On the top of the lofty mountains behind Mi Zhi, Zhu Xuefeng was looking at Uncle Yang and his party not far away. Today is the day for Yanzi's breakthrough. As expected, after Senior Brother Zi Bai, the autonomous region will have one more innate master.
This is all thanks to the mysterious Shennongjia, where I was lucky enough to find the thousand-year-old spiritual milk. According to Master Yang, it only takes a hundred years for a drop of this stuff to be produced. Finding more than a dozen drops at a time is considered extremely lucky. Zhu Xuefeng's luck is indeed good.
In the past few years, Golden Island has been completely peaceful, and the 470,000 square kilometers of Golden Island has become two independent areas.
The autonomous region joined the regional alliance that was postponed for a year the year before last. It has many allies and received immediate recognition from many countries on the peninsula.
After several years of hard work, with the participation of several parties, the reclamation of several small islands thousands of nautical miles apart in the huge sea area in the northern Strait of Malacca has been completed. The islands' airports, hospitals, power plants, Schools, residential areas, factories and other related facilities are being completed intensively. This can be regarded as a reward for the autonomous region's assistance in the construction of home projects.
The process was not smooth. The project was only halfway through when the menacing Bald Eagle twin aircraft carrier fleet rushed to this sea area. As a result, it took nearly a month. After completing the trip, the sounds directed at this sea area mysteriously disappeared. .
For no other reason, the Bald Eagle aircraft carrier formation encountered the same confusion as the Coconut City Navy in this area. What was even more uncomfortable was that after discovering a mysterious three-carrier formation appearing dozens of nautical miles away, All boat-based aircraft prepared for emergency takeoff failed to take off.
Not only that, the ships in the entire fleet have also lost their power and ability to communicate with the outside world, not to mention their combat capabilities. At the same time, the early warning aircraft hovering outside and several boat-based aircraft escorting the fleet also seem to be fighting. The pendulum fell into the sea inexplicably. Finally, with the selfless help of the mysterious Dongda, it was able to get in touch with the rear. Under the "drag" of Dongda, it took more than a month to reach the outer sea of Fuso.
When three aircraft carrier formations dragged two aircraft carrier formations to the sea off Fuso, the eyes of the world were looking to the east, but the bald eagle and the big hair seemed to have kept silent in a tacit understanding. All was quiet.
Soon, Zhu Xuefeng was also recalled, and unexpectedly received his first overseas mission in several years. He went to Wanwan. This mission was not dangerous, nothing more, he was just a companion. I read a letter from an old man, and he knew that there was only one poem in the letter.
Soon, a very unexpected news shocked the world. The Bald Eagle's so-called unsinkable aircraft carrier was gone. The children who had been wandering for decades returned home to find their mothers. Jinling had a very low-key department with a high level of confidentiality. , there is often a thin old man standing on the top of the mountain with his hands behind his back, looking down at this homeland, but this is not known to outsiders.
The strait has naturally become an inland sea. I don’t know how many things were broken in the presidential palace on the other side of the ocean, but the storm that everyone predicted did not come. The old man was right, all imperialism is a paper tiger.
The world has changed a lot in the past few years. The disputes on the peninsula that were supposed to be interrupted have not been interrupted in the past few years. Xiao Yi has suffered a lot of losses inexplicably and has become more peaceful. But the world The price of crude oil, like the price of gold, was soaring. Zhu Xuefeng knew that everything had changed.
While Xiangjiang’s funds are making a lot of money, the current oil refining industry in the autonomous region has also seized this opportunity and developed rapidly. It has now become the third largest crude oil processing center in the world, in refined oil and derivatives. It occupies a considerable share of the products and has become the strongest economic driving force in the autonomous region.
While Zhu Xuefeng was contemplating the harvest of the past few years, the excited whistling of swallows was heard not far away. No need to guess, the swallows have experienced several years of hardships and finally took this crucial step. Zhu Xuefeng compiled He took off his shirt and walked over quickly and energetically.
"Senior brother, I've made it, I've really made it."
The excited Yanzi was a little incoherent. He didn't expect that he would have this day. All of this was thanks to the blessing of senior brother. Without the help of the three drops of thousand-year-old spiritual milk , I will never be able to touch this hurdle in my life.
"After all the hard work, congratulations to you, Yanzi! Tsk tsk, such a happy event, why are you crying."
"Aren't you happy about this? Brother, I can go to Fusang now. Let's go."
Looking at Yanzi with tears in his eyes, but looking happy, and then looking at Qiuhong with a look of surprise on his side, the two of them have performed missions together many times, and they are getting closer and closer. close.
"Okay, stabilize your realm a little more, then you two can lead the team."
The Yagawa sisters have developed rapidly in the past few years, and their reputation in Fuso has become more and more popular. It is inevitable that they will be recruited by the Black Dragon Society again. After being targeted, the two sisters have sent a message asking for help, saying that they have discovered the culprit Minano Sakurako, the woman who almost killed the two sisters at the hands of Zhu Xuefeng.
The Black Dragon Society is a behemoth, with many mysterious masters. According to the intelligence of the two sisters, there are those who far surpass jounin. According to Zhu Xuefeng's judgment, if they far surpass jounin, then they can only be innate masters. .
Since the other party has an innate master, Zhu Xuefeng now has a special status and has received strict orders from several parties. He has not carried out dangerous missions for several years. Besides, before Yanzi breaks through, he will definitely be in trouble, even with Qiu Hong. Escorts are not safe. Now that she has successfully broken through, the two innates are here together. I believe that even if she encounters trouble, she should have no problem escaping.
“Well, fourth sister, it’s okay now, senior brother agreed.”
There is no direct flight between the autonomous region and Fusang. A few days later, a plane flew to Xiangjiang and saw off the team led by the two. After finally returning, Zhu Xuefeng planned to accompany his wife and children, and he would fly directly to the capital in a few days. But someone came to the door and could only delay it for a few more days.
Nothing else, the real estate in Xiangjiang has bottomed out, and the two major foreign banks can’t wait to get a share of the pie. However, in the past few years, a large amount of funds were exchanged for shares of China Eastern Airlines. It is a pity. After taking over the management of China Eastern Airlines, world oil prices have skyrocketed. In addition to making a profit in the first year, it has already suffered losses in the following years. Now that oil prices continue to rise, there is absolutely nothing that can be done to turn losses into profits.
All major airlines in the world are facing huge pressure to survive. Nearly 30% of international airlines have declared bankruptcy and reorganization. China Eastern Airlines can still barely support it, but it is conceivable that without major adjustments, It is impossible to turn losses into profits.
Competitor Cathay Pacific Airways is in an even more difficult situation. After acquiring the airline in Haojingao, it has also caught up with the continued rise in oil prices. It rained all night, and it was a rainy day, affected by cross-cutting winds. , an L1049 slid directly into the bay from the narrow runway when landing. Although all personnel were successfully rescued, Cathay Pacific's reputation was greatly affected.
Cathay Pacific couldn't survive anymore and took the initiative to seek acquisition from China Eastern Airlines. However, China Eastern Airlines had too much to take care of itself and had no financial resources to acquire Cathay Pacific. Cathay Pacific's situation once again alerted the two foreign companies. It seems that they are in an unfamiliar industry. Big investment mistake.
After various considerations, the two foreign banks once again set their sights on Dongsheng Company. Only Dongsheng Company has the ability to take over. It would be great if they can pay it back. If they don't let go, they will only end up being boiled frogs in warm water. The losses will slowly expand, step by step. Drag two families to death on the airline.
I learned from the airport that Boss Zhu had returned to Xiangjiang, so he naturally came to visit me. Zhu Xuefeng looked at several directors of foreign companies and was speechless. He couldn't hold it in so quickly, and he was not prepared. , the engine is still being tested in Shanghai. It is not clear whether it can be successful. This time I took a detour to visit this test. The two parties talked for a long time at the villa in Repulse Bay. It was getting dark. They agreed to talk next time, and then the directors left with complicated moods.
"Sir, are you letting go? Now the airline is still losing money. The risk of landing at the old airport has made many passengers give up taking off from Xiangjiang. We will also lose money if we take over. ." Wu Qianqian was a little confused. This was a planned way. Unexpectedly, the first time the other party came to the door, the master became loose and agreed to continue the conversation.
"That's right, Xiaofeng, according to me, as long as the two of them are shackled, they can only watch the real estate money without making any money, and their influence will become weaker and weaker. "Xia Yuhong put aside teaching her daughter and expressed her own opinion.
"You are both right. Now is indeed not the best time. It would be more appropriate to delay it for a few more years. But now Hong Kong's economy is recovering. This is an important external boost for airlines to quickly turn losses into profits. This momentum is not Hold on tight, wait for the outside airlines to complete their restructuring and adjustment before entering the Hong Kong market, I They are even more passive. Instead of letting outsiders get involved, it is better to leave a way for them to survive. At least in Europe, we still need them now. Also, for this small loss, even if there are no more advanced engines now, I think I also have a way to overcome it."
Looking at the doubts on their faces, Zhu Xuefeng explained with a smile, “Another reason for the high cost of airlines now is market positioning. In recent years, we have been targeting high-end customers, but the number of high-end customers is too small. In order to win their favor, we have been adopting high-end services. , I wish I could put a Michelin restaurant on a passenger plane. This is not possible in the first place. It is advisable to use these luxurious services to show their status. This has resulted in high ticket prices and continued decline in attendance. It would be strange not to lose money."
Zhu Xuefeng is ready to drastically change the airline's business before the engine technology matures. Operations management responds by downgrading services and increasing attendance.
“Don’t underestimate ordinary consumers, they are the most reliable users of airlines!”
Zhu Xuefeng put forward his own ideas and analyzed them one by one. After the two of them listened to the man’s words Thoughts, stars in the eyes, and nodding at the same time, the man is indeed a marketing genius, thinking more thoughtfully, involving higher levels, and considering more comprehensively.
"Master, you really have to take charge of important matters. We couldn't have imagined these things." Wu Qianqian sincerely admired her man.
Zhu Xuefeng smiled and touched the little guy who ran over to seek his father's love. He picked him up and put him on his lap. "These are not difficult. The important thing is to find your own position. You just need to set your sights." If you move away from these rich people, you can see greater business opportunities. The reason why large supermarket chains in North America and Europe can expand rapidly and make hundreds of millions of profits every year is not to focus on ordinary consumers. Isn’t it the same for banks?”
“What the master said is that our vision is too limited. Now I know what to do.”
6◇9◇书◇
Wu Qianqian felt a little ashamed and looked at Xia Yuhong. The two of them had focused their main energy on the futures and gold markets in the past few years. They dealt with both the rich and the expensive, and indeed rarely considered ordinary consumers.
"Don't tell me, your brain is so good. Qianqian, I have an idea. Let's discuss it later." Xia Yuhong was also inspired. It seems that the issuance of funds can also learn from this idea. Even if it is not possible, it will be fruitful.
“If you have any ideas, let’s talk about it together.”
“No, Qianqian and I will discuss it first, and then I’ll talk to you. My daughter, I’ll go with your aunt. Get busy with something. Go to your dad's place. Your dad will finally come back. He has forgotten you."
The little girl looked at her father, whom she had not seen for two months, and leaned over, biting her little hand, "Dad, you won't forget me, will you?"
Zhu Xuefeng also smiled and picked him up, placing him on his other thigh.
"Good girl, of course I won't forget you. You are my dad's caring little cotton-padded jacket. Even if I forget you, my mother will never forget you. Come, play with your brother."
"Virtue!" Xia Yuhong smiled and cursed, seeing her daughter After playing with her brother, she happily pulled Wu Qianqian upstairs.
"Watch the time, I have to go to the banquet later, don't be late."
"I know, Sister Ezi called me just now." Xia Yuhong said with a smile , the two went upstairs to discuss.
The Lou family is living well now. Mr. Lou has made a successful investment in the autonomous region, and has brought many friends to the autonomous region. With the care of Lao Yang, he has prospered. Silly Zhu found someone to repair him the year before last. They picked up several brothers from the Guo family and sent them away. The old lady had sneaked over. With the support of the Lou family, she opened a restaurant with Tan's cuisine in Xiangjiang. With the economic recovery in Xiangjiang, the business was very good. With the help of the Zhu family, there were two more people. This famous dish is the only one in Xiangjiang.
In fact, the dishes are very simple, but the ingredients are not available elsewhere, so they are rare and expensive. These two dishes have gradually become must-have dishes for businessmen's banquets and wealthy family's birthdays in Xiangjiang, but they have to be reserved in advance.
"Brother Zhuzhu, your craftsmanship is getting better and better. The color and fragrance are all here, and the taste is probably the same."
At the Lou family's family banquet, the four members of the Lou family were having fun. The Zhu family sat around a table, but the three children gathered at a small table below and started to move happily. At the big table here, Silly Zhu was greeting everyone attentively and filling wine for everyone one by one.
"Brother, give it a try later. Speaking of which, you taught me this method. Now I have improved it. I don’t know if it suits your taste, but the guests here in Xiangjiang have eaten it. Say yes." Shazhu chuckled and looked at the few expectantly.
"Okay, okay. I said it was Boss Zhu who taught you, but you still have to play the zither. This guy in our family just can't control his mouth. Please forgive me, the two sisters." Lou Xiao'e stopped Silly Zhu, the old couple of the Lou family saw their daughter and son-in-law chatting happily with Boss Zhu's family, they were very familiar with each other, and they also pursed their lips and smiled.
There are actually two more fish dishes on the table, one grilled rainbow trout and one fried fillet fish. They are not complicated, but the aroma is so fragrant that people can't help but use their chopsticks.
"Master Lou, Mrs. Lou, let's start..."
