I Want To Be a Rich Man on Hong Kong Island

  Chapter 648 [Hidden Enemy]

  In early April, Wu Guangyao set off for Hong Kong Island.

  After Wu Guangyao left London, Kayla immediately formed a team to prepare for the acquisition of Standard Chartered Bank.

  Standard Chartered Bank is an established bank with a market value of 820 million pounds (2 billion U.S. dollars) at this time. It is an out-and-out ‘big’ bank;

  The history of Standard Chartered Bank dates back to 1853. Because of the original English meaning of the word ‘Standard Chartered’, it was established under the license of Queen Victoria;

  In 1858, Standard Chartered Bank opened its first branch in Kolkata (India), followed by Mumbai and Shanghai;

  In 1859, Hong Kong branch and Singapore branch were established one after another;

  In 1900, it became the first foreign bank approved to conduct business in New York;

  In 1957, Standard Chartered Bank acquired Oriental Bank and obtained permission to open branches in Yemen, Beirut, Cyprus, Lebanon, Qatar, and the United Arab Emirates.

  In 1969, Standard Chartered Bank and Standard Bank merged to form Standard Chartered Stock Company; Standard Bank is a bank with many branches in Africa (most of which are not profitable).

  In 1972, Standard Chartered acquired three banks in the United States to further expand its business.

  So far, Standard Chartered Bank is a fully multinational bank covering the Americas, Europe, Africa, Asia and other regions.

  Kayla is confident about this acquisition;

  At this time, Kayla has used multiple channels to acquire 12% of Standard Chartered Bank’s stock;

  Of course, the 12% of Standard Chartered stock will not have much effect on the acquisition.

  In his previous life, Bao Yugang spent 2 billion Hong Kong dollars in 1986 to acquire 15% of the shares of Standard Chartered Bank and became a major shareholder of Standard Chartered Bank in one fell swoop;

  It turned out that even the management of Standard Chartered Bank did not enter, and was vacant for the title of vice chairman.

  Therefore, the lowest goal of this acquisition is to obtain absolute control, or even privatization;

  In short, you must get the management right of Standard Chartered Bank!

  In mid-April, a consortium consisting of Metro Group, Lufeng Motors, and the Kayla family officially initiated the acquisition of Standard Chartered Bank;

  Acquired no less than 50% of the shares of Standard Chartered Bank at a premium of 50%.

  For a time, it caused an outrageous wave in the UK!

  Metro Group is a retail giant, Keira has won the world’s richest woman, the richest man in the UK, etc. by virtue of the Metro Group;

  The Lufeng Motor Group has been one of the most eye-catching business groups in the UK in the past two years, claiming to use US$3 billion to change the status quo of British cars.

  Of course, the most eye-catching is Keira herself, the ‘queen’ of the British business community!

  Standard Chartered Bank Headquarters

  Sánchez, President of Standard Chartered Bank, led a group of high-level officials and met with Kayla and his party.

   "Ms. Kayla, is this a hostile takeover?" Sanchez said in a deep voice, facing a strong acquisition team, Sanchez felt a little scary.

  A retail giant that can spend $3 billion to integrate the British auto industry and $1 billion to participate in the privatization of the United Kingdom does not need to prove her strength.

  Kayla said with a smile: “Halicious takeover or good faith takeover depends on what the senior management of Standard Chartered Bank means! For us, this is responsible for all shareholders.”

  Sanchez sneered: "Responsible for shareholders? Ms. Kayla, what you said is nice!"

  Kayla responded: “This is natural. The performance of Standard Chartered Bank has stagnated in the past few years. Naturally, it needs new capital injection! Moreover, we acquired Standard Chartered Bank at a premium of 50% with sincerity.”

  An executive interrupted: "Since she is sincere, why not give up the acquisition, Ms. Kayla is just a strategic shareholding in Standard Chartered Bank, then we welcome with both hands."

  As an acquisition consultant, Peter Lynch answered this question for Kayla: “Standard Chartered Bank is not only short of funds, but needs to be changed! As the management of Standard Chartered, you should know that Standard Chartered Bank has had problems.”

  Someone retorted: "But you are not bankers, so why can Standard Chartered Bank change in your hands!"

  Kayla confidently said: “Although I am not a banker, you are professionals; what Standard Chartered lacks is not a managerial talent, but a soul man who brings new ideas to Standard Chartered.”

  Some people see Kayla saying this, and their hearts are immediately happy, because the underlying meaning of this sentence is that after Kayla becomes the head of Standard Chartered Bank, they will still reuse everyone.

  Finally, Sanchez said: "This is a big matter, and we need to convene a board of directors to discuss!"

  Kayla smiled and said: "Of course, we are here this time, just to inform, we need everyone to be prepared!"

  When the team led by Kayla was lobbying the shareholders of Standard Chartered Bank, some people were calculating Kayla.

  In the large manor of the Rohir family, several core members of the Rohir family are gathering.

  The patriarch of the Rohill family, William Rohill, placed his right hand on the scepter, moving his palm from time to time, and stroking it naturally;

Looking at several core members of the family, William Rohill said: "This woman is strong enough. If I enter the financial industry again, I am worried that our interests will be endangered. The important thing is that there is a genius behind her. A better man than John Rockefeller and Ponte Morgan."

Everyone looked serious, and a family nucleus named York Lowhill said: "Yes! That person is not only good at running physical businesses, but also very good at finance; according to our investigation, during the period of gold boom from 1979 to 1980, he at least Throwing gold futures worth 4 billion pounds, as for profit, it is expected to be at least 2 billion pounds or more. Not only that, he has also made a lot of profits in oil futures."

What these people don't know is that Wu Guangyao made a profit of 30 billion U.S. dollars through gold spot. As for gold futures scattered in the world's three major exchanges, no one knows the specific profit.

William Lowhill nodded and said: "It's not just that. You have found that there is no information that we have learned. That is that the family office who speculates in futures is always profiting from major international events. If this is a Pre-judgment, everyone can think about how long it will take to make a profit. At this point, it seems that our family does not have this kind of ability!"

   "Unfortunately, he has grown up, otherwise we will have to kill him in the cradle if we say anything!"

  If Wu Guangyao heard these words here, he would immediately spit on these people's faces, what the hell!

  It is too difficult for a businessman to stifle Wu Guangyao’s growth;

  It should be noted that Wu Guangyao did not make his fortune in finance, but in industry;

  When he entered the financial field, Wu Guangyao was already an influential figure in the world, and the layout of the world had taken shape;

  At that time, even if the British government cracked down on Wu Guangyao, there was absolutely no such strength;

  As early as the 1960s, Wu Guangyao has become Hong Kong’s "Chinese Governor". If the Wu family is attacked for no reason, great turmoil will occur in Hong Kong;

  While Wu Guangyao can immigrate to Japan and Singapore where the British influence is poor, even when immigrating to the United States, the British can only stare.

A core member named Chuck Lowhill said: “So, are we going to prevent the Kayla family from acquiring Standard Chartered Bank? Don’t forget, Ms. Kayla is not easy to mess with, she owns a large British law firm. , She and Prime Minister Thatcher are good friends. The important thing is that she is a'female hero' in the eyes of the British people. Even her eldest son is the biggest supporter of the US president and the king of media in the world. "

  Everyone immediately felt a headache!

  The Rohill family at this time is no longer in the era of the Sixth Empire, and is guarded by the British aristocracy. There is still the ability to make trouble in Britain;

  Even in the prosperous age of the Sixth Empire, the Rohill family could not control the Morgan family and the Rockefeller family. They also made the two families shameless, causing the Rohill family’s population to drop sharply;

  Back then, the Morgan family and the Rockefeller family secretly supported the development of Mustache in the political, economic and other fields, and with the help of Mustache, they overturned the Sixth Empire of the Rohill family;

  Since then, this huge family has fallen silent.

  Of course, the so-called silence is just to conceal the industry;

  For example, the current Barclays Bank in the UK is secretly controlled by the Rohill family.

  In the big banks such as HSBC and Deutsche Bank, there are also the Rohill family;

  London Gold Market, which is in charge of the Rohill family, feels terrible where Wu Guangyao made a lot of profits in the first place.

  However, even the government of a country is unable to suppress the skyrocketing price of gold, let alone a failed family.

William Lowhill pondered for a moment and said: “It’s really inappropriate to set up such an enemy, an enemy that makes people unable to grasp. In that case, we can also infiltrate Standard Chartered Bank so that we can monitor at any time, as long as we catch Just hold onto the handle and you can kill!"

Chuck Lowhill echoed: "Yes! It seems that the Kayla family is bidding very high (50% premium), but there are many shareholders of Standard Chartered Bank who will not be deceived by immediate interests, and the acquisition will not go smoothly. If we Then secretly acquire some stocks and increase our shareholding from 3% to about 10%; then we will be able to obtain the greatest say in Standard Chartered Bank with the fewest shares."

  Everyone agreed to this method of operation. The Rothschild family is a financial family. It does not need to control too many shares at all to have a great say in a bank.

  The important thing is that they fear Kayla more than Wu Guangyao!

  She is a good sister of the British female prime minister, her son is the biggest supporter of the US president, and she has a law firm in her hands;

  Not only that, the Kayla family also controls the media, which is also a very powerful force.

  If Kayla insists on the industry, the Roshir family will never offend such a character;

  Once the industry + bank, this will have too much influence on the old financial family, so some obstacles have to be set up;

  Of course, there is no direct confrontation.
