Song Nianhui's sudden proposal was unexpected by Lin Xiaozhi.

However, he still listened carefully to Song Nianhui's words, and pondered for a moment before asking: "I haven't been in contact with this Yongan Bank, but as a licensed bank, and it is still controlled and operated in the hands of Hang Seng, which is not short of money, I am afraid that I can't take three or four hundred million, right?" ”

Unlike Hang Seng, which has 30 to 40 billion depositors' deposits, the banks just experienced a run last month, and although the run storm came and went quickly, they did not suffer much loss, and they still held some depositors' deposits in their hands. However, there are still hidden dangers, and it is impossible for Kowloon Bank to completely embezzle depositors' deposits for acquisition. In addition to the bank's own capital, he had to pay out of his pocket for the purchase account. This is also the reason why Song Nianhui wanted to talk to him about this matter in detail, otherwise with Lin Xiaozhi's trust in him, it would not be too late to mention it to him when the acquisition was nearing the end, and it would not affect his acquisition plan.

Lin Xiaozhi can't say whether the acquisition of Yongan Bank is good or bad, although he can use the advantages of the reborn to check the bank's long-term strategy, but he has a hard time operating the banking industry across banks. Although he also hopes that the Bank of Kowloon can grow, after a series of acquisitions, he has only more than 700 million Hong Kong dollars in cash flow, not counting the renminbi that cannot be freely circulated in Hong Kong. This money seems to be a lot, but for him to take care of a listed company, as well as many other industries, it is indeed not much.

Hang Seng Bank was originally the largest Chinese-funded bank in Hong Kong, but unfortunately it was acquired by HSBC Holdings during the Hong Kong banking crisis in the 60s. Not to mention its complicated relationship with the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, Hang Seng Bank was the largest Chinese-funded bank in Hong Kong earlier, and after being controlled by HSBC, it received overt or covert support from the British and the Hong Kong government, and Hang Seng Bank developed rapidly, and in the mid-70s it became a behemoth in Hong Kong's banking industry, far from being comparable to the Lam family's Kowloon Bank.

Song Nianhui expressed the worry in his words, but when he proposed to acquire Bank of An, he naturally made sufficient preparations: "When he first invested in Yong'an, Hang Seng actually only bought shares and operated on behalf of him for a period of time after receiving the guarantee of the Hong Kong government. Now that Yongan's performance has turned into a profit, it has achieved its original purpose, and it naturally has to be sold, otherwise it will not let out a rumor. According to my calculations, if Hang Seng wants to sell Wing On, it is naturally impossible to be less than 500 million Hong Kong dollars, and if there is more power to contact it, Hang Seng may even raise the price even higher. But so far, the only people I have contacted through my inquiries about Hang Seng are Dah Sing Bank and Asia Central Bank. Although Wang Shouye's Daxin Bank acquired the Industrial and Commercial Bank of Hong Kong before the stock market crash in '87, its strength is also comparable to ours, and if we want to acquire Yongan, Dah Sing may be our biggest opponent. Although Lin Shaoliang's Asia Central Bank has a huge influence in Indonesia and Southeast Asia, the Hong Kong government has not issued him a license due to pressure from British banks and the Dutch government, so it wants that license more than Wing On Bank's depositor funds and assets. ”

He paused, and assured Lin Xiaozhi in an affirmative tone: "Lin Shaoliang has always wanted to enter Hong Kong, and those British-funded banks should have a headache when he is let in, and there is no competition with our Kowloon Bank." Therefore, I am sure to persuade Lin Shaoliang to cooperate with us to jointly acquire Wing On Bank. We got the depositors and all the assets of Wing On Bank, and they got the banking license that they wanted the most......"

Who is this Lin Shaoliang, Lin Xiaozhi doesn't know how to do it. Looking at the entire world, there are not many people who are qualified and able to compete with Li Jiacheng for the richest man in China, Taiwan's plastic king Wang Yongqing is one, and Lin Shaoliang, the richest man in Indonesia, is Li Jiacheng's biggest opponent, not one. In his early years, this wealthy Chinese businessman made a lot of money by smuggling supplies to the Indonesian Revolutionary Party to fight against the Dutch colonists, and he was also disliked by the Dutch royal family, which is related to the British royal family. A few years ago, when the 87 stock market crash hit the bank hard, Lin Shaoliang sent his second son Lin Shengzong to Hong Kong to propose an acquisition with Lin Jiannian, but unfortunately Lin Jiannian refused.

Speaking from the heart, Lin Xiaozhi doesn't like this person. As far as he knows, Mr. Lin is too deeply involved in Indonesian politics and is closer to Taiwan than to the mainland. Although he is an Indonesian national, in order to ensure that the local Indonesian natives are not hostile, he only calls himself an Indonesian when interviewed by the media, and never mentions his Chinese and Han identity, which somewhat makes him feel a pimple in his heart in his previous life.

However, thinking about the way Hong Kong is now, he suddenly fell silent.

It can only be said that the words Communist Party and socialism are too unpleasant within the scope of the whole world, and after decades of repeated propaganda by Western society and other countries in the world, they have long become an evil existence that everyone shouts and beats, and even the locals of Hong Kong who are about to return to the motherland are hostile to the return, and from time to time they make extreme anti-mainland remarks, not to mention those regions in Southeast Asia. In 98, the mainland government was plotted by the United States and the Indonesian government to attack the local Chinese, and the local Chinese were regarded as having ulterior motives by sending people to give advance notice, and the absurd words such as the Communist Party pulling them all back and shooting them all appeared in the media were believed, and it was hard to say who was to blame for the tragedy.

But I don't like it, he is a businessman after all, Song Nianhui's proposal passed in his head, and he quickly nodded, "Our bank already has the license qualification, and the acquisition of Yongan can eat his depositors and assets is a victory, and it is okay to sell the bank license to Lin Shaoliang." I've approved this, so you can do it. In two days, I will allocate another 200 million yuan to the bank account, and I will be especially responsible for the acquisition, and if the money is not enough, I will transfer some of the depositors' funds to use it first, and I will go back and make up ......for it."

"Lin Sheng, don't worry, I promise to do this......"

Time flies like a white horse, and most of April has passed in a hurry, but good news keeps coming from all over the place.

On April, the State Council of the North officially approved the establishment of the Beijing Film Group Company with Beijing Film Studio, Children's Film Studio, Beijing Film Printing and Video Technology Factory, and Mainland Film Equipment Company. At the same time, the Ministry of Radio, Film and Television was also approved to expand the new organization, the Hong Kong and Taiwan Film Works Exchange and Cooperation Department, which has full authority to handle the exchange and cooperation of film and television works between the mainland, Hong Kong and Taiwan.

Two days later, Media Asia, who was far away in Hong Kong, received a notice that the Ministry of Radio, Film and Television had approved the script "Farewell My Concubine" that it had previously submitted for review, and Beijing Film Group was approved to co-produce the film with Hong Kong Media Asia Film Group. As the first co-production film officially approved by the mainland, "Farewell My Concubine" has received the nod of the Ministry of Radio, Film and Television, allowing it to land on the mainland for trial release after the film is approved. According to the results of the discussion between the Ministry of Radio, Film and Television and the Beijing Film Group, the final box office of this co-production film will refer to the internationally accepted box office accounting form, and the proportion of revenue sharing is 35 producers, 17 distributors, 48 screeners, and the cost of publicity will be borne by the producer.

The good news is not only this, due to the sharp drop in the fifth week of screening for three days to only more than 200 theaters that are still showing a total of $190,000 at the box office, after the end of the first day of screening, "Red Alert" finally completely left the mainstream theaters in North America to be released, according to the statistics of the North American Unified Screening Organization, in the end, this dark horse film from Hong Kong unexpectedly won 85 in North America. $10,000 at the total box office (including 58 in the United States. $5l million), temporarily ranked 9th in the North American box office list this year, and caused a shock in North America, especially the American film industry.

Los Angeles Times: "...... It's hard for me to imagine that this is a Hong Kong movie made by Hong Kong people. But with the excellent plot, the portrayal of the fight scenes and the flexible use of commercial elements, I have to admit that Hong Kong filmmakers have made a movie that makes people shine."

"A successful commercial film has changed my opinion of Hong Kong films"

"It is said that in order to shoot this film, Hong Kong people have invested more than 7 million US dollars, if the news is true, no one can deny that it will be the most successful commercial film in 199l with a global box office of nearly 400 million US dollars."

"The Japanese came, and the bloated fat man waved the money we gave us and bought the pride of the United States, Colombia. Now the Hong Kong people are also here, and they have also bought our best independent film company. Is American cinema on its way to glory? Or is it going down? ”

Although Hong Kong is known as the "Hollywood of the East," this statement is somewhat self-boasting, and the meaning of putting gold on one's face can only be spread once in Southeast Asia, and it is okay to shout in Asia, but neither the big-nosed Europeans nor the Americans composed of their descendants and immigrants rarely admit this statement.

This is one of the reasons why a foreign film, after unexpectedly achieving a box office of nearly $60 million in the United States, can make the American media shatter its glasses.

However, although some arrogant and arrogant American media jumped up and down with malicious intentions, instigating all walks of life in the United States to boycott Hong Kong films and the government to intervene to stop Media Asia's acquisition of Miramax. However, compared with the noisy world back then, everyone in the world knows that Sony, which made arrogant Americans lose face, acquired Columbia Pictures, Media Asia and Miramax Company, which was acquired by it, are much worse in terms of strength and influence.

What's more, the drastic changes in the world world in April, the eyes of the entire world world were attracted to the Soviet Union, one of the two poles of the world world. It is not like the boycott of Sony by Americans a few years ago, there was a wave of boycotting Hong Kong films and Media Asia, which made Lin Xiaozhi, who had been staring at the United States, breathe a sigh of relief.

Entering April, the political scene of the world has changed drastically. The referendums in the Soviet Union, which ended at the end of last month, remained 76 despite the rejection of the three Baltic states (Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia), Armenia, Georgia, Moldova. of Soviet citizens were in favor of retaining the Union. However, the collapse of the Soviet Union depended only on the decisions of the Soviet government power. Compared with the former heroes Stalin and Brezhnev, Gorbachev, who had a sheepish temperament, hesitated and could not come up with an idea in the face of the plan of the Soviet Union Vice President Yanayev, the Soviet Defense Minister Marshal Yazov, and the head of the KGB to boycott the referendum by force, and did not hesitate to launch a purge of the purity of the CPSU.

On the day of the conclusion of the Fourth Session of the Seventh National People's Congress in Beijing, Georgia announced that it would secede from the Soviet Union and become an independent sovereign state, opening the curtain on the disintegration of the Soviet Union, a superpower that attracted worldwide attention.

Georgia's independence undoubtedly slapped the mighty Soviet Union in the face, and Rao was still annoyed by Gorbachev's sheep-like temperament. However, on the one hand, he vetoed the KGB's proposal for assassination and war with the Ministry of Defense, but tacitly approved the KGB's stumbling block on the Abkhaz issue, and on the other hand, he successively sent diplomatic notes to the socialist countries and 17 NATO countries, hoping to gain international support and diplomatically isolate Georgia.

Food and weapons support was met with positive responses from North Korea, Vietnam, Cuba, and India, and concessions on the eastern border were met with the support of Red China, one of the five major members. However, in the past few years, Gorbachev, who has been waving the banner of democracy a lot, has been stumbled by his own consistent humanity and democracy, and while NATO countries, including the United States, have resolutely rejected the Soviet Union's note, the NATO bloc has also strengthened its lure to more than a dozen Soviet member countries, including Ukraine and the three Baltic states.

In the entire Western world, the danger of the collapse of the Soviet Union has been filled with sharpening knives and forks, beef cattle have been served, and a gluttonous feast is about to begin.
