Rebirth of the Age of Wealth

Chapter 227 A long journey

Li Shihui guessed at this time that Li Weidong must have known something in advance, otherwise he would not have made arrangements in advance and ignored him. Now that the policy came out, he immediately asked him to come over.

If it is true, and if Li Weidong does not have some unknown connection, then it means that his insight is quite powerful.

After hearing Li Shihui's words, Li Weidong was silent for a while and said: "I'm very happy that you think so. At least you don't have such deep prejudices against the mainland like many Hong Kong Islanders!"

Li Shihui believes that the development of finance in the mainland is an opportunity and believes in the financial market in the mainland. Based on this alone, Li Weidong should give him a chance.

After Li Shihui heard this, he hurriedly said: "I very much agree with some of your opinions. The inland economy will definitely develop rapidly, there is no doubt about it!"

"The countries in Southeast Asia are much worse than those in the mainland in terms of resources and execution capabilities. They have been able to develop rapidly for more than ten years. There is no reason why the mainland cannot!"

Li Shihui is engaged in information analysis and is extremely sensitive to these economic data. The Four Asian Tigers have developed rapidly and their economic growth has remained at double digits for many years.

The population, market, and resources are better than their inland counterparts, and the possibility of success is very high. The inland population is too large, with a base of nearly one billion. How terrifying is such a market.

In a sense, there is strength when there are many people, and China has always emphasized that concentrating its efforts on doing big things, there is strength when there are many people, this is a superiority!

It is not necessary for everyone to reach a moderately prosperous level, but only needs to consume one hundred yuan per capita per year, and this volume has already caught up with the total output value of most countries in the world.

Li Weidong was quite surprised to see that Li Shihui didn't look like a flatterer. It seemed that there were people who understood. There must be a reason why Hong Kong's rich people came to invest in the mainland.

One billion people cannot remain poor, otherwise the people will be unwilling. How to get rid of poverty, development is the last word, and this is an opportunity!

Li Weidong looked through the information brought by Li Shihui, some of which were in Chinese and English. When he saw the seals of the Hong Kong Monetary Authority and the Ministry of Finance, as well as the audit by Yongan Accounting Firm, Li Weidong felt relieved.

Li Weidong didn't hesitate much. He had already made his decision when he asked Li Shihui to come. Now that Li Shihui's knowledge of the inland exceeded Li Weidong's expectations, there was no problem.

Li Weidong solemnly said: "You are now the president of Wanli Bank. I authorize you to form a team as soon as possible, increase the registered capital, and then contact the mainland central bank!"

Li Weidong paused and then said: "The registered capital is only 500 million. If there is need to increase it, increase it again. I will notify Zou Yi to go through the procedures!"

There are hundreds of millions of dollars in cash waiting for him in the account of Xingying Capital. If it weren't for Zou Yi's investments in Europe, he might have doubled the registered capital.

Although Li Shihui had been mentally prepared, he was still excited by Li Weidong's words. Wanli Bank is a subsidiary of Ruibos Holdings, and he has nothing to do with Peking Capital from now on.

Li Shihui excitedly promised: "Chairman, don't worry, I will do my best to ensure that things are done well!"

At this time, don't do anything that is beyond your capabilities, thank you, or make concessions. If you have the opportunity, seize it. Don't be reserved, express your stance to the leader quickly!

HK$500 million is definitely not a lot in the banking industry and can only belong to small banks. However, this is Li Weidong's test and it will not require much capital in the initial stage.

Li Weidong could even imagine that if the pilot was successful, these two words would definitely fall on their heads, so it could only be in a certain region, or even a joint venture.

Li Weidong looked at the name on the document, chanted it several times in succession, and said, "There is only one sales department?"

"Yes, there is only one. Now the property has been sold to us, and the personnel have not been moved for the time being!"

"The name Wanli is not good-sounding. It sounds like a robbery. No wonder it cannot develop. The name is unlucky. Let's change the name and call it Wanli Bank, Pengcheng Wanli!"

Li Weidong made the final decision, saying that one person can make a lot of money is robbery, and naturally it is not as loud as a journey of thousands of miles.

Li Shihui glanced at Li Weidong to confirm that he was not joking, and then immediately said: "Okay, I'll do it as soon as I get back!"

Li Weidong continued: "Also, just one sales department is a bit too little. Why should we set up sales departments in various districts on Hong Kong Island? If there is no visibility, how can you talk to the central bank!"

Li Weidong originally wanted to follow the practice of the big banks in his previous life, and have one a few streets away. As for whether it is a branch or a sub-branch, who is in charge of it?

However, his positioning is different. His main business is still in the mainland. He has a certain reputation in Hong Kong Island, so it is not too ugly. He does not have too high requirements for attracting reserves.

Li Shihui naturally has nothing to disagree with. He will unconditionally obey instructions and orders that can strengthen the bank. Moreover, the plan to enter the mainland is only at the policy level.

He couldn't just do nothing and wait for the policy to be implemented. If the talks couldn't be reached and entry into the mainland was blocked, how could he stop doing this? Li Shihui certainly couldn't allow this to happen.

There are more than a dozen sales offices in more than a dozen districts on Hong Kong Island. It cannot be completed in a day or two, and the approval procedures will take a while. He will definitely not be idle these days.

Li Shihui said cautiously: "The address of the sales department is easy to handle, but we need to recruit a lot of professional talents, and you need to host this!"

Li Weidong knew what this meant. Li Shihui wanted to know how much power Li Weidong gave him. He was the president, Li Weidong was the actual controller, and his power came from Li Weidong.

Li Weidong waved his hand generously and said: "You decide for yourself. I only look at the results. Any problems will be your responsibility. I will arrange for financial personnel to be stationed as soon as possible!"

Li Weidong can only believe in the contract now. Problems are inevitable, but with the supervision and audit of the financial specialist, the probability will be reduced a lot. Besides, as long as the senior management is in his hands, there will be no big waves.

Li Shihui breathed a sigh of relief. He was afraid that Li Weidong would take too much care. It wasn't that he didn't believe in Li Weidong's ability, but that Li Weidong had too many things to do and his time was unreliable.

Li Weidong naturally knows this about himself, so he will let go of many things. The more detailed he is, the more time will be spent. If the time is not reliable, it will easily delay things.

When Li Shihui delegated power to Li Weidong, he naturally had to show that he was trustworthy, so Li Weidong should rest assured.

Li Weidong waited for Li Shihui to finish expressing his determination and said with a smile: "These are the things that can be solved by fax, but I think it's better to explain it to you in person before I feel relieved!"

Li Shihui hurriedly said: "Yes, I also want to ask you for advice in person. Every time I listen to you speak, I feel enlightened and I will benefit a lot!"

Li Weidong waved his hand and said: "Now that you are here, don't be in a hurry to go back. You can go to the banks in the mainland to inspect and see the business model of the banks in the mainland!"

"Don't think that the mainland is necessarily backward, and don't think that those who are advanced must adapt to the inland. You still need to understand the basic situation of the inland, otherwise you will be blind!"

The sutras recited by foreign monks may not necessarily be correct. If you want to do business, you must understand this country, its people and its way of life!
