Rebirth of the Strongest Tycoon

He smiled and said: "Think of something, Hony, take the liberty to ask, what is the share composition of Huashang Bank?"

Wu Hongyi is a little confused about Xia Yu's problem, but Xia Yu's problem is not impossible to say. As long as he is careful, he can definitely find it out. After all, Huashang Bank is a listed company.

Therefore, he put down his chopsticks, pondered for a moment, and answered truthfully: "This is not something to say."

"Even though Huashang Bank was originally founded by my father, for better development, there are two partners. My father holds 70% of the shares and the other two hold 15% each."

"There has been no change since then, until the time of listing, 25% of the equity was released to the market."

"Later, our family also cashed out some stocks... After a series of changes, I now hold 17% of the shares, and our Wu family also holds 30% of the shares, so our Wu family holds a total of 47% of the shares. , I also use this to become the president of China Commercial Bank."

"In addition to me, the bank also has 4 major shareholders, the shareholding ratios from high to low are 9.7%, 7.6%, 6.4%, 5.2%."

"Other stocks are distributed among investors and institutions, and the distribution is relatively fragmented."

Listening to Wu Hongyi's detailed explanation, Xia Yu wondered inwardly.

According to Wu Hongyi, there should be 24.1% of stocks in the hands of external retail investors and institutions.

It’s not wrong that the Chinese Commercial Bank is owned by the Wu family, but the Chinese Commercial Bank is also the capital turnover center of the British Chinese business community, and its influence is absolutely huge.

Xia Yu wants to build influence in Britain, whether it is among the British or the Chinese, it needs to be done.

Undoubtedly, if you can enter the Huashang Bank and become a pivotal shareholder, then the reputation will definitely be hit immediately.

And by virtue of the status of the major shareholder of Chinese Commercial Bank, it is enough to enter any level of circle of British Chinese businessmen, and the benefits are very far-reaching.

Although Xia Yu is strong in Xiangjiang and his reputation must have reached the ears of British Chinese businessmen, he has never been in contact with him after all, and if he is too far away, the British Chinese businessmen will not feel deeply.

Even if he knew that Xia Yu had come to the UK or saw Xia Yu at a party, he would carefully choose to wait and see. Even if he would contact him, he would be vigilant, and it would take time to get rid of their guard.

However, if you directly enter the Chinese Commercial Bank and use the Wu family of the top Chinese businessmen in the UK as a background, various problems will be solved.

To put it simply, Xia Yu wants to take advantage of the Wu family to pave the way for him.

In addition, Huashang Bank is the core bank of Chinese capital after all, and its potential and money are huge, and it is worth investing in.

But if you want to invest in Huashang Bank, you still have to see whether Wu Jiahuan is welcome.

In short, I still have to give it a try.

Thinking of this, Xia Yu said to Wu Hongyi: "Hongyi, asking you about this situation, also suddenly came up with an idea. With our relationship, I will not hide it. If you are unhappy, you will treat it as I never said it. ."

Wu Hongyi frowned slightly, and there were some bad guesses in his heart, but he didn't show it, and said with a smile: "Xia Yu, tell me, there is nothing to say between us."

"Then I'll be straightforward."

"I am very optimistic about the future of Huashang Bank."

As soon as this remark came out, Wu Hongyi snorted in his heart. Fortunately, he was still calm, so he heard Xia Yu continue.

"I plan to buy some shares of China Merchants Bank from the stock market and become a shareholder of China Merchants Bank. But you can rest assured that I will not rob China Merchants Bank with your family. I can't do it either. I just want to become a shareholder. There is a handy sign to avoid embarrassment later."

"I thought about it, if you buy stocks rashly, it's easy to cause misunderstandings, so I ask your opinion."

"Of course, if it doesn't fit, forget it, I'll choose another bank."

Xia Yu said frankly and didn't conceal his purpose. Anyway, with Wu Hongyi's ingenuity and Wu's old fox's IQ, he could easily guess his purpose.

That being the case, it is better to state clearly and be sincere.

After listening to Xia Yu's words, Wu Hongyi was completely worried, smiled, and promised: "Of course I have no objection. I am very welcome. With your joining, China Commercial Bank will definitely increase its strength. If you don't dislike it, I will take the president's The position is for you, it will definitely develop faster in my hands in your hands."

Xia Yu's magnanimity relieved Wu Hongyi. He knew that this was Xia Yu's statement, indicating that he had no idea about Huashang Bank, so he did not have to worry.

Wu Hongyi is not a stupid person. From the attitude of Xia Yu, he also knows that Xia Yu's words are true thoughts. He has learned about Xia Yu's deeds in Xiangjiang, the way of nature Xia Yu's thunderous methods in the financial market.

If Xia Yu really wanted to **** the Chinese Commercial Bank from the Wu family, he would not tell him clearly that he would buy the stock.

Since Xia Yu intends to become a shareholder of Huashang Bank, Wu Hongyi of course welcomes him with both hands and feet. With this super heavyweight shareholder, Huashang Bank’s security will greatly increase and the future will become brighter.

In addition, with the addition of this layer of interest links, the relationship between him and Xia Yu will be deeper, which is undoubtedly very good.

Therefore, in his opinion, Xia Yu's acquisition of Chinese Commercial Bank shares from the stock market will only benefit him and the Wu family.

Is there any reason to oppose this?

Seeing Wu Hongyi’s sincere smile, Xia Yu hurriedly smiled and shook his head and said, “How dare I grab your position as president? Your grandpa won’t beat me, haha, I’ll just be an ordinary shareholder, and the president will quit. It’s hard to say what you can’t do better than you. The most important thing is that you’re too tired to make money when you lie down!"

Wu Hongyi couldn't laugh or cry suddenly, and shook his head and said, "That's okay, but don't think about it easily. When the time comes, Huashang Bank will also have your share. When I encounter a problem, I will find you to solve the puzzle and I will feel at ease."

Wu Hongyi’s words made Xia Yu laugh helplessly. He shrugged and laughed as if to laugh at himself: "It seems that I have found something for myself? I still want to take a good break. Hey, it is hard work. what……"

"Come on, do it!"

With that, Xia Yu held up the wine glass.

Xia Yu's attitude was obvious. Wu Hongyi also smiled and picked up the wine glass, and touched it with Xia Yu.

"It's done, you are welcome to join!"

"Guru!"

"Haha, good drink, come, eat some food slowly..."

A verbal cooperation was reached, and both of them were in a good mood, and the atmosphere at the dining table became stronger.

The friendship between the two quickly warmed up in the interlocking coquettishness, because some strangeness that hadn't been seen in half a year quickly disappeared on the wine table.

Unknowingly, it was about nine o'clock in the evening, and the table became a mess, and everyone was full of food and drink.

"Hongyi, it's getting late, we will go back first. The time to come is still long. I will live in my manor in the future. Come and sit when you have time."

"Must, then I will give it to you!"

With that, everyone got up and went downstairs. Wu Hongyi put Xia Yu and others in the car, waved to watch Xia Yu and others leave.

He also wanted to go back to his residence. Uncle Chang, who was standing next to him, suddenly said, "Master, wait a minute, Master wants you to stay home tonight."

Wu Hongyi stopped, staring at Uncle Chang who watched him grow up, and asked: "Uncle Chang, why did Grandpa call me back well?"

Although Wu's Manor is in London, Wu Hongyi is used to living outside, so every day after get off work, he returns to his residence.

Of course, this residence is another set besides the one next to Xia Yu Manor. It is located in the urban area and is convenient for work, entertainment and leisure.

Uncle Chang, dressed in Tang costume, said kindly: "Master, you forgot, today is your birthday, I wanted to remind you, but you want to entertain Mr. Xia Yu, and other things will be rejected, so I didn't say anything. "

"Just now the master ordered someone to call and ask you why you didn't go home, so I told you about the situation. Master knew that you were hosting Mr. Xia Yu, so he asked me not to disturb you, but he asked you to come home after the hospitality. "

"birthday?"

Wu Hongyi smiled sharply, shook his head and felt a little complicated.

Since the death of his parents, all he remembered was his parents' death and birthday, and his birthday was not at all concerned.

And he also lives outside by himself, so he can have a good time. When it comes to his birthday, Uncle Chang will prepare for him.

He disappointed his grandfather Wu Chengde before. Even though his grandfather let him go home for his birthday, he refused. Since then, he hasn't been at home for his birthday, at most alone, even though.

Because he didn't care, Wu Hongyi forgot that today is his birthday.

"Uncle Chang, I know, I will go back now."

Shaking his head slightly to make himself more awake, Wu Hongyi smiled and said to Uncle Chang, then got in the car and ordered his subordinates to drive to the Wu family compound.

Not long after, Wu Hongyi entered the Wu family compound and walked straight to grandpa's yard after getting off the car.

Seeing that the lights were still on inside, Wu Hongyi knew that grandpa was not asleep yet.

Just about to knock on the door of the small courtyard, the door happened to open, and the old and kind face of the butler Fu Bo appeared.

"Second Young Master, you are back, the master is not asleep yet, waiting for you in the house!"

The housekeeper Fu Bo said with a kind smile, and he pushed the door open so that Wu Hongyi could come in.

"Fu Bo, then I will go in first."

Wu Hongyi said respectfully and walked into the yard.

When I came to the living room, I happened to see the grandfather Wu Chengde, who was sitting in the lobby and reading a book.

Since Wu Hongyi woke up, the family has a better development trend, and Wu Chengde's state seems to be better. This may be the reason why the mentality affects the physical condition.

Seeing Wu Hongyi coming back, Wu Chengde put down the book, with a kind smile on his face, knocked on the table and motioned Wu Hongyi to sit opposite.

"Grandpa, sorry, I'm back late."

As soon as Wu Hongyi sat down, the butler Fu Bo poured a cup of tea and Wu Hongyi immediately stood up and took it with both hands: "Thank you Fu Bo!"

"It's okay, I'm still in good health, just come back."

"How is the bank's situation recently? Are there any difficulties?"

Wu Chengde asked in an old voice.

"Operation is okay. The current situation is better than last month. To say that there are difficulties, it is also a common problem encountered by banks. It is limited by the overall business environment and can only count on the government to reform."

Wu Hongyi said truthfully.

Wu Chengde nodded slightly and said faintly: "In a special period, it is not bad to be able to continue business. The most important thing to be a bank is to be stable, take it slow, and not rush."

"I know!"

Wu Hongyi nodded in response.

After answering, Wu Hongyi picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea. The hall suddenly became quiet, and the butler Fu Bo moved slightly to add tea to the two.

After a while, Wu Chengde asked again: "Will you entertain Xia Yu at the Phoenix Building tonight?"

Wu Hongyi came secretly, bowed his eyebrows and lowered his head to say what Wu Chengde wanted to know: "Yes, he just came to London today. He called me in the morning, and he came to China Commercial Bank to find me around 4 o'clock in the afternoon. For more than an hour, I then invited him to dinner to pick him up."

After listening, Wu Chengde smiled with satisfaction and said softly: "Yes, he called you when he first came. It seems that the relationship between you is not unfamiliar, and it is good for you and the Wu family to continue to maintain it."

Wu Hongyi pursed his lips and nodded without saying much.

Hearing what his grandfather said, he didn't feel good in his heart, but the intellect of an adult told him that the capitalist world is like this.

The relationship between his friend and Xia Yu was originally very simple. He liked that kind of friendship very much, but because of reality, he had to mix some other things in it.

Knowing what his grandson was thinking, Wu Chengde reminded faintly: "It seems that you still need to be tempered. You are still alive. Of course you have the friendship of the uncle's age, but that is only a minority. What is friendship? With the value of exchange and transaction, the relationship will be deeper and can be maintained for a longer time."

Wu Hongyi couldn't deny it. He didn't argue with his grandfather, but just nodded and replied, "I know."

Although Wu's family is far away in London, they are also very concerned about the big events of Xiangjiang. Especially Wu's family also has some trade relations with Xiangjiang, and the news about Xiangjiang is naturally very well informed.

Xia Yu turned the clouds and rains in Xiangjiang, punched the Jardine consortium and became a top tycoon. They naturally knew that, especially the consortium with the characteristic of "Jiahe", they had to pay more attention. After all, the word "Jiehe" originally meant They belong to the Wu family.

Not to mention, at that time, I knew that Xia Yu led a group of people to hunt the Yihe Consortium, and when the news of the deaths of the three people of the Jardine Consortium Keswick and his son finally reached the Wu family, the Wu family shook up and down, and Wu Honglin was still thinking about it. After learning the news, I was frightened and sweated. Later, I had a fever for more than half a month.

And Wu Chengde collected the latest and most comprehensive information for the first time, and after reading it, he had an attitude, that is, that Wu Hongyi must maintain a friendly relationship with Xia Yu.

Wu Hongyi, who was originally happy and shocked by Xia Yu, certainly agreed.

Suddenly, Wu Hongyi thought about tonight's affairs, straightened out his thoughts, and said, "Grandpa, I had a dinner with Xia Yu tonight and we had a chat. I have agreed. It is about Huashang Bank."

Wu Chengde raised his head to look at Wu Hongyi, and asked, "What's the matter?"

"He told me that he intends to buy some bank stocks from the stock market and become a shareholder of the bank. He made it clear to me that he just needs to rely on the identity of a shareholder to act well, and he has no intention of buying. I have agreed."

Wu Hongyi said softly.

Wu Chengde looked at his grandson quietly. Seeing Wu Hongyi's calm gaze, Wu Chengde nodded expressionlessly, contemplating his eyebrows.

Fu Bo, the housekeeper on the side, couldn’t help frowning. He was a little worried. He was a person close to Wu Chengde, and he naturally knew who Xia Yu was. He was a financial crocodile. Introducing this kind of person to Huashang Bank would definitely have risk.

He never used the worst thoughts to contemplate people's hearts, and naturally a series of bad possibilities emerged in his mind.

But after all, he is a subordinate, Wu Chengde did not ask him, he is not easy to interrupt in this matter, lest it affect Wu Chengde's thinking.

After a long time, Wu Chengde asked suddenly: "Do you know what he did in London suddenly?"

Wu Hongyi was taken aback, and immediately replied: "I didn't ask about it. It is not convenient after all, but he told me that he will stay in the UK for at least a few months."

Wu Chengde nodded and said for a long time: "Since he told you clearly, it means that he is not malicious, and what he said is true. Of course, he does not rule out the possibility of sinister intentions."

"What he said should be the truth. It should be to use the influence of our Wu family to facilitate his expansion of contacts in the UK. Of course, this is also good for us. It has deepened contact with him and has great benefits in the long run. At least we In the future, the business in Hong Kong will open up better, not to mention in the UK."

"You promised him, so be it. You are welcome to come in and help him buy stocks."

"In addition..."

When Wu Chengde said this, he paused for a moment, considered it for a moment, and continued: "You don't need to pay, the family will transfer 4% of the equity to him, to show that we welcome him."

"But you have to pay attention, his equity cannot exceed yours."

Wu Hongyi was surprised, but he immediately nodded: "I know, I will tell him tomorrow."

"Ok!"

"If you have anything in the future, remember to tell me in time."

"Do you have anything else to say?"

Wu Chengde asked.

Wu Hongyi shook his head and said softly: "No."

"Well, let me have someone cook a bowl of noodles for you. If you can still eat it, eat some."

"I'm going back to the room first, and you rest early."

Finally ~www.ltnovel.com~ Wu Chengde exhorted him and got up and went back to the room. The housekeeper Fu Bo, who stood by, immediately assisted Wu Chengde into the house.

Looking at grandpa's old back, Wu Hongyi smiled, took the tea and drank it, then got up and left.

The next day, Wu Hongyi told Xia Yu what his grandfather meant, and Xia Yu was very surprised, but still gratefully accepted Wu's kindness.

Subsequently, he immediately entrusted HSBC Holdings to help him purchase the shares of China Commercial Bank, and Wu Jia also secretly helped in the purchase.

At the same time, he entrusted a third-party company to help him register a Bright Fund Management Co., Ltd. as quickly as possible, and immediately took over the 4% equity transferred by Wujia.

With multiple assistance, all possible difficulties are gone, and the progress is very fast.

Within seven days, the equity of Huashang Bank held by Guangming Fund increased to 15%, and Xia Yu immediately stopped the acquisition.

The news that the unfamiliar Bright Fund raised its placard to become the second largest shareholder of the Chinese Commercial Bank also spread among the British Chinese.
