"As for his suspicion that I cheated on him, he actually didn't. Even if I had an intimate relationship with another man, it wouldn't be considered cheating. I had divorced him a long time ago. Before that, Li Jin and I had nothing.
occur."
"Although nothing has happened now."
When he said the last sentence, Li Songci sighed, looking quite defeated.
Such a good opportunity was missed last night. It will be difficult to find a chance to defeat Li Jin next time.
That guy is so smart and difficult to deal with that he can stay awake even if he drinks like that.
Li Songci even maliciously speculated whether Li Jin was still a man.
Paulson listened to Li Songci's words quietly, and after she finished speaking, he said slowly: "Frankly speaking, if Li Jin appeared before you got married, I would fully support your choice of Li Jin."
Li Songci chuckled and said: "When I was forced to marry Wharton for the benefit of the family, I didn't see you standing up and saying a word to me."
"It was a special situation at that time. What's more, this is a family matter of your Li family. I am just an outsider. At most, I will take care of you on your father's behalf after he passes away."
"Okay, Mr. Chairman, you made an agreement with me not to talk about our personal feelings in the investment bank." Li Songci obviously didn't want to continue on this topic.
"Okay, let's talk about something else. What do you plan to do in the future? This question is regarded as my, the chairman's, inspection of you, the new president of the Asia-Pacific region." Paulson said.
"What else can we do? Make the Asia-Pacific region stronger and bigger, strive to become the one with the best performance among the five regions under the headquarters, and then successfully use this springboard to enter the board of directors of the head office, so that you can retire two years early." Li
Song Ci chuckled.
"When you went to be the general manager of the Asia-Pacific region, I told you that the situation in the Asia-Pacific region is very complicated and not as simple as you imagined. Many people are not willing to see a powerful China emerge..."
Having said this, Paulson took a deep look at Li Songci and said, "Among these, suppressing the path of Chinese private enterprises towards internationalization and globalization is a very important one!"
"This point, not to mention me, the entire shareholders meeting of Gaosheng Investment Bank cannot resist. As the second heir to the Li family, you should understand better than me that business is often dependent on political survival."
Li Songci frowned: "You mean that for Chinese businessmen like Li Jin, the road out of China will not be smooth in the future?"
Seeing that Li Songci had understood what he meant, Paulson chuckled and immediately avoided this extremely sensitive and private topic.
There are many words, just a little bit is enough. If you say it too clearly, it is not a good thing.
"As for what you said about letting me retire two years early, I'm afraid you will get your wish soon."
Paulson's words made Li Songci sit up straight, looked at the old man in front of him seriously, frowned and said nothing.
"I will retire next year. This is an internal resolution of the shareholders' meeting. So far, it is still top secret." Paulson said.
"Those bastards!"
"You have worked hard all your life and put in decades of hard work for Gaosheng Investment Bank to become the world's number one investment bank, and now they are going to kick you away?" Li Songci said angrily.
"hehe."
Seeing that Li Songci's anger was completely sincere, Paulson smiled happily and said, "It's not that exaggerated. I will get 3.8% of Gaosheng Investment Bank's shares and then enter the shareholders' meeting."
"You have to know that Gaosheng Investment Bank is a professional and international enterprise, and its ownership structure is very complicated."
"There are almost no independent major shareholders. They are all dispersed among various large companies and hold cross-shareholdings with each other. Although this way, the company can become bigger and stronger in a short period of time, but the power is also dispersed."
"So when Li Jin refused Gao Sheng's investment, I felt both humiliated and relieved!"
"Look, the founder of Gaosheng Investment Bank, Mr. Marcus, founded Gaosheng Investment Bank in 1869, but now, his descendants were kicked out of the investment bank 100 years ago, and they can't even be seen now.
."
"Li Jin has a very long-term vision. If that day comes..."
Paulson's eyes were profound: "Li Jin will be the only king of his business kingdom, and no one can question his authority!"
After listening to Li Songci, he sighed: "But this road is too difficult."
"Other major international capitals are not Gaosheng Investment Bank, and if Gaosheng Investment Bank had another person as its chairman, they wouldn't be as easy to talk to as you. Since you can't get it, then destroy it before it becomes powerful. This is the public law of the world, isn't it?
?"
"so."
Paulson stood up, handed the beloved ornaments on his desk that he had treasured for many years to Li Songci's hands, patted Li Songci on the shoulder like a kind elder, and said: "If one day, Li Jin really opens a bank
, you go help him and leave Gaosheng."
"Of course, that's assuming that day comes."
"This ornament is given to you. It was given to me by your father when he wanted to congratulate me on my promotion to the chairman of Gaosheng Investment Bank. It is also the only item in my office that has not been replaced in so many years. It returns to its original owner."
…
For a whole day, Li Jin, Tang Jun and the others drank and had fun. After going to one place, they went to the next. They didn't know how many places they went to and how much they drank.
Li Jin only vaguely remembered that he received two congratulatory calls from Huo Anlan and Su Wanqing, and then did not know anything else.
In the end, Li Jin relied on his strong physical strength and youthful foundation to successfully defeat Tang Jun and his group, and he was very proud of himself.
After struggling to get back to the hotel with Liu Jun's help, Li Jin fell asleep.
I slept until 2pm on Wednesday.
When Li Jin opened his eyes and saw the time, he suddenly realized that there was a delay!
