To say that the shareholders' meeting held in advance of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange this year has attracted much attention is a bit exaggerated. It has nothing to do with ordinary people. But to say that no one pays attention to it is even more nonsense.
In addition to Mi Ying, the Greater China heads of major financial companies, many people in the business circles in the mainland, Hong Kong Island, and Southeast Asia are paying attention to the voting for board seats.
The grudge between Mr. Jing of the Phoenix Group and Lenny Mellon, a third-generation descendant of the Mellon Group, a long-established American conglomerate, has long been spread.
For Jing Gao, if he loses this board seat, it means that his influence on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange will disappear.
For Jing Gao, this will weaken his status in the domestic business community. Many people now tolerate Phoenix Fund’s harsh venture capital conditions in order to make it easier to go public on Hong Kong Island. If this channel is lost, Phoenix Group will
Be lame!
At the same time, the loss of this seat on the board of directors of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange also means that Jing Gao failed in the contest with Lenny Mellon! It will affect the position of many people. Next, the 8.7% of the shares of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange he holds
What a fart!
Billions of dollars were lost!
It has to be said that this was a move that Lanny Mellon hated very much. After he failed to seduce Zuo Hao, the former CEO of Phoenix Fund, he directly showed his trump card and fought with Jing Gao.
Face is one thing, but there are also benefits! Jing Gao's loss will be their gain! Think about it, if the stocks in Jing Gao's hands are useless, will he sell them? Otherwise, how would he operate this thing?
Hong Kong Island, Central. Li Jiacheng's office on the 70th floor of the Cheung Kong Group Center Building.
He has now handed over his business to his son, but the general direction still needs to be controlled. He still comes to this office to work every day.
At this time, he asked his assistant to put down all meetings and phone calls and wait in the office exclusively for the results.
At this time, his eldest son Li Zeju was also waiting for the results in the office downstairs, and the two people's internal calls were connected.
"Dad, Carlos Bellman's vote rate is 25.6%. The Mellon Group is still very powerful." Of course the Li family has shares in the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. They also sent agents to attend this shareholders' meeting.
The on-site voting and counting process will be transmitted to him in real time.
Li Jiacheng hunched his back. He was old now, but he still did not give up his power in business. He warned his son: "Victor, don't think so. There is no eternal consortium. Business is business, and the essence of business is profit.
Rather than looking at the background.”
Li Zeju was taught, "Daddy, I understand." But another question came to mind: before the start of today's shareholders' meeting, the mainstream opinions of the think tanks around him were unanimous: Jing Gao will definitely lose.
Because the main controller of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, the Hong Kong government, plus the thirteen major secondary controllers, together account for nearly 90% of the shares of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. The number of circulating shares on the market exceeds the 10% required by law.
And with the energy of the Bank of New York where Lenny Mellon worked, he roped in Miying's financial companies to vote. This was a sure way to kill Jing Gao.
Of course, the think tanks proposed a very unlikely thing: buy a ticket!
How can Lanny Mellon be able to unite most of the other twelve secondary controllers, excluding the two main controllers of the Hong Kong government and Jiuge Capital?
Is it because of his surname "Mellon"?
You are just talking nonsense!
Do you know that financial giants on Wall Street such as Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley and other companies are so ruthless that they will kill their own people! Just because you have a last name, you want others to give up their interests and follow you? Even America’s top leaders can’t do this.
.
Therefore, the conclusion is very simple. Lenny Mellon must have paid benefits and promised benefits in order to unite to obtain a majority vote.
So the question is, can Jinggao do something similar? If you want to acquire enough shares of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange before this shareholders' meeting, let alone legal issues, it's just an economic issue: Who do you want to buy it from?
Those twelve secondary controlled entities are not for sale! Only small shareholders like the Blackett family are left with some shares hanging around outside.
So there is a high probability that Jing Gao will have to buy a ticket.
However, judging from the connections of all parties and the analysis of the results, there is a high probability that Jing Gao will not be able to buy enough votes. He is a newbie, how can he have connections like that of an established family? He can't find a temple even if he burns incense.
Sometimes, money is not as good as favor! And favor takes time to develop.
Li Zeju's business style is very calm and pragmatic. He was scolded by his father within a few seconds. He immediately remembered this small probability event, but he did not tell his father about it.
Let’s wait and see the voting results!
In any case, the Li family did not rush to the front this time. Lenny Mellon, the executive director of the Greater China Region of the Bank of New York, jumped the highest.
…
…
Hong Kong Island, Stanley.
Jing Gao is also paying attention to the voting in the morning. However, his place is not as deserted as the Li family and his son deliberately did not stay in an office to avoid suspicion. There are many people here waiting for news.
Da Guo and Xiao Guo are taking care of old relationships in Nanyang at the Shangri-La Hotel. Wu Jingshu from Jiuge Capital and Wei Chenjun from Morningside Bank are both here at Jinggao. Wu Jingshu wants to deliver timely news to Jinggao.
Jiuge Capital is the thirteenth secondary controlled entity of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange approved by the Hong Kong government. Today’s nominations of Michael Kadoorie were all proposed by Jiuge Capital.
And Wei Chenjun, a plump and sexy thirty-three-year-old beauty with a beautiful nose and almond-shaped eyes, simply wanted to accompany Jing Gao, encourage and comfort him.
Dugu Jing and Jing Shufeng were also waiting for instructions at the villa, which actually served as a channel for information gathering and distribution. For such a big matter, the executives of Phoenix and Taichu Group would definitely pay attention. But that's not the case.
Anyone has the courage to call Jing Gao's personal cell phone directly to ask about this matter.
Since Jing Gao handed over the legal person and chairman of the Phoenix Group to An Zhiwen, he has had less control over the group's strategy. But his authority has grown day by day! The senior executives below are a little afraid. The phone calls he made are concerned.
Those who did this are An Zhiwen, Guan Yujia, Liu Sumei, An Xiaoqian, Tang Xuan and others.
Jun Zi, who is responsible for security, is Jing Gao's closest subordinate.
In fact, Jing Gao was not nervous at all. He had talked with Tan Yunqiu and Cao Zhuang who had come to Hong Kong Island to report on their work all morning.
There is a gluttonous feast in Jinling! Fuzhong Group is under government custody and is negotiating a distribution plan for creditors. Cao Zhuang came to report on the results of the carve-up and the next direction of Tianyan Capital's operations. He needs to rely on Jing Gao's prestige to be able to
Can suppress internal disputes.
At the same time, he brought Zhou Nanman's biological daughter, Song Zhiqiu, to Hong Kong Island. Jinling had been in chaos recently, so Mr. Jing asked him to bring her here. Mainly because Zhou Nanman was worried, so Jing Gao gave the order. Zhou Nanman brought him a big benefit.
Of course, not on the matter of board seats on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange.
Tan Yunqiu came to report on the preparation of the short video software. She brought Fu Yaoyao.
"Zhou Nanman and Song Yingxia are on vacation in Bangkok. They went there years ago. Lingyu helped me build a large manor there. Hong Kong Island is also a whirlpool!"
The weather in Hong Kong Island in February is very comfortable. A group of people were chatting in the garden of the villa. Jing Gao explained casually.
Tan Yunqiu covered his mouth and smiled softly, his eyes gleaming with awe. Anyone who is familiar with Jing Gao will feel that there is something wrong with this explanation.
Naturally, Cao Zhuang did not dare to ask any more questions. Mr. Jing's assistant had already arranged for Song Zhiqiu to send a private plane to Bangkok after she had lunch.
Jing Gao shook his head with a smile and took a sip of tea. He did not explain the specific reason.
Wei Chenjun sat next to Jing Gao, drinking tea dignifiedly and quietly.
At this time, Wu Jingshu walked over quickly with a mobile phone in his hand, "Mr. Jing, the vote has passed!"
Jing Gao smiled and nodded, stood up, stretched his arms slightly, and looked at the blue sky and white clouds on the horizon, slightly lost in thought. The clouds were rolling in the sky, and he was not surprised!
Looking back, he saw that everyone in the garden was looking at him eagerly, and smiled slightly: "Jingshu, please spread the news!"
