Chapter 453: A New Iron Triangle

If Li Mingbao borrowed money from Xiao Xiami, maybe Standard Chartered Bank would have to twist it a little. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoBut if there is a person named Murdoch among the people who borrow money from Li Mingbao, no matter which bank in the world, will not do such a stupid thing. Don't forget what other people Murdoch does, in order to find news, even if it is some embarrassing things of the British government, he dares to report it, let alone just a bank, for the sake of newspaper sales, there is nothing in this world that Murdoch does not dare to do, otherwise his tabloids have been killed by others a long time ago, how can he survive until now, and the more he lives, the more nourishing he is.
Therefore, even if Standard Chartered Bank eats leopard gall, they don't dare to entertain Li Mingbao on this issue, and they will definitely obediently let Li Mingbao take out the money.
But in this matter, Li Mingbao is equivalent to letting John and Murdoch carry a black pot, and let them create a fact that the funds are not present at Standard Chartered Bank. If Li Mingbao just cooperated with John and Murdoch for such a time, and he was an opponent in the future, then Li Mingbao would be pitted, and it would be a big deal, anyway, the enemy's loss would be his own gain.
But Li Mingbao will have to tie these two thighs in the future, so Li Mingbao must be honest about such a thing that makes people take the blame. Otherwise, it will cause some misunderstandings, which will be quite bad.
"Actually, there is a small problem with this borrowing money. I don't know if John and Mr. Murdoch will agree to me. At this time, Li Mingbao said in a slow tone.
"Questions? What's the problem? Say it and listen to it, and we will definitely do what we can do. "As two people who have been dealing with banks for a lot of time, they both understand that usually when banks borrow money, there are some additional conditions. Although Li Mingbao is not a bank here, there are some additional conditions for private loans, which is also a market. So they didn't make a fuss about Li Mingbao's problem.
"This problem is actually a small problem, as you know, my money is stored in Standard Chartered Bank, and the main force of Standard Chartered Bank is now in Hong Kong, I also have some more reliable news in finance, such as the exchange rate of the Hong Kong dollar, I also know.
So this money, I was originally going to make a move on the exchange rate of the Hong Kong dollar at the end of the year, and then make some hard-earned money. But when I was saving money, I didn't take this into account, so now there is a troublesome matter, I need an excuse to get the money out of Standard Chartered Bank, and I don't want the British government in Hong Kong to worry about me. Lend money to you, one because you need it, and the other is easy for me to operate. So I don't know John and Mr. Murdoch, do you really plan to borrow this money? Li Mingbao said with a smile.
Although Li Mingbao's words are relatively vague, Murdoch and John are not fools, even if it is just a few words, they can figure out some flavors, not to mention Li Mingbao's words, which are so directive, so they all understand that Li Mingbao is preparing to make a profit in the Hong Kong dollar exchange rate, that is, finance. And when they borrow, they are actually taking the blame. In this case, it doesn't seem that this money is so easy to get.
But Murdoch is not an ordinary person, the banker plays a thing, how can he, a newspaper, not know, so he also understands that if this is really the case, the problem is indeed a little bit, but it may not be much trouble, after all, as long as the money comes out of Standard Chartered Bank, the movement of this money, Standard Chartered Bank has to understand so clearly, it is not so easy. As long as they get their tails right, even if they are suspicious, they will not be able to trouble their own people without real evidence.
Trouble him Murdoch is not afraid, otherwise why raise so many lawyers? The key is whether there is a real benefit in this trouble, in case Li Mingbao's intelligence is wrong, and he does not make money but loses money, will it have a great impact on their borrowing, this is what Murdoch needs to consider. As for saying that Li Mingbao's behavior is aimed at the British government in Hong Kong, Murdoch doesn't care so much.
Although his home country of Australia is a member of the British Commonwealth, he and the United Kingdom are considered family. But he Murdoch is not a commoner, but a capitalist, for the vast majority of capitalists in Europe and the United States, capital has no borders, so as long as they can make money, the government will not die, and it really has little to do with them.
Even if one day, the profits of selling the country are higher than the profits of patriotism, they will never mind selling their country. Such a theory is very evident in the case of the Jews. Even if they get out of Israel, as long as the interests are sufficient, except for some more extreme people, most people abandon it, anyway, if the country is gone, a country can be established, if the money is gone, it will be their own loss. Therefore, whether you can make money or not is the key, as for other things, you have to lean back.
"Mr. Li, is your information accurate?" Murdoch asked.
Hearing Murdoch's words, Li Mingbao understood that Murdoch didn't mind carrying the black cauldron, anyway, it wasn't himself who lost, as long as he could get the money, nothing else mattered.
After understanding Murdoch's thoughts, Li Mingbao replied with a smile: "No one will know whether it is accurate or not until the mystery is finally revealed." But we might as well look at this issue from the perspective of the general trend.
You know, I'm a Hong Kong person, and I know the situation in Hong Kong well. Many people know that the British are withdrawing their investment, but after all, it is impossible for China to let the British turn Hong Kong into a ruin, and the British still have more than ten years in Hong Kong, even if they stand on the withdrawal now, the magnitude cannot be too huge, and it will really affect the stability of Hong Kong society, and the loss to the British people will definitely be greater than the loss to China.
If we really want to make the financial sector out of control, the mainland will have to take back Hong Kong ahead of schedule, and then the British will lose a lot. Therefore, the British must maintain the gold content of the Hong Kong dollar, and also give up the price. Otherwise, all industries in Hong Kong will be hit hard, and Britain still has more than 10 years to live, so why mess up Hong Kong now? In more than ten years, how can the tax revenue they receive be comparable to the little price they pay now?
Based on this situation, I am very sure that the British will definitely take the initiative to stabilize the exchange rate, and even if the British are unstable, China will force the British to stabilize. Although Britain won the Battle of the Falklands, it was just a bully of a small South American country, even if it was a small country, they did not fight so well, if it weren't for Argentina's bad luck, in the end it was still a question of whether the British would win.
It is so difficult to bully Argentina, let alone go against a country like China, Hong Kong's geographical location is destined to have a good gathering with Hong Kong at most, and it is necessary to always guard against China's actions.
Therefore, they must stabilize the exchange rate, and in a chaotic situation like the current Hong Kong dollar, if they do not come up with a good measure before the year, after the New Year, it will affect the work of the next year, and the longer this thing drags on, the greater the loss. It is also impossible for the British government to completely pay for the British capitalists, so they will soon take action, so that I will be able to make a lot of money, and when the time comes, it will only be a matter of making more and making less, and as for losing money, it is completely impossible. ”
Hearing Li Mingbao's explanation, Murdoch and John were relieved, as long as Li Mingbao really had so much money to lend them, Li Mingbao went to pit the British government in Hong Kong, and it would have no impact on them at all, wouldn't it be just a black cauldron? What's the big deal, as long as you have money, don't talk about the black pot, they don't mind. As for the fact that after hearing about Li Mingbao's good deal, Murdoch and John went to make some money with Li Mingbao, but it didn't happen.
It's not that the two of them can't see the prospects, it's because they don't believe in Li Mingbao so much in such financial activities, there are many financiers who are the first to say, and they haven't seen it, but what can really succeed is still a small number.
There are not so many serious financiers, and there are even fewer who can make money every time, and if a second knife like Li Mingbao wants to make money on this, it is definitely not easy. Murdoch and John are both calm people, so naturally they will not wade into such troubled waters. Anyway, after knowing how Li Mingbao was going to operate, their interest was not very great. In their opinion, it is very possible to make money in this kind of business, but it is not possible to lose money, the value of the Hong Kong dollar is constant, and the current Hong Kong dollar, because of the withdrawal of British capital, is indeed very unstable, but no matter how unstable, there is also an actual price there, which cannot be too outrageous. Therefore, Li Mingbao has such a huge amount of money, it is very difficult to lose, at most it is a waste of effort, and the principal must be guaranteed. That's why Murdoch doesn't care much about this business.
"Mr. Li, if you like it, then do it, anyway, as long as there is no problem with the money, then other things are easy to say." Murdoch opened his mouth at this time to remind Li Mingbao, hoping that Li Mingbao would not play too much, and then lose money and not lend them money, so that Murdoch's black pot will be in vain.
Li Mingbao could naturally understand what Murdoch meant, so he replied with a smile: "Even if it is a loss, it is impossible to lose too much." I said how much I could lend you, and it had to be how much. Even if the money over there is lost, don't I have the same cash on the American side? I will not discount your money.
In fact, I think there is a basis for more in-depth cooperation between the three parties on the issue of cash. You are lacking in funds to expand, and there is no shortage of objects to expand. And I don't have a good industry to invest in, but I don't lack funds, and there will be more funds in the future. In this way, if we complement each other and stabilize our alliance, wouldn't our cooperation be more convenient and stronger? ”
