Chapter 665 [Fighting Cattle Across the Sea]

May, Philippines.

In an office building, Ding Xu Huange, the head of the top Philippine family 'Xu Huan Ge family', is conspiring with his Chinese assistant Cai Qiwen to regain control of the 'Shengli Group' and regain its former glory.

Ding Xu Huange lamented: "When the Marcos regime collapsed, I had to flee overseas for refuge, so I lost control of the Shengli Group. Now, it's time to get back what should have belonged to Brother Xu's family! ”

After speaking, he showed a trace of ferocity, in his opinion, the Philippines is the world of wealthy families, the major families hold the power, take turns to sit on the banker, and the same is true in business, it is the world of the major families. When is it the turn of a Spanish family to control the business giants of the Philippines!

In fact, the San Miguel Group was founded by the Spaniards, and the founders had two major families, the Soriano family and the Ayala family.

In 1980, Ding Xu Huange, a close confidant of Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos, took advantage of the contradictions between the shareholders of the Soriano family and the Ayala family to gain control of the Shengli Group with the support of Marcos.

In 1986, when the Marcos regime collapsed and Ding Hsu Huan Ge had to flee overseas, the Shengli Group returned to the Soriano family.

Cai Qiwen echoed and said: "It is not a big problem to take down the Shengli Group, I have contacted a number of shareholders and allies to absorb shares in the secondary market, whether it is the company law or the government force, little Soriano will not be able to resist, and it is logical for you to take back the Shengli Group." ”

Brother Ding Xu Huan looked at his most proud assistant and said with satisfaction: "Okay, if I return to the helm of the Shengli Group, you will be the first to take charge." At that time, you will not only be able to serve as an executive in San Miguel Group, but I will also put you in charge of San Miguel Beer, a listed company in Hong Kong. ”

Cai Qiwen said modestly: "Fuzuo, you are what I should do, Shengli Group belongs to the Xu Huange family. ”

Brother Ding Xu Huan immediately laughed arrogantly.

"Haha"

Cai Qiwen laughed with him, but behind his smile, there was more ambition.

What did Ding Xu Huan rely on to take the throne this time?

In addition to that little bit of government influence, it is more that he Cai Qiwen is looking for shareholders and allies to join their side.

And these shareholders and allies are all looking at his Cai Qiwen's face, not Ding Xu Huange's face; In other words, Ding Xu Huange is just a 'mediocre talent' and a 'hollow head'.

This made Cai Qiwen secretly decide that the time was ripe in the future to win the Shengli Group.

So now he is just a false and wronged snake.

Use this mediocrity to drive the Soriano family out of the Vital Group first, and when the time is ripe, let your allies join you and then take control of the Vital Force.

San Miguel Group is a large business group in the Philippines with several core businesses including:

Food: Its products and services span the entire value chain, from animal feed, fresh chicken and fresh meat to processed meats, ready meals, flour, dairy, biscuits and coffee, making it the most diversified food supplier in the Philippines today; Its strong brands, including Magnolia, PureFoods, and more, are household names that have earned the trust of generations of Filipinos around the world.

Spirits: San Miguel Beer Company (SMB) is the largest beer producer in the Philippines and today has a strong portfolio of ten popular beer brands: Red Horse, San Miguel, San Miguel Flavor, San Miguel Zero, Golden Eagle, San Miguel Super Dry, San Miguel Premium Whole Malt, Egra, Kirin I, and its flagship brand, San Miguel Pilsen. Hong Kong San Miguel Beer is a listed company, but its listed assets only include the business and assets of San Miguel Beer in Hong Kong, Taiwan, Macau and the Mainland.

Real estate, infrastructure, energy, power, finance...... A huge business industry chain together form today's Shengli Group.

The market value of the parent company of Shengli Group is still as high as about 2.5 billion US dollars, and the market value once exceeded 6 billion US dollars before the financial crisis.

.......

The headquarters of the Shengli Group.

President Soriano Jr. soon discovered that the stock of Shengli Group was abnormal, and immediately became anxious.

He knew that the Xu Huan family had returned, intending to regain control of the Shengli Group.

For a moment, he found himself helpless.

It turns out that the major shareholders of Shengli Group are very dispersed, and the largest shareholder, the Soriano family, holds only 18.5% of the shares; Theoretically, whoever owns more than 30% of the shares can control the board of directors.

Just as little Soriano was helpless, a clerk walked in.

"Boss, there's a vice president of the Bank of Bahrain who wants to meet you!"

Little Soriano looked confused, he knew about the Bank of Bahrain, but he didn't know why he was looking for himself.

"Let him in!"

"Okay!"

The vice president of the Bank of Bahrain who walked in was Liang Botao, who had just joined Lin Zuhui's subsidiary, and at this time he had already adjusted his mentality and worked for Bole with peace of mind.

Chinese? Little Soriano looked at Liang Botao with some doubts.

"Mr. Soriano, I am Liang Botao, Vice President of Bank of Bahrain, and it is a pleasure to meet you!"

"Hello, is the Bank of Bahrain here to lend me a loan?" Little Soriano felt that he had grasped the key point, so he said urgently.

Liang Botao said with a smile: "We are an investment bank, and we rarely lend money. ”

Little Soriano suddenly said with some displeasure: "So, do you have anything to do with me?" ”

Liang Botao said unhurriedly: "We heard that a control battle is breaking out in the Shengli Group, so we are very concerned, because our Bahrain Bank has absorbed 12% of the shares of the Shengli Group, and we planned to make long-term investments, but now we are very worried that the Shengli Group will be mismanaged due to internal friction." So I came to the door in the hope of getting specific information. ”

"What, you have a 12% stake, why don't we know?" Little Soriano said incredulously. Then he fell into ecstasy. Because his stake, combined with the stake in the Bahrain Group, can stabilize his position.

Even, the Bank of Bahrain is so strong that it will definitely be able to absorb stocks in the secondary market and thwart the conspiracy of the Xu Huan family.

Liang Botao said with a smile: "Don't you know now!" ”

As soon as Little Soriano saw Liang Botao's expression, he immediately said: "Are you really absorbing the shares of Shengli Group for long-term investment?" ”

"Of course, there is no doubt about that."

Little Soriano immediately said with a burning heart: "Why don't I lead you into the board of directors, as long as you promise me a condition!" ”

Liang Botao said in his heart, this is simply an active set!

"On what terms?"

"That is to stand on my side, thwart the Xu Huan brother family together, and I also hope that you will continue to buy the shares of Shengli Group!"

Liang Botao said without hesitation: "There is no problem, but we will continue to acquire the shares of Shengli Group after we enter the board of directors!" ”

Little Soriano immediately said: "Okay, I'll arrange it immediately!" ”

This matter could not be simpler for little Soriano, who is still at the helm of the Shengli Group; What's more, Bank of Bahrain also holds 12% of the shares of San Miguel Group.

........

A few days later.

Brother Xu Huan said in shock: "How did this Bahrain Bank get involved and become a director of Shengli Group?" ”

Cai Qiwen also felt a huge wave in his heart, and said in a low voice: "In this way, the person who is now grabbing chips in the market with us is this Bank of Bahrain." ”

Brother Xu Huan immediately asked: "Is this Bahrain bank powerful, do you have the confidence to defeat them?" ”

Cai Qiwen smiled bitterly: "The Bank of Bahrain is not only powerful, it is very powerful. It's a world-class investment bank in its own right, but it's the boss behind it that's even better. ”

Brother Xu Huan was shocked and asked, "Who is it?" Could it be a Wall Street giant? ”

Cai Qiwen shook his head and said: "The person who is not inferior to the Wall Street giants, he is the richest man in the world, Lin Zuhui." The Bank of Bahrain was a 200-year-old bank that failed three years ago, and then was bought by the world's richest man, and it took only three years for the Bank of Bahrain to get rid of the impact of the collapse, but doubled its business, and once won nearly $1 billion in the Nikkei Index, which can be described as the new hegemon of the financial industry......"

Listening to the strong record of the Bank of Bahrain, Xu Huange finally realized that it was not good, with such a strong strength, if he helped little Soriano, then his hope of regaining the Shengli Group would become slim.

In the final analysis, everything has to abide by the rules of business, after all, Spain behind Little Soriano is not easy to mess with, and he can't rob it.

"What to do? Do you have the confidence to beat them? ”

Cai Qiwen shook his head and said calmly: "It is impossible to defeat, after all, they already own more than 30% of the shares." But..."

"But what?"

"However, behind the Bahrain Group is our Chinese, I need to contact immediately, I believe that the Bank of Bahrain will not help Little Soriano for no reason."

"Yes, yes, you are all Chinese, you will definitely not kill each other!"

At this time, Cai Qiwen suddenly felt that the sudden intervention of the Bank of Bahrain might be an opportunity for him.

.......

After some twists and turns, Cai Qiwen finally met Liang Botao.

"Mr. Liang, I officially admired my name for a long time!" As soon as Cai Qiwen met, he said politely.

Liang Botao invited Cai Qiwen to sit down, and then said: "Mr. Cai has won the award, I am just a reckless investor, fortunately I met my current boss to save me, otherwise where would I be today." ”

Cai Qiwen said with admiration: "Mr. Lin is the pride of our Chinese, and he has greatly increased the popularity of our Chinese people in the world. ”

The richest man in the world for five consecutive years, this influence is far from being comparable to Li Chaoren in his previous life. In his previous life, Lee Shau Kee became the fourth richest person in the world, and he had already set off a great influence.

And now, Lin Zuhui has defeated American technology hegemons like Bill Gates for many years in a row, and his influence can be imagined.

Importantly, many people know that Lin Zuhui's wealth is undervalued, and Americans only count his shares in listed companies. As for how much to underestimate, no one knows.

Similarly, Lin Zuhui's investment in the American technology community in recent years has also increased his unlimited influence.

Liang Botao also said respectfully: "Our boss is indeed a legend!" Mr. Cai, what is the purpose of your visit? ”

Cai Qiwen immediately said: "I want to ask, is the Bank of Bahrain investing in Shengli Group a long-term investment or is it invited to Little Soriano?" Mr. Liang, you may not know that the Xu Huan family is preparing to take back control of the Shengli Group, and I am his assistant. Therefore, I came to you to understand the situation, if the Bank of Bahrain wants to invest in Shengli Group for a long time, maybe the Xu Huan family will return to the reintake of Shengli Group, which will be more beneficial to your interests. ”

Liang Botao said without hesitation: "Our boss wants the listed company of Xiangjiang Shengli Beer, and the Bank of Bahrain still has a seat on the board of directors of Shengli Group." As for who to support, it depends on what Mr. Cai means! ”

Cai Qiwen was taken aback, and he wanted to get back the 'Shengli Beer' of the listed company in Hong Kong for a long time!

Why do you say to take it back, it turned out that in 1948, Philippine San Miguel Beer bought Xiangjiang Brewery (the only brewery), and since then it has become the monopoly of Xiangjiang Beer, and its business has gradually extended to Taiwan Island and Macau, and in 1990, it was established as a joint venture with Guangdong Province to establish Shengli Beer (Guangdong Province).

In essence, Xiangjiang Shengli Beer is the predecessor of Xiangjiang Beer, but it is just a title.

Although Cai Qiwen is a little painful, after all, his deal with Brother Xu Huan is that if he has not helped Brother Xu Huan, he will become the chairman and ruler of the listed company of Xiangjiang Shengli Beer; Of course, San Miguel Group also has his executive position.

But he understands that if they do not agree, with the strength of the Bahrain group, they have almost no chance of winning.

"No problem! Everyone is Chinese, and we should work together. Cai Qiwen didn't hesitate for a few seconds, and readily agreed.

Liang Botao said with a smile: "Mr. Cai is right, you cooperate with us to plan for your future." After all, everyone is Chinese, if you don't support you, who do you support? ”

Cai Qiwen was shocked and hurriedly said: "You are joking, I am also doing things for Brother Xu Huan's family." However, he added: "Of course, it is an honour to work with the Bank of Bahrain. If I have the opportunity that day, I would like to visit Mr. Lin, who is my idol. ”

Liang Botao laughed 'haha' and said: "Welcome at any time, I can introduce you on your behalf, after all, we will be cooperative allies in the future." ”

Cai Qiwen said: "Yes, yes"

He is not stupid, the Bank of Bahrain has absorbed so many shares and has become a director, whether it is falling now or in the future, it is very crucial.

.......

When the board of directors of Sanguel Group met again, a dramatic scene occurred, when Soriano Jr., the Bank of Baring, which considered his biggest ally, chose to support Ding Xu Huange, and was defeated for a while.

The Bank of Bahrain is already a heavyweight shareholder holding 16% of the shares, and its influence is naturally amazing, so Ding Xu Huange did not hesitate to agree after learning about the conditions of the Bank of Bahrain.

For him, having the Bank of Bahrain as an ally is a pie in the sky; As for losing a listed company in Hong Kong, Shengli Beer does not have much pain, and Shengli Beer itself is not as influential as before, and other businesses are the new core.

At this time, Liang Botao sat in the position of director of Shengli Group, and he did not have any shame for Little Soriano. Business is so ashamed, the purpose of the Bank of Bahrain was actually to let Xu Huan Ge take the position and make friends with Cai Qiwen.

Cai Qiwen is Chinese, and his ability is very outstanding, and when the time is ripe, helping him to take the position is the biggest goal.
