Niu Bijian thought for a while and said: "Xu Sheng, you don't know Shen Bi's rights in HSBC at all, even if the problems you said become reality, HSBC really lost more than a billion because of this incident, and it may not really be able to move Shen Bi."

I can ask Shen Bi at the board of directors and ask him to explain these things reasonably, but I guess he must have been prepared, and as for impeachment, it is impossible, which will only increase the conflict between Jardine Matheson and HSBC. ”

Xu Zhi nodded and said, "It's okay, I don't expect to be able to do anything to Shen Bi just by relying on this question, and it will be enough to cause a little trouble." ”

Niu Bijian smiled: "I can do this, but Xu Sheng, why should I do this?"

Xu Zhidao: "Then I don't know what I can do for Jardine?"

Niu Bijian smiled lightly: "Bao Fuda will contact Xu Sheng!"

"No problem!" Xu Zhi nodded and agreed, this Newwall scheming is indeed possible, and all the things that are a little risky are left to Bao Fuda to operate......

......

On October 3, a shocking piece of news broke by Oriental Daily, in which more than 10 HSBC shareholders jointly reported to the Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) that he had disregarded the company's interests and sold Hutchison Whampoa to Li Ka-shing, who offered a lower bid.

No matter how high Shen Bi's status in Xiangjiang is, in Xiangjiang, the Independent Commission Against Corruption will report directly to the Governor of Hong Kong, and no other official or business tycoon can influence the Independent Commission Against Corruption, at least not on the surface!

After the Oriental Daily broke the heavy news, countless reporters ran to interview the officials of the Independent Commission Against Corruption, after all, they were reported by many people with their real names, and the content of the report was also reasonable, and the officials of the ICAC could only reply in the face of countless reporters' questions: "This matter is under investigation!"

HSBC Taipan was investigated, this is big news, countless media as if they were splashed with chicken blood to report on the matter, affected by this, HSBC and Cheung Kong stock prices plummeted!

In the HSBC office, Shen Bi looked at the various newspapers in front of him, did not show an angry expression, and asked the assistant beside him, "Have the people who reported it clear?"

The assistant replied: "I found it out, these people are some ordinary office workers in Xiangjiang, half a year ago, I don't know where the funds came from, they started to buy HSBC shares in large quantities, and their families have left Xiangjiang before the real-name report, all this looks like a conspiracy." ”

Shen Bi shook his head and smiled: "It's not a conspiracy, it's a conspiracy, it's just that how did he know that I was going to sell Hutchison shares to Li Jiacheng at a low price, and no more than 5 people in the entire HSBC knew about this matter before it was made public." ”

The assistant asked, "Could it be that someone leaked the information from Cheung Kong?"

Shen Bi shook his head and said: "It shouldn't be, Li Jiacheng is very cautious about this matter, before we determine all kinds of details, he is the only one who knows about the entire Changjiang Industry, but now it seems that this layout against us has started a long time ago!"

The assistant asked: "The ICAC people have already come before, and I prevaricated with the idea that you were in a meeting, but it is not a way to drag it all the time, why don't you contact the Governor?"

"No!" Shen Bi shook his head: "Now the media in the entire Xiangjiang are staring at this matter, even if I can convince the Hong Kong Governor, if he directly gives the order, it will become a joke of the Xiangjiang legal system!

Moreover, Niu Bijian, together with Swire Poetry and Kadoorie, came over to question why HSBC over-lended to Li Ka-shing in violation of regulations, and now wants me to recover the loan, which is really a group of clowns. ”

"Ding ding......" The phone rang, and the assistant walked over and took it: "Hmm...... Yes...... I got it!"

Hearing that the assistant's voice answering the phone was not quite right, Shen Bi asked after the assistant hung up the phone, "What's wrong?"

The assistant replied: "Evergrande Group has just announced that they already hold more than 16.7% of Cheung Kong shares, and at the same time, they will acquire Cheung Kong shares at HK$10 per share, knowing that the acquisition will last until 49.9%!"

"10 Hong Kong dollars?" Shen Bi frowned and said, "This is almost double the current price of Cheung Kong Industrial's shares!"

The assistant said: "Yes, all cash acquisition, anyone who holds the stock can get a check from Standard Chartered Bank, and many people have already run to line up to sell the stock!"

"Now this point is to acquire Cheung Kong Industrial!" Shen Bi smiled lightly: "I see, his purpose is to drain Li Ka-shing's funds, in order to prevent me from further funding Li Ka-shing, he used the Independent Commission Against Corruption to contain HSBC!"

The assistant said, "So what do we do now?"

Shen Bi said with a smile: "This group of people think that this method can make me retreat, it's really naïve, you still contact Li Jiacheng to see what he will do next, and if you still need funds, continue to lend to him." ”

The assistant nodded and replied, "Understood!"

"Wait. Shen Bi stopped the assistant who was about to leave and said, "It's not a way to let the two fight like this anymore, you can help me make an appointment with Bao Yugang, I want to talk to him......"

......

"Haha, why does Bao Sheng have time to come to my side for tea?" Xu Zhi walked to the door of the office and greeted Bao Yugang.

Bao Yugang said with a smile: "Xu Sheng, you have turned the entire Xiangjiang upside down recently, and I am afraid that you will not have time to meet me, an old man?"

"You may be seated. Xu Zhi greeted: "It's nothing, in fact, it was just a normal business layout, but I didn't expect it to accidentally think of a piece with Li Jiacheng and bumped into it, which caused the current situation!"

"That can only say that the two of you have a unique vision, and you have both selected the same high-quality asset!" Bao Yugang smiled and said: "Xu Sheng, I will open the skylight and say something bright, you and Li Sheng are the top figures in the business world among our Chinese, and the future of Xiangjiang must be the world of a group of you, and now for a Hutchison Whampoa, this is not the best choice!"

Xu Zhi said: "Also, could it be that Bao Sheng is ready to come forward for me to persuade Li Jiacheng to give up Hutchison Whampoa?"

"Well......" Bao Yugang was speechless for a while, and then said after a while: "Xu Sheng, I know that I am very unkind, but I still hope that you can give up the acquisition of Hutchison Whampoa, there are many high-quality British assets in Xiangjiang, why do you two have to hang on this tree?"

"Why didn't Bao Sheng say the same thing to Li Jiacheng?" Xu Zhi asked lightly.

Bao Yugang said: "Xu Sheng, Li Jiacheng once transferred the shares of Wharf to me, and I owe him a favor, and I can tell you that at that time, Li Jiacheng asked me to help buy the shares of Hutchison Whampoa from HSBC, and it has been more than a year now, it should be earlier than Xu Sheng You planned Hutchison Whampoa, right?"

Xu Zhi said: "Could it be that Li Jiacheng acquired it earlier, and others should give it up?"

Bao Yugang said: "Although this is not the case, we Chinese should now concentrate our firepower to expel the British capital, and naturally it is better not to start this conflict!"

And I came this time to actually be entrusted by HSBC Shen Bi, there is no right or wrong in this matter, everyone is for their own development, the conflicts and misunderstandings caused by this Shen Bi hope that everyone will take a step back!"

Xu Zhi asked, "How can you take a step back?"

Bao Yugang said with a smile: "Xu Sheng, Li Jiacheng may not make money as fast as you, but his ability to operate the company can also be ranked first in the entire Xiangjiang, what do you think?"

"Yes, I admit it!" Xu Zhi said very directly, from self-made to becoming the richest Chinese man in later generations for more than ten years, and he has made a windfall by relying on several real estate crises in a row, whether it is vision or ability, far more than most businessmen.

Bao Yugang said with a smile: "Shen Bi and I discussed, we came up with a compromise plan, Xu Sheng, you can choose to hold 20% of the shares of Cheung Kong and Hutchison Whampoa, and serve as a director at the same time, and Hutchison Whampoa will be handed over to Li Jiacheng to operate, you can sit back and enjoy the success, how about it?"

"Good plan. Xu Zhi smiled and said, "But I don't agree!"
