Chapter 2219: Trade-Offs

Before Liu Jizhong could figure it out, another call came in. He had to answer this one, and he had to smile, "Leader,"

"Director Liu, there is a movement, you need to pay attention," the caller was Vice Mayor Sun.

"Mayor, tell me,"

"The project in the CBD of your High-tech Zone was originally promised to be delivered on October 21 last year, right?" Vice Mayor Sun asked.

This is another nuisance.

This big project, which can bring him at least 9 figures of income, has never been able to keep up with the plan due to lack of funds.

"Mayor, because we want to make Dongcheng Building a benchmark project for Dongcheng, the requirements for this project are extremely strict, which may cause a certain delay in progress, but don't worry..."

"Yes, yes," Vice Mayor Sun interrupted him, "You must have a reason, but it's not to reassure me, but to reassure the owners."

"I have seen reports from the district. From the end of last year to now, more than 50 people have reported this issue to the competent authorities. Looking at the trend, the number of people is still increasing,"

"My only request is that there cannot be another mass incident. Your airline is currently developing well, but you have to understand that your current situation was hard-won,"

"I understand, Mayor Sun. I will definitely explain to the owners and obtain their understanding on the delivery time. I will never cause trouble to the leaders again." No matter whether the other side could hear it or not, he patted his chest. Boom boom.

"That's good, I'm just reminding you," Vice Mayor Sun said, "But no matter how many things happen, the priorities must be clearly distinguished. There must be no more mass incidents,"

Liu Jizhong keenly discerned some other meanings from these words. He said there were too many things to do. Does this mean that I have had too little contact with him recently?

He thought about it for a while, feeling a little anxious and confused for a while, as if he really wasn't active enough.

"I understand. Thank you mayor for your concern. I'll treat you to tea another day at the same place."

"The top priority is to eliminate this hidden danger first," Vice Mayor Sun hung up the phone.

For the current boss Liu, if any other leader ordered him to do things in such a tone, he would definitely feel uncomfortable, but Deputy Mayor Sun really has this qualification.

The last time he caused a mass incident was when workers surrounded the government because they owed money for a project. In the end, it was Vice Mayor Sun who helped him raise money to break the siege.

But for Liu Jizhong now, doing the work of the owners is really not the most urgent thing.

He remembered his brother Liu Jishan's words, "If this continues, everyone will collapse."

This possibility really exists.

In the past, he could barely cope with the game of 8 bottles and 3 caps, but now with the addition of a gold-swallowing behemoth like an airline, he felt that he couldn't handle it.

Judging from the current situation, one of the two major projects, real estate and airlines, may have to be abandoned before the other can continue. Otherwise, neither of them will be able to function, or in other words, all his industries will be ruined. Can't turn.

So, protect real estate or airlines? this is a problem.

On this day, Liu Jizhong stayed in the company until late at night.

…………

Early the next morning, Dongcheng Group's only overseas returnee, who often resembles a mascot, was introduced to various partners and media by Liu Jizhong. The other vice president besides Liu Jishan was called to the office by Liu Jizhong.

"Peter," Liu Jizhong asked his secretary to pour him a cup of coffee, "I hope you will put down all the work you are currently doing and focus on the other two aspects."

"First, formulate plans for our airlines to be listed on A-shares, H-shares, or overseas,"

"Second, abroad, I hope it will be Wall Street, looking for investors for us,"

"Is it also an investment in airlines?" Peter Lee confirmed.

"Yes, it's the airline,"

After a night of painful and torturous thinking, Liu Jizhong had made a choice. He decided to focus all resources on developing the airline.

Although real estate development is a good business in the long run, it is somewhat unstable due to the influence of policies and other factors.

This is one aspect.

On the other hand, if Liu Jizhong and his Dongcheng were engaged in real estate development, they would only have some influence in the province, which was not in line with his ambitions.

Airlines like this will bring widespread attention and influence, and it will also be easier to raise funds through listings and allow more institutions to invest in projects, which are more worthy of development.

When it comes to attracting investment from Wall Street, who is more likely to win the favor of bankers, between a real estate company with influence outside the province and a well-known airline company in China?

The results speak for themselves.

"Chairman, the painting is here," the secretary walked in with two employees holding a painting each.

"Okay, hang it there, hang it," Liu Jizhong said, pointing to the wall behind his desk.

Those are two portraits, one Chinese and one foreign.

The Chinese one is Mr. Chen, the founder of HNA, and the foreign one is Virgin Branson. These are his two favorite people in the aviation industry.

The reason why he decided to focus his development on airlines was also influenced by these two colleagues.

After leading the airlines on the right track, these two people took the airlines as the center and extensively entered the upstream, downstream and related industries, and finally successfully built a comprehensive large-scale group.

This is exactly what he wants.

Therefore, it doesn't matter if we abandon all other projects now. In the future, when the airline gets on the right track, it will still be able to develop again, and it will develop even better.

After looking at the two successful colleagues for a long time, under the gaze of the two colleagues behind him, Liu Jizhong picked up the phone and said, "Mr. Zhu, come to my office."

…………

When Zhu Wubo (male) walked into Liu Jizhong's office, he found that the furnishings of the boss's office had changed somewhat. There were two more paintings on the wall, and a model of the Dongcheng Building, the CBD project of the High-tech Zone, was placed on the table.

"Chairman,"

"Mr. Zhu, sit down," Liu Jizhong asked Zhu Wubo to sit down. "There are two things I want you to do," he said straight to the point.

"Dongcheng Building, all subsequent mortgages will be placed with China Construction Bank on Jiefang Road,"

Zhu Wubo was stunned for a moment and asked, "Chairman, shouldn't we be at ICBC? This was an additional condition for ICBC to give us a loan of 130 million yuan,"

Of course Liu Jizhong knew this, but because he was short of money, he took out a loan from China Construction Bank under the same conditions, so the next mortgage would naturally be placed with China Construction Bank.

"I'll take care of those issues, and you just have to implement them," Liu Jizhong said.

After making the choice, his thoughts suddenly became clear on what to do.

"Okay," seeing Liu Jizhong saying so definitely, Zhu Wubo thought that he had already coordinated the relevant matters.

"This half floor will be given to your real estate company from now on," Liu Jizhong said, pointing to the 16th floor of one of the Dongcheng Buildings.

"Really?" This time, Zhu Wubo really felt a little surprised.

Although Dongcheng has developed several real estate projects, so far they do not have their own buildings. All companies rent office buildings.

Under such circumstances, the office conditions of these executives are not as good as Liu Jizhong's.

Now, it is finally time to replace the shotgun with the cannon.

Before he was overjoyed, Liu Jizhong pointed to the two attached commercial buildings and half of the underlying businesses and said, "I hope you can sell these as soon as possible."

"Ah?" Zhu Wubo really couldn't hide his confusion this time, "Chairman, many of these units have been sold."

Liu Jizhong raised his head and glanced at him, "I know,"

"We will sell the remaining ones as soon as possible," Zhu Wubo said immediately.

"I mean, these, Liu Jizhong pointed to those places again, "Sell it again,"

Zhu Wubo was not born this time, but his mouth opened slightly but never closed.

Is this asking me to sell more than one house?

Liu Jizhong took a pen and paper, "This is the commission we will give to sales and your supervisor this time,"

He wrote two numbers on the paper.

Zhu Wubo's mouth hasn't closed yet, because that's double the commission.

"All contracts are signed with the company," Liu Jizhong said again.

This means that even if there is trouble in the future, those owners will only find trouble in Dongcheng.

"Our next project, which is a project on supporting land allocated to airlines by the province, will be launched soon, so the demands of these owners in the future will be easily resolved,"

This is the solution.

Zhu Wubo thought nervously for a while, his eyes circling between the model and the piece of paper with the numbers that made him excited. Finally, he nodded, "Chairman, we will definitely raise more funds for the company. "

"Very good," Liu Jizhong also breathed a sigh of relief and leaned back on the sofa very relaxedly.

If Zhu Wubo doesn't agree, this matter will be really troublesome.

Of course, no matter what, in the end, the strategy he set must be implemented.

Whether he ignored ICBC, which provided him with a loan, or asked his subordinates to oversell their first house, Liu Jizhong did not feel any discomfort after careful consideration.

Although he can imagine that the ICBC branch that originally gave him a loan will be dealt with by their superiors soon, from the president to the person in charge of the loan; although he can imagine that those who worked hard and bought a house with others repeatedly In the next few years, customers of the store will spend a lot of time and energy due to such an unfortunate encounter, and may even end up losing their families because of it.

so what?

These things were not initiated by me, Liu Jizhong.

As far as he knew, among those successful businessmen, who was clean behind the scenes?

Is it just because they succeeded later that they not only changed their own destiny, but also changed the past?

Furthermore, at the beginning, he, Liu Jizhong, had even reversed a car and was kidnapped. These things were not a big deal to him.

Especially when your own airline is developing prosperously.

Shopping malls are like battlefields.

Since it is a battlefield, it is inevitable that some generals will die after their achievements.

There is no way, the development of airlines is the most important.

"By the way, Mr. Liu's main focus in the near future will be on human resources. I will also go to internationally renowned universities to inspect their MBA and EMBA programs and how they cultivate reserve talents. I should There is no more energy to focus on this aspect of work,"

"So, I will leave these two things to you, Mr. Zhu,"

His eldest brother, Liu Jishan, knew very well that he was a bit pedantic and could keep track of his achievements, but he would never take risks and had no courage to ignore the rules, so he was completely unsuitable for starting a business.

Therefore, Liu Jizhong felt that he could hide this kind of thing for a while.

"Good chairman,"

After finally arranging all the matters, Liu Jizhong felt that his body and mind were clear again. Hum, "like a dragon trapped in a bird's nest"? Just watch how I push away the dark clouds and see the sun.

…………

Badaling.

Feng Yiping took the group's executives for a walk in π town. Today, he will hold another meeting.

Intelligent automation expert Bai Pengfei introduced to Feng Yiping, "Judging from the current progress, purely in terms of delivery function, aerial drones are making faster progress."

"Is it because it is easy to plan routes in the air, there are no other interferences, and your own safety is more guaranteed?" Feng Yiping asked.

"Yes, small unmanned vehicles traveling on the ground have more projects to overcome,"

"Of course, from a practical point of view, the same is true for drones. Whether it is payload capacity or control system... there are still many problems waiting to be solved,"

Pan Shimin, the person in charge here, was pointing at the drones hovering in the sky and introducing them to Jin Ling with some pride.

Fang Yingzhi glanced at Feng Yiping and said, "This one won't fall, right?"

Pan Shimin also glanced over there, "Don't worry, the ones we're releasing now are as stable as our Mr. Feng,"
