Rebirth of the Age of Wealth

Chapter 645 Why don’t you try flying?

Li Weidong exchanged a few words with Director Liu, said a few polite words, and made an appointment to have dinner together in the future before hanging up the phone.

The two airports Director Liu mentioned are one of the projects invested by Xinsheng Holdings in the western region this year, and are also one of the top ten projects invested by the country in the western region.

In fact, the projects of these two airports have been in the works for a long time. They had received approval at the end of last year and even held a grand foundation laying ceremony.

Although the ceremony was grand, the billions of investment dollars reported by the media were not yet available, and the groundbreaking ceremony was stopped after the ceremony.

The main reason is naturally that we don’t have money, or we have been waiting for matching funds from above. Now is the time when things are going fast across the country, so it is natural to establish projects first and then think about other things.

The province has no money, and the bank loans are under great pressure. Naturally, they have to ask for money from above. Although the ministries and commissions have money, they need more money. It is not easy to expect them to provide money.

At this time, Director Zeng of the Planning Commission suggested that some high-quality private enterprises should be appropriately attracted to participate in joint construction.

After all, the higher authorities have also stated that in developing the western region, there will be no restrictions on the nature of capital, and private capital and even foreign capital must be fully utilized.

The people below naturally knew the elegant meaning of Xiange, and climbing along the pole was naturally a basic skill. They immediately asked Director Zeng to secure the matchmaking.

When Li Weidong heard about this good thing, he naturally had no hesitation. Investing in long-term operations such as the airport, although the speed of making money is not as fast as the capital market, is still a good allocation.

Furthermore, when it comes to airport construction, he probably has the right opportunity. He is in the pioneering period, and it is unlikely that he will participate in this monopoly industry in the future.

And it is impossible for him to invest all his money in the financial and high-tech industries. These businesses with long-term cash flow are the foundation for the company's long-term unbeaten success.

Finance can make money quickly, but the risk of something going wrong is also high, and a fortune can evaporate out of thin air. But as long as the airport exists, it will not disappear.

In this way, Xinsheng Holdings soon became a shareholder of these two airports, and Li Weidong even proposed to expand the size of the airport, otherwise it would have to be expanded in a few years.

The western region is different from the eastern coast. The territory here is vast and the urban density is low. Even in the future high-speed rail era, the airports here will still be very active.

In fact, before the high-speed rail came out, the construction of domestic airports has been non-stop. After the first phase was completed, the second phase was built, and after the second phase was completed, it was expanded. In short, construction continued without stopping.

If you were still in the state-owned assets department, Li Weidong wouldn't be able to control people who were involved in projects just to spend money, but now that he is also a shareholder, he naturally has to make some noise.

Now you can get it right in one step, and then you can sit back and wait to receive the money. There is a cash cow, and the money will come in every day.

Li Weidong looked up at the photo of Chen Jun staring at the plane and asked, "What are you thinking about, so happy?"

"Ah?" Chen Jun was probably too immersed in the fun and didn't pay attention to Li Weidong, so the reflex arc was a little long. He was a little confused at first, and then realized it.

Chen Jun looked a little embarrassed and said quickly: "I didn't think about anything, I didn't think about anything!"

Chen Jun couldn't say that he was staring at the photo of the plane just now, thinking that although he was a little secretary, he would still have the opportunity to fly on a special plane in the future. Secretary like him was probably not seen very often in China.

"If it's nothing, just go and get me a cup of tea!" Li Weidong said angrily, why are you so happy when I buy a plane?

But he thought about it again, and something seemed wrong. Although he bought a plane, he couldn't fly it himself, and he couldn't appreciate the fun of flying a plane. Was the plane bought for him or for the pilot?

As for his own car, Li Weidong rarely drives it. As for the so-called handling performance, power performance, and acceleration of 100 kilometers, what is the use?

How can you experience these things if you don’t drive? If you don’t understand these things, why are you so demanding when buying a car?

Li Weidong was sitting on his desk, with Minesweeper open on his computer, and he played again. This game was really addictive. He had to prove that he could play it, and he had to prove that he was proficient in addition and subtraction within six!

Chen Jun saw that there was still less than half a cup of tea in Li Weidong's tea cup. He knew that he had neglected his duty, so he quickly got to work. After thinking about it, he changed the tea leaves and got a new cup of tea.

"Chairman, your tea!" Chen Jun put the tea cup on Li Weidong's table, gestured, and then said, "If you don't have any instructions, I will go out?"

Li Weidong nodded without raising his head, and suddenly asked: "Oh, by the way, Xiao Chen, where are you going on vacation?"

"Ah, a holiday?" Chen Jun was a little confused. Wherever his boss went, he would naturally go there. To be honest, he had never thought about a holiday at all.

Being the boss's secretary is not a noble thing. He can be in this position not because he is smart, but because he can always take the boss's needs as his needs.

To put it in an extreme way, as long as the boss is alive, his secretary will have no time to get off work.

"It's the 20th today? It's the National Day holiday soon. Why don't you go back to see your parents and father-in-law?" Li Weidong said nonchalantly.

Li Weidong remembered that Chen Jun's family was in the west, and one of the airports Bureau Liu mentioned just now was built in their city, so when he mentioned the airport, he remembered it when he saw Chen Jun again.

It's so far away, so it's time to go back and have a look during the holidays. I go back once or twice a year, but I can go back as many times as possible.

"Chairman, you..." Chen Jun stuttered, his face turned pale, and there was sweat on his forehead.

What did the boss mean by saying this? It couldn't be because he was just having fun and forgot to pour him tea, which made the boss angry and wanted to fire him!

"Why are you sweating on your head? It's not hot at all!" Li Weidong didn't hear what Chen Jun said. He moved his eyes from the computer desktop to Chen Jun's face and asked in confusion.

Li Weidong continued to return to the computer and joked: "Have you been too exhausted recently? A young couple without children needs to be more restrained. Autumn is a good time to take supplements. Buy more beef and mutton to take supplements. Don't shed tears when you are old!"

"No, no, not hot!" After listening to Li Weidong's words, Chen Jun felt that he had thought too much.

He had only worked as Li Weidong's secretary for half a year, and he was in his prime. It was time to perform well. Wouldn't it be such a tragedy if he was fired?

Although with Li Weidong's character and temper, even if he is an unsatisfied secretary after working for so long, he will definitely be assigned a similar position, but the height of his career is determined. Who would dare to use someone who the chairman despises?

"On the National Day holiday, go back and see your parents if you have nothing to do. If you don't have children now, it will be inconvenient to go back if you have children in two years. Don't always think about living your own little life. Go home often!

"Li Weidong continued.

"You usually have to work with me and don't have time to go back. Now it's a long vacation. I also plan to go on vacation. After a few days of peace and quiet, you can also take a long vacation!"

When Chen Jun heard this, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief and relaxed completely. It seemed that he had really thought too much just now and was scared to death. He still needs to exercise his endurance.

Otherwise, with his current level, how can he reach a leadership position? Not to mention the position of his predecessor Zhang Dongshuo, even department director may not be qualified for it.

When he met Zhang Dongshuo a few days ago, he was originally high-spirited when he took office, but now his face was full of exhaustion. Instead, he was full of memories and envy for his job.

Chen Jun thought he was no match for Zhang Dongshuo, but even Zhang Dongshuo's ability, qualifications and background were exhausted for the position of business unit general manager, let alone him.

Chen Jun later analyzed that Zhang Dongshuo's condition may be secretary syndrome. When he worked as a secretary to his boss, even several vice presidents were polite to him.

Not to mention the general managers of those second-tier companies, who naturally treat him with great respect. Now that their positions have changed and they no longer have the tiger skin of the chairman, their treatment of you will naturally return to normal.

Especially in the financial division managed by Zhang Dongshuo, none of the chairman and CEOs of several secondary companies in it are famous, not to mention domestically, but also in the entire East Asia and Southeast Asia.

If Li Weidong gave them orders, they would have nothing to say. If it were anyone else, even people like Zou Yi and Zheng Sijing, they might not be able to do it without reasonable reasons.

If Zhang Dongshuo wants to use his brain and energy and rely on his so-called authority to convince these people, it is most likely impossible. Of course, he will not fall out. After all, he has to worry about Li Weidong's face.

But this is Zhang Dongshuo's own path. If he can't continue on this path, he will be eliminated and there won't be many opportunities to get up again.

Therefore, Zhang Dongshuo has been exhausted recently, trying to establish authority through various methods. In fact, this is also an invisible war, and the loser can only withdraw.

After Chen Jun analyzed these situations, he worried about Zhang Dongshuo many times. After all, he and Zhang Dongshuo were on the same front. If he failed to move forward, he would most likely be finished.

Chen Jun quickly shook his head. What are you thinking about now? Serving Boss Li well is the most important thing. He quickly said: "Chairman, you are too busy. There will definitely be a lot of things during your vacation. I can still do something with you!"

Li Weidong shook his head and said: "No, we have to learn from foreign countries on this. A vacation is a vacation. Don't worry about things that are not the sky is falling. If you have to deal with messy things after a vacation, what kind of vacation is it?"

"As long as the authorization is done well, any one of us can take a vacation. It's not like anyone can leave this company. Sometimes you shouldn't regard yourself as an indispensable person. Don't feel that if you are gone, the department will be disbanded and the company will be broken up."

It’s going to collapse!”

"So take a good vacation when it's time to take a vacation. You must trust your colleagues to do a good job. Work hard when it's time to work. Don't always shirk the blame and ask for instructions and reports. If you are unwilling to take responsibility, you will not be able to do a good job!"

Li Weidong still didn't raise his head, clicking on the computer, having a great time, and kept talking, which made Chen Jun next to him sweat on his forehead again.

Are these words from the boss referring to vacation, or are they trying to beat someone up by taking vacation? If word spread, I don’t know how many people would be unable to sleep!

Chen Jun wondered again, did the boss say it casually, or did he want to tell a leader through his mouth?

This is definitely a big problem. He needs to think about it carefully. As a secretary, you have to understand what your boss is saying, otherwise you will definitely not be a good secretary.

After a while, Li Weidong glanced at Chen Jun and saw that Chen Jun was still standing, so he said: "Okay, stop standing, go book tickets quickly, and say hello to the old man and the old lady for me!"

"Thank you, chairman, thank you, chairman!" Chen Jun said excitedly, even his accent had a Shaanxi flavor. What an honor it must be for the boss to say hello to his parents.

Li Weidong's private plane arrived at Qizhou Airport earlier than he expected. On the third day after he had a phone call with the aviation management department, Chen Jun told him that the plane could take off from Hong Kong Island and arrive in Qizhou tomorrow.

State airport.

Although the plane was said to be Li Weidong's private plane, it was actually purchased in the name of his company, and the plane had the company name and logo printed on it.

So on the day when the plane arrived at Qizhou Airport, the company held a small welcome ceremony and took photos in front of the plane, especially the brightly colored company logo, which fell in the middle of the photo.

In addition to people from the company, Li Weidong's family came to see Qiqi, and even Gao Anbang, who had limited mobility, came in a wheelchair.

Although the aircraft belongs to the company, the ultimate controller of the company is still Li Weidong. Even if the company allocates him an aircraft, it is nothing.

Several children sat here and there on the plane, touching here and there and looking at it. It was very strange. Although they usually fly on planes, it is not so spacious.

Even Li Chengwen was very happy. He sat on a seat and tried it. A flight attendant immediately came over to help him adjust the seat and tell him how to use it.

The plane is equipped with two experienced pilots and two professionally trained flight attendants.

These are provided by the aircraft management company. When there is no mission, the aircraft returns to the base and is on standby, and the flight attendants will go to other aircraft to serve.

Of course, even if they fly every day, these flight attendants will not remain the same. After all, the owner of the plane may get tired of seeing the same face every day and have to change their appearance.

"Well, not bad, it's just like first class. You can also lie down. This is not bad!" Li Chengwen said comfortably, and then said with some doubts and fear: "I wonder what will happen when it flies. Isn't it unstable for such a small child?

?”

At this time, the pilot of the plane, a middle-aged man in his forties, smiled and explained: "Mr. Li, don't worry, although the business jet has a smaller fuselage, its flight stability is better and its cruising altitude is higher."

, it will not be affected by the airflow of civil aviation aircraft, and will be more stable, with basically no turbulence!”

"Furthermore, due to the location of the engine and the sound insulation design, the noise is much lower than that of civil aviation aircraft, and the comfort will be very good. It will be a good experience whether you are working or resting!"

Li Chengwen sat up and nodded, but he still didn't believe what he said, so he said doubtfully: "It's really so good, why don't you try flying?"
