Following.

For a whole morning, Bian Xuedao was full of thoughts.

In the car, in the office, in the conference room, the strange cloud in last night's dream kept shaking in front of his eyes, provoking him to slip away all the time.

Intuition told Bian Xuedao that this dream had a meaning.

In particular, the shape of the "eye" feels familiar when I think about it now.

2:20 p.m.

Hong Chengfu and Fu Caining came to Bian Xuedao's office to report on the discount offered by Gulfstream.

After Fu Caining's introduction, Bian Xuedao thought for a while and said, "Continue to talk to them and strive to press down another 5 points." ”

Glancing at Hong Chengfu, Fu Caining said: "I'm afraid this is not easy, the price given by the other party is already a rare low." ”

"Try it!" Bian Xuedao said with a smile: "Open your mouth with three points of interest, and if you don't give it, it's enough." Besides, the economic environment is so bad that no one is willing to spend a lot of money to buy a private jet. They held the plane in their hands for several years, and the interest on the funds was also a large amount. ”

Listening to Bian Xuedao talk about funds, Hong Chengfu opened the notebook in his hand and said: "I roughly calculated, a G550 and a G450, according to the discounts, various discounts and exchange rates given by Gulfstream in the morning, the total price of the two planes is 525 million yuan. According to the current capital situation of the group, we need to raise 320 million yuan to ensure the safety of the group's capital flow. ”

"Financing 320 million ......" Bian Xuedao touched the armrest of the boss's chair and said: "Aren't several banks with cooperative relationships chasing after their butts every day and hoping that we will take out loans? ”

Closing the notebook, Hong Chengfu said: "The noses of those people in the bank are really smart, yesterday afternoon, the presidents of the head offices of the three banks called Mr. Wu, Mr. Shen, Mr. Ding and me, saying that they wanted to invite us to dinner. ”

Bian Xuedao asked a little surprised: "This is targeting?"

Hong Chengfu nodded and said, "Yes, I don't know where the news came out, several banks have already set their sights on this business." President Sun, who is most familiar with me, said bluntly that he hopes that we will consider their bank when buying an aircraft for financing, and he will give the most favorable loan terms to ensure that we are satisfied. ”

"Oh, promise to satisfy us?" Turning the chair slightly, his eyes casually swept to the desk calendar on the desk, and he suddenly understood why President Sun said this.

It's mid-September.

In another month and a half, the central government's 4-trillion-100 million bailout plan will be introduced, and the Chunjiang plumbing duck prophet, a rare large-scale "opening the floodgates" in history, has given the bank confidence.

Thinking about this, Bian Xuedao said: "In the past two months, affected by exports, the domestic economic data has declined sharply, and it is estimated that a rescue plan will be introduced soon, and a large amount of money will flow into the bank. So, don't see the rabbit and don't scatter the eagle, and wait until they show enough sincerity before talking in detail. ”

"Good. Hong Chengfu said in a deep voice.

Hong Chengfu is a professional in playing finance, and when he participated in the salon in the circle, he also heard some rumors about the central bailout, but everyone said very conservatively, none of them were as sure as what Bian Xuedao said just now, and he had the heart to ask about the judgment basis of Bian Xuedao, but he felt that the occasion was not quite right.

Behind the desk, staring at the notebook in Hong Chengfu's hand for a few seconds, Bian Xuedao thought to himself: I should go to the "secret hut" to rummage through the diary that recorded things, or simply transfer the diary to Jinhe Tianyi. I haven't seen it for too long, and I almost forgot about the four-trillion-billion-dollar rescue plan, as a businessman, I really shouldn't.

Seeing that Bian Xuedao didn't speak, Fu Caining opened his mouth and asked, "How to arrange the plane when it is bought?"

Bian Xuedao said: "The G550 is released abroad and is responsible for intercontinental long-distance flights. The G450 was put in the country and used as a group business jet. ”

Fu Caining said: "I'm not talking about this, I'm talking about who to choose as a hosting company." ”

"Hosting company?" Bian Xuedao was a little stunned.

Hong Chengfu has become accustomed to Bian Xuedao's performance that sometimes understands everything and sometimes does not understand anything, he explained: "To buy a private jet, you need to apply for three certificates, including the aircraft's nationality registration certificate, radio station license and airworthiness certificate. After buying the plane, theoretically the plane is your personal and Youdao Group's assets, but on the other hand, neither an individual nor a company can drive the plane into the sky at will like driving. Before each flight, it is necessary to declare the flight plan such as route, time, aircraft type, and take-off and landing airports to the air traffic control department. This matter is very troublesome, and there is a certain degree of professionalism, so the aircraft needs a big housekeeper, and the hosting company is this big housekeeper. ”

After taking a sip of water, Hong Chengfu continued: "After determining the hosting company, the hosting company will solve all the formalities, licenses, flight applications, regular inspections and other problems for the customer. In other words, when you need to use the plane, just call the hosting company and they will arrange everything without us having to worry about all these complicated things. Of course, there is a corresponding fee to be paid to the hosting company. ”

Bian Xuedao held his chin with his right hand and said, "It's okay, worry-free." You are fully responsible for this matter, and you would rather spend more money than find a company with good qualifications. ”

Hong Chengfu nodded and said, "I know." ”

At the end, Bian Xuedao suddenly asked: "How much does it cost to fly by private jet?"

Fu Caining and Hong Chengfu were stunned by the question at the same time, and said in their hearts: It's all at this time, boss, you still don't know how much it costs to raise an airplane?

After sorting out his thoughts, Fu Caining replied: "The cost of using private jets is mainly four yuan, the salaries of pilots, crew members, and maintenance engineers, which account for the largest proportion; followed by the custody fee; the third is the fuel cost; and finally the daily inspection and maintenance, regular inspection, overhaul, and the cost of purchasing aviation materials." ”

"I asked someone to inquire, and private jets are used differently and cost differently. Under normal circumstances, the annual cost of a small business jet is about 5 million to 7 million yuan, the annual cost of a medium-sized business jet is about 10 million to 15 million yuan, and the annual cost of a large business jet is about 18 million to 24 million yuan. According to the models of Gulfstream G550 and G450, basically, the cost of a domestic flight is between 500,000 and 800,000, and if an intercontinental flight is carried out, the cost will definitely be doubled. ”

Five minutes later, Hong Chengfu and Fu Caining finished reporting and went out.

Bian Xuedao was sitting alone in the office, and suddenly found that the idea of flying to the United States and Europe by private jet to meet Shan Rao, Dong Xue, and Shen Fu to fall in love was a bit whimsical.

Fly more than 1 million per trip, which is a bit expensive.

But what can be done?

Gather several women together to be neighbors?

Forget it, it's a headache just to think about it.

Half an hour later, the secretary knocked on the door and walked in, put two folders in front of Bian Xuedao, and said: "Mr. Bian, one of these two copies is the "Operation Report of Kaixin.com in the Second Quarter of 2008" sent by Huo Dongfeng of Yanjing Branch, and the other is the "Catalogue of Record Management of Proposed Cooperation Projects" sent by Zhiwei Video. ”

"Okay, leave it here, you go make me a cup of coffee. ”

"Yes, Mr. Bian. ”

When the secretary was making coffee, Bian Xuedao roughly finished reading the "Operation Report of Kaixin.com in the Second Quarter of 2008" sent by Huo Dongfeng.

The report has a lot of words, but in fact, the content is very simple - in recent months, Kaixin.com has successively launched the "friends buying" component and the "competing for parking space" component.

Friends buy and sell...... Compete for parking spaces......

Bian Xuedao clearly remembers that what really makes Kaixin.com popular is the "garden planting" component, and it is obvious that Cheng Hao has not yet developed this "phenomenal" component.

Looking at the "Report", a thought flashed through me: What if Cheng Hao did not develop the "garden garden" component this time? Do you want to remind Cheng Hao? Otherwise, wouldn't the investment be in vain?

That's when ......

In an instant, as if he had been enlightened, he learned the Tao and opened his mind.

The three words "playing in the water" suddenly made him understand why the "eye" in his dream last night made him feel like a man.

He's a man with secrets, he's a "cheater".

He relied on the prophet, he always succeeded, he always succeeded, he always succeeded, he never made a mistake, he never made a mistake, he never failed, this is not normal.

It is precisely because of this that it has attracted the attention and investigation of the outside world, and the eye in the dream is suggesting that someone is peeping in the dark.

That's right, it must be!

Thinking that he had solved the mystery of the dream scene, he suddenly became more relaxed while learning the Tao.

In fact, he had thought about this question before, but he neglected it later.

Right now......

If you want to break this situation, it's actually very easy to do, just lose money.

As long as you "look away" on one or two projects, make mistakes in decision-making, fail in investment, lose some money, and lose the halo of "winning generals", it will naturally make some people breathe a sigh of relief.

Project......

Where can I find a suitable project to lose money?

First of all, the big pieces of variety show WeChat games need morale and can't be used to lose.

Secondly, the project you are looking for cannot lose too much or too little, because if the loss is too small, it will be difficult to produce a topic effect.

Third, the project used to lose money should be the kind of project that is open to the society. For example, the projects developed by Zhiwei Technology cannot be disclosed due to confidentiality, and the second is that even if this kind of project is made public, not many people will pay attention to it.

There is also a way to lose money, where is there a project that is suitable for all aspects?

The secretary brought in the coffee and went out lightly.

Smelling the aroma of coffee, Bian Xuedao's eyes fell on Zhiwei Video's "Catalogue of Filing Management of Proposed Cooperation Projects".

Flipping through the folder and reading a few pages, a line of words attracted Bian Xuedao's attention - director Tian Xiao is looking for investment for the Journey to the West-themed 3D animated film "The Return of the Great Sage", and is in contact with us to negotiate. After reading the script, the marketing department evaluated the market prospect of the film as "average".

Hey......

After reading this line again, Bian Xuedao's eyes lit up.

"The Return of the Great Sage"?

Haven't heard of !!

Holding the folder, he silently recited the name of the movie several times, and made sure that he had no memory of the movie in his mind.

Without memory, there are only two possibilities.

Either this movie was not released in 2014, or this movie sank into the sea after it was made and did not make any waves.

Bian Xuedao is more inclined to the latter.

After two sips of coffee, Bian Xuedao's thinking became sharper.

――A 3D animated film with the theme of Journey to the West, an absolutely "open" project, and a strong topicality.

-- The marketing department evaluated its market prospects as "average", and there was no impression in his memory, so there was a great chance of losing money.

The only problem is that 3D animated movies are very expensive, and it is conservatively estimated that it will take 100 million yuan to make them, and the loss is a bit big.

However, on second thought, the "100 million yuan investment" is an eye-catching investment amount, which has crossed the watershed of 100 million and 100 million.

Let's put it this way, "Youdao Group lost 80 million yuan in investing in films" and "Youdao Group lost 100 million yuan in investing in films", the two give people a completely different feeling.

Just like many merchants like to mark the price of goods at 299 yuan, 399 yuan, 699 yuan, 899 yuan, and 999 yuan......

The difference of 1 yuan is a classic means in consumer psychology.

For Bian Xuedao, he can't stop the peeping in the shadows if he is reluctant to let the child trap the wolf, and he is reluctant to lose a lot of money.

The loss of this 100 million should make the outside world feel that Youdao Group is finally like a "normal company", which can make some people feel at ease.

100 million yuan for Taiping, from the cost performance point of view, you can give it a try.

On the other hand, the theme of Journey to the West is very pleasing, and after losing money, Youdao Group can play the card of "supporting the national animation industry", and it is estimated that it can gain a lot of sympathy points.

After pondering for a few seconds, Bian Xuedao picked up the pen, circled the four words "The Return of the Great Sage", and then wrote two words on the back - Liao Li.

It's okay to make micro-movies for video, and it's more appropriate to hand over a 3D movie with an investment of more than 100 million yuan to Liao Li's Cultural Film and Television Division.

Putting down the pen, I was just about to call Liao Lian with my office phone, when the mobile phone on the desk rang.

Seeing that the caller ID was Zhu Zhichun, he put down the microphone, picked up the mobile phone, connected it, and said with a smile: "Lao Zhu, miss me?"

On the phone, Zhu Zhichun also smiled and said, "I really miss you a little." ”

"I thought I'd come to Songjiang, I just bought two bottles of good wine. ”

"I'm in Matsue right now. ”

"When did you arrive in Matsue?"

"Came with my second uncle. ”

"Your second uncle?"

"Yes, my second uncle, he wants to see you. ”
