The mainland only established four special economic zones in mid-to-late August, and it has only been about 50 days since the completion of the special economic zones, and the decision to open up the financial industry has been adopted.

Although Wang Ping said that foreign banks can only do business in the four special zones, and the scope of business only involves foreign exchange and financial business, that is not trivial!

Just before Xia Yu's rebirth, it had been almost 40 years since the reopening, and the mainland had not lifted the entry threshold for liberalizing the financial industry!

Moreover, according to the original history of the previous life, it was not until 1981 that the mainland made this decision, and only one foreign bank was allowed to enter, that is, Nanyang Commercial Bank.

The second batch had to wait until 1985!

What ordinary people don't know is that Nanyang Commercial Bank is actually controlled by the mainland!

Nanyang Commercial Bank is the second largest bank in the Bank of China system after the Bank of China in Xiangjiang, the founder Mr. Zhuang has been dedicated to the country after graduating from Peking University in 1934, and came to Xiangjiang in 1949 with an order to establish Nanyang Commercial Bank, and finally donated all his net worth to the country.

So Xia Yu didn't expect that the mainland would really agree to open up!

And it was seven or eight months ahead of schedule!

If the three quotas are given to one Nanyang Commercial Bank, there are still two, and now Wang Ping also took the initiative to tell him about it, he must have been instructed, and he, a pure foreign businessman, can occupy at least one quota!

For the current mainland, the steps are not ordinary, and only one person can make a decision!

"Looks like what I said in my last private chat worked!"

A thought flashed through Xia Yu's mind, remembering that conversation that lasted for several hours at night, and his mood instantly improved.

He was not only glad that his bank was able to enter the mainland ahead of schedule, but he was even more happy that the wind instigated by the wings of his butterfly had affected the general trend of a country!

This is a huge encouragement for his goal of accelerating the rise of the motherland and making the motherland take fewer detours!

Since he can influence the mainland's open banking industry, he will naturally be able to influence other fields, the Huamei honeymoon period has only just started a year, and there are still nine years to go, and there are too many places for him to operate!

"Wait until Jiuding Bank goes in, the mainland will definitely hope that Jiuding Bank will assume the responsibility of foreign exchange acceptance, and the more foreign exchange will be exchanged, the greater the favor owed by the mainland, and with a large amount of soft paper, you can start the plan for the rise of China!"

A thought flashed through Xia Yu's mind.

Shaking his head slightly, Xia Yu asked Wang Ping: "President Wang, when will the application be allowed, and what is the specific process?"

Wang Ping shook his head with a wry smile and said: "Mr. Xia, you think highly of me, I don't know the specific audit standards, but the news I got will be announced to the public in the near future, and I will definitely notify you as soon as possible!"

Xia Yu nodded in understanding and thanked: "Then I'll trouble you!"

"...... as it should be"

......

After talking with Wang Ping, Xia Yu found Wang Gengwu again, talked about the Jiuding University Foundation in detail, and made a phone call to Wang Qi on the spot, asking Wang Qi to connect with Wang Gengwu and send a special person to be responsible for the investment of special funds.

After dealing with the affairs of the university, Xia Yu sent his younger siblings home, and then went to the headquarters of Jiuding Bank on Hong Kong Island to find Liu Tianci, who was busy.

After briefly inquiring about the operation of Jiuding Bank and other subordinate banks, Xia Yu told him the news he had just received from Wang Ping in the afternoon.

Liu Tianci's expression instantly became solemn, and he said to Xia Yu: "Chairman, I understand what you mean, since President Wang told you about this, then there must be a place for us, and I will think about candidates from now on." ”

"As for the review process, it shouldn't be a big problem. ”

Xia Yu bowed slightly and said: "Well, this is also what I came to tell you, you have to choose the personnel well, first of all, you must have high emotional intelligence, and you must be proficient in Chinese, and this time the four special zones are admitted at the same time, then you must set up four branches at one time, adding up to at least fifty people." ”

Liu Tianci also took this into account, so there was also a certain amount of pressure in his heart.

Jiuding Bank's personnel training system has been established, so the allocation of personnel has kept up with the expansion, but it is too early to say that there is a surplus of talent.

Moreover, in Xiangjiang, most people speak vernacular and English, and not everyone can speak Chinese, plus this requirement, the screening is difficult!

But the opportunity is rare, no matter how difficult it is, he has to do his best to do it well, and if it's a big deal, he will poach people from other banks!

After a few methods flashed in his mind, Liu Tianci did not say to Xia Yu, he was silent for a moment, and asked Xia Yu with some curiosity: "Chairman, this time the mainland will release the first batch of three places, one place for us, so who might the remaining two give to?"

Xia Yu thought for a while and said: "According to my guess, if it is not expected, Nanyang Commercial Bank will get a place, and it is difficult to say the last place left." ”

Hearing this, Liu Tianci's mind was lively, and he said to Xia Yu: "Then chairman, do you say that it is possible for us to get two places? Standard Chartered Bank is also yours, and there are also many banks under the two departments of Standard Chartered Bank and our Jiuding Bank, these banks come forward to compete for the last place, do you think it will work?"

"If HSBC can, then Standard Chartered isn't bad either. ”

"As for the Bank of East Asia, with the political stance of the Li family, it should not be able to get this place. ”

Xia Yu pondered for a moment, then bowed his head slightly and said: "Your analysis is reasonable, when the time comes, all the banks under it will apply, you are ready, I will notify the Standard Chartered Bank separately." ”

"Okay. ”

......

In the following days, public opinion in Hong Kong has been focusing on Jiuding University, and Jiuding Satellite TV and various newspapers under Jiuding Newspaper Company have been deeply analyzing the positive impact of the emergence of Jiuding University on Xiangjiang and looking forward to the future of Jiuding University.

At this time, there was a lack of high-end educational resources in Xiangjiang, and there were only two undergraduate universities, and only two post-secondary colleges, Shue Yan College and Hong Kong Baptist College, so only two percent of Xiangjiang's students graduated from junior high school and could receive higher education in their hometown.

Now there is one more comprehensive university, and the annual enrollment is almost as large as that of Xiangjiang University and Xiangjiang Chinese University combined, which is definitely great news for Xiangjiang students.

For a while, even the elderly and children knew the name of Jiuding University, and many families were excited about it, and the students who will graduate next year felt lucky.

Not only that, in addition to Jiuding University, a comprehensive university, Xia Yu decided to build the Xiangjiang Culture and Media School and the Xiangjiang College of Traditional Chinese Medicine at the end of last year because of their smaller scale, which have been built and officially enrolled for teaching this fall.

Although these two schools have special thresholds and small enrollments, they also provide many students with a way to study and a way out in the future.

In this way, in addition to the four junior colleges and universities that Xiangjiang originally owned, Xiangjiang has added three more schools, and about 3 percent of junior high school graduates can have the opportunity to enjoy higher education.

Because of Xia Yu, the children of five or six thousand families can enjoy higher education every year, which makes Xia Yu and Jiuding enterprises have a good reputation among the people.

The name of the education charity tycoon is completely worn on Xia Yu's head!

But in the face of surging public opinion, Xia Yu chose to keep a low profile, and because he was not in Xiangjiang for a long time, now he is finally back, all kinds of invitations are floating like snowflakes, and some people he really can't refuse, so he runs around Xiangjiang.

In the midst of the disturbances, time gradually passed.

On October 14, Wang Ping came with the news that Xia Yu's request had been agreed to and that the bigwigs in the education sector had been arranged to go south to communicate face-to-face, and Xia Yu immediately told Wang Gengwu to get ready.

On 16 October, people from the mainland had a friendly exchange with Wang Gengwu and others at Jiuding University, and the aid plan was determined on the spot.

At the same time, Xia Yu also learned about the situation in his hometown, and the Qianzhou University he donated for his hometown Qianzhou has been completed, and is being aided by ten top universities such as Tsinghua University, Peking University, and Fudan University, which will also start recruiting students in the summer of 1981 and start school in the fall.

Hearing such good news, Xia Yuxing did not hesitate, and donated 100 million Hong Kong dollars to Qianzhou University again, and entrusted Wang Ping to transfer it on his behalf.

At this time, the financial circles in Hong Kong were already shaken by the documents released by the mainland on 15 October, and major banks flocked to the Xinhua News Agency's Xiangjiang branch or the Bank of China in Hong Kong to inquire about the news.

Not only Chinese-funded banks, but also British-funded, French-funded, and American-funded banks are trying to enter the mainland.

A piece of paper on the mainland has completely stirred up the situation in the banking circles.

And Xia Yu also learned the true intentions of the mainland through side knocks, putting aside the political position, the biggest purpose is still for foreign exchange!

The mainland urgently needs foreign exchange to support the construction of the four special zones, as well as the domestic military and industrial fields!

This year, the United States has classified Huaxia as a "P" category (i.e., non-hostile country) in the U.S. trade control classification, so many restrictions have been lifted.

After understanding the purpose, Xia Yu immediately started a dialogue with the above through Wang Ping, expressed his attitude, and promised to support the mainland in foreign exchange, and handed over the last quota to Standard Chartered Bank.

However, the mainland did not immediately announce the results, and it was not until October 25 that the list was finally announced.

Standard Chartered Bank, Jiuding Bank and Nanyang Commercial Bank – the three banks – emerged as the winners, and many banks at the helm sighed.

Shen Bi is even more worried about the future of HSBC, he has never underestimated the financial potential of the mainland, at this time HSBC is one step behind the two major rivals, which is extremely dangerous for HSBC!

But at this point, he had no choice but to find a way to enhance his strength from other aspects.

Until October 31, Xia Yu brought "Alien E· T", boarded a plane to San Francisco.

Although he needs to do the layout of Xiangjiang and the mainland, the US election is about to be decided, and he has to go over in person.
