Chapter 302 New Institutions Listed
Another reason why Schneider is relatively relaxed about the loan problem is that after the establishment of "Qiong Lianfa", the shareholders of Daming must inject capital into the bank as a deposit. According to Schneider's estimate, this money is close to 100,000 taels, and it will not be withdrawn lightly after it is deposited, so the bank will carry out small-scale lending to other units within the group in the near future, and there will not be too much pressure on cash flow.
As for the policy scale, as Tao Donglai said, professional decision-making should be handed over to professionals to do, as long as Schneider thinks that this measure is appropriate, then the executive committee will also support and approve his decision, of course, if it really causes the loss of the group, then Schneider, the person who handles it, will indeed have the possibility of being blamed for this.
However, as a veteran financial fraudster, Schneider has never been a timid person who does not dare to take the blame, and he has been responsible for managing the tens of millions of funds of the entire crossing group long before the crossing, and the entire financial system will also be built by him in the future.
Of course, this kind of business can only be handled by officially opened banks under the rule of the crossing group, and other external forces are absolutely not allowed to interfere in the financial industry. In this regard, even if there are no mandatory measures, the financial sector of the crossing group already has a great advantageIn the area managed by the crossing group, the only currency that can be used normally is the Haihan circulation bills, and real money and silver will only be used when the official trades with the outside world, so it is basically impossible for outsiders to engage in financial business on the Haihan territory. As for whether there will be people in the future who will engage in usury and other businesses with negotiable coupons, it will depend on the law enforcement efforts of the relevant departments.
Tao Donglai said: "After handling the loan, you can prepare for the handover of work." β
He Xi put down the teacup that had just been raised to his lips when he heard this, and said in amazement: "Is this to transfer Mr. Shi back to the base camp?"
Tao Donglai nodded and said: "Calculating the time, Mr. Shi has been in Guangzhou to preside over the work for more than half a year, and now the business of the Guangzhou Office has basically started on the road, and Mr. Shi's task is basically completed." Besides, our financial system is still in the initial stage, and there are many specific affairs that must be presided over by President Shi. β
After Schneider was transferred to the Guangzhou Office, many financial construction work was temporarily put on hold, and now with the increasing scale of the Group's operation, there are some more professional projects that must be presided over by competent professionals to carry out the work. Although the shelves of banks and monetary control institutions have been initially set up, the operation of the entire financial system does not only rely on one or two units, but also requires a whole set of laws, regulations, and policy rules and regulations to cooperate with them.
He Xi sighed and said, "It's a pity, it's rare to meet a partner like Mr. Shi!"
Schneider smiled: "Why don't you also submit an application to the Executive Committee and transfer back to Victory Harbor?"
He Xi shook his head again and again and said: "Then how can I do it? I will become an idler when I go back, or this place in Guangzhou is more suitable for me to play to my strengths." β
After the three of them laughed for a while, He Xi asked again: "After Mr. Shi leaves, who will be responsible for the leadership of the Guangzhou Office? Who will be responsible for the banking affairs? Mr. Tao, don't expect to throw the pot at me, I have never been the material for administrative work." β
"You can be your 007, and the Executive Committee doesn't expect you to carry this burden. Tao Donglai replied with a smile.
In fact, in the near future, the Executive Committee will have some relatively large personnel adjustments and changes in various overseas offices, for example, Gu Kai and Schneider, who are currently stationed abroad among the Executive Committee, will be transferred back to Shengli Port due to work needs, and overseas institutions such as the Guangzhou Office will also adjust their staffing due to the continuous increase in their functions. (Baidu search update is the fastest and most stable)
"Mr. Tao, what kind of adjustment method does this personnel want, you can give me a spoiler first, so that I can have a mental preparation. He Xi was unwilling to give up, and looked like he was going to break the casserole and ask to the end.
Tao Donglai sighed and said: "Okay, in terms of banking affairs, the Executive Committee is ready to transfer Cai Jinmei to Guangzhou to preside over the work, and this candidate arrangement is also recommended by President Shi." β
He Xi nodded: "The person recommended by Mr. Shi must be competent." However, I heard that this woman is not very good-tempered and has a bit of a poisonous tongue. β
"She's just a strong outsider, she doesn't seem to be easy to get along with, but she's actually quite good......" Schneider said as he saw the two people next to him staring at him with strange eyes, and quickly argued: "Don't think about it, I don't have any other ideas, and the reason why I recommend her is purely because I like her business ability." In the future, with the establishment of 'Qiong Lianfa', the business of the Development Bank will also increase, and there must be professionals here to preside over the financial work. Cai Jinmei worked in a bank before she crossed, and she was a middle-level manager, and she was a professional Cheng dΓΉ, but in fact, she was more qualified for this position than me. β
"Of course, of course. He Xi smiled and nodded: "If you really have any ideas, you will let her continue to stay in Shengli Port, instead of recommending her to Guangzhou to take over before she leaves office and returns to Shengli Port, right?"
Schneider cried and laughed: "You are really a spy, you have so many strange thoughts in your head, you think everyone is as insidious as you?"
Tao Donglai interrupted their dispute with a dry cough: "In terms of private life, the executive committee will not interfere too much, as long as it does not affect the work...... As for the administrative side, the Executive Committee is currently considering a successor to Marico. β
The smile on He Xi's face became slightly stiff: "Yo, my old partner! That saves the time of running-in......"
When the Executive Committee was preparing for the establishment of the Guangzhou Office, only Schneider and He Xi were transferred. Needless to say, Schneider is a member of the executive committee, and it has obvious political significance to sit in Guangzhou to preside over the work, plus he is the head of finance and trade across the group, from the perspective of professional counterparts, the executive committee's arrangements for him are also impeccable. However, the Executive Committee selected He Xi as one of the leaders of the Guangzhou Office among the first batch of expatriate cadres, which made his colleagues in Yazhou more or less jealous.
Before He Xi left office, he could already clearly feel this kind of sentiment of other people, especially Ma Li Ke and Qiu Yuan, who wanted to take the road of politics, should be quite disappointed with the arrangement of the executive committee. He Xi didn't expect that after half a year, he would have to partner with Marik again.
Tao Donglai explained: "Marik has done a good job in Yazhou for most of the year, whether it is presiding over the work of overseas agencies or living in the Daming control area, he has adapted better. And he worked in the investment promotion office before he crossed, and he is also a professional. After the establishment of 'Qiong Lianfa', there will be a lot of investment work to be done, and the decision to transfer him is also out of professional considerations. The last reason is that the Executive Committee takes into account that you have worked together for a while, and with your help, he will be able to get started with various tasks a little faster. β
He Xi smiled and said: "Mr. Tao, don't worry, we have been together for a few months, and there is still a tacit understanding at work." β
Tao Donglai is such a shrewd person, as soon as he heard He Xi's statement, he could feel that the personal relationship between these two people was not very good, and those who had worked together day and night for a few months, if they only established a working relationship, then there must be something between them.
However, Tao Donglai will not break this kind of thing, through such a large group as the group, it is impossible for everyone to treat each other as relatives, and the relationship between the members must be close and alienated. However, as long as it does not affect the work and does not cause damage to the interests of the group, as a leader, he will not interfere too much and intervene in the personal relationship between members.
Tao Donglai continued: "Your side will prepare the relevant handover procedures first, and at the latest by the middle of this month, they will be arranged to come over and take over the work here." β
The first anniversary of the crossing at the beginning of next month will be the beginning of next month, when in addition to the celebrations, there will be a large number of institutional changes and new policies to be implemented, and Schneider will have to complete the handover of the work of the Guangzhou Office before then, and return to Shengli Port to participate in a series of important matters of the Executive Committee.
In the evening of the same day, the invited "Fu Ruifeng" Li family father and son came to the Guangzhou Office to discuss with Tao Donglai the next cooperation between the two sides in person, which was also the first face-to-face contact between the actual rulers of the two sides.
The main content of the talks was how to balance the interests of both sides in the way of cooperation in the coming period. Although the trade agreement reached between "Furuifeng" and the crossing group in the early stage made the Li family make a lot of money, this situation of standing alone in the Guangzhou shopping mall did not last long, and it was far less than the expectation of "Furuifeng" when the agreement was signed. Especially after the opening of Shengli Port to attract investment, "Fu Ruifeng" gradually lost the competitive advantage of exclusive sources of goods, and more and more mainland businessmen obtained the opportunity to purchase goods from Shengli Port, which greatly affected the profit level of "Fu Ruifeng".
And because of the back door that the crossing group consciously set aside in the trade agreement, so that "Fu Ruifeng" was exploited and could not turn around, the Li family still had some resentment in their hearts. However, they entered the market early, at least they can exclusively enjoy the treatment of a "most favored trade object", so that they will not be squeezed out by other competitors in the market with cost advantages.
However, the recently lucrative arms monopoly business has also been affected, and Xu Xinsu, the original terminal sales object, has now skipped the "Fu Ruifeng" and went directly to Shengli Port to find Haihan people to ship. And Xu Xinsu's official identity and strong strength make "Fu Ruifeng" not even have the possibility of picking a thorn, so he can only sit back and watch this part of the profits quickly lose away. According to their own estimates, the impact on the arms business alone will cause "Fu Ruifeng" to lose at least 20,000 taels of silver in the next year, which makes the Li family father and son deeply feel the need to develop new business.
For the various emerging industries advocated by Schneider, the Li family and his son are indeed interested in participating in them. However, due to the fact that they had suffered a bad loss in the previous trade agreement, and the Li family and his son were also very wary of the various terms of the new cooperation method, the negotiation process has been relatively slow. After all, compared with Wang Qin, a foreign merchant who was fooled into the water by waves, "Fu Ruifeng" has dealt with the crossing group much more times, and knows more about the methods of the Haihan people.
This time, Tao Donglai personally came forward to show the attitude of the Executive Committee to "Fu Ruifeng", first of all, the importance and sincerity of cooperation with the partner of "Fu Ruifeng", and secondly, to explain to them the bottom line of the Executive Committee in the way of cooperation, and to eliminate some unrealistic illusions of the Li family father and son, such as Li Jifeng's proposal of "Qiong Lianfa" by the shareholders of the two families taking turns to sit in the bank.
The bottom line of the executive committee's operation of "Qiong Lianfa" is that Haihan is absolutely controlled, and Li Jifeng's plan to take turns to sit in the bank is definitely unlikely to be approved by the executive committee. However, as a reassurance measure for its largest trading partner, the Executive Committee proposed to reduce land use fees and increase the supply of in-demand commodities, and said that it could exempt "Furuifeng" from paying a credit deposit of 10,000 taels to join "Qionglianfa".
In the end, after Tao Donglai increased the conditions to the monthly settlement of goods before payment, Li Jifeng finally relented and expressed his approval of Haihan's planning and arrangement for "Qiong Lianfa". Li Jifeng did not express too many objections to the issue of the armed escort organization, which had already been discussed by the two sides, because the preparatory work for this organization had already entered the final stage, and the official legal procedures had been obtained last month, and the staffing had already been in place, and it was waiting to open for business.
If there is any disagreement in this process, it is probably just the name of the institution. "Fu Ruifeng" proposed what Xinglong, Changlong, Wantong, Zhongyi, Guangsheng, all were rejected by Schneider and He Xi on the grounds that they were not grand enough, the image was not clear enough, and the final name adopted was still the "Golden Shield Security" selected by the base camp Tong GuΓ² online voting, it is worth mentioning that the second and third places in this vote were "Dragon Gate Dart Bureau" and "SF Express".
Two days later, the inauguration ceremony of the "Golden Shield Security" and the first preparatory meeting of the "Qiong Lianfa" were held at the same time as the Guangzhou Office, which was probably the most lively day since the establishment of the Guangzhou Office. Almost all the merchants in Guangzhou who had business dealings with the Guangzhou Office and "Fu Ruifeng" were present, and even many merchants who had not received the invitation at all also sent representatives to congratulate them.
This is not that the influence of the Guangzhou Office has reached enough to influence the Guangzhou business district, but it is just a small measure used by Schneider. Half a month ago, after determining the auspicious day of the zodiac for the opening, the Guangzhou Office and "Fu Ruifeng" simultaneously sent invitations to the related households in the Guangzhou business district, and attached a message that on the opening day, the Guangzhou Office will auction 20 sets of Chongzhen Yuan limited edition carved glass stationery at the site without a reserve price, and there are also a large number of on-site lucky draws, and the prizes are all Haihan glassware shipped from Shengli Port.
As soon as this news came out, even people who had nothing to do with the Guangzhou Office would be moved to watch the excitement. In fact, this method of attracting popularity has already carried out a similar activity when the "Haihan Bookstore" opened before, and the effect can be said to be quite good. The cost is small, the effect is good, the dissemination surface and speed of the news are excellent, such a hype method will not be lost after only one use, and even Tao Donglai can't help but praise the Guangzhou Office as a model of "doing big things with little money".
Li Jifeng's Li Jiamin Group, which had been brought to Guangzhou from his hometown two days in advance, also played a proper role on this day, if it were not for the presence of more than 200 men at the scene to maintain order, the thousands of people watching around the scene would be enough to make the opening scene a mess.
After the traditional lion dance, Schneider, as the representative of Haihan, and Li Jifeng, the owner of "Furuifeng", hung a plaque with the words "Golden Shield Security" outside the gate of the Guangzhou Office. This is also another new plaque hanging at the door of the Guangzhou Office after the "Haihan Office in Guangzhou", "Haihan Commodity Exhibition and Trading Center", "Haihan Bookstore Operation Office", "Haihan Shantang Operation Office" and "Haihan Development Bank Guangzhou Branch".
However, unlike several other units, the "Golden Shield Security" organization only temporarily placed its office in the Guangzhou Office for the purpose of business promotion. After the expansion of the Guangzhou Office, the office of the "Golden Shield Security" will be separated, and a small number of armed personnel will be stationed in the name of a bodyguard team for a long time.
In the official registration information of "Golden Shield Security", the boss is not Li Jifeng, but his third son Li Nai, who has always been very close to the Haihan people. After Li Nai returned to Guangzhou from Shengli Port, he spent more time in the Guangzhou Office every month than at home, and even sometimes rested in the Guangzhou Office at night.
Yu Yao and Xiao Liang, two military representatives stationed in the Guangzhou Office, concurrently served as instructors of the "Golden Shield Security." Prior to this, they had already been training the Li Jiamin Regiment in basic military discipline and combat skills, and they deserved this position. However, since the two of them are still shouldering the task of guarding the security of the Guangzhou Office, they cannot be expected to participate in the armed escort mission in different places after the opening of the "Golden Shield Security". However, He Xi's authority is greater, and he can follow his own work arrangements and place some personnel in the escort team of the "Golden Shield Security" to engage in intelligence gathering in other areas other than Guangzhou
