820. Xiangjiang is both Jiaku and Jiaku is Xiangjiang.
"Falled? He actually fell!"
Chu Huan sat in his chair and looked at the picture on the TV. In the last life, he only knew about this, but now he really saw it.
At this time, everyone in the office was stunned!
Although the content of this negotiation has not been announced to the outside world, just judging from Mrs. Thatcher's performance, everyone knows that this negotiation will definitely not be smooth for Britain. Otherwise, relying on Thatcher
It is impossible for Madam's mind to make such a mistake when everyone is watching her.
Such a situation can only occur when one is unsettled.
Thinking of this, everyone basically knew the outcome of the matter.
Everyone looked at each other, the expressions on everyone's faces were extremely complicated. Putting aside the political factors, just talking about the economy, they could already imagine how much impact it would have on them when the whole of Xiangjiang saw such a scene.
!
Just as they thought, when the citizens of Xiangjiang saw such a scene on TV, they themselves guessed the outcome of this negotiation without any need for newspapers or TV stations to say anything.
Thinking of the situation in Xiangjiang at this time, a dark cloud appeared in everyone's mind.
"Dad, what are you going to do?"
In Huaye City, after seeing the scene on TV, a middle-aged man stood up with a dull expression, picked up his coat and walked out. He was not a worker in a factory owned by the Jiaku Department. Huaye City had just opened.
At that time, he bought a property here for his family.
His child stopped him strangely and asked him what he was doing.
"Go to the Chinese!" the man said eagerly after being stunned.
"What are you doing at the Chinese restaurant?" My wife walked out of the kitchen carrying the lunch she had just prepared.
"Hong Kong is going to be in chaos!" the man said.
"It has been a mess for a long time!" My wife complained at first, and then said happily: "Fortunately you listened to me and deposited the money in Jiaku Bank and bought Land shares, otherwise we would have lost money to death."
At this point, my wife was stunned and asked: "Yes, why are you going to the Chinese Bank? Now the people who go to the Chinese Bank are those who deposited money in the wrong bank and whose stock prices have plummeted. Although Land's stock price has also fallen, but
At least it’s not that serious. I heard that Mr. Wang next door bought all his family’s money from Great Eagle Properties’ stocks, and now he’s clamoring to jump off the stairs every day!”
The man said: "You think I'm just for my own business. The economy of Xiangjiang must be unable to bear the current situation. We don't want to immigrate, so the economy of Xiangjiang must not be in chaos!"
"You are free too. This kind of thing is what you worry about. Even if you go, will you still be able to see Mr. Chu?"
The wife mocked.
The man said nonchalantly: "More people always have more power. Although it is a bit inhumane to put all Xiangjiang's economy on Jiaku, isn't there nothing we can do now?"
My wife stopped talking!
After all, men's ideas are still a minority in Xiangjiang, but when this minority meets the large base of Xiangjiang with a population of nearly 5 million, there are many.
Under such circumstances, there were more and more people at the door of the Chinese Bank. At this time, the people of Xiangjiang had to put their last hope on Jiaku.
The police also deployed more manpower to the Chinese Bank at this time to maintain order at the scene.
Inside a securities firm in Central.
Although more people went to the Chinese Bank, many people still stayed in the trading floor of the securities house to check the status of the stocks they bought.
Just the numbers on the blackboard made them feel as if they were facing an abyss, and their whole bodies were cold.
But fortunately, now that the market is in the lunch break, they don't have to watch these numbers drop again and again.
Those stock brokers who were usually very prosperous had lost their former grace at this time. They were like eggplants beaten by frost. They didn't say a word even though countless investors around them were asking them what to do.
A stockbroker's shirt straight
The splice was torn apart.
There were stock investors surrounding him, and everyone was asking him what to do and asking him to sell his stocks quickly.
"What should I do? What should I do? How do I know what to do?" The stockbroker suddenly broke out and shouted: "Now the only one in Xiangjiang who can save the market is Jia Ku. If Jia Ku doesn't take action, none of us can even think about it."
Better off!"
"Is it true that only Jiaku can help the current stock market?"
An old man asked in a trembling voice. Although they have been talking about this matter in the past few days, some people are still skeptical about such a statement, "I think HSBC should have this strength, right?"
Most of these people are over forty years old. When these people were born, the most powerful bank in Xiangjiang was HSBC. In their deep-rooted memories, they were more willing to trust HSBC than Jiaku!
"What are you thinking about?" the stockbroker said loudly: "Didn't you read the news? The 5 billion Hong Kong dollars loaned by HSBC to Carnegie has not yet been secured, and now if you want to boost Hong Kong's stock market, you need at least hundreds of billions.
Hong Kong dollars, plus the deposits of small and medium-sized banks, this rises to nearly 200 billion Hong Kong dollars.
Although HSBC has money, it is all our own deposits. Do you want to use your savings to rescue the market? What if the stock market cannot be boosted by then?"
"Then it's better for Jiaku to take action, Jiaku is better!"
Although everyone at the scene hopes that the current stock market will improve and Hong Kong's economy can be restored, these people do not want to use their own money to make this bet. After all, it is their own money.
"So if you want to restore Hong Kong's economy and raise the stock market in the shortest time, you can only do it with Jia Ku!"
The stockbroker preached loudly.
"Then should we go to Koku too?"
In the trading hall, someone suddenly said.
Then it resonated with many people. They didn't want HSBC to use their own money to raise the stock market, but they very much hoped that Jiaku could use their own money to raise the stock market. As for whether Jiaku has the money, can it do it?
to this matter.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Anyway, everyone is saying that now only Jiaku can do it, then Jiaku will definitely be able to do it.
So a group of people began to go to Jiaku in a mighty manner, and the same situation happened in other securities firms.
In this way, more and more people came to the entrance of the Chinese Bank, and soon the number exceeded the 10,000 mark. This situation also made the police officers at the scene feel like they were facing a formidable enemy.
With such a large number of people, if one person is not well controlled, it can easily lead to uncontrollable attacks.
Thinking of this, the boss in charge of the command couldn't help but walked into the Chinese Bank, and met Chu Huan under the guidance of his secretary.
"Director Chu, there are more and more people outside now. If...I mean if, Director Chu, your Jiaku can really enter the market to save the market, I personally hope that Director Chu can do it as soon as possible."
to announce this matter.
Just in case...just in case Mr. Chu and your Jiaku don't want to come forward in this incident, I also hope that when you announce your decision later, you can say it as tactfully as possible to avoid it*
**!」
After finishing speaking, the senior police officer looked at Chu Huan expectantly. In fact, he also hoped that Chu Huan would decide to let Jiaku enter the market to save the market at this time. After all, he also bought stocks.
Although it will take a long time to restore the economy of Xiangjiang's stock market to its peak period even if Jiaku steps in to rescue the market, at least this time is shortened and they can reduce their losses.
"Thank you, Officer Liao. You don't have to worry. We, Jiaku, have decided to enter the market to save the market, but I don't know if we can help you!"
Chu Huan said with a smile.
Officer Liao looked excited and said happily: "If this is the case, on behalf of the citizens of Xiangjiang, I would like to thank Director Chu. If it were not Director Chu this time, we really don't know how we would have gotten through it!"
Chu Huan waved his hand and said, "You're welcome!"
Then Chu Huan said to Xu Yi: "Since the citizens outside are waiting, go ahead and announce it!"
"Yes
"Xu Yi nodded.
Officer Liao looked at Chu Huan in surprise and asked, "Director Chu, won't you announce this matter in person?"
Chu Huan said with a smile: "I won't go. Anyway, what everyone is thinking about now is Jiaku coming forward. Whether I come forward to announce it is actually not that important."
Officer Liao thought about the news he had heard in the past few years. It was rumored that Chu Huan had been deliberately reducing the number of public appearances in the past two years. It was obvious that he wanted to remain behind the scenes, but if he thought about it, he could understand Chu Huan.
decision.
Now that Jiaku has such a high reputation in Xiangjiang, if Chu Huan appears again, it will indeed be too high-profile.
"Then I won't disturb Director Chu. Mr. Xu is out, and we have to protect Mr. Xu's safety!"
Officer Liao then shook hands with Chu Huan and followed Xu Yi out of the reception room.
But when he walked to the door of the Chinese Bank Building, he was frightened by the scene in front of him. In the reception room just now, he, Chu Huan, and Xu Yi were the only three people.
Not only Xu Yi, but also the chairman of many super listed companies in Hong Kong.
Seeing such a situation, Officer Liao couldn't help but feel moved. It turned out that Jiaku hadn't come forward for so long, so it wasn't that he didn't do anything, but that he was contacting these people?
In fact, not only Officer Liao thought so, but many reporters at the scene also thought so.
As for those who are crazy, they don't have so many ideas at this time. Xu Yi came out and there were so many Hong Kong rich people around him, which gave them a lot of good premonitions.
"Everyone, I'm very sorry to keep you waiting for so long!"
Just like yesterday, Xu Yi didn't make much opening remarks. After taking the microphone from the hands of the Jiaku staff, he started speaking directly.
"After consultation between our Jiaku and the heads of many companies in Xiangjiang, we finally came to the conclusion this morning that Jiaku will join forces with many listed companies in Xiangjiang to jointly save the current economic situation in Xiangjiang.
According to our discussions, Jiaku will work with major listed companies to come in with $25 billion to rescue the market. The two $5 billion will be divided into two parts. One part will go into the Xiangjiang stock market and raise the stock price in Xiangjiang.
The other part will be discussed with the boards of directors of various banks in Hong Kong that are experiencing runs.
Jiaku Bank will acquire various banks in Xiangjiang that have been involved in bank runs through acquisitions, and will deposit varying amounts of funds based on the deposit status of each bank to alleviate everyone's concerns.
Everyone, Xiangjiang is the Xiangjiang of all of us. Since the opening of the port, the people of Xiangjiang have worked hard upholding the spirit of the Lion Rock. Jiaku is the Jiaku of Xiangjiang. Like everyone else, we have strong feelings for Xiangjiang, so it is just us
Jiaku's efforts are not enough, and the efforts of all Xiangjiang citizens are also needed.
So here, on behalf of Jiaku, I implore everyone to have full confidence in Xiangjiang, and more importantly, have confidence in yourself. Temporary suffering will not knock us down, but will make us stronger.
In addition, our Jiaku also promised you that in addition to the US$25 billion mentioned previously, our Jiaku will also prepare a reserve fund of US$10 billion to deal with other situations that may occur in Hong Kong.
So please believe that as long as Jiaku stays in Xiangjiang for one day, we Jiaku will not allow any chaos in Xiangjiang.
thank you all!"
At the end of his speech, Xu Yi took the microphone and bowed deeply to everyone!
Xu Yi, who was bending down, could only hear the sound of breathing and wind, but not the cheers and applause that he had imagined.
This made Xu Yi a little confused.
When she stood up and saw the complex expressions of surprise, disbelief, confusion, excitement, etc. in the eyes of everyone in front of her, Xu Yi understood why there were no cheers or applause.
Because everyone was shocked by this figure. US$25 billion plus US$10 billion in reserves, this is US$35 billion. According to the current exchange rate, it is equivalent to more than 310 billion Hong Kong dollars. It is so huge.
Jiaku really took out the funds!
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Don’t talk about Xu Yibang
Although these people are all well-known and super-rich people in Hong Kong, there are even super banks like HSBC among them.
But how much they can add to this funding, only God really knows.
To put it bluntly, HSBC is already in dire straits because of Carin's 5 billion loan. It's probably impossible to get them to come up with more funds.
And I heard that HSBC is now busy acquiring the British Bank of Midland!
I'm afraid this is what these people have in mind?
Xu Yi thought silently!
But at this moment, a sudden round of applause suddenly sounded, and then the applause and cheers started to spread from one to ten, then to a hundred, and the sky was shaking.
Hong Kong Governor's Office!
Youde, Luo Bishi, and Peng Lizhi looked at each other in confusion as they watched the scenes on TV.
Finally, it was Yoder who broke the silence in the room.
"Call Jiaku and tell him that I want to go to Jiaku in person to express my gratitude to Chu Huan and see if Chu Huan is available!"
Luo Bishi and Peng Lizhi listened to Youde's words and guessed Youde's mood at this time.
With the US$35 billion spent, people outside saw this as Jiaku entering the market to rescue the market, but from their perspective, the situation was actually different.
After nearly a month, Xiangjiang's economy has already been riddled with holes, and the stock prices of various companies have dropped to the lowest point. If you buy at this time, even those who will raise the price after Jiaku's statement
There will definitely be a gap between the prices of some selling stocks and their peak prices.
In other words, after this money enters the stock market, most of the listed companies in Xiangjiang will be bought by Jiaku.
Under such circumstances, Jiaku is equivalent to the stock market in Xiangjiang!
Someone always said before that when someone stamps his foot, the entire Hong Kong stock market will tremble. Now, if Chu Huan sneezes, the entire Hong Kong stock market will probably tremble.
In addition, Koko Bank will also target banks that are suffering from bank runs. How can the directors of these banks refuse such a thing now?
If they dare to refuse now, I am afraid that their headquarters will be trampled to pieces by angry depositors in the next minute.
And they will become nothing!
In other words, starting from today, Xiangjiang's banking industry and stock market have been included in Jiaku's pocket.
"Since Xiangjiang is Jiaku, Jiaku is also Xiangjiang!"
Yoder gave his final sermon sadly.
As for Jiaku taking action at this time, there will be dissatisfaction on the British side. There is no need to worry. As long as Britain still wants a seemingly stable order in Hong Kong, then Jiaku's status and influence in Xiangjiang cannot be ignored.
You even need to coax Jiaku well.
During the private discussion, Youde also understood that with tens of thousands of people surrounding the Chinese Bank, Jiaku would not be able to take action even if he did not want to!
.
In Chu Huan's office of the Chinese Bank, the chairmen of the Xiangjiang Club, the Far Eastern Club, the Gold and Silver Club, and the Kowloon Club were sitting here. They did not follow Xu Yi out, but watched the scenes on TV in Chu Huan's office.
.
They just came to China Bank, really hoping that Jiaku could take action to save Xiangjiang's stock market. In fact, they had prepared a lot of excuses, but Chu Huan did not give them this opportunity.
When they came in, they saw Mrs. Thatcher's fall on TV, and then Officer Liao came to see Chu Huan.
Until now, Chu Huan lets them watch TV.
"Director Chu, please leave your words of thanks until later. Now that Jiaku's funds have entered the market, we have to return to the exchange!"
Hu Hanhui preached aloud.
Chu Huan nodded and said with a smile: "I won't leave the four of you. Let's talk again after the incident in Xiangjiang is over!"
After sending the four people to the door of the office, Chu Huan came back.
Unexpectedly, Li Fuzhao returned after a while.
"Does anything else happen to Li Sheng?" Chu Huan asked with a smile.
Li Fuzhao, who is known as the godfather of the Hong Kong stock market and is called the principal by his employees in the company, said to Chu Huan with a smile on his face: "Nothing, I just want to thank Director Chu individually, and hope that Director Chu can
In the future, considering the fact that we have cooperated many times, please take care of me!"
At this time in the entire Xiangjiang, anyone with a far-sighted vision has clearly understood the status of Jiaku in Xiangjiang at this time. After this battle, the entire Xiangjiang will develop under the shadow of Jiaku.
Li Fuzhao is an ambitious man. Although the four associations are united in name, in fact they still do their own things. However, everyone also knows that the true alliance of the four associations is the general trend and no one can stop it.
If Li Fuzhao can get Chu Huan's support, he will really become the president of the Four Associations in the future.
Also, with the support of Chu Huan, Li Fuzhao will no longer worry about another stock market crash in Xiangjiang!
So now, Li Fuzhao gave up his dignity and came to Chu Huan to discuss this matter.
Chu Huan smiled and said: "Li Sheng is too polite. The matter in Xiangjiang has not been resolved yet. I really don't have the time to think about the future. Let's wait until the current matter is over!"
At this time, Li Fuzhao no longer dared to be dissatisfied with Chu Huan's kind words. He could only remind Chu Huan with a smile, just remember this!
After Li Fuzhao left again, Wu Shuhan walked in and said to Chu Huan: "Boss, the Hong Kong Governor's Office just called. Youde wants to visit you, boss, to see if you have time to meet with him now!"
Chu Huan smiled and said, "Let the other party come over!"
"yes!"
.
As the news of Jiaku's entry into the market to rescue the market spread through television and word of mouth from those at the door of the Chinese Bank, people who were withdrawing money at the door of major securities firms in Hong Kong and banks in Hong Kong where bank runs were occurring soon learned about it.
Then there were all kinds of cheers.
At this time, wherever there are many people, you will hear countless cheers.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Then various signs of market sweeps began to appear on the stock market. Those investors watched as the stocks they sold were quickly bought by others. At the same time, various listed companies
The stock price is also slowly rising.
The Hang Seng Index, which has been falling for almost a month, is recovering bit by bit.
Some people couldn't help but shed complicated tears.
On the other side, various banks in Hong Kong where bank runs were taking place were also experiencing scenes that made everyone excited.
Groups of armed escort vehicles carrying boxes of cash began to appear in various bank branches one after another.
Those banks that have not seen this scene naturally have not yet agreed to the conditions for the acquisition of Jiaku Bank, which made the depositors at the scene crazy.
If there weren't police officers on site to maintain order, I'm afraid there would have been a scene of violence.
Seeing this situation, the boards of directors of these banks had no choice but to be acquired by Jiaku Bank!
Time passed day by day, and after a week, the disorder and chaos in the Xiangjiang market disappeared.
Work when you should go to work, go to school when you should go to school, watch movies when you should go to the movies, and date when you should date.
With the huge financial support of Jiaku, it only took a miraculous week for Xiangjiang's economy to return to normal.
Although the Hang Seng Index has not yet risen above the 1,800 points at its peak, it has broken through 1,000 points again, and now it has reached more than 1,300 points.
This is enough to make Xiangjiang stock investors excited!
Under such circumstances, three banks, HSBC, Hang Seng and Jiaku, suddenly issued announcements.
The announcement issued by HSBC has two contents. The first one contains four small parts. First, HSBC has completed the merger and acquisition of Bank of Midland, one of the four major settlement banks in England, and announced that HSBC will reorganize the group.
, upgraded a London-based company under HSBC to a group holding company, namely HSBC Holdings plc.
Secondly, HSBC Bank has issued
The bank's shares will be transferred to the name of HSBC Holdings, and HSBC Bank shareholders will become HSBC Holdings shareholders. HSBC Holdings will issue new shares, and every 4 HSBC Bank shares will be exchanged for 1 HSBC Holdings share, reducing the original number of shares by 3/4 to facilitate overseas listing.
Third, HSBC Holdings will replace HSBC Bank in listing on the Hong Kong and London Stock Exchanges, with Hong Kong as the primary listing place.
Fourth, HSBC Bank became a wholly-owned subsidiary of HSBC Holdings, remained registered in Xiangjiang, and was responsible for business in the Xiangjiang area.
The second major content is the completion of a strategic transaction between HSBC and Kako Bank. HSBC sold Hang Seng Bank shares to trade for the shares of the South American branch of Alde Commercial Bank!
The announcement issued by Jiaku was in response to HSBC's announcement, stating that it had completed the equity transaction in Hang Seng Bank with HSBC, and in the statement, it affirmed the achievements of Hang Seng Bank's existing management, and at the same time will maintain Hang Seng Bank's existing management
The development plan will not interfere with the management of Hang Seng Bank.
Hang Seng, as the subject of this transaction, stated in the announcement that they have negotiated with HSBC and Jiaku Bank, and expressed their great welcome to Jiaku Bank's investment, and will reorganize the bank's board of directors.
The director representatives of HSBC will leave the board of directors of Hang Seng Bank, and Jiaku will send new directors to Hang Seng Bank!
As soon as the announcements of these three companies were released, they immediately caused an uproar in Hong Kong!
The content in the announcement is really shocking!
The restructuring of HSBC and the transaction of Hang Seng Bank shares have actually shown that HSBC has moved to London in disguise, and Hang Seng Bank, the most important asset of the HSBC Group, has actually become a subsidiary bank of Jiaku.
The entire transaction illustrates one thing. HSBC has given up its dominant position in the banking industry in Hong Kong, and from now on, the banking industry in Hong Kong will enter the Jiaku era!
These three announcements shocked the entire citizens of Xiangjiang and were at a loss.
However, what surprised many media was that the economic environment in Hong Kong did not fluctuate much because of this.
After thinking about it, everyone understood.
Perhaps when Jiaku came to rescue the market a week ago, the citizens of Xiangjiang actually understood one thing subconsciously: Xiangjiang is no longer the Xiangjiang it used to be.
If Hong Kong before the 1980s was called the era of HSBC, then Hong Kong from now on will be the era of Jiaku.
At the same time, Chinese Real Estate, a subsidiary of Jiaku, issued a statement.
They already hold more than 80% of the shares of Jardine Matheson and Land, and will officially start the delisting and privatization process of these two groups.
In addition, Chinese Land has completed the acquisition of two consortiums, Carnegie and Great Eagle. These two groups will replace Jardine and Land as the flagship listed company of Chinese Land!
"Boss, look, today's newspaper has this front page!"
Xu Yi came to Chu Huan's office with a newspaper and preached to Chu Huan.
"What title?" Chu Huan put down his pen and asked with a smile.
"Xiangjiang is Jiaku, and Jiaku is Xiangjiang!"
Xu Yi said with a smile.
Chu Huan just smiled relaxedly after hearing this. Just as he planned, after this battle, Jiaku completely completed its commercial upgrade in Xiangjiang.
From then on - Xiangjiang is both Jiaku and Jiaku is Xiangjiang!
