The huge logo of "Guanghan Trust" is very magnificent, and the company's wall is posted with a road sign to the interview hall. Zhao Haiying held his resume and walked over.

The long corridor was full of people, all of them in suits and leather shoes, black and oppressive, a little depressing. Almost all of them looked cramped and uneasy, some looked at the topic carefully, some carefully recited their self-introductions, each doing their own thing, and their expressions were nervous and numb. Zhao Haiying walked directly to the last row and sat down, looking very relaxed.

After a while, it was Zhao Haiying's turn. There was another person who entered the interview hall with him, named Huang Bin, a typical financial man, fair-skinned, wearing gold-wire glasses, and a hint of shrewdness in his eyes hidden behind the lenses.

As soon as he walked into the interview hall, Zhao Haiying recognized an old acquaintance Su Mingkang at a glance, but Su Mingkang was his potential customer before, and now he has become his interviewer. Zhao Haiying, who saw Su Mingkang again, was a little weak-hearted, but he still nodded to him with a smile out of politeness, which was regarded as a greeting. Su Mingkang was taken aback when he saw Zhao Haiying, glanced at him, and then became expressionless, looked down at his resume, and the entire interview hall fell into silence.

After a while, Su Mingkang's head finally raised, but instead of looking at Zhao Haiying, he looked at Huang Bin, and asked with great interest: "You graduated from the finance major, and you went abroad to study for a year, and your diploma is very good." After the praise, Su Mingkang paused, and asked the first question with a gentle face: "Then you should also have some understanding of the development and prospects of trust companies, at present, there are many trust companies in my country but not sophisticated, and there are not many who are really famous in the country." As a leader in the trust industry, how do you think Guanghan Company should continue to develop vigorously? ”

Huang Bin seemed to be confident and talked eloquently: "This problem is a bit grandiose, but the origin of the trust industry is to be entrusted by people and manage money for people, and it has a unique institutional advantage of integrating a variety of financial tools and wisdom. Finally, he put forward his own opinion, "I think integrity is the company's biggest concept, and only by being honest can we gain the trust of customers." ”

Su Mingkang seemed to be very satisfied with Huang Bin's answer, and nodded vigorously, but another interviewer questioned: "Our Guanghan company's integrity concept has been established for many years, and there are many customer groups. ”

Huang Bin suddenly became nervous, his head began to sweat, he took out a white handkerchief from his trouser pocket, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and looked at Su Mingkang, Su Mingkang also frowned to relieve the embarrassment. At this time, Zhao Haiying was given the opportunity to perform, he stood up and said: "I think innovation is the blood of the trust fund. Then he gave his own explanation, he believes that the current trust market, there is a general problem of investment varieties and flow of single direction, "we can play a combination of punches, using a variety of ways to invest, including investing in equity, purchasing interests in specific assets, loans, investing in operating assets, and so on." As far as the investment field is concerned, as far as I know, Guanghan Company mainly invests in the real estate industry and the food industry, but not only the prospects of the real estate industry are considerable, in recent years, mineral resources and energy have attracted great attention, and the investment in this kind of field, I think the income is also very large. There is also the field of stocks, now the rise of stocks in our country, the response is great, investment in stocks, will also bring different harvest to our company. ”

Zhao Haiying's professional ability immediately attracted the attention of several interviewers, among all the people who have been interviewed, Zhao Haiying's answer is the most professional, not only directly said the company's current situation, but also put forward a solution to the problem and future development strategies, it can be seen that Zhao Haiying has done his homework on the situation of Guanghan Company.

Su Mingkang glanced at Zhao Haiying's resume, and only had a high Chinese basis, so he deliberately made it difficult and said: "You answered well, but ...... The question just now is very simple, don't say so much. I ask you, if the present value of the stock is $100 and there are two put options expiring at the same time, one with a strike price of $80 and one with a strike price of $90. If the strike price is $80 and the option value is $0.8 and the strike price is $90 and the value is $0.85, do you think it is possible to arbitrage? ”

This question is too complicated, not to mention a person who comes to the interview, even the company's old employees may not be able to answer it at once, and other interviewers also feel that the question is too tricky. However, Zhao Haiying is very calm and looks confident. He picked up the answer board in front of him and quickly wrote a formula: 1/9max(90-St,0)-1/8max(80-St,0)=max(10-St/9.0)-max(10-St/8,0)>=0. The final answer is "arbitrage".

Seeing that the interviewers were all frowning, Zhao Haiying explained with a smile: "The price of the put option is convex with the strike price, and the value of the put option with the strike price of 0 is obviously 0. If an option with a strike price of $80 is $0.8, then the strike price is ......"

Immediately afterwards, there was a series of complex calculations, and the interviewers on the scene, including Huang Bin, were dumbfounded.

Su Mingkang was secretly unhappy in his heart, and originally planned to deliberately make things difficult for Zhao Haiying, but he didn't expect to accidentally let him out of the limelight. Seeing Zhao Haiying writing the answer board, Su Mingkang directly interrupted him and asked, "What school did you graduate from?" Shanghai Finance? It doesn't say anything about your work history. ”

When asked about his academic qualifications, the pen in Zhao Haiying's hand stopped, his face was embarrassed, and he didn't know how to answer, which was in stark contrast to his previous self-confidence, and his speech was a little fragmented. He knew in his heart that the recruitment brochure published in the newspaper of Guanghan Company clearly stated that applicants must have a college diploma or above, and he never thought that he would get the opportunity to be interviewed, and he also had the mentality of trying it out. In the face of Su Mingkang's questioning, Zhao Haiying settled down and was ready to make a final fight: "I think Guanghan Company is an enterprise that embraces all rivers, although a diploma is important, but it cannot deny a person's strength and professionalism because there is no diploma." I just wanted to go for this opportunity, and I knew that if I missed this interview because I was afraid of the threshold, I would regret it for the rest of my life. ”

After the interview, Zhao Haiying returned to the situation of being suspended at home, but he was in a good mood, and he thought that he had played well in the interview of Guanghan Company. He was ready to resign from the Jing'an Exchange and planned to join Guanghan Company, but he did not expect to receive a call from the manager of the Jing'an Exchange the day after the interview.

It turned out that Jing'an Exchange had recently received several big customers, and the staff was too busy to be busy, and the manager wanted him to come back to help. Zhao Haiying listened to the manager's words, and his heart was mixed. Zhao Haiying knew that the manager just wanted him to go back to help, not because he valued his ability. The sun was shining outside the window, but Zhao Haiying had infinite entanglements in his heart.

At noon the next day, the sun was very bright, and many pedestrians outside the basketball court were walking in a hurry, presumably rushing home for dinner, when the bell of the bicycle rang crisply twice, and was drowned out by the clang of the basketball hitting the basket.

There were only three people on the court at noon, Zhao Haiying, Wu Yibai, and Zhang Xiang, and their shoes were constantly rubbing on the basketball court, accompanied by the sound of dribbling. After the three of them were exhausted, Wu Yibai asked about Zhao Haiying's application for Guanghan Company. Knowing that Jing'an wanted to call Zhao Haiying back again, Wu Yibai was taken aback: "Then what are you going to do?" I think the work of Jing'an is still good......"

Zhao Haiying drank a whole bottle of mineral water in one go and said, "I plan to resign in the afternoon." ”

Wu Yibai and Zhang Xiang were both surprised. Zhang Xiang hurriedly persuaded: "Don't pay the price, the interview results of Guanghan Company have not come down yet, you should go and cut off the back road now, in case Guanghan does not pass by then, won't you lose your wife and lose your soldiers?" ”

Wu Yibai was afraid of Zhao Haiying's impulsiveness, and hurriedly persuaded: "It's not too late for you to wait for Guanghan to notify you of the interview before you resign." The two of them were surprisingly on the same page, and both felt that a stable job was too important. This is like a sense of security in life, although the Jing'an Exchange is not as good as the big banks, at least the salary is guaranteed.

Zhao Haiying looked at the sky with dazzling sunlight, the clouds were slowly moving, and he was thoughtful. In the Jing'an Exchange for many years, he has been selling stocks and attracting customers every day, originally he thought that one day he would be able to mix a world here, but a series of recent events have made him realize some realities: no matter how hard you try, others can always take a small thing to defeat you, thinking that everything you do is wrong. Instead of waiting for death in such a position, it is better to pursue your true dreams and give it a go. He confidently said to the two: "True security is not a constant job, but sticking to your dreams and values and working hard for them." I will definitely pass Guanghan's recruitment, and I quit just to not leave myself a way back. ”

When Zhao Haiying told the manager that he was going to resign, the manager was sitting in a comfortable leather office chair, drinking water from an old teapot. As soon as the word "resignation" came into his ears, the manager's mouth was scalded by boiling water. He once thought that everyone in the Jing'an Exchange might resign, but he never thought that Zhao Haiying would resign, so when he made a mistake at work, he dared to say it so harshly. Because he knows that Zhao Haiying has put too much effort into this job, and most importantly, he firmly believes that once Zhao Haiying resigns, it will be impossible to find such a good job as Jing'an Exchange.

"You kid, what's the joke? I advised you to resign before, but you said that you didn't want anything, but now it's okay, I'll let you come back to work, and you tell me that you want to resign! Brain w? I know that the last time you were suspended was a little unpleasant, but it was indeed your mistake, wasn't it? We're all on business, and this time ......"

Before the manager could finish speaking, Zhao Haiying explained sincerely: "It's right to punish me, but resignation is a decision I have considered for a long time, and I hope you can understand, manager." The manager felt a little incredulous and looked at Zhao Haiying helplessly.

Before leaving, Zhao Haiying looked back at the place where he had worked for more than four years, and the citizens who came to buy stocks were still coming and going in the Jing'an Exchange, and the sound of abacus, human voices, and stamps were intertwined, forming the most unforgettable scene in Zhao Haiying's heart.

The frustrations and frustrations in the past have tempered Zhao Haiying's will, and he knows that this is only the first stop of his life's struggle, and it will not be the final stop of his dreams. In the face of the difficulties that need to be overcome or the misfortunes that need to be experienced on the road ahead, he believes that courage and self-confidence can make those who pursue their dreams without being shocked and at ease. This is the charm of life blooming, and this is the kinetic energy of spiritual growth.

Leaving the familiar job, Zhao Haiying pinned all his hopes on Guanghan Company. But the days of waiting are long, in the past few days, Zhao Haiying was extremely excited when he heard the phone ringing, and when he received the coveted Guanghan entry call, he was so excited that he didn't sleep all night. He didn't know that he was able to pass the interview this time, thanks to another person, and this person was Xu Hanzhi.

When Su Mingkang handed over the list of qualified job seekers to Xu Hanzhi, the latter keenly noticed that Zhao Haiying's name was not among them, so he asked: "I remember that Zhao Haiying also came to participate, why is there no name for him?" ”

Faced with the boss's questioning, Su Mingkang was a little surprised, and quickly explained: "This Zhao Haiying, who originally worked in the Jing'an office, came to beg me to buy their Jing'an stock a few days ago, but came to the company for an interview yesterday. ”

Xu Hanzhi knew in his heart that Su Mingkang was a cautious person, and he guessed that he would deliberately make things difficult for Zhao Haiying's interview, but he didn't break it, but helped Zhao Haiying out: "I know that he came to sell stocks, and I also promised him to let him be my stock manager." ”

At this time, Su Mingkang was very surprised and said, "Since you have given him such a big opportunity, why did he resign for an interview?" This is called eating the bowl and looking at the pot, he must want to rely on a little friendship with you to come to us Guanghan through the back door. ”

"So you mean, I'm going through the back door?" Xu Hanzhi asked Su Mingkang directly, and then Su Mingkang panicked, and quickly explained: "I just mean he doesn't have this ability." And the most important thing is that this Zhao Haiying has no undergraduate diploma at all, and his education is too low, which does not meet the company's employment requirements at all. ”

Xu Hanzhi didn't care: "I took the time to look at the interview that day, and I happened to see his group, and his answers were not bad." ”

At this time, Su Mingkang was surprised and weak-hearted, after all, Zhao Haiying performed well in the interview, and many questions were answered very uniquely: "But this academic qualification is ...... The company's recruitment requirements have not changed for so many years, and if he is admitted exceptionally, I am afraid that it will not be fair to other employees of the company, and I am afraid that it will be controversial......"

Unexpectedly, Xu Hanzhi didn't care about this: what about the controversy, the ability of the staff is what the company values most. Zhao Haiying has something that many people don't have, he can see a kind of strength in Zhao Haiying's eyes, and finally he directly stated his attitude: "I hope to give this young man a chance, if he can't pass the probationary assessment, it means that he has no ability to stay." Xu Hanzhi's words were all said for this part, Su Mingkang could only accept it helplessly, but he began to make other calculations in his heart.

Anyway, Zhao Haiying finally came to Guanghan Company and became a formal intern.

On the first day of work, Su Mingkang conducted induction training for several new employees. He first congratulated the interns on passing the interview of Guanghan Trust, but quickly reminded: "You have a three-month probationary period, and you must complete the tasks of the probationary period before you can become a full-time employee." ”

As he spoke, he set his eyes on Zhao Haiying, who was immersed in happiness, did not feel the hostility from Su Mingkang, but smiled happily at him.

Su Mingkang was in a good mood, but seeing Zhao Haiying's smug smile, a wave of anger rushed to his head, and he continued: "During the internship period, you have to seek good development customers for the company, once the company establishes the project and reviews your project book, it means that you can continue to stay in this company, otherwise, ......" Speaking of this, he turned his gaze to Zhao Haiying again, his eyes were obviously full of murder, "Otherwise, just leave, our Guanghan Company will not support employees who are not able to eat idle meals." Hearing these words, the newcomers who have just joined the company are like being beaten with chicken blood, and they are full of energy.

Not surprisingly, Zhao Haiying was assigned to the investment department where Su Mingkang worked. The investment department, as the name suggests, is the most important thing to find good project investment for the company, and of course, it is also very important to attract customers, which is very suitable for Zhao Haiying.

Zhao Haiying walked to his seat with documents and a box of office supplies, greeted his colleagues with a smile, and everyone smiled perfunctorily at Zhao Haiying, and then started to do their work again. The atmosphere was a little awkward for a while, but he didn't think about it so much, and the whole person immediately became happy again, after all, he was one step closer to his goal. Looking at the high-end desk, he began to look forward to his future. He excitedly imagined that his life was about to start a new chapter, and no matter what happened in the future, he would work hard to realize his dreams, and live up to his heart.

At this time, Pudong has also ushered in a new journey. On May 3, 1990, the wind was mild, the blue sky was full of white clouds, and the citizens of Shanghai were shopping, going to work, and cooking as usual, but this day was extraordinary.

In a small alley in Pudong, it was crowded with people early in the morning, and everyone was witnessing a historic moment: the Shanghai Municipal People's ** Pudong Development Office and the Shanghai Pudong Development Planning Research and Design Institute were officially established. This means that the development of Pudong is officially on the right track.

Naturally, the reporters will not let go of this good opportunity, and Zhao Guoping, one of the main persons in charge of the Pudong Development Office, is the target of their interview. After a while, Zhao Guoping was surrounded by reporters. However, he likes this situation very much, and having a reporter interview means that everyone pays great attention to Pudong. He has always believed that the media, as a bridge between the people and the people, is the best microphone and can well convey the measures of the media to the people.

In the face of reporters' questions, he replied directly: "From now on, Pudong will be developed on a large scale and a new economic and technological development zone will be established!" ”

"But now that Shanghai already has three economic and technological development zones, why should the Pudong New Area be established? Isn't the establishment of the Pudong New Area a waste of resources? It was none other than Wu Yibai who asked this pointed question.

Zhao Guoping looked at Wu Yibai, smiled, and replied very seriously: "At present, the projects in the three existing economic and technological development zones in Shanghai are basically saturated, and Pudong is just a treasure land for development and an ideal place for foreign investment. The central government has approved 350 square kilometers of Pudong New Area as a development zone, which is the largest development zone in China so far. ”

Wu Yibai continued to ask: "Then the central government's decision to develop Pudong and Shanghai to further open up means that it will compete with Guangdong and Fujian, surpass them, or even replace them?" There are also Hong Kong media who have speculated that the central government is now going to build a Shanghai to replace the status of the first? ”

Wu Yibai threw out such a question, Zhao Guoping was not surprised, because this Wu Yibai is a good friend of his son, and his personality is somewhat similar to Zhao Haiying. Zhao Guoping replied very seriously: "With the opening up and development of Pudong, Shanghai will definitely compete with some special economic zones and economic and technological development zones. Competition can promote progress, and a little competition is better than nothing. But I believe that in general there is more cooperation than competition. As he spoke, Zhao Guoping took a few different teacups and put them on the table, making an analogy, "Each teacup is different, just like the different levels and advantages of the industrial structure in Shanghai and other regions, many industries can be done in other districts, but not in Shanghai, but there are quite a lot of industries that do well in Shanghai, but they can't do it in other regions." As for surpassing Guangdong and Fujian, now we are actually surpassing them in many aspects, such as science and technology, but on the other hand, such as light industry, etc., the variety of products in South China in recent years is more than Shanghai, and their characteristics are different. ”

Zhao Guoping's interview soon appeared in the newspaper, and this passage was published verbatim in the article. Wu Yibai took the newspaper and handed it to Zhao Haiying, and Zhao Haiying smiled when he saw it. He estimated that only Wu Yibai dared to ask such a sharp question to his father. He sometimes felt that the job of a journalist was not suitable for Wu Yibai, and that diplomats might be more suitable, and that he could make foreign diplomats half angry.

Thinking of work, Zhao Haiying's mood plummeted. It was raining outside the window, and the glass windows were full of dense droplets, and Zhao Haiying sat at his desk in a daze. Since he entered Guanghan Company, he has been idle every day and has nothing to do, but Huang Bin, who entered the company together, is very busy every day, and there are always endless documents on the table.

Su Mingkang glanced at Zhao Haiying, who was in a daze, walked up to him, and said deliberately: "Zhao Haiying, although it is an internship period, our Guanghan Company has also given a salary. You are receiving your salary and blowing the Haili air conditioner, but you are here in a daze for me, do you want to do it? ”

Zhao Haiying said with some embarrassment: "Director Su, I'm just thinking about the problem. I don't have any customer information here, so everything is a mess. Many customers hung up on my phone directly, and before they heard me about the project, they ......"

Before Zhao Haiying could finish speaking, Su Mingkang interrupted him: "Hang up your phone, don't you know to talk to someone in person?" Without information, you don't know that you are going to investigate one by one? If you are in a daze here, you can find a good development project for the company? ”

Although Su Mingkang's words were sarcastic, Zhao Haiying felt that it was very reasonable, as if he had suddenly enlightened, and hurriedly said, "Director Su, I ...... I'm going to go to the customer. ”

However, things were far from going as smoothly as Zhao Haiying imagined, and after a day, not a single customer was negotiated. To put it bluntly, no one wants to waste their time on an intern. Thinking that the three-month internship period is coming to an end, it is no wonder that if this situation continues, it is no wonder that you can qualify! Zhao Haiying, who was in a depressed mood, came to the Qian family. Since he was a child, whenever he was in a bad mood, as long as he ate a bowl of wontons made by Sun Mingfang, he forgot all his troubles.

Qian Dongmei looked at Zhao Haiying, who was very tired sitting on the sofa, and asked with concern, "San'er, what's wrong with you?" ”

"Alas, don't mention it, today I went to meet a few customers, either closed the door and didn't see them, or let me find a leader to talk, and I didn't want to see me at all. I don't have any customer resources, how can I pull the project? Zhao Haiying said with a sad face.

When Qian Dongmei heard this, she also sat down on the sofa slowly and sighed.

Zhao Haiying saw that Qian Dongmei's situation was not quite right today, and asked curiously: "Sister Dongmei, what's wrong with you?" ”

Qian Dongmei glanced outside the door and saw that Sun Mingfang and Qian Qingqing were far away, and said softly: "I recently want to resign." ”

"Resign?" Zhao Haiying's eyes widened, he never thought that Qian Dongmei would have the idea of resigning.

Qian Dongmei explained: "You also know, Chunsheng has just changed jobs, Qingqing is still in college, and the business of the grocery store is only enough for some family expenses. But with my current salary, I'm afraid that saving for 50 years will not be enough to buy a 70-square-meter house in Puxi. There was just an opportunity, a medical device company directly under the Health Bureau wanted to poach me, yes, it was Zhang Xiang's unit! ”

Qian Dongmei is talking about Yongkang Medical Device Factory, and Zhao Haiying still has some understanding of this company: "You must have your own ideals." Work must first be loved in order to do it well, as long as there is a better choice, I will never hesitate, people are going to a high place! In the end, he directly stated his attitude, "I am the first to support your resignation!" ”

Qian Dongmei, who had been a little hesitant, heard Zhao Haiying say this, and her whole person was full of fighting spirit. Zhao Haiying's support made Qian Dongmei stick to her choice: resign.

Sun Mingfang knew that after her daughter resigned, she was anxious, she didn't understand why her daughter was studying as a nurse, why did she have to go to work in a medical machinery factory, could it be that she couldn't move the machine?

The news soon spread in the small alley. When neighbor Li Guifen heard this, she couldn't sit still. This Li Guifen is notoriously nosy, her ears are sharper than anyone else, and she likes to talk about anyone who has a stir. No, Qian Dongmei didn't do it as a good nurse, she had to go to the factory, she watched Qian Dongmei grow up, and she couldn't watch her jump into the fire pit. In addition, she also has her own selfishness, her son Siyan has liked Qian Dongmei since he was a child, and she will be her daughter-in-law in the future. Thinking of this, Li Guifen felt that this task was very arduous. My son Siyan is a self-employed entrepreneur, he has opened a barber shop, and his business is not bad, but what is missing? What is lacking is security, no establishment, no insurance, how to provide for the elderly in the future? How good a job in the hospital, being a nurse, stable and decent.

However, no matter how good Sun Mingfang and Li Guifen persuaded each other, Qian Dongmei was determined to resign. In a fit of rage, she ran out of the house.

She covered her face and ran out of the alley, just in time to bump into Siyan and go to Qian's house in a panic. As soon as Siyan went home, he heard that Li Guifen went to find Sun Mingfang, so he didn't have to think about it, he was nosy again. Before he reached Qian's house, he saw Qian Dongmei with red eyes.

Four Eyes asked in surprise, "Dongmei?" Are you crying? Qian Dongmei didn't speak, she just kept crying. At this time, he was distressed, he looked at Qian Dongmei, his eyes were full of tenderness, "Dongmei, you just go and do what you want to do!" The nurses are so hard, you work three shifts at any time, and it's hard for me to see you. Yongkang company, you go to work there. What is stable and unstable, with me, it is stable, even if you don't go to work, I will support you! Dongmei, do what you want, the more you worry, the more you can't make a decision. Aren't you looking to buy a house in Puxi? I'm trying to make money, you see my barbershop business, it's good. In the future, I will definitely work harder to buy you a big house in Puxi! So, do whatever you want, and I've got you! ”

Qian Dongmei cried so much that she hugged the four-eyed brother. The four eyes gently patted Qian Dongmei's back, and the street lamp shone on the two of them, pulling the shadows long.

3

With the support of Zhao Haiying and Four Eyes, Qian Dongmei officially resigned from the hospital and came to Yongkang Medical Device Factory. Within two days of joining the company, he caught up with the upsurge of equipment factory reform.

In order to separate the government from the enterprise and the separation of ownership and management rights, Yongkang Medical Device Factory was formally reformed into Yongkang Medical Device Co., Ltd., becoming a socialist commodity producer and operator with independent operation and self-financing, and the ability of self-transformation and self-development. Yongkang Medical Device Factory is also one of the few state-owned enterprise reform pilot units in Pudong, Shanghai.

At the site of the company's establishment ceremony, Han Yaoqiang personally unveiled the plaque, and the scene was a lively atmosphere. The establishment of Yongkang Medical Equipment Co., Ltd. means that they need to introduce advanced modern management models and learn advanced experience. He looked at Qian Dongmei, who had just joined the company, and made a request that made her jaw-dropping: "You have worked in Huashan Hospital for many years, and you may be more familiar with medical care than me, so this time, I want you to go to the United States with me!" ”

"The United States?" This is a place that Qian Dongmei never dreamed of, she had only heard of this place in Zhao Haiying's mouth before, and now she can actually go to the United States herself. Her eyes widened, a little flattered.

Han Yaoqiang explained: "We have engaged in a responsibility contracting system to expand production, and this time the equipment in the city has been approved, and it will be in place at one time, 200,000 US dollars, to fund us to purchase the most advanced equipment in the United States!" This is a benefit that no other unit can envy! Therefore, our company can not live up to the support of the state and the world! In the end, he said to Qian Dongmei, "You go shopping and exercise together!" ”

For the first time, Qian Dongmei had a feeling that she was valued and appreciated, and it turned out that this feeling was so good.

After knowing the news that Qian Dongmei was going abroad, Sun Mingfang no longer nagged about her resignation, after all, she was going to the United States, which was a place that many people dreamed of! She has never been to the United States in her life, and now that her daughter is going abroad, Sun Mingfang's face is also bright, and she talks to her neighbors with a little pride.

On the streets of the United States, pedestrians shuttle, and under the street lamps, several men are holding paper cups of coffee, peeking at beautiful women passing by. Buses and sedans are full of fashion, and European-style architecture looks chaotic but full of charm.

Han Yaoqiang's main purpose in coming to the United States this time was to discuss cooperation with Huamei Group and purchase advanced equipment from there. This is undoubtedly a very valuable learning opportunity, Qian Dongmei is very serious, and writes down everything she saw and heard in the machinery factory. In just a few days, the notebook was already full of content.

They were invited to visit Huamei Pharmaceutical Machinery Factory, which is very large, clean and tidy, and all personnel entering the site must wear disinfection clothing. On the production line, all kinds of products are being produced in a neat and orderly manner, and there are many computer equipment running. Qian Dongmei was very curious about everything, and at the same time shocked.

She saw medical syringes that were half as small in diameter as the usual size, which would undoubtedly reduce the patient's pain and the extent of the damage to the skin.

But what she was more interested in was the fact that the workers wore sterile gloves and packed the divided cotton balls into small bags. She marveled at the business acumen of Americans. Domestic production of medical supplies, selling gauze is a big bundle, selling cotton is a big bag, selling medical equipment and knives, forks and scissors is a lot of a lot, many hospitals do not want it, saying that it is not easy to take care of, and they have been giving down prices. But the Americans cleverly made gauze into a small roll, and the cotton into a small bag, with a pair of scissors, a pair of tweezers and other small items in it, to make a whole package, which not only reduced the cost, but also gave full play to the value of these small things.

Han Yaoqiang sighed: "We not only came to buy equipment, but also to learn their technology!" After Qian Dongmei heard this, she quickly wrote this sentence down in her notebook.

After the visit, it is time for the most important time to negotiate, negotiating the price, which is commonly known as bargaining. This is easy for Han Yaoqiang, a man from Shanghai, and the reason he gave made Americans unable to refute at all: "We definitely want to buy things, but you have to discount the price a little more!" We need to promote the exchange of medical culture between China and the United States! The Americans who took them to visit couldn't make the decision, saying that they would go back to discuss with the boss, Han Yaoqiang was very happy, and raised his hand exaggeratedly and said "OK". As a result, as soon as he shook his hand, he hit a lady behind him, and he hurriedly said in very broken English: "So."

y，So

y！ The lady smiled and said "It's okay" in Chinese.

Qian Dongmei was shocked, the woman Han Yaoqiang met was Chen Menglei; Also surprised was Chen Menglei. When I see acquaintances in a foreign country, I am very affectionate. At Chen Menglei's warm invitation, Qian Dongmei had dinner with her.

This is an upscale western restaurant, on the 20th floor, the floor-to-ceiling windows are a bustling New York night scene, neon lights flashing, streamers floating. Qian Dongmei looked at everything in front of her, very emotional, and thought that this was what Zhao Haiying was thinking about. She was in a trance, and Chen Menglei opened her mouth: "Sister Dongmei, why did you come to the United States?" Is it a delegation from Huashan Hospital? ”

"I changed jobs, in Yongkang Medical Equipment Company, this time I came with the general manager to buy equipment." Qian Dongmei explained.

Hearing that Qian Dongmei had changed jobs, Chen Menglei was still a little surprised, but her face remained calm: "The level of medical devices in the United States has always been very high, to be honest, it will take more than ten years for China to catch up." China still needs to learn more and introduce more, which is helpful to transform China's foreign trade system. ”

Qian Dongmei said bluntly: "I don't know what the system is, I just hope that the company can develop well!" ”

Chen Menglei smiled, the experience of life in the United States made her see the ugly side of human nature, everyone is desperately climbing up for profit and money, and a simple and kind person like Qian Dongmei is simply a clear stream.

At this time, the waiter brought a bottle of opened red wine, put it in the decanting vessel, and poured it for Chen Menglei and Qian Dongmei.

Qian Dongmei took a small sip, swallowed the wine into her stomach very painfully, and did not forget to drink a few sips of boiled water after drinking. The taste of this wine was very novel, she couldn't accept it, frowned and said, "This wine should be very expensive, right?" However, I think the wine made by the old lady himself is better and sweeter than this. ”

Chen Menglei just smiled and didn't speak.

Qian Dongmei said with some hesitation: "Xiaoying has also changed jobs now, no longer in the Jing'an Exchange, in a financial company, doing a very good job!" ”

Hearing Zhao Haiying's recent situation, Chen Menglei's heart twitched suddenly, and her smile became a little stiff. Qian Dongmei continued: "This company is much better than Jing'an, and it is engaged in finance. You know that Kitty is a very capable person, and he will definitely be able to earn a lot of money in the future, and no one will look down on him at that time! ”

Qian Dongmei's unintentional words made Chen Menglei's heart feel a little uncomfortable. If these words came out of Wu Yibai or Zhang Xiang's mouth, they must have deliberately mocked her; But when it came out of Qian Dongmei's mouth, it was unintentional, thinking of this, Chen Menglei drank all the red wine in the cup, and then smiled faintly and said, "That's good." ”

After a glass of wine, Chen Menglei suddenly felt a sharp pain in her stomach, she frowned, and asked the waiter for a cup of hot water.

Qian Dongmei saw that something was wrong, and asked with concern, "What's wrong with you?" Does your stomach hurt? ”

Chen Menglei held the hot water sent by the waiter and said, "Maybe I was in a hurry to drink just now." ”

At this time, Qian Dongmei suddenly remembered that before leaving, the four-eyed goth specially sent all kinds of things that she usually likes to eat, and also took some medicine, saying that it was just in case, but she didn't expect it to really come in handy.

Qian Dongmei rummaged through the bag, grabbed out a few boxes of medicine, and handed them to Chen Menglei. At the same time, Qian Dongmei found a delicate small box in the bag, and when she opened it, it turned out to be a ring and a small folded note, which read: "Dongmei, marry me." ”

Qian Dongmei's eyes turned red, and she said with tears in her smile: "Four Eyes proposed to me." ”

Chen Menglei also happily blessed: "Brother Four-Eyed is still so subtle, he is even careful to propose." Congratulations, Sister Dongmei, I wish you happiness. ”

Qian Dongmei laughed happily. She didn't see it, Chen Menglei's eyes were moist, and there was a hint of envy and sadness in her eyes.

The inspection ended soon, and Qian Dongmei not only learned advanced foreign technology, but also gained love. She specially bought a lot of delicious things in the United States, and sent them to Zhao Haiying after returning to China, and distributed the things to the three of them. In addition, she had one more thing she wanted to ask the three stooges for help with.

"We bought the equipment in our unit and sent it back after two months, but although the money for our factory building was approved by the bank, it didn't come down. Mr. Han is anxious! I think you are all engaged in finance, is there a relationship in this regard? I'm also going to make a meritorious ......" Qian Dongmei was a little embarrassed.

"Is there something wrong with the bank's loans?" Zhao Haiying asked.

Zhang Xiang, who is already the head of the finance department, explained: "The Finance Bureau has approved it, the bank is just going through the procedure, and the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China is too slow, I think it will take half a year at the earliest." When the equipment is shipped back, it will be stored in the warehouse of the port warehouse, and all that will be burned every day is money. ”

"Yes, this factory can't be built, and it's useless for our equipment to come back!" Qian Dongmei said worriedly.

Wu Yibai reminded: "Isn't Du Li in the People's Bank? ”

"That's right!" Zhang Xiang slapped his thigh, "Isn't Du Li's job to coordinate these?" Haiying, I don't have enough face, if you ask Du Li to help, he will definitely sell you face. My salary and that of your eldest sister depend on yours......"

As soon as Du Li received a call from Zhao Haiying, he originally thought that he was going to reminisce about the past, but when he heard that it was the technological transformation of state-owned enterprises, he immediately became interested, and immediately expressed his attitude: "Our bank must support it, you ask Zhang Xiang to prepare a material, and I will talk to the director of the credit department of the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China about the situation." Rest assured, Seahawk! I'm sure I'll help you get it done! ”

A few days later, Zhang Xiang and Qian Dongmei handed over the documents to Han Yaoqiang, and even Han Yaoqiang himself was surprised, it turned out that it was easy to do things if the bank had acquaintances, and the loan came down in just a few days. However, he glanced at the amount given by the bank, and his brows furrowed again: "Why is it so little?" ”

It turned out that because it was the peak of the reform of state-owned enterprises recently, many enterprises were borrowing from banks, and there were more monks and less porridge, so Yongkang Company received a pitiful amount of money. Du Li's ability can only help them advance the loan date as much as possible, and the money given by the bank is only enough to build a factory, where should their working capital and money for the purchase of supporting facilities come from?

Like Han Yaoqiang, Zhao Haiying has also had a bad headache recently. Seeing that it was about to be the day to report the project, Zhao Haiying did not have a project, so he was very weak-hearted. However, a reminder from Qian Dongmei gave him a bold idea: the amount of the bank's loan to Yongkang is pitiful, why can't Guanghan and Yongkang cooperate? He wrote down his ideas into a plan and prepared to report it at the final assessment at the end of the internship. When it came to the day of the report, Zhao Haiying beat the drum in his heart, but he still said his own project: "My project is Yongkang Medical Device Company, they carry out technological reform and need financing, which is expected to be about 4 million and the profit is ......."

When Su Mingkang heard that it was "medical machinery", he immediately interrupted, "The unit directly under the Health Bureau? Su Mingkang smiled, looked at Zhao Haiying, and said contemptuously, "Do you know what the situation of state-owned enterprises is now?" The cooperation between private and state-owned enterprises is not beneficial! Their benefits can go down at any time, and when they do, how much debt do we have to take on for them, you know? ”

"However, the restructuring of Yongkang medical equipment is very successful, and it has been approved by the city, and it has just returned from a large number of the most advanced equipment in the United States, and the bank has also lent them money to build a factory...... It is a state-owned enterprise with great potential, as long as we ......"

Zhao Haiying still wanted to make a final effort, but was directly opposed by Su Mingkang: "Their money comes from **, that money comes from the bank, and they still have money to match, how good can the benefits be?" Do you think we are doing charity? Zhao Haiying, we are engaged in finance, where to make money and where to invest, money is the king! In the end, he directly left a sentence, "This project has a small return and slow returns, I can't agree!" You've been denied! ”

Zhao Haiying came out of the conference room dejectedly, the internship period was about to end, and if this situation continued, the possibility of him staying in Guanghan Company was almost zero.

Soon, the results of the internship came out, and Huang Bin had outstanding performance and excellent performance during the probationary period, and officially joined a group of Guanghan Company and became a regular employee. Zhao Haiying was unexpectedly unqualified, he sat lonely in the corner, silently packing up his office supplies. It's just that he didn't know that because of Gu Ying's help, his project actually came into the hands of Xu Hanzhi, and after Xu Hanzhi saw the plan, he was very interested and immediately decided to set up the project. He called Zhao Haiying to the office and asked him to make a more detailed analysis of the financing commission prediction.

Zhao Haiying couldn't believe that this was true, and couldn't make a sound for a long time. Xu Hanzhi asked, "What, do you have any questions?" ”

Zhao Haiying felt that he had lost his temper at this time, and hurriedly said: "I'm just a little surprised, this case has been denied by Director Su, why did it ...... again?"

Xu Hanzhi smiled: "I have long heard my brother say that he has a 'number of students', with many problems, many requirements, and many troubles, and it is indeed worthy of his reputation." ”

Zhao Haiying looked at Xu Hanzhi in surprise, "Xu Jingzhi...... Xu Hanzhi ......", he instantly understood, and asked instead: "Mr. Xu, is it because of this reason that you left me and passed my proposal?" ”

Xu Hanzhi smiled, he pointed to the four big characters on the wall, "Integrity Casting Gold", and explained: "This is the ancestral motto of our Xu family, my great-grandfather personally inscribed, this ink treasure was passed on to my grandfather, my grandfather passed it on to my father, and my father passed it on to me." Those who are sincere are also the way of heaven; Those who believe are also the way of man. My father told me that following the way of heaven and pursuing integrity is the principle of being a human being and the principle of doing business. Therefore, the criterion by which I judge any project is these four words. I passed your case because it was meaningful, not humane. ”

Hearing this, Zhao Haiying suddenly brightened. Xu Hanzhi further explained: "There is no shortage of talented people in the company, but young people with a pattern in their minds and a long-term vision are what the company needs. In order to successfully pass the probationary period, new employees will try to find the projects that are most beneficial to the company, in other words, the ones with the lowest risk and the highest profits. However, you are different, and from your proposal, I see a pattern and your unique investment vision. You mentioned 'localization' in the plan, which is very accurate, which is why you proposed to adopt the project financing plan, right? ”

What Xu Hanzhi said was in Zhao Haiying's arms. Zhao Haiying believes that many domestic goods are unsalable, and the country spends a lot of money to introduce foreign products, just like the color TV industry, and it costs 600 million US dollars to import color TV parts every year. If our enterprises introduce technology and put into production projects and continuously expand the scale of production, we can save more than 600 million US dollars in foreign exchange every year, so we now advocate the "localization" of state-owned enterprises. This time, Yongkang Medical Equipment Company saw this opportunity, introduced the most advanced production equipment in the United States, and also learned the most advanced technology. Although the initial investment is large, the product structure and quality will be greatly improved, and it will become a real domestic brand product.

Xu Hanzhi smiled and nodded: "Now many domestic medical device factories have outdated equipment, and the products are relatively rough. Yongkang Company made a good move and seized the opportunity. I agree with you, they have a lot of potential. ”

The two of them were chatting speculatively, when Su Mingkang knocked on the door and walked into Xu Hanzhi's office, saw Zhao Haiying, was obviously surprised, and saw the plan on the table, and guessed probably: "Mr. Xu, I'm really sorry, this plan is very immature, and I have rejected it." Zhao Haiying is a skipping report, I didn't manage my subordinates well, and I violated the company's regulations. ”

Xu Hanzhi didn't care: "I have already approved Xiao Zhao's plan and am ready to set up the project." ”

At this time, Su Mingkang's eyes widened, and his tone was very tough: "The company has no precedent for cooperation with state-owned enterprises, and this plan is very immature, the commission is low, and the repayment period is too long, such a project has obvious defects and does not meet the company's requirements." Su Mingkang was openly against Xu Hanzhi, and Zhao Haiying on the side was a little embarrassed and left with interest.

However, this time Su Mingkang is not completely aimed at Zhao Haiying, he also has his own considerations, he believes that in recent years, there are more and more companies in the trust industry, although they have some advantages, but the more this period of time, the more careful and careful selection of projects. State-owned enterprises have large stalls and conservative thinking, and their main channels of financing are also banks. Take Zhao Haiying's project as an example, if such a trust loan is made to Yongkang, it is similar to a bank loan, but their conditions are much more relaxed and flexible, the commission is low, and the repayment cycle is very long, which is equivalent to letting Guanghan and Yongkang share the business risk.

Regarding Su Mingkang's worries, Xu Hanzhi naturally knew in his heart that such a situation did exist objectively, but this project has its particularity and medium and long-term value. He finally chose a compromise method: "The inspection work of this project will be arranged by you, let Xiao Zhao investigate this Yongkang medical device in depth, and we should not be in a hurry to deny it before the detailed report comes out." Xu Hanzhi said this, and it was meaningless for Su Mingkang to say more, so he could only leave in a gloomy manner.

Back in the office, Su Mingkang directly called Zhao Haiying in, and regardless of his identity, he yelled at him directly: "A newcomer dares to report to the next level, do you not understand the rules, or are you too scheming?" ”

Zhao Haiying also wondered how his plan could come into Xu Hanzhi's hands, but Su Mingkang didn't listen to the explanation at all, and directly reminded: "People who pretend to be confused in front of me are not smart people. Your resume clearly states that you have worked in Yongkang Medical Device Factory, I want to know if you have any selfish intentions for this proposal? ”

Zhao Haiying is not shy about it, and takes the initiative to admit that there is, but it is limited to the understanding of Yongkang's past. He also made his position clear: "Rest assured that I will never sacrifice or compromise the interests of the company. I have already reported this to Mr. Xu just now. Moreover, there were some misunderstandings when I left Yongkang, and Mr. Han is still unwilling to trust me. ”

"What do you mean by not trusting you?" Su Mingkang showed a strong interest in this.

Zhao Haiying explained: "I did a preliminary survey for that proposal, and I also wanted to contact Mr. Han directly, but he refused. So I'd like to ask the director if you can arrange for other colleagues to follow up on this project. I'm worried that this project has been affected because of my personal reasons. ”

Su Mingkang was worried that he couldn't fix Zhao Haiying, but he sent it to the door by himself, and he said with a serious expression: "Everyone in the investment department has a job in their hands, and besides, you directly submitted this project to Mr. Xu, and you are the direct person in charge." I don't care what your reason is, the research and investigation of this project must be followed up by you. ”

The rain kept falling, and the sky was covered with large dark clouds, and there was no intention of receding at all.

Zhao Haiying stood in the rain with an umbrella, waiting for Han Yaoqiang. Han Yaoqiang has been dizzy by a lot of things recently, first of all, the equipment imported from the United States is about to arrive at the port warehouse, but their factory has not yet been built. The rent for one day in the port warehouse is frighteningly expensive, and if their equipment is stored in the port for ten days, the rent alone is enough for him to renovate another warehouse. Then there is the construction of the canteen of the factory, because the money is not in place, the windows cannot be built, and in the final analysis, there is still no money. Money money money, Han Yaoqiang gets up every morning, his mind is full of money.

Zhao Haiying had already visited last week, and he handed over Guanghan's materials and project plan to Han Yaoqiang, but he was refused. No, a week later, he came again. When Han Yaoqiang saw Zhao Haiying, his already painful head hurt again.

Zhao Haiying did not give up, and directly followed Han Yaoqiang into the factory. Zhao Haiying already knew the news of Yongkang's lack of money, he followed behind Han Yaoqiang, and tried to persuade him: "We Guanghan can provide you with financing, as long as you nod, the matter of funds can be solved immediately." You have also seen the plan, and I believe that there is no more flexible loan conditions in the whole of Shanghai than our trust loans. Please think again. ”

Han Yaoqiang's attitude was still resolute: "I don't agree!" "This time Zhao Haiying made a difficulty, Han is strong, he is really as strong as his name, so strong, he is obviously about to run out of food, and he has to die to save face. In the end, it was Qian Chunsheng who reminded Zhao Haiying: "In my experience, if you can't do it on the front, you have to attack it from the side!" ”

The sun hung high in the sky, and the midday sun looked a little bright.

Zhao Haiying got the gossip from Zhang Xiang and knew that although Han Yaoqiang was very strong at work, he was famous for loving his wife, and his wife said ten words to others in one sentence. If he can gain his wife's trust, maybe he can help him speak. Zhao Haiying planned to start with Mrs. Han first and attack from the side. Through many inquiries, he learned that Mrs. Han likes to watch art exhibitions, and Zhao Haiying came up with an idea.

In the Shanghai Exhibition Center, the Aili Garden, which is full of 20th century European architectural style, looks more magnificent under the sunlight, and all kinds of fountains are open, which is magnificent and majestic. The exhibition is held in one of the small galleries, and visitors enter with a ticket. This small art exhibition, which is not open to the public, attracts a lot of people. Zhao Haiying followed the crowd into the exhibition hall with the ticket, looking for Mrs. Han.

The works displayed in the exhibition are mainly oil paintings, and the walls of the exhibition hall are hung with oil paintings of different styles. Dressed elegantly and with a small bag in her hand, Madame Han was talking about the painting with her two guests.

Zhao Haiying stood not far away, looking over here from time to time, ready to find an opportunity to talk to Mrs. Han. At this time, he saw Mrs. Han stop in front of an oil painting and was fascinated. The painting is not very colorful, and it shows a little girl standing in the forest, surrounded by a group of monsters with teeth and claws, the little girl holding a small rabbit in her hand, pouting, and staring at the monsters with a determined gaze, as if to warn them not to approach.

Zhao Haiying walked over gently, pretending to be an expert and admired the painting. A few days ago, after doing his homework, he had some insights into the aesthetics of oil painting. He took the initiative to talk to Mrs. Han: "This painting is well handled in the details of light and shadow, the little girl still has tears in her eyes, her firm expression is just to hide her inner uneasiness, but in the face of so many fierce beasts, she still protects the little rabbit in her hand, the meaning of this painting is very good." ”

Mrs. Han also said with interest: "Yes, the painting style is both rough and delicate. This little girl's eyes are really touching......" Mrs. Han said as she looked at the oil painting affectionately.

Zhao Haiying could see that Mrs. Han was very interested in oil paintings, so she asked, "Madame likes this painting very much?" ”

Mrs. Han nodded with a slight smile and said, "The little girl in this painting reminds me of my little daughter, just as strong and as ......" Before she finished speaking, tears flashed in her eyes again, and her tone was a little choked.

Zhao Haiying hesitated, Mrs. Han collected the tears in her eyes, and said, "She has leukemia and has been away from us for a year...... But she's strong, really strong, just like this little girl. ”

Zhao Haiying didn't know how to comfort him for a while, thought about it and said, "Does Madame want this painting?" ”

"Of course." Mrs. Han replied without hesitation, but her expression quickly dimmed, and her face showed regret, "But...... Today's paintings are only for exhibition, not for sale, otherwise I would be willing to buy it no matter how much it costs. ”

"What if I could buy this painting for you?"

Mrs. Han was a little surprised, she looked at Zhao Haiying for a while, then directly refused, ready to walk away.

Zhao Haiying hurriedly stopped. Mrs. Han and Zhao Haiying looked at each other for a few seconds and said, "There is no free lunch in the world, is there?" You're willing to help me take this painting, I don't think it's just about helping others, I don't want you to trade anything with me with a painting. Moreover, these paintings have won international awards, so it is difficult to buy them even if the organizers come forward, and I don't like people who talk big. So, it doesn't have to be. ”

Zhao Haiying was very frustrated, but he had to seize this opportunity and quickly explained: "Madam, you misunderstood, I don't mean anything else, it's just that this painting has a special meaning for you, so I want to help you." ”

Mrs. Han looked at the oil painting again, her eyes showed love, but when she turned around, her expression calmed down again, and she smiled politely and said to Zhao Haiying: "Young man, thank you for your kindness." I don't want to owe favors to anyone, though. This painting is really important to me, but I don't want you to help. So, thanks, forget it. With that, Mrs. Han left.

Zhao Haiying didn't expect Mrs. Han's attitude to be so resolute, this opportunity that she finally caught seemed to be in vain. Zhao Haiying was very frustrated, and he casually glanced at the lower right corner of the painting, where the writer's name was written: Susa
