Chapter 965: The First Battle of Xiangjiang (End)

"Rongsheng, cooperate more in the future!" Shen Bi smiled and shook hands with Rong Le!

"Please take care of Mr. Shen Bi in the future!" Rong Le's smile seemed to others to be a smile full of victory and joy.

However, they know that Rong Le has this capital to show this smile, today's battle, completely established Rong Le's position in the Xiangjiang banking industry, no one will doubt Kyushu Bank Group anymore, HSBC Taipan Shen Bi personally came to the platform, played the role of the sea needle, and the Chinese consortium behind Rong Le is to inject confidence into the future of Kyushu Bank Group.

After today, Kyushu Bank Group will become the third largest banking group in Hong Kong after HSBC and Bank of China, and the formation of Kyushu Bank Group has also slowed down the pace of Japanese banks and American banks entering Xiangjiang, after all, in another time and space, the banks that Rongle is now acquiring have been acquired by Japanese banks and American banks, and even Hong Leong Investment, which was later renamed Guoco Group, later sold its own banks to foreign banks.

"Rongsheng, I'm leaving, I hope we can sit again when we have time!" Shen Bi saw that the matter here was almost handled, so he proposed to leave!

"Thank you, Mr. Shen Bi, for coming today, there is a dance party in the banquet hall of the Dynasty Hotel tonight, I hope Mr. Shen Bi will be able to participate then!" Rong Le invited.

Shen Bi smiled: "Okay, you must be there on time!"

Then Shen Bi and Rong Le shook hands and said goodbye, and at the same time murdered a lot of films.

Outside the Overseas Trust Bank, the two brothers Guo Lingcan and Guo Linghai watched Shen Bi walk out of the Overseas Trust Bank and get into their own car and leave.

The shock on Guo Linghai's face at this time had not been eliminated, and he muttered: "Why, why, why did Shen Bi personally come out to stand for Rongle, what kind of agreement did they reach?"

Guo Lingcan's face also showed anger, doubt, and helpless expressions, and finally said gloomily: "Let's go, Rongle will fight Xiangjiang, from now on, Rongle will become a well-deserved king of the Xiangjiang business community, let's avoid him in the past few years!"

Guo Linghai shouted angrily: "Big brother, are we just watching and doing nothing?"

Guo Lingcan said with a sense of failure: "What can we do, what else can we do, look at the depositors who retreated, and then look at the people around Rongle, which one we can deal with, now Rongle is at his peak, and now no one in Xiangjiang wants to touch him!"

Guo Linghai wanted to say something, but when he opened his mouth, he still leaned back on the seat helplessly, and finally muttered: "I don't understand why Shen Bi will appear on the platform for Rongle, this is not in the interests of HSBC at all!"

Guo Lingcan: "Rongle must have reached some cooperation with HSBC that outsiders cannot know, otherwise HSBC would not have allowed Kyushu Bank Group to grow up like this!"

"But what kind of cooperation can rival the benefits brought by the acquisition of Kyushu Bank Group, which is nearly 10 billion benefits!" Guo Linghai still couldn't understand.

Guo Lingcan shook his head and said, "I don't know, now we can only wait!"

Guo Linghai glanced at his eldest brother and asked, "What are you waiting for?"

Guo Lingcan: "I don't know what to wait for, but now there is no other way but to wait!"

"By the way, big brother, do you say that Rong Le knows about the data we provided to Jardine Matheson Bank of Daoheng?" Guo Linghai asked suddenly.

Guo Lingcan smiled bitterly: "How can I not know, those data are very confidential data, not that the internal people can't get it at all, I thought it was a fatal blow to Rongle, but I didn't expect it to become like this, we have to go back and think about a way, how to face Rongle's counterattack!"

Guo Linghai opened his mouth, and finally scolded angrily: "Damn HSBC!"

The two brothers left here in despair, and the possibility of them re-acquiring Daoheng Bank was gone, but they acted as villains, and could have taken the opportunity of Rongle's acquisition of Daoheng Bank to become a good business partnership with Rongle, but now it is ......

After Shen Bi returned to HSBC, HSBC's vice president Bao Johnming personally came to Shen Bi's office, and he was also shocked by the news at noon today, everyone had already discussed, ready to use the threat of loan withdrawal, to acquire a part of the equity of Kyushu Bank Group, and also hoped to acquire some shares of Dynasty Media Group, but now no cooperation has been reached, Shen Bi went to Rongle in person to give Rongle a platform, which directly disrupted all the deployments of HSBC.

"I know why you came, why don't you take a look at these two documents first!" Shen Bi didn't wait for Bao Johnming to speak, and handed the two documents that Rong Le gave him to Bao Johnming.

Bao Johnming opened the first document and read it carefully, it was these two documents that changed Shen Bi's mind, and it was impossible for him not to pay attention to it.

"We think we have taken Rong Le seriously enough, but in the end, we still underestimated Rong Le's financial resources!" Shen Bi said in a deep voice.

After reading the first document, Bao Johnming also showed a shocked look on his face: "Rong Le was able to come up with the five billion Hong Kong dollars without using the deposits of the Kyushu Bank Group and the cash of the three major groups, what kind of financial strength has his financial resources reached?"

"I now figured it out, when Rong Le entered the banking industry, he prepared at least 15 billion Hong Kong dollars in cash for himself, and he had already calculated all the difficulties he might face, including the possible loan withdrawal behavior of our HSBC bank!" Shen Bi leaned back in his office chair, his expression unpredictable, making people not know what he was thinking in his heart.

"But even so, if we take out a loan from HSBC, Rongle will not face a problem that can be solved by just 15 billion Hong Kong dollars? And Rongle did not use the funds of its three major groups, it is very likely that the three groups can no longer come up with cash, after all, 10 billion Hong Kong dollars of the 15 billion Hong Kong dollars in cash are made up by those three groups!" John Pao said that the seven banks under the Kyushu Bank Group have deposits of more than 30 billion Hong Kong dollars, and as long as HSBC draws loans, causing panic among depositors, the remaining 10 billion Hong Kong dollars in Rongle's hands will not be enough at all.

What's more, Rongle has spent 7.39 billion Hong Kong dollars to acquire seven banks, and the cash in his hand is only 2.61 billion Hong Kong dollars!

Shen Bi shook his head and said: "What you said is good, but you can't think about it like this, as of now, no one knows the specific financial situation of Rongle's three major groups, but we can get some conclusions in some clues, think about it, since last year, Rongle has begun to lay out the investment in Dongying, although we don't know how much Rongle has invested, but we can get an approximate figure in some account transactions." ”

"Last year, the three major groups under Rong's Investment had a deposit of about 2.5 billion Hong Kong dollars in HSBC, but at the end of last year, all this money was put into the foreign exchange market by Rongle to buy US dollars, which means that this money must be invested in the Dongying market. ”

"Except for the 1.3 billion Hong Kong dollars of Hang Seng Bank, we know, no one knows the specific deposit amount of other banks, but don't forget an incident that happened the year before last!"

"Are you talking about the Hong Kong dollar crisis?" asked John Pao.

"Yes, when the Hong Kong dollar crisis broke out, Rongle was able to easily come up with 1.2 billion US dollars, which is because of the Hong Kong dollar linked exchange rate system, Rongle not only did not lose in this crisis, but also made a lot of money, just from this one thing, do you think about how much cash Rongle will accumulate in recent years?" After Shen Bi finished speaking, he glanced at Bao Johnming.

Bao Hanming estimated in his heart and said: "Rong Le's expansion speed in the past two years has been very fast, and he should have used a lot of cash, but even so, his hand should at least be held...... HK$20 billion in cash!"

"Yes, this is also what I thought of after I met with Rongle today, we were all confused by the current situation during this time, so that Rongle, the media, and those stupid opponents of Rongle were confused, Rongle repeatedly frantically acquired problematic banks, so that we thought that Rongle's cash chain would have a problem, but forgot to dig into Rongle's strength fundamentally, Rongle didn't even have to use those hidden cash, and the investment in Dongying was withdrawn, as long as he made the financial situation of the three major groups of Rong's investment public, he could give all depositors a shot in the arm, do you think that if the people of Xiangjiang know that the three major groups under Rongle have an annual profit of more than 10 billion Hong Kong dollars, then everyone will still doubt the strength of Rongle?"

John Bao had already been a little troubled by Shen Bi's analysis at this time, but after thinking about it carefully, he found that Shen Bi's analysis was completely correct, and if it really came to that time, HSBC might have a heel in this matter.

"But even so, you don't have to go over to stand for Rongle in person?" Although John Bao understood Shen Bi's analysis, he was a little incomprehensible about Shen Bi's personal platform for Kyushu Bank Group, which was obviously fueling the arrogance of his opponent.

"Look at the second document!" Shen Bi nodded at the second document placed next to Bao Johnming and said.

John Bao opened the second document, and this time the expression on his face became even more exciting, "Rong Le is able to know the situation of banks in Europe and the United States so clearly?"

"Isn't it very surprised, I saw this document at the time, but also very surprised, this document is too important for us HSBC, the return of Hong Kong is inevitable, after the return of Hong Kong because of political factors, Bank of China will definitely get more support, as well as in the policy tilt, and some of our cooperation with the Hong Kong government, will definitely be taken away by the Bank of China, at that time the overseas market is very important for us HSBC. ”

"However, the European market has not been going well after the failure of the Royal Bank of Scotland, and now Rong Le tells us about the Mittland Bank of London and the Crocker Bank of America that the value of this gift has exceeded 1 billion Hong Kong dollars!"

"If we can use this information to lay out in advance, our HSBC strategic layout in Europe and the United States will be completed, and then Asia, the Americas, and Europe will form a 'triangular stool' strategic layout, even if there is a problem on the Xiangjiang side, we HSBC can bear it." ”

John Bao clearly understands that Shen Bi has always hoped to become the most successful senior in HSBC's history when his term of office is up, so the significance of this information to Shen Bi is definitely greater than HSBC's investment in Kyushu Bank Group!

"But how did Rong Le get this information? At the same time, I have some doubts about the credibility of this information!" said Bao Johnming.

The information about the London Mittland Bank and the American Crocker Bank, even if they didn't notice it HSBC, how did Rongle know?

"Rong Le said that he knew it through the relationship of Morgan Bank!" Shen Bi said.

"Rong Le is also connected to Morgan Bank?" Bao John looked at Rong Le in surprise.

"Yes, I think it has something to do with Rongle's business in the United States. Shen Bi replied.

"But even if it is connected with JPMorgan Bank, this kind of data should not be so easy to obtain, right?" Bao Johnming still had some doubts about this information.

"Of course, this data, we must verify it specifically, at least Rongle gave us a direction, didn't it? And with Rongle's current status, it is impossible to come up with a fake piece of information. Shen Bi replied.

Bao Hanming nodded and asked, "Then our relationship with Kyushu Bank Group?"

Shen Bi said with a smile: "Of course, it's time to cooperate and cooperate, it's time to compete, there is no army that will win forever on the battlefield, it is still the same in the shopping mall, this time let Rong Le win, next time we will fight again!"

John Bao: "But after this time, Rongle has completely become an existence at the same level as our HSBC, Hong Kong government, and Jockey Club in Xiangjiang, and it may not be so easy to compete with Rongle!"

In the fifties and sixties of Xiangjiang, someone once said that it is not only the Hong Kong government that rules Xiangjiang, but the four major forces of the Hong Kong government, HSBC, Jockey Club and Jardine Matheson, but now Jardine has gradually fallen behind, and no one will mention Jardine in this ranks.

Shen Bi said with a solemn expression but a little pity: "Don't worry, how powerful an existence Jardine was at the beginning, didn't it become what it is now? Now the global economic changes are unpredictable, it is difficult to guarantee that Rongle will not become the second Jardine in the future, let's wait and see!"

Shen Bi is naturally a pity, next year's term of office in the HSBC class is coming, and Rong Le has just risen, if he can work for a few more years, he really wants to have a good time with Rong Le.

"And there are some things you have to think of, since the return of Xiangjiang has settled in Yicheng, then it is impossible for England to be without action, if Rong Le thinks that he is firmly on the throne of the first person in Xiangjiang, then he will soon know that there are still many deficiencies in the personal will and the national will!"

Maybe now the Hong Kong government will be jealous of Rongle's rising prestige, but in the future, as the influence of this matter gradually wanes......

John Bao knew Lingran, but he didn't ask deeply about this matter...... I want to chat with more like-minded people about "{?$article_title?} ", WeChat pays attention to "excellent reading literature", chatting about life, looking for confidants~
