Section 13 Connections

It's always so pleasant to chat with friends, so much so that time flies and people don't know it, Zhao Guodong hasn't had such an open and undisguised conversation with someone for a long time, Lei Xiangdong is not only a good listener, but also can interject just right to resonate, such a conversation object is really rare, Zhao Guodong believes that he is the same for Lei Xiangdong.

From the current state-owned professional commercial banks are introducing strategic investors to prepare for listing, to the restructuring process of local commercial banks, from the responsibilities of the central bank and the China Banking Regulatory Bureau to whether the social security fund should enter the restructured bank, from the risk brought about by the sharp increase in foreign exchange reserves to whether the RMB exchange rate should be appropriately liberalized, these topics are always full of controversy, even between Zhao Guodong and Lei Xiangdong.

"Stop, stop, don't show off your expertise, I know you're a cow from Wukesong, okay?" Zhao Guodong poked his finger in the palm of his hand to signal a pause, "I don't have so many professional things to quote classics as arguments, and I also know that the shareholding reform of state-owned commercial banks is the only way, but the introduction of so-called strategic investors may bring about the loss of assets, I think we should be cautious, especially those so-called strategic investors can really bring so-called advanced concepts and modern management art to the management of our financial institutions?" I deeply doubt it. ”

"Foreign banks are not philanthropists, even if they can bring something, but our efforts also need to be weighed, which I think many of our decision-makers seem to be too generous, that is the assets owned by the whole people, not any person's, a finger loosened, a policy, the silver flows out like water, foreign capital can sit back and enjoy its success, the lock-up period is up, the sale is hundreds of millions of benefits, is this really reasonable? Is it worth so much for them? ”

Lei Xiangdong also knew that Zhao Guodong was a strong-willed person, although he did not agree with some of Zhao Guodong's views, but some of the issues raised by the other party did have a certain universality, especially in the elite class, which also has a deep foundation.

"Gordon, I think you are still a little biased in this regard, I suggest you read a book on this subject or learn more about the opinions from all sides,??????"

"Yes, yes, I know which people's books you want to give me, which people's opinions, I have brains, I can analyze, their opinions represent one aspect, I don't knock them to death, but I think they have passed this measure." Zhao Guodong shook his head, "It seems that we don't agree on this point of view, this is normal, there is no need to fight for victory or loss, right?" China is so big, can you and I see this? Each expresses its own views and looks at the attitude of the decision-makers. ”

Lei Xiangdong is also helpless.

When the two figures came into view, Zhao Guodong was also slightly stunned, but he quickly reacted.

Lei Xiangdong also seemed to notice something, turned his head, two middle-aged men with a somewhat similar face were walking over with a smile, Lei Xiangdong didn't know each other, but looking at the other party's bearing, he should also be a frequent visitor here, the Club of America basically has some activities every week, and there are always some members who like this or that activity, and it is normal for Zhao Guodong to meet acquaintances here.

"Yo, the two of you are so free?" Zhao Guodong stood up very lazily and casually and stretched out his hand.

"How can you compare with Minister Zhao, you have a lot of opportunities, those of us who are looking for self-food, of course we will be much more casual." Zhou Xin smiled quite politely: "Governor Lei, contemptible Zhou Xin, this is my younger brother Zhou Da, we have admired Governor Lei for a long time, and today is the honor to meet." ”

Zhao Guodong tried his best to restrain himself to avoid a strange expression on the muscles on his face, this week Xin Zhouda brothers are really interesting, why does Wen Crepe's words sound so awkward, if you are not a literati, don't pretend to be Sven, it is better to be generous and bold.

Lei Xiangdong was stunned for a moment, and then there was a sudden expression of realization on his face, the Zhou brothers of Xinda Group? It is no wonder that the multi-billion project of Yunling electrolytic aluminum project was started by these two brothers, and it is said that it has been fighting with the two major enterprises of Hualu and Minmetals for a long time, and it is finally finalized.

"Two Mr. Zhou, fortunately, I have heard of the two big names a long time ago, our Anyuan is not many on the Forbes and Hurun double lists, the two of them are on the list together, dragon brother and tiger brother, it can be regarded as the pride of our Anyuan, isn't it?" Lei Xiangdong also stood up and shook hands politely.

Xinda Group started with phosphate rock, coal mine and phosphorus chemical industry, but through the successful transformation of Yunling electrolytic aluminum project, the group's assets have achieved a qualitative leap, the assets of the two last year and the ranking on the Hurun and Forbes lists are soaring, mainly thanks to the successful operation of the Yunling electrolytic aluminum project, and now Xinda Group is also actively seeking to be listed on the Shanghai Stock Exchange.

"I'm ashamed to be so praised by Governor Lei, where can our two brothers afford it?" Zhou Xin didn't dare to show a smug and reserved look in front of Lei Xiangdong, and his face was sincere, "This is also all thanks to the support of leaders and friends, Xinda can have today's small situation, and in the future, Xinda will rely on the strong support of President Lei and Minister Zhao." ”

Zhao Guodong laughed, "Mr. Zhou, can you not be so sour?" It's all a few Anyuan people, your half-baked Mandarin and the crepe Chinese above, my teeth are about to sore, President Lei is also a native of Chang'an, but people are in line with international standards, and they usually require Mandarin to be spoken, do you Xinda also have this requirement? Can we speak Yasuhara together? ”

was teased by Zhao Guodong, Zhou Xin and Zhou Da laughed, Lei Xiangdong also glared at Zhao Guodong and couldn't help laughing, this Zhou Xin's Mandarin does sound a little infiltrating, they all say that the sky is not afraid of the earth, they are afraid that Anyuan people speak Mandarin, this is true.

"Sit down, two Mr. Zhou, it's so rare to meet here, it's fate." Zhao Guodong waved his hand and motioned for Zhou Xin and Zhou Da to take a seat.

Lei Xiangdong frowned slightly, he is not very accustomed to eating with people, especially people he doesn't understand, the position of the president of the International Development Bank is also very sensitive, eating with businessmen, and in this Club of Americas, it is easy to be misunderstood, he doesn't want to give others too many associations.

He was a little hesitant when Zhao Guodong asked him to the Club of the Americas before, he had been to the Club of the Americas, but it was a more formal occasion to participate in some business activities, whether it was a meal, a banquet, or an event, they were all arranged by the industry to participate, but he was not afraid of anything, he himself had never been here for private reasons, but he did not expect Zhao Guodong to meet here.

Of course, there is no problem with Zhao Guodong drinking coffee and having a light meal here, but the two brothers Zhou Xin and Zhou Da are a little hesitant.

"Why, what did we just say? Now for duplicity? Zhao Guodong laughed, "Xinda Group is also a well-known private enterprise in Anyuan, and now there is a considerable investment in our southern Yunnan Wencheng, and I am now a Baopian Wencheng, I really hope that the two Zhou presidents will increase their investment and development efforts in our southern Yunnan." ”

Seeing Lei Xiangdong's approval, the two brothers Zhou Xin and Zhou Da were also overjoyed.

Xinda Group has another momentum after the hurdle of Yunling electrolytic aluminum project, this year more than a year Xinda Group has expanded several projects are relatively smooth, the prospects are quite optimistic, and the pace of listing is faster, Xinda Group is now also looking overseas, there is an intention to seek raw material bases overseas.

If you want to expand overseas, a very important factor is that you must have strong connections, contacts from all sides, not only local, economic, financial, and even high-level, Xinda still has a lot of work to do in this regard.

When he came out of the Club of Americas, it was already past nine o'clock in the evening, and he drank a lot of wine and opened up a little bit, Zhao Guodong felt that he seemed to be a little drunk.

If Zhao Guodong had called Cheng Ruolin in the past, the text asked Ruolin to pick him up and stay at Ruolin's place for one night, but now it seems that Zhao Guodong feels that it is extremely difficult to make this call.

Did you and Liu Ruotong break through that boundary, and their mood changed a little? Zhao Guodong fiddled with the mobile phone in his hand and couldn't make a decision for a long time.
