In an office building, Ding Huan Ge, the head of the Philippines' top family, the Hu Huan Ge Family, is plotting with his Chinese assistant Cai Qiwen, intending to regain control of the San Miguel Group and regain its former glory.
Din Huan Ge lamented: "When the Marcos regime fell, I had to flee overseas for asylum, and therefore lost control of the San Miguel Group. Now, it is time to get back what should belong to the Huan Ge family!
"
After speaking, he showed a trace of ferocity. In his opinion, the Philippines is a world of wealthy families. Each major family controls the political power and takes turns to be the banker. The same is true in business. It is a world of major families. When will it be the turn of one
The Spanish family controls the Philippine business giant!
In fact, San Miguel Group was founded by the Spaniards. Its founders were two major families - the Soriano family and the Ayala family.
In 1980, Ding Huango, a close confidant of Philippine President Marcos, took advantage of the contradiction between the shareholders Soriano family and Ayala family to obtain control of San Miguel Group with the support of Marcos.
In 1986, the Marcos regime fell, and Ding Huango had to flee overseas, and the San Miguel Group returned to the hands of the Soriano family again.
Cai Qiwen agreed: "It is not a big problem to win over San Miguel Group. I have contacted multiple shareholders and allies to absorb stocks in the secondary market. By then, whether it is corporate law or government power, Soriano Jr. will not be able to resist
, it is only natural for you to take back San Miguel Group."
Brother Ding Xu Huan looked at his most proud assistant and said with satisfaction: "Okay, if I regain control of the San Miguel Group, you will be the first to do so. By then, you will not only be able to serve as a senior executive in the San Miguel Group, but I will also be able to
You are in charge of San Miguel Beer, a listed company in Hong Kong."
Cai Qiwen said modestly: "It is my duty to assist you. San Miguel Group belongs to the Xu Huan brother family."
Cai Qiwen laughed along with him, but behind his smile, there was more ambition.
What did Brother Ding Xu Huan rely on for his rise to power this time?
In addition to that little bit of government influence, what is more important is that he, Cai Qiwen, works hard to find shareholders and allies to join their side.
And these shareholders and allies all look at Cai Qiwen's face, not Ding Xu Huan's face; that is to say, Ding Xu Huan is just a "mediocre man" and a "hollow leader".
'.
This made Cai Qiwen secretly decide that when the time comes in the future, he will take over the San Miguel Group.
So now he is just making excuses.
Use this mediocre person to first drive the Soriano family out of the San Miguel Group. When the time is right, let your allies join you to seize control of the San Miguel Group.
San Miguel Group is a large business group in the Philippines. Its core businesses include:
Food sector: Its products and services span the entire value chain, from animal feed, fresh chicken and fresh meat to processed meat, ready meals, flour, dairy products, biscuits and coffee, making it the most diversified food supplier in the Philippines today

Pearson. Hong Kong San Miguel Beer is a listed company, but its listed assets only include the San Miguel Beer business and assets in Hong Kong, Taiwan, Macau and the Mainland.
The real estate field, infrastructure field, energy field, electric power field, financial field...huge business industry chains together form today's San Miguel Group.

.......
San Miguel Corporation Headquarters.
President Soriano Jr. soon discovered that there was an abnormality in San Miguel Group's stock and became anxious.
He knew that the Xu Huange family was back and was trying to regain control of the San Miguel Group.
For a moment, he found himself a little helpless.
It turns out that the major shareholders of San Miguel Group hold very dispersed shares. The Soriano family, the largest shareholder, only holds 18.5% of the shares. Theoretically, whoever owns more than 30% of the shares can control the board of directors.
Just when little Soriano was at a loss what to do, a clerk walked in.
"Boss, there is a vice president of Barings Bank who wants to meet you!"
Little Soriano was confused. He knew about Barings Bank, but he didn't know why he was looking for him.
"Let him in!"
"OK!"
The vice president of Barings Bank who walked in was none other than Liang Botao, who had just joined Lin Zuhui. At this time, he had already adjusted his mentality and worked for Bole with peace of mind.
Chinese? Little Soriano looked at Liang Botao with some doubts.
"Mr. Soriano, I am Liang Botao, Vice President of Barings Bank. Nice to meet you!"
"Hello, is Barings Bank going to lend me a loan?" Little Soriano felt that he had grasped the key point, so he said urgently.
Liang Botao smiled and said: "We are an investment bank and we rarely lend money."
Little Soriano suddenly said unhappily: "So, what do you want from me?"
Liang Botao said unhurriedly: "We heard that a battle for control is breaking out in San Miguel Group, so we are very concerned, because our Bahrain Bank has absorbed 12% of the equity of San Miguel Group, and we planned to make long-term investments.
Now I am very worried that the San Miguel Group is being mismanaged due to internal friction. So I came here to get specific information.”
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "What, you hold 12% of the shares, why don't we know?" Soriano said in disbelief. Then, he fell into ecstasy again. Because of his
The equity, coupled with the equity of the Bahrain Group, can stabilize his position.
In fact, since Barings Bank is so strong, it will definitely be able to absorb stocks in the secondary market and thwart the Xu Huan Ge family's conspiracy.
Liang Botao smiled and said, "Don't you know now?"
Soriano Jr. saw Liang Botao's expression and immediately said, "Are you really buying San Miguel Group's shares for long-term investment?"
"Of course, there's no doubt about it."
Little Soriano immediately said with enthusiasm: "How about I introduce you to the board of directors, as long as you agree to me one condition!"
Liang Botao thought to himself, this is simply taking the initiative!
"What conditions?"
"That is to stand on my side and defeat the Xu Huan brother family together. I also hope that you will continue to acquire the shares of San Miguel Group!"
Liang Botao said without hesitation: "No problem, but we will not continue to acquire San Miguel Group's shares until we join the board of directors!"
Little Soriano said immediately: "Okay, I'll arrange it right away!"
This matter couldn't be simpler for Soriano Jr., who is still in charge of San Miguel Group; what's more, Barings Bank still holds 12% of San Miguel Group's shares.
........
A few days later.
Brother Xu Huan said in shock: "How did Barings Bank get involved and become a director of San Miguel Group?"
Cai Qiwen also had huge waves in his heart, and said in a low voice: "It seems that the person who is grabbing chips in the market with us now is the Bahrain Bank."
Brother Xu Huan immediately asked: "Is this Bahrain Bank powerful? Do you have the confidence to defeat them?"
Cai Qiwen said with a wry smile: "Bahrain Bank is not only powerful, it is very powerful. It is a world-class investment bank in itself, but the boss behind it is even more powerful."
Brother Xu Huan was shocked and asked: "Who is it? Could it be a Wall Street giant?"
Cai Qiwen shook his head and said: "The person who is not inferior to the Wall Street giants is Lin Zuhui, the world's richest man. Three years ago, Barings Bank was a bank that collapsed with more than 200 years of history. Then it was acquired by the world's richest man.
In three years, Barings Bank not only got rid of the impact of bankruptcy, but also doubled its business and gained nearly 1 billion US dollars in the Nikkei Index. It can be said to be the new overlord in the financial world..."
Listening to the strong record of Barings Bank, Brother Xu Huan finally realized that something was wrong. With such a strong strength, if he helped little Soriano, his hope of regaining the San Miguel Group would become slim.
In the final analysis, everything must abide by business rules. After all, Spain behind Little Soriano is not easy to mess with, and he cannot rob it by force.
"What should we do? Do you have the confidence to defeat them?"
Cai Qiwen shook his head and said calmly: "It is impossible to defeat them. After all, they already own more than 30% of the shares. But..."
"But what?"
"But we Chinese are behind the Bahrain Group. I need to contact him immediately. I believe that Bahrain Bank will not help little Soriano for no reason."
"Yes, yes, you are all Chinese, you will definitely not kill each other!"
At this time, Cai Qiwen suddenly felt that the sudden intervention of Barings Bank might be an opportunity for him.
.......
After some twists and turns, Cai Qiwen finally met Liang Botao.
"Mr. Liang, I have long admired you!" Cai Qiwen said politely as soon as they met.
Liang Botao invited Cai Qiwen to sit down, and then said: "Thank you, Mr. Cai. I am just a reckless investor. Fortunately, I met my current boss to save me, otherwise I would not be where I am today."
Cai Qiwen said with admiration: "Mr. Lin is the pride of us Chinese people. He has greatly increased the popularity of us Chinese people in the world. His achievements are unprecedented and unprecedented. I, a person who has never met him, can't help but admire him."
Being the world's richest man for five consecutive years, this influence is far beyond the comparison of Li Chaoren in his previous life. In his previous life, Lee Shau Kee became the fourth richest man in the world, which already created a great influence.
Nowadays, Lin Zuhui has defeated American technology overlords like Bill Gates for many years in a row, and his influence can be imagined.
The important thing is that many people know that Lin Zuhui's wealth is underestimated. Americans only count his listed company stocks. As for how much it is underestimated, no one knows.
Similarly, Lin Zuhui's investment in the American technology industry in recent years has also increased his unlimited influence.
Liang Botao also said respectfully: "Our boss is indeed a legend! Mr. Cai, what is the purpose of your visit this time?"
Cai Qiwen immediately said: "I want to ask, is Bahrain Bank's investment in San Miguel Group a long-term investment or inviting Soriano Jr.? Mr. Liang, you may not know that the Xu Huange family is preparing to take back San Miguel Group.
He has control over San Miguel Group, and I am his assistant. Therefore, I am looking for you to understand the situation. If Barings Bank wants to invest in San Miguel Group for the long term, maybe it will be more beneficial to your interests if the Xu Huango family regains control of San Miguel Group."
Liang Botao said without hesitation: "Our boss wants Xiangjiang San Miguel Beer, a listed company, and Bahrain Bank still needs to have a director seat in San Miguel Group. As for who to support, it depends on Mr. Cai's intention!"
Cai Qiwen was shocked and worked for a long time to get back the listed company San Miguel Beer in Hong Kong!
Why is it said to be taken back? It turns out that in 1948, San Miguel Beer in the Philippines bought Xiangjiang Brewery (the only brewery). Since then, it has become the monopoly of Xiangjiang Beer. Its business gradually extended to Taiwan, Macau, and in 1990
In 2006, it established a joint venture with Guangdong Province to establish San Miguel Beer (Guangdong Province).
Essentially, Xiangjiang San Miguel Beer is the predecessor of Xiangjiang Beer, it is just named after it.
Although Cai Qiwen feels a little sad, after all, his deal with Xu Huan is that if he helps Xu Huan, he will become the chairman and powerful person of the listed company of San Miguel Beer; of course, San Miguel Group also has his senior executive position.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! But he understood that if he did not agree, with the strength of the Bahrain Group, they would have almost no chance of winning.
"No problem! We are all Chinese, so we should work together." Cai Qiwen readily agreed without hesitating for a few seconds.
Liang Botao smiled and said: "Mr. Cai is right. You are cooperating with us to make plans for your future. After all, we are all Chinese. If we don't support you, who will we support?"
Cai Qiwen was shocked and said quickly: "You are joking, I am also working for the Xu Huange family." However, he added: "Of course, it is an honor for me to cooperate with Bahrain Bank. If I have the opportunity that day, I will
I also want to visit Mr. Lin, he is my idol."
Liang Botao laughed "haha" and said: "You are welcome at any time, I can introduce you on your behalf. After all, we will be cooperative allies in the future."
Cai Qiwen said: "Yes, yes"
He is not stupid. Barings Bank has absorbed so many shares and has become a director. Whether it fails now or in the future, it is very critical.
.......
When the San Miguel Corporation held its board of directors meeting again, a dramatic scene occurred. Soriano Jr., who considered himself his biggest ally, Barings Bank, chose to support Dinh Huango, and was completely defeated for a time.
Barings Bank is already a heavyweight shareholder holding 16% of the shares, and its influence is naturally amazing. Therefore, after learning the conditions of Barings Bank, Ding Xu Huan agreed without hesitation.
For him, having Barings Bank as an ally is like pie in the sky; as for losing San Miguel, a listed company in Hong Kong, he doesn't feel much pain. San Miguel itself is no longer as influential as it used to be, and other businesses are new.
core.
At this time, Liang Botao was sitting on the board of directors of the San Miguel Group, and he did not feel any shame towards Soriano. Business is so ashamed. In fact, the purpose of Bahrain Bank from the beginning was to put Brother Xu Huan in the position and to have a good relationship with Cai Qiwen.
Cai Qiwen is a Chinese, and his ability is very outstanding. When the time comes, the biggest purpose is to help him rise to the top.
