Culture Oriental Hotel, Presidential Suite:

Niu Bijian and Bao Fuda had already arrived, and the two discussed with each other for a long time, and suddenly, Niu Bijian looked at his watch, frowned and asked, "It's 10 minutes late, what the hell is Xu Zhi and Edus!"

Bao Fuda also subconsciously looked at the door, but there was no movement, so he said, "Maybe there is a traffic jam." ”

Niu Bijian's heart calmed down for a while, thinking about how to convince the two who were about to meet later.

"Knock knock......" There was a knock on the door, as well as the waiter's voice: "Mr. Xu, please inside." ”

Xu Zhi and Yuan Tianfan walked in, and at a glance they saw Niu Bijian and Bao Fuda sitting on the sofa at the window.

"Xu Sheng, where's Mr. Saidus?" asked when Xu Zhi walked over, and Niu Bijian stood up.

Xu Zhidao: "Mr. Edus has something to do temporarily, so he can't come, but he explained, I can represent him with full authority when I come here today." ”

"Does Edus, does he have that power?" asked Newbijian with a frown as some of them sat down.

If Xu Zhi asked Sydes to represent him, that would be no problem, because BEA is privately owned, and all rights and interests are only responsible to Xu Zhi. But not the other way around, Saides's status in the Xiangjiang business community is second only to Shen Bi, but in the final analysis, he also works for Standard Chartered, not to mention the board of directors, but the British headquarters of Standard Chartered, there are many people above his status. Now Hongkong Land owes billions of Hong Kong dollars to Standard Chartered, and Niubijian is also worried that Cydes may not have this right to represent Standard Chartered, let alone let an outsider replace it now.

Xu Zhi took a document from Yuan Tianfan's hand, handed it to Niu Bijian, and said, "Mr. Niu Bijian, I think this document can give you the answer you want!"

"Oh. Niu Bijian took it and looked at it carefully, but soon his face changed: "Unexpectedly, Xu Sheng actually acquired this business of Standard Chartered Bank, it seems that the plan is not light." ”

Bao Fuda was a little confused, and it was only when Niu Bijian gave him the documents that he understood. Hongkong Land spent a total of HK$2.93 billion on the acquisition of the Hilton Hotel and subsequent demolition costs, of which HK$2.5 billion was a loan from Standard Chartered Bank, but it is no longer the case, and the Bank of East Asia bought the loan business, which means that the money is now owed by Hongkong Land to the Bank of East Asia.

Niu Bijian said: "Xu Sheng has spent a lot of money, right?"

Xu Zhi said with a smile: "It's okay, compared to Disney and the 20 billion Hong Kong dollars that are ready to invest in Xiangjiang, this is nothing." ”

Niu Bijian and Bao Fuda suddenly felt bad, and now, the opponents they are facing are too strong, not to mention Xu Zhi's other industries, that is, the net profit announced by Hutchison some time ago, which stunned all Hong Kong people and British-funded foreign banks, including HSBC.

In particular, some British-funded groups are most worried that the tiger's mouth of the Chinese-funded will open its mouth to them again, you know, at this moment, they are facing an economic crisis that occurs once in ten years, but they do not have too strong resistance.

The top management of Jardine Matheson are not too worried, the first is that they think they are impregnable Yizhi mutual control, and the second is that Niu Bijian and others believe that Xu Zhi has bought Disney and taken on billions of dollars in debt, and at the same time has to deal with a large group with serious losses, it is unlikely that too much money will move eastward to Hong Kong.

Even though Hutchison has recently made a fortune in the US stock market and the Hong Kong dollar exchange rate crisis, Xu Zhi has promised to invest 200 Hong Kong dollars to enter the construction industry, although he can rely on financing channels, but he will inevitably have a lot of investment, and this investment is enough to consume Hutchison's huge profits.

However, Niu Bijian never dreamed that Xu Zhi could actually get his company's loan contract from Saides, and if he wanted to convince the British Standard Chartered executives, Xu Zhi had to come up with real cash to succeed.

However, now is not the time to discuss the other party's motives, you can only look at one step at a time, so, Niu Bijian said: "Okay, since this is the case, it will be more convenient, Xu Sheng, I think you should also know that the turmoil of Jianing Group has affected many companies in Xiangjiang, whether it is Hongkong Land or your Bank of East Asia, the Hong Kong government has issued a notice, hoping that we, the affected companies, can fully cooperate and tide over the difficulties together, so I invite you to come today to discuss this matter." ”

Jianing's turmoil has too much impact, in addition to its own stock has fallen into a pile of waste paper, the banks and real estate companies it cooperates with have been impacted, the stock price has fallen, and even some financial institutions have suffered another run, but the Hong Kong government and HSBC will intervene in time to suppress the continued expansion of the turmoil.

The credibility of the Hong Kong government has also been greatly reduced by the turmoil of Jianing, and the turmoil of the Hong Kong dollar exchange rate has not yet passed, and such a shocking scam has been exposed, and the financial regulators of the entire Hong Kong have been seriously suspected by their international counterparts and large international financial institutions.

In order to prevent the entire Xiangjiang economy from being further impacted, the Hong Kong government entrusted HSBC to provide low-interest loan funding to some affected enterprises, and at the same time hoped that the creditors of these companies would be appropriately relaxed in repaying the loans.

However, this is just persuasion, Jianing's fraud is not force majeure in the contract, if the impact is not big, it can also give the Hong Kong government this face, but the Bank of East Asia is facing billions of Hong Kong dollars in loans, and a little looser is at least a loss of 100 million Hong Kong dollars, not to mention, the other party is Jardine Matheson Group, you never know how many hole cards there are behind this first consortium in Xiangjiang, which has been in business for a hundred years.

Xu Zhi said with a smile: "This is natural, I have always been very cooperative with the requirements of the Hong Kong government, and my Bank of East Asia has delayed the loan funds of five small construction companies, and reduced the interest rate, these small enterprises finally received the construction contract of Jianing, and they advanced tens of millions of dollars, but this kind of thing happened." It doesn't matter if their company goes bankrupt, but the hundreds of construction workers below don't get paid, and that's pitiful. ”

Jianing went bankrupt, just looking at the data, the biggest loss may be some large banks, financial institutions or Hongkong Land, the former partners of Jianing Group, who often lost hundreds of millions of dollars or even more.

But in fact, these companies are very large enterprises, and the ability to resist risks is very strong, and with the help of government departments, even if the losses are large, they can survive.

For example, Malaysia's U-Ming Finance, which is one of the largest banks in the country behind it, also has government capital behind it, although it was cheated by Chen Songqing for almost 500 million US dollars, but it has also lived well to the 21st century.

The most affected are those small companies, small enterprises and a large number of construction workers, Chen Songqing's ability to fool, HSBC and the Hong Kong government, which are the opponents of these small enterprises that cooperate with them, not to mention that at that time, Jianing Group was one of the top consortia in Xiangjiang, and most of the construction companies wanted to take over the projects of real estate companies, and most of them could only advance funds in advance.

Not only Jianing, but also Cheung Kong Industrial, Hongkong Land, and Evergrande are all like this, and Party A's father is not called in vain.

After Jianing went bankrupt, how could these small construction companies get back the funds they had advanced, even if Jianing's assets were auctioned off to repay debts in the future, the first priority to repay must be a large institution like HSBC.

After learning that several of the construction companies with which it had cooperated had been cheated, BEA gave them sufficient preferential policies and arranged for these companies to take over part of the construction business of Evergrande and Hutchison to ensure that these companies and the construction workers below could survive the hurdle.

It's just that that's all that can be done for the time being, Jianing's bankruptcy has affected tens of thousands or even more ordinary families, and no one has the ability to cover so many people at one time.

"Yes, no one would have thought that Chen Songqing would actually play such a big scam. Bao Fuda also said next to him: "I don't know how many people will be deceived and bankrupt." ”

Xu Zhi smiled: "Indeed, but with the ability of the Jardine Group, Jianing's influence should be nothing, right?"
