Chapter 386: Plotting the Bank

A total of sixteen tables were set up in the banquet hall in 4x4, and Ye Jingcheng, Lu Yanjun and others were arranged to the third table in the second row. I don't know if the allocation of seats is related to personal influence, but the people who can sit in the first row are all contemporary tycoons.
Including Li Jiacheng is also assigned to the first row, although the position is only the southernmost table. I don't know if it's because he's already shown that potential, or because he's got to know several HSBC directors at the same table.
In addition, Ye Jingcheng also saw an unexpected figure appear, that is, Shao Yifu sitting at the second table, at this time he was chatting and laughing with the older generation of Huo Yingnan, Zheng Yu and other tycoons.
Similarly, when Ye Jingcheng looked at Shao Yifu, the latter was like installing radio wave induction, and when he turned around and saw Ye Jingcheng sitting in the second row, Shao Yifu's expression was also a little surprised, and the two nodded to each other and continued to talk with their tablemates.
And the people who sat at the same table with Ye Jingcheng were not only Lu Yanjun, Luo Yingshi and Li Xianbin, but there were also a few people who set up the table legs, and the other party came earlier than Ye Jingcheng and others.
When these people saw that Ye Jingcheng and the others knew each other, the youngest of them stood up and introduced themselves. Li Guobao, one of the members of the Li family, is not the Li of Li Jiacheng, but a veteran family known as the four wealthy families, and he currently works for the family-run Bank of East Asia.
Li Guobao is obviously familiar with Lu Yanjun and others, or they are all people in the same social circle, and the two sides have been in contact with each other more or less. Therefore, his self-introduction is completely aimed at Ye Jingcheng, who is relatively faceless and similar in age.
First, although one more friend may not have one more way out, at least one more network can be expanded. Second, the two are relatively close in age, and compared with the other fifty or sixty-year-old people, the two will undoubtedly have more topics.
"I don't know what this gentleman is called?" After shaking hands one by one, Li Guobao greeted Ye Jingcheng and said.
"Ye Jingcheng." Ye Jingcheng replied.
Li Guobao's index finger trembled up and down, and finally remembered and said, "Oh! I remember, Ye Sheng made movies, right? β
"Sort of." Ye Jingcheng did not deny it. However, a few other people present who were not familiar with each other heard that Ye Jingcheng was engaged in the drama in their eyes, and they were obviously a little less interested in acquaintance with him.
"I heard that Ye Sheng is still involved in futures and foreign exchange, if you need a large amount of capital turnover, the Bank of East Asia is very happy to cooperate with you." Li Guobao's remarks are not polite, he is currently in charge of the business of the Bank of East Asia, so he naturally wants to win more door-to-door business.
Regarding Ye Jingcheng's earlier loan of hundreds of millions of funds from HSBC, as a peer, he naturally heard a little. If you take over this fund, it will also help you to be valued by the family.
After all, in the lending business of banks, the most fearful thing is not that the debtor refuses to repay the money, but that the customer who cannot find the loan will not be found. Because a bank is a money bank, it will not lack money if it lacks anything.
It turned out that these people were all engaged in banking-related industries, among which the male who was the same age as Li Guobao was Liao Liewen, the second-generation 'helmsman' of Liao Chong Hing Bank, and the other two were: Ye Zhuling of the Dominican Finance Company and Zhang Mingtian of the Overseas Trust Bank.
In addition to overseas trust banks, Ye Jingcheng can be said to have no understanding of Liao Chong Hing Bank and Dominican Finance Company. And the reason why he knew about overseas trusts was also the information he heard by chance in later generations.
Because of the imminent economic recession at the end of 81 years, and because of the future of Hong Kong Island's alcoholic atmosphere, the Overseas Trust Bank has been disturbed for several years, and the bank has continued to make false accounts as a faΓ§ade. In the end, the problem snowballed and got bigger and bigger, and it was even forcibly taken over by the securities government, and then sold to other companies after some rectification.
Isn't the bank the industry that Ye Jingcheng needs the most at present? Compared with knowing Luo Yingshi just now, Ye Jingcheng's desire to acquire a five-star rich hotel. hopefully, far less attractive than being able to acquire a bank. As long as we have our own bank, the funds will go directly from the books in the future, and the confidentiality and operability will naturally be greatly improved.
Zhang Mingtian, who was sitting opposite Ye Jingcheng, had a caring attitude towards such a junior, not knowing that the other party was already trying to plan his bank.
After being polite with Li Guobao and others, the two groups continued to communicate in small circles, and Lu Yanjun spoke: "Ye Sheng, the bidding meeting is about to start. My initial plan with Luo Sheng is No. 2 official land, and Xianbin is also considering joining, I wonder if you are interested in joining us? β
"No. 2 official land? Seriously, I'm not that bullish. Ye Jingcheng shook his head, still holding his last opinion. In his opinion, the decision of Lu Yanjun and others was completely for the sake of losing money.
"And which one do you fancie?" Luo Yingshi asked with a big cigar and an upstart look.
After pondering for a few seconds, Ye Jingcheng said: "No. 3 and No. 4 can be considered. β
"The land on No. 3 is indeed good, but the area is not large enough, otherwise we can open an additional rich hotel." Luo Yingshi said proudly.
Covering an area of 62,000 square feet, Site 3 is located in the peak area of Yau Ma Tei, making it ideal for the development of star-rated hotels, followed by shopping malls or large casinos. However, due to the limited land area, the hotel can only be rated as a four-star at most. Bad is not bad, but for people like Ye Jingcheng and Luo Yingshi who pursue perfection, otherwise they will feel a lower grade.
"As for Number 4, isn't it a rotten field?" From Luo Yingshi's slightly frowning brows, he knew that he was optimistic about this land.
"Rotten land will have its value, otherwise how could the Zhengfu take out the bidding." Ye Jingcheng did not explain too much.
No. 4 official land covers an area of more than 120,000 square feet, which is the largest area in this tender. Located in the relatively backward Kwun Tong area of Hong Kong Island, it can only be regarded as an industrial land at present, but this investment also has a lot of risks.
Because the road condition in this piece of land is so bad, not even a single road has been built, and there are large areas of potholed yellow mud roads. Buying this piece of land is not as simple as building a factory in an industrial zone, and road traffic is the first problem to be dealt with.
The second is to solve the problems of clothing, food, housing and transportation for employees, because there is not enough material transportation here.
However, Ye Jingcheng also knows that this piece of land is undoubtedly the best area for the development of industrial parks. Because the largest industrial area in Kowloon will be located in Kwun Tong in the future, and because of the policy of 'moving factories to the north', the government will have a significant investment in the transportation of Kwun Tong, and there will be minibuses directly to Kowloon, and you can transfer to the New Territories, as well as the undersea tunnel to Sheung Wan.
Thinking of this, Ye Jingcheng subconsciously looked at Li Jiacheng, and he thought that Li Jiacheng had a great opportunity to participate in the bidding for this piece of land. With his connections and funds, it will take about two years to develop this industrial zone.
The question that Ye Jingcheng has to consider now is whether he should cooperate with Li Jiacheng or reach a tacit understanding with a relationship of mutual support. After all, the land in Kwun Tong does have huge potential value, but it is not the biggest target of his arrival this time, and in Li Jiacheng's eyes, he is not sure whether the other party also has ideas about his goal.
