Chapter 1176: Between Shifts
From February 10th to February 12th, in three days, Dadong Group held an annual meeting, summarized the work in 2013, and laid out various plans for 2014.
Compared with previous years, there are many obvious changes in this annual meeting.
First of all, the venue of the conference is placed in the Quancheng Central Building, which not only has a spacious large conference room, but also provides one-stop service of catering and accommodation, that is to say, Dadong Group held the meeting completely on its own territory;
Secondly, most of the companies participating in the meeting achieved profitability in 2013, and on the whole, among the companies managed by Dadong Group, only Dadong General Aviation is loss-making, and Dadong Group's other Dadong enterprises, only Dadong Semiconductor and Island City Laboratory are loss-making, and even Dadong Cloud Data Company has achieved micro-profits under the accounting system;
Moreover, from the perspective of mental outlook, the company is very excited, we can see very clearly, the company has no internal worries, no external troubles, and moved into the landmark building of Quancheng, the company's strength and image are unprecedentedly good, everyone is full of confidence and expectations for the future;
Overall, the situation is very good, and the future is promising.
Boss Mu poured cold water on him when he was summarizing.
He pointed out that there are only two core enterprises under Dadong Group, one is Dadong Express, the other is Dadong Real Estate, and many other enterprises either serve these two enterprises, or the volume is not enough. The two core enterprises, Dadong real estate is greatly affected by the policy, and the future trend is not clear; Dadong Express is a labor-intensive industry with extremely heavy assets, and it is difficult to get rid of the tail. In the long run, the management cost is huge, the management difficulty is extremely high, and with the development of various intelligent equipment, it may be seriously impacted in the future.
However, companies other than Dadong Group, the industrial scale of Dadong Semiconductor and Island City Laboratory is still too small, the technical level is still backward, and Dadong Cloud Data is still facing many industrialization problems.
"We don't erase what we've achieved before, on the contrary, we've been proud for a long time to achieve so much in just a few years," Mudon concluded. However, the world trend is mighty, scientific and technological progress is changing with each passing day, new ideas, new technologies, and new industries are emerging in an endless stream, we need to keep a clear mind, put aside pride and complacency, continue to maintain a strong work enthusiasm and learning spirit, and make the company's various industries bigger and stronger. ”
……
After the meeting, many people in the company felt that becoming the boss of the National People's Congress was indeed a little different, not only with more and more sober minds, but also with more and more aura.
As for the crisis consciousness that Mu Dong said, many people can't understand and can't listen to it, but many high-level people listened to a rough idea, and after the annual meeting, they successively found Mu Dong to report on their experiences and experiences, and it was very lively for a while.
February 14, Valentine's Day. Mu Dong and Xiao Xiao were busy and went to Hong Kong, they didn't bring Xin'er, a pure two-person world. The two of them have been rich for a few years, but this is the first time they have left the country. In other words, this young rich couple still lacks baptism in terms of high-end consumption.
The two of them made up their minds temporarily, and only on the afternoon of February 13 did they remember to go out for a wave...... After a circle, I called the Ritz-Carlton and asked for a room.
The Ritz-Carlton Hotel received a phone call, and the executives were directly confused. Tomorrow is Valentine's Day, so you're only booking a room now? How can we squeeze it out? Besides, you don't just need one room, plus the accompanying bodyguards, at least three or four rooms, right?
However, no matter how difficult it is, it must be solved. Boss Mu and his wife are not only super VIPs of The Ritz-Carlton, but also partners, and his requirements must be met.
After some hard work, I finally squeezed out a large suite and two ordinary suites, as for the presidential suite, there was really no way, it was already booked out, and it was impossible to negotiate with the tenant.
Mu Dong doesn't care, as long as he can live comfortably, there is no need to pay too much attention to it.
……
At noon on Valentine's Day, Mu Dong and his entourage rushed to the hotel and were warmly welcomed by the store, and the Rolls-Royce Extended Phantom connected to the machine was also provided by the hotel.
Mu Dong declined the hotel's suggestion to hold a small welcome ceremony, took a short lunch break in the hotel, and then took Xiao Xiao to the street. When you come to a shopping paradise, how can you not go out and shop.
The Ritz-Carlton, Hong Kong, is located at the International Commerce Centre in West Kowloon, surrounded by shopping malls and not far from the well-known places such as Mong Kok, Tsim Sha Tsui and Kowloon City. However, it is not realistic to walk, and Hong Kong's three-dimensional traffic is dazzling, and some locals will have a headache. Fortunately, the hotel sent professionals and vehicles to accompany the accompaniment, which is also convenient.
Xiao Xiao felt a little guilty that he didn't bring the child out, so he asked to see the children's clothes first, so everyone went to Lee Gardens Mall in Causeway Bay, where there is a special children's store area, which is very famous.
Entering the mall, with bodyguards and escorts behind him, Mu Dong whispered, "How is it, daughter-in-law?"
Xiao Xiao thought for a while and said, "Prosperous, lively, and magnificent." But both the building and the street are depressing, and there is so much perfume in the lobby on the ninth floor that I don't like it. ”
Mu Dong was taken aback, he thought that his daughter-in-law would be very satisfied, but he didn't expect to find so many faults.
So he said: "Then next time I don't live here, find a hotel farther away, live in a villa or something." ”
Xiao Xiao smiled: "Actually, the reason why I was able to find some small problems is because I am in a good mood and have a stable mentality, and in general, it is already very good." ”
Mu Dong smiled: "That's good, the hotel helped to order roses and dinner in the evening, just downstairs in Tianlong Xuan, which is said to be a two-star Michelin." ”
Xiao Xiao happily threw a wink and whispered: "It's the first time for you to spend Valentine's Day with me so officially, keep working hard, boy." ”
"No problem, as long as you have time. Mu Dong smiled.
"Hmph, no sincerity. ”
……
The two talked and laughed, helped Xin'er buy a few children's clothes, bought some toys, and then went to other shopping malls, bought some clothing and jewelry, and prepared some small gifts for the family.
Street lamps, neon signs, and signboards are lit up one after another, and the streets become more lively, with all kinds of men and women shuttling through the streets, wandering through shopping malls, tasting food in restaurants, staying in entertainment venues, and then going to their own happy time......
Mu Dong and his entourage went back to the hotel to put down their things first, and then Mu Dong took a small bouquet of roses and took Xiao Xiao to Tianlongxuan Chinese Restaurant, followed by several bodyguards, and went to experience two-star Michelin food together. For this reason, several bodyguards specially changed into formal clothes. The boss held up everyone's insides, and of course everyone didn't want to lose face with the boss.
An elegant meal, complicated procedures, Boss Mu and Xiao Xiao were at a table alone, and they ate quietly and deliciously.
A few bodyguards eat so helplessly, delicious is really delicious, especially this is a Chinese restaurant, the taste is also in line with everyone's taste, but really not enough.
Well, this kind of restaurant is not a place for people to eat at all, food stalls are.
The night was dark, everyone enjoyed the perfect meal, and went back to their rooms.
Mu Dong and Xiao Xiao live in a large suite on the 116th floor, with a great angle, through the large floor-to-ceiling windows, looking out onto the glittering Victoria Bay.
The two of them snuggled up in front of the window, neither of them spoke, and the occasional whistling wind swept through the sky, and the sound was still low and clear after being filtered by the thick glass.
"When the dark blue mansion in the island city is built, the scenery is no less than here. Mu Dong said in a low voice.
Xiao Xiao thought for a while and whispered, "I don't know if Xin'er has slept." ”
Belch......
……
The next morning, the group returned to Quancheng.
This short trip made Mu Dong understand two truths.
First, it costs people and money. One of my own ideas, although extremely romantic, is too costly, and the accompanying bodyguards are indispensable, so that the overall team is too large;
Second, the effect is very poor. Whether it's shopping or eating, there are too many people behind you, and privacy cannot be guaranteed. Coupled with Xiao Xiao's concern for Xin'er, the romance was also discounted.
Boss Mu felt that this action was far from his expectations, so he barely passed.
……
Xiao Xiao, who returned home, saw that Xin'er didn't care, asked in detail, and learned that the child slept well last night in the company of his grandparents, and he was a little disappointed.
Mu Dong looked amused on the side, and said in Xiao Xiao's ear: "Bai is worried, right? You should have been more involved last night." ”
Xiao Xiao rolled his eyes: "I want you to take care of it." ”
……
The annual meeting has ended, Valentine's Day has passed, and Boss Mu has once again devoted himself to orderly and busy work.
On February 16, there was good news that the two fixed routes applied by Dadong Airlines were finally approved and will start flying from March 1, these two routes are, Lunan to Shanghai and Lunan to Yangcheng.
The route has undergone a lot of research, the passenger flow is stable, and the prospects are promising, especially the route to and from Yangcheng, the Canton Fair twice a year in spring and autumn will bring a peak passenger flow that lasts for three or four months, and the expected income is very good.
Ai Dongqiang, general manager of Dadong Airlines, who came to report the news, also submitted a promotion plan, planning to take 10 days to implement a low-fare strategy, with a round-trip ticket price of 399 yuan from Lunan to Shanghai, and a round-trip ticket price of 599 yuan from Lunan to Yangcheng.
After listening to this, Mu Dong said with a smile: "The idea is good, but the courage is still small." Our core customers are local business and official people in Lunan, so there is no need for large-scale advertising, only in Lunan local focus on publicity, and the saved advertising costs can be all smashed into promotional activities. In my opinion, the price can be lower, the promotion period can be a little longer, and a few one-yuan tickets can be launched every day for consumers to grab, so that it is interesting. ”
Ai Dong Qiangle was broken, but he said with embarrassment: "Mr. Mu, in this way, it will be difficult for us to make a profit in a short period of time." ”
Mu Dong waved his hand: "It's okay, if these two routes can stabilize the passenger flow within three months, and achieve breakeven within half a year, you can complete the task." ”
Ai Dongqiang nodded: "Okay, Mr. Mu, we will work hard." Also, in terms of the inaugural flight ceremony?"
Mu Dong thought for a while and said: "In terms of passenger transportation, we are basically small reptiles, the strength is pitiful, or low-key, I participate, the Civil Aviation Administration will also come, and then invite the leaders of the city to participate, it will be almost the same." ”
Ai Dongqiang couldn't believe his ears, such a big thing, even the provincial leaders were not invited?
Seeing Ai Dongqiang's undisguised doubts, Mu Dong had no choice but to say: "On March 5th, I will go to the capital for a meeting. ”
Ai Dong said strongly, does it matter?
But he said, "Oh, oh, I understand." ”
Ai Dongqiang understood that Boss Mu wanted to be low-key, but he didn't understand why he wanted to be low-key. In his opinion, if the first flight ceremony is attended by bigwigs, at least it can be appeared on local TV and newspapers in Lunan for a period of time, which can not only save some advertising costs, but also have a better effect than spending money on advertising.
Of course, he wouldn't know that before the Spring Festival, when Director Jing said that Mu Dong was breaking the rules, Boss Mu had already decided to do everything according to the rules.
This time, the first flight ceremony was a small airline that opened two pitiful routes, and the municipal leaders attended, which was enough.
That's the rule.
……
After Ai Dongqiang left, Mu Dong went to the city government, and Mayor Cai Guoliang was invited.
As Mu Dong expected, Mayor Cai was talking about the subway, and said directly: "Mr. Mu, you have a lot of projects along the subway, and there are four plots of land that have not yet been developed. ”
Mu Dong smiled: "As long as you pull out the timeline, anyone has to shut up." The first time I photographed the eastern plot was in July 2010, and now it has been completed and handed over to the residents. In other words, I don't have any gossip, otherwise this plot might not have started construction now. In addition, I heard that it was not until the year before last that the two subway line plans were finalized, and it was not until the middle of last year that the direction was finalized, and all the eastern plots in my hands were photographed before that. ”
Cai Guoliang said in his heart, this kid has eaten gunpowder, and he has said so much.
He said with a smile: "Yes, since the second half of last year, the government has not released land plots in the eastern part of the city, which is also based on subway planning considerations. ”
Mu Dong spread his hands: "So, ah......"
Cai Guoliang lit the cigarette in his hand and said happily: "I wanted to blackmail you, but it seems that it won't work, so let's talk about responsibilities and interests." Let's put it this way, the budget for Metro Line 1 this time is 19 billion, and the city's finances are very tight, can you support it?"
"Absolutely. Mu Dong smiled: "I personally donated 10 million, how about it?"
Cai Guoliang laughed: "Okay, I wrote it down, the 10 million is your sense of responsibility, and then we will talk about interests." ”
Mu Dong pouted: "Don't talk about it, you won't sell the land in the east for at least two or three years, so it's impossible to provide me with a land pledge." Let me give money for nothing, and I can't do it, so I don't have to talk about it. ”
Cai Guoliang was not in a hurry, and said with a smile: "The land in the western part of the city, you don't think about it." ”
Mu Dong waved his hand: "Don't think about it, the parking lot of the high-speed rail station is particularly economical, and sooner or later it will ruin the traffic in that area, so I won't go to join in the fun." ”
Cai Guoliang nodded: "It's true, but few people say it so directly." ”
"So, we don't have any interests to talk about, hehe. Mu Dong smiled.
……
From beginning to end, the two did not talk about the amount of funds, and in the end they did not reach any intentions. Both men knew that this was a show, a show that had to be done, just to gag some people's mouths.
The reason is that some people are greedy for the eastern plots that Boss Mu photographed before.
Gluttony is greedy, everyone knows that Boss Mu's things are not easy to grab, so he had to complain behind his back, cautiously create some public opinion, and strive to link the financial difficulties of the subway project with Boss Mu's huge benefits, in order to achieve some dark purposes.
Of course, Boss Mu will not be fooled.
Cai Guoliang will not be stupid and make a fuss.
Everyone performed tacitly, and at the right time, Mayor Cai introduced the situation of contact with Boss Mu, and just went through the motions.
As for the funding for the construction of the subway, it is not a matter at all. If the Quancheng city government comes forward now and says that we are really struggling with funds, the upper authorities will stop the project in a minute.
The construction period of the subway is very long, the allocation of funds is very slow, and the surrounding land prices will rise quickly.
