From a business point of view, Xiao Fan completely betrayed Yunxi's travel plan to Qiao Zimo, hoping that the light of the appearance of these two people would attract all the attention of the media. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

It's just that he really didn't expect that he had guessed the beginning of this matter, but the progress behind had completely exceeded his expectations.

Yunxi was when he got out of the car and entered the store, when he received a call from Qiao Zimo. Because there were no accessories on them, they directly asked the cruise manager to take them to the party and stop next to a favorite clothing store.

Dare to choose a clutch bag with a dress, and I heard Qiao Zimo's call.

"Where?" Qiao Zimo drove out of the basement, and asked about the location of Yunxi in the first sentence.

"I'm back in the city, what's wrong?" Yunxi was a little curious, why Qiao Zimo suddenly asked like this.

"I'll go find you." After thinking about it, he added: "Going to a party at night?" ”

Yunxi glanced at the manager, and when he saw the other party's embarrassed expression, he immediately rubbed his eyebrows: "Did you hear something messy from Xiao Fan?" ”

Although they had not been together for a long time, she had completely figured out the man's routine.

As long as it's not time to talk about work, it's completely afraid that the world will not be chaotic!

"He said, you're going to a model party." Qiao Zimo didn't feel any guilt for betraying his friend, on the contrary, he felt that he had been too tolerant of Xiao Fan before? even acquiesced to Yunxi's cooperation with him.

Yunxi paused, and simply explained the cause and effect of Zhang Rui's invitation to Situ Bai and his original intention to go to the party, and finally said helplessly: "It's just for work, you listen to his nonsense." ”

Situ Bai happened to walk to the jewelry area, and when he heard such an ear, he couldn't help but scratch his scalp, if Gongzi Qiao knew that she instigated Yunxi to participate in this party, would she ask Yunxi to stay away from her in the future?

"I'll be looking for you later, you send me the party address." Listening to Yunxi's gnashing of his teeth at Xiao Fan, Qiao Zimo seemed to be touched by it, couldn't help but smile slightly, and continued: "Or do you think it's inappropriate for me to go to the party together?" ”

His eyes were empty, and Yunxi turned his head. How did she answer this question?

Silently and helplessly sent the address text message to Qiao Zimo, Yunxi felt that tonight, I am afraid that it will not just grab the headlines. It's all about turning away from home into a home game!

The cruise ship manager wanted to think of himself as a gecko at the moment, so he simply broke his tail and fled, but unfortunately, there was no room for him to resist at all. In Yunxi's unpredictable eyes, he sat like pins and needles, and he was trembling all the way with cold sweat behind his back.

At five o'clock in the afternoon, Yunxi and Situ Bai arrived at one of the city's most famous five-star hotels.

Early in the morning, the public relations agency arranged a special greeter and emcee, and the beautifully dressed models, all tall and wearing short, tight dresses, stood at the door, and brought wrist flowers to each man and woman attending the party.

"Miss Situ Bai, I didn't expect to have a chance to meet you in person." The public relations manager greeted him with a look of surprise, his eyes were full of amazement, and while looking at Situ Bai, his eyes unconsciously stayed on Yunxi, as if his nerves were completely tensed! Such a beautiful beauty, dressed in a pearl-colored long dress, walked around, which simply trampled on the other actresses and models in the audience.

On the contrary, she seems to have taken all kinds of attention for granted. Rao is those media people looked at her with all kinds of inquiry and consideration, and she didn't move at all. The gaze is calm and calm, as if everything is the simplest daily life.

The light flickered and fell on her earlobe. That crystal earring, almost vertically to the collarbone. Accentuate her swan neck more and more elegantly. It shows a different charm outside the dignified atmosphere.

"Who is this?" Although he already had the answer in his heart, the public relations manager still politely asked Situ Bai, obviously, wanting her to be an introducer.

"Oh, I forgot to introduce, this is Leng Yunxi. My good friend. Situ Bai's abrupt figure does not show any disadvantage around Cai Yunxi, but there is a kind of person who has an innate aura that will make all the most exquisite things unconsciously retreat.

Yunxi is. She obviously stood there, didn't say a word, and even, with a faint smile on her face, but no one dared to come over to say hello without permission.

Knowing, Situ Bai's sentence "Leng Yunxi", the next moment, a low noise sounded around him instantly.

"Many of us have heard of Miss Leng's name, but I didn't expect to be lucky enough to meet you today, thank you so much for coming to Miss Zhang Rui's party." The public relations manager's face quickly turned into a flattered look, and almost with a kind of respect, he led Yunxi and Situ Bai into the hotel's outdoor pool.

Around the pool, it has been arranged as a meeting area early on.

The greenhouse garden is also ready.

When the time comes, the host officially announces the opening!

However, all Situ Bai's attention at the moment was no longer on that Zhang Rui's body.......

"Mr. Qiao hasn't arrived yet?" Judging by the time, it's almost time to arrive.

Yunxi glanced at the time: "Estimated, parking." "Just now, I received a call from him, saying that he had arrived at the door.

Situ Bai's eyes instantly seemed to be covered with a layer of light, and he was about to light up the sky!

And at this time, the person Yunxi didn't expect the most also appeared here.

Looking at that handsome and chic face, Yunxi shook the red wine in the wine glass, he really didn't expect to meet him today!

"Eh, did you see that? That Qiao Rui of the Qiao family is also there! Someone was muttering in his ear, obviously, he didn't expect that Qiao Rui's identity would appear here!

"I heard that the Qiao family seems to have been eyeing the largest shipping company in country H recently." The other person, thinking that his voice could not be heard by others, simply bit his ear directly. "The shipping story has been up and down too much recently, and it is estimated that he is also coming to see the situation." After all, the protagonist of today's party, the Zhang family, is also a big head in China in shipping.

Yunxi suddenly raised his eyebrows and glanced at Qiao Rui in the middle of the crowd. In the first half of 2016, the global shipping market hit a new low.

According to the 2016 interim report released by China COSCO on the evening of August 25, the company achieved operating income of 100 million yuan in the first half of 2016, a year-on-year decrease of 8. 50%； Net profit - 72. 0.9 billion yuan, down from the same period last year.

In this regard, industry insiders analyzed in one sentence: "Shipping stocks are the strongest cyclical industry, and now the whole economy is not good, and shipping stocks are certainly not good." ”

Xu Zhenwu, deputy general manager of China COSCO Shipping Group Co., Ltd., told Jian News reporters that the weak demand in the shipping market in the first half of this year, coupled with the off-season, made the freight rate poor, and the net profit of major shipping companies fell to a large extent compared with the same period last year.

Xu Zhenwu said that in the first half of the year, the average value of the Shanghai Export Container Freight Index (SCFI) and the China Export Container Freight Index (FI) were 533. 8 points and 690. 9 points, down 35 year-on-year. 8% and 28. 8%, and both fell to their lowest point on record.

In terms of freight rates, the mainstream freight rates of European and American trunk lines fell by about 40% year-on-year, and the extreme freight rates of the Asia-Europe route were once as low as 50 US dollars per TEU, which was lower than the level after the financial crisis in 2008.

Yan Haitao, the person in charge of the international logistics e-commerce platform "where to go" market, said to the interface news reporter: "The decline in freight rates is essentially an imbalance between supply and demand. ”

However, Yan Haitao said that from the end of the second quarter, as various shipping companies actively reduce capacity, coupled with the signs of improvement in China's import and export situation, freight rates have risen since the end of the second quarter; In addition, the third quarter is also the traditional peak season for shipping. These factors all indicate that the shipping market may pick up in the second half of the year.

Deng Huangjun, chief financial officer of China COSCO Shipping Group Co., Ltd., said in an interview with the interface that from the perspective of the financial report, the operating cost of China COSCO single ship has decreased by 7%, which reflects the synergistic effect brought by the integration of COSCO and COSCO Shipping, but this is a continuous process, and it is expected that the cost will be fully released in 2-3 years.

In response to the downturn in the market, COSCO is speeding up its global network layout on the one hand, and on the other hand, it is optimizing and upgrading the arrangement of routes and hub stations to make the route arrangement more reasonable and the transit efficiency higher.

On March 28 this year, COSCO SHIPPING Ports, a subsidiary of China COSCO, signed a supplementary agreement with Singapore Port Group for the joint operation of a container terminal. On May 11, the company signed an equity transfer agreement with ECT, a subsidiary of Hutchison Port Group, for the Euromax container terminal project in Rotterdam.

At present, the total container throughput of China's ocean shipping ports ranks second in the world. As of the end of June, the company had a total of 171 berths in operation in China's coastal areas and several hub ports around the world, including 149 container berths, 20 bulk cargo berths and 2 automobile berths in operation.

In terms of integration and optimization, Deng Huangjun told Jian News reporters that the route arrangement has a great impact on shipping companies, and in the sluggish market environment, they can reallocate underutilized ships to reduce costs and expand their own networks.

In the context of the overall downturn in the shipping industry, the major giants tend to huddle together for warmth. On April 20 this year, COSCO Container Lines, a subsidiary of China COSCO, signed a memorandum of cooperation with CMA CGM, Evergreen Shipping and OOCL, announcing the establishment of the "Ocean Alliance".

In addition to China COSCO, shipping giant Maersk Line, a subsidiary of the Maersk Group, reported a loss in the second quarter1. $5.1 billion; Hapag-Lloyd reported a loss of 1 in the first half of the year. $5.8 billion; OOCL Group had an operating loss of US$19 million.
