Rebirth of Hong Kong 1981

   Chapter 655 Temptation

   After chatting politely with Yang Chen, the old crown prince took the people away, leaving only Prince Nayef standing still.

  Hasar, Rashid, and Virgilsh saw Nayef stay, they were looking at Yang Chen with great interest, and they were going to find an excuse to leave.

   However, before the three of them could speak, Nayef had already smiled and said, "Mr. Yang Chen, let's go upstairs and talk."

   When Yang Chen saw this, he didn't hesitate, nodded, and followed the Nayef dynasty upstairs.

  This time, if he wants to accomplish his goal, he must get the consent of the seven Sudri brothers. Only if Nayef and others agree, can he get green dollars from Saudi Arabia.

  Although he can get loans from anywhere, he needs more money to bring Hang Seng Bank out of the small pond in Xiangjiang.

   He has already promised that HSBC will not compete with the other party in business, at least before Shen Cong has stepped down, and before Hang Seng has become really strong, he does not want to break his promise.

  HSBC's business covers Asia, Europe, Africa and other regions, and they have entered most countries. The business involves a wide range of industries, which is difficult for ordinary people to imagine.

   In the later generations, HSBC has frequently reported scandals and was fined every year, but why is it still alive and well?

   There is only one reason, that is, HSBC has reached the point of being too big to fail, or in other words, it cannot fail.

  The development of HSBC has accumulated over time. Hang Seng does not have the time and background. If it wants to develop rapidly and obtain a large amount of funds, it can only find ways from other places.

   In other parts of Asia, and even countries, it is difficult for Hang Seng to obtain a large amount of funds in a short period of time.

   But Saudi Arabia is different. The two oil crises have made Saudi Arabia’s profits all over the place. What does the petrodollar represent? Needless to say, everyone must.

  Saudis are rich, especially their royal family.

   As long as he can get the permission of the seven Sudry brothers, or as long as they don't stop them, he can get a huge amount of cash deposits from other princes or part of the big Saudi family.

   Having enough deposits will be of great benefit to the re-listing of Hang Seng Bank in the future and pushing up the stock price. There is only one basis for the strength of a bank, and that is to see how much money it has.

   If the total assets of Hang Seng Bank are too low, then even if he will make money in the future, the stock price of Hang Seng Bank after its listing will be suppressed or even undervalued.

   This is something he doesn't want to see.

  In an ordinary reception room, after Naif greeted Yang Chen to sit down, he pointed to the mineral water bottle beside him, and said, "This is the only one here, I hope you don't mind."

   Yang Chen raised his eyelids when he heard the words.

   Then he quickly glanced at the surrounding environment, and saw that this reception room is not large, and there are not many things in it. The overall style is very different from the local tyrants of the Saudi royal family.

  Naif didn't look at the strange eyes that Yang Chen showed, and said straightly: "Mr. Yang Chen, Hasal has already told us your purpose, and the loan you need has been approved by the Crown Prince."

After speaking, Nayef paused, looked at Yang Chen with bright eyes, and said with a smile: "Besides, His Royal Highness also promised that the loan you borrowed does not require you to pay a penny, and there will be no repayment. payment time limit.”

   Yang Chen heard this, raised his brows subconsciously, and was silent for a long time before he said, "I think, there should be no free lunch in this world, I don't know if His Royal Highness needs my help?"

  Naif smiled and said: "No hurry, when I'm making lunch more delicious, Mr. Yang Chen will decide whether to eat it or not, what do you think?"

  Yang Chen took a serious look at Prince Nayef. Now that he can say anything, he can only nod with a wry smile.

   "I know that Mr. Yang Chen owns a bank. Now, as the Minister of the Interior of Saudi Arabia, I formally invite Mr. Yang Chen's bank to open a branch in Saudi Arabia.

  In order to show sincerity, the Saudi royal family will deposit 10 billion US dollars in cash deposits on the opening day of the branch. This 10 billion cash deposits, calculated according to the ordinary interest of the World Bank, are all fixed for eight years. "

   "Besides that, from now on, any company under Mr. Yang Chen's company entering Saudi Arabia, except for the petroleum and petrochemical industry, will be exempted from tax for three years, and then will be taxed for ten and a half years..."

   The more he listened, the tighter Yang Chen's brows became. Even if the pie fell on the sky, it looked so big and sounded so tempting.

  To be honest, Yang Chen was a little confused. When he was going upstairs, he could guess something, but now, the more he listened, the more confused he became. He really couldn't figure out what medicine was sold in the Nayef gourd.

  Naif saw Yang Chen's calm expression in front of him, he nodded secretly, and he didn't change his mind. Ordinary people can't do this.

   "Mr. Yang Chen, what do you think of this lunch?"

  Yang Chen came back to his senses, blinked his eyes, and said, "It's very rich, but I don't know if it's delicious or poisonous."

  Naif smiled and said, "Naturally it's delicious, but you need to show a little courage when eating it."

   "Dare to ask His Royal Highness, how much courage does it take to eat this delicious lunch?"

   "First of all, I won't do things like breaking the law, killing people and setting fires. After all, I'm still young, and I'm not very short of money."

Naif was stunned after hearing this, and then laughed: "Mr. Yang Chen, you are very humorous. As the richest man in China, we naturally know that you are not short of money. For the benefits I mentioned above, I just hope that Yang Chen can help us deliver a sentence. , to facilitate a transaction.”

   "Of course, no matter whether the transaction is successful or not, it has nothing to do with Mr. Yang Chen. As long as Mr. Yang Chen contributes, we will not lose any of the benefits that should be given."

   "A message? A deal?" Yang Chen looked puzzled, he really couldn't figure out, what kind of deal, what kind of deal, was worth so much money from the Seventh Sudri brothers.

   couldn't figure it out, Yang Chen didn't agree immediately, so he couldn't help being silent.

   When Prince Nayef saw this, he didn't urge him, he sat quietly by the side, quietly waiting for Yang Chen to come back to his senses.

   To be honest, the benefits he just promised are really nothing to Saudi Arabia. He doesn't care about tax exemptions or half taxes.

  Saudi Arabia's fiscal revenue has always depended on oil, and other industries are difficult to develop effectively due to environmental reasons. Saudi Arabia has not set high tariffs on things that need to be imported.

  The wool comes from the sheep, and the tariffs are raised. In the end, it is the Saudi people who suffer. How can outsiders make money, and how to make money.

  So, tax-free and half-tax, Naif didn't care at all.

   As for the deposit of 10 billion US dollars, it is not a big deal. The Saudi royal family has money. Where is this money stored? Is it true that Yang Chen dares to steal the Saudi royal family's deposit?
