Mr. Cao of Jiangbei City Credit Union is an elegant middle-aged man. His biggest hobby is golf. Even in this severe cold weather, his interest does not diminish. He made a beautiful hit and watched the ball flying in the cross wind.
After changing the arc, I couldn't help but laugh and said: "God won't help me."
Chen Runing saw that the other party did not talk to each other and stopped mentioning the loan. He smiled and said: "Why don't we go to the indoor court to compete."
Mr. Cao waved his hand: "It doesn't matter, this kind of sport is only interesting if you have to go outdoors."
The two played for a while, then returned to the club in an electric golf cart and ordered two cups of hot coffee. Mr. Cao said casually: "Mr. Chen, I heard that spot silver in London has fallen sharply recently."
Chen Runing smiled reservedly: "I threw it away when it was $45. We Chinese people don't always suffer in a battle of wits and courage with the big guys on Wall Street."
Mr. Cao nodded, thoughtfully.
Chen Runing said again: "By the way, Mr. Cao, I have prepared a small gift." Then he pushed a bunch of keys over.
Mr. Cao didn't dare to answer and asked suspiciously: "Is this what it is?"
"The welfare housing for outstanding talents is a new initiative jointly launched by Xuanwu Real Estate and the Jiangbei government to recruit talents and attract investment. Mr. Cao, as a returned doctor and a financial talent, is naturally included in this list, but it is not a property right.
, it is the right to use the house for thirty years. I originally wanted to tell you this good news later, but I really can’t wait, haha."
After saying this, Mr. Cao felt relieved, took the key and shook it: "Mr. Chen, you are so polite. By the way, if you have time next week, let's play ball together?"
"No problem." Chen Runing said boldly.
The two did not have lunch together. After attending the provincial financial system meeting, Mr. Cao drove back to Jiangbei City. When passing by Jingshifang Community in the east of the city, he called to the driver: "Let's go there for a walk."
The BMW drove into the recently completed affordable housing community, and after a few rounds, it arrived at the welfare housing community for outstanding talents near the river. Mr. Cao's eyes that had been lowered suddenly opened, and there were unique North American style villas.
Standing on the edge of the beautiful Huai River, with first-class roads and greening, it is no exaggeration to call it the most high-end villa area in Jiangbei.
"Stop on the side of the road." Mr. Cao said.
The car stopped. Mr. Cao looked at Villa No. 16 not far away. He thought about it for a long time, almost sweating with the keys in his hands. After all, he still didn't go there and asked the driver to leave.
This is currently a key node in Mr. Cao’s career. Many credit unions in Jiangdong Province will reorganize their assets to form a new Jiangdong Bank. Mr. Cao is expected to serve as president, but until the top management makes a final decision, all changes are possible. Xuanwu Group
Chen Runing's background is very strong, and relying on this big tree will definitely be very beneficial to him, but when it comes to loans involving hundreds of millions of dollars, Mr. Cao does not dare to slack off. If something goes wrong, he will be the unlucky one.
Back in the office, he first called the director of the credit department: "We need to carefully consider the Xuanwu Group loan."
Then he called several friends in the financial world to inquire about the recent movements of the Xuanwu Group. The news he received was normal and nothing particularly unexpected happened.
Mr. Cao fell into deep thought, unable to decide where to go.
Suddenly, the phone rang. It was an MMS message from my precious daughter. In the background was a luxury sports car with a very trendy style. My daughter was staring and bulging her mouth in an unconventional manner.
Mr. Cao smiled. Whenever he was depressed, he would feel relaxed and happy when he saw his quirky daughter.
I clicked on my BlackBerry and received a message back: My dear, please keep warm.
My daughter quickly replied: Dad, have you seen the Bugatti Veyron?
Mr. Cao was surprised. It seems that the Bugatti Veyron, a super-luxury sports car worth 25 million yuan, does not exist in Jiangdong Province yet.
Then my daughter sent it again: Brother Xuanwu bought it newly, how cool is it?
Mr. Cao suddenly felt that a stone had fallen in his heart. He grabbed the phone on the table and dialed Chen Runing's cell phone after a while: "Mr. Chen, we have something to look forward to regarding the loan. I have prepared... 100 million in funds for you."
, let’s come over tomorrow to talk, and treat you to a meal by the way.”
The background sound of the phone was very noisy, and Chen Runing's voice was a little blurry, as if coming from another world: "Oh, I'm sorry, Mr. Cao, I'm very busy tomorrow, let the financial staff come over to talk."
"Okay, no problem, that's it, goodbye." Although he was rejected, Mr. Cao felt more at ease.
The next day, Xuanwu Group sent an assistant to the chief financial officer to negotiate a loan. The comrades at the credit union were very dissatisfied. They felt that it was a bit disrespectful to send only one assistant to negotiate a loan worth hundreds of millions. They drank a few more glasses at the wine table and talked about it.
Regarding this topic, the financial officer's assistant just smiled lightly: "It's only 100 million... Haha, you understand."
After Mr. Cao heard about it, he kept secretly and inquired privately. Sure enough, he heard that Xuanwu Group had carried out large-scale financing from other channels, with an amount of at least one billion. At that time, he became anxious and convened a meeting with the team of the company, and finally
The loan amount was increased to the maximum acceptable to the credit union, and then he personally rushed to the provincial capital to negotiate with Mr. Chen.
"I have prepared 200 million yuan this time. Mosquito legs are also meat, so Mr. Chen should stay out of the public eye." Mr. Cao said.
"Mr. Cao is so polite. Recently, our group's business has been very open and the funding gap is huge. We welcome every loan." Chen Runing replied politely.
Mr. Cao finally breathed a sigh of relief.
…
Hongqi Factory, each department, and each workshop has posted the latest salary assessment standards. Since Xuanwu Group has its own steel company, it can just adopt the system of borrowing rules and regulations. There are more than a hundred rules printed on the notice. See
People are dazzled. They did not understand the previous content, but everyone can clearly see the amount of the fine later. Taking fifty yuan as the minimum unit, for example, a negative incentive of fifty yuan for being late for one minute, and so on. Of course, positive incentives
There are some, but they are usually designed to the critical point that workers can reach, like a carrot hanging in front of a donkey's head, which can be seen but not eaten.
Although it only took a few days for the Xuanwu Group to annex the Hongqi Iron and Steel Plant, all measures were taken quite well. A group of young, promising and energetic Xuanwu people were quickly filled into the front-line management positions of the Hongqi Plant, and they were uniformly assigned to the workshop
Positions such as assistant director and deputy department head actually have greater authority than full-time positions. Not only do they have the power to dispose of workers, but they can also report directly to the executive deputy general manager.
As a result, the middle-level leaders who originally planned to wait and see what happens can no longer sit still. Even the relationship that was originally a life-and-death struggle has now become closer. Everyone sits down together and speaks ill of the "supervisors".
.
The supervisors refer to those assistants from the South. These people wear neat and clean work clothes all day long, including shirts and ties, and hard hats. They are unsmiling and selfless, and they easily incentivize workers.
The group of people sent by the Xuanwu Group to the Hongqi Factory are basically from the South. In order to take care of their eating habits, the factory has set up a small canteen. Every day at noon, the workers wear dirty work clothes and hold enamel jars and stainless steel lunch boxes.
When walking to the big canteen, you can also see this group of well-dressed Southern guys walking to their small canteen with empty hands, talking and laughing. Some workers have gone in to see it. The small canteen uses a buffet style, with three meat and three vegetarian dishes plus two meals a day.
There are cooking dishes, rice, steamed buns, soup, porridge, fruits, drinks, pastries and yogurt. The most annoying thing is that such a sumptuous lunch is free.
At noon that day, several young workers in the sintering workshop were puffing in the toilet. Because the new factory regulations stipulated that smoking was prohibited within the factory area, and if caught, they would be fined fifty yuan, so they could only take advantage of the free time after lunch.
I had a secret cigarette craving in the toilet.
Suddenly the financial assistant hurried in, and the workers immediately threw cigarette butts into the urinal at lightning speed. The assistant smelled the smell of cigarette smoke, looked at them suspiciously, and asked: "Who smokes?"
"Don't know?" the workers said in unison.
The assistant put the file bag in his hand on the sink, turned on the faucet and washed his hands. He used his little finger to pull out a pack of heart-to-heart napkins from his trouser pocket, wiped his hands clean reservedly, and spoke Mandarin with a strong southern flavor.
Said: "Smoking is prohibited in the factory area, including the bathroom. I hope there will be no next time."
After saying that, he left proudly. The workers gnashed their teeth and cursed silently. Suddenly someone saw the file bag on the sink.
"He pulled something."
"Throw him into the cesspit."
"Don't be busy, let's see what's there first."
Several workers opened their file bags and found two salary schedules, one for mid-level cadres and one for assistants. The salary gap was astonishing. The assistants’ salary bonus plus various subsidies amounted to almost six months.
It’s about a thousand yuan, while middle-level cadres at the same level in Hongqi Factory only have less than two thousand yuan.
Several young workers looked at each other, and suddenly someone said: "Take a photo with your phone and put it online."
Someone immediately echoed: "Yes, the Shangchang forum has been exposed!"
…
That night, a post caused a sensation in the internal forum of Hongqi Steel Plant. The post was posted by a newly registered account. It had no text content and only had two pictures taken with a mobile phone, comparing the salaries of assistants stationed in Xuanwu with those of mid-level cadres in the factory.
There were a lot of curses in the thread. I was full of resentment after the salary was lowered. When I saw these assistants who were showing off all day long and their monthly salary was several times higher than my own, I was immediately furious. They were not allowed to do this or that when they were at work. When I came back after work,
After going online at home, I finally had a channel to vent my anger. The workers were scolding each other, and the workshop directors who had worked for more than ten or twenty years before reaching middle management positions were even more resentful.
The next day, when the workers logged into the forum again, they found that the website was already under maintenance.
