Chapter 563 (1/2)
Shen Bi knows that the situation is irreparable. The only thing he can do now is to cooperate with the Hong Kong government and convert all the foreign exchange reserves of HSBC into Hong Kong dollars.
If the Hong Kong dollar crisis is not lifted, HSBC will be closed for one more day. At the same time, it also means wasting one more day of Morgan bank's loan time. His idea now is to solve the problem quickly, and then integrate the global resources of HSBC to overwhelm other banks in Xiangjiang in terms of scale.
Pu Weishi has been invited to have tea, and Shen Bi fully cooperates. The operation of the staff of the finance department is even more straightforward. They don't care about the losses of HSBC. As long as there is a sell-off of Hong Kong dollars in the market, it will be directly exchanged with the foreign exchange reserves of the local HSBC Bank. This wave of operation makes the professional trader of Morgan bank somewhat incomprehensible.
HSBC is also the No. 1 bank in Xiangjiang, and it is also the No. 1 bank in the world. But how could the operation be so amateur? I didn't even understand the basic operation. What's going on.
Oakley, head of Xiangjiang of Morgan bank, is even more confused. What does Shen Bi mean. Here, I just exchanged Hong Kong dollars for Morgan bank and got the shares of ocean Miran bank; They began to break bridges and use foreign exchange reserves to buy back Hong Kong dollars.
HSBC will not participate in the war, but Oakley assured the family that it is so simple and direct now, and there is even a momentum of breaking the boat, which makes Morgan bank angry.
Oakley quickly called Shen Bi to ask what was going on. After treachery, we still want to develop in the United States. It's not all right to buy a small bank. HSBC can't survive in the United States without the help of the Morgan family.
The banking industry in any country needs the help of the government and consortia to develop, not to mention the powerful United States of America. HSBC dares to play with whether the Morgan family does not want to come to the United States for development, or whether they are arrogant and think that the Morgan family is not enough.
But what Oakley didn't expect was that Shen Bi didn't answer the phone. What does that mean. After using up, he began to hide himself. He didn't want Morgan bank to be better, and I couldn't make you comfortable. Oakley quickly asked the driver to take him to the headquarters of HSBC.
Shen Bi doesn't dare to answer the phone call from Morgan. Isn't this telling the people in Xiangjiang that they betrayed them! It's too late to hide at this time. How can Oakley find him.
When Oakley came to the headquarters of HSBC, he saw that it was semi closed and only some employees handled foreign exchange business. Other businesses will be suspended. Let alone Shen Bi, other senior executives of HSBC are not in the office.
Seeing this situation, he knew that something might have happened to HSBC and that Shen Bi might have been controlled.
After leaving HSBC, Oakley felt that things should not be so simple and quickly reported the situation to China.
The chief person in charge of short selling Hong Kong dollars at Morgan bank this time is William Morgan, that is, Rachel Morgan's brother. After listening to Xiangjiang's report, from the operation of HSBC's branches around the world, it is likely that HSBC will be entrusted by the government. In other words, the Xiangjiang government has reached the end of its tether. After all, the direct takeover of the central bank is rare in the world.
William Morgan thought that as long as HSBC's foreign exchange reserves were used up, there was no way for Xiangjiang, so he ordered his men to increase the strength and amount of shorting Hong Kong dollars in various financial markets.
HSBC's foreign exchange reserves exceeded US $40 billion, so Morgan bank did not take advantage of it for three days in a row. However, HSBC's foreign exchange reserves have been few. If Morgan bank comes over with HK $100 billion after the loan expires, HSBC will definitely be unlucky.
Seeing that the bank had this situation, Shen Bi hurriedly convened the board of directors again. This time, all directors are required to participate. Now is a moment of life and death for HSBC. In any case, we should give an explanation to shareholders. Small shareholders also have the right to know, otherwise it is very troublesome to sue you.
At this time, there were many staff of the finance department in HSBC. Shen Bi did not put the meeting inside the bank, but arranged it in a hotel under the name of HSBC.
In order to the board of directors, the hotel began not to receive any guests three days ago. Shen Bi called the directors living in the UK this time. There is no time to send representatives to attend. After all, things are too much in common and everyone's interests are closely related.
