Chapter 953: The First World War Sets Xiangjiang (1) (12,000 per day, please subscribe!~)

"The finances of Rong's investment are extremely healthy, and through the restructuring of these seven banks and the capital injection of Rong's investment, the deposit-to-loan ratio of Kyushu Bank, which is about to be restructured, has also been maintained to a relatively normal figure, and I think the citizens of Xiangjiang should give us some trust in Kyushu Bank. Rong Le replied.

"May I ask Mr. Rong, there is news that although you have been claiming to support and trust Xiangjiang, you took out a large amount of money to invest in Dongying last year, and some experts say that your behavior of 'capital' is more terrible, hypocritical and cunning than Jardine's re-registration!"

The atmosphere at the press conference gradually became tense, and the questions asked gradually became sharper, on weekdays, Rong Le is the chairman of Dynasty Media, the leading media tycoon in Xiangjiang, and all the newspapers and media in Xiangjiang have to give face, but now it is different, and it is difficult to seize a time when Rong Le may suffer, they naturally want to add fuel to the fire.

While every journalist flaunts the so-called freedom of speech, the public has the right to know, and the world is full of love.

But please believe that all journalists want to report on the dark side, and they like to use such behavior to flaunt their greatness, as if everyone in this world is a bad person, only they are righteous people with the stick of social order.

The act of pulling the predator off the altar is their favorite thing to do, so that they can show their authority.

In fact, most of these reporters are doing worse things, interviewing celebrities, pushing the door into people's homes, taking random shots, and then being pushed out of the house by the parties, and then sitting on the ground to sympathize, watching, the news of celebrities beating people comes out, and they are also shaped into fighters who have the courage to face evil forces......

What Rong Le really admires is those real fighters who wander alone on the dark side of the world, who can go deep into the places where AIDS patients live, or into the world's most dangerous horror bases, they are the real fighters, journalists!

Since the issue of the ownership of Xiangjiang was determined, Xiangjiang has set off a trend of relocation, which was the case with Jardine Matheson before, but then it was made out of a so-called capitalist trend by the media of Xiangjiang, in their opinion, since you are a registered company in Xiangjiang, you should invest in Xiangjiang, and take the money earned in Xiangjiang to invest in other cities, which is a traitor.

The most hated by this wind before was Zheng Yutong and Li Chaoren.

Li Chaoren just responded lightly: I don't care, others can say whatever they want.

Zheng Yutong is even simpler, and he is directly silent about this problem, and he is even more indifferent.

Now it's the reporter's turn to ask Rongle.

Rong Le smiled faintly, looked at the reporter who asked the question, and the sign hanging around his neck was the sign of "Oriental Daily", and said: "I remember that I once said that our imperial company will not accept interviews from "Oriental Daily".

"Rongsheng, Xiangjiang is a city of free speech, and our readers have the right to know about you! Please answer my question!" The reporter of the Oriental Daily obviously did not take Rong Le's words to heart, and when he reached the level of Rong Le, he had to deal with the "Oriental Daily", and he was a small reporter, it didn't matter at all, it was a big deal, this family would not be the next family.

"You also said that Xiangjiang is a city of free speech, you have the right to interview, and I naturally have the right to refuse!"

"So, is Mr. Rong admitting his behavior of taking money?" asked a reporter from Oriental Daily.

"Rong's investment only used 7.39 billion Hong Kong dollars to acquire seven banks, if this is to be called capital by your Oriental Daily, I really have to doubt the professionalism of your Oriental Daily?" Rong Le glanced at the other party, wanting to elevate them with himself, the idea is good, but his brain is a little stupid.

After all, no one knows the specific amount of investment in Rongle in Dongying, everyone is more concerned about Rongle's financial situation, as of today, the branches of these seven banks, there are depositors queuing up to withdraw money, if such behavior is not effectively curbed, then it is likely to cause panic among the public, forming a new round of run.

After all, before this, all the citizens of Xiangjiang were surprised by Rongle's series of acquisitions, and now Rongle has stopped its own acquisitions, and everyone's attention is gone, so they naturally put their minds on the bank itself, and Rongle's financial resources are not enough to maintain the operation of all banks now.

I believe that after today's press conference, there will be countless depositors pouring into these seven banks.

You must know that these banks are all problem banks, all of which have different bad debt behaviors, and if there is a problem among them, it is likely to cause a domino reaction and implicate all the banks.

As for Rong Le's statement that the financial situation of Rong's investment is good, it is not credible for reporters at all, unless Rong Le comes up with accurate data, otherwise all this will be illusory in their eyes.

Qiu Degen sat next to Rong Le, and there were only a few people who asked him questions at the entire press conference, and it was just a formulaic question, which made Qiu Degen a little hurt, he was also a famous tycoon in Xiangjiang, but now he was directly ignored.

Looking at the high-spirited Rong Le next to him, Qiu Degen also smiled bitterly, and finally the reason why Qiu Degen agreed to Rong Le's acquisition was that Rong Le promised that after the Far Eastern Bank was acquired, if ATV needed to be upgraded, Rong Le would lend Qiu Degen a sum of money at low interest, and at the same time, if the Far Eastern Bank was not operating well in the future, if Rong Le wanted to sell the Far Eastern Bank, then the Qiu family had the right of first refusal!

This made Qiu Degen agree to sell the Far Eastern Bank, which not only relieved the financial pressure of the Far Eastern Group, but also left a way out for the future......

After a press conference, Rong Le did not care about them anymore, and now the restructuring of the seven banks is imminent, in Rong Le's view, only all the hidden dangers inside are solved, and the response to the outside is much simpler.

Soon, the first restructuring meeting of Kyushu Bank was held in the conference room of Rongshi Investment, which was attended not only by all the senior executives of the original seven banks, but also by everyone in the strategic planning room of Rongshi Investment.

Rong Le has already been to the seven banks he acquired, so he naturally knows very well about the senior management of these banks.

The management of some banks can be retained, such as the senior management of Hang Lung Bank, Dao Heng Bank, Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, and Far Eastern Bank can be completely retained, after all, the problems of these banks are not very serious under their management, and some have gradually improved, even if there are problems, it is because of the problems of the bank's holders, and the management is actually not a big problem.

As for the overseas trust banks, Yongan Bank, and Youlian Bank, it is necessary to change the management on a large scale, especially the management of the overseas trust bank, which has long been made into a miasma by the Zhang family, and it is a disaster to keep it.

However, Rongle has previously said that he will not dismiss any employee of an overseas trust within two years, including the management, and if Rongle changes the management on a large scale now, it is likely to arouse the confidence of Xiangjiang depositors, so Rongle has to adopt a gradual penetration strategy, through a series of means such as the replacement of positions, the overhead of power, the transfer of personnel, the addition of new members, etc., to improve the business strategy of overseas trust banks!

At present, Rongle has acquired seven major banks, including 28 branches of Hang Lung Bank, 39 branches of Overseas Trust Bank and Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, 24 branches of Dao Heng Bank, 10 branches of Yongan Bank, 8 branches of Youlian Bank and 26 branches of Far Eastern Bank.

Now the number of branches owned by the Bank of Kyushu has reached 135, according to statistics, in 1985 in Xiangjiang, the number of licensed banks was 143, the number of branches was 1394, but because of the Haitao shock, the number of branches in Xiangjiang will be reduced in the next year, becoming the third largest banking group in Xiangjiang after HSBC 288 and Bank of China 215, higher than Standard Chartered Bank of 99, Hang Seng Bank of 52!

At the same time, in 1985, the total deposits of the banking industry in Hong Kong were 385.46 billion, and HSBC alone accounted for 45% of the total deposits, about 173.457 billion Hong Kong dollars, which deserved to be the first in Xiangjiang and Hong Kong, and the deposits of Bank of China reached about 69.388 billion Hong Kong dollars!

If all the unfavorable factors of Kyushu Bank Group are discarded, at this time, Kyushu Bank Group occupies 0.97% of the number of branches and 0.81% of the number of deposits, which is already the third largest financial group in Xiangjiang!

Just when Rongle held the first meeting of the Bank of Kyushu in the conference room, there was already a long queue at the door of the branches of seven banks, including the Overseas Trust Bank, and the momentum this time was stronger than before. After the press conference, the bank's problems began to be revealed.

Rongle's acquisition of Far Eastern Bank is like the last straw that overwhelms the depositors of Xiangjiang, they don't care whether the current Kyushu Bank Group is the third largest banking group in Xiangjiang, they only see Rongle's almost crazy acquisition, which makes everyone have a big question mark about Rongle's financial resources.

If everyone had some trust in Rongle before, then now, everyone is worried that Rongle's current investment behavior is a kind of suicidal expansion, the more banks Rongle acquires, it means that the bad debts of their Kyushu Bank Group will also increase, Rongle is not HSBC after all, not Bank of China, they can't believe that Rongle can bear so many bad debts, and they can't believe that Rongle can bear the losses of nearly one billion that these seven banks may generate every year!

Various media newspapers and TV stations have sent their own reporters to these seven banks to shoot, and the emotions will be infectious, and the more this is the case, the more depositors will not be able to believe Rongle.

It can be said that if Rongle can't come up with effective measures, then his Kyushu Bank Group will instantly become a short-lived banking group in Xiangjiang.

Therefore, when Rongle held a joint meeting of seven banks, the team leader of Rongle's secretarial office who served as Rongle's secretary office was already anxious like ants on a hot pot outside the conference room.

In the end, he knocked on the door of the conference room, and Rong Le saw him and motioned for Chen Xihua to go out and ask about something.

After a while, Chen Xihua walked in outside the door of the conference room and told Rong Le about it.

Rong Le frowned slightly, although he thought that the acquisition of Far Eastern Bank would cause some adverse reactions, but he did not expect that the hearts of the citizens of Xiangjiang would be so fragile.

"The meeting is here first, everyone follow me to the head office of the Overseas Trust Bank to have a look!" Rong Le ended the current meeting, although Rong Le hopes to take this opportunity to lead out some ghosts and snakes, but it does not mean that Rong Le will allow his newly established Kyushu Bank Group to have too much run, this degree still has to be grasped!

The senior management of the seven banks obviously guessed the current situation, and everyone's expressions were also very heavy, and no one wanted to have a run on the storm just after being acquired, which was not a good start......

When Rongle's Rolls-Royce came to the head office of the Overseas Trust Bank, he saw that the people queuing up to withdraw money had lined up outside the bank, and Rongle saw such a scene twice, once in 1983, when there was a run on the banking industry in Xiangjiang, and the other was a run on Dafeng Bank in Haojiang.

However, at those two times, Rong Le appeared as a white knight, just like everyone's savior, but now Rong Le has become the person concerned, but I don't know if there will be a white knight this time......

After the depositors saw Rongle's car, they became excited, but fortunately, Rongle had accumulated a huge reputation in Xiangjiang before this, so although everyone was a little excited about Rongle's arrival, there was no rush to surround Rongle.

Rong Le got out of the car, looked at the long queue outside the bank, and walked slowly into the head office with a solemn expression, and the hall manager of the Overseas Trust Bank immediately walked over after seeing Rong Le and reported: "Chairman, as of this afternoon, the Overseas Trust Bank has withdrawn 55 million Hong Kong dollars in cash in one day today!"

Rong Le nodded, looking at the many depositors who were queuing up in the hall to withdraw money, almost none of the people who came to deposit money here were withdrawn money!

"Tell the bank's staff to bring a glass of water to each customer, tell them that the overseas trust bank has sufficient cash reserves and will extend the withdrawal time. Rong Le instructed, Rong Le knew that it was useless to say anything to these depositors now, only to calm down their emotions first, and let them see that Hang Lung Bank had sufficient cash, so that every depositor could get their own money.

In fact, when Rongle acquired other banks, it had already done so, but all the banks that were acquired by Rongle would extend the withdrawal time so that every depositor could get the money they wanted.

Originally, there had been some results before, so that everyone's confidence in Rongle had been restored a little, but it was still said that Rongle's unscrupulous expansion behavior made everyone feel uneasy, maybe they believed that Rongle could take these banks on the right path in the future, but they would not accompany Rongle on the adventure.

Outside the head office of the Overseas Trust Bank, there are also some people watching the situation here, including Guo Lingcan, who was acquired by Rongle and Daoheng Bank, and Qiu Degen of Far Eastern Bank, who are all observing Rongle and want to know how Rongle should deal with the current predicament!
