Chapter 151 The bargain hunting plan
After the market closed in the afternoon, Chen Yi was not in a hurry to return to the company, but came to the general manager's office of HSBC Bank, planning to discuss with Shen Bi the next step of cooperation.
As oil prices continue to rise, his net worth will at least double by the end of the year. At that time, when he withdraws from the stock market, he will have a lot of liquidity in his hands.
It would be a pity if so much money is simply placed in the bank to generate interest. Next, he plans to make a large-scale bottom-hunting in the Xiangjiang market, laying the foundation for his future career.
However, it is obviously impossible to rely on him alone for this kind of thing. He doesn't have enough manpower, and he doesn't know how to negotiate with others, so he must find a strong and professional company to cooperate.
As for the partner of this cooperation, it goes without saying that HSBC is the preferred partner.
Of course, HSBC is not the only one, and other banking institutions have no problem, but in that way, the inflow and outflow of large sums of money will inevitably attract the attention of others.
Come into the village quietly, don't shoot guns, Chen Yi plans to keep this stealth-buying plan unnoticed before it is completed.
So, in Chen Yi's view, although there are many partners who can cooperate, it is naturally the best to cooperate with HSBC.
In addition to this, another consideration is the current Xiangjiang market.
In the early 1970s, the main economic market of Xiangjiang was still dominated and controlled by British-funded foreign firms, which controlled most of the high-quality industries in Xiangjiang, while the Chinese-funded forces could only gnaw some meatless bones.
Chen Yi likes to eat meat, and he doesn't like to gnaw on those hard bones. However, if he wants to acquire those high-quality properties in the hands of British-funded foreign firms, his current qualifications alone are not enough. A person is a big household butcher.
Meat, you can eat it.
But how to speak, this is a technical job.
If he can reach a further cooperation with HSBC, then he can use HSBC's channels, personal connections, etc. to complete the bottom-hunting plan he envisioned.
As soon as the elevator door opened, Chen Yi saw Shen Bi standing at the elevator entrance, looking to welcome him. Obviously, when he first came up, someone had already notified Shen Bi in advance.
After these few days of getting along well, after Shen Bi met Chen Yi, he was familiar with him, and said in a slightly blaming tone, "Chen Sheng, why don't you notify me when you come up, so I can go down to pick you up." .”
Chen Yi walked out of the elevator and said with a smile, "Don't bother Mr. Shen, I'm just bored. I came up out of curiosity to have a look. Didn't you disturb Mr. Shen's work?"
When Shen Bi heard this, he couldn't help muttering in his heart: 'You're curious, you've been here several times, you haven't seen any places, and you still say you're curious. '
I wanted to think about it, but Shen Bi didn't say that, but said with a smile on his face: "Sheng Chen is wrong, as the general manager of HSBC, receiving Chen Sheng is also my most important job. "
Shen Bi's words were not false at all. With Chen Yi's profits in the stock market, HSBC would be able to get a large commission once the transaction ends at the end of the year.
Since Chen Yi and Shen Bi have a good relationship, the chairman of HSBC Bank asked Shen Bi to be in charge of handling all matters related to the cooperation between HSBC Bank and Chen Yi. Therefore, receiving Chen Yi, a big client, is indeed Shen Bi's most important job at present. none of them.
Shen Bi understands Chen Yi's style, the other party will not come to him for no reason, there must be something, so he didn't really show Chen Yi around, but said directly: "Chen Sheng, let's go to the office to talk .”
Chen Yi smiled knowingly, nodded and said, "Okay, President Shen will lead the way."
The oil price in the island country has skyrocketed in the past few days. Chen Yi took the initiative to come to him at this time, definitely not to stop. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the matter in the Middle East is not over so quickly.
As long as you are not stupid, you will not sell at this time.
After thinking for a long time, Shen Bi couldn't figure out Chen Yilai's purpose.
Fortunately, Chen Yi is not a person who likes to go around. After drinking two cups of tea in Shen Bi's office and chatting for a while, he explained the purpose of his trip.
After understanding Chen Yi's purpose, Shen Bi was not surprised. The only thing that surprised him was that Chen Yi would cooperate with HSBC.
Although HSBC is strong and is a good partner, in the minds of most Chinese, the British are far less reliable than their own.
This is also the reason why HSBC did not replace the top executives of Hang Seng Bank after saving Hang Seng Bank. This place in Xiangjiang pays attention to personal connections everywhere, and the sophistication of people is even more deeply rooted in their bones.
When the Chinese do business with foreigners, they often keep one hand, or even a few hands, for fear of being sold out, and there is no way to reason.
However, the times have changed. HSBC and other foreign firms have long since quit the business of foreign firms. This is why Chinese capital has gradually gained a certain voice in Xiangjiang.
"I don't know when Chen Sheng needs it?"
As one of the most powerful banks in Xiangjiang, HSBC has backed up the details of all companies in Xiangjiang. What Chen Yi wants is nothing but a matter of Shen Bi's words.
Understanding the confidence of HSBC, Chen Yi smiled and said: "Of course, the sooner the better, after all, I also need to spend time to understand."
Shen Bi nodded, and said, "In three days, I will ask someone to sort out all the things Chen Sheng needs, and then conduct a verification to get a clear understanding of the detailed status quo of all companies."
This year, the Xiangjiang market first experienced an unprecedented stock market crash, and then encountered the oil crisis that turmoiled the global market. Under the two devastating blows, the market value of both Chinese-funded enterprises and British-funded enterprises is far lower than that of the previous stock market When it's hot.
The market value fell by half, which is God's blessing.
The market value fell by 90%, which is within the normal range.
Many listed companies, under these two shocks, the market value fell by 90% everywhere, and countless bankrupts. The stock market was too frenzied before, which caused the stock prices of most listed companies to be pushed very high.
As the saying goes, the higher you stand, the harder you fall.
Think about Hutchison Whampoa, one of the four major foreign banks. Originally, the stock price was tens of yuan a share. In the end, HSBC injected capital at a price of one yuan more, and became a major shareholder of one of the four major foreign banks.
The stock price has shrunk dozens of times, which shows that it is average.
Chen Yi wants to buy the bottom line, so he needs someone to find out the details of these companies.
Of course, in this regard, Chen Yi will definitely not just rely on HSBC to speak out, and will find other people to investigate in private.
However, Chen Yi believes that as long as Shen Bi is not stupid, he should not do such stupid things that affect further cooperation between the two parties.
