Chapter 1383 Rush Back to Jiangdong to Carry the Banner
Wu Tao put down the wine cup, clapped his hands, and did not intend to drink anymore.
"The times are developing and society is progressing. Especially today with the rapid spread of high technology and the Internet. I can tell you that ten years from now, the high-speed rail plan with four vertical and four horizontal lines will not be able to meet actual needs at all. At least seven vertical and seven horizontal lines will be needed. Horizontal, even more!”
"...By then, high-speed rail will become the largest carrier of domestic passenger transportation. It is not only fast and convenient, but also extends in all directions. By connecting all developed and underdeveloped areas, the effect of central cities driving surrounding cities will be highlighted. Even Different economic circles also have linkage effects because of high-speed rail."
In Wu Tao's view, this description is just a description of what will inevitably happen in the future.
However, in the eyes of Xiao Ruiguang and Chen Junwei, it is a development blueprint with great potential.
Even Aunt Hua, Fang Yuan and Liu Ruoxi were entranced.
But after Xiao Ruiguang thought about it, he couldn't help but ask: "No, the United States is a developed country, and it is also the target of our catching up. Their passenger transportation is mainly air transportation, and no one takes the train at all!"
Several people felt that it made sense when Xiao Ruiguang mentioned it like this.
There's really no way to explain this.
Wu Tao could only say: "Although we are learning to catch up with them, it does not mean that we must repeat their old ways. This may also be regarded as our characteristic, and we will naturally see the results when the time comes."
When it comes to the topic of longing for the future, everyone can't help but talk loudly.
It wasn't until eleven o'clock in the evening that the meal finally came to an end.
Early the next morning, the sky was bright.
Wu Tao left the capital by plane and expected to arrive in Jinling before lunch. After lunch, there were several meetings waiting for him to attend.
I don’t know if I don’t go back, and I will be frightened when I want to go back.
Just as he was about to close his eyes and catch up on some sleep, a familiar voice suddenly sounded in his ears, "Sir, would you like a glass of red wine to help you rest?"
Before Wu Tao could turn around, Liu Ruoxi beside him said in surprise: "Hey, purser Li, why are you taking a domestic flight?"
Wu Tao also saw Li Qiuwen, whose pretty face was full of joy, and the same question appeared in her eyes.
Li Qiuwen squatted down beside the two of them and explained: "The situation on domestic routes is more complicated now, so we naturally move these screws wherever they are needed."
Although he meant to be modest, Wu Tao still heard the subtext.
That is, as a key member of the airline company, it is natural that the difficulties arise.
So Wu Tao said: "Congratulations!"
Li Qiuwen lowered her head, and the shyness of her lowered head was even more beautiful.
"Mr. Wu, let's have a glass of red wine. I specially brought a bottle of wine from the castle. It tastes good."
After hesitating, he quickly explained: "I only brought one bottle, just hoping to meet you on the plane again one day."
"Uh..." Wu Tao really couldn't answer these words.
However, Liu Ruoxi was sympathetic and wisely came to the rescue: "Then give us a drink. Thank you, the steward."
The wine stored in the castle does have a unique magic power, and more importantly, it makes Wu Tao taste like home.
After all, when I was staying at Villa No. 2 in the Royal Garden, I often drank this Tibetan wine as a drink. My mouth and buds were already used to the taste and sourness.
After a quick drink, I slept more soundly.
During that period, Li Qiuwen didn't bother her anymore except to deliver blankets and newspapers.
Before getting off the plane at Jinling Airport, Liu Ruoxi said hello: "If you have time after landing, come to our house as a guest."
Li Qiuwen had a look of surprise on her face. She put her slender fingers to her ears and made a phone call gesture.
With the support of Song Zhuang and his party, as soon as Wu Tao walked out of the airport, he met An Rong and the motorcade who came to pick him up.
Such treatment is indeed better than any words.
The two hugged on the spot and got into the car happily.
In the Rolls-Royce, Wu Tao touched An Rong's delicate hand and said, "You came to pick me up in public. You don't even plan to let me eat lunch. Tell me, what's the matter?"
An Rongqiong sniffed and spat out her sweet tongue and said, "My dad said that you will be able to guess it as soon as I come to pick you up. Since you have already guessed it, why are you asking?"
"Okay, you have a point." Although An Rong twisted his body, Wu Tao still held her slender hand in his hand and kept stroking it: "Uncle An can't even wait for the night. It seems that the central government has plans to boost economic security. The internal reference for development has been issued.”
An Rong pumped her cheeks and said quite cutely: "You can guess everything. Why don't you be Comrade Lao An's good daughter? I can abdicate in favor of someone better."
"Don't be ridiculous, I'm a man!" After Wu Tao retorted, he took An Rong's delicate hand and asked: "How has the company's business been doing since the beginning of the new year?"
An Rong pursed her lips and sighed softly, "The business volume has not shrunk, but it is not in line with expectations. When the company organizes meetings to discuss issues, the people below always think it is related to the current anti-African situation, but I think this That’s not the crux of the problem.”
Wu Tao pondered without speaking.
An Rongwu continued: "I often think that after Tianan Company took over IBM's brand value, the growth momentum maintained by resting on its laurels is declining. If this continues, sooner or later we will have nothing to lose."
"What do you propose?"
This is the first time An Rong has asked so seriously.
Wu Tao thought for a while and said: "I'm afraid your worries are right. The current general situation does have a certain impact on business volume, but that is not the point. IBM's brand value is good for Tianan, but only in the notebook direction."
"...Tianan started with branded desktop computers, and you have to continue to work hard in this regard. Try to make the brand of desktop computers more famous, let the brand fully accumulate, and form a positive reputation. Let consumers know that Tianan's Products have continuous innovation and vitality.”
An Rong tilted her head and thought about it all the way, then put Wu Tao down at the gate of the compound on Capital West Road and headed straight back to Tian'an Company.
So An Dingguo took him to eat lunch alone in the canteen.
The same place, the same plot, but the people are different.
When Wu Tao came here in the past, he mostly ate and chatted with Liang Yancheng.
Now that he is replaced by Comrade Lao An, he is even more familiar with it. Even the master chef in the small canteen recognizes him.
Wu Tao sat down and rubbed his hands and said: "Uncle An, you called me here in such a hurry and you are so worried. Could it be because of my affairs that have brought you trouble?"
An Dingguo waved his hand and glanced in the direction of the kitchen. It would take a while for the food to be served.
Then he explained: "Your matter has been settled a long time ago, and there is no way to make any waves. I am worried about other things..."
