On January 18, at 9 a.m., in the conference hall on the first floor of Lin's Millennium Building, Lin's Holding Group and Standard Chartered Bank jointly held a press conference here.

The reporters who came to attend the press conference came to the Lin Millennium Building with ignorance and dazed thoughts at first, Lin Cheng has not made any moths in the recent period, and it has only returned to Xiangjiang in the past six months and these two days, what major news needs to be announced at a press conference?

However, when Lin Cheng and Standard Chartered Bank Asia Pacific President McDons appeared on the rostrum of the press conference together, reporters had already faintly begun to speculate in their hearts: Could it be that Lin Cheng's poisonous hand has reached out to Standard Chartered Bank, which has a history of more than 100 years?

Oh my God!

No way...... This is one of the three major banks in Hong Kong that have the right to issue Hong Kong dollars!

In Xiangjiang, although Standard Chartered Bank's reputation and strength are not as great as HSBC and Bank of China, as a Standard Chartered Bank with the right to issue Hong Kong dollars, it undoubtedly has a very high status in Xiangjiang society.

Although it is unbelievable, but this is the truth, Lin Cheng and Madons did not beep much, and the theme of this press conference was announced to everyone at the beginning of the press conference: Lin Cheng became the absolute controlling shareholder of Standard Chartered Bank with 66.7% of the shares, and automatically became the chairman of the board of directors of Standard Chartered Bank.

This time, although Lin Cheng controlled the vast majority of the shares of Standard Chartered Bank, he did not forcefully demand that Standard Chartered Bank be delisted from the stock markets of the United Kingdom, India and Xiangjiang, after all, Standard Chartered Bank is a commercial bank, and the interests of depositors and investors are very important.

On the rostrum, Lin Cheng talked eloquently: "Lin's holding of Standard Chartered Bank is of great significance, it is a strong alliance, and it will have a far-reaching impact on the strategic layout of both parties.

Standard Chartered Bank, as an international bank with the right to issue Hong Kong dollars, will not only continue to deepen the already dominant Asian and African financial markets, but also counterattack European and American countries, open more financial institutions in Europe and the United States, and become a leading international bank in Europe and the United States.

The Lam Group in the Mainland and the Lam Holding Group in Heung Kong will also use the financial channels of Standard Chartered Bank to implement the policy of going out more boldly, compete with first-class enterprises in the world, promote the prestige of our country, and make the reputation of Made in China resound all over the world!

Of course, as the so-called humble position does not forget to worry about the country, I, Lin Cheng, as a Chinese, was born in the mainland and grew up in Xiangjiang, and will always take special care of enterprises in the mainland and Xiangjiang.

Mainland enterprises or Xiangjiang enterprises encounter difficulties in overseas development, I Lin Cheng can help, and I will definitely support the development of the Chinese people, after all, hello everyone, is it really good!

It is not easy for us Chinese to develop overseas, so we must unite and support each other to make Chinese enterprises grow stronger and stronger!"

To this day, Lin Cheng's ability to pour poisonous chicken soup is no less than that of Ma Yun in later generations, originally a normal commercial acquisition, but Lin Cheng rose to the level of the country and the nation, these words Xiangjiang people do not have much feeling, but Lin Cheng still has to talk more, after all, when it is transmitted back to China, it can also brush up the goodwill of the bosses of state-owned enterprises.

As we all know, due to the strict control of foreign exchange by the Chinese government, the overseas mergers and acquisitions of Chinese enterprises, especially state-owned enterprises, are often unable to arrive in time due to foreign exchange control, resulting in the failure of overseas mergers and acquisitions.

Lin Cheng's Standard Chartered Bank was able to solve this big problem, thanks to the Asian financial crisis and the collapse of the Nasdaq stock market, Lin Cheng made hundreds of billions of dollars in these two financial storms.

On the other hand, according to the statistics of later generations, as of January 2001, the country's foreign exchange reserves were only 168.6 billion US dollars, that is, Lin Cheng alone has more US dollars than the country's foreign exchange reserves.

If state-owned enterprises want to implement overseas mergers and acquisitions, but suffer from a shortage of foreign exchange, then Lin Cheng's Standard Chartered Bank can stand up to solve the problem, and Lin Cheng can even get involved in individual stocks or something, which is absolutely convenient.

Next, in the free question session, media reporters asked Lin Cheng all kinds of strange questions, and the other protagonist of this press conference, McDons, president of Standard Chartered Bank Asia Pacific, was ignored by Chiguodi.

However, Adams has no complaints, after all, in order to calm people's hearts, Lin Cheng has announced that McDons has been promoted to vice president of Standard Chartered Bank, Lin Cheng has become the new boss of McDons, as an employee, how dare Adams steal the limelight with the boss?!

……

With the news of Lin Cheng's holding of Standard Chartered Bank at the press conference was announced, after Lin Cheng was silent for a period of time, his name began to circulate in Xiangjiang again, and Lin Cheng's holding of Standard Chartered Bank became a hot topic in Hong Kong's business and financial circles that day.

After all, Standard Chartered Bank is based in Hong Kong and is one of the three major banks that hold the right to issue Hong Kong dollars, and Standard Chartered Bank has a history of more than 100 years.

Now, Standard Chartered Bank, a veteran British bank with more than 100 years of glory, has fallen into the hands of Lin Cheng, and while he is deeply shocked, he also has to sigh: If you have money, you can really do whatever you want.

As for the Xiangjiang media, it is like a carnival, first of all, the more time-sensitive TVB, Xiangjiang Radio, Phoenix Satellite TV, New ATV, Commercial Radio, Metro Radio and other audio-visual media have been reported repeatedly.

Either they invited a large group of old employees and depositors of Standard Chartered Bank to look back on the glorious years when these people grew up with Standard Chartered Bank, or they invited a large group of brick makers to analyze the significant impact of Lin Cheng's holding of Standard Chartered Bank on the business and financial circles of Hong Kong, and make optimistic or pessimistic forward-looking prospects.

After the big news of Lin Cheng's holding of Standard Chartered Bank was first reported by TV and radio stations, and after the written media such as "Daily Express", "Oriental Daily", "Ming Pao", "Ta Kung Pao" and "Sing Tao Daily" were unwilling, reporters from all walks of life went out to interview people from all walks of life in Hong Kong to talk about their views on Lin Cheng Holding Standard Chartered Bank, so as to make full preparations for tomorrow's newspaper and media war.

In short, Lin Cheng Holdings Standard Chartered Bank, the shock caused by Hong Kong is absolutely unimaginable, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as a Hong Kong-wide shock.
