Chapter 602: Master Gao's Noble Aura
Lin Ze thought about it and felt that the possibility was not high.
The divestiture of the North China Transportation Corporation's non-performing assets has been carried out in a rather covert manner and is only in its initial stages. After all, it involves huge amounts of capital, equity and entities, which cannot be transferred in a day or two.
Even some senior executives of the North China Transportation Corporation are unaware of the current actions, so how could the headquarters know about it?
As for whether there are spies arranged by the headquarters inside the North China Transportation Corporation, that is even more impossible. These senior executives have long been thoroughly investigated by Niu Saner, and Director Niu basically has evidence on them.
Think about it, given their positions, it is certain that they can make some money or make random claims, not to mention keeping one or several mistresses. So Director Niu has plenty of evidence or photos in his hands. If any of them dares to tip off the base, everyone will be affected.
Under such constraints, there was no need for Director Niu to watch over them, as they would keep a close eye on each other.
But since the base camp has sent people, we have to be on guard.
Lin Ze first tried to comfort him, "Yoshimura, why are you panicking? Be more alert. You have been running the North China Transportation Corporation for so many years. You even dared to burn down a building. Are you afraid of inspectors from the headquarters?"
After hearing what he said, Yoshimura Yuta calmed down a little and stammered, "It wasn't me who burned it. I just added fuel to the fire..."
Lin Ze waved his hand and said, "Okay, let's not talk about the past, but we need to study the issue of divesting non-performing assets again."
Yoshimura Yuta quickly straightened his posture and said, "No matter how you arrange it, I will carry it out unconditionally."
Lin Ze nodded in satisfaction. "I originally wanted to let the Xinfeng Trading Company newly established by Miyamoto directly acquire your bad mines and docks, but now that the headquarters has turned its attention here, we have to be cautious."
As he spoke, Lin Ze lit a cigarette and thought for a while.
"Well, you set up a new company under the North China Transportation Corporation, called the North China Development Corporation, which will be responsible for handling the non-core business of the Transportation Corporation, especially some non-performing assets. Then I will let Xinfeng Trading Company purchase a portion of the shares of the North China Development Corporation, and then..."
The more Yoshimura Yuta listened to Lin Ze's arrangements, his eyes widened!
Si Guoyi!
Could it be that Master Lin is a genius?
You know, as the head of such a huge enterprise, Yoshimura's business vision and operational methods are far beyond ordinary people, but he is still amazed by Lin Ye's brilliant ideas and fancy methods!
It’s not unfair that I lost to such a person!
If I can follow him well, maybe I will have more room for development!
He immediately bowed deeply and said, "Please rest assured, I will arrange it when I get back!"
"Well, in addition, you should report the inspector's every move to Director Niu in a timely manner."
"Hayi!"
......................
Gao family.
Ever since Gao Puyu made those outrageous remarks in front of everyone, Gao Maoxue published an article in the newspaper, saying that Gao Puyu's words and deeds were outrageous and disgraceful to the family, so Gao Maoxue severed ties with him. From then on, Gao Puyu had nothing to do with the Gao family anymore.
After the article was published in the newspaper, Gao Maoxue confined his bastard son to his home, and then carefully sent someone outside to inquire about the news.
A few days passed, everything was calm outside, and there was no news from the office.
This made Senior Gao Mao breathe a sigh of relief. Maybe Director Lin didn't even notice his son's remarks!
Come to think of it, Director Lin is busy with all kinds of things, how could he get angry with a child?
Thinking of this, Lao Gao also relaxed, continuing to smoke opium and drink Shaoxing wine, and from time to time secretly going to the outer house to satisfy his craving.
He got up early that day and performed a set of boxing exercises in the yard in a very formal manner.
After all, I'm old, and my health is important. Yesterday, I danced for a few minutes outside the house and started to feel sore in my back.
It’s impossible to refuse to accept the old age!
After practicing for a while, Gao Maoxue stopped because his forehead was slightly sweaty.
The maid handed over a hot towel. Gao Maoxue looked at the fat and dark maid and felt disgusted.
The madam is too domineering. Not only is she not allowed to have any wives outside the palace, she doesn't even arrange a few young and pretty maids for him. This is simply going against the will of Heaven!
If it weren't for her family's power, I would have divorced him long ago!
Just when I was wondering whether I should go to the outer house again tonight, the old housekeeper suddenly came in a panic and reported that the owner of Huitong Bank was waiting in the flower hall and wanted to exchange a few bills.
The banking industry in Tianjin was very developed, but the Eight Great Families still set up a bank, not for the purpose of running money-lending business, but for internal money circulation.
After all, although the Eight Great Families are wealthy and powerful, when it comes to cash, no one can come up with much at once, especially the Gao family, whose wealth is mostly in the form of real estate, so they rely heavily on the banknote exchange to maintain cash flow.
The bill of exchange issued by Huitong Piaohao is a bill recognized by the eight major parties, and its function is similar to the acceptance in later generations.
Gao Maoxue's face darkened when he heard that someone from Huitong Ticket Office was coming to his door early in the morning.
He said with his hands behind his back, "This Shopkeeper Zhou is getting more and more ignorant as he gets older! How can anyone come to exchange a ticket so early in the morning!"
The manager of Huitong Ticket Office is rotated among different families, and this year it is the Zhou family's turn.
Gao Maoxue threw the hot towel to the maid and said, "Tell the kitchen to prepare the meal. Remember to serve the ginseng pigeon soup. I will go to the hall to meet him after breakfast."
The old housekeeper said with a bitter face, "The shopkeeper Zhou... said that this matter is of great importance, please come over immediately!"
"absurd!"
Gao Maoxue was furious. What the hell was this Shopkeeper Zhou doing?
As the patriarch of the Gao family, do I really have to go to see him?
But when I thought about it again, I felt something was wrong.
Shopkeeper Zhou is not mentally ill, so why does he dare to treat me like this?
Could something have happened?
Thinking of this, he felt annoyed. "Change my clothes for me. I want to see what he is up to!"
He went back to his room and changed into a silk undershirt, a double-breasted jacket, a bearskin cloak, and a sea dragon hat. Gao Maoxue looked extremely noble.
When we arrived at the flower hall, we saw the shopkeeper Zhou of Huitong Ticket Office, who was wearing a cotton robe and looked like an honest man, sitting there drinking tea.
As soon as they met, Gao Maoxue snorted coldly, "Manager Zhou, you got up early. Why don't you go to the bank to do your work, but come to my place to drink tea?"
Shopkeeper Zhou calmly put down the bowl and said, "Master Gao, the bank is really short of cash and needs to exchange some bills urgently."
"Cash is tight. Why is cash tight?"
Shopkeeper Zhou smiled slightly, "The Zhou, Zhang, and Wang families all said they have new businesses that require investment, and they all came to exchange bills, so we don't have enough cash."
