On the morning of the next day, the heads of major banks and financial institutions in Hong Kong came to the Governor's Mansion to attend the Hong Kong Financial Conference hosted by Governor Youde. The heads of the top families in Hong Kong were also specially invited to attend.
The McBurney Deshawn incident was the highest-ranking official in Hong Kong that was taken down by the Independent Commission Against Corruption after its establishment. It had a huge influence and had a very bad impact on Hong Kong's economic development.
It's just that Li Guangyu felt that the McBurney Deshawn incident was specially announced by the Hong Kong government or the British government in order to create pressure on the current situation in Hong Kong.
Otherwise, knowing that the current property market and financial situation in Xiangjiang is not very good, at this time, you still want to bring out the director of the Xiangjiang Financial Management Bureau. Isn't this obviously going to aggravate the current situation in Xiangjiang?
What’s even more bizarre is that the day before yesterday, the Jardine Matheson Group moved its registered address. In the afternoon, he announced that he would increase investment in Xiangjiang to stabilize the confidence of Xiangjiang citizens and offset the negative impact of the Jardine Matheson Group.
Yesterday, it emerged that McBurney Deshawn was brought in by the Independent Commission Against Corruption for accepting bribes and dereliction of duty. This is the director of the Hong Kong Monetary Authority. Without the approval of Governor Youde and Britain, how could the Independent Commission Against Corruption dare to hire him?
Please come in.
Li Guangyu didn't believe that Youde and Ying Lun didn't know the current situation in Xiangjiang and how much influence McBurney Deshawn would have on the financial market in Xiangjiang.
Li Guangyu has no choice but to lead the Li consortium and interest groups to stabilize the current situation. Fortunately, due to his arrival, East Asia, Asia Business, Sun Hung Kai and Hong Kong Bank have not fallen into this situation.
During this crisis, it has preserved its strength very well. In the future, Chinese capital will not let HSBC and Standard Chartered occupy the majority of the market share in the financial market in Hong Kong.
Li Guangyu saw that Chen Zengxi, the chairman of Hang Lung Group, looked very haggard, and it seemed that he was also deeply affected by the crisis.
At the meeting, Youde demanded that major banks and financial institutions must abide by Hong Kong's laws and refrain from bribing public officials. At the same time, they must consciously abide by the rules and regulations of the Monetary Authority, strictly control the risks of banks and financial institutions, and avoid crises.
At the same time, Youde asked all banks to try their best to maintain the normal operations of banks and financial institutions, and not to learn from Xie Liyuan Gold Shop and choose to evade the matter.
Youde said: "Unless you apply for bankruptcy to the government, if someone chooses to avoid it like Xie Liyuan Gold Shop, our government will pursue it to the end. At the same time, our Financial Management Bureau will once again strengthen the supervision of your banks and financial institutions. This time we will also
Officers from the Independent Commission Against Corruption and the Hong Kong Economic Crime Bureau will assist to prevent the Xie Liyuan Gold Shop incident from happening again."
Many people at the meeting looked unhappy. Many of their own banks are probably in a state of crisis. Once the Financial Management Bureau strengthens supervision, they are likely to be bankrupted and liquidated.
Especially this time, some bank leaders who are related to McBurney Deshawn will not only face big problems in their banks, but the Independent Commission Against Corruption will not let them go, and the bribery crime will be against them.
Currently, Li Guangyu and Feng Jingxi are in the most relaxed mood. Due to the relatively strict control over the real estate industry in the early stage, their bank did not have major bad debts, and the bank's reserve funds are relatively sufficient, so they are not worried about a run.
Those who at first laughed at them for being stupid and turning away customers even if they had no money, now all of them have sad faces. They had already discussed it yesterday and would not rescue them now.
After they go bankrupt, several major banks will acquire these small and medium-sized banks to expand their own business and stabilize the financial situation in Hong Kong.
After the meeting, Governor Youde left Li Guangyu alone to communicate with him about the current situation in Hong Kong.
In the small living room, Youde said to Li Guangyu, who was sitting across from him: "Mr. Li, your approach this year is very different from that of the previous two years. It seems that you still have high hopes for the future development of Xiangjiang."
Hope."
Li Guangyu said: "Mr. Governor, I think you also hope that Xiangjiang's development will get better and better. Xiangjiang has unique advantages and very good economic policies. I believe that Xiangjiang's economic development will get better and better in the future. At present,
Some of the problems are temporary."
Youde is really not interested in Li Guangyu's words now. The Li Group has always said this since its establishment, but this is not how investment is done.
In the past two years, the Li Group has reduced the scale of investment in Hong Kong, but today it suddenly announced a series of investment projects involving tens of billions of Hong Kong dollars. It can be said that it is full of confidence in the future economic development of Hong Kong. Youde is not sure what gave Li Guangyu
With such great self-confidence, wouldn't he be worried that he would lose all his money by then?
However, for him, the stable development of Hong Kong is also very beneficial, and he does not want Hong Kong's economic development to decline under his own governance.
It’s just that there are currently some people in England who want to create some things in Hong Kong to affect the current situation in Hong Kong. This makes Youde a little angry. He will go to England tomorrow to communicate with the government there on the Hong Kong issue and ensure that Hong Kong
Able to maintain healthy and stable development.
Youde said: "Mr. Li, I know you also have some calculations in your mind, and I also hope that Xiangjiang can remain stable. I also hope that you can stick to your consistent position. Businessmen will run your companies well, and you will not get involved in some things.
Yeah, that would be bad for everyone."
Li Guangyu has no interest in getting involved in this. It is too dangerous, so he should just protect his own property.
Now all the forces are staring at him. If he takes some actions, a large market may be destroyed. He won't do that.
Li Guangyu said: "Please rest assured that our group will only focus on the development of the group and make our contribution to Hong Kong's economy. You don't have to worry about this."
Youde then discussed the current economic situation in Hong Kong with Li Guangyu and asked Li Guangyu his opinion on this issue.
Youde still admires Li Guangyu's economic vision. If it weren't for Li Guangyu's unique vision, the Li Group would not have grown so big. He also hopes to get some advice from Li Guangyu to help Hong Kong develop in the future.
policy for reference.
Li Guangyu said: "Mr. Governor, I believe you are well aware of the reason for the current situation in Xiangjiang. As long as this problem is solved, these problems in Xiangjiang will be solved. I believe that the problem in Xiangjiang will soon return to calm.
Future exhibitions will be even faster.”
Youde is naturally aware of the main cause of this round of economic crisis in Hong Kong, but it is not something he can decide or solve. He can only try his best to maintain the stable development of Hong Kong and avoid major turmoil from this position.
Youde said: "Mr. Li, I know that your Xiangjiang Air Transport Group operates a school owned by your company. I wonder if you are willing to upgrade it to an independent institution of higher learning to promote the development of higher education in Xiangjiang."
Li Guangyu rejected this. At present, this school does not have that kind of strength at all, and they cannot provide so many positions. When the time comes, becoming an independent school will only miss students.
