In the face of HSBC's active efforts to woo Chinese families, Li Guangyu naturally will not sit idly by, and give away the resources that are beneficial to him in vain.

On the morning of March 11, Li Guangyu instructed Gan Qin to make a batch of invitation letters, and Li Guangyu invited major families to attend the celebration banquet of Jiayi Group's market value exceeding 3 billion Hong Kong dollars on the evening of the 13th.

Li Guangyu thought about it, and it is more appropriate to invite all the bigwigs for this reason, with the Xiangjiang stock market rising all the way, the market value of Jiayi Group officially exceeded the market value of 3 billion Hong Kong dollars in the first two days, which is already a fairly high market value. However, Li Guangyu estimates that this is also the most glorious moment of Jiayi Group in recent years.

When you want to break through the market value of 4 billion next time, I am afraid that it will be four or five years later. When this July comes, even their own companies will be hit hard, and Jiayi Group and Kowloon Bus will definitely be affected by this, and the stock market will fall sharply.

After Li Guangyu finished instructing Ganqin, he came to Tianyu Investment Company to inquire about the current progress.

Luo Qianwen said: "Li Sheng, we have obtained a banking license from the Hong Kong Monetary Authority, and now we only need to recruit people and set up our bank branches. ”

Li Guangyu didn't expect to get the banking license so quickly, and this time the Financial Authority is really fast.

Yuan Tianfan said: "Li Sheng, our various materials have been prepared for a long time, and the Financial Authority has already reviewed them, but they have been dragging their feet and unwilling to send them to us. This time, after you and Mr. MacLehose talked to them, they just signed it off in the end. ”

Li Guangyu said: "How do you prepare for the business outlets, and what are the specific plans?"

Yuan Tianfan said: "Li Sheng, we are going to put the bank headquarters in the Li Building, and we will carry out a certain renovation on the first floor and take out a part of it for our Tianyu Bank to use." At the same time, we are also preparing to establish a branch in Tin Shui Wai, and we will slowly consider it later. ”

Li Guangyu is not in a hurry to expand in Xiangjiang now, Xiangjiang has not had a good time in recent years, but next year there will be many banks will be unlucky, when the time comes to acquire some, there will naturally be outlets. Lee Guangyu is more focused on external expansion, especially in the Treasure Island region of Japan, where he has a lot of business.

Li Guangyu said: "Tianfan, you hand it over to Ms. Luo from Xiangjiang, after you attended the celebration of Jiayi Group in a few days, you will go to Baodao and Japan to communicate about our bank's entry, and get more business licenses while getting a banking license as much as possible." In the treasure island, you can go to visit Dean Sun Yunxuan, and the difficulty here should be less. As for the Japanese side, let's see what the Sumitomo family thinks, and you can discuss it with Qinglin when the time comes. ”

......

At half past seven in the evening of March 14, Li Guangyu and Cao Weiqing came to the Peninsula Hotel to greet all the guests who came today.

The heads of all the major families who received Li Guangyu's invitation came to The Peninsula today. They knew the purpose of Li Guangyu's sudden invitation to him for such a reason this time. This is a response to HSBC and is also held for the upcoming banking business of the Lee Group.

Li Guangyu and Cao Weiqing waited outside the hotel until the celebration banquet was about to start, and then entered the hotel and went to the banquet hall, which can be said to have given enough face to the major families.

Today, all branches of the He family came here, and Luo Cheng and Cao Wenjin were also helping Li Guangyu accompany the guests, so as not to make the heads of the families who came feel left out.

At the beginning of the celebration banquet, Li Guangyu expressed his gratitude to everyone for coming, and after telling about the achievements of Jiayi Group, Li Guangyu focused on the upcoming Tianyu Bank, hoping that everyone can cooperate with Tianyu Bank in the future business.

Li Shau Kee did not hesitate at all, and said directly: "Guangyu, you can rest assured, as long as your Tianyu Bank is established, as long as you can transfer money from your bank, the business of our Zhaoji Group will be handed over to your Tianyu Bank." ”

Guo Desheng also immediately said: "Guangyu, our Sun Hung Kai Properties Group is the same, Uncle Guo is very confident in your bank, I believe that in the near future, Tianyu Bank will definitely be able to compete with HSBC Standard Chartered." ”

Li Guangyu said: "Fourth uncle, Uncle Guo, thank you for your trust in our bank, you can rest assured, I have the confidence to develop our Tianyu Bank into an existence comparable to HSBC and Standard Chartered." ”

With the memory of later generations and the financial support of the Lee Group, Li Guangyu is very confident in the development of his own bank, and the only thing he lacks now is the right to issue notes in Hong Kong dollars, and Li Guangyu must find a way to get it in the future.

Later, Chen Xinglin, who has close business ties with Li Guangyu, also spoke, and his Xinglin Knitting Group will also transfer the business to Tianyu Bank.

Li Ka-shing said that he would hand over all the banking business of Cheung Kong Group to Tianyu Bank, but as for Hutchison Whampoa Group, Li Ka-shing did not mention it.

The remaining families all said that in the future, when Tianyu Bank can handle overseas business, they will hand over some of the company's business to Tianyu Bank. After all, many of their families have cooperated with Chinese-funded banks in Xiangjiang themselves, and it is impossible to give up their cooperation there and transfer to Tianyu Bank. For example, the Bank of East Asia and the Asian Commercial Bank, and the Hang Lung Bank of the Chan Tseng-hee family.

Li Guangyu himself did not have the luxury of getting their business in Xiangjiang, Li Guangyu mainly wanted to grab their overseas business, which was basically done by HSBC before, and the current Chinese-funded banks in Xiangjiang are also able to handle overseas business by the Bank of East Asia and Asian Commercial Bank. The Bank of East Asia is mainly located in the treasure island area, while the Asian Commercial Bank is backed by Bangkok Bank, so it can handle business in Thailand.

Li Guangyu is thinking about building Tianyu Bank into a world-class bank, Baodao and Japan are just the first step of his expansion, Lisboa is much simpler, with He Hong's influence there, Li Guangyu wants to establish a branch there more easily. On the Malaysian and Thai side, there is a relationship with Cao Wenjin, and the bank can also be opened, and as for other places, Li Guangyu will slowly open up.

Li Guangyu said: "Thank you for your support, as we all know, our Chinese family has been suppressed by the British-funded consortium for a long time, and in the financial bank, the British-funded consortium is the overlord among them. Fortunately, we Chinese can unite as one, and the Chinese family has slowly developed its own bank, for example, the Bank of East Asia is the leader of our Chinese bank. ”

"At the same time, in terms of exchanges, the establishment of the Far East Exchange also provides a good platform for our Chinese-funded group, so that we can ask for some restrictions on our listing by the British-funded consortium, and the establishment of our Tianyu Bank is to let our Chinese family get rid of the monopoly of HSBC and Standard Chartered in overseas business, so that everyone can have more choices. ”

Everyone is quite happy about the establishment of Li Guangyu Tianyu Bank, which has broken the monopoly of the Hong Kong British-funded Bank on overseas business, and it will be beneficial to them whether they cooperate with Tianyu Bank or not, and they can be used as a bargaining chip for negotiation.
