The phone number was answered as soon as it was answered.
"Yi Xin, it's me~" Xia Tian said.
"Brother Tian, is it really you? You finally called." Chen Yixin was so excited that he almost cried when he heard it was Xia Tian's voice.
"What's the situation in Hong Kong now?" Xia Tian realized that something was wrong when he heard him say this, and hurriedly asked, "Tell me in detail~"
"Okay, Hong Kong's "Xinbao" published an article yesterday..." Chen Yixin began to narrate, telling Xia Tian about rumors flying everywhere, Bank of East Asia, the company's stock price plummeted, and bank debt rushing.
Xia Tian frowned after hearing this, and the situation was even worse than he had expected.
He was originally worried that after the article published by Xinbao, someone would take the opportunity to make trouble. But now it seems that they have clearly planned it a long time ago, and even the news published by Xinbao is probably arranged by them.
If this is the case, the situation will be even more serious. Because it is much more difficult to deal with a group of opponents who have long been rebellious than to deal with a group of opponents who have rushed to cause trouble.
"Brother Tian, it's really hard to have a day today. Fortunately, you show up now." Chen Yixin smiled again, "You can definitely get rid of danger and settle these troubles, right?"
"..." Xia Tian pondered for a while, then asked, "You just said that HSBC, Standard Chartered Bank, Hang Seng Bank, Citibank, etc. are unwilling to borrow money to us?"
"Yes, these banks are so bad. They came to us before and asked us to borrow money from them. Now when something happens, they all become turtles." Chen Yixin cursed, "Even Shen Bi is using the excuse of taking a vacation and hides in Australia and dare not show up."
"Well, it seems that these foreign banks are unreliable." Xia Tian said in a heavy mood after hearing this.
This time, several major banks chose to stand idly by and even put down the wrong things, which made him feel very unhappy. Once upon a time, he thought that he and Shen Bi were friends, but now it seems that this foreigner is simply unreliable.
"Mad, fortunately, I didn't choose to defect to you." Xia Tian said with gratitude, and then called Xie Rikui, general manager of the China Banking Branch in Hong Kong.
Unlike many wealthy people in Hong Kong who started with foreign banks, the dependence on foreign banks in summer was not high. He started from scratch and made his first pot of gold (focused on oil and Japanese yen) with his own eyes. He also rarely borrowed money afterwards, and only started to make large loans after he had his own bank.
Those rich people made their fortunes with the support of foreign banks. Their fate is closely linked to foreign banks, so their position is also inclined to foreign countries. Many rich people's investments abroad far exceed their investments in the mainland.
Xia Tian’s position is inclined to the mainland. His investment in the mainland has basically occupied the first place in foreign individual investment since the previous year. I believe that for this reason, the China Silver should not refuse to lend a helping hand.
"Hey, who?" Xie Rikui asked after the phone was connected.
"Mr. Xie, it's me, Xia Tian." Xia Tian said with a smile.
"Ah, Mr. Xia, hello." Xie Rikui's voice was very enthusiastic.
"Mr. Xie, let's talk short, I guess you have heard about what happened in Hong Kong yesterday, right?" Xia Tian asked.
"Yes, I know you're in some trouble, Mr. Xia," said Xie Rikui, "Is there anything I can help you?"
"I want to borrow HK$30 billion in cash from your bank. I wonder if Mr. Xie is willing to help this?" Xia Tian asked directly.
"Hong Kong dollars three hundred billion?!" Xie Rikui took a breath when he heard this.
Three hundred billion Hong Kong dollars, that's 60% of the deposits of Bank of China. Summer is really unpolite enough.
"Mr. Xie, is it difficult?" Xia Tian asked again when he saw him reacting like this.
"To be honest, Mr. Xia, I can make the decision within 5 billion Hong Kong dollars. But 30 billion Hong Kong dollars is too much, I need to ask for instructions from the above." Xie Rikui explained.
"It's understandable, then I'll wait for your phone call." Xia Tian nodded, "Please trouble you, Mr. Xie."
"You're welcome, Mr. Xia." Xie Rikui said.
...
After hanging up the phone, Xia Tian looked at Michelle who came to pick him up again, "Print a list of the stocks I hold."
To solve the current trouble, borrowing money from Bank of China to spend the squeezing and withdrawal is only a treatment for symptoms but not the root cause. Only by showing your financial resources and allowing investors to restore confidence in themselves can this trouble be completely solved.
Although he did not intend to disclose the stocks he invested in in the United States, because that would have exposed his trump card. But now that the situation is like this, he has to make it difficult.
Michelle nodded and hurriedly went to make arrangements.
I also returned to the hotel in summer and went to bed.
In fact, he couldn't sleep at all. Xie Rikui didn't call for a while, and he couldn't feel relieved.
With 30 billion Hong Kong dollars, he knew that this money was a lot of money for the mainland and might not be willing to lend it to him.
If he is rejected, he must consider raising funds from other aspects. But in that case, he may not be able to catch up.
After all, it is only about seven hours before the opening of Hong Kong banks. In such a short time, if he wants to raise 30 billion Hong Kong dollars, unless he is the God of Wealth, he can be lucky to the five ghosts.
Time passed by minute by minute, and just as Xia Tian tossed and turned, his elder brother finally rang out.
"Mr. Xia, let me tell you good news. After discussion, Director Ling decided to lend you 30 billion Hong Kong dollars temporarily." Xie Rikui said with a smile.
"Really?! Thank you, General Manager Ling!" Xia Tian jumped out of the bed as soon as he heard this. This is really good news.
"You're welcome, Mr. Xia, you have made so many contributions to the mainland, and the Ling leaders see it. They said that you can't let down the hearts of a patriotic compatriot." Xie Rikui smiled.
"Thank you!" Xia Tian was very moved when he heard him say this. After so many years, his loyalty has been to the mainland, and it is true that he has not given in vain.
"So, I double the interest in order to express my gratitude," he said.
"Mr. Xia, there is no need, the director Ling said that I will lend you the money without interest this time." Xie Rikui refused.
"Why are you so embarrassed? Let's do this. After passing this level, I will donate 3 billion Hong Kong dollars to the mainland." Xia Tian said immediately after hearing this.
"This..." Xie Rikui was shocked when he heard this.
It's only a few days to borrow, and the interest rate is up to 30 to 40 million Hong Kong dollars. It's really a big deal to donate 30 billion Hong Kong dollars in summer.
"No need to refuse, Mr. Xie, that's it." Xia Tian smiled, "You treat me with the national soldiers, and I will repay you!"
When he faced difficulties, all foreign banks became turtles and even put in trouble. He would sooner or later make a clear calculation with them.
