After Tony looked around, he continued, "Also, after this plane is repaired and put into use again, we will put on a new paint!"
Tony continued, "We learned that Mr. Xia's company has a business in Australia, so the paint of this Airbus A350 will be changed to the theme of the Taoyuan Company and Wonderland Farm. The paint will not change again until this plane is retired!"
Xia Ruofei couldn't help but be very tempted. It turned out that this was the surprise that Tony was talking about. Compared to the cash reward, this was really a very good surprise in Xia Ruofei's eyes.
Thinking about an Airbus jumbo with the logo of the Taoyuan Company, and flying around the world all year round, this was simply a mobile advertising board!
After Tony finished speaking, a picture appeared on the projection screen behind him.
Tony said with a smile, "This is the new paint effect of the plane that our designers worked overtime to make!"
Xia Ruofei looked back and saw the eye-catching logo of the Taoyuan Company and the English name of Wonderland Farm on the tip of the plane's wing.
In addition, the design of the fuselage was even more eye-catching. It was directly covered with fresh vegetables and fruits. The huge pattern was distributed throughout the fuselage. The colors of these vegetables and fruits were also very eye-catching. There were red, yellow, and green. They looked very fresh and made people unable to help but want to eat.
Tony smiled and introduced, "The materials of these pictures are taken from the vegetables that Wonderland Farm displayed on the official website of Meiya Retail Group. They are all real photos. When it comes to changing the paint, we hope to collect some high-definition material photos from Wonderland Farm to achieve the best effect. We hope that Mr. Xia can help!"
Xia Ruofei said with a smile, "Such a good thing, of course I will fully cooperate!"
This paint was really eye-catching. It could be imagined that if such a plane appeared in any airport, the number of people turning their heads would definitely be the best!
What's more, there was such a story behind this paint, which could be passed down as a story. It was equivalent to bringing a bonus effect to the publicity.
Xia Ruofei could even foresee that this plane might become the plane of the Internet. Many people would be surprised and take photos with it when they met it when traveling.
Xia Ruofei said with a smile, "Thank you, Mr. Tony. This is really a great surprise!"
Tony smiled and nodded at Xia Ruofei, and then motioned to the host.
The host immediately said, "Next is the reporter's question time!"
As soon as his voice fell, the reporters below raised their hands in unison. The host pointed at one of them and said, "The lady in red in the middle of the first row!"
Most of the time, it was always advantageous to sit in the first row, and female reporters were more likely to be called. Therefore, in the absence of pre-determined questions, the female reporters in the first row had a much higher chance of getting a question than others.
It was the same today. The female reporter in the first row took the microphone from the staff, stood up and said, "Thank you, host. I am a reporter from the Sydney Morning Herald. I have two questions to ask Mr. Xia."
While Xia Ruofei's microphone in front of him, the female reporter's Zhang, and Mr. Xia's the Taoyuan Company Company.
The female reporter in red asked, "What I want to ask is, Mr. Xia, have you received any flight training before this? Why did you take the initiative to take on this seemingly impossible task under such circumstances? "
Xia Ruofei smiled and said in fluent English, "I have received simple helicopter operation training. Before the A350 forced landing, I had never actually operated a fixed-wing aircraft."
The reporters below suddenly became restless, and they all raised their hands.
Xia Ruofei put his hands down, indicating that he had not finished answering the question.
He continued, "As for why I stood up, I don't think I need a reason, right? The situation was very critical at the time. If the situation had been allowed to deteriorate, I would have died! "
Several people on the stage and the reporters below the stage all laughed kindly.
Xia Ruofei said seriously, "Although I have never been in contact with this type of aircraft, at least I have some understanding of aviation knowledge. It's better than doing nothing, right? What's more, although the pilot was disabled at the time, he was still conscious … "
Xia Ruofei paused, took a sip of water, and continued, "Here, I also have to explain one thing to the media, that is, the successful completion of this forced landing is inseparable from the technical guidance of Captain Brooke. He is still receiving treatment in the hospital due to his injury, so he can't attend this press conference. But what I want to say is that Captain Brooke is a senior captain with rich experience and strong psychological quality. Without his guidance, this forced landing would never have been successful! "
After Xia Ruofei finished speaking, the reporters couldn't help but applaud.
Tony, who was sitting next to Xia Ruofei, couldn't hide his joy. He thought that Mr. Xia's EQ was really high …
In fact, in this incident, Qantas was very passive in public opinion. Although the incident did not cause any passenger casualties, it was all because of Xia Ruofei, an outsider, who turned the tide. The cause of the incident was the intentional suicide of the Qantas employee, Wilkins, which Qantas could not get rid of.
Now, Xia Ruofei had personally exaggerated the credit of Brooke, who was also a senior captain of Qantas, to the greatest extent. In fact, it could greatly alleviate the pressure of public opinion that Qantas was facing.
The second reporter's question was for Tony.
The male reporter in a suit asked, "Mr. Tony, according to media reports, Wilkins had successfully locked himself in the cockpit at the time of the incident, and the crew broke in. As far as I know, the design of the cockpit door is very strong. In theory, as long as the pilot in the cockpit does not actively open the door, it is impossible to break in from the outside. So, the crew successfully broke in this incident, what was the reason? Did it involve the quality of the plane? "
Tony's smile faded a little and he said, "I'm sorry, the details are still under investigation. Before a definite conclusion is reached, I have no right to announce it. So, I can't confirm the details you mentioned. If there is further information, we will announce it as soon as possible."
Then, several reporters asked Tony questions, but when it came to some of the details of the incident, Tony did not answer directly. The official information that the reporters could get was very limited.
So, the reporters quickly focused on Xia Ruofei.
For the media, an official voice was naturally necessary, but they paid more attention to the eye-catching points, such as the lone hero and so on.
"Mr. Xia, what was the biggest difficulty during the whole process?" A female reporter with some freckles on her face asked.
Xia Ruofei smiled and answered without hesitation, "The biggest difficulty? Of course, I didn't know how to fly a plane! Everything had to be learned on the spot, and the autopilot was damaged at that time. From the moment I sat in the pilot's seat until the plane landed in Saipan, the whole process was manual, so I have to say again about Captain Brooke … "
The reporters all laughed kindly. Xia Ruofei's support for Qantas was too obvious.
However, Xia Ruofei still said seriously, "Captain Brooke is really a very good teacher. He can even teach a layman who has never flown a fixed-wing plane and complete the landing on the spot. So, I strongly suggest that Qantas promote Mr. Brooke to a pilot instructor! "
This time, everyone laughed even louder. Even Tony joined in the fun and said, "We will seriously consider Mr. Xia's suggestion!"
The atmosphere at the scene was very happy, and the reporters continued to ask questions. Most of the reporters threw questions to Xia Ruofei, and occasionally one or two questions to Guri and the air marshal.
Overall, Xia Ruofei's response was very appropriate. Except for some details that were consistent with Qantas, he answered most of the questions very seriously.
Xia Ruofei could speak fluent English, and his performance on the scene was also very witty. He often had some humorous and witty words that made everyone smile, which was very different from the image of Huaxia in everyone's mind.
It could be seen that the media reporters had a very good impression of Xia Ruofei, and presumably the reports that came out would not be bad.
Time passed unknowingly, and it was noon. This question and answer session could be said to have left enough time, and most of the reporters also got the information they wanted.
The host said, "Because of the incident, we have one last question!"
In the end, the right to ask this question was obtained by a reporter from The Daily Telegraph.
He smiled and asked, "My question is for Mr. Tony. After this incident, with the disclosure of some details, our first impression was that it was too bizarre and exciting, even more exciting than a movie. What I want to ask is, does Qantas have any plans to adapt this forced landing into a movie? I believe that if this incident can be put on the screen, many people will be willing to go to the cinema to watch it! "
Tony was stunned for a moment. These days, he had been busy dealing with the forced landing, so naturally, he did not think about adapting it into a movie.
What's more, this incident was essentially an internal problem of Qantas. From the standpoint of Qantas, they were not willing to expose their dirty linen, let alone make it into a movie.
However, Tony thought for a moment and said with a smile, "Adapt it into a movie? That's a really good idea! Although our main focus is on the investigation and dealing with the aftermath, we will seriously consider your suggestion! Of course, if it's adapted into a movie, it would be even more perfect if the protagonist is Mr. Xia himself! "
The press conference ended with everyone's laughter. The reporters got enough information, and Qantas also achieved the effect of guiding public opinion. Xia Ruofei also gained a lot. In addition to the reward from Qantas, Xia Ruofei would also become a well-known hero in Australia as the contents of today's press conference were published in the newspapers.
It could be said that everyone was happy.
Tony and Xia Ruofei went backstage in the press conference hall. Although the press conference was over, he said very sincerely, "Mr. Xia, thank you very much for speaking up for Qantas!"
Xia Ruofei said with a faint smile, "I'm telling the truth. By the way, how is Captain Brooke's injury? Will it affect his return to flight duty in the future? "
Tony said, "After examination, Brooke's life is not in danger. The main thing is that the fracture in his arm may take some time to recover. The doctor is still optimistic. There should be no problem in returning to flight duty."
Xia Ruofei nodded and said, "That's good! Where is he being treated now? "
"The company has sent a medical plane to take him back to Sydney." Tony said, "He is currently in St.
Vincent's
Hospital for treatment. "
Xia Ruofei nodded and said, "Okay, if I have time before returning to China, I will visit him!"
At this time, Tang Yitian and Li Yifu also came over.
Tang Yitian said to Tony, "Mr. Tony, I'm very interested in the last reporter's suggestion! If Qantas wants to adapt this forced landing into a movie, our Maya Group is willing to invest and cooperate! "
The Maya Group had gradually evolved from a retail giant a few years ago into a large comprehensive group. In addition to the retail business, other businesses were also doing well. The entertainment industry was personally handled by Jennifer. In addition to the artist agency, there was also a film company. Making a movie was naturally a very easy task.
Tony said, "Thank you, Mr. Tang, but our group has not considered this matter, and I can't decide. Of course, if Qantas really wants to make this movie, we will give priority to cooperating with the Maya Group! "
Tang Yitian nodded seriously and said, "Mr. Tony, in fact, this is quite a good subject. You can strike while the iron is hot and launch the movie plan. This is also a kind of publicity for Qantas!"
Tang Yitian paused and then said, "If you really invite Ruofei to be the protagonist when you make the movie, our Maya Group is willing to bear 70% of the shooting funds, and we don't want any profit. All of it will be donated to charity in the name of both of us. How about that?"
Tony couldn't help but be a little tempted. Although Maya Pictures was not the top company in Australia, after all, their main business was retail, their influence was still good, especially with abundant funds. Qantas was very happy to cooperate with such a rich company.
And as Tang Yitian said, if the movie was made well, it would have a more positive impact on Qantas.
If Qantas was in charge of the shooting, it would be easy to weaken the negative impact of the co-pilot's deliberate suicide in the script and emphasize the role of Captain Brooke and Xia Ruofei.
What's more, Tang Yitian agreed to pay a large amount and even donate all of the profits in the name of both of them. Wasn't this another opportunity for Qantas to increase its reputation?
