From the early days of development and construction, the emerging CBD of City B has attracted the attention of countless people, not only because of its large scale and important impact on the city's GDP, but also because of the wide circulation of various related insider stories, which are mixed with true and false, but without exception involve amazing corruption.

Countless people, young and old, are involved in after-dinner discussions, spreading these rumors and creating new ones, whether or not the CBD is related to themselves.

On the one hand, it was the first to break ground and the first to be completed, and on the other hand, it was also surrounded by various insider rumors, and the relevant people either died or were imprisoned.

However, this project was not regarded as a hoodoo because of this, but was favored by major companies and job seekers from all walks of life.

The main body of the project is an office building named "Dongyao Building", whose height is not high-rise in City B, but the majestic building design is unique.

It is said that many large enterprises have settled here, just for this kind of design, hoping to win a good fortune. There are even people who mysteriously advertise that this is also because of the excellent feng shui design of the building, which attracts wealth and prevents evil.

Those foreign-funded enterprises who do not know much about the theory of Feng Shui are very pragmatic, focusing only on the good quality of the building and the meticulous and thoughtful property services.

The building is also home to Dong Yao and its parent company, Imperial Holdings, which is obviously a bit higher than its subsidiaries and has the power to display a large company logo and the words "Imperial Holdings" in both Chinese and English on the outside of the building, and to light it up with brilliant neon lights at night.

If the rumors about the project are full of money, then the rumors about the Imperial Holding Group are being carried by car because no one knows enough about this mysterious enterprise.

Some time ago, this huge conglomerate seemed to have emerged from the ground, with billions of dollars in registered capital and controlling many companies, but the background has always been a mystery. Some say it has extensive connections at the top of the government, while others say it was formed by overseas investors to maximize their own interests in the domestic market while avoiding the economic crisis that is currently sweeping the world.

What really attracted the attention of this group was that it acquired New Century Finance, the second largest subprime lender, in the financial turmoil of country M, and prepared to introduce it into the domestic market. It is believed that New Century Financial has been granted permission to open a bank in China, and negotiations are underway to invest in a state-owned bank.

There are all kinds of theories, all of which have one thing in common, that is, the owner of this group is a young man in his twenties, who seems to have just returned from abroad. But the lad is very low-key, and the outside world has little more specific knowledge about him.

People always have a strong interest in mysterious things, even when they are actually exposed to themselves, it turns out to be so prosaic.

So, for a time, this diamond king Xiaowu became the goal of many young men of the same age, and also became the dream lover of many girls of the same age.

This is simply super handsome and rich, if you are willing to open a Weibo, you will definitely be more popular than Wanda's son, and have a larger number of begging groups.

Since early in the morning, there has been a long queue of people downstairs of the Imperial Holding Group, because the group is open to the whole society to recruit more than 100 positions today.

There is no restriction on the location of the household registration, no restriction on education, no restriction on gender, and excellent treatment, in the case of employment forms becoming more and more severe year by year, such opportunities are simply pie in the sky.

Some people suspected that the pie was poisonous, so they conducted an investigation, and it turned out that Imperial Holding Group is not one of those unscrupulous enterprises that defraud workers of their hard-earned money, and has always made every effort to protect the treatment and welfare of employees.

However, it is true that the pie will not fall from the sky for no reason, and if you want to get this pie, you need to go through a strict assessment, and you have to pass five levels and cut six generals, and use various methods to stand out from many applicants.

Nowadays, women are the most difficult to find employment, so female applicants also use the most methods, either wearing a smart professional suit to give the impression of being shrewd and capable, or bringing a lot of academic qualifications and grade certificates to prove that they are sufficiently talented;

There are also those who go off the rails, and they wear guò to fully show their posture to achieve the same purpose, the deep cleavage must be exposed for the big breasts, and the round and full thighs must be exposed for the beautiful legs.

In contrast, male job seekers have far fewer methods, some of them wear suits and show that they have the image of a white-collar spokesperson;

Some dress very casually, with a casual and leisurely temperament, hoping that the examiner likes their tone.

But not all job seekers pursue these trivial things, many people come out in their true colors, fight for opportunities with their actual abilities, and leave it to fate whether they will be appreciated.

Whatever the method, there are only five minutes to fully demonstrate, and for those five minutes, there is a long wait.

Although it is already autumn, the weather is still sultry, and the dense crowd is crowded together, which further increases the temperature and completely loses the role of central air conditioning. After a short period of time, many people were already sweating, but looking at the front, there was still no sign of shortening.

"Borrow, borrow! Thank you!" a young man started behind the human dragon and squeezed forward little by little.

"Hey, okay with the queue, we've all been waiting for a long time!" said one job seeker impatiently.

The young man smiled indifferently and replied to the other party: "I'm not here to apply!"

The candidate who spoke looked the young man up and down, and couldn't help but shake his head slightly.

A suit is obviously a famous brand, but it is too casual to wear it, so that the elegant lines that should be reflected are missing; a pair of leather shoes has probably not been polished for a long time, and they look gray and abrupt, and there is no way to compare with the shiny leather shoes of this job seeker; especially unbearable is the unkempt hair, which seems to have forgotten to comb his hair when he went out. Looking at the sleepy eyes again, this person should have just gotten out of bed.

In fact, if you look closely, this person can be regarded as a jade tree in the wind, and if you groom it well, you can make a more shining appearance.

But this raunchy style has greatly reduced the overall image.

The job seeker said to himself: "Fortunately, he is not here to apply, otherwise just based on the first impression, the examiner would have been able to pass him!"

Not everyone is as patient as this job seeker, and there is a girl wearing a short skirt and heavy makeup, who impatiently shouted: "What are you squeezing?

This girl is very beautiful, wearing an ordinary professional suit, which can make her wear a strange sexiness, and her thighs and cleavage are all presented in the best posture, but it feels too bewitching.

The young man looked her up and down, and replied with a smile, "I'm sorry, I don't like to eat soy products!"

The girl gave the other a blank look and did not speak again. In her heart, she has a little disdain for this young man, and even for all the job seekers here. She applied for a secretary position in Dongyao Company, and her classmate Zhou Tong was the secretary of the chairman of the Imperial Holding Group.

Whether it was this girl or these applicants present, they didn't know that the young man who had just passed was Pang Jindong, the chairman of the Imperial Holding Group.

Pang Jindong is now his own boss, and he doesn't have the pressure of working for others in the past, and his good problem of going to bed late and getting up late has gone to the next level.

Getting up lazily from the bed today, Pang Jindong remembered that it was the group's recruitment conference, and there were still many things waiting to be dealt with by himself, so he hurried over.

However, this is not the only reason why Pang Jindong appeared with this appearance, and being unkempt is a habit developed in mercenary life for many years.

When you're on the battlefield, no one cares if your hair is unkempt or if the collar of your shirt is clean and neat.

Although Pang Jindong's current life has left that environment, he has also entered another battlefield, a battlefield that is equally sinister although there is no gunsmoke.

When Pang Jindong lazily walked into his office, Zhou Tong immediately followed, chattering and reporting: "Chairman, the number of applicants today far exceeds expectations, and the time originally planned is definitely not enough." If everyone is evaluated, it will at least continue until the day after tomorrow...... Also, Mr. Shen Hao called just now......"

"Now the development speed of the group is too fast, and there need to be enough talents to support it! It is a good thing that there are more applicants, and those selected from a larger base will inevitably be more excellent!" Pang Jindong took off his coat and handed it to Zhou Tong, sat on the chair himself, and then asked: "What's the matter with my godfather's call, why didn't you call my mobile phone?"

"There is nothing important, he knows that you are not there, so let me tell you that the preparations for the New Century Bank are proceeding smoothly, but there is still no progress in the matter of taking a stake in China Merchants Bank. ”

The results of these two things have been revealed a long time ago, and Pang Jindong has long expected them.

In fact, foreign capital can still obtain profits from the domestic banking industry that exceed the normal level, and such profits cannot be obtained by state-owned enterprises and Chinese people themselves, such as buying shares of state-owned banks at prices far below the market price.

After entering China, New Century Finance did two things, the first was to invest in the establishment of New Century Bank, and the second was to invest in China Merchants Bank. The former did not encounter major problems, but the latter encountered considerable obstacles, although the negotiations between New Century Finance and China Merchants Bank have been going on and have made considerable progress.

In fact, theoretically speaking, it is an excellent opportunity for foreign capital to take a stake in a domestic bank, because the government has amended the relevant laws and regulations, and there is no longer an upper limit on the proportion of foreign capital in domestic bank shares, and there are a large number of cases of successful investment and huge profits in the past.

This regulation issued by the government has been widely criticized, and many people believe that this makes country Z the only country in human history that allows foreign capital to control state-owned banks, and it is also the beginning of the loss of economic dominance and financial control by the Chinese people.

As a result, when the relevant government departments received the relevant applications, they had to be cautious, although they did not explicitly veto, but also did not approve them. Although New Century Financial does not want to completely control China Merchants Bank, the capital invested will inevitably account for too high a share.

"I can't ...... this matter" Pang Jindong sighed and continued: "On the one hand, as a Chinese, I have a lot of opinions on this policy, but on the other hand, I need to make a profit from it now. I don't want to quit the company for personal reasons, and I don't want to quit on my own, and then give this opportunity to foreign financial predators, so the only thing I can do is to wait and see. ”

"Qin Xiaotian also called to ask for your opinion on how much position to keep in the fund under Xiaodong Fund Company. ”

"Of course it's a light position, it's better to have a short position!"

"But the China Securities Regulatory Commission recently issued a document requiring all funds to maintain a certain percentage of positions. ”

Since the stock index hit a new high, the domestic stock market has begun to fall continuously, plummeting and falling one after another. At the beginning, investors had good intentions and thought that it was just a normal correction, but in the end they had to face the reality that the bull market had turned into a bear market.

This downward momentum shows no signs of stopping, and any funds that try to enter the market to buy the bottom are all trapped.

Because the current stock market has no bottom at all, I think that it has reached the bottom, but I don't think that there is a basement underneath, and when I get to the basement, there is a cellar underneath, and there is a hell underneath the cellar, and this hell is still 18 floors.

Because Xiaodong Fund Company got the signal in advance and knew that the stock market would change, it avoided the plunge in time and held most of its assets in cash, and so far it has only maintained a very low position in the stock market.

Pang Jindong pursed his lips, although his expression was still calm, his tone became resentful: "At the beginning, I didn't take any measures, let the stock market overheat, and the stock index continued to rise outrageously. By the time the bubble was created, the people had already invested enough money into it, and then a series of negative effects were used to suppress the stock market, which was called squeezing the bubble. Now that the bubble is gone, the stock market is still falling, and the management has begun to want to save the market again, but instead of taking action, it has sent open-end funds out with an administrative order, and in the final analysis, it is the people's money that will be smashed. Now in this market, you can't get out if you go in, and the people's money is really worthless. ”
