"Brother Lu, do you know the director of the National University Aviation Strategy Department?" Xu Cang said hurriedly.

Lu Jinghua on the other end of the phone said angrily: "I am the department leader of a small company. Guoda Airlines is the number one in the country. The head of the strategy department is already at the decision-making level. I don't know how many levels behind him. Where am I?"

Do you recognize it? No, aren’t you at Shandong Airlines? Why did you ask about the director of National University’s Aviation Strategy Department?”

"I fucking want to know too." Xu Cang himself was speechless, so he recounted a series of things that had just happened when Yi Feng came in, and finally asked worriedly: "He tore up my contract and said he wanted to

I am staying with Shandong Airlines, is this true?”

After waiting for a while, Lu Jinghua said: "If we talk about contracts alone, our flight department still has another one, so it actually has no impact if he tears up the Shandong Airlines contract."

"It turned out to be a trick." Xu Cang's whole body relaxed. Yi Feng's solemn look just now really frightened Xu Cang: "It's okay if it doesn't have any impact. Okay, let's not talk anymore. I'm sorry.

Got it!"

"Wait!" Just when Xu Cang was about to hang up, Lu Jinghua suddenly stopped him: "Don't hang up yet."

Xu Cang snorted: "What's wrong?"

"I thought about it, and we do still have a contract. But when your secondment period ends and you want to transfer the working relationship back to Blue Sky Airlines, you still need Guoda Airlines to sign. What if they don't sign?"

"I" Xu Cang was stunned and almost cursed: "Well, let's do this first, I'll think of a solution first."

After saying that, Xu Cang hung up the phone directly.

As soon as he hung up the phone, Xu Cang's first thought was to ask the bureau to intervene. However, the bureau generally would not intervene in this kind of personnel transfer within the company, and he did not want to make it difficult for Di Qingquan or his master Chen Xiangdong.

Just when Xu Cang was feeling agitated, he suddenly caught a glimpse of Xiantong on the stage looking towards him.

"Xu Cang, do you really want to participate in the 777 test flight?" Xiantong was sitting on the edge of the stage. He didn't care whether the ground was dirty or not, but asked Xu Cang in a daze.

Xu Cang did not deny it, but nodded: "It should be so."

"That's it!" Xiantong sighed, looking extremely tired: "Okay! Xu Cang, I admit defeat this time, and I will sign it for you. And, as I said before, as long as I can do it later

Yes, I can help you with something."

Xu Cang was busy shaking his head like a rattle: "No, no!"

Xiantong is old and frail. How dare Xu Cang trouble him? If something happens along the way, it will be too late for him to regret it.

Xu Cang was originally just worried about Xiantong's health, but Xiantong snorted and his eyes were as wide as bells: "Do you think I am in my old age and useless?"

Xu Cangang wanted to deny it, but suddenly, an idea popped into his mind and he asked tentatively: "Teacher, if I ask you to teach aircraft model theory in another company in the future, is it okay?"

"Huh?" Xiantong was startled, and then said: "If I want to leave, China Airlines will definitely not be in trouble. But where do you want me to go, this way?"

"No, no!" Xu Cang said with a smile: "That airline doesn't exist yet, but it will in the future. Teacher Xian just needs to remember the promise he made to me."

Xiantong squinted his eyes and took a deep look at Xu Cang. Suddenly he laughed loudly: "Okay, okay! But you have to hurry up. With my body and bones, who knows when I will die, then I will have to bear the responsibility for breaking my promise."

reputation."

At this moment, the female teacher came over slowly, holding the teaching diary in her hand and handing it to Xu Cang: "We have signed it, you can go back. The teacher is tired today."

"Well!" Xu Cang gratefully took the teaching diary: "Then I'll leave first."

Xiantong waved his hand weakly: "Go, I hope we can meet again in the future."

Xu Cang saluted Xian Tong, and then left first. Taking the teaching diary, Xu Cang went directly to Feibiao's office and handed it to the female Feibiao employee just now.

The female employee looked at the signatures of the three teachers on the teaching diary, and then recalled the scene where Xu Cang asked Xiantong back, and she suddenly became a little distracted.

"Hello, is there no problem with this?" Xu Cang called softly.

The female employee blushed: "No, no, no problem. By the way, our Feibiao has not finished the test papers yet. When we do, we will notify you as soon as possible, okay?"

"Oh, that's it. That's okay. Sorry." When the test paper didn't come out, Xu Cang could only wait.

After everything was settled, Xu Cang left the Shandong Airlines base building with a little irritability. As soon as he left the base gate, he bumped into a slightly rickety figure.

The man was stunned for a moment when he saw Xu Cang coming out, and then a smile appeared on his withered face: "Little friend, what a coincidence."

Xu Cang bent down slightly: "Mr. Chen Chen?"

The visitor turned out to be Chen Jinwu, whom he had met once before.

At this time, Ma Cheng's hearty laughter was echoing on the rooftop of the Muhua Airlines base.

"Old Liu, did you know? Boeing just informed us that the price of the entire aircraft will drop by 10% from now on, and the price of subsequent maintenance and aviation materials will also drop accordingly, up to 5%, hahahaha." Ma.

Cheng held the coffee with a smile on his face: "So, this is God Bless Muhua. The civil aviation market will be liberalized soon, and more aircraft will definitely be purchased in the future. After this calculation, we can save a lot in the future.

Where’s the money?”

Take a 737-800 with normal configuration as an example. The price of the whole aircraft is about 200 million. One aircraft alone can cost almost 20 million less than before. This does not include subsequent maintenance and purchase of aviation materials.

Liu Minxue, who was next to Ma Cheng, didn't look so happy, but said calmly: "I heard that the country has agreed to establish a research and development base for domestically produced large aircraft in Shanghai. Our company seems to have invested a lot of money."

"Just right!" Ma Chengzhi said proudly: "Originally, I had no interest in that large domestic aircraft. That thing is simply a bottomless pit. Since we are state-owned enterprises, we are forced to invest money in it. Boeing and Airbus are not all ready-made.

Is it a good airplane? Why spend a lot of money to develop it yourself?"

Liu Minxue glanced at Ma Cheng: "What if Airbus and Boeing join forces to jam us in the future?"

"I said, Lao Liu, you have been in management after all, what nonsense are you talking about? Now we are in globalized free trade, how can it hinder us." Ma Cheng didn't care at all: "Boeing has just cut its price now, that

Let’s forget about the large domestically produced aircraft. Just invest a little money and spend some time on it.”

"But I heard that Guoda Airlines invested a lot of money this time." Liu Minxue said suddenly.

Ma Cheng pouted: "That's why they have the worst profits among the three major airlines. Just like their routes are spread everywhere, there is nothing good to fly to in the northwest, they just lose money."

"But have you ever thought about why Guoda Airlines flies those routes? Doesn't their marketing department do analysis on revenue expectations? Doesn't it know that those northwest routes will lose money?" Liu Minxue sighed, faintly.

He asked a question that struck a chord: "Or do you think our three major airlines are just airlines, and we only look at profits?"

This sentence directly hit Ma Cheng's heart. One second he was still smiling, and the next second he suddenly turned cold. The two were silent for a long time, and finally Ma Cheng drank the remaining coffee in one gulp, leaving the paper cup empty.

He threw it into the trash can next to him and walked away with a few words.

"I don't know what you're talking about."

Xu Cang and Chen Jinwu were sitting together on a stone bench in the small garden of the Shandong Airlines base. It had only been a few months since he first met Chen Jinwu at Blue Sky Airlines, but how could Xu Cang feel that so much time had passed?

"I heard that my little friend has done something big recently?" Chen Jinwu said with a smile.

Xu Cang scratched his head in embarrassment: "No matter where you are, it's just a matter of hands."

"It takes just a little effort to save millions of lives." Chen Jinwu praised: "This man has done meritorious deeds, so there is no need to hide it."

"Really?" In front of Chen Jinwu, Xu Cang still looked a little reserved, like a nervous primary school student: "But, Mr. Chen, why are you here?"

"Me!" Chen Jinwu suddenly patted Xu Cang on the shoulder: "Do you still remember that you told me to apply for transfer to Shanghai Airlines? Later, I followed your suggestion and applied. Unexpectedly, a few days ago,

The country has approved the development of large aircraft, but Shangfei has taken the lead.

Yes, I have caught up. I will have to be stationed in Shanghai in the future, and I just happened to receive an appointment from Hanking. I heard that you are here, and there happened to be a kid who was coming over, so I stopped by.

I’ll say goodbye to you, thank you, and go to Shanghai later.”

"So that's it." Xu Cang asked cautiously: "Mr. Chen, does our large aircraft development project have a name?"

"Huh?" Chen Jinwu didn't expect Xu Cang to ask directly.

Xu Cang looked at Chen Jinwu's expression and thought he had encountered a secret, so he hurriedly said: "I'm just asking casually. If it's inconvenient, you don't have to tell me."

"It's not inconvenient, but there's really nothing to say." Chen Jinwu sighed: "As you know, our domestic large aircraft are basically starting from scratch. Now there are only some framework things, even the name of the aircraft.

It’s not decided yet.”

Xu Cang nodded. This is consistent with the history of the C919 he remembered. Without his intervention, both the C919 and the development unit, COMAC, would have to wait several years before they appeared. This is also true.

This means that Mr. Chen will have to save for several years when he goes to Shanghai this time!

The road to the development of domestically produced large aircraft is really bumpy. If I remember correctly, Mr. Chen should be going to Shanghai Aircraft Design Institute. From then on, this unit will become the backbone of COMAC.

There's just one thing Xu Cang doesn't quite understand. If we start the development of domestically produced large aircraft now, even if the country's experience with large aircraft is completely blank, it won't mean that there will be no accumulation at all in several years.

Because according to historical development, the C919 project was established eight years later. Why was the C919 only completed after eight years? Mr. Chen was called to Shanghai this time and only completed a project after eight years of hard work. This obviously makes no sense.

ah?

Did something happen during these eight years that interrupted the development of large aircraft?

"My little friend, do you still remember our agreement before?" Chen Jinwu suddenly asked.

Xu Cangguang was thinking about other things and was a little absent-minded for a moment. He came back to his senses after Chen Jinwu shouted again, and immediately said: "Of course I remember."

Chen Jinwu smiled and nodded: "At that time, I went to the southwest to deal with the ARJ21 matter. I just wanted to pick up a third hospital with my little friend. I didn't expect to meet such a young hero. I still said what I said before, everything is done voluntarily, don't do anything.

Any burden."

From Chen Jinwu's cloudy but determined eyes, Xu Cang saw sincerity. The words he just said were not pretentious, but Chen Jinwu's sincere hope that Xu Cang would follow his inner thoughts.

Xu Cang nodded heavily. Seeing this, Chen Jinwu laughed heartily: "That's right! Children of your age should enjoy life. If you are forced to bear the pressure of your family and country unwillingly, that's it.

We old guys have no ability anymore."

Seeing how happy Chen Jinwu was, Xu Cang also laughed.

Suddenly, Chen Jinwu's cell phone rang, and he picked it up and answered it. However, due to the strong wind, it was difficult to hear clearly. After thinking about it, Chen Jinwu turned on the speakerphone directly, and then said to the cell phone: "Go ahead, now
