Chapter 164 President of Xiangjiang Telephone Company
After a busy day and a mountain of work, it's finally over now.
On the boss chair, Shen Bi stretched his waist and twisted his stiff neck to relieve the fatigue from a day's work.
As the general manager of HSBC Bank, Shen Bi has a very heavy workload every day. No matter whether it is a big or small matter, whether it is urgent or not, he, the general manager, needs to understand, and many things need to be handled by himself.
During the day, because of Chen Yi's affairs, a lot of work was delayed. The financial industry is a job that cannot delay time, so he can only stay and work overtime at night.
Of course, for Shen Bi, working overtime is now commonplace. If he wants to be famous, he must suffer first.
Boom——
Hearing a knock on the door, Shen Bi moved a bit, got up from the boss chair, and walked towards the door.
When the female secretary saw Shen Bi coming out, she was slightly taken aback, and then said: "General Manager, I have just contacted Ms. Hai Lu, the president of Xiangjiang Telephone Company, and she said that she will report back to the London headquarters tomorrow, and she needs to go back for a week. "
When Shen Bi heard this, he frowned and asked, "Did that Ms. Hailu say when she will leave Xiangjiang tomorrow? What time is the flight?"
The secretary replied: "It seems that tomorrow morning, Xiangjiang will fly directly to London. I didn't find out the exact time."
Shen Bi was silent for a while, then said: "Help me contact Ms. Hailu, ask her if she is free tonight, and tell her that I have important matters to look for her."
The female secretary said: "Ms. Hailu seems to be attending a party at the Peninsula Hotel. The general manager can go directly there now. I will contact Ms. Hailu again."
Shen Bi looked down at the watch in his hand, and found that it was past eight o'clock, almost nine o'clock, so he said: "Okay, you can contact me immediately, I will go to the Peninsula Hotel now, after contacting you, go back to rest after get off work." ,Today was tough."
"Okay, general manager" Overtime work is something that every employee dislikes, and the female secretary is no exception.
However, as the general manager's secretary, she also knew that sometimes it was necessary to work overtime, especially when Shen Bi, the general manager, hadn't left work yet, she couldn't leave early as the secretary.
finish the matter
Shen Bi put on his coat and went downstairs to the parking lot.
A week is too long. Today, after Chen Yi returned from HSBC, Xinji sent a notice to purchase Xiangjiang Telephone Company.
Obviously, from Shen Bi's point of view, that little guy Chen Yi is interested in the influence of Xiangjiang Telephone Company in Xiangjiang. As the only telephone company in Xiangjiang, the role of Xiangjiang Telephone Company is self-evident.
Just recently, news came out that Dadong Telegraph, the parent company of Xiangjiang Telephone Company, had sold its business in Xiangjiang.
If Dadong Telegraph really intends to sell the Xiangjiang Telephone Company, this is indeed an excellent opportunity. If the Xiangjiang Telephone Company can be acquired, it will greatly promote Chen Yi's future career effect.
This was the first request made by Chen Yi, and HSBC had to meet it, otherwise the transaction between the two parties would be difficult to proceed.
However, the Dadong Telegraph Bureau is a truly giant company. Compared with HSBC, its influence is
But it will be much more.
Great East Telegraph was first established in 1872. Its telephone business covers dozens of countries around the world. It has nearly a hundred years of experience in telecommunications services. In the field of long-distance telephone communications, it occupies more than a quarter of the global market share.
To sum it up in one sentence, that is, as long as it was once the sphere of influence of the United Kingdom, there would be the existence of the Dadong Telegraph Bureau.
The communication industry plays a very important role in a country and society. Compared with the Dadong Telegraph Bureau, HSBC Bank looks a lot paler.
The Dadong Telegraph Bureau has a great influence in the communication industry, and even has a certain monopoly position in the communication industry in Asia. Just like Xiangjiang, the Xiangjiang Telephone Company under the Dadong Telegraph Bureau directly monopolizes Xiangjiang communications industry.
In comparison, among the many banks in the UK, HSBC is only in the middle and upper reaches, and its main business is mostly concentrated in Asia and Africa. Its UK and European businesses only occupy a small part.
When the Asian economy was just developing and Hong Kong had not become an Asian financial center, HSBC's influence and voice were still very limited.
Therefore, regarding the acquisition of Xiangjiang Telephone Company, Shen Bi had no way to contact the Dadong Telegraph Bureau directly, so he could only start with Xiangjiang Telephone.
In a corner of the Peninsula Hotel lobby, Shen Bi met Ms. Hai Lu, the president of Xiangjiang Telephone Company.
As soon as they met, Shen Bi apologized sincerely, "Ms. Hailu, I'm very sorry to bother you."
Ms. Hai Lu gracefully picked up the wine glass, took a sip of the red wine, and lingered on Shen Bi for a while before she put down the wine glass and said with a smile: Mr. Shen is so eager to see me, is there something important? "
In fact, Ms. Hailu had already guessed the purpose of Shen Bi's coming to see her when she was inquiring about her at HSBC.
As a subsidiary of the Dadong Telegraph Bureau, Xiangjiang Telephone Company does not have much business dealings with HSBC. Usually, even if necessary, Xiangjiang Telephone Company prefers Standard Chartered Bank.
The reason is nothing more than the fact that Standard Chartered Bank is more popular.
What is the seedling root is red?
Let’s start with the establishment of Standard Chartered Bank. The English name of Standard Chartered Bank is not Standard Chartered Bank, but “Standard Chartered Bank”.
Note that the word franchise is very important.
What charter? Whose license? This is a big deal.
The emergence of Standard Chartered Bank was established under the charter of the Queen of England. In the 19th century, as the largest country in the world, the influence of the British royal family was beyond imagination.
And Standard Chartered Bank was established at that time under the charter of the Queen of England. Do you think its background is deep enough and big enough?
Therefore, many British companies, especially giant companies like Dadong Telegraph, would only deal with Standard Chartered Bank instead of HSBC even if they wanted to deal with them.
The existence of HSBC and its status today are largely dependent on Standard Chartered Bank. Because Standard Chartered Bank was established under the charter of the Queen of England, Standard Chartered Bank had a high political status in Hong Kong in the early days.
Later, in order to avoid the dominance of Standard Chartered Bank, HSBC and Standard Chartered Bank had the status of equally sharing the right to issue banknotes in Hong Kong dollars.
In other words, the existence of HSBC is largely used to check and balance Standard Chartered Bank.
After World War II, with the decline of Britain's international status, the royal family's brand was not as loud as before, which is why HSBC came later.
