Mr. Qiao did not stay in Xiangjiang for a few days. After chatting with Chu Huan in detail for three days, Mr. Qiao left Xiangjiang.
Wu Shuhan also left Xiangjiang with Qiao Lao and went to Longkou to arrange for Qingjin Garment to build a factory there.
After they returned, Chu Huan also returned to his daily life, including the life between women and the company.
During this period, Xu Yize was busy acquiring Far East Bank.
On this day, at the Peninsula Cafe, Xu Yi met with Sandy Aldama, the head of the Xiangjiang Branch of Universal Bank.
"Ms. Xu, your company has now established the Xiangjiang branch of Alder Commercial Bank in Hong Kong and acquired Bank of East Asia. I really can't understand why your company is still so concerned about Far East Bank and insists on acquiring it?
"
This is not the first time the two have met. Before this, Xu Yi had met with Sandy Aldama many times in order to buy the shares of Far East Bank from Wanguo Baotong Bank.
From the beginning, Sandy Aldama did not agree with the acquisition proposal, but now Sandy Aldama has begun to seriously consider this matter.
This is what Xu Yi reported to Chu Huan before. During the lawsuit with Qiu Degen, Wan Guo Baotong Bank found that it was difficult for them to obtain the operating rights of Far East Bank from Qiu Degen!
"Wanguo Baotong Bank has already entered the financial market in Hong Kong. Why did it acquire Far East Bank in the first place?" Xu Yi gently stirred the coffee in his hand and asked Sandy Aldama with a smile.
Sandy Aldama nodded with a wry smile, and did not dwell on the matter anymore. He said with a smile: "Ms. Xu, let's just talk about it. At this stage, in fact, neither I nor the company behind me still thinks that we
We can obtain the operating rights of Far East Bank through legal means, so this time I still want to apologize to Ms. Xu, our company really will not sell shares of Far East Bank."
Xu Yi didn't take Sandy Aldama's answer to heart. If the other party was really so determined, he wouldn't discuss this matter with him again and again.
What I'm saying now is that I just want a price that satisfies them.
Nowadays, Du Huilian and others are busy acquiring Yongan Group. As the second person in Jiaku, he would have started to implement the acquisition of Far East Bank earlier than they did. If it comes to the end
It was Du Huilian and the others who completed the acquisition of Yongan Group first, so they would be embarrassed!
"Sandy, it's already this time. Don't say these meaningless polite words between you and me. Now we, Jiaku, are willing to pay double the price you paid for Sandy's Far East Bank shares to acquire your ten thousand yuan.
This is our final offer for Guobaotong Bank's shares in Far East Bank. If you don't agree with this price, then we can only find other ways to acquire Far East Bank!"
Faced with Xu Yi's slightly threatening tone, Sandy Aldama did not care and said easily: "Ms. Xu, Far East Bank is not listed. We, Wanguo Baotong Bank and Qiu Degen, are the only shareholders of Far East Bank. If
If both of us don't sell our shares in Far East Bank, I really can't think of any other means for your company to acquire Far East Bank!"
Xu Yi nodded and did not deny Sandy Aldama's words. He just said calmly: "Although you are right, Far East Bank's foothold in the New Territories is really important to our Jiaku. Let's put it this way.
This company is what we must get. If we can't get it, then he will be our opponent. This has nothing to do with personal friendship, but an inevitable choice for the company's development!"
"That's right!" Sandy Aldama also agreed with Xu Yi's statement, but still said relaxedly: "If Jiaku's development requires Far East Bank, it must get Far East Bank. Then is it about the future of Jiaku?"
When development requires other companies, do we also need other companies?
Isn't this statement a bit too overbearing? Besides, although Jiaku is powerful, I still say the same thing. As long as we don't give up the shares of Far East Bank, Qiu Degen will have no chance of giving up the shares of Far East Bank. It's so expensive.
The company has no chance of getting Far East Bank!"
Xu Yi waved his hand and said: "Sandy, you are right, but you are also wrong!"
Sandy Aldama looked at Xu Yi with a puzzled expression and asked, "What's wrong?"
Xu Yidao: "As you said, if both of you are unwilling to give up the shares of Far East Bank, it is indeed impossible for our company to obtain Jiaku. This is why our company is willing to pay double the price to acquire your bank's shares in Far East Bank.
reason.
However, the inability to obtain Far Eastern Bank does not mean that our company cannot replace Far Eastern Bank.
I think you know the power of Jiaku, Mr. Sandy. As long as we open a branch of the Bank of East Asia to the New Territories, and transfer the wages of workers in several major factories of our company in the New Territories to the Bank of East Asia, and then cooperate with other activities of Jiaku
Business, provide some preferential policies.
With our Jiaku's reputation in Hong Kong and Bank of East Asia's position in the hearts of Hong Kong people, it is only a matter of time before Bank of East Asia replaces Far East Bank in the New Territories!"
Sandy Aldama raised her eyebrows slightly. This was indeed a question, but then Sandy Aldama smiled and said: "I have no doubt about this, but Miss Xu, you also said that this is a time
problem, and time is a very critical issue both for you, Jiaku, and for us, Wan Guo Baotong."
Xu Yi showed a calm smile, then took out a document from his bag and handed it to Sandy Aldama, saying confidently: "As long as our company is willing, this can be completed within a week!"
Sandy Aldama took the document from Xu Yi's hand with a puzzled look on her face. After seeing the content above, the confusion on her face became more intense.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "I didn't expect that your company would open accounts at Far East Bank for all the workers in its major factories in the New Territories."
At this point, Sandy Aldama asked with some confusion: "But why, each account only has one thousand yuan?"
Xu Yi had taken the initiative at this time, so the smile on his face became brighter and brighter, and he said: "One thousand yuan is enough, Sandy, you can imagine, when hundreds of thousands of workers from several major factories in Jiaku flocked to
When you withdraw money from Far East Bank, what do you think it will be like?"
Letting workers from several major factories in Jiaku open accounts and save money in Far East Bank was actually something Chu Huan had already done when he wanted to obtain Far East Bank. The original policy was to allow these workers to deposit money in Far East Bank.
With the salary of one person, and various welfare benefits later, each person has an average deposit of 1,000 Hong Kong dollars in Far East Bank.
At that time, in order to prevent everyone from withdrawing the money, Chu Huan asked the person in charge of the factory to explain to the workers that the factory would also deposit money into this account when distributing other benefits.
Sandy Aldama finally showed a horrified expression. If Jiaku did this, there would be only one effect, and that would be a run on Far East Bank.
"Ms. Xu, have you thought about the consequences of doing this?"
Sandy Aldama looked at Xu Yi in disbelief and said: "If you do this, not only one Far East Bank will be affected, but even the entire financial system of Xiangjiang will be affected!"
Hundreds of thousands of people rushed to the Far East Bank at the same time. As long as such a scene is broadcast through TVB owned by Jiaku, people will blindly follow it. By then, all the depositors in Xiangjiang will be panicked, and they will probably rush to their own deposits.
withdraw money from the bank.
By then, it won't be Far East Bank alone that will be in trouble, but many banks in Hong Kong will be implicated.
"Such consequences will make Jiaku the target of public criticism in Hong Kong's banking industry. Even securities firms and real estate companies will trigger a chain reaction, and Jiaku will become a street rat in Hong Kong!"
When he said the last words, Sandy Aldama was already sure that Jiaku would not really do this, it was just to threaten him!
Xu Yi still smiled and said: "So what? According to Jiaku's current status in Xiangjiang, even if some people are dissatisfied with this matter, what can they do?
Moreover, Sandy, you should understand that the crisis is for other small and medium-sized banks in Hong Kong and other related companies, but for us, Jiaku, this is actually a better opportunity.
At that time, by taking advantage of the run and withdrawal trend, we will not only be able to destroy Far East Bank in this incident, but we can even acquire several more local banks in Hong Kong. At that time, for us, the advantages will outweigh the disadvantages!"
When he said this, Xu Yi paused, took a sip of coffee, and then continued: "Sandy, there are only two ways before you now. First, either accept the two offers we gave you.
The purchase price is doubled, and the friendship of our Jiaku is gained. Secondly, it is to become history together with Far East Bank!"
Sandy Aldama's face finally turned gloomy, and she said uncertainly: "There has been a rumor in Xiangjiang recently. I wonder if Miss Xu knows about it?"
Xu Yixiao asked: "What rumors?"
Sandy Aldama said: "Nowadays, a rumor suddenly popped up in the market, saying that if Jiaku continues to develop at the current rate of development, maybe in the future, no matter who controls the Hong Kong government, in fact, the real
It is Jiaku who is in charge of Xiangjiang, and Xiangjiang will also become Chairman Chu’s family and the world!”
Xu Yi frowned, then smiled: "It's just some rumors. Jiaku is just a company, and it just wants to do business. Jiaku doesn't care about other things, so Sandy, let's talk about Far East Bank shares."
Something to do!”
Sandy: "..."
.
"When did this rumor appear?"
After finishing the meeting with Sandy Aldama, Xu Yi, who originally wanted to see Qiu Degen, returned to the Chinese Bank and told Chu Huan what Sandy Aldama had just said.
"It's been a while. The company has received this information before. But I thought it was just nonsense, so I didn't report it to the chairman. Now even Sandy has said this. Obviously this sentence
The words are already very popular in Xiangjiang!"
Xu Yi replied.
Chu Huan sat there, unable to tell whether he was happy or unhappy, but continued to ask: "In your opinion, will this sentence have any impact on us?"
Xu Yi nodded and said: "If it was only spread among a small number of people before, it wouldn't have any impact. This is why I didn't report it to you at the beginning, but now the situation is obviously different. Even people like Sandy
Everyone knows this, so what I’m worried about is not what people in the business community think about this matter, but what the Hong Kong government and my hometown will think about this matter!”
Chu Huan nodded slightly. The trouble with this matter is not in the business world. Today, Chu Huan has no rivals in the business world in Xiangjiang. In addition, the global market supports him at this stage, and he will have his hometown in the future.
The market has the support, so Chu Huan does not need to worry about the affairs of the Xiangjiang business community.
As Xu Yi said, what really worries them should be the current situation of the Hong Kong government and the situation in their hometown.
No political power would want to have a power group in the city under its jurisdiction that is more prestigious than their political power.
"In your opinion, what should we do? Make appropriate concessions, or stick to our current development plan?" Chu Huan continued to ask Xu Yi.
Xu Yi said calmly: "I think we should continue to develop according to our plan, not only to develop, but also to speed up."
"Why? Aren't you worried that this speed of development will have a bad impact on us?" Chu Huan looked at Xu Yi and asked.
Xu Yi carefully analyzed: "First of all, Jiaku seems to be very strong, but that does not mean that Jiaku can sit back and relax. For Jiaku, only by constantly moving forward can it have sufficient deterrence, and also
Only in this way can both the current and future Hong Kong governments be wary of Jiaku's strength.
Nowadays, Xiangjiang's industry does not seem to be that important to Jiaku... I am talking about profits or gains, but in fact, no matter how Jiaku expands in the global business field, Xiangjiang will always be
It is the foundation of JAKU. Only when the foundation is stable enough, can we expand the global market more easily.
Also, I think running a business is like sailing against the current. If we don’t advance, we will retreat. If our Jiaku chooses to give in when faced with this potential problem now, then we will have more concessions in the future. If it is
In this case, potential competitors will only encroach on our market bit by bit.
We may not be able to see anything in a short period of time, but over time, we will be in great trouble.
In addition, now is also the best time for Jiaku to develop rapidly. Because our hometown has just pressed the development button, we need help in many places, and our Jiaku actually provides the most help, so our hometown
They will definitely not do anything to us at this stage, and will even promote our development, because under your operation, boss.
Today's Jiaku actually shares the same fate as the development of my hometown. If Jiaku is good, my hometown will receive more support. If problems arise in Jiaku, my hometown's development needs will definitely slow down.
So at least at this stage, we can take advantage of this opportunity to develop rapidly.
As for the British side, boss, you had the foresight to send Ma Jizu to Europe and spend tens of millions of dollars in public relations fees every year. This should be helpful. This is why we are still able to strike a delicate balance with the Hong Kong government.
The reasons for common development in the state.
Both of them may be wary of the future development of Jiaku, but the current situation in their hometown and the needs of some local politicians in England will prevent us from having any problems in Jiaku in the short term.
And when we develop, they also need to be wary of Jiaku's influence at that time. It is more of a common development for everyone. Although there will definitely be some means of sanctions, as long as we can ensure our own
If the market is basically intact, then this is actually a false proposition!"
After listening to Xu Yi's long speech, Chu Huan showed a pleased expression and said with a smile: "Since you have analyzed the pros and cons of this matter in your mind, there is nothing more to say. Just continue to follow our plan.
Got it!"
When he said this, Chu Huan's eyes were a little deep and he smiled calmly: "As for the future, you have to know that no plan can be perfect. Temporary problems can be solved temporarily!"
"I understand!" Xu Yi understood what Chu Huan meant and said with a smile: "Then I'll go find Qiu Degen!"
Chu Huan nodded first, then stopped Xu Yi who was about to leave and asked: "You haven't told me how your talk with Sandy Aldama went?"
Xu Yi showed a relaxed smile and said: "We have already shown our trump cards. Naturally, Sandy has no choice but to give in. He has agreed to sell us the shares of Far East Bank!"
Chu Huan also smiled and said: "Okay, then go and conquer Qiu Degen!"
.
Before today, Qiu Degen was still very happy!
First of all, although the lawsuit regarding Far East Bank has not yet ended, from a formal point of view, my side has a greater chance of winning.
Secondly, with the rapid economic development of Hong Kong, Far East Bank has already overcome the crisis of the year and has once again become the number one commercial bank in the New Territories.
It can be said that Qiu Degen saw a bright future at this time!
But such a good mood turned bad after he received a call from Xu Yi.
Back then, when Jiaku was interested in Far East Bank, Qiu Degen already knew about it. It can be said that Qiu Degen was almost scared to death at that time. He believed that he was no match for Jiaku. Of course, he was afraid.
, Qiu Degen didn’t want Far East Bank to hand it over to Wan Guo Baotong, and naturally he didn’t want to hand it over to Jiaku either.
So you still have to fight if you should fight.
But soon, Qiu Degen learned from his own sources that Sandy Aldama of Wanguo Baotong Bank had not sold the shares of Far East Bank to Jiaku. This made Qiu Degen breathe a sigh of relief at that time.
There was even a moment when he was very grateful to Sandy Aldama.
Later, the opening of the Xiangjiang branch of Alder Commercial Bank and the successful acquisition of Bank of East Asia by Jiaku made Qiu Degen think that Jiaku had completed their layout in the Hong Kong banking industry, so he did not worry that Jiaku would treat his Far East again.
The bank is tempted.
Unexpectedly, I received a call from Xu Yi at this moment!
"What exactly is the other party going to do?" Qiu Degen sat in his office and seemed a little uneasy.
"If the other party is here to seek cooperation, then it is naturally good. If Far East Bank can cooperate with Jiaku, then maybe Far East Bank will not need to seek support from foreign banks after ending the lawsuit with Wan Guo Baotong Bank!
"
Qiu Degen also has his own ideas about the development of Far East Bank. Although Qiu Degen is currently in a lawsuit with Wanguo Baotong Bank, Qiu Degen himself admits that if Far East Bank wants to have greater development in Xiangjiang, then
You must have a strong backer.
The fundamental reason why Qiu Degen filed a lawsuit with Wanguo Baotong Bank was that Qiu Degen hoped that this backer could provide him with funds and influence, but not participate in the operation of Far East Bank.
To put it simply, what Qiu Degen actually wants is a tool man.
What Wan Guo Baotong Bank needs is to build Far East Bank into their flagship bank in Hong Kong, which means that the operating rights of Far East Bank must be in the hands of Wan Guo Baotong Bank.
This is an irreconcilable conflict between the two parties, which is why this lawsuit was launched.
In fact, in another time and space, after the lawsuit between Qiu Degen and Wanguo Baotong Bank ended, Qiu Degen immediately looked for two foreign banks to invest in Far East Bank, thereby continuing to ensure that Far East Bank had a backer.
But that time Qiu Degen learned the lesson and approached two major foreign banks, CDB Asia and Huamei International.
In this way, the equity interests of the two participating banks are dispersed, making it impossible for them to be "autocratic" like Wanguo Baotong.
Unexpectedly, CDB Asia was not a vegetarian. Taking advantage of Qiu's financial crisis, it "grabbed" 65% of Far East's equity, while Huamei International held 10% of Far East's equity.
Half of the Far East's mountains and rivers could not be saved, and Qiu only held 25% of the shares, becoming the second shareholder.
It can be said that Qiu Degen’s desire to become a successful banker has never been successful!
"But, there are two banks in Jiaku, Alde Commercial Bank Xiangjiang Branch and Bank of East Asia. No matter what kind of business they have, it is impossible to come to Far East?"
This is what Qiu Degen is worried about.
He doesn't think there is anything about his Far East Bank that would attract Jiaku to cooperate with him, so since there is a high probability that the other party is not here to cooperate with him.
Then, there is only one last possibility left, that is, Jiaku has never thought about giving up Far East Bank from the beginning to the end. Now that Jiaku has completed their initial layout in the financial industry in Hong Kong, they should now set their sights on
Far East Bank is here?
Thinking of this possibility, Qiu Degen broke into a cold sweat.
"Don't panic. It's impossible for Wan Guo Baotong to sell their shares in Far East Bank to Jiaku, and it's impossible for me to sell them. Far East Bank is not listed, so even if Jiaku wants to get it, there is no chance.
!”
Qiu Degen comforted himself.
But no matter how he comforted him, Qiu Degen could not calm down. More importantly, Qiu Degen's secretary had already come in to report that Xu Yi had come to Far East Bank!
"Miss Xu, I haven't seen you for a long time and you look even more beautiful!"
When Xu Yi walked into Qiu Degen's office, Qiu Degen put away all the negative emotions in his heart and stood up to greet him with a smile.
"What brought you here, Miss Xu, today? If anything happens in Jiaku, just give me a call!"
Xu Yi sat on the sofa and said with a smile: "Weng Qiu is too polite, but my matter today is a bit serious, so I'd better come in person!"
Qiu Degen's heart sank. Could it be that what he was thinking was true?
"Miss Xu, please speak, I am all ears!" Qiu Degen sat opposite Xu Yi and preached cautiously.
Xu Yi smiled and said: "I wonder how Qiu Weng's recent lawsuit with Wan Guo Baotong is going?"
Qiu Degen replied: "Everything is still in progress. The specific outcome will probably not be known until the court pronounces its verdict."
Xu Yi smiled and said: "Actually, there are some things that can be resolved without the court pronouncing a verdict, such as Qiu Weng's matter. I came here today just to tell Qiu Weng that the lawsuit between you and Wan Guo Baotong has ended. Wan Guo Baotong
The authorities have decided to formally submit a request to the court to withdraw the lawsuit in the near future!”
There was no trace of relaxation on Qiu Degen's face, but more worries and doubts. He was worried that what he suspected was true, and he was confused as to why Wan Guo Baotong withdrew the lawsuit, and Xu Yi had told him this matter.
"Miss Xu, what do you mean?"
Xu Yi did not beat around the bush with Qiu Degen and said directly: "Our company has reached a consensus with Wanguo Baotong and will acquire all shares of Wanguo Baotong in Far East Bank. So from now on, Wanguo Baotong and Far East Bank will
It doesn’t matter anymore!”
"What?" Qiu Degen stood up in shock.
Just now, he was sure that Wanguo Baotong would not sell its shares in Far East Bank. Now Xu Yi told himself that they had acquired Wanguo Baotong's shares in Far East Bank. This matter was too much for Qiu Degen to believe!
"Ms. Xu, this matter is no joke. Why did IWC sell their shares in our Far East Bank?"
Qiu Degen couldn't help but ask.
He hoped that Wanguo Baotong would sell Far Eastern Bank's shares, but he only hoped that the other party would sell these shares to him, not to others, especially Jiaku.
In Xiangjiang, Qiu Degen was confident in using Xiangjiang's laws to deal with Wan Guo Baotong, but when it came to dealing with Jia Ku, Qiu Degen had no confidence at all!
Xu Yi smiled and said: "This matter is actually not important. I am not here just to talk to you about this matter, Qiu Weng. The purpose of my coming here is actually to consult with Qiu Weng."
,Qiu Weng, do you have any idea of selling all your shares in Far East Bank!"
As expected, this was the result. Qiu Degen sat down with a pale face. Unexpectedly, what he was most worried about happened.
And it happened so suddenly!
call!
After thinking for a long time, Qiu Degen took a deep breath and said firmly: "I'm sorry, Miss Xu, I founded Far East Bank by myself, and I will not sell any shares of Far East Bank!"
