After two days off, it's time to go back to work on Monday. JZ Bank has a pretty open policy, as long as you’re not a teller, you can simply wear formal clothes, there are no rules about uniforms.
Zheng Yu An drove down to the basement and parked, he put on his suit only after the elevator arrived. Ever since the weather got hot, he stopped wearing a tie. Today, two of his shirt’s buttons were opened, making him look slightly more casual.
Unexpectedly, he ran into Qin Han Guan in the elevator.
"President Qin," Zheng Yu An nodded his head.
Qin Han Guan's gaze shot straight to his collar, "You’re a little too handsome, you should pay attention to your image."
Zheng Yu An was both crying and laughing. Just by looks, Qin Han Guan is not really qualified to judge him. The Park branch of JS bank has two major visuals, one is Zheng Yu An, and the other is the president of the bank Qin Han Guan.
Their offices are on a higher level, and as the elevator was going up, staff came in one after another. Zheng Yu An was easy-going, but also worked his way up from the start and was not difficult to approach, so he has very good relationships with the staff. There were more female employees in the bank, plus, Zheng Yu An has good looks, so when the elevator is full of people, almost all the women are crowded on his side.
Again, Qin Han Guan unhappily made a "tsk" sound.
"Today WE GO will send someone to talk about financing loans." Chen Li is Zheng Yu An's secretary, she usually tells Zheng Yu An about larger cases, "We have to arrange a time to meet."
"WE GO?" interjected Qin Han Guan from the sidelines, "That online travel service company?"
Chen Li, "They are now the largest online technology industry, not the small workshop eight years ago."
Qin Han Guan is very money-minded, "Then we should meet them soon."
When Zheng Yu An first joined the industry, he worked at the counter, and it can be said that he watched the development of WE GO step by step. From the teller to the public manager, Zheng Yu An was very familiar with WE GO’s information.
"I went to the banking supervision for two years, they now seem to be listed?" Zheng Yu An asked.
Chen Li nodded, "That's their intention this year, so many investment companies are trying to contact them. But they’ve had a cooperation with our bank for quite some time now, so we will likely be their first choice."
High net worth corporate clients. Zheng Yu An thought, it’s like a fat flowing piece of pork belly meat, if they don't make a move soon, it could be snatched from the mouth by some big bank at any time.
Qin Han Guan, of course, also understood the urgency in the matter, pointed to Zheng Yu An, and said, "keep them well entertained."
Zheng Yu An tied the button on his collar, he smiled and whispered, "I'm more eager than you are."
This time, the loan WE GO wants to take out is very large, close to 300 million, and the term is five years. Their financial statements have been given to Zheng Yu An in advance, but it will take some time to read through.
Chen Li came in when Zheng Yu An's cigarette was only half smoked, he said "sorry", and pressed out the remaining half in the ashtray.
"WE GO's people have come, it's Secretary Zhang." Chen Li said.
Zheng Yu An was a little surprised, "The CFO didn’t come personally?"
Chen Li, "It’s said that he had to attend a meeting that came up suddenly. But Secretary Zhang is just coming to meet us today, I assume he’s here to invite us to the headquarters."
Zheng Yu An's expression was noncommittal, he actually didn't care who he met, he just had a moment or two of curiosity when he saw the signature on the statement.
"Yan Shu Wang." Zheng Yu An thought of this name in his mind. He was still working at the counter eight years ago when the three words "Yan Shu Wang" were so often seen. WE GO sends out their payroll at the beginning of the month, and this signature would always be on the list that the financing department sends at the end of the month.
"Director Yan is also a member of WE GO's staff," Chen Li isn’t shy when chatting about gossip, "he’s been with WE GO since it was founded, and has always been responsible for the financial department. I heard that it was him who negotiated the initial investment that got the company going, he’s very intelligent."
Successful men have always been the talk of the working class, the financial sector is not as popular as the entertainment industry, but one or two great people will also be talked about for a long time.
WE GO and JZ Bank have a long history of cooperation, JZ bank even offers their corporate payroll cards, and in order to show their sincerity, JZ Bank designed a set of WE GO's exclusive logo printed on the card at the beginning of the cooperation.
It is not without reason that WE GO has not left JZ bank for so many years.
Secretary Zhang was waiting in the parlor, and he smiled very brightly when he saw Zheng Yu An.
"Xiao1 Zheng!" Zhang Jin was more obviously blessed after his marriage, and his double chin could be seen when he smiled, "Congratulations on your promotion, it's been a long time."
"Long time no see." Zheng Yu An shook hands with him, Zheng Yu An is familiar with most of WE GO finance department’s employees. Zhang Jin has also been in the company for a long time. In the past, he used to come to the bank to give checks and Zheng Yu An received him several times. When he was transferred to the banking supervision two years ago, Zhang Jin even came to ask whether he was transferring somewhere else.
"I told you that when you came back you certainly can be a leader," it’s obvious that Zhang Jin is genuinely happy for him, "it’s good that we are familiar with each other, we will have to work closely together in the future."
The relationship between banks and businesses is indeed sometimes very much like "wife" and "husband". It’s just that when the business just started, the bank’s more like a concubine. But after the business becomes successful, the bank’s position would be secured, there are just a lot of investors fighting for favor.
Zhang Jin is really just a "wading guest." He’s just here to show his face, reminiscing about the past with Zheng Yu An, to warm up feelings.
Zheng Yu An pulled out a cigarette, but Zhang Jin quickly said, "Oh, my cigarettes are good, smoke this."
Huang He Lou's Zhao Jun Gu Li2.
Zheng Yu An thanked him, took the cigarette and lit it.
Zhang Jin looked at the Su cigarettes in Zheng Yu An’s hand and laughed, "When I first knew that you smoke this cigarette I remember thinking that it was too expensive. I thought, ‘a teller, smoking cigarettes that are 48 yuan, how pretentious."
Zheng Yu An pulled the distant ashtray closer to him, "This cigarette is good, the shell is also beautiful."
Zhang Jin smiled, "I know you really like it."
Zheng Yu An smiled and did not say anything, Zhang Jin smoked for a while, seemed to remember something, "But Mr. Yan smokes the same brand of cigarettes as you."
Zheng Yu An froze for a moment, not too convinced, "Really?"
Zhang Jin, "Why would I lie to you, not everyone gets offered a cigarette from Mr. Yan, I have been with him for so long, but only been handed one or two."
Zheng Yu An squeezed his eyes at him, "Your cigarettes are more expensive than Mr. Yan's."
Zhang Jin is quite proud, "Our corporate culture does not care about the relationship between the leader and the subordinate, although Mr. Yan is not exactly good-tempered, he’s a reasonable person."
Zheng Yu pretended to have a headache and joked, "Ge, what you say is making me afraid."
Zhang Jin kicked him in the leg lightly, "What are you saying? You get along with everybody."
When the people from WE GO left, Qin Han Guan deliberately came downstairs to see them off. Zheng Yu An and Zhang Jin plan to go to WE GO headquarters next week; Qin Han Guan may also have to go with them.
"It's best to get dinner together," Qin Han Guan is of northern descent, so he’s a little taller than Zheng Yu An. Qin Han Guan boasts of beastly beauty; his hair is smeared with hairspray, making his hair stand up from the roots.
Zhang Jin was a little more reserved to him than to Zheng Yu An, "you must be free in order for us to have dinner together."
Qin Han Guan, "Mr. Zheng can drink very well, it depends on what Mr. Yan wants."
Zhang Jin smiled, he did not refuse nor agree.
Qin Han Guan waited for people to leave before smacking his lips, "They’re difficult to get, huh."
Zheng Yu An, "Zhang Jin is scrupulous, the fact that he came shows that we are very important to WE GO."
Qin Han Guan unexpectedly looked at him, "You know Yan Shu Wang well?"
"No." Zheng Yu An smiled, "I'm not familiar with him, I may not have even met him before."
Qin Han Guan thought about it, "Not necessarily, I remember that you have worked at the counter before, and later also as an account manager, you’ve been working with WE GO for a long time?"
Zheng Yu An nodded, "Yes."
Qin Han Guan stroked his chin, "Then you should have met him. Back when they were still a small workshop, Yan Shu Wang came a few times, you have no impression?" After saying that, Qin Han Guan denied his own assumption, "If you do not remember, then you guys may not have met.If you meet Yan Shu Wang even once, you will not forget him."
Zheng Yu An was somewhat surprised, "How come?"
Qin Han Guan held a hand to cover his mouth like he’s saying something unseemly, and said mysteriously, "Yan Shu Wang is a great beauty, his looks are over the top, even women can not compare. He has long hair, is thirty-five years old and unmarried...I suspect that he is gay."
Zheng Yu An: "......"
