The Industrial Giant Reborn.

Chapter 447: The irrefutable evidence is obtained
On November 11st, Zhou Jiayang came to the headquarters of Hisense Bank again, but this time he was not empty-handed, but brought a very small document bag with a lot of documents in it.

"You are so fast, you got the evidence so quickly." Huo Jianning is a professional financial person. After just looking at it for a while, he confirmed that this was real false evidence, including some of Land's original investment or loan information, and the corresponding information was changed. Although it is just some tables, as long as you search based on this, you can find the corresponding evidence.

"The Land has given benefits to these people, but there are so many people. I only need to choose one to attack. Not to mention that the Land's financial resources are not as good as mine, even if it is ten times stronger than me, I can't defend it." Yang Xiao of the Zhou family said.One attack and one defense are inherently unfair.

"Then this person promised to report in the future?" Huo Jianning asked again.

The purpose of getting evidence here is to ensure that everything is foolproof, but it is impossible for them to report it, especially with these data and evidence. It will be clear to everyone that one of them has a spy in the other company, which will hurt the image of his own bank. After all, No customer would like to work with a bank that has a history of targeting customers like this.

"Of course, as long as the money is enough, why not? After reporting and submitting the evidence, he will be arranged to return to the UK. This is what I promised him." Zhou Jiayang said.

"What about the people who came into contact with him?" Huo Jianning asked.

"I arranged for this person and their family to immigrate to a small country in Europe. There is also a branch of Midea there. Their family will work there. I have also made an agreement with Midea." Zhou Jiayang said.Although it is not illegal, there is no need to cause trouble. The group is so big anyway, so you can just find a suitable position overseas.

"Okay, in this case, even if something unexpected happens, we won't be able to be contacted." Huo Jianning nodded and said.

"Then if there's no problem with you, let's go see the boss." Zhou Jiayang said again. Now that it's time to make a decision, it's natural to go to the boss. For such a major matter involving billions of Hong Kong dollars, they These people can only control the process, but the decision still comes from the boss.

Afterwards, the two went to Galaxy Building with all the documents. The boss worked here most of the time. Only when the headquarters of Midea Building was built could he return to Central again.

"Sit down. This is some coffee and tea sent by the Hong Kong Governor. You should also drink some." Chen Zhiwen led the two of them to the sofa in the rest area. The secretary also prepared various drinks. Generally speaking, Next, in fact, Chen Zhiwen doesn't like talking at his desk. After all, in an era before computers were popularized, it was not much different anywhere.

"Chen Sheng, there are already people on Landmark's side who are willing to report Landmark afterwards. I also have some evidence of Landmark's false accounting, but this is just in case, we will not come forward directly." The Zhou family Yang said.

"Is this considered irrefutable evidence?" Chen Zhiwen said after looking at the information.

"It cannot be calculated absolutely. Based on Land's debt, we found a bank in Thailand and the salesperson who originally provided the loan for Land. After spending a little money, we learned from him that Land actually lent them US$1800 million, and Land is now preparing to wipe out the funds. However, they will not give it to us if we cannot get actual evidence from the Thai bank." Zhou Jiayang said: "But if there is an internal report, then the Hong Kong government will launch an investigation and ask As for the Thai bank, they should provide data in this regard. And once the Hong Kong government conducts a comprehensive investigation of Land, many of the accounts will be untenable."

"Landmark is not Jia Ning. How do you know whether the Hong Kong government will downplay big issues and downplay trivial matters? We do have enough influence in Hong Kong, but it may not be as good as Landmark Jardine, which has been around for hundreds of years. Besides, they are in the UK There are still connections there, so I need to be absolutely sure. Once a small probability event occurs, we will miss what may be the only opportunity to acquire Land." Chen Zhiwen shook his head and said.

When the real estate market recovers and gradually moves up after 85, all the problems of real estate will be solved. Even if the initial funding will be difficult, at most the problem can be solved by selling the previous branches or building properties. Outsiders will think again. Forced acquisition is almost impossible.

Although in early 1987 in the original history, Jardine Matheson seemed to intend to withdraw from Hong Kong and prepare to sell land, the initiative was in Jardine Matheson's hands. History has changed too much now. If Jardine Matheson's senior management does not have this idea, then they themselves will There is really no chance at all.

Therefore, this economic crisis is the only window of opportunity where you can take the initiative, and you must be fully prepared before taking action.

"The only way is to find a way to get their actual data from the Thai bank, but generally speaking, this is almost impossible. This is the bank's top-secret information. It is impossible to tell the data about cooperation with customers. Outsiders, if we really violate some rules, it is possible to get it, but it is just an illegal method. The court will not accept this kind of document and will only declare it invalid." Huo Jianning thought for a while and said.

For banks, if customers request confidentiality, they must not be disclosed unless the court issues a search warrant or government request, etc. The same is true for Hisense Bank's internal management. If you disclose it casually, who among the big customers will dare to cooperate with you?
Through some methods, insiders can also obtain information, but it is obtained illegally and the court will not admit it. On the contrary, even if this evidence is presented through official channels, it will not be recognized.Besides, doing so doesn't mean that Hutchison and Yihe are pitted against each other.

"I know this. Do you have information on this Thai bank? Is it a listed company?" Chen Zhiwen asked.

"Yes, it is a very old Thai bank, headquartered in Bangkok. Its main business is to provide financing for many residential real estate projects in Thailand. In the past, it also referred to participating in local business in Thailand. I don’t know why, but it has cooperation with Land Yes." Zhou Jiayang said.

"Can it be acquired? What is the total market value?" Chen Zhiwen asked again.

"Sheng Chen, Thailand does not allow foreign capital to acquire local banks, with a maximum holding of 25%." Huo Jianning said that most countries will protect their banks, especially developing countries. Banks are the lifeblood of finance. If they open up, they will only be The capital of developed countries has been swallowed up. "Then if we acquire 25%, can we ask for a check of the accounts?" Chen Zhiwen thought for a while and then said: "As long as we find the contract amount between them and Land, and then the amount of the financial data handed over to us by Land, if it is different, Isn’t that irrefutable evidence? And it was obtained through legal channels?”

"That's true, but the market value of this bank is almost US$5 million, so we have to invest more than US$1 million." Zhou Jiayang asked again.In fact, they have thought about it, but they can't decide with so much money.

The new major shareholders of most companies are indeed qualified to conduct audits, or to request audits, especially in the banking industry.

"It doesn't matter. As long as this bank doesn't have big problems like Hisense before, its future development will not be bad. Thailand's economy will still be good in recent years. I'm also optimistic about the future, but it may not be as good as Hong Kong." , it doesn’t matter if we invest some of our capital.” Chen Zhiwen said: “Besides, it doesn’t matter if we can successfully acquire the land.”

From the mid-80s to before the Asian financial crisis in 97, Thailand was known as the Four Little Tigers. A large amount of foreign investment entered it, and the gains were quite considerable. However, for Chen Zhiwen, this good income was still not as good as that of Hong Kong, the mainland, and even Wanwan is next door and I am not familiar with its history, so I will not participate.

But if it is to help acquire real estate, then of course you have to invest. Anyway, you will definitely make money yourself. Thailand’s real estate market will also develop greatly in the future. As a companion business, banks can basically make a lot of money as long as they don’t make mistakes. earn.

In the future, it is estimated that the rent of Land Land will be several hundred million US dollars a year. Although inflation is taken into account, no matter how you compare it, the current US$[-] million is still far behind.

"Then you can give it a try. I will mobilize funds to acquire the shares of this company. This Thai agricultural bank basically has no major shareholders. It is not difficult for us to acquire it, but it will take some time." Huo Jianning said.

"Our purpose is not to acquire this bank. There is no need to hide it. We can just approach it openly. Just say that we are optimistic about Thailand's future and are ready to invest in Thailand's banking industry, and then put out some big baits, such as that we can help them. When entering Hong Kong or even entering the international market, the price can also be negotiated, or Hutchison Whampoa can borrow a sum of funds from them to increase their business. There is no harm to us, but it is a real benefit to them. ." Chen Zhiwen said.

With the international reputation of companies such as Hutchison Whampoa, Midea, and Red Bull, it can be said that cooperation with ordinary small banks is very prestigious, and ordinary small banks will also find ways to embrace these big trees.

"Okay, I will personally go to Thailand to negotiate with this bank. With the resources of our group, if it is just a simple investment, it shouldn't be a problem." Huo Jianning said with some confidence.

If it is a Hong Kong company, or a non-bank financial company in other regions, you may be cautious when talking about investing in such a giant, but there is no need to worry about any bank in Thailand, because the law prohibits foreign capital from controlling local banks, even if you break through The law restricts the acquisition of 99% of the shares, let alone the minimum of 25%. With a certain number of shares, as long as you have 10%, you can ask to check the bank accounts. This is also a normal operation of large investments. Who invests? What about financial reviews that have not been done before?

And what he wants is just a piece of data that can crush Land Land.

In the next half month, Hisense Bank did not urge Land. Instead, it gave Land a sigh of relief. After all, it takes time to do the accounting, otherwise it will definitely be full of loopholes.

Huo Jianning, on the other hand, took his team to a trip to Thailand and communicated with the local Bank of Thailand in Bangkok. He expressed that he wanted to invest in the other party and also provided appropriate information. For example, during the Hong Kong dollar exchange rate crisis, Hisense Bank A total of US$27 billion was provided to deal with massive runs across Hong Kong.

Danong Bank was also shocked after seeing this data. The market value of their entire bank is only US$5 million. Although its assets are US$20 billion, its real funds are only about US$1 million, and they are all in Thai baht. Although Thailand does not have very strict foreign exchange controls, it is difficult to exchange too many US dollars. This investment will directly obtain about 1 million US dollars in funds.

Subsequently, Danong Bank naturally sent people to Hong Kong to investigate, and the results were similar. Hisense Bank single-handedly suppressed the collapse of the Hong Kong dollar. At the same time, the boss behind it was Chen Zhiwen, the richest Chinese man in the world.

Coupled with a lot of plans for future cooperation, and the price of the shares is also very reasonable, this made the senior management and directors of Danong Bank very excited, and they quickly agreed to invite a third-party financial audit agency in the UK to conduct an review. .

At this point, it is actually considered a success. As long as the audit obtains the loan that Danong Bank once provided to Real Estate, that will be enough. Danong Bank will not hide this matter. They also don’t know that Hisense Bank is willing to spend Hundreds of millions of dollars invested, just for this purpose.

The time soon came to early December. At Hisense's request, Land provided a form of its investment expenditure and debt of hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars, which obviously did not include the loan from Thailand's Agricultural Bank of China.

The irrefutable proof is here.
