Following!
Rong Le came to the head office of the Overseas Trust Bank again, and there were more people queuing up to withdraw money today than yesterday, even more than every day before, and the order became a little chaotic.
But I don't know why, when they saw Rongle, the order began to become normal, this situation may not be in the past, after all, Rongle's performance during this period is too calm, and everyone is willing to believe in Rongle's Kyushu Bank Group's capital reserves, but today's situation is obviously different, yesterday's successive banks received large withdrawals of funds.
The arrival of Rong Le was able to stabilize the situation and make the scene less chaotic, which made the reporters present curious.
Reporters are often more well-informed, they got the news early today, and there will be a larger amount of money withdrawal today, but I don't know if Rongle can survive this time!
Even these reporters have received a notice from the newspaper, hoping to make more exciting news today, the meaning of which is even more obvious, obviously some people do not want to see Rong Le so high-profile, they want to see a myth shattered.
Rong Le is still sitting there, still smiling, even if a company has just withdrawn 35 million Hong Kong dollars from an overseas trust bank, Rong Le still has no change in face.
The reporter of "Sing Tao Daily" even saw Rong Le talking to a depositor with great interest, and he leaned over to hear it clearly.
"Why are you here again today, are you here to cheat on lunch?" Rong Le said.
The other party smiled, this time he didn't just come for lunch, now the news on the market has spread, there is already an inexplicable force united, in order to bring down Rongle's Kyushu Bank Group, this kind of gossip was spread overnight, he hopes that Rongle can break the other party's conspiracy, but it doesn't mean that he wants to stand in the same boat with Rongle, the money is his own, in case Rongle's myth is really broken, he will have no place to cry!
And the vast majority of depositors here are also in this mentality.
"Rong Shao, I'm really embarrassed, the family is really in a hurry to use the money!" the other party replied with a sneer.
"Haha, don't worry, I'll definitely let you get the money today!" Rong Le said with a smile, he didn't have any opinions on these depositors Rong Le, everyone's psychology was an egoist, there was no kindness between Rong Le and them, and naturally there was no reason for the other party to believe in himself unconditionally.
Guo Lingcan, Guo Linghai, the two brothers, came to the outside of the Overseas Trust Bank again, looking at the queue of more people than last time, Guo Lingcan smiled and said: "The other party finally made a move!"
Guo Linghai also smiled and said: "The other party made a move this time, and directly made Rongle's behavior a few days ago useless, I think Rongle must be about to explode now!"
"Haha, it's not enough to be angry, Rong Le must have estimated this situation, but Rong Le will definitely not be so happy, because the other party's main force has not officially taken action, and Rong Le has come to show his hole cards!" Guo Lingcan's words were a little vague.
Guo Linghai asked: "Big brother, you said that this is not the main force of the other party?"
Guo Lingcan nodded and said, "Yes, now these people who come to withdraw money are still those small and medium-sized companies, and a large company has not come out, and I even suspect that there is no shadow of HSBC in this at all." ”
Guo Linghai was slightly stunned, "Aren't these companies instructed by HSBC?"
ZTE, which can mobilize more than a dozen companies in Xiangjiang one after another, will there be no shadow of HSBC in this? Who else has this strength in Xiangjiang?
"Yes, I asked people to investigate these companies, although there are Chinese companies and foreign companies, but these companies have one thing in common, they all have a lot of business with Jardine Matheson's company. Guo Lingcan looked strategic.
Guo Linghai was a little shocked: "Big brother, do you mean that Jardine also made a move?"
"Of course, Rong Le can be said to have fought with Jardine many times over the years, and Jardine has long hated Rong Le, so what's strange about them now!" Guo Lingcan said as a matter of course.
"Although the development of Jardine Matheson in recent years has not been very smooth, but after all, Jardine Matheson was once the same as HSBC and Jockey Club, and the heritage in Xiangjiang is not at all what can be seen from the strength on the surface now.
Guo Linghai nodded and said: "Now that HSBC hasn't done it yet, Rongle is about to show his hole cards, so if HSBC does it, then Rongle won't ......?"
Guo Lingcan said with a smile: "Jardine side this time is to give HSBC a divine assist, without HSBC hands, you can force Rong Le's hole cards out, now it depends on whether Rong Le's hole cards are enough, whether they are strong enough, look at it slowly, the hole cards of both sides are about to surface!"
"So Rong Le must be dead this time?" Guo Linghai said with a smile.
"Not necessarily, in recent years, since Rongle reorganized the three major groups under Rong's investment, no one knows what Rongle's specific strength is, don't underestimate Rongle, these years Rongle established the Han and Tang Associations, and has helped a lot of Chinese consortiums one after another, these will be Rongle's hole cards, don't underestimate this force, if Rongle can really twist these forces into a rope, I believe Rongle still has a fight!" Guo Lingcan said with a smile.
Since Rongle acquired Daoheng Bank, Guo Lingcan has a detailed investigation of Rongle, when he saw Rongle's power, he was also surprised, he didn't expect Rongle to accumulate so many relationships in just a few years, now we have to see if these relationships can stand up at this time!
Guo Linghai leaned on the car seat, found a comfortable position, and said with a smile: "Let's fight, it's best to fight to the death, so that our Guo family can better fish in troubled waters!"
Guo Lingcan smiled with satisfaction: "Yes, Ah Hai, you can have this idea, it's very good, whether it's Rongle, or Jardine, or HSBC, if they want to fight, let them fight, the snipe and the clam fight, the fisherman profits, no matter which side wins, it will be a miserable victory, and then it's time for everyone to share the cake!"
......
"Father, it has been investigated clearly, most of these companies are companies that have business dealings with Jardine Matheson, and some are even companies of Jardine Holdings!"
Huo Tsar also came to the outside of the head office of the Overseas Trust Bank today, looking at the scene in front of him with a somewhat solemn expression, the changes in the financial market are indeed more rapid than other industries, and they are more violent, and in just one night, the good situation created by Rongle before was ruined!
"Ah Le is in danger this time!" said Tsar Huo with a somewhat solemn expression.
"No, although these companies are constantly withdrawing money now, but with Rongle's cash reserves, they should not be afraid of these, besides, we haven't made a move yet, as long as our Huo family comes forward to announce cooperation with Rongle, this situation will change!" Huo Zhenting said, he is more confident in the Huo family than anyone else!
"What you see is just the situation in front of you, Jardine Matheson is shooting now, our Huo family, Rongle's hole card is about to appear, so what about when HSBC makes a move?" Huo Tsar has been operating in Xiangjiang for many years, and naturally knows what kind of existence HSBC is in Xiangjiang, looking at the power of a company, not only their own forces, but also all the forces around them, HSBC has been operating in Xiangjiang for a hundred years, and its influence is amazing, if HSBC comes forward, it will be many times more exaggerated than the current scene!
"This ......" Huo Zhenting was a little silent, but still said: "Father, I think everyone may have overlooked a very important point. ”
Tsar Huo looked at Huo Zhenting and asked, "What?"
"That is Rongle's investment in Dongying, just with a few joint investment funds of 570 million US dollars, if you add Rongle's own investment must be more than 1 billion US dollars, if HSBC makes a move, Rongle can completely transfer this money back to Xiangjiang, that is nearly 10 billion Hong Kong dollars in cash, which is enough for Rongle to deal with HSBC's means. I believe that when the time comes, whether it is our family or the other ones, they will definitely not say anything about this matter, the cooperation between them and Rongle is too much, and the help they have received from Rongle is too much, it is impossible to give up Rongle at this time. ”
As the representative of the Huo family's investment in Dongying, Huo Zhenting naturally has more understanding of Dongying's investment, but he still underestimated Rongle's investment determination in Dongying.
Huo Tsar shook his head, his expression was still not too optimistic, and said: "You think things are too simple, people's hearts are separated from each other, as you said, even if these people cooperate very closely with Rongle, but there are many people who have almost taken out their entire wealth to follow Rongle to invest in Dongying, can they agree or not at that time." ”
"And don't forget, Rongle still has a loan of 5 billion Hong Kong dollars in HSBC, if HSBC draws a loan, the so-called nearly 10 billion Hong Kong dollars will be cut in half at that time, and the problem encountered by Rongle is a drop in the bucket, and I am worried about another thing now!"
Huo Zhenting hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?"
"Now it is still Jardine and HSBC go their separate ways, if the two sides join forces at that time, then Rongle will face the encirclement and suppression of the two largest companies since the opening of Xiangjiang Port, and no one knows whether Rongle can stand up at that time!"
After Huo Zhenting listened to his father's analysis, his face became solemn, he thought for a while, and asked, "Father, then we agreed to Rongle's shareholding in Kyushu Bank Group before?"
No matter what the relationship with Rong Le is, if things are really as his father expected, the Huo family's investment is likely to end in failure, this is not a small investment, although the Huo family has a big business, but it can't afford such a squander!
Huo Tsar glanced at Huo Zhenting again, and said: "Don't talk about this matter in the future, I know your worries, but our Huo family can achieve the current achievements in Xiangjiang, relying on integrity, in the past, Xiangjiang was the world of foreigners, although our Huo family is not afraid of anyone in business, but is still dealt with by the ghost guy's off-the-plate moves, although the situation in Xiangjiang is not the same as before, but in the final analysis, it is still the world of the ghost guy, and now he is playing with the other party, do you think it is just a duel between the two of them?" There is a deeper meaning in this, that is, the confrontation between Chinese and British capital, if Rongle can win, the significance of the Chinese-funded consortium in Xiangjiang will change dramatically, no matter what, we must stand on the same front with Rongle this time!"
"Father, do you think this matter is higher, now the Chinese-funded consortium in Xiangjiang has already risen, whether it is Li Chaoren, Zheng Yutong or the charter boat king and others, they have won the confrontation with the British-funded consortium. ”
"The charter boat king is already old, Zheng Yutong and Li Chaoren, their identities are more just businessmen, and this is also their own positioning for themselves, but Rong Le is different, everyone knows Rong Le's attitude towards the country, and it is this attitude that makes his identity different from that of a businessman, this thing is not something that can be said clearly in one or two sentences, you just need to remember that our Huo family must be standing next to Rong Le this time, that's right!"
In the end, Tsar Huo said categorically.
Huo Zhenting nodded as if he didn't understand, and said, "Then what can we do now?"
Tsar Huo said simply: "Wait!"
Then explained: "Now even I don't know Rong Le's specific response, I think Rong Le must have his own plan for the whole thing, we can't stand up rashly at this time and disrupt his rhythm, and I also want to see if he can support this piece of the Chinese consortium!"
......
The time soon came to the afternoon, at noon, Rongle still prepared lunch for every customer queuing up to withdraw money, but now everyone has no heart to eat, according to the statistics of reporters in the hall, in just one morning, the head office of the Overseas Trust Bank was taken away more than 100 million Hong Kong dollars in cash, no one knows whether Rongle can hold on.
The people in line are gradually getting irritable, and the people in the back of the queue have begun to push and swear.
"The chairman is not good, and the people in the queue outside have begun to get impatient. The hall manager also lost his composure at this point.
Rong Le's face also became solemn, and it seemed that he was going to use the hole card of Huo Tsar!
So everyone in the hall saw Rong Le standing up with a solemn expression, walked to the door of the hall, looked at the scene where there was chaos outside, and said: "Don't crowd, everyone, since I have promised everyone before, let everyone get their own deposits, they will definitely not break their promises, I hope everyone can abide by the order, and there will be no panic, because this is likely to cause injuries!"
"Hmph, we've been queuing for so long, and it's not our turn, Rong Shao, are you out of money?"
"It's like, how long has it been, we should have been lined up a long time ago, but now it hasn't arrived, is the overseas trust bank not working?" someone chimed in.
Then the others started shouting.
Rong Le knew that it had reached everyone's critical point now, and he had to come up with some means, otherwise it was very likely to cause a stampede......
"Who said that the overseas trust bank has no money, we are here to save money!" At this time, some people who did not make Rong Le think appeared in the crowd......
