Li Chaoren said with a smile: "Shen Daban's words are very true. At present, I still hold 6% of the shares of Hutchison Whampoa; I don't know if I can use it as a mortgage."
Hearing the shares of Hutchison Whampoa, Shen Bi immediately understood what Li Chaoren meant. Hutchison Whampoa announced not long ago that no dividends will be distributed in the next three years. The stock price has been very stable, after all, there are not many outstanding shares in the market. The shareholding ratio of Heiyun employees is so high that it is difficult for others to buy shares.
It was not until the Japanese media reported on Bao Zixuan's professionalism that Hutchison Whampoa's share price ushered in a new round of sharp rises. Moreover, it seems that Hong Kong investors are very optimistic about Hutchison Whampoa, and the stock price will still increase to a certain extent in a short period of time.
At this time, Li Chaoren took the shares of Hutchison Whampoa as a pledge to show his goodwill to HSBC. The last time he sold his shares to Shadantong, Bao Zixuan must have an opinion on him. Then HSBC is his reliance. In fact, the business in Hong Kong is not only in Hong Kong, but the whole world. As long as you want to expand your business, it is not realistic at all without the support of the bank. Especially for real estate companies, it can be said that there is no existence in the whole world that does not rely on banks.
The largest banks in Hong Kong are HSBC and Heiyun, and other banks have limited economic strength. Because of the previous incident, Li Chaoren had already offended Heiyun to death. It is impossible for Bao Zixuan to lend him a large-scale loan, and HSBC is his only choice.
There are many companies in Li Chaoren's hands that can be mortgaged, why did he choose Hutchison Whampoa? I just want to express my attitude and use this to tell myself. He is a businessman, as long as the profit is enough, he doesn't care about others.
In fact, Shen Bi never thought that Li Chaoren would be short of money. In his opinion, there was a run on Heiyun Bank some time ago. The biggest beneficiary of Xiangjiang is Li Chaoren, and his income is really where it is.
If he knew that Li Chaoren wanted to use HSBC's loan to invest in the Japanese real estate market, he probably didn't know how he would feel.
Shen Bi said without hesitation: "Hutchison Whampoa is a century-old enterprise, and its stock price has risen rapidly recently. As long as Li Sheng is willing, HSBC will of course have no problem. I don't know how many shares Li Sheng wants to mortgage and how much loan."
He knew that Shen Bi would definitely agree, and if he sat in his seat, he would agree without hesitation. Everyone knows that Hutchison Whampoa has become a company of Bao Zixuan. Except for Bao Zixuan and Heiyun employees, there are very few outstanding shares.
Shares pledged to HSBC, although not owned by HSBC. However, it can still play a certain restrictive role at a critical moment, which is equivalent to Li Chaoren handing over the voting rights of Hutchison Whampoa to HSBC. Although people will not interfere with normal business operations, they should say hello to Shen Bi before making decisions and voting.
Li Chaoren: "I currently hold 6% of the shares of Hutchison Whampoa, and I have a loan of 2 billion Hong Kong dollars. What do you think?"
This valuation is very reasonable, which is equivalent to a 30% discount on the stock price, which is in line with the bank's operating procedures.
Shen Bi: "Of course there is no problem. If Li Sheng feels not enough, HSBC can lend you more. Who made us friends, and you are here to take care of HSBC's business."
Li Chaoren doesn't dare to play too big, and he can spend 2 billion Hong Kong dollars, which is enough for him to buy a lot of properties in Japan. Investment should not be excessive, otherwise in the event of a natural or man-made disaster, there will be no way back.
In this way, Li Chaoren used 6% of Hutchison Whampoa to borrow 2 billion Hong Kong dollars from HSBC. It's like another betrayal, but that's inaccurate. After all, he has no affiliation with Bao Zixuan, and Li Chaoren is not the subordinate of Bao's richest man, so he doesn't have to worry about anyone's feelings when making decisions.
In fact, he was prompted to do so mainly because he saw the report of the Nihon Keizai Shimbun. I don't know how the richest man Bao will feel when he knows, and it is estimated that he is helpless.
You can also see the report of the Nihon Keizai Shimbun in Huaxia Kyoto, and it is not an empty talk to be in line with international standards. Since the last time Mr. Bao came to Huaxia Capital, he has not left.
After seeing the report, I was very pleased, and said to my grandson-in-law Wu Guangzheng: "Azheng, have you read the Japanese media report on Bao Zixuan!"
Although I knew that the old man was more concerned about Bao Zixuan's movements, he didn't expect that even Japanese media reports were paying attention. It seems that the old man still doesn't understand many of his ideas, maybe he doesn't understand enough.
Wu Guangzheng: "I have read it, but I didn't expect Bao Zixuan to meet so many business tycoons in a few days after arriving in Japan. It seems that the strength of Heiyun Group and Bao Zixuan needs to be re-evaluated. The investment in Japan alone exceeds 20 billion US dollars. Not a single bit of wind escaped."
At this time, both grandfather and grandson were thinking that Bao Zixuan's wealth might be much more than he imagined. It's just that this kid is usually relatively low-key, and his wealth has grown too fast, and he may not even feel it.
Mr. Bao: "Fortune is only one aspect. You and Bao Zixuan have been on a business trip together. Can't you see anything in combination with the Japanese reports!"
When the old man said this, Wu Guangzheng felt it. Professionalism, Bao Zixuan's professional attitude is far less than his.
