Chapter 856: Doing more harm than good

In the past few days when Li Guangyu was busy dealing with the affairs of Xingyuan Group, the confrontation on the Xiangjiang side was also very fierce, and the public opinion war set off by the media has not stopped.

Neither Stick Shodalan nor George LaVine wanted a third bank to share their interests, so they did not hesitate to throw money at the media to criticize the Lee consortium and Tianyu Bank.

Li Xuemei is obviously unwilling to let Tianyu Bank lose the opportunity to win the right to issue Hong Kong dollars, although Hong Kong Bank can also replace it, so that some of the reasons for HSBC and Standard Chartered's attacks are untenable.

However, Tianyu Bank is wholly owned by the Li consortium after all, and Li Guangyu of Heung Kong Bank is only the largest individual beneficiary, which is completely different in nature.

Tianyu Bank is like a son, the descendant of the lineage, and the Xiangjiang Bank is just a godson, and the Li consortium naturally wants to let Tianyu Bank control this power.

In Li Xuemei's office, Luo Qianwen, executive vice president of Tianyu Financial Group, Xia Fengxing, vice president of the group, and Xia Fengxing, chairman of Tianyu Bank, as well as Le Yiling, president of Xiangyu Group, and Shi Shaoming, president of Jiayi Group, discussed the current situation together.

Li Xuemei said: "Now time is running out, the government will make a decision on this the day after tomorrow, according to the current situation, now public opinion is very unfavorable to us, the focus is on Tianyu Bank is not a listed company, our bank's finances are not open and transparent, this problem is the biggest obstacle at present." ”

Several people present were silent for a while, even if their media tried to defend themselves in the past few days, but this still could not change the situation, Tianyu Bank wants to obtain the right to issue Hong Kong dollars, it must make its finances open and transparent, so that all walks of life in Hong Kong can rest assured.

And now Li Guangyu obviously will not let Tianyu Bank go public, let alone let the bank's finances be made public.

You must know that Tianyu Bank is the center of the entire Li consortium, which involves a lot of information about the Li consortium, and they will not expose this.

Once Tianyu Bank is listed, the bank will have a supervisory committee to supervise the bank, and many operations of the Li consortium will be very troublesome.

In particular, Li Guangyu, a person who does not develop according to common sense, often has a temporary intention to mobilize funds, and after going public, some procedures are not easy to operate.

Luo Qianwen saw that no one spoke, she said loudly: "I suggest giving up this time to let Tianyu Bank fight for the right to issue Hong Kong dollars, in the current view, even if our bank wins this right, it will not be of great benefit to our development, as long as we have this right and interest, we can speak in Hong Kong dollars, as for Tianyu Bank or Xiangjiang Bank to obtain this right, I don't think there is much difference." ”

Luo Qianwen knows very well that even if they now rely on the recognition of the British side and the help of the Governor's Office to win the right to issue Hong Kong dollar banknotes, it will cause a lot of controversy in the future.

After all, the Hong Kong dollar involves the vital interests of millions of Hong Kong citizens and all walks of life in Hong Kong, and they do not want to be controlled by an unlisted bank, so they do not know the specific situation of the bank at all, and they definitely want to put an end to the unknown.

Li Xuemei saw that Luo Qianwen also chose to let Tianyu Bank give up this opportunity, and she knew that Tianyu Bank was estimated to be completely out of play this time.

She knows Li Guangyu's habits, and it is very difficult for him to make his group listed.

In particular, these groups wholly owned by the Li consortium can be easily listed on the Far East Exchange as long as Li Guangyu is willing, whether it is in New York or London, as well as in Hong Kong and Tokyo, and Li Fuzhao, chairman of the Far East Exchange, has repeatedly discussed with Li Guangyu that he hopes that some of Lee's groups can be listed on the Far East Exchange, but Li Guangyu did not hesitate to refuse.

Tianyu Bank is the center of the Li consortium, how could Li Guangyu let this company go public.

Li Xuemei estimated that Li Guangyu had long anticipated the current situation, so she pushed the Bank of Hong Kong to compete for the right to issue notes in Hong Kong dollars a long time ago, and this time she did not force Tianyu Bank to obtain the right to issue notes in Hong Kong dollars, so that she could not do anything about it, let the Bank of Hong Kong take this power, and at the same time let the Bank of Hong Kong go public in the near future.

Li Xuemei asked Le Yiling, "Yiling, I don't know what you think about this?"

"Looking at it now, our Tianyu Bank has indeed done more harm than good to win this right, and our bank has really obtained the right to issue notes in Hong Kong dollars, which will keep our bank in public opinion for a long time, which is not conducive to the development of our bank. As long as Tianyu Bank is not listed, there is no good way to solve this matter. In the face of increasingly fierce public opinion, I think it is better to let the Bank of Hong Kong go. ”

In the past few days, Le Yiling has been in charge of media affairs, and she is coordinating Li's Media to fight back against public opinion in the market.

Now Heung Kong Media is a little weird, and Le Yiling knows very well that it is not only the forces of HSBC and Standard Chartered who are fanning the flames, but also some other forces who are fueling the flames, and they do not want Tianyu Bank to get the right to issue Hong Kong dollars.

And Le Yiling already has some clues, but she can't handle this matter herself, she has to report to Li Guangyu and follow Li Guangyu's arrangement.

Li Xuemei saw that everyone felt that Tianyu Bank would do more harm than good to win the Hong Kong dollar banknote issuance right, so she no longer insisted on some of her ideas.

She said: "Yi Ling, your media will change the publicity next, focus on the Bank of Hong Kong, and promise the outside world that the Bank will start the listing process in the future, and strive to be listed on the Far East Exchange in August." ”

Le Yiling replied: "I will make a unified arrangement after the meeting, I believe that in this way, all walks of life in Hong Kong will be able to accept it, and HSBC and Standard Chartered will have no reason to attack." ”

Le Yiling knows that there are some forces in public opinion this time, and Li Xuemei is not clear.

It's just that these days she needs to put out energy to get Tianyu Bank to obtain the right to issue Hong Kong dollars, so she doesn't pay attention to it for the time being.

Now that they are ready to give up this right, it is also time for them to fight back.

After announcing the adjournment of the meeting, Li Xuemei immediately contacted Cheng Yu-tung, Feng Jingxi, Feng Jingyao, and Ho Youguang to communicate with them about the Bank of Hong Kong's acquisition of the right to issue Hong Kong dollar notes.

In the past few days, the major shareholders of the Bank of Hong Kong have been waiting for the next step, and they have not tried to persuade the Lee consortium to let the Bank of Hong Kong obtain the right to issue notes in Hong Kong dollars.

They know very well how much benefits Li Guangyu has paid for this right, if it weren't for Li Guangyu, they might not be able to obtain the right to issue Hong Kong dollar notes for the rest of their lives, and even if this right is won by Tianyu Bank, it is also what Tianyu Bank deserves.

After receiving Li Xuemei's invitation, several people said that they would contact the shareholders of their own company to discuss the matter at the Peninsula Hotel in the evening.

Youde also soon received a call from Li Xuemei, he was happy to see that the Li consortium was willing to give up Tianyu Bank's right to issue Hong Kong dollar notes, and now the pressure of public opinion is very strong, if their government forced this resolution to pass, the impact on their government will not be small.

Now that the Bank of Hong Kong has come out, the pressure is much less, and in this special period, Youde still hopes to minimize the dissatisfaction of public opinion with the Governor's Office and various government departments.

This time, the Lee consortium invested such a huge amount of money in the UK, which also made Youde look forward to strengthening cooperation with the Lee consortium and paving the way for his own future political future.
