At this time, Zhao Hong and Lao Dou basically just directed the moving of things.

"Ladou, how is the bank's investment in Japan now?" When Zhao Hong and Lao Dou were shopping with their mother, they took a break in a coffee shop, and he asked about what they had discussed some time ago.

What's going on with Ben's divestment?

After Lao Dou took a sip of coffee, he said: "Currently, 60% of the evacuation has been completed. It is expected that all the evacuation will be completed in another half a year. This time, we will really make a lot of money. When all is completed, there will be no

Below that number.”

Lao Dou showed two fingers and thumb, which means 20 billion US dollars.

He continued: "Hong Zai, it is really easy to make money this time, but I still feel uneasy. This is really a heartbeat!"

In fact, this is not the first time he has done this kind of thing since he took control of the bank. For example, during the global financial crisis in 1987, he also made a lot of money during it. Going back to 1982 to 1984,

At that time, the Hong Kong dollar was not very stable, and Mei Sheng Bank issued large sums of dollars against it.

These few times, our bank has expanded rapidly, and now it is one of the three giants in Hong Kong. Standard Chartered has been forgotten.

Some time ago, Macheng Bank was valued at about HK$200 billion by relevant financial newspapers. This number really scared many people to death, but after careful calculation, it is not an exaggeration at all and is too conservative.

Meisheng Bank has been developing at a very high speed in the past ten years. For others, it is a crisis, but for it, it is an opportunity. It has absorbed huge profits several times. It is difficult for the bank not to grow!

In recent years, Meisheng Bank has acquired many small banks in Hong Kong, most of which are Chinese-owned banks, or they hold shares in some Chinese-owned banks that have encountered crisis.

If you have money in your hands, you will be willful!

Zhao Hong was a little amused when she saw her father still being obedient after getting a bargain, "Haha, isn't this no problem at all? Besides, if we hadn't seized every opportunity, it would be hard for the bank to deal with it now."

"Yes, I remember that in 1979, the market value of our bank was only around 3 billion!"

"Among them, our own shareholding is only a little over 50%. How can it have increased more than a hundred times now? Moreover, our own shareholding is 95%. No one can take it away now."

Wow!"

Lao Dou said with emotion. When he said this, he looked at Zhao Hong with a look of relief. Zhao Hong brought all this. Now he is a little confused about how he gave birth to such a lucky man.

son.

What he is most proud of now is that he has two children who are better than others. Zhao Hong really does not deserve too much honor from him.

Our family can be considered a scholarly family, who has produced a great writer!

As for his daughter, he is also quite proud. DreamWorks, a big company, has completed in eleven years what he and his father have worked hard for their whole life.

He did some calculations in his spare time and found out that his assets are heading towards one trillion Hong Kong dollars!

This made him tremble with excitement just thinking about it. Three generations of hard work can achieve so much. Although it is not as large as other large conglomerates in the world, it is still a small giant in the world. It is said to be the most powerful in Xiangjiang.

The strength is also justified.

"Hongzai, what do you think if we let the bank go public?" Dadou said unexpectedly. His bank was a listed company before, but it was delisted in 1984. After so many years of development, as long as it goes public,

Banks will develop faster again.

"Dad, let's forget it!"

"Although the listing of the bank can bring in some money, we are not short of money ourselves!"

"Besides, it is easy for people to quarrel after going public. You also know that although our bank is one of the best in Southeast Asia, it is just a younger brother in the world."

"You don't know that many large consortiums want to invest in our company in the past few years, but these have been blocked. We haven't seen any action from them so far."

"This is mainly because they can't find the target to attack. The main reason is that our company is not a listed company, so if they want to launch an attack, there is nowhere to start!"

“It will be hard to say after it goes on the market!”

"Besides, our bank has reached a bottleneck. We are about to start developing inland. In this case, it will be difficult to attract more shareholders, especially if there are foreign shareholders holding shares."

Zhao Hong saw the fantasy on his father's face and couldn't help but interrupt his unrealistic delusion.

What he dislikes the most is all kinds of conspiracies. Meisheng Bank is already a small financial oligarchy, and there are countless secret assassinations. If his bank hadn't been listed, I don't know how many times he has gone through it.

A contest.

After hearing what Zhao Hong said, Lao Dou gave him a big roll of his eyes. He had been considering a plan for a long time, but it was criticized to pieces like this. Is it really okay?

"How are we going to enter the mainland? I have had a lot of dealings with senior executives of Bank of China, and I know that the mainland's current financial controls are quite strict."

Lao Dou really doesn't know what to do about this matter. He also knows that the mainland's economy is developing rapidly in the past few years. As long as he enters now, he will make a lot of money in a few years.

"Haha, actually I thought of something. As long as we help the mainland accomplish one thing, it will be much easier to enter the mainland." Zhao Hong said a little mysteriously.

"What's going on?" Dadou said very curiously.

"Haha, it's getting late, let's go back to my mother!"

"It's just that we can talk about it when we get back!"

Zhao Hong felt funny when he saw his father was very curious. He looked at the time and had been resting for a while. He had no time to talk about this matter anymore. Besides, it was not appropriate to talk about such important things in this coffee shop. Although

It's in the private room.

The next time I went shopping with my mother, my father was distracted, but he was scolded by her frequently, which made Zhao Hong secretly chuckle.

As soon as they got home, my father decided to go to the study with Zhao Hong to discuss the matter.

"How about we help Bank of China acquire Standard Chartered instead of telling me?" After entering the study room, Zhao Hong stopped trying to keep secrets and directly stated his plans.

In fact, this matter is very important to Bank of China, but they don't have the ability to swallow the elephant like a snake.

Why?

The main reason is that there are only two banks in Hong Kong that can issue Hong Kong dollars, HSBC and Standard Chartered, and both of them are British-owned banks. This will be very detrimental to the mainland's future governance of Hong Kong. To interrupt this monopoly, there are only two options: one is to continue

Add a bank that can issue Hong Kong dollars, and the other is to acquire one of Standard Chartered and HSBC.

The first is the unavoidable method. If we can acquire one of them, it will be of great benefit to the mainland. It will not only control part of the economic lifeline of Hong Kong, but also eliminate a British-owned bank. However, this idea cannot be put into practice.

The main reason for taking action is lack of money.

The current development of Bank of China in Xiangjiang is also very good, ranking fourth, but the gap compared with the top three is still too big.

Let’s not talk about HSBC. It is the bank with the highest market value in Hong Kong. Its current market value is more than 400 billion Hong Kong dollars and its deposits are more than 1 trillion Hong Kong dollars. It is not easy to acquire such a giant!

As for Standard Chartered, it is not a soft persimmon. Standard Chartered in Hong Kong is just a branch. Its market value is also US$7 to 8 billion. It is impossible to acquire it without real money.

After listening to Zhao Hong's words, Lao Dou was silent for a while. In fact, he was also eyeing Standard Chartered. If his own bank had the right to issue Hong Kong dollars, it would be more stable.

"Hongzai, isn't it good for our own bank to make acquisitions?" Dad couldn't help but ask.

"Haha, it's too conspicuous. At present, we still need to find a few more allies. This is the icing on the cake for us, but for the mainland, it is a timely help. The rewards in the future will be more than this."

"Besides, if Hong Kong returns, there is no room for negotiation if we want the right to release Hong Kong dollars. You must know that HSBC is not easy to deal with!"

Zhao Hong saw that her father was still a little unwilling, so she said: "Even now we can negotiate with the mainland. As long as Hong Kong returns, we can get the right to issue Hong Kong dollars. Besides, this is our certificate of investment to enter the mainland!"

Later, Zhao Hong told his father a lot. In fact, he just let the development of his bank take its course. In his mind, he still has the country first and then the family. At present, as long as Bank of China successfully acquires Standard Chartered, this will be very beneficial to the development of the mainland.

, he is still very happy to help his country without harming himself.

Besides, the country will never forget his help regardless of gain or loss, and will only get more.

Besides, it is also a good thing for Hong Kong to allow some forces from the mainland to take root and sprout in Hong Kong early.

In the end, Lao Dou was successfully persuaded by Zhao Hong.

Next, in the evening, Zhao Hong brought this matter up to discuss with the family. The old man was in favor of this matter, and her sister would not object.

In this way, the whole family is supportive of this, and the operation of this matter is left to Lao Dou.

It is said that my father went to visit President Xiao of the Bank of China the next day. They started chatting with each other as soon as they met. The two of them met frequently in Xiangjiang.

"President Zhao, why did I hear the magpies chirping today? It turns out that there are distinguished guests visiting!" They are now in the president's office on the top floor of the Bank of China Building.

This building is located at 2A Des Voeux Road Central in Central and was completed in 1950.

It’s just that the Bank of China will soon change its building. The Bank of China Building, which was designed by the Chinese-American architect I.M. Pei a few years ago and built on the original site of Murray Building, was completed this year and is expected to become the new headquarters next year.
