Chapter 280 Signing a contract with the bank
Li Xiaogang said, "Oh, President Le, look, I'm so embarrassed to have made you wait for a long time! You also know that we just held a press conference today, and a lot of things are waiting for me to deal with, so I'm so negligent, so please forgive me!" Although Li Xiaogang said sorry, there was no way to tell the slightest bit of guilt from his face.
Thinking of how he treated others at the beginning, even if Le Guoping was unhappy, he could only keep it in his heart obediently, but he had to make a tummy look on his face and smiled: "I understand everything, I understand everything! I want to congratulate Chairman Li here, get rid of the crisis and take off again!"
Li Xiaogang waved his hand carelessly and said, "The clear one is clear, and the turbid one is turbid! Longquan Group has always been innocent. If it weren't for the evil man's malicious frame-up, how could we have suffered so many grievances and looked at other people's faces for no reason, ah? Haha..."
Li Xiaogang said something, and Le Guoping's face was so hot.
He hurriedly concealed and said, "Yes, yes! It's all the faults of the bad guys Li Haoran!"
Li Xiaogang nodded, no longer entangled in these boring problems, but pretended to be confused and said to Le Guoping: "President Le Da, you are busy with things. Today I come to our company myself, what's the point of doing? Could it be that our company owes your bank money? "
Le Guoping hurriedly smiled and said, "The Da Agricultural Consortium, which combines the five major groups in S Province, has strong economic strength. I am afraid that even our bank will be out of reach. How could you owe us money? Chairman Li, really likes to joke!"
"Then I'm surprised, what is the purpose of President Le's trip today?"
Li Xiaogang simply pretended to be confused and pretended to be fooled to the end.
Le Guoping was helpless and laughed dryly and said, "Chairman Li, why should you pretend to be confused like this? That day was mine. It was because I didn't know Mount Tai and neglected you. I also hope that you can avoid remembering villains. Don't just have the same knowledge as me!"
Li Xiaogang smiled slightly and said, "This is your fault. I have forgotten what happened that day long ago. Why do you still remember it so clearly?"
"Ah? Haha... It's good that you forgot! Well, let it dissipate with the wind!"
After a pause, Le Guoping said: "Actually, I'm here to discuss cooperation with you this time!
Although Danong Group is rich and powerful, its stalls are very big, and there will inevitably be many places to use money. Even the most financially strong company cannot owe debts. A company without a debt ratio may not be a dynamic company. So I believe Danong Group must need a tough bank as a strategic partner to seek greater development. Am I right?”
Li Xiaogang nodded and raised his hand and said, "You continue talking!"
Le Guoping continued: "I can conclude that your establishment of Danong Group will definitely not be limited to this acre of three-point land in China, right? Look, almost every of the five major groups under Danong Group has the potential and ambition to enter the international market.
This is especially true for Longquan Group and Longhua Group! Although Longxi Group seems to be still unknown at the moment.
But based on my experience of ups and downs in the business world over the years, it won’t take long to get the reputation of Longxi Group, which is probably not much worse than that of Longquan Group! Chairman Li, do you agree with my judgment?"
"Haha... No wonder China Merchants Bank promoted you to such an important position when you were so young. It was indeed insightful!" Li Xiaogang said appreciatively.
Le Guoping smiled slightly and said, "I heard that what I guessed just now seems to be true! So, can you tell me what will happen next to Longxi Group?"
Li Xiaogang looked at Le Guoping and smiled: "Although we are about to become partners, I will not tell you the trade secrets you shouldn't know! I am a very principled person! Haha..."
"So...so, you have agreed to cooperate with our bank?"
Le Guoping stood up excitedly and said excitedly.
Li Xiaogang smiled and said, "Don't be busy first, I have something to do first. If you want to cooperate with us, you have to take risks. Don't ask me about collateral at any time! As an excellent banker, adventure awareness is the most indispensable! Look, almost all the top bankers in the world are foreigners now. Do you know what foreign banks think of our Chinese banks?"
Le Guoping shook his head gently.
Li Xiaogang snorted coldly and said, "Foreign bankers believe that our Chinese banks cannot be called banks at all, but are only worthy of becoming money banks! It is just a place for others to deposit money temporarily. Chinese bankers lack the minimum investment awareness and do not know how to use the abundant funds on hand to exchange for more benefits! President Le, do you agree?"
Although Le Guoping was very angry after hearing Li Xiaogang's words, he had nothing to say! Although foreign bankers were mean, they were not without reason.
Chinese bankers are too conservative and easy to satisfy, but the difference between deposit interest and loan interest has already satisfied them. They have to turn over and over the investigation of those who are borrowing, looking like they are afraid that you can't afford it.
Seeing Le Guoping silent, Li Xiaogang slowed down and said, "However, I see hope from you again. As the times develop, the number of bankers like you who are wise, courageous, dare to take risks and are good at taking risks is increasing. When you grow into the mainstay of China CITIC Banking Industry, China CITIC Banking Industry may be completely reinvented and usher in a new era!
The reason why I can cooperate with you with ease is that I hope that the power I can use can help fuel the fire. I look forward to such a day coming sooner!"
After hearing Li Xiaogang's words, Le Guoping exhaled a deep breath and looked at Li Xiaogang with admiration and said, "Mr. Li, although you are very young, I have learned a lot from you! At the same time, it also makes me understand that it is definitely not a coincidence, nor is it a luck to have such a large foundation! Perhaps this time choosing to cooperate with you may change my life's destiny!"
Li Xiaogang laughed and said, "President Le, you were wrong! It's not possible, but certain! I promise you that you will never forget the same kind of meeting we meet today!
Thirty years later, if you look back and see our meeting, you will know that every word I say is not false!”
Looking at Li Xiaogang's shining eyes, Le Guoping felt dizzy, and a strange wave caused in his heart for no reason, making him feel that his blood seemed to be lit.
"Okay! President Le, our first cooperation, how much do you Huaxia Bank plan to lend us?"
Li Xiaogang said with a smile.
Le Guoping also laughed and said, "No matter how much, as long as we China Merchants Bank can bear it, you can just speak!" "Okay! It's refreshing! Since that's the case, then as we agreed in advance, we'll borrow 2 billion first.
By the way, did you bring your peace agreement?”
Li Xiaogang said with satisfaction.
"Bring it!" Le Guoping hurriedly took out a double copy of the contract from his briefcase and handed it to Li Xiaogang, saying, "Look first, Ruyi has terms that are inappropriate. You can bring it up as much as possible, we are discussing it!"
Li Xiaogang browsed roughly and said happily: "Nothing is left! As long as you are here, we will feel at ease with everything! This is just a start. With the growth of the Dameng Consortium, the Dameng Consortium will surely enter the international market! Facing those financial giants in the international market, there will be too many places we need your bank support at that time. At that time, I hope our cooperation will be as pleasant as ever!"
Le Guoping smiled generously and said, "That's natural! It's also time for foreign bankers to see that Chinese bankers are not vegetarians! One day, I will run China Banking Branch to Wall Street!"
Li Xiaogang nodded in admiration and said, "Okay! I am ambitious! At that time, with our China's own bank as a backing for our companies, I believe that in the national market, we will not lose to those Western powers! Economic globalization must have a place for our China! Let us join hands and work together for the near future!"
After saying that, Li Xiaogang lowered his head and wrote down his name on the contract! Feeling from Li Xiaogang's heroic spirit, Le Guoping was excited in his heart. He imitated Li Xiaogang's appearance, signed his name casually, and concluded an alliance with Li Xiaogang.
After seeing Le Guoping off, everything was almost done. Li Xiaogang breathed a deep breath, threw himself into the sand, closed his eyes and calmed down.
Long Ling'er did not disturb him, but just silently dealt with trivial official duties. Such a scene seemed so harmonious and dull.
Before he knew it, Li Xiaogang fell asleep.
When he woke up, it was already the lights on his face. He sat up and a blanket on his body slid down silently.
Li Xiaogang looked up and saw a petite figure sleeping sweetly on the desk not far from him.
A gentle smile appeared on Li Xiaogang's face. He gently lifted the blanket, walked to Long Ling'er to cover her, and said in his heart: "Ling'er, you've been exhausted these days, so take a good night's sleep!"
After saying that, he turned around and left the office quietly. After that, he still gently brought the door with him.
"I feel like you've fallen in love with Ling'er, right?"
As soon as Li Xiao closed the door, Li Li appeared beside him like a spirit cat, and said with some sorrow and envy.
Li Xiaogang was stunned by her question and smiled bitterly: "What are you talking about? It's getting late, so you should be tired too. Go and have a rest quickly, right?"
Li Li looked at Li Xiaogang's eyes persistently and said, "Don't want to change the topic, answer my questions honestly!"
Li Xiaogang said helplessly: "I don't know what you are saying, how could I..."
"What will happen? Why don't you stop talking? Is it true that you have no way to deceive yourself?" Li Li said aggressively, which made Li Xiaogang feel a little busy and at a loss for a moment.
"I...I don't!" Li Xiaogang defended himself stubbornly.
