Chapter 573 (1/2)
”Then wait ten minutes.” Zhuang Shikai sat on the sofa, smiling.
Howard's office secretary brought a cup of coffee: ”Johnson, coffee.”
”Thank you very much.”
Zhuang Shikai raised his hand, followed the coffee, lowered his head and blew gently, and finally drank a mouthful of freshly ground coffee.
”Check! Has the business community involved in the transfer of $100 million recently? ” Mr. Huo gave an order to the phone, then hung up the phone, approached Mr. Zhuang with a smile and said, ”this thing is too dangerous.”
”I'll find out for you.”
Things didn't fall on Huosheng, who maintained a good demeanor.
Zhuang Shikai nodded: ”thank you.”
”Yes.” They sat on the couch, one smoking a cigar and the other drinking coffee. They talked for a few minutes. It was clear that they were waiting for news.
Because they are familiar with each other, they don't need to chat. Basically, it doesn't matter how comfortable they are and how they come. It doesn't matter if they don't want to talk.
Eight minutes later, Ding Ding, the phone on the desk rang again.
”Here comes the news.” Mr. Huo stood up on the armrest, put his cigar beside the table glass jar, went to his desk and answered the phone.
His expression solidified immediately!
”There's a problem! It involves Chinese funded companies! ” Zhuang Shikai also noticed something wrong in an instant, unconsciously put down his coffee cup, and his expression became formal.
Because Mr. Huo is no longer as light as he was just now, he has an expression of spreading things on his face.
”PATA!” Mr. Huo put down the phone, looked up at him and said, ”Zhuang Sheng! Something's wrong! ”
”In a week! That is, next Friday, HSBC will have a foreign exchange transfer of US $100 million, which will be transferred from the central head office Treasury to the airport and airlifted to London! ”
Foreign exchange cash is transferred by air.
Especially dollars!
Whether for Hong Kong Island or Britain.
These are extremely important foreign exchange reserves.
Zhuang Shikai frowned and said unexpectedly, ”what's the matter with us about the 100 million US dollars of HSBC?”
”I took a stake in an insurance company and accepted a $1 billion security insurance from HSBC three months ago!”
”What?” Zhuang Shikai was a little surprised.
Mr. Huo said, ”Aetna Insurance!”
”This is the insurance company I set up with more than a dozen Chinese bosses!”
Zhuang Shikai has heard of the name ”Aetna Insurance”.
And not just heard!
Aetna Insurance is the largest insurance company in Hong Kong!
After all, ghost insurance companies have the risk of ”running away” after 97. On the contrary, Chinese insurance companies will not.
No matter how they feel, citizens are still very honest when spending money. Generally, they prefer to buy insurance from Chinese funded companies.
Therefore, Aetna Insurance company occupies half of the insurance industry on Hong Kong Island, and the remaining half is occupied by other Chinese and British companies.
Among them, the market share of British insurance companies is very small!
Mr. Huo's shares in Aetna Insurance Company are also small. The main shares are held by the insurance king ”boss an” and a group of Chinese businessmen.
But as soon as Aetna Insurance goes bankrupt!
The whole insurance market will be quickly occupied by British capital!
British companies will never sit on the wall! Give you time to develop and grab back the market!
It will only devour the market and seize the market share, boast that Chinese companies can't afford to pay, and then acquire and restructure Aetna Insurance.
There is even reason to suspect that ronin group is employed by British companies!
When you narrowed your eyes, Zhuang Shikai asked aloud, ”how can the company accept such a large insurance policy? Board approval not required? ”
”This policy was issued by the government commercial department... It was approved by the board of directors at that time... In addition, it was signed by the deputy general manager of Aetna.”
”If this policy explodes... Aetna Insurance will go bankrupt!”
”You know, this one billion dollar policy... Still needs to be settled in dollars! The insurance company can't take it out now. ”
Mr. Huo spoke with some worry.
In a word, the insurance industry is also a big industry.
Especially in the economic areas where insurance is developed and popular.
A plate can often reach tens of billions, or even be linked to national policies to reach the ranks of trillions.
Of course, a region on Hong Kong Island is at most 10 billion or 100 billion.
Moreover, at present, the regulatory provisions of the insurance industry on Hong Kong Island are not perfect, and many loopholes can be drilled. This incident is a big loophole for British capital.
no
This is not a loophole!
I'm digging a hole!
”Can't the insurance company hold on?”
”I can't hold it!”
”Funds can't be transferred?”
”There must not be enough US dollars and foreign exchange!”
Zhuang Shikai said aloud, ”check that vice president.”
”I understand.”
”Zhuang Sheng.”
Mr. Huo nodded and said yes.
At this time, Zhuang Shikai thought about his chin: ”it seems that some ghost guys in the Administration for Industry and commerce are likely to cooperate secretly with British capital and give British capital the opportunity to kill with a knife.”
”This ronin group must have been found by British capital!”
Mr. Huo agreed: ”yes!”
”British capital wants to eat the insurance market.”
”It is also likely to be a retaliation for the last transportation industry.”
”That's right!” Mr. Huo nodded again.
There is no way. Business wars come and go. Since Chinese capital can attack British capital, British capital can naturally attack Chinese capital.
But the British way is as cheap as ever.
Aetna Insurance itself took over the large amount policy... Although it has great commercial risks, the large amount policy itself is the most profitable business of the insurance company.
What's more, it's a large insurance policy of government departments?
