Reborn in Hong Kong: The Tycoon Grows Up

Early the next morning, Bao Zixuan watched the news and felt that Bao Yugang reacted really quickly this time. In fact, when several people left Li Ji Tea Restaurant yesterday, Huo Yingdong and Dong Haoyun met with the Charter King. After the two conveyed their intentions, the charter king directly held a press conference.

At the meeting, he directly announced his resignation as chairman of the Hong Kong Jockey Club and director of Bao Huodong Mining Company. He also announced that Su Haiwen's future affairs would have nothing to do with the Bao family. Whether he lives or dies outside is his own business. Don't associate him with the Bao family. After saying these words, the reception was declared over without giving any time for questions from reporters.

Hence Bao Zixuan’s lament, and almost all the media used the title “Charter King Compromises”. No one would have thought that the Charter King would be so decisive in order to maintain unity among Chinese businessmen and start a war with Bao Zixuan. It's hard to fault anyone, and many people have seen how generous the charter king is.

However, this incident also had some impact on Bao Zixuan to a certain extent, thinking that he was bullying honest people. The charter king was able to exclude his eldest son-in-law's family and resign as chairman of the Jockey Club. Still not satisfied, he actually asked people to withdraw from the board of directors of Bao Huodong Mining Company. This, to a certain extent, eliminated the charter king from the inner circle formed by Bao Zixuan and Huo Yingdong.

As the number one exposer of Bao Zixuan scandal, Sing Tao Daily introduced the great achievements of many charter kings, and said that they have become models for Chinese businessmen in Hong Kong. To go to such an extent to start a war with Bao Zixuan shows how open-minded the charter king is.

If a war breaks out now, HSBC and Swire will definitely spare no effort to support the charter king. Heiyun's strength is strong. But it's not necessarily possible to do anything to Wharf. At most, both sides will be defeated and both will be injured. For the sake of Xiangjiang's prosperity, the chartering king was able to make concessions in front of a junior, which also reflects Bao Zixuan's domineering attitude.

Li Yulin really didn't know what to say when she saw the report, but what she was worried about happened. However, it was hard to imagine that his son could force Bao Yugang to do this, at least not many people in Xiangjiang could do it.

After reading the report, Shen Bi called Bao Yugang. The HSBC executive also knew that the charter king would definitely hate him. After all, the price paid this time was quite high, even to the point of giving up the car to save the handsome man.

Shen Bi: "Sheng Bao, you don't have to do this. If you have any difficulties, HSBC will definitely be your strong backing. I have always regarded you as my best friend."

Bao Yugang: "It's not thanks to Shen Sheng, but I have already decided on this matter. Don't mention it again. Also, although Su Haiwen left the Bao family, my daughter is still there. I hope Shen Sheng is making any decision. You can take care of it when you are here, we are good friends, aren’t we!”

Shen Bi knew that this was a warning given to him by Yugang Bao, but when had he ever been threatened by a rich Chinese man as a top executive at HSBC? The old British families may make him wary. Most of the current Chinese businessmen are supported by him. At least Shen Bi thinks so. Even Bao Yugang, the former richest man in Hong Kong, thinks that he is not enough in the face of absolute strength.

Shen Bi: "Bao Sheng, the relationship between you and Bao Zixuan is no longer what it was before. If he can force you like this this time, he may not know what he will do next time! I hope you think about it carefully and don't go the same way sometimes. Go to Heilongjiang. Your development is in Xiangjiang, and the prosperity of Xiangjiang cannot be separated from the contribution of HSBC. Everything is unknown when you return, so you still have to be prepared."

Bao Yugang: "Thank you Shen Sheng for reminding me. I have my own plan for the development of the Bao family. I won't bother you to worry about it. Let's think about the problems that HSBC will face next!"

Bao Yugang knew that the Bao family paid the price this time. Although HSBC has a transcendent status in Hong Kong, it cannot cover the sky with one hand. If you make a choice at a critical moment, it's impossible for Bao Zixuan's character to not react at all.

After listening to Bao Yugang's words, Shen Bi also started to worry, yes! The charter king paid the price. HSBC did much more ruthlessly than the Bao family this time. How could Bao Zixuan not react at all?

In fact, Bao Zixuan is also thinking about this issue, whether to break up now or wait until the Huaying negotiations and HSBC are in the quagmire to launch an attack. However, a gentleman does not seek revenge overnight, so it is not his character to be so forbearing. If there comes a time when someone will say that you are an old fox and are not in line with what he is doing at his age. Since God gave him a chance to live again, he couldn't just endure it.

So Bao Zixuan made an appointment with Sumitomo Takeshi without hesitation, although cooperation with the Bank of Japan was not a long-term solution. But it can be regarded as an emergency plan when you don't have a bank, and it can also share some of the pressure.

Sumitomo Takeshi saw Bao Zixuan and said, "Hello Bao-san! I have wanted to come and visit you for a long time."

Bao Zixuan: "Mr. Sumitomo, you are very polite. A lot of things have happened recently. I like to be direct. If Heiyun hands over most of Xiangjiang's settlement business to Sumitomo Bank, will you be able to withstand the pressure brought by HSBC?"

Although Sumitomo Takeshi thought a lot when he came, he never expected Bao Zixuan to be so direct. This was something he had not expected. His good professionalism made him react quickly and said: "Although HSBC is a British bank, it only has some influence in Hong Kong and the Far East. Sumitomo Bank's headquarters is here. Everything is It’s not a problem. If Bao Sang has any requirements, you can tell him directly. If he can fulfill them, I will definitely satisfy him.”

Bao Zixuan: "With your words, I feel relieved. I don't want you to provide me with any discounts or exemptions. After all, your operation also requires costs. There is only one requirement to keep customer information confidential and fund security."

Sumitomo Takeshi didn't expect Bao Zixuan's request to be so simple, but considering the role played by HSBC this time. I understood immediately, and said very seriously: "The Sumitomo family has been operating in the banking industry for more than a hundred years, and credibility is the most basic guarantee. I promise you with the reputation of the Sumitomo family that we will ensure the core interests of our customers."

Bao Zixuan: "That's good. You will arrange for people to come over tomorrow to open bank accounts for Heiyun employees. From now on, their wages will be paid by your bank. At the same time, I will also ask all customers to send their remittances to Sumitomo Bank as much as possible. If your bank does not So many Hong Kong dollars can be issued in Japanese yen.”

In the next period of time, the appreciation of the yen will be like a rocket, and the assets of employees will increase by at least 15% every year. This is also the reason why Bao Zixuan chose the Bank of Japan. Through this incident, people can feel that it is not easy to I have made money; I can only say that I am lucky and it is not easy to doubt anything.

Sumitomo Takeshi didn't expect that things would go so smoothly and that the conversation would be over so quickly. And it’s much easier to pay in Japanese yen, and you can also earn an exchange rate difference. Seeing Sumitomo Takeshi's surprised expression, Bao Zixuan continued: "Mr. Dong said that your family's business reputation can be guaranteed based on his personality. I have no reason not to believe it."

Sumitomo Takeshi quickly explained the situation to the Japanese headquarters. No one could negotiate such a large order this time. Moreover, the strength of the Sumitomo family is not afraid of HSBC, even in Xiangjiang.

When Takeshi Sumitomo was still in the Heiyun office area, he heard Bao Zixuan's voice coming from the radio.

Bao Zixuan: "Hello, fellow employees, I am Bao Zixuan. I have a lot of responsibility for the failure of the acquisition of Taikoo Matheson. It is not because we are not strong enough, but because someone stabbed us in the back."

"For partners who don't take us seriously, we can't be warm to others. Therefore, I have decided that from next month, all employees of Heiyun in Xiangjiang will no longer use HSBC to pay their wages. Instead, Sumitomo Bank will pay their wages. We are conducting business services, and tomorrow according to the order of the list, Sumitomo Bank staff will go to each department office to handle bank accounts."

"Employees who currently use HSBC bank accounts will gradually cancel their accounts tomorrow. The company will arrange security to escort everyone to Sumitomo Bank Xiangjiang Branch, or you can deposit it in other banks. The group will also cancel its accounts in HSBC. I hope all employees I can understand and accept the company's unified arrangements. At the same time, I would like to thank everyone for supporting Heiyun and myself during the crisis; thank you again."

Xiangjiang Heiyun's employees are very mixed. Basically, employees from every country use their own country's bank to pay their wages. Only local employees in Xiangjiang will use HSBC or Standard Chartered Bank for settlement. Moreover, HSBC is the main partner bank, so this time it is equivalent to a fight to the death.
