At the end of February, as the news of the betrayal and frame-up of HSBC was transferred from export to domestic market, domestic public opinion exploded!
Netizens were excited.
It is inconvenient to write this in detail. Although some people are fishing in troubled waters on the Internet, today's netizens are not so easy to deal with, and they have a clear distinction between likes and dislikes. Shepherds and calcium deficient people have made comments from various angles in an attempt to stem this wave, but to no avail.
Hong Kong Island, HSBC Greater China Headquarters.
President Huang Bijuan and HSBC CEO Fan Ning, who flew to Hong Kong Island, met in the conference room. Assistants reject all phone calls and outside distractions outside the conference room. The atmosphere was particularly tense.
Fan Ning has gray hair, is of medium height, and wears a pair of glasses. At this moment, his hair is combed meticulously. Sitting on the sofa, his facial expression is very serious. This body language conveys his mood at this time.
He is a veteran of HSBC and became the CEO of HSBC in February 2018. HSBC's board considers Fanning a safe bet. His plan for HSBC is to "focus on the Chinese market."
But now...
"Huang, how is the situation in Greater China now?"
Huang Bijuan answered truthfully: "It's not good. Mr. Fan Ning, with all due respect, we have to consider reducing the loss! Instead of thinking about avoiding it, this is already impossible."
She spoke very candidly.
There is no doubt that once HSBC feels the pain, she and Fan Ning, the CEO in charge of HSBC's affairs, will be thrown out as "scapegoats" to quell public anger. She couldn't help but feel nervous.
Her gaffe in front of Lenny Mellon two days ago was not an act. After learning the news, Lenny Mellon left immediately and gave up the idea of hugging her for warmth. To outsiders, her career at HSBC has entered a countdown.
Fan Ning pushed up his glasses: "Then work hard for it! No matter how great the pressure is in the future, I hope you stick to it."
HSBC became the world's fourth-largest bank by market capitalization after the 2008 financial crisis, but has been in decline in recent years. And this time we will encounter a huge crisis. The stock price is falling very straightforwardly.
However, the more this is the case, the less likely he will resign voluntarily!
Putting aside the salary and power of the position of CEO of HSBC, he cannot act like a coward! He must continue to fight!
Huang Bijuan nodded, understanding her immediate boss's plan, and hers was the same. A day at this position counts. At least get an extra day's pay!
How can you be so thin-skinned when you are messing around in the workplace?
Not to mention that Fan Ning and Huang Bijuan of HSBC planned to continue to hang out shamelessly, Jing Gao's attacks did not stop.
Breaking the news and igniting public opinion is only the first step. You must know that HSBC is a wealth bank rather than a public bank that accepts deposits. Their greater profits are in wealth management, as well as being the preferred bank for domestic companies to go overseas and provide financial services.
The public's anger actually has a limited impact on them.

On Friday morning, Hong Kong stocks had just opened.
Jesse Cairns, the president of Goldman Sachs China, was already drinking coffee in the trading room. Traders are already in place.
The assistant came forward in a ceremonial manner, bowed slightly and reported: "Mr. Keynes, the time has come."
Jesse Keynes put down the coffee cup in his hand, looked around at the traders, and ordered: "Let's do it!"
The short position has long been established.
Goldman Sachs is the bloodthirsty Wolf of Wall Street! Even though HSBC is essentially a US-owned company, it still has to take action. Just for profit!
…
…
The four major real estate developers on Hong Kong Island (Cheung Kong Holdings Lee, Sun Hung Kai Kwok, New World Cheng, and Henderson Land Development Lee) have a lot of grievances and grudges with each other.
For example, Li Siuji of Henderson Land Development Company, Li Sishu named his son with the same pronunciation as Li Jiacheng. The resentment in his heart is obvious. But there is also a lot of cooperation between them. In a word, business is business.
Since Sun Hung Kai's chairman Kwok Ping-lian and Jing Gao met for "negotiation", the four major real estate developers have become less and less tolerant of Xia Shang Real Estate, a real estate company owned by Jing Gao.
At about 11 o'clock on Friday morning, the heads of four real estate developers were playing golf at the Hong Kong Island Golf Club.
Not long after teeing off, the personal assistants and caddies stayed away knowingly. Leave room for four people to talk.
Up to now, all the four major real estate developers in Hong Kong are headed by second-generation sons. Of course their ages are different.
Li Jiacheng of Henderson Land Development is the youngest. He is 49 years old this year. He has thick hair and an elite style. He is swinging a high-quality golf club. He teased Li Zeju of Cheung Kong Holdings: "Victor, I heard that your brother was photographed in the media two days ago. He got angry at reporters for asking about the election of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. What's going on?
You have nothing to lose from this vote on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange? The biggest loss is HSBC! The ruthless Mr. Jing at the center of the legend did not even take action against Mellon Bank, the culprit in the series. "
Guo Bingling was sixty-eight years old at the time, and he adjusted his glasses out of habit and did not speak.
Zheng Jiachun of New World Group is 74 years old, bald, smiling and silent.
The reason is of course very simple, because Li Zekai was very jumpy in front of the media before, bluntly saying that Jing Gao could not succeed in Hong Kong Island. Now that Superman was slapped in the face by the facts, how could the media not interview him? It has nothing to do with loss.
Li Zeju had a very calm personality and replied: "Martin, there is a problem with your judgment. It's not that Jing Gao doesn't dare to take action against Mellon Bank, but prefers to use HSBC as a breakthrough point. If we are determined to take action against Xia Shang Real Estate, then we will face His reaction is predictable: revenge.
Raymond and Jing Gao discussed this point and reported the results. He didn't even talk about it at the time. It can be seen from this. I think everyone should know this clearly. "
Raymond is Guo Binglian's English name. No matter how big the age gap is, their status is similar, but it is impossible to call them uncle or brother. They are all the helmsmen of one party's overlords and plutocrats, and no one is willing to lower themselves.
Speaking of the meeting at Jinggao Villa in Stanley that day, Guo Bingling actually felt a little unhappy and looked at the blue sky and white clouds on the green in the distance.
That day, Mr. Jing, who was famous all over the world, didn't take him seriously at all. After hearing just one sentence from him, I asked him, "Are you threatening me?" He didn't know how to answer this. Because he really did not dare to threaten this world-famous young tycoon who was under thirty years old! Naturally, the negotiations came to nothing.
Guo Bingling said leisurely: "So we just do nothing and just sit back and watch Xia Shang Real Estate dig up our foundation?"

The real estate situation on Hong Kong Island is very obvious. The four major real estate developers have hoarded large amounts of land. It is no exaggeration to say that these lands are the foundation of their family. And once Xia Shang Real Estate can continue to provide a large amount of housing to the market. Their land hoarding is meaningless.
Zheng Jiachun rubbed his bald head and said slowly: "You still have to take action. Do you want to sit still and wait for death? Our family must advance and retreat together. Only then can we have the capital and strength to compete with Mr. Hengjing! We must first have this consensus. With this time In terms of voting for seats on the board of directors of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, Mr. Jing is undoubtedly very good at dividing and winning!"
Almost a week has passed, and the big bosses here on Hong Kong Island all know that Goldman Sachs has run away with the ticket! However, Mr. Jing's level made them hesitate and dare not make a decision. Because who can guarantee that the four major real estate developers will be united in the face of the pressure from Jinggao?
Very difficult.
There have been too many grievances and hatreds over the years. They have all experienced certain things of the previous generation. But if they don't take action against Xia Shang Real Estate, their fundamental interests will be damaged again. At this moment, HSBC is facing Jing Gao's revenge and is in a turbulent situation. On the contrary, it is the best opportunity.
They must deliver a fatal blow to Igao at the most unlikely moment! Listen to thunder in a silent place.
Li Zeju immediately agreed: "I agree." The Li family was fighting a comprehensive business war with Jing Gao, and he had an urgent desire to curb the young tycoon's ambitions. The Li family should never be a stepping stone to its rise.
Guo Bingling said: "You can do it."
Li Jiacheng shrugged coolly, "You all agree, of course I second the proposal."
Zheng Jiachun nodded.
At this moment, the secretaries of the four people walked towards them quickly with their mobile phones in hand. It was obvious that something big had happened.
"What's going on?" Li Jiacheng asked his assistant casually, not bothering to be patient with the old guys. As the chairman of the board of directors of Henderson Land Development, he has the confidence to remain calm in the face of storms.
The assistant hesitated for a moment, looked at the other three colleagues, and said, "Mr. Li, the stock price of HSBC Bank has plummeted."
Li Zeju, Guo Bingling, and Zheng Jiachun each looked at the assistant. All three of them nodded.
Li Zeju asked in a deep voice: "What's going on? Is Jing Gao shorting HSBC's stock?" HSBC is listed on many stock exchanges around the world, so shorting its stock is still a bit difficult.
The assistant said: "No. Certain news has just come out that HSBC's investment portfolio in European bonds has suffered a huge loss, with an estimated loss of more than US$1 billion. Nothing major has happened recently. It is obvious that someone is shorting European bonds."
Li Zeju, Guo Bingling, Zheng Jiachun, and Li Jiacheng were all stunned immediately. Then they all looked at each other and said goodbye.
Those two at HSBC are screwed. A billion-dollar loss. They have all been ruined by HSBC's reputation, which is routine practice. I didn't expect Jing Gaoxia to be so cruel! Invest directly in HSBC.
How can we not invest in wealth management?
They're so stupid and they're so plotting! That young tycoon is too fierce.
