Chapter 625: The Four Great Lines
Chapter 625: Four Lines
……
"Boss, this is the receipt of Huaxia Bank, President Zhu said that he will meet you in Modu on time on March 15. … This is a fax of the receipt!"
At the same time that Guo Shouyun took it over, Wu Xiaojing continued: "In addition, Fu Parallel, the head of the Agricultural Bank of China, accompanied No. 1 to go abroad for an inspection and was unable to come to the meeting, so I apologize to you. ”
"Going abroad?" nodded clearly, "Who is the replacement?"
"Vice President Qi Xiaoguang!"
After savoring the name, Guo Shouyun continued: "Have you chosen the meeting place?"
"As per your request for privacy and quiet, we chartered a luxury yacht. At that time, it will depart from the 16 Pu Wharf, cruise the Huangpu River at the same time, and enjoy the night view of the magic capital by the way. In addition, we also invited the most famous Shanghai cuisine chef in the magic capital to ensure the taste of the dinner. The drinks are Moutai and Wuliangye, which are aged for 5 years, and Margaux and Mouton for 92 years. In terms of safety, Matthew has taken the bodyguards to conduct a thorough inspection of the yacht and found no safety hazards. ”
Guo Shouyun nodded, "Has the place to live been arranged?"
"It's been arranged, luxury suites at the Peace Hotel!"
"What about reception?"
"I borrowed some reception staff from Hanhua, Universal, and Matrix in the Modu Branch, led by me and Wang Jue, who are specifically responsible for reception!"
After thinking that there were no other problems, Guo Shouyun nodded.
"So be it, remember, don't make a mistake. ”
"Yes!"
……
It's already mid-March and the magic capital is still cool and breezy at night, but there is a lot less biting cold in this wind, accompanied by a faint moisture hitting the face, which makes people feel comfortable. And in this comfortable evening breeze, enjoying the night view of the magic city is a pleasure for most people!
"Neon shining, Ambilight, it seems that the magic capital has developed very quickly in recent years! In just half a year, the scenery of the city center has changed again!" Zhu Guangshi, president of Hua~Xia Bank, who was wearing a black suit, had a broad forehead and a smile on his face.
"After all, the magic capital is the economic center of the country! Coupled with the geographical location and policy support, it is a matter of course that the rapid development is also a matter of course. … But I'm more curious about what Mr. Guo did when he invited us here than in the magic capital?"
It was Xie Pengcheng, president of China Construction Bank, who spoke, who was not tall in his hometown of Xia~men, Fujian Province, and looked very energetic with a board inch, but the corners of his mouth and his unsmiling expression made him look a little serious.
"Recently, Phoenix Bank has been talking to us about cooperation, hoping to get the original shares and listing underwriting rights, as the helmsman behind Phoenix Bank, Guo Shouyun personally came forward to invite us, eighty percent for this!" Qi Xiaoguang said.
Although he is only the vice president of the Agricultural Bank of China, he is a veteran of the four. He has worked in the banking system all his life. Although he is not as good as the three peers around him in terms of rank, he is the most respected of the four!
"It's a possibility. But Bruce Guo has been in the magic capital for nearly two months, why didn't he look for us before, but waited until now?" said Zhou Peide, president of ICBC.
"You still don't have to bother with this god, when we meet, the mystery will naturally be revealed!" Xie Pengcheng said.
"Yes!"
The other three nodded in agreement.
"I've always heard of this Mr. Guo's great name, and this time I can finally see it with my own eyes!" Qi Xiaoguang said.
"Half of the purpose of my coming here this time is for this!"
Zhu Guangshi's words caused the other three to nod their heads in unison! Guo Shouyun, who rose like a comet in more than four years, was not only curious by Americans. In Huaxia, there are countless people who are very curious about him because of his Chinese identity!
"Four presidents, our boss has arrived, please come with me!" Wang Jue walked over and said respectfully.
"Lead the way!"
"Please!"
When she led everyone to the side of the yacht parked at the dock, Guo Shouyun also brought Stephen Bryan and Zhang Lei to greet her.
"Four presidents, thank you for being able to come to the banquet at the invitation of Guo, it is really an honor!"
After the four of them exchanged glances, Qi Xiaoguang took the first step and said: "You're welcome! We are also very curious about Mr. Guo, who founded well-known enterprises such as Ruby, Matrix Group, and Phoenix Bank, and has a net worth of tens of billions of dollars in the global business and financial markets. Even if we don't have your invitation, and we know that you are in the magic capital, we will take the initiative to visit!"
Zhu Guangshi and the three of them also nodded in agreement.
"Governor Qi is polite! Let me introduce... This is Stephen Bryan, CEO of Phoenix Bank;... This is Zhang Lei, CEO of Hanhua Holding Group!"
"We have long heard about the reputation of Phoenix and Hanhua, and we have also been famous for a long time, so it is an honor to meet here today!"
"You're welcome, it's also my honor to be able to meet the ranks!"
After greeting each other politely, under the leadership of Guo Shouyun, they embarked on the yacht he specially prepared. Because today's people are either rich or expensive, the size of the yacht certainly cannot be petty.
The Legend, a 50-metre yacht built by Italy's second largest luxury yacht manufacturer, was chartered by him!
In fact, with his current net worth, buying a yacht is a breeze. But a yacht is different from a private jet, which he needs to use often. The former is just a luxury item for rest and play! Not only can it not appreciate, but it always depreciates! For Guo Shouyun, who doesn't need it once or twice a year, buying a yacht and putting it there to get moldy is really contrary to his full knowledge of financial management and investment.
In Guo Shouyun's opinion, when you need it, it is enough to rent one, and it is not expensive anyway!
The Legend's aft deck is huge, and it's easy to sit down with a round table and seven chairs!
"A few of you, please take a seat, tonight I specially invited the famous chef of Shanghai cuisine from Tang Pavilion to cook for us, and also prepared aged Moutai and 92-year-old Bordeaux red wine, under this quiet night, we can enjoy the sparkle of the Huangpu River and the magic capital, enjoy delicious wine and food!" Guo Shouyun, as the host, said.
Sitting on a yacht, enjoying the scenery and tasting wine at the same time, it is more flavorful than sitting in a hotel box!" Xie Pengcheng said with a smile.
The others nodded in agreement.
"Mr. Guo, good food and wine, sultry night is good. But I'm an anxious person, can you briefly explain the purpose of inviting us here, otherwise this delicious food will be tasteless in your mouth, and you will waste things in vain!" Zhu Guangshi said.
"Lao Zhu's words have come to my heart!Mr. Guo, I also want to know the purpose of inviting us here today more than eating?" Qi Xiaoguang said.
Guo Shouyun smiled, and his gaze quickly swept over the four of them.
"Looking at the faces of several gentlemen, if I don't explain it in advance, I'm afraid today's meal won't be delicious!" After a pause, "It's okay, since you want to hear it, I'll talk about it briefly." ”
“… The 'Delong case' that has been in turmoil in China recently, I think all four of you should have heard of it, right?"
The four of them exchanged glances, and each of them could see a trace of surprise in their eyes! They all thought that Guo Shouyun would ask for the original shares and listing underwriting rights of the four major banks, but they never confided in each other that it was Delong who 'couldn't beat the eight poles'!
"The amount of money involved in the Delong Group is huge, and even the central government is alarmed. It is impossible for us not to know ... However, I didn't expect Mr. Guo to be so interested in this?" Xie Pengcheng said.
Facing a pair of inquiring eyes, Guo Shouyun smiled: "I am indeed a little interested." Although Delong Group is in the eyes of the short, but the industry is still very good, and the direction is also very accurate, the only pity is that the Tang brothers care too much about finance, negligent investment and management of the industry, otherwise it would not be where it is today!"
"Mr. Guo wants to annex Delong?" Qi Xiaoguang suddenly asked.
"It does mean this, but before that, there are still a few conditions that need to be improved!" Guo Shouyun nodded and said.
"Oh, I don't know what the conditions are?" Zhou Peide asked.
"Delong Group owes 16.3 billion yuan in loans to the banks where it is listed. Among them, ICBC 5.7 billion, Agricultural Bank of China 2.8 billion, Huaxia Bank 4.3 billion, and China Construction Bank 3.9 billion. Although the four major bankers have a big business, 16.3 billion Huaxia yuan is not a small amount, if it becomes a bad debt, I am afraid that the financial reports of the banks under their management this year will be negative again!"
"The matter is not as serious as Mr. Guo thought, even if Delong does not repay the loan of 16.3 billion Huaxia yuan, after the auction of Delong's assets, this hole can be closed. Xie Pengcheng said.
"President Xie is too optimistic. Delong owes not only the four major banks, but also its 19 financial institutions that owe nearly 200 companies and more than 700 people nearly 13 billion Chinese dollars. In addition, the funds it owes to financial institutions such as Guangfa Bank and Shenzhen Development Bank, Delong's money loophole is close to 35 billion Huaxia dollars! After Delong collapsed, it smashed the pot and sold iron, and it would be good if it could repay 15 billion yuan. The remaining 20 billion Huaxia coins, if no one takes over, each family can only consider themselves unlucky. … Even if it's the Big Four, it's the same!"
The four of them were all old fritters, and after a moment of silence after listening to it, Zhou Peide asked: "Since Mr. Guo took the initiative to mention this problem, I think there is a solution!"
Guo Shouyun smiled faintly, "I do have some solutions. Now it is said for the sake of four references... I take Delong, and I will pay for the money that Delong owes to the four major banks. However, I will not give you this money immediately, but change the form: 16.3 billion Huaxia yuan of funds, the right to be the wealth management funds placed in Delong by the four major banks, I will give the listed 7.5% annual guaranteed income, and after five years, the principal and interest will be repaid in a lump sum... In exchange, GCA and GCA will receive 15% of the original shares of the Big Four banks and a seat on the board of directors, and when the Big Four banks are listed, Phoenix and GCA will automatically become your listed underwriters and will be qualified to underwrite at least 50% of the shares!"
"Mr. Guo's appetite is really amazing!"
They are all elites who have been trained in half a lifetime, Guo Shouyun's conditions are staggering, but it didn't make Xie Pengcheng lose their cool!
"16.3 billion Huaxia dollars, 7.5% guaranteed income, 5 years later, it will be 19.6 billion Huaxia dollars. If it weren't for my intervention, your money would have caused at least 12 billion Huaxia Coins to be written down, which is 31.6 billion Huaxia Coins this time... I helped you earn 31.6 billion Chinese dollars, and now you only need 15% of the original shares and 50% of the IPO stock underwriting, is that an amazing appetite? I think it's much better than Morgan, HSBC, Citigroup, and Goldman Sachs, right?"
After the four exchanged glances, Zhou Peide said: "Mr. Guo, after eating so much at once, aren't you afraid that Morgan and Citi will be jealous behind their backs and hinder the development of Phoenix and Hanhua?"
Guo Shouyun smiled indifferently, "If I were really afraid, Phoenix, Hanhua, and even Matrix, Ruby, etc., would not be where they are today." And I wouldn't be there now!"
However, although your terms are attractive, the conditions of Morgan, HSBC, and Citi are also not something we can give up. In addition, in order to ensure absolute control, whether it is financing or IPO, we cannot transfer too much equity, so we cannot agree to Mr. Guo's conditions!" Qi Xiaoguang said.
Guo Shouyun nodded, he had expected long before he started that if he only used money, he was afraid that it would be difficult to get what he wanted. After all, behind the four major banks with financial hegemony is the state!
"What if I exchange it for equity?" Guo Shouyun said slowly.
The eyes of the four lit up, and Zhu Guangshi quickly said: "What does Mr. Guo mean is the equity of Phoenix and Hanhua?"
"No, it's only Hanhua!"
Guo Shouyun shook his head.
Phoenix's roots are in the United States, and Hanhua's roots are in China. When neither side has been listed, it is not easy for the names of the four major banks to appear in Phoenix's shareholder list. GCA is very suitable for introduction, and with the equity of the four major banks, it will also help GCA expand its business in the mainland!
"How many shares of GCA does Mr. Guo plan to transfer?"
Although it is somewhat disappointing not to be able to get the original shares of Phoenix, if you can get the original shares of Hanhua, the leading and fastest-growing comprehensive financial group in East Asia, it is worth a thousand gold!
"According to your conditions, no more than 3% per family!"
"Mr. Guo, 3% seems to be too little, right? You're planning to take 15% from us!" Zhou Peide said.
"President Zhou, you seem to have forgotten my previous exchange conditions of more than 30 billion Huaxia coins!" Guo Shouyun said calmly.
Zhou Peide didn't feel embarrassed at all, smiled and didn't continue!
After the four of them exchanged glances again, Qi Xiaoguang said, "Mr. Guo, you know. Our four major banks all belong to the state, and any decision must be made by a board of directors and voted on. So, we can't give you an exact answer today!"
"I understand. Today we are just a brief chat, and it is not too late to tell me when you have discussed it! I can afford to wait!"
