I still want to meet the elders! She secretly complained in her heart, but since the scene was so good, she might as well do it all - the people in line were still watching eagerly.
He immediately took Zhang Yu's name card and said, "Little brother, it's not that we won't make an appointment for you. There are prerequisites for making an appointment..."
At this point, her voice paused, and she secretly shouted in her heart: "Lucky, lucky to come and take a look!"
The reason why a supervisor can be a supervisor is not only because of her long service years, but also because she is more proficient in her business.
According to the relevant regulations of the General Office, the reception staff has the reception list of each elder. No matter who can see you at any time and who can only see you after asking for permission; who can make an appointment and who can only make an appointment under certain conditions... there are clear records.
And the records change with the passage of time and the changes in the location of the senators.
As a leader at the reception desk of the Great World Guest House, she can memorize the relevant roster of each senior resident in a short period of time. On the roster of veteran Hong Huangnan, "Zhang Yu, General Manager of Zhang Ji Food Company" is listed in the B category. That is to say, except when he is resting, meeting or telling "not to disturb", he is available at any time. You can see Elder Hong, and delivered letters or oral messages can be sent directly to his personal secretary instead of being opened and processed by the reception desk. If Elder Hong cannot see him for the time being, he will still make arrangements for an appointment.
If we really have to drive this kid back, something big will happen today! As long as Zhang Yu talks to Chief Hong, it will be a "second-level administrative incident." Zhang Yu is also the number one celebrity in Guangzhou who "supports the Senate". When he met with the elders and was unreasonably rejected, if he reported it to the "Group of Ten", it would not be a simple "administrative accident"!
Let’s see how I deal with you later!
She glared hard at the still angry clerk. He changed his expression and looked at the boy's face. He felt that it was very strange. Plus, after hearing the content of his quarrel with the clerk, he knew that this should be the new user next to Zhang Yu. This is easier to deal with.
At that moment, he said kindly: "Little brother, don't be anxious. This sister has just arrived here and is not familiar with the business. I will check the directory for you..." After that, he pretended to take out the directory and flipped through it, and said: "Mr. Hong I’ll have time the day after tomorrow. We’ll register you here.”
Hong Huangnan had no idea that Zhang Yu would cause such a drama when he saw him. These days, he has been traveling around Guangdong, setting up military stations in various places, organizing supplies, and occasionally choosing a location for his "joint logistics farm". He is extremely busy. When he returned to Guangzhou, he had just settled down and looked through the memorandum and application for a meeting, when he saw Zhang Yu's request to see him.
"There won't be another problem of insufficient funds." Hong Huangnan thought to himself. Suddenly something clicked in his mind, and he remembered the recently popular southward expansion plan and various financial plans.
Elder Hong was actually quite interested in advancing southward. As the main person in charge of joint logistics. The rich land in Southeast Asia naturally made him salivate. But he himself was not active in this regard. The reason is not surprising: Once the southward march begins, it will inevitably involve complex logistical support work.
Although the Nanyang case was promoted by the Nanyang Company as a commercial entity, it was essentially the same as the Senate personally going to work. It was nothing more than making more use of private capital. The required ships, rations, tools, agricultural tools, grain, building materials, population... still require the cooperation of various departments under the Senate to supply them. As a professional support force, the joint logistics team cannot escape this task.
Since there are disadvantages that cannot be escaped, it is normal to get some benefits as compensation. Therefore, a few days after the southward advance plan was announced, a small meeting was secretly held within the joint logistics department to make "work arrangements" for the southward advance.
Zhang Yu hurriedly came to see him, most likely because of the Nanyang Bonds that Delong started to issue recently.
As Zhang Yu's "benefactor", Hong Huangnan knows the Zhang family's financial situation better than anyone else. Although Zhang Yu never sent financial statements to Hong Huangnan, he came to give oral reports on business conditions almost once a month. Moreover, he also came forward to get Delong's policy loan. For the sake of loan security, Delong will also send him all relevant financial reports of the Zhang family.
He knew Zhang Ji's situation very well: money was extremely tight.
With such tight money, Zhang Yu could be considered to be doing well without applying for new loans. How could he think of buying bonds?
The interest rate on Nanyang Company's bonds is very low by the standards of this time and space, but as soon as the news of the bond issuance came out, the wealthy businessmen in Guangzhou were all ready to take action. Several large local companies who have dealings with Lianqin on weekdays also frequently visit to inquire about the threshold.
Hong Huangnan speculated that corporate bonds with interest rates far lower than the general local interest rates were so popular even before they were issued, probably because many wealthy households regarded them as "safety notes" and bought them. Obtaining bonds can bring you a false sense of security, and some people think that they can gain connections with the Senate.
Of course, they were all wrong. As our Liu Dafu said: This is purely a commercial behavior.
As for why Zhang Yu wanted to buy it, it was probably the same purpose as holding high these new rich people, setting an example - after all, they all relied on the Senate to get to where they are today. It would be impossible for them to not respond to such a big policy move.
To make a statement, there is no money. Needless to say, I came here to borrow money. With that being said, we have to see what this young man has planned.
"Let's arrange Zhang Yu's date for tomorrow night." Hong Huangnan said to her personal secretary.
"... I would like to ask Chief Hong for some advice on how to decide this matter." Zhang Yu told Gao Ji the exact story of how he sent someone to see him to deliver the message.
After saying that, he looked at Chief Hong. Hong Huangnan was wearing a long flowing nightgown made of poplin material and tied with a belt. She was casually leaning on an "Australian armchair" and drinking tea brought by the Australian maid. I don’t know what the tea was made from, but it exuded a bitter aroma. A look of laziness and enjoyment.
"There's still too much sugar," Mr. Hong said to the maid.
"I'll go get another drink."
"No."
Hong Huangnan picked up a small towel and wiped her mouth, nodding slightly, as she thought. he asked:
"Your thoughts?"
"I originally thought that since this bond was issued for the national policy of the Senate, and since we have received the favor of the Senate, it is our duty to purchase part of it to support the Senate. It's just..."
"Pockets are tight, aren't you."
"Yes! Mr. Gao is there, even if you don't need to be higher than him, it can't be too little."
This is the truth. Hong Huangnan nodded again: "Do you know how many bonds he is prepared to buy?"
"I don't know, but he specifically wrote to ask for information, and obviously wanted to compare himself with me. It was also a good intention to prevent him from buying too much, overpowering me and hurting his face..."
"You are very thoughtful," Hong Huangnan said with a smile. Zhang Yu really knew a lot about the twists and turns in this scene! "What do you think?"
"With his financial resources and status, if I don't have any concerns, buying it for 5,000 yuan shouldn't be a problem."
"You said it was less." Hong Huangnan shook his head and said, "With the huge financial resources, it is easy to buy 50,000 yuan. If you want to bet all his wealth and life, it is probably not a problem to spend 500,000 yuan."
"Yes, I am beyond your reach." Zhang Yu said with some shame.
"Haha, why are you ashamed? He is already a middle-aged man. He has worked hard in Guangzhou all his life. In the past, he had eunuchs as his backers. Later..." Hong Huangnan wanted to compare the eunuchs with the Senate, which was very inappropriate. "Later, he I'm involved in the business of Australian goods. Which one can you compare to in terms of financial resources, skills, or connections? But you are younger than him."
Zhang Yu knew in his heart that Elder Hong was not disgusted with him coming to ask for help. I was secretly happy in my heart and said hurriedly: "Yes! In addition to being young, I also have better luck than him! It all depends on fate and coincidence, and I meet noble people!"
Hong Huangnan smiled and thought that when it comes to luck, you are far worse than Gao Ju! What kind of luck was it that Wen, Wang and Xiao were in the backyard of his house? But he still got the benefit of the flattery. He asked: "Ignore what he thinks, how much do you plan to buy?"
Zhang Yu became more courageous, thinking that his boss, Mr. Hong, was clear and there was no need to hide it. explain:
"To tell the truth from my heart, I am already very lucky if I can pass the Lunar New Year's Eve safely. How can I dare to think of anything else! It's just that the market of Nanyang Company needs to be praised. To be honest with the chief, I plan to buy it. A thousand-dollar bond. But I moved around and borrowed all my family’s savings from my father, but I only got more than three hundred yuan.”
"You're short of money, what are you going to do?"
Zhang Yu's face suddenly turned red: "Please...please Chief Hong...help..."
Hong Huangnan already had an idea in his mind. He looked at Zhang Yu carefully and said, "I'll lend you the money. It doesn't cost 780, just a round sum of 1,000. It will last for three years." You give me an IOU, and the interest is 1/2!"
Zhang Yu was so happy that if the Australians weren't in the mood to kowtow, he would immediately kneel down and kowtow to Hong Huangnan three times.
Not to mention the interest is 1/2, he still has to borrow it even if it is 3/4.
Although I can't help but feel sorry for Gao Zhao's good intentions, the limit of one thousand yuan is considered to be the threshold, and I can barely handle it. He could no longer care whether he was decent or not.
"Thank you so much, Chief Hong!" Zhang Yu bowed, "Chief Hong's kindness to the Zhang family and Zhang Ji will be unforgettable for me!"
Hong Huangnan waved his hand and said, "It's boring to talk about this." He added, "One thousand yuan is a lot of money. It is enough to cover the expenses of one hundred medium-sized households in Guangzhou for a year. But this money It’s still missing compared to your identity.”
