Chapter 583: The Golden Wind Has Not Moved
When Li Guobao came back, he saw Li Fuzhao standing in front of the window in a daze.
By this time, it was dark, and the sky was even more drizzling, except for the neon lights of the tall buildings.
Hong Kong Island Central, as the center of Hong Kong's international financial center, is home to more than 100 banks from all over the world.
High-rise buildings of various styles stand side by side, like opponents in the boxing ring, all kinds of the latest and most modern cars shuttle through the streets, as if famous cars are on display, all kinds of ultra-luxury decoration boutiques and jewelry stores stand side by side, trying to empty the wallets of those high rollers, and adventurers of all colors come here with money and dreams,......
Every upheaval here, or a message, or even a phone call, can touch the economic nerves of every corner of the East and the West at any time.
No wonder some people call this place the Oriental Wall Street, in Li Fuzhao's view, it is still a little past now, but the future can be expected.
And now, on this weekend evening, Central in the rain is unusually quiet. Through the rain and fog, I saw that the city was very different from the past, and instead of the vitality of the day, there was a kind of vague decadence.
Wan Chai, just one stop away, and Tsim Sha Tsui East, across the sea, have countless nightclubs that are opening their doors, waiting for those entertainers.
Looking south, there is a large plot of land on Kennedy Road that is owned by the Li family, and it is also hidden in the night at this time.
"Uncle Zhao. It's time to eat!" Li Guobao called out softly.
"I thought about it for a while, but I didn't have much appetite. Let's make a bowl of rock sugar pear bird's nest soup later!"
Hearing Li Fuzhao's dessert, Li Guobao's expression froze.
"What's wrong?"
"It's fine. ”
"If you have something, just say it!" Li Fuzhao snorted heavily, and in the afternoon, it was Li Guobao who hid too much information and didn't tell him, so there was the scene later,...... So far, he hasn't figured out whether this is a good thing or a bad thing.
"Last night, I went to the printing house to meet him, and he saw that I had a stomach problem, so he said that there was a lot of bacteria in this bird's nest, and it was something to be eaten. Li Guobao thought about it and coughed lightly, "Say it's the swallow's phlegm ......."
Li Fuzhao frowned: "Then forget it." ”
That kid is used to disgusting people, and I don't know if he really has no tutor or if he really has this exquisiteness!
"How about red bean porridge?"
"Yes. Li Fuzhao shook his head slightly, if he was too particular, this small intestine could not be eaten.
Li Guobao picked up the phone and ordered, people like them can eat whatever they want, like now, if they have a heart, they can't eat a bunch of big meals, so it's better to get some porridge to fill their stomachs.
Putting down the phone, Li Guobao touched his stomach.
Li Fuzhao sighed softly, in the past few decades, the economy of Xiangjiang has been improving, land prices have skyrocketed, and as long as you own half an acre of land in Central, you will be a billionaire.
Two years ago, the Sino-British negotiations broke down, and I don't know how much wealth in Xiangjiang turned into ashes, and the Li family's property alone fell by more than a billion yuan.
"Uncle Zhao, you may have that spirali too. Li Guobao walked to the sofa, peeled off a pill and water and swallowed it, "Why don't you take one too?"
"He didn't say that I had this disease, what kind of medicine to take!"
Li Fuzhao snorted and didn't look back: "It seems that this matter has to be on the top and on the top, and it has to be on the other, only whether it is happy or not!"
"Hmm!" Li Guobao picked up the cup and walked to the window and handed it to Li Fuzhao, "Uncle Zhao, do you mean cooperation?"
"What else can it be, you're right, that kid is not simple, it's really hard to say who is cheap to talk about, it's good for him, it's good for us, but if we don't do it, in your opinion, what will happen to him?"
“......”
"If the child asks for something, if you don't give it, it will definitely make a lot of noise, but you can fight a dozen of your own, and it's not easy for other people to start......" Li Fuzhao said to himself with feeling.
Li Guobao smiled bitterly: "Uncle Zhao, this is not only from other families, but also from the leadership family." ”
Li Fuzhao laughed out loud: "That's true, but we don't know which one! After offending, I can't come back if I want to round the field, strange, how can you bump into such a character?"
Li Guobao's cheek twitched unnaturally: "I think he is now a child with a knife, don't mess with it if you can't mess with it." ”
"Children hold gold, children hold knives...... With a carrot in one hand and a big stick in the other, this person's future is limitless,......" Li Fuzhao sighed softly.
The jingle bell is another crisp phone ring.
Li Guobao walked over and picked it up, whispered a few words, and put it down with a surprised expression.
"What's wrong?"
"The phone number of Jincheng Bank, Zhou Mingcai wants to make an appointment with me. ”
Li Fuzhao turned around: "What do you say?"
"I said tomorrow morning!" Li Guobao sat down slowly.
Li Fuzhao's mind turned quickly: "You didn't ask Li Yiming why he didn't let the Bank of China Group handle this free plan?"
"At that time, I just wanted to do it directly, so I didn't ask about it. Li Guobao frowned.
First the Huaxin News Agency called to make an appointment, and now it is someone from Jincheng Bank.
Jincheng Bank is also a veteran bank, known as the North Fourth Bank during the Republic of China, and later changed to a public-private partnership, and is now part of the Bank of China Group, and its business is only in Xiangjiang.
"The golden wind is not moving, and the cicada is unconscious, and the impermanence of the secret is not known ......" Li Fuzhao stroked his hair and unconsciously chanted a poem.
Li Guobao looked at his uncle speechlessly, he also knew the meaning of this, one of the seven words of the famous and virtuous collection, the next sentence is that the green mountains will only be bright and ancient, how can the green water wash right and wrong?
Isn't the most painful thing for the Li family to maintain the history of Xiangjiang back then?
But from the perspective of the mainland, getting too close to the British is not a good thing.
No wonder Li Yiming has never had a good face for himself, he must have known a lot of inside information, Li Guobao thought of this, and sighed in his heart that he was unlucky, it was really difficult to tell clearly whether this was right or wrong.
Of course, Li Fuzhao may not mean that at all.
Maybe it's that Jincheng Bank called, will this Bank of China Group be far away?
If we talk about the strength of branches, the Bank of China Group, which unites 14 banks, has surpassed East Asia in terms of strength.
Why did Li Yiming choose East Asia at that time, and was it more convenient to find Bank of China?
The Bank of China Group was established the year before last and is a banking institution prepared to take over the financial sector of Hong Kong.
Its members are known as the Sonnets of Xiangjiang.
These sonnets are not classical sonnets, but 14 banks operating in Hong Kong: Bank of China Hong Kong Branch, Jincheng Bank, Bank of Guangdong Province, Yanye Bank, Bank of Communications, Nanyang Commercial Bank, Chiyu Bank, Po Sang Bank, OCBC Commercial Bank, Zhejiang Industrial Bank, Zhongnan Bank, Xinhua Bank, Guohua Commercial Bank and Bank of China Macau Branch.
In addition to the Fourteen Banks, there are also China Construction Finance (Hong Kong) Co., Ltd. and China Construction Investment (Hong Kong) Co., Ltd.
Li Guobao carefully recalled all the events that happened yesterday, and finally found that this plan was really grabbed by his "hard work".
"Yesterday afternoon, Li Yiming followed the delegation to Xiangjiang and went directly to the printing factory, when we were about to take back the Rongguang factory, not that Li Yiming wanted to find us. Li Guobao said slowly.
Li Fuzhao frowned and looked out the window, listening to Li Guobao's words, and was silent for a long time.
"I can't tell you what is going on in the mainland, maybe they also have two preparations, one is that our Li family has a lot of appeal in Xiangjiang, and it is better for us to start, and on the other hand, they are also ready for the Bank of China in the medium term to intervene in the issuance together!" Li Guobao said softly.
"That's how it should be!"
"Now it seems that Li Yiming has not agreed to many things for a long time, and it is precisely because the Bank of China has other preparations in the future, if we don't start it quickly, they should not start selling this free plan until tomorrow!"
"But if the Bank of China is making money, what good will it do to Li Yiming?" Li Fuzhao muttered to himself, a flash of brilliance flashed in his eyes, "Looking for us in East Asia, only then can he show his ability!"
"Uncle Zhao, are you saying that he also deliberately did not look for the Bank of China?"
"I'll have to ask him about this, and when I come back, we'll see how he reacts. On the surface, the strength of the Bank of China looks good, but it also has its own problems. Li Fuzhao exhaled, feeling that he was so tired, and turned his head to look at Li Guobao.
Li Guobao spread his hands: "Anyway, I have already pushed it, every time this plan is delayed, our funds will be abundant, and these funds often come from other banks, which is really beneficial to us......
Today I have given the merger plan to the six banks, and if they agree, we can start with this plan,...... If you don't agree, just withdraw the funds!"
Li Fuzhao nodded, the strength of the Bank of East Asia far exceeds that of these small banks, not because of the number of outlets, but because these outlets are their own properties, and their financial strength is very strong, and they will not be unable to maintain because someone has withdrawn loans.
"It's better to push it until tomorrow. Li Fuzhao turned his head and looked to the east, there was a large construction site, one was the new HSBC building, which was basically completed, and the other was the Bank of China Building, which was still only the foundation.
"The Bank of China asked the Kumagai gumi to build that building, right?"
"Yes, it was their Xiangjiang Company that won the bid. Li Guobao casually replied that the Kumagai Group is the largest construction contractor in Yuben, and there are too many projects in Xiangjiang that have been handed over to this company to build.
"In the past few years, the mainland and the book have a very close relationship, but there has been something wrong since last year, and now it ......" Li Fuzhao snorted twice, remembering that Li Yiming wanted to buy the book at cost price, what was the intention.
Li Guobao nodded, he knew that this was Li Fuzhao reminding himself: "I will ask when I have time." ”
"This matter should be cautious and not careless!" Li Fuzhao solemnly instructed, "no matter what, it must not affect my matter." ”
"Uncle Zhao, don't worry, I know the severity!"
Li Guobao nodded, the countdown to the return of the twelve years, all the families in Xiangjiang are laying out, the British and Chinese are laying out the general trend, and these wealthy families can only follow the trend.
As long as Li Fuzhao can sit in that position, the next strategic maneuver space will be large, it can be said that both eyes are alive in the middle of the game, and the north can join the mainland development, and the overseas can also be calmly arranged, and there is no need to nest in this small Xiangjiang.
