779 [Shocking Hong Kong] Part 1
As one of the largest newspapers and media in Hong Kong.
Hong Kong's Ming Pao has always been among the best in sales in Hong Kong. The most important thing is that the news published in Ming Pao has always been known for its fast and authenticity, so it has been surrounded by many readers.
Today, Ming Pao published a news piece, which immediately caused an uproar throughout Hong Kong.
The theme of this news is the establishment of the Investment Bank of the Hong Kong Chinese Chamber of Commerce!
That's right, a new bank is about to be established in Hong Kong, and the address has been selected, just near Pacific Place in Causeway Bay. Nearby is the famous Citibank and HSBC Bank, which is well-known in Hong Kong.
The reason why a new bank caused a stir is very simple. The establishment of this bank was led by Song Zhichao, a famous young tycoon in Hong Kong. In addition, this bank is named as the Chinese Chamber of Commerce.
In addition, what everyone questioned is, can this bank be established?
You should know that as a world-renowned financial center, Hong Kong has always been a "soldier-class war zone" for many financial companies and banks. However, in the end, it will really exist and dominate Hong Kong is nothing more than those big banks, Citigroup and HSBC, and CITIC, which have entered the door. This shows how cruel and fierce the competition between banks is, which makes many international banks dare not enter rashly. However, now such a new bank suddenly appears, and all Hong Kong people regard this as a joke.
In Hong Kong, all kinds of news are the least ridiculed by the media, and this is no exception.
The first thing to joke about the new bank is the Hong Kong Apple Daily—
"When we look forward to the future and lead the technology, we suddenly find that a few big business owners can set up a big bank by getting together. This seems to have brought me back to the past and seen the so-called money house."
Next is the most entertaining Sing Tao Daily, Hong Kong.
"The establishment of Huatou Bank seems to tell many people that you can be willful if you have money - so willful that you can open a bank with Citigroup and HSBC and other super big guys."
The most straightforward thing is Hong Kong's Ta Kung Pao-
"We never doubt the birth of a new thing, but the establishment of Huatou Bank is likely to become a joke, because in addition to having rich capital, a bank must also have strong appeal - qualifications cannot be formed overnight. Centennial stores must be trusted by customers more than newly opened stores. This is the simplest truth and the most real truth."
There are many different opinions from various media outlets in Hong Kong. In short, no one is optimistic about this newly established bank. It feels a bit unlucky, like a child playing house.
But then news came out.
Young tycoon Song Zhichao took out US$3 billion as the basic funds of Hua Investment Bank and invested in the name of Wanxin International Investment Company.
At this moment, the financial commentators couldn't sit still.
It is obvious that people are not kidding or playing house. Anyone has seen anyone spending $3 billion to play house?
Some people even believe that young tycoon Song Zhichao is definitely not talking casually, but they want to take serious action and really set up Huatou Bank.
So the question arises. According to Song Zhichao, this time the China Investment Bank will recruit ten Chinese business tycoons as directors of the board of directors. So who will be the first to become the first person to take the lead?
After all, this is a new thing, and the future is uncertain. Coupled with the accusations of the people around you, who dares to make this bet?
After those Hong Kong news media who like gossip were slapped in the face, they did not have a memory and started a new round of comments.
Hong Kong Apple Daily—
"Even if you invest 3 billion, you will have to waste your money. Banks cannot be formed by just 3 billion US dollars. What they need is huge root strength. It is hard to make a forest for one person. From this we can see that Song Zhichao's Hua Investment Bank is about to die."
Hong Kong's "Sing Tao Daily" -
"Three billion US dollars seem to be a lot, but starting a bank is a drop in the bucket. After all, what banks value most is the credibility issue. There is no doubt that although Song Zhichao is famous, his reputation in Hong Kong is still very immature. Let me ask, who dares to rashly join the China Investment Bank and become a victim?"
Hong Kong Entertainment Weekly—
"Song Zhichao took out 3 billion US dollars to change the financial landscape of Hong Kong, but he didn't know that the current financial market in Hong Kong was not formed overnight. It survived the strong storms and the survival of the fittest. The newly established Huatou Bank is like a child without immunity. From the moment he was born, it has already predicted death. Let me ask, who would be willing to invest in such a Huatou Bank, and who would be willing to spend 1 billion US dollars to be a director?"
question!
A series of doubts.
There is a sneer among the doubts.
He mocked Song Zhichao for being a good tycoon, but he was not good at buying some bank, and he was more willing to be more than he could do.
You know, even a strong man like Boss Huo and Li Chaoren, a super tycoon with such strong assets, did not have the idea of opening a bank again. He is a young man, but he is a big deal in the world. I really don’t know who gave him the confidence and who gave him the courage.
Just as everyone was talking a lot of dissatisfaction, a shocking scene appeared.
The former head of Yongsheng Entertainment, the Xiang brothers collectively announced that as new members of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce, they are willing to invest billions of dollars to join the China Investment Bank.
As soon as this news came out, it was earth-shaking.
Why?
As we all know, Song Zhichao only annexed Yongsheng Entertainment half a year ago and became the World Film Alliance, making his own Phantom Entertainment dominate Xiangjiang. Logically speaking, the Xiang brothers and Song Zhichao are definitely mortal enemies, but now-
However, at the call of Song Zhichao, the Xiang brothers were the first to vote for a letter of vote - one billion US dollars, which is by no means a small amount.
What's going on?
Could it be that the Xiang brothers took the wrong medicine?
Did Song Zhichao use some magic? Otherwise, how could anyone really join?
Many Hong Kong media were once again slapped in the face.
But the one who was slapped in the face is still behind.
The Xiang brothers wanted to join the China Investment Bank and directly took out one billion US dollars, but were rejected by Song Zhichao.
Yes, you heard it right, you were rejected!
Song Zhichao doesn't want this billion US dollars, his tone is very tactful, but the meaning is very obvious. You are not qualified yet.
An uproar!
A collective uproar!
Some people have good investments, but they are still picky.
This Song Zhichao is too...unpredictable.
So, with the bitter begging of the Xiang brothers, Song Zhichao finally accepted the money "reluctantly" but he would not give the position of director for the time being. Let's see if there are any idle positions in the future.
In response to this, the Xiang brothers actually made accusation.
Yes, there was no protest or refutation, and it was like I had taken a big advantage - it was a default.
At this time, the media and those waiters had to face up to this Hua Investment Bank - what is its charm?
