Chapter 1229

Gao Xian took the example of promoting the implementation of Xiangjiang's social security system, which obviously made Chief Secretary Huo De, Financial Secretary Zhai Kecheng, and Justice Secretary Ma Fushan completely let go of their temporary vigilance, especially if it is expected that as long as something happens, they will still Ma Fushan, the Attorney General who can continue to work under the new governor.

Because, although there is a lot of controversy surrounding the Xiangjiang social security system, it is definitely not afraid to put it on the table, and then to push it forward during the "indifferent" time before retirement, and is not afraid of being investigated before, during or after the event , It is nothing more than from the British point of view, ignorance of the general situation, and not strictly cooperating with the overall steps of the previous "digging" plan. It is not a serious political error, but in exchange for its own benefits.

Changing the perspective to Gao Xian, it can also stand up to scrutiny. President Gao's enthusiasm for Xiangjiang's social security system is nothing more than the drive of fame and fortune.

In terms of benefits, the insurance industry is relatively backward in Xiangjiang’s financial landscape. When Xiangjiang’s social security system is implemented, it will definitely be able to inject a strong impetus to stimulate the development of the insurance industry.

Even more subtle, with the establishment of new pension institutions and other new positions, they are also very suitable for those retired and old servants who are "knowledgeable about current affairs" in Gao Xian's eyes, to use their "remaining heat". At this time, the three ghost elders in front of him can naturally see the benefits of it, it is a decent and practical way out.

It was Financial Secretary Zhai Kecheng who first expressed his agreement, and Justice Secretary Ma Fushan said cautiously, "The safest way is for the Governor to preside over it, and everyone will support it."

At this time, the Governor of the Constitution mentioned by the Attorney-General Ma Fushan is naturally the Hong Kong Governor Wei Yixin who has been retired but has not yet left.

Chief Secretary Huo De's eyes fell on the wine glass, without saying a word, Gao Xian smiled lightly, "I think the Governor should also want to stay, and have more achievements during his tenure besides the new airport construction plan."

"Sir Gao must have met the governor, so it's almost the same." Chief Secretary Huo De said slowly.

Financial Secretary Zhai Kecheng and Attorney General Ma Fushan have also thought about it, and they are all thinking about their future. The Hong Kong Governor Wei Yixin, who was retired early, does not have the slightest resentment in his heart. As long as he is unhappy, why not leave some good things reputation?

"Come on, let's have a drink." Gao Xian raised his glass.

Chief Secretary Huo De, Financial Secretary Zhai Kecheng, and Justice Secretary Ma Fushan all raised their glasses in understanding, and a tacit understanding and agreement were reached!

After the party was over and Chief Secretary Huo De, Financial Secretary Zhai Kecheng, and Attorney General Ma Fushan all left, Gao Xian did not leave the Changqing Hotel, but contacted Pu Weishi, the chairman of the board of directors of Xinhuifeng Bank Group. time? Come and chat!

In fact, Pu Weishi is also studying the major personnel changes behind Hong Kong governor Wei Yixin's breaking the rules and being honored as a lifelong nobleman, so that there is joy and anticipation that he dare not reveal, for fear that Gao Xian will know.

The old Huifeng Bank Group was pissed off by President Gao, and the establishment of the new Huifeng Bank Group came to an end. That would be too kind.

Maybe, with the arrival of the new Governor of Hong Kong, I won't have to be so servile.

Just as he was thinking about it, President Gao's call came, and Pu Weishi was shocked at that time. Could it be that the other party noticed his disobedience? It shouldn't be so fast! Besides, I just thought about it a little bit in that possible direction.

Fortunately, Sir Gao's voice and tone on the phone were normal, which made Pu Weishi feel at ease.

However, after seeing Gao Xian, Pu Weishi couldn't help feeling guilty again.

Gao Xian, who poured wine for Pu Weishi himself, asked seemingly casually, "The lifelong rule of being awarded a honor for Du Xian is breaking the rules. What do you think?"

Pu Weishi analyzed carefully: "I feel that the biggest possibility is that the London side will give the governor a decent way to end his term, and then appoint a new governor of Xiangjiang."

"I think so too." Gao Xian nodded, and changed the subject: "Has there been any new progress in Huifeng Bank's acquisition of Midland Bank?"

Pu Weishi was refreshed, and finally got to the biggest topic, he could ask for money.

Huifeng Bank's "three-legged stool" internationalization strategy is the last step - the best realization of the European layout, the acquisition of Midland Bank, one of the four major clearing banks in the UK, and the three major resistances it faces are now clearly weakened.

Pu Weishi couldn't hide his excitement when he first came up with this conclusion.

For example, in terms of supervision, as Gao Xian suggested before, start with the regulatory authorities of the European Community, and indeed quickly found a breakthrough direction. The regulatory authorities of the European Community agreed to the acquisition of Midland Bank by the New Huifeng Bank Group, while the British regulatory authorities The department also basically does not object to the acquisition of Midland Bank by the New Huifeng Bank Group.

After all, in this period, the centripetal force between the UK and the upcoming European Union is the mainstream. In addition, in 1986, in order to maintain London's status as an international financial center, the UK fully liberalized its financial industry.

For another example, the British banking industry’s resistance to the new Huifeng Bank Group’s acquisition of Midland Bank, which may change the current structure of the British banking industry, caused a series of tangible or invisible stumbling blocks, and almost disappeared. .

In the final analysis, the UK is now suffering from an economic recession. It is ironic to say that in this economic recession, the UK is almost the first to taste it; and according to the current situation analysis, it is likely to be the last to send it away.

Against this background, it is more and more acceptable for Midland Bank, which has suffered unprecedented losses, to embrace the big thick legs with strong financial resources.

Finally, back to the acquisition of Midland Bank itself, after such a long period of deliberation, the most basic acquisition price was roughly expected, and 400 pence was the watershed.

As for the quotation lower than four hundred pence, the Midland Bank means that it is unnecessary to discuss and save each other's time.

From a global perspective, there are as many as a dozen financial institutions interested in Midland Bank, and Huifeng Bank is not the only one with insight, but there are very few buyers who are willing to bid more than 400 pence. Among them, it helped Huifeng Bank drive away most of its competitors at once.

This situation is not difficult to understand. The purchase of Midland Bank is only the first step. How to recover from such a large stall with unprecedented losses is waiting later. The acquirer must carefully calculate the gains and losses.

"According to the expected purchase price of not less than 400 pence, the capital required to acquire Midland Bank is more than 3 billion pounds. In my judgment, it should not exceed 4 billion pounds, which is about 60 billion Hong Kong dollars." Pu Weishi looked at Gao Xian eagerly, which meant that the money in Xiangjiang Huifeng Bank could not be moved casually, and President Gao had to let him go.
