Chapter 345 The fourth shot of the acquisition of Standard Chartered!
In a week, Sandy Will, Jason and others had already absorbed 8% of Standard Chartered's outstanding shares outside the market. Recently, Sandy Will also began to contact some of Standard Chartered's senior executives and small shareholders. Although they were not very happy that Lin Yu wanted to acquire Standard Chartered, they agreed happily at a price of 5% higher than the market price.
The contributions made by several old men are naturally the contributions of several old men. Among these small shareholders who own Standard Chartered Bank shares, many of them are known to several old men in Hong Kong. With their help, Lin Yu's shares in Standard Chartered have now increased from 8% to 15%, which has almost doubled.
Now if the major shareholders of Standard Chartered Bank know that someone wants to acquire Standard Chartered and then spend money to block the attack, then the cost of Lin Yu's acquisition of Standard Chartered will increase greatly. You must know that he does not want to acquire part of Standard Chartered's shares, but wants to truly acquire Standard Chartered. Although Standard Chartered Bank is not very famous in the world, even if it is not big, its assets have nearly 200 billion Hong Kong dollars. Although Lin Yu has prepared 50 billion US dollars to acquire Standard Chartered this time, if Standard Chartered Bank knows Lin Yu's intention and then spends money to block Lin Yu, then all the 50 billion yuan will definitely be poured into it, and there is no need to acquire Royal Bank of Scotland.
According to Sandywell's idea, the $50 billion is to acquire Standard Chartered and Royal Scotland. If the cost is too much at Standard Chartered, the acquisition of Royal Scotland will undoubtedly be stranded. After all, if you take out money, Lin Yu's plan to face the *** in the future will be affected.
"Boss, don't worry, the major shareholders of Standard Chartered Bank do not know about our acquisition of Standard Chartered Bank, but I found an interesting thing. The upper levels of Standard Chartered Bank are now broken due to rapid expansion. Now even if we know that we can't pay for the acquisition of Standard Chartered Bank, we can't stop them. Except for the small shareholders found by Hong Kong rich people, some other small shareholders have already had the idea of selling Standard Chartered Bank. After all, Standard Chartered Bank is no longer enough to bring benefits to them. Do you think we can contact these small shareholders?" Sandy Will said.
"You mean Standard Chartered's capital chain has been broken?" Lin Yu opened his eyes wide.
"I'm afraid that's the case, otherwise those small shareholders wouldn't want to sell their shares in Standard Chartered Bank." Sandy Will nodded.
"Okay, it's OK. No wonder those shareholders will sell so easily. I think they are for the sake of the face of the old men. I didn't expect that Standard Chartered Bank has started to make an internal dispute. I think they should be laughing at us fools now." Lin Yu said with a smile: "It seems that Standard Chartered is destined to be ours. In this way, Sandy, contact the small shareholders as soon as possible to see how many of them are willing to sell their shares. We will all acquire them at a price of 5% more than the current market price. You will be responsible for this matter. I will not ask for it for the time being. Also, this matter must be kept confidential and must not be revealed."
Sandy Will nodded and said with a smile: "If they are willing to sell, then we will have more than 20% of the shares. With these shares, we have the right to hold a shareholders' meeting. Haha, this will save a lot of money on our acquisition."
Lin Yu smiled and said nothing.
Things went smoothly. In just three days, Sandy Will acquired 6% of Lin Yu's shares from senior executives and small shareholders who were willing to sell Standard Chartered Bank shares. These shares only cost Lin Yu less than 10 billion Hong Kong dollars.
According to the regulations of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, after mastering 10% of the shares of a listed company, they must be reported to the Stock Exchange for public audit. However, Lin Yu dispersed this part of the shares to the names of several people, so it is not necessary to go to the Stock Exchange for public disclosure. Now Lin Yu holds 21% of the shares of Standard Chartered Bank. Once these shares are obtained, Lin Yu is no longer ambiguous and directly asks Jason to start a large-scale absorption of the outstanding shares of Standard Chartered Bank, and strive to make the major shareholders at Standard Chartered Bank react and take down all the outstanding shares of Standard Chartered Bank.
After Jason accelerated the pace of fund-absorbing, the senior executives of Standard Chartered Bank finally learned that someone was acquiring Standard Chartered Bank, and the news also reached Standard Chartered Bank's major shareholder, London, England.
Yarman has been in trouble recently. After each of the incidents of secret dates with a female star were exposed, for the sake of the family and his image, Yarman had to deny all relationships with the female star and cut off any contact. As one of the heirs of the Aris family, many of Yarman's actions were seen and remembered in his heart by the people in the family. Although the faces of Yarman and the Yarman family were preserved in public, only Yarman knew that the people in the family have begun to doubt his abilities. In addition, many people pointed at him behind his back, especially the female star's grievance and tears on the screen, which made many people feel disgusted with Yarman.
But this matter is not counted. He suddenly received a call saying that someone was acquiring Standard Chartered Bank.
Someone is acquiring Standard Chartered Bank? What a joke? Is Standard Chartered Bank that easy to acquire? Someone has proposed to acquire Standard Chartered Bank before, but at that time they were rejected by Yarman. You should know that Standard Chartered Bank, as one of the family industries he is responsible for, the development of Standard Chartered Bank will be tested as the test of his family heirs. If Standard Chartered Bank is acquired, he will definitely be excluded from the family heirs, which is definitely something that Yarman cannot accept.
Now that he heard someone was acquiring Standard Chartered Bank, Yarman was surprised, but he didn't take it seriously. He just asked someone to investigate. However, after investigation, Yarman was very annoyed because he found that the other party held more shares in Standard Chartered Bank than the shares held by the Aris family, how could he not be upset?
"Didn't you pay attention to Standard Chartered's shares?" Yarman angrily denounced several members of the family responsible for Standard Chartered. They are all members of the Aris family. Although they are not harmonious in normal times, this matter is related to the honor and disgrace of the Aris family and the ownership of Standard Chartered's. In the face of foreign invasion, everyone should unite. Unexpectedly, these people sat on the side to acquire Standard Chartered's shares and ignored them, which made Yarman not angry.
The members of the Aris family who hold shares in Bank of East Asia look at me, and I look at you, and they all shifted the responsibility to the other party, and they scolded the other party for neglecting their duties and watching the family property be invaded by outsiders. Faced with this situation, Yarman was so troubled that he couldn't speak, and he smiled bitterly in his heart. If the members of the Yarman family could unite, how could the other party easily acquire Standard Chartered Bank? However, although he was very angry, he also knew that these were not their fault, and these people were also instructed by some people.
When he thought of this, Yarman remembered his extremely smart sister. Although he was the elder brother and the first heir of the family, it was obvious that almost everyone in the family was optimistic about his smart and beautiful sister, but he was not very optimistic about him, the first heir.
Although Yarman also felt that his sister was more suitable for inheriting the family than him, Yarman was angry at everyone's contempt for him, so he had the idea of competing. However, it was obvious that he was not suitable for this industry. Under the design of his smart sister, his work was difficult, and even his love was exposed by his sister's design in the spotlight, which made him smile bitterly.
In fact, the relationship between the two is not bad, but both of them are arrogant people. Yarman always wants to show his brother in front of his sister, but his sister is dissatisfied with this and always wants to prove that he is smarter than his stupid brother, so he always designs Yarman like this. Yarman also knows all this, but he did not expect his sister to joke about the family's industry.
Of course, although Lin Yu now has more than 20% of Standard Chartered Bank's shares, including the shares circulating on the market and the shares of some other small shareholders, it has far exceeded the shares of Standard Chartered Bank in the hands of the Aris family. When Yarman thought that the family's bank would become someone else's si-man bank, he felt heartbroken. He really wanted to ask himself what his sister wanted to do.
Although the Aries family is also a big family, it is incomparable to big families like Rockefeller and Morgan, and it does not have the strength and prestige of the Agnelli family in Italy. The Aries family is just an ancient family in the UK. Although the family was once glorious, the Aries family is now just a family nesting in London and near London, and its strength is not very strong.
