HKTV: How is the Great Owl made?

the next day.

Crown then roughly pushed open Cohen's door.

At this time, the female secretary was sitting on Cohen's lap...

"Shit! Crown, get out!" Cohen was in a panic.

Immediately he became furious and yelled.

Something big has happened to Mr. President. "

What happened? What are you panicking about? After Cohen put down the female secretary, he asked with an angry look on his face.

"Mr. President, we acquired some shares and the stock price has gone up, but..."

"Isn't it a good thing to go up? If we buy back shares at a high price, it will definitely go up." Cohen straightened his tie and asked.

Crown said hurriedly: "It rose too fast. It rose by 10 percentage points in one day. It is extremely rare to even rise by 1%."

"It's not normal. Mr. President is so abnormal!"

"What? It increased by 10 percentage points in one day. Is it true?"

Hearing this, Cohen's expression suddenly changed.

According to intuition, this is definitely not a good thing, but it is artificially manipulated.

Who is so capable that he can control the shares of Standard Chartered Group behind the scenes?

If you want to go up, go up, if you want to go down, go down.

Claudian will go immediately. Raise funds to fully repurchase. immediately! "

Cohen realized something was wrong, then pointed at his assistant Crown and shouted loudly.

"Also, summon all the board members and go to the conference room for a meeting in half an hour. There are no special events. Leave is not allowed."

"Yes, Mr. President, I'll be there right away!" Crown hurriedly ran out of the office.

If the funds had not been received in time, the mastermind behind the scenes would have done nothing to the Standard Chartered Group's shares.

Standard Chartered Group has been established for more than 150 years, and this is the first time someone has targeted their shares.

…

other side.

Tianyao Financial Company, 88 Kwong Fung Street, Tsim Sha Tsui, Hong Kong Island.

This building used to be Li Bancheng's former Hutchison Whampoa property, but now it has been bought by Lin Yao and used as the group's financial company.

The chairman of Tianyao Financial Company is Zhang Linwei, and the vice-chairmen are Wang Yong and Zheng Jimin.

The executive manager is Carlos, a Hispanic from country m.

How many shares of Standard Chartered has Carlos acquired now? Zhang Linwei looked at Carlos and asked.

Boss, we have acquired 15% of the shares, and now we have more than 38% of the shares. Became the largest shareholder of Zada ​​Group. "

Executive General Manager Carlos reported with great joy.

Continue to acquire. Mr. Lin said that he would do it at all costs, Zhang Linwei said to Carlos with a serious expression.

"Boss, if we acquire it at all costs, we will probably lose more than a billion dollars."

Carlos looked at Zhang Linwei in disbelief and said.

"You don't have to worry so much, just do what you want to do. This is what Mr. Lin has told me." Zhang Linwei said coldly.

"yes!"

…

other side.

An hour later, Cohen, sitting in the conference room, said angrily:

"Publish the order, and our price will be higher than the other party's."

Then he asked a vice president: "Clyfford, have you contacted other shareholders? Especially those on Wall Street."

The vice president named Clayford nodded and said:

"I have called several investment banks and contacted the contract company and 5 small shareholders."

"They all support our promise not to transfer the shares in their hands to anyone, no matter how high the price is, they will not."

Cohen did not feel relieved after hearing Clyfford's words.

Because these people are from Wall Street.

Wall Street is a group of people composed of wolves of capital, and they cannot even believe a single punctuation mark in their words.

"How much money do we have available now?"

Cohen then looked at the vice president in charge of finance.

Currently, only about 36% of Standard Chartered Bank's shares are outstanding on the stock market.

With this 36% stake, it is impossible for anyone to seize the dominant position from Standard Chartered Group.

But even so, the man behind the scenes still took action decisively, which shows that the man behind the scenes is confident that he can control the equity of Standard Chartered Group.

In other words, the man behind the scenes is confident of taking those shares that are floating in the market.

Now the best way for me is to win over the small shareholders who own shares of Standard Chartered Group, so that they will never be able to control it.

And this requires sufficient funds to repurchase the shares of small shareholders at a high price, which is impossible without bleeding money.

"Mr. President, we only have 80 million US dollars now... We have suffered too much from our investment in country m in the past few months, and our cash flow is really short." Alicano, the vice president in charge of finance, said with an anxious look.

"What? It's only $80 million now, isn't it?"

After hearing this, Cohen's face looked as gloomy as a terminally ill diabetic patient.

If Standard Chartered Group only had this cash on hand, it would be a far cry from others.

Since the other party wants to start a Zhazha Group, they must have very sufficient funds on hand, otherwise they would not take such a big risk.

After much deliberation, the only thing we can do now is to borrow funds from other banks in Great Britain or major overseas international banks to help Standard Chartered Bank tide over the difficulties.

"Aricano, you should immediately discuss with Citibank, HSBC and other banks to see if they can lend us $5 billion, and we need it urgently."

"It must be in the account within two days, and the interest rate can be promised to be higher."

After thinking for more than ten seconds, Cohen said slowly to Aricano.

Now he is forced to do nothing but do this, even if he has to pay high interest.

"Yes, Mr. President!" Aricano nodded, and then went out to call major banks.

In the conference room.

Cohen asked the head of the Information Department of Standard Chartered Group:

"Green, have you found out the identity of the other party?"

"Mr. President, we haven't found out clearly, we can only say that there are some clues."

The head of the Information Department, Green, looked at Cohen and said slowly, his tone was not very certain.

"Who is it? Who dares to be so bold to attack our Standard Chartered Group?" Cohen immediately stood up and roared loudly.

"It is the Tianyao Group in Hong Kong Island, especially the Tianyao Financial Company under its umbrella."

"Shit, how could it be this company?" Cohen's face turned pale!

As the president of Standard Chartered Group, he certainly knows Tianyao Group very well. After all, Standard Chartered Bank has 1/3 of its business in Hong Kong Island, and it also has the right to issue banknotes in Hong Kong Island.

Now Tianyao Group is one of the largest companies in Hong Kong Island, and its business covers a wide range of fields.

Cohen never thought that the one who was behind him was actually the famous Tianyao Group in Hong Kong Island.

What does Lin Yao, the chairman of Tianyao Group, want from Standard Chartered Bank?

Is it the right to issue banknotes in Hong Kong Island?

Facing Tianyao Group, Cohen's mind is full of information.

He knows that Lin Yao is a young man who has risen legendary in Hong Kong Island in the past two years, and he has risen from a low-ranking society.

Even movies dare not play his personal legend like this.

He also knows that Lin Yao not only has huge power in Hong Kong Island, but also has his own network of relationships in the British Hospital.

Even the last governor of Hong Kong, Peng, did not dare to confront Lin Yao directly, and he had to compromise with Lin Yao to a certain extent on many things.

Just kidding, relying on Lin Yao's current appeal.

Just referring to the gangsters who called on the Hong Kong Island community, there are 200,000 people.

200,000 people coming out, no governor of Hong Kong can afford it.

If you add the families of these gangsters and the employees of all the companies under Tianyao.

It is not impossible for a million people to stand up to support Lin Yao.

This is the huge power of Lin Yao.

That night, Cohen received a call in his villa from one of the shareholders of Standard Chartered Bank, who is also a "Wall Street Wolf".

He directly told Cohen that his shares had been transferred to Tianyao Financial Company.

This "Wall Street Wolf" has known Cohen for 15 years and can be regarded as a good friend, so he took the initiative to call him.

After hearing the news, Cohen only felt an invisible pressure, like a lead ball pressing on his heart.

His mood was so gloomy that he couldn't breathe.

After confirming that Lin Yao was behind the scenes, Cole felt desperate.

When the huge Standard Chartered Bank faced the strong acquisition of Tianyao Group, it didn't even have the strength to resist.

You know, Standard Chartered Bank is a giant in the world financial market.

The next week.

Tianyao Financial Company made continuous moves without stopping, and bought the shares held by other small shareholders at a high price.

Tianyao Group's equity in Standard Chartered Bank reached 53%, completely controlling Standard Chartered Bank!

The entire acquisition battle lasted only 17 days, and Standard Chartered Bank was taken over by Tianyao Group.

In the future, the right to issue banknotes in Hong Kong Island will no longer be completely controlled by Great Britain.

Standard Chartered Bank also immediately became one of the subsidiaries of Tianyao Group.

At this time, Batistuta of Jardine Matheson knew that Lin Yao had sinister intentions.

The multiple scripts prepared before also ended in failure, and the land in Sai Kung was completely out of reach.

The colonial government had to accept reality. The various obstacles set up by humans before. They also had to be removed secretly.

Tianyao Group's development of Sai Kung also officially kicked off.

The several plans prepared by Lin Yao were not used, including the fact that 500,000 citizens went to the Governor's House to challenge.

Of course, this was the C fan that Lin Yao thought of, and there was also a B plan.

Plan B is also very fierce, that is, to completely slaughter the entire Hong Kong financial market.

At that time, the big companies in Hong Kong will naturally put all the pressure on Peng Modai.

However, neither Plan B nor Plan C can be used. He only used Plan A to completely solve this project.

And he also took over the Standard Chartered Bank that he had been thinking about.

Although he paid a premium of 200 million US dollars more than the market price in the process of acquiring Standard Chartered Bank shares.

But Lin Yao thinks it is still very worthwhile, and his ability to make money can fully afford it now.

The Saigon development project alone will bring Lin Yao at least 5 billion US dollars in direct income within 10 years, plus indirect income of no less than 8 billion US dollars.

According to the comprehensive analysis of various intelligence obtained by Fengtang afterwards, the reason why Lin Yao was able to take over Standard Chartered Bank so smoothly this time.

The key reason is to seize the best opportunity. The best opportunity is that Standard Chartered Bank lost a lot of money in investing in the United States in the first half of the year, which hit the confidence of shareholders.

In the battle for equity, Standard Chartered Bank did not receive enough support in the international financial market.

To put it bluntly, there were not many banks that lent them huge sums of money, so they handed over their equity under a series of blows from Tianyao Financial Company.

After the villagers of Sai Kung petitioned at the City Hall, Lin Yao learned the great power of public opinion.

Without the help of his own news station, Peng Modai and Johnson would never compromise with him.

The next step is to further strengthen his voice.

When he has about 70% of the voice in Hong Kong Island, these British foreigners will really be on the decline!

At that time, if he wants to criticize these foreigners, it will be just a matter of his thoughts.

The power of public opinion is infinite, this is the real soft power!

…

The next day!

Nine o'clock in the morning.

Tianyao TV Station conference room. When Lin Yao walked in, all the middle and senior management of the TV station stood up to greet Lin Yao.

"Mr. Lin!"

Lin Yao nodded and walked straight to the middle position.

After sitting down, Yun Piaopiao had already placed a pot of brewed Keemun black tea in front of Wang Yuan.

Then he took out a Jingdezhen blue and white porcelain teacup and poured the premium Keemun black tea into it.

On the other side, Yi Xuefei had already lit a Cuban cigar and put it in Lin Yao's mouth.

After taking a puff of the Cuban cigar, Lin Yao glanced around and said:

"I am very short on time, so I won't greet you all, let's get straight to business!"

"Yes, Mr. Lin..."

Then everyone sat down respectfully.

First, Liang Shuyi, the director of Tianyao TV, reported on her work.

According to the reform plan given by Lin Yao, the current Tianyao TV has begun to plan various variety shows.

The old-fashioned variety shows in the past were all cut off.

The new programs that replaced them gave a refreshing feeling to the citizens of Hong Kong Island and even the audiences in Southeast Asia, Taiwan Island, and Macau.

Three months ago, according to Lin Yao's proposal and the script given.

The TV drama department of Tianyao TV has also started filming.

The scripts that Lin Yao took out from the system include legal dramas, historical dramas, martial arts dramas, police dramas, urban dramas, and fairy dramas...

Although only a small part has been filmed now, they have already caused a sensation.

Liang Shuyi reported to Lin Yao a series of work in the past few months, and finally said:

"Mr. Lin, TVB's Sir Run Run Shaw has mentioned it to me three times. He really wants to meet you and talk."

Hearing Liang Shuyi's words, the atmosphere on the scene suddenly became serious.

Now in Hong Kong Island, theoretically, the only one who can compete with Tianyao TV is TVB's Sir Run Run Shaw.

This is only in theory...

Sir Run Run Shaw was awarded a knighthood more than ten years ago.

Becoming the first person to be awarded a knighthood in the Hong Kong entertainment industry, his influence in Hong Kong Island is quite high.

Of course, this is only relative. It was quite glorious more than ten years ago, but now it is not worth mentioning in front of Lin Yao.

"Is he already unable to sit still? I thought he could hold on until next year before he would come to me on his own initiative."

After hearing Liang Shuyi's report, Lin Yao took a sip of Keemun black tea and said with a smile. (End of this chapter)
