The rise of Hong Kong's wealthy families

A week later, He Jiahao received an invitation from Li Jiacheng. As for what to talk about, it was self-evident.

"Li Jiacheng is finally anxious. I'm afraid Hepu International was regarded as his treasure before." He Jiahao sat on the leather chair and smiled happily.

Huo Jianning was sitting across from him, his face a little calm, as if he was thinking about something. After a few seconds, he said, "Boss, according to the information I collected, Li Jiacheng is not as simple as he appears. I'm afraid he has some back-up plans. "

The legendary figure in the previous life is naturally not simple.

He Jiahao snorted in his heart, but said seriously on his face, "Well, it's hard for us to guess how he will move. We can only be defensive. Only after he makes a move can we guess his method."

"There is another HSBC, which is very likely to start from Standard Chartered Bank." Huo Jianning reminded.

"I've already guessed it. I've told Wan Guo Baotong Bank in advance that if Standard Chartered Bank can't sustain it, we won't be too passive."

"Yellow River Industrial, adding HSBC, is really a bit stressful." Huo Jianning smiled bitterly. HSBC is Hong Kong's 'quasi central bank', and its deterrence is too strong.

He Jiahao smiled slightly, "Let's fight first, and then admit defeat if you can't beat me."

He is still young, and losing to HSBC is not a shame. Even losing to Li Jiacheng is nothing to laugh at. However, 'it is never too late for a gentleman to take revenge.' The situation must be recovered in the future.

"Yes, I guess Li Jiacheng hopes that you, boss, will buy him a favor."

He Jiahao sneered, "Favors? When he supported the Kane family, he didn't show favors to me. Even if HSBC supports him this time, I will bite off a piece of flesh."

As the saying goes, there is no father or son in business, not to mention that Li Jiacheng has no relationship with him at all.

Wednesday, March 14

Mandarin Oriental Hotel Cafe, where Ho Ka-Ho and Li Ka-shing met.

"He Sheng, last time we had a quick meeting, today we have a chance to have a good talk." Li Jiacheng said with a smile, as if there was nothing like the Kane family.

"Li Sheng is a busy man, so of course he doesn't have time." He Jiahao also responded with a smile.

After the two sat down, He Jiahao was the first to ask, "Is it because of the Kane family that Li Sheng asked me out?"

When talking about things with people like Li Jiacheng, you naturally have to take the initiative.

"I feel sorry for He Sheng regarding the Kane family. It's all because I trusted Mr. Mousse too much, which caused He Sheng to suffer a lot." Li Jiacheng apologized sincerely.

He is indeed a hero, capable of bending and stretching.

He Jiahao sighed in his heart, but his expression remained calm as he said, "In that case, please help Li Sheng to help me convince the Kane family."

Hearing this, Li Jiacheng's displeasure flashed away, and he said with a smile, "Okay, I'll have a talk with Mr. Mousse. I heard that He Sheng has recently acquired shares of Hepu International Company. I wonder how much he has acquired?"

"23% has been acquired a few days ago, what? Is Li Sheng also interested in Hepu International Company?" He Jiahao asked with a smile.

When he heard '23%', Li Jiacheng was stunned, thought for a moment, and then said, "Yes, I am already discussing with HSBC Bank about the sale of Hepu International Company's equity."

"Then Li Sheng plans to stop? Or do you want to compete with me?" He Jiahao looked directly at Li Jiacheng, I have already acquired 23%, and you don't even have a hair, and I still want you to stop dreaming.

"He Sheng, when I gave up Wharf, I was already discussing with HSBC about the equity transfer of Hepu International Company." Li Jiacheng said with a guilty conscience.

"Didn't Li Sheng haven't discussed it with HSBC yet? And I already have 23% of the shares of Hepu International Company, which is more than the ordinary shares of HSBC. This is a business involving 2 billion. Li Sheng." He Jiahao asked back.

"He Sheng, I am willing to buy the stocks you hold at 30 yuan per share." Li Jiacheng gritted his teeth and said.

"Oh, Li Sheng wants to buy it in cash?" He Jiahao asked with interest. He didn't believe that Li Jiacheng could come up with 2.7 billion in cash.

"He Sheng, I don't have such cash for the time being. Can I pay it off within two years? Don't worry, I will definitely pay the interest." Li Jiacheng spoke a little anxiously.

"Li Sheng, please forgive me for being frank. You are a free throw wolf. When you take over Hepu International, if you use Hepu International's money to pay me back, wouldn't it be a joke? Then I can use it too. The cash purchase of HSBC shares that Li Sheng received was also 30 yuan per share. Li Sheng, what do you think?" He Jiahao said aggressively.

In his previous life, Li Jiacheng used Hepu International's money to acquire the shares held by HSBC Bank. It was called an acquisition that did not cost a penny by the media. Of course, He Jiahao knew this very well.

"How can He Sheng give up the acquisition?" Li Jiacheng sighed.

"What conditions does Li Sheng need to give up?" He Jiahao asked back.

The atmosphere became tense and a war seemed imminent.

"It seems that neither He Sheng nor I can convince the other." Li Jiacheng said with a wry smile.

In fact, He Jiahao's chest was already filled with a sigh of relief, especially when he saw Li Jiacheng's rather calm face, he was just trying his best to suppress it.

"It seems so."

As a result, the discussion ended unhappily.

He Jiahao did not hesitate and immediately went to Standard Chartered Bank to meet Charles, the chief executive of Standard Chartered Bank.

"Hello, Mr. Charles! I am He Jiahao." He Jiahao stepped forward and shook hands with the bearded white man.

Charles smiled modestly and said, "Mr. He, we finally meet. You are a big customer of our Standard Chartered Bank."

"Mr. Charles, time is pressing. Let me tell the truth. I want to acquire Hepu International Company. Can Standard Chartered Bank provide me with a loan?" He Jiahao stopped smiling and asked Charles seriously.

Li Jiacheng will never put his hope in the next negotiation. He is definitely taking action at this time. He Jiahao cannot lag behind others. This is also a race against time. Whoever holds more equity will be the first to gain control.

"Of course." Charles agreed without thinking.

It may be that the benefits involved prevented Charles from considering the difficulties behind it.

In his previous life, Li Jiacheng only obtained the equity of Hepu International Company from HSBC Bank in September. Now there is a butterfly effect, and it is certain to get it early.

"I hope they haven't completely reached an agreement and Shen Bi hasn't made up his mind, so things will be easier to handle." He Jiahao sighed.

Promoting Li Jiacheng is a strategy Shen Bi learned from his former chief executive, Sandus. Sandus supported Bao Yugang to become the world's shipping king, allowing HSBC to completely overtake Standard Chartered Bank and Dali Bank and become Hong Kong's 'quasi central bank' , and Shen Bi wants to gain the favor of the north through Li Jiacheng, take the opportunity to grow, become a world-class bank, and get rid of the coercion of Z government.

In He Jiahao's view, Shen Bi is indeed one of the outstanding executives of HSBC Bank. His vision is amazing and he can see all this. Now many Chinese are afraid, but an Englishman can be so courageous. I believe that many people in the north are ashamed. .

That's why He Jiahao is worried about HSBC's next move. After all, they are masters in the banking and financial circles and know where their "seven inches" are.
