Yu Li's childhood sweetheart and I in the courtyard

Chapter 211 Acquisition of Standard Chartered Bank ([-])
Here, Huo Jianning is dealing with the senior management of the original Standard Chartered Bank. He Shanheng has already called the elite soldiers who are going to take over the Standard Chartered Bank, and started to take over the Standard Chartered Bank.

And he himself also sits at Standard Chartered Bank. After handing over to William Charles Langdon Brown, he will temporarily manage Standard Chartered Bank and deal with the relocation of the headquarters as soon as possible.

On Xu Qiang's side, however, he started a plan, working with the Red Umbrella Investment Company to push up the stock price of HSBC continuously.

The shares of Standard Chartered Bank have also been closing, and from time to time announced the proportion of shares that have been acquired.Starting from 46% of the shareholding ratio, it is reported: 46.5% has been acquired, and 46.7% has been acquired.

The actual shareholding ratio reached as much as 71% shortly after the stock market opened in the afternoon.

Seeing that the proportion of shares reported by Phoenix Investment Company was getting closer and closer to 50%, more and more people immediately transferred their shares to Phoenix Investment.

By the end of the afternoon, Phoenix Investments added up, and Standard Chartered Bank and Yu Wei already held 80.1% of the shares, triggering a mandatory general acquisition.

It's just that all the stocks have not been attributed to Yu Wei's name, and the relocation of the headquarters of Standard Chartered Bank has not yet been completed.

Therefore, when the stock market opened the next day, Xu Qiang still followed yesterday's strategy.

The acquisition war on Xiangjiang's side is in full swing, but since Huo Jianning announced the official acquisition of HSBC and Standard Chartered Bank in the Phoenix TV morning news that day, Yu Wei has disappeared.

At this time, Yu Wei, who was on vacation with Lin Qingxia in Boracay, was answering a call from Huo Jianning.

"Yu Sheng, the headquarters of Standard Chartered Bank has moved back to Xiangjiang, and Phoenix Investment has acquired a total of 87% of the shares of Standard Chartered Bank."

"As planned, Xu Qiang also reduced his 30% stake in HSBC to only 14% after more than doubling the share price of HSBC."

"Today, people from the Hong Kong Governor's Mansion came to me directly and asked me to inform you that MacLehose invited you to his private banquet at seven o'clock tomorrow night." Huo Jianning said.

"Tomorrow, Standard Chartered Bank will apply for suspension and delisting, and we will directly launch a mandatory comprehensive acquisition of Standard Chartered Bank."

"After you arrange this matter tomorrow, tell the Hong Kong government. I will go to the meeting on time tomorrow night, and then you will go to the banquet with me." After thinking about it, Yu Wei said to Huo Jianning.

"Okay, I will arrange it early tomorrow morning." Huo Jianning replied.

"Husband, what's the matter? Do you want to go back to Xiangjiang right away? Then I'll go and pack up first." The two were lying on the deck chairs by the pool, Lin Qingxia saw Yu Wei finished the phone call, and asked.

"Don't worry, it only takes two or three hours to fly back to Xiangjiang from here. Tomorrow at noon we have lunch and then go back. There is still time. It's rare to go out with you alone for vacation. Let's play here for another day and then talk about it." Yu Wei said.

"Ah, husband, you are the best!" After hearing what Yu Wei said, Lin Qingxia got up and squeezed onto Yu Wei's reclining chair, hugged him and kissed him, and then said.

"Hey, there are better ones, I'll carry you in!" Yu Wei got up, hugged by a princess, picked up Lin Qingxia, and walked to the bedroom of the main house.

The next night, Yu Wei took Huo Jianning to what MacLehose called a "private banquet".

As Wei had expected, all the guests at the banquet were ghosts, and the two sides fought each other, refusing to give in to each other. In the end, MacLehose directly came forward and asked Yu Wei to stop the acquisition of HSBC Bank.

Afterwards, everyone discussed until late at night, and under the guise of giving MacLehose a face, Yu Wei took down Standard Chartered Bank and retained the right to issue banknotes in Hong Kong dollars, as expected.

But the two sides also made a guarantee that in the next 15 years, the Hong Kong government will not cancel the banknote issuance rights of Standard Chartered Bank, and Yu Wei will not be allowed to buy HSBC again.

Originally, the guarantee period proposed by Shen Bi was 20 years, but Yu Wei flatly rejected it. After more than ten years, if these ghosts don't leave, they will have to keep their tails between their tails and be more frugal. What are you kidding?
Shen Bi also put forward a condition that the HSBC shares in Yu Wei's hands must be reduced to less than 10% of the shares within one year.

Yu Wei saw that MacLehose kept nodding to him, and the shares of HSBC in his hand were less than 10% after the operation in the stock market during the day, so he agreed.

"Sir Yu, I'm really sorry this time, even Margaret called me."

"If you don't agree to reduce the shareholding in HSBC, after I leave office, if someone else takes my position, it is estimated that Standard Chartered Bank's right to issue banknotes will be cancelled. This is the countermeasure discussed by the other party."

MacLehose purposely found an excuse to keep Yu Wei, and then said to him.

"Thank you, Mr. Governor, for your reminder!" Yu Wei said words of thanks, but said in his heart:

"Think I didn't see it? How did you cooperate with each other throughout the night? One white face and one black face, one light and one dark, all kinds of coercion and lures were used, and it was just to press the bull's head to drink water!"

"This is just the most common trick in England, but my goal is not HSBC, but Standard Chartered Bank. Now that I have achieved my goal, it doesn't matter."

After Yu Wei and Huo Jianning got into the car, Huo Jianning couldn't help saying happily:
"Looking at tonight's situation, fortunately, we had expected it a long time ago, and announced the acquisition of two banks at the same time. In fact, we only need Standard Chartered Bank. got canceled!"

"Jianning, I would never think of buying HSBC, and we can't buy it either."

"Look at the situation tonight, the Hong Kong government is cooperating with them. If we acquire HSBC, many administrative orders from the Hong Kong government will probably be issued!" Yu Wei said.

"It can be seen that what they said today directly revealed the meaning of threat." Huo Jianning said after thinking about it.

"Xiangjiang is still under other people's jurisdiction now, and it will have to be under other people's jurisdiction for more than ten years, so I have to bow my head! We're done, look at Huo Sheng?" Yu Wei shook his head and sighed.

"Jianning, we can continue to increase investment on the other side of the river. Our companies, except for the high-tech and sophisticated machinery that are restricted by Batumi, should go to Pengcheng as soon as possible without the restrictions of Batumi. Investment and construction of factories in industrial parks."

"In addition, let the people of Phoenix Real Estate go to the major cities across the river to choose a good address. We will directly build a commercial plaza similar to the Phoenix Center in Los Angeles. However, buildings like stadiums are only considered to be built in a few big cities and provincial capitals. Try to make it as big as possible, you can figure out the specifics.”

"You try to talk about it in the same way as the Peninsula Hotel, and we strive to build it wholly-owned." Yu Wei said.

"Is it too early to invest in these things now? I worry that the consumption level will not keep up for the time being." Huo Jianning said worriedly.

"Jianning, you also know that the operation of gold this time has cost me hundreds of billions of dollars. This is not counting the profits of the various companies under my umbrella over the years."

"First, I was looking for a way for these funds. The money will depreciate in the bank. Second, you also know that the backing behind us has just started to develop. Only when our backing is strong can we have more confidence! "Yu Wei patted Huo Jianning on the shoulder and said.

"The development on the other side of the river will be faster and faster. You are worried that their consumption level will not keep up for the time being. I am also worried that your building area is not large enough and the floors are not high enough. It will not be enough in the future! Think about Xiangjiang ten years ago. What does it look like? Now?" Yu Wei said again.

"Understood, I'm going to Sijiu City next month to discuss the matter of the three major joint venture automobile companies, and I also happen to talk about the matter of Phoenix Commercial Plaza!" Huo Jianning replied.

"Why is it so late?" Back in the main building, Yu Wei saw that all the girls were awake, and they were all waiting for him in the living room. Upon seeing Yu Wei, Yu Li asked.

Yu Wei walked to Yu Li and sat down on the sofa, then said:
"I quarreled with those ghosts all night. As expected, I finally saved the right to issue banknotes from Standard Chartered Bank. It can be considered that all the planned goals were successfully completed as planned."

"England and the Hong Kong government really interfered?" Yu Li asked.

"Before he left, MacLehose told me that Margaret had already called him. What do you think? The HSBC stock in his hand was also threatened by the other party, asking us to reduce our holdings by 10% within a year. Below. Otherwise, if the next governor takes office, Standard Chartered Bank’s right to issue banknotes may not be guaranteed.” Yu Wei said again.

"It's disgusting, this is a normal business practice!" Qiao Yue said angrily.

"I think it's normal. They are used to holding a pen in one hand and a gun in the other. Otherwise, how did England come to have so many colonies?" Yu Wei said.

"Husband, hold a pen in one hand and a gun in the other. Who said that? What does it mean?" Qiao Yue asked.

"This is what I said. If you don't obey, I will point the gun at you, and hand you the pen by the way, so that you can just bow your head and sign! Isn't that how all their colonies came here?" Yu Wei said with a smile.

"Haha, it seems to make sense. Haha!" Qiao Yue said with a smile.

"Standard Chartered Bank has been successfully acquired, and the right to issue banknotes has been preserved, so that's it! This is also within our expectations." Yu Wei concluded.

"Yu Li, starting from this month, you will double your private money every month."

"He Sheng of Phoenix Bank is going to sell all their shares to me, and with the money, let the family members start another company and be our suppliers."

"I have promised them that as long as the product quality is qualified, I will give them the same treatment as Li Chaoren."

"And I will merge Phoenix Bank and Standard Chartered Bank, He Sheng and the others will also serve as senior bank executives in the merged Standard Chartered Bank, and He Sheng will serve as the new executive of the merged Standard Chartered Bank."

"In the future, I will transfer the profits of Standard Chartered Bank to the family. From now on, you will be in charge of managing the accounts, and Fengjiao will be in charge of making arrangements." Yu Wei finished speaking in one breath, took a sip of water, and looked at the wives.

"Okay, let's leave it at that. From now on, I will be responsible for reconciling accounts with Fengjiao every month! Fengjiao, thank you for your hard work!" Yu Li said.

"Sister, it's not hard, I like this kind of life, hehe." Lin Fengjiao smiled.

"This month, the extra private money that was given to me, Fengjiao, you can transfer it to A Hong's name for me at that time, she started late, and the private money has only been received for a few months." Yu Li said to Lin Fengjiao .

"Thank you big sister, I have enough!" Zhong Chuhong said while looking at Yu Wei and winking at him.

While no one was paying attention, Yu Wei glared back at her, and he gave her a sum of private money in private, so he couldn't reveal it.

"Don't refuse, this is for you as a big sister!" Yu Li said with a glare at her.

Afterwards, the other eight wives also wanted to transfer this month's extra private money to Zhong Chuhong, and they refused to let her refuse.
