Chapter 80

The dust of Yonglong Bank has settled, and it has laid a solid foundation for Li Wen's consortium construction.[]

Yonglong Bank finally got what it wanted and fell into his pocket. Before Li Wen could breathe a sigh of relief, he was tortured by a series of problems such as the withdrawal of the Wu family and the rectification of business.

During the entire acquisition process, Wang Bingkun was always charging forward, but Wang Bingkun knew that he was just a temporary transitional figure, and he did not have the ability to control a behemoth like Yonglong Bank.

This is not to say that Wang Bingkun is not capable enough, but because his professional field is different. He is good at hedging arbitrage, and the helmsman of Yonglong Bank needs more business capabilities.

In Li Wen's conception, the system formed by Yonglong Bank will serve as a commercial bank and provide strong financial support for future consortiums. It is the top priority of the consortium built by Li Wen and it is to be built into a solid backing for consortiums.

Selecting a helm for Wing Lung Bank is put before all the questions.

No one from Chen Shaofeng's series is suitable for this position. Huofeng Investment's future direction will be an investment bank that is on par with the Yonglong Banking System.

If Yonglong Bank is the shield of the consortium to be built in the future, then Huofeng Investment is the sword of the consortium.

Chen Shaofeng is good at investment direction business, and he is not suitable for this position at all. Others do not even have the qualifications.

At Huofeng Investment, Chen Shaofeng is in charge of the overall situation and administration, Zhao Qingmei is in charge of venture capital with the title of deputy general manager. He has sent Li Xiaoliang to lead people to contact the Google and Baidu companies that Li Wen told them; Zhou Zhenyu is also in charge of the financial field with the title of deputy general manager; Mark is also in charge of the intelligence department with the title of deputy general manager.

As for Wang Chao, in order to train him, he had asked him to preside over the absorption of the secondary market shares of Yonglong Bank. Now that the dust of Yonglong Bank has been settled, he has been free. According to Li Wen's intention, he would still ask him to go back to Zhou Zhenyu for exercise first.

After all, there are few people under Li Wen who can take the lead.

The investment of Yonglong Bank has led to a lot of problems, but in general it has taken another step. In order to comfort Chen Shaofeng and the others' hard work these days, Li Wen booked the hall at the Fulin Hotel on August 4 and asked everyone to bring their families to have a big meal.

After drinking and eating, I sent my family away, and several major figures came to Meiyuan to meet again.

"Mr. Wen, please find someone to replace me quickly." As soon as he sat down, Wang Bingkun became bitter.

"Haha... Lao Wang, are you still buying good luck when you get a cheap one? You are now the executive president of Wing Lung Bank Holding Group and the executive president of Wing Lung Bank. You have countless beauties under your staff and control the assets up to HK$60 billion." Zhao Qingmei said with a chuckling, with cunning flashing in her eyes.

Before finding a suitable helmator, Li Wen had to let him lead the Yonglong Bank temporarily. Li Wen had never thought of choosing one of the former senior executives of Yonglong Bank to take on this position.

After the assessment, there were indeed several outstanding figures. With their abilities, they were only in charge of Yonglong Bank, which was quite good. Moreover, Yonglong Bank has made great contributions to the mainland in recent years.

But Wing Lung Bank is just a small bank after all. Although these people have outstanding abilities, it is not clear whether they have the ability to lead a global multinational commercial bank. Wing Lung Bank is just the first cornerstone of Li Wen's commercial banking system. After the Nasdaq network bubble burst, it will use Wing Lung Bank as a springboard to advance to the world.

Considering that they just bought Yonglong Bank, these original characters should be curious, at least they have to wait until they recognize the position before they release them. Therefore, these people are not suitable to take charge of Yonglong Bank for the time being.

It is better to be insignificant than to be indiscriminate, than to be responsible for the former puppet Wang Bingkun.

Winglong Bank has become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Winglong Bank Holding Group. The administrative structure has become relatively simple, and many things have to be kept temporarily due to manpower problems, but the workload is not low, not to mention that Wang Bingkun is not familiar with most of the businesses.

As soon as Wang Bingkun joined this circle, he immediately took such a burden, which made him feel like walking on thin ice every day, worried that that place would come out.

He learned that their boss was a very generous person. In just a few months, several core figures were already billionaires. His nephew Wang Chao was several times larger than him. It was rare to join this circle through Wang Chao's relationship. He didn't want to be kicked out of it. Therefore, in just a few days in charge of Yonglong Bank, he lost a lot of weight.

"Manager Zhao, stop sarcasming me anymore. I know how much I have." Wang Bingkun sighed and then looked at Li Wen.

Li Wen shrugged and said to himself in a deep voice, "It's not that I don't want to transfer you too much Huofeng Investment." You know the situation here. I really can't get out of the hands of people, and I'm not at ease with others. I've already contacted the headhunting company and President Ren Zhiqiang, so you can work hard for a few more days."

Before Wang Bingkun could continue to complain, Zhou Zhenyu suddenly said that I met someone at the entrance of the hotel just now, but I thought he was a suitable candidate."

"Well, really? Who is it?" Everyone was immediately attracted by Zhou Zhenyu's words, and everyone turned their heads and stared at him.

The position of the executive president of Yonglong Bank Holding Group is very average. Although they do not know Li Wen’s idea, through Li Wen’s attitude towards him, it can be seen that this position is important in Li Wen’s mind. In the future, in their circle, people in this position will undoubtedly be one of the key core figures.

Wang Bingkun's eyes were even more shiny, emitting a terrifying light. He had long wanted to put down this burden that did not belong to him so as to return to the hedging arbitrage business he was good at in order to show it and prove his value.

"Zhang Lihong, currently the executive director of Goldman Sachs (Asia) and the chief of China Representative Office, I had several short contacts with him at Goldman Sachs, and it was barely acquainted." Zhou Zhenyu said slowly.

When Li Wen and others were busy acquiring Wing Lung Bank, Zhou Zhenyu was also busy leading his subordinates to operate the Nikkei 225 futures index. When it was reported that six major Japanese consortiums were losing $80 billion, Zhou Zhenyu spent $1 billion to enter the Singapore International Financial Exchange to start shorting the Nikkei 225 futures index.

By the end of July, the main contract of the Nikkei 225 futures index fell by more than 2,200 points, a drop of 13%, and the profit of 1 billion funds exceeded US$700 million, giving Li Wen a satisfactory report card.

Chen Shaofeng's eyes lit up and nodded, saying, "I have also heard of this person. Although he is young, he has strong abilities and is highly appreciated by Goldman Sachs headquarters. He is in charge of the executive director of Goldman Sachs (Asia) and the chief of the China Representative Office in recent years. His achievements are obvious to all. According to legend, he has a certain background in the mainland."

Zhou Zhenyu continued to say that I just asked, it seems that Deutsche Bank is in contact with him, and it is said that he intends to take charge of the Asia-Pacific President of Deutsche Bank Global Banking Department and the Chairman of Deutsche Bank China."

"Zhang Lihong..." Li Wen thought for a while, and there was no such character in his memory.

Before rereading his life, he had little knowledge of the banking aspect. Apart from those who reported it every day, he could be said to have no idea, but it did not affect his judgment. Being able to be regarded as the president of the Asia-Pacific region by Deutsche Bank was enough to prove his ability. He immediately said with great enthusiasm that Zhang Lihong should be a suitable candidate.

"But... since he has been invited by Deutsche Bank, I don't know whether he is willing to condescend to the small temple of Yonglong... Ignore it. Zhou, please contact him first. As long as he is willing to come to Yonglong, he will open the conditions at will, and even if he wants to do shares, he will agree to him."

Li Wen made up his mind. Now, in order to understand the words "the most expensive talents in the 21st century", Yonglong Bank has not rectified and reorganized it, and he even dared not transfer some of the funds placed in Swiss Bank.

The acquisition of Wing Lung Bank used a total of about HK$28.5 billion, about US$3.6 billion. It used to subscribe to 7% of CNOOC shares, and Huofeng Investment used US$3 billion. With all the expenses, he still has more than US$15 billion in vacant funds in the Swiss bank.

In his plan, US$5 billion will be deposited into Yonglong Bank in the name of Yonglong Holdings Group as funds for future activities.

"Okay, I'll get in touch with him tonight." Zhou Zhenyu nodded and replied, brows jumping, asking if he could tell him about Yonglong's relationship with Huofeng Investment?"

"Yes, this one cannot be kept secret. Although there are not many people with Huofeng Investment and Yonglong, there are definitely many, and there are no places worth hiding."

Li Wen nodded and continued to say that right. Given three days to consider it, he can tell him that Yonglong’s future development plan will be to form a national trans commercial bank within three years. A large bank like Deutsche Bank is Yonglong’s future goal. Ask him if he is confident that he can afford this task. If he doesn’t believe it, he can assure him that in the next three years, the funds to inject Yonglong Holdings will not be less than US$40 billion."

When he heard that Li Wen promised to inject no less than US$40 billion into Yonglong Holdings in the next three years, everyone sitting immediately took a breath, especially Wang Bingkun, who had just joined, had his eyes shining.

Those who participated in the crude oil last time knew that Li Wen could call no less than 20 billion US dollars. At that time, they didn't know whether the funds were Li Wen's personal or someone else behind Li Wen.

But judging from Duan’s experience, it seems that Li Wen is the one who takes charge of the withdrawal. Compared with Li Wen’s family situation, they have already vaguely guessed that the more than 20 billion US dollars are Li Wen’s personal ones, which has already shocked Li Wen’s destiny.

Now when he heard that Li Wen promised to inject US$40 billion into Yonglong Holdings in the next three years, he couldn't help but guess how much money Li Wen had.

Ignoring the little Jiujiu in the hearts of the few people, after making the decision, he looked at it. It was almost eleven o'clock. Li Wen immediately drove them away. He tossed them all night tonight, and everyone was exhausted. He just explained it when seeing off and asked Zhou Zhenyu to work harder, so he contacted Zhang Lihong.
