Chapter 991 Chao County Changes
A stable return of 30% cannot be guaranteed in any business in this world. Otherwise, why would those businessmen deposit their money in banks? Isn’t it because the interest rate offered by banks is more stable and higher than that of their own business?
If it was just about attracting deposits with high interest rates, perhaps Shao Heping would not be too worried. After all, the bank had a high debt from the beginning. In such a situation, it is understandable to absorb some funding sources through some necessary means and then gradually find ways to solve the problem.
But the problem is that when Shao Heping learned what the shareholders did after the bank absorbed a large amount of savings, he was completely disappointed with the bank.
Because as Song Chaoyuan reminded, when banks absorbed a large amount of savings in these ways, they did not invest these savings in normal banking operations, but directly used the money to convert the high debts that were originally injected into the bank as capital and then distributed them to shareholders.
This is equivalent to using depositors' money to make up for their previous losses in the bursting of the real estate bubble, and it can also be used to resolve liabilities and equity investment when the bank was established.
What Song Yuanchao worried about did happen. This bank became a "cash machine" for these shareholders. The money deposited by depositors was converted into cash by the shareholders once it passed through the bank and flowed into the shareholders' pockets. So does this bank still have a future?
For this reason, Shao Heping was worried, as he had seen what the end of this bank would be. No wonder Song Chaoyuan decisively interrupted the original negotiations and directly rejected the plan to invest in this bank.
Shao Heping judged the result, but he had no way to deal with the situation. He was merely the person in charge of Lucheng, and most of the shareholders of this bank were professionals in the industry. Don’t they understand what the result would be?
But he still did it, which made Shao Heping think of what Song Chaoyuan said before he left, which is that the head is determined by the butt. Where your butt sits, that's the idea. As for the rest, if the sky falls, there will naturally be tall people to hold it up. What does it have to do with you?
Therefore, Shao Heping could not stop it, and could only take care of his own business and try to avoid being involved in the whirlpool that might occur in the future. Even though his decision attracted criticism, Shao Heping still insisted on doing so, and at the same time took the time to deal with the problems left over from before.
Compared to the troubled Shao Heping, Lin Yuhang's life is much more glorious.
Lin Yuhang has been in office in Chao County for several years. During these years, he has made considerable changes to Chao County's economy through various means. With the success of several companies in Chao County, especially Snow Leopard Leather, Lin Yuhang took advantage of Chao County's leather industry and made Chao County a well-known leather base in China.
Now, Chao County's leather industry is developing rapidly, and snow leopard leather has become famous both at home and abroad. The annual output value and benefits created are obvious to all.
In addition, the restructuring of the Xieqiao Pickle Factory was also very successful. Now the pickles of Xieqiao Food Group have become another brand of Chaoxian County. After Song Yuanchao invested in Xieqiao Pickles, there have been great improvements in both technology and output. Especially since the small-packaged Xieqiao Pickles for tourism were put on the market two years ago, they have attracted consumers in terms of taste and packaging and have achieved great success.
The listing of Xieqiao Food Group is also under preparation. This will be the first listed company in Chao County. In later generations, the first listed company in Chao County was Tiantong, which was listed in 2001. Now, several years earlier than Tiantong's listing, Xieqiao Food Group has obtained the opportunity to go public. Under Song Yuanchao's operation, the preparations for the listing have been completed. If there are no accidents, it will be successfully listed on the Shanghai Stock Exchange by the end of this year.
More than half a year ago, Lin Yuhang was promoted from the top leader of the government to the top leader of Chao County. His promotion this time is not only an affirmation of Lin Yuhang's work in Chao County, but also officially opens the curtain of the Lin Yuhang era in Chao County.
In fact, at the beginning of this year, Lin Yuhang had the opportunity to go directly to a better place to work. His superiors were very satisfied with Lin Yuhang's work in Chao County and talked to Lin Yuhang.
According to the superiors' idea, they originally wanted Lin Yuhang to serve as the deputy mayor of Lin City and continue to be in charge of economic work. Or they could transfer Lin Yuhang to the province to be responsible for the specific work of attracting investment. Both positions are good. The former is a deputy director level, which is equivalent to a promotion. Although the latter has the same level, the power and status are much more important, and there will be greater opportunities for advancement in the future.
But all these suggestions were rejected by Lin Yuhang. He frankly told his superiors that what he had done in Chao County was just the beginning, and there were still many ideas and plans that had not been completed. If he was transferred from Chao County now, many of his previous things would be abandoned halfway, so he hoped that the leaders would proceed according to the actual situation and let him continue to stay in Chao County, at least until he truly developed Chao County before leaving.
Because of Lin Yuhang's insistence, the leaders finally agreed to Lin Yuhang's request after understanding the actual situation and listening to Lin Yuhang's future plans for Chao County. At that time, the former top leader of Chao County arrived at the station. After discussion, several leaders simply proposed that Lin Yuhang take over as the top leader. This suggestion was agreed by the provincial leaders. In this way, Lin Yuhang took over the previous top leader and truly took control of the future development of Chao County.
"Secretary Lin, it's almost time. We should leave." There were two knocks on the office door. Lin Yuhang's secretary pushed the door open and reminded Lin Yuhang, who was sitting at his desk looking at documents.
Lin Yuhang raised his wrist to check his watch, then put down the documents in his hand: "Go arrange a car, I'll be down right away."
The secretary nodded in response, then closed the door and left. After the secretary left , Lin Yuhang opened the drawer, took out a bottle of eye drops, raised his head and dripped two drops. After dripping, he closed his eyes and waited for a while, then wiped them with a handkerchief.
Lin Yuhang's eyesight was not good to begin with. He lost one eye after being injured on the battlefield, but the other eye was intact. He was busy with work these years and had to deal with many documents. He read too many documents every day, and his good eye always felt tired. Some time ago, Lin Yuhang returned to Shanghai at Luo Lin's request and went to the ENT hospital not far from Song Chaoyuan's home to see an expert.
After examining him, the expert told Lin Yuhang to be careful with his eyes, because he had injured one eye, and the good eye would easily get tired, and fatigue would affect his vision. At the same time, the expert prescribed some medicine for Lin Yuhang, including this kind of eye drops. Speaking of which, this eye drops is really good. Whenever Lin Yuhang feels uncomfortable, he drops a few drops and then rests for a while and he will feel much better.
After resting for a few minutes, Lin Yuhang stood up and walked to the side, took down the coat hanging on the hanger and put it on, then took the briefcase beside him.
When he walked out of the office, his secretary was already waiting for him outside the corridor. Seeing Lin Yuhang coming out, the secretary quickly took his briefcase and whispered to him that the car was waiting downstairs.
He went downstairs with his secretary and got into the car parked downstairs. Lin Yuhang sat in the back seat and the secretary sat in the passenger seat. The car slowly drove out of the compound and then drove away.
Half an hour later, the car arrived at a place that was adjacent to the national road and also close to the expressway that had just been planned but not yet built.
This place does not belong to the urban area of Chaoxian County, but its location is very good. To the northeast is the national highway leading directly to Shanghai, and to the southwest is the direction to the provincial capital. In addition, there are several county roads and township roads connecting it, making it very convenient.
As soon as the car stopped, several cadres who had been waiting came forward, led by a slightly plump middle-aged man.
He walked quickly forward and opened the back door before Secretary Lin Yuhang got out of the car. He bent over slightly with a smile on his face, holding the door with one hand and holding the door with the other, and said to Lin Yuhang: "Hello, Secretary Lin. On behalf of all the cadres and comrades in our town, I welcome your inspection."
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a warm applause at the scene. Several men and women who looked like cadres stood behind the middle-aged man with smiles on their faces, waiting for Lin Yuhang to get out of the car.
"Comrade Zhijia, didn't I tell you that there was no need for so many people to come? Why are there so many of them?" Lin Yuhang got out of the car and frowned slightly as he looked at the large group of people at the scene.
"Secretary Lin, you are here to inspect the work. Our whole town is looking forward to your arrival. We also asked our comrades to come here to listen to your views and criticisms on the work so that we can better carry out the subsequent work. If you think this is inappropriate, how about I let them go back first? Leave a few comrades on the project to accompany them?" Liu Zhijia explained to Lin Yuhang in a low voice. He is the top leader of the town. Although this guy does not look impressive, he is actually a very capable person. Otherwise, he would not have risen from an ordinary cadre to his current position in just over a decade.
However, although Liu Zhijia is good at dealing with people and can also get things done, his ability is still good among the middle-level cadres in Chao County.
Lin Yuhang has worked in the army, served as a leader in a company, and now works in the local area. Naturally, he has his own way of employing people.
People are like this, there are all kinds of people, and everyone is selfish, and everyone has different personalities and styles. It is impossible for a leader to only use some people and exclude others. Such a leader is not conducive to unity and will not do good things.
A true leader should be good at using all kinds of people, and should use his subordinates to their strengths. Just like Liu Zhijia, this guy is not only good at dealing with things, but also likes to drink on weekdays, and sometimes he will curse when he gets angry. However, he also has his advantages, that is, he has strong execution ability, and he can do all the work assigned to him by the leader without compromise.
Before coming here today, Lin Yuhang specifically asked his secretary to call Liu Zhijia. He originally planned to have Liu Zhijia invite a few comrades in charge of the project to go for a walk together with Liu Zhijia to understand the current progress of the project.
Unexpectedly, Liu Zhijia had called almost all the cadres in the town and waited for Lin Yuhang with great fanfare. Lin Yuhang knew what this guy was thinking, but he didn't get angry at Liu . He soon calmed down, nodded with a smile, and walked up to shake hands with other comrades in the town one by one.
