Chapter 206: HSBC Vice Chairman Steps Up? Jardine Matheson Uses All Means
Chapter 206: HSBC Vice Chairman Steps Up? Jardine Matheson Uses All Means
HSBC.
"Ms. Tang, Mr. Chen, please come in. Our chairman has been waiting for you for a long time."
Chen Wen and Tang Judy both showed up.
The bank's lobby manager came over to greet you immediately, as if he was not at work but was waiting for you two to arrive.
"Chairman? Does that mean your chairman had expected us to come?"
Tang Judy caught the other person's words and asked back angrily.
There is no doubt that at this moment, she and Chen Wen are lambs that have fallen into a trap, and their every move is under the control of the other party.
Hearing Tang Judy's question, the bank's lobby manager just smiled slightly.
"Well, not everyone has the style we have, the chairman came to greet us personally."
Chen Wen comforted Tang Zhudi.
Obviously, even Chen Wen did not expect that the chairman of HSBC would discuss this matter in person.
But this is not HSBC's business at all, which shows how much effort Jardine Matheson has put into this matter.
Another few minutes passed.
The door to the chairman's office.
Chen Wen suddenly stopped, and seeing this, Tang Zhudi also stopped immediately: "Awen, what are you looking at?"
They both looked at the sign on the office door.
The words "Vice Chairman" were clearly written on it.
That’s right! The person who met with Chen Wen and Tang Judy this time was not the chairman of HSBC, but the vice chairman.
As someone who often has financial dealings with HSBC, Tang Judy was not too surprised.
For her, there is not much difference between being vice chairman or chairman.
Making such a big move at this time is all about standing on the side of the foreigners.
It doesn’t matter who comes forward, what matters is to resolve this issue as soon as possible.
However, Chen Wen didn’t think so.
"Mr. Chen, Ms. Tang, go forward."
The bank's lobby manager immediately welcomed Chen Wen and Tang Zhudi in.
Upon seeing the two of them coming, HSBC Vice Chairman Boyi looked condescending and did not even stand up from his office chair.
"Chairman Chen, I didn't expect it would be so difficult to meet you."
Bo started by making fun of me.
From his words, it can be heard that the loan from Shiqi Real Estate Company was not for any other purpose, but simply to meet Chen Wen.
For a moment, Tang Judy could no longer suppress the anger in her heart.
I couldn't wait to rush over, grab the other person by the collar, and give him a good lesson.
However, before he could come up with this idea, Chen Wen directly pulled Tang Zhudi to sit in the guest seat.
"How come? If you just move your fingers, we will be here right away."
"With the HSBC brand and your unscrupulous behavior, you have to come even if you don't want to."
Faced with Boyi's frivolous behavior, Chen Wen didn't give him any face at all.
There is no doubt that the other party is clearly targeting Hutchison Whampoa.
But now, the one who truly holds the initiative is Chen Wen.
Even without this proactive advantage, Chen Wen is definitely not the kind of person who would throw himself at everyone he meets.
"You are the first one who dares to speak to me like this in my office. I admire your courage."
"Of course, I also admire your vision. You are not an ordinary person, as you were able to buy Wharf Holdings' shares at the lowest point and acquire this share without realizing it."
Boyi was chatting with Chen Wen with full of energy.
Hearing this, Tang Judy's eyes revealed a hint of surprise.
There is no doubt that as soon as the Wharf incident happened, HSBC directly stopped lending to Shiqi Real Estate.
HSBC's attitude is very clear; they stand on the side of Jardine Matheson.
But this has just begun, and it starts with a barrage of flattery?
Could it be that the previous judgment was wrong?
Tang Judi hadn't figured this out yet, but Chen Wen's words brought her back to reality. Chen Wen directly took over the conversation: "But what?"
"Chairman Chen is indeed a wise man. You should have already calculated the market value of Wharf Holdings."
"The share price has reached 46 yuan per share, which is not much different from the valuation of Wharf Holdings. There will be no profit margin in the future."
"Why not sell Wharf Holdings' shares at this time? That way, everyone will have less trouble."
Boyi directly analyzed the current situation to Chen Wen and Tang Zhudi.
Just as Boyi said, Chen Wen bought the shares of Hutchison Whampoa at the lowest point and acquired some shares of Hutchison Whampoa at the price of 15 yuan per share, and he did make some money.
But now, the share price of Hutchison Whampoa has soared to 46 yuan per share.
According to the estimated market value of Hutchison Whampoa, the stock price has already reached its highest point, so naturally there is no room for greater profit.
"It doesn't matter if there is no profit margin. I have made 200 to 300 million anyway."
"Based on my current holdings, I think you, as the vice chairman of HSBC, should be able to clearly understand what I want."
After hearing what Chen Wen said to this point, the expression on Boyi's face was not so good.
I originally thought that Chen Wen, who had just established a real estate company, didn't have much ability, but I never expected that his thinking was so clear.
In fact, they know it much better than those Chinese real estate developers who often deal with HSBC.
Chen Wen ignored Boyi's expression and continued, "Of course, Jardine Matheson asked HSBC to help because they wanted to keep Wharf Holdings and their absolute say in the board of directors. Am I right?"
Hearing this, Boyi did not say anything, but just smiled and agreed with Chen Wen's statement.
"I really underestimated Chairman Chen's ability."
"Yes, you are able to control the shares of Wharf Holdings without anyone noticing. How could you be an ordinary person?"
"But I still want to ask, since Chairman Chen knows HSBC's purpose, why did he come here today?"
Boyi no longer had the arrogance he had at the beginning, and instead treated Chen Wen like a business rival.
When he spoke, it was a test of Chen Wen from beginning to end.
Did Chen Wen come here to apply for a loan from Shiqi Real Estate Company? Or did he have other plans for Wharf?
He wasn't sure either.
"With its current size, Shiqi Real Estate is considered a major client of HSBC. I think HSBC is reluctant to lose such a major client."
"Besides, hasn't the Vice Chairman already said everything?"
"Since this is just a gimmick you used to see me, I guess it's not a big deal."
Chen Wen’s meaning couldn’t be clearer.
From any perspective, it is not a rational choice for HSBC to lose Shiqi Real Estate.
Therefore, the loan problem of Shiqi Real Estate Company was not something he was worried about at all.
Then, Chen Wen came here for only one other purpose.
That’s right! It’s this Wharf…
