Chapter 1117: Another Big Bank

Cathay Pacific Airways is, after all, Xia Yu's company, and naturally does not dare to divulge the itinerary of the big boss.

And Xia Yu is not the kind of person with a flamboyant personality, except for Li Qian and He Chaoqiong, who know that he has returned, no one else will pick him up.

However, Xia Yu, as a banner of Xiangjiang, is naturally the object of attention of countless people, and less than 24 hours after his appearance in Xiangjiang, the news of his return to Xiangjiang spread throughout the upper class of Xiangjiang.

And the first to get the news were undoubtedly the people from the mainland, who were eager to know what achievements Xia Yu had obtained.

After Xia Yu rested with his family at home for two days, he received an invitation letter from Xinhua News Agency, and he also saw an unexpected name on the invitation.

Knowing that the mainland was anxious, Xia Yu did not procrastinate and secretly went to Xinhua News Agency.

After entering, Xia Yu really saw Liu Zhihe, who was surrounded by Wang Ping and Li Hua.

"Mr. Xia, thank you for your great drive!"

Looking at the three people who greeted each other solemnly, Xia Yu smiled, shook hands with them one by one, and said with a light smile: "Director Liu, President Wang, President Li, the three of you welcome each other, you are flattered!"

"What Mr. Xia said, you are our most important guest and friend, this is as it should be!"

"Inside, please!"

"Let's go!"

After a period of greetings, Xia Yu was surrounded by them and entered the living room, where the staff who had been waiting immediately made tea for everyone, and the table was also full of all kinds of fresh fruits and pastries.

After chatting casually for a while, at the suggestion of Liu Zhihe, Wang Ping and Li Hua found a lame excuse to leave, and Liu Zhihe and Xia Yu were left in the living room.

Liu Zhihe looked at Xia Yu with an anxious look on his face, anxious and expectant, and asked inquiringly: "Mr. Xia, I don't know what the current attitude of the UK towards Xiangjiang is?"

Liu Zhihe couldn't help but be nervous, after all, he knew that the mainland was concerned about this matter.

In particular, Britain had just won the Falklands War, and it was when the momentum was at its peak, that some people on the mainland were pessimistic about Xia Yu's actions, and they were also anxious to know whether Xia Yu could succeed so that they could make strategic adjustments in time, so they sent Liu Zhihe directly to Xiangjiang to wait for Xia Yu.

Xia Yu said with a light smile: "Director Liu, after my many efforts, Margaret Thatcher has given me a clear answer to Xiangjiang. ”

"Here's how it ......"

Next, Xia Yu said his "hard work" and "price", including how to establish a relationship with the big family, how much effort was spent, especially Margaret Thatcher's promise to invest five billion pounds within three years, as for the use of Argentine intelligence as a bargaining chip, Xia Yu did not say.

But the process described by Xia Yu also shocked Liu Zhihe, and two of them shocked him the most.

The first point is that Xia Yu wants to invest 5 billion pounds in Britain within three years, equivalent to nearly 10 billion US dollars, which is more than the mainland's foreign exchange reserves last year, you must know that the mainland's foreign exchange reserves last year were less than 7 billion US dollars, and in 1978 it was only more than 800 million US dollars.

Moreover, if all this money is invested in the mainland, then the mainland will be able to have nearly 10 billion dollars of precious foreign exchange for the purchase of various items urgently needed by the mainland, which will definitely be of great value to the country!

But for the stability and harmony of Xiangjiang, Xia Yu had to give so much money to the British, Liu Zhihe was moved by Xia Yu's patriotic heart, and he couldn't help but feel aggrieved in his heart, if the country is strong, why ......

The second point that shocked Liu Zhihe was undoubtedly the result of Xia Yu's negotiations with Margaret Thatcher.

"Mr. Xia, can you be sure that the British Prime Minister will be able to speak?"

Because the result was too shocking to him, Liu Zhihe was not sure, and asked again urgently.

Xia Yu gradually restrained his smile, and after thinking for a moment in Liu Zhihe's apprehensive mood, he said: "Director Liu, with my understanding of Margaret Thatcher, she is a person who keeps her promises, but we have a private agreement, and it cannot be put on the stage, and it has no legal effect. ”

"So I personally suggest that after you bring the news back, the mainland will immediately send someone to talk to the British government and write down the stability of Xiangjiang on paper, and it will be impossible for Britain to regret it at that time!"

"Another point is that because of the victory in the Falklands War, the morale of the British people is now extremely high, and when the mainland negotiates with the British, it is difficult to guarantee that the British government will promote the generosity of the British government in order to reduce the resistance of the people. ”

Liu Zhihe's expression was solemn, and he nodded heavily and said, "Mr. Xia, thank you for reminding me, I will definitely convey your opinion to the above after I go back." ”

......

After Xia Yu left, Liu Zhihe immediately returned to the mainland with the guards, and after he returned to the national capital, he described the process and results of Xia Yu's narration as it was, and also repeated Xia Yu's suggestions, which really shocked many people, and many people re-realized Xia Yu's strength and had a deeper understanding of Xia Yu's position.

However, Xia Yu is not clear about these things, after all, the radiation range of the net is excluded from the mainland.

In the next few days, Xia Yu was not idle, and visited his master Li Chunqiu and friends such as Huo Yingdong and Bao Yugang in the evening, and devoted himself to work during the day, and lived a very fulfilling life.

On May 19, Xia Yu received Qiu Deba, the head of the Qiu family, from Xingcheng, at the headquarters of Jiuding Bank, accompanied by Liu Tianci, the person in charge of Jiuding Bank.

"Mr. Qiu, last year I promised you that I would come up with a bank as a hub for our cooperation, and now the bank is here, please see!"

Xia Yu smiled lightly and handed Qiu Depuat the information about the new Guangli Yonghang Bank Group that Liu Tianci had just given him.

After ten months of waiting, I finally met the long-awaited bank.

Qiu Teck Puat took the information a little impatiently and carefully browsed it.

Xia Yu drank tea leisurely, waiting for Qiu Deba to finish reading.

The new Wing Hang Bank Group is actually the result of the merger of three wholly-owned banks, Wing Hang Bank, Chong Hing Bank and Bank Guangli Malaysia, which were acquired last year.

At the time of the stock market crash, the three banks were run on and their values plummeted, and Xia Yu's wholly-owned acquisition of these three banks also cost HK$1.375 billion.

After that, Liu Tianci followed Xia Yu's instructions and used the endorsement of Jiuding Bank and Standard Chartered Bank to restore the credibility of these three banks.

With the endorsement of the two giants of Jiuding Bank and Standard Chartered Bank, the three banks quickly got out of the run, and Liu Tianci also proved the strength of the three banks to depositors through vigorous expansion, so the strength of these three banks improved rapidly.

Before the run, none of these three banks would be worth less than one billion Hong Kong dollars.

Now, after the merger of the three banks, the name of Guangli Wing Hang Bank will be used in a unified manner.

The new Guangli Wing Hang Bank has branches in Hong Kong, Macao and Southeast Asia, including 68 branches and representative offices in Hong Kong and Macao, and 47 branches and representative offices in Southeast Asian countries, totaling 115 branches and representative offices.

After the merger, Guangli Wing Hang Bank's total assets reached HK$25.9 billion, the bank's core Tier 1 capital was HK$1.813 billion, and the Tier 1 capital adequacy ratio reached 7%, which is considered a high-quality bank in Hong Kong and even Southeast Asia.

And with total assets of HK$25.9 billion, Guangli Wing Hang Bank has become a large bank across Hong Kong and Southeast Asia!

On the information in the hands of Qiu Teck Pua, the appraised value of Guangli Yonghang Bank was also stated.

HK$3.7 billion!

Although this figure is not as good as the combined value of the three banks before the crash, it is not far behind.

After the stock market crash, the merger of the three banks achieved the effect of 1+1+1>3, so the valuation of 3.7 billion Hong Kong dollars is real!

Qiu Teck Puat also recognized this value when he saw it, but he was surprised and depressed.

Because last year, he only asked Xia Yu to take out the equity of a bank worth more than one billion Hong Kong dollars, covering Southeast Asia and Xiangjiang, and he was expecting to get more than 33.3 percent of the equity or even more than 50 percent of the equity.

But he never thought that what Xia Yu is throwing out now is a bank worth up to 3.7 billion Hong Kong dollars!

When the equity of Swire was transferred last year, the equity was only valued at HK$630 million, and even if the interest for these 10 months was added, it would be only HK$708.75 million!

He can only exchange no more than twenty percent of the equity!

The plan fell through, how not to make Qiu Dep depressed?

But he can't blame Xia Yu, after all, the equity of a large bank with total assets of up to 25.9 billion Hong Kong dollars is very rare, after all, the number of large banks is very small!

"Mr. Qiu, my sincerity has been placed here, are you still satisfied with this bank?"

When he saw Qiu Deba put down the information, Xia Yu asked with a light smile.

Qiu Depua felt a little bitter in his heart, but a smile appeared on his face, and he nodded and said: "I think no one will say dissatisfaction with a high-quality large bank!"

Xia Yu said with a smile: "Since this is the case, then I will not pay a premium, and I will replace the corresponding equity with you according to the valuation price." ”

Qiu Deba's face was solemn, and he solemnly thanked: "Mr. Xia, thank you for your generosity!"

Xia Yu smiled, waved his hand and said casually: "Mr. Qiu, I really hope to cooperate with you for a long time, so naturally I want to show my sincerity!"

Xia Yu said so, Qiu Deba sighed secretly in his heart, he could only wipe out the idea of wanting to spend more money to buy some equity, he still had to make a face!

Qiu Deba laughed loudly: "Mr. Xia, please rest assured that the sincerity of our Qiu family will continue to be shown in the future. ”

"Happy working together!"

"Happy working together!"

After shaking hands, Liu Tianci called a lawyer to transfer the equity of Guangli Yongheng Bank.

After the transfer, Jiuding Bank held 80.85% of the equity of Guangli Wing Hang Bank, while the Qiu family held 19.15% of the equity.

At this point, the Qiu family in Star City was also pulled onto the boat by Xia Yu.

PS: I came back on the evening of the 30th, but I had to go to work on Sunday night after I came back, so I wrote it quickly after I was busy, so please forgive me!
