Chapter 15 Financial Wrestling Turns the Tide

1

Yongkang has recently developed a new rehabilitation equipment, which is mainly used for postoperative rehabilitation of patients. Xu Shanshan became one of the first patients to use it. Qian Dongmei, as the person in charge of R&D and Zhao Haiying's sister, naturally shouldered the task of taking care of Xu Shanshan. Since Xu Shanshan "caught" Zhao Haiying and Chen Menglei on the spot in the hospital, Zhao Haiying has not contacted Xu Shanshan, which made Xu Shanshan depressed and in no mood to cooperate with Qian Dongmei at all.

Qian Dongmei worked hard to instruct: "Lift the lower limbs, leave the feet off the bed, stretch the knee joint, maintain the bypass action of single foot support, and then flex the side knee joint on this leg." Qian Dongmei worked hard, but Xu Shanshan didn't cooperate at all and didn't want to move at all. This made Qian Dongmei sad, she watched Xu Shanshan lose weight day by day, and felt very distressed: "In addition to your fractures, your muscles are also injured, and the bones are good after the operation, but if you don't insist on training, it will be inconvenient to walk in the future." You've been training for so long, and you haven't made much progress. ”

Xu Shanshan lay on the equipment bed, looked at the ceiling, and said thoughtfully: "I don't want me to get better so quickly." ”

Qian Dongmei asked the reason curiously, but Xu Shanshan still looked at the ceiling and did not answer. Suddenly, a necklace fell from the palm of Xu Shanshan's face, and a diamond ring hung from the necklace. Xu Shanshan was a little dazzled, she couldn't believe it, but she reacted immediately, sat up excitedly, and looked at the diamond ring.

Zhao Haiying looked at Xu Shanshan with a smile, holding a bouquet of roses in her hand. He took the diamond ring off the necklace, took it in his hand, got down on one knee and said, "Sanshan, let's start over, shall we?" During this time, I am really too busy to come to see you every day, your birthday is approaching, and I think Dad also hopes that you can be as happy as before. All Xu Shanshan's previous grievances and uneasiness collapsed at this moment, and she burst into tears and hugged Zhao Haiying tightly.

Chen Menglei held the kettle in her hand, looking at the picture of Zhao Haiying and Xu Shanshan hugging excitedly in the recovery room, the diamond ring in Xu Shanshan's hand was very dazzling, and Zhao Haiying also smiled happily. Chen Menglei was expressionless and walked away silently.

In order to discuss matters related to the joint bidding with Yihe Financial Holdings, Ma Yi held a special board meeting, hoping to settle this matter as soon as possible. However, the negotiation process did not go as smoothly as Ma Yi imagined. North Group is a veteran enterprise, most of the directors are conservatives, and some directors think that if there is a problem, they will have to bear joint and several liability, which is not safe; Some directors also felt that the project lacked in-depth research and suggested that they participate in the bidding independently.

Everyone insisted on their own opinions, which made it difficult for the chief director Ma Yi. He explained bitterly: "The project of Shanghai Iron and Steel Company is a project supported by the national industrial policy, what are the doubts? As for the independent bidding proposal, in addition to the credibility issue, the key is that without the participation of Yihe Financial Holding and international capital, it will be difficult for us to succeed in the independent bidding. ”

"Are we going to invest money or not? What about profits? ”

"I strongly disapprove of the pooling of funds. The project bidding is imminent, and I didn't even know the details, so I threw the money into it, no, no! ”

Whenever Ma Yi's voice fell, the directors' discussion became louder. Ma Yi explained: "At present, Yihe Financial Holding is only asking us to make a joint bid to meet the bidding requirements of Shanghai Iron and Steel Company, and as for whether the Northern Group is really involved, we can discuss again." Even if there is any problem, the outside world does not know that we are jointly bidding, we only need to confront Yihe Financial Holdings, and we can naturally get out of the way. Moreover, the steel trading center has a promising future. ”

A director was very vigilant and found a loophole in Ma Yi's words: "Mr. Ma, we are a manufacturing company, I really don't understand why the Northern Group is wading into a muddy water with little interest?" Besides, the steel trade is chaotic and the risks are high, is it worth it? ”

Ma Yi was a little embarrassed, and quickly explained: "This project is developable, and there are international companies like Tuopu Zhitong participating in the cooperation. If the bidding is successful, it means that there is one more opportunity, and we can consider joining it because of our interests and priorities. Now that the profits of the steel industry have doubled, the North Group can also open up new areas. ”

The directors were full of doubts, but they couldn't say anything more.

Although Ma Yi breathed a sigh of relief, the questions raised by the directors also made him a little worried. Unexpectedly, something really happened on the day of the bidding.

At the bidding meeting, representatives of major enterprises sat down one after another. When Zhao Haiying hurriedly came, the bidding meeting had already begun, and in the huge conference room, the lights were a little dim, and Zhao Haiying poked his head to find Ma Yi and He Weiping.

Zhao Haiying sat beside Ma Yi, and He Weiping waved his hand to Zhao Haiying. Ma Yi's expression was a little complicated, and he whispered to Zhao Haiying: "The reserve price of this bid is only 30 million, but everyone's highest bid has reached 55 million, which is far beyond our expectations, and I estimate that our bid is hopeless this time." ”

Zhao Haiying had the same thoughts in his heart, but he found that He Weiping, who was sitting on the side, did not have a trace of sadness, but was seriously looking at the information of the Northern Group, which inevitably made Zhao Haiying a little suspicious.

Soon it was He Weiping's turn to elaborate. He tidied up his suit, stood up a little excitedly, and said confidently: "Hello members of the bidding committee, I am the representative of the North Iron and Steel Group and the Yihe Financial Holding Alliance, and the bid price we gave this time is 70 million. ”

As soon as the words fell, the audience was in an uproar, and Zhao Haiying and Ma Yi looked at He Weiping in surprise.

He Weiping said eloquently: "North Iron and Steel Group is a smelting and processing enterprise, plates, tubes, wires, strips, profile products occupy an important position in domestic output, although Yihe Financial Holding was established for a short time, but we have rich experience in business and trade, is providing information exchange and product transaction credit entrustment for metallurgical enterprises...... these materials are just memorized by him.

In the end, He Weiping won the bid at a price of 70 million. He walked out of the conference room proudly with the information book, but Zhao Haiying was very angry and questioned: "Wasn't your previous bid price 35 million?" Why has it risen to 70 million now? It's ridiculously high, how can you afford this sky-high price? ”

However, He Weiping disagreed, but had his own explanation: "This bid for Yihe Financial Holdings must be won, otherwise Tuopu Zhitong Company will not cooperate with us at all." I inquired privately, and all the bidding companies have raised their bidding prices, so I can only increase them head-on. ”

His words made Ma Yi on the side a little helpless, and now the question is, can Yihe Financial Holdings get so much money?

Speaking of money, He Weiping was not worried at all, he looked at Ma Yi and smiled: "Isn't this still ......" Ma Yi was shocked, and looked at He Weiping angrily and shocked.

At this time, a bunch of reporters gathered around and pointed their cameras and microphones at Ma Yi and He Weiping.

A reporter asked: "Mr. Ma, does the joint bidding between the North Group and Yihe Financial Holdings mean that the North Group is about to open a new business model for the steel industry?" How do you view the future trend of national steel trading? Another reporter immediately asked: "Is the sudden bidding of the Northern Group this time because it doesn't want other bidders to be prepared and ...... with the strength of the Northern Group?"

Faced with the reporters' relentless questions, Zhao Haiying was completely enraged, and pulled He Weiping and Ma Yi out of the crowd and came to the VIP lounge in the hall.

"Why do all journalists know about our joint bid for the Northern Group? Doesn't it mean that we are only nominally united, and there are no other interests involved? As soon as he entered the VIP lounge, Ma Yi questioned He Weiping very seriously.

He Weiping looked sloppy: "I'm just doing publicity." ”

Zhao Haiying was very angry: "You want to force the Northern Group to the table, so that everyone in the outside world knows that you have successfully bid for the Shanghai Iron and Steel project." Even if you can't give the bidding funds, can you still let the Northern Group pay for you under pressure? ”

Faced with Zhao Haiying and Ma Yi's questioning, He Weiping showed a look of indifference, and he explained: "Have you all forgotten? Our real partner is Australia's Tuopu Zhitong Group, and money is not a problem, not a problem. ”

Zhao Haiying felt vaguely uneasy, and he warned He Weiping that it was best to get Tuopu Zhitong's money quickly, and not to think about the idea of fighting the Northern Group. He Weiping smiled slightly, as an answer.

In Child's office, the sound of melodious music wafted, and the three wine glasses collided gently, and Xie Tianyang was already slightly drunk. He didn't expect that this He Weiping really had two hits and was a ruthless character. They only mobilized a few million, and easily won 70 million, which is simply a stroke of genius.

However, He Weiping was a little apprehensive, he won the first battle, he was also very excited, although he behaved very calmly in the bidding meeting, but his palms were already soaked with sweat: "But now it's really not time to celebrate, only by signing a contract with Australia Tuopu Zhitong Group, everything is fine." Mr. Child, time is pressing, or the cooked duck will fly away. ”

However, Xie Tianyang didn't think so, and looked like he was in his chest: "Uncle He! Mr. Caird is well-known on Wall Street, and his partnership with Tuopu Zhitong is a certainty. You're fooling! Watts! ”

Although He Weiping nodded, he always felt uneasy.

Childe added a dash of red wine to the two and said, "This is the Rothschild's best estate in Spain, and it tastes wonderful. Know the secret of their success? ”

Xie Tianyang tasted the wine carefully and said: "The most mysterious ancient family in Europe was once the largest financial kingdom in the world!" ”

"Remember their creed, 'Divine kingship is destined to be replaced by divine gold,'" said Child, with a pretense of posturing. Xie Tianyang and He Weiping were silent.

Caird patted He Weiping on the shoulder, as if comforting: "I booked a plane ticket for tomorrow to go to Australia to negotiate with Tuopu Zhitong, and I will warmly invite them to join the game of pursuing wealth together." ”

At this time, He Weiping can be regarded as completely relieved.

However, Childe overestimated himself, and when he flew across the ocean to the beautiful Sydney Grand Theatre to meet Joyce, the head of TopWise, he found that things were not as smooth as he imagined, and his plan was rejected.

Joyce and Childe are old friends, and he calmly spread his hands and said bluntly: "I have made the reasons for rejecting you very clear, and I know the data completely!" In 1980, China produced only 17 million tons of steel, and 10 years later, in 1990, it produced 60 million tons, but only five or six years later, they have exceeded 100 million tons. In the next 10 years, I think they will produce even more, 300 million, 400 million, 500 million tons, maybe more! ”

"Exports are also increasing rapidly," interjected Henry, who was next to him, "and soon China will be a net exporter of steel." Their steel enterprises are our competitors, formidable opponents, understand? ”

In Child's view, this is not a reason at all, the key problem is that the Chinese market is huge, and through cooperation, you can make a lot of money from the project, which is the ultimate result that every businessman wants.

"Child, we don't doubt that, but if this exchange is built in South Korea, Japan, or the Philippines, we will participate, but not in China, they are growing too fast, and they will carve up our market." Joyce said slowly.

Childe was completely speechless, his eyes of Joyce were hopeless, and this was not to protect the market at all, but to be typical of business conservatism. In the end, Child threw out a sentence: "Without an exchange, Chinese businessmen will develop rapidly!" ”

"Slowing down their development is good for our bottom line." Henry said coldly.

Now Childe completely understands that in order to prevent others from surviving, Tuopu Zhitong would rather give up his interests. Childe threw the last few pages of his hand into the air, stepped on the materials all over the ground, got up gloomily, walked out of the door, and left a sentence: "Tuopu Zhitong, you will regret it!" ”

Hours had passed since the appointed time, but Childe had not returned. He Weiping was in a hurry, he came to the North Group Company, ready to find Ma Yi to think of a way, after all, he and Ma Yi are now grasshoppers on the same rope, and he can't let this burden all fall on himself.

As soon as Ma Yi pushed open the door and walked in, he saw the secretary pouring tea for He Weiping, who was sitting on the sofa.

The secretary stood up and said slowly: "Mr. Ma, this Mr. He said that he was looking for you for something, so I will ask him to ......" Ma Yi waved his hand and motioned for the secretary to go out.

Ma Yi had just finished the board meeting, and the directors were skeptical of his explanation, but they also gave an ultimatum: to get rid of this matter as soon as possible, and there should be no more mistakes. As soon as it was over, I saw He Weiping here, and Ma Yi vaguely felt that something was wrong.

This time, He Weiping and the two of them he saw in the bidding before, with two big dark circles on his face, his beard was unshaven, and his face was haggard.

As soon as He Weiping saw Ma Yi, he directly explained his intention: "The money of Tuopu Zhitong has not yet arrived, and the first ...... of Shanghai Iron and Steel Co., Ltd."

When he heard that the money couldn't arrive, Ma Yi was shocked: "Can't get it?" Why? ”

He Weiping explained: "As for foreign capital injection, there is a time difference, and it takes them at least half a month from review to payment. However, according to the winning contract, the down payment must be received within one week after the successful bidding. Therefore, we have to ask the northern company to advance the down payment to the Shanghai Iron and Steel Company......"

Ma Yi was not happy when he heard it, he showed unusual vigilance after many years of searching in the mall, and he reminded He Weiping that the Northern Group had signed an agreement, but it was only a nominal joint bidding and did not need to contribute funds.

"But the names of our two companies are written on the bidding document, and once the contract is breached, Shanghai Iron and Steel will take us to court, and you will have to pay a large amount of compensation. Moreover, now all walks of life know that the Northern Group and Yihe Financial Holdings jointly won this project, and if they withdraw at this time, I am afraid it will be ......" He Weiping's tone was obviously threatening.

Ma Yi was a little angry, He Weiping immediately changed his face when he saw this, and hurriedly smiled: "Mr. Ma, I'm just talking about the stakes here." Moreover, the funds of Tuopu Zhitong Group can be transferred in two weeks, and the North Group only needs to pay in advance, and as soon as the money of Tuopu Zhitong arrives, it will be repaid to the North Group immediately, and there will be a commission of 2 million. How good our project is, it has attracted much attention in the world, and the addition of your northern group has only interests, no losses! As he spoke, he quickly took out a stack of information from his bag, "I still have all the agreements between Tuopu Zhitong Group and our company here, you can see it, it is absolutely fake!" ”

Ma Yi took the information vigilantly, looked at it carefully, and the content was readily available, and there was really no problem. Ma Yi sorted out his thoughts, He Weiping was right, withdrawing now will only increase the losses of the Northern Group for no reason, and the liquidated damages are a lot of money, but this 30% means 21 million, which is a huge amount of money for the Northern Group. He asked He Weiping to sign the contract immediately, and he would return the original amount of money two weeks later. In the end, Ma Yi added: "There is still 5 million from the Xu family, you must return it as scheduled!" After He Weiping heard this, his heart was full of joy and he hurriedly said yes.

In the old town of Shanghai, the dim street lamps are neatly lined up. It was late at night, the light in Zhao Guoping's living room was still on, and he was still worried about the gifts to be given at the inauguration ceremony of the China Merchants Building.

Pudong has become a fragrant bait, everyone is rushing in, the "leader" is coming, and the "leader" is also coming. What to send to ** China Merchants, but Zhao Guoping was worried.

Zhou Hui said with a smile, Zhao Guoping has simply become a professional gift-giver, and he has to give a gift every few days. According to her, if she sends it again and again, Zhao Guoping's head is estimated to be broken.

"yes, my head is going to break." Zhao Guoping pressed his temples and felt that his inspiration was exhausted.

Looking at Zhao Guoping's appearance, Zhou Hui laughed, helped him massage, and said while massaging: "You, it's not okay to be old, find more young people, and let them give you ideas." ”

At work the next day, Zhao Guoping was still having a headache about gift-giving, and while he was in a meeting, he was still thinking about what to give. At this time, the staff played some hand-drawn small maps on the slide, which Chen Jianhua drew when he was fine. Chen Jianhua was a little surprised to see the map appear on the slide.

Zhao Guoping looked at Chen Jianhua and relieved his doubts: "It was your daughter, Ms. Chen Menglei, who provided it to us." Chen Gong, these maps of yours are so meaningful, witnessing the changes in Shanghai and the development of Pudong. ”

Hearing Zhao Guoping say this, Chen Jianhua was still a little embarrassed. Zhao Guoping proposed that Chen Jianhua personally introduce it to everyone.

Chen Jianhua slowly stood up and talked eloquently, he said the origin of these maps: "I am a Beijinger, and I have never been used to it in the first few years when I was transferred to Shanghai. Don't look at me as an engineer, but I'm also a road idiot, and I can't remember the road every time I go out to do something, so I draw this little picture. I've found this thing not only useful for me, but also for others. There are a lot of foreigners in Shanghai, and there are many road idiots like me, so when I meet someone who asks for directions, I give him a few cards. In the past few years, I have been drawing maps more often because the roads change so quickly. Viaducts, tall buildings, dazzled me. These maps are a testimony to Pudong, and a testimony to the construction and development of the whole of China. ”

Chen Jianhua seemed to say to everyone, as if to say to himself, he looked at the slides wistfully: "I was thinking that when I was free, I wanted to climb the Pearl Tower, see Shanghai from a high place, and draw a panorama of Shanghai, which must be spectacular." ”

Xu Jingzhi on the side added: "Ascending high and looking far, it must be exquisite and different." ”

Suddenly, an inspiration flashed through Zhao Guoping's mind, he was excited, in the surprised eyes of Chen Jianhua and Xu Jingzhi, Zhao Guoping said excitedly: "Two, you have helped us solve a big problem, this is the unexpected gain of today's meeting." ”

Zhao Guoping explained: "**China Merchants Building's inauguration ceremony, the new district** will send congratulatory gifts, this is our traditional program." The two of you just said that you are looking far away, which is very good. We can send an eagle, which means spreading its wings and flying high. Everyone applauded.

On the day of the inauguration ceremony of China Merchants Building in Pudong, Zhao Guoping presented an eagle sculpture on behalf of the new district, implying that China Merchants Bank has eagle-like eyes and is about to spread its wings and soar to the land of Pudong, flapping its wings and flying high, driving Lujiazui to soar into the sky.

Zhao Haiying found that Qian Chunsheng was a little strange recently, and began to frantically want to make money. A few days before his death, Qian Chun mysteriously found him and wanted to ask him for some inside information on stocks. It turned out that a friend of Qian Chunsheng bought and sold stocks, and it only took 10 days to earn more than 2 million, and Qian Chunsheng's eyes were about to pop out when he talked about this. Zhao Haiying immediately strangled his idea in the cradle, and warned Qian Chunsheng very seriously that insider trading is illegal! A lot of the so-called inside information is deliberately spread by various companies in order to compete with the fake news, and many people are deceived by it.

Zhao Haiying didn't listen to what Qian Chunsheng said at all, but questioned: "Haiying, don't you want me to make a lot of money?" Which of the top executives of the Shanghai Stock Exchange does not know the inside information? There is a lot of insider trading, and something happens to me as soon as it comes to me? Zhao Haiying's attitude was very resolute, believing that there was no room for negotiation in this matter.

After this separation, Qian Chunsheng did not contact Zhao Haiying for several days, and the more Zhao Haiying thought about it, the more worried he became, and decided to have a good talk with Qian Chunsheng.

As soon as they came to Qian's house, Qian Qingqing and Sun Mingfang were busy making dumplings, and they were surprised and happy to see Zhao Haiying, leaving him to eat dumplings, but Zhao Haiying was not in the mood and asked if Qian Chunsheng was there.

"As soon as I came back, I ran to the bedroom in a sullen mood! It's all an old Banggua, and I don't know how to go out to party with friends and contact girls! Sun Mingfang was visibly complaining.

As he was talking, Qian Chunsheng came out of the house, also with a complaining tone: "Mom! Am I that old? Also old Banggua! What an exaggeration! ”

Qian Qingqing laughed, but she suddenly found that Zhao Haiying had never laughed from beginning to end since she entered the house. Qian Qingqing was about to ask, but Zhao Haiying asked Qian Chunsheng to go out with him. Qian Chunsheng reluctantly followed Zhao Haiying to a private restaurant.

This is an old-fashioned courtyard house located in Yangjing Street, because the old streets have been demolished, only this road remains, and the boss contracted this courtyard house and changed it into a private restaurant.

Maybe it's because it's in an old-fashioned house, so it's easy to bring back memories of the past. Zhao Haiying ordered a fried pork with bamboo shoots and recalled: "I remember that the two of us liked to eat bamboo shoots the most when we were children, and you couldn't eat them at first, saying that the taste was too strange, and then I stuffed it into your mouth, and I made you like this every time, and then you loved it better than me." ”

Qian Chunsheng laughed: "I can't let bamboo shoots become my weakness, I will be braided by you every day." ”

The familiar smell made the two fall into memories, laughing and talking about their childhood in Lao Cai.

"I still remember one time, someone in a group of friends in our old street actually brought a fireworks stick that everyone had never seen, and Aunt Wang's son, the little fat man, threw the fireworks stick into your crotch, and everyone was stupid." Zhao Haiying recalled.

Speaking of this, Qian Chunsheng laughed: "In the end, you took off my pants and didn't let the fire burn, but I ignored you and the little fat man for a week because of this, one of you caused me to almost be burned, and the other caused me to lose my manly face in front of everyone." The two brothers fell into the memories and were very emotional.

Having said so much, Zhao Haiying finally got into the topic. He looked at Qian Chunsheng and said very seriously: "Chunsheng, you are the most important brother in my life, I don't want to affect the relationship between us because of something." ”

Qian Chunsheng patted Zhao Haiying on the shoulder and said guiltily: "No, it's all my problem, I don't blame you." After that day, Qian Chunsheng also thought about these problems carefully, he couldn't blame Zhao Haiying for not having money, Zhao Haiying had tried his best to help himself as a friend, but he really encountered a big problem recently, a big problem that had to be solved with money. But when the words came to his lips, he still didn't say them.

Mr. Qian's office is overcrowded, and it has almost become the norm in recent days. Early every morning, the foreman of the contract came to Qian Chunsheng's office with four or five migrant workers to ask for money, and the foreman said angrily: "Our company's project to renovate Pidgin Old Street is more than half, and some projects are about to be completed, and you still don't pay us wages!" Everyone is waiting to get the money and go home for the New Year! ”

Qian Chunsheng was serving tea and water, he knew that he was at a loss, and he understood these migrant workers, but he was also very helpless, but he would not owe the wages of the workers if there was any way. He looked at everyone and said apologetically: "The loan procedures of Party A have not been perfected, there is a gap in funds, I have waited for so long and have not received the final payment of the project, where can I get the wages of hundreds of workers!" ”

The migrant workers don't care so much, they are all waiting to get the money and go home for the New Year. Some migrant workers were anxious and shouted at Qian Chunsheng: "Don't talk about those useless ones!" Whether you borrow or steal, you have to pay us your salary! ”

Other migrant workers followed suit: "It's obvious that you are unreasonable and owe migrant workers wages!" Hurry up and get paid, or we won't leave! Seeing that the migrant workers were about to start, Qian Chunsheng hurriedly agreed and promised to give it tomorrow, so that the migrant workers could be appeased.

Early the next morning, before dawn, Qian Chunsheng was woken up by a knock on the door, he didn't expect the migrant workers to find the Qian family's resettlement house directly. Qian Qingqing was just about to open the door, but Qian Chunsheng was quick and stopped him.

The knock on the door also woke Sun Mingfang up, she felt that something was wrong, and asked, "Chunsheng, who is outside?" ”

Before Qian Chunsheng could answer, there was a more violent knock and a noisy noise outside the door: "Pay back!" Qian Chunsheng! You owe the wages of migrant workers, what kind of boss are you going to be! Come out of here! You said you would pay us today! You're coming out! ”

Now, Sun Mingfang and Qian Qingqing both know what's going on. The paper can't hold the fire, Qian Chunsheng didn't want Sun Mingfang to worry, but now that the matter is exposed, he has to explain honestly: "It's the final payment of the project that hasn't been approved yet, how can I get so much money to pay hundreds of people's salaries!" ”

Sun Mingfang was anxious when she heard it, and the negative news about the arrears of migrant workers' wages was broadcast on TV every day, and she hated it every time, and she had to talk about these black-hearted bosses to be happy, but she didn't expect it to be her son's turn this time. She decided to take out her savings to help Qian Chunsheng.

"Mom! Gotta 700,000! As soon as Qian Chunsheng said this number, Sun Mingfang was shocked. Qian Chunsheng explained, "The final payment of our project is 1.5 million, as long as the final payment comes down, I can pay my salary, but isn't it not down yet?" ”

Sun Mingfang sat on the chair with a butt, 700,000 yuan, she had never even seen so much money, but the knocking outside the door was still constant, Sun Mingfang estimated that the neighbors heard it, especially the four-eyed house, which was next door to her house, which made her hold her head up in front of Li Guifen in the future. Qian Qingqing was even more anxious to jump up and down, the outside was all blocked, how could she go to work. Qian Chunsheng looked at his mother and sister, suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly dialed a string of numbers from the phone.

After a while, Yang Qiao, who was full of worries, hurried over, and was startled by the scene in front of him from a distance. It turned out that the contractor mobilized the migrant workers to stop work, and all of them came to Qian Chunsheng's house to ask for money. Many neighbors opened the cat's eye on the door and hurriedly closed it, and some watched the excitement through the balcony windows.

When the foreman saw Yang Qiao, he hurriedly greeted him. It was because of Yang Qiao's recommendation that they came to Shanghai from Chongqing, and now that Yang Qiao is here, the contractor foreman rushed forward first, and Director Yang shouted one by one. Yang Qiao looked at the contractor, extremely disgusted, when he introduced him to the job before, this contractor couldn't wait to cut off his head to guarantee, saying that he would not cause trouble, and take the workers to do it, but now it is good, just a little thing, and he took the workers to the door. Isn't this embarrassing for him and embarrassing for Qian Chunsheng?

Yang Qiao did not express his opinion on the contractor, the most important thing at the moment is to let the workers disperse quickly, blocking here, in case the media is alarmed, this matter will be a big deal. He found a chair, stood up, and bitterly dissuaded: "You are blocking here, causing inconvenience to the neighbors." The arrears of wages must be the fault of the money boss, there is no doubt about it! However, you can't solve it if you are so encircled. Don't worry, you are all introduced by me, we are fellow countrymen, I will definitely find a way to solve it for you! Boss Qian is my friend, and he is definitely not a person who pays off his debts, just because he didn't get the balance of the project. But don't worry, I'll pack tickets for you, with me Yang Qiao here, I will definitely get your salary back for everyone, so that everyone can have a happy New Year! ”

Hearing what Director Yang said, the migrant workers also quieted down. In fact, their previous wages were paid in a relatively timely manner, all because they were approaching the Chinese New Year and were ready to go home, but they did not see the remaining wages for a long time. Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, I don't know what to do, and finally turned my eyes to the contractor again.

The contractor took a step forward and said to Yang Qiao with a smile: "Director Yang, everyone has difficulties, but we believe in you, you have to help us." ”

Yang Qiao patted his chest and assured everyone: "I, Yang Qiao, take a personality guarantee, and you will get your salary!" I am representing the Labor Bureau, and I am the voice of the **, and I will do it! ”

Yang Qiao is the director of the Labor Bureau, and he represents **, and the migrant workers have dispersed.

After appeasing the migrant workers, Yang Qiao was relieved, but he became worried again. Qian Chunsheng told him everything, different from the previous wine and talk, this time Yang Qiao reminded Qian Chunsheng very seriously that he could not owe any migrant workers' wages: "Their lives are not easy, almost all of the family are old and young, and they come all the way to Shanghai to work, just to earn more money to send home." And it's almost the New Year, and you can't let them go back empty-handed. ”

Yang Qiao said that Qian Chunsheng understood, but he was also very helpless, Party A has not given money, where did he get 700,000 yuan to pay wages to migrant workers.

Before leaving, Yang Qiao comforted Qian Chunsheng: "Let's talk to Party A again, this is their problem, and we must pay the salary before the Chinese New Year!" ”

Zhao Haiying received a call from Qian Qingqing, only to know that Qian Chunsheng was in trouble, and he understood why Qian Chunsheng wanted to make extra money so much recently. I don't know why, but there is a trace of comfort in his heart.

He asked a friend in the financial industry to help make a financial guarantee in the name of their company, and asked Qian Chunsheng to use this guarantee to go to the bank, and he could get a loan of at least 400,000 yuan. For the remaining 300,000, Zhao Haiying continued to help him find a way.

Qian Chunsheng didn't want to trouble Zhao Haiying in the first place, but Zhao Haiying's words made Qian Chunsheng's heart melt instantly: "We are the best brothers, you are in trouble, I must help you without hesitation." ”

Tears had soaked Qian Chunsheng's eyes, and he didn't know what to do. Zhao Haiying helped him raise a large amount of money before opening a construction company, and now he feels that he can't trouble Zhao Haiying anymore with the remaining 300,000.

When Zhao Haiying told Zhao Guoping about Qian Chunsheng, Zhao Guoping reproached Zhao Haiying: "Chunsheng is in such a big trouble, why didn't you say it earlier?" ”

Zhao Haiying also looked helpless: "I only found out today." Can you think of a way? ”

"Your dad and I still have savings, and they all lend them to Chunsheng! With the addition of loans, it should be enough. Zhou Hui, who was cooking in the kitchen, heard the news and walked over, looking like she wanted to repay her debts for Qian Chunsheng, but was rejected by Zhao Haiying: "Chunsheng doesn't want to borrow our family's money." ”

Zhao Guoping knows Qian Chunsheng, and his self-esteem is so strong, he definitely won't want it. It is said that the renovation of Yangjing Old Street was also the responsibility of the management committee, and these Party A contracted out nothing, and owed the wages of the migrant workers, which was repaid. Thinking of this, Zhao Guoping immediately decided: "I'll call the engineering department, and I must have someone coordinate well, sometimes the agency is too slow to do things!" Zhao Guoping muttered as he walked into the study.

Zhou Hui smiled and whispered to Zhao Haiying: "As soon as your father makes a move, there will be absolutely no problem!" ”

Zhou Hui was right, if Zhao Guoping made a phone call, he quickly got a reply. In the end, with the participation of the management committee, Qian Chunsheng successfully got the final payment of the project.

As soon as he got the money, Qian Chunsheng was so excited that he didn't go to the bank, and came directly to the construction site with the money. He was anxious, and he felt that only when the workers actually got the money in their hands could they be truly relieved. Now during the Chinese New Year, it takes a long time to queue at the bank, and he directly hands over the money to everyone, which not only saves time, but also reassures everyone. In addition, in order to make up for the delay in arrears of everyone's wages before, Qian Chunsheng also specially prepared a big red envelope of 200 yuan for each person. For the safety of the return journey, he also specially chartered a special train to send them back to their hometown, hoping to make up for everyone as much as possible.

The migrant workers received the news in advance that they were going to send money, and lined up early, their faces full of excitement and excitement, and waited anxiously.

A moment later, Zhao Haiying's car drove into the construction site in a hurry, and Qian Chunsheng and Zhao Haiying enthusiastically handed over stacks of money to migrant workers, and the scene was warm and spectacular. The whole process was recorded by Qian Qingqing and transmitted to the audience across the country through the TV set.

Pudong's high-rise buildings are lined up one after another, and they are gradually becoming prosperous. The Huangpu River flows slowly, encircling the whole of Shanghai, gentle and quiet. But there was one person who was not at peace. He Weiping looked at the cooperation agreement between Child and Tuopu Zhitong, and waited for the flowers, and finally waited for a sentence of "Tuopu Zhitong gave up investment".

At this time, He Weiping panicked, if Tuopu Zhitong gave up investment, then everything he had done before would be in vain. In desperation, he came to Child's apartment in Shanghai.

When Childe saw He Weiping, he didn't even say hello, and drank red wine by himself. Charde himself was also very helpless, he had already explained clearly to He Weiping on the phone: "Tuopu Zhitong is stupid, bastards, they have no vision, they are afraid that Chinese businessmen will steal the market." Too easy. It's over, it's over! ”

"The North Group has advanced the down payment to Shanghai Iron and Steel Company, and the trading center project has been officially launched, and several companies have already thrown olive branches to us, and we ...... We're on the verge of success. If Tuopu Zhitong does not participate in the investment, the Northern Iron and Steel Company will withdraw from the project, and all the investment, my net worth is in it, and everything will be wasted! You, Child, are the big boss of Wall Street, you must have a way, please go to Australia, or the United States, or the United Kingdom......" He Weiping pleaded almost with tears.

However, Child doesn't think so, the news of the project that Tuopu Zhitong suddenly abandoned must have spread all over the world, and other companies will be suspicious and will not invest. Thinking of this, Charde also felt very sad, the Chinese market is really big, for him, it is a piece of fat to his mouth, he didn't expect it to be gone so soon.

Seeing that Childe was powerless to return to the sky, He Weiping was completely desperate. Decades of family business were completely destroyed in an instant. He stumbled away in despair.

He Weiping listened to Child's final advice: "Go as far as possible, Africa, South America, or Oceania...... Anyway, the world is so big, you can go very far! ”

Zhao Haiying came to Yihe Financial Holdings with an IOU, only to find that the company only had a few employees and the office was even more empty. Sensing something was wrong, he found Ma Yi.

When Zhao Haiying hurriedly came to Ma Yi's office, Ma Yi was watching the news. The news showed the employees of Yihe Financial Holdings being questioned by the police. It turned out that since a few days ago, He Weiping has completely lost contact, and he disappeared with him, as well as millions of yuan on the company's books. Zhao Haiying and Ma Yi looked at each other and watched the news in shock.

Ma Yi's face was ugly, and he looked at Zhao Haiying with an anxious face: "It's a bad thing, it's a bad thing, our North Group has paid the down payment of 21 million to Shanghai Iron and Steel Company." Who will make up for the rest of the full amount? ”

Hearing Ma Yi say this, Zhao Haiying's heart sank and asked, "He Weiping asked the Northern Group to make the first payment?" ”

"From the beginning of the joint bidding, we have been tied together, whether it is the payment from Yihe Financial Holding or the payment from the North Group, in the contract, we are all Party A, and we are also jointly and severally liable." Ma Yi looked a little broken.

Zhao Haiying was shocked, he originally went to Yihe Financial Holding to find He Weiping to repay the IOU, but found that there was no trace of him at all. Later, Zhao Haiying found many friends, and learned that He Weiping was raising money everywhere, and several financial companies were following up on the project. Zhao Haiying felt that something was not right, and came to Ma Yi from Yihe Financial Holdings. I didn't expect to see He Weiping's news on TV as soon as I came.

"If he gives up at this time, it must be that Tuopu Zhitong has broken the contract, without foreign capital, he can't take out such a large sum of money, he can't continue the construction of the project, and he will lose all his hole cards." Ma Yi speculated.

Looking at Ma Yi, Zhao Haiying blamed himself very much: "I'm sorry, Ma Yi, I'm sorry, I hurt you, I pulled the strings between you and He Weiping, and let you fall into such a big turmoil......" Zhao Haiying didn't finish speaking, and slammed his fist on the wall very angrily.

Ma Yi was also devastated. At this time, it was meaningless to say who was right and who was wrong, he covered his forehead and sat down on the sofa and asked: "I am also very negligent in this project, and I did not grasp the progress of the cooperation between Yihe Financial Holding and Tuopu Zhitong in time. None of your business. But what now? This money will definitely not come back, and if Shanghai Iron and Steel takes the North Group to court again, I am afraid I will not be able to pass the blame......"

Zhao Haiying clenched his fists and said, "Ma Yi, I will definitely investigate this matter." Since He Weiping's matter has been reported by the media, it shows that the police have already intervened, and we must recover some losses. Seeing Ma Yi sitting on the sofa in great disappointment, Zhao Haiying felt even more guilty in his heart.

Xie Tianyang didn't expect that he would actually fall into He Weiping's hands, and he was blindsided after learning the news. Standing in front of the TV for a long time, he reacted, and he immediately dialed He Weiping's phone, but what he got was the voice play of the phone turned off.

In a rage, he pushed open the door to Child's office, where he was standing leisurely playing miniature golf. Xie Tianyang's heart sank suddenly, and he asked, "Where did He Weiping flee to?" ”

There was no response, but rather a gentle push of the ball into the hole with great interest.

At this time, Xie Tianyang felt that the situation was even more serious. When bidding for Shanghai Iron and Steel Company, he voted for He Weiping 3 million, and He Weiping's run made Xie Tianyang lose all his money.

"Don't tell me this has nothing to do with you, and you're so laid-back!" Xie Tianyang asked Childe with a questioning and even somewhat angry tone.

Child's office is on the top floor of the building, and the sunlight is very harsh. Childe walked unhurriedly to the window, gently pulled the veil through it, shielded it from the sun, and said, "I'm a victim too." A good subject that doesn't make money is the biggest failure for a good financier. ”

"A few million is a small amount to you, but I don't believe that you Child, who has been deceived, can still play golf here with all his poise! Why don't you invest, are you doing a ghost in it? ”

Xie Tianyang's questioning completely angered Child, he put away his club, glared at Xie Tianyang, and reprimanded: "You are not qualified to question me!" You have also seen with your own eyes the business cooperation letter of Tuopu Zhitong, they finally broke the contract, and we are all victims. Do you understand? ”

Seeing Child's attitude, Xie Tianyang didn't care, he was respectful to Child before, just to be able to have Child's backer. Child seems to be friendly to him, but both sides know in their hearts that they are just using each other, and Child wants to use Xie Tianyang's financial network in Shanghai to serve himself, and Xie Tianyang wants to use Child's signboard on Wall Street.

After the two calmed down for a moment, Cairde took the initiative to speak: "Do you think I will use my own money to set up a scam for myself?" You use your brains, if He Weiping didn't run away and the exchange project went bankrupt, you would have to share the liability for breach of contract, and the loss would be more than a few million? Together with your credibility in Shanghai's financial community, it's all over! I'm helping you, you have to thank me, thank He Weiping for his disappearance, the legal responsibility is his alone! ”

Xie Tianyang was very embarrassed by Child's attitude and words. This 3 million is already a lot of money for him, and if he can't fill the loophole quickly, Hans Group will have a big crisis.

Instead of speaking again, Child swung his club and pushed the ball into the hole. Xie Tianyang could see that this was Child's attitude, this hole was bottomless, and it was impossible for Child to enter it himself.

When Chen Jianhua saw Zhao Haiying in the office, he was very surprised, he knew that Zhao Haiying had nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace. He poured a glass of water for Zhao Haiying and asked, "It's the first time you've come to me, right?" Say, what's the matter? ”

Zhao Haiying said bluntly: "Uncle Chen, as far as I know, the detailed planning of the Shanghai Iron and Steel Exchange was made by your design institute, and I want to know from you about the situation of the Shanghai Iron and Steel Exchange Center." ”

Chen Jianhua also heard about some things in the Northern Group, but he didn't expect Zhao Haiying to have something to do with this matter. He found the plan and drawings of the Shanghai Iron and Steel Exchange Center that had been published at the time of the bidding and handed them to Zhao Haiying.

Zhao Haiying while watching, Chen Jianhua explained: "The planning of Shanghai Iron and Steel Trading Center focuses on the domestic market, focusing on radiating the Yangtze River Delta and Pearl River Delta regions, mainly focusing on the steel trading, information, logistics, renewable resources and other major functions of the existing comprehensive pilot area of Shanghai Iron and Steel's service industry, realizing the strong combination of leading enterprises and local enterprises, and building a leading service and trading platform in the steel industry." ”

Zhao Haiying can see that the cost of planning and design in his hand is not low, and it can be seen that he is also determined to build a steel trading center that can make a name for himself. He wondered: "Why can't such a large steel trading center be considered for the international market?" Chen Jianhua did not answer, but asked him to continue. Zhao Haiying said his thoughts: "If the scale is doubled, the standard operation system of logistics and warehousing is in line with international standards, and the healthy development of the financing environment of iron and steel industry enterprises is promoted through the combination of production and finance, and finance becomes one of the functions that pay equal attention to steel trading, information, logistics, research and development, etc., and can even form the 'Shanghai standard' of steel trading and services, and it is not impossible to face the Asian market and even the global market." ”

Zhao Haiying's proposal made Chen Jianhua suddenly pause. The previous planning and design focused more on the domestic market, while Zhao Haiying's vision was more long-term and directly invested in the international market. After hearing this, Chen Jianhua nodded frequently and sighed: "Haiying, you are really a financial expert." Your idea is very good, but now that the bidding has ended, if you want to change the plan, it should be proposed by Party A. ”

The Party A in Chen Jianhua's mouth is the North Group. Zhao Haiying said: "Actually, I just want to discuss with you today, if you think it is practical to expand the scale and change the original plan, then I want to talk to Party A." ”

Chen Jianhua assured Zhao Haiying that as long as the North Group is willing to increase investment and expand its scale, the design institute will be very happy to support and cooperate with the completion of the adjustment and modification of the new plan.

Seeing Chen Jianhua's attitude, Zhao Haiying had a bottom in his heart, and he came directly to Ma Yi's house. Ma Yi is also worried, the board of directors of the North Group has voted to abandon the Shanghai Iron and Steel Exchange project, that is, two hours later, the North Group will officially start the divestment process and economic lawsuits.

In desperation, Zhao Haiying made a bold suggestion: to participate in the board meeting of the Northern Group.

Ma Yi refused when he heard this. You must know that all the senior leaders of the North Group who attended the board meeting were not qualified to participate, not to mention Zhao Haiying. Zhao Haiying couldn't care so much, and followed Ma Yi to the conference room of the North Group, and before everyone could react, Zhao Haiying turned around and locked the door, and directly pulled out the key inserted in the door.

At this moment, the directors in the conference room panicked and exchanged ears. Zhao Haiying looked at the directors present and said bluntly: "I'm sorry, directors, I am Zhao Haiying, and the project of the Shanghai Iron and Steel Exchange was recommended by me to Mr. Ma Yi. Before you have a meeting, can you give me 20 minutes to make a presentation? ”

It's good not to open your mouth, but this opening made the directors talk louder. Several of the directors knew Zhao Haiying's name, but even if Zhao Haiying was the chairman of another company, he was not qualified to sit on the board of directors of the Northern Group.

Zhao Haiying took out the key and said in a threatening tone, "I have locked the door of the conference room. What I'm going to say is closely related to the interests of the Northern Bloc, and if you don't even give me 20 minutes, then I'll throw this key out of here, and I'm afraid I'll waste more than 20 minutes. ”

At this time, Ma Yi was also anxious, quickly stood up, and persuaded: "Haiying, you have something to say." ”

The chairman who has not spoken out is sitting in a precarious position, and he has also heard of Zhao Haiying's name. He was very curious about what Zhao Haiying wanted to do, so he said, "Okay, we are not short of these 20 minutes." Mr. Zhao Haiying, if you have anything to say, you can say it now. ”

The chairman has spoken, and the others are not good at saying anything. Seeing this, Zhao Haiying hurriedly handed over the prepared information on the latest planning of the Shanghai Iron and Steel Trading Center to the directors, and explained while posting: "In this plan, the Shanghai Iron and Steel Trading Center is no longer only for the domestic steel market, but also for the international market. In other words, it will radiate to Japan, South Korea, Southeast Asia, Europe and the United States......"

Zhao Haiying talked eloquently, and the directors listened very carefully. Finally, Zhao Haiying showed a gift to the directors present, and he unveiled a large box on the conference table, a large cake of a new steel exchange model. He asked Chen Jianhua to help draw a sketch of this cake, and made it according to the sketch: "I look forward to the future steel exchange being more beautiful and grander, and it should be Shanghai's trading center for Asia and the world's steel market." The crowd looked surprised and discussed.

Zhao Haiying looked at the chairman, then looked at the directors at the venue, and said very seriously: "Chairman, directors, the new Shanghai Iron and Steel Trading Center I just mentioned is like this big cake in front of you. North Group has obtained the rights of Party A, if it joins forces with Shanghai Iron and Steel Company to build Shanghai Iron and Steel Trading Center into a leading domestic and international B2B service platform, then this cake will be bigger and better. ”

As soon as the words fell, the directors at the venue looked at each other, and finally turned their eyes to the chairman, waiting for the chairman's opinion. I saw that the chairman picked up a small spoon and put a small piece of cake into his mouth, his expression was very satisfied, and he said meaningfully: "The taste of this cake is indeed very good, intriguing." The chairman's meaning was already clear, and for a while, the directors picked up small spoons and began to taste the cake.

The Yangjing Street renovation project is nearing completion, and Zhao Guoping and several Shanghai leaders came to inspect it, and Qian Chunsheng made an introduction.

The whole Pidgin Street has a new look, changing the appearance of the old alleys and old-fashioned street shops, and there are high-rise buildings everywhere, and the foreign shops are full of fashionable atmosphere, and they can't see what they used to look like at all.

Qian Chunsheng introduced: "This branch road is built by our construction company, and all building projects are regulated by one to one according to the planning plan given by **. This street used to be a convenient place for grocery stores, barber shops, and vegetable markets, but now it is mainly a commercial center, and there is a large department store in the middle of the street. ”

Listening to Qian Chunsheng's introduction, Zhao Guoping was very excited, this road was the place where Sun Mingfang used to open Yongchun Non-staple Food Store, but he didn't expect it to become so modern in just a few months. Zhao Guoping said with emotion: "The renovation of Pudong's old streets is almost complete, and the development of Pudong is renewed. Only when the image of the city is well established, the living conditions of the people are greatly improved, and the process of commercialization is continuously promoted, can Shanghai truly become an international financial center. ”

Being praised so bluntly by Zhao Guoping, Qian Chunsheng was a little embarrassed: "Now the whole country is advocating new urbanism, multi-functional blocks, attaching importance to the public space of the city, and at the same time attaching importance to the protection of ancient buildings." Shanghai has been very successful in exploring and planning urban planning. The practice of Pudong New Area today is the most powerful proof of creating a new fashion environment. ”

The renovation of Yangjing Street has made Qian Chunsheng's Chunsheng Construction Company famous in the industry, and it has also made many people see business opportunities, and Yang Hao is one of them.

The bankruptcy of Guanghan Company made Yang Hao disappointed in the financial world, and he felt that it was better to be his own boss than to follow others. Just as Yangjing Street was renovated and a lot of shops were built, Yang Hao used all his savings to open a Western restaurant.

Zhao Haiying was happy for Yang Hao from the bottom of his heart. "I'll give you a discount! Or do you bring a table and I'll give you a 10% rebate? Yang Hao said half-jokingly and half-seriously.

"Or do I take a stake and pay dividends quarterly, and I don't participate in technology, but only financing?" Zhao Haiying even joked about his profession. Qian Chunsheng on the side also joked: "You guys are too good at doing business in finance, and you don't let others live?" ”

Yang Hao smiled happily: "You eat slowly, I'll get busy first!" ”

"Good!"

Waiting for Yang Hao to leave, Qian Chunsheng said very excitedly: "Haiying, I have taken on another big project, which is the construction of the commercial street of Fuhua Real Estate, and that street is at the new site of your Shanghai Stock Exchange." I heard that the new site of the Shanghai Stock Exchange will officially open in August this year, and that commercial street must be very prosperous by then......"

"Congratulations, Chunsheng." Seeing that Qian Chunsheng was thriving, Zhao Haiying was sincerely happy for him.

And Xie Tianyang has not been as lucky as Qian Chunsheng recently.

Xie Tianyang's Hans Group was on the verge of bankruptcy because it invested 3 million yuan in Yihe Financial Holdings. He lost some money in the international futures market and was anxious to get it back, so he took advantage of the opportunity to participate in Yihe Financial Holdings and absorbed a few funds at high interest. Faced with the huge amount of money owed by his son, Xie Dong, as a father, hesitated, and he violated his principles and leaked insider information about securities to Xie Tianyang.

The news that Xie Tianyang frantically bought a stock spread in the industry, and also attracted the attention of the Shanghai Securities Regulatory Commission, and finally Xie Tianyang and Xie Dong were sentenced to prison.

After Zhao Haiying learned the news, he went to the prison to visit him many times, but was rejected by Xie Tianyang. Zhao Haiying suddenly felt physically and mentally exhausted, Guanghan Group went bankrupt, he pushed Ma Yi into the abyss in order to let He Weiping repay his debts, and fell into a scam, causing Ma Yi to be removed by the board of directors, Xu Shanshan's debts will not be returned, and even Xie Dong, a senior of the Shanghai Stock Exchange and an elder he once respected very much, was arrested by the Securities Regulatory Commission...... Everything flashed through his mind, and he suddenly felt that all of this was inseparable from him, and even felt that he was the one who made it too messy.

Thinking of Xie Tianyang behind bars, Zhao Haiying had an indescribable feeling in his heart. He remembered everything that had happened in the past few years, from a small security guard in Jing'an, to a rise in the financial circle and a great reputation, to the bankruptcy of the company overnight, the loss of friends and the most respected elders, and to today, maybe he has too many problems that he is not even aware of, and he has been framed again and again, affecting his friends. He wants to start all over again, and this time, he will not insist on going his own way again, but will take every step clearly and clearly......
