Brown had just dropped off Yao Liang, the representative of the Shanghai Bank, outside his luxurious office, and when he returned to the office, he took out his satellite phone from a drawer and dialed a number.

"I'm Brown" The phone rang a few times and then answered, and Brown spoke.

"What's the matter at such a late hour?" An old voice asked with a hint of weariness.

"Just a few minutes ago, the guy from BAVC Week just left my office."

"So he agreed to our terms?" The tiredness in the other party's voice was swept away, and he asked in a low voice.

Brown smiled bitterly and shook his head: "It's only half agreed, BAVC Zhou only took out his Huhai Bank channel, and the online bank we value the most, that is, Alipay, he only promised to use it as an intermediate platform during the promotion period." ”

After hearing this, the other party was silent for a while, and then asked, "In your opinion, can BAVC Zhou change its attitude, or can our original comprehensive plan be successfully implemented?" ”

"It's a little difficult." Brown sighed lightly: "I talked to BAVC Zhou in person, this person is smarter than I thought, maybe he has already seen the key point of our whole plan, but there is no final showdown." Now, I am afraid that the channel for him to take out Huhai Bank is already his bottom limit, and Alipay's platform is running into the whole program, which is too risky for him. Of course, if we put pressure on the government, it is not ...... know that he will change his attitude. ”

"This can't work" The other party vetoed Brown's proposal, and said very sternly: "BAVC Zhou is not an ordinary person, he has no less power behind him than ours, if you make things too complicated, you will mess up this deal." Brown, you have to understand that we are businessmen, financiers, not robbers, and these methods can be used or not. ”

"Yes sir, I see." Brown nodded hurriedly, but secretly cursed in his heart that the other party wanted to be a bitch and set up an archway. This kind of trick is not unheard of for them, and they don't know how many times they used to be like robbers, but now it is necessary to dress themselves up like pure angels as soon as they turn around

Then again, if Zhou Liwen didn't have his huge business empire, coupled with the support of Cisco and Fuguo behind him, would he still need to talk about cooperation with Goldman Sachs' consistent strength? Isn't it enough to directly force the other party to participate?

Originally, according to Goldman Sachs' plan, their main target was not Shanghai Bank, but Zhou Liwen's Alipay, which is currently China's first online bank. Goldman Sachs has analyzed internally that after Alipay obtains an online banking license, its users have been further expanded, and from the perspective of overall users and daily capital flow, it has exceeded the scale of ordinary commercial banks. If Alipay participates in the process of local debt issuance, this is a very good platform for the overall plan. But now Zhou Liwen did not agree to use Alipay as an operating platform, but proposed to use Huhai Bank as the basis, and Alipay is just a promotion platform, which disappointed Brown.

In Brown's view, Zhou Liwen obviously distrusts Goldman Sachs by doing this, and coupled with the importance of Alipay in Zhou Liwen's heart, he is also unwilling to invest the risky project in Alipay, so as to share the risk for Goldman Sachs. Huhai Bank is different, although Zhou Liwen has secretly controlled Huhai Bank through a series of means, but on the surface, Huhai Bank is still a Chinese commercial bank, which is very different from Alipay's equity nature. If there is a real risk, whether it is for the local or the country, it will be different in terms of policies and regulations in the face of a commercial bank that is nominally Chinese.

"Since BAVC Week has made such a decision, then we have to use the backup plan. Brown, you should get in touch with a couple of other commercial banks in China as soon as possible, and if possible, with the big four state-owned banks. You know, there are quite a few consortiums staring at this project, and although we at Goldman Sachs are the first to intervene, we will also be replaced if we are not careful. Those Chinese officials are not fuel-efficient lamps, and although they are greedy, they are not fools, especially when it comes to money. ”

"I'll arrange it right away, please rest assured." Brown promised, and after a few more conversations, he hung up.

Ten minutes after Brown hung up the phone, Zhou Liwen listened to Yao Liang report to him at his home. Yao Liang reported to Zhou Liwen in detail the results of his negotiations with Brown, and took out the preliminary agreement document reached by the two parties. Zhou Liwen took it and put it aside casually, this thing will eventually be reviewed by the professionals in the team, according to his arrangement, the people sent by the United States will arrive in Huhai in a few days, and they will assist Yao Liang in handling this matter when the time comes.

"I won't interfere too much in this matter, the specific work is still handled by you, and the team will naturally cooperate with you, and you can just give me the record and sign after the overall plan comes out." Zhou Liwen commanded lightly.

"Brother Zhou, don't worry, I will definitely arrange this matter, if there is any problem, I will communicate with you directly by phone...... Yao Liang nodded very energetically, he was extremely optimistic about this project, and he was also very aware of the breadth of the money. Now Zhou Liwen has made him fully responsible, which makes Yao Liang's heart bloom.

"That's it, tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, the team from the United States will continue to come over, and I won't come forward for the specific work, and you will coordinate with each other."

"Okay, okay." Yao Liang rubbed his hands happily, only to feel that the blood in his whole body was boiling.

Looking at him like this, Zhou Liwen only felt funny in his heart, if he knew the real purpose of his arrangement, he didn't know if Yao Liang would be able to laugh. Of course, Zhou Liwen's intention in doing this was just to find a stand-in for the time being, so as not to implicate him in the future. Although, Zhou Liwen himself knows very well that local debts are inevitable, it is also possible to turn over old accounts in the future, and there are too many greasy and illegal places in local debts like this. This is also the main reason why Goldman Sachs is trying to pull itself into the same camp, and with the shrewdness of Goldman Sachs, they certainly want to minimize the risk.

Originally, Zhou Liwen planned to stay in Shanghai for a few more days, but because of this incident, Zhou Liwen decided that it would be better to leave as soon as possible. After the U.S. team arrived, Zhou Liwen went to Heung Kong to deal with the spin-off and reorganization project of Heung Kong Telecom, and then returned to the U.S. directly from Heung Kong.

The spin-off and reorganization of Heung Kong Telecom has begun when Zhou Liwen returned to Shanghai, and with the cooperation of Richard, the work is going very smoothly, but the divestiture of some assets and the division of shares still need a lot of tedious work, which is of course done by professionals, Zhou Liwen only needs to look at the data report or something, and then sign some documents.

Therefore, the purpose of his visit to Xiangjiang was ostensibly as he claimed, but in fact he deliberately avoided the troubles of Shanghai. After arriving in Xiangjiang, Zhou Liwen and Richard met, and the two sides chatted about the work of spin-off and reorganization, and then rested for two days before leaving directly by private jet.

"Why are you in such a hurry this time?" In the private club, Richard turned the red wine in his hand and asked Zhou Liwen with some doubts, he originally planned to call Zhou Liwen to go out fishing together again, and the last trip would have been very complete if it hadn't been for the Bai Fugui incident later. Therefore, this time he was going to go to sea again and have a good leisure, who thought of mentioning it to Zhou Liwen, Zhou Liwen shook his head and said that he would not stay in Xiangjiang for much time, and he would rush back to the United States soon.

"There are a lot of things going on in the United States, and OR's new mobile phone has been finalized, and the laboratory has urged me several times to go back and make a decision." Of course, Zhou Liwen would not tell Richard about the local debt, so he made an excuse casually. But his excuse is not false, the new generation of smart phones has indeed been finalized, compared with the or mobile phones currently sold on the market, the performance of the new smart phones has been further improved, and Zhou Liwen also took into account the requirements of selfies, deliberately let ...

The company's R&D department has added a frontal HD camera to the new mobile phone. This is much better than the historical Apple mobile phone.

In addition, the new OR mobile phone has a lot higher than the old one in terms of chip degree and memory, including battery capacity, and the overall performance is more group. However, in terms of total cost, because of the progress of science and technology in recent years, the cost has decreased a lot, which means that after the listing, the product profit of the OR company will go further.

When Richard heard this, he immediately became interested, and hurriedly asked, "When will it be listed?" When the time comes, remember to give me a commemorative edition. ”

"Hehe, it's estimated that it will be a few months before it goes on the market, but the commemorative edition is no problem, do you want a gold case or a diamond? It's all in one sentence. ”

"I'm not a tyrant in the Middle East, why should I be so ostentatious?" Richard shook his head and smiled: "Ordinary ones are fine, at most, the shell is to choose a titanium alloy alloy for me, and then put a restricted number code." I went out with gold and diamonds, and I was afraid that I would accidentally lose it. ”

"Understated luxury? Hehe, good taste" Zhou Liwen gave him a thumbs up. Richard smiled, and just as he wanted to say something, Zhou Liwen's mobile phone on the side suddenly rang.

"Lao Guo? What's up? He took the number, and after connecting, Zhou Liwen asked.

"Where are you?" Guo Tao asked urgently on the phone: "I'm at the door of your Xiangjiang house now, why aren't you at home?" ”

"Why are you going to my door? Richard and I were drinking at the clubhouse, what? Something? Zhou Liwen said strangely.

"Nonsense, if it's okay, I'll find you, which club? I'll come over right away," Guo Tao asked urgently on the phone.

It sounded that Guo Tao was looking for himself very urgently, Zhou Liwen put away the smile on his face, told him the address here, and before he had time to ask what he was looking for, Guo Tao hung up the phone.

"Is it Boss Guo?" Of course, Richard, who was on the side, knew Guo Tao, and he also heard the phone call just now, so he couldn't help but ask.

Zhou Liwen nodded and said, "This guy is not too young and so rough, and he doesn't know what to look for me, so he will come over after a while." ”

"Do you want me to stay away?" Richard asked.

Zhou Liwen thought for a while and nodded: "Okay, I guess he has something important, it's better for me to talk to him alone, I'm sorry Richard, I'll find you for a drink another day." ”

"My brother is still saying this, it's not too early, I'll go first, bye-bye"

"Bye-bye"

Not long after Richard left, that is, about ten minutes, Guo Tao came in a hurry.

"Why are you here? Let me find it" sat down next to Zhou Liwen, Guo Tao took a few tissues from the table and wiped his sweat.

"Talk to Richard about something, what's wrong with you? Sweaty in a hurry? How did you end up in Hong Kong? Zhou Liwen poured him a glass of ice water and asked strangely.

After taking a few sips of ice water, he wiped his mouth Guo Tao and said, "I came to Xiangjiang specifically to find you."

"Looking for me? What can't you say on the phone? By the way, what are you looking for me? ”

"Of course there is something, and it's not a trivial matter" Guo Tao said eagerly: "Lao Sha has an accident"

"Lao Sha? Sha Zihao? Something happened to him? How did I not know? What the hell is going on? Zhou Liwen was stunned when he heard this, and hurriedly asked.

"What happened just now, and if I hadn't happened to be in Pengcheng and hurried here, maybe I would have been invited back to investigate, *** What kind of is this, it's just a fire at the city gate and the fish in the pond, it's just unlucky" Guo Tao said very depressedly, and Zhou Liwen was even more shocked when he heard it, and hurriedly asked what was going on.

lit a cigarette and took a hard puff, Guo Tao opened his mouth to tell the story, the more Zhou Liwen listened, the more he frowned, and when he heard the end, he slapped the table angrily and scolded: "What's going on with this old sand?" With the money he has now, he still does this? It's just dizzy."

"Don't blame Lao Sha, he was also blinded, don't you know this guy? I've always been timid and afraid, but I don't believe that no one will instigate him to be killed behind such a big courage this time. And what's even worse is that this matter also involves Guo's family, just now there was news from Huacheng, and the customs and national tax have asked Guo's to cooperate with the investigation. ”

"Bastard" Zhou Liwen scolded angrily, and he didn't know whether to scold Sha Zihao or Guo Tao, maybe both. Seeing Zhou Liwen's angry look, Guo Tao's face was not good-looking, after all, this matter had something to do with him, although he was not very responsible, but it was still a little troublesome to implicate the company.

Hearing what happened to him, where did Zhou Liwen still have the heart to drink? immediately picked up the phone and called Pang Yishan, asking him to go to his house to meet immediately.

Hanging up the phone, Zhou Liwen got up and took Guo Tao to rush home, and when he got home, Pang Yishan was already waiting in the living room. is not polite, Zhou Liwen sat down and said directly to Pang Yishan: "Do you know that Guo and Lao Sha have a problem?" ”

"Something? Issue? What's the situation? Pang Yishan was also stunned, and looked at Guo Tao.

Guo Tao hurriedly told Pang Yishan about what he had told Zhou Liwen before, and Pang Yishan's face was grim after hearing this, and he immediately picked up the phone and called the people from the Huacheng Office. When the other party picked up the phone, he scolded him, and then asked the people from the Huacheng office to immediately rush to the Guo headquarters and hand over to the remaining personnel of the Guo headquarters.

"I'm sorry Jay Chou, this is my job not done well." After arranging the matter, Pang Yishan bluntly took responsibility and apologized to Zhou Liwen.

"It doesn't matter about Lao Pang, I panicked for a while and didn't have time to inform Lao Pang." Guo Tao explained for Pang Yishan on the side.

Zhou Liwen glared at him fiercely: "You still take responsibility for others?" Think about yourself as such a big deal, how did you become the chairman? ”

Guo Tao was scolded by these words and didn't dare to answer a word, and hung his head with a depressed look.

"It's no wonder that Mr. Guo is talking about this, and from my point of view, Guo's problem is not big, at most it is a result of lax verification, and when the time comes, the penalty will be fined, and it will be over if you admit your mistake. Mr. Guo, in my opinion, you should rush back immediately tomorrow, if you are not there at this time, it will complicate things. Of course, don't worry, I will accompany you to Huacheng and make sure you are okay. ”

"Are you really okay?" Guo Tao asked with some concern.

Pang Yishan nodded and said: "At most, you are cooperating with the investigation, you are only the carrier and not the main person in the case, what are you worried about?" If you don't show up, it's really okay."

"That's good, that's good......." Guo Tao, who had palpitations, breathed a sigh of relief and patted his chest for relief.

Then, Pang Yishan turned to Zhou Liwen and said, "However, Lao Sha's problem is serious. Arbitrage in the form of entrepot trade coupled with export tax fraud is a serious crime in China. Dong Chou, you have to be mentally prepared, if you don't get Lao Sha to eat a lawsuit, it may also affect the operation of OR's foundry. ”

Zhou Liwen nodded silently, Pang Yishan was right, Sha Zihao was really dizzy this time, wouldn't it be good to do his foundry well, inexplicably engaged in foreign exchange arbitrage in the form of entrepot trade, and also had the audacity to engage in export tax fraud. What's more serious is that the relationship between Sha Zihao and OT companies, including Guo's, is not a secret, once this matter is spread and used by people with intentions to splash sewage on himself, it will be difficult for Zhou Liwen to make the outside world believe the truth.

Before, Guo Tao guessed that Sha Zihao was blinded, and Zhou Liwen did not have a specific investigation and could not be sure for the time being, but he knew that Sha Zihao's character was indeed a timid and fearful guy, and with his personality, if no one instigated him, he would not have the courage to do this kind of thing at all. And this matter is big or small for Zhou Liwen, and what the situation is has to be investigated to know. Even Zhou Liwen felt a taste of conspiracy in it, maybe things are not as simple as they seem.

Thinking of this, Zhou Liwen put his concerns and Pang...

Yishan spoke, and Pang Yishan frowned slightly after hearing it: "Dong Zhou, what you think about makes sense." That's it, don't be tomorrow, we'll leave for Huacheng now, you wait for my news, and I'll give you a preliminary judgment tomorrow afternoon at the latest. ”

"Okay" Zhou Liwen got up, and then said: "I'll ask Carl to drive you over, and it's more convenient to have him with you." Lao Guo, please ask Lao Pang on the way, understand? ”

Guo Tao understood what Zhou Liwen meant, and hurriedly nodded in agreement.
