I lost my vegetative state, and I became the richest man in the world

Chapter 1097 The Imperial Group officially swallowed the Standard Bank!

Yang Ming and Shen Yan talked secretly for more than half an hour.

After talking.

Shen Yan personally sent Yang Ming out.

At this time, Alina and Yingla were enjoying the beautiful night view of Victoria Peak and Victoria Harbour.

"It's beautiful!"

"Sir, the night view of Xiangjiang is really beautiful."

As the three most beautiful night scenes in the world, the Xiangjiang night scene is indeed unique, especially the headquarters of the Empire State Building in the distance, which looks even more amazing when the lights are turned on.

"Mr. Shen, let's go back first."

Shen Yan and his wife personally sent Yang Ming to the Rolls Royce.

He watched Sir Yang and others leave.

Shen Yan knew that the power of the Imperial Group and Sir Yang was getting stronger.

What Shen Yan didn't know was that Yang Ming didn't just want to swallow the Standard Bank, he even wanted to swallow the Huifeng Bank.

It's just that the particularity of Huifeng Bank may not be swallowed so easily.

Even if Imperial Group has the opportunity to become the first shareholder of Huifeng Bank, it will be difficult to control Huifeng Bank.

Only when Huifeng Bank is divided into two parts, Europe and Asia, will Yang Ming be able to swallow Huifeng Bank.

. . .

Villa in the mid-levels of Deep Water Bay.

Bao family.

On New Year's Eve, the bustle of Yang's house in the mid-level villa in Repulse Bay made Bao Yugang sigh and envy Sir Yang's New Year's Eve.

did not expect.

Some time ago, Dongfang Daily, the newspaper with the largest sales volume in Hong Kong, had just been swallowed.

Now it is rumored that the Imperial Group is going to acquire Standard Bank.

For Standard Bank, Bao Yugang is very clear, and his influence is also very strong.

"Father, the Imperial Group is going to buy the Standard Bank."

Wu Guangzhen came over and said.

First, Lloyds Bank announced the acquisition of Standard Bank, and then Imperial Group also announced the acquisition of Standard Bank.

With the power of Lloyds Bank, Bao Yugang, Wu Guangzhen and others feel that they are not the opponents of the Imperial Group.

Before the Bao family was divided into four, perhaps they still had the strength to participate in it.

Now the Bao family is divided into four, and the property is very clear.

Even if Bao Yugang continues to participate in the management of Global Group, the four sons-in-law of the Bao family will support him in acquiring Standard Bank.

Now Bao Yugang no longer thinks about it.

Because after the imperial group got involved, it was impossible for him to get involved again.

"Lloyds Bank is not an opponent of the Imperial Group."

The Imperial Group is not only very strong in its own capital flow, but also has a good relationship network in Country Y.

Today, Imperial Group's own first supersoft company has been listed, and its market value has exceeded 600 billion Hong Kong dollars. This kind of powerful business empire is beyond Bao Yugang's imagination.

He just hoped that when he left, he could find another way for the Bao family so that Wu Guangzhen and Sir Yang could move around more.

"We don't want to get involved in the acquisition of the Standard Bank by the Imperial Group. The most important thing for you is to contact Sir Yang. When I'm not around in the future, he can give you more directions."

"Yes, father." Wu Guangzhen immediately responded.

At this time, Bao Yugang and Wu Guangzhen were only looking at the Yang family in the Mid-Levels Villa in Repulse Bay, whether it was envy or something else.

Not far from Bao's house.

Li's family, Mid-Levels Villa, Deep Water Bay.

Li Jiacheng had already returned from get off work and had dinner with Zhuang Yueming.

Li Jiacheng went back to the study by himself.

However, Li Jiacheng also suddenly heard a phone call and learned that the Imperial Group was going to acquire the Standard Bank.

Historically, Li Jiacheng has not acquired other banks, mainly because Li Jiacheng swallowed Hutchison Whampoa.However, in Li Jiacheng's mind, how could he not want to control some banks.

Now Li Jiacheng is far behind in history. Only Changjiang Industrial Group has not been able to acquire Hutchison Whampoa and Xiangjiang Electric Lighting Company. The industry in Xiangjiang is far behind in history.

Now Li Jiacheng has also begun to invest in the country, but due to caution and other reasons, it is far inferior to the domestic investment of the Bao family and Wu Guangzhen.

Now, apart from being a little surprised, it seems normal to hear that the Imperial Group is going to acquire the Standard Bank.

The reason why most people in Xiangjiang pay attention is precisely because Zhada Bank is now one of the three major banks issuing banknotes in Xiangjiang, and it is also the second largest foreign bank, involving many depositors and investors in Xiangjiang.

If Imperial Group acquires Standard Bank, and Xiangjiang Bank is its main subsidiary bank, the impact will still be great.

Li Jiacheng stood up, looked out the window, and had to sigh that Sir Yang's layout was really getting bigger and bigger.

. . .

this night.

The news that the Imperial Group is going to acquire the Standard Bank has spread throughout Xiangjiang.

And Meris, who is far away in London, is already making preparations.

Now that Barlow has announced the news, it is also a direct confrontation with Lloyds Bank.

Among them, the European headquarters of the Imperial Group has been continuously buying shares in the Standard Bank in the stock market. The stock price offered by the European headquarters of the Imperial Group is significantly higher than the price of 750 pence per share offered by Lloyds Bank.

In this situation.

It is already unstoppable for Imperial Group to acquire Standard Bank.

Less than a week.

The European headquarters of Imperial Group announced that it has acquired more than 35% of the shares of Standard Bank, far exceeding the 12% shares held by the management of Standard Bank. largest shareholder.

Among them, Lloyds Bank acquired about 15% of the shares.

The rest are other institutional investors and retail investors, about 38% of the shares.

The acquisition of the European headquarters of the Imperial Group has not stopped yet, and will acquire more shares in Standard Bank.

When the European headquarters of the Imperial Group announced that it held 49% of the shares of Standard Zardar Bank, the remaining 24% of the shares were on the market.

Lloyds Bank issued, the Imperial Group is not only the largest shareholder of Standard Zarda Bank, but also has begun to hold a controlling stake, Lloyds Bank can only give up.

And announced that 10% of the shares will be sold to the Imperial Group at 800 pence a share.

In fact, this time the investment standard Zhada Bank, Lloyds Bank is already a loss.

In this case, the European headquarters of the Imperial Group raised the 49% stake in Standard Zarda Bank to 59% again.

In other words.

At this time, the largest shareholder of Standard Bank, Imperial Group, had 59% of the shares. The second largest shareholder was Lloyds Bank, which changed from 15% to 5%. The third largest shareholder has become the second largest shareholder again, and the remaining institutional investors in the market still have 12% of the shares.

This time, the Empire Group spent nearly 90 billion Hong Kong dollars to acquire the Standard Bank, and the acquisition speed was too fast.

Lloyds Bank, other capitals can't react.

Historically, why did Asian capitals such as Bao Yugang and Qiu Debo respond until July, mainly in May and June, when they were in a stalemate, Standard Bank has been turning to other capitals for help, However, in the end, only Asian investors played the role of 'white warrior'.

In fact, Bao Yu just wanted to swallow the Standard Bank, but he didn't have the strength.

Now the Imperial Group is really powerful, and it really wants to swallow the Standard Bank.
