Another: I'm sorry that I couldn't fulfill my promise. Maybe it was because of the change of environment that the little guy couldn't adapt to it, and he was not honest all night, which made the whole family upset. It wasn't until the morning that I went to sleep honestly. I wrote intermittently until now. I've just finished a chapter. I'll check it out this afternoon. I plan to go out and find a place to try to finish another chapter.

"Actually, in my opinion, Ling Haozhong and the others are also looking forward to the entry of Guo's Shipping Group Company, right?" Su Aijun said with a smile. As a coastal city close to the capital, the importance of the port is naturally self-evident. of.

In particular, Su Aijun also knows that in recent times, in order to increase his weight in the management of Jingcheng Iron and Steel Group Company and to compete with Jincheng Port, Tangshan City has invested heavily in developing the port. However, developing the port is important, But how to operate and manage the port is undoubtedly more important.

Kuok Shipping Group Co., Ltd., which currently has one of the largest fleets in Asia, has achieved outstanding results in operating and managing ports, both in Hong Kong and domestic ports. Let’s talk about Tangshan City’s port management of Kuok Shipping Group Co., Ltd. Ability, and the huge fleet are not interested. No one will believe it.

Fang Mingyuan shook his head slightly and said: "They have mentioned it, but I haven't thought about it yet. How to do it." If Tangshan Port can be won, even part of it, it will be very important for the development of Guo's Shipping Group Company. It indeed has a huge promoting effect.

It is adjacent to the Beijing-Tianjin-Yancheng agglomeration, only 400 nautical miles away from South Korea, and less than 700 nautical miles away from Nagasaki, Japan. It can be said that the geographical location is quite advantageous. Moreover, in the future, this place will be a major consumer of imported oil and iron ore from China. .For Kuok Shipping Group Company, the importance here is self-evident.

But Fang Mingyuan also has some concerns about whether Guo's Shipping Group Company's takeover of Tangshan Port will have any negative impact. After all, it is too close to the capital. If there is any slight disturbance, the big guys in the capital will know about it.

"Mingyuan, a strategic partner of Bank of Communications. I heard that there were some mistakes?" Su Aijun asked again.

Fang Mingyuan burst into laughter, nodded and said: "HSBC Holdings Co., Ltd., the parent company of HSBC Bank in Hong Kong, is currently negotiating with us and wants us to help them obtain shares of Japan's Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Group. Uncle Su has good information. "

Although the epidemic in Beijing is still not completely under control, Richard Robert, president of HSBC Hong Kong, still went to the capital resolutely! Suo Zhanghong received his arrival in the capital.

"Vice President Suo, when will your bank's introduction of strategic partners be announced to me?" As soon as we met, Richard Robert got straight to the point. These days, he has been under a lot of pressure. He has already Got it. The Second Gulf Bank has blocked local HSBC banks in many places overseas. It has caused a lot of trouble to other HSBC banks. Although, so far, no senior HSBC bank in any country has What to complain about, but Robert could still feel the growing dissatisfaction in the voices of his colleagues.

Moreover, Robert also heard some news that Gulf Second Bank offered HSBC Holdings Co., Ltd., the parent company of HSBC Bank in Hong Kong, conditions to help them obtain shares of Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Group of Japan, although it did not mention that HSBC Holdings Co., Ltd. would take the shares.

What to exchange for, but Robert himself knew very well that the Second Gulf Bank was eyeing him and the strategic partner of Bank of Communications.

In the past few days, Suo Zhanghong has been under increasing pressure. Although Gu Yucheng and others could not push the Second Gulf Bank to the position of strategic partner of Bank of Communications in one fell swoop, they hindered Suo Zhanghong and others and delayed Bank of Communications' final decision.

decision, that is more than enough.

Although domestically, the Fang family has not made any big moves recently, and has not taken any measures against the Bank of Communications, this kind of calmness can sometimes make people feel even more frightened.

There is already a rumor circulating quietly in the Bank of Communications. Is it worth losing many corporate customers led by the Fang family to buy shares of HSBC Hong Kong? There is nothing wrong with the pilot reform, but choosing the wrong partner will have a negative impact on the Bank of Communications.

It is also a disaster for the future of banks.

Moreover, Suo Zhanghong also heard some rumors that senior executives of several other major banks in the country were actively contacting the Fang family. The purpose was obviously self-evident.

These banks were originally coveting the Fang family's business, but because the cooperation between the Fang family and the Bank of Communications had always been very pleasant, they were not given any opportunities at all. Now that they heard the news, they naturally would not let it go.

Let's take this opportunity. But the attitude of the Fang family is still unclear.

As a result, the senior executives who originally stood on Suo Zhanghong's side and supported HSBC Hong Kong's investment in Bank of Communications are now somewhat shaken. After all, the future of Bank of Communications is also related to their future career. The reason why they supported Suo Zhanghong before was because

This is because, firstly, HSBC Hong Kong does have this strength; secondly, they really believe that even if the Second Gulf Bank fails to be elected, with Gu Yucheng’s relationship, as long as they give some comfort, it will not affect the fundamental relationship between the two parties.

Thirdly, HSBC Hong Kong can bring them actual benefits. But now the trend of things has deviated from their original expectations, and they naturally worry about gains and losses.

"President Robert, there is a strong voice in the bank to choose Gulf Second Bank, and the conditions offered by your bank...what do you want us to do?" Suo Zhanghong said coldly. According to the share purchase draft reached between him and Robert, HSBC Hong Kong Bank

To acquire a stake in Bank of Communications, US$1.5 billion will be exchanged for 20% of the shares of Bank of Communications. Although this equity transfer price is higher than the net asset value per share of Bank of Communications, it is not much higher. Moreover, in the draft

In the draft, there is no requirement for the period for which HSBC Hong Kong will hold shares after it acquires shares in Bank of Communications. However, the draft proposed by Gulf Second Bank is to exchange US$8.8 billion for 20% of the shares of Bank of Communications, and also promises five years.

These shares will not be transferred within the period.

If it weren't for the long history of HSBC Hong Kong, its influence in the international financial industry is much greater than that of the Second Gulf Bank, and it has always led these banks in Hong Kong and even China in terms of management model and business philosophy. In fact, just based on these two,

The Second Gulf Bank will have a clear advantage.

"Vice President Suo, your country's banks have imperfect management structures, high non-performing loan ratios, low capital adequacy ratios, poor product innovation capabilities and many other problems that are unavoidable. After we get these shares, we will also

We will spend a lot of energy and time to help your bank solve these problems. And we will also help you list in Hong Kong and overseas. Which of these does not require huge financial support?" Robert said displeasedly. If it weren't for China

The monopoly threshold of the domestic financial industry, such as the major national banks, which are inefficient and often have to obey government orders, is not a good partner at all.

With a huge number of depositors, generous deposit and loan interest rates, and a monopoly position, it can be said that Huaxia Bank is basically in an invincible position. It is just a pig sitting in the position of president, as long as it does not lose its mind.

Random command can also ensure that huge profits will be recorded every year. With the capabilities of HSBC Holdings Co., Ltd., if China can completely liberalize the financial industry and receive sufficient financial support, within ten to fifteen years, Robert will have

Confidence in China to create a new bank whose annual net profit is no less than that of Bank of Communications.

"After Gulf Second Bank becomes a shareholder, it will also help us solve these problems and help us go public!" Suo Zhanghong said tit for tat.

"Vice President Suo, entering a university in your country is the same as entering Harvard University!" Robert said with disdain.

Suo Zhanghong stared at him for a long time, sighed lightly and said: "President Robert, if you must insist on what you have said, then I can only regret to say that there is nothing I can do about this matter."

Robert's eyebrows immediately stood up. In order to obtain the shares of Bank of Communications, the "work" done by HSBC Hong Kong in the early stage paid a heavy price.

"USD 1.7 billion, no transfer for three years." Robert said coldly.

"Not enough, at least it cannot be lower than the conditions offered by the Second Gulf Bank!" Suo Zhanghong shook his head.

Robert was so angry that he sneered. What does Suo Zhanghong think of himself? Is he being taken advantage of? In exchange for 20% of the shares of Bank of Communications, US$1.8 billion is already over 17% in terms of net assets.

If you hold it for more than five years, even HSBC Hong Kong cannot guarantee that you will be able to make a substantial profit from this transaction. And if you cannot make a substantial profit, why should you?

Should you choose Bank of Communications? Bank of Communications is just a pilot project of Hua Xia Bank. Presumably, several other banks will also introduce foreign capital in the near future.

"President Robert, you must not know that the higher-ups are currently considering the news that by the year after next, Beijing, Jincheng and Fengyuan will open their domestic currency business to foreign banks, right?" Suo Zhanghong crossed his arms on his chest and said, "And

There are only two or three foreign banks that are lucky enough to obtain this qualification."

Robert was startled, and then his eyes immediately lit up. Being allowed to operate RMB business in mainland China is something that foreign banks dream of. Prior to this, HSBC Bank in Hong Kong had been approved in six southern cities.

Very generous profits. And this time, the open capital of Jingcheng, Jincheng and Fengyuan are all core cities with rapid economic development in China! Robert can completely imagine that if they can win these three cities, the Hong Kong and Shanghai Banking Corporation in the mainland will

There will undoubtedly be a significant increase in performance!

Robert gritted his teeth and said: "Two billion US dollars, no transfer for five years! This is already my limit!"
