Faced with HSBC's active efforts to win over Chinese families, Li Guangyu would not sit still and hand over resources that benefit him in vain. If he did not pay enough attention to these families, why would they hand over their business to his bank?
On the morning of March 11, Li Guangyu told Gan Qin to make a batch of invitations. Li Guangyu invited all the major families to attend the celebration banquet of Jiayi Group’s market value exceeding HK$3 billion on the evening of the 13th.
Li Guangyu thought for a while, and this is the appropriate reason to invite the big guys now. As the Hong Kong stock market has been rising, the market value of Jiayi Group has officially exceeded the market value of HK$3 billion in the past two days, which is already quite high.
A market value of one. But Li Guangyu estimates that this is also the most glorious moment of Jiayi Group in recent years.
The next time we want to exceed the market value of 4 billion, I am afraid it will have to wait until four or five years. When July comes, even our own companies will be greatly affected. Jiayi Group and Kowloon Bus will definitely
This will cause the stock market to plummet.
After Li Guangyu finished giving orders to Gan Qin, he came to Tianyu Investment Company to inquire about the current progress.
Luo Qianwen said: "Li Sheng, we have obtained a banking license from the Monetary Authority. Now we only need to recruit personnel and establish our bank branches."
Li Guangyu didn't expect to get a banking license so quickly. The Financial Management Bureau was really fast this time.
Yuan Tianfan said: "Li Sheng, we have prepared all the information a long time ago, and the Monetary Authority has already reviewed it, but they have been delaying and unwilling to send it to us. This time, after you have discussed it with Mr. MacLehose,
, they just signed and agreed in the end.”
Li Guangyu said: "How did you prepare for the business outlets? How did you plan specifically?"
Yuan Tianfan said: "Li Sheng, we are planning to put the bank headquarters in Li's Building. We will make certain renovations on the first floor and use part of it for our Tianyu Bank. We are also planning to build a branch in Tianshuiwei.
As for the rest, we will consider it later."
Li Guangyu is not in a hurry to expand in Xiangjiang. Xiangjiang has not been having a good time in the past few years. Many banks will be unlucky next year. When they acquire some, they will naturally have branches. Li Guangyu pays more attention to external expansion, especially his
The Takarashima area of Japan where there is a lot of business.
Li Guangyu said: "Tianfan, you leave Xiangjiang to Ms. Luo. After you attend the Jiayi Group's celebration party in a few days, you will go to Baodao and Japan to communicate about our bank's entry and get as much money as possible.
While getting a bank license, get some more business licenses. In Baodao, you can visit Dean Sun Yunxuan, and the difficulty here should be less. As for Japan, take a look at the Sumitomo family's thoughts and ideas, and you will be happy when the time comes.
Lin for discussion."
At 7:30 pm on March 14, Li Guangyu and Cao Weiqing came to the Peninsula Hotel to greet all the guests who came today.
The heads of all the major families who received Li Guangyu's invitation letter came to the Peninsula Hotel today. They knew the purpose of Li Guangyu suddenly finding such a reason to invite him this time. This was for HSBC Bank
The response was also organized for the upcoming banking business of Lee Group.
Li Guangyu and Cao Weiqing waited outside the hotel until the celebration banquet was about to begin, then entered the hotel and went to the banquet hall, which could be said to have given all the big families face.
Today, all branches of the He family are here, and Luode Cheng Cao Wenjin is also helping Li Guangyu accompany the guests, so that the heads of the various families who come here will not feel left out.
At the beginning of the celebration banquet, Li Guangyu expressed his gratitude to everyone for coming. After talking about the achievements of Jiayi Group, Li Guangyu focused on the Tianyu Bank that was about to be established. He hoped that everyone could do well in their future business.
Cooperate with Tianyu Bank.
Without the slightest hesitation, Li Shauji said directly: "Guangyu, don't worry, as long as your Tianyu Bank is established, as long as you can withdraw money from your bank, our Shauji Group's business will be handed over to your Tianyu Bank."
Guo Desheng also immediately said: "Guangyu, our Sun Hung Kai Properties Group is the same. Uncle Guo has great confidence in your bank. I believe that Tianyu Bank will definitely be able to compete with HSBC and Standard Chartered in the near future."
Li Guangyu said: "Uncle Four, Uncle Guo, thank you for your trust in our bank. Don't worry, I have the confidence to develop our Tianyu Bank into an existence comparable to HSBC and Standard Chartered."
Relying on the memory of later generations and the financial support of the Li Group, Li Guangyu is very confident in the development of his bank. The only thing he lacks now is the right to issue Hong Kong dollars. Li Guangyu must find a way to get it in the future.
Later, Chen Xinglin, who has close business ties with Li Guangyu, also said that his own Xinglin Knitting Group would also transfer its business to Tianyu Bank.
Li Ka-shing said that all banking business of Cheung Kong Group would be handled by Tianyu Bank. As for Hutchison Whampoa Group, Li Ka-shing did not mention it.
The remaining families all said that when Tianyu Bank can handle overseas business in the future, they will hand over some of the company's business to Tianyu Bank. After all, many of their families have cooperated with Chinese banks in Hong Kong, and they cannot give up there.
The cooperation with other banks was transferred to Tianyu Bank, such as Bank of East Asia and Asian Commercial Bank, and Hang Lung Bank of the Chen Zengxi family.
Li Guangyu himself did not expect to get their business in Xiangjiang. Li Guangyu mainly wanted to grab their overseas business. This part was basically done by HSBC in the past. The current Chinese bank in Xiangjiang is the Bank of East Asia.
and Asian Commercial Bank can handle overseas business. Bank of East Asia is mainly located in the Taiwan Island area, and Asian Commercial Bank is backed by Pangu Bank of Thailand, so it can handle business in Thailand.
Li Guangyu wants to build Tianyu Bank into a world-class bank. Baodao and Japan are just the first steps for his expansion. Lisboa is much simpler, with Stanley Ho's influence there. Li Guangyu wants to
It is easier to establish branches there. In Malaysia and Thailand, with Cao Wenjin's relationship, banks can also be opened. As for other places, Li Guangyu will slowly open up.
Li Guangyu said: "Thank you elders for your support. Everyone knows that our Chinese family has been suppressed by the British consortium for a long time, and in financial banks, the British consortium is the overlord. Fortunately, we Chinese can unite
In unison, Chinese-owned families have slowly developed their own banks, such as Bank of East Asia, which is the leader of our Chinese banks."
"At the same time, in terms of exchanges, the establishment of the Far East Exchange has also provided our Chinese-owned group with a good platform, allowing us to get rid of some restrictions on our listing by the British-owned consortium. The establishment of our Tianyu Bank is to allow us
The Chinese-owned family has broken away from the monopoly of HSBC and Standard Chartered in overseas business, allowing everyone to have more choices."
Everyone is quite happy with the establishment of Li Guangyu Tianyu Bank. This has broken the monopoly of British banks in Hong Kong on overseas business. Whether they cooperate with Tianyu Bank or not, it will be good for them. They can use it as a bargaining chip in negotiations.
