Chapter 358 Respecting foreigners!
"Director Zhou, I don't think you need to say more. Our Huasheng Bank intends to cooperate with Bikang Group to jointly build a new pharmaceutical industry complex in the capital." A middle-aged man with a beard said, whose name is Gao Huakang and is the Asian manager of Huasheng Investment Bank.
"Our McCarway company is also very optimistic about the prospects of Bikang New Pharmaceutical Industry Complex. We believe that after the project is completed, it will become the pearl of the pharmaceutical field in the East and even the world." McCarway is a very powerful investment bank in Europe. The person who spoke is Wilkens, the risk department director of the bank. The company has long instructed him to defeat other investment banks with all his might and successfully intervene in Bikang New Project.
"I want to ask Director Zhou to believe in our McCarway's sincerity. Although the construction of the new project requires extremely large amounts of funds, it is really not a difficult task for us. You just need to say a number and we guarantee that it can be done."
Wilkens's words were very convincing, and he also believed that his conditions could impress Zhou Anke.
"I came today to represent the head office of China Construction Bank. The president of our head office has made a statement that he will spare no effort to help Bikang Group carry out the construction of new projects." A fat and big-eared middle-aged Chinese man also spoke: "Compared with those foreign investment banks, we are domestic capital, and the risk is much lower than the risk of utilizing foreign capital. Moreover, we are all Chinese, and many things can be negotiated."
As he said that, the middle-aged president showed a smile that you and I knew. Indeed, if the government helps to violate the rules to take shortcuts in business in China, it will indeed save a lot of effort. In this regard, China's local banks will have unique advantages.
In the conference room, everyone expressed their confidence in the Bikang new project, while Zhou Anke listened carefully and remembered the attitude of each investment bank clearly in his heart.
Xu Wenjie from Gaoqi Bank sat coldly in a corner of the conference room, always watching coldly and not saying a word.
After almost everyone expressed their opinions, he stood up, tapped the table lightly with his fingers, and sneered: "I won't agree with this matter, Gaoqi Bank will not involve investment in the Bikang new project."
As soon as these words were spoken, the audience was in an uproar.
Zhou Anke's expression stopped, while Su Rui narrowed his eyes and smiled playfully. He seemed to have expected Xu Wenjie to say this.
What happened to the representative of Gaoqi Bank? How could he make such a decision? Everyone is optimistic about Bikang's new project and is rushing to invest. How could Gaoqi Bank say such words? Xu Wenjie is usually overestimated and will not even take such investment opportunities that are rare in ten years seriously!
Xu Wenjie seemed to think the atmosphere in the conference room was not strong enough. He looked around for a week and said, "Not only that, I also hope that all investment banks will not participate in the investment in the Bikang New Project."
After hearing this, the atmosphere in the conference room suddenly solidified!
This is obviously a blatant disruption!
In the financial circle and investment banking circle, this kind of behavior is definitely a taboo!
Zhou Anke held the table with both hands, looked at Xu Wenjie and said, "I want to know why Mr. Xu had such an idea? It is understandable that you don't want to invest, but you can't control other people's investment intentions."
Su Rui still didn't say anything. He stared at Xu Wenjie's arrogant face, thinking about something.
Xu Wenjie sneered and said, "I don't want to invest, so there are naturally my reasons. Also, please don't call me Mr. Xu, I am an American, please call me Jeremy."
Although I look like a Chinese face, although I once had a Chinese name, I am now an American. Please call me my American name.
This sentence is so naked, especially on the land of China, which makes the Chinese people present feel that this statement is really harsh.
The president of China Construction Bank before shook his head: "After all, people can't forget their roots."
Wilkens smiled coldly: "Jeremy, it's your own business that you don't want to invest, but if you make such a decision because you are afraid of competition and want to take the opportunity to let us all give up, I will think your thinking and practice are very low-level."
As soon as this statement was spoken, many people nodded in agreement, and it was obvious that they all thought so.
"Yes, Director Jeremy, your thoughts do not represent the ideas of all of us. In fact, if you have to do this, we will unite against Gaoqi Bank. Your behavior is against the rules."
Xu Wenjie smiled coldly: "Rules? Where are the rules? Who made them? Can you tell me?"
Another old economist in China also said: "Wenjie, you have always been the student I admire the most. Why did you become like this after not seeing each other for a few years?"
The old expert felt a little heartbroken in his tone. He was once a university professor at Xu Wenjie and admired the talent and ability of this young man very much. With his strong recommendation, Xu Wenjie was able to receive a notice of admission to Yale University's master's degree and applied for a full scholarship.
It can be said that without this old professor, there would not be Xu Wenjie today.
"Professor Li, I have already said it before, you should call me Jeremy." Xu Wenjie replied coldly. He straightened his body and glanced around the conference room again, his eyes communicated with everyone without any fear. This look was like declaring war!
Looking at the respected Professor Li, Xu Wenjie had no gratitude in his eyes, but only coldness!
"Forget your roots, forget your roots!" Professor Li sighed with heartache, and Xu Wenjie's cold eyes really hurt him!
In the past few years, although Professor Li is in China, he has been paying attention to Xu Wenjie's growth through the ocean. This disciple he is very optimistic about has not disappointed him. He has worked hard all the way to make himself more and more brilliant. Every time he sees the news about Xu Wenjie and the dazzling achievements he has made, Professor Li feels very pleased.
However, since he went out, Xu Wenjie has hardly returned to China, and he has not even called a phone call. Perhaps in his opinion, the resources that Professor Li can bring have been used up by him. What he needs to enter is Wall Street, the highest palace of international finance. In this regard, Professor Li obviously can't help much.
In fact, many teachers who once taught Xu Wenjie did not think that this child would leave China completely. They would rather believe that this poor student at that time had many indescribable hidden secrets. When he became the youngest doctor of economics in Yale history, I don’t know how many people were happy for him across the ocean, but when he became a US citizen, I don’t know how many people sighed because of this.
Now, he returned to China with a glory, but showed such a cold side. Not only did he not support the construction of local enterprises in China, he even urged other investment banks not to participate. This action made all the Chinese present feel cold.
He was even unwilling to admit his identity as a Chinese. Everyone knows the word "Xu Wenjie", but he insisted that others call him "Jeremy".
This look of admiring foreigners and fascinating foreigners is too speechless.
Su Rui leaned his body in his seat and looked at Xu Wenjie who was standing proudly. His eyes were unstable and he never said anything.
Over the years, he has seen many people who urgently abandoned their Chinese identity after they arrived in the United States. He did not despise this behavior, but just watched without any emotion. Everyone has a different story. They made such a choice, perhaps out of helplessness, or out of dreams. Su Rui did not want to make too many judgments.
However, Xu Wenjie's performance made him feel very uncomfortable.
After wandering in the underground world abroad for so many years, an American citizenship is not a difficult task for Su Rui. Even after becoming an American citizen, he can avoid many troubles, but he did not do this because he still thinks he is a Chinese.
That land produces and raises itself, there are its own compatriots and its own roots.
Even though the current environment is not very good, and even if some of the scum has stained the land with dust, Su Rui is still willing to love this country. Even though he is thousands of miles away, he is still concerned about China.
In fact, it’s not just Su Rui, but many people are like him.
On the arena of the ten-year competition between the Chinese gangs, when the arrogant Honda Guai shouted the four words "Sick Man in East Asia" to tens of thousands of Chinese people, the Chinese people present were angry.
Even though they are gangsters, even if they walk under the darkness, they are often social instability factors, and may even have criminal records, they still put their own country first. Su Rui was completely convinced that if China was insulted or even invaded, then these gangsters would definitely sacrifice everything for this country without hesitation.
Because, they are bloody.
After seeing Xu Wenjie's performance, Su Rui was also sure that if someone pointed at his nose and scolded him as the "sick man from East Asia", then this person would definitely be disdainful, and then explained by the way: "Sorry, you scolded the wrong person, I am an American."
Thinking of this, Su Rui shook his head again. He was able to fight hard in the battlefield of young people in the United States with his talent and ability. This Xu Wenjie is definitely not a brainless person. His IQ is very high, but his emotional intelligence is absolutely impossible to be so outrageous.
Is there really something hard to say about?
At this time, Professor Li stood up again, looked at the student he once admired the most with complicated eyes, and sighed and said, "Jeremy, let's talk in private."
