Chapter 28 Those are just a bunch of short-sighted guys
At three o'clock in the afternoon the next day, Su Cheng took Zhong Chuhong to the Huifeng Bank headquarters building in Central.
As for Zhang Qizheng, the two of them had already made an appointment and drove over by themselves.
This is not the first time Su Cheng has come to the headquarters of Huifeng Bank. The last time he came here was when he purchased the stocks of Su Group owned by Yang Zhao and others. After all, the only way to do a large amount of money transaction is to come to the headquarters. Only then can it be done.
However, Su Cheng did not meet with Shen Bi last time, but was received by a VIP business manager.
Su Cheng took Zhong Chuhong and Zhang Qizheng to the bank lobby. After asking about the chairman's office, he took the elevator to the sixth floor.
Because they had an appointment, the three of them arrived at Shen Bi's office smoothly.
At this time, someone had already informed Shen Bi, and he was already waiting at the door.
"This must be Mr. Su Cheng, right? He is really young and promising!" As soon as they met, Shen Bi took the lead in greeting him with a smile.
It is not surprising that Shen Bi knows Su Cheng.
You know, Huifeng Bank is the largest bank in Hong Kong and the number one in the financial industry. Almost all business leaders in Hong Kong dare not offend them easily.
With such strength, Huifeng Bank naturally also has a complete intelligence department.
Although stocks cannot be easily traced because they are controlled and held in multiple accounts, after Tianyuan Investment Management Company announced the shareholding status of Wharf last time, Su, the boss behind Tianyuan, The city has already been investigated by Shen Bi.
"Hello, Mr. Shen Bi." Su Cheng said with a simple smile.
In Xiangjiang, he does not need to compliment anyone, including Shen Bi.
Moreover, Huifeng Bank was invited by them this time. Su Cheng and others were just accepting the invitation.
"Everyone, please come in and sit down." Shen Bi greeted.
Shen Bi's office is more than one hundred square meters. In addition to his office area, there is also a reception room.
After all, those who can negotiate with Shen Bi are almost all big guys in the business world, so naturally this place cannot be too simple.
After everyone sat down, Shen Bi asked: "Do you need anything to drink? I will ask my servants to prepare it for you."
"Let's have a cup of hot water."
"Me too."
"I thought you would want a cup of coffee!" Shen Bi said with a smile.
It seems that Shen Bi is a very easy-to-talk person. If you really think so, you are totally wrong.
People in their position will always smile on the surface, but behind the scenes, they will be destroyed when they should be destroyed, and they will be robbed when they are needed.
Just like the original Hutchison International and Whampoa Dockyard, when Hutchison International and Whampoa Dockyard encountered a crisis, Hutchison's boss Qi Dezun thought that they were all British-owned enterprises, so he asked Huifeng Bank for help. As a result, the crisis was indeed resolved, and Hutchison International and Whampoa Dockyard However, Huifeng Bank took the opportunity to swallow it up, at a cost of only HK$150 million. Hutchison Whampoa boss Qi Dezun was forced to resign sadly. Finally, Hutchison International and Whampoa Dockyard were merged into Hutchison Whampoa. This is the origin of Hutchison Whampoa.
Of course, these are things that happened three years ago. By now, Hutchison Whampoa has already come out of the woods, which also shows how powerful Huifeng Bank is.
"Mr. Su, and Mr. Zhang, you should know why I invited you here, right?" Shen Bi leaned against the sofa and asked with a smile.
"Of course, if my guess is correct, it was Jardine Matheson that asked Huifeng Bank for help to persuade us to give up the idea of holding Wharf." Su Cheng replied with a smile.
Facing the top boss in Xiangjiang like Shen Bi, he didn't panic at all.
"Mr. Su's guess is correct. I have also heard that you directly bid 150 Hong Kong dollars per share. This is considered an arbitrary price. As a mediator, I hope Mr. Su can tell you your bottom line. How can we give up Wharf?" Shen Bi continued.
"Mr. Shen Bi, before answering this question, can I ask you a question?" Su Cheng did not answer directly, but asked rhetorically.
"Oh? Mr. Su, please." Shen Bi suddenly became curious.
The young man in front of me does have a reason for his success. Even facing him, the head of Huifeng Bank, he always shows full confidence.
And self-confidence is an essential condition for success.
"What does Mr. Shen Bi think of the future of Xiangjiang?" Su Cheng asked with a smile.
"The future of Xiangjiang? Of course it is full of hope." Shen Bi answered directly after thinking about it.
“Then why in the past few years, more and more British-funded consortiums have begun to withdraw from Xiangjiang. Some British-funded companies have even directly moved their original headquarters out of Xiangjiang. Even Jardine Matheson & Co. There is the idea of moving some industries out of Hong Kong. It can be seen that the vast majority of British-funded consortiums have no confidence in the future of Hong Kong. Huifeng Bank is the leader of British-funded enterprises in Hong Kong. Why does Mr. Shen Bi do this? Do you think Xiangjiang's future is full of hope?" Su Cheng continued to ask with a smile.
As far as the question is concerned, it sounds a bit aggressive.
"It seems that Mr. Su understands our British-funded enterprises quite well. Indeed, some British-funded enterprises have lost confidence in the future of Hong Kong and have chosen to withdraw from Hong Kong. But that only represents a part of the British-funded enterprises. We will Huifeng Bank is rooted in Xiangjiang, so naturally it will not be like them.
To us, those British consortiums that left Xiangjiang are just a bunch of short-sighted guys. But we, Huifeng Bank, are different. We are based in Xiangjiang, rooted here, and full of confidence in the future of Xiangjiang!"
Shen Bi shook his head and smiled, very magnanimously, as if he was not angry at all because of Su Cheng's aggressiveness.
In fact, Huifeng Bank is also very helpless. They may have thought about evacuating Xiangjiang. However, Huifeng Bank’s largest business is in Xiangjiang. It can be said that if Huifeng Bank leaves Xiangjiang, its strength will be reduced. At least 90% will be lost. In such a situation, how dare they think of evacuating Xiangjiang!
"I very much agree with what Mr. Shen Bi said, but I wonder what Mr. Shen Bi thinks of Chinese-funded enterprises?" Su Cheng continued to ask.
This series of questions seems to have turned this place into Su City's home court.
“I am very optimistic about Chinese-funded enterprises. After all, this is a world owned by the Chinese. Nowadays, some British-funded consortiums are losing confidence in Hong Kong and withdrawing from Hong Kong. This has also caused the strength of British-funded enterprises to gradually decline. , so that the strength of Chinese-funded enterprises will have the opportunity to surpass British-owned enterprises in the future. These are inevitable. Although I am British, I cannot deny that these are realities." Shen Bi sighed and said solemnly.
Su Cheng agreed very much with his words.
It seems that Shen Bi is indeed a famous legendary taipan in Huifeng history. It can be seen from the conversation that he is a person who understands the overall situation.
