Chapter 535 Fundraising
"Mr. Tian Guodong, please go here?"
In Los Angeles, the city of angels in the United States, the headquarters of China Bank of China is located here.
Tian Guodong has been to the United States many times in the past, but this is the first time he can observe the core business area of a bank in the United States so close.
American banks emphasize a sense of heaviness in design, which gives people a restrained and deep feeling in terms of architectural form and decoration style. This alone made Tian Guodong realize the differences in the concepts of the two parties. At this time, the banking style in China was still mainly practical, and did not care much about the creation of brand and reputation, and of course they would not care about the mood of customers when handling business.
China Merchants Bank is the first federal deposit and loan bank established in Los Angeles in 1973 with the purpose of assisting and serving the Chinese community and new immigrants.
The development over the past 20 years has made the bank, which was originally a mutual aid institution, a financial industry giant with assets of over 10 billion US dollars.
Especially since Qiong joined the Hundred People's Association, Zhou Shuo has placed Pang Zhou's large-scale investment and financial management business in Huamei Bank.
This is not only because of Huamei Bank's Chinese community background, but also because of the face of the Hundred People Association. As long as there is not too much problem, the Hundred People Association is still very willing to support each other. Wang Jianming, the current president of Huamei Bank, is a member and will even become the president of the Hundred People Association in the future. Zhou Shuo is also a bet on investing in his relationship in advance.
Over the past three years, the billions of dollars of cash that Zhou Shuo has mastered have been flowing continuously among the Bank of China. Wang Jianming almost watched with his own eyes how the stream of hundreds of millions of dollars turned into a rushing river step by step.
Relying on this increasingly large cash flow, Huamei Bank has also achieved achievements far beyond its previous generations.
In order to better serve the important customers of Huamei Bank, there is even a team here responsible for receiving Chinese customers. As the manager of the Foreign Exchange Department of Bank of China, this is the first time that Bank of America has seen him entertained in Chinese.
"Mr. Zhou Shuo is in the conference room in front, where I cannot enter. I can only send you here."
The receptionist pointed to a thick and closed wooden door in front of Tian Guodong, looked ahead with a longing look, and said respectfully.
"No need to send it, I'll go there myself." Tian Guodong looked polite and thanked the Chinese who was receiving the receptionist, took a deep breath, and walked forward with his chest raised and his head raised.
"Mr. Zhou, Manager Tian Guodong of Bank of China is here."
Behind the thick wooden door, this is a luxuriously decorated conference room. On the ground is a dark oak floor. There is a long conference table in the center of the room. On both sides of the heavy conference table, there are silent traders.
Zhou Shuo was sitting in the main seat in front of the conference table at this time.
Zhou Shuo wore a simple white shirt today, with his sleeves rolled into a half-arm style, and two buttons were opened on the collar, making him look sunny and uninhibited.
Compared with Zhou Shuo, full of youthful vitality, Tian Guodong's every move is quite mature. Even in July, he still carries his clothes meticulously. The work clothes of the Bank of China are worn on him, just like a top Italian tailor specially tailored.
"Hello, Mr. Zhou. I am Tian Guodong, the foreign exchange department of Bank of China."
Tian Guodong stood in front of Zhou Shuo in a proper manner, without any attitude of an important department manager of the Bank of China, but instead became a little bit low.
Other domestic departments may not know why Zhou Shuo appeared here and what to do when he appeared here. But Tian Guodong knew. Not only did he know, but he also knew in detail.
12 billion US dollars, converted to 100 billion RMB. Such a huge sum of money, even if it is exchanged for the president of the Bank of China, it is enough for him to show a smile.
"Thank you for your hard work in Manager Tian. Please sit down."
Zhou Shuo shook hands with him gently and asked, "Manager Tian is here just right. I wonder what the current opinion is in China?"
Tian Guodong sat down at Zhou Shuo's head and said hesitantly: "The leaders think that our country is not suitable for putting injustice against neighboring countries at this time. But this is just an official attitude, and it is impossible to control how private capital operates."
"What about my request? Does the Bank of China agree to the foreign exchange loan?" Zhou Shuo continued.
Tian Guodong twisted for a moment and nodded gently: "In principle, I agree, but we hope Mr. Zhou can accept some constraints on the amount of funds and how to use funds."
"Constraint?" Zhou Shuo was not surprised by this. Foreign exchange is now the lifeblood of China. It is usually Pixiu. It is easy to put it in the pocket, but it will be difficult to take it out.
Zhou Shuo mortgaged a series of industries such as the entire domestic Panhan Group, Huajing Group, BOE, and Xiucheng Commercial Bank, hoping to borrow at least $10 billion from Bank of China. Whether this loan can be successfully approved depends on the news brought by Tian Guodong.
"Mr. Zhou asked for a loan of US$10 billion. This amount is too large, so it will definitely not work. The head office means that by using Huajing and Fanhan Optics to manufacture the assets of two companies, we can give you $3 billion to lend to you. But the use of funds must be under the monitoring of Bank of China. Once the investment loss exceeds US$100 million, we will recover the loan..."
To be honest, Tian Guodong was a little guilty when he said this. He worked in a bank for so many years, and he had never heard of high-quality customers like Fanhan Group who dared not take out a loan.
Not to mention the one behind, if you lose more than $100 million, you will get your loan back - this is simply unsatisfactory. Typically, you want to eat fish, but don’t want to make you fishy.
However, Zhou Shuo was not very moved by this. It is already a very proud thing to be able to pluck the hair from the iron rooster, and supervision is a matter of course. Since the Chinese Bank does not want to take risks, it is better to use the funds if you are absolutely sure. Anyway, others still need to worry, and he is confident that he will never lose money.
"No problem. Although 3 billion is a little less, I feel more confident with this support." Zhou Shuo smiled and asked, "When will this 3 billion be achieved?"
"Early morning this morning, that is, before 17 o'clock tomorrow, the imperial capital time." Tian Guodong looked at the following table and said cautiously.
