Legend of Xiangjiang Tycoon - Chapter 470
After a period of silence in the private room, Jeff Hunter slowly calmed down and returned to his wise appearance.
“Mr. Li, you said that for a long time, you also want to cooperate with our Standard Chartered Bank, otherwise why would we sit together?” Jeff Hunter said with a smile.
“Of course, this is also the main reason why we can sit and talk together while standing.” Li Zhiwen laughed.
Li Zhiwen never thought that Jeff Hunt could be crippled all of a sudden. After all, Jeff Hunter had been in the financial world for many years, so he naturally had his own judgment.
“So what is Mr. Li’s hole card?” Jeff Hunter asked with a smile, then took a sip from the goblet in front of him.
At the same time, he asked Christine Taylor next to him to warm up: “Kristin, do you feel cold? Hong Kong cools a lot these days, you should keep warm.”
“Jeff, I’m fine!” Kristen Taylor said with a smile.
“That’s good!” Jeff Hunter said over Kristen Taylor’s hand, and then turned his gaze to Li Zhiwen.
This is a private party. It was not a formal banquet, so everyone was very open.
“Mr. Jeff, we, Yulong Bank, have the funds to swallow Hang Lung Bank, but Standard Chartered Bank seems to have insufficient funds.”
“After all, as far as I know, the bad debt ratio of Standard Chartered Bank is also very high. If it takes over the bad debts of Hang Lung Bank, Standard Chartered will also be frantically wandering on the edge of the crisis.” Zhao Hezhuo said.
Zhao Hezhuo saw that Li Zhiwen didn’t mean to speak, but asked Li Lingyu like Jeff Hunter. He knew that at this time, he needed someone to break the ice.
“President Zhao is right, but is Yulong Bank’s deposit and loan situation good?” Jeff Hunter asked with a smile.
In Jeff Hunt’s idea, you don’t have to talk about deposits and loans, and you don’t need to talk about bad debts. Everyone is the same, and it’s not just our Standard Chartered Bank.
“Sorry, Mr. Jeff, our Yulong Bank is different from other banks in Hong Kong. Our Yulong Bank’s deposit and loan status is very good, and there is no bad debt problem, so I let you down.” Zhao Hezhuo said with a smile.
“shit, this is impossible!” Jeff Hunter said with wide eyes in disbelief.
“Mr. Jeff, this is the case. Under the foresight of our Mr. Li, our Yulong Bank is very strict in reviewing loans. Many companies cannot get money from our Yulong Bank, and our loans are given priority to creditworthiness. Good companies, such as Kylin Media Group, such as Universal Group, and Hong Kong Electric Group.”
“Mr. Jeff is also in finance, so he naturally knows the repayment ability of these companies.” Zhao Hezhuo smiled.
After listening to Zhao Hezhuo, Jeff Hunter understood that Li Zhiwen played the bank as a company, not a financial institution.
The companies Zhao Hezhuo mentioned before are all companies with very abundant liquidity. More importantly, these companies are Li Zhiwen’s own companies.
So once Yulong Bank has a run, Yulong Bank can quickly put out funds to complete the risk elimination.
But Standard Chartered Bank is different. Standard Chartered Bank lends too many loans to real estate companies. Even Standard Chartered Bank is the largest creditor of Jardine Matheson.
Due to previous excessive expansion, Jardine Matheson has borrowed a lot of funds. Standard Chartered Bank alone has as much as HK$3 billion.
At this time, Hong Kong does not know where to go, and everyone is at a loss as to the future of Hong Kong.
Jihe Foreign Trade Co., Ltd. expanded the fastest, so naturally it fell the hardest now.
But Jardine Matheson is a British-owned company, and Standard Chartered Bank is a British-funded foreign company, so Standard Chartered Bank is not good at collecting debts from Jardine Matheson.
Furthermore, even if Standard Chartered Bank is going to collect debts, Jardine Matheson has to be rich, so there is an unsolvable problem at this time.
At this time, Li Zhiwen continued to make up for the knife: “Did Mr. Jeff pay attention to HSBC letting the Carrian Group borrow loans with assets as collateral?”
“Of course, what’s there to say, many people know.” Jeff Hunter wondered.
“Mr. Jeff doesn’t think there is anything wrong?”
“This is not like HSBC’s style. After all, during the Hutchison Whampoa crisis, HSBC got the company shares in the hands of Qi Dezun, not the assets.”
“As far as I know, Standard Chartered Bank has a loan of more than nine hundred million Hong Kong dollars in the Carrian Group.”
“Mr. Jeff doesn’t think about getting the loan back now, right?” Li Zhiwen asked Jeff Hunter with a smile.
After , instead of waiting for Jeff Hunt’s answer, he stroked Li Lingyu’s hair with his hand. After all, Li Lingyu’s hair was a bit messy.
And Li Lingyu felt that Li Zhiwen was a particularly wise and careful man at this time.
Of course, if Carina Lau is here, it would be another evaluation.
For Liu Jialing, Li Zhiwen is a rough demon, not only that, Li Zhiwen still tramples on the dignity of others all the time, saying that Li Zhiwen is careful, Liu Jialing finds it particularly funny.
However, he said that Jeff Hunter had a cold sweat when he heard Li Zhiwen’s words. Now that Jeff Hunter is resuming HSBC’s actions not long ago, he feels more and more shuddering.
“Mr. Li thinks the Carning Group is going to go bankrupt?” Jeff Hunter asked.
“I didn’t say that, but HSBC promised to sell me the Golden Gate Tower next week.” Li Zhiwen clicked and said.
Jeff Hunter is not a fool, so he can naturally hear Li Zhiwen’s overtones.
You must know that Carrian Group announced in August 1980 that it had sold the Golden Gate Tower to Baishunning Group for HK$1.68 billion.
But now Li Zhiwen says that HSBC will sell the Golden Gate Tower to him next week, the information revealed here is too great.
Either the Golden Gate Building has never been sold, or the Golden Gate Building has been acquired by Carrian Group again.
Of course, the two results are obvious. According to Chen Songqing’s temperament, Chen Songqing will definitely announce such a big thing, and then the shares of the Carrian Group will naturally rise.
But this did not happen, so obviously, the Golden Gate Building was not sold at all.
The impact of this is that the Carrian Group is a castle in the sky, which can only be seen and cannot be touched, and naturally the loans of Standard Chartered Bank are in vain.
For so many years, Christine Taylor and Jeff Hunter and his wife naturally understood the truth. At this time, Christine Taylor’s gaze at Li Zhiwen was shuddering. This young man was so terrifying that he defeated Jie all at once. Hunter.
At this time, Jeff Hunt was trembling all over, he knew what would happen like this, he would definitely not be able to sit down as an executive at Standard Chartered.
And when Zhao Hezhuo heard Li Zhiwen’s words, he was also really taken aback.
Li Zhiwen had never allowed Yulong Bank to lend loans to Carrian Group.
Zhao Hezhuo thought it was Chen Songqing who had offended Li Zhiwen in some way, but now it is the Carrian Group that is a big pit, and he couldn’t help but admire Li Zhiwen’s five bodies.
“Mr. Jeff, I can give Standard Chartered the same treatment as HSBC.”
“As long as Standard Chartered Bank can take over some of the Carrian Group properties, then I can buy them down.”
“Only in terms of price, we also ask Standard Chartered Bank to give some concessions. After all, you know Mr. Jeff.” Li Zhiwen said with a smile.
If Standard Chartered wants to stabilize the situation, it must sell these properties at a low price. After all, Standard Chartered urgently needs liquidity support.
And now in Hong Kong, the Hutchison Whampoa of the four major foreign firms is in the hands of Li Zhiwen, and the other three major foreign firms are too busy to take care of themselves, where they have the money to buy these industries.
At the same time, even if the three major foreign firms are capable, but the future of Hong Kong is unclear, they will not invest rashly, otherwise they are very likely to lose their money.
As for the Chinese capital, Li Zhiwen is a well-deserved king, and only Li Zhiwen has the ability to swallow these assets.
Bao Yugang underneath passed the battle of Wharf and was badly injured. He was hiding on the side and licking the wound.
Fok Yingdong was capable, but was suppressed by the Hong Kong government and prohibited him from entering the real estate industry.
People like Li Zhaoji and Guo Desheng have been affected by the crisis and have no time to take care of themselves.
And Li Jiacheng and Lin Baixin have been dismissed by Li Zhiwen, but they don’t have this ability.
As for foreign investment, the future of Hong Kong is unclear, and the British are reluctant to place bets. Naturally, other foreign capitals are even more so.
So after all, only Li Zhiwen has this ability.
Wanting to understand this, Jeff Hunter decided not to obscure, but asked: “Mr. Li, I don’t know what cooperation method you want.”
“Mr. Jeff, that’s right. In my plan, our two banks will win Hang Lung Bank together. After we win Hang Lung Bank, the banking license will remain unchanged, just like HSBC does to Hang Seng Bank.”
“To operate Hang Lung Bank independently, we hire professional managers to manage it, and neither of us will interfere in the management of Hang Lung Bank. What do you think of this.” Li Zhiwen said.
“Mr. Li’s method is good, but how to distribute the shares.” Jeff Hunter said.
Jeff Hunter had the same idea before, and wanted to turn Hang Lung Bank into Hang Seng Bank of Standard Chartered Bank.
But Jeff Hunter knows it’s difficult, after all, his family knows his own affairs.
Standard Chartered Bank is far behind HSBC, and Standard Chartered currently does not have so much funds to win Hang Lung Bank.
While Li Zhiwen is so strong, Jeff Hunter thought Li Zhiwen was like dismembering Hang Lung Bank.
To do this is completely a waste of decades of Hang Lung Bank’s efforts, and it is the worst method.
So Jeff Hunt’s idea was to keep Hang Lung Bank from the beginning.
And now Li Zhiwen’s ideas coincide with Jeff Hunt’s ideas, only that it has changed from a wholly-owned Standard Chartered Bank to a joint venture.
“We, Yulong Bank, hold 55 percent of Hang Lung Bank’s shares, and Standard Chartered Bank holds 45 percent of the shares. No one in management can intervene, and the board of directors is held regularly. If there is any dissatisfaction, we will negotiate and resolve it.” Li Zhiwen said.
“Mr. Li has a really big appetite. Does Mr. Li think that Yulong Bank can take up 55% of the shares?”
“Even if Mr. Li’s previous conditions are added, it is far from enough.”
“I think so, we Standard Chartered Bank accounted for 55% of the shares, and Yulong Bank accounted for 45% of the shares.” Jeff Hunter said.
Although Li Zhiwen said that no one is involved in management, Jeff Hunter understands that more shares are the benefit of more shares.
And in Jeff Hunter’s view, a bank as small as Yulong Bank can account for 45% of the shares because it gives Li Zhiwen face.
“Mr. Jeff, I also bought some shares in Hang Lung Bank’s borrowing company.” Li Zhiwen said.
Jeff Hunter looked incredulous. After today’s dinner, Jeff Hunter has been in shock, so he is very dissatisfied.
But Li Zhiwen’s sturdiness shocked Jeff Hunter.
If Li Zhiwen said at the takeover meeting tomorrow that Yulong Bank can solve the problem of Hang Lung Bank’s bad debts, then the Government of Hong Kong will consider Yulong Bank’s problem.
But if Li Zhiwen did not get what he expected, then this bad debt still exists and the problem has not been solved.
“In that case, let me give it a step. Standard Chartered Bank holds 51% of the shares, and Yulong Bank holds 49% of the shares. This is also the last bottom line for our Standard Chartered Bank.” Jeff Hunter said.
“In my opinion, Yulong Bank holds 51% of the shares, and Standard Chartered Bank holds 49% of the shares. This is my bottom line.” Li Zhiwen said.
Li Zhiwen and Jeff Hunter are both unwilling to give in or give up control, things seem to be deadlocked.
At this time, Kristen Taylor was obsessed with his words and knew that the matter was a bit stalemate, so he rounded up and said: “You men, you don’t care about our women at all when talking about things, you see, I and my sister are hungry.”
“Let’s fill up our stomachs first~www.mtlnovel.com~ When you guys go and talk, I will go shopping with this sister.”
“Ms. Christine, this is my fault. I didn’t make a good landlord friendship. Let’s eat first, put our differences aside, and talk about it later.” Li Zhiwen said.
“That’s right!” said Christine Taylor.
So I stopped talking about things at the dinner table, and continued to chat, and started arguing.
After your meeting, Christine Taylor picked up a chicken leg and put it on Jeff Hunt’s plate, and said, “Jeff, the lotus leaf chicken in this hotel is very good. The essence is in the chicken leg. You can try it. ”
“Thank you, ma’am,” Jeff Hunt said.
Then Christine Taylor said to Li Lingyu: “Miss Li, there is a chicken leg over there. You can try it for Mr. Li.”
Li Lingyu heard Christine Taylor’s words and hurriedly clamped the chicken legs to Li Zhiwen.
“In fact, these chicken drumsticks are all the same. Why do we need to divide them into different sizes? Isn’t it good for everyone to have a chicken drumstick?” Christine Taylor continued.
Li Zhiwen understands what Kristen Taylor meant. It is nothing more than a chicken drumstick. Everyone does not have to insist on 51%.
And Jeff Hunter obviously understood what Kristen Taylor said, so he looked up at Li Zhiwen and saw that Li Zhiwen was dealing with the drumsticks, and he did not speak, and dealt with the drumsticks.
Obviously, in the silent confrontation just now, both Jeff Hunter and Li Zhiwen agreed with Kristen Taylor, half and half.
