Rebirth of Hong Kong 1981

Many British businessmen, during this period, mostly chose to return to their homeland and become a rich man honestly.

Over the past few decades, the proportion of British enterprises in the member states of the Commonwealth has dropped to the point where it is difficult to affect the internal economy of each member state. However, some of the remaining enterprises, and most of the industries controlled by these enterprises are very promising industries.

Simply put, it is to have huge profits.

It is difficult to explain the British companies that are able to insist on refusing to return to the mainland without the protection of the backer, except for the huge profits.

The prosperity of the world is for profit

The world is all for profit

Businessmen, as long as it is profitable, they dare to do anything, dare to face risks, and dare to lose their lives.

As Britain's status in the international community continued to decline, and the local power of the Commonwealth of Nations member states gradually rose, those profitable industries naturally attracted the attention of big guys.

It is difficult to see British companies in any industry among the Fortune [-] companies in the future.

It is not difficult to see how much market British companies have lost during this period.

Channel abandonment is easy, but construction is difficult.

Any industry has a fixed share. Once one party gives up, the other party jumps out and eats your share, so it will not be so easy for you to want to eat.

Therefore, what Yang Chen thinks is that, taking advantage of the privatization in the UK, many British capitals want to withdraw to get a share of the pie, and make money on their own three-acre land.

This is undoubtedly an opportunity.

Most multinational companies in the 21st century have one thing in common, that is, the growth stage, most of which are concentrated in the 90s and [-]s.

At the end of the 20th century, the financial industry was unprecedentedly developed. Take the United States as an example. In the [-] years after the end of the Cold War, American companies started a crazy foreign expansion strategy with the funds raised from the stock exchange.

Everyone knows that the premise of market development is the need to have channels. Without channels, no matter how good the product is, there is no way to sell it.

Even in the 21st century, when the Internet is popular, channels are also a very important resource, especially in countries other than inland countries. When online shopping is not very popular in other countries, channels are still the most important strategic resources for all multinational companies.

Now he has no shortage of money, as long as he can inherit part of their channels in various Commonwealth member states from the British capital, it will play a vital role in his future industrial development.

This time he made large-scale investment in the UK for only two purposes. In addition to acquiring some high-tech companies and enterprises with higher profits, the other is to acquire companies with deep roots in the member states of the Commonwealth of Nations.

The rise of Li Chaoren in later generations is inseparable from the support of HSBC. As a British foreign bank, HSBC is most deeply involved in companies with British backgrounds.

When a British company can no longer survive in a certain place, HSBC will help take the lead and recommend it to those who need it.

Through this way of making money at both ends, HSBC will have high profits far exceeding its peers every year.

Li Chaoren's rise is largely due to the fact that he has absorbed many British-funded enterprises in various regions through the relationship of HSBC Bank. It is precisely because of the channel resources left by British capital that he can In the past few years, a business empire spanning many countries has been established.

With Li Chaoren's successful case in front, Yang Chen has no reason to let it go, he will follow Li Chaoren's way this time, so that the other party will have nowhere to go in the future.

He has already sat on the richest man in China, so unless he is willing to take the initiative to step down, no one will try to pull him off his seat.

I remember that Li Chaoren in later generations has soared to the sky just because he sat on the position of the richest man in the Chinese.

The position of the richest man in the Chinese is like a weakened version of an opener. With this title, no matter where he goes, others will give him some face.

Although this kind of intangible blessing is not a real benefit, the potential benefits are unimaginable.

To give a simple example, in the same business cooperation, one side is an ordinary company, and the other side is a company owned by the richest Chinese man. You say that the other side will cooperate with that side.

No need to guess, even if a normal person suffers a small loss, he will definitely strive to cooperate with a big name.

This is human nature, and no one can change it.

Chapter 755 Returning to Hong Kong

Amidst the hustle and bustle, Yang Chen quietly left London.

Next, with Yuan Tianfan's continuous big moves, he is bound to become the focus of attention of the British media.

Now the time for the Sino-British negotiations is very close. In the near future, to be precise, Mrs. Thatcher is already preparing for her visit to China.

At this time, if he continues to stay in London, the outside media may label him as an Anglophile.

No, it's because some people have already suspected his inclination.

Needless to say, the British media, the Xiangjiang side is already full of quarrels, even Huo Daheng personally called to inquire about this matter, if he hadn't repeatedly stated his attitude and position, the inland side would have to suspend the communication All his business cooperation.

After all, this time point is too sensitive, and he himself has received too much attention from the media and the public. It is impossible for the inland side to remain indifferent to his tendency.

A huge investment of tens of billions of dollars, this is the 80s, such a large amount, not to mention the UK, even other countries in Europe and the United States have reported this matter as headline news.

With his explanation, coupled with the fact that he has become the richest man in China and Asia, and his influence has greatly increased in all aspects, the high-level inland officials suppressed all discordant voices.

However, the high-level officials in the mainland also sent a message to him, and gave the corresponding bottom line, that is, he himself and his Asian TV station should not have any reports that are inclined to the UK.

This is the lowest bottom line, no matter who the richest man is, as long as he touches this line, then the inland will not be able to talk anymore.

Mrs Thatcher's visit to China, and his grievances with the Jardine Group, should also be understood.

He has been waiting for this day for a long time.

After returning to Xiangjiang to rest for two days, Yang Chen went to Hang Seng Bank to clock in and go to work. He held a brief meeting with a group of Hang Seng's senior management to understand the current situation of Hang Seng.

The reorganization and listing of Hang Seng Bank was a plan that had been set long ago. Although he really wanted to turn Hang Seng into a wholly-owned private bank, the interests involved were so great that he had to give up this idea.

In particular, the Governor's Office and securities firms hope that Hang Seng will be re-listed as soon as possible to boost the decadence of Hong Kong's stock market. If Hang Seng becomes a private bank, then the Hang Seng Index will become a complete joke.

However, regarding the timing of Hang Seng Bank's listing, Yang Chen has his own ideas. Mrs. Thatcher in the UK is about to visit China, and the Xiangjiang stock market will experience a big drop in the future.

At this time, it is definitely not the time for Hang Seng Bank to go public.

Obviously, the senior management of Hang Seng Bank is also aware of this point, so they just mentioned it briefly and did not continue the discussion.

After the meeting

"Manager Li, Manager Zheng, you two come to my office later."

After finishing speaking, Yang Chen left the conference room.

After Yang Chen left, Zheng Haiquan said: "President Li, you go to the chairman first, I'll get something."

"Okay, let's go." Li Guowei nodded. As the general manager of Hang Seng Bank, he naturally saw Zheng Haiquan's actions clearly.

Although he couldn't figure out exactly what Zheng Haiquan wanted to do, but since Yang Chen personally dug him from HSBC, he could only pretend that he didn't see him.

Although Yang Chen has never touched any senior executives of Hang Seng Bank, Li Guowei does not think that Boss Yang really dare not touch him.

Therefore, during this period of time, Li Guowei has never slacked off in his work, for fear that if something goes wrong, he will be caught in the braid, and his position as the general manager will be lost.
