Governor Youde was in a bad mood when he came out, and the good mood after communicating with Bao Zixuan was destroyed a lot by Shen Bi. But today's banquet was organized by him, and he had to greet every guest with a smile no matter what, after all, he would still ask them for a while.
When Bao Zixuan was chatting with Huo Yingdong's people, he was still in the room where he was chatting with the richest man Bao; Governor Youde and Shen Bi chatted, and the topic was also about the issue of war bonds.
After You De asked Shen Bi to sit down, he began to communicate with Shen Bi earnestly. You De, who has been an official for many years, knew that he was expensive as the Governor. But after all, I just came to Xiangjiang, so it can be said that I am not familiar with the place. Shen Bi and his situation are completely opposite. This person has been in Xiangjiang for many years, his connections are deeply rooted, and his energy is much larger than he imagined.
Although the rise of the Black Cloud Group has made HSBC's status lower than in the previous life, it still exists as the quasi-central bank of Hong Kong. Investment and loans alone can make a lot of money, and sometimes it doesn't necessarily give the Governor face, especially when it damages HSBC's core interests.
Youde said with a smile, "Thank you, Mr. Shen Bi, for coming to the Governor's Palace. What's your opinion on the current situation?"
Shen Bi was very displeased with some high-spirited attitudes, although Youde felt that he had lowered his attitude; maybe it was more of a psychological effect, at this time, Governor Youde really didn't seem to be high-hearted. The most unbearable thing for him was that the old boy Youde actually invited Bao Zixuan in first, and he had to queue after Bao Zixuan, which made him very unhappy.
Even if Heiyun Group ranks first in Xiangjiang, HSBC is the existence that controls the economic lifeline of Xiangjiang. Now that the government wants to issue war bonds, Youde didn't come to invite him, the God of Wealth, first, but instead treated the stinky brat, Corporal Bao Zixuan, which made Shen Bi very uncomfortable.
Many people think that although Heiyun may have better economic strength, the people of Xiangjiang know it. Their lives can be without the participation of black clouds, but they must be inseparable from HSBC. This has led many people to think that HSBC is still the most influential company in Hong Kong, and Heiyun is still behind him.
At this time, Shen Bi already had an idea in his mind, and he must give Youde a disgrace. Let him know who is the one to look up to in Hong Kong, don't think that he can control everything as the governor.
Shen Bi said with a smile, "Didn't Your Excellency the Governor already ask Bao Zixuan to solve the problem! I believe that with Heiyun's strength, he will be able to easily solve the predicament in front of Xiangjiang."
Youde: "Mr. Shen Bi is joking, Xiangjiang is not only a Heiyun Group. It is not just a Xiangjiang of Bao Zixuan alone. Besides, it is now raising war funds for the British Empire. As the largest bank in Hong Kong, HSBC should have something to say. !"
Shen Bi: "Your Excellency the Governor should communicate well with Bao Zixuan! I think this bond is nothing to Heiyun Group. It's not a problem to let him take the whole package directly."
It stands to reason that Shen Bi would not say that. After all, this is not what a banker should say. But today I don't know which string is not right, it's just seeing You De and Bao Zixuan unhappy.
Youde was a little angry when he heard Shen Bi say this. This was to show that he was not the first to ask for his opinion. What is the matter now? It is a moment that affects the future and destiny of the entire British Empire.
Youde: "Mr. Shen Bi, now I am raising war funds for the empire. I am not looking for you personally, so you have to pay attention to your words."
Shen Bi also knew that what Gang Ang said was a bit too much, but he couldn't show his weakness to You De now; otherwise, it would be looked down upon by people, and no one would take you seriously in the future.
Shen Bi: "Governor Youde, you don't need to talk about the war funds of the British Empire. Whether it is as a senior class of HSBC, or as an old soldier who once fought for the Empire; I believe that no one is more patriotic than me. Imperial War HSBC is bound to raise funds and will not fall behind, you should still care about other companies and people!"
Youde: "So Mr. Shen Bi is preparing to buy war bonds on behalf of HSBC. I don't know how much HSBC is going to buy."
In fact, the reason why Shen Bi is still dissatisfied is because the London side did not underwrite the war bonds to HSBC, but directly handed them over to the Governor's Office for sales. This is also one of the reasons why he is not in a good state today. Not only him, but also other directors of HSBC are not very satisfied. This is contempt for HSBC, and it is also a manifestation of distrust of HSBC. Everyone thinks that although the country at war with Argentina may lose a lot, but if it works well, the bank or business can indeed make a lot of money, and these bonds are an opportunity to make money.
It's not bad that the war bond can not lose money in the hands of Governor Youde. It can be said that Shen Bi's reading is still very accurate.
Shen Bi: "I know that this time, London is planning to release 5 billion pounds of war bonds in Hong Kong. I will buy 250 million pounds on behalf of HSBC. HSBC will never stand idly by when the British Empire encounters difficulties."
"To be honest, if HSBC were the underwriters of these bonds, it would have sold out long ago. It doesn't even need a so-called banquet. This is something that can be done with a phone call."
Hearing Shen Bi's arrogant answer combined with his stinginess and caution when buying bonds. Youde laughed suddenly. At this time, he didn't know how to describe Shen Bi. It stands to reason that being able to work in HSBC's big class for so long shouldn't be at this level. Could it be that the person who came here today is a substitute, but it doesn't look like it? what!
Youde: "Mr. Shen Bi may not know it yet! Just now, Bao Zixuan bought 10 pounds of war bonds on behalf of Heiyun Group in this room. Now HSBC is only equivalent to a quarter of Heiyun's purchases. Don't you think you look down on HSBC yourself!"
"We are both citizens of the British Empire, but now is the time of war. We have to agree to the outside world. Now we know why London does not hand over the underwriting of bonds to HSBC! It is because of the conflict between HSBC and Bao Zixuan. Do you think that if It is HSBC underwriting, will Heiyun Group buy a penny!"
"You still have to think more about what you have done in Xiangjiang, otherwise why do people hate you so much. Today is different from the past, the British Empire may really lose the dominion of Xiangjiang. Now we have more time to have the final say. Strive for some benefits for the empire, don't always think about fighting in the nest."
Although there was absolutely some truth in what Youde said, Shen Bi was still unhappy. After all, Bao Zixuan is the boss. He is just a senior wage earner. Many things are decided by the board of directors. For example, the purchase amount of war bonds this time.
Of course, they are bankers who know the credibility and financial status of the British government, and they all know that this money will basically go to waste.
Now hearing that Bao Zixuan alone bought 1 billion pounds of war bonds, Shen Bi was happy but also a little worried. It seems that the strength of Heiyun Group is getting stronger and stronger, and HSBC is still wandering around Xiangjiang. It is time for the company to go out.
Shen Bi: "Since Bao Zixuan is so generous, then you can find him. If there is a need, HSBC will transfer the money for the purchase of bonds to the account of the Governor's Office at any time. If you don't need it, forget it."
After speaking, he left without looking back. It can be said that he did not give the Governor any face during the whole process After Shen Bi returned to the hall and saw Pu Weishi, he nodded to each other. It can be said that Shen Bi's performance in the study is all fake, how could it be like this at his level.
They got the news when the UK was going to issue 5 billion pounds of war bonds to Hong Kong, and they all knew that this was not a good thing. Hong Kong's rich may not be able to buy it, and this is not a small amount of 5 billion.
This may be a hot potato, and at the same time, it may be an opportunity to make a fortune. It depends on how you look at this issue.
Knowing that HSBC would be the focus of attention, that's why Shen Bi's performance in the study room of the Governor's Palace just now. It is to make Youde feel that selling bonds is very simple. In Shen Bi's opinion, the bonds packaged by HSBC may make money, but Youde does not have such an economic mind.
At this time, Shen Bi's mentality was that he wanted to become an underwriter of war bonds, but he couldn't buy it himself. To put it bluntly, if you want to be a dealer, if you buy it yourself, most of it will be in your hands.
However, underwriting will not have this problem. If it cannot be sold, it can be returned to the British government. There are a thousand reasons for how to get them back, and it's very difficult to get the money out of it by buying outright now.
If you do too much, it is no different from treason, so everyone does not want to take this risk. It can be said that everything is a routine, a routine that does not want to pay, it is a pity not to award a trophy to Shen Bi.
