“In 2002, the global banking industry welcomed a super banking group that is number one in Africa, 14th in Asia, and 16th in the Americas, surpassing the Commonwealth Bank of Australia and ranking 25th globally!”
"... After Standard Chartered Bank underwent equity restructuring and was relisted on the Hong Kong and London stock exchanges, its stock price also rose. As of January 25, 2001, Standard Chartered Bank, with a total share capital of 1 billion, was listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange.
The share price has risen to HK$6 per share, compared with £59 per share on the London Stock Exchange!”
"...But compared to this super banking group, which has a market capitalization of US$54.7 billion and whose stock price is still rising steadily, we are more curious about the controller behind it!... In the list of shareholders of Standard Chartered Bank, in addition to
Apart from the large number of public investors and investment institutions that hold small shares, there are three that attract the most attention. They are Hanhua Bank Group from Hong Kong; Dingsheng Fund, which is registered in the Cayman Islands and headquartered on Wall Street; and
Dong Liu from China! They hold 26%, 33% and 9% of the shares of Standard Chartered Bank Group respectively!"
"After our investigation, we found that this bank with such a familiar name from Hong Kong has nothing to do with Hanhua Industrial Bank, which was acquired by JPMorgan Chase Bank at the end of the last century. Its predecessor was Chuang Hing controlled by Hong Kong's local wealthy family, the Liu family.
bank."
"But in December last year, Chong Hing Bank was fully acquired and delisted from the Hong Kong Stock Exchange and changed to Hanhua Bank Group. Within half a month, it acquired Zhejiang-Zhejiang Bank from Japan's Ruizhi Group.
All shares of Jiang First Bank, thus becoming a medium-sized bank with 113 branches!"
"In addition, we have reason to believe that Hanhua Bank's equity in Standard Chartered Bank comes from the three white knights Qiu Teck Puat and the Bao family who saved Standard Chartered Bank from being acquired by Lloyds Bank at the end of the last century.
.and Australian property tycoon Robert!”
"It's just that this time around, the three white knights didn't help like they did last time!"
"...Now this large bank, Hanhua Bank Group, which is located in Hong Kong and has risen rapidly in the past two months, with total assets exceeding US$35 billion, has become the ninth most powerful financial force in the world. Any business community and
Politicians should pay close attention to it, but unfortunately we don’t know anything about the people behind the rapidly rising Eastern Bank Group!”
"But what is certain is that it is a real private bank and has no connection with the Chinese government in the Far East!"
"Compared to Hanwha Bank Group in Hong Kong, which has relatively well-established records, Dingsheng Fund Investment Bank registered in the Cayman Islands seems to be more mysterious. Last October, news of the 9.11 terrorist attacks and the war in Afghanistan occupied almost all media in the United States.
The headlines. Whether it is TV, newspapers, even radio and the Internet. So no one cares about the offshore company in the Cayman Islands registered by David Coleman, even though he was once a global manager of Morgan Stanley.
Vice president, president of the investment management department, and has an enviable brilliant resume and experience in the financial field, but as the world's largest concentration of wealth, Wall Street is in short supply of investment geniuses!"
"But what everyone didn't expect was that David Coleman, who had just left Morgan Stanley, the world's largest investment bank, quickly returned to the public eye in another way. Now he is no longer 'Mogul Morgan'
eo James Gorman’s deputy, but on an equal footing with the other party as a boss.”
"Although everyone believes that there is a more powerful financial force behind David Coleman. But without getting any relevant information, we can only judge from David Coleman.
This emerging large-scale investment bank, which controls 33% of the shares of Standard Chartered Bank, controls the stocks of many listed companies, and has joined the boards of Internet companies such as Amazon, eBay, and Yahoo, and has assets of more than 18.5 billion U.S. dollars, will act in the future capital market! Believe in it
It will bring more surprises to everyone!”
"... If I was just surprised by the appearance of Hanhua Bank Group and Dingsheng Fund, then I was shocked to see the name of an Easterner on the shareholder list of Standard Chartered Bank. Because he has no connection with any known
The Chinese tycoon had nothing to do with him, even two years ago. He was just an ordinary young man setting up a street stall in the flea market of Quancheng, a second-tier city in Eastern China, working hard for his future. But less than two years later
, the counterparty has risen rapidly at a speed that shocked everyone, from an ordinary person with perhaps less than 20,000 US dollars in bank deposits to the owner of three large-scale enterprise groups with assets of over 1 billion US dollars, and the other party also has standards
Standard Chartered Bank’s 9% stake is a huge asset worth US$5 billion!”
"We have reason to believe that if the other party is willing to let the three groups in his hands go public, Forbes will consider adding a new friend from the East to the top 10 of the world's richest people!"
"And what's interesting is that this super-rich man named Liu Dong from Eastern China holds the 'Presidential Medal of Freedom' awarded by the United States of America! Because in the super disaster that almost destroyed the entire United States last year, he defeated at least 9 people
A Taliban gangster, and piloted a hijacked Boeing 747 to successfully make an emergency landing in the desert 80 kilometers outside Phoenix, and successfully rescued 213 Americans! God testifies, I like this Chinese! And every American should be grateful
He, especially the government, because if it weren't for this heroic knight from the east, maybe we wouldn't be able to see the American brain White House in Washington, D.C.! I can't imagine what would happen to the United States without its brain, the stock market plummeted,
Factories closed down in large numbers, unemployment surged, and there were even more wars. Thank God, this terrible scene did not happen!"
"Of course, I like this Chinese, and I am even grateful to him for saving the entire United States of America. At the same time, as a man, I am also deeply jealous of him, because it only took him less than two years to make himself successful.
An ordinary person has become a super rich man with a net worth of tens of billions of dollars. This is an achievement that even Bill Gates, who was originally known as the 'Son of God', has never achieved!"
"Although he is only a high school student and has not even obtained a high school diploma, his business talent is undoubted! Maybe in ten years, we will see a wealth competitor from the East. I have enough
There is reason to believe that the top three on the Forbes rich list will be replaced by a Chinese name Liu Dong!"
"In addition, beauties all over the world are blessed. Our new super rich man is still a young man who is only 22 years old, and he is not married. If anyone can get Liu's 'heart', then she will have no food and clothing for the rest of her life.
Worry, and jump into the upper class society!"
Liu Dong glanced at the last paragraph, which was slightly ridiculing, and looked at the signature at the end of the article, Moore Caris, a name he had never heard of before. He turned two pages back and saw that the news was not of interest to him.
Finally, Liu Dong closed the page and put the magazine aside!
Although "Times" investigated in detail, they did not know many things, such as the equity of Standard Chartered Bank! After some mergers, Liu Dong's direct or indirect control of the new bank's shares has reached 83.27%, accounting for an absolute
controlling interest!
In addition to what was revealed by Time Magazine, the remaining 15.27% of the shares were dispersed by Liu Dong in the hands of Bank of America, Darren Group, Cody Mining Group, IQ Instant Messaging Company, these absolute holding companies.
, each company’s shares do not exceed 5%, so they are not outstanding. In addition, because they are not listed, they are not eye-catching!
Although voluntarily exposing the 9% equity has brought some attention to Liu Dong himself, he understands that the best way to hide something is not to completely remove himself, but to put it in a seemingly reasonable glass cover.
, true and false are the most difficult to distinguish.
And properly exposing some of his strength will make it easier for him to act in the future!
However, what makes Liu Dong even more delighted is that his hard planning finally paid off. He invested 15 billion US dollars and owed a huge debt of 10.7 billion US dollars to the Rockefeller family. Now it seems that it was all worth it!
After a lot of hard work, he finally took control of a super bank with total assets of more than 400 billion US dollars!
And now Standard Chartered Bank’s shareholders’ equity has reached US$54.7 billion, and Liu Dong controls 83.27% of the equity, which is US$45.55 billion!
This means that after deducting the loans provided by the Rockefeller family, Liu Dong's wealth increased by 34.85 billion US dollars in an instant! Although these are stocks, they are also real wealth!
As long as Liu Dong is willing, he can cash out from the stock market after the stock price of Standard Chartered Bank stabilizes!
Of course, Liu Dong was originally prepared to do this. For him, the role of Standard Chartered Bank is more to provide financial support. It is enough to maintain a controlling stake. There is no need to maintain a controlling stake like American Commercial Bank and Hanhua Bank Group.
Absolute holding!
"By the way, I told you the good news, what's the bad news?" After reacting, Liu Dong turned around and asked.
"I'm afraid it will be difficult to complete the investment you plan to make in Jinzhong City!"
With that said, Lin Ling handed over a document again, and the content of the document was the investigation report provided by Hanhua Securities' asset appraisers, lawyers and investment and merger personnel, as well as their respective opinions after the first round of negotiations with the Jinzhong Municipal Government.
