Reborn Xiangjiang as a Tycoon

Chapter 120 Shen Zhou’s proposal

HSBC Bank.

This was Lin Baicheng's first time here, and this time he came alone.

Bao Yugang, the middleman, had already come over first to introduce Lin Baicheng and Shen Zhou to each other.

"Shen Daban!" "Lin Sheng!"

Lin Baicheng and Shen Chou shook hands. Although Lin Baicheng was richer than Shen Chow in terms of assets, the resources that Shen Chow, as the head coach of HSBC Bank, could use were not comparable to those of Lin Baicheng now.

Shen Zhou said: "I wanted to get to know you, Lin Sheng, at the last charity gala held by the Hong Kong government, but unfortunately no one introduced me."

"I have heard of Mr. Shen for a long time. It is an honor for me to get to know Mr. Shen."

Lin Baicheng also spoke politely.

Shen Zong said: "Lin Sheng, your company is thriving and developing very fast. I hope you can support HSBC more in the future. As the largest bank in Hong Kong, HSBC will definitely be able to help you if you have loan financing needs, Lin Sheng." ."

"Definitely, I will have to deal with HSBC in the future."

Lin Baicheng smiled and nodded. Regardless of whether he will cooperate with HSBC in the future, that's all for now.

"After Lin Sheng's business grows, it is inevitable that you will need some financial support. And when the bank lends funds to you, Lin Sheng, you can also earn profits. This is good for everyone and is a win-win situation."

Bao Yugang said with a smile that his current net worth is inseparable from the support of HSBC. Without the support of HSBC from the beginning, there would be no current chartering king. Maybe he can also make a fortune, but he will never develop. Become the world's shipping king.

"That's what Mr. Bao said!"

Lin Baicheng and Shen Zhou both agreed very much with Bao Yugang's words. Cooperation between banks and enterprises is indeed a win-win situation.

The three of them chatted like this for a while, and then got to the main topic of today's meeting.

"Lin Sheng, I would like to ask, if you get control of Hutchison Whampoa, how are you going to develop Hutchison Whampoa?"

Shen Zong asked aloud, after all, HSBC has hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars in loan debts in Hutchison Whampoa, and it is also a large company that has long-term cooperation with Hutchison Whampoa. Of course, HSBC does not want Hutchison Whampoa to collapse. That would be detrimental to HSBC. any benefit.

Therefore, even if HSBC wants to sell its shares in Hutchison Whampoa, it must find a good buyer for Hutchison Whampoa. It is hoped that this buyer can develop Hutchison Whampoa and ensure that HSBC's loan debt will not have problems. At the same time, let Hutchison Whampoa continue to cooperate with HSBC.

"I will first stabilize the management of Hutchison Whampoa, and first prevent Hutchison Whampoa from causing management chaos due to the change of controlling shareholder. As for the development direction of Hutchison Whampoa, I am quite optimistic about the real estate industry in Xiangjiang, so I will Let the company develop into the real estate industry."

"Furthermore, Hutchison Whampoa has too many subsidiaries. I will slowly sell some of the companies that are losing money, while I will choose to increase my holdings in high-quality companies and privatize them. Only by streamlining and specializing can the company truly develop and grow. "

Lin Baicheng talked about his general direction plan for the development of Hutchison Whampoa.

"It seems that Lin Sheng has a plan."

Shen Zong nodded when he heard this. He probably knew Lin Baicheng's development ideas for Hutchison Whampoa. Let's not talk about whether it can be successful. Lin Baicheng knew the importance of retaining Hutchison Whampoa's management, which meant that he was a qualified businessman. He could not Because Lin Baicheng looked down upon him when he was young.

"Lin Sheng, regarding the sale of Hutchison Whampoa shares, I have a proposal. I wonder if you are willing to accept it?"

"Daban Shen, please tell me."

Of course Lin Baicheng listened first.

Shen Zhou nodded and said: "The current market value of Hutchison Whampoa is more than 2.8 billion Hong Kong dollars. HSBC is willing to sell 22.5% of its shares in Hutchison Whampoa to you Lin Sheng based on the total market value of Hutchison Whampoa of 1.5 billion Hong Kong dollars. At the same time, Lin Sheng, if you have financial difficulties, you can pay 100 million Hong Kong dollars first, and the remaining amount can be paid within half a year."

"Is there such a good thing?!"

When Lin Baicheng heard this, his heart beat wildly and he was overjoyed. He didn't expect that he would be treated like Li Jiacheng. However, he was not overwhelmed by the ecstasy. He knew that he had nothing to do with Shen Porridge, and there was no reason for him to encounter such a situation for no reason. Good thing.

"Daban Shen, HSBC should have conditions, right?"

"good!"

Shen Porridge nodded and did not deny this. He and Lin Baicheng were not related, so how could he be so kind to Lin Baicheng? Besides, he was HSBC's chief executive, but HSBC was not his, and it would be detrimental to HSBC's interests. It's not something he can just do if he wants to, and shareholders and directors can't just watch him do it.

"As long as you, Lin Sheng, are willing to transfer the bank statements of all companies under your name to HSBC and sign a secret agreement with HSBC, this will be the case for all companies under your name, Lin Sheng, in the future, and HSBC will be given priority in loan financing, etc. In return, Not only will HSBC sell Hutchison Whampoa's shares to Lin Shengyou at a preferential price, but the interest rates on Lin Shengyou's loans and other businesses will also be lower than those of other banks in the same industry in the future. This is a cooperation that is beneficial to both parties."

“HSBC has such a big appetite!”

Lin Baicheng couldn't help complaining in his heart after hearing this, but he still asked calmly: "Is this the same for companies in other countries? If so, then forget it."

"Foreign assets do not count, but companies operating in Hong Kong are included."

The reason why I didn’t mention the place of registration is because the company’s place of registration can be changed, but you can’t just leave when you want to take root in Xiangjiang. Not only the official attitude must be taken into consideration, but also market issues.

Lin Baicheng said: "What about the time limit? It can't be a lifetime."

"Fifty years, Lin Sheng, what do you think?"

Shen Zhou tentatively said that his bottom line is twenty years, otherwise there would be no need to support Lin Baicheng.

Lin Baicheng did not answer, but said: "Daban Shen, I have to go back and think about this matter carefully. I can't give you an answer now."

Of course, Lin Baicheng didn't really think about whether to agree. In fact, he already rejected it in his heart after hearing this. The reason why he didn't refuse immediately was because he didn't want Shen Zhou to look too ugly. If Shen Zhou felt that Lin Baicheng didn't give him face, then Lin Baicheng How else can I buy Hutchison Whampoa shares from HSBC?

Therefore, he pretended to delay it for a while, saying that he would go back and think about it before rejecting Shen Zhou, so that Shen Zhou would not think that he, Lin Baicheng, was not giving face.

"This is indeed not something that can be decided at once. I am waiting for your reply, Lin Sheng."

Shen Zhou nodded when he heard this. In fact, whether Lin Baicheng agreed or not had no impact on HSBC. There were many people in Xiangjiang who were capable and willing to accept HSBC's support. If Lin Baicheng didn't agree, there would be others.

From Shen Chu's point of view, he gave Lin Baicheng this opportunity, and it was Lin Baicheng's loss if Lin Baicheng didn't grasp it. HSBC had many options to choose from.
