Return to 2000: Captain of the Great Powers

Chapter 340 Instructor Xu Cang!

In the small garden in the square in front of the Nikko Hotel, Xu Cang sat on a stone bench, and beside him, Xia Shuyue stood quietly, with a pair of lively eyes blinking, looking a bit playful.

Xu Cang patted the seat on the stone bench next to him: "Sit, what are you doing standing?"

"I like to stand, you can sit." Xia Shuyue chuckled: "You are not injured, I heard that you did some dangerous things in Europe."

Xu Cang sat up straight a little, smiled wryly and said, "Shouldn't I ask you this?"

"I'm fine. They called me out that night. I didn't like it very much, so I didn't go out afterwards. However, the people at ANA told us to leave, and there were many unfriendly people outside. Scary." Xia Shuyue said seriously.

"That's it?" Xu Cang still didn't quite believe it. With Xia Shuyue's temper, there was a possibility that the seriousness of the matter would be deliberately downplayed: "It's not a big problem."

Xia Shuyue finally stopped standing, but sat beside Xu Cang: "No more, you don't believe me?"

Xu Cang looked at Xia Shuyue's fat-like skin from a close distance, breathed in the fresh fragrance in his nose, and sighed: "Forget it, I believe you."

Xia Shuyue's eyes turned into small crescents, her nose wrinkled: "You still don't believe me."

"I believe it, I believe it." Xu Cang said with a wry smile, "Then clean up and go back with me?"

In any case, the training in Japan is anticlimactic, and there is no need to continue to stay.

"President Hideki Nagano of JAL asked me to ask you, they can replace ANA to complete the follow-up training for relevant qualifications." Xia Shuyue blinked: "Do you need it?"

"Nikko will take over?" Xu Cang was taken aback for a moment.

JAL's strength is naturally extremely strong, and there are all kinds of qualification training. It is naturally easy to take over the training work.It's just that Xu Cang didn't quite understand JAL's intentions, which seemed a little too proactive.

Xia Shuyue nodded: "Yes, that's what President Nagano said, and you won't be troubled by the training fee."

As she spoke, Xia Shuyue raised her hands: "I'm just repeating what he said, without any personal thoughts."

"It's okay." Xu Cang laughed: "I will ask the cabin department. I don't know much about the training of flight attendants. Maybe someone needs to communicate with JAL at that time."

"Then you mean that you tend to finish the rest of the training here?"

"Of course, there will be international routes in the later stage, and people must be needed."

Xia Shuyue was a little surprised: "Our company is going to open an international route?"

"Originally, the Tokyo-Shanghai and Tokyo-Yangcheng lines were to be given to ANA according to the agreement, but the situation is different now, and I don't really want to give it directly to JAL in my heart. I think it's better to run it myself." Xu Xu Cang smiled and said: "What do you think? The situation in Shanghai is easier to solve. Anyway, there are already a few planes at the airport there, but Yangcheng Airport is a little more difficult to deal with. It can't be just for a Tokyo-Yangcheng flight. It is not easy to control the cost by putting a single plane there alone. In the future, we should think about how to expand some routes with Yangcheng as the center, so that the cost performance of the plane in Yangcheng will be higher.”

Xu Cang spent a lot of effort to dredge up the relationship between Shanghai and Yangcheng before, but in the end it was settled, but it was not needed in the end, and he was speechless.However, the Tokyo-Shanghai and Tokyo-Yangcheng routes are still very good.The time is not too long, and the 737 or 320 can be used for operation, and the cost control is more convenient. According to the results of the previous market research, the load factors of the two routes are also quite good, which is a rare high-quality route. .

Since ANA didn't have eyes, Xu Cang could only accept it.

However, Spring Airlines does not have the corresponding qualifications and experience in operating international routes, so Xia Shuyue really did not expect Xu Cang to have ideas about operating routes between China and Japan.

Before, because of the good relationship with Zhou Yanping of Tiandong Airlines, and the mediation of Qin Yi from Chunxia Tourism, the situation in Shanghai was not a major problem.Not only put a few planes at Shanghai Airport, but also opened several domestic routes in Shanghai. Compared with the bitter base airport routes in terms of profitability, it is quite good.

Because of the cooperation between Ma Cheng of Muhua Airlines and Xu Cang in Yangcheng, it should not be a problem to fly the plane at Yangcheng Airport, but to develop the Yangcheng route, you can only find a way by yourself.

After all, the cooperation with Ma Cheng is still biased towards a pure interest relationship, so just stop at it.

Part of the route problem in Shanghai was solved by Qin Yi. In any case, the headquarters of Chunxia Airway is in Shanghai, and Qin Yi's main contacts are also in Shanghai, so he is more comfortable.But in Yangcheng, Xu Cang really didn't have any more important friends.

Yangcheng has little advantage over Hanking and Shanghai on international routes, but not necessarily on domestic routes.After all, there are two first-tier cities there, which have undertaken a large number of domestic population flows, and have always performed relatively well in the domestic market.

For example, the Hanjing-Yangcheng route given to Xu Cang by the Bureau before is a golden route. If Yangcheng flies to a first-class city, it is basically more profitable. This route is not very profitable, so Lu Jinghua used it as a bet before.

Moreover, those with rich connections like Shi Lingling are also concentrated in Hanjing and Shanghai. It seems that Shi Lingling was the first to break the situation in Shanghai before, but they are a little weaker in the south.

When I return to China later, I have to discuss it with Shi Lingling more.

To be honest, although Xu Cang is very powerful now, Xu Cang and Chunxia Airlines are also one in a sense, but they are not completely equal after all.Therefore, when it comes to company affairs, some things still feel powerless. Basically, Xu Cang is dragging Chunxia Airlines along alone, but Xu Cang is only one person, so it is impossible to cover everything.

However, since Rolls-Royce will cooperate to build an engine maintenance factory in China, all domestic airlines using Rolls-Royce engines will basically ask Xu Cang. At the airline level, the resistance encountered should not be too great.

The next thing to worry about should be the opinion of the relevant regional administration.

Among several regional bureaus, the one in the south is more complicated, so Xu Cang has to think hard about how to convince the bureau in the south.

Basically, in order to facilitate a route, the airline, the airport and the Civil Aviation Administration must all be resolved.

"Flying planes in Yangcheng?" Xia Shuyue asked strangely, "Do we have enough planes? It doesn't feel like enough."

This is related to the company's operating strategy. When ordinary people ask Xu Cang, Xu Cang may not answer.However, if Xia Shuyue asked, Xu Cang would still be happy to tell her.

"Originally, I planned to transfer planes from Kingfisher Airlines, but now the European market is overheated, and Kingfisher Airlines doesn't have enough planes, so I guess it won't be able to transfer. In addition, I will wait for the Xianchi branch of Muhua Airlines. Formally included in our company sequence, we can adjust the capacity internally. The aircraft fleet of the Xianchi branch is still quite strong.”

That's right, Xu Cang has already pinned his hopes on the Xianchi branch after Kingfisher Airlines lost hope.As Xu Cang said, Kingfisher Airlines is expected to turn losses into profits in the first month after the release of the Euro. This kind of profitability is much stronger than that of Spring and Summer Airlines. It is more cost-effective to leave the aircraft to Kingfisher Airlines. .

It is even said that even though Kingfisher Airlines said that it can complete the purchase of new aircraft through financing itself, Xu Cang may need to provide additional financial support to Kingfisher Airlines at certain necessary moments.

There is no way, the European market is too hot now, and it is easy to raise funds, but too much financing will easily dilute his control over Kingfisher Airlines. When necessary, Xu Cang will allocate funds to Kingfisher Airlines.

It is also because of the overheating of the European market that the leasing and sales market of international large passenger aircraft has been extremely hot recently. Even if you want to rent an aircraft with money, you have to queue up to buy an aircraft.

If Xu Cang wants to complete the upgrade of the Spring and Summer Airlines headquarters fleet in a short period of time and control the cost as much as possible, he can only make internal adjustments after completing the collection of Muhua Aviation Xianchi Branch.

Muhua Airlines Xianchi branch has a very deep foundation, coupled with the development since then is very good, the quality of the fleet is very high.For the Xianchi branch, which mainly faces the northwest, the current fleet size is even a bit too large, and the allocation of some aircraft will not have any impact on the Xianchi branch.

It's just that the boss of the Xianchi branch is also very tempered. Although he has a reminder from Mr. Bi, it's really hard to settle it.

"Then do you want to buy a wide-body machine?"

Xu Cang shook his head: "No way, it's too early for a wide-body machine, and I haven't decided which wide-body machine to buy yet."

"Aren't the Airbus 330s pretty good?"

"I don't like that plane."

Xia Shuyue was a little puzzled: "Why, there is something wrong with the plane?"

"Not really." Xu Cang said with a smile: "I just think the 330 is not good-looking. I prefer the Boeing 777, but the Boeing 777 is too expensive to afford."

"You won't buy a 747, will you?"

Xu Cang scratched his head: "I don't know, the 747 is too big, and the operating environment is limited, just wait and see. The reason why I chose to start with the routes of China, Japan and South Korea is that the routes of these three countries can use 737 series aircraft. It works, but there is no need to buy additional wide-body machines.”

At the end, Xu Cang still couldn't help asking about Xia Shuyue's plans for the future: "I think Guan Yueling has mentioned it to you before, but I was inclined to keep you at ANA's aviation school to learn to fly." , there is experience specifically for female pilots, which is much more convenient during learning to fly. Now the situation is more complicated.”

"You don't need to find an aviation school for female pilots, I don't care." Xia Shuyue said: "I can go to a domestic aviation school."

However, Xu Cang rejected Xia Shuyue's proposal: "No, there is no experience in teaching female pilots in China?"

At this time, Xu Cang's performance and remarks were actually quite subtle, and Xia Shuyue noticed it even more. She didn't dare to look at Xu Cang anymore, but pursed her lips: "Then what should I do?"

Xu Cang frowned: "It's a bit difficult."

"Xu Cang!" Xia Shuyue suddenly called Xu Cang's name.

Xu Cang was startled: "What's wrong?"

"How about you teach me?" Xia Shuyue chuckled lightly: "If you teach me, will there be no problem?"

Xu Cang was stunned by this proposal.

"Shall I teach you?" Xu Cang didn't give an answer immediately, but bowed his head in thought for a moment.

Xia Shuyue tilted her head and approached Xu Cang: "Is it not possible?"

"It's not impossible, but I want to test for an instructor's license." At this time, Xu Cang had already begun to have some plans in his mind, and he continued: "I have a private business certificate, and I will take an additional instructor's license It's not difficult."

This is not because Xu Cang is optimistic, but it is indeed relatively common.For example, aviation schools often choose some outstanding graduates to stay in the school as instructors. This is a very common behavior and it is not difficult.

Xu Cang has a complete private business certificate, or in other words, all 121 commercial operation co-pilots have it. It is really not troublesome to get an instructor's license, but if you want to do it as soon as possible, it will be quite tiring.

Xu Cang raised his hand habitually and pinched Xia Shuyue's snow-white neck. Xia Shuyue did not resist like a kitten, and shrank her neck a little, looking very cute.

"I'll make a call." Xu Cang took out his mobile phone, searched in the address book for a while, found the number of the big brother Zhu Ming, and called it quickly.

Not long after, the phone was connected, and the voice of Zhu Ming, the flight captain of Phoenix Aviation School, came from the opposite side: "Why did you call me suddenly? Our boss has no plans to lower the price."

When Xu Cang chatted with Zhu Ming before, he mentioned the matter of buying the Phoenix Aviation School.However, domestic pilot students are scarce now, and those who do aviation schools are earning a lot of money, and the bureau is restricting the issuance of aviation school licenses. The price is outrageous, saying that we still have to wait until the market cools down.

"Brother, I'm not talking about buying the aviation school, but I'm asking you about some things."

"Say it, what's the matter?"

Xu Cang organized his language a little bit: "I want to get an instructor's certificate from the aviation school. Your aviation school can provide related services."

Zhu Ming reckoned that he was sleeping just now, and his mind was not so clear. After a while of reaction, he asked uncertainly, "Do you want to go back to Unit 141?"

Different from Part 121, Part 141 is mainly for aircraft pilot training schools, namely aviation schools.

"No, I just have something to get an instructor certificate, is it troublesome?"

Zhu Ming's voice was completely clear: "No, everyone else wants to switch from 141 to 121, how can 121 be transferred back to 141? You want to take the instructor's certificate, what are you doing with that thing, can't you come back and teach the teachers?"

"Yes!" Xu Cang replied very naturally: "I want to teach the students."

"You're out of your fucking mind, right?" Zhu Ming was stunned: "No, Xu Cang, what the hell are you trying to do? Teacher, what are you kidding?"

"Eldest brother, I want to teach the students, but I only teach one alone, so I need to take an instructor certificate. Later, I may need to borrow the venue and aircraft of your aviation school."

Zhu Ming was obviously stunned for a long time: "You want to teach one alone? Let others teach it. There are so many instructors in the aviation school."

"No! I will teach myself." Xu Cang said firmly.

"Xu Cang." Zhu Ming also became smart, and quickly realized Xu Cang's strangeness: "Could it be that the people you want to teach are younger siblings?"

"Eldest brother, just say it's okay."

Seeing that Xu Cang was a little out of breath, Zhu Ming laughed loudly: "Understood, I understand! Our little junior brother is quite enlightened, and we specially took part 141 instructor certificate in order to pick up girls. Speaking of which, you are also unprecedented, and I am convinced of you. "

Xu Cang snorted heavily: "Zhu Ming!"

Xu Cang called his name directly, Zhu Ming knew that if he continued to tease him, Xu Cang was afraid that he would become angry from embarrassment, so he hurriedly said: "Okay, okay, okay, okay, senior brother will take care of the matter for you, hahaha .”

Hearing this, Xu Cang didn't stop for a moment, and hung up the phone directly.

Xia Shuyue looked at Xu Cang curiously: "What's the matter, is there any problem?"

"It's okay, my elder brother doesn't keep his mouth shut." Xu Cang put his phone back in his pocket: "There should be nothing wrong with it. Afterwards, you will have a physical examination first, get your pilot certificate, and then learn the theory. Let's come together."

If you want to become a pilot student, you first need to undergo a recruitment medical examination. Xu Cang also needs to ask his master Chen Xiangdong for internal information to see which area will be recruiting recently.Only after passing the recruitment medical examination can one obtain a pilot certificate and start learning later.

Xia Shuyue nodded heavily: "Well, yes!"

Xu Cang withdrew his left hand that was pinching Xia Shuyue's neck: "You seem to have lost some weight."

"En." Xia Shuyue replied lightly like a gnat: "I haven't had a good appetite recently."

"You are too worried." Xu Cang tapped Xia Shuyue's forehead lightly: "You are not very old, what are you thinking about all day long?"

With that said, Xu Cang stood up: "Where's Hideki Nagano?"

"President Nagano just went out on an urgent matter and said he would not be back until tomorrow."

Xu Cang hummed: "Then let's stay here for one night today. I'm a little tired from traveling and traveling recently. Let's find him tomorrow."

As he said that, Xu Cang waved his hand: "Walk with me for a while."

In the office of the deputy director of Hanjing Civil Aviation Administration, Chen Xiangdong looked at a document on the desk, his face was solemn, his right hand was clenched into a fist, and his lips were tightly pursed, looking very serious.

Suddenly, the office door was pushed open, and Wu Yue, the director of the flying bid, stepped out, holding a piece of paper in his hand.

"Have you figured out how to receive the inspection team from the International Civil Aviation Organization?" Wu Yue didn't look too relaxed: "This time is a critical moment for our CAAC to be promoted to a category of directors, but nothing can go wrong."

Chen Xiangdong pushed aside the documents on the desk, and put his right hand on his forehead: "I know, I have a headache."

"This time you are in charge of receiving the inspection team from the International Civil Aviation Organization. You have to take care of it. If you do well, it's a merit. If you don't do well, you will come later. Anyway, you have to be 1 careful." Wu Yue casually searched He sat down in a chair and glanced at the documents on Chen Xiangdong's desk. It was the personnel information of the ICAO inspection this time.

Seeing the list of personnel, Wu Yue raised his eyebrows: "What a strong lineup, the chief teachers of EASA and FAA are here!"

"It's really convincing. It's just a routine inspection, with such a high level of staff." Chen Xiangdong also has a big head, and he has never seen an inspection team of this level. It is indeed a big deal.

Wu Yue said with a smile: "If you just go through the motions like before, then it's considered beautiful, and that's nothing. It's such a high level, it's very important to you to get this done."

"But I heard that the chief engineers of EASA and FAA are people who only care about technology, and their hands are very hard. If these two people want to compete with each other, we don't know if we can catch it here." Chen Xiangdong was worried. stand up.

In the final analysis, the only criterion for judging a pilot is the skill of the hand. If the skill of the hand is strong, the skill of speaking must also be three points.

One of the chief engineers of EASA and FAA used to be the chief flight test chief of Airbus, and the other was the chief flight test chief of Boeing.

For this reason, Chen Xiangdong was a little worried to be honest.

If the two of them proposed some technical discussions, and CAAC didn't follow up, it would be a shame in face.

"This time is a critical moment for us to be promoted to a class of directors. They probably came prepared, and I'm afraid they are not good at it." Hearing what Chen Xiangdong said, Wu Yue also became worried: "If we lose the upper hand in the technical competition, it is It's not easy."

Chen Xiangdong's face was extremely gloomy: "That's the chief teacher of EASA and FAA."

EASA and FAA are the regions with the highest level of aviation in the world. How high are the chief engineers in these two places?
It's not that Chen Xiangdong grows others' aspirations and destroys his own prestige, but it's a real fact.Now the slightly older pilots are all trained in Europe and the United States. When it comes to flying, they are apprentices on their side.Now that the master is coming to test the strength of the apprentice, why is Chen Xiangdong not worried.

"Anyway, there is no room for loss this time." Wu Yue licked his lower lip: "Old Chen, why don't you let Xu Cang come over?"
