3:10 p.m.!

With less than an hour left before the stock market closes, Pu Weishi dragged his somewhat tired body back to his office, this HSBC meeting seemed very lengthy, but this HSBC high-level meeting was also slightly different from the past, almost every decision, there will be a secretary who recorded the content of the meeting, and conveyed their resolutions.

Increase your holdings of a certain stock, reduce your holdings of a certain stock, help a certain enterprise, or evaluate that a cooperative enterprise cannot be developed.......

At the same time, there is also a special person in the conference room to report on the situation of the Hong Kong stock market at any time.

John Bao returned to his office with Povis, and after the two sat down,

"The matter is finally coming to an end, and if it is really as discussed at the meeting, this stock market crash will not last that long, we still have to hurry up and deploy the Standard Chartered Bank and Newspaper Association!" said Povis.

John Bao nodded and said: "Yes, but today's stock market is also scary enough, there is still an hour before the market closes, and the decline has reached 580 points, which is almost the same as the last stock market crash!"

Pu Weishi showed a rare smile and said: "This is an opportunity, when I just had the meeting, I was already thinking, we can take advantage of this stock market crash, Standard Chartered Bank and those newspaper group shareholders to enter the market when the losses are serious, so that we can minimize the cost of our acquisition!"

John Bao also smiled and said: "Actually, this is thanks to Wu Jianye, if it weren't for him announcing the end of cooperation with several major newspaper groups, how could the stock prices of those newspaper groups fall so seriously!"

Although HSBC is now in partnership with several major newspaper groups, the lower the share prices of several major newspaper groups, the less the price they will have to pay to acquire shares.

Then Povis will no longer choose to wait and see!

"Tell them that HSBC will enter tomorrow!" said Povis.

In fact, according to Pu Weishi's idea, it is to enter the market today, and take advantage of the last hour to sweep the equity of several major newspaper groups, but HSBC is a super bank after all, and although Pu Weishi is a big class, it is not without restrictions, and many procedures will be the earliest tomorrow.

John Bao smiled: "I understand, I believe they have been waiting very anxiously!"

Pu Weishi smiled, the more anxious they are, the more Ganlin will be for them to enter HSBC!

Then Puvis called his secretary.

"Bring Ryan Henderson in!" said Puvis, rubbing his forehead.

Puvis's secretary said with some trepidation, "Mr. Ryan Henderson, left ten minutes ago!"

Pu Weishi was slightly stunned and asked, "Why?"

"Sir, you might as well take a look at the news!"

Pu Weishi looked at his secretary's somewhat unnatural expression, his heart sank slightly, and said, "Turn on the TV!"

The secretary turned on the TV and dialed the ATV financial channel!

After ATV ascended to satellite TV, it is no longer a separate TV station, and now it has been divided into ATV gold channel, which belongs to ATV's first comprehensive channel, which is equivalent to a set of CCTV, followed by ATV Finance, ATV Sports, ATV English, ATV Film and TV four major channels.

On TV, the host of ATV sat there, talking about the news.

"This station has just received the news that Yu Zhi Investment has reached an agreement with the major shareholders of Standard Chartered Bank to acquire the equity of Standard Chartered Bank in the hands of Standard Chartered Bank shareholders at a premium of 20%, and at the same time, this station has also received news that Yu Zhi Investment will hold a press conference tomorrow to announce the news, and Yu Zhi Investment has formally applied to the Xiangjiang Mergers and Acquisitions Committee, and will apply for the full acquisition of the remaining shares of Standard Chartered Bank in the near future, and at the same time submit an application for delisting!"

Like a lightning strike!

Pu Weishi sat there, unable to calm down for a long time.

But then Puvis yelled, "Contact Ryan Henderson immediately!"

It didn't take long for Ryan Henderson's phone to be dialed.

"What's going on over there?" roared Paulvis.

Yu Zhi Investment took advantage of today's stock market crash to contact many shareholders of Standard Chartered Bank, and bought shares of Standard Chartered Bank in their hands, when I went to look for you, they were basically about to reach an agreement, and when your HSBC senior management held a meeting, they signed, and then I received a call from Yan Wen, they already held 71.59% of the shares of Standard Chartered Bank at that time, and there was no point in doing anything else at this time!"

Ryan Henderson's tone was mixed with complaints, and at the same time there was a hint of helplessness, the timing of Yu Zhi's investment choice was too good, at this time, the Xiangjiang stock market was panicked, no one knew what would happen tomorrow, thinking that when he received a call from Yan Wen, the other party raised the matter, which made him even more helpless and frightened!

"Why is it meaningless, as long as you don't agree to sell your own shares in Standard Chartered Bank, they can't buy Standard Chartered Bank entirely, and at the same time, the shares in your hands will be sold, back to the 35% threshold!"

Ryan Henderson said helplessly: "There is a news, there is no report on the news, that is, Standard Chartered Bank has opened up the relationship with the British side, and after Yu Zhi Investment wholly acquires Standard Chartered Bank, it will move the registered place of Standard Chartered Bank to Xiangjiang, which is also a strategy of Yu Zhi Investment, if I do not agree to sell my shares in Standard Chartered Bank, they will announce this decision in advance, at this time most of the equity of Standard Chartered Bank is in the hands of Yu Investment, I have no way to object." ”

Having said that, Pu Weishi has also understood that the situation in Xiangjiang is unstable now, and if Standard Chartered Bank relocates to Xiangjiang, it will make many shareholders panic, and the reason why Yu Zhi Investment did not announce this decision before is to use this trick to deal with Ryan Henderson, and Ryan Henderson obviously does not have much confidence in the future of Heung Jiang, so now he is disheartened!

After hanging up the phone, Puvis fell silent.......

John Bao was observing the whole conversation, and his face was not good-looking at this time, and he also thought of another meaning.

"If Standard Chartered Bank relocates to Hong Kong, then Standard Chartered Bank's status in Hong Kong will be different!"

The reason why Standard Chartered Bank did not keep up with HSBC at the beginning is because HSBC is registered in Xiangjiang, while Standard Chartered Bank is registered in England.

HSBC has taken root in Hong Kong, and has seized the wave of development of Chinese-funded enterprises, beating all banks and becoming the largest banking consortium in Hong Kong.

And now because the time of the return of Xiangjiang is getting closer and closer, many enterprises have a skeptical attitude towards the future of Xiangjiang and have chosen to move away from Xiangjiang, and at this time, if Standard Chartered Bank chooses to move its registered place to Xiangjiang, then it will be a booster for ordinary Xiangjiang citizens, and the status of Standard Chartered Bank will also rise!

"We must find a way to stop this!" said Povis!

John Bao said in a deep voice: "How to stop it?"

He also knows that it needs to be stopped, but how to stop it is the key to the problem.

"To activate our relationship in the UK, first inquire about the relationship between Yu Zhi Investment, and at the same time contact our related companies, I want to make Standard Chartered Bank run on the trend!" Pu Weishi said coldly.

John Bao was very worried and asked: "The run on the tide? It's not easy to make the Standard Chartered Bank run on the trend!"

Pu Weishi: "It's not easy to do, Hong Kong must be HSBC's Hong Kong!"

HSBC can support a lot of businesses, but under the premise of all this, HSBC must be the largest banking group in Hong Kong, and if anyone dares to challenge HSBC's authority, then the shell of HSBC's goodwill will be taken off by them.

John Bao said, "Got it!"

At this time, the phone in Pu Weishi's office rang again, and the ringtone of the phone seemed to be able to tell the owner that the caller was going to say the severity of the matter, although it was the same ringtone, but the ringtone at this time sounded so irritable and anxious.

"Hey, who?" said Povis, pressing the speakerphone, his voice a little impatient.

"Mr. Pu Weishi, no, just now a large amount of money suddenly appeared in the stock market, and all the stocks quoted by our major groups were taken away!" Hu Amaranth's anxious and panicked voice came out on the phone!

"What!"

He felt that everything was not going well today, and the day before, he thought that everything was under control, but in just an hour, everything seemed to be going in the opposite direction.

"Just now, a large amount of money appeared in the stock market, and all the shares of our group were taken away!" Hu Amaran repeated again.

Pu Weishi and John Bao glanced at each other, and they both saw shock in each other's eyes!

"Yiwang Group!" the two said at the same time.

Hu Yuan was on the other end of the phone and asked urgently, "What?"

"The other party is the Yiwang Group!" shouted Pu Weishi!

Who else is there at this time besides Yiwang Group?

"How many shares did they take?"

"It is estimated that they have bought at least 20% of the equity of each group, and they are still buying at this time, and we can't grab each other at all!" Hu said.

At this time, Hu Amaran and others were also completely panicked, because they themselves did not necessarily hold these shares, if they continued at this rate, I believe that when the market closes today, the largest shareholder of their group will be replaced!

And the most important thing is that the other party is still Yiwang Group, if Yiwang Group becomes the largest shareholder of several major newspaper groups, then the fate of Hu Yuan and others is self-evident.

Pu Weishi immediately said: "Contact the major shareholders of your group immediately, and say that our HSBC money will arrive tomorrow, and we can take their shares, as long as they don't sell their shares to Yiwang Group!"

At this time, it is necessary to stabilize the major shareholders of the group, otherwise when the other party contacts with Yiwang Group, HSBC will be completely defeated in the duel between Yiwang and Yaoguang in this duel, which has never happened in the history of HSBC, and if this matter is disclosed, the impact on HSBC will also be huge.

Prestige is something that can't be seen or touched, but it really exists, and it may take decades to build, but if you want to destroy this thing, maybe one day will do!

HSBC must maintain its prestige!

In fact, HSBC has another way to deal with the Yiwang Group, that is, to unite with the Hong Kong government to suppress the Yiwang Group and the Yaoguang Group, and now Wu Jianye's status in the Yaoguang Group and the Yiwang Group has been determined, and Wu Jianye's special identity is bound to make him not have a very good impression of the Hong Kong government.

But at the beginning, the Hong Kong government had scruples, because both the Yaoguang Group and the Yiwang Group had already become a giant, and this time was not the Xiangjiang of the fifties and sixties, and the Hong Kong government wanted to deal with the entire economy of the Yaoguang Group and the Yiwang Group Xiangjiang, and it would definitely be a disaster for the Hong Kong government.

And now Wu Jianye has almost controlled the entire media industry in Xiangjiang, and when they are in charge of their own affairs on weekdays, they may be able to let the Hong Kong government ravage, but now the entire Xiangjiang media industry is in the hands of Wu Jianye, at this time, if you want to unite with the Hong Kong government to deal with Wu Jianye, the power of the media is enough to make the Hong Kong government drink a pot, and it may not wait for Yiwang, Yaoguang has an accident, and the Hong Kong government will be in chaos!

One step late, one step late.......

Ten minutes later, Pu Weishi received a call from Hu Amaran again, and the loneliness in his voice made Pu Weishi's heart lift.

"We have contacted several major shareholders of the group, and some of them have sold their shares to Yiwang Group, and now the least shareholding of Yiwang Group is Master Jin's "Ming Pao", but it has also reached 31% of the equity, and we have lost ........"

Yes!

Several major newspaper groups have failed!

And there is no way to lose, everything seems to have been arranged in advance, since yesterday when there was a problem in the stock market, it was like there was an invisible big hand controlling everything, and all the things they thought were seamless, in front of that big hand, it was like a thousand holes.

Hu Yuan and others still can't understand that many of the major shareholders in the group are partners when their father was there, and the relationship between the two sides has always been good, and some are even their own families, but how can they sell their shares to Wu Jianye?

In fact, this is just that they don't want to understand, in the final analysis, Xiangjiang is a capitalist society, although the shares of several major newspaper groups are in the hands of these shareholders, but these shareholders also have their own business, who does business in Xiangjiang does not take out loans, and the shares in their hands are the best collateral.

When the market is bullish, naturally there is no problem, but once the stock market enters a bear market, the shares they mortgage are their lifeline, and they need a lot of funds to make up for their losses.

In order to avoid risks, banks will definitely target these shares, and now that Yiwang Group has appeared and offered to buy their shares at a premium, will they wait?

Friendship, family affection, at this time will seem extremely fragile.......

"Where did Wu Jianye get so much cash?"

At this time, this question was entangled in Pu Weishi's head, and he couldn't understand that the wholly-owned acquisition of Standard Chartered Bank and now the acquisition of the shares of several major newspaper groups at a premium.

The cash involved will exceed 10 billion Hong Kong dollars!

What he didn't know was that when Wu Jianye decided to do it, the cash reserves of Yiwang Group had already reached an astonishing level, don't forget, before that, Yu Zhi Investment had already begun to cash out the funds in the RB market, and it was with the funds in the RB market that Wu Jianye did not even use the cash reserves of Yaoguang Group to complete this series of operations!

It was the darkest day in the history of HSBC and all newspapers in Hong Kong.

ATV will also officially launch "The Legend of the New White Lady" this evening!
