Huayu since 1980

Chapter 410 Brother, I'm Not Short of Money

"Director Wu wants to acquire Standard Chartered Bank?" Gao Jinbao looked at Wu Jianye in surprise, but just now Wu Jianye told him that Yaoguang Group was planning to acquire Standard Chartered Bank?
At this time, Standard Chartered Bank, although it has gradually fallen behind in the banking industry, is still the third largest banking consortium in Xiangjiang. Right, Xiangjiang Bank of China did not apply for this right until 92, and it was not officially owned by Bank of China until 94!

However, although Standard Chartered Bank has the right to issue banknotes, its development in Xiangjiang has always been severely suppressed by HSBC Bank, and its development is not as fast as HSBC Bank.

This is why Standard Chartered Bank will become the target that many foreign banks want to annex.

Wu Jianye nodded, and said bluntly: "Our Yaoguang Group has acquired 15% of the shares of Standard Chartered Bank from the charter king. Next, we will issue a formal acquisition of Standard Chartered Bank."

Gao Jinbao looked at Wu Jianye dumbly. At this moment, his evaluation of Wu Jianye's strength was only four words: Bottomless!
He just became the largest shareholder of Hong Kong Land, and then took out 50 billion Hong Kong dollars to rescue the market, and now he is thinking about Standard Chartered Bank.

"Director Wu, do you know the current strength of Standard Chartered Bank?"

Now Gao Jinbao really suspects that Wu Jianye came to this idea because he was dazzled by a series of victories.

Wu Jianye smiled and said, "Of course."

Standard Chartered Bank is the first batch of British banks to enter Xiangjiang. Its headquarter is in London. When it first entered Xiangjiang, its Chinese name was India Xinjinshan Huaxia Huili Bank. However, in 1911, the Chinese name was changed to India Xinjinshan Huaxia. Standard Chartered Bank, referred to as Standard Chartered Bank, merged Standard Bank and Standard Chartered Bank in 1969 to establish a Standard Chartered stock listed company. After the merger of the two banks, its branches spread all over Europe, Argentina, Canada, Panama, Nepal and the United States. At the same time, Standard Chartered Bank also The United Bank of California, which acquired the United States, gained the opportunity to enter Brazil and Venezuela. "

However, most of the business of Standard Chartered Bank is still in Xiangjiang. Xiangjiang's business accounts for more than 118% of Standard Chartered Bank. At the same time, Standard Chartered Bank is also one of the note-issuing banks in Xiangjiang. Now it has 600 branches in Xiangjiang, and the deposit amount should be 12.3 billion. Around Hong Kong dollars, since Standard Chartered Bank is a public listed company and does not have a major family shareholder, the largest shareholder of Standard Chartered Bank is Ryan Henderson, who holds 140% of the shares. The market capitalization is around HK$99 billion, ranking [-]th among the world's [-] banks this year.
Facing Wu Jianye's eloquent talk, Gao Jinbao couldn't help sighing that Wu Jianye might really want to buy Standard Chartered Bank.

Thinking that if this matter is exposed, Yaoguang Group will officially become one of the largest financial groups in Xiangjiang.

It is even the largest consortium in Xiangjiang under HSBC!

Sitting on two major consortiums, Landmark and Standard Chartered Bank, if Heung Kong is not the number one, then it is really hard to find who will be the number one!
But then Gao Jinbao suddenly looked at Wu Jianye with unconcealed excitement, thinking of the cooperation that Wu Jianye just said
"Then Director Wu invited Gao over here this time because"

"Inviting Mr. Gao this time, we hope to reach a cooperation with Hong Kong Bank of China to jointly manage Standard Chartered Bank!"

Gao Jinbao smiled excitedly at first, and then showed a embarrassed expression: "Director Wu, if you and I join forces to acquire Standard Chartered Bank, then the British government and the Hong Kong government will take action."

Wu Jianye waved his hand and said, "Mr. Gao, don't worry about this. Yaoguang Group's goal is to fully acquire Standard Chartered Bank. After this goal is completed, we will discuss specific cooperation matters between you and me!"

Gao Jinbao looked at Wu Jianye in shock. He didn't expect that what Wu Jianye wanted was to acquire Standard Chartered Bank. If Wu Jianye really succeeded, the funds involved would reach nearly 200 billion Hong Kong dollars. .

As the president of Xiangjiang Bank of China, Gao Jinbao naturally knew how much Wu Jianye had spent during this time.

It cost 80 billion Hong Kong dollars to acquire Jardine Land shares, 7.69 million Hong Kong dollars to Huang Tingfang's shares, 4 million Hong Kong dollars to Chinese Land shares, and 5 million Hong Kong dollars to Liu Luanxiong, and then just announced In the hands of Li Chaoren and others, another 18 billion Hong Kong dollars was used to acquire the shares of Landmark in their hands.

At the same time, it announced the rescue of the market, and invested 50 billion Hong Kong dollars in the Hong Kong stock market!
This is already 154.69 billion Hong Kong dollars!
Now Gao Jinbao is not shocked when it is said that it will acquire the Standard Chartered Bank with a market value of 140 billion.
If Gao Jinbao knew that Wu Jianye had actually purchased 700% of the shares from Chartered King at a price of 15 million pounds, Gao Jinbao would definitely be even more shocked.

Gao Jinbao was very interested in the cooperation proposed by Wu Jianye this time, and Wu Jianye was responsible for all the early operations, which made him even more satisfied.

Facing Yinglun and the Hong Kong government, naturally, it was not as easy as facing Wu Jianyelai.

Afterwards, the two parties discussed the proportion of their respective shareholdings in Standard Chartered Bank. After the discussion started, the friendship between the two parties just disappeared, and it was almost accurate to every decimal point.

In the end, Wu Jianye agreed that if the acquisition of Standard Chartered Bank took shape, Bank of China could buy 70% of Standard Chartered Bank’s shares at 30% of the average price Wu Jianye paid for the shares of Standard Chartered Bank. Enter the domestic market to contribute.
Last year, Lloyds Bank in England wanted to forcibly acquire Standard Chartered Bank. As a result, Chartered King, Qiu Deba, and Australian businessman Robert Holmes jointly invested in the acquisition of 37% of the shares of Standard Chartered Bank. Now Chartered King holds 15% of the shares. The shares of Standard Chartered Bank have been bought by Wu Jianye.

Then Wu Jianye was going to discuss with Qiu Deba about his shares in Standard Chartered Bank!

In fact, when he bought 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 bought the shares of Standard Chartered Bank, Qiu Deba's bank in Brunei was exposed to a fraud scandal. The position of the chairman of the board of directors of Standard Chartered Bank. After that, the shares in his hands only enjoy the right to dividends, 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 Deba was not smooth. Although Qiu Deba 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 major mistakes in the operation of Standard Chartered Bank, He will always pay Qiu Deba a lot of bonuses.

However, it is naturally impossible for Wu Jianye to give up so easily. At this time, Wu Jianye is too lazy to use some commercial means to force Qiu Deba. There is a confrontation between Jianye and Qiu Deba.

Wu Jianye was doing business, not setting up an opponent for himself.

However, in the face of absolute strength, Qiu Deba had to obey. As for Wu Jianye's method, he told Qiu Deba that he is now the largest shareholder of Standard Chartered Bank. If the shares are sold to himself, then Wu Jianye will hold a board meeting as the largest shareholder of Standard Chartered Bank and announce the decision to raise funds for rights issues.

At that time, everyone will fight hard
In the face of absolute strength, Qiu Deba was defeated, and finally Wu Jianye bought 20% of Qiu Deba's shares in Standard Chartered Bank at a price of 22.68 billion Hong Kong dollars, which was a 13.5% premium to Standard Chartered Bank's stock price!
Then there is the 8.5% stake in Standard Chartered Bank in the hands of Australian businessman Robert Holmes!
Robert Holmes suffered heavy losses in the stock market crash. Now is the time when he is in a state of desperation. Wu Jianye's appearance is not stingy, so the two sides soon reached an agreement. The price of Hong Kong dollars bought 10% of the shares of Standard Chartered Bank in his hand!
Since then, Yaoguang Group has become the largest shareholder of Standard Chartered Bank!

Last day of October!
It was the first time that Shanhai Investment held a press conference in Xiangjiang, and Zhou Tao was still the representative who attended the conference!
When Zhou Tao announced that Shanhai Investment had become the largest shareholder of Standard Chartered Bank at this time, he formally proposed to hold an interim board meeting of Standard Chartered Bank to re-discuss the issue of the board of directors of Standard Chartered Bank.

One stone caused a thousand waves!

No one expected that the Yao Guang Group, which had just become the largest shareholder of Hongkong Land, suddenly became the largest shareholder of Standard Chartered Bank again!
At this moment, Yaoguang Group has become the most dazzling star in the Xiangjiang business world!

none of them!

Zhou Tao even acquired Landmark and Standard Chartered Bank twice on behalf of Yaoguang Group, and was invited by the American magazine "Fortune", hoping to interview him!

Just when everyone thought that Zhou Tao must be excited to celebrate at this time.

Zhou Tao was actually complaining to Wu Jianye!

"Managing Tunan Technology is already busy enough, but now you add the management reform of Hongkong Land and the infiltration of the management of Standard Chartered Bank. You are going to be exhausted, honest man!"

Wu Jianye chuckled: "Is it too much work for those who are able, but compared to Hong Kong Land, Standard Chartered Bank will be more relaxed. Standard Chartered Bank can let it go first. Now we are the largest shareholder of Standard Chartered Bank, Ryan Hand There will definitely be moves from Sen. You just need to keep an eye on him. When Awen finishes handling the resource integration of the acquired listed company, he will go to Standard Chartered Bank to help you. At the same time, Bank of China has already agreed. Send a professional management team over to help."

"What you have to do this year is to keep an eye on Ryan Henderson and the management team of Hong Kong Bank of China. It will be the best time to fully acquire Standard Chartered Bank after one year!"

Whether it is Hong Kong Land or Standard Chartered Bank, it is not easy to achieve complete control. It must be done after careful planning and maneuvering, so Wu Jianye is not too anxious. The acquisition of these two consortiums without scruples.

But the management of the subtleties is more of a test of skill, but Wu Jianye just left these things to Zhou Tao and Yanwen.

In fact, this was Wu Jianye's last resort. There were too few people he could trust, so he could only squeeze Zhou Tao and Yanwen's ability infinitely.

Compared to Zhou Tao's endless complaints, Yanwen still faithfully obeyed Wu Jianye's order!

"Are you planning to go back to China?" Zhou Tao saw that Wu Jianye began to explain Xiangjiang's affairs, so he knew that Wu Jianye's time in Xiangjiang was running out!

"Well, if there are no accidents, I will return to China tomorrow!" Wu Jianye said.

"I really don't understand you, you are so rich, you still have to suffer that crime for making a movie!" Zhou Tao muttered.

Wu Jianye smiled: "To be a human being, you must have your own hobbies. As you said, I am so rich. If I can't live by my hobbies, then what do I need so much money for?" ?”

Zhou Tao nodded: "Okay, anyway, I can't beat you!"

Wu Jianye thought for a while and asked, "How is your wife thinking, isn't she saying that she wants to start her own business?"

Zhou Tao said: "I have already considered it, and I am ready to follow your suggestion and start a hotel business in China!"

Wu Jianye asked with a smile, "Have you chosen which city?"

"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 come up with a plan, and I will invest as much as you want me to personally invest. Brother is not short of money now!" Wu Jianye joked.

Sun Qing wants to develop her own business, Zhou Tao has no objection, and Wu Jianye naturally has no objection, but Wu Jianye has already said before that Sun Qing's business must never have an equity intersection with Yaoguang Group, so he has no choice but to It was Wu Jianye who personally invested.

Zhou Tao muttered: "Don't worry, you are indispensable!"

After asking about Sun Qing, Wu Jianye asked Zhou Tao about Qian Sisi's thoughts.

Qian Sisi is currently studying the law of Xiangjiang, but she already has her own ideas. According to the legal provisions of Xiangjiang, if Qian Sisi wants to qualify as a barrister, she must practice in a law firm, but now according to Yan Wen In terms of Xiangjiang's strength, Qian Sisi's law firm must be able to choose Xiangjiang's law firm, but there is no need to worry about it.

That night, Wu Jianye, Gong Xie, Zhou Tao, Sun Qing, Yan Wen, and Qian Sisi had dinner together, and it was also regarded as seeing Wu Jianye off the next day.

On the second day, Wu Jianye did not leave Xiangjiang immediately, but went to accompany Zhou Huimin in her apartment and stayed with her for a day. When he really left Xiangjiang, it was actually November 11!
Considering that the commotion he made in Xiangjiang this month was too great, Wu Jianye must keep a low profile when he comes to Xiangjiang in the future, and try to use two or three years to divert the attention of Xiangjiang people from his own. The most important thing is to transfer to Zhou Tao and Yanwen's body.
