Reborn Tech Maniac

Chapter 711 You Have Your Head Shaved
"Why don't I go and see what's going on at Guo's house?" Seeing his father getting angry, Li Zeju quickly comforted him.

"It's not necessary." Li Bancheng waved his hand, "Guo Henian said that he had to rush back to Singapore to deal with something urgent, so it shouldn't be an excuse. Tang Huan didn't even let us go. How could he forget that he even had a rift with the Guo family? .”

"You mean, the Guo family's listed company in Singapore is also being targeted by Tang Huan?" Li Zeju, who was pampered since childhood, seemed a little panicked. He couldn't understand at all, and he couldn't accept it. , How did it turn into a rush to put out fires everywhere?

Seeing his son like this, Li Bancheng shook his head, and pointed out earnestly: "You must follow the trend when you do things. Now God is helping Tang Huan and Qinhe. We don't need to touch this bad luck for the sake of the so-called face. The loss is not small, but it also bought a living lesson - when disaster strikes, there is no unbreakable alliance, and in the end you can only rely on yourself."

Li Zeju, who had regained his composure, nodded and took the initiative to say: "I will be responsible for the negotiations over there. You don't have to come forward. You can just give me guidance from behind."

Li Bancheng was very relieved to see his son share his worries in such a sensible way. With a sharp light in his eyes, he said, "It's fine if you are in your early years. When HSBC asks about it, I will have an explanation."

……

Li Bancheng subconsciously still had hope for HSBC with its unfathomable background, but the development of the situation soon made everyone realize that this financial empire that had been entrenched in Xiangjiang for hundreds of years was on the verge of collapse.

It must be pointed out that despite the almost ubiquitous influence of HSBC in Xiangjiang, its corporate structure at this stage has not yet implemented a complete corporate system in the modern sense, but complies with the HSBC regulations formulated in the last century, or the colonial era The company law of the United States, even when the New York State Government planned to find out how much its bank reserves were when it acquired the shares of Ocean Bank of the United States, it failed to do so.

It is no wonder that the HSBC logo was not changed from the original "colonial badge" to the current hexagonal pattern until 1983, and one can appreciate the subtlety of it.

In other words, HSBC, which has made a lot of money in Xiangjiang, is not regulated by the Xiangjiang company regulations.

Don't be convinced. If your fist is big, you will naturally have the strength to exist in a special form.

Moreover, for so many years, HSBC has been operating steadily and has a good reputation, and people have become accustomed to it.

But the problem is that before "Black Monday", HSBC funded various thugs to besiege Qinhe, and then deeply involved in the turmoil of the stock market.

The Hang Seng Index has not yet reached the bottom. This shows how much wealth has evaporated.The only people who are in the mood to laugh at this time are probably those speculators who have thrown away the stocks of Heung Kong Electric, Milk International, Mandarin Hotel, Qinhe Infrastructure at high prices.

The question that Hong Kong people are most concerned about right now is how much did HSBC lose in this global stock market crash?Is savers’ money still safe?
But HSBC's attitude is as arrogant and tough as ever - when the time comes, the specific situation will naturally tell you, what's the rush?As for the security of deposits, is this nonsense? It is not an exaggeration to say that all the money in Hong Kong is deposited with HSBC. Are your worries about three melons and two dates unfounded?

In fact, HSBC has its own reasons for being so blunt. If you directly say that the problem involves tens of billions of Hong Kong dollars, it will definitely stir up a thousand waves and make itself the center of the whirlpool.

However, HSBC's secretiveness has its limits.There are so many financial media in Hong Kong, and there are always a few who have real materials and can analyze a rough result from the public information.

In 1986, Hong Kong's GDP was more than HK$3000 billion.In contrast, in the Qinhe series of battles before "Black Monday", the total amount of funds mobilized by both parties was close to 1000 Hong Kong dollars.As the engine of the attacker, is it possible for HSBC to just talk but not do it?

Especially when a "big saver" like Yang Shoucheng took the lead in staging a good show that spread throughout Hong Kong, a run on storm that should have been impossible to happen inevitably formed.It is beyond the cognition of all Xiangjiang elites, and it feels like the sky in Xiangjiang is about to collapse.

How long HSBC can last under the pressure of hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars in deposit losses every day is estimated to be calculated only by the most core members of HSBC who understand the dividend.

For this reason, HSBC Chairman Pu Weishi calmly declared to the outside world: "I believe that after a while, the panic and negative energy of the depositors will be almost released, and HSBC has the strength to deal with all centralized withdrawal requests. In the end, they will find that, HSBC is the most trustworthy bank, and return to HSBC's embrace."

However, at the internal board meeting, the HSBC clerk jumped over the wall to show the face of the kidnappers, "The Chinese-owned banks that have been in crisis one after another before were finally rescued by the Hong Kong government and HSBC. But if HSBC also has this situation, then It means that the entire Xiangjiang financial system will collapse. Therefore, we don't have to worry too much, there are people who are more worried than us."

This is indeed the case. The Hong Kong government, which was already devastated by the stock market, saw the phenomenon of HSBC being run on, and it was almost as if it was going to be unapproved. It tried its best to deal with this unprecedented chaos.

Of course, Pu Weishi's calm posture is all for outsiders to see. Seeing that HSBC's family fortune is shrinking day by day, only he knows how angry he is.

What made Pu Weishi's head explode even more was that an uninvited guest came that day - He Shanheng, one of the founders of Hang Seng Bank and now the honorary chairman, is 87 years old this year but still insists on going to work every day.

In 1965, there was a bank run in Xiangjiang.When Hang Seng Bank's cash was about to be liquidated, it was He Shanheng who had no other way out and decided to sell 50.00% of the bank's equity to HSBC.

Ever since, HSBC not only picked up a big bargain, but also virtually eliminated the biggest competitor in the banking industry of Xiangjiang.

He Shanheng is a very pragmatic person. Although the power of Hang Seng, which has been in business for more than 30 years, was ruined, it became a lifelong regret, and he cried for two nights because of it.But on the day of the sale, he still presided over the meeting in person and kept explaining to the employees that only in this way could they continue to survive, and finally stabilized the morale of the army.

After committing to HSBC, Hang Seng Bank has also obtained real benefits. With the strong backing of HSBC, its development achievements are second only to HSBC.

However, in recent months, Hang Seng Bank has taken almost all the benefits it has gained over the years.

Since he and Li Bancheng had already formed a friendship when they started their business, Hang Seng Bank was naturally involved in the takeover war and took out a large amount of money.

In addition, after HSBC suffered a run, Hang Seng Bank was also inexplicably involved. He Shanheng, the spiritual leader of Hang Seng Bank, finally couldn't bear it anymore.

After seeing Pu Weishi, He Shanheng directly expressed his dissatisfaction, "For more than 20 years, HSBC has only sent representatives to the board of directors of Hang Seng Bank, and did not interfere with the original Chinese management and daily operations. The business has been passed on to Hang Seng, which is against the rules."

Pu Weishi, who was in a irritable mood, said in a stiff tone: "HSBC holds 62.14% of Hang Seng's shares and lets you share some of the business. Is there anything wrong with that?"

"That is the loss caused by your own mistakes, why should Hang Seng bear it?" He Shanheng asked without giving in.

Pu Weishi sneered, "He Sheng is only the honorary chairman of Hang Seng Bank now, so it's better not to worry about it."

"You..." He Shanheng was suddenly robbed and was at a loss for words.

"If He Sheng has nothing else to do, then I won't stay any longer. The Hong Kong government still has an important meeting to attend." Pu Weishi issued an order to evict the guest.

"Okay, okay..." He Shanheng nodded angrily and walked away without any nostalgia.

"At this time, no matter who it is, they dare to come and make trouble." Looking at He Shanheng's staggering back, Pu Weishi muttered in anger.

This HSBC taipan was very annoyed, and the spiritual leader of Hang Seng over there also secretly hated him.

Before getting into the car, He Shanheng turned around and looked at the fourth-generation HSBC headquarters that had not been officially used for a long time, and sneered: "It seems that God really wants to accept you! Hang Seng will not accompany HSBC Unlucky together. Back then, you took away the controlling stake in my hands, if I can get it back in my lifetime, then I will die without regret."

……

At a time when HSBC is dragging down all Hong Kong people and facing catastrophe, there are still some desperate people whose personal fortunes were entirely built on the stock market and who once had great glory, such as Huang Yulang, Liu Luanxiong, etc., have fallen into a desperate situation.

Huang Yulang, who arrogantly declared that he "punched Hu Xian and kicked Jin Yong", and was hailed as a new generation of Hong Kong media tycoon who was rising, completely lost the godhead of Emperor Yulang.

The stocks and futures index bought by this investment mallet have all become waste paper without exception.In order to pay off his debts, he had to sell his purchases, which were almost the only right thing to do.

The first thing that bears the brunt is the administrative and production headquarters of Yulang Group, which has not been sitting in the heat for a few days.

It can only be said that it is a drop in the bucket to sell fixed assets for cash, and many people took advantage of the fire to lower the price, otherwise Huang Yulang would not have the cheek to continue dealing with Hu Xian.

In other words, the Yulang Group, which has fallen into scum in the Xiangjiang stock market, has also become the target of being dealt with.

If he loses this property again, then Huang Yulang will really return to before liberation.

Therefore, at this stage, Emperor Yulang is desperately trying to find a way to save the nation.

Recently, what he said the most is, "Although the bull market is gone, my wonderful pen is still there, the comic market is still there, and the actual value of Yulang Group is still there."

I have to say that Huang Yulang's situation is relatively good.After all, he is just a lip-smacking and pen-playing character. Although he hates it, his knowledge in capital operations only stays at the level of "taking money from the stock market first and then spending it". In the end, he is nothing more than being beaten back to the previous He is just a poor boy, but gamblers like Liu Luanxiong who are well versed in capital management cannot get away safely even if they lose everything.

Compared with the outside world who can still see Huang Yulang jumping up and down hysterically, Liu Luanxiong, who originally pretended to be low-key to maintain the mysterious aura of a stock market sniper, has passively become the target of media ridicule and public embarrassment.

Especially those businessmen who have been tricked by this "bone dismantling expert" are full of schadenfreude, applause, and even condensed a vicious voice, "Every day, people jump from skyscrapers to seek relief. , why don't you see you among them? Could it be that you haven't chosen a good geomantic omen yet? How about I give you a suggestion?"

In fact, there was no need for his opponents to urge him in different ways. Liu Luanxiong had already begun to head towards this road of no return, because all other roads had been blocked.

……

After writing down the time and signing the name, the unshaven Liu Luanxiong took a long breath, stood up, drew the curtains, and opened the window. A gust of cold wind came in, and his mind was cleared up a lot.

Looking at the dense black spots moving below, the corner of Liu Luanxiong's mouth twitched.When I climbed to the top, I used to think that these are all living beings and ants, which are not worth mentioning; but now the fields are not as good as others.

At this time, the urgent call of "Da Liu" came from outside, and the door was knocked violently.

Liu Luanxiong recognized that it was the voice of his wife, Bao Yongqin, who had worked together through thick and thin to start a business, but he ignored it and dragged the chair to the window.

Suddenly there was a loud bang, which shocked Liu Luanxiong. Looking back, he saw a burly man rushing in staggeringly, and then a middle-aged man wearing gold-rimmed glasses walked slowly and leisurely. came in.He knew each other, and he was also a Chaozhou fellow-Yang Shoucheng.

"Big Liu..." Bao Yongqin ran to the window with tears in his eyes, and grabbed Liu Luanxiong's arm.

Yang Shoucheng looked around in a leisurely manner, and his eyes moved from the messy paper and pens on the table to the chair by the window, and finally fell on Liu Luanxiong's extremely decadent face, and said lightly: "Da Liu, You have your head shaved."

"You don't need to remind, it has already spread outside." Liu Luanxiong pushed away the crying Bao Yongqin, sat down on the chair, and asked coldly: "Why, have you changed your career to debt collection?"

"I don't have such a plan yet." Yang Shoucheng smiled slightly and waved his hand lightly. The younger brother took three steps in parallel and directly put a folder on Liu Luanxiong's lap.

Liu Luanxiong opened it for a few glances, and snorted disdainfully, "The stocks of Amergo, Chinaland, and China Entertainment are all waste paper now. You take the trouble to collect them. Do you want to wipe your ass? I'm afraid it's a bit hard. !"

"I didn't mean to threaten you. For a person who has a budding business, there is probably nothing that can threaten him." Yang Shoucheng gave a haha, then turned to Bao Yongqin and said, "Sister, please Go out first, I want to talk to Liu alone."
