(.) At present, there are four vice presidents of Huhai Bank, in addition to Vice President Lin, whom Zhou Liwen met before, there is also an old acquaintance of Zhou Liwen, that is, the former director of the credit department, Ma.

The last one is Vice President Qiao, who has just been transferred from another place, is about forty years old, has studied abroad, and is said to have some background on it, and is arrogant. After arriving at Huhai Bank, he pointed fingers at the operation of Huhai Bank, especially felt that the credit department and Alipay projects were not in place, and changed their ways to gain power from these two businesses to replace Vice President Lin's position in the bank. For this matter, Yao Liang and him have been fighting openly and secretly, and the relationship between the two sides is very stiff.

Director Ma, oh, it should be said that Vice President Ma. This old man is supposed to be Yao Liang's old leader, after all, Yao Liang was his deputy when he entered the Shanghai Bank. But in fact, Vice President Ma's opinion on Yao Liang is the largest among the four vice presidents, which sounds a little strange, but it is normal to think about it carefully

To find out, we have to look at the position and attitude of the four vice presidents. First, Vice President Lin is the first vice president after President Su, as the supervisor and responsible for the business of the bank, he is lukewarm to Yao Liang, at least on the surface. Second, Vice President Wang likes to show off his old qualifications and looks down on young people like Yao Liang, which is mainly a matter of personal ideology. Third, Vice President Qiao and Yao Liang have conflicts because of the perspective on business and the reason why they just want to make some achievements and seize power. As for the final fourth, that is, Vice President Ma, it is different. Although Director Ma was not the vice president, his position in the credit department was extremely important, and you must know that in some cases, a sentence from the director of the credit department is often more useful than that of the vice president. But who would have thought that after Yao Liang came to Huhai Bank, it didn't take long for him to be his deputy, and he directly took his position by paying for the baby's project, thus making him change from the director of the credit department to the vice president.

Nominally, the director becomes the vice president, which is a promotion. But this happened to Vice President Ma differently, in his opinion, it was the result of the rise and fall. After becoming the vice president, the bank's job for him is still to be in charge of the business of the credit department, but the question arises, how can Yao Liang, who has become the director of the credit department and the assistant to the president, let Vice President Ma toss around his one-third of an acre? Even within the credit department, a direct leader is of course more useful than a nominal vice president. This is tantamount to putting Vice Governor Ma in the air, making him, the vice president, a dispensable figure in the bank, and his power is even inferior to Vice President Wang, who is waiting to retire, or Vice President Qiao, who is trying to be bigger than a handful of people in Shanghai Bank.

Zhou Liwen quietly listened to Yao Liang's story, and he didn't show any surprised expression. Don't forget, Zhou Liwen is a person who has worked in state-owned enterprises, and in China, whether it is a state-owned enterprise or a commercial bank like the Shanghai Bank, it is inevitable that there will be fights between people, including complex and intertwined relationships. In fact, it is the same not only in China, but also in Western countries, including the United States. To put it bluntly, as long as there are people, there will be fighting, but foreign countries pay more attention to individual ability and group, while domestic consideration is more about "network" and qualifications.

"You just said that your president has an ambiguous attitude, what kind of ambiguous method?" Zhou Liwen took a puff of his cigarette and thought about it and asked.

"How else can you be ambiguous, play Tai Chi, speak ambiguously, no one wants to offend." Yao Liang replied with a wry smile, it's not that he hasn't looked for President Su, but every time he looks for him, it's the same thing, this old guy has the idea that more things are better than less, and it is as difficult as a loach that only slips and can't get his hands on it.

"You kid, don't you have a good relationship with any of the vice presidents? You're all assistant to the president now, how did you do this? Zhou Liwen couldn't help but laugh and scolded him.

Yao Liang scratched his head and said helplessly: "You can't blame me, this bank is similar to society, I am not an old man in their system, and I have no foundation in the industry." Second, as soon as I entered the Shanghai Bank, I held an important position, and in addition to the president, there was very little direct communication with other vice presidents. ”

Zhou Liwen nodded slightly, Yao Liang's words are not wrong, he is an airborne soldier in Shanghai Bank, and he has not directly parachuted into this position without any foundation, which is also a means for President Su to control the internal management of the bank and win over Zhou Liwen. And the dilemma that Yao Liang encountered, if Zhou Liwen didn't guess wrong, I am afraid that it would not be able to get rid of President Su, and even President Su, who seemed to be waiting for An An to retire steadily, used Yao Liang in the next game of chess, the purpose of which was to let his deputy and assistant fight with each other, so as to stabilize his interests and status.

It's not impossible, it's very likely. Just looking at Yao Liang's efforts to recruit manpower in the branches of Huhai Bank and confront the bank's top management, you can see the shadow of President Su behind him. What's more, Yao Liang is currently the assistant to the president, and without the acquiescence of President Su, he would not have any capital to compete with several vice presidents.

Zhou Liwen only knows a little about the situation so far, and it is unlikely that he will give Yao Liang an idea. He thought about it for a while, and asked Yao Liang some other questions, and after Yao Liang answered them one by one, Zhou Luowen stopped talking.

"Brother Zhou."

Seeing that Zhou Liwen was just smoking slowly, Yao Liang couldn't help but ask.

Waving his hand, Zhou Liwen said: "This matter is not urgent, the key depends on your Governor Su's opinion." And I don't think it's appropriate for you to be promoted directly from assistant to vice president at the moment. ”

"...... this?" Yao Liang was stunned for a moment, didn't he say it before? Zhou Liwen helped him ascend to the throne, and even replaced Governor Su, why did he suddenly change his hexagram again?

"You, you, the authorities are confused" Zhou Liwen pointed at him unceremoniously: "Director Ma, isn't the current Vice President Ma the vice president?" But what rights does he have in his hands after he doesn't serve as director? If you were to make a whole show like this, would you like to put on a vice president's hat for you? ”

Yao Liang was speechless all of a sudden, of course he wouldn't want to, who wants to be an empty vice president? However, Yao Liang himself also knows very well that it is absolutely indispensable to take the position of vice president, and his assistant to the president is almost the same as the vice president in terms of power, but the real administrative level is still half a level lower. If he can't become a vice president, when President Su retires at that time, even if he Yao Liang has the ability or more branch presidents to support him, he will not be able to become the president and join the board of directors in one step.

This is a hurdle, and you can't have it both ways. For a while, Yao Liang didn't know how to answer.

"Take your time, at least let Vice Governor Ma move his position first, don't forget, he is now the vice president of the credit department. If you become a vice president, who will supervise it? Isn't it? ”

Yao Liang nodded helplessly, what Zhou Liwen said was right, no matter what he said in the bank, it was impossible for Vice President Ma to move his position to him, right? If he takes away the only concurrent manager, it would be strange if Vice President Ma didn't make trouble. For the sake of stability and harmony in the industry, it is absolutely impossible for the scheming Governor Su to fall into such a stupor.

Half an hour later, Zhou Liwen got up to leave, Yao Liang personally sent him out, and when he saw Zhou Liwen's car go away in the night until he disappeared, he seemed to have a fire hidden in his heart, a fire that could not be fluffed up. He admitted that what Zhou Liwen said was very reasonable, but he was very unwilling in his heart. Faced with a board of directors that will begin next month, he had great hopes. But today, talking to Zhou Liwen like this is like a basin of cold water poured from the head to the soles of the feet.

Zhou Liwen didn't think much about how Yao Liang would feel in the end, as he said to Yao Liang, it is better to stay in his current position than to become a short vice president, which is not only good for Yao Liang, but also beneficial to his own layout. But at the same time, Zhou Liwen is also considering whether there is any other way on the way back, the layout of Shanghai Bank in China has a great effect on the development of Zhou Liwen's business plan, if he cannot achieve his goal in a period of time, maybe the original plan will have to be postponed. Since Yao Liang is not of great use for the time being, can it be considered from the other side?

At the beginning of this year, it lingered in Zhou Liwen's mind, and he still thought silently until the car arrived home.

In the next few days, Zhou Liwen and Richard, as well as Brother Jun, were not idle. After dealing with the affairs of Huhai Company, Zhou Liwen also took time to go to Heijiang and looked at the situation on the other side of Heijiang.

As reported, the Heijiang project is progressing very well. At present, with Zhou Liwen and Richard, coupled with the cooperation of Brother Jian in the local area, this combination is a force that cannot be stopped by the real estate developers in the north. What's more, Zhou Liwen has done such a set, which has not really taken shape in China, and from the perspective of outsiders, they are the first to eat crabs, and everything they do has great risks. But in fact, this kind of risk does not exist for Zhou Liwen at all, on the contrary, he can make enough profits before everyone reacts, and help Brother Jian make enough political capital.

And at present, it is indeed the same, the development of Heijiang has been valued by the province and even Kyoto, and even in Kyoto, in order to wave the flag for him, the people of the Jiange family also shouted the name of the "Heijiang model". Heijiang, once the provincial capital, has suddenly been reborn and has become a star in the northern inland city. As for Brother Jian, of course, he was even more in the limelight, Zhou Liwen and his party got the news when they arrived in Heijiang, and Brother Jian's position as executive vice governor and deputy secretary of the provincial party committee in the province this time was basically a certainty.

The current Brother Jian can be described as high-spirited, and many new buildings have also risen one by one in the old town of Heijiang under strict planning. Coupled with the city's policies and cooperation, the resettlement of the people of Heijiang is very appropriate, and because of the promotion of the domestic real estate market, the housing prices in Heijiang have risen faster than those in the provincial capital, which has also made the people who have moved back or bought their own houses very happy.

Of course, Zhou Liwen knows very well that these are all false prosperity. After a decade or twenty, this false prosperity disappeared like a bubble. But at least for now, whether it is Brother Jian, the citizens of Heijiang, or Zhou Liwen and Richard, everyone has got what they need. That's enough, but who cares about him in the longer term? The Chinese habit is to focus on the present, and the future is often not too late to solve in the future, which is the so-called ship to the bridge head natural straight.

Zhou Liwen They didn't stay in Heijiang for a long time, and they didn't have to wait for three days. He met with Brother Jian, and the two sides discussed the cooperation in detail, and according to Brother Jian's intentions, after he entered the province, he hoped that Zhou Liwen and Richard would continue to develop in the provincial capital, including several other cities, according to the Heijiang model. Of course, neither Zhou Liwen nor Richard would refuse this request, and the two agreed very happily, and at the same time glanced at each other knowingly, secretly happy in their hearts.

Richard was going to Kyoto to see the real estate project there, so the two sides broke up in Kuroe. Zhou Liwen took a private jet from Heijiang directly back to Shanghai, and after a short rest, he found a place to set up a banquet for a guest the next day.

"Dong Chou, long time no see"

"I'm really sorry, I want to get together with President Lin when I come back a few times, but unfortunately I haven't had time, this time I just have the opportunity, I'm glad that President Lin can come."

In an international private club restaurant, Zhou Liwen smiled and met the guest he invited, who was not an outsider, but Vice President Lin of Shanghai Bank.

"Dong Chou has every opportunity, I can't imagine enough to have time to invite me here, where can I talk about what I'm sorry for." Vice President Lin also smiled and stretched out his hand to shake Zhou Liwen's hand, and put on a subordinate posture. However, this is also normal, you must know that although Vice President Lin is the vice president of Huhai Bank, Zhou Liwen is far stronger than him in terms of status, wealth or connections, not to mention that Zhou Liwen is also the fourth largest shareholder of Huhai Bank and a member of the board of directors.

The two sides met very harmoniously, Zhou Liwen received Vice President Lin as an old friend, and Vice President Lin was even more experienced in dealing with people, and the relationship between the two sides was closer in a few words.

However, for Vice President Lin, he came today with doubts. You must know that except for a few meetings before, he and Zhou Liwen didn't have any friendship before, and even if they did, they were only at work. Moreover, Vice President Lin knows very well that Yao Liang, the current assistant to the president and director of the credit department of Shanghai Bank, is Zhou Liwen's person, but when he went to the place today, he didn't see Yao Liang there, and it seemed that Zhou Liwen only invited him alone, which made Vice President Lin even more confused. The relationship between Levine and himself this week is not so good, right? Why did you invite yourself alone for some reason?

Of course, it is impossible for Vice President Lin to ask this question directly, and after the two sides sat down, Zhou Liwen took the menu that had been arranged for Vice President Lin to look at, and politely asked him if these dishes were to taste.

"Of course what Dong Chou arranged by himself is a good thing, so I don't have to watch it." Vice President Lin waved his hand with a smile.

"Okay, what do you want to drink? Moutai or red wine? Lafite here is good, why don't you have a bottle? Zhou Liwen was not reluctant, and smiled and gave the menu to the waiter standing on the side.

"Dong Zhou, don't keep calling me president or something, I'm just a vice president, I can't afford this kind of title, let's just call me Lao Lin." Vice President Lin said with a smile, and then said: "Forget about the white and red, today is Chinese food, we Huhai people are actually more accustomed to drinking rice wine, why don't we have a bottle of rice wine to eat?" ”

"Of course you can" Zhou Liwen nodded with a smile and said: "Lao Lin, you are really good at cultivating your body, and it is really good to drink rice wine, so let's do it, I remember that there are twenty years of champion red here, let's get a small jar to taste?" ”

Vice President Lin smiled and nodded in agreement, and Zhou Liwen explained to the waiter and asked the other party to go down and make arrangements.

After a while, the wine and food came up one after another, and Zhou Liwen entertained Vice President Lin very warmly, and the two chatted while eating, but they both chatted about some idle things. For example, the taste of the wine, the vintage, the ingredients of the dish, and so on. As for the work matter, he didn't mention a word, as if the two sides had a tacit understanding.

It wasn't until he was halfway through the wine that Vice President Lin inadvertently asked Zhou Liwen about his current business abroad, and also praised Zhou Liwen for making the OR company so big, worthy of being a wizard in the business world.

"It's just luck." Zhou Liwen said with a smile: "In fact, the company has big problems when it is big, small companies have the advantages of small companies, Lao Lin, you are engaged in finance, you should know this." ”

"This makes sense, everyone is not good at it" Vice President Lin nodded in agreement, thought about it and said: "But with the strength of Dong Zhou, of course this company can only get bigger and bigger, and no matter how bad it is, it must be done."

"Yes" Zhou Liwen agreed, and sighed: "And now that my OR is preparing to go public, there are a lot of messy things, which is really a headache." ”

"Going public?" Don't look at Vice President Lin's face flushed, in fact, he is like this when he takes a sip of wine, and the real amount of wine is good. Hearing the word listing, Vice President Lin's heart suddenly moved, could it be that Zhou Liwen came to dinner to talk about the listing? But this idea was vetoed by himself as soon as he started, you must know that Zhou Liwen is currently a businessman with a US passport, and it is impossible to find a domestic listing with his strength and wealth.

"Listed in New York?" Thinking of this, Vice President Lin asked tentatively.
