Chapter 2 A chance encounter at the airport
At three o'clock in the afternoon, Liu Jizhong rushed back to the provincial capital.
Because the negotiations with that airport went very smoothly, the signing time was two hours ahead of schedule. After that, the host arranged two first-class seats for him on the flight back to the provincial capital as soon as possible.
For Liu Jizhong now, it is common for him to take the first class cabin and walk in the VIP passage, but the host's courtesy still makes him very enjoyable.
It should be noted that this negotiation was not ordinary. Not only did he reach a very good agreement with the local airport, he used a plane flying this route in the future as collateral to let the airport protect him, and the proposal of a loan of 200 million yuan from a local banking institution was also very smooth.
Whether it is the airport, the local government, or the local bank, they are very supportive of this.
Mr. Liu is not the original Mr. Liu.
In the coming 2006, even though he was not famous all over the world, he was well-known in the industry.
This year, there is another legend that has been widely circulated in the industry.
That is, Mr. Liu from Dongcheng Airlines only spent half an hour to finalize a very generous lease and purchase agreement with General Financial Airlines.
Although this is not a big deal for those who truly understand the profession.
Because everyone knows that for major transactions such as leasing and purchasing aircraft, the two parties have not known how many times they have been in contact before the final signing of the agreement. The final signing of the contract is just a formality.
But Liu Jizhong leased 10 aircraft and purchased 10 aircraft, which combined with 20 Airbus A320 passenger aircraft, and the total amount of the purchase and rental contract is as high as 12 billion yuan. In the industry, no matter what, it is a big deal.
This is equivalent to 12 billion yuan of profits of all Chinese airlines last year, and it is the largest order for China's private aviation industry.
Although it is not only Dongcheng, the private aviation company that was approved to be established in 2005, only one old aircraft was flying in the sky for the other companies.
What is even more surprising is that Liu Jizhong did not rely on the power of any domestic financial institution to sign such a large order, General Financial Aviation Services Company waived him a margin of up to US$6 billion.
Before this, another thing that caused a widespread sensation was that he also received a loan of 10 billion yuan granted by the European Export Bank in the "unsecured seller credit" model.
You should know that his registered capital of Dongcheng Airlines is only 100 million yuan - the minimum registered amount of a legal airline is RMB 80 million.
With just 100 million yuan, it has leveraged a big business of 12 billion yuan. In any case, this can be regarded as a legend, not to mention that it also received a loan of 10 billion yuan from the European Export Bank.
Moreover, the interest rate of the loan of 10 billion yuan is very low. In Liu Jizhong's words, he cannot disclose the specific interest rate, because it will definitely cause "European and American trade frictions."
Similarly, this whole thing is covered with a layer of magical color.
You know, for the order of these 20 large aircraft, Boeing in the United States has been competing with Airbus for many. His statement does not stand the scrutiny.
That is, in order to facilitate his deal with Airbus, Europe has shown great sincerity.
Of course, everyone knows that banks, especially foreign banks, are not only not fools, but also the smartest. However, their actions are undoubtedly endorsing Liu Jizhong: they are very optimistic about the development of Dongcheng Airlines.
This is also the reason why Liu Jizhong decided to have a loan of 200 million yuan while negotiating the agreement this time.
Now he is also a high-quality customer that many banks are rushing to get him to borrow.
Well, relatively speaking, banks within the province are not as active as banks outside the province.
…………
However, after everything went smoothly, Mr. Liu arrived at the provincial capital airport in advance, he was a little unhappy.
While the plane was slowly gliding, Liu Jizhong happened to see a police car, carrying a Mercedes-Benz and a Toyota minibus, drove into the airport and headed towards the parking area.
As the airline boss, he knew that this was the attitude of receiving VIPs.
He glanced at the secretary sitting beside him, and the secretary who had turned on his phone would not take the initiative to report anything to him, which disappointed him a little.
This is obviously not my place to pick me up.
It doesn't matter, looking at the clearer sky outside, Mr. Liu said in his heart.
He has enjoyed such treatment at the provincial capital airport.
Just when he had this idea, the secretary spoke, "Mr. Liu, that's the number one car in the province,"
"Um?"
This undoubtedly aroused Liu Jizhong's interest. The No. 1 car in the province, which is the No. 1 car taken in the province, actually dispatched this car to pick up passengers. The VIP receptionist was really a bit famous.
He couldn't help but look back and saw from a distance that the small convoy was parked in front of a small plane.
He immediately had some guesses about the identity of that person.
I was riding a small business jet and was welcomed by the province in such a big way, and it was also arriving today. It was not a coincidence that this so-called VIP, without anyone else, could only be Feng Yiping.
In the meeting held by the province at the end of the year, hasn’t he been sending Jin Ling to attend in recent years, and hasn’t he attended? What’s the crazy thing about this year?
Could it be, stealing the limelight?
…………
When Feng Yiping came out of the cabin, the first thing he did was to button the windbreaker tightly. "Hey, it's not too cold," he said with some joy.
Jin Ling, who was walking behind her, looked at her phone and reminded her, "Below,"
Feng Yiping looked at the cars below, and the person standing by the car with a smile, walked down the gangway quickly and held the middle-aged man's hand, "Director Qin, how can you pick it up in person,"
Although the person who came here was not the Secretary-General, he was the deputy director of the General Office and the director of the Policy Research Office, which is commonly known as the Grand Secretary.
"Hello Mr. Feng," Qin Dajian was very polite to Feng Yiping. "The leader said that this is the first time that Mr. Feng had to take the initiative to say something to talk about, and that must not be a trivial matter, so I asked me to come here to greet him."
"He said that from now until he got off work, his time was free, and he couldn't finish talking, so he continued to talk tonight."
"Thank you," said Feng Yiping.
The symposium held in the province tomorrow will also bring guests to the public. The provincial leaders can make a special trip to spare time for him at this time, which shows their importance to him.
This is also the reason why he came back this year. He did not attend the symposium that the province will hold tomorrow. There are many things to talk to the province.
But since time is so coincidental, there is no need to say that you will attend again tomorrow.
"Mr. Jin," Qin Dajian greeted Jin Ling again.
Although senior officials of Jin heard that they were about to be transferred, and they were in western provinces, this time the transfer was a real promotion. Qin Da Secret, who knew the inside story, was also very polite to Jin Ling.
Of course, it just doesn’t matter how high-ranking official Jin official faces. Jin Ling can now afford such politeness. Everyone knows that Jiasheng’s domestic business is basically the decision by Mr. Jin.
In other words, considering her relationship with Gaoguan Jin, she would take the initiative to avoid suspicion when she negotiated some issues with the province. When Mei Yiliang, who is in the provincial capital, was not worth enough, Feng Yiping had to attend.
"Director Qin," Jin Ling nodded to him and said to Feng Yiping, "Don't waste your leadership time,"
"To be honest, the leader cannot wait for a long time," Feng Yiping sat into the Mercedes-Benz.
And everyone on the plane, including Jin Ling, all got on the minibus.
Wu Qian, who was waiting to get on the bus, looked at the heat she exhaled with interest and turned into white mist. She had never seen snow since she graduated from college. Even though she had seen a lot of snow because she often stayed in the capital, she was still very happy when it was snowing.
Seeing Zheng Jiayi beside her constantly stomping her feet, she let her in front of her, "Is it that cold?"
"It's really cold," Zheng Jiayi looked not as happy as hers.
"Hey, you're home soon, why are you still cold?"
It's because it's almost home that it's cold.
…………
"Mr. Liu, I've found out clearly," the secretary trotted all the way to catch up with Liu Jizhong, who was wearing a coat and walking in a stalker. "Car. No. 1 is here to pick up Mr. Feng, who is here to pick up Jiasheng."
"Well," Liu Jizhong nodded expressionlessly, but his heart was extremely frustrated. It was really you.
He was a little envious. He had never even gotten on the No. 1 car, let alone driving into the airport to pick him up.
He was a little annoyed, feeling that the province did not support him enough.
It is not even as good as the city he just came back to, and it has great support for him.
It was also a provincial capital. Not only did he receive the reception from the main leaders, but he also easily received their loan support.
In contrast, in the province, all financial institutions are still fighting on these issues, and they have taken practical actions, but none of them have.
He knew that his previous records were not very good, but, this year, where was me from last year?
The key is that although this is an industry that brings great glory to Mr. Liu, it is also a very money-burning industry. The fierceness of money-burning can make Mr. Liu look green.
No matter how many big news he made from last year to this year, in the final analysis, these cannot improve Boss Liu's wealth in a short period of time.
Just now, when I saw the snowy day, I couldn't help but think of "Ask the vast earth, who is the ups and downs?" Mr. Liu, who was full of heroism, felt a little cold now.
He decided that at tomorrow's symposium, he must talk about the fact that the province does not support him enough.
…………
Just after passing the toll station, Zheng Jiayi received a call from her mother, "Jiayi, have you come out?"
“I’ve passed the toll station,”
"Ah, you guys are so fast, your dad and I are still at the airport,"
"It was a car sent by the province," Zheng Jiayi whispered.
"I'll just say you guys in the convoy just now," she heard her mother hurriedly closing the door.
"Then you wait for me on the side of the airport expressway, and we will arrive soon."
"Mom," Zheng Jiayi originally wanted to say that she had a job, but there were some things that she couldn't escape, "Okay,"
Chapter completed!
