Chapter 204: HSBC takes action, Shiqi Real Estate is in deep crisis
"If the Wharf really fell into Chen Wen's hands so easily, it would not be the Wharf anymore."
Li Chaoren looked at Hong Xiaolian meaningfully.
Just as Li Chaoren said, Hutchison Whampoa and Swire Properties are the pillar industries of Jardine Matheson.
It can be said that if Jardine Matheson had easily lost Wharf Holdings, then what would have been Jardine Matheson’s position in Hong Kong Island?
In other words, Chen Wen is now competing with Jardine Matheson.
Li Chaoren is no match for the other party, and how could Chen Wen’s New Hongxing, a newly established real estate company, possibly defeat Jardine Matheson?
Not to mention anything else, in terms of funds alone, Li Chaoren's cash flow far exceeds that of Chen Wen.
Even so, Li Chaoren was still not sure he could take over Hutchison Whampoa.
But this time it may not be the case. New Hung Hing Properties and Jardine Matheson are in a big dispute over the Wharf incident.
If Chen Wen had not stepped forward, then Jardine Matheson would have been targeting Li Chaoren's feldspar.
On the contrary, with Chen Wen stepping forward to block the knife, if Li Chaoren attacks Hutchison Whampoa again, it is bound to not attract the attention of Jardine Matheson.
In Li Chaoren's opinion, he was very happy to let Chen Wen's new Hongxing take the lead.
……
The other side.
Just when Chen Wen and Tang Judi were having fun.
All I heard was Tang Judy's cell phone ringing.
However, what a coincidence that this call came at a critical moment for the two of them. How could Tang Judy have the chance to answer the call at this time?
It wasn't until the ringing lasted for several minutes that it completely stopped.
But this is just the beginning.
In the next less than two minutes, the phone rang nearly a dozen times.
There is no doubt that it must be the company, or someone else has something important to talk to Tang Judy about.
"No, Awen, I have to take a call."
Although Tang Judy was already in high spirits, she was still somewhat impatient when being interrupted by the phone call.
She had no choice but to tell Chen Wen his idea.
But Chen Wen always meets whatever Tang Zhudi asks for.
That was why, before Tang Zhudi could recover from her shock, Chen Wen picked up the phone nearby and put it to Tang Zhudi's ear to answer it.
This operation really makes it impossible for Tang Judy to do anything.
He subconsciously suppressed the restlessness in his heart and whispered to the other party: "What's the matter?"
"what?"
Tang Judy's eyes widened instantly.
Obviously, it was not only Chen Wen's operation that surprised Tang Zhudi.
The content of the phone call also shocked Tang Judy.
Before Tang Judy could reply, Chen Wen hung up the phone.
Then, the two had another hard fight.
After about ten minutes, Tang Zhudi was finally released from Chen Wen's hands.
At this moment, she had no time to care about the breathless tone of the speech.
Just called back as quickly as possible.
Even Chen Wen, who had been with Tang Zhudi for such a long time, saw Tang Zhudi so nervous for the first time.
Chen Wen lifted Tang Judy's chin and asked with an admiring look: "What happened?"
Hearing this, Tang Judi immediately shook her head, indicating that it was nothing serious.
But at this moment, her expression had already betrayed him.
That's right! Even she herself didn't believe what was said on the phone just now.
"Chairman, the company's capital turnover has encountered some problems."
Hearing the assistant's words, the expression on Tang Judy's face became visibly tense.
She was just about to go out to answer the call, but was stopped by Chen Wen.
Seeing this, Tang Judy had no choice but to continue asking: "What's going on?"
"I just received a call. HSBC has stopped the two loans we were negotiating."
"And they stipulated that we should pay off all the debts within three days."
"We simply can't take out that much money from our account right now."
Tang Judy's secretary truthfully informed Tang Judy of the current situation of Shiqi Real Estate Company.
In fact, in Hong Kong Island, there are few companies doing business that do not deal with banks.
The same is certainly true for Shiqi Real Estate Company.
However, the relationship between Shiqi Real Estate Company and HSBC Bank is just that of a client and a boss.
It can be said that the cooperative relationship between the two sides has always been good.
Similar to this time, HSBC directly stopped all loans of Shiqi Real Estate Company without any reason. This has never happened before.
Not to mention the secretary beside Tang Judy, even Tang Judy felt puzzled.
She immediately asked, "Have you done everything you need to do?"
"The last two payments were indeed urgent, and some of the formalities were not complete. However, I followed the chairman's instructions and took care of everything that needed to be done. There shouldn't be any problems."
Tang Judy's secretary quickly reported.
"The funding chain was suddenly cut off. Did HSBC tell us the reason?"
Hearing this, Tang Judy still pretended to be calm and continued to ask.
But in fact, her heart had been in a mess since she answered the first call.
As the chairman of Shiqi Real Estate Company, she is of course aware of the problems that will be faced next as there is a problem with cash flow.
But just when Tang Zhudi asked about the situation, Chen Wen decisively snatched Tang Zhudi's phone and hung up.
Tang Judy grabbed the phone anxiously, muttering, "Hey, this is not the time to joke around. Something big has happened in the company."
Just from the conversation between the two, it can be heard that Shiqi Real Estate Company has encountered a big problem.
Faced with such a situation, Chen Wen remained calm and composed as usual.
Even seeing Tang Judy so nervous, he did not forget to pour Tang Judy a glass of whiskey.
"No, I'm really not in the mood right now."
Tang Judy said this anxiously, still dialing a phone number.
Just when she was confused, Chen Wen put the whiskey directly into Tang Judy's hand and looked at her firmly: "I heard it, HSBC."
Upon hearing this, Tang Judi immediately stopped her hurried movements.
Faced with this critical moment, Chen Wen's face showed a calmness that was inconsistent with the situation.
Good guy!
Is this really a good attitude?
Or had Awen already anticipated this?
Impossible! Even I just heard about it, how could Awen know it?
But Chen Wen's expression was enough to explain everything. Tang Zhudi still subconsciously looked at Chen Wen and asked, "Did you know that this would happen?"
Hearing this, Chen Wen raised his hands, looking as if it was a matter of course.
Seeing this, the expression on Tang Zhudi's face changed from panic to curiosity about Chen Wen.
If nothing unexpected happens, Shiqi Real Estate Company has not offended HSBC.
In fact, this matter has nothing to do with Shiqin Real Estate, but is related to Chen Wen.
