Reborn Tycoon Rise

Time flies so fast, a month flies by in an instant.

The Bank of East Asia has also developed extremely rapidly. With the support of abundant funds, more than 20 bank branches have been opened in some commercial core areas on Hong Kong Island and Kowloon.

Through a series of advertising campaigns and cooperation with internal companies and affiliated companies, the bank's internal deposits soon reached the breaking point of tens of billions of Hong Kong dollars.

With the increase in deposit funds, it has become inevitable for Bank of East Asia to seek cooperation with large companies. Otherwise, it will simply not be able to lend so much money in a short period of time with only some small customers. The longer it is kept at home, the higher the deposit interest will be. The greater the loss.

The headquarters of the Bank of East Asia is temporarily located in Hutchison Building, which will make it easier for various companies to communicate internally. Although it is a bit crowded, it can be dealt with for the time being.

"Xu Sheng, there is something I need to report to you." In the office on the top floor of Hutchison Building, Yuan Tianfan reported on the development of the bank during this period.

Xu Zhi asked: "What's the matter?"

"Following your instructions, I have cleared out all the loan contracts within the bank that are related to the Jiani Group. However, this morning, the Secretariat received a call. Bao Fuda from the Land Group and Chen Songqing from Jiani intend to contact us. The bank is seeking a huge loan." Yuan Tianfanhui reported: "Because it involves the Land Group and the loan amount is huge, I can't make the decision. How should Xu Sheng handle this matter?"

"The Land Group." Xu Zhi frowned and pondered. In Hong Kong, the investment in large-scale real estate projects is very large, often billions of Hong Kong dollars. Even if bank leverage can be used, the capital requirements are still too high, so many consortiums will join forces Get up and work on a project.

Doing so can not only reduce the demand for funds, but also reduce risks. At the same time, strong forces can join forces and coordinate with each other in terms of resources, which is also very convenient when financing from banks.

Land and Carin are an established British company and an "emerging Chinese company", so it is normal for the two to join forces.

"Have they ever said what kind of project it is? How much money do they need to borrow?" Xu Zhi then asked. If it was just the Jia Ning Group that came to borrow money, he would not lend out a single copper coin, but now that the land is added, it is different. .

"No, Bao Fuda didn't say anything very specific. He asked to meet with you in person to discuss it in detail." Yuan Tianfan said helplessly. Although he is currently the president of a bank with assets exceeding 10 billion Hong Kong dollars, he is an unattainable figure for some small companies. The presence. However, in front of some real tycoons, he still can't get on the stage. After all, he can't make the decision on large investments in the bank.

Xu Zhi nodded and said, "Okay, let's make an appointment. I'd like to see what they do together."

…

No. 2 Queen's Road, Central, Hong Kong:

This is one of the most famous hotels in Xiangjiang: Hilton Hotel. Developed in the late 1950s and officially opened in 1961, it has 26 floors and a total of 750 guest rooms. It has always been one of the few high-end hotels in Hong Kong.

Its owner, Hutchison Whampoa, signed a 50-year management agreement with the Hilton Group in the 1950s.

In later generations, there was no Hilton Hotel in Xiangjiang City. That was because in 1994, Hutchison Whampoa terminated the contract early for a price of HK$125 million, then closed the hotel, demolished it, and built the headquarters of the Yangtze River Group in later generations. ——Changjiang Group Center Building!

Although Hutchison Whampoa Group has been consolidating its property assets, the Hilton Hotel Building is located in a prime location and has no plans to dispose of it in the short term. As for whether it will follow Comrade Li's example in demolishing and building a building in the future? It depends on future development needs.

"Please take a seat, both of you!" Xu Zhi smiled and received Bao Fuda and Chen Songqing in an elegant single room.

Compared to Bao Fuda, Chen Songqing was obviously more enthusiastic and said with a smile: "Xu Sheng has been extremely chic during this period. He has continuously acquired many large companies internationally, which has brought a lot of honor to the people of Xiangjiang!"

"No, Chen Sheng is currently a popular person in the Xiangjiang stock market!" Xu Zhi also followed each other and praised each other, anyway, you can do whatever you want.

"Haha..." Chen Songqing smiled. The stock price of his company has doubled several times in the past year, and it has long been the target of countless investors. Now his words can trigger hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars in the entire stock market. Volatility has caused countless people to make a fortune or go bankrupt. He likes this feeling very much.

The waiter quickly served the food and wine, and Bao Fuda asked: "Xu Sheng, the two of us invited you out today. There is a project that we hope we can work on together?"

Xu Zhi took a sip of tea and asked, "What project?"

Bao Fuda said: "Does Mr. Xu know about the development project of the old wing of Miramar Hotel?"

"Of course I know." Xu Zhi nodded and said. Miramar Hotel is one of the most famous hotels in Hong Kong. It is located opposite Kowloon Park. Its chairman, Yang Zhiyun, is the most famous Chinese hotel tycoon in Hong Kong.

In the 1960s, when the Kowloon Peninsula was still a poor place, Yang Zhiyun used HK$10,000 as a deposit and later obtained a loan from Hang Seng Bank to buy the current Miramar Hotel. After 20 years of development, it has become one of the three blue-chip hotels in the Hong Kong Hang Seng Index. It is the only Chinese-owned hotel in China with 1,300 rooms, twice as many as Hilton.

But the most amazing thing is that the hotel and the large green land next to it are in a prime location on the Kowloon Peninsula. It is a delicacy in the eyes of all real estate developers.

Bao Fuda said: "We Land and Carnegie Group are planning to jointly acquire the entire Miramar Hotel, then demolish the hotel and build a high-end commercial building.

Xu Sheng also knows that the land is huge and there are many competitors. At the same time, the subsequent demolition and reconstruction will also require a lot of funds. At present, Xu Sheng's Bank of East Asia has abundant capital, so he hopes that Xu Sheng can provide some help in financing. . "

Xu Zhi asked: "Approximately how much capital do you need?"

Bao Fuda said: "According to the current land price, if you want to buy the Miramar Hotel, you will need at least 2 billion Hong Kong dollars, and the subsequent reconstruction project should not be less than 1 billion."

"3 billion!" Xu Zhi smiled and asked, "Why don't you go to HSBC, Hang Seng or Standard Chartered?"

Chen Songqing took the words and said: "Originally we were planning to cooperate with HSBC, but I heard that the business of Xu Sheng's new bank is very prosperous, and people are queuing up to make deposits. I think Xu Sheng must be in urgent need of lending funds now. , so here we come!”

"Chen Sheng is really powerful." Xu Zhi smiled and said, "I can agree to the loan, but what do you two use as collateral?"
