Chapter 358

William White finished his script in his study, and although he didn't have a lot of money, he had a very comfortable life.

There were two knocks on the door, and William White was curious as to who would disturb him at this time.

"Come in, um, Xiaohu, what's the matter?"

"Boss, the space shuttle is down, and our satellite program may be delayed."

William White was a little sluggish, he seemed to have forgotten a very important historical event.

"Challenger?"

"Tsk, wait a minute."

In his opinion, NASA's management is very rubbish. Even if there is no accident this time, there will be problems sooner or later. Knowing that the weather is too cold, but still forcing the launch, this is already in the category of serious dereliction of duty, and the gods cannot save it.

"Barry, did you see the news?"

"Yes, boss."

"Don't worry about other things, the style of the show should be sad, and the entertainment show will stop for a while, well, three days will be fine."

"Understood, boss."

Such a decision may only be made by him, and other people can't do it for him. The media under William White responded quickly, and all entertainment pages were withdrawn.

Well, there are not many people doing this in the United States, not to mention the space shuttle, even if the president dies, he should sing and dance.

William White really knew that he couldn't do this. In just one day, more than 85% of Americans knew about this tragedy. In terms of timeliness, this is almost comparable to the news of the outbreak of World War II.

Most importantly, the crew members who died in this accident included not only women, but also a teacher. From an emotional point of view, astronauts are basically equivalent to soldiers. Although they will be sad, they will not be too loud.

"What is the tone of NBC's propaganda?"

"Condolences and remembrance."

"Didn't blame NASA?"

"No, do we need to change?"

"No, we have our own style."

Seeing Murdoch's resolute attitude, it's hard for his subordinates to say anything, after all, that old guy only cares about ratings.

In fact, Murdoch's approach is the norm in the United States, and everyone actually does it like this.

However, this world is often like this, and there is no harm without comparison. Still, a considerable part of the audience expressed dissatisfaction.

Well, the old guy doesn't really care, he is a businessman first, and an American businessman second. This is his belief, and others have nothing to criticize.

Many people underestimated the impact of this incident, because of this accident, the manned space journey of the United States was interrupted for a long time. NASA has also undergone a big shakeup, and almost all the guys who have a vegetarian meal are out.

"Felson, is there any news from Boeing?"

"It's probably not a big problem. The current big boss is probably not in the mood to change cars."

"Hey, all planes are unreliable now, has mine been overhauled?"

"All overhauled, the plane in the foot basin, they should be to save maintenance costs."

"Nonsense, they are taking the blame for Boeing. They can fully load 488 passengers at a time. Tell me, what company will save costs?"

"That's right. With a 70% occupancy rate, the airline will make money. It doesn't care about the price of spare parts. The manager in charge of maintenance is a bit wronged."

"Hey, this group of guys is unreasonable. If there is no one with comparable strength to open their stomachs, it seems that the problem cannot be solved. If nothing unexpected, they will be a scapegoat again." Felson has nothing to say, This guy must be like that. If he doesn't die, the boss of Footbath Aviation will wipe his neck.

"A $200 million plane?"

"Yes, it should be more than that. This guy's request seems to be much higher than that of the big boss."

"Hehe, you enviable boy, if the old man orders this plane, the board of directors will definitely be turned upside down."

"Recently, the plane has been falling down all the time. I guess he was scared. His special plane is not used very much. This time, it has been completely overhauled."

"Hey, don't say he's worried. I'm also worried. All the company's planes are being overhauled. Damn, space shuttles are unreliable, so don't expect civilian planes to be much better."

Airplane management in later generations is very strict, especially after 9/11, I can't wait to strip you naked before letting you board the plane.

this era?

Smoking is allowed on a plane, can you believe it?

In fact, two thousand years later, many airlines gradually banned smoking. Older planes have ashtrays on the armrests.

(Absolutely not blowing, the author has experienced it personally, but it is not allowed to run around, you can smoke in the last few rows, the exhaust vents on both sides are obviously a little black. Ha ha, it proves that it is not my buddy who has no public morality.)

As for now, if you dare to secretly hide a lighter, you may be taught a lesson.

Laomei obviously had a bad start this year. The launch at the beginning of the new year was supposed to show its strength, but it turned out to be a mess.

As for Mao Zi, people are quite disapproving, their accidents are simply innumerable.

ACCIDENT?

Thinking of Maozi's accident, William White couldn't help but stand on end. It seems that this year, Maozi's nuclear power plant went berserk, which is much more serious than the space shuttle accident.

William White's aircraft order still makes Boeing very happy. A 747-200 fell in the foot basin, which really made many customers doubt.

Others have doubts, but William White does not. In his memory, there seems to be only one 747 dropped, and the quality is still very reliable.

After all, four engines are more reliable than two. In more extreme cases, as long as one engine is still working, the plane can fly back.

"William, are you going to give the boss eye drops?" Little Bush said jokingly.

"Tch, it's just a coincidence for anyone to bother to pay attention to him. To be honest, I never thought it was a maintenance problem with the plane in the foot basin."

"You are not so timid, are you?"

"Nonsense, it's the same model as my plane, you say I'm worried or not. My yacht hasn't been built yet, otherwise, buddies will go everywhere by boat."

Little Bush was speechless, he could tell that William White was really scared. For a standard cowboy, a bit of a laugh is a must.

As for the quality problem that William White said, he is indeed powerless to refute. A very simple common sense is that if you can determine the cause of the accident so quickly, can it be counted if you can pinch it?

"Hehe, the boy's reasoning is correct, and it's true that the maintenance is not done well. They don't have the guts to hide it."

"Is that so?" Little Bush expressed doubts about his father's words.

"You have to know that there is nothing wrong with hidden dangers. At most, you will lose money. If it is deliberately concealed, it will be of another nature. Not only may you be imprisoned, but you may also go bankrupt directly. Who would be so stupid?"

What Old Bush said is indeed very reasonable. Because the laws of the United States are like this, if it is indeed an accident, there is nothing to say and it needs to be fixed. If it was deliberately concealed, then congratulations, you will definitely be punished to doubt your life.

Because of such laws, American companies are usually happy to admit mistakes. Because mistakes can be forgiven.
