Chapter 352 Conspiracy

"It is not a good thing that Xizhen Real Estate's stock has risen too quickly. It is a double-edged sword. The high stock price can double the funds invested by malicious acquirers, but it also makes us very passive when buying back stocks with Jardine. The higher the market price, Jardine will offer a price. The old wolf Kasek is not so easy to let this piece of blood eat from the mouth." Lin Xiaohe gently rubbed his eyebrows and sat on the sofa and said to his elder brother Lin Xiaoze.

Lin Xiaoze was standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window of his office, with a proud look on his face. He meticulously adjusted the position of his tie in the glass window, and said calmly: "My opinion is to cut the mess quickly. Whether it is HSBC, Standard Chartered, East Asia, Chinese, or Yong'an, raise funds as soon as possible to buy back the stocks. The longer the delay, the more variables it will be."

"Except Song Tianyao, other Chinese businessmen should not have much interest in Xizhen Real Estate. The Korean battlefield is full of smoke and Hong Kong's future is uncertain. Not only the British people want to go back to their hometown to avoid the limelight. In addition to a few people who expressed their attitude early, local Chinese businessmen are also worried that after Hong Kong was recovered by force, they will be confiscated after Hong Kong was recovered by force. After all, fighting the local tyrants and dividing the land was not casual. I heard that Song Tianyao had helped the Chu family to compete for the rights of drug agency before, and mostly relying on scarce drugs to get some small connections with the mainland. So they fought that Hong Kong was recovered by force after the Korean War. At that time, he, a patriotic businessman who was loyal to serving the country during the war..." Lin Xiaohe stood up from the sofa, walked to Lin Xiaoze's desk bookcase, and admired the several sailboat models placed inside through the spotless glass.

Lin Xiao is a civil engineering major. His wish is to become an engineer and have a different love for various craftsmanship. Other businessmen have some famous books or collections of precious antiques in their bookcases, whether real or fake. Lin Xiao collects various sailing models, and even designs simple ship models when he has time.

Lin Xiaohe pushed open the glass window and took out a model of a three-masted sailboat from it and held it in his hand: "I am worried about Luo Bao now. If he had contact with Song Tianyao in Macau, according to Luo Bao's vengeful personality, he would have taken out the money to see the farce in the Lin family, and he would have no hesitation."

"So? Are you ready to solve Song Tianyao?" Lin Xiao came over and took the sailing model from Lin Xiaohe, and Airuzhenbao carefully put it back into the bookcase: "Don't move around, it will be difficult to recover if you accidentally fall apart."

Lin Xiaohe breathed out and leaned on Lin Xiaoze's desk with ease: "Of course you can't do that anymore. The first time you did it was unexpected. Just like the elder brother, you said, "Slay the mess with a quick knife, and do it the second time, that's stupid. Now everyone is making moves with great action. What a pity, the last chance was so good, but..."

"What do you mean to say this to me?" Lin Xiaoze put the sailboat back and put it steady, turned around and looked at Lin Xiaohe. As the eldest son of the Lin family, he leaned on the desk lazily, and said with a pity, but there was no regret on his face. Instead, he looked like a casual and free middle-aged idle man, Lin Xiaohe with a smile on his lips, and Lin Xiaohe had the majesty and temperament of his elder brother.

Lin Xiaohe looked at his elder brother and smiled: "I asked someone to check why the fifth and sixth uncles turned around, why did something wrong with that matter? Why did Song Tianyao use the trick to fish the fifth uncle out? As a result, after searching, he found the second brother's head."

"Aqia?" Lin Xiaoze was stunned for a moment, and his eyes carefully examined Lin Xiaohe's facial expression. He was puzzled and then said sternly: "Aqia, you have to think clearly before saying something. Aqia cannot do such a thing. If he is dissatisfied with you and A Sen, he would have been in Guangzhou ten years ago..."

"Brother, what do you think of me? I won't doubt the second brother. Everyone sees how much the second brother has done for the family over the years, but..." Lin Xiaohe explained to himself with a bitter smile, rubbing his forehead with his palm, as if he was quite distressed: "It's just that I don't understand why my second brother wanted to meet Song Tianyao's people, and deliberately adds to his feet. Maybe until now, the second brother hasn't realized that it was because of this inconspicuous little thing he did that he killed his fifth and sixth uncles."

"Tell me, do you want me to talk to Aqia?" Lin Xiaoze raised his eyebrows slightly and asked Lin Xiaohe.

Lin Xiaohe nodded: "I suspect that my second brother already knew that this might have failed because of him, but he kept silent and felt guilty. He would easily crush himself when he pressed this kind of thing in his heart. Originally, because of the fifth and sixth uncles, my second brother had already said a lot to me. Now, I, the younger brother, would talk to me, is better for you than you, the eldest brother. Now someone is outside the Lin family, so you can't leave a grudge in your heart and ruin your feelings. The brothers are together through thick and thin, and unity is the foundation of the family."

"I'll go see Aqia." Lin Xiaoze patted Lin Xiaohe on the shoulder: "You did the right thing."

...

Song Tianyao looked at Shen Bi who could not hide his excitement in front of him and asked with a smile: "How is it, so happy, are you not going to pack your luggage and go to Sabah, Malaysia?"

"Of course I have to go, it's good to travel to Malaysia." Shen Bi smiled at Song Tianyao: "But I think the gift you gave me may not be available for the time being."

Song Tianyao was stunned for a moment: "What does it mean?"

"Now Morse has been hit by the board of directors' bombardment, and China is tough. If the stalemate continues, the data calculated by the board of directors is only the most basic expenses under the closure of the mainland branches. It will cost 2.5 million to 4 million Hong Kong dollars a year. This is the most basic number, that is, the longer the delay, the greater the loss. However, if you want to talk about China, there is no room for negotiation. If you want to resume business or discuss development, you must use the exchange rate given by China for mainland depositors to withdraw money. HSBC cannot afford it. What is the depreciation of the fiat currency during the civil war in China?

As we all know, any ordinary Chinese citizen may be able to pay out tens of millions of fiat currency certificates of deposit, and when he buys a house in a strong period of 20,000 fiat currency, one hundred billion fiat depositors can go to the HSBC branch to exchange, and half of HSBC will be compensated. This is a dead end. No matter what the subsequent development will be, it is a foregone conclusion that Morse resigns, but it is just a matter of time. After all, it is precisely because of his original decision that HSBC is now in such an awkward passiveness." Shen Bi was stirring the coffee in front of him with great enthusiasm and said to Song Tianyao.

After Bao John learned of the HSBC turmoil, Song Tianyao contacted Shen Bi who was preparing to report to the Malaysia branch recently. After receiving a call from Song Tianyao, Shen Bi immediately came out excitedly to meet Song Tianyao, but his previous frustration had disappeared.

Song Tianyao poured cold water on Chen Bi: "Speaking so much, what does it have to do with you? You are just a small account manager now. If you go on stage, you won't go to Malaysia the same way."

"It's different. Morse stepped down. The second and third successor he appointed was in line with his lineage. It should be difficult to be helped to power. On the contrary, it is the fourth successor before. Mr. Turner, deputy general manager of HSBC, responsible for Southeast Asia, is the most hopeful to take over as the chairman position left by Morse. Mr. Turner initially insisted on retaining the mainland branch in China and preparing to do business with the Communist Party. He advocated using the means of surround expansion to expand HSBC's influence in Asia first, and finally try to return to the Chinese market by surrounding the way." Chen Bi looked at Song Tianyao: "I was transferred to the Japanese branch, which was signed by Mr. Turner. The transfer of me back was also the document he signed. Only this time went to Malaysia was the order of Mr. Morse. So if Mr. Turner really became the new HSBC senior, I shouldn't go to Sabah to dry it into tanning charcoal."

"In other words, no matter which option HSBC considers, whether to exchange or refuse to exchange, HSBC is actually facing huge losses. Mr. Turner's appetite is not known..."

"Mr. Turner has always believed that interests are paramount. If Mr. Turner becomes the new HSBC senior, I would like to say that the Lin family's real estate and property are in the hands of HSBC, the opportunities you get will be much higher than those during Mr. Morse's reign." Chen Bi lowered his voice. He knew that Song Tianyao saw him, but he wanted to know the current situation of HSBC.

HSBC is now facing the fact that it will either completely discard branches, properties, real estate and assets temporarily frozen by China in more than a dozen cities in mainland China, or it will obediently exchange certificates of deposit from previous years in accordance with China's requirements, and completely bleed. Whether it is a hero cutting off his arm or sacrificing himself to feed the tiger, these two will cause HSBC to suffer huge losses. In order to stop the bleeding, HSBC will inevitably sell many of the real estate, properties, etc. that have mortgaged HSBC to cash in, recover the losses.

So Chen Bi told Song Tianyao that if Turner took office, Song Tianyao's chances would be greater than that now.

"Do you know there is an idiom in China, which is called "Strike a skin with a tiger?" Song Tianyao said to Chen Bi: "I guess even if HSBC is willing to sell me the mortgaged real estate to me, it will inevitably take full advantage from me, such as investing in my business, and the bank's usual methods."

"Song, you can't expect bank sentiment. As I said, banks are pure financial institutions, and profit is the only purpose. If the bank helps you get what you want, of course you must pay some at that time. Banks are not charities." Chen Bi immediately explained when Song Tianyao talked about the common methods used by HSBC in Hong Kong shopping malls before.

Song Tianyao picked up the coffee and took a sip: "I know, and I don't think HSBC is wrong to do this. I like this purely equivalent fair transaction."

"But now Xizhen Real Estate does not seem to have any plans to formally contact HSBC. No news has come out that the other party used property or real estate to borrow money from HSBC." Chen Bi also picked up the coffee and tasted it, and said to Song Tianyao.

Song Tianyao turned his face and looked out the window. Yan Xiong was hurriedly getting off the car outside, looking like he was about to walk towards the cafe of Du Lis Hotel:
