After Li Guangyu left the Presidential Palace, he drove directly to the Peninsula Hotel. Today, Li Guobao and Chen Youqing invited him together, so he still had to give him face.
Li Guobao and Chen Youqing originally planned to invite Li Guangyu to go for a swim on the sea, and even the yacht was ready. However, Li Guangyu had been very busy during this period, so they could only invite Li Guangyu to have dinner at the Peninsula Hotel.
After all, they were thanking them for the stock market. It had been so long. If they didn't invite Li Guangyu, the time would be meaningless after a while, so they had to give up the idea of going out for fun.
At the same time, Li Guobao and Chen Youqing also admired Li Guangyu. Now that the Li Group has become so huge, Li Guangyu still has not relaxed at all. Instead, he works harder than themselves and others on the affairs of the Li Group, which makes them feel
Somewhat ashamed.
When Li Guangyu arrived at the Peninsula Hotel, he saw that neither Li Guobao nor Chen Youqing had entered the hotel, but were waiting for his arrival outside.
After Li Guangyu got off the car, he walked over and said, "Li Sheng and Chen Sheng, since you are here, why don't you go in first? It's not like I don't know the location."
Li Guobao said: "Li Sheng, we just arrived not long ago, and we are just waiting for you to go in together."
Li Guangyu estimated that the arrival of these two people would not be too short, and Li Guangyu did not say anything about it.
After arriving in the private room, Chen Youqing said: "Li Sheng, this time I took your ride and gained something in the stock market. I would like to thank you specially this time."
Li Guangyu said: "If you can make money, that is your own decision. I don't dare to take credit. During that time, weren't there some investment companies that started to follow me, but later couldn't bear it and liquidated their positions? It's all your own who can make money."
His ability has little to do with others.”
Li Guobao and Chen Youqing knew which investment companies Li Guangyu was talking about, but it was a pity that they did not persist and wasted this great opportunity to make money.
Li Guobao said: "Li Sheng, the reason why I dared to enter the stock market to short the Xiangjiang stock market this time is all because you made a heavy bet in it. Otherwise, I would not have the courage to short the stock market. I can do this this time."
Thanking you for the proceeds is what I have to do.”
Tonight's banquet was very sumptuous. Li Guobao and others prepared it according to Li Guangyu's preferences. Most of it was Sichuan cuisine.
While chatting while eating, Li Guobao made a suggestion to Li Guangyu, hoping that Li's financial group could form a strategic alliance with the Bank of East Asia and the Asian Commercial Bank to become the third pole in Hong Kong's financial community.
At present, Hong Kong is still dominated by two giants, Standard Chartered and HSBC. Although Tianyu Bank’s various business licenses are no worse than those of HSBC and Standard Chartered, Tianyu Bank is just a newly built bank, and its business volume is not too large, and its external expansion is still proceeding slowly, and HSBC
Compared with Standard Chartered's layout in Asia, it is too far away.
The Bank of East Asia and Asia Commercial Bank have enough customers, but they have not obtained some business licenses. If all their customers are diverted to Tianyu Bank, it will be a huge improvement for Tianyu Bank.
Of course, forming a strategic alliance with Tianyu Bank will also benefit Bank of East Asia and Asian Commercial Bank a lot. If they have a crisis in the future, Tianyu Bank will not be able to ignore them. There are also many investment cooperations, and they can also work with Tianyu Bank.
Do.
Li Guangyu thought for a while and agreed with their opinions. If he wanted to fight with HSBC and Standard Chartered, he would also need the support of a group of Chinese-funded banks. Especially in the future, if he wanted to obtain the right to issue Hong Kong dollar notes, he would not have the support of these Chinese-funded banks.
, there will be some difficulties.
Li Guangyu said: "Li Sheng and Chen Sheng, I agree with you. I will arrange for Ms. Luo Qianwen to discuss specific cooperation matters with you tomorrow. We are both Chinese-funded banks. I hope we can work together for mutual benefit and win-win in the future, so that British investors can
The consortium knows that Xiangjiang is no longer theirs."
Li Guobao and Chen Youqing were very happy when they heard Li Guangyu agreed. With Tianyu Bank as their backing, a general financial crisis would not be able to knock down their bank. Moreover, Li Guangyu's vision for economic development would make them very good.
to avoid many financial risks and allow banks to develop stably.
As for saying that their bank is inferior to Tianyu Bank, Li Guobao and Chen Youqing don't mind at all. Is there any other group in Xiangjiang that can compare with the Li Group? Their bank is not qualified to be the boss. Compared with being inferior to Standard Chartered,
With HSBC, they prefer to be under Tianyu Bank. At least when their own bank has something to do, Tianyu Bank will not ignore it with this relationship.
Li Guobao even suggested that Li Guangyu take the lead and they put pressure on the Financial Bureau to let Tianyu Bank also obtain the right to issue Hong Kong dollars.
After hearing this, Li Guangyu said: "Chen Sheng, Li Sheng, this matter is not urgent for the time being. We at Tianyu Bank are afraid that we will not be able to get this thing now. When Tianyu Bank was established, we made a promise to MacLehose
In order to ensure that we, Tianyu Bank, will not co-operate with Chinese-owned banks to put pressure on the Hong Kong Monetary Authority to obtain the right to issue Hong Kong dollar notes, and the British government will not want Tianyu Bank to obtain this power."
Li Guobao himself just made a suggestion, which could bring the distance between the two of him and Li Guangyu closer. As for whether it can succeed or not, it all depends on how the Li Group operates. They can wave the flag and shout if they can, but they have no way to do specific things.
.
The reason why Li Guobao and Chen Youqing want to form an alliance with Li Guangyu this time is because of the financial crisis. They also know that the property market will not last long. Once the property market collapses, many banks will be implicated, and the banking crisis is unlikely to
It will be far away.
And if a bank suffers a run, under the general environment, the two banks cannot escape such a problem. It is impossible for their banks not to lend money, which is their main profitable business. If they do not provide loans to enterprises, they will
Banks can only operate at a loss, and no bank would make such a choice.
Now they can only try to reduce real estate lending as much as possible to reduce losses when the time comes. With Tianyu Bank as their backing this time, they feel a lot more relieved.
Chen Youqing said: "Li Sheng, if you need anything related to banking in the future, you can contact me and Guobao. Although we don't have much ability, our Asian Commercial Bank and Guobao's Bank of East Asia will definitely stand by your side."
This side of the bank.”
Li Guangyu said: "Thank you for your trust and support in our Tianyu Bank. I also believe that Bank of East Asia and Asian Commercial Bank will only develop better and better under your leadership. You can rest assured that when your bank is in difficulty,
We at Tianyu Bank will not sit idly by."
Li Guangyu found that both Li Guobao and Chen Youqing had very high IQs. They were able to recognize themselves and how they should develop, and they did not set impossible goals for themselves. No wonder the Bank of East Asia and the Heung Kong Asian Commercial Bank in their previous lives were
Xiangjiang has been developing very well.
These two families really know the situation clearly. They are giving themselves so much face now. When the banking crisis comes, I will be embarrassed to leave them alone. If I let them fend for themselves in the crisis, who will be willing to form an alliance with me in the future?
.
Li Guobao and Chen Youqing enjoyed the meal very happily. They successfully achieved their goal this time, which was very beneficial to their bank.
