After returning to the office, he immediately called his hometown. He needed to hear his father's opinion on this matter. He had never encountered such a situation before and didn't know what to do for a while.
.
Mazi didn't care what he thought. After seeing off these people, he immediately asked the port to arrange for people to unload the goods quickly. Only part of the iron ingots on the ship were unloaded here, so they could go back and send them to the north, and then the ship would be empty.
Some other goods need to be added to the place.
He still had some doubts about this Mo Lun. This guy looked like a bastard at first glance. If one day he was used as a gunman by someone, and someone wanted to board the ship for inspection, it would be fatal.
Hua Sheng has made many friends over the years, but he has also offended many people. There are many people hiding in the dark who are eager to pounce and take a bite. They are now waiting for Hua Sheng to make a mistake, even the smallest one.
, they will all be enlarged infinitely.
These people include not only foreigners, but also some Chinese, because the sudden rise of Huasheng has blocked the way for many people. Not to mention others, just the two plots of Huasheng Plaza currently under construction and several others are being built.
Public housing land.
This alone has blocked the rise of countless families, and is very likely to cause those families that relied on real estate to disappear in the long river of time.
Li Heng doesn't care about these. Whoever can rise will be gone in the future. He is too lazy to care about that. Hong Kong Island is not big or small. Anyway, it is impossible for Huasheng to pull all the cheese.
Those above cannot allow it to come to their plate.
He was currently entertaining an unexpected guest at the teahouse, Mr. Gao Zhaohui, the head of United Bank.
This person's background is a serious one. He is completely incomparable to others, but...
For five years, he has only heard of his name but never met his person. Of course, this is also related to the fact that he rarely attends business gatherings, but this senior executive came to him directly today, which made him a little surprised.
, because of his identity, this CEO Gao probably didn’t know about it.
"Mr. Gao, please have tea!"
"Thank you, Mr. Li. This teahouse is quiet in the bustle, simple and elegant. Mr. Li has found a good office space!"
"Mr. Gao praised me. I don't even have an office here. I just found a place to rest for myself. I think Mr. Gao also knows that I am just an idle person. Now I rely on my wife to support me. It's okay."
The proper thing is to be a soft-boiled person."
"Haha, sir, you are joking." Gao Zhaohui smiled, picked up the tea cup and took a sip: "Well, good tea."
"As long as Mr. Gao likes it, I wonder if Mr. Gao is here today?"
Li Heng was not in the mood to play riddles with him here. After a few nonsense words, he asked straight to the point.
"I don't go to the Three Treasures Hall for anything. I came to Mr. Li today to ask for something."
"Speaking"
"We at United Bank want to use a piece of land as collateral to borrow some money from your Washington Bank."
His words made Li Heng frown. If he wanted a loan, he could just go to Hamilton. Why should he come to him?
"Mr. Gao, just contact the person in charge of our bank directly for the loan. You have collateral, so this shouldn't be difficult, right?"
"It's really not difficult, but the loan I want is relatively large, and Hamilton may not be able to make the decision."
These words aroused Li Heng's interest. How much money did this guy want to borrow? The old man couldn't even decide.
"Mr. Gao, please tell me."
"We, the United Bank, want to borrow 100 million Hong Kong dollars this time. Of course, the land for our warehouse alone is definitely not worth this amount. Therefore, we also want to mortgage 6.3% of the shares of HSBC Hong Kong Island we hold to
you."
No wonder, with so much money, Hamilton really couldn't make the decision. It had to be reported to the head office for approval. Moreover, the collateral that Mr. Gao said was not worth so much money.
If we exchange the shares of HSBC in Hong Kong Island for the shares of the HSBC headquarters in England, that would definitely be enough.
But in Hong Kong, even 10% is not enough. Once the mortgage is in the hands of the bank, the valuation will be broken. But the background of the United Bank is different after all. Do you want to help?
After thinking for a moment, Li Heng gently shook his head: "Mr. Gao, you should know in your heart that more than 6% of HSBC's shares plus the land for your warehouse are not enough for HK$100 million.
"
Huasheng is currently in a stage of rapid development. It cannot have any connection with the United Bank, whose background is well known to everyone. Normal business can be done, but there must be no signs of favoritism. If the gang of British gentlemen discover Huasheng's
If your butt is a little crooked, that's not a good thing.
He's not bragging. At this stage, Huasheng's private help to the North is definitely much greater than that of United Bank.
Li Heng's straightforward refusal put Gao Zhaohui in a bit of a dilemma. United Bank now needs a large amount of funds to complete a very important acquisition. There is no such store in this village. The country is currently in a difficult period and cannot provide it to them.
Any help is needed, as he, the head of the family, must find a way to find funds on his own.
He was silent for a long time this time. After five minutes, he raised his head again and said word by word: "Mr. Li, what if we sell HSBC's shares to you?"
"That's impossible. There's no way HSBC's board of directors would agree to you selling your shares to their rivals."
"Mr. Li, don't worry about this. The reason why we have their shares in our hands is because we helped them a lot back then. It is precisely because of this that we signed an agreement. As long as the price is right, whoever sells it will be
We have the final say."
And such good things!
Li Heng's eyes widened when he heard this. What kind of help did this help? It actually allowed HSBC to sign such an agreement. Weren't they afraid of digging a hole for themselves back then?
Back to the topic, if you can buy the shares of HSBC, it would be a good choice. After all, HSBC Hong Kong Island is one of the note-issuing banks.
"Mr. Gao, I'm interested when you say that, but again, I'm not involved in the specific operations of Huasheng, but I can help you contact the person in charge."
"Thank you Mr. Li."
"You're welcome. It's business, and we are indeed interested in those shares of HSBC."
With these shares, plus the 2% of circulating shares purchased by Huasheng in the stock market, you are fully qualified to occupy a seat on the board of directors of HSBC, and then you can slowly eat into the hands of other shareholders bit by bit.
He has long been salivating over HSBC's shares.
The more than 6% share held by United Bank is the stepping stone.
