After Li Guangyu returned to the Li Building, he found Liu Tianci and Zhou Liang Shuyi to ask them to stop the promotion of the Xiangjiang Monetary Authority and focus on the upcoming men's volleyball world preliminaries.

As for the people in charge of the major newspapers in the outside world, they are not stupid, and the media under Li Guangyu have changed the direction of their reports, so they will not go against the Xiangjiang government. As for those who want to attract people's attention, they can't make any waves.

Li Guangyu then found Yuan Tianfan and Luo Qianwen, and asked them to arrange personnel to go to the Financial Authority as soon as possible to apply for a banking license, and at the same time began to prepare for his bank.

Li Guangyu happily arranged the next work in the back of the building, and after Shen Bi returned to HSBC, he was in a very bad mood, and his face showed that no one was close.

I worked hard to contact the bigwigs of the British-funded consortium to prevent the Li Group from entering the bank, especially I didn't want the Li Group to get the international settlement business, but I didn't expect the Li Group to succeed this time.

Thinking that in the future, all these businesses of the Xiangjiang Chinese-funded Group will flow to the bank of the Li Group, and Shen Bi is unwilling. He has been friends with various Chinese families for more than ten years, and even did not hesitate to help the Chinese-funded group acquire the companies under the British-funded consortium, and he did not want to be ruined because of the establishment of the Li Group Bank.

Shen Bi called the manager of the administration department and instructed him: "You can contact all the Chinese families except Li Guangyu and the He Dong family, as well as the Luo Cheng family and the Cao Wenjin family, and invite them to participate in the HSBC charity auction we will hold tomorrow night. ”

Shen Bi wanted to take advantage of the fact that before the establishment of the Li Group Bank, he would negotiate cooperation with the major Chinese families in Xiangjiang, so that the major families could continue to cooperate with their HSBC Bank in the future.

Among them, Li Ka-shing, Lee Shau Kee, Kwok Tak-sheng and others are the key targets he wants to woo, these are all allies of Li Guangyu, if they all choose to cooperate with HSBC, it will be a big blow to the newly established bank of the Lee Group.

Shen Bi found the manager of the business department and asked him about the repayment of the Li Group. Thinking about this, Shen Bi was even more upset, originally wanted to win over a partner who had been cooperating with HSBC for a long time, but he didn't expect to usher in a hungry wolf in just a few years, and now it is a great threat to HSBC.

The manager of the business department replied: "The first tranche of the Li Group's loan of HK$1 billion will mature in five days, and they have already said that they will return the loan to our bank as soon as the time comes." ”

Shen Bi originally wanted to spread the word that the Li Group owed more than 3 billion Hong Kong dollars to HSBC about the loan that was about to reach the repayment period, causing the public to worry about the Li Group, but considering the Li Group's terrifying profits, he still gave up this idea.

This news had no effect on the Li Group, Shen Bi thought about it as a headache, which large group in Xiangjiang was not tight, for fear that the bank would collect their debts, and always hoped to extend the term of their loans.

And the Li Group definitely has tens of billions of dollars in its hands today, and its own loan is not a matter for the Li Group at all.

At half past seven o'clock in the evening of March 11th, many family heads had come to the Peninsula Hotel one after another, and as the time approached eight o'clock, some tycoons appeared at the Peninsula Hotel.

Many newspaper reporters also reported on the people who came outside the hotel, and waited until the charity auction began, but they did not see Li Guangyu, and then they thought of the establishment of a bank by the Li Group, and understood that the Li family and HSBC were completely strangers.

Inside the Peninsula Hotel, after the auction was completed, Shen Bi began to talk with the tycoons who had come to the meeting. He talked about the friendly cooperation between HSBC and everyone here over the years, and hoped that everyone would continue to cooperate with HSBC in the future.

After Shen Bi finished speaking, none of the tycoons present gave an immediate reply. They are very clear about what has happened in the past few days, except for the fact that the Li Group did not get the right to issue notes in Hong Kong dollars in this confrontation, the other banking businesses will be the same as HSBC and Standard Chartered, and become one of the banks with the most comprehensive business in Hong Kong Bank.

HSBC's intention to invite itself and others to come this time is very obvious, that is, it hopes that the group business of itself and others will continue to be handled by HSBC, rather than transferred to Lee's bank.

Among them, the more difficult ones are Li Ka-shing and Bao Yugang, these two people have the current success, and the help of HSBC is indispensable, you let them leave HSBC, and the business is handed over to Li's bank, and they can't do it.

But if you want to leave it all to HSBC, it is even more unreasonable. Especially Li Ka-shing, whether it is Cheung Kong or Hutchison Whampoa, the Li Group is the second largest shareholder, and both groups have handed over their business to HSBC, but I am afraid that the Li Group will not be willing.

Shen Bi saw that everyone was silent, and the scene was quite embarrassing. So he asked Li Ka-shing: "Mr. Li Ka-shing, I don't know what you think about it? We have always been very happy to cooperate with your subsidiary, Cheung Kong and Hutchison Whampoa, and we hope that we can reach a long-term partnership." ”

Li Ka-shing saw that Shen Bi had already asked himself by name, and if he didn't give an answer, he couldn't say that he had the achievements he had today, and Shen Bi had helped him a lot.

Li Ka-shing said: "Mr. Shen Bi, as you know, these two groups, the Li Group, are the second largest shareholders, and I have to consider their opinions. Therefore, it may be difficult to hand over all the business to HSBC, and I will try my best to keep the business of Hutchison Whampoa and you HSBC in close cooperation. ”

Li Ka-shing can only let Hutchison Whampoa and HSBC cooperate, without HSBC's help, Li Ka-shing will not be able to win Hutchison Whampoa.

Shen Bi is not disappointed that Li Ka-shing is doing this, and the influence of the Li Group in these two groups is not small, and Li Ka-shing can take out Hutchison Whampoa to cooperate with his own HSBC, which is already very good.

Shen Bi then asked Bao Yugang, Bao Yugang got Wharf, and it was HSBC that provided him with a loan of 2 billion Hong Kong dollars, so that they had the financial resources to eat the shares in Li Guangyu's hands, otherwise it is not certain who will belong to Wharf.

Bao Yugang is really difficult to choose, he also hopes that Wharf will go to Japan to open up the market, so that the Li Group can take him down, if the Wharf business does not cooperate with the Li Bank, where will he have the face to seek help from the Li Group.

However, I am also an independent director of HSBC, and if I do not cooperate with HSBC, this matter cannot be explained.

After thinking about it for a while, the charter king said, "Mr. Shen Bi, you really have a problem for me." At this point, the stakes are high and I need to consult with the senior management of the group before making a decision. You can rest assured, our global shipping group business will still cooperate with your HSBC bank, and the Wharf Group business will give you an answer in two days. ”

Later, Shen Bi also asked some other bigwigs, and many of them chose to cooperate with HSBC. Others are to continue to cooperate with HSBC and reserve part of the business to the Li Group, some because of HSBC's favors, and some because they want to be left and right.
