The outbreak point of the deepening contradiction between Shen Bi and Bao Yugang was the meeting held by global shipping recently on the poor management and bankruptcy of a shipping company, its major customer.
As an important investor in global shipping, Shen Bi, the head of Huifeng bank, asked Bao Yugang to endorse the reliability of the giant oil tanker lease signed by global shipping and a shipping company.
You know, this meeting aimed at explaining the situation and reassuring people was attended by a large number of people, including not only Bao Yugang's friends, but also his competitors.
But Shen Bi's style not only made Bao Yugang lose face, but also made the outside world think that Huifeng bank no longer supports global shipping, which makes the bad rumors around global shipping more and more difficult to control.
At that time, Bao Yugang, who was helpless, had to explain it according to Shen Bi's meaning, but he still failed to satisfy Shen Bi.
In fact, Bao Yugang just needs a buffer time to wait for the Bank Consortium behind a shipping company to come to Xiangjiang to lay the groundwork for a shipping company.
Gao Xian pointed out: "an economic chaebol has a long history. In addition, import is very important at any time, so a shipping company will not be left alone."
Shen Bi didn't say how much he heard, but nodded, "I just want to exchange my views on the prospects of the global shipping industry with Sir Gao face to face."
Then, Shen Bi seemed to turn casually and asked, "what does Sir Gao think of Wei Li, general manager of Hutchison?"
"That's the person you specially selected at the beginning. Why do you suddenly ask my opinion now?" Gao Xian thought secretly, and then replied: "Wei Li's ability is obvious to all. Heji not only got out of the original financial difficulties, but also developed and expanded, and the debt was repaid on schedule."
Shen Bi flashed some annoyance on his face, waved his hand and said, "I'm open to Sir Gao's views. As for the differences between us because of Heji, it's a thing of the past, so there's no need to keep it in mind."
Seeing that Shen BIDU said this, Gao Xian further said: "while Wei Li's ability is outstanding, he has gradually revealed his ambition and began to pursue harmony and the independence of the management. In particular, he has made a lot of actions by taking advantage of the trend of enterprise merger and reorganization in Xiangjiang capital market in recent years, which has diluted the equity of our two families to a certain extent."
"On the other hand, sir Qi dezun, chairman of Hutchison, is old, has poor energy, and has health problems. He can no longer effectively check and balance Wei Li. Even he secretly revealed his retirement plan to me."
Speaking of this, Gao Xian smiled, "I don't intend to involve too much energy in Wei Li or even Heji. Since Sir Qi dezun has lost control, I'll choose an appropriate opportunity to quit Heji. Anyway, from the perspective of capital operation, I don't suffer."
Shen Bi's face showed a resentful color, "Sir Gao is free and easy."
Gao Xian picked up the crystal cup and took a big sip of red wine to hide the gloating look in his eyes. "Wei Li is your dog, but he doesn't obey. Do you want to rely on others to help discipline?"
Of course, Gaoxian is not without regret for Heji. Qi dezun is just over 60 years old, but he doesn't want his health to go from bad to worse. No matter what his ambitions and Gao Xian's strategies, he can only give up.
In business, we must know the trade-offs. Since Qi dezun's card has lost its effectiveness, Gao Xian does not intend to be distracted by Heji. Anyway, he has already got what he wants, such as the container terminal.
Realizing that Gao Xian is too lazy to wade in the muddy water, Shen Bi is naturally disappointed, but Gao Xian has drunk the precious red wine into his stomach and can't let him spit it out again.
……
After confirming that Shen Bi has many troubles at present, Gao Xian feels inexplicably happy. It seems that he can really do it this year.
After returning to her own territory, Ma Qiwen told Gao Xian about the situation at Xiangjiang University, "brother Xian, your master's degree has passed. If you like, you can attend the graduation ceremony like ordinary students and leave a good memory after a period of time."
Gao Xian sighed, "it's really not easy to be an ordinary student. I procrastinated and read more for a lot of time. I stubbornly learned from your senior and became your younger brother."
Ma Qiwen was amused to laugh for a long time. Finally, she forbeared and said, "brother Xian, your degree is real! I think those papers can be collected, published and distributed, and will be welcomed by Xiangjiang's financial circles."
Gao Xian lazily rejected, "when I'm over 40, I'll consider writing books and biographies. It's too early now."
Ma Qiwen took out some photos and said, "brother Xian, this is the model drawing of the library donated to Xiangjiang University. You can see the effect. If you are not satisfied, you can let the designer modify it."
Gao Xian listened to Ma Qiwen's detailed explanation while carefully looking at the model in the photo.
Suddenly, Miss Ma retched twice, then hurriedly covered her mouth and went to the bathroom.
Gao Xian was an old hand. Seeing this, he quickly got up and followed him. He asked with concern, "Qiwen, do you have it?"
Ma Qiwen blushed and nodded, "according to the days, it should be."
Gao Xianxi said, "then I'm waiting for you to give me a lovely daughter."
Ma Qiwen glanced at Gao Xian, "I can't guarantee that it's your responsibility according to the results of scientific research."
"Qiwen has a point." this time it's Gao Xian's turn to be amused. "In this way, I'll take you back to Vancouver to have a baby. It's clean there. Your eldest brother Yongda and her girlfriend can take care of you."
Ma's brothers and sisters grew up in Vancouver, where they went to middle school and university. They are in this familiar environment waiting for childbirth. There are many natural benefits. Ma Qiwen likes this arrangement very much.
……
When Gao Xian was about to leave, he Hongshen came to him in a hurry, "Sir Gao, I have received the latest news that gambling is likely to be banned in Iran."
For this situation, Gao Xian is not surprised. What should come will come sooner or later.
Any change is not in place in one step. It needs a process from quantitative change to qualitative change. The demonstrations against King Pahlavi's rule in Iran began in October last year, and the situation escalated to casualties in January this year.
In this case, in order to make a compromise gesture, what's strange about Tehran's slightly revised over westernized policies, such as banning gambling?
Gao Xian said calmly, "I just ask you, have you recovered the 50 million dollar capital invested in the racetrack?"
He Hongshen was stunned and murmured, "thanks to your investment strategy, the capital has certainly been recovered, but business can't be calculated like this. I've spent a lot of time on it and expect long-term benefits..."
"I advise you to be open. If the weather in Tehran really changes, no one can help." Gao Xian patted he Hongshen on the arm. "I'm in a hurry to go out and deal with some things in Canada and the United States. It's estimated that it will take half a month. I'll definitely come back in May and talk about it in detail at that time."
He Hongshen didn't have the airs of a gambling king in front of Gao Xian. He said helplessly in the back, "when you return to Xiangjiang, the first time is to inform me."
