Chapter 493 Strong reactions from major banks in Hong Kong!

Queen's Road Central, Hong Kong.

Huifeng Bank Building.

Office of the Chairman.

Shen Bi was looking through the window at the Empire State Building under construction in the distance.

The Empire State Building was built on the original site of the Murray Building site. After the Murray Building was acquired by the Empire Group through Wharf at a high price, it originally hired Mr. Pei Yuming, a famous Chinese architectural design master, to design it.

It shocked Hong Kong and the world at that time.

The Empire State Building is 699 meters high. If lightning rods are added in the future, it should be more than meters high. Not only is it higher than the top of Victoria Peak, it is also the tallest building in Central District of Hong Kong Island.

Since its construction began in 1978, in Shen Bi's view, the Empire State Building has grown almost as fast as the naked eye.

It may not be as fast as Pengcheng. One floor takes three days, and two floors take five days. In fact, the speed is not slow, especially after the foundation is built, it is much faster to build.

From the second half of 1978 to 1980, less than two years have passed. At this time, Shen Bi felt that the Empire State Building had grown up, giving him a sense of depression.

This morning, while playing golf, Sir Yang had told him in advance that the real estate company under the Empire Group had canceled the shared area. When he came back, the more he thought about it, the more complicated it became.

In his opinion, there is probably only someone like Sir Yang in the whole of Xiangjiang who can do such a bold thing.

Li Jiacheng and Bao Yugang, whom he had always been optimistic about before, simply did not dare and could not do this.

Cancel the common area.

Of course, the first to benefit are the home buyers in Xiangjiang, followed by the major banks in Xiangjiang.

Sir Yang had told him in advance, but Sir Yang had not announced the news yet, so naturally he could not tell him in advance.

Shen Bi returned to his seat and sat down, took a sip of coffee and looked at the Patek Philippe he was wearing.

There was a sudden knock on the door.

His female secretary came in and said: "Chairman, just now the Jardine Group of the Empire Group suddenly announced that all real estate companies under the Empire Group will cancel the shared area."

Shen Bi looked at the time and saw that it was just past 19:00 in the evening.

"Inform the executives of each department to hold a meeting immediately."

"Yes, Chairman."

In the afternoon, Shen Bi told them in advance that there would be something important to discuss with them at the Huifeng Bank Building tonight. No one knew what it was.

When Shen Yi came to the Huifeng Bank conference room.

HSBC Director and Vice Chairman John Bao, Director Mao Shili, and hundreds of other senior executives of Huifeng Bank were all present.

The last time Shen Bi sold Hutchison Whampoa to Mr. Yang was during the Spring Festival in 1978. At that time, Shen Bi did not hold so many executive meetings.

This time, Shen Bi actually held so many executive meetings in the name of chairman to let the executives of Huifeng Bank understand that there must be something very important today.

In early 1978, the Governor-General's Office of Hong Kong actively planned to develop Hong Kong into an international financial center.

In March 1978, the Governor-General of Hong Kong announced the relaxation of restrictions on the suspension of banking licenses that had been implemented since the 3 banking crisis.

In the next nine months, 27 licenses were issued.

This also introduced a large number of banks from country M, and Bank of Toyo entered Hong Kong.

This also means that it turns out that Huifeng Bank, Zhada Bank, and Hengxuan Bank are the main Chinese-owned banks that monopolize the banking industry in Xiangjiang.

After March 1978, a large number of bank licenses were issued, and a large number of M banks and Japanese bank capital entered Hong Kong. Hong Kong's financial industry developed rapidly in a short period of time. In the early 3s, Hong Kong was already a global leader. The third largest financial city has laid the foundation for the development of Hong Kong's financial industry.

With more banks in Hong Kong, competition will naturally become stronger.

It can never be the same again.

Shen Yi knew very well that the current Huifeng Bank not only had to compete with the original Zhada Bank and Chinese-owned banks in Xiangjiang, but also with the Bank of China and Oriental Bank.

This time the Empire Group announced that all its real estate businesses will cancel shared areas.

In Shen Bi's view, it will definitely be beneficial to the development of Xiangjiang real estate.

Home buyers in Xiangjiang basically need loans, which means that this will be a very huge business.

Regarding all loan businesses of banks, housing loans are the best customers. They need to compete with Toyo Bank and Bank of China for those high-quality customers.

"Just now, Empire Group announced that all its real estate businesses will cancel the shared area. Real estate stocks and bank stocks in Xiangjiang will skyrocket tomorrow. In addition, the number of home buyers in Xiangjiang will increase significantly, which means that high-quality customers for home purchase loans will also There will be more. If it were in the past, most of these high-quality customers were eaten by our Huifeng Bank and Hengxuan Bank. However, now that we have joined the banks of Toyo and Country M, our competitiveness is not so strong. ."

All of the executives here are smart people.

When they heard Shen Bi say that the Imperial Group had canceled the shared areas of all its real estate properties, they knew that this matter would indeed have a great impact.

Since 1976, real estate in Xiangjiang has been rising and is very prosperous. Especially since the second half of last year, housing prices and land prices in Xiangjiang have soared very fast.

After entering 1980, housing prices in Xiangjiang soared even faster.

In terms of real estate, just like the stock market, there are many investors chasing high prices. They are afraid of falling stock prices and house prices. If real estate keeps rising, they can buy with confidence.

Those real estate investors don’t just buy one unit, they even buy several or dozens of units.

For investors in Xiangjiang, if they bought it a few years ago and sold it now, it should have doubled several times.

"You must know that if we compete with Dongyang Bank and Bank of China for high-quality customers this time, we can defeat them and let us get more high-quality customers."

Shen Bi looked at the executives present and said.

These are the elites of Xiangjiang's elite, all top students, whether white or Chinese, they are the most powerful people.

If it weren't for the emergence of the Imperial Group, it had gathered many Chinese elites.

At this time, Huifeng Bank Group will have more Chinese elites in it.

End of the meeting.

Huifeng Bank is brightly lit tonight.

I'm afraid many people will have to work overtime tonight.

Others leave.

Shen Yi and John Bao went upstairs.

Upstairs is Shen Bi's large flat-floor mansion in Huifeng Bank. In many cases, he rarely lives here. Now, during this period, he probably has to live here and work overtime.

"Mr. Shen, why did Sir Yang suddenly cancel the pool area?" John Bao asked in surprise.

John Bao now really admires Shen Bi's vision for being able to choose Mr. Zhongyang instead of Li Jiacheng or Bao Yugang.

"In the morning, when Sir Yang asked me to play golf, he actually told me and the Governor-General Mr. Malihose."

Sir Yang said it in advance?

John Bao thought about it and thought it was normal.

Now the relationship between Sir Yang and Shen Bi is not simple.

In addition, the cooperation between Imperial Group and Huifeng Bank has been very in-depth.
