Chapter 578: The Underestimated Dongfanghong Group
In a lavish dining room.
Louis and his entourage sat around a huge long table, served by a beautiful hostess, and enjoyed a sumptuous dinner.
Everyone had a smile on their faces.
They are indeed happy because the business of various banks has obviously picked up a lot in the past few days.
"That Li Yadong, the damn yellow-skinned monkey, thought that if he didn't play cards according to the rules and deliberately raised the deposit interest rate, he would be able to steal our business. This is a good lesson for him, so that he understands what is the most important thing to run a bank. ”
"Yes, a hairy boy who doesn't know anything, still wants to play with us, and he just asks for his own hardship. ”
"Do you think he's crying now? I've already learned that the Dongfanghong Commercial Bank ate duck eggs for two days in a row, and even the previous depositors went to block the door and demand that they return their deposits, saying that they are not trustworthy. ”
"Haha...... Quite possibly, it's just a milky little kid. By the way, do you think he will take the initiative to come to the door to sue for peace? If he comes, will we agree or not?"
"Haha...... Haha......"
Everyone laughed and was very happy, and the eyes of the old man Louis who looked at the first seat were also full of admiration.
What does it mean to be a soldier without blood?
That's it!
Originally, they also suggested that the deposit interest rate should be raised as well, and the loss should not be lost, but nothing more than to make less money.
As a result, Luis directly rejected this suggestion, and it only took a press conference to clean up the other party's life and take care of himself.
Not only that, but while cleaning up the other side, they have also won a good reputation, and now in the hearts of the Soviet people, they are a group of caring bankers who are committed to helping the Soviet Union build a capital market.
At this moment, a man who looked like a butler walked briskly into the dining room, came to the old man Louis, leaned over and whispered something in his ear
"Oh?" Louis frowned instantly.
"Let's go down. ”
After the butler retired, everyone quieted down and looked at Old Man Louis.
"What's the matter, Mr. Louis, is something unpleasant going on?" someone asked.
Louis did not hide it, and said in a deep voice: "That Li Yadong, tomorrow at nine o'clock in the morning, will hold a press conference at the Zaryev Hotel." ”
"Oh?" the crowd frowned in the same way.
"Could it be that the yellow-skinned monkey is ready to fight back against us?"
"It's obvious! I can really endure it, and I endured it for three days before I came up. ”
"yes, I thought he had given up his resistance, and it seems that he was underestimated. ”
"Then the question is, how will he fight back against us, we have to take precautions in advance, so as not to be caught off guard by then. ”
"Yes. ”
Everyone talked about it, each expressing their opinions, and almost all the conceivable results that were unfavorable to them were taken into account.
Of course, they thought so.
"Alright. Louis interrupted everyone with a wave of his hand, and said in a deep voice: "It's too early to talk about this, it's not easy for him to slander us, we have always been steady, but not as aggressive as him." I suspect he's more of a quibble for himself, trying to get the Soviet people to have confidence in their bank, but that doesn't have much of an immediate impact on us, so let's see what he says tomorrow and then we'll make a plan accordingly. ”
"Good. Everyone nodded their heads in agreement.
……
The next day, early in the morning.
Several managers in the base camp, in addition to Li Yadong, as well as Brother Shengli, Uncle Luo, Ah Hua, and Xu Wenjie, dressed up carefully, changed into a straight suit, and after breakfast, they went to the Zaryev Hotel under the escort of bodyguards.
They have been in the Soviet Union for so long and have established two industries, but today is the first time they have been interviewed by the media.
In any case, the image cannot be lost, and the momentum cannot be lost.
It is inevitable that today's battle will smash all the stumbling blocks that block their financial path.
When the group arrived at the hotel, there was still half an hour before the start of the press conference, but a conference hall on the third floor of the Zaryev Hotel was already full of seats.
This is where the press conference takes place.
The media is obviously very concerned about the recent crisis of confidence in Dongfanghong Commercial Bank.
Soon, half an hour passed.
Li Yadong and his entourage walked out of the backstage in turn, and the battle girl held the microphone and introduced their identities in a timely manner.
The long guns and short cannons below, the various cameras flashed non-stop, and the cameras of the TV station also moved with the pace of the crowd.
"Hello everyone, I am Li Yadong, chairman of Dongfanghong Group. ”
The Battle Maiden simultaneously translated his words.
"I believe that the journalists and friends here are very clear about the purpose of our press conference, so I will not go into too much detail on this matter, but only state one point: some public figures, please remember the proportions of future speeches, please do not talk about things that you do not understand, if there is any negative impact on us, we do not mind defending our reputation through judicial channels. ”
"Wow-"
As soon as Li Yadong's words came out, the reporters below were in an uproar.
This is completely blatant scolding Syrah UnionPay, although it is not named, but it is obviously saying: The boss of William Bank, Mr. Louis, has spoken without proportion and without words.
There are already quite a few reporters raising their hands below.
Li Yadong smiled lightly: "Please don't be impatient, journalists, I will give you time to ask questions later, but before that, please give me some time to clarify some things." ”
As he spoke, he waved his hand, and the ten staff members who had already been prepared, holding a bunch of materials in their hands, walked into the press booth and distributed them to each reporter in turn.
It is also because of the limited scientific and technological conditions, otherwise after ten years, a screen and a projector will solve the problem.
"Journalists, friends who have this information in their hands now, is the Asian Wall Street Journal, a facsimile copy of yesterday's newspaper. As for why I am sending this newspaper to you, you will know at a glance. ”
In fact, Li Yadong said that after the information was in hand, a group of reporters couldn't wait to watch it, and everyone was first shocked by a big headline on the front page of the newspaper.
"Seriously underestimated business superstar - Hong Kong Dongfanghong Group!"
Although the newspaper is in English, the organizers have prepared two copies, one in English and one in Russian.
So everyone present can understand it.
As I continued to look down, the expressions on the faces of a group of reporters were very exciting.
In particular, there was one passage that deeply shocked them.
"Dongfanghong Group, a legend in Hong Kong's business community, has risen so fast that it has even exceeded the attention of industry insiders. The group has the power to turn decay into magic, such as a Land Rover brand, which has been losing money in the hands of the British government, but in the hands of this group, through the release of several new models, sales have climbed in Europe, reaching an all-time high, and in Asia, they are also building a huge network of comprehensive coverage, the Land Rover brand was originally worth no more than a billion dollars, but now, at least doubled. And this is just one of the industrial layouts of this group. So, it's a hugely undervalued conglomerate. According to our report, after a thorough calculation of the company's assets and potential, it was concluded that its market capitalization is at least more than $10 billion, and you must understand that it has not yet been listed. If once it is listed, with its miraculous development speed, the market value exceeds 100 billion US dollars, there is no doubt about it, and at that time, it will be enough to join the camp of the world's giant groups!"
"Hundreds of billions of dollars?" the group of reporters below were instantly stupid.
"This multinational group hasn't gone public yet?"
"I see, if it is not listed, then even if its existing assets are only two billion US dollars, it is very remarkable, it is a real two billion. ”
"Two billion, that should be an asset on the surface, you look at the detailed description in this newspaper, if it is true, then this company has unlimited potential, using Land Rover technology to create two new car brands in densely populated China, and it has entered the mass production process, and it will be a money-making machine in the future. ”
"It turns out that this group is so strong!"
