Chapter 344: The Characters That Wang and Li Look Up to (Two Watches Together)

At the end of the meeting, Wang Zifan personally called Qiu Degen, chairman of the Far Eastern Bank, reiterated the epoch-making historical friendship between the two sides, and finally raised the issue of Hutchison Whampoa equity pledge in just two minutes, he earned more than 10 million from ATV, and the result was 100 million yuan, although the money did not enter Qiu Degen's pocket in the end, but he was still very depressed, if the bank was his, the pledge conditions would not be so harsh!

"What does this kid want to say?" The phone hung up for a long time, but Qiu Degen didn't react, he only felt that he had received a confused phone call and wasted half an hour. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Knock knock!

"Enter!"

"Morning chairman!"

This kid is always unpredictable, Qiu Degen shook his head, his attention finally shifted from the phone, and found that his assistant's face was a little excited, and said with a smile: "Is there something wrong?"

"The secretary of Mr. Li, chairman of Cheung Kong Industrial, just called the hotline and said that Mr. Li Jiacheng asked you to meet!"

"Li Jiacheng?"

"Yes!"

"Got it!"

Qiu Degen nodded slightly, calmly inserted the pen back, he has reason to be so confident, don't look at Li Jiacheng now, a few years ago he also promoted plastic printing like him, at that time he was the famous chairman of the Far Eastern Group, managing tens of billions of assets, and his net worth far exceeded Li Jiacheng dozens of times, but in the past ten years, Li Jiacheng does not sell plastic printing to engage in real estate, and also acquired Hutchison Whampoa with the support of HSBC, and with the help of several major families, it has become a top Chinese consortium in Hong Kong.

This experience can be written as an inspirational novel, but Qiu Degen has seen something more powerful, and he still can't figure it out, that is, Wang Zifan, who single-handedly founded the entertainment group, many people know that Wang Zifan actually made a fortune by speculating in stocks, so he jumped into the big pit of stocks without hesitation.

After Li Jiacheng and Wang Zifan's fortune experience, Qiu Degen suddenly thought of the discord between the two, Wang Zifan just called, Li Jiacheng reacted, or it can be understood that Li Jiacheng was just going to do something, and Wang Zifan's kid called to pull the relationship!

It must be so!

Qiu Degen, who thought he had figured it out, quickly laughed out, Wang Zifan was very strong in the previous negotiations, whether it was a stake in Jiashi or the acquisition of a bank, and now he understands that he actually holds a trump card in his hand, and this 21% equity of Hutchison Whampoa will cause the third war between the Wang Group and the Li Group? If it really happens, then the position of Far Eastern Bank is very important!

Who to help?

The names Wang Zifan and Li Jiacheng are dangling in front of their eyes, and Qiu Degen's roots are big, which doesn't seem to be a good thing.

Knock knock!

This time, the assistant knocked on the door and came in, reminding: "Chairman, Mr. Li has arrived!"

Qiu Degen slowly stood up, and felt like he was on the execution ground, although he was not afraid of Li Jiacheng, but his strength was there, and he controlled two giant groups with a market value of more than 10 billion yuan, and only Wang Zifan's kind of genius could compete with one or two, he was already old, and his energy was focused on Asia Television, and the Far Eastern Group could not withstand such strong winds and waves.

When the two sides met, Li Jiacheng laughed and hugged him, and shouted affectionately: "Brother Qiu!"

Qiu Degen smiled and said, "Brother Li, it's been a long time!"

"Yes, when I heard that my brother was under ATV, I wanted to come and take a look!"

"It's not too late!"

"Yes, brother, your body is still so strong!"

"No, I'm going to have to take a breath if I climb a few flights of stairs now!

"What did my brother say, Uncle Shao Liu next door eats ginseng and practices qigong, and he doesn't go to work as usual!"

Qiu Degen and Li Jiacheng were polite, as if they were old friends, both of them showed a sigh on their faces, as if they were recalling the past, they had a common language, the topic lasted for five minutes, and then shifted to work, Li Jiacheng first looked at Qiu Degen's office environment, smiled and joked, and intentionally or unintentionally mentioned the Jiashi Building opposite, and finally expressed the meaning.

Sure enough, he came for Wang Zifan! Qiu Degen groaned, in terms of the relationship between the three parties, he still cooperated more with Wang Zifan!

Li Jiacheng smiled and said, "Brother, I heard that you are interested in selling Far Eastern Bank?"

This kid won't even pack up the bank and take it away, right? Qiu Degen smiled and said, "What, you intend to take over?"

Li Jiacheng smiled and shook his head: "Brother said that he laughed, Cheung Kong has no experience in taking over banks, but I can recommend one like my brother!"

Qiu Degen was relieved, but when he saw that Li Jiacheng's face had added a little confidence, he felt a little unhappy in his heart, his smile gradually faded, and he said casually: "Tell me about it?"

Li Jiacheng was not discouraged, and still smiled: "I heard that my brother invested in the mainland?"

Qiu Degen frowned, swept away the contempt just now, and said very seriously: "It is true that I invested millions in the Pearl River Delta, which is not very smooth, brother, what good projects do you have?"

Li Jiacheng sighed: "Yes, the mainland is different from Hong Kong, a lot of business depends on policies, and the people who know the policies best are the officials and businessmen!"

"Officials and businessmen?" Qiu Degen muttered for a moment, and said thoughtfully: "It seems to be called a state-owned enterprise over there!"

Li Jiacheng nodded but shook his head, and after a while of selling the lawsuit, he smiled and said: "There are many state-owned enterprises, but the one with the most information and ability is ...... Dude has heard of Repulse Bay Boryard Building?"

"Are you talking about the Rong family, which is known as the red capitalist?" Qiu Degen's eyes lit up, after the mainland's reform and opening up, many rich people have emerged, but only the Rong family can be called a consortium in the world, and now the Rong family in Hong Kong is a person named Rong Zhijian, and the most famous thing this person does is to cooperate with Li Jiacheng to acquire the real estate group.

The Rong family is a well-known family, a leader in the business world at the end of the Qing Dynasty, known as the "King of Cotton Yarn", and opened a flour factory, is one of the ten richest people in the Republic of China, is looking at the eighties, the Rong family can not be underestimated, not to mention the mainland for the time being, absolutely hand and eye to the sky, in Nanyang, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and even the United States, Germany, the Rong family has branches, and the influence is not small!

Li Jiacheng got straight to the point and said: "Brother doesn't know, now the mainland bigwigs attach great importance to the Hong Kong issue, otherwise there will not be so many state-owned enterprises to list in Hong Kong, some people are optimistic about Far Eastern Bank, hoping to use this springboard to influence Hong Kong's financial circles!"

Qiu Degen squinted and said, "So there is really a mainland group that wants to buy Far Eastern Bank?"

Li Jiacheng responded with his forehead, of course this is true, otherwise he would go back and find someone to contact, how could he justify himself, in the mainland, banks are state-run and have a very high status, and in Hong Kong, banks are everywhere, like HSBC can influence the Hong Kong economy, and small banks like the Far East, not to mention influencing economic policies, are very difficult to operate themselves, and the mainland's acquisition of banks is mostly for political purposes and does not care about money, so he is very confident to persuade Qiu Degen to sell the bank.

The office fell into silence, Qiu Degen pondered for a long time, his fingers tapped the coffee table again and again, it was difficult to decide in his heart, he was not afraid of Wang Zifan, but some time ago a bigger buyer came to the door, whether it was Wang Zifan or Li Jiacheng, or the Rong family, it was not worth mentioning in front of this buyer, cloudy and shrewd eyes looked at Li Jiacheng, and sighed: "Brother, I understand what it means, but you are late!"

Li Jiacheng was shocked in his heart and said, "Could it be that the prince is a prince?"

Qiu Degen said honestly: "I won't tell you, that kid did call just now!"

"I didn't expect it to be hidden from him!" Li Jiacheng smiled bitterly, from Qiu Degen calling Wang Zifan that kid, he knew that it was hanging, and the relationship between the two was really extraordinary! But listening to Qiu Degen's meaning, the ownership of Far Eastern Bank does not seem to be so simple!

Qiu Degen joked: "This little monkey jumps up and down, it depends on whether the palm of the old brother is big enough!"

Li Jiacheng shook his head, Wang Zifan is not a monkey, and he is not a Buddha, and asked, "Who is the buyer that the elder brother said?"

Qiu Degen smiled faintly and said, "The Lin family in Indonesia!"

"Mr. Lin Shaoliang?" Li Jiacheng seemed surprised, and as if he had said the name as a matter of course.

"Hmm!" Qiu Degen nodded lightly, mentioning this person, Rao is he and Li Jiacheng are business tycoons, and his heart is also very heavy.

Indonesia's Lim Kingdom is a diversified group with a wide range of business scope, mainly involved in textile, cement, chemical, electronics, forestry, fishery, shipping, insurance, finance, real estate, gold and gemstones, restaurants and restaurants, medical equipment, telecommunications equipment, steel and other industries. Its foundation center is in Jakarta, the capital of Indonesia, and its subsidiaries are distributed in Indonesia, Singapore, Hong Kong, Liberia, the Netherlands, the United States and other countries and regions, becoming an international consortium across four continents: Asia, Africa, Europe and the United States.

Lim Shaoliang is Indonesian, but he is indeed a legend, and his family history is closely related to the Indonesian government.

On August 15, 1945, after the surrender of Indonesia, Indonesia declared independence, but the Japanese army just withdrew from Indonesia, the Dutch colonial army made a comeback, and a war of independence against the Dutch colonists was about to break out. When the time came to go it alone, he was sure that the final victory in this war would belong to the Indonesian people, and his career might find an opportunity and a new growth point in this war.

At this time, a senior leader sneaked into Gutu Town to hide in order to get rid of the pursuit of Dutch intelligence officers, and the Chinese Federation trusted Lin Shaoliang very much, so he handed over this important cover task to him, and this leader named Hassan Din hid in the Lin family for more than 1 year, and formed a friendship with Lin Shaoliang, this Hassan Din was the father-in-law of Sukarno, the first president of the Republic of Indonesia.

It was through Hassan Ding's connections that Lin Shaoliang got to know many people in the army, including Indonesia's first president, Sukarno, who was only a colonel in a division at the time.

At that time, due to the blockade of the colonial army, the army of the Republic was in short supply of arms and medicines, Lin Shaoliang saw this situation, he was very worried, if it continued, it would definitely not be able to resist the invasion of the Dutch colonists, so he decided to start a business in this area and provide the army with necessary military supplies. At the time, it took a lot of courage to do so, not to be afraid of risks, to be bold and careful.

Lin Shaoliang first discussed his idea with the military of the Republic of China, and received enthusiastic support, and the two sides hit it off, carefully and cautiously studied the transportation route, and soon, Lin Shaoliang risked his life, carried the weapons and military supplies purchased from Singapore on a sailboat, and with his familiarity with the terrain and sea routes, he skillfully crossed the Dutch blockade line and safely transported a batch of arms to the Indonesian army in Central Java.

In this way, Lin Shaoliang escorted the arms and crossed the blockade line of the Dutch army again and again, as if entering a no-man's land. Every time he arrived at the front, Indonesian officers and soldiers cheered and greeted him. Not only did he make a considerable profit from the arms business, but he also forged deep personal friendships with Indonesian officers such as Sukarno. This laid a solid foundation for his future career success.

In 1967, Lin Shaoliang's career entered an explosive period, and the biggest advantage was that this year, Suharto, who hugged his thighs that year, became a big official: the president of Indonesia, yes, it was Suharto, the leader of the anti-Chinese standard.

In 1968, Suharto promulgated the domestic investment decree to encourage all walks of life to engage in economic construction, Lin Shaoliang hugged Suharto's thigh tightly, and also grasped his economic construction decree, first of all, obtained the monopoly of cloves import. The so-called monopoly is a monopoly. Relying on monopoly, Lin Shaoliang soon became the "lilac king" of Indonesia, and single-handedly occupied most of the country's market.

Since then, Lin Shaoliang has obtained the franchise of two-thirds of the country's flour production, and has launched a series of investments around food. When Suharto's first modern flour mill opened in Jakarta, Suharto's place of origin, was a special event for him.

In the following 10 years, Lim became an oligarch in Indonesia's food industry, accounting for 90% of Indonesia's instant noodle market, 85% of the flour market, 35% of the milk market and more than 30% of the edible oil market.

And these businesses were just a drizzle for Lin Shaoliang later.

The next year, Lin Shaoliang met the financial wizard Li Wenzheng on the plane, and with 17.5% of the shares as a bargaining chip, he immediately invited Li Wenzheng to join the group he founded.

In the following eight years, under the leadership of Li Wenzheng, Central Asia's total assets increased by 332 times, and deposits increased by 1,253 times, making it not only the largest private bank in Indonesia, but also one of the largest banks in Southeast Asia.

Just this year, the American magazine "Public Institutional Investor" selected the 12 richest bankers in the world, and Lin Shaoliang was ranked sixth, becoming the world-famous "financial king".

After decades of hard work, the seventy-year-old Lin Shaoliang has built his own "Lin Kingdom", and the flagship enterprises under his control play a vital role in the economic development of Southeast Asia. Lin Shaoliang is also known as the "Rockefeller of Asia" because of his abundant financial resources and huge power.

At the same time, Lin Shaoliang also continued to expand his business outside Indonesia through Hua Renyi Group, successively invested in Hong Kong, Southeast Asia and the United States, and also acquired the equity of a number of banks or companies, Far Eastern Bank is one of them, very inconspicuous, but this business directly affects Wang Zifan, Li Jiacheng's strategic layout, perhaps whoever can get Lin Shaoliang's favor, who can give the other party a fatal blow.

Of course, in the eyes of Lin Shaoliang, neither Li Jiacheng nor Wang Zifan has the qualifications to argue with him, with a steady stream of funds, Lin began to get involved in the field of international trade, in the United States, the Netherlands, Thailand, the Philippines and Hong Kong mergers and acquisitions of a number of companies, accidentally won a "king of commerce" crown, in the 97 financial crisis, and 98 Chinese exclusion incident, Lin Shaoliang is a well-deserved undefeated myth.

Knowing this news, Li Jiacheng was very disappointed, came with confidence, hesitated to leave, and reflected on himself again in his heart, why every time he fought with Wang Zifan, there would be an unexpected situation, this time the small Far Eastern Bank actually involved the monster of the Indonesian Lin family, even if he and Wang Zifan were tied together, they were not the opponent of a little finger.

Qiu Degen's side, although he was defeated by Li Jiacheng, he was not very happy, but felt that he had caused a trouble, he and Li Jiacheng did not cooperate before, but there was still a nodding friend, and now after this incident, that friendship has also disappeared, in case the two families meet in the mall in the future, I am afraid that Li Jiacheng will not show mercy to him.

It's all the fault of Prince Fan's boy!

There is no doubt that this account is recorded on Wang Zifan's head, and the reason is very good, if it weren't for Wang Zifan offending Li Jiacheng, he would not be in a dilemma, a phone call was made, and it was very polite to speak.

I'll go!

What medicine did this old man take!

Wang Zifan rubbed his ears, he really didn't expect Qiu Degen to be so angry, and said with a smile: "Uncle Gen, who made you angry?"

Qiu Degen pretended to be angry and said: "You kid knowingly asked, you don't call early or late, but when Li Jiacheng came to call, you made me offend people after half an hour of carelessness!

Wang Zifan said unexpectedly: "Li Jiacheng came to the door so quickly!"

Qiu Degen snorted angrily: "Just left!"

Wang Zifan said tentatively: "He wants to ask me to take over the 21% stake in Hutchison?"

Qiu Degen said lightly: "More than that, he wants to swallow the entire Far Eastern Bank!"

Wang Zifan was stunned for a while before he said: "What a big appetite, Uncle Gen, you and I have an agreement!"

Qiu Degen sneered: "Do you think that our agreement can stop him, I'm not afraid to tell you, this time Li Jiacheng really put a lot of effort into moving out of the Rong family in the mainland!"

The pen in Wang Zifan's hand was broken instantly, if the real estate group acquired before, maybe it was a misunderstanding, but this time he conspired with Li Jiacheng to the Far Eastern Bank, he was really angry, and the equity of Hutchison Whampoa is the key to the success or failure of his layout, if Qiu Degen compromises, then Li Jiacheng will become the real speaker of Hutchison without any suspense, not to mention that he will be under pressure in the future, and he will lose a 'silver bullet' that defeated Li Jiacheng.

Qiu Degen's tone turned around, suggesting, "Afan, how is our relationship?"

Wang Zifan's heart moved, is there a chance to turn around, this old guy would be so kind, and said in a hesitant tone: "Uncle Gen, what are you talking about, I have always respected and admired you as an elder!"

"Take me as an elder at this time!" Qiu De wanted to ask for some benefits at all, but as soon as the words came to his mouth, Wang Zifan couldn't cry or laugh, and said angrily: "Why didn't you say that I was your elder when you first invested in Jiashi!"

Wang Zifan sneered and said: "Wasn't the time inappropriate at that time, Jiashi had just been established, and the future was unknown, how dare I let you take the risk!"

Qiu Degen said: "What now?"

Wang Zifan said earnestly: "Now the TV station is very profitable, of course I don't object to Uncle Gen's willingness to take shares, but you already have ATV under your name, and then invest in Jiashi, is it a bit redundant, of course, if Uncle Gen is optimistic about Jiashi, I support it, welcome at any time!"

"You kid...... It really hasn't changed at all!" Qiu Degen really has nothing to say, saying that Jiashi's benefits are good is not to imply that he has a large price to buy shares, and he also has the face to mention ATV, and now ATV is overwhelmed by Jiashi, this year's global beauty pageant has entered the publicity stage, but there is no meaning to ventilate with ATV, and the 10 million invested last year is a waste!

Perhaps he was also embarrassed, Wang Zifan mentioned the embarrassing words: "Uncle Gen, I didn't treat you badly, I borrowed 2 billion from your bank, not only mortgaged Hutchison's equity, but also paid so much interest every month, but now it is the freezing point of the stock market crash, how many companies have gone bankrupt, and how many bad debts your Far Eastern Bank has, and I will pay interest into your account in advance every month, in such a difficult situation, you can't cheat me!"

Qiu Degen felt that if he continued to talk about it, it would become what he owed Wang Zifan, so he hurriedly tried to show up: "Don't worry, I am the most trustworthy person...... Our friendship is here, even if the conditions of Li Jiacheng and the Rong family are ten times more favorable, I, as an elder, will not do anything to fall into the ground, but it is a pity that I have invested tens of millions in the mainland, and I have just opened up the situation, and I will still have to go up in the end in the end!"

Wang Zifan didn't believe it: "You also invest in the mainland, and you still pay tens of millions?"

Qiu Degen's old face was red, he was really embarrassed to expand the investment tenfold, and said vaguely: "Almost, in two years, I plan to increase investment and build a few factories in the Yangtze River Delta!"

Wang Zifan said with a smile: "I said it earlier, I know the mayor of Shanghai, if Uncle Gen is worried about the safety of investment, I will help you introduce you when the time comes! I invested 100 million US dollars to set up a university in Shanghai, and the construction started last month, I just want to go over and have a look!"

Qiu Degen nodded secretly, this is not bad, in the future, he will invest in the mainland with Wang Zifan, if this kid can be as rebellious as Hong Kong, then he will not be able to make money! Not to mention that the mainland market is so big, the Rong family will not be able to cover the sky with one hand!

Wang Zifan was still a little worried, and said tentatively: "Uncle Gen, what are you going to do about Far Eastern Bank?"

Qiu Degen sighed and said: "Don't think about the bank, I can't refuse the Indonesian Lin family, not to mention that the conditions they offer are very generous, I plan to rectify the Far Eastern Bank and sell it to them at a high price!"

Wang Zifan was puzzled: "Why is there still the Lin family in Indonesia?"

Qiu Degen was stunned, and after a while he asked, "You kid doesn't know about Indonesian Lin Shaoliang?"

"Lin Shaoliang, is it very powerful?" Wang Zifan was confused, he really didn't know this Lin Shaoliang, in his previous life, he was just an ordinary person, and he couldn't even call the top ten richest people in the United States, let alone Indonesia.
