Hong Kong Giant Owl: Rebirth

Chapter 901 News from London

Qin Zhongyuan said: "When HSBC acquires Hang Seng Bank, we will be able to gain the market share of Hang Seng Bank. Then, our Longsheng Bank will become the most powerful Chinese bank in Hong Kong."

At this time, the door of Qin Zhongyuan's chairman's office was pushed open.Qin Zhongyuan frowned immediately because of this rude behavior, but saw that the person who pushed the door was Qin Haohan, so he put away the words of reprimand and said: "What's going on, how much can I teach you?" Once again, don't be in a hurry when something happens, why can't you change it?"

Qin Haohan was out of breath, and took two deep breaths before saying, "Dad, this time is terrible. A friend of mine in the government said that He Shanheng submitted an application to the Hong Kong government to transfer the shares of Hang Seng Bank two days ago!"

"What!?" Qin Zhongyuan and Qin Jiangshan jumped up from their chairs in shock when they heard Qin Haohan's words.

Qin Haohan nodded heavily: "I just met this friend not long ago. I asked him out for tea just now, and he told me when we were chatting."

Because of the Longsheng Bank run by the Qin family, Qin Haohan knew that it was right to get to know more people from the government, especially the banking regulator of the Hong Kong government.Through deliberate approach, Qin Haohan finally got acquainted with a staff member of the Finance Bureau.The Hong Kong British government is now preparing to form a formal banking regulatory agency, and the personnel are selected from the Finance Bureau.Even now, matters such as the change of ownership of Hang Seng Bank's equity are approved by the Finance Bureau, which is temporarily responsible for bank supervision.

When drinking tea with the staff of the Finance Bureau today, Qin Haohan talked about Hang Seng Bank, and the staff told Qin Haohan that He Shanheng of Hang Seng Bank had submitted an application for equity transfer to them two days ago, and the government Those leaders are now reviewing the application.

Qin Haohan knew that his father was cooperating with HSBC to plan for Hang Seng Bank, and he was waiting for Hang Seng Bank to sell the shares if it couldn't bear it anymore. Now Hang Seng Bank is quietly transferring the shares.After hearing the news, Qin Haohan didn't show any clues on the surface, but immediately rushed back to report to Qin Zhongyuan.

"He Shanheng wants to transfer the shares of Hang Seng Bank? Who did he transfer to? How much is the transferred share?" Qin Zhongyuan asked hastily.

Qin Haohan shook his head and said: "I don't know about these things. My friend is just an ordinary employee. He only knows that He Shanheng has submitted an application for equity transfer to the government. As for who to transfer to and how many shares to transfer, he doesn't know."

Qin Zhongyuan frowned when he heard this. The development of this situation was completely beyond his expectations. I am afraid that even HSBC Bank did not know that Hang Seng Bank had already sold its shares.If someone else really got the shares of Hang Seng Bank, then everything that HSBC and Qin Zhongyuan did before would be in vain.

"Jiangshan, let's go see Mr. Sanders immediately." Qin Zhongyuan said in a solemn tone.

Qin Jiangshan also nodded slowly, so the two left Longsheng Bank and hurried to Sanders' house.

Sanders originally worked at HSBC Bank. After receiving a call from Qin Zhongyuan and learning that He Shanheng had submitted an application for equity transfer to the government, Sanders sent someone to the government to inquire about the news, and on the other hand, he immediately returned to his house to talk to Qin Zhongyuan. The Central Plains and Qin Jiangshan meet.

"How is it, Mr. Sanders, do you have any news?" Qin Zhongyuan said straight to the point.

"Not yet, but if the news is true, all our plans will be disrupted." Sanders said with a frown.

Qin Jiangshan next to him said: "Mr. Sanders, in your estimation, if someone really bought Hang Seng Bank secretly, who would it be?"

"Besides us, Standard Chartered Bank is most likely to be interested in and capable of Hang Seng Bank." Sanders stroked his beard under his nose and said, "But we have already negotiated with Standard Chartered before. Now, they shouldn't stab us in the back like this."

Qin Zhongyuan also frowned: "Then who else?"

At this time, Sanders' eyes became gloomy: "We can't let Hang Seng Bank change hands like this. We have worked so hard before, and we must not let it fall short!"

Seeing the cold light in Sanders' eyes, Qin Zhongyuan also shuddered in his heart. Sanders, a man who looks like a gentleman, has very powerful methods.

"Even if Hang Seng Bank is really acquired by others, we will not let it go like this." Sanders continued: "Since it cannot become our strength, then we will destroy it!"

In essence, according to the influence of HSBC in Hong Kong, it is entirely possible to put pressure on the government to prevent the resale of shares in Hang Seng Bank to others.However, in this way, HSBC's attempts will be easily exposed, and HSBC may cause a series of rebounds by then.

The most direct is the violent rebound of Chinese-funded banks. Sanders claims to know the Chinese people very well. He knows that the Chinese are best at fighting internally when there is no foreign enemy, but once there is a foreign enemy that threatens them, they will quickly It is easy to unite and fight against foreign enemies,
Qin Zhongyuan said: "Sandas, is it too early to make a conclusion so quickly? It's better to wait for your people to inquire about the news before making a decision."

"Ring ring ring ring!"

The ear-piercing phone ringing suddenly startled the three of Sanders slightly. Their first reaction when they heard the phone ringing was that the person who went to the government to inquire about the news had returned.

However, when Sanders picked up the phone and heard a few words from the person on the other end of the phone, the expression on his face suddenly changed. Qin Zhongyuan and Qin Jiangshan were surprised and suspicious when they met, because Sanders was also People who are used to big storms and big scenes, ordinary accidents can't scare him at all, but even a person like Sanders, his face changed drastically at this time, which shows that the news from the other end of the phone is absolutely amazing.

"You...how much did you say it fell?" Sanders said hesitantly.

Then, Qin Zhongyuan saw even more surprise on Sanders' face.

After a long time, Sanders finally put down the phone, and Qin Zhongyuan immediately asked: "Mr. Sanders, have you found out the news from the government? The situation... is not optimistic?"

But Sanders shook his head and said, "It's not news from the government, it has nothing to do with Hang Seng Bank, it's..."

Just as Sandas was about to speak, he suddenly glanced at Qin Zhongyuan and Qin Jiangshan, his eyes suddenly vigilant, as if he had just learned something from the phone and could not tell Qin Zhongyuan and Qin Jiangshan.

No matter who Qin Zhongyuan and Qin Jiangshan were, they immediately noticed Sanders' sudden vigilance.Qin Zhongyuan immediately guessed in his heart that there must be an internal problem in HSBC Bank, and such a secret, even though Longsheng Bank is now a partner of HSBC Bank, cannot be leaked to Qin Zhongyuan.

At this time, I saw Sanders took a deep breath, and then said to Qin Zhongyuan and Qin Jiangshan: "You two, let's talk about the Hang Seng Bank later. Anyway, I will notify you as soon as I have any news. Now I have other important things to deal with, please go back first."

After Qin Zhongyuan heard Sanders say this, he became more certain of his thoughts. HSBC must have encountered some changes, otherwise Sanders would not immediately drive himself and Qin Jiangshan away.

However, Qin Zhongyuan didn't reveal any clues, just said to Sanders: "Mr. Sanders, let's go back first, but if you or HSBC need help, please let us know."

Sanders was taken aback for a moment, then nodded.

After Qin Zhongyuan and Qin Jiangshan left Sanders' house, Qin Jiangshan immediately asked Qin Zhongyuan: "Brother, that guy Sanders changed after receiving that phone call? You said that in that phone call? What are you talking about?"

"When Sanders listened to that call, he only said one sentence." Qin Zhongyuan said with narrowed eyes.

Qin Jiangshan thought about it for a while, and repeated what Sanders said at the time: "He said 'how much it fell'."

Qin Zhongyuan nodded and looked at Qin Jiangshan: "After hearing this sentence, what did you think of?"

"I didn't pay much attention to it at the time, but now that I think about it, could Sanders be talking about the stock market?" Qin Jiangshan said.

"It can't be wrong." Qin Zhongyuan touched his nose: "I guess, I am afraid that the stock price of HSBC Bank has dropped a lot, otherwise Sanders would not be so gaffe."

Qin Jiangshan said: "HSBC is listed in London. Could it be that something happened to the stock market in London?"

"I don't know yet, let's find out right away!" Qin Zhongyuan said.

After returning, Qin Zhongyuan immediately asked people to inquire about the situation in London, and his subordinates quickly passed the news back.

After seeing the news, Qin Zhongyuan frowned and said, "It's true, something happened to HSBC's stock market in London."

Qin Jiangshan also had a serious face: "Suddenly there was a big fluctuation in the London gold market, and the price of gold fell by [-]% within two days. And HSBC used a lot of funds to invest in gold before, and now it has suffered heavy losses. Already!"

Qin Zhongyuan let out a "hmm" and continued: "Not only that, HSBC's stock was sold off in large quantities, which exacerbated the decline in his stock price!"

HSBC is headquartered in the United Kingdom and is also listed on the London stock market. This time, the volatility of the London stock market has had a great impact on HSBC.Qin Jiangshan said: "No wonder Sanders lost his composure. This time, the stock price of HSBC has dropped a lot."

"Sanders and these senior executives themselves hold a lot of shares in HSBC Bank. If HSBC's stock price falls, their losses will be very heavy." Qin Zhongyuan said: "The fluctuation of the London gold market this time is said to be A large amount of gold appeared in the international market, which affected the supply and demand of the gold market."
