"How's it going with the Kyushu Bank Group?"

In Rong Le's office, Rong Le and Wu Weihao sat opposite each other, the affairs of Dongying have entered a stable period, Wu Weihao no longer has to stay in Dongying, and now he has handed over the affairs of Dongying to the professional team management there, and now Wu Weihao's position is the vice president of Kyushu Bank Group, and he is familiar with the business of Kyushu Bank Group.

"I have just started to take on some small projects, and I am studying hard!" said Wu Weihao.

Now Wu Weihao's time is left for his wife Li Ping and his daughter, almost all the time is studying hard, Rong Le once told him that five to seven years later, Wu Weihao will be arranged to become the head of Kyushu Bank Group, and this time is Wu Weihao's study time.

"Yes, Kyushu Bank Group is a very important part of the head office in the future, and I am relieved that it will be handed over to other people, so you have to study carefully. Rong Le said.

"Don't worry, Brother Le!" Wu Weihao said firmly, he was born in a military and knew very well that as long as he went to the battlefield, there was no possibility of retreating, what he had to do was to work hard to win the war.

"Very good, then let me test you, how much do you know about Standard Chartered Bank?" Rong Le asked.

"Standard Chartered Bank is the first batch of British banks to enter Xiangjiang, headquartered in London, just entered Xiangjiang, Chinese translated as India New Gold Mountain Huaxia Bank, but in 1911, the Chinese name was changed to India New Gold Mountain Huaxia Standard Chartered Bank, referred to as Standard Chartered Bank, in 1969 Standard Bank and Standard Chartered Bank merged, the establishment of Standard Chartered stock listed companies, after the merger of the two banks, his branches throughout Europe, Argentina, Canada, Panama, Nepal and the United States, while Standard Chartered Bank also acquired the United Bank of California in the United States to obtain the opportunity to enter Brazil, Venezuela。 ”

"However, the business of Standard Chartered Bank is more in Xiangjiang, and the business of Xiangjiang accounts for more than seventy percent of Standard Chartered Bank, and Standard Chartered Bank is also one of the note-issuing banks in Xiangjiang, and now has 118 branches in Xiangjiang, and the number of deposits should be about 60 billion Hong Kong dollars, because Standard Chartered Bank is a public listed company, and there is no family major shareholder, now the largest shareholder of Standard Chartered Bank is Ryan Henderson, holding 12.3% of the shares At the same time, Ryan Henderson is still the current senior class of Standard Chartered Bank, whose market value is about 14 billion Hong Kong dollars, ranking 99th among the world's top 100 banks this year......"

Wu Weihao talked eloquently about the situation of Standard Chartered Bank, Rong Le nodded again and again, and asked: "What about the British Rice Bank, how much do you know?"

"As one of the four major settlement banks in the UK, Rice Bank is naturally strong, do you have any plans, Brother Le?" Wu Weihao asked, he didn't know much about the British Rice Bank, but now Rong Le asked about Standard Chartered Bank and Rice Bank one after another, Wu Weihao thought that according to Rong Le's character, there must be some actions.

Rong Le was pleased with Wu Weihao's sensitivity, and said with a smile: "Yes, I recently got the news that Rice Bank is ready to acquire Standard Chartered Bank!"

As a commercial bank, Standard Chartered Bank has the right to issue notes in Xiangjiang and exercises some rights that should belong to the central bank.

"It's not easy for Rice Bank to buy Standard Chartered Bank!" said Ng Wai Ho.

Although Standard Chartered Bank does not have a major family shareholder and its headquarters is also in London, Standard Chartered Bank, as the note-issuing bank of Xiangjiang, has long been considered by Xiangjiang people to be the bank of Xiangjiang.

Suddenly, Wu Weihao looked at Rong Le and asked in shock: "Brother Le, do you want to take this opportunity to acquire Standard Chartered Bank?"

Rong Le laughed, Wu Weihao really understood himself, and said: "Yes, I have this meaning, since the people of Xiangjiang regard Standard Chartered Bank as the bank of the people of Xiangjiang, then there will definitely be no problem for me to acquire Standard Chartered Bank!"

Wu Weihao shook his head and said: "I'm afraid things are not so simple, although Standard Chartered Bank does not have a family bank, but the management of Standard Chartered Bank has a very strict control over Standard Chartered Bank, and most of the directors also trust the management of Standard Chartered Bank very much, even if we acquire a part of the equity of Standard Chartered Bank, it is very difficult to control Standard Chartered Bank!"

"And if Standard Chartered Bank senses your idea, it is very likely that it will propose a rights issue to raise funds, and it will definitely be a tough battle at that time!" Wu Weihao analyzed.

"It's not a problem, in the end it's just a matter of burning money, I want to see if the shareholders of Standard Chartered have the financial resources to fight with us!" Rong Le said domineeringly, with the ATM of Dongying, Rong Le really doesn't worry about the shareholders of Standard Chartered Bank.

Seeing that Rongle was so confident, Wu Weihao smiled happily: "If we can really acquire Standard Chartered Bank, then our Kyushu Bank Group can really compete with HSBC!"

"Yes, but although we don't care about the management of Standard Chartered Bank, but in order to avoid jumping over the wall, we only invested in Standard Chartered Bank in the early stage, not to acquire, and now your task is to secretly acquire the shares of Standard Chartered Bank, according to my information, Rice Bank should act soon, we must seize the opportunity." Rong Le said.

"I understand!" Wu Weihao said excitedly.

......

As Rong Le said, immediately after the Queen left Hong Kong, Rice Bank announced the acquisition of Standard Chartered Bank.

As soon as the news came out, the entire Xiangjiang couldn't calm down, and asked the white warriors to show up, and at this time, many wealthy people paid full attention to this matter.

Among them, Hong Kong's charter boat king, Singapore's Khoo Teck Job, and Australia's Robert have all said that they will become white knights to help Standard Chartered Bank.

At this time, Rongle convened a meeting of the board of directors of the Kyushu Bank Group, Huo Zhenting, the representative of the Huo family, the representative of the Zheng family, Zheng Jiachun, the representative of the Li family, Li Jiade, the representative of the Li family, Li Guolin, the representative of the Guo family, Guo Bingxiang, the representative of the Luo family, Luo Chengcheng, the representative of the Xu family, Xu Jingan, the representative of the Hu family, Hu Yingyan, the representative of the He family, He Hongshen, the representative of the Lei family, Lei Juekun, and He Gongzi of Haojiang!

At the conference, Rongle directly announced that Kyushu Bank Group will officially invest in Standard Chartered Bank!

"Rongsheng, Kyushu Bank Group just got out of the predicament last year, with a profit of less than 500 million Hong Kong dollars, is it a bit hasty to want to acquire Standard Chartered Bank?" Zheng Jiachun said.

The top richest people in Xiangjiang have begun to cultivate the second generation of their families, which can be seen from their intention to let the second generation of these families take the initiative to participate in the business with Rongle.

"Although the equity of Standard Chartered Bank is relatively dispersed, we also have to face several important opponents now, especially Rice Bank from England, and the management of Standard Chartered Bank, I think Rongsheng should also know, so I think it is not a good opportunity to invest in Standard Chartered Bank now!" Xu Jingan also put forward his own opinions.

"Rongsheng, are we too anxious, now that Rice Bank has announced the acquisition of Standard Chartered Bank, if we do this, we will directly face Rice Bank, Charter King, Qiu Deba, Robert and other forces, this battle is not easy to fight, and Kyushu Bank Group has just begun to make a profit now, and the group does not have so much cash!" Lei Juekun also put forward his own opinions.

Kyushu Bank Group was able to turn losses into profits in a year, in fact, it was also borrowed from the spring breeze of the Plaza Agreement, when Rong Le and others fought in the foreign exchange market, on the battlefield of Xiangjiang, with the seven banks under the Kyushu Bank Group as the main force, and it was precisely in this way that it took a year to turn the Kyushu Bank Group into profits.

Huo Zhenting said with a smile: "I think it is a very good time to invest in Standard Chartered Bank, now it took only one year for Kyushu Bank Group to turn Kyushu Bank Group into a profit, at this time the citizens of Xiangjiang are very trusting of Kyushu Bank Group, if we can buy or even acquire Standard Chartered Bank, then Kyushu Bank Group will be able to have the status of HSBC in Xiangjiang, then it is definitely a very good news for Kyushu Bank Group!"

Hu Yingyan also nodded in agreement with Huo Zhenting's proposal.

He Gongzi thought for a while and said: "The acquisition of Standard Chartered Bank is not a trivial matter, it is true that Standard Chartered Bank is now the 99th among the world's top 100 banks, if it can acquire Standard Chartered Bank, it will definitely be more beneficial than disadvantageous for Kyushu Bank Group, but Kyushu Bank Group has just begun to make a profit, the group's cash is limited, and if you want to fully acquire Standard Chartered Bank, the funds used will exceed 15 billion Hong Kong dollars, which is not a small amount!"

Then everyone expressed their opinions, some agreed to the acquisition, and some thought that it could be slowed down and there was no need to be in such a hurry......

After waiting for everyone to express their opinions, Rong Le said with a smile: "My idea is that the board of directors will raise funds through a collective rights issue and recruit external shareholders to join the Kyushu Bank Group, so that we can have enough funds to acquire Standard Chartered Bank!"

"Rongsheng, I would like to ask, how determined are you to take a stake in Standard Chartered Bank?" asked Guo Bingxiang.

Rongle has an absolute controlling stake in Kyushu Bank Group, holding 85% of the equity of Kyushu Bank Group, Rongle's words in Kyushu Bank Group are a word, if Rongle really decides to acquire Standard Chartered Bank, even if everyone is against it, it actually has no effect, so Guo Bingxiang will ask.

The other shareholders also looked at Rongle, and if Rongle was really determined to take a stake in Standard Chartered Bank, they would also have to consider their own situation, whether to agree to Rongle's suggestion or sell their shares in the Kyushu Bank Group to Rongle or other shareholders.

Rong Le smiled: "In my opinion, it is imperative to invest in Standard Chartered Bank!"

Everyone understands that Rongle convened a meeting of the board of directors of Kyushu Bank Group, in fact, it is more to inform everyone of their decision, but there is no way, when they invested in Kyushu Bank Group, everyone knew that Rongle had control over Kyushu Bank Group, and now that Rongle has made up his mind to acquire Standard Chartered Bank.

Then the rest of everyone will be clear, whether they should follow Rongle to continue his acquisition journey, or quit!

He Hongshen opened his mouth and asked: "Rongsheng, you said that other shareholders will be introduced, I want to ask, I don't know who Rongsheng wants to invite to the board of directors of Kyushu Bank Group?"

Rong Le smiled: "Of course, it's still the master of our Han Tang Association!"

"Rongsheng, if we take a stake in Standard Chartered Bank, how much do we need to issue shares in the early stage?" asked Rod Cheng.

Everyone knows that investing in Standard Chartered Bank is not a short process, it will be a long-term battle, and if you want to join it, then you should have a long-term plan.

Rong Le smiled: "Now the market value of Standard Chartered Bank is about 14 billion Hong Kong dollars, if we want to invest in Standard Chartered Bank, then at least 3 billion Hong Kong dollars will be needed in the early stage!"

Rongle holds 85% of the shares in Kyushu Bank Group, 5% of the Huo family, and 1% of the rest, which means that if everyone agrees to Rongle's plan, Rongle needs to provide 2.55 billion Hong Kong dollars, while the Huo family is 150 million Hong Kong dollars, and the rest of them have to come up with 30 million Hong Kong dollars.

30 million is actually not much for each family, everyone is worried about the follow-up plan, and Rongle is so rapid expansion, they are worried that Rongle is now a shareholder of Standard Chartered Bank, so what will happen in the future? Is it really as Huo Zhenting said, the acquisition of Standard Chartered Bank?

Although the market value of Standard Chartered Bank is only 14 billion Hong Kong dollars, if it is really forced to acquire it in the end, then the funds involved are not as simple as 14 billion Hong Kong dollars, and it is conservatively estimated that it will exceed 20 billion Hong Kong dollars.

How many large consortia have fallen on the road of rapid expansion, and Jianing Group is the best example a few years ago.

After the board meeting of the Kyushu Bank Group, Rongle convened a meeting of the Hantang Society, and the other members of the Hantang Association were also surprised when they heard Rongle's plan.

Unexpectedly, Rongle's madness last year did not end, but put forward a more crazy plan this year, and he actually wanted to invest in Standard Chartered Bank, even if Standard Chartered Bank is now much behind HSBC, but Standard Chartered Bank is one of the note-issuing banks in Xiangjiang after all!

However, there are still people who immediately said that they would join in, this is Zhao Shizeng, He Hongyi, Liu Luanxiong, Yang Shoucheng, Dong Gongzi Five, the five of them plus Huo Zhenting, are all people who have made a lot of money with Rong Le in Dongying, and they have long had no doubts about Rong Le's ability, and they know Rong Le's financial resources better than others.

Previously, because they wanted to devote themselves to the Dongying market, they did not join the Kyushu Bank Group, and now that they have this opportunity, it is naturally impossible to let it go.

And another thing that surprised Rong Le was Li Qingfang, he had already regretted not joining the Kyushu Bank Group before, and later found Rong Le who wanted to join the Kyushu Bank Group, but he didn't succeed, and now with this opportunity, he naturally won't give up!

The rest of the people did not immediately express their position, but among the people, there was still one party who seemed a little absent-minded, that is, the charter king$article! ", WeChat pays attention to "excellent reading literature", chatting about life, looking for confidants~
