The faces of more than a dozen shareholders changed drastically.

As a shareholder of Hang Seng Bank, I don't know how many dirty things it has done over the years. It simply cannot withstand investigation.

Shen Dong wants to kill them.

Hals slammed the table and said sternly, "Shen Dong, do you want to fight to the death with us?"

Shen Dong smiled and said, "The fish will definitely die, but the net will definitely not break. I'm not looking down on you, but are you as strong as the Lion Mercenaries? What was their fate? More than 5,000 people were killed without a complete body. Can you afford to play with me?"

Seeing that everyone was silent, Shen Dong became more aggressive and said, "I'll give you a chance today. The market value of Hang Seng Bank has dropped to 3.5 billion US dollars. I will buy all your shares at this price."

"Whoever is willing to sell, I promise not to pursue his past debts. But whoever refuses to sell will have to spend the rest of his life in prison, and the chances of him walking out alive are probably slim. Of course, if any of you have not committed any crime, then it doesn't matter."

At this point, Shen Dong looked at his watch and said, "I'll give you ten minutes to think about it. Life and death depends on your thoughts."

All the shareholders were so shocked by Shen Dong's strength that they were speechless.

So domineering!

This is going to be a complete breakup with these people!

The fourth shareholder, Cole, said sternly, "Mr. Shen, there is an old saying in Xia that goes, 'Leave a way for others so that we can meet again in the future.' If you drive us away in this way, it will be equivalent to establishing more than ten enemies in the market. We will do everything we can to bring down your Tengfei Group. Are you ready?"

Shen Dong smiled and said, "There are many companies around the world that are qualified to be my enemies, but unfortunately none of you are included. Cole, right? I have investigated you, the top five shareholders, and you have committed many crimes over the years. If only one of them is exposed, you will have to spend decades in prison."

Cole angrily asked, "Are you trying to scare me?"

Shen Dong said calmly: "Whether it is a bluff or not, you will know it later. I just want your words now. Are you going to sell your shares or not?"

Looking at Shen Dong's calm and deep eyes, Cole felt like Alexander and quickly looked away, not daring to look at him again.

Shen Dong took advantage of the victory and asked, "Mr. Cole, is this question difficult to answer?"

Cole bit his lip and uttered a word with difficulty: "Sell."

Shen Dong smiled brilliantly and said, "That's right. Don't you think about it? There are all kinds of people in prison. If you go in, you will probably die in less than a week. Without your protection, your wife and children will be killed by the people you offended in the past, Mr. Hals, don't you think so?"

Hals was not a fool, so he could naturally hear that Shen Dong was blatantly threatening them.

"Hehehe"

Hals suddenly smiled, gave Shen Dong a thumbs up, and said, "Mr. Shen, you win. I accept my defeat with all my heart."

Shen Dong said: "Thank you for your cooperation. Ah Hao, you will be responsible for the rest of the matter. The transaction must be completed before 6 pm today."

Song Zihao asked: "Then should we investigate the past?"

Shen Dong said: "Only investigate those shareholders who don't sell their shares."

Song Zihao nodded and said, "I understand."

Chapter 589: Selection of Bank President

Shen Dong stood up and said to Hardy Buck, "Mr. Buck, your son's use of his position to embezzle the reserve funds of Hang Seng Bank will not go away. I have already found a lawyer and am going to take him to court. I hope you don't mind."

Hardy Buck laughed and said, "This is your power."

Shen Dong shrugged and said, "I hope it won't implicate you."

After saying that, Shen Dong looked at him deeply, then turned around and left with Ou Yongen.

Others, led by Song Zihao, handled the purchase of Hang Seng Bank shares.

Without any surprises, all shareholders agreed to sell their shares.

At seven o'clock in the evening, Song Zihao reported to Shen Dong that they had acquired 96% of Hang Seng Bank's shares.

In other words, the entire Hang Seng Bank has become Shen Dong's private bank.

Shen Dong, who was walking with the four girls, was naturally very happy.

Ou Yongen's heart moved, and she asked, "Husband, has anyone been appointed as the president of Hang Seng Bank? You won't hire a Hawkish person anymore, right?"

Shen Dong said: "Middle-level and even middle-to-high-level managers of Tengfei Group can come from any country in the world, but the top management cannot. Hang Seng Bank's future is related to many of my investment plans, so it is more appropriate to find a Hong Kong Islander or a mainlander."

Shen Dong plans to affiliate Tengfei Investment Company to Hang Seng Bank to form an independent investment department, which will be headed by Song Zihao and report directly to Shen Dong.

As for the position of President of Hang Seng Bank, Shen Dong will definitely choose a Xia national.

Li Xinxin smiled and said, "Yong En, do you have a suitable person to recommend to your husband?"

Ou Yongen nodded and said, "Liu Dong, the president of Standard Chartered Bank."

Standard Chartered Bank has always been controlled by Hang Seng Bank. In other words, the current Standard Chartered Bank is also Shen Dong’s private bank.

Shen Dong was stunned and said, "I remember that the president of Standard Chartered Bank seems to be a Hawkish person, right?"

Ou Yongen smiled and said, "Liu Dong was once the president of Standard Chartered Bank. Five years ago, he was arrested by the police for a corruption case and was sent to prison. He was released six months ago after serving his sentence."

Shen Dong asked curiously: "How do you know so clearly?"

Ou Yongen said: "Because Liu Dong is my godfather's classmate. He is now able to work in a financial company, thanks to my godfather's help."

Shen Dong asked: "How much money did he embezzle?"

Ou Yongen said, "Three hundred thousand US dollars. When Liu Dong was the president of Standard Chartered Bank, he offended many shareholders of Hang Seng Bank because of his upright character and unwillingness to make changes. Five years ago, Liu Dong was framed and imprisoned by then-Vice President Renault. My godfather fought this case for him. Due to the non-cooperation of Standard Chartered Bank and Hang Seng Bank, it was difficult to obtain evidence and he lost the case in the end. This incident has always been on my godfather's mind."

Shen Dong shook his head and said, "Those who are not of our race must have different hearts. The position of the president of Standard Chartered Bank is so important, how could we allow Liu Dong, a Hong Kong Islander, to control it? Liu Dong is ignorant of the times and deserves this disaster."

Ou Yongen said: "Husband, Liu Dong is the best friend of my godfather and father, and he took good care of me when I was a child. If you don't trust him, then you can just give him a good position."

Shen Dong waved his hand and said, "Hang Seng Bank is our private bank. The president's character is the first priority, followed by ability. I will hold a press conference at 10 a.m. tomorrow. Please ask Liu Dong to go there. After the press conference, we can have a good chat."

Ou Yongen said happily: "That's great. As long as you meet Uncle Liu, you will definitely be impressed by his talent and ability."

Shen Dong said: "If he is so good, why do you recommend him to me now?"

Ou Yongen said: "You didn't have a bank before."

Shen Dong was completely speechless.

At ten o'clock the next morning, Shen Dong held a press conference in the conference room of Tengfei Hotel.

Although the preparations were a bit hasty, his title as the richest man still attracted dozens of media reporters to attend.

Shen Dong coughed and said, "Everyone, at this press conference today, I only have one piece of news to announce to you. That is, starting from 6:30 yesterday afternoon, I, Shen Dong, acquired 96% of the shares of Hang Seng Bank and became the largest shareholder of Hang Seng Bank."

"Wow"

As soon as this sentence came out, the whole scene was in an uproar.

"real or fake?"

"Oh my god, Hang Seng Bank has changed its owner. This is incredible."

"Something big happened at Hang Seng Bank recently. Maybe it was Shen Dong who did it."

"Amazing! They quietly accomplished what the four major families wanted to do but couldn't do."

"Ninety-six percent of the shares, how is this different from a private bank?"

"Is this the method used by the richest man in Hong Kong? It's a bit too powerful."

"I don't understand why those hawks would agree to sell their shares."

........

A group of reporters were talking about it.

Song Zihao coughed and said into the microphone: "Please be quiet. Next is ten minutes of question time. Anyone who has questions please raise your hand."

When the reporters heard this, they all raised their hands.

Shen Dong asked: "Have the reporters from Asia Television arrived?"

"coming."

A beautiful girl stood up and said, "I am Shen Cuicui, a reporter for Asia TV Daily Finance."

Shen Dong smiled and said, "So you are a relative. Do you have anything to ask?"

Shen Cuicui asked, "Mr. Shen, may I ask how you got the shareholders of Hang Seng Bank to agree to sell their shares? Was it because the Hang Seng Bank share price plummeted recently or because you paid a high price to buy it?"

Shen Dong said: "It should be both."

Shen Cuicui said, "There is news that Philip Buck, CEO of Hang Seng Bank, lost 6 billion US dollars in the Japanese stock market crash. Is this true?"

Shen Dong nodded and said, "It's true. Of the 6 billion US dollars, half is deposits and the other half is reserves."

"I rely on."

"Big news."

"No wonder Hang Seng Bank has fallen so much. It turns out it was all thanks to Philip Buck."

......

Everyone exclaimed in surprise.

A reporter raised his hand and asked, "Mr. Shen, since Hang Seng Bank has such a problem, why do you still want to take on this hot potato? Aren't you afraid of losing everything?"

Shen Dong smiled and said, "Hang Seng Bank has many high-quality assets, including water companies, oil companies, Standard Chartered Bank, etc. I am willing to take over because our Ascendas Group has the ability to handle this crisis. Once the crisis is over, Hang Seng Bank will surely rise from the ashes like a phoenix."

"Six billion US dollars is not a small amount. If you quote it like this, aren't you afraid that the bank's big clients will leave?"

Shen Dong waved his hand and said domineeringly: "It's only 6 billion US dollars. It's not a big problem for our Tengfei Group. As for the big customers, I believe they will make the right choice."

Chapter 590 Exit the Bank

Just as he finished speaking, the door of the conference room was pushed open, and twelve American men in suits walked in.

Although they are not many in number, each of them has extraordinary aura, and when they walk, they give people a feeling as heavy as a mountain.

The person is not good!

Such an idiom appeared in everyone's mind.

Shen Dong gave a playful smile.

He had long guessed that representatives of these Eagle Sauce consortiums would appear at his press conference.

In the crowd, Jian Aowei, Ou Yongen and a man in his fifties frowned at the same time.

Ou Yongen asked: "What do they want to do here?"

The man said: "These people are all big shots in the Eagle Sauce Consortium. They are probably trying to suppress Mr. Shen."

Ou Yongen was stunned and asked, "Uncle Liu, how do they suppress it?"

It turned out that this man was Liu Dong, whom Ou Yongen recommended to Shen Dong.

Liu Dong adjusted his glasses and said, "The foundation of a bank is deposits. As long as these wealthy Eagle Sauce people withdraw their deposits, it will bring extremely bad effects to Hang Seng Bank."

Ou Yongen quickly asked: "What should we do then?"

Liu Dong said: "Mr. Shen must find a way to make depositors feel at ease with Hang Seng Bank in order to eliminate these influences."

Jian Aowei said: "It's too difficult."

Liu Dong said: "But I found that Mr. Shen seemed very calm, as if he had expected these people to come."

Ou Yongen said: "I believe Brother Dong will be fine."

Shen Dong on the stage looked at the group of people and said with a laugh, "Do you have anything to say?"

Standing in the front was a middle-aged man with half-white hair. He said coldly, "We are a major customer of Hang Seng Bank and have decided to withdraw all funds starting today."

Shen Dong said, "Who are you, sir? How much money have you deposited in Hang Seng Bank?"

The middle-aged man said, "My name is Alan, and I'm the president of Coca-Cola Asia. Our company has deposited about 1.2 billion US dollars in your Hang Seng Bank."

Shen Dong nodded and said, "So, you are indeed a very big customer. But Mr. Allen, you have to understand that according to the agreement, once you withdraw 1.2 billion US dollars, the interest you have accumulated with great difficulty will be gone. That is tens of millions of US dollars."

In order to attract high-quality customers like Coca-Cola, major banks generally offer very high annual interest rates, at least around 7% per year.

Even if only half of the 1.2 billion US dollars were in time deposits, the loss would be at least 40 million US dollars.

Allen said coldly: "It's just a small loss. We at Coca-Cola can afford it."

A white woman dressed strangely said, "Mr. Allen is right. Our Ou Ya Cosmetics Company's 500 million US dollars in deposits will also be withdrawn from Hang Seng Bank. Although the loss of interest is about 20 million, it is better than not being able to withdraw a penny in the future."

Shen Dong smiled and said, "Ma'am, you don't need to exaggerate here. I know that your Eagle Sauce Consortium doesn't trust me, and it's normal for you to want to withdraw funds. But saying that the Hang Seng Bank under my control will go bankrupt and leave depositors unable to withdraw a penny is a bit too much."

Allen said, "Mr. Shen owns 96% of the shares of Hang Seng Bank, which is almost equivalent to a personal bank. If you abscond with the money, we will all be doomed."
