Cao Mo didn't know Qian Wenhan from Xinhong Investment, but he had heard it from Xie Sipeng.
Qian Wenhan was also a gold digger in his early years, but he made his fortune earlier than Xie Sipeng, and he also had more vision and courage.
Qian Wenhan knew early on that it was difficult for individuals to obtain gold exploration rights and mining rights in China, and that guerrilla-style placer gold mining would not become a climate. In the mid-to-late 1990s, he used the capital accumulated in his early years to invest and build in Xinhai
The refinery, which purchased gold-containing ore from overseas and refined it, quickly developed and expanded, widening the gap with peers like Xie Sipeng.
Xinhong Refinery later issued new shares for Xinhai Gold. Qian Wenhan became the second largest shareholder of Xinhai Gold and the largest natural person shareholder of Xinhai Gold. Xinhai Gold is a state-owned listed company, and the controlling shareholder is
Xinhai Yu State-owned Assets Management Company.
Although Qian Wenhan has not directly intervened in the management of Xinhai Gold, he has not reduced his shares in Xinhai Gold over the past few years. In recent years, he has been actively promoting Xinhai Gold's overseas expansion. It can be said that Xinhai Gold Industry and even Xinhai Nonferrous Metals
One of the leading figures in the industry.
In recent years, under the leadership of its leader Zhou Shenhe, Xinhai Gold has grown extremely fast.
Cao Mo also took a look at the data of Xinhai Gold Industry this afternoon. After the acquisition of Qian Wenhan Xinhong Refinery and the overseas ore acquisition business in 2000, the total output of mined gold and refined gold was only 150,000.
ounces, but by 2006 annual gold production increased to one million ounces.
Xinhai Gold's expansion rate is very fast, which is reflected in the rapid rise in its stock price.
The shares held by Qian Wenhan have naturally increased; in addition, he has made some very successful investments in other fields. His net worth is not much inferior to that of the Lu family, and he is already a figure in the top wealthy circles in Xinhai.
Although Xie Sipeng's net worth is much lower than that of Qian Wenhan, he has known Qian Wenhan since his early years and can be regarded as having a good friendship.
Shen Ji also mentioned that Xinhai Gold Industry was interested in entering West Africa and wanted to cooperate with them. However, at that time, Cao Mo only had Yibogu and Oguta, two gold mines with high mining and refining costs and extremely limited profits.
He felt that transferring part of the equity to Xinhai Gold could negotiate his ideal price, so he did not have too deep contact with Jinhai Gold.
He did not expect that Qian Wenhan was still a shareholder of Jinhonghui. He pondered the names of Jinhonghui and Xinhong Mining, thinking that Qian Wenhan might be one of the founders of this powerful club?
"These are your friends, Mr. Cao?"
Qian Wenhan looked at Cheng Xi, Yu Jing, Chen Chang and Chen Chang's boss at Dongjiang Securities and asked Cao Mo,
"Which box are you in? I wonder if I will disturb you if I go over to toast you later?"
"I stay in Xinhai for very little time every year, but I have heard of Jinhong Club for a long time. I invited friends over for dinner today, but when I got here I found out that I was not a member and could not reserve a table. I could only wait here for my friends to come over to treat...
Cao Mo laughed and introduced Cheng Xi and the others to Qian Wenhan. As for the young man who was still standing by with his mouth open, he simply ignored them.
Although the grandson threatened Chen Chang with his job just now, which made him feel very unhappy, but still, Chen Chang has her own life and choices, and Chen Chang is not Cheng Xi.
Besides, the way he treated Han Shaorong and Lu Jianchao in Jinchen yesterday was actually exposed. If he didn't fight back with the strongest attitude, it would be impossible to call Han Shaorong. Lu Jianchao had scruples, but there was no need to behave in front of Qian Wenhan.
Aggressive and full of thorns.
And to completely ignore this kind of people can be considered a blow.
Cao Mo didn't introduce the young man with a tie, and Qian Wenhan didn't know what they were celebrating, so he naturally ignored it and asked, "Since Mr. Cao hasn't had a meal yet, if you don't worry, can I make arrangements today?"
"Then it's up to you, Mr. Qian," Cao Mo said.
After what happened yesterday, not to mention Shen Ji, Chen Rong, and Cao Mo were all worried that they would become isolated and helpless in Xinhai in the future. Of course, they would not refuse to meet Qian Wenhan, who was related to them in business.
Chen Chang's superiors were all eager to find a crack in the ground to crawl in. Seeing that both Cao Mo and Qian Wenhan were ignoring him, they naturally left in dejection and did not drag Chen Chang back to find trouble.
Cheng Xi, Yu Jing, and Chen Chang had all seen how Cao Mo looked in front of Lu Jianchao, the deputy director of Taihua Group. They were not particularly shocked at this time. They all stood aside like good girls and listened to where Cao Mo and Qian Wenhan were. Boring and shabby.
Cao Mo took out his cell phone and looked at it. He was not sure how long it would take for Shen Ji to arrive, and he was wondering whether he should go in first with Qian Wenhan.
"Mr. Cao, you have another friend who should be arriving soon. Let's wait here for him to come before we go in. It just rained for a while, and the air in the garden is fresh." Qian Wenhan suggested with a good eye for expressions.
"Oh, that friend of mine is my immediate boss in Dongsheng, and he is also the nephew of Ding Zhaoqiang of Dongsheng. I wonder if Mr. Qian recognizes him?" Cao Mo asked.
"You're talking about Shen Ji. He won hundreds of thousands from me while playing cards during the Spring Festival. I heard that his poker skills improved greatly after he took charge of overseas business in Dongsheng. He just doesn't like how to compete with us old guys. ." Qian Wenhan said with a smile.
Since they decided to wait in the garden for Shen Ji to come, no one was busy going in. Qian Wenhan asked the driver to drive away and the security guards to leave. He and Cao Mo stood at the steps of the main building and chatted casually.
Soon he saw a beautiful woman wearing a light blue skirt walking quickly from the main building and greeted Qian Wenhan cordially: "Mr. Qian, are these your friends?"
Qian Wenhan introduced: "This is Mr. Cao, Mr. Cao, and this is Xiao Zhou from our Jinhong Club. In the future, if you invite friends over to eat or play cards, just ask her for arrangements. Xiao Zhou, today I asked Mei Tang Is there anyone available? Just arrange for me to have dinner with Mr. Cao and Mr. Cao’s friends there..."
"Zhou Weiwei, please give me more advice." Zhou Weiwei took out the gold-gilt business card from the silver business card box she was holding and handed it to Cao Mo and the others.
Zhou Weiwei is beautiful, but the makeup on her face is a bit heavy. She looks like she is thirty-three or four years old, but her eyebrows have premature traces of age, and she also has a worldly sophistication with rich life experience.
Cao Mo took the business card and saw that her title was the deputy general manager of Jinhonghui, but seeing that her relationship with Qian Wenhan was not very close, he thought that Jinhonghui should be directly responsible for the specific operations besides Qian Wenhan. The major shareholder, after taking the business card, simply said hello.
However, before Zhou Weiwei turned around and went back to the main building to gather her troops, Cao Mo noticed that she was looking at Chen Chang curiously, and he thought to himself, could there be something that hasn't calmed down after Chen Chang's boss returned to the box, something that would alarm him? Zhou Weiwei?
It's not surprising to think so. The Jinhong Club is not very large, and only members are eligible to make reservations. Zhou Weiwei should have some idea of the guests staying in the main building and the banquets.
"Why did Mr. Qian come to Jinhonghui to inspect today, and asked you to catch Cao Mo? With today's behavior, you probably don't need to take advantage of me?" Shen Ji quickly drove over and saw Cao Mo with him. Qian Wenhan stood talking together, stopped the car and ran over to joke.
"You keep saying that you want to introduce me to Cao Mo, but I haven't seen you in action for so long." Qian Wenhan said.
"Hey, last time I played cards with Mr. Qian during the Spring Festival, but Cao Mo had already returned to Kanem. Yesterday, Cao Mo rushed back home early in the morning. I wanted to introduce you to each other but I didn't have a chance. On that occasion yesterday, I If I want to ask Mr. Qian to sit down and have a chat, Mr. Qian, will you throw the water in the cup at my face?" Because of the Ding family, Shen Ji has a wide circle of friends in Xinhai's rich circle, and he is very casual with Qian Wen. Han said jokingly.
As everyone walked towards the main building, they were immediately greeted by two beautiful waitresses wearing cheongsams with gold-trimmed sleeves and leading them to the elevator on the left side of the hall.
Wenmei Hall is on the third floor. When the elevator reached the second floor, it suddenly opened. A fat middle-aged man smelling of alcohol was about to walk in. He looked up and suddenly saw Chen Chang in the elevator. He was stunned for a while, and then grabbed him the next moment. Chen Chang's arm pulled the unprepared Chen Chang out of the elevator and almost fell over. He shouted angrily at the person behind him:
"Manager Zhang, you keep saying that Chen Chang has an emergency at home. You go back and Chen Chang is still here. Aren't you a bit unreasonable? I didn't do anything to Chen Chang just now. I touched my little hand just to connect with each other and drink a glass of wine. Isn't it too much to liven up the atmosphere? If Chen Chang is not happy, you ask her to tell me and I will apologize to her. Mr. Zhang, you just talk nonsense when you open your mouth. That would be too boring. If no one from Dongjiang Securities Being honest, how dare my friends and I entrust you with so much money to manage?"
"Chen Chang, do you have a problem with me, Sun Jinting? Did I go too far just now? Okay, I apologize to you now, please accept my apology!" The middle-aged man grabbed Chen Chang's arm to prevent her from struggling. , talking nonsense with a mouth full of alcohol.
Cao Mo pressed his toes against the elevator door and watched quietly as Chen Chang's boss and Zhou Weiwei stood awkwardly in the small hall outside the elevator.
"Xiao Zhou, what's going on?" Qian Wenhan looked at Zhou Weiwei with a gloomy face and asked.
Even if Chen Chang is not Cao Mo's friend, a young lady being teased and teased like this by a drunken guest at the Jinhong Club is something that greatly affects her image.
Jinhong Club is a high-end club for business exchanges, leisure and dining. Not to mention the guests, even the service staff of the club should not be harassed like this.
Otherwise, how can you improve your skills?
Think this is a big bathhouse?
Zhou Weiwei came over with her head as big as a pimple, and without Cheng Xi, Yu Jing went up to help indignantly, and signaled the two male waiters to grab the middle-aged man and let go of Chen Chang, and explained to Qian Wenhan with a wry smile:
"Mr. Cao's friend and manager Zhang Xiaowei are both employees of Dongjiang Securities Investment Department. They made a reservation to entertain Mr. Sun and the others at Jinhonghui today. There seemed to be a misunderstanding just now. Mr. Cao's friend ran out because he was unhappy. , I happened to meet Mr. Cao and Mr. Qian outside. Manager Zhang just went back to the box and explained to Mr. Sun that Mr. Cao’s friends had left beforehand. Mr. Sun was a little unhappy and wanted to leave first..."
Zhou Weiwei was on duty at Jinhonghui today. She knew exactly how many guests there were and their origins. She also knew best what happened just now.
She didn't know what Cao Mo's identity was, but since Cao Mo could allow Qian Wenhan to entertain him personally, his identity was destined to be extraordinary.
Zhou Weiwei didn't know what the relationship between Cao Mo and the female employee of Dongjiang Securities was. They might be friends or suitors, but her top priority was to avoid conflicts between the two parties as much as possible when they met. She specially asked someone to guard her downstairs.
While Qian Wenhan, Cao Mo and the others took the elevator, she rushed to Sun Jinting's box to comfort them.
But she didn't want Sun Jinting to insist on calling Zhang Xiaowei to call Chen Chang back. After struggling for a while and seeing that he couldn't succeed, he lost his temper and left, causing the two groups of people to meet at the elevator entrance.
"It's not a coincidence. It was because my friend said that someone was pouring wine on her at the wine table. We were so worried that we rushed over. Then we would have a meal at Jinhonghui by the way." Cao Mo curled his lips and said to Qian Wenhan, "I have been doing this all these years.
When I'm abroad, I don't stay in China very much. People say that you know honor and disgrace when you have enough food and clothing. I thought that after so many years of domestic economic development, everyone has to be civilized when eating, drinking and making friends. They don't bother to play the role of a bully.
Woolen cloth……"
"Who the hell are you?" The middle-aged man felt dissatisfied when he saw Qian Wenhan's face, but when he saw Cao Mo dressed as a poor boy and speaking in a tone that made him want to fly to the sky, he felt evil in his heart due to the drunkenness.
He couldn't help but push Cao Mo aside to cool off.
It's a pity that the two male waiters were too strong and held him down. Cao Mo didn't have a chance to show off, and he felt very unhappy. He could only stare at Chen Chang's boss and asked coldly: "Is this your Dongjiang Securities investment style?
For the sake of a rubbish customer, you don’t even care about respecting or caring for your employees? What kind of rubbish company is Dongjiang Securities?”
"Does Sun Jinting have friends here? If he doesn't have any friends with him, Xiao Zhou, please arrange for someone to take him to the hospital to sober up, and don't let him stay here again.
It's so embarrassing..." Qian Wenhan frowned and asked Zhou Weiwei to quickly arrange for someone to invite the drunk Sun Jinting out. If the noise was bigger, he would feel embarrassed if it attracted onlookers.
"Mr. Qian, let's take Lao Sun away now. He's really drunk. I'm so sorry!"
No one else was alarmed for the time being, but Dongjiang Securities held a business banquet today. In addition to Sun Jinting, there were several other investors who were acquaintances with Sun Jinting. They were originally making noises and making fun of each other, but now they saw that the situation was not right, so they hurried over to join them.
He dragged Sun Jinting into the elevator and left first.
Qian Wenhan then looked at his boss Chen Chang, who was red-faced after being scolded by Cao Mo and did not dare to refute, and asked: "Are you from the investment department of Dongjiang Securities? Then call Ge Jun and ask him to come over and explain what happened today.
what happened?"
Seeing Cao Mo, Shen Ji was a little confused. Qian Wenhan explained: "Xinhai is a national financial center. There are thirty large and small securities companies. Unlike Cathay Pacific, SDIC, Haitong, and Bank of China, Dongjiang's business scale is still very large."
Small, but I have known Ge Jun, President of Dongjiang Investment Department for many years, and I also believe in his professionalism. Some funds are managed by them. I did not expect that in order to attract investment, they would resort to such crooked ways...
"
Boss Chen Chang stood there dumbfounded, not expecting this to happen.
…………
…………
As if it was an insignificant episode, everyone walked into an extremely luxurious box on the third floor.
Qian Wenhan rushed to Jinhonghui at this time. Instead of having a meal, he made an appointment with some friends to play cards. Although he temporarily found someone to take his place at the table, he also had to rush to the annex to say hello to his friends.
"Wow, Qian Wenhan of Jinhonghui is on the same level as our Huayi boss. He gives you face like this. You must be too majestic!"
Although Yu Jing has a happy-go-lucky temperament, she graduated from a prestigious school majoring in finance and is familiar with the figures in Xinhai's wealthy circle. When she saw Qian Wenhan leaving, she couldn't help but sigh in surprise.
"Qian Wenhan really wanted to give me face, so he shouldn't have let the people from Jinhonghui hold down the man named Sun, so that you could see that I am even more powerful!" Cao Mo said with a regretful smile.
"Look, you're still shaking!" Cheng Xi glared at Cao Mo angrily.
Chen Chang took the phone with some melancholy and asked Cao Mo: "Our manager just sent me a text message to apologize. How should I reply to him?"
Chen Chang was still a little confused and extremely troubled inside.
She, the most scheming of the three girls, didn't know how to face such a thing.
Cao Mo vented his anger on her behalf. Seeing Sun Jinting being dragged out would make everyone feel happy. As Qian Wenhan, as a major customer of Dongjiang Securities Investment Department, he was naturally qualified to call Ge Jun, the president of Dongjiang Securities Investment Department, around.
The problem is that Cao Mo and Qian Wenhan only met for the first time, and she and Cao Mo can only be regarded as ordinary friends, and she can't really rely on Cao Mo as a backer.
This means that even if Ge Jun is called over today and forced to say a few words of apology on the scene, what will Ge Jun think of her when he figures out the relationship?
If she still stays at Dongjiang Securities, how will she face her department boss Ge Jun and her direct boss Zhang Xiaowei?
Cao Mo looked at Chen Chang calmly and asked, "What are you planning to do?"
Yu Jing pouted. With her and Cheng Xi's more forthright temperament, she certainly didn't want to see Chen Chang swallow his anger, let alone Chen Chang working in such a distorted environment, but she didn't give any unobtrusive advice, but
Let’s see how Chen Chang decides.
"I can't accept the rules Zhang Xiaowei said. If Mr. Ge wants to protect him, I think I shouldn't stay at Dongjiang Securities anymore..." Chen Chang said biting his lip.
Shen Ji had limited opportunities to interact with Yu Jing and Chen Chang. He still remembered that Chen Chang had taken the initiative to strike up a conversation with him, and his impression of Chen Chang was not very good. When he heard her say this, he couldn't help but secretly nod.
The direct operation department of a securities company has high risks and high returns. If you have the opportunity and ability to apply for it, you can be said to have half-stepped into the gold-collar class. He is considered a senior executive in Dongsheng. He has been working in Dongsheng for eight years.
The salary, options and dividends received are only about 2 million, but in the direct operation department of the securities company, almost half of the middle-level people have this income, and this does not include the bonus of the bull market.
It is not easy for Chen Chang, who wants to make a name for himself in Xinhai, to have such determination.
"As long as you are mentally prepared, don't reply to this text message yet! To me and Lao Shen, whether this Ge Jun is an enemy or a friend has not yet been decided," Cao Mo said and asked Shen Ji with a smile
, "Do you think this Ge Jun is an enemy or a friend to us?"
Although he didn't want to take Chen Chang's matter on him, he couldn't completely ignore it when it got to this point. There was no way he could go to Qian Wenhan now and say that this matter would be settled, and there was no need to involve Dongjiang Securities.
Ge Jun, the president of the investment department, pulled him over and made everyone look bad.
And he didn't persuade Qian Wenhan to settle the matter just now. In fact, he himself also wanted to see Ge Jun.
Han Shaorong really started out in securities investment. After 2000, he made a lot of money by acquiring state-owned employee stocks and listing them for circulation. After that, his subsidiary Huamao Investment has been making big or small moves in the securities market.
Although Xinhai's securities investment market is currently dominated by state-owned, public equity and bank capital, among natural persons or private capital, Han Shaorong can definitely be said to be one of the most influential people, and can even influence state-owned companies to a certain extent.
Capital such as public funds and banks advance and retreat with him.
Although Dongjiang Securities is only a B-level securities company, as the head of the self-operated department of Dongjiang Securities, it is absolutely impossible for Ge Jun to have nothing to do with Han Shaorong.
As for whether this relationship is good or bad, it is difficult to say.
"Are you going to test me on such a simple question?" Shen Ji said with a smile, "Qian Wenhan is a very smart person. If he can call Ge Jun over, he can at least be sure that Ge Jun is not wearing the same pants as the one over there..."
