Reborn in Hong Kong: The Tycoon Grows Up

At this time, Governor Youde was in a dilemma, and at the same time he hated Shen Bi and Huifeng in his heart. You said that you dare to do this at this time, even if you want to favor you, he also needs political achievements as the governor. Xiangjiang developed rapidly during MacLehose's administration, and now that he has just taken office, he really wants to make a difference.

At the beginning of the year, the British Empire encountered the Falklands War and was forced to sell 5 billion pounds of war bonds in Hong Kong, which already made the people of Hong Kong dissatisfied. Then came the Sino-British negotiations. The most important negotiations did not yet have a clear result, leaving the people of Xiangjiang in panic. At a time when international financial speculators are shorting the Hong Kong dollar and the people of Hong Kong need to unite as one, there has been another incident of HSBC providing funds to its opponents. If London believes that its capabilities are limited, then its political future is over.

Judging from the current situation, HSBC must have provided more than 100 billion Hong Kong dollars to its opponents. If it were placed in the British Empire, it would not be an exaggeration to sentence Shen Bi and the HSBC board members to death. Kill them a thousand times without understanding their feelings. hatred. But this is Hong Kong, and the British Empire still needs HSBC to stabilize the financial order here. Then we must do everything possible to keep HSBC and Shen Bi.

But now it seems that it is not easy to keep HSBC. Standard Chartered Bank has stated that it wants HSBC to give an explanation to the people of Hong Kong. It can only be blamed on Shen Bi who is usually too arrogant and domineering and is ignored by everyone. Now that they see the trouble at HSBC and these people want to trample you to death, how can they speak for you.

Governor Youde said: "It seems that the evidence that HSBC Bank provided funds to its opponents is now sufficient. The Hong Kong government must send people to HSBC for internal investigation. All participants in the incident will definitely be severely punished. I hope that Mr. Shen will fully cooperate. If in If a problem arises, I want to protect you and the entire people of Xiangjiang will not let you go."

"In addition, regarding the minting rights, we will do as Bao Sheng said. Each bank will have a 25% share. Do you have any other opinions?"

Shen Bi knew that things were hopeless now, and being able to keep 25% of the mint share was a mercy from the Governor's Office. But can I keep my position in the top class? He has now begun to worry about his future. The board of directors of HSBC will never let him go if he loses so many privileges. They will support you when you make money, but now that you are being suppressed and sanctioned, Taipan is the scapegoat.

This time the matter will be big, and Mo Keyuan alone cannot quell the public anger; now it seems that HSBC will take responsibility, either Shen Bi or Pu Weishi. She needs to plan carefully when she goes back. Shen Bi doesn't want to leave HSBC so early, let alone in this way.

But Shen Bi has no regrets. Although HSBC lost some of its privileges in Hong Kong, it got the opportunity to expand in the United States. After Xiangjiang's return, the privileges may all be taken back, it's just a matter of time.

Now being able to exchange HSBC's privileges in Hong Kong for development opportunities in the United States is not a very disadvantageous deal, at least Shen Bi thinks so.

What Shen Bi cares most about is the right to mint money, which involves the status of a bank. HSBC's previous superior status in Xiangjiang was due to its right to mint money, but it is not unacceptable to be able to keep 25%. In Shen Bi's heart, he always believed that after China takes back Xiangjiang HSBC may not be able to maintain the right to mint money.

Bao Zixuan knew that Shen Bi could not be killed with a stick, let alone HSBC; it was good to have such a result now. Although I was reluctant, there was nothing I could do. As long as the British manage the people of Xiangjiang for a day, HSBC will be fine, even if they make big mistakes.

This is also the reason why Shen Bi and others dare to risk the world. They are confident; but they are obviously unwilling to let Shen Bi go like this. It suddenly occurred to them that HSBC still has so many dollars, which they can use.

Bao Zixuan: "Your Majesty the Governor, judging from the current situation, there is no direct evidence that Shen Bi was involved in this matter. But it is not very reasonable for a senior manager of HSBC Bank to not know about this matter. After all, 58 branches around the world are involved. If Shen Bi was not involved, so it was Pu Weishi who did it without telling Shen Bi."

"Since Taipan Shen Bi knows nothing, I hope the Hong Kong government will investigate Puves. In addition, according to the data, HSBC now has more than 20 billion US dollars in currency collateral. Can it be used for some purpose? Of course we We have no right to ask HSBC to do this, but we don’t know if the people of Hong Kong will have a bad impression of HSBC after getting the news.”

I heard that Bao Zixuan was obviously digging a hole for HSBC, and the US dollars provided by Morgan Bank were loan collateral. Once it is used, the international reputation of HSBC will be seriously affected. Morgan Bank is not a simple player; but Shen Bi also knows that there is no reasonable reason to refuse at the moment.

He could only postpone it for a while, so he said: "I have to go back and investigate this. It is just like Bao Sheng said that HSBC will never tolerate anyone. If there is really a large amount of US dollars deposited in HSBC, we must find a way to let them Investing in the Hong Kong dollar exchange market will not let the money go moldy in the HSBC vault."

Bao Zixuan just wanted to sow discord between Shen Bi and Puwei Shi. If he couldn't deal with Shen Bi this time, he would also destroy Puwei Shi, the future boss. It's not that easy for HSBC to cultivate a successor. Moreover, Shen Bi's prestige in HSBC will be greatly reduced if his subordinates are blamed.

Governor Youde said: "First take control of Pu Weishi and Mo Keyuan, and arrange for the Independent Commission Against Corruption to investigate them both."

After hearing this, everyone felt that Youde was serious. After all, the Independent Commission Against Corruption is the most authoritative investigation agency in Hong Kong and rarely investigates non-public service personnel.

The Hong Kong Independent Commission Against Corruption, formerly known as the "Institute of the Governor-General's Independent Commission Against Corruption", was established on February 17, 1974. It is an independent anti-corruption agency separated from all government agencies.

The staff of the Independent Commission Against Corruption are not affiliated with the government civil service structure. Its head, the Integrity Commissioner, is directly responsible to the supreme head of the government and only to him. It handles all anti-corruption work independently in Hong Kong in accordance with the Hong Kong Basic Law. To effectively expose, investigate and combat corruption. The initial targets of its investigation were civil servants, and then expanded to public institutions, and then included all private institutions.

Since its establishment, the Independent Commission Against Corruption has been using a three-pronged approach of law enforcement, prevention and education to combat corruption. It is committed to safeguarding fairness, justice, stability and prosperity in Hong Kong. It has won widespread support from the Hong Kong government and the general public, and has also made Hong Kong the most corrupt organization in the world. one of the places.

Bao Zixuan knew that this was a rare time for Youde to be tough. As a diplomat, he had grown up with each other. It is very rare to ask the Independent Commission Against Corruption to investigate HSBC now. It seems that HSBC is having a hard time, but I don't know how Shen Bi will deal with it.

Although he was unwilling, Shen Bi also knew that there was nothing he could do. Pu Wei Shi could only take the lead, but he had never cared about Mo Keyuan.

Shen Bi: "Now that the Governor has decided, HSBC will fully cooperate. Anywhere at HSBC will be open to investigators, including my office."

"But Mr. Bao, I hope the video materials will not be spread before the truth comes to light. HSBC's reputation cannot be tarnished by anyone. The worst is possible."

Hearing that Shen Bi still dares to threaten him, I really don't know where his courage comes from. Bao Zixuan said with a smile: "Shen Daban should wipe the shit from under his butt first, I'm not that anxious yet. It depends on what HSBC and you, Shen Bi, do next. Whether the video will be played or not depends on HSBC's attitude, of course. Including whether you, Shen Bi, really want to recover the losses."

Shen Bi was very angry when he heard that Bao Zixuan was so unpleasant, but this time he chose to tolerate it.

Shen Bi: "HSBC will definitely satisfy everyone with its punishment of those who cheated. We will not let go of any HSBC employee who harms the interests of Xiangjiang. At the same time, I also have leadership responsibilities and will give everyone an explanation after the matter is completely resolved." "

"The question now is how to deal with the crisis of the Hong Kong dollar's continuous depreciation. We need a large amount of foreign exchange to buy back the Hong Kong dollar. Only in this way will Hong Kong's economy not collapse, otherwise everyone will suffer heavy losses."

"In order to make up for its mistakes, HSBC will definitely mobilize the foreign exchange reserves of all branches around the world to absorb Hong Kong dollars, but a bank's ability to force is limited after all. I hope everyone can believe in HSBC once; believe in the Hong Kong government once; and also believe in ourselves once; we can only be united as one Only then can we defeat powerful enemies.”

It can be said that Shen Bi is definitely a master. Not only did he remove himself, but he also brought the topic back to the Hong Kong dollar credit system.
