Reborn Tycoon Rise

Niubijian thought for a while and said: "Xu Sheng, you don't understand Shen Bi's rights at HSBC at all. Even if the problems you mentioned come true, it may not be true that HSBC really lost more than a billion because of this matter. Shen Bi can move.

I can question Shen Bi on the board of directors and ask him to explain these things reasonably, but I guess he must have been prepared. As for impeachment, that is impossible. This will only increase the conflicts between Jardine and HSBC. "

Xu Zhi nodded and said, "It doesn't matter. I don't expect to be able to do anything to Shen Bi just based on this problem. If it can cause a little trouble, that's enough."

Newbijian smiled and said: "I can do this, but Xu Sheng, why should I do this?"

Xu Zhidao: "Then I wonder what I can do for Yihe?"

Niubijian smiled softly and said: "Bao Fuda will contact Xu Sheng!"

"No problem!" Xu Zhi nodded and agreed. Niubijian's scheming is indeed good, leaving all risky things to Bao Fuda...

…

On October 3, a piece of news that shocked Hong Kong was revealed by Oriental Daily. More than ten HSBC shareholders jointly reported to the Independent Commission Against Corruption against HSBC executive Shen Bi, accusing him of disregarding the interests of the company and buying the company at a clearly higher purchase price. Hutchison Whampoa was still sold to Li Ka-shing, who offered a lower price.

No matter how high Shen Bi's status is in Hong Kong, the Independent Commission Against Corruption reports directly to the Governor of Hong Kong. No other official or business tycoon can influence the Independent Commission Against Corruption, at least not on the surface!

After Oriental Daily broke the heavy news, countless reporters rushed to interview ICAC officials. After all, they were reported by many people with real names, and the contents of the reports were well-founded. Faced with the questioning of countless reporters, ICAC officials could only reply: "This matter is under investigation!"

HSBC's Taipan was investigated. This was big news. Countless media reported the matter in large sections as if they had been splashed with chicken blood. Affected by this, the stock prices of HSBC and Cheung Kong Holdings plummeted!

In the HSBC office, Shen Bi looked at the various newspapers in front of him without showing an angry expression. He asked the assistant next to him: "Have the people who reported the report been investigated?"

The assistant replied: "We found out that these people are ordinary office workers in Xiangjiang. Half a year ago, they started buying HSBC stocks in large quantities with funds from unknown sources. Their families had already left before reporting them with their real names." It all looks like a conspiracy."

Shen Bi shook his head and smiled: "It's not a conspiracy, it's an outright plan. It's just how did he know that I was planning to sell Hutchison Whampoa shares to Li Jiacheng at a low price? No more than 5 people in HSBC knew about this before it was made public."

The assistant asked: "Could it be that someone at Cheung Kong Industries leaked the information?"

Shen Bi shook his head and said: "Probably not. Li Jiacheng is very cautious about this matter. Before we determine all the details, he is the only one who knows about the entire Yangtze River Industry. But now it seems that the layout against us has been planned a long time ago." here we go!"

The assistant asked: "People from the ICAC have been here before, but I tried to prevaricate them by saying that you were in a meeting, but procrastinating is not an option. How about you contact the Hong Kong Governor?"

"No!" Shen Bi shook his head: "Now the entire Hong Kong media is staring at this matter. Even if I can convince the Hong Kong Governor, if he directly issues the order, it will become a joke of Hong Kong's legal system! In fact, we are not afraid of the shadow of our integrity. It's okay to be investigated.

Moreover, Newbikin, together with Swire Pacific and Kadoorie, came together to ask why HSBC illegally over-lent to Li Jiacheng and now wants me to take back the loan. What a bunch of clowns. "

"Ding ding..." The phone rang, and the assistant walked over and answered: "Um... yes... I understand!"

Hearing that the assistant's voice when answering the phone was not right, Shen Bi asked after the assistant hung up the phone, "What's wrong?"

The assistant replied: "Evergrande Group has just announced that they already hold more than 16.7% of the shares of Cheung Kong Holdings, and will acquire the shares of Cheung Kong Holdings for HK$10 per share until the acquisition reaches 49.9%!"

"10 Hong Kong dollars?" Shen Bi frowned: "This is almost double the current price of Yangtze River Holdings' stocks!"

The assistant said: "Yes, all cash purchases. Anyone who holds the stock can get a check from Standard Chartered Bank. Many people have already lined up to sell the stock!"

"Acquire Cheung Kong Holdings at this point!" Shen Bi smiled softly: "So, his purpose is to drain Li Jiacheng's funds. In order to prevent me from further funding Li Jiacheng, he used the Independent Commission Against Corruption to contain HSBC! "

The assistant said: "Then what should we do now?"

Shen Bi smiled and said: "These people think that this method can make HSBC retreat. They are so naive. You should contact Li Jiacheng to see what he will do next. If you still need funds, continue to lend he."

The assistant nodded and replied: "I understand!"

"Wait." Shen Bi stopped the assistant who was about to leave and said, "It's not an option to let the two of them continue to fight like this. Please help me make an appointment with Bao Yugang. I want to talk to him..."

…

"Haha, how come Mr. Bao has time to come to my place for tea?" Xu Zhi walked to the door of the office and greeted Bao Yugang.

Bao Yugang smiled and said: "Xu Sheng, you have turned the whole Xiangjiang upside down recently. I'm afraid you don't have time to see me, an old man?"

"Please take a seat." Xu Zhi greeted: "It's nothing. In fact, it was just a normal business layout. It was just that I unexpectedly but accidentally thought of it and bumped into each other with Li Jiacheng, which led to the current situation!"

"Then it can only be said that you two have unique vision and have selected the same high-quality asset!" Bao Yugang smiled and said: "Xu Sheng, I will open the sky and speak frankly. You and Li Sheng are both among us Chinese. Among the top figures in the business world, Hong Kong in the future will definitely belong to a group of you. Now we are fighting among ourselves for the sake of Hutchison Whampoa. This is not the best choice!"

Xu Zhi said: "Yes. Could it be that Mr. Bao is preparing to persuade Li Jiacheng to give up Hutchison Whampoa on my behalf?"

"Hmm..." Bao Yugang hesitated for a while, and then said after a while: "Xu Sheng, I know it's very unkind of me to do this, but I still hope you can give up the acquisition of Hutchison Whampoa. There are many high-quality British capital in Xiangjiang. Why do you two have to hang on this tree?"

"Why didn't Mr. Bao tell Li Jiacheng the same thing?" Xu Zhi asked lightly.

Bao Yugang said: "Sheng Xu, Li Jiacheng once transferred Wharf shares to me, so I owe him a favor. And I can tell you that at that time, Li Jiacheng asked me to help acquire Hutchison Whampoa from HSBC." It’s been more than a year since I started selling stocks, so it should have been earlier than Xu Sheng’s plan for Hutchison Whampoa, right?”

Xu Zhi said: "Should Li Jiacheng acquire it earlier, others should give up?"

Bao Yugang said: "Although that is not the case, we Chinese should now focus on driving out the British capital, and naturally we should not start this kind of conflict!

And my visit this time was actually entrusted by HSBC Shen Bi. There is actually no right or wrong in this matter. Everyone is doing it for their own development. Shen Bi hopes that everyone will take a step back from the conflicts and misunderstandings caused! "

Xu Zhi asked: "How can we each take a step back?"

Bao Yugang smiled and said: "Xu Sheng, Li Jiacheng may not make money as fast as you, but his ability to run the company is ranked among the best in the whole of Hong Kong. What do you think?"

"Yes, I admit it!" Xu Zhi said it directly. From starting from scratch to becoming the richest man in China for more than ten years, he also made huge fortunes through several real estate crises. Whether it is vision or ability, he far surpasses most businessmen. .

Bao Yugang smiled and said: "Shen Bi and I discussed it, and we came up with a compromise plan. Xu Sheng, you can choose to hold 20% of the shares of Cheung Kong Holdings and Hutchison Whampoa, and serve as a director at the same time. How about leaving Whampoa to Li Jiacheng to run it, and you can just sit back and enjoy the benefits?"

"Good plan." Xu Zhi smiled and said, "But I don't agree!"
