Chapter 1714

Just after five o'clock in the afternoon, the door of the office was knocked open. Looking at Grace Krepp who walked in, Simon, who had just opened a document behind the desk, smiled and said, "Is it in such a hurry?"

I made an appointment to go to Grace tonight, but I didn't expect the woman to come here first.

"I just got off work too, I happened to be passing by," Grace said, turning to the desk, the man stretched out his hand, and naturally leaned against him, leaning in his arms, while looking at the document in Simon's hand divertedly: "what is this?"

Simon didn't pursue the fact that today is a Saturday when most people don't go to work. He put his arms around the woman's soft waist, felt the sweet fragrance, and said, "A financial product plan from China."

This is the final plan for the small-amount wealth management products under Yifubao that Simon accidentally proposed in the first half of the year.

At the beginning, the spoof wanted to call it 'Good Friends', but it was a pity that it could not be hidden from the discerning people in China, and the name was finally determined to be 'Yi Libao' which is the same as 'Yilibao'.

Speaking of which, from the proposal to the review to the recent approval, even if there are high-level executives in China who personally support it, there are still many obstacles. After all, this type of savings financial product touches the sensitive nerves of banks.

If Chen Qing hadn't brought the final good news this time, Simon would have almost forgotten it.

Or, come to think of it, Simon might have taken the initiative to ask that side to cancel the advance.

From Simon's current standpoint, the more conservative and staid the potential competitors are, the better. There is really no need to change anything.

However, since it has passed, Simon has no intention of doing anything more.

Let nature take its course.

Furthermore, the final conditions were similar to what Chen Qing had reported to Simon several times before, roughly the maximum limit of 50,000 yuan, and the annualized rate of return could not exceed 5%.

And most importantly, the Yifubao team fully owns the independent operation rights of this product. As the parent company, ICBC can only supervise and not interfere.

This is also the reason why the project has been procrastinated until now and finally passed the approval.

At the same time, the Yifubao team has been quietly developing related functions for the past six months. Now, it has passed the approval and is expected to be officially launched in January next year.

Next, if it succeeds, it will undoubtedly become the second blockbuster product under Yifubao.

The first one is of course Yifubao payment tool itself.

On the other hand, there is good news and bad news, Chen Qing deliberately mentioned it in the report held by Simon.

Obviously, Yifubao does not intend to let Yifubao eat alone. In China, several other major state-owned banks have also submitted plans to open their own online payment subsidiaries. It is expected that a group of Yifubao’s competitors will go online next year.

Frankly speaking, Simon is not worried about Yifubao's market position being threatened at all.

Because this payment tool has been deeply tied to all mainstream Internet companies in China, and has even extended its business overseas, and has also developed a user base of tens of millions.

The Matthew effect has already happened.

Even if other payment tools adopt methods such as free handling fees to attract users in the early stage, it will be difficult to compete with Yifubao, which has established a complete payment ecosystem.

unless coercive administrative means are used.

The problem is that everyone's backers are at the same level, and no one is afraid of anyone, no matter whether it is an inside move or an outside move.

Grace was not interested in these things, she curled up quietly in the man's arms, enjoying the tenderness of cuddling each other, and waited for Simon to finish flipping through the documents in his hand before she spoke: "Victoria's Secret in the morning... I mean , the selected Victoria’s Secret Angel, something happened, you don’t know yet, do you?”

Simon picked up a pen and deliberately wrote the word 'read' on this document in Chinese, closed the folder, and asked while stroking the woman's smooth face with his chin, "What's wrong?"

Today is November 11th.

Saturday.

It is planned to hold the second millennium Victoria's Secret Fashion Show for three times, and the live show will be next Saturday, November 18.

Exactly one week left.

Therefore, related news topics have become more and more popular recently.

"Fighting, it's serious," Grace said with a smile, "The Korean model, Shin Chae-hye, was pushed down the stairs by Quan Woo-jin, who lives with her, in the morning. The girl went crazy, dragged her wounds and ran up and pulled Quan Youzhen down. The two girls wrestled together and are now in the hospital. I just went to see it before I came here. Quan Youzhen broke an arm and Shen Caihui's calf Severe fracture. By the way, my side and the Victoria's Secret team have jointly blocked the news, but now that the big show is getting so much attention, it's hard to say whether it can be kept secret, maybe it will be in the newspaper tomorrow."

Simon: "..."

Hearing Grace speak casually just now, I thought it was just a trivial matter.

Didn't expect it to be so big?

Without asking too much, Simon understood the reason for the two girls fighting.

This time, for the Victoria's Secret show, Simon personally made the decision. In Asia, China, Japan and South Korea each have a place.

There was a lottery in China, and in the end, it failed to fall into the hands of Jiang Mi, who was actually the most popular this year, which the Victoria's Secret team was actually looking forward to. Instead, it was picked up by Shen Gui.

In Japan, it is also a vase privately collected by Simon, the famous general Kiyohara Risa.

Simon actually prefers Oda Suoko with a cat face, but unfortunately that girl is only 16 years old this year.

Then there is South Korea, two vase models collected by Simon, Jun Woojin and Shin Chaehye, the former has a typical oval face appearance of a Korean girl, and the latter is the pure girl-next-door type.

Simon chose the latter at will.

There was no reason, it was just a momentary inclination when making a decision at that time, and I randomly picked up a pen to tick off the latter's name.

Unexpectedly, the result will cause the kittens to fight.

And hit so hard.

But, considering that the two girls are from South Korea, Simon quickly understood.

This petty and somewhat extreme ethnicity ah.

It's like the "famous" Korean sports event. It's not just that it likes to use hands and feet with others. It's even more choking among itself. It dares to lay hands on teammates in front of a bunch of cameras. .

Having said that, of the two fighting, one lost an arm and the other lost a leg. What is this called?

You still have to insist on being a good match even if your head is bleeding.

The more Simon thought about it, the more interested he became. While pushing Grace up and planning to get off work, he said, "I'm a little curious about what it looks like, so I called over to have a look."

Grace held Simon's arm, rolled her eyes and said, "It's in the hospital, and the Victoria's Secret team must be in a hurry now. They have already rehearsed, but they have to change people temporarily. Grace will definitely contact you at night to inquire about the follow-up. of."

The other Grace that Grace is talking about is Grace Nichols, the CEO of the Victoria's Secret brand.

Simon is not in a hurry: "According to the usual practice, there are alternatives. After all, it is also necessary to prevent someone from being unable to play temporarily. Let the other side follow the alternative plan."

The two walked out the door and turned to the elevator.

Grace also knew about the alternatives, but she said: "I'm a little worried about the sudden addition of a spot, and it will be even more lively if we fight again."

Simon showed anticipation: "Beautiful vase fights are actually very eye-catching, or, we can arrange a ring, and whoever wins will win."

Grace didn't expect the man to say that, but it turned into agreement in an instant, with more smiles and a little encouragement: "How about I arrange it, just tonight?"

Ever since she was captured physically and mentally by a certain little man, no matter what he wanted to do, she would support him unconditionally.

Simon just said something, but he didn't expect Grace to agree, so he nodded, "Okay, tonight's show, whoever wins will go."

Then he added: "Those two, send them over too."

"Just now, in the hospital, your arms and legs are broken?"

"That's why I have to send them here," Simon said, "I can't go to the hospital to see them?"

Grace thought about it too, so she nodded and was curious: "What are you going to do?"

"There is an aesthetic style in the East called bandage girl." Simon said: "In comparison, plaster girl must be more interesting, isn't it?"

In fact, the key point is that the two Korean goblins are both beauties with a score of 80 or above.

As the saying goes, as long as the body and appearance are good enough, wearing a sack of film can bring disaster to the country and the people.

Now, the same is true.

Putting plaster on it can also bring disaster to the country and the people.

Hearing what Simon said, Grace rolled her eyes slightly. But, of course, what he said was what he said. So he nodded and agreed again: "I'll call them later to arrange, um, where should I send it?"

Simon said: "Choose a manor in East Hampton. You tell Ange to let her cooperate with the arrangement, and we will go there tonight."
