Reborn Tycoon Rise

"Damn it!" As soon as Xu Zhi left, Shen Bi angrily pushed a pile of documents to the ground. The assistant next to him was also startled and stood there not knowing what to do.

"Dong dong dong..." There was a knock on the door, and HSBC General Manager Pu Weishi walked in, saw the documents lying around, and asked: "Chairman, what's going on?"

Shen Bi took a deep breath, looked at the assistant next to him who had been with him for more than ten years, and said, "Sorry, I lost my temper. Please tidy up and go out first."

The assistant quickly knelt down to pick up all the documents, sorted them and walked out.

Shen Bi said to Pu Weishi: "It's okay. I was holding my breath just now. It's just a little uncomfortable after a long time!"

Pu Weishi asked: "What happened? I heard that Xu Zhi from Evergrande came to our HSBC in person. Is it because of the Hutchison Whampoa incident?"

"It's not just that." Shen Bi shook his head and then briefly explained what had just happened.

After hearing this, Pu Weishi said: "So that's it, but I think the problem still lies with us at HSBC. What Xu Zhi said seems reasonable, but if you think about it carefully, it's still wrong. Although many people in the United States know that we want to acquire SITC, but this matter can be considered a secret. Who would tell Xu Zhi that HSBC is planning to acquire SITC?

Xu Zhi wanted to find out this kind of thing, but how did he know about it in the first place? "

Shen Bi frowned and said, "You mean someone within HSBC snitched on him?"

Pu Weishi said: "It's just possible. I'm just very surprised. After Xu Zhi publicly acquired Cheung Kong Holdings, Li Jiacheng also checked the transaction records of his company's stocks and found that there were many accounts secretly used as early as a year ago. Acquisition, and the same is true for Hutchison Whampoa, this shows that Xu Zhi has been planning this matter for a long time, and now that SITC has been acquired by him first, two important layouts of HSBC have been made by him in advance. This is by no means an accident!"

Shen Bi nodded and said: "It makes sense, but the people responsible for these two things are different people. Except for a few of us, no more than 5 people at HSBC know about these two things. Who would inform Xu Zhi secretly? You need to know Many years ago, he was just an ordinary rich man."

Puweishi said: "It may not necessarily be leaked by someone, maybe the information has been stolen. We are not sure yet. It is better for us to keep a low profile and investigate this matter."

"Okay, you are responsible for this matter." Shen Bi nodded.

Pu Weishi said: "What should we do now? Let Xu Zhi take such a huge advantage?"

"Fearless resistance has no meaning." Shen Bi looked outside and said: "Haifeng Bank is related to the internationalization of HSBC. Xu Zhi has seized our handle and is sure to defeat us HSBC. Since we have lost this round That means you lose and you have to pay the tuition this time.

In the future, maybe HSBC and him can become business partners, or maybe they are enemies. Let’s talk about the future later! "

Pu Weishi nodded and said: "It's just a pity about Hutchison Whampoa's shares."

"It's a pity that it's Li Jiacheng's fault." Shen Bi said: "Make an appointment with Li Jiacheng for me. I want to talk to him in person."

…

That afternoon, in the same office, Li Jiacheng hurried over.

"Li Sheng, the situation has changed now." Shen Bi said directly without much explanation.

Li Jiacheng asked: "What happened?"

Shen Bi said: "Xu Zhi has something in his hands that HSBC cannot refuse, and I have to reach an agreement with him."

"So, HSBC will no longer support me?" Li Jiacheng didn't change his expression at all, or even his tone, as if he was talking about a trivial matter.

Shen Bi shook his head and said: "No, on the contrary, HSBC will support you even more vigorously, but there is nothing we can do about Hutchison Whampoa!"

"Understood!" Li Jiacheng said without asking further: "Mr. Shen Bi, although HSBC no longer supports me, Hutchison is too important to Cheung Kong Holdings and I will not give up."

Shen Bi said: "Li Sheng, we have all underestimated our opponents. If you continue to follow, I am afraid you will suffer greater losses?"

Li Jiacheng asked: "What do you mean?"

Shen Bidao: "We always thought that what Xu Zhi relied on was the profits from electronic products and the US$250 million earned from movies. But currently, the other party's funds far exceed this amount, whether his funds are self-owned or foreign. Consortium assistance, or foreign bank loans, if you don't know the details of the other party's funds, are you sure you still want to fight with him?"

Li Jiacheng adjusted his black-rimmed glasses, frowned and said nothing.

Shen Bi continued: "According to my information, the funds that Xu Zhi can mobilize may be close to HK$3-4 billion, so he unscrupulously purchased the shares of Cheung Kong and Hutchison at high prices. The purpose of purchasing Cheung Kong Holdings at high prices was to force you to turn around your funds." It repurchased its own shares at a high price, while Hutchison Whampoa went all out to acquire the company.

Li Sheng, even if you can get enough funds from other channels, have you ever thought about how you will repay so much money in the future? Even if you can repay it, how long will it take to repay it? Opportunities are everywhere in Hong Kong now , but time waits for no one. You have wasted several years. Even if you get Hutchison, it may not be cost-effective. Not to mention that Xu Zhi is already the major shareholder of Hutchison and Yangtze River. If you don’t solve this problem now, I’m afraid things will get worse in the future. many. "

Li Jiacheng sighed and said, "I'm just unwilling!"

"I understand." Shen Bi said: "In terms of ability, you are actually far superior to Xu Zhi, but your funds are not as good as his, and he should have planned it a long time ago. Even HSBC has been calculated by him. If we were to attack unprepared, this battle would have been unfair."

Li Jiacheng said: "There has never been a fair statement in the shopping mall. The lion fighting the rabbit is the truth that can truly achieve success. If you lose, you lose. There is no explanation."

Shen Bi smiled and said: "Okay, this is the Li Jiacheng I know. This failure can be regarded as a reminder to you of the smooth sailing in the past 20 years. It also reminds me that you and I are both successes and failures. Also in Xiangjiang, we have achieved great success in Xiangjiang, but Xu Zhi’s company aims to be global, and after making global profits, it will return to Xiangjiang, and we failed in such a muddle.”

Li Jiacheng asked: "Mr. Shen Bi means that we should also leave Hong Kong?"

Shen Bi said: "HSBC already has a plan, and Cheung Kong Holdings can also consider this matter, but the most important thing at the moment is to sort out the equity dispute with Xu Zhi. You already have a problem with your capital turnover. Since you are ready to sell Hutchison Whampoa, you must Figure out how to make the most profit.”

Li Jiacheng nodded and said: "I understand, I have to think about this matter again."
