Chinese banking giant Bank of China is looking at a potential bid for UK lender HBOS, BBC business editor Robert Peston has reported. He added that Bank of China's interest was "at a pretty early stage", and it was unlikely any formal bid would result. Bank of China is in early talks with UK businessman Jim Spowart and investment firm European American Capital. HBOS is in the process of being taken over by fellow UK lender Lloyds TSB. Job loss fears Lloyds said last week that its acquisition of HBOS will lead to annual cost savings of at least £1.5bn, leading to fears of heavy job losses. It has not said how many jobs will be cut, but said there was scope for "significant cost savings" from combing the branches and back offices of the two organisations. Together the two firms currently employ 140,000 people. The banks have detailed plans to raise up to £17bn as part of the government's bail-out plan for the UK banking sector. HBOS last week rejected a call from two former bank chiefs that they be appointed heads of the firm and keep it independent. The offer came from Sir Peter Burt, the former chief executive of Bank of Scotland before its 2001 merger with Halifax to create HBOS, and Sir George Mathewson, ex-head of the Royal Bank of Scotland
中国银行业巨头中国银行考虑投标英国贷方银行HBOS的可能性，BBC商业编辑Robert Peston报道。
他说，中国的兴趣处于初级阶段，还不大可能正式投标。
中国银行和英国商业人士Jim Spowart与投资银行European American Capital正进行初期交流。
HBOS正被兄弟银行Lloyds TSB收购。
失业担忧
Lloyds上周表示收购HBOS可以每年至少可以节约15亿英镑，这引起了人们对大面积失业的恐慌。
目前削减多上岗位仍然未知。但据说通过整理这两个组织支公司和后勤公司将有极大节约开支的空间。
两件公司目前共有雇员140000人。
银行有详细计划筹集170亿英镑作为英国政府收购银行部门计划的一部分。
上周，HBOS拒绝了两位前执行官要求为人他们为公司头目，并保持公司独立的呼吁。
该提议源于前苏格拉银行CEO Peter Burt（苏格兰银行与2001年与哈利法克斯银行合并成现今的HBOS）和苏格兰皇家银行前头目，George Mathewson。
