At noon, Li Guangyu greeted Sumitomo Kimura, chairman of Sumitomo Bank, who had just arrived in Hong Kong, at the Peninsula Hotel.
Sumitomo Kimura was very happy that Li Guangyu could personally take over the business for him. This was not the first time that he had seen the Li Group during the Li Guangyu period.
At that time, the Li Group was just a stronger Chinese-owned family in Xiangjiang. It was just because they cooperated with the Fujiwara family that I hoped to win them over.
What he didn't expect was that in just a few years, the Li's Consortium had developed into a large-scale consortium in Asia. Although the Li's Consortium was not yet as powerful as their consortium, if his consortium was in Xiangjiang and Baodao
If the region competes with the Li Group, I will probably lose in the end.
Sumitomo Kimura was very fortunate that he had established a good relationship with Li Guangyu, which enabled the Sumitomo family and the Lee Foundation to have a very good relationship in recent years. Many businesses of the Lee Foundation and its interest groups in Japan would cooperate with their Sumitomo Foundation.
The mainland's reform continues to advance. Currently, Japan and the Hong Kong business community are the main forces entering the mainland market. This time Sumitomo Kimura came to Xiangjiang in the hope of establishing a bridgehead in Xiangjiang to prepare for their financial industry's entry into the mainland.
The series of crises that broke out in Hong Kong allowed him to see such an opportunity, especially after the thunderstorm occurred in Yong'an Bank. After Sumitomo Kimura got the news, he came to Hong Kong specifically today.
He plans for Sumitomo Bank to acquire Wing On Bank and build Wing On Bank into the main force in entering the mainland financial market in the future.
When he came to the Xiangjiang boundary, he also hoped to communicate with Li Guangyu about Yongan Bank in advance. After all, this was Li Guangyu's home field, and the Sumitomo family and he were considered allies.
Moreover, if Wing On Bank wants to develop well in Xiangjiang, it cannot do without the help of the Li's Consortium. Although its own consortium has no problem with its financial resources, the citizens of Xiangjiang have completely lost confidence in Wing On Bank. In this regard, the Li's Consortium is needed.
Help them so that Yong'an Bank's current image among the public can be reversed.
Sumitomo Kimura knew very well that if Wing On Bank was solely owned by the Sumitomo family, it would be very difficult to enter the mainland. But with Xiangjiang Capital in it, it would be completely different.
He himself plans to invite Li Guangyu to take some shares in Yong'an Bank. In this way, Yong'an Bank will definitely develop quite well in the mainland with the support of Li's consortium and his family in the future.
As for the Xiangjiang market, Sumitomo Kimura doesn't have many ideas. As long as Yong'an Bank can maintain its current scale, the market here will only be the market of the Li Group and its interest groups. At present, financial institutions and banks in Xiangjiang are too weak.
It's crowded.
In such a small place, there are three top banks in Asia, followed by a large number of strong regional banks. At this time, Sumitomo Kimura has no intention of entering the bank to compete with them for the market.
The Sumitomo Foundation's market is at home, in the United States, and they are currently attacking the major American consortiums in the U.S. market. At this time, they do not have much energy to come to Hong Kong to compete with the Lee Consortium and the British-funded consortium.
Sumitomo Kimura said, "Mr. Li, my uncle asked me to say hello to you on his behalf. I also hope that you can visit our family when you have time."
Li Guangyu knew that the uncle Sumitomo Kimura was talking about was Sumitomo Qiying, the head of the Sumitomo family. He said, "Thanks to the Sumitomo patriarch for the invitation. When I have time, I will go to Tokyo to visit the Sumitomo patriarch."
This time Sumitomo Kimura suddenly came to visit in a situation like this in Hong Kong. I don’t know what the Sumitomo family is planning. The battle between several major Japanese consortiums and local consortiums in the United States is not over yet. The Sumitomo family should not pay attention.
Let’s focus our efforts on Xiangjiang.
Sumitomo Kimura said, "Mr. Li, I came to Xiangjiang this time because I hope to cooperate with your Lee Foundation and at the same time deepen the relationship between the Lee Foundation and our Sumitomo family."
Li Guangyu felt more relieved after hearing this. At this time, he really didn't want to compete with the Japanese consortium. At present, the foundation of the Li Group is still relatively weak, and it is still far behind the major Japanese consortiums. At this time, he started a fight with them.
The development of Li Group is quite unfavorable.
Li Guangyu replied, "Our Li Group has always maintained a friendly cooperative relationship with your Sumitomo family. I also hope to deepen the cooperation between the two parties. I wonder what aspect you are planning to cooperate with when you come here this time?"
Sumitomo Kimura then talked about the broad prospects on the mainland, and Xiangjiang is the bridgehead for the world's major cross-border groups to enter the mainland. The Sumitomo family hopes to win a financial institution in Xiangjiang so that its financial industry can enter the mainland in the future.
develop.
Moreover, he also mentioned the current financial situation in Hong Kong and the Wing On Bank, which is on the verge of bankruptcy, and hoped that Li Guangyu could cooperate with Sumitomo Bank to win this bank.
Li Guangyu is very aware of the future potential of the mainland market, and no multinational company can ignore the mainland's market of more than one billion people.
Just like the investment bank Goldman Sachs in the United States, it started its layout a few years ago, just to be able to enter the mainland market first among its peers in the future, so that its own company can take the lead.
The Sumitomo Foundation has already had a lot of cooperation with mainland China, but there are some difficulties in the financial industry. It is easier for Chinese investors. Companies like Sumitomo Bank cannot enter the mainland market for the time being.
This time Sumitomo Bank plans to acquire Wing On, and also plans to acquire it through a joint venture with him. This is really a clever move. As long as Wing On Bank and Sumitomo Bank are involved, it can immediately come back to life. At the same time, when entering the mainland market, it can also
Reduce a lot of trouble.
As for the acquisition of Wing On Bank with Sumitomo Bank, Li Guangyu has no objections. Anyway, Sumitomo Bank will take the decision in the future, and he will just be an investor. He believes that Wing On Bank will achieve very good future development in the hands of the Sumitomo family.
profit.
Li Guangyu said, "Mr. Sumitomo, I have no objection to the joint venture acquisition of Yong'an Bank. I believe that Yong'an Bank, under your leadership, will be able to bring me generous returns. I will ask Ms. Luo Qianwen to communicate with you in detail in the afternoon."
Cooperation matters."
Sumitomo Kimura was very happy that Li Guangyu agreed to cooperate in the acquisition of Yong'an Bank. At the same time, he also heard from Li Guangyu's words that Yong'an Bank will be dominated by his family in the future, and the Li's consortium has no intention of overshadowing the company.
Regarding Luo Qianwen, Sumitomo Kimura also knew some information about her. She was the vice president of Tianyu Financial Group and the second person in charge of the flagship group of the Li Group. She was also a core member of the Xiangjiang Luo family.
The Xiangjiang Luo family, the He family, and the Cao family are Li Guangyu's die-hard allies. They are now basically a group of interests, and their relationship is very stable.
Sumitomo Kimura said, "Mr. Li, I am very happy to reach this cooperation with you. I believe you will not be disappointed with this cooperation in the future. Our Sumitomo Foundation also hopes to maintain this kind of friendship with the Lee Foundation."
.”
Li Guangyu is still very comfortable with the current cooperation with the Sumitomo Foundation. The Sumitomo family has also given him a lot of help in his industrial expansion in Japan.
