Ten miles of ocean, a hundred years of the Bund.

The largest financial miracle in Asia, Far Eastern Bank, has its headquarters in Greater China at Five on the Bund, a building that combines modern Japanese Western architecture with classical architectural styles. The granite walls outside the building already have a sense of historical vicissitudes, but the people who come in and out are in high spirits.

Founded just eight years ago, this private bank has 113 branches and 943 sub-branches in more than 110 cities in Chinese mainland, 1 branch-level franchise institution (credit card center), and 2,330 self-service banks. It also has 85 branches and 1,520 self-service banks in 74 large and medium-sized cities in Russia; It has a large number of branches in Hong Kong, Taiwan, Indonesia, the Philippines, Malaysia and other countries (regions), with one branch (Hong Kong branch), and a New York branch and representative office in the United States.

In addition, Far Eastern Bank wholly owns Far Eastern Bank Financial Leasing Co., Ltd. and Far Eastern Fund Management Co., Ltd. in Russia, holds 50% equity of Far Eastern Life Insurance Co., Ltd., and wholly-owned Far Eastern Bank and Far Eastern International Capital Co., Ltd. in Hong Kong.

However, as the competent authority of the mainland's financial industry, the CBRC only knows that the net capital of the domestic part of Far Eastern Bank is 310.5 billion yuan, and the total assets have reached 500 million yuan. As for this private bank, the real net capital and total assets are a mystery to the CBRC, who only knows that if all its information is made public, Far Eastern Bank may be, and may be, the largest private commercial bank in Asia.

……

'Knock knock', a few knocks on the door, interrupting the conversation between the Sun Tzu Ming brothers and the guests.

"Come in"

"Mayor Zheng is good, Secretary Zhang is good."

Sun Lei, who was in a suit and leather shoes, pushed the door in, and first exchanged a few words with the two guests, and then said with a smile: "Fifth uncle, all the instruments and equipment have left the customs and are being transported to Hunan Province." The people from Jingshi University asked me to tell you that Principal Gao asked you to urge the United States to ship the customized batch of graphing calculators as soon as possible, and the school is waiting to use them. ”

This is a big deal, as long as it involves the things of the world, it is a big thing, Sun Ziming hurriedly sued the guest, picked up the phone and yelled at the old cowboy of Texas Instruments.

“…… Henry, I don't care about your bullshit, I just know that what you promised to sponsor me didn't arrive! If you talk to me again, don't talk about the placement of Transformers! …… Okay, okay, you can transport it to me by plane, and I'll pay for the freight!

Henry, I'm telling you, you're a bitch. Even tens of thousands of dollars are taken care of, no wonder you can only be a vice president, not a president! ”

How can the officials in the ten-mile field not understand English? Sun Ziming put down the phone, saw the two guests looking at him in surprise, and quickly explained: "I'm sorry, I have a cooperative relationship with Texas Instruments, and I'm used to scolding them." You may not know that Texans are so virtuous, and if you don't be fierce to them, those guys will look down on you. ”

Texas Instruments? This word made Vice Mayor Zheng excited, and they are competing with Peking and Guangzhou for the location of Texas Instruments' Greater China headquarters. If they can win their headquarters to settle in Shanghai, it is very likely to bring a large number of multinational high-tech enterprises to settle in Shanghai. More importantly, Texas Instruments is an important provider of mobile phone chips and network systems, and if they can settle their Greater China headquarters in Shanghai, the sales tax in this area alone will be billions in the future, and it will be a long-term tax source.

Compared with this matter, the matter of lobbying for the location of the new factory of Hanhua Electronics can be put aside. Just by virtue of Zhang Tao's relationship with them, he came here to go through the motions and contact his feelings.

After listening to Vice Mayor Zheng's kind words, Sun Ziming smiled bitterly: "Mayor Zheng, you are embarrassing me. Don't look at me, I have a good relationship with them, but when it comes to business, those people only recognize interests and don't recognize people. ”

Vice Mayor Zheng, who knew that the king of Hades was easy to see and the little ghosts were difficult, gave Zhang Tao a look, and hurriedly said: "That's for sure, we will talk according to the business rules." As long as you talk in the middle, don't let other factors affect fair play.

Hey, Mr. Sun, I won't tell you anything. Those Americans are easy to deal with, but they are the troubles of the 'leading party' they invited! ”

'Leading the way'? Sun Ziming couldn't help but laugh, this was still a joke when he was talking to He Qiangguo at the beginning, but he didn't expect it to become popular so quickly. However, the Chinese executives of those foreign-funded enterprises do hate it, and often rely on their familiarity with the national conditions, not only to maximize the interests of foreign masters, but also often to mix personal interests.

Zhang Tao, who asked his boss to be a lobbyist, saw Sun Ziming smiling, glared at him, and scolded with a smile: "Okay, okay, do you want to pay your royalties?" Do you have any control over my leader's intentions?"

Although Sun Ziming has been mixing abroad for a long time, the domestic people are still practiced, and he hurriedly said: "Get out!" Mayor Zheng's instructions, how dare we discount them? Mayor Zheng, don't worry, when the sponsored equipment arrives, I will accompany you to visit their Greater China president, and by the way, invite their boss to our school to participate in the donation ceremony. ”

Vice Mayor Zheng was overjoyed, hurriedly thanked him, and sighed: "Mr. Sun, the newspapers say that you are difficult to deal with, I really didn't expect you to be so approachable." ”

Sun Tzu knew that the deputy mayor from Beiping was a classmate of the big man from the Ministry of Education, and he also joked: "Leader, I don't like to hear this." If a leader of your size can come to see our brothers, he can afford to look down on our brothers. We are very easy to deal with, but it is within the scope of our ability, we will help those who can help, and those who can't help will also change our ways to help. ”

This made Vice Mayor Zheng feel very comfortable to listen to, and he also understood the subtext of others, the last time he refused his old classmate to speak at the ceremony, it touched the bottom line of others. People spent tens of billions of dollars to run schools, and at that time, they also alarmed the highest authorities, because they didn't want to be involved by political forces and wanted to give students a free environment to study. It's not difficult, the next time I'm with Lao Zhang, just help someone explain it. As for Chief Li and Minister Zhong, they can't help themselves.

Vice Mayor Zheng, who reached a tacit understanding quietly, laughed and said: "Mr. Sun is too polite, if it weren't for the fact that the leaders were afraid of affecting your career abroad, they would have been my leader a long time ago." ”

This is not true, Huo Ye is the vice chairman of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, and he has not seen that officials from all over the country really regard him as a national leader, at most he mentioned in the news that the old man came to inspect the work. Sun Ziming snorted, and when he saw that he was about to get off work, he didn't follow the topic down, and said with a smile: "Leader, let's have dinner together in the evening?" We just want to report to you on the construction of the Far East Tower. ”

If there is no other important matter, Vice Mayor Zheng really wants to have a meal with Sun Ziming and have a good relationship, but unfortunately it can't be done today, so he has to regret it: "Mr. Sun, I will invite you and Mr. Sun to dinner tomorrow, but today is really not good." There's an important guest in Peking, and I have to go and receive it. Secretary Zhang, you can help me entertain Mr. Sun and Mr. Sun, they are our distinguished guests. ”

Zhang Tao hurriedly said with a smile: "Don't worry, leader, I will do what you instructed, if you can't get the new factory, I won't let them get off the table." ”

Vice Mayor Zheng patted Zhang Tao's shoulder with satisfaction, and if he has a relationship, he will be able to use it. Otherwise, he is a member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee and the executive deputy mayor, how can he take a deputy secretary of the district party committee in his eyes?
