Chapter 526: Bankers Have No Borders

readx; In March, Shanghai is still the beginning of spring, and in the bustling and lively streets, the newspaper boy wearing thin old clothes barefoot and shivering in the cold spring breeze seems to have exhausted his strength and shouts loudly: "Sell newspapers!" Sell newspapers! The Russian emperor was captured and imprisoned by the revolutionaries! ”

In the midst of the shouting, the newspaper in his hand was also rapidly decreasing, as the newspaper was sold one after another, his somewhat blue face also appeared a smile, this boy who was only eleven or twelve years old at most continued to wave the newspaper in his hand, and then walked towards those possible customers, the newspaper of this year is not a reading material for the poor people, most of the people on the street who take out change to buy newspapers are people wearing suits and leather shoes, It's not that ordinary people can't afford to spend that money, but they are reluctant to spend it just to see the news in the newspaper that the Russian emperor has been arrested, and a bigger part of the reason is that they can't recognize the words in the newspaper even if they buy it. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoChina's literacy rate is still extremely low, although education has developed rapidly in recent years, but to really achieve that anyone on the street can be literate, China's education still needs a long, long time!

The newsboy trotted over to a man in a black suit and a bowler hat waving a newspaper and handed the newspaper in his hand: "Sir, do you need a newspaper?" ”

The man with the mustache turned his head, then looked at the boy, who was at most eleven or twelve, and frowned slightly when his gaze fell on the newsboy's slightly blue face and bare feet.

The newsboy seemed to have seen a lot of people's faces, and when he saw the man's face frowning, he was about to turn around and sell newspapers to others, but as soon as he turned around, he heard the bearded man behind him say, "Oh, bring me a copy!" ”

After that, he took out a one-dollar bill from his pocket and handed it to the newsboy!

After the newsboy got the one-dollar bill, he looked embarrassed: "Sir, do you have any change?" I can't find your dollar! ”

The bearded man didn't answer, and then directly took the newspaper in the newsboy's hand, and didn't read it, so he folded it and held it in his hand, and then said: "Don't look for it, you can keep it and buy a pair of shoes!" ”

The newsboy's face was overjoyed when he heard this, and his blue face immediately showed a smile, and then he quickly bowed and said, "Really, thank you, sir, thank you, sir!" ”

When he looked up, he saw that the bearded man was gone, and he turned around and walked away!

The man held a newspaper in his hand, walked through the street and stopped a rickshaw: "Go to Huaxia Bank on Huidong New Road!" ”

The middle-aged man pulling the rickshaw said, "Okay, sir, you are seated!" ”

Then the rickshaw began to trot, and the bearded man who was sitting on it fell on both sides of the street from time to time, looking at the pedestrians around him, looking at the buildings on both sides of the road, and he didn't feel anything at first, but when the rickshaw turned a corner, it was driving into a cement road, and at this time there were more and more pedestrians, and most of them were men and women wearing more bright clothes, men were either wearing suits and leather shoes or silk vests, women were either dresses or cheongsams or skirts in the style of student women's clothing that was very popular nowadays.

The shops on both sides of the road also look brightly colored, and the large glass windows and indoor lights make these shops completely different from what they have seen before, so that the man in the car shows a slightly surprised look: "This is what Shanghai should look like!" ”

But before he could finish his surprise, the rickshaw just turned another corner, and almost instantly, the bearded man heard a noise of cars and horses that could only be heard on the streets of New York, and saw the high-rise buildings and many cars that can only be found in Manhattan!

For a moment, he had the illusion that he was back in Manhattan, New York!

Is this Shanghai? The bearded man didn't quite believe what he saw, even though many people had told him that the country had changed a lot in the past few years before returning to China, and he also felt that the current Chinese President Chen Jingyun had done a good job, and the country should have changed for the better, but he never thought of it, and he never imagined that he would actually see this scene in China and in Shanghai!

Is this still the same China I was when I left six or seven years ago? Why does it look so different?

Shut down

There are many cars on the wide cement avenue, and there are many high-rise buildings on both sides of the road, half of the people on the street are business elites who are in a hurry, and the other half seem to know at a glance that they are tourists who come from other places to shop and play, and these people wearing fashionable or dirty clothes have a common characteristic, that is, they are spending money, Shanghai's Huidong New Road as China's largest CBD center, not only has many large enterprises stationed here to work, but also has many shops, In China, there are as many as six department stores in Huidong New Road, which is only less than a kilometer, and this is not those small supermarkets, but each of them has a comprehensive surname department store with a reading building, most of the products sold are luxury jewelry, this year, China's department stores are not cheap supermarkets in later generations, but synonymous with luxury jewelry, any fur from Huidong New Road No. 59 Wanzhong Department Store is enough to make the wives or daughters of those middle-class families stop, Coupled with other exquisite and small luxury stores scattered throughout Huidong New Road, Huidong New Road has become a luxury shopping paradise, and the shopping is matched by the luxury hotels on Huidong New Road, among which the Shengshi Hotel invested and built by the Sheng Xuanhuai family is the Huizhong Hotel that surpasses the concession in one fell swoop, becoming the largest investment amount in Shanghai, the most modern and the most expensive hotel.

These add up to a lot of foreign tycoons who have spent countless amounts of money here in order to experience the luxurious lifestyle of Huidong New Road.

However, few of these wealthy tourists from other places will know that they are just a group of rich hillbillies in the eyes of the locals of Huidong New Road, and they are also very stupid, and many business elites of Huidong New Road look at these wealthy foreign tycoons with the same eyes of foreigners in later generations as foreigners look at Chinese tourists in Manhattan Fifth Avenue and Paris's Champs-Γ‰lysΓ©es.

As one of China's two and the largest CBD center, Huidong New Road gives everyone a shock, although the reasons for the shock are different, but everyone who sees the scene of Huidong New Road for the first time will be shocked!

The bearded man on the rickshaw was no exception, I saw him looking at the buildings on both sides of the street and the people on the street with a look full of surprise, and he didn't come back to his senses for a long time, until the rickshaw stopped, and the driver said, "Sir, Huaxia Bank has arrived!" The bearded man reacted, took a breath before getting out of the car, and then after paying the fare, he walked into the building with marble pillars in front of him.

It didn't take long for him to appear in the office of Li Yan, general manager of Huaxia Bank's Shanghai branch.

"Mr. Huang, you can finally come, you must know that I have been waiting for you to come for a full month!" Li Yan seemed to be extremely happy to see this man surnamed Huang.

And the man surnamed Huang said: "Manager Lao Li has been waiting for a long time, after Huang returned to China by ship from New York, he first went to Guangzhou to visit his family, and then took the passenger ferry of China Merchants Company to Shanghai!" There is a delay in time, Manager Li forgive me! ”

Li Yan waved his hand and said, "It's okay, as long as Mr. Huang and you come, I'll wait for something that won't get in the way!" ”

Speaking of this, Li Yan looked at the man surnamed Huang again and said: "For talents like Mr. Huang, our Huaxia Bank is eager to find talents, not to mention that we have just waited for a month, even if it is two months, we can afford to wait for half a year and a year!" ”

Li Yan also sighed a little when he said this, since Huaxia Bank was forced to hand over currency issuance, treasury bond issuance, and national tax deposit business to Bank of China two years ago, Huaxia Bank has fully turned to commercial banks, and has made several large-scale investments, but at this time, Huaxia Bank has become extremely large, the original system has not met the development needs of Huaxia Bank, and Huaxia Bank's internal human resources cannot meet the modernization needs of Huaxia Bank. The most direct consequence is that although Huaxia Bank has continuously shifted its focus to commercial loans in the past two years, the development of this part has been struggling step by step, and the commercial loans have not progressed smoothly in the past two years, but a lot of funds have been wasted. Fortunately, at this time, Huaxia Bank still has the financial support of its Chinese holding enterprises, otherwise Huaxia Bank's commercial loan business in the past two years may drag down the development of the entire bank.

In order to solve the dilemma of the Shanghai branch, Li Yan began to invite more banking experts to join Huaxia Bank, provide support for the formulation of Huaxia Bank's strategic policies, and prepare to reform some systems within the bank.

And this Huang Naiqing in front of him is the talent that Li Yan spent a lot of effort to invite back from the United States!

Huang Naiqing, ancestral home in Hong Kong, Guangdong, his father is a comprador of a British foreign firm, Huang Naiqing lived in Hong Kong with his father when he was a child and attended a church school, when he was young, he arrived in Shanghai with his father to live for a year and studied in a private school in Shanghai for a period of time, and then returned to Hong Kong to continue his studies, and after the age of 18, he went to study in the United Kingdom, but he studied physics at the beginning, not a finance major. But fate is sometimes strange, he went to the United States with friends after obtaining an undergraduate degree at the University of London, England, and then found a job in a bank, and then he became very interested in the banking industry, and even quit his job to study economics at Princeton University in the United States, and successfully obtained a master's degree, and then worked in a bank in Manhattan, USA, only three years because of his excellent work for the bank to earn a lot of profits for the bank and rose to the top of the bank, after he created a lot of profits for the bank, The color of his skin was no longer an obstacle to his promotion in the eyes of the capitalists.

However, despite the smooth and excellent work, when he received an invitation from Huaxia Bank, he decided to return to China after thinking about it for half a month, in addition to the generous treatment promised by Huaxia Bank, it is also related to the fact that Huaxia Bank is the largest bank in China and even the Far East.

As far as Huang Naiqing is concerned, the reason why he returned to China is that the treatment given by Huaxia Bank is generous enough, and the development platform is big enough! This point has nothing to do with the so-called country and nation, and if Huaxia Bank is called "Ben or American, he will also accept the invitation!"

At the end of the day, he is a qualified and standard banker, and bankers have no borders in their eyes!
