Chapter 50: Xiang Yang's Support

Mission Hills Golf Course, Shenzhen.

At this time, it is still winter in Beijing, but the temperature in Shenzhen has reached more than 20 degrees Celsius, with blue skies and abundant sunshine.

Ye Shikun and Yi Feng both wore short-sleeved polo shirts, white casual pants, and ball caps, and walked on the lawn of the court with an elegant old man who looked nearly 60 years old.

This old man is the fourth largest shareholder of Yuanfeng Group, chairman of Huarong Trust and chairman of Xincheng Insurance, Xiang Yang.

"Xiao Ye, Mr. Yi, the eighteen-hole course we are going to play today, called the New Green Valley Course, also known as the Vijay Course, is designed by Fijian golfer Vijay Saint, the style of the course is Oceania style, the grass species is Bermuda grass, the biggest feature of this course is that it has wild, undulating greens and steep "grass" bunkers, of which 14 holes are directly affected by water hazards, and often use narrow abandoned bunkers arranged parallel to the fairway, the difficulty is not small, today is to test your skills. ”

Xiang Yang was very interested, and as he walked, he raised his hand and pointed to the fairway in front of him, and introduced it to the two juniors.

Ye Shikun said with a smile: "If you talk about playing skills, of course the two of us are not as good as Uncle Shang, you and my father have been playing golf for decades, and we are just playing with you today." ”

Yi Feng raised his hand to cover his eyes and looked at the distant court, and said with a smile: "That's right, how can I compare with you with Shikun...... , Fang Dong, as soon as you said it, I found out that this course is really full of bunkers and lakes, this design is very interesting......"

Xiang Yang smiled and waved his hand: "The future is terrifying, you don't have to be modest, let's talk about it today, but if you want to gamble 5-3-1, you two can't release water!"

Ye Shikun and Yi Feng glanced at each other, shook their heads and smiled.

Ye Shikun responded: "Okay, then Uncle Fang, don't show mercy to your subordinates, I'm going to do my best!" said and pretended to move his arms.

Xiang Yang smiled happily: "Okay, you have to do your best, so it's interesting to fight!"

The more such old people play, the more interested they are in playing a game like ball.

5-3-1 is the more common way to bet on three-prongs: each hole is set at 9 points, with the lowest score awarded 5 points, followed by 3 points, and the worst score is 1 point. If the score is tied, divide the score of the two people by 2. For example, if two people are tied, both of them have the lowest score, then their score is (5+3)/2=4 points.

Ye Shikun returned to Yuanfeng this time and fully reflected on his previous weakness, that is, he did not have enough control over the board of directors, especially the lack of communication with neutral directors.

In the future, whether it is various reform measures or personnel adjustments, many of them need to be voted on by the board of directors, so it is important to fully communicate and communicate with each director in advance and prepare in advance.

So, after basically sorting out what needed to be done next, he started talking to the directors.

The first goal is to go to the yang.

Xiang Yang is Ye Lanting's old friend, and he is also a bigwig figure in the neutral faction of the board of directors, he can't help but hold a high proportion of shares, and he also has a great influence on other shareholders and directors, such as the fifth largest shareholder, ABC Huili, the tenth largest shareholder, Rural Trust Investment, including Wu Hua and Tang Jihong, who are independent directors, are also his old friends for many years.

If you can get the support of Xiang Yang, you can at least get 2-3 votes in the board of directors, which is very crucial.

Back then, if Xiang Yang hadn't abstained from voting with Ye Lanting, Ye Shikun would not have been "kicked out" of the company......

Although Ye Lanting hoped to appease the patriarch through this move at that time, and disagreed with some of his policies, it also showed that Ye Shikun, who was still a little reckless and naΓ―ve at that time, did not gain Xiang Yang's approval.

Two years have passed, and at the board meeting two days ago, Xiang Yang was the first to unexpectedly encourage and support him, which also surprised Ye Shikun very much.

Therefore, after he made an appointment with Xiang Yang, he immediately flew to Shenzhen to have an interview with Xiang Yang.

As for Yi Feng, it was Xiang Yang who took the initiative to ask to come together.

Xiang Yang is very interested in Yi Feng, a "supernova" who has become famous in the domestic business community, especially in the investment community, in recent years.

…………

The three of them played and chatted at the same time.

"Xiao Ye, Xiao Yi, both of you are leaders in the younger generation, to be honest, I am also impressed by your achievements in the past two years...... The Chang'an Fund you engaged in, whether it is a VC project or a PE project in the past two years, has not missed a beat, and the comprehensive investment rate of return is as high as 13 times. ”

Ye Shikun said modestly: "The affairs of the Chang'an Fund are basically carried out by Lao Yi, and I won't tell you, I am an LP, and I am only responsible for paying money." ”

Xiang Yang said with a smile: "Of course I know, didn't you also make a Xinsheng investment yourself? The results are also very good, and you specialize in investing in finance and new agriculture...... ,Alas,Speaking of which,At the beginning, Lao Ye and I thought about it a little inappropriately,I didn't expect you to be so confident,Come out and start your own business,Or stick to the idea in the company at that time,It turns out that your idea at that time was correct......"

Ye Shikun hurriedly said: "It can't be said to be completely correct, I was really young and vigorous at the time, and I was impatient to do things, I don't blame you and my father." ”

"Bang", standing in front of the ball, aiming for a long time, Xiang Yang swung hard, the ball shot out of the club, flew in the air, and drew a beautiful arc......

"Poof", I saw the white ball fall into the lake from a distance.

Xiang Yang took off his ball cap in annoyance, brushed his hair back with his fingers, and put the hat back again: "Alas, this ball didn't play well...... It's a bit far, so you should use a 4-gauge pole. ”

Yi Feng smiled: "Fang Dong, you are already 6 points ahead of us in the first two holes, you should let us in this hole." ”

Xiang Yang smiled and waved his hand: "It's not that I let it, it's really not good." ”

Hand the club to the caddy behind you and continue the conversation as you walk forward.

"Xiao Ye came back this time, I am very optimistic, the past two years have been experienced, by the way, what do you think about the financial holding group?"

Ye Shikun walked side by side with him: "This idea has been there for a long time, I have been worried about the liquidity of Yuanfeng, you also know that if the company wants to grow, it can't just bury its head in farming, agriculture is actually very short of funds, the combination of financial capital and agriculture is the general trend abroad, and some companies in China have set up their own financial holding groups in the past two years, such as Wanxiang Group and New Dream Group began to lay out finance as early as seven or eight years ago. ”

"My idea is to start with commercial banks and insurance, in recent years, Yuanfeng has also participated in several commercial banks, but none of them are controlling shareholders, and then I want to choose 1 or 2 commercial banks to achieve control. ”

A gleam flashed in Xiang Yang's eyes: "Oh? This idea is very bold! ”

"As you know, one is a bridge loan during the grain harvest season, which is a heavy financial burden for the group every year, and in addition, it wants to transform the existing traditional agriculture, whether it is seeds, pesticides, agricultural machinery and tools...... The group wants to provide these resources to farmers, and the amount of small loans and cash transactions is not small, and if there is a bank of its own, it will be much easier to operate in this regard......"

"In addition, insurance for the group also has a lot of benefits, can improve the company's risk protection system, and there is the central financial premium subsidy policy, I have read the data, the current annual growth rate of agricultural insurance is 38.83%, the premium is close to 10 billion, the next few years may have several times of growth, and the insurance industry is a sunrise industry, there is huge potential for development......"

Ye Shikun said as he walked, and Xiang Yang nodded frequently.
