Chapter 2166: Open Opposition
After laughing, everyone dispersed in twos and threes. Provincial businessmen from all over the country, and even all over the world, rarely gathered together, so they couldn't spend all their time on one person.
Objectively speaking, Liu Jizhong's glory is his glory and it belongs only to him.
No matter how big and successful his airline becomes, it will not bring any direct benefits to most people present, because relatively speaking, the aviation industry is a relatively closed industry, not to mention Liu Jizhong already has plans in the downstream.
But compared to the industries we are engaged in, the aviation industry is relatively rare. It is more important to communicate with colleagues or meet other new friends.
But in such an occasion, when facing friends with whom we are not very close, it is difficult to discuss too specific issues, so some general trends and pragmatic issues have become a common choice for everyone.
More than half of the more than two hundred people in this conference room are discussing one issue at this time, the future direction of the world economy.
Liu Jizhong smiled and walked outside several small groups. All he heard was discussions on this issue. During the discussion, everyone often mentioned a name, Feng Yiping.
Originally, everyone did not pay so much attention to the world economic situation. Everyone's confidence mainly comes from the sustained rapid growth of the domestic economy in recent years. It comes from the fact that no matter how the world economic situation changes, the domestic economy as a whole has been growing in recent years. The scenery here is the best.
However, at the beginning of this year, Feng Yiping suddenly and rarely published a signed article in Frontier magazine, reminding everyone to pay attention to some potential systemic crises contained in the economic situation in the next century, especially in the financial field.
He also reminded Chinese investors to be more careful and not to become a takeover.
Over the years, the credibility of Feng Yiping's "Frontier" magazine can be said to be second to none, especially in the annual opening issue of the magazine, which includes predictions about world economic trends and geopolitical patterns. It is rare to make a mistake.
Up to now, "Frontier" has become one of the world's leading serious political and economic weekly magazines, and one of the most successful political and economic weekly magazines in Asia.
So much so that there is now such a trend that when domestic businessmen gather, if you cannot express some of your own opinions on some articles in the latest issue of Frontier Magazine, it not only means that you have no style or pursuit, but also that you It is difficult to integrate into some circles.
Since Feng Yiping published some chapters of "Blue Ocean Strategy" when it was first published, and later published some chapters of his other monograph, "Big Data", this is his first time in "Frontier". Publish a signed article.
He acted so solemnly, which naturally attracted everyone's attention.
In the first two small circles, everyone has different opinions on this issue, but overall, although it is not explicitly stated, there are more people who do not understand it, that is, they do not believe it.
When passing by the third small circle, Liu Jizhong was a little unhappy with what one of them said, "To be honest, although I don't understand it very well, since Mr. Feng said that, I think he must have a point."
The speaker was the chairman of a well-known domestic wine group. Regardless of his age, strength, or popularity, he was considered an important senior figure in the business community of this province. Last year, even if Liu Jizhong did not agree with his words, he could only agree with him with a smile. share.
But today’s Mr. Liu is not the Wu Xia Amon of yesteryear. He has been met by heads of state from so many European countries, and has been negotiated by CEOs of world-class companies like Boeing and Airbus. In addition, he is not only famous now, but also has his own aviation company. The future of the company is also very bright, and he feels that he is qualified to show off to such an old-timer on such an occasion.
"Haha, hello, Mr. Chen, hello everyone," he squeezed in and greeted everyone with a smile.
"I'm sorry, I heard everyone discussing this issue, and some of the things I said didn't make me happy,"
"Oh, Mr. Liu, we know that Mr. Liu has such large business dealings with world-class companies, and his views on this issue must be more insightful than mine," Mr. Chen glanced at Liu Jizhong and said with a smile.
For some reason, when he saw this fellow countryman who had made a huge splash in the aviation industry in the past two years, he couldn't help but think of another person, that is, the former richest man who also became famous in airplanes. At this time, he had already transformed himself. Mr. Mou who has been struggling for several years.
"Mr. Chen is exaggerating. Although I have business dealings with Airbus and internationally renowned aviation materials companies, my views on the world economy are naturally inferior to yours."
"Similarly, because I have no business dealings with Mr. Feng, my understanding of Mr. Feng is no more than Mr. Chen,"
His words seemed to be a bit of an insinuation. This Mr. Chen could be regarded as the supplier of Feng Yiping's convenience stores and the supermarkets that are currently opening more and more stores in second- and third-tier cities.
With such a bond of interest, it is certainly understandable that Mr. Chen would make some remarks to defend Feng Yiping on such an occasion.
Speaking of which, this was another area where he had objections to Feng Yiping. They had made no progress in discussing the sale of Dongcheng air tickets with Youjia Convenience.
"It's just that the aviation industry is indeed closely related to the world economic situation. In the past two years, I have to force myself to pay attention to some situations in this area,"
"In my opinion," he said loudly, "Mr. Feng's judgment on this issue is probably biased."
His words immediately attracted the attention of many people around him.
There is no other reason. Feng Yiping is determined to participate in today's symposium. Even if Feng Yiping does not participate, in an occasion like today, most people will not publicly say that Feng Yiping is wrong.
After all, that is Feng Yiping. His current achievements are enough for most people to suppress their dissatisfaction and calm down. At most, they can express their different opinions in private gatherings in front of close people.
This was not only out of respect for Feng Yiping, but also out of consideration for himself, so that he would not be slapped in the face by his own words in the future.
Because from the current point of view, the opinions expressed by Feng Yiping in public have been proven to be correct one by one.
Publicly challenging such a person's remarks is stressful for most people, but today, there is actually a different master.
This move is in line with Liu Jizhong's intention. He wants as many people as possible.
Feng Yiping has passed the time of relying on the public to make a name for himself, and he, Mr. Liu, is now keen on doing so.
"I have repeatedly read the development data of countries around the world this year, and the views of some international institutions on this issue, and have discussed it with many experts. To be honest, we really can't see how the world economy will be in the next few years. Within a short period of time, there is a possibility of systemic risks erupting,”
"Judging from the current data, although the economic growth of the United States in recent years has not been able to maintain a growth of more than 5% in the first quarter, it is definitely not a problem to achieve a growth of 3% for the whole year,"
"The rapid growth throughout the year in the United States and the increase in consumer spending are the biggest factors,"
"The Eurozone's economy has experienced unexpectedly high growth this year, and Japan has also shown strong growth. As for our country, we can't find any basis for a slowdown in economic growth,"
"On the one hand, domestic consumption in the United States, the world's largest consumer market, is still strong. On the other hand, major manufacturing countries, including our country, have provided the world market with a steady stream of high-quality and low-priced products. At the same time, our import volume has increased Rapid expansion has also boosted demand for products from other countries...,"
"According to data released by the International Monetary Organization, the growth rate of global trade volume this year will exceed 10%,"
"Under such a situation, I really don't understand Mr. Feng's conclusion,"
"We can also look at another piece of news released by the International Monetary Organization. In fact, in September, they raised the global economic growth for this year and next year by 0.2 percentage points,"
"Their forecasts are 5.1% and 4.9% respectively, which fully demonstrates their optimism about the future global economic situation,"
"In any case, the International Monetary Fund has gathered so many first-class economists from around the world. The views of such an authoritative international organization are always credible,"
"So, I have to say that although Mr. Feng's views on some issues were indeed correct in the past, this time, his conclusion is really a bit hasty,"
After finally finishing what he had said from several experts, Liu Jizhong felt a little proud and was ready to receive everyone's applause, but it didn't happen.
"Expert," Mr. Chen only said three words.
"Yeah, expert," someone else said.
This is obviously not a compliment or a word of affirmation.
At this time, someone said, "Mr. Feng, Mr. Feng is here,"
Immediately, most of the people rushed towards the door, leaving Liu Jizhong standing there blankly.
Are you so discriminating against experts and so superstitious about Feng Yiping?
