Rebirth of Hong Kong 1981

After all, even if Yang Chen lacks money, he won't take a loan from Standard Chartered Bank. As long as he doesn't take a loan from Standard Chartered Bank, the other party can't do anything to him.

Moreover, Yang Chen didn't think that Standard Chartered Bank would do anything for a shareholder representative whose background was not clean and someone caught him.

Capitalists are all profit-seeking, and it is impossible for them to spend time and money to fight against a rising tycoon for a person who ruins their own reputation.

Even, under certain circumstances, Standard Chartered Bank will try its best to win over Yang Chen and turn him into its own client.

Now Yang Chen's business covers the three industries of media, retail, and clothing. If Standard Chartered Bank can win over Yang Chen, it will definitely make huge profits.

Whether it is the garment industry, the retail industry or the media industry, all three have a lot of liquidity in their hands.

At the same time, the three industries all need a lot of manpower, and now there are nearly ten thousand employees who rely on Yang Chen alone for food.

And behind these employees, there are nearly [-] families and tens of thousands of living expenses.

As long as Yang Chen pays his salary a little bit to a certain bank, he can bring tens of thousands of high-quality customers to a certain bank.

What is a quality customer?

With a stable income and a monthly salary exceeding the average salary in a region, these people can be called high-quality customers.

Because they can provide banks with a stable cash flow every month, allowing banks to invest in more industries.

This is also one of the reasons why each bank provides extremely considerate services to the big bosses in its own line.

Because behind every big boss and businessman, there are hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of high-quality customers under his banner.

If you don't serve them well, it's too easy for the other party to switch to another bank for cooperation.

Chapter 231 Target Jardine

As for the former Jardine Group, to be honest, Yang Chen is really not interested in it, especially Jardine Matheson, the predecessor of Jardine, I believe no one will forget the various harms it has brought to the people of the country.

If it weren't for the Keswick family to buy all the Jardine shares held by the Jardine family and become the major shareholder of Jardine.

Yang Chen believed that it would be almost impossible for future generations of Yihe to enter the inland.

As one of the four major foreign firms in Xiangjiang, he had previously attacked Xue's manufacturing industry. If Yang Chen didn't teach the other party a profound lesson, it would obviously be a bit unsuitable for him as a reborn person.

Moreover, Yang Chen is now particularly envious of the milk company in the hands of the other party. This company occupies a large share of the Xiangjiang retail market. Yang Chen has been eyeing it a long time ago.

Of course, Yang Chen is not blindly arrogant.

The main reason why he dared to focus on this milk company under the four major foreign companies was the subsequent series of incidents that the Jardine Group dug and buried themselves in.

In 1980, with the help of Li Jiacheng, with the help of HSBC, he successfully controlled Hutchison Whampoa, the then chairman of the Jardine Matheson Group, Niu Bijian, was coveted by the Chinese-funded consortium.

So he came up with the idea of ​​holding mutual holdings between the Jardine Group and its subsidiary Hongkong Land, so as to dispel the outside world's spying on the two companies.

After a series of dizzying integrations, Jardine, which spent a huge amount of money, finally made itself and Hongkong Land a mutual holding company, gaining a great advantage in equity.

It's a pity that Niu Bijian, the chairman of Jardine Matheson Group, was still worried, and then started a series of crazy acquisitions.

Hongkong Land successively acquired the control rights of Hong Kong Electric and Hong Kong Telephone Company, which made Hongkong Land's assets reach a jaw-dropping level.

The price was that Hongkong Land had to bear huge debts for this, and its internal liquidity was exhausted.

If the general environment is good, with a lot of good assets in hand, Jardine will be able to recover soon.

Unfortunately, Jardine chose the wrong time and place.

In 1982, China and Britain started negotiations on the Xiangjiang issue. With the insistence of an old man in the interior, Britain did not take advantage of it, and the return of Xiangjiang became inevitable.

After the news spread, the entire Xiangjiang stock market suddenly fell sharply, among which the foreign capital of Jardine Group fell the most.

Under the influence of the general environment, while Jardine Group's share price fell, it also had to bear the huge loans borrowed for a series of previous acquisitions.

High interest liabilities made Jardine's financial situation even worse.

In this case, Jardine had to repackage all the previous series of acquisitions at a low price.

Heung Kong Telephone and Heung Kong Electric have changed owners one after another. The series of acquisitions before became Jardine Matheson's biggest joke later.

At that time, in any kind of environment, no one could take care of themselves. Even without any foreign enemies, Jardine was still in a mess and needed to sell a lot of assets to recover its blood.

If Yang Chen puts a large sum of money into the stock market at that time, he will directly short sell the major companies under the Jardine Group.

It's so sour, it's absolutely conceivable.

Once he can successfully cut off a piece of fat from Yihe, he will be another man who dares to open fire on the four major foreign companies after the charter king and Li's richest man.

Yang Chen is not afraid of Yihe's giant, but he is sure that the other party will make a big fall on it next.

Different from the previous life, the other party slowly recovered after selling a series of assets, this time Yang Chen was going to dig a huge pit, let the other party fall into the abyss, even if he wanted to climb up, he couldn't get up.

Seeing Yang Chen's confident look, Huang Xizhao seemed to be greatly infected, and the worries on his face disappeared.

After taking a deep breath, Huang Xizhao nodded heavily and said, "Okay, boss, I know what to do."

Since his boss is not afraid, what is there to be afraid of as an employee.

As for the consequences, he doesn't think he can have any consequences, as long as Yang Chen doesn't fail, he can continue to be the general manager of his ATV.

If Yang Chen fell down, at most he would pat his ass and quit being the general manager.

Anyway, based on his situation, there are really not many people like Man Xiangjiang who dare to continue to delegate power to him like Yang Chen and let him continue to be the general manager of ATV.

Since this position can only be secured by Yang Chen, then there is no reason for him to hesitate.

"Done." Huang Xizhao gritted his teeth, and decided to go crazy with Yang Chen.

When facing a powerful enemy, people are either weak or go forward bravely.

Although Jardine is very powerful, the other party does not have much influence in the media industry. The only thing that can threaten ATV is the advertisers.

Now that Chinese businessmen have gradually risen, the British consortium is no longer as strong as before, and many advertisers may not be able to sell Jardine's face.

What's more, ATV's current backstage boss is Yang Chen. As long as he can provide ATV with a steady stream of blood transfusions, even without most of the advertisers, ATV can still live happily.

Seeing Huang Xi's appearance like this, Yang Chen nodded in satisfaction. As the general manager of ATV, if he is still timid with the support of a big boss like him, then he really needs to think about whether he should choose a new general manager up.

Now that ATV is under his control, the era of Li's voice is gone forever, and Yang Chen, who holds [-]% of ATV's shares, doesn't need to worry too much at all.

At present, most of ATV's shareholders have not made a sound yet, and it is clear that it is like watching a good show. If his side shows a little weakness, other shareholders will inevitably jump out.

Instead of facing a bunch of enemies at that time, it is better to be tough from the beginning. When the other shareholders see Jardine, they will not get any benefits, and their small thoughts will naturally withdraw.

Seeing that the car was quite boring, Yang Chen had nothing to say, and asked, "By the way, Manager Huang, how is Director Xu Xiaoming's preparations going?"
