The Most Powerful Tycoon Reborn In Xiangjiang

Shen Bi hung up Li Fushu's phone with a rather complicated expression, and finally turned into a sentence: hit the street!

No one knew whether he was referring to Chu Huan or Li Fushu!

After thinking for a while, Li Fushu came to Roy Bentley's office and told Roy Bentley what happened at the Bank of East Asia just now!

"What?" Roy Bentley couldn't believe it after hearing the news, "Jiaku actually gave up the idea of ​​wholly controlling Bank of Asia?"

Shen Bi said coldly: "What is giving up? It's simply a temporary concession. It is obvious that Chu Huan has discovered that it is impossible to obtain a controlling stake in the Bank of East Asia at this time, so the temporary concession is to enter the Bank of East Asia first. The board of directors, and then alienate the members of the board of directors of the Bank of East Asia, and when they can no longer unite in the future, Chu Huan will take action again, and the acquisition of the Bank of East Asia will be a matter of course!"

Roy Bentley's complexion also became gloomy, "He's boiling a frog in warm water!"

"That's right!" Shen Bi nodded and said, "I hate the directors of the Bank of East Asia for not being able to see this kind of thing clearly, they are simply extremely stupid!"

Roy Bentley asked helplessly, "Then what should we do now?"

Originally, before this, their plan was to take advantage of this matter to enter the board of directors of the Bank of East Asia and become directors. At that time, according to the strength of HSBC, no matter what moves the bank has, they can firmly occupy their own positions. That part of the shares, and then used it to reach a cooperation agreement with Chu Huan, but it turned out that Jiaku suddenly changed its acquisition strategy now.

The matter of letting them join the Bank of Asia is over!

Shen Bi pondered: "Now it seems that it is impossible to prevent Jiaku from entering the banking industry. It seems that we can only find more potential development partners in Xiangjiang. We can continue to maintain our control over the Xiangjiang business community!"

If Jiaku still adopts the previous method of fighting a quick war of annihilation, then HSBC can take advantage of the opportunity to join the board of directors of the Bank of East Asia, but now Jiaku has adopted a step-by-step approach. , then there are not many opportunities left for HSBC.

Hearing what Shen Bi said, Roy Bentley also understood the meaning, but at the same time he also had his own worries.

"The real estate project investment department of Jiaku has made Xiangjiang's real estate companies start to move closer to Jiaku. We are actually at a disadvantage at this time!"

Now Xiangjiang is developing the fastest and the largest is the real estate industry of Xiangjiang. It is foreseeable that in the future, the real estate industry will become the mainstream industry of Xiangjiang, and in this respect, Jiaku has already moved ahead of HSBC.

Jiaku, with land and money!

Although HSBC also has money, their money cannot be transferred at will. This is less flexible than Jiaku, and HSBC has no way to compare with Zhulu Real Estate in terms of land reserves.

It can be said that in these two aspects, HSBC has fallen behind Jiaku in an all-round way!

"There is still a chance!" Shen Bi seriously analyzed: "First of all, even though Zhulu Real Estate already has a real estate project investment department, the real estate companies they can cooperate with are still limited, and the number of real estate companies that Xiangjiang can develop is absolutely absolute. It is more than the real estate company cooperated with Zhulu Real Estate. We just need to find a more suitable real estate company among them.

In addition, not all real estate companies are willing to give more benefits to Jiaku, so I think there must be some real estate companies willing to develop themselves. Among them, we can still choose companies that are willing to get the support of HSBC.

In the end, we must discover new real estate developers and give them the greatest support. Only by supporting the tycoons of the Xiangjiang real estate company who are close to us at HSBC, can we continue to compete with Chu Huan! "

After listening to Shen Bi's analysis, Roy Bentley nodded again and again, and said at the same time: "We can also cooperate with Hong Kong British-funded enterprises. After all, Xiangjiang only has so many resources. If the development of Chinese-funded enterprises grows stronger , then it will inevitably invade the resources of the British-funded enterprises in Xiangjiang, this is a natural confrontation, and it cannot be changed by Chu Huan!"

Shen Bi nodded slightly, but showed a trace of worry, and said, "However, there are some hidden problems in it!"

Roy Bentley asked him, "What's the problem?"

Shen Bi said: "That is the situation of the general environment. Now the situation in the north has changed, and the fate of Xiangjiang has become uncertain. If the last thing we want to see really happens in the future, then I think at that time many foreign-funded enterprises in Xiangjiang will seek ways to leave Xiangjiang.

In the worst case, I think that there will be a wave of capital driving in time, so where should we HSBC go? "

Roy Bentley's expression became more serious. He really had never thought about this matter, but after hearing Shen Bi's analysis at this time, Roy Bentley also understood that although this matter is still very long-term, it is absolutely It's something they've started to think about now.

"If that's the case, Xiangjiang's economy will definitely be affected at that time. Let's not talk about things that are too far away. Let's just say that if the situation of Xiangjiang is really confirmed at that time, the stock market and real estate industries of Xiangjiang will definitely be affected. It will be greatly affected!"

Shen Bi nodded: "I think so too."

Roy Bentley sighed: "From this point of view, now we have to make two preparations. One is what should we choose if Xiangjiang can continue to maintain the status quo, and the other is that if Xiangjiang's situation changes, we will How to choose!"

"According to Chu Huan's relationship with the North, and Chu Huan's development in Xiangjiang, I think we should set the future situation as the most unfavorable for us!"

Shen Bi spoke in a heavy tone.

Roy Bentley thought of the development of Jiaku in Xiangjiang, and said helplessly: "From now on, it can only be like this!"

"Um!"

Shen Bi nodded.

.

Central, Chinese people go!

At this time, Chu Huan also learned about what happened at the Bank of East Asia from Xu Yi's mouth.

"Hehe, it's really unintentional. I underestimated Shen Bi before, but I didn't expect that the other party was planning to fish in troubled waters!"

Chu Huan did not expect that HSBC would take advantage of this opportunity to become a shareholder of Bank of Asia and become a director of Bank of East Asia, and his previous changes also indirectly disrupted HSBC's plan!

Xu Yi nodded and said: "I was a little surprised when I heard that Li Fushu was going to bring HSBC to the board of directors of the Bank of East Asia, but fortunately, because we changed the acquisition plan in time, the directors of the Bank of East Asia also made corresponding decisions. In the end, HSBC was prevented from entering the board of directors of the Bank of East Asia by accident."

Chu Huan said with a smile: "I think the atmosphere at HSBC will not be very good at this time!"

Xu Yi nodded and said: "I also think so. If HSBC really joins Bank of Asia and becomes a member of the board of directors of Bank of East Asia, then HSBC will continue to strengthen its prestige in the Hong Kong banking industry. I think there is really no such thing at that time." Any bank can replace HSBC's position in Hong Kong."

Chu Huan also nodded, and said, "Since we've hit the right track, let it be. The most important thing now is to get the support of more board members of the Bank of East Asia according to our plan. After we first control the board of directors of the Bank of East Asia Let's talk about something else!"

Xu Yi nodded first, and then asked: "Then Ma Jizu's actions continue?"

Chu Huan said: "Naturally, we will continue. That card will be the trump card for us to formally gain a foothold in the Xiangjiang Banking industry in the future. We must continue and must succeed!"

Xu Yi nodded and said: "Understood, I will notify President Ma!"

"Um!"

.

"The acquisition of Bank of East Asia by Jiaku has ushered in a major reversal. Just at the shareholders meeting of Bank of East Asia, Ms. Xu Yi, a representative of Bank of East Asia, revealed in an interview with our reporter that Jiaku had given up on the acquisition of Bank of East Asia. The plan is to participate in the development of Bank of East Asia as the largest shareholder and director of Bank of East Asia.

Before this, Jiaku had always been very aggressive in acquiring Bank of East Asia, but now it suddenly stopped the acquisition at this time. According to the analysis of this newspaper, it is very likely because of Bank of East Asia's own development model brought about by the effect.

Bank of East Asia has been known for its prudence and conservatism since its establishment. The loan-to-deposit ratio has never exceeded the red line of 50%. At the same time, both the shareholders of Bank of East Asia and the holders of Bank of East Asia's stock believe in the future of Bank of East Asia. This also brought Jiaku’s previous acquisitions in the stock market to a standstill.

In addition, this newspaper also received news that Mr. Li Fushu, chairman of the board of directors of Bank of East Asia, has obtained the support of HSBC. If Jiaku wants to continue to expand the acquisition of Bank of East Asia, it does not rule out the possibility of introducing HSBC to the board of directors of Bank of East Asia.

Based on the above, these should be the important reasons why Jiaku stopped the wholly-owned acquisition of Bank of East Asia.

Of course, we need to wait and see whether Jiaku really decides to stop the acquisition of Bank of East Asia, or it is a strategic concession! "

Just at noon today, Xiangjiang's "Letter" temporarily published an afternoon report, which elaborated on the whole story of Jiaku's acquisition of Bank of East Asia. This matter immediately caused quite a stir in Xiangjiang.

"A library actually stopped the acquisition of Bank of East Asia?"

"It's been said in the newspapers, so it should be true, right?"

"If my memory is correct, this seems to be the first failed acquisition of Jiaku since its establishment?"

"Do you think it's a failure to become the largest shareholder of Bank of East Asia and become a director of the board of directors?"

"For others, it is not a failure, but for Jiaku, it is a failure. Think about the previous record of Jiaku, the acquisition of Hang Lung Real Estate, Qingzhou Yingni, Chinese Land, Hehe International-Wheelock, etc. The worst thing about the enterprise is that it has won the management right of this company, but now it is only a director of the board of directors of Bank of East Asia, the largest shareholder, but it has not obtained the management right of Bank of East Asia, this is a failed acquisition!"

"It's not unreasonable for you to say that. It stands to reason that according to Jiaku's financial resources, it shouldn't be too difficult to acquire Bank of East Asia?"

"The difficulty is not great, but the investment must be large. In the case of the Bank of East Asia, if you want to complete the acquisition, you must at least spend three to five times the market value of the acquisition, and whether such an acquisition meets the requirements of Jiaku Claims of interests, these are two things."

"I also think so, and everyone, don't forget that besides the acquisition of Bank of East Asia, the real king of Jiaku is the Xiangjiang branch of Alder Commercial Bank, which will be listed in Xiangjiang next month. That is the percentage of Jiaku. For Bai Holdings, the Bank of East Asia is just a side dish!"

There have been discussions in various places in Xiangjiang regarding the suspension of Jiaku's wholly-owned acquisition of Bank of East Asia.

But no matter what kind of discussion, in fact, it cannot be separated from four aspects, Jiaku, Bank of East Asia, HSBC, and Alder Commercial Bank, which is about to enter Xiangjiang!

The Public Relations Department of Xiangjiang Jiaku, which has been paying attention to the development of public opinion on this matter, immediately compiled such discussions among the people into a report and handed it to Chu Huan.

Looking at the report in his hand, Chu Huan nodded slightly, at least his previous goal had been achieved.

To paralyze everyone's vigilance about Jiaku's continued acquisition of the Bank of East Asia, the second is to pay attention to the Xiangjiang branch of Alder Commercial Bank.

"There is only attention, but this attention has not been transformed into the trust of depositors. The chairman is our mistake!"

Ye Qing, manager of the public relations department of Xiangjiang Jiaku, took the initiative to admit her mistake to Chu Huan.

In Chu Huan's hands, in addition to the report of Xiangjiang people on Jiaku's suspension of the wholly-owned acquisition of Bank of East Asia, there is also a report from Xiangjiang Jiaku on Xiangjiang citizens' views on Alder Commercial Bank.

It is true that Chu Huan is the number one person in Xiangjiang, and Jiaku is also the number one consortium in Xiangjiang, but it is still difficult for the citizens of Xiangjiang to put their savings into the Xiangjiang branch of Alder Commercial Bank.

"The main problem here is the problem of inertia. Although the influence of both the chairman and our Jiaku in Xiangjiang is sufficient, for ordinary Xiangjiang citizens, Alder Commercial Bank Xiangjiang Branch is always a new bank. Compared with Alder Commercial Bank Xiangjiang Branch, people are more willing to trust those banks that have been working in Xiangjiang for many years, and they are more willing to trust HSBC!"

Ye Qing continued to explain to Chu Huan.

Chu Huan saw the report in his hand, and the people from the public relations department temporarily dispatched 300 Xiangjiang citizens on the street, including young people, middle-aged people, and old people!

In this report, more than 80% of people will still choose to put their savings in HSBC, and only 5% of people will try to put their savings in Alder Commercial Bank.

"Although this data is much better than some other foreign-funded banks, there is still no way to meet our previous expectations!"

Ye Qing spoke in disappointment.

According to where the Xiangjiang branch of Alder Commercial Bank entered Xiangjiang, the optimistic speculation of the entire Jiaku, and according to the influence of Chu Huan and Jiaku in Xiangjiang, this figure should reach at least 15%.

Now it's only one-third of it!

Faced with this result, Chu Huan just waved his hands and said not very concerned: "It's okay, the banking industry is different from other industries. In this industry, everyone is more willing to trust those banks with history and reputation. It is also a reasonable thing.

Moreover, the main development business of Alder Commercial Bank is not in this area. There is still plenty of time now. We can wait for the Xiangjiang Branch of Alder Commercial Bank to be officially listed in Xiangjiang, and then slowly improve this matter! "

The main business of Alder Commercial Bank Xiangjiang Branch in Xiangjiang is not competing with other banks in Xiangjiang for depositors in Xiangjiang.

Although for many banks, the deposits of depositors are the basis for their development of other businesses, but for Alder Commercial Bank, the situation is different.

For Chu Huan, the main business of Alder Commercial Bank Xiangjiang Branch is the connection with operators of various industries in Xiangjiang, as well as investment, insurance, and wealth management and other businesses.

As for these businesses, Xiangjiang Jiaku’s own funds can now be satisfied. The most important thing is that when these businesses are launched, they will definitely bring more cash support to Alder Commercial Bank.

In addition, Alder Commercial Bank is also a bridge for Chu Huan's Jiaku in the global business.

To put it simply, the Xiangjiang Branch of Alder Commercial Bank is taking the upper-level route in Xiangjiang, while the Xiangjiang Local Bank to be acquired in the future is taking the civilian route.

Of course, this is limited to their business in Hong Kong.

But no matter what, judging from the current situation, it must take a long time for Jiaku to make a difference in Xiangjiang's banking industry.

After finishing the conversation with Ye Qing, Chu Huan called in the person in charge of the Xiangjiang Branch of Alder Commercial Bank.

There are two people in charge of Alder Commercial Bank Xiangjiang Branch, one is President Ben Taylor, and the other is General Manager Tang Ming. Created, Ben Taylor was transferred to Xiangjiang.

And Tang Ming was the leader of the five teams of the former Aku Operations Department. After going through layers of screening, Chu Huan personally made the decision to be the general manager of the Xiangjiang Branch of Alder Commercial Bank.

"Let's go, let's go and see how the company's decoration is doing?"

After Chu Huan called the two of them, he didn't say anything, but asked them to accompany him to the Global Building, the headquarters of the Xiangjiang Branch of Alder Commercial Bank, which is currently under renovation.

The entire Universal Building is 28 stories high, and the Xiangjiang Branch of Alder Commercial Bank only leased the top five floors, and the rest of the floors are still leased to other companies.

The three of them took the elevator to the top floor, which was under intense construction. Chu Huan stood in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, looked at the Haifu Center which had just been completed next to it, and preached to Ben Taylor with a smile.

"You have been in Xiangjiang for a while, how do you feel about Xiangjiang?"

Ben Taylor followed Chu Huan and said with a smile: "This is a city full of vitality. No matter where you are, you can see commercial buildings under construction. Walking on the street, you can also see people who are busy making a living. People, I think this place will definitely become the commercial center of the entire Southeast Asia in the future!"

Chu Huan chuckled, noncommittal, and then continued to ask: "Did you only see these?"

Ben Taylor was stunned for a moment, and after thinking for a while, he couldn't help but said: "Actually, I personally feel that Xiangjiang's development is actually a bit deformed!"

Chu Huan still had no expression, but continued to ask: "Tell me your opinion!"

Ben Taylor couldn't help but said: "Through the investigation during this period of time, I found that whether it is the Xiangjiang Hong Kong government or the businessmen in Xiangjiang, they put the future development of Xiangjiang more in the two sections of real estate and finance. Originally, the manufacturing industry in Xiangjiang was also very prosperous before this, and in fact the manufacturing industry in Xiangjiang is also the same now, but I can always feel that the manufacturing industry is not very popular in Xiangjiang.

Some Xiangjiang manufacturers, after they have obtained funds from this industry, will not expand their production scale, but will take the excess funds to the real estate and financial industries of Xiangjiang. They are willing to buy more properties and invest More stocks, but just unwilling to develop their own industry.

Even though there is a mysterious group called Kyushu in Xiangjiang now, it is reasonable to say that the electronic equipment produced by Kyushu Group can support many manufacturers, but there are few such supporting companies in Xiangjiang.

I think this is actually unhealthy. Maybe there is no problem with this kind of development in a short period of time, but if people in the whole city regard real estate and finance as the mainstream, then Xiangjiang's economy is likely to become a castle in the air in the future. A small change in policy could cause great harm to the city. "

After Ben Taylor finished speaking, he looked at Chu Huan cautiously. With such an analysis, if Chu Huan hadn’t taken the initiative to ask today, Ben Taylor might have to wait until the Xiangjiang Branch of Alder Commercial Bank is officially listed in Xiangjiang in the future before looking for a suitable one. The opportunity came to talk to Chu Huan.

Chu Huan nodded slightly as he stood there.

The biggest dilemma for Xiangjiang’s development in the next few decades is actually here. All the funds in the society have entered the two sectors of real estate and finance, but because the development of these two sectors has exceeded everyone’s expectations, when everyone After discovering that it is easy to earn more paper wealth in these two sections.

The resulting social effect is that ordinary factories cannot feed the increasing number of workers, and the managers of all other industries are also keen on such industries that stir up money, but lack more capital investment in their own industries.

It ended up being what Ben Taylor described.

During the financial crisis of Xiangjiang in the 1990s, if there were no hometowns supporting Xiangjiang, the economic chain of Xiangjiang, a castle in the sky, would really collapse.

In fact, in this process, many people have not thought about changing this situation.

In another time and space, the later Hong Kong government wanted to build Xiangjiang into a technological city, but Xiao Li seized this opportunity and expressed his willingness to build a digital city. At that time, the Hong Kong government also granted Xiao Li 64 acres of land The intention of building a digital city is to increase more industrial chains in Xiangjiang.

But in the end, Xiao Li turned this digital city into a real estate project. Although many people talked about how Xiao Li made a lot of money with empty hands and white wolves, in fact, this matter also made Xiao Li The Hong Kong government and the hometown have put a big X in their hearts.

If it weren't for the good mediation of his father Li Chaoren at the time, it would be like a joke for Xiao Li to get out of this matter smoothly!

In addition, in order to curb the rapidly inflated housing prices in Xiangjiang, the Hong Kong government wanted to launch some affordable housing, but it ended in failure.

Even the real estate developers in Xiangjiang did not come forward for this matter. All the people who had already bought houses in Xiangjiang protested on this matter.

The scale of the protest was also very sensational at the time.

Because many property owners in Xiangjiang do not buy houses for living, but for speculation. If affordable housing is launched, it will also have a major blow to the housing prices in Xiangjiang.

So it was impossible to do other things in Xiangjiang at that time.

At most, it is to survive in the cracks!

But it's different now.

"After the Alder Commercial Bank Xiangjiang Branch is listed, I will inject 300 million U.S. dollars into the bank, and the bank will also use this fund to find other industries besides real estate and finance for investment in Xiangjiang. I hope you can Find the most suitable investment project for this fund!"

Chu Huan calmly preached to Ben Taylor.

Why did Ben Taylor, who was not very familiar with Xiangjiang before, be appointed as the president of the Xiangjiang branch of Alder Commercial Bank? What Chu Huan wanted was that he had not yet formed an inherent impression of Xiangjiang's business environment.

Only in this way can he find more industries suitable for investment among more Xiangjiang companies.

If the business environment of Xiangjiang can really flourish in the future, then for Chu Huan, who regards Xiangjiang as his base, it can also create more wealth.

After listening to this, Ben Taylor nodded immediately and said, "Chairman, don't worry, I will let the bank's investment department pay attention to collecting this information now!"

Chu Huan nodded slightly, and continued to speak: "In addition, we must pay attention to the company's development in Southeast Asia. Southeast Asia is likely to become a substitute for Xiangjiang's manufacturing industry in the future. At the same time, as the world environment gradually becomes peaceful, the development of Southeast Asia will also It will definitely enter a period of development slowly!"

The main business of Alder Commercial Bank Xiangjiang Branch is still in Xiangjiang and Southeast Asia, and Chu Huan has always been thinking about Xiangjiang Local Bank, and their future development direction is still in their hometown!

After talking with Ben Taylor, Chu Huan said to Tang Ming again: "If there is any problem in the development of the company in Southeast Asia, you can seek help from the head office!"

As Tang Ming, who came out of Xiangjiang Jiaku, he naturally knew the influence of the company in Southeast Asia, so he preached firmly.

"Chairman, please rest assured!"

After finishing his orders with Ben Taylor and Tang Ming, Chu Huan returned to No. 12, Mount Kellie Road!

With the temporary closure of the Bank of East Asia acquisition case, Chu Huan had nothing to do during this period, and spent a month peacefully.

Then when Chu Huan was about to attend the opening ceremony of Alder Commercial Bank Xiangjiang Branch, Cao Yunshang approached Chu Huan excitedly, and said something that made Chu Huan very excited!

The typo is changed first and then changed, and Huangshan continues to code~~
