Chapter 2782 Choice
"Mr. Liu, Mr. Liu?" Mr. Wu called him twice.
"Plus...Plus Mr. Wu, you also know," Liu Jizhong calmed down and continued, "Oil prices have been rising in the past few years..." He saw his wife glance here.
Why did you decide to set up a place like this in the first place? The table was so big that it was hard to hear what was being said across from me. "The price of oil has increased, which has led to a significant increase in our operating costs."
"Since its establishment, Dongcheng Airlines has been the leader among private airlines in terms of market size, occupancy rate, and profitability."
What he said is not entirely false. Dongcheng's current scale is really the largest among private airlines, even larger than some old airline companies in one province.
But talking about attendance rate and profitability is just empty talk.
"Although we haven't taken a flight from Dongcheng yet, we have heard that Dongcheng's service is also first-rate," said Mr. Wu.
His words made Liu Jizhong, who was in a complicated mood, very happy, "Yes, we have been emphasizing service,"
"With the efforts of everyone in the company, although saying these words will make some companies lose face, at least in the province, our airline is already stronger than Air China and China Eastern Airlines, which have been developing in the province for decades. "
Considering Mr. Wu's status, he added, "Of course, this is also thanks to the support of leaders at all levels,"
However, Mr. Lu, who was opposite, could not hear what he said.
"Although we have achieved good results, we have never been complacent. We are determined to make the company bigger and stronger as soon as possible, accelerate the development of our province into an aviation powerhouse, and better serve the folks in the province and compatriots across the country. ,"——Liu Jizhong says these clichés now, and there is really no need to write them in draft.
"Considering the aircraft we will introduce next, Mr. Wu, I believe you also know that now is a good time to buy aircraft at a low price," he said.
When he said this, Mr. Wu naturally had to say a few words, "Affected by subprime mortgages, Western airlines are reducing the size of their fleets. Whether it is Airbus or Boeing, some aircraft that have been scheduled for production are facing delivery problems. ,"
Liu Jizhong immediately said, "Yes, so we hope to raise a sum of funds first to take advantage of the opportunity."
He knows very well that in order to get a loan, apart from off-site efforts such as spending a lot of money to entertain tonight, you said that the loan is mainly used to continue to expand the scale of business, and the effect will definitely be better.
"Mr. Lu has always been very supportive of the development of his hometown," said Mr. Wu. "He also appreciates Mr. Liu's airline."
He also added in a low voice, "Mr. Lu always favors people from his hometown,"
Liu Jizhong glanced at the person opposite him, and he could be said to have a green eye.
This is the problem that comes with finding a wife like this. Maybe she is someone's dream girl back then.
He was almost certain that the reason why the other party agreed to meet him was probably not because of his airline company, but Shen Xue.
Looking at Mr. Wu's smiling face, he suppressed the discomfort in his heart - it was Mr. Wu who suggested that he bring his wife with him, "Yes, we all know,"
"We also ask Mr. Wu to understand our difficulties. The current opportunity is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for private airlines like us,"
At this time, the waiter had poured the wine, and Mr. Lu raised his glass, "For the prosperity of my hometown, and for Mr. Liu's success, of course," he turned to Shen Xue, "For my idol, Shen Xue presided over, let us do it this cup,"
Shen Xue smiled and added, "For Mr. Lu's honorable return to his hometown,"

On the way home, it was a little quiet in the Rolls-Royce.
The streets of the provincial capital are brightly lit, and slogans and posters related to the Olympics are still everywhere on the roadside. People come out of restaurants, clothing stores, hotels, and KTVs... alone, Or two people holding hands.
But looking at it, among these people, few are worried and many are relaxed and happy.
Liu Jizhong couldn't help but wonder, how many of them were trying to force a smile?
How could there be no worries?
The car passed a construction site that was blocked by iron sheets. A year or two ago, Liu Jizhong felt very friendly whenever he saw these things. But now, when he thinks of the construction site, he just feels annoyed.
Those contractors!
Shen Xue leaned quietly on the headrest, looking at the bright lights outside, and watching a girl happily holding a boy's hand and walking out of a domestic brand clothing store with a smile on her face.
Only less than 5 meters away, she could clearly see the joy, satisfaction, and happiness on the girl's face.
Although they were only 5 meters apart, that kind of life was really far away from her.
Ever since I became the host that year, I should have never set foot in a specialty store like this again.
But in the end, it turns out that just going to Hong Kong and shopping in Paris can't guarantee happiness.
However, if she could start from scratch, she thought, she would still make the same choice.
For her, there is still a qualitative difference between happiness of a few hundred yuan and happiness of tens of thousands of yuan.
"Mr. Lu said," she still looked out the window, "he will be accepting many interviews in the past two days. He hopes that I can provide him with some advice. He has an appointment with me tomorrow..."
Liu Jizhong, who had been holding on to the armrest with his hands, suddenly exploded. He slapped hard, "Go to hell!"
As a man, he had endured very hard from the beginning to now. He was really intolerable when he heard that the man surnamed Lu really made such a request.
There should be a bottom line in life and work. Shen Xue is not his lover, but his wife who was married to him in a formal way.
Liu Jizhong once said that if you don't want to sacrifice your wife, you can't catch the wolf, but no matter what, he will never do it.
Even if they are lovers, Liu Jizhong can't do such a thing.
If they have some secret connections outside, it's another matter, but he is a famous figure after all. He can't offer his bedmate with both hands like this.
Shen Xue glanced at the furious Liu Jizhong. She knew the current situation of her husband's company very well. Now, it has really reached a point of helplessness, or in other words, a dead end.
She also knew what Mr. Lu meant.
Men, many of their words will eventually converge into the lines that the famous director Zhang repeated when he made a cameo appearance in a movie, "I miss you so much that I can't sleep," "I miss you so much that I want to sleep," or, "I want to sleep with you..."
The ways of expression are also varied, but in the end, they all remain the same.
"Ji Zhong, don't worry, I can handle it,"
As a woman in the world of fame and fortune, she has dealt with a lot of such covetousness.
Especially after the unfortunate death of her former backer in a car accident, many people expressed their intentions without scruples, but she finally succeeded in getting rid of those guys and didn't let them succeed.
Although it has not been used for so many years, she knows that her skills are still there.
"Besides, I'm a yellow-faced woman, do you think..."
"Don't say it," Liu Ji Zhong interrupted Shen Xue, "You don't have to entertain them anymore, they, hum, hum, I don't expect it,"
Women often claim that they understand men best, but Liu Ji Zhong knows more about some men's obsessions.
The so-called obsession, in many cases, has nothing to do with the object of obsession, but only with the obsessive person himself.
After many men succeed, what they want to do most is to fulfill their original dreams and make up for their previous shortcomings.
Moreover, he looked at Shen Xue. Because of proper maintenance, although the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes could not be covered over the years, she was more graceful and had a better temperament than before because of the pampered life over the years.
Even standing with the young wives of other business colleagues in their twenties, she was still the most dazzling one.
This will only make some people more obsessed.
"I've decided to go find a loan shark,"
Loan sharks only want money, and here, in addition to money, they also... damn shameless!
However, when he thought of the extra money he had to spend on borrowing loan sharks... but he was shaken for a while, and then he immediately became firm.
For men, some things cannot be measured by money.
He hugged Shen Xue, "Don't worry, we will definitely make a smooth transition. For you, I am willing to do anything."
…………
At this time, a few people drove around the streets of the provincial capital to satisfy their appetite. One person saw the sign of Dongcheng Seafood Restaurant from a distance, "Let's go there, Dongcheng, I've been there before, it's pretty good."
His proposal attracted a lot of curses, "Who the hell still goes to Dongcheng? It's better to let a company that cheats home buyers like this go bankrupt as soon as possible."
"Can't go bankrupt? Isn't his airline still so powerful?"
"Powerful, huh! It's just a showpiece,"
