"What other asures can the Zheng Family take?”
Lu Liang scoffed. Since HSBC chose to give up, the takeover of New World was just a matter of ti and cost.
The advantage of dealing with large corporations is this: as long as you show you can take a bite out of them,
They’ll back down because they’re afraid of the pain and responsibility, calling it avoiding unnecessary sacrifice.
Xu Jiayin remained silent for a long ti, feeling a connection: “That’s unavoidable. The longer a company is established, the more bloated its structure becos, often missing the best opportunity due to departnts shirking responsibility.”
Lu Liang remarked pointedly, “Mr. Xu, Hengtai coming to Xiangjiang is an opportunity for a fresh start.”
"Thanks to Mr. Lu’s help, I dare not forget such kindness.” Xu Jiayin’s heart skipped, hastily expressing his stance.
"Mr. Xu, you’re too kind. Tianxing is not helping Hengtai; Tianxing needs such opportunities, and Hengtai happens to be willing to provide them.”
Lu Liang couldn’t help but chuckle. He didn’t want to owe Xu Jiayin a favor; it would be best if he rembered it, but it was okay if he didn’t, as long as he repaid the money.
After all, the last person who tried this hard to help Hengtai had either died or fled, with their ancestral business nearly taken away.
Facing Old Xu, Lu Liang preferred to talk money, holding no hope for emotional ties, so there would be no disappointnt later.
"Mr. Lu, you’re right; we are in a win-win cooperation, mutually beneficial.” Xu Jiayin quickly responded.
It must be said, Lu Liang’s words were more agreeable to hear than Zheng Jiachun’s.
"It’s getting late.”
Lu Liang glanced at the ti, almost midnight.
Xu Jiayin said, “Mr. Lu, I’ll take my leave then. Let’s stay in touch.”
"Take care, Mr. Xu, stay in touch.” Lu Liang stood at the company entrance, watching Xu Jiayin take the elevator away.
After seeing Xu Jiayin off, Lu Liang returned to his office to approve so docunts when there was an urgent knock at the door.
"Co in.”
Hearing Lu Liang’s voice, Xu Jiawei entered with Wen Chao: “Mr. Lu, President Chao has sothing to discuss with you.”
"Mr. Lu, you’re still up.” Wen Chao smiled, but a shadow of gloom crossed his brow.
"Let’s discuss business; there’s no one else here.” Lu Liang closed the file and stood up from his desk.
He walked to the tea table, discarded the tea leaves from the cup, cleaned the teaware, and intended to brew a fresh pot.
Coming this urgently late at night,
It certainly wasn’t a minor issue,
So he prepared for an all-nighter.
"Mr. Lu, Harris’s concerns have co true.”
Wen Chao, worried about causing unnecessary misunderstanding, quickly added, “Mr. Lu, Harris assud you were resting, so he called first to inform.”
"I’m about to go to rest myself.” Lu Liang nodded, understanding, and asked, “Is there an issue with Delii’s subscribed funds?”
Wen Chao nodded and said, “Just now, at 1 PM New York Ti, RIS went to Delii, hoping the bank would assist with an investigation concerning a $3.5 billion fund suspected of money laundering.”
"How did Harris respond?” Lu Liang asked.
Wen Chao said, “He refused to cooperate. According to New York State’s regulations, every fund has already passed departntal reviews beforehand, and we don’t have the authority to assist in any post-incident liabilities.”
"What’s the situation there now?” Lu Liang asked again.
"Because of the refusal to cooperate with the investigation, Hilt is being lawfully summoned for investigation.”
Although Wen Chao had just begun his involvent with Delii Bank, he had done much preparatory howork.
Hilt, although the bank manager, mainly handled administrative managent and market expansion, with decision-making typically done by Harris.
However, since Harris had served ti in prison before, placing him in too crucial a position could cause a negative impact, so he served as a special advisor at Delii.
"Did Harris say how he plans to handle it?” Lu Liang pondered for a mont before asking again.
"He plans to seek help from JPMorgan and Blackstone first, to see if they can find a solution. If not, we’ll handle it ourselves.”
Hearing Wen Chao’s words, Lu Liang suddenly laughed and called Harris directly: “It’s Lu Liang, yes, still awake.”
"Okay then, I’ll leave it to you; I trust you’ll handle it properly.”
After ending the call with Harris, Lu Liang smiled and said, “You don’t need to worry about Delii’s issue for now; Harris should handle it well.”
"How’s the situation at Guangsheng Bank? How long until we can demolish and rebuild?”
Lu Liang brewed tea and looked at Wen Chao.
Getting ahead of HSBC had resulted in all their plans needing to accelerate. Guangsheng Bank, under the umbrella of Huazhi Group, was the primary focus.
Henceforth, all of Tianxing’s financial projects in East Asia would revolve around Guangsheng Bank.
So, aside from the required banking qualifications, all internal departnts would be demolished and rebuilt.
"As soon as the ABS funds are in place, we’ll begin imdiately. It won’t take more than half a month. All departnts will be rebuilt from top managent manager to counter staff, all must undergo assessnts. The capable stay, the incompetent leave.”
"And Huazhi Group has already started the process of delisting for privatization, which will take at least a month. During this period, internal personnel can also be reassessed.”
Wen Chao took a sip of tea and slowly elaborated on his plan. The Huazhi Group and its subsidiaries had 2,081 employees, but ultimately only 30% would remain.
This would ensure a large intake of fresh blood while maintaining normal company operations.
After all, the stepmother fought with the eldest son for ten years, ultimately conceding as the eldest son neglected, announcing the stepmother’s victory in their power struggle.
