Return to 2000: Captain of the Great Powers

Chapter 388 Repay Your Gratitude!Top Alpine estate for a dollar!
"You thought of this link when you chose to build Jianchuan Second Airport?"

"Jianchuan Airport itself has many problems. The second airport is imperative. In terms of airport construction, it is the scope of responsibility of Jianchuan Urban Investment. They are bearing the pressure." Xu Cang said: "I'm sure Now Jianchuan City Investment absolutely does not have the money to build the second airport.”

Yi Feng whispered: "I always thought that you wanted to invest in the second airport to completely occupy it in the early stage."

"This is actually meaningless." Xu Cang said: "We already have the absolute initiative in Jianchuan, why invest more than 100 billion to build a new airport in order to consolidate this initiative, the pay and reward itself are unequal of."

"So, from the very beginning, you just wanted to let Jianchuan Chengtou mediate the electronic payment license?"

"That's right." Xu Cang admitted: "Besides, the location problem of Jianchuan Airport itself has been exposed more and more recently. Jianchuan City Investment will seriously consider my opinion. In addition, on this matter, I still have Can get rid of some nasty little flies by the way."

"Little fly, who?"

Xu Cang smiled and said, "It's nothing, I should get the news right away. Have you booked the air ticket for me yet?"

"Well, it's done. On the night of September 737th local time in Japan, the flight to the Southwest of the United States." Yi Feng said: "However, there is no direct flight to the United States that day, and it needs to stop in Guam. The departure from Tokyo is A 747, after landing in Guam, stopped at Guam Airport for two and a half hours, and then took another [-] to San Francisco."

"There is still a stop." Xu Cang took a deep breath, which made him not very happy. After all, flying across the Pacific Ocean is already very tiring. If you stop in Guam, it is estimated that the total time will exceed fifteen hours. I can't take it anymore.

"No way, Pratt & Whitney is in a hurry, so that's the only way to do it on September [-]th. Not to mention the direct flight, even if it is a stopover, there is only one other morning flight. However, you are not in the morning Do you want to attend that hearing? I’m sure you won’t be able to make it.” Yi Feng actually felt uncomfortable with Puhui’s decision: “Puhui is urging people to reincarnate. You have to attend the hearing this morning. , take a little rest, I will fly to the United States at night, and there is no rest time at all.”

"The Rolls-Royce Trent 1000 is hanging overhead. How can their PW4000-112 engine be compared to the Trent 1000? When did Boeing make up its mind to change the power option of the 787 to the Trent 1000? Not surprising. The 787 project is still under development, and Pratt & Whitney still has a little time. If there is a major breakthrough in the new engine in a short period of time, then the 787 project should still be able to survive."

"However, didn't you say that the PW8000 engine would never succeed?"

"At this stage, Pratt & Whitney's technology accumulation cannot solve the surge problem derived from the variable speed of low-pressure fans, unless they can immediately obtain the three-rotor technology to fundamentally solve the surge problem." Xu Cang said with a smile: "Of course, maybe seven or eight years later, they have accumulated enough technology, even if they use double rotors, they can still solve it."

"Then you still go to take part in the test flight?" Yi Feng asked anxiously, "Isn't this just looking for danger for yourself?"

"It's okay, if you don't try it, how can you make Pratt & Whitney think that the variable speed engine is impossible to succeed at this stage? Otherwise, how can you make Pratt & Whitney willing to sell the variable speed planetary gear technology?"

Pratt & Whitney still has high expectations for variable-speed engines, so even without the provocation of GM's CEO, there is a high probability that it will not easily sell planetary gear technology.This time Xu Cang played with Pratt & Whitney to let Pratt & Whitney understand the prospects of variable speed engines at this stage. Once Pratt & Whitney found that variable speed engines had no hope in the future, it would be logical to sell planetary gear technology.

In fact, the first flight of a real variable-speed engine is not until ten years away, and it is still too early for Pratt & Whitney to start this project at this point.If there is no Xu Cang, Pratt & Whitney will always have no confidence, then let this project be shelved, wait for time and technology to accumulate, and wait for several years before restarting this project is the most perfect.

Why did Xu Cang offer to help Pratt & Whitney fly the PW8000?It is to let Pratt & Whitney start this project at a missed opportunity when the technology accumulation is obviously insufficient. As long as the project fails, Pratt & Whitney will fall into great confusion and suspicion. At this time, it will be much easier to purchase planetary gear technology at a relatively high price. up.

Yi Feng understands the truth, but in the final analysis it is still the same sentence: "Xu Cang, no matter what you say, you still have to pay attention to safety."

"It's natural." This time, it's for fun, not to risk your life. It's completely different from Luo Luo's cooperation last time. During the test flight, if something is wrong, Xu Cang will naturally close it in time. Hand: "By the way, maybe you have to help me buy another plane ticket."

"Huh? Where did you go, just like you, to the United States." Yi Feng asked strangely, "Who?"

"Xia Shuyue, she is going to the United States with me." Xu Cang explained: "I just received the ground test documents for PW8000. This engine has obvious engine vibration. Although I have obtained the flight test certificate, I still Don’t worry. I’m not worried about the engine vibration, but I’m worried about the engine vibration extending to the fuselage. You know, the time in Europe gave me a shadow about the fuselage breaking, but there is no instrument to test the integrity of the fuselage, so I need Xia Shu Moon with me."

Yi Feng couldn't figure it out: "Can Xia Shuyue know when the body is about to break?"

"That's what it means."

"No." The question mark on Yi Feng's head: "What's the reason?"

"Her hearing is very good." Xu Cang said: "In the special relationship with her several times before, she can hear the small and distorted voice of the body earlier and more clearly than me."

Yi Feng fell into silence for a while. It seemed a bit fantastic to judge the breakage of the fuselage by hearing, but it seemed a lot more believable from Xu Cang's mouth.

However, Xu Cang definitely doesn't talk nonsense, the most direct thing is the time he prepared to land on Tianshan Mountain a long time ago.Due to the wrong operation of the captain, the plane was under a huge load and was on the verge of disintegration. It was Xia Shuyue, who was a trainee flight attendant at the time, who first heard the twisting movement of the fuselage and reported it to the cockpit.

For this reason, Xia Shuyue was rewarded afterwards.

Not only in the alternate landing on Tianshan Mountain, Xia Shuyue also reacted to the rupture of the body earlier than Xu Cang in the 1566 incident.

Just like what Xu Cang said before, he didn't go to risk his life this time, and it must be to ensure safety.Xu Cang is confident that some other aircraft failures can be solved, but if the fuselage breaks, Xu Cang feels that it is extremely dangerous. At least the large wing of the plane in Europe broke, and Xu Cang does not want to experience it again.

"Is that so, does that mean that Xia Shuyue will also take part in the test flight?"

"Yes, she doesn't need to do other things, just prevent the possibility of the fuselage breaking."

Yi Feng nodded: "Understood, I will fix it for her, have you contacted her yet?"

"Not yet, but she should agree, you can go directly to apply, and her visa and so on." Xu Cang thought of something: "By the way, what time is the plane ticket you booked for me? of?"

"What time, hiss, it seems to be after ten o'clock in the evening?" Yi Feng scratched his head: "I don't remember clearly, flight 3102 in the Southwest of the United States, if you want to know, I can go to confirm."

"Ten o'clock, no need, this is indeed a good time."

"Why? Is this time okay? Why do I feel bad?"

"It's nothing, that's it, hang up."

The voice fell, and the phone hung up, Yi Feng muttered: "What's so good about ten o'clock in the evening?"

However, Xu Cang's brain circuit has always been very strange, and he can't understand it at all without making a few detours.Fortunately, it was just a ticket, Yi Feng felt that there should be nothing worth pondering.

"Hey, this person really has a lot of eyes." Putting away the phone, Yi Feng looked at Lu Jinghua who looked strange in front of him: "What's wrong?"

"Xu Cang?"

"That's right." Yi Feng drank the rest of the coffee in one gulp: "Let's go, it's meaningless to stay here. President Qin's plan will continue to advance, and that's Xu Cang's decision."

Lu Jinghua's face became much calmer now: "If Xu Cang said, then I have nothing to object to, okay, I will communicate with the General Administration, and try to carry it out in a peaceful way as possible."

Lu Jinghua is quite convinced of Xu Cang, as long as Xu Cang thinks it is okay, no matter how outrageous it is, Lu Jinghua will only think that he is outrageous, not that Xu Cang is wrong.

Yi Feng found a trash can to throw away the paper cups, and in a blink of an eye Lu Jinghua had already left, smacking his lips, Yi Feng heaved a sigh of relief, he had to go to Xianchi later.Even Yi Feng, he is not willing to face Gong Yue.

Gong Yue is a generation higher than himself in "seniority", and the conversation in the near future will not be very pleasant.

However, he brought a big gift with him, presumably Gong Yue should give himself a little face.

With a slightly uneasy mind, Yi Feng left the lounge slowly, but just after he went out, he received a call from the guard room saying that a European was looking for Xu Cang.

Now that Xu Cang is not here, and Qin Xin is temporarily away from the headquarters due to other matters, it is naturally postponed to find the third Yi Feng.

"What's his name?"

"It seems to be Byron Warwick." The person in the reception room outside the door said, "I said that I met Mr. Xu in Europe."

"Have you met in Europe?" Yi Feng pondered: "That time with Luo Luo?"

However, Yi Feng felt like he had heard the name Byron Warwick before.

"Did he say he was looking for Xu Cang for something?"

"Gifts." The guard said: "He said he would give Mr. Xu a big gift. However, I didn't see him mention anything, and he didn't follow anyone behind. Mr. Yi, he is in the reception room now, and he wants to let him come in?"

Yi Feng thought for a while: "Let him in, just bring him to my office."

After speaking, Yi Feng wondered whether to call Xu Cang again, hesitated for a while, and still dialed the number, but the call was terminated as soon as it rang.

"Hang me up?" Yi Feng was taken aback for a moment, and didn't call again, guessing that Xu Cang had something to do and it was inconvenient to answer the phone.

However, it's nothing. First, let's hear what kind of gift this Byron Warwick brought here.

About 5 minutes later, at the door of Yi Feng's office, the guard led a white man into the room.This man was tall, dressed in a plaid suit, combed his hair meticulously, and wore a pair of black-rimmed glasses. He looked like a typical elite.

However, after seeing this Byron Warwick, Yi Feng was sure that he did not know this unexpected guest.

However, due courtesy is still necessary. After Byron Warwick arrived, Yi Feng stood up and greeted him, and stretched out his hand: "Hello, Mr. Warwick, I am Yi Feng."

"Mr. Yi, first time meeting." Byron Warwick responded in Chinese, shook hands with Yi Feng, and scanned the office: "I heard that Mr. Xu Cang is not here?"

Yi Feng nodded: "Xu Cang is in Japan now."

"Japan?" Byron Warwick frowned: "I don't know if I will come back in the near future?"

"If there are no accidents, no! He will be in Japan for the next few days. Even after the incident in Japan is over, he will go to the United States immediately and will not return to China in the short term." Yi Feng smiled standardizedly: " I wonder why Mr. Warwick is looking for Xu Cang?"

When Byron Warwick heard the news that Xu Cang would not return to China in a short time, he immediately showed a look of disappointment: "Then the timing of my visit is very unfortunate."

Yi Feng saw that Byron Warwick suddenly let out a light sigh, as if he had thought of something: "Mr. Warwick, I know that there is a famous human rights lawyer in Europe, it seems that his name is Byron Warwick, I don't know. "

"Hahaha, it's just me. It's just a small reputation, not worth mentioning." Byron Warwick laughed.

Yi Feng gasped, this reputation is not worth mentioning.Byron Warwick is almost the most popular barrister in Europe, and the legal departments of many top giants are coveting this Byron Warwick.

However, Byron Warwick has little interest in making money, and is extremely keen on safeguarding the human rights of the middle and lower classes, so he has a great reputation among the European people.

Yi Feng didn't know much about the legal world, but even so, he probably knew about Byron Warwick.However, he never expected that the barrister would come here, so he didn't contact him immediately.

"Mr. Warwick, it is better to be famous than to meet and admire him for a long time."

For this top barrister, Yi Feng still has great respect, not only for Byron Warwick's charitable behavior on human rights issues, but also for practical interests.

A barrister really has the ability to turn black into white. In modern society, this ability is extremely terrifying.

If Byron Warwick can work at Spring Airlines, then at least in terms of legal issues, Spring Airlines is basically "Pizza Hut".

However, this kind of thing is just thinking about it, and it is a complete "fantasy time".

Byron Warwick waved his hand: "Mr. Yi, you are welcome. I have some business to find Mr. Xu Cang. I don't know where he is in Japan now. I can go to him."

"Mr. Warwick, Xu Cang has something important to do in Japan now, I think it's better not to disturb him." Yi Feng said seriously: "I heard from the guard before that Mr. Warwick met Xu Cang in Europe, I don't know What time is it?"

"Mr. Xu landed a Boeing 777 with a broken wing in Europe. Unfortunately, my younger brother was on that plane."

"Oh oh oh, so it is like this." Yi Feng suddenly realized: "Then Mr. Warwick is here this time?"

"I also said it when I came here just now. Naturally, it's a gift, a big gift." As he spoke, Byron Warwick had a smile on his face: "I don't know if Mr. Yi knows about the Obiro Manor in the Alps .”

"Obiro Manor, the top manor in the ski resort?" Yi Feng frowned, thinking of something: "If I remember correctly, after Xu Cang dealt with the broken wing in Europe, he also carried out an air flight. rescue, the destination is Obiro Manor, right?"

"That's right, it's the Obilo Manor." Byron Warwick nodded: "The big gift this time is that manor. If possible, I hope Mr. Xu Cang can accept the Obilo Manor."

"This..." Yi Feng was stunned, and his brain went blank for a short time: "Obiro Manor, that is a world-renowned top manor. We have no plans to acquire it for the time being."

Obiro Manor occupies the largest flat land on the mountainside of the Alps. The location is extremely good, and it is adjacent to a huge private ski resort. Not only is the scenery excellent, but it is also the preferred ski resort for many rich people. It is an asset that can make money lying down.

Such a manor has a price but no market, and it may not be sold if the money is given.Moreover, even if it is willing to sell, it will definitely be a sky-high price.Although Xu Cang has a lot of assets and a lot of income now, he makes a lot of money and spends a lot, but he has no money to take over the Obiro Manor.

However, this proposal also made Yi Feng very greedy.

If you can win the Obiro Manor, the money will come in a rush.

"Because of the money?" laughed Byron Warwick.

"Cough, cough, cough." Yi Feng cleared his throat: "Mr. Warwick laughed at me. I'm really ashamed."

Byron Warwick laughed and said: "It's okay, it won't cost a lot of money."

"No, no, it still costs some money." Yi Feng wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"It really doesn't cost much." Byron Warwick said with a smile: "In Europe, Mr. Xu once accepted one dollar from me as a reward for his rescue. Now I don't know Xu Cang Do you still have that one dollar, sir?"

Yi Feng frowned: "Mr. Warwick, why are you mentioning this?"

Byron Warwick raised a finger: "To buy Obiro Manor, all you need is that one-dollar note."
