Chapter 173: Is it tolerable, or is it intolerable?
The most prosperous place in Suzhou is not in the city, but in Qili Shantang Street outside the Changmen.
Shantang Street is named after the river, Shantang River is connected to the Jiangnan Canal in the west and Changmen in the east, which is the traffic artery between Suzhou and the Grand Canal. Naturally, the mountains of dwelling goods, the clouds and water, the signboards, the brilliant clouds, are really the world's first-class prosperous and wealthy land.
The headquarters building of Jiangnan Group is built on Shantang Street, which is two miles away from Changmen, covering an area of 36 acres.
Since the beginning of last year, Jiangnan Group began to purchase land and demolish the old and start construction, which has taken shape at this time. The three-storey row of terraces facing the street has been roofed and workers are painting the faΓ§ade.
Surrounded by a group of group management, Jiang Xueying came to inspect the construction progress early in the morning. Including her, everyone wore rattan helmets on their heads in accordance with the safety rules set by Zhao Gongzi.
President Jiang has an unusual interest in this headquarters building, which has been infused with the efforts of himself and his brother.
At the end of the first month, she came to inspect the progress of the construction after the Chinese New Year, which had just ended a nearly three-month contract tour around Taihu Lake. And she is very demanding, and she must fully express the design of the drawings. Anything that gets sloppy will be asked to rework.
This made Mr. Wen Shui, who was in charge of the construction of the headquarters, feel a lot of pressure, he was almost seventy years old, and he was staring at the construction site all day long, lest the workers be lazy and let the president catch the shortcomings.
Speaking of which, Mr. Wen Shui is the second son of Wen Zhengming, a famous painter of the Wuzhong School of painting, and a famous person in the south of the Yangtze River.
No way, Zhao Gongzi really gave too much. Baume & Mercier can also be used as a contractor.
After looking at the front row of buildings, Mr. Wen Shui, supported by his son, took Jiang Xueying through the lobby that was being renovated.
There is also a row of three-story buildings in the back, parallel to the front row of buildings, more than a hundred meters apart. The two rows of buildings are connected by a two-storey promenade on the central axis.
This is the commonly used form of court architecture in the Tang and Song dynasties, and the two halls before and after it are connected by corridors, called the 'I-shaped hall', also called the axis house.
Among the various plans presented by Mr. Wen Shui and others, Zhao Hao fell in love with this magnificent structure at a glance and can make full use of the space. In the corridor on the central axis alone, there are eighty-eight spacious offices available.
And it is important that there is no small family spirit of the traditional Jiangnan Literati Artificial Garden.
However, Mr. Wen Shui still insisted on creating a garden of seven or eight acres in the west courtyard of the axis house. The reason is also very sufficient, since it is called 'Jiangnan' Group, how can there be no garden in the headquarters?
Chairman Hua and President Jiang both agreed with this. Besides, the headquarters also needs a place for employees to rest and relax, so Zhao Hao nodded and agreed.
However, the east courtyard still built a luxurious canteen that can accommodate 2,000 people according to his intentions...... Although at present, the group headquarters has only about 100 employees.
At this time, even the basic civil engineering is not over, let alone soft decoration and garden nature. The whole construction site looked gray and dusty, with no bright spots, but Jiang Xueying looked very carefully.
The reason is very simple, everyone can see the exterior part of the project at a glance, and I believe that no one dares to fool it. However, there are quality problems in the internal engineering, and once it is covered by the exterior, it can no longer be found in a short time.
She didn't want her brother and her headquarters to be ruined. It must go through the wind and rain and stand tall for a hundred years!
'It's like, it's like ......' President Jiang didn't know what to think, and his little face under the helmet suddenly turned red. It seems that only when she thinks of Zhao Hao, she will have a performance that is in line with her actual age.
Suddenly, a rush of footsteps interrupted her reverie.
Jiang Xueying took a deep breath and recovered her cold appearance, only then did she look back and see her director of the president's office, Mi Li, sweating profusely.
Mi Li is Uncle Mi's daughter, don't look at the name so delicate, but she is in her thirties. She died when she was born, and she grew up on the boat with her father, and she was used to fighting and killing, and she didn't start a family after getting off the boat, so she always followed her father and worked in Wu Ji's carriage and horse business.
At present, the group is grass-roots and understaffed, so Jiang Xueying asked her to come over and be the director of the president's office. The director of the president's office is responsible for docking with the group's companies, supervising the president's explanation of various matters, and tracking the completion of the group's plans.
At this time, she came in person, and she was in a hurry like this, something big must have happened.
"Let's get here today." Jiang Xueying nodded to Mr. Wen Shui and said, "Good job, keep up the good work." β
"Hey, okay." Mr. Wen Shui's heart fell to the ground. I have only heard a good word from the mouth of this picky president today.
Then he retreated with everyone's interest and did not disturb the president.
"What's the matter?" Jiang Xueying frowned slightly and looked at the rice grains.
"Miss, I received a letter from Xuzhou Flying Pigeon, and our branch over there has been maliciously squeezed!" Mi Li presented the deciphered pigeon book with both hands.
Xiao Yun'er hurriedly took it and handed it to the young lady.
Jiang Xueying unfolded the note and glanced at it, but there was no surprise on her face, and she only smiled faintly: "Don't worry, everything is expected by my brother." β
"Ahh Mi Li couldn't close her mouth in surprise. "Expected?"
She, the director of the president's office, didn't know about it?
"This is a matter decided by the Strategic Decision-making Committee and has only been reported to the board level." Jiang Xueying explained, then handed the piece of paper to Mi Li and said: "Immediately notify the directors of the group to attend the temporary board of directors at the head office." β
"Yes." Mi Li put away the piece of paper close to his body, and immediately turned around and went out to interrogate.
"Let's go back too." Jiang Xueying took a deep look at the group's construction site, and then returned to Suzhou City with Xiao Yun'er.
~~
The members of the board of directors of the group, except for the elderly chairman in Wuxi, and Zhao Gongzi went on business, the rest happened to be in Suzhou.
Hua Bozhen naturally became the owner of Xishan Island. Wang Mengxiang is also the chairman of Jiangnan Development Corporation and is also based in Suzhou. Wang Shimao and Yu Ben, secretary of the board of directors, are both members of the 'Remuneration and Rank Committee', and various employee ratings, professional title examinations, and textbook approvals are ...... The busy two are anxious, and they can't do without Suzhou.
In the afternoon of the same day, the members of the board of directors of the group in Suzhou gathered at the head office of Jiangnan Bank in Leqiao to listen to Jiang Xueying's report on the run on the Xuzhou branch.
In the past half a day, Jiang Xueying has received further reports from Xuzhou, and it can already be determined that it is Hengtong Ji who took the lead in the run!
When the directors heard this, they were naturally furious. They have always bullied others, but this time they actually made a move!
Is it tolerable, or is it intolerable? Uncle can bear it, and aunt can't bear it either!
"These people have a lot of brains!" Wang Mengxiang slapped the table angrily and said: "We think about them everywhere, and in order to keep their jobs, we can even reduce the shipping to 100,000 stones." They dared not agree, and they used off-the-board tricks with us! β
"yes, that's too much." Hua Bozhen also said indignantly: "There is a way that people respect me for a foot, and I respect people for a foot." Why did they become shameless? β
"If it weren't for Childe's preparation, we would have to suffer a big loss this time!" Wang Shimao sighed with fear on his face for a while, and asked with an incredulous face: "How could Gongzi expect that they would use this hand against us?" β
"Brother doesn't guess." Sitting in the second chair, Jiang Xueying explained with honor: "Instead, it uses a science called 'money and banking'. β
"Money and Banking?" The directors seemed to understand and said, "What do you know about banks?" β
"Banks are only part of the story." Jiang Xueying said with admiration in her eyes: "According to the knowledge imparted by my brother, I set up a risk control department in Jiangnan Bank, and sent vice presidents in charge of risk management to all branches. One of the important tasks of these vice presidents is to statistically observe the changes in the various accounts of the branches and detect abnormal conditions. β
Saying that, she smiled slightly, and the ice and snow melted and said: "Since the beginning of the year, various branches in Jiangnan have reported one after another, and there are new depositors in various places who have deposited large sums of current deposits. β
"Our bank fixed deposits pay interest, and it is not troublesome to convert them to current accounts on a regular basis, so depositors generally choose fixed deposits for large amounts." Knowing that the directors didn't know much about the bank, she further explained:
"There are usually only two situations where a saver will opt for a current account. The first is to use the money in the near future, and the second is to prepare to go to other places to withdraw the money...... This is because only demand deposits support foreign exchange. β
"If one or two people do this, it's good to say, dozens of people deposit more than one million taels of current deposit silver at the same time, no matter which possibility it is, it will attract the attention of the risk control department." Jiang Xue greeted and said, "In February, more than one million taels have been deposited, and we have completely concluded that someone is going to be unfavorable to us." β
"Every depositor has detailed information to stay in the bank, and there must be a guarantor to open an account, and it doesn't take much effort to find out, these people have such and such a relationship with Hengtongji and the shopkeeper of Song." She finally explained: "The former boss asked people to deposit money in Jiangnan Bank, of course, not to help us rise. What Hengtongji and Song Da's shopkeeper are going to do is about to come out. β
Only then did everyone barely understand, but their hearts were even more shocked.
Who is Song Xiaoming? That is the business wizard who has controlled Hengtong for 30 years, ousted Wanyuan from the throne of the leading boss, and is known as 'one person presses the whole emblem'. Although their Zhao Gongzi and President Jiang are undoubtedly business wizards, they are a little tender compared to the old and spicy Song Da shopkeeper.
So in February, when Jiang Xueying informed the board of directors that Hengtongji might maliciously run Jiangnan Bank a few months later, the directors actually didn't believe it. After all, Song Da's shopkeeper's methods are so clever, how could he be discovered by the little girl a few months before the launch?
Isn't that scientific......
At this point, however, the original prophecy came true. The famous Song Xiaoming was really seen through by the two dolls whose age was not as big as him.
