Reborn as a tycoon in Hong Kong

HSBC.

In the lounge, Li Jiacheng sat with a pensive look on his face, thinking about the reason why Shen Chou, the senior manager of HSBC, invited him to meet him.

HSBC is the largest bank in Hong Kong. As a businessman, Li Jiacheng has of course dealt with HSBC, and he has also dealt with HSBC's Taipan Shen Chow, but they did not meet many times. Every time, he came to HSBC to seek funds. support.

Therefore, Li Jiacheng and Shen Porridge were not very familiar. Of course he wanted to get acquainted with Shen Porridge, but Shen Porridge suddenly came to him. Of course, he wanted to know the reason.

"Mr. Li, the senior class has invited me."

While Li Jiacheng was thinking, Shen Porridge's secretary walked in.

"Thanks."

Li Jiacheng followed his secretary to Shen Cong's office.

Looking at Li Jiacheng walking in, Shen Porridge walked over with a smile: "Li Sheng, I'm really sorry. I had something to do just now and kept you waiting for a long time."

"You're welcome, Taipan. I'm fine anyway."

Li Jiacheng held Shen Porridge's outstretched right hand with both hands in a respectful manner.

The two of them went to sit on the sofa, and the secretary made a cup of coffee for Li Jiacheng.

The two chatted politely for a while.

Shen Zhou said to Li Jiacheng: "Li Sheng, do you have any opinions on the future economic development of Xiangjiang?"

Although he didn't know why Shen Zhou asked this, Li Jiacheng still organized his words and said: "I am optimistic about the future development of Xiangjiang's economy, and if Xiangjiang's economic development is good, people's income will naturally increase, but Xiangjiang is not a big place and has a large population. , so there will be great achievements in the real estate industry in Xiangjiang. I am optimistic about the future development of the real estate industry in Xiangjiang, and Cangjiang Industrial also mainly develops the real estate industry."

After hearing this, Shen Zhou just nodded and asked again: "Li Sheng, what is the basis for your optimism about Xiangjiang's economic development? Is there no reason?"

Li Jiacheng looked at the sinking porridge and found that he couldn't see anything. After thinking about it, he said: "The ten-year chaos in the mainland has ended. The political and economic situation has changed, which has strengthened the relationship with the Xiangjiang side. This is conducive to the prosperity of Hong Kong's economy, so I am optimistic about the development of Hong Kong's economy unless the political and economic situation in the mainland changes again."

Li Jiacheng hit the point, and Shen Zhou nodded in agreement and said, "Then do you think the political and economic situation on the mainland will change again?"

"Taiban, how could I know this?"

Li Jiacheng smiled helplessly. Even though he was a billionaire in Hong Kong, even he couldn't predict the political and economic situation of such a big country. He couldn't guess the direction.

Shen Porridge was not surprised when he heard this. He looked at Li Jiacheng seriously and said: "So Li Sheng, if the mainland invites business elites from Xiangjiang to invest in the mainland, what will you do? Will you choose to invest heavily?"

Li Jiacheng was about to answer when he heard this, but suddenly his heart moved and he fell silent.

The person in front of me is Shen Zhou, a senior executive at HSBC, and HSBC is the largest bank in Hong Kong. Hong Kong is currently a British colony. This question is definitely not just a curious inquiry.

Looking at Li Jiacheng in deep thought, Shen Porridge did not urge him, but he already had the answer in his heart. The man in front of him was a real businessman, or should I say capitalist.

After a while, Li Jiacheng solemnly said to Shen Zong: "I will go to the mainland to invest, because the mainland has a large population and a huge market. If we insist on developing the economy, we will definitely develop the economy slowly. The investment now will definitely get huge returns in the future." However, I will not invest heavily, nor will I put all my wealth into it, because I will be worried that the political and economic situation in the mainland will change, and we capitalists will not be welcomed, or even our assets will be confiscated."

What Li Jiacheng said is all true. He neither flaunted his patriotic persona nor said he would not invest because of Shen Zhou's existence. He did not specifically pick up good words.

"really!"

Shen Porridge smiled in his heart after hearing this and thought to himself that it was indeed true. Chinese capitalists like Li Jiacheng are exactly what he is looking for. Only young people like Lin Baicheng who don't know the heights of the world, suddenly become rich, and don't know the political depth of the mainland will be close to the mainland and refuse to accept his olive branch. Don't even think about it. If the political and economic situation on the mainland changes, the investment there may be confiscated at any time. By then it will be too late to regret it.

Shen Porridge originally wanted to recruit Lin Baicheng. In his opinion, close cooperation between the two parties would be beneficial to everyone. Unfortunately, Lin Baicheng refused. Shen Porridge immediately changed his goal and found Li Jiacheng, who was previously optimistic about him. Li Jiacheng did not let him Disappointed, he is a standard capitalist.

"Li Sheng, HSBC wants to reach some cooperation with you. HSBC is willing to give you an unsecured low-interest loan of 100 million Hong Kong dollars. In the future, HSBC will give you the best conditions for all your loan financing with HSBC. I believe that HSBC has With support, and Li Sheng’s skills, you will definitely be able to achieve great success in Xiangjiang.”

“Thank you Taipan and HSBC for supporting me.”

Li Jiacheng expressed his gratitude aloud. He secretly suppressed the excitement in his heart and asked aloud: "Daban, I think HSBC's support for me must be conditional, right?" Whatever you do, you cannot just give benefits for no reason without any requirements.

"Of course, Li Sheng, please listen to me."

Shen Porridge smiled and nodded, very satisfied with Li Jiacheng's calmness, and secretly thought that he had indeed seen the right person.

At the moment, Shen Zhou told HSBC's conditions, which were more stringent than what he had originally told Lin Baicheng. There is of course a reason for this. Lin Baicheng's financial resources are stronger than Li Jiacheng's. Of course, Shen Zhou's conditions are better, and Li Jiacheng's conditions are of course more stringent.

HSBC's conditions, such as only cooperating with HSBC and not opening a bank, were nothing to Li Jiacheng, and he could agree without even thinking about it.

However, there are certain conditions that he has to consider. For example, when his assets reach HK$50 billion, he must have investments in the UK, and his assets in the UK cannot be less than 10% of all his assets.

There are other similar difficult conditions, but there are none that Li Jiacheng cannot accept. For example, if Li Jiacheng's political attitude is completely tilted toward the United Kingdom and he stands directly opposite the mainland, if such conditions exist, then he has to seriously consider whether it is worth it.

Li Jiacheng talked with Shen Porridge, and after relaxing some conditions slightly, he agreed to cooperate with HSBC. For Li Jiacheng, he only has a small net worth now, and he can't guarantee what will happen in the future. But with the support of HSBC, he is confident that he can have a net worth of more than 10 billion Hong Kong dollars in the future, so he is unwilling to refuse Cooperation with HSBC.

Many of HSBC's conditions will only be effective after Li Jiacheng has a net worth of tens of billions, otherwise they will be meaningless. Therefore, in Li Jiacheng's view, it feels like a piece of pie falling from the sky, and he wants to eat this piece of pie.
