(.) Headquarters of Shanghai Bank.

Ten months ago, the headquarters of Shanghai Bank was officially moved from the old office address to this new building, which is more magnificent and luxurious, and has become the office location of the new headquarters.

Different from the previous headquarters, this entire building is all owned by Huhai Bank, and from the ground floor to the eighth floor, all of them are the business halls and office space of the headquarters of Huhai Bank, and also include the office area where the board of directors is located. As for the eighth floor and above, it is a business area to lease to some foreign institutions and large companies. The relocation of the new headquarters indicates that Huhai Bank has become a leader and leader among domestic commercial banks.

The president's office occupies one-third of the eighth floor, and in this exquisite, luxurious and unconventional office that cost more than 600,000 yuan to renovate, President Su stood on the antique shelf, playing with a piece of porcelain from an official kiln in the early Qing Dynasty, and listened to the secretary of the board of directors reporting to him.

President Su is not only the president of Huhai Bank, but also the chairman of the board of directors, and the secretary of the board of directors who is reporting to him is an old subordinate who has followed him for many years.

The secretary of the board of directors reported on the operation of Huhai Bank in the past six months, and some boring figures came out of his mouth one by one, but in the ears of President Su, these numbers were much more beautiful than any note, which made him listen to them with taste. Looking back on his life for decades, he gradually became the backbone of the credit union from an apprentice, and then gradually climbed to the director and president, and finally stood out among many competitors when the credit union merged and reorganized into Huhai Bank, until he sat on the throne now.

Governor Su himself knows very well that he is not the strongest among the competitors in terms of ability, nor is he the highest in terms of education, nor is he the most advantageous in terms of age. But it was he who succeeded in reaching the top in the end, while those who had more advantages than himself failed. The key is his own vision and His Majesty's ability to balance, coupled with the strength of the drill camp, so that the leaders above gave him this position.

These are the handwritings that Governor Su has been proud of all his life. Moreover, in just a few years, Huhai Bank has developed rapidly in his hands, from the ragtag army that no one is optimistic about in the banking circle to the current situation step by step, although it is not comparable to the huge scale of the four major banks, but now Huhai Bank is no longer a role that others can see.

It also made President Su think that he was the other proudest hand since he became the head president, that is, the cooperation with Zhou Liwen on Alipay. With the advantage of Alipay's online payment, Huhai Bank has become a pioneer in domestic bank online payment, and has a great absolute advantage in this bank. Even when he went to Kyoto some time ago to attend a banking industry conference, the family members of several major banks who had always been unfamiliar with him changed their attitudes, and even the leaders of the People's Bank of China and the China Banking Regulatory Commission even talked to him about the business of online payment, encouraging and supporting them to make Huhai Bank bigger and stronger in this regard.

Every time he thought of this scene, Governor Su couldn't help but be complacent, and the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned, and he was extremely comfortable.

Secretary Dong's voice was crisp and clear, and there was a charm when he reported, which sounded unusually comfortable in Governor Su's ears. After about ten minutes, the sound of the report finally stopped, and the work report was completed.

"How's the board of directors going next month?"

"It's all arranged, the representatives of the directors, including the ** directors, have been notified one by one, and all parties have also replied, here is the specific list, please take a look." The secretary of the board took out a piece of paper from the folder and handed it over respectfully, President Su took it and looked at it and nodded slightly, signaling him to arrange it according to the tone set before.

"This time the board is different, you have to have snacks on the agenda, and the hospitality must be done to the highest standard."

"I understand, don't worry." The secretary of the board hurriedly replied, and then said: "In addition, Chairman Zhou sent an email some time ago, and this time he happened to be in China and might come to participate in person. ”

"I already know about it." Governor Su nodded and said, Secretary Dong saw that it was okay to leave first, and after the Secretary of the Board left, President Su gently put the porcelain in his hand back on the shelf, took a few steps back, tilted his head to look at the position, and nodded with satisfaction.

Zhou Liwen is coming to participate in this board meeting, and President Su has already gotten the news before. In the past few years, Zhou Liwen has participated in the board of directors for the first time in the name of a director, and in the past, he only sent representatives to vote by a show of hands. For this matter, President Su guessed Zhou Liwen's intentions, because this time the board of directors is a little different from before, because it not only has to make resolutions on some ordinary proposals, but also involves the future personnel adjustment of Huhai Bank.

Governor Su is 62 years old this year, and according to the normal retirement age in China, he is 60 years old, but as the head president of the Shanghai Bank, it is normal for him to retire at the age of 65 according to his rank. However, whether he retires immediately or retires after two or three years, he will eventually leave his current position, from this point of view, the time for him to retreat to the second line has entered the countdown, and within the Shanghai Bank, it is also time to choose a successor.

At present, there are five candidates for succession, that is, four vice presidents and one assistant to the president. But Governor Su himself knows that it is impossible for Lao Wang to do it, because he is also facing the same problem as himself. As for the remaining four, each has its own strengths and weaknesses.

Zhou Liwen came to the board of directors this time, and nine times out of ten, he wanted to support Yao Liang, the assistant to the president, that is, the director of the credit department. But in Governor Su's view, this matter is difficult to do. To tell the truth, in the past few years, Zhou Liwen has basically fulfilled his original promise to President Su in the board of directors. But President Su was not without rewards, he promoted Yao Liang from the original deputy director to the director, and then to the position of assistant to the president, these exchanges were enough in his opinion. After all, Yao Liang's qualifications in the industry are too shallow and his age is too young, although he has been hinting to himself recently that he wants to continue to become the vice president and thus obtain the status of successor, but President Su has never nodded, because he knows very well that if he goes out at this step, he will not only take a big risk, but will even cause a strong backlash from several deputies.

Every time he thought of this, Governor Su felt a headache, and at the same time, he couldn't help but feel that time was like an arrow. In a blink of an eye, it was time for him to leave his position, and when he thought of this, President Su had a strong unwillingness in his heart.

I want to live another 500 years and 500 more years

This lyric clearly represents Governor Su's current mood, if he really can, he even wants to continue to sit in this position, if he has to have a deadline, he would better be 10,000 years

The phone rang, dragging President Su's thoughts back from his imagination to reality. He walked briskly to his desk and reached for the phone.

"President, I would like to report to you on some work, do you think it is convenient now?" Vice President Qiao's voice came from the phone, and when he heard that it was him calling, President Su shook his head and smiled bitterly, these Qiao Dashao did not run to his side, and every time it was for such a reason.

In fact, everyone knows what is going on, Qiao Dashao, or the new vice president Qiao, has been tossing a lot since he came to Huhai Bank, relying on the fact that he is an airborne soldier with a backstage, and several vice presidents, including Yao Liang, can't get together, and they have to toss something out. Not only that, this guy feels very good about himself, thinking that he will be the next candidate for the head of the bank as soon as President Su retires.

At the beginning, the reason why Governor Su agreed to arrange this guy was to see the face of his old superiors, and on the other hand, he also wanted to use this guy to contain the gradually expanding power of several other vice presidents, including Yao Liang, so that he could better grasp the overall situation in the bank. But who would have thought that this Qiao Dashao was simply overwhelmed, his eyes were low, his ability was insufficient, and his desire for power was particularly strong, and he used extremely clumsy means to compete for power with people after working in the industry for a long time, and he had no strategy at all, and even regarded himself as his successor, which made several vice presidents have great opinions about him.

Knowing this, he shouldn't have brought in this guy who had more than enough success and more than enough to lose, and President Su even felt that making this decision was the biggest failure since he became the head of the bank. It is precisely because of this guy that the current situation is more complicated.

"I have something to do now, tomorrow, I'll listen to your report in the office tomorrow afternoon." Governor Su was a little reluctant to see this Qiao Dashao, and really didn't want to listen to his nonsense anymore, so he hesitated.

"It's better today, Governor, I don't need long, just give me half an hour. President, didn't the secretary of the board just leave your side? How about I come over now? Who would have thought that Vice President Qiao was unrelenting, which made President Su's face sink suddenly.

Leaders must have the majesty of leadership, let alone themselves as the head president? Let him come back tomorrow, this guy is still like this, can't he hear the meaning of his words? Do you want to take over so blindly? Also, he actually told himself that the secretary had just left? What does this mean? Could it be that he has been secretly watching from the sidelines for a long time? Can't spy on yourself? This call made on purpose with time?

Although Governor Su is old, he is definitely not a mud ball that people can pinch casually, otherwise he would not have sat in this position for so many years. He immediately said in a stern tone: "Vice President Qiao, do I need your consent for my work arrangement?" Is the secretary of the board leaving, and what does this have to do with you? ”

"I ...... No, Governor, that's not what I mean....... Vice President Qiao on the other end of the phone was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly explained that he had no brains to hear the anger in President Su's words, and knew that he had just said the wrong thing.

"No need to explain, I still have something to do" Without waiting for the other party to say anything, President Su said coldly, and then hung up the phone.

After sulking for a while, President Su picked up the phone and dialed an internal line, and soon the phone was picked up over there.

"Lao Lin, it's me"

"Hello President......."

"You're not out today?"

"I'm about to go down there and have a look, what's wrong with you?" Vice President Lin asked respectfully on the phone.

Governor Su thought for a while and asked, "Where to go down there to see?" How is the itinerary arranged? ”

"Isn't it about the board of directors right away, there are some data in Su City that are slightly different from the summary, I was about to go over to verify it, and I just asked the driver team to arrange the car."

"It's going to Sioux City......." Governor Su's fingers tapped lightly on the edge of the table a few times, and then said, "That's it, I haven't been to Su City for a long time, and I just have time today, so you can accompany me to go over and have a look." ”

"No problem......." Vice President Lin replied without hesitation, and then paused and asked, "President, do you need to help you arrange it from Su City, and stay for two relaxations by the way?" ”

"You can arrange it, we'll meet downstairs in ten minutes." Governor Su happily agreed, and then hung up the phone.

Ten minutes later, President Su took the elevator down to the parking lot, and when they got out of the elevator, they saw that Vice President Lin and the driver had parked the car over there, and when they saw President Su coming, Vice President Lin hurriedly took a few steps forward to take President Su's handbag, and then opened the door door and helped him block the door frame with his hand to let him get into the car first, and then closed the door and ran to the other side.

Waiting for the driver to start the car and drive out of the parking lot, Vice President Lin whispered the specific itinerary of Jinsu City. After listening, President Su nodded with satisfaction, Vice President Lin is worthy of being his old subordinate, these arrangements are very much to his appetite, and he knows more clearly that he is actually just hiding quietly, rather than really going to inspect the work or something.

"Lao Lin, you have a heart, if everyone in the industry is like you, how much worry do I have to save" President Su patted Vice President Lin's hand and sighed.

"Look, isn't that what I'm supposed to do?" Vice President Lin smiled modestly.

Su City is not far from Huhai, Vice President Lin arranged for President Su to arrange a yacht club, is a club, in fact, is a high-end club, located on the edge of the lake, covers a huge area, and has a very standard golf course. Let the driver drive to send President Su here first, and Vice President Lin will go through the formalities for President Su after running, and wait for President Su to calm down before leaving. Moreover, before leaving, he also greeted the waiter of the club, asked him to take care of President Su's accommodation, and left his business card before leaving.

Governor Su saw all this. In fact, Vice President Lin has always done this, but the feeling of coming to President Su is different from the past.

In the eyes of President Su, Vice President Lin is his deputy, and he is also a more obedient deputy, although there are some flaws in personality, such as lack of courage, hesitation, etc., but the ability to work still has no choice. Perhaps because of his previous habits, President Su had never paid attention to some of Vice President Lin's advantages, but now, Vice President Lin was respectful to himself, and everything arranged before and after made President Su slightly moved, and he suddenly felt that if Vice President Lin was pushed to the position of his successor, it might not be a bad thing.

If you want qualifications, Vice President Lin has it, and if you want to talk about the status in the industry, he is also enough, and the ability is also possible. As for being a little weaker in terms of character, what is there about it? He is about to take a back seat, rather than choosing a person with a tough personality, it is better to choose someone like Vice President Lin to succeed him, at least even if he retires in the future, he can still maintain his influence in the industry

Thinking of this, President Su suddenly felt brightened, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, secretly calculating the pros and cons of this choice.

After staying in Su City for three consecutive years, President Su set off to return to Shanghai. As for when he was in Suzhou City, he took the opportunity to talk to Vice President Lin a few times, of course, these conversations could not be about work, but about daily life or something. However, in these conversations, Governor Su gradually strengthened his idea of selecting Vice President Lin as his successor, and this idea became more and more ingrained from the moment it appeared.

But the problem is that who his successor is is not President Su alone. This must be approved by the board of directors and reported to the CBRC and the People's Bank of China.

Huhai Bank is a commercial bank, but there can be no real commercial bank in China, because of the existence of state-owned assets, the China Banking Regulatory Commission and the People's Bank of China also have considerable management rights over Huhai Bank. In particular, the replacement of the head office must not be approved by these relevant departments, or at least there must be no clear opposition to it.

Governor Su is very clear about this. With his connections, it should not be difficult to deal with these relevant departments. What's more, Vice President Lin is also very suitable from the perspective of all aspects, isn't the country engaged in harmony at present, this kind of smooth transition is the factor of harmony, and it is still very likely to be passed unless there are special reasons for reporting.

The key issue is on the board of directors, which Governor Su is not very sure of. Although he is the president and chairman of the board, there is nothing he can do if such a major matter is vetoed by the board of directors. Especially considering the relationship between Zhou Liwen and Yao Liang, Governor Su should guard against Zhou Liwen's vote in this regard.

Therefore, in order to achieve the goal, it is necessary to obtain Zhou Liwen's support, but will Zhou Liwen support him? This Governor Su has no bottom in his heart, because he knows very well that Yao Liang is the target of Zhou Liwen's real support, and now he wants to replace the candidate with Vice President Lin, what kind of reaction will Zhou Liwen have?

After thinking about it, President Su still felt that he had to talk to Zhou Liwen in advance to reach an agreement. If he does not do so, if the proposal is rejected by the board of directors as soon as it is opened, he, the chairman and the president, will not be able to step down. But how to talk about it, this Governor Su also has to think about it in advance, because whether Zhou Liwen will give in or cooperate with him, the most important thing is how much benefit he can give Zhou Liwen, in vain, this is just an exchange of interests, there is no free lunch, if you want to get it, you must pay.
