Chapter five hundred and sixty-three community of interests
Sitting in the living room of Xiao Manyao's villa, Chen Hongtao's luxurious arrangement that was dazzling to the living room, looked around and looked like a country bumpkin had entered the palace.
In Xiao Manyao's villa, it is easily infected by nobleness and grace. Its astonishing European aristocratic decoration seems to represent a world of high above and a few people. It is not only a symbol of power, but also a symbol of the Jin and Yuan Empire.
In the exquisite double-layer thick glass duplex living room, you can enjoy the view of the villa group of the large garden. The design and materials of the living room are meticulous. Italian leather sofas and cashmere carpets are already of great value. The 8 floor-to-ceiling curtains are opened, and the warm afternoon sunlight reflects the living room, which makes it magnificently decorated.
The most eye-catching thing is the sight of gold in the living room. Detailed decorations such as door handles are covered with gold, gilded homes, and aquariums of more than ten meters. They are elegant and refined in their style. They are surprising and admire the power of money.
"Manyao, your family is almost as grand as the palace." Chen Hongtao looked around for a while before smiling at Xiao Manyao.
Xiao Manyao carefully and patiently cut a cigar for Chen Hongtao, and drew a long match to help light it: "Boss, your dream house in Central Park, New York, is far inferior to my little villa."
"Don't worry, as long as you do well with your ability, you will have everything." Chen Hongtao looked as if I was optimistic about you.
Xiao Manyao looked straight at Chen Hongtao and smiled and said, "If the boss likes it, how about staying in my villa? After all, the conditions in the hotel are a little worse. I'm afraid, you're not used to it, the boss."
"Okay, then I've been disturbing you for two days. It's always a good thing to be able to live more comfortably." Chen Hongtao nodded with a smile.
When he heard that Chen Hongtao was really going to live, not only Xiao Manyao, but also Bella, who was sitting in the living room, looked a little strange.
"Mr. Chen. You probably won't come to play when you come to the Soviet Union this time, right?" Although Bella had a smile on her face, her words were a little bit resembled.
"I am thinking about expanding the business of Mingzhu Century Bank to the Soviet Union. I have introduced it to you before. This is Lynn, the vice president of Century Bank. In the future, he will be the main person in charge of Century Bank's development of Soviet business." Chen Hongtao looked at Bella calmly and said.
Although Lin En didn't understand Russian, after seeing Chen Hongtao's recommendation, he stood up politely and shook hands with Bella and Xiao Manyao solemnly.
"I have heard of some of the situation of Century Bank, but the current economic and political situation in the Soviet Union is in a turbulent situation. Boss, if you want to develop banking business in the Soviet Union at this time, is the time really good?" Xiao Manyao reminded on the surface, but actually implicitly inquiry.
"You don't know that the competition in the banking industry in the United States is too fierce now. It just so happens that the Soviet Union is carrying out economic reform and opening up, so I am thinking about avoiding competition with those banking giants and occupying the market here first. At this time, regular business is believed to be with you two to help. It should be able to help the banking business smoothly and spread it out in the Soviet Union, right?" Chen Hongtao looked frank.
"I have an acquaintance on the central bank, so it is probably not a problem to join the company. For formal banking business, as long as you abide by the law, I believe there will be no obstacles. I just don't know how big your goal is, your boss?" Xiao Manyao looked at the pretty young Lin En.
"Conservatively estimated that there are 2,140 cities in the Soviet Union now. Since our banks are going to do it, they will certainly have to take the lead and occupy the market. It is estimated that there will be more than 5,000 branches to open." Chen Hongtao smiled and took a sip of the black tea that the servant came up with.
After coming to Xiao Manyao's villa, there were no less than 8 servants just watching the greeting, including an old housekeeper.
Xiao Manyao took a breath: "Not to mention the funds needed to spread the bank, just opening so many branches is not something that can be done in a short time. Many of these details need to be handled, which is a long-term process."
"It's okay, I'm still very patient. Industrial business is not easy. Now the groups under Mingzhu Holdings have hardly produced too good benefits." Chen Hongtao looked relaxed and had no intention of being anxious.
"If you can agree with the boss, acquisition is a good choice. By acquiring a large bank with radiation light in the Soviet Union, it has reached the foundation of the support platform. In this way, if you expand on this basis, your efficiency and foundation will be much better." Xiao Manyao said thinking.
"The key is to see if there is a suitable one. Now most of the banks in the Soviet Union are state-owned banks. Now the Soviet Union opens its banking system, which allows the existence of privatized banks. However, if you want to acquire them here, only by accumulating large state-owned banks can we have a strong foundation. Are you sure about this?" Chen Hongtao looked at Xiao Manyao and asked with a smile.
Xiao Manyao did not answer Chen Hongtao's words immediately, but got up from the top and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window in the living room: "Now the Soviet Union is singing and dancing on the surface, but in fact it is very restless. Reform and the trend of respecting beauty is rising. Many fixed assets that originally belonged to the country and were insignificant have plans to sell foreign investors. If the joints can be opened and operated well, it will be profitable not only the assets of the bank, but also other assets, not to mention that we are formally acquiring. As long as we have sufficient money to support, this vast land in the future may become the cradle of our development and growth."
Feeling the graceful and luxurious aura revealed by Xiao Manyao, Chen Hongtao couldn't help but smile: "Now it seems that there was nothing wrong with asking you to come to the Soviet Union to develop."
Hearing Xiao Manyao's statement, although there was a complex and strange color in Bella's beautiful eyes, she did not express surprise and hostility, as if there was a very in-depth communication between the two women.
"In fact, if you have a partner, the operation of Century Bank will be easier here. Boss, you can even sit and enjoy the benefits and wait for the banking business to expand throughout the Soviet Union." Xiao Manyao turned around and smiled and tentatively asked Chen Hongtao.
"Century Bank developed with the original intention of privatizing banks. It has a special importance for the major groups of the entire Mingzhu Group. It must keep the blood pure. If other shareholders join in, it will inevitably have an impact on the entire Mingzhu Group." Chen Hongtao laughed.
Xiao Manyao shook her head slightly and said, "Boss, you have a strong influence in both the political and economic circles of the United States, but this is the Soviet Union. If Mingzhu Holdings poses as if they are eating alone, I'm afraid no one will work hard for you."
"This problem is actually easy to solve. We can set up a comprehensive group for operating shopping malls and hotels here while maintaining our purity of the bloodline. At that time, I will pay the money. You will be the legal person of the group and appropriately divide the shares to form a community of interests. I believe that as long as the management is done properly, many people will get satisfactory returns." Chen Hongtao smiled and gave Xiao Manyao's response.
"Boss, do you want to use my Shengfan Trading Company as a carrier for the plan to establish a community of interests?" Xiao Manyao keenly noticed Chen Hongtao's intention at this time and deliberately said mine a little more seriously.
"Yes, but Shengfan Trading Company is a little smaller after all. I will also inject some funds into it to expand its scale, and make it more competitive. In the future, although this trading company is held by Mingzhu Holdings on the surface, I can secretly divide the shares in the form of verbal commitments. If the company's profitability is good, it will pay dividends to shareholders every six months. Of course, I will officially distribute your shares to you at that time, that is, you are the actual shareholder of the company." Chen Hongtao explained to Xiao Manyao with his lips upturned.
Although there was a strange color hidden deep in Xiao Manyao's beautiful eyes, she was still calm and did not express her dissatisfaction in person.
Although the prosperous trade developed by Xiao Manyao is nominally hers, she is inseparable from Chen Hongtao’s support.
The way for foreign trade transfer was provided by Chen Hongtao, and in the early stage he secretly provided 5 million yuan. The reason why Xiao Manyao was able to gain huge benefits in foreign trade transfer during this period was inseparable from Chen Hongtao's support in China. Otherwise, after she became a Soviet citizen, the foreign trade company opened in China through relationships would have no support at all.
Until this time, Xiao Manyao was really suspicious that the domestic foreign trade companies were ordered to be closed down, and Chen Hongtao deliberately grabbed her by the neck to control her firmly.
"Boss, how much do you plan to increase your capital in the expected trading group?" Xiao Manyao looked cautious, and her elegant and luxurious temperament also restrained a lot.
"How much actual net assets do you have in Shengfan Trading now?" This was the first time Chen Hongtao asked Xiao Manyao about his family background.
"It's about 4 million rubles." Xiao Manyao just hesitated and reported a number that was not much different from the actual situation.
Although foreign trade transfer makes money, the Shengfan Trading Company established by Xiao Manyao in the Soviet Union does not have much actual assets. At present, the domestic foreign trade companies have been blocked, which means that the financial path for foreign trade transfer has been cut off. This also makes Xiao Manyao rationally feel that she has to rely on Chen Hongtao, the big chaebol in front of her.
What can 4 million rubles do? If you want to turn things around in the huge Soviet Union, this capital is not absolutely sufficient. Once you want to completely get rid of Chen Hongtao's control, you will be even more jealous. Xiao Manyao can still distinguish which one is more important, especially when the foreign trade transfer route is cut off, Xiao Manyao is even more uncautious.
"It's already very good to have 4 million rubles left. Although you operate well in the Soviet military and political system, your expenses are also very high. I will inject 50 million US dollars into Shengfan Trading, and at that time I will also allocate 15% of the shares of the Trade Group. What do you think?" Chen Hongtao looked at Xiao Manyao with a smile.
