Chapter 422 Bank Target
When Louis heard that Long Jianhua invited him to have a meal, he felt mixed feelings.
The reason why Caiqi Xiangdao became like this is entirely his "credit".
But now he can no longer care about those things. He has submitted his resignation, and the headquarters has agreed to select personnel to replace him.
Thinking of this scene, he was still a little sad.
He came to Xiangdao with the name of an international giant. After several years of hard work, the total profit finally made it into the top five, but Long Jianhua put it on and fell out of at least the top 30 in a row.
But when you think about it carefully, who can you blame?
Some naive people, impure economic people, and some powerful people, are their random decisions that lead to all this, and they should bear the responsibility for failure.
As a result, after his resignation was submitted, those people had no intention of retaining them; they just asked him to stay at his post until the end of November, and wait for someone to take over, and then he returned to the United States to settle the shares he held.
When he came to the agreed private room, he saw Long Jianhua and Yuwen Xing, and Liu Shengnan sat there. He learned the etiquette of China and clasped his fists, "I have met all the bosses."
Long Jianhua stood up and walked forward, holding his hand and laughed, "Mr. Louis, we are not acquaintances. Welcome to join Xiangdao Bank."
Yuwen Xing shook his hand, "I hope Mr. Louis can open Xiangdao Bank all over the world, you will become the most famous financier in the world, and we will become the richest people in the world together."
Liu Shengnan held his hand and said, "Mr. Louis, I hope Xiangdao Bank can become the world's largest bank under your leadership."
After sitting down, Louis rubbed his face, "Everyone, I haven't really left the job yet, and it's still far from what you said. Now I'll give me this long-term indicator, so why don't I be afraid of scaring me to escape in the last minute?"
Long Jianhua shook his head, "You won't."
Louis turned his head and looked at him and asked, "Mr. Long, why do you think so?"
Long Jianhua smiled, "Although we only had a direct conversation once, it was that time that left a deep impression on me."
"In the past, I only knew that you were a pure economic person, with a unique perspective and a tenacious will; otherwise, Xiangdao Caiqi would not have achieved such great success in just a few years."
"When I contacted that, I also found that you can firmly implement the spirit of your superiors, be able to communicate with others, and endure humiliation. Those with such a personality are all people who can achieve great things."
"The platform that Caiqi can provide you is too small and not enough for you to display; what you need is a stage like Xiangdao Bank that can display it as much as possible."
Louis rubbed his face and did not respond immediately.
After Yuwen Xing looked for him, he calmed down and reflected on how he could get into Long Jianhua's eyes. The two of them had direct conflicts.
After thinking about it for a day, he admired Long Jianhua's ability to deal with things and see problems.
It is indeed an act between companies, not a personal grudge.
In his heart, he really wanted to have the opportunity to prove himself, so he quickly agreed to Yuwen Xing's invitation. He needed such a platform.
Compared with the current Caiqi, there are not many 30 billion US dollars; but with Long Jianhua and the prosperous Chongshi Group, who can predict the future?
After the food was served, he asked in confusion, "Mr. Long, you don't have a license now and the principal is not in place. Why do you come to me as the president first? This does not meet the procedures for doing things."
Long Jianhua laughed, "The principal problem is the easiest to solve, so I won't worry. As for finding you as the president first, Yu Sheng should explain it to you... We will not participate too much in the future in the operation of Xiangdao Bank."
"That is to say, you will give you enough power and will not cause too much constraints; so whether you want to buy one or three licenses, it is up to you to decide."
"Buy three licenses, there are more ready-made outlets that can be used; buy one license, there are more outlets that need to be built. Of course, buying three licenses will also cost much higher, which requires you to balance, and you are an expert in this regard."
"Mr. Louis, I have a goal: to obtain the right to issue money within three years."
Louis was stunned for a moment, then snapped his fingers, "I agree!"
Then he asked a new question, "I will not be able to take office in January 1981. Maybe those three banks have gone bankrupt, but they may also be reborn. There will be great variables in the middle. I think you should negotiate first and learn about their outlet distribution."
This is the truth, and some work needs to be carried out in advance.
The reason why the three of them didn't do it was that they were not busy, except that they had no professional people.
However, Mr. Hong has agreed to invest and can discuss it with him; he can draw some people over, and Chongshi Group also draws some people out.
Of course, the main force is to hire third-party institutions to conduct review.
He waved his hand, "This is no problem. Yusheng talked to them, and went to the group to find a few people, a third-party audit, and I asked Mr. Hong to send a few people to participate."
Yuwen Xing nodded, "I'll do this."
Louis asked the second question, "Mr. Long, since I have let me take charge of Xiangdao Bank, I want to make it a bank that integrates policy, business, and investment."
Long Jianhua nodded, "I support it."
He added, "We don't have talents in this field at the moment, so you need to find them yourself."
In his heart, it's more than just support? It's just what he means.
Suddenly, he remembered a person - Shimada Oshi. He originally wanted to use him as the director of the Institute of Economics, so why didn't he send him to Kawashima Bank?
I immediately added, "I found someone in the island of Japan who is very sensitive to economic trends. Then I will work with you and cooperate with you."
Louis stared at him for two or three seconds before nodding, "Welcome."
He has already regarded himself as a member of Xiangdao Bank and knows that he cannot stop the people sent by Long Jianhua; he wants to tell him through this behavior that you should not regret it.
Long Jianhua turned a blind eye to his emotions.
Putting Shimada here is more conducive to hiding behind the scenes.
When discussing whether to buy gold, Long Jianhua learned that the preparation of gold was to prevent others from freezing foreign exchange, he did not agree to purchase, but agreed to speculation and then purchase after it fell to a certain level.
Looking at Louis' puzzled expression, Long Jianhua smiled, "This idea was proposed by Mr. Shimada. He believes that the world will enter an unprecedented prosperous period and the price of gold will fall all the way."
Shimada's prediction was indeed so consistent with the historical development trajectory.
Long Jianhua knows the specific trajectory: 80 years was the first year of this wave of gold price decline, from $850 per ounce to $251 in 1999; after 1999, gold prices bottomed out and rebounded, and by 2015, it had exceeded $1,000 per ounce.
This was also what he recalled on a plane to the United States.
He was upset for a while.
If there weren't too many business things at that time, he might have thought of this.
That fluctuation was simply earth-shaking. The amount of US dollars that can be earned is many times stronger than the ones that are fried to heat oil, and it is not even the same order of magnitude.
So from that time on, he decided to spend at least three days a month to empty himself and see what opportunities to make money.
Louis's eyes were hot, "Mr. Long, did Mr. Shimada really predict this?"
Long Jianhua nodded, "Yes, I agree with his point of view. I originally wanted to ask him to serve as the director of the Institute of Economics, but I think it would be more appropriate to place it in Xiangdao Bank."
This is the result of the plan not changing quickly and the overall planning is not carried out.
Louis rubbed his hands quickly, "Mr. Long, can you invite him to Xiangdao? Let's discuss the relevant issues?"
He laughed and said, "It's not possible yet. He is training successors and looking for relevant personnel. It will take mid-December to complete the journey at the earliest."
Louis rubbed his face, "I can't wait."
