The timing of this investment is indeed a bit unpleasant, but the Li consortium expects to win the right to issue notes in Hong Kong dollars during this period, so it chooses to take this right during this period.

Now is also the only chance for their Li consortium, once next month, Tianyu Bank wants to get the right to issue notes in Hong Kong dollars, the chance is very small.

If you want to buy HSBC and Standard Chartered, there are also a lot of troubles, and there are many interests involved, and the British government will not let other forces absolutely control these two banks unless it is absolutely necessary.

For example, although he is the largest individual shareholder of Standard Chartered Bank, Standard Chartered Bank is still firmly in the hands of the British, and Khoo Teck Puat has no decision on Standard Chartered Bank at all.

A reporter from the Hong Kong Economic News asked: "Ms. Li, many English newspapers today speak highly of the current financial situation in Hong Kong, and at the same time say that the new force becoming the right to issue Hong Kong dollar notes will only make the financial situation in Hong Kong more turbulent, which is not conducive to the financial stability and economic development of Hong Kong, I don't know what you think?"

Li Xuemei said with a smile: "I don't know what these newspapers and commentators are based on to make a judgment, but when the financial situation in Xiangjiang fluctuated last year, we Tianyu Bank have been working hard to maintain the stability of the financial situation in Xiangjiang, but the two major banks that are the right to issue Hong Kong dollars in Hong Kong dollars are sweeping up the snow on their own, ignoring the difficulties of small and medium-sized banks and financial institutions in Xiangjiang, and we have not seen these two banknotes issuing banks make any contribution in this round of currency crisis." ”

In the economic development of Hong Kong, HSBC and Standard Chartered have not contributed, this is certain, but their two major banks have contributed little and made more profits, and they will not take into account the interests of Chinese banks.

Whenever there is a financial crisis, these two major banks will not help the Chinese banks through the crisis, they are more willing to eat these banks in the crisis, such as the current Hang Seng Bank was eaten by HSBC.

Journalists' favorite topics are these topics, this time the Li consortium is obviously on the same page with HSBC and Standard Chartered again, so that they will no longer lack coverage, and these are all well-known enterprises in Xiangjiang, and the citizens of Xiangjiang are very interested in this, and they are not worried that the newspaper has no sales.

As long as the Li consortium does not win the right to issue Hong Kong dollars for a day, the battle will not come to an end.

A reporter from Sing Tao Daily asked: "Ms. Li, I don't know what you think of Xiangjiang, you suddenly made such a heavy bet in London this time, I wonder if you have any exclusive information to reveal to us?"

These reporters will not think that the Li consortium is stupid, and before the situation is clear, they ran over there to place bets, and it must be that the Li consortium has specific information, so they dare to go there to make large-scale investments.

And this investment is likely not to affect their development in the mainland, otherwise the Li consortium would not be so calm, the Li consortium's investment in the mainland is still expanding, and there is no news that it wants to withdraw from the mainland market.

They also hope to be able to grasp the news earlier, so that they can be prepared for future development, and they can also make choices earlier.

Li Xuemei replied: "We don't have much information, but Xiangjiang is peaceful and stable, and there is no need to worry about it after returning to the mainland, there will be no change in the economic system on our side, and with the support of the mainland market, Xiangjiang's future development will only get better and better." ”

The reporters have already gotten a lot of news from Li Xuemei's words, and it seems that the return of Xiangjiang to the mainland has become a foregone conclusion, and it is estimated that the Xiangjiang negotiations have come to an end.

It is no wonder that Li Guangyu will choose to return to his hometown in Sichuan and Shu Province and go to England this month, and now he does not need to face some difficult questions for him to answer, and he does not need to be in a dilemma on some matters.

Due to the Xiangjiang issue, Li Guangyu never returned to his hometown in Sichuan and Shu Province and went to England for more than four years, just to avoid affecting the development of the Li consortium.

The scope of the Li consortium's market is too large, and no matter which region the market is lost, the Li consortium is a little difficult to accept.

Only when the Xiangjiang issue is settled, Li Guangyu can rest assured that he will go to various places, so that there will be no turmoil, and all forces will not deliberately embarrass the Li consortium.

Li Xuemei's press conference not only had reporters from various newspapers, but also the Xiangjiang Jiayi News Channel broadcast the whole process, and some of the other two TV stations in Xiangjiang also recorded videos and broadcast them in the news file.

Governor Youde also received news from the British government, asking the Executive Bureau and the Monetary Authority to approve Tianyu Bank to become the third bank with the right to issue Hong Kong dollars.

Yesterday, too, he met with Stick Shodalan and George Lavin, who asked him not to approve Tianyu Bank's right to issue Hong Kong dollars, and gave him a whole host of reasons.

You Tak himself doesn't care, plus he also wants the Lee Consortium and the Heung Kong Consortium to invest in the subway from Hung Hom to Tin Shui Wai, and at this time he is also willing to sell the Lee Consortium a favor.

Besides, the British side has already agreed, and if he doesn't agree, it is estimated that there will be no small trouble at that time.

With the increasing investment of the Lee consortium in the UK and its growing influence in the UK, especially with the Conservative Party led by the Prime Minister, Youde also hopes to be closer to the UK, and he does not want to offend the Lee consortium.

Now the Lee consortium owns or will soon own three wholly-owned holding groups and companies in the UK, with a market value of more than $10 billion, and the power of these three groups and companies is very terrifying in the UK, not to mention the support of the Lee consortium behind.

Moreover, Youde believes that the Li consortium is one of the forces that have gained the most benefits in this negotiation on the Xiangjiang issue, and several leaps in the development of the Li consortium are due to several financial crises in Xiangjiang, which allowed them to discover the opportunities in it and obtain very rich profits.

Youde knows very well that from next month onwards, Xiangjiang will no longer be their master.

As for the interests of HSBC and Standard Chartered Bank, this is not something he needs to consider, even the British government has given up, and Youde will not care.

Now he needs to conscientiously carry out the orders of the British high-level, and strive to return to the headquarters after the end of this term, and there is no future in Hong Kong for a long time.

As an ambitious politician, Youde knew very well that in England, if he wanted to sit in a high position, it would be impossible without the support of a consortium.

The Lee Consortium's influence and influence in the UK are growing, and this is a very good collaborator, and Youde hopes to maintain a good friendship with the Lee Consortium.

The reason why he proposed to build a high-tech park and a subway project in Tin Shui Wai this time was also to sell well to the Li consortium and make the Li consortium feel his goodwill.

Youde said to Xia Dingming, the financial authority who came to report: "Don't be in the public opinion of the unexpected world, since the British side has conveyed the decision, we must seriously implement it, you must know that we will not stay in Xiangjiang for long, only by letting the British side pay attention, we can be transferred back, since HSBC and Standard Chartered have no ability to influence the decision of the local side, then we cannot be blamed for not taking their interests into account." ”

Xia Dingming saw that Youde firmly supported Tianyu Bank's right to issue Hong Kong dollars, and he could only carry out Youde's orders, as for the requests of HSBC and Standard Chartered, he said that he could not do anything.
