It has to be said that Gao Xian's move to confuse the public has achieved an amazing effect for Li Bancheng.
Now, the thoughts of investors in the stock market are attracted to Sir Gao. They don't associate with Li Bancheng, who is slightly inferior in both fame and strength.
During a secret meeting, Gao Xian cautioned: "if Huifeng bank knows your acquisition plan, it is very likely that Jardine will also know."
Li Bancheng looked dignified and nodded, "Huifeng bank can't get around after all, but I'll first raise funds from Chinese banks that have known each other, and I'll be confident that I can do it easily when the ground property development project global building of central station is sold in May."
Gao Xian regretted with half truth: "if Gaoyi finance had not been upgraded to Gaoyi bank and happy group had important acquisition plans other than jiulongcang, I could provide all financial support for Li Sheng."
Li Bancheng didn't dare to complain that Gao Xian didn't do his best. "Sir Gao has helped Li a lot. Gao Yi and are happy with the current situation. I understand very much."
……
Shortly after Li Bancheng left, ye Licheng, who had been in charge of the specific affairs of upgrading Gaoyi finance to Gaoyi bank, hurried over, "Boss, something's wrong. While reissuing the bank license, Zhengfu suddenly attached some conditions. One of them has been engaged in accepting public deposits and loans for at least ten years, blocking Gaoyi finance. We still have two years to go."
After hearing the report of this strange peak, Gao Xian immediately frowned tightly, "do you think this is specifically to suppress us?"
"It's not sure yet." Ye Licheng replied very cautiously, "because there are really many people applying for bank licenses from Zhengfu. Those additional conditions not only hinder us, but also block more Southeast Asian capital, such as Yumin bank in Malaya."
Seeing Gao Xian's silence, ye Licheng said tentatively, "the boss thinks that because of the jiulongcang affair, Yihe uses resources to stir up trouble and block us at the main house?"
"Jardine has the motivation and ability to do this." Gao Xiansi said: "after all, I didn't receive such a disturbance in advance from the financial secretary Xia Dingji."
Ye Licheng suggested, "the boss might as well ask Xia Dingji again to see if there is room for operation."
In fact, Gao Xian is also concerned that the application for Gaoyi bank license may be blocked. Besides, the time for the feast of privatization of British state-owned enterprises is getting closer and closer, and the investment banking system on Xiangjiang side must be improved as soon as possible.
After contacting Xia Dingji, the financial secretary of the Hong Kong government, the other party said frankly: "those additional conditions were determined to be added yesterday. As you know, the enthusiasm for bank license application exceeded the expectations of Zhengfu, which can avoid confusion and reduce the risk of another crisis in Xiangjiang banking industry."
Gao Xian asked bluntly, "what about Gaoyi finance? In all respects, it has the strength of banks, even better than many licensed banks in Xiangjiang, but it has only stuck its neck on the line that it has been engaged in public deposit and loan business for at least ten years?"
Xia Dingji thought for a moment. Finally, he didn't dare to say "Gaoyi finance will wait another two years". Instead, he suggested in a consultative tone: "I'm going to report to the governor of the constitution. Sir Gao might as well have a specific discussion together."
After seeing MacLehose and Xia Dingji, the financial secretary of the Hong Kong government, Gao Xian said very calmly: "I understand the original intention of the government to introduce additional regulations, but Gaoyi finance has developed well in recent years and has a strong demand to become a bank. It should not be stuck by the article that" it has been in the business of accepting public deposits and loans for at least ten years. "
Speaking of this, Gao Xian proudly pointed out that "with the current strength of Gaoyi finance, it can also enhance the stability of Xiangjiang financial system after it is incorporated into jinxiangjiang bank supervision system."
Mai Lihao, a Hong Kong governor who has passed the retirement age line of 60, has just been renewed in London for the second time this March, which is equivalent to his extended service. Now he is more "Buddha nature". In addition, he has a good personal relationship with Gao Xian, so he still sympathizes with Gao Xian when it comes to the important financial interests of Gao Yi.
"Sir Gao, don't worry. We are discussing whether we can find a satisfactory solution for Gaoyi finance." governor Mai Lihao comforted: "To be honest, sir Gao, the officials responsible for issuing bank licenses from institutions such as the banking supervision office suddenly put forward additional provisions yesterday. Because they were in line with the current surge in the number of bank license applications, they passed it quickly. It is inevitable that they were ill considered."
Gao Xian lowered his posture and said, "thank you for your consideration of my eagerness."
Governor MacLehose nodded slightly, turned his eyes to financial secretary Xia Dingji, asked for advice and said, "what do you think?"
Financial Secretary Xia Dingji said slowly, "at present, in the field of Xiangjiang merchant bank, sir Gao Yi, Huifeng bank's multi profit and Jardine's Yifu have the most prominent development performance, among which Gao Yi with excellent overseas business development results ranks first."
"Sir Gao's words are very pertinent. I also believe that letting Gaoyi finance linger outside the Xiangjiang banking system is a waste of resources. It should take the opportunity of re issuing the bank license to upgrade it to a bank so as to play a more active role in the Xiangjiang financial industry system."
"As for the conflict between this and the new additional provisions, in fact, there is no need to stick to it. It's like an entry permit. It makes sense whether a visa is on a passport or not."
The financial secretary's metaphor made governor MacLehose laugh knowingly.
"Moreover, there are precedents to follow." Xia Dingji, the financial secretary, quoted scriptures and added: "for example, after the Zhengfu government stopped issuing bank licenses, it was in 1972 that an exception was made to issue a license for Barclays International Bank of England."
"In short, we passed the new additional regulations for the stability of Xiangjiang's banking industry; allowing Gaoyi finance to be upgraded to a bank is also for the development of Xiangjiang's financial system, which can withstand scrutiny and not be afraid of external doubts."
Governor Mai Lihao pondered, "how about the operability of the specific implementation?"
Xia Dingji, the financial secretary, volunteered: "I am personally responsible for promoting it. There will be no problem."
Governor Mai Lihao smiled and looked at Gao Xian, "Sir Gao, are you satisfied with the statement of Zhengfu?"
Gao Xian quickly leaned over and said, "governor Xian's words are serious. I've never been satisfied. I just want to make a modest contribution to the economic development of Xiangjiang under governor Xian's governance with a cavity of blood. Now the government supports Gao Yi so much, so I don't dare to slack off."
Governor Mai Lihao laughed loudly, but muttered in his heart, "you smiling tiger, if you really annoy me, maybe you'll fill me in some trouble."
