Not only Li Chaoren, but also the charter king also received a call from HSBC at this time, and the charter king also knew about Rongle's takeover of the overseas trust bank for the first time.

After answering the phone, the charter king called Rongle's office.

"Ah Le, what you did this time is really in a hurry!" said the charter king worriedly.

"Bao Bo, things always have to be done, if you don't do it now, you have to do it later, since you have the opportunity now, why don't you do it now? The situation may be more complicated in the future?" Rong Le replied with a smile, being able to receive a call from the charter king made Rong Le very happy.

At least at this time, the other party treats himself with kindness, you must know that the charter king is the director of HSBC, and the reason why the charter king can quickly become the world's first ship king is also inseparable from the help of HSBC.

"There will always be opportunities, but if you do this now, you will really anger HSBC, this incident is not the time when your reputation was damaged, it can be passed so easily, you don't think that HSBC will simply take out a loan, right?" said the charter king.

"Bo Bo, of course I know, no matter what tricks HSBC comes up with, I will follow, I firmly believe that practice makes true knowledge, and if you don't do it, you will never know what the result will be. Rong Le said firmly.

The charter king sighed on the other end of the phone, he didn't expect Rong Le to be so determined. After thinking for a while, he continued: "HSBC has already called and is going to hold a board meeting, I think it is just to discuss your affairs, I will find a way to give you a period of time, I hope you can be mentally prepared!"

"I've already guessed this!" Rong Le then said solemnly: "Thank you Bao Bo!" It is not easy for the charter king to be able to do this.

"Don't talk to me about this, I hope you can survive this time, and we will continue to cooperate when the time comes!" said the charter king smiled.

"That's for sure!" Rong Le laughed.

After the call of the charter ship king hung up, Li Chaoren's phone also called, and the words were similar to those of the charter king, but Li Chaoren's words were even more interesting, Li Chaoren also mentioned that if Rong Le needed cash, he could provide it, but Rong Le heard that Li Chaoren wanted to be able to take over the shares of Changshi in Rong Le's hands at a premium.

Later, Rong Le received calls from many people, Guo Desheng, Li Zhaoji, Feng Jingxi, He Gongzi, He Hongshen, Li Fuzhao, Li Qingfang...... Almost all the members of the Han and Tang Dynasty Association called Rong Le, and they couldn't understand why Rong Le was so anxious to enter the banking industry, this time period was obviously not the best time, and Rong Le also expressed his gratitude on the phone one by one for everyone's concern.

Seeing Rong Le put down the phone, Huo Tsar said with a smile: "Ah Le, you have indeed done a lot of things in Xiangjiang over the years, and you have made a lot of friends!"

After the press conference, Tsar Huo came to Rongle's office.

"Haha, it's easy to do things with more friends!" Rong Le smiled.

Huo Tsar shook his head and said: "You have stabbed a hornet's nest, and now there is no action on the part of HSBC, everyone naturally cares about you, but you must know that if HSBC really makes a move, at that time, there will be few people who can stand on your side!"

The poor in the downtown no one asks, and the rich have distant relatives in the mountains.

Rong Le naturally knows this truth, to be honest, Rong Le does need many Chinese consortia to fight with him in the global market, and confront the Japanese consortium, European and American consortia, but first, Rong Le wants to show everyone his muscles, so that everyone knows how strong their power is.

Only in this way can everyone have the confidence to follow him Rongle to fight in the east and west.

"Hubber, don't you think this is also an opportunity to make us see the people around us more clearly. Rong Le said with deep eyes.

"I'm worried that you're playing too big this time, and you're going to use HSBC as a test stone, which no one in Xiangjiang has ever dared to try!" Huo Tsar said worriedly.

"Hobb, do you believe me?" Rong Le asked.

Tsar Huo smiled bitterly and said: "Now it doesn't matter if I believe it or not, the important thing is that you make others believe you, I am already on your thief ship, I am this age, it's not like letting people say that I don't keep my promise!"

"Haha!" Rong Le laughed out loud and said, "Then let's wait and see! This time I want to see how many bull ghosts and snake gods jump out!"

"At first, HSBC may not shoot directly, you don't focus all your eyes on HSBC, at your size, even if it is a real battle, HSBC will not give everything at the beginning, in my opinion, they are very likely to come out of an army that you can't imagine in other aspects!"

Rong Le's expression became a little solemn, if HSBC really just took out the 5 billion loans, it would not be a worry for Rong Le at all, what Rong Le was worried about was that HSBC would use other tricks, and the unknown was the most terrifying.

"I'll pay attention to that!"

"Well, that's good, now don't you need me to come forward and stabilize the situation first?" asked Tsar Ho.

If Huo Tsar can officially become a shareholder, it will definitely be very good news for Rongle, at least the current public opinion will be more favorable to Rongle.

Rong Le shook his head and said: "It's not time yet, I want to see the first move made by HSBC first, since we can't guess the other party's tricks, then we simply brake quietly, anyway, the other party is more anxious than us!"

Huo Tsar nodded, knowing that Rong Le was right.

"Huo Bo, you are an old-timer in the business community of Xiangjiang, can you help me analyze the possible tricks of HSBC?" Rong Le humbly asked Huo Tsar for advice.

Although the current Rong Le seems to be full of confidence, he also knows that he is walking a tightrope on the edge of the cliff now, and he may fall to pieces if he is not careful, and Huo Tsar has been in the business world for many years and is the most talented business wizard in Xiangjiang, so Rong Le naturally hopes to get some advice from him.

Almost all morning, Rong Le was spying with Huo Tsar, because HSBC's shareholders are all over the world, even if they have their own representatives in Xiangjiang, holding an important shareholder meeting of HSBC, there is still time to prepare, and at the same time, Rong Le's matter is too big, as Shen Bi said, if HSBC really wants to deal with Rong Le, then they will lose hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars a year, and some shareholders will not necessarily agree with Shen Bi's proposal, so the board meeting of HSBC will take at least four or five days to reach a conclusion。

Although Shen Bi is the senior class of HSBC, HSBC is not his word!

And these four or five days are the time for Rongle to buffer.

At noon, Zhao Shizeng, He Hongyi, Dong Gongzi, Liu Luanxiong, and Yang Shoucheng came to Rongle's office together.

"Rong Sheng, do you want to transfer part of Dongying's investment back to Xiangjiang?" Liu Luanxiong asked, almost all of these people's liquidity was invested in Dongying, even if they wanted to help Rong Le, they didn't have enough funds in their hands, which made it a little difficult for them to deal with themselves, after all, these people had been helped by Rong Le.

"No, what Dongying should do, I know it in my heart!" Rong Le shook his head, Dongying's investment is a needle for Rong Le, which is why Rong Le dares to play in Xiangjiang with such great confidence, because even if Rong Le fails this time, his income in Dongying can still make up for the loss this time.

Seeing this, everyone was a little silent, they really couldn't imagine where Rongle's self-confidence came from, in their opinion, this battle must use at least 10 billion Hong Kong dollars, so that Rongle will not fail, this is just not a failure, at the same time, Rongle also has to bear the annual losses of overseas trust banks and Hang Lung Bank, all of which makes reason tell them that Rongle is really likely to collapse in the banking industry this time!

Rong Le was naturally very happy about everyone's arrival, and smiled to comfort everyone: "Things are not as bad as everyone imagined, don't worry about me!"

However, Rong Le's smile has some meaning of forced laughter in everyone's eyes.

The matter of Rongle taking over the Overseas Trust Bank has continued to ferment among the citizens of Xiangjiang and the financial industry, and has become a hot topic in the city.

This can be divided into three types of people, one is the person who is full of confidence in Rong Le, in their opinion, Rong Le's business behavior this time will be the same as his previous business behavior, which has achieved significant success, but this part of the people is the least.

One is to take a wait-and-see attitude, this kind of person is the second few!

More people think that Rongle is really playing big this time, playing too big, and will challenge HSBC's prestige in Xiangjiang, which is tantamount to looking for death.

There is no central bank in Hong Kong, and HSBC is known as the 'quasi-central bank' of Hong Kong, and it has subsidiaries such as Hang Seng Bank.

Rongle is fighting against the entire HSBC on its own, HSBC's hundreds of years of operation have long left an invincible impression on the citizens of Xiangjiang, and Rongle is still not enough to see even if it is the first person in Xiangjiang.

HSBC is not only the most trusted bank of the Hong Kong people, but also the most important cooperative bank of the Hong Kong government, the foreign exchange, financial reserves and cash receipts and expenditures of the Hong Kong government are mainly managed by the Exchange Fund and the Treasury respectively, and then these two institutions deal with the relevant banks.

At the same time, HSBC has long played the role of the chief banker and financial adviser of the Hong Kong government, and as the agent of the Hong Kong government to implement monetary policy, HSBC's Taipan has been an ex-officio member of the Heung Kong Executive Council, HSBC is also one of the three permanent members of the Hong Kong Association of Banks (the other two are Bank of China and Standard Chartered), and takes turns with Standard Chartered Bank as the chairman and vice chairman of the trade union (Bank of China only began to join after participating in the issuance of banknotes in May 1994). HSBC is also a member of the Hong Kong Exchange Fund Advisory Committee.

All this shows HSBC's transcendent position and great influence in the banking industry in Hong Kong.

And Rong Le is now being targeted by such a Big Mac.

It is under such circumstances that even though Rongle has announced the injection of 400 million US dollars into overseas trust banks, it still causes many depositors to be anxious about overseas trust banks.

At this time, there are people queuing up to withdraw money from various branches of Overseas Trust Bank, Hang Lung Bank, and Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, but because Rongle has injected funds into three banks before, many depositors can smoothly withdraw their deposits, but all this does not dispel everyone's doubts, and no one knows whether they will be the last to withdraw money, so the branches of the two banks are still in an endless stream of people withdrawing money.

For this reason, the Financial Secretary Bi Richie specially met with Rong Le again to ask Rong Le's opinion on this matter, and Rong Le said confidently that Rong Le has sufficient funds and does not need to worry about the current situation.

......

Even though the Overseas Trust Bank was taken over by Rongle, the crisis caused by the Haita shock still existed, and there were queues at the gates of the branches of the Overseas Trust Bank, Hang Lung Bank, and Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, as well as other banks.

In particular, Dao Heng Bank, which was negotiating with overseas trust banks to acquire ICBC, also triggered a crisis of trust among depositors, and many depositors also withdrew their deposits in front of various branches of Dao Heng Bank.

At this time, Hong Leong Investment was not the future Guoco Group, the third largest banking institution in Hong Kong, and now Dao Heng Bank is going through their most difficult time.

Guo Lingcan was in his office, his face was pale, the scandal of the Overseas Trust Bank had broken out for four days, and Dao Heng Bank had taken a lot of deposits in these four days, if this continued, it would also trigger the crisis of the Xiangjiang Bank, if that case, Dao Heng Bank was likely to not survive the crisis.

"Chairman, we should think of a way as soon as possible, if it continues to develop in this form, it is very likely that our Daoheng Bank will have a major financial crisis, and it will be irreparable at that time!"

Guo Lingcan said: "What a panic, now the capital situation of Daoheng Bank is quite good, plus there are several loans that are about to expire, and the company's finances will be greatly eased at that time, as long as it can survive this time, it will be fine!"

"Chairman, there are some things you may not know, among these loans of our bank, there are various problems in the operation of several loan companies, and it is very likely that there will be a situation where the debts cannot be repaid, and the company's bad debt rate will increase at that time, if this news is known by depositors outside, it will be even more troublesome?"

"I already know about this matter, tell the company's senior management, cover this matter for me, I don't want to hear this news outside, tell the company's senior management, now the group has been contacting the Kuwait Investment Authority, and then the Kuwait Investment Authority will take a stake in Daoheng, and the crisis will be naturally lifted!"

"Yes, Chairman!"

At this time, Guo Lingcan's secretary walked in and said, "Chairman, Mr. Rongle of Rong's Investment is visit$article ing!" ", WeChat pays attention to "excellent reading literature", chatting about life, looking for confidants~
