Reborn Capital Tycoon Chapter 158

  Chapter 158 The opportunity to invest in HSBC

  After a round of mutual praise for business, the two started to talk about business. We are both busy people, and it is impossible to keep bragging about each other.

  Actually, the purpose of Sha Ya's meeting with Chen Yi today was only three things.

  The first thing is to simply meet and get to know each other. With more than 3 billion cash deposits in Chen Yi's account, he is enough to make him a super customer of HSBC.

   As the chairman of HSBC, Sha Ya must personally entertain our boss Chen to deepen the relationship between them.

  The second matter is what Chen Yi and Shen Bi discussed before. As the chairman of HSBC, Sha Ya must easily intervene. As for whether he supports it or not, this point does not need to be considered.

   If there is money to be made, HSBC will not miss it.

In fact, it doesn't work if you don't support it. Right now, Xiangjiang can be described as devastated. Every day, companies close down and go bankrupt. At this time, whoever has money is the boss. Most companies are facing a shortage of funds. At this time, Chen Yi has money. It is very easy to copy the bottom.

   There is no reason not to support it, since there is money to be made. Anyway, the dirty work is done by subordinates. As the chairman, he just needs to make a statement.

  As for the third matter, it was beyond Chen Yi's expectation. He never thought that Sha Ya would personally invite him to become a shareholder of HSBC Bank, and become a director of the board of directors of HSBC Bank just like the charter king.

You must know that the charter king in the previous life was able to abandon the ship and dock, and he was able to borrow two billion cash from HSBC Bank in a single battle in Wharf, thereby defeating Jardine Matheson in one fell swoop and successfully transforming. His status as a director of the HSBC Board of Directors played a considerable role.

  If he becomes a director of the board of directors of HSBC Bank and one of the shareholders of HSBC Bank, then he is equivalent to the boss of HSBC Bank.

   These days, what people pay most attention to is nepotism, in-law relationship, and interest relationship. Only when they are their own people will the big guys support and help each other.

   If you are not one of your own and do not fit in with the group, you will be excluded from the group.

  In the previous life, whether it was the charter king or Li Chaoren, both of them were directors of the board of directors of HSBC Bank and one of the bosses of HSBC Bank.

   Therefore, only by joining HSBC and becoming a director of HSBC, will he receive help and support from HSBC in the future.

   This is a good thing, Chen Yi will naturally not refuse.

  However, it may not be so easy for him to become a director of HSBC Bank. The most difficult point is his Chinese identity.

   You know, so far, among the board members of HSBC Bank, the only one with a Chinese identity background is the charter king.

   And who is the Chartered Ship King?

  The well-known world ship tycoon, the guest of political leaders from various countries, his personal strength and influence are more than a little bit stronger than Boss Chen.

  Especially in the early 1970s, the world's shipping industry was at its peak, and the influence of the charter king was so great that no one dared to ignore it.

  Although he didn't want to admit it, Chen Yi still had self-knowledge in the face of the charter king of this period, and he had no ability to compare with the other party anyway.

   "Mr. Sha Ya, I personally have no problem with becoming a shareholder of HSBC Bank, and I am willing to become a member of the board of directors of HSBC Bank."

   "However, as far as I know, in the board of directors of HSBC Bank, so far, there is only one Chinese, the charter king..."

Faced with Chen Yi's concerns, Sha Ya seemed to be prepared, cast a glance at Shen Bi, and then smiled: "You don't need to worry about this matter, Chen Sheng, as long as Chen Sheng nods, and the rest will be dealt with." I will settle it with General Manager Shen."

   "I believe that if Chen Sheng becomes a director of our HSBC Bank, it will be a good thing for HSBC Bank, not a bad thing."

  Seeing this, Chen Yi smiled and said, "It's rare for Mr. Sha Ya to appreciate it. If I refuse again, I'm afraid I won't appreciate it. If this is the case, I will trouble Mr. Sha Ya and General Manager Shen."

  Now the market value of HSBC is about three billion. It is amazing that HSBC can give him 10% of the shares. The 10% of the shares is only a few hundred million.

  Chen Yi remembers that the market value of HSBC in later generations exceeded one trillion yuan. The more investment at this time, the greater the return in the future.

  Moreover, the most important point is that HSBC has always been famous for its high and stable dividend payouts. Now that it has invested several hundred million yuan, it may pay back in a few years.

  Small investment, high return, big profit...

  Once this kind of opportunity is missed, it is very difficult to meet again.

  In the 1970s, there were very few tycoons in Hong Kong with a net worth of more than one billion, and there were even a handful of tycoons with a net worth of more than three billion.

  And the worth of those rich people, most of them are real estate, like the charter king, their worth is all on the fleet.

  The cash in the hands of the rich is actually very limited. With a cash flow of 3 billion in hand like Chen Yi, even if Xiangjiang is turned over, there will be no second person.

  Only an international big foreign bank like HSBC can be compared with it.

   Letting Chen Yi take a stake in HSBC Bank and become a member of the board of directors of HSBC Bank was actually not Sha Ya's whim, but Shen Bi's suggestion to him.

   Sha Ya did not veto Shen Bi's proposal at that time, nor did she directly agree to it. Now, after talking with Chen Yi, Sha Ya did not hesitate any more.

  Chen Yi was able to earn billions of dollars in a few months, although there was a bit of gambling luck mixed in.

  However, there is a good saying that luck is also a part of strength. If Chen Yi earns billions of dollars in a few months, it is all due to luck, then it can only show that the other party is a person with great luck.

  Living in Xiangjiang all year round, Sha Ya is also very interested in Huaxia's magical theory of numerology.

  One fate, two luck, three geomantic omens, four accumulated merits and five books...

   This luck is ranked second, which shows its importance.

  A person with great luck is far more than a person with the ability to read.

   And a scholar with great luck and ability is even more powerful. In Sha Ya's eyes, Chen Yi is a scholar with luck and ability.

  Relying on his own strength, Chen Yi was admitted to the best university in Xiangjiang, and then relying on his own ability, he created Dafeng Toys Factory, turning the original toy factory worth hundreds of thousands into a leading toy company.

  Now he is even more powerful, with a unique vision, he pressed the gemstone oil market ahead of time, and made more than fifteen times the profit from it, and his personal value directly surpassed those long-established rich men.

   Such a person has such great potential that he, as the chairman of HSBC, dare not predict his future achievements.

  Chen Yi now has money, but what he lacks is influence, and the fastest way to increase influence is to invest in the industry.
