Chapter 1305: Acquiring a Bank

Zhou Andong finished dressing and helped Jian Qiu dress.

Just as they finished washing and were about to go out, the phone rang.

Zhou Andong went back and picked up the phone: "I am Zhou Andong."

"Chairman!" Yuan Wanqi's voice came from the receiver: "The negotiations for the acquisition of the Overseas Trust Bank have been completed. A press conference will be held at noon today, and the contract will be signed."

"So fast?" In Zhou Andong's view, negotiations involving an acquisition of several billion would take at least a year or half a year.

Yuan Wanqi said with a smile: "The Xiangjiang government is eager to get rid of it, and our competitor is only Dao Heng Bank, but the willingness to acquire is not too strong, which gave us a chance to pick up a bargain. Especially since Alice came forward for the negotiations, and it was acquired by Jian Dong International, there was no resistance at all."

"This is really good news." Zhou Andong was in a great mood: "The negotiations for cooperation with Miss He must also be carried out as soon as possible. In the future, shipping will also be a big piece of fat, and it cannot be missed."

"After signing the acquisition contract today, Alice will lead the team to Macau tomorrow." Yuan Wanqi said: "There is one more thing, the bank's existing middle management team can be used."

"But senior management personnel such as the CEO, CFO, Chief Risk Officer, Chief Information Officer, etc., must be appointed by ourselves."

Zhou Andong said: "I already have a candidate, but I don't know if she will agree to go to Xiangjiang."

Yuan Wanqi didn't ask who it was, just said: "This matter must be arranged as soon as possible."

"Okay!" Zhou Andong said: "If she agrees, she can go after the Spring Festival."

The two chatted for a few more words, and Zhou Andong hung up the phone.

"What's the matter?" Jian Qiu asked.

Waking up early in the morning and hearing such good news, Zhou Andong's mood was quite beautiful.

"The negotiations for the Overseas Trust Bank in Xiangjiang have been completed, and the contract will be signed at noon today."

"This is a good thing." Jian Qiu was very happy: "However, senior management must be appointed by ourselves. Where can we find someone who is capable and familiar with financial business?"

Zhou Andong said with a smile: "You forgot, we have one by our side."

"Who?" Jian Qiu thought for a long time but couldn't think of anyone else by their side.

At this time, they had already left the unit door, and Zhou Andong asked with a smile: "Still haven't thought of it? We are going back to Tanghezi today."

Mentioning going back to Tanghezi, Jian Qiu's heart moved, and she smiled: "I actually forgot that girl."

Wang Wentian had already driven the car over, and Zhou Andong and Jian Qiu got into the car.

"Chairman, where to?"

Zhou Andong said: "Find a place to eat."

Wang Wentian drove the car directly to the opposite side, Zhou Anlei's bun shop.

"Dongzi, sister-in-law!"

Seeing Zhou Andong and Jian Qiu coming, Zhou Anlei was very happy.

There were two winery employees eating in the shop, and seeing Zhou Andong and Jian Qiu, they hurriedly stood up.

"Chairman, Vice Chairman!"

Zhou Andong and Jian Qiu nodded with a smile: "You guys eat."

The two nodded, finished their meal quickly, paid the bill, and left.

At this time, Auntie Fatty came out of the kitchen, carrying two small steamer baskets of buns.

"You guys eat first, I'll go get you some small mixed vegetables."

"Auntie Fatty!" Jian Qiu said: "Don't be busy, I can't eat it early in the morning."

"Right!" Zhou Andong moved the chair in front of him back and sat down: "There's no one here now, sit down and chat together."

"Just get two small mixed vegetables, it's not a trouble."

Auntie Fatty smiled and returned to the kitchen, soon brought out two small plates of mixed vegetables, and placed them on the table.

Zhou Andong picked up a bun, looking at Zhou Anlei who had been standing there: "Don't stand, sit."

Not knowing what Zhou Andong wanted to say, Zhou Anlei's heart was very uneasy.

Since meeting in Yangcheng, he had been in awe of Zhou Andong from the inside out.

Zhou Anlei sat down, and Auntie Fatty also sat on the side, a bit nervous.

"You two don't have to be so nervous." Zhou Andong shook his head helplessly: "Is this storefront rented or bought?"

"Rented." Zhou Anlei said: "It's more than two thousand a year."

Zhou Andong picked up the vinegar bottle and poured some vinegar into the dish.

"Opposite the winery, more than two thousand a year is not expensive. If it were the train station or Central Street, the annual rent for such a large area has already risen to more than ten thousand."

"I know this." Zhou Anlei said: "I went to ask."

"Hmm!" Zhou Andong picked up a bun and dipped it in some vinegar: "Have you ever thought about buying this storefront?"

"No!" Zhou Anlei shook his head: "I was thinking, wait for the bun shop to make some money, plus what I have in my hands, buy an elevator house in Qiaonan."

Zhou Andong swallowed what was in his mouth: "You can buy an apartment whenever you want. But for a storefront, if you miss the opportunity, it's gone."

Zhou Anlei hadn't figured it out yet, Auntie Fatty said: "I'll ask the landlord tonight if this storefront is for sale. If it's for sale, we'll buy it."

Zhou Andong smiled: "Buy it. If the landlord doesn't sell, use the money in your hands to buy a storefront in Qiaonan."

"Why do we have to buy a storefront?" Zhou Anlei was obsessed with buying an elevator house and was very resistant to buying a storefront.

Auntie Fatty glared at Zhou Anlei: "Chairman Zhou asked us to buy, so we buy, why do you have so much nonsense?"

Zhou Anlei muttered something, but still closed his mouth.

Zhou Andong couldn't be bothered to pay attention to Zhou Anlei, and said to Auntie Fatty: "The little money you have in your hands is definitely not enough to buy a storefront in Qiaonan. I'll help you handle the loan when the time comes."

"Okay!" Auntie Fatty made a decision: "Whatever you tell us to do, we will do."

Zhou Andong sighed in his heart, Zhou Anlei really had dog-shit luck to meet a woman like Auntie Fatty.

"Go to the winery to find me tomorrow, I'll arrange for someone to take you to register the Auntie Fatty Bun trademark."

Zhou Andong said while eating, no matter what he said, Auntie Fatty just nodded in agreement.

After Zhou Andong and Jian Qiu finished eating and left, Zhou Anlei was still a bit dissatisfied.

"The money in my hands, I was waiting to buy an elevator house so we could get married. If we buy a storefront, when can we get married?"

Auntie Fatty smiled and said: "We can get married without an elevator house, but Chairman Zhou wouldn't tell us to buy a storefront for no reason. Since he said so, it must make sense. We must buy it, otherwise we will definitely regret it later."

No matter whether Zhou Anlei could figure it out or not, Auntie Fatty was determined to buy the storefront.

Zhou Andong and Jian Qiu arrived at the department store, and the appliances were on the second floor.

The two didn't go up directly, but strolled in the clothing area on the first floor.

"Hey!" Jian Qiu said, pointing ahead: "Look, Xiaobei."

Zhou Andong looked in the direction Jian Qiu pointed, only to see Zhou Anbei and a girl standing in front of the women's clothing counter.

"Who is that girl?" Jian Qiu was full of gossip: "Very beautiful, very good temperament, and they look very intimate." ===== CHAPTER 1306 =====
