Through the wealth life

838 - Chapter [-]
During the past few days when Li Guangyu was busy dealing with the affairs of Xingyuan Group, the confrontation on Xiangjiang's side was also very fierce, and the public opinion war in the media never stopped.

Neither Stick Sutherland nor George Lavin wanted a third bank to share their interests, so they did not hesitate to spend a lot of money on the media to criticize the Lee Consortium and Tianyu Bank.

Li Xuemei is obviously unwilling to let Tianyu Bank lose the opportunity to win the right to issue banknotes in Hong Kong dollars. Although Hong Kong Bank can also replace it, some of the reasons for attacking by HSBC and Standard Chartered will not stand.

However, after all, Tianyu Bank is wholly owned by Li's consortium, while Li Guangyu of Xiangjiang Bank is only the biggest personal beneficiary. This is completely different in nature.

Tianyu Bank is like a real son, a direct descendant of the direct line, while Xiangjiang Bank is just a godson, and the Li's consortium naturally hopes that Tianyu Bank can control this power.

In Li Xuemei's office, Luo Qianwen, executive vice president of Tianyu Financial Group, Xia Fengxing, chairman of Tianyu Bank, vice president of the group, Le Yiling, president of Xiangyu Group, and Shi Shaoming, president of Jiayi Group, discussed the current situation together.

Li Xuemei said: "Time is running out now, and the government will make a decision on it the day after tomorrow. Judging from the current situation, public opinion is very unfavorable to us. The key point is that Tianyu Bank is not a listed company and our bank's financial situation is not good enough." The issue of openness and opacity is currently the biggest obstacle.”

The few people present were silent for a while. Even if their media tried their best to defend these days, it still could not change the situation. If Tianyu Bank wants to obtain the right to issue banknotes in Hong Kong dollars, it must make its finances open and transparent. In this way, all walks of life in Hong Kong Only then can I rest assured.

But now Li Guangyu obviously won't let Tianyu Bank go public, let alone make the bank's financial information public.

You must know that Tianyu Bank is the center of the entire Li's consortium, which involves a lot of information about the Li's consortium, and they will not expose it.

Once Tianyu Bank is listed, the bank will have a supervisory committee to supervise the bank, and many operations of the Li consortium will be very troublesome.

In particular, Li Guangyu, who does not develop according to common sense, often moves funds on a temporary basis. After listing, some procedures are not easy to operate.

Seeing that no one spoke, Luo Qianwen said: "I suggest that we give up and let Tianyu Bank fight for the right to issue banknotes in Hong Kong dollars this time. From the current point of view, even if our bank wins this right, it will not do much for our development. The big advantage is that as long as we have the rights and interests in this area, we can talk about the Hong Kong dollar. As for whether Tianyu Bank or Hong Kong Bank obtains this right, I don’t think there is much difference.”

Luo Qianwen is very clear that even if they now rely on the approval of England and the help of the Governor's Office to win the right to issue banknotes in Hong Kong dollars, it will cause a lot of controversy in the future.

After all, the Hong Kong dollar involves the vital interests of millions of citizens in Hong Kong and all walks of life in Hong Kong. They don't want it to be controlled by a bank that is not listed. Then they don't know the specifics of this bank at all, and they definitely want to put an end to the unknown.

Seeing that Luo Qianwen also chose to let Tianyu Bank give up this opportunity, Li Xuemei knew that this time Tianyu Bank probably had no chance.

She knew Li Guangyu's habits, and it was very difficult for him to let his group go public.

Especially for these groups wholly owned by the Lee consortium, as long as Li Guangyu is willing, they can be easily listed in New York, London, Hong Kong and Tokyo. Li Fuzhao, chairman of the Far East Exchange, has discussed with Li Guangyu many times, hoping that Some groups under the Li family were able to list on the Far East Exchange, but Li Guangyu rejected them without hesitation.

Tianyu Bank is the center of Li's consortium, how could Li Guangyu let this company go public.

Li Xuemei estimated that Li Guangyu had anticipated the current situation a long time ago, so she pushed Hong Kong Bank to compete for the right to issue banknotes in Hong Kong dollars a long time ago. This time, she also refused to force Tianyu Bank to obtain the right to issue banknotes in Hong Kong dollars, so she had nothing to do. Under the circumstances, let Xiangjiang Bank win this power, and at the same time let Xiangjiang Bank go public in the near future.

Li Xuemei asked Le Yiling, "Yi Ling, what do you think about this?"

"Looking at it now, our Tianyu Bank's acquisition of this right has indeed done more harm than good. Our bank has really obtained the right to issue banknotes in Hong Kong dollars. This will put our bank in the public opinion for a long time, which is not conducive to the development of our bank. As long as Tianyu Bank If it is not listed, there is no good way to solve this matter. In the face of increasingly fierce public opinion, I think it is better to let Xiangjiang Bank go.”

In the past few days, Le Yiling has been in charge of media affairs, and she is in charge of coordinating Li's Media to fight back against public opinion in the market.

Now Xiangjiang media is a bit weird, and Le Yiling is very clear that it is not only the forces of HSBC and Standard Chartered who are fanning the flames, but also some other forces are fueling the flames. They don't want Tianyu Bank to get the right to issue banknotes in Hong Kong dollars.

Moreover, Le Yiling already had some clues, but she couldn't handle this matter by herself. She had to report to Li Guangyu and follow Li Guangyu's arrangement.

Li Xuemei saw that everyone felt that Tianyu Bank's right to issue Hong Kong dollar banknotes would do more harm than good, so she no longer insisted on some of her ideas.

She said: "Yi Ling, your media will change your publicity next, focus on Xiangjiang Bank, and promise to the outside world that Xiangjiang Bank will start the listing process in the future, and strive to be listed on the Far East Exchange in August."

Le Yiling replied: "I will make a unified arrangement after the meeting. I believe that in this way, all circles in Hong Kong will accept it, and HSBC and Standard Chartered will have no reason to attack."

Le Yiling knew that some forces were fueling the public opinion this time, but how could Li Xuemei not know.

It's just that she needs to spend her energy these days to get Tianyu Bank to obtain the right to issue banknotes in Hong Kong dollars, so she ignores it for the time being.

Now that they have planned to give up this right, it is time for them to fight back.

After Li Xuemei announced the adjournment of the meeting, she immediately contacted Zheng Yutong, Feng Jingxi, Feng Jingyao, and He Youguang to communicate with them about Hong Kong Bank's acquisition of the right to issue banknotes in Hong Kong dollars.

The major shareholders of Hong Kong Bank have been waiting for the next few days. They did not persuade the Lee consortium to allow Hong Kong Bank to obtain the right to issue banknotes in Hong Kong dollars.

They knew very well how much Li Guangyu paid for this right. If it weren't for Li Guangyu, they might not have been able to obtain the right to issue Hong Kong dollar notes for the rest of their lives. Even if Tianyu Bank won this right, it was what Tianyu Bank deserved.

After receiving Li Xuemei's invitation, several people expressed that they would contact their company's shareholders to discuss this matter at the Peninsula Hotel in the evening.

Youde also received a call from Li Xuemei very quickly. He was happy to hear that Li's consortium was willing to give up Tianyu Bank's right to issue banknotes in Hong Kong dollars. Now the pressure of public opinion is very strong. If their government compulsively passes this resolution, it will have an impact on their government. Not small either.

Now it is from Xiangjiang Bank, so the pressure is much less. Now in this special period, Youde still hopes to minimize public opinion's dissatisfaction with the Governor's Palace and various government departments.

This time, the Lee Consortium invested such a huge amount of money in England, which also made Youde look forward to strengthening cooperation with the Li Consortium to pave the way for his own future political future.
