Chapter 1428 The New and Future Boss of Barings Bank!

Shen Yi is already 68 years old, and his energy is not as good as it was in the 1980s.

However, Yang Ming thought clearly from the beginning that Shen Yi's entry into Barings Bank was only temporary. As long as Barings Bank survives the crisis, he will let others take over his position.

As Pu Weishi said, Shen Yi has worked in Huifeng Bank for such a long time and is very experienced in managing banks.

In addition, Shen Yi's influence in Country Y and even Europe and the United States is still relatively large. If he serves as the new head of Barings Bank, he will also gain the trust and support of the original customers.

Seeing the eyes of Sir Yang and others looking at him, Shen Yi was a little surprised.

Although Shen Yi is a workaholic and not the kind of person with a strong desire for power, he has worked for so many years after all. After handing over Huifeng Bank to Pu Weishi, he is indeed a little uncomfortable.

"Mr. Shen, I believe in your ability. In addition, this time you are invited to play the role of a firefighter. First, deal with the internal crisis of Barings Bank, and then hand over Barings Bank to others to manage. However, this time I plan to let a Chinese executive serve as your deputy."

Chinese executive?

Except for Shen Yi, other cabinet members were a little surprised.

Obviously, they have guessed that this Chinese executive is likely to be the new boss of Barings Bank in the future, that is, to replace Shen Yi.

As for who this Chinese executive is?

They don't know.

Now in addition to the Chinese elites in the secretariat, there are also Chinese executives who have successfully entered the important circle of the Empire Group.

Including Xu Qingsheng, who is now the chairman of the Hong Kong United Stock Exchange, and Huo Jianning, deputy general manager of the Empire Group Cabinet, Li Jun, who is far away in Moscow and serves as the general manager of the Empire Group Moscow headquarters, and Zheng Haiquan, Yuan Tianfan, Li Huimin, Liang Botao, Liang Jinsong and other Chinese executives.

These people have stood out, and their abilities are not inferior to those of the current white executives.

Moreover, they can see that many of the future second-generation executives of the Empire Group may come from these Chinese elites.

"This Chinese executive will be recommended by the cabinet and the secretariat, and I will not interfere. In addition, Mr. Shen will decide on the final candidate."

In other words, the final choice is in Shen's hands.

If it is true as Sir Yang said that Barings Bank is a big bank in the future, then the position of Barings Bank's boss is naturally very important.

I am afraid that many Chinese executives will hope to be able to sit in this position at that time.

"In addition, I plan to move Barings Bank's headquarters from London to Hong Kong."

Move Barings Bank's headquarters to Hong Kong?

The cabinet members were a little surprised when they heard it.

Now the headquarters of Huifeng Bank, Jardine Matheson Bank, etc. are all in Hong Kong, and Yang Ming has basically stabilized Hong Kong's global financial status.

In history, Hong Kong's financial status was actually affected a lot when Huifeng Bank moved its headquarters from Hong Kong to London.

But now it is different.

The headquarters of Huifeng Bank has always been in Hong Kong. As long as he is the major shareholder of Huifeng Bank, he will never let Huifeng Bank move its headquarters to London.

The headquarters of Barings Bank has always been in London.

Now Yang Ming asked Barings Bank to move its headquarters to Hong Kong, which is also to further consolidate the position of Hong Kong finance.

In addition, it is also convenient for Yang Ming to manage this bank.

Although London is still known as the second largest financial center in the world, in fact, after years of development, London, the second largest financial center, has fallen behind Hong Kong.

Although Shen Yi did not agree to move the headquarters of Barings Bank to Hong Kong, he did not object.

Because he knew that if the headquarters of Barings Bank was in London, he would have to fly to London now.

When this matter was settled.

Yang Ming left Shen Yi, Mai Lisi, Ma Shimin, and Wei Li.

The others went back first.

Still in the study.

When Yang Ming handed Shen Yi the information about the internal crisis of Barings Bank that he believed more, Shen Yi was more and more surprised.

Now he finally understood why Sir Yang was able to swallow up the Barings Bank, which had a history of more than 200 years.

Because he knew that if there had not been such problems within the Barings Bank, the Barings family would never have sold it.

"Sir Yang, it seems that there are indeed big problems within the Barings Bank, especially this Leeson."

The wrong account made by Leeson has lost a lot of money.

The most important thing is that before Leeson was controlled, he continued to control this wrong account.

"Now Leeson has arrived in London, and he thought that after our Empire Group acquired the Barings Bank, we would really reuse him."

If Leeson was a smart man, he should know that something was wrong here, but he would immediately run back to Country M, and he would probably be fine.

However, it is different now. If the other party runs to London and is controlled, it will be difficult for the other party to run back to Country M.

"Regarding the situation of Leeson and others, Mr. Shen, you will go to London this time to deal with it. After that, you will return to Hong Kong."

"Yes, Sir Yang."

Shen did not stay any longer.

He also needs to look at the list of Chinese executives provided by the cabinet and the secretariat, and then select a suitable candidate from them.

After Shen Yi left.

Mai Lisi, Ma Shimin, and Wei Li are still here.

"Boss, whether it is Zheng Haiquan, Yuan Tianfan, Liang Botao, Liang Jinsong, or even Li Jun who is far away in Moscow, they are all capable. Of course, Li Jun is in Moscow and can't come back now, so he has no chance."

Li Jun is far away in Moscow dealing with the affairs of the new oligarchs in Goose Country, how could he come back.

As for Zheng Haiquan and others, they are now holding important positions, that is, they are very important executives of subsidiaries under the Empire Group.

As for whether the cabinet and the secretariat will provide these candidates at that time.

Yang Ming no longer thinks about it.

. . .

That night.

A villa halfway up the mountain on the Peak.

Shen Yi's home.

Shen Yi has already received a list of Chinese executives selected for him by the Empire Group's cabinet and secretariat.

From the list, these are all very promising professional managers.

Many of them are from finance.

Shen Yi is watching.

However, he has never met most of the people on the list, and the only ones he has met are Yuan Tianfan and others.

After seeing this, Shen Yi directly crossed out Yuan Tianfan and others.

Instead, he selected a Chinese executive elite who had not yet shown his face.

Gao Xiancheng.

A very typical name of a Hong Kong native.

Shen Yi checked the other party's information. The other party had studied in Europe and the United States for a long time. Later, he came back and joined the Wharf Group, which was first acquired by the Empire Group, and then promoted step by step.

Shen Yi mainly checked the other party's superiors, and did not have much relationship with other white executives.

In other words, he could use this person.
