Reborn in Hong Kong in 1982. In this year, the four major foreign trading houses were gradually declining. The top ten financial magnates and the four major families had already stepped onto the hi...
In the office, Li Guowei was carefully looking at the information about the Jianing Group, but he felt a little uneasy deep in his heart.
During this period, he, Ho Sin Hang, and other senior executives of Hang Seng Bank have invested a large amount of their own funds to short-sell banks and cooperative enterprises such as Carrian and HSBC that have lent money to Carrian Group.
At the same time, they are also trying their best to consume Hang Seng Bank's funds and create the illusion that Hang Seng Bank is running out of funds.
It is for one purpose only, which is to take back control of Hang Seng Bank from HSBC.
This will allow Hang Seng Bank to truly develop independently in Hong Kong, rather than becoming a subsidiary of HSBC.
Although he had only met Mo Zhexuan once, he admired his foresight very much.
So I really want to know what Mo Zhexuan’s judgment is on the future of Hong Kong.
The Iron Lady has decided to go to Beijing for negotiations in September, and the outcome of the negotiations will have a huge impact on Hong Kong.
If all goes well, even if the Jardine Group goes bankrupt, HSBC will only lose money.
This is far from being a serious injury, so it would undoubtedly be extremely difficult to regain control of Hang Seng Bank.
If things don't go well, it will be a huge blow to HSBC.
By negotiating with HSBC's senior management at this time, perhaps we can regain control of Hang Seng Bank.
"Bang, bang, bang!..."
"Boss Li! Mr. Mo has arrived."
"Xiao Li! Go make Xiaoxuan a cup of tea with my treasured Yingde black tea."
Li Guowei sent his secretary away and warmly welcomed Mo Zhexuan in.
Then the two of them drank tea and chatted on the sofa.
"Uncle Li! If you have any questions, just tell me! I will definitely help if I can."
When Mo Zhexuan came, he guessed the purpose of Li Guowei calling him. Although he was not completely clear about it, he could guess it almost right.
"Xiao Mo! Uncle Li wants to ask for your opinion on the future of Hong Kong. If the Carrian Group really goes bankrupt, what will be the impact?"
Li Guowei took a sip of tea, pondered for a moment, and then asked the question he wanted to ask, then looked at Mo Zhexuan expectantly.
"I guess Hang Seng Bank has also invested a lot of money to short the Carrian Group!"
“I guess so!”
Li Guowei's answer made Mo Zhexuan uncertain, because of the information channel of Hang Seng Bank.
I must have investigated all the information about the Jianing Group.
So why do we still ask ourselves about the future situation of Hong Kong?
This is completely unrelated if Hang Seng Bank wants to short the Carrian Group.
Then based on the information I told you last time, as long as we investigate carefully, the truth will definitely come out.
Once the news is announced at that time, the huge Jianing Group will collapse immediately.
So there is no reason for him to come to me specifically to ask about the future situation of Hong Kong.
So what exactly is the reason why Li Guowei is so concerned about the impact of the bankruptcy of the Carrian Group on Hong Kong?
I immediately thought about what would happen if the Jianing Group really went bankrupt.
Who will cause greater losses to Hong Kong? The answer is obvious when you think about it. It is undoubtedly HSBC.
When Mo Zhexuan learned the answer, he was puzzled.
Because HSBC is the largest shareholder of Hang Seng Bank, if Hang Seng Bank shorts the Jardine Matheson Group.
Could HSBC, as a major shareholder, not be aware of this? This would indicate that Li Guowei and his group definitely did not use Hang Seng Bank's funds to short sell.
Thinking of this, Mo Zhexuan suddenly had a flash of enlightenment in his mind, and said incredulously:
"Uncle Li! Let's be frank. I suspect you and Mr. Ho Sin Hang, the founder of Hang Seng Bank, are planning to use the bankruptcy of the Carrian Group to free Hang Seng Bank from HSBC's control!"
As soon as these words were spoken, Li Guowei's face changed on the spot, although it returned to normal in the blink of an eye.
But Mo Zhexuan saw it clearly, and his guess was further confirmed.
"Xiao Mo! HSBC is the equivalent of Hong Kong's quasi-central bank. It not only has the right to issue banknotes from the Hong Kong government."
"Hang Seng Bank's strong capabilities are also spread across the country and abroad. Only under the protection of HSBC can it continue to grow."
"Otherwise, it would have been reduced to dust in the 1965 bank run, so your guess is wrong."
Li Guowei's heart is in turmoil right now.
I didn't expect that Mo Zhexuan could guess my purpose based on just a few words.
This made me admire the young man's keen vision even more, and I secretly thought to myself: This boy has a bright future!
"Uncle Li! As for your real purpose? I think you know it yourself. You asked me about my opinion on the future of Hong Kong."
"I can tell you clearly that the Iron Lady will definitely return disappointed from this visit."
"Because the East is no longer the same as it was in the past where Western countries could conquer it simply by setting up a few cannons."
"So if you want to achieve your goal, I advise you to find a strong bank to cling to, and that bank is Huaxia Bank. This is my advice to you, and the decision is yours."
Mo Zhexuan recalled the memories of Hong Kong in later generations and expressed his views frankly.
In his opinion, it would be a pipe dream and impossible for Hang Seng Bank to break free from the control of HSBC without strong support.
If we cooperate with the future Bank of China Group, there may be a chance, of course, the prerequisite is that HSBC Group can compromise.
