Rebirth of the Age of Wealth

Chapter 327 White lies

Zhao Bing's words were believed by everyone, and everyone went back to their offices. Zhao Bing followed Zhao Changtai into the most powerful place in the bank, the office of the chairman of the board of directors.

The secretary poured a cup of coffee for the two of them, then turned and walked out. When he reached the door, he turned around and closed the door smoothly. He took this moment to glance at Zhao Bing as if nothing had happened.

Zhao Bing's eyes were following Secretary Ye's twist of waist. He immediately understood when he saw the look in her eyes, but he still immediately stood respectfully in front of Zhao Changtai's desk.

"Sit down and talk!" The old man sighed. It seemed that the board meeting just now cost him a lot of energy.

"Today's stocks really have nothing to do with you, or has some news leaked?" Zhao Changtai said worriedly.

It is said that a rise in the stock price is a great news for the company. It shows that the market is optimistic about the company's development, and it also has a great impact on its own worth. If you are short of money, you can cash out by selling the stock.

The debt ratio of banks is generally maintained at 90% or higher, but local banks in Hong Kong Island are relatively conservative, and the debt ratio is not so high, generally around 80%.

As a relatively well-known local bank, Chang Tai Bank has the characteristics of a local bank. On the surface, its debt ratio is not high. For a listed company with total assets of nearly 20 billion Hong Kong dollars, the market value is more than 3 billion, and the price-to-book ratio is less than twice.

, which is also considered a more reasonable valuation.

Zhao Changtai has experienced many financial risks and is extremely sensitive to the fluctuations of the securities market. He has witnessed many acquisition cases with his own eyes. If there is no rising logic and the stock rises for no reason, the first thing to consider is whether someone is deliberately playing tricks.

It must be said that Zhao Changtaijiang is very old. He can go from an ordinary working family to the chairman of the board of directors of a listed bank with a net worth of more than one billion. There is an inevitable logic to his success.

He owns more than 30% of the shares, but the market share exceeds this number. If a few more major shareholders on the board of directors rebel, his control of Changtai Bank will not be preserved.

Zhao Bing touched his half-bald hair and said: "I said I went to Singapore this time for negotiations, but in fact it was just a pre-war. People in the board of directors know this very well."

"The final substantive negotiation must be personally conducted by you, the chairman of the board of directors and the president. If the memorandum signed during this negotiation is considered positive, it is a bit far-fetched, and the market reaction is too intense."

Zhao Changtai nodded and said: "Since it has nothing to do with you, that's fine. Let it be revealed tonight that your trip to Singapore went very smoothly and that you have reached a cooperation agreement with the relevant departments!"

"In addition, prepare a sum of funds and be ready to buy shares at any time. If someone does something wrong, we can deal with it. I always feel uneasy!"

Zhao Bing said: "Don't worry, I will prepare it right away and hand it over to the newspaper office before getting off work in the evening. It will appear on the front page of the financial newspaper early tomorrow morning!"

"Is it really necessary to prepare funds? Maybe someone is interested in our high-quality assets and wants to invest?" Zhao Bing asked carefully.

"Well, it's always better to be prepared. You should prepare first, sit down, and let's talk!" Zhao Changtai sighed and said to Zhao Bing, and motioned for him to sit on the chair opposite.

"I am already seventy-five this year, and you are forty-eight. Think about how time flies. I have been working for a lifetime. After this is over in a few days, I want to retire!"

The old man's words made Zhao Bing ecstatic. The old man was retiring. Naturally, he was not retiring from the position of chairman of the board of directors, but from the position of president.

Naturally, only Zhao Bing can occupy this position. This is also the signal that Zhao Changtai has been releasing to the outside world in recent years. Zhao Bing is his successor, and Zhao Bing has also been the vice president for many years. It is a normal thing to strengthen the position.

"Your brother is not up to par. After I retire, the position of president will be handed over to you!" Zhao Changtai continued. He didn't know whether he was really old or felt that his position was unshakable. He could say such a thing.

.

The clan atmosphere on Hong Kong Island is even more serious than on the mainland. Zhao Bing is the eldest son and the natural successor. But now I hear the old man’s intention is that he was put in the position because his younger brothers were no longer useful.

After Zhao Bing heard this, he almost couldn't even say what he originally wanted to say, and felt a chill in his heart.

When Zhao Bing saw the old man looking at him, he quickly adjusted his mentality. His face showed an expression of fear, but also a hint of excitement and a triumphant smile, which Zhao Changtai saw clearly.

This expression made Zhao Changtai very satisfied. If people have no shortcomings, how can they be controlled? Although they are father and son, they are also superiors and subordinates in the business field.

"Father, don't worry, I will definitely do my best to promote Changtai Bank's strategic layout of going global!" Zhao Bing adjusted his mentality and immediately expressed his stance.

Even though he said this, his heart felt a little chilly. Zhao Bing had nothing to be happy about.

As long as Zhao Changtai is the chairman of the board of directors, Zhao Bing's position as president is unstable, and with Zhao Xu and his third wife around, Zhao Bing's heart is not at ease.

It used to be his second brother Zhao Shi. After the second wife passed away, he became the current Zhao Xu. Unless the third wife is no longer here one day, it will change.

This is similar to the prince in ancient times. Rather than saying that the mother is valued based on the son, it is better to say that the son is valued based on the mother. If the mother dies and the stepmother takes over, the son's status will not be guaranteed.

"Well, go and do your work. Why haven't you seen Xiao Jing these days? If you have time, let him go back and take a look at my old bones!" Zhao Changtai said slowly.

Xiaojing is the son of Zhao Bing and the eldest grandson of Zhao Changtai, but he is one year older than Zhao Xu and has a bad temper with Zhao Xu, so he rarely goes to Zhao Changtai's house.

Hearing Zhao Changtai's tone, Zhao Bing could feel that the old man was indeed old, and his heart softened, and he said: "He is currently busy with his master's thesis, so he may be busy. He will graduate in a while!"

After Zhao Bing went out, he notified the people below to handle the matter according to Zhao Changtai's instructions, and then left early. He had been away from home for several days and it was time to go back and take a look.

When Li Weidong saw Liu Jinhui coming back in the evening, he felt relieved and thought about how to persuade her to rest at home for a while. Until after dinner, Li Weidong didn't think of Zhe.

After dinner, Liu Jinhui suddenly said: "I made an appointment with Dr. Meng, and I have to go for a prenatal check-up tomorrow!"

Li Weidong's mind changed, and he suddenly thought of a way, and said with a smile: "I will go with you!"

There are two types of people in the world who speak most effectively. One is the primary school teacher. No matter what he says, he can always hear it. What our teachers say is definitely more effective than what our parents say. The other is doctors. Doctors

Whatever you say is right, you must listen to it. This is called respecting the doctor's orders, which is authoritative.

Li Weidong played with his son for a while, went to the study, found Dr. Meng's phone number and called him, and then returned to the bedroom with satisfaction.

Early the next morning, a group of two cars went to the hospital. Even Shen Yueying frowned when she saw the situation, but she couldn't say anything about her son's idea. He must be right for being so good.

Liu Jinhui went in, and Li Weidong was waiting on the sofa at the door. The entire third floor was occupied by the obstetrics and gynecology department, but here was the prenatal check-up area for VIP customers. Children began to enjoy the lives of rich people before their children were born. This is a capitalist society.

Not long after, Li Weidong saw Liu Jinhui coming out, followed by Dr. Meng. Li Weidong greeted him and asked, "How is the situation?"

"Everything is fine, but the recent period is more critical. It is best to rest at home, and at least not to work too hard. Even if you worry about things, you should do less!" Dr. Meng glanced at Li Weidong and said meaningfully.

"Why can't you worry anymore? You're too tired?" Liu Jinhui glanced at Li Weidong and asked in surprise.

"I don't know. You have to use your brain to worry about it. Although your brain is small, it consumes a lot of energy. It is said that the human brain consumes about 35% to 40% of the energy consumed by the human body every day."

"Isn't this a lot of consumption? So don't look at people who work hard every day and think they are tired. In fact, they are not as tired as mental workers. What do you think, Doctor Meng?"

Li Wei hurriedly continued, but this was not nonsense, but was based on research. However, this knowledge is relatively partial and not many people know about it.

In later generations, a lot of cold knowledge about human beings was all over the Internet. I don’t know whether it is true or false. Anyway, it is a proposition that cannot be falsified. No one can say it is false. For example, why is the human head so big, but only 3 can be used? About %, geniuses like Einstein only used 5%.

"Mr. Li is really knowledgeable and talented. He knows all these data. It's really admirable. Studies have shown that this is indeed the case. There is a difference between a day's physical labor and mental labor."

"You can recover from a day's physical work after a night's rest, but it's more difficult to get a good rest after a day's mental work, and you'll be tired even after one night's sleep."

"And the first trimester is a critical period for the rapid development of the fetus. You must not be careless and pay attention to nutrition and rest!" Dr. Meng finally said about the fetus.

"Look, what I said is right. Let's listen to the doctor and have a good rest at home these days. Don't think about the things in the company. Let them fight and go back after a while!" Li Weidong Follow the advice.

Liu Jinhui always felt that something was wrong, that there seemed to be something going on here, but seeing that Dr. Meng and Li Weidong looked serious, and it was about the child in their belly, she would rather believe it or not.

"Is it true, Doctor Meng, didn't you just say that your development was fine?" Liu Jinhui asked even though she had made up her mind.

"It's good, but you still have to pay attention to it in the future. It will be better when the month is older. Just pay attention to taking a reasonable rest!" Dr. Meng said with a smile.

With a smile on her face, she felt a lot of helplessness in her heart. She promised Li Weidong last night to persuade Liu Jinhui to rest more. This was something she often said.

When a patient comes to see a doctor, he will always say something at the end, pay more attention to rest. Maybe if he says it too much, it has become a mantra. Anyway, this sentence is like a panacea and will never go wrong.

Now it was a bit difficult for her to say it deliberately. It seemed to be a bit of a lie, so her tone of voice was not so firm. Fortunately, Liu Jinhui no longer struggled with it.

As soon as Dr. Meng finished speaking, someone called her and said: "Mr. Li, Mrs. Li, I won't send it away. We will contact you for the next examination. We will also go to your house at the appropriate time.

Routine inspection!”

"Okay, Doctor Meng, please excuse me!" Li Weidong said politely, his VIP service has been upgraded to Supreme VIP, and he can come to the house for examination. Take a look at this service.

The two were escorted back to the car by two bodyguards. Li Weidong and Liu Jinhui sat in the Mercedes-Benz, and the BMW was driven by Miao Yu, just in case.

Just after leaving the hospital gate, the phone in the car rang. Ding Yuan glanced at it and said, "It's Secretary Zhang's call!"

Li Weidong picked up the phone himself. Although his phone number was not very public, everyone who needed to know knew it. However, there were very few people who called him, and those who knew would contact his secretary in advance.

"What's the matter?" Li Weidong asked in a deep voice.

"Chairman, Mr. Xu wants to see you and report to you about a certain stock!" Zhang Dongshuo's language was concise. He didn't know what Li Weidong was doing, and he also knew Li Weidong's temper. He had to say everything in one sentence.

"Where is the other person? Ask him to answer the phone!" Li Weidong understood as soon as he heard it that it must be about Changtai Bank's stocks. This was also what he ordered Xu Yanden to do, and it was normal to report to him.

"Chairman, I am Xu Yandeng. I studied the stock you mentioned all night last night. There are some special circumstances that I need to report to you. In addition, there were reports about them in the financial newspapers this morning!" Xu Yandeng said nothing.

He paused, finished speaking in one breath, and waited for Li Weidong's reply.

Liu Jinhui heard clearly from the side. Although she didn't know the specific matter, she knew from Xu Yandeng's speaking speed and tone that it was a big deal, and she wouldn't call Li Weidong for ordinary things.

Who doesn't know now that Li Weidong generally doesn't manage specific matters. Unless he is interested in this matter, otherwise he will only talk about big things and wait to see the results.

"If you are busy, just go ahead and ask Miao Yu to take me back!" Liu Jinhui said understandingly.

Of course Li Weidong couldn't agree. How could he be so relaxed at this time? Although he didn't see a tail behind him, no one could guarantee that there really wasn't one.

Li Weidong waved his hand to Liu Jinhui and said to the phone: "You wait in the company, I will go there in a while, and we will talk about it then!"

When Xu Yandeng expressed that he had heard it, Li Weidong hung up the phone and put it on his seat and said: "How big of a deal can it be? If I send you back, it's not too late to go to the company!"

"Besides, the world is not as big as my wife and children. It doesn't matter what the company does!" Li Weidong added.

Liu Jinhui listened to Li Weidong's witty words, leaned next to Li Weidong, leaned on the back of the seat, breathed out comfortably, and said: "It seems that I have been a little tired these past few days. It's time to take a rest. Thank you.

"

"Why are you thanking me? Besides, our parents-in-law say thank you more often than not!" Li Weidong said inexplicably.

"Hmph, you and Dr. Meng are working together to persuade me to rest more at home. Don't think I can't see it!"

"Haha, it's nonsense. It's called joining forces. It's called coincidence, or it's called heroes seeing the same thing. Do you think you should get more rest?" Li Weidong naturally couldn't admit it, otherwise the nature would change, and so would a white lie.

lie.

Liu Jinhui glanced sideways at Li Weidong, and stopped talking after hehehe, with an obvious expression of disbelief. She was not a fool, the two of them were singing a double act there!

Li Weidong sent Liu Jinhui home, told her to have a good rest, and drove away without stopping. Liu Jinhui watched the car disappear from behind before going upstairs with a frown.

Yesterday, she felt that several bodyguards were nervous, but when she asked, they all said it was nothing. But she could feel that it was different from before. Now that Li Weidong advised her to stay at home, something was even worse.

However, Li Weidong definitely didn't tell her because he was afraid that she would worry. She couldn't ask too many questions, and she couldn't help. She should just stay at home and stay at home. The best way to help is not to cause trouble.

Li Weidong arrived at the company and when he got out of the elevator, he saw Zhang Dongshuo and Xu Yandeng waiting. Li Weidong was not polite and asked directly: "What's going on? I have to tell you in person!"

Xu Yandeng looked around and said: "I feel that Changtai Bank has financial problems. It may be suspected of illegal loans and taking bank funds for himself!"
