How did I become a god

Chapter 1111 Start

2019年2月22日上午09:30，港交所的股东周年大会在港岛金融大会堂举行。

Representatives of large and small shareholders entered the venue one by one.At the same time, there are media reporters outside the venue waiting for the latest results.

Yan Jianxin, the secretary of the board of directors of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, asked Jiao Youlan, the chairman of the board of directors, and announced in English: "Everyone, this year's annual general meeting of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange is now beginning, and the first agenda will begin..."

In the past, when the shareholders of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange rotated, it was held directly in the conference hall of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, and there was no need for a large auditorium at all.

Because the Hong Kong Stock Exchange has less than 6% of the shares in addition to the major shareholder, the Hong Kong government, there are 76 other secondary controller entities approved by the Hong Kong government, accounting for a total of [-]% of the shares.

It was disclosed in the annual report of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange that the information of the twelve secondary controller entities can be queried on the official website of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, but it cannot be found.It's so awesome!
But these secondary controlling human entities also want to know who it is.You can guess it by looking at the work resumes of the six directors elected by the shareholders of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange!
Before Li Xiaojia, the then chief executive of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, reformed in 17, the Hong Kong stock market implemented a policy of equal rights for the same share, and there were no AB shares.Therefore, many large companies will not take the risk of reducing the controlling stake to about 30%. Instead, they hold more than 50% of the shares and firmly control their own companies.

There were also financial operations in Hong Kong stocks back then.The prodigy of the Hong Kong stock market back then, Luo Zhaohui, who had a close relationship with Liu Daxiong, once called the wind and rain in the Hong Kong stock market!
Therefore, the Hong Kong Stock Exchange stipulates that listed companies must have at least 25% of their outstanding shares.Companies with a total share capital of more than 4 million yuan can drop to a float ratio of at least 10%.HKEX is currently following this rule.

Hearing the voice of Yan Jianxin, the chairman of the board of directors who presided over the meeting, Jiao Youlan, the chairman of the board of directors, was slightly in thought.

This year's shareholders are active and enthusiastic, so they had to hold the shareholders' meeting in the Hong Kong Island Financial Hall, which can accommodate more people.

Eventful autumn!
It was very difficult for her to see where Mr. Jing's chances of winning were.This time, the Anglo-American capital headed by Lenny Mellon turned the table, even if Mr. Jing holds 10% of the shares, what is the use?It's not that they can't elect a director.

The candidate launched by the Bank of East Asia as the secondary controlling entity of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange is Michael Kadoorie, who is very difficult to be elected today.

There are procedures for the general meeting of shareholders, and the candidates for the board of directors proposed by all parties are all on the surface.According to the various regulations of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, two director seats need to be re-elected at the annual general meeting of shareholders.

This year, it is a seat recommended by the Hong Kong government's financial department, and a seat recommended by shareholders of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange.Needless to say, the candidates from the Hong Kong government, the focus is on the competition for director candidates nominated by shareholders of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange!

JPMorgan Chase, Bank of New York Mellon, HSBC, BlackRock, Vanguard, Swire Group, and Standard Chartered jointly selected Carlos Bellman, who has a background in JP Morgan.

...

...

Lenny Mellon did not go to the Hong Kong Island Financial Hall, nor did he sit and wait at home.It took a lot of resources for him to join forces with many forces today to prevent Jing Gao from entering the board of directors of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange.In his heart, he was also waiting for a while to taste the fruits of victory.

"let's start!"

Lenny Mellon's confidant assistant nodded, "Mr. Mellon, today's shareholders' meeting has a total of six agenda items. The third item on the agenda is the election of new directors. The 2018 annual financial statements will be approved in advance. It will start in about half an hour. vote."

Lenny Mellon smiled and sipped whiskey on the rocks.Looking out the window at the street scene in Central.

He is currently in the Mandarin Oriental Hotel not far from the Financial Hall on Hong Kong Island.Waiting for the result for a while.

Just after this year, the Hong Kong government approved the Bank of East Asia, which holds 3.78% of the shares of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, as the No.13 secondary controller entity of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange.This is the effort made by Jing Gao.

But what's the use of that?
He must be able to avenge his shame!
The year before last, when Jing Gao brought Uber to Hong Kong Island for listing, hoping to adopt the AB share system, they were unanimously rejected by their shareholders!
AB shares are the general trend in global exchanges, but they don't want to use them on Uber, China's leading company in the travel industry.Because it will not help them seek to control Uber in the future.

At that time, Jing Gao's attention was all on Li's richest man in his early years, and the two sides fought a war of words in the media.In the end, Jing Gao secretly acquired 8.7% of the shares of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange!This share of stock is enough to ensure Uber goes public!
He went to communicate with Jing Gao with HSBC, Morgan Stanley and others, but Jing Gao ignored him and lost face on the spot!It kept him in mind.

Today, after planning for so long, it is finally time to avenge the shame!
...

...

"Mr. Michael Kadoorie was nominated by the Bank of East Asia, the secondary controller of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. Mr. Kadoorie has been doing business on Hong Kong Island for many years and is a well-known entrepreneur. He has entered the board of directors of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, and he must have some influence on the governance of the board of directors. benefit.

Carlos Bellman has worked in the Asia-Pacific region of JPMorgan Chase for many years and is familiar with various situations of the Asian financial industry.His entry into the board of directors of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange can give full play to his advantages in the financial industry and increase the strength of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange.

Here are the shareholder representatives to vote! "

Jiao Youlan, chairman of the board of directors, said a few words impartially on the rostrum, and announced the start of voting.

In her eyes, although the Hong Kong Stock Exchange has an unusual status, it is the financial center of the financial center.But this vote is not actually a thrilling battle, but a vote with a clear situation.Gein has only a few main voting parties!

Moreover, shareholders in Hong Kong may still support the nominees of Bank of New York and JPMorgan Chase.

As for the power of these two parties, she didn't want to offend anyone, so she naturally remained neutral.

Shareholder representatives began to vote one by one, and people kept coming in and out of the auditorium to receive remote instructions from the bosses.

Hong Kong Island, Shangri-La Hotel Pacific Place.

The Shangri-La Hotel is the property of the Guo family in Malaysia.The Pacific Place store is not far from the Hong Kong Island Financial Auditorium, where the shareholders meeting of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange is held today.

At this time, the second-generation children of the Chinese giant merchant family from Nanyang gathered here quietly.The children of the Guo family, the Lin family, and the Qiu family were all there.Of course not all of them.Otherwise, it is not quietly, but clearly.

Guo Lingyu, chairman and CEO of Bank of East Asia, served as the host and entertained everyone.Here is her cousin Guo Huiguang who is in charge of the family business of the Guo family, the uncle of the Qiu family, and the elders of her good friend Lin Lujing.

Guo Siyue, the chairman of Yuexiu Bank, was also there, and beside her was Qiu Qiqing, the most outstanding girl among the three generations of the Qiu family.

Everyone is smiling and drinking tea.

"Let's start voting!" Guo Huiguang smiled and drank tea, asking the 33-year-old beautiful young woman Guo Lingyu.

Guo Lingyu's attire does not have the extravagance of a wealthy business family, but rather a western style of professional elite.This is related to her experience of studying in the United States and working for Goldman Sachs for a long time.

"Yes."

Guo Huiguang is the daughter of King Guo Tang. When her two older brothers failed her father, she took over the power of the Guo family and said, "Then let's start too! Our Mr. Jing won't be in a hurry."

Everyone agreed and called their respective relationships.Everything is going according to agreement.
