Rebirth of the Financial Overlord

Britain is a capitalist country. As a colony, Hong Kong today also upholds the characteristics of capitalism. Here, the so-called democracy, freedom and even the law have always served capital.

In the mainland of the British Empire, foreign capital can still do whatever it wants, and accidentally fell into a woman's body and left water stains all over the place, which made the whole world dumbfounded.

In Hong Kong, it has not been easier.

Shen Jiannan is very clear that if the Hong Kong government is the core area that determines Hong Kong's administration, then the major banks can influence the decision of the Hong Kong government behind the scenes.

In 1986, British Lloyds Bank suddenly acquired Hong Kong Standard Chartered Bank, and the deadline for the acquisition was July 12. At that time, many analysts believed that as long as Rice raised the acquisition price, there was a great chance of success, because large institutional investors would be willing to sell the shares of Standard Chartered at that time, and Rice was likely to succeed in the acquisition.

If Standard Chartered refuses to buy, at least investors must buy more than 10% of the shares of Standard Chartered, so that they may not be acquired by Rice.

Afterwards, Rice announced that the purchase price had increased by 28%-29%, and the funds involved had increased to about 1.3 billion pounds. There were still two weeks left, and the victory of Rice Bank was in sight.

At the critical moment, Bao Yugang flew to London, England, Standard Chartered firmly refused to buy, and the president McWilliam was waiting at the airport. As soon as the plane arrived, McWilliam and Bao Yugang immediately had a secret talk at the airport overnight and reached an agreement. Then, Yu-Kang Pao announced in England that he would use US$300 million to purchase 15% of the shares of Standard Chartered.

Although in 1987, due to cancer, Pao Yugang had already split up his major groups to his four daughters and son-in-law, but as long as he is still around, some things still need his nod.

So Shen Jiannan came to Bao Yugang this time, hoping to win the 15% stake in Standard Bank held by the Bao family.

After taking over the shares of Standard Chartered Bank and becoming a director, the Governor of Hong Kong will also have to give face.

What's more, Standard Chartered was born in the UK, and there is no institution that is easier to borrow money from the Bank of England than Standard Chartered.

The living room was very quiet.

Bao Yugang seemed to be very tired because of his illness, and he seemed to be asleep with his eyes closed.

Shen Jiannan held the tea on the table by himself and sipped it slowly, without any impatience or dissatisfaction at all. A pot of tea was cold, and the servant replaced it with hot tea. Until then, Bao Yugang might have been awakened.

He looked at Shen Jiannan whose face was full of indifference, and asked curiously.

Is that how confident you are?

Where did you get such confidence?

Bao Yugang didn't say this sentence, but the meaning is the same.

Shen Jiannan smacked his mouth.

Confidence, of course, is brought about by money. Money is the guts of a person. If you don’t have money, you will feel weak when you see a woman. Money is the blood of a country. If you don’t have money, a country will go bankrupt.

It is impossible to have confidence in repatriating one billion U.S. dollars from Singapore and Thailand.

However, this is only one of them.

Bao Yugang was going to die.

As a pure jerk, Shen Jiannan knew that this all-powerful ship magnate was only a few days away.

As an elder and a father, he would consider future generations, otherwise he would not distribute the Bao family property to his daughter and son-in-law.

As a legendary businessman, he has the most visionary investment vision.

At that time, Li Zhencheng's Cheung Kong Industry had only 700 million assets, but under the operation of the Bao family, it won the Whampoa Hutchison with a stock index of 6.5 billion, which was recorded in the textbook of commercial annexation.

Investing in a person is also an investment.

The Bao family invested in Li Ka-shing, and in addition to winning Wharf, they also gained Li Ka-shing's friendship.

As for Standard Chartered Bank, it was changed hands immediately after Bao Yugang's death. Obviously, the Bao family had already made preparations to disperse their wealth and withdraw from the front desk.

Wealth has always been a poison, which makes people crazy and mouth-watering.

Bao Yugang couldn't refuse at all, and there was no reason for him to refuse.

After swallowing the tea, Shen Jiannan stood up and saluted.

Thank you, Ship King.

Bao Yugang was taken aback for a moment, but immediately recovered and laughed.

Before, he felt that Shen Jiannan lacked a kind of youthful arrogance, but looking at it now, it was almost beyond borders of arrogance.

Cough cough cough—good! It really is the old waves of the Yangtze River pushing forward.

Shen Jiannan didn't answer, and bent down to salute again.

Make a big salute.

It's respectful and disrespectful.

But Bao Yugang just smiled, man, there is no one who is immortal.

Unfortunately. You were born twenty years late.

On the top of the mountain, Shen Jiannan was escorted by Bao's servant Shi Shiran and walked out. Bao Yugang's cancer was already at an advanced stage, and now it was the last day. The two did not chat for too long.

The car drove slowly down from the top of the mountain, and as the mountain wind blew, the windows of the car rattled. Shen Jiannan squinted his eyes, feeling the strong wind on the top of the mountain, his eyes were filled with a vast and deep gloomy look.

ring ring ring——

The mobile phone rang.

Shen Jiannan's eyes flickered, and he pressed the call button.

Hi, hello. I'm Shen Jiannan.

Hello, Mr. Shen. I am An Yi, the chief secretary of Wharf Group.

.

News from Hong Kong and Taiwan.

Wharf Group and First International Capital reached an agreement to transfer all the shares of Standard Chartered Standard Bank held by the group at a price of US$700 million, accounting for 14.99% of Standard Bank in total.

The news has spread, causing violent fluctuations in the global financial market and banking industry.

As one of the note-issuing banks in Hong Kong, Standard Chartered Standard Bank has total assets of approximately US$3.6 billion and is second only to HSBC in Hong Kong. But now, there is actually a company that has acquired 15% of the shares of Standard Chartered Bank at a premium of US$700 million. .

What does this mean?

It shows that there are capitals who are optimistic about Standard Chartered Bank, with a premium of more than 100 million US dollars, which can be regarded as a precedent in the acquisition of the banking industry.

Kowloon District, Marco Polo Hotel.

After Shen Jiannan and Wharf Group signed the equity transfer agreement, they were immediately surrounded by reporters in the middle of the hotel.

Mr. Shen, hello. What is your capacity to represent First International Capital?

Shen Jiannan, who was dressed in a black suit, looked elegant, but such a young and handsome guy, no one would think of him as the actual controller behind Capital One.

The reporter who asked the question was a female reporter, wearing a light blue suit, with a pair of slender thighs at the hem, which was very confusing.

Shen Jiannan smiled gracefully, putting his hands in his pockets in a coquettish pose.

Do you think I am very young, but in fact, I am already very mature.

Ha ha!

The whole house roared with laughter.

This guy Shen Jiannan is not bad in appearance, and his status is very high compared to ordinary people, this kind of joke immediately makes people feel good.

The female reporter who was ridiculed also laughed like peach blossoms.

No matter how you say it, it's something to be proud of not having this kind of ridicule from the rich boy.

If you can develop it, it will be like waking up from a dream.

Shen Jiannan didn't have the ability to see through his heart. He didn't know that the female reporter was so excited because of his words. This guy cleared his throat and started talking nonsense in a serious manner.

This time. I represent First International Capital as a director.

Mr. Shen. First International Capital purchased a 15% stake in Standard Chartered at a premium of US$150 million. May I ask why your company is so optimistic about Standard Chartered Bank?

Standard Chartered Bank is a bank with a long history and has always had a good reputation in the banking industry. The company's management has always been dedicated to fulfilling its responsibilities for shareholders. It is precisely because of this that the annual net income of shareholders has been guaranteed to grow at a rate of return of 6%.

As one of the three major banks in Hong Kong, the integrity and fairness of the Hong Kong government ensure a suitable soil for the growth of capital. Hong Kong is the safest city in Asia. We believe that with Hong Kong as its base, the business of Standard Chartered Bank will soon spread across Asia, and it will serve Our company brings stable and rich returns.

Mr. Shen, hello. I'm Zhang Yu, a reporter from First Financial Magazine under the stars. May I ask if Capital One has considered investing in other industries when it comes to Hong Kong?

Of course. The integrity of the Hong Kong government and the efficiency of the Hong Kong government are obvious to all. We believe that in Hong Kong, the future development will be better and better, so our company will also invest in multiple industries in addition to investment banking this time.

May I ask if your company has considered what industry to invest in?

Actually, our company has reached an acquisition agreement with the largest fruit and vegetable wholesaler in Yau Ma Tei before, purchasing all the assets of Yunji Fruit Wholesale Market for 10 million Hong Kong dollars.

Mr. Shen

Everyone, please wait a moment. Miss, which magazine did you say you were a reporter for?

First Finance and Economics under the stars.

Oh. Our company is also very interested in Hong Kong's media industry. I wonder if this beautiful lady is interested in talking with me about your magazine later?

Ha ha.

Human appearance is always very advantageous.

This fellow Shen Jiannan had a handsome face, and suddenly he played a ruffian, which made people find it very interesting.

But no one knows that this is simply a game within a game.

at the same time.

At the gate of Chief Secretary Shu, more than a dozen reporters with long guns and short cannons blocked the gate tightly.

As soon as Huo De, the governor's chief secretary, walked out of the chief secretary's gate, he was stopped by a group of reporters.

Director Huo, I heard that a senior inspector in the police department abused lynching for making public reports. I don't know if there is such a thing.

Director Huo, we heard that a citizen who cooperated with the investigation was tortured to extract a confession by the police station, and the person vomited blood from the beating and was sent to the hospital for emergency treatment. I don't know how the police station is going to deal with this matter.

Director Huo. I am Shang Yun, a reporter from China Business News under the stars. Citizens went to the police station to cooperate with the police investigation, but they were tortured by senior police inspectors and were severely injured and hospitalized. Will the behavior of the police station sway investors' confidence in the matter? The confidence of the Hong Kong government?

.

I see you flattering!

Huo De's teeth itch with hatred.

Damn First Finance and Economics under the stars, what do you want me to say about this kind of thing.

Slandering secretly, Huo De tried his best to maintain his proper aristocratic demeanor.

Regarding this incident, on behalf of the Hong Kong government, I would like to apologize to the general public. I believe the Hong Kong government will give everyone a satisfactory explanation.

The policeman Shu is the government's law enforcement department. The senior inspector knows the law and abuses the death penalty to extract confessions. What does Director Huo think about the impact on Hong Kong's economy?

I apologize for this kind of incident in the police station, but I believe that this kind of incident is just a personal problem. The police department and the Director of Justice have jointly launched an investigation. I believe that the general public will be informed soon. Confession.

Then what impact will this incident have on Hong Kong's economy? Some citizens believe that some members of the Hong Kong Fu police force knowingly broke the law and deliberately condoned and cooperated with members of the underworld society to attack opponents. What do you think of this incident?

This is malicious slander and speculation. With the police department and the integrity of the public to supervise law enforcement, I believe that as long as there are such black apples in the police force, they must be severely punished by the law.

Hong Kong Baptist Hospital, ICU Intensive Care Unit.

Peng San took a cigar and smoked it comfortably, he didn't look like he was seriously injured and vomiting blood.

Beside, Charlie Cao explained to the hospital doctor with a smile, and slipped over a stack of thousand Hong Kong dollars.

Third Brother. Your move is so powerful that I was taken aback.

So-so. I just deliberately provoked that guy to hit me, but who knows that he really dared to hit me. How about it, can you beat him to death this time?

Charlie Cao smiled like a duck, adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose and said.

It's a bit difficult to die, but he definitely doesn't want to do it. Li Daxiao has arranged for a friend from the media to go there. He himself admitted that he punched you, and the hospital confirmed that you were seriously injured. If he doesn't die, he will have to do it this time. Peel off.

Old Cao. Why do I think you are cheap every time you laugh?

Cheap? You can't move the lewd and cheap.

What kind of mess are you talking about. By the way, what happened to Axiu and Xiao Erzi?

Axiu, I've already had someone send her back. But He Tianer may have to be locked up there for two more days. He beat that Charles Walker pretty badly, and there is direct evidence. Now it's up to the police's investigation results.

Can't you bail people out first?

The police station does not allow bail, but don't worry, the boss said he will handle it. The boss said, you'd better rest here to recuperate. If you can bankrupt the police station, he will invite you to Portland Street. .”

After finishing speaking, Charlie Cao couldn't help laughing.

This coquettish idea is really cheap and makes people like it.

The daily medical expenses in the ICU are sky-high, and the accident happened at the police station, which is enough for them to drink a pot.
