Rebirth of Hong Kong 1981

   Chapter 562 Layout

  The internal affairs of Hang Seng Bank, Yang Chen has no interest in managing it for the time being, and it is not something that can be managed in a day or two when it comes to the financial industry.

   Even if Hang Seng Bank adjusts its main business, it will take time. This process may take one or two years, or it may take three or five years.

   Moreover, there is not much difference between investment banks and commercial banks, the main thing is to see which party can bring more benefits to the bank.

  Xiangjiang has a population of several million and only so many resources. There is a lot of competition, and the plate is so big. Instead of wasting time and energy here, it is better to expand.

   Yang Chen pressed his chin, and said to Zheng Hiquan, "You put down the things at hand for the time being, I have something for you to do here."

   Zheng Hiquan felt nervous when he heard the words, and couldn't help but ask, "What does the boss want me to do?"

Seeing Zheng Hiquan's anxious appearance, Yang Chen smiled and said, "You don't have to worry, I didn't want you to leave Hang Seng Bank, you were the deputy general manager, I just helped you up, and your **** was still warm. Where can I get you down?"

   Zheng Hiquan's face turned red when he heard it, and it's no wonder he was in a hurry. He finally took the position of Deputy General Manager of Hang Seng Bank, where he was willing to sit for a few days and then come down.

   Seeing him like this, Yang Chen didn't have time to make fun of him, so he just said, "Next, I need you to use Hang Seng Bank's channels to help me figure out the foundation of Jardine Land. Next, I'm going to use Jardine for surgery."

  Under Zheng Hiquan's confused expression, Yang Chen looked at him indifferently, "And the one who took the knife is you."

  'Gulu...' Zheng Hiquan swallowed several saliva all at once. After a while, he came back to his senses and stammered, "Boss, you"

   As soon as Zheng Hiquan opened his mouth, he was interrupted directly by Yang Chen, "You heard right, I'm just going to do something to the Jardine Group."

   "If you paid attention, you should have noticed that Jardine is now a paper tiger who is strong on the outside and hard at work. Since the charter king abandoned his ship and docked at the Wharf, it is not difficult to see that there has been a problem inside the Jardine."

   "And this problem is not a problem with Jardine's management, but is caused by the ownership of Xiangjiang."

   "In the early years, most of Jardine's properties in the inland were confiscated by the inland. Therefore, the top executives of the Jardine Group have always been afraid of the inland.

  Especially in the 1970s, the topic of taking back Xiangjiang was frequently raised in the inland side, and Yihe lost confidence in Xiangjiang and was not very active.

   And the top management of Jardine is the big bank's policy of "profit in Hong Kong and develop overseas", and vigorously expand overseas business.

However, Jardine's series of actions took too many steps. Although the plan was implemented smoothly, and now Jardine has business expansion in more than 20 countries overseas, most of the industries involved have low returns. The earnings time is too long, resulting in a long-term shortage of funds. "

"If it's just like this, it's fine, but the inland began to reform and open up in 1978, and the issue of Xiangjiang's ownership has been put on the agenda again. imminent.

If    is not resolved, then the next development of Xiangjiang will not be guaranteed.

   Under the strength of the inland, Xiangjiang Yingzi was in a state of panic, and Huazi had to defend passively from the early days, but now he has the confidence to fight back.

  HSBC has also helped charter king and Li Chaoren to settle in Wharf and Hutchison to show its position. "

   "The Wharf was seized, which has made Jardine clear about its own disadvantages. In the past two years, Jardine's actions were taken for granted by the Taipan Wang."

At this time, Zheng Hiquan had recovered from his surprise, and after listening to Yang Chen's opinion, he couldn't help nodding his head and said, "Indeed, Jardine and Landmark are mutually controlling, although it seems that the two companies can be guaranteed on the surface. It is not attacked by the outside world, but once one of them is controlled, it will lose control of the other company at the same time.

Especially now that Jardine's share price is subject to huge fluctuations in the Hang Seng Index, if the next negotiation between the UK and the mainland fails to achieve the expected results, the Jardine's share price may fall further. It's not that there is no one who can start with it. "

   Having said that, Zheng Hiquan looked at Yang Chen on the opposite side. Not only is his boss capable of making money, but he has bigger ambitions than anyone else. Now he doesn't even care about a big British consortium like Jardine.

   This made him both excited and worried.

Zheng Hiquan: "Boss, if you want to take action against Jardine, you can wait for the news from the mainland. As long as the mainland does not give in on the Hong Kong issue, then Jardine's stock price will fall further. Winning the Jardine will also give you a greater grasp.”

  Yang Chen listened to Zheng Hiquan's suggestion, and immediately shook his head and said, "No, neither of the two companies, Jardine and Landmark, will be able to win in a short period of time."

   He knew that after the issue of the ownership of Xiangjiang in later generations was resolved, Jardine committed various suicides, and none of them dared to move the Jardine Consortium.

   This is not a question of money, but simply not being able to do it.

  Because the Governor's Office does not allow it, the British government does not allow it.

  After all, in the early years, Yihe contributed a lot to the economic development of Xiangjiang. Even if Yihe moved out of Xiangjiang later and put forward various unreasonable conditions, the Governor’s Office turned a blind eye.

   Another one, Jardine and Landmark have reached 40% mutual control, what is the concept?

  Once someone launches an acquisition of any of them, then Jardine only needs to abandon one or two of its holding companies, withdraw enough funds, and buy back 10% of the shares in the market, which can easily resist the vicious acquisition from the outside world.

It is impossible for him to learn how to increase the price several times like the charter king. They hold 40% of the shares, and then they only need to acquire 10% to be invincible, but he needs to acquire more than 40% of the shares. Only half of the shares can be controlled by Jardine.

   This is a bit unrealistic, much less possible.

  The reason why the charter king was able to get the Wharf at the beginning was mainly due to Li Chaoren's 20 million shares of Wharf, apart from the strong support of HSBC and the fact that Jardine's continued Wharf shares were not many.

   For Wharf, Li Chaoren was greedy at first, but unfortunately, he was finally noticed by Yihe.

At that time, Li Chaoren's Changshi was only a few hundred million in market value, and he had no ability to compete with the giant Jardine. There was no way. In the end, Li Chaoren could only sell his shares to the charter king, earning personal favors, but also obtaining a generous reward.

   Competing with Jardine for the Wharf, the charter king finally won the face and lost the money.

   Fortunately, in the end, the Wharf was in hand, and the charter king successfully abandoned the ship and docked.
