Chapter 412: The Dream of Buying a Bank Has Come

The existence of the Hong Kong Xinhua News Agency is only responsible for copying the information of mainland publications, and does not conduct interviews internally, so it stands to reason that there is no media interview link for such a gathering, but the most important thing in Hong Kong is the vast number of reporters with magical powers, I don't know when, there are a few reporters who follow in, they interview very politely, neither follow nor take pictures, but chat like friends, and the security guards and waiters in the venue have no intention of driving away!

Wang Zifan, Yi Yifu, and Qiu Degen were blocked by several reporters, and there were two interviews with Wang Zifan, one of whom was still an intellectual beauty!

"May I ask Mr. Wang, are you also invited to today's meeting?"

"Of course!"

"We are reporters from Oriental Daily, can I ask you a few questions?"

"Okay!" Wang Zifan was in a good mood at this time, made an exception and agreed, jokingly: "For the sake of the beauty, I will give you five minutes!"

Hearing Wang Zifan's interview, the two reporters of "Oriental Daily" were very excited, which surprised them too much, before this, the reporter who could interview Wang Zifan could count a slap in the face, even if the interview was not substantive today, it would make them famous, as long as they took this line, they might be able to become famous!

"Does Oriental Entertainment Group have any plans to go public?" the intellectual beauty took the lead in asking, not wanting to delay this precious five minutes!

"I don't have any plans to do that yet!"

"How do you feel about Wanda's market value exceeding 15 billion?"

"It may surprise you, but for me it's expected!"

"Mr. Wang, I am a reporter from the South China Morning Post, and I heard that you hold 21% of Hutchison Whampoa shares and are the second largest shareholder on the board of directors, is this true?" This reporter from the South China Morning Post was originally interviewing Shaw, and when he saw Wang Zifan being interviewed, he came to grab the 'business' here.

"This news is true!" Wang Zifan replied truthfully, and also wanted to announce the news, so that all Hong Kong people knew that Hongkong Land. The Chinese real estate blockade war, Li Jiacheng is not his generosity, but he has a handle in his hands, these words are not said, some media reporters will report indiscriminately, last month I saw an article boasting about Li Jiacheng, he was disgusted and wanted to vomit!

The two reporters of the Oriental Daily seemed dissatisfied with the rush of their peers, and the male reporter immediately asked a third question.

"Mr. Wang, are you here to take a stand?"

"Hehe, if everyone here means this, I have nothing to say!"

"Mr. Wang, are you a leftist?"

"This question confuses me too, people from Hong Kong's leftist film companies say I'm a rightist, and my friends in the news media scold me for being a leftist, and you say I belong to that faction?" Wang Zifan shrugged his shoulders and looked very wronged, but this is all a fact, and some people accuse him of being duplicitous! Fortunately, the dust has settled on the issue of Hong Kong's return to the motherland, and there are many fewer topics to discuss in this regard!

"Haha......"

Hearing Wang Zifan's funny self-deprecation, the three reporters couldn't help laughing.

The reporter of the South China Morning Post recorded the record quickly and did not forget to ask: "Mr. Wang, can you tell us why the DreamWorks movie is a big hit and can still make American money!"

Wang Zifan smiled: "If I tell you, are you planning to change careers to make movies?"

The reporter was embarrassed: "Of course not!"

Wang Zifan said: "Then there is nothing to say, if you are really interested in these, you can go to DreamWorks to see in person, the system adopted by our company, the cooperation of various departments, and the talent training process, etc., I believe you will gain something!"

The reporter couldn't help but say: "Actually, what I want to interview most is the computer special effects department!"

"For the sake of your foresight, I agree!" Wang Zifan casually found a reason for himself, some media are willing to publicize computer stunts, why should he refuse! The influence of the South China Morning Post has spread all over Hong Kong, Macao, Singapore, and even all of Asia, and he has done publicity, saving him a lot of publicity expenses, and you must know that computer stunts can not only be used for film production, but also have business in other aspects.

"Mr. Wang, are you interested in accepting an exclusive interview with us?" This time it was a beautiful reporter who asked, and she saw that there was not much time left, so she thought of a trick.

"What do you say?"

"Mr. Wang, can I take a picture of you?"

"Yes, but it's ...... to be taken"

"I know, it's a little handsome!"

"No, be mature!"

"Hehe, I will!"

Click!

Wang Zifan left the only positive photo, this reporter is still very skilled, shooting from a specific light and angle, plus he deliberately pretends to be old, he seems to be in his thirties, and his face adds a lot of mature charm!

The interview with Qiu Degen and Kui Yifu on the opposite side also ended, and the uncrowned kings left satisfied, continuing to interview others, leaving the two old men with a bitter smile.

Wang Zifan smiled and said, "Uncle Gen, Sixth Uncle, what's wrong with you?"

Qiu Degen smiled bitterly: "Today's reporters are really getting more and more bottomless, and they dare to ask any question!"

"Yes!" Yi Yifu nodded in agreement, just now the two of "Apple Daily" actually asked him about the status of his concubine, if it weren't for the prince's sake, he really wanted to throw his sleeves and leave!

How could Wang Zifan carry this pot, and said seriously: "This should be spread in Europe and the United States, and this kind of reporter is called 'paparazzi'! Sixth Uncle and Uncle Gen, you should be extra careful when you encounter it in the future, these people are notoriously not afraid of madness!"

Qiu Degen smiled bitterly when he heard this, if he had known that these reporters were paparazzi, he would not have accepted the interview, and even asked his sons face-to-face how they fought for the family property, which was embarrassing and speechless.

Seeing the two old people's faces, Wang Zifan began to change the topic, talking about the prospects of the TV industry, with the rise of Jiashi, Hong Kong TV ushered in spring, even the opponent wireless, ATV have attracted the attention of international investors, wireless as a listed company, benefited the most, since New Year's Day, although the ratings have failed to Jiashi again and again, but his market value has soared by more than 20%, and the wireless directors are going to be stunned by this pie.

"Hehe, Uncle Six, I almost forgot to congratulate, the wireless stock price has risen sharply!"

Hearing this, Shaw quipped: "Why, you kid still want a red envelope!"

Qiu Degen said with a smile: "Don't worry, the Chinese New Year is coming soon, and it's not too late to send red envelopes when the time comes!"

Wang Zifan touched his nose, he was really embarrassed to be teased by the two old men, and said: "Just now the reporter asked me if the TV station has a plan to go public?"

Shaw and Qiu Degen have taken a serious look at it, they also want to know this question, if Jiashi is listed, it will have a certain impact on wireless and ATV, but in the long run, the better the development of Jiashi, wireless and ATV can also be stained, and when a real international predator appears, Wang Zifan will not sell Jiashi, and the value of their two TV stations will be highlighted.

Wang Zifan said: "Seriously, I will not arrange for the TV station to be listed at any time!"

Qiu Degen is determined in his heart, as long as Jiashi does not go public to make money, ATV has a future!

But Shaw persuaded: "In fact, going public is still good for the company!"

Wang Zifan smiled and didn't speak, he used to be a little interested in wireless, if Shaw wanted to sell, he might buy it, but now he can't manage the many industries under his name, even the weakest Chinese real estate, in terms of strength and prospects, are several times stronger than wireless, fade the halo, TVB is a pheasant, let Shaw and Fang Yihua toss!

"Ah Fan has a big heart!" Qiu Degen couldn't help but sigh, he could still face Wang Zifan strongly in the first two years, and now the Qiu family has lagged behind the Wang family in all aspects, especially the Far Eastern Bank incident, the Indonesian Lin Empire intervened, which made both sides very unhappy, he lost the negotiation capital, and Wang Zifan also had no chance to be a banker, and a win-win situation turned into a lose-lose situation!

Wang Zifan said lightly: "Uncle Gen has won the award!"

Seeing that Shaw was puzzled on the other side, Qiu Degen would briefly introduce that he still hoped to cooperate with Wang Zifan to develop the Far Eastern Bank, but unfortunately the other shareholders of the bank preferred Indonesia's Lin, and if Shaw could pull a few partners to participate, he might be able to make a difference.

Shaw still disappointed Qiu Degen, he didn't think about investing in a bank at all, but asked with a smile: "Ah Fan wants to invest in a bank?"

Wang Zifan nodded and admitted that this is not a big problem, but that many of his current layouts have to rely on banks, Li Jiacheng is already a director of HSBC, and he can't be cheeky enough to ask to join!

Shaw said with a smile: "I don't know much about banks, but I know that a bank is worth buying, and some time ago I invited the Kui family to join the shares!"

Qiu Degen said unexpectedly: "Could it be HSBC?"

Wang Zifan immediately vetoed this possibility, maybe with the strength of Nanyang, the Dian family has this family, but this family is not united, it can't be twisted into a rope, no matter how strong it is, what's the use, Qiu Degen is a person in the eighties after all, and he can't see all kinds of information on the Internet!

Sure enough, Shaw shook his head and said with a smile to another bank: "It's standard Standard Chartered!"

The so-called standard chartered is the Standard Chartered Bank, there are only two banks in Hong Kong that are qualified to issue Hong Kong banknotes, one is HSBC, the other is Standard Chartered, the Hong Kong branch of the Bank of China will not have this qualification until 1994, it is worth mentioning that the amount of Hong Kong banknotes issued by Standard Chartered Bank is greater than HSBC! In the past, there was a favorable bank, and HSBC and Standard Chartered were called the three major banks in Hong Kong, but unfortunately in the 50s, they were acquired by HSBC!

Wang Zifan's eyes have already lit up, his ultimate goal in joining the banking industry is to acquire HSBC, in addition to the high market value of HSBC in the future, there is another important reason, that is, HSBC is qualified to issue Hong Kong dollars, what a tall bank in the eyes of ordinary people, now another bank also has this function, and there is an opportunity for acquisition, and the surprise in my heart is indescribable!

Shaw smiled: "If you have time to learn more about Standard Chartered, and if you want to join the board of directors, I can introduce you to it!"

"Thank you, Sixth Uncle!" Wang Zifan nodded happily, today's harvest is too great!

Qiu Degen sighed secretly, Wang Zifan's banking dream came true, but his plan was shattered!

Indeed, Wang Zifan has been considering the plan to acquire the bank, but Wang Zifan has not yet decided which bank to acquire, Far Eastern Bank, and even HSBC are in his consideration, counting Standard Chartered Bank, it is three, each of these three banks has its own advantages, but also has its own shortcomings, the advantage of HSBC is that HSBC has strong business capabilities in China and Europe and the United States, especially in China and Southeast Asia, In this part of East Asia, HSBC has enough integrity, especially in the mainland, HSBC has obtained the right to collect national customs duties and salt taxes, and by the beginning of the 20th century, HSBC has become the largest bank in the Far East.

Foreign exchange traded by HSBC often accounts for 60-70% of the turnover of the Shanghai foreign exchange market.

This is not an achievement that any bank can do, but HSBC's shortcomings are also obvious, and after entering the 80s, HSBC's interest in acquiring banks soared, and in 1980, HSBC took a stake in SITC Bank in the United States, and in the following years made it a wholly-owned subsidiary of HSBC, and in 1981, HSBC acquired an absolute stake in Equator Holdings Limited;

There are successes and failures, and it was also in 1981 that HSBC actually bought the Royal Bank of Scotland, and at one time when it was about to succeed, the British government intervened, and although the acquisition failed, the interest in acquiring the large British banks did not wane. However, although HSBC is very interested in acquiring banks, after the failure of the acquisition of the Royal Bank of Scotland in 81, HSBC had a period of crisis, and then Li Jiacheng joined the board of directors, with Wang Zifan's current strength, challenging the HSBC + Li Jiacheng consortium, obviously hitting the stone with an egg, and it will be broken with one blow!

In the 21st century, when it comes to HSBC, 99 out of 100 people know it, but when it comes to Standard Chartered Bank, I'm afraid it's not so widely known.

Don't look at the relatively small reputation of Standard Chartered Bank, but his advantage is obvious, that is, Standard Chartered Bank's parent company, Standard Chartered Group Co., Ltd., is one of the constituent stocks of the London Financial Times 100 Index, and Standard Chartered Bank is currently one of the note-issuing banks in Hong Kong.

Moreover, Standard Chartered has a top position among banks in developing countries, which is unmatched by many banks.

If Wang Zifan acquires Standard Chartered Bank, his influence will go beyond Hong Kong and radiate to the world, which is enough for Li Jiacheng to struggle for 30 years!

The disadvantage of Standard Chartered is that it is worse than HSBC's business in Europe and the United States, and its business is mainly concentrated in emerging markets such as Asia, the Indian subcontinent, Africa, East and Latin America, and has fewer customers in the United Kingdom.

If you want to buy Standard Chartered Bank, in addition to the opportunity that Run Run said, Wang Zifan still remembers one thing, that is, not long after, the British Rice Bank had intended to acquire Standard Chartered Bank, and this acquisition war once forced Standard Chartered to a dead end.

Rice Bank is the oldest bank in the United Kingdom, there is no one, his existence is almost the earliest in British history, and it is also the first bank in Birmingham, speaking of Rice Bank, you may know that there are few people, but his strength is undoubted, enough to be comparable to Citibank and other large banks in the world.

How could Shaw have thought that he only said one sentence, Wang Zifan thought about it so much, and he also had a comprehensive plan, that is, when Rice Bank started the acquisition, he would appear as an angel savior in white, which would be more acceptable to those shareholders of Standard Chartered!
