What kind of person is Lan Shili?

"Lan Shili writes that he is a tragic hero: all failures are caused by bad luck or bad luck, and all lawsuits and disputes are caused by false accusations. This may be Lan Shili's life story On the one hand, there are also some reasons that Lan Shili did not write or was unwilling to write about: his imagination often surpasses the institutional reality and his own financial ability; he has a strong gambling habit, but he is willing to gamble but refuses to admit defeat, and even Don’t hesitate to break the business rules of integrity.”——Excerpted from Sanlian Life Weekly, reporter Chen Xiao.

Lan Shili calls himself a tragic hero. The Eastern Star Airlines he established collapsed in less than three years, which seems a bit tragic.

At the beginning of the establishment of Dongxing, the tourism industry chain described by Lan Shili was aviation + travel agency + fleet + scenic spots + 95151 calling platform.

From the very beginning, Lan Shili's airline was built on a "castle in the air", which is the most vivid metaphor of a former executive of Eastern Star Airlines.

Civil aviation is a money-burning industry and must be supported by sufficient funds. However, the initial registered capital of East Star Airlines was only 80 million, and all nine aircraft were leased, resulting in huge rental pressure.

"In fact, starting from 2007, East Star Airlines' financial situation began to deteriorate, and defaulting on aircraft rental arrears to GECAS has become a common occurrence."

Pilots have always been a scarce resource. After the establishment of Eastern Star Airlines, it only poached pilots from other airlines. In order to poach three captains who were over 45 years old from an airline, a high price of 3 million was offered, which far exceeded the maximum turnover fee of 2.1 million stipulated by the Civil Aviation Administration of China.

Lawyer Zhu Daokun, who is responsible for the flow of pilots under the bankruptcy administrator, explained that in order to quickly establish a flying team, Lan Shili offered the highest salary in China’s civil aviation industry, even double that of other aviation companies. It also brought great financial pressure to East Star Airlines. At the same time, Lan Shili also discovered the "rebelliousness" of these pilots. The pilots and Lan Shili had been negotiating for a long time on salary issues, and Lan Shili could not fire these pilots. He could only increase the pilots' wages again and again. He could only rely on salary increases to retain the pilots.

East Star Airlines owes money everywhere, ranging from tens of millions to tens of thousands of yuan. There are more than 200 companies. "I have never thought of such a thing." said a Zhejiang boss of a plastic toy factory. "East Star Airlines said at the time that it owed the payment for the goods. I thought how could such a big company run away? I didn't expect that it would be delayed for two years. "Much of the time."

Four small business owners in Zhongxiang City, Hubei Province have experienced the same thing. They have been supplying dishes, oil and rice to the Dongxing International Hotel in Oak Tree Bay, Kedian Town, Zhongxiang City since 2006. wait. A boss named Xia Hongyi said: "We have always been confused by the superficial appearance of Dongxing Group, supplying goods at low prices and making small profits. But after a few years, Dongxing owed our four suppliers more than 1.5 million yuan, and we had no money. It was returned to the upstream suppliers, and they suffered a lot. They hid everywhere at the end of the year and could not return home. "

In 1996, Xiaogan Branch supported the Xiaogan Municipal Economic Commission to develop real estate in Macau, but the Municipal Economic Commission was unable to do so. To repay the loan, the real estate in Macau will be used to offset the loan. Xiaogan ICBC somehow entrusted Lan Shili to manage it, but he secretly sold the property and kept the money in his own pocket. Later, Xiaogan Branch filed a lawsuit in Xiaogan Court. Although Zhang Jie, as the plaintiff's attorney in this case, won the lawsuit, he has not yet recovered a penny.

Do not talk about credit, and never play by the rules of the game. These tricks may be effective in a short period of time in the low-end service field, but in high-end industries, especially foreign-related high-risk industries, they are I can’t play anymore.

"Neither Airbus nor General Motors suffered much losses during this bankruptcy. They have risk control. When Eastern Star Airlines defaulted, they activated an emergency hedging mechanism to cover the losses. Control it to a minimum, and start the legal process quickly, unlike domestic companies, which don’t expect airlines to not pay back the money.”

“To fly, the plane always needs to be refueled. Find an airport to land at! Whether it's the aviation fuel company or the airport, they don't care about the airline's arrears. They have to settle the accounts anyway, and they are used to accepting credit." A former executive of East Star Airlines named Zhou. explain.

All borrowings of Dongxing Group come from asset mortgages. In order to prevent assets from being seized, Dongxing Group often changes its assets, and may even have a subsidiary of Dongxing sue another subsidiary of the group to seize assets first and avoid creditors from pursuing debts.

Although Lan Shili holds 100% of the company, he has never served as a legal person of the company. The purpose of his doing so is, firstly, to "avoid being held accountable by law", and secondly, to find all debtors. Not to him. "He has exhausted all the laws, all the games and loopholes that can be played." ——Excerpted from Sanlian Life Weekly, reporter Chen Xiao.

The Eastern Star Kingdom, which was built on the "castle in the air", was shaken to its true colors when the financial crisis came.

"East Star Airlines was already in critical condition, and the reorganization with Air China was Lan's best chance to reverse the crisis, but his agency was too clever and cost Qing Qing her life," said lawyer Zhang Jie.
