Bank of East Asia 19 18 was established in Hong Kong, and 1920 set up a branch in Shanghai Bund. The founders are Li, Jian Dongpu, fung ping shan and others.
Li is from Heshan, Guangdong. When I was young, I did business with my father. I started from scratch and worked as an errand boy, bookkeeper, kitchen worker and broker. According to his own memory, during his growth from 13 to 18, he slept only 4 hours a day on average. Although his career grew bigger and bigger and he became one of the founders of the Bank of East Asia, he still adhered to the habit of thrift. The servant who takes care of his daily life once told a friend that his boss would often wear patched socks.
Jian Dongpu is from Shunde, Guangdong. I have studied in Japan, worked in two banks, Bank of Zheng Jin and World Bank 12 years, and am proficient in finance. After returning home, Jian Dongpu first set up a finance company with Li, fung ping shan and others, specializing in bank lending, and then reorganized the finance company. After development, the Bank of East Asia was formally established on 19 18. Jian Dongpu became a manager. His slogan for overseas Chinese businessmen is "Be a Bank of China".
In the first year after its establishment, the Bank of East Asia absorbed and deposited 4 million Hong Kong dollars, laying a capital foundation. At that time, commercial exchanges in Hong Kong were developed, and the amount of remittances and withdrawals from overseas Chinese was huge. Pu Jiandong fully develops foreign exchange deposit and loan business. At that time, the Bank of East Asia set up branches in Kowloon, Guangzhou, Hanoi, Vietnam and other places, and set up an East Asia branch in Shanghai Bund on 1920.
Because the Bank of East Asia has a well-run Jiandong Garden, it ranks 10 among the 27 important banks in China in the financial statistics of the Republic of China 1934. In addition, the total assets of overseas Chinese, ZTE and Guangdong banks account for 6.2% of the total number of banks in the country, and the net profit accounts for 5.8%.
Fung ping shan is from Xinhui, Guangdong. He provided the Bank of East Asia with huge funds and extensive human resources. His son married Jian Dongpu's daughter and formed a close relationship, which promoted the development of the Bank of East Asia.
The current chairman of the Board of Directors of the Bank of East Asia is Li's grandson. He was born in 19 19. He graduated from Cambridge University in England, majoring in economics and law, and then specialized in computer, making full preparations for hosting the Bank of East Asia. 1960s, Li Baoguo entered the Bank of East Asia, became familiar with the management business, and took over the power in 198 1 year. Li Baoguo, who received western education since childhood, is extremely open-minded, although he has China blood in his bones. After he took office, he slashed the shackles of the family management of the Bank of East Asia and recruited troops from outside the Li Zhai wall.
Since its establishment, the Bank of East Asia has set its own market goal, that is, to be a bank for China people, and the mainland is its important market. They have been waiting for their chance. 1979, they established the first Sino-foreign joint venture Beijing Aviation Food Co., Ltd. in China with China Civil Aviation Beijing Administration, Hong Kong Milk Company and Jamestown Investment Co., Ltd. Subsequently, Bank of East Asia became the first bank in the Mainland to launch credit card business and the first foreign bank to be allowed to operate electronic online banking business in the Mainland.
