Chapter Ninety-One: The Ship King
"Because both of you have what I want!"
Su Chenyu told Li Jiacheng his true thoughts, which can be regarded as a frank partner for his future partners.
Li Chaoren listened to Su Chenyu's words, pondered for a while, and then seemed to suddenly think of something.
"Standard Chartered Bank?" Li Chaoren finally spat out a name.
Su Chenyu was not too surprised that Li Chaoren could think of his real goal, after all, the biggest intersection between the ship king and the richest man in Singapore is "Standard Chartered Bank".
For many people, the most heard foreign banks are probably Citigroup, HSBC and UBS, etc., but little is known about Standard Chartered Bank.
The development process of Standard Chartered Bank is very complicated, one will merge with Standard Bank, and the other will sell the shares of Standard Bank, anyway, it is tortuous and abnormal - if you are interested, you can ask "Du Niang".
But when it comes to Standard Chartered Bank, there is one thing that has to be said, and that is that Standard Chartered Bank is one of the note-issuing banks in Hong Kong.
This shows the importance of Standard Chartered Bank's position in Hong Kong, so when the British Rice Bank launched an acquisition of Standard Chartered Bank in 1986, Bao Yugang and Qiu Deba joined forces to repel it.
In Su Chenyu's "Sky Stealing Plan", the bank is a very important part, and he will be the terminal of the whole plan - responsible for laundering all the "Soviet wealth".
At that time, when planning to buy banks, Su Chenyu did not think about attacking some banks in the United States, but the reputation of "Uncle Sam's" "world policeman" was too famous.
Of course, he has not considered such large banks as UBS, Furong Bank, Mitsui Sumitomo Bank, HSBC and so on. However, either the position of these banks is too sensitive, or the consortium behind them is not at all what he can compete with now.
In the end, Su Chenyu found that only Standard Chartered Bank was the most suitable in any aspect, and the most important thing was that the difficulty of acquisition was not particularly great.
"Yes, it's Standard Chartered. Su Chenyu admitted to Li Jiacheng very simply.
Li Jiacheng didn't expect Su Chenyu to be so direct, so he said: "Mr. Su's appetite is not small. β
"Mr. Li said with a smile, I have admired Mr. Boat King for a long time, so this time I mainly met Mr. Boat King. Su Chenyu said with a smile.
"I can introduce you to these two, but I can't interfere with the outcome. Li Jiacheng said after thinking for a while.
Su Chenyu said: "That's natural, as long as Mr. Li can help introduce me, I am very grateful." As for whether I can succeed or not, it's all up to me. β
Li Jiacheng can say this can be regarded as having achieved Su Chenyu's expected goal, and he naturally has a plan for how to persuade the "Boat King" and Singapore's richest man to sell his shares.
The two chatted for a while and then said goodbye to each other, but Li Jia told Su Chenyu that he would inform the two of them when the specific meeting time would be.
When Su Chenyu returned to the mansion, Zhong Chuhong was chatting with a gorgeously dressed middle-aged lady in the garden, and she seemed to be very speculative.
"Ah, dear, are you back?" After Zhong Chuhong saw Su Chenyu coming back, he stood up and said sweetly: "Xiang Tai, let me introduce you, this is my boyfriend Su Chenyu." β
"My dear, this is Xiang Tai Chen Lan. β
Su Chenyu looked at the middle-aged lady with a good face and a plump figure in front of her, and said with a smile: "I have admired the name for a long time, I have long heard that Mr. Xiang's wife is a virtuous helper, and it is indeed worthy of her reputation." β
Mr. Su laughed. Cuong often mentions to me Mr. Su's youth and promisingness, and it was not wrong to see him today. Chen Lan also responded with a smile.
"Honggu, I won't disturb you and Mr. Su's time, I'll leave first. By the way, what I'm talking to you about must be considered. Chen Lan looked at Zhong Chuhong, and then said with a smile: "Mr. Su, I don't know if I will be free in a few days?" Ah Qiang and I want to invite Mr. Su and Honggu to have tea together. β
"No problem!" Su Chenyu said after thinking about it.
"Alright, we'll see you another day. Chen Lan smiled at Zhong Chuhong and said, "Honggu, I'll go first." β
Sending this Xiang Tai away, Su Chenyu couldn't help but secretly say that this woman was really not simple, although she only said a few words in front of him, she did everything just right, and the timing of appearing in the mansion was quite accurate.
After Zhong Chuhong sent Chen Lan away, he said to Su Chenyu: "My dear, Xiang Tai wants to partner with me to open a beauty shop, what do you think?"
"Oh, is there such a thing?" Su Chenyu asked in surprise, "What do you say?"
"Xiang Tai said that she has some private money in her hands recently, so she wants to partner with me to open a beauty shop. She said that I don't need to manage the specific affairs of the beauty shop, and I just need to make endorsements in addition to investing some money. Zhong Chuhong told Chen Lan all her plans.
Su Chenyu naturally understood the true purpose of this Xiang Tai, but it was obvious that there was no need to point it out, so he asked, "My dear, how do you feel about yourself?"
"I feel good!" Zhong Chuhong obviously liked this matter, she said happily: "Although I can earn a lot of money every year now, I won't have so much energy and things to make money when we have a baby in the future." So it's not a bad idea to find a stable investment project now!"
Looking at Zhong Chuhong, who was sweetly thinking about her future life, Su Chenyu suddenly felt extremely happy, and secretly said in her heart: This life will never live up to it.
"Don't worry, whether you film or not in the future, I will be able to raise you and your baby for nothing. Su Chenyu grabbed Zhong Chuhong, hugged him on his lap and said, "But if you want to work with Xiang Tai, it's not a bad thing, as long as you're happy." β
"I hate it, people don't want you to raise it. Zhong Chuhong slapped Su Chenyu's chest shyly and said, "In this case, I will work with Xiang Tai?"
"No problem. Su Chenyu said: "Is there enough money?
"Of course. There's a lot of money left in the account. Zhong Chuhong lay in Su Chenyu's arms and said lazily.
During the period of waiting for Li Chaoren's news, Su Chenyu has not been idle, he is in Hong Kong to control an incident on the Australian mainland. Soon the news of Li Chaoren came over, and the "Boat King" decided to meet Su Chenyu at the Hyatt Hotel three days later.
I won't go into too much detail about the deeds of the "King of Boats", anyway, as long as you know that when the "King of Boats" Bao Yugang made a big deal, Li Chaocai had just become a trend, and he knew how powerful the "King of Boats" was.
Moreover, the relationship between the "ship king" in the mainland is absolutely leveraged, and it is a "great god" who can become good friends with the No. 1 chief. Therefore, Su Chenyu still attaches great importance to meeting Mr. Bao Yugang, the "King of Boats".
Su Chenyu came to the Hyatt Regency Hotel early, which shows his respect and attention to the old gentleman Cheng DΓΉ, the "King of Boats".
The "King of the Boat" arrived on time half an hour later, and Superman Li arrived with the King of the Boat, which obviously made the general manager of Hyatt pay great attention to it.
"I have heard the name of 'Boat King' for a long time, and today I finally saw it. Su Chenyu hurriedly greeted him and said.
Li Chaoren introduced at this time: "Brother Bao, this is Su Chenyu." β
"Hello!" After Bao Yugang shook hands with Su Chenyu, he said with a smile: "Mr. Su's name is also thunderous. β
"Don't dare to be, Mr. Bao and Mr. Li, please!" Su Chenyu hurriedly let the two into the box.
After the three of them came in and sat down, Li Chaoren, the middleman, took the initiative to play the role of "waiter" and poured a cup of kung fu tea for each of them.
"Mr. Bao, Mr. Li should tell you what I mean, right? I don't know what you think?" After Su Chenyu took a sip of tea, he put down the cup and said straight to the point.
Bao Yugang was not in a hurry to express his position, and after listening to Su Chenyu's words, he turned the teacup with both hands, and then said: "If I don't sell those shares, how will Mr. Su deal with me?"
Su Chenyu didn't expect Bao Yugang to suddenly say this, but he didn't answer this question immediately, but changed the topic and said: "Actually, whether I can take Mr. Bao's more than ten percent of the shares is no different to me now." β
"Ao? What do you say?" Bao Yugang was interested at this moment, so he asked.
"I wonder if Mr. Bao has noticed any changes in the stock price of Standard Chartered Bank in recent months?" asked Su Chenyu.
Bao Yugang thought about it and said: "Standard Chartered's stock price has fluctuated very much in recent times. β
"Mr. Bu Bao said that I have directly controlled the stock market or its fund to sweep away almost all the outstanding shares on the stock market. In other words, I now own nearly 40% of the shares of Standard Chartered Bank, making me the largest individual shareholder in the actual sense. Su Chenyu released a big bomb.
Not only was Bao Yugang shocked by Su Chenyu's words, but even Li Jiacheng, who was drinking tea, was also stunned, obviously the two didn't expect Su Chenyu to play so much behind his back.
However, Su Chenyu didn't seem to care about the surprise of the two, and continued to drop a big bomb: "Just before I came to see Mr. Bao, there was a news from Australia. Robert?? Mr. Houm has sold his 11% stake in Standard Chartered Bank to me because his company is in dire need of cash. β
"So, now I own more than 50% of the shares in Standard Chartered Bank. Su Chenyu turned the teacup and said seemingly casually: "Therefore, the shares in Mr. Bao's hands are no longer as important to me as I thought before." β
Bao Yugang obviously didn't expect Su Chenyu to start so quickly, he was worried just now that the young man in front of him would buy Robert?? The shares in Houm's hand came to force the palace himself, but he didn't expect to succeed.
"Then why do you want to buy my shares? You must know that I only have 14.5% in my hands, so it shouldn't pose any threat to you, right?" Bao Yugang said lightly.
Li Jiacheng also looked at Su Chenyu, wanting to see what this young man thought?
"I'm not afraid of the jokes of the two elders, the kid has a natural sense of insecurity about everything that can't be completely controlled. So, now that I've decided to take a shot at Standard Chartered Bank, it's not just a matter of taking a stake. Su Chenyu didn't hide it in the slightest this time, and said matter-of-factly.
"Do you want to privatize Standard Chartered Bank?" Li Jiacheng said in surprise as he put down the teacup in his hand.
Bao Yugang on the side also looked at Su Chenyu with some shock.
Su Chenyu didn't admit or deny it, just smiled and blew the tea in the cup and took a sip lightly.
"I know that the two of you are worried about the involvement of the British government and the Hong Kong government, after all, Standard Chartered Bank is one of the note-issuing banks in Hong Kong, and it is also an established bank in the UK. What's more, John Bull's pride is also difficult to accept that a Chinese is in charge of an old British bank. Su Chenyu looked at Bao Yugang and Li Jiacheng and said with a smile: "You don't have to worry about this. The privatization of Standard Chartered Bank is not now, the next step is to take full control of Standard Chartered Bank. It won't be long before the passage to 10 Downing Street is opened, and I'm sure the British government will be happy to do so. β
Li Jiacheng and Bao Yugang glanced at each other, and they both saw each other's thoughts from each other's eyes - this young man was eclectic, and even a little unscrupulous.
"These don't seem to have much to do with me, right?" Bao Yugang immediately responded to Su Chenyu.
Su Chenyu smiled, and then said: "I know that Mr. Bao's main industry is absolutely controlled by the Bao family, and it is difficult to meddle in it." But to put it mildly, will Mr. Bao always shelter his children and grandchildren from the wind and rain?"
"Obviously not, once Mr. Bao is a hundred years later, the Bao family will not know what to do at that time. Su Chenyu said it very easily, but the words exploded in Bao Yugang's ears.
Bao Yugang has no children under his knees, only four daughters, and the only one who best meets his own requirements and can inherit his own property is the second son-in-law. But as an old man, he is always worried about his children, so he is most worried that his son-in-law is too immature compared with the older generation of "human spirits".
"Are you threatening me?" The gleam in Bao Yugang's eyes flashed, and the power formed by the long-term rush suddenly rushed towards Su Chenyu.
Su Chenyu was not afraid, but said lightly: "Of course not, I just want to give the ship king a wake-up call." But if the ship king is really worried, he can take care of me first. β
"But what about the consequences...... Su Chenyu sneered and muttered.
Bao Yugang and Li Jiacheng looked at each other, and they understood each other's meanings.
Bao Yugang wanted to do something to Su Chenyu, but this guy's industry is all about funds and investments. Moreover, Su Chenyu's X Fund and EX Fund are really worrying in the stock market crash, which is like a wandering "bandit" without a trace - once it can't kill the other party, it will be an endless disaster.
"Of course, if Mr. Bao can sell me a thin noodle, he will definitely write down this favor. I can give Mr. Bao or his descendants a promise that once the Bao family has a crisis in the future, he will definitely help him. Su Chenyu gave his final price, you must know that in the business world, personal debts are the most difficult to repay.
"How is Mr. Bao?"
Su Chenyu looked at the pensive Bao Yugang and asked......
