MTL - The Most Powerful Tycoon Reborn In Xiangjiang-v2 Chapter 819 Final Negotiations (Happy New Years Eve!)

  1982, September 24th!

  The citizens of Xiangjiang feel that they have never been so entangled as they are today.

They want to go to the bank where they deposit their money to withdraw money, go to the securities company to sell their stocks, and want to stay at home and watch the news from Mrs. Thatcher on TV. At the same time, they also want to go to the Chinese Bank to watch Let's see what kind of explanation Jiaku will give you today.

   It can be said that every choice here is related to their future life, which makes them no choice.

   On the other side, the Chinese Xingjiaku also had a dignified atmosphere.

  Roy Bentley came to the Chinatown this morning as agreed, but when he walked into Chu Huan's office, he was stunned.

Huo Tsar and his son of Huo Xingyetang, Guo Desheng and his son of Sun Hung Kai, Zheng Yutong and his son of New World, Li Jiacheng of Changshi, Hu Yingxiang of Hopewell Real Estate, Kadoorie and his son of Grand Hotel Group, Swire and his son of Swire, Tang Jiqian and his son of Nanhai Textile, Universal Pao Yugang Weng-in-law of Shipping Wharf

   Almost all the prominent business figures in Xiangjiang gathered here.

   And Chu Huan was chatting with them at this time.

  After seeing Roy Bentley, Chu Huan got up and said to everyone: "Excuse me, everyone, I still have some things to discuss with Roy Taipan, please wait for us a moment!"

   After finishing speaking, Chu Huan took Roy Bentley out of the office and came to a small conference room!

   "Looking at the situation, is Chairman Chu ready to make a move?"

   Roy Bentley, who was sitting on a chair, smiled and preached to Chu Huan.

Chu Huan didn't hide anything, nodded and said: "The situation in Xiangjiang is a bit too serious during this time. If we don't take action, Xiangjiang's economy will go back for at least 20 years. No one wants to see such a situation. of!"

  Roy Bentley nodded, and didn't get entangled in this matter. After all, before coming, Roy Bentley had already guessed that Chu Huan was definitely going to make a move.

"Mr. Chu, let's talk about the matter between us. I really want to know what you want to get from our HSBC this time, Mr. Chu. As long as your request is not too much, Mr. Chu, I can do it right now." Agree to Director Chu's request!"

   This is why Roy Bentley came to Chu Huan.

  He wanted to know what Chu Huan wanted to get from their HSBC after planning for so long.

Chu Huan sat there, asked Feng Jing to serve Roy Bentley a cup of coffee, and then said: "Since Roy, you got straight to the point, I won't hide it anymore. We, Jiaku Bank, hope to acquire All the shares of Hang Seng Bank in the hands of HSBC!"

  Hang Seng Bank, Xiangjiang is now the largest local bank in Hong Kong besides HSBC.

There were so many layouts before, in addition to letting Jiaku acquire a number of local banks in Xiangjiang at this time, completing Jiaku’s shareholding in many listed companies in Xiangjiang, and formally establishing Jiaku’s absolute dominance in Xiangjiang, it is also in the hands of HSBC. Hang Seng Bank is here!

"This is impossible!"

Roy Bentley objected immediately. Although before coming, Roy Bentley had already thought that Chu Huan would definitely want the lion to open his mouth this time, but Roy Bentley still didn't expect that Chu Huan's The appetite is so big, I want Hang Seng Bank.

  If it is said that after Alder Commercial Bank acquired Standard Chartered Bank, Jiaku Bank Group is already comparable to HSBC, then if it loses Hang Seng Bank.

  Under the circumstances of this ebb and flow, HSBC will completely lose its dominance in the Hong Kong banking industry.

"Mr. Chu, you should put forward some practical proposals. The significance of Hang Seng Bank to HSBC is that I don't say it, but you should know it. And even if I agree to your request, HSBC's board of directors will not Will agree!"

  Roy Bentley preached to Chu Huan seriously.

Chu Huan said with a smile: "Master Roy, how do you know that the board of directors of HSBC will not agree? The current situation of Xiangjiang also has a lot of losses for them. Let alone Mr. Bao Yugang, they have completed It has only been a few years since the acquisition of Wharf. Not only has the stock price of Wharf not reached the peak market value at the time of their acquisition, but even under the influence of the Xiangjiang stock market crash this time, their losses have been very heavy.

  If Hang Seng Bank can be sold, there will always be some financial support for these directors of HSBC! "

Roy Bentley shook his head firmly and said: "It's impossible, Director Chu, you and I don't need to test each other on this matter. The stock market crash in Xiangjiang this time did cause heavy losses to many people, but for Bao's For a family of this size, these losses are still within their acceptable range.

  The directors of HSBC are mostly in the situation of Pao.

  The income that Hang Seng brings every year is enough to make everyone attach great importance to this bank. It is impossible for them to agree to HSBC giving up Hang Seng Bank! "

  Chu Huan chuckled and said, "That's because they don't know the predicament HSBC is facing now. If they knew the predicament HSBC is facing, I think they would agree to HSBC's sale of Hang Seng Bank at that time!"

  Roy Bentley laughed loudly and said, "HSBC Bank has been the leader in Xiangjiang's banking industry for many years, how could there be a crisis? Even if Director Chu wants to scare people, he must have a more plausible reason, right?"

  Chu Huan didn't speak, just quietly watched Roy Bentley laughing over there, and then looked at

  Laughing Roy Bentley saw Chu Huan's expression, and his expression began to become awkward, mainly because he was embarrassed by Chu Huan's unresponsive expression!

   "Master Roy, since you have already said that you are talking to us openly and honestly, why bother to say these things at this time.

  The situation of HSBC is not known to others, so don’t I know?

  Carrian’s HK$5 billion loan has not yet been settled. Even HSBC, as Carrian’s first creditor, enjoys the advantage of getting the loan first, but the problem is to get it.

  According to Carrian's current situation, it will be at least four or five years before we want to have definite news on this matter. Can HSBC bear the blank period of four or five years?

Secondly, that is the matter of HSBC's acquisition of Midland Bank. I think Roy, you should have made a decision now, that is, you will never give up Midland Bank. If this is the case, then you must complete the disguised Relocation, in the current situation of Xiangjiang, if HSBC relocates in a disguised form, the crisis of trust will be even greater than the crisis caused by the entire Xiangjiang now, right?

  Roy, you came to discuss this matter with me personally today, isn’t it because you feel such a crisis?

To put it bluntly, these two things are combined with the current situation of Xiangjiang. As long as the media of Xiangjiang adds fuel to the flames of these two things at this time, then the reputation of HSBC accumulated in Xiangjiang for decades may be destroyed. Once it's over.

I know, you must be talking about HSBC's advantages in North America and Europe, but don't forget, Roy, no matter how HSBC develops in the future, at least at the moment, Xiangjiang is the headquarters of HSBC. If there is any problem, then HSBC's foundation in Xiangjiang may not be replaced by our Jiaku within 20 years! "

   Roy Bentley sat there with a cold face, no longer proud of himself just now.

"We at HSBC can give up the acquisition of Midland Bank, and even use this incident to ask London for help. If they know the problems that HSBC is currently encountering in Xiangjiang, they will not let us change our name in disguise. After that, the merger of Midland Bank can be completed!

At that time, HSBC holds Ocean Milan Bank in North America, Midland Bank in Europe, and Hongkong has Hang Seng Bank. At that time, Xiangjiang people will only believe in the strength of our HSBC, and the impact of the carrian incident will naturally It doesn't matter anymore! "

  Chu Huan looked calm, and said: "Of course this is a good idea, but there is a prerequisite for this approach to take shape, and the prerequisite for this matter is that the London side can win this negotiation."

   Speaking of this, Chu Huan paused for a moment before continuing to speak: "Roy, I can tell you responsibly that in the negotiations on Xiangjiang, it is impossible for London to win.

It’s not that I’m alarmist, but I’m telling you a fact. For my hometown, the Xiangjiang issue is far more important than London. There are too many political factors in it. Even if I don’t say it, Roy You will guess it yourself, so since Xiangjiang's problem cannot achieve the results you expected, then you HSBC will definitely become a bargaining chip for London.

At that time, there are only two ways for HSBC, either to abandon the merger and acquisition of Milatlan Bank, and in the days to come, on the one hand, it must seek a new European bank for acquisition, and on the other hand, it must face the A The double suppression of Bank of China and Bank of China.

   What is the result, I think you should have discussed it internally, right? "

   That's why Chu Huan agreed to meet Roy Bentley at this time.

  The general trend and the details are now on Chu Huan's side. As long as Roy Bentley wants HSBC to maintain its current advantage, then they actually don't have much choice.

   "Simply speaking, Roy, you HSBC are now using the shares of Hang Seng Bank to buy time, to buy a time that allows you to develop steadily. Without this time, HSBC will have a difficult life in the future!"

  Roy Bentley looked at Chu Huan with an uncertain expression, and suddenly said: "If you say this, those people outside already know what you mean, President Chu?"

Chu Huan shook his head and said: "No, the matter of trading shares in Hang Seng Bank is a transaction between us and HSBC, and we will not bring them along. The main reason why those friends came here today is actually to cooperate with us. Jiaku's bailout, but now that Roy has come first, we naturally have to discuss the matter of Hang Seng Bank first!"

  Roy Bentley said: "Let me tell you about Mr. Chu's plan, please listen to Mr. Chu and see if you mean it!"

  Chu Huan raised his forehead and said, "Please speak!"

"If HSBC does not agree with Mr. Chu's transaction of Hang Seng Bank, then this afternoon, TVB, Li's TV, and the newspapers in Xiangjiang will definitely put the main direction of their reports between HSBC and Carrian. In this matter of the financial relationship between them?

At the same time, if, as Mr. Chu said, London lost to the capital in the negotiation on the future of Xiangjiang, then at that time, in order to put pressure on the capital, the London side would definitely let us HSBC complete the disguised relocation. Only then can we allow us to acquire Midland Bank.

I think Mr. Chu and your people must be watching this matter closely in London. As long as the matter is completed, you will definitely order the media on Xiangjiang to report on the relationship between HSBC and Carrian. report on this matter.

  I have already thought about the title, HSBC cannot withstand the pressure from Xiangjiang, and frequently acquires overseas banks in order to transfer assets

At that time, Director Chu has already completed the bailout of Xiangjiang. Of course, with all kinds of bad news from HSBC at that time, Xiangjiang's stock market will definitely continue to be hit, and you, Mr. Chu, can do this at this time. Buy companies that are on the verge of bankruptcy in Xiangjiang due to the stock market crash at a cheaper price.

  With such an operation, at that time, most of the listed companies in Xiangjiang will be owned by Jiaku, which means that at that time, everyone in Xiangjiang will actually be working for Jiaku.

   After Jiaku has such a status, it can completely form a siege against HSBC and force those companies to cut off their cooperation with HSBC and Hang Seng.

  Although the economy of Xiangjiang will go backwards, but Mr. Chu, your Jiaku has really sat down. Xiangjiang is both Jiaku and Jiaku is Xiangjiang.

   I don’t know if I’m right? "

   At the end, Roy Bentley looked at Chu Huan with a complicated expression. At this moment, he already understood that he had no other choice.

  Break your wrists to survive, this idiom has appeared on HSBC for the first time in decades.

Chu Huan smiled, and said: "I hope Xiangjiang's future will get better and better, but the premise is that Jiaku also needs to get better and better. I don't have such a big heart, and I hate myself to help others, so I like Luo As you said just now, Xiangjiang is Jiaku, and Jiaku is Xiangjiang!"

  Roy Bentley pondered for a long time, and said: "I need Director Chu to come up with more bargaining chips. Although cash is good, we at HSBC place more emphasis on future development.

Mr. Chu, your plan is good, but you may have forgotten one thing. After all, HSBC is HSBC. If it really breaks the boat in the end, Mr. Chu, your plan will take at least ten years to complete, so we need you, Mr. Chu. Take out the chips that make our HSBC heart beat! "

  Chu Huan laughed. Speaking of now, Roy Bentley has actually agreed with him.

"Brazil and Argentina have 15% of the shares of Alder Commercial Bank. This is my bottom line. No bargaining is allowed. If HSBC can agree, HSBC will open its own market in South America. By then HSBC will be a global banking group."

  Chu Huan has never underestimated HSBC, otherwise he would not have set up such a big game to design HSBC to trade Hang Seng Bank.

  Although Alder Commercial Bank has completed its layout in South America, Alder Commercial Bank still has no way to compare with HSBC in terms of influence in the world banking industry.

  If HSBC can take a stake in the South American branch of Alder Commercial Bank, Alder Commercial Bank can walk on two legs, one is its own banking system, and the other is the banking system of HSBC Bank.

  Roy Bentley nodded, and finally nodded to Chu Huan's current proposal.

   "Okay, I agree with you, Director Chu, but I only agree with this matter now, and I still need to convince the board of directors of HSBC, so I need you, Director Chu, to give me some time!

  In addition, the behavior of Bank A investing in the rescue of the market must count us as one of HSBC! "

  Although HSBC will be squeezed by Jiaku Bank in the future Xiangjiang market, this does not mean that HSBC will easily give up the Xiangjiang market, at least not all can be reduced according to the time planned by Chu Huan.

  If Chu Huan's plan is to seize more of the HSBC market within 5 years, then Roy Bentley hopes that this time can be extended to 10 years. This is their success.

Chu Huan naturally understood what Roy Bentley meant, but Chu Huan actually agreed with Roy Bentley's proposal. A skinny camel is bigger than a horse. With Jiaku taking the lead, HSBC joined. In fact, it can bring more confidence to the citizens of Xiangjiang, and at the same time, it can give Chu Huan more protection.

   When facing inquiries from the British side, Chu Huan can also use HSBC to block it!

   "Three days, I can only give HSBC three days. If Roy can't give me a satisfactory answer after three days, then we can only go to war!"

  Roy Bentley also understood what Chu Huan meant. The longer this matter dragged on, the more beneficial it would be for him, so Chu Huan would definitely not give himself too much time!

   "I didn't expect that the Beijing side is negotiating, and our side is also negotiating. This time, HSBC lost to Jiaku. I don't know who will win and who will win in the capital?"

  Chu Huan looked at the time, and said: "It seems that there is still a while to negotiate over there, Roy, you can wait here until the negotiation over there is over, and then leave the Chinese Bank!"

"I think so too!"

.

  Chu Huan and Roy Bentley returned to Chu Huan's office together. Everyone in the office had different expressions when they saw the two coming back together.

As Chu Huan said, they didn't know the content of the negotiation between Chu Huan and Roy Bentley, but in their view, Chu Huan and Roy Bentley met at this time, and the discussion must be about Xiangjiang current economic problems.

"A Huan, in this situation, only the two of you can really save Xiangjiang's situation. Now there are more and more people outside the Chinese shop. Mr. Xu just came over and said that they are already several thousand or tens of thousands. If If I can't come up with a proper solution, I'm really worried about what will happen later!"

  After seeing Chu Huan, Guo Desheng spoke directly.

  The rest of the people also nodded, agreeing with Guo Desheng's proposal.

Although these people have more opportunities to invest overseas because of Chu Huan's existence, Xiangjiang is still their base camp. Cooperation, opportunities to open up overseas markets.

If Xiangjiang's economy collapses, it means that they have lost their own foundation and become rootless duckweed. Now everyone relies on their relationship with Chu Huan, and they can still cooperate well with Chu Huan, but what about the future? ?

  On the mall, there are no eternal enemies and friends, only eternal interests!

   They will not participate in such a bet!

  Chu Huan sat in his seat, and calmly said: "Everyone, after our research, we have decided to support the market with regard to the stock market crash and liquidation that occurred in Xiangjiang!"

  Hoo.

   Throughout the office, voices of relief came one after another. As long as Chu Huan is willing to take action, Xiangjiang's economy can basically recover.

   And they don't have to worry about it anymore.

Roy Bentley sat there, looking at the expressions of everyone in the office, feeling a little disappointed. In the past, only HSBC could enjoy such much-anticipated treatment, but now these people have already given up their expectations of HSBC. It's on Jiaku's body.

   "I have just discussed with Roy Taipan, and the other party is also willing to support our behavior of Jiaku. Now what I need is everyone's support.

  You all know the current situation in Xiangjiang. If it is just a simple bailout, we Jiaku can solve this matter by ourselves! "

When everyone heard what Chu Huan said, they once again showed shocked expressions. Although everyone said just now that only Jiaku can save Xiangjiang's economy at this time, everyone also knows that they want to save Xiangjiang's economy in this situation. At least Hundreds of billions of Hong Kong dollars will be invested.

   Now that Chu Huan actually said that Jiaku could solve it by himself, at this moment, these people really understood how much cash reserves Jiaku had stored.

   Shi Huaiya said at this time: "Chairman Chu means that you want us to cooperate with you, President Chu?"

  Just now Chu Huan also talked about the current situation of Xiangjiang, and made it clear that even without their existence, Jiaku can rely on its own strength to support Xiangjiang's economy.

   But they still called them here, and made it clear.

   Then this shows that Chu Huan needs everyone to do this with him.

  The reason, in fact, is to hold these people tightly around Jiaku, forming a solid protective cover, so that outsiders, that is, the London side, understands that Jiaku is not doing this alone!

Chu Huan nodded and said: "That's right, that's the idea. I know that you have suffered a lot of losses recently, but it is impossible to say that you don't have your own cash reserves. Now I have a suggestion here, and I want to see it." Are you interested in collaborating?"

  Chu Huan explained the true situation of everyone present in one sentence.

In this crisis in Hong Kong, the problems they encountered and the wealth they lost came from digital wealth, and their company's stock price was discounted in half. Although there were some real losses in engineering, But for them, this loss is acceptable.

  And these people have actually mobilized some funds and are going to enter the market in these two days.

  Of course, they entered the market not to prop up Xiangjiang's stock market, but to take advantage of the current low price of Xiangjiang's stock market to buy back their own company's shares at the cheapest price.

  After this matter is completed, they will wait slowly until Xiangjiang's stock market recovers, and then they will sell this part of the stock at a high price to profit from it.

   This is basically a common method used by wealthy families like Xiangjiang, and it is the same in the real estate industry.

When the real estate market in Xiangjiang is good, they will quickly build their own properties, and then sell them for a good reward. Then when the real estate industry in Xiangjiang is not doing well, they will buy back the land in Xiangjiang at a low price. used for storage.

  The several stock market crashes in Xiangjiang caused heavy losses to ordinary people in Xiangjiang, but it became the best opportunity for these super groups to make a fortune.

  However, Chu Huan didn't have any idea about such a situation, because Chu Huan knew very well that if he didn't have the memory of transcending this era, he would do the same!

  Simply speaking, everyone here is essentially a businessman!

   "A Huan, what do you mean?"

  Chu Huan first told everyone about the plan of Jiakuto City to everyone present. After listening to it, everyone opened their mouths again, surprised that Jiaku was able to come up with so much cash!

Then Chu Huan said: "In this market support plan, Jiaku will invest half of the funds into the stock market to boost Xiangjiang's stock market, and all you have to do is to cooperate with our Jiaku's statement and enter the market at the same time. Hold up the stock price of your own company, and don't worry about the rest of you!"

"no problem!"

Zheng Yutong said directly, in fact, even if Chu Huan didn't say anything about this matter, they would still do it, because once Chu Huan's funds enter the market, it will inevitably boost Xiangjiang's stock market, and they will no longer be able to use cheap money. The price got the shares of his own company.

   Even let Chu Huan's Jiaku take away more shares of their company.

  Everyone here, the second largest shareholder of many companies is Jiaku. If Jiaku is allowed to take more shares at this time, it will be difficult to say who owns this company by then!

   Huo Tsar said: "A Huan, our Huo Xingyetang is not listed, so let this fund be handed over to your bank for operation!"

  Chu Huan nodded and said, "Thank you, Uncle Huo!"

  The rest of the people also expressed their agreement with Chu Huan at this time.

   Then everyone began to discuss the specific details.

  After the general negotiation was concluded, Wu Shuhan walked in and said: "Boss, the four presidents of Xiangjiang Club, Far East Club, Gold and Silver Club, and Kowloon Club are here. I hope to meet you!"

   "It seems that they are almost unable to hold on!" Huo Tsar said.

  Chu Huan nodded and said, "Please come in!"

  Since they have already discussed everything, there is nothing wrong with telling Li Fuzhao and others about the matter at this time!

   "Look, Mrs. Thatcher is out!"

  At this moment, Li Jiacheng suddenly pointed to the TV screen and preached.

  Everyone immediately looked at the TV

  Wish all the food and clothing parents in Huangshan a happy New Year's Eve and a family reunion!
