In the afternoon of the same day, Lee Guangyu was in the office after discussing the issue of joint venture with Yulon Group with several senior executives of Bentley Group. Flash Dance

Gan Qin reported to Li Guangyu, "Li Sheng, there has been a notice from HSBC that the two loans of our Li Group on their side will expire in another quarter, and I hope we can be prepared." ”

Li Guangyu knows that this is HSBC and the Li Group are going to officially part ways, and in the future, HSBC and the Li Group will only be competitors. In the past, HSBC didn't care about the Lee Group, but this time, when Lee Guangyu cooperated with HSBC, he brought the Bank of East Asia with him, and let the Lee Group's employees choose the Bank of East Asia, and they knew that the Lee Group had the intention of making a career in the banking industry.

As HSBC, which is bent on being the central bank of Hong Kong, how could it be willing to allow Li Guangyu, a predator, to come in and grab food from them. This time, Shen Bi not only wanted to recover the loan from Li Sheng Group, but also contacted his rival over the years, Standard Chartered Bank, and prepared to give Li Guangyu a head-on blow when Li Guangyu entered the banking industry, so that the Li Group knew that the financial industry in Xiangjiang was still their world.

At this time, in the office of Shen Bi of HSBC, several HSBC executives came here.

One of the senior executives said, "Chairman, we made this call to the Li Group this time, but I am afraid that our relationship with the Li Group will take a sharp turn for the worse in the future." ”

One of the British vice chairmen immediately said, "We, HSBC and the Lee Group, have already had a rift when we were working with the Bank of East Asia. Flashing Li Guangyu is ambitious, his companies span several industries, and he is already the size of a consortium, and the only thing he lacks now is the core bank of the consortium, and this time he is obviously going to enter this industry. ”

The reason why Shen Bi made such a decision was because of this reason, and he still knew a lot about this teenager in the past few years. Li Guangyu is humble and polite to anyone on the surface, and he looks very kind, but he is very domineering in his heart, and he does not allow anyone to touch his own business, and at the same time, every industry wants to become a hegemon.

In the Xiangjiang banking industry, if he Li Guangyu wants to become the hegemon, then HSBC and Standard Chartered are the two stumbling blocks of the Li Group, Li Guangyu will definitely compete with them HSBC, and even step on the corpse of HSBC to take the position, how can Shen Bi be willing.

Shen Bi said, "Since Li Sheng Group has chosen to cooperate with the Bank of East Asia, it shows that Li Group has begun to prepare. Li Guangyu seems to be radical, but in fact, you can find that he has not taken a step to expand outward, and he is fully prepared, whether it is his previous real estate group, automobile group, or even today's supermarket group. ”

The Chinese executive still did not want an important conflict between the Lee Group and HSBC, and now the Lee Group has become the glory of the Chinese consortium in Hong Kong, and this legend, which has developed in just a few years, is leading the Chinese family to conquer the city in the market, so that the Chinese consortium can compete with the British consortium head-on. Flash Dance

As a Chinese, he himself is very happy, so he does not want to face the suppression of HSBC and Standard Chartered, two giants, when the Lee Group Bank has not yet developed well.

I saw him say, "Chairman, I think we are worried too early, the banks of the Li Group have not heard from us yet, how can we compete with our HSBC, I think our biggest enemy is still Standard Chartered Bank, they are the ones we need to focus on,"

Shen Bi will not listen to the advice of this senior executive this time, the reason why HSBC made him a senior executive of the bank is to win over the Chinese family, and it is more conducive to the development of HSBC's business to negotiate with the Chinese family. This time it was not to win over Li Guangyu, Shen Bi still insisted on alliing with Standard Chartered to jointly suppress the Li Group, especially to prevent it from entering the banking industry in Xiangjiang as much as possible.

Shen Bi said: "Li Guangyu can't be looked at with common sense, each of his companies can quickly generate profits, God knows how much impact he will have on us if he breaks into the Hong Kong banking industry." This time, we need to be fully prepared to meet the challenges from the Lee Group. ”

Subsequently, Shen Bi instructed the Chinese executives to contact Li Ka-shing, Bao Yugang and others, hoping to ensure that their business could be handled by HSBC.

As the charter ship king and Li Ka-shing supported by HSBC, Shen Bi is still very confident in retaining the business of their two groups, even if Li Guangyu is the second largest shareholder of Cheung Kong and Hutchison Whampoa, Shen Bi also has some hopes, the Chinese pay attention to the kindness must be repaid, if Bao Yugang and Li Ka-shing turn around this time and transfer the group's business out of HSBC, their reputation will not be very good.

At the same time, Shen Bi said to the vice chairman of the board of directors present: "You contact the Department of Economic Affairs of Hong Kong, try to influence them not to issue a banking license to the Li Group, I will contact some British-funded consortiums to put pressure on the Hong Kong government on the grounds of affecting the financial stability of Hong Kong, and if necessary, we will contact the local side to eliminate the possibility of the Li Group obtaining a banking license." ”

If other Chinese families want to enter the banking world, Shen Bi will pay attention to it at most, and it will move the people like this, but it is really difficult for him to feel at ease with the development of the Li Group. HSBC is the happiest that the Lee Group does not enter the banking world, so that the faster the Lee Group develops, the better, and HSBC can make a lot of profits.

Unfortunately, this finance, especially the banks, is something that every consortium must have. In order to maintain its position in Hong Kong, HSBC had to exclude the Lee Group from the banking industry as much as possible.

One of the senior executives said, "Chairman, this can't stop the Li Group from entering the banking world, the Li Group is not short of funds, they have the strength to directly acquire a large and medium-sized bank in Xiangjiang, we are afraid and can not do anything about it, we can't stop the normal transaction of others." ”

Of course, Shen Bi knows this problem, if he wants to completely block the Li consortium out of the banking world, it is impossible, he just wants to delay some time, bank acquisition is quite troublesome, this is not like getting a banking license, and he can start establishing and operating immediately.

Shen Bi said: "From now on, you should pay more attention to the Li Group's movements in this regard, if they have an acquisition target, we HSBC will also step in, and try to delay their time." It also allows us and Standard Chartered to be more prepared. ”

After listening to Gan Qin's report, Li Guangyu said to Gan Qin, "I know, you reply to HSBC, and our Li Group will definitely repay their loans on the deadline." ”

Gan Qin said, "Okay Li Sheng, I'll go and reply to HSBC." ”

Du Yuemei next to her said, "Li Sheng, it seems that HSBC has begun to guard against us, and we are afraid that it will be difficult for us to get loans from HSBC in the future." ”

Li Guangyu said with a smile: "This is normal, once our Li Group enters the banking industry, it will inevitably impact the current situation of the banking industry in Hong Kong, as the overlord of Hong Kong, HSBC obviously does not want their position to be affected." ”

"Li Sheng, if we want to compete with HSBC, I'm afraid that there is still a little bit of something missing, do you have any plans in this regard?" Du Yuemei asked.

Li Guangyu said: "I have some plans in this regard, you don't have to worry, when the time comes, we will at least be able to sit on an equal footing with HSBC in Xiangjiang." ”
