Rebirth of the Strongest Tycoon

Chapter 580 Swallow 2 Banks

Xia Dingji has been observing the expressions of everyone, and seeing that everyone has finished reading, he said, "Everyone has finished reading, do you have anything to ask?"

Everyone looked at each other and shook their heads.

Shen Bi even said aloud: "Director Xia, please tell us the requirements of the Hong Kong government first."

Xia Dingji smiled kindly, looked at MacLehose again, saw the latter nod at him, he sat up straight and said, "The Hong Kong government's request is very simple, after taking over one or two banks, the bank must restore Open the business, ensure that citizens can withdraw money, and do everything possible to quell the run-off storm, if other banks ask you for help, they must borrow money to help them survive, so as not to cause another crisis.”

As soon as these words came out, no one in the seat could not help frowning.

Before they came, they had made a pre-judgment for the requirements of the Hong Kong government, let Hang Lung Bank and Ka Wah Bank resume business, and they had guessed that citizens would be able to withdraw money.

But it didn't guess that it would do everything in its power to quell the run and help other banks that might be in danger.

This latter point is more difficult, because the unpredictability is too great.

No one knows which banks in Hong Kong have tight capital chains. According to the requirements of the Hong Kong government, if those banks have problems, they are obliged to help them through the difficulties. This requires a lot of capital. If there is a problem There are too many banks, and it is difficult to guarantee that you will not drag yourself into the water.

But the most well-capitalized HSBC and the next-tier Standard Chartered are not afraid of this.

Therefore, Shen Bi and Gals Liddell agreed successively.

"HSBC agrees to the request."

"Standard Chartered also agreed to the request."

He Shanheng of Hang Seng Bank and Ma Jianmin of Heung Kong Bank of China were hesitant.

The capital of their two banks is relatively weak. If they take over two or one of the banks, they will soon face the requirements of large-scale withdrawals from customers. At that time, the flow of funds will flow quickly, and they will also have to deal with the holes in gold futures.

If they take over two banks at the same time, they will need to spend at least 800 million Hong Kong dollars in emergency.

In addition, it is necessary to quell the turmoil as soon as possible, otherwise other banks will follow the footsteps of Hang Lung Bank and Ka Wah Bank, and they will have to spend more money, and it is possible to start with one billion.

Such a huge cash flow has put too much pressure on Hang Seng Bank and Heung Kong Bank of China.

Seeing MacLehose and Xia Dingji looking over, Liu Tianci smiled lightly and said confidently, "Jiuding Bank also agrees to the request."

Hearing that Jiuding Bank of the later generation also agreed, He Shanheng was even more pressured and looked at Shen Bi subconsciously. Seeing Shen Bi slightly nodding at him, he felt confident and replied, "Hang Seng Bank also agrees to the request."

The four agreed one after another, and the pressure fell completely on Ma Jianmin. Several of them looked at him with a smile, wishing that Ma Jianmin would give up.

At this time, Bank of China in Heungkong was not strong. Although it was one of the largest banks in Heungkong, its money was not easily used. Bank of China in Heungkong was not the second largest bank in Heungkong at this time.

The mainland has just decided to reform and open up at this time, and the mainland's economy has not yet developed, so the trend of Hong Kong businessmen remittances through the Bank of Hong Kong has not yet appeared.

Under pressure, Ma Jianmin gave up the idea of ​​winning two banks at the same time, and replied, "Bank of China also agrees to the request."

If you can't win two, you will win one bank, and then the other bank will be owned by others. In this way, someone will bear the pressure together, and the risk will be reduced a lot.

"Okay, since everyone agrees to the request, then the next step is to decide the ownership of the two banks."

"The Hong Kong government doesn't need your money, it just needs to solve the problem faster and better, so you need to state your ideas and advantages."

Xia Dingji said solemnly.

"HSBC has enough cash to take over the two banks at the same time and take on the debts of the two banks. With the creditworthiness of HSBC, the two banks can easily survive the run."

Shen Bi glanced past Xia Dingji, looked directly at the silent MacLehose, and said indifferently.

MacLehose nodded slightly in approval.

Seeing that Shen Bi's appetite was so great that he wanted to take it for himself, Gars Liddell frowned slightly, not to be outdone: "Standard Chartered Bank's cash flow is not bad. After taking over the two banks, they will immediately sell the gold futures of the two banks. All the business was delivered, eliminating the run-off from the source.”

After MacLehose listened, he also nodded slightly, approving Gals Liddell's attitude.

At this time, Liu Tianci didn't want to wait any longer, and when he saw He Shanheng want to speak, he immediately said: "Your Excellency Governor of Hong Kong, Director Xia, Jiuding Bank has prepared 2 billion Hong Kong dollars in cash, and has enough capital to take over Hang Lung Bank at the same time. and Ka Wah Bank."

Hearing the exact figure of 2 billion, everyone looked sideways. They did not expect Jiuding Bank to have such strength.

Liu Tianci didn't change his face, and continued without a pause: "I can let Jiuding Newspaper Company maintain the order of public opinion in Hong Kong and do my best to calm the panic of the citizens. This is our unique advantage."

"And these days, Jiuding Bank has gone all out to quell the turmoil in secret, and has acquired a gold futures contract of HK$100 million purchased by citizens from Hang Lung Bank, and a gold futures contract of HK$70 million purchased from Ka Wah Bank by citizens. It is a major creditor of the two banks, and according to the Company Bankruptcy Law, Jiuding Bank has the priority to be repaid.”

"As long as I take over the two banks, I can now promise to everyone outside the Hong Kong government that I will fully cooperate with customers in the delivery of gold futures contracts and withdrawal requests."

After speaking, Liu Tianci looked at MacLehose, whose expression changed slightly, with a sincere attitude, and his eyes calmly responded to MacLehose's scrutinizing eyes.

As for Shen Bi, Gars Liddell and others, they all changed their faces and looked at Liu Tianci with strange eyes.

They were all stimulated by Liu Tianci's words. Jiuding Bank actually has a large gold futures contract from Hang Lung Bank and Ka Wah Bank.

Of course, with their ingenuity, they do not believe Liu Tianci's remarks, and even they are extremely suspicious that the gold futures contracts in the hands of Jiuding Bank were not acquired, but the run-off was caused by Jiuding Bank.

At this moment, in their hearts, Jiuding Bank can almost be equated with the mastermind behind the scenes.

Ma Jianmin of Bank of Hong Kong looked straight at Liu Tianci, his expression changed, and finally he sighed inwardly and chose to give up.

When he thought about it, if it was Jiuding Bank who did everything and tried to swallow two banks, then if he snatched one or two, he would have offended Jiuding Bank and Xia Yu behind it, which was completely unnecessary for Xiangjiang Bank of China.

Sitting in his position, many times he can't just think about economic issues, but more about political issues. Offending Jiuding Bank and Xia Yu behind him is very detrimental to him.

He Shanheng, who was sitting next to Ma Jianmin, was also an old man.

For a while, the conference room became very quiet, and there was a strange smell in the air.

...

With Jiuding Bank holding the trump card, MacLehose had no choice but to tilt the balance towards Jiuding Bank in his heart.

Although he also doubted that Jiuding Bank was behind the plans, the bankruptcy of Hang Lung Bank and Ka Wah Bank has been clearly investigated. It was the Zhuang Brothers and the Liu Brothers who misappropriated the client's funds and followed up with them on the surface. Jiuding Bank has nothing to do.

Furthermore, things have already happened, and it is useless to pursue further investigations. What MacLehose needs is the fastest speed to quell the turmoil.

Although Shen Bi and Gals Liddell raised their commitments again, they still couldn't compare to the advantages of Jiuding Bank.

Although the capital of Jiuding Bank is not as good as that of HSBC, it is enough to deal with the crisis.

Jiuding Bank can also allow Jiuding Newspaper Company to come forward and give the Hong Kong government the greatest support from public opinion, which is an extremely effective advantage.

The most important is undoubtedly the gold futures contract held by Jiuding Bank. As long as Jiuding Bank takes over the two banks, the total loss of the two banks will be internally digested 1.7 billion. This advantage is too great.

Not to mention that Jiuding Bank is still the biggest victim and the biggest creditor.

Therefore, this negotiation meeting ended quickly and anticlimactically. MacLehose approved Jiuding Bank to take over two banks at the same time, and signed a takeover agreement on the spot, at a price of one Hong Kong dollar each!

Although this result made Shen Bi and others dumbfounded, but they also seemed very free and easy to guess. After congratulating Liu Tianci, they left the stage one by one.

Afterwards, the Hong Kong government held a press conference. When Liu Tianci took the stage, there was a moment of silence.

When MacLehose announced that Jiuding Bank would take over Hang Lung Bank and Ka Wah Bank at a price of one Hong Kong dollar each, as well as Jiuding Bank's obligations, the audience was in an uproar.

Thanks to the live broadcast of Universal Television, the news quickly blew across the entire Hong Kong like a tornado.

The two deputy managers of Jiuding Bank, who had already made preparations, went to Hang Lung Bank and Ka Wah Bank to make contact at the first time, and each entered the accounts of 500 million Hong Kong dollars into the accounts of the two major banks. The Hong Kong government also sent police to protect the transport of vehicles. The cash trucks entered various business locations, and after conveying the order, they opened the doors again.

On the same day, customers holding gold futures contracts went to the two major banks to seek delivery. Although there were still many depositors withdrawing money, after learning that Jiuding Bank took over and entered 500 million Hong Kong dollars each, they saw the money transporter. Many depositors calmed down, and after the strong persuasion of employees of the two banks, many depositors gave up their plans to withdraw money immediately.

That night, Global TV's "News 30 Minutes" column focused on the news, and strongly urged the public to feel at ease, advocating that the storm was about to pass.

On the second day, the Jiuding Newspaper Company exerted its efforts, and the public opinion in the whole Xiangjiang completely changed. After reading the newspaper, the citizens suddenly found that yesterday's negative opinions were completely gone, and all kinds of good news were replaced.

For example, Jiuding Bank solemnly promises that depositors of Hang Lung Bank and Ka Wah Bank who withdraw money for special reasons can renew their fixed deposit time and recover their losses as long as they deposit their money in Jiuding Bank, Hang Lung Bank or Ka Wah Bank again. .

If a customer has a fixed deposit in Hang Lung Bank for three years, and the result is withdrawn after two and a half years, as long as they re-deposit back to Hang Lung Bank, or they can deposit in Jiuding Bank if they are uneasy, they can count the two and a half years of fixed deposit time again. , to recover two and a half years of interest losses.

This policy is too attractive for depositors who have withdrawn their funds urgently because of the squeeze!

After all, most of the depositors who are willing to make fixed deposits have no good investment channels and are greedy for the bank's interest. If it is not because they are worried that the principal is gone, how would they be willing to give up the interest to withdraw money?

In the following days, the storm of withdrawal gradually disappeared, and many depositors took their money back to deposit again, and some uneasy citizens went straight to the major business locations of Jiuding Bank to deposit.

The hot scene made Xiangjiang colleagues jealous.

Seeing that the Hong Kong financial market has returned to calm and public opinion has calmed down, MacLehose can finally go north with peace of mind.
