……

The roof leak happened to rain overnight......

Tiger fell in Pingyang and was bullied by dogs......

These are the words that Pu Weishi most wants to use to describe his current feelings. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

For He Shanheng, who was determined to lead Hengsheng to leave, he was so dry in the negotiation that he was left with only one sentence left, "What benefits did Tang Huan promise to make you so desperate that you insisted on leaving HSBC?" ”

"You thought wrong from the beginning, Hang Seng had no intention of getting involved in the entanglement between HSBC and Qinhe, but was siphoned off a lot of resources by HSBC because of this." He Shanheng, who has always maintained a pampered posture, explained in a gentle tone: "My decision is just for the sake of Hengsheng's interests. As powerful as HSBC, it has to use an internationalization strategy to avoid political risks, so why is it strange that Hang Seng wants to fully control its own destiny? If you have to find responsibility, you can only blame HSBC for creating such an opportunity. ”

Pu Weishi, who was poor in words, was choked and rolled his eyes, and finally could only say stupidly: "Don't you just want to take back the control of Hang Seng, you can do as you wish, but you must also be prepared to be opened by the lion of HSBC." ”

"I can understand that although HSBC has a big business, the recent expenses are really considerable." Ho Shanheng smiled slightly, "From this point of view, HSBC can let go of Hang Seng and replenish its cash flow in a timely manner." ”

Pu Weishi snorted, not receiving the other party's favor at all. HSBC let go of Hang Seng, not only one less "cow" that contributes to stable income, but also one more competitor in the Xiangjiang market, not to mention more entanglement in his heart.

At the beginning, Pu Weishi did have the idea of never letting go, but He Shanheng's attitude was very resolute - if HSBC did not agree, then quickly sent a new management to take over Hang Seng, and he would not do anything on his side.

The trick of breaking the net immediately threatened HSBC.

It's not that the dignified HSBC was forced by Tang Huan to be so anxious that it couldn't be pulled out, but the difference between the Chinese banks and the British-funded foreign banks in the circle brought about the predictable difficulty of taking over, which is really prohibitive.

Ho Sin Heng, the founder of Hang Seng, is the unyielding and long-awaited spiritual leader of Hang Seng. Deeply influenced by Confucian culture, he has written books and lectures to provide training to the staff of Hang Seng Bank, and has even been further adopted as an indispensable training material by the entire Heung Kong banking community.

Therefore, at least within the scope of Hengsheng, there are He Shanheng's disciples and grandchildren everywhere. If he leads people out, the daily operation structure of Hang Seng Bank will definitely be hollowed out, and no matter how arrogant HSBC is, it has no confidence to really support the scattered Hang Seng.

Rather than adding a loss out of thin air, HSBC might as well consider how to make a profit on Hang Seng.

In the final analysis, Tang Huan grabbed the seven inches of HSBC, forcing it to be unwilling, but it could only comply step by step.

Now that we are about to enter 1988, there are less than 10 years left before the return of Hong Kong, which seems to be quite abundant, but for a giant like HSBC, the promotion of internationalization cannot afford to be delayed.

Ocean Bank of America has been operating hard for more than 10 years to have its current melon ripeness; The Mitland Bank on the British side is also the only option that does not have this store in this village.

Compared with these more important strategic layouts, losing control of Hengsheng is painfully reluctant, but it is not absolutely unacceptable.

……

When the preconditions for handing over control of Hang Seng Bank were met, HSBC couldn't wait to start negotiations with Tang Huan about Midland Bank.

HSBC is indeed a little anxious, and Standard Chartered Bank on the Xiangjiang side has not yet shown its intention to participate in the competition; But there is definite news from the British side that Lloyds Bank, one of the four major British banks, which had tried to make a hostile takeover of Standard Chartered Bank last year but was repelled by the White Knights formed by Bao Yugang and Chiu Teck Put, has also set its sights on Midland Bank.

It's just that Tang Huan is too dark, and he offers another $1.6 billion for the Midland Bank, which he has mastered in various forms. No matter how rich HSBC is, it is a little unbearable.

Although it is not known that Tang Huan only paid a sweeping price of more than $400 million for the 14.9% stake in Midland Bank that he ostensibly controlled, HSBC can clearly feel how this old rival is maliciously asking for a sky-high price.

……

Just when the two sides of the secret meeting were nervously bargaining, Hu Yinmeng, who accompanied his father to visit relatives in the mainland, returned to Xiangjiang.

"How about it, you mainland family visiting group that has set a precedent, everything will go well on the mainland." Tang Huan asked with interest.

"The mainland officials are very well prepared, helping most of the members find their relatives who have been separated for decades, and the joys and sorrows of the world are one after another." After Hu Yinmeng's introduction, he also asked about HSBC, "How is it, this rich man has been cleaned up by you, right?" ”

"The second knife is being discussed, how to cut the meat is fatty, and HSBC is willing to accept it." Tang Huanzhi laughed proudly, and then changed the conversation and said: "When I went to visit Media Asia TV after the fire, I happened to meet with Shao Yifu, and he specifically talked about the willingness to cooperate in the further exchange of artists and the compatibility of Miss Xiangjiang and Miss Chinese. ”

"Fang Yihua has already tested my tone. None of them are fuel-efficient lamps, and the abacus inside crackles. Hu Yinmeng cut off, "Let's talk about the further exchange and use of artists, there has been a small shortage of TVB in recent years, especially after the attempted uprising of Andy Lau and others' Five Tiger Generals" was suppressed, it made people's hearts fluctuate. ”

"In order to solve this problem, this year TVB held an event called 'Supernova Election', with the purpose of discovering new stars for TV dramas. The final winner is the male superstar - Peng Wenjian, the female superstar - Liang Peiling, and was sent together into TVB's Jin Yong martial arts TV series "Book Sword Enmity and Enmity" to celebrate Taiwan's celebration this year, playing the male protagonist Chen Jialuo and the heroine Princess Xiangxiang respectively. ”

"As a result, the well-known plan encountered Waterloo this time, and the audience didn't buy it at all."

"In fact, there are traces of this result, Peng Wenjian, who plays the protagonist Chen Jialuo, is only 18 years old this year, in addition to his acting skills are a little immature, his temperament is far from the same, which has caused a wave of bad comments from the audience.

"It's strange to say, they are also newcomers, and the two heroines in the play, Luo Huijuan and Liang Peiling, played by Huo Qingtong and Princess Xiangxiang, have successfully entered the entertainment industry, and TVB's popularity has not been in vain."

Tang Huan said with a smile: "Maybe female artists are easier to control, so it is easier to produce talents, while the minds of male artists are more complicated, after all, the current pressure on men in Xiangjiang society is more realistic and heavier." ”

"Maybe. Now TVB's most hard-working student is Tony Leung. Hu Yinmeng nodded, "On the other hand, DreamWorks has attracted and even intercepted many young people who planned to sign up for TVB since the day the artist training class and the training system of the Xiangjiang Academy of Performing Arts took shape. ”

Tang Huan opened the gap of TVB's absolute monopoly on its artists very early, and DreamWorks can hire each other's stars, although Fang Yihua did not make a small obstacle in private, but this tradition was still formed.

It can be said that this mechanism of exchanging financial resources for growth space played an important role in the early development of DreamWorks; Now TVB wants to be fed back, which is quite ironic, but it is also very smart.

Tang Huan did not object to this kind of cooperation, and instead asked, "What about the beauty pageant?" ”

"The main reason is that Miss Chinese and Miss Xiangjiang fought too fiercely this year, although they didn't tear their faces and directly arranged the event to fight in the ring on the same day, but they also diverted social attention from each other that cannot be ignored."

Hu Yin dreamed, "TVB is no longer a mechanism dominated by artistic creation, Gan Guoliang's resignation is very revealing, the ongoing group spin-off, will inevitably cause greater financial pressure, there is no stable tertiary industry, to form a horn to support each other, TVB is a pure TV station, and is unwilling to continue to play the game of financial competition with Media Asia TV and DreamWorks." ”

"And in essence, Miss Chinese and Miss Xiangjiang have different goals, TVB hopes that Miss Chinese will completely set her sights on the Chinese community around the world, while Xiangjiang will leave the division of labor to Miss Xiangjiang, and then send the winner to participate in the Miss Chinese competition."

"The pattern of the Xiangjiang River is limited, so such coordination is a good way to get the best of both worlds." Tang Huan's tone was full of approval.

"TVB is in trouble, so I lowered my figure and sought in-depth cooperation between the two companies, which seems infinitely beautiful on the surface, but in the specific implementation process, bumps and bumps are absolutely indispensable, and it is troublesome!" Hu Yinmeng rolled his eyes, and showed his unpositive attitude angrily.

"The scenery should be long-term, and it should be broad-sighted." Tang Huan said a little unconcernedly: "The fire of Media Asia TV will inevitably make DreamWorks lose a powerful terminal to release program content, and the construction of the new headquarters cannot be so fast, and it will take some time for it to fully resume broadcasting, so it may be a good thing for TVB to borrow the light of DreamWorks' strong production capabilities." ”

Hu Yinmeng muttered suspiciously: "How do I think, not only are you not annoyed by the burning of the headquarters of Media Asia TV, but you are a little happy, is it the extra $80 million given by HSBC that makes you feel that you have taken a big advantage?" ”

"Don't talk nonsense, so as not to shake the military heart of Media Asia TV." Tang Huan patted Hu Yinmeng, "Perhaps, this is really an arrangement in the dark." ”

……

Under strong pressure, HSBC finally knelt down, and Tang Huan's 14.9% stake in Mitland Bank, which he bought for $400 million, turned into more than 400 million pounds.

In fact, as Bao Yugang once said, if HSBC can invite Tang Huan into its board of directors, all the troubles will be much easier to solve.

But apparently hypothetical is hypothetical, and HSBC can only vomit blood now to make up for its mistakes with real money. It's like a big man who has been seriously ill, and he has lost weight at a speed that is visible to the naked eye.

But that's not all, another side dish that Tang Huan has cooked for HSBC -- creating an HSBC shareholder panel to sue HSBC for its mismanagement and protect its rights and interests -- has already begun to spread across Hong Kong.

What made the media and the public stumble the most was that Liu Luanxiong, the "bone removal expert" who used to be an HSBC thug and charged into the position to snipe at the Xiangjiang electric light in the stock market, appeared to tell all kinds of inside stories as an almost "tainted witness", and even quickly published a book to illustrate the endless bizarre nature of the capital market with examples.

At this moment, Liu Luanxiong became famous again, but not in the form of a stock market sniper, but in the form of a writer, and even held a signing meeting in the trading square where the Xiangjiang Securities Stock Exchange is located, attracting a large number of onlookers.

The photo of Liu Luanxiong wearing glasses and carrying a pen like a flying pen in the newspaper made people talk about it - this guy can't afford to tear down his own bones, how can he change careers and do the business of breaking the news, so he is not afraid of annoying the big man and causing death?

But the actual situation is that Liu Luanxiong, who has a new halo, is very safe, and his books are even more popular outside Hong Kong, and there is no distinction between high and low in Hong Kong, and many people's desks have his masterpieces written with blood and tears.

It is not difficult to imagine that Liu Luanxiong's revelations have more and more confirmed HSBC's various improper practices.

However, the Hong Kong government has said vaguely that it does not intend to hold HSBC responsible.

After the stock market crash in October, the Hang Seng Index fell to the point in early December, and finally hit the bottom, and compared with the previous peak of more than 4,000 points, it was directly cut by more than half.

It can be seen from this that the Hong Kong capital market has been hit hard.

The Hong Kong government used this as the main excuse to believe that the restoration of economic order in Hong Kong could not be separated from HSBC, a quasi-central bank.

This argument has won the support of many Chinese elites, who directly ask the question -- How to fill the blanks left after the collapse of HSBC, and do we expect those Chinese-funded banks that have been failing one after another, or will we let the Bank of China, which represents the mainland, come up?

In particular, when HSBC inevitably admitted that it had made a small business mistake and signed a so-called "new accounting arrangement" with the Financial Affairs Division of the Hong Kong government, that is, to open a Hong Kong dollar account with the foreign exchange funds of the Hong Kong government, and maintain a balance of not less than the total net settlement accounts of all other banks in the entire Hong Kong banking system, this group even shouted, "HSBC is going to let go of the responsibility of the central bank, what should Hong Kong do?" ”

Tang Huan's reaction to this was very speechless - Nima, when a slave is a dependency, there is really no way. (To be continued.) )
