Chapter 2218 Drawing Lots Worrying About Money

Shen Xue knew that this was a real bad fortune without the monk sitting behind the table with an unfathomable smile.

"Is this how you all play it?" Shen Xue threw the fortune stick on the table.

"Donor, everything is a law..."

"I won't fall for your tricks," Shen Xue took out a Fendi wallet from her platinum bag, pulled out two hundred-dollar bills and slapped them on the table, and took Liu Jizhong's hand, "Let's go,"

The young monk next to the old monk quickly raised his hand and called out, "Donor, do you want to hear how to resolve it?"

The short man held by the beautiful woman paused for a moment, and just when the young monk thought he had a chance, the two men quickened their pace again.

The old monk also looked lonely, thinking that he could make a fortune, but he was screwed!

These people in the world know as much about luxury brands as those girls who believe in "cures all diseases".

With these two dressed like this, it would be no problem to suppress them first and then praise them, and let the other party burn a few incense sticks.

Who knew that they would not follow the routine.

When people come here to pray to Buddha and draw lots, aren't they usually seeking peace of mind? If they don't continue after drawing a bad lot, how can they feel at peace?

"Hubby, don't believe them, they are just trying to cheat money. Let's go to the one above," Shen Xue, who walked out of the mountain gate and put on sunglasses, took Liu Jizhong and prepared to continue walking up the mountain.

"Forget it," Liu Jizhong shook his head, "let's go back,"

He did come here to seek peace of mind, but he didn't expect to be more upset.

He didn't even have to go to another house, and he knew that even if he drew it again at this house, it would definitely be a good lot.

But what's the point?

As for the solution?

What he encountered is a homophone for drawing lots, "worrying about money,"

What he needs to do is also a homophone for drawing lots, "raising money,"

This is not a problem that can be solved by a good lot.

Since last year, Liu Jizhong has been giving speeches and teaching classes everywhere. Now he has a very painful realization that life is the best teacher.

But this is the most irresponsible teacher. He knows how to give you problems, but never teaches you how to solve them.

This is also a very bad teacher. What he is best at is to let you say something in the past to hit you in the face.

From last year to now, he has always said a set of rhetoric, "The total cost of a plane's rental, fuel and landing fees for one day is more than 300,000 yuan,"

"And we have to fly 6 times a day, with a total of nearly 800 seats to sell. Our flights now generally have a 90% occupancy rate, so each ticket only needs to sell more than 400 yuan to recover the cost, so it's easy to make a profit!"

This set of rhetoric has won him a lot of reputation, because when he announced that his airline was profitable, the state-owned aviation giants generally had a hard time.

According to the data in the first half of 2006, China Eastern Airlines lost 1.46 billion yuan, China Southern Airlines lost 835 million yuan, and Shanghai Airlines also lost 163 million yuan. Only the industry leader Air China made a profit, but it was only 147 million yuan.

"Based on our experience, as we have more and more passenger planes and more and more routes in the future, this virtuous cycle will surely continue,"

"The aviation sector will be an important source of income for us, which will feed back to our business sectors including travel companies, scenic spots, and catering, and drive all of our related business sectors of Dongcheng to develop in great strides together..."

He said this set of words once the day before yesterday, but when he said this, his eyes were smiling and his heart was full of tears.

The fact is that the aviation sector is not only not an important source of income for them, but also cannot feed back to his other companies. On the contrary, all his other companies are transfusing blood to airlines. In other words, airlines are holding back all his industries.

The key is that airlines are like a bottomless pit that can never be filled, so Liu Jizhong can't say when this hindrance will be delayed - in fact, the main reason for filling it is that his capital chain is originally fragile and he is originally short of money everywhere. Specifically, the real estate sector is already in debt everywhere. Now there is such a gold-eating monster, which is even worse.

The cost of a plane a day, how can it be only 300,000? After the cost of a plane a day exceeded 1 million, Liu Jizhong never paid attention to the specific figures.

Anyway, he knew that with four planes, he would have to bear more than 3 million every day when he opened his eyes, which is about 1.5 billion a month.

Although some routes of airlines do have good occupancy rates, that good is based on the special tours launched by his Dongcheng International Travel.

It's just transferring the income that originally belonged to the travel company to the airline.

And if it goes on like this, the travel company will become more and more unsustainable, because he really has no money to fill the travel company.

Shen Xue looked at Liu Jizhong who was sitting in the car with a frown, "Husband, how about replacing all these pilots?"

Liu Jizhong patted her hand, "No, I can solve it."

These pilots are also a big worry for Boss Liu at the moment.

At the beginning, when he was boldly carrying big boxes of money and poaching these people from other companies, he didn't expect that these guys who looked very professional would be so difficult to serve.

Including this time, from the first flight last year to now, this is the third time they have negotiated with the company about increasing their salaries. The rhythm is very regular, once a quarter.

In addition to the rising oil and raw material prices, the rising labor costs are also one of the main factors for the soaring costs of airlines.

But Liu Jizhong really has no good way to deal with their excessive demands. Those large airlines have substitutes. Here, one person is assigned to one position. If one person is missing, the plane will not be able to fly, which will be a big deal.

Shen Xue said "Oh" and said nothing.

Since Liu Jizhong said he would help her solve the problem of inviting celebrities to the annual meeting before the New Year, but he did not solve it later, and her expectation of standing up where she fell was shattered. After that, she was no longer as confident as before in some of Liu Jizhong's promises.

…………

Just as he sat down in the office, his elder brother Liu Jishan hurried in, "Jizhong," Liu Jishan closed the door, "This won't work,"

"Nearly one-fifth of the employees in restaurants, scenic spots, travel companies, and real estate companies have not arrived at their posts, including some backbones that we have spent a lot of effort to cultivate,"

Why is this happening? Both brothers know it very well.

Before the Spring Festival, not only did they not receive any bonuses, but the salary for the month before the New Year was also withheld.

It's not that they are withholding money, but that they don't have money to pay.

All the funds are tied to the airline.

"Then recruit more. With the reputation of our Dongcheng, are you still afraid of not finding people now?" Liu Jizhong said.

Recruit more? That's not difficult. The difficult thing is that if the salary of the current old employees cannot be paid by the end of this month, I don't know how many will leave.

Liu Jishan knows the financial situation of the group best. Without mentioning other things, just one data has kept him awake at night: as of New Year's Eve last year, Dongcheng had more than 100 disputes over arrears of single projects. According to rough statistics, the amount involved is as high as 436 million.

He sat down, "Second brother, this is not a solution. All companies will go bankrupt!"

"Brother," Liu Jizhong smiled and patted his brother on the shoulder, "Once the next plane arrives and the airline gets on the right track, all problems will not be a problem,"

"You see, by the end of the year, we can start the IPO process. By then, you can worry about how to spend the money,"

He has a clear view of the company's future. Only when the airline goes public can the funding problem be solved.

Therefore, airlines must appear glamorous.

"Go ahead, go ahead and recruit people first," he pushed his brother out the door.

"By the way, keep the training of the newly recruited people simple,"

Simple? Liu Jishan stood there for a long time.

Not spending training fees on newly recruited employees? Does this mean that you are ready to not keep these people?

The phone rang, and Liu Jizhong immediately adjusted it when he saw the number. When he answered the phone, he was already smiling, "Haha, Director Zhou,"

After a few pleasantries, "Mr. Liu,... you'd better not go to these five places recently,"

Liu Jizhong smiled unchanged, "Thank you Director Zhou for your concern, these problems are all minor problems, and we can settle the project funds this month,"

The reason why Director Zhou asked him not to go to those places was because of the project fund dispute, because it involved some cases that were already being executed. They expected that if Liu Jizhong showed up in those places, he would most likely be arrested by the local law enforcement department first.

Just as he put down his phone, the phone rang again. It was from the airline, "Chairman, there are only 32 passengers on the flight to Shenzhen today. Do you want to fly?"

"Fly," Liu Jizhong said without thinking.

In any case, we must not let the outside world see the problem.

But money is always a big problem!

How to get the money? He turned around in the office like a trapped beast.
