Xueba Fengyun

When Liu Miao mentioned the names of several large groups that the Xia family had recently formed in Dongfang City, Father Liu's expression also became ugly.Father Liu is a very traditional businessman and has always kept politics at arm's length. In the eyes of the outside world, Father Liu has no political stance.Regardless of whether the Republican Party or the Democratic Party is running for the election, Liu's father's political donations are the same.But now the Xia family has successively established Shengshi Huyu, Dongxing High-tech and Huangpu Industrial, all for the Kirin Group.

Although Qilin Group was established in a very low-key manner on New Year's Day, such a behemoth quickly fell into the eyes of interested people.Because Uncle Liu is a Republican, so many Republicans cited Dad Liu as a "comrade", so Dad Liu gradually felt that Dongfang City, the stronghold of the Democratic Party, was under unprecedented pressure. Fortunately, the main investment of Qilin Group is now in Dongfang City. Otherwise, Father Liu would really be embarrassed by this undercurrent in Dongfang City.

Originally, Father Liu had his eyes on a site at the junction of Dongfang City, Zhejiang Province, and Jiangsu Province. It happened that the Metro Line [-] of Dongfang City passed through here, and it would extend to Suzhou and Zhejiang Provinces in the future. The first case of development cooperation".Father Liu also planned to take advantage of this east wind to build Xinlongmen Square here, but the land that Father Liu had been promising for a long time was finally taken away by a company named Huangpu Real Estate inexplicably.Soon, this Huangpu Real Estate announced that it would build several commercial plazas in Dongfang City, and the posture was completely directed at Xinlongmen Square.Of course, the parent company of Huangpu Real Estate is Huangpu Industrial.

It is natural to have competition in the market, but such a direct conflict is something that many businessmen avoid.In the shopping malls, it is important to stay on the front line when doing things, so that we can meet each other in the future.However, Huangpu Real Estate's plan to kill Qilin Group made Liu's father's anger aroused long ago.After hearing Liu Miao finished speaking, Father Liu also snorted coldly and said, "People nowadays think we are mud legs from Jiangnan Province! I want to see how many people there are in this tiny Dongfang City Can knock me down! Some things, since they did the first day of junior high school, don't blame us for doing fifteenth!

"Miaomiao, you can do whatever you want with Yanjing's affairs. What you proposed at the beginning is indeed the right way. If you hadn't put the Titan Group's production site in Gusu City and kept the Internet industry part In Pengcheng. Maybe we will be shut down and beaten by them in Dongfang City, but since we can’t eat us now, we have to see the price of biting us. Last time we discussed my import and export logistics Where to put the center, I think it should be placed in Hangzhou. The land price and labor costs there are much lower than those in Dongfang City. Then our domestic logistics turnover center should be placed in Jinling City. Anyway, Jinling City to Hangzhou is not only There are railways, highways, and even shipping, which is very convenient.”

After arousing the anger of Liu's father and Xia's family, Liu Miao mentioned his plan to buy a private jet.

"We need to purchase at least three business jets capable of performing domestic routes and short-haul international routes; at the same time, we may also need to purchase one or two large aircraft capable of performing international long-haul routes. In terms of large aircraft, I personally think Boeing 747 or Airbus A320 is a good choice.”

Liu Miao proposed to buy a private jet mainly for the convenience of travel, so the large planes chosen are basically mid-to-high-end models.After all, it's not easy to make money by yourself, and it's not like those oil tycoons in the Middle East, it's okay to buy an Airbus A380, and then transform it into a penthouse to fly around.Their private jet has a real swimming pool. Thinking of this, Liu Miao shuddered.Liu Miao personally prefers the 747. Although this model is a bit old, it is better than a classic.Moreover, after several modifications by Boeing, the new modified model has actually met the needs of people today.

As for why he didn't choose the larger 767, Liu Miao knew that the 767 once had the reputation of "killer Boeing". The accident rate of the 767 is too high, and several large-scale air crashes are related to it, so Liu Miao will not take his own life as a joke.As for small and medium-sized business jets, Liu Miao naturally chose Gulfstream's jets.In addition, Liu Miao also proposed to purchase several helicopters to facilitate travel from Dongfang City to Jinling, Gusu and Hangzhou.

When Liu Miao proposed a package of aircraft purchase agreements, the whole room fell silent.Although there are many wealthy people in China who buy private jets, they can only buy one.As a result, Liu Miao not only wanted to buy, but also proposed to purchase seven or eight planes at once. Although there were also cheap planes such as helicopters and business jets (not cheap at all), they were definitely not so easy to afford.

Grandma Liu even asked: "Why does our family buy so many planes? Don't they usually fly there and rust?"

"Of course not." Liu Miao was a little dumbfounded. "I checked the debt ratio of Kirin Group, and our debt ratio is too low."

That's right, the better the capital structure and the better the company's performance, the more banks are willing to lend to you.Because such companies have low investment risks and high and stable expected returns.After all, banks also want to make money, so the financial center of Kirin Group has been visited by several banks.Although they all know that the Kirin Group also controls a small commercial bank, they believe that the capital of this bank is not enough to support the cash flow of the entire Kirin today.

"Applying for a combination of long-term and short-term loans from banks is beneficial to broaden our cash flow, and we can gain more connections through banks."

The so-called value-added services provided by many banks to large customers are actually a kind of business and social convenience.After all, in the modern commercial society, banks are indeed the institutions with the most connections and relationships.Therefore, banks take advantage of this advantage and sell it to large customers as value-added services, which can be regarded as making the best use of everything.

Liu Miao has calculated that the delivery cycle of a general helicopter takes one year, that of a business jet takes two to three years, and that of a large aircraft takes at least three years.This is just a so-called "green leather machine" without any decoration and installation. After the customer finalizes the decoration and installation, it will take at least a year or so.Therefore, it is a very wise choice to apply for a bank loan, because private jets are not only convenient for internal transportation.The important thing is that these aircraft can also be entrusted to special aircraft leasing companies for short-term lease, so Liu Miao does not think that buying private jets will cause too much financial harm to the company.

After Liu Miao explained her reasons, the Liu family was actually a little moved.Ms. Liu's usual office is in Yanjing, and she has to take a plane every weekend when she comes back for reunion.It is a waste of time to go in and out of the airport every time, and Yanjing and Dongfang are notorious for their planes not being on time at the airport, so every time Ms. Liu flies back and forth, she is tired from the journey.After Liu Miao's calculations and found that there was no need to bear too much money, Liu's mother was the first to vote in favor.Soon, Liu's father also voted for it.In addition to the convenient transportation, Father Liu's approval vote is more because private jets can reflect the strength of a company and a family, which is enough to deter some Xiaoxiao's secretive actions.

"My opinion is that two business jets should be purchased first. One is mainly used for domestic routes and international short-distance routes; the other can buy large business jets that can be used for intercontinental routes after refueling. As for large planes and helicopters, buy one One plane is enough. But our family must have a rule that at any time, Liu Miao, Liu Yan and I cannot appear on the same plane."

Although Father Liu's words were a bit abrupt, Liu Miao quickly understood.Liu's father was worried that an accident would lead to the destruction of the entire Liu family. In fact, the British royal family is also implementing such rules. All heirs to the throne cannot take the same plane, for the sake of family safety.

After everyone decided to buy the plane, Liu's father notified the financial center, saying that he hoped to talk to the managers of several banks.Although the Chinese New Year is approaching at this time, most banks have fallen into the pre-holiday burnout period.But when they heard that Liu Guoqing, the chairman and president of Kirin Group, planned to borrow money, all the banks immediately took action.They came up with a variety of loan plans and added various value-added services, hoping to win this loan contract that would allow them to advance to a higher level before the year.

Liu's father told the bank managers about the amount he needed and the investment direction of the amount.The expansion of Xinlongmen Square is naturally the primary investment destination of this sum. Father Liu has already planned to enter the Nanyang provinces that he has not explored since the beginning of the year.At the same time, another major use of the funds is Mama Liu's New Star Entertainment. After a few years of small troubles, Mama Liu plans to let New Star Entertainment expand its recruitment after the new year.Firstly, Xinxing Entertainment acquired imax, and joined forces with Xinlongmen to form the world's largest imax theater chain; secondly, Mama Liu won many copyrights of Marvel and Hasbro in one go, and a series of movie masterpieces will be released one after another in the following year; finally It is Mama Liu's flagship variety show project, "If You Are the One", "The Voice of China", "Where Are We Going, Dad" and "Run, Brother" will officially land on the variety show time slots of major channels next year.

In the end, the whereabouts of the funds was the purchase of the Liu family's private jet.When they heard that the Liu family planned to buy four planes at once, these bank managers were a little messy. Are rich people so self-willed?In the end, Liu's father's loan demand was jointly taken up by two banks, Huaxia Bank and Huaxia Commercial Bank. After all, as the number one and second banks in China, they were the only ones with such great strength to be able to take it up.

Just after the Liu family's loan intention was confirmed, the last issue of "China Business Weekly" reported on the situation of the Liu family's Kirin Group next year with "Auspicious Snow Awakens a Good Year, Auspicious Beasts Welcome the New Year" as a special feature.Kirin has always been regarded as an auspicious animal by China, and the aggressive investment of Kirin Group next year shows that Kirin Group is optimistic about the domestic economic situation.At the same time, "Film Magazine" also published the progress of the series of imax3D large-scale production films that Xinxing Entertainment Group is currently shooting, saying that next year or the year after will be the first year of imax movies, and a new shooting method may subvert the existing ones. box office market.

The luxury magazine "Style" did not let go of the matter of the Liu family's purchase of aircraft, and introduced the types of aircraft purchased by the Liu family and the approximate cost.What made Liu Miao the most amusing was that this magazine actually paid for Liu Miao's whole day's decoration plan.It's a pity that Liu Miao didn't have much interest in their local tyrant gold plan, otherwise Liu Miao really planned to throw this plan to the aircraft company directly.

After the Chinese New Year, Liu Miao took a plane from Dongfang City to Yanjing alone, and at the same time, Mr. Ma also set off from Pengcheng.Because the China Game Industry Trade Union's summit annual meeting will be held in the next day, Liu Miao and others rushed there to take charge of the last counter-instigating action.
