MTL - Centennial Family, Rising From Hong Kong Island-Chapter 276

After sleeping for less than four hours, Su Shaoze was strong and energetic, but he didn't feel any discomfort, and his head was quite clear.

And this morning he still has important things to do!

Yesterday, I had already discussed with Wu Kaiming at the banquet. Today, Su Shaoze needs to visit King Bao.

Take the 8% stake in Standard Chartered Bank!

But there's still time, so don't be in a hurry.

Looking down at Yang Ziqiong, who was sleeping in his arms, Su Shaoze couldn't help but smiled evilly. This woman was young, but she was quite open.

Perhaps it was stimulated by Pan Disheng. Su Shaoze still remembers the madness last night. Thinking about it, the fire came up again. It was originally the peak of man's yang energy in the morning.

In her sleep, Yang Ziqiong vaguely felt that someone was playing with her body, but she was so tired, she just wanted to sleep well.

But as Su Shaoze's movements got bigger and bigger, her consciousness became a lot more awake, she slowly opened her eyes, and saw Su Shaoze's wickedly smiling face.

Yang Ziqiong covered her face helplessly.

"I'm really crazy to have tossed with you for so long."

"I've only slept for a few hours, and I haven't let anyone rest!"

Yang Ziqiong complained sullenly, but to no avail.

Today's weather is very good, and it can be called a sunny day. From the window, the road below is already full of traffic and crowded.

The room was also in full swing, and traces of Su Shaoze and Yang Ziqiong were left everywhere in the small room.

At ten o'clock, Su Shaoze came to Chuanwang Bao's manor, met Chuanwang Bao, and obtained 8.3% of the Standard Chartered Bank shares from Chuanwang Bao.

In addition to the 3.4% he had previously obtained from Qiu De.

So far, Su Shaoze has held nearly 12% of the shares of Standard Chartered Bank.

For Standard Chartered Bank, this is already a large shareholder.

The parent company of Standard Chartered Bank is the unsurpassed Standard Chartered Group.

But Standard Chartered Bank has been established for a long time, with a history of more than 100 years. Like most established companies, its equity is quite scattered.

Among them, Standard Chartered Group is the major shareholder of the bank and the chairman of the board of directors, owning about 35% of the shares.

In addition, nearly 30% of the shares are held in the hands of large and small shareholders.

Only the remaining 35% is circulated in the stock market.

After half a month of secret operations, Su Shaoze received a report from Chen Zhiping, executive president of Galaxy Fund.

"We have established hundreds of secret accounts in major exchanges in the world, such as Lun Dun, Tuyue, and Dongjing, and purchased shares in Standard Chartered Bank."

"After more than half a month of hard work, we have won 13.7% of the stock, but this is already the limit."

"Now in the stock market, Standard Chartered's share price has started to rise."

Standard Chartered Bank has only 35% of the shares in the stock market, which is 13.7% less, which will naturally cause the stock price to fluctuate.

It is impossible to continue to secretly acquire stocks, and if the acquisition continues, it will definitely attract the attention of Standard Chartered Group.

In the same way, the more the stock goes up, the more investors hold the stock in their hands with the intention of taking a gamble, hoping to watch it continue to rise.

It's hard to go ahead with acquisitions unless you bid well above market value.

"Stop first, don't startle the snake." Su Shaoze sat in the office and said in a condensed voice.

Once the grass is stunned, it will attract the attention of Standard Chartered Group. They will know that someone is maliciously acquiring their own bank, and things will become a little more difficult.

Su Shaoze did not rashly approach the Standard Chartered Group directly to discuss the acquisition, because Standard Chartered Bank is the main asset of the Standard Chartered Group.

Without Standard Chartered Bank, the value of Standard Chartered Group will be instantly reduced by 80%!

Therefore, Standard Chartered Group cannot lose Standard Chartered Bank.

According to Su Shaoze's memory, in the last life, Standard Chartered Group faced the hostile takeover of Lai Ming Bank, but chose to resist to the end.

After a fierce price competition, in the end, Standard Chartered Group still got the help of Bao Chuanwang, which was the only way to save Standard Chartered Bank.

It is enough to see the importance of Standard Chartered Group to Standard Chartered Bank.

Therefore, if Su Shaoze wants to acquire Standard Chartered Bank, he can only find a way from other small shareholders and the stock market.

"Shareholders are always like this, spontaneity, blindness, greed, and sometimes self-righteousness."

"To get them to let go, either they win a lot or they lose a lot."

"You stop here first, I have already arranged it, wait for my order and then cooperate with the action." Su Shaoze said in a light voice.

Chen Zhiping nodded lightly: "Understood."

...

A few days later, a piece of news suddenly circulated in the stock market of Ributron.

"Standard Chartered has a large number of bad debts due to poor management."

"And the Standard Chartered Group failed to invest in the United States and owed a large amount of foreign debt. At this time, it is preparing to transfer this part of the foreign debt to Standard Chartered Bank through internal operations."

As soon as this news came out, it immediately attracted the attention of countless people, especially those investors who held shares of Standard Chartered Bank, their hearts trembled.

They know that Standard Chartered Bank does not want to limit itself to the financial industry in order to expand its business, so they have made a series of investments in the United States.

According to the group's report, their investment in the United States, although not getting a big return, still has a lot of income, which is a relatively successful business investment.

However, the news that was suddenly exposed suddenly caused an uproar among the investors, and they went to verify it through various channels.

The Standard Chartered Group also responded quickly and issued a notice declaring that it was a slander.

But investors remain skeptical.

And this attitude was not until a few days later, with the green light of Standard Chartered Bank's stock, investors finally panicked.

Have started to sell the shares of Standard Chartered Bank! Small.

Chapter 480 Financial Wars in the Great Era, Ups and Downs 【Seeking Flowers! Ask for a monthly pass! 】

On this day, the Lundun Stock Exchange opened as usual.

But soon, Standard Chartered shares, which had been on a slightly upward trend, suddenly turned green.

Prices then fell rapidly.

In the stock exchange, many investors who invested in Standard Chartered Bank saw this, and their expressions changed immediately.

They quickly thought of the rumor that Standard Chartered Group failed to invest, and Standard Chartered Bank also had a lot of bad debts.

Affected by this, the stock price began to fall, and the panic selling of these investors further exacerbated the decline of the stock.

This scene shocked the people of Standard Chartered Group.

"Have you found out, and where did the news come from?"

"This is slander, it's all rumors, it has caused huge damage to the credibility of our group, and we must prosecute them."

At the headquarters of the Standard Chartered Group, Clermont, the president, roared angrily, but there were worries and nervousness hidden under the anger.

"There is no newspaper report, it just spread from the stockholders suddenly, and it is difficult to find out where the source is in a short period of time." Clermont's assistant said.

The assistant to the president is not a chorus, but a senior executive of the company. In some companies, he can even enter the decision-making level.

"What the **** is the rumor, we must find out, we can't let them go, but the most important thing for us now is to stabilize the stock price."

"Just now, several shareholders have called to question the situation." A vice president said worriedly.

Clermont calmed down, smoked a cigar, and said in a deep voice: "I made an announcement to the shareholders again, that news is completely a rumor. Our group has sufficient funds and does not have any bad debts."

"In addition, the share repurchase process is started, and any shareholder who wants to sell shares, our group can repurchase at the market price."

The assistant said, "President, our group's liquidity is running out."

Clermont shook his head and said, "You don't need too much capital, you only need to acquire a portion of the stock."

"Let the stockholders know that our group will give them the bottom line, so they don't have to worry about the stock falling into their hands. They will naturally calm down and the stock price will stabilize accordingly."

Standard Chartered Bank has a 35% stake in the stock market, worth more than $400 million.

Standard Chartered can't come up with so much money at all, but it would be simple if it just acquired a part of the tradable shares.

As long as the Standard Chartered Group is willing to take the offer at the market price, investors will naturally not be so panicked, and the stock price will gradually stabilize.

"Then we have to find out who is the enemy hiding behind?"

"Who is going to be detrimental to our Standard Chartered Group?" Clermont said fiercely.

Because the rumors are right, the Standard Chartered Group has indeed made a large investment in the United States, and the returns are very unsatisfactory, and it can even be said that it has failed.

However, these news have been concealed by Standard Chartered Group, and although they have the idea of ​​transferring the debts of the United States to Standard Chartered Bank, they have not yet had time to implement it!

Suddenly it was exposed, the impact was very bad, and Clement was very angry.

Now we have to find a way to make money again to calm the panic of investors and stabilize the bank's stock price.

Soon, according to Claremont's orders, Standard Chartered Group took action and prepared to buy back the scattered shares in the market.

But a day later, the results surprised them.

"Mr. Claremont, something is wrong." The assistant pushed open the door of the office roughly.

"What happened to make you panic so much." Clermont asked with a frown.

"According to your instructions, we started the stock repurchase process, but after one day, we only acquired 1.5% of the shares." The assistant said anxiously and spoke quickly.

Clermont didn't react, but frowned and said, "Isn't it good!"

"At least it shows that after we announced the bottom line, shareholders have restored confidence in our Standard Chartered Group and are willing to continue to hold our shares."

"Has the stock price gone up?" Clermont asked casually.

The assistant hurriedly said: "The stock price has risen, but what is abnormal is that the stock price has risen too fast."

"In just one day, shares are up 5 percent from yesterday."

"What? Five percent?"

Hearing this, Clermont was taken aback.

Just the day before yesterday, the share price of Standard Chartered Bank was still falling all the way, but today it started to rise against the trend.

It is absolutely impossible for the Standard Chartered Group's repurchase process to have such a result, and there must be other factors.

"Damn, someone is buying our stock aggressively." Clermont suddenly stood up and roared angrily.

He has realized the problem, this is someone who wants to buy Standard Chartered Bank!

"who is it?"

Claremont's face turned green, he stood up immediately, walked quickly towards the investment department, and instructed his assistant as he walked, "Move all the funds you can mobilize immediately, immediately."

"We will do our best to repurchase the bank's shares, and we must not lose Standard Chartered Bank."

"Yes."

The assistant didn't dare to neglect, and hurried back to his office to call and execute Clermont's order. His face was full of panic.

Standard Chartered Bank is the main asset of the Standard Chartered Group. If it loses its banking business, the Standard Chartered Group will shrink by half in an instant.

Especially when the investment in the United States fails, they cannot lose the main business of Standard Chartered Bank.

On Hong Kong Island, at the headquarters of Galaxy Fund, Su Shaoze sat in Chen Zhiping's office.

"How much did you buy?"

"Chairman, we have acquired 12.8% of the shares again, and up to now, our shares have exceeded 37%, which has surpassed the Standard Chartered Group's shares in Standard Chartered Bank, and has become the largest shareholder of Standard Chartered Bank. "Chen Zhiping said quickly.

Of course, these shares are not all under the name of Galaxy Fund, but are scattered in the hands of several overseas offshore venture capital institutions.

Although it is controlled by Galaxy Fund, it has no relationship with Galaxy 4.9 Fund on the surface.

The main purpose of doing this is to prevent the shares from reaching a certain level and conduct compulsory publicity.

Su Shaoze next to him heard the words and nodded lightly. Although 37% of the shares were already a lot, there was still a long way to go before taking full control of Standard Chartered Bank.

"Continue the acquisition, put the order out, and don't care about the cost." Su Shaoze said.

"Yes, Chairman!"

At this time, it is time for a decisive battle. It depends on who can reach the 50% shareholding line first, and can complete the absolute control of Standard Chartered Bank.
