Chapter 255 Shen Bi provides clues
Such a simple truth, New Bijian believes that Shen Bi will not fail to understand that once foreign capital becomes big in Hong Kong, British-funded companies such as HSBC and Jardine Matheson will inevitably bear the brunt.
Its status may be seriously affected.
However, it is a pity that Niu Bijian's long speech did not make Shen Bi show the slightest concern.
Just when Niu Bijian was filled with disappointment, he was about to get up and leave.
Shen Bi, who had been silent until now, finally spoke.
"Mr. Niu Bijian, I need to correct you on what you just said. HSBC has not violated the previous agreement. Even if this matter comes to the Governor, HSBC is not afraid."
“Press?” Niu Bijian was stunned when he heard this, and then a flash of light flashed in his eyes, and he quickly said: “What General Manager Shen means is that this matter”
Before New Bijian could finish his words, Shen Bi raised his hand and interrupted: "Mr. New Bijian, it doesn't matter what I mean. I just reminded Mr. New Bijian that HSBC has not violated the agreement."
"It's getting late. If Mr. Niu Bijian has nothing to do, please come back. I still have a lot of work to do here, so I won't continue to entertain you."
After Shen Bi said this, he stretched out his hand to signal Niu Bijian to leave.
Like Standard Chartered Bank, Chen Yi is now the major shareholder of HSBC. Whether he likes it or not, from Shen Bi's own standpoint and from HSBC's standpoint, he must choose Chen Yi's side.
Unless Chen Yi really annexes Jardine and becomes a threat to HSBC, HSBC will make changes.
Otherwise, Shen Bi can only choose to protect his own major shareholder, otherwise he may be blocked by Boss Chen if he wants to take over Sha Ya's position in the future.
A year ago, Chen Yi definitely did not have such strength. However, as Chen Yi increased his stake in HSBC and became the actual major shareholder of HSBC, coupled with his position as a director on the other party's board of directors, these two identities combined, Enough to influence the board of directors' decision-making.
Even Sha Ya, as the chairman and chairman of the board of directors of HSBC, cannot ignore Chen Yi's opinion now. This change in status makes Shen Bi have to think about his own future.
Chen Yi's current goals are only the Wharf and Kinmen Construction companies. Even if Jardine really loses these two companies, it will only be a hamstring injury at most, and it will not be devastated and the vitality will be severely damaged.
As for the problems with Citibank and Mitsubishi Bank, Shen Bi has already figured it out. This time the two banks helped Boss Chen just to build a reputation so that they could further develop their business in Xiangjiang.
Although the two foreign-funded enterprises are strong, if they want to expand in Xiangjiang, strength alone is not enough.
Chinese people have always been very conservative in their thinking. Look at the current financial industry in Hong Kong. How many foreign banks have really developed?
Except for HSBC and Standard Chartered Bank, two banks with the right to issue Hong Kong dollar notes, other British banks, including Jardine Matheson, are not very popular among the Chinese.
Whether it is for loans or cooperation, the Chinese first choice must be Chinese banks such as Hang Seng Bank and Bank of East Asia, followed by British banks such as HSBC and Standard Chartered Bank, and finally foreign banks such as Citibank and Mitsubishi Bank.
Therefore, it is not difficult for foreign banks to gain a foothold in Xiangjiang. They not only have to face local Chinese banks with geographical advantages, but also compete with British banks that are not weak.
Now Chen Yi is not alone. He is backed by the Lee family. Once there is a gap between HSBC and HSBC, foreign banks such as Citibank and Mitsubishi Bank will not let go of the opportunity.
Now Chen Yi is famous and influential in Xiangjiang, and the Lee family has the background and connections. Together, the two will be attracted by powerful giants such as Citibank and Mitsubishi Bank.
When the three parties cooperate, that will be the biggest enemy of British capital such as HSBC, so whether it is Sha Ya or Shen Bi, as long as Chen Yi does not touch their bottom line, they will always favor Boss Chen.
As the saying goes, a dead Taoist friend will not die a poor Taoist.
What does Yihe's life and death have to do with them?
Furthermore, considering Yihe's strength, Shen Bi did not think that Niu Bijian and others were really at their wits' end.
“In that case, I won't bother Mr. Shen.”
Niu Bijian left Shen Bi's office with a smile on his face. Although he did not get any information from Shen Bi about the person behind the scenes, Shen Bi's words just now were enough for him to confirm his previous guesses.
The six major banks are targeting Jardine Matheson Group this time because there is a mastermind behind the scenes, and this mastermind is not an insider of the six major banks.
As for why he is so sure, the reason is simple. If one of the six major banks wants to deal with Jardine Matheson Group, then HSBC will never cooperate.
Only people who are not from the six major banks can entrust the six major banks to initiate the acquisition of Jardine Matheson Group at the same time without being rejected by the banks.
As for who is the principal behind the six major banks, Niu Bijian is not sure yet, but now that he has clues, it will be much easier to find out who is behind the scenes.
After Niu Bijian left, Shen Bi came to Sha Ya's office.
After listening to Shen Bi's report, Sha Ya closed the document in her hand, leaned on the boss's chair, and said with a smile: "I believe that within two days, Yihe will find Chen Sheng. Come, this farce is almost over."
"Chairman, if Chen Sheng finds out." Shen Bi's face showed a hint of worry, as if he was afraid that he would be reminded and Chen Yi would hide something from him if he found out.
Sha Ya comforted her at the right time: "Don't worry, you didn't tell Nu Bijian anything. Even if Chen Sheng knew about it, it would be fine. The reason why I asked you to provide clues to Nu Bijian was to make Chen Sheng stop."
“People are animals that are not easily satisfied. If Chen Sheng is kept hidden behind the scenes and Yihe cannot figure out his details, what will happen after he eats the Wharf and the Golden Gate Building and then comes up with other ideas?”
Shen Bi listened and nodded thoughtfully.
As Sha Ya said, people are animals that are not easily satisfied. Once Chen Yi is allowed to easily win the Wharf and Kinmen Building, the other party is likely to be greedy.
Sha Ya picked up the tea cup on the table and took a sip. Without waiting for Shen Bi's reply, she said, "Okay, if you have nothing to do, just keep busy."
“Chen Sheng, please keep an eye on him. Once you capture the Wharf and Kinmen buildings, advise Chen Sheng to stop in time.”
“Okay, Chairman, I'll go down first.”
"Press"
Sha Ya responded and watched Shen Bi leave the office.
