538. Attention
Huang Bingxin had his own ideas, and he said with a smile, "Mr. Li, I propose to change all the shares of the Development Bank, Communications, and China Merchants and place them under the umbrella of Commerce and Finance Group. So we don't have a big problem working with Goldman Sachs. ”
Li He smiled and asked, "So Goldman Sachs can agree?"
"A few days after we refused, William came to me and made this suggestion. ”
With the development of Sino-US trade, it is imperative to open a branch in the United States, not only to engage in wholesale business, commercial deposits, loans, trade financing, foreign exchange trading and other commercial banking business.
It will also provide financial services to Chinese and local enterprises closely related to China-US economic and trade exchanges, including convenient and efficient trade settlement and financing services for enterprises engaged in China-US trade, as well as tailor-made financial services for high-tech pillar industries such as information technology, biopharmaceuticals and new energy in the United States.
It's a lot of business.
At the same time, Commerce Bank is already at the international advanced level in terms of capital strength and asset quality, and has also made great progress in its operation and management capabilities and risk control level, and is fully capable of conducting business in the United States.
"That couldn't be better. Since he can do this, Li He has no reason to disagree, "It's not a big problem, is it a good relationship?"
The financial industry in the United States has always been open, otherwise there would be no tens of thousands of large and small banks in the United States.
After the 70s, with the deepening of the urbanization process in the United States, the proportion of urban population increased, and the new populism based on the demand for housing credit gradually became the mainstream of society, and the number of commercial banks reached a peak of 14,411 in 1978.
Later, the business scope of the commercial banks was completely identical, "throwing off their arms" to seize the market and do business, being greedy for perfection, blindly making comparisons, and the competition became increasingly fierce, and many people died and merged, but there were still tens of thousands of people.
It is feasible to open branches in all districts.
But opening the door to a bank doesn't mean that opening a bank in the U.S. is a very easy thing to do.
Although Goldman Sachs helps, if he wants to open a branch in the United States, Li He can also estimate the degree of difficulty.
These are two completely different concepts from the previous reliance on contribution to obtain mainland photos in China.
The Bank of China was the first to open a branch overseas, but it also has only one branch in New York, and its main business is remittances and bilateral trade.
Huang Bingxin affirmed, "I have also had exchanges with the US ambassador to China, Rui Xiaojian, who has some ability and has served as an assistant and secretary to two US secretaries of state. He recommended Kissinger & Associates to us, saying that he could help us open up the situation in the United States. The firm is home to influential figures, including former Assistant Secretary of State Lawrence Igbaud and former National Security Adviser General Bronan Scroft. ”
Once high-ranking US officials retire, they always have to make some extra money, and being a political broker is a good career for them.
They are heavily active in Congress and other government departments, forming an out-of-hospital lobby group with American characteristics.
The United States is made up of thousands of different interest groups, each of which has the right to lobby for political decisions in its favor.
Brokers are intermediaries, and the means used are mainly donations to finance politicians' participation in election campaigns or other political activities, as long as the money is not directly sent to politicians and used by politicians for private purposes, this is legal, not bribery.
The alliance between capital and politics has passed through the so-called "revolving door" in the United States, that is, American politicians, business circles, and think tank figures often change roles with each other, and then combine seamlessly.
Not everyone can be a broker, it has to be conditional. Kissinger is a veteran politician, and his personal connections, favors, and political resources accumulated in the past can just come in handy, and he can go to the business world or think tanks to collect high returns.
Therefore, for Chinese enterprises, finding capable think tanks and brokers to lobby the United States is a compulsory course for Chinese companies to go overseas.
Whether it is Huang Bingxin, Yu Dehua, Shen Daoru and others, when the enterprise enters a stable state, their daily task is not to conscientiously do development planning and strategy, but to take the trouble to participate in various cocktail parties and business meetings.
They're either attending a meeting or on their way to a conference every month.
"There should be no problem finding this person, and you don't have to be afraid to spend money. When it comes to Kissinger, Li He is not very excited, he has become numb to celebrities, and if his fortune is announced, he will also be the number one celebrity in the world.
He didn't have the idea of meeting each other, and the reason why he was reluctant to come forward so far was because he was not good at dealing with people, maybe he didn't have that kind of patience, or rather, there were always people in this world who were a head taller than him, and he didn't want to bow his head.
It's better to leave this kind of thing to someone else, and he might as well live with peace of mind by collecting rent and dividends.
"I'll do what you want. Huang Bingxin nodded, and then continued, "Li Chaoren's business in Yantian Port is short of funds, he called me, and I heard that tone that meant to let us buy shares. I want Mr. Shen to talk to him. ”
His main business is bank credit, and he has little interest in holding shares, and it does not conform to the bank's business structure. At present, only Yuanda Investment Group and Yuanda Group are good at investment business, so he recommends Shen Daoru.
"Let Shen Daoru call me. "Li He has no reason to give up the opportunity to take a stake in the port business, although he doesn't understand it, and he doesn't have much interest, but he has no enmity with money, as long as it is an opportunity to make money, he will not let it go.
Yantian Port was also a listed company later, not counting mosquito legs.
After Huang Bingxin left, Li He looked for Shoushan everywhere, but he didn't find it.
Li He asked the hotel manager, "What about Boss Shou?"
The manager replied, "I'm going to Dongguan." ”
"Can't you?" Li He couldn't understand.
"It's said to open a new hotel. The hotel manager can't say what he feels about Shoushan, but he definitely doesn't like it, after all, his peers are enemies, not to mention that this old man actually opened the Four Seas Hotel so close to the Golden Deer Hotel, and at night, the four big words of the "Four Seas Hotel" were too dazzling.
This is definitely affecting their Golden Deer Hotel business!
As a hotel manager, if business is not good in the future, Yu Dehua will trouble him.
He could only sigh, why was he too anxious to fry each other from the same root!
Although he is close to Li He, he can't say this to Li He, so he can only mean that Dehua comes back and talks to Yu Dehua.
Otherwise, it's a skipping report!
This is a big taboo, and it is also an unspoken rule of the workplace that everyone in the workplace should know.
"Go to Dongguan to open a hotel?" Li He didn't hear Shoushan mention.
It can only be said that this old man has too much spare money, and he is wondering if he should get some dividends first.
ps: Uncles, don't "evade the ticket"!
