"Sir Gao, do you think Yihe will really have a business crisis?" Shen Bi's tone was a little erratic.

Gao Xian said calmly: "The economic recession in the United States may be about to bottom out, but the real frightening thing about this negative impact is that it is delayed and diffuse."

"Just like the global economic depression in the next two years caused by the world oil crisis in 1973, many companies began to fall into operating crises after surviving the difficult periods of 1974 and 1975."

"Hutchison, Wheelock, and Evergreen, which owns the Xiangjiang Hilton Hotel, are all such examples. Jardine is stumbling on a similar road."

Shen Bi sighed, "But Yihe is big enough."

Gao Xian glanced at Shen Bi and could roughly guess the other person's complicated mood.

The complicated relationship between Yihe and Huifeng, which has lasted for more than a hundred years, is very complicated, with intrigues and affinities.

Hui Feng was founded decades later than Jardine. The purpose was to solve the financing needs of risky ocean trade. Therefore, it attracted foreign banks such as Baoshun and Sassoon to invest in shares, but only Jardine did not .

Because, relying on the first-mover advantage, Jardine has established a complete business system and has its own banking business. The emergence of Hui Feng has actually added more competitors, and even implies that Baoshun Bank has joined forces with other foreign banks to compete with Jardine. .

From its inception to this point in time, Hui Fung has been a local bank in Hong Kong. Unlike Standard Chartered, its headquarters is in London, England. Therefore, the Hong Kong government has given Hui Fung a lot of support, allowing this rising star to grow into the dominant player in Hong Kong's banking industry today. , even Yihe has to look at her.

More than a hundred years is long enough for people, and it is not short for the business world. The original members of Huifeng, such as Bao Shun and Sassoon, have long since turned into dust of history, and the business structure of Xiangjiang has also undergone tremendous changes. changes, with the rise of Chinese capital and the decline of British capital.

Although Hui Feng intentionally supported Chinese investors like Li Bancheng for their own benefit, after all, Hui Feng and Yihe were both British investors. Especially when tracing back to their roots, they were "fellow villagers" in Scotland, so there must be some sympathies.

Gao Xiancai was too lazy to care about the relationship between Hui Feng and Jardine. He went straight to the core of the problem and said: "In the past few years of economic overheating, Jardine has expanded aggressively, which is no different from Hutchison under the leadership of Qi Dezun. Even the debt level has dropped from Come to think of it, it’s worse than anything worse.”

"Profits are not as big as the Hui Feng family. We can't just sit back and watch the loan to Jardine go wrong. If there is a problem with Jardine, all actions will be taken."

"Hui Feng cannot just sit back and watch the loan to Jardine being deviated." Shen Bi echoed Gao Xian, and then changed the topic: "However, Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher visited China and then stopped in Xiangjiang. This is The first priority now is that we must seize the opportunity to express the concerns and interests of the financial and industrial circles."

"Therefore, I would like to ask Sir Gao to put the overall situation first, be calm and not to put pressure on Yihe for the time being, and take advantage of this period to observe Yihe's performance."

Gao Xian, who was well aware of the current situation, naturally wanted to flatter Shen Bi with his words, but what he was thinking in his heart was that it seemed that the pressure Huifeng was facing was not big enough, so he parted ways with Shen Bi. After that, I asked about the progress in London, England.

…

The Jianing business fraud case caused many elites in the Hong Kong Central financial circle to lose their jobs or flee back to the UK because of their disgraceful roles.

In terms of both theory and precedent, running away may not really lead to peace of mind. Many years ago, the Independent Commission Against Corruption did not arrest the big corrupt criminal Gerber who had absconded back to the UK and brought him back to Hong Kong to face justice.

Therefore, for those who cannot escape Xiangjiang's surveillance, the Sword of Damocles is still hanging above their heads and may fall at any time.

Such was the case with John Weinbath, the multi-profit executive.

Many of Jia Ning's real estate transactions were completed with the assistance of John Winbath. Moreover, John Winbath was not an unknown person in Xiangjiang. It could be said that he could escape for a while, but not forever!

John Weinbath, who has become increasingly aware of this, is not to mention how upset he is. Moreover, a reporter named Alfred Cunningham recently found out how he was contacted.

I made several phone calls in order to conduct an interview, but it was overwhelming.

That afternoon, John Weinbath, who was drinking to soothe his sorrows, received another call from Alfred Cunningham, asking for a face-to-face interview as usual.

The impatient John Weinbath was about to throw away the phone when Alfred Cunningham on the other end of the phone said in a deep voice: "Mr. Weinbath, don't you think that because of the things you participated in, you are deeply implicated and can be called upon at any time?"

Is it possible to be silenced? Ibarashi, the general manager of Yumin Finance, ended up dying in a daze."

"If you agree to my interview, you will get a talisman that will prevent those forces who only care about their own interests from making rash moves."

John Weinbath was agitated when he heard this, and his hazy drunkenness was frightened away, "Okay, then let's meet."

After meeting Alfred Cunningham at the appointed coffee shop, John Weinbath tried: "You are very interested in things over there in Xiangjiang, and you seem to know a lot about them."

Alfred Cunningham explained calmly: "I worked as a reporter in the Far East for several years, especially in Xiangjiang. I even had a Chinese name called Funing'an."

"That's it." John Weinbath nodded suddenly.

Funingan turned to the main topic and said: "Mr. Weinbath, I think that the Jianning commercial fraud case is shocking and not trivial even if it is viewed on a global scale, and it has great news value."

"On the other hand, after Mr. Weinbath cooperated with my interview and told some inside stories about the Jianning business fraud case, he could use the supervision power of the media to find a talisman for himself."

"Anyone who dares to harm Mr. Weinbath is tantamount to announcing to everyone that those who want to kill people and silence them will definitely be punished vigorously."

"On this point, I think Mr. Weinbath should be able to weigh the stakes."

John Weinbath looked Funningham up and down, "You come to me again and again, is it that simple?"

"Otherwise." Funingan shrugged, "You give me a major news topic, and I will help you get the amulet through widespread media attention."

"Then I can find other reporters to cooperate." John Weinbath said slyly: "You must have some unique abilities."

"I understand." Funing Anhaha laughed, "Mr. Winbais, please tell your conditions."

John Winbest groaned: "First of all, I need money! Once I return to Xiangjiang for prosecution, the fine is indispensable, it will definitely affect the life of my family."

"Also, my amulet cannot be paid to the media's attention, I need real security protection."

"Understand, understand." Fining nodded calmly, "I can help you solve these problems, but as a repayment, you must provide me with enough shocking news materials, such as the shadow of Duoli!"

John Winbest frowned: "It seems, your real purpose is here."

"Who let Duoli the most windy tree?" Funing An smiled: "Actually, these details are not important at all, you just need to understand that it is not difficult to infer from the incident of Ibarah.

Like Dori and Yumin's finances, there is the biggest impulse that keeps people who keep their lips forever. "
