I lost my vegetative state, and I became the richest man in the world

Chapter 1364 Huifeng Bank’s new senior class!
Sachs's shock therapy was extremely poisonous, but at this time, the Goose Country and even the former Sulian allies had no choice but to drink it.

Yang Ming and Li Jun talked about shock therapy in Goose Country, and he thought of the northeastern part of the country.

Although the Northeast's economy had developed to the point where it had to change at this time, it was similar to the current situation in Goose Country, but it was different.

Currently, the Northeast is dominated by state-owned enterprises, but if we follow the shock therapy approach, will it end up like the goose country, or even the franchise countries?

Of course, Yang Ming knew that the difference between the Northeast and the Northeast was that it was only a part of the country, while the shock therapy used by the Goose Country and the franchise countries was aimed at their own national economies.

Therefore, now that Yang Ming and Li Jun were talking about the situation in Goose Country, in addition to the future economic layout of Goose Country, Yang Ming also thought about the old man and the Northeast.

In other words, Yang Ming is in favor of making changes to the current development of Northeast China.

Therefore, Yang Ming proposed to disperse the state-owned enterprises in the Northeast to other provinces and cities in the country, so as to avoid the loss of state-owned assets and avoid the shock therapy economy of Goose Country.

Then let foreign investment be introduced to invigorate the economic vitality of that area.

Yang Ming and Li Jun talked for more than an hour.

After Li Jun went back to rest.

After Yang Ming finished dinner that night, he wrote what he learned about the economic policy of shock therapy in the letter.

He writes in great detail.

Because of history, Yang Ming really studied shock therapy.

Now after he has written it, he has his bodyguard send it to Yanjing immediately.

Then let Tang Yun from Yanjing fly to Shanghai to meet the old gentleman.

The next morning.

After Tang Yun gave the letter to the old gentleman.

Tang Yun flew to Xiangjiang to meet Yang Ming.

"Boss, I gave the letter to the old gentleman."

"What did the old gentleman say at that time?"

"He didn't say anything. Maybe the letter you wrote was too long."

The old gentleman really hasn't had time to see it yet.

However, Yang Ming knew that the old gentleman was a very powerful person, even though he was very old.

Since Tang Yun sent the letter to the old gentleman, there is no other problem.

Today is already New Year's Eve.

At this time, Barlow and Keira, who were far away in London, returned.

Barlow is now the head of Imperial's London and Western and Northern Europe operations.

Barlow talked about the current situation there.

Basically what Yang Ming knows.

"After the New Year, I will go to Goose Country first, and then fly to London."

Yang Ming hasn't been to London for some time.

Naturally, this trip to London has something very important to do.

in the afternoon.

Key executives of Imperial Group.

Including, Imperial Group Cabinet General Manager Merisi and his wife, Cabinet Deputy General Manager Huo Jianning and his wife, as well as Ma Shimin, Wei Li, Wei Peter, Xia Boyin and others all came to attend tonight's New Year's Eve banquet.

Now Li Caixin has gone to Far East City.

At this time, Li Caixin was doing a lot of things in Far East City, and he would not be able to come back from this New Year's Eve banquet.

In addition to the major executives of the Imperial Group.

Elite Chinese executives such as Yuan Tianfan and his wife, namely Yuan Tianfan and Li Huimin, Zheng Haiquan, Liang Botao, Liang Jinsong, etc. all brought their families to attend the New Year's Eve banquet.

In addition, the Governor of Xiangjiang, Zhong Yijie, and his wife also came.

When Zhong Yijie came over, Yang Ming and Zhong Yijie went to the study upstairs.

Logically speaking, this year is 1992, which is five years away from 97.

Historically, in July this year, the last governor of Xiangjiang was replaced.

However, since the 80s, the Governor of Xiangjiang has changed and is no longer the same as in history.

At this time, Yang Ming felt that it was good for Zhong Yijie to stay in this position.

"Mr. Governor, don't worry. I am planning to go to London this time to discuss the next Governor. When the time comes, you will still be the Governor."

In other words, Yang Ming still supports Zhong Yijie.

And Zhong Yijie felt relieved with Yang Ming's support.

After talking about this matter.

Yang Ming looked at Zhong Yijie and said, "Mr. Governor, I think Hong Kong still lacks iconic parks."

Hong Kong lacks iconic parks?

Zhong Yijie didn't know for a moment what Sir Yang meant by this sentence.
In Yang Ming's view, Xiangjiang still needs to develop, and it can no longer follow the original path.

Yang Ming and Zhong Yijie came to the map of Xiangjiang.

This map of Xiangjiang is very detailed, including every road clearly marked.

"here."

The place Yang Ming was referring to was Hong Kong Kai Tak International Airport.

Since the new Xiangjiang International Airport was officially put into operation, international flights have taken off or landed at the Xiangjiang New International Airport.As for the original Hong Kong Kai Tak International Airport, it was used as a flight from Hong Kong to China.

However, Yang Ming knew that when the second and third phases of the new Xiangjiang International Airport were opened, domestic flights would also be operated at the new Xiangjiang International Airport.

The Hong Kong Kai Tak International Airport is officially closed.

Historically, it was the same, but after the closure of the Hong Kong Kai Tak International Airport, it became the core and most valuable part of the land in the urban area of ​​Hong Kong.

Then this place was divided among the four major families in Xiangjiang in history.

Originally, according to Yang Ming's plan, the real estate company under the Empire Group was prepared to swallow up the land at Xiangjiang Kai Tak International Airport.

Because the location there is really good.

However, Yang Ming knew that Xiangjiang still lacked parks, even large parks.

This also leads to the fact that the city of Xiangjiang becomes more depressed as the population increases.

Historically, the population of Pengcheng was much larger than that of Xiangjiang.

But why doesn't Pengcheng feel like that?

It is precisely because Pengcheng is full of parks.

However, it is difficult to find such a place in Xiangjiang.

"This place covers an area of ​​2.1 square kilometers, equivalent to 3150 acres of land. Of course, Hong Kong can still reclaim land at Kai Tak International Airport to expand the area to 5000 acres. And the most famous park in the world, New York Central The park area is about 5000 acres. In other words, the area of ​​this place, after reclamation and expansion, is about the same size as New York's Central Park."

"Sir Yang, do you mean to use this place to build a Central Park in Hong Kong?"

Zhong Yijie asked in disbelief.

After all, much of Xiangjiang's finance before this was based on selling land.

The Xiangjiang Kai Tak International Airport is an increasingly valuable piece of land. According to the plan of the Governor's Office, this piece of land will be gradually sold in exchange for fiscal revenue.

Now Sir Yang actually wants to turn this place into the Central Park of Hong Kong.

This is really too luxurious!

"Yes, it is to build this place into the Central Park of Xiangjiang. This will actually have great benefits for the influence of Xiangjiang and the tourism industry. It can also bring a more comfortable place for the citizens of Xiangjiang."

Actually.

There are still many mountains in Xiangjiang.

In addition to Lantau Island, which has been blown up and developed by the Imperial Group, Repulse Bay, where he lives, is also a mountain. However, many mountains in Xiangjiang have been occupied by wealthy people, and they have basically been developed into private mansions.

The place where ordinary people can go is probably the Peak of Victoria Peak.

It is precisely because of that that there are not many parks in Xiangjiang.

And now Yang Ming proposes to build a Central Park belonging to Xiangjiang.

He did think about it for a long time.

First, he still does it for the majority of the citizens.Secondly, for the future influence of Hong Kong.

Thirdly, for Hong Kong’s tourism industry.

Moreover, if it is photographed by real estate developers, it can only be developed into high-end residential areas, high-end commercial areas, office buildings, etc.

This is not what Yang Ming is pursuing.

Zhong Yijie didn't know what Sir Yang was thinking.

For the Governor's Mansion and even the future of Xiangjiang, this means sacrificing one's own interests.

After all, the Governor's Mansion relies on selling land here to increase fiscal revenue.

"Mr. Governor, now there are many more places in Xiangjiang where taxes can be collected. The tax revenue provided by Xiangjiang Science and Technology City alone is twice the previous tax revenue. Why rely on this method of selling land to obtain tax revenue."

In addition, taxes on other aspects of Hong Kong are also getting higher and higher, which is enough to support the current expenses of the Government House of Hong Kong.

Zhong Yijie discovered that it was the same.

In the past, relying solely on the real estate industry, taxation was relatively simple.

However, now that Xiangjiang has developed into science and technology and even multiple industries, taxes are collected from multiple aspects, which is much better than the previous taxation from the real estate industry alone.

The two sides negotiated.

"Sir Yang, in that case, let's talk within the Governor's Mansion first. I also plan to leave some gifts to Xiangjiang as the last Governor. I think this Xiangjiang Central Park can be considered the best gift."

Of course, Zhong Yijie knew it very well.

This was proposed by Sir Yang.

Moreover, when Sir Yang proposed it, Zhong Yijie had to consider it carefully.

After the two sides negotiated.

Yang Ming learned that Shen Bi had arrived.

At this time, Shen Bi was 65 years old. He was wearing a suit and still looked very energetic.

Now he is also the manager of Huifeng Bank.

However, since Huifeng Bank was acquired by the Imperial Group, Shen Bi also knew that things were completely different.

Now Huifeng Bank can only be regarded as a part of the Imperial Group Financial Group.

Because Imperial Group has more than one bank.

Some time ago, the Imperial Group announced the establishment of Far East City. Following this, many major banks in Hong Kong moved north to Far East City.

Including Huifeng Bank, Hengxuan Bank, Overseas Trust Bank, Zada ​​Bank, etc., they all went to Far East City.

In addition, the Far East Governor's Palace has officially established the Far East Bank in Far East City.

Far East Bank is a joint venture between Imperial Group and its major banks. In other words, Huifeng Bank is now also a shareholder of Far East Bank.

In Shen Bi's view, the Imperial Group and Sir Yang's development of Far East City is indeed very promising.

However, he is now 65 years old and is not as good as before. Normally, he would have retired at the age of 60, but now he has worked for five more years.

"boss."

Shen Bi came in and said.

Yang Ming pulled Shen Bi.

Yang Ming knew very well that although Shen Bi was older, he was still very important to him.

"Mr. Shen."

After the two of them sat down.

"Boss, Pu Weishi has successfully acquired Mitlan Bank some time ago."

Mitlan Bank is one of the four major banking groups in Country Y. Before this, Yang Ming hoped to swallow up Mitlan Bank as he had done historically.

Therefore, at Shen Bi's suggestion, Yang Ming called back Pu Weishi, the general manager of Ocean Millan Bank in Country M, and then asked him to go to London to acquire Millan Bank.

Historically, in 1987, Huifeng Bank purchased 14.9% of the shares of Mitlan Bank. Through a cooperation agreement, Huifeng and Mitlan transferred business to each other.

In 1989, Mitland launched First Direct, creating a new concept of telephone financial management and providing 365-hour telephone personal financial services, 24 days a year. This was one of the most significant developments at the time.

In July 1992, Huifeng Holdings Co., Ltd. acquired all the shares of Midland Bank for 7 billion pounds, which was one of the largest acquisitions in banking history.

The impact of this acquisition is as follows. It provides Huifeng Group with an important base in Europe to coordinate its business in Asia and the Americas.However, in 1991, Midland Bank's performance was extremely ugly, with losses reaching 4900 million pounds and bad debt provisions reaching 9 million pounds. After Huifeng acquired Midland, it reorganized its business and brought Midland's performance back on track.

After Huifeng Holdings wholly owned Bank of Midland, Bank of Midland, one of the constituent stocks of the FTSE 100 Index, was delisted from the London Stock Exchange, and Huifeng Holdings was able to become a constituent stock of the FTSE 100 Index.

Huifeng Holdings, registered in Country Y, moved its general management office from Xiangjiang to London in 1993 in accordance with the regulations of the regulatory authorities of Country Y.

At first, Huifeng Holdings directly held shares in Huifeng Bank. In 1993, it changed to indirect holdings (via an intermediary holding company) and directly held shares in Bank of Midland.

The Asian financial crisis occurred in 1997, but Bank Mitlan's performance was still impressive, so that Huifeng's business and performance were not affected.In order to match the unified brand of Huifeng Group, Midland Bank was renamed Y Guo Huifeng Bank in 1999.

It can be said that in history, after Pu Weishi succeeded Shen Bi and became the chief executive of Huifeng Bank, he has been preparing for the post-97 generation, that is, first acquiring the Bank of Midland, and then moving Huifeng Bank's registered place in Hong Kong to London. Finally, Huifeng Bank's headquarters in Xiangjiang was moved to London.

In fact, it also relied on Mitlan Bank.

However, this time Yang Ming asked Pu Weishi to acquire Bank of Midland not to move the headquarters of Huifeng Bank from Xiangjiang to London.

He wanted to strengthen the financial strength of the Imperial Group in Country Y and Europe.

Today, Pu Weishi still wants to fully acquire the Bank of Midland as he did in history, and even earlier than in history.

This shows that Pu Weishi is still very capable.

"Boss, I want to retire and let Pu Weishi come back to take over my position at Huifeng Bank."

Shen Bi has long wanted to retire.

Anyway, he has made enough over the years.

Moreover, he already felt a little powerless.

Huifeng Bank's group size has become many times larger than in the 80s, and it has spread all over the world.

"Mr. Shen, I still think you can't live without Huifeng Bank."

Yang Ming looked at him and said.

"Boss, I have limited physical strength and limited energy now. It's okay for me to serve as a deputy position, but it's no longer possible for me to hold a full-time job."

In fact, it was the Imperial Group that swallowed up Huifeng Bank, which was a big blow to Shen Bi.

However, he also thought clearly that with the strength of Imperial Group and Sir Yang, it seemed normal to swallow up Huifeng Bank.

"Mr. Shen, in that case, call Guard Pu back to see me. Since I promised him, I can do it."

The two sides negotiated.

Yang Ming knew that Shen Bi was indeed going to withdraw from the financial world in Xiangjiang this time.

Of course, Yang Ming is still prepared to let Shen Bi serve as deputy general manager of Huifeng Bank and a member of the Imperial Group's cabinet.

Shen Bi left.

Yang Ming called over Mailisi, Huo Jianning, Ma Shimin, and Wei Li.

The four of them were a little surprised to learn that Shen Bi was retiring and giving up his position to Guard Pu.

In this world, there are really not many people who take the initiative and are willing to give up power.

However, Shen Bi did it.

"Boss, Mr. Shen, considering his age, wants to retire, so let him retire. Just this Guard Pu, can he do it?" Weili asked.

"Pu Weishi is still very capable. When he was the general manager of Ocean Millennium Bank, he turned losses into profits. When he went to London to take charge of the affairs of Huifeng Bank, he had fully acquired the Midland Bank. I promised him at the beginning , as long as he fully acquires Mitlan Bank, he will be appointed as the new chief executive of Huifeng Bank."

In that case, there is no problem with Melis, Ma Shimin, Huo Jianning, and Wei Li.

. . .

18:00 in the evening.

The Yang family held a grand New Year's Eve banquet at the mid-level villa in Repulse Bay.

The New Year's Eve banquet lasted until past 21 o'clock in the evening.

When the New Year's Eve party is over.

After Yang Ming saw the guests off.

The Repulse Bay Mid-Levels Villa is much quieter here.

Melis and others also went back first.
