Island Tycoon

Chapter 371 Planning a Bank
"Everyone, please sit down."

There were sixteen tables in 4×4 in the banquet hall, and Ye Jingcheng, Lu Yanjun and others were assigned to the third table in the second row.I don't know if the allocation of seats is related to personal influence. Anyway, the people who can sit in the first row are all contemporary tycoons.

Including Li Jiacheng is also assigned to the first row, although the position is only the southernmost table.I don't know if he has already shown this potential, or because he is familiar with several HSBC directors on the same table.

In addition, Ye Jingcheng also saw an unexpected figure appear, that is, Shao Yifu who was sitting at the second table. At this time, he was chatting and laughing happily with the older generation Huo Yingnan, Zheng Yuping and other tycoons.

Similarly, when Ye Jingcheng stared at Shao Yifu, the latter seemed to be equipped with a radio wave sensor. When he turned around and saw Ye Jingcheng sitting in the second row, Shao Yifu also showed a bit of surprise, and the two nodded to each other. Then continue the conversation with the person at the same table.

And the people who sat at the same table with Ye Jingcheng were not only Lu Yanjun, Luo Yingshi and Li Xianbin, there were also a few people who sat at the table legs, and the other party came earlier than Ye Jingcheng and others.

When these people met Ye Jingcheng and others, the youngest among them stood up and introduced himself.Li Guobao, one of the members of the "Li Family", is not Li Jiacheng's Li, but an old and prominent family known as the Four Great Families. He is currently working in the family-run Bank of East Asia.

Li Guobao is obviously familiar with Lu Yanjun and others, or they are all people in the same social circle, and the two parties have more or less contacts in normal times.So his self-introduction was completely aimed at Ye Jingcheng, who was relatively new and close in age.

For one thing, although having one more friend may not necessarily lead to one more way out, at least one more network can be expanded.Secondly, the age of the two is relatively similar. Compared with other elderly people in their 60s and [-]s, they will undoubtedly have more topics to talk about.

"I don't know what to call this gentleman?" After shaking hands one by one, Li Guobao said to Ye Jingcheng.

"Ye Jingcheng." Ye Jingcheng replied.

Li Guobao's index finger trembled up and down, and finally recalled: "Oh! I remember, Ye Sheng is making movies, right?"

"Probably." Ye Jingcheng didn't deny it either.However, the few other people who were not familiar with Ye Jingcheng were obviously less interested in getting acquainted with him when they heard that Ye Jingcheng was an actor in their eyes.

"I heard that, Ye Sheng, you are also involved in futures and foreign exchange. If you need a large amount of capital turnover, Bank of East Asia is very happy to cooperate with you." Li Guobao's words are not polite. He is currently in charge of the business of Bank of East Asia. , Naturally want to fight for more door-to-door business.

Regarding Ye Jingcheng's loan of hundreds of millions from HSBC earlier, as a colleague, he naturally knew a little bit about it.If you take over this fund, it will also help you to be valued by the family.

After all, in the bank's lending business, the most feared thing is not that the debtor refuses to pay back the money, but that he cannot find a customer to borrow money.Because the bank is originally a bank, it will not be short of money if it lacks anything.

After Li Guobao introduced himself, several other people also introduced them one by one through his mouth. It turned out that these people are all engaged in banking-related industries. Among them, a man who is about the same age as Li Guobao is Liao Liewen, the second-generation "rudder master" of Liao Chongxing Bank. , and the other two are: Ye Zhuangling of the Dominican Finance Company, and Zhang Mingtian of the Overseas Trust Bank.

Except for Overseas Trust Bank, Ye Jingcheng has no knowledge of Liao Chongxing Bank and Dominican Finance Company.And the reason why he knew about overseas trusts was that he heard the information by chance in later generations.

Because of the upcoming economic recession at the end of 81, and because of the future of Hong Kong Island, the overseas trust bank has been disturbed for several years, and the bank has continued to make false accounts to cover up the facade.In the end, the problem became bigger and bigger like a snowball, and was even forced to take over by the government. After some rectification, it was sold to other companies.

Isn't the bank the industry that Ye Jingcheng needs most right now?Compared to the acquaintance with Luo Yingshi just now, Ye Jingcheng's desire to acquire a five-star Fugui hotel is far less attractive than acquiring a bank.As long as you have your own bank, the funds will go directly from the book in the future, and the confidentiality and operability will naturally be greatly improved.

Zhang Mingtian, who was sitting opposite Ye Jingcheng, had an indifferent attitude towards such a junior, unaware that the other party was already trying to plan his bank.

After some courtesies with Li Guobao and others, the two groups continued to communicate in a small circle. Lu Yanjun said: "Ye Sheng, the bidding will start soon. Luo Sheng and I's preliminary plan is No. 2 official land, and Xianbin also Considering joining, I wonder if you are interested in joining us?"

"Official Land No. 2? To be honest, I'm not that optimistic." Ye Jingcheng shook his head, still holding the previous opinion.In his opinion, the decision made by Lu Yanjun and others was entirely for the sake of losing money.

"Then which one do you like?" Luo Yingshi asked like a nouveau riche, smoking a big cigar.

After pondering for a few seconds, Ye Jingcheng said, "No. 3 and No. 4 can think about it."

"The land on No. 3 is really good, but the area is not big enough, otherwise we can open an extra Fugui Hotel." Luo Yingshi said proudly.

Land No. [-] covers an area of ​​[-] square feet and is located in the busy area of ​​Yau Ma Tei. It is most suitable for building star hotels, followed by shopping centers or large casinos.However, due to the limited land area, the hotel to be built can only be rated as a four-star hotel at most.Poor doesn't mean bad, but for people like Ye Jingcheng and Luo Yingshi who pursue perfection, they will feel that they are inferior.

"As for No. 4, isn't there a bad land there?" From Luo Yingshi's slight frown, he knew that he was not optimistic about this land.

"Every bad land has its value, otherwise, how could the Zhengfu come up with it for bidding." Ye Jingcheng didn't explain too much.

Official Land No. 4 covers an area of ​​more than 12 square feet, which is the largest piece of land in this tender.Located in the Kwun Tong area of ​​Hong Kong Island, which is relatively underdeveloped, it can only be counted as a piece of industrial land at present, but this investment also has a lot of risks.

Because the road conditions in this area are so bad, even a road has not been built, and there are large areas of yellow mud roads with potholes.Buying this piece of land is not as simple as building a factory in an industrial zone. Road traffic is the first problem to be dealt with.

The second is to solve the problems of food, clothing, housing and transportation for employees, because there is not enough material delivery here.

However, Ye Jingcheng also knew that this piece of land was undoubtedly the best place to develop an industrial zone.Because the largest industrial zone in Kowloon will be located in Kwun Tong in the future, and because of the government's policy of "relocating factories to the north", the government will invest heavily in the transportation of Kwun Tong. At that time, there will be minibuses going directly to Kowloon, and you can transfer To the New Territories, there is also an undersea tunnel to Sheung Wan.

Thinking of this, Ye Jingcheng subconsciously looked at Li Jiacheng. He thought that Li Jiacheng had a great chance to participate in the bidding for this land.With his contacts and funds, it takes about two years to develop this industrial zone.

The question Ye Jingcheng has to consider now is whether he should cooperate with Li Jiacheng or reach a tacit agreement with mutual support.After all, the land in Kwun Tong does have huge potential value, but it is not the biggest goal of his arrival this time, and from Li Jiacheng's perspective, he is not sure whether the other party has any ideas about his goal.
