v2 Chapter 428: Impact burst table (2 sheets in 1)
Taking advantage of the chaos in the Hong Kong stock market, the Kowloon Investment Company frantically absorbed the shares of Hong Kong Telecom and Standard Chartered Bank in the stock market. In just a few days, it successfully absorbed more than 5% of the shares of Standard Chartered Bank and 5% of the shares of Hong Kong Telecommunications Company, becoming the largest shareholder of Standard Chartered Bank and the second largest shareholder of Hong Kong Telecommunications Company. However, these are quietly absorbed from the stock market, and each account does not exceed 5%, so there is no need to disclose the identity of the shareholders.
Victoria Peak Villa, golf course.
Henry hit a ball with a chic swing, looking far and wide, and the golf ball went smoothly into the hole. Although Henry doesn't play this sport very much, golf is just a case for him, who is as smart as a demon. "How's things going?" Henry turned his head to look at the CEO Anruida of the Kowloon Investment Company, and asked faintly.
"Chairman, most of the remaining shares of the two companies are in the hands of the remaining major shareholders. I think it's time for a formal showdown with them!" An Rui Da said.
Henry straightened his shoulders and said, "Well, let's showdown!"
"An Rui Da, I hope that before I leave Hong Kong, Kowloon Investment Company can acquire Standard Chartered Bank and Hong Kong Telecommunications Company!"
"Yes!"
...
United Kingdom, Standard Chartered Bank headquarters.
"What does the Kowloon Investment Company mean? They took advantage of the fire and wanted to acquire Standard Chartered Bank?! Well, anyway, since they proposed the acquisition, we will immediately notify the major shareholders to discuss the process! Singapore's wealthy Qiu Deba and the ship Wang Baoyugang is the major shareholder of Standard Chartered Bank, especially Qiu Deba. He holds more than 15% of the shares and is the largest shareholder of Standard Chartered Bank!" A British man in his 50s said solemnly.
"Okay, Mr. Robert!"
...
Qiu Deba is a banking tycoon. He is not only the largest shareholder of Standard Chartered Bank, but also established Maybank. Today, Maybank has become the largest and most well-known bank in Malaysia!
However, under the Asian financial crisis, Qiu Deba suffered heavy losses and a major economic crisis appeared!
"Dad, since someone wants to buy Standard Chartered Bank, let's simply sell the shares of Standard Chartered Bank! Malayan Banking is our foundation. Now +∮+∮+∮+∮, m.∧.c¤om economic pressure. Great. Hong Kong is under Soros’ attack at this moment. I am worried that the Asian financial crisis will continue. If Soros attacks Malaysia again, and we don’t have enough funds to protect it, then Maybank may even go bankrupt. !" Qiu Deba's eldest son said, "Dad, we can only tear down the east wall and make up the west wall!"
When Qiu Deba heard this, he couldn't help but hesitate. Standard Chartered Bank is one of the Hong Kong dollar issuing banks with huge development potential. In 1986, he and Bao Yugang and others blocked the hostile acquisition of Standard Chartered Bank by Lloyds Bank of the United Kingdom. They joined forces and finally defeated Lloyds Bank with a bid of 100 million pounds in the last few days and obtained 7% of Standard Chartered Bank. , Now telling him to let go, really reluctant to bear it!
Hong Kong.
"Chairman, Qiu Deba seems unwilling to sell shares!" An Rui Da came to Henry and reported.
Henry sat on a special red sandalwood chair with his chin in his hands, "If you refuse to sell? Let him sell if you refuse to sell!" Henry's eyes flashed with a gleam of light, and he told Anruida, "No matter what In any way, in short, you have to force him to submit!"
"Yes!"
Before long, someone suddenly dumped a large amount of Malaysian ringgits on the Malaysian stock market. For a while, it caused panic. Soros was about to attack Malaysia again, and the ringgit was about to depreciate...
The three became tigers, and the panic gradually spread. Bank runs in Malaysia are very serious. People who exchange dollars form a long queue of tens of meters. Even if they can't exchange dollars, they still ask for money. Instead of putting it in the bank and turning it into waste paper, it's better to buy something that is cost-effective!
Qiu Deba's eldest son Qiu Deming rushed into Qiu Deba's office at this time, "Dad, if this continues, Maybank will not be able to hold it sooner or later!" Qiu Deming shouted.
Qiu Deba shook his head decadently, and sighed: "The only solution now is to sell the shares of Standard Chartered Bank to get funds to solve the current predicament!"
Qiu Deming was overjoyed and said loudly, "Dad, I will notify the people of the Kowloon Investment Company!"
"Well, go!"
Within two days, Qiu Deba sold all the shares of Standard Chartered Bank in his hand to the Kowloon Investment Company. The shares were another 18%, valued at US$100 million. At the same time, the Kowloon Company acquired 7.5% of the shares from Bao Yugang, the king of the ship, and Lloyds Bank is also willing to give up 10% of its shares.
In the end, the Kowloon Investment Company obtained a total of 75.5% of the shares of Standard Chartered Bank, reaching absolute control. The very famous Standard Chartered Bank in Hong Kong and even in Asia has been successfully transferred to Henry's name!
The acquisition of Hong Kong Telecom is much simpler than the acquisition of Standard Chartered Bank.
The parent company of Hong Kong Telecom is a British company called "Dadong", which holds 55% of the shares and has absolute controlling rights in Hong Kong Telecom. However, due to the rise of the Internet, Hong Kong Telecom's profit has dropped significantly. British Dadong Company originally planned to sell the Hong Kong Telecommunications Company. Therefore, the two sides hit it off immediately. As long as the money is in place, the Hong Kong Telecommunications Company will be offered with both hands in minutes!
The market value of Hong Kong Telecom is very high, valued at more than US$0 billion. The Kowloon Investment Company expressed that it is willing to partly pay a premium and spend a total of US$00 billion to acquire its shares. Soon, I agreed to the convenience.
In more than a week, Standard Chartered Bank and Hong Kong Telecom changed hands, which immediately caused a huge sensation in Hong Kong. When did the Kowloon Investment Company hang up like this? Everyone was stunned.
However, on the day when the contract was officially signed, the citizens of Hong Kong saw Henry's figure on TV, and it became clear. It turns out that the behind-the-scenes owner of the Kowloon Investment Company is Henry Williams, the richest man in the world!
For a time, the Hong Kong media reported on Henry's appearance in Hong Kong.
United States.
"Why is he there?! I hope I don't ruin my good deeds!" The quiet night, the breeze was blowing, and the moonlight shone through the glass into the bedroom. Soros was lying on the bed, frowning, not knowing what was going on in his heart, and suddenly he became nervous.
At this moment, Hong Kong is surging!
Li Jiacheng, Zheng Yutong, a large number of wealthy people and senior officials of the Hong Kong government went to Victoria Peak, which is the villa where Henry lived, to visit.
Standard Chartered Bank is one of the largest banks in Hong Kong, with millions of Hong Kong citizens' depositors and a huge influence.
Hong Kong Telecom basically monopolizes Hong Kong's communications industry.
ATV Group and Ming Pao monopolized the media industry in Hong Kong.
Henry's influence on Hong Kong was unprecedentedly strong for a time, and countless people have to raise their noses to survive!
For example, Li Jiacheng and his like, although they are real estate tycoons, but if they provoke Henry, then ATV Group, "Ming Pao" will make scandals every day, breaking the news of housing quality problems, three people will become tigers, the company's stock price will definitely plummet! In addition, without bank loan assistance, the company's development speed is fettered. Therefore, no matter where you look at it, these Hong Kong tycoons dare not easily offend Henry.
...
With so many people here, Henry naturally wanted to host a banquet for them. And the purpose of their trip is to make good friends with Henry; second, to explore the tone. After all, Henry enters so many industries, everyone is more afraid of him entering his own industry; third, to seek help, Soros attacked Hong Kong, and Henry was in Hong Kong. With so many properties, there is no reason to just ignore it!
The banquet began very quickly, and everyone was toasting Henry one after another.
"Mr. Williams, hello, nice to meet you, I toast you with this glass of wine."
"I did it, you are free!"
"I also toast Mr. Williams! I've done this drink. Mr. Williams, please feel free."
"..."
Henry took a sip of the red wine glass and smiled faintly. Different status and drinking are different. A toast of a low-status to a high-status not only has to drink up a glass of wine, but also cannot ask the other party to drink all the wine in the glass.
Others feel free to drink as much as they want, or even not to drink.
"Mr. Williams, this is Director Ke Xiuwenke, Financial Secretary of the Hong Kong Government!" Li Jiacheng introduced to Henry at this time.
"Hello, Director Ke." Henry stretched out his hand and said hello with a smile.
"Haha, Mr. Williams is really the leader of young talents in the world. It is a great honor to see him today!" Ke Xiuwen shook hands with Henry with a smile on his face, said.
"Director Ke Mizan!"
"Hehe, Mr. Williams is really humble." After Director Ke finished, he specifically looked at Li Jiacheng, and immediately, Li Jiacheng said to Henry, "Mr. Williams, what do you think of the current economic situation in Hong Kong?"
Henry chuckled in his heart, what else to look at, didn't he just want to get me into the gang.
"Ahem," Henry deliberately cleared his throat, and then said, "Hong Kong's current economic situation is very dangerous. International speculators with Soros at the core are attacking the Hong Kong stock market."
"Yes, that's right." Li Jiacheng stared at Henry and said to Henry in a sincere tone, "Mr. Williams, in fact, we are here this time and we are asking for something!"
Li Ka-shing said, "The good or bad of the Hong Kong economy is related to our vital interests. Mr. Williams, you can have more businesses in Hong Kong than all of us. If the Hong Kong economy is messed up by Soros, then the loss will be the heaviest. It's you too. So, we hope you can join hands with us and fight Soros together!"
Henry took a sip of red wine, pretending to be contemplative. After a while, he raised his head and smiled: "Of course, for my own benefit, I will promise you!"
Ke Xiuwen felt a little excited when he heard this. Prior to this, although the Hong Kong government had received savings support from mainland China, Soros was a well-known capital crocodile in the country after all. This economic war is protracted and many changes are unpredictable. The Hong Kong government has no guarantee of victory at all. But this time with Henry joining, it was like taking a reassurance.
"Mr. Williams, with you joining, Soros has no fear at all!" Ke Xiuwen laughed.
Henry smiled lightly, not denying it. In fact, without Henry's presence, Soros is not Hong Kong's opponent. His presence is only to accelerate Soros' defeat.
When the banquet was about to end, Li Jiacheng pretended to ask casually: "Mr. Williams, Hong Kong's real estate has been in a downturn in the past two years. It is an opportunity to buy the bottom!"
Henry smiled in his heart. This is clearly testing himself. Hong Kong is so big. If I come to grab your meat, would you really want to?
Seeing Li Jiacheng's slightly nervous expression, Henry shrugged and smiled: "Okay, I didn't want to get involved in real estate in Hong Kong, after all, Hong Kong is too much. However, thanks to Mr. Li, I think mosquitoes are meat. . Moreover, this is still a good opportunity for bargaining, of course it should not be missed!"
When Li Jiacheng heard this, the corners of his mouth twitched, and his expression suddenly became unnatural. Alas, isn't this just picking up a rock and hitting him in the foot? No one else wants to get involved in real estate, but he even invited him...
"Mr. Li, go slowly!"
Henry looked at Li Jiacheng's leaving back and couldn't help laughing.
...
The next day, Henry didn't have anything. The news about Henry joining the Hong Kong government to fight against Soros was spread in the major newspapers!
The morale of Hong Kong citizens was greatly boosted, and the stock market rose rapidly after the opening day.
"With the world's richest man joining us, Soros is a bird!"
"According to Henry Williams, who has hundreds of billions of dollars, it's no problem to ravage Soros this crocodile!"
"Soros, if you are acquainted, get out of Hong Kong!"
"..."
The United States, the headquarters of the Quantum Fund, Soros sits on the top of the conference room with a serious face.
"Is the news of Henry Williams helping Hong Kong true?" Soros glanced at everyone gloomily and asked loudly.
A man leaning on his left replied: "Mr. Soros, Henry Williams has not made any official remarks. However, the wind cave is coming. According to our investigation, yesterday, Hong Kong rich and government officials went together. Henry Williams’s home was a guest. In the meantime, Henry seemed to agree..."
Soros frowned when he heard the words, and remained silent.
At this time, the door of the conference room opened, and a young female secretary hurried in.
"Mr. Soros, Henry Williams just called you on TV!" The female secretary whispered in Soros' ear~lightnovelpub.net~.
"Have you recorded it?"
"Recorded, sir!" The female secretary took out a videotape from her bag.
"Let it go now!"
"Yes!"
The female secretary turned on the TV and video recorder in the meeting room, and then the award video tape was put in.
The picture begins. Henry is sitting on a rocking chair on the open-air balcony with a large umbrella to block the sun. The distant view in the video is the magnificent and exquisite Hong Kong.
"Hello, Soros, this is Henry Williams. You must have received the news a long time ago... Yes, I have decided to help the Hong Kong government resist your attack. Therefore, I ask you and the national speculators to leave Hong Kong immediately. , Otherwise you will be at your own risk!"
Henry said lazily. However, none of the people watching the video in the conference room looked relaxed...
