Rebirth: My 80s

Chapter 735 Business Group Two

July 22nd, severe heat.

Huaqiang Swire Bank branch was officially opened in Futian Central Block, not far from Shangbu Industrial Zone.

Interestingly, this road was called "Huaqiang Road", and Huaqiang North, which became famous in later generations, was a branch road extending from its main road.

Huaqiang Swire Bank opened on Huaqiang Road, which seemed to have some kind of advertising effect.

On the opening day, the gongs and drums were noisy, the firecrackers were blasting, and the lion dance performance with Lingnan characteristics attracted many people to watch. Later, two large groups of customers came to visit. Compared with the opening of Nanyang Bank in Luohu that year, At that time, there were few customers, but the scene was much more lively.

The first batch of customers were a group headed by Huadian Corporation and representatives of SAR joint ventures. According to people familiar with the situation, these companies are more or less related to Huadian Corporation, and several electronics factories are manufacturers of Huadian pagers. Spare parts supplier.

Since investing hundreds of millions in foreign exchange to build the industrial park, Huadian has become one of the largest companies in the special zone.

The second group of clients is a group headed by China Merchants Bureau and composed of representatives of state-owned enterprises in the SAR. Although they are not as wealthy as the joint venture delegation, they are superior in number. Almost all state-owned enterprises that can be named in the SAR have sent representatives. , both high and low brought some business meaning.

This was obviously a planned arrangement, and the two major business circles strongly supported Huaqiang Swire Bank.

One has to sigh with emotion at its solid background and profound foundation.

In the following days, good news continued to come from Huaqiang Swire Bank in the SAR:

Outside the office door of the business group in the same department, Ran Zi paused.

He is now considered a big celebrity in the SAR. Once he appears at the ribbon-cutting ceremony of Huaqiang Swire Bank branch, there will definitely be some good people trying to tease out the relationship between him and Huaqiang Swire Bank. Although they may not be able to get anything out of it, Huadian Recruitment The aftermath of the public opinion has not dissipated. It is better to do less than to do more.

A team member who was not asleep actually raised his head from his desk: "If everyone is free, I have no idea. The problem is that other people in the industry are busy with business and have good commission income every day. Only our team If you don’t arrange any work, isn’t this treating people differently?”

Prices in Hong Kong City are rising year by year, making life more and more stressful.

"Sister Ran, what's going on? You haven't given us any work yet. You came all the way to work in mainland China. I don't want to just get the basic salary." Some team members complained that although the basic salary was not low, no one wanted more. Earn some?

The start shouldn't be too perfect. The bank staff are busy and happy. Good business means their salaries will also rise. It's not worth the hardship they have to come from the port city.

At noon, inside the Futian Branch of Huaqiang Swire Bank, which was formed by the merger of eight facades, Ran Zi, the leader of the second business team, was walking in the corridor, looking around, no matter which department he belonged to in the office, They were all very busy and in full swing.

The room was quiet, and her six team members were sitting behind the office. Some were drinking tea and reading newspapers, and some were simply fast asleep. The idle atmosphere was in sharp contrast to other areas in the industry.

A team member echoed: "If it was just for this basic salary, I really wouldn't come here. I promised at the beginning that the SAR is an emerging market with a lot of business and great opportunities. I am interested in these. Now bring us here and leave." What’s the point of not caring here?”

The emergence of Huaqiang Swire Bank in Futian is like waiting for the rain after a long drought. It is not only a foreign-funded bank, but also has the support of large state-owned enterprises and joint ventures, which makes people feel reassured.

The staff lived in private houses rented by the bank, and they only had 28 poles and legs to travel. Some people disliked the sanitary conditions of street restaurants and had no choice but to cook their own meals. If they wanted to buy some firewood, rice, oil and salt, they had to go shopping for tickets from local residents. Otherwise, we can only bring it from the port city...

Due to multiple considerations, Li Jiankun did not attend the opening ribbon-cutting.

Driven by these two groups, there was a long queue in front of the bank counter on the opening day. For many people in Futian who have made a fortune as self-employed people, storing their money in a safe and reliable place has always been a headache in the past. Although Nanyang Bank is an option, it is located in Luohu and is not very convenient. convenient.

Eighty percent of the people who come to the Special Economic Zone branch are young bachelors who want to earn more money by working hard for a few years while they are at a carefree age.

However, there was a group of people who were not very happy and even got into quite a mood.

Huang Zhiyao, the team leader inside, is leading his team members, busy conducting risk assessments and credit approvals for various loan applications. Everyone is shouting and running.

The current living environment in the SAR is obviously not comparable to that in Hong Kong City.

After the latter had no choice but to spread his hands, he didn't stay any longer and returned to his group's office next door.

"What's the matter, Aziz? You haven't arranged any work for your team yet?" Huang Zhiyao found Ran Zi poking at the door and greeted him.

The savings exceeded 100 million in three days!

The loan amount exceeded RMB 10 million within five days!

"Azi, what does it say above?" A young man stood up and asked. He was about the same age as Ranzi. He looked about 24 or 25 years old. He was one or two years older than the other team members who had just left school. He was The deputy leader of the second business team is named Ye Xiujie.

Ye Xiujie and Ran Zi entered Huaqiang Swire Bank at the same time and worked together for some time. They thought they knew her fairly well. When I saw her leaving the office without saying a word just now, I guessed that she must have gone to find the leader. In fact, as a team leader, she is more Everyone is in a hurry.

"Says there are more important arrangements for us."

Ye Xiujie smiled bitterly, it was still the same rhetoric, but when asked about the specific situation, he didn't reveal even a single word, and he didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in the gourd. It seemed quite unreliable.

Snapped!

A male team member punched the desk: "If you do this again, I will apply to be transferred back to Hong Kong City!"

Ran Zi looked at him and consoled him: "Ah Sheng, don't be impulsive. The current economic environment is not good and it is not easy to find a job in a bank."

There is no iron rice bowl in Hong Kong like in the Mainland. Especially for people like them who have little work experience, the company will open as soon as possible.

The male team member called Ah Sheng gritted his teeth and did not say anything angry to her. Ah Sheng still respected the team leader who always cared about them.

Ran Zi deliberately livened up the atmosphere and said, "Let's find a place to get together after get off work. I heard that there are some interesting places in the Special Administrative Region, such as Sea World."

She didn't have any objections to the team members. In fact, she was very relieved to see everyone feeling frustrated and angry because they had no work to do. At least it proved that there were no idlers in their team. Although everyone was young, they were full of energy. The passion for struggle.

They are worthy of their title of "Best Team".

Yes, when they were doing mainland business training in Hong Kong City, the seven people in their group were the best. God knows how they became like this after coming here.

There was something Ran Zi couldn't tell her team members, so she could only choose to believe it. After several communications, she realized that maybe even the leaders of their branch didn't know what the so-called more important arrangements were. What is the layout of the head office?

Will there really be important business entrusted to their new team?

Will they be forgotten?

Two days later, when Ran Zi's mood became increasingly unsettled, she was summoned by the president.

The president of Futian Branch of Huaqiang Swire Bank, whose surname is Geng, is relatively young compared to his position. He is only thirty-six years old. He is an old employee of the original Swire Bank. After the original owner changed hands, there were only a few who stayed. One of the few small management.

As for the senior management of the former Swire Bank, all of them were dismissed without exception. Most of them were British nationals, or many of their family members were British.

"President, are you looking for me?" Ran Zi knocked on the half-open door.

President Geng nodded and invited her to come in and sit down. He had a very good sense of this female subordinate. She had a pretty face, gentle personality, and good abilities. The only thing she might lack was experience. However, it is said above that experience is not important for the business that their group is responsible for this time.

Before today, even Governor Geng knew nothing about the arrangements of the second group. He had just received the news and learned something shocking.

As long as they are former employees of Swire Bank, no one can forget the incident when the bank changed hands. And no one who has ever been a manager in the former Swire Bank can't help but remember that person's style. He is as mysterious as he seems to have never been seen since taking over Swire Bank. Unexpectedly, he has been staying in the Special Administrative Region for a long time.

The two sat opposite each other at the large red lacquered table.

"Azi, your group's work has been arranged."

"Great!" Ran Zi was pleasantly surprised and looked forward to it. Then she couldn't help but ask, "What kind of important arrangement is this?"

"Of course." President Geng restrained his smile and deliberately added the word "extremely" before the important arrangement. "You must treat it with all your energy!"

When he said this, there was a well-hidden envy in his eyes.

I don’t know how many people burn incense but can’t get the opportunity.

I traveled with that person and learned from his words and deeds. If you don't believe me, ask the billionaire circle in Hong Kong City to see how many people don't want to take advantage of such an opportunity? Even aside from being taught by him personally, just being able to spend a journey with him is a blessing in itself.

As long as Ran Zi and her team members can leave a good impression on that person, will they still worry about not having a good future?

This is also one of the reasons why Governor Geng is becoming more gentle towards Ran Zi. The total time he has been able to interact with that person in his life is probably not as long as Ran Zi and his companions' trip. Just like the people who could get close to the emperor in the past, even if they were eunuchs or palace maids, which first-rank official would dare not be a root?

Ran Zi nodded vigorously, looked excited, and looked like she was all ears.

Governor Geng had to obey the instructions from his superiors not to reveal the identity of that person. It is said that the identity of that person is still a mystery in the Special Administrative Region. He didn't know why this happened. He could only obey unconditionally. He carefully considered his words and said step by step: "You know Don’t you know that Huadian Company is our brother company?”

Ran Zi knew nothing. After hearing this, she suddenly realized. No wonder, on the opening day of the branch, the Special Economic Zone Huadian Company took the lead in handling business.

She had never heard of this company in Hong Kong City, but in the Special Administrative Region, it seemed to be quite large. She had just arrived in the Special Administrative Region for a few days and was unfamiliar with the place. She had not been out much.

President Geng continued: "There is a very important person in the group company. He is now at the Huadian Company in the special zone. Your team must prepare immediately and go on a business trip with him. He will guide you in your future business. This time it is Additional training is also practical teaching. It is a rare opportunity, so you must seize it."

Ran Zi was a little confused when she heard this, and asked subconsciously: "Huadian Company is an electronics company, right? They send people to train us?"

To be honest, the business is simply not right.

"He is very capable. Even in the banking industry, he is definitely more professional than you. I would like to warn you not to have any arrogance. Didn't I just say that he is a very important person in the group company." President Geng He had to give a stern warning. After all, Ran Zi's group was his subordinates. If anything went wrong, he felt that he would not be able to escape the blame.

"Oh... the group company you are talking about refers to our Huaqiang Swire Group?"

"No, it's higher than this. Our big boss owns many companies, such as Kunlan Investment Company and Kunzhu Group. You should know these two, and the Huadian Company I just mentioned. I mean all of these companies. He is an important figure at this level in the large conglomerate that the company is integrated into, so I don’t need to emphasize how high his status is, right?”

Ran Zi clicked her tongue and shook her head. The president's words were very clear. He was a super-high-level executive that they couldn't afford to offend. Even the CEO of their head office would have to treat him with respect.

Governor Geng examined her expression. After confirming that she understood the seriousness of the problem, he knocked his hand on the table and continued: "On this business trip, you will all obey his orders. You can do whatever he asks you to do. If you have reservations, there is no need to call back." Report and ask for instructions from the line. Is that clear?"

"Oh..." Ran Zi scratched her snow-white hair and asked, "He won't let us do anything unrelated to the banking industry, right?"

"Is there really such a thing that needs your team to handle?" President Geng asked.

Ran Zi smiled and said that was true. Suddenly something occurred to her and she asked again: "By the way, where are you going on a business trip?"

"Qiongdao." President Geng said, opening the main drawer in front of him, taking out a piece of red-lined letter paper, handing it over and saying, "Hurry up and get ready. Bring all the things here. I have already said hello to all departments. .”

Ran Zi looked at the letter paper, which was a list including business tools, but as she looked at it, her eyes opened wider and wider.

They even asked them to bring the official financial seal of the branch.

You know, the bank's official financial seal is not trivial and is usually stored in a safe.

They don't use official seals indiscriminately, which is an economic crime, but they also say that they can do whatever the person asks them to do. The group company trusts him too much, right? If he lets himself wait for others and follows the formal procedures to issue a deposit check regardless of the amount, theoretically it will be cashed.

Ran Zi finally confirmed with President Geng whether she would listen to him in everything. After receiving a positive answer, she held the list in her hand and walked out of the president's office in three steps. She was worried about the person from Huadian Company in the special zone whom she had never met before. Intense curiosity.

What is sacred?

With such a high level of management, why do you stay in a small company in the Mainland Special Administrative Region?

By the way, she forgot to ask whether she was a boy or a girl, and how old she was? Are they easy to get along with?

He wants to take his group to Qiongdao. What exactly is he going to do?

Ran Zi had too many doubts in her mind, but she could also see that Governor Geng probably didn't know anything about it. Finally, she thought: That's it, it's a good thing to finally come to work after a long day of leisure. In addition, it seems to be a good thing to be able to contact important people in the group company. Others may not have this opportunity.
