Reborn as a tycoon in Hong Kong

After leaving HSBC, Lin Baicheng called Cheng Yufeng and Maori Haruko to Yum Securities.

Lin Baicheng asked Mouri Haruko to stay in Xiangjiang for an extra day or two, but Sasaki Boruto returned to Japan first. He just needed a few days to deal with personal matters before going to work.

Lin Baicheng told the two of them about the conversation between HSBC and Shen Porridge.

After listening, Cheng Yufeng said: "Mr. Lin, HSBC's conditions are very good. Not only will it not do you any harm, but when you need funds in the future, you can borrow a large amount of funds from HSBC. With the support of HSBC, Your career development will definitely be smoother.”

"Chairman, if you feel that fifty years is too long, I think we can talk about the time. And in terms of conditions, we should also be able to talk about it and strive for some conditions that are beneficial to you."

Maori Haruko's views are obviously the same as Cheng Yufeng's. No matter which country you are in, with the support of a big bank, your career development will be much smoother and there will be many benefits.

After listening to what they said, Lin Baicheng said: "Have you ever thought about how I can own my own bank in the future?"

"this"

Cheng Yufeng and Mao Li Haruko couldn't help but look at each other. They didn't expect that their boss would think so far and have the idea of ​​opening his own bank.

Lin Baicheng said: "My long-term goal is to establish a consortium of my own, and it is impossible for a consortium to not have its own bank. This long-term goal of mine will not change and will only continue to develop in this direction."

"In this case, we can only reject HSBC's proposal."

Hearing what Lin Baicheng said, Cheng Yufeng said with some pity: "But in this case, HSBC will definitely not sell its shares to you, Mr. Lin, at a discount. Maybe there will be a premium."

"This is a loss of at least hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars. Whether it is worth it or not, Mr. Lin has to make your own decision."

Maori Haruko also said that they are just assistants, and such decisions involving hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars need to be made by Lin Baicheng himself.

In fact, neither Cheng Yufeng nor Maori Haruko think that Lin Baicheng can establish a consortium now. They think that he should get the immediate benefits first. But Lin Baicheng is the boss. As assistants, they plan for Lin Baicheng, the boss, and assist Lin Baicheng in handling affairs, rather than helping Lin Baicheng make decisions.

"The benefits are not small, but they are not easy to get. I have decided to refuse."

Lin Baicheng shook his head. If it was only for three to five years, then he wouldn't mind signing an agreement with HSBC. After all, he wouldn't have his own bank that soon. But Shen Pou asked for fifty years. Even if the time could be negotiated, twenty or thirty years would still be needed. It was so different from his psychological bottom line that there was no need to discuss it at all.

Lin Baicheng called the two of them here, mainly to discuss how to deal with his refusal and what to do to get Shen Zhou to sell Hutchison Whampoa's shares to Lin Baicheng.

After discussion, Lin Baicheng had a general idea, and the specific details would depend on him and Shen Porridge to adapt to the situation when they discussed it again.

The next morning, Lin Baicheng sent Haruko Maori to the airport to explain some things about the Japanese company.

In the afternoon, Lin Baicheng went to HSBC again. We had made an appointment to meet in advance in the morning, and Bao Yugang was also there this time.

"Shen Daban, I'm sorry. I have a good relationship with Huo Daban of Standard Chartered, and we cooperate very well with Standard Chartered. I can't renege on our previous cooperation just because I can acquire Hutchison Whampoa's shares at a preferential price. So although it's a pity, I can only reject."

Of course, Lin Baicheng cannot say that he wants to have his own bank. He happens to be cooperating with Standard Chartered Bank, so it is most appropriate to use cooperation with Standard Chartered as an excuse to refuse.

"Lin Sheng, this is a discount of hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars. Are you no longer considering it?"

Lin Baicheng's refusal surprised Shen Zhou. After all, this was a discount worth about 300 million Hong Kong dollars. Lin Baicheng could earn 300 million Hong Kong dollars if he agreed, which was not a small sum of money.

Lin Baicheng shook his head: "Daban Shen, I won't hide it from you. I just borrowed HK$300 million from Standard Chartered Bank with Asia Television a few days ago. Standard Chartered Bank supports me so much. It's impossible for me to stop cooperating with it." ? This is the principle of my life, so even though your offer, Mr. Shen, makes me very excited, I can only refuse."

"Lin Sheng is indeed an honest businessman, and his moral character is rare and valuable."

Lin Baicheng has said this, what else can Shen Zhou say? It is impossible to persuade Lin Baicheng not to be honest, and the benefits obtained are the most important, right?

Although a qualified businessman should do this, there are some things you can do, but you must not say them out loud. On the surface, everyone is a good businessman who is honest, trustworthy, and law-abiding.

"It is indeed a pity that we cannot cooperate with Lin Sheng for a long time, but this does not affect our cooperation this time. If you, Lin Sheng, have loan or financing needs in the future, you can also contact HSBC. At the same time, I hope that you, Lin Sheng, can deepen your relationship with HSBC." cooperate."

Shen Chow said that it would not be a loss for HSBC if Lin Baicheng refused. Anyway, he also has talents that he values ​​​​among Xiangjiang businessmen. For example, Li Jiacheng, another figure in this acquisition, had contact with HSBC the year before last year. Shen Zhou had observed Li Jiacheng and found that Li Jiacheng's ability was indeed very good. He also intended to develop Li Jiacheng into a long-term Partner.

"HSBC is the largest bank in Hong Kong. I have a lot to ask for from HSBC in the future. Being able to cooperate with HSBC is the best thing for me."

Lin Baicheng agreed with a smile, and then said: "Daban Shen, don't you know about this transaction?"

"It does not affect this transaction, but the price is not that low."

Hutchison Whampoa's shares still need to be sold. Since Bao Yugang doesn't want it, it's okay to sell it to Lin Baicheng, but we have to have a good discussion on the price and try to sell it at a high price.

"Taban Shen, after buying the shares of Hutchison Whampoa held by your bank, I intend to mortgage these shares to HSBC and obtain a loan from HSBC. At the same time, after I get the control of Hutchison Whampoa, in order to For the development of Hutchison Whampoa, I am going to apply for a loan from the bank. I wonder if HSBC is willing to provide a loan to Hutchison Whampoa?"

After all rejected Shen Zhou, Lin Baicheng never thought that HSBC would sell Hutchison Whampoa's shares to him at such a low price. Without the secret agreement, it would be useless even if it were replaced by Li Jiacheng, let alone Lin Baicheng.

Through what happened to him this time, Lin Baicheng was sure that in his previous life, Li Jiacheng obtained the shares of Hutchison Whampoa from HSBC. Not only was the price low, but he also only had to pay a part of the funds first. It can be seen that HSBC and Li Jiacheng A secret agreement must have been reached secretly, otherwise HSBC and Shen Porridge were not stupid, how could they have given so much money to Li Jiacheng for nothing.

From the development of his previous life, it seems that Li Jiacheng's choice was right. Otherwise, if Li Jiacheng did not have the support of HSBC, how could he have become the richest man in Hong Kong so easily. And HSBC made the right choice. After Li Jiacheng developed, he also created great benefits for HSBC.

However, Lin Baicheng believes that even if he rejects HSBC, based on his understanding of future trends, his development will still be good. It can even be said that if his development in a few decades is not as good as that of Li Jiacheng in his previous life, then he will be a failure.
