Reborn since 1993

Chapter 904 Horn
Yuan Tianfan can manage Yingke Power and borrow US dollars from the Bank of England, but these loans need the approval of Mr. Li, the boss of Changjiang.

Li Zekai looked a little conflicted. Over the years, he had always wanted to prove himself and had made some earth-shaking deals, such as the sale of Star TV to Murdoch and the Crown Motor Building transaction, both of which were famous deals in Hong Kong and Southeast Asia.

He is also known as the leader of the younger generation in Hong Kong, but over the years, Li Zekai has also made his share of setbacks, and it was always Mr. Li, the boss of Changjiang Group, who had to clean up the mess in the end.

But for Li Zekai, what he wanted was not for Mr. Li from Changjiang to cover for him, but to prove himself.

He didn't want to be dubbed the second son of the Changjiang Li family, but proving it seemed a long way off.

If he doesn't go back to the Changjiang Li family this time, let alone acquire Hongcheng Telecom, it is hard to say whether Yingke Power can survive the crisis of the Tokyo Metro real estate project.

Sitting in the boss chair, Li Zekai covered his face with his hands. After a moment, he finally raised his head and looked at Yuan Tianfan, "I will go back!"

Upon hearing this, Yuan Tianfan knew that Li Zekai had made up his mind, so he stood up, clapped his hands, and prepared to do a big job to let Gangcheng know what he, Yuan Tianfan, was going to do by assisting Li Zekai!
"I'm going to meet the president of HSBC Bank in Hong Kong to raise funds for Yingke Power!"

……

There were many more people who also received the news that Li Dongling had come to Hong Kong City, especially those wealthy families and foreign-funded institutions in Hong Kong City, who were also paying attention to Li Dongling's movements.

There are even people who are quick to act and are already preparing to quietly buy Hong Kong City Telecom shares tomorrow, lurking in to make a fortune.

Once people like Li Dongling and Li Zekai start competing for Hongcheng Telecom, the share price of Hongcheng Telecom will rise rapidly!
Among these people, there was an "old acquaintance" of Mr. Li. Upon hearing the news of Li Dongling's arrival, he hurried over, wanting to see Li Dongling come to the rescue.

……

This welcoming banquet was held in a hotel. The attendees were mainly companies that had cooperated with Dongling Hi-Tech Hong Kong City Company, mainland companies in Hong Kong City, and some Hong Kong government officials. There was no pursuit of so-called appearance by inviting too many Hong Kong city tycoons and celebrities to attend.

"Manager Cao, long time no see!"

Li Dongling extended his hand to Cao Zongyan, the general manager of Bank of China Hong Kong City Company. In Hong Kong City, if companies from the mainland want to get things done, they often cannot do without the support of Bank of China Hong Kong City Company.

Similarly, if Cyberport wants to acquire Harbour City Telecom, it also needs the support of a mainland-based consortium like Bank of China.

"Boss Li is still as charming as ever. I've heard about the big move made by Dongling Hi-Tech a long time ago!"

Cao Zongyan said to Li Dongling with a smile on his slightly fat face. This, of course, referred to the shocking deal in which Li Dongling sold his Xiaolingtong.

"In the future, we will still need Manager Cao to support Dongling Hi-Tech and Cyberport!"

Li Dongling also said this to Cao Zongyan "frankly", which almost directly expressed his attitude.

Cao Zongyan looked at Li Dongling's expression seriously. The last time Li Dongling allowed Cyberport to invest in Hong Kong City Telecom, Bank of China Hong Kong City Company also made a lot of efforts.

However, investing in Hong Kong City Telecom and acquiring the controlling stake in Hong Kong City Telecom are two completely different things, and the money spent is also incomparable.

To be honest, with mainland companies represented by Dongling Hi-Tech entering Hong Kong in a strong manner, Bank of China's revenue is getting higher and higher.

By acquiring Hong Kong Telecom, Dongling Hi-Tech has sounded the clarion call for mainland companies to enter Hong Kong in a big way. Naturally, the opportunity for Bank of China to overwhelm HSBC and Standard Chartered in Hong Kong will come!
However, it would cost too much to acquire Hong Kong City Telecom, and how to operate Hong Kong City Telecom after the acquisition is completed is also a big problem.

"Boss Li, have you really made up your mind to come to Hong Kong this time?"

Cao Zongyan asked Li Dongling tentatively, when Dongling Hi-Tech sold Xiaolingtong, it was clamoring to build cars, acquire Hongcheng Telecom, enter the overseas telecommunications market, bet on emerging Internet technologies, etc.

"It's time to resolve this matter!" Li Dongling also directly expressed his attitude. This time he came to Gangcheng with the purpose of acquiring Gangcheng Telecom.

Cao Zongyan looked at Li Dongling and nodded. This time Dongling Hi-Tech was going to acquire Gangcheng Telecom. Bank of China, CITIC, Everbright and other banking consortiums with mainland backgrounds in Gangcheng would definitely support Dongling Hi-Tech with a clear stand!
This is not a question of whether or not to support it, how big the risk is, or how much the reward is, but a question of attitude, or more deeply, a question of standing in line!
If he doesn't support Dongling Hi-Tech this time, then in the future, it won't be whether he can continue to sit in the position of general manager of Bank of China Harbor City. His supporters in Bank of China will probably have to step aside and then go home to retire.

Loyalty is not absolute, it is absolutely disloyal!
If there is a problem with standing in line, it cannot be solved by simply being an issue of ability!
Similarly, if Yingke Power also wants to join the acquisition, Cao Zongyan feels that if the Li family of Changjiang also speaks out in support of Yingke Power.

With the connections of the Li family of the Yangtze River, HSBC, Standard Chartered, Barclays, BNP Paribas, Citibank and other Western banks in Hong Kong will all stand on the side of Yingke Power.

By then, a disguised drama of Chinese capital versus British capital will appear in Hong Kong!
Thinking of this, Cao Zongyan shook his head. Who could have imagined that after the return of Hong Kong, there would be a new battle between Chinese and British capitals, following the battle for Kowloon Wharf, the battle for Hutchison Whampoa, the battle for China Gas, and Hong Kong Electric Company. Moreover, the scale of this war may be far greater than in the past, and the identities of the warring parties have also changed. After unraveling the mystery, it has become a camp composed of the mainland against Britain and America.

Cao Zongyan knew clearly that in the future, the clashes between these camps would probably become more intense, and Gangcheng would become the main battlefield for these clashes!

"Director Chen!"

After Cao Zongyan, several other people entered the banquet hall. Li Dongling took a few steps forward and extended his hand to the leader.

"Welcome Mr. Li to Hong Kong City!"

Chen Guoan, who was wearing glasses and looked a bit scholarly and gentle, extended his hand towards Li Dongling warmly.

Chen Guoan seems to be not well-known in Hong Kong, and has not appeared often in the Hong Kong city government and media. However, those who know his identity in Hong Kong dare not underestimate him.

Because Chen Guoan is the director of the mainland's office in Hong Kong, he represents the attitude of Yanjing to a certain extent.

After Chen Guoan, Li Dongling called out to a tall man behind him, "Director Xia!"

This man is Xia Guocai from the Gangcheng Police Station, who had dealt with Li Dongling before. Now, he has become one of the powerful figures in the Gangcheng Police Station.

Speaking of which, Xia Guocai was introduced to Chen Guoan by Li Dongling. At that time, Gangcheng had not yet returned, and Xia Guocai was considered one of the first people in the Gangcheng government to publicly express his stance.

Naturally, after Hong Kong's return, Xia Guocai's identity and status also underwent earth-shaking changes. The Hong Kong Police Department managed by Xia Guocai is now one of the Hong Kong departments with the closest relationship with the mainland's office in Hong Kong.

"On behalf of the Hong Kong Monetary Authority, I would like to thank Mr. Li for speaking up for Hong Kong!"

Arriving with Chen Guoan was a man who looked to be in his forties, but his hair was mostly white and he was very thin. He spoke to Li Dongling.

"This is the president of the Hong Kong Financial Services Authority!" Chen Guoan introduced the man to Li Dongling.

Upon hearing this, Li Dongling suddenly realized who the man in front of him was. Who else could it be other than Ren Zhigang, nicknamed Ren Yi Zhao by the people of Gangcheng?

Now Ren Zhigang is the person who is mainly responsible for managing Hong Kong City against Soros and international hedge funds. His main method is only one move, which is to raise the exchange rate and protect the Hong Kong dollar.

Although this caused a sharp drop in Hong Kong's property and stock markets, Ren Zhigang remained unshakable. The Hong Kong dollar exchange rate was maintained, but the exchange rate of local banks in Hong Kong continued to increase, causing many people in Hong Kong to suffer heavy losses or even go bankrupt, and they cursed at him.

"President Ren!"

Li Dongling shook hands with Ren Zhigang and wondered why he came here to attend this banquet when he was not busy at the Hong Kong City Financial Management Bureau.

But then I saw Chen Guoan, Cao Zongyan and others, and realized that Ren Zhigang might have done it on purpose this time. It was hard to say, because there were already media reporters outside who had been notified in advance and were squatting outside ready to take pictures.

Ren Zhigang did all this for no other reason than to create a public opinion that he has the support of the mainland!

"President Ren, you are too polite. What I said before was not empty talk. I believe that Hong Kong City will be able to maintain the exchange rate, and the Hang Seng Index will not fall below 7500 points. Dongling Hi-Tech is willing to do everything it can to help you!"

Li Dongling said to Ren Zhigang that when Li Dongling got married, some Hong Kong media went to Hanxi to join in the fun and asked Li Dongling what he thought about the battle to defend Hong Kong. At that time, Li Dongling expressed his optimism that Hong Kong could maintain the exchange rate.

Ren Zhigang looked at Li Dongling's expression and felt that Li Dongling was not just talking nonsense. It seemed that he really believed that Gangcheng could stop Soros and those international vultures.

But to be honest, even Ren Zhigang himself was a little unsure. Everyone said that he only knew that one trick, but apart from this one trick, he would be useless no matter who else he replaced!
Too much money is needed to support the Hong Kong real estate and stock markets, which have been inflated too much. Even if the Hong Kong Financial Administration is sold, it will not be able to come up with so much money.

The reason why he came here today to attend the welcoming banquet for Mr. Li in Gangcheng was actually to send a signal to the people of Gangcheng and Soros's group of vultures that Gangcheng has received the support of Yanjing, the US dollar foreign exchange from the mainland will support Gangcheng, and Soros cannot break through Gangcheng.

It is hard to say how much effect it will have, but it is a risky road. In addition to head-on confrontation, the war of public opinion is equally important. The Wall Street Journal has stopped its show and started to fabricate public opinion that Hong Kong will definitely lose.

Similarly, Ren Zhigang also needs to fabricate public opinion and tell Soros that mainland's banking consortium, state-owned enterprise giants, state-owned assets, and giant companies like Dongling Hi-Tech that hold large amounts of US dollars will also support Gangcheng!
