Reborn as a Hong Kong Tycoon

Chapter 223 Li and Shen's Conversation
HSBC.

In the lounge, Li Jiacheng sat with a contemplative expression on his face. He was thinking about why Shen Porridge, the HSBC executive, invited him to meet him.

HSBC is the largest bank in Hong Kong. As a businessman, of course Li Jiacheng has dealt with HSBC, and he has also dealt with HSBC’s big class, Shen Congee, but the number of meetings is not many. Every time he seeks funds from HSBC support.

Therefore, Li Jiacheng was not very familiar with Shen Congee, of course he wanted to get acquainted with Shen Congee, but Shen Congee came to him suddenly, of course he wanted to know the reason.

"Mr. Li, the big class is welcome."

While Li Jiacheng was thinking, Shen Congee's secretary walked in.

"Thank you."

Li Jiacheng followed the secretary to Shen Congee's office.

Seeing Li Jiacheng who walked in, Shen Conge walked over with a smile: "Li Sheng, I'm really sorry, I have something to do just now, so I kept you waiting."

"You're welcome, Taipan. I'm fine anyway."

Li Jiacheng held Shen Congee's outstretched right hand with both hands, with a respectful attitude.

The two sat down on the sofa, and the secretary made a cup of coffee for Li Jiacheng.

The two chatted politely for a while.

Shen Porridge turned to Li Jiacheng and said, "Li Sheng, do you have any opinion on Xiangjiang's future economic development?"

Although he didn't know why Shen Porridge asked this question, Li Jiacheng still organized the language and said: "I am optimistic about the future development of Xiangjiang's economy, and if Xiangjiang's economy develops well, people's income will naturally increase, but Xiangjiang is not a big place with a large population , so there will be great achievements in Xiangjiang Real Estate Industry Association, I am optimistic about the development of Xiangjiang real estate industry in the future, and Cangjiang Industrial also mainly develops the real estate industry.”

Shen Congee just nodded when he heard this, and asked again: "Li Sheng, what is the basis for you to be optimistic about Xiangjiang's economic development? Isn't there a reason?"

Li Jiacheng looked at the sinking porridge and found that there was nothing to see. After thinking for a while, he still said: "The ten-year chaos in the mainland has ended, and the political and economic situation has changed, which has strengthened the relationship with Xiangjiang. This is conducive to the prosperity of Xiangjiang’s economy, so I am optimistic about the development of Xiangjiang’s economy, unless the political and economic situation in the mainland changes again.”

When Li Jiacheng got to the point, Shen Congee nodded in agreement and said, "Then do you think the political and economic situation on the mainland will change again?"

"Dapan, how can I know this?"

Li Jiacheng smiled helplessly. Although he is a billionaire in Xiangjiang, even he can't guess the political and economic situation of such a big country, and he can't guess the direction.

Shen Congee was not surprised when he heard the words. He looked at Li Jiacheng seriously and said, "Then Li Sheng, if the mainland invites Xiangjiang's business elites to invest in the mainland, what will you do? Will you choose to invest heavily?"

Li Jiacheng was about to answer when he heard the words, but suddenly his heart moved, and he fell silent.

The person in front of him is Shen Congee, the head of HSBC, and HSBC is the largest bank in Xiangjiang, and Xiangjiang is currently a British colony. This question is definitely not just a simple inquiry.

Looking at Li Jiacheng who was in deep thought, Shen Porridge didn't urge him, but he already had the answer in his heart. The person in front of him was a real businessman, or should I say a capitalist.

After a while, Li Jiacheng solemnly said to Shen Porridge: "I will invest in the Mainland, because the Mainland has a large population and a huge market. If we insist on developing the economy, we will definitely develop the economy slowly, and the investment now will definitely bring huge returns in the future. However, I will not invest heavily, let alone put all my wealth on it, because I am worried that the political and economic situation in the mainland will change, and we capitalists will not be welcome, and our assets will even be confiscated.”

What Li Jiacheng said is the truth. He neither flaunted his patriotic personality, nor said that he would not invest in anything because of the existence of Shen Congee, and he did not specifically pick up good words.

"really!"

Shen Congee smiled inwardly when he heard this, and thought to himself that it was true.A Chinese capitalist like Li Jiacheng is exactly what he is looking for. Young people like Lin Baicheng who don't know the heights of the world, suddenly get rich, and don't know the depth of politics in the mainland will be close to the mainland and will not accept his olive branch.Don't even think about it, if the political and economic situation in the mainland changes, the investment there may be confiscated at any time, and it will be too late to regret it at that time.

Shen Congee originally wanted to recruit Lin Baicheng. In his opinion, the close cooperation between the two parties would be beneficial to everyone. Unfortunately, Lin Baicheng refused. Shen Congee immediately changed his goal and found Li Jiacheng, who was optimistic before, but Li Jiacheng did not let him. Disappointed, is a standard capitalist.

"Li Sheng, HSBC wants to reach some cooperation with you. HSBC is willing to give you an unsecured low-interest loan of million Hong Kong dollars first. In the future, HSBC will give you the best conditions for all your loan financing at HSBC. I believe that HSBC will With your support and Li Sheng's skill, you will definitely be able to make a big splash in Xiangjiang."

"Thank you Taipan and HSBC for supporting me."

Li Jiacheng expressed his gratitude aloud. He secretly suppressed the excitement in his heart and asked aloud: "Dapan, I think HSBC must have conditions for supporting me?" Whatever you do, it is impossible to just give benefits for no reason without any requirements.

"Of course, Li Sheng, just listen to me."

Shen Congee nodded with a smile, very satisfied with Li Jiacheng's calmness, secretly thought that he had seen the right person.

At the moment, Shen Congee told HSBC's conditions, which were more stringent than what he had told Lin Baicheng at the beginning.Of course there was a reason for this. Lin Baicheng's financial resources were stronger than Li Jiacheng's. Of course, the conditions offered by Shen Porridge were better, and Li Jiacheng's conditions were of course more stringent.

HSBC's conditions, such as only cooperating with HSBC and not opening a bank by itself, are nothing to Li Jiacheng, and he can agree without thinking.

However, there are certain conditions that he has to consider.For example, when his assets reach 500 billion Hong Kong dollars, he must have investment in the UK, and the assets in the UK cannot be lower than 10% of his assets.

There are other similar and more difficult conditions, but they are not the ones that Li Jiacheng cannot accept.For example, if Li Jiacheng's political attitude is completely inclined to the United Kingdom, and he stands directly opposite the mainland, if there are such conditions, then he must seriously consider whether it is worthwhile.

Li Jiacheng talked with Shen Porridge, and after relaxing some conditions a little, he agreed to cooperate with HSBC.For Li Jiacheng, he only has a small net worth now, and he can't guarantee what will happen in the future, but with the support of HSBC, he is confident that he will have a net worth of more than tens of billions of Hong Kong dollars in the future, so he is unwilling to refuse HSBC cooperation.

Many conditions of HSBC will only be useful after Li Jiacheng has a net worth of tens of billions, otherwise it is meaningless. Therefore, in Li Jiacheng's view, it feels like a pie in the sky, and he wants to eat this pie in his stomach.
