Centennial Family, Rising From Hong Kong Island

A century-old family, rising from Hong Kong Island Chapter 276

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

And he still has important things to do this morning!

He had already discussed with Wu Kaiming at the banquet yesterday, and today Su Shaoze needs to pay a visit to Bao Chuanwang.

Take the 8% stake in Standard Chartered Bank!

But there is still time, so don't worry too much.

Looking down at Yang Ziqiong who was sleeping soundly in his arms, Su Shaoze couldn't help but smile evilly. This woman is not very old, but she is quite relaxed.

Maybe it was stimulated by Pan Disheng, Su Shaoze still remembers the crazy energy last night, thinking about it, the fire came up again, the morning is the time when men's yang energy is at its peak.

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 became bigger and bigger, her consciousness became clearer, she slowly opened her eyes, and saw Su Shaoze's wickedly smiling face.

Yang Ziqiong helplessly covered her face.

"I'm really crazy, I've been tossing with you for so long."

"It's only been a few hours of sleep, why don't you let people rest!"

Yang Ziqiong was complaining sullenly, but it was of no avail.

Today's weather is very good, it can be called sunny and sunny. Looking 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 Bao Chuanwang Manor, met Bao Chuanwang, and got 8.3% of the Standard Chartered Bank shares from Bao Chuanwang.

Plus the 3.4% previously obtained from Qiu De.

So far, Su Shaoze already holds nearly 12% of the shares of Standard Chartered Bank.

For Standard Chartered Bank, this is no small shareholder.

The parent company of Standard Chartered Bank is the day-to-day Standard Chartered Group.

However, 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 dispersed.

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

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

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

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

"We have established hundreds of secret accounts on the world's major exchanges such as London, Twisted, and East Longitude, and purchased the shares of Standard Chartered Bank."

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

"Now in the stock market, the stock price of Standard Chartered Bank has begun to rise."

Standard Chartered Bank only has 35% of the shares in the stock market. This sudden decrease of 13.7% will naturally cause changes in the stock price.

It is already impossible to continue to secretly buy stocks. If the purchase continues, it will definitely attract the attention of the Standard Chartered Group.

And in the same way, the more the stock rises, the more many stockholders hold the stock in their hands with the intention of taking a gamble, hoping to watch it continue to rise.

Unless the price is much higher than the market value, it will be difficult to continue the acquisition.

"Stop first, don't startle the snake." Su Shaoze said in a calm voice while sitting in the office.

Once they start to alert the snake, they will attract the attention of the Standard Chartered Group, and they will know that someone is hostile to take over their bank, and things will become a little difficult.

Su Shaoze didn't rashly approach the door directly to discuss the acquisition with the Standard Chartered Group, because the Standard Chartered Bank is the main asset of the Standard Chartered Group.

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

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 by Lai Ming Bank, but chose to resist to the end.

After a fierce price competition, the Standard Chartered Group finally got the help of Bao Chuanwang to save the 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, you're either going to make them win a lot, or you're going to make them lose a lot."

"Stop on your side first, I've already made arrangements, wait for my order before cooperating with the action." Su Shaoze said in a faint voice.

Chen Zhiping nodded lightly: "Understood."

...

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

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

"And 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 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 shareholders who held shares of Standard Chartered Bank, and their hearts trembled.

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

According to the group's report, although their investment in the United States did not get a big return, it also made a lot of money, which can be regarded as a relatively successful business investment.

But the news that came out suddenly caused an uproar among the stockholders, and they went to seek confirmation through various channels.

The Standard Chartered Group responded very quickly and issued a circular, claiming that this was slander. The Standard Chartered Group's financial situation is very good and there is no large amount of debt.

But shareholders remain skeptical.

And this kind of attitude was not until a few days later, as the stock of Standard Chartered Bank showed a green light, the stockholders finally panicked.

They began to sell the shares of Standard Chartered Bank one after another! Small.

Chapter 480 The financial war in the great era, with ups and downs [seeking flowers! Ask for a monthly pass! 】

On this day, the London Stock Exchange opened normally as usual.

But soon, the stock of Standard Chartered Bank, which was on a slight upward trend, suddenly turned green.

Quotations then fell rapidly.

In the stock exchange, many investors who invested in Standard Chartered Bank saw this, and their faces 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 stockholders exacerbated the decline of the stock.

This scene shocked the people of the Standard Chartered Group.

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

"This is slander, it's all rumours, and it has caused great harm to the credibility of our group. We must sue them."

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

"There wasn't any newspaper report, it was just spread among stockholders suddenly, and it's hard to find out where the source is in a short period of time." Clement's assistant said.

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

"We must find out who is causing the rumors, and we cannot let them go, but the most important thing for us now is to stabilize the stock price."

"Several shareholders have called to question the situation just now." A vice president said worriedly.

Clement calmed down, smoked a cigar, and said in a deep voice: "Announce the announcement to the shareholders again. That news is completely a rumor. Our group has sufficient funds and no bad debts."

"In addition, the share repurchase process has been initiated. Any shareholders who want to sell their shares can be repurchased by our group at the market price."

But the assistant said: "President, our group's liquidity is running out."

Clement shook his head and said, "You don't need too much money, you only need to buy a part of the stock."

"Let the shareholders know that our group will support them, and they don't have to worry about the stocks 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 four billion US dollars.

The Standard Chartered Group can't spend so much money at all, but it would be easy to just buy a part of the outstanding shares.

As long as the Standard Chartered Group is willing to accept the order according to the market price, the stockholders will naturally no longer 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 harm our Standard Chartered Group?" Clement said fiercely.

Because the rumors are correct, the Standard Chartered Group has indeed made a large investment in the United States, and the income is not ideal, and it can even be said to have failed.

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

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

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

Soon, according to Clermont's instructions, Standard Chartered Group took action and prepared to repurchase the odd shares in the market.

But a day later, the results surprised them.

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

"What happened to make you panic." Clement asked, frowning.

"According to your instructions, we started the stock repurchase program, but at the end of the day, we only acquired 1.5% of the shares." The assistant said quickly with an anxious face.

Clement didn't react, but frowned and said, "Isn't this very good!"

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

"Has the stock price risen?" Clement 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, the stock price has risen by 5 percent compared to yesterday."

"What? Five percent?"

Hearing this, Clement was taken aback.

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

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

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

He has already realized the problem. Someone wants to buy Standard Chartered Bank!

"who is it?"

Clement's face turned green, and he immediately stood up, walked quickly towards the investment department, and told his assistant as he walked, "You must mobilize all the funds you can immediately, immediately."

"Fully repurchase bank shares, we must not lose Standard Chartered Bank."

"yes."

The assistant didn't dare to neglect, and hurried back to his office to make a phone call to carry out Clement'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 in the case of investment failure in the United States, they cannot lose the main business of Standard Chartered Bank.

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

"How much did you buy?"

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

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

Although it is controlled by the Galaxy Fund, it has nothing to do with the Galaxy 4.9 Fund on the surface.

The main purpose of doing this is to avoid compulsory publicity of shares to a certain extent.

Su Shaoze next to him heard the words and nodded lightly. Although 37% of the shares is already a lot, there is still a big gap between the full control of Standard Chartered Bank.

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

"Yes, Chairman!"

This time has come to the decisive battle, and it depends on who can reach the 50% holding line first, and can complete the absolute control of Standard Chartered Bank.
