Chapter 982: Qantas rewards

When the two cars drove down to the main building of the Qantas Headquarters office park, Tony, the senior vice president of Qantas' handling of the accident, had already waited in the downstairs in advance, which shows that Qantas attaches importance to Xia Ruofei.
When Tony saw the Mercedes-Benz car sent out by the company and followed a luxurious custom version of Bentley, he couldn’t help but stunned.
Soon the car was quite stable. Tony stepped up and found that Xia Ruofei came down from the Bentley car in the back. He stepped in a small amount and then quickly adjusted his direction and hurried to Xia Ruofei.
"Mr. Xia, welcome to Qantas headquarters!" Tony asked with a warm smile on his face. "How have you been in Australia these days?"

Very good! The scenery in Australia is very charming!
Xia Ruofei replied with a smile in skilled English.
At this time, Tang Haotian and Li Yifu also got off the car respectively. Tony, who was shaking hands with Xia Rufei, could not help but stagnate. Some could not believe his eyes.
Tang Haotian is a famous rich man in Australia. Especially the business people have almost no knowledge of him. Tony and Tang Haotian have also had several relationships.
Although Tony is also an executive of Qantas, the Qantas is a national airline. In a strict sense, Tony is only a senior employee and belongs to the
state-owned enterprise leader
. Of course, his salary is definitely higher than that of the average civil servant. Much higher.
The Meiya Group, which does not lose Qantas, is the absolute holding company of Tang Haotian.
In contrast, Tony and Don Juan are not naturally a level.
Tony didn't think that Xia Ruofei was so close to Tang Haotian, even attending a press conference, he would be accompanied by Tang Haotian.
Of course, Tony, like his secretary, did not recognize Li Yifu, who was in the United States, or he would be surprised.
Tony quickly shook hands with Xia Ruofei, and quickly turned to Tang Haotian, said with a smile: "Mr. Tang, I did not expect you to come in person! Welcome!"
Tang Haotian smiled faintly and pointed out that Xia Ruofei said: "Today is just free, come with my good friends to see."
Then Tang Haotian introduced: "Mr. Tony, this is the chairman of the US Kyushu Group, Mr. Li Yife, and my elder!"
Tony couldn't help but feel a little shock, and quickly greeted Li Yifu.
Li Yifu almost did not ask about business matters in recent years, and the exposure rate is not high, but the Kyushu Group is a famous consortium, which has a pivotal position in the American business community. Tony naturally does not dare to neglect.
The two heavy figures personally accompanied Xia Ruofei to come, and also let Tony's emphasis on Xia Ruofei immediately upgraded to a level.
After everyone chilled a few words, Tony enthusiastically invited the three to his office.
Tony's office is located on the top floor of the Qantas Headquarters building. It has an area of ​​two or three hundred square meters. It has a full-faced glass curtain wall that overlooks the entire Qantas headquarters campus and has a good view.
Tony asked everyone to take a seat in the hospitality area, and then said: "Mr. Xia, the conference will be held about half an hour later, I will make a long story short!"
Xia Ruofei smiled and said: "Okay."
Tony looked at Xia Ruofei and said: "This time we will announce the reward program for the contributors to this special request. For the reward of Mr. Xia, the initial determination is this: reward cash of 2 million Australian dollars..."
When Tang Haotian heard this number, his eyebrows were raised, but he did not interrupt Tony’s words, but he listened patiently.
According to the exchange rate, 2 million Australian dollars is almost equivalent to 10 million Chinese currency, which is not a small number, and it is similar to the international mainstream standards, and even more, perhaps considering that Xia Ruofei’s contribution is too Big.
But this little money is too little in Tang Haotian's opinion. After all, Xia Ruofei's position in his mind has become more respectful.
Tony continued: "Qantas will award Mr. Xia 'honorary passengers' title, Mr. Xia can take our flight for free for life, and also enjoy vip treatment when you take the 'Oneworld' other alliance company flights. And discounted tickets based on 50% off!"
"Oneworld" is an international airline alliance initiated by Qantas in 1999, including five members of American Airlines, British Airways, Cathay Pacific, Air Canada and Qantas. The flight company, flight time, ticketing, sharing code, Passenger transfer, airport VIP room and other aspects of cooperation and sharing.
In other words, Xia Ruofei won the title of "honor passenger", not only can take the Qantas flight for free for life, but also enjoy the 50% discount on the discount when taking the flight of the other four alliance companies. VIP room and other vip services.
Of course, Xia Ruofei does not often take international flights, so he just smiled and nodded for this reward, and was not too surprised.
Tony carefully observed the look of Xia Ruofei before he said: "Of course, we finally prepared a small surprise for Mr. Xia. Please forgive me for selling a moment now, and keep a little suspense. I believe that Mr. Xia will like it. of!"
"Oh? Then I am looking forward to it!" Xia Ruofei said with a smile. "I have no opinion on this incentive scheme, and I would like to thank your company for your generosity!"
Tony quickly said: "Mr. Xia said that your heroic behavior has not only saved a huge economic loss for us, but more importantly, it has preserved the reputation of our company. No matter how rewarded it is, it cannot be overemphasized!"
At this time, Tony's secretary, Ivy, knocked on the door gently and then walked in with a document.
When the boss met with important guests, knocking on the door, it is obvious that this document must be very important, so Tony immediately sinned and got up and went to his desk.
When Tony handled the documents, Tang Haotian said in Chinese: "If you fly, Qantas is too stingy! Will you send you two million Australian dollars?"
Li Yifu quite has the feeling of "death and death", and he said with indignation: "Uncle Shu! Qantas does not put you in the eye! Do you want me to give them a lesson?"
Xia Ruofei waved his hand and said: "You don't add chaos! How much is the amount of money? I am missing these money? I said that I was also trying to save myself and save the passengers on the plane, not for the reward!"
"But..." Li Yifu said.
"Okay! I think people are very sincere." Xia Ruofei broke Li Yifu's words and said with a smile, "You can find out the reward cases of similar events in the world, and people really don't deduct Soso!" Generous! Besides, Tony is not saying that there is any surprise?"
Xia Ruofei said that he finally calmed down the two "angry youths", but until Tony handled the documents, they didn't have any good looks. Tony felt a little uneasy in his heart. He didn't know where he was doing inappropriately. Offended these two.
After sitting down again, Tony stabilized his mind and said to Xia Ruofei: "Mr. Xia, there is one more thing, about the press conference that will be held immediately. The press is very interested in your business, and there may be many problems at that time. Throw it at you, you can answer it selectively, and you can refuse it for those that make you feel uncomfortable."
Xia Ruofei knew that Tony said the intention of the words, smiled and nodded and said: "I understand that some details about this incident are based on what you announced."
In fact, Xia Ruofei originally did not like to show up like this, but considering that this matter has been exposed in the country, it is meaningless to hide it.
In addition, here is Australia, Xia Ruofei as a Chinese, can become a hero sought after by the media, it can be regarded as a national victory, so Xia Ruofei will promise to attend this conference.
Tony is very happy, talking to smart people is easy!
After the two things were finished, the next step was to wait for the press conference to be held. Tony also began to talk to Tang Yantian and Li Yifu.
However, these two people have some ignorance of Tony, and the atmosphere is somewhat embarrassing.
Fortunately, the time was not long. Soon Ivy knocked on the door and said, "Mr. Tony, the time is almost up, and everything is ready to enter the scene."
Tony was relieved and stood up and said, "Mr. Xia, Mr. Tang, Mr. Li, let's go!"
Tony personally led the way in front and led Xia Ruofei to take the elevator to the floor where the press release hall was located.
The pedestrian entered the waiting room of the press room from the side door, which is similar to the back office. Here, I can see some parts of the press release from the side of the stage. Li Yifu and Tang Haotian stayed here.
Tang Haotian is a big celebrity in Australia. If he goes out, he will definitely be recognized by reporters. It is impossible to mix in the reporters.
Some surprises to Xia Ruofei are that the crew and air police on the plane will also attend the conference, and both of them have already waited here.
Everyone is a person who has had trouble together, so I feel very cordial when I meet, and I can't help but talk until the clock points to 9:30, and everyone walks out together.
After Xia Ruofei’s party and his party came out, there were still some noisy press conference halls that were quiet.
Then, the flash continued to illuminate, and Xia Ruofei felt that his eyes could not be opened quickly. Most of the shots were aimed at him.
From the mysterious hero of the mysterious East, there are too many news explosions here. At this time, Xia Ruofei is definitely the media darling.
Everyone found their own brand name, Xia Ruofei's position is in the middle, right next to Tony, the two are next to the crew and air police, and a conference host, sitting on the most side seat.

Please be quiet!
said the host, opening the microphone in front of him.
Thank you for the presence of media friends. Today, we are very honored to have Mr. Tony, Senior Vice President of Qantas, help Mr. Xia Ruofei, who has successfully landed Qantas QF108, and...

The host first introduced a few people who attended the conference today, and then said: "Please let Mr. Tony release the news below, and there will be a reporter questioning session later!"
After that, the host gestured to Tony and closed the microphone in front of him.
Tony’s face showed a smile. After trying the microphone, he said:
Welcome to the arrival of media friends. First of all, I will inform you of the preliminary investigation conclusion of this incident! A few days ago, I flew to Australia in China. - There was an emergency on the qf108 flight. The aircraft finally landed successfully in Saipan. There were no passenger casualties. Two crew members were killed and one crew member was injured. Our preliminary investigation included asking the parties and transferring the cabin. Sound recording and flight record data, comprehensive inspection of the aircraft..."
Qantas has prepared a draft, and Tony is also very cautious, taking the manuscript directly and reading it.
Finally, he said: "After the preliminary investigation, we have come to the basic conclusion that this incident is a long-planned hijacking incident. On-duty co-pilot Wilkins has a major crime suspect. The police have applied for a search warrant. Erkins’s residence was searched and his physical evidence such as computers and tablets were sealed. We will inform the media of the news in the first time!

Speaking of this, Tony paused a bit and turned his attention to Xia Ruofei. He said: On behalf of Qantas, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Mr. Xia Ruofei from China. If it wasn’t for Mr. Xia’s decisive shot in a critical moment, and lost in all pilots. If you can bravely fly the plane and drop the Saipan, this incident will have extremely painful consequences! Thank you, Mr. Xia!

After that, Tony stood up and bowed to Xia Ruofei.
There were some commotions in the audience. Although the events have been inquired through various channels, the online media and some tabloids have also said the details of the incident, but this is the official Once personally admitted that this is a long-awaited hijacking incident, this is of extraordinary significance.
Many reporters can't wait to raise their hands and want to ask questions.
Tony smiled and said: "Please be careful, I still have information to post, there will be a reporter's question later, we have enough time for everyone to ask questions!"
The reporters heard that this was sitting back on the seat.
Tony went on to say: "The second message I want to post is that Qantas will reward the successful personnel who have successfully dealt with this special situation..."
Then Tony announced the reward scheme according to the manuscript.
Including the captain Brooke, the crew chief, the flight attendants, the air police and other people, they also received cash rewards, as well as Qantas internal honors.
Of course, the most cash reward is Xia Ruofei's two million Australian dollars, in addition to the Brooke captain's $1.5 million, as well as the crew and air police's $500,000, the other crew share a $1 million bonus.
Xia Ruofei is not an internal employee of Qantas, so there is no additional honor, but it has an
honor passenger
title, which is more affordable.
Tony also emphasized that Captain Johansson, who has lost his job in the post, will be punished according to the standards of public service, and the Qantas Union will also give an extra bonus, and all passengers will receive a certain amount of money. The amount of compensation, these are not included in the incentive program and will be announced separately in the near future.
Finally, Tony smiled and looked at Xia Ruofei and said: "In recognition of Mr. Xia Ruofei's heroic behavior, we decided to name the Airbus A350 aircraft that was flying that day as ‘若飞号’, and...

Speaking of this, Tony intentionally paused for a few seconds, sold a small piece of land, and successfully evoked the interest of journalists. u
