At three o'clock in the afternoon, Jim Anderson finally met this Xiangjiang man, and there are many rumors about him in the United States.

When Lee attended Apple's IPO, Jim Anderson saw the young man on TV news for the first time. As a trust company, they keep a good eye on these tycoons, who are possible customers of their own company. And the news of the listing of stock market companies, he naturally paid special attention, and it was that time that such a yellow-skinned young man came into his sight.

It's just that I didn't expect that in two months, I would be dealing with him. It's a pity that this is not what he imagined to get business from Li Guangyu, but it is a springboard for the Li Group to dig up its own company from itself and enter Asia.

Lee Kwang Woo said to Jim Anderson, "Mr. Anderson, welcome to our Lee Group, it's a pleasure to meet you. ”

Jim Anderson immediately replied, "Mr. Lee, thank you for taking the time to meet me. ”

Lee Kwang Woo said to Jim Anderson, "Mr. Anderson, please take a seat, would you like to drink coffee or taste our oriental tea?"

After Anderson sat down across from Li Guangyu, he said, "Mr. Li, follow the local customs, and I will also taste the taste of Mr. Li's tea."

Li Guangyu then instructed Gan Qin to bring in a pot of tea, and specially explained that he wanted to use the tea leaves of Wuyi Mountain's big red robe.

After Li Guangyu waited for Gan Qin to leave, he said to Jim Anderson, "Mr. Anderson, the development of your trust company in the United States is thriving, and it is the time for you to deepen the development of the American market. ”

Jim Anderson didn't understand what Li Guangyu meant, and responded, "Mr. Li, I didn't need to come in person, but some of your group's requirements have exceeded the authority of our personnel, so I can only come." As for the U.S. side, I believe in the ability of our senior management to lead the development of the group. ”

Li Guangyu said, "Mr. Anderson, as you know, after the Jianing incident, I am afraid that Wing Hang Bank will be difficult to make a profit for a long time in the future. As a trust company, the purpose of your clients is to entrust your company with financial promotions. Wing Hang Bank obviously can't meet your requirements, so why should you hold on to it, and support 100 million dollars for this, I feel that it is not worth it for you. ”

Jim Anderson felt awkward when he heard this, since you don't think it's worth it, why do you want to buy your own shares. If it weren't for you making trouble behind the scenes, with the support of these partners of the bank, maybe Wing Hang Bank would have been back on track. It's still here for my good, I really don't know.

Jim Anderson said, "Mr. Li, we don't play with you Orientals, so we will open the skylight and say something." The reason why I have come to visit you today is to discuss with you personally about Wing Hang Bank, and I have been here for three days, so it is impossible for me to stay here for a long time, and I hope that we can negotiate a good result. ”

Jim Anderson knew that it seemed unlikely that he wanted to keep his shares, and unless he died with Wing Hang Bank, he could only transfer it out, between the Lee Group and HSBC.

Jim Anderson prefers the Lee Group, so that there can still be a favor, and the Owen Trust Company may still have business in the United States to cooperate with the Lee Group, and selling it to HSBC can only be a transaction.

At the same time, Jim Anderson also envied the support of big consortia behind his peers, such as the Guarantee Trust Company and the Bankers Trust Company, which are backed by the Morgan Consortium, and he believes that if Wing Hang Bank is controlled by these two companies, Li Guangyu and the Lee Group will never dare to do so.

Just as Li Guangyu was about to speak, there was a knock on the door of the office, and Li Guangyu knew that it must be Gan Qin, and immediately said, "Please come in." ”

I saw Gan Qin walk in with a pot of tea, and poured it for Jim Anderson and Li Guangyu respectively.

Li Guangyu said: "Mr. Anderson, our Li Group is very sincere in this, you must know that at present, Wing Hang Bank has been labeled as untrustworthy by the citizens of Xiangjiang, and coupled with the loss in the business of Jianing shares, it can be that the current Wing Hang Bank is not worth a few dollars at all. 35xs After our Lee Group accepts Wing Hang Bank, at least you don't have to worry about the loss of $100 million. ”

Jim Anderson doesn't want to talk to Li Guangyu anymore, I plan to sell the shares in my hand are a little distressed, Li Guangyu is good, and the price is so ruthless, he is ready to get his shares without spending much money, how can there be such a good thing, in this case, he will simply drag Yongheng Bank to finish it together.

Jim Anderson said, "Mr. Li, I know that you want to buy my shares and use this as a springboard into the Hong Kong banking industry. HSBC has a different idea about this, and also hopes to acquire our shares, so I also ask Mr. Li to show sincerity. ”

Li Guangyu is really a little unpleasant to HSBC now, he didn't provoke it, but it found itself in trouble.

Li Guangyu really can't care about this, if Jim Anderson really gives the shares to HSBC, he will be in big trouble, and Feng Jingyao and Lee Shau Kee will not be able to explain there.

Li Guangyu said, "Mr. Anderson, as long as you are willing to sell your shares, we can negotiate the price slowly." Rest assured, we at Lee's Group will never let you suffer a loss, and we will certainly not acquire your shares at the current value of Wing Hang Bank. ”

Jim Anderson felt a little better when he heard this, now that Wing Hang Bank has a banking license and is still a little valuable, there are still things, and now customers are going to be lost, if it is calculated at the current value, he will not even be able to recover the principal he invested at the beginning.

Jim Anderson said, "Mr. Lee, I also know that your Lee Group currently lacks a bank to serve as the backbone of your consortium, and Wing Hang Bank is one of your plans. I don't need you to give a high price, just buy according to the market value of Wing Hang Bank before the Jianing incident. ”

Li Guangyu didn't agree to Jim Anderson's request, he thought about the United States, so Li Guangyu would not be the one who was wronged. Can Wing Hang Bank be compared with beforeIf there is no external intervention, Wing Hang Bank has no other choice but to fail.

Li Guangyu said, "Mr. Anderson, although we want to buy your shares in Wing Hang Bank, but you are such a lion, I don't think we can reach an agreement, and I hope you can give a sincere price." ”

That's what Jim Anderson said, and he knew it wasn't likely. He just came to find out today to see how determined the Li Group is to acquire the shares in his hands, and at the same time to know what kind of price the Li Group can offer.

He also needs to go to HSBC to negotiate with them, firstly, to see what kind of price HSBC will offer, and secondly, to put pressure on the Lee Group to increase the value of his shares.

Jim Anderson said, "Mr. Li, I still need to discuss the price of the transfer of our shares with the company's senior management, and we will negotiate this issue tomorrow afternoon." ”

Li Guangyu said, "Okay, Mr. Anderson, I hope we can have a good cooperation, and I believe that the Li Group and your Owen Trust Company can have a good start of cooperation." ”

Jim Anderson said, "We, Owen Trust Company, also hope to reach a long-term cooperation with your Lee Group, but I don't know if the Lee Group is interested in our company." ”

Jim Anderson briefed Lee on the Owen Trust for a while, then said goodbye to Lee and left.

HSBC received a report when Jim Anderson went to the Lee Building, and Shen Bi could only sigh helplessly, and in the morning meeting, many directors did not approve of their plan to buy the shares of Wing Hang Bank in the hands of Owen Trust Company.

Today's Lee Group's offensive against Wing Hang Bank shows the determination of Wing Hang Bank, and many HSBC executives do not want HSBC and Lee Group to completely tear their faces, which will not do HSBC any good.

Even if Shen Bi said the impact that the Li Group will have on HSBC after entering the banking industry, it still does not have the support of the major directors. Their reasoning is that HSBC and Standard Chartered hold the right to issue notes in Hong Kong dollars, which is incomparable to the banks of the Lee Group, which, although huge, cannot shake HSBC's position in Hong Kong.

Jim Anderson confidently went back and waited for a call from HSBC, knowing that the news of his trip to the Lee Building must have reached the ears of HSBC's top management, and they would definitely contact him to buy his shares.

It's just that until the evening, he still didn't wait for a call from HSBC, which made him very disappointed, and his plan to use HSBC as a bargaining chip completely failed.

In the next three days, Jim Anderson was discussing the sale of shares with Luo Qianwen, Li Xuemei and Guo Fengtao.

It wasn't until it came to the price of Wing Hang Bank's valuation of 200 million Hong Kong dollars that Jim Anderson said that he would not drop anything. This price is a little higher than the price he bought these stocks in '73, and if it goes down, he will lose money.

Seeing that Li Xuemei and the others really couldn't go down, they reported to Li Guangyu and asked Li Guangyu about his plans.

Li Guangyu said to Li Xuemei, "At such a price, although it is much higher than the current market value of Wing Hang Bank, I believe that after our Li Group joins, the market value of Wing Hang Bank will rise quickly." And in the past few days, due to the opposition of many directors on the board of directors of HSBC, Shen Bi has not made a move, and it will be more troublesome if he has nothing to do and come to intervene again. ”

Li Xuemei said with a smile, "Li Sheng, it's still a good idea of yours, let the directors of HSBC influence Shen Bi's decision, and avoid a lot of trouble for us." ”

In order to prevent HSBC from making a move this time, Li Guangyu contacted some members of the board of directors of HSBC and had some discussions with them, so there were so many directors who opposed Shen Bi's proposal at this HSBC meeting.

Therefore, it is better to take the group into your own hands to rest assured, as far as Li's group, Li Guangyu wants to do things, and no one can object. Shen Bi can't do it, he's just a part-time worker for the consortium behind him, he doesn't have that much power.
