Chapter 2781 Opportunity

On the way to the private room with the waiter, Liu Jizhong and Shen Xue were looking around.

Looking at this most high-end restaurant in the provincial capital, Shen Xue obviously felt that the overall decoration and environment of her seafood restaurant were somewhat outdated.

And Liu Jizhong looked at the people who looked like they had status coming in and out of here, and what he was thinking in his mind was, why is the business of my seafood restaurant getting worse and worse?

Then he remembered the days when the two restaurants had just opened. It felt like a dream at that time. For the first time in his life, he felt that it was so easy to make money!

The two restaurants at that time were really like money printing machines. Starting from noon every day, they started printing money.

At that time, he went to restaurants during the day. When Feng Yiping still ate pickles and rice every day, he ate the best seafood that rich people would not order every time. At night, he went to a nightclub to sit down. , flower baskets are delivered at will, so the most beautiful girl in the nightclub can always accompany her...

After just living and drinking for a while, he entered the tourism industry, caught up with the real estate boom, and now has become a world-famous aviation upstart - or so he thought.

Your business is getting bigger and bigger, why can't these days be compared to when there were only two restaurants?

The waiter, who was dressed like a white-collar worker in an office building, led them along a quiet passage decorated with large green plants to two large doors. He knocked lightly and the door was immediately opened by two waiters from both sides. , inside is a private room, or in other words, a banquet hall.

In the huge banquet hall, under the tall crystal lamp, there is a large round table similar to that used at state banquets. In the sitting area next to it, there are two people sitting at this time. Because they are too far apart and there are some old ladies. Although Liu Jizhong knew who the two were, he couldn't see their faces clearly.

Seeing the movement at the door, one of the two people sitting on the sofa next to him stood up first, and the other one also stood up, and the two of them greeted him warmly.

"Mr. Liu, Mrs. Liu, welcome," the person walking in front seemed to be in the prime of life, with a very friendly smile and neat white teeth.

"Hello, Mr. Lu, hello Mr. Wu," Liu Jizhong also said hello to Mr. Lu very warmly. He had inquired about Mr. Wu, who did not like others to address his position outside the office, and Mr. Lu's subordinates.

When shaking hands, he, who was not tall, still bent over very obviously. The person in front of him was the person who could solve his big problem.

"Shen Xue, this is Mr. Lu who I told you has made great achievements in the capital,"

Shen Xue shook Mr. Lu's hand enthusiastically. It turned out that this man was the noble man who might be able to solve the loan problem for her husband. "Hello, Mr. Lu, Mr. Lu, you are the pride of our provincial capital,"

"Haha, how dare you, Mrs. Liu, please come this way," Mr. Lu led Shen Xue aside and pulled out a chair for her in a very gentlemanly manner.

"Thank you," Shen Xue sat down and someone like Mr. Lu pulled up a stool for her. She had enjoyed such treatment before, "Mr. Lu, it's a rare trip back to your hometown. How do you feel?"

"The changes are really big, but the happiest thing is seeing Mrs. Liu, you are still the same as before,"

"When I was still working in the provincial capital, Shen hosted your program. I had to watch it every day. This was also a big regret after I was transferred to other places," said Mr. Lu.

Shen Xue covered her mouth and smiled, "Mr. Lu, you are joking."

Liu Jizhong, who was sitting across from Mr. Wu with Mr. Wu, felt quite uncomfortable watching this scene. He stood up and prepared to deliver the menu himself, "Mr. Lu, this is the best restaurant in the provincial capital..."

"Haha," Mr. Lu was a little less enthusiastic and more polite when facing Mrs. Liu's husband as before. He waved his hand, "As long as you like, Mr. Liu makes the decision."

Mr. Wu next to him smiled and said, "Mr. Liu, let me order a few first."

"Of course, please!"

As Mr. Lu's subordinate, Mr. Wu will certainly know Mr. Lu's taste.

It just seems like, does Mr. Lu really care about what’s on the dining table?

"After all these years, Chairman Shen still has the same style, which is really gratifying,"

"Why, Mr. Lu, are you kidding me? How can a yellow-faced woman like me have any grace?" Shen Xue smiled faintly and reluctantly at this time, "I have not been the host of the TV station for a long time. Mr. Lu, look Have you ever watched the current programs on provincial channels? The girls today are much better than me back then in every aspect."

She glanced across and saw her husband holding a menu and talking to Mr. Lu's staff.

"...Vanilla cod, okay, these are good," Mr. Wu had already finished ordering.

Liu Jizhong added a few more, "...white swallow in clear soup, braised shark's fin,"

Regardless of whether they really don't like eating these, these dishes should make people feel sincerity.

"Please hurry up," Liu Jizhong said to the waiter, looking at his wife opposite Mr. Lu who was accompanying Mr. Lu to socialize.

"Mr. Liu, I heard that your company has encountered a lot of trouble recently?" asked Mr. Wu.

Speaking of this, Liu Jizhong really couldn't help laughing.

After returning to Shengsheng from the capital, he faced a series of troubles. First, there was an accident on the tour company's bus. Although no one was killed, three were slightly injured and two were seriously injured.

Not to mention the financial losses, such a thing happened at such a time, and a total of four leaders, including Vice Mayor Sun, called him directly to criticize him and asked him to do a lot of self-examination.

Later, a flight to Shenzhen with a rare occupancy rate of more than 80% went on strike, and he had to temporarily raise a sum of money to make up for the wages owed to them.

Then, because the project payment promised to be paid before the Mid-Autumn Festival was not paid, after the Mid-Autumn Festival, several project leaders were preparing to take a large number of workers to the district government to seek justice, and he had to temporarily borrow a loan shark to appease them.

And last week, he received a notice from an airport, or an ultimatum, that if Dongcheng could not pay the relevant fees before the end of the month, then they would have to take measures...

He knew very well that the key to all these problems was mainly due to lack of money.

And because all the funds that could be diverted were invested in airlines, this led to various problems in other companies.

The main reason for the safety accidents of travel companies is that most people have been owed wages for more than 3 months.

Working for money and working for three or four months without much money will definitely have different motivation.

Liu Jizhong knows better than anyone that the reason why other companies have not seen a large-scale resignation wave under the current circumstances is because of the halo of Dongcheng.

The main part of Dongcheng's halo is the airline company that he values ​​the most, so the airline company must not be lost.

But now, airline companies are becoming increasingly unsustainable.

He also knows that the safety accidents of travel companies are not accidental. If the funding problem is not solved, then safety accidents may occur at the construction sites of real estate companies and even airline companies.

Especially in airline companies, if safety accidents occur, he knows that he will be doomed.

Although there are insurance companies to cover the bottom, there will definitely be a joint investigation team stationed by then, so won't he be exposed?

The result is not a matter of losing money - it seems that there is no money to lose, even if he has to seek punishment.

It was at this time that he heard that Mr. Lu was going back to his hometown during the National Day.

He knew that for Mr. Lu, who was in charge of credit, helping him solve at least 100 million or 200 million loans was not a big deal at all.

He had gone to great lengths to get the chance to receive Mr. Lu.

At this time, he did not dare to slack off on Mr. Lu's capable subordinates. "From the data, the performance of our Dongcheng companies is very good, and the same is true for airlines. However, airlines are indeed an industry that requires large investments,"

"Since its establishment, in order to build our province into an aviation powerhouse and live up to the high hopes of our fellow countrymen, our pace has indeed been a little faster. Although it has become the largest private airline in the country, there are indeed some gaps in funding,"

He looked across, and Mr. Lu was saying something to his wife, who was smiling with her hands covering her mouth again.

"Plus..." He forgot what he was going to say next.
