Chapter 335 Shen Bi's Actions

After Li Guangyu returned to Li's Building, he called Liu Tianci and Zhou Liangshuyi to ask them to stop promoting the Hong Kong Financial Management Authority and focus on the upcoming men's volleyball world preliminaries.

As for the people in power of the major newspapers outside, they are not idiots. The media under Li Guangyu have changed the direction of their reports, so they will not confront the Xiangjiang government.As for those who want to attract people's attention, they can't make any waves.

Li Guangyu then found Yuan Tianfan and Luo Qianwen, and asked them to arrange personnel to go to the Financial Management Bureau to apply for a bank license as soon as possible, and at the same time start preparing for the family's bank.

Li Guangyu returned to the Dao Building happily arranging the next work. After Shen Bi returned to HSBC, he was in a very bad mood, and his face showed that he should not get close to strangers.

I have worked so hard to contact the big boss of the British consortium, just to prevent the Li Group from entering the bank, especially not wanting the Li Group to get the international settlement business. I did not expect that this time the Li Group succeeded.

Thinking that all the business of Xiangjiang Huazi Group would go to Li's Group Bank in the future, Shen Bi felt unwilling.He has been friends with various Chinese families for more than ten years, and even helped the Chinese-owned consortium acquire companies under the British-funded consortium for this reason. He didn't want to be ruined just because of the establishment of the Li's Group Bank.

Shen Bi called the manager of the administration department and told him, "You contact me with all the Chinese capital families except Li Guangyu and the He Dong family, Luo Luocheng family and Cao Wenjin family, and invite them to participate in the event we are holding tomorrow night. For the HSBC Charity Auction, the invitations should be more delicate."

Shen Bi wanted to negotiate cooperation with the major Chinese families in Xiangjiang before the Li Group Bank was established, so that the major families could continue to cooperate with their HSBC Bank in the future.

Among them, Li Ka-shing, Li Zhaoji, Guo Desheng and others are the key objects he wants to win over. These are all allies of Li Guangyu. If they all choose to cooperate with HSBC, it will be a big blow to the newly established bank of the Li Group .

Shen Bi found the manager of the business department and asked him about the repayment of the Li Group.Thinking of this, Shen Bi was even more upset. He originally wanted to win over a long-term partner with HSBC, but he didn't expect that a hungry wolf would usher in just a few years, and now it was a great threat to HSBC.

The manager of the business department replied: "The first phase of the 10 billion Hong Kong dollar loan of the Li Group will expire in five days. They have already stated that as soon as the time comes, they will immediately return the loan to our bank."

Shen Bi originally wanted to spread the word that Li's Group owed HSBC a loan of more than 30 billion Hong Kong dollars, which was about to reach the repayment period, causing public concerns about Li's Group. However, considering the terrifying profits of Li's Group, he gave up this idea .

This news had no effect on the Li Group, Shen Bi thought it was just a headache, any large group in Xiangjiang is not tight, afraid of the bank's debt collection, they always hope to extend their loan period.

However, Li's Group currently has tens of billions of dollars in their hands, and this little loan of mine is nothing to Li's Group at all.

At 3:11 on the evening of March 07, many family heads came to the Peninsula Hotel one after another. As the time approached eight o'clock, some tycoons appeared at the Peninsula Hotel.

Many newspaper reporters also recorded the people who came outside the hotel. They waited until the charity auction started, but they couldn't see Li Guangyu's appearance. The family and HSBC are completely strangers.

Inside the Peninsula Hotel, after the item auction was completed, Shen Bi began to chat with the tycoons who came to the meeting.It tells about the friendly cooperation between HSBC and all of you present here over the years, and I hope that you will continue to cooperate with HSBC in the future based on this affection.

After Shen Bi finished speaking, none of the tycoons present responded immediately.They are very clear about what has happened in the past few days. In this confrontation, except that the Li Group has not obtained the right to issue banknotes in Hong Kong dollars, other banking businesses will become the most complete banking business in Hong Kong, just like HSBC and Standard Chartered. one of the banks.

The intention of HSBC to invite me and others to come here this time is very obvious, that is, I hope that the group business of myself and others will be handled by HSBC instead of being transferred to Li's bank.

The more difficult ones are Li Ka-shing and Pao Yu-gang. The success of these two people is due to the help of HSBC. If you let them leave HSBC and hand over the business to Li's bank, they still can't do it.

But if it is all handed over to HSBC, it is even more unreasonable.Especially Li Ka-shing, his own group, regardless of Cheung Kong or Hutchison Whampoa, the Li Group is the second largest shareholder. Both groups handed over their business to HSBC, and the Li Group would not be willing.

Shen Bi saw that everyone was silent, and the scene was rather embarrassing.So I asked Li Ka-shing: "Mr. Li Ka-shing, I don't know what you think? We, HSBC and your subsidiary Cheung Kong and Hutchison Whampoa have always been very happy to cooperate. We hope that we can reach a long-term partnership."

Seeing that Shen Bi had asked him by name, Li Ka-shing could not justify it if he did not give an answer. With his current achievements, Shen Bi had provided a lot of help to him.

Li Ka-shing said: "Mr. Shen Bi, you also know that the two groups, the Li Group, are the second largest shareholders, and I have to consider their opinions. Therefore, it may be difficult to hand over all business to HSBC. I will try my best to Let the business of Hutchison Whampoa and your HSBC continue to maintain close cooperation."

Li Ka-shing can only let Hutchison Whampoa and HSBC cooperate. Without the help of HSBC, Li Ka-shing cannot win Hutchison Whampoa.

Shen Bi was not disappointed with Li Ka-shing's actions. The influence of the Li Group in these two major groups is not small. It is already very good for Li Ka-shing to take out Hutchison Whampoa and cooperate with his own HSBC Bank.

Shen Bi then asked Bao Yugang. Bao Yugang got Wharf because HSBC provided him with a loan of 20 billion Hong Kong dollars, so that they had the financial resources to eat the shares held by Li Guangyu. Woolen cloth.

Bao Yugang really had a hard time making a choice. He also hoped that Wharf would go to Japan to open up the market, so that Li's Group could take him under. If Wharf did not cooperate with Li's Bank, he would not have the face to seek help from Li's Group.

But I got Wharf without the help of HSBC. I am still an independent director of HSBC. If I don't cooperate with HSBC, this matter cannot be justified.

After thinking about it for a while, the charter king said: "Mr. Shen Bi, you really gave me a problem. This is a very important matter, and I need to discuss with the group's senior management before making a decision. Don't worry, the business of our global shipping group will remain unchanged. Cooperate with your HSBC bank, and Wharf will give you an answer in two days."

Afterwards, Shen Bi also asked some other bigwigs, and many of them chose to cooperate with HSBC.There are also some who will continue to cooperate with HSBC and reserve part of the business for the Li Group. Some are because of the favor of HSBC, and some hope to have both sides.
