I'm in the county town, and you say I'm a big shot?

Chapter 416, Section 415: "If you can't handle it, who can?"

"This meeting has been postponed again and again, it's been delayed several times already, how long will it be delayed?!"

"That's right, our credit department's phones have been ringing off the hook with calls from businesses! They should at least give us an answer about whether they're going to grant the loans or not."

People started complaining, and they got more and more agitated as they talked.

"At this rate, what's the point of continuing? We might as well just close the bank down!"

"I'm going to find him!" A man, unable to sit still, said and walked outside. He was Guo Yanfei, the head of the risk control department.

"Come back!" Zhao Wenjun, who had been silent until now, shouted. Guo Yanfei immediately stopped and turned to look at him.

Zhao Wenjun enjoys high prestige among the management of rural banks.

"Meeting adjourned!" Zhao Wenjun said again, picked up his notebook, and left the meeting room with a gloomy face. The others saw this and left in murmurs.

Zhao Wenjun returned to her office on the third floor, lit a cigarette, and had just taken a puff when the office door was knocked open. A middle-aged man, who looked to be in his early forties, entered. He was Bai Haihong, the head of the credit department.

Bai Haihong was originally a senior employee in the credit department of the county credit union. He had a personal relationship with Zhao Wenjun and was recruited by him to serve as the head of the credit department. He was considered one of Zhao Wenjun's confidants.

When Bai Haihong came in, Zhao Wenjun tossed him a cigarette, and the two sat on the sofa and started chatting.

“President Zhao, this can’t go on. We can’t even conduct normal banking business. I think we’ll have to close down before the restructuring happens!” Bai Haihong said.

"Yes, I still have a ton of documents waiting for his signature and approval. Sigh." Zhao Wenjun sighed deeply.

"We can't just wait like this, we have to take action!"

"You mean to talk to the county leaders and expedite the bank restructuring?" Zhao Wenjun immediately understood Bai Haihong's meaning.

"Yes! We should report the difficulties and problems our bank is currently facing to the county leaders and strongly urge the county to expedite the restructuring! We can submit a joint petition!"

Zhao Wenjun shook his head: "A joint petition is just putting pressure on the county leaders. We shouldn't take that step unless absolutely necessary. Forget it, I'll go and report to County Chief Miao by myself; he's in charge of finance." With that, he stubbed out his cigarette.

"Okay, we'll wait for your news."

Fang Qingye was watching the workers repot the orchids outside the greenhouse; naturally, he didn't need to do these tasks himself.

I've had some free time lately.

After acquiring the two plots of land, Huacheng Company is currently carrying out preliminary planning work. The main tasks are still the sales of the second phase of the Lakeside Elegance project and the construction of the main building. In particular, the sales department staff are doing their best to promote the project, and Luo Yan is personally in charge of this matter.

Yuxiang Natural Gas Company is competing for the natural gas supply project in the neighboring Wuyang County. Qian Weimin has a personal relationship with the county head of Wuyang County. As the major shareholder and chairman of Yuxiang Natural Gas Company, he is also very concerned about this matter.

If we can secure this project, Yuxiang Natural Gas will leap to become the second largest natural gas company in Jinghai area, second only to Zhongtong Gas Company in the city, and will be able to continue to expand its business to neighboring counties!
This is a huge piece of fatty meat!
The companies in Shanghai don't need to worry too much; their businesses are developing steadily.

Fang Qingye liked this kind of situation the most, living a leisurely life.

How about we go fishing tomorrow?
Fang Qingye was looking at the orchids, pondering something, when her phone rang. She saw it was Miao Hongbin calling, so she walked to the side and answered it casually.

"Hello, County Chief Miao."

"Qingye, what are your thoughts after reading the document on the restructuring of the rural bank that your second uncle showed you?"

"To be honest, I was somewhat interested at first," Fang Qingye said. "But after obtaining some information about rural banks from other channels, I felt that there were too many serious problems involved, and I was afraid I couldn't handle it."

"If you can't handle it, who can?" Miao Hongbin laughed on the other end of the phone. "How about we come over to my place tomorrow morning to talk in person? We can discuss any issues or ideas face to face. Secretary Hu would like to hear them too."

"Since both of you leaders invited me, how could I presume? Okay, what time?" "I'll come as soon as I get to work in the morning. Secretary Hu has a lot of things to do."

"Okay, I'll be there on time." Fang Qingye put her phone back in her pocket and smiled.

The next day, Fang Qingye got up, ate breakfast, drove straight to the county government compound, and appeared at Miao Hongbin's office door at eight o'clock sharp.

"Let's go straight to Secretary Hu's office," Miao Hongbin said, picking up his briefcase and walking out.

The county party committee and government were both in one big compound. Secretary Hu was in another office building. Fang Qingye followed him up to the second floor and saw several people standing at Secretary Hu's door.

These are all leaders from various departments and townships in the county, who are here to report to the Party Secretary. They all arrived early so they could report as soon as possible.

Of course, you still have to queue.

Miao Hongbin didn't need to queue to enter. He greeted everyone with a smile, and some people recognized Fang Qingye who was following behind him. So someone joked, "President Fang, it seems you're about to do something big again."

"Secretary Liu, no matter how big the things I do are, they're not as big as yours," Fang Qingye said with a smile.

They were talking and laughing in hushed tones when the door opened and a man came out. The bureau chief who was originally at the front of the line stepped aside, and Miao Hongbin led Fang Qingye inside.

"President Fang, please sit down," Secretary Hu greeted. "Look at all the people standing at my door, so let's get straight to the point. You've seen the documents for the restructuring of the rural bank, and both County Head Miao and I think you're the best candidate to take over the bank. I just want to hear your thoughts in person."

At this point, Fang Qingye naturally didn't hold back. He said, "Thank you for the trust that Secretary Hu, County Head Miao, and other county leaders have placed in me. I am personally willing to take over the rural bank. This is just my opinion."

As she spoke, Fang Qingye took out two documents from her briefcase and handed them to the two leaders respectively.

Secretary Hu took it and looked at it.

Ah.
Isn't this the negotiating condition?

Several large pages, densely packed.

He glanced through it briefly before saying, "How about this, Mr. Fang? Let's study this material carefully first, and then we can discuss it at another time, okay?"

“Okay.” Fang Qingye stood up.

Secretary Hu was busy, so he naturally wouldn't chat idly and quickly left the room.

Miao Hongbin didn't immediately follow them out. He looked at the materials in his hand and smiled:
"This clause allows the county government to invest some funds to acquire equity? Hmm, this method is feasible. On the one hand, in addition to tax revenue, we can also directly obtain bank profits. More importantly, it facilitates supervision! We will not allow the major shareholder to misappropriate bank funds again!"

"Oh dear. This Fang Qingye wants to become a director of Baoshang Bank? What does he want to do?" Secretary Hu couldn't help but ask when he saw one of the comments.

"You wouldn't be thinking of getting your hands on Baoshang Bank, would you?" Miao Hongbin asked rhetorically.

"That kid has some nerve!"

The two watched and chatted, and soon an hour had passed.

"Oh dear, there are still so many people waiting outside." Hu Huaiwen suddenly remembered something: "Let's not talk anymore, Lao Miao, distribute this material to the members of the county's financial work leading group, let everyone take a look, and we'll find some time in the next day or two to hold a meeting to discuss it."

"Okay, I'll do it right away!"

"Please keep the contents confidential."
