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

at this time.

It's getting closer and closer to New Year's Eve.

When New Year's Eve has not yet come.

Yang Ming met Shen Yan at the mid-level villa in Repulse Bay.

The reason why he met Shen Yan.

Among them, one is about the acquisition of Air China Airlines by the Imperial Group from Huifeng Bank. Meris has already sent people to discuss these matters with Shen Yan.

Shen Yan didn't have any problems.

The other one, that is, Shen Yan also faced a problem.

He just turned 60 this year.

Historically, he officially retired in 1986 and left Huifeng Bank.

And it was that guard Pu who took his place.

Pu Weishi graduated from Kelsey Secondary School in 1948 and joined the Royal Bank of Scotland in the same year. In 1951, he served in the military and came to Hong Kong. Soon after arriving in Hong Kong, he participated in the Korean War and returned to Hong Kong immediately after the war.

In 1954, Pu Weishi joined Xiangjiang Huifeng Bank. After that, he worked in D country, Malaysia, Singapore, Sri Lanka, Dongyang and Y country branches.

In 1979, he was promoted to the general manager of the International Business Department, in charge of the country Z business, and then became the executive director in 1982.

Historically, in 1986, he succeeded the retired Sir Shen Yan and became the senior executive of HSBC Bank, and became the first chairman of HSBC Holdings Co., Ltd. in 1991.

Now because of Yang Ming's relationship, Shen Yan has not retired and left Huifeng Bank, and he is still the head class of Huifeng Bank.

Thanks to the cooperative fund between Huifeng Bank and Imperial Group, these years, Huifeng Bank's profits have been very high, and shareholder dividends have also been very high. It is precisely because of this that Shen Yan's position as the head of Huifeng Bank is very stable.

"Mr. Shen, you mean, if you want to retire, Pu Weishi will take your place?"

"Yes, Sir Young."

Shen Yan recognized Pu Weishi's ability.

Moreover, many shareholders also recognized Pu Weishi's ability.

After Shen Yan reached this age, the shareholders of Huifeng Bank have already started looking for other suitable executives to take Shen Yan's place.

Yang Ming thought that in history, it was this Weishi Pu who moved the headquarters of Huifeng Bank back to London.

In addition, Yang Ming's goal is to swallow Huifeng Bank.

If Pu Weishi is changed, it may be troublesome then.

It can be said that Shen Yan has made great contributions to Huifeng Bank since he became the head of Huifeng Bank. In addition to acquiring the No. 13 large-scale Ocean Milan Bank in M ​​country, its branch in Canada also swallowed up many local banks, allowing Huifeng Bank to expand its global layout.

That is to say, when acquiring the Royal Bank of England, the acquisition of the Royal Bank of England failed because Zada ​​Bank intervened.

Moreover, now that the Imperial Group has swallowed the Zarda Standard Bank, it looks even more different than in history.

"Is this guard Pu easy to talk to?" Yang Ming asked.

"Sir Yang, he is only serving European shareholders."

That is to say, this guard Pu is not easy to grasp.

What made Yang Ming most unhappy was that in history, it was Mr. Pu Weishi who announced to move the registered place of Huifeng Bank back to London, and then directly moved the headquarters back to London.

Yang Ming knew that this had a lot to do with the arrival of 97 and the worries of British investors.

However, this actually affected the financial status of Xiangjiang, and also affected the confidence of many investors in Xiangjiang.

Yang Ming looked at Shen Yan.

"Mr. Shen, if the Imperial Group wants to swallow Huifeng Bank, do you think it is possible?"

Is Imperial Group going to swallow Huifeng Bank?
Shen Yan was not surprised.

He just said: "Sir Yang, this is very difficult. At the beginning, our Huifeng Bank wanted to acquire the Royal Bank of England precisely because of the monopoly issues involved. In addition, the special status of the Royal Bank of England made our acquisition fall short in the end. Now that the Imperial Group has swallowed the Zarda Standard Bank, it may be even more difficult to swallow Huifeng Bank."

Yang Ming seemed to have guessed it.

"Then if Huifeng Bank is divided into the Asia-Pacific region and the European and American regions, what do you think of our Imperial Group's acquisition of the Asia-Pacific region of Huifeng Bank?"

Divide HSBC into two parts?

When Shen Yan heard this, he was a little surprised. He didn't know when Sir Yang thought of such a method.

Now, when he heard Sir Yang say that, it meant that Yang Ming had already bared his fangs.

Imperial Group really wants to swallow Huifeng Bank.

The Huifeng Bank is a global multinational bank, but the real market is mainly in Hong Kong and Asia.Although it also acquired banks in country M and other branches around the world, those branches did not bring much profit.

"Sir Yang, I'm afraid it will be very difficult." Shen Yan said directly.

"Mr. Shen, I think so. Although I haven't met Pu Weishi yet, according to what you said, if this Pu Weishi takes over your position, I am afraid that the Imperial Group and Huifeng Bank will not be able to cooperate as before. Although the Imperial Group now has banks such as Zhada Standard Bank and Overseas Trust Bank, it is still not enough for the Imperial Group. If it can swallow Huifeng Bank, it will be more important for the stability of Xiangjiang Financial."

In fact, what Yang Ming meant was that Huifeng Bank could not move its headquarters back to London.

"Sir Yang, what do you want to do?" Shen Yan asked.

"Either swallow Huifeng Bank completely, or swallow the Asia-Pacific part of Huifeng Bank. Besides, Mr. Shen, even if you retire at that time, I will re-hire you back to the Imperial Group as a cabinet member of the Imperial Group."

Now that Shen Yan is only 60 years old, in Yang Ming's opinion, he can still continue to work.

The directors of Huifeng Bank, such as John Bao and Mou Shili, were hired by Yang Ming to return to the Imperial Group.

"Sir Yang, I understand what you mean."

The two sides finished talking.

Shen Yao left.

Yang Ming was in his study, thought for a while, and asked Alina to call Meris and Ma Shimin respectively.

Among them, Meris is still in the office of the general manager of the Empire Group Building.

And Ma Shimin is in the Zhada Bank Building.

The headquarters of Zarda Standard Bank is still in London, but after the Imperial Group acquired Standard Zarda Bank, Ma Shimin brought some executives to Xiangjiang.

And in the original headquarters of Hong Kong Zhada Bank as the Asian headquarters.

Meris and Ma Shimin respectively received calls from Alina. They left their offices and went to meet Yang Ming at the mid-level villa in Repulse Bay by car.

Less than two hours.

Ma Shimin first drove to the mid-level villa in Repulse Bay.

Yang Ming was waiting for him in the study.

After Ma Shimin arrived, he had already learned that Yang Ming wanted to buy Huifeng Bank.However, the situation of Huifeng Bank is a bit complicated now. Among them, Shen Yan is about to retire, and Pu Weishi, who may take over Shen Yan's position, will definitely be very different from Shen Yan.

Ma Shimin did not expect that after the boss swallowed the Standard Bank of Zata, he would set his sights on Huifeng Bank again. (end of this chapter)
