Return to 2000: Captain of the Great Powers

Chapter 382 Take back Rongfu Airport!

At noon the next day, in the meeting room of the flight department of Chengdu Airlines, almost all the leaders of the flight department came over, including the vice president of operations.There is no other reason why the people are so neat. Xin Xin, Director of the Airport Department of the General Administration, took the earliest flight to come.Since it was too early, Xin Xin was sitting at the main seat in the conference room, with drooping eyelids, propped his head on one hand, sank from time to time, and seemed to be dozing off.

In the conference room, the leaders of the flight department did not dare to show their atmosphere, because just yesterday their company's plane caused an extremely serious accident, and the time of the accident was very bad.

After waiting for a few minutes, the meeting room was still dead silent.This atmosphere made the leaders of Rongcheng Airlines, who were already very nervous, scratch their heads, so that after waiting for a while, as the vice president of operations with the highest level of indoor management, they asked in a low voice: "Director Xin?"

Xin Xin's half-closed eyes suddenly opened, but he didn't look up to look at the leaders of the flight department, he just said to himself: "I fell asleep?"

At this time, the vice president of operations hastily picked up the conversation: "Director Xin, it's been too hard. I took the earliest flight here."

"Oh, that's right." Xin Xin took a deep breath and wiped his face: "I only slept for two hours last night. It was past two o'clock in the morning after I finished my official duties. I came here on a plane that took off at six o'clock, and I ended up getting up at four o'clock."

The vice president of operation heard that Xin Xin's tone didn't seem to have much meaning of blame, and he immediately relaxed: "Then you can wait for a later flight, there is no need to take it so early."

"No." Xin Xin yawned and leaned back, looking rather sleepy.

The vice president of operations was stunned: "Why not, it won't have any impact if it is later?"

Xin Xin raised his eyelids, and suddenly his voice became colder: "Of course it will affect you. Director Li can't wait to deal with you. You can't wait another two hours."

As soon as this remark came out, the faces of the vice president of operations and the leaders of the flight department all changed drastically.In front of Xin Xin, the department leaders of the flight department didn't even dare to speak, only the vice president of operations dared to say a few words.However, Xin Xin's words were too serious, and the vice president of operations was actually unwilling to make such a move, so he winked at the chief engineer and asked him to explain to Xin Xin.

"Director Xin, our crew is certainly responsible for this matter, but the airport"

"Shut up." Xin Xin directly interrupted the chief teacher: "Originally I was not responsible for this kind of thing. It should be Director Li from Hangan. I can still listen to you. If Li The director is here, do you still dare to quibble?"

Li Lin, director of the Aviation Safety Department of the General Administration, is notoriously hot-tempered in the industry, and the leaders of Chengdu Airlines know it.Thinking of what Xin Xin said, he couldn't help but shudder.

Xin Xin sneered and said, "Spring and Summer Airlines just caused an air traffic conflict. The matter has not been resolved yet, and you are giving the whole thing a big one. Do you think our headquarters is idle?"

"No, no, Director Xin, this time it was definitely just an accident." The vice president of operation also gave up explaining, no matter what, he begged for mercy first.

"Just?" Xin Xin snorted, "Don't you know that people from the International Civil Aviation Organization are inspecting at the General Administration? You have accidents one after another, which makes us very passive, don't you know?"

"I know, I know, we are Director Xin, and we don't want this to happen. It's really just an accident."

Xin Xin waved his hand directly: "I don't care if it's an accident or not. It just so happens that other districts will transfer some appointed representatives. The original plan was to prepare for Spring and Summer Airlines. Now it seems that those appointed representatives have to work overtime."

The vice president of operations was about to cry. Their Rongcheng Airlines is getting bigger and bigger.

"Director Xin, this can't be allowed, really can't be allowed." The vice president of operations begged.

"Isn't this just a coincidence? Anyway, Erhai Lake in Jianchuan is also very close to Rong Mansion. It would not take much time to increase the number of inspections."

The Vice President of Operations felt his scalp go numb, but seeing Xin Xin's expression, he didn't dare to speak again.

"By the way, there is one more thing about the representative of Rongfu Airport?" Xin Xin raised his eyelids and asked.

"Representative Cheng?" The vice president of operations was a little dazed, unable to understand Xin Xin's meaning: "Director Xin, does this matter have anything to do with Representative Cheng?"

Xin Xin did not answer the executive vice president about this matter, but knocked on the desktop: "Call him over."

The vice president of operation opened his mouth. He had a bad premonition, but he didn't dare to disobey any more, so he called the representative of Rongfu Airport Group in the company.

Rongcheng Airlines has some investment from the local government, and some investment from Rongfu Airport Group, so Rongfu Airport Group has a resident representative in the company, and usually participates in company decision-making.However, what happened to Rongcheng Airlines at Jianchuan Airport is obviously an obvious technical problem, so it doesn't make sense for representatives from Rongfu Airport to come to the meeting.

About 10 minutes later, the representative of Rongfu Airport Group in his 30s, dressed in a gray suit, came in a hurry.

Xin Xin was listening by the side just now, and the vice president of operations couldn't talk too much on the phone, he just said that the flight department had some important matters to discuss together, so just ask him to come to the meeting room of the flight department.How did he know that the representative Cheng saw Xin Xin as soon as he opened the door.

Xin Xin is the Director of the Airport Department of the General Administration. Except for a very few airports in the country, all airport groups are under his control.

Representative Cheng had a combed back hair and a strong smell of perfume when he came in. He wore three rings on both hands. Although the suit was a formal suit, it could be seen that there were many small designs in it, which were obviously custom-made.After seeing Xin Xin, Representative Cheng was stunned for a moment, and immediately became at a loss, not knowing what to say.

"Representative Cheng, are the people in Rongfu Airport Group so fashionable and avant-garde?" Xin Xin raised his chin: "Or do you want me to visit your group headquarters?"

"No, no, no." Representative Cheng shook his head like a rattle, and hurriedly took off the conspicuous ring on his hand: "Director, you must have misunderstood."

Xin Xin glanced at Representative Cheng: "You're all dressed up, what do you want to do?"

Representative Cheng nodded and bowed his head: "Director, this is just my personal preference, a little bit fancy."

"Personal preference, right?" Xin Xin said with a smile: "Then go back to the Airport Group and don't show up here. In the Airport Group, you can develop your personal hobbies as you like."

The corner of Cheng's mouth twitched, and he glanced at the vice president of operations, but he saw that the vice president of operations was looking at his nose and his heart, as if he was staying out of the matter.At this time, confidence is obviously in a state of extreme anger, so it's better not to touch his bad luck.

"Director, I am the representative of our airport in Rongcheng. If you want to go back, you need to transfer another person from the group." Representative Cheng whispered: "I have been here for many years. I know more about Chengdu Airlines, and it may not be easy to find a replacement."

"It's hard to find, isn't it?"

Representative Cheng nodded hurriedly: "Yes, it's not easy to find."

"Then don't look for it." Xin Xin stretched his waist: "In the future, the Rongfu Airport Group will not have to send representatives here."

"what?"

Now it's not just representative Cheng, the vice president of operations who had been trying to stay out of the matter just now also changed his expression drastically. He looked at Xin Xin: "Director Xin, the Airport Group is a shareholder of our company, and we must send a representative to our company. Power is exercised here."

"It's easy to handle." Xin Xin said with a smile: "Isn't it enough to let the shares of Rongfu Airport Group withdraw from here?"

"This..." the vice president of operation gasped. The shock brought by this sentence was even more shocking than the news of the General Administration's investigation of Rongcheng Airlines just now. He unconsciously looked at representative Cheng and opened his mouth. How should I answer this sentence.

Obviously, this is no longer a simple discussion about safety accidents, and the General Administration has other thoughts.

Representative Cheng has a lot of other ideas, but his business ability is still good, and he also smelled an extremely serious smell from Xin Xin's words: "Director, are you asking us to withdraw our shares from Chengdu Airlines?"

Xin Xin raised his eyebrows: "Which word I just said is not clear, you still don't understand."

"No, no, no, that's not what I meant. I meant. Why did it happen all of a sudden?" Representative Cheng laughed dryly: "We have been a shareholder of Rongcheng Airlines for many years, and there has been no problem, right?"

"What do you mean suddenly? Representative Cheng, are you playing dumb with me? I don't know what it means?"

Representative Cheng just stood at the door, his eyes flickering: "Director, this matter is really not easy to handle."

Unlike just now, Representative Cheng said that he couldn't handle it this time with extremely serious words, and it seemed that he was not very shy about this matter.

"Representative Cheng, do you think that the interests are intertwined, so the General Administration is using the mouse? I said it before you came. Originally, director Li Lin was responsible for such incidents involving aviation safety, but this time Li The bureau asked me to come here for a walk. Of course, Director Li is also dealing with the matter of Spring and Summer Airlines recently, so he cannot be separated from him. But Bureau Li specially selected me to come here, isn’t that obvious?" Xin Xin smiled Said: "Aside from Rongfu Airport, which airport group in the whole country has invested in the shares of its resident airline company, huh?"

Facing the question raised by Xin Xin, Representative Cheng's face changed rapidly, and Xin Xin directly clarified the words.

Although there are no clear regulations, in reality, there is basically no situation where the airport group takes a stake in the airline company stationed at the station, because it involves the situation of being both an athlete and a referee.

An airport is a relatively typical public facility. Except for some special circumstances, such as the provisions of administrative instructions, otherwise resources should not be too much tilted towards a certain airline.But if the airport group takes a stake in its resident airline, then a bond of interest will be formed, and it will unconsciously tilt resources towards that airline.

Why is it not the three major airlines that speak the hardest at Rongfu Airport, but Chengdu Airlines?The main reason is that Rongfu Airport has invested in Rongcheng Airlines. The two companies belong to a community of interests, so naturally they advance and retreat together.

There were complicated reasons why Rongfu Airport took a stake in Rongcheng Airport, so this matter has not been resolved for a long time.However, this time it seemed that the General Administration wanted to settle the matter in one fell swoop, so it was Xin Xin who was sent instead of Li Lin.

"However, Director Li is still considerate. We will give you a certain amount of time to dispose of those shares by normal means, which will not bring much loss to Rongfu Airport Group." Xin Xin said: "This is Li The bureau gave you the biggest concession."

Representative Cheng was silent, he was not capable of answering such a big matter.However, judging by Xin Xin's appearance, the General Administration may have made up its mind this time, and it won't be able to get by.

However, compared to Representative Cheng's hesitation, the Vice President of Operations of Chengdu Airlines was visibly flustered.

One must know that Rongcheng Airlines has developed so well in recent years, one of the reasons is that it has a direct interest binding with Rongfu Airport.Rongfu Airport has given Rongcheng Airlines too much convenience in its operation. From the actual effect, Rongcheng Airlines almost has the priority of Rongfu Airport.

With the explosive development of Rongfu Airport, Rongcheng Airlines has also received huge dividends and has developed extremely rapidly.

If Rongfu Airport withdraws its shares, then Rongcheng Airlines will not be special to Rongfu Airport. He does not think that under such circumstances, Rongcheng Airlines can maintain its previous high growth rate.

Compared with the withdrawal of the airport's shares, the investigation by the General Administration is even insignificant. This is going to dig down the roots of Chengdu Airlines.

Representative Cheng pondered for a moment: "Director, you said just now that no airport group in China would take a stake in a stationed airline company, but what about the reverse? What about the airline company's shareholding in a local airport?"

Hearing Representative Cheng's words, the vice president of operation's eyes lit up, and he immediately understood what Representative Cheng meant.

"I heard that Spring Airlines became a shareholder of Jinghong Airport Group and even obtained the right to manage the airport. Isn't this more serious than ours? Or is it that the General Administration treats them differently, regardless of Spring Airlines, and only targets us at Rongfu Airport Group? "

Xin Xin seemed to have been prepared for a long time, and said indifferently: "Two years ago, the General Administration issued new regulations on allowing the introduction of private capital in the construction of airports. In this regulation, the entry of private capital is limited to the initial construction of the airport. Unless there is special approval, private capital is not allowed to enter again. Jinghong Airport was originally a military airport, and later changed to a civilian airport. No matter from the hardware facilities of the field or the flight procedures, all need to be changed, which is already equivalent to a new construction. Therefore, Spring All actions of Xia Airlines complied with the regulations."

"Of course, if you can also invest huge sums of money now and get the consent of the local government, you can build your own airport." Xin Xin laughed.

"Reconstruction of Jinghong Airport is equivalent to new construction. There is no obvious conclusion on whether this statement complies with the regulations, is there?" Representative Cheng gritted his teeth: "Director, our Rongfu Airport is willing to accept the request of the General Administration, but we hope that the General Administration It can also be treated equally.”

There are ambiguities in any regulations. Jinghong Airport changed from a military airport to a civilian airport. Except for a runway and some fragmentary facilities and equipment, everything else has to be changed, even the flight procedures.Therefore, in terms of actual effect, Xin Xin said that Spring Airlines' reconstruction of Jinghong Airport is equivalent to building a new one, and there is actually no problem.

However, if you cut out the words, reconstruction cannot be completely equated with new construction.

So, in fact, Chunxia Airlines’s shareholding in Jinghong Airport is also a violation of the regulations.

Xin Xin asked with a gloomy face, "Why do you think the General Administration approved private capital to enter the airport construction two years ago?"

Representative Cheng lowered his head: "The Administration expects the domestic civil aviation market to develop, and explosive development is inevitable. Domestic civil aviation airports will definitely not be enough, and government funds cannot cover all new airport construction, only private capital can be introduced."

Just like expressway construction, if the government pays for everything, the amount of money that needs to be invested will be huge, and even the officials will not be able to withstand it.

However, once the government is allowed to do everything, the progress will be extremely slow, and it is likely to miss the opportunity for development. Therefore, it is necessary to introduce private capital with restrictions.

"Then why is it stipulated that private capital can only be invested at the beginning of the airport's construction?"

Representative Cheng thought for a while: "I want private capital to take risks with the government, and at the same time prevent speculators from entering in large numbers."

Although the airport is a public facility, it also depends on the profit and loss.

There are a lot of changes in the world. Even if it feels that the airport will develop very well at the beginning of construction, but after the construction is completed, the airport will be desolate.

If private capital is allowed to enter at any time, then private capital can wait until the airport is built, has been in operation for a period of time, and has a clear vision of the airport's prospects before adding follow-up investment.Because, the airport is a big project, and it usually has several phases, and the second and third phases are normal.

If this is the case, then all the risks are borne by the government in the early stage, and when it stabilizes in the later stage, the dividends will be paid to the private capital, and the profits will be guaranteed without compensation.

Therefore, in the regulations, private capital must invest in the construction site, so that risks can be shared, and profits will be generated later, and money will be earned together.There is nothing in the world that can take all the benefits.

"That's right, risks and benefits should be equal and coexist." Xin Xin sneered: "You have invested in Rongcheng Airlines after operating at the airport for several years, right? If you invest in Rongcheng Airlines when you are not sure, even if there were no relevant regulations at that time, we will only admire your courage and vision. But the General Administration has given you a lot of convenience, and finally supported you. After stabilizing, buying a stake in Chengdu Airlines, and then providing convenience to Chengdu Airlines to obtain benefits, isn’t this the same as not taking any risks and all the benefits?”

At the beginning of the construction of Rongfu Airport, the scale of domestic civil aviation was still small at that time, and the future prospects were not clear.At that time, Rongfu Airport had no idea, how could it dare to invest in an airline company?
One of the important reasons why it has developed to the current scale is that the General Administration has given a lot of policy support.

As a result, with the support of the General Administration, Rongfu Airport has passed the most difficult start-up period and entered a stable and rapid development period.At this time, Rongfu Airport knew in his heart that if he invests in an airline at will, and then provides some convenience at the airport in turn, then he can feed back a lot of benefits, which is a steady profit without loss.

"What's the difference between your behavior and those private speculators who expect to only invest in the second and third phases of the airport, huh?"

Representative Cheng blushed, and Xin Xin's words were really heart-wrenching, shaking out all the dark thoughts about earning extra money at the Rongfu Airport.

Xin Xin looked at the appearance of the representative, and knocked on the table: "Is the throughput of Rongfu Airport among the top five in the country?"

"Huh?" Representative Cheng was taken aback. He didn't expect Xin Xin to turn his attention to throughput, but he still nodded: "Yes, Director."

"Right now, Chengdu Airlines has actual priority at an airport with the top five throughput in the country. Do you think this is appropriate?"

Representative Cheng's face changed drastically, and he finally understood the deep meaning of the General Administration. In fact, it has nothing to do with any shareholding or private capital. The priority of Rongfu Airport is the most important.

How precious is the priority of a large airport that ranks among the top five in the country in terms of throughput, and how can such resources be allocated so hastily?

In the past, due to some profit reasons and the fact that Rongfu Airport had not yet fully developed, the General Administration temporarily put it on hold.But now it is different, the status of Rongfu Airport has been close to that of the three major airports, so its priority is already important enough, and the General Administration feels that it is time to take it back.

However, this matter involves two parties, namely Rongfu Airport and Rongcheng Airlines.

Rongcheng Airlines has such a big incident at Jianchuan Airport, it is a huge handle, the General Administration has a reason to clean up Rongcheng Airlines, are you afraid that Rongcheng Airlines will not agree?

As for Rongfu Airport
"Director, I need to go back and discuss this matter with other people."

Xin Xin smiled slightly: "I know what you are thinking about. However, there is one thing you may not know yet."

"What?" Representative Cheng was taken aback.

Xin Xin snapped his fingers: "Just this morning, Yao Binghua, vice president of Jianchuan Airport Group, surrendered himself to the Public Security Bureau directly under the General Administration."

Now Representative Cheng's face turned as white as paper: "Why did he turn himself in?"

However, Xin Xin did not answer the representative's question, but looked at him jokingly: "Cheng Yongliang, you must remember never to go against the General Administration, it is very dangerous."

Representative Cheng suffocated for breath, his mind turned a thousand times, and finally lowered his head: "Director, I understand."

After Xu Cang confirmed that Xu Mingjian was in good health and made plans for the future, he took the afternoon plane back to Erhai Lake.

After getting off the plane, Xu Cang met Xia Shuyue who was packing up and going to the Yanshan branch when he was leaving.

Originally, Xu Cang planned to invite Zhu Ming and his wife to have a meal after returning, but in reality, because of the air conflict in the Xianchi area, and then the plane collision on the Jianchuan airport, two incidents in a row made Xu Cang miss it. Scheduled meal date.

However, Zhu Ming and his wife didn't pay much attention to this, and said that they would have time to have dinner together in the future, so there was no need to rush for a day or two.

After Xia Shuyue finished her physical examination, she came back to Erhai Lake to clean up, and then she was going to the Yanshan branch school, so time was tight.

Xia Shuyue hadn't seen Xu Cang for a while, she was stunned when she noticed Xu Cang, and then walked over, Xu Cang waved to her, motioning them to talk to the small garden bench in front of the building .

At this time, it was almost two o'clock in the afternoon, and the small garden bench was covered by vines, casting a large shadow, but it was very cool.

Xia Shuyue followed and sat beside Xu Cang: "I heard that something happened to you again?"

"Oh, it's normal for me to have an accident, but it's not normal if there is no accident." Xu Cang scratched his head: "Not good, fortunately, it's not a big deal."

"That's good." Xia Shuyue hummed, "I'll go to Yanshan tonight."

"In such a hurry?"

"The first lesson will start tomorrow. Fortunately, it's not far from Yanshan, so I'm not tired."

"Well, it's fine if you don't feel tired." Xu Cang nodded, and turned his head to look at Xia Shuyue.

Perhaps it was for the flight training later, Xia Shuyue seemed to have gotten used to tying her hair into a ponytail, which was extremely neat and capable.However, this appearance easily reminded Xu Cang of the photo of Xia Shuyue in the files of the Northern Europe Aurora Air Crash, and he felt very bad.

So Xu Cang pointed at Xia Shuyue's hair: "Would you like to let your hair down a little?"

"Huh?" Xia Shuyue was stunned for a moment, it was the first time she heard Xu Cang mention her hairstyle: "Is this ugly?"

"It's not unattractive." Xu Cang didn't know how to tell Xia Shuyue, and found a random reason: "It looks like the hairline is a bit high."

Xia Shuyue was stunned, touched her hair, and got a little angry: "I obviously don't have a high hairline."

Xia Shuyue's hair is not only quite thick, but also smooth and shiny. As a result, Xu Cang called her hairline high, and Xia Shuyue felt offended.

A trace of embarrassment flashed across Xu Cang's face, secretly thinking that sometimes his EQ was ridiculously low.He waved his hand: "Anyway, change your hairstyle a little bit, let the front hair go, and make shallow oblique bangs."

Xia Shuyue looked at Xu Cang suspiciously: "Since when did you care about this?"

Xu Cang coughed twice, but did not answer.

However, Xia Shuyue didn't ask, but it seemed that she accepted Xu Cang's proposal, even though the proposal seemed unreasonable.

"By the way, can you arrange an Airbus 320 theory teacher for me?" Xia Shuyue said, "I can learn the theory of Airbus aircraft in advance during my free time at Yanshan."

After Xia Shuyue graduated from the aviation school, she was going to Muhua Airlines to do the initial modification of the simulator, but she didn't need it for the theory stage, because Spring and Summer Airlines had Airbus theory instructors.Before, in order to prepare for the introduction of Airbus aircraft, Spring and Summer Airlines hired some Airbus theory instructors.

These are specialized ground theory instructors, and the price is not high.According to Xia Shuyue, she wants to teach one-on-one.However, this didn't matter to Xu Cang, what he was worried about was whether Xia Shuyue would be too tired.

There are already eight hours of flight training a day, adding theoretical training will not be too burdensome.

Of course, this theoretical training does not count in her file.Because only after Xia Shuyue got the private business instrument and completed the certificate renewal exam, the model theory training would be effective.The training that Xia Shuyue wants now is to let herself adapt in advance, so that the progress can be accelerated when the theoretical training is really done.

"Aren't you working too hard?"

"It's okay, there's nothing to do there anyway, after flying training and then listening to lectures, life will be more fulfilling."

Xu Cang pondered for a moment, thinking that it should be nothing, anyway, it is not a formal theoretical training on aircraft models.If you feel tired, then don’t listen or listen less, and you will be more free in your time arrangement.

"Okay, I'll talk to Feibiao." Xu Cang took out his mobile phone: "I'll make a call."

Not long after, a call was made to the flying standard center, which was answered by the training planner.

"Does the company still have redundant Airbus theory instructors?"

"Yes, the previous batch of Airbus theoretical training has just ended, and there are still plenty of instructors. Mr. Xu, do you have any instructions?"

"You find someone who is willing to stay in Yanshan, and there is a separate course on the basic theory of Airbus 320. The time may be longer, because the schedule may not be so fixed."

The training planner didn't turn his head for a while: "Mr. Xu, are you talking about Yanshan?"

"That's right, it's Yanshan Branch of Phoenix Aviation School to be precise, there is a student from our company who needs to take a class." Xu Cang said: "Of course, considering the teaching location, the salary can be increased appropriately, you can ask the opinions of those idle teachers. "

The training planner scratched his head: "Oh, I see. Excuse me, baby love, who is the student going to class?"

"Xia Shuyue."

The training planner wrote down Xia Shuyue's name on a list of students: "I know Mr. Xu, I will arrange it, and I will call you back when I have news."

"okay!"

After Xu Cang hung up the phone, the training planner frowned, with question marks all over his head: "Xia Shuyue, that female Fei?"

Although this incident was a bit outrageous, the training planner just had a good time, anyway, whatever Xu Cang ordered, he could do whatever he wanted.

After talking on the phone, the training planner yawned, because two or three o'clock is the easiest time to get sleepy.Smacking his lips, the training planner got up and went to the bathroom, washing his face to refresh himself.

Not long after the planner left, a middle-aged man walked in from outside the flying standard center and yelled inside: "The bureau asked why there is no list of students, who has a list of students?"

Previously, for the purpose of investigation, the bureau required Spring and Summer Airlines to submit a list of all flight personnel, including trainees.

However, the screening of students has never happened before, and the flight standard center of Spring and Summer Airlines has missed the list of students.

"The General Administration really wants to investigate the students, what can the students find out?" Someone in the flying standard complained.

"Who knows." The middle-aged man looked around: "Who has a list of students?"

At this time, an employee pointed to the seat of the training planner: "There is a list of students on the table over there."

"Ah? Oh!" The middle-aged man went in the direction he pointed, came to the training planner's table, saw the list of students on the table at a glance, and asked the people around him, "Can this be taken away?"

"Take it, there should be a backup." Someone said.

The middle-aged man then picked up the list: "Okay, then I will take it away, and when she comes back, you can tell her about it."

After finishing speaking, the middle-aged man put away the list and left the flying bid center slowly.
