Mason Kemp thinks that even if the Wujiang Group promises to continue to support itself as a Taipan of Standard Chartered Bank, it is not necessarily insured, at this time and at that time, now, Wujiang Group has a request for itself, so it will support itself to do the Taipan, and when the other party takes power, it may not need itself.

Mason Camp knows a thing or two about balancing, so how can he put himself in a dangerous situation?

At this time, he smiled, the arrival of Qiu Degen, Bao Yugang and Australian businessmen is undoubtedly the three forces that clamp down on the Wujiang Group and prevent the Wujiang Group from becoming bigger.

As long as you are in the middle of these people, you can be left and right.

"Khoo Tak-gen, Pao Yugang and Australian businessmen are also powerful and well-known figures, and if they want to take a stake in Standard Chartered Bank, that would be the icing on the cake. In addition, it can also prevent the majority shareholder from becoming the dominant shareholder, which is conducive to the stability and development of our Standard Chartered management. Therefore, in my opinion, we should welcome the arrival of Qiu Degen and others! What do you think? ”

Of course, everyone heard this, and felt that Mason Camp was very thoughtful, so they nodded in agreement.

"Kylie, you take them to my office, I'll be there right away."

"Yes, Mr. Kemp!"

The secretary walked out of the conference room, and Mason Kemp said to everyone: "This is the end of today's meeting, I will meet with the three of them." ”

……

Not long after, Qiu Degen and others were taken to Mason Kemp's office by the secretary.

After greeting each other, Qiu Degen got straight to the point and made his intentions clear: "The three of us want to buy the shares of Standard Chartered Bank and help Standard Chartered Bank defeat Lloyds Bank of the United Kingdom, this is to protect Standard Chartered Bank in Hong Kong and not become a vassal of the Bank of England; Second, in business, we help Standard Chartered Bank, and we can make a lot of money by the way; Third, after taking a stake in Standard Chartered Bank, it is convenient for enterprises under its own name to engage in financial business. The three of us are just making a financial investment and are not interested in the management of Standard Chartered Bank, so we will still support the original management of Standard Chartered Bank. ”

Mason Kemp smiled: "Since Boss Qiu is so open and honest, then I will also say it bluntly, Standard Chartered Bank welcomes you." In addition, before you, Wujiang Group also expressed its willingness to take a stake in Standard Chartered Bank. So this time, Standard Chartered Bank will increase the capital of the four of them! ”

Hearing this, Qiu Degen, Bao Yugang and the Australian businessman looked at each other and nodded secretly, indicating that they could accept this result.

Qiu Degen smiled: "With the involvement of the Wujiang Group, then we are more confident in defeating Lloyds Bank in the UK!" ”

Bao Yugang asked: "Four people, I don't know how many shares Standard Chartered Bank can take?" ”

Mason Camp thought for a moment and replied: "To beat Lloyds Bank, you need at least £1.5 billion!" So...... Standard Chartered Bank will sell 40% of its shares to everyone, with an average of 10% of each share. ”

10% of the shares are also gone, Bao Yugang is very satisfied, smiled and nodded: "I agree with this distribution method!" ”

Of course, Qiu Degen and the Australian businessman have no problem.

After Mason Camp sent the three away, he contacted Zhou Anping, briefly explained that Qiu Degen and the three were also going to invest in Standard Chartered Bank, and finally talked about the distribution of shares in the directional capital increase.

Zhou Anping immediately relayed the news to Zhao Ye.

When Zhao Ye heard this, he felt sorry for a while, and sure enough, Qiu Degen, Bao Yugang and Australian businessmen were also involved, and it seemed that he couldn't eat alone.

"10% is 10%, tell Mason Kemp, and say that Borderless agrees!"

"Okay, boss!"

Zhou Anping nodded, and after hanging up the phone, he called Mason Kemp and said that Wujiang Group also agreed to a 10% stake in each of the four companies.

At around 10 a.m. the next day, Zhou Anping, on behalf of Wujiang Group, met with Qiu Degen, Bao Yugang, and Australian businessmen, and the four discussed how to join forces to defeat Lloyds Bank.

Now, several people are in one boat, and only by defeating the British Lloyds Bank can they reap a good profit.

However, basically as long as Standard Chartered Bank completes the targeted capital increase, Lloyds Bank of the United Kingdom will be defeated.

The directional capital increase does not require the unanimous consent of shareholders, but only needs to be approved by more than two-thirds of the voting rights held by shareholders present at the meeting.

Just do it well and convince the major shareholders that it will be beneficial to Standard Chartered Bank to bring in Borderless Group, Qiu Degen, Bao Yugang and others. It's not a big problem.

In addition, Standard Chartered Bank, in cooperation with Wujiang Group, Qiu Degen, Bao Yugang, and Australian businessmen, on the one hand, directly acquired shares from many minority shareholders, and on the other hand, they joined hands in the stock market to grab chips in order to grasp more chips.

Mason Camp proposes to cut through the mess quickly, quickly absorb shares in the stock market, and decide the winner in a battle, rather than slowly scrambling with Lloyds Bank in the United Kingdom.

Because Lloyds Bank is likely to quietly sell its shares when the stock price of Standard Chartered Bank is high, after all, since it can't buy Standard Chartered Bank, it will simply take the opportunity to make a big profit.

It's disgusting.

Therefore, Mason Kemp suggested that by buying a large number of high-priced orders, in a very short period of time, he absorbed enough shares to catch Lloyds Bank off guard, so as to lay the foundation for victory!

Just after a period of preparation, Standard Chartered's stock price began to become turbulent, and the smoke of the battle began to fill, making people tremble.

Hong Kong Stock Exchange.

A shareholder looked at the changes on the panel, and suddenly his heart jumped, only to see that the stock of Standard Chartered Bank soared wildly, and a large number of buy orders appeared.

When many shareholders of Standard Chartered Bank saw this price, they were immediately moved and immediately sold their shares.

Lloyds Bank of the United Kingdom was not slow to react, but every time it made a move, Standard Chartered Bank raised the price to grab the fund, and the momentum was strong and the determination to fight was very strong.

As the saying goes, "if you have food in your hands, you don't panic in your heart"!

This is the case with the Standard Chartered Bank Alliance.

However, these are not important to Zhao Ye.

Currently, he is dedicated to developing DRAM memory and EDA chip design software.

The role of banks for enterprises is as long as it is convenient for financing and borrowing. But the profitability of the Borderless Group is very strong, so the current demand for banks is not so eager for the Borderless Group.

In addition, Standard Chartered's shareholding is dispersed, making it difficult for Wujiang Group to hold more shares.

Zhao Ye prefers to own a wholly-owned bank and then develop it into a fully licensed financial group, and Standard Chartered Bank may become its subsidiary.

In July, the weather in Shanghai is relatively hot.

The battery production line and LCD production line have been installed and commissioned.

Both plants are now in mass production.

Zhao Ye wore a sun hat, walked through the empty road, and walked into the factory to inspect the production situation.

There are 521 employees in the battery factory and 325 in the LCD factory.

Battery factory, mainly produces alkaline No. 7 battery and No. 5 battery, No. 7 battery size is a little smaller than No. 5 battery, battery size: height 44.0mm, diameter 10.0mm, mostly used in remote control and other occasions with limited volume but power consumption is not too large, flashlights are also used, but most of them are used in combination with multiple sections.

No. 5 battery, battery size: height 49.0mm, diameter 14.0mm, mostly used in electric shavers, electronic toys, digital devices, etc.

Wujiang Group's BB machine uses No. 7 battery, and the handheld game machine uses No. 5 battery.

At present, the monthly output of No. 7 battery is as high as 4.5 million units, and the monthly output of No. 5 battery is as high as 5.5 million units, which can not only supply the battery demand of Wujiang Group for the time being, but also sell them to the outside world.

The battery factory of Wujiang Group adopts advanced battery production lines, and the battery quality is good, and it has great competitiveness at home and abroad.

Wujiang Group has always preferred to grab food abroad, so most of these batteries will be exported abroad.

The quality is good, the price is affordable, and it is very marketable in foreign countries, and it can completely seize the battery market share of the Japanese.

No way, the wages of Chinese workers are too low, and raw materials are abundant, which is like Japan, the area is small, the land is barren, raw materials are imported, and the wages of workers are dozens of times that of the Chinese, so the cost of Japanese batteries is relatively high, and the complete competition is not the Wujiang Group.

If Panasonic had known that Wujiang was preparing to compete with it abroad, it would have regretted why it sold its battery production line to the other party in the first place.

Wujiang LCD factory can only produce TN LCD panels, although foreign countries have begun large-scale research and development and application of STN LCD technology, but in China, TN LCD technology is still relatively advanced.

The existence of Wujiang LCD factory can reduce the large number of imported TN LCD panels in China. In fact, TN liquid crystal surfaces are used in a wide range of applications, including:

(1) Consumer electronics: such as: digital cameras, camera displays, GPS displays and other mobile displays;

(2) Household appliances: color TVs, air conditioners, stereos and other household appliance displays;

(3) Instrumentation: automotive dial displays, monitors and other instrument displays;

(4) Tools: laptops, desktop computer monitors, netbook monitors, etc.

It can be said that the market potential of TN liquid crystal is extremely huge, and the supply exceeds demand.

The TN LCD production line bought by Wujiang from Sharp is a 12-inch LCD panel production line, with a monthly output of 60,000 pieces of glass substrates, one substrate can be cut into eight 32-inch panels, which are used on TVs or computer monitors. Of course, glass substrates can also be used to cut smaller panels, which can be applied to handheld game consoles, mobile phones, and BB machines.

After inspecting the battery factory, Zhao Ye said to Chen Liquan, Tang Weiping, Wu Shousong and other experts in the field of batteries: "There are many development directions for batteries, but we have Wujiang Battery Factory betting on lithium batteries, and all research and development funds will be invested in the research of lithium batteries in the future, and strive to come up with results as soon as possible!" ”

Wu Shousong said: "Boss, is this too risky...... If you are desperate, if there is no development prospect for lithium batteries in the future, then the gap between our battery factory and other companies will become very large. Many factories are doing several R&D directions together, so as to ensure that their technology can always keep up with the forefront of the times! ”

Zhao Ye smiled and explained, "I know this, but we don't have time to study together in multiple directions." We already have few talents and backward technology, so if we don't gamble, how can we catch up with Europe, America, Japan and South Korea? Let's simply concentrate all our efforts only in the direction of lithium battery research, success or failure, hand over to God's will! ”

Chen Liquan is the first person to study lithium batteries among all people, in his previous life there was the title of "father of lithium batteries", he felt that lithium batteries are very promising for development, and said: "The prospects of lithium batteries are very large, I believe that people will win the day, as long as we have been working hard to research, we will be able to succeed!" ”

"Well, Dr. Chan is right! I am confident that we will succeed! Zhao Ye gave Chen Liquan a look of encouragement and recognition.

In fact, no one can understand better than Zhao Ye whether lithium batteries have a future for development.

He is the real emperor!
