Chapter 2168: Seems to Have Made the Wrong Choice of Venue

As an upstart in the aviation industry as described by the media, Liu Jizhong still got the opportunity to speak on stage this time.

This is not the first time such a symposium has been held by the province, and it is not the first time he has participated.

However, this was a rare symposium in which two major leaders of the province attended at the same time, and it was also the first time that he had the opportunity to appear and speak in front of so many well-known colleagues.

After his name was called by the host, he stood up, buttoned up his custom-made suit in London, adjusted his preferred red tie, and stepped onto the podium amidst everyone's applause.

It's not that he wanted to show off his momentum, it was mainly because he felt that his steps were a little unsteady.

The podium located to the left of the rostrum and in front of the leaders' long table was very ordinary, but in Liu Jizhong's current view, even the solemn dark red paint looked a bit magnificent.

From his seat in the second row of the audience to the podium, the total distance is less than 50 steps. However, in this distance of less than 50 steps, he has walked for more than 50 years, and at this moment, he finally reached the end. .

For Feng Yiping, this was just a speech, but for Liu Jizhong, this speech meant a lot, a lot.

When he finally stood behind the podium, he looked at the many well-known businessmen in the audience who had not had the opportunity to exchange business cards with them a few years ago. Even if they didn't look at him with admiration, they at least looked at him seriously, and Rather than looking at him perfunctorily, Liu Jizhong felt that this was the moment when he truly returned home in glory.

He admired the saying that wealth does not return to its hometown, just like walking in brocade at night.

When his restaurant became famous, when his travel company gained popularity, when his real estate company built its first project... he had returned home many times.

However, the so-called "township" of those who returned to their hometowns before was still too small. This time, the township they returned to has finally become an entire province.

This can be said to be a leap.

Standing behind this podium, standing in front of the main leaders of the province and well-known businessmen from the province, this also means the official and private recognition and affirmation of his strength and influence.

Although he was on the 100 Rich List and Forbes Rich List for the first time, and although he said he was dissatisfied with those two lists for underestimating his strength, in his heart, he was actually still happy and proud.

However, in the real circle, everyone's recognition of that list is actually not too high.

Including when Feng Yiping ascended to the throne of the richest man in the country for the first time, many people did not really agree with the result. As a country where many people believe in keeping their wealth secret, are there wealthy people who keep their wealth secret? Considering the series of events after the founding of the People's Republic of China, even if there were, it would not be too much, and the upper limit of wealth would not be too high.

But what is certain is that there are indeed rich people who are not on the list, but their net worth is no less than many people on the list.

If you look at the first few editions of the rich list, you will clearly see that some rich people who were at the top of the list initially did not have any problems and their companies are still making great strides in development. The two lists are insulated.

This is the legendary saying that you can’t get on the list by spending money.

If it weren't for Feng Yiping's company's outstanding performance in the Internet field, his titles as the richest man in China and the richest man in Asia would not be taken seriously by everyone.

This is especially true for Liu Jizhong's inclusion on the list. Whether it is 800 million or 2.5 billion, not many people will take it seriously. However, when the province arranges for him to stand on this podium, this really means that the province Both the official and the private sector recognized his strength.

Liu Jizhong, who finally stood behind the stage, looked calm on the outside, but inside he was really agitated. "Dear leaders and distinguished guests,"

After saying this, he looked into the eyes of the powerful colleagues in the audience and felt that he didn't know what to say.

The people in the audience only saw him lowering his head and looking at the podium, rubbing his hands back and forth on the podium.

Is this a forgotten word?

Feng Yiping turned his eyes away, and Jin Ling whispered in his ear, "Are you impatient?"

A few people away from Feng Yiping, Mr. Chen, who was also sitting in the front row, looked at the stage and shook his head imperceptibly. At this time, it doesn't matter if you forget your words, just take out the speech, but after you say this After saying this, why don't you pay attention to the leaders on the stage?

Can you forget this basic etiquette, or do you no longer pay attention to the leaders on the stage?

As expected, Liu Jizhong took out the speech script from the hidden pocket of his suit, glanced at it a few times, and continued his speech, "We, Dongcheng, are a company born and raised in the province. Over the years, we have been breathing the same breath and sharing the same destiny with our province. We have been together through thick and thin,”

"Today, we have developed into a nationally famous company integrating catering, tourism, real estate, and aviation industries,"

"It can be said that the development history of Dongcheng is the epitome of our province's economic construction,"

Mr. Chen shook his head again. This was a bit loud again.

According to what he said, he seemed to regard his company as a representative of private enterprises in the province.

This is really not the case.

If we really want to elect such a representative, no matter how we look at it, it won’t be Dongcheng’s turn.

But what Liu Jizhong said later made him feel even more unbearable. On such an occasion, he focused on his experience in starting a business.

Speaking of this occasion, it is really not an occasion to advertise or promote yourself.

Even though the main leaders of the province were sitting on it, many people in the audience still started whispering to each other.

Please, of all of you who can sit here today, who hasn’t ordered some heroic deeds, and who hasn’t had a few brushes?

It’s the end of the year, who’s schedule is not in a hurry? Who has the patience to listen to your self-advocacy here?

Maybe he was too immersed in his own emotions, maybe he regarded this venue as his company's conference room and the audience as his employees. Liu Jizhong seemed not to see everyone's reaction and continued to follow his speech. The manuscript comes.

But his last speech made the leaders, who were indifferent to their emotions and anger, look serious.

"...the aviation industry's driving role in regional economy is huge and irreplaceable,"

"For a central province like ours, attracting investment related to economic development potential is indeed not an easy task, but how should we look at it? One of my planes is worth hundreds of millions, and projects worth hundreds of millions. How much work do our relevant staff have to do before we can negotiate? "

"And our Dongcheng Airlines has not one or two aircraft, but at least 20. This is an investment of tens of billions, and they are all high-quality assets...,"

At this time, even Jin Ling couldn't help but whisper in Feng Yiping's ear, "He has 20 planes now?"

"It seems like, three?" Feng Yiping said.

To be honest, he did not quite understand that Mr. Liu regarded his vision as performance, similar to treating an off-plan house of at least a few years as a ready-made house.

This may be the difference between people. Some people have assets of more than tens of billions, but they always like to say that they are only less than one billion. But some people, when their assets are only one billion, they can’t wait to claim that they are worth hundreds. 100 million.

Fortunately, Liu Jizhong did not forget to say the last sentence, "I hope that all friends here can, like Dongcheng, take building the economy of our province as their own responsibility, and like Dongcheng, increase investment in the province...,"

Not to mention the self-praise in his words and the desire to put himself above other guests, the key point is that when he finished his speech, the provincial leaders began to applaud, and the secretary-general who presided over the meeting stood up and prepared When shaking hands with him, he was so self-absorbed that he strode forward without even looking over there.

Maybe it was because I was so excited that I forgot about it all of a sudden.

…………

Before convening the group discussion, Feng Yiping was surrounded by people again, asking questions related to his previous speech, "Mr. Feng, based on the question you mentioned, what do you think we need to pay attention to most?" ?" Mr. Chen asked.

This question can be said to be the voice of the people surrounding him. Along the way, they have seen too many colleagues fall on the road ahead, and they don't want to be the next one.

Feng Yiping thought for a while, "My opinion is that in the next few years, we'd better be as prudent as possible in terms of investment and pay attention to the ratio of self-held funds to financing. If we rely too much on financing, we may be in trouble." Leading to greater risks,”

Liu Jizhong floated by with his head held high, Tsk, what he said was absolutely correct nonsense!
