The Age of Rebirth

Chapter 364 Seize the Minsheng Bank
Li Weidong sketched on the list. His brain is not a computer, nor is it an encyclopedia. He can't remember so many names, but he knows that the name of this bubble is the Internet.

As long as companies connected to the Internet can raise an unimaginable amount of funds, that's enough.

"Tomorrow morning, you will go to the airport to meet them on my behalf, let them go home and have a rest, and get rid of the jet lag. The morning after tomorrow, I will listen to them talk about the United States!"

Li Weidong wanted to go to the airport to pick them up by himself, but felt that the standard was a bit high, which was not good for Jiang Zhili and Fu Xiaomin. If they were too high, they would easily lose control of themselves.

Zhang Dongshuo is more suitable. He is responsible for the general management of the head office. The most important thing is that he is Li Weidong's secretary, and he can sometimes represent Li Weidong outside.

"Okay, chairman, I'll call to check the flight later, and I'll meet them on time!" Zhang Dongshuo was a little surprised, Li Weidong didn't say that he was going, but went on behalf of Li Weidong.

Although he went there, but the meaning is different, representing Li Weidong there is an essential difference.

"Well, let's also inform Mr. Zheng, Mr. Zou, Mr. Xu, and Mr. Li to come and listen, learn, and understand how they play. We can't work behind closed doors!"

"I'll go and notify them right now!" Seeing that Li Weidong didn't give any orders, Zhang Dongshuo walked out of the office gently.

After a short meeting, Zhang Dongshuo walked in again, "Chairman, President Li said that he needs to report to you about the domestic bank!"

"Let him come up!" After Li Weidong heard about the bank, he looked up at Zhang Dongshuo, and after saying something, he continued to look at the lists. There was gold hidden in them.

When Li Shihui walked in, Li Weidong was still watching. After hearing the movement, he raised his head and said, "Sit down and drink tea!"

Li Weidong sighed and stood up. He gave up his efforts to continue to be on these lists. Most of them he had never heard of. After all, not many of these companies can survive.

But he can't complain any more. Other people's venture capital investment is real venture capital investment, but his venture capital investment is picking up golden eggs, and he is sure that every investment is accurate, so how dare he complain.

"Sit down and drink tea, how about trying this Pu'er!" Li Weidong went to sit down opposite Li Shihui, and said to Li Shihui who was still standing.

"Thank you, um, it's elegant and mellow, with a long aftertaste. It really has the effect of calming the mind and concentrating the mind. Good tea should be worth the price. The one hundred thousand flowers are not wronged, it's really worth it!"

This is an old Pu'er, specially found for someone to collect it, and the price is very expensive, one kilogram costs [-]. Although it can't compare with the ones of the later generations that cost over a million, it is considered a sky-high price!

"Drink tea as long as you drink tea. It's not so mysterious. Just quench your thirst. Everything else is nonsense!" Li Weidong said happily, listening to others' flattery is really a realm.

Let Liu Jinhui drink the same tea, and after hearing the price, the evaluation is just two words, "Prodigal!"

"That's different. I used to like to drink coffee when I was young. Sometimes I could drink more than a dozen cups a day after working overtime and staying up late. Only after drinking tea did I realize the benefits of tea!"

"Coffee stimulates people's energy to work, and tea calms people down from the heart, allowing them to calm down and think about problems and solve problems. This is the essence of the tea ceremony!"

"I like to drink, I'll ask Secretary Zhang to bring you some later!" Regardless of whether it's true or not, Li Weidong is very happy.

"No, no, it's a blessing to have a drink with you once in a while. You can't be greedy, or you will lose the original intention of drinking tea!"

"Haha, you, you, you are welcome to come up for tea anytime!"

"Then thank you, chairman!" Li Shihui said slightly flattered.

Then he cleared his throat and said, "Chairman, I just received a call that the People's Bank of China is cautious about our establishment of branches in the Mainland!"

Li Weidong frowned when he heard this. This was an idea he raised in the capital, and he didn't say no at the time, and of course he didn't say yes, "What's going on, what's the reason they gave?"

"They said that the total assets did not reach the required amount, and suggested that we cooperate with mainland banks, or jointly fund and build a new bank with mainland enterprises!"

"What is the total asset requirement for building a branch in the Mainland?" Li Weidong asked with some doubts.

He really didn't know there would be such a requirement, and in his opinion, a bank with a total asset of 300 billion yuan in the Mainland is not considered a small bank these days!

After Li Shihui acquired Changtai Bank, he has been cleaning up the mess non-stop. Although the final net assets are less than before, the risk factors have been cleaned up.

Moreover, after a series of operations, and with the blessing of Ruibosi Holdings, the bank not only brought back some depositors, but also added many new customers, which can be regarded as the name of the bank.

And now the total assets have exceeded [-] billion. According to this momentum, sooner or later, it will become the leader of the local banks on Hong Kong Island. It is not a dream to surpass the second echelon of international banks.

"The total assets at the end of last year were not less than [-] billion US dollars!" Li Shihui said carefully.

After hearing this, Li Weidong lamented that he was really ignorant and fearless, thinking that he could open a bank with two dollars, which was more difficult than opening a bank in China.

With a total asset of [-] billion US dollars, what kind of bank do you want to open? Of course, the total assets of the bank are too empty. If you want to play tricks, use a few companies to make a few rounds, and the total assets will go up!
"Then follow their wishes and build a new bank. Which one of the current banks in the mainland is not state-owned, cooperation is difficult, and there are too many constraints!"

"If a new bank is to be established, other domestic enterprises will be needed to participate, but I don't know enough about mainland enterprises, so you need to come forward!" Li Shihui said again

"Let Zheng Sijing come forward. Since we are cooperating, let's get a few more shareholders, and then go find Lao Xia!"

Li Weidong thought, since people gave this face and raised their opinions, it would be better to make it bigger and get a few more companies into it. Only him holding shares and participating in shares seems petty.

"Okay, I'll go to Mr. Zheng and Mr. Xia for help. With the two of them here, this matter will be easy to handle. There is another thing that a leader mentioned to me in private..."

"What kind of expression is this on your face? Tell me if you have something to do!" Li Weidong asked, looking at Li Shihui's constipated expression.

"It's the name of our bank. He said privately that this name won't pass the inspection in China. It's better to ask us to change the name and submit the materials!"

The name was given by Li Weidong, and Li Shihui also thought it was very domineering at the time, but when he handed in the materials, he almost had an accident. If it hadn't been agreed in advance, the materials probably wouldn't have been handed in.

"It was my negligence. It's my fault, my fault!" Li Weidong patted his forehead and said in frustration.

As a Chinese, I have forgotten some taboos in China. Although the name is nice and domineering, but people have already used it, so it is wrong for him to use it again. It is taboo for His Holiness!

"Then change the name to Minsheng Bank, Minsheng Bank!" Li Weidong suddenly remembered the name, and the bad taste immediately came.

This was supposed to be the first private bank in the mainland. It was proposed by the Federation of Industry and Commerce. The shareholders are all private enterprises, but there is no shadow yet, so Li Weidong took the name.

Besides, it wasn't for nothing, he was also a member of the Federation of Industry and Commerce, although he had just been elected in a by-election, and the by-election was held in his absence, but he was officially recognized.

"Minsheng Bank, the name is good. People's livelihood is very humanistic and caring. I can't catch up with the chairman of the board. I will do it now!"

Li Shihui's expression at this time is exactly the same as when Li Weidong said that he changed his name to Wanli Bank in Qizhou.

"I don't worry about your work!" Li Weidong happily patted Li Shihui on the shoulder and sent him out of the office.

Seeing Li Shihui disappear around the corner with three steps and three turns, Li Weidong returned to the office, sighing in his heart that these executives could no longer simply use money to motivate them.

The second day after Jiang Zhili and Fu Xiaomin came back was Saturday. Li Weidong made a miscalculation. He didn't realize that it was the weekend when he said it, but the words had already been said, so we could only wrong them to work overtime together.

The company's high-level meeting room was next to Li Weidong's office, and several people were already seated at this time. The protagonists of this meeting, Jiang Zhili and Fu Xiaomin, were also ready, just waiting for Li Weidong.

Zhang Dongshuo pushed the door, and Li Weidong walked in. The moment the door opened, everyone in the room stood up, probably because the occasion was too formal, making everyone very serious.

"Everyone sits, everyone sits, I apologize in advance, everyone has to work overtime on weekends, not for nothing, today's overtime pay will be doubled!" Li Weidong smiled and let everyone sit down.

Several people laughed, no one would take it seriously, their high salaries already included overtime pay.

If a person's salary is lower than the average salary, he is an uncle, because he can find a similar salary at any time, so he is not afraid of any boss.

If the salary is about the same as the average, then I will endure the nagging of the department leader a little bit. It is not easy to find a high-paying job, so it is better to lie flat in a familiar environment.

If it is higher than the average salary, the leader should be taken seriously. If it is several times or ten times higher than the average salary, the leader should not be taken seriously. You have to rest assured.

How many people are seated, the meeting room is not big, but there are not many people who can hold a meeting in this meeting room, there are eight people at full dozen, and Zhang Dongshuo is the pourer.

Zheng Sijing and Zou Yi sat on both sides of Li Weidong. This is their position, and it has nothing to do with the amount of funds in their hands. They are just the people who manage the money, not the owners of the money.

Just like in the system, a coastal county may have more GDP than a province in the northwest, but the level is there, and you can't keep up with it.

The deeper meaning is that these are all Li Weidong's, not to say how good you are, but that you are better than Li Weidong let you take care of this mess.

"It's hard for you two to make a trip. Originally, I planned to go to San Francisco, but the timing was wrong, so I had to let you two come back!" Li Weidong said very politely.

He wants to put the plan of this big event on the two of them, and he needs to be given some respect.

"Sure, we wanted to find an opportunity to report the recent work situation to the chairman!" Jiang Zhili and Fu Xiaomin hurriedly stood up and said.

"Sit down and talk, sit down and talk, take your time, since everyone has come to work overtime, don't think about ending it right away, let's chat and chat, la la homely!"

"If I knew it was a family thing, we should go to the chairman's luxury yacht, drink red wine and talk about the family life, how interesting it is!" Zou Yi said with a smile in order to relax the two subordinates.

"Mr. Zou's proposal is very nasty, and I agree with both hands!" Zheng Sijing also echoed with a smile.

"It's simple, Secretary Zhang reminds me before the next meeting, let's hold an international meeting on the open sea!"

The atmosphere eased, and the report of the two officially started. There is no PPT in this year, but there is a projector, but it is a reflective device composed of glass plates.

"After our investigation, the current venture capital investment in Silicon Valley will not exceed [-] billion, and the investment in the Internet industry will not exceed [-] billion!"

"As far as the current situation is concerned, the current Internet companies generally have no profit points, and most of them are losing money. On the contrary, some high-tech equipment manufacturers are making considerable profits!"

“Stocks of companies like Microsoft, Intel, and Cisco are popular, and even the stocks of companies that are not doing well like Apple are hot!”

"However, after the guidance of the chairman, we have conducted more investigations on the Internet. According to our analysis, it is very likely that there will be an Internet wave within three to five years!"

"And when the Internet came, the first thing to benefit besides the personal computer was software, and among these software, the browser is undoubtedly a hot topic!"

Fu Xiaomin's crisp and sweet voice fell in the meeting room, giving every audience an immersive feeling. This is the advantage of lesbians.

Li Weidong took the lead in applauding, and the crowd followed suit. Xu Yandeng's eyes lit up. If this wave really came, he would definitely join in.

"Your investigation is very detailed, but isn't the one billion you mentioned too conservative? Is it so small?"

Li Weidong has doubts about this data. If it is only one billion, it will definitely not blow up the entire Internet bubble.

"This data is calculated by a professional survey agency. In order to improve the accuracy, we asked several agencies to investigate. The accuracy should be trustworthy!" Jiang Zhili said.

"That's good, this Mosaic, can it be translated into mosaic?" Li Weidong pointed to the name and asked Zou Yi next to him, he had to confirm.

"If it is translated according to the transliteration, it is indeed translated like this!" Zou Yi glanced at it and said with a smile.

A lot of Chinese characters were densely written on this piece of paper, and Zou Yi understood what was going on after reading it. This was a word that Li Weidong didn't know, and she was convinced of Li Weidong's English proficiency.

"Chairman, this is the original name of the company. Some time ago, Mr. Fu found out that this name may involve trademark copyright issues. We had a special communication with them on this issue before we set off."

"In order to reduce unnecessary troubles, we suggested that they change the name, and they also accepted this suggestion. They plan to change the name to Netscape, which should be translated as Netscape!"

"After we invested, they recruited a lot of people and greatly improved the work progress. Around the end of this month or early September, their beta version will be available for testing!"

"I have tried the original version, and the effect is very good. I think this is an epoch-making product!" Jiang Zhili knew which company it was after hearing Li Weidong's words, so he highly praised this company.

When Li Weidong heard the word Netscape, he laughed. He can fully confirm that he has also heard of the name Mosaic, but he doesn't know what it is for!

As long as the company he has heard of, no matter what happens in the future, at least it means that they must have been great in history and must be meaningful.

Investment has to invest in such, two words, reliable!
Li Weidong didn't know whether these famous companies had already been established, and he couldn't let Jiang Zhili and Fu Xiaomin find these companies.

It’s okay if I found it, but it’s okay if I can’t find it. I’m afraid that the name of this company will appear again in two years. How should I explain it?

"Well, it sounds good, so I'll vote for them, but isn't this money a little less, and I will add more to let them speed up the research and development and launch the official version as soon as possible!"

"Well, there are a few more, and their names sound good. Give me additional investment. If you are more courageous, you can't sleep in the bank with so much money!" Li Weidong said, drawing a few more companies with familiar names.

"In the future, I will summarize the profiles of the companies I invest in and the companies that I have surveyed and found to be good, and give me a copy every month. It is best to translate it into Chinese for me!"

"By the way, Mr. Xu, the Nasdaq in the United States is a paradise for technology stocks. You guys who are engaged in the secondary market can also engage in it. Don't keep staring at this place under your nose!"

"I think this index is still very interesting. It will take three to five years. If you have money, you can try it yourself. If you make a fortune, you don't have to be angry with me!"

Li Weidong showed them a way to get rich, and it depends on whether they can keep up.
