Chapter 157： HSBC Banquet

Bao Zixuan still doesn't know that Li Chaoren's plan has been destroyed now, and the two sides have already intersected in this matter. However, on such a small land as Xiangjiang, resources are limited. Collision is a matter of time.

After Li Chaoren received a call from Gu Wei, the general manager of China Resources Company, the two sides discussed it for a while, and finally decided that Li Chaoren would ask Bao Zixuan what he meant at the HSBC banquet today to see if there was any possibility of cooperation.

Bao Zixuan didn't know that there were so many stories in it, and now he was thinking about how to communicate with the staff of HSBC during the banquet. After all, the Yulin Institute of Technology account has been opened to Standard Chartered Bank, although there is no need to explain anything to HSBC. But he still wanted to dig a hole for MacLehose. As for whether HSBC believed it or not, it was Shen Bi's business. There may also be a result of digging a hole and burying himself, but he decided to give it a try; such an opportunity does not come all the time.

Hong Kong Shanghai HSBC Bank Co., Ltd.

Hong Kong Shanghai HSBC Bank Limited is a wholly-owned subsidiary of HSBC Holdings Limited, a founding member of the HSBC Group and its flagship in the Asia-Pacific region. It is also the largest registered bank in Hong Kong and one of the three note-issuing banks in Hong Kong (the other two One is Hua Xia Bank (Hong Kong) and Standard Chartered Bank). Headquartered at HSBC Hong Kong Head Office Building, No. 1 Queen's Road Central, Central, HSBC Shanghai and its subsidiaries mainly set up more than 700 branches and offices in the Asia-Pacific region.

In the 1880s, Ceylon Bank was closed due to the failure of Ceylon coffee. HSBC obtained the current account of the Hong Kong government from the Ceylon Bank and became the quasi-central bank of Hong Kong. In 1872, it was authorized by the British Hong Kong government to issue 1 yuan banknotes to supplement the severe shortage of 1 yuan silver coins.

After World War II, HSBC shouldered the important task of rebuilding Hong Kong's economy. In the two banking booms of the 1960s and 1980s, HSBC was the last savior. On the other hand, HSBC built a head office in Kowloon to handle accounts and services in the New Territories of Kowloon, and HSBC Building in Mongkok, No. 673 Nathan Road, Mongkok, Kowloon, as the second headquarters. In addition, in 1999, HSBC's office building in Tai Kok Tsui Qun Shang is stationed in HSBC Center. There are three HSBC Centers, which belong to the first phase of the MTR Olympic Station Property Development Plan. The original site of HSBC Center was Tai Kok Tsui Ferry Terminal Bus Terminal. Sold to The Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation for 4 billion Hong Kong dollars as the human resources department of the logistics headquarters and moved some of the original Mong Kok branch and part of the business, so it was named HSBC Center.

HSBC is the market leader in Hong Kong. In the deposit market, HSBC Hong Kong has a market share of 24%, while the market share of credit card balances is 29%, and the mortgage and life insurance market share is about 17%. and two percent.

Looking at this quasi-central bank with a detached status in Xiangjiang, Bao Zixuan knew that with his current black cloud strength, HSBC's position in Xiangjiang could not be shaken at all.

After all, the other party has been developing in Xiangjiang for more than 100 years. It can be said that it is deeply ingrained, and the interests inside are also complicated by mistakes. In the hearts of ordinary people, HSBC is the most unlikely company and bank to fail, and it is the last guardian and core fortress of the Hong Kong economy.

Heiyun will enter the banking industry in the future, so HSBC is an impossible topic to avoid. In the future, the strength of HSBC was relatively weak in 1982. At that time, many banks in Hong Kong were affected by the real estate crisis. And HSBC is planning and building its own headquarters building, which requires a lot of money. That period may be an opportunity.

Today, all HSBC executives will participate in this event. After all, this is the most important thank-you banquet for HSBC in a year. When Bao Zixuan came to the door, he saw Mo Keyuan, the manager of the deposit department, welcoming the guests at the door.

Seeing Bao Zixuan coming over, Mo Keyuan stepped forward and said, "Hello, Bao Sheng! Long time no see, you are still in good spirits."

When I bought the jade bracelet last time, this manager Mo can be said to have given enough face, so I have to be polite.

Bao Zixuan: "Hello, Manager Mo, how are you doing recently!"

Mo Keyuan: "It's not bad for you to be a baby boy. I'll take you to the banquet hall."

This time, HSBC held this event in the form of a cold dinner party, which was arranged in the banquet hall of HSBC headquarters. It is usually used as a place for employees to dine and relax, and the overall decoration is not bad.

Seeing that Mo Keyuan brought Bao Zixuan over, Pu Weishi quickly stepped forward and said, "Brother Bao, I've heard your name for a long time. Today, I officially know you."

In fact, Bao Zixuan knew about Pu Weishi, but the two of them had not officially met. Several opportunities were missed.

Bao Zixuan: "Hello, senior! I've heard your name a long time ago! As you said, today is an official acquaintance, and we'll have more time to get together in the future."

Bao Zixuan knew that in a few years, Pu Weishi would replace the retired Shen Bi as the new HSBC executive. Although his ability is inferior to Shen Bi, Pu Weishi is really good in taking care of Oxford alumni. The first credit upgrade of Heiyun was that Pu Weishi knew that Bao Zixuan was also born in Oxford and passed it directly, and he did not discuss it with anyone.

There were too many people on this occasion today, so Pu Weishi couldn't ask Bao Zixuan why he opened his university account with Standard Chartered. This in itself is a bit of questioning the customer's meaning. With the current strength of Heiyun Group, you really don't need to look at anyone's face. You can only play emotional cards with this young man. This is a strategy that Pu Weishi has long thought of.

Pu Weishi: "Brother Bao, most of the senior executives at HSBC are from Oxford, and Heiyun can contact us for any business dealings. Please rest assured in terms of efficiency. And HSBC is the largest bank in Hong Kong and there are many other You can come to us for things that banks can’t do.”

Bao Zixuan knew that Pu Weishi couldn't ask himself directly, but he was not willing to let such a large piece of fat come. In fact, Bao Zixuan was waiting for him to ask! So he said: "Senior, I understand what you said, but I have to take care of all interests in some things I am often not in Xiangjiang, I have to give face to many people, after all, enterprises still need to be in Xiangjiang. developing."

Bao Zixuan didn't say it clearly, he just asked Pu Weishi to doubt it. It's not always a bad thing for me to have some conflicts between HSBC and the Governor.

Pu Weishi: "I know your difficulties, junior, but you can ask HSBC for help with these small things in the future. For partners like you, junior, we will definitely serve you to the end. HSBC can help customers if it is inconvenient to come forward. Don't be polite to my senior."

Bao Zixuan: "Definitely, didn't you know the seniors before? It's not too much trouble, right? In the future, you just don't think I'm annoying."

After a staff member came to Pu Weishi to say a few words to him, Pu Weishi said sorry to Bao Zixuan and left with the staff member.

Bao Zixuan knew that HSBC would definitely invite all major clients over today, and it was impossible to serve him alone. Suddenly I found that I hadn't eaten lunch, and there was something right next to it. Bao Zixuan ate food alone in the corner.

After Li Chaoren came to HSBC, he was looking for Bao Zixuan. He wanted to find this young man to learn about the purpose of buying Tianshuiwei land and the future development efforts.

Tianshuiwei is a project that Cheung Kong has long been optimistic about, and the price of land in the hands of Zhang's family is very cheap. It is to wait for the development of the Hong Kong Island real estate to overheat and then develop this project in partnership with others, where the land reserve can be developed for 20 years or more. This is the company's long-term strategic plan, and now Li Chaoren is very passive because of Bao Zixuan's intrusion.

At this time, I saw Bao Zixuan eating in the corner, and there was no one beside him. How could Li Chaoren miss such a good opportunity!
