Chapter 174 Meeting with Qiu Deba
Chapter 174 Meeting Qiu Deba
If many Hong Kong rich people make large purchases of Standard Chartered Bank stocks, they will inevitably make Standard Chartered's management alert. However, facing malicious acquisitions from financial groups between the UK and the US again, Standard Chartered Bank is grateful for the help of the Hong Kong rich people.
In the past, Standard Chartered Bank was maliciously acquired by its opponents many times, and it was thanks to the help of the "White Knights" to get out of the predicament. Standard Chartered Chairman Brian Sanderson highly praised the righteous actions of Hong Kong rich people in front of the media and said that Standard Chartered would not be easily acquired!
When Zhang Bixuan heard that large international banks were dispatching to acquire Standard Chartered Bank, he was stunned. Then he became angry. He originally had a plan to pretend to acquire HSBC in the stock market. Of course, if HSBC is really so easy to acquire, he could turn fake acquisitions into real acquisitions. If it cannot acquire them, it would also force HSBC directors to run their funds. Then, he tried every means to ask HSBC to borrow a huge amount of funds from Standard Chartered Bank to alleviate the crisis.
After Standard Chartered lends the funds to HSBC, Henry then dispatches his chess piece to make the move that Jardines Group wants to acquire Standard Chartered Bank, and uses the friendship between Jardines Group and Standard Chartered shareholders to engage in an equity acquisition battle.
Zhang Bixuan also contacted other Hong Kong rich people and asked them to transform into white knights and acquire Standard Chartered Bank shares in the stock market. When Jardinet Group and other rich people acquire enough stocks, they will sell them to themselves in a concentrated manner, and then they will become a truly prestigious major shareholder with more than 50% of the shares in one fell swoop.
"Don't tell me about the incidents of British and American banks' acquisition of Standard Chartered Bank were caused by you! These international big banks are like wolves and tigers. Even with my strength, they can only compete with two or three companies at most. If such a large group of guys concentrate their strength, they can buy the entire Hong Kong!" Zhang Bixuan said viciously to the phone.
Henry said embarrassedly: "The plan cannot keep up with the changes. Now I can only contact the shareholders of Standard Chartered Bank. Don't worry, with our Jardine Map Group's more than 100 years of history, many families with shares in Standard Chartered Bank are in contact with us. Those families' main business is not the banking industry. I believe that cash transactions are easy to make people excited! I can't guarantee that there are more stocks, but I can guarantee that I can acquire at least 20% of the shares!"
Zhang Bixuan thought about it and had 15% of Standard Chartered Bank shares. Singapore's richest man, Chu Deba, is one of the White Knights who guarded Standard Chartered a few years ago, also owned 13.5% of Standard Chartered shares, and Bank of China and Hong Kong also had about 7% of Standard Chartered Bank shares. If they could sell them all to themselves, plus Henry guaranteed 20% of the equity, there would be almost no obstacles to acquiring Standard Chartered Bank!
Although Zhang Bixuan was already very satisfied with the 20% equity guaranteed by Henry, he still pretended to be heartbroken and said, "Henry, Henry, for the sake of his friend, I will give you a chance to get rich. Look at your petty family, only 20%? Alas! That's how many cents you can make. If you acquire 50%, you can make more than 20 billion Hong Kong dollars by one transfer. Making money is a small matter. The key is that you complete a transaction with so much profit, and there is a legend in the world's business world! Maybe in the future, all business schools will write your Henry's deeds into the textbooks! Think about it, how exciting this is! I successfully acquired it, you make money and have a happy cooperation!"
Henry was blown dizzy and said hurriedly: "Don't worry, I'll cover it with me. With me here, I'll guarantee that your acquisition will be successful!"
Zhang Bixuan was satisfied and said, "Brother, you can't be humble when making money. When you can make more money, you are the king of heaven. Even if God and Buddha are blocking each other, we will defeat God and Buddhas! Okay, let's not say so much. Move quickly, time does not wait for others, money does not wait for others! Speed!"
After Zhang Bixuan hung up the phone.
Henry murmured to himself: "Atheists are always so arrogant. But what should I do if God really hinders me from getting rich? Oh, then it goes without saying, kill God!...Oh, God bless me, let me stop thinking about it anymore!"
The waves are sparkling and the waves are patting.
Several large yachts floated on the high seas not far from the Hong Kong sea, one of which was Zhang Bixuan's Longteng Palace, and the other was Qiu Deba's yacht.
In 1986, when Lloyds Bank in the UK wanted to hostilely acquire Standard Chartered Bank, Qiu Deba joined forces with two other financial investors, Mr. Pao Yugang of Hong Kong and Australian businessman Robert Holmes. The three of them seemed to be the legendary "White Knights". In the last few days, they defeated Lloyds Bank for 1.3 billion pounds and obtained 37% of Standard Chartered Bank's shares. Originally, Qiu Deba had the opportunity to become the chairman of the board of standards-chartered banks, but they stepped down because they had exposed a fraud scandal in a bank in Brunei shortly after they acquired those shares. Since then, Qiu Deba only shared dividends, regardless of other matters on the board.
Among the shares owned by Standard Chartered Bank's three major White Knights, the 15% equity obtained by Bao Yugang has been handed over to Zhang Bixuan, and Robert Holmes has long been selling the shares. This time he met on the high seas, he naturally negotiated equity transactions with Qiu Deba.
The Longteng Palace costs more than 500 million US dollars every year, which is magnificent and beautiful maids. Any guest who comes to the Longteng Palace will feel happy.
When Qiu Deba took a helicopter to Zhang Bixuan's Longteng Palace, he looked around and praised: "It is worthy of being the world's number one luxury Longteng Palace. Being in it really looks like an environment where the emperor lives!"
Zhang Bixuan said: "Thank you for your praise! I am a man who cares about enjoyment because he has some money, which makes many noble people despise it!"
Qiu Deba said: "There is no need to explain to others when a tough life! Those who stand on the commanding heights of morality are villains, and they don't need to pay attention to it!"
After a few polite words, the two drank the drinks offered by the maid, enjoyed the massage, and began to talk about the main business.
Qiu Deba said cunningly: "Mr. Zhang, I will not sell the shares of Standard Chartered Bank easily, and I am very satisfied with the dividends of Standard Chartered Bank every year. I am ready to make long-term investments!"
Zhang Bixuan was stunned and soon noticed the old fox's eyes, understood his meaning, and smiled and said, "Old sir! We are all businessmen. As long as there is enough money in the business world, we can still get it done! You can tell me the number, as long as it is not too much, I should be able to take it out! Moreover, you mainly operate hotel business in Singapore, Malaysia and other places, and it is very complementary to our Oneworld Aviation Alliance business. After the deal is reached, I can invite your hotel group to become our partner on behalf of Oneworld Aviation Alliance!"
Chapter completed!
