Eight hundred and fiftieth chapters do more harm than good
In the past few days when Li Guangyu was busy handling the affairs of Xingyuan Group, the confrontation in Xiangjiang was also very fierce, and the public opinion war in the media never stopped.
Neither Stick Sutherland nor George Lavin wanted a third bank to share their interests, so they did not hesitate to spend a lot of money on the media to criticize the Lee Group and Tianyu Bank.
Li Xuemei is obviously not willing to let Tianyu Bank lose the opportunity to win the right to issue Hong Kong dollar notes. Although Hong Kong Bank can also replace it, some of the reasons for attacks by HSBC and Standard Chartered will not be tenable.
However, after all, Tianyu Bank is wholly owned by the Li Group, while Li Guangyu of Xiangjiang Bank is only the largest individual beneficiary, which is completely different in nature.
Tianyu Bank is like a biological son, a direct descendant within the direct line, while Xiangjiang Bank is just a godson. Naturally, the Li Group hopes to let Tianyu Bank control this power.
In Li Xuemei's office, Luo Qianwen, executive vice president of Tianyu Financial Group, Xia Fengxing, chairman of Tianyu Bank, group vice president, Le Yiling, president of Xiangyu Group, and Shi Shaoming, president of Jiayi Group, discussed the current situation together.
Li Xuemei said, "Time is running out now. The government will make a decision on this the day after tomorrow. According to the current situation, public opinion is very unfavorable to us. The key point is that Tianyu Bank is not a listed company and our bank's finances are not open to the public."
Lack of transparency is the biggest obstacle at the moment.”
Everyone present was silent for a while. Even if their media tried hard to defend themselves in the past few days, this still could not change the situation. If Tianyu Bank wants to obtain the right to issue Hong Kong currency notes, it must make its finances open and transparent, so that all walks of life in Hong Kong
Only then can you rest assured.
Now Li Guangyu obviously will not let Tianyu Bank go public, let alone let the bank's financial information be made public.
You must know that Tianyu Bank is the center of the entire Li Group, which involves a lot of information about the Li Group, and they will not expose this.
Once Tianyu Bank is listed, the bank will have a supervisory committee to supervise the bank, which will make many operations of the Li Group very troublesome.
Especially Li Guangyu, a person who doesn't develop according to common sense, often mobilizes funds on a temporary basis. After the listing, some procedures are difficult to operate.
When Luo Qianwen saw that no one was speaking, she said, "I suggest we give up this time and let Tianyu Bank fight for the right to issue Hong Kong dollar notes. From the current point of view, even if our bank wins this right, it will not have much impact on our development."
As long as we have the rights and interests in this area and can talk about it in Hong Kong dollars, I don’t think there is much difference as to whether Tianyu Bank or Xiangjiang Bank obtains this rights and interests.”
Luo Qianwen knew very well that even if they now obtained the right to issue Hong Kong currency notes with the help of the British side and the help of the Governor's Office, they would still cause a lot of controversy in the future.
After all, the Hong Kong dollar involves the vital interests of millions of citizens in Hong Kong and all walks of life in Hong Kong. They do not want to be controlled by an unlisted bank. In that case, they do not understand the specific situation of this bank at all. They definitely want to eliminate the unknown.
Li Xuemei saw that Luo Qianwen also chose to ask Tianyu Bank to give up this opportunity. She knew that Tianyu Bank was probably completely out of luck this time.
She knew Li Guangyu's habits, and it was very difficult to get him to list his group.
Especially for these groups that are now wholly owned by the Li Group, as long as Li Guangyu is willing, they can easily be listed in New York or London, as well as in Hong Kong and Tokyo. Li Fuzhao, chairman of the Far East Exchange, has discussed with Li Guangyu many times, hoping that
Some of Li's groups were able to be listed on the Far East Exchange, but Li Guangyu rejected them without hesitation.
Tianyu Bank is the backbone of Li's consortium, so how could Li Guangyu let this company go public?
Li Xuemei estimated that Li Guangyu had anticipated the current situation, so he had long ago pushed Hong Kong Bank to compete for the right to issue Hong Kong dollar notes. This time, she did not force Tianyu Bank to obtain the right to issue Hong Kong dollar notes, leaving her unable to do anything.
Under such circumstances, let Xiangjiang Bank take over this power and let Xiangjiang Bank go public in the near future.
Li Xuemei asked Le Yiling, "Yiling, what do you think of this?"
"Looking at it now, our Tianyu Bank's acquisition of this right has indeed done more harm than good. Our bank has really obtained the right to issue Hong Kong dollars. This will put our bank in public opinion for a long time and is not conducive to the development of our bank. As long as Tianyu Bank
Without listing, there is no good way to solve this problem. Faced with the increasingly fierce public opinion, I think it is better to let Xiangjiang Bank do it."
In the past few days, Le Yiling has been in charge of media matters, and she is coordinating Li's media's counterattack against public opinion in the market.
Nowadays, the media in Hong Kong is a little weird. Le Yiling knows very well that it is not only the forces of HSBC and Standard Chartered that are fanning the flames, but also some other forces that are adding fuel to the flames. They do not want Tianyu Bank to get the right to issue Hong Kong dollar notes.
Moreover, Le Yiling already had some clues, but she couldn't handle this matter by herself. She had to report to Li Guangyu and follow Li Guangyu's arrangements.
Li Xuemei saw that everyone felt that Tianyu Bank's acquisition of the right to issue Hong Kong dollar notes would do more harm than good, so she no longer insisted on some of her ideas.
She said, "Yi Ling, your media will change the publicity next to focus on Xiangjiang Bank, and promise to the outside world that Xiangjiang Bank will start the listing process next and strive to be listed on the Far East Exchange in August."
Le Yiling replied, "I will make unified arrangements after the meeting. I believe that in this way, all walks of life in Hong Kong will be able to accept it, and HSBC and Standard Chartered will have no reason to attack."
Le Yiling knew that some forces were fueling the public opinion this time, but Li Xuemei didn't know.
It's just that these days she needs to devote her energy to getting Tianyu Bank to obtain the right to issue Hong Kong dollar notes, so she ignores it for the time being.
Now that they have planned to give up this right, it is time for them to fight back.
After Li Xuemei announced the adjournment of the meeting, she immediately contacted Zheng Yutong, Feng Jingxi, Feng Jingyao, and He Youguang to communicate with them about the Hong Kong Bank's acquisition of the right to issue Hong Kong dollar notes.
In the past few days, the major shareholders of the Bank of Hong Kong have been waiting for the next step. They did not persuade the Li Group to let the Bank of Hong Kong obtain the right to issue Hong Kong dollar notes.
They know very well how much Li Guangyu has paid for this right. If it were not for Li Guangyu, they may not be able to obtain the right to issue Hong Kong dollars in their lifetime. Even if Tianyu Bank gets this right, it is what Tianyu Bank deserves.
After receiving Li Xuemei's invitation, several people said they would contact their company's shareholders to discuss the matter at the Peninsula Hotel in the evening.
Youde also quickly received a call from Li Xuemei. He was happy to hear that the Li Group was willing to give up Tianyu Bank's right to issue Hong Kong dollar notes. The pressure from public opinion was now very high. If their government forced the adoption of this resolution, what impact would it have on their government?
Not too small either.
Now that Hong Kong Bank is out, the pressure is much less. In this special period, Youde still hopes to minimize public dissatisfaction with the Governor's Office and various government departments.
This time the Lee Consortium invested such a huge amount of money in England, which also made Youde more eager to strengthen cooperation with the Lee Consortium to pave the way for his own future political future.
