Chapter 109: Visit

Guan Fei did not affect the work plan because of MacLehose's invitation, and still accompanied by lawyer Liu Zhengying, went to the Chief Secretary to submit an application for the establishment of a science and technology investment bank, with a registered capital of 100 million Hong Kong dollars. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info↖,

A photocopy of a cashier's check of US$22 million issued by the Bank of China as proof of capital contribution is attached to the application; Photocopy of the three-year tenancy agreement on the 1st and 2nd floors of One Pacific Place, 88 Queensway as proof of the bank's premises. In addition, the bank's shareholder description, share allocation, composition of the board of directors, shareholder identity information and other relevant documents shall be submitted together.

The application for the establishment of five trust and investment management companies, including the Innovation and Technology Investment Management Company and the China Trust Management Company, as well as the relevant documents and materials such as capital contribution and share composition were also submitted.

A bank and several affiliated venture capital companies are the main cornerstones of Guan Fei's construction of the Oriental Silicon Valley.

Absorb deposits through banks to expand the source of funds. The deposit will then be re-lented to the venture capital company, which will invest in the relevant technology company according to Guan Fei's intention, support entrepreneurs who have obtained their own technical support, and set up a technology innovation company. After success, you can use the venture capital agreement to obtain a controlling stake in the company, and after listing, you can make a large amount of money and achieve high returns.

It is inevitable that there will be investment failures.

For a normal venture capital firm, the probability of failure of the venture capital is at least half, and the probability of the final profit is only about 30%.

However, with the guidance of a forward-looking vision, the probability of failure will be greatly reduced, and it is not difficult to achieve an investment success rate of more than half.

Moreover, even if there is an accident due to some force majeure factors, it does not matter if the investment fails in the end. Establish a new venture capital company, transfer high-quality assets, and directly bankrupt the original company. As long as the shell is changed, it can continue to operate without shaking the foundation of the main body of the bank behind it.

In Guan Fei's era, he heard and witnessed all kinds of capital operations, even if he was not an expert in this area, he was much stronger than a Chinese-funded enterprise that had just opened the country and thought that it was a beautiful place outside.

The staff member who accepted the information looked a little surprised, did not say when it would be reviewed, how long it would take to pass, and the answer was vague.

Guan Fei didn't care, and immediately left the Chief Secretary Department, accompanied by the manager of the Bank of China, Bian Hong, lawyer Liu Zhengying, and Pan Meifeng's father, Pan Jialiang, all the way to visit various banks and introduce him to his members in the association. Hong Kong's banks are mainly foreign-owned, especially British-funded, and after the opening of licenses, a large number of American-capitalized, Japanese-funded, and European-funded banks have poured in.

These foreign banks have a higher threshold, and those who do not have their headquarters in Hong Kong must have a total deposit amount of HK$14 billion before they can apply for a license to become a licensed bank that can handle all deposit and loan business and operate completely independently.

For Guan Fei and others, the local heads of these big banks behaved politely but not enthusiastically.

The head office behind them is all large banks with strong capital, and naturally they have little interest in a small bank established by local capital like Guan Fei. However, after all, they are operating locally, and maybe there will be business contacts in the future, and the reception is quite polite, even if there is no high-level personal reception, there are also relevant outreach department managers to accompany them, and there is no slackness in the attitude.

British-funded banks such as HSBC and Standard Chartered were quite indifferent, and the high-level officials did not say anything, and there were no high-grade middle-level cadres who came out to receive them, leaving them in the reception room and ignoring them, not taking them seriously at all. There are also several British-funded banks, which simply used the excuse that the high-level executives had gone out to let Guan Fei eat the closed door.

Guan Fei just took the opportunity to announce the arrival of the Taiyu Department to the local banking industry, but he did not ask the other party for anything. Since the other party did not accept him, he had no interest in sitting on the cold bench, so he quickly left.

After a round of sightseeing, Guan Fei arrived at the last few Chinese-funded banks visited, and the other party's senior executives went out to greet them collectively. During the meeting, the chairman personally came forward to receive the guests, and most of the bank directors were also accompanied, and they were extremely enthusiastic. The two sides had a very pleasant conversation and expressed their willingness to strengthen ties and communicate more, which created a good atmosphere for business cooperation in the future.

Most of the Chinese-funded banks in Hong Kong started from the operation of traditional silver accounts in the early years, and gradually accumulated customer resources, reputation and capital, and it took decades to develop.

Their capital is not too sufficient, most of them have several hundred million deposits, their own funds do not exceed 100 million, and the few are only nearly 100 million deposits, and their own capital is 10 million or 20 million, and their operation is very difficult.

Over the past few decades, Hong Kong has experienced internal and external troubles such as the Japanese war, the return of the British after the war, the border blockade after the founding of the People's Republic of China, and the political turmoil in the 60s. In the face of extremely strong British banks, Chinese banks can only struggle to support, and their development is slow.

At the same time, the outdated and greedy business philosophy of Chinese-funded banks, regardless of their own limited capital, often turn their funds to speculative business in order to grab high profits, so they collapse in large numbers as soon as they encounter a trend.

In the banking industry rebuilt after World War II, there were only a dozen or so Chinese-funded banks that remained, and after that, they experienced several runs in the past 60 years, and were successively taken over by the government and swallowed up by the big banks, leaving only seven or eight. The remaining Chinese-funded banks are barely trying to maintain themselves, ranking last among all their banking colleagues in Hong Kong, and they may collapse at any time.

They have been squeezed by foreign banks all the year round, and their operations are difficult, so it is natural for them to huddle together for warmth.

The directors of several Chinese-funded banks live in close proximity, from the elders to the next generation, who are now in power, and they have a good personal relationship with each other, often exchanging news, running in the morning, drinking morning tea, and exchanging views on something.

When Guan Fei went to visit Mr. Feng Yaojing, the founder of Wing Hang Bank, Ho Sin Heng, the founder of Hang Seng Bank, his son Lin Xiuliang, and the current chairman of Wing Lung, Wu Bugang, immediately rushed to meet him when they heard the news and had a good greeting.

When Lin Xiuliang came, his expression was a little serious, his brows were furrowed, and he looked preoccupied. When he spoke, he was also absent-minded, often suddenly falling into silence, his eyes were blurred, everyone could see that he was not in the right state, and the loud and loud talk and laughter that had been enthusiastic before gradually cooled down.

Guan Fei and the others all stopped, but he didn't react, he still looked confused, and his eyes were staring at a certain place in a daze without focus.

"Ah Liang, what's wrong with you? If you're not feeling well, you might as well go back and rest. His childhood friend, Wu Bugang, the former head of Wing Lung Bank, worried.

"Oh, it's okay!" Lin Xiuliang suddenly came back to his senses, smiled reluctantly, and denied that he was unwell.

"What's that? With our friendship, there is nothing that can not be said. If you have any difficulties, maybe we can help too! Wu Bugang put his arm on his shoulder, very concerned.

"Alas, what else could ......"

Lin Xiuliang let out a long sigh, with a hint of anger in his melancholy: "Of course it's a good view!" You also know that Jiashi spends too much money on filming, and there is not much advertising revenue. In order to make up for the shortfall, our Lin family injected capital into the TV station, but who knew that it was investigated by the Executive Bureau, saying that we had changed the composition of our shares and ordered us to withdraw our funds. This year, Jiashi introduced Zhou Liang Shuyi again, and made a big amount of filming, and what kind of 'July offensive' to engage in is even more expensive. If this continues, I am afraid that Jiashi will not last until the end of the year, and the funds will dry up, and if it goes bankrupt, it may affect our Hengsheng. ”

Liu Zhengying was next to Guan Fei, leaning over and whispering to him to explain the contradiction between Hengsheng and Jiashi.

Jiashi's share turmoil has lasted from last year to this year, and the employees in Taiwan are panicked, and the Hong Kong Governor personally instructed the Executive Bureau to come forward, and the Hong Kong is boiling, and no one knows about it.

When Jiashi was founded, there were six shareholders.

These six shareholders are Commercial Taiwan, Lin Family, Jardine Matheson, Sing Tao Daily, Overseas Chinese Daily, and Industrial and Commercial Daily. In addition, Commercial Taiwan has the largest number of shares and occupies an absolute dominant position, and the general manager of Jiashi is served by the investor of Commercial Taiwan.

Among them, Jardine Matheson is British-owned, Commercial Television, Sing Tao Daily, Industrial and Commercial Daily are all well-known pro-British media, and the Lin family only holds a minority stake.

Jiashi is positioned as a free-to-air television station, and its license stipulates that the station must broadcast educational programs designated by the Hong Kong government between 2 p.m. and 6 p.m. and 9 p.m. and 11:30 p.m. The original intention of issuing the license was to allow the TV station to provide technical support for Hong Kong's distance education free of charge.

Although many well-received TV dramas have also been broadcast, most businesses are reluctant to advertise on Jiashi because of the occupation of prime time, and their business conditions are not good, and they have been hovering on the verge of bankruptcy for a long time.

The Lin family wanted to do a good job of Jiashi, and applied several times to change the business content and cancel the educational program, but they were all rejected by the TV Advisory Committee.

In order to make up for the financial hole, the Lin family injected funds into it, but it was investigated by the Hong Kong government, and it was obvious that they would rather the TV station go out of business than allow Chinese capital to gain control.

The Lin family could only watch Jiashi's business situation deteriorate day by day, step by step towards death, and the investment was destined to be wasted, but they were helpless, how could they not be anxious.

Guan Fei's heart moved, and he asked in a low voice, "Is there room for us to operate here?" ”

"Absolutely not!"

Liu Zhengying did not hesitate and said categorically: "Jiashi's shares are fixed and non-listed companies, and the Hong Kong government is not allowed to change the composition of shares." It's not a matter of money, if you want to talk about funds, the Lin family also has money, but he is not allowed to invest, no matter how much money he has, he can only watch! ”

"It's a pity!"

Guan Fei sighed, he could only give up, he actually wanted to master a TV station in Hong Kong for a long time, but since there was no space, he could only think about it.

The game industry is not just a game, but an industry chain with strong outreach.

Games, media, film and television entertainment are usually intertwined, and you have me, I have you in line with the industrial chain, and the extension is very wide. Various industries influence each other, and games adapt movies, novels, animations, and songs to promote the diversification of entertainment methods; The film and television and media have expanded the influence of the game on the crowd, increased the profit range, and complemented each other, and the effect of the two together is like one plus one, far greater than two!

Moreover, the publicity of the media, film and television is also very important to guide the choice of the game crowd, without the strong support of the media, it is not difficult to defeat the game industry manufacturers in Europe, America and Japan.

If you want to occupy a certain share in this industry, it is inevitable to strive to bring forth the new, but relevant publicity and promotion are also essential. The Hong Kong government has tried its best to strangle the existence of Chinese-funded media, and even the local veteran Chinese investors who want to get control of Jiashi have been repeatedly obstructed, how can they watch Guan Fei, who has a distinct mark of mainland capital, control a TV station?

What should I do?
