Chapter three hundred and twentieth Yongheng situation
On the morning of the 17th, Xiangyu Daily made Wing Hang Bank its front page headline, focusing on the story of its director Zhong Zhengwen of Jianing Group’s loan of HK$300 million from Wing Hang Bank with shares of Jianing Group, as well as the story of Yongheng Bank in the past few days.
Bank of England suffered a run.
Jiayi Comprehensive Channel, a subsidiary of Jiayi, also reported in detail on Wing Hang Bank on this day, and also sent a live broadcast team to Wing Hang Bank business locations for live broadcast.
The citizens of Xiangjiang were already worried about Wing Hang Bank. This sudden move by the Lee Group made the citizens who still had deposits in Wing Hang Bank even more worried about Wing Hang Bank. They all went to Wing Hang Bank branches to prepare for
Withdraw money from the bank.
People from all walks of life in Hong Kong saw that Li Guangyu was directly targeting Wing Hang Bank, and there was a lot of discussion about this. They knew the relationship between Feng Jingyao, chairman of Wing Hang Bank, and Lee Shau Kee and others, and Li Guangyu had a close relationship with Lee Shau Kee. What was the reason for Li's
The group will go all out to target Wing Hang Bank.
What the media in Hong Kong like most is when the Li Group causes trouble, so that they have a lot of topics to report on, and the newspaper's sales can increase a lot. During this period, they relied on the cooperation of the Li Group and the Jianing Group.
The thing is, their sales have always been very good.
Seeing that the citizens were gradually getting tired of this incident, they did not expect that the Li Group would cause trouble again. This time, some families were involved. Naturally, they were very excited. As soon as they went to work, they began to plan their own affairs.
Which people should I interview?
In Feng Jingyao's office at Wing Hang Bank, Feng Yubin reported to Feng Jingyao what happened today.
Seeing that Feng Jingyao seemed unmoved, Feng Yubin said, "Dad, didn't you go to discuss with Li Sheng and Uncle Li yesterday afternoon? Why are all the media under the Li Group breaking information that is not good for our Wing Hang Bank today?"
ah?"
Feng Yubin is now very worried about the bank. As a person who grew up in Hong Kong, he deeply understands that if the Li Group specifically targets Wing Hang Bank, their bank will be close to closing. Unexpectedly, even those who are close to him this time
Didn't Lee Shau Kee even take action?
Feng Jingyao did not inform Feng Yubin of yesterday's discussion with Li Guangyu. He did not want to reveal the news yet. He wanted to see how many bank employees could support him at the critical moment.
Feng Jingyao said, "Yubin, don't be so anxious. Sit down. The sky hasn't fallen yet. What are you worried about? Besides, we are not the ones who are most anxious now. Some people will be even more anxious."
Feng Yubin was not stupid. Seeing Feng Jingyao's calm expression, he knew that he must have known about this situation in advance, but he just didn't tell himself.
Feng Yubin asked, "Dad, what are your plans this time? If the Li Group promotes it like this, our bank will be close to closing. You can't watch the bank you built collapse."
Feng Yubin doesn't want Wing Hang Bank to end like this. He is still waiting to take over. If he goes out, it will be difficult for him to have the opportunity to be the helmsman of a bank. Moreover, how can other banks be as comfortable as his own?
Banks have many restrictions.
Feng Jingyao was still a little dissatisfied when he saw Feng Yubin's impatience. He was not a person doing big things. Knowing that he went to discuss with Li Guangyu and others yesterday, did he think that he would ignore Yongheng Bank?
Feng Jingyao said, "Don't ask so many questions, just do your own thing. Faced with the current situation, we at Wing Hang Bank will handle it how we should handle it."
Seeing that his father did not intend to tell him the truth, Feng Yubin immediately said, "Dad, this time it is Li Sheng Group who is reporting on our Yongheng Bank. Many of our plans are not used. Our department really can't handle this matter."
.”
If other newspapers had paid some money, or used the Feng family's connections, they could have easily suppressed this matter. Facing the Li Group this time, he had no choice. The Li Group could do anything.
Compared to the Feng family, these methods have no effect on the Li Group.
Feng Jingyao said, "This matter may be due to the negotiations yesterday morning. If you can't handle it, go report it to Director Batty and ask for their opinions. They are the major shareholders of our bank. You let them make the decision."
After Feng Yubin heard what Feng Jingyao said, he said goodbye and left Feng Jingyao's office.
When Feng Yubin reported to Feng Jingyao, Roy Barty had already learned about today's situation and was currently discussing the matter with Jim Anderson in his office.
Roy Batty said, "Mr. Anderson, it seems that the Lee Group is not planning to negotiate with us. Today's action is obviously to put our Wing Hang Bank to death."
Jim Anderson is very irritable now. He originally wanted to let HSBC step in and benefit from it, but now it seems unlikely. HSBC is not easy to deal with, and he definitely wants to take what he has.
Regarding stocks, Jim Anderson did not agree to the conditions offered by Shen Bi at that time.
If you want to sell your shares, why would you ask HSBC? Wouldn't it be better for the Li Group?
I originally planned to continue to communicate with the Li Group, hoping to get less shares, but I didn't expect that the Li Group did not follow common sense. After just one round of negotiations, they no longer planned to continue the negotiation with me. After the Li Group did this
After some reports and the influence of the Lee Group, Jim Anderson knew that this time Wing Hang Bank would not fare well.
Jim Anderson said, "Barty, what about the previous partners of Wing Hang Bank? Can we let them release some good news for our bank to dilute the impact of the Lee Group report?"
Roy Batty said, "Mr. Anderson, the key partners of our group are Mr. Lee Shau Kee, Mr. Kwok Desheng and Mr. Feng Jingxi, but these are all good friends with the Lee Group, and Li Guangyu is also a shareholder of Sun Hung Kai Properties Group and Shau Kee Group.
, I’m afraid they won’t take action.”
Jim Anderson said, "Go and ask Mr. Feng to see what his plans are. At the same time, contact the Li Group. I hope to visit Mr. Li Guangyu. Do you have time there?"
Jim Anderson plans to communicate directly with Li Guangyu this time. He knows that if this continues, in the end, the shares in his hands may be worthless, and the US$100 million he supports Wing Hang Bank will also be in danger.
When Feng Yubin just walked out of Feng Jingyao's office, he saw Roy Batty coming here.
Feng Yubin said, "Mr. Batty, I was about to go to your office, but I didn't expect you to come here."
Roy Batty said, "Manager Feng, I need to see Mr. Feng. If you have anything, we can discuss it after I finish talking to Mr. Feng."
In Li Guangyu's office in Tianyu Building, Gan Qin was reporting to Li Guangyu about the situation of Wing Hang Bank.
After hearing this, Li Guangyu said to Gan Qin, "Instruct Ms. Zhou Liang and Liu Sheng not to stop reporting on issues related to Yongheng Bank without my order."
Gan Qin replied, "Li Sheng, don't worry. Ms. Zhou Liang and Liu Sheng reported that they have arranged the report for a week. If you don't stop it by then, they will continue to arrange it. This time Yongheng Bank may have some problems."
So sad."
Gan Qin used to work in Japan and didn't know much about the increasing influence of the Li Group in the past two years. Only when she was transferred back to work as an assistant next to Li Guangyu did she feel the influence that the Li Group has on the entire Hong Kong.
How much influence is there.
If the Governor of Hong Kong had not intervened to mediate the competition between the Lee Group and the Jardine Group last year, the Lee Group would have had greater influence.
Today, the Lee Group owns the dominant media group in Asia, the Xiangjiang Telephone Group, which controls the communications of Xiangjiang citizens, and the largest bus company. There are more than 30,000 workers in the Lee Industrial Park serving the Lee Group. The Lee Group
There are also plans to establish its own hotel group, plus a real estate group and a supermarket group, which have touched many aspects of citizens' lives.
She believes that in the future, the Li Group will enter quite a few public service industries in Hong Kong, such as the Heung Kong Electric Lighting Group, which was abandoned last year. The Li Group is still a shareholder of that group, although it is currently controlled by Jardine Matheson. Li Sheng is not interested in this.
I haven't forgotten, I'm just waiting for the opportunity.
Gan Qin has already seen a consortium gradually taking shape. Perhaps in the future, a Xiangjiang citizen can spend his life using only the products of the Li Group. It is scary to think about it.
Li Guangyu saw that Gan Qin was a little stunned and said to Gan Qin, "Gan Qin, what are you thinking about?"
"Li Sheng, I didn't think about anything. Do you have any instructions?" Gan Qin quickly replied after coming back to his senses.
Li Guangyu said, "Contact Li Weiming and the others. Ask them to send people to pay attention to the situation of Jim Anderson and others, and don't let them buy the shares directly to HSBC. If that happens, we will be in vain."
"
Gan Qin said, "Li Sheng, I will inform Li Weiming right away."
As the HSBC bank that caused this incident, Shen Bi also knew the news early on. He did not expect that Li Guangyu would be so decisive. Yesterday he was thinking of buying a stake in Wing Hang Bank, and today he is preparing to trample Wing Hang Bank to death.
Shen Bi was very aware of Li Guangyu's plan. He wanted to use this action to force Owen Trust Company to transfer its shares in Wing Hang Bank and complete the Li Group's purpose of entering the bank.
But now Shen Bi has no way to deal with this problem. HSBC can't be a bad guy just to prevent the Li Group from entering the banking industry. If it wants to pull Wing Hang Bank out of the quagmire amid the Li Group's attack, this way
The price is not light, and the board of directors of HSBC would not agree to do this without benefit.
After Shen Bi thought for a while, he called the manager of the administrative department and told her, "Assign some of our staff to pay more attention to the situation at Yongheng Bank, especially the situation of Jim Anderson and Feng Jingyao.
If you have any news, please report it to me immediately."
"Okay, Chairman, do you have any other instructions?" Manager Su said.
Shen Bi said, "Inform the bank directors to have a meeting in the conference room in an hour."
This time Shen Bi will discuss with the directors whether HSBC needs to take over Jim Anderson's shares once he transfers them.
