Return to 2000: Captain of the Great Powers

Chapter 346 The rich and noble do not return home, such as walking in brocade clothes at night!
"Decided?" Ma Cheng's voice rang on the phone, different from his usual gloomy tone, this time there was a hint of ridicule in his voice.

Xu Cang heard Ma Cheng's implication, and snorted: "I didn't expect your thoughts to be so dirty."

"Oh, man, I understand, I understand." Ma Cheng laughed loudly: "It's just to reserve a quota for Airbus modification, it's not a big deal. Hehehe, Xu Cang, I really didn't expect it."

Several veins popped up on Xu Cang's forehead: "Okay, hang up."

"Wait a minute, wait a moment." Hearing that Xu Cang was going to hang up the phone, Ma Cheng immediately stopped him and said, "Xu Cang, is Luo Luo's affairs all right?"

"Didn't you read the news about the Trent 1000? What do you think?" Xu Cang sat back on the bed: "There will be no change in the matter of the A380 being put into Hanjing Airport. I will meet Chairman Yue Sheng later to get a A formal and definite answer. If you feel that you can’t wait, you can reveal something in advance in an informal setting, which is fine.”

Ma Cheng is not having a good time in Muhua Airlines. Among the three major airlines, in terms of scale alone, it is not that Guoda Airlines is the largest, but Muhua Airlines is the largest.

The extremely large scale has caused Muhua Airlines to be a bit overwhelmed, and its internal cohesion is not good.Before Si Weimin used his personal prestige to forcibly bond Muhua Aviation together. As soon as Si Weimin left, various factions within Muhua Aviation began to stir.Ma Cheng, the successor, was unable to suppress the disintegrated Muhua Airlines in terms of prestige and ability. Putting the A380 into Hanjing Airport was a headache for Muhua Airlines before, and now it has been done under Ma Cheng’s tenure. This feat alone can make Ma Cheng feel better.

Ma Cheng understood Xu Cang's meaning: "I will grasp the scale well."

"Well, you can figure it out yourself." Ma Cheng is the most familiar with this kind of matter of grasping the scale, and Xu Cang is still very relieved.

"President Ma, there is one more thing I need to discuss with you."

"what?"

"It's like this..." Xu Cang organized his words a little bit: "In the future, we may open up a Tokyo-Yangcheng route. However, it would be too wasteful to put a plane in Yangcheng just to fly this route, so I would like to use the Taking Yangcheng as the starting point, we will open up several routes to maximize the utilization rate of aircraft.”

Ma Cheng was a little strange: "Tokyo-Yangcheng route, isn't this the route you dredged for ANA before, why did you fly it yourself?"

According to the previous agreement between Xu Cang and ANA, he dredged the airports in Shanghai and Yangcheng for ANA.As the owner of the priority right of Yangcheng Airport, Xu Cang naturally also approached Muhua Airlines, and it was Ma Cheng who was looking for it at that time.Therefore, Ma Cheng knew about Xu Cang and ANA, but he didn't expect everything to be reversed.

"Something happened, and I want to fly by myself. The distance from Yangcheng to Tokyo is enough with a 737, and there is no need to buy a wide-body aircraft." Xu Cang asked, "Mr. Ma, is there any problem?"

Ma Cheng was silent for a moment: "Xu Cang, you want to open more airlines in Yangcheng to share the cost of overnight stays for planes and personnel. So, according to what you mean, the airlines opened in Yangcheng should be of higher quality. But, as you know, those high-quality routes... are somewhat difficult for me."

The overall operating cost of Yangcheng Airport is much higher than that of Jianchuan Airport or Erhai Airport.

Therefore, in order to reduce costs, it is best not to spend the night at those high-cost airports.If necessary, it should not accumulate profits based on the number of routes, but choose high-quality routes and operate them in a small and precise manner.

The kind of low-profit routes that look at quantity to win will only drive up costs.Airport charges are based on the number of times, not the class of the route.

This should be done in the past when Ma Cheng was the head of the strategy department, but things were easier to handle.Not to mention the top routes like Yangcheng-Hanjing, it is still barely possible to get one or two of the second-class routes.Now that the level has been raised, on the contrary, there are many constraints, and things are not easy to handle.

Too many eyes were fixed on Ma Cheng, which made him feel very uncomfortable.

"It looks like your situation is not optimistic."

"It's ok." Ma Cheng's voice was still relaxed: "The biggest trouble is gone. I'm already feeling better. As long as I get through this year, I should be able to relax a little bit. Hey, the heights are so cold, I'm really I can understand the meaning of this sentence.”

"Forget it, it's okay to miss the route, if you don't want to make money, just get rid of the cost."

"Such a request should be acceptable." Ma Cheng said: "Xu Cang, you said before that you wanted to take over the promotion of the Olympic Games. This...isn't it a joke?"

"Then you can guarantee that I will be able to join the board of directors of Muhua Airlines if I finish this matter?" Xu Cang smiled.

After Si Weimin's death, his granddaughter Si Linglong will inherit his shares, which can rise to the position of the fourth largest shareholder of Muhua Airlines.

Si Linglong is willing to give Xu Cang the voting rights of the shares, and only retains the share dividends.

However, in view of the particularity of Muhua Airlines, some things cannot be completely measured from the perspective of market economy.Therefore, even if Si Linglong himself is willing to donate the voting rights of the fourth largest shareholder to Xu Cang, such a matter cannot be decided by Si Linglong alone, and requires the consent of other directors of the board of directors.

Xu Cang has a great reputation, but he has no direct interest relationship with the board of directors of Muhua Airlines. Why do they support Xu Cang's entry into the board of directors?

Therefore, Xu Cang must do something, which is a necessary way to enter the board of directors of Muhua Airlines.

The chairman of Muhua Airlines is subject to many restrictions, just like Ma Cheng is now.However, after entering the board of directors, it is a very good way to obtain as many voting rights as possible, so that it can exert influence on Muhua Airlines without being bound by other constraints.

Muhua Airlines wants to expand its influence with the A380, and the Olympics is a good opportunity, but the public relations department has no idea how to do it.On the contrary, Xu Cang, who has no experience in publicity work, offered to undertake related work.According to Xu Cang's plan, this will be his ticket to enter the board of directors of Muhua Airlines.

Faced with Xu Cang's questioning, Ma Cheng was silent for a moment, and finally gritted his teeth: "Yes! But the premise must be to do it beautifully."

"Naturally." Xu Cang said with a smile: "However, you really surprised me. With your temperament, I thought you were going to play word games again."

To be honest, it is quite difficult to get Xu Cang into the board of directors.Even if Xu Cang can show in the Olympic publicity case.

According to Ma Cheng's cautious character, he shouldn't agree so readily.But Ma Cheng's current reaction is obviously inconsistent with Xu Cang's impression of him.

In this way, Ma Cheng bet all on Xu Cang.

Xu Cang's entry into the board of directors is not only good for Xu Cang, but also a great thing for Ma Cheng. Ma Cheng would like to see helpers on the board of directors before.

Perhaps, he will pay some price to get Xu Cang into the board of directors, but he thinks it will be worth it.

"At this time, if you still care about gains and losses, then you are blinded by lard."

"That's right, I didn't expect you to have such awareness." Xu Cang praised.

Ma Cheng is quite capable, otherwise he would not have been chosen by Si Weiming as his successor.It's just that Si Weimin also saw that Ma Cheng was not well-structured enough, he paid too much attention to the issue of interests, and it was difficult to see the big picture.Therefore, Si Weimin is not particularly satisfied with Ma Cheng, and has not fully supported him, making Ma Cheng's foundation unstable.

After Si Weimin's death, this leftover problem directly led to Ma Cheng's current predicament.So, everything happens for a reason.

"The seat is different, so the vision will naturally be different." Ma Cheng said with a smile: "By the way, there is one more thing, that Xia... Xia Shuyue's relationship with you hasn't been made public, right?"

Hearing this question, Xu Cang immediately became unhappy: "What do you mean by that?"

"Don't get me wrong." Ma Cheng quickly explained: "Do you still remember that Park Dek-gyu, that Korean?"

Xu Cang was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect Ma Cheng to mention Park Dek-gyu: "Didn't you say that he went to Korean Air, why did you mention him?"

Park Deok-gyu's "luck" is not very good, it's better to stay away from him.

"He went to Korean Air before, but for some reason, he came back." Ma Cheng clicked his tongue: "I don't know if there is something wrong with Korean Air."

Xu Cang snorted, "If he wants to leave, he will leave, and if he wants to go back, will he return?"

"Oh, after all, he has indeed made contributions to Muhua Airlines, so it's not good to do too much." Ma Cheng himself doesn't like Park Dek-gyu, but things in the workplace don't always go according to one's wishes. It is definitely not worthwhile for a Park Deok-gyu to attract a group of people's resentment.

However, Park Dek-gyu is not happy seeing Xu Cang. If he knew about the relationship between Xia Shuyue and Xu Cang, who knew if Park Dek-gyu would do anything to embarrass Xia Shuyue?
"You guys really recycle all the garbage." Although Xu Cang kept Park Dek-gyu at a respectful distance because of his rebirth, he didn't need to be too deliberate, just told Xia Shuyue.

Moreover, as Ma Cheng asked, not many people know about his relationship with Xia Shuyue... No, he and Xia Shuyue are just friends of the opposite sex!
"You are a big tree attracting the wind now, so it's okay to be careful."

"It's okay, just don't talk about it." Xu Cang said, not really worried about it.

After a pause, Xu Cang's tone gradually turned solemn: "There is one more thing, I will help you with the A380, you guys from Jianchuan Base?"

"Xu Cang, I also want to tell you about this." Even on the phone, he could hear Ma Cheng swallowing his saliva and feeling guilty: "Will the scope of the standard you set involve too much? .Basically, all department vice presidents and above have to be dealt with, this...how about narrowing the scope and only dealing with department leaders and above?"

"Okay." Xu Cang agreed without thinking about it.

Ma Cheng was stunned, he couldn't believe Xu Cang was so easy to talk: "Really?"

"Really." Xu Cang said with a smile: "You really impress me. It really is easy to change the country, but the nature is hard to change. You are still the person who weighs the pros and cons, and shrinks when encountering difficulties. I People are easy to talk, and if they don't want to fulfill their promises, that's fine! Then naturally I won't fulfill my promises."

"The A380?"

"Ma Cheng, you still ask about the A380? Don't worry, since Guoda Airlines has agreed, it doesn't mind who owns the A380, or to be precise, it is not Muhua's. They are more acceptable, and I will take care of it." Who wouldn't want to use this quota, after all, with such a big publicity effect?" Xu Cang smiled lightly, with an undeniable determination in his words.

Ma Cheng was choked by Xu Cang's words, and he smiled wryly: "You... are really overwhelming."

"The people at the Jianchuan base have treated you in a positive way, and now I have given you such a good opportunity to kill with a knife, and you are still hesitant. What is the need for this kind of waste to cooperate?" Xu Cang snorted coldly: "Without you, Then I will do it myself. When I do it, it will not only be the leaders who suffer, but the entire Jianchuan base. I, Xu Cang, have always promised to help you with the A380, and I will definitely help you. You did it well, but you broke your promise. I am being polite to you, otherwise, I will clean you up together. "

Ma Cheng was silent for a long time, before he said, "Xu Cang, you are really different."

"Hmph, I used to be lonely and lonely, so I naturally needed to be cautious. If I still swallow my anger and accept it now, wouldn't it be in vain for me to wander between life and death several times?" Xu Cang's voice became colder and colder: "I said it before , This time I come back like a dragon into the sea, and treat me like a persimmon, huh?"

Rich and noble do not return home, such as brocade clothing at night.

Xu Cang suffered so much and took so many risks in order not to look at other people's faces.

Now that Ma Cheng dares to fool him, can Xu Cang give him a good face?

"I understand." Ma Cheng said dejectedly, "I will fulfill my promise."

"Within 380 hours after National Airline officially notifies you that the A48 will be allowed to enter Hanjing Airport, I want to hear that all the leaders above M2 of the Jianchuan Base will be fired." Xu Cang solemnly said: "This is your last chance. Don't play tricks on this matter, I'm not as patient with you as you think."

"I see." Ma Cheng sighed.

Following these words, Xu Cang hung up the phone.

The beeping sound of hanging up from the phone made the muscles at the corners of Ma Cheng's mouth twitch a few times, and he slowly put down the phone.Beside him, the assistant saw Ma Cheng's expression changed, so he couldn't help asking in a low voice: "Is there any problem, Chairman?"

"Problem?" Ma Cheng threw the phone on the table next to him: "He wished he could eat me raw."

"Where is the Jianchuan base?"

Ma Cheng inserted his five fingers into his hair impatiently: "It seems that we can only hurry up."

But it's not that Ma Cheng doesn't want to move the Jianchuan base, it's just that he likes to be a little more peaceful.For example, first clean up the leaders above the director level, and after a while, deal with the department leaders up to the level of director.

The longer the time, the less resistance you will receive, and it will be easier to fill in the vacancies in time without causing any operational problems.

However, Xu Cang pushed too hard and demanded that everything be done in one step, which made Ma Cheng in a dilemma.

However, Ma Cheng also figured it out.If you really have to choose, Xu Cang's side is more important. The Jianchuan base can only be cleaned once.

"The board of directors probably won't sit idly by."

"Forget it. Anyway, Xu Cang will trade with those old guys when he enters the board of directors. Let's talk to them first. The Jianchuan base is not a particularly important base. Maybe... those old guys' conditions will not be too high. Outrageous."

"But... what if those directors don't agree? It is absolutely impossible to directly fire all the leadership of a base without the approval of the board of directors."

Mentioning this, Ma Cheng was a little upset: "It's really going to be that time, I'm afraid I won't be able to pretend to be a grandson."

That's right, now Ma Cheng is pretending to be a grandson.The foundation is unstable, pretending to be a grandson is a safer means of survival.However, this does not mean that Ma Chengzhen has no strength at all.If some directors are really stubborn, Ma Cheng probably will resort to means.

After all, Xu Cang's weight has been infinitely increased now.

"Not long ago, Rollo-Royce informed us that in the future, the dealership of Rollo-Royce engines in the Asia-Pacific region will be replaced by Xu Cang..."

"So, he is really not what he used to be now. It's too fast, it's only been a while, and he has grown to this point." Ma Cheng suddenly seemed to remember something: "Someone will come to our side later It's a woman who modified the Airbus. Pass it on to me, and no one should make her idea, and don't say the last redundant word."

"Who is it?" The assistant was a little curious.

"Huh?" Ma Cheng gave the assistant a hard look, "You're looking for death."

……

In a private room of a high-end restaurant in Seoul, the president of Korean Air, Choi Sang-do, is wearing a straight upper body, with a dignified look on his face, sipping fine wine.

There was also a full set of cutlery on the seat opposite him, and it looked like he was waiting for someone.

The meeting in the near future is very important to him. He will meet with the members of the Air Accidents Committee in order to be able to accommodate the announcement of the Minzhuang air accident. It is not reasonable for people to meet.

However, at the critical moment of Korean Air's acquisition of Asiana Airlines, the rhythm cannot be interrupted by the Minzhuang air crash.

Suddenly, the door of the private room was pushed open.A middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes walked in from the outside. He had a serious face, and as soon as he entered, he locked onto Cui Xiangdao.

When Cui Xiangdao saw someone coming in, he immediately stood up.However, his eyebrows furrowed slightly. This middle-aged man seemed to be somewhat different from Director Jin's description. Shouldn't he be a man with a relaxed figure?
The man in front of him is extremely well-proportioned, and it seems that he has nothing to do with Fafu.

but.Cui Xiangdao didn't care too much.After all, different people have different definitions of getting fat, and there are too many subjective feelings in it.

So, he walked closer and asked in a low voice, "Mr. Kim Jae-hyuk?"

The middle-aged man suddenly laughed: "President Cui?"

"Huh?" Cui Xiangdao felt that there seemed to be something wrong with the atmosphere in the box.

Suddenly, he noticed the red hanging straps in the middle-aged man's suit.

The listing is blocked by clothing and is completely invisible.But there are a few letters printed on the suspenders.

Suddenly, Cui Xiangdao's face froze: "You...you are not Kim Jae-hyuk! You are... from the Aviation Disciplinary Committee."

The middle-aged man smiled even brighter: "President Cui, I didn't expect to meet in such a way. As an aviation practitioner, why do you meet with members of the Air Accident Investigation Committee in private?"

"You...I..." Cui Xiangdao opened his mouth, but couldn't say a word.

The middle-aged man smiled and said, "President Cui, come with me."
