Return to 2000: Captain of the Great Powers

An extremely violent debate is erupting in a conference room of the ANA headquarters building in Tokyo, Japan, including the voice of the president Guan Yueling.

"Who is it that ordered the door to close?" Guan Yueling's voice was full of coldness, like the cold wind in the depths of winter.

In the conference room, Guan Yueling looked at ANA's independent director Nozomi Sato and executive director Kamikawa Rinkazu.

Sato Wang is older, even though Guan Yueling's tone is fierce, he still doesn't care much, he just said with a smile: "Ling, it's just some trivial matters, there's no need to call the two of us here."

The executive director, Shang Chuan Linhe, is in his 40s, with upturned eyebrows. He looks fierce and aggressive, and he doesn't give in to Guan Yueling: "It's my decision, why? President Guan Yue plans to punish me No?"

Guan Yueling's pretty face flushed slightly with anger, and her plump chest was heaving up and down, and she looked extremely angry: "You didn't tell me about such an important matter before you made a decision on your own?"

In fact, Guan Yueling just came back to the headquarters of ANA just now. He went on a business trip after meeting Xia Shuyue, but there was a problem on the first day of the business trip, so he had to put down his work in a hurry and rush back non-stop.

During the short time when Guan Yueling went out, the flight attendants of Spring and Summer Airlines went out to play in the city at night, but somehow they were recognized by some Japanese locals.During this period of time, because of Xu Cang, the reputation of Spring and Summer Airlines in Japan was not good.

Xu Cang was described as a "butcher", "devil" and "cold-blooded" by the media in Japan, and Spring and Summer Airlines, which is strongly bound to Xu Cang, naturally did not gain a good reputation.

Now, after being recognized, the flight attendants of Spring and Summer Airlines were publicly questioned, accused, abused, and some even threw objects at them.Seeing this, the flight attendants of Spring Airlines endured the slander of passers-by after realizing the danger, and ran all the way to the sky.

Since no taxis were willing to pick them up on the way back, they walked back for more than 40 minutes.

During this period, there were always crowds around them, verbally insulting them, accompanied by violent acts of throwing objects.

Originally, the flight attendants of Spring and Summer Airlines thought that they could get away when they returned to ANA, but when they got to the gate of ANA, they were told that they were not allowed to enter. Soon after, the staff of ANA packed their luggage and threw it at the door without authorization, while some other trainees He was also told that the training agreement between the two parties was terminated, and he was forcibly driven away in the middle of the night.

A group of [-] or [-] people were kicked out of ANA's dormitory. They stood at the gate and were teased by passers-by for a long time. Finally, they were taken away by JAL staff.

When Guan Yueling heard the news during a business trip, she almost fainted on the spot.

Since ANA has signed an agreement with Xu Cang, it is naturally obliged to protect their personal safety.Although no serious violence occurred during the whole process, it will cause great psychological trauma to those trainees. At this time, ANA should assume its own protection responsibility.

As a result, Shang Chuan Lin He privately issued an order not only not to allow people to come in, but also to drive out the rest of the people, which really made Guan Yue Ling feel unbelievable.

"Is it very important?" Shangchuan Linhe didn't seem to care very much: "It's just a small training agreement that was terminated. Do you have to ask the president for instructions on everything in the future? Moreover, the president was not there at that time Headquarters, I'm just in a hurry."

Guan Yueling was furious when she saw Shangchuan Linhe's appearance. These old guys were as stupid as pigs, and they took advantage of the east wind of the times to climb up to their current position. They really thought how powerful they were.

There is not much ability, but the attitude is high.

"I don't care about Spring Airlines, I care about Xu Cang. I signed this agreement with Xu Cang, Director Shangchuan, don't you understand?" Guan Yueling said angrily.

"President, there's no need to be so urgent. It's just that the flight attendants got angry." Linhe Shangchuan didn't seem to realize the seriousness of the problem: "Since there is an agreement, let's go according to the agreement. Compensate as much as you want. Anyway, the agreement is terminated."

"You don't know that one of those flight attendants belongs to Xu Cang." At the end of Guan Yueling's speech, her expression suddenly froze, as if she had thought of something, she stared at Shangchuan Linhe: "Did you do it on purpose?"

Sato, who hadn't spoken much at the side, interjected with a smile: "Ling, director Shangchuan is also doing it for ANA. When you are interrupted, you are troubled by it. Director Shangchuan just made the decision for you."

Guan Yueling's face was livid. Before the business trip, her secretary told her that the board of directors was becoming more and more dissatisfied with her cooperation with Xu Cang. The reason was of course Xu Cang's remarks.However, Guan Yueling didn't really want to terminate the cooperation with Xu Cang, at least not in the short term, so he kept procrastinating.

Now it seems that the board of directors has become impatient with Guan Yueling and decided to do it themselves.

It's not that Shangchuan Linhe doesn't understand the stakes, but has planned for a long time, taking advantage of this matter to implement the will of the board of directors, and forcibly cut off with Xu Cang.

It can only be said that the time and entry point were found so well that there was no possibility of any reversal of the relationship with Xu Cang.

I still underestimated these old guys, and after living for so many years, I still have a few brushes.

"Besides, we have reminded them not to go out casually in the near future, so they are not responsible for the current situation?" Shang Chuan Linhe hummed. Under such circumstances, he could find some reasons to refute.

However, this is not because Shang Chuanlinhe made unreasonable words. Before that, All Nippon Airways had indeed privately told the team leader of the trainees of Spring and Summer Airlines not to go out at will in the near future.

"This is not a military camp, it's just a suggestion, not a ban. This is the first time they have gone out since they were trained, is it considered to go out at will?" Guan Yueling snorted coldly: "I advise you not to talk to Spring and Summer Airlines about such words. people said."

"Hahaha, why should I explain to the Spring and Summer Airlines people, who do they think they are?" Shangchuan Linhe laughed unceasingly: "A small company that is not well-known has produced a good young man, and he really thinks he has a lot of money." What is the weight? Explain, what to explain? We at ANA will pay compensation according to the terms of the breach of contract, so there is nothing to explain."

Shang Chuanlinhe looked like a dead pig who was not afraid of boiling water, and felt from the bottom of his heart that as long as he complied with the breach of contract and completed the compensation, he would have no responsibility at all.

"Do you think money is the problem?"

"Isn't it?" Shangchuan Linhe asked back.

"People, talent is the problem!" Guan Yueling was about to curse, "There is one person who is very important to Xu Cang, so you are not afraid of Xu Cang's revenge?"

Hearing this, Kamikawa Linhe and Sato Nozomi all laughed, and Sato Nozomi sat down indifferently: "Ling, you are too cautious. I admit that the young man named Xu Cang is very good as a pilot." Yes, but do pilots matter? We have more than 100 pilots at ANA, and I don’t know what weight this thousands of replaceable roles have, and what kind of revenge he will have on us.”

"I'm also curious, let him take revenge, I'm looking forward to it." Shang Chuan Lin He's smile was not as presumptuous as Sato Wang, but it was gloomy, and his expression was full of disdain.

This is how Guan Yueling's anger was forced out little by little. These two people didn't take Xu Cang seriously at all, just like the board members.

"You underestimate Xu Cang too much. These are all your fantasies. You don't understand what kind of person he is and how much potential he has!"

Sato Wang waved his hand: "Ling, don't talk about it anymore. The matter is already like this, and it is useless to talk about it. Moreover, this is what the board of directors meant. It is not a solution for you to keep delaying things. You have not been in office for long and your foundation is weak. Don't get too directly in conflict with the board."

Saying that, Nozomi Sato also pointed at Linhe Shangchuan: "We know that you can't save face, and Director Shangchuan acted as a villain for you once. Not only should you not blame Director Shangchuan, but you should also thank him very much."

Hearing such incredible words, Guan Yueling was stunned.

On the contrary, Kamikawa Linhe laughed: "It's okay, it's normal for President Guanyue to make some misjudgments. Didn't the Nagano president of Nikko take the initiative to get involved? They shouldn't have anything to do with this matter, but he Participated, and the reason is also that Xu Cang?"

"Although Hideki Nagano is annoying, he still has some skills. I didn't expect that you two young people rarely have the same opinion on Xu Cang's matter." Sato looked at the soft back of the sofa Yi Zhu: "So you are still too young, you still need to exercise more, and the future cannot be fully entrusted to you."

Originally, Guan Yueling came over to question Kamikawa Linhe's unauthorized order, but after chatting, Shangchuan Linhe not only did not admit his mistake at all, but instead found excuses to prevaricate, and Sato Nozomi even turned the offensive, and even brought Nikko Hideki Nagano gave a lecture together.

"If it wasn't for President Nagano this time, the matter would only be more difficult to end." Guan Yueling was still insisting on his own ideas.

Sato Wang sighed: "Ling, you are still so stubborn."

"Mr. Sato, now Xu Cang is indeed criticized, but he has agreed to participate in the public hearing, why can't we stand up again, what if the offense and defense change after the hearing?" Guanyue Ling said anxiously: " Is it too hasty to be so eager to cut off with Xu Cang now?"

"Our cooperation with Xu Cang is not known to many people yet, but what if it is exposed for too long? I have said that it should be interrupted, and it will be messed up. At this time, it is time to cut the mess quickly and cut it in time. Wang Sato sneered and said: "Change of offense and defense? Just rely on a hearing, just rely on a mouth? The people have always been strict with others and lenient with themselves. Others set extremely high moral standards. Their thinking is superficial, relying only on intuition. Even if Xu Cang can give a set of logical arguments at the hearing, in the eyes of the people who are unwilling to think, this It's just Xu Cang's word game."

Shangchuan Linhe said with a smile: "Xu Cang's ending is already doomed. Although I don't know why he still decided to attend the hearing under such obvious circumstances? Or is he still unsure about certain situations? Actual fantasy?"

Even though he could understand what the two said, Guan Yueling still found it harsh: "Could it be that Xu Cang has no chance of making a comeback?"

"Yes!" Shangchuan Linhe raised a finger: "Xu Cang's logic for not opening the door is nothing more than worrying that the hijackers will cause greater harm after entering the cockpit. However, there has been no example to support this kind of thing before. The laziness of the people’s thinking is actually not very convincing. However, if there is another hijacking case that perfectly fits Xu Cang’s theory, everything will be different. Examples will always have a hundred times more impact than words.”

Sato Wang smiled and said: "However, hijacking cases in the history of civil aviation are rare, and none of them meet Xu Cang's preset situation. Therefore, Xu Cang still has no possibility of turning the tables."

Shang Chuan Linhe shrugged: "Speaking of this, the president, don't you understand? Or, the president, you don't want to believe it. Or, the president, you also have some unrealistic fantasies about Xu Cang."

Seeing who Yueling is, Shangchuan Linhe doesn't think she can't understand these joints.But the reality is that Guan Yueling has been procrastinating, probably because he has other plans.

"I reached a private cooperation with Xu Cang before." Guan Yueling said suddenly.

Shang Chuan Linhe clapped his hands, looked at Sato Wang with a smile, and said, "Mr. Sato, I'll just say it."

Sato Wang didn't pick up Chuan Linhe's words, but frowned: "Ling, what did you say to Xu Cang?"

Guanyue Ling closed his eyes slightly: "Xu Cang said that he can persuade American Airlines to change the partner of Japan-US routes from Japan Airlines to us."

"What!?" Nozomi Sato stood up immediately: "He really said that?"

At this time, Rinkazu Kamikawa's expression turned ugly. The Japan-US flight is of great significance to ANA, so don't really have any problems, right?

"Otherwise, why have I been procrastinating?" Guan Yueling said coldly: "We have been unable to open up the situation in the international market for a long time, and the news from the representatives who have contacted with American Airlines recently is not very optimistic. Send it to Xu Cang."

Shang Chuanlinhe's expression was a bit exciting: "Impossible, how can Xu Cang persuade American Airlines? What is his connection with American Airlines?"

"No! He said it himself." Guan Yueling recalled Xu Cang's words for a while: "However, he said that he can pass the Pratt & Whitney line."

"Pratt & Whitney?" Nozomi Sato didn't understand: "Pratt & Whitney is related to American Airlines."

"To be precise, it is the parent company of the two companies, that is, United Technologies, the parent company of Pratt & Whitney, and AMR Group, the parent company of American Airlines. In fact, it is not the two, but the other two sub-sectors of the two companies. Cooperation." Guan Yueling then talked about the cooperation between the United Technologies Corporation's avionics system department and the World Expo Group under the AMR Group: "I checked, and what Xu Cang said is basically credible."

Linhe Shangchuan exclaimed: "Pratt & Whitney and American Airlines are two completely unrelated companies. He can find out the connection. This person has a strong sense of business."

"I felt the same way at the time. I never thought of convincing American Airlines to take the Pratt & Whitney route." Guan Yueling sighed.

At this time, Nozomi Sato asked a question: "After all, did he talk about how to persuade Pratt & Whitney?"

"This...he didn't elaborate on it at the time."

"Hahaha!" Shangchuan Linhe was stunned: "It turned out that he was talking nonsense, I really thought he had some clever tricks! American Airlines couldn't convince him, and he went around a lot to find Pratt & Whitney, but he couldn't give a credible one. The plan, what is the point of this, it is not superfluous."

However, Nozomi Sato was not as contemptuous as Kamikawa Rinkazu showed, but asked: "Then after that, has he mentioned this?"

Guan Yueling shook her head: "No!"

Sato Wang sighed: "Ling, you still trust people too easily."

"President, you are really hesitant in this matter. Now that the public opinion is raging, if you don't handle it well, you will be angry. What is there to worry about breaking up with Xu Cang as soon as possible? He can convince Puhui, really treat him It’s the same as his flying skills?” Shangchuan Linhe said indifferently: “President, the board of directors is very dissatisfied with you this time, maybe you need to take some time to explain to the board of directors.”

Guan Yueling's face darkened all of a sudden: "Director Shangchuan, do you want to make use of it?"

Hearing Chuan Linhe's tone, it is estimated that he will use this to hit Guan Yueling's impression points on the board of directors.

"Is there?" Shangchuan Linhe laughed and said: "I am just stating the facts. As the leader of ANA, I am so credulous to others, that is, I acted quickly this time, otherwise something really happened, what should you do?" end?"

"You!" Guan Yueling was just about to refute, when suddenly the phone in her bag rang, she didn't pick up Chuan Linhe's words, but took out the phone, it was her secretary calling.After hesitating for a while, Guan Yueling connected the phone: "What's going on?"

The secretary's ecstatic voice came from the other end of the phone: "President, there is news from the United States that American Airlines is willing to conduct substantive negotiations with us on the Japan-US route."

Guan Yueling took a breath: "Confirm?"

"It's confirmed. I called again just now to confirm. Our representative said it himself." The secretary said happily, "But it's strange that the people from American Airlines didn't even want to meet our representative, and their attitude changed all of a sudden. "

A gleam of light flashed in Guan Yueling's eyes, and there was already a calculation in his heart: "It doesn't matter, if they are willing to talk, then hurry up and push forward. If there is any news, please let me know as soon as possible."

"Got it, I'll keep an eye on it."

After hanging up the phone, the shock on Guan Yueling's face hadn't completely disappeared, Sato Nozomi, Kamikawa Lin and Kan Yueling looked a little puzzled.

"What's the matter, is there something?" Sato asked.

Guan Yueling put down the phone: "Just now our representative in the United States sent the latest news that American Airlines is willing to advance negotiations on the cooperation of Japan-US routes, which is substantive."

"What did you say?" Shangchuan Linhe's face changed wildly, and his voice suddenly rose, so sharp that it almost pierced the eardrum.

Just a minute or two ago, he had sworn that Xu Cang was talking nonsense, but he didn't expect the slap in the face to come so quickly.

However, this is not the most important thing, Nozomi Sato reacted the fastest.They don't think they're attractive enough to make American Airlines do a 180-degree turn.

That's the only possibility.
"Hurry up, hurry up, contact Hideki Nagano." Nozomi Sato was so anxious that his head was sweating.

By this time, Guan Yueling calmed down: "Mr. Sato, you are going to regret it."

"Repent, repent, Ling, you are right!" In this situation, Nozomi Sato had to accept this reality.

Guan Yueling snorted coldly, but didn't say anything, but silently picked up the phone and planned to call Xu Cang.

However, before Guan Yueling dialed the number, there was a shout outside the meeting room.

"Want to repent?"

Bang!
The door of the conference room was kicked open roughly, making a loud noise, and Xu Cang's figure stood at the door: "It's late!"
