Reborn as a tycoon in Hong Kong

The call is connected.

"Sheng Chen, what's going on with Jianing Group's financial fraud? You must give me an explanation and give HSBC an explanation!"

On the phone, Shen Porridge suppressed his anger. He was very, very angry.

You must know that it was out of his trust in Chen Songqing that he allowed HSBC to buy a large number of shares in the Jiani Group and become a shareholder of the Jiani Group. He even let HSBC lend hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars to the Jiani Group.

In addition, Shen Zhou also brought several British investors to become shareholders of the Jianing Group. Now that something happened to the Jianing Group, he didn't know how to explain to those British investors.

All these problems must be blamed on Chen Songqing. Jianing Group is not as good as Chen Songqing said.

"Taipan, there is indeed a financial problem with Jianing Group, but it is not as serious as reported in the news. Lin Baicheng is responsible for all this."

Chen Songqing admitted that he had some financial problems, and then blamed all problems on Lin Baicheng. He knew that if he said that Jianing Group had no problems at all, the other party might not believe it. But if he said that the problem was not big but Lin Baicheng, the enemy, had magnified the problem, then the possibility of Shen Zhou's belief would be greatly increased.

"The media reports must be Lin Sheng's handiwork. He went to the Hong Kong government not long ago. There must be more moves waiting for Jia Ning Group."

Shen Congee agreed that Lin Baicheng was dealing with Jianing Group, but now he did not trust Chen Songqing's words so much: "Chen Sheng, are you sure that Jianing Group's finances are just a minor problem? The reports in the newspapers were so detailed. Those information are not yours." Insiders definitely have no way of knowing, and I now somewhat believe that the reports in the newspapers are true."

"Taipan, you must believe me, I won't lie to you."

Chen Songqing's lies came as soon as he opened his mouth. He said: "It's hard to tell. Our company's accountant Lu Zhixuan was bribed by Lin Baicheng. He took three days of sick leave a few days ago. We didn't think much about it at the time. Unexpectedly, we can't contact him now." Fuck him. Our company does have some financial problems, but the purpose of doing the accounting is to pay less tax so that the company can make more money, but it is definitely not as serious as the reports said. Those reports were all written by Lu Zhixuan and Lin Baicheng. Forged under the instruction of."

Shen Porridge immediately asked: "Can you find this accountant now?"

Chen Songqing said: "We can't contact him now, and no one answered the phone at his home. We have sent people to his home to look for him, but we suspect that he may have left Xiangjiang. It's not easy to find him." .”

"Get someone to fax me Lu Zhixuan's information, and I'll have someone check it to see if there are any records of his leaving the country."

Shen Porridge immediately said that he didn't mind helping with this small favor. No matter how serious the problems of Jianing Group were, it was always a good thing to get people back. If what Chen Songqing said is true and Lin Baicheng was instructing the accountant to falsify data and report it, then it would be an excellent weapon against Lin Baicheng.

"Thank you, Taipan. I will have Lu Zhixuan's information faxed to HSBC in a moment."

Chen Songqing immediately expressed his gratitude. Although the content of the report was true, as long as Lu Zhixuan was captured, he would have a way to make Lu Zhixuan change his story.

"Sheng Chen, don't be in a hurry to thank me."

Shen Cong said: "The problems of Jianing Group have attracted the attention of the board of directors. Although I believe you, the board of directors decided to send people to Jianing to review Jianing's finances again for peace of mind. As long as Jianing's finances are not If there is a problem, or it is just a small problem, then everything is easy to deal with, Lin Sheng’s side, HSBC, will help block it, and he will not be allowed to attack Jianing Group."

He verbally talks about his trust in Chen Songqing, but how can Shen Zhou still trust Chen Songqing as before? He must send someone to investigate the finances of Jianing Group and find out the real situation, so that he can be sure whether Baojia is going to die. Ning Group, it is better to stop losses in time.

"With the support of Taipan and HSBC, I believe Lin Baicheng's little tricks will not succeed."

Chen Songqing immediately complimented him, but then changed the topic: "Taiban, regarding the matter of HSBC sending people to investigate the finances of Jiani Group, I hope it can be postponed for a while, so don't do it for the time being."

"Why? Did you lie to me when you said that Jianing Group has no big financial problems?"

Shen Porridge's tone was unkind, and at the same time he felt a little heavy in his heart. If there is really a problem with the Jiani Group, let alone the loan, the company's stock price will inevitably collapse, and HSBC will lose at least hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars on its investment. Then it will be difficult for him to explain to the board of directors.

Chen Songqing immediately said: "Of course I didn't deceive Taipan. How could I have the courage?"

"Whether you have the courage or not, Chen Sheng, you know it yourself."

Shen Zong spoke sarcastically, saying how good the Caring Group had been under Chen Songqing's whitewash. At that time, Hutchison Whampoa was still the major shareholder of the Caring Group. He was convinced by his trust in Lin Baicheng's ability and Chen Songqing's sweet words. He, so he made HSBC become a shareholder of Carining Group. But the real situation of Jianing Group was not as good as Chen Songqing said. Chen Songqing Jiu was deceiving him at that time, and he didn't think Chen Songqing would have the courage to lie to him now.

Chen Songqing ignored Shen Zhou's sarcasm and said: "Taipan, Lin Baicheng is now trying every means to attack Jia Ning Group. The outside media are also paying close attention to Jia Ning because of today's report. If HSBC leads people to investigate Jia Ning at this time, Finance will definitely make Jia Ning’s situation worse, the media will definitely report that Jian Ning’s financial fraud has been confirmed, and even HSBC will be unable to sit still and wait, not to mention that Lin Baicheng is watching next to it.”

"So, now is definitely not the best time for HSBC to come to Carnegie to investigate the finances."

"Once this happens, the company's stock price will inevitably plummet. I have managed to stabilize the company's stock price at the current price. If you, Taipan, make a move, everything I have done will be in vain."

"But don't worry, Taipan. After this crisis is over, whenever HSBC wants to come to Jiani to re-investigate the finances, Jiani will not refuse."

Chen Songqing knew that there was no way he could refuse to let HSBC go to Jianing Group to investigate the finances. That would mean that there was no money and he was clearly telling the other party that the company's finances were in trouble.

However, Chen Songqing also cannot agree to let HSBC investigate the company's finances, because the company's finances do have very serious problems, and HSBC will definitely find them out this time. Once found out, HSBC will definitely give up on Jianing Group, give up on him, and choose to cut off the company. , that would be a big bad thing for him.

Therefore, Chen Songqing chose to drag HSBC with him temporarily and let HSBC use resources to help him block Lin Baicheng's attack. As for what to do with the subsequent financial investigation, everything will wait until the current difficulties are overcome. If Lin Baicheng's attack cannot be stopped now, there will be nothing to do later.

"Okay, I believe you again."

Shen Porridge was silent for a moment, and finally agreed. It's not that he trusts Chen Songqing, but Chen Songqing's words are not unreasonable. At this time, HSBC comes to the Jianing Group to check the accounts, which will definitely lead to various speculations. The stock price of Jianing Group will inevitably plummet again, and the consequences will be HSBC's losses. more serious.

Therefore, at this time, even if HSBC does not help the Jiani Group, it cannot add insult to injury. At least before HSBC sells the shares it holds in the Jiani Group, it cannot do anything detrimental to the Jiani Group.

"Thank you Taipan for your trust."

Chen Songqing was overjoyed and couldn't help but feel relieved. Now it seems that HSBC has been stabilized for the time being, and that's fine.

Shen Porridge said: "Although HSBC will not go to Jia Ning to check the accounts now, HSBC will go there at any time, and it is up to HSBC to decide when to go. You have to understand this."

"I understand, of course I understand."

Chen Songqing immediately expressed his position and continued: "Taiban, Lin Baicheng will definitely not give up on Jianing Group now. He still needs more help from HSBC."

"Don't worry, HSBC won't let Lin Sheng mess around."

Shen Zhou gave Chen Songqing reassurance that if the Jiani Group was really bankrupted by Lin Baicheng, HSBC would lose at least several hundred million Hong Kong dollars. Such a large amount of money would be enough for HSBC to openly confront Lin Baicheng.

“Thank you Taipan and HSBC for your support, thank you!”

Chen Songqing was overjoyed. With HSBC's support, he didn't have to worry so much.

To be honest, when Lin Baicheng did this this time, although Chen Songqing wanted to eat Lin Baicheng, he also felt a little afraid of Lin Baicheng. After all, Lin Baicheng was the richest man in Xiangjiang and had abundant capital. He was really worried that he could not stop Lin Baicheng's attack. But with HSBC, it's different. Xiangjiang is dominated by the British. HSBC is the representative of British capital. It has strong strength and can definitely stop Lin Baicheng.

"Chen Sheng, please don't disappoint me. Deal with the problems of Jia Ning Group as soon as possible and restore the company's stock price."

After leaving a sentence, Shen Porridge hung up the phone and didn't talk any more.

"Old man, if something happens to the Jianing Group, you will suffer the same fate."

Seeing that the other party hung up the phone without even saying hello, Chen Songqing looked sarcastic and spoke sarcastically.

If the Jiani Group really goes bankrupt, its shares will definitely be worthless, and HSBC will lose at least several hundred million Hong Kong dollars. This does not include the hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars in loans HSBC gave to the Jiani Group. Those loans have already been invested by Jiani Group. There is not much money left in the company's account. Even Chen Songqing himself is not sure how much assets will be left after the company collapses.

Under this circumstance, Chen Songqing is certain that if the Jiali Group collapses, HSBC's losses will be no less than HK$500 million.

With such a huge loss, Chen Songqing believed that Shen Chou would not have an easy time, even if Shen Chow was a senior executive at HSBC.

HSBC.

In the executive office.

After Shen Zhou ended the call with Chen Songqing, he called Henry Kaiser, the chairman of Jardine Matheson.

Henry Kaiserk was obviously waiting for Shen Chou's call, so the call was answered immediately.

"Taipan, are the problems at Jianing Group serious?"

Henry Kaiser asked directly. Although Jardine Matheson and the Carnegie Corporation had no business dealings with the Carnegie Group, they had recently followed HSBC to take over 5% of the Carinea Group's shares from Hutchison Whampoa, worth HK$135 million. If something happens to the Jianing Group, it's hard to say how much money will be left in the shares. It will cost at least tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars.

Not to mention anything else, just now, the share price of Carnegie Group has dropped by nearly 30%. The 5% of Carnegie Group held by Jardine Matheson has lost more than 30 million Hong Kong dollars in market value.

Just thinking about it made Henry Kaiser feel heartbroken. After all, Jardine Matheson had only held shares in the Carining Group for less than a month.

Shen Zong said: "Chen Sheng assured me that Jianing Group did not have any major problems. The financial fraud reported in the media was caused by Lin Sheng bribed an accountant of Jianing Group and asked that accountant to falsify the data in the media ."

"Taipan, can you still believe Chen Songqing's words? Are his words true?"

Henry Kaiser was skeptical about this. After being deceived once, it was difficult for him to trust Chen Songqing again.

Shen Porridge sighed: "Chairman Henry, let me be honest with you. I don't really trust his words, but I can only believe him for the time being."

"Taipan, I don't understand something." Henry Kaesik was a little confused as to what Shen Porridge was thinking.

Shen Zong said: "The current situation is obvious. It was Lin Sheng who took the lead in this incident and blocked Jianing Group behind the scenes. Just in the morning, he went to the Hong Kong government and met with the Hong Kong Governor and the Commissioner of Police. We met, but I still don’t know what they talked about. But what is certain is that what they talked about is definitely not good for the Jiani Group. Unsurprisingly, it is Lin Sheng who wants the Hong Kong government to investigate the Jiani Group.”

"Chairman Henry, we are all shareholders of the Jiani Group now. The stock price of Jiani Group has plummeted in the morning. If Jiani Group is investigated again, no one knows how far the stock price will fall."

"For the sake of the shares we hold, we must try our best to keep the Jianing Group, at least for the time being, to give us time to get out of the market."

"So, what we have to do now is to use the power of our hands to block Lin Sheng's tentacles and prevent him from dealing with the Jianing Group again."

"In this way, Chen Sheng will have time to stabilize Jianing Group and create opportunities for us to leave."

"After things stabilize, we will find time to investigate whether there are any financial problems with Jia Ning Group and how serious the problems are. It will not be too late to deal with Chen Sheng."

Jardine Matheson, Swire Group and the Kadoorie family were all persuaded by Shen Chou to become shareholders of Carnegie Group. Therefore, for the sake of his own reputation, Shen Chou must advance and retreat with them, instead of HSBC quietly leaving the market on his own. Leave them in the Jianing Group.

"What Taipan said makes sense. What we have to do now is to help Jianing Group block Lin Baicheng and prevent Jianing Group from falling."

Henry Kaiser suddenly agreed. For them, the most important thing at the moment was to keep the Guardian Group and prevent their respective shares from becoming worthless.

"Yes, that's the truth."

Shen Porridge said: "We keep in touch at any time. I also need to communicate with the other two companies here. They are also waiting for me to contact them."

"Then I won't disturb Taipan."

Henry Kasik heard this and ended the call.

After hanging up the phone, Shen Zhou contacted Swire Group's Xiangjiang branch chairman Yadi Shihuai Ya, and the Kadoorie family made the final contact.
