Chapter 40: The Future I Can See
The preparation for the establishment of the high-tech zone has led to a big move in the personnel of the three sub-branches under its jurisdiction, and the employees are generally unmotivated to work.
After the appointment of the head office was announced, Ding Le continued to carry out the work of the Taiping Branch, and the annual performance of the Taiping Branch was worry-free, at least this year was a bumper year.
In comparison, the two branches of Tong'an and Dongzhu are very bleak. At the end of October, the two sub-branches were still a long way from completing the annual target tasks, and the staff was even more uneven.
For the successor of the president of the Taiping Branch, as far as the branch is concerned, Ding Le is more inclined to recommend Zhang Maosheng, after a year of getting along, Ding Le feels that he knows how to advance and retreat, has a bottom line, and does things tactfully and principledly, which is much better than Zhu Guang.
Whether in his previous life or now, Ding Le is very generous to the subordinates who follow him, and he never flinches from the opportunities he can fight for them.
After making a decision in his heart, when Ding Le was no one in the office, he had another conversation with Zhang Maosheng.
"Lao Zhang, do you have any ideas for the personnel adjustment of the branch at the end of the year?"
Zhang Maosheng said self-deprecatingly: "Lexing, don't the head office advocate younger now, don't we old people have to stand aside!"
"It can not be generalized, the second and third quarters of this year's work conference on the senior management has such intentions, the high-tech zone branch open competition is indeed reflected, but the replacement of the old and new also has a process, at least three to five years will take it. ”
After three years of personnel changes, the average age of the branch president is only 30 years old, and the average age of customer managers and tellers is only 28 years old.
At present, Haizhou Bank is still taking a younger step, but it is only just a step.
Ding Le didn't beat around the bush, and after the analysis, he asked Zhang Maosheng directly: "At the end of the year, I will go to the marketing department of the new district company, and Fei Yang will follow me, I want to recommend you as the president of the Taiping branch, what do you think?"
Zhang Maosheng was stunned by Ding Le's words, he had an idea before, he just wanted to change to a better branch, but he never thought of being a president!
Ding Le ignored his surprise and continued: "Although the sub-branch will no longer have loan marketing tasks in the future, and the pressure on organizing deposits will increase, there will be opportunities when there are challenges, and you have been an account manager for more than ten years, so you don't want to take another step forward?"
"Of course, this is just my personal opinion, not on behalf of the head office, just a private advice to you, I think you are a good person, you have a sense of responsibility in your work, and it is not a big problem to be a branch president. Here I will help you to fight for opportunities, if you want to go further, you may also go to the relevant leaders of the head office to report the work. ”
After Ding Le finished speaking, Zhang Maosheng recovered from his stunned, Ding Le's words had too much impact on him, calm down and think that this is indeed an opportunity, and go all out, and then have Ding Le, the chairman and president, the celebrity in the eyes of the president, as a guarantee, it is still very likely to be elected president of the Taiping Branch.
"I'm also talking to you privately, and you don't want to make a public announcement when you go out of this door. After Ding Le finished speaking, Zhang Maosheng nodded to indicate that he knew what he knew.
Walking out of Ding Le's office, Zhang Maosheng still couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart, and Ding Le's words opened a new door for him.
After Zhang Maosheng left, Ding Le called Yu Jiankang to find out how the head office considered the candidate for the next president of the Taiping branch.
"The preparation and employment of the branch directly under the high-tech zone and your marketing department is an innovative and bold attempt of the head office, but the chairman and president are observing, if the cadres and employees selected by the competition can be very competent, then it is estimated that they will be completely younger in the future. What Yu Jiankang said on the phone was almost the same as Ding Le's analysis.
"Uncle Yu, I won't go around the bend with you, for the next president of the Taiping branch, I have a recommended candidate, now our branch account manager Zhang Maosheng, see if it is possible to help say good things in front of the leader, Chairman Xiao, Yang Xing, I will also go back to say." ”
Yu Jiankang was not surprised at all by what Ding Le said, as if he had expected it a long time ago. Before he left, he had already begun to operate for his subordinates, and Ding Le's sophistication in the workplace far exceeded that of his peers, and such a leader would win the hearts of the people wherever he went.
"After your announcement, the head office will supplement the recruitment of the positions involved in the adjustment of the three branches, and there will be many people staring at the position of president of the Taiping branch.
From what Yu Jiankang said, Ding Le judged that there would still be a competition for the follow-up, and he really wanted to hire the president of the branch, and some of the collusion work still needed to sit in front.
At the end of the publicity period, during the routine conversation with the leaders of the head office, Ding Le mentioned to the chairman and the president the idea of the candidate for the next president of the Taiping branch.
From the perspective of the challenges faced by the business of the sub-branch and the uneven internal people, Ding Le suggested that it is more appropriate to produce a sub-branch president from within.
After returning to the sub-branch, Ding Le reminded Zhang Maosheng to prepare for the interview in advance and think deeply about the arrangements for the future work of the sub-branch.
Do your best to obey the destiny of heaven, he can help everything he can, and the rest depends on Zhang Maosheng's own strength.

Xia Xiao finally set a time to apply for a visa in Shanghai under the lead of an intermediary agency. Originally, the intermediary was going to send employees to take Xia Xiao to the consulate, but now Ding Le is also going with him, so Xia Xiao went with Ding Le instead, and then met with the intermediary staff at the consulate in Shanghai.
Since the completion and opening of the Haihu Expressway, it only takes less than two hours from Haizhou to Shanghai, which greatly shortens the travel time between the two places, improves the efficiency of travel, and lays the foundation for Haizhou's deeper integration into the economic development of the Yangtze River Delta.
The two set off from Haizhou at 7 o'clock in the morning and arrived at the visa office of the Shanghai Consulate on Nanjing West Road just after 9 o'clock. After the 911 incident, the visa application procedures for studying in the United States were very cumbersome, and this is when the advantages of professional services provided by study abroad agencies are reflected.
Ding Le and Xia Xiao made an appointment to meet again, and he drove to the Shangri-La Hotel that Ding Jianye had booked in advance.
In his previous life, because many of the shareholders of his customers were in Shanghai, he often went back and forth with the two places to go through the signing procedures, so he was very familiar with the direction and transportation of Shanghai.
The hotel and the consulate are not far away, Ding Le came to the hotel to check in, and Ding Jianye also drove there.
"Ah Le, you are finally here, since the clearance of the Chinese ship, several partners and I have been looking for the next investment project, and you are here to help us check the gates. ”
I haven't seen him for more than half a year, and the signs of the uncle's fortune are obvious, and the beer belly can no longer be covered.
After Ding Le cleared his position at 300 yuan from China Ship, even if he no longer took the initiative to pay attention to the market, he could still get some news about the stock market through various financial information every day.
Since the Shanghai Composite Index hit a high of 6124.04 points, the market has started the most complex and shocking adjustment since this round of bull market.
"Haven't you already cleared your position and left the market, do you still have a position?" Ding Le asked suspiciously.
"Recently, several securities companies are recommending PetroChina to us, saying that PetroChina will be listed next month, and now it is in the stage of raising funds, securities companies are very optimistic about this stock, and I and several partners have also carefully studied and analyzed, we are ready to build a position in PetroChina, and fight again!" Ding Jianye said confidently.
When Ding Le heard that Uncle Xiao and his partner were preparing to buy PetroChina, Ding Le was a little dumbfounded.
On November 5, 2007, another unforgettable day for A-share shareholders, the most profitable company in Asia, PetroChina, landed on the A-share market in a high-profile manner, opening at a "cap price" of 48.6 yuan, and immediately became the "world's largest market capitalization" listed company.
In my impression, on the first day of PetroChina's stock listing, a large number of value investors flocked in at a price of 48.6 yuan, and everyone was expecting PetroChina to create another "Chinese myth" like China's shipbuilding, but they were ruthlessly slapped in the face.
After the price of PetroChina went public, it fell unilaterally all the way to a new low, and almost all the investors who chased high and bought PetroChina in 2007 were trapped, and there was no return until the bull market in 2015.
Fortunately, Ding Le came in time, and nothing happened. Ding Le said to Ding Jianye seriously: "Uncle, have you seen the post that I didn't post?"
"Yes, what's wrong?" Ding Jianye asked rhetorically.
"I said I wrote that post, do you believe it?"
Hearing this, Ding Jianye was dumbfounded.
"In the future that I can see, PetroChina will be a deep pit that must not be touched!" Ding Le said firmly.
