Chapter 297: Entering the Bank of Kowloon
On February 4th, the Hong Kong New Year file is coming, the film "Plan A" produced by Oriental Entertainment was released, with the addition of the four leading cinemas of the Shan family, and the movie ticket price has risen sharply, the film won a box office of 1.22 million on the first day, shocking the entertainment industry, under the intentional guidance of Ye Tian, "Ming Pao", "Sing Tao Daily", "South China Morning Post", "Ta Kung Pao" and other aristocratic newspapers and periodicals have reported the news, and for a while, the legend of Ye Tian has also begun to circulate in the upper class.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Ye Tian began to take over the Qiu family industry, taking advantage of the low ebb of the stock price of Far Eastern Bank, Ye Tian took over 19.8% of the shares of Far Eastern Bank from Citibank in his private name, and secretly took over the remaining 7.5% of the shares in the name of Zhao Yuzhi, becoming the second largest shareholder.
On February 5, with the cooperation of Qiu Degen, Ye Tian served as the vice chairman of the board of directors and chief executive officer of the Far Eastern Bank Group, and he got such an important position at a young age, which naturally aroused the dissatisfaction of many people.
After the meeting dispersed, Ye Tian was at risk of being expelled.
"Knock knock!"
"Enter!"
"Mr. Ye, this is the resignation letter of Manager Liu and others!" The new secretary put a stack of envelopes in front of Ye Tian's desk, helped his glasses, and couldn't help but sigh, learning well is not as good as being a student, compared to the young Ye Tian, he has lived as a dog as a master of business administration at Harvard.
At a cursory glance, there were more than a dozen letters, Ye Tian looked up at his secretary Zhao Xin, and sneered: "Are they demonstrating to me!" β
Zhao Xinhui smiled formulaically, not to mention the former general manager, even he was not optimistic about Ye Tian, Qiu Degen first sent his son as a director, and after his son's accident. He also sent his nephew to manage the bank, which inevitably led to the suspicion of cronyism.
"Go and call them in!"
"Okay!"
"Wait!"
"Mr. Ye?"
Ye Tian took out a letter of resignation at random and said lightly: "Call them one by one, start with him!" β
Zhao Xin blinked and said, "Understood!" β
After a while, Zhao Xin came in with a lazy lady, Ye Tianxia subconsciously looked at the envelope, Yang Qimei, the former secretary of the general manager, can be described as the leader of this resignation turmoil!
"Miss Yang, please be seated!"
"Thank you!"
Zhao Xin took the opportunity to hand Ye Tian a document. Ye Tian flipped through it casually and showed an approving smile, this is Yang Qimei's file, such a secretary wants to have a clever force.
"Haha, Miss Yang is beautiful and has a high degree of education, Cambridge University!"
Yang Qimei smiled lightly: "Thank you Mr. Ye for your compliment, has my resignation letter been approved?" β
Ye Tian will look at the document to me. Yang Qimei has a family and a mouth, dragging children and daughters, I don't know what relationship she has with the former general manager Liu Yuming, Ye Tian naturally won't ask such a private question casually.
"Resign in such a hurry. Miss Yang has a new place to go? β
"Nope!"
Yang Yumei still had that smile, with a 'concise and clear' answer, quite a bit of ridicule, and ordered a lady's cigarette at random. He spat at Ye Tian with the 'aroma', and his contempt was shown on his face.
Ye Tian didn't think it was a pestle, but asked kindly: "Since Miss Yang has nowhere to go." Why quit? β
"Mr. Ye asked knowingly!"
"Miss Yang looks down on me!"
"What does Mr. Ye think?"
"I hate women who smoke!"
"Really?"
Yang Yumei seemed to be out of the way, and spat out the smoke again, showing quite stubbornness.
Ye Tian smiled faintly, signed Yang Yumei's resignation letter, and said lightly: "I'm not a man with a small belly, but I hate it when others challenge my authority, Yang Yumei, I remember you!" β
"Is Mr. Ye scaring me?"
"Stupid woman!"
"What did you say!"
Yang Yumei was stunned, facing Ye Tian's calm face, a feeling of unwillingness suddenly welled up in her heart, she knew that this was regret, her face was unwilling to admit defeat, picked up her bag, and left in style, she pinned her hopes on Liu Yuming, as long as Ye Tian was in an uneven situation, they would come back.
"Goodbye!"
"No goodbye!"
Ye Tian's eyes flashed with a cold light, killing chickens and setting an example for monkeys, unfortunately this woman became a chicken, and soon there was no place for her in the whole of Hong Kong!
"Mr. Ye?" Zhao Xin was full of ups and downs, and the first one ended in failure, he was afraid that Ye Tian would be angry with him, so he put all the files of the resignation in Ye Tian's hand and waited for dispatch.
Ye Tian carefully browsed the resignation candidates, looked at each person's file, and ordered: "Call me in executive director Liu Hongyi!" β
"Okay!"
Soon a middle-aged man came into the office, about forty years old, with a unique temperament, a suit and leather shoes, gold wire glasses on his face, and a black official bag.
Ye Tian gestured: "Please take a seat!" β
Liu Hongyi hesitated for a moment and said tentatively: "My resignation ......"
Ye Tian said with a smile: "Mr. Liu wants to resign, we don't need to be enemies, we can't be guests, we can also be friends, Mr. Liu has been in the business world so much, this truth should be better than me!" β
"What Mr. Ye said is true!" Liu Hongyi smiled calmly and sat down.
Ye Tiandao: "I have already approved Secretary Yang's resignation just now. β
Liu Hongyi has a sense of sadness that the rabbit is dead and the fox is sad, he is not as naΓ―ve as Yang Yumei, this collective resignation is to force Qiu Degen to comply, now it seems that it has not received any effect, Ye Tian is still in charge of the Far Eastern Bank, as long as Ye Tian is in control of the situation, they will never want to come back, it is easy to change jobs, but it is difficult to get the corresponding high position.
Ye Tian put Liu Hongyi's file aside, propped his elbows on the table, and asked: "Since Director Liu joined the board of directors, he has been relied on by the chairman, why is he resigning now?" β
Liu Hongyi pondered for a moment and shirked: "It's not because of work. β
Ye Tian got straight to the point and said, "Do you think I can't manage the bank well?" β
Liu Hongyi was silent.
Ye Tian said: "Your current treatment is an annual salary of three million, as well as dividends, various allowances and bonuses, in the eyes of ordinary people, you are a successful person, and you have a wife, children, a son studying in the UK, and a daughter studying in a Hong Kong aristocratic school." My wife works as a financial manager for a small company, and I'm not wrong. β
Liu Hongyi laughed at himself: "It seems that Mr. Ye knows me very well. β
Ye Tian gestured to the file at hand and said with a smile: "These are all prepared by the personnel department in advance, among these people, I don't think you need to resign!" β
Liu Hongyi said relaxedly: "Why? β
Ye Tian said lightly: "Your children are in college and middle school, all of which are when they need money, and your wife is actually an accountant, and the family depends on you to support you, so you resigned." What to feed them? β
Although Ye Tian said the central matter, Liu Hongyi still felt embarrassed and angry, and said bluntly: "I still have some savings, so I don't have to worry about Mr. Ye." β
Ye Tian said meaningfully: "What's the benefit of you following Liu Yuming, looking for a new owner?" Even if they find it, they'll reuse you rebels? Even if the new owner is willing to reuse Liu Yuming, how can you be sure that Liu Yuming will reuse you, a radish and a pit, and the people who want to resign here are all his henchmen. And you, Liu Hongyi, belong to the outermost one, what the end, hehe...... There are nothing more than three kinds, the first is that Liu Yuming keeps his promises. You are reused, but no matter how much Liu Yuming reuses you, it is impossible to put you in the position of executive director of the board of directors, because he does not have this right. This position is the chairman's henchman, and your new owner has so many henchmen, so it can't be your turn. Second, you are not reused, maybe Liu Yuming will give you a position for the sake of you running away, but are you satisfied with this position, a person who jumps jobs is going to Gao Zhi, but you jump lower and lower, hehehe, jump a few more times, I'm afraid you have to go to see the gate, this is a joke, of course, you have one last way out, that is, Liu Yuming doesn't take you seriously at all, then you are miserable, you have to start again......"
Liu Hongyi's face gradually became solemn, a layer of cold sweat precipitated on his forehead, as Ye Tian spoke, the cold sweat became more and more, although he knew that Ye Tian was fighting psychological warfare, he still lost, not to mention Ye Tian, he also thought about this, knowing that there was no way out with Liu Yuming, but he always had some stubborn thoughts, and now he was punctured by Ye Tian's words, he is now in a high position in the Far Eastern Bank, and his status ranks third or fourth among his accomplices.
Ye Tian played with the taste: "I think the most likely thing to happen is that you can't find a job, what do you think?" β
Liu Hongyi took out a handkerchief and wiped his cold sweat, he understood what Ye Tianqian meant, he didn't have the courage to start again, he adapted to a high position, and how to start again, most likely he kept picking jobs, kept giving up, wasted his time, and achieved nothing, this is not alarmist, the executive director who resigned from Far Eastern Bank and the executive director who resigned from HSBC are completely two different concepts, and the treatment is also very different.
Ye Tian pushed the resignation letter to the opposite side and said, "I can pretend that I didn't receive this letter, and!" If some of these people are really determined to resign, your position can still be promoted, maybe I persuaded these people, hehe...... I don't need to say the following words, choose a salary increase and promotion, or choose to leave, it's all in your thoughts! β
Liu Hongyi stood up with a complicated face, if these people don't resign, and he resigns, it will be the first fool, he bowed respectfully, and said softly: "Mr. Ye, I know what to do." β
"That's all?"
"Well, I'll go back and prepare a work report!"
"Good!"
Ye Tian smiled and waved his hand, and Liu Hongyi walked out, relieved.
"Mr. Ye!" Zhao Xin happily brought a glass of water over and persuaded Liu Hongyi, who was the executive director of Far Eastern Bank and belonged to the core of the management.
"Next...... Zhao Guihu! β
"Yes, Mr. Ye!"
Zhao Guihu is a man in his fifties, Liu Yuming is an absolute confidant, if this is settled, it will definitely give this group of people a wake-up call, and the unified defense line will be self-defeating, but judging from the archives, Zhao Guihu can't find any flaws, and it's strange to say that Zhao Guihu was just an ordinary manager in the Qiu Degen era.
Well, this guy is a business veteran and is proficient in negotiation.
"Mr. Ye, are you looking for me?"
"Sit down!"
Ye Tian signaled, Zhao Guihu sat down unceremoniously, and met Ye Tian's gaze without fear.
"Mr. Zhao wants to resign?"
"My resignation letter has made it very clear."
Ye Tian frowned secretly, this business-like attitude is the most difficult to deal with, this old man really doesn't get in with oil and salt!
After a moment of confrontation, his eyes lit up, and he realized that he had just overlooked a detail. Zhao Guihu's clothes are too festive, expensive suits, red ties, and leather shoes are also polished, the most obvious thing is: the hair wax on his head is touched, and the hairstyle is also carefully trimmed, this kind of dress is very normal in the entertainment industry, at such an age in a bank, Sao Bao can't be sao Bao anymore!
"People are in good spirits on happy occasions, this sentence is really good!" Ye Tian smiled and tentatively touched it.
Zhao Guihu smiled. happily said: "Hehe, it turns out that Mr. Ye also knows!" β
Sure enough, it's a happy event!
Ye Tian smiled: "Congratulations to Manager Zhao, I'll send a red envelope another day!" β
Stretching out his hand not to hit the smiling person, Zhao Guihu did not relax his vigilance, and refused with a smile: "No need, yesterday was my son's full moon wine, and after it has passed, Mr. Ye doesn't have to break the bank!" β
It turned out that he gave birth to a son, these things are easy to do, Ye Tian must be in his heart. The smile on his face was much more sincere.
"Manager Zhao has worked hard for the bank, for decades, and now that he is old and has a child, I should express my heart. Since Manager Zhao doesn't accept red envelopes, so be it, I have a house in Causeway Bay......"
"Mr. Ye, this can't be helped!" Zhao Guihu was surprised by Ye Tian's courage. As soon as it is sold, it is a real estate, Causeway Bay is a prosperous commercial area, and Rao is a continuous decline in housing prices. It still tops Hong Kong.
Ye Tian said with a smile: "It's so decided, Manager Zhao don't underestimate this house, judging from the current situation, the Sino-British negotiations are almost over, and the house price will rise soon, and when the little nephew grows up, the house price will rise to the sky, and you can't buy it if you want to!" β
Manager Zhao sneered: "I can't accept this even more!" β
Ye Tian squinted and said, "With a son, do you still plan to resign?" β
Zhao Guihu smiled bitterly: "Mr. Liu has the grace of knowing me, I can't betray him, especially at this time!" β
Ye Tian said disapplausively: "It is not Liu Yuming who has the grace of knowing you, but the Far Eastern Bank, without this platform, where can Liu Yuming bring you, and it is Mr. Qiu who has been paying you a salary, not him Liu Yuming, what do you owe him?" β
Qiu Degen?
Far Eastern Bank?
Zhao Guihu suddenly felt that what Ye Tian said made some sense, and suddenly woke up, it was not that what Ye Tian said was reasonable, but that he hesitated, and subconsciously accepted Ye Tian's statement, the birth of his son was a good thing, why is it at this juncture!
Ye Tian said quietly: "Manager Zhao also wants his son to consider it, I believe that Manager Zhao's family conditions were not good when he was a child, and it was sour...... Do you want your child to follow your old path? Or train the child to be an aristocratic elite, if it is the latter, then it must be made from now on, full-time nanny maids, tutors, etc., all of which cost money! β
If the family conditions are good, he will not waste his years in the Far Eastern Bank, and he will not show his head until he is fifty years old, Ye Tian is very confident, because Zhao Guihu has already hesitated.
Zhao Guihu did hesitate, he was fearless, even if he followed Liu Yuming from scratch, he admitted it, but his son was his only heart disease.
"Mr. Ye, I ......"
"Needless to say, as long as you promise to stay in the company, I will give you a raise." Ye Tian hurriedly stopped, Zhao Guihu frowned, there was a repeated trend, he thought about it, and changed his tone and said: "Executive Director Liu Hongyi has agreed to stay, if you stay, then I will give Liu Yuming a choice, as long as he is willing to stay, I can return the resignation to him!" β
Zhao Guihu's face changed, and even the last fig leaf, Ye Tian also thought about him.
Ye Tian put the resignation letter in Zhao Guihu's hand, and the man in his fifties actually cried, it was tears of shame.
"Secretary Zhao, help Manager Zhao go out to rest."
"Thank you, Mr. Ye, I don't have the face to see Mr. Liu, I want to be alone and quiet!"
β¦β¦
With the examples of Liu Hongyi and Zhao Guihu, it is much easier to surrender and rebel below, and even a project manager heard about Liu Hongyi and Zhao Guihu's 'deeds' and surrendered directly until the last Liu Yuming.
"Mr. Ye, I'll notify Liu Yuming to come over for trial!" Zhao Xin happily expressed his loyalty, subdued these high-level backbones, and said that this noble man had a firm foothold in the Far Eastern Bank.
Ye Tian signed the last resignation letter, and said lightly: "No need, let him get out!" β
Zhao Xin was dumbfounded and said, "Then you promised Manager Zhao?" β
Ye Tian was surprised, pretending not to know: "Did I promise him anything?" β
"I didn't ...... No! Zhao Xin suddenly felt that Ye Tian was so dark-bellied, and at the same time, he didn't dare to underestimate Ye Tian, Manager Zhao was so adult, he was sold and helped others count the money, and he still 'thank you' when he left.
For Qiu Degen's test, Ye Tian handed in a perfect answer.
In the morning, Qiu Degen held a meeting of senior executives, the room was full of noisy people, a group of people were split, in the afternoon it was Ye Tian's turn to preside over the meeting, the discipline was solemn, some people did not dare to take a breath, the newly issued personnel order, no one objected, and then submitted to the board of directors, which was also unanimously approved, Ye Tian and Qiu Degen united, the board of directors is a decoration.
The era of Far Eastern Bank Ye Tian has come, although it is risky, but Ye Tian is not afraid, and even plans to acquire the equity in Qiu Degen's hands, and then delist Far Eastern Bank for a period of time, and then reorganize and go public, the market value will definitely erupt, and it is a matter of time before it becomes a new generation of chaebols, but it is a pity that Hong Kong is destined to return, otherwise Ye Tian can also go to the Hong Kong government to apply for a money printing machine, it is terrifying to think about, because at that time, Ye Tian did not know what he would do.
At the beginning of his tenure, Ye Tian still reused Liu Hongyi, Zhao Guihu and other veterans to implement the policies of the Liu Yuming era and did not change them rashly, while Oriental Entertainment was not very optimistic, the box office of "Plan A" was blocked by "The Best Partner: The Queen's Secret Order", and the two engaged in a dragon fight, relying on the advantage of the cinema chain, it was worthy of a tie with Princess Jin, but Ye Tian didn't have the heart to care about this, because Qiu Degen appointed him as the CEO and director of the board of directors of Far East Hospitality Group, and Qiu Dachan has always regarded Far East Hospitality Group as a ban. Here, Ye Tian's prestige is seriously challenged. (To be continued.) )
