Global Tycoon: You Call This A Small Achievement?

Regarding the invitation sent by He Zhou, Leader Shen thought for a moment and then agreed.

This time is not only to give the other party a face and do a favor, but also out of self-interest considerations.

A billionaire, a newspaper tycoon, and a young man with astonishing influence and promising future who holds the largest Chinese newspaper in the world, Leader Shen really can't think of any reason to reject him.

Hong Kong is big, but at the same time, Hong Kong is small!

As the chairman of HSBC, although Shen Bi holds a high position and has great authority, establishing good relations with Hong Kong's rich and small is also one of his main tasks. Without the full support of Hong Kong's rich, HSBC will only be in a disadvantageous position.

In addition, in addition to HSBC, Standard Chartered has been keeping an eye on the side, thinking all the time about overthrowing HSBC and becoming the overlord of Xiangjiang Bank.

The most important reason why HSBC can stabilize Standard Bank in Hong Kong is to win the hearts of Chinese capital. In short, HSBC's localization transformation is relatively successful. He, Shen Bi, understands the Chinese people's ways of life better and welcomes them. Close and harmonious relations with Chinese capital.

Once the relationship between the two parties deteriorates and Standard Chartered changes its past style and extends an olive branch to Chinese capital, it is hard to say whether HSBC's position in 980 Xiangjiang will be as stable as it is now.

Although HSBC and Standard Chartered are both British consortiums, you must know that the consortiums are not completely aligned with each other and are not intimately connected. Many consortiums are even direct competitors. The outcome of the game between the two parties depends entirely on the capital strength of each other. Strength.

"Can you take this opportunity to release some signals?" After hanging up the phone, Team Leader Shen walked slowly in the office with his hands behind his back.

Especially today, after two representative figures of Xiangjiang Chinese capital came to visit in person, He Zhou's personal invitation gave him a lot of inspiration.

It is a general trend for Chinese capital to replace British capital, so what HSBC should and can do is to try its best to seize huge benefits in this mighty tide of the times!

Leader Shen almost subconsciously took off the black gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose, and then wiped them slowly with a lens cloth. The cloudy eyes that were originally hidden behind the thick lenses suddenly became agile and full of wisdom.

He has lived in Xiangjiang for decades, and he knows exactly what the Chinese are thinking.

Since he was appointed as the chairman of HSBC in 2017, he has begun to consciously get close to Chinese capital. Although there was a lot of resistance at the beginning and many board members opposed it, in the end it was he who acted decisively and made arrangements based on his talents. Passed by consensus.

Now, more than two years have passed. Although HSBC's revenue and profitability have grown rapidly during this period, the criticism has not disappeared, but has become more and more intense.

He sighed helplessly, but Leader Shen did not regret his decision. The past two years have proven the correctness of his decision, and in the days to come, this will be more fully verified.

Time will tell everything, and by maintaining a close and friendly relationship with Chinese capital, HSBC will be rewarded tens of millions of times!

"After this interview is over, prepare to sell all the ordinary shares of Hutchison Whampoa to Cheung Kong Holdings, as a favor to Li Chaoren, and HSBC also needs such an opportunity to buy horse bones for thousands of dollars. "

However, the 2 billion Hong Kong dollar loan request put forward by the chartering king was a bit tricky. The other party had too little of its own funds and the loan risk was too high.

However, Taipan Shen is full of confidence. Once these two sensational things are completed, both his personal prestige and the image of HSBC will be at their peak!

Out of respect for Leader Shen, He Zhou accompanied him throughout this visit.

After all, given the identity of the other party, being able to spare precious time and agree to be interviewed is already a great support to him as a junior, and one cannot know how to advance and retreat.

"Hello, Leader Shen!"

"Hello, He Sheng!"

After a simple handshake, the two of them looked at each other openly, and then exchanged greetings. There was no arrogance or trepidation between the powerful and the humble. On the contrary

It's more like a pair of close friends meeting again and talking naturally.

Even after just a moment of contact, He Zhou felt that this person was indeed as other big guys said, he was humble, good at dancing, and deeply understood the cultural essence between China and Britain.

The form of the visit was very casual, and the location was directly arranged at a casual cafe next to the HSBC Bank.

After the two sat down and chatted for a while, He Zhou introduced the basic situation of Economic Weekly to the other party.

When He Zhou proposed that the goal of Economic Weekly is to create the "Forbes", "Fortune" and "The Economist" of the Eastern world, Shen Bi immediately showed an interested look.

Not only are I interested in the upcoming Economic Weekly, but I am also interested in He Zhou, who is ambitious yet calm and sophisticated.

Perhaps, in the future, this person can be classified as a customer group on the same level as Li Chaoren and Charter King.

After the formal interview began, the first question raised was very pointed, especially about the drastic reforms carried out by Mr. Shen on HSBC in the past two years.

Shen Daban did not follow the script, but showed his ambitious and heroic attitude, and talked eloquently: "Today's Hong Kong, there will be great waves and waves.

A closed world is a big taboo. A closed ecology must be fragile, and a closed life must be pale.

If there is no flow, how can the wind and water be clean?

Without competition, how can we eliminate the bad and choose the best?

Rejecting openness means rejecting opportunities; giving up innovation means giving up progress!

If HSBC wants to stay young and energetic forever, it must be a leader of the times, rather than a stumbling block on the road to the times.

At the end of this question, Shen Daban even quoted an ancient poem, "Ask where the canal is so clear, and the living water will come from a source!"

He Zhou's eyes lit up when he heard this. Mr. Shen's answer was simply several levels higher than the pre-prepared reference. He believed that once the magazine was released, it would definitely attract the attention of the people in the city.

"As a successful person, does Shen Daban have anything to say to today's young people?"

At the end of the interview, He Zhou asked an open-ended question. This is also a consistent routine in many interviews, allowing successful people to appear as life mentors, to encourage young people to work hard, or to give them life wisdom for moving forward. .

Shen Daban waved his hand and said modestly: "I am not a successful person. Compared with He Sheng, I am as old as a dog."

"However, from a professional perspective, I think that if young people want to become bankers, they must speak logically and be familiar with international current affairs..."
