Reborn Xiangjiang as a Tycoon

Chapter 122 Reject HSBC

After leaving HSBC, Lin Baicheng called Cheng Yufeng and Maori Haruko to Yum Securities.

Lin Baicheng asked Mouri Haruko to stay in Xiangjiang for an extra day or two, but Sasaki Boruto returned to Japan first, and it happened that he needed a few days to deal with personal matters before going to work.

Lin Baicheng told the two of them the conversation he had with Shen Porridge at HSBC.

After listening, Cheng Yufeng said: "Mr. Lin, HSBC's conditions are very good. Not only will it not do you any harm, but when you need funds in the future, you can borrow a large amount of funds from HSBC. With the support of HSBC,

Your career development will definitely be smoother."

"Chairman, if you feel that fifty years is too long, I think we can talk about the time. And in terms of conditions, we should also be able to talk about it and strive for some conditions that are beneficial to you."

Maori Haruko's views are obviously the same as Cheng Yufeng's. No matter which country you are in, with the support of a big bank, your career development will be much smoother and there will be many benefits.

After listening to what the two said, Lin Baicheng said: "Have you ever thought about how I can own my own bank in the future?"

"this"

Cheng Yufeng and Maori Haruko couldn't help but look at each other. They didn't expect that their boss would think so far and have the idea of ​​opening his own bank.

Lin Baicheng said: "My long-term goal is to establish a consortium of my own, and it is impossible for a consortium to not have its own bank. This long-term goal of mine will not change and will only continue to develop in this direction."

"In this case, we can only reject HSBC's proposal."

Hearing what Lin Baicheng said, Cheng Yufeng said with some regret: "But in this case, HSBC will definitely not sell its shares to you, Mr. Lin, at a discount. Maybe there will be a premium."

"This is a loss of at least hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars. Whether it is worth it or not, Mr. Lin has to make your own decision."

Maori Haruko also said that they are just assistants, and such decisions involving hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars need to be made by Lin Baicheng himself.

In fact, neither Cheng Yufeng nor Maori Haruko think that Lin Baicheng can set up a consortium now. They think that he should get the immediate benefits first. But Lin Baicheng is the boss, and as assistants they plan for Lin Baicheng, the boss. At the same time,

Help Lin Baicheng handle affairs, rather than help Lin Baicheng make decisions.

"The benefits are not small, but they are not easy to get. I have decided to refuse."

Lin Baicheng shook his head. If it was only three to five years, then he wouldn't mind signing an agreement with HSBC. After all, he wouldn't have his own bank that soon. But Shen Zhou said it would be fifty years. Even if the time could be negotiated, two or three

Ten years is also required, and it is so different from his psychological bottom line that there is no need to talk about it.

Lin Baicheng called the two of them here, mainly to discuss how to deal with his refusal and what to do to get Shen Zhou to sell Hutchison Whampoa's shares to Lin Baicheng.

After discussion, Lin Baicheng had a general idea, and the specific details would depend on him and Shen Porridge to adapt to the situation when they discuss it again.

The next morning, Lin Baicheng sent Haruko Mouri to the airport to explain some things about the Japanese company.

In the afternoon, Lin Baicheng went to HSBC again. He had made an appointment to meet in advance in the morning, and Bao Yugang was also there this time.

"Shen Daban, I'm sorry. I have a good relationship with Huo Daban of Standard Chartered, and we cooperate very well with Standard Chartered. I can't renege on our previous cooperation just because I can acquire Hutchison Whampoa's shares at a preferential price. So although it's a pity, I can only reject."

Of course, Lin Baicheng cannot say that he wants to have his own bank. He happens to be cooperating with Standard Chartered Bank, so it is most appropriate to use cooperation with Standard Chartered as an excuse to refuse.

"Lin Sheng, this is a discount of hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars, you don't want to consider it anymore?"

Lin Baicheng's refusal surprised Shen Zhou. After all, this was a discount worth about 300 million Hong Kong dollars. Lin Baicheng could earn 300 million Hong Kong dollars if he agreed, which was not a small amount of money.

Lin Baicheng shook his head: "Shen Taipan, I won't hide it from you. I just borrowed HK$300 million from Standard Chartered Bank with Asia Television a few days ago. Standard Chartered Bank supports me so much. I can't possibly backtrack and stop cooperating with it, right?" ?This is the principle of my life, so even though your offer, Shen Daban, makes me very excited, I can only refuse."

"Lin Sheng is indeed an honest businessman, and his moral character is rare and valuable."

Lin Baicheng has said this, what else can Shen Zhou say? It is impossible to persuade Lin Baicheng not to be honest, and the benefits obtained are the most important, right?

Although a qualified businessman should do this, there are some things that can be done but must not be said out loud. On the surface, everyone is a good businessman who is honest, trustworthy and law-abiding.

"It is indeed a pity that we cannot cooperate with Lin Sheng for a long time, but this does not affect our cooperation this time. If you, Lin Sheng, have loan or financing needs in the future, you can also contact HSBC. At the same time, I hope that you, Lin Sheng, can deepen your relationship with HSBC." cooperate."

Shen Chow said that it would not be a loss for HSBC if Lin Baicheng did not agree. Anyway, he also has talents that he values ​​​​among Hong Kong businessmen. For example, another figure in this acquisition, Li Jiacheng, had been in contact with HSBC since the year before last. , Shen Zhou has observed Li Jiacheng and found that Li Jiacheng's ability is indeed very good. He also intends to develop Li Jiacheng into a long-term partner.

"HSBC is the largest bank in Hong Kong. I have a lot to ask for from HSBC in the future. Being able to cooperate with HSBC is the best thing for me."

Lin Baicheng agreed with a smile, and then said: "Daban Shen, don't you know about this transaction?"

"It does not affect this transaction, but the price is not that low."

Hutchison Whampoa's shares still need to be sold. Since Bao Yugang doesn't want it, it's okay to sell it to Lin Baicheng, but we need to have a good discussion on the price and try to sell it at a high price.

"Taban Shen, after buying the shares of Hutchison Whampoa held by your bank, I intend to mortgage these shares to HSBC and obtain a loan from HSBC. At the same time, after I get the control of Hutchison Whampoa, in order to For the development of Hutchison Whampoa, I am going to apply for a loan from the bank. I wonder if HSBC is willing to provide a loan to Hutchison Whampoa?"

After rejecting Shen Chu, Lin Baicheng never thought that HSBC would sell Hutchison Whampoa's shares to him at such a low price. Without the secret agreement, let alone Lin Baicheng, even if it were replaced by Li Jiacheng, it would be useless.

Through what happened to him this time, Lin Baicheng was sure that in his previous life, Li Jiacheng got the shares of Hutchison Whampoa from HSBC. Not only was the price low, but he also only had to pay a part of the funds first. It can be seen that HSBC and Li Jiacheng A secret agreement must have been reached secretly, otherwise HSBC and Shen Porridge were not stupid, how could they have given so much money to Li Jiacheng for free.

Judging from the development in his previous life, Li Jiacheng’s choice was right. Otherwise, without the support of HSBC, how could Li Jiacheng have become the richest man in Hong Kong so easily? And HSBC’s choice was also right. After Li Jiacheng developed, he also became the richest man in Hong Kong. Created great benefits.

However, Lin Baicheng believes that even if he rejects HSBC, based on his understanding of future major trends, his development will still be good. It can even be said that if his development in a few decades is not as good as Li Jiacheng in his previous life, then he will What a failure.
