"I'll go to work tomorrow, and I'll give you the news the day after tomorrow," Shen Zong said. Guo Yongren nodded, and the two changed the topic and started discussing other things.
At this time, he remembered the knock on the door. When Guo Yongren saw it, the chef came with lunch. Guo Yongren stood up with a smile, opened the door and let the chef in. It was very rich, and it smelled of fragrance, which was very good.
Guo Yongren and Shen Zhou started to taste it, and it was quite good. Shen Zhou loved fish heads, and Guo Yongren loved fish soup and sashimi. They had all of these. They were eating, drinking and chatting, and the atmosphere was great. It was very good. Shen Zhou was old after all. After eating, Guo Yongren went out and asked Shen Zhou to rest in the cabin for a while. Shen Zhou was not polite and fell down to sleep, while Guo Yongren continued fishing outside.
Looking at the watch on his wrist, it was four o'clock. He signaled to Fang Zhan, and the yacht started to start and slowly drove back. Guo Yongren looked at the four fish in the bucket. They were not small. He was satisfied, and took the bucket. Came back, and Shen Zhou also woke up at this time.
After chatting in the cabin, the yacht soon returned to the port. Guo Yongren helped Shen Zhou get off the boat, helped Shen Zhou get into the car, and then watched Shen Zhou leave. Shen Zhou, like Bao Yugang, helped Guo Yongren when he was weak. Guo Yongren has a lot of protection from wind and rain, which is also the key to Guo Yongren's smooth development. Otherwise, there are many people who want to eat Guo Yongren halfway, but they all consider the reasons of Bao Yugang and Shen Zhou and do not do it.
Guo Yongren also took today's harvest home by car. He handed it to the kitchen at home and explained that there would be fish soup for dinner tonight, and then returned to the living room. Uncle Fang brought a pot of tea, and Guo Yongren drank it slowly.
After Shen Chou went back to work the next day, he issued a notice that the board of directors would be held early tomorrow morning to discuss important matters. HSBC had many board members. Bao Yugang and Li Jiacheng were both directors of HSBC, but neither of them paid attention. It’s almost the end of the year, and companies are holding board meetings more frequently, and HSBC holds the same meeting without taking it seriously.
The next day, the directors of HSBC gathered in the large office on the top floor. Shen Cong did not have the largest number of shares, but his performance since taking office won the support of the directors and he became chairman. Basically, they all came.
"Everyone, I called everyone here today to discuss one thing, that is, Mr. Guo Yongren, the chairman of Umbrella, asked me for a loan. The amount is a bit large. I hope all directors can seriously consider it." Shen Porridge looked at The director who was working told the matter.
Bao Yugang and Li Jiacheng were stunned and looked at each other. Guo Yongren was short of money. How could this be possible? They knew that they all cared about Guo Yongren and knew that all branches under Guo Yongren's name were making profits. How could this be possible? There will be a shortage of money. The other directors were also stunned. Guo Yongren was not an unknown person in their circle. The personal savings in his account were not less than one billion Hong Kong dollars. How could he be short of money? Is there any mistake?
"Director Shen, is there no money in Guo Yongren's account?" a British man asked. He felt incredible. He knew Guo Yongren's information very clearly. In his memory, who in Hong Kong would be short of money? Guo Yongren didn't. There will be a shortage of money.
"Yes, there are still more than one billion Hong Kong dollars. If you include the profits handed over by his various branches at the end of this month, he still has 2 billion Hong Kong dollars in his account." Shen Zhou said truthfully, and many people breathed a sigh of relief. , let me tell you, this kid will be short of money, everyone is relieved, including Bao Yugang and Li Jiacheng, both of them smiled bitterly, Guo Yongren is probably the only one who is short of money for so much money.
"He has so much money, how can he bring it with him?" a director said sourly. Many people nodded and agreed with this sentence. Although all their net worth is so much, it is all stocks and assets. This glorious man said sourly. There is only so much cash, it is really incomparable.
"It's very simple. Mr. Guo Yongren said that the Hong Kong dollar is worthless and we need a loan of US dollars and pounds, no less than one billion." After Shen Zhou said this, many people took a breath and looked at each other. They all saw The shock in each other's eyes.
"The Hong Kong dollar is not valuable. I guess he is the only one in Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan who dares to say this." Another British man said with a smile. At this time, everyone in the room laughed, and most of them shook their heads and smiled bitterly.
Although everyone laughed, they didn't mean to look down on Guo Yongren at all. Some just expressed deep admiration. If you don't agree, Guo Yongren is qualified to say this. This is because Guo Yongren's record is here. If other people are like this What he said must have been laughed at by everyone, but this is what Guo Yongren said, and no one laughed at him. This is the prestige brought by the results. Although it is not obvious yet, it is already there.
"One billion U.S. dollars is not a small amount. What did he use as collateral?" A British man said. This matter must be studied carefully. The amount is not small.
"He used Umbrella Real Estate Company, Umbrella Pictures, and Asia Television as collateral," Shen Cong said directly, and the people below began to discuss it. Bao Yugang sat down with the Li family, and the two looked at each other. look.
Li Jiacheng leaned towards Bao Yugang and said, "Old Bao, do you think Yongren did this, is it related to that incident?" Li Jiacheng asked, and Bao Yugang thought for a moment.
"It's almost the same. I think Yongren is going to do it hard this time. He has said more than once that the Hong Kong dollar is worthless." Bao Yugang said in a low voice. Li Jiacheng nodded, which was pretty much what he had guessed. .
"Old Bao, you can't miss this opportunity. This time Yongren is willing to take us to play. It should be because he just entered the circle and can't get rid of it. It won't be possible next time. This kind of thing is indispensable. You tell us, we Should we increase the amount of funds given to him?" Li Jiacheng said in a low voice.
Bao Yugang was stunned for a moment, and after thinking about it, what Lao Li said made sense. Guo Yongren had just joined the top ten richest people this time, so he couldn't hide his face before he said it. Next time, Guo Yongren probably won't be able to open his mouth any more. After all, the fewer people who know about this kind of thing, the better.
"Let's see, our funds cannot exceed Yongren's funds, otherwise..." Bao Yugang said and looked at Li Jiacheng. Li Jiacheng nodded, understanding what Bao Yugang meant. Both of them stopped talking.
They all bowed their heads to discuss this matter with the people around them. At this time, an old man spoke, "Director Shen, his assets are not worth a billion dollars. I think it is better to dismiss this matter." What he said As soon as he said this, many people were stunned.
This man is called Jin Zehui, he is of mixed Chinese and English descent. He can be said to be Shen Chou's biggest competitor. He has always been able to peek into the chairman's throne. However, he has never had the chance. Basically, he has to oppose all Shen Chow's proposals. Yes, it has become a habit.
"Yes, his assets are indeed not worth a billion US dollars, but I hope you will consider one thing, that is Guo Yongren himself. I think he is worth a billion US dollars. We have always cooperated well. He is in the stock market futures The channel above has been used by our HSBC, which gives us a large commission every year. I hope you will consider it carefully," Shen Zhou said directly.
He didn't care about Jin Zehui at all. This attitude made Jin Zehui very uncomfortable, but no, he was old and wealthy, so he smiled and said nothing. This decision was not easy to make.
"Everyone, let me tell you another piece of news," Shen Porridge continued, attracting everyone's attention.
"I asked Mr. Guo Yongren what to do if HSBC doesn't approve you. He said that he would talk to Citibank and Barclays. Everyone, these are our main competitors. As far as I know, Guo Yongren is in Citibank. The deposit is no less than 300 million U.S. dollars. As for Barclays, I don't know. This is a big customer and I really don't want to lose it," Shen Zhou said directly.
