Hong Kong: Rise of the Kings

Hong Kong, HSBC -——

HSBC senior manager Shen Bi looked at Lee Zhaoheng who walked into his office with the head of the loan department with slightly complicated eyes.

Before today, Shen Bi had a very good impression of Lee Siu-heng. He was a young man who had clear ideas and was calm in situations. However, recently, Lee Siu-heng established an alliance to defeat Du Du, uniting many bigwigs in Hong Kong and even abroad to want to To swallow up Hengchuang Real Estate and defeat the Du Group, he purchased the shares of Hengchuang Real Estate in the stock market and committed a hostile takeover.

When he first heard the news, Shen Bi laughed it off and regarded it as a joke. He didn't think the Lee Zhaoheng he knew could be so stupid. It was probably fake news released by someone to cause trouble in the Hong Kong stock market. After all, the stock market is In this way, many people rely on tricks to make money here.

But in the past few days, he couldn't help but not believe that in order to defeat Du Yongxiao, Li Zhaoheng went to great lengths. He was even afraid that Shen Bi would help Du Yongxiao, so he teamed up with people from Bailiqu and relied on the Independent Commission Against Corruption to accuse Shen Bi of malpractice. By manipulating the title of economic crime, Du Yongxiao's money bag was blocked, so that Du Yongxiao had no backup, so that he could unscrupulously annex Hengchuang and the Du Group behind Hengchuang with the anti-Du alliance.

Now, if Du Yongxiao hadn't rescued him, Shen Bi might still be drinking coffee at the Independent Commission Against Corruption.

What Shen Bi didn't expect was that, just as Du Yongxiao had guessed, Lee Zhaoheng would take the initiative to come to HSBC to find him, and he would do so with the head of the loan department. His intention was self-evident.

In fact, Li Zhaoheng was a little uncomfortable seeing Shen Bi at this moment.

Unfortunately, if Lee Zhaoheng wants to raise 5 billion, he must deal with major banks in Hong Kong.

Prior to this, Lee Zhaoheng had contacted Citibank Hong Kong and Standard Chartered Bank Hong Kong, and personally went to get a mortgage loan. Only then did he collect 3 billion, plus the billion on hand, there was still 1 billion short of 5 billion. There was no way , now the only bank in Hong Kong that has the ability to lend him one billion at a time is HSBC. Lee Zhaoheng has no choice but to bite the bullet and come over to deal with Shen Bi.

In Lee Zhaoheng's view, if Shen Bi was a qualified banker, he would abandon his past grievances and aim to help the company make profits instead of directly rejecting himself.

Of course, it all depends on what he does next.

"Manager Shen."

"Daban Shen."

"What do you two want from me? Mr. Qi Youli, you are very busy, and I didn't expect you could find time to come and sit with us at HSBC." Shen Bi took off the glasses from his eyes and smiled at the credit manager and Li Zhaoheng who came in. said.

The credit supervisor stepped forward and said to Shen Bi very enthusiastically: "That's it, Manager Shen, I'm here to report to you. Mr. Henry Lee wants to cooperate with us at HSBC. Regarding the specific cooperation matters, I It’s all written, please read it!”

The credit supervisor said as he stepped forward and handed the application documents he was holding to Shen Bi, who was sitting there.

After handing over the documents, the credit manager turned to look at Lee Zhaoheng again, with a sincere look in his eyes to comfort him, meaning that our previous negotiation was perfect and he would not be rejected.

Shen Bi opened the loan application documents. One minute, two minutes passed——

At this time, there was a knock on the door, but someone called the credit supervisor to come over because there was something that needed to be dealt with.

The credit supervisor said to Shen Bi apologetically: "I have to go out and do some work first! Manager Shen, please review it first. If you have any questions, just ask me!"

After speaking, he turned to the waiting Li Zhaoheng and said: "Mr. Li, please wait here for a while. The review procedures are so troublesome, please don't mind! Our manager Shen works seriously and carefully. If I have any questions, I need to ask you." , just answer it truthfully."

"Okay, thank you! Sorry to trouble you!" Lee Zhaoheng smiled at the credit supervisor.

The credit supervisor saluted Shen Bi politely, then turned and left.

When he left, only Shen Bi and Li Zhaoheng were left in the room.

Shen Bi carefully looked through the application materials in his hand, raised his head for a moment, and said with a smile to Li Zhaoheng: "Mr. Li, to be honest, I didn't expect you to come to HSBC to borrow money. You should know about my relationship with Du Yongxiao, and that I I also know what you did to me last time with Baili Qu in order to defeat Du Yongxiao..."

"That's all in the past. Besides, in my opinion, everyone is a businessman. To be precise, you are a banker and I am a businessman. If you open a bank for loans, I will come over if I need money!" Lee Zhaoheng sat He went to the sofa next to him and said to Shen Bi: "Besides, HSBC Bank has always adhered to the belief of helping others and actively winning over every customer. I have cooperated with your bank before, and it was perfect, isn't it?"

When Shen Bi heard Li Zhaoheng say this, he leaned forward slightly, put his hands on the table and looked at Li Zhaoheng, and said with a smile: "Oh? You mean you are a guest, I am the bank manager, we are talking now Business, right?"

"Of course, does Mr. Shen have other ideas?" Li Zhaoheng raised his eyebrows and asked Shen Bi in a calm tone.

Shen Bi smiled, regained his posture, clasped his hands and looked at Lee Zhaoheng and said: "Before this, I want to know how many banks you have visited and how much loan you have borrowed?"

Lee Zhaoheng hesitated and said: "I have been to both Standard Chartered and Citigroup, and the total loans were 3 billion."

"Three billion, so much?" Shen Bi took off his glasses, took out a wiping cloth, and wiped them gently.

"Yes, I need so much money," Lee Zhaoheng said calmly, "We are still short of one billion, so I came to you."

"Then do you think I will give you a loan?" Shen Bi put his glasses back on his face, looked at Lee Zhaoheng, his voice became serious and formal, and the teasing just now disappeared.

Lee Zhaoheng rubbed his hands as if he was hungry and was about to sit down at the dining table to eat, and asked politely to Shen Bi: "Why don't you lend me a loan? Just because you and Du Yongxiao are good friends, oh no, to be precise You are Du Yongxiao, are you doing something for him? Or is it because I teamed up with Baili Qu to get you to the ICAC? If that is the case, Mr. Shen, you are too stingy!"

Shen Bi nodded slightly, seeming to be thinking about Li Zhaoheng's words.

This Lee Zhaoheng is really shameless, don't give him a chance, otherwise he will seize the opportunity to launch, and he will immediately fight to the death and kill all possible means.

If these two things are separated from the competition for property and stock market acquisitions, we can see that Li Zhaoheng is very ambitious in any one of them.

Now the two things have actually become one. As long as Li Zhaoheng defeats Du Yongxiao this time, his position as the future head of the Li family will be unshakable. He can even aspire to the throne of Xiangjiang Emperor and compete with Mr. Huo and his gang of old people; look at Li Zhaoheng again. Zhaoheng's already excited and hungry expression, coupled with the other party's move to borrow money from HSBC, Shen Bi didn't know what would happen to the Li family, but at least now the war in the stock market has entered a fever pitch.

Funds are bullets and cannonballs!

Only with a steady stream of funds can we achieve final victory.

Shen Bi, who has been in the financial world for many years, was thinking. After being silent for a long time, he said to Li Zhaoheng: "You are very powerful, Mr. Li, were you deliberately irritating me just now? Although I don't know your purpose What is it, but I know that your ultimate goal is to get a loan from here. Then let me ask you another question. You mortgage so many Ritchie Group assets, your father, his elder brother, and your third brother. Do you know?"

Li Zhaoheng smiled, smiling very unruly, and raised his chin slightly towards Shen Bi: "How can a sparrow know the ambition of a swan? Sometimes you can't look forward and backward when doing things, let alone be indecisive. Whatever you want to do, you just need to follow your own beliefs!" "

"Do you mean -" Shen Bi paused, "You didn't discuss it with your family at all? Mortgage so many assets and get a loan of one billion?"

"You can think so!" Lee Zhaoheng said to Shen Bi, "In short, all the mortgage loan information is here, you just need to check whether it is OK!"

Sure enough, this is the answer!

"Mr. Li...you...seriously, I admire you very much. You played a big game this time!" Shen Bi said to Li Zhaoheng, and then pointed to the information waiting for approval, "These mortgages you provided Company, where did the seal on it come from? If your father and elder brother don’t know--"

"There's no need to trouble Mr. Shen with too many questions." Lee Zhaoheng snorted, "You only need to approve and sign. As for these information... they are all legally binding!"

Shen Bi guessed from Li Zhaoheng's expression that these mortgage company seals, etc., were probably stolen by Li Zhaoheng, stamped secretly, signed, etc. She didn't know what means he used to get his father, eldest brother and The three younger brothers obeyed obediently.

Shen Bi looked at the information carefully and compared the seals and signatures on it carefully, and confirmed again that they were all genuine and legally binding.

Secretly mortgaging all the family's assets, I really don't know what Lee Zhaoheng's head is thinking!

Shen Bi took out a cigar from the insulated cigar box on the coffee table, removed the cap, struck a match and lightly toasted it for two seconds, and then light blue smoke came out of his mouth.

He is not a very strong banker who needs to use cigars to enhance his temperament. Most of the time, he is tepid, neither impatient nor impatient, and looks like a Confucian businessman. Now, when he lights the cigar, he is actually a little hesitant. He is thinking about many things.

Li Zhaoheng couldn't wait any longer. He laughed and said to Shen Bi: "Shen Daban, now that we have made it clear, please hurry up and approve it. I really need this money! Of course, In fact, it doesn’t matter even if you don’t approve. In addition to HSBC, there are many small banks in Hong Kong. The worst I can do is borrow from a few more and run more errands..."

Shen Bi blew out the smoke and looked at Lee Zhaoheng: "To be honest, I really don't want to criticize it, you know?"

"I know, you hate me, don't you?"

"Yes, I hate you very much! But now I hate myself even more. Who told me to be a banker? Who told me to be responsible for HSBC and every customer?"

"Then what happens next-"

"Next, I can approve it, but I can delay the loan to you until you finish fighting Du Yongxiao-"

Lee Zhaoheng raised his eyebrows, "You're not so shameless, are you?"

"Shameless? It seems that you were the first to be shameless, joining forces with Bailiqu, Li Luofu, and the Independent Commission Against Corruption—"

Just when Shen Bi stated Li Zhaoheng's charges——

Ding ding, the desk phone suddenly rang.

Shen Bi was stunned for a moment.

However, Lee Zhaoheng suddenly laughed, leaned on the sofa, pointed at the phone, and said to Shen Bi in an arrogant manner: "The call is coming, why don't you answer it?"

Shen Bi looked at the phone and then at Lee Zhaoheng, "What are you doing again?"

"You'll know when you answer the phone!"

Shen Bi snorted coldly before picking up the phone.

On the other side of the phone was the boss of HSBC Bank headquarters, Shen Bi's immediate boss.

On the phone, Shen Bi's face turned ugly as the other party scolded her.

The big boss's idea was very simple. He asked Shen Bi to set up a good position and not to affect HSBC's business because of personal grudges. He also said that Lee Zhaoheng was a very high-quality customer this time and the mortgage information was reasonable, so Shen Bi must approve it as soon as possible.

In short, the person on the phone was using his power to force Shen Bi to make a decision quickly.

Shen Bi hung up the phone and his face became extremely ugly.

Lee Zhaoheng was extremely comfortable, leaning on the sofa, raising his eyebrows and saying to Shen Bi: "Shen Daban, now you understand, people can't help themselves in the world, not to mention you are just a wage earner!"

Shen Bi smiled bitterly, shrugged at Li Zhaoheng, spread his hands and said: "That's right, now I know that I am really just a wage earner! Well, thank you for helping to wake me up!"

After saying that, Shen Bi didn't hesitate, picked up the pen, took off the pen cap, and signed the approval documents.

After finishing, Shen Bi handed the information to Li Zhaoheng and said: "You win!"

Lee Zhaoheng stood up proudly and took the information, shaking his hands and saying: "So, everyone must recognize the reality clearly! As your good friend, Du Yongxiao cannot get a loan or help from you, and I, His enemies loaned one billion, this is his skill!”

Shen Bi smiled bitterly and said nothing.

Lee Zhaoheng collected the information and turned to leave proudly.

At this moment, Lee Zhaoheng was in an extremely happy mood. He felt very happy to be able to teach a big class in the bank like Shen Bi.

In particular, you can take one billion to make up five billion. When the time comes, you can take another five billion from Li Jiacheng and others, a full one billion, and why not kill Du Yongxiao?

Hahaha!

Lee Zhaoheng almost laughed.

Everything goes well,

It’s true that everything depends on God, and everything depends on people!

After Lee Zhaoheng went out triumphantly, Shen Bi, who had a bitter look on his face, immediately changed his face and put on a relaxed and happy expression.

He picked up the phone and dialed a number——

"Hello, Mr. Soros, according to Mr. Du and your instructions, I have loaned 1 billion to Lee Zhaoheng. Yes, he has no doubts. Thank God, thank you for the call from the headquarters, which convinced him No doubt! Maybe—”

Shen Bi paused and said with a smile: "Maybe this is God's will!"
