Chapter 249: Weak Trust

Yao Liang smiled and closed his mouth and stopped mentioning it, then got up and returned to the table, opened the drawer and took out a bag of papers.

"This is the information of the real estate in Huacheng that we talked about last time, Brother Zhou, take a look, if there is no problem, our bank can start operating."

Zhou Liwen didn't open it after taking it, but just put it aside: "This thing has to be reviewed by the accounting firm and the legal department, and it may take a few days to reply, it's okay for you, right?" ”

Yao Liang nodded again and again, and said with a smile that it didn't matter. Zhou Liwen sat and chatted with him for a while, and after ten minutes, he looked at his watch and got up to say goodbye.

Sending Zhou Liwen downstairs and watching him drive away, Yao Liang walked back and forth in the room irritably after returning to the office, walking a few circles, he gritted his teeth and picked up the phone on the table.

"President, it's me, Xiaoyao. Yes, yes, what you mentioned last time...... Yes yes...... Is it convenient for you now, why don't I go to your office to talk? Okay, I'll come over and ...... right away. ”

Zhou Liwen drove away from Huhai Bank, ran into a red light after a while, stopped the car and glanced at the Wen Jiàn bag left in the parking space on the right, and a meaningful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

People are selfish, and the most unpredictable and unreliable thing in this world is actually the human heart. Except for their own parents and relatives, most people will do anything to fight for themselves for the sake of profit. This is the lesson that Zhou Liwen experienced in his previous life, so he will not trust anyone. Moreover, this society is now a material society, and the trust between people is even more negligible than in the past. In Zhou Liwen's heart, in addition to his parents, wife and children, and his sister, only Guo Tao, who was the only one who lent a helping hand to him in distress, can be trusted, as for Zhang Zhen, Liao Yuancheng, Pang Yishan, Sha Zihao, and even Brother Jian, Brother Jun, Wei Zi and others, Zhou Liwen and them are more just friendships and relationships maintained by mutual interests, and cannot mention each other's real trust.

This point has always been kept in mind in Zhou Liwen's heart, and his mind is very clear, and his previous experience has taught him that interests and trust, friendship and friendship cannot be confused. Everyone can talk about it, and having the same interests may become good friends, but it definitely does not mean that he can be really, or even unconditionally trusted, by Zhou Liwen. Even Guo Tao, an old friend, in the past year, Zhou Liwen deliberately let go and gradually transferred Guo's management rights to him, mainly in this way to maintain their previous friendship, so as not to affect the trust of the two for their own interests.

And Yao Liang, from the very beginning, the two sides were just a relationship of mutual use, or it can be said to be a sale and transaction. Whether Zhou Liwen asked him to solve the mortgage at the beginning, or later engaged in the Alipay project, Zhou Liwen had more transactions with Yao Liang than friendship. From a certain point of view, Yao Liang did help Zhou Liwen a lot, but Zhou Liwen also gave him a lot of financial rewards. So today, when Yao Liang tentatively said these words in front of him, the sensitive Zhou Liwen saw through his true purpose at a glance. As for the text of this real estate, Zhou Liwen did not make a decision on the spot as readily as before, but found an excuse to temporarily put it off for a few days, which is a knock on Yao Liang's dissatisfaction with this behavior, and it is also a warning to the upper echelons of Huhai Bank in this way.

After so many years of reform and opening up, although China is said to be centered on economic construction, it still cannot get rid of the arbitrariness of commercial cooperation and the drawbacks of ignoring the spirit of contract. With the rapid development of Alipay, Huhai Bank now feels that it has suffered a loss in this project and intends to tear up the original agreement, which Zhou Liwen expected at the beginning. It's just that Huhai Bank didn't expect that Alipay's exhibition momentum would be so fierce, and Zhou Liwen's attitude would be so tough.

After receiving Yao Liang's report, President Su of Huhai Bank decided to put this matter under pressure for the time being. Zhou Liwen's words are very clear, if Huhai Bank is ready to tear up the agreement, then he can also disobey the rules of the game and throw himself into the arms of other banks. Unlike Zhou Liwen who begged them to cooperate, now with the surge in Alipay's users, and Zhou Liwen himself has established an e-commerce network - Taobao, Zhou Liwen now has far more chips in his hands than at that time. The cooperation between Huhai Bank and Zhou Liwen in Alipay is not a secret in the same industry, and some small and medium-sized banks have coveted this step taken by Huhai Bank, and even several large state-owned banks have regretted how such a good project came into the hands of Huhai Bank, a local bank.

From this point of view, Zhou Liwen's threat made President Su feel a little tricky. He was worried that once he really proposed to Zhou Liwen to redivide Alipay's interests, Zhou Liwen would cooperate with other banks on the grounds of violating the agreement. This is exactly the current mentality of Governor Su. And when he learned that Zhou Liwen's Guo's logistics cooperated with Huhai Bank to acquire the unfinished real estate project in Huacheng, Wen Jiàn was brought back by Zhou Liwen, and asked for an accounting firm and a legal audit before he could reply, President Su was even more undecided.

"Xiao Yao, let's let this matter go for a while. Boss Zhou, you try to appease him, let him not have too many ideas, and tell him that as the number one, I still support the two sides to continue to cooperate in depth on the original basis. Governor Su picked up the teacup and took a sip of water, thought about it and said.

"That's no problem, when I mentioned it to him today, I said that it was the opposition of some people in the bank, and that this proposal had been vetoed by you, the president, but the pressure from the people below was still very high."

Governor Su raised his eyebrows and smiled very satisfied: "Xiao Yao has done a good job, well, so we have a lot of room for maneuver." Xiao Yao, you were personally recruited by me, I am very optimistic about your ability, what we lack in our line is an experienced, brainy and young cadre like you, do a good job! In the future, there will be a chance to be on your own. ”

Yao Liang immediately laughed so much that he couldn't close his mouth, and said yes again and again, and said some kind words such as the cultivation of the president. Then, he asked for instructions about the cooperation in the acquisition of the unfinished building in Huacheng, and now Zhou Liwen has brought things back, what instructions do the bank have on this.

"Let's see." President Su said unhurriedly: "The asset review and procedures are complete, and when the first case came out, Boss Zhou and they had already tried it, and the formal things were not much different from the original case at that time." If Boss Zhou has no objection in the end, it is best that if there is, it is not impossible to consider making some appropriate concessions. ”

"I see." Yao Liang is a smart person, and he understood what Governor Su meant as soon as he heard it.

Just when Yao Liang and Governor Su were discussing countermeasures, Zhou Liwen had already arrived at the high-tech park located on the other side of the river.

The Internet company and Alipay were established around the same time, and Zhou Liwen bought an area in this high-tech park to serve as the headquarters of the two companies.

Today, the place is far from the city, surrounded by farmland, sparsely populated, and would have taken an hour and a half by bus if it weren't for the extension of the metro station at the end of last year. Even now, you have to change to a shuttle bus to reach the park after the subway, which is very inconvenient. However, Zhou Liwen knows that in a few years, this place will become the center of most of Shanghai's IT industry.

Zhou Liwen started early, and it didn't cost much to get the plot plus buy real estate and construction. And for the convenience of transportation, Zhou Liwen also purchased several buses for the network company as a company shuttle bus to facilitate employees to commute to work.

At present, Taobao has more than 6o employees, Alipay has more than 3o employees, plus some administrative and logistics personnel, and the two companies have just over 100 employees. This is already a large company for a network company that has not been registered for a long time. Of course, Zhou Liwen knows very well that this is just the beginning, and in a few years, with the expansion of the company's scale, it is normal for more than 1,000 employees.

The buildings in the park are not high, generally around three to five floors. Mr. Zhou's two network companies are located in the same location and own two five-story conjoined office buildings. In terms of total area, nearly 100 people working in these two buildings seems a bit luxurious, but Zhou Liwen doesn't care, because he took into account the future exhibition when he bought this place, and maybe these places will not be enough at that time.

As the chairman, Zhou Liwen has his own special office here, but he rarely comes over on weekdays, except for a professional copywriting secretary who reports to him every other time, Liu Ting is responsible for the basic business. Zhou Liwen still trusts Liu Ting's ability, Taobao is in her hands, and her management and execution skills are also very strong.

"Dong Zhou, I just heard that you are here." Sitting down in his office, before Zhou Liwen could take a sip of the tea that the secretary had made for him, Liu Ting heard the news.

"Come on, you sit down first, I just have something to tell you." Zhou Liwen nodded to her, casually took some of the documents handed by the secretary and looked at them, and then signed on several documents that needed his signature, and when the secretary left with the documents, Zhou Liwen cast his eyes on Liu Ting.

"One thing for you, I asked you, a few days ago you reported to me that there are several banks that plan to cooperate with our Alipay, right? What's going on, do you have any information? ”

Liu Ting was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously said: "There is such a thing, there are a total of five or six banks, except for one state-owned bank, the rest are commercial banks." The details are in my office, or I'll go over and get them now. ”

Seeing Zhou Liwen nodding, Liu Ting hurriedly got up and went out, and after a while, she came back with a few thick stacks of essays and a few business cards.
