Reborn Xiangjiang Tycoon Growth

After Shen Bi saw the newspaper, he knew that things were going to be bad. HSBC only wanted to clean up its bad teeth and did not pay much attention to media and public relations. They believed that this was Hong Kong, and no company or newspaper would dare to offend HSBC; otherwise, they would not be able to get a loan.

However, Xiangjiang newspapers are special entities. The Ma family's original purpose of opening the newspaper, Oriental Daily, was to launder money. There is already too much money and no place to spend it, so how can they still need a loan from HSBC.

As for Sing Tao Daily, there is no need for funds at all. Hu Wenhu left a rich legacy to his daughter. Mr. Jin Yong’s Ming Pao also has no needs for funds. It can’t spend all the money just to buy the copyright every year. Other tabloids are fighting with the tabloids. Banks are cooperating, but HSBC has almost no cooperation with Xiangjiang Newspaper. This is something that has been ignored before. Almost all of HSBC's most important customers come from real estate companies. This is also a very dangerous thing.

It is not shown at ordinary times, but all reports are leaked at critical moments. Now HSBC is also facing a serious crisis in public relations, and may offend its largest customer. Although HSBC does not lack customers, it is afraid of causing chain reactions. Once customers express their disapproval of HSBC Losing trust will be absolutely devastating to the banking industry where credibility is paramount.

In fact, every time the HSBC New Year Banquet is held, many big-name figures don’t really want to come, and some even think that it is pointless to come. It’s just because Shen Bi doesn’t have the face to refuse, and today there was another club member openly teasing a girl at the banquet. actor.

After being rejected, he intensified his threats, and finally took out a knife. What's more, he injured Bao Zixuan, the richest man in Hong Kong, which shows how high the level of HSBC's banquets has reached.

Shen Bi knew that failure to handle this matter would have a serious impact on HSBC's reputation. He also knew that Bao Yugang was coming to attend Mrs. Dong Haoyun's 66th birthday.

As the first Chinese director of HSBC, Bao Yugang has a deep friendship with Shen Bi. Coupled with his influence in Hong Kong, he is a perfect candidate to be a lobbyist. Shen Bi hopes that Bao Yugang and Bao Zixuan will have a good exchange. Don't take your anger out on HSBC. Shen Bi can make up for this elsewhere.

Shen Bi kept his attitude very low this time and went directly to Bao Yugang's office. Although Bao Yugang has been the richest man in Hong Kong for many years, the assets he controls are really not enough in front of HSBC. Most of the time they meet, Shen Bi In the office or at home, Shen Bi, as a senior manager, is better than the big boss Bao Yugang. This is the strength and status of HSBC in Hong Kong.

Bao Yugang said to Shen Bi: "How come Shen Sheng has time to come to my place today!"

Shen Bi: "You were present at Bao Sheng's HSBC banquet yesterday, and you saw Bao Zixuan's injury. There is no need to hide it between you and me. Now all the media in Hong Kong have reported unfavorable news about HSBC. I hope you can talk to Bao Zixuan." Let’s have a good chat. Although we are Oxford alumni, we have only met once or twice, and we are not very familiar with each other.”

"I know you are all going to Dong's house for a banquet today, and I hope you can express HSBC's goodwill through you."

Bao Yugang knew that Shen Bi would be up to no good when he came. He usually didn't invite him to his office. Why did he suddenly come to kill him today? It turned out that he was asked to be a lobbyist, but he and Bao Zixuan were not very familiar with each other. .If it is not good to offend the other party rashly because of this matter, what on earth should you do?

However, Shen Bi's request was difficult to refuse. He and HSBC had a deep cooperative relationship. Now Bao Yugang could not offend Shen Bi at all, because the sudden rise of Heiyun Group had driven the entire Dong family's shipping business. Bao Yugang The business of the steel fleet is even worse than this period in the previous life. It was a cold winter for shipping, and a large number of customers were lost.

Let the charter king have the idea of ​​​​abandoning the ship and landing in advance. If the plan is implemented, the demand for funds will increase significantly, and the help of HSBC will be needed. It is difficult to acquire a controlling stake in a large real estate company with its own funds alone.

Bao Yugang: "Shen Sheng, Bao Zixuan hasn't expressed his opinion on what happened yesterday. Do you want HSBC to post this in a hurry?"

Shen Bi knew that Bao Yugang didn't really want to be a lobbyist. After all, it was a thankless job. He wouldn't want to do it himself, but he wouldn't let our Mr. Ship King get his wish.

Shen Bi: "Sheng Bao, it's because you didn't say anything right now that HSBC decided to resolve the matter as soon as possible. If Bao Zixuan had brought it up himself, then HSBC would have to pay more due to his strength."

Knowing that he could not escape, Bao Yugang said: "Whatever HSBC can give, I will try my best."

Shen Bi: "HSBC can provide low-interest loans, with a limit of less than 2 billion Hong Kong dollars. In addition, it will also provide Heiyun Group with a reduction or exemption in terms of exchange and remittance fees."

Bao Yugang knew that Heiyun Group had a huge amount of exchange and turnover at HSBC, which would cause HSBC to lose a lot. In addition to the low-interest loan of 2 billion Hong Kong dollars, it seemed that HSBC was very sincere. But he was also worried that Bao Zixuan would not be able to Buy it, after all, this guy is the most money-hungry person in Xiangjiang.

Bao Yugang: "I'll give it a try! But I can't guarantee that Bao Zixuan will give me face. Our relationship is not good enough for him to make changes for me."

Shen Bi: "Then thank you for your hard work, Bao Sheng. I won't blame you whether the negotiation succeeds or not. It's just to let Bao Zixuan know our goodwill at HSBC. Let him see that we at HSBC do not avoid problems and are still active after what happened." solve."

Bao Yugang: "But Shen Sheng, there are some things I have always wanted to say. If it weren't for your sake, I really don't want to attend the HSBC banquet. The level is really too low now. Gangsters, social butterflies and other people from all walks of life only need a little money. Anyone who puts it in HSBC can come in."

"I'm not saying that we are superior to others, but the security measures are still so poor. Now I heard some complaints from several big guys. I didn't want to participate in the first place, but now I have made excuses."

In fact, Shen Bi has noticed the problem a long time ago, but once the door is opened, it is a little difficult to close it. If you invite people over this year, you will be embarrassed not to send invitations next year. Everyone has to face it. If you really do this, then You will definitely lose a customer.

Although HSBC is the quasi-central bank of Hong Kong, it has a transcendent status. However, there are also many small and medium-sized banks competing with them. In Hong Kong, it is impossible to cover the sky with one hand and the impact must be taken into consideration.

Shen Bi: "Thank you, Mr. Bao, for reminding me. We must pay attention to it in the future. I couldn't help myself before, and it was difficult to go back to the past after letting go of many things. But now I can sort it out through this incident. Otherwise, what else would HSBC have?" Lead other banks in Hong Kong forward."

Bao Yugang: "Shen Sheng is an expert in bank operations. I can't comment on anything. Since you have an idea, that's all."

Shen Bi drank tea in Bao Yugang's office for a while before leaving. He was in a good mood when he left. However, this time it was Bao Yugang's turn to have a headache. He was wondering how to discuss this issue with Bao Zixuan.

Because of this incident, the media has made all kinds of comments about Bao Zixuan. It can be said that the reputation has been seriously damaged. For the richest man in Hong Kong, reputation is much more important than money. If the money is gone, you can make more money. If the reputation is ruined, it is very difficult to restore it. difficult.

Bao Yugang thought about it for a long time, but there was no good way. He thought that when he saw Bao Zixuan, he could only tell the truth and show HSBC's goodwill and attitude in handling problems first! Then he could only resort to tricks. This has been going on for so many years. It's relatively troubling.

Bao Zixuan stayed in the office all day, and the employees of Heiyun Group knew that their boss was injured at the HSBC banquet and did not dare to disturb him. He did not leave the company until about the end of the afternoon and drove towards the Dong family.
