These include the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China (ranked 22nd), the China Construction Bank (ranked 30th), the Agricultural Bank of China (ranked 34th), and the Bank of China (ranked 37th).
Some people might ask, "This ranking isn't that great, isn't it? Aren't the ones ahead of him all better?"
However, you should know that the Celestial Empire Bank has another responsibility: to manage all the banks in the Celestial Empire.
So, do you understand now what it means for China's banks to be part of the Huasuan Wealth Management Alliance?
Initially, Lin Chen didn't intend to associate with China's state-owned banks; he just wanted to find any commercial bank to affiliate with.
But when Minister Wang learned of this, he actually took the initiative to act as a go-between, getting Huasuan Payment's first wealth management product affiliated with Tianchao Bank, which shocked Lin Chen.
However, Lin Chen thought about it again and figured there must be some other considerations. Whatever, this was a huge benefit for him anyway.
For example, like now, when people see the name of the Celestial Bank, they can't help but think twice before doing anything.
After his initial excitement, the president of Mitsubishi Bank quickly calmed down and, after a moment of contemplation, spoke.
"Sato, go investigate and see what their purpose is. Even if all the banks in Xiao Rizi don't participate in their affordable wealth management alliance, they can still do it with banks in China. Why do they need to come to us?"
Upon hearing this, Sato Taro's heart skipped a beat, and cold sweat instantly broke out on his forehead. Yes, this was, after all, a Chinese company, and it was very likely that it would dig a hole for him.
Lin Chen: I am an honest and reliable young man.
Jack Ma: Do you want to hear what you're saying?
Little Ma: Do you want to hear what you're saying?
"Hey! I'll go investigate right away!"
Sato Taro hung up the phone, pondering how to investigate.
Then, his eyes lit up – he had an idea!
I just saved Zhang San's contact information today. As a working-class person, I believe he will reveal some information if I give him enough benefits.
Meanwhile, the Zhang San he mentioned was on the phone with Lin Chen.
"They will definitely come looking for you and bring you gifts."
"Huh? Giving gifts? Boss, I swear to God, I would never take a single needle or thread from the people."
Can a simple life be considered part of the people's lives?
"Ah... Boss, what you said makes so much sense, I can't refute it."
"Just accept the gifts they give you. They're just trying to find a reason to reassure themselves that we're setting a trap to deceive them."
"So what should I say then, boss?"
"Just tell them that we're trying to win them over because we want to grow and become stronger in our small business, and we need our own allies. Otherwise, a foreign company can't stand out. As for why we chose these companies, you can figure that out yourself."
"Oh? Okay then."
Sure enough, right after hanging up with Lin Chen, Zhang San received a call from Sato Taro.
"Mr. Zhang, hello, I am Taro Sato from Mitsubishi Bank."
"Oh, Mr. Sato, is there something you need?"
"I do have something to take care of, but it's not convenient to talk about it over the phone. Are you free tonight, Mr. Zhang? Let me find a place and we can talk."
"Alright."
That evening, Zhang San went to the address given by Sato Taro, only to find that it was a karaoke bar.
"Strange, what are two grown men doing at a karaoke bar to talk business? Does he think he can win me over with his singing?"
However, whether the singing voice could win over Zhang San was unknown to him, but the hostesses in the KTV certainly won him over first.
"You two, you must serve Mr. Zhang well tonight. He is our Mitsubishi Bank's most important partner. You won't be shortchanged on tips."
"Don't worry, Mr. Sato."
Zhang San chatted happily with the two princesses about their life ideals, but the two princesses said that their legs were a little sore from sitting for so long.
There was nothing else Zhang San could do but reluctantly give the two princesses massages.
Sato Taro smiled as he watched Zhang San's actions. As long as you, Zhang San, have a weakness, that's fine. Now it seems your weakness is quite obvious.
"Mr. Zhang, the reason I called you here today is to ask what our next step is after Mitsubishi Bank joined the Value-for-Money Investment Alliance. I'd like to make some preparations in advance."
While diligently massaging the two princesses, Zhang San casually replied.
"Next step? The next step is to make money with you all!"
"Huh? It's that simple?"
"No, that's not it, but it's confidential, so we can't go on and say any more."
Sato Taro's lips twitched, and he pulled a box out from under the booth sofa and pushed it in front of Zhang San.
"Here is one million US dollars, Mr. Zhang, please accept it."
Upon hearing this, the two princesses sitting next to Zhang San exclaimed in surprise, not even noticing that their stockings were torn.
However, to everyone's surprise, Zhang San pushed it back.
“My education doesn’t support me doing this kind of thing, and I’m extremely loyal to my boss; I would never betray my company.”
“Zhang Sang is joking. How can this be called betrayal? He was going to tell me sooner or later anyway, it’s just a little earlier. Oh, by the way, I also have a Super VIP membership card here, which allows me to come and play for free once a week.”
Upon hearing this, Zhang San immediately took the membership card from Sato Taro and changed his attitude.
"Hey, money doesn't really matter, I just want to be your friend."
"Haha, of course we're friends. Who knows, we might even become confidants in the future. Zhang San, these two princesses are all yours tonight. I've already paid the bill."
"Sato, you're being so polite, it's making me feel embarrassed. Since that's the case, I'll get straight to the point, after all, a moment of bliss is worth a thousand pieces of gold."
"I'm all ears."
"Our boss has two considerations. First, since we are, after all, a Chinese company, it is difficult for us to develop on our own. Therefore, we need to cooperate with local companies to grow bigger and stronger."
The second point is that our boss said we shouldn't hire those arrogant bank representatives, as such representatives can reflect the overall image of a company.
Secondly, look for banks with overall strength in the second tier; these banks tend to be more ambitious and driven.
"Damn it! Your boss is truly a wise man!"
After listening to Zhang San's words, Sato Taro thought to himself, "Just as I guessed."
Indeed, having several local businesses around Xiaorijia makes it much easier for Huasuan Pay to develop within Xiaorijia, and many things can be easily resolved.
Since that's the case, he was relieved. Everyone could profit, and the deal could go through.
