Chapter 979 New Changming
Chapter 979 New Changming
Fu Changming was originally a coal miner, and was a gangster for a while in the 1990s. At that time, he followed He Yuzhu in Lincheng (see the Handong chapter for details, when Yi Xuexi was the director of the Lincheng Public Security Bureau). Then, for some reason, the boss He Yuzhu was beaten to death on the street, and they divided the luggage. Fu Changming also stole a lot of money from the safe and ran back to Jingzhou.
His hometown is in Jingzhou. With the start-up capital, Fu Changming followed Qian Rongcheng to work in the coal mine. Qian Rongcheng later switched to the steel industry without taking him with him, and the two gradually parted ways.
But what was even more coincidental was that while working in the coal mine, Fu Changming met Li Yuanchao, who introduced him to Lin Manjiang, who was the general manager of Jingzhou Zhongfu at the time.
At that time, the coal business was in its booming stage. Li Yuanchao wanted to get involved in every business. He found that Fu Changming was very obedient and smart, so he chose him as a white glove for Lin Manjiang.
The ill-fated relationship between the three also started from the coal mine. A few years later, the coal industry began to decline. Li Yuanchao suggested that the group engage in insurance. He happened to have acquired an insurance company in Hong Kong, so he could bring the whole model over and roll it out across the country.
However, the start-up capital for insurance is not like when Fu Changming first started his coal mining business, where he could just start his business with more than one million stolen money. The start-up capital for the insurance industry requires at least one billion yuan.
This is when Lin Manjiang came up with an idea and directly siphoned off 4.7 billion yuan of state-owned funds to give to Fu Changming. With the 4.7 billion yuan Lin Manjiang paid, he took 1 billion yuan as transaction fees.
Lin Manjiang had shares in the insurance company that were equal to those of Li Yuanchao. Fu Changming was just an employee who got 5% of the shares, but all his personal expenses could be paid through public accounts. Fu Changming was a genuine tycoon, as his personal expenses amounted to tens of millions each year.
Li Yuanchao has always valued Fu Changming because he is good at running a company, is good at employing people, and is good at controlling his subordinates.
Li Zhen is one of them and is also the successor of Changming Insurance chosen by Han Chao.
Li Zhen just threw down his Buddhist beads. Oh, this string of Buddhist beads was because Fu Changming was extremely superstitious about Buddhism. He dressed himself up like a real old monk all day long, sitting on the 68th floor of Changming Palace to meditate and chant scriptures.
If someone passes by in a helicopter, they will find that the 68th floor is taller than the third floor. There is a huge golden Buddha statue inside. The whole atmosphere does not look like a business at all. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a temple.
In order to please Fu Changming, Li Zhen's subordinates were all equipped with Buddhist beads. When the insurance company held a high-level meeting, a group of people sat on cushions.
Li Zhen was disgusted by the sight of him wearing a suit and tie, crossing his Buddhist beads and reporting on his work.
But there is nothing I can do. He is the boss and I am taking his money. I just have to endure it.
Just as he was daydreaming, Li Zhen turned on the light in the living room, and then he jumped three feet high in fright, because there was a person sitting upright on the sofa in his house with his eyes closed. This scene was as weird as it could be.
"You, you, who are you?"
The person sitting on the sofa was naturally Li Yuanchao's son-in-law Han Chao. After hearing this voice, he made a judgment.
"This person is capable, but timid and easy to control, so he is suitable for support."
Leaders who have strong personal abilities and a strong desire for control actually do not like subordinates with strong personalities, because they like to have things in their own hands, no matter how big or small.
Han Chao is such a person, while his father-in-law Li Yuanchao is another type of leader. He is full of confidence, good at delegating power and using people.
Li Yuanchao likes to use people like Fu Changming, who are ambitious, capable, have ideas and can get things done.
“Don’t be surprised, you can call me President Han or you can call me Boss.
To be precise, most of your salary is paid by me."
(Actually, it was Li Yuanchao who paid the bill. His father-in-law was the boss. Han Chao was just bragging.)
Li Zhen had long known that Fu Changming was actually a professional manager like him, but the major shareholders were hidden behind the scenes. Otherwise, how could Changming Insurance's expansion into the country be so smooth, with several major banks providing support and local governments lining up to welcome it.
But this boss is a bit young.
Seeing that Li Zhen was still a little unconvinced, Han Chao stood up and threw him a document. This was a top-secret document of Changming Insurance, concerning the development direction for the next few years. It was handed to him by Fu Changming yesterday.
But the one in front of him was obviously not the one Li Zhen got yesterday. It was more detailed and contained some explosive political and business secrets. No one else could take it out except the boss.
"Han, President Han."
Li Zhen has always been a coward, he slid to his knees quickly, and Han Chao nodded with satisfaction.
"Very well, I'll be frank.
Normally, any instructions I give are given to Fu Changming to execute, and I will never contact you or anyone else without authorization.
Just like the last time I acquired the two mines in Jingzhou Zhongfu, which cost 4.7 billion yuan, it was because I had another use for it that I ordered Fu Changming to do it.
You are the one who is in charge of the final negotiations, and you should know very well that this transaction is completely inconsistent with normal business logic. This is the secret.
However, the environment is changing very quickly and I have to adapt to it.”
Li Zhen had no idea what the last sentence meant, and Han Chao had no intention of explaining it.
“You don’t need to know too much.
In short, I plan to give up Fu Changming."
As soon as these words came out, Li Zhen immediately understood the purpose of looking for him, but he didn't dare to ask in detail.
"Fu Changming is too rough and doesn't follow the rules. I will hand him over to the police this time. Based on what he did in the past and his criminal record, he will definitely be punished.
It's time for you to take action. I hope you will succeed Fu Changming and become the chairman of Changming Group, and take back Fu Changming's shares.
But I will keep the profits. As long as you do a good job, you can get hundreds of millions in dividends every year.
What you need to do is stabilize the situation within Changming Group and ensure a smooth transition."
What Han Chao didn't say was that Lin Manjiang would be caught sooner or later. Lin Manjiang was an official, and his shares were originally held on his behalf by the foundation. Once Lin Manjiang was arrested, he could just give his son a few hundred million and think of it as a charity, and then he could directly take over all the shares of Changming Group.
According to Chang Ming Insurance's current performance, if it were brought to Hong Kong or listed on the stock market, it would be another feast, and hundreds of billions of dollars could be easily cut from the leeks.
Just by relying on these few operations, Han Chao can greatly gain points in Li Yuanchao's eyes. None of those useless sons can compare to him.
