between first-level hubs such as Hanjing direct flight to Yangcheng.This kind of route not only has a high ticket price, but also has a high occupancy rate. Of course, it is within the range of narrow-body aircraft, so you can sit as many seats as you can.

But like now Xu Cang and the others operate a single route structure, the fare is lowered, and the idea is the idea of ​​small profits but quick turnover. If they buy 900x, it will be a year of the monkey to make back their money?

"Double the price?" Xu Cang doesn't know much about the 737-900 model, let alone the 900x, which has not yet been born and only exists in concept.

Since the 900 model is much larger, the price will naturally rise, so Xu Cang is still somewhat prepared.But the derivative model 900x is directly twice as expensive as the standard configuration of 700, which simply surpassed Xu Cang's imagination.

"Forget it, you can't afford it, you can't afford it, you keep the cubs for yourself." Xu Cang resolutely gave up: "Just 900 is enough, enough, enough!"

Li Rongcheng nodded: "Then you give me an accurate answer as soon as possible, so that I can arrange it for you. Although in theory, it is not easy to find new buyers for these 900s in the near future, just in case, you can do more. Decide as soon as you decide, and change later.”

Xu Cang nodded: "I see."

"Okay, I've had this wine and chatted, so I won't bother you." Hu Ming stood up slowly: "Xu Cang, once a decision is made on extending the runway of Erhai Airport, you will immediately Inform me, and I will be in charge of the financial appropriation."

After finishing speaking, Hu Ming planned to leave.

Just as Hu Ming was about to leave, Xu Cang also stood up and stopped Hu Ming: "Director Hu, since Erhai is a city that Weiyang supports, can the Weiyang government come forward to open an Erhai— Tianning's route."

"You want to fly to Tianning, is this route very profitable?" Hu Ming was taken aback for a moment.

"I have flown in Shandong Airlines for a while, and I feel that the people in Tianning are very enthusiastic about the choice of civil aviation transportation. I think I can try it."

Previously, when Xu Cang was seconded by Shandong Airlines, he encountered the situation that the round-trip flight from Qizhou to Tianning was full.At first, Xu Cang didn't understand why the business was so good.Later, after a little investigation, I found that the occupancy rate of all flights with Tinian is not bad, especially to those cities with tourist characteristics.

Xu Cang reckoned that the people in Tianning had a high economic level, so they could choose air transportation relatively easily.Moreover, the people there are relatively comfortable, with a relaxed pace of life, and are more willing to spend money to enjoy life instead of constantly working and saving money.

Tianning and Weiyang are naturally two different cities, but Tianning is the provincial capital, and the two places are next to each other. Weiyang is Tianning's own family. If the Weiyang government is willing to talk to the Tianning government, the success rate is not low. of.

After all, although Tianning is the provincial capital, no matter how you say it, it is not as good as Yangcheng.The time at Yangcheng Airport is difficult, but it is much easier in Tianning. …

Hu Ming thought for a while: "If you think there is a need, I can mediate it. It shouldn't be particularly difficult."

Tianning Airport is far from being saturated now, and Hu Ming is still somewhat sure of a flight timetable.After all, to help my younger brother complete political tasks, as the eldest brother, it is still duty-bound.

"Then trouble Director Hu." Xu Cang was grateful.

Hu Ming shook his head: "What you said is that we are closely related, so there is no trouble, okay, let's go."

After speaking, Hu Ming left the room.The original people were left in the room, and now they had drunk a lot, Xu Cang began to feel sleepy, his eyelids trembling.

Seeing Xu Cang's precarious appearance, Shi Qi brushed off his body and stood up: "Okay, that's it for today, let's tidy up."

As soon as Shi Qi finished speaking, he heard Peng's cry, Xu Cang fell backwards and fell into Qin Xin's arms, followed by solid snoring.

Qin Xin hugged Xu Cang, who smelled like alcohol, with a helpless expression on her face.

At this moment, Li Rongcheng didn't seem very sober anymore. Shi Qi looked at him and pointed at Li Rongcheng: "Boss Qin, I'm in charge of this guy, and Xu Cang will leave it to you?"

Qin Xin looked at Xu Cang who was sleeping soundly, and sighed: "Okay, I'll send him to the house first."

Saying that, Qin Xin helped Xu Cang go to his dormitory room.Fortunately, Xu Cang's room is on the first floor. Once you leave the cafeteria and pass the yard, you will be there within two steps.

Pushing open the door of Xu Cang's dormitory, flicking on the light in the room, Qin Xin moved Xu Cang to the bed little by little.She leaned against the bed by herself, let Xu Cang pillow in her arms, and at the same time brought a glass of water from the bedside table and gave Xu Cang a sip.

After waiting for a while, Qin Xin felt that Xu Cang's breathing gradually became even, and he presumably fell asleep.So, he prepared to slowly remove Xu Cang from his body.

As a result, just as Qin Xin moved, Xu Cang turned over and put his arms around Qin Xin's waist, causing Qin Xin to cry out tenderly.

"Xu Cang?" Qin Xin called softly, "I'm going back."

However, Xu Cang did not show any sign of letting go under the soft call, but actually hugged him even tighter.His side face leaned against Qin Xin's arms, as if it was the most comfortable place in the world, and he never wanted to leave again.

Qin Xin lowered her eyes, pushed aside her hair that covered Xu Cang's side face, revealing Xu Cang's side face that was as thick as fat.Perhaps under the influence of alcohol, Xu Cang's side face is now rosy, like a delicate flower.

Qin Xin stroked Xu Cang's side face with her fingers, a doting smile appeared on her pretty face: "Why are you so pretty?"

As Qin Xin's words fell, Qin Xin didn't move anymore, and the lights in Xu Cang's room were also turned off.

In the early morning of the next day, the penetrating sunlight woke up Xu Cang who was soundly asleep.Opening some dry eyes, Xu Cang felt a splitting headache.

"Sure enough, you shouldn't drink so much." Xu Cang rubbed his temples.He doesn't drink well, and he doesn't usually drink much. He was too excited last night, and he was too presumptuous in drinking.

The charming fragrance that poured into his nostrils stimulated Xu Cang's still somewhat chaotic thinking. After a while, Xu Cang's consciousness finally became clearer.He tried his best to sniff, but he couldn't figure out why his room smelled so sweet. …

Scratching his messy hair, Xu Cang squinted his eyes and looked outside, the sun was already high in the sky.I don't need to fly a flight today, I'll take a shower later, sober up.

After changing his clothes, Xu Cang came out and entered the courtyard, facing the morning sun and the breeze, Xu Cang's last little headache was gone.

Suddenly, Xu Cang took a closer look at the door and found Chen Huaxin and Duan Lang coming hand in hand.Xu Cang rushed to meet him, but saw Chen Huaxin still holding a piece of paper in his hand.

"So early?" Xu Cang just planned to introduce Chen Huaxin and Duan Lang into the courtyard, but Chen Huaxin refused.

I saw Chen Huaxin pass the paper in his hand to Xu Cang: "Xu Cang, these are the fingerprints of all the engineering team members of Yulong except those who are under construction. This is the military order we gave you."

Xu Cang took the piece of paper, and sure enough, there were dense fingerprints on it, some of which were layered on top of each other, almost overlapping.

"Brother Chen, who is this?" Although Chen Huaxin looked younger than Duan Lang, he was a bit more arrogant.

Chen Huaxin said with a smile: "This is the promise. Are you still worried?"

Xu Cang held the weighty paper in his hands, his heart was throbbing.He didn't know how hard Chen Huaxin and Duan Lang had put in to get this piece of paper full of fingerprints last night, but Xu Cang could deeply feel their rock-like determination.

But Xu Cang was still a little worried: "Brother Chen, it's not that I'm spoiling your interest. Erhai Airport has complex terrain, and it's very troublesome just to transport materials to the mountain. The amount of this project will not be small."

"So, I didn't just bring this piece of paper." Chen Huaxin laughed, then grabbed Xu Cang's arm and pulled it outside.

"Brother Chen, where are we going?" Xu Cang was startled and uncertain at first, but suddenly he vaguely heard bustling sounds, and after being pulled downhill by Chen Huaxin, Chen Huaxin pointed down: "Look!"

Looking in the direction Chen Huaxin pointed, Xu Cang's child hole suddenly shrank.I saw dense crowds of people standing on the flat ground below the slope, at least hundreds of people.These people are wearing the most ordinary clothes, but their faces are filled with the most innocent smiles.

Suddenly, someone spotted Xu Cang standing on the slope.Suddenly, thunderous cheers erupted from the crowd.

"They came here spontaneously because you needed help." Duan Lang said with a smile: "They do some small work, and it is definitely enough to move materials. In this way, our engineering team doesn't have to worry about these chores, and the construction progress will be much faster."

At this moment, Xu Cang's heart seemed to be throbbing with the continuous sound waves below, and a wave of hot blood filled Xu Cang's chest.

With so many people, let alone just extending the runway by 400 meters, it is not impossible to build a new runway.

Chen Huaxin lowered his eyebrows, and his blood was also extremely boiling. Looking at Xu Cang, he said softly: "Yulong has not forgotten her hero."

ps—I have to go out for training in the last three or four days, so there will not be so many updates these days, and I should be able to recover after the training, everyone forgive me.
