Reborn Xiangjiang Tycoon Growth

Governor Youde was not in a particularly good mood when he came out. The good mood after the exchange with Bao Zixuan was ruined a lot by Shen Bi. But today's banquet was organized by him, and he had to greet every guest with a smile no matter what. After all, there will be another party later. Ask for them.

While Bao Zixuan was chatting with Huo Yingdong's people, they were still in the same room where he had just chatted with Bao Shaofu. Governor Youde and Shen Bi started chatting, and the topic was also about the issue of war bonds.

After inviting Shen Bi to sit down, Youde began to communicate with him in earnest. Youde, who had been an official for many years, knew that although he was the governor, he had just come to Xiangjiang, so it could be said that he was not familiar with the place. Shen Bi was completely opposite to him. This person has been in Xiangjiang for many years, has deep-rooted connections, and has much more energy than I imagined.

Although HSBC's status has declined compared with its previous life due to the rise of Heiyun Group, it still exists as a quasi-central bank in Hong Kong. It can make a lot of money from investments and loans alone, but sometimes it is not necessarily the case. Give the Governor face, especially when it harms the core interests of HSBC.

Youde smiled and said: "Thank you Mr. Shen Bi for coming to the Governor's Mansion. What do you think of the current situation?"

Shen Bi was not happy with some people's condescending attitude. Although Youde felt that he had lowered his attitude; it might be more of a psychological effect. At this time, Governor Youde really didn't look aloof at all. What he couldn't stand the most It was Youde, an old boy, who actually invited Bao Zixuan in first, and he had to be ranked after Bao Zixuan, which made him very unhappy.

So what if Heiyun Group ranks first in Xiangjiang? HSBC controls the economic lifeline of Xiangjiang. Now that the government wants to issue war bonds, Youde didn't come first to invite him, the God of Wealth, but instead treated Bao Zixuan, a brat like Corporal Li Xian, This made Shen Bi feel very uncomfortable.

Many people think that although Heiyun may have greater economic strength, the people in Xiangjiang know that. They can live without Heiyun, but they cannot do without HSBC. This leads many people to believe that HSBC is still the most influential in Hong Kong. of companies, Heiyun still ranks behind him.

At this time, Shen Bi already had an idea in his mind. He must give Youde a show of strength. Let him know who he needs to look up to in Xiangjiang. Don't think that just because he is the governor, he can control everything.

Shen Bi smiled and said: "Didn't His Excellency the Governor already find Bao Zixuan to solve the problem? I believe that Heiyun's strength will be able to easily solve the current predicament in Xiangjiang."

Youde: "Mr. Shen Bi is joking. Hong Kong is not just a Black Cloud Group. It is not just Bao Zixuan's Hong Kong. What's more, now it is raising war funds for the British Empire. As the largest bank in Hong Kong, HSBC should have something to say. !”

Shen Bi: "Your Excellency, Governor, it should be very good to communicate with Bao Zixuan! I think this bond is nothing to the Heiyun Group, and it won't be a problem to just let him cover it all."

It stands to reason that Shen Bi would not say this, after all, this is not what a banker should say. But today, I don't know which string is wrong, but Youde and Bao Zixuan are unhappy.

Youde was a little angry when Shen Bi said this. This was to show that he was not the first to ask for his opinion. What is going on now? It is a moment that affects the future and destiny of the entire British Empire. Why are you still acting on impulse?

Yoder: "Mr. Shen Bi, now we are raising war funds for the empire. I am not looking for you personally, so you have to pay attention to your words."

Shen Bi also knew that what Gang Ang said was a bit excessive, but he couldn't show weakness to Youde now; otherwise, it would make others look down on him, and how would he be able to gain a foothold in Xiangjiang in the future? Who would take you seriously.

Shen Bi: "Governor Youde, you don't have to talk about the British Empire's war funds. Whether as a chief executive of HSBC Bank or as a veteran soldier who has fought for the Empire, I believe no one is more patriotic than me. Imperial War HSBC has a duty to raise funds and will not lag behind. You should also care about other companies and people!"

Youde: "So Mr. Shen Bi is preparing to purchase war bonds on behalf of HSBC. I don't know how much HSBC is prepared to purchase."

In fact, Shen Bi is still dissatisfied because London did not underwrite the war bonds to HSBC, but directly handed them over to the Governor's Office for sales. This is one of the reasons why he is in a bad state today. Not only him, but also other directors of HSBC. None of them are very satisfied. This is contempt for HSBC, and it is also a manifestation of distrust of HSBC. Everyone believes that although the country may suffer heavy losses in the war with Argentina, if it is run well, banks or companies can indeed make a lot of money. Bonds are an opportunity to make money.

It would be good if the war bonds could not lose money in the hands of Governor Youde. It can be said that Shen Bi's judgment was very accurate.

Shen Bi: "I know that this time the London Central Bank is planning to release 5 billion pounds of war bonds in the Xiangjiang area. I am purchasing 250 million pounds on behalf of HSBC. HSBC will never stand idly by when the British Empire encounters difficulties."

"To be honest, if HSBC had been the underwriter of these bonds, they would have been sold out long ago. There wouldn't even be a so-called banquet. This could be done with just a phone call."

Hearing Shen Bi's arrogant answer, combined with his stinginess and caution when buying bonds, Youde suddenly laughed. At this time, he didn't know how to describe Shen Bi. It stands to reason that he can work in the HSBC executive position for so long. It shouldn't be at this level. Could it be that the one who came here today is a substitute, but it doesn't look like it!

Youde: "Mr. Shen Bi may not know yet! Just now, it was also in this room that Bao Zixuan purchased 10 pounds of war bonds on behalf of Heiyun Group. Now HSBC is only equivalent to a quarter of Heiyun's purchase. Don’t you think you yourself are looking down on HSBC?”

"We are both citizens of the British Empire, and this is a time of war. We must be united in dealing with the outside world. Now you know why London did not hand over the bond underwriting work to HSBC! That is because of the conflict between HSBC and Bao Zixuan. Do you think if It is underwritten by HSBC, will Heiyun Group buy a penny?"

"You should think more about what you did in Xiangjiang, otherwise why would everyone hate you so much. Today is different from the past, and the British Empire may really lose its right to rule Xiangjiang. Now while we still have the final say, more Strive for some benefits for the empire and don’t always think about fighting among yourself.”

Although what Juede Youde said made some sense, Shen Bi still felt unhappy. After all, Bao Zixuan was the boss, he was just a senior wage earner, and many things were decided by the board of directors. For example, the amount of war bonds purchased this time.

Being bankers, of course they know the credibility and financial situation of the British government, and they all know that this money will basically be wasted.

Now that he heard that Bao Zixuan alone purchased 1 billion pounds of war bonds, Shen Bi was happy but also a little worried. It seems that the strength of Heiyun Group is getting stronger and stronger, while HSBC is still surrounding Hong Kong. As land is being allocated, it is time for companies to go global.

Shen Bi: "Since Bao Zixuan is so generous, you can just go to him. If necessary, HSBC will transfer the money for bond purchase to the account of the Governor's Mansion at any time. If it is not needed, forget it."

After saying that, he left without looking back. It can be said that he did not give the governor any face during the whole process.

After Shen Bi returned to the hall and saw Pu Wei Shi, they nodded to each other. It can be said that Shen Bi's performance in the study room was all fake. How could he be like this at his level?

They got the news when Britain was preparing to issue 5 billion pounds of war bonds to Hong Kong, and they all knew that this was not a good thing. The wealthy people in Hong Kong may not be able to buy it, and 5 billion is not a small amount.

This may be a hot potato, but it may also be an opportunity to make a fortune, depending on how you look at this issue.

Knowing that HSBC would be the focus of attention, that's why Shen Bi's performance in the study room of the Governor's Mansion just made Youde feel that selling bonds is very simple. In Shen Bi's view, bonds packaged by HSBC may make money, but Youde Deke does not have such economic acumen.

At this time, Shen Bi's mentality was that he wanted to become an underwriter of war bonds, but he couldn't buy it himself. To put it bluntly, he wanted to be a banker, and if he bought it himself, most of the money would be in his hands.

However, this problem does not arise with underwriting. If it cannot be sold, it can be returned to the British government. There are a thousand reasons for how to return it. If you buy it directly now, it will be very difficult to withdraw the money.

Doing too much is no different from treason, so no one wants to take this risk. It can be said that everything is a routine, a routine that does not want to pay for, and it is a pity not to award Shen Bi a trophy.
