Gold Investor

Chapter 143 Capital Feast (5)
"It's easy to talk between us, is it easy to talk between you and Wang Cheng?" Su Hao said, "Knowing that Xinglan's financial strength is limited, I thought of the way of mutual shareholding. But the plan can't keep up with the changes, who knows that you and Wang Cheng are breaking up Yes. Haifeng Bank’s investment in Xinglan will lead to a change in the shareholding structure, will Wang Cheng agree? You just put him together, and they won’t take the opportunity to cause you some trouble?”

Fang Yubin thought for a while, and said: "Wang Cheng and I are not arguing, at most it is a knot. Investing in Haifeng Bank is a good thing for the development of Xinglan. Wang Cheng is a man of measure, and he does not Will be angry with Qian."

"I hope so." Su Hao said.

Fang Yubin said: "I will go to the United States every few days, and I will stay for about half a month. After returning to China, I will go to Binhai to find Wang Cheng and talk to him face to face."

"What are you going to America for?" Su Hao asked.

Fang Yubin said: "Working in China is stressful, and I want to go to the United States to take a break."

"I advise you to cancel your trip to the United States." Su Hao said, "The military situation here is urgent, why are you resting? Hurry up and find Wang Cheng in Binhai to finalize this matter, and then come to Xihai. Next week, Rongding's Fei Yun Peng will come to Xihai, and it would be best if you were there to have a face-to-face meeting with Fei Yunpeng and Song Changhai, chairman of Haifeng Bank."

"Does it have to be so urgent?" Fang Yubin was unwilling to cancel the trip to the United States.

"It's that urgent." Su Hao said, "Only when the new investors are confirmed, Haifeng Bank's next listing plan can be pushed forward."

Fang Yubin shook his head with a wry smile: "Okay, I will delay my trip to the United States for a while."

5 When a gentleman breaks up with him, he will not make a bad sound; when a loyal minister leaves the country, his name will be unclean.

At the terminal of the Capital Airport, Wu Juntong didn't show any kindness to the deputy general manager of Qiancheng Group Beijing Branch who came to pick him up.He scolded: "What kind of ticket did you book? The plane was fully delayed by two hours."

"You are right in your criticism. It is our ineffectiveness." The deputy general manager hurriedly apologized, but complained in his heart, what does it matter to us if the flight is delayed?This Wu Juntong is really difficult to serve, and his airs are bigger than Wang Cheng.When Wang Cheng came to Beijing, at most he asked the company to send a car.Fortunately, Wu Juntong, if he didn't come to pick up the plane with someone at the vice president level, he would think it was deliberate neglect.

"Forget it, what's the use of talking about it now? Hurry up and go to Rongding's headquarters immediately." Wu Juntong strode forward with his hands behind his back.The vice president took Wu Juntong's luggage and followed closely behind.

In the evening rush hour, the airport expressway was congested in a mess.Sitting in the car, Wu Juntong kept raising his wrist to look at his watch, with an anxious look on his face.At this time, his cell phone rang.Seeing that it was Fei Yunpeng calling, Wu Juntong quickly picked it up and put on a smiling face: "Mr. Fei, I'm sorry! The flight is late and kept you waiting."

Fei Yunpeng asked: "Where are you now?"

Wu Juntong said: "Still on the airport expressway, we will arrive at Sanyuan Bridge soon."

"I haven't got off the expressway yet. I have been waiting in the office for more than an hour." Fei Yunpeng said.

"I'm sorry to keep you waiting. The flight was late and there was a traffic jam, so I was in a hurry." Wu Juntong said. "Well," Fei Yunpeng said, "you don't have to come to my office, just go directly to the Diaoyutai State Guesthouse, where I will invite people to dinner tonight."

Wu Juntong nodded quickly: "Okay, okay." Putting down the phone, Wu Juntong couldn't help criticizing the vice president again.From Rongding to Qiancheng, Wu Juntong has been on the saddle for many years, and he has long regarded himself as Fei Yunpeng's retainer.Since you are a retainer, how can you keep your master waiting for so long?
Wu Juntong finally arrived at Diaoyutai. He hurried into the private room and saw Fei Yunpeng talking and laughing happily with several subordinates.Wu Juntong apologized again, but Fei Yunpeng waved his hand: "It's okay, I'm not waiting for you this afternoon, we can still talk after dinner."

Wu Juntong knew that Fei Yunpeng had a special liking for the environment and dishes of Diaoyutai, and he often came here for banquets, so he asked, "Who are you inviting tonight?"

Fei Yunpeng took a sip of tea and said, "Speaking of which, you also know this person, Huang Wencan."

"It's Huang Wencan from Donghua Asset Management Company, Mr. Huang?" Wu Juntong asked.

Fei Yunpeng nodded: "Yes, it's him. You call him and ask him where he is. We, a large group of people, have been waiting for almost half an hour."

Wu Juntong quickly made a phone call, and then said to Fei Yunpeng: "Old Master Huang said that he has already left the Baiduizi subway station, and it took about ten minutes to walk here."

Fei Yunpeng laughed: "I treated guests in such a luxurious hotel, but he came by subway."

Wu Juntong shook his head and said, "Old Master Huang just likes to pretend." After a pause, he asked again, "What's the matter with you inviting him today?"

Fei Yunpeng said: "It is not only entrusted by others, but also for the benefit of others. You will know later."

About 10 minutes later, Huang Wencan walked in.This person was in his early fifties, tall, with gray hair and wearing a pair of black-rimmed glasses.He took off his gray down jacket and a red scarf, revealing a crisply pressed white shirt.After hanging the coat and scarf on the hanger, Huang Wencan turned around and shook hands with Fei Yunpeng and others, his every move seemed gentle.

While shaking hands, Wu Juntong said, "Old Huang, you are also the vice president of a large financial state-owned enterprise, why are you running to squeeze the subway?"

Huang Wencan shook his head and said with a smile: "The company allocated a car for me, but it was for work. I drive a private car to and from get off work. Today, I have to catch up with the upper limit, so I can only take the subway."

Wu Juntong asked again: "Have you updated your private car, or is it the Corolla?"

Huang Wencan said: "That car drives well, why change it?"

Fei Yunpeng took over the conversation: "Don't talk about changing cars, just talk about Lao Huang's outfit. I haven't seen him change in so many years. He wears a black suit at work, and when he leaves the office, he wears a down jacket. By the way, There is also a scarf around the neck that the lady wove by herself."

Wu Juntong laughed: "With this attire, no wonder everyone calls you Mr. Huang."

Huang Wencan took his seat: "There is nothing wrong with me, old master. I was born as a teacher. I will retire in a few years, and I want to go back to university to teach. If I really want to be a professor, my salary may be higher than it is now."

"Are you kidding me?" Wu Juntong said, "A vice president of a financial state-owned enterprise can't keep up with a university professor's salary?"

Huang Wencan said: "I am different from you. Rhodium is a joint-stock company after all. It has shares in state-owned enterprises, foreign companies and private enterprises. It has always operated according to the market, and the salaries of executives are more in line with the market. Donghua Asset Management Co., Ltd. It is a well-established state-owned enterprise, and it is very well-managed. Everyone knows the situation in the past few years. State-owned enterprises like ours have limited the salary of executives. Now my income is really not as good as those university professors .”

Fei Yunpeng had a half-smile on his face, and said: "Having dinner with a model of clean government like you, we are under pressure, and we can learn and improve."

The waiter began to serve the dishes, Fei Yunpeng picked up the wine glass, said a toast, and then drank it all in one gulp.The others drank the wine in their glasses, only Huang Wencan took a sip of the juice.Fei Yunpeng did not persuade him to drink. He knew that Huang Wencan had diabetes and had never drank alcohol for many years.

Putting down his wine glass, Fei Yunpeng asked, "Old Huang, are you busy with work recently?"

Huang Wencan said: "It's not that you don't know that I am at the bottom of all the vice presidents, so I just take care of some chores. There are many things to do every day, but they are all busy."

"After so many years, why are you still the vice president at the bottom?" Fei Yunpeng asked.

"Feng Tangyi is old, Li Guang is hard to seal. What can I do?" Huang Wencan shook his head and sighed, "I am like this, and I have nothing to do in my career. Let's pass a lot of things, as long as you keep your bottom line. It's the same sentence, the same class Don’t be dirty, don’t go with the flow.”

Huang Wencan added: "However, as for the vice president at the bottom of the ranking, I have to thank you, Fei. When I was kicked out of the West Sea, I was exiled in the capital. If it weren't for your generous help, even this vice president would not be able to get it."

Fei Yunpeng waved his hand and said, "It's all about Chen Guzi's rotten sesame seeds, you haven't forgotten it yet."

"Don't dare to forget. The kindness of a drop of water should be repaid by the spring." Huang Wencan said, "By the way, is your father-in-law in good health? He is entangled in mundane affairs, and he hasn't visited the old man for some days."

"It's okay." Fei Yunpeng said, "He often mentions you too."

Outsiders did not know about the past that Fei Yunpeng and Huang Wencan talked about.Huang Wencan is a native of Xihai City. He became a professor at the Provincial University of Finance and Economics at a young age.Back then, in order to establish the Xihai City Commercial Savings Bank, the city leaders visited the thatched cottage three times and went to the provincial capital to invite Huang Wencan, hoping that he would devote himself to the economic construction of his hometown.

Huang Wencan returned to Xihai and participated in the establishment of Xihai City Commercial Savings Bank. He is an out-and-out entrepreneurial veteran.Later, the bank developed gratifyingly and became a well-known regional joint-stock commercial bank in the industry, and changed its name to Haifeng Bank.Huang Wencan became the first president of Haifeng Bank, and was once expected to aspire to the top position as the chairman of Haifeng Bank.

But later, Song Changhai, who came by airborne, became the chairman, and Huang Wencan could only be subordinated to others.Unlike Huang Wencan, who came from an academic school and has a professional background, Song Changhai comes from the civil service system.Song Changhai is a technical secondary school student in a technical school. He worked as a lathe worker in a factory and later entered the government. He started as an ordinary clerk and became the director of the Finance Bureau of Xihai City.More than ten years ago, Song Changhai left the Finance Bureau and came to Haifeng Bank.

The cooperation between Song Changhai and Huang Wencan was not pleasant, and the two soon broke out in fighting.In the end, Huang Wencan was expelled from Haifeng Bank.At that time, Huang Wencan, who was in a gloomy mood, came to Beijing to wander, and got acquainted with Fei Yunpeng by chance.Fei Yunpeng not only donated generously to support Huang Wencan who was in despair, but also often took him to various dinners and made friends with dignitaries in the capital.Fei Yunpeng's father-in-law also favored Huang Wencan very much. Under the strong recommendation of the old man, Huang Wencan joined Donghua Asset Management Company, became the department director, and was promoted to the deputy general manager a few years later.However, in recent years, Huang Wencan has stayed put and has not made progress in the position of vice president.Huang Wencan knew that he was not young, and it would be difficult to climb higher in the future, so he turned his interests to calligraphy and seal cutting, as well as flowers, birds, and insects. He often said to the outside world that he could not afford extravagant hobbies, writing and writing at home, and raising a few potted flowers was fine.

Huang Wencan pays great attention to health preservation. After picking a few bites of vegetables, he stopped using his chopsticks.He picked up the juice in front of him, shook it, and said, "Old Fei, what's going on today, you want to treat me to dinner?"

Fei Yunpeng chewed the vegetables and said, "I've been friends for more than ten years. If we have time to get together, do we have to do something?"

Huang Wencan sipped his juice and said, "Because we are old friends, this meal is even more strange. What is the relationship between us, we need to rely on eating to bond? If you have anything to do, just say it."

Fei Yunpeng smiled and said, "I can't hide everything from you." Fei Yunpeng put down his chopsticks and said, "There is one thing to talk about. Recently, I went to your hometown several times and planned to invest in a project there."

"Have you gone to Xihai?" Huang Wencan asked, "You are in big business, what project do you plan to invest in?"

Fei Yunpeng said: "SITC Bank is about to go public, and Rhodium Capital is optimistic about its development prospects, and intends to make equity investment and become a strategic investor. The two parties have signed a cooperation agreement, and Rhodium's funds have also been transferred."

Huang Wencan's face darkened when Haifeng Bank was mentioned.Immediately, he returned to normal and said, "This is not an investment plan, but has already been invested."

Fei Yunpeng said: "You are the entrepreneurial veteran of Haifeng Bank. You have been the president and partnered with Song Changhai. How do you evaluate my decision?"

Huang Wencan picked up a hot towel, wiped his hands, and said, "You have all signed the contract, so does it matter how I evaluate it? Isn't this just an afterthought?"

Fei Yunpeng raised his head slightly, his tone was gentle but showing a sense of momentum: "Even if it's an afterthought, you might as well hit it."

Huang Wencan sneered, and said, "I really can't be an afterthought. I have a principle that I don't comment on the units and colleagues I have worked for, neither the good nor the bad." After a pause, he slowly Saying a word, the tone is calm but full of strength: "A gentleman will not make any bad noises; a loyal minister will not clean his name when he goes to the country."

"Old Master Huang is worthy of being a professor, and his citations are appropriate." Fei Yunpeng clapped his hands and laughed, "These sixteen words should come from "Warring States Policy". He made great efforts to govern, built a golden platform to seek talents from all over the world, and finally attracted heroes such as Le Yi, the famous general of Wei State. Le Yi led the Yan army to successive battles and conquered more than [-] cities in Qi State, which shocked for a while."

"However," Fei Yunpeng said again, "the good talk of the monarch and his ministers will not last long. After the death of King Yan Zhao, King Yan Hui came to the throne. Le Yi's military power, Le Yi was afraid of being killed, so he fled to Zhao State. Later, when Qi State defeated the Yan army, King Yan Hui became angry and wanted to arrest Le Yi who had fled and punish him. Le Yi wrote to King Yan Hui A letter said, "A gentleman will not speak ill when he breaks up with the country; a loyal minister will not clean his name when he leaves the country." It means that if a gentleman breaks up with someone, he will not speak ill of the other party; Explain your noble name."

Huang Wencan nodded and said, "You are a well-educated person, and your explanation is not bad at all."

Fei Yunpeng said: "These sixteen words are so well spoken, they are enough to warn the world. It is admirable to have such a heart. But, is your heart consistent?"

Huang Wencan's face changed abruptly, and he said, "What do you mean?"

Fei Yunpeng waved his hand, signaling his subordinates to go out.Everyone got up and left knowingly, but Fei Yunpeng called Wu Juntong alone: ​​"You and Lao Huang are also old friends, so there is no need to avoid them."

Wu Juntong was flattered to be able to stay.I only heard Fei Yunpeng say: "Old Huang, we don't need to go around in circles when we talk. I heard that you not only made bad noises everywhere, but also scattered complaint letters like snowflakes."

Huang Wencan stared at Fei Yunpeng and said, "Song Changhai told you all these?"

Fei Yunpeng nodded and said, "We are old friends, but Chairman Song and I have also become new friends."

Huang Wencan shook his head and sneered: "When you have new friends, forget about old ones."

"No. I want to help new friends, but I also want to help old friends." Fei Yunpeng waved his hand and said, "How many years have passed, what can't be untied, why bother to trouble yourself? Go everywhere to sue , what good does it do to others or to oneself?"

Huang Wencan said: "Look at this, are you here as a lobbyist for Song Changhai?"

Fei Yunpeng chuckled: "It's not wrong for you to understand this way. But the key point is, do I make sense?"

"It doesn't make sense." Huang Wencan's face was full of anger, and he tapped his fingers on the dining table, "I have no personal grievances with Song Changhai, but a matter of principle. As an old man of Haifeng Bank, I can't watch him wantonly embezzle bank assets Filling your pockets and doing nothing."

Fei Yunpeng smiled wryly and shook his head: "Look at you, you are always being labeled. I admit that you are capable and capable, and have made great contributions to Haifeng Bank. But Song Changhai is also a rare talent! After you left, under the leadership of Song Changhai, Haifeng Bank grew rapidly and its business scope spread all over the country. To be honest, I didn’t find any evidence that he embezzled the bank’s assets, but saw that he doubled the bank’s assets several times.”

Huang Wencan immediately retorted: "Ten years have passed, which bank in China has not doubled its assets several times? , He actually paid himself nearly ten million annual salary. In addition, the bank also has tens of millions of special funds for the chairman of the board every year for him to eat, drink, play, and travel. He is very old and married a ballerina who is 20 years younger than himself. An actor, and bought her a villa and a Mercedes-Benz. Where did he get the money?"
