Chapter 64: Capital Operations
“Old Jiang, there’s really no need for this,” Xu Yang said with a bitter smile.
“Xu Yang, just sign it,” Jiang Yuheng urged again. “My dad said if you don’t sign, I shouldn’t bother coming home anymore. You can’t let me end up homeless, can you?”
“…” Xu Yang was somewhat at a loss whether to laugh or cry, but he could only agree helplessly and signed the contract.
With that, Xu Yang had become a shareholder of Wan Da Film and Television Company.
Although he only held three percent of the shares, this stake was not taken lightly by any tycoon in the film and television industry.
“Right, remember the last time we had dinner together, you mentioned your wife works at a bank, right?” Jiang Yuheng asked.
Last time, when they had dinner with Lin Junyi and the others, they learned a bit about each other’s situations.
Jiang Yuheng knew that Xu Yang had resigned from his company and was just trading stocks and futures at home, looking for something else to do.
As for Zhao Yuxin, she worked at a bank.
“Yes, what about it?” Xu Yang asked, puzzled, not understanding why Jiang Yuheng was bringing this up.
“Here’s the thing, my dad is the chairman of the Southwest Chamber of Commerce. The member companies of the chamber have established a special investment fund, and I’ve been busy setting it up lately. It’s pretty much taken care of now.”
“Next Tuesday, the funds from the member companies will be in place, totaling one billion.”
“This money needs to be entrusted to a bank for custody, and quite a few banks have approached us. We’re currently discussing which bank should hold the custody.”
“I remembered your wife works in a bank, so let’s just entrust it to the bank she works for,” he suggested.
Jiang Yuheng explained a bit.
“Wouldn’t this cause any trouble for you and your dad?”
For Zhao Yuxin, of course, this was good news.
Working at a bank, performance is required.
Funds amounting to one billion are a large sum for any bank.
This kind of cooperation between the two parties is long-term.
Once a custodial agreement is signed, barring any unforeseen circumstances, it is unlikely to change banks.
This special investment fund, if managed well, could see an increase in funds in the future.
The investment projects of so many companies working together are generally very stable.
Just on these points alone, this deal would greatly enhance Zhao Yuxin’s importance at the bank.
There’s no doubt, this was also Jiang Yuheng’s way of expressing his gratitude.
However, Xu Yang worried that such an arrangement could negatively affect Jiang Yuheng and his father.
He didn’t want to cause any trouble for Jiang Yuheng and his father because of himself.
That was not something he wished to see.
“There won’t be any negative effects, it’s all within my authority to decide. The opinions of the members are just for reference. Wherever I say the fund should be entrusted, it will be entrusted,” Xu Yang explained.
“That’s good, I’ll talk to my wife about it. You’ll have someone contact her later, I’ll send you her phone number,” he replied.
As long as there were no negative effects, Xu Yang sent Zhao Yuxin’s phone number to Jiang Yuheng.
“Alright, I’ll have the financial manager of the fund contact your wife to take care of it. We’ll open a special account tomorrow, and the funds should be in place the day after,” Jiang Yuheng said.
“Thank you,” Xu Yang expressed his gratitude.
“There’s no need for formalities between us,” Jiang Yuheng said with a smile. “By the way, I heard from Old Lin that you bought a live streaming guild and even signed him to your guild. Under your guidance, he started creating videos, transformed into a food exploration broadcaster, and has now become quite the internet celebrity.”
Xu Yang smiled and nodded, “Yes, I think brother Yi had a good point about there being potential in the short video field. I’m not someone who likes to be in front of the camera like brother Yi, so I simply bought a live streaming guild. Yi was not famous before mainly because he hadn’t found the right niche. I just tailor-made videos based on his personality and strengths, that’s all.”
Jiang Yuheng said, “That’s quite impressive. I watched his latest video; it’s really funny and attractive. It makes people want to go and spend money at those restaurants. I thought his previous outdoor entertainment content was just average.”
After chatting and finishing their meal, the two parted ways.
When Xu Yang got home, he told Zhao Yuxin about the Southwest Chamber of Commerce special investment fund entrusting one billion in funds to her bank.
Zhao Yuxin was greatly surprised when she heard this.
The bank president had mentioned this matter to all the staff, asking everyone to activate their networks to try to secure this business deal.
Moreover, there was a promise of a significant reward for whoever landed the deal.
Besides the president’s position, they could choose any other position they wanted.
Zhao Yuxin knew her own situation and had no expectations of securing such a business deal.
She hadn’t mentioned this matter to Xu Yang.
Little did she know, Jiang Yuheng’s father was actually the president of the Southwest Chamber of Commerce. Jiang Yuheng was also responsible for preparing the investment fund of the Southwest Chamber of Commerce and had the decisive power to entrust the funds to the bank where she worked.
One could imagine that, after this was done, she would no longer be a newcomer in the bank, but definitely an employee that even the president would regard highly.
For someone who had been working at the bank for less than half a year, this was an immense surprise.
…
Monday.
As soon as Zhao Yuxin arrived at the bank, she received a call from the financial manager of the Southwest Chamber of Commerce Investment Fund, who explained the situation and inquired about when it would be suitable to come to the bank to open an account.
This financial manager was very polite.
After all, this was a task personally assigned by Jiang Yuheng; she had to be courteous.
She even suspected that Jiang Yuheng was interested in pursuing Miss Zhao Yuxin.
After Jiang Yuheng offered an explanation, the financial manager realized the misunderstanding.
It turned out that Miss Zhao Yuxin was the wife of a good friend of Jiang Yuheng.
Entrusting the funds to the bank where Zhao Yuxin worked was a gesture of goodwill to his good friend.
“You can come over at any time; I’ll make time for it,” Zhao Yuxin replied.
“Alright, I’ll be there at ten o’clock, see you then,” said the fund’s financial manager.
“Okay, see you then.”
After hanging up the phone, Zhao Yuxin went to find the president to report the situation.
The president was both surprised and excited.
He had not held much hope for this matter to begin with.
After all, he was very aware of his own and his employees’ capabilities.
The chance of securing this business deal was virtually nil.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Yuxin had brought him such a great surprise.
It seemed that Zhao Yuxin was not as simple as she appeared to be.
“Xiao Zhao, can you tell me how you did it?” the president asked, looking deeply at Zhao Yuxin.
“President, the son of the Southwest Chamber of Commerce president, Jiang Yuheng, is responsible for establishing and operating this investment fund. My husband happens to be his friend. When Jiang Yuheng learned that I work at the bank, he decided to entrust the funds to our bank,” Zhao Yuxin answered honestly without hiding anything.
“Your husband is friends with the son of the Southwest Chamber of Commerce president, Jiang Yuheng?” the president’s eyes lit up.
He did not know about this.
He only knew that Zhao Yuxin was already married, as she had distributed wedding candy to everyone in the bank.
At the time, he had casually asked what Zhao Yuxin’s husband did for a living.
Zhao Yuxin said he worked at a listed company.
He hadn’t thought much of it at the time, but now it seemed that Zhao Yuxin’s husband was not so simple.
He had also heard that Jiang Yuheng was a top-level rich second generation in Jiangcheng.
If her husband was friends with Jiang Yuheng, didn’t that mean that Zhao Yuxin’s husband was also a top-level rich second generation?
