Mazi, who came and went in a hurry, left after sitting here for less than twenty minutes, and the third floor fell into silence again.
The lack of talent is the biggest headache for Li Heng right now.
The reason why he wanted to find a white man to be the company manager was because he wanted to use his skin color to make it easier to operate in European and American countries.
After all, Hong Kong Island is in the East. There are really not many people who are willing to come all the way here. They can only be lured by high profits.
Even some private institutions such as research institutes that are still small in size, Li Heng buys them as a whole and takes away everything including people and things.
A lot of money was spent, but the result was only so-so. Thinking of this, Li Heng sighed leisurely, maybe he was a little too anxious.
After all, Tulip's Esmore will not be established for more than 20 years, but its parent company is already a giant, and it will just be spun off in the future. It must be in research and development now, and these things must be
It won't happen overnight.
Therefore, he cannot slow down. On the contrary, he must speed up. Many established companies in the West have gone through a hundred years of development. If they want to break their technological blockade, they can only increase investment, and it is the kind of investment that does not take into account the cost.
Fortunately, it was easy for him to get the money, otherwise the expenses alone for the past six months would have caused many companies to vomit blood.
"Sir, President Hamilton has arrived."
Li Heng, who was deep in thought, was woken up by a crisp voice.
Only then did he realize that at some point, a blond foreigner had appeared on the third floor.
Hamilton, the former general manager of Citigroup's Hong Kong branch, was fired on the spot by an investigation team sent by the headquarters shortly after the last vault theft.
Fortunately, Li Heng returned to Hong Kong in time for the second time, otherwise he would have had to go to the beautiful country to invite this person.
This man was fired, and he was really unjust. He was the culprit again. He just happened to want to set up his own bank. Being able to be the general manager of a Citibank branch must have something special about him. Therefore, when Li Heng heard that
After this incident, I immediately extended an olive branch.
The foreigner also hesitated, but when he thought about the stain on his career this time and that he might not be able to find a suitable job even if he returned to the beautiful country, he was a little hesitant.
In the end, it was Li Heng's boldness that moved him, and he agreed to stay and be the president of a bank that was still completely gone.
However, half a year has passed and he is now the president of a bank with four branches on Hong Kong Island.
It's a lot of trouble to set up from scratch. Just getting the financial institution's license is enough to give people a headache. Anyway, there is too much money to spend. It is most convenient to acquire an operating bank.
"Hamilton, I'm really sorry. I was thinking about some other issues just now and I was neglectful. Please take a seat."
"I must have disturbed you. I contacted this place before coming here. I only came here when I found out you were here."
Yirou looked at Li Heng and then at Hamilton with some confusion. The two men were speaking in English, which she couldn't understand at all. She could only wait patiently for the next instructions.
"Yirou, give President Hamilton a glass of water as well."
This foreigner only drinks coffee and is not very fond of tea.
"Okay sir."
"So...Hamilton, why are you looking for me today?"
"That's right, Li, our bank's delisting work has been completely completed. I just want to ask, what other instructions do you have next?"
"As I said before, you have full authority to handle the bank. Next, it is your task to find ways to attract people to deposit money, and then how to lend money out.
As for me, I will ask several other companies to open accounts within a month. In addition, I will also do what I promised before and inject some more money before the end of the year. You will know the specific amount by then. You will definitely not.
You will be disappointed."
"Thank you" Hamilton raised his eyebrows excitedly. This was the purpose of his coming here today.
Although the acquired bank has a total of four branches and seems to have a lot of depositors, its deposits are equivalent to the bank's liabilities. If it cannot lend out, the interest alone will crush people to death.
Moreover, the bank's own funds are not very large. In addition, a lot of money has been spent to recover external stocks during this delisting and privatization. If there is no further financial support, there will be a run on the depositors.
Completely cool.
Then the two discussed the matter of lending to the two factories. Although Li Heng had a lot of money here, he still needed a loan. Firstly, it was to support the work of his own bank, and secondly, it was not just from his own bank.
Loans, HSBC also requires loans, rain or shine.
In Hong Kong Island, this is a giant. The new four major families in the future will basically be supported by HSBC. Although competition will inevitably happen in the future, seeking development in competition is the right way.
After sending Hamilton away, Li Heng sighed. He was really not suitable for business. He had to face these messy business matters every day when he opened his eyes. It was really a big headache.
He now desperately hopes that the little girl can graduate soon and take over all these things quickly. He drinks tea and walks the dog every day. It's great to be a dude.
…
A newspaper in Hong Kong, editor-in-chief's office
"How's it going? What did England say?"
"I can't find it, editor-in-chief. According to the information provided there, the shareholding structure is too complicated. What they can find is only an asset management company, and it is also held by several foreign companies."
"Made, what are you doing? Are you making the equity so complicated because you are afraid that others will find out the details?" The bald editor sitting behind the desk rubbed his head twice in annoyance.
Not much hair left.
In the past six months, several companies named Huasheng have suddenly appeared on Hong Kong Island, attracting everyone's attention. They have invested hundreds of millions of dollars to build factories, acquire banks, and a shipping company has placed orders to buy ships.
He is buying an airplane, and he looks like a rich man.
But when people who are interested dig deep into the bottom of these companies, they find that the bottom is simply bottomless.
Just like this newspaper, they have been investigating Huasheng Company behind the scenes for several months, but apart from getting a bunch of names of asset management companies, they didn't get anything else. Oh, that's not right either.
, the newspaper office also spent a lot of money.
“Editor-in-Chief, it’s not that I gained nothing at all. I also found two fund companies here. One is registered in the United States, and the other is in England. These two fund companies respectively hold 100% of these Huasheng companies.
