Chapter 118: HSBC Taipan Shen Bi (Ten More Requests for Subscription)
In the morning, after dealing with the company's affairs, Xia Yu came to the fifth floor of Jiuding Newspaper Company, after so many days of polishing and carving, mistakes and loopholes were found little by little, and the establishment of the "Economy" magazine was nearing the end.
"Xia Sheng, there is not much problem in other places, and now according to the planning of the magazine, there is still a very important piece missing, that is, the cover character of the magazine, this can only depend on you!"
Lin Shanyuan said with a smile after Xia Yu finished reading the establishment of the "Economy" magazine.
Only this last step is missing, and the magazine "Economy" will be completely formed!
"Economy" magazine from scratch, every step of Lin Shanyuan has been involved in it, up to now, "Economy" magazine has been basically formed, it is because of the "Economy" magazine is very familiar with the "Economy" magazine, he is satisfied in his heart, a sense of accomplishment echoes in his heart.
Although the "Economy" magazine has not yet taken shape, and there is still some time before it is officially sold to the outside world, he can completely conclude that the "Economy" magazine can definitely become an instant hit, and there is no financial magazine in the whole of Hong Kong, and even in the whole of Southeast Asia, there is no financial magazine that can compare with it.
The Economic Magazine will definitely take Hong Kong and Southeast Asia by storm, and will become a sought-after reading item for the upper class.
As an important participant in the construction of "Economy" magazine, and still a person with the right of authorship, Lin Shanyuan is looking forward to that day.
Life in the world, either for fame or profit!
He taught and educated all his life, and because he studied economics, many businessmen would come to him for answers, so it can be said that he wandered among the upper class.
He is not a person who loves money, in essence, he can be said to be a reader, so he attaches great importance to his reputation, and he was able to be moved by Yan Wenhan's words, and he also read the planning book given by Yan Wenhan, and was shocked by it, and also considered that the success was very high, so he definitely participated in it, and also called his best friend Xu Zhixue in.
Now that everything is about to be done, it's time for the last cover character, and he has no choice but to watch Xia Yu's here.
"Professor Lin, don't worry, I already made an appointment yesterday, and I will go over for an interview this morning, and I will go out in person!" Xia Yu smiled at the corner of his mouth, and a fine light flashed in his eyes.
"Oh, who is it? Is it worth going to Xia Sheng in person?"
Professor Xu Zhixue, who had been listening quietly on the side, couldn't help but ask first, he was a little curious about who was worthy of Xia Yu to go in person.
According to the plan, the cover character of the "Economy" magazine, and also the cover of the first issue, must be a sufficiently heavyweight figure, only in this way can the authority of the "Economy" magazine be increased, and it can also create a greater sensation and increase the success rate of the "Economy" magazine.
To do an interview with such a person, you must not take it lightly.
But it is not enough to need Xia Yu, the helmsman of Jiuding Newspaper Company, to come out, after all, the influence of "Jiuding Daily" is so great, not everyone has such a big shelf that needs Xia Yu to come out.
"HSBC Chairman Shen Bi!" Xia Yu said slowly, his tone a little solemn.
"It turned out to be him, then it was reasonable!" Xu Zhixue heard Xia Yu's answer and nodded slightly.
Lin Ruyuan also showed a clear look.
"It's almost time, I'll go first!" After speaking, Xia Yu walked towards the door, estimating that the interview team was ready and waiting for him outside.
Soon, Xia Yu led the interview team to the door of HSBC headquarters, and when he saw Xia Yu coming, a reception staff who had been waiting for a long time immediately greeted him.
"Xia Sheng, the chairman is in the office, please come with me!"
Then, Xia Yu followed the reception staff to Shen Bi's office, and when he passed by the hall, the long guns and short guns also attracted the attention of some customers.
Soon, Xia Yu saw Shen Bi, he greeted him with a smile and shook hands with Shen Bi, who also came over.
"Shen Sheng, hello!"
"Xia Sheng, hello!"
Shen Bi also showed a warm smile and greeted Xia Yu, without the slightest slackness and arrogance, this attitude made Xia Yu nod secretly, worthy of being a long-sleeved dancer, deep Chinese cultural essence of the British, no wonder in his ten years of service, HSBC in his hands rapid development.
Before Xia Yu came to interview Shen Bi, he asked people to collect information about him and get to know him.
In fact, you don't need to look at those materials, many of the memories in Xia Yu's mind are about Shen Bi, which is more complete than the information collected by the company's people.
Shen Bi came to Heung Kong in 1948 and joined HSBC, where he worked for several years in Singapore and Japan before becoming General Manager in 1971.
In 1977, he was appointed Chairman of HSBC, a position he held until his retirement in 1987. During his tenure, HSBC's profitability grew rapidly and its business reached its peak.
In 1979, he sold all of HSBC's British-owned ordinary shares in Hutchison Whampoa to Cheung Kong Asset, helping to transform Mr. Lee.
In 1980, he used 2 billion Hong Kong dollars to support Bao Yugang to buy a controlling stake in Wharf, helping the ship king to go ashore, which caused a sensation.
In 1985, he also spent 5 billion yuan to build the HSBC head office building, and spent another 3.1 billion US dollars to buy 51% of the equity of Ocean Millan Bank in the United States, showing the strong strength of HSBC under his management, so the people of Xiangjiang called him "the king of Taipan".
It can be said that the rise of many Chinese tycoons in Xiangjiang is inseparable from his help, and his position is not particularly biased towards the British, otherwise he would not have helped Li Chaoren and Bao Yugang to annex the British-funded giant enterprises.
Although it is only 1978, those sensational strokes have not yet happened, and his prestige is not particularly high, but in fact it is not low, and his position as chairman of HSBC alone has allowed him to reach the pinnacle of power in Hong Kong, whether it is in politics or business, his influence is very strong.
With him as the cover character of the "Economy" magazine, the weight is absolutely enough, and no one will have any objections!
"Economy" magazine will also cause a sensation because of Shen Bi as the cover character, which can be said to use his influence to promote the magazine.
Moreover, now Shen Bi is willing to accept Xia Yu's interview, or because Xia Yu is at the helm of "Jiuding Daily" and is also a big customer of HSBC, he sold a favor to Xia Yu.
Otherwise, a magazine that has not yet been published, whose influence and future are unknown, does not have the qualifications to waste his precious time to take over the interviews and use his influence.
Moreover, even if all of Xia Yu's assets and influence are combined, in front of Shen Bi, a top boss, it is still not enough.
It was precisely because Shen Bi gave face, and Xia Yu also knew that the sedan chair carried people, so he rejected Yan Wenhan's proposal and decided to interview Shen Bi in person and give him enough respect.
Similarly, Xia Yu also plans to take this opportunity to get to know Shen Bi, after all, the future affairs of Wharf and Hutchison Whampoa also can't get around Shen Bi, so he must make friends with Shen Bi and leave a good impression.
After all, even if Xia Yu used an anonymous account to buy stocks, as long as Shen Bi wanted to know, he still couldn't hide it from Shen Bi, after all, he used HSBC's funds to allocate funds, or 200 million such a huge number, Shen Bi must know, it must have been approved by him, and HSBC has the right to monitor funds to ensure the safety of funds.
It is one thing for Liu Tianci to have the right to give ten times the leverage, but there must also be an upper limit of funds, involving 200 million funds, Xia Yu does not believe that Liu Tianci has the right to be the master, and the only one who can do it is Shen Bi.
Anonymous account operation can only be concealed from other companies other than HSBC, unless Xia Yu has his own bank, and the funds are only circulated in his own bank, so as to achieve the greatest possible confidentiality.
But now Xia Yu doesn't have his own bank, even if he wants to be constrained by HSBC, there is no way, and the strength is insufficient, so what can he do?
We can only recognize the reality, develop desperately, and strive to make our financial company completely closed loop as soon as possible!
