Chapter 928 Waiting for the big fish to take the bait
Lin Boxin didn't stay long with Yang Chen.
After finishing the drink, the greetings were finished.
He went straight back to his yacht and left.
In recent years, with Yang Chen's strong rise, although the Lin Group has competed with the Yang Group in some industries, both parties have tended to be in healthy competition and have not secretly undermined each other.
So far, although the British capital forces in Hong Kong have accelerated the withdrawal of investment from Xiangjiang after 1984, making the advantage of Chinese capital forces more and more obvious, in general, the eyes of most Chinese capital bosses are still on British capital. above.
Although small conflicts occur from time to time, Chinese businessmen are more restrained in big conflicts. Even if they compete, they will not offend them to the death.
After Lin Boxin left, Shen Zhou went to his boat and took the fishing rod over. He and Yang Chen fished quietly under the umbrella on the bow of the boat. He was used to the way the big guys talked, so Yang Chen was not in a hurry and felt at ease. Accompany Shen Zhou to catch the first fish.
Okay, God was not kind to me. Half an hour passed, and neither Chen Porridge nor Yang Chen's fishing rod moved at all.
"Where have all these fish gone?" Shen Porridge muttered and complained. Then he inserted the fishing rod into the holder, picked up the red wine placed in the ice bucket, removed the cork, and poured two glasses. Red wine, "Yang Sheng, it seems that our luck is not very good today."
Yang Chen stretched, took the wine glass, drank it down and said, "If the little fish doesn't come, today we'll just sit back and wait for the big fish to take the bait."
After hearing this, Shen Porridge laughed loudly and said, "Yang Sheng, your appetite is still as big as ever. Okay, today I will accompany you Yang Sheng and wait for the big fish to take the bait."
After drinking, the two chatted while fishing.
While chatting, Shen Porridge couldn't help but talk about his upcoming retirement.
It has been almost ten years since Shen Chou took up the position of Chief Executive Officer of HSBC Bank. According to British laws, he has indeed reached the age of retirement and has made arrangements to return to China for retirement.
Yang Chen understood something and couldn't help but ask: "Mr. Shen, what are your plans after retirement?"
Nowadays, Shen Chou is almost sixty years old. It is natural for ordinary people to retire at this time, but for people like Shen Chow, it is somewhat of a pity to retire so early.
However, this kind of thing cannot be forced. As for Shen Chou's retirement, the board of directors of HSBC has agreed that Shen Chou will say goodbye to HSBC almost next year.
"I am ready to return to the UK for retirement. I have been busy with work these years and have too little time to spend with my family. When I return to the UK, I will entertain my grandchildren every day, take care of myself and live a leisurely life."
Shen Chow's words are not a joke. He joined HSBC in 1948, crossed the ocean in 1949 and set foot on the land of Hong Kong. In the process, he traveled to island countries, Singapore and other countries and regions for experience, and finally took over in 1977. Chairmanship of HSBC Bank.
I have held this position of chairman for almost ten years.
It can be said that Shen Chu devoted his most precious time and youth to HSBC. He achieved his current status not by flattering his superiors or flattering his superiors, but by working step by step and relying on his own abilities. , really capable of reaching the top.
Unlike previous HSBC bosses, Shen Chou changed the conservative style of traditional bankers after he came to power. He boldly invested in and acquired overseas banks, expanded HSBC's overseas business, and turned HSBC into a truly major international bank.
At the same time, when the situation in Hong Kong changed, he boldly supported Chinese capital to replace British capital, and attracted a group of powerful Chinese businessmen to HSBC. Among them, the deeds of Li Chaoren and the chartering king are the most talked about.
Shen Cong's foresight, vision, and way of dealing with people are what Yang Chen particularly values and appreciates. Although Shen Cong is just a wage earner, if there is such a person under his command, Yang Chen will be very happy.
In his previous life, Shen Chou valued Super Man Li and spared no effort to help him rise. Finally, when Li Chaoren became the richest man in China, Shen Chow, a bole, also received generous rewards, which can be said to be both fame and fortune.
In the previous life, he was Li Chaoren, and in this life, he is Yang Chen.
After Yang Chen suddenly emerged, Shen Zhou continued to ask HSBC to deepen the cooperative relationship with Yang Chen. Facts have proved that he once again made the right bet. Compared with Li Chaoren, whom he had high hopes for before, Yang Chen's growth rate is far faster than that of Li Chaoren, whom he had high hopes for before. The former has greatly exceeded his expectations.
In this place in Xiangjiang
In the 1960s, Huo Daheng was truly the number one person among the Chinese community. Everyone knew about him.
In the 1970s, the world's shipping boomed, and the chartered ship king relied on his reputation as the world's shipping king to become a king who was arrogant and unsurpassed.
Shen Chou originally thought that in the 1980s, Li Chaoren, whom he valued, would become the most handsome boy among all the Chinese businessmen.
However, things went against his expectations and he made a mistake.
Yang Chen emerged from nowhere in 8182, which suddenly interrupted Li Chaoren's upward momentum and attracted everyone's attention, making Li Chaoren, whom he originally valued, seem somewhat eclipsed in front of him.
Now Yang Chen has replaced the richest Chinese man in chartering, and even went one step further to become the richest man in Asia. According to his calculations, I am afraid that in a few years, the world's richest man may officially fall to Yang Chen.
In the next ten years, no, maybe twenty or thirty years, there will be no one who can surpass Yang Chen in Xiangjiang.
Therefore, there is a big difference in Shen Zhou's attitude towards Yang Chen. Different from helping the Charter King and Li Chaoren, it is just to make HSBC profit and other additional benefits.
Shen Zhou's attitude toward Yang Chen was more of an expectation.
A kind of inexplicable, unclear way, wanting to see how far Yang Chen will develop in the future and how far he can go. This is what Shen Zhou wants to see the most, not just simple interests.
"Mr. Shen, there are two celebrities in our Chinese history. One of them is called Gan Luo and the other is Lian Po. The former became prime minister at the age of twelve, and the latter can still go into battle to kill the enemy at the age of seventy..."
"When I was learning about the history of China, I also read about the two people Yang Sheng mentioned. They are both household names whose names have been passed down through the ages."
"Since Mr. Shen knows this, what does Mr. Shen think is the most admirable thing about the two of them?"
Hearing this, Shen Chu raised his head and looked at Yang Chen. Seeing that he did not conceal his intentions, he couldn't help but smile and said: "Yang Sheng, you are more admirable than I thought. Whether it is ability or ambition, you are far away." Far more than Bao Sheng and Li Sheng."
Yang Chen said without comment: "One more thing, there is age."
