The journey starts from the Titanic

Situ Nan had to give up!Probably understand the other party's thoughts, secretly grateful.

"I don't know where Absinthe has grown? I really want to ask him how he has gained recently."

Situ Nan thought to himself.

After returning to China this time, he was going to be a "house thief". Absinthe was the spokesperson for the robbery designed by him. Just using this method to "protect" the cultural relics, is it too hypocritical?

The Li family prepared a few good side dishes for Situ Nan and the others. They were not extravagant but very real, which showed that the Li family was not the kind of extravagant family as imagined.

Situ Nan felt that it tasted good, a bit homely, and couldn't help but appetite.

He brought Lin Yimin with him tonight, naturally, it was for Meihua's business, to be precise, it was for Meihua Bank.

After drinking for three rounds, Situ Nan put down his chopsticks, wiped his mouth, brewed for a while, and said, "Lao Li, it is true that I have a ruthless request. I would like to apply to you on behalf of Meihua Company. We want to invest in Guangdong. Banking company."

After speaking, he looked at Li Yutang expectantly.

Lin Yimin, who was next to him, quickly agreed: "Meihua is absolutely sincere, and the price we offer will definitely not hurt you."

Lin Yimin said confidently.

Guangdong Bank (Company) was an overseas Chinese in San Francisco, USA. In 1912, Lu Pengshan found that Hong Kong lacked Chinese-funded banks, so he initiated the organization of Guangdong Bank. Li Yutang, Li Zizhong, Li Xingqu and other wealthy overseas Chinese in Guangdong also joined the Bank of Guangdong to raise funds. Up to 1.2 million, it became one of the largest Chinese banks at that time.

Since then, Chinese banks in Hong Kong have sprung up, followed by the establishment of the Bank of East Asia, the Bank of China, and the National Commercial and Savings Bank.

After World War I, Guangdong Bank opened four branches. In addition to the Hong Kong Central Headquarters, there were also three branches in Guangzhou, Shanghai and Hankou. The scale has expanded to 4 million yuan.However, after the war, European banks made a comeback, and Guangdong Bank was under greater pressure, and its development gradually slowed down.

On the contrary, it is a freak like the U.S. China Bank. With the continuous financial support of Situ Nan, and using the advantages of American capital, it is invincible in Nanyang, China and other places, and it has become a giant in the Chinese banking industry.

As a rising star, although it cannot use the political and military advantages at every turn to obtain privileged operations in major cities along the coast of China, like the banking groups of other major powers such as HSBC, CALY, Jincheng, etc., Meihua also has its own ability and strength, and has Chinese businessmen have come closer and have a more harmonious relationship, which belongs to some alternative existence.But catching mice is a good cat, and no one can ignore the existence of American China Bank.

"What's the price? Let's listen?" Li Yutang said nonchalantly.

He guessed the intention of Situ Nan, and he also knew that Lin Yimin is now the head of Meihua Company (China), who recently caused a sensation in the construction of Dongshan New City.

He even knew that behind all this, the biggest thing was Situ Nan in front of him.A young man who few people know, but has a strong influence.Scary thing, this young man owns more than just Meihua Company!

"The posterity is terrible!" Li Yutang sighed secretly.If his son had survived to the present-thinking of this, Li Yutang's face twitched slightly, and a trace of grief flashed in his eyes, some complaining about the revolutionary party who instigated his son to "make trouble."

Lin Yimin didn't know that Li Yutang, who was squinting in front of him, had just experienced such complicated changes in his heart.

He readily said: "Our offer is 2.1 million yuan to invest in 51% of the shares of Guangdong Bank. At least 30% of the shares should not be less than, and the price can be negotiated."

Lin Yimin didn't know, but Situ Nan noticed the changes in Li Yutang's heart in an instant, but felt that everyone has their own secrets and ideas.Well, this Li Yutang is definitely a person with a story.

Situ Nan came to a conclusion in his heart.

"Little queen, my ambition is not small! But the price is fair." Li Yutang nodded, his attitude is still indifferent.

"It's not small. In addition to Guangdong Bank, we are also very interested in other banks. Because American China Bank will become the core of the South China Consortium." Situ Nan believes.

"Our Chinese-funded banks have a small capital, and the competition with those Western capitals itself will lose a lot in terms of policy. If we do not unite and concentrate our efforts, we will not be able to compete with foreign banks with rich financial resources. Moreover, in terms of management, foreign banks are better than Chinese banks. Karma has experience."

Situ Nan interjected a very ambitious sentence, causing Li Yutang to frown slightly.

"However, we also have our own advantages. In recent years, Chinese capital has developed rapidly. Although European power has come back because of the end of the world war, China's development is generally moving forward. This is also an opportunity for the Chinese Bank. So we are all I am more optimistic about this market."

Situ Nan explained again.

He talked eloquently, "I believe that Chinese banks will develop further in the next ten years, and will form the Jiangsu and Zhejiang consortium with Shanghai as the core, the North China consortium with Tianjin as the core, and the South China consortium with Guangzhou as the core.

Among them, the Jiangsu and Zhejiang consortium has the strongest strength, and Shanghai has concentrated all of China's industrial and commercial centers. There is no doubt about this.Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces are China’s traditional silk and tea production bases. At the same time, light industries such as textiles and grain processing have also developed. With Shanghai’s decent light and heavy industries and the increasingly developed financial industry, the Jiangsu and Zhejiang Consortium will be the most The decisive force."

"History" has already witnessed this. Without the blood supply from the Jiangsu and Zhejiang consortium, there would be no Chiang Kai-shek successfully cleaning up the domestic warlords and reaching the top step by step!

Li Yutang heard Situ Nan's point of truth, so he became interested and asked, "What about North China?"

"The North China Consortium is mainly a capital group with Beiyang warlords and bureaucrats as the main body. They are both officials and businessmen, and they can use their power to obtain economic benefits. Those warlords, which is not a good master? Which is not fat, big-eared and rich of?"

Having said this, Situ Nan couldn't help but despise those mediocre and shrewd bureaucratic businessmen.He changed the subject and said, "However, the North China Consortium is not all rascal, and some people of insight. For example, Mr. Zhou Xuexi, who founded Qixin Cement, is fine. It is a pity that the coal and iron ore in the north are important. The industry is mostly controlled by the British and Japanese."

Situ Nan shook his head. He also thought of the Japanese capital that is now investing heavily in the Northeast. Although the old bandit Zhang Zuolin got a lot from the Japanese, the Japanese got even more from the Northeast.When Lao Zhang died, all the industries that the Lao Zhang family worked so hard on fell into the hands of the Japanese.

Well, it seems that it can also be described as Jinghuashuiyue.Therefore, Situ Nanming knows that the Northeast is the most suitable for investing in heavy industry. He has the heart and capital, but he is afraid that the Japanese will be cheaper in the end.

"There is one left. Tell me about the South China Consortium in your mouth." When Li Yutang heard the most energy, he urged Situ Nan to stop.

Situ Nan shook his head, and at the urging of Li Yutang, he said again: "South China Consortium, how do you say? It's a bit complicated, and some are not the same as the above two consortiums. It can also be said to be the Nanyang consortium. Fujian and Guangdong have been doing business with foreign countries since ancient times In the tradition of business, Fujian and Guangdong merchants are more open and easy to accept new things. At the same time, they have accumulated a lot of funds in overseas trade. Didn't you dig the first pot of gold from overseas trade?

After the development, overseas Chinese and Chinese businessmen in Nanyang returned to China to invest and start businesses. Directors of Guangdong Bank Corporation Li Laoyou, Lu Pengshan, Li Zizhong, and Li Xingheng are typical representatives. You have opened up a new era in the development of Chinese banks in Hong Kong.When banks and industries are combined, consortia are formed.

The Bank of East Asia, the National Savings Bank, etc. are also part of the South China Consortium.In addition, there are several Chinese families in Nanyang, Zhang Bishi family, Huang Zhonghan family, Lu You family, etc., they can also be regarded as consortiums.These Nanyang Chinese consortiums have close ties with the business and political circles of Fujian and Guangdong. If Guangzhou Hong Kong and the Nanyang Chinese consortium are merged, will this be a Nanyang consortium soon?"

"That's a good point! This is the first time the old man has heard this interesting statement!" Li Yutang smiled slightly, and rarely took the initiative to refill Situ Nan and asked suddenly, "Where is the Meihua Consortium?"

Chapter 75

What exactly is Meihua?Sino-foreign joint ventures?There seems to be no such statement.

Situ Nan shook his head, thought for a moment, and said, "Meihua is a foreign company, a Chinese foreign company."

"Chinese foreign trade?" Li Yutang glanced at Situ Nan, thoughtfully, put aside his teacup, and said lightly: "It's still foreign trade!"

Situ Nan didn’t know how to take this, and couldn’t refute it. It is true that Meihua has many advantages over most Chinese-funded enterprises. The treatment is no different from that of foreign firms such as Jardine and Taikoo. The only thing that comforts Situ is Meihua. There is no opium business, no porn, gambling, and drug industry, which is more conscientious.

It's just that in this era when even the prime ministers are holding foreigners' self-respect, Chinese-funded enterprises are desperately going to register in the concession area, and it is normal for Meihua Company to wear foreigners' skin.

Just emotionally, compared with the purely Chinese-owned Guangdong Bank, Meihua still has a little bit...

Lin Yimin punished his lips, wanted to say something, but was stopped by Situ Nan's eyes.

He knew what Lin Yimin had to say.

Meihua invests a large amount of the money it makes every year in Nanyang, and strives for the living space of the Chinese. This can only be done and cannot be said.

Of course, Meihua spends a lot of money on charity education every year, but it is not obligated to explain to Li Yutang.

Although Situ Nan had a good impression of Li Yutang, it was not the time to reveal Meihua's secret to the other party.

Lin Yimin smiled sadly, picked up his teacup and drank silently.

The three of them did not speak, and the atmosphere fell silent for a while.

In any case, Meihua will control the Guangdong Bank, the largest bank in the South China Consortium, and Meihua will put the resources of the South China Consortium into its management and control Lingnan's economy in the name of the South China Consortium.

Li Yutang, who was still an older man, was the first to react. He chuckled and said, "The old man just got in touch, hehe! I know a lot about Meihua, and he is very disciplined and measured. Compared to those foreign firms, it is much better. At least in times of difficulty, we can extend a helping hand to the Chinese compatriots instead of letting go. Meihua has done a beautiful job in the case of Nanyang Tobacco!"

Before going to Nanyang, Jian Zhaonan once asked Li Yutang for help, asking Guangdong Bank for a loan of 500,000 yuan to Nanyang Tobacco Company.
