For the sake of the Hang Seng Bank, which he controls, the senior management of HSBC has been very busy these days, and Shen Bi even went to the headquarters of Hang Seng Bank in person and held a press conference at Hang Seng Bank to show HSBC's support for Hang Seng Bank and enhance the public's confidence in Hang Seng Bank. Flash Dance

The day after Shen Bi's press conference, the phenomenon of long queues at Hang Seng Bank's business outlets to withdraw money disappeared, and the crisis of Hang Seng Bank was lifted by the big tree of HSBC.

In Shen Bi's office, the bank's administration manager was reporting to Shen Bi about the situation at Hang Seng Bank.

I only listened to Shen Bi and said, "Chairman, the director of Hang Seng Bank reported that since you spoke in support of Hang Seng Bank, the run has basically disappeared, and the business has rebounded a little, but it will take a lot of time to recover to the previous level." ”

Shen Bi is already very satisfied with this result, and he believes that with the passage of time, with the support of his own HSBC bank, Hang Seng Bank will definitely be able to return to the previous level. I am also very happy about the influence of my own HSBC, and look at Wing Hang Bank, which has also suffered a run, and has not yet come out of the quagmire.

Shen Bi asked the manager, "Manager Su, is there any news from Wing Hang Bank?"

The manager replied, "Chairman, the major business outlets of Wing Hang Bank are still the same, and there is no improvement. However, they are very well funded, and there is no shortage of funds. Just yesterday, the chairman of the Owen Trust Company, the major shareholder of Wing Hang Bank, came to Hong Kong in person and went to the Lee Building yesterday afternoon. ”

As soon as Shen Bi heard that the chairman of the current holding company of Wing Hang Bank had personally visited the Li Group, he became a little worried. He is doing everything possible to prevent the Li Group from entering the banking industry in Xiangjiang, this time it will not be for the Li Group to directly acquire Wing Hang Bank, once the Li Group acquires the shares of Owen Trust Company, they will have one more strong rival in HSBC, which is not what Shen Bi is willing to see.

He knew that it was unrealistic to keep the Lee Group out of the banking industry. He just wanted to delay the entry of the Li Group as much as possible, and during his own tenure as chairman of HSBC, he did not want any bank in Hong Kong to come out and challenge HSBC's position. He wants to bring HSBC to glory, and after he leaves office, he can't worry about it.

Shen Bi said to Manager Su, "You go and help me make an appointment with the chairman of Owen Trust Company, I have some things to discuss with him." ”

Manager Su said, "Okay, chairman, I'll contact Mr. Anderson." ”

Shen Bi wanted to probe them at Owen Trust Company first to see if they were going to sell the shares of Wing Hang Bank. In that case, HSBC will also intervene and never let the Lee Group easily acquire a controlling stake in Wing Hang Bank.

Shen Bi understands very well that in the future, the banks of the Li Group will be the biggest competitors of HSBC, and with the development speed of the Li Group, HSBC is likely to be no match for the banks of the Li Group in the future. He only hopes that in the past few years in office, he can suppress the banks of the Li Group.

Shen Bi sat in his office, quietly thinking about how HSBC would deal with the impact of the Li Group in the future.

When there was a knock on the door, Shen Bi came back from his contemplation, retracted his thoughts, and Shen Bi said, "Please come in." ”

I saw Manager Su, who went out not long ago, walk in and said to Shen Bi, "Chairman, Mr. Jim Anderson replied that they need to discuss with Ms. Luo Qianwen of Tianyu Investment Company this morning, and the main content of this is the matter of Lee's Group's shareholding in Wing Hang Bank. ”

Shen Bi knew that the Li Group would not let go of such an opportunity, the two banks suffered a run, Hang Seng Bank has HSBC Holdings, the Li Group obviously will not target Hang Seng Bank, and the largest shareholder of Wing Hang Bank is an American company, and the Li Group has enough reasons to do it.

Shen Bi is worried that after Li Guangyu takes control of Wing Hang Bank, he will definitely expand in a general manner, just look at the major groups under the Li family. 35xs second has never been their goal, with the unlimited financial support of the Lee Group, and the vast network of connections behind Lee Guangyu, Wing Hang Bank can quickly become the largest Chinese-funded bank in Hong Kong, and then impact the position of HSBC and Standard Chartered.

Shen Bi said, "You use the phone on my desk to contact Mr. Anderson again, and I will communicate with him personally." ”

After listening to Shen Bi's instructions, Manager Su immediately picked up the phone on Shen Bi's desk, looked at the contact number recorded in his notebook, and dialed it again according to this contact information.

At this time, in Roy Barty's office, Jim Anderson and Roy Barty were discussing the meaning of the phone call from HSBC just now.

Jim Anderson said, "Barty, what do you think the chairman of HSBC is looking for me this time?"

Jim Anderson felt a little surprised when he received this call, his company did not have any business dealings with HSBC, he only arrived in Xiangjiang yesterday, and the chairman of HSBC made an appointment to meet him today, and his Owen Trust Company did not have such a big face to be so valued by HSBC.

Roy Barty said, "Mr. Anderson, HSBC, as the largest bank in Hong Kong, is known as the central bank of Hong Kong, and its influence in Hong Kong is extremely huge. At the beginning of this month, the friendly relationship between the Lee Group and HSBC came to an end for several years, and the Lee Group parted ways with HSBC and began to fully cooperate with the Bank of East Asia. ”

Jim Anderson's IQ is not low, as soon as he listens to Roy Barty's story, he knows why Li Xuemei thought about eating all his shares directly at the Li Building yesterday, the Li Group has long planned to enter the banking industry, and he is an opportunity for them.

As for the chairman of HSBC to negotiate with him, it is estimated that it is also for this matter. Jim Anderson is also very aware of the situation of the Li Group, the Li Group entered the banking industry in Hong Kong, and the establishment of a financial group will have a huge impact on HSBC, and his position as an underground central bank in Hong Kong will not be stable.

However, this is very beneficial to his Owen Trust Company, and HSBC's intervention will be a huge bargaining chip in the negotiation between himself and the Lee Group, and he can also pay a smaller price to bring Wing Hang Bank back to life.

Just as Jim Anderson was still thinking about something, the phone on his desk rang.

Roy Barty picked up the phone and said, "Hey, I'm Roy Barty. ”

"Hello, Mr. Barty, I'm Su Zihan from HSBC, is Mr. Anderson still there? Mr. Shen Bi, our chairman, would like to talk to him on the phone. ”

Roy Barty replied, "Ms. Su, our chairman is right next to me. ”

Roy Barty reported the message on the phone to Jim Anderson, asking what he meant.

After hearing this, Jim Anderson took the earpiece and said, "Hello, I'm Jim Anderson." ”

"Hello, Mr. Anderson, I'm Shen Bi. Shen Bi said.

Jim Anderson said, "Mr. Shen. I really can't leave this morning, I was planning to visit you in person at your HSBC bank in the afternoon, but I didn't expect you to contact me so soon. ”

Jim Anderson is very happy, it seems that HSBC is very worried about transferring all its shares to the Li Group, otherwise Shen Bi would not be so anxious to contact him, let the Li Group and HSBC fight, and he will benefit from the fisherman in the future.

Shen Bi said, "Mr. Anderson, we at HSBC are very happy to welcome you. We are both in the financial industry, and I would like to talk to you about it. ”

Anderson replied, "Mr. Shen has led HSBC to a thriving development, and in Hong Kong it is a leader in the banking industry, and we still need to learn more from you." ”

Jim Anderson knew that Shen Bi called over to discuss the matter of the Li Group's shareholding with the Li Group today. However, Shen Bi didn't mention it, and he wouldn't say anything about it, let's see how long Shen Bi can endure it.

Shen Bi said with a smile: "Mr. Anderson, you have won the award, here in Xiangjiang, our HSBC is nothing, if you want to say that the limelight is still the Li Group, in just over three years of development, the market value has already been several times that of our HSBC." Moreover, the Li Group is ambitious, but I am afraid that it will not be long before the Li Group will become the overlord in the banking industry. ”

Jim Anderson knew that Shen Bi was warning himself that the Li Group was full of ambition and that he should not do anything to lure the wolf into the house. And this is what Jim Anderson is more worried about, once the Li Group becomes a shareholder, if they join forces with the Feng family, he is likely to be kicked out of Wing Hang Bank If HSBC makes a move, he may be able to protect his rights and interests in Wing Hang.

Jim Anderson said, "Mr. Shen, I believe that the strength of your HSBC bank is not so easily shaken, and now we are struggling to develop Wing Hang Bank, and we have to turn to the Lee Group for help. So, whether you want to or not, you have to make concessions, and I can't watch Wing Hang Bank go out of business. ”

Shen Bi heard what Jim Anderson meant, Wing Hang Bank is about to end, even if it is to lure the wolf into the house, you have to find the Li Group to come in to save the scene, if HSBC does not want the Li Group to take a stake in Wing Hang, then ask HSBC to help Wing Hang Bank.

Shen Bi did not give Jim Anderson a promise for the time being, and he still needs to discuss this matter with the senior management before he can make a decision.

Shen Bi said, "Mr. Anderson, you don't need to rush to reach an agreement with the Li Group, if you have time in the afternoon, you can come to our HSBC bank, and we will have a detailed discussion at that time, what do you think?"

Jim Anderson knew that HSBC was going to consider whether to help Wing Hang himself, and Shen Bi would definitely have to discuss many of these issues with the bank's senior management. He himself is not in a hurry for a day or two, and now the funds of Wing Hang Bank can still be weighed.

Jim Anderson said, "Mr. Shen, I will visit you personally at HSBC at 3pm, and I hope you HSBC can bring me some good news, we are in a crisis at Wing Hang Bank, and I have to make a decision early." ”

Shen Bi didn't believe Jim Anderson's words, and he didn't know Yongheng's situation.

Shen Bi said, "Mr. Anderson, I am waiting for your arrival in the afternoon. ”
