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

Chapter 418 Let him know who the king and queen are.
Of course, this agreement still needs to be approved by the county financial working group meeting, the Jiangsu Provincial Banking Regulatory Bureau office meeting, and the Baoshang Bank board of directors before it can have legal effect.

But anyone with a discerning eye knew that it was almost a done deal, so Fang Qingye's office became lively once again, with phone calls coming in non-stop.

This is crazy
Unable to bear staying any longer, Fang Qingye simply drove away to Shanghai, where the world became quiet once again.

Of course, I didn't come to Shanghai to escape the peace and quiet; I also had important business to attend to. I haven't been here since after the Spring Festival.

First up is Ele.me.

According to CEO Zhang Xuhao's report, the company's business is expanding rapidly, and funds are becoming increasingly tight. The 600 million yuan raised last year is expected to be spent by the end of June this year, so there is an urgent need to launch a fourth round of financing.

At the board meeting, Fang Qingye approved Wang Chenyang's financing plan, which aimed to raise up to 20 billion yuan. The financing targets were mainly large domestic investment groups, and CFO Wang Chenyang was in charge of completing preliminary preparations such as valuation reports.

TomorrowCube has already opened a high-frequency quantitative trading channel for US stocks, but the program is still in the trial operation stage and the investment is not very large, only about 3000 million US dollars.

Overall, Tomorrow Cube, which has been established for less than a year, is in the early exploratory stage, but Fang Qingye is not in a hurry.

It's better to proceed steadily and surely.

He spent most of his time fishing with Shi Guangrong and drinking tea and admiring flowers at his nursery.

Shi Guangrong's nursery is located in Zhaoxiang Town, QP District. It is much larger than Fang Qingye's Four Seasons Nursery. Unlike the seedlings in the Four Seasons Nursery, this nursery mainly produces flowers. Now it is springtime, and the nursery is full of beautiful blooming orchids, plum blossoms, peonies, crabapples, and roses.

Sitting amidst a sea of ​​flowers, drinking tea and admiring the blossoms is indeed a delightful experience.

The weather was nice today, sunny and bright, so the two of them sat in the small courtyard of the nursery, drinking tea and chatting.

"Is the matter with the bank basically settled?" Shi Guangrong asked.

"Most likely," Fang Qingye replied. "Your classmate Zhong He was a great help, and I'm thinking about how to thank him. What are his hobbies?"

“How about I invite him to Hangzhou for tea this weekend, and then go to the Fuchun Resort for a round of golf?” Fang Qingye asked.

"You can play golf?" Shi Guangrong was a little surprised.

"What? Do you think I'm a country bumpkin?" Fang Qingye retorted.

"Hehe. I didn't mean that." Shi Guangrong quickly covered up: "It's good, but I suggest we wait a while. Your matter hasn't been completely settled yet. Let's talk about it after it's over."

"That's what I was thinking too, Rong. Isn't your wife Jiang Yiling from Suzhou? Could you get me some good quality Biluochun tea? Preferably from the Dongting Mountain area, I'll give it to Zhong He," Fang Qingye added.

“No problem,” Shi Guangrong readily agreed.

As the two were chatting, Fang Qingye's phone rang. He took it out, frowned, but still answered it.

"President Zhao, hello."

"Reporting on work? I'm in Shanghai right now."

"When are you coming back? I'll be staying for a few more days. There's no rush. We'll talk about it when I get back."

"Okay, goodbye then."

Fang Qingye hung up the phone.

"Which bank manager reports to you? The one from a branch in a village or town?" Shi Guangrong asked curiously.

"No, it turns out he's the top bank manager." Shi Guangrong laughed after hearing this. "If you're going to be the top bank manager in the future, where are you going to put him? No wonder he's so eager to report to you; he wants to know how you're going to handle him, right?"

“I knew what he was thinking, so I deliberately ignored him,” Fang Qingye explained.

"It seems you still want to give him a chance, otherwise there wouldn't be the question of whether to leave him out or not. Just tell him to leave when the time comes."

“Yes, I want him to be the executive vice president, in charge of the bank’s daily operations.” Fang Qingye said, “You know me personally, I dislike sitting in an office and doing these specific tasks.”

"You like being a hands-off boss," Shi Guangrong said with a smile.

"Yes, so I need a capable subordinate to do my work."

Fang Qingye briefly recounted her past interactions with Zhao Wenjun, and concluded by saying, "He is experienced, ruthless, and somewhat arrogant, but you have to keep him in check from time to time and let him know who's in charge."

"Heh, you're not that old, but you've got quite the skills to manage people," Shi Guangrong said.

"There's no other way. If you want to enjoy this leisurely time, someone has to do the work for you."

Fang Qingye picked up her teacup, took a sip, and said leisurely.

Back in Nanxin, in her office, Zhao Wenjun put her phone in her pocket and silently lit a cigarette.

Standing next to him was his trusted confidant, Bai Haihong. He quickly asked, "What did Fang Qingye say on the phone?"

He said he's still in Shanghai and we'll talk about it when he gets back.

"When are you coming back?"

"He didn't say, but I guess he'll wait until the bank signs the formal agreement before he comes. He's hiding now, hiding from clients, bosses, and bank employees." Zhao Wenjun sneered.

Bai Haihong remained silent.

"Haihong, I don't think I can stay at the rural bank. You should do your job well. Don't think Fang Qingye is easy to fool just because he's young—I told you, he brought down two bank presidents in less than three years at Dongfang Bank and forced me to leave for Shanghai."

Zhao Wenjun had never told him about these things before. He only heard about them when he heard that Fang Qingye was going to take over the village bank. Zhao Wenjun told him about them during a casual chat, which made Bai Haihong tremble with fear.

Damn it, he usually seems like a gentle and harmless person, but I never expected him to be so ruthless.

Seeing the fear on Bai Haihong's face, he comforted her, "Don't be too scared. As long as you don't try to fool him, he treats his subordinates quite well. Your position as the head of the credit department is very important and also very sensitive. Many people are watching you. You need to report to him more often and follow his lead so you won't get into trouble."

"I know." Bai Haihong quickly nodded. "However, President Zhao, it's probably not as bad as you think. Doesn't our bank still need a vice president? Even if he becomes the president, you are fully qualified to be the vice president, aren't you?"

Zhao Wenjun didn't say anything more, just silently smoked.

In fact, he also coveted this position.

But then I thought back to when I was the deputy branch manager of Dongfangxing Nanxin branch, he was just a greenhorn!

When I went to Shanghai to be the branch manager of the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, I even wanted him to be my deputy and serve as the deputy branch manager!
Now everything has been turned upside down.

Human destiny.
On March 20, 2012, the spring equinox, Fang Qingye returned to Nanxin a day early to attend the signing ceremony for the restructuring of Nanxin Rural Bank the following day.
