Chapter 149 Seeing Lie Xinxi (5)
Huang Wencan also said: "Wang Anshi's political reform failed, but his former political enemies continued to send him warmth. Sima Guang commented on him as 'the article is righteous and has many advantages'. Su Shi even waved a big pen like a rafter, saying that Wang Anshi's reputation was high, and he learned a lot." Through thousands of years, wisdom is enough to achieve one's way, debate is enough to act one's words; magnificent writing is enough to embellish all things; outstanding deeds are enough to move the wind. This is the battle between gentlemen, no matter who wins or loses, the big deal There is no need to fight with your life to resign and leave. It is really different from the life and death of the party in the late Tang and Ming Dynasties, which was bloody and bloody."

Su Hao also expressed his feelings: "Northern Song Dynasty is indeed a lovely dynasty, full of humanities and elegance, as brilliant as stars. It is probably only in that era that the scholar-bureaucrat class that really does not need to be completely attached to power, which can be called spiritual aristocracy, only existed in that era. Dongpo and Wang Anshi, who has different political views but also respects each other, this may be a high level of political civilization."

Huang Wencan said with a smile: "We dare not compare ourselves to the ancients, but we can still think of others."

Su Hao nodded in agreement, while thinking about Huang Wencan's intention to send the book. He knew that I love Dongpo, so he used the example of Wang Anshi and Dongpo, hoping that they could put aside their past differences?

Huang Wencan said: "I know, it was Song Changhai who invited you to Haifeng, and you also know that Song Changhai and I had disagreements before. However, although Lao Song is domineering, he has a very clear mind, otherwise there would be no Haifeng’s today. He invited you to be the president. In my opinion, he is recruiting talents for the company, not cultivating private parties.”

Huang Wencan really confided his heart?Now that people have spoken, Su Hao has to say something, he said: "I have always thought so in my heart, as the president of Haifeng Bank, my duty is to assist the chairman, so that the bank can continue to develop healthily .”

"That's right." Huang Wencan nodded and smiled, "I knew that a person who loves Dongpo must be an honest gentleman."

"You're too much." Su Hao's wariness towards Huang Wencan, of course, won't dissipate just because of a few words.But it is undeniable that my impression of Huang Wencan has improved, and the atmosphere of the conversation has become more and more relaxed.

Huang Wencan said: "Needless to say, I don't agree with some of Song Changhai's actions, but he has indeed made great contributions to Haifeng. I heard that you once promised his wife that the medical expenses for the medical flight to the United States will be paid for." It was borne by the bank, so why did he pay for the money himself in the end?"

Su Hao said: "I made a promise. Didn't the situation change later?"

"What's changed!" Huang Wencan said, "You are still the president now, so why can't you be the master of such a trivial matter? Besides, with Song Changhai's contribution to the bank, we should pay for this money. You will approve this matter later. Finance department, who has an opinion? If there are no rules, there will be no circle. If you don’t buy into the president’s account, if you don’t follow the rules, I, the chairman, will be able to remove him from his post.”

Su Hao was a little surprised and moved. Although he had fought with Song Changhai for many years, Huang Wencan at this time was quite like an ancient gentleman.

"In addition to delivering books, I have business to do." Huang Wencan adjusted his sitting posture. "The bank has developed well in recent years, but the treatment of employees has not kept up. I have been wondering, can I make up for this shortcoming?"

"What do you think?" Su Hao asked.

"I want to set aside a special sum of money to pay social insurance for all front-line employees." Huang Wencan said, "Our bank is quite formal, and all employees have been buying social insurance. However, social insurance has different standards. The bank pays all employees for cost reasons. I bought it according to the intermediate standard. I asked the people in the human resources department, and it happened that the country issued a policy to allow social security to be paid according to the highest standard.”

Huang Wencan also said: "The higher the standard of social security payment, the more money you will receive after retirement. This time the bank has suffered a little blood, and the life of the employees after retirement will be more secure. I think the money is well spent."

Su Hao said: "There are tens of thousands of employees in Haifeng Bank. Once the social insurance is repaid from scratch, it will cost a lot."

Huang Wencan nodded and said, "The human resources department and the finance department calculated it, and it's probably several hundred million."

Su Hao let out an "oh" and said, "It's a good thing to do well for the employees, of course I support it."

Huang Wencan handed Su Hao a cigarette, then lit it himself, and said, "Support is not enough. Hundreds of millions must be real money. I will leave it to you to raise money."

Su Hao said: "Banks deal with money. There are too many ways to raise money. Interbank guarantee, bridge loan, real estate mortgage, you can think of any way, hundreds of millions should not be a problem."

"It seems that I found the right person." Huang Wencan flicked the cigarette ash, and said, "In addition, I want to sell Hailong Winery and Haifeng Yacht. Only these two can realize almost [-] million yuan."

Huang Wencan went on to say: "I know that there are a lot of controversies about the winery and the yacht. Some employees say that it is a place of indulgence and a hotbed of corruption, but Song Changhai regards them as a proud pen and thinks it represents Corporate image. To me, both views are reasonable, but they are not comprehensive. From a dialectical point of view, the development of banks needs support from all aspects. Many policies back then were won in wineries, and a lot of business was also won in yachts. But at the same time, the impact of such a luxurious thing is really not good, no wonder the employees complain. Haifeng has developed to this day, and its strength lies there, so there is no need to use wineries and yachts to support its appearance. Corruption and extravagance are prohibited, although Haifeng Bank is not a pure state-owned enterprise and has been restructured into a joint-stock enterprise long ago, but the winery and yachts are not disposed of, after all, it is a bit dazzling."

"This dialectic is very good!" On this matter, Su Hao coincided with Huang Wencan.He had already persuaded Song Changhai that it was best to keep a low profile in the current climate, but Song Changhai remained unmoved.

Huang Wencan smiled and said: "When it comes to dialectics, I have to talk a little bit. There is also a dialectic in providing benefits to employees. Don't think that these money are costs. In fact, they are not investments? They can bring productivity. Only when there is security, can there be a sense of belonging, enthusiasm, and strive to create value for the company. Huawei’s Ren Zhengfei said that if there are too many bonuses, everyone is a talent. This is what people say! We spend so much money to build a magnificent Office buildings, even with the most advanced financial management software, don’t feel distressed. Is it possible to give employees a little money, and feel distressed!”

Huang Wencan continued: "There is a view that the cake should be made bigger first and then cut. That is nonsense! If the cake is not cut properly at the beginning, most people will think that no matter how big the cake is, what does it have to do with me? Once it comes, everyone will not have the enthusiasm to make a big cake.”

"You have a deep understanding," Su Hao said, "I completely agree. Don't worry, I will find a way to collect the money for the supplementary social security as soon as possible."

"Okay!" Huang Wencan said, "We agree on this issue. However, the supplementary payment of social security is only to solve the worries of the employees, and really make everyone's pockets bulge. This alone is not enough."

"What else should I do?" Su Hao asked.

Huang Wencan said: "Taking advantage of the opportunity of listing, the employee stock ownership plan must be promoted. Employees must become shareholders and share the development dividend together."

Su Hao said: "Employee stock ownership plan, Mr. Song also wanted to push it before, but he encountered a lot of resistance. The supplementary payment of social security is just out of our own pockets to promote employee stock ownership, but it is distributed from all shareholders. Food. For example, Rongding’s Fei Yunpeng, he firmly opposes it.”

"It's not surprising to object to people's interests." Huang Wencan just picked up the teacup, and then put it back on the table, "But we have to let him understand that the objection is invalid! What Fei Yunpeng cares about is that Haifeng Bank will be listed as soon as possible so that he can Make a profit and cash out. You might as well tell him clearly that if the issue of employee stock ownership is not resolved, the listing can only be postponed. I want to see if he is in a hurry or I am in a hurry?"

Su Hao really didn't expect that Huang Wencan, who was born as a professor, would show such a strong attitude.Even a strong man like Song Changhai only discussed with Fei Yunpeng, and he didn't dare to give him an ultimatum.

"Just tell Fei Yunpeng directly like this?" Su Hao asked, but the implication was that he just pushed you to the chairman's position, so he repays you like this?

"Just say that." Huang Wencan said firmly, "I know that Rongding voted for me back then, but I don't have to be grateful to Dade, let alone exchange the interests of employees."

6 The person who can sit in this position may be a good guy, maybe a bad guy, or a jerk, but he will never be a fool
The weather at the beach can change.The sky was still clear in the morning, but in the afternoon it was covered with dark clouds, and after a while, the bean-sized raindrops poured down.

When the car was driving on the airport expressway, the wipers swung their arms and made a "squeak" sound.Su Hao gripped the steering wheel tightly and stared at the front.Fang Yubin, who was in the co-pilot's seat, said, "You are too polite. It's not the first time I've come to Xihai, and you still saw me off in person despite the heavy rain."

Su Hao said: "This is not just to give you a ride, but to have something to say to you."

Fang Yubin smiled: "Is it about the board meeting in the morning?"

Su Hao nodded: "The weather in West Sea is unpredictable, but the situation in Haifeng Bank is even more confusing."

Fang Yubin said: "To be honest, I am really confused about those people."

"Are you still confused?" Su Hao said.

Fang Yubin and Su Hao in the car couldn't help but think back to the board meeting in the morning, it was really a knife, a flash of swords, full of murderous intentions.This board meeting was proposed by Huang Wencan to discuss the employee stock ownership plan.Before the board meeting, Rhodium issued an open letter to all shareholders expressly opposing the employee stock ownership plan.Fei Yunpeng even flew to Xihai to attend the meeting in person.

At the meeting, as soon as Su Hao finished introducing the employee stock ownership plan, Fei Yunpeng took out his prepared speech and questioned the plan ten times in a row.After Su Hao answered one by one, Fei Yunpeng was not satisfied, and continued to chase after him, with the sound of cannons.Huang Wencan was also unambiguous, and immediately stood up and resolutely defended this plan.The following meeting almost became a debate contest between Huang Wencan and Fei Yunpeng.

In the end, Huang Wencan used his trump card and made it clear that if the employee stock ownership plan was not approved, the listing would be postponed indefinitely.In Huang Wencan's words, "Haifeng Bank is not short of money. The listing may be a few years earlier or a few years later, which will not affect the overall situation." Rong Ding pointed to Haifeng's listing as soon as possible. The vice president of Ding even said, "If you insist on going your own way, Rongding will propose to reorganize the management as a major shareholder."

As the rain became heavier, Fang Yubin in the car asked, "If Rong Ding proposes to dismiss Huang Wencan, will it succeed?"

Su Hao shook his head and said, "It's easy for them to help Huang Wencan up, but it's hard to pull him down. Xihai City State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission has a very clear attitude and does not oppose the employee stock ownership plan. Besides, the chairman has just taken office, so there should be no personnel changes. As for Bank employees are even more staunch supporters of Huang Wencan. Think about it, after Huang Wencan came to power, he launched a package of employee welfare plans, who would be unhappy? This employee stock ownership plan is to fight for everyone's rights and interests."

Fang Yubin said: "So, Huang Wencan is determined to accept Fei Yunpeng." Immediately afterwards, he shook his head and said, "That's not right."

"What's wrong?" Su Hao asked.

Fang Yubin said: "Who is Fei Yunpeng? The dignified chairman of Rongding Capital. The person who can sit in this position may be a good guy, maybe a bad guy, or a jerk, but he will never be a fool. This time What happened to him? He tried his best to help Huang Wencan up, just to find someone who is against him? "

Fang Yubin asked again: "You have been in contact with Huang Wencan for a while, what kind of person is he?"

Su Hao said: "According to the old man in the industry, Huang Wencan had a nickname back then, Old Master Huang. This person is indeed well-mannered, with the temperament of a high-level intellectual inside and out. He also forgets to eat and sleep when he does his work, and he is very concerned about employee welfare. We are very attentive, the conference will talk about common prosperity, and we will let all employees share the development dividend.”

"This is simply a saint." Fang Yubin said, "But an old master like him, can he play Fei Yunpeng? According to the current situation, it seems that Fei Yunpeng has been sold and has to count the money for Huang Wencan."

"That's right! That's why I don't understand." Su Hao said, "Fei Yunpeng took the wrong medicine and insisted on helping Huang Wencan, what was he trying to do? How did Huang Wencan win Fei Yunpeng's support, and why now?" In a hurry to turn around?"

"It's just the beginning." Fang Yubin said, "Don't worry, there must be good things to come."

"Then why are you leaving in such a hurry?" Su Hao said, "The board meeting will continue tomorrow, and Huang Wencan and Fei Yunpeng will have to fight for [-] rounds. But you asked for leave halfway, and rushed back to Shanghai in a hurry."

Fang Yubin said: "Fei Yunpeng and Huang Wencan are fighting with gods, and I, a small shareholder, can't get in the way. Besides, there is something urgent in Shanghai, and I have to go back to deal with it."

"What's the matter?" Su Hao asked.

"Good thing." Fang Yubin smiled and said, "Your sister has misunderstood me so far, so I have to find a way."

"Why, you rushed back to see Su Jin?" Su Hao asked.

Fang Yubin said: "She is not willing to see me now! But after I finish this matter, maybe she will see me."

It was still pouring rain just now, but when the car drove to the terminal building, the sky cleared up again.Fang Yubin opened the car door and bid farewell to Su Hao: "What's going on at the board meeting, please let me know in time."

Su Hao smiled and nodded: "I'm also waiting for your good news."

When Fang Yubin rushed back to Shanghai, it was already past 7 o'clock in the evening.Yang Yun drove to the airport to pick him up, got in the car, and Fang Yubin asked, "Where is he?"

Yang Yun said: "I put the person in a hotel. The price they ask is not low, and they only ask for 50."

Fang Yubin said: "We are an investment company, not a banknote printing factory. How can she say as much as she wants. You didn't bargain with her?"

"Cut it off." Yang Yun said, "She has already agreed, as long as it is 30, she will know everything she can say."

"That's right." Fang Yubin laughed, "However, in my opinion, 30 is still too high. With her current desolation, 20 is not bad."

Yang Yun pursed her lips: "You are really good at picking skins, and you don't take any losses."

Fang Yubin said: "I am kind enough. If it were your former boss, Yu Fei, he would have sent a few gangsters to beat him up. She would have said everything without spending a penny."

Yang Yun gave Fang Yubin a white look, and said, "You just hate Yu Fei, but you don't know Yu Fei well. He is also polite and strategic. From what I know about Yu Fei, he would do this—first agree to 50 yuan." Come down and let her talk about it. After you finish speaking, tell the other party that these things of yours have been suspected of breaking the law. If I report the crime, you will not be able to go around. So, I will give you 50 yuan as intelligence fees, and you will pay me back 50 yuan , as a hush money. Offset each other, we owe nothing."

Fang Yubin laughed: "This is black eating black!"

Yang Yun took out a piece of chewing gum and handed it to Fang Yubin. Seeing Fang Yubin wave his hand, she began to chew.Then, she said again: "Tell me about you, he has a deep affection for you, why do you suspect that he has fallen in love with you, and ask me to spy on him?"

Fang Yubin knew that Yang Yun was talking about Jiang Ruobing, and it was indeed his own confession that he asked Yang Yun to go to Yijia Financial Services to investigate the situation.Fang Yubin sighed: "There are some things that Jiang Ruobing is very suspicious from the beginning to the end. It's not that I'm too stupid to think of it, but I just don't want to suspect her."

Yang Yun joked: "It seems that not only the concubine is interested, but the husband is also affectionate."

Fang Yubin's face flushed slightly, and then he reprimanded: "Don't be silly and interrupt me, I'm talking about business." After a pause, Fang Yubin said again: "As for the transfer of the Yijia equity held by Xinglan back then, Jiang Ruobing did She cooperated with me very much, and I am very grateful to her. But sometimes, the traces of acting are too heavy."

Yang Yun asked: "Why are traces heavy on the law?"

Fang Yubin said: "Jiang Ruobing called a meeting of Yijia's management to discuss it. The old people in the company were frightened by her authority and kept silent, but a few newcomers jumped out to question them publicly, and then Jiang Ruobing stepped forward to suppress those people. This is not intentional. Show me the acting, to prove how much effort she has put in to help me?"
