"Is this something that a serious flight attendant can do?" Facing Song Xinyang in the security room of Heathrow Airport in the UK, Xu Cang frowned. The few protruding veins on his forehead undoubtedly showed Xu Cang's irritable heart.

.

Song Xinyang, who was standing by, was holding back a smile: "She probably doesn't want to be a serious flight attendant, right?"

"Even an individual can't do this. This is something a human being can do. Do you still feel a little ashamed?"

Song Xinyang looked at Xu Cang who was caught in the fire, and said with a smile: "Xu Cang, I didn't expect that your thoughts are quite conservative. Is it difficult to accept doing something like that on a plane?"

"What?" Xu Cang was startled, and his first move was to distance himself from Song Xinyang: "There's something wrong with you!"

Song Xinyang knew that Xu Cang had misunderstood something. He held his forehead and waved his hand quickly: "I didn't! I just said that although this kind of thing is not common, it is definitely not uncommon. Some flight attendants have wrong intentions and specifically target

Passengers boarding first class or business class on international flights, you just don’t know.”

"What the fuck?" Xu Cang rubbed his temples. This trip to the UK was really an eye-opener for Xu Cang.

Yes, Song Xinyang saw clearly that Xu Cang was very conservative and traditional in matters concerning men and women. From a rational and logical point of view, Xu Cang could understand Song Xinyang's words. After all, he could fly first class and business class internationally.

Those with relatively good financial capabilities are generally considered high-quality customers for certain services.

However, when Xu Cang met him, all three views were shattered.

"She should know the passenger information and mistook you for our executive." Song Xinyang smiled even brighter: "I just looked at the flight attendant. It was delicious. Why not just follow the trend?"

Xu Cang's face suddenly turned cold: "Song Xinyang, I am not a casual person. Don't judge me with your dirty thoughts."

"Yo ho, I didn't realize that you are so young and your thoughts are still as if they were just dug out."

Xu Cang snorted and said no more. If we have different paths, we will not work together!

The British policeman in the guard room saw that Xu Cang and Song Xinyang had been talking in Chinese, but he couldn't understand them, so he strongly asked Xu Cang and Song Xinyang to only communicate in English, not in a language he didn't understand.

However, Song Xinyang seemed to have come prepared. He lowered his head and whispered to the police for a moment. Then, the police made a phone call, and within a quarter of an hour, Xu Cang was able to leave.

"Kingfisher Airlines has had a big financial problem recently, which has also affected its employees, so some flight attendants have started to make extra money." Song Xinyang explained: "But don't mention it, this extra money is much more than what they earn from their own jobs.

.”

Song Xinyang was talking to himself, and he didn't obediently shut his mouth until he caught a glimpse of Xu Cang's livid profile.

After walking for a while, Xu Cang, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke: "Is the situation of Kingfisher Airlines in a bad situation?"

"Isn't it? Otherwise, why would those flight attendants want to make extra money?" Song Xinyang didn't think much about Xu Cang's words, and just asked Xu Cang casually.

Xu Cang continued to ask: "How could it lead to the current situation?"

"Are you talking about Kingfisher Airlines?" Song Xinyang really knows some inside information: "Kingfisher Airlines follows a similar path to your company. At the beginning, it focused on intra-European routes and developed very fast. However, maybe,

It was too smooth in the early stage, and Kingfisher Airlines subsequently expanded aggressively. As a result, it soon hit the ceiling of the mid- to low-end market, resulting in extremely overcapacity. Kingfisher Airlines now has a total of 60 aircraft, but it can maintain a relatively normal

The utilization rate is only one-third.”

"If airplanes don't fly, then they will lose money. Forty planes are lying around all the time, and another twenty planes are lying down intermittently. Who can bear it?"

"It shouldn't be. Is the ceiling of Europe's mid-to-low-end market so low?" In Xu Cang's opinion, Europe's mid-to-low-end market should be quite huge.

The area of ​​Europe is not too big, and the regional Boeing 737 or Airbus 320 is just right. To be honest, the living standards in Europe are indeed very high, but this does not mean that there is no market for the mid- to low-end. After all, poverty is relative.

The majority of civilians still prefer to choose low-cost airlines with higher cost-effectiveness.

In addition, European civil aviation developed early. Flying there is not too fashionable and has a broad mass base. Therefore, as long as prices come down, the mid- to low-end market will definitely be quite broad. How can we continue to do so?

Not familiar with Kingfisher Airlines?

"Who knows?"

Song Xinyang was too lazy to care about Kingfisher Airlines, but Xu Cang was deep in thought. He vaguely remembered that the ownership of Kingfisher Airlines had never changed, which meant that Kingfisher Airlines had overcome this huge crisis on its own.

According to Song Xinyang, Kingfisher Airlines is almost dead. Due to its brutal expansion, it has taken too long a step and is in trouble. With such an ugly aircraft utilization rate, it is strange that it can turn around.

But according to historical development, Kingfisher Airlines really turned around and soared into the sky. What factors allowed Kingfisher Airlines to survive this crisis?

Without the injection of other capital, relying on Kingfisher Airlines to survive on its own? That shouldn’t be the case!

"What happened next?" Xu Cang muttered.

Song Xinyang heard Xu Cang mutter: "What did you say?"

"Nothing." Xu Cang waved his hand.

I heard from Song Xinyang that the flight attendant was taken away by the police. Looking at this, when this matter is exposed, Kingfisher Airlines will be involved in a public controversy again.

In this matter, Xu Cang's privacy will be respected, which makes Xu Cang very satisfied.

Originally, Xu Cang planned to walk around, but all he could think about was Kingfisher Airlines. There was nothing he could do about it, Kingfisher Airlines was too delicious.

Now Spring and Summer Airlines just don’t have enough planes, and Kingfisher Airlines does have excess capacity, and the two sides can completely equalize it. Of course, the current contradiction between Spring and Summer Airlines in the number of cabin crew is not prominent enough. However, if Kingfisher Airlines evens out its capacity

When planes arrive, there will be many more planes at once, and Spring and Summer Airlines will not have enough manpower.

However, if you really reach that point, you can temporarily borrow the crew of Kingfisher Airlines. However, due to some objective factors, the actual labor cost of foreign personnel is higher than that of local pilots. Of course, that is just to make more money.

Few problems.

Also, Xu Cang is aware of the future development of Kingfisher Airlines. Based on its pure investment attributes, Kingfisher Airlines is definitely a potential stock with strong stamina.

Finally, from a long-term perspective, if Kingfisher Airlines can be acquired, it will be equivalent to having a foothold in Europe, which will facilitate Xu Cang to open up the market in Europe in the future.

Kingfisher Airlines is indeed a very suitable choice. It is not very big, it is currently at a low point, and the price is cheap, but it is not the type that will be ruined and will make a comeback in the future.

But Xu Cang's money was to acquire Asiana Airlines. For this reason, Xu Cang had set up a stage. If he gave up, Xu Cang would become a clown.

Moreover, Xu Cang's platform is not ordinary. He also plans to take advantage of this opportunity to harvest Korean Air. If he gives up midway, the loss will be considerable.

Is it Kingfisher Airlines or Asiana Airlines?

This is a huge and distressing problem!

Originally, he wanted to enjoy the British scenery happily, but now he was so troubled that Xu Cang had no intention of going out to play anymore.

After this interest disappeared, Xu Cang's life in the UK was like a year. Perhaps aware of Xu Cang's torturous experience, Song Xinyang removed the middle game content with Xu Cang's consent and signed the agreement in advance.

process.

As Song Xinyang said, the person who signed the agreement with Xu Cang was the CEO of Luo Luo. However, the CEO of Luo Luo looked like an iceberg. When you get along with him, you can feel the warmth even from a distance.

Reject the coldness thousands of miles away.

However, the content of the agreement had been finalized before, and coming here this time was just a literal signing without any extra content. As a result, Xu Cang traveled half the world to come here and actually took less than five minutes to do the work.

Luo Luo's CEO left after signing the signature. Xu Cang originally looked at the CEO's leaving figure, put away his own agreement, and glanced at Song Xinyang who had not left yet: "Your leadership arrogance is unparalleled.

It’s still big.”

Song Xinyang could tell that Xu Cang was not angry, he was just teasing, and he even joked: "He's just like this, and not many people in the company like him. By the way, what's wrong with you? All the original entertainment projects have been cancelled."

,not in the mood?"

"If you don't get what you ask for, naturally you are not in the mood." When Song Xinyang mentioned this, Xu Cang immediately thought of Kingfisher Airlines again.

In the past two days, Xu Cang specifically inquired about the situation of Kingfisher Airlines. Three years ago, Kingfisher Airlines had less than twenty aircraft. Now it has tripled, but its market value has not increased compared to three years ago, but has declined.

It’s less than half of what it was originally, which is simply outrageous.

Moreover, it seems that no one is willing to take over Kingfisher Airlines, which makes Kingfisher Airlines quite embarrassed. It can only watch its market value disappear day by day.

Xu Cang has 10,000 offers to take over Kingfisher Airlines, but he has no money.

"What you ask for but don't get? If this is your trouble, then you are not asking for trouble?"

Just as he was sighing and full of regrets, a man's voice suddenly came from outside the conference room. Soon, Luo Luo's chief engineer Qiao quickly walked in. He saw Xu Cang at a glance and extended his right hand to Xu Cang like a gentleman.

: "Jonathan Meyers, Rolls-Royce's chief engineer, you can just call me Joe."

Looking at the polite technical boss in front of him, Xu Cang still shook Qiao's hand: "Xu Cang! This is our first meeting!"

The two of them quickly parted their hands. Qiao, who was dressed in casual clothes, pulled up a chair and sat down. At the same time, he motioned for Xu Cang to sit down as well. It seemed that he had a lot to talk about.

Not only was Xu Cang a little confused about the situation, to be honest, even Song Xinyang didn't know what Qiao was going to do. There seemed to be no relevant process arrangements. However, Qiao was the head of Luoluo's technical department and held a high position. What did he want to do?

, Song Xinyang is not easy to stop.

Xu Cang had nothing to do anyway, so he could just talk if he wanted to. He actually found a seat next to Qiao and sat down.

"Mr. Xu, it seems that you encountered some unpleasant things when you came to England." Qiao smiled first.

Song Xinyang was afraid of making Xu Cang unhappy, so he just wanted to interrupt, but Xu Cang waved his hand: "That matter is nothing, it's mainly another matter. Forget it, I won't talk about that matter, it's very annoying."

Xu Cang suppressed the restlessness in his heart: "The chief engineer seems to have something important to tell me?"

"It's not an important matter. I just want to ask Mr. Xu what are his subsequent plans if he successfully completes the Trent 1000 test?"

"Haven't you all guessed it?" Xu Cang said bluntly: "Or do you foreigners also like to pretend to be confused?"

"Hahaha, Mr. Xu is still so free and easy." Qiao didn't pay much attention to the word "foreigner". Instead, he smiled very happily: "Mr. Xu's great ambitions are naturally worthy of admiration. However, the aero-engine thing involves

In many aspects, it cannot be accomplished with passion alone.”

Xu Cang had already smelled something unusual: "What do you mean?"

"Mr. Xu, don't be so nervous. I'm here with sincerity." Qiao said very sincerely: "If we can cooperate happily in the subsequent Trent 1000 test, it will undoubtedly mean that both of us can further cooperate.
