86_86133As early as the opening of the Holiday Inn, there were media reports in Hong Kong that Li Yisong's family may be the richest family in Hong Kong.

Li Hualong saw that everyone did not answer, smiled faintly, and explained: "In recent years, Hong Kong's housing prices have been rising, and a large amount of capital has flowed into the real estate market. Since the year before, I have been deliberately reducing the number of major projects. Last year, I sold a lot of properties. I didn't think that there would be a bank run, and I thought that house prices and land prices would fall to a certain extent, and I would buy the dip. Now, there is a crisis in Hang Seng Bank, and I have not thought about taking advantage of the fire to rob it. You can discuss, if there is no crisis, what is the market price of Hang Seng Bank? ”

Li Hualong saw that everyone was chatting one after another, he was silent for a long time, cleared his throat, and shouted: "Please be quiet, let me talk about my thoughts first......

When everyone closed their mouths and stopped talking, Li Hualong said in a deep voice: "The total share capital of Hang Seng Bank is 30 million shares, I personally hold 9 million shares, I hope that Hang Seng Bank will issue an additional 20 million shares, I buy these shares, and my shares in Hang Seng will increase to 58%......"

Li Hualong paused, watched the expressions on everyone's faces change, and continued: "I have little interest in the controlling stake in Hang Seng Bank, of the 29 million shares in my hand, 20 million shares have voting rights, and 9 million shares have no voting rights. The total share capital is 50 million shares. There are 41 million voting shares, less than 50% of which I have in my hands, and I have not yet obtained an absolute controlling stake in Hang Seng Bank. I can dismiss from serving as Chairman of Hang Seng Bank for the time being. But the number of seats on the board of directors should be increased, to eleven, and I want five. I'm done, so tell us what you think. ”

He Tian said in a deep voice: "Hua Long, you injected 52 million Hong Kong dollars into Hang Seng Bank, and these funds cannot fundamentally solve this crisis. ”

"If these funds are not enough, I can also lend more than 80 million Hong Kong dollars worth of gold to Hang Seng Bank. No interest is required, and the loan period is half a year. After half a year, it is enough to return the gold of the same weight and clarity. Also, I have a large number of quality properties under my umbrella, and I declare it publicly. Willing to use all assets to support Hang Seng Bank, assume the debts of Hang Seng Bank, and live and die with Hang Seng Bank. If Hang Seng Bank goes bankrupt, I, Zhang Hualong, will also declare bankruptcy. ”

He Shanheng pondered for a long time and said: "I agree to issue an additional 20 million shares to sell to Director Li Hualong, everyone will talk about their thoughts?" ”

He Tian asked: "Hua Long, you mean, HK$52 million to buy 20 million additional shares issued by Hang Seng Bank?" ”

"Yes." Li Hualong said and stood up, "I'll go out for a while." Let's talk about whether you can accept the price. ”

Li Hualong took a step forward, walked to the door, and took a few steps. Stopped, turned around, and said with a smile: "I have been a director of Hang Seng Bank for more than ten years, and everyone has dealt with me a lot of times. What kind of person I am, everyone knows in their hearts. I just said that. I don't want to take advantage of the fire to increase my holdings according to the market price, and I don't ask for absolute control, which is enough sincerity, I hope you can think about it and don't ask for a price. In addition to investing in the banking industry, I can also do other businesses. ”

Li Hualong left the conference room, and He Shanheng spoke first: "52 million Hong Kong dollars to buy 20 million shares, which is equivalent to 2.6 yuan per share." Now the total share capital of Hang Seng Bank is 30 million, and the total market value is only 78 million Hong Kong dollars according to the calculation of 2.6 yuan per share. However, now that Hang Seng Bank is facing an unprecedented crisis, if foreign banks are allowed to take a stake in Hang Seng Bank, the bank's market value valuation will definitely be lower. What's more, we did not cede absolute control. Li Hualong's character, everyone knows, over the years, we have been very happy to cooperate with him. He has a lot of businesses under his umbrella, and it is unlikely that he will have too much energy to meddle in the management of Hang Seng Bank in the future, so you don't have to worry about him affecting the operation of Hang Seng Bank. As long as he has his support, Hang Seng Bank will definitely be able to survive this crisis, and maybe it will be able to grow rapidly...... Personally, I agree with the plan put forward by Li Hualong. ”

"I agree!" "I agree!"

The directors agreed.

"Since everyone agrees, let's get guò. I'm going to bring Director Li Hualong in. ”

He Tian stood up, he knew very well that if there was no support from Li Hualong in the future, he would definitely not be able to serve as the general manager of Hang Seng Bank, and began to think about having a good relationship with Li Hualong.

Li Hualong was not particularly happy to learn that the directors of Hang Seng Bank had accepted his proposal, which he had long expected.

More than an hour later, two mortgage cars and several sedans drove to the door of Li Hualong's house.

More than a dozen bank employees took some time to take the cash and gold out of the basement, count the cash, check the gold, and weigh the gold.

After confirming that there were no mistakes, 52 million Hong Kong dollars and more than 80 million yuan worth of gold were packed into boxes and transported to the headquarters of Hang Seng Bank through a guò deposit car, and Li Hualong followed behind in his own car.

A large amount of cash and gold was transported into the counter of the headquarters of Hang Seng Bank, and the boxes were opened, and many depositors saw the large amount of cash and gold, and their faces flowed with joy, and they did not have to worry about not being able to withdraw their money.

"Everyone, please be quiet and listen to me...... My name is Li Hualong, and I think many people have heard my name. I am here today to inform you that I am the largest shareholder of Hang Seng Bank. ”

Li Hualong, who was holding the microphone in his hand, said a word, looked around, and continued: "In addition to being a shareholder of Hang Seng Bank, I am also the owner of Hualong Real Estate Company, Carrefour, Ming Pao, Huayi Brothers Film Group, Holiday Inn and Intercontinental Hotel. I became a shareholder of Hang Seng Bank more than a decade ago, when the bank had only a few million Hong Kong dollars in registered capital, and now it has hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars in deposits. In addition, I also deposited more than 80 million gold worth of gold into Hang Seng Bank, and if Hang Seng Bank's funds are insufficient, depositors can choose to exchange their deposits into gold according to the current gold market price and withdraw them......"

Li Hualong's words caused a lot of discussions, and the lobby of the headquarters of Hang Seng Bank became extremely noisy.

"Listen to me!" Li Hualong shouted, and after the decibels of the noise were lowered a bit, he continued to shout, "As a shareholder of Hang Seng Bank, I know very well that there is no problem with the operation of Hang Seng Bank, the non-performing loan ratio is extremely low, and the vast majority of enterprises that lend to Hang Seng Bank are operating well and will not default on repayment." The reason for today's situation is that some people with ulterior motives have made rumors. If HK$52 million in cash and more than 80 million in gold are not enough, then I will sell my property to support Hang Seng Bank. Intercontinental Hotel, Holiday Inn, Starlight Row, Carrefour Building, Pedder Hong and many other buildings are my properties, and if I take these properties out for sale at a price of 200 million Hong Kong dollars, I will be able to sell them in a few days. In addition, I am also a major shareholder of the listed company Times Land, I hold 6.75 million shares of this company, and in recent days, the share price of this company has not been less than HK$9 per share, and at a price of HK$9 per share, the market value of my shares in Times Land is more than HK$60 million......"

Li Hualong paused as he spoke, and shouted in a loud voice: "The most important point is that I am willing to live and die with Hang Seng Bank, if Hang Seng Bank goes bankrupt, then I, Li Hualong, am willing to go bankrupt with Hang Seng Bank." I hope you can trust Hang Seng Bank, don't listen to rumors, think clearly, and then decide whether to withdraw money or not! ”

After Li Hualong finished speaking, he handed the microphone to He Shanheng, chairman of Hang Seng Bank.

He Shanheng took the microphone and shouted loudly: "I am the chairman of Hang Seng Bank - He Shanheng, what Mr. Li Hualong said just now is true. I believe that there are few friends present who have not watched the movies made by Huayi Brothers Film Group, and should know the name of Mr. Li Hualong...... I know that the money you deposit with Hang Seng Bank is hard-earned money and cannot be lost, and I assure you that every depositor at Hang Seng Bank will be able to get their share of the principal and the interest they deserve. Depositors of fixed deposits who want to withdraw their money early, which will lose a lot of interest. If someone is in a hurry to wait for the money, I will not object to you withdrawing money in advance, and those customers who are not in a hurry to wait for the money and listen to rumors, I ask you to think carefully, is it worth withdrawing money in advance? ”

After listening to the words of Li Hualong and He Shanheng, the depositors who were waiting in line to withdraw their money discussed privately.

A few months ago, Times Land went public, and almost all the media in Hong Kong reported on it, after all, Times Land owns the most exclusive shopping mall, Times Square, and the most exclusive hotel in Hong Kong, the Mandarin Oriental.

The articles reported by the media about the listing of Times Land almost all of them wrote some information about Li Hualong in passing, and some media even focused on reporting on how Li Hualong accumulated wealth, which made more Hong Kong people know that Li Hualong is the richest person in Hong Kong.

After receiving Li Hualong's promise, many depositors chose to believe it, but did not leave the bank immediately.

Before, many depositors wanted to be at the front of the queue so that they could get their deposits back, but now, the depositors at the front of the queue are a little unhappy, they don't know whether to go to the money or not, they hesitate.

Hang Seng Bank sent many employees to persuade depositors, knowing that they were reasonable, moving with emotion, many depositors chose to give up early withdrawal, and the persuaded depositors gradually left in advance, and the tide of squeeze also receded. (To be continued).
