Chapter 800 Give up the right to print Hong Kong dollars! ?

Deep Water Bay, in the typhoon shelter of the Yacht Club.

A super-large luxury yacht cuts through the water and sails away from the dock lightly and elegantly.

This is the largest and most luxurious private luxury yacht in Hong Kong. Everyone knows that this super-large luxury yacht belongs to the richest man in Hong Kong, ‘Fok Ying-tung’!

This private luxury yacht, Fok Ying-tung spent hundreds of millions of dollars.

In the luxurious banquet room of the yacht, in addition to the owner Fok Ying-tung, there are other wealthy people who are well-known in Hong Kong.

The chairman of the board of directors of Cheung Kong Group and Hutchison Whampoa, ‘Li Ka-shing’, the chairman of the board of directors of Henderson Land Development and Sun Hung Kai Properties, ‘Li Zhaoji’, and the chairman of Hong Kong New World Development Group and Chow Tai Fook Jewellery Group, ‘Zheng Yutong’.

These older people sit in the front.

In the back are the more outstanding wealthy families who inherited the family property, as well as the new rich people in the past ten years.

Of course, there are some younger generations on the yacht, such as Fok Ying-tung’s children, Li Ka-shing’s children, etc.

However, they are not in the banquet room, but in other places.

Their main task today was to serve tea and water. In order to maintain absolute confidentiality, there were no waiters on the yacht except for the captain at the helm and several bodyguards of Huo Yingdong.

"Jiacheng, now that everyone is here, you tell everyone about the matter." Huo Yingdong said in a deep voice.

He is the undisputed leader of Hong Kong businessmen, with unparalleled status, prestige and influence.

And his current title also makes him popular in many places.

Since 1982, Huo Yingdong has been the leader of Hong Kong business community, and no one can compare with him.

Even other business tycoons cannot compare with him.

Whether in terms of wealth or influence in various industries, Huo Yingdong is unique.

Moreover, in promoting Hong Kong businessmen to invest in the mainland, Huo Yingdong is the leader and guide. When Hong Kong businessmen encounter some problems in the mainland, they often find Huo Yingdong here and ask him to help solve them.

Since 1982, Hong Kong has opened a new page. Foreign capital has been completely defeated, and Chinese businessmen have gained absolute advantages. Until now, foreign capital has not been able to stir up any waves in Hong Kong.

Now Hong Kong is not only the choice of local businessmen, but also the choice of many Chinese businessmen. Chinese tycoons in Southeast Asia, South America, Europe and the United States often choose Hong Kong as a springboard to enter the mainland.

And among them, almost everyone will choose to pay their respects to Huo Yingdong.

Li Jiacheng did not want to be the first bird to come out, because he was not sure that others would not be angry, so he thought of a way to bring Huo Yingdong and others into the game.

A large part of the people here at the scene own HSBC shares, but it is just a matter of more or less.

It is Huo Yingdong who is the most suitable person to test or communicate with Liu Tao.

Li Jiacheng said: "Not long ago, Mr. Liu invited HSBC boss Pu Weishi to dinner and directly issued an ultimatum to HSBC to acquire HSBC."

"Pu Weishi and others found me after the meeting." Li Jiacheng told the cause and effect of the matter.

Suddenly everyone present was in an uproar.

None of them thought that Liu Tao would actually attack HSBC.

You should know that Liu Tao has never started a war with HSBC in these years, and the two sides have maintained a polite relationship on the surface.

HSBC, for any of the companies present, is a giant.

If there is anyone among them who can take down HSBC, only the Huo family has the ability and size.

No one else can do it.

"Are they really willing to let us enter?" Zheng Yutong couldn't help but say.

HSBC, it has a large number of high-quality assets.

HSBC alone is a world-class bank.

In recent years, due to the changes in the Hong Kong banking industry, other small and medium-sized banks have failed to keep up with the changes of the times and declared bankruptcy, and the banks could not continue to operate.

It's not that no one among them invested in banks, but they all ended in failure.

Because the reputation and size can't compete with those big banks at all, they can't gain the trust of the people of Hong Kong, and if they don't have enough deposits to operate the bank, then in the end they will not only not make money, but lose money.

"Those British people are also forced to do nothing. If they let us in, they can still stay in Hong Kong. If they don't let us in, they will have to withdraw from Hong Kong." Li Jiacheng saw it very clearly. The current situation is like this. HSBC has only two choices.

Selling to Liu Tao will definitely not sell for a good price, because Liu Tao is in an absolutely strong position. If HSBC does not buy, competition in the banking industry will break out, and HSBC will definitely suffer a big loss and eventually end in disgrace.

And if they sell part of the shares to them and they enter the market, then they actually keep a part of it and can still get along in Hong Kong.

As for the 100% premium, no one feels that they have lost money.

"Jiacheng, do you think we should enter the market?" Huo Yingdong looked at Li Jiacheng.

The Huo family actually owns shares in Standard Chartered Bank, but very few.

Li Jiacheng said: "Mr. Huo, this opportunity is rare. It can be said that it is our only chance. Once we miss it, there will be no chance again."

"Of course, Mr. Liu also needs to nod in this regard." Li Jiacheng said.

A large part of their financing is through Liu Tao's several companies, including investment in the mainland.

No one wanted to offend Liu Tao.

Others also spoke up. They knew better than anyone how rare this opportunity was.

"Well, I'll call Mr. Liu. If he doesn't want to, forget it!" Huo Yingdong said in a deep voice.

Huo Yingdong had never thought of breaking up with Liu Tao.

The cooperation between them is closer than anyone imagined.

They are allies who have gone through the test of more than ten years.

Others nodded.

Huo Yingdong went out for a while, took a satellite phone, and called Liu Tao.

Fifteen minutes later, Huo Yingdong hung up the satellite phone.

When Huo Yingdong walked into the banquet hall, everyone looked at Huo Yingdong at the same time.

"Mr. Liu doesn't care whether we enter the market, but he has two conditions." Huo Yingdong said: "The first condition is that HSBC gives up the right to print money, and only Standard Chartered Bank will have the right to print Hong Kong dollars in the future. The second condition is that Chinese merchants own no less than 35% of the shares of HSBC Group!"

35%, that is almost equal to the shares of Chinese merchants and British people.

"Now, let's subscribe to the quota each, and Jiacheng, you will talk to HSBC later. If you can't reach an agreement, forget it." Huo Yingdong said and looked at Li Jiacheng.

Now the subscription quota refers to how much money everyone can put out.

1% of HSBC's shares, that would cost a lot of money.

Even among those sitting on the scene, not everyone can take 1%.

As for the negotiation, it will naturally be left to Li Jiacheng to negotiate.

As a person involved in this matter, Li Jiacheng will naturally not suffer any loss.

Li Jiacheng smiled, which meant that there was basically no problem with this matter.

As for the first condition, giving up the right to print Hong Kong dollars, this matter is naturally not a big deal.

He even guessed in his heart that Liu Tao wanted to acquire HSBC because he did not want the British to have the right to print Hong Kong dollars.

And then, the banquet hall became lively.

The subscription quota mentioned by Huo Yingdong is not that you can get as much quota as you pay, but that you have to balance it.
