Cornelia said, "Honey, then you think slowly, but I can give you a candidate for reference." ”

Tang Ming asked, "Who?"

Cornelia said, "Lucy, dear, how are you feeling?"

Tang Ming said in surprise: "Wife, you shouldn't be a roundworm in my stomach, how do you know that I want Lucy in my heart?"

Cornelia said dissatisfiedly: "Who is the roundworm in your stomach, don't say it so disgusting, okay?"

"Okay, okay, I said it wrong, we have a heart, okay. Tang Ming hurriedly bowed his head and admitted his mistake.

Cornelia hummed, forgave him, and then explained to him: "I don't know that your favorite is Lucy, I just think Lucy is suitable, she has worked in the bank for a long time, and she is familiar with the bank's business." ”

Tang Ming nodded and said, "I also thought of Lucy because of this, but she is staying well in China now, I don't know if she wants to come back." ”

Cornelia said lightly: "Think about what to do so much, just ask her if you don't know, if she doesn't want to come back, then change someone else." ”

"That's right, it's almost off work in China now, so I'll call her and ask her. Tang Ming was also anxious, and after speaking, he picked up his mobile phone and walked outside and dialed Lucy's number.

"Hey, boss, how did you remember to call me. Lucy was a little surprised when she received the call, Tang Ming rarely asked about the resort, let alone called her at this time.

Tang Ming said, "Lucy, I have something to discuss with you. ”

Lucy said, "Boss, you say. ”

"Here's the thing, I'm going to invest in a bank in Australia,......" Tang Ming told Lucy about the matter, "Of course, I'm asking for your opinion, it's up to you whether you agree or not, if you want to stay in China and continue to manage the resort, it's okay, I won't force you." ”

Lucy was silent on the other end of the phone for a while before she asked, "Boss, I feel a little sudden, and I can't decide for the time being, you can give me a few days to think about it." ”

Tang Ming hurriedly said: "Of course it's no problem, I haven't thought about which bank I want to invest in yet, so you have enough time to think about it, when you think about it, and when you will tell me." ”

Lucy said, "Okay, thank you, boss. ”

"You're welcome, then I'll hang up. Tang Ming put away his mobile phone, feeling a little embarrassed, Lucy went to China because she divorced her husband, and I don't know if it was right to call her back this time.

Then, Tang Ming called Tony again and asked about Westpac Bank.

The Tony family is only one of the many minority shareholders in Westpac and does not participate in business decisions, so Tony does not know much about the situation in Westpac and cannot give Tang Ming much help.

However, he was very calm about Tang Ming's intention to invest in the bank, and he didn't seem too surprised, and it was normal to think about it carefully, there are hundreds of private banks in the United States, which is not too unusual, and all major consortia have developed with banks as a link, and even Tony's family has private banks in the United States, but the scale is smaller.

……

"It's finally done!" Tang Ming wiped his sweat and sat on the ground.

He worked for two and a half days in a row, and it was only this afternoon that 2,500 tons of water were transported out of the Angolo Mountains.

After resting for a while, he drove Wu Zhishi back to the villa.

As soon as I walked into the house, I saw Ou En and Song Qian sitting in the living room, and couldn't help asking, "When did you come, why didn't you tell me?" ”

"We didn't bother you long ago, knowing that you were working, boss," Orn said. ”

"Well, you sit down for a while, I'm covered in sweat, go take a shower first. Tang Ming finished speaking and went upstairs.

I went back to the bedroom, went to the bathroom and took a shower, and came down refreshed.

Tang Ming sat down next to Ou Eng, saw that there was juice in front of him, poured himself a glass, and asked as he drank, "How is the matter I asked you to check?"

"Boss, this is the information of the four major banks in Australia. Ou En took out a thick stack of materials from his bag and put it in front of Tang Ming.

Tang Ming picked it up, looked at it roughly, and asked, "What do you think?"

Song Qian said: "Boss, I don't have any opinion, in my opinion, there is no difference between these four banks, and you still need the boss to choose which one to invest in." ”

Ou En said: "My opinion is similar to that of Ms. Song, and this matter is decided by the boss." ”

Tang Ming smiled and asked, "You can't have already communicated, right?"

"Nope. Ou En and Song Qian shook their heads at the same time.

"In that case. Tang Ming pondered for a while and said with determination, "I have decided to take a stake in Westpac Bank. ”

"Westpac now has a market capitalisation of less than $90 billion, and most of its shares are scattered among a large number of minority shareholders who can start with and then move on to the board after they have a certain amount of shares," said Oan. ”

Tang Ming decided: "That's it, Ou En, this matter will be left to you, and Song Qian is responsible for assisting you." ”

"Okay, no problem. Owen agreed, "Boss, how much money are you going to spend to buy the shares of Westpac Bank, and do you need to contribute capital from Gaoshan Holdings and the Tang Family Office?"

Tang Ming didn't answer, but asked rhetorically: "How long does it take to acquire shares?"

"I'm not sure, but it's going to take at least a month or two, and I'll need time to convince Westpac's minority shareholders," Orn said. ”

Tang Ming thought for a while and said, "If it takes a month or two, I can come up with 20 billion Australian dollars, and I don't need you to pay." ”

"$20 billion, more than 20 percent of Westpac can be acquired. Although Ou En knew that Tang Ming had a large amount of cash in his hand, he didn't expect it to be so much, and he was very surprised, but he immediately became excited, "If you can acquire more than 20% of Westpac's shares, the boss will become the largest shareholder of Westpac Bank, and automatically become the chairman of Westpac Bank, then Westpac Bank will be under the control of the boss, which will be of great benefit to the development of our company." ”

"The shares are a bit small, not very safe, if there are other shareholders united, it is easy to get out of our control, and in the future I will continue to buy the shares of Westpac until it reaches 51% and becomes the absolute controlling shareholder." Tang Ming felt that the shares he had acquired were too few, but who called the market value of Westpac so high, and the money in his hand was insufficient, two days ago he was still worried about the lack of money and no place to spend it, but today he is dissatisfied with the lack of money and not enough to spend, think about it is really impermanent!
