Chapter 184: River and Sea

'Yuchi Feng has really gone too far! Advisor Zhou, you are the one with the deepest understanding of financial securities among the one billion people in the country, and you are also the one who can best take into account the national situation. It is such a rare thing for you to be able to be the class teacher. If it were me, I would burn incense. This guy is actually still using his power for personal gain and trying to push you out. He is simply not worthy of being the dean, he is just a fool!'

Luo Han angrily attacked Yuchi Feng. Now they had already entered the Finance Building, and Zhou Ming also told the students in the Finance class about how he had voluntarily withdrawn from school to follow him. This was not something Zhou Ming wanted to say maliciously, and in fact, Zhou Ming did not really need to. He just wanted to hand the Finance class over to Luo Han, and there were some things that had to be said.

With Luo Han's roar, the students in the finance class also recalled that incident, and they all said, 'Dean Yuchi really went too far! He even wanted to find someone with a pretty bad character to replace Teacher Zhou Ming, which is a great insult to the teacher!'

At this time, Zhou Ming stepped forward and said, "Since it's already in the past, everyone should just stop talking about it.'

Afterwards, Zhou Ming commanded, "Chen Shu, you take the students in first and sit in the seats that President Luo has arranged for you. I have something to discuss with President Luo.'

The students nodded and left immediately. Luo Han looked at the backs of the students as they left, and said to Zhou Ming with emotion in his voice, 'Advisor Zhou, you're even more impressive than you were a year ago. These students in the finance class were all selected from elites across the country, all with their own ideals. The future of being able to enter the finance class is unimaginable, but at your call, they actually just gave up the finance class and dropped out of Renmin University. Advisor Zhou, your influence is too great!'

Zhou Ming was gratified and said, 'In fact, I myself did not expect my classmates to be so supportive of me. I did not want them to continue in that finance class, but I did not expect them to leave so decisively.'

'I think it's only because you are here, Zhou Consultant, and no one else could do it!' Luo Han said with certainty.

Zhou Ming froze for a moment, then waved his hand and decided to skip this kind of praise. 'Okay, let's not talk about that. Luo, since we are the only ones here right now, I think you should understand why Yuchi Feng targeted me like that?'

Luo Han looked at Zhou Ming in surprise, then nodded silently, as if endorsing him, and told him in detail: 'Yuchi Feng is the younger brother of Yuchi Long, the president of the Binhai branch of the Bank of China, and an important force of the Binhai financial faction in Beijing.'

'It seems that after Binhai started to engage in the stock market, the pressure on your side has increased,' said Zhou Ming.

'That's only natural. With so few resources in the country, giving to one side means taking away from the other. But even if it's not as big as yours, it's still very big. Since the founding of the People's Republic, the Yuchi family has been the most important financial family in the country. For a long time, the two brothers, Yuchi Long and Yuchi Feng, one worked in a bank and the other at the Renmin University of China's School of Finance. It can be said that from the system to education, they almost dominated the entire financial system, and wanted to make the domestic financial world their Yuchi family's world.'

Luo Han smiled helplessly as he said, 'You can imagine, when the country decided to place the finance class at the Renmin University of China School of Finance, the Yuchi family must have been overjoyed. But then you, Advisor Zhou, went over there, and since you're not from the Yuchi family, naturally they targeted you.'

Zhou Ming heard Luo Han's words very clearly. After all is said and done, these things are nothing more than a matter of interests. Previously, the two brothers' positions were, needless to say, with Yu Chi Long in the bank, and Yu Chi Feng in the Renmin University of China School of Finance. With his way of doing things, it can be said that 80% to 90% of the students who come out from under him will be labelled with the Yu Chi family. In this way, the Yu Chi family's influence in the financial system cannot but be huge.

Now that the Finance Class has been established, and the students are all elite students selected from across the country, all of whom are to be trained to become the pillars of the future financial industry, how could the Yuchi family let go?

That's why Wei Chi Feng is so proactive. He wants to continue to control finance through the finance class, so that the Wei Chi family can remain the number one financial family in the country, both now and in the future. But now that the finance class has made Zhou Ming the homeroom teacher, it has undoubtedly made the Wei Chi family's plans come to nothing. For this reason, Wei Chi Feng has to choose to let Zhou Ming go if he wants to continue to control the finance class.

In the end, Luo Han thought for a moment and whispered to Zhou Ming, 'And the secretary of the municipal party committee in Binhai has already entered the central government, and he is still being groomed as a national leader. No matter what, he will fight for the interests of the Shanghai school. Of course, he himself may not think so, and his focus may be on the national situation, but it's hard to say about the people below him.'

Luo Han sighed. In fact, since the reform and opening up, the central government's policies have already been heavily tilted towards Lingnan. The most obvious example of this is the existence of the Special Economic Zone. However, with Binhai in power, it is questionable whether Lingnan will still be able to receive as much support from the central government in the future.

Luo Han would sigh, partly because of the lack of resources, and partly because of the embryonic Nanjiang Stock Exchange. God knows what it will become without the support of the central government.

At the end, Luo Han shook his head and said to Zhou Ming, 'But you are Consultant Zhou, they can't target you. Even the students in the finance class won't agree!'

Zhou Ming patted Luo Han on the shoulder to indicate that he should stop talking, and then Zhou Ming said, 'In fact, it doesn't matter if he targets me or not. Things have developed to this point, and someone will clean him up. Compared to what's going on over there, I think what's going on here is more important.'

Listening to Zhou Ming's words, Luo Han subconsciously straightened his back. Zhou Ming continued, 'In the future, when the finance class goes to Nan Jiang to intern at your securities company, you must not make the same mistake as the Yuchi family. Don't always think about how to control these finance class students and train them to become part of the Nan Jiang faction. You just need to do your best to train them to become financial elites, and they will naturally choose us.'

Luo Han's eyes lit up. Zhou Ming looked at him and said, 'You think I'm the homeroom teacher of the finance class, and I can also make my classmates voluntarily drop out of school, and they will be classified as part of the Nanjiang faction?'

Zhou Ming's slightly mocking tone made Luo Han's face flush, because what Zhou Ming said was exactly what he had just thought.

'This idea is a big mistake, and don't you think that this is the same as the Yuchi family?' Zhou Ming said sternly, 'President Luo, the students in the finance class will choose me, not because of how well I get along with them, but because I represent the most advanced financial knowledge in the country. They will choose Nanjiang Securities Company because it represents the most advanced financial system in the country right now!'

Zhou Ming's words shocked Luo Han. It was only then that he understood the greatness of Zhou Ming. Although he had always thought that Zhou Ming was very capable, he had only thought that Zhou Ming was smart and flexible. However, after listening to Zhou Ming's words just now, Luo Han deeply appreciated that Zhou Ming was not smart but great.

Everyone is selfish, everyone wants to benefit themselves. The Yuchi family racked their brains over the Binhai stock market, and Luohan himself did his best for the Nanjiang stock market, but they forgot the fundamentals. This society is fair. There is no need to think about such nonsense. As long as you are the most advanced, then naturally people will come to you.

Just like the United States, the reason why so many people want to immigrate there is because it is the strongest in the world, right?

This is a conspiracy of the sun, different from all conspiracies and tricks, it is clearly telling you that there is only one way to catch up, and that is to work hard to enrich yourself. This is what Zhou Ming thinks.

This is a virtuous cycle that everyone understands, but those who can choose this path are all truly great people, because it is always much easier to conspire behind the scenes to kick your opponent out of power than to work hard to improve yourself. It is also the method most people like to use, just like what the Yuchi family did.

With this kind of thinking, Luo Han subconsciously straightened his back, and the look in his eyes when he looked at Zhou Ming was full of awe, because the fact that Zhou Ming could do this and would do this proved that he was the great hero of this era!

'Counselor Zhou, please rest assured, I will definitely do exactly as you instruct!' Luo Han assured Zhou Ming.

'Of course I trust you, otherwise I wouldn't have asked you.' Zhou Ming paused for a moment, then continued, "But Luo, regarding the future development of the Nanjiang Stock Exchange, you don't need to worry too much. As long as you can insist on making it bigger and stronger, and persevere with reform and development, whoever is in the central government in the future will definitely support you!'

'As for the Yuchi family," Zhou Ming smiled, 'someone will take care of them.'

If someone else had said this to Luo Han, he would have sneered, but it was Zhou Ming who said it, especially after he had brought out the entire financial class, so he firmly nodded his head.

At this time, there was suddenly a commotion at the door. Zhou Ming and Luo Han looked over there. Since reporters were not allowed to enter before the meeting was ready, all the reporters were now crowded at the door. Now the flashlights were shining outside the door, obviously someone important had arrived.

After a while, a middle-aged man escorted by his secretary walked in. Seeing him, Zhou Ming recognised him at a glance: Yuchi Long. He was exactly the same as Yuchi Feng.

Like Luo Han's identity in Nanjiang, he was the president of a bank and the founder of the Binhai stock market. In terms of ability, Zhou Ming believed that he was even more capable than Luo Han. This could be seen from the fact that the scale of the post-war Haishang stock market was much larger than that of the Jiangcheng stock market. Of course, this was partly due to the reason why Lin Zekang, the secretary of the Binhai Municipal Party Committee, moved to the central government, but his own abilities should not be ignored.

Zhou Ming and Luo Han saw Yuchi Long, who naturally also saw Zhou Ming. He paused for a moment, then walked towards Zhou Ming and said, 'Hello, Consultant Zhou. I'm Yuchi Long. If you're free after the meeting, would you mind if we sat down and had a chat?'

Zhou Ming nodded and said yes, and Yuchi Long said thank you and left.

Although Yuchi Long only spoke to Zhou Ming for a moment, it caused a huge uproar. The reporters were all boiling with excitement. They didn't expect the founders of the two major domestic stock markets to speak to Zhou Ming. Just who is this Zhou Ming?

Luo Han frowned: 'Advisor Zhou, what did he want with you?'

Zhou Ming laughed: 'It seems that someone has come out to do justice and caused them trouble.'
