Since the birth of air passenger transport, it has always been considered a way of travel for the rich and powerful. After the emergence of low-cost airlines, air passenger transport has gradually become an affordable travel method for the general public. For a long time in China, flying requires not only a lot of

Money, and he has to be a department-level cadre.

Just having money is not enough.

Starting in the 1990s, class restrictions on passengers were lifted, but the high fares still prohibit the vast majority of people.

After Chen Hai took over as the person in charge of a major airline, he carried out drastic organizational reforms, streamlined administrative agencies and administrative personnel, improved the entire operating mechanism of the airline, greatly reduced operating costs, optimized all routes, and proposed

The concept of "12 is greater than 3" allows airlines to reduce fares to an astonishing level.

One of the important requirements that Yao Yuan made to New Beihang at that time was to launch low-cost air tickets. If there is no way to reduce costs from the management level, low-cost air tickets will lose the meaning of existence. As far as the current situation is concerned, every time a low-cost air ticket is sold, New Beihang will

I have lost about 300 yuan, and I am currently maintaining the implementation of this strategy at a loss.

When it was still difficult to find a suitable candidate to replace Lin Wei as the head of the new Beihang Airlines, Yao Yuan naturally thought of the great master Chen Hai.

After arranging these things, Gao Jian and Yu Yongan went to live in a big villa. Lin Wei also wanted to live here. He also bought a villa worth 10 to 10 million Hong Kong dollars, but he never went there.

However, whenever I go to Hong Kong, I always stay in Yao Yuan's big villa.

It may be related to the environment in which he grew up, or it may be because of his mentality. Yao Yuan himself and most people around him do not have high requirements for the quality of life, at least not in direct proportion to their net worth.

In Yu Yongan’s words, he just doesn’t understand life.

These important figures in the headquarters group are like this, and the senior executives below them basically follow the same pattern, the most obvious one is Xiao Jiabing.

He is the third person in Dongfeng Group, second only to Lin Wei in status. Although his personal assets are not as good as Yu Yongan's, his annual salary plus dividends is over 100 million. But as for him, his wife and children still live in Hong Kong.

His family's housing conditions improved after Yu Yong'an gave him a 300-square-meter viewing unit in the name of a gift from Yong'an Group.

What did Xiao Jiabing do with his money?

Most of it was donated to the Spring Breeze Fund, and he is the largest individual donor after Yao Yuan.

The Spring Breeze Fund has not been established for a long time, but last year it began to donate and build primary schools in poor areas across the country, and launched student nutrition improvement programs, spending a lot of money. One of the important reasons is that the donations are growing.

, it’s very stressful not to spend it as soon as possible.

Under this situation, the villa Yao Yuan bought was regarded as his personal fixed asset to a large extent. He did not live here as long as he lived in a small foreign-style house in the countryside.

While drinking tea and digesting food, Lin Wei said, "Ayuan, I want to sell the villa in Hong Kong while the current housing prices are still good. If the property market bubble bursts next year, I will suffer a huge loss."

Yao Yuan said, "Are you short of money?"

"There is no shortage. There is still more than 300 million US dollars in the account. A few days ago, someone from the bank came to me and hoped that I could deposit it regularly for five years. I agreed." Lin Wei said.

Yao Yuan nodded slightly, "The country is short of foreign exchange."

Of course, people from provincial and municipal branches were not looking for Lin Wei. It was definitely the leaders of the Central Government who were looking for him directly. That was more than 300 million U.S. dollars that belonged to individuals. The dividends Lin Wei received were different from others. He received U.S. dollars.

"If you're not short of money, why would you sell it? Keep it. There's still a lot of room for appreciation in the future. Besides, you can't live here all the time!" Yao Yuan scolded.

Lin Xiaohu suddenly smiled and said, "Awei, if you don't want it anymore, sell it to me."

"Xiaohu, what are you doing here?" Lin Wei asked in surprise.

Yao Yuan also felt strange and asked, "Xiaohu, what's going on?"

Xiao Yun said garrulously, "Brother Hu's sister has graduated from the third grade of junior high school. Last time, Brother Yuan said that Hong Kong's educational resources are better, so Brother Hu wanted to send his sister to school in Hong Kong."

Lin Xiaohu nodded and admitted.

If you want to study in Hong Kong, you need a right of abode. The simplest way is to buy a property. If you buy a villa worth tens of millions, it is very easy to apply for a right of abode.

Yao Yuan was stunned for a moment, then came to his senses and said, "It's the third year of junior high school. Time flies so fast. Xiaohu, I said Hong Kong's educational resources are good in a relative sense. It's just educational resources. But after all, Hong Kong has been colonized for nearly a hundred years.

Their education is very different from ours, and it is easy to educate people who are renounced."

"A person who doesn't love the Party or the country?" Lin Xiaohu suddenly became solemn.

Yao Yuan said, "I personally don't agree with sending children to study in Hong Kong. Xiaohu, buy a house in Guangdong City. Send your sister to Guangdong City and ask how to settle down."

"Okay." Lin Xiaohu nodded without hesitation.

Apart from anything else, just because Yao Yuan is the top scorer in the college entrance examination in the county, you have to believe his words 100% and don't need to think so much.

"Awei, don't touch your little villa. Keep it. The financial crisis next year is just a hurdle in Hong Kong's economic development. After this hurdle, Hong Kong will have at least ten more golden years, and there will be a lot of room for housing prices to rise.

It's here." Yao Yuan said.

Lin Wei nodded and said, "Okay, then we won't sell it. By the way, Liu Meixiang has done well recently. He wants to conduct a second round of financing. Who is the lead investor... Ryder Capital, what do you think?"

He is the major shareholder of Hong Kong Meixiang, and you must obtain his permission to raise funds.

Yao Yuan was stunned again and said with a smile, "This Liu Meixiang turned out to be from a state-owned enterprise research institute, and he got the Chinese patent at a very low price. I always felt that he would sell his butt to Americans, and now it seems that I guessed it right."

Already."

Lin Wei knew that Yao Yuan did not like Liu Meixiang and had deep prejudices, but Yao Yuan supported Lin Wei's investment in Hong Kong Meixiang and wanted to become the largest shareholder.

Lin Wei spread his hands and said, "Yes, so I asked for your opinion."

"There's nothing to say. Of course I refuse. He wants to raise funds, right? You tell him that he can ask for money, but he can only ask for it from you. It's not like you don't have money." Yao Yuan said without hesitation.

You can have the beautiful dream of Hong Kong in this life, but you can no longer have the beautiful dream of Hong Kong that Liu Mei wants.

Yao Yuan felt disgusted and angry that he was actually making money for foreigners under the guise of a national enterprise.

When signing the contract, Yao Yuan asked Lin Wei to add a special priority, which was to cut off the way Liu Mei wanted to introduce foreign capital. If he wanted to raise funds, he must first ask Lin Wei. If Lin Wei had no money or was unwilling to continue investing,

Only then can he find another home.

"Okay, let's do it." Lin Wei said.

Yao Yuan asked curiously, "How is Meixiang Company doing now?"

Lin Wei said, "Liu Meixiang is still very capable. Hong Kong Meixiang has done very well. Meixiang Huaxia, which was established less than a year ago, has developed rapidly and has a turnover of over 100 million."

"Well, this person is still capable, but it's a pity that his butt is crooked. The more capable he is, the more harmful he is. You have to keep a close eye on him and don't let him betray him." Yao Yuan reminded.

Lin Wei said, "Don't worry, there is an accounting firm keeping an eye on the accounts."

The next day, Changchun Holdings and Huaxia United Bank signed a loan agreement. Changchun Holdings borrowed HK$5.5 billion from Huaxia United Bank for a period of one year, with an interest of HK$800 million, and the principal and interest will be repaid upon maturity, totaling HK$6.3 billion, which is specifically stated

After maturity, Cheung Kong Holdings can obtain a bridge fund of HK$6.3 billion from Hua Xia United Bank to repay the loan to the end, and then re-sign a one-year loan contract of HK$5.5 billion.

To put it bluntly, the money is provided by Hua Xia United Bank, which is equivalent to a promise made by Hua Xia United Bank to Cheung Kong Holdings - you can use it with confidence, and I will renew it for you.

In fact, Cheung Kong Holdings' commitment to bridge funds is a commitment from Hua Xia United Bank. If Cheung Kong Holdings can repay the repayment, it will repay it. If it cannot repay it, it will continue to pay this very favorable interest year after year.

Renew loan.

Just for the sake of formalities, you need a sum of money to cross the bridge.

This loan caused a sensation in the Hong Kong business community. First of all, everyone was surprised by the financial strength of Hua Xia United Bank. Secondly, the cooperation between the two was of great significance, marking that there was another big bank behind Cheung Kong Holdings. On the contrary, Niu had previously

The forced Yongan Group became the real loser.

One family is happy and the other is sad. In the 10,000-acre land project in Central, Changshui Holdings is undoubtedly the biggest winner, and other companies are losers.
