Chapter 670: The Vitality of Yongan Bank
At noon, Li Guangyu was at the Peninsula Hotel to greet Sumitomo Kimura, chairman of Sumitomo Bank, who had just arrived in Xiangjiang.
Sumitomo Kimura is very happy that Lee Guangyu can personally take over the wind for him, and now this is not the first time he has met the Lee Consortium during the Lee Guangwoo period.
At that time, the Li consortium was just a Chinese-owned family with a stronger strength in Xiangjiang, just because they cooperated with the Fujiwara family, and they hoped to win them over.
What he didn't expect was that in just a few years, the Li consortium has developed into a large consortium in Asia, and although the Li consortium is not yet strong enough to compare with their consortium, if his consortium competes with the Li consortium in the Xiangjiang and Baodao regions, it is estimated that he will lose in the end.
Sumitomo Kimura is very glad that he had a good relationship with Lee Guangyu in the first place, so that the relationship between the Sumitomo family and the Lee Consortium has been very good in recent years, and many of the businesses of the Lee Consortium and its interest groups in Japan will cooperate with their Sumitomo Consortium.
The reform of the mainland continues to advance, and at present, the Japanese and Xiangjiang business circles are the main forces entering the mainland market, and Sumitomo Kimura came to Xiangjiang this time in the hope of establishing a bridgehead in Xiangjiang to prepare for their financial industry to enter the mainland.
And the series of crises that broke out in Xiangjiang this time made him see such an opportunity, especially after the thunderstorm of Yongan Bank, Sumitomo Kimura came to Xiangjiang today after getting the news.
He planned that Sumitomo Bank would take over Yongan Bank and build Yongan Bank into the main force to enter the mainland financial market in the future.
And when he came to the Xiangjiang territory, he also wanted to communicate with Li Guangyu about the problem of Yongan Bank in advance, after all, this is Li Guangyu's home field, and the Sumitomo family and him are also allies.
And if Yongan Bank wants to develop well in Xiangjiang, it is also inseparable from the help of the Li Consortium, although there is no problem with the financial resources of its own consortium, but the citizens of Xiangjiang have completely lost confidence in Yongan Bank, and the Li Consortium is needed to help them in this regard, so that the current image of Yongan Bank among the citizens can be reversed.
Sumitomo Kimura knows very well that if Yongan Bank is wholly owned by the Sumitomo family, it will be very difficult to enter the mainland, and with Heung Kong Capital in it, it will be completely different.
He himself plans to invite Li Guangyu to occupy some shares in Yongan Bank, so that Yongan Bank will definitely develop quite well in the mainland in the future with the support of the Li consortium and his family.
As for the Xiangjiang market, Sumitomo Kimura doesn't have too many ideas, as long as Yongan Bank can maintain its current scale, the market here will only be the market of the Li consortium and its interest groups, and the current Xiangjiang financial institutions and banks are too crowded.
In such a small place, there are three top banks in Asia, and there are a large number of strong regional banks behind them, and Sumitomo Kimura has no intention of coming in with his own bank to compete with them for the market at this time.
The market of the Sumitomo Consortium is in the homeland and in the United States, and they are currently sniping at the major American consortia in the U.S. market, and at this time they don't have much energy to compete with the Li Consortium and the British-funded consortium in Xiangjiang.
Sumitomo Kimura said, "Mr. Li, my uncle asked me to greet you on his behalf, and I also hope that you will be able to visit our family at some time. ”
Li Guangyu knew that the uncle mentioned by Sumitomo Kimura was the head of the Sumitomo family, Sumitomo Kiei, and he said, "Thank you for the invitation of the Sumitomo Patriarch, when I have time, I will go to Tokyo to visit the Sumitomo Patriarch." ”
This time, Sumitomo Kimura suddenly visited Xiangjiang in such a situation, and I don't know what the Sumitomo family has in mind, and now that the struggle between several major Japanese consortia and local consortia in the United States has not ended, the Sumitomo family should not pay attention to Xiangjiang.
Sumitomo Kimura said, "Mr. Li, I came to Xiangjiang this time to hope to cooperate with your Li Foundation, and at the same time deepen the relationship between the Li Foundation and our Sumitomo family. ”
Li Guangyu was much more relieved after hearing this, at this time he was really unwilling to compete with the Japanese consortium, the foundation of the Li Group is still relatively weak, and there is still a big gap between it and several major Japanese consortiums, and the fight with them at this time is quite unfavorable to the development of the Li Group.
Li Guangyu replied: "Our Li Group has always maintained a friendly and cooperative relationship with your Sumitomo family, and I also hope to deepen the cooperation between the two parties.
Sumitomo Kimura then talked about the broad prospects on the mainland, and the Xiangjiang side is the bridgehead for the world's major groups to enter the mainland, and the Sumitomo family hopes to win a financial institution in Xiangjiang so that their financial industry can enter the mainland in the future.
Moreover, he also mentioned the current financial situation in Heung Jiang and the Yongan Bank, which is on the verge of bankruptcy, and hopes that Li Guangyu can work with Sumitomo Bank to take over the bank.
Lee is well aware of the future potential of the mainland market, and no multinational company can ignore the mainland's market of more than a billion people.
Just like the Goldman Sachs investment bank in the United States, it began its layout a few years ago, in order to be able to enter the mainland market one step ahead of its peers in the future, so that its company can take the lead.
At present, the Sumitomo Consortium has cooperated with the mainland side, but there are some difficulties in the financial industry, and it is easier for Chinese investors, and they cannot enter the mainland market for the time being.
This time, Sumitomo Bank plans to acquire Yongan, and also intends to make a joint venture with him, which is really a clever move, as long as Yongan Bank has its own and Sumitomo Bank's entry, it can immediately come back to life. At the same time, when entering the mainland market, it can also alleviate a lot of trouble.
As for the acquisition of Yongan Bank with Sumitomo Bank, Li Guangyu has no opinion on this side, anyway, Sumitomo Bank will be in charge of it in the future, and he will just be an investor, he believes that Yongan Bank will make very good profits in the future in the hands of the Sumitomo family.
Li Guangyu said: "Mr. Sumitomo, I have no opinion on the joint venture acquisition of Yongan Bank, and I believe that Yongan Bank will be able to bring me rich returns under your leadership." In the afternoon, I will ask Ms. Luo Qianwen to communicate with you about specific cooperation matters. ”
Sumitomo Kimura was very happy that Li Guangyu agreed to cooperate in the acquisition of Yongan Bank, and at the same time, he also heard from Li Guangyu's words that Yongan Bank will be dominated by his own family in the future, and the Li consortium has no intention of taking over the throne.
For Luo Qianwen, Sumitomo Kimura also knows some information about her, vice chairman and vice president of Tianyu Financial Group, the second person in charge of the flagship group of the Li Foundation, and this is also a core member of the Luo family in Xiangjiang.
The Xiangjiang Luo family, the He family and the Cao family are Li Guangyu's hardcore allies, and they are now basically a whole of interests, and the relationship is very stable.
Sumitomo Kimura said, "Mr. Lee, I am very pleased to be able to reach this cooperation with you, and I am sure that you will not be disappointed in this cooperation in the future, and we at the Sumitomo Foundation hope to maintain this friendship with the Li Foundation." ”
Lee Guangyu is still very comfortable with the current cooperation with the Sumitomo Foundation, and the Sumitomo family has also provided him with a lot of help in the expansion of his industry in Japan.
