"Hello, Mr. Jing!" Two Swiss bank employees strode over with smiling faces, greeted Jing Gao and shook hands.
Jing Gao shook hands with the two and looked at Xiao Qiao. He was sitting and chatting with Wei Chenjun just now, and his mobile phone was kept by Xiao Qiao.
Xiao Qiao said: "Mr. Jing, Manager Erwin said he has something important to ask you."
Erwin, a tall white man, said in Chinese with a smile: "Mr. Jing, our Swiss bank will wholeheartedly provide you with the best service. We would like to upgrade your bank card level for you. Do you think that's okay?"
Jing Gao understood and looked at the time on his wrist.
Xu Yanghong said quickly: "I wonder if Mr. Jing can have lunch with me. We have all the documents with us, we just need to sign them."
Jing Gao thought about it and said, "Okay!"
Shake hands with Wei Chenjun and say goodbye. Follow Erwin and Xu Yanghong downstairs.
…
…
"Sister Jun, what is the background of Mr. Jing?" Assistant Yu Jie asked in a low voice as she followed Wei Chenjun back.
During the capital verification just now, she personally confirmed the numbers in the other party's bank card. It's really scary.
The people at UBS responded really quickly and immediately sent an investment manager over to handle the matter.
After all, UBS is a reputable bank. Look at the attitude of those two people just now. Those of them who work in private equity funds may not be favored by others.
But thinking about the billions of funds, I guess the ghost guy and the young man just now would be willing to do it no matter how enthusiastic they were.
A faint smile appeared on Wei Chenjun's face, "Lesbian, don't ask around when you shouldn't." She actually didn't know, and was equally curious, but it didn't stop her from adjusting her assistant.
"oh."
Wei Chenjun returned to the office, thinking about the way Jing Gao shook hands with people from the Swiss Bank. She also knew Erwin, and she rarely saw him look respectful and flattering. It feels like there is a new upstart here in Xiangjiang!
Because with Jing Gao's style, it feels like he definitely has more than 1 billion US dollars in funds.
…
…
Land is at a premium here in Central, so the restaurants are naturally excellent. The Spanish "La Rambla" on the 3rd floor of the International Finance Center shopping mall in Central is famous.
In late May in Beijing, it is almost summer, and occasionally it will be a little cooler in the morning and evening. But here on Hong Kong Island, it’s completely midsummer.
A group of five people sat in the restaurant, admiring the charming bay view, eating top-quality steaks imported from Barcelona, and seafood flown from Spain and Japan. Drinking red wine and chatting.
Chatting while eating.
Jing Gao listened to Erwin and Xu Yanghong introduce the VIP customer service provided by Swiss Bank. Although Erwin understands Chinese, he is limited to some daily communication. More often than not, Xu Yanghong has to explain.
"Okay, I generally understand. I agree to upgrade my bank card. But I don't need your securities and stock business for the time being. My funds will be entrusted to a dedicated person."
Erwin shrugged, his hair was a bit long and furry, "Mr. Well, that's such a shame."
Xu Yanghong also laughed regretfully. With his status, if he hadn't hosted Jing Gao and his entourage to open an account today, how would he be able to sit here and eat? Some people on the Internet say that 1 billion US dollars is enough to make people kneel down and call daddy. The key is that if he wants to scream, Mr. Jing must agree.
Listening to his strange Mandarin, Jing Gao couldn't help but laugh and said: "Mr. Erwin, your UBS is a century-old bank in the banking industry. I have something to ask you. I intend to acquire a bank. As a bank on Hong Kong Island, do you do this business?”
Erwin's expression suddenly became extremely happy. He drank with Jing Gao first, and then said excitedly: "This is the merger and acquisition business, of course we do it. Mr. Jing, I can bring the asset charts of small and medium-sized banks in Hong Kong tomorrow. "
"Then I'll contact you tomorrow."
…
…
No matter how noble you are, being a VIP in someone else's bank, how can you be as happy as being a local emperor in your own bank? He just doesn't have enough qualifications now, otherwise he really wants to acquire a bank of his own in China.
Of course, I can only think about this. If you look at the financial paths of Dad Ma and Brother Ma, you will know that it is extremely difficult to obtain a bank license.
Alipay and WeChat have such large payment scales, but they don’t need a bank license. I only applied for an online banking license.
Several well-known domestic banks have their own owners. For example, China Minsheng Bank is owned by former richest man Liu Hope. Zheshang Bank, as the name suggests. Currently, the "Bao-Wan Controversy" is in full swing in the market. Baoneng's funds come from Zheshang Bank.
Even if Jing Gao holds an unlimited card now, he is still a younger brother in front of these people. How dare he think about their "golden cow"?
Erwin did not lie. He worked overtime on Sunday. When he met with Igao at the Peninsula Hotel in the afternoon, he had compiled a list of small and medium-sized banks in Hong Kong Island that were available for acquisition.
Big banks like Standard Chartered, HSBC, Citigroup, DBS, Hang Seng, Wing Hang, including the branches of the five major banks on Hong Kong Island, don’t even think about it.
Of course, this is only the first step. Bank shareholders are generally dispersed, so even if there is a possibility of acquisition, it still needs to be negotiated slowly.
What Jing Gao is interested in is a banking license.
"I'll leave it to you. The premium is acceptable." On Thursday afternoon, Idaka and Erwin had afternoon tea in the lobby of the Peninsula Hotel and signed the entrusted acquisition contract.
Of course, Jinggao is not purchasing in his own name. He has asked Xiao Qiao and Wu Jingshu to register ten companies in the Virgin Islands, a tax-free paradise, with cross-holdings. This is a basic practice that anyone who has read online will understand.
The target is the US and Japanese consortium. For example: The core company of the Mitsui Consortium is Mitsui & Co. But if you look up the equity, it’s hard to believe that Toyota Motor is also part of the Mitsui Consortium. A large shareholding is hidden in various cross-holdings.
The same is true for American conglomerates. After checking the equity, they are all good people and middle class. For example, someone actually wrote at the end of his biography of the head of the Morgan Financial Group that he only had one yacht worth US$60 million when he died.
Who the hell believes this!
But legally, it may really be his entire property. Avoidance is done too well. The estate tax in the United States is a bit high.
The company Jing Gao openly acquired the bank was called Jiuge. It comes from the immortal masterpiece in Chinese culture: The Songs of Chu. Jiuge Company has first set up an office on Hong Kong Island and has already recruited lawyers, finance and other personnel.
The contract signed by Jing Gao was naturally reviewed by the company's lawyers. Only then did he dare to sign a contract with Swiss Bank with confidence.
Don’t think that big banks don’t cheat people. During the 2008 financial crisis, many banks were deceiving people and did not assume any legal responsibility. The reason was that you accidentally signed a document they gave you.
Holding the signed contract, Erwin beamed, which meant that he brought UBS a profit worth one or two billion US dollars.
“A pleasure to work with.”
“A pleasure to work with.”
Jing Gao stood up and took Erwin to the entrance of the Peninsula Hotel. The afternoon tea was originally in the lobby on the first floor. At this time, a woman came quickly with a document bag and shouted: "Mr. Erwin..."
