Yu Li's childhood sweetheart and I in the courtyard

Chapter 210 Acquisition of Standard Chartered Bank ([-])
"Yu Sheng, no problem, as it should be!" He Shanheng replied straight away.

"Yu Sheng, no problem, He Sheng is right! It should be so!" Li Guowei agreed.

"Okay, then it's settled! Jianning, you can arrange it first. Tomorrow morning, you go to Phoenix Satellite TV's morning news program to announce the announcement of our acquisition of HSBC and Standard Chartered Bank."

"In addition, in order to prevent the British and Hong Kong governments from directly looking for me to intervene in the acquisition, and to facilitate your actions, I will go to Boracay Island for vacation today, and I will come back after the Standard Chartered Bank headquarters has completed the relocation of Hong Kong."

"You all have my other satellite phone number, you can contact me directly if you have any important matters during the period." Yu Wei said.

Afterwards, several people discussed various details and countermeasures in case of emergencies, and then left Yu Wei's office, and went back to make various arrangements.

"Husband, according to what you just said, is it possible that the Yinglun and Hong Kong government still interfere with our normal acquisition?" Yu Li asked in disbelief.

"Hey, interference will definitely happen! You don't think that the Queen of England gave us two honors or something, so you think they agree with us?"

"This is just a trick they used to win over the colonies. Don't think about it."

"If we hadn't settled in Xiangjiang and were still under their jurisdiction, do you think I would want that title?"

"Wait, after we announce the acquisition of HSBC and Standard Chartered Bank, as long as we acquire about 34% of HSBC's shares, MacLehose will definitely meet me. By then, it is estimated that we will actually take over Standard Chartered Bank. Time!" Yu Wei said.

On the same day, Yu Wei took Lin Qingxia, who is currently the most leisurely, and the two took a private jet to Boracay Island for a leisurely vacation.

The next morning, all Xiangjiang citizens who were watching the Phoenix TV morning news suddenly ate a big melon!
At the end of the morning news broadcast, Huo Jianning suddenly appeared on the TV screen and announced on behalf of Yu Wei:
1. Yu Wei himself already holds 30% of the shares of HSBC Bank. Now he officially announces that he will formally initiate the acquisition of HSBC Bank. The price per share is 20% higher than the closing price of HSBC Bank in the stock market yesterday.

2. Yu Wei himself already holds 46% of the shares of Standard Chartered Bank. Now he officially announces that he will formally initiate the acquisition of Standard Chartered Bank. He will purchase the shares of Standard Chartered Bank at a premium of 10% per share at yesterday’s closing price of Standard Chartered Bank’s stock in the stock market. Temporarily Only 4% of Standard Chartered shares are considered.

Immediately, the whole of Hong Kong became lively. Many people immediately called stockbrokers and gave them orders to buy HSBC stocks or sell Standard Chartered Bank stocks after the stock market opened.

Shen Bi, the senior manager of HSBC, was eating breakfast and watching the morning news on Phoenix TV.

On behalf of Yu Wei, Huo Jianning announced the official launch of the acquisition of HSBC and Standard Chartered Bank on TV. He really saw it!
After reading it, he was stunned for a while, and when he came back to his senses, he immediately thought:
"Acquisition of two British banks at the same time? What does Yu Wei want to do? With the giant Hang Seng Bank and Phoenix Bank, what else does Yu Wei want HSBC and Standard Chartered Bank to do?"

"That's right! The right to issue banknotes! We joined forces to prevent Hang Seng Bank from becoming a banknote-issuing bank. Now he wants to take down the two banknote-issuing banks in Hong Kong, and he has complete control over the issuance of Hong Kong dollars!"

"It must be so! It must be so!"

Thinking that he had guessed Yu Wei's thoughts correctly, Shen Bi acted immediately, immediately took out his Phoenix mobile phone, called London, and chatted for a long time.

Afterwards, he didn't eat breakfast, and asked the driver to take him back to the headquarters of HSBC Bank.

Standard Chartered Bank executive William Charles Langdon Brown also watched the Phoenix TV morning news. He also saw the TV screen of Huo Jianning announcing the formal acquisition of HSBC and Standard Chartered Bank.

But when he saw Huo Jianning announced that Yu Wei already held 46% of the shares of Standard Chartered Bank, his heart sank!
Different from Shen Bi, he just quickly called other management and asked them to go back to the headquarters to discuss together and see how to deal with the problem of Wei sending people to take over Standard Chartered Bank.

Yu Wei is now the largest shareholder of Standard Chartered Bank, only 4% away from reaching the controlling stake. At this time, it is too late and useless to find a white knight or something.

On the same day, as soon as the Hong Kong Stock Exchange opened, the two stocks of HSBC and Standard Chartered Bank were very active!

However, everyone at HSBC is grabbing stocks, and at Standard Chartered Bank, they are basically selling stocks at the price announced by Huo Jianning. Xu Qiang has arranged a large number of people to take over.

In less than an hour, Xu Qiang had acquired 5% of the shares of Standard Chartered Bank, but he did not order to stop the acquisition, but just put together the newly acquired 5% and the previous 63% of the shares, and completed various procedures such as equity certificates After that, he quickly handed it over to Huo Jianning who was already waiting.

After Huo Jianning took the large file bag submitted by Xu Qiang, he opened the file bag, read it roughly, and said to Xu Qiang: "We can proceed according to the plan!"

Then he left quickly and rushed directly to the headquarters of Phoenix Bank to meet He Shanheng.

"He Sheng, Xu Sheng's speed is very fast. We now hold a total of 68% of the shares of Standard Chartered Bank."

"It seems that the plan has to be changed slightly. We will take over Standard Chartered Bank first, and move the headquarters back to Xiangjiang as soon as possible!" Huo Jianning said to He Shanheng after closing the door after he arrived at He Shanheng's office.

"I see here, Xu Qiang also made an equity certificate that Yu Sheng holds 51% of the shares of Standard Chartered Bank earlier."

"He Sheng, we can first show this document to Standard Chartered Bank and request to move the headquarters back to Xiangjiang."

"If they object, what do you think of the proof that Yu Sheng already holds 68% of the shares of Standard Chartered Bank and directly deal with the issue of the relocation of the headquarters?" Huo Jianning said again.

"I think it's fine. What Yu Sheng is most worried about is that Standard Chartered Bank is headquartered in England, which will allow London to have more room for maneuver, and there are many variables."

"As long as the headquarters is moved back to Xiangjiang, the full acquisition of Standard Chartered Bank will be settled!" He Shanheng said after thinking for a while.

"Okay, then the two of us will go to the headquarters of Standard Chartered Bank, and meet the management for a while, and the team that takes over Standard Chartered Bank will be on standby first!" Huo Jianning got up and said.

As soon as Huo Jianning left, Xu Qiang asked people to continue buying the shares of Standard Chartered Bank, while he himself focused on the acquisition of HSBC shares.

At this time, HSBC Bank, which was ready, also officially entered the market through its subsidiary Huo Duoli to grab funds, and the two sides officially launched a fund-raising battle.

Continue to push up the share price of HSBC.

Huo Jianning and He Shanheng were at the headquarters of Standard Chartered Bank at this time, having a dialogue with the management of Standard Chartered Bank.

"Everyone, please take a look. This is the equity certificate. Yu Sheng already holds 51% of the shares of Standard Chartered Bank and is the controlling shareholder." Huo Jianning directly showed the document to many senior executives of Standard Chartered Bank.

Under such circumstances, it is impossible for this kind of certification document to be falsified. Many senior executives of Standard Chartered just want to see Yu Wei's specific shareholding ratio to determine whether he has actually controlled Standard Chartered Bank.

Seeing the expected result, they didn't open their mouths to argue for the time being. They had already discussed to see what Yu Wei's side would do first.

"Since everyone has clearly known that Yu Sheng is the controlling shareholder, I have been entrusted by Yu Sheng to represent Yu Sheng in all matters concerning him as the controlling shareholder in Standard Chartered Bank. This is the power of attorney." Huo Jianning said while The proxy statement was presented to a number of senior executives at Standard Chartered Bank.

"According to Yu Sheng, next, the headquarters of Standard Chartered Bank must be moved back to Xiangjiang as soon as possible." Huo Jianning said again.

"No, it's impossible!" William Charles Langdon Brown stood up and shouted.The other high-ranking ghosts also made a noise.

Huo Jianning and He Shanheng looked at each other, and they nodded slightly.

"Yu Sheng is right. It will be really troublesome if we don't acquire an absolute controlling stake. I originally wanted to buy Xu Qiang some more time, but I'm afraid I can't this time!" Thinking of this, Huo Jianning no longer hesitated.

"Everyone, everyone! Please read this document again!" Huo Jianning stopped talking nonsense, and directly threw out the document proving that Yu Wei held 68% of the shares of Standard Chartered Bank.

"Although Yu Sheng is the absolute controlling shareholder, if you must move the headquarters of Standard Chartered Bank back to Xiangjiang, we management will resign collectively!"

After William Charles Langdon Brown and other high-ranking ghosts communicated with each other, they spoke.

Other senior executives of Standard Chartered Bank also echoed.

"Everyone, even if you resign collectively, Yu Sheng will still move the headquarters of Standard Chartered Bank back to Xiangjiang. There is no need to discuss this matter!" Huo Jianning said forcefully.

"Then we resign now!" William Charles Langdon Brown replied immediately.

"Yes, if any of you want to resign, I can sign and agree on behalf of Yu Sheng now!" Huo Jianning replied directly and forcefully.

Now, William Charles Langdon Brown and the others were in a difficult situation. They wanted to threaten them, but Huo Jianning didn't play their cards according to common sense.

Cleaning up these high-ranking ghosts was originally planned, but Huo Jianning didn't expect it to be so early and so smooth.

Now that there was an opportunity to get rid of these ghosts in advance, Huo Jianning of course immediately seized the opportunity to do it!

Afterwards, since the senior executives of Standard Chartered had already spoken, they could only go through the resignation procedures together.

"Guys, I know you all have more or less shares in Standard Chartered Bank."

"You also know that in the next step, we will definitely apply to the Hong Kong Stock Exchange to suspend trading, and then carry out a wholly-owned acquisition and delisting."

"If you sign a non-disclosure agreement and don't disclose what happened today, on behalf of Yu Sheng, I can buy back the stocks in your hands at a premium of 10% at today's closing price. I don't know what you want?"

Huo Jianning saw that all the high-level ghosts had completed the resignation procedures and were about to leave, so he said immediately.

He still wanted to try his best to buy time for Xu Qiang, so that he would have more time to operate in the stock market, and also let him complete the relocation of the Standard Chartered Bank's headquarters faster and more smoothly.

Otherwise, as long as it is reported that Standard Chartered has been absolutely controlled by Yu Wei, the British and Hong Kong governments will definitely intervene in advance.

I have already resigned, and I can still take advantage of it and make more money.William Charles Langdon Brown, who held the most shares, was the first to agree.

Immediately after the discussion between the two parties, all the senior executives of Standard Chartered signed a confidentiality agreement and a stock transaction agreement. However, Huo Jianning specifically requested that the stock delivery date be set on the day after the Standard Chartered Bank headquarters moved back to Xiangjiang.
