Chapter 118： HSBC Taipan Shen Bi (2/2)
Soon, Xia Yu saw Shen Bi, he greeted him with a smile, and shook hands with Shen Bi who had also walked over.
”Shen Sheng, hello!”
”Xia Sheng, hello!”
Shen Bi also greeted Xia Yu with an enthusiastic smile, without the slightest negligence or arrogance. This attitude made Xia Yu nod secretly. He is worthy of being a long-sleeved Englishman with a long-sleeved dance and a deep Chinese cultural essence. HSBC is developing rapidly in his hands.
Before Xia Yu came to interview Shen Bi, people collected information about him and made some understanding.
In fact, there is no need to look at the information. There are many memories in Xia Yu's mind about Shen Bi, which are more complete than the information collected by the company.
Shen Bi came to Hong Kong in 1948 and joined HSBC Bank. He worked in Singapore and Japan HSBC branches for several years. In 1971, he served as general manager.
In 1977, he was appointed as the chairman of HSBC Bank until his retirement in 1987. During his tenure, HSBC's profitability grew rapidly, and its business development reached its peak.
He has a strong and bold style, and has close relationships with Chinese business people. In 1979, he sold all the common shares of Hutchison Whampoa held by HSBC to Cheung Kong, which helped Li Chaoren's transformation.
In 1980, another HK$2 billion was used to support Bao Yugang's purchase of a controlling stake in Wharf, helping the shipowner to go ashore, causing a sensation.
In 1985, it also spent 5 billion yuan to build the HSBC Headquarters building, and another US$3.1 billion to purchase a 51% stake in the American Ocean Mirand Bank. This shows the strong strength of HSBC under his leadership. Therefore, the people of Xiangjiang call him ”the king of the big pan”. .
It can be said that the rise of many Chinese tycoons in Hong Kong cannot be separated from his help, and his position is not particularly biased towards the British, otherwise he would not help Li Chaoren and Bao Yugang to annex British giants.
Although it is only 1978, those sensational handwritings have not yet occurred, and his prestige is not particularly high, but in fact it is not low anymore. Just his position as chairman of HSBC Bank has allowed him to board. At the pinnacle of Heung Kong's power, his influence is very strong in both political and business circles.
With him as the cover character of ”Economics” magazine, the weight is definitely enough, no one will have objections!
”Economics” magazine will also cause a sensation because of Shen Bi as the cover character. It can be said that he uses his influence to promote the magazine.
Moreover, now that Shen Bi is willing to accept Xia Yu's interview, it is because Xia Yu is the helm of ”Jiuding Daily” and is also a major customer of HSBC, selling a love to Xia Yu.
Otherwise, a magazine that has not yet come out and whose influence and future are unknown would not have the qualifications to allow him to waste precious time to take over the interview and use his influence.
Moreover, even if all of Xia Yu’s assets and influence add up, in front of Shen Bi, a top boss, it is still not enough to look at ~ It is precisely because Shen Bi gives face, Xia Yu also knows that Huahua sedan chair people carry it. People, so he rejected Yan Wenhan's proposal and decided to interview Shen Bi himself and give him enough respect.
Similarly, Xia Yu also intends to take this opportunity to get to know Shen Bi. After all, the Wharf and Hutchison Whampoa will not be able to get around Shen Bi, so he must have a relationship with Shen Bi and leave one behind. Good impression.
After all, even if Xia Yu uses an anonymous account to buy stocks, as long as Shen Bi wants to know, he still can’t hide from Shen Bi. After all, he used HSBC’s funds to allocate funds, which is still a huge number of 200 million. Shen Bi must know. It must have been approved by him, and HSBC has the right to monitor funds to ensure the safety of funds.
It is one thing that Liu Tianci has the right to give ten times leverage, but there is definitely a capital limit, which involves 200 million funds. Xia Yu also does not believe that Liu Tianci has the right to call the shots. The only thing that can do is Shen Bi.
Anonymous account operation can only be hidden from other companies except HSBC. Unless Xia Yu has his own bank and the funds are only transferred in his own bank, the greatest possible confidentiality can be achieved.
But now Xia Yu doesn't have his own bank. Even if he is constrained by HSBC, there is no way he can do it. If his strength is insufficient, what can he do?
You can only recognize the reality, develop desperately, and strive to close your financial company as soon as possible!
