Chapter 362 The last snow in 2002
In the last few days of the year, Populus euphratica has been living in the racecourse.
During the day, he occasionally goes to Huijia Holdings (Xijiang) Company to stay for a while, but most of the time he spends time at home with his parents and teasing his niece Xiaoxi.
On the 30th, Chen Jialin and Gao Mingkang flew to Xijiang. Among the people who arrived on that day were Lu Dacheng and Hu Yang's secretary Mi Qi.
On the 31st, Meng Rusong, Mu Shaoqing, Yan Hanzhang, Xia Bing, Xu Younian, Wan Qingshan, Huang Tao, Sa Hongli, Yang Chenglin, Ye Chong, Fei Zhijun, Wang Qingquan and others also arrived in Xijiang one after another.
The purpose of their arrival in Xijiang was not to attend any important meeting, but simply because Populus euphratica wanted to welcome the New Year with everyone.
The racecourse stopped all services to the outside world from the 30th. Dong Qi asked his employees to renovate the three villas and the guest rooms in the complex, and the restaurant also prepared various ingredients.
"Everyone, all the senior executives of Huijia Holdings and Huijia International Investment, as well as the senior executives of the 'Huijia Group', have gathered together to welcome the New Year. This is the first time."
On the evening of the 31st, Hu Yang held a welcome dinner at the member restaurant of the racecourse.
In addition to the familiar faces mentioned above, those attending the dinner also included senior executives from Huijia Holdings (Xijiang) Company, Xueling Food and Agricultural Technology Company, and even Huijia Venture Capital (North America) Company and Ripper Company
, also sent two representatives back to China.
"I propose that everyone drink this cup to the full and celebrate the New Year together."
Hu Yang looks high-spirited today. This is the first time he has formally proposed the concept of "Huijia System" in front of all the company's management.
"cheers!"
"cheers!"
Everyone, whether they could drink or not, drank this glass of wine.
Next, Hu Yang announced the official start of the dinner. He did not chatter at length, but gave his time to everyone present today.
The dinner menu is undoubtedly rich, with many delicacies flown in during these two days. In addition to Moutai and Yilitqu, the drinks also include French red wine, so you can drink as much as you like.
"Brother Hu, do you want to use this to build up morale? I think this is a good idea. It's really hard for these people to get together all year round."
Chen Jialin sat next to Hu Yang. He was very happy that Nishite Technology was clearly included in the Huijia system by Hu Yang.
Gao Mingkang also had the same idea, but it was a pity that Lu Yali was abroad and could not make it back.
Some of these people are familiar with each other, while others are strangers. For example, the Xueling Food Management Team, which has been in remote areas, and the senior executives of agricultural technology companies have seen the true face of the "Huijia Group" for the first time.
The area of the members' restaurant is not small, and Dong Qi even built a small stage. When Hu Yang gave a speech before, he stood on it.
After the dinner started, in order to heighten the atmosphere, Dong Qi specially arranged a song and dance performance. The performers were students from Xijiang Art Institute, and the program arrangement was quite cheerful.
Hu Yang didn't pay much attention to the performance on the stage. Not long after the dinner started, someone came over to toast him. These people can be said to be the backbone of his "Huijia group". Of course he couldn't refuse, and he drank it in a short time.
Seven or eight cups.
"Mr. Hu, you can't drink like this. I think it's better to take a break and see if anyone is willing to come up and sing a song?"
After everyone was a little drunk, the atmosphere at the scene became even more lively. Chen Jialin was also kind-hearted and suggested that everyone stop drinking and that those who have the ability should come on stage to show off their talents.
“Great idea!”
At this time, the performance on the stage came to an end. Hu Yang walked up to the stage, picked up the microphone, and shouted: "Mr. Chen from Nishite Technology proposed that everyone come on stage to have fun. Which one of you will come up to perform a show? Let's agree first, let's perform.
The people on the show have the right not to drink tonight."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xia Bing walked onto the stage gracefully.
Hu Yang said with a smile: "Our Mr. Xia from Huijia International Investment is still courageous and will not be outdone by women. Mr. Xia, what show are you planning to perform?"
Xia Bing also drank a lot of wine, and two red clouds flew on her cheeks. When she heard Populus euphratica ask herself, she said she wanted to sing a song.
There was no band prepared for the company's internal party. However, among the students from the art college, there were people who played guitar well. After communicating with Xia Bing, they used guitar accompaniment.
Xia Bing sang "Blue Rain" by Wen Lan, which is considered a popular song at this time. She has a good voice and her tone is relatively accurate. After singing the song, she received bursts of applause from the audience.
"Mr. Xia sang so well. Let's give her another round of applause. Who else is coming up?"
As soon as Hu Yang finished speaking, a man in his thirties came up. This man Hu Yang had some impression of was a vice president of Xueling Company.
Vice President Qi sang "Blue Lotus" by Xu Wei, which was also above the standard. After he finished singing, the atmosphere at the scene was basically ignited.
At this time, people in the audience started to boo, asking Mr. Hu to sing a song.
Hu Yang smiled, not wanting to live up to everyone's enthusiasm, so he walked over and borrowed a guitar. His guitar playing level was pretty good, and he mainly played and sang by himself to master the rhythm.
After adjusting the microphone, he stood up and started playing the prelude. He went back and forth several times, and he suddenly found the feeling, so he started singing:
The first snow in 2002
Came later than usual
The No. 2 bus parked on the eighth floor
Take away the last falling yellow leaf
.......
This is a famous song by Daolang, and it feels quite appropriate at this moment. However, this album will not be officially released for another year, so few people know this song.
After Populus euphratica finished singing, the scene was quiet for a full ten seconds, and then burst into long-lasting applause.
"Assistant Lin, it turns out that the boss sings so well. But do you know what the name of this song is? Why haven't I heard it before..."
Secretary Mi Qi had only been here for a short time and didn't know Hu Yang very well. She was so excited that her face turned red and she kept questioning Lin Yan.
Lin Yan smiled and shook her head, saying that she had never heard this song before. However, this song is really nice.
Chen Jialin, Gao Mingkang and others were not surprised. Hu Yang had sung in front of them before and knew that he had this talent.
At this time, Hu Yang had quietly walked off the stage and handed the microphone to Dong Qi. Everyone can continue to laugh while he rests.
The dinner lasted until 11:55 at night, and then everyone walked out of the restaurant and came to the snow-covered open space outside.
At 12 o'clock, the New Year's bell rang, and 2003 arrived as promised. Fireworks bloomed in the night sky. Everyone hoped that both the company and themselves would be better and better every year.
The next day.
On New Year's Day, Dong Qi organized everyone to go skiing in the mountains for a long time, and people began to return one after another on the afternoon of the 1st.
By January 2, almost everyone who came to participate in the event had left.
On this day, the New Year's special issue of the financial magazine was officially released, and a storm was quietly brewing, catching many people off guard.
In this issue of Financial Weekly, a reporter's investigative article was published. The title was not shocking, and the content was not very eye-catching. It was about this journalist friend's concerns about Xijiang Bandung Trust Products.
By the end of 2002, Xijiang Bandung's funds were actually very tight. Whether it was Pang Qianli's industrial integration plan or its operation mode of controlling the market and sitting on the bank, too much money had been consumed...
In this red situation, a trust company controlled by Xijiang Wanlong launched a trust product with a very high interest rate, which successfully attracted many customers to buy it.
The funds gathered solved Pang Qianli's urgent needs, but they also hid huge hidden dangers.
After New Year's Day, a large number of customers suddenly came to the sales department of the trust company and offered to redeem their trust products in advance, even if they lost a little interest.
Of course the trust company won't do it. The time has not expired yet, so we will ask everyone to come back in three months.
If this is a normal situation, this matter will be fine. Wouldn't it mean that I will get my money back three months later? Just be patient and wait.
But the situation is different now. There are rumors that the capital chain of Xijiang Bandung is broken, and it will be difficult to redeem trust products. The sooner you can get your money back, the sooner you can feel at ease.
People tend to follow the herd. When they first bought trust products for high interest rates, they came in droves. Now when they want to redeem and cash out, they come in crowds.
There is a very scary word in the financial industry called "run", and the current situation is developing in the worst direction.
This incident, of course, alarmed Pang Qianli.
But now that he has no large amount of funds to mobilize, he must either stop industrial integration or withdraw from the three stocks he controls. But no matter which plan is adopted, it will have unpredictable consequences.
"What's going on with this reporter? Why is he always at odds with us in Xijiang Bandung?"
Pang Qianli knew that it was already too late even if he took back and destroyed all this issue of the financial magazine.
He felt that he should use the old method. On the one hand, he quickly clarified the matter, and on the other hand, he sent legal letters to magazines and reporters, preparing to sue them for defamation.
It's a pity that it didn't work this time. Problems with the trust product were exposed. They were suspected of multiple violations and failed to pay customers in time. No matter what they said, it was useless.
Pang Qianli and his Xijiang Wanlong were in trouble for a while.
Hu Yang didn't care much about this matter. After New Year's Day, he went to Xueling Food and Agricultural Technology Company for an inspection. When he came back, he received a call from Wu Di.
Wu Di said that he had something to discuss with him, so he took the time to go to Wu Di's office and met with him.
"Yang Yang, do you know about the illegal high-interest issuance of Xijiang Bandung trust products? Do you think Pang Qianli can pass the test this time?"
This time, Wu Di also doubted whether someone was behind it.
