Start from 1980

Chapter 651 You Are A Funny Person

Shen Taiban, who is very familiar to Hong Kong people, has retired, and Pu Weishi, a veteran who has worked in HSBC for more than [-] years, took over.

Good guy, as soon as he took office, he heard the news that those two lunatics were going to buy Hang Seng Bank.

After all, they are also living in this three-acre land in Hong Kong, so they naturally know those two names, and they have seen that young man.

Young people like Lengtouqing, but it is these two Lengtouqing who can make a splash in Hong Kong.

Pu Weishi's reaction was the same as that of many people. How about the Hong Kong Hotel?
Why didn't you do it?

On the contrary, it is doing things here and there.

This news made everyone think that Shengshi was just pretending to buy Hang Seng Bank, so that the Kadoorie family could relax their vigilance, and then do something secretly.

When Pu Weishi was about to hold a meeting to guard against the two lunatics, the secretary came to report.

"Boss, the chairman and president of Shengshi are here to visit you."

Pu Weishi was stunned for a moment: "You mean two high-level executives from Shengshi came to visit me?"

"Yes."

"You welcome them, I'll go right away." Pu Weishi said.

Although he doesn't know if the other party is really here to buy those shares, he must respect them.

After a while, he went to see the two lunatics.

In the reception room, Su Chen and Tang Wanru were drinking the coffee brought by the secretary.

Just after taking a sip, there was a knock on the door.

After being pushed away from the outside, Pu Weishi stepped in.

"Welcome to our HSBC Bank." He smiled and stretched out his hand, "I didn't expect Miss Mary, who is called the goddess of sniping, to be so young, and Chairman Su, who is called a stock madman, is also young and promising. "

"Mr. Pu Weiss hello."

Su Chen and Tang Wanru shook hands with him.

"Please sit down." Pu Weishi said.

After everyone sat down, he said again: "First of all, congratulations to the two of you for acquiring Wing On Bank. I believe that under the leadership of you two, Wing On Bank can be brought back to life like a healthy year."

"We think so too." Tang Wanru smiled, and continued: "Mr. Pu Weishi must have known that we are going to buy the shares of Hang Seng Bank from your hands, right?"

"Are you really going to buy shares in Hang Seng Bank?" Pu Weiss frowned slightly.

Tang Wanru nodded: "Yes, we won't joke about this kind of thing. If you think the price of one billion is low, we can still talk about it."

At this time, the Hong Kong banking crisis broke out.

In 1983, Hang Lung Bank was in a quagmire and could not extricate itself.

After the Hong Kong government took over Hang Lung Bank, it was discovered that the bank had lost as much as 3.36 million yuan.

Among them, as much as 2.66 million yuan was borrowed by the company's directors and related institutions with very little collateral.

The fuse of the bank's takeover was the discovery of a debt of up to 8 million yuan owed by Diners to Hang Lung Bank. After that, Standard Chartered Bank, which had always supported Hang Lung Bank, gave up its continued support and exposed the problem.

On June 1985, 6, the Hong Kong government suddenly announced that the Overseas Trust Bank was closed for two days due to "unable to repay debts".Afterwards, the Hong Kong government announced the takeover of Hightower Bank, and the check round incident was exposed.

When Hang Lung Bank was taken over in 1983, Ka Wah Bank's deposits were also affected.

When Hightower Bank was taken over in 1985, it was widely rumored that Ka Wah had fallen into financial crisis in view of its close relationship with Hightower Bank.

In order to get out of the predicament, Ka Wah Bank began to negotiate with the relevant consortium on value-added shareholding matters.

It is worth mentioning that after Ka Wah Bank's financial crisis surfaced, the Liu Cansong brothers absconded and fled Hong Kong.

Later, they were arrested in Singapore and Malaysia respectively. The two were suspected of defrauding 7.7 million yuan.

In addition to the above, there is Union Bank.

After the Haito Bank accident, Union Bank was also deeply affected by unfavorable rumors in the market, and a large number of deposits were lost, resulting in a serious shortage of liquidity.

In September 1985, Wen Rencai, chairman of the board of directors and general manager of the bank, left Hong Kong for the United States due to illness.

It is a good time to take over the bank, otherwise Su Chen would not be so eager to come to HSBC.

Because he is not the only one who wants to take over, so if you want to pick, pick the big one.

With the outbreak of the banking crisis, the lives of both HSBC and Hang Seng have been affected to some extent. Fortunately, this is an established company and is still very reputable in the hearts of Hong Kong people.

Pu Weishi laughed and said: "The two are indeed business geniuses, but if 10 billion wants to acquire Hang Seng, even if I agree, the board of directors will not agree."

Having worked in HSBC for more than [-] years, Pu Weiss is naturally not a mediocre talent to succeed Shen Bi.

Instead, he is smart.

Like Shen Bi, Pu Weishi has a close relationship with Hong Kong's rich locals.

"So, ask for a price and pay back the money on the spot." Tang Wanru smiled, "Negotiating and negotiating, it is natural to negotiate, not just sell or refuse whatever price I offer."

Pu Weiss shook his head: "Hang Seng Bank has developed very well in our hands, and there is no need to sell it."

"It seems that your Excellency is not satisfied with our price." Su Chen took over, "Then how about we increase the price and buy those Hang Seng shares in your hands for 12 billion?"

"Mr. Su really knows how to joke." Pu Weishi still shook his head with a smile on his face, "Man, you are a funny person."

As the saying goes, the prosperity of the world is for profit; the world is for profit.

The so-called price is not enough, which means that the benefits are not enough to tempt them. After all, HSBC is now second to none in Hong Kong. There is no need for them to sell their shares and cause a crisis.

How can others sleep on the side of the couch?

A tiger has been staring at you, either kill it or subdue it, of course, killing it is the safest measure.

No one wants to feed tigers.

Su Chen smiled and said: "The reason why you don't sell it is nothing more than worrying that Hang Seng will become your competitor."

Pu Weishi was silent.

Su Chen went on to say: "I never thought of competing with HSBC. Presumably you also know that I want to buy Hong Kong Hotel. I bought Hang Seng just to add an insurance for myself."

"Man, if you are short of money, we at HSBC can give you a loan." Pu Weiss said with a smile, "Given Shengshi's industries in Hong Kong and overseas, I believe that there is no problem with a credit of 30 to [-] billion."

He was worried that these two lunatics were tossing about in Hong Kong, they looked like prehistoric monsters, and the ferocious way of eating was frightening.

"No, our goal is not Hong Kong. Hong Kong's plate is too small." Su Chen smiled sincerely, "Our goal is overseas, and tossing and tossing in Hong Kong is always our own people beating our own people."

Pu Weishi felt contempt in his heart, who the hell is the same guy as you?

"If we want to go overseas, we naturally need a large capital market. After thinking about it, only Hang Seng is the most suitable. If the price is right, I really want to buy it."

Su Chen said solemnly, "As the shareholders of Hang Seng, I can assure you that Hang Seng will not fight with HSBC."

"You have been working in HSBC for decades, and you must have clearly understood the psychology of HSBC directors.

The reason for any objections is nothing more than insufficient interests. As long as the interests are large enough, all objections will disappear. "

"And I can also assure you that the number of Hang Seng Bank branches in Hong Kong will not continue to expand."

Su Chen said, "Your Excellency and I hit it off as old friends. I can't wait to burn yellow paper and chop chicken heads to become brothers. Therefore, my final quotation is 15 billion. If you want to sell it, you can discuss it with the board of directors."

"I will pass on your opinion to the board of directors." Pu Weishi said.

"In that case, let's take our leave first and wait for your good news." Su Chen said with a smile.

When Su Chen and Tang Wanru left, Pu Weishi still didn't understand the real intention of these two people. Is it really to buy Hang Seng Bank?
But people always have the psychology of comparison, and Shen Bi has been of great help to the rise of Chartered Ship King and Li Cucumber.

Pu Weishi has earned a lot of money in his current position, but he still lacks reputation. He also wants to support a rich local man.

When someone mentions XX in the future, it will also be mentioned that XX did not rely on him, Pu Weishi.

After getting in the car, Tang Wanru glanced at Su Chen: "Do you think Pu Weishi will be fooled?"
