At the end of February, the morning temperature on Hong Kong Island is moderate. The news of the sharp drop in HSBC's share price spread throughout Hong Kong Island in a very short time.
Not only did the four major real estate developers in Hong Kong stop connecting, but others also saw Mr. Jing’s methods and silenced themselves like quails.
You know, when I came to Hong Kong Island years ago, many people were very noisy. Not only do they not expect Jing Gao to gain anything, but they also look down on him. How can a xx kid compare with Li Chaoren? There are some things that everyone knows.
But now the result is a solid slap in the face to many people.
Now all the pressure comes to the Bank of New York's Greater China headquarters. HSBC's stock price plummeted, its losses exceeded US$1 billion, and its reputation was damaged.
There is no doubt that Fan Ning, the CEO who is currently in charge of HSBC, and Huang Bijuan, who is in direct conflict with Jing Gaoqi, will definitely lose their positions!
Because of this loss of more than US$1 billion, it will be difficult for HSBC to make up for it before the semi-annual report is issued!
In business, the shortest unit of time is "quarterly report", which fully shows that if you want to do projects and make profits, it takes time! It’s impossible to have monthly exams to constantly prove your grades like when you were a student. It’s also impossible to watch it for a few days and follow the protagonist and feel great!
This is all in order.
Having said that, business results are displayed on a quarterly basis at the earliest. It seems that businessmen will have a strategic vision. But on the contrary, examples throughout the ages tell us that capital is often short-sighted!
Because for Zhengzhi, making decisions on a quarterly basis, or even on an annual basis, can be called short-sighted! Those who plan for the overall situation must have at least five years of vision.
So, the two HSBC guys are dead.
Brother Jing is cruel and cunning, Brother Gao is cunning and cruel!
Could such a young and capable tycoon forget what the Bank of New York did to him? You know, the Bank of New York’s plan is to cut off Jing Gao’s influence on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange! I would be sorry for Mr. Jianghu Nakai's rumors if he didn't go to death.
It was in this atmosphere that Luke Fraser, president of the Bank of New York's Greater China region, met with Guo Lingyu, executive director of the Bank of East Asia. The location is in the clubhouse at No. 1 Shencheng Bay, the top luxury residential area in Shenzhen.
Everyone knows that this "Queen Guo" is the one who really calls the shots at Bank of East Asia! The chairman of the board of directors, Irwin, is only in name only.
"Ms. Guo, you look great and extremely beautiful!" Luke Fraser praised Guo Lingyu at the first sight in the luxurious club box. A courtesy compliment that goes far beyond the status of both parties. It can be called kneeling and licking.
The end of February in the South is as warm as mid-spring. Guo Lingyu is wearing a light blue one-line collar and a slim-fitting dress with ruffles. She has a height of 1.7 meters, tall 36th peak, and extremely plump and graceful figure. Wearing a white coat from Prada, she has the delicate and bright feeling of a thirty-three-year-old woman who has been nourished.
"Thanks."
Guo Lingyu was in a great mood after being complimented. During this time, she lived in the Stanley Villa in Jinggao. She stayed with her lover every day, and she naturally became more and more beautiful. Alice would come over from time to time. She gestured for Luke Fraser to take a seat, "Mr. Fraser, what do you want to see me for?"
Given her position in the financial market of Hong Kong Island, she was obviously a guest, but instead invited Luke Fraser to sit down. This was unimaginable before.
Although Bank of New York is not a top investment bank like Goldman Sachs and JPMorgan Chase, it is also an established financial giant. Such U.S.-funded institutions often mean dimensionality-reducing blows in the Asian financial field.
Except for the branches of domestic official banks on Hong Kong Island, the only thing that can be compared in Asia is Japanese capital: represented by Mizuho Bank.
The bank often speaks out, and its international peers also recognize their judgment. The Japanese yen is a safe-haven currency in today's financial world, so it is natural that financial institutions can support it.
However, now that Igao is carrying the power of victory, Luke Fraser no longer has any advantageous position in front of her. Even his status is a little lower than hers.
Guo Lingyu has been working at Goldman Sachs China for a long time, and her working location is Hong Kong Island. So Luke Fraser has Guo Lingyu’s phone number. He specially invited Guo Lingyu to meet in Shencheng to keep it secret.
"Ms. Guo, can you remove me from the feud between Lanny Mellon and Mr. Jing! I didn't agree with being an enemy of Mr. Jing in the first place."
Guo Lingyu looked at Luke Fraser's serious face of a middle-aged man and almost spit out his coffee with laughter. This is lying to your face! It's a shame he said it so seriously. Stirring the coffee with a small silver spoon, he said calmly: "How could you not know about this? After all, Lanny Mellon is just a director."
Seeing that Luke Fraser was still arguing, he waved his hand and said, "Tell me what bargaining chips you can bring!"
Luke Fraser can survive in the workplace and naturally has a thick skin, and he just smiles when exposed in person. After thinking for a while, he said: "
With Mr. Jing's methods, it must be easy to make the Bank of New York's profits in Greater China look ugly. At that time, both Lanny Mellon and I will resign. But that's all.
I have some data on Lanny Mellon's internal violations, and I can promote the Bank of New York's internal investigation of Lanny Mellon. There is no guarantee that he will be sent to prison, but he will definitely be riddled with lawsuits within a year and be miserable. He eventually signed a high settlement amount, causing him to bleed heavily. "
Guo Lingyu smiled and picked up the exquisite white porcelain coffee cup with her slender hands. Although she was a plump beauty, she did not look fat, which was unhealthy. Her hands are beautiful. Said: "The Mellon family would let you do this? I heard that the current head of the Mellon family, Andre Mellon, is quite powerful in the New York circle."
Luke Fraser said: "Ms. Guo, after the merger of Bank of New York and Mellon Corporation, there is a reason why it is called Bank of New York Mellon Corporation instead of Mellon Corporation Bank of New York. My headquarters in New York There are also important people who appreciate me.”
"That's not enough."
Luke Fraser: "I can be Mr. Jing's pawn in the Bank of New York. To this end, I am willing to handwrite a written document of allegiance to the Bank of East Asia, including my disposal of Lanny Mellon. Once it is announced, I will be destroyed."
Guo Lingyu blinked her beautiful big eyes in surprise. It seemed that Luke Fraser was really desperate! All these constraints are removed.
She didn't know that Luke Fraser would be in danger of going bankrupt once he lost his position at the Bank of New York. In a capitalist society like America, the consequences of personal bankruptcy will be very miserable.
"Okay, I'll think about it. That's it for today, keep in touch."
…
…
Guo Lingyu reported the situation after returning to the luxurious villa in Jinggao, Stanley. Jing Gao was resting on the balcony facing the private beach. Accompanying him were his assistants Gu Xixi and Zhang Li from Shanghai.
Jing Gao listened to Guo Lingyu's report and said with a smile: "Look how scared this kid is! His suggestion is interesting. A dead Taoist friend is not a poor Taoist. Give it a try."
The three beauties covered their mouths and smiled coquettishly. what? How come a financial elite who is decades old is now a child?
