Chapter 660 An open and honest exchange with Shen Bi (7K chapter, please subscribe~)

   Xiangjiang, Fanling, Royal Golf Course!

Sun hat, short-sleeved T-shirt, long sweatpants, Chu Huan was dressed in standard golf attire, bent slightly, holding the golf club tightly with both hands, and pushed the golf ball in front of him slightly forward. Fall firmly into the hole ahead.

   Clap clap!

  Shen Bi next to him applauded and said with a smile: "Mr. Chu's skills are really getting better and better!"

Chu Huan got up, handed the golf club in his hand to the caddy next to him, and said with a smile: "Mr. Shen is too polite, you let me be the one. The ball just now, according to Mr. Shen's golf skills, I think It must be able to get in!"

  Shen Bi said noncommittally: "It's because Director Chu's skills are improved, and our mentality will naturally be different. Playing depends on mentality!"

  Chu Huan nodded, and said with a smile: "President Shen said so, the feeling of victory in my heart is even stronger."

  The two walked forward slowly side by side, and the caddy and others fell behind.

   "This time Alder Commercial Bank entered Xiangjiang, does Director Chu want to formally enter Xiangjiang's financial industry?"

  Shen Bi and Chu Huan preached.

  Chu Huan did not deny this, saying: "We are just newbies in the banking industry, and we will need a lot of help from HSBC in the future."

   "Mr. Chu was joking. According to Mr. Chu's financial resources, Alder Commercial Bank Xiangjiang Branch will definitely become a banking group that cannot be ignored in Xiangjiang in the future. We at HSBC should hope that Mr. Chu will be more merciful in the future!"

  When Shen Bi said these words, Shen Bi didn't feel anything wrong at all, but such words would only appear normal when said in front of Chu Huan.

  If you say it in front of other people, it is estimated that the other party will be scared to death!

Chu Huan said: "Boss Shen said that, but he is bullying me for not knowing the banking industry. If that is the case, didn't I just find myself a bank to save money? Alder Commercial Bank Xiangjiang Branch wants For development, we still need the support of colleagues in Xiangjiang!"

   "Since Chairman Chu said so, then we at HSBC have a suggestion. I wonder if Chairman Chu is interested in listening to it?" Shen Bi said seriously.

  Chu Huan smiled, knowing that Shen Bi should talk about the key point next, Alder Commercial Bank Xiangjiang Branch has himself, so as long as he enters Xiangjiang, the target can only be HSBC.

  When I first started to improve in Xiangjiang, HSBC wanted to infiltrate Jiaku's business many times, but I didn't give them this opportunity at that time.

Now that Alder Commercial Bank entered Xiangjiang for the first time, Shen Bi couldn't wait to come to seek cooperation. To put it bluntly, he also took a fancy to himself. This is a new entry into Xiangjiang's financial industry, and he is not familiar with the situation in Xiangjiang's financial industry. He wants to join immediately Alder Commercial Bank a piece of the pie.

   "Mr. Shen, please speak, I will listen to you!"

Shen Bi said: "Mr. Chu naturally knows the influence of our HSBC in Xiangjiang. Now, as long as Mr. Chu allows HSBC to join the Xiangjiang branch of Alder Commercial Bank, then from now on, all walks of life in Xiangjiang will actually be controlled by us. HSBC and Mr. Chu's Jiaku are in their hands.

   It is not an exaggeration to say that the entire Xiangjiang business rules will be jointly formulated by both of us.

   This is a matter of mutual benefit, so we at HSBC very much hope to reach a real cooperation with Mr. Chu! "

Faced with Shen Bi's straightforwardness, Chu Huan was also a little surprised. To be honest, such a conversation should be based on intention rather than words, but at this time Shen Bi told the matter very straightforwardly like this .

   It can be seen that HSBC attaches great importance to being able to invest in Alder Commercial Bank.

  Looking at the clear golf course, Chu Huan also understood why Shen Bi invited him here to talk about this matter.

   In order to prevent the partition wall has ears!

  But Shen Bi's suggestion really moved Chu Huan a little.

   Now Chu Huan has many titles, such as the richest man in Xiangjiang, the number one person in Xiangjiang, etc., but Chu Huan understands that there is still a big gap between him and the real number one person in Xiangjiang.

  For example, in the current Xiangjiang, more than 70% of the enterprises are related to HSBC. Looking at HSBC, it seems that the annual profit is not even a fraction of Jiaku.

  But in fact, HSBC's influence in Xiangjiang is no worse than that of Jiaku. To a certain extent, HSBC is affecting the financial situation of Xiangjiang.

Moreover, although HSBC is registered in Hong Kong, it has always been considered as a local bank in Hong Kong, but in fact, no matter whether it is the senior management of HSBC, the senior management of the Hong Kong government, or the British side, everyone regards HSBC as their bank. Bank of England.

   Otherwise, HSBC would not be able to become the quasi-central bank of Xiangjiang!

After Shen Bi finished talking about his plan, he didn't say anything else. He was waiting for Chu Huan's answer. At the same time, Shen Bi was very confident about Chu Huan's answer. He believed that Chu Huan would definitely agree with him. suggested.

  In the past in Xiangjiang, there was a saying that it is not the Hong Kong government that controls Xiangjiang, but HSBC, Hong Kong government, Jardine, and Jockey Club. The rankings are not indistinguishable!

   But in fact, as long as Chu Huan agrees to cooperate with HSBC, the ranking will change. Jardine Matheson and Jockey Club will fall out of this ranking, leaving only Jiaku, HSBC, and the Hong Kong government!

   Moreover, the combination of Jiaku and HSBC may even lead to, Jiaku and HSBC jointly formulate the rules of Xiangjiang, and even the Hong Kong government depends on their faces.

   "There are a few things that I don't quite understand!" Chu Huan did not immediately agree to Shen Bi's request, but expressed his doubts.

  Shen Bi said: "Mr. Chu, please speak."

   "First of all, if we join hands, I think this situation is definitely not what the Hong Kong government wants to see. How should HSBC deal with this situation?"

   Chu Huan asked.

  Rights are a good thing. No one wants their rights to be divided, and the Hong Kong government is no exception. As one of the makers of the Hong Kong rules, HSBC and Jiaku will obviously take away their rights now.

  Chu Huan believed that the Hong Kong government would definitely not want to see this happen.

  Shen Bi pondered for a moment, and said: "Chu Dong, there are no outsiders here today, how about the two of us open our hearts and have a frank chat?"

  Chu Huan nodded, and did not object to Shen Bi's suggestion.

"To be honest, Mr. Chu, your development speed has exceeded everyone's expectations. In fact, whether it is our HSBC or the Hong Kong government, if they knew that Mr. Chu's development was so fast, they would definitely not have allowed Mr. Chu to leave you. It developed so easily."

  Shen Bi was indeed chatting with Chu Huan openly and honestly.

   And after Chu Huan listened to Shen Bi's words, a joke that he saw on the Internet in his previous life suddenly popped up in his mind.

  On a certain website, someone asked, why in the online novels, those big villains don’t directly kill the protagonist who has not yet developed, but wait for the protagonist to grow up before targeting the protagonist?

  The situation Chu Huan was facing at this time actually gave a perfect answer to this question!

When Chu Huan's Jiaku was just starting, in fact, whether it was HSBC or the Hong Kong government, they didn't pay attention to Chu Huan at the beginning. Huan's Jiaku is just a company with development potential.

  At this time, what they wanted was not to get rid of Chu Huan. After all, there was no conflict of interest between Chu Huan and them. They even wanted to support Chu Huan. After all, if Chu Huan developed, it would be good for them.

  But all the problems were wrong. As Shen Bi said just now, they didn't expect Chu Huan's development to be so fast.

  It was almost the time when they wanted to react, and the two sides were almost on the same starting line.

   At this time, it is impossible to suppress Chu Huan with thunder.

  Since it cannot be suppressed, it can only seek cooperation.

   "It's a pity that there is no regret medicine in this world!" Chu Huan said with a smile.

Shen Bi nodded, and continued to speak: "After the development of President Chu, I also thought about it many times at that time, to suppress Director Chu and let HSBC enter the first warehouse, but Director Chu's ability is admirable. As the old saying goes, my behavior at the time should be called stealing chickens and losing money.”

   After laughing at himself, Shen Bi continued to preach.

"Up to now, Chairman Chu has become a towering tree in Xiangjiang, with deep roots, and it is almost a joke to suppress Chairman Chu, so for us at HSBC, there is only one way left, and that is To cooperate with Mr. Chu, only cooperation is a win-win situation for both of us.

  Of course, the situation you just mentioned, Mr. Chu, will definitely happen. The Hong Kong government absolutely does not want us to cooperate so closely.

At the same time, I believe that the second question for Mr. Chu should be, although we have reached a cooperation, but Xiangjiang is so big, and our HSBC and Mr. Chu have such a large warehouse, even if we cooperate, it will definitely be successful. There is a lot of competition, how should we HSBC deal with it? "

  Chu Huan nodded, and said to Shen Bi: "Boss Shen is right, my second question is indeed like this!"

  Shen Bi said: "I think these two questions can be put together to answer for Mr. Chu. I think that in the future, there will be both competition and cooperation between our HSBC and Mr. Chu's Jiaku.

  As for the relationship with the Hong Kong government, to be honest, the relationship between them and Mr. Chu is actually the same, with competition and cooperation.

  Since this is the case, then between the two of us in the future, we will compete when it is time to compete, and cooperate when it is time to cooperate.

We will see the outcome in the business field, but in private, I still hope to play more golf with you, President Chu. After all, you are the richest man in Hong Kong now, and I am just a wage earner, and I will leave HSBC one day in the future ! "

  After Chu Huan finished listening, a smile appeared on his face, and the smile slowly began to brighten, and then Chu Huan couldn't help laughing.

   "Mr. Shen, to be honest, I misunderstood you at the beginning, but now that you can tell such a thing so frankly, Mr. Shen, I really feel that I underestimated you before!"

   Shen Bi!

  Every Hong Kong language traveler will inevitably write about the person, and he is also the most important figure in the commercial history of Hong Kong.

  Before that, Chu Huan used Roy Bentley to kick Shen Bi out of HSBC, and then Shen Bi returned to his position like an unbeatable Xiaoqiang.

  Now he has said the relationship between him and HSBC and the Hong Kong government so straightforwardly, but it still doesn’t make people angry. It can be said that the current Shen Bi is even more difficult to deal with than the previous Shen Bi!

Chu Huan couldn't help but suspect that maybe one day in the future, Shen Bi would be able to do something to force the palace, and Roy Bentley, who became the top class of HSBC by relying on external force, might really not be Shen Bi's opponent up.

   "So, Chairman Chu agreed to my request for cooperation?" Shen Bi said with a smile.

   "I'm sorry, but I can't agree to your request, Mr. Shen!" After laughing, Chu Huan also bluntly rejected Shen Bi.

  The smile on Shen Bi's face disappeared, and he looked at Chu Huan seriously, and asked, "Director Chu, I really don't understand why you reject this plan that meets both needs?"

  Chu Huan shook his finger, and said seriously: "This is not a plan for both ends, but for HSBC, it is a plan for both ends.

  Since Mr. Shen said it bluntly just now, let me say it bluntly now. "

  Shen Bi didn't get angry, but looked at Chu Huan seriously, and said, "Please speak, Director Chu."

  Chu Huan said: "First of all, Mr. Shen, the matter you proposed to buy shares in Alder Commercial Bank seems to be a win-win situation, but in fact, for our Jiaku, this matter is not a win-win situation.

Mr. Shen mentioned just now that if Jiaku cooperates with HSBC, the two parties can become the rule-makers of the Xiangjiang business community. Yes, Jiaku's demand for Xiangjiang is actually not as high as HSBC.

Jiaku can choose to leave Xiangjiang, but HSBC cannot leave Xiangjiang, because without Xiangjiang, HSBC is a duckweed without roots. I believe Mr. Shen must have investigated the situation of Jiaku overseas. To put it bluntly, Jiaku Can move to any place in the world at any time.

However, it will not bring too much impact on the development of Jiaku. Compared with HSBC, it will not. In North America, your roots are not as deep as Xiangjiang's.

  Based on the fact that we are both parties, that is to say, you HSBC are more looking forward to cooperating with Jiaku, because you can find the most beneficial way for your own development by reformulating the business rules of Xiangjiang.

   And what did our library get?

It is nothing more than cultivating a stronger opponent. After all, the relationship between us has cooperation and competition, but in what Mr. Shen said just now, he did not say whether the two of us are mostly cooperating or competing. Since Mr. Shen did not Speaking, then I boldly speculate that there must be more competition.

And according to the current size of HSBC and Jiaku in Xiangjiang, even if we don't let HSBC join Alder Commercial Bank, HSBC still can't refuse to cooperate with us in other places. In terms of channels, a bank's influence on him is very limited.

  Even if Jiaku is in Xiangjiang and HSBC is the bank of Xiangjiang, the situation is the same. I don’t know if Mr. Shen is right? "

  Shen Bi fell into silence. He didn't expect that Chu Huan would still choose not to cooperate with HSBC after he offered such a tempting offer, and he would see this matter so thoroughly.

  As Chu Huan said, in the current situation in Xiangjiang, HSBC needs Jiaku even more, but Jiaku can seek more partners.

"Mr. Chu, that's not what you said. HSBC's help to Bank A is not limited to business. If HSBC cooperates with Bank A, then HSBC will become a buffer between Bank A and the Hong Kong government. As for Mr. Chu, your business in Xiangjiang will naturally be much less troublesome.

   Didn't you think of this, Mr. Chu? "

  Although Chu Huan has already rejected Shen Bi, Shen Bi still doesn't want to give up on this matter, because the cooperation with Jiaku is really important.

Chu Huan waved his hand and said: "Of course I thought of this, but such a condition is not enough for Alder Commercial Bank to pay its own shares, and Mr. Shen, you and I have been in contact for so long, don't you understand me? ?"

  Shen Bi looked at Chu Huan suspiciously, not knowing what Chu Huan meant.

With a relaxed smile on his face, Chu Huan said: "The thing I dislike the most is being threatened by others. I let them see some of Jiaku's abilities because of what Xia Dingji wanted to do in Luo Bishi. If they still want to do that in the future, then I don’t mind letting the Hong Kong government see the capabilities of the entire Jiaku, I believe that such a situation is not something the Hong Kong government can afford!”

  Shen Bi looked at Chu Huan in surprise, never expecting that Chu Huan would say these words to himself.

   "Mr. Chu, everyone is doing business to seek money and power. If you say this, don't you think about what the consequences will be if you do that?"

"What kind of consequences will it be?" Chu Huan looked at Shen Bi with ease, and said, "It is nothing more than the collapse of Hong Kong's economy, the reputation of the Hong Kong government has fallen to the bottom, and the international community's evaluation of England will also enter a period of low ebb." , and at most I wasted some money."

   "Is it just money?" Shen Bi asked Chu Huan.

  Chu Huan understood Shen Bi's meaning, and then said with a smile: "Mr. Shen, you don't really think 007 is real, do you?"

  Shen Bi stopped talking.

  It's better to smash the jade than to make it whole!

  At this time, Shen Bi suddenly thought of the choices Chu Huan had made many times in response to the crisis. There were indeed many times when Chu Huan made incomprehensible choices.

In terms of the incident last year, it can be said that Chu Huan slapped Luo Bishi, Xia Dingji and others hard in the face. At that time, Shen Bi thought that although Chu Huan had won, he also thought that Chu Huan was still too young to do so. It's a bit too much, this is to completely push yourself to the opposite of the Hong Kong government.

  But at this time, after listening to Chu Huan's words, Shen Bi suddenly understood that it's not that Chu Huan didn't understand the consequences of what he did, it's just that Chu Huan's character is like this.

  If you come to discuss with me in a good voice, like now, even if Chu Huan doesn't cooperate with you, he will explain the matter clearly, but if you want to overpower others.

  Then Chu Huan will choose the most radical method to deal with you. What frustrates Shen Bi the most is that Chu Huan's strength at this time is completely enough for him to do this.

"Mr. Shen, since we have set the tone for this conversation just now, let me tell you bluntly now, even if Alder Commercial Bank does not allow HSBC to take a stake, there will definitely be cooperation between us, and there will be cooperation." Competition, if this is the case, then why should I let HSBC take a stake in Alder Commercial Bank?"

  Looking at Chu Huan, Shen Bi couldn't help asking, "Is there no other way?"

  This inquiry was just Shen Bi's subconscious inquiry, but he didn't expect to get an unexpected answer.

   "Of course there is a way!" Chu Huan said unexpectedly.

  Shen Bi cheered up again, and asked Chu Huan seriously, "I don't know what Director Chu can do?"

   "I want HSBC's shares in Jardine. If HSBC agrees to sell Jardine's shares to Jiaku, then I agree to let HSBC take a stake in Alder Commercial Bank!"

  Chu Huan explained his own method.

   "It's impossible!" Shen Bi immediately rejected Chu Huan's request. Shen Bi knew that Chu Huan had always wanted Yihe, but he didn't expect that Chu Huan would raise this matter at this time.

  After rejecting Chu Huan, Shen Bi seriously said to Chu Huan: "Director Chu, do you know what Yihe means to Xiangjiang and Yinglun?

  After Jiaku acquired Hehe International-Wheelock, Jardine Matheson and Swire became the only two banners of British foreign firms in Xiangjiang.

Your Jiaku wants to acquire Jardine. Neither the Hong Kong government nor England will agree to this matter. At that time, you will definitely attract a blow that exceeds the business rules. At that time, it may really be a dead end. It's time! "

Chu Huan shook his head and said, "Mr. Shen is exaggerating. The fish will not die, and the net will not be broken. At most, both parties will suffer. That's why I used this condition to discuss with Mr. Shen. If there is HSBC's help, I want Jiaku to buy it." Jardine's difficulties will be much smaller."

  Shen Bi could not accept Chu Huan's suggestion.

If HSBC helps Chu Huan's Jiaku acquire Jardine, then HSBC will become a traitor in the Hong Kong government and in England, and this will also cause HSBC to lose many preferential policies. Such consequences are not acceptable to HSBC !

  At this time, Shen Bi felt the shackles and constraints on his body.

  If only from a commercial point of view, helping Chu Huan's Jiaku complete the acquisition of Jardine Matheson, for HSBC, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages.

  Because this will be the most sensational acquisition in Xiangjiang’s commercial history, and HSBC can also use this acquisition to formally form a cooperative alliance with Chu Huan’s Jiaku.

   At that time, as Shen Bi said before, the business rules of Xiangjiang will be jointly formulated by Jiaku and HSBC from now on.

  However, at their level, they can no longer simply consider commercial elements, but also take political elements into consideration.

   Agreeing to Chu Huan's request, from now on, HSBC can only choose to side with Chu Huan, which can be regarded as completely giving up the favorable political factors behind it.

  Rejecting Chu Huan's request is at best to maintain HSBC's current status quo, and can still choose to cooperate with Chu Huan in other fields, while maintaining its own favorable political conditions.

   This is a well-chosen question!

  Unless the political environment of Xiangjiang changes one day, this will change HSBC's current decision.

  But no matter what, the current Shen Bi would not agree to Chu Huan's request for cooperation.

   "It seems that there is no way to reach a more in-depth cooperation with President Chu!" In the end, Shen Bi said helplessly.

Chu Huan was not disappointed about this either, he just said with a smile: "It's okay, there is no way to cooperate on these two matters, we can still cooperate on other matters, just as Mr. Shen said, everyone will have competition in the future There is cooperation!"

  Shen Bi nodded and said: "No matter what, the conversation with Mr. Chu today was very pleasant. I hope that we can have such exchanges many times in the future!"

  Chu Huan smiled: "As long as Mr. Shen doesn't think like before, there is no problem on my side!"

Shen Bi laughed, not embarrassed by Chu Huan's teasing, and said with a smile: "I can't guarantee this, after all, Chairman Chu is too powerful now, but I can guarantee that from now on, my actions will be limited to business Online competition will never involve factors other than business!"

  Chu Huan also smiled and said, "That's good!"

   After the two explained the matter clearly, they began their second contest on golf.

   This time, Shen Bi didn't hold back anything, and finally defeated Chu Huan!

   Chu Huan didn't care about such a result, and he didn't have a systematic father. For Shen Bi, who had been immersed in this sport for decades, a small defeat was already a victory.

   "Thank you Chairman Chu for the treat this time!"

  When Chu Huan and Shen Bi left the court, Shen Bi spoke with a smile.

  Chu Huan said with a smile: "If you have the opportunity to play basketball, then I will ask Mr. Shen to spit out everything you won today!"

   Shen Bi nodded seriously, and said: "I understand, from now on I will never play basketball with President Chu!"

  After speaking, Shen Bi left first with a smile on his face, while Chu Huan also shook his head with a smile, got in his car and left.

   "How was your chat with Shen Bi?"

   When Chu Huan returned to No. 12 Mount Kellie Road, Cao Yunshang asked Chu Huan.

"The negotiation failed. Although the other party was honest, there are still many things that have not been revealed. However, we have at least reached a consensus, that is, in future competitions, neither side will use factors other than business. !"

  Chu Huan preached to Cao Yunshang.

   "Can you believe Shen Bi's words?" Cao Yunshang couldn't help but continued to ask.

Chu Huan laughed, and said: "Of course I can't believe it 100%, this is just a mutual agreement that everyone seems to agree on, but if it involves their own huge interests, it will definitely be the Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea Each shows their abilities!"

  Cao Yunshang nodded and said with a smile, "I thought you would be fooled by Shen Bi!"

  Chu Huan shook his head and laughed, "How is that possible!"

   Correct the typo first and then correct it~Thank you everyone~
