On the evening after the snow on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, Bai Yuanwei, chairman and president of Weiye International Group, was in a good mood.

Standing in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling window of the presidential suite on the top floor of the Provincial International Hotel, looking at the scenery of the provincial city covered with snow, Bai Yuanwei sighed to Lin Xiaoya, the young and beautiful female director of the office next to him: "Look, what a beautiful scenery of the Snow City, the southern city has not seen such a good snow scene for many years!" Covered in silver, white, a heavy snow makes the world so pure, so beautiful, so nostalgic! ”

Lin Xiaoya glanced at Bai Yuanwei and smiled, "Mr. Bai, you seem to be in a good mood today!" ”

Bai Yuanwei turned around from the window, "Yes, yes, Xiaoya, don't you feel relaxed?" ”

Lin Xiaoya hesitated for a moment, the smile on the corner of her mouth disappeared, and a rather aesthetic melancholy appeared in her vivid big eyes, which seemed so touching for a while, "To be honest, I really can't find this feeling!" ”

Bai Yuanwei smiled and asked, "Why?" If it weren't for Mayor Fang, I would have really wanted to go down and step on the snow! ”

Lin Xiaoya sighed, "Mr. Bai, don't you think this kind of purity and beauty under the snow is hypocritical?" The world is still that world, as soon as the sun comes out, the ice and snow will dissolve, and blood, tears and sins will be exposed to the sun! ”

That's a terrible sight! Bai Yuanwei's face sank, and he looked at Lin Xiaoya fixedly, "Xiaoya, what's wrong with you?" ”

Lin Xiaoya shook her head and said: "No, when you sighed a lot, I suddenly remembered the laid-off worker who committed suicide by jumping off the building yesterday of Sunward Group!" According to the people in Wenshan, this laid-off worker was only 42 years old, and he jumped from the sixth floor because he drank a bottle of inferior wine worth four or five yuan, quarreled with his wife! ”

Bai Yuanwei really didn't know about this, "Oh, there is such a thing? Wasn't it the third day of the Lunar New Year yesterday? Just jump off the building? ”

Lin Xiaoya nodded, "So I thought, when that unemployed worker jumps down, the blood will definitely dye the snow on the ground red, and our acquisition of this enterprise has caused such a tragedy of blood and tears!" ”

Bai Yuanwei's good mood was ruined, and he had to face up to this death. Lin Xiaoya is Lin Xiaoya, and her ten-year experience of wandering in Europe and the United States has filled her mind with the ideas of democracy, human rights, and social justice. Many things that are commonplace in the eyes of him and the people of the country seem to have collapsed in her eyes. It seems that this beautiful female master still has to have a process of adapting to Weiye International and the current national conditions. After all, Lin Xiaoyahai's time to join the alliance is only three months.

So, Bai Yuanwei opened up softly, "Xiaoya, I admit that this is a tragedy, but it can't be said that it was caused by the acquisition of our group!" Without our acquisition, that Sunward Group would still have to go bankrupt! ”

Lin Xiaoya argued: "But things shouldn't be like this, there are many bankrupt companies abroad, but none of them are so cruel!" So, sometimes I wonder what the significance of China's reforms is in terms of universal values. ”

Bai Yuanwei said: "How can it be meaningless? Makes a lot of sense! After 26 years, the country has risen to become rich and strong, and the general living standards of the people have improved, which is recognized by the whole world! Of course, there are some problems, and it is inevitable. History always has to pay some price in the process of roaring forward, this or that price, this is not subject to anyone's good intentions, what can be done! He didn't want to talk any further, so he ordered, "Xiaoya, in this way, you can notify Wenshan and give some subsidies to the deceased worker's family!" ”

Lin Xiaoya nodded, and immediately asked, "So, how to grasp the subsidy standard?" ”

Bai Yuanwei said: "Thirty or fifty thousand, remember: it is a subsidy, not a compensation, and we have no obligation to compensate!" ”

Lin Xiaoya took the maximum value, "Then 50,000!" He discussed it out of place, "Mr. Bai, are we too much?" The worker jumped off the building for a bottle of inferior wine of four or five yuan, and this Spring Festival, we feasted guests in the presidential suite of the hotel, carnivaling night and night, and spent nearly 300,000 yuan in four or five days! ”

Bai Yuanwei was really unhappy, and his face pulled, "Two different things!" We need it for work, you don't want to pull it together! After a slight pause, he softened his tone and said, "Xiaoya, just by looking at my big banquet, don't you know that the ex-factory price of our steel products has risen a lot?" In the past few days, more than 20 million extra profits have come in again! ”

Lin Xiaoya ignored him and continued her train of thought, "The newspaper said that Shi Yanan, secretary of the Wenshan Municipal Party Committee, invited two orphans to celebrate the holiday together this year, I think, can we also do something for the disadvantaged?" ”

Bai Yuanwei had an idea, "Yes! Xiaoya, let's take some money out, two million, and start a poverty relief project in the Wenshan Charity Foundation, you can be specific, let Secretary Tian of the Party Committee take the lead! ”

Lin Xiaoya had a lovely smile on her face again, "Mr. Bai, that's right, as a large enterprise group, we must have a good corporate image, and we must not give the society the impression that we are rich and unkind!" ”

Bai Yuanwei laughed, "Of course, since we have fully controlled Wenshan Iron and Steel and decided to focus on Wenshan in the next few years, we must be the largest philanthropist in Wenshan and establish a corporate image!" Oh, Xiaoya, today is an opportunity, their mayor Fang Zheng is just about to come over, this philanthropist is up to you, you can announce it to Mayor Fang before I talk to Mr. Chen, and make an opening gong for the official talks! ”

Lin Xiaoya was very smart, and she heard what he meant, "Mr. Bai, are you vulgar?" Good philanthropy has been turned into a PR tool by you in the blink of an eye! What does Mayor Fang think? People already have an opinion on our great cause! ”

Bai Yuanwei thought about it: this mayor Fang Zhenggang is not the previous two mayors Tian Fengyi and Qian Huiren, and he has reservations about the two equity contracts signed by Qian Huiren on behalf of Wenshan City ** and Weiye International Group. Weiye's acquisition of Sunward Group, Founder Zhenggang believes that it has caused the loss of state-owned assets to a certain extent; Weiye's public evaluation of the equity transfer of Wenshan Iron and Steel, a large state-owned enterprise, is: this is a mistake in strategic decision-making, which does not see the upward trend of steel products, and is also contrary to the positioning of Wenshan Iron and Steel in the future. Because of this, Founder just said that Shi Yanan, on the basis of the Wenwenshan Private Industrial Park, launched the Chengnan New Industrial Zone, and pulled Wu Yaya, a famous private entrepreneur in Ningchuan, who was originally engaged in power equipment, to take the lead in four major steel projects in one fell swoop: 2.5 million tons of molten iron, 2.3 million tons of steelmaking, 2 million tons of rolled steel, 200,000 tons of cold-rolled silicon steel sheets, and also supporting a thermal power plant and a coking plant, collectively referred to as the six major projects, the total scale has greatly exceeded that of Weiye's Wenshan Iron and Steel Company.

Chen Mingli and the senior management of Weiye International, including Tian Fengyi, the secretary of the party committee of the group who was the mayor of Wenshan, were all dismissive of this, believing that this was the best in the new situation. But he doesn't see it that way. What he sees is the coexistence of risks and opportunities, and in his opinion the opportunities seem to be even greater. Moreover, some risks are not a bad thing, it is precisely because of the risks that he and Weiye International have the possibility of grabbing the beach to obtain opportunities, if there is really no risk, he and Weiye International are destined to be excluded from this new pattern of steel dominated by Fangzhenggang. Therefore, at the board meeting of the board of directors a year ago, he proposed to repurpose the two billion convertible bonds to be issued by Weiye Holdings, a listed company, and invest part of them in the project of the new industrial zone, so as to lay a pile in the new pattern of Wenshan Iron and Steel City, get a piece of the pie, and stretch out a hand. In order to reach into this hand, I have to shake hands with the young mayor of Wenshan today.

Thinking like this, Chen Mingli, the executive president of the group, walked in the door, "Yuan Wei, Mayor Fang hasn't arrived yet?" ”

Bai Yuanwei looked at the Rolex watch on his wrist, "It's only five o'clock, Fang Zheng just said that he will come over later!" ”

Chen Mingli sat down on the sofa, "If I knew this, I wouldn't be in a hurry to come over!" He glanced at Lin Xiaoya and asked, "Director Lin, have you arranged the banquet for the evening?" This is an important event for the Group! ”

Lin Xiaoya became restrained, and her position was correct, she didn't dare to be as presumptuous as just now, she smiled, and said to Chen Mingli respectfully: "Mr. Chen, I have already arranged it, and I am reporting to Mr. Bai!" It was arranged according to the standard of the president of the Harvic Group last night, and the wine for the banquet was Louis XIII! "After that, I said goodbye, "Mr. Chen, Mr. Bai, let's talk, I'll go to the catering department to have a look, and ask their manager to check again!" ”

Bai Yuanwei didn't stay any longer, "Director Lin, keep in touch with Mayor Fang, and pick me up in the lobby later!" ”

Lin Xiaoya nodded in response, walked a few steps to the door, remembered something, turned around and said, "Oh, Mr. Bai, Mr. Chen, Song Chaoti, the executive vice mayor of Yinshan, has a call, and I want to have a meal with you two tomorrow!" ”

Chen Mingli glanced at Bai Yuanwei, "Yuanwei, over there in Yinshan, are we also stepping in?" ”

Bai Yuanwei shook his head, "Yinshan is not Wenshan, engaging in steel is purely following the trend, I'm not too optimistic!" ”

Lin Xiaoya reacted sensitively, "Mr. Bai, then I will refuse Mayor Song, and say that you have arrangements in the past few days!" ”

Bai Yuanwei thought about it, but said: "No, tell Mayor Song, I'll invite him, and the time will be another appointment!" ”

Lin Xiaoya nodded in response and went out. Bai Yuanwei looked at her beautiful back, and his gaze stayed for a moment.

Chen Mingli sensitively noticed that his eyes were not quite right, "Hey, hey, Yuan Wei, what are you looking at?" ”

Bai Yuanwei came to his senses and returned to the topic of work, "Oh, Mingli, I'm thinking, Yinshan can become a card in our hands, used to fight Wenshan, so Mayor Song still has to see it!" ”

Chen Mingli said: "Yes, it's good to see each other!" Let's talk about Wenshan first, Yuan Wei, what do you think Mayor Fang Zhenggang's attitude is towards our participation in the steelmaking meeting? He promised to come over, shouldn't he want to rip off the old accounts of the Shanhe Group? ”

Bai Yuanwei snorted, "What else do you have to talk about in Shanhe Group, it's already over!" When I talked to Shi Yanantong on the phone, I said implicitly that I hope to participate in the construction of the new industrial zone with the advantages of our group! Shi Yanan has a very good attitude, if we want to talk to Fang Zhenggang today, I feel that they also need our intervention! ”

Chen Mingli was a little suspicious again, "So, Yuan Wei, did they feel some kind of crisis?" ”

Bai Yuanwei thought for a moment, "I think they have always had a crisis, including that Wu Yaya!" Wu Asia's Asian Steel Federation, we still don't know? How much strength does it have? It's still a bank to engage in so many steel companies! ”

Chen Mingli said: "Yuan Wei, since you also know that there is a crisis, why do you have to stretch out this hand? ”

Bai Yuanwei said: "Whether it's a crisis or a risk, in the final analysis, it's Wenshan's!" Mingli, there is a fact that you have to see clearly, this steel-making movement is led by Wenshan**, and Wu Yaya is just a chess piece! ”

Chen Mingli sighed: "But this chess piece has made a lot of money this time, everything is handled by **!" ”

Bai Yuanwei said: "Yes, how can we ever encounter such a good opportunity? How much of Wu Yaya's own funds do you have? It is estimated that it will not exceed one billion, but more than 16 billion transactions have been initiated, and it will take a few months for major banks in the province to issue so many loans! If we knew this, we should have done this chess piece! It's a pity that we underestimate them! Now that it's impossible to take all winners, we have to think of a hand to push open a door in the future! ”

Chen Mingli joked: "Then you're not afraid that when people close their doors in the future, you will be squeezed out of your hand?" ”

Bai Yuanwei laughed, "The biggest loss I'm prepared to pay is just a finger!" I think about it, from the upcoming issuance of 2 billion convertible bonds to take out 350 million, at most no more than 500 million, the rest of the funds will be handled according to the model of the Asian Iron and Steel Federation, under the leadership of Wenshan, to the province and even the country's banks to make credit loans! ”

Chen Mingli said: "This idea is good! But he was a little worried, "Will the convertible bonds be issued after the holiday?" ”

Bai Yuanwei said: "Why can't you send it?" I know that Mr. Tang's Haitian Fund may be going to make some trouble! ”

Chen Mingli said: "Yuan Wei, Mr. Tang of Haitian Fund has not been idle during the Spring Festival, and has been contacting our opponents, and wants to deny the convertible bond issuance plan at the shareholders' meeting after the holiday!" Hey, Mr. Tang seems to be entertaining at this hotel today! When I was going upstairs just now, I ran into him at the elevator door and said hello to him! ”

Bai Yuanwei suddenly became alert, "Oh? Is there any important person around this old fox? ”

Chen Mingli shook her head, "It doesn't seem to be, just those familiar little guys, maybe it's their own party!" ”

At this moment, Lin Xiaoya hurriedly came in, and hesitantly reported: "Mr. Bai, Mr. Chen, the situation is not right, Mayor Fang Zhenggang was somehow invited by Professor Tang of the Haitian Foundation, and he is in the Fugui Hall on the second floor!" ”

Bai Yuanwei was stunned and shouted at Chen Mingli, "You still said that there are no important people, look, people have invited the mayor of Wenshan over!" I said why did Fang Zhenggang come over later, it turned out that he was on this old fox's thief ship! ”
