Chapter 666 - 649 Lack of Courage
As soon as he got to work, Nie Zhan called Kefuleach and mentioned wanting to open a branch of Wansheng Bank in Moscow.
Kefuleach thought he heard wrong: "You want to open a branch here?"
"Yes, why, do you not support it?"
Kefuleach fell silent. Yesterday, the government had just issued a new policy, and today Nie Zhan is telling me he wants to open a branch in Moscow: "What if I refuse?"
Nie Zhan laughed and said, "Then I’ll have to find someone else to cooperate with, though it will take a bit more effort."
Kefuleach sighed internally. He was quite irritated after learning about the new policy yesterday. He had graduated from a top business school and clearly understood the harm this policy could bring to the country, but the leader only listened to his close confidants: "It’s such a big matter, I need to discuss it with my father’s and uncle’s families."
"I’ll be waiting for your good news."
After hanging up the phone, Nie Zhan turned and dialed Nie Jingwen to tease him, without mentioning the branch opening in Moscow. Such a big matter had to be discussed face-to-face; it couldn’t be handled over the phone.
Nie Jingwen knew something was up when he heard Nie Zhan invite him to lunch: "Alright, my second cousin has opened a new Cantonese restaurant, we can go try it later."
Zhang Lalan’s family had ancestors who were imperial chefs, but her great-grandfather didn’t have talent in cuisine, leading to their decline. Luckily, her grandfather inherited the culinary talent, starting from a small restaurant to a grand hotel, and later opening a food company.
