MTL - Centennial Family, Rising From Hong Kong Island-Chapter 277

As for the cost, it doesn't matter at all.

The remaining 13%, even at double the price, must be taken.

This battle must be fought.

If you can't get 50% of the shares, you can't mention everything.

…….

Chapter 481 For the sake of profit, God can sell [For flowers! Ask for a monthly pass! 】

The stock of Standard Chartered Bank, which had plummeted, suddenly turned around and rose shortly after the market opened on this day, and the increase was very large.

It quickly surpassed today's opening price and is still rising.

By this time, many people have seen that something is wrong. This is clearly someone who is maliciously acquiring Standard Chartered Bank.

...

Soon, Standard Chartered started to fight back.

"Put the order out, no matter what price the other party offers, we must be higher than him." Clermont said in exasperation.

Then he asked the assistant, "Have you contacted other shareholders of the bank?"

"We got in touch," the assistant said.

"I have called several investment banks on Wall Street, and I have also contacted the Horton Company and several small shareholders. They all expressed their support for our group and promised not to transfer their shares."

But the assistant's words did not reassure Clermont, instead his eyelids jumped.

What does Wall Street do?

Can you believe the words of those vampires?

For the sake of profit, they can even betray God, what else can't they do?

Guaranteed not to transfer shares, simply the biggest joke.

Wall Street's assurances are nothing but a feeble lie, and they must not be believed.

"Damn, I'll call them in person later."

"Also, how much money has been mobilized now?" Clermont said anxiously.

At present, Standard Chartered Bank has only about 35% of its outstanding shares in the stock market. Based on these, no one can take the dominance of Standard Chartered Group away from Standard Chartered Group.

But even so, the black hand behind the scenes still shot, which shows that he is confident to get more than 50% of the equity.

There must be something wrong with those small shareholders!

The best way now is to get ahead of the other party and buy the stocks in the hands of those small shareholders to reach the 50% holding line in advance.

But that would require a lot of money.

The assistant said with an embarrassed look: "Our group now has less than fifty million dollars left."

"Fifty million dollars..."

Clermont also twitched his face, which was very ugly.

In this era, the value of the US dollar is still very strong, fifty million US dollars is a huge sum of money, a lot.

But for a large conglomerate, that's not enough money, especially at a critical time like this.

Standard Chartered will need more money than usual to buy shares.

But there is no way!

The Standard Chartered Group had blindly expanded before, and made a large amount of investment in the United States, causing great losses. The funds were locked up in the United States and could not be recovered in a short time.

"Damn~"

Clermont gritted his teeth and scolded, the timing of the other party's choice was too unfortunate. It was the most serious moment of the Standard Chartered Group's investment failure and lack of funds.

It is also a little weak to counterattack, and now I can only find a way to borrow money from other banks, and people are not necessarily willing to lend to myself.

Clermont felt only a moment of exhaustion.

After a while, he asked, "Have you found out the identity of the other party?"

"I found out, it's the Galaxy Fund of Hong Kong Island!"

"Damn it, how could it be." Claremont's expression changed immediately. As the president of Standard Chartered Group, he was very aware of the origin of the Galaxy Fund.

After all, a large part of Standard Chartered Bank's business is on Hong Kong Island, and it is also the banknote issuing bank on Hong Kong Island.

Galaxy Fund is the largest financial and securities institution on Hong Kong Island, covering a wide range of fields, such as international investment, foreign exchange, stocks, funds, insurance and so on.

A simple Galaxy Fund may not be much, but the key is the behemoth standing behind it.

Galaxy Group!

This is a group with considerable influence on the western Pacific coast.

Do not!

The current Galaxy Group already has most of the functions of a consortium, and it is not an exaggeration to call it a consortium.

Although the Standard Chartered Group is not small, it still seems so weak in the face of a consortium with huge capital reserves and huge influence.

Clermont never thought that this time it was the Galaxy Group on Hong Kong Island who was preparing to hostilely acquire Standard Chartered Bank.

Didn't it already have Wing Lung Bank under its banner? Why did it target Standard Chartered Bank?

The right to issue banknotes on Hong Kong Island?

Facing such a behemoth with sufficient funds, the bad premonition in Clermont's heart became stronger and stronger.

...

"Chairman, the market is closed."

"How much did you buy?" Su Shaoze asked in a flat voice.

"3.83%" Chen Zhiping shook his head helplessly.

Today they have raised a lot of prices, but unfortunately there are only so many tradable shares in the market.

Moreover, investors are even more reluctant to sell their shares when they see someone preparing for a hostile takeover of Standard Chartered Bank.

They are all ready to cover, wait and see first, and the price will definitely be higher in the future.

Therefore, various factors have led to it, and it becomes more difficult to continue to acquire from the stock market.

However, Su Shaoze had already prepared for this. Standard Chartered 380 Bank only had 35% of the tradable shares in the market. It was impossible to control the bank by acquiring tradable shares.

Therefore, the next goal is still those small shareholders.

And for this, Su Shaoze has long been prepared.

Fengyun Capital has already been arranged to operate in the United States, and the results should be available in the next few days.

"Everyone has worked hard these days. All those who participated in the acquisition have doubled their bonuses." Su Shaoze nodded with a chuckle.

The employees who participated in this acquisition also laughed happily when they heard the news.

"Thank you, Chairman."

...

A few days later, Clermont received a call in his office from a Wall Street investment bank.

Moreover, the investment bank is also a shareholder of Standard Chartered Bank, and the call has only one purpose.

Formally submit the equity change agreement to the Board of Directors of Standard Chartered Bank.

They have already transferred their 5.8% stake in Standard Chartered Bank to Fengyun Capital.

Just a routine briefing to the Board of Directors of Standard Chartered Bank.

After hearing the news, Clermont only felt that his eyes were darkened, and he slumped on the sofa weakly.

Done!

For the sake of profit, that group of vampires betrayed God after all! .

Chapter 482 is amazing, my galaxy! 【Ask for flowers! Ask for a monthly pass! 】

On that day, after hearing Liu Fusheng's words, Zhou Haimei felt bad, and she kept thinking about this matter in her head.

So much so that she was a little in a trance and absent-minded even in the usual training, and she was reprimanded several times by the teacher for this.

"What's wrong with you? Amei, you look so weird these past few days. Did something happen!"

When she was just training, Zhou Haimei was scolded by the teacher again. When it was time to rest, Qiu Shuzhen, who was usually close to her, came over to comfort her.

"I'm fine, thank you Jane~"

Zhou Haimei smiled reluctantly at Qiu Shuzhen, naturally she would not tell anyone what was in her heart.

"You have to cheer up, you can't keep going like this, then there is really no hope of debut." Qiu Shuzhen said.

Her grades are relatively good, whether it is dancing or acting, she is top-notch. If nothing else, she will definitely be one of the debut spots.

But Zhou Haimei is different, her grades go up and down, and sometimes she is even in the lower reaches.

Qiu Shuzhen still wants to hope that there is someone like Zhou Haimei in the girl group, and she can also have someone to help her when she and other Xiaobichi in the girl group are torn apart in the future.

"I understand, I will try my best."

"I will definitely be one of the people who will debut."

Zhou Haimei said to Qiu Shuzhen, when she said the last sentence, her tone was so firm.

A light flashed in his eyes, and an important decision had been made in his heart.

When a girl next to her heard her words, she sneered.

"Hmph, who doesn't talk big?"

"Just like you, still want to debut? Hehe~"

Saying that, she looked at Zhou Haimei with contempt, thinking that Zhou Haimei was performing self-hypnosis!

But Zhou Haimei didn't argue with this woman, and also held Qiu Shuzhen, who wanted to stand up for her.

Whether or not she can debut is not up to these people, there is absolutely no need to waste words with them, just wait for the final result.

Zhou Haimei had already thought about it, considering her own strength, she might not be able to make her debut in the final assessment.

Think about your hard work in the past two years, and think about your parents and brothers at home. They are all looking forward to becoming a big star and giving feedback to their family to make their lives better.

And if I can't make my debut, my parents and brothers will be disappointed, and I will never have a good face for myself.

It's so realistic, if you don't mix well, even the closest family members will look down on you.

Under the cruel reality, Zhou Haimei must find another way.

Liu Fusheng was right.

I have no other support, and being young and beautiful is my greatest asset.

Anyway, sooner or later, I want to find a boyfriend, and sooner or later I want to get married.

Instead of marrying an ordinary person, it is better to use your youth to lay the foundation for your future future and life.

She knew who she was facing!

But in her heart, Zhou Haimei did not feel rejected.

Su Shaoze is young and rich, heroic and handsome, full of masculine charm, and he almost meets all the conditions of Prince Charming.

If only it wasn't so fussy.

Giving my first and several years of youth to such a man is not a regret in life.

In this way, Zhou Haimei firmed up her thoughts and waited for Su Shaoze's appearance amid anxiety and tension.

And just a few days later, she received a call from Liu Fusheng.

"Get ready, I'll go to Japan with Mr. Su tomorrow..."

"Ah~ Oh, good~"
