The Age of Rebirth

Chapter 327 White Lies
Zhao Zong's words were believed by everyone, and everyone went back to their offices. Zhao Zong followed Zhao Changtai into the most powerful place in the bank, the office of the chairman of the board of directors.

The secretary poured a cup of coffee for the two of them, then turned and walked out. When he reached the door, he turned around and closed the door, taking advantage of this moment to glance at Zhao Yan as if nothing had happened.

Zhao Bin's eyes were following Secretary Ye's twisted waist, and he understood her eyes instantly, but he immediately stood in front of Zhao Changtai's desk respectfully.

"Sit down and talk!" The old man sighed. It seems that the board meeting just now cost him a lot of energy.

"Today's stock really has nothing to do with you, or did something leak out?" Zhao Changtai said worriedly.

Ordinarily, the rise of the stock is a great event for the company, which shows that the market is optimistic about the company's development, and it also has a great impact on its own worth. If you are short of money, you can cash out the selling stocks.

The debt ratio of banks is generally maintained at 90% or higher, but the local banks on Hong Kong Island are relatively conservative, and the debt ratio is not so high, generally around 80%.

Changtai Bank, as a relatively well-known local bank, has the characteristics of a local bank. The apparent debt ratio is not high. For a listed company with total assets of nearly 200 billion Hong Kong dollars, the market value is more than 30 billion, and the price-to-book ratio is less than twice. more reasonable valuation.

Zhao Changtai has experienced many financial risks and is extremely sensitive to fluctuations in the securities market. He has witnessed many acquisitions with his own eyes. If there is no logic of rising and the stock rises for no reason, the first thing to consider is whether someone is deliberately playing tricks.

It has to be said that Zhao Changtai Jiang is old and spicy. From an ordinary migrant worker to the chairman of the board of directors of a listed bank worth more than one billion yuan, there is an inevitable logic for his success.

He has more than 30.00% of the shares, but the market share exceeds this figure. If there are a few major shareholders on the board of directors who rebel, his control of Changtai Bank will be lost.

Zhao Bing stroked his half-bald hair and said, "I went to Singapore this time saying it was a negotiation, but in fact it was just a pre-war. People in the board of directors know this well."

"The final substantive negotiation must be personally conducted by you, the chairman of the board of directors and the president. If the memorandum signed in this negotiation is considered positive, it is a bit far-fetched, and the market reaction is too intense."

Zhao Changtai nodded and said, "Since it has nothing to do with you, that's fine. Let someone leak it tonight, and say that your visit to Singapore went very smoothly, and a cooperation agreement has been reached with relevant departments!"

"Prepare another fund and be ready to buy shares at any time. If someone messes up, we can also deal with it. I always feel uneasy!"

Zhao Bin said: "Don't worry, I'll prepare it right away, and hand it over to the newspaper office at night before I get off work, and it will appear on the front page of the financial newspaper tomorrow morning!"

"The preparation of funds is really necessary. Maybe it's just that someone is interested in our high-quality assets and wants to invest?" Zhao Yan asked cautiously.

"Hey, it's always good to be prepared. You should prepare first, sit down, let's talk!" Zhao Changtai sighed and said to Zhao Yan, and motioned him to sit on the opposite chair.

"I'm 75 this year, and you're 48. Think about how fast this time flies. I've been working all my life. After a few days, I want to retire!"

The old man's words made Zhao Bin feel ecstatic. The old man is going to retire. Naturally, he is not retiring from the position of chairman of the board of directors, but from the position of president.

Naturally, only Zhao Bin can take this position. This is also the signal that Zhao Changtai has been sending out all these years. Zhao Bin is his successor, and Zhao Bin has also been the vice president for many years.

"Your younger brother doesn't live up to it. After I retire, I'll give you the position of president!" Zhao Changtai continued. He didn't know if he was really old or felt that his position could no longer be shaken, so he could say such a thing .

The clan atmosphere on Hong Kong Island is even more serious than that in mainland China. Zhao Yan is the eldest son, the natural successor, but now the old man is saying that he was appointed to the position because his younger brothers were too useless.

After Zhao Bin heard this, he almost couldn't even express his position, and felt a chill in his heart.

Seeing the old man looking at him, Zhao Bin quickly adjusted his mentality, with a look of sincerity and fear on his face, and a trace of excitement and a smile of triumph, which made Zhao Changtai see it right.

This expression made Zhao Changtai very satisfied. If people have no shortcomings, how can they control them? Although they are father and son, they are also superiors and subordinates in the business field.

"Father, don't worry, I will definitely do my best to promote the strategic layout of Changtai Bank going global!" Zhao Bin adjusted his mentality and expressed his attitude immediately.

Even though he said that, his heart was a little cold, and Zhao Bin had nothing to be happy about.

As long as Zhao Changtai is the chairman of the board of directors, Zhao Bing's president will be unstable, and with Zhao Xu and the third wife around, Zhao Bing's heart will not be at ease.

It used to be his second brother, Zhao Shi, and after the second wife passed away, he became the current Zhao Xu, unless the third wife was gone someday.

This is similar to the princes in ancient times. Rather than saying that the mother is more expensive than the son, it is better to say that the son is more expensive than the mother. When the mother dies and the stepmother takes the position, the son's status will not be guaranteed.

"Well, go get busy, why haven't you seen Xiaojing these days, let him go back and look at my old bones when he has time!" Zhao Changtai said slowly.

Xiao Jing is Zhao Bin's son and Zhao Changtai's eldest grandson, but he is one year older than Zhao Xu and has a bad temper with Zhao Xu, so he seldom goes to Zhao Changtai's house.

Hearing Zhao Changtai's tone, Zhao Bin could feel that the old man was indeed old, and his heart softened, and said: "He is busy with his master's thesis recently, maybe he is busy, and he will graduate after a while!"

After Zhao Bin went out, he informed the people below to deal with the matter according to Zhao Changtai's wishes, and then left early. He had been away from home for several days, so it was time to go back and have a look.

Li Weidong felt relieved when he saw Liu Jinhui come back at night, and thought about how to persuade her to rest at home for a while, until after dinner, Li Weidong didn't think about Zhe.

After eating, Liu Jinhui suddenly said, "I have an appointment with Dr. Meng, and I'm going to have a prenatal check-up tomorrow!"

Li Weidong turned his mind, and suddenly thought of a way, and said with a smile: "I will go with you!"

There are two kinds of people who speak most effectively in the world. One is primary school teachers, no matter what they say, they can always hear what our teachers say, which is definitely more effective than what parents say; the other is doctors, doctors Whatever you say is right, you have to listen to it. This is called a doctor's order, and it is authoritative.

Li Weidong played with his son for a while and went to the study, found Dr. Meng and called, and then returned to the bedroom satisfied.

Early the next morning, a group of two cars went to the hospital. Even Shen Yueying pouted when she saw the situation, but she couldn't say anything about her son's idea. It must be right for her son to be so good.

Liu Jinhui went in, and Li Weidong was waiting on the sofa at the door. The entire third floor was dedicated to obstetrics and gynecology, but this was the prenatal check-up area for VIP customers. Before the child was born, he began to enjoy the life of the rich. This is a capitalist society.

After a short meeting, Li Weidong saw Liu Jinhui coming out, followed by Doctor Meng. Li Weidong went up to meet him and asked, "How is the situation?"

"Everything is fine, but the recent period is more critical. It is best to rest at home, at least not to work too hard, even if it is something to worry about, you should do less!" Dr. Meng glanced at Li Weidong and said meaningfully.

"Why can't you worry about it anymore, and you're not tired?" Liu Jinhui glanced at Li Weidong and asked in surprise.

"I don't know this, so worry about using your brain. Although your brain is small, it consumes a lot of energy. It is said that the human brain consumes about 35% to 40% of the energy consumed by the human body every day."

"Isn't this a lot of consumption, so don't look at the coolies every day and feel that they are tired, but in fact, they are not as tired as the mental workers. What do you think, Doctor Meng?"

Li Wei hurriedly continued, but this is not his nonsense, but based on research, but this knowledge is relatively remote, and not many people know it.

In the later generations, a lot of cold knowledge about human beings was overwhelming on the Internet, and I didn’t know whether it was true or not. Anyway, it was an unfalsifiable proposition, and no one could say it was false. % or so, a genius like Einstein only used 3%.

"Mr. Li is really knowledgeable and talented. It is really admirable to know these data. Some studies have shown that this is true. There is a difference between a day's physical labor and mental labor."

"You can recover from a day's physical work with a night's rest, but it's more difficult to get a good rest from a day's mental work. Even with a night's sleep, you will be more tired."

"Besides, the early pregnancy is a critical period for the rapid development of the fetus. Don't be careless. You must pay attention to nutrition and rest!" Dr. Meng finally said about the fetus.

"Look, what I said is right, let's listen to the doctor, take a good rest at home these few days, and don't think about those things in the company, let them fight and go after a while!" Li Weidong follow advice.

Liu Jinhui always felt that something was wrong, and there seemed to be something wrong with it, but seeing that Dr. Meng and Li Weidong were very serious, and it was about the child in their stomach, she would rather believe it or not.

"Really, Doctor Meng, didn't you just say that the development is pretty good?" Although Liu Jinhui had made up her mind, she still asked.

"It's good, but we still have to pay attention in the future. It will be fine when the month is older, as long as you pay attention to reasonable rest!" Dr. Meng said with a smile.

With a smile on her face, she felt a lot more helpless in her heart. Last night, she promised Li Weidong to persuade Liu Jinhui to rest more. Originally, this was what she often said.

When patients come to see a doctor, they always say one thing at the end, pay more attention to rest. Maybe if they say too much, it has become a mantra. Anyway, this sentence is definitely like a panacea, and it can never be wrong.

Now it is a bit difficult for her to say it deliberately, it seems to be a bit of a lie, so the tone of her speech is not so firm, but fortunately Liu Jinhui no longer struggles.

As soon as Dr. Meng finished speaking, someone called her, so she said, "Mr. Li, Mrs. Li, I won't send it away. We will contact you for the next checkup. We will also go to your residence at the right time to conduct a check-up." Routine inspection!"

"Okay, Dr. Meng, I'm sorry to trouble you!" Li Weidong said politely, his VIP service has been upgraded to Supreme VIP, and he can come to the door for inspections, take a look at this service.

The two returned to the car under the escort of two bodyguards. Li Weidong and Liu Jinhui sat in the Mercedes-Benz, and the BMW was driven by Miao Yu, just in case.

Just after leaving the gate of the hospital, the phone on the car rang. Ding Yuan glanced at it and said, "It's Secretary Zhang's call!"

Li Weidong picked up the phone by himself. Although his phone number was not very public, everyone who should know would know, but very few people called him, and anyone who knew would contact his secretary in advance.

"What's the matter?" Li Weidong asked in a deep voice.

"Chairman, Mr. Xu wants to see you, and I want to report to you about a certain stock!" Zhang Dongshuo's language was concise. He didn't know what Li Weidong was doing, and he also knew Li Weidong's temper. He had to finish everything in one sentence.

"What about others, let him answer the phone!" Li Weidong understood as soon as he heard it, it must be about the stock of Changtai Bank. This is what he ordered Xu Yandeng to do, and it is normal to report to him.

"Chairman, I'm Xu Yandeng. The stock you mentioned, I studied its information all night yesterday. I need to report some special circumstances to you. In addition, there were reports about them in the financial newspaper this morning!" Xu Yandeng didn't say a word. Pause, and wait for Li Weidong's reply after finishing speaking in one breath.

Liu Jinhui heard clearly from the side. Although she didn't know the specifics, she knew it was a big deal from Xu Yandeng's speech speed and tone, and she wouldn't call Li Weidong for ordinary things.

Who doesn't know now, Li Weidong generally doesn't manage specific things, unless he is interested in this matter, otherwise he will only talk about big things, waiting to see the results.

"If you're busy, go ahead and let Miao Yu take me back!" Liu Jinhui said empathetically.

Of course Li Weidong couldn't agree, how could he be so relaxed at this time, although he didn't see a tail behind him now, but no one could guarantee that there really wasn't one.

Li Weidong waved his hand at Liu Jinhui, and said to the phone: "You are waiting at the company, I will go over later, and we will talk about it then!"

When Xu Yandeng said he had heard it, Li Weidong hung up the phone and put it on his seat and said, "What a big deal it can be. Send you back, and there is still time to go to the company!"

"Besides, the sky and the earth are big, and they are not as big as their wives and children. It doesn't matter about the company!" Li Weidong added.

Liu Jinhui listened to Li Weidong's witty words, leaned against Li Weidong's side, leaned on the back of the seat, breathed out comfortably, and said: "It seems that I am really tired these days, it is time to take a rest, thank you. "

"Thank me for what, besides, our parents-in-law said thank you and see you!" Li Weidong said inexplicably.

"Hmph, you and Dr. Meng have advised me to rest more at home, don't think I can't see it!"

"Hehe, nonsense, how can you call it a partnership? It's called coincidence, or a hero who sees the same thing. Tell me, should you rest more!" Naturally, Li Weidong couldn't admit it, otherwise the nature would change, and so would a white lie. lie.

Liu Jinhui glanced sideways at Li Weidong, said two hehes and stopped talking, with an obvious expression of disbelief, she is not a fool, the two of them were singing a double reed over there!

Li Weidong sent Liu Jinhui home, told her to take a good rest, and drove away without stopping. Liu Jinhui watched the car disappear before going upstairs with frowning.

Yesterday, she felt that the bodyguards were very nervous, but when she asked, they all said nothing, but she could feel that it was different from before, and now Li Weidong persuaded her to stay at home, which was even more wrong.

But Li Weidong didn't tell her because he was afraid that she would be worried, and she couldn't ask too much, and she couldn't help, so it's better to stay at home peacefully, and the best way to help is not to make trouble.

When Li Weidong arrived at the company, he saw Zhang Dongshuo and Xu Yandeng waiting when he got out of the elevator. Li Weidong was not polite, and asked directly: "What's the matter, I have to tell it face to face!"

Xu Yandeng looked around and said: "I feel that Changtai Bank has financial problems, and it may be suspected of illegal loans to steal bank funds for its own use!"
