Return to 2000: Captain of the Great Powers

At the exit of the VIP channel of Shanghai Airport, Xu Cang took a plane of Tiandong Airlines from Tokyo Haneda Airport back to China. Naturally, he sat in the first class cabin, and exited through a separate VIP channel.

Xia Shuyue came back with Xu Cang, but after the two passed through the passage, Xu Cang first saw Lin Ming and Chen Jinwu, the bosses of AVIC, who were picking up the plane.

Before setting off, Xu Cang talked with these two on the phone, and was not surprised by their appearance.

"You go to the side and wait for me." Xu Cang gave Xia Shuyue the suitcase and asked her to avoid it for a while.

Xia Shuyue nodded obediently, and walked away with Xu Cang's luggage for a certain distance.

Compared with the ordinary arrival gate, there are much fewer people in the VIP passage, and they are sparsely populated, so there is no need to find another place to talk.

"You returned much earlier than I expected." Lin Ming greeted him with a smile: "The time is too urgent, and we can't make it in time for the welcome banquet."

"Winning banquet?" Xu Cang laughed: "It's not a big deal, what kind of banquet is it, just eat and drink casually, it's more practical to do business first."

Chen Jinwu also walked up to him at this time, quite concerned: "Xu Cang, everything is normal in Europe."

Xu Cang looked around: "Old Chen, something unexpected happened, maybe the follow-up decision will have to be changed."

Chen Jinwu was taken aback: "What's wrong?"

Xu Cang put one hand on the railing: "Bombardier doesn't know good from bad, this time we have to make an example, otherwise these people really think that I, Xu Cang, can be fooled casually?"

Lin Ming's expression turned serious, and he became serious: "Has Bombardier repented?"

"He wants to replace my acquisition of shares in their C-series aircraft company by increasing my profit share in the CS300 aircraft." Xu Cang snorted: "Maybe they feel that the C-series aircraft has dawned and has a bright future. I don’t want to hand over the C-series company. However, no matter how I think about it, Bombardier’s C-series company must go bankrupt, and I want others to see who I am, Xu Cang, and how much weight I have.”

"Bankruptcy?" Lin Ming thought for a while, and thought of a not-so-good possibility: "I support retaliation against Bombardier. When it's time to hit, you must hit hard. But I think there is one that is less capable. The possibility of acceptance is that Airbus fears and covets Bombardier's C-series aircraft company. If Bombardier is suppressed too hard and Airbus takes the opportunity to acquire it, it will not be a fight between snipes and clams for the fisherman's benefit?"

"Don't worry, Airbus can't buy Bombardier." Xu Cang sneered.

Just like suppressing Asiana Airlines and at the same time preparing to prevent Korean Air from acquiring Asiana Airlines, Xu Cang has always been exhaustive. How could it be possible for Airbus to take advantage of it?
"No matter what you say now, let's crush Bombardier to death first." Xu Cang said with a cold expression, "Mr. Lin, I have revealed some ideas to you before, do you think it is feasible?"

Lin Ming and Chen Jinwu looked at each other, there was no relaxed expression on their faces, it could be seen that this decision was extremely difficult for them.

"Xu Cang, just yesterday, Embraer contacted us. Soon, they will send representatives over. If there is no accident, we will get an order for the airframe from Embraer." Lin Ming looked at Xu Cang gratefully. Cang: "You brought all of this."

Xu Cun Europe dropped the CS450 at close to 300 knots. It can be seen that the strength of the CS300 aircraft fuselage is absolutely sufficient and has been tested in actual extreme conditions, which is more effective than any advertisement.

What's more, the price of AVIC is fair, and it is normal for some smaller aircraft manufacturers to be excited.

However, Embraer is not considered a small aircraft manufacturer anymore. In the field of regional aircraft, Embraer and Bombardier are peerless twins, and they still have a lot of weight.

Chen Jinwu took over the conversation: "You asked us to suspend our cooperation with Bombardier. To be honest, we were hesitant at first. After all, this is a case of exporting large aircraft components that we have promoted for many years. However, in Embraer After we came to the door, Lin Ming and I felt that the present is indeed not the past, we are no longer the era of only obediently learning technology from them, it is time to take the initiative."

Lin Ming's eyes were slightly cold: "Xu Cang, you risked your life to win us a glimmer of hope, so we will accompany you this time. Our latest cooperation with Bombardier will end in five days, after which we will withdraw all If personnel are stationed, the cooperation between the two parties will be terminated.”

"Mr. Lin, don't worry, we will soon acquire the entire Bombardier C-series aircraft company." Xu Cang assured.

"I believe you, you will never break your promise." Lin Ming finally showed a smile: "Bombardier has a lot of research and development funds for the C series aircraft, which is provided by us, and we provide them with cheap fuselage components , if we withdraw, Bombardier will definitely feel bad."

Xu Cang tapped his knuckles on the metal railing: "But it's not enough!"

Lin Ming's expression was a bit dignified: "Have you prepared other means?"

"Bombardier is not a stall on the street, you can kill it casually. My principle has always been to stay still, and if you move, you will be aggressive. In a quarter at most, I will let Bombardier divest the C-series aircraft business."

It was rare for Chen Jinwu to see Xu Cang so angry. It seemed that Bombardier's dishonesty really annoyed Xu Cang.

"Xu Cang, does Bombardier's repentance affect you a lot?" Chen Jinwu asked concerned.

Seeing that Xu Cang was about to hit hard, Chen Jinwu was worried that Bombardier would repent and disrupt Xu Cang's plan.

"It has some influence, but it's also a good thing. I used to think about getting Bombardier in a peaceful way, but now I just smashed it, and I can snatch it back at no cost." Xu Cang sneered.

Originally Xu Cang wanted to buy it, but Bombardier repented and did not sell it.Now Xu Cang is planning to use robbing, and he began to think that robbing is also good, and it costs money to buy it, but robbing doesn't cost money.

The corner of Chen Jinwu's mouth twitched, thinking that Xu Cang was so mad that he even said that buying is worse than grabbing.

"Do you need our help?" Lin Ming asked.

"No need! Too many people want Bombardier to die, I just need to push it." Xu Cang said: "You just need to maintain an attitude of not cooperating with Bombardier. Now CS300 does have an upward momentum, and it seems that Bombardier is going to turn around Yes, but in fact this is the way to bring disaster.”

Lin Ming was puzzled: "What do you mean by the way of taking disaster?"

"It turns out that Airbus is the most direct enemy of Bombardier, and Boeing is not involved, but now, even Boeing can't sit still." Xu Cang said, his eyes moved to the distance, and there was a man standing at the exit of the arrival floor , it is Huang Jing, the head of Boeing Asia Pacific.

Huang Jing noticed that Xu Cang was looking at him, and bowed slightly to say hello.

Xu Cang nodded towards him, which was regarded as a greeting.

Seeing Xu Cang's movements, Lin Ming turned his head to look at the door, and also saw Huang Jing: "People from Boeing?"

"It seems that CS300 still messed with Boeing." Xu Cang was not surprised: "I'll go talk to him."

Lin Ming didn't ask any more questions: "Then we're going back too. We came here this time to express our opinion to you. We will always stand with you on the issue of Bombardier."

This attitude is very important to Xu Cang. If AVIC cannot decouple from Bombardier, it will take a little more effort to crush Bombardier cleanly. Now it will be much easier.

"Thank you, President Lin, for your support."

"It's nothing, we have to thank you." Lin Ming greeted Chen Jinwu and planned to leave, but when he turned around, he suddenly thought of something, and asked Xu Cang: "The aviation material company we cooperate with seems to have some minor problems. , did you mortgage the genuine license of Boeing?"

Xu Cang mortgaged the genuine authorization of Boeing aviation materials to Luo Tianrong in exchange for a large amount of money.

Originally, Xu Cang and AVIC wanted to establish an aviation material company based on this, but now the aircraft material authorization is gone.The cornerstone on which the aviation material company was founded disappeared.To be honest, even if the target is Xu Cang, this kind of behavior is obviously a violation of the cooperation agreement, and AVIC is not a good person, so it is quite rare to be able to talk to Xu Cang in such a friendly manner.

Xu Cang knew that he was at fault in this matter, and seeing that Lin Ming didn't seem to pursue it too much, he felt a little ashamed.

"I'm not holding you accountable either. After all, we invested money in it. I'm not the only one who has the final say on the size of AVIC. I need a suitable reason to explain to the people below."

Lin Ming was already very euphemistic when he said that, and Xu Cang hummed: "The genuine authorization of Boeing aviation materials is for circulation, and we will eventually take it back to our hands. However, I have obtained the distribution agent of Rolls-Royce Engines in the Asia-Pacific region." It is also possible to replace the genuine authorization of Boeing aviation materials with this, and Rolls-Royce also signed an agreement with me to establish an engine repair factory in China, and I will incorporate this into the same module business as the aircraft materials company.”

"I heard that you traded with Tianrong Aviation Materials?"

Xu Cang didn't hide it: "Only in the hands of experts can the value of commodities be maximized. Luo Tianrong is very annoying, but his vision is still good."

"The original authorization of Boeing aviation materials is indeed a good thing. The strength of Tianrong aviation materials is also very strong. It is rumored that they can already imitate many aviation materials, but they suffer from the lack of original authorization. You just solved his urgent need."

"Tianrong Aviation Materials is so strong, how is it compared to your aviation materials production department?"

Speaking of this topic, Lin Ming couldn't help feeling embarrassed: "The profit margin of Tianrong Aviation Materials is much higher than ours. We are a big business with a scale more than ten times that of Tianrong Aviation Materials, but the profit is only Tianrong Aviation Materials. Two or three times the aviation materials. They are small and sophisticated, with sufficient funds, and they have gone further than us in research and development in a single field."

"That's it, then I underestimated Tianrong Aviation Materials." Xu Cang smiled lightly: "But this is more valuable."

When Lin Ming heard Xu Cang talking to himself, he couldn't help guessing in his heart: "Xu Cang, don't you want to make a plan for Tianrong Aviation Materials?"

Xu Cang understood the meaning of Lin Ming's words, and asked with a smile, "Why, he still can't move?"

"Xu Cang, Luo Tianrong is almost the only one in the aviation materials business, and he is extremely greedy when he starts the business. You probably know what the reputation is like. But it has reached this point, and there are still many companies willing to do business with him. , have you ever wondered why?"

Xu Cang raised his eyebrows, Luo Tianrong was notorious in the circle, he was known as a comprador, and anyone with a bit of a temper would find him displeased.

Although Tianrong Aviation Materials is the leader in the field of aviation materials, there is no rule that airlines cannot directly purchase aviation materials from aircraft manufacturers, but the procedures will be a lot of trouble.Of course, aircraft manufacturers are not able to manufacture all aviation materials. Many aviation materials are authorized by other companies. These companies generally do not do business with airlines alone, but provide them to a certain middleman, and then the middleman Do business with airlines.

There are many reasons for this, some of which are similar to the difference between wholesale and retail.

We all know that wholesale prices are low and retail prices are high.But why are there still many people willing to do wholesale?Which naturally makes sense.

The production lines of these enterprises are lossy every time they are opened and closed, so the best solution is naturally to maintain a relatively stable output plan.If you do retail, the enterprise does not know how much to produce, and it is very troublesome to control the output.

However, if you do business with a middleman, it is easy to estimate.

Basically, intermediaries will purchase fixed aviation material components at a fixed time, which makes it easier for companies to plan.

The reason why we don't do retail at the same time as wholesale is mostly because we have agreements with middlemen.

Middlemen are under pressure to sell. If airlines can directly buy from production companies, the sales pressure on middlemen will increase a lot, which is definitely unacceptable.Therefore, in the purchase agreement, there will basically be a clause that does not allow retail sales.

Tianrong Aviation Materials is such a middleman.

It’s okay to have to buy some things from Tianrong Aviation Materials, but there are also some that can be used, but the business of Tianrong Aviation Materials is still booming. Many airlines are scolding with their mouths, but their bodies are very honest. This is rather weird .

Xu Cang became interested: "Is there a backstage?"

"I heard that there are people on IATA." Lin Ming whispered: "In international routes, IATA membership is still very useful. However, it is still difficult to get into IATA. Because of this relationship, many people who are interested in international routes The airline company is not very willing to offend Luo Tianrong. He may not have the ability to get you into IATA, but he still has some ability to prevent you from getting into IATA. Buying aviation materials at a premium from Luo Tianrong is a tribute in another sense.”

"The tribute is not quite accurate." Xu Cang smiled and said, "It should be said that it is a waste of money to eliminate disasters. It turns out that there are people from IATA. It's okay, it's okay."

"Okay?" Lin Ming was startled: "What do you mean?"

IATA and ICAO are the two major organizations of international civil aviation. Hearing Xu Cang's words, he doesn't seem to care much about IATA.

"Sooner or later." Xu Cang patted Lin Ming on the shoulder, pointed to Huang Jing at the door: "I'm going over there."

Lin Ming nodded: "Go."

Xu Cang said goodbye to Chen Jinwu, and walked slowly to Huang Jing's side. Before he got there, Huang Jing took the initiative to meet him.

"Mr. Xu, let me waste your time." Huang Jing was extremely polite, and he had no airs in front of Xu Cang.

"It's okay, I was going to look for you too, you came here, just in time." Xu Cang waved his hand: "Tell me, what's the matter, see if it's the same as what I guessed."

Huang Jing was surprised for a while, but quickly adjusted: "Mr. Xu Cang, it's not a big deal. Recently, our company's order for seventy 737s was snatched by Bombardier's CS300 aircraft. Bombardier I don’t know what’s good or bad over there, and our company intends to impose a certain degree of sanctions on it. However, I heard that Mr. Xu Cang has some contacts with Bombardier. Before doing anything, our company wants to hear Mr. Xu Cang’s thoughts.”

These words really caught Xu Cang off guard: "Are you asking for my opinion? You need my approval to sanction Bombardier?"

Huang Jing said with a smile: "Didn't Mr. Xu choose the CS300 aircraft when he was in Europe? This should be a relatively obvious signal. We respect Mr. Xu Cang very much. If Mr. Xu has contacts with Bombardier, we can Postpone it a little bit so that Mr. Xu can get out."

"You really flatter me." Xu Cang laughed.

Boing's nostrils are on the top of his head. Who can he put in his eyes, and now he even considered Xu Cang's feelings before the sanction, which is a bit outrageous.

"However." Xu Cang pointedly said: "You think so highly of me, probably not out of kindness."

Huang Jing smiled even brighter: "Mr. Xu has always been a friend of our Boeing. Recently, Mr. Xu authorized our company's aviation materials to be mortgaged to Tianrong Company. It seems that he is raising funds and doing a big job? Before that , Mr. Xu mentioned that he will take action against Airbus in the near future, and asked our company to assist in it. Could it be that the purpose of raising funds is for this, and Mr. Xu is already going to take action against Airbus?"

"You seem to be looking forward to it?"

"Mr. Lance Tamil, the president of our company, is looking forward to it very much. Mr. Xu has always said the same thing. As a little thank you for this, it is nothing to give Mr. Xu the news in advance."

In shopping malls, it looks complicated, but it is actually an exchange of various interests.How to maximize one's own interests in the exchange is the way of survival.

"I'm also looking forward to how your Boeing will make trouble." Xu Cang said: "However, what sanctions do you have for Bombardier's taking your order, can you disclose it?"

Mentioning this, a trace of embarrassment flashed across Huang Jing's face: "Mr. Xu, I am very sorry. The final sanction plan has not yet been finalized. I am not high enough to know a thing or two, so I cannot explain Mr. Xu's doubts here. .”

"I don't know, or I don't want to say?" Xu Cang smiled.

Huang Jing really didn't seem to know: "It's only been more than a day since Delta Airlines canceled the order, how could the headquarters come up with a plan in such a short period of time, and I've lived in Asia Pacific for a long time, far away from the center, The news is naturally slower."

Xu Cang saw that Huang Jing didn't seem to be cheating, so he didn't say much. He was just curious, and the sanctions imposed by Boeing didn't affect him much.

"Originally, I wanted to send someone to the United States. Since I met you, I'm here to give you a suggestion."

"Suggestion? About what?"

"Of course it's about Bombardier."

Huang Jing obviously didn't keep up with Xu Cang's thinking rhythm, or in other words, making suggestions on things like sanctions didn't seem to match Xu Cang.

Huang Jing asked weakly: "Mr. Xu, do you still have research on sanctioning others?"

"I don't do much research on this usually, it's just a whim this time." Xu Cang said with a smile: "The momentum of CS300 should be good now, right?"

"It's quite good." Huang Jing coughed twice: "Of course, this is thanks to Mr. Xu. The limit speed of 450 knots is the best and hardest advertisement. Bombardier has indeed made the right bet this time. .”

"So, now we have to suppress the CS300 aircraft while it is gaining momentum. The two largest markets in the world today are Europe and the United States. Besides, East Asia counts as half of it. The European market It is the headquarters of Airbus, and the CS300 has the most direct competitive relationship with them, so it is not a big problem to hand over the European market to them. What I want to talk about now is the American market.”

Huang Jing's expression slowly became serious: "Mr. Xu, do you have any suggestions?"

"If I'm not mistaken, the price given by CS300 this time is relatively low, right?"

"That's right, it's the promotion period for CS300, isn't it normal for the price to be lower?"

Xu Cang smiled and said, "Then file a dumping lawsuit against it."

"This..." Huang Jing was stunned: "Mr. Xu, this short-term low price that conforms to market rules can't be regarded as dumping, right?"

"There is no need to worry about whether Bombardier is dumping or not. What is the result? The important thing is to initiate an anti-dumping investigation. During this period, Bombardier will not be able to sell CS300 to the US market. If this is the case, the goal has been achieved? "

Xu Cang's idea is very simple. He knows that Bombardier is not dumping. Even if an anti-dumping investigation is initiated, the final result must be that Bombardier is not dumping.But, as Xu Cang said, he didn't care about the result.During the anti-dumping investigation, Bombardier cannot make any sales to the US market, so that is enough.

Bombardier's capital chain is already very tight, and it relies on the CS300 to recover its blood. Now as long as the CS300 is held down, Bombardier will collapse sooner or later.

Huang Jing paused for a while, and suddenly said, "Mr. Xu, do you have any idea of ​​joining our legal affairs department?"

"Is it very damaged?"

Huang Jing nodded mechanically: "It's too bad."

Dumping is the act of exporting at a price below the market. Because it is unfair competition, there will be anti-dumping investigations in all countries.However, it does not mean that low prices necessarily mean anti-dumping. In some cases, even if the price is lower than the market price, it is usually not considered dumping.

For example, seasonal agricultural products may be dumped in the short term because they have a relatively short shelf life. However, this situation is short-lived and the economic impact on the dumped country is not long-term, so it is generally not considered dumping.

For example, in the initial stage of the launch of some products, in order to expand the market, it is considered a normal market behavior to sell at a low price, and in most cases it will not be considered dumping.

However, if any litigant insists on an anti-dumping investigation, it will basically be agreed, because this is in line with the triggering conditions for an anti-dumping investigation.Not to mention, Boeing has a lot of influence in the United States. It is absolutely easy to open an anti-dumping investigation without characterization of Bombardier as dumping. What is certain is that Boeing is also capable of prolonging the anti-dumping investigation period. .

Just like a pilot jumping ship to fight a lawsuit with his old club, the old club also knew that the lawsuit would be lost in the end, but I dragged on. During the lawsuit, the pilot is unable to fly, so let the pilot fail for two or three years, and see who can't stand it .

Boeing also knows that the final anti-dumping investigation has no results, but as long as it drags on for a year or two to suppress the momentum of CS300, the goal will be achieved.

It can only be said that Xu Cang's idea is extremely insidious, and Bombardier has no way to counter it.

"Are you going to headquarters later?"

Huang Jing nodded: "Yes, I will go back to the headquarters right away. There are also some airlines in the Asia-Pacific region who want to buy CS300. I need to go back to the headquarters. After confirming the idea of ​​​​the headquarters, I may have to talk to the representatives of these airlines. meet each other."

"Tell them not to buy CS300?"

"Well." Huang Jing admitted directly: "Airbus will also put pressure on the airlines. The cooperation between the two of us should have good results."

"Sure enough, there are no eternal enemies in this world, only eternal interests." Xu Cang sneered: "Mr. Huang, do you have a surplus in the production capacity of 737 recently?"

"737?" Huang Jing's eyes flickered, and he immediately understood what it meant: "Mr. Xu wants to buy 737?"

"That's right!"

Huang Jing burst into laughter: "I don't know how many 737s Mr. Xu needs?"

"Thirty 737-800s." Xu Cang said seriously, "Is it possible?"

"Thirty planes?" Huang Jing lowered his head and pondered for a moment: "Mr. Xu, you also know that planes are relatively easy to sell recently. If there are less than ten planes, I may be able to put you in a queue. If there are thirty planes, I'm afraid it will take It's two years away."

"It will take two years to get it?" This made Xu Cang a little unhappy, the progress was much slower than he expected.

Thanks to the prosperity of the European market and the East Asian market, the aircraft is indeed easy to sell, but Xu Cang did not expect it to be so easy to sell.

"It took two years to get it." Huang Jing corrected: "After two years, we will start to receive the planes one after another. If there are [-] planes, it will take another two years to deliver them all."

"so slow?"

Huang Jing didn't quite understand why Xu Cang suddenly had such a large demand for aircraft: "Mr. Xu, as far as I know, your airline should not need thirty 737-800s all at once, right?"

"I didn't say to use it for my company." Xu Cang said.

"Ah?" Huang Jing was stunned for a moment: "Who is that for?"

Xu Cang didn't answer Huang Jing's question, but changed the topic: "So there's no other way?"

"No!" Huang Jing said firmly: "Due to the unknown of the long-term market in the future, we cannot increase production capacity without restraint, so it may take time to accumulate production capacity growth, and we cannot change the current situation in a short while. situation."

Whether it is Airbus or Boeing, the increase of production lines is relatively conservative, because the addition and maintenance of any production line requires a lot of money.Even though the world's aircraft market is extremely hot now, no one knows how long this boom will last.

Adding production lines aimlessly, if the market is cold later, the extra production lines will become a huge burden.

As a result, there is a serious lag in capacity additions.

Xu Cang knew about this situation, but he was still a little disappointed to get the confirmation from Huang Jing.

"What about the rental market?"

Huang Jing hissed: "The news I got recently is that the aircraft leasing market is also very popular. Recently, the main force of our company's purchase of aircraft is those leasing companies. They purchase a large number of aircraft, probably because there are not enough leased aircraft in their hands."

"Damn it, how can something with hundreds of millions of dollars look like Chinese cabbage? It's so in short supply." Xu Cang snorted, "It's really a burden."

The sales market is out of stock, and the rental market seems to be in short supply. This is a series of effects brought about by the issuance of the euro. The world is really wonderful.

"Mr. Xu, I would like to ask, why do you want so many 737s?"

Xu Cang smiled and said, "If you feel presumptuous, it's better not to ask."

Huang Jing opened his mouth: "I'm sorry. However, thirty 737s are not so easy to get. Mr. Xu is probably going to worry."

"It's okay, it's a matter of spending more time." Xu Cang looked very relaxed: "Mr. Huang, if you go back to the headquarters, let my people go with you, and he will convey some of my thoughts to Lance. Mr Tamil."

Huang Jing was silent for a moment: "Mr. Xu, your people should not only go to the Boeing headquarters when they go to the United States?"

"By the way." Xu Cang said with a smile, "I like to do things by the way."

After finishing speaking, Xu Cang nodded to Huang Jing: "Boss Huang, go slowly."

Huang Jing was startled, and immediately nodded and replied: "Mr. Xu, I have complied with my request."

"Thank you very much." Xu Cang turned around and walked towards Xia Shuyue.

However, before walking a few steps, Huang Jing shouted behind him: "Mr. Xu, you seem to want to teach Bombardier a lesson, but shouldn't you have a lot of cooperation?"

"No!" Xu Cang didn't turn around, but just raised his right hand: "Who said I want to teach Bombardier a lesson?"

Huang Jing frowned: "Isn't it?"

"Of course not!" Xu Cang kept walking, "I want them to die."

At this moment, in a luxurious villa in London, Richard is lying on a balcony bench drinking coffee leisurely, squinting his eyes, enjoying the gentle sunbathing.

"This man wants to live a peaceful life when he is old. He just worked hard a few days ago. Now that he thinks about it, he is really scared." Richard put the coffee cup on the small round table beside him, turned his head, and looked at the old man who was waiting on the side. Butler: "Has the investigation of the Minzhuang air crash been clear?"

"Well, it's basically clear, and there is basically no discrepancy with what Mr. Xu said." The old housekeeper said respectfully: "However, the Civil Aviation Administration of Korea has not yet made a characterization of the Minzhuang air accident, but according to our internal information, the Civil Aviation Administration of Korea There is no disagreement on the nature of the Minzhuang Air Disaster, and there should be no change in the qualitative results, but it is difficult to grasp the timing."

"This matter has been dragged on for a long time. It will be the second anniversary of the air crash in a few days. If it is to be announced, it will be in these few days." Richard sat up a little: "It's easy to lie down. Sleepy."

Beside, the old butler asked: "Then we are waiting"

"Naturally, we waited for the Civil Aviation Administration of Korea to make an announcement before putting pressure on Korean Air. We shouldn't be the vanguard." Richard said with a smile, "I'm just helping Xu Cang by the way, there's no need to be the one who takes the lead."

The old butler obviously breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly said, "I see, I'll see."

"Well, I'll leave this matter to you, I don't worry." Richard clapped his right hand on his knee: "By the way, do we have contact with Bombardier's union?"

"Well, although Bombardier is not an airline, as long as it is in the civil aviation industry, it will be more or less in contact with us." The old butler was answering Richard's question, while thinking about Richard's question. The intent of the question.

The International Federation of Airline Pilots Association does not have much contact with the Bombardier labor union. The relationship between the two is very unfamiliar. Richard has never mentioned the matter of the Bombardier labor union before. Why did he suddenly mention it today?

"It's good to have a connection." Richard sat up completely upright: "Let them send a representative over."

The old butler was puzzled: "For what?"

After finishing speaking, the old butler realized that he was talking too much, and hurriedly said: "You can pretend that I haven't said it."

"It's nothing." Richard said with a smile: "Naturally, justice is done for them."

In the assembly plant of the Airbus headquarters in Toulouse, COO Ronnie Covein is watching the parts of the first A380 being delivered in the assembly workshop. Soon the first A380 will be born, and Airbus will break the Boeing 747 Monopoly on jumbo airliners.

"A new era is about to start." Ronnie watched the assembly process of A380 with satisfaction. As the leader of this project, any success of A380 will be transferred to Ronnie.

However, the door of the observation room where Ronnie was was roughly pushed open, making a loud noise.

Ronnie was immersed in the infinite reverie of success, and was suddenly dissatisfied when he was interrupted like this: "Don't you know the basic etiquette?"

Looking back, he looked at the person in charge of the assembly factory who came in with great displeasure. He wanted to scold someone, but when he saw the person in charge was terrified, his heart tightened suddenly: "What's wrong, what's wrong?"

The person in charge of the factory obviously ran over, out of breath, and took a long time to recover.When the breath calmed down a bit, the panic on the factory manager's face didn't fade away, on the contrary, it became even more horrifying: "Mr. Covein, something happened to the A380."
