The world's richest man Wang Yaocheng wants to acquire HSBC...
When the news came out, it caused thousands of waves.
As the world's oldest stock exchange and the undisputed financial center, the London Stock Exchange has the world's top group of traders with a highly keen sense of smell.
The huge HSBC bank surged 7.22% that day, and buying orders poured in, pushing the stock price higher.
On the same day, Royal Fund successively held up placards to announce that it had increased its holdings of HSBC shares to 28.7%, ranking it as the largest shareholder.
This news further encouraged the confidence of market participants. HSBC's stock price rose another 5.17% the next day, and the situation looked good.
The total increase in the three days was 12.4%, showing a beautiful rising flag shape, pushing the market value of HSBC to 15.811 billion pounds (24.84 billion US dollars, the pound to dollar ratio is 1:1.571).
While the world's important financial center is in turmoil, the man behind all this is preparing to leave.

Wang Yaocheng smiled and patted Du Bo, director of the investment department of Royal Family Fund;
"Lao Du, this time President Mo Yuxuan has no time to spare. It's up to you to personally take charge of the overall situation. I'll transfer Luo Qianjin and Pan Shiyi to you as assistants. This time it's an all-China team attack. In London, the world's financial center, as long as you can fight
If you win this tough battle, your reputation will be completely red."
"I don't dare to think so much. I just want to do what the chairman has asked me to do."
Wang Yaocheng; "Very well, think more about the difficulties. Royal Fund cannot mobilize more resources. You can only have 2 billion US dollars at most to use. Fortunately, we have already mastered the absolute advantage of equity. BlackRock Group is just
It’s just a desperate struggle. Time is on our side. We have been playing slowly with them in the past two years, but their investment department is full of talents and is very difficult to deal with.”
"The same is true for our investment department. There are many investment experts with resumes from Goldman Sachs, Merrill Lynch and Lehman Brothers, and they have rich practical experience. We are confident that we can fight this battle well." After the battle on Hong Kong Island, Du Bo
Now I have experienced it.
Wang Yaocheng; "Okay, then I'll be waiting for your good news."
"I wish the chairman a safe journey ahead and a long journey ahead."
"Hahaha……"
Wang Yaocheng smiled very happily. In the battle with BlackRock Group, Royal Fund had the absolute upper hand, holding 28.7% of the shares. The other party could only run away obediently.
This huge amount of equity can be turned into ample ammunition when necessary, allowing Royal Fund to firmly gain the upper hand.
He is determined to gain control of HSBC Bank and will use his strength to crush it.
With the shrewdness of BlackRock, it is impossible not to know that all allies are unreliable and will turn traitor in the face of interests. This is their real intention to continue to increase their stake in HSBC.
Rely on yourself as much as possible, and then recruit as many people as possible who act in concert to jointly fight against the invading barbarian royal family fund.
at this point
Much like Hong Kong's Kadoorie family at the Peninsula Hotel, they used 10% of the equity to contact a large number of small and medium-sized investors to choose sides, forcing out Liu Luanxiong, who owned 35% of the equity, and successfully defended control of the shares of the Hong Kong and Shanghai Hotel.
At the beginning, the Kadoorie family in Hong Kong also tried their best to raise funds to purchase more shares, and did not place their hopes entirely on others.
In the final equity vote, 1% more say may mean 100% final say.
The operation method of Royal Fund is very simple, sell high and buy low, and operate in a band. Wang Yaocheng gave them two years to obtain the controlling stake. In this case, it is not difficult to complete the task.
Taking a step back, it is not a big problem if we cannot complete the control of HSBC.
Because, Wang Yaocheng still has a trump card that he has not yet used.
It won't be long before the 1997 Asian financial crisis will sweep across Southeast Asia and Hong Kong. As the foundation of HSBC, HSBC cannot be immune to it alone.
When the time comes, haha! It will definitely make a comeback.
a few months later
Palm Beach, California, United States
A villa with beautiful surroundings
"Julia, are you crazy? You are hiding here alone to give birth to that man's child. You are a little princess in Hollywood, not a despicable prostitute on the street. This agent of yours is so useless, just let him
Get out of here." Eric was absolutely furious.
He is the brother of Julia Roberts and a third-tier actor in Hollywood. When Julia Roberts debuted, she played her first casual role in the movie "Blood Red" with the help of her brother Eric.
"Well, not everyone can give birth to a child for the world's richest man. At least he is much better than that bastard Kiefer. You don't need to be so excited Eric." Sister Lisa Roberts held a beautiful pink baby in her arms.
; "Look, how cute he is."
This mixed-race baby, who is only two months old, is very beautiful. It has two big, bright, moist eyes, a straight nose, and a head of soft black hair. It is babbling and trying to grab something with its little hands.
This mixed-race baby has black hair and black eyes, but has a clear European facial contour. He has inherited the excellent genes of his parents and is as beautiful as a doll.
"He's hungry Lisa, give me the baby."
Julia Roberts is fatter than before, her face glows with a healthy rosy glow, and is filled with the loving radiance of a young mother.
Lisa Roberts carefully handed the child to Julia Roberts, watched her nurse the child tenderly, and sighed slightly;
"You should tell the boss that this is his child."
"I don't want to tie him down with children. Our relationship is open and unrestricted. I think this is good."
Eric was really going crazy; "Julia, do you want to be like Helena Bonham Carter, who has been fooling around with that bastard director Tim Burton for more than ten years, and they pretended to buy a house each to be neighbors?"
, play friendship in my spare time, that woman is crazy, they already have three children, ah! God, I really can’t believe that this kind of thing will happen in our family.”
At this time, Mr. Piece, the acc agent, came in from the outside and greeted everyone proactively: "Hi, it looks like you all look good. At least you still have the energy to quarrel."
Eric immediately got angry; "Damn Piece, you are such an incompetent agent, how could you let this happen?"
"Why not?"
Piece's answer made Eric choke immediately; "Don't perform in front of me, Eric. The whole Hollywood knows what kind of scum you are. How many women have been dumped by you, 100."
Or 200?
You won't even pay a dollar to the women who perform dangerous abortions for you, leaving them to suffer physical and mental torture.
Now, he has come here to be a good person and guide the lost sheep.
I took Julia with me and regarded her as my own daughter. She was definitely more responsible than you, the elder brother.
Julia gave birth to a child for the boss king. I think this child is the luckiest in the world, because he is destined to be rich and prosperous for life. We only pursue the results and not the process.
This child is destined to inherit part of the boss king's huge business empire. Even if it is just a little bit, it is a huge wealth of more than 10 billion US dollars, which is far beyond your imagination.
Looking around the world, such lucky people are rare. Julia will also be rich and prosperous for the rest of her life because of this child. This is a very good destination, isn't it?
What's more, since they think it's appropriate, then it's OK and you don't need to say anything."
Eric's face turned green and red as he was told by the other party, and he pointed angrily at Piece; "You greedy bastard, how dare you sow discord between me and my sister. I know you are doing it for the boss king's money..."
…”
The loud quarrel between the two men made the nursing child cry loudly in fear. Julia Roberts lowered her head and cried silently without saying a word.
At this time, two bodyguards rushed in from outside and took Eric out like a chicken.
Eric's loud roar can still be heard; "I will not let that bastard go, never! He will pay the price for his actions..."
Julia Roberts does not have a good relationship with her brother, and Eric has a violent personality. He once beat his live-in girlfriend to serious injury. For this, he was charged with serious injury by the prosecutor, and he is still in a lot of trouble.
Eric had his own purpose in coming this time;
He wanted his sister to fire her agent, Piece, and recommended himself to be Julia Roberts' agent, guaranteeing that he would be 100 times more powerful than that idiot.
When you are poor in a busy city, you have no one to care about you; when you are rich in the mountains, you have distant relatives.
Whether at home or abroad, this is always a wise saying.
Celebrities also have their own troubles, that is, there are always a group of worried relatives and friends around them.
In the sports world, whether it is the North American Professional Baseball League or the NBA Basketball League, the phenomenon of taking advantage of the big players is common.
Old black players and stars who grew up in the slums often bring their brothers to enjoy the big contracts and live a luxurious life. After retiring, they soon go bankrupt. This situation is common.
For example ~ "Rain Man" Kemp, "Big Bug" Rodman, "Answer" Allen Iverson, Anthony Walker...
A large group of people followed behind to eat and drink, and the huge income was spent like water. This seemed to have become a routine.
Otherwise, if you alienate the guys from the slums, you will be scolded by the old black brothers on the street;
"I also have a share of this money. You ungrateful son of a bitch, you forgot who helped you on the street, and you offended the ruthless people from the Blood Gang."
"Fuck you, I took you with me to steal the car."
"Don't make me angry, kid, I will be a tainted witness for the police, and you can just play ball in jail for the rest of your life."
"Hey, let's help you spend money together."
Hollywood white guys are slightly better, but it's impossible to completely avoid them.
Therefore, many Hollywood stars are managed by their parents and sisters, in order to give them a share of the business and reduce unnecessary criticism.
As we all know, the United States is a country with heavy taxes, and every year multi-millionaires have to reluctantly donate half of their income.
This is also the reason why Americans confidently say that they are taxpayers. This often works well, even in front of governors and even generals.
According to tax laws, those with an annual salary of more than $432,000 must pay a federal tax of up to 39.6%. In addition, states also charge taxes with varying tax rates every year, mostly between 6% and 9%.
Hollywood's third-tier stars and above basically meet the maximum tax provisions, and agents' commissions are also a considerable expense.
Instead of earning this money for the brokerage company, it is better to benefit your relatives and brothers. This is the reason.
Today, Eric is here for this purpose.
Not to mention anything else, Julia Roberts' agent easily earns millions a year. If she finds out some secrets and publishes them, she can easily earn millions.
The boss king is so rich, and the hush money he gives you should be tens of millions of dollars, which is much better than the miserable little actor.

Julia Roberts gently coaxed the baby and let the baby nurse quietly; "Is he gone?"
"Let's go, but we can't handle this anymore. We must ask the boss king for help."
Agent Piece looked out the window, drew the curtains again, and said worriedly, "Eric will never give up. We can't live here anymore. We must move out as soon as possible."
Lisa Roberts echoed; "Yes! The boss king is a big shot, and he has a way to solve these troubles easily."
After hearing the two people's persuasion, Julia Roberts was so confused that she had no choice but to nod.
