Chapter 116: Teacher Gao is Out of the Game

On the other side, Han Tao was sitting in the VIP room of Huaxin Securities, a major client.

He leaned back on the sofa, a freshly brewed cup of Taiping Houkui tea in front of him. He looked at the account manager in charge of reception with a gentle gaze and smiled, "Manager Xia, I've already stated my basic requirements. Just arrange someone for me."

"Okay, Mr. Han, I'll arrange it for you in a bit. But just a reminder, you'll need to sign a risk disclosure agreement."

Xia Dong has been having a string of good things lately; she was just promoted to account manager last month.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she took office, her old classmate introduced her to a major client, and now she no longer has to worry about the lack of quality resources.

"No problem, I understand." Han Tao nodded, gestured for Xia Dong to bring over the contract, and signed his name directly.

"Mr. Han, Hongdou and I were high school classmates and have been good friends for many years, so from a personal perspective, I feel it is necessary to remind you."

Xia Dong hesitated for a moment, then said sincerely, "Although you have plenty of funds, you must be careful about increasing leverage."

The stocks you are currently investing in are all high-risk stocks. I suggest you reconsider.

Han Tao nodded slightly, then picked up his teacup and took a sip: "I know, thank you for reminding me."

I can sign an investment contract, and I guarantee I won't hold your brokerage firm responsible if any problems arise.

"Mr. Han, the market currently offers a maximum leverage ratio of around 1:5 because the China Securities Regulatory Commission is cracking down on high leverage operations."

Seeing his resolute attitude, Xia Dong showed a hint of helplessness on her face, after all, she had already fulfilled her duty to remind him.

"That's too little. I know you must have special privileges for your major clients."

Han Tao smiled slightly, "How about this, you can raise the interest rate a bit, I want at least 15 to 20 times leverage."

After hearing Han Tao's outrageous demands, Xia Dong shook his head and said, "Mr. Han, 15 to 20 times is impossible."

The stocks you invested in are too risky; a single limit-down day will force you to liquidate your position.

Okay, I'll apply for 10x leverage for you. That's the highest I can get; you won't find anything higher at any other brokerage firm.

"Fine, 10x it is then." Han Tao secretly regretted that the market was gradually deleveraging, otherwise he could have made a fortune.

"Then it's settled. A specific contract needs to be signed to process the leverage, Mr. Han, please wait a moment."

After saying that, Xia Dong poured Han Tao another cup of tea, and then took out a new contract.

She was actually quite happy. After closing this deal, she would not only get a lot of commission, but also be able to secure her position as an account manager.

After confirming that everything was correct, Han Tao signed the document directly: "No problem, that's settled then, Manager Xia."

I'll leave the rest to you. I'll transfer the deposit to the designated account within three days.

"Don't worry, Mr. Han." Xia Dong nodded with a smile, putting away the contract and agreement as she spoke. "You're not only my first VIP client since I took office, but also the senior student introduced by Hongdou. I have to be extra careful and keep an eye on things for you!"

After chatting for a while longer, Han Tao finally left the securities company with satisfaction, secretly making plans as he walked towards the parking lot.

If handled properly, that's billions of yuan in revenue, enough for investment in the Handong Development Zone.

This is also the best entry point so far. The original owner's hatred is also his karma, and he must take it on.

The original owner was unaware of the situation, but the current owner knows the plot.

Entering the market at this point isn't perfect, but it still offers a lot of room for maneuver.

Back when Lao Li was the top leader at the local level, the economy declined due to investors withdrawing their funds, and he ultimately failed to get promoted.

However, the place where Teacher Gao was in charge of the work suddenly became the top in terms of total economic output, and he, as the then-leader, successfully entered the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee.

What does this show? It means that the leadership team there places great importance on GDP.

People from places with high economic output and rapid development are more likely to be promoted.

The development zone project is a meritorious project of Comrade Li, and it is also a project that benefits the people, involving a total amount of 28 billion yuan.

In such cities, massive investments are bound to create a large number of job opportunities, giving ordinary people more work to do.

When everyone has work, can earn money, and has a secure livelihood, social conflicts will naturally decrease significantly.

Therefore, Comrade Li's development zone project is conducive to increasing the employment rate, bringing more job opportunities to the people, and allowing them to share in the dividends of economic development.

When the people live and work in peace and contentment, their high level of approval for him as the top leader means he has a strong base of support among the masses. This is also an important indicator for his further promotion.

Furthermore, the catalyst for the entire plot was essentially a work-related issue.

The factory manager mortgaged the land without permission; they want it, which will inevitably lead to the factory's bankruptcy and mass unemployment.

Without work, there is no livelihood, and they may not even be able to eat. How could the workers not cause trouble?

Han Tao's rescue plan's first step was to throw money at it, at least one-third of the total investment, and this was no small sum.

If possible, he also plans to bring in top business leaders from Shanghai to invest together.

Money makes things easier. As long as the source is solved and plans are made in advance, there is great potential.

However, the prerequisite is to first keep Qi Xuechang under control and have a proper talk with Teacher Gao; then this situation can be salvaged. At the very least, Chen Hai must not get into trouble.

As for Professor Gao's final fate, it still needs careful planning and consideration. That level is not something he can interfere with, but as long as no fundamental mistakes are made, everything else is negotiable.

After leaving the parking lot, Han Tao got into the car but did not start the engine immediately.

He leaned back in the leather seat, his fingertips lightly tapping the steering wheel, his mind racing as he planned his next move.

"The development zone project involves a complex web of powerful forces, and simply throwing money at it is far from enough."

He muttered to himself, his gaze fixed on the distant high-rises through the windshield. "Old Li's failure back then was ostensibly due to investors withdrawing their funds, but the real reason is something everyone in the know understands perfectly well."

Professor Gao's ability to rise to the top wasn't solely due to economic data, but also to his precise strategic positioning and unwavering commitment.

He took out his phone, found a number he hadn't contacted in a long time, and dialed: "Brother Shen, it's me. I have something I'd like to ask you—"

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, followed by a hearty laugh: "Don't worry, brother, as long as this person is still in Hong Kong, I'll find him for you even if I have to dig three feet into the ground. I guarantee there won't be any mistakes."

"Okay, thanks, Brother Shen. I'll be waiting for your good news!" Han Tao's lips curled up slightly after hanging up the phone.

To get Teacher Gao out of this mess, we need to deal with two people. One is the guy surnamed Du; we need to get back and destroy what he has. The second...
