Chapter 146 Seeing Lie Xinxi (2)
As for who the father-in-law in the allusion is, some say it is Su Shi, some say it is his political enemy Wang Anshi, and some say it is someone else, but no one can figure it out anyway.This is Su Hao's so-called splashing dirty water.In his opinion, literati look down on each other, and even arrange jokes for each other, and vividly say things that don't exist at all.

Fang Yubin interrupted and said: "It is inevitable that literati dislike each other, especially in the Northern Song Dynasty, when the country was peaceful for a long time, it is not surprising that literati made up a joke, sarcasm. In the Southern Song Dynasty, the mountains and rivers were broken, and the literati did not have such leisurely feelings. Yes, their works are full of impassioned family and country feelings."

Fei Yunpeng took a sip of red wine and said, "I really like the poets in the Northern Song Dynasty. They can sarcasm each other, and others can enjoy it. Those patriotic poets in the Southern Song Dynasty who seem to be righteous may not be as good as the Northern Song Dynasty."

During the Southern Song Dynasty, the imperial court was in the south of the Yangtze River, facing the iron hooves of the powerful enemies in the north, those poems with strong ambitions and longing for the northern expedition to the Central Plains and the restoration of the homeland can be regarded as a peak in the history of Chinese literature.Why did Fei Yunpeng disdain this?
Su Hao was puzzled and said, "Why do you think so?"

Fei Yunpeng is also a man of elegance, and he talked about humanistic allusions with great interest: "If it is said that in Yue Fei's era, the Northern Expedition to the Central Plains was still possible, after Yue Fei's death, especially the rise of Mongolia, the restoration of the motherland can only be a dream. Hengdao The Prancing Horse Mongols swept away half of the world, such as Jin, Xixia, Khwarazm, and so many powerful countries in Europe were all beaten to pieces, and the weak Southern Song Dynasty can keep half of the country. It’s not bad, isn’t the Northern Expedition just hitting a stone with an egg!”

Fei Yunpeng went on to say: "The Northern Expedition is not just empty words, but to fight against the brave Jurchens and Mongols. It is not like writing articles and talking empty words. It is not enough to just 'dream back to blowing the horns', it is real." Fight on the ground with guns."

Regarding Fei Yunpeng's point of view, Su Hao was noncommittal, and only praised him for quoting from others.At this time, Song Changhai, who hadn't spoken for a long time, said: "I can hear from Lao Fei's words that empty talk is detrimental to the country. It is not enough to be practical, but also to be pragmatic. Regarding the next step of Haifeng Bank, I have a plan."

Fei Yunpeng turned his head and said with a smile: "Didn't you just say that you talk about business at get off work and enjoy life after work?"

"I'm right." Song Changhai said, "But what I want to say now is closely related to life. Before Haifeng Bank goes public, I plan to launch an employee stock ownership plan. The dividends of the bank's development must be shared by the majority of employees. .Employees can enjoy life when they have money.”

Song Changhai added: "As for the employee stock ownership plan, I reported it to the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of Xihai City, and they expressed their support. Now Rongding is the major shareholder of Haifeng, and I want to hear your opinion."

"My attitude is very clear: object." Fei Yunpeng said categorically, "There are so many things to do before IPO, and it would take a lot of time and energy to toss about employee stock ownership. It’s not an extra problem. Besides, how to achieve employee stock ownership is not by increasing capital and expanding shares. In this way, the equity of the original shareholders will be diluted. Farmers know how to kill pigs, let’s fatten them first. I just became Haifeng Shareholders of the bank, your ass is not hot yet, you want to cut off my flesh, can you bear it?"

"Rongding is a big fat pig with thick body fat. Why can't I bear to cut your meat?" Song Changhai said with a smile, "In the banking industry, employee stock ownership is the general trend, and many listed banks have launched Employee shareholding plan. I thought, since it will be done sooner or later, it is better to take advantage of the opportunity before listing. The development of Haifeng is inseparable from the contribution of every employee. Letting employees hold shares is not only a kind of feedback, It can stimulate everyone’s enthusiasm.”

Fei Yunpeng is easy to talk about humanistic allusions, and he is even more aggressive when talking about business: "As far as I know, your executives hold close to 10% of the bank's shares, which is enough. Why are you still not satisfied? Is there a chance to get another big vote?"

"You have misunderstood this." Song Changhai said, "The management has been doing it a few years ago. To avoid suspicion, I don't plan to increase the stake this time. The management can make a promise that they will never use this opportunity to increase their holdings. I’m talking about employee stock ownership! This time, it’s mainly aimed at old employees in ordinary positions. They have worked hard for many years and their wages are not high. To be honest, the company owes them a debt.”

Fei Yunpeng snorted: "What a chairman who works for the well-being of employees, I'm about to send you a pennant and set up a memorial archway. We are all sensible people, so we might as well open up the skylight and speak honestly. Is there still room for employee stock ownership? One purpose—to further disperse the shareholding structure? The more shareholders there are, the more dispersed the shareholding structure will be. When any shareholder has no absolute control over SITC, the bank can be completely controlled by your management.”

Song Changhai said: "You open the skylight to speak brightly, and I will not beat around the bush. The reason you mentioned is not ruled out, but it is by no means the main reason. The most important thing in promoting employee stock ownership is to let employees share the development bonus and mobilize their enthusiasm. .”

Fei Yunpeng turned his attention to Fang Yubin and said, "Don't talk about me as a major shareholder, just ask Yubin, who is about to become a minority shareholder, what he thinks."

Fei Yunpeng threw the problem over, Fang Yubin complained secretly.From the heart, he certainly does not want to launch an employee stock ownership plan at this time.Capital increase and share expansion damage the rights and interests of all original shareholders.The same is cut meat, nothing more than Fei Yunpeng weighing the weight, and he himself is talking about the two.However, being able to participate in the investment in Haifeng Bank was originally a free ride.Since you are hitchhiking, you can no longer be picky about the box lunch in the car.

Fang Yubin said ambiguously: "What you say makes sense. The implementation of employee shareholding at this time will inevitably cause extra complications and delay the listing process. Besides, the shareholding structure of Haifeng Bank is already dispersed enough. Further capital increase and share expansion may lead to many problems. New problems. However, the mobilization of employees’ enthusiasm that Mr. Song said cannot be ignored. In the long run, letting employees hold shares is of course beneficial to the development of the bank.”

"Fang Yubin is playing tricks." Fei Yunpeng said bluntly, "I am the chairman of Rongding, and I must be responsible for every penny of Rongding. I can't turn a blind eye to the employee stock ownership plan at this time. If it doesn't work, just It is up to all shareholders to convene a board meeting or even a general meeting of shareholders.”

"What's the big deal, you still have to go to the meeting to make trouble?" Song Changhai said.

"This is really not a trivial matter." Fei Yunpeng said.

Song Changhai said: "I have worked in the government for many years and I believe in democratic centralism. There must be democracy and centralization. Board meetings can be held, but before the meeting, it is best for several major shareholders to reach a consensus. Communicate slowly. Anyway, Lao Fei will stay for a few more days on this trip, and we have plenty of time."

Song Changhai raised his glass again: "The matter will be discussed tomorrow, and we have to drink now."

3 Where the enemy is stronger, the more friends
Before Song Changhai arrived, Fang Yubin scanned the agreement again, and the staff in the hall prepared the tools to open the champagne.Although Song Changhai suddenly threw out the employee stock ownership plan, Fang Yubin, who was a "hitchhiker", felt that he didn't have to be too serious about this matter.Let Fei Yunpeng, the major shareholder, compete with Song Changhai. Regardless of victory or defeat, he can still continue to hitch a ride.

All the details are finalized and the signing ceremony is the final procedure.Ten minutes had passed since the ceremony was scheduled for 9 am.Fang Yubin raised his wrist to look at his watch, and then looked at Su Hao beside him.There was also a hint of anxiety on Su Hao's face. He said, "Wait a little longer! Although I signed the contract, Mr. Song said that he would attend the ceremony in person."

"It's okay, don't worry." Of course, Fang Yubin understood the principle that guests can do whatever they want, and said with a smile, "Did Mr. Song drink too much at Hailong Winery last night?"

"Impossible!" Su Hao said, "You still don't know how much he can drink, just the little drink last night, it's just child's play. Besides, he is famous for his iron man. Show up at the company early in the morning."

"Oh." Fang Yubin nodded, picked up his teacup and took a sip.

After another 10 minutes, Song Changhai still did not show up.Fang Yubin asked: "Did Mr. Song go to see Mr. Fei? Didn't he say last night that he wanted to talk to Mr. Fei today?"

"No." Su Hao said, "Today, the two of them made an appointment to talk about something, but that was after the signing ceremony. Mr. Song is very good at keeping promises, and won't change his promise midway."

Su Hao took out his mobile phone and tried to contact Song Changhai.The phone was dialed quickly, but no one answered.Su Hao called Song Changhai's secretary again. The secretary said that Song Changhai had explained last night that he rushed to the hotel after attending the signing ceremony today to talk to Fei Yunpeng. He also asked the secretary to go to the hotel to accompany Fei Yunpeng first. one line.

"So, you're not with Mr. Song?" Su Hao asked.

"Yes!" After the secretary replied, he asked again, "Why, Mr. Song didn't come to the signing ceremony?"

Su Hao hung up the phone and shook his head in confusion: "Where did he go?"

"Why don't you ask the driver?" Fang Yubin reminded.

Su Hao said: "Boss Song's home is very close to the company, and he walks to and from get off work every day, and never asks the driver to pick him up."

After a while, Su Hao took out his mobile phone again and called Song Changhai's wife to inquire about the situation.The other party said that after Song Changhai came home last night, he read the documents in the study for half an hour and then rested.Today she had a performance assignment, and she left home early in the morning, and Song Changhai hadn't woken up when she left.Mrs. Song was also a little anxious, saying that she called the nanny to go upstairs to take a look.

After making a round of phone calls, seeing that the time was approaching 10 o'clock, Su Hao said, "Mr. Song may have something urgent. Anyway, he has read the contract before. Let's sign it first."

Fang Yubin nodded in agreement, and the two took out their pens and signed their names neatly.The following ceremony has already been rehearsed, Fang Yubin and Su Hao held hands together for a long time, the hostess lady brought out champagne, everyone toasted to celebrate, and the staff was busy taking pictures.

Reporters rushed to ask questions at the scene, Su Hao said with a smile on his face: "Please stay calm, everyone, the cooperation between Haifeng Bank and Xinglan Capital is a successful cooperation between traditional banks and Internet finance, which is of great significance. We have prepared a special press conference and will explain it in detail to friends from the media. The press conference will be held in 10 minutes, please move to the multi-function hall upstairs, and Fang and I will answer your questions one by one."

The reporters flocked to the multi-function hall upstairs to grab a seat, Su Hao and Fang Yubin also walked out laughing.At this time, Su Hao's cell phone rang, he picked up the cell phone and only said a few words, his complexion suddenly turned pale.

After hanging up the phone, Su Hao immediately called his secretary: "I have something urgent to cancel the press conference."

The secretary didn't understand, and said, "The reporters are all here, so it's not good to cancel it temporarily?"

Su Hao's tone was urgent: "It's nothing bad, let the people in the Propaganda Department find a way to appease them." He turned his head away while talking.

Fang Yubin was stunned, and after realizing it, he quickly caught up with Su Hao: "Why was the press conference canceled? What's the matter?"

"Boss Song has an accident." Su Hao trotted, "You can come with me."

After leaving the office building, the two trotted all the way to Song Changhai's home.On the way, Su Hao told Fang Yubin that the nanny received a call from Mrs. Song Changhai and went upstairs to the bedroom, only to find Song Changhai paralyzed on the bed, unable to move half of his body, muttering, unable to even utter a complete sentence. out.It looked like a sudden illness, and the nanny had already called an ambulance.

Song Changhai's house is very close to the bank headquarters, Su Hao and Fang Yubin only took 5 minutes to get there.The two rushed upstairs, Su Hao leaned down, almost touching Song Changhai's face, and asked, "Boss Song, what's the matter, what's wrong?"

Song Changhai's face was filled with pain, and he hummed a few words, but no one could hear them clearly.Su Hao wanted to help Song Changhai up, but he didn't know what kind of disease he had, and he didn't dare to move his body rashly.

Fang Yubin stood aside, smelling a strange smell.He gently lifted the quilt from under his feet, and saw that the sheets were all wet.It seemed that Song Changhai was not only unable to move his body, but also lost control of his bladder and bowels. This disease is indeed serious.

A few minutes later, the ambulance finally arrived.After a simple examination, the young doctor said, "It looks like a cerebral thrombosis, so I have to send it to the hospital immediately."

"Okay, let's go together!" Su Hao helped the medical staff carry the stretcher and got into the ambulance together.

In the car, Su Hao first called a vice president and asked him to contact the hospital leader to ensure that the hospital sent the most capable personnel to treat Song Changhai.Then he ordered the director of the office to immediately send several groups of people to the provincial capital and Beijing, be sure to invite the best domestic experts to come to Xihai for consultation.After making the phone call, Su Hao asked Fang Yubin again: "What else do you think should be done?"

Fang Yubin said: "That's all we can do now. In addition, it's best to tell these people that Mr. Song's condition must be kept secret. If the condition will improve soon, there is no need to let too many people know."

"You're right." Su Hao dialed the phone again and told his subordinates to keep quiet for now.Song Changhai, who was on the stretcher, also snorted a few times at this time, looking at the look in his eyes, he quite agreed with Fang Yubin's suggestion.

The young emergency doctor watched from the side, knowing that this patient was by no means an ordinary person, and his attitude became more serious.As soon as the ambulance started, he called the director of the emergency department and asked the staff who took the stretcher to wait in the parking lot early.

One week after Song Changhai had a cerebral thrombosis and was bedridden, Huang Wencan, who was far away in Beijing, woke up early.Huang Wencan's home is quite simple, with two bedrooms and one living room less than 70 square meters.As a senior intellectual, he arranged this narrow space in a bookish manner.His wife lives in the second bedroom, and the master bedroom where Huang Wencan lives is almost used as a study.The inside is full of books, and his handwritten "Humble Room Inscription" is pasted on the wall.

The living room is also very cramped, and the dining table can only be placed against the wall.But Huang Wencan insisted on setting aside a place next to the sofa to put his favorite old-fashioned record player.

Huang Wencan was sitting on the sofa, holding a cigarette, crossing his legs, and a piece of low-pitched music was playing repeatedly on the record player.With the rhythm of the music, he clapped his hands from time to time and chants, with a sad expression.

"Ms. Huang, why did you get up so early today? What are you listening to?" The wife came out in her pajamas.She and Huang Wencan taught at the same university back then, and they still call each other teachers today.

Huang Wencan sat motionless and said, "Why, Teacher Liu didn't hear it? Listen carefully again."

Just listen to the record player singing slowly: "Dreams around the Shenzhou Road. Feeling the autumn wind, Lianying painting corners, the Forbidden City is away from the millet. The bottom line is Kunlun, and the nine lands are flooded? Gather thousands of villages and lonely rabbits. God's will is always high and difficult. Ask, it’s difficult to complain about the old and the sad, but I’m going to Nanpu to send you away! The willows grow on the shore to urge the lingering summer heat. Gengxie River, the stars are sparse and the moon is broken, and the clouds are broken. Where do you know where thousands of miles of rivers and mountains are? If the geese don't come, it's hard to write a book? With the eyes full of the blue sky and the past and present, I'm willing to be kind and resentful to you! Hold up the big white and listen to the golden thread."

The wife said: "If I remember correctly, this should be "Congratulations to the Bridegroom" written by Zhang Yuanqian, a poet of the Southern Song Dynasty."

Huang Wencan nodded: "Ms. Liu is indeed a professor of the Chinese Department, and I heard it immediately."

The wife asked puzzledly, "Why did you wake up early in the morning and listen to this poem?"

Huang Wencan smiled lightly: "Although you are a Chinese teacher, you don't know much about history. Among the brilliant Tang and Song poems, Zhang Yuanqian's "Congratulations to the Bridegroom" is not outstanding. But do you know the person who made this poem famous? Who is it?"

The wife asked curiously: Who is it?

Huang Wencan smiled and started talking to his wife...

His wife gradually understood Huang Wencan's thoughts, and said: "Zhang Yuanqian's words are well written! The phrase'the eyes are full of the blue sky, the past and the present, and Kener Cao's kindness and resentment are with you' means that you and I both have the past and present and the country's major events in mind. Characters, not those who talk about their children's grievances and personal relationships. Maybe this is an old opponent who has been fighting for decades."

Huang Wencan said: "The last two lines of the poem, 'Jiu Dabai, listen to the golden hazel', express helplessness. They can only drink and listen to singing to relieve their sorrow. After being revised, they sang and recorded again. This change brought the meaning of farewell to the climax .”
