And now, I'm afraid that although Gu Yucheng's career in the Bank of Communications will be cut off in the future, Suo Zhanghong will definitely not have a good time.The angry leaders will reprimand him a hundred times, and he will not be relieved a hundred times.His future will be even more miserable than Gu Yucheng.

Gu Yucheng may also be transferred to other big state-owned banks, and he, Suo Zhanghong, may not even think about it, as long as he still wants to link up with the company under the Fang family.If you don't accept him, that's undoubtedly bringing hatred to your own bank.Just thinking about the series of famous company names, a fool would offend the Fang family for him.

Suo Zhanghong didn't want to offend the Fang family, let alone lose his future, so he could only seek help from others.

"Cough, we really need to seriously consider what Vice President Gu, Director Hu, and Director Liang said." The woman sitting next to Suo Zhanghong coughed, "The Fang family and our Bank of Communications are indeed It has been cooperation for many years. These companies under the Fang family are all high-quality customers of our business. If we do not handle this matter well, the loss of high-quality and large customers is indeed a huge loss for us. But. I think this issue has nothing to do with which bank we choose to become our strategic partner of the Bank of Communications today!" Gu Yucheng narrowed his eyes slightly and said nothing.

"Then Director Miao means..." Director Hu sneered, "If this happens, what should we do? We are a pilot bank, which means that after us, several other major banks will also do the same. We will carry out financial reforms and introduce strategic partners. If we say that we rejected the Second Gulf Bank, but other banks choose the Second Gulf Bank, then the loss of high-quality and large customers is inevitable. The same is true for the Second Gulf Bank Well-known banks have many overseas branches. In 130, they successively acquired Chong Hing Bank and Tung Lung Bank in Hong Kong at a price of HK$[-] billion, becoming the fifth largest bank in Hong Kong in one fell swoop. The influence of the Middle East is far greater than that of HSBC.”

"However, Director Hu, Gulf Second Bank can be said to have only three shareholders, and it is not listed. Compared with HSBC, I think HSBC's situation is more in line with its management model, business philosophy, and company management structure. Our future reform requirements." Director Miao pointedly said, "If it is said that we have retained high-quality customers, but the reform failed, who should be responsible for it?"

"Wrong, Director Miao, if we want to talk about the management model, business philosophy, and company's management structure, I think Bank of America is our best choice!" Another person interjected, "Both Bank of America has a long history and The ranking and influence in the world banking industry are above HSBC, I can't understand why HSBC has become the best one in your mouth..."

This meeting lasted until the evening, and finally ended without any results.Gu Yucheng walked out of the conference room, looked back at Suo Zhanghong and the others, and then left quickly.

In the evening, Fang Mingyuan received a call from Gu Yucheng.

Fang Mingyuan, who hung up the phone, pondered for a long time. The Fang family supported Gulf Second Bank's shareholding in the Bank of Communications in order to better use the Bank of Communications' position in the domestic banking industry to serve the industries under the Fang family.

Although in China, in addition to the Bank of Communications, the Fang family now has financial support from the Second Gulf Bank and Jimin Bank, but judging from the current status of the domestic financial industry, whether it is the Second Gulf Bank or Jimin Bank Compared with the Bank of Communications, banks are more or less restricted in some respects.Moreover, as an important shareholder of Jimin Bank, the Fang family also made a promise at the beginning that they would not easily make huge loans to Jimin Bank.Therefore, the role played by the Bank of Communications in the development of Fang's various industries is also indispensable.

Of course, the financial business of the Fang family's industries can be transferred to several other banks, and Fang Mingyuan also believes that these banks are absolutely welcome, but this is a trouble after all, and the Second Gulf Bank has become a strategic partner of the Bank of Communications Or, a very important purpose is also to promote Gu Yucheng to the first and second leaders of the Bank of Communications in the future. In this way, more favorable conditions can be created for the development of the Fang family industry in China.

As some people have said, the Second Gulf Bank can also become a strategic investor of other major domestic banks, but for the Fang family, the meaning is completely different.

and!Not to mention Gu Yucheng's good relationship with the Fang family over the years, Fang Mingyuan also hopes that Gu Yucheng can become a model among the Fang family's collaborators!

After entering April, the epidemic situation in Hong Kong has stabilized.Although there are still new SARS patients appearing from time to time, it is clear that the peak period of infection has passed.and.Many people who were initially ill have recovered and been discharged from the hospital. This has enabled people in Hong Kong to calmly accept the fact that Hong Kong is still an epidemic area, and people are no longer as panicked as they were in the early days.Although the channels of entry and exit are still not smooth, the number of foreign tourists is still very small.There is still a pitiful little occupancy in the hotel, but locally, Hong Kong people are gradually returning to their normal lives.Streets and alleys.Already a lot more angry.

Richard Robert, president of HSBC in Hong Kong, is in a good mood recently. In the invisible war with other banks for the strategic investors of Bank of Communications, HSBC is in a good situation.Thinking of the future, HSBC will be able to hold a maximum of 20.00% of the shares of Bank of Communications.Robert's mood was as refreshing as eating ice cream on a June day.

China's banking industry.It can be said that it is the last big cake that has not been fully developed in this world.And more importantly, this is a market that is sure to make money in Robert's view. The interest rate difference stipulated by the government and the exclusive monopoly market position determine the establishment of a bank in Huaxia, even if it is a pig that sits on the president In the seat, as long as you don't intend to die.It is absolutely impossible to lose money in reality!

Compared with these state-owned banks in China, these overseas banking industries are simply bitter children who have fallen into the water of coptis.There is no fixed interest rate difference, and there are so many competitors, as long as you relax a little, you may be surpassed by your opponents.It's not like Huaxia's bank can make money lying down.

Yes, he also knows that the ratio of non-performing loans in these banks in Huaxia is very high, and some are even quite astonishing. However, the emergence of these non-performing loans cannot be blamed on the banks. Many of these loans, All because of government orders.

With Huaxia's financial reform, Robert believes that similar incidents will become less and less, and the government's administrative orders will have less and less influence on the bank's business decisions. However, with the development of the economy, the scale of Huaxia's financial market It will become bigger and bigger, and by then, Huaxia's banking industry will definitely become one of the most profitable industries in the country.

Therefore, Robert believes that if HSBC Hong Kong can become a strategic investor of the Bank of Communications, the Bank of Communications in the future is bound to return ten times or a hundred times the income.

As for their competitors, although Bank of America is powerful, being a well-known bank in the United States is itself a disadvantage. They don't know Chinese officials well, so naturally they cannot "persuade" these people in a targeted manner.As for Gulf Second Bank, he admitted that Gulf Second Bank is indeed developing rapidly and has a strong background, but its historical background is too short. He wants to wrestle with HSBC, which has a history of almost 150 years. It also needs more time.

In Robert's view, it is only a matter of time before HSBC becomes a strategic partner of Bank of Communications.However, he didn't mind speeding up the speed. After the epidemic passed, Robert decided to go to the capital in person and visit several dignitaries. I believe their opinions will make the officials of the Bank of Communications make up their minds as soon as possible.

Richard Robert was in a good mood, but Rodriguez von Robertner, Executive Director and Chief Executive Officer of HSBC Holdings, was in a bad mood.

HSBC Holdings Limited, located in London, UK, is the holding company of HSBC Bank in dozens of countries and regions around the world, and HSBC Hong Kong is a wholly-owned subsidiary of HSBC Holdings Limited.

HSBC Holdings Co., Ltd. is negotiating with Lloyds Bank, one of the oldest banks in the UK, on ​​the acquisition of Lloyds Bank's consumer financing business in Brazil for its subsidiary HSBC Bank Brazil. The two parties have basically reached an agreement. HSBC Holdings Limited The company will invest 5000 million US dollars to acquire the Brazilian consumer financing business of Lloyds Bank.But just yesterday, news came from Lloyds Bank that due to the emergence of new competitors, the senior management of Lloyds Bank has decided to suspend the negotiations with HSBC Holdings Limited.And the new competitor is the Second Gulf Bank!

When Roberta heard the news, he almost wanted to strangle the person in charge of Gulf Second Bank. He didn't understand what the other party's dog brain was thinking. Gulf Second Bank only had a few branches in Brazil. , even if it is taking over the consumer financing business of Lloyds Bank in Brazil, in fact.There is no way to conduct business at all.Well, even if there are children of Middle Eastern royal families among your shareholders, the family background is rich.But even if you burn a lot of money, you don't play like this!

The following news made Roberta feel more and more confused and annoyed. HSBC Bank Mexico was acquired by HSBC Holdings Co., Ltd. last year, and has an important position in the global layout of HSBC Holdings Co., Ltd.But of the remaining seven shareholders, there are four.The board of directors of the bank has been notified that they will transfer their 30.00% seven shares of HSBC Bank Mexico to the Second Gulf Bank.And the Second Gulf Bank had no business in Mexico at all!

The Second Gulf Bank also competed with HSBC in France for controlling stakes in several small and medium banks in France.Although the attitude does not seem to be firm.But it has already distressed HSBC in France.

It wasn't until April 5.00th that the Second Gulf Bank sent a fax to HSBC Holdings Co., Ltd. Robertner knew that the Second Gulf Bank had acquired 5.00% of the shares of HSBC Holdings Co., Ltd. without knowing it.Moreover, the Second Gulf Bank will also launch the acquisition of shares of HSBC Holdings Co., Ltd. on multiple stock exchanges such as the New York Stock Exchange and the Paris Stock Exchange.[-]% stake in HSBC Holdings plc.This can already guarantee that the Gulf Second Bank will barely have a seat on the board of HSBC Holdings plc.

But this is not the most important thing. The most important thing is why did the Second Gulf Bank suddenly show hostility to HSBC Holdings?Not only has it launched competition with HSBC Holdings Co., Ltd. or its subsidiaries in Brazil, Mexico, and France, but it has also launched acquisitions of HSBC Holdings Co., Ltd. shares in multiple stock exchanges such as the New York Stock Exchange and the Paris Stock Exchange. Behavior is already hostile.

As far as Roberta knows, there should be no business conflicts between Gulf Second Bank and HSBC Holdings before this.

As for this behavior of Gulf Second Bank, Roberta did not dare to underestimate it.Although the Second Gulf Bank was established for a short period of time.However, the speed of development is quite rapid, and now it has formed considerable influence in the Middle East, East Asia, and Southeast Asia.It is also the fifth largest bank in Hong Kong.More importantly, its shareholders are powerful, one is the Crown Prince of Dubai!One is an important cabinet minister of Kuwait and the next strong contender for the Emir of Kuwait!Although there are only two people, the funds that these two people may mobilize are tens of billions of dollars.

The other one is "Fang", who is well-known in the world's film industry and shipping industry. His network is so strong that no one can match it among his peers.For such a "genius" who is only in his 20s, no one would want to provoke him if he could.Because no one can guarantee that I will be able to face him like this after ten or twenty years.

And on April [-]th, HSBC Holdings received a new fax from Second Gulf Bank, and on this fax, Second Gulf Bank proposed that HSBC Holdings could take a stake in Japan's Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation Matchmaking.It knows that several Japanese companies hold nearly [-]% of the shares of the Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Group, and they intend to transfer them!

Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Group was formed by the merger of Sumitomo Bank, the core bank of Sumitomo Group of Japan, and Sakura Bank of Mitsui Group in the year before last. At present, Sumitomo Mitsui Bank, with total assets of more than 100 trillion yen, is the core of the Mitsui consortium and the Sumitomo consortium. It is the second largest commercial bank in Japan and one of the top ten commercial banks in the world.

This news made Roberta very happy. As one of the most mature financial markets in the world, Japan is a place that many foreign banks are eager to squeeze into.As for Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Group, as Japan's second largest commercial bank, HSBC Holdings Co., Ltd., which is in the expansion period, is naturally particularly interested in its shares.

"Xiaoya, has the fax been sent to HSBC Holdings?" Fang Mingyuan put down the pen in his hand and stretched.

"It was sent early yesterday morning." Zhao Ya replied, "Even considering the time difference, they must have received it by now."

Fang Mingyuan nodded, believing that the first fax could make the management of HSBC Holdings Co., Ltd. fully understand the dissatisfaction of Gulf Second Bank.It has to be said that the many offshore companies established by the Fang family overseas have made new achievements this time.The 5.00% stake in HSBC Holdings Co., Ltd. in the hands of Gulf Second Bank was forcibly scraped together from the company's shares controlled by many companies.However, I believe that this 5.00% stake is enough to make the board of HSBC Holdings Limited pay attention to the opinions of Gulf Second Bank.As for the second fax, he planned to make a deal with HSBC Holdings Limited in exchange for their concession on investing in Bank of Communications.As long as HSBC Holdings Limited makes concessions, does HSBC Hong Kong, its wholly-owned subsidiary, still have a choice?

"Mingyuan, take a look at this document. If there is no problem, sign it." Zhao Ya stood up and put a document in front of Fang Mingyuan.

Fang Mingyuan glanced at ten lines at a glance. This is an acquisition agreement for Carrefour Group to acquire all the equity of Xitian Department Store operated by Japan's Seiyu Department Store in Shatian, Hong Kong.

Fang Mingyuan couldn't help laughing. He didn't expect that he and Sun Zhaolun both had their eyes on Seibu Group's industries. However, compared with sogo0 Co., Ltd., Carrefour Group's appetite was still a little smaller.But this is nothing. After the sogo0 Co., Ltd. acquired Seibu Department Store, it will naturally cooperate with Carrefour Group.Compared with Carrefour Group, the Japanese should prefer sogo0 Co., Ltd., an old Japanese department store, to acquire their own companies.

Fang Mingyuan signed his name on the document vigorously, and Fang Mingyuan also gave sufficient trust to Sun Zhaolun's vision.Moreover, in this way, the voice of Carrefour Group in the supermarket chain industry in Hong Kong can be further strengthened.Although the relationship between the Fang family and the Li family is good, Fang Mingyuan will not be relentless when it comes to competition.

Moreover, Carrefour Group's purchase of all the shares of Westfield Department Store is also a positive signal for the Hong Kong economy that is currently in trouble, and it has positive significance for boosting the confidence of Hong Kong citizens.

However, when it comes to boosting Hong Kong people's confidence in the future, Hong Kong Kumho Film Group and Guo's Shipping Group should also take action. (To be continued..)
