Chapter 2161 Encounter at the Airport

At three o'clock in the afternoon, Liu Jizhong rushed back to the provincial capital.

Because the negotiation with the airport went very smoothly, the signing time was advanced by two hours. After that, the host arranged two first-class seats for him on the fastest flight back to the provincial capital.

For Liu Jizhong now, sitting in the first class and walking through the VIP channel are already commonplace, but he still enjoys the courtesy of the host very much.

It should be noted that this negotiation was not ordinary smooth. Not only did he reach a very good agreement with the local airport, he also used a plane that would fly this route in the future as collateral and let the airport guarantee him. The proposal to borrow 200 million yuan from the local bank institution also went very smoothly.

Whether it is the airport, the local government, or the local bank, they all support this.

The current Mr. Liu is not the original Mr. Liu.

In 2006, which is about to pass, even if he cannot be said to be famous all over the world, he is well-known in the industry.

This year, there is another legend that is widely circulated in the industry.

That is, Mr. Liu of Dongcheng Airlines spent only half an hour to finalize a lease and purchase agreement with General Financial Aviation with very favorable terms.

Although this is nothing to those who really know the business.

Because everyone knows that for major transactions such as leasing and purchasing aircraft, the two parties do not know how many times they have contacted each other before the final signing of the agreement, and the final signing is just a formality.

But Liu Jizhong leased 10 and purchased 10, adding up to 20 Airbus A320 passenger aircraft, with a total amount of 12 billion yuan in aircraft purchase and leasing contracts. In the industry, it is considered a big deal anyway.

This is equivalent to 12 billion, which is twice the profit of all Chinese airlines last year. It is the largest order of China's private aviation.

Although Dongcheng is not the only private aviation approved to be established in 2005, the other few will only have an old aircraft flying in the sky at this time.

What is even more surprising is that Liu Jizhong did not rely on any domestic financial institution to sign such a large order. General Financial Aviation Services Company exempted him from a deposit of up to 6 billion US dollars.

Before this, another thing that caused a widespread sensation was that he also received a loan of 10 billion yuan from the European Export Bank in the mode of "no bank guarantee + seller credit".

You know, the registered capital of his Dongcheng Airlines is only 100 million yuan - the minimum registered amount of a legal airline is 80 million yuan.

With only 100 million yuan, he leveraged a big business of 12 billion yuan. In any case, this can be regarded as a legend, not to mention that he also received a loan of 10 billion yuan from the European Export Bank.

And the interest rate of the 10 billion yuan loan 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."

Similar words have cast a magical color on the whole thing.

You know, for the order of these 20 large aircraft, Boeing of the United States has fought with Airbus a lot. His statement is not untenable.

That is, in order to facilitate the deal between him and Airbus, Europe has shown great sincerity.

Of course, everyone knows that banks, especially foreign banks, are not fools, but the smartest ones. 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 finalized a loan of 200 million yuan while negotiating the agreement this time.

Now he is also a high-quality customer that many banks are scrambling to get him a loan.

Well, relatively speaking, banks in the province are not as active as banks outside the province.

…………

However, Mr. Liu, who had everything going well, was a little upset after arriving at the provincial capital airport in advance.

When the plane was taxiing slowly, Liu Jizhong happened to see a police car, with a Mercedes-Benz and a Toyota minibus, driving into the airport and heading towards the parking area.

As the president of an airline company, he knew that this was a posture for receiving VIPs.

He glanced at the secretary sitting next to him. The secretary, who had already turned on his mobile phone, did not take the initiative to report anything to him, which made him a little disappointed.

This was obviously not to pick him up.

It doesn't really matter, Mr. Liu thought, looking at the increasingly clear sky outside.

It's not like he hasn't enjoyed such treatment at the provincial airport.

Just when he had this thought, the secretary spoke up, "Mr. Liu, that's the No. 1 car of the province,"

"Hmm?"

This undoubtedly aroused Liu Jizhong's interest. The No. 1 car of the province, that is, the car that the No. 1 in the province rides, actually sent this car to pick up the guest. The VIP being received must be quite impressive.

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 guessed the identity of that person.

Sitting in a small business jet, and being received by the province with such a big show, and also arriving today, if it wasn't too coincidental, this so-called VIP could only be Feng Yiping.

Didn't he always send Jin Ling to attend this meeting held by the province at the end of the year in recent years, and didn't attend himself? What kind of crazy is this year?

Could it be that he is trying to steal the limelight?

…………

The first thing Feng Yiping did when he came out of the cabin was to button up his windbreaker. “Hey, it’s not too cold,” he said with some joy.

Jin Ling, who was walking behind her, looked at her phone and reminded, "Down below,"

Feng Yiping looked at the cars below and the people standing beside the cars with smiles. He quickly walked down the gangway and held the middle-aged man's hand. "Director Qin, why don't you come and 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, also known as the Big Secretary.

"Hello, Mr. Feng," Secretary Qin was very polite to Feng Yiping. "The leader said that this is the first time that Mr. Feng has taken the initiative to say that he has something to talk about. It must not be a trivial matter, so he asked me to make a special trip to greet him."

"He said that from now until get off work, his time will be free, and we can't finish talking. We will continue talking in the evening,"

"Thank you," Feng Yiping said.

The symposium held in the province tomorrow will also be attended by distinguished guests. The leaders of the province can make a special trip to spare time for him at this time, which shows that they value him.

This is also the reason why he rushed back this year. He was not going to attend the symposium that the province will hold tomorrow. He had many things to discuss with the province.

But since the time is so coincidental, there is no need to say that I have to attend it tomorrow anyway.

"Mr. Jin," Secretary Qin called Jin Ling again.

Although a senior Jin official was heard to be transferred soon, and he was still in a western province, this transfer was an out-and-out promotion.

Of course, Jin Ling can afford to be so polite even if he doesn't care about Mr. Jin's face. Everyone knows that Mr. Jin basically makes the final decision on Jiasheng's domestic business.

That is to say, considering her relationship with senior officials Jin, she would take the initiative to avoid suspicion when negotiating some issues with the province. When Mei Yiliang, who was in charge of the provincial capital, did not have enough weight, Feng Yiping had to be present.

"Director Qin," Jin Ling nodded towards him and said to Feng Yiping, "don't waste the leader's time."

"That's right, the leader can't be kept waiting," Feng Yiping got into the Mercedes-Benz.

Including Jin Ling, everyone else on the plane got on the CMB.

Wu Qian, who was waiting to get on the bus, watched with interest as the hot breath she exhaled turned into white mist. From the time she graduated from college, she had never seen much snow. Even after she often stayed in the capital, she saw a lot of snow. But she was still happy when it snowed.

Seeing Zheng Jiayi beside her stomping her feet, she moved her in front of her, "Is it so cold?"

"It's really cold," Zheng Jiayi didn't look as happy as she did.

"Hey, you'll be home soon, why is it still cold?"

It's just because we're almost home, so it's cold.

…………

"Mr. Liu, please find out." The secretary jogged all the way to catch up with Liu Jizhong, who was wearing a coat and walking like a tiger. "Car No. 1 is here to pick up Mr. Feng from Jiasheng."

"Yes," Liu Jizhong nodded expressionlessly, but his heart was filled with disgust. It's really you.

He was a little envious. He had never even gotten into the No. 1 car, let alone taken the initiative to drive into the airport to pick him up.

He was a little annoyed and felt that the province did not support him enough.

It's not even as supportive as the city he just returned from.

It was also a provincial capital city. Not only did he get an interview with the main leaders, he also easily received their loan support.

On the other hand, in the province, all financial institutions are still fighting on these issues, and none of them has taken practical actions.

He knows that his previous record was not very good, but where is the me this year compared to the me last year?

The key is that the aviation industry, although it is an industry that has brought Mr. Liu great glory, is also a very money-burning industry. The money-burning industry can make Mr. Liu green in the face.

No matter how many big news he made from last year to this year, in the final analysis, these cannot increase Boss Liu's net worth in a short period of time.

When I saw the snowy day just now, I couldn't help but think of "asking the vast earth, who is in charge of the ups and downs?" Mr. Liu, who was full of arrogance, felt a little cold now.

He decided that at tomorrow's discussion, he must talk about the lack of support for him from the province.

…………

Just after passing the toll station, Zheng Jiayi received a call from her mother, "Jiayi, are you out?"

"I've passed the toll booth,"

"Ah, you guys are so fast, your dad and I are still at the airport,"

"It's a car sent by the province," Zheng Jiayi whispered.

"I just said that the convoy was yours," she heard her mother closing the car door in a hurry.

"Then wait for me on the other side of the airport expressway. We'll be there soon."

"Mom," Zheng Jiayi originally wanted to say that she had a job, but some things couldn't be avoided after all, "Okay,"
