Chapter 302 New Institution Listing
Another reason why Schneider seems relatively relaxed about the loan issue is that after the establishment of "Qiong Lianfa", Daming's shareholders must inject capital into the bank as a deposit. According to Schneider's estimate, the amount of money is close to 100,000 taels at least, and once it is deposited, it cannot be easily withdrawn. Therefore, the bank will make small-scale loans to other units within the group in the near future, and will not increase the cash flow. There won't be much pressure.
As for the policy scale, as Tao Donglai said, professional decision-making should be left to professionals. As long as Schneider believes that this measure is appropriate, the Executive Committee will also support and recognize his decision— -Of course, if this really causes losses to the Cross-Trade Group, then Schneider, the person in charge, may indeed take the blame for this.
However, as a veteran financial fraudster, Schneider has never been a timid person who dare not take the blame. Moreover, long before time travel, he was already responsible for managing tens of millions of funds of the entire time travel group, and the entire financial system in the future. He will also take the lead in constructing it. In comparison, the amount processed now is only a small amount. The executive committee will certainly not have any doubts about this.
Of course, lending business can only be handled by officially opened banks under the rule of Chuan Chuan Group. Other external forces are absolutely not allowed to interfere in the financial industry. In this regard, even if there are no compulsory measures, the financial department of the Crossing Group already has a great advantage - in the areas managed by the Crossing Group, the only currency that can be used in normal circulation is Haihan circulation certificates, which are real gold. Silver is only used when the government conducts trade with the outside world, so it is basically impossible for outsiders to engage in financial business on Haihan territory. As for whether there will be people in the future who use circulating coupons to engage in business such as loan sharking, it depends on the law enforcement intensity of the relevant departments.
Tao Donglai said: "After handling the loan matter, prepare for the work handover."
When He Xi heard this, he put down the teacup he had just raised to his lips and said in shock: "Are you going to transfer Mr. Shi back to the base camp?"
Tao Donglai nodded and said: "Counting the time, it has been more than half a year since Mr. Shi came to Guangzhou to take charge of the work. Now the business of the Guangzhou Office has basically started, and Mr. Shi's task has been basically completed. Let's talk about our financial system. It is still in the initial stage, and there are many specific matters that must be managed by Mr. Shi.”
After Schneider was transferred to the Guangdong Office, many financial construction work was temporarily put on hold. Now, as the scale of Chuanchuan Group's business is getting larger and larger, some highly professional projects must have capable professionals to take charge of the work. Only then can we proceed. Although the framework of banks and currency control agencies has been initially established, the operation of the entire financial system does not just rely on one or two units, but also requires a complete set of laws, regulations, and policy rules and regulations that match it. Formulating these things is not something that half-hearted non-professionals can do.
He Xi sighed and said: "What a pity, it is rare to meet a partner like Mr. Shi!"
Schneider smiled and said: "How about you also submit an application to the Executive Committee and be transferred back to Victory Port?"
He Xi shook his head repeatedly and said: "How can that be done? I will become an idler when I go back. Guangzhou is a place more suitable for me to use my strengths."
After the three of them chatted and laughed for a while, He Xi asked again: "After Mr. Shi leaves, who will be the leader of the General Office? Who will be responsible for the bank affairs? Mr. Tao, don't expect to pass the blame to me. Ah, I was never meant for administrative work.”
"Just be your 007. The executive committee doesn't expect you to take on this responsibility." Tao Donglai responded with a smile.
In fact, the Executive Committee will make some major personnel adjustments to various overseas agencies in the near future. For example, Gu Kai and Schneider, currently stationed abroad among the Executive Committee, will be transferred back to Shengli Port due to work needs. The overseas agencies will also adjust their staffing as their functions continue to increase.
"Mr. Tao, please tell me how to adjust this staff first, so that I can be mentally prepared." He Xi was unwilling to give up and looked like he wanted to get to the bottom of it.
Tao Donglai sighed and said: "Well, in terms of banking affairs, the executive committee is planning to transfer Cai Jinmei to Guangzhou to take charge of the work. This appointment arrangement is also recommended by Mr. Shi."
He Xi nodded: "The person recommended by Mr. Shi must be qualified. But I heard that this woman has a bad temper and a bit of a poisonous tongue."
"She's just a tough guy, she doesn't seem to be easy to get along with, but she's actually quite nice..." As Schneider said, he saw the two people next to him staring at him with strange eyes, and he quickly argued: "Don't think twice. I have no other ideas. The reason why I recommended her is purely because of her business ability. In the future, Qiong Lianfa will be established and the business of the development bank will be more and more, and there must be professionals. This is where we should be in charge of financial work. Cai Jinmei worked in a bank before she traveled through time, and she was a middle-level manager. In terms of professionalism, she is actually more qualified for this position than me."
"Of course, of course." He Xi smiled and nodded: "If you really had any idea, you would let her stay in Shengli Port instead of recommending her to take over in Guangzhou before resigning and returning to Shengli Port, right? ?”
Schneider couldn't laugh or cry: "You are really a spy. You have so many strange thoughts in your head. Do you think everyone is as sinister as you?"
Tao Donglai interrupted their argument with a dry cough: "In terms of private life, the executive committee will not interfere too much, as long as it does not affect the work... As for administration, the executive committee is currently considering Ma Li as the successor. Section.”
The smile on He Xi's face became slightly stiff: "Oh, my old partner! That saves the time of running in..."
When the executive committee was preparing to establish the Guangdong Office, only two people, Schneider and He Xi, were transferred. Needless to say, Schneider is an executive committee member, and sitting in Guangzhou to preside over work has obvious political significance. In addition, he is the financial and trade leader of the Cross Group. From the perspective of professional counterpart, the executive committee has great respect for him. The arrangement is also impeccable. However, the Executive Committee selected He Xi as one of the leaders of the Guangdong Office in the first batch of expatriate cadres, which made his colleagues in Yazhou somewhat jealous.
Before He Xi left office, he could clearly feel the sentiments of others, especially Malik and Qiu Yuan, who wanted to pursue a career in politics. They were probably quite disappointed with the arrangements of the executive committee. He Xi didn't expect that after half a year, he would be working with Maliko again.
Tao Donglai explained: "Malik has done a good job in Yazhou for more than half a year. Whether it is presiding over the work of foreign agencies or living in the Ming-controlled area, he has adapted better. And before he traveled through Working in the Investment Promotion Office, he is considered a professional. After the establishment of Qiong Lianfa, there will be a lot of investment work to be done. The last reason why we decided to transfer him here is because of the professional counterpart. Considering that you have worked together for a while, with your help, he will get started with various tasks faster." He Xi smiled and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Tao, we have worked together for a few times. Months later, there is still a tacit understanding at work.”
Tao Donglai is such a shrewd person. As soon as he heard He Xi's statement, he could feel that the personal relationship between the two people was not very good - people who had worked together day and night for several months, if they just established a working relationship relationship, there must be something between them.
However, Tao Donglai would not point out such a thing. In a group as big as the Time Travel Group, it is impossible for everyone to treat each other as relatives. The relationship between members must be close and distant. In serious cases, it is definitely possible to dislike each other. exist. But as long as it does not affect the work or cause damage to the interests of the group, the leader will not interfere too much in the personal relationships between members.
Tao Donglai continued: "You should prepare the relevant handover procedures first, and they will be arranged to take over the work here by the middle of this month at the latest."
The first anniversary of the time travel will be celebrated at the beginning of next month. In addition to the celebrations, there will also be a large number of organizational adjustments and new policies to be implemented. Schneider must also complete the handover of the work of the Guangdong Office before then and return to Victory Port to participate in the implementation. A series of important matters of the committee.
In the evening of the same day, the invited "Fu Ruifeng" Li family and his son came to the Guangdong Office to discuss with Tao Donglai face to face the method and content of the next cooperation between the two parties. This was also the first face-to-face contact between the actual power holders of both parties.
The main content of the talks is how to take into account the interests of both parties in the cooperation method in the future. Although the trade agreement reached between "Furuifeng" and Chuanchuan Group in the early stage made the Li family a lot of money, this situation of being unique in the Guangzhou shopping mall did not last long, and it was far less than " Fulifeng’s expectations when signing the agreement. Especially after the opening of Victory Port to attract investment, "Furuifeng" gradually lost its competitive advantage of exclusive supply of goods. More and more mainland businessmen obtained purchase opportunities from Victory Port, which greatly affected "Furuifeng" profit level.
And due to the backdoor that Crossing Group intentionally left in the trade agreement, "Fu Ruifeng" was exploited and could not turn its back on it, so the Li family still felt a little bit resentful in their hearts. But at least they entered the market early, and at least they can exclusively enjoy the treatment of a "most favored trading partner", so that they will not be squeezed out by other competitors in the market with their cost advantages.
However, the recently profitable arms monopoly business has also been affected. Xu Xinsu, the original terminal sales target, now skipped "Furuifeng" and went directly to Shengli Port to find Haihan people to ship. Xu Xinsu's official status and strong strength made it impossible for "Fu Ruifeng" to even find fault, and could only sit back and watch this part of the profits disappear quickly. According to their own estimates, just the impact on the arms business will cause "Furuifeng" to lose at least 20,000 taels of silver in the next year. This makes the Li family and his son deeply feel the need to develop as soon as possible. New Business Necessity.
For the various emerging industries advocated by Schneider, the Li family and his sons are indeed interested in participating in them. However, due to the hidden losses they suffered in previous trade agreements, the Li family and his son are also very wary of the various terms of the new cooperation method, so the negotiation process has always been relatively slow. After all, compared to foreign merchants like Wang Qin who were deceived by Yi Bo Liu, "Fu Ruifeng" has dealt with the crossing group much more often and knows more about the Haihan people's methods. It is no longer the same as in the beginning to believe whatever is said, but there are more demands for the protection of interests.
Tao Donglai's personal appearance this time was also a way to express the attitude of the executive committee to "Fu Ruifeng". First, it valued and sincerely cooperated with "Fu Ruifeng" as a partner, and secondly, he also wanted to explain to them the attitude of the executive committee. The bottom line of the committee's cooperation method was to eliminate some of the unrealistic fantasies of the Li family and his son - such as Li Jifeng's proposal to "Qiong Lianfa", a shareholder discussion method in which two shareholders take turns to take charge.
The executive committee's bottom line for the operation of "Qiong Lianfa" is that Haihan will have absolute control. Li Jifeng's plan of taking turns to be the banker will definitely not be approved by the executive committee. However, as an appeasement measure for the largest trading partner, the Executive Committee proposed benefits such as lowering land use fees and increasing the supply of in-demand commodities, and stated that the fees required for "Furuifeng" to join "Qiong Lianfa" could be waived. Ten thousand taels of credit deposit.
Finally, after Tao Donglai increased the condition to monthly settlement after delivery, Li Jifeng finally relented and expressed his approval of Haihan's planning and arrangement for "Qiong Lianfa". As for the armed escort agency that the two parties had already discussed, Li Jifeng did not express too many objections, because the preparations for this agency have entered the final stage, and the official legal procedures were obtained last month. , the staffing has already been in place, just waiting to open for business.
If there was any disagreement during this process, it would probably just be the naming of this organization. The names "Xinglong, Changlong, Wantong, Zhongyi, and Guangsheng" proposed by "Fu Ruifeng" were all rejected by Schneider and He Xi for reasons such as insufficient style and unclear image. The final name adopted was Base Camp. "Golden Shield Security" was selected through online voting. It is worth mentioning that the second and third place winners in this vote were "Longmen Security Bureau" and "SF Express" respectively.
Two days later, the "Golden Shield Security" launching ceremony and the first preparatory meeting for "Qiong Lianfa" were held at the Guangdong Office. This was probably the busiest day since the establishment of the Office. Almost all merchants in Guangzhou who had done business with the Guangdong Office and Furifeng were present, and even many merchants who had not received invitations at all sent representatives to express their congratulations.
This is not because the Guangdong Office's influence has reached a level that can influence Guangzhou's business district, but it is just a small trick used by Schneider. After confirming the auspicious date for the opening of the business half a month ago, the China-Guangzhou Office and "Furuifeng" simultaneously sent out invitations to relevant households in Guangzhou's business district, along with a message - the China-Guangzhou Office would be on site on the opening day. Twenty sets of limited edition cut glass stationery from the first year of Chongzhen will be auctioned off at no reserve price, and there will also be a large number of on-site raffles. The prizes will all be Haihan glassware shipped from Victory Port.
As soon as this news came out, even people who had nothing to do with the Guangdong Office in Guangzhou would be interested in watching the excitement. In fact, this method of increasing popularity has already been carried out once before when "Haihan Bookstore" opened, and the effect can be said to be quite good. The cost is small, the effect is good, and the spread of news and speed are excellent. This kind of hype method will not be used only once and then thrown away. Even Tao Donglai couldn't help but praise the Guangdong Office's move as "doing it at a small cost" A great example of "big things".
Li Jifeng specially brought the Li family militia group from his hometown to Guangzhou two days in advance to play an appropriate role on this day. If it weren't for the two hundred or so men maintaining order at the scene, the thousands of people watching around would be enough to overwhelm the opening scene. A mess.
After the traditional lion dance, Schneider, the representative of Haihan, and Li Jifeng, the owner of "Furuifeng", hung a plaque with the words "Golden Shield Security" outside the gate of the Guangdong Office. This is also the first company listed in the "Haihan Office in Guangzhou", "Haihan Product Exhibition and Trading Center", "Haihan Bookstore Operations Office", "Haihan Shantang Operations Office", and "Haihan Development Bank Guangzhou Branch" Another new plaque at the entrance of the Guangdong Office.
However, what is different from several other units is that the organization "Golden Shield Security" is temporarily located in the General Office of the People's Republic of China for the purpose of business promotion. After the expansion of the Guangdong Office in Guangzhou, the office location of "Golden Shield Security" will be independent, and a small number of armed personnel will be stationed in the name of the bodyguard team for a long time.
According to the official registration information of "Golden Shield Security", the boss is not Li Jifeng, but his third son Li Nai who has always been close to the Haihan people. After Li Nai returned to Guangzhou from Victory Port, he spent more time at the Guangdong Office than at home every month. Sometimes he even stayed at the Guangdong Office at night. Let him serve as the boss of this joint venture company, which is really a waste of money. Yes, at least you don’t have to worry too much about this rich second-generation boss being lazy and skipping work.
Yu Yao and Xiao Liang, two military representatives from the Guangdong Office, also serve as instructors for the "Golden Shield Security". Prior to this, they had been conducting basic military discipline and combat skills training for the Li Jia Militia, and it was well deserved to take up this position. However, since the two of them are also responsible for the security escort mission of the China Guangdong Office, they cannot be expected to participate in the off-site armed escort mission after the opening of "Golden Shield Security". However, He Xi has greater authority. According to his own work arrangements, he can assign some personnel to the "Golden Shield Security" escort team to engage in intelligence collection in other areas outside Guangzhou.
