Reborn, back to a small county town to become a wealthy family

Chapter 697 Deliberately

When Luo Yang proposed setting up a branch in Hong Kong, Dong Xuan's first thought was about overseas fund handling channels.

"What, is it difficult for domestic banks to set up branches in Hong Kong?"

Seeing that Dong Xuan didn't speak immediately, but instead looked thoughtful, Luo Yang asked her a question out of curiosity.

He was genuinely worried about having overly high requirements.

"It's not difficult at all; it's just a few basic requirements."

After regaining her composure, Dong Xuan explained, "First, you need to register. The registration requirements include the company type, company name, shareholders and directors, company secretary, and registered address."

"This is simple."

"Another requirement is capital. According to the regulations of the Hong Kong Monetary Authority, the minimum registered capital requirement for starting a bank is HK$1 million."

Dong Xuan continued, "Actually, the trouble isn't with these basic requirements, but with the stricter regulatory requirements."

She then explained some of the HK Monetary Authority's requirements for bank supervision.

“Hong Kong’s financial system is subject to strict regulation. To open a bank, you need to meet a series of regulatory requirements to ensure the bank’s compliance and stability.”

"Starting a bank requires establishing an appropriate corporate governance structure, including a board of directors, a risk management committee, and an internal audit department, to ensure that the bank's decisions and operations comply with regulatory requirements."

"At the same time, banks need to establish compliance and risk management systems, including anti-money laundering and counter-terrorist financing measures, customer due diligence, internal controls, and risk assessments, to ensure that their operations comply with laws, regulations, and regulatory requirements."

After talking for a long time, Dong Xuan felt thirsty, so she picked up her glass and took a sip of champagne.

"To be honest, you might as well set up an office in Hong Kong first, or even open a branch there."

Dong Xuan paused for a moment and said, "Maintaining a branch that meets the requirements of the Hong Kong Monetary Authority without much business requires at least tens of millions of dollars every year, which is a bit of a waste."

"We'll talk about that later."

Luo Yang responded with a single sentence and turned to look at Wen Wan: "We'll set up a preparatory group later, under the Board Office, with Chu Jing as the deputy head, to fully cooperate with Dong Xing's work."

"Okay, boss."

Wen Wan knew she didn't know anything about finance, so she wasn't disappointed that she couldn't participate.

She nodded and replied, "I'll explain everything to Chu Jing tomorrow."

"I'm going back to my hometown this weekend and I'll talk to someone about this."

After instructing Wen Wan, Luo Yang turned to Dong Xuan and said, "Try to probe the city's opinion during this trip back. If there is further contact, you will be needed to step in. I will have the preparatory team fully cooperate with you."

"No problem, when it's my turn to contribute, I will definitely do my job well."

The fact that the conversation has progressed to this point means that Luo Yang is genuinely planning to acquire a bank, and that she will most likely be the future leader. Therefore, Dong Xuan is certainly very enthusiastic about this matter.

"Can we begin the company restructuring later this month?"

Luo Yang suddenly remembered another important matter: they were currently recruiting, and once the right people were in place, they planned to make a comprehensive adjustment to the company's entire structure. At that time, they would need to hear the opinions of those people on how to arrange the acquired banks.

"HR guarantees that the professional staff will be on duty by next week at the latest."

Wen Wan reported, "Our group has many subsidiaries, and the boss also has a large business in Yang City. The preliminary research alone will take a week. But if we hurry up, we should be able to officially start work by the end of this month."

"Then let's hurry."

At this point, Luo Yang couldn't help but sigh.

He looked at Dong Xuan and said, "See? Starting next week, there's the second quarter financial report meeting, the board meeting, handling the company's daily affairs, and at the same time, we have to keep an eye on the US crude oil futures market and arrange such a major event as the restructuring of the entire group. I'm not acting like a boss at all; I'm more like a donkey on a leash."

"But the way you look right now is just like a big boss."

Dong Xuan gestured to Wen Wan behind Luo Yang with her eyes, and then made her presence known with a smile.

Late at night, in a large apartment, two beautiful women dressed in sexy pajamas.
How could an ordinary worker possibly receive such treatment?

"Is this what you call enjoying yourself?"

Luo Yang curled his lip and said, "Isn't it basic treatment for rich people to be surrounded by beautiful women of all shapes and sizes?"

"Now that you mention it, I've noticed something peculiar."

Dong Xuan's perspective was always peculiar; "President Luo doesn't usually participate in many activities, and his social engagements are mostly related to company business, not to mention any bad habits like gambling. Even his attitude towards women is indifferent. I really don't know what your real hobbies are?"

"My hobbies are very simple."

Luo Yang blurted out, "To make money!"

When he answered that question, he met Dong Xuan's ambiguous smile.

"Okay, I admit it, I make money so I can have more beautiful women!"

Luo Yang responded with a smile, then reached back and hooked his arm around Wen Wan's neck, tilting his head to kiss her glistening lips.

Wenwan's body stiffened for a moment, but quickly softened.

She pressed herself against Luo Yang's broad back, wrapped her arms around his neck, and responded passionately, ignoring Dong Xuan who was right next to her.

When their lips parted, they realized how close Dong Xuan had been.

They were almost face-to-face with Luo Yang.

"To be drunk and recline on a beauty's lap, and awaken to wield power over the world?"

Dong Xuan asked with a sweet, fragrant breath, "Is this the kind of pursuit Mr. Luo has?"

"What do you think?"

That's my guess.

Dong Xuan smiled charmingly: "I just don't know if President Luo is up to the task."

Having taken this far, if Luo Yang doesn't make any move, he wouldn't be a man.

He suddenly stood up from the sofa, reached out and grabbed Dong Xuan's thighs, picked her up in a princess carry, and strode towards the master bedroom.

Wen Wan froze on the sofa.

She didn't expect her boss to carry Dong Xuan to the room first.

As the figure disappeared from her sight, her mind went completely blank.

After a long while, a familiar voice came to my ears.

Wen Wan woke up with a start and subconsciously bit her lip.

A moment later, she clenched her fist, stood up forcefully, and quickly walked towards the master bedroom.
The next day, Luo Yang got up and washed up before eight o'clock.

If it were Chu Weiwei or Cong Shanshan, they definitely wouldn't wake up until 10 o'clock.

He never expected this last night.

Unexpectedly, Dong Xuan, who is supposed to be at the age of 120 km/h, was not only a fledgling but also very inexperienced.

The other chick, Wenwan, wasn't much better off.

Luo Yang, who transformed into a pioneering ox, took a cold shower before going to bed!

As a result, he got up early and exercised on the treadmill at the gym for half an hour.

Dong Xuan and Wen Wan, on the other hand, didn't get up until almost 8:30. When they gathered at the dining table, both of them lowered their heads, their faces flushed, and they didn't dare to meet Luo Yang's eyes.

"I'll take you to the company first; I won't be going there this morning."

Since there are no specific plans for this week, it doesn't matter whether Luo Yang goes to the company or not.

Moreover, he was going to Songjiang, where Jin Chenyang, the boss of Jinyang Real Estate, would be visiting Fu Bin today to discuss the land for the second phase of the Shuangfeng Town Industrial Pilot Park.

"What a ruthless capitalist!"

After getting through the initial awkward phase, Dong Xuan regained her composure, rolled her eyes at Luo Yang, and said, "Didn't you see that Director Wen is limping? Can't you give her a day off?"

She herself didn't realize that her tone of voice when speaking to Luo Yang carried a hint of casualness and intimacy.

"Ask her if she wants it."

Luo Yang was quite familiar with Wen Wan's personality: "Wen Wan is now the director of the board secretary committee and also serves as the director of the board office. Her work is no longer just serving me. There are a lot of things in the company waiting for her to coordinate and handle. Even if you ask her to rest, she won't be willing."

"Eh?"

Dong Xuan looked at Wen Wan with surprise; "Director Wen still holds a position on the board of directors? Is she going to be promoted to board secretary and become a senior executive of the company next?"

"what?"

Luo Yang was clearly taken aback.

"The group will be undergoing a restructuring before the end of the month, and my position may change in August or September."

Wen Wan replied to Dong Xuan before Luo Yang could.

Judging from Luo Yang's expression just now, it's clear that Luo Yang had no idea that the position of board secretary actually belongs to the senior management level, ranking second only to the chairman in the board of directors.

On the contrary, Wen Wan always thought that the position of Director of the Board Secretariat Committee was a transitional one, but she only found out after Yu Haiping stepped down that Luo Yang had never thought of or knew about such a position.

She had originally intended to mention it briefly, but Luo Yang happened to bring up the company's restructuring, so Wen Wan didn't bring it up again.

Anyway, the professionals will handle the adjustments, so there's no need to offend the boss.

Now that Dong Xuan brought it up, Luo Yang almost gave himself away.

Wenwan answered quickly to cover for her boss.

Considering the context, Luo Yang roughly understood.

He sipped his milk, glanced at Wen Wan, and then said to Dong Xuan, "Her ambitions are greater than you imagine. Her future career plan is to move to the branch offices and become a capable female CEO."

"Just like President An?"

Before joining Luo Shengtang, An Ying served as Luo Yang's assistant and director of the board office.

According to what Luo Yang just said, Wen Wan is following this career path.

"Yes, just like An Ying."

"But."

Dong Xuan put down her chopsticks and counted on her fingers, saying, "Banks and fund companies involve financial expertise, so Director Wen is definitely not suitable. Luo Shengtang already has An Ying, so I doubt Director Wen would want to be a deputy. Qiao Zhiyuan holds shares in Jiang Xiaobai. Could it be Edifier Technology Company? Or that half-dead Guobao Film and Television?"

She didn't mention Kunpeng Technology at all, because she knew it was impossible.

All that's left are bike-sharing and film and television business.

Unless Luo Yang ventures into a new industry in the next few years and entrusts it to Wen Wan in its initial stages.
"The shared bike project will be handed over to Xiao Wei, and the film and entertainment industry has already been arranged for Song Wan to handle."

Now that Dong Xuan is considered one of our own, we don't hide certain internal company matters from her.

Luo Yang continued, "She has other plans. These are all industries in their initial stages. As for what she will be specifically responsible for, that's up to her to decide."

Even Wen Wan had never heard of such a thing before.

She stopped eating her porridge immediately, holding the bowl still, afraid of missing even a single word Luo Yang said.

"Oh, it seems you underestimated my man."

Dong Xuan smiled and said, "I'm not in charge of the lending business anymore, so I didn't even know that President Luo had started a new company."

Wen Wan knew.

A new video website called C-site has been launched in Shanghai. It's not very big yet, with only forty or fifty employees.

Meanwhile, in Guangzhou, a company recently acquired an e-commerce platform and has since renamed itself Pinduoduo. It's already quite large, and reportedly plans to achieve 20 billion yuan in sales in the second half of the year.
Wen Wan was also pondering in her heart. Judging from Luo Yang's words, was she going to Station C?
Such a small company, if the boss gives an order...
"From the second half of this year to the end of next year, the group will successively enter two or three new industries, and the investment scale is not small."

As Luo Yang spoke, he put down his cup, picked up a damp towel to wipe his hands, and then continued, "One is the new energy vehicle industry that I've been thinking about getting into for two years, and the other is something I only recently thought of, and I'm still debating whether or not to do it."

He said this not to tell Dong Xuan that he wanted to enter the new energy vehicle manufacturing industry.

Rather, he was still a bit hesitant about making mobile phones and wanted to talk to Dong Xuan about it to see if she would have any opinions.

What industry?

Dong Xuan, of course, understood Luo Yang's meaning and immediately asked, "It's actually making you conflicted?"

"Smartphones."

Luo Yang pointed at the iPhone on the dining table: "I plan to make this thing, but I don't know if it's too late to get involved now."

As soon as the idea of ​​making smartphones was mentioned, Dong Xuan and Wen Wan's eyes immediately turned to Luo Yang's face.

"Making mobile phones?"

Dong Xuan was the first to break the silence. She looked at Luo Yang with a serious expression and said, "This thing is a high-tech industry. You have no background at all. Having a lot of money won't help!"

Did I know anything about finance before?

Luo Yang shrugged: "Aren't we still considering acquiring the bank?"

"Dong Xing, the boss's idea is to first acquire a mobile phone company that is not doing well or is on the verge of bankruptcy, and then build our own smartphone brand on that basis."

Wen Wan then spoke up: "Leave professional matters to professionals. What the boss needs to consider is whether entering the smartphone manufacturing industry at this time will allow us to capitalize on this opportunity."

Although the two had a camaraderie last night, neither can easily give up when it comes to their own interests.

For Wen Wan, if Luo Yang really gets involved in the mobile phone manufacturing industry...
She would be more than willing.

"I'm not a professional in this field, so I can't offer any advice right now."

Dong Xuan sensed something was off as soon as Wen Wan spoke.

With her high EQ, she quickly changed her tune, saying, "Our industry should have materials like the smartphone industry development assessment report. I'll get a copy later, which can also provide some reference."

After he finished speaking, he specifically looked at his wristwatch.

"Oh dear, it's getting late, I have to go to the bank."

As she spoke, Dong Xuan stood up and greeted Luo Yang, saying, "Just call me if you need anything."

"Okay, send the information directly to Wen Wan later."

Luo Yang casually gave a word of advice, then looked at Wen Wan and said, "Give it to me after you've tidied it up."

He did it on purpose.
