Chapter Ninety-One: A Game Within a Game
Britain is a capitalist country, as a colony, and today's Hong Kong also adheres to capitalist characteristics, where the so-called democracy, freedom and even law have always been at the service of capital.
In the British Empire, foreign capital can still do whatever it takes, and accidentally fall into the water stains of a woman's body, which makes the world jaw-dropping.
In Hong Kong, it's not easier.
Shen Jiannan knows very well that if the Hong Kong government is the core area that determines Hong Kong's administration, then it is the major banks that can influence the Hong Kong government's decision.
In 1986, Rice Bank of the United Kingdom suddenly acquired Standard Chartered Bank of Hong Kong, and the deadline for the acquisition was July 12. At the time, many analysts believed that as long as Rice raised the purchase price, there was a good chance of success, because large institutional investors would be willing to sell Standard Chartered shares at that time, and Rice was likely to make a successful acquisition.
If Standard Chartered refuses to acquire, at least investors will buy more than 10% of Standard Chartered shares before it may not be acquired by Rice.
Later, Rice announced a 28%-29% increase in the purchase price, involving an increase in funds to about 1.3 billion pounds, with two weeks left, and Rice Bank's victory was in sight.
At the critical moment, Pao Yugang flew to London, England, Standard Chartered resolutely refused to buy, President William Mak was waiting at the airport, as soon as the plane arrived, William Mak immediately and Pao Yugang at the airport overnight secret talks, reached an agreement. Then, Pao Yugang announced in England that he would spend $300 million to buy 15% of Standard Chartered's shares.
Although in 87, Pao Yugang had split his major groups to four daughters and sons-in-law due to cancer, as long as he was still around, some things still needed his nod.
Therefore, Shen Jiannan came to Bao Yugang this time, hoping to take the 15% of the standard bank equity held by the Bao family.
It was quiet in the living room.
Bao Yugang seemed to be very tired because of his death, and his eyes were closed as if he was asleep.
Shen Jiannan carried the tea on the table alone and tasted it slowly, without any impatience or dissatisfaction at all. A pot of tea was cold, and the maid changed the tea, until this time, it may have woken up Bao Yugang.
He looked at Shen Jiannan, whose face was full of indifference, and said curiously.
"You're so confident?"
Where did you get so much confidence?
Bao Yugang didn't say this sentence, but the meaning is the same meaning.
Shen Jiannan smashed his mouth.
Confidence is this thing, of course, brought by money, money is people's guts, if you don't have money, you have to be weak when you see a woman, money is the blood of a country, and if you don't have money, a country will go bankrupt.
I can't transfer a billion dollars back from Singapore and Thailand, and I can't believe it.
But that's just one of them.
Bao Yugang is dying.
As a pure hanger, Shen Jiannan knew that this powerful ship king would not be in for a few days.
As an elder and a father, he will think about future generations, otherwise he would not give the Bao family's family business to his daughter and son-in-law.
As a legendary businessman, he has the most far-sighted investment vision.
At that time, Li Zhencheng's Cheung Kong Industrial only had assets of 700 million yuan, but under the operation behind the Bao family, it won the Huangpu Hutchison with a stock index of 6.5 billion yuan, which was included 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 immediately changed hands after Bao Yugang's death, and it is obvious that the Bao family has long been ready to disperse their wealth and withdraw from the front desk.
Wealth has always been poisonous, both crazy and mouth-watering.
Pao Yugang simply couldn't refuse, and there was no reason to refuse.
Swallowing the tea, Shen Jiannan stood up and saluted.
"Thank you, Ship King. ”
Bao Yugang was stunned for a moment, but immediately came back to his senses and laughed.
Before, he still felt that Shen Jiannan lacked a kind of youthful frivolity, but now that he looks at it, he is simply arrogant.
Sure enough, it was the old waves of the Yangtze River pushing the front waves. ”
Shen Jiannan didn't answer, and bowed again.
Make a big salute.
It's both respectful and disrespectful.
But Bao Yugang just smiled, people, how can there be immortals.
"It's a pity. You were born twenty years late. ”
At the top of the mountain, Shen Jiannan walked out under the grace of the Bao family's servant, Bao Yugang's cancer was already terminal, and now he was the last son, and the two didn't talk for too long.
The car drove slowly down from the top of the mountain, and the windows of the car were hunting as the mountain wind blew. Shen Jiannan squinted, feeling the strong wind on the top of the mountain, and his eyes were full of vast and deep gloomy colors.
Bell Bell Bell –
The mobile phone rang.
Shen Jiannan's eyes flashed and he pressed the call button.
"Hey, hello. I'm Shen Jiannan. ”
"Hello Mr. Shen. I am the principal secretary of the Wharf Group......
“......”
Local Hong Kong and Taiwan news.
Wharf Group and First International Capital reached an agreement to transfer the Group's entire stake in Standard Chartered Standard Bank for US$900 million, accounting for 14.99% of Standard Bank.
The news has already come out, and the global financial market and banking industry have suddenly triggered violent fluctuations.
Standard Chartered Bank, as one of the note-issuing banks in Hong Kong, has total assets of about US$30.6 billion, and its position in Hong Kong is second only to HSBC, but now, a company has actually eaten 15 percent of the shares of Standard Chartered Bank at a premium of US$700 million.
What does this mean?
It shows that there is capital 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, Marco Polo Hotel.
After Shen Jiannan and Wharf Group signed the equity transfer agreement, they were immediately surrounded by a reporter in the center of the hotel.
"Hello Mr. Shen. In what way do you represent First International Capital?"
Shen Jiannan, who is in a black suit, looks personable, but with such a young and handsome guy, no one will associate him with the actual controller behind Capital One.
The reporter who asked the question was a female reporter, wearing a light blue suit and a pair of slender thighs at the hem, which was very confusing.
Shen Jiannan smiled elegantly, and put his hands in his pockets to pose for a bag.
"People don't think I'm young, but actually, I'm very mature. ”
"Haha!"
The room was full of laughter.
Shen Jiannan's roots are not bad, and his status is not ordinary people, this kind of joke makes people feel very good at once.
The female reporter who was ridiculed also smiled like peach blossoms.
No matter what you say, without this kind of ridicule by a rich boy, it is a matter of pride.
If you can develop it, it will be like waking up with a smile from a dream.
Shen Jiannan didn't have the ability to penetrate his heart, and he didn't know that the female reporter was heartbroken because of his words, so he cleared his throat and started talking nonsense in a serious way.
"This time. I represent First International Capital as a director. ”
"Mr. Shen. First International Capital purchased 15% of Standard Chartered at a premium of US$150 million, what is the reason why your company is so optimistic about Standard Chartered Bank? ”
"Standard Chartered Bank is a long-established bank with a good reputation in the banking industry, and the company's management has always been committed to its shareholders, which is why it has ensured that the shareholders' net income has increased at a rate of 6% per annum.
As one of the three major banks in Hong Kong, Standard Chartered Bank's integrity and fairness ensure the right soil for capital growth, as the safest city in Asia, we believe that with Hong Kong as its base base, Standard Chartered Bank's business will soon spread throughout Asia, and it will bring stable and rich returns to our company. ”
"Mr. Shen. Hello. I'm Zhang Yu, a reporter from CBN Magazine under the stars, have you considered investing in other industries when Capital One came to Hong Kong?"
"Of course. We believe that in Hong Kong, the future development will be better and better, so our company will invest in a number of industries in addition to investment banking. ”
"Has your company considered what industry to invest in?"
"In fact, our company has already reached an acquisition agreement with the largest fruit and vegetable wholesaler in Yau Ma Tei to acquire all the assets of Wan Kee Fruit Wholesale Market for HK$10 million. ”
"Mr. Shen......"
"Everyone, please wait a minute. Which magazine, young lady, did you just say you were a journalist?"
"First Finance under the stars. ”
"Oh. Our company is also very interested in the media industry in Hong Kong, I wonder if this beautiful young lady is interested in waiting with me to talk about the situation of your magazine?"
"Haha......"
Human physiognomy is always very advantageous.
Shen Jiannan is handsome, and he suddenly plays a ruffian, which makes people feel very interesting.
But no one knows, it's a game within a game at all.
Meanwhile.
At the gate of the political secretary, more than a dozen reporters with long guns and short cannons blocked the gate.
Huo De, the chief secretary of the governor, had just walked out of the gate of the political secretary Shu when he was stopped by a group of reporters.
"Director Huo, I heard that there is a senior inspector in the police station who was lynched for the private abuse of the communiqué, I don't know if there is such a thing. ”
"Director Huo, we heard that the police station tortured the citizens who cooperated with the investigation, and sent the person to the hospital for emergency treatment, and I don't know how the police department is going to deal with this matter. ”
"Director Huo. I am Shang Yun, a reporter from CBN under the stars, and a citizen went to the police station to cooperate with the police investigation, but was tortured by a senior police inspector and was seriously injured and hospitalized.
“......”
I look at you horses!
Huo De's heart was itching with hatred.
Damn the first financial under the starry sky, this kind of thing, what do you want me to say.
Secretly slandering to himself, Huo De tried his best to maintain the aristocratic demeanor he deserved.
"On behalf of the Hong Kong government, I would like to apologize to the general public for this incident, and I believe that the Hong Kong government will give a satisfactory explanation to everyone. ”
"The police Shu is a government law enforcement department, and the senior inspector knows the law and abuses the death penalty, what is Secretary Fok's view on the impact on Hong Kong's economy?"
"I apologize for this kind of incident in the police department, but I believe that this kind of incident is only a personal matter, and the police force and the Department of Justice have jointly launched an investigation, and I believe that it will not be long before the general public will give an explanation. ”
"What kind of nourishment will this incident cause to Hong Kong's economy, some citizens think that some people in the Hong Kong Fu Police Force know the law and break the law and deliberately connive at and collude with members of the Gangster Society to attack opponents, what do you think about this matter? ”
"This is malicious slander and speculation, there is a police department and clean government law enforcement supervision, I believe that as long as there is such a black sheep in the police force, it must be severely punished by the law. ”
“......”
Hong Kong Baptist Hospital, ICU Intensive Care Unit.
Peng San held a cigar and smoked it comfortably, not at all like he was seriously injured and vomited blood.
Next to him, Charlie Cao smiled and explained to the doctor in the hospital, and stuffed a stack of thousands of Hong Kong dollars into his hand.
"Third brother. You're so powerful, I'm taken aback. ”
"Generally average. I just deliberately provoked that guy to hit me, who knew he would dare to fight. How about it, can you kill him this time? ”
Charlie Cao smiled like a duck, straightened the gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose and spoke.
"It's a bit difficult to die, but he definitely doesn't want to do it. Li Daxiao has already arranged for a media reporter friend to go over, and he himself admitted to punching you, and the hospital also confirmed that you were seriously injured, and he will have to peel off his skin this time if he doesn't die. ”
"Lao Cao. Why do I think you're so good every time you laugh?"
"I can't move it. ”
"What kind of nonsense are you. By the way, how are Ah Xiu and Xiao Erzi. ”
"Ah Xiu, I've already asked someone to send it back. However, He Tianer may have to be locked up in it for two days, he beat that Charles Walker more badly, and there is direct evidence, now it depends on the results of the police investigation. ”
"Can't you bail people out first?"
"The police station won't let you be released on bail, but don't worry, the boss said he would handle it. The boss said that you had better recuperate here in peace, and it was better to bankrupt the police station. ”
After saying that, Charlie Cao couldn't help laughing.
It's a really popular idea.
The daily medical expenses of the ICU are sky-high, and the person has an accident at the police station, which is enough for them to drink a pot.
