Return to 2000: Captain of the Great Powers

Chapter 354 Counterattack Blue Sky Airlines!

At 661:661 p.m. that night, the search and rescue team found a large number of aircraft wreckage in the waters near Penghu, confirming that China Airlines Flight [-] had crashed, but the search and rescue of the lucky passengers was not over yet.However, judging from the images leaked at the scene, all the signs are very consistent with Xu Cang's guess about the possibility of China Airlines flight [-] disintegrating in the air.

If this really disintegrated directly at an altitude of [-] meters, then the possibility of surviving is basically equal to zero.

However, everything still has to wait for the final result of the search and rescue team. Xu Cang is unwilling to see such a thing, but there is nothing he can do if it happens.Spring Airlines has already sent people to see Chen Nian’s family members. Information dissemination in this era is not as convenient as in the future. Until the people from Spring and Summer Airlines found Chen Nian’s hometown, his parents still knew nothing about China Airlines. .

Although the result is basically confirmed, whether anyone survived or whether all members were killed still has to wait for the official conclusion of the search and rescue team.

Because of the old things, spring and summer airlines are shrouded in a depressed atmosphere.Some things happen to people who don't know them at all, which is a completely different concept from what happens to people around them, so that Xu Cang even asked the leaders of various departments to do extra ideological work.

Among them, the flight department, cabin department, and security department were the hardest hit. These are all front-line departments, and they have the deepest feelings about this kind of thing.

In this heavy atmosphere, Xu Cang welcomed an acquaintance, the former dispatcher of Blue Sky Airlines, Yue Hai, Xu Cang's senior brother.

Before, there was some unhealthy tendencies in the control room of Spring and Summer Airlines, which made Xu Cang a little unhappy.Xu Cang originally planned to handle it by himself, but there were more and more things in the future, Xu Cang felt that he should not waste time on the renovation planning room, and just leave it to others.

Professionals do professional things. In the field of scheduling, the person Xu Cang can think of is Yue Hai.Xu Cang also talked to Yue Hai before, and Yue Hai agreed.This time, Yue Hai completed the resignation procedures at Blue Sky Airlines, and dealt with the affairs of Jianchuan, and came directly to Chunxia Airlines to take up the post.

Xu Cang personally took Yue Hai to the dormitory building in the base, put his luggage, and the two went downstairs together.Because of the China Airlines 661 incident, Xu Cang was rather upset at first, but it happened that Yue Hai came to talk and chat.

"The company plans to buy a few buildings in the urban area to accommodate the company's employees. The airport is still too remote, and it's not a problem to live here all the time."

Xu Cang walked down the stairs slowly, while Yue Hai followed behind, looking at the base building of Chunxia Airlines like a curious baby.

There is an elevator in the dormitory building, but Xu Cang wanted to walk around, so he didn't take the elevator.

"Your building is well built, much better than Blue Sky Airlines, didn't you spend a lot of money?"

Xu Cang said with a smile: "No, it's probably cheaper than the base building of Blue Sky Airlines. It was built by an acquaintance, and they didn't ask for money randomly."

"Acquaintances?" Yue Hai was a little surprised: "You still have acquaintances in the construction industry, and you really have a lot of friends."

"They are undertaking a large-scale construction process. Building a base building for me is a sledgehammer." Yue Hai's room is on the second floor, and he came down after a short while. Walking in the small garden in front of the dormitory building, Xu Cang said: "Brother, since you are the supervisor of the planning room, I will hand over the planning room to you. I don't want you to turn the planning room into a holy place of incorruptibility, it's almost enough."

"It's almost enough, haha, and some of your previous style."

Xu Cang's mantra when he was bad before was "almost enough", but at that time he was really bad, and now he is deliberately letting a way out.It is quite obvious that there will be no fish when the water is clear.Xu Cang can tolerate certain evils.

"If everyone is a sage, then it doesn't matter." Xu Cang sat down on one of the benches.

Yue Hai knew about China Airlines flight 661. Civil aviation is a closed circle, and the internal spread is very fast, but the external spread is much slower.

"No one wants this kind of thing to happen." Yue Hai sat next to Xu Cang: "It won't have much impact on the company, right?"

Xu Cang felt a little emotional: "It doesn't matter, but forget it, let's not talk about this, let's talk about Blue Sky Airlines."

Yue Hai was not too willing to discuss such a heavy topic, so he was happy to see Xu Cang change the subject, and he squeezed out a smile: "Why mention Blue Sky Airlines? What's there to talk about?"

"Brother, the first A380 in China is with Blue Sky Airlines, is there any news?"

"Didn't you have your eyes open?" Yue Hai hissed: "Before I left, did the A380 really undergo some changes?"

Xu Cang was not surprised, but when he mentioned Blue Sky Airlines, he still laughed unconsciously: "How do you say?"

"According to the plan, the A380 will be delivered on the 27th of next month. In order to welcome this plane, the pilots, flight attendants and security guards all received training in France, and even the route was arranged one month in advance." Yue Hai challenged Frowning, he said: "Flight department, I don't know about the cabin department, but I know about the flight plan. Even the temporary route for the A380 to return home is submitted for approval by us. According to the plan, the A380 will be released on the 27th of next month. Pass through the customs from Jinmen, stop for one night, and land in Jianchuan on the 28th. Then, on the 29th, we will cooperate with the filming of promotional videos and so on. At the end of the month, we will fly to Yangcheng on the 30th of the month. We will have a rest overnight. On October [-]st, we will fly from Yangcheng to the United States Los Angeles."

Hearing what Yue Hai said, Xu Cang couldn't help laughing: "With such a tight schedule, aren't you afraid of any problems?"

"No way, the delivery time is like this, you know on October 380st, if you want to catch up with this time, then you have to hurry up." Yue Haidao: "This plan was made at the beginning of this month. The relevant crew and support personnel were notified. However, just one day before my departure, the flight department notified our planning room and asked us to delete the planning data about the A[-] in the system."

"Did you tell me the reason?" Xu Cang showed a meaningful smile.

Yue Hai shook his head: "No, we are not allowed to tell the outside world about the A380."

Xu Cang hummed, but didn't ask any further questions.

"However, Blue Sky Airlines is not a secret organization. People, there is no impenetrable wall, and you can basically know something by asking." Yue Hai sneered disdainfully: "It is said that there is a problem with the delivery of the A380. "

"There was a problem with the delivery." Xu Cang smiled and said, "Isn't that just a delay? How long did you say the delay was?"

"This one doesn't count."

"It's right if you don't count, even Airbus doesn't have a certain number." Xu Cang patted his clothes: "I spent a lot of money to promote the first flight of the domestic A380. It really is all over the water." It can be heard when it hits the water, which arouses the interest of the public, but the result is the first flight of the pigeon, which is counterproductive.”

"It is said that we are talking, and I don't know if we can achieve any results." Yue Hai suddenly remembered something: "Xu Cang, I heard a message in the airport work area. There are layoffs, and all of them are layoffs, and there is a lot of trouble over there, do you know about this?"

Xu Cang didn't hide anything: "I did it. Why, Muhua's headquarters can't control the Jianchuan base anymore?"

"You did it, why?" Yue Hai suddenly remembered the matter that the captain of Spring and Summer Airlines was collectively hanged up in the circle some time ago: "Is it the captain and the left seat who inspected it?"

Xu Cang straightened his clothes and stood up: "No one wants to have cockroaches and mice in the house. If there are any, they should be cleaned up. Especially these cockroaches and mice are disgusting, so they can't be kept."

"I heard that Mr. Shen Yishan from Jianchuan Airlines came to look for you, and he still stood at the gate here for several hours."

Xu Cang said indifferently: "That's because he still has some brains, otherwise they would be the first to clean up."

"Behind Jianchuan Airlines is not"

"Australia Airlines and Jianchuan Chengtou." Xu Cang took Yue Hai's words directly: "I have already made an agreement with the chairman of Guoda Airlines, and I originally planned to handle the relationship with Chengtou in the future. I didn't expect Shen Yishan to be able to bend and stretch, and to know how to plead guilty. Hmph, as an example, there must be some benefits, and the matter of going to Chengtou has been put on hold later."

"You've really thought everything through." Yue Hai was taken aback. Xu Cang had really kept in mind the companies of Spring and Summer Airlines who had a hand in his hand at the beginning: "I also heard that several companies of Jianchuan Airlines The bureau inspector has applied to resign from the position of inspector."

Among them, the three leading companies, Muhua Airlines Jianchuan Base, Jianchuan Airlines and Blue Sky Airlines, did not seem to be going well. It was only after a few inspectors from the bureau that the duties were barely subsided.The turbulent layoffs at Muhua Aviation's Jianchuan base seemed to be more ominous. As for Blue Sky Airlines, which seemed to be calm until now, Yue Hai didn't think Xu Cang would let Blue Sky Airlines go.

Because in fact, Blue Sky Airlines was the one who organized the game in the first place, and Xu Cang didn't have a good impression of this old club, so he was afraid that he was going to play hard.

"Shen Yishan's ability is not very good, and his vision is not good, but he is a bit good, that is, he can wake up after making mistakes. Some people are obsessed with obsession, and that is the most deadly." Xu Cang waved to Yue Hai: "Brother, let's go." Let me show you around."

After Xu Cang finished speaking, he saw Lu Jinghua running from not far away from the corner of his eye, so he let go of Yue Hai and looked at Lu Jinghua: "What's wrong?"

Lu Jinghua's five sense organs were all crowded together, and he ran up to him: "I just came here from Chen Nian's parents, and I feel bad."

"What's going on over there?"

"What could be the case. Chen Nian's parents are farmers. They have been farming all their lives. Seeing that their son has made some progress, they are gone. I shouldn't be going to send a white-haired man to a black-haired man." Lu Jinghua thought of Chen Nian When the parents heard the news of their son's accident, the two old people's faces were bewildered and helpless, and his eyes were sore.

Xu Cang patted Lu Jinghua on the shoulder: "No one wants to do this. Before, I mentioned the establishment of an employee security fund, so let's start doing it while this matter is in hand. The fund will be responsible for the retirement of old parents in the future. .”

In front of Spring and Summer Airlines, the funds were insufficient, and they spent their own money all on their own, so how could they have the money to set up a security fund.However, recently, Xiao Lingyun has earned a lot of pocket money in the financial market, and the foreign Kingfisher Airlines is also giving blood to the headquarters, and Spring and Summer Airlines' own routes are also operating well, so there is finally some money left.

It is also planned to set up an employee security fund when the money is tight, and it just happens to be a matter of old age.

"Well, I'll talk to the finance side." Lu Jinghua nodded: "Yes, I asked the airport side. They said that the entry and exit are not under their control. If you want to check, you need to go to the Exit-Entry Administration Bureau Check, over there."

"Exit-Entry Administration Bureau?" Xu Cang smacked his lips. He had no acquaintances over there, so it was difficult to handle.

Lu Jinghua was a little strange: "Xu Cang, who is that Lian Shanli? Why do you want to check her entry information?"

"A little girl with a love brain." Xu Cang scratched his head: "By the way, that Shen Ning has found the information."

"I found this one." Lu Jinghua said, "It's a college student of Hanjing Aerospace University, and this one is again."

Xu Cang only felt his head was as big as a bucket: "It's really that Shen Ning!"

In the office of the Vice President of Operations of Blue Sky Airlines, Luo Yong looked at the official letter from the Airbus headquarters about the delayed delivery of the A380, and was speechless for a long time.

A few days ago, they received a verbal notification from Airbus headquarters.Although this matter has basically been settled, Luo Yong still has a little bit of fantasy. After all, verbal notification has no legal effect. As a result, he received a formal notification today, which indicates that the delayed delivery of the A380 has become a foregone conclusion.

Luo Yong's eyes moved down, and he saw a paragraph at the bottom of the letter - the delivery time is to be determined.

Co-author Airbus himself doesn't know when it will be postponed!

"Is there a response from Muhua Airlines?" Luo Yong really didn't want to read the document anymore, and looked up at Wang Xuan, the general manager of the flight department opposite the desk.

Before, when Airbus verbally notified the delay in the delivery of the A380, Blue Sky Airlines had already asked Muhua Airlines.After all, this A380 was transferred from Muhua Airlines to Blue Sky Airlines, and with the size of Blue Sky Airlines, they dare not speak loudly in front of Airbus. If there is any result in the negotiation, only Muhua Airlines will have some effect .

Wang Xuan's face was not very good: "Muhua Aviation said that it is communicating with Airbus."

"Communication, communication, if we continue to communicate, the day lily will be cold." Luo Yong scolded: "In the past quarter, how much did we spend on publicity in major cities across the country? Shopping malls, office buildings, buses, subways, all Our advertisement for the first flight of the A380 even changed the livery on our aircraft, just to take the title of the first flight of the A380 in the country. Well, so much money was spent, but the result was postponed. Isn’t this playing with us? ?”

In the past quarter, Blue Sky Airlines spent all the profits of the previous year, and advertised everywhere in the country, just thinking about relying on the A380 to make Blue Sky Airlines suddenly become a nationally famous airline from a regional airline.

The first person to eat a crab can often get some extra benefits, but now it seems that the crab has not been eaten, but has been pinched by the crab's claws.

"They didn't invest in publicity, and they didn't have an A380 plan. They must be sitting on the Diaoyutai. If there is still no news in two days, you can go to the sheep farm yourself. If you don't take a whip, they won't know the urgency. "Luo Yong said bitterly.

A strange look flashed across Wang Xuan's face. According to Luo Yong's meaning, it seemed that Lantian Airlines was the giant, and Muhua Airlines was a girl who obeyed.However, the immediate boss was still angry, and Wang Xuan couldn't refute Luo Yong's face, so he could only pretend to agree.

"By the way, is there any problem with the financial side?"

"This... I need the chief financial officer to report to you, but as far as I know, the situation is not very good." Wang Xuan said with a bitter face: "It was originally planned that there will be income from international routes in October, although it will still be in a state of loss, but This is acceptable."

According to the booking situation of the Yangcheng-Los Angeles route, at least in the short term, relying on the freshness of the A380, the occupancy rate will not be low.Moreover, the profitability of international routes, especially such high-quality international routes, is extremely astonishing.If done well, one route can support a small and medium-sized airline company.

Of course, in view of the previous publicity investment, it must still be in a state of loss in terms of profit for the year.However, the situation is improving, and the most terrible loss is a hopeless loss.If you can perform well on the Yangcheng-Los Angeles route, even if you lose money, banks are more willing to lend.

But if the Yangcheng-Los Angeles route cannot operate on time, or if the delay is too long, then the appetite raised in the early stage will become a burden instead.Many people have a sense of novelty about the A380, and Blue Sky has indeed used huge publicity expenditures to mobilize the freshness of the public, but if it is not satisfied, it will quickly wear off the novelty, and some even have a bad temper. If you feel disgusted with Blue Sky Airlines, you are spending money to make a crime.

"It's almost impossible to make the first Yangcheng-Los Angeles route in October, so what else is there to say?" Luo Yong said bitterly.

"If the Yangcheng-Los Angeles route is cancelled, the financial statements for this year and even next year will be ugly." Wang Xuan said: "Moreover, on domestic routes, flights from Jianchuan Airport are squeezed by Spring Airlines, and profits There has also been a decline. Now the company can still hold on. It depends on what the Spring Festival travel has said this year. If the Spring Festival travel can revive blood, it can survive. .”

Luo Yong gritted his teeth: "Isn't Jianchuan Airport Group very tough? Isn't that manager Yao very loud? Why is he Xu Cang's slave now?"

"Mr. Luo, the route document for Cebu has been approved, but I don't know why, Jianchuan Airport has not given time. I don't know what it means?" Wang Xuan frowned: "I have approached Yao twice in private. Manager, but he avoided seeing him, wondering if something might have changed."

"If you don't give time, Jianchuan Airport will go back on it?" Luo Yong was stunned for a moment, and then there was a trace of anxiety on his face: "This kind of approved things will have to go back on it, how dare he!"

"Mr. Luo, the route to Cebu. If we really pursue it, there is nothing we can do if we regret it." Wang Xuan said helplessly.

When the Cebu route was first approved, it was not a formal process, it was all a small trick, and if it really had to be investigated, the approval documents could also be rejected from the perspective of laws and regulations.

"He didn't see you, he did it on purpose."

It is possible that once it happened to be a busy time, but he avoided it twice. Based on Yao Binghua's virtue, it is estimated that he could avoid it, which is indeed not a good sign.Luo Yong knew that Yao Binghua was not the person in charge of Jianchuan Airport Group, but that Ye Shengning was in charge.

However, he heard that Ye Shengning has a lot of ideas, and he shouldn't be thinking about giving orders to Xu Cang, he must have some active thoughts.Even if Ye Shengning knew about his deal with Yao Binghua, he would turn a blind eye and close his eyes if he thought about it, just to test the bottom of Chunxia Airlines, there is no need to go into this muddy water.

Wang Xuan lowered his head: "I don't know about this, but it feels abnormal."

"Forget it, Yao Binghua has a lot of people. I will go to him tomorrow and ask him to understand. Although the Cebu route is far inferior to the Los Angeles route, the mosquitoes are small, but they are meat. Now the company's cash flow is tight, and it has to rely on Southeast Asia routes to return. What about the blood, if you can’t get out at this first step, how will you pave the route behind?”

The stone hanging in Wang Xuan's heart was slightly let go, Yao Binghua was not easy to get along with, and he was happy to let Luo Yong deal with him.

However, the biggest problem for Blue Sky Airlines now is the A380. The idea was withdrawn from Yao Binghua, and Wang Xuan turned back to the A380: "Mr. Luo, I heard some gossip that even if Airbus will deliver The A380 will be delivered to Qatar Airways first, and our side is expected to be a little later in the first batch."

"What do you mean, where did you hear that?" Luo Yong immediately became angry: "Why should we give it to Qatar Airways first, and we don't care about it? It's been postponed, and we are still ranked lower?"

The first batch of A380s will be delivered to Qatar Airways, Saudi Arabian Airlines, American Airlines, Delta Air Lines, Muhua Airlines, Japan Airlines and so on.In the delivery sequence of the first batch of A380s, Muhua Airlines was not at the back, and was about in the middle. Then Muhua Airlines gave this place to Blue Sky Airlines.

There has been no adjustment before, why did my ranking get pushed back when the delay was postponed?
"Mr. Luo, I'm just a gossip, just listening to what others say." Wang Xuan hurriedly said.

In fact, there are some things that Wang Xuan did not say. If Muhua Airlines occupies this seat, then Airbus might not move. Airbus must have a heavy heart.

Now this quota has been transferred to Blue Sky Airlines, what is Blue Sky Airlines?Compared with other airlines in the first batch, it is two or three grades lower, not an order of magnitude at all.

The big companies must be anxious about the delay. Those big companies behind Blue Sky Airlines are so angry that Airbus can only pinch the soft persimmons, adjust the order of delivery, and put out the fire a little bit.As for how Blue Sky Airlines feels, can Airbus care?
However, Wang Xuan also felt that after Muhua Airlines donated the A380 quota, it was obviously not very concerned about it.Previously, the A380 project was used as a communication bridge between Blue Sky Airlines and Airbus. It was timely at the beginning, but later the feedback became slower and slower, and the content became more and more perfunctory, which made Wang Xuan very angry.

This time, Airbus may have to adjust the delivery order of Blue Sky Airlines. I am afraid that even if Muhua Airlines is asked to coordinate, Muhua Airlines will not care very much.

Wang Xuan had a feeling that Blue Sky Airlines seemed to have fallen into a pit.

However, in the face of huge sunk costs, even if you know you have fallen into the pit, you can only smash your teeth and swallow it.

Luo Yong's face was very exciting. Although Wang Xuan repeatedly said that it was gossip, he always felt that Airbus would really do this.He was already anxious, but now he was even more anxious.

He wiped his face with cold sweat. The A380 incident was bad enough, so he simply changed the subject: "Wang Xuan, I heard the news today. The Jianchuan base of Muhua Airlines is going to lay off staff, and all of them are laid off." Leader, do you know any inside news, don't you have acquaintances over there?"

Mentioning this, Wang Xuan's expression became unnatural, even more unnatural than when talking about the A380.

"Mr. Luo, according to my friend, all the leaders above M2 at the Jianchuan base will be fired, and there will be no one left."

"This..." Luo Yong was shocked: "There is no one above the department leader. Impossible, crazy, who gave the order?"

"It must be the headquarters of Muhua Airlines. However, the appointment and dismissal of personnel has not yet come down, and now I just heard some rumors. However, there is no sign of this kind of thing that can spread so violently. It seems that the headquarters of Muhua Aviation really has an idea. .”

"Damn it, I don't understand what the world is like now." Luo Yong sat blankly: "That guy Ma Cheng has been promoted, and he's so happy, Fan Jinzhongju?"

"It's hard to say. The Jianchuan base is very close to the Hanjing branch. It has been opposed to Ma Cheng's succession before. I don't know if Ma Cheng wants to make an example. However, even if it is to establish prestige, the sword The leadership of the Sichuan base is almost completely wiped out, the methods are a bit too ruthless, aren't they afraid of causing a backlash?"

Luo Yong scratched his head: "That's the reason, that's what crazy people do."

"What if Ma Cheng isn't crazy?" Wang Xuan said suddenly.

Objectively speaking, Ma Cheng has been regarded as the successor of Muhua Airlines for many years, and it is not a blessing from heaven. So much excitement, as for being crazy?

So if Ma Cheng is not crazy, what does his current behavior mean?
Luo Yong was silent, and Wang Xuan who raised this question stopped talking, and the two thought of a person in unison.

"Wang Xuan, I heard that Mr. Shen of Jianchuan Airlines went to Spring and Summer Airlines to plead guilty?"

"I've been standing at the gate for several hours." Wang Xuan said in a low voice.

"Then Jianchuan Airlines will be fine, right?"

"Not long ago, several bureau inspectors of Jianchuan Airlines resigned on their own initiative." Wang Xuan added, "It was the bureau inspectors who participated in the captaincy of Spring and Summer Airlines."

"Oh." Luo Yong nodded, and there was another period of silence.

In fact, Wang Xuan had already thought of a certain possibility, but dared not say it.Seeing this, he couldn't help it.

"Mr. Luo, the example of Jianchuan Airlines is the first, if we take the initiative to reconcile with Xu Cang"

Luo Yong raised his head: "Then you mean that the large-scale layoffs at the Jianchuan base were ordered by Xu Cang to Ma Cheng?"

Wang Xuan opened his mouth, and he met Luo Yong's fierce eyes. From a rational point of view, it is best not to touch Luo Yong's bad luck at this time, but for some reason, Wang Xuan summoned up his courage and said: "What if Woolen cloth?"

Luo Yong was immediately stunned, and immediately slapped the table with ferocious eyes, just about to scold Wang Xuan, when suddenly, his office door was pushed open roughly, and a person rushed in from the outside, Luo Yong took a closer look and it turned out to be the person who was talking to Wang Xuan just now. Yao Binghua, vice president of Jianchuan Airport Group, arrived.

I saw that Yao Binghua had lost his former composure, and his face was flustered and frightened.I don't know if it was because his emotions were too intense, but he didn't notice Luo Yong at the first time after rushing in.

Luo Yong never expected that Yao Binghua would come over suddenly: "Boss Yao, you."

As soon as Luo Yong opened his mouth, Yao Binghua immediately located Luo Yong in the office. Like a hysterical beast, he roared at Luo Yong: "Luo Yong, did you tell me the secret? Fuck, Ye Shengning is going to send me to jail now!"
