Chapter 621: Separate Consultation
After the meeting, McBurney DeShawn had a separate exchange with Li Guangyu on the issue of the right to issue Hong Kong dollars, and the current situation in Hong Kong was already quite tense, and he did not want the Li consortium to make trouble in the future.
As the director of the Xiangjiang Monetary Authority, how could he not know the actions of the Li consortium and its interest groups in the stock market this time, the more the economic downturn in Xiangjiang is, the more they will make money, and the property market crash will have little impact on their group at all, and these groups have long been transferred to other markets.
Step by step, the Li consortium has gone from a small family with assets of just over 100 million yuan to the point where it has assets of hundreds of billions of dollars, and it only took five years in the middle.
It's just that Li Guangyu's heart is too big, and now this is not enough, he is still thinking about the issuance of the Xiangjiang currency, and wants the Li consortium to become a complete underground emperor of Xiangjiang.
This is what the British government does not want to see, at least until the British lose control of Xiangjiang, they will not hand over this power to the Lee consortium. If Xiangjiang is recovered by the mainland in the future, then it will be another matter.
De Sean believes that the British government will give this right to the Li consortium at that time, and at that time, the greater the power of the Li consortium in Xiangjiang, the better, and the greater the consideration.
In the small conference room, Deshawn said: "Mr. Li, I remember when you established Tianyu Bank, but you promised us that without the permission of our government, your Tianyu Bank would not get involved in the right to issue Hong Kong dollars, what is the situation today?"
Li Guangyu said with a smile: "Mr. Deshawn, this time I did not propose this matter, and this time I did not say that we Tianyu Bank should have the right to issue Hong Kong dollars, they have always said that it is a Chinese-funded bank, and I hope that the government can listen more to the public opinion below." ”
Deshawn felt that Li Guangyu was very shameless, the reason why these people were so troublesome was not because of the Li consortium, once the Chinese-funded bank was added to become the issuing bank of the Hong Kong dollar, in addition to Tianyu Bank, which bank was more qualified than them.
As for public opinion, this is not all colluded by the Li consortium before, if they all follow the public opinion, then Britain would have lost its rule over Xiangjiang a long time ago.
De Sean said: "Mr. Li, please also give priority to the development of Hong Kong, the achievements made by Hong Kong are not easy to come by, and we are facing great challenges at present, at this time, I hope that all walks of life in Hong Kong can maintain stability, so as to avoid economic turmoil in Hong Kong." ”
Although Li Guangyu knew that it would not be easy for him to win the right to issue Hong Kong dollar banknotes this time, he still needed to put some pressure on the Hong Kong and British governments to lay the foundation for himself to obtain this right in the future.
Li Guangyu said: "We at Lee's Group have always regarded Xiangjiang as the foundation place, and I grew up in Xiangjiang, and I myself am very willing to see the sound and rapid development of Xiangjiang, and our Lee's Group is also willing to contribute to the stability of Xiangjiang." On some issues, please consider the interests of our Chinese-funded family and the more than 5 million citizens of Xiangjiang, because the development of Xiangjiang is not only a matter of the British-funded consortium, but also cannot drive the development of Xiangjiang. ”
De Sean was speechless, Li Guangyu can pull it, it is obviously the interests of his Li consortium, and he has to pull out the banner of the Chinese family and more than 5 million citizens of Xiangjiang, can the Li consortium represent all the citizens of Xiangjiang?
When De Sean asked some questions clearly, Li Guangyu and the top management of the Li consortium shouted very well, Xiangjiang is the Xiangjiang of more than 5 million citizens, and what they said is only their personal opinion, and cannot represent the views of more than 5 million citizens of Xiangjiang.
At this time, how can he represent the views of five million citizens, and Deshawn has completely seen Li Guangyu's shameless approach.
De Sean said: "Mr. Lee, I will report to the Governor about your proposals, and I hope that your media will not carry out some regional attacks on other banks and institutions, which will lead to some unnecessary confusion." You must know that Hong Kong is still under the management of our British government, and I believe that with your wisdom, you will not do anything that will affect our friendship. ”
Li Guangyu did not think of attacking him with the problem of Standard Chartered's headquarters in London, which would not be beneficial to the Li Group, although many of his major groups are registered in Xiangjiang, but the funds they hold are all in Bermuda, and even Tianyu Financial Group is registered in Bermuda.
When the time comes, many groups and families in Xiangjiang will be involved, and Xiangjiang will definitely be in chaos.
Li Guangyu said: "Please rest assured, our media group under the Li family will never take such drastic actions to affect the harmony of Hong Kong, but you still need to mention to the governor about the right to issue Hong Kong dollars, the biggest contribution to the economy and taxes of Hong Kong is our Chinese-funded group, and I hope you can consider the current actual situation of Hong Kong, the era of the British consortium dominating Hong Kong is over, and some things should be changed with the development of the times." ”
After listening to Li Guangyu's promise, Deshawn also let go of the worries in his heart, otherwise when the Li consortium coerced the people of Xiangjiang to force them to clear the right of the Financial Bureau to issue Hong Kong dollars and increase the replacement of Chinese-funded banks, he himself was worried that he would not be able to withstand such pressure.
De Sean, who has worked in Xiangjiang for more than 20 years, is very clear about the loneliness of the Xiangjiang British-funded consortium, in the mid-70s and before, when the Chinese family was only much stronger, and the economy of Xiangjiang was controlled by the four major foreign banks, and at that time, the Chinese family was more seeking to cooperate with the four major foreign banks to maintain the development of the family industry.
It's just that in just a few years, in addition to Jardine Matheson, two of the other three major foreign banks have become a cloud of the past, and Swire has been beaten and half disabled, where is there still the power it once had.
Deshawn knows that Xiangjiang has entered the era of the Li Foundation, and he believes that Xiangjiang will only be the world of the Li Consortium for many years to come, Li Guangyu is only 21 years old, and he can still be in charge of the Li Consortium for decades, with his current performance, the Li Consortium will only develop and grow.
De Sean said: "Mr. Li, our government will carefully consider this issue, but you also know that the impact of the Hong Kong dollar banknote issuance power is too great, and it cannot be decided in a while, and please be patient, I think with the development of the Li consortium, there is a very good chance to obtain this right in the future." ”
De Sean wants to delay time, the Xiangjiang issue is still being negotiated, once the Xiangjiang is to be taken back by the mainland, they don't mind that the Li consortium has the right to issue Hong Kong dollars.
Li Guangyu also knew Deshawn's thoughts, he didn't think about taking a head in Xiangjiang at this time, now he just quietly watched the stock market fall, he waited for December to collect the money.
The arrival of more than 20 billion Hong Kong dollars, Li Guangyu, in addition to copying the Xiangjiang property market, is used for the expansion of the Xiangjiang Telephone Group, and Motorola in the United States has already spread the news that it will be commercialized at the beginning of next year.
Lee Guangyu and McBurney DeSean exchanged views on Hong Kong's short-term financial market, and the two met separately for more than an hour before concluding.
