v2 Chapter 581： Straight through the 0 billion mark (1/2)
In the second half of 1978, the British side began to prepare for diplomatic negotiations with the mainland on the future of Hong Kong’s 1997. The mainland also officially invited MacLehose at a banquet by the Minister of Foreign Trade in December.
Until now, McLehose has been acting on behalf of the British government to ask for directions and test the mainland's attitude towards the Hong Kong issue.
Therefore, MacLehose’s northward journey was highly anticipated. Newspapers such as Ming Pao, “Ta Kung Pao”, and “Sing Pao” that are biased towards political fields first discussed MacLehose’s northward journey in large pages.
And because of the need to divert people’s attention and eliminate the residual impact of the run as much as possible, major newspapers such as ”Fengyun Daily” and ”Sing Tao Daily” under Jiuding News also analyzed the matter.
The eyes of the general public in Xiangjiang were really attracted.
When it comes to the return of Hong Kong and two social issues related to their property safety and rights, practitioners from all walks of life in Hong Kong are paying attention.
Under such circumstances, Jiuding Bank has methodically rectified Hang Lung Bank and Ka Wah Bank, sorting out assets and transferring property rights.
Liu Tianci asked Xia Yu for instructions. After discussing it, he decided to merge the two banks into Jiuding Bank. After the complete absorption, it was the time when the brands of Hang Lung Bank and Ka Wah Bank disappeared.
Of course, considering the brand reputation of Hang Lung Bank and Ka Wah Bank in Southeast Asia for decades, Jiuding Bank cannot digest it in a short time, so the two banks’ brands are destined to exist in the next few years.
However, according to the long-term plan, these two banks will eventually disappear.
After taking over Hang Lung Bank and Ka Wah Bank, Jiuding Bank's total assets directly exceeded the 10 billion mark, reaching as much as 12.8 billion Hong Kong dollars. It is a big Hong Kong bank!
And Jiuding Bank has also harvested a large number of bank employees with strong business capabilities, which doubled the total number of employees of Jiuding Bank.
Zhuang Rongkun, who had been staying in Xiangjiang, saw Hang Lung Bank fall into the hands of Jiuding Bank, and finally left Xiangjiang until he left. He did not know why the two banks fell into the hands of Jiuding Bank.
Those who have a guess are the people in the conference room. MacLehose and Xia Dingji could not talk about it, and Zhuang Rongkun could not ask.
As for Shen Bi, Gals Liddell, He Shanheng and Ma Jianminshi, although they have guesses, they are not spread. After all, they have no evidence. There is no need to offend Jiuding Bank and Xia Yu for Zhuang Rongkun, an outside loser. .
What's more, even though they did not take any of the two banks, the four of them are all big banks. In this run, they are all beneficiaries. The only difference is that they have not benefited from the big bank of Jiuding Bank. That's it.
Perhaps as time goes by, news about this run will flow out, and various speculations and analyses will appear, but by then, I believe Jiuding Bank has also become a giant, and the Jiuding Consortium has also penetrated into all walks of life. , There is no fear of these past rumors.
Amidst the disturbances, another shocking news came out.
The Global Cinemas line was formally established, and a press conference was held at the Global Taiping Cinema, which was converted from Taiping Cinemas, inviting all Hong Kong media to participate.
The news hit Shao Yifu and Wrinkle’s forehead like a thunderbolt in the blue sky, and immediately sent the two of them to the Global Taiping Cinema to find first-hand news.
At the press conference, Jiang Zhiqiang vigorously announced the establishment of the Global Cinemas Company and unabashedly demonstrated the strength of the Global Cinemas.
Although in the past few months, there have been media speculations that the Hong Kong film industry and the theater industry will undergo major changes, but since no one has answered positively, the impact is not significant.
However, Dangjiang Xieqiang said that the Global Cinemas has 20 theaters in Hong Kong, with a total of 16,850 seats and 189 screens. It is more powerful than Hong Kong’s Jiahe Cinemas and Xiangjiang Shaw Cinemas, and it ranks first in Hong Kong. At that time, there was a moment of silence in the whole press conference, and then all the media went crazy, the lights flashed so that Jiang Xieqiang couldn't open his eyes.
”Mr. Jiang, is the big man behind the global cinema chain the stock **** Xia Yu?”
