Reborn in Hong Kong: The Tycoon Grows Up

Chapter 91 HSBC’s interests and choices

After Bao Zixuan left HSBC, he returned home. I may be going abroad soon, so I want to spend some time with Li Yulin. Li Yulin seems to have something on her mind since she came back last time, but her mother still has a lot of secrets, and it's hard for him to ask Bao Zixuan if he doesn't tell her. And after returning from participating in the exhibition, he has been working in the company to adjust the industrial planning and layout. Never returned home.

In fact, sometimes Bao Zixuan is more avoiding this problem. He doesn't know how to face Li Yulin. I really want to be a good son, but many times I don’t know how to do it. After all, whether in this life or in the previous life, I am used to being lonely, and I feel good about myself without family and loved ones.

You don’t have to look for a lover, but you can’t miss a mother if you only have one!

Not long after Bao Zixuan left HSBC, Yuan Tianfan came to the office of Shen Bi, the senior manager of HSBC. At this time, Shen Bi had just returned from the Governor's Palace. The Hong Kong stock market and real estate market had been experiencing great fluctuations recently. HSBC's Taipan is actually equivalent to the position of Chairman of the US Federal Reserve in Hong Kong.

HSBC has always occupied the right to mint money, but it has always played the role of the central bank. Although the impact on Hong Kong's shipping industry has not been eliminated after the oil crisis, other industries have completely shaken off the impact. All industries in Hong Kong are developing rapidly, causing real estate and stock market prices to rise.

The Hong Kong government was worried that excessive economic growth would bring about inflation, so it convened a meeting with bigwigs like Shen Bi at the Government House. Discuss how to develop the Hong Kong economy steadily and healthily. From this point of view, it is not an exaggeration to say that MacLehose was rated as the most accomplished governor before the return of Hong Kong. After all, most of the governors before and after him only knew about "taking" and not "building".

In fact, a few days ago, Bao Yugang came to Shen Bi to talk about Wharf, Hutchison Whampoa and Cheung Kong Holdings, but now Bao Zixuan of Heiyun Group has spent huge sums of money to purchase the shares of Hutchison Whampoa and Cheung Kong Holdings. In this way, once Li Chaoren reaches an agreement with the charter king, HSBC is likely to sell Hutchison Whampoa's shares to Li Chaoren in accordance with banking laws. By then, it will be difficult for the shares of Hutchison Whampoa and Cheung Kong Holdings not to rise.

If Bao Zixuan acquires so many shares of the two companies in advance, Li Chaoren's acquisition difficulty will increase exponentially. Even if the acquisition is successful, it will cost at least hundreds of millions more.

But even if you don't agree, there is nothing you can do. With Bao Zixuan's financial resources, he can completely use his own funds to acquire it. If HSBC offends this big customer, other banks will be happy and may set off firecrackers.

I just picked up the phone and put it back. He knew that once the call was made, Charter King and Li Chaoren would thank him. But after Heiyun Group finds out, the entire HSBC will become passive.

If HSBC takes the lead in breaking the rules of the game, then it will be based on the international influence of Heiyun Group. If the matter is publicized, it is very likely that HSBC will really fall into a desperate situation.

After making his choice, Shen Bi said to Yuan Tianfan: "Then follow your agreement! After all, we must ensure the fundamental interests of HSBC."

Yuan Tianfan: "Okay, I understand, Taipan."

Shen Bi: "What do you think of Bao Zixuan? I only care about his character and his views on Xiangjiang."

In fact, Shen Bi wanted to ask Bao Zixuan's attitude towards Hong Kong's return to the mainland. After all, it was he who first proposed "exchanging sovereignty for governance" on the Hong Kong issue. In fact, the situation is now basically clear. As the five permanent members of the United Nations, it is impossible for China to leave an issue left over from history at home without solving it.

At this time, the British want to make a last-ditch effort. If they fail, it is also a way to bring down the elites in Hong Kong to the British side. In that case, the entire Hong Kong economy will go back for at least many years, and let the world see the superiority of our governance. .

Yuan Tianfan didn't want to talk about issues between countries. He thought he was not qualified yet, so it would be better to answer Shen Bi's question based on Bao Zixuan's personal investment philosophy.

Yuan Tianfan thought for a while and said: "I don't have much contact with Bao Zixuan, but he definitely has all the potential to become a tycoon. He has a very confident personality and a business emphasis on professionals doing professional things. This sentence is very simple and many people understand it. But most people can't do it. When I acquired Wharf last time, I never asked where the hundreds of millions of funds were placed. When I contacted him, I took the initiative to call him twice."

"Just now he told me that since you majored in economics, you would definitely be better at buying and selling stocks than he, a student majoring in science and engineering."

Shen Bi: "Who do you think is stronger compared to Bao Yugang and Li Chaoren?"

Yuan Tianfan: "I think Bao Zixuan's achievements will definitely not be worse than theirs, and his capital flow at HSBC has already exceeded theirs. After all, he is only 20 years old this year and has unlimited possibilities."

When Yuan Tianfan saw Shen Bi pick up the phone, he knew he was going to call some people. As for putting it down again, it might be a matter of balancing the pros and cons, and the person who could let Shen Bi make the phone calls in person must be a big tycoon in the business world. Now it seems that I can only help Bao Zixuan.

Hearing what Yuan Tianfan said, Shen Bi smiled and said, "Okay, I don't mean anything else. Don't think too much about it. After all, HSBC's interests are the most important. By the way, you haven't said anything about his attitude towards Xiangjiang yet." Woolen cloth!"

Yuan Tianfan, who knew there was no way around it, said: "Judging from Bao Zixuan's investment, it seems that he is still optimistic about the future of Hong Kong. After all, he is building a large-scale factory in Kowloon. According to the plan, it can accommodate the office and production needs of 100,000 workers. It can be said to be one of the largest factory clusters in Asia.”

Shen Bi: "We are also discussing this issue at the Governor's Office today. Governor MacLehose is very fond of industry. He also asked HSBC to provide Heiyun with some convenience in terms of funding. But you see, Heiyun Group uses its own funds entirely. There is no need for any funds at all to build the factory.”

Yuan Tianfan: "The completion of a factory with 100,000 people is a dazzling political achievement in any country or city. Governor MacLehose cannot be unmoved. Now it seems that Bao Zixuan has a very deep layout. There is no choice like traditional tycoons. Industry, of course, may also be related to his major, but at this time no one should be able to disrupt the construction of his factory."

Yuan Tianfan once reminded Shen Bi that HSBC must be fair to all customers, otherwise the people above would not sit idly by.

With Shen Bi's shrewdness, how could he not know what Yuan Tianfan was thinking! We are all smart people and there is no need to reveal many things.

Shen Bi: "Don't worry, HSBC will only make a fair referee and will not favor any party. Otherwise, HSBC will lose its credibility."

Yuan Tianfan left Shen Bi's office after reporting on some recent stock market issues. Thinking of Shen Bi's attitude, it turns out that HSBC's interests are paramount.

Afterwards, Shen Bi called Puves to the office, and the two HSBC bosses discussed it for an hour.

In the subsequent acquisition of Hutchison Whampoa by Cheung Kong Holdings, HSBC did not take sides and watched the black cloud make money.

When Bao Zixuan returned home, Li Yulin was cooking, which was quite unbearable to watch.

He said to his mother at the door of the kitchen: "Mommy, why don't you hire a nanny! It's too hard for you."

Li Yulin: "I'm used to it. I eat a lot of delicacies outside and think my cooking is not delicious."

Bao Zixuan: "How could that be? I just don't want you to be too tired."

In fact, Li Yulin still goes to the store every day to work for a while, and she has become accustomed to it after so many years. It's unrealistic for her to be free all of a sudden. On the contrary, it is not good for the body. Just like a high-speed train, sudden braking will cause damage to many parts. The same is true for the human body.

Li Yulin: "If you want me to have some leisure time, you can give me a grandson and take care of it."

Hearing Li Yulin start talking about this topic again, Bao Zixuan was really helpless.
