Chapter 327 Take a step back
When Chen Zongyu heard that the other party was offering two million taels of silver and a five-year entrustment of credit, his eyes flashed with golden light, but he quickly came back to his senses and said with a wry smile:
"Mr. General Agent, it's not that I don't want to get the Global Fund's five-year trust, but I have my own difficulties and credit bottom line. I can't just get rid of Chen Tianhua for no reason. What's the difference between this and forcing the uterus?"
As soon as these words came out, Lao Kangming's face suddenly became so cold that he could squeeze out water.
Fengzhong Bank has always been the main trust customer of Global Fund, mainly because Chen Zongyu is good at doing things, is very trustworthy, and has a high level of management business, and enjoys a high reputation at home and abroad.
The profit temptation in the investment, holding and transfer of mineral resources in the Qing Dynasty has been favored by many foreign fund companies.
Now, everyone has a lot of concerns about Chen Tianhua's motivation and control over the mineral investment. If the operation is not careful, it will affect Fengzhong Bank's investment direction and profits in the past few years, and even collapse.
These people will definitely not agree.
"If President Chen is not willing, then we Global will choose other projects to cooperate with." Lao Kangming said very unhappy: "I will give you three days to consider it."
After finishing speaking, Lao Kangming stood up and left the conference room. With his secretary, bodyguards and other entourage waiting outside the door, he angrily left the Fengzhong Bank headquarters building.
Several other participants also left the meeting, and in the end, only a dejected Chen Zongyu was left in the conference room.
He thought for a long time and finally decided to make an appointment with Li Cunzhi. If it was difficult to talk to Chen Tianhua, he could have a showdown with the new warlord.
…
Chen Tianhua suddenly saw the special post officer of his father-in-law Li Cunzhi, who handed him a secret letter from General Zhentong.
He thought something had happened in the capital city of Hangzhou, so he opened the letter nervously, and there was a line on it, "I'll go back to Hangzhou as soon as I see the letter and discuss important matters." The signature was undoubtedly Li Cunzhi.
The above did not explain the reason, but simply told him to return to Hangzhou immediately.
This was the first time that his father-in-law had urged his return in this way. Of course, Chen Tianhua could not neglect it. He immediately arranged the affairs, hurriedly rode to the Yangtze River Canal dock, and then took a speedboat back to Hangzhou.
It was already evening when he arrived in Fucheng, Hangzhou. Chen Tianhua didn't bother to go back to his home on the small island in the middle of the lake, so he went straight to the official residence of Lord Zhentong.
Li Cunzhi was waiting for him in the Dongyuan study room.
"What? You want me to resign as the managing director and general manager of Fengzhong Bank? This...this father-in-law..."
Chen Tianhua had just stepped through the door of the study room and before he had a sip of tea, the first words Li Cunzhi said made him very shocked.
In Chen Tianhua's impression, his father-in-law was a professional soldier who always accepted the soft rather than the tough and never gave in to threats.
Why are you so timid now?
"My dear son-in-law, listen to me. Originally, I had no intention of taking care of this matter, but Chen Zongyu came to show it off in person, and the additional investment in railway construction is not a small amount. I discussed it with your uncle, and he and Shanda people also made this decision.
As long as we can successfully obtain additional investment funds, it doesn't matter if we make some concessions or even suffer some losses, besides, your main focus in the future will be on mining."
Li Cunzhi took a puff of a Cuban cigar and continued:
"In the blink of an eye, the cause of this matter is that you acted too hastily. You just decided to invest in Niutoushan Mining, and then you had to build a railway before digging, and in the middle, you carried out large-scale bandit suppression activities. These inexplicable huge expenditures naturally caused
Everyone is uneasy and this is a taboo for merchants!"
"This is also a warning to you. In the future, you can't act like a single person with no foundation. Let's take a step back and the sky will be brighter."
Li Cunzhi's sharp words touched Chen Tianhua's nerves. Maybe my father-in-law was right, if you take a step back, the world will be brighter.
Chen Tianhua was a professional agent in his previous life. He was accustomed to acting alone, with a vigorous and resolute style, and a character that hated evil. These things about him are exactly incompatible with the values of the current Qing Dynasty society.
Whether he is a general on the battlefield or a boss in a business war, the function of the role is the same: the butt commands the head.
As a general or CEO, you can only stand in the middle or behind the team to inspire or direct the team forward, instead of charging into the battle yourself.
This time, when it comes to handling major matters such as the business strategy of Niutoushan Mining, he may really have improper methods and methods, not proceeding step by step, and having too much subjective will.
"Wonderful son-in-law, the ancients said: Take a step back and the world will be brighter. Your temporary retreat today does not mean there is a problem with your thinking, but that there is a problem with your method and it needs to be improved to make progress."
After all, Li Cunzhi was fifty-four or five years old. He was well-informed and understood all the current social trends. Seeing that his son-in-law had gradually calmed down, he used his snobbish narration to teach Chen Tianhua a real-life life lesson.
.
Chen Tianhua also lit a cigar and smoked it slowly. His mood now was not as impatient as when he first entered the door, and he listened very attentively to Li Cunzhi's other details.
"Then father-in-law, what should I do next?"
"I have discussed with your uncle that you are too young to take care of too much at the same time. It may be the right thing to temporarily stop taking charge of the administrative decisions of Fengzhong Bank and concentrate on the construction and operation of Niutoushan Mining and Changniu Railway.
"
After all, it was Lao Jianghu. Such a concession would satisfy Chen Zongyu and his financial plutocrats. The result of the compromise would be conducive to the implementation of additional investment funds.
…
Due to Chen Tianhua's concession, Fengzhong Bank's internal investment in additional funds for railway construction was finally implemented.
In the Railway Construction Corporation, due to the support of the major shareholder Fengzhong Bank and the large share of the additional portion, what else do the other shareholders have to say?
If you do not agree to the additional increase, you can adjust the share ratio and transfer this additional amount to other shareholders.
Chen Tianhua absorbed this part of the investment shares in his own name.
In short, the controversy over additional investment in railway construction has subsided.
Fengzhong Bank re-appointed a CEO. According to later generations, this person was a professional manager. He was a classmate of Lao Kangming and both had Ph.D.s in foreign finance.
This means that banks need to re-examine previous investment projects and adjust or abandon the policies adopted during Chen Tianhua's administration.
Youdao is an emperor and a minister, and his prudent policies will affect Fengzhong Bank's investment income, annual profits and other economic indicators.
There are many people who hold different views on the new president, and the new policies have caused quite a shock in the bank.
Most people can only obey because the new president has the authorization and support of the board of directors.
Some radicals had no choice but to resign and seek higher employment elsewhere.
The board of directors also specifically discussed the future development direction of Fengzhong Bank and its three-year development plan.
Of course, the Eight Immortals across the sea show their magical powers, and the new president's prudent investment strategy may not be wrong. Maybe he can cater to some people better.
