Return to 2000: Captain of the Great Powers

Chapter 220 All things are empty!Planetary gear! (Please subscribe!)
Xu Cang's words were so piercing that no representative from Boeing headquarters could refute them.The research report is all a cover, an excuse to short Boeing. What is really scary is the giant crocodile in the capital market.

Boeing wants to rely on the 1566 FDR in Xu Cang's hand to save itself, but if it is not careful, it will draw the flames of war on itself.Xu Cang is not Boeing, he can be crushed to death by just moving his little finger.

"I don't want the 1000 million, and I don't want anything from your Boeing, I just don't want to participate. For me, this game is too dangerous." Xu Cang put the luggage on his back: "I believe you can understand my difficulties. "

The representative of the Boeing headquarters opened his mouth. Of course, he could understand Xu Cang's concerns, but this was not a reason for Xu Cang to reject Boeing.

"Relax, we will guarantee that you will not be retaliated against." The Boeing headquarters representative promised.

However, when he said this, the representative of the Boeing headquarters felt that his momentum was three points weaker.Boing himself was made extremely uncomfortable, and he promised to cover Xu Cang. Isn't this lying to children?
Xu Cang didn't even bother to answer the Boeing headquarters representative, but just pushed the man away and walked to the front cabin on his own.

At this moment, quite a few flight crews have already packed their things and gathered on the passenger elevator outside the cabin, waiting for the crew to come to pick them up.However, when they saw the cool Boeing personnel wearing sunglasses, the flight crew all showed surprise.

When Xu Cang got out of the cabin door, he saw that there were already many people outside. He glanced at the apron, but he didn't find the crew car: "The car hasn't come yet?"

"No!" Chao Ning pouted towards the silent Boeing staff beside him: "Know you?"

"I don't know." Xu Cang stepped out of the cabin one step at a time, facing the icy cold wind outside, a little unaccustomed to it.Whether it is Jianchuan or Erhai Lake, among other things, the climate is definitely quite good. It is warm in winter and cool in summer. It is really unbearable to blow such a cold winter wind all at once.

Not long after Xu Cang came out, the flight attendants also came down one after another. For a while, the passenger elevator car was full of people.

"Let's go, go down and wait." Chao Ning seemed to be in the leading position. If he didn't go down, the other crews didn't dare to go down. Only when he spoke, did people start to go down.No way, the civil aviation industry is extremely hierarchical.

However, as soon as five or six people went down, the representative of the Boeing headquarters just came out of the cabin.At this moment, he had already taken off his sunglasses, and when he came out, he found that there were people all around him, and his mouth muttered a few times, it was really inconvenient to talk about things in full view.

Xu Cang was not interested in wasting time with him, and the two crew cars that happened to pick him up also came. After all, there are so many international crew members that one car cannot fit in them.

Xu Cang walked down the crowd without even looking at the representatives of the Boeing headquarters.This time, the representative of the Boeing headquarters was in a panic, and he grabbed Xu Cang's arm regardless of whether there was anyone nearby: "Are you going to increase the price?"

"What I said should be very clear. This is not something I can participate in. I don't want anything from you, and you don't want anything from me." Xu Cang shook the hand of the Boeing headquarters representative, he really hated it Another man grabbed him like this, especially when he was an unfamiliar person.

Seeing that Xu Cang had arrived on the airfield and was about to board the car, the expression on the face of the Boeing headquarters representative changed rapidly, and finally he shouted: "Xu Cang, one month. You have at most one month to think about it. We can accept your price increase, as long as it is within a reasonable range. However, if you still refuse after one month, then your worries will become reality in advance.”

The implication is that if Xu Cang toasts and refuses to eat fine wine, then Boing himself will take care of Xu Cang without the action of the mysterious giant crocodile.Even though Boing is in a bad situation now, he can still deal with Xu Cang with ease.

As soon as this remark came out, the other crew members stopped involuntarily, and some of them were even more stunned. It seemed that the entanglement between Xu Cang and Boeing was quite deep.However, these words did not have any effect on Xu Cang, he still went to the engine car on his own.But when passing by Chao Ning, Chao Ning looked at the representative of Boeing headquarters on the top of the passenger elevator, then at Xu Cang who was expressionless, and asked Xu Cang, "The people above are calling you."

Xu Cang snorted: "Don't worry about it."

As a result, Chao Ning stopped talking and followed Xu Cang into the crew car.

In less than half a minute, the crew had all boarded the car, then the door was closed and they left directly.

Looking at the crew car going away, the representative of Boeing headquarters had a really unpleasant expression.Judging from the analysis of Xu Cang's personality at the headquarters, once this person made a decision, it was difficult to change it, and he wasn't the kind of person who would be fooled by profit and wisdom, so it was a bit difficult to deal with.

Or, Boeing is still too polite to him, a kid who doesn't know the heights of heaven and earth dare to put on airs in front of Boeing?
"This kid's airline's trunk liners are all our Boeings now, right?"

The subordinate immediately said: "One 900, three 800s, and two 900s in the agreement, do you need to teach him a lesson?"

Spring and Summer Airlines is not a big airline. If it deliberately rectifies a large airline, it will also have a loss of interest for Boeing itself and the impact will be very bad.But for fringe airlines such as Spring and Summer Airlines, isn't that just a random rectification?

Regardless of whether it is in terms of aviation materials, maintenance services or technical support, Spring Airlines can handle Spring and Summer Airlines. The only difference is whether Boeing wants to or not.

"Not for the time being. It would be best if he can figure it out." The Boeing headquarters representative snorted, "It's really life-or-death. Boeing is already being polite to him. If it is replaced by GM and Lockheed, he still has a chance. Arrogant?"

Hearing this, the subordinate couldn't help asking: "I heard that the CEO of General Electric and the director of Lockheed Martin's advanced technology research group are very interested in him. The ban between us and Airbus is also requested by these two. If If he performs differently in the Rolls-Royce engine test in the future, he will definitely be reused by General Electric and Skunk Works, should we think about this issue in advance?"

The representative of the Boeing headquarters laughed: "Do you think it is a good thing to be spotted by General Electric and Lockheed Martin? No, that will only be the beginning of his suffering. Those two companies have neither light nor heavy, some are There is a way to make him a slave for two test flights."

In the early morning of the next day, Ma Cheng was listening to the secretary's report on the transoceanic flight of the Boeing 777 in the office of the head of the strategy department of Muhua Aviation.

"That means that the crew did not report the failure to the control, and finally landed safely?" Ma Cheng asked.

The secretary nodded: "That's what it means. The flight department and the engineering department have received reports about the failure from the flight crew and maintenance respectively, and the contents of the two are consistent. The flight department asked whether the crew should continue to perform the subsequent return flight? "

Ma Cheng's eyes flashed with thought, and he asked after a while: "Are there any aircrews available in Los Angeles?"

"The flight department is adjusting the capacity, but it should be able to be adjusted."

"Then replace all of them and let them all join the crew to come back." Ma Cheng said directly: "Also, according to the regulations, let the flight department do a final review, and then report the incident report to the bureau."

"The flight department means do you want to polish it?"

Ma Cheng waved his hand: "It's not necessary, just report it according to the actual situation. If there is any punishment from the bureau, just accept it."

"What about the crew involved? The general manager of the flight department is a little unsure."

"There is no safety problem with the plane, and the interests of the company are protected. Is it possible to punish it? However, this matter is not worth publicizing. It is still necessary to take care of the face of the General Administration. If the Bureau wants to ground the plane, then arrange They take paid leave at the average hourly rate. If they want to downgrade, they will be transferred to upgrade. These people are all the first priority. If they want to be fined, then they will compensate for other reasons. Understand what I mean ?”

Ma Cheng has said it so clearly, what else does the secretary not understand?

"I see. I will convey your meaning to the general manager of the flight department." The secretary thought for a while: "What about Xu Cang? He does not belong to our company, but he will probably be punished jointly."

Ma Cheng said directly: "This time the chairman let Xu Cang sit in charge, it really is foresight, or that kid Xu Cang can make up his mind. About Xu Cang's matter, when he comes back, I will tell him alone, so I don't need to worry about the flight department gone."

The secretary nodded: "I see."

"Mr. Ma, since the 777's transoceanic flight has verified the possibility of direct flights, there must be no need to transfer to South Korea or Japan. Should the route between Busan and Tokyo still be maintained?"

Due to the inherent disadvantages of Muhua Airlines in many international routes, especially on European and American routes, they chose to cooperate with Asiana Airlines and All Nippon Airways.That is, Muhua Airlines transports domestic personnel to Busan Gimhae International Airport or Tokyo's Haneda International Airport, and then Asiana Airlines or All Nippon Airways transports personnel to various parts of the world.

In a sense, Muhua Airlines is a bit like a source of customers.After all, South Korea and Japan cannot fully take advantage of the profitability of international routes due to market size factors, and can only partially rely on the source of passengers provided by Muhua Airlines.

However, in this kind of cooperation, the benefit distribution of Muhua Airlines is somewhat lower.But now it is different. Since the Boeing 777 can fly directly to Los Angeles, Muhua Airlines can completely carry out European and American routes by itself, so there is no need to share benefits with Asiana Airlines or ANA.

"Today, our cooperation agreement with Asiana Airlines on China-Korea routes will expire, right?"

Secretary: "Yes, it should not be continued."

"Then let's announce it together at that time." Ma Cheng said: "Let the flight department evaluate the European and American routes we can fly, and then let the marketing department and finance department evaluate the cost, and that's it."

"We provide more than 30.00% of Asiana Airlines' passenger sources. If we cut off the cooperation with Asiana Airlines on European and American routes, Asiana Airlines may not accept it."

Ma Cheng sneered: "Then what does it matter to us? This is an inherent problem in the small country market. Could it be that we have always played the role of providing customers?"

"Then what if Asiana Airlines proposes to redistribute the profits of European and American routes? For example, increase our sharing ratio?"

This made Ma Cheng feel a little embarrassed, he was all about money.If Asiana Airlines makes concessions on the profit sharing of European and American routes, it seems that it is not impossible to negotiate.

After pondering for a moment, Ma Cheng hummed: "In short, calculate the cost first, and then we will see the reaction of Asiana Airlines."

"However, Mr. Ma! Speaking of Asiana Airlines, I heard some rumors."

Ma Cheng was in a good mood at the moment, and he leaned back, looking quite relaxed: "What's wrong with Asiana Airlines?"

"Recently, the SRAA conducted a surprise inspection of the headquarters of Asiana Airlines."

Ma Cheng became a little interested: "Seoul authorities have investigated Asiana Airlines' home base, are they so disrespectful? What's the reason?"

"There are rumors that the Seoul Aviation Administration has discovered that Asiana Airlines has falsified a large number of documents." The secretary said: "The situation seems to be a bit bad."

Ma Cheng smacked his lips: "False flight crew experience?"

"More than that, it involves many aspects. It is possible that Asiana Airlines will encounter big trouble."

"A lot of things? Asiana Airlines is so courageous." Ma Cheng said with a smile: "If Asiana Airlines is in big trouble, what about Korean Air, can they sit idly by? Korean Air has always wanted to acquire Asiana Aviation."

In the director's office of the Seoul Aviation Administration Building, thousands of miles away, Asiana Airlines President Park Seo-won was talking with Director Kim of the administration, but Park Seok-won's gloomy face indicated that the content of the conversation made him quite unhappy.

Park Xiyuan said coldly: "Director Jin, are your people so ignorant now? We have directly found our headquarters building, and now there are all rumors about our Asiana outside. Is this really good?"

Director Jin looked a little embarrassed: "President Park, you can't blame me at this moment."

"I don't blame you? You issued the inspection warrant." Park Xiyuan was about to yell, but considering the identity of the other party, he restrained himself.

"That's right, I issued the warrant. But what can I do? I can't just turn a blind eye to the clues you gave me, can I?" Director Jin was also very annoyed: "In the final analysis, is it because you are not good at your own hands and feet? Send the original document over, and if something goes wrong, you can’t blame us.”

Upon hearing the so-called original document, the expression on Park Seok-won's face was incomparably wonderful, and finally he could only sigh dejectedly: "It was just an accident."

It has not been a day or two for Asiana Airlines to falsify documents, but it has never exploded.But not long ago, the Seoul Aviation Administration asked Asiana Airlines to send a file of the volcanic ash incident.

That's right, it was the time when Xu Cang encountered volcanic ash in Jakarta.

At that time, British Airways was in a hurry and had no way to deal with the volcanic ash. It could only use the name of CAA to send a message for help to the Civil Aviation Administrations of countries all over the world that had experienced volcanic ash events.

Asiana Airlines once encountered a volcanic ash incident, and the Seoul Aviation Administration wants the archives of that volcanic ash incident.

In fact, in that volcanic ash incident, the handling of the Asiana Airlines crew was not perfect.However, Asiana Airlines made some "modifications" to the relevant report, and the report submitted to the authorities was the revised report, and the file was originally left at the headquarters of Asiana Airlines.

At that time, the Seoul Aviation Administration asked Asiana Airlines for more detailed files, and Asiana Airlines had no reason to refuse, and Park Suk-won, the president, also agreed.According to past experience, Asiana Airlines only needs to make some dispensable additions to the previously revised report.

However, due to the urgent urging of the Seoul Aviation Administration, the flight department of Asiana Airlines made a mistake and sent the original file to the bureau.When I found out that I sent the wrong file, I couldn't get it back.

After obtaining the original file, the Seoul Aviation Administration found that the content contained in it was quite different from the previous incident report submitted by Asiana Airlines. It immediately realized that Asiana Airlines was suspected of falsifying documents, so it applied for a surprise inspection of Asiana Airlines. headquarters building.

This incident seems quite funny from any angle, or it can only be said to echo the old saying, how can anyone not wet his shoes when he often walks by the river?
Asiana Airlines capsized in the gutter not once or twice, but the timing of the accident was not very good. It was at a critical period when they were competing with Korean Air. Such a scandal happened at such a time. Asiana Airlines’ corporate Can Chang Park Seok-won not get angry?

"Director Jin, can't the big things be turned into small ones? It's not like I haven't done it before, but now things haven't fully fermented."

Director Jin showed a look of embarrassment: "President Park, I'm afraid I can't help you with this matter."

Park Xiyuan couldn't control it on the spot: "Director Jin, we are grasshoppers on the same rope!"

"President Park, are you going to tear yourself apart? If you have a handle, I don't have your handle?" Director Jin also looked a little upset: "We are cooperating, not subordinate. I can still pretend that such a big thing happened. Cheng didn’t see it, so what should I do as the bureau chief? Now it’s not like before, information spreads very quickly now, and it’s not so easy to suppress.”

Pu Xiyuan's chest heaved rapidly, and there was a piercing chill in his eyes, but he finally suppressed it: "Director Jin, you know, I didn't mean that. The time is very sensitive now, please do help us, after the event , we will be grateful.”

Seeing Park Xiyuan's softening, Director Jin's face turned pale: "President Park, it's not that I don't want to help you, but that I can't help you. I can only tell you that in the next year, the Bureau will not accept Asiana Airlines again." any application."

Pu Xiyuan's expression changed suddenly, and finally he nodded slightly: "I understand, thank Director Jin for reminding. Since Director Jin has his own difficulties, I don't want to bother you."

After finishing speaking, Park Xiyuan stood up and said goodbye, walking in a hurry, it seemed that he was going back to arrange things.

However, when Pu Xiyuan left, the door of the inner room of the office suddenly opened, and a person came out of it. This person was 1.8 meters tall, with a straight figure and a gentle temperament. He looked like a gentleman.

The man chuckled and sat down on Park Seok-won's previous seat, looking at Director Jin: "Director Jin is so knowledgeable, we at Korean Air are very grateful."

There was a hint of flattery in Director Jin's smile: "President Cui is being polite. Naturally, our bureau operates in accordance with the regulations. Asiana Airlines has done something wrong, so it will naturally be punished."

The man called President Cui clapped his hands and smiled: "Director Jin is indeed a convincing law enforcement officer. However, I really like to hear what Director Jin said just now."

Director Jin smiled and said, "I don't know which sentence it is?"

President Cui snapped his fingers: "Information spreads very quickly now, and it's not so easy to suppress it. Tsk tsk tsk, it's true that this is the age of information technology, but any scandal must be spread thousands of miles away."

Director Jin was puzzled: "What does President Cui mean?"

President Cui opened his arms: "Naturally, it is widely advertised. Wouldn't it be a pity that such an interesting story is not shared with the public. At that time, in terms of media and public opinion, I hope that the Seoul Aviation Administration can guarantee the public's right to know, knowing everything, There are endless words."

Director Jin was taken aback for a moment, then suddenly realized, and immediately said: "That's natural."

At the same time, in the corridor outside the office, Pu Xiyuan walked quickly, and beside him was a beautiful woman who was his secretary.

"Does Asiana have any application plans for important routes in the coming year?" Park Seok-won asked while talking.

Since the bureau no longer accepts any applications from Asiana Airlines, it naturally includes route applications.As a result, the development plan of Asiana Airlines will be completely messed up.However, fortunately, Director Kim revealed in advance, which gave Park Seok-won time to respond in advance.

Although it didn't suppress the matter, it was good to get this information.

The secretary immediately replied: "Hiana has completed most of the route expansion this year, and it is planned to be steady next year. Even if the bureau does not accept the route application, the impact will not be too great."

"That's good." Hearing this, Pu Xiyuan breathed a sigh of relief, a blessing among misfortunes.Had this happened during the expansion of Asiana Airlines, it would have been almost fatal.

"However, our agreement with Spring and Summer Airlines is about to go wrong."

Park Xiyuan stopped suddenly, and asked a little strangely: "Spring and Summer Airlines, what agreement?"

"President, didn't you talk about it not long ago? The opening of Shanghai-Seoul, Shanghai-Busan, and Shanghai-Incheon routes is our new partner."

As soon as this remark came out, Pu Xiyuan's face changed suddenly, and he recalled it all at once.

At that time, he made an agreement with Xu Cang that Xu Cang would take care of Tiandong Airlines, and he would take care of the Civil Aviation Administration of his country.But now, the bureau no longer accepts any applications from Asiana Airlines, so doesn't that mean that the three routes from Shanghai to South Korea have all failed?
Isn't he about to break the contract?

Another day passed, and according to the regulations of the rest period, Xu Cang should return from Los Angeles tomorrow night. However, the headquarters of Muhua Aviation has contacted the previous flight crew and informed them that there should be other crew members on the return flight. Xu Cang will follow up. There is no need to sit in the cockpit anymore, but to go back as an additional crew member, which is relatively easy.

Moreover, Xu Cang met Chao Ning in the morning, and seeing his flushed face, it seemed that Muhua Airlines had given enough compensation.

Originally Xu Cang planned to go out for a walk, but he was persuaded back by the bitter cold wind just as he went out last night.Originally, Xu Cang didn't have much interest in the United States, but now that he's out in the severe cold, think about it or forget it, and just stay in the hotel.

Xu Cang is a bit of a homebody, he doesn't like to move around, it doesn't matter if he stays in his room all day.Moreover, the overnight hotel chosen by Muhua Airlines is not bad, at least the restaurant is more in line with Xu Cang's taste.

In the evening, Xu Cang stepped on the spot and went to the hotel restaurant.However, when he first entered the restaurant, Xu Cang immediately felt a little strange.

It's so quiet!Although it's only time for the meal to start, there won't be many diners, but it's not like there's no one there. I came a little later than this point last night, and half of the seats are already occupied.

However, after asking the waiter, the waiter said that the restaurant is open normally, nothing special.Even though he felt a little strange, as long as he could order food, then Xu Cang didn't care.

After being seated, Xu Cang first studied the menu.The steak was good last night, but the medium-rare level made Xu Cang feel like he was drinking blood. It was tender, but Xu Cang couldn't accept it.

If Xu Cang was really allowed to choose, he would have to choose the one who knows everything well.Of course, it is not that there is no well-done steak, but this is easy to appear "unique".

Just when Xu Cang was thinking about ordering it again, looking like he was half-familiar, two people suddenly came across the table, and they pulled the seat directly, and sat opposite Xu Cang.

Facing these two uninvited guests, Xu Cang was a little strange: "Excuse me, are you going to share a table? There are many empty seats around."

One of the Asian-looking young men was wearing a casual sportswear, smiling and waving his hands: "We are here to look for you, Mr. Xu, it is better to meet you than to be famous."

"Looking for me?" Xu Cang glanced at the two people on the opposite side, and suddenly had an idea, he pointed around: "Then this restaurant?"

"Of course we reserved the venue." Another Caucasian smiled and said, "I don't like places that are too noisy, and this is just right now."

Good guy, in order to create a relatively quiet environment for conversation, the hotel restaurant is directly booked. Is this the world of the rich?

"But, in my memory, I don't seem to know the two of you?"

Xu Cang's first thought at first was that the two people in front of him were lobbyists for Boeing.However, thinking about it, it seems unlikely.Although Boeing is a bit more difficult now, it is not at the end of its rope. How could it be such a behavior like a dog's skin plaster? Isn't this embarrassing yourself?
The white man smiled and stretched out his hand: "Lockheed Martin advanced technology project team leader, Steve."

And the young man with Asian appearance continued: "General Electric's, Yu Chen."

"Yu Yuchen?"

"Why, you look surprised." Yu Chen laughed.

"It's a rare surname. Are you a Chinese?"

"No, but my ancestral home is yes." Yu Chen said.

"It's very rare for someone to move abroad and call himself a domestic name."

"Although I won't go back again, it doesn't prevent me from liking my surname. Not only will I use this surname, but it will also be passed on in the future. After all, it's a rare surname, isn't it?"

Speaking of this, Steve also interjected: "I can testify that he hates being called by his English name. But this Yu. Yuchen sounds really strange."

"That's because you don't know how to appreciate it." Yu Chen snorted and looked directly at Xu Cang: "How about the Boeing 777's GE90 engine? You have participated in the final test of the 777, so you should have some intuitive feelings."

Xu Cang put the menu aside: "It's a good engine, but it's too big."

The diameter of an engine is even larger than the fuselage of a 737, which is really outrageous.

"It's a bit big." Yu Chen didn't hide his opinion on GE90.

The huge engine can naturally provide unprecedented huge thrust, but it will also limit the scope of use of the GE90. After all, even some heavy-duty machines cannot fit a giant like the GE90.

Xu Cang was confused when he heard Yu Chen complaining about his own products.What are these two people here for? One from Lockheed Martin and one from General Electric. It seems that I have no direct interest relationship with them, right?
Yu Chen coughed lightly: "Xu Cang, what do you think of this place? How is it compared to the country?"

"Huh?" Xu Cang didn't expect Yu Chen to ask this question, but after thinking about it, it became clear in his heart. I'm afraid it's still the old-fashioned purpose, calling for safety!
Xu Cang was silent for a moment, and cut straight to the point: "Did you two hire me to test the flight?"

"Hahaha!" Steve laughed immediately: "Yuchen, I just dislike your mother-in-law and mother-in-law. It's so troublesome when you talk around the bush. You can clearly explain it in one sentence. That's right, our two families have some test flight missions. , I don’t know if you are interested or not. Don’t worry, you can raise it boldly in terms of remuneration.”

Yu Chen snorted dissatisfiedly, but still said: "I mean the same thing. GE90 is indeed too big, we want to promote a derivative version of GE90. However, the development of this version of the engine is not smooth, I hope you can participate Come in and help us."

Xu Cang didn't answer immediately, but turned to Steve.Steve went straight to the point, without any intention of hiding anything: "Xu Cang, we want you to participate in the HAWC project. However, due to the special nature of this project, you need to change your nationality first, otherwise it will be inconvenient."

"Change nationality?" Xu Cang frowned.

Steve thought that Xu Cang was resistant to changing his nationality, so he wanted to explain: "Xu Cang, HAWC is."

"The hypersonic air-breathing weapon project, I know, I saw it on the news." Xu Cang said blankly: "It's just that I didn't expect you to ask me to participate in this kind of project."

Steve does know that this project has indeed spread news, of course there are many considerations.However, Xu Cang was able to directly report the project name of HAWC, which really surprised Steve.

Steve laughed and said, "We welcome any capable people. Changing your nationality is just a small requirement. It's just a nationality. You don't have any special feelings about it, do you?"

"I'm sorry, I really do." Xu Cang said with a light smile.

Steve didn't continue to say anything about Xu Cang's remarks. Instead, he turned his head to look at Yu Chen, and said with interest: "Didn't I say that this is useless? You like to do these useless things."

However, Yu Chen did not answer Steve, but said with a little regret: "Xu Cang, you will make us very difficult."

"There's an old saying in our place, twisted melons are not sweet. Thanks to the love of the two of you, this is the end of the test flight?"

"There's really no room for turning around?" Steve was still grinning, and he didn't look like the head of the Skunk Works at all.

Xu Cang's eyelids drooped: "Isn't the room for turning around blocked by the two of you?"

Steve became interested: "Oh? How do you say that?"

Xu Cang's eyes were fixed: "Have you two visited Airbus and Boeing?"

"Aha? There is indeed such a thing." Steve agreed without any hesitation, with a heartbroken look on his face: "Xu Cang, it's a pity that you spend your energy on airline companies." Ah. You should use your talents in the right place, we just want to be a guide."

Xu Cang smiled and said, "Then I have to thank you both?"

"It's not necessary, it's what we should do." Steve waved his hand: "I didn't expect your news to be very good. Originally, we had to wait for the test of Rollo's Trent 900 before making a decision. However, now It doesn't seem to be necessary."

"No need?" Xu Cang immediately understood the problem.

As far as Xu Cang knows, General Electric and Lockheed Martin ordered Boeing and Airbus to ban Xu Cang after the Rolls-Royce Trent 900 test was carried out as the case may be.Because these two companies need to rely on Xu Cang's performance in the Trent 900 test to make the final judgment on Xu Cang's value.

Now, however, Steve is saying no, which is kind of weird.

Yu Chen picked up a cup of tea: "Are you pinning your hopes on the post-test reward that Luo Luo will give you? If so, then you may be disappointed."

"What do you mean?"

"Don't you even know?" Steve spread his hands: "The Trent 900 test that Luo Luo agreed with you should be cancelled, and the cooperation between you is over."

"Cancel? Impossible!" Xu Cang's heart skipped a beat: "Luo Luo has no reason to cancel the test."

Yu Chen put down the water glass: "Why not? The reason why Rollo is so eager to complete the Trent 900 test is to monopolize the A380 project. But if Airbus has already announced that the A380 engine will be two solutions of Trent 900 and GP7200 So, why is there any reason for Luoluo to rush forward the Trent 900? From now until the first A380 is expected to be delivered, there is still more than half a year, which is enough time for Luoluo to finish the finishing work of the Trent 900 calmly, then Why does it still cooperate with you?"

Xu Cang's expression changed: "Airbus has announced the final power plan for the A380?"

As Yuchen said, the reason why Rollo wants to complete all the work on the Trent 900 in the fastest time is to persuade Airbus to choose the Trent 380 alone with the advantages of finished products before Airbus announces the final power plan of the A900.

But if Airbus has already decided to choose both the Trent 900 and GP7200, what is the urgent reason for Rollo?Naturally, the deal with Xu Cang will also be cancelled.

"It's impossible for Airbus to announce the final power plan so early." Xu Cang said coldly.

To be fair, now is the moment when Rolls-Royce and the engine alliance compete for the A380 project, and Airbus can take advantage of it.How can there be such an eagerness to announce the final power plan, so how can Rollo-Royce and the engine alliance compete with each other? This is not in the interests of Airbus.

Steve raised his eyebrows and stretched out three fingers: "In three days, at most three days, you will be able to see the news. Then you will know what I said is true. However, for you, it should be It's a pity to make you very unhappy. Originally, we planned to use the Trent 900 test to see your quality, but now we have no chance. However, Yu Chen is very relieved of you, and there is no Trent 900 test. I'm quite optimistic about you, tsk tsk tsk, you shouldn't let Yu Chen down."

"Xu Cang, I heard that one of the conditions for you to participate in the Trent 900 test is Luo Luo's three-rotor technology?" Yu Chen said, "Is this the betting chip for the future?"

Xu Cang didn't hide anything, even Lee Hyuk-jae from CFM company knew about it.The news channels of these international companies are too strong, and it is difficult to hide them if they are careful.

"That's right, it's the three-rotor technology."

Yu Chen lowered his eyebrows: "I heard Li Hyuk-jae said that you should develop an engine with performance comparable to CFM56. At first, I thought this was too ridiculous. But, I think you should not be the kind of person who talks nonsense. Go back, I think about it For several days, it seems that I have figured out something interesting."

Xu Cang's heart skipped a beat, but the expression on his face remained unchanged: "I would like to hear more about it."

"Your country's engine development is not worthless, but there are still some bottlenecks. For example, rotor technology, such as high-temperature alloys, such as low-pressure fans. For rotor technology, you seem to prefer Rolls-Royce's three-rotor technology instead of our enhanced dual-rotor technology. Rotor. I haven’t figured out superalloys yet, but I have some ideas about low-pressure fans.”

Xu Cang did not speak, but Yu Chen said to himself: "I can be [-]% sure that your country will not be able to break through the technology of carbon fiber embedded titanium alloy in the next ten years. If you can't break through, then try to bypass this hurdle , isn't it?"

The smile on Steve's face next to him gradually faded, and finally turned into a sarcastic sneer.And Yu Chen's eyes were bright: "Xu Cang, if you want to bypass the carbon fiber embedded titanium alloy process, you must pass Pratt & Whitney's planetary gear, right?"

Xu Cang's expression changed slightly after Yu Chen said the word "planetary gear", but the change only lasted for a moment, and was soon suppressed by Xu Cang.

Seeing Xu Cang's reaction, Yu Chen was slightly disappointed: "I think you are getting more and more pleasing to the eye. Unfortunately, you are still so ignorant of current affairs. If you want to use Pratt & Whitney's planetary gear to bypass the technical barriers of low-pressure fans, I just To be able to say that you didn't just blow my mind at flying skills. Still, it strengthened my mind."

"I feel like you're thinking too much." Xu Cang even laughed: "Still, you're too lenient."

Yu Chen raised his eyebrows: "Too lenient? Do you think I can't control Pratt & Whitney, so I'm unscrupulous? That's right, we compete with Pratt & Whitney. The relationship is not bad. I can’t control anything else. It is still possible to prevent Pratt & Whitney from selling planetary gear technology to you. Xu Cang, you never know how small you are. Take it too far."

Xu Cang waved his hand: "Although your name is from our side, why does your behavior sound like a robber?"

Yu Chen laughed: "It seems that you don't know anything. It's okay, after you return to China, you will receive a big gift I prepared for you. By then, you should understand."

After finishing speaking, Yu Chen stood up slowly, and Steve also stood up.

"Casual, I'm treating you today." When passing by Xu Cang, Yu Chen stopped and patted Xu Cang's shoulder: "By the way, next time if you encounter a pitch jam, I think it's better not to hide it." That's good. This is not a small trick, there is too much room for fuss, and you are still too careless."

After finishing speaking, Yu Chen didn't stay any longer, and left the restaurant with Steve.

As the footsteps of the two gradually moved away, only Xu Cang was left in the huge restaurant, which was a bit deserted.Suddenly, there was a chuckle in the silence
"Things seem to be getting interesting!"
