204 Battle of Hutchison Whampoa (13)

"Damn!" Xu Zhi had just left, Shen Bi angrily pushed a pile of documents to the ground, and the assistant next to him was also startled, standing next to him and not knowing what to do.

"Knock knock knock...... There was a knock on the door, and the general manager of HSBC, Pu Weishi, walked in, saw the documents in the field, and asked, "Chairman, what's going on?"

Shen Bi took a deep breath, looked at the assistant who had followed him for more than ten years, and said, "I'm sorry, I'm out of shape, you can go out first." ”

The assistant hurriedly squatted down and picked up all the documents, and walked out after sorting them out.

Shen Bi said to Pu Weishi: "It's okay, I was holding my breath just now, and I felt a little uncomfortable after a long time!"

Pu Weishi asked: "What happened, I heard that Xu Zhi from Evergrande personally came to our HSBC because of the Hutchison Whampoa matter?"

"That's not all. Shen Bi shook his head and said, and then briefly said what had just happened.

After listening to this, Pu Weishi said: "So that's the case, but I think the problem is still with us HSBC, Xu Zhi seems to make sense, but if you think about it carefully, it's still wrong, although many people in the United States know that we want to buy SITC Bank, but how to say that this matter is also a secret, who will tell Xu Zhi that we HSBC is ready to buy SITC Bank?"

Xu Zhi could indeed find out this kind of thing, but how did he know that there was such a thing first?"

Shen Bi frowned and said, "You mean that someone inside our HSBC has snitched against him?"

Pu Weishi said: "It's just possible, I'm just very strange, after Xu Zhi publicly acquired Cheung Kong Industrial, Li Jiacheng once checked the transaction records of his company's shares, and found that as early as a year ago, there were many accounts secretly buying, and the same is true of Hutchison, which shows that Xu Zhi has been laying out this matter for a long time, and now plus Haifeng was acquired by him first, and he started the two important layouts of HSBC in advance, which is by no means accidental!"

Shen Bi nodded and said: "It makes sense, but the people in charge of these two things are different people, except for a few of us, there are no more than 5 people in HSBC who know about these two things, who will secretly inform Xu Zhi? You must know that more than a year ago, he was just an ordinary rich man." ”

Pu Weishi said: "It is not necessarily that someone leaked it, maybe the information was stolen, and it is not certain yet, so we should keep a low profile and investigate this matter." ”

"Yes, you are responsible for this. Shen Bi nodded.

Pu Weishi said: "Then what should I do now, let Xu Zhi take such a big advantage?"

"Fearless resistance, there is no point. Shen Bi looked outside and said: "SITC Bank is related to the internationalization of HSBC, Xu Zhi grabbed our handle and decided to eat our HSBC, since we lost this game, we will lose, and we can only pay the tuition this time."

In the future, maybe HSBC and him can become business partners, or maybe they are enemies, let's talk about the future later!"

Pu Weishi nodded and said, "It's just a pity that Hutchison's shares." ”

"It's a pity that it's also Li Jiacheng's business. Shen Bi said: "Make an appointment with Li Jiacheng for me, and I want to talk to him in person." ”

......

In the afternoon of the same day, in the same office, Li Jiacheng hurried over.

"Li Sheng, the situation has changed now. Shen Bi didn't explain much, and said directly.

Li Jiacheng asked, "What happened?"

Shen Bi said: "Xu Zhi has something in his hands that HSBC can't refuse, and I have to make an agreement with him. ”

"So, HSBC won't support me anymore?" Li Jiacheng did not change any expression, not even his tone, as if he was saying a trivial matter.

Shen Bi shook his head and said: "No, on the contrary, HSBC will support you more vigorously, but there is nothing that can be done in the matter of Hutchison Whampoa!"

"Understood!" Li Jiacheng didn't ask more, and said: "Mr. Shen Bi, although HSBC no longer supports me, Hutchison is too important to Cheung Kong and I will not give up." ”

Shen Bi said: "Li Sheng, we all underestimate our opponents, if you continue to follow, I'm afraid you will lose even more?"

Li Jiacheng asked, "What do you mean?"

Shen Bi said: "We always thought that Xu Zhi relied on the profits of electronic products and the $250 million he earned from the movie, but at present, the other party's funds far exceed this amount, whether his funds are his own, foreign consortium assistance, or foreign bank loans, in the case of not knowing the details of the other party's funds, are you sure you still have to fight with him?"

Li Jiacheng helped his black-rimmed glasses, frowned and did not speak.

Shen Bi continued: "According to my information, the funds that Xu Zhi can mobilize may be close to 3 billion to 4 billion Hong Kong dollars, so he unscrupulously bought Changjiang and Hutchison shares at a high price.

Li Sheng, even if you can get enough funds in other channels, but have you ever thought about how you should repay so much money in the future, and even if you can repay, how long will it take to pay it off, now Xiangjiang opportunities are everywhere, but time waits for no one, you have wasted a few years, even if you get Hutchison, it may not be cost-effective, not to mention that Xu Zhi is already the major shareholder of Hutchison and Changjiang, if you don't solve this problem now, I'm afraid there will be more things in the future. ”

Li Jiacheng sighed and said, "It's just unwilling!"

"I understand. Shen Bi said: "In terms of ability, you are actually far superior to Xu Zhi, but your funds can't compare to him, and he should have had a layout a long time ago, even our HSBC was calculated by him, and he was unprepared for a sneak attack, this battle was originally unfair." ”

Li Jiacheng said: "There has never been a fair saying in the shopping mall, the lion fighting the rabbit is the truth that can really achieve success, losing is losing, there is nothing to explain." ”

Shen Bi smiled and said: "Okay, this is the Li Jiacheng I know, this failure can be regarded as a reminder of the smooth sailing for you in the past 20 years, and also give me a reminder, you and I are both successful and defeated, we have achieved great success in Xiangjiang, but Xu Zhi's company aims to be global, and after making a global profit, we will return to Xiangjiang, and we will lose in such a daze." ”

Li Jiacheng asked, "What does Mr. Shen Bi mean that we should also go out of the Xiangjiang River?"

Shen Bi said: "HSBC already has a plan, Changjiang Industrial can also consider this matter, but the most important thing at present is to sort out the equity entanglement with Xu Zhi, you have a problem with capital turnover now, since you are ready to make a move and Huang, you have to think clearly about how to maximize profits." ”

Li Jiacheng nodded and said, "I understand, I have to think about this matter again." ”
