Chapter 10: Meeting with Shen Bi

Since he knew that Shen Bi liked famous watches, Andrew had already carefully prepared a classic Blancpain VILLERET watch as a greeting gift.

In the afternoon, after contacting Shen Bi to make an appointment for a visit, Andrew and his father Allen arrived at the agreed place ten minutes early, an elegant and clean café. reported Shen Bi's name, and under the guidance of the waiter, he came to the reserved box on the second floor.

Unexpectedly, Shen Bi had arrived earlier, and the three of them sat down after a while of greeting and introduction, and Andrew gave a meeting gift.

After that, the three of them talked harmoniously. Alan explained the idea that part of the family business will be transferred to Hong Kong for development. At the same time, Allen also tactfully requested: When you encounter difficult things, please ask Mr. Shen Bi for help!

Shen Bi responded to Allen's request head-on, saying that he would definitely help within the scope of his ability.

The purpose of this meeting between the two sides is self-evident, and it will be even better if they can live together happily. After talking about business, the three of them chatted all over the world.

In fact, this meeting, as far as Shen Bi is concerned, he is more interested in Andrew's genius past.

The three of them met and talked for half an afternoon, and because Shen Bi had something to deal with, they took the lead in proposing their farewell.

Before leaving, Shen Bi warmly invited Andrew to visit him at HSBC during his stay in Hong Kong. When the time comes, he will bring out the treasured, best tea, and entertain Andrew.

Shen Bi's enthusiastic attitude made Andrew unaware. But after all, it's a good thing, and if you can't figure out the reason, put it aside for the time being, and leave a little care, and you can confirm the reason in the future.

On the morning of his third day in Hong Kong, Andrew inspected the Hong Kong branch of a securities brokerage company.

The Hong Kong branch is located in a three-storey independent building near the Hong Kong Stock Exchange.

The first floor is the client reception area, the second floor is the broker's office area, and the third floor is the manager's office. There are more than 20 regular staff members, and the office environment is good.

In the lobby on the first floor, Andrew, under the introduction of Mr. Henry, met with all the employees of the Hong Kong branch. Temporarily talked about the company's vision and blessing speeches, and finally, came a little practical sweetness, all the company's employees were given an additional month's salary, as the first face-to-face meeting gift with the boss Andrew.

When the employees of the company heard that there was such a good thing, they clapped their hands and applauded, thanking the boss Andrew for his words, and they were full of sycophants.

After the temporary staff meeting, Mr. Henry accompanied Andrew to the VIP room on the third floor. Serve tea and sit down. Mr. Henry gave a detailed report on the company's performance in the first half of this year and the company's proprietary holdings.

After that, Mr. Henry gave Andrew a detailed introduction to the latest developments in the Hong Kong stock market.

Hong Kong's stock market is optimistic, the stock trading volume is gradually expanding, the Hong Kong Stock Exchange has been overwhelmed, and the timeliness of transaction processing is gradually lagging behind.

There are already Chinese investors in the application for the establishment of the second stock exchange in Hong Kong. The boom in Hong Kong's stock market is what Andrew wants to see.

At the branch company station, I stayed for half a day. Andrew looked at the company's business and was generally positive about Mr. Henry's management ability.

However, he also put forward some suggestions, especially asking Mr. Henry to train a group of relatively reliable and capable non-staff Chinese "street runners." As a reserve member of the company, you can appropriately increase some treatment income. In order to prepare for the changes in stock market trading after the establishment of the Chinese-funded exchange.

In the afternoon, accompanied by Mr. Henry, Andrew visited the operation of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, and then paid a courtesy visit to the shareholders of the "Hong Kong Club" in the exchange.

In the returning car, Andrew looked back at the stock exchange he had seen in the afternoon. The Hong Kong Stock Exchange, which is now controlled by the "Hong Kong Council", is indeed overwhelmed by securities trading.

However, the old and xenophobic rigid thinking of exchange holders has indeed failed to keep up with the pace of Hong Kong's economic development. It has inhibited the financing channels for Hong Kong's economic development and, to a certain extent, hindered the speed of Hong Kong's economic development.

Securities trading in Hong Kong does need to change. However, on the surface, Andrew, as a member of the British-funded team, cannot clearly support the independence of the Chinese-funded exchange, and a neutral attitude is sufficient. It's too complicated, and Andrew doesn't want to ask for trouble.

However, the trend is coming. And in the memory of the previous life, there are also separate fragments of the Chinese-funded exchange. On the whole, the separation of Chinese-funded exchanges is inevitable. Your own securities brokerage company should prepare in advance, reserve licensed brokers, and retain fees for new brokerage license applications.

Returning to the company, Andrew analyzed the current situation of Hong Kong securities trading, predicted the subsequent development of events and prepared accordingly. Mr. Henry was told and asked to keep it confidential and to make the corresponding preparations by November.

When Mr. Henry saw Andrew's serious and prudent instructions, he immediately agreed.

After talking about the company, Andrew asked Mr. Henry about the stock margin financing.

Mr. Henry said: Margin financing business is to open a margin account with the bank, sign an entrustment contract with the bank's affiliated securities brokerage company, and you can use the amount of account margin to allocate leveraged financing to buy stocks, and the maximum allocation of leveraged financing is 9%.

He also introduced that since last month, our brokerage company has also cooperated with HSBC to carry out this business.

Since your own brokerage company also has this business, it is more convenient. Andrew and Mr. Henry explained that they had a sum of money and wanted to buy stocks through leveraged financing, and asked him to accompany them through the relevant procedures.

Accompanied by Mr Henry, Andrew opened a margin account at a nearby HSBC branch, deposited £1.2 million and opened a margin account. Then he signed an entrustment contract with Mr. Henry, allocated 8% leveraged financing, and asked Mr. Henry to buy the shares of HSBC, Hongkong Land, Milk, Hutchison, and other companies.

After arranging the securities brokerage company, Andrew's trip to Hong Kong was completed. Next, it depends on whether the market investigation of his father Allen is successfully completed. Also, it was the trip to HSBC invited by Shen Bi.

That night, Andrew contacted his father, Allen, and informed him that his purpose was almost accomplished. Next, there is time to participate in market research to help the family business.

Father Allen said that the field trip and the collection of market information do not require Andrew's hard work. As long as the preliminary information of the market is collected, Andrew can synthesize the market information and give a general business direction.

Since his father didn't need the help of coolies these days, Andrew decided to visit the headquarters of HSBC in Hong Kong at the invitation of Shen Bi tomorrow.

The next day, I contacted Shen Bi's office and agreed to visit Shen Bi at the headquarters of HSBC in Hong Kong at 2 p.m.

Before 2 p.m., Andrew drove to HSBC's Hong Kong headquarters. The manager of the bank hall was instructed to be at the gate of the bank, waiting to lead Andrew.

came to Shen Bi's office and tasted Shen Bi's treasured tea. The two talked harmoniously about Hong Kong's economy and stock market.

Talking about the upward trend of the Hong Kong stock market in recent years, Shen Bi expressed great appreciation for Andrew's forward-looking vision of investing in the Hong Kong stock market. The investment point is almost on the starting point of the Hong Kong stock market, and in a year and a half, the investment income is nearly 100%.

In the face of Shen Bi's praise, Andrew modestly said that it was his luck and a small fight.

Shen Bi heard Andrew's modest excuse, and couldn't help jokingly saying: Since you yourself admit that your fortune is prosperous, if you invest again in the future, you must bring me to make money together. There is a need for funds, and he can find a way to solve it.

Andrew also agreed, jokingly: "I must take him with me then, play with the oversized, and earn it billions of pounds at a time." Give Shen Bi half of it, so that he doesn't have to work hard, and just enjoy a happy life in style.

Andrew, on the other hand, completed his life struggle early, and he could retire early before he started working. ”

The two talked about jokes lightly, bragged and chatted for a while, and then got down to business. Shen Bi asked Andrew to talk about the impact of the establishment of a stock exchange by Chinese capital on the Hong Kong economy and the British-funded team.

Andrew explained his view more neutrally: in the long run, the development of financing channels by Chinese capital is conducive to the rapid development of Hong Kong's economy. For the British-funded team in control of Hong Kong, there is a popular saying: when the river is full, the river will be full.

Andrew's far-sighted and prosaic allegorical conclusion made Shen Bi unable to help but pay attention and marvel in his heart. It is worthy of being a genius! The plain allegorical conclusion contains great wisdom!

After a pleasant chat, Andrew said that the visit was very pleasant, and he would bother next time, and then offered to leave.

Shen Bi felt Andrew's intention to go and no longer kept him. Expressed his welcome to Andrew, next time, to come back to HSBC to disturb him. Get up and go to the door to say goodbye to Andrew.

Andrew left, Shen Bi returned to his seat, and repeatedly recalled Andrew's popular words: "When the river is full, the river will be full." After thinking about it for a while, Shen Bi wrote a discussion report with Andrew and personally sent it to the desk of HSBC's decision-makers.

Andrew left HSBC's headquarters and returned home to rest, so he won't talk about it. A report of Shen Bi's discussion with Andrew was quickly sent to the desk of HSBC's decision-makers.

On the report, Shen Bi deliberately crossed out a paragraph of remarks, which attracted their attention. One of them is a very simple and plain popular saying, "When the river is full, the river will be full." "It's definitely the finishing touch.

At the end of the report, the current HSBC senior class attached his own evaluation, a paragraph with a lot of meaning: A young man who has seen through the imperial fog in the city of London and understood the true meaning of world survival.
