Legend of Xiangjiang Tycoon Chapter 469

At 7 o'clock in the evening, the restaurant of the Four Seasons Hotel in Hong Kong.

　　 Li Zhiwen came here with Cao Wenyu and Li Lingyu.

　　 At this time, Li Lingyu's hair is no longer the black and straight hair that it used to be, but has become a classic Hong Kong style wave.

　　 matched with the clothes purchased in the Kylin clothing flagship store, it is almost intriguing there.

　　 is that the waiter in the restaurant looks at Li Lingyu from time to time, and then sighs, confirming that the look in his eyes is not someone I can look at.

　　 And Li Lingyu is very satisfied with the hair he made. After all, although it is a Hong Kong style, but with Li Zhiwen, it is necessary to add some of his own opinions, so it is more beautiful than the popular hair in Hong Kong at this time.

　　 makes it difficult for the hairstylist in the barber shop.

　　 And Li Zhiwen believes that only a few days later, Li Lingyu's hair will definitely be popular in Hong Kong at this time.

　　 There are Li Zhiwen, Zhao Hezhuo and Li Lingyu in the private room at this time.

　　 Li Zhiwen and Zhao Hezhuo were there tasting tea, while Li Lingyu was sitting there nervously. After all, it would be unnatural to attend this kind of dinner for the first time.

　　 Li Zhiwen saw Li Lingyu's expression, put his hands on Li Lingyu's hands naturally, and said softly: "Relax, it's not a big scene, just be more natural."

　　 Li Lingyu did not speak, but nodded gently.

　　At this time, the private room door was opened, and the waiter brought in Jeff Hunt and a ghost.

　　 "Dear Lee, I'm sorry we had dinner!" Jeff Hunt greeted him skillfully.

　　 "Jeff, we just arrived not long ago. I wanted to sit with you long ago. This time I finally have a chance." Li Zhiwen said with a smile.

　　 Actually, Jeff Hunter and Li Zhiwen have not met each other, but businessmen naturally have their own way of getting along.

　　 "I think so too, Lee, let me introduce you, this is my wife Christine Taylor, a pure Frenchman." Jeff Hunter introduced.

　　 "Hello, Lee!" Kristen Taylor greeted, and then stretched out the back of his hand.

　　 Li Zhiwen, who did a great job in France, didn't know this kind of etiquette. He smiled and said, "It's very hard to see you, ma'am."

　　 Then touched Kristen Taylor's fingertips with his hand, and released it with a slight peck on the back of Kristen Taylor's hand.

　　 Then Li Zhiwen introduced: "Jeff, Christine, this is Zhao Hezhuo, the president of Yulong Bank, this is Li Lingyu, my female companion!"

　　 Since it was an informal dinner, both Li Zhiwen and Jeff Hunt brought female companions.

　　 "Let's take a seat!" Li Zhiwen said.

"Please!"

　　 Five people were seated. Li Zhiwen didn't come up and started looking for cooperation. Instead, he chatted with Jeff Hunt about what happened in England, and then chatted with Christine Taylor about France.

　　 "Oh, my God, I didn't expect Li to have been to Bordeaux, which is my hometown." Kristen Taylor said in surprise, covering his mouth with both hands.

　　 "Unexpectedly, Madam is from Bordeaux. It happened that I brought back a bottle of Dijin winery red wine from Bordeaux. Madam can taste it later." Li Zhiwen said.

　　 "That's great. Jeff and I left Europe for a long time, and it has been a long time since we drank our parents' wine. Thank you, Mr. Lee!" said Christine Taylor.

　　 "It turns out that this is the case. Just a few days ago, I bought a winery in Bordeaux, and soon a batch of red wine will be shipped to Hong Kong, and I will give a few to my wife at that time." Li Zhiwen said.

　　 "Thank you Mr. Li, I don't know which winery Mr. Li bought?" Kristen Taylor said with a smile.

　　 "Although the Lucheng Family Winery is not very famous, it has a long history and belongs to the second-tier Bordeaux winery." Li Zhiwen said with a smile.

　　 "Lucheng Shijia Winery, I heard that Lucheng Shijia Winery was sold in the first half of the year, but I didn't expect that the buyer was Mr. Li." said Christine Taylor.

　　 Originally, Christine Taylor thought that Li Zhiwen's acquisition of Bordeaux wineries would not be too big. After all, in Christine Taylor's view, Chinese people are generally poor, so where is it possible to buy Bordeaux wineries.

　　Although Lucheng Shijia Winery is a second-level winery, it is indeed the best in the second-level winery.

　　 And Li Zhiwen's ability to purchase Lucheng Shijia Winery shows that Li Zhiwen has a very wide network of contacts in France. You must know that wine is used to make friends.

　　 So Kristen Taylor paid more attention to Li Zhiwen, and inadvertently informed Jeff Hunt in a special way.

　　 Jeff Hunt knows what his wife Christine Taylor is like. Seeing Kristen Taylor's actions at this time, he couldn't help but fancy Li Zhiwen even more.

　　 "I am also a friend to help, so I was lucky enough." Li Zhiwen said modestly.

　　 "Mr. Li don't pretend to be humble, no matter what, Mr. Li is the owner of the Lucheng Family Winery." Christine Taylor said.

　　 "Indeed, Christine is right. It seems that Mr. Lee is actively integrating into the upper class." Jeff Hunter said.

　　 "Of course, the Duke of Bedford and I had a happy friendship." Li Zhiwen continued to release the bomb.

　　 And Li Zhiwen's bomb really scared Jeff Hunter.

　　 Jeff Hunter had to consider the purpose of today's dinner, so he said in advance: "Mr. Li, do you know about the takeover meeting of Hang Lung Bank tomorrow?"

　　 Jeff Hunter is not a fool. Since Zhao Hezhuo is here, Li Zhiwen is naturally interested in Hang Lung Bank.

　　 Before Li Zhiwen spoke, Jeff Hunt thought that Li Zhiwen had no qualifications.

　　 No matter how big Li Zhiwen Industry is, in the eyes of financiers like Jeff Hunter, Li Zhiwen is still not at the same level as them.

　　 But now Jeff Hunter has changed his opinion and thinks that Li Zhiwen is qualified, of course it is only qualified.

　　 "Of course, A Zhuo and I have reported. This is also the reason why I banqueted Mr. Jeff." Li Zhiwen said.

　　 Now that Jeff Hunter passed the steps over, Li Zhiwen would naturally not be indifferent, so he would just go downhill.

　　 "So, I don't know what Mr. Li thinks?" Jeff Hunter finished speaking and tasted a goblet of red wine.

　　 The quality is indeed quite good, as expected from Dijin Winery, Jeff Hunter thought.

　　 "I think it is not so much a takeover meeting as a blind date meeting." Li Zhiwen said lightly.

　　 "Oh, this is really interesting, why does Mr. Li say that." Jeff Hunter said with interest.

　　 "Mr. Jeff, as we all know, the Hong Kong government has no interest in banks, and the takeover of Hang Lung Bank this time is just a helpless move. After all, the run of the previous years is still vivid."

　　 "If the Hong Kong government does not take over the Hang Lung Bank at this time, it will cause a bigger run on the bank, and Hong Kong's finance will collapse at that time. This is also the Hong Kong government's helpless move."

　　 "The reason why the Hong Kong government held this takeover meeting is to find a good-quality young man among the banks participating in the meeting tomorrow to marry Hang Lung Bank."

　　 "The Hong Kong government likes to be a matchmaker, but it really doesn't like being a mother-in-law." Li Zhiwen smiled faintly.

　　 "Mr. Lee's must be very interesting, but it is very appropriate."

　　 "Since Mr. Li knows the situation, who does Mr. Li think will win tomorrow?" Jeff Hunter asked.

　　 "Mr. Jeff's words are biased. It is not who will win tomorrow, but who will not win tomorrow." Li Zhiwen said with a smile.

　　 "It's better than Mr. Li analyze it for me." Jeff Hunter said.

　　 "First of all, foreign banks such as Citibank and Mitsubishi Bank should not be allowed to enter the latter part. If they can kick out as soon as possible, they should kick out as soon as possible." Li Zhiwen said.

　　 "Why is this?" Jeff Hunter asked.

　　 "Mr. Jeff, Standard Chartered Bank is not HSBC. Compared to HSBC, Standard Chartered Bank can only be said to be relatively small."

　　 Li Zhiwen's words made Jeff Hunt's expression unswerving, but there was no way, Li Zhiwen was very right.

　　 "And the Hong Kong government deregulated banks in 1978, and these foreign banks followed suit and landed on the beach. I think it should have a great impact on Standard Chartered Bank's business. After all, they have strong foreign asset support behind them."

　　 After Li Zhiwen finished speaking, he took a look at Jeff Hunter. Sure enough, Jeff Hunter's face looked like pig liver at this time.

　　 Seeing here, Li Zhiwen retracted his eyes and continued to expose his scars.

　　 "And if Citibank and Mitsubishi Bank stand out at this blind date with their strong family assets, can Standard Chartered Bank, a local snake, overwhelm Jianglong?"

　　 "You need to know that Citibank and Mitsubishi Bank must have capital and strength. If there are customers who have obtained Hang Lung Bank by them, and follow these customers to work hard, it is difficult to guarantee that Standard Chartered will not make a favorable future for the bank."

Advantage Bank, Standard Chartered Bank, and HSBC were the former note-issuing banks in Hong Kong. In 1978, Advantage Bank was taken back by the Hong Kong government and transferred its right to issue notes to HSBC. Advantage Bank has gradually declined. Now There are not many branches.

"Mr. Li is alarmist. Hundreds of banks, large and small, such as Mitsubishi Bank and Citibank, will have the worst impact on our Standard Chartered Bank. We must know that there are no Chinese banks that are less pressure-resistant than ours. A few, yes, including Mr. Li's Yulong Bank!" Jeff Hunter said.

　　 Obviously Jeff Hunter already knew Li Zhiwen's purpose this time, it was nothing more than cooperation or something.

　　 To say that Citibank and Mitsubishi Bank are so dangerous is nothing more than frightening oneself.

　　 And Jeff Hunter thinks he is right. There are not a few Chinese banks that can resist the pressure risk than Standard Chartered Bank. How can it be said that Standard Chartered Bank was the first to be hit.

　　 And in Jeff Hunter's opinion, what qualifications does Li Zhiwen's Yulong Bank have to cooperate with Standard Chartered Bank? It depends on the five branches of Yulong Bank in the village and the five branches under construction?

　　 Jeff Hunter thinks that Li Zhiwen is simply whimsical.

　　 "Of course, Jeff Hunter is right, but Mr. Jeff, don't forget, what was the original intention of most Chinese banks?"

　　 "They don't want to use the bank to make money, but simply feel that working capital is convenient. Of course, it is more important to facilitate the hiding of funds."

　　 "So many Chinese banks are not afraid of going bankrupt. If they go bankrupt, they will go bankrupt and liquidate, without affecting their main business."

　　 "If it were a few years earlier, the impact may be greater. After all, the license is not so easy to apply for, but it is different now. The Hong Kong government has now lifted the restrictions on bank licenses, which means they can open another bank at any time."

　　 "Of course I can try not to close down, after all, these things are too troublesome, but that's all."

　　 "But Standard Chartered Bank is different. Standard Chartered Bank is the main business of the financial industry. It relies on banks to make money, so Standard Chartered Bank can't afford to lose."

　　 "And Standard Chartered Bank and HSBC are different. As I just said, HSBC's anti-risk capability is much higher than that of Standard Chartered Bank, and HSBC's Shen Bi Taipan made a good start for Standard Chartered Bank."

　　 "Not to mention that Mr. Bao Yugang's Global Shipping Company and Wharf Company's funds transfer in and out are all handed over to HSBC. This is a very substantial profit."

　　 "Even Hutchison Whampoa that I just acquired has to go inside HSBC."

　　 "With the two of us, HSBC can generate a lot of income in one year, but what does Standard Chartered Bank have, are there major customers who can not be poached by these big banks?" Li Zhiwen asked.

　　 Li Zhiwen's words are on the point. The major customers have always been Standard Chartered's ailments, but before HSBC was pressed, Standard Chartered could not make it out.

　　Do not talk about Global Shipping, Wharf and Hutchison Whampoa.

　　 Say that the Xu Family Group, Swire International, etc., are all included.

　　 And HSBC has countless small workshop companies in the hands of ~www.mtlnovel.com~ Many of these small workshops are supported by Shen Bi, so it is HSBC that naturally takes the account.

　　Of course, Standard Chartered Bank is not useless, but how to put it, Standard Chartered Bank does not have the kind of customers who can't be taken away.

　　 And once Mitsubishi Bank and Citibank acquire Hang Lung Bank, and then straighten out Hang Lung Bank's thread, Standard Chartered Bank will definitely be hit hard.

Jeff Hunter felt that he had never taken advantage of the confrontation with Li Zhiwen, and he became more and more irritable, and blurted out: "Mr. Li, speaking of it, you just want to cooperate with our Standard Chartered Bank and win Hang Lung together. Bank."

　　 "But Mr. Li doesn't look at the level of his Yulong Bank, and what qualifications he has to cooperate with Standard Chartered Bank. Sorry, I was a bit straighter, but this is very right, isn't it?"

　　 "No, Mr. Jeff, you are wrong. Standard Chartered Bank is not our only choice for Yulong Bank. In fact, we have already contacted Arab Bank."

　　 "Although the Arab Bank has been established for a short time, it has developed very fast. After all, it is supported by oil, which is unmatched by many banks."

　　 "Also, Arab Bank is also expanding around the world and is very interested in Hong Kong. At the same time, Arab Bank is also very interested in my cooperation." Li Zhiwen said.

　　 Li Zhiwen is pulling the tiger skin as a banner at this time, frightening Jeff Hunter, the best way to frighten, can't help but think of another way.

　　 But obviously, Jeff Hunt seemed to be frightened.
