Chapter 605 Jewelry Exhibition 5
Shen Bi has been watching Bao Zixuan chatting with Bauhaus-Sanderson. Shen Bi really wants to take care of Heiyun Group, the owner of HSBC. However, we also know that our strength is limited. At this time, HSBC simply does not have the strength to clear up the dark clouds.
I knew that Bao Zixuan had some relationship with the Rothschild family, but I didn't know what specific agreement was reached. He wished that the Rothschild family could clean up Bao Zixuan, which would be a great thing for HSBC. Although the threat from the Rothschild family may be greater, after all, everyone is British, and the government does not dare to go too far with the Rothschild Bank.
This is the difference between Shen Bi and Bauhaus-Sanderson. HSBC has a deep conflict with Bao Zixuan, which can be said to be basically irreconcilable. If the Rothschild family can clean up Bao Zixuan, it will definitely be beneficial to HSBC. Moreover, Shen Bi is just a professional manager. Even if the Rothschild family controls the entire British banking industry, they still need someone to help them take care of it.
Although Bauhaus-Sanderson and Bao Zixuan are not true allies, they are still partners. There is no problem at all if the two parties support each other, but it won't necessarily be the case after Rothschild Bank enters the Hong Kong market.
In addition, Bauhaus-Sanderson is the son of the family who is most promising to take over as the patriarch. Of course, he does not want to be unable to make decisions about the affairs of the Sanderson family. No one wants to find a king for themselves.
Shen Bi knew that he could no longer sit here and wait for death. If Standard Chartered and Black Cloud unite, and Rothschild enters Hong Kong, HSBC will definitely decline, and he must find a way to get involved.
Zheng Yutong did not expect that a good jewelry exhibition would turn into a bank networking meeting because of his promotion. No one dared to take it lightly when facing the Rothschild family. At this time, all the tycoons in Xiangjiang's queue came to the scene, and no matter what kind of forces they were, they wanted to leave a way out for themselves.
If Mr. Shark knew that introducing the Rothschild family would affect jewelry sales, he would not do so even if he were killed. This would be like shooting himself in the foot.
Shen Bi thought that he couldn't let Bao Zixuan and the kid from the Sanderson family chat so happily, especially in front of him. So he walked towards them, walked up to them and said with a smile: "What are the two juniors talking about! I'm not disturbing you!"
Seeing that it was Shen Bi coming over, neither Bao Zixuan nor Baohaus-Sanderson wanted to pay attention to him. However, it is impossible for people to greet you politely without giving any face. We are all people on the stage, at least on the surface, we must be decent.
Bauhaus-Sanderson thought to himself that the old boy must have bad intentions if he came here even after being disturbed.
Bao Zixuan said with a smile: "What did Senior Shen say? Why bother? We haven't seen Senior for a long time, and we miss you so much. We thought HSBC had transferred you back to the UK headquarters!"
It can be said that there is nothing wrong with what Bao Zixuan said on the surface, but everyone knows that HSBC is headquartered in the UK. However, the main office is in Xiangjiang. Basically all the core and senior management of the group are in Xiangjiang. Most of the people working in London are marginal figures. This does not tell the world that Shen Bi has been marginalized.
Bauhaus-Sanderson continued: "Senior Shen is an elite figure in the British Empire and an absolute authority in the economic field. I heard that the Ministry of Finance wants to transfer you back to London and entrust you with important tasks. This opportunity is rare. Now the prospects of HSBC It’s not very clear, especially after Rothschild Bank enters the Hong Kong market, I don’t want my reputation to be ruined in Hong Kong.”
Bao Zixuan didn't understand what Bauhaus-Sanderson meant, but Shen Bi knew it very well. The place Shen Bi wanted to go most back then was the Ministry of Finance, and his ideal was to become the British Chancellor of the Exchequer. However, he was rejected because of his background and ability, so he came to Hong Kong and Shanghai Banking Corporation, which was an eternal pain in his heart.
It can be said that not many people know about this. Bauhaus-Sanderson also heard his grandfather say so. Thinking that Shen Bi had already been offended during the last fight for the coinage share, it wouldn't be too much this time.
In addition, Bao Zixuan is right next to you. If you still act ambiguous, who will treat you as an ally? At this time, the biggest threat to Standard Chartered Bank is HSBC. Only after HSBC is dealt with can we think about other things.
Hearing that Bauhaus-Sanderson actually brought up things that happened decades ago, this is not just looking for trouble. The more successful a person is, the more he wants to prove himself in front of the company that did not choose him back then, but there are some things that he is not willing to let a junior expose him to.
Shen Bi: "Let the Ministry of Finance be left to you young people! After all, HSBC is the largest bank in Hong Kong; how can you leave so easily as a senior executive? I used to think about retiring early. But now I have changed my mind. There are so many young talents in the empire." Jun entered the banking industry in Hong Kong, and he will teach you a lesson before leaving."
"This can be regarded as cultivating talents for the British Empire. It is a rare opportunity to have free teachers."
It can be said that the words of the three people are hidden in words and daggers in words. However, there were too many people coming today, and several of them were the focus of attention, so no one had much time to communicate.
Shen Bi wanted to say something more, but both Baohaus-Sanderson and Bao Zixuan were called away. As long as the two of them don't communicate in front of him, Shen Bi doesn't feel so uncomfortable. As for what the two of them are willing to do after they go back, he doesn't care!
Bao Zixuan was called over by Li Shauji. It can be said that both of them were very satisfied with the transaction process of China Gas and New Territories land. Now they have become important partners. The most important thing is that there is not much conflict of interest between the two parties. After all, they are in different industries.
Lee Shau Kee said with a smile: "Sheng Bao has now acquired all the land in the New Territories. I don't know if there are any specific development plans."
Bao Zixuan suddenly thought that these real estate companies in Xiangjiang not only have development companies, but also have supporting construction teams. The real estate market is now sluggish and the operating rate is seriously insufficient. Ordinary workers don't need to be paid when work is not in operation, but the management team still has to continue to support them.
With so many people paying wages every day but not working, no one can bear it after a long time. The most important thing is that if there are no jobs, people cannot be retained, and workers have to live; they must be compensated appropriately no matter what.
Lee Shau Kee must be asking this because he wants to take over the Heiyun Town project. It seems very possible.
Bao Zixuan: "We are currently doing planning and design drawings, and we will start construction as soon as we return from Kyoto."
Li Zhaoji didn't expect Bao Zixuan to be so fast, and it seemed that he had to adjust his thinking. Many real estate companies in Xiangjiang like to sell land. After acquiring the land, they will wait for the right time to develop it.
Lee Shau Kee: "Then I don't know how Bao Sheng's construction team is looking for. The construction team under Henderson Land Development is very professional."
Bao Zixuan thought that although Li Zhaoji was undertaking the project for himself this time, he also helped Hei Yun a lot. It is necessary to let people get some benefits based on circumstances and reasons, not to mention that it is not practical for anyone to use it. This time, Heiyun Town is basically low-rise buildings, which require relatively high craftsmanship. In addition, the materials are all purchased internally by Heiyun. There should be no major problems with Xiangjiang's existing construction team.
The most difficult thing is the group headquarters building. At worst, the Germans will be invited to come over. However, we cannot hire foreign construction teams for all buildings, otherwise the costs will be unbearable.
Bao Zixuan said with a smile: "Even if Li Sheng doesn't come to me, I still want to wait until he comes back from the mainland to make an appointment with you. If Henderson's construction team has time, Heiyun Group does have many projects; as long as the price is reasonable, the construction period is guaranteed, and Quality Li Sheng can undertake as many projects as he wants."
"You should also understand my plan. The total construction area this time will exceed 100 million square meters. Li Sheng can have people prepare in advance. Infrastructure construction must be started in advance."
Hearing that Bao Zixuan was giving face like this, Li Shauji felt that there was really nothing to say about cooperating with Bao Zixuan. Not only did he get the shares he wanted, he could also undertake the project. It seems that we need to communicate more in the future, so that if there is any business, we will think of ourselves.
After that, they chatted for a few words and then separated. After all, in Chow Tai Fook's home court, the conversation couldn't go too deep.
Today's exhibition makes Shadantong very disappointed. I originally wanted to take this opportunity to promote diamond jewelry. Let Miss Rothschild see Chow Tai Fook’s strength and connections. But who would have thought that the super tycoon who came here mainly exchanged banking business, and not many people bought jewelry at all.
Not many people attended the dinner party at all. Everyone came in the morning to cheer and then left. This made the dinner scene very deserted, and Zheng Yutong's face turned dark when he returned home.
