Chapter 71 Investigate and Do Good Deeds

The next day, Lin Jian got up early and ran to the municipal government office just after 7 o'clock to wait for Li Hao to go to work. Five minutes later, Yu Chaogui, director of the municipal government office, came to the unit. Looking at Lin Jian waiting at the door, he smiled and said, "I saw the God of Wealth coming to my door early in the morning. I am so lucky today."

Lin Jian said with a wry smile: "Where are we the God of Wealth? The demolition of the municipal government compound is more than ours."

Yu Chaogui laughed and said, "Don't worry, Lao Lin, you will soon become the God of Wealth. Today, the mayor is preparing to sign the documents and call on the party members of the city to actively buy your stocks."

The two chatted for a while. Just after 7:15, Lin Jian saw Santana with a Guangdong 02-9002 license plate hanging through the glass window and drove into the city government compound. Three minutes later, Mayor Li Hao walked into the office.

Li Hao was slightly stunned when he saw Lin Jian and said with a smile: "Only those who are waiting here early in the morning come to ask for money. Could it be that President Lin is not well-off at all?"

Lin Jian followed Li Hao into the office and said, "Mayor, I'm not here to ask for money, but we don't know if we should accept it if we come to deliver it."

"Oh, tell me what's going on." Li Hao asked Lin Jian in great enthusiasm and explained in detail the fact that Liang Haiping was going to buy 550,000 shares.

"What are your internal opinions?" Li Hao pondered for a while and asked, "We held a democratic seminar yesterday. In terms of the situation faced by the United Bank and the future development situation, we need that amount of funds." Lin Jian took out the minutes of yesterday's meeting and handed it over.

Li Hao took the document and read it carefully, then gently tapped the table with his fingers. After a while, Li Hao said slowly: "Lao Lin, this matter will not be approved in the city for the time being, let it be put first."

"Mayor, why?" Lin Jian stood up in desperation.

Li Hao waved his hand and said, "Lao Lin, be at ease. If it is an ordinary company, I can reply to you now. But banks are different from ordinary companies. If ordinary companies are not well-managed and bankrupt, it is only a small local problem. If there is a problem with the bank, it will be a big social problem. It may affect the people's living and working in a region."

"If there is no major shareholder, I believe that with the current leadership of United Bank, the bank will be brought into the track of rapid development. However, if a major shareholder is produced, according to the principle of joint-stock enterprises, the major shareholder has natural rights and can affect the leadership of the bank and the development direction of the bank. We must carefully consider these factors."

"Since we have established joint-stock enterprises, we have to follow the rules of joint-stock enterprises. This involves the ruling credit issue of our party, and there is no vagueness." Li Hao paused for a moment.

Lin Jian hurriedly said: "Yes, Mayor, we are carrying out the shareholding reform of enterprises in order to activate the independent vitality of enterprises, improve the competitiveness of enterprises, and act in accordance with market rules. Whether it is a major shareholder or a small shareholder, they are normal products under the market economy.

"If we use administrative orders to prohibit the existence of major shareholders and completely disperse the equity, what is the difference between such banks and four major state-owned banks? It's just that one shareholder is the people of the whole country and one shareholder is the local people of the whole country. This shareholding reform has no meaning at all, and it can only turn the United Bank into a reduced version of the four major state banks."

If Liang Yuan was present, he would definitely applaud Lin Jian's words. Liang Yuan's previous life's Shenzhen Kaituo Bank was known as one million shareholders at the peak. It was precisely because of the extreme dispersion of shareholders that the government was the dominant one. Therefore, the business style of Shenzhen Kaituo Bank was extremely similar to that of the four major state-owned banks, with bloated personnel, unclear responsibilities and inefficient. In just over ten years of the 1990s, Shenzhen Kaituo actually changed six presidents, and the fifth president was arrested for illegal loans.

However, the four major state-owned banks are supported by the central bank's printing machine, and their performance is really unsightly. The central bank waved its hand and hundreds of billions of dollars into the capital, and it immediately turned over. Shenzhen Kaituo Bank was unable to make it. Due to the limitation of equity capital, Shenzhen Kaituo Bank has the least assets, the lowest performance, and the slowest development speed among the 16 national banks in China.

The reason why Shenzhen Kaituo Bank made a huge profit after its listing was similar to the two barrels of oil in later generations was entirely based on monopoly.

Li Hao smiled and looked at Lin Jian and said hurriedly, waved his hand and said, "Old Lin, I'm just saying a little peace, wait until I finish my words."

"Operating a bank is no better than other companies. We must have an understanding of the purpose, ideas and business capabilities of shareholders. Otherwise, if the major shareholder takes over and commands randomly, it will not be a business for a company. It is not a big mistake for us to be careful."

"Lao Lin, go to meet the subscriber today and have a good chat to have a comprehensive understanding of the subscriber. I will report this to my superiors."

Lin Jian had no choice but to nod and leave the mayor's office.

Li Hao watched Lin Jian leave the office, took out a cigarette, leaned against the wide office chair, and took a sip. He didn't explain the complexity of this matter in detail to Lin Jian just now. For Lin Jian, he could only consider the development and growth of United Bank. But he couldn't.

What are the backgrounds of these three shareholders, whether the origin of the funds purchased by the stocks is innocent, what is the real purpose, and whether it has a destructive purpose... Reform is reform, and there is still a need to be vigilant, otherwise it will be easy for conservatives in the party to catch the handle.

After smoking, he picked up the phone and dialed a number. After the phone was connected, Li Hao stood up from the chair and said, "I am Li Hao from Shenzhen, please take Mr. Gu for me."

Liang Yuan, who didn't know that he was about to be investigated, was standing under the famous billboard of the Shekou Industrial Zone "Time is money, efficiency is life". Liang Yuan looked at these two slogans that caused countless waves across the country back then and felt deeply moved. Eight or nine years ago, money was a derogatory term in China, and all the people were ashamed to mention it in public.

It has to be said that Taizu, who founded the country, set a bad precedent in this regard. The great man had an extremely contemptuous attitude towards money and was often proud of not touching money in the second half of his life. With the upward and downward effect, the entire nation's attitude towards money was in a strange state of despisedness before the change of opening up. As a result, after the change of opening up, the magic of money bottomed out and rebounded, and the entire nation became a disciple of the Money Sect.

The public servants even carried forward the hobby of great men without catching money. As a result, the country paid countless money in the three public funds every year, which resulted in the public servants' wages being basically unchanged, tobacco and alcohol are basically relied on delivery, housing is basically relied on tribute, and wives are basically not required.

Liang Haiping looked at Liang Yuan and stared at the advertisement for a long time, and asked in confusion: "Xiaoyuan, you came out for a walk early in the morning just to see this brand?"

In Liang Haiping's eyes, this brand is just a slogan and publicity board with a bit novel content, but in Liang Yuan's eyes, it is a symbol of an era.

Liang Yuan smiled and did not answer Liang Haiping's question, saying, "Uncle, I drank too much water in the morning, so I'll go to the grass there for convenience." In 1987, the Shekou Industrial Zone was a wasteland except for the factory buildings, which was far from the image of the top residential areas in Shenzhen in the future.

After the water was released, Liang Yuan was about to step onto the road, and felt a chuckle under his feet. He looked down at a black wallet lying quietly on the side of the road near the grass.

Liang Yuan picked up his wallet and opened it and looked at it. It was more than 200 yuan, a train ticket from Guangzhou to Shenzhen, and a letter of introduction from Hangzhou Oxygen Manufacturing Machinery Equipment Factory. The letter of introduction said that Comrade Wu Anguo from Hangzhou Oxygen Manufacturing Machinery Equipment Factory Technical Department went to your department to discuss work matters. I hope to receive it.

Liang Yuan closed his wallet, walked to Liang Haiping and shook it proudly and said, "Uncle, do you see it? This is the purpose of my early morning. I told you why did your eyelids jump all night last night."

"We are rich, 200 yuan, and we have the travel expenses to go home." Liang Yuan said with a smile. Liang Haiping patted Liang Yuan's neck, took the wallet and flipped it out, picked up the train ticket and looked carefully and said, "The train departed from Guangzhou at 6 o'clock this morning. I just arrived in Shenzhen. This wallet should have been lost by the owner."

"Uncle, I'll go to the small shop there to ask for a big cardboard box and write it on the lost and found. You can wait for me here for a while," Liang Yuan said, pointing to a shop in the distance.

Liang Haiping nodded.

In 1987, there was already a waste carton recycling in Guangzhou. The store had just sold the carton. Liang Yuan finally huddled 2 yuan and asked the store owner to dismantle a new cigarette. Liang Yuan borrowed an atomic pen and wrote four big words "lost and found" on the back of the carton.

Back at the placard "Time is Money", Liang Yuan shook the card in his hand and said, "Uncle, I remembered that my right eye stuttered last night, and today I did lose money. This thing caused me two yuan."

Liang Haiping smiled and said, "Didn't you hear the old man say that it's a blessing to suffer losses. God will compensate you sooner or later."

The two of them chatted about everything in Shenzhen on the side of the road, while shaking the cards in their hands from time to time.

Half an hour later, a dark brown middle-aged man wearing glasses and a white half-sleeved shirt, walked quickly from a distance panting, while walking and patrolling the roadside from time to time.

Liang Yuan pointed to the middle-aged man and said to Liang Haiping: "Uncle, this is quite like a lot. Please ask later."

Liang Haiping nodded. After the middle-aged man approached, hesitated at the lost and found cards in Liang Yuan's hand, then walked over and asked, "Comrade, have you picked up something?"

Liang Haiping nodded and said, "We have picked up something nearby. If you lose something, please describe it so as not to miss it."

"A black wallet with a train ticket inside, which costs 200 yuan..." The middle-aged man said exactly what Liang Yuan picked up in his wallet. (To be continued! ~!
