"I'm going to die, I'm going to die! How can you offend Boss Li?"
After Li Jiacheng left, Liu Fu was anxious all over the room.
"These Chaozhou people cannot be offended, they are very vindictive! Also, this Boss Li is very clever and never wants to suffer losses. If he doesn't get the land this time, he will definitely not let you go! Ah Xiao, you You are still too young to know the dangers of the world. The more smiling a person is, the more ulterior motives they have!"
"Master Fu, are you talking about yourself?" Du Yongxiao said, "Everyone says you are Maitreya Buddha!"
"Buddha! I'm telling you the truth, I'm not joking with you! You'd better deal with it!" Liu Fu walked up to Du Yongxiao and patted his shoulder, "If there is a problem in catching the thief, the worst he can do is get a few stabs; but If you offend these powerful people, you won’t even know how to die!”
Liu Fu looked nervous, and Du Yongxiao felt warm, knowing that he was caring about him.
"Don't worry, Mr. Fu, I have already planned it."
Liu Fu nodded, "Whether it's true or not, you have to decide for yourself! Also, the red envelope I talked about with you today must be delivered first. If you go bankrupt, I won't even have a hair on my head!"
Du Yongxiao talked to Liu Fu for a few more words, then comforted Liu Fu and left Lu Yu Tea House.
A jeep was waiting for him outside. Zhuang Dingxian, who was Du Yongxiao's personal bodyguard and driver, was smoking. Seeing Du Yongxiao appear, he quickly put out the cigarette butts, "Du Sheng, are you going to Biandu?"
"HSBC!" Du Yongxiao said, "I'm going to meet that foreign executive."
Others don't know it, but Du Yongxiao knows that these wealthy Chinese businessmen in Hong Kong are not all rich and powerful from birth, and they dominate the world.
Li Jiacheng is like this, Bao Yugang is like this, Huo Yingdong and others are like this.
Behind their success, there is a foreign boss who is silently supporting them, and that person is HSBC executive Shen Bi.
Before 1967, Hong Kong's economy was controlled by several major British business houses, especially Jardine Matheson, Wheelock, Hutchison Whampoa, Swire and other companies. Shen Bi is a banker with unique vision. He broke the tradition, decisively supported the development of Chinese businessmen, and led HSBC to go global. Only then did HSBC become what it is today, and only then did Hong Kong Chinese businessmen achieve what they have today.
Bao Yugang was planning to enter the shipping industry, but he lacked funds. Shen Bi took a fancy to Bao Yugang's business strategy. At that time, shipping companies were using short-term rentals to make money. Although the profit is high, the ship also has a lot of dead time. Bao Yugang broke with tradition and leased the ship directly to customers. In this way, although the profit is less, in the long run, the benefits are actually greater.
Shen Bi liked Bao Yugang's strategy and strongly supported Bao Yugang. Bao Yugang received financial support from HSBC and purchased ships on a large scale. In less than 20 years, he became the world's shipping king. Bao Yugang's success is partly due to his own efforts and partly to the support of HSBC.
After Shen Bi took charge of HSBC, he gave even greater support to Chinese businessmen. At that time, HSBC and the Yangtze River Group jointly built the Chinese People's Bank of China Building, and Li Jiacheng left a very good impression on Shen Bi.
Later, due to heavy debts, the Qi Dezun family even mortgaged Hong Kong's largest company, Hutchison Whampoa, to HSBC.
Shen Bi has always wanted to find a reliable controller for Hutchison Whampoa, because he does not want to simply cash out and make a profit. He hopes to hold Hutchison shares for the long term.
When Bao Yugang mentioned Li Jiacheng to Shen Bi, Shen Bi immediately agreed despite all objections.
Although Li Jiacheng was not the first-class rich man in Hong Kong at that time, Shen Bi recognized Li Jiacheng's ability very much. So Shen Bi transferred 90 million ordinary shares of Hutchison Whampoa to Li Jiacheng's Yangtze River Group at a price of 7.1 yuan. This price was only half of the market price at that time. Li Jiacheng became the executive director of Hutchison Whampoa and later became the general manager of Hutchison Whampoa.
For this reason, Shen Bi made a profit of 540 million, and at the same time found the best leader for Hutchison Whampoa. After that, under the leadership of Li Jiacheng, Hutchison Whampoa's stock doubled dozens of times, and the dividends were countless. As another major shareholder of Hutchison Whampoa, HSBC has also made a lot of profits. This also proves Shen Bi's vision.
With Shen Bi's support, Chinese businessmen gradually took control of Hong Kong's economy in the 1980s, and British foreign companies were retreating steadily.
It can be seen that Shen Bi can be regarded as a wealthy man in Hong Kong.
The boss among the bosses behind Hao.
As someone who has been through this, Du Yongxiao certainly understands the importance of being on the same line as Shen Bi.
Originally, he had no reason to contact Shen Bi to "connect with each other", but Li Jiacheng's sudden appearance helped Du Yongxiao find a good excuse.
"Du Yongxiao?"
In the office of the president of HSBC, Shen Bi was correcting documents. Suddenly his secretary came in and reported that a young man named Du Yongxiao wanted to see him.
"I didn't date him, and I don't know him either." Shen Bi refused.
The secretary said: "He said Mr. Shen that you must meet him. He has just finished discussing the acquisition of land in Causeway Bay with Mr. Li Jiacheng."
Shen Bi's eyes lit up, "I remembered, it turns out that this Du Yongxiao is that Inspector Du! It's very interesting, let him in!"
Shen Bi was originally curious about Du Yongxiao. After all, being able to remain indifferent in the face of five million was not something ordinary people could do.
Soon Du Yongxiao was led into the office by his secretary.
"Hello, Mr. Shen, I'm Du Yongxiao." Du Yongxiao greeted him proactively.
Shen Bi sat on the chair without getting up. Instead, he looked at Du Yongxiao. After a moment, he pointed to the sofa and said, "Please sit down."
Du Yongxiao smiled slightly and found a place to sit down.
Shen Bi asked his secretary to prepare coffee and said, "I didn't expect Mr. Du to be so young. I remember well. Are you a detective?"
"Yes, I belong to the Kowloon Police Station."
"Young and promising." Shen Bi nodded, took out a cigar and motioned to Du Yongxiao, "Want one?"
"no thanks!"
When Shen Bi saw this, he lit one, smoked it, and asked Du Yongxiao, "What does Du Sheng want from me?"
"If I say that I am here to request a loan, what will Mr. Shen think?"
"Haha, what do you think? I am a businessman, you can get a loan, as long as there is a mortgage!"
"No mortgage."
"No mortgage? Unfortunately, our bank's rules require that loans require mortgage!" Shen Bi shrugged, "So our negotiation ends here!"
Du Yongxiao smiled, "Then let me put it another way - I'm here today to help you!"
"Uh, help me, what do you say?"
"I remember well, Chief Shen, your position is only temporary, isn't it? The former Chief asked you to take over temporarily because of his health! So are you interested... once and for all?" Du Yongxiao looked at Shen Bi and smiled like a fox. .
Shen Bi's heart skipped a beat.
Du Yongxiao poked his head.
That's right, now he is just a temporary substitute for the big class, not the real big class.
For the ambitious Shen Bi, now that he has taken this position, he has no intention of going down.
