Chapter 221: Bank Robbery?!

"In that case, we might as well buy all three banks, right?" Lin Yu thought for a while and said.

Hearing this, Jason almost choked on the water he had just drunk and bought three banks? Just kidding, if these three banks are all small banks, it doesn't take much effort to acquire, but these three banks belong to the kind of medium and large banks, not to mention others, a single Standard Chartered Bank is enough for Lin Yu now.

Although HSBC is not very well-known among European banks, it is thunderous in Asia, and the strength of HSBC in Hong Kong alone can be counted in Asia.

HSBC was originally established in Hong Kong to counter the Royal Bank of China established by merchants in Mumbai, India, at the beginning, HSBC was mainly to provide financing and settlement services to companies engaged in trade with China, after half a year of preparation, finally in 1865 in Hong Kong HSBC was established, followed by the Shanghai HSBC branch, but the Shanghai HSBC branch did not exist for long, and then closed.

Although it was established in Hong Kong, its headquarters was in London, England, and the name HSBC was also inscribed by Mr. Zeng Jixue, a diplomat of the Qing court at that time, and since then, the Qing court and society have called it HSBC.

In World War I and World War II, HSBC was affected to varying degrees, especially after the outbreak of the Pacific War, Britain and the two countries went to war, so the army took over all the HSBC branches and sub-branches in its occupied area, resulting in most of the HSBC's business had to be forced to stop, even to the verge of bankruptcy, in 1943, the British government axe ordered HSBC to move its headquarters to London, since then, Hong Kong HSBC has become a branch of HSBC, and is no longer the headquarters.

After the end of the Pacific War, HSBC quickly reopened its business, in the world economy was generally sluggish, and the people's psychology was not stable after the war, HSBC moved its head office back to Hong Kong, but the headquarters remained in London, less than three years after the end of World War II, almost all of HSBC's branches around the world were able to resume business, such a performance, I have to say that its strong strength and strong ability.

In 1959, HSBC acquired the Bank of Britain in the Middle East, the largest foreign bank in the Arab region, founded in 1889, expanding HSBC's network to the Middle East, particularly the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia and Iran. In the same year, it acquired India's oldest bank, the Indian Trade Bank, in 1965 it acquired a 61.5% stake in Hang Seng Bank, the second largest bank in Hong Kong, in 1980 it acquired a 51% stake in SITC, the largest commercial bank in the United States, and in 1983 it acquired a major dealer in U.S. treasury bonds, Carol Brown. With a 51% stake in Mackenty and McKinsey, it can be said that a series of actions by HSBC are enough to make it enter the ranks of large banks, but the problem lies here.

However, HSBC, as a big bank in Hong Kong, still has a great influence on Hong Kong's political axe, especially HSBC is one of the three major note-issuing banks in Hong Kong with the right to issue Hong Kong dollars in Hong Kong, and is the largest registered bank in Hong Kong.

In last year's takeover, HSBC acquired Carol Brown, a major dealer in U.S. treasury bonds. Fifty-one percent of Mackentee and McKinsey's shares can be regarded as a big acquisition in last year's acquisition, which has attracted many people's attention.

Although the strength of HSBC is not small, but the acquisition of the United States SITC Bank has not developed greatly for so many years, which has to be said to be a pity, coupled with HSBC as a quasi-large bank, there is no national currency issuance right, which also makes many people shake their heads.

But even so, it is difficult to acquire this bank, and now Lin Yu actually wants to buy not only HSBC, but also the other two Standard Chartered Bank and the Royal Bank of Scotland, which is tantamount to a fool's dream in Jason's opinion.

"Boss, are you sure you want to buy these three banks? Not to mention the Royal Bank of Scotland, HSBC and Standard Chartered are enough to give us all the best they can, and the British political axe will not watch us rob their banks. Jason said.

"Grab it?" Lin Yu raised his head to look at Jason and asked, "Why are we robbing?" We are acquisitions, serious acquisitions, legal means, even Margaret Thatcher has nothing to say. ”

Jason smiled bitterly and said so, but when it is really done, the British political axe will definitely take action, a small bank may be able to bear the British political axe, but such a big bank as HSBC and Standard Chartered Bank, the British political axe will definitely not sit idly by, not to mention that these two banks have a lot of influence in Asia and Africa. The British political axe will not let it go.

"Boss, it's easier said than done, the acquisition of three banks, not to mention anything else, if we can succeed, then we will definitely go down in history." Jason said.

"Leaving a name in history? Hehe, it's better not to want to, low-key is king. Lin Yu lowered his head and smiled.

Jason nodded, Rothschild in order to hide or even give up a direct child in the family to hide the family, Habsburg even in order to hide the Holy Roman Empire to give up the throne of the Holy Roman Empire moved to Austria, and finally succeeded in hiding. Even Morgan and the Rockefeller family have slowly changed the names of all the family properties one by one in order to hide, like the Rockefeller family, which only retains a Rockefeller Center as a symbol of the family, in order to show that the Rockefeller family is not as rich as the legend says, the Rockefeller family even let him buy the symbol of their family later, this self-contaminated sewage situation is enough to show that in this society, low-key is the king.

"Boss, even if this is the case, if we want to buy these three banks, it is absolutely impossible, it is difficult to gnaw on an HSBC bank, not to mention that there is a Standard Chartered Bank with similar strength as HSBC, although the Royal Bank of Scotland is not strong, but it is better than having a foundation, and it has a huge influence in Scotland.
