Chapter 576: Rejection and Suspicion (Second Update)

This day was a rare torturous day in life for the Zhuang brothers and the Liu brothers.

Although both Hang Lung Bank and K. Wah Bank solemnly held a press conference to deny the problems of their banks, and Hang Lung Bank directly invited a large number of security guards to move 20 million Hong Kong dollars in cash in a glass cabinet behind the counter of Hang Lung Bank.

A mountain of cash appeared, giving a shocking visual impact, and a small number of people were really deceived and gave up withdrawing.

But when it comes to self-interest, most depositors are determined to take out their money.

However, some people believe that the pressure on Hang Lung Bank is even less.

On the contrary, in the case of K. Wah Bank, Liu Cansong did not borrow money, so the bank's liquidity was on the verge of a high-risk warning of HK$10 million, and its ability to do public relations was not as good as that of the Zhuang brothers, so the situation faced by K. Wah Bank was even more serious than that of Hang Lung Bank.

Liu Cansong had no choice but to call his brother in Singapore, and after discussing with him, he resolutely decided to give up K. Wah Bank.

The gold futures business lost 220 million Hong Kong dollars, although it was not as valuable as the original K. Wah Bank, but now the sudden run time has a bad impact on K. Wah Bank, and it is too risky to continue to invest money in it.

Even if they survive the run, the brand value and assets of K. Wah Bank will shrink significantly, and they will have to invest hundreds of millions of dollars, which is not worth it at all.

Between losing a Jiahua Bank and losing the bank and subsequent investment funds, the Liu Cansong brothers were ready to break their wrists.

Of course, it would be great if someone took over or someone borrowed money.

Therefore, Liu Cansong's brothers contacted people everywhere and wanted to transfer or borrow money from Jiahua Bank at a low price, but at this time, no one dared to accept it, and no institution dared to borrow money.

Even some institutions that are tempted, such as HSBC and Standard Chartered, do not dare to take over rashly in the face of uncertainty.

After all, who knows how many billions of dollars Jiahua Bank has lost, and what if there is an even bigger mine buried under the mine? Don't blow yourself up!

Of course, after all, there is still a glimmer of life, and if you are psychologically prepared, you should work hard or work hard, such as recalling the loan, and recovering part of the money you lent before, you can also resist the pressure.

So when Ka Wah stopped lending, all the employees in the lending department were trying to find a way to recover the loans.

As for the Zhuang brothers, the choice is different from that of the Liu brothers, they are more confident in themselves, and think that Hang Lung Bank can save it again.

However, it is normal to think about it, after all, after borrowing 50 million Hong Kong dollars from Far Eastern Bank, Hang Lung Bank's liquidity is still more than 70 million Hong Kong dollars, which is seven times more than 10 million Hong Kong dollars from K. Wah Bank.

However, in the face of a hole of more than 300 million Hong Kong dollars, 70 million Hong Kong dollars is completely insufficient, so the Zhuang brothers still have to borrow as much money as possible.

In the case that major financial institutions did not borrow money, the Zhuang brothers turned their attention to the big man in Xiangjiang.

After some screening, the Zhuang brothers locked their eyes on Li Jiacheng.

The Zhuang brothers are from Jinjiang, Fujian Province, and Li Jiacheng's uncle Zhuang Jinan can get distant relatives with them, while the Fujian merchants and Chaoshan businessmen already like the township party and attach more importance to the friendship of fellow villagers, so the Zhuang brothers came to see if there was a chance.

In the Li family's mansion, two brothers, Zhuang Rongkun and Zhuang Qingquan, sat face-to-face with Li Jiacheng drinking tea and chatting.

Due to the embarrassment, in the face of the Zhuang brothers who came to the door with gifts, Li Jiacheng chose to let them in.

But with a bright heart, he drank tea slowly, and wondered how to deal with the problems of the Zhuang brothers in the future.

Seeing Li Jiacheng pretending to be stupid, Zhuang Rongkun and Zhuang Qingquan glanced at each other, and Zhuang Rongkun, who was often active in Xiangjiang and had a better relationship with Li Jiacheng, spoke.

"Li Sheng, Uncle Zhuang's health is fine, I'm ashamed to say that we haven't visited him since we visited him in December last year. ”

Li Jiacheng smiled faintly and said in a calm tone: "Thank you for your concern, my uncle's body is still very strong." ”

"Then we can rest assured as juniors. ”

Zhuang Rongkun showed a relieved expression, but unfortunately Li Jiacheng just smiled and did not answer.

This kind of distant and faint kinship is not worth his risk to help the two Zhuang Rongkun brothers.

"Mr. Li, I also encountered difficulties this time, and you should have heard that Hang Lung Bank's capital chain is relatively tight, and it has been targeted by people with bad intentions, which has caused me to run into trouble. ”

"Here's the thing, some big customers have delivered gold futures, and more than 400 million yuan have been delivered in two days, and in line with the principle of honest management, I agreed, and the liquidity of Hang Lung Bank will be drained. ”

"So in the face of the gold futures delivery application that came out later, I negotiated with them to temporarily postpone the turnover of funds for two days, who knew that those customers were unwilling, and the news did not know how to leak out, so they said that there was a problem with our bank's capital chain. ”

Speaking of this, Zhuang Rongkun looked sad and indignant, and sighed: "More than 400 million Hong Kong dollars have been delivered in two days, how many banks in Xiangjiang have the strength of Hang Lung Bank......?

Now that the news is exposed, Zhuang Rongkun has also seen the news, so in order to cheat money, he thought of this logical lie in the past, trying to win Li Jiacheng's trust and borrow money from him.

It's just that Li Jiacheng is a person who has seen the wind and waves after all, his ears and eyes are clear, and he is not easily influenced, after listening to Zhuang Rongkun's words, he also made a play, showed a sympathetic expression, and comforted: "Zhuang Sheng, you can come up with more than 400 million Hong Kong dollars, which shows that the bank is strong, but it just lacks a little luck, and I mourn, as long as the bank itself is fine, it will definitely be able to survive." ”

Zhuang Rongkun immediately said: "I also know this truth, but the most important thing is to carry through the critical period of these few days, as long as customers can mention money for a few days, the run will slowly subside, but the key is that the capital chain is tight, I am worried that I can't hold on, this is not to ask you for help." ”

"Li Sheng, according to the relationship, we are also a family, I don't know if we can pull my brother?"

Zhuang Qingquan also seized the opportunity and echoed: "Yes, Li Sheng, if I hadn't invested in a new large-scale steel plant recently, I could have drawn some funds from Apollo Iron and Steel Company, who would have expected it to happen so coincidentally, otherwise I wouldn't have been cheeky enough to cause you trouble." ”

The Zhuang brothers' rhetoric was one after another, which completely shook off the problems of Hang Lung Bank, and at the same time blocked Li Jiacheng's words that they asked the banker to pay in advance.

It's just that Li Jiacheng already had a judgment in his heart, and he was not moved.

He said apologetically: "Zhuang Sheng, it's not that I don't want to help, it's just that I just developed a few pieces of land, and the funds have been invested, just over to the Wan Chai Pier on Hong Kong Island and Ming Fung Road in the Eastern District, you should have heard of it." ”

"It's really unfortunate, if it is two or three months in advance, or half a year late, I will definitely be able to lend you 200 million. ”

When the Zhuang brothers heard this, their faces turned dark.

Li Jiacheng said generously, but it was a blank check.

Two or three months in advance? Now it's all gone, and it's like talking about it.

As for the late six months, Hang Lung Bank may not be able to survive for a long time.

If it survives, it will prove that Hang Lung Bank is fine, and Li Jiacheng can also borrow 200 million yuan with confidence.

Of course, after half a year, there is no need for Hang Lung Bank to borrow any more money, and Li Jiacheng may not still be willing to remember what he said today.

So to put it simply, Li Jiacheng, the fox, is completely playing Tai Chi.

"Li Sheng......"

......

The Zhuang brothers continued to work hard, but Li Jiacheng was as slippery as a loach and did not leave his hands, and Zhuang Qingquan, who finally saw clearly, interrupted his younger brother Zhuang Rongkun's idea of continuing to persuade and offered his farewell.

Seeing the car body of the Zhuang brothers in the distance, Li Jiacheng looked up at the sky with a faint gaze.

"Who did the work against Hang Lung Bank and K. Wah Bank at the same time?"

"HSBC, Standard Chartered, Jiuding Bank, or anyone else?"

"Now that public opinion in Xiangjiang has reached a climax in one day, this situation seems a little familiar, could it be him?"

Thinking of this, a familiar figure appeared in Li Jiacheng's mind.
