Chapter 16: The Comeback
1
In order to support Zhao Haiying to start over, Qian Chunsheng took out 3 million yuan, saying that he would repay the money, but the amount far exceeded the money that Zhao Haiying had lent him. Zhao Haiying knew Qian Chunsheng's intentions in his heart, but it seemed hypocritical to say too much, and the feelings between the brothers were all in plain sight.
Zhao Haiying took the 3 million as his starting capital for a new start and rented an office building on Lujiazui Commercial Street.
The office is spacious and bright, with floor-to-ceiling windows looking out of the Pudong Bund, which is very well lit, and the rooms are neatly packed with work cubicles. What he didn't expect was that the first guest in the office was Ma Yi.
Ma Yi, who was dressed in a suit, was full of energy and red light, and he couldn't tell that he had just experienced such a big storm. Ma Yi did not come empty-handed this time, he brought two gifts to Zhao Haiying: one was a check, which was used as a commission for Zhao Haiying to connect the North Group and the Shanghai Iron and Steel Trading Center; And another gift that surprised Zhao Haiying was Ma Yi himself.
"I've resigned, and now I'm coming to you with my belongings."
Zhao Haiying originally thought that after the previous incident, the directors of the Northern Group would no longer blame Ma Yi, but he didn't expect this to be the case, and he didn't know what to say for a while.
Unexpectedly, Ma Yi's face was full of light, saying that it was not the Northern Group that wanted to dismiss him, but that he took the initiative to resign. After experiencing this incident, he felt physically and mentally exhausted, but it was also a blessing in disguise, and he figured out a truth, that is, to cooperate with honest and capable people in order to do his own business. Coincidentally, Ma Yi had just planned his future and goals when he heard that Zhao Haiying had opened a company. At this time, Ma Yi couldn't sit still, and resolutely gave up the Northern Group and wanted to join Zhao Haiying's company.
The addition of Ma Yi is simply a tiger with wings for Zhao Haiying. With Ma Yi's experience and contacts accumulated in the business world for many years, many companies can't afford to spend a lot of money, but Ma Yi doesn't take a penny, and he still pays out of his own pocket to join the company, which is a great trust in Zhao Haiying. Zhao Haiying had no reason to refuse, took the initiative to stretch out his hands, smiled and said, "Mr. Ma, welcome you to join Haiyin Investment Company." Ma Yi also smiled and stretched out his hand, his hands clasped tightly together.
Surprises followed, and on the first day of the official opening of Zhao Haiying's Haiyin Investment Company, Gu Ying and Huang Bin also came to Zhao Haiying's new company. In the world of finance, it is easy to find a job, but it is hard to find a good boss. As soon as Gu Ying and Huang Bin heard the news of Zhao Haiying's company, they didn't think about it, so they directly gave up the old company and defected to Zhao Haiying.
Gu Ying half-jokingly said: "Mr. Zhao! I applied for the job with a letter of recommendation that you wrote in person, do you accept it? ”
Huang Bin rubbed his head embarrassedly: "My previous financial company took away my recommendation letter, why don't you give me another interview?" ”
Seeing that his former partners have come back one by one, Zhao Haiying's mood can no longer be described as excited, he feels that he has found a new starting point in his life again, and after experiencing so many winds and waves, his heart has long been hardened and indestructible. Shanghai is developing, Pudong is running wildly, Zhao Haiying secretly swore in his heart that this time, he must seize this best opportunity, fight hard, and start again in this Oriental Wall Street, and break out of his own world!
Soon, Zhao Haiying received the company's first order, and when Han Yaoqiang handed a contract to Zhao Haiying, Zhao Haiying's expression was not excited but surprised. At present, Yongkang is already an international company, and is preparing to go public, there must be a lot of financial companies that want to cooperate with Yongkang, and Haiyin Investment is only a small company that has just been established, even if it is not his turn to queue.
Seeing that Zhao Haiying, who was once unruly, was actually humble, Han Yaoqiang was a little uncomfortable, and laughed: "The most important capital in your financial industry is actually 'credit', and your sincerity and kindness, your courage and integrity have touched me." Yongkang is in the process of applying for an IPO and hopes that you will continue to provide services to our business. In the face of Han Yaoqiang's trust in himself, Zhao Haiying promised that he would do a good job in financial services for Yongkang.
In addition to the Yongkang project, Zhao Haiying also set his sights on the theme park project in the suburbs of Pudong. Soon, Ma Yi got in touch with Shin Shin Cultural Tourism Company and agreed to cooperate with Haiyin Investment. With the addition of Shin Shin Cultural Tourism, Zhao Haiying has a lot of chances of winning the bidding for the theme park.
Ma Yi expressed concern about this matter: "Although we can increase our chances of winning by cooperating with cultural tourism companies, we are still a newly established company after all. The suburban theme park project in Pudong is huge, and we want to compete with big companies with deep backgrounds. ”
However, Zhao Haiying's attitude towards this matter is extremely resolute, he believes that he can't mess up his position and retreat in a hurry just because his opponent is strong, just like his personal experience, no matter how big the difficulties are, they will not come over. In his dictionary, there are no two words back. He looked at Ma Yi, who was a little worried, and then looked at the employees in front of him, and said very firmly: "The bidders to be selected by the bidding company are not rich in property and qualifications, but they value the most developmentalities of the bidders, so that their projects can develop the greatest benefit value in the most controllable cost." We must put a hundred times more effort into the bidding plan, and only by coming up with the best plan can we defeat the opponent who has an inherent advantage over us. Do you have faith? ”
Listening to Zhao Haiying's bold words, the young employees in the company are also full of enthusiasm and a posture of ambition.
Ma Yi looked at everyone's high-spirited appearance, and suddenly had a sense of déjà vu, he saw the shadow of Zhao Haiying in Jing'an Institute more than ten years ago in the eyes of the group of young people in front of him.
In the next few days, Zhao Haiying ate and lived in the company, and all the employees saw the boss working so hard, and they unconsciously stayed after work.
The bidding meeting was packed, and representatives of well-known and unknown enterprises in Shanghai sat among them, anxiously awaiting the final results. Zhao Haiying and Ma Yi sat in the back row. At this time, the host took the final result, walked to the front of the stage, and announced in a magnetic voice: "The successful bidder is Haiyin Investment Co., Ltd. and Shin Shin Cultural Tourism Company!" ”
As soon as the words fell, the audience burst into thunderous applause. Zhao Haiying stood up from his seat and excitedly accepted the surprised glances from all directions. Ma Yi stood up excitedly and hugged Zhao Haiying.
The success of this bid allowed the outside world to see Zhao Haiying's ability again. Zhao Haiying perfectly proved to the outside world that even a small company that is just starting out can also compete with powerful large companies. The fame of Haiyin Investment was also an instant hit in the industry because of this bid.
Zhao Haiying, who had not participated in the business reception for a long time, once again came into people's sight. At the reception scene, looking at many familiar figures, Zhao Haiying was full of emotion.
A boss stepped forward to talk, and his mouth was "Mr. Zhao, Mr. Zhao" kept calling, and Zhao Haiying was still a little uncomfortable: "You are really a small strong man in the financial industry who can't be killed, you can get up again after a few ups and downs, and you can set up your own company, I admire and admire." Then, the boss looked at Ma Yi beside Zhao Haiying, and said in a mocking tone: "Isn't this the former general manager of the Northern Group, Mr. Ma?" I heard that you are now a partner of Hywin. Two people who have planted big heels together, should be able to create different sparks. ”
Before Zhao Haiying could speak, Ma Yi couldn't help it, and responded mercilessly: "In the financial circle, no one can be a victorious general, but those who have fallen will always have one more heart than others, unlike some people who lack heart and will only grasp the failures of others." ”
Such a straightforward ridicule made the boss a little unable to get off the stage for a while, and changed the topic: "Mr. Zhao, I heard that your company has won the theme park project that is being established with the support of the first company, and the strength of your company is really not to be underestimated." However, I personally am not very optimistic about the theme park project, at least the current consumer group, it seems that there is not much interest in theme parks. Mr. Zhao is afraid that he will have to fall again this time. ”
Zhao Haiying was also unceremonious, and shot back: "Investment projects are actually the same as stock speculation, everyone has the brainpower to make money by trading stocks, but not everyone has such a belly." If you run away at every turn, then don't touch stocks and don't buy stock funds. Many successful investment cases and projects in history are not favored by everyone, but they can often be fruitful, why? Because successful investors can see the hidden value and profit points. If everyone had this kind of insight, I don't think there would be any failure in the world. ”
At this time, another boss came over and interjected: "I admire Mr. Zhao's courage very much!" Shortly after its establishment, Hywin Investment was able to make a name for itself in the industry, and won the theme park project in one fell swoop by beating so many competitors, with a financing fund of 10 million. I think that in the future, the strength of Hywin Investment may make the industry frightened! ”
His words spoke out to the minds of many people at the scene. The boss toasted Zhao Haiying and Ma Yi, Zhao Haiying and Ma Yi both raised their wine glasses, and the three of them drank it all.
The deceit of the business community did not affect the development of Pudong in the slightest, and soon after, Pudong welcomed a new customer, "Taihua International Bank". Shanghai attaches great importance to this matter, because Taihua International Bank is the first wholly foreign-owned bank in China, and the relocation to Pudong means that it is the first foreign bank headquarters in Lujiazui, which is of great significance.
Zhao Guoping, a "professional gift-giver", once again showed his "strength", and as soon as he opened his mouth, he said the four big words "Vientiane Update". He believes that in just six years, Pudong's development has been unstoppable, history has given Pudong a chance, and Pudong has also given the world a surprise. Everything is developing in a good direction, and this time the first foreign bank headquarters has settled in Pudong, which means that another big chapter has been opened. In addition, in traditional Chinese culture, "xiang" is homophonic with "auspicious", so "xiang" is endowed with a lot of auspicious meanings; Thai people have always regarded elephants as a symbol of strength, and they are often used as mascots for fortune and treasure, which is a good meaning for banks.
On the day of the housewarming, the gongs and drums in the Lujiazui financial district were noisy and crowded. Zhao Guoping and the general manager of Taihua International Bank lifted the red cloth together, and a huge elephant carved from mahogany was beautifully presented to the public. For a while, the financial street burst into applause and cheers.

After years of hard work, Wu Yibai finally won the honor of "Shanghai Outstanding Economic Reporter". He was full of emotion, since he became a reporter, he has seen too much of the dark side of society, he often heard people say that the most popular in the news industry is the reporter in the direction of finance, he estimates that people with this mentality should look at the word "wealth". They always think that these people must have a good income by dealing with the economy all day long. It is true that many financial journalists now use the resources and power at their disposal to earn additional income in addition to their salaries, but of all journalists, economic journalists have the greatest workload and pressure. Economic news reporting is the most challenging of all news reports, and at the same time, economic news reporters have the highest requirements in terms of political quality, professional quality and cultural quality. A good financial journalist is not only about reporting on what kind of mergers and acquisitions have happened recently, where new companies have been formed, or what kind of bull or bear market has occurred in the stock futures market, that is, you can't just write for the economy, the most important thing is to make these reports while considering what impact your stories will have on the vast majority of people in this society, and write for readers.
Unexpectedly, good things followed, and when he was still immersed in the joy of winning the award, Ma Yue announced in front of everyone that Wu Yibai officially became the deputy editor-in-chief of the Oriental Economic News.
In order to celebrate Wu Yibai's double happiness, Qian Qingqing yelled for him to have a dinner. Wu Yibai found a nearby Western restaurant and ordered Qian Qingqing's favorite bread. Qian Qingqing nibbled on the bread on her lips, and her thoughts were still on the acceptance speech that Wu Yibai had just said: "The speech you just made on the stage really moved me. It's so shocking, when it comes to everyone's hearts. I didn't expect you, who usually knew that you would hurt me, and you could make such exciting remarks. Qian Qingqing originally came to find news, but she happened to see Wu Yibai on stage to accept the award, she rarely saw Wu Yibai's serious appearance, and the scene just now moved her.
Wu Yibai smiled and pretended to say in a deep voice: "My damage to you is based on the fact that you damaged my name, and there is a-for-tat strategy in economics." ”
Qian Qingqing's eyes widened with anger and said, "You know that you will block me with professional knowledge." ”
Wu Yibai was amused by Qian Qingqing's angry appearance. Qian Qingqing also smiled, raised the teacup, and said to Wu Yibai: "Congratulations, you have become the deputy editor-in-chief of the Oriental Economic News at such a young age." There was a different emotion in his eyes.
The atmosphere was a little ambiguous for a while, and Wu Yibai hurriedly changed the topic to alleviate the embarrassment: "Why do you want to come to our newspaper office today?" ”
Speaking of the reason for the Economic News, Qian Qingqing instantly wilted, she remembered the task assigned to her by the editor-in-chief, and looked helpless: "Our TV station is going to cooperate with your newspaper to produce a new program." ”
"I've heard about the financial elite." Wu Yibai said casually.
Qian Qingqing saw Wu Yibai's attitude and did not show obvious disgust, Qian Qingqing felt that there was a drama. There are not many financial elites she knows, only Zhao Haiying is one. Wu Yibai is the only one, and all the people she comes into contact with every day are elites, and her eyes are shining: "In the future, it is estimated that you will be annoyed to death by me, and you will come to pester you every day to ask you to give me the most complete information about the financial elite." Perhaps, my future golden beetle son-in-law will be on these lists. ”
Wu Yibai ate without even raising his head, and said disdainfully: "Then the person I introduced to you must be married and have children, and you must strangle your shameless thoughts in the cradle." ”
Before the words fell, Qian Qingqing's smile froze on his face, and Wu Yibai laughed out loud when he saw it. The two of them felt the ambiguous change in the atmosphere again, and they blushed one after another, and an indescribable feeling spread between the two.
A few days later, Wu Yibai fulfilled his promise and really brought Qian Qingqing to a salon full of elites. However, Qian Qingqing didn't appreciate it at all, because this was the first financial salon held by Haiyin Investment Company.
As soon as Qian Qingqing walked into the venue, he saw the busy figures of the staff, serving tea and pouring water, and sorting out materials. A salon-style reception table was set up in the center of the company's hall, providing all kinds of alcoholic beverages and leisure food, and many business elites were present at the banquet. Wu Yibai sat in front of the side of the conference table with a pen and paper and wrote something seriously, Qian Qingqing waved his hand happily and shouted: "Wu Yibai!" Wu Yibai smiled and beckoned Qian Qingqing to sit beside him.
Qian Qingqing of course understood Wu Yibai's intentions, and hurriedly handed his business card to several financial elites sitting beside him, everyone saw that Qian Qingqing knew Wu Yibai, and they all gave back their business cards, and after a while, Qian Qingqing's business cards accumulated a bunch of business cards, she excitedly waved the "results" in her hand, showing off to Wu Yibai: "Look, even if you don't introduce me, I can still get the business card of the financial elite." ”
Wu Yibai looked disdainful: "That's not what I notified you to attend." After speaking, he didn't forget to remind Qian Qingqing: "The guests who participated in the salon this time were all personally invited by Haiying, all of them are amazing, you will listen carefully for a while, and increase your knowledge!" ”
As he was talking, Zhao Haiying, as the organizer, picked up the microphone and first welcomed and thanked the guests who came to participate in the salon. Haiyin Investment Company has just started a year, and it has caught up with some mature companies in the industry, and many people want to learn from the experience, but for Zhao Haiying, he has been in this industry for ten years, from nothing to small achievements, to fame, and then to nothing, each of which has made him more cautious and mature.
As he spoke, Zhao Haiying took out a card from the inner pocket of his suit, and there were obviously several holes on the card, and he explained: "I have a card in my hand, I named it the decision card, and it is an investment decision card that can only play 20 holes." Every time I make an investment, I punch a hole in my card. Conversely, the number of investment decisions that can be made will be reduced by one. If you are an investor and are subject to such restrictions as I do, then you will also wait patiently for the great investment opportunity to arise and will not make a rash decision, so I never regret every decision I make. ”
However, this is not the purpose of his exchange meeting, he would like to take the opportunity of this salon to announce an important decision to everyone: "Haiyin Investment will develop new service areas, specifically to support and serve 80% of consumers and small businesses who have not been served, provide them with services and financial assistance, and establish a new financial service system." This was my biggest dream, and now that I have the ability, I have to fulfill my original promise. ”
As soon as the words fell, the financial elites present were surprised. It is said that Shanghai's financial status in the country has just been established, and the financial system is not perfect, but Zhao Haiying proposed to establish a financial service system, and financial services are the business of insurance companies and banks.
Zhao Haiying has his own insistence, he believes that not to make a profit for the purpose is not equal to a loss, China's stock market started relatively late, the sound system and the improvement of the status in the eyes of investors still need a process. There are also many "revolving doors" and "interest bundling" and "rat bins" between the regulatory authorities and the supervised objects, and the market is controlled by a small number of institutional investors, which damages the credibility of securities supervision and the confidence of investors. Small and medium-sized enterprises, especially small and micro enterprises in the start-up stage, have financing difficulties to varying degrees, which directly restricts the long-term development of enterprises. In particular, technology companies with great growth potential need financial support in the early stages of growth.
Many people did not understand Zhao Haiying's decision, but Ma Yi was well aware of Zhao Haiying's intentions, and he explained to those present: "The establishment of a new financial service system can improve the operation and management of financial institutions, enhance the competitiveness of the financial industry, and better promote economic and social development." Hywin Investment Company is willing to be this leader. As soon as the words fell, the audience was in an uproar.

Chen Menglei and Qian Dongmei have been busy with the listing of Yongkang Company recently, it stands to reason that Yongkang has now become a joint venture with Huamei, and the conditions for listing are met, but with Yongkang's current qualifications, it is still a little thin, and there is still a gap from being listed. Chen Menglei came to learn from Zhao Haiying, Zhao Haiying looked at the financial report handed by Qian Dongmei, and suggested: "I think Yongkang should expand more industries and create a diversified state." Recently, there is a small biopharmaceutical company, called Mingcheng Pharmaceutical, is a group of graduate students of the University of Medicine to start a laboratory, I have inspected, very promising, our company has also made financing for them, if Yongkang can acquire Mingcheng Pharmaceutical, can form a variety of industrial forms, then not only medical equipment, but a large model of health industry. ”
Zhao Haiying's idea coincided with Chen Menglei, and Qian Dongmei also felt good. But it's not so easy to really operate, Qian Dongmei didn't expect that just taking a photo would make her head big.
The existing photos in Qian Dongmei's hands are all taken from the old Yongkang before, and these are still picked out by Qian Dongmei from dozens of photos, Zhao Haiying frowned at a glance, the Yongkang workshop in the photo is dilapidated, and the workers have not formed a systematic operation process, and finally Zhao Haiying decided to be a photographer and take new photos for Yongkang in person.
When Chen Menglei watched Zhao Haiying appear in the Yongkang workshop with an old-fashioned Phoenix brand SLR camera, she was surprised. Qian Dongmei explained with a smile: "For the sake of our listed materials, Haiying was not satisfied with our profile photos, so she had to take them herself. ”
He held the camera, patted here and there, and seemed to be very professional, but a whole roll of film, few of which were satisfactory to him, and he was so tired that he was sweating profusely. He didn't expect that taking pictures turned out to be an art and a technical job.
Chen Menglei looked at Zhao Haiying's embarrassed appearance and felt a little funny, the CEO of a dignified company was actually embarrassed by a small camera. Suddenly, she had a new idea and said to Zhao Haiying: "Why don't we make a promotional video for a company?" The promotional video can make the text data visual, and have a strong expression of the company's current scale, advantages, characteristics and development prospects. ”
Zhao Haiying put down the camera in his hand and looked at Chen Menglei breathlessly: "Good way, why didn't I think of it?" "But the main thing is that you can save him by shooting a promotional video.
Soon, Chen Menglei recommended a shooting team through Zhou Mei, and the shooting plan and content to be filmed were also ready.
The first shot of the promotional video is Han Yaoqiang, Han Yaoqiang, who faced the camera for the first time, sweated nervously, and NG several times before he finished filming his shot. Next, the photographer photographed the precision instruments of the Yongkang laboratory and the medical device production workshop of Yongkang. Through the camera, Yongkang's advanced technology was recorded.
Soon, the filming of Yongkang's corporate promotional video came to an end, but Wang Keli raised some disagreements. The reason is that Han Yaoqiang talked about the planning for the future in the promotional video, as well as the pragmatic, innovative, honest, efficient, and technological spirit of Yongkang, Wang Keli keenly found the problem, especially his previous in-depth investigation and research on Mingcheng Pharmaceutical, he said his concerns: "First, the Mingcheng Pharmaceutical we are now inspecting, their core team is doing genetic research, and our existing two pillar production lines in Yongkang are not directly related. Second, we are now preparing to go public, and the company's assets must be matched with the company's production and operation. Our two pillars of production and operation lines are both carrying out new product development and testing, and the market is also expanding. The board of directors has not voted on this matter, so it is probably inappropriate to mention this in the promotional video. ”
On this issue, Qian Dongmei has also considered it before, she and Wang Keli have the same idea, she proposed: "At present, we are cooperating with Japan's Ito Medical to develop two new large-scale medical equipment, which means that we will open Japan, South Korea, Southeast Asia and other markets, which is a great benefit for our listing, and this content can be mentioned more." As for the content of biotechnology, it is not quite appropriate. ”
In response to Wang Keli and Qian Dongmei's concerns, Chen Menglei explained: "Speaking of Ito Medical, which is a leading global pharmaceutical, biotechnology and medical device R&D platform company, they have always been customer-centric development cooperation projects, which means that they provide R&D laboratory services, production services, and market expansion services to medical device companies, biotechnology companies and pharmaceutical companies around the world. We have also cooperated with Huamei and Ito, and we know their operating model very well, which is why we have connected Yongkang and Ito and facilitated R&D cooperation. Therefore, Chen Menglei also believes that biotechnology is the core of the medical, pharmaceutical, and health industries now and in the future, and if Yongkang can learn from Ito's development model, Mingcheng Pharmaceutical should be the best target for cooperation.
"We have also done a detailed investigation of what Mr. Chen said." Zhao Haiying said his thoughts, "The core leaders of the Mingcheng Pharmaceutical team have studied and worked in the United States and Japan, and are very outstanding in biotechnology, especially in the direction of genetic research. If Yongkang can successfully acquire Mingcheng Pharmaceutical, it will greatly shorten the process of Yongkang's biotechnology research and development. As Yongkang's financial advisor, our most important job now is to provide a full range of services for Yongkang's listing, including the post-IPO development strategy. Mingcheng Pharmaceutical's acquisition is not an overnight deal, and we can complete it after it is listed. At this stage, however, we believe that negotiations should be initiated in good faith. ”
Zhao Haiying and Chen Menglei said those financial things, Wang Keli does not understand, but he knows that Zhao Haiying is concerned about data and scale, but he is more concerned about the research and development of traditional Chinese medicine, he retorted: "Our products have been tested by authoritative institutions in the United States, and have obtained the IND clinical drug application approved by the FDA (Food and Drug Administration), we are building a first-class Chinese medicine brand and expanding overseas markets." This has nothing to do with the direction of gene technology of Mingcheng Pharmaceutical, and even produces contradictions. I think the company should protect and accelerate the development of our TCM pharmaceuticals, rather than finding another way. Sometimes, we need to do subtraction and be more pure. ”
Chen Menglei was also unceremonious: "Vice President Wang, what we are discussing now is the overall strategy of the company's development. If you have been standing in a part of the company or from a local perspective to express your opinions, it may be difficult for everyone to reach an agreement. ”
The atmosphere was a little awkward for a while. They ultimately left the decision to the board of directors.
Sure enough, as Zhao Haiying expected, the board of directors did not approve the acquisition in the end, after all, gene research and development is a completely unfamiliar field for Yongkang now.
For this ending, Han Yaoqiang also expressed his helplessness. On the board of directors, he saw that some people lacked a long-term vision, and at the same time lacked an inclusive and overall mind, and Wang Keli was one of them. In the end, the trio decided to wait until Yongkang went public before starting the acquisition plan.
Approaching July 1, 1997, Zhao Guoping also became extremely busy. **The return is imminent, but the rapidly developing Shanghai is beginning to be hyped. Many media have compared Shanghai with Shanghai, saying that the economic take-off of Shanghai and Pudong has put pressure on the economy, and many media have said that Shanghai is about to replace the status of an international financial and trade center. In the face of reporters' inquiries, Zhao Guoping was very serious and serious, you must know that if you say something wrong, you may be seized by some foreign media with ulterior motives, and the consequences will definitely be unimaginable. Facing the media, Zhao Guoping said slowly: "The history of world economic development shows that the rise of a country's economy will inevitably lead to the emergence of regional financial and trade centers, but not necessarily at the cost of replacing the status of other financial and trade centers. Just as New York became an international trade and financial center, it did not change London's status as a financial center in Europe. After World War II, Tokyo became a new financial and trade center, and it did not replace New York. ”
"Do you think Shanghai's status as an international financial and trade center is stable? What kind of impact will the rapid rise of Shanghai have on the world? A reporter asked.
Zhao Guoping pondered for a moment and replied very seriously: "The rapid rise of Shanghai is the need to realize China's economic take-off, and it is also the inevitable result of China's rapid economic development, because in a country with a large population and vast territory like China, in order to achieve economic take-off, there must be such leaders as Shanghai and Pudong to start, and the sustained growth of China's economy will inevitably create and produce regional financial and trade centers like Shanghai or even countless others." ”
In the matter of ** returning, Zhao Haiying and his father's attitudes are surprisingly consistent. Zhao Haiying believes that the complementarity between China and Shanghai in the financial field is far greater than the competition, and he believes that it is Singapore that competes with the real homogeneity, not Shanghai.
Wu Yibai also agrees with Zhao Haiying's point of view, he also believes that ** and Shanghai are two completely different cities, no one can replace anyone, the best is to complement each other's advantages, win-win cooperation, for someone to compare the two to make a fuss, Wu Yibai said that he did not understand.
The conversation between the two Qian Chunsheng couldn't interject at all, he was worried about his own affairs. Recently, he has encountered a little trouble, which started with his blind date experience. The family introduced him to a blind date, but he didn't expect to find out that it was a little girl who looked less than 20 years old, which made Qian Chunsheng, who was close to 40 years old, acceptable? was about to refuse, but I didn't expect the little girl to really fall in love with him, and she wanted to be his girlfriend. Qian Chunsheng was so frightened that he was in a cold sweat and was about to flee the scene, but he didn't expect the little girl to be angry and snatch Qian Chunsheng's wallet and threaten him, Qian Chunsheng did not show weakness, and directly called the police and asked the police to arrest the little girl as a thief.
As soon as he entered the police station, Qian Chunsheng knew that this little girl's name was Han Xiaogui, and she was actually the eldest daughter of Yongkang boss Han Yaoqiang, and at this time, Qian Chunsheng was embarrassed. was about to explain, but before he could speak, the father and daughter quarreled, but in the end, Han Yaoqiang was so angry that he had a heart attack and was sent to the hospital. In the end, the matter turned out to be such an ending, and Qian Chunsheng felt indescribably aggrieved.
Wu Yibai felt that this was an opportunity: "People lack fatherly love, from a psychological point of view, this is called a father-lover complex, otherwise why would she keep holding on to Qian Chunsheng?" ”
Qian Chunsheng looked unhappy and asked rhetorically, "Do you mean I'm old?" ”
Wu Yibai hurriedly explained, not old. However, Zhao Haiying was a little worried, mainly worried that Han was going to be strong, the company was going to be listed, he was very busy, and there was a difficult scripture at home. "Brother Chunsheng, if you have a chance, you can also enlighten Han Xiaogui."
Qian Chunsheng immediately waved his hand: "I don't dare to see her again, if you want to enlighten, you go." ”
As he spoke, all three laughed.

As soon as I got to work the next day, Zhao Haiying's office had a special guest - Child.
Zhao Haiying was very surprised by Child's visit. Childe was his idol when he was a student, but after going through so many things, Zhao Haiying no longer admired him at all. Xu Hanzhi's death and Xie Tianyang's imprisonment are inseparable from Child, and from Chen Menglei's increasingly haggard face, he can also see that Chen Menglei and Child's marriage is not happy. He didn't expect that Childe would take the initiative to come to the door and want to cooperate with him in business, but at this time, Zhao Haiying was no longer a student back then, nor was he a hairy boy who had just entered the financial world, he became more calm and rational.
When Childe saw Zhao Haiying, he said in English, "Long time no see, Zhao Haiying." ”
Zhao Haiying said very calmly and politely: "Long time no see." ”
Childe walked to the window and said leisurely: "You have a good scenery here, and the location and company environment are very nice." "It's like a friend's voice, as if everything that happened before has nothing to do with him.
"As a financial person, every choice in life can be regarded as an investment, and prudence and thoughtfulness are key." Zhao Haiying responded.
"Good." Childe turned his head and looked at Zhao Haiying, "Details determine success or failure, and I appreciate people who demand perfection everywhere, which is also the first condition for me to choose a collaborator." ”
"But I don't want to be chosen to be your partner."
Zhao Haiying's unthinking refusal made Child's heart ripple, and no one would refuse to cooperate with him, but Child's face did not show the slightest change, he smiled and said: "You have not even listened to the cooperation project I brought, and you asserted that you want to refuse, this is not what a qualified investor should do." ”
"Shanghai Dongchen Travel Company has developed a number of new itineraries, including China**, Macau, Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand. You also know that now ** return to your China, this route can definitely attract a large number of tourists, the tourism of Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand is currently hot, and I have discussed with the chairman of Dongchen Tourism, as long as the contract is signed, we can make a ring line, east from Shanghai, the first stop is the theme park invested by your Haiyin Group, Haiyin Group can earn income in it, I think you have your own estimate, and as long as you cooperate with me, invest in the development of this line tourism, you can also get 30% profit dividends, how about? There's no way you can refuse me. As soon as Childe came up, he showed his cards. This is not Child's usual style, nor is it the posture of a good businessman to negotiate.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Haiying's attitude was still very decisive: "This cooperation can indeed bring great benefits to our Haiyin Group." After speaking, Zhao Haiying paused and said with a smile: "However, I will not agree." ”
Zhao Haiying's determination caught Charde by surprise, and he didn't make any money, which was simply stupid.
Zhao Haiying walked straight to the bookcase, found a photo with Child, and handed it to Child: "This is a group photo of you when you came to our school to listen to the class, at that time, in my heart, you were like an idol, like a teacher, I am full of admiration and respect for you." But for now, I just want to give you one sentence: the Tao is not the same. ”
Child's face became very ugly, no one would ever refuse to cooperate with him, Zhao Haiying was the first.
However, Zhao Haiying didn't care about Child's thoughts, he sneered and said to him in a warning tone: "Don't try to bring Wall Street's financial fraud and speculative adventures to China, are you really so clean about the case of Ant Shenbao and He Weiping?" Shanghai's financial sector is still developing, but it will soon become a paradise for real investors. Lujiazui welcomes every collaborator who supports China's reform and opening up, but it never welcomes speculators who want to muddy the waters! ”
At this time, Charde was completely enraged, but Zhao Haiying still smiled: "In your autobiography, you said that even if you are under great anger, you must keep smiling, because in this way, the enemy can't figure out your true thoughts." But apparently you are now angry. In addition to satisfying one's own sense of achievement, making money alone is to make one's life a little better, so I only choose the way to make money that makes me physically and mentally happy, and I think it will be very painful to cooperate with you. Please leave. ”
Looking at Zhao Haiying in front of him, calm and calm, he coped with it easily, as if he was not the young student who followed him to sign autographs, and Childe felt threatened for the first time. A "teacher" was counted down by a "student", and Child, blushing, held back his anger and walked out of Zhao Haiying's office.
After Childe left, Zhao Haiying stood by the window, looking at Shanghai in full view. One day, ** is about to return, and Child's initiative to find him shows that China is becoming stronger. He is proud of the performance he has just performed, and he is even more proud of his motherland, and he will never allow any foreigner to make waves on Chinese soil.
At night, Zhao Haiying and Ma Yi came to Shanghai Cultural Square, which used to be the French business race in old Shanghai, that is, the Yiyuan dog race, which can accommodate more than 20,000 people and is known as "the largest casino in the Far East".
The moon hangs high in the night sky, Lujiazui is lined with high-rise buildings, and the lights are also brilliant in the middle of the night, the clock of Shanghai Cultural Square is showing the time of 23:00, and the TV screen in the square is playing a documentary about the colonization. Crowded, Chen Menglei supported Chen Jianhua to walk on the side of the square, countless volunteers waved the Chinese flag and the ** special zone flag, everyone's face was full of joy.
At 23:56, the flag guards of China and Britain entered, and the flag-lowering and flag-raising ceremonies for the handover of the **** regimes of the two countries began. All the Chinese and foreign guests attending the ceremony stood up, and the eyes of the audience focused on the flagpoles erected on the east and west sides of the rostrum.
At 23:59, the British flag and the ** Governor's flag slowly descended to the music of the British national anthem. With the slow lowering of the "rice flag", the British colonial rule in the first century came to an end.
At zero o'clock, the exciting and sacred moment arrived, the military band of the Chinese People's Liberation Army played the majestic national anthem of the People's Republic of China, and the national flag of the People's Republic of China and the flag of the ** Special Administrative Region were slowly raised together. Many people's eyes were filled with tears of excitement, and thunderous applause lasted for a long time. The lens of the camera kept flashing, recording this ** historical moment. No matter where they were, the people of China stood up to cheer and celebrate this historic moment, and the spontaneous national pride made countless Chinese shed tears of excitement.
There was a sound of cheering and boiling in the Shanghai Cultural Square, and countless ceremonial flowers bloomed in the sky, crossing the shining track, and then blooming, blooming, getting bigger and bigger, and blooming all kinds of "flowers". The song "1997 Eternal Love" sung by the stars is played on the square: I ring the bell of 5,000 years again and again with my heart, you use love to awaken the dream of a hundred years of sleep, water the gorgeous bauhinia flowers with warm currents, and shake away the cold wind with warmth, I melt the freezing of a hundred years with love drop by drop, you let us connect with each other with love, and weave a beautiful rainbow with thoughts......
Everyone danced to the song, Shanghai was immersed in laughter, and Pudong followed the footsteps of Shanghai and the motherland to take off into the future!

With the return of **, Yongkang Medical International Co., Ltd. has also been grandly listed. Yongkang's listing put Zhao Haiying's plan on the agenda again, and he specially invited Wang Keli to the Bund for dinner. Wang Keli knew in his heart that Zhao Haiying must be looking for him for the acquisition case again.
Zhao Haiying sold it first, he poured a glass of sake for Wang Keli, and said with a smile: "Mr. Wang, this first glass of wine, I want to congratulate you, Yongkang is listed, you are indispensable." Then, Zhao Haiying poured a second glass of wine: "I want to congratulate us on this second glass of wine, because we have all chosen to cooperate with Yongkang." Respect our vision, respect our fate. ”
When Zhao Haiying was about to pour the third glass of wine, Wang Keli directly covered the wine glass and said bluntly: "Mr. Zhao, say it, say everything you want to say, it's not too late for us to drink again." ”
Zhao Haiying said what he thought. When cooperating with Yongkang for the first time, Yongkang had just undergone a difficult restructuring from a state-owned enterprise, and was poor, lacking in funds, and mediocre in technology, so it could only make some extensive medical devices. However, Yongkang caught up with the torrent of Pudong's development and opening up, from land replacement to Qingpu factory construction, all the way to sail. Just when Yongkang's medical devices were developing to their peak, the company once again broke the tradition and erected the banner of entering the pharmaceutical industry. Along the way, Zhao Haiying has witnessed the development and changes of Yongkang: "Facts have proved that a medical device company is not unable to do medicine, on the contrary, reasonable integration of resources, cultivation of excellent teams, and expansion of new areas is the vitality of an enterprise development." It is precisely because of Yongkang's reform and progress all the way, and because you joined with Dexing, that today's Yongkang was successfully listed. Now Yongkang is facing greater challenges and opportunities than ever before, and Yongkang is once again facing a new journey. ”
This time, Wang Keli was silent. Zhao Haiying looked at Pudong on the other side of the river, and said with some amazement: "Mr. Wang, if you look at Pudong today, it doesn't look like a picture scroll." We all know very well what Pudong was like in the past, and who could have believed that Pudong would become such a high-rise building as it is today. Without the strong support of the central government, without the determination of Shanghai, and without the concerted efforts of everyone, the miracle of Pudong would not have been possible. ”
Zhao Haiying's words hit Wang Keli's heart. Seeing the situation, Zhao Haiying continued: "Mr. Wang, today you are no longer the leader of Dexing, but a high-level decision-maker of a listed medical company, and your vision, your mind, and your action are related to the development of Yongkang in the next five years, ten years or even longer. The opportunity is in front of us, and continuous reform and innovation is the last word of development! Zhao Haiying's high hat made Wang Keli very comfortable to wear, but it made Wang Keli see a problem clearly, maybe he was too conservative. He poured himself a glass of wine and slowly raised it: "Mr. Zhao, thank you for your words, you let me see the infinite possibilities of Yongkang's future." ”
Their glasses collided.
The fiery sun hung high in the sky, and a luxury cruise ship on the Huangpu River moved slowly, and the water surface was pushed away by layers of shallow waves. On the luxury cruise ship, Shanghai's business reception is being held, and the ten-story champagne tower is placed in the center of the banquet, which is very spectacular. The organizer of the banquet was Haiyin Group, and Zhao Haiying and Ma Yi greeted and entertained the guests everywhere. At this time, Qian Qingqing walked into the hall wearing a deep V long dress, full of femininity, and became the focus of attention as soon as she entered the hall. She was originally tall, but in order to be able to support this skirt, she specially wore a pair of high heels. This is the first time in Qian Qingqing's life to wear high heels, and the heels are as tall as 10 centimeters. She was a little unaccustomed to it, and after just a few steps, her feet couldn't stand it. She took a glass of champagne from the waiter and drank it alone. Wu Yibai on the side was attracted by Qian Qingqing, holding a camera, capturing Qian Qingqing's gentle moment, but immediately jokingly said: "You wear such a long skirt, don't accidentally fall down and push the champagne tower, then the sea eagle will definitely ask you out." ”
A woman is a person who pleases herself, Qian Qingqing dressed like this to attract Wu Yibai's attention, but she didn't expect to be teased, and she was naturally not very happy. She raised her head high, because of the heel relationship, she was almost the same height as Wu Yibai. She said proudly: "I just learned to wear high heels, but I can already run, don't believe me." ”
Saying that, Qian Qingqing immediately showed Wu Yibai his superb "skills", but before he ran two steps, he almost broke his foot and was held by Wu Yibai.
At this time, Wu Yibai laughed even more, and Qian Qingqing glared at Wu Yibai angrily. The picture of the two flirting happened to be seen by Zhou Mei. Zhou Mei, who was dressed in an evening dress, slowly walked into the reception hall of the cruise ship, like a fairy, which attracted everyone's attention at once, and Chen Menglei beside her was also irresistible, attracting admiring eyes from the men present.
Zhao Haiying looked at Zhou Mei and quipped: "It's rare for a big star to come to our Haiyin Group's cocktail party, I'm afraid today's protagonist is not me, it's you." ”
Zhou Mei smiled brightly: "Mr. Zhao hasn't seen him for a long time, and his mouth has become sweet." This time, I am here to talk to you about cooperation. ”
Zhao Haiying and Zhou Mei came to the cruise ship's restaurant, Zhou Mei took out a document from her bag and said, "I have a new film project, I don't know if you are interested." ”
As he was talking, Qian Chunsheng ran over. Since Zhou Mei walked into the hall, Qian Chunsheng's eyes did not leave her for a second, he sat directly next to Zhao Haiying, drank water, and said deliberately: "I just finished talking to a real estate boss about the project, you don't know how difficult it is for him to serve!" I'll tell you......" It's kind of a way to find something to say.
Zhao Haiying and Zhou Mei looked at the boastful Qian Chunsheng and were a little embarrassed. Zhao Haiying knows Qian Chunsheng's thoughts, but this acting is too fake. Qian Chunsheng also immediately realized that he seemed to have broken something, and said, "It's okay, you talk, I'll sit here and eat something." You talk. ”
Zhao Haiying smiled and said, "Zhou Mei, you go on." ”
Zhou Mei smiled helplessly, how could Qian Chunsheng's little trick escape her eyes. She continued: "This film is starring me, and it is the first time that I have been a producer at the same time. Therefore, it is very necessary to pull in companies that can invest. ”
Taking advantage of Zhou Mei's speech, Qian Chunsheng curiously opened the information: "I like to watch movies the most, this is the theme of the Anti-Japanese War?" In fact, as long as it is played by Zhou Mei, he likes it.
"I've read the script and it's very attractive. There is an outline of the story in this plan, and Shanghai Film Studio is the producer, but the director is a newcomer, so there are not many companies that want to invest in it at present. Zhou Mei opened the conversation box and said endlessly, "I have had dinner with this rookie director, I seem to see your shadow in him, very motivated and the pursuit of dreams, it should also be fate, so this time I came to finance on behalf of the producer, not only out of selfishness, but also hope that you can work together to create this film project, just like building a dream factory and fulfilling the director's film dream." ”
Before Zhao Haiying could speak, Qian Chunsheng was very active, slapped the table, and said, "I'll vote!" Zhao Haiying looked at Qian Chunsheng, who was carried away by emotion, and reminded: "Chunsheng, this is a big project, not just looking at the plot, the filming team of the movie, the later distribution ......"
However, where could Qian Chunsheng listen, and immediately interrupted Zhao Haiying's words: "Why don't you vote for the project I'm interested in?" Now I have hired your Haiyin Investment Company as our intermediary, and after you have completed the review, I will quote a quota. ”
Zhao Haiying was helpless, but he thought that this project was a good project, since Qian Chunsheng had this attitude, he was a gentleman and wanted to fulfill Qian Chunsheng.
As she was talking, Zhou Mei's phone suddenly rang. She answered the phone, and Child's voice came from the phone. Zhou Mei was a little curious and went to the side to answer the phone. What Zhou Mei didn't expect was that Chard actually wanted to complain to herself and complain about her dissatisfaction with Chen Menglei. This is the first time Zhou Mei has seen such an unbearable Child, decadent and helpless. As he spoke, Chard actually talked about cooperation with Zhou Mei.
"You're beautiful, you can be a big star in Hollywood, I'll help you, I'm friends with Fox, and the bosses of MGM and Warner!" Childe spoke in a somewhat smug tone.
Being able to go to Hollywood is something that all actors dream of, Zhou Mei's eyes lit up, and she immediately left the cruise ship to meet Child. However, after the two met, Zhou Mei felt weak and dizzy after a few sips of wine. When she woke up again, she found herself in a hotel room.
Zhou Mei is very familiar with this kind of thing, she used to hear all kinds of gossip in the entertainment industry, and she laughed it off, but she didn't expect it to happen to her this time. Weak, she hurriedly fumbled for her mobile phone and dialed Chen Menglei's phone, but Chen Menglei did not answer. Zhou Mei immediately sent a text message to Chen Menglei with a trembling hand, and the text message typed two words: "Help me!" ”
Before the text message was sent, the door suddenly opened in the hotel room, and Zhou Mei was very panicked. I saw Child walk in drunk, his blazer open and his tie much looser.
Childe laughed and said drunkenly: "If you want to be a big Hollywood star, I will satisfy you, my kitten." With that, Child took off his suit jacket and tie and pounced on Zhou Mei.
Zhou Mei wanted to cry without tears, and shouted frantically, but her whole body was weak and she couldn't shout at all. Tears rolled down her eyes, and she pleaded bitterly with Child, begging him to spare her. Childe seemed to be enchanted, and the more Zhou Mei resisted, the more impulsive he became.
When Chen Menglei opened the hotel door with her mobile phone, she was stunned by the scene in front of her.
Her husband's whole body was pressed against Zhou Mei's body, Zhou Mei's crying voice, and the whispering voice of the staff behind her, she couldn't hear it, and her mind was blank.
When Zhou Mei saw Chen Menglei, she immediately got rid of Child, ran to hide behind Chen Menglei, and whispered: "Don't let others know that I'm here, otherwise my future will be over." ”
Chen Menglei tried hard to suppress her emotions and let the staff leave first, big tears sliding down her cheeks.
Once, Chen Menglei weaved fairy tales in her fantasy castle, but the cruel reality was always ruthlessly shattering her dreams. She originally thought that as long as she worked hard to maintain this relationship, her marriage would not be damaged, but she was wrong, marriage is a matter of two people, and she can't go on alone. She has always been very decisive in doing things, but she is hesitant about marriage.
