"Director Wu wants to acquire Standard Chartered Bank?" Gao Jinbao looked at Wu Jianye in surprise. Just now Wu Jianye told him that Yaoguang Group was planning to acquire Standard Chartered Bank?
At this time, although Standard Chartered Bank has gradually fallen behind in the banking industry, it is still the third largest banking consortium in Hong Kong. In particular, Standard Chartered Bank has the same right to issue banknotes in Hong Kong as HSBC. At this time, Bank of China in Hong Kong does not have this
It was not until 1992 that Hong Kong Bank of China applied for this right, and it was not until 1994 that Bank of China officially had this right!
However, although Standard Chartered Bank has the right to issue banknotes, its development in Hong Kong has been severely suppressed by HSBC, and its development has not been as rapid as HSBC.
This is why Standard Chartered Bank has become the target of many foreign banks wanting to annex it.
Wu Jianye nodded and said bluntly: "Our Yaoguang Group has acquired 15% of the equity of Standard Chartered Bank from the chartering king. Next, we will issue a formal acquisition of Standard Chartered Bank."
Gao Jinbao looked at Wu Jianye dumbly. At this time, he only had four words to evaluate Wu Jianye's strength: bottomless!
He had just become Land's largest shareholder, and then spent 5 billion Hong Kong dollars to rescue the market. Now he is interested in Standard Chartered Bank.
"Director Wu, do you know the current strength of Standard Chartered Bank?"
Now Gao Jinbao really suspects that Wu Jianye was dazzled by a series of victories and came up with this idea.
Wu Jianye smiled and said: "Of course..."
Standard Chartered Bank was one of the first British banks to enter Hong Kong. It was headquartered in London. When it first entered Hong Kong, it was translated as Hua Xia Credit Union Bank of India. However, in 1911, the name was changed to Standard Chartered Bank of Xin Jinshan Hua Xia Bank of India.
, referred to as Standard Chartered Bank. In 1969, Standard Bank merged with Standard Chartered Bank to form Standard Chartered Stock Listed Company. After the merger of the two banks, its branches spread across Europe, Argentina, Canada, Panama, Nepal and the United States. At the same time, Standard Chartered Bank also acquired
The United Bank of California in the United States took this opportunity to enter Brazil and Venezuela."
However, most of Standard Chartered Bank's business is in Xiangjiang. Xiangjiang's business accounts for more than 70% of Standard Chartered Bank. At the same time, Standard Chartered Bank is also one of the note-issuing banks in Xiangjiang. It currently has 11 branches in Xiangjiang and the number of deposits should be 60 billion.
Around the Hong Kong dollar, since Standard Chartered Bank is a publicly listed company and does not have a major family shareholder, the largest shareholder of Standard Chartered Bank is Ryan Henderson, holding 12.3% of the shares. At the same time, Ryan Henderson is still the current Taipan of Standard Chartered Bank and the head of Standard Chartered Bank.
The market capitalization is approximately HK$14 billion, ranking 99th among the top 100 banks in the world this year...
Facing Wu Jianye's talk, Gao Jinbao couldn't help but sigh, Wu Jianye might really want to acquire Standard Chartered Bank.
Thinking that if this matter is exposed, Yaoguang Group will officially become one of the largest financial groups in Hong Kong.
It is even the largest financial group in Hong Kong under HSBC!
Sitting on the two major consortiums of Land and Standard Chartered Bank, if it is not the number one in Hong Kong, then there is really no one who will be the number one!
But then Gao Jinbao suddenly couldn't hide his excitement and looked at Wu Jianye, thinking of the cooperation Wu Jianye just said...
"Then Director Wu invited Gao to come over this time because..."
“In inviting Mr. Gao here this time, we hope to reach cooperation with Bank of China Hong Kong and jointly manage Standard Chartered Bank!”
Gao Jinbao first smiled excitedly, and then showed a hint of embarrassment: "Director Wu, if you and I join hands to acquire Standard Chartered Bank, then the British and Hong Kong governments will take action."
Wu Jianye waved his hand and said: "Don't worry, Mr. Gao, Yaoguang Group's goal is to fully acquire Standard Chartered Bank. After this goal is completed, you and I will be discussing specific cooperation matters!"
Gao Jinbao looked at Wu Jianye in shock. He did not expect that Wu Jianye wanted to fully acquire Standard Chartered Bank. If Wu Jianye succeeded, the funds involved would reach nearly 20 billion.
Hong Kong dollar.
As the president of Bank of China in Hong Kong, Gao Jinbao naturally knows how much money Wu Jianye spent during this period.
It cost HK$0.0 billion to acquire Jardine Matheson Land's shares, Huang Tingfang spent HK$769 million for Land's shares, and Chinese Real Estate spent HK$400 million for Land's shares. At the same time, it lent Liu Luanxiong HK$500 million, and then what was just announced
From Li Chaoren and others, he spent another 100 million Hong Kong dollars to acquire their shares in Land.
At the same time, he announced a bailout and invested another HK$5 billion in the Hong Kong stock market!
This is already HK$15.469 billion!
Now it has been announced that it will fully acquire Standard Chartered Bank, which has a market capitalization of 14 billion. Gao Jinbao cannot help but be shocked!
If Gao Jinbao knew that Wu Jianye had actually acquired 15% of the shares from Charter King for 127 million pounds, Gao Jinbao would definitely be even more shocked.
Gao Jinbao was very interested in the cooperation proposed by Wu Jianye, and the early operations were all handled by Wu Jianye, which made him even more satisfied.
Facing the British and Hong Kong government, it was naturally easier than facing Wu Jianye.
Then the two sides started a discussion on the proportion of their respective shareholdings in Standard Chartered Bank. After the discussion began, the two sides just disappeared, almost to the nearest decimal point.
In the end, Wu Jianye agreed that if the acquisition of Standard Chartered Bank came to fruition, Bank of China could purchase 30% of the shares of Standard Chartered Bank at 70% of the average price at which Wu Jianye acquired Standard Chartered Bank shares. At the same time, Bank of China in Hong Kong would also officially become a member of Standard Chartered Bank.
Enter the domestic market and contribute...
.......
Last year, the British bank Lloyds wanted to forcibly acquire Standard Chartered Bank. As a result, the chartering king, Qiu Deba, and Australian businessman Robert Holmes jointly invested in the acquisition of 37% of the shares of Standard Chartered Bank. Now the chartering king holds 15% of the shares.
% shares of Standard Chartered Bank have been bought by Wu Jianye.
Wu Jianye will then discuss with Qiu Deba his shares in Standard Chartered Bank!
In fact, when they acquired the shares of Standard Chartered Bank, Qiu Deba had the opportunity to become the chairman of the board of directors of Standard Chartered Bank. However, not long after the three of them acquired the shares of Standard Chartered Bank, a fraud scandal was exposed in a bank in Brunei and Qiu Deba missed the opportunity.
As the chairman of the board of directors of Standard Chartered Bank, he will only enjoy the right to dividends from the shares in his hands, but he is not allowed to participate in the management of Standard Chartered Bank.
This is another reason why the charter king cannot really control Standard Chartered Bank....
The meeting with Qiu Debat did not go smoothly. Although Qiu Debat could not participate in the management of Standard Chartered Bank, the status of Standard Chartered Bank in Hong Kong indicates that as long as there are no general mistakes in Standard Chartered Bank's operations, it will be successful.
It will always bring generous dividends to Qiu Deba.
But Wu Jianye naturally couldn't give up so easily. At this time, Wu Jianye was too lazy to use some commercial means to force Qiu Deba, such as attacking Qiu Deba's lair, which would only make Wu Jianye
There is an opposition between Jian Ye and Qiu Deba.
Wu Jianye is doing business, not setting up opponents for himself.
However, in the face of absolute strength, Qiu Deba had no choice but to obey. As for Wu Jianye's method, he told Qiu Deba that now he was the largest shareholder of Standard Chartered Bank. If Qiu Deba did not take control of his
If the shares are transferred to him, then Wu Jianye, as the largest shareholder of Standard Chartered Bank, will convene a board meeting to announce the decision to raise funds for rights issues.
When the time comes, everyone will work hard...
In the face of absolute strength, Qiu Deba was defeated. In the end, Wu Jianye acquired Qiu Deba's 13.5% stake in Standard Chartered Bank at a price of HK$2.26 billion, a 20% premium to Standard Chartered Bank's share price!
Then there is .5% of Standard Chartered Bank shares in the hands of Australian businessman Robert Holmes!
Robert Holmes suffered heavy losses in the stock market crash, and now he is in dire straits. Wu Jianye's appearance did not hesitate to provide help in times of need, so the two parties soon reached an agreement. Wu Jianye paid 1.309 billion at a 10% premium to Standard Chartered Bank's stock price.
He acquired .5% of Standard Chartered Bank’s shares at the price of Hong Kong dollars!
Since then, Yaoguang Group has become the largest shareholder of Standard Chartered Bank!
The last day of October!
Shanhai Investment held a press conference in Xiangjiang for the first time, and Zhou Tao attended the press conference as the representative!
When Zhou Tao announced that Shanhai Investment had become the largest shareholder of Standard Chartered Bank, he formally proposed to convene an interim board meeting of Standard Chartered Bank to re-discuss the issue of the board of directors of Standard Chartered Bank.
One stone stirs up a thousand waves!
No one expected that Yaoguang Group, which had just become the largest shareholder of Land, would suddenly become the largest shareholder of Standard Chartered Bank again!
At this moment, Yaoguang Group has become the most dazzling star in the Hong Kong business community!
none of them!
Zhou Tao even represented Yaoguang Group in the acquisition of Land and Standard Chartered Bank twice, and was invited by the American "Fortune" magazine, hoping to interview him!
Just when everyone thought Zhou Tao must be excited and celebrating.
Zhou Tao was actually complaining to Wu Jianye!
"Managing Tunan Technology is already busy enough, but now coupled with Land's management reform and the infiltration of Standard Chartered Bank's management, you are going to be exhausted!"
Wu Jianye chuckled: "Those who can do more work, but compared to Land, it will be easier for Standard Chartered Bank. Standard Chartered Bank can let it go first. Now we are the largest shareholder of Standard Chartered Bank, Ryan Hende
Sen will definitely take action. You just need to keep an eye on him. When Awen finishes integrating the resources of the listed company he is acquiring, he will go to Standard Chartered Bank to help you. At the same time, Bank of China has also agreed.
Send a professional management team to help.”
"What you have to do this year is to keep an eye on Ryan Henderson and the management team of Bank of China Hong Kong. Waiting until one year later will be the best time to completely acquire Standard Chartered Bank!"
Whether it is Land or Standard Chartered Bank, it is not easy to achieve complete control. It must be accomplished through careful planning and maneuvering. Therefore, Wu Jianye is not too anxious. His strong strength can make him in no way
Acquired these two consortiums without any scruples.
But the management of details is more of a test of skill, but Wu Jianye just left these matters to Zhou Tao and Yan Wen.
In fact, this was something Wu Jianye had no choice about. There were too few people he could trust, so he could only squeeze Zhou Tao and Yan Wen's abilities to an unlimited extent.
Despite Zhou Tao's constant complaints, Yanwen still faithfully followed Wu Jianye's orders!
"Are you ready to return to China?" When Zhou Tao saw Wu Jianye starting to explain things about Xiangjiang, he knew that Wu Jianye's time in Xiangjiang was running out!
"Well, if nothing else happens, I will return to China tomorrow!" Wu Jianye said.
"I really don't understand you, you are so rich and you still want to make movies and suffer that!" Zhou Tao muttered.
Wu Jianye smiled: "Everyone has to have their own hobbies. As you said, I am already so rich. If I can't live by my own hobbies, then what should I do with so much money?
?”
Zhou Tao nodded: "Okay, I can't defeat you anyway!"
Wu Jianye thought for a while and asked: "How is your wife's consideration? Didn't she say she wants to start her own business?"
Zhou Tao said: "I have already thought about it and am ready to follow your advice and start a hotel business in China!"
Wu Jianye smiled and asked: "Have you chosen which city?"
"Let's go to Pengcheng. Now that Pengcheng is developing so fast, it should be a good choice as a starting point!" Zhou Tao replied.
"Okay, it's up to you. Let's do it this way. When the time comes, you ask your wife to make a plan. I'll invest as much as you want me to personally invest. I'm not short of money now!" Wu Jianye joked.
Zhou Tao had no objection to Sun Qing wanting to develop his own career, and naturally Wu Jianye had no objection. However, Wu Jianye had already said before that Sun Qing's career must not have any equity interests with Yaoguang Group, so he had no choice but to
It was Wu Jianye who invested personally.
Zhou Tao muttered: "Don't worry, I can't do without you!"
After asking about Sun Qing, Wu Jianye asked Zhou Tao about Qian Sisi's thoughts.
Qian Sisi is currently studying law in Xiangjiang, but she already has her own ideas. According to the legal provisions of Xiangjiang, if Qian Sisi wants to be qualified as a barrister, she must intern in a law firm, but now according to Yan Wen
With the strength in Xiangjiang, the law firm in Xiangjiang must be chosen by Qian Sisi, but there is no need to worry.
That night, Wu Jianye, Gong Yin, Zhou Tao, Sun Qing, Yan Wen, and Qian Sisi had a dinner together, which was also regarded as a farewell to Wu Jianye the next day.
On the next day, Wu Jianye did not leave Xiangjiang immediately, but went to accompany Zhou Huimin in her apartment for a day. When he actually left Xiangjiang, it was actually November 2!
Considering that he has made too much noise in Xiangjiang this month, Wu Jianye will have to keep a low profile when he comes to Xiangjiang. He will try to spend two or three years to draw the attention of people in Xiangjiang away from his own.
The most important thing is to transfer the body to Zhou Tao and Yan Wen.
