"Xiao Min, what do you think Mommy is wearing this dress today?" Zhou Mu leaned against the car door so that Zhou Huimin could see more clearly.

Zhou Huimin turned her head and looked at it, and said with a smile: "Good-looking, you usually don't like to dress up, otherwise you will be a young woman with still charm." ”

"Young woman, pure nonsense. Mother Zhou scolded with a smile, don't say it, although the corners of Zhou's mother eyes have been covered with clear crow's feet, you can still see the shadow of her youth, she must be a beautiful woman, no wonder she can give birth to such a pure and beautiful daughter as Zhou Huimin.

After a while, Zhou Huimin's car stopped in front of the zebra crossing and waited for the traffic light, and when she saw that her mother was silent, she asked with a smile: "Mommy, you won't be nervous, right?" ”

"Still laughing, Mommy is not for you, after all, Ah Xiong is not an ordinary person, Mommy is afraid of embarrassing you. Zhou's mother said sullenly.

"Don't worry, Ah Xiong is not that kind of person, he is very easy-going with his people and friends. Zhou Huimin could feel her mother's heart.

"If it's like you said, of course, it's the best, today Mommy is mainly to see his personality, if his character can, and can guarantee your happiness, Mommy also admits it, after all, you can have today's situation because of him, otherwise our mother and daughter are probably still suffering." ”

"But if his character is not good, Mommy will not agree, he is rich, but he is so attentive, I can't let you jump into the fire pit. ”

At this time, the green light turned on, Zhou Huimin stepped on the accelerator and drove out, and said at the same time: "Mommy, you still don't believe me, Brother Xiong is really good." ”

Mother Zhou glanced at Zhou Huimin, who was driving, sighed, and said: "If you enter the Wei family in the future, Mommy will definitely rest assured in terms of life, but for a woman, it is not enough to have a material life alone, and before you were born, your father fell ill and died." ”

"In the past 20 years, Mommy has not thought about finding another man, but every time the thought arises, it is extinguished, because I am worried that you will be wronged. Later, although + dǐng + diǎn + small + said, .2∧3.↑os_(); However, in the dead of night, sometimes I feel lonely and lonely, but I can endure it, and 20 years have passed in a blink of an eye. ”

Hearing these words, Zhou Huimin's eyes couldn't help but turn red, she knew what her mother meant, and she also knew why her mother was so worried: "Mommy, let you suffer, don't be sorry for me, Ah Xiong is very powerful, and he won't snub me." ”

When she said the second half of the sentence, Zhou Huimin's face was already flushed, like a boiled shrimp. Thanks to their mother and daughter for 20 years, they have been dependent on each other, and they usually talk about everything, otherwise with her thin skin, she really can't say such a thing.

"What are you shy about with Mommy, you used to take a shower with Mommy a few years ago. Alas, it's good that I won't snub you, I'm afraid that he has too many women and can't do it. It is said that they pity the hearts of parents all over the world, and Zhou's mother is more worried about Zhou Huimin's choice.

If it was possible, she would rather Zhou Huimin's husband be an ordinary person, but she could see that Zhou Huimin had fallen too deep, even if she objected, it would not lead to anything, but would only add unnecessary incidents. So she has always been the default attitude.

Taking a step back, she raised Zhou Huimin so much by herself, if Zhou Huimin can really marry into a wealthy family and live a rich and happy life, she will also be happy.

……

Wei Xiong was more than ten minutes ahead of the agreed time, and served the dishes first, and it didn't take long for Zhou Huimin to lead a middle-aged woman into the box.

"Hello, Auntie. ”

"Mr. Wei......"

"Auntie, it's okay if you call me Ah Xiong, please take a seat. Wei Xiong's attitude was quite upright, and he personally helped Zhou's mother pull out the chair.

"Thank you. ”

Mother Zhou had a smile on her face, and her first impression of Wei Xiong was very good. At the same time, his eyes kept looking at Wei Xiong, looking around.

Because there are instructions to prepare the dishes first.

So not long after Zhou Huimin and Zhou's mother sat down, the first dish was delivered.

"Auntie, I respect you first. ”

Wei Xiong picked up his wine glass and motioned to Zhou's mother: "It's been almost two years since I started dating Xiao Min, and I should have met you a long time ago." ”

"But I've been too busy to put it off until today, I hope you don't forgive me. ”

Mother Zhou smiled and said, "It doesn't matter if you see you early or late, as long as you are good to Xiaomin." ”

"This aunt, please rest assured. ”

"I really love Xiaomin, no matter what, I will give her happiness, and I will give her a name in the future, and I will not let her be wronged. ”

……

After more than a week of preparation.

Under the command of Gu Guofu, Weishi Investment has secretly absorbed 13.74% of the shares from the stock market, but this is already the limit.

November 27th

On this day, the Hong Kong stock market opened as usual.

The first ten minutes are normal, because it has been more than a month since the stock market crash, and most of the stocks that fell in the stock market crash have returned to the state before the stock market crash.

After all, Hong Kong's economy has been doing well in the past two years.

The reason why the stock market plummeted was only due to the impact of the US stock market crash, not that Hong Kong's economy itself had problems, so it recovered relatively quickly.

10 diǎn 11 points.

Standard Chartered shares, which had been trending slightly upward, suddenly turned green.

Then the quote fell rapidly.

In the stock exchange, many investors who invested in Standard Chartered Bank saw this, their faces suddenly changed, and they hurriedly ran to the trader and threw away the stocks.

And this panic sell-off has exacerbated the decline of stocks.

……

"How many acquisitions?"

"Boss, 16.7 percent in total. A trader calculated and told Gu Guofu the result.

Wei Xiong, who was next to him, couldn't help frowning when he heard this, it was a little worse than expected, he raised his hand and looked at his watch, there were still 40 minutes before the noon break.

"Put the order out and don't care about the cost. ”

"Yes, Mr. Wei. ”

……

The stock of Standard Chartered Bank, which had plummeted, suddenly turned around and rose at 11diǎn24 minutes.

And the increase is very large.

It quickly surpassed the price at the opening of the session today and is still rising.

By this time, many people had already seen that something was wrong.

It's clear that someone is taking over Standard Chartered Bank in a hostile manner, just like last year's Rice Bank, and the war seems to be happening to Standard Chartered Bank again.

……

"Mr. Bright, something is wrong. ”

The assistant violently pushed open the office door.

"Something happened to make you so panicked. "Cole?? Bright asked with a frown.

"There's a big buy-up of our shares in the stock market. ”

"Oh damn it, what's wrong with it again. "Cole?? Bright was shocked when he heard this, immediately stood up, walked quickly towards the investment department, and instructed his assistant as he went:

"You mobilize all the money you can at once, immediately. ”

"Yes. ”

The assistant didn't dare to slack off, and hurried back to his office to make a phone call, executive Cole?? Bright's order, his face was filled with panic.

Because he remembered last year.

Under the sniping of Rice Bank's powerful funds, Standard Chartered Bank almost changed hands. If it weren't for the help of two wealthy Chinese in Hong Kong at the time of crisis.

Standard Chartered Bank has long been in the cage of Rice Bank.

Could it be that Rice Bank is making a comeback?

But after the initial acquisition failed, Rice Bank has sold all the acquired shares, even if Rice Bank buys all the shares in the market today.

It is also unlikely to exceed the stake held by Standard Chartered.

You must know that after the hostile takeover of Rice Bank, Standard Chartered Group has increased its shareholding in Standard Chartered Bank from the original 31.74%.

to 40.18%.

So why is Rice Bank doing this?

……

Five minutes later, Standard Chartered started to fight back.

"Put the order out, no matter what price the other party offers, we must be higher than him. "Cole?? Bright said angrily.

Then he asked the assistant, "Have you contacted Qiu Degen and Bao Yugang?"

"Not yet. ”

"Damn, what the hell is going on. ”

With the stocks currently circulating in the market, no one can snatch the control of Standard Chartered from Standard Chartered.

The other party also insisted on doing so, apparently with other plans.

So he thought of Qiu Degen and Bao Yugang.

But when he called Qiu Degen and Bao Yugang's office, it was a coincidence that neither of them was there, which made him suddenly have a very bad premonition.

So he mobilized funds to fight back, while continuing to connect Qiu Degen and Bao Yugang.

He is now able to mobilize HK$3 billion.

He didn't know if the money would last until the noon break, but it was impossible to retreat.

After a while, he asked:

"Have you found out who the other party is?"

"Boss, I found out, it's Wei's Investment. ”

"Damn, how could it be. "Cole?? Bright's face turned pale immediately, and he knew very well how huge the money invested by Webster.

At the same time, the bad feeling is getting stronger and stronger.

"How long is it until the market closes?"

"There are 10 minutes to go. ”

……

"Oh my God, it's terrifying. ”

On the stock exchange, an old shareholder with more than ten years of stock experience, watched the stock price of Standard Chartered Bank continue to beat at a rate of more than a dozen times per minute.

Just ten minutes.

The stock price rose to HK$46.37 per share.

You must know that when the market opened today, the share price of Standard Chartered Bank was only 22.74 Hong Kong dollars, which has more than doubled and is still continuing.

Exclamations rang out from time to time in the huge stock exchange.

……

"Boss, the market is closed. ”

Cole?? Bright hurriedly asked, "How much did we buy?"

The assistant's face was very ugly.

"Webster's investment bid is too high, it is simply ......"

"I don't want to hear that, how much did you buy?" Bright interrupted the assistant rudely, his patience had reached its limit.

“1.7%。 ”

Hear, Cole?? Bright only felt that it was dark in front of him, and hurriedly held on to the wall.

"What about Weiss Investment?"

"Before today, Wei's investment should have been secretly laid out for a long time, and the plunge that just opened in the morning should have been carried out by Wei's investment. ”

"Buying the bottom and acquiring at a high level. ”

"The other party should have bought more than 25% of the shares. ”

25% or more.

At this time Cole?? Bright's face has turned pale, you must know that Qiu Degen and Bao Yugang's combined shares have exceeded 25%.

If they do sell their shares to Webster.

Nawaysler apparently already has a controlling stake in Standard Chartered Bank.

"Why, why didn't anyone notify me when the stock price plummeted? Why. "Cole?? Bright was completely out of anger.

"This, the people in the investment department thought it was the impact of the previous stock market crash, so they ......"

"So they're making their own decisions?"

"They should all be taken and shot. ”

……

"Mr. Wei, the market is closed. ”

"How much?" asked Wei Xiong expectantly, he didn't want to give Standard Chartered time to prepare, so it was best to settle the battle in the morning.

“26.83%”

"It's great, everyone has worked hard, and whoever participates in today's battle will have their prize money doubled. Receiving a satisfactory reply, Wei Xiong said happily.

"Thank you, Mr. Wei. ”

"Inform Standard Chartered Bank that tomorrow morning at 10 diǎn, the board of directors will be convened. ”

……

The next morning, Hong Kong's authoritative financial newspaper "Hong Kong Economic Journal" was the first to disclose that Gu Chen had acquired Standard Chartered Bank, one of the two major note-issuing banks in Hong Kong, in the form of a 'black warrior' (Bank of China only began issuing notes in Hong Kong in 1994), and introduced the entire acquisition process.

Suddenly, a stone stirred up a thousand waves.

It is important to know that Standard Chartered Bank is different from ordinary banks, since 1912, there have only been two note-issuing banks in Hong Kong, HSBC and Standard Chartered Bank.

This pattern has remained unchanged for more than 70 years.

The British-backed HSBC and Standard Chartered Bank are also one of the symbols of British colonial rule in Hong Kong, and now such a bank has been bought by a Hong Kong person.

The sensation caused can be imagined.

Wei Xiong's personal prestige reached a peak at this moment.

Countless Hong Kong people regard Wei Xiong as the pride of Hong Kong, and in just two years, Wei Xiong has done countless things that his predecessors could not do.

In the face of such a dazzling achievement.

No one can help but sing the praises of Wei Xiong, and no one can help but be proud that Hong Kong has such a miracle as Wei Xiong.

……

And just when public opinion is boiling.

Wei Xiong came to the headquarters of Standard Chartered Bank, and with him came Cui Muqing and Gu Guofu, as well as a middle-aged man with blond hair and blue eyes.

When Wei Xiong personally pushed the door open.

There were already seven or eight people working in the conference room, and at the top sat a middle-aged man with a typical Scottish face, but his face was not pretty.

"Hi everyone, good morning. ”

Wei Xiong smiled and said hello, and then walked over to Cole?? Bright sat down in the seat opposite him.

In the process, several people responded to him.

There are also a few people who have an indifferent attitude, these people should be Cole?? Bright's henchman. In this regard, Wei Xiong just smiled slightly, and he didn't care.

After sitting down, he motioned to Cui Muqing.

The latter immediately sent a copy to each of the people present.

"Among the documents in your hands, two are the equity transfer letters of Mr. Qiu Degen and Mr. Bao Yugang, and one is the stock certificate of the tradable shares. ”

"Now I have a total of 52.08% of the shares of Standard Chartered Bank. ”

"Automatically appointed Chairman of the Board of Directors of Standard Chartered Bank. ”

"I wonder if Mr. Bright has any objections?" Wei Xiong glanced at the people seated, and finally stopped at Cole, who had just finished reading the article. Bright.

"What objection can I have, congratulations to you, Mr. Wei. ”

Cole?? Although Bright's face was not good-looking, and he was also angry at Wei Xiong's behavior, Wei Xiong was not wrong, and it was completely within the rules.

So he made a gentleman to the English.

"Thank you. ”

"From this moment on, I began to exercise the powers of the Chairman of the Board, and the man next to me named Robert?? Kane, I'm sure some of you are no strangers to him. ”

He previously worked for Chase Manhattan Bank. ”

"From today, he will be the new president of Standard Chartered. ”

Robert?? Kane got up and said with a smile: "Just call Robert, I hope that in the future, I can work happily with you at Standard Chartered." ”

"Looks like I'm no longer needed here. ”

At this time Cole?? Bright stood up.

Although he is the chairman and chief executive of Standard Chartered Bank, he does not own any shares in Standard Chartered, but only represents the British Standard Chartered Group as chairman of the board.

That is, he only has executive power.

The real big decisions for banks need to be decided by Standard Chartered.

So after being removed from the position of president, there was no need for him to stay. Of course, he also expected that Wei Xiong would remove him.

Wei Xiong did not speak.

Sitting silently, he didn't even turn his head to look.

It wasn't until the door closed that Wei Xiong said: "In addition to the position of president, other positions will also change, and the appointment will be announced in two days." ”

……

The meeting did not end until noon.

Not long after Wei Xiong walked out of the conference room, his mobile phone woke up.

When I picked it up, it was Zhang Guorong calling: "I said why did you have time to call me today, don't take care of your baby son." ”

Zhang Guorong's hearty voice came from the other end of the phone:

"Haha, today Tingting took Haohao back to her parents' house, and today I have a holiday. Since Guo Wenting gave birth, Zhang Guorong has become a full-time dad in self-care.

In fact, there is a servant, and it doesn't matter if you don't have him.

But he just likes to stay at home, spend time with his wife, and tease his son.

"You kid, it's only been a long time, and there has been such a big move, even Standard Chartered Bank has been acquired by you, I have to say that you are good enough. ”

"It's just a capital operation, and you can do it when you have money. ”

"The point is that I don't have any money. ”

Zhang Guorong on the other side of the phone rolled his eyes directly, the rich man spoke easily, and he didn't consider his feelings as a 'poor man' at all.

"Inevitably, you can't even afford to raise Tingting, or I'll borrow you diǎn. ”

"Thanks, but forgive. ”

"Hehe, tell me, what's the matter. With Zhang Guorong's habitual poor mouth, Wei Xiong asked with a smile.

"I organized a party in the evening, do you have time?"

"Even if you don't have time, you have to take time out of the party organized by Rong Shao, where is it?"

In fact, he promised to accompany Qiu Shuzhen tonight.

However, since Zhang Guorong called to invite, if he does not participate, it will inevitably make people think about him, thinking that he is putting on a score.

He didn't like that.

If friends have ideas for each other, it's not interesting.

What's more, he can also take Qiu Shuzhen with him.

"Nine diǎn tonight, old place. ”
