Chapter 52: Meeting Shen Bi

On March 20, after eating breakfast, Li Guangyu did not go out, but sat down at the coffee table and looked at the newspaper delivered today. Li Guangyu's family currently subscribes to Xiangyu Daily, Industrial and Commercial Daily, and Xiangjiang Financial News. The first two are his own newspapers, and the Hong Kong Financial News is more conducive to Li Guangyu's understanding of the economic dynamics of Hong Kong.

At nine o'clock in the morning, Li Guangyu got up and got into the car, accompanied by bodyguards, and went to HSBC.

At this time, Tian Yuhang, the account manager of HSBC, was already waiting in front of the gate of HSBC, waiting for Li Guangyu's arrival. Yesterday, Li Guangyu contacted HSBC about the real estate group's need for a loan, so Tian Yuhang was waiting here.

Li Guangyu got out of the car and walked towards Tian Yuhang, and said, "Tian Sheng, I'm really sorry, please wait here." ”

Tian Yuhang said to Li Guangyu: "Li Sheng, you are a big customer of our HSBC, you want to come to our HSBC Bank, how can I not be here to greet you?"

Li Guangyu knew that the reason why HSBC was so polite to him was that the accounts of several major groups of the Li family were all taken by HSBC, and now that Li Guangyu's company is developing so fast, HSBC is now wholeheartedly trying to tie Li Guangyu to HSBC's ship.

Under the guidance of Tian Yuhang, Li Guangyu came to the office of Shen Bi of HSBC.

Shen Bi saw Li Guangyu coming, and said: "Li Sheng, it's really not easy for you to come to our HSBC once, I still remember the last time you came was more than a year ago." ”

Li Guangyu said: "Shen Sheng, I have nothing to do to come to HSBC, isn't that causing you trouble? And under normal circumstances, when I come to HSBC, it means that my company is in trouble and needs your HSBC to lend a helping hand." ”

"Li Sheng, that's all you said, why did you come to HSBC to cause us trouble, if there were more customers like Li Sheng, we HSBC would be truly worry-free in Xiangjiang. Shen Bi said.

"Shen Sheng, the main reason why I came to meet you today is that I want to use the shares of Starlight Real Estate Group as a mortgage of 1 billion Hong Kong dollars. Shen Sheng, do you think there is a problem?" asked Li Guangyu.

"Li Sheng, you haven't been to our HSBC bank for a long time, so you don't know the situation very well. According to the development of your company, you are currently a VIP customer of our bank, and Li Sheng does not need any collateral for a loan of less than HK$2 billion in our bank. Shen Bi explained.

Li Guangyu listened to Shen Bi's explanation and understood that there is still this benefit, it seems that HSBC's chips are high enough in order to win over him.

Li Guangyu said: "Thank you so much, this is really a surprise!"

"Li Sheng does not need to be like this, as long as Li Sheng can maintain such a long-term cooperation with our HSBC, we HSBC will definitely support Li Sheng's development. Shen Bi said.

Li Guangyu immediately replied: "My various groups have been working with HSBC very happily, and I have no plans to cooperate with other banks at present. ”

"That's great, I will arrange Li Sheng's loan, and when the time comes, Li Sheng will sign it. ”

"Thank you, that's a big problem for me. Li Guangyu said gratefully.

"Li Sheng, do you have any big moves next?" Shen Bi asked.

"No, the main reason is that the real estate group is short of money for the development of Tin Shui Wai, so I came here to ask for your help. Lee Kwang Woo replied.

Shen Bi felt very puzzled, if Li Guangyu didn't make any big moves, with the profits of his Xingyu Video Game Group and Xiangyu Culture Group, which were completely enough to support the development of Tin Shui Wai, why did he still have to take out a loan?

Shen Bi asked: "Li Sheng, if you are just developing Tin Shui Wai, it seems that there is no shortage of funds." ”

"Well, it seems that Shen Sheng knows a lot about my subordinates, my two groups only support the construction of the group's headquarters building in this year, and as for the real estate group, they have to rely on themselves. As for the profits of the two groups, the two groups will be used for the development of the groups themselves. Li Guangyu said.

When Shen Bi saw Li Guangyu say this, he didn't ask any more questions in this regard.

Instead, he asked, "Li Sheng, what do you think about the Xiangjiang issue?"

Li Guangyu knew that Shen Bi was still a figure who wanted to retain British rule in Xiangjiang, so he said: "Shen Sheng, the question you asked is too big, I just want to develop my company, and the rest is not something I should consider." ”

Shen Bi saw that Li Guangyu was unwilling to answer this question, so he didn't ask anything more. He is only the chairman of the bank, and he does not represent the British government. As long as Li Guangyu continues to cooperate with HSBC, it is better for others to be biased towards the UK, and it doesn't matter if they are not biased towards the UK, as long as they do not explicitly support the mainland.

Then Shen Bi and Li Guangyu chatted for a while about some current things in Xiangjiang, and Li Guangyu said goodbye to Shen Bi.

……

After processing the HSBC loan, Lee, accompanied by bodyguards, drove the motorcade towards his home.

Li Guangyu sat in the car, thinking back to the conversation with Shen Bi just now. For the most famous Taipan king in Xiangjiang, Li Guangyu is not very good at evaluating him.

Shen Bi helped Li Ka-shing and Bao Yugang acquire the British-funded consortium in '79 and '80 respectively, which is a proper traitor if you look at the Chinese. During his tenure at HSBC, he was always kind to the Chinese, and he also made some Chinese directors of HSBC.

However, on the issue of Xiangjiang, Shen Bi was definitely a staunch pro-British faction, proposing to exchange sovereignty for governing power, and still wanted to put Xiangjiang under British rule.

Li Guangyu is really helpless now, he just wants to develop his own enterprise well, why is it so difficult? Both the mainland and the British side want him to stand up.

Li Guangyu had a rare lunch at home today, so He Ma arranged Li Guangyu's lunch early.

When Li Guangyu arrived home, it happened to be time for lunch, and as soon as Mama He saw that Li Guangyu was back, she immediately arranged to bring out the lunch prepared for Li Guangyu one by one.

Li Guangyu saw the dishes prepared by He Ma, and said to He Ma with a smile: "It's still good to eat at home, but those outside always don't taste like this." ”

Mother He said: "Young master, if you think that the outside is not delicious, you will also go home for dinner at noon in the future." ”

Li Guangyu said to Mama He: "Mama He, the outside just doesn't taste as good as at home, and I don't need to toss myself back and forth to eat the food cooked at home." ”

Mother He immediately said: "Young Master, if you are busy, I can do it and let someone send it to you." ”

"Mom He, don't worry, there are so many people in the company, it's not good. Besides, the outside ones are okay. You don't have to go through the hassle either. Li Guangyu said.

Wang He Yunfang saw Li Guangyu say this, so he didn't insist anymore.

This is Wu Wen reporting beside him: "Young master, after you go out today, the Zhonghua Society will call, hoping to visit you at nine o'clock tomorrow morning." ”

Li Guangyu listened to Wu Wen's words, and felt a headache, the mainland and Britain are not over yet, and the treasure island is coming to visit him again, what is this.

Li Guangyu said to Wu Wen: "Grandpa Wu, you call back to the Chinese Society, I will wait for President Hu at home tomorrow." ”

"Okay, young master. ”
