Chapter 808 The final battle begins (7K chapter, please subscribe~)
The Hong Kong government wanted to stabilize Hong Kong's economy at this time, and even Hong Kong governor Youde personally approached Chu Huan, but Chu Huan was rejected by Chu Huan, which made Youde feel helpless.
At this time, he really realized Chu Huan's status in Xiangjiang.
I just knew it before, but I didn’t have a clear concept.
It's just that it's different now. The Secretary of the Counselor himself said such a sentence to himself, which made him truly understand Chu Huan's influence in Xiangjiang.
"Robishi, I remember you weren't very satisfied with Chu Huan before?"
Robert nodded: "It is true. I have never concealed this, but it is also because of this that I know one thing."
"How powerful is Chu Huan?" Youde couldn't help asking, although it was a question, but in fact the tone was already very certain.
Robert said: "That's right, Governor of Hong Kong, you should know that there is a saying in Huaguo, that the person who knows you best is often your enemy!"
At this point, Luo Bishi paused before continuing: "It is precisely because I understand Chu Huan's strength that I understand that if we want our political career to have a perfect ending, then we should not follow Chu Huan. Chu Huan is the enemy, and Xia Dingji, the former financial secretary, just didn't understand this truth, so there was such an ending!"
Youde knew about Xia Dingji's situation, and when he heard Robert mention Xia Dingji, Youde finally stopped talking.
.
Xiangjiang's economy can't be stabilized if anyone wants to say it's stable, at least for the current Youde, it can't be done.
In the next few days, "Shengbao" reported on Xiangjiang's economic situation every day, because his headlines were exaggerated and exciting enough, which made many citizens of Xiangjiang begin to know about this newspaper.
And their behavior has attracted the attention of other newspapers in Xiangjiang. The media industry in Xiangjiang has no morals. The whole Xiangjiang knows this. Now everyone sees that the sales of "Shengbao" are rising steadily because of their headlines. , then they are naturally... imitating the example!
So reports that frightened the citizens of Xiangjiang began to appear in major newspapers. In fact, these reports were more reprints of the content of "Sheng Bao".
In the report of "Shengbao", Xie Liyuan Gold Shop was the company mentioned most times, and when other newspapers learned from others, they would naturally mention Xie Liyuan Gold Shop!
At this time, Xie Zhichao finally pulled his mind back to his son, and he already felt the seriousness of this matter.
"Have you found out the origin of this "Sheng Bao"?" At this time, Xie Zhichao was furious in his office.
Lin Jiamin also had a very headache at this time, and said: "I have already investigated, this "Shengbao" was a low-level newspaper before, and it usually reports the gossip of some entertainment stars, so there is no merit. In the past few days I don't know what's wrong, it seems to be eyeing our company, every time some bad news is reported, it will always bring our company!"
Xie Zhichao said angrily: "Who asked you this? I asked if I could find the boss of this newspaper? Now let them report like this. If it continues, the depositors of the gold shop will come to withdraw cash!"
This is what Xie Zhichao is most worried about. At that time, Xie Liyuan Gold Shop thought of the "thousand-foot gold accumulation plan" and indeed brought a lot of cash to their company, but everything has advantages and disadvantages. When the market is good , Naturally, hello, me, hello, everyone.
But if the market conditions change and trigger depositors to withdraw wildly, then their company will be over!
So Xie Zhichao wanted to find the boss of "Shengbao" and ask him not to report this matter any more.
Lin Jiamin said timidly: "We have already looked for it, but the employees of "Sheng Bao" said that their boss sold the company to immigrants a while ago, and now they only have a ghost as the new president. He also wrote the content of Sheng Bao!"
Xie Zhichao was a little dazed. At this time, he had a bad feeling that "Shengbao" was suddenly sold, and then there were more reports about Xie Liyuan Gold Shop. Could these two things have some connection?
While Xie Zhichao was thinking about this, someone suddenly ran into Xie Zhichao's office.
Xie Zhichao is a man of rules, so when he saw someone rushing into his office, he immediately showed dissatisfaction and reprimanded him.
"How flustered are you? The people in our company should be in front of the mountain and never change their faces. If people outside see you like this, they will think that something is wrong with our company!"
The people who came in could no longer care about Xie Zhichao's reprimand, and they preached in panic.
"Chairman, something has happened. I just received the latest news that the international gold price has risen to 1,500 Hong Kong dollars per tael. The company's gold reserves are simply not enough. If there is a liquidation incident, it will be troublesome!"
Xie Liyuan Gold Store's "Thousands of Gold Accumulation Plan" uses the citizens of Xiangjiang to deposit fixed funds into Xie Liyuan Gold Store in a certain period of time, and Xie Liyuan Gold Store's commitment is that no matter at what time, Xie Liyuan Gold Store's depositors, You only need to come to Xie Liyuan Gold Shop with the voucher at that time, and you can exchange for a full amount of gold.
But now that the price of gold has risen, coupled with the newspaper's repeated reports of bad news about Xie Liyuan Gold Shop, it will completely touch the sensitive nerves of those depositors.
The squeeze event is very likely to happen!
"what?"
Xie Zhichao, who was still reprimanding his subordinates for the collapse of Mount Tai just now without changing his face, jumped up on the sofa at this moment, and asked in horror: "Are there many people?"
Obviously, he also knew the seriousness of this matter.
The person who came said something that made Xie Zhichao's back shiver, "There are not many people now, but many people are coming one after another. In addition, I believe that after the news spreads in Xiangjiang, more people will come. of!"
Xie Zhichao was completely panicked at this time, and said to Lin Jiamin: "Call, quickly call Hang Lung Bank and tell them that we need to borrow money, hurry up, and call Zheng Yutong, Chen Chongwei, Zhou Junlian, and find a way to save money." Some of the gold is transferred from them!"
The most fearful thing about such an event is that they cannot provide enough gold for depositors. At the same time, if the gold is really insufficient, they can only give the other party cash at the current price of gold.
If Chu Huan has any problems during the exchange process, then a liquidation event will inevitably occur.
Needless to say, Zheng Yutong is the chairman of Chow Tai Fook, and Zhou Junlian is the chairman of Xiangjiang Chow Sang Sang. As for Chen Chongwei, he is not well-known among ordinary people in Xiangjiang, but he is still very famous among the wealthy families of Xiangjiang. .
In addition, this person's company, Jubaohang, is also not well-known in later generations. The main reason is that Jubaohang was engaged in advanced customization business at that time, and ordinary people had no access to it.
But this person does have a daughter, which is well known to everyone, and that is Xiangjiang female singer Chen Huilin!
Chow Tai Fook, Chow Sang Sang, Jubaohang, and Xie Liyuan can be regarded as the four most famous jewelry companies in Xiangjiang during this period.
I called them because I hoped to mobilize some gold from them, and I called Hang Lung Bank because Hang Lung Bank is the cooperative bank of Xie Liyuan Gold Shop.
Lin Jiamin also understood the seriousness of the matter and immediately started making calls.
Xie Zhichao answered the phone and said sincerely: "Brother Zheng, I hope your company can help our company this time!"
The first call was to Zheng Yutong.
.
Chinese Walk, in Chu Huan's office on the top floor!
Xu Yi just hung up a phone call, and then said to Chu Huan: "Boss, there is going to be chaos outside, and many people have started to go to Xie Liyuan Gold Shop to withdraw cash. In this situation, Xie Liyuan Gold Shop must send money to the other three jewelers. banks for help, and will certainly seek help from their cooperative banks.
Shall we call the owners of the three major jewelry stores? "
Chu Huan waved his hand and said: "No, we don't need to take action on this matter, those three people will not help Xie Zhichao!"
There is a competitive relationship between peers. If it is normal, maybe everyone will help out because they are all doing business in Xiangjiang.
But in the current market situation, Xiangjiang’s economy has begun to decline, and everyone is too busy to take care of themselves. How can it be possible to help Xie Liyuan Gold Shop!
What's more, the three major jewelry companies don't actually have much gold reserves, so they can't help even if they want to!
In fact, in another time and space, Xie Zhichao also asked for help from the three major jewelry stores, but he did not get a response. As for their partner bank, Hang Lung!
Hang Lung in this period is also overwhelmed. The most important thing is that as long as the liquidation incident happens, Xie Liyuan Gold Shop will collapse, even if it wants to help, it will not be able to help!
So Chu Huan rejected Xu Yi's suggestion.
This incident is actually the second introduction that Chu Huan was waiting for. In another time and space, the collapse of Xie Liyuan Gold Shop triggered a bank run in Xiangjiang, and the whole incident lasted for several years.
During this period, Hang Lung, Overseas Trust, Sun Hung Kai, K. Wah, Wing On, Youlian, and Kang Nian were hit one after another, and even changed owners.
What Chu Huan has to do is to break this timeline and try to make it all happen within a month.
That's why "Sheng Bao" continued to report on various financial crisis news, and at the same time focused on Xie Liyuan Jinpu.
"Success News" was naturally acquired by a middle-level manager of the North American league under Chu Huan's order.
"Has Thatcher announced the time to visit China?"
Chu Huan asked Xu Yi.
This is what Chu Huan is most concerned about at this time. Since he has promised his hometown to stabilize Xiangjiang's economy after the negotiations between his hometown and England are over, what Chu Huan has to do now is to ensure that he will visit Thatcher. After Huaguo, all the mess in front of me will be over.
Xu Yi nodded, and said: "According to the information we have received, Thatcher has decided to officially start visiting his hometown on the 22nd of next month. This news has also been notified to his hometown, and I believe it will be announced soon!"
Chu Huan laughed, everything went as he had planned, as long as this news was made public, it would immediately have an impact on Xiangjiang's economy, and it would be possible to help Chu Huan complete all this within a month.
"Notify "Victory News" to focus on Hang Lung Bank and Overseas Trust Bank. We will completely ignite this fire within this month!"
Xu Yi said: "Understood!"
.
The development of the situation completely exceeded Xie Zhichao's expectations. He thought that even if everyone came to withdraw cash, they shouldn't be so crazy, but the citizens slapped Xie Zhichao in the face with their crazy behavior!
At this time, Xie Zhichao was standing in front of the French windows of his office. His office was not high, because it was just above the flagship store of Xie Liyuan Gold Shop. Naturally, there was no way to overlook the beautiful scenery of Xiangjiang, but Xie Zhichao could stand by his window every day. Before, appreciate those customers who come to Xie Liyuan Gold Shop to buy gold, there is an endless stream of customers.
But today is different. Although there are more people in Xie Liyuan Gold Shop today than in previous days, these people are not here to spend money, but to withdraw money and gold!
These people have no order in the past now, and madness is the only word that can describe them.
"It's over!"
Xie Zhichao finally understood at this time that Xie Liyuan Gold Shop might not be able to hold on.
In fact, when Hang Lung Bank refused to help Xie Zhichao in the three major jewelry stores, Xie Zhichao understood that Xie Liyuan Gold Shop might not be able to keep it.
It is always easier to destroy than to build.
Xie Liyuan Gold Shop was established in the Qing Dynasty, and it has a history of hundreds of years. It can be said that Xie Liyuan Gold Shop has come to the present step by step.
It turned out that the collapse was only an instant thing.
The only thing that makes Xie Zhichao happy now is that the Xie family, as a family that has been passed down for hundreds of years, still has some heritage. That is to say, even if the Xie Liyuan Gold Shop really closes down, their family will not really be doomed, but the family's wealth It must be affected.
"Chairman, Guo Guandong, General Manager of Xiangjiang Department of Imperial Fashion Group, is here!"
Lin Jiamin also looked mournful at this time.
Xie Zhichao was stunned for a moment, and asked, "What is he here for?"
Empire Fashion Group is a very strange group in Xiangjiang. If you say she is famous, she must be famous. After all, this is the world's top luxury group, and their chairman is Chu Huan's wife Cao Yunshang.
But this group has no sense of presence in Xiangjiang.
To put it simply, the most important thing is that although the Empire Fashion Group is a Hong Kong group, their brands are all overseas luxury brands, and there is only one fashion brand.
In addition, the Empire Fashion Group basically does not participate in Xiangjiang's commercial affairs.
In other words, this group basically has no news to report in Xiangjiang.
But no matter what, the reputation of the Empire Fashion Group is there.
Lin Jiamin said: "I don't know, the other party didn't tell me!"
"Come in, please!" Xie Zhichao thought for a while, and let Lin Jiamin invite Guo Guandong in.
Guo Guandong is thirty-nine years old. At this age, he can become the general manager of the Xiangjiang Branch of the Imperial Fashion Group. His ability is naturally conceivable, but in fact, few people know that Guo Guandong is actually one of the first batch of Talents who come out of a talent pool.
"Mr. Guo, I won't talk about being polite. Now you have seen Xie Liyuan's situation, so Mr. Guo, I want to know what you are doing here at this time?"
After seeing Guo Guandong, Xie Zhichao didn’t exchange pleasantries, and just straight to the point preached.
Guo Guandong sat on the sofa and said calmly: "Since Xie Sheng is so direct, I won't say anything else. I'm here on behalf of our Imperial Fashion Group, and I want to ask Xie Sheng if he has sold Xie Liyuan Gold." Make plans!"
Xie Zhichao was a little dazed. He didn't expect that Guo Guandong would come to buy their Xie Liyuan Gold Shop. If it was two days ago, Xie Zhichao would have rejected Guo Guandong's purchase with a smile on his face.
But today is different. Xie Liyuan Gold Shop is a building that is about to collapse. If it can be sold at this time, it will be considered that Xie Liyuan Gold Shop has exerted its last remaining heat in his own hands.
"Guo always picks the time!" Xie Zhichao couldn't help but sighed, and then asked Guo Guandong: "I don't know what price your company is willing to offer?"
Guo Guandong reported a price to Xie Zhichao!
After hearing this, Xie Zhichao's face suddenly changed. This is not to buy Xie Liyuan Gold Shop, but to pick up money.
"Mr. Guo, I'm afraid you are joking. Even if our gold shop has encountered some problems now, isn't your price a bit too bullying?"
With a smile on his face, Guo Guandong said: "Xie Sheng, just like what you just said, now the whole of Xiangjiang knows the situation of Xie Liyuan Gold Shop. If there is no acquisition by our company, can Xie Liyuan Gold Shop survive?" This week, let’s talk about it, and besides, after taking over the Xie Liyuan Gold Shop, we have to deal with the depositors outside, which is also a big expense, isn’t it?”
Xie Zhichao fell into silence, taking advantage of the fire to rob, the Empire Fashion Group is robbing now, but Xie Zhichao has nothing to do about it, because the situation is just like this.
But if Xie Zhichao agrees to Guo Guandong's price, he can't accept it. The current price is too low. Even if Xie Liyuan Gold Shop closed down because of this incident, the current inventory of Xie Liyuan Gold Shop can still be bought for a sum. Not a small price.
Even if those debts are repaid, it may still be able to support Xie Liyuan Gold Shop to come back to life in the future!
Unless Guo Guandong can add more money, Xie Zhichao will definitely not sell it at this price!
"Mr. Guo, this price is unacceptable to us, if your company can build on this price."
Before Xie Zhichao finished speaking, Guo Guandong interrupted Xie Zhichao, saying: "This is the last price our company can offer, even the price of one Hong Kong dollar, and we will not increase it!"
Guo Guandong's attitude made Xie Zhichao very dissatisfied, and naturally there was no way to continue this negotiation!
So Guo Guandong was politely invited away by Xie Zhichao! .
"Xie Liyuan Gold Shop is over this time, has the financial relationship between us and them been sorted out?"
Zhuang Rongkun was sitting on the sofa in the chairman's office of Hang Lung Bank and asked Zhuang Qingquan.
Hang Lung Bank is the closest cooperative bank of Xie Liyuan Gold Shop. Now Xie Liyuan Gold Shop has problems. For Zhuang Rongkun and Zhuang Qingquan, the most important thing is not to let the situation of Xie Liyuan Gold Shop affect the operation of Hang Lung Bank.
Zhuang Qingquan nodded and said: "It's been sorted out. Although Xie Liyuan Gold Shop has some loans from our bank, the amount is acceptable. As long as the public opinion is well controlled and the public is not allowed to associate the matter of Xie Liyuan Gold Shop with our bank, the matter will not be too big. .”
Zhuang Rongkun breathed a sigh of relief, and said: "It is impossible to completely deny our relationship with Xie Liyuan Gold Shop. What we should do at this time is to immediately mobilize the cash of the whole bank, and we are determined not to let Hang Lung be here. Any difficulty in withdrawing cash occurs within a period of time."
Zhuang Qingquan nodded and said: "I understand, but there is still an important issue, that is, the gold coupons issued by Xie Liyuan Gold Shop are accounts opened in our Hang Lung, and those who cannot get money from Xie Liyuan Gold Shop will definitely come Our bank withdraws money, how should we deal with this matter?"
Zhuang Rongkun's relaxed expression just now wrinkled up again, which is why it is said that Hang Lung Bank is the cooperative bank of Xie Liyuan Gold Shop.
This incident really caused Zhuang Rongkun a headache. If they don't exchange cash, it is likely to arouse the public's suspicion of Hang Lung Bank, but Xie Liyuan Gold Shop has so many deposits in Hang Lung Bank, it must not be able to support it. They It is impossible for Hang Lung to advance money to Xie Liyuan Gold Shop by itself.
"I need to think about this matter carefully. You first prepare a statement explaining our relationship with Xie Liyuan Gold Shop, and then I will think about the specifics of this matter!"
Looking at Zhuang Rongkun who had a headache, Zhuang Qingquan had no choice but to agree first.
.
Actually, it is not only Xie Zhichao, Zhuang Rongkun and others who have headaches in Xiangjiang, but one person is also suffering from headaches.
This person is Carrian's chairman, Chen Songqing.
It has been said many times before that Chen Songqing's Carriand is actually snowballing, and it is in a particularly dangerous way. As long as the Hang Seng Index fluctuates, it is a very dangerous thing for Carrian.
Now that the Hong Kong Hang Seng Index has been falling, Carrian's situation is naturally very bad.
What frightened Chen Songqing even more was that the commercial building on the first subway station, which they got bidding for last year, was almost completed.
However, the current land price in Xiangjiang is falling again and again, which makes Carrian's original estimated profit also fall again and again. More importantly, there is no price in the market now. Whether it is the lease or sale of commercial buildings, it is very pessimistic .
In addition, according to the contract signed at the beginning, Carrian is about to start the construction of the second subway station at this time.
"The MTR Corporation has already issued a notice ordering us to pay the 1.82 billion Hong Kong dollars premium for this land within 28 days, otherwise we have the right to suspend our cooperation. The 400 million deposit from the company will be withdrawn!"
Qian Zhengnan was also very worried at this time. Although Qian Zhengnan didn't understand the situation of Carrian and Chen Songqing as well as he thought, but at this time Qian Zhengnan also understood that Carrian had reached a very important point. It's time for danger.
Chen Songqing sat there a little irritated. At this time, he felt that this was the most difficult time since he started his business in Xiangjiang.
"How was the company's financial performance this quarter?"
Chen Songqing asked Qian Zhengnan.
"According to the company's estimate, this quarter's profit will be 270 million Hong Kong dollars!" The figure Qian Zhengnan reported was the figure in Carrian's financial report.
Chen Songqing pondered for a moment and then said: "Find a familiar media to announce this figure, and then inform the shareholders that the group will pay an interim dividend of 1.2 cents per share!"
Qian Zhengnan was stunned. The company wanted to pay dividends when the company was short of cash?
Shouldn’t it be finding ways to borrow more cash?
"Brother Qing, can you contact the capital behind you now and ask them to provide us with some financial support at this time?"
Qian Zhengnan couldn't help but asked Chen Songqing.
Chen Songqing said noncommittally: "I will arrange this matter, you don't have to worry about it!"
Qian Zhengnan naturally didn't know what Chen Songqing was thinking, dividends? It is impossible!
What Chen Songqing has to do is to use this news to stimulate Carrian's stock price, because only when Carrian's stock price grows against the wind at such a moment, will the banks in Xiangjiang pay more attention to Carrian, and then Carrian can provide more loans.
After Qian Zhengnan left, Chen Songqing found Zhuang Yongcheng and ordered a more private matter.
"Immediately contact the familiar media, give them a sum of money, and tell them that the sales and leasing of Hongmian Building are in good condition. There are already overseas consortiums contacting Carrian, hoping to buy Hongmian Building at one time!"
Chen Songqing ordered Zhuang Yongcheng to speak.
If you want to increase Carrian's stock price, it is not enough to rely on a mid-term dividend statement. The most important thing is to let shareholders see that Carrian's business is going well.
And there is no more exciting news than the sales of Cotton Tree Building!
In fact, in another time and space, Chen Songqing played such a trick in order to increase the stock price of Carrian. At that time, he first bought the Golden Gate Building from the hands of Jardine, and then used the trick of turning his left hand into his right hand to increase the price of the Golden Gate Building. , so as to achieve his idea of raising Carrian's stock price.
In fact, Chen Songqing also succeeded at that time.
It's just that now because the Jinmen Building is in the hands of Chu Huan, there is no transaction with the Carrian Group at all, so Chen Songqing thought of the Hongmian Building at this time!
Zhuang Yongcheng executed Chen Songqing's order more directly, saying: "No problem!"
He has seen too many times when Chen Songqing turned decay into magic, so he doesn't have any doubts about Chen Songqing at this time. He believes that Chen Songqing will definitely lead Jianing through this difficult time!
After Zhuang Yongcheng left, Chen Songqing stared at the phone on his desk, and finally couldn't help but dialed the number of the Chinese Bank!
However, what made Chen Songqing's heart sink was that at this time, the office of Huaren Bank replied to Chen Songqing that their chairman Chu Huan was answering an important call at this time, and Chen Songqing needed to call back later!
Thank you everyone, the typo is corrected first and then corrected~
