My 1979

Huang Bingxin had his own ideas. He smiled and said, "Mr. Li, I suggest that all the equity interests of Development Bank, Communications, and Investment Promotion be changed, and then placed under the banner of Commerce Financial Group. In this way, there will be no big problem in our cooperation with Goldman Sachs."

Li Hexiao asked, "Can Goldman Sachs agree to this?"

"After being rejected by us, William Shi came to see me a few days later. It was he who made this suggestion."

With the development of Sino-US trade, it is imperative to open branches in the United States, which can not only engage in wholesale business, but also commercial deposits, loans, trade financing, foreign exchange trading and other commercial banking services.

It will also provide financial services to Chinese-funded and local enterprises closely related to Sino-US economic and trade exchanges, including providing convenient and efficient trade settlement and financing services for enterprises engaged in Sino-US trade, as well as providing local information technology, biopharmaceuticals and new technologies in the United States. High-tech pillar industries such as energy provide customized financial services.

This is a big deal.

At the same time, ICBC is already at an internationally advanced level in terms of capital strength, asset quality, etc., and its operational management capabilities and risk control levels have also made great progress, making it fully capable of conducting business in the United States.

"That's perfect." Since he can do this, Li He has no reason to disagree, "It's not a big problem, is it? Have you found a good relationship?"

The financial industry in the United States has always been open, otherwise there would not be tens of thousands of large and small banks in the United States.

After the 1970s, as the urbanization process in the United States continued to deepen, the proportion of urban population increased, and the new populism based on housing credit demand gradually became the mainstream of society. The number of commercial banks reached its peak in 1978, 14,411.

Later, the business scope of all commercial banks was completely the same. They "opened their arms" to seize the market and do business. They were greedy for bigness and blind comparison. The competition became increasingly fierce. Many died and many were merged, but there were still tens of thousands of banks. Home.

It is possible to open branches in all zones.

But the open door to opening a bank does not mean that opening a bank in the United States is an easy task.

Although Goldman Sachs helped, Li He could also estimate the difficulty of opening a branch in the United States.

This is a completely different concept from obtaining a RMB business license in China based on contribution.

The Bank of China was the first to open branches overseas, but it only had one New York branch. Its main business was remittances and bilateral trade.

Huang Bingxin said affirmatively, "I also had interactions with the US Ambassador to China, Rui Xiaojian. This person has some abilities and has served as assistant and secretary to two US secretaries of state. He recommended Kissinger Firm to us and said he could help us open the door. The situation in the United States. The figures in this firm are very influential, including former Assistant Secretary of State Lawrence Eagle and former National Security Advisor General Boonan Scott."

Once senior American officials retire, they always want to make some extra money, and being a political broker is a good career for them.

A large number of them are active in Congress and other government departments, forming an outside lobby group with American characteristics.

The United States is made up of thousands of different interest groups, and each group has the right to lobby for political decisions that benefit itself.

Brokers are middlemen who mainly use donations to help politicians participate in campaigns or other political activities. As long as the money is not directly delivered to politicians and used for their own purposes, it is legal and not bribery.

The alliance between capital and politics passes through the so-called "revolving door" in the United States. That is to say, people in American politics, business circles, and think tanks often change roles and then integrate seamlessly.

Not everyone can be a broker, there are conditions. Kissinger is a veteran political figure. The personal connections, favors, and political resources he has accumulated can be put to use, and he can go to the business world or think tanks to collect high returns.

Therefore, for Chinese companies, finding capable think tanks and brokers to lobby the United States is a required course for Chinese companies to go overseas.

Regardless of Huang Bingxin, Yu Dehua, Shen Daoru and others, when the company enters a stable state, their daily tasks are not to conscientiously make development plans and strategies, but to attend various cocktail parties and business meetings tirelessly.

They spend every month either attending meetings or on their way to meetings.

"It should be no problem to find this person, and you don't have to worry about spending money." When it comes to Kissinger, Li He is not too excited. He has become numb to celebrities. If his wealth is made public, he will also be the number one celebrity in the world.

He has no intention of meeting him. The reason why he is unwilling to show his face so far is that he is not good at dealing with people. Maybe he does not have the patience, or in other words, there are always people who are higher than him in this world, and he is unwilling to bow his head. .

It's better to leave this kind of thing to others. He might as well live peacefully collecting rent and dividends.

"I will do what you want." After Huang Bingxin nodded, he continued, "Li Chaoren's business in Yantian Port was short of funds. He called me. I heard that he meant to let us buy shares. I want Mr. Shen, talk to him."

His main business is bank credit. He has little interest in holding shares, and it does not fit in with the bank's business structure. Currently, the only companies that are good at investment business are Yuanda Investment Group and Yuanda Group, so he recommended Shen Daoru.

"Ask Shen Daoru to call me." Li He had no reason to give up the opportunity to invest in the port business. Although he didn't understand and didn't have much interest, he had no grudge against money and would not let go of any opportunity to make money.

After all, Yantian Port later became a listed company, not counting mosquito legs.

After Huang Bingxin left, Li He looked everywhere for Shoushan but couldn't find it.

Li He asked the hotel manager, "Where is Boss Shou?"

The manager replied, "I'm going to Dongguan."

"Can't?" Li He couldn't understand.

"It's about opening a new hotel." The hotel manager couldn't tell how he felt about Shoushan, but he definitely couldn't say that he liked Shoushan. After all, his colleagues were enemies. What's more, the old man actually opened the Sihai Hotel so close to the Golden Deer Hotel. At night, the four gleaming characters of "Sihai Hotel" seemed too dazzling.

This will definitely affect their Golden Deer Hotel business!

As a hotel manager, if business is not good in the future, Yu Dehua will make trouble for him.

He could only sigh, they are born from the same roots, so why rush!

Although he was close to Li He, he couldn't say this to Li He. He could only say it to Yu Dehua when Dehua came back.

Otherwise, it is a skip report!

This is a taboo and an unspoken rule that everyone in the workplace should know.

"Going to Dongguan to open a hotel?" Li He had never heard Shoushan mention it.

It can only be said that the old man has too much spare money, and he is wondering whether he should get some dividends first.
