On the morning of September 7, before Zheng Yaoyang arrived in Xiangjiang, he received an emergency call from Ma Yun on the plane.
The three Baltic countries have just declared independence. All three countries are very small, with a total area of only half of Japan, and they occupy less than 1% of the total territory of the Soviet Union.
But their independent representation is of great significance.
Due to their favorable geographical location, their importance to Lao Su is no less than sea cucumber feeding.
Their declaration of independence and the founding of the country not only meant that the Soviet Union suddenly lost three important sea ports to Europe.
The impact is still very bad. The younger brother rebels. If the older brother does not express his views, it means that the older brother cannot protect himself, and the big red country may really die.
"How are you doing there?"
Zheng Yaoyang looked boredly outside the cabin. The day had come. He had no feelings for Lao Su at all. It was just that Lao Su's collapse meant that Lao Mei was unstoppable.
The United States, which dominates the world, means that he will not be so strict in the future. It is his and not his, and I am afraid that he will have a hand in it.
Those who follow will prosper, and those who go against will perish. Once they taste the benefits, they will start to play the role of the world's police.
Ma Yun listened to the sound of gunfire coming from outside and smiled bitterly: "The situation is not very good, but it is not very bad either."
He had to admire Zheng Yaoyang's foresight. In recent months, Mokos had been in turmoil, and various military and police departments were neglecting their duties, and zero-dollar shopping was carried out every day.
Explosions often sounded in the streets, and sometimes it was impossible to save money to eliminate the disaster. Fortunately, Zhao Wenle and the others protected them, and they were able to repel the waves of invading enemies.
Zheng Yaoyang said: "If the situation is not right, withdraw. You will never make enough money. Don't risk your life."
Since offending Balk in the oil market and letting Ma Yun go to Mokos, it has lost its original meaning.
After giving the first start-up capital, Zheng Yaoyang intended to make a clear relationship with Ma Yun.
After all, if this matter is not handled well, you may not make much money, and you may even get into trouble.
Ma Yun pondered for a moment: "Okay, Mr. Zheng, but I probably won't leave just yet."
He was unwilling and reluctant to give up. Despite the turmoil, he enjoyed no power in the country here.
As long as he can become the oligarch behind the scenes,
"Whether you want to go or stay, you decide for yourself."
Zheng Yaoyang smiled faintly and could clearly feel the change in Ma Yun's mood.
After all, money and power are heroic and courageous. The more chaotic the world is, the more opportunities there are. Ma Yun has been in Mokos for more than a year, so it is normal for changes to occur.
I just have an inexplicable feeling that I can't help my father.
Zheng Yaoyang burst out laughing in shock, probably because he was used to being a father in Tokyo.
In the afternoon, the plane arrived at Kai Tak Airport in Hong Kong. Zheng Yaoyang called Wade to ask about the place where he and President Wu would meet, and then set off directly.
As soon as President Wu saw Zheng Yaoyang at the Bank of China Building, he talked about the post-disaster reconstruction situation in the disaster-stricken areas in East China. The people in the mainland were very grateful to the Hong Kong compatriots for their help.
Aid funds from Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan, and overseas totaled US$470 million. Hong Kong alone raised US$300 million, accounting for more than half.
All this is thanks to the charity performance organized by the Universal Group and the specially shot movie. The big leaders in the mainland told him that he must say thank you personally when he sees Zheng Yaoyang.
Zheng Yaoyang smiled and said: "We are all compatriots. President Wu, you have said thank you too many times. If you say more, you obviously treat us as outsiders."
"Haha, sorry, sorry."
President Wu was all smiles. With Zheng Yaoyang's help and the support of Fuxing Bank, their work should go smoothly after their return.
The two exchanged a few words, and he called his assistant to bring out the company's information, which detailed the stocks held by Bank of China and the final total valuation.
When a company performs share exchange, whether it is financial statements or assets held, it must be re-evaluated.
Zheng Yaoyang also called Zhang Qifeng and asked him to bring out Fuxing's information and let personnel from both parties verify the information.
"How many shares does Fuxing plan to sell this time?"
"10% will be used for the share exchange between our two companies, and 10% will be used for financing at the financing reception in a few days."
"Do you have any plans to go public in the future?"
"As long as the time is right, it will be listed."
Banks are different from other industries. Relying on reputation and using money to generate money is the most basic operating logic.
If you want to become bigger and stronger, it cannot be an individual asset, so going public is an inevitable choice.
When the evaluation results came out, Zheng Yaoyang did not expect that Bank of China, known as the third oldest company in the world, would be so promising.
Fuxing Bank can only exchange 10% of its shares for 7.5% of Bank of China's shares, which also means that Bank of China's assets held reach US$28.3 billion.
But then I thought about it, it’s normal. Ranked ahead of Bank of China are HSBC and Standard Chartered Bank. Both are British banks with a century of history. They have the right time, place and people.
On the other hand, Bank of China entered the Hong Kong market within ten years, and it has been able to steadily reach the third position, which is enough to prove its strength.
President Wu could not help but lament that they had been working hard for nine years with the back of the mainland, while Fuxing was established less than a year ago.
Sometimes, you really can't compare, otherwise you will feel that you have lived like a dog in the past.
The big boss determines the direction of cooperation, and then only his subordinates are required to implement and proofread it.
A few days later, the Fuxing Bank's Series A financing reception began, and Zheng Yaoyang also saw Wells, his face glowing red, almost having good things coming written on his face.
Zheng Yaoyang smiled and said: "Mr. Wells, I heard that you have been promoted?"
Wells smiled 'shyly', held up his hands and said, "Thanks to Mr. Zheng, I have been promoted a little. Whether I can sit firmly depends on Mr. Zheng's support."
Because Stephen's plan to snipe Fuxing failed, he returned to London twenty years early to retire.
The British headquarters could not find a qualified Lao Gang to manage the work of Hong Kong HSBC for a while.
Wells is the head of the investment department and has worked in Xiangjiang for more than 20 years, making him the most suitable replacement.
He has become the executive director of Hong Kong HSBC. Whether he can secure this position depends on his performance.
Upon hearing that Fuxing Bank was planning to raise funds, Wells immediately responded positively and planned to obtain the qualification to lead the investment.
Under Stephen's management, HSBC sold a lot of stocks in exchange for a lot of cash flow.
Now Fuxing is short of money,
I am planning to raise funds. Isn’t this a coincidence?
Wells told Zheng Yaoyang his suggestion. From now on, everyone in Hong Kong's banking industry will coexist peacefully, just to make money, and don't hurt the harmony.
After all, in the eyes of businessmen, there is no hatred that cannot be resolved, as long as it is profitable.
Wells also urgently needs to make results, perform well, and prove that he is qualified for this position.
Zheng Yaoyang patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Wells, we have known each other for so many years, how could I not help you with this favor?"
A skinny camel is bigger than a horse,
It is now 1991,
Xiangjiang is still a colony,
It is unrealistic to kill HSBC all at once.
"Thank you so much."
Wells was so excited that he gave Zheng Yaoyang a bear hug. The two just looked at each other and said nothing.
Now that the two sides are shaking hands and making peace, they can indeed maximize their interests, but cooperation is cooperation, and they will not show mercy when it comes time to be ruthless in the future.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, the financing reception was officially held.
Fuxing Bank was initially valued at US$21.22 billion and provided 10% of its shares for financing.
HSBC invested US$1.061 billion, accounting for 5% of the shares, and led Fuxing Bank’s Series A financing.
Followed closely by Standard Chartered and Bahrain, each investing US$318.3 million for 1.5% of the shares, and finally it was the turn of well-known outside venture capital institutions such as Goldman Sachs and Sequoia.
In the eyes of most entrepreneurs, financial institutions that are like gods descending from the sky are just insignificant and small roles in the financing receptions of large banks.
Banks are the ceiling of all industries, and they are also the parent company of financial institutions. The little money they have and the resources they provide are really not enough.
