Chapter 129: A Phone Call
Morgan's credit rating was not widely promoted in Xiangjiang at this time, but this did not hinder his influence, after all, major rating agencies such as Moody's would be affected by him at a certain time, and the most important thing was that Morgan's investment and banking industry had too much influence.
His downgrade of Qingfeng Group is a joke in the eyes of the beryllium bronze people, after all, Xiangjiang and Southeast Asia are not affected by him, but it is different at the top, especially in the business and banking circles, Morgan is the god of the investment community, there is no doubt that the rating announced by Morgan is too strong for their thinking.
In less than half an hour after the release of Morgan's rating announcement, Standard Chartered Bank took the lead in responding to the announcement of downgrading, who made the Standard Chartered Investment Department and Zhao Qing hot, Qingfeng Group did not say anything at all, Standard Chartered this interest-based guy, it is impossible not to make changes because of fear of offending people, after all, he is a bank, most of the companies still require him, it doesn't matter if you lose a company, and the most important thing is that Qingfeng Group's transaction volume in Standard Chartered is low and pitiful.
The announcement of Standard Chartered Bank is like a domino, a person stretches out a hand and pushes him, and it is difficult to help each other up.
"What's going on? We've offended Morgan Investments, why would he do this to us?"
The office of the chairman of Qingfeng Group was in a mess at this time, Zhao Yuanqing gasped for breath, his face became red, and the president of the finance department, the general manager of the investment department, Zhao Jingguang and others standing in front of him were silent, their faces were worried, and no one spoke.
They don't know why Morgan would suddenly make such an announcement, especially when they are engaged in a financial war with Zhao Qing, which is unscientific, especially in a society in the West where interests are the main focus, but credibility is still important.
"Dad, is it Zhao Qing who gave them benefits, we don't know about Crowke, but according to their greed, this matter is not impossible, you see if we look for HSBC and let them issue a rebuttal report, HSBC and Morgan are very competitive. ”
Under Zhao Yuanqing's gaze, Zhao Jingguang had to bite the bullet and say what he thought in his heart, which was the only way he could think of now.
Although he didn't want to think like this, he couldn't help but think like this, Zhao Qing had been in the United States for nearly three years, and he also made his home there, so it was hard to guarantee that Morgan had any connection.
"Chairman, do we want to contact President Crawk of Morgan, we don't have much friendship with him now, but it is difficult to guarantee that we will not deal with them in the future, he can't not look at the future for the sake of the present, the strength of our group is there. ”
Cao Zijie, the chief financial officer, took over the topic after Zhao Jingguang finished speaking.
In Cao Zijie's heart, he was helpless, the war between father and son could be fought like this, he couldn't imagine how strong Zhao Qing's strength was, after all, Qingfeng Group was already at a disadvantage in the general direction, just because Zhao Qing had no entity, and now all that leaked out was cash flow, and more importantly, he was acquiring Hang Seng Bank, which meant that the cash flow in his hands was huge.
But in the huge, he also has a difficulty, that is, the fat man of Qingfeng Group can't afford such a large amount of money, and more importantly, Zhao Qing must set aside a part of the funds, and it is impossible to invest all of them.
From the current transaction, the news that he can use not much cash flow, but the Standard Chartered Bank has made too many moves, thus covering up this fact.
If it weren't for Morgan's horizontal fork, he would be confident that he would repel Standard Chartered Bank or Zhao Qing, but with this change, it became difficult to say.
The most important point is that after returning from studying in the United States, he clearly knows the influence of Morgan in the European capital market, and Standard Chartered Bank has lost his influence.
If you can't do Morgan's work quickly, then there will be more variables in the future, and Zhao Yuanqing's work will be abandoned halfway.
"Knock Knock"
Just when Zhao Yuanqing wanted to say something, there was a knock at the door.
"Come in. ”
Zhao Yuanqing stopped what he wanted to say, calmed down and shouted.
"Chairman, this is a fax from DBS Bank. ”
Zhao Yuanqing's beautiful secretary walked to the desk with a piece of paper in her hand, put him in front of Zhao Yuanqing, and turned around and walked out.
"Bastards, these bastards ,,,,,"
After reading the fax in his hand, which was only a few lines, Zhao Yuanqing uncontrollably started a fire, and threw out the only teacup he could catch.
"Dad, what's going on,,,,,,,"
Zhao Jingguang saw his father's appearance and asked in a low voice.
"There was a message from DBS headquarters asking them to carefully assess the group's finances and asking us to take out collateral before we could lend, and credit would not be executed without collateral. ,,,,,,,These devils, bastards who take advantage of the fire,,,,,,"
Zhao Yuanqing said viciously, but what can you do even if you are angry? Isn't the bank like this, when you succeed, you see that it is profitable, and you desperately come to the door to sell, but only a little accident happens, and it is faster to turn your face immediately than to turn the book.
"Chairman, we have to contact President Crocker to see what he needs, we have to get him to change the rating announcement, or we're going to be in big trouble. ”
At this time, Cao Zijie suddenly stood up and walked in front of Zhao Yuanqing and said, his face was full of nervousness, he had no way not to be nervous, DBS Bank suddenly changed, this is the role of Morgan Ratings, his influence is too great.
Influence is intangible, but when it becomes tangible, it erupts with immeasurable power, and now it has begun to explode.
"Zijie, come on, you and Crocker are alumni, and you have this relationship so you can talk. ”
The importance of Cao Zijie's words, how could Zhao Yuanqing not know it, now that he has begun to exert his power, after thinking about it, finally Zhao Yuanqing pointed to the phone that was not thrown away and said.
This is not the time to be humble, Cao Zijie did not shirk anything, directly picked up the phone at hand, pressed a few numbers and dialed out.
The people in the office calmed their breath, no one dared to speak, and no one dared to breathe loudly, they all knew the importance of this call.
This is a point in time to wait for fate to be pronounced, and this is something he cannot change.
"Ding Ding Ding ,,,,,"
The phone hadn't been answered yet, but another phone rang out at an inopportune time.
"Chairman, Mr. Xu of Minghua Real Estate called to talk to you. ”
Minghua Real Estate is the most important partner of Qingfeng Group, more than 40% of the projects of Qingfeng Group have been contracted by Minghua Real Estate, and most of Minghua Real Estate is to work first and then settle the payment, which is also what Zhao Yuanqing values the most, after all, this can save a lot of money during the construction and make a lot of money in the rest of the place.
"Come in. ”
"Brother Xu, is there anything important about the call at this time?"
"Dong Zhao, save my brother, my brother's company is about to be acquired, I need funds to alleviate it, otherwise my brother will be swept away." ”
