The next morning, when it was almost nine o'clock, Li Guangyu arrived in a small conference room in the Governor's Palace, where Shen Bi, McBurney DeShaun, and MacLehose were already waiting.

As the host, MacLehose saw Lee Kwang Woo come in, and immediately said to Lee Kwang Yu: "Mr. Lee, please sit down, please wait a while, I think Mr. Wilson will be here soon, and I can formally negotiate the issue of the Lee Group's application for a banking license." ”

After Li Guangyu sat down, he did not speak, and while waiting for Powell Wilson to arrive, he thought about the issues of the next talks and how to deal with possible situations.

It wasn't until nine minutes before Powell Wilson was led to the conference room by the staff.

After all parties sat down, MacLehose said: "Ladies and gentlemen, the focus of public opinion in Hong Kong in the past few days must be very clear, and the spearhead is directly aimed at the Monetary Authority, which has had a great negative impact on our government. Now we can no longer allow this incident to continue to happen, and we must resolve this matter as soon as possible, so that the news media and citizens of Hong Kong can calm down. ”

Among them, the most pressure is McBurney DeShawn, as the director of the Hong Kong Monetary Authority, he has now been pushed to the forefront by the Hong Kong media, countless people are watching his actions, and countless people will receive calls every day, some questioning and some asking him to insist. Faced with the confrontation between the Chinese-funded consortium and the British-funded consortium, and this time the focus happened to be within his jurisdiction, which made him particularly uncomfortable, and he had the idea of picking a pile of people and quitting.

Li Guangyu said with a smile: "Mr. MacLehose, Mr. De Sean, this time our Tianyu Investment Company's application for a banking license can be handled in accordance with the regulations of the current Financial Authority, in fact, there is no need to consult some people's opinions. Some people sit in high positions for a long time, and they think that they are the emperor of Xiangjiang, and when they want to dominate the financial market of Xiangjiang, they try their best to attack those opponents who threaten them, which is very detrimental to the development of Xiangjiang's financial industry. ”

Shen Bi and Powell Wilson were very angry when they heard Li Guangyu say this, isn't this just talking about the two of them? As if he didn't want the Li Group, who from all walks of life in Xiangjiang still didn't know the ambition of your Li Group, and wanted to build a world-class consortium, and said that we should be the emperor of Xiangjiang, and you yourself should be the emperor of Xiangjiang.

Shen Bi retorted: "The financial stability of Xiangjiang needs everyone to work together to stabilize, and we have the right to put forward our own opinions on the damage that some groups may cause to the current order, and we do not want some ambitious people to enter the situation that will break the current stability and development of our Xiangjiang." ”

Powell Wilson said: "The Hong Kong Monetary Authority was established to maintain the stability of the Hong Kong financial community, and we have the right to consult everyone on some important matters, so as to better maintain the stability of the Hong Kong financial market. ”

Seeing the situation between the two sides, MacLehose can feel that it will be very difficult to achieve a satisfactory result for both parties today.

MacLehose said: "Mr. Li, Mr. Shen Bi, Mr. Wilson, you all calm down first. I hope that everyone can discuss a mutually acceptable outcome today, and jointly maintain the stable development of the situation in Hong Kong. ”

In the face of MacLehose's ultimatum, Shen Bi and Powell Wilson understood that it seemed impossible to drag on today, and at the same time, they also felt the threat of the Lee Group, whose media group had too much influence.

This time, he and others thought that they would be able to influence the government's decision with the helmsmen of the British-funded consortium, so that they could drag on the matter of the Li Group's self-establishment of a bank indefinitely. Even if the Li Group sues the court, they also have a way to make it impossible for the Li consortium to form its own core financial group and curb the excessive development of the Li Group.

It's just that this idea was directly shattered by public opinion in Xiangjiang, and this pioneer is the media group owned by the Li family, which also made Shen Bi and Powell Wilson interested in it.

In the past, no media in Hong Kong would compete with a British-funded consortium, let alone attack the government departments on such a large scale as it is now. The root of this is here in the Li Group, with the leadership of the Li Group's media, other news media are not worried about what problems will occur, with the Li Group in the front, they are very relieved to follow the back to make bold reports.

This negotiation was quite difficult, if it weren't for MacLehose being in the formation and giving a time limit, I am afraid that Li Guangyu, Shen Bi, and Powell Wilson would have broken up a long time ago.

Li Guangyu established the bank in the natural hope of obtaining all the business licenses. Shen Bi and Powell Wilson saw that they could not prevent Li Guangyu from establishing a bank, so they set up a problem for the Li Group.

There were many restrictions on the banks established by the Lee Group, and even the foreign currency settlement business was not intended to be owned by the Lee Group, and at the same time, the Lee Group Bank was not allowed to open a savings business, which basically restricted the development of the Lee Group Bank.

Li Guangyu naturally would not agree to this, because the business of Wing Hang Bank was not comprehensive enough, so he had to establish a bank, if according to the opinions of Shen Bi and others, his own bank was not as good as Wing Hang in business, then what did he bother to build this bank for.

Li Guangyu said: "Mr. Shen Bi, Mr. Wilson, I think you are too lenient, our Li Group will not agree to such a request, and the specific business of our bank does not need your HSBC and Standard Chartered to intervene, this matter should be discussed separately by our Li Group and the Financial Authority, since you have no opinion on the establishment of a bank by my Li Group, I think you should not worry about other things." ”

Shen Bi said: "Mr. Li, I'm afraid that you have misunderstood, we will only agree to you to set up your own bank after you Li agree to these conditions, so as to maintain the financial stability of Xiangjiang." As the idol of countless people in Xiangjiang, Mr. Li should contribute to the stability of Xiangjiang. ”

Li Guangyu doesn't accept Shen Bi's set, he is not so great, and the establishment of his own bank has not affected the financial stability of Xiangjiang, but it may have an impact on their HSBC.

Li Guangyu said: "Mr. Shen Bi, I talked to Mr. MacLehose yesterday that the right to issue notes in Hong Kong is in the hands of two British banks, HSBC and Standard Chartered, which is not conducive to the financial stability of Hong Kong. ”

After hearing this, Shen Bi and Powell Wilson immediately strongly objected, Li Guangyu had such a big appetite, and the bank had not yet been established, so he wanted to get the right to issue notes in Hong Kong dollars, which was a dream, and he would never be able to agree.

McBurney DeShawn did not speak when he saw the confrontation between these men, and it was better to let the Governor deal with this matter with them, and then listen to the Governor's orders, so as not to be angry in the middle.
