1982 was a dark year for Xiangjiang's real estate industry and stock market. Seeing that it was about to pass, many people, especially stakeholders, were relieved, but they did not think that the shock would come again, and Xiangjiang's banking industry began to flow secretly.
All banks with local deposit business in Xiangjiang have quietly and actively responded to the most likely run, including Gaoxian Gaoyi bank and favorable bank.
The run is a very subtle phenomenon. Banks do not want to take the lead in publicizing it. Whether they are able to deal with the run or urge depositors to remain calm, because the slightest noticeable action of the bank will be interpreted uncontrollably and touch sensitive nerves.
Gao Xian doesn't worry about his own Gaoyi bank and favorable bank. After all, his strength is there. Although he can't compare with Huifeng for the time being, it is enough to compare with Standard Chartered. Moreover, during the forced acquisition of Xiangjiang land a few years ago, Gao Xian has dealt with the test of a crowding trend alone, so that in addition to his strength, his psychological quality and response mechanism in the face of crisis can be called perfect.
At this juncture, Gao Xian seriously considered how his bank should play a role other than ordinary commercial banks once the crisis of Xiangjiang banking industry broke out, so as to establish the leading position of Xiangjiang banking industry.
However, now everyone is in a tense mood. Gao's consortium can't show the excitement that I finally have the opportunity to express myself. That will attract disgust.
Therefore, Gao Xian specially instructed Chen Zuze, general manager of Yili bank, and ye Licheng, general manager of Gaoyi bank, to be nervous and serious with the group, especially about Yili bank's upcoming succession to the chairman of Xiangjiang Banking Association.
As for Gao Xian himself, he is even more low-key. He will never let people notice the relaxed mood that a dead Taoist friend does not die. Moreover, he does have a lot of affairs to deal with.
For example, from the second half of this year to the foreseeable next year, Xiangjiang's financial industry is in a special period. Gao Xian is basically entangled in the affairs here, but there are still a lot of business to deal with overseas, especially in the United States.
Therefore, around Christmas, three important people came from the United States to have a long talk with Gao Xian.
The first was Ronald Zegler, White House press secretary and assistant to the president during the Nixon administration.
After Nixon stepped down because of the Watergate incident, the economy was tense and he couldn't afford to support the staff team, and it was unnecessary. Loyal followers like Ronald Zegler were recommended by nikkson to work under Gao Xian.
Gao Xian's arrangement is to let Ronald Zegler be the president responsible for managing the oil business, and also assist Patricia Hurst in dealing with many tasks of the foundation.
After years of exploitation, the Eugene island oil field in the Gulf of Mexico has passed the high production period, and Ronald Zegler is not so busy. Therefore, Gao Xian decided to let Ronald Zegler replace himself and serve as the vice chairman of the board of directors of Gulf western industrial company. The infighting there has become more and more fierce. Ma Shiheng, an assistant, began to work hard and had to send a heavyweight role to take the seat.
After such a long time together, Ronald Zegler has really entered Gao's circle and won Gao Xian's trust. He has changed from a loyal follower of Nixon to a capable player of Sir Gao.
Ronald Zegler has learned about the complex situation in the Gulf western industrial company, and then the power struggle has reminded him of the memory of the eventful years of the White House.
"Sir Gao, you can rest assured that I will ensure that even if Charles bludorn steps down, the control of Gulf western industries is ours," Ronald Zegler said directly.
Gao Xian is certainly willing to listen. After all, his purpose is this. "This year, paramount took nearly 60% of the box office in Hollywood by virtue of selling movies such as et alien and Conan the barbarian, which is enough to cope with the burden of blood transfusion to the Gulf western industrial company."
"But this must not be the norm, and as an important related revenue, the video game industry has begun to turn from prosperity to decline. Paramount needs to keep an eye on the money bag."
"In addition, according to the statistics of the third quarter, the economic recession in the United States has reached the bottom and began to rebound. It is time for the business crisis of Gulf western industrial companies to begin to dawn."
Ronald Zegler nodded and understood the meaning of high string. Paramount, the chip, is good for use, but also to cherish.
Gao Xian didn't worry about Ronald Zegler's Machiavellian ways. After some exchanges, he handed over some documents to the other party and asked him to return to the United States to take office.
Then came Michael Blumenthal, former Minister of finance of the United States and now CEO of Howard Hughes. He wanted to put into practice his plan to acquire Bora, which occupies the second largest share of the mainframe computer market.
First of all, the workstation and server products developed by happy technology in charge of Zhou Wenyao in Silicon Valley and using a series of emerging computer technologies, including RISC processors, have achieved preliminary market success and are mature enough to win over the existing large-scale computer users of Bora company.
Secondly, after the heavy blow of this long economic recession, the IT expenditure of large enterprises had to be tightened, so that the mainframe computer products with already weak technology but still high prices began to be unpopular, which dragged Bora down its airs and faced the acquisition intention of Howard Hughes with a pragmatic attitude.
However, Gao Xian is more interested in a message from Michael Blumenthal.
"Although the White House supports the severe monetary tightening policy of the Federal Reserve System, and according to the statistics of the third quarter, the American economy has reached the bottom of recession and shows signs of recovery, the white house still can't sit still in the face of the long-term sluggish economy. It should take some actions from the fiscal policy to stimulate the strong rebound of the economy." Michael Blumenthal said: "recently, President Reagan and defense engineering enterprises, including Hughes Aircraft, have begun to interact closely. It seems that they are brewing some plans. I estimate that it may be similar to the economic stimulus plan of President Eisenhower's federal investment in interstate highway construction."
"I'm afraid it's the Star Wars plan." Gao Xian narrowed his eyes and guessed secretly.
No matter whether the Star Wars plan was a scam aimed at consuming national power of the Soviet Union or not, it did flutter for a while, and there were still many benefits to be reaped. Hughes Aircraft Company didn't need to miss it in vain.
Therefore, when Michael Blumenthal got Gao Xian's formal support for the acquisition of Bora and was ready to go back to the United States for implementation, Gao Xian told him: "the interaction between President Reagan and national defense engineering enterprises you said suddenly began to be close, which may really be a huge business opportunity. You must keep an eye on it so as not to miss the first opportunity."
After Michael Blumenthal left, another former US Treasury Secretary, especially William Miller, who has a bleak resume as the chairman of the Federal Reserve, also came to exchange information about the recent operation of goyimi in person, and was ready to attend the ceremony and reception for the favorable bank to become the chairman of the Hong Kong Banking Association.
It was at this time that the overseas trust bank triggered a big shock, and the crisis of Xiangjiang banking industry became more and more obvious.
William Miller, who had noticed that some bank outlets began to show signs of overcrowding, said: "the favorable bank took over the chairman of Xiangjiang Banking Association. It just caught up with this situation. It was a mess!"
Gao Xian said leisurely: "such a mess, no one should be jealous and unconvinced about the favorable bank taking over the chairman of Xiangjiang Banking Association."
In terms of his qualifications in Xiangjiang banking industry, Gao Xian is the shallowest in Xiangjiang. Even if Gaoyi finance was reluctantly counted at that stage, it is only a little more than ten years. However, nowadays, the strength and status of Gaoyi bank and favorable bank are constantly improving, and even to the extent of "giving orders" to old banks, there are no few positive obedience and negative violations encountered, such as Henglong bank Overseas trust bank is such an example.
Now, the crisis of Xiangjiang banking industry is becoming more and more obvious. Even if the chairman of Xiangjiang Banking Association doesn't like the pastry, the stingy people who are too busy to care about themselves must be sour in their hearts.
William Miller quickly figured out the mystery, "favorable bank has taken over a mess, but it can also work freely. Doing well is a great credit, and failing to do well is because the foundation of its predecessor has not been laid."
Gao Xian smiled, "that's right. I value the opportunities more than taking over a mess."
At this time, the telephone rang out in a hurry. Peng Lizhi, the financial secretary of the Hong Kong government, personally contacted and held an emergency meeting to discuss how to deal with the big shock of Xiangjiang banking industry caused by overseas trust banks.
After putting down the phone, Gao Xian touched his beard and said to himself, "it seems that Huifeng plans to stand aside again this time, forcing the Hong Kong government to come out again after taking over Hang Lung Bank."
William Miller asked curiously, "for a long time, Huifeng has played the role of central bank in Xiangjiang. Now Huifeng needs to stand up and turn the tide. How can Huifeng's negative attitude force the Hong Kong government to personally preside over the situation?"
"The benefits are enough. Huifeng is obsessed with the internationalization of business and doesn't want to continue to be bound with Xiangjiang because of the status of quasi Xiangjiang central bank." Gao Xian's eyes show sarcasm, "otherwise, Yili bank won't have the opportunity to take over the chairman of Xiangjiang Banking Association."
If William Miller realized, "could it be that Xiangjiang banking now has a window period?"
Gao Xian nodded with appreciation, "William, you're right! Indeed, Xiangjiang banking industry has a blank window now, but it is very hidden. If we seize this opportunity, favorable banks will not only be able to take turns as the chairman of Xiangjiang Banking Association, but we can also get a considerable leading position, and Huifeng, a vested interest, will only acquiesce."
