Chapter 680 HSBC Crisis (7K chapter, ask for monthly ticket subscription~)

  Feng Jingxi's mansion in Repulse Bay.

   "Uncle Feng, why can't the company talk about it, and why did you ask Ah Fa to call me home?"

  According to Feng Jingxi's appointment, Chu Huan came to Feng Jingxi's home on this day, and met Feng Jingxi who had been waiting for Chu Huan for a long time.

  The Three Musketeers of Sun Hung Kai can be called a legend in the commercial history of Xiangjiang.

Among the three, Guo Desheng is the oldest, Feng Jingxi is the second, and Li Zhaoji is the last. The company that the three of them co-founded in the early years was not Sun Hung Kai, but a company called Yongye, but the entire Yongye company, except for the three of them, was also There are five other shareholders, and Sha Tin Hotel is their first business in Yongye.

   Later, Yongye Company started its own real estate project from the old buildings. At that time, there were many old buildings in Xiangjiang to be demolished, and the old sites were easier to get.

  This kind of site is usually small in size, and big real estate companies dismiss it, but they buy it like a treasure. Their funds are suitable for use in small sites.

  Over the past few years, although Yongye has not experienced any miracles, he has taken steps one step at a time, and has never made any mistakes.

  However, in 1963, the three of them left Yongye and re-founded Sun Hung Kai Properties because of disagreements with the other five shareholders.

  The three have a clear division of labor in Sun Hung Kai. Guo Desheng and Li Zhaoji are in charge of real estate projects, and Feng Jingxi is in charge of finance and investment.

  However, when Sun Hung Kai gradually became large, the three parted ways. Feng Jingxi founded Sun Hung Kai Securities, and Li Zhaoji founded Henderson Land.

   Although the Three Musketeers of Sun Hung Kai were suspected by many people when they separated, they believed that they could share adversity, but they could not share wealth.

  But the performance of the three later broke such suspicions. Although the three separated, they still often cooperate and their relationship is better than before.

  Different from Guo Desheng and Li Zhaoji who always want to continue to develop the real estate industry, Feng Jingxi prefers the securities industry.

  In today’s Hong Kong, there are three big names in the securities industry who are recognized as the top three in the securities industry. They are Li Fuzhao from the Far East Club, Hu Wenhui from the Gold and Silver Club, and Feng Jingxi from Sun Hung Kai Securities.

   In terms of ability, Feng Jingxi did not lose to Guo Desheng and Li Zhaoji, but in terms of luck, Feng Jingxi was far behind his two old partners.

  Because of the uncertainty in the financial industry, Feng Jingxi encountered the stock market crash in 1973 and the liquidation wave in 1983. When Feng Jingxi was preparing to regain his glory in 1985, but when he was working in Vancouver, Canada, he died of cerebral hemorrhage at the age of 63!

  Feng Jingxi only left more than one billion in assets for his family, but the assets of the Guo family and the Li family have reached tens of billions of Hong Kong dollars.

  The gap cannot be simply stated in terms of ability.

   "Ah Huan, I invite you here this time because I want to ask your opinion on two things!" Feng Jingxi sat on the sofa, smiling and talking to Chu Huan.

  Chu Huan said: "Let's talk about Uncle Feng, the relationship between our two families is not polite."

  Feng Jingxi smiled more and more happily. If anyone in Xiangjiang is most familiar with Chu Huan's family history, then Feng Jingxi is none other than Feng Jingxi, although he doesn't know everything.

   At the beginning, Chu Huan started his first round of making money in the Hong Kong stock market at Sun Hung Kai Securities!

   Now Chu Huan has grown into a giant in Xiangjiang. Although the Feng family has also developed compared to that time, compared with Chu Huan's development speed, it is definitely not enough.

  Up to now, Chu Huan is still able to maintain a humble attitude in front of him, which is very useful to Feng Jingxi.

   "Haha, since you said that, A Huan, I'll cut to the chase!"

Feng Jingxi adjusted his sitting posture, smiled and said to Chu Huan: "A Huan, I know that you have always wanted to enter the local banking industry in Hong Kong, and I, you also understand that the ultimate goal has always been to reorganize Sun Hung Kai Securities." For Sun Hung Kai Bank, I think we can deepen our cooperation!"

This is why Feng Jingxi invited Chu Huan here today. In the Bank of East Asia battle, although Chu Huan became the largest shareholder of the Bank of East Asia, everyone in the Xiangjiang business community knew that Chu Huan could not actually win this time. After all, everyone We all know that Chu Huan's real purpose is to completely acquire and privatize Bank of East Asia.

But with the end of the Bank of East Asia battle, Chu Huan's actions give the impression that he has not really exerted his strength. After all, according to many people's guesses, according to Chu Huan's power, it is not impossible to acquire the Bank of East Asia. In the end, Chu Huan suddenly died down, which made many people wonder whether Chu Huan's desire to enter the local banking industry in Xiangjiang is not so strong?

Of course, as one of the Xiangjiang businessmen who knew Chu Huan best, Feng Jingxi didn’t think so. In Feng Jingxi’s view, what Chu Huan did at that time was just because he realized that it was not the best time to completely acquire Bank of East Asia, so Finally chose to give up and wait for a better opportunity.

Because Feng Jingxi understands that Chu Huan has always been very optimistic about the development of his hometown. Since he is optimistic about the development of his hometown, he must want to enter the financial industry of his hometown. However, due to the particularity of Alder Commercial Bank, the possibility of entering the financial industry of his hometown is very small. , so Chu Huan must have a Hong Kong local bank as support in his hands.

   "Uncle Feng, you mean that Sun Hung Kai's reorganization of the bank has been approved by the Hong Kong government?" Chu Huan looked at Feng Jingxi with some surprise.

   You must know that Sun Hung Kai Securities did not apply for a license from the Hong Kong government until 1982 when it reorganized the bank. Now Feng Jingxi told himself that he obviously wanted to invite himself to join his Sun Hung Kai Bank.

  Feng Jingxi shook his head helplessly and said: "There is no such condition yet, but I plan to establish Sun Hung Kai Insurance next year!"

  Securities, banking, insurance, and the three major businesses of the banking industry. Although Feng Jingxi has not yet applied for a bank license, he has already started to set up a bank.

   This is the same reason why Chu Huan acquired Volkswagen International Investment before Alder Commercial Bank entered Xiangjiang.

   "So that's the case!" Chu Huan nodded slightly.

Feng Jingxi said confidently: "But I believe that sooner or later, Sun Hung Kai Securities will be reorganized into Sun Hung Kai Bank. I asked Ah Fa to invite you here this time, just to ask if you are interested in becoming a shareholder of my Sun Hung Kai Insurance." ?”

   This is the embodiment of Chu Huan's influence in Xiangjiang.

   There is an old saying in Huaguo, that is, how can you allow others to snore on the side of the couch. Under normal circumstances, Feng Jingxi should not allow outsiders to invest in his company, but Chu Huan is different.

First of all, the relationship between the two of them is extraordinary, it can be said to be very deep, and Feng Jingxi can be convinced to the greatest extent that although Chu Huan has become a shareholder of his company, he will not have any impact on the management rights of the Feng family in the company. Threats, not only do not pose threats, but are also likely to be a powerful boost.

  Secondly, Chu Huan has enough influence and financial resources in Xiangjiang. If such a powerful foreign aid joins in, it can be said that it will add an important bargaining chip to the future development of Sun Hung Kai Insurance.

  Chu Huan thought about it for a while, but he didn't have any objections to this matter.

Although in another time and space, Feng Jingxi's Sun Hung Kai developed quite a lot of ups and downs, but this time is different from another time and space. If there is his own participation and reminder, Feng Jingxi's Sun Hung Kai should go in a different direction, so just simply think about it later , Chu Huan agreed to Feng Jingxi's invitation.

   "There is no problem on my side, Feng Bo, you can come up with a specific charter!"

   Seeing that Chu Huan agreed to his invitation, Feng Jingxi was also very happy, and said with a smile: "No problem, I will ask Ah Fa to send the specific regulations to your company tomorrow!"

   Being able to prepare the charter so quickly, it can be seen that Feng Jingxi has no doubts about Chu Huan's joining.

   "Yes, I will ask Wen Mingzhang to contact your people about this matter!" Chu Huan said with a smile.

   For such companies that have invested in shares, Chu Huan handed them over to Huaren Real Estate, which is in charge of Wen Mingzhang!

  The largest controlling party of Huaren Real Estate is the Chu Family Trust Fund, which means that the shares and dividends of these companies will be used by Chu Huan to support people in the future.

   After chatting about the business, Chu Huan, Feng Jingxi, Feng Yongfa, Feng Yongxiang and his son had dinner together, and Chu Huan left here and returned to No. 12, Mount Kellie Road.

.

   Time flies, and it is the beginning of 1979 in a blink of an eye!

  After entering 1979, if you want to say who is the most depressed in the Xiangjiang business community, it must be Bao Yugang, Niu Bijian, and HSBC!

Last year, with the mysterious Japanese funds withdrawing from the Xiangjiang stock market, this gave Bao Yugang and Niu Bijian a chance to breathe. Both sides thought that this matter was over, and everyone could slowly follow their own The established plan was carried out.

   As a result, when Wharf's stock price fell by HK$50 per share, the mysterious Japanese funds entered Hong Kong's stock market again and began to sweep up Wharf's stock.

   In such a situation, Bao Yugang and Jardine, who hadn't recovered from the shock, immediately raised funds again and entered the stock market to fight each other.

   As a result, when Wharf's stock price exceeded HK$70 per share, the other party faded away like a tide again.

   It was very uncomfortable for Bao Yugang, Niu Bijian and others to be at the same level.

  Chu Huan, who had just finished distributing the New Year's red envelopes, returned to No. 12 Mount Kellett Road. At this time, Cao Yunshang's belly was already swollen, but her body shape did not change much.

   "This is the legendary figure with only a fat belly but not a fat body?" Chu Huan said with a smile while supporting Cao Yunshang.

  Cao Yunshang said: "The doctor at home has seen it, the little guy is very healthy inside, you don't have to worry."

  Chu Huan smiled softly and said, "There is nothing to worry about. I believe you will all be healthy."

   "Hmm!" Cao Yunshang also smiled sweetly.

   The two walked into the room, the house was also very lively, the children were about to go on vacation, Zhong Xiaoqing was leading Chen Yalu, and Sumitomo Ryoko was stacking Lego.

After a year of operation, Youth Toys finally reached an agreement with the founder of the Lego family to buy all the shares of Lego in the hands of the other party at a price that was more than double the market price. family.

  It seems that Chu Huan's industry has not made much progress this year, but in fact, Chu Huan's global business layout is expanding and developing in an orderly manner.

Others were playing mahjong and chatting. Ever since Cao Yunshang became pregnant, Mrs. Wu brought Chen Xincheng's family and Chen Shuli to move to No. 12 Mount Kellett Road. Although Chu Duanqing and Zhong Xiaoqing didn't Move here, but also come every day.

   There is also Zhou Meiqi, who has also moved to No. 12 Mount Kellett Road, which has made this place very lively for more than half a year.

  When everyone saw Chu Huan coming back, they just greeted him habitually, and then they did what they should do.

  Chu Huan was already used to such a situation.

   "By the way, Bao Yu just called this morning, and he probably couldn't handle it anymore. This time, he called to borrow money!"

  Cao Yunshang preached to Chu Huan.

Because of Chu Huan's capital entry in Japan, the Wharf acquisition battle has undergone earth-shaking changes. Originally in another time and space, at this time, Bao has increased his holdings of Wharf shares to 30%, but now Bao's holdings of Wharf shares It is only about 25%.

  In addition, it was only at this time that Jardine discovered Bao's actions, and then began a more than one-year battle with Bao for the right to operate Wharf.

  At the same time, in another time and space, the stock price of Wharf at this time is only 60 Hong Kong dollars per share.

  All of this has changed because of the appearance of Chu Huan.

   It is precisely because of Chu Huan's existence that both Jardine Matheson and Bao's have invested more cash into Wharf, so that neither of them wants to withdraw at this time.

  Simply speaking, because of the entry of Chu Huan's Japanese capital, it directly led to a real fire between the two of them, and they couldn't stop it at all.

  Okay, before you clearly said that you would not increase your holdings of Wharf stocks, but you have been secretly buying Wharf stocks. Isn’t this playing us like monkeys?

  This is what Jardine Niubijian thinks now.

  Fighting the street, who is clamoring for fair competition every day, but you are actually increasing your holdings of Wharf stocks behind our backs.

how?

  Want to surpass our Bao family?

   This is what Bao Yu just thought.

   "What? Did HSBC not provide them with loans?" Chu Huan asked Cao Yunshang with some doubts.

  Before this, both Jardine Matheson and Pao were actually relying on HSBC's loan to compete with Chu Huan for the shares of Wharf.

"It is estimated that HSBC also discovered it. This is a bottomless pit. As the stock price of Wharf is getting higher and higher, the acquisition cost is naturally increasing. The most important thing is that even now, no one can know. Who will win in the end, HSBC is worried that this situation will drag down their funds, and has given an ultimatum to both parties, and will no longer provide funds to them in this matter!"

  Cao Yunshang explained to Chu Huan.

  Chu Huan was stunned for a moment, and said, "No, even though the two parties have already spent a lot, the money shouldn't hurt HSBC, right?"

  Cao Yunshang shook his head and said: "I don't know too well, but come to think of it, HSBC should have more important things to do, otherwise they wouldn't have given up their previous plans in just half a year!"

HSBC's original plan was to let them compete with each other, and then provide support on their own side. In the end, no matter who gets Wharf from Pao or Jardine, HSBC can rely on these two loans to increase its influence and income, but now When HSBC stopped this matter before the dust settled, there might be some things that Chu Huan could not think of.

.

   "Does Pao and Jardine have any opinion on our HSBC decision?"

  At the headquarters of HSBC, Roy Bentley and Shen Bi were also discussing this matter.

Shen Bi replied: "Both of them naturally don't want us HSBC to withdraw at this time. If we look at it according to the previous rules, maybe after the new year, the mysterious Japanese funds will enter the Xiangjiang stock market again. Competing with them for shares in Wharf, judging from the current share price of Wharf, both of them need a lot of cash to deal with the other party's acquisition!"

  Roy Bentley said helplessly: "What is the origin of the Japanese funds? Half a year has passed, and there is still no clue."

Before this, neither Roy Bentley nor Shen Bi actually paid much attention to the Japanese funds, but now after going through such repetitions, it is impossible for them not to care .

   What a **** stirrer!

Originally, without the intervention of that sum of money, the investment of both of them would not have reached this level at all. Now, no matter who wants to really obtain the management right of Wharf, at least they have to spend more than the previous budget. Come out with three times the funds!

And this is only calculated based on the current stock price of Wharf, but whether it is Roy Bentley, Shen Biyi or those securities analysts in Xiangjiang, they all understand that according to the current rhythm, the stock price of Wharf will break through 100. The Hong Kong dollar is simply a matter of time.

   You must know that the stock price of Wharf was only HK$21 per share under normal circumstances last year, but now it is going to break through HK$100 per share, which is basically a five-fold increase!

  In fact, in another time and space, when Bao Yugang was in the final battle with Jardine Matheson, he directly quoted a price of 105 Hong Kong dollars per share to buy Wharf's stock.

   This happened without Chu Huan's participation.

  Now with Chu Huan's participation, Chu Huan will definitely push the price even higher secretly.

   "Now I actually want to know how many shares of Wharf have been bought by the Japanese funds!" Shen Bi said curiously.

Roy Bentley said: "Looking at the attitude of the other party's acquisition of Wharf, it should be inferior to Pao and Jardine, but the current behavior of the other party, I don't think it looks like it is buying Wharf, on the contrary. Are you deliberately pushing up Wharf's stock price?"

  Shen Bi's eyes lit up suddenly. Before that, his focus had been on Jardine and Bao. In fact, he didn't pay much attention to the Japanese funds.

  But when I heard Roy Bentley say this at this time, I suddenly felt that I seemed to have missed something before.

   "If the other party is deliberately pushing up the stock price of Wharf, then why is the other party doing so?" This is something Shen Bi can't figure out.

  Roy Bentley said: "That's why I want to know who the other party is. If I know the other party's identity, then I can guess his purpose."

Shen Bi nodded, agreeing with Roy Bentley's thoughts, and analyzed: "Now the other party has two possibilities. The first possibility is that the other party is not a person, but a group, which is similar to a stock blackmailing and speculation group. They do this The purpose is to raise the stock price of Wharf, and then when the stock price of Wharf reaches a peak value they think, they will take advantage of the trend to sell the shares of Wharf in their hands, so as to obtain super high profits.

And judging from the current development situation, this possibility is the greatest. Have you noticed that when the other party bought Wharf stock these two times, they stopped immediately when the stock price began to rise rapidly, and then waited until the package was completed? Both Shi and Jardine stopped. When Wharf's stock price fell back, they shot again and continued to raise the stock price. This is very similar to stock sniping! "

  Roy Bentley nodded, and then asked: "What about the other possibility?"

Shen Bi's complexion changed slightly, and he said, "The other possibility is a bit scary. I think the purpose of the other party may not be in Wharf at all, but in other places. They only have one purpose in doing this, and that is to seek more Big goal!"

   Roy Bentley's complexion changed drastically after being analyzed by Shen Bi, and he said: "The bigger goal, could it be Jardine, Hong Kong Land, or Universal, HSBC?"

   There are not many companies in Xiangjiang whose asset value exceeds that of Wharf, and the only direct participants in this matter are Pao and Jardine, and they have to add HSBC.

Shen Bi shook his head and said: "It's not very clear, but one thing is certain, this matter has **** the funds of both of them, so I suggest to you, another reason to stop borrowing from both of them, we We can no longer blindly invest money in this matter."

  Roy Bentley nodded, and said with lingering fear: "If your second inference is true, then who is the other party, and what kind of terrorist plan does he have?"

  Shen Bi suddenly asked Roy Bentley: "Do you think this matter has anything to do with Chu Huan?"

  Roy Bentley gave a bang, feeling his back was getting chills. If this matter has something to do with Chu Huan, then many things can actually be explained.

   First of all, the funds came from Japan. Everyone in Xiangjiang knows that Chu Huan has invested a lot of business in Japan, and the Japanese Jiaku is also a very important part of the entire Jiaku business empire.

  The mysterious funds came from Japan again!

Secondly, Roy Bentley knows that Chu Huan has been thinking about Jardine. If this time Jardine puts all the funds in Wharf, then if Chu Huan suddenly makes a move on Jardine, when the time comes, Jardine He Ke doesn't have much ability to resist.

   "Could it really be him?" Roy Bentley instinctively didn't want to admit it.

Shen Bi said: "I'm just speculating. As far as I know, Bao Yugang has already contacted Chu Huan after receiving our notice. If Chu Huan lends money to Bao Yugang, then this The fact that the person behind the incident is Chu Huan is much smaller!"

  Roy Bentley was stunned: "Shouldn't it be bigger? Chu Huan lent money to Bao Yugang, so that Bao Yugang can have more funds to mobilize Jardine's funds?"

Shen Bi said: "Although there is such a possibility, if Chu Huan does this, it will be equivalent to hitting his right hand with his left hand. The investment in this is not small, and I heard that at the end of last year, youth toys Just spent a large sum of money to buy Lego toys in Denmark, can Chu Huan have so much cash in his hands now?

You must know that although his industry is spread all over the world, we all know that the expansion is fast and the funds required are also large. In addition to the plans announced by Chu Huan before, which one does not require a large amount of cash? He can really raise money. To so much money? "

  Roy Bentley said helplessly: "It's a pity that the intersection between Chu Huan's armory and our HSBC is getting less and less, otherwise we can infer an approximate amount of cash in Chu Huan's hands!"

   Shen Bi also nodded helplessly.

While the two were still suspicious of Chu Huan, Roy Bentley's secretary suddenly walked in and said softly, "I just received news from England that Japan's Sakura Bank suddenly proposed an acquisition plan to the Royal Bank of Scotland! "

  Roy Bentley and Shen Bi's expressions suddenly changed.

   "When did it happen?" Shen Bi asked loudly.

   "Just now!" The secretary replied.

  Roy Bentley and Shen Bi looked at each other, and they both saw the meaning in each other's eyes.

   "It's not Chu Huan, nor is it trying to make a fortune in Wharf stock, but the other party's goal is our HSBC Bank?" Shen Bi said in horror.

  These two things are irrelevant, but at this moment Shen Bi treats them as one thing.

  The reason for this is actually related to HSBC's current development strategy.

As I have said before, HSBC has always wanted to complete the development of their global strategic plan for the triangle stool. Completing the acquisition of Ocean Milan Bank in North America is part of their strategic plan for the triangle stool, and the other part is to complete the acquisition of the Royal Bank of Scotland. acquisition.

Originally, this matter would not happen until 1981, but HSBC received the help of Chu Huan during the Shaya period and completed the acquisition of Ocean Milan Bank ahead of schedule, which also allowed them to set their sights on Europe in advance. banking industry.

  The Royal Bank of Scotland is their target. Last year, HSBC had formally submitted a report on the possibility of acquisition to the Royal Bank of Scotland.

   It's just that the Royal Bank of Scotland has not responded, but no matter what, this acquisition will definitely involve a lot of cash.

   Even HSBC has to weigh this expenditure carefully, so this is another reason why HSBC decided to withdraw from supporting Jardine and Pao.

  Now Japan's Sakura Bank suddenly wants to acquire the Royal Bank of Scotland, so the whole situation will become clear!
