There are more than 100 banks in Hong Kong, and the world's leading banks have their Asian headquarters in Hong Kong. The reputation of Asia's financial center is not in vain.
Among so many banks, Hua Xia United Bank is a very bright star that has suddenly risen. The bank’s predecessor was Nanyang Bank, which had an excellent history and was glorious for a while. Later, it was acquired due to poor management. After reorganization, it established the current Hua Xia United Bank.
.
In just one year, its assets exceeded HK$100 billion, and its savings exceeded HK$300 billion. Now it is a large bank with an operating scale of one trillion Hong Kong dollars.
Industry insiders believe that Huaxia United Bank has a Chinese-funded corporate background, while Gao Jian came from the mainland and has a very deep mainland background. Gao Jian is even considered to be a representative of the financial industry sent from the mainland to some extent.
The most powerful evidence is that Gao Jian was found to have close contacts with the president of the Hong Kong branch of China News Service.
Since the establishment of Hua Xia United Bank, its biggest move has been to inject capital into the mainland's deep development bank and establish Huayin Aviation Leasing Company, all of which are closely related to the mainland.
In general, Gao Jian is not just the person in charge or controller of a bank, there is a deeper meaning behind what he represents.
Even Li Bancheng was surprised by his appearance.
Who is he coming to?
Hua Xia United Bank is not listed on the market. Information about the bank's assets, business scale, etc. are all analyzed by industry insiders. There is a saying that Hua Xia United Bank manages a large amount of funds from Russia and Eastern Europe. If this statement is true,
, then the funds that Huaxia United Bank can control will exceed US$100 billion.
This is US$100 billion in 1995, and its purchasing power and influence are greater than US$10,000 trillion in 2025.
There is no doubt that if Hua Xia United Bank supports anyone, no one will worry about funding problems. Hua Xia United Bank is too rich!
Gao Jian was very steady, smiled and nodded to everyone, and then sat down in the last row. His assistants, secretaries and others sat on both sides, seemingly here to listen.
After thinking for a while, Li Bancheng stood up and walked over.
Gao Jian stood up and greeted him with a smile.
Suddenly the flashes became denser and the shutter clicked loudly.
"Li Sheng." Gao Jian extended his hand first, giving Li Bancheng face. After all, he had been received by national leaders.
"Director Gao." Li Bancheng held Gao Jian's hand with his signature gentle smile, "What a coincidence that you are here too."
Gao Jian said bluntly, "Li Sheng, I just received the news. I'm sorry."
"So that's it." Li Bancheng turned to look at Yu Yong'an and asked lightly, "So Mr. Gao is here for Mr. Yu."
Gao Jian gave a wry smile and said, "I have no choice but to be entrusted by others. But don't worry, if Changshi Holdings needs funds, you can always come to me."
He really came to support Yongan Group. Li Bancheng felt a little nervous, but he remained calm and said with a smile, "Mr. Gao said something serious, it's business."
Through Gao Jian, at least Li Bancheng can be sure of one thing - there is a big boss behind Hua Xia United Bank, and Gao Jian is just the person responsible for the specific work in front of the stage.
Gao Jian gave Li Bancheng a lot of face, at least he told him the truth. Gao Jian could have talked about him, but Gao Jian didn't do that.
After exchanging a few words, Li Bancheng returned to his seat.
Gao Jian sat down, looked around slowly, and saw Yao Yuan and Lin Xiaohu mixed in the crowd. He felt relieved. As long as the big boss was here, he had nothing to worry about.
For several other bidding entities, Gao Jian's appearance was a big blow to their hearts. Some analysts believe that the British Hong Kong government auctioned off the last 10,000 acres of land in Central in 1997 and cashed out.
One of the important measures.
With the urine of the British, they would not leave any rafters or tiles behind.
Gao Jian's appearance at the auction and his full support for Yongan Group, which also has a strong mainland background, seems to support the above analysis.
While everyone was having their own thoughts, the host announced the start of the auction.
The representative of the British Hong Kong government first made a brief speech, and then the host read out the rules and starting price. At the end, the host said, "According to the latest requirements, the winning entity needs to complete the payment of all payments within 48 hours of the end of the auction.
, if the specified time is exceeded, the auction results will be invalid and the subject will enter the re-auction process, please pay special attention."
Today is Sunday, which means that all the payments must be made before get off work on Tuesday afternoon. Time is very tight.
However, such conditions are nothing to everyone. The entities that can sit here and participate in the auction have already prepared the funds, and it depends on who has the higher price bottom line.
The starting price is HK$23.2 billion.
Du Jiaming said in the live broadcast room of the TV station, "23.2 billion Hong Kong paper, this starting price is the highest starting price for a large piece of land since the opening of Hong Kong. We call it the auction of the century. Looking at the world, it is also the highest unit price of land in this century."
Auctioned."
The TV host said, "Dusheng, Hongji, Henderson, and Kerry Construction, which was established just a few years ago, formed a consortium. World Development, Sino Group, Lanfeng Group, and Yinghao Group formed a consortium. In addition,
Wheelock Properties, the oldest company in the world, bid alone, and now Cheung Kong Holdings and Wing On Group suddenly have three more opponents, and they are all very strong. What do you think?"
Du Jiaming said with confidence, "The focus is still on the two companies Cheung Kong Holdings and Yongan Group. Why do you say that? Look, let's talk about something first, let's talk about Wheelock Real Estate, this company
It has been more than 130 years since its establishment, almost as long as the opening of Hong Kong. It is an old brand, but the development of Wheelock Properties in recent years has been unsatisfactory."
"Wheelock Real Estate's business is spread all over Southeast Asia, and the scale is very large, but it is very difficult to come up with 20 to 30 billion Hong Kong notes on its own. So, Wheelock Real Estate's participation in the auction is most likely due to a
The self-esteem of an established real estate developer.”
After a pause, Du Jiaming said, "As for the dual-base consortium, the two bidding entities of Shixin Lanying Consortium seem to be very powerful, but we have to see that they have been in a long-term position when facing Changshi Holdings.
Weak, even if we join forces, it will be difficult to compete with Cheung Kong Holdings."
The TV host said, "So, Du Sheng, you still think that this auction is still the same as the previous ones, a competition between Changshi Holdings and Yongan Group."
"Yes, this is my consistent view. Yongan Group is going to make a big move into Hong Kong's real estate industry. Yu Yongan chose Cheung Kong Holdings as his opponent. His goal is obvious, which is to make a name for himself by attacking the strongest opponent. Yu Yongan
He is known as the God of Stocks and is invincible in the stock market, but he is a novice when it comes to real estate. I think, in the end, Li Bancheng and Li Sheng will win this land."
"That is to say, this auction is still a battle between Changshi Holdings and Yongan Group. Audience friends, the auction will start soon. Please direct the director to go to the scene and let us wait and see..."
