Chapter 696 - 293: It’s a Friend of Mine! (Part 2)
Just like any worker, it’s expected to get paid; if you don’t, that’s a problem.
You can’t make people grateful without pay, unless you max out benefits and offer conditions others can’t.
That’s Jiangbei. Although not the only one, Ye Bingcheng is definitely the most sincere.
He’s even leading Wanliu Capital’s investment in Jiangbei Securities and Jiangbei Bank, and actively negotiating online payment licenses.
These are things Jiang City can’t offer, and wouldn’t even dare to try.
The risk is huge.
Once it fails, it’ll haunt you for life.
Ye Bingcheng is undoubtedly daring.
Xiumu pondered and said, "So, wouldn’t it be great for me to have a child with you and Jiang Banxia, with all the family assets?"
"Then go talk to Jiang Banxia; I’m not in charge of this."
"Only if you agree first. She’ll definitely listen to you."
"Once Jiang Banxia agrees, I agree!"
"..."
Xiumu became helpless and said, "Fine, we’ll talk about it later, but are you really leaving Capital City? At least give me hope, when will you return?"
"Let’s talk about it in ten years."
"By then, I won’t be able to have children."
"I..."
"Okay, okay, just kidding. Don’t leave the group! If you dare quit, I’ll bring the kids to your doorstep, making them search for dad worldwide!"
...
The moves of Wanliu Capital didn’t escape Jiang Baichuan.
Especially since Wanliu Capital has already submitted an application.
With reasonable and fair expectations, Capital City won’t refuse.
Capital City offers many perks for industrial groups but is average for financial companies.
However, Jiang Banxia chose Jiangbei over Modu, which surprised him.
Modu could offer good terms, especially welcoming financial groups like Wanliu Capital.
Taking advantage of Li Yang’s visit to Capital City, Jiang Baichuan took a day to have lunch with him.
"In a few days, there’s the National Top Ten Outstanding Youth Award ceremony, if Jiang Banxia can’t go, please attend on her behalf."
"Sure, no problem! But why am I not nominated?"
"Why not nominated? Jiang Banxia and her husband."
"Is this nomination for me? Why isn’t it called Li Yang and his wife?"
"Huh? Are you boxing or what?"
"Oh, so you know people are boxing too, but online it’s a mess, and no one cares."
"It’s got nothing to do with me, why are you asking explanations from me?"
Jiang Baichuan considered many potential topics of dispute with Li Yang, but never imagined the conflict would be over such unrelated matters.
This guy is like a hedgehog.
Seeing Li Yang quiet, Jiang Baichuan thought this wasn’t going anywhere, so he said, "These companies need to survive, and the disruptors are often paid internationally; platforms need to make money too, so they turn a blind eye. As for the impact, you know the principle of reversal–the more troublemakers online, the more clear-headed the netizens get... Moreover, intervening isn’t necessarily good..."
"Extreme Shadow Group just isn’t strong enough."
Jiang Baichuan: "Huh?"
How could this relate to Extreme Shadow Group?
"No worries, no worries. You didn’t summon me just for the award issue, right? Tell me whatever else, and I can convey it to Jiang Banxia."
Jiang Baichuan, seeing the topic finally come back, hurriedly said, "I’d like Jiang Banxia to join the securities institution; while Wanliu Capital is important, her talents need a bigger stage."
Li Yang smiled and said, "Jiang Banxia has discussed this with me, but she’s not interested."
"Why?"
"Because her philosophy differs; her thinking differs. She said even in your environment, her capabilities might not be maximized, whereas the current environment allows her to excel."
"Environments can be changed; once she shows some achievements, that’ll convince others, and the environment can be tailored to her needs."
"How much time would that take? Five years? Ten years? Maybe even twenty. She doesn’t want to spend that long. In seven or eight years, once the kids don’t need parental support, she’s prepared to retire and enjoy life; I’ll also accompany her then."
In this matter, Li Yang privately decided for Jiang Banxia.
The future Jiang Banxia is his, not for anyone else.
Jiang Baichuan was speechless.
Seven or eight years later, how old would they be?
Just thirty years old, and retiring?
What a waste of talents!
Previously, he didn’t value Li Yang much, but now he does.
No matter the marketing strategies used, at least Extreme Shadow Cars are genuinely impressive now.
An outsider could expand a tech company so much.
In the new energy vehicle sector, their technology has become singularly advanced.
In under five years...
It’s clear Li Yang’s vision and management skills are formidable.
As two production lines in Capital City go online, Extreme Shadow Group’s national workforce officially surpasses thirty thousand, a remarkable achievement.
Previously, he felt Li Yang was incompatible with Jiang Banxia, but now they seem perfectly matched.
A few more companies like Extreme Shadow Group would be great.
Li Yang should pour all his energy into work, since he already has children...
He’s certainly too timid to say this, otherwise even a respectful Li Yang might hit him.
"Let’s not discuss retirement. Just ignore what I’ve said before; keep going as you are. We’ve invested billions into Wanliu Capital, based on Jiang Banxia’s philosophy, that money is crucial; don’t retire too early..."
