The citizens of Xiangjiang feel that they have never been so entangled as they are today.
They not only want to go to the bank where they deposit money, queue up to withdraw money, but also want to go to a securities company to sell their stocks. They also want to stay at home and watch the news about Mrs. Thatcher on TV. At the same time, they also want to go to the Chinese Bank to watch
Let’s see what kind of explanation Jiaku will give you today.
It can be said that every choice here is related to their future life, which leaves them with no choice.
On the other side, the atmosphere at the Chinese Bank Jiaku is solemn.
Roy Bentley came to the Chinese Bank this morning as scheduled, but when he walked into Chu Huan's office, he was stunned.
Fok Sar Wong and his son from Fok Hing Yip Hall, Kwok Desheng and his son from Sun Hung Kai, Zheng Yutong and his son from New World, Li Jiacheng from Cheung Shi, Wu Yingxiang from Hopewell Properties, Kadoorie and his son from Grand Hotel Group, Swire and Swire's Swire, Tang Jiqian and his son from Nanhai Textile, Global
Bao Yugang and Weng's son-in-law of the Shipping Wharf......
Almost all the prominent business figures in Xiangjiang are gathered here.
Chu Huan was chatting with them at this time.
After seeing Roy Bentley, Chu Huan stood up and said to everyone: "I'm sorry, everyone, I still have some things to discuss with Roy Bentley. Please wait for us for a moment!"
After saying that, Chu Huan left the office with Roy Bentley and came to a small conference room!
"Looking at this situation, is Director Chu ready to take action?"
Roy Bentley, who was sitting on the chair, smiled and preached to Chu Huan.
Chu Huan did not hide anything, nodded and said: "The situation in Xiangjiang during this period is too serious. If we don't take action, Xiangjiang's economy will regress for at least twenty years. This is a situation that no one wants to see.
of!"
Roy Bentley nodded and did not get entangled in this matter. After all, before he came, Roy Bentley had already guessed that Chu Huan was definitely going to take action.
"Director Chu, let's talk about the things between us. I really want to know what Director Chu you want to get from our HSBC this time. As long as Director Chu your request is not too excessive, I can do it now.
Agree to your request, Director Chu!"
This is the reason why Roy Bentley came to Chu Huan.
He wanted to know what Chu Huan wanted to get from their HSBC after planning for so long.
Chu Huan sat there and asked Feng Jing to serve Roy Bentley a cup of coffee before he said: "Since Roy, you got straight to the point, I won't hide it anymore. Our Jiaku Bank hopes to acquire
HSBC holds all the shares in Hang Seng Bank!"
Hang Seng Bank, Hong Kong is now the largest local bank in Hong Kong besides HSBC. Hang Seng Bank is to HSBC what Land was to Jardine Matheson!
There were so many layouts before, in addition to letting Jiaku acquire many local banks in Xiangjiang at this time, complete Jiaku's investment in many listed companies in Xiangjiang, and formally establish Jiaku's absolute dominance in Xiangjiang, at the same time, it is necessary to put Jiaku in the hands of HSBC.
Hang Seng Bank got it!
"This is impossible!"
Roy Bentley objected immediately. Although before coming, Roy Bentley had thought that Chu Huan would definitely open his mouth this time, Roy Bentley still did not expect that Chu Huan's
My appetite is so big because I want Hang Seng Bank.
If after Alder Commercial Bank acquired Standard Chartered Bank, Kako Banking Group has been on par with HSBC, then if it loses Hang Seng Bank.
In this situation of ebb and flow, HSBC will completely lose its dominant position in Hong Kong's banking industry.
"Director Chu, you should make some practical suggestions. You should know the significance of Hang Seng Bank to HSBC even if I don't say it. And even if I agree to your request, HSBC's board of directors will not
Will agree!"
Roy Bentley preached to Chu Huan seriously.
Chu Huan smiled and said: "How do you know, Mr. Roy, that the board of directors of HSBC will not agree? The current situation in Xiangjiang is also a big loss for them. Let's not talk about others, just Mr. Bao Yugang. They have completed
The acquisition of Wharf has only been a few years ago. Not only has Wharf's stock price never reached its peak market value at the time of the acquisition, but even under the influence of the Hong Kong stock market crash, their losses have been extremely heavy.
If Hang Seng Bank can be sold, there will always be some financial support for the directors of HSBC!"
Roy Bentley shook his head firmly and said: "This is impossible. There is no need for you and me, Chairman Chu, to test each other on this matter. This stock market crash in Xiangjiang has indeed caused heavy losses to many people, but for Bao
For a family of this size, these losses are still within their acceptable range.
Most of the directors of HSBC are in the same situation as Mr. Bao.
The income that Hang Seng brings every year is enough to make everyone attach great importance to this bank. It is impossible for them to agree to HSBC giving up Hang Seng Bank!"
Chu Huan chuckled and said: "That's because they don't know the difficulties HSBC is facing now. If they knew the difficulties HSBC is facing, I think they would agree to HSBC's sale of Hang Seng Bank by then!"
Roy Bentley laughed and said: "HSBC has been the leader in Hong Kong's banking industry for many years. How can there be a crisis? Even if Chairman Chu wants to scaremongering, he must have a reason that looks more reliable, right?"
Chu Huan didn't speak, just watched quietly as Roy Bentley laughed over there, and then looked at...
Roy Bentley, who was laughing, saw Chu Huan's expression, and his expression began to become awkward. He was mainly embarrassed by Chu Huan's unresponsive demeanor!
"Master Roy, since you have just said that you are talking to us candidly, why do you need to say these words at this time?
Others don’t know about HSBC’s situation, don’t I?
Carin's HK$5 billion loan has not yet been secured. Even though HSBC, as Carin's first creditor, enjoys the advantage of getting the loan first, the problem is that it has to be obtained.
According to the current situation of Jia Ning, if we want to have a definite news on this matter, it will be at least four to five years later. Can HSBC bear the blank period of these four to five years?
Secondly, that is the matter of HSBC's acquisition of Bank of Midland. I think Roy, you should have made a decision by now, that is, you will never give up Bank of Midland. If this is the case, then you must complete the disguised process.
Relocation, under the current circumstances in Hong Kong, if HSBC were to relocate in disguise, the crisis of trust it would cause would probably be greater than the current crisis in Hong Kong as a whole, right?
Roy, didn't you come here to discuss this matter with me in person today because you felt such a crisis?
To put it bluntly, if these two things are combined with the current situation in Hong Kong, as long as the media in Hong Kong adds fuel to the flames of these two things at this time, then the entire reputation of HSBC accumulated in Hong Kong over the past few decades will probably be ruined.
Once it's over.
I know you must be talking about HSBC's advantages in North America and Europe, but Roy, don't forget, no matter how HSBC develops in the future, at least for now, Xiangjiang is HSBC's home base.
If any problems are solved, then HSBC’s foundation in Xiangjiang will probably be replaced by our Jiaku in less than 20 years!”
Roy Bentley sat there with a cold face, no longer as proud as before.
"We at HSBC can give up the merger and acquisition of Bank of Midland, and we can even use this incident to ask London for help. If they know the problems HSBC is encountering in Hong Kong, they will not let us relocate in disguise.
Only then can we complete the merger and acquisition of Midland Bank!
By then, HSBC will control the Bank of Ocean Milan in North America, Bank of Milan in Europe, and Hang Seng Bank in Hong Kong. At that time, people in Hong Kong will only believe in the strength of HSBC more, and the impact of the Carinian incident will naturally
It doesn’t matter anymore!”
Chu Huan looked calm and said: "Of course this is a good method, but there is a prerequisite for this method to take shape, and the prerequisite for this is that London can win this negotiation."
At this point, Chu Huan paused for a moment before continuing: "Roy, I can tell you responsibly that in the negotiations on Hong Kong, it is impossible for London to win.
This is not an alarmist statement, but I am telling you a fact. The Hong Kong issue is much more important to my hometown than to London. It contains too many political factors. Even if I don’t mention it, Roy
You will have guessed it yourself, so since the Xiangjiang issue cannot achieve the results you expect, then HSBC will definitely become a bargaining chip for London.
At that time, there are only two options before HSBC, either to give up the merger and acquisition of Milatlan Bank. In the days to come, on the one hand, it will seek new European banks for acquisitions, and on the other hand, it will also have to face the difficulties faced by Hong Kong.
Double suppression from Bank of China and Bank of China.
I think you have already discussed the result internally, right?"
This is why Chu Huan agreed to meet Roy Bentley at this time.
The general trend and the details are now all on Chu Huan's side. As long as Roy Bentley wants HSBC to maintain its current advantage, they actually don't have many choices.
"To put it simply, Roy and HSBC are using the shares of Hang Seng Bank to buy time, to buy a time that allows you to develop stably. Without this time, HSBC will have a very difficult time in the future!"
Roy Bentley looked at Chu Huan with an uncertain expression, and suddenly said: "If you say so, those people outside now know what you mean, Director Chu?"
Chu Huan shook his head and said: "No, the transaction about Hang Seng Bank shares is a transaction between our Jiaku and HSBC, and we will not bring them with us. The main reason for those friends coming here today is actually to cooperate with us
Jiaku’s bailout, but now that Roy is here first, we naturally have to discuss Hang Seng Bank first!”
Roy Bentley said: "Let me tell you your plan, Director Chu. Please listen to Director Chu and see if this is what you mean!"
Chu Huan raised his head and said, "Please speak!"
"If we at HSBC disagree with Mr. Chu about your transaction with Hang Seng Bank, then this afternoon, the two TV stations, TVB and Li's TV, as well as the newspapers in Xiangjiang, will definitely focus their reports on HSBC and Carin."
on the matter of financial relations between us?
At the same time, if it is true, as Mr. Chu said, that London loses to Beijing in the negotiations on the future of Hong Kong, then at that time, in order to put pressure on Beijing, London will definitely let HSBC complete the disguised relocation.
Only then can we be allowed to acquire Midland Bank.
I think Mr. Chu and your people must be keeping a close eye on this matter in London. As long as the matter is completed, you will definitely order the media in Xiangjiang to report on the relationship between HSBC and Carin on a large scale.
reported this matter.
I have already thought of the title. HSBC cannot bear the pressure from Hong Kong and frequently acquires overseas banks in order to transfer assets...
By then, Director Chu has completed the rescue of Xiangjiang. Of course, with the bad news coming out of HSBC at that time, Xiangjiang's stock market will definitely continue to be hit, and Director Chu, you can use this method at this time
Acquire companies in Hong Kong that are on the verge of bankruptcy due to the stock market crash at cheaper prices.
With such an operation, most of the listed companies in Xiangjiang will be owned by Jiaku, which means that everyone in Xiangjiang will actually be working for Jiaku at that time.
After Jiaku has such a position, it can completely encircle and suppress HSBC and force those companies to cut off cooperation with HSBC and Hang Seng.
Although Xiangjiang's economy will regress, Mr. Chu, your Jiaku has truly realized that Xiangjiang is Jiaku, and Jiaku is Xiangjiang.
I don’t know if what I said is right?”
At the end, Roy Bentley looked at Chu Huan with a complicated expression. At this time, he already understood that he had no other choice.
Survive by cutting off one's wrist, this idiom appeared in HSBC for the first time in decades.
Chu Huan smiled and said: "I hope that Xiangjiang's future will get better and better, but the premise is that Jiaku also needs to get better and better. I don't have such a big mind. I hate that I can help others, so I like Luo very much."
As you just said, Xiangjiang is Jiaku, and Jiaku is Xiangjiang!"
Roy Bentley pondered for a long time and said: "I need you, Mr. Chu, to come up with more chips. Although cash is good, we at HSBC pay more attention to future development.
Director Chu, your plan is good, but you may have forgotten one thing. HSBC is HSBC after all. If it really breaks down in the end, it will take at least ten years for your plan to be completed, Director Chu. So we need you, Director Chu.
Come up with the chips that make our HSBC heartbeat!"
Chu Huan smiled. Now that he was talking about it, Roy Bentley had actually agreed with him.
"15% of the shares of Alde Commercial Bank in Brazil and Argentina. This is my bottom line. No bargaining is allowed. If HSBC can agree, HSBC will be equivalent to opening up its own market in South America. By then, HSBC will be a bank
A global banking group."
Chu Huan has never underestimated HSBC, otherwise he would not have set up such a big plan to design HSBC's transaction with Hang Seng Bank.
Although Alde Commercial Bank has completed its layout in South America, Alde Commercial Bank still cannot compare with HSBC in terms of influence in the world banking industry.
If HSBC can be allowed to invest in the South American branch of Alde Commercial Bank, Alde Commercial Bank can walk on two legs, one is its own banking system, and the other is HSBC's banking system.
Roy Bentley nodded, finally nodding to Chu Huan's current proposal.
“Okay, I agree with you, Director Chu, but now I only agree with this matter, and I still need to convince the board of directors of HSBC, so I need you, Director Chu, to give me some time!
In addition, we, HSBC, must be blamed for Jiaku’s investment in bailing out the market!”
Although HSBC will be squeezed by Jiaku Bank in the Xiangjiang market in the future, this does not mean that HSBC will give up the Xiangjiang market easily, at least not according to the time planned by Chu Huan.
If Chu Huan plans to seize more of the HSBC market within 5 years, then Roy Bentley hopes that this time can be extended to 10 years. This is their success.
Chu Huan naturally understood what Roy Bentley meant, but Chu Huan actually agreed with Roy Bentley's proposal. A skinny camel is bigger than a horse. With Jia Ku taking the lead, HSBC joined in.
In fact, it can bring more confidence to the citizens of Xiangjiang, and at the same time, it can also give Chu Huan more protection.
When facing inquiries from the British side, Chu Huan can also use HSBC to block it!
"Three days, I can only give HSBC three days. If you can't give me a satisfactory answer in three days, Roy, then we will have to go to war!"
Roy Bentley also understood what Chu Huan meant. The longer this matter was delayed, the more beneficial it would be to his side, so Chu Huan would definitely not give him too much time!
"Unexpectedly, the Beijing side is negotiating, and we are also negotiating here. This time HSBC lost to Jiaku. I wonder who is losing and who is winning on the Beijing side?"
Chu Huan looked at the time and said: "It seems that there will be negotiations over there for a while. Roy, you can wait here until the negotiations over there are over before leaving the Chinese Bank!"
"I think so too!"
.
Chu Huan and Roy Bentley returned to Chu Huan's office together. Everyone in the office had different expressions when they saw the two coming back together.
As Chu Huan said, they did not know the content of the negotiations between Chu Huan and Roy Bentley, but in these people's eyes, when Chu Huan and Roy Bentley met at this time, the discussion must be about Xiangjiang.
Current economic issues.
"Ah Huan, in this situation, only the two of you can really save the situation in Xiangjiang. Now there are more and more people outside the Chinese Bank. Just now Mr. Xu came over and said that it was already several thousand and almost tens of thousands. If
If we can't come up with a proper solution, I'm really worried about what will happen next!"
After Guo Desheng saw Chu Huan, he spoke directly.
The rest of the people also nodded and agreed with Guo Desheng's proposal.
Although these people have more opportunities to invest overseas because of Chu Huan's existence, Xiangjiang is still their home base. To put it bluntly, it was only after they established the foundation in Xiangjiang that they established the relationship with Chu Huan.
cooperation to develop overseas market opportunities.
If Xiangjiang's economy collapses, it means that they have lost their foundation and become rootless duckweeds. Now everyone relies on their relationship with Chu Huan and can still cooperate well with Chu Huan, but what about the future?
?
In the shopping mall, there are no eternal enemies and friends, only eternal interests!
They will not participate in such a bet!
Chu Huan sat in his seat and said calmly: "Everyone, after our research at Jiaku, we have decided to invest in the stock market crash and bankruptcies in Xiangjiang!"
call.......
Throughout the office, voices of relief came one after another. As long as Chu Huan is willing to take action, Xiangjiang's economy can basically recover.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! And they no longer need to be worried.
Roy Bentley sat there, looking at the expressions of everyone in the office, feeling a little disappointed. In the past, only HSBC could enjoy such highly anticipated treatment, but now these people have already given up on their expectations of HSBC.
On Jiaku's body.
"I have just discussed it with Mr. Roy, and the other party is willing to support our Jiaku's behavior. What I need now is your support.
Everyone knows the current situation in Xiangjiang. If it is just a simple rescue operation, we, Jiaku, can solve this matter ourselves!"
When everyone heard what Chu Huan said, they showed shocked expressions again. Although everyone had just said that only Jiaku could save the economy of Xiangjiang at this time, everyone also knew that they wanted to save the economy of Xiangjiang in this situation, at least
Hundreds of billions of Hong Kong dollars will be invested.
Now Chu Huan actually said that Jiaku could solve the problem on his own. At this moment, these people truly understood how much cash reserves Jiaku had stored.
Shi Huaiya said at this time: "Does Director Chu want us to cooperate with your actions, Director Chu?"
Just now, Chu Huan also talked about the current situation in Xiangjiang, and made it clear that even without their existence, Jiaku could single-handedly support Xiangjiang's economy.
But they still called them here and explained the matter.
So this shows that Chu Huan needs everyone to do this with him.
The reason is actually to hold them tightly around Jiaku to form a strong protective cover so that outsiders...that is, London understands that this matter is not just Jiaku's.
People are doing it!
Chu Huan nodded and said: "Yes, that's the idea. I know that you have suffered a lot of losses recently, but it is impossible to say that you don't have your own cash reserves. Now I have a suggestion here. I want to take a look.
Are you interested in cooperating?"
Chu Huan told the true situation of everyone present in one sentence.
A greater part of the problems they encountered and the wealth they lost during this crisis in Hong Kong came from digital wealth. Their company's stock price was discounted in half. Although there were also some real money losses in the project,
But for them, this loss is acceptable.
And these people have actually mobilized some funds and are preparing to enter the market in these two days.
Of course, their entry into the market is not to prop up the Hong Kong stock market, but to take advantage of the current trough of the Hong Kong stock market to repurchase their own company's shares at the lowest price.
After this is completed, they will wait slowly until Xiangjiang's stock market recovers, and then they will sell these stocks at a high price to make a profit.
This is basically a common method used by wealthy families like Xiangjiang, and it is the same in the real estate industry.
When the real estate industry in Xiangjiang is in good condition, they will quickly build their own properties and then sell them to obtain generous rewards. Then when the real estate industry in Xiangjiang is in bad condition, they will buy back the land in Xiangjiang at a low price.
Used for storage.
Several stock market crashes in Xiangjiang have caused heavy losses to ordinary people in Xiangjiang, but they have also become the best opportunities for these super groups to make huge profits.
However, Chu Huan had no idea about this situation, because Chu Huan knew very well that if he did not have the memory to transcend this era, he would do the same!
To put it simply, everyone here is essentially a businessman!
"Ah Huan, what do you mean?"
Chu Huan first told everyone present the plan of Jiakuto City. After listening, everyone opened their mouths again, surprised that Jiakuto could come up with so much cash!
Then Chu Huan said: "In this market support plan, Jiaku will invest half of the funds into the stock market to support the stock market in Xiangjiang. What you have to do is to cooperate with our Jiaku statement and enter the market at the same time.
Prop up your own company’s stock price, and don’t worry about the rest!”
"no problem!"
Zheng Yutong said directly, in fact, even if Chu Huan didn't say anything about this, they would still do it, because once Chu Huan's funds enter the market, it will inevitably boost Xiangjiang's stock market, and then they will no longer be able to use cheap funds.
I got shares of my company at a reasonable price.
They would even let Chu Huan's Jiaku take away more shares of their company.
Everyone here, the second largest shareholder of many companies is Jiaku. If Jiaku is allowed to take more shares at this time, it will be hard to say who owns this company!
Emperor Huo said: "Ah Huan, our Huo Xingye Hall is not listed on the market, so let's hand over this fund to your Jiaku for operation!"
Chu Huan nodded and said, "Thank you, Uncle Huo!"
At this time, everyone else also expressed their agreement with Chu Huan's opinion.
Then everyone began to discuss the specific details.
After the general negotiation was concluded, Wu Shuhan walked in and said: "Boss, the four presidents of the Xiangjiang Association, the Far East Association, the Gold and Silver Association, and the Kowloon Association are here. I hope to meet you!"
"It seems that they can't hold on any longer!" Tsar Huo said.
Chu Huan nodded and said: "Please come in!"
Now that they have discussed everything, there is nothing left to tell Li Fuzhao and others!
"Look, Mrs. Thatcher is out!"
At this moment, Li Jiacheng suddenly pointed at the TV screen and preached.
