Hong Kong movies: What era is this? Are you still playing the dwarf mule game?

Hearing about Boss Lin's handwriting, even Mr. Huo couldn't help but take a breath.

"Brother Lin, are you serious? Each company has 10 million dry shares? How come you guys in the society are so rich now?"

Lin Yi explained with some laughter: "Brother Huo, I am a businessman, a serious businessman.

It's just tens of millions, I give it to the big bosses as an appearance fee, it's nothing."

"You won't use the names of us old guys to commit fraud, right?" Mr. Huo looked at Lin Yi and said suspiciously.

This is tens of millions, not a few thousand. Even if he wants to take it out, he has to think about it.

As far as he knows, the dividends of those big societies are only tens of millions a year, and it is a number that is put together by more than a dozen halls below.

"Grandpa, what do you think of me? Am I that kind of person?"

However, what Boss Lin didn't expect was that Mr. Huo actually nodded in agreement.

Lin Yi: ...

Now all that's missing is the snow in June. He is devoted to doing business, but people just don't believe him.

Finally, after the repeated assurances of Boss Lin, Mr. Huo finally agreed to help him.

"Grandpa, please tell them that this money will not be paid into their accounts at once, but will be distributed over 10 years, giving them 10% dividends every year.

Of course, if they have confidence in me, they can also make additional investments in me. Dividends can be distributed every year according to the proportion of shareholding.

If they want to withdraw, I can also buy back their shares at the original price plus the annual bank deposit interest."

After Lin Yi said this, Mr. Huo believed it a little.

However, he confirmed again: "Can you really take out 500 million at a time?"

Lin Yi patted his chest and assured: "Old man, you don't know, people in the world call me the honest and trustworthy young man."

Old man Huo laughed twice: "Isn't it the bloody butcher?"

Lin Yi: ...

...

Half a month later.

HSBC Chairman's Office.

"Chairman, there is a Mr. Lin outside who said he has an appointment with you." Secretary Jenny came to the chairman Shen Bi's office to report.

Although the name sounds like Chinese, he is a real foreigner.

However, unlike other foreigners, Shen Bi is keen to cooperate with Chinese-funded enterprises.

He is a pure businessman, profit is the top priority, as long as there is money to be made, he doesn't care whether the other party is white or yellow.

"Mr. Lin, I have heard of you for a long time. I have heard Mr. Huo and Mr. Bao mention you many times. You are indeed a promising young man."

"No, no, we young people really need the support of seniors like you, Mr. Shen."

The two sides had another round of meaningless business flattery.

Finally, the conversation got to the point.

"Mr. Lin, I wonder what is the purpose of your visit to HSBC this time? If you need financial support, we welcome it."

In the 1980s, HSBC's loan interest rate was between 5% and 8%.

At first glance, this interest rate is not too low. However, during this period, the three-year fixed deposit of domestic banks reached 9%. And the interest rate in Hong Kong is still 90% out of 13.

If he was not worried that he would not be able to exchange it back to US dollars and Hong Kong dollars, Boss Lin really wanted to borrow all the money from HSBC and deposit it in a mainland bank.

"Mr. Shen, do you recommend that I smoke a cigarette?" Lin Yi pulled out a cigar.

"Mr. Lin, please go ahead." Shen Bi said indifferently.

"Mr. Shen, come and try one, authentic Cuban Havana. I got it through many connections." Boss Lin smiled and handed the cigar in his hand to Shen Bi.

Shen Bi did not refuse and lit one directly.

The two of them puffed smoke in the office.

After taking a deep puff, Boss Lin suddenly extinguished the cigarette.

"Mr. Shen, the purpose of my visit is the more than 20% of Hutchison Whampoa's shares held by HSBC." Boss Lin said bluntly.

"Oh?" Shen Bi was slightly stunned.

He did not expect that the other party would throw out such a big card as soon as he came.

"Mr. Lin, HSBC has 90 million shares of Hutchison Whampoa. How many shares does Mr. Lin want?"

"All of them. To be honest with Mr. Shen, my people have already acquired about 10% of Hutchison Whampoa's shares in the open market. If we add HSBC's 20% shares, we can firmly hold the position of the largest shareholder."

When Shen Bi heard Lin Yi say that he wanted all of them, he was silent for a while.

After a long time, he said, "Mr. Lin, I can't promise you right away. Before you,Several people have talked to me about this matter. "

"But Mr. Shen, you didn't sell it, did you? That means I still have a chance." Lin Yi looked at Shen Bi with a smile.

Shen Bi just smiled and didn't answer Lin Yi's words.

"Mr. Shen, let's not beat around the bush, just speak frankly."

"Mr. Lin, please speak."

"Mr. Shen, I know that the senior management of HSBC and Mr. Weir are not very happy."

Hearing this, Shen Bi's expression changed, but he neither confirmed nor denied it, basically acquiesced.

"Of course, these are only one aspect, and on the other hand," Lin Yi paused when he said this.

Seeing Shen Bi's hesitation, he continued: "On the other hand, it is about the sovereignty of Hong Kong Island. Now there are only the last ten years of the lease, and you are not sure what the situation will be like in Hong Kong Island after the expiration?

Since you are in the banking business, I would make a bold guess that you must not like this highly variable future. Am I right, Mr. Shen? "

After Lin Yi finished speaking, Shen Bi looked at Lin Yi again this time.

"Mr. Lin, I have to say that heroes emerge from youth. Your insight really surprised me.

I really want to deny your point of view, but in fact, you are right, we do have such concerns.

However, you also know that HSBC is not decided by me alone. If you want to sell Hutchison Whampoa, you still need the approval of the board of directors. "

"Mr. Shen, don't you want to listen to the conditions I offer first?"

"Mr. Lin, please speak, Mr. Shen is all ears. "

"First, the current share price of Hutchison Whampoa is 5 yuan. I know that HSBC absorbed 90 million shares at a price of less than 2 yuan.

Now I can offer 7.5 yuan per share and package all the shares in HSBC.

Second, we at Longteng hope to establish a long-term strategic partnership with HSBC. We have decided to use the Golden Gate Building as collateral to borrow 500 million from HSBC.

Third, I have some connections in mainland China. If HSBC is willing, I am willing to help HSBC reopen its business in China. "
