Chapter 148 Seeing Lie Xinxi (4)
Ling Fei added: "It's just that this kind of medical special plane is several times more expensive than ordinary special plane services."

"Money is not a problem." Mrs. Song Changhai and Su Hao said in unison.

Next, Su Hao was busy coordinating Song Changhai's medical treatment in the United States.Due to the video conference with the American people and the time difference between the two places, he almost didn't rest all night.

The next day, Su Hao washed his face with cold water and went out by car, rushing to the meeting site of the board of directors.Outside the meeting room, Fang Yubin was smoking and chatting with someone.Seeing Su Hao approaching, he pulled Su Hao aside and said, "There won't be any trouble at today's board meeting, right?"

"Why do you ask that?" Su Hao asked listlessly after a busy night.

Fang Yubin said: "I wandered around the venue and felt that the atmosphere was not right. Ordinarily this kind of meeting is just a formality, and everyone should be relaxed. But how I watched, many people are sullen, as if a big battle is about to happen .”

"The battle is imminent? Why didn't I feel it?" Su Hao rubbed his red eyes from staying up late, "Are you too sensitive?"

Su Hao went on to say: "The day before yesterday, I had a phone call with Fei Yunpeng and the leaders of the Xihai State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission, and they clearly expressed their support for me. Besides, even if anyone in the bank has an opinion on me, they dare not disobey Mr. Song."

Fang Yubin nodded: "Rongding and Xihai State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission both support you, so it should be safe."

"Don't worry." Su Hao patted Fang Yubin's shoulder, "Let's go, go to the meeting."

Because of Song Changhai's serious illness, Su Hao has been acting as chairman during this time.He sat in the middle of the meeting room where Song Changhai used to sit, cleared his throat and said, "Everyone is here, let's start the meeting now."

At this moment, the door of the conference room was pushed open, and a man in his 50s with a suit and leather shoes walked in, smiling and holding an old-fashioned briefcase in his hand.Su Hao and Fang Yubin had never seen this person before, and there was some surprise in their eyes.Many people in the conference room couldn't help whispering.

"This is..." Su Hao asked.

He sat down on the chair and nodded: "My lord Huang Wencan."

It was Huang Wencan who came!He was wearing the gray tailor-made Italian suit and had shiny black hair that had obviously just been dyed.

There was another commotion in the meeting room.Fang Yubin didn't know who Huang Wencan was, but Su Hao had heard of him long ago.He is the founding veteran of Haifeng Bank, Song Changhai's partner, and was later kicked out by Song Changhai. He seems to have been reporting Song Changhai's problems in Beijing recently.

The visitor was not friendly, Su Hao's heart tensed up.He quickly calmed down and said, "I've heard of Mr. Huang's name for a long time. It's just that we're going to hold a board meeting soon. What's your business? Can you talk about it after the meeting is over?"

Huang Wencan said with a smile: "You continue the meeting. I have nothing to do, I just came to attend the meeting today."

Su Hao said: "You have already left the bank, and you were not invited to today's meeting. You are sitting here, isn't it good?"

Huang Wencan took out a water glass from his briefcase, took a sip, and said, "No matter how naive I am, I will never come uninvited. I am really invited to attend today's meeting."

"Someone invited you?" Su Hao felt incredible.

"I invited you." Zheng Qingyun, vice president of Haifeng Bank who was sitting on Su Hao's left, said loudly.

Su Hao stared at Zheng Qingyun with a chill in his eyes: "Old Zheng, why didn't you tell me when you invited people?"

Zheng Qingyun showed no fear, and smiled and said: "I'm sorry, I was negligent. I thought, you are the president and I am the vice president, so naturally you have to ask for instructions and report. But today is the meeting of the board of directors, everyone Attending as a director, you can express any opinions you have, so I didn’t tell you in advance.”

"If you have any opinions, tell them now!" Su Hao said bluntly.

"It's nothing." Zheng Qingyun rubbed his hands, "I know that today's board meeting is to elect a new chairman, and I plan to elect Mr. Huang Wencan as the new chairman of Haifeng Bank. Huang Wencan, as one of the candidates for the chairman, must attend this meeting. Is it reasonable?"

Su Hao finally realized that what Fang Yubin said about the strange atmosphere did not seem to be sensitive.Huang Wencan and Zheng Qingyun dared to jump out and challenge openly, they must have come prepared.

Su Hao looked at Zheng Qingyun again, and thought of a sentence: A dog that bites does not bark.In the past, not to mention being obsequious in front of Song Changhai, even in front of himself, Zheng Qingyun never dared to say no.Zheng Qingyun is ten years older than Su Hao. He calls Su Hao "President" in the office, and even "Big Brother" in private. He doesn't feel embarrassed at all.Song Changhai's wife is only in her 20s. Su Hao always called her "Xiao He", but this Zheng Qingyun called her a sister-in-law, which makes people feel disgusted.

After Song Changhai fell ill, Zheng Qingyun went to the hospital every day.Hearing that Song Changhai would be a useless person for the rest of his life, Zheng Qingyun burst into tears.Thinking about it now, people are not sad, but weeping with joy.The tigers in the mountains are gone, and the dogs can finally come out to bite people.

Zheng Qingyun took a sip of mineral water and said, "Mr. Huang Wencan, I don't need to introduce you. He is a finance professor, an industry expert, and the founder of Haifeng Bank. I thought that after Mr. Song, he was the only one who could carry the responsibility. This is a heavy burden. Next, let's vote according to the meeting agenda."

"Wait a minute." Fang Yubin had a premonition that the situation was not good, so he decided to resort to procrastination tactics, "As a shareholder of Haifeng Bank, I didn't know that Mr. Huang Wencan was a candidate for the chairman before, so I don't know much about his situation. Yes Instead of postponing the meeting, let us learn more about the candidates and compare them before making a judgment."

"I don't think so." Zheng Qingyun said, "Old Huang is not a newcomer, and most of you here are familiar with him."

Fang Yubin said: "I don't know whether others are familiar with it, or at least I am not. The selection of the chairman is a major matter, and it is not wrong to be cautious."

Zheng Qingyun still wanted to argue, but Huang Wencan waved his hand to signal him to shut up, and then said to himself: "This must be Mr. Fang of Xinglan Capital, right? I have heard of your name for a long time, and I have admired you for a long time. Your opinion is indeed reasonable, Mr. The directors should all know me, but the newcomers may not. Fortunately, I am not a mysterious person, and it doesn’t take much time to get to know me. If Mr. Fang agrees, I can immediately explain the report to everyone. It’s not accurate, The old folks here can still add more." Huang Wencan's Mandarin is very standard, and his manners are also gentle and elegant. Compared with Song Changhai, who has a rough voice and a dialect, his style is very different.

Huang Wencan also said: "As for the request to postpone the meeting, I don't think it is necessary. The agenda of the board meeting did not say that if there is a new candidate, it will be postponed. If it is postponed today, someone will propose a candidate at the next meeting, right? Does it have to be postponed? It is the right of the directors to propose different candidates. If there are people who keep proposing candidates, will this meeting never be held?"

When Huang Wencan said this, Fang Yubin was at a loss for words.This was the first fight between him and Huang Wencan, but he could tell that the other party was a formidable person, not only articulate and logical, but also had an aura of calmness and prestige in his tone.

At this time, the representative of the Xihai State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission said: "The board meeting should proceed according to the agenda. Lao Song will not recover in a while, and it is not a problem that the position of chairman will be vacant for a long time."

Fei Yunpeng did not show up at today's board meeting, and a vice president present on behalf of Rongding also echoed, "Yes, let's continue with the meeting."

Su Hao clearly felt an atmosphere where he was isolated, but Huang Wencan could respond to everything.But the matter has come to this point, so he can only hold on. He said: "Okay, let's proceed according to the meeting agenda. Everyone knows that Mr. Song worked hard for Haifeng Bank and eventually became sick from overwork. He also hopes that the bank will be elected as soon as possible. If he becomes the chairman, he can continue his career." When Su Hao mentioned Song Changhai, he deliberately emphasized his tone.This is also canvassing votes for myself at the last minute!Many people here have received Song Changhai's favor. In the ward a few days ago, they even patted their chests to promise that they would follow Song Changhai's wish and push Su Hao up.I hope you won't be like Zheng Qingyun, a white-eyed wolf!

Entering the election stage, the representative of the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of Xihai City cast the first vote - Su Hao.Su Hao finally heaved a sigh of relief for being able to get the clear-cut support of major shareholders.Next, several directors cast their votes, but the situation was mixed with joy and sorrow.Some of those who pledged allegiance in front of Song Changhai's hospital bed kept their promises, but some turned their backs and voted for Huang Wencan.Fortunately, the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of Xihai City has a larger proportion of shares and enjoys more voting rights. Therefore, in the overall situation, Su Hao is still in the lead.

Finally, it was the turn of Rhodium Capital to express its position.The situation is very clear, Su Hao always wins the votes, even if Rong Ding chooses to abstain, he is the chairman of the board.However, once Rongding supports Huang Wencan, Huang Wencan will be elected with a slight advantage.Reminiscent of Fei Yunpeng's swearing promise to him a few days ago, Su Hao seems to be able to let go of his heart that has been hanging for a long time.

The representative of Rongding said slowly: "We support Mr. Huang Wencan as the chairman of Haifeng Bank."

As soon as these words came out, there was a sudden silence in the meeting room.Immediately afterwards, some people rejoiced, some people looked at each other in blank dismay, but Huang Wencan sat motionless on the chair with no expression on his face.

Zheng Qingyun stood up and said: "The election results have come out, let us applaud together to welcome the new chairman." Zheng Qingyun was the first to applaud, and people continued to join in after that.The applause was getting louder and louder, but Su Hao clearly felt that every slap was on his face, it was hot.

As soon as the meeting ended, Fang Yubin immediately came to Su Hao's office and asked, "Why is this happening?"

Su Hao's face was ashen, and he shook his head in pain: "How would I know? If I had known it earlier, such a thing would not have happened."

Fang Yubin also felt that his question was superfluous, and he sighed: "I am careless, I am really careless."

Fang Yubin asked about Huang Wencan's background, Su Hao told him about the grievances between Huang Wencan and Song Changhai.Fang Yubin sighed again: "In ancient times, the usurper had to wait for the old emperor to die. Fortunately, Song Changhai is still lying in the hospital, and the people below can't wait to do it."

Su Hao thought of Zheng Qingyun again, and couldn't help cursing: "That guy named Zheng is really worse than a dog." Then, he turned his anger on Fei Yunpeng again: "Fei Yunpeng is a big boss in the business world, how can he talk like that?" Like farting?"

Fang Yubin sneered and said, "People like Fei Yunpeng don't have any integrity at all. But having said that, today's incident was definitely not only caused by these few people. Didn't you realize that there are quite a few small and medium shareholders and senior management People turn against Ge. Of course, they are not against you, but Song Changhai." After a pause, he asked again: "The matter has come to this, what should we do next? Do you want to tell Song Changhai?"

Su Hao thought for a while, and said: "Huang Wencan has already become the chairman, so we can only wait for him to make a move. As for Mr. Song, let's not talk about it for now, and send him to the United States for medical treatment. With his current state, not only can't help Come to us, after knowing the news, maybe the condition will get worse."

Fang Yubin nodded: "That's the only way to go."

5 If there are too many bonuses, everyone is a talent

Su Hao was reviewing documents in the office when the door was pushed open.

"Old Su, are you busy?" Huang Wencan greeted with a pleasant smile on his face.

It has been a month since Huang Wencan took office, and Su Hao continues to be the second in command.Someone once advised Su Hao not to conspire with each other if they disagreed. Since Huang Wencan succeeded in sneak attacking him, he simply left. It's not good if he doesn't serve him anymore.After thinking about it, Su Hao did not do this.It's not that he can't let go of the position of president, but he is grateful for Song Changhai's kindness.Even though with his own qualifications, it was a condescension to be the second in command of Haifeng Bank, but Su Hao knew that it was the trough in his life at that time, and Song Changhai's ability to accept him despite the crowd's opinion was already very rare.Su Hao is too clear about the significance of Haifeng Bank to Song Changhai. At this moment, Song Changhai is bedridden and has gone far away. His old enemy for many years has taken over Haifeng again, and he wants to leave again. Who will guard this stall for Song Changhai?
"Boss Huang, what's the matter?" Su Hao stood up and said politely.After a month of contact, Su Hao's impression of Huang Wencan is not very good, but it is not too bad either.At least, on various occasions, Huang Wencan showed enough respect to Su Hao, and did not kill other Song Changhai's former subordinates.

Huang Wencan motioned for Su Hao to sit down, and then said: "I want to talk to you about something. My office has just been decorated and is in a mess, so I came here to you."

Su Hao knew that Huang Wencan did not use Song Changhai's luxurious chairman's office, but redecorated one.The new office is not big, and before the renovation, Huang Wencan repeatedly told him to only pay attention to practicality, and never to be extravagant.

Huang Wencan held a water glass in his left hand and a book in his right hand.He put the water glass on the table, and handed the book to Su Hao: "I know you are a great talent, and I also like to read. There is a book that I like very much, and I will give it to you."

Su Hao took the book and looked at it. This is a "Biography of Wang Anshi". The author is also famous. He is Liang Qichao, a leading figure in the late Qing Dynasty and early Republic of China.Su Hao thanked him, and then said: "Wang Anshi was a reformer in the Northern Song Dynasty, and Liang Qichao promoted the Reform Movement of [-]. A reformer writes a biography for a reformer. Such a masterpiece is rare in ancient and modern times."

"Yes." Huang Wencan nodded and said, "Liang Qichao is a great talent born in the world, and his works are as high as his body, but I highly admire his two books. One is "The Biography of Wang Anshi" and the other is "The Biography of Li Hongzhang". Liang Qichao Commenting on Li Hongzhang's sentence, "I respect Li Hongzhang's talent, I cherish Li Hongzhang's knowledge, and I feel sorry for Li Hongzhang's encounter", how well said. In the final analysis, it is still the sentence you just said. It is up to the reformers to write biographies for the reformers. There is a tacit understanding."

Huang Wencan added: "But I give you this book not only because Wang Anshi is a great reformer, but also because he is Su Dongpo's lifelong political enemy. I have heard that you are a loyal supporter of Su Dongpo. "

"You know that too." Su Hao said with a smile.

"Working together, why don't you understand?" Huang Wencan took a sip of tea and said, "Since you like Dongpo, you should be very clear about the grievances between him and Wang Anshi, right?"

Su Hao nodded: "Wang Anshi pushes for the reform, but Dongpo thinks that the reform is too aggressive, and even harms the country and the people. At that time, the reformists were in charge of the government, and Su Dongpo was relegated many times."

Huang Wencan said: "You're right. Wang Anshi and Su Shi have different political views, and they often have lawsuits. But do you know where the two met for the first time?"

Naturally, this question cannot fail Su Hao, who has studied Dongpo deeply. He said: "In Jiangning. At that time, Wang Anshi had resigned from his position and lived in seclusion in Zhongshan. Dongpo, whose official career was not going well, kept writing brilliant works during his exile. The article gradually gained fame."

Su Hao said again: "That year, Dongpo went down the river and passed Jiangning. Wang Anshi, who had retired, wore clothes not much different from that of a farmer, and rode a donkey to meet him by the river. When Dongpo heard the news, he didn't have time to straighten his clothes. Then he went out and saluted the captain, saying: "Shi dares to pay homage to the prime minister in wild clothes." Wang Anshi cupped his hands and said, "Is the ceremony just for my generation!" They both laughed."

The meeting between Su Shi and Wang Anshi has already become a good story.Huang Wencan and Su Hao, who are both literati, thought of Wang Anshi riding a donkey, Su Shi in disheveled clothes, and the heroic and unusual sentence "The etiquette is for my generation", and they couldn't help but express their longing.

Huang Wencan said: "The literati in the Northern Song Dynasty can be regarded as a model of Chinese scholar-bureaucrats. Wang Anshi pushed for the reform, Sima Guang and Su Shi opposed the reform. They have different political opinions, and they are in the same situation, but they can cherish each other. Wang Anshi's crackdown on those who oppose the reform has always only demoted officials. In exile, we will never set up charges to frame opponents, let alone put people to death. Even when Su Shi was almost killed because of the Wutai Poetry Case, Wang Anshi, who had resigned from office, wrote to the emperor, bluntly saying, "There is no such thing as a flourishing age to kill talented people." , Actively rescue your political opponents."
