v3 Chapter 814： Use Standard Chartered Bank

However, before starting to engage in the Kadoorie family, Xia Yu had to understand the thinking of the Swire Consortium.

"Wang Qi, what is the attitude of the Swire Consortium towards our acquisition of Xiangjiang Telephone Company?"

Wang Qi immediately replied: "Chairman, today I also sent someone to the door. The situation is worse than yesterday. Although I didn’t talk about it yesterday, at least I met Norman Kadoorie, but today our people are even Norman. · Kadoorie could not be seen, saying that he had gone to Omen, and the meaning of rejection was very obvious."

Xia Yu nodded slightly and chuckled nonchalantly: "Since the two parties are unwilling to sell, the other minority shareholders are probably acting on the face of the Swire Consortium. Even if we get the minority shareholders' equity, it will be useless."

Speaking of this, Xia Yu turned around and said: "However, these small shareholders, as well as the circulating shares on the market, still have to continue to follow up. How much can be purchased, the mosquitoes are meat no matter how small."

Fighting with the Taikoo Consortium, the temporary conditions are not yet sufficient, so killing Kadoorie is just right.

Cut off its powerful wings first, and see who else dares to get so close to Swire Group!

"The Swire Consortium only needs to take precautions and act on the Kadoorie family. There are a lot of voices in the Kowloon area!"

Upon hearing the chairman's order, Wang Qi took out the preparatory plan that had been prepared and handed it to Xia Yu.

"Chairman, this is a hands-on plan I made. It combines our strengths and can inflict the greatest damage on the Kadoorie family with minimal effort."

Xia Yu took it and looked at it carefully for ten minutes. He smiled with satisfaction and commented: "The plan is well done. Just follow this plan and let other companies help buy stocks. Wait until the right time. Announce, don't scare them now."

"Understand!" Wang Qi said with a smile, wondering what Roland's Kadoorie would look like if he knew the truth.

"A clever world is confused for a while, Roland Kadoorie doesn't know what a powerful opponent he rejects..."

With a sigh of emotion, Wang Qi took the plan and left the office quickly.

After Wang Qi left, Xia Yu took his assistant and went to Standard Chartered Bank in a low-key manner.

After coming back for so long, he did not take over Standard Chartered Bank. In London, although Xia Yu previously acquired 84.6% of Standard Chartered Bank’s equity, the equity was dealt with and was cross-held by multiple shell companies. Although the largest shareholder of Standard Chartered Bank is still Bright Fund, its shareholding ratio is only 21%.

Xia Yu did not publicize the acquisition of Standard Chartered Bank. In the UK, he can keep a low profile, not to mention Xiangjiang, whose public opinion is controlled by him. His media did not report any relevant news.

As for Ming Pao, Cheng Pao, Hong Kong Economic Journal and the like, they are all still having a headache for the markets of Hong Kong and Austria. There is no need to care about a small incident in the UK.

Because of this, Roland Kadoorie didn't know that Standard Chartered Bank had been controlled by Xia Yu, and he dared to refuse Xia Yu.

...

"Tuk tuk!"

Gals Liddell is the Chief Executive Officer of Hong Kong Standard Chartered Bank. Although he is only a professional manager and does not hold any equity in the bank, he knows Standard Chartered Bank well because of his long tenure. He has a good business operation and high prestige. .

At this moment, he was signing and issuing documents, and he heard a rapid knock on the door.

He frowned, followed the reputation, and said in a deep voice, "Come in."

After the subordinate came quickly, he said quickly: "President, Mr. Xia Yuxia, chairman of Jiuding Financial Group, is here, and he is being received by other colleagues. He wants to see you, do you think?"

Huh!

Gals Liddell stood up abruptly, shocking the reporting subordinates.

Gals Liddell did not explain, he immediately got out of his desk and said to his subordinates: "Where is the person, take me there!"

The subordinate was stunned, nodded ignorantly and led the way.

Soon, Gals Liddell saw Xia Yu, who was accompanied by other subordinates, in the reception room on the fifth floor. He walked over quickly and just wanted to say "Hello, Chairman" when Xia Yu shook his head slightly. , Gals Liddell was taken aback, and hurriedly swallowed his words back, and said respectfully, "Mr. Xia!"

Gals Liddell's performance really made all the subordinates confused, and all looked at each other.

"Hello there!"

Xia Yu said with a smile, and then said, "Could you please go to your office?"

"of course can!"

After speaking, Gals Liddell took Xia Yu and others to his office, and he realized that Xia Yu seemed to want to keep it secret, so he sent away all of his subordinates.

After closing the door, Gals Liddell finally breathed a sigh of relief, and greeted him respectfully again: "Chairman, I'm really sorry for keeping you waiting."

"It doesn't get in the way, you did a good job instead, and didn't let others know what they shouldn't know." Xia Yu said with a smile.

Gals Liddleton smiled.

Before the Standard Chartered Bank Group was acquired, Gals Liddell, as the head of the Hong Kong branch of Standard Chartered Bank and also the head of the Asian branch, naturally went to London to meet Xia Yu. He also knew that Standard Chartered Bank had changed without knowing it.

When he was in London, Xia Yu told him that his position remains the same, and he should continue to manage Standard Chartered Bank. He must also ensure that the news is not leaked as much as possible, and he will be told when something happens.

Gals Liddell has also been following the news of Xia Yu, and he certainly knew it when Xia Yu returned.

Only because he remembered the previous instructions, he couldn't take the initiative to visit Xia Yu even though he was itching in his heart. He could only wait for Xia Yu to come and find him like the harem concubine waiting for the emperor's grace.

After waiting for so many days, Xia Yu finally came, and Gals Liddell was relieved.

"Chairman, do you have any instructions for coming this time?"

Sitting opposite Xia Yu, Gals Liddell asked with concern.

"Well, there are a few things for you to do." Xia Yu nodded slightly.

Looking at Gals Liddell, who was leaning forward to listen, Xia Yu continued: "Now according to the information found, Standard Chartered Bank holds 35% of the shares of Baoyuan Investment Heung Kong Co., Ltd. HeungKong Telephone Co., Ltd. owns 5.1% of the shares, holds 5.7% of the shares of HeungKong Shanghai Shanghai Hotel Group, and holds 23.4% of the shares of China Light & Power Co., Ltd. Do not sell these shares If it is dropped, let me arrange it later."

"For the time being, Baoyuan Investment in Heung Kong Co., Ltd. will leave the other three companies. You mobilize the resources of Standard Chartered Bank to acquire as much as possible the equity of minority shareholders. When it comes to equity of the Kadoorie family, the Swire Consortium and the Liang family, you should not go. Move, understand?"

Gals Liddell's heart shuddered, and he immediately replied: "I understand, I'll make arrangements later."

After speaking, Gals Liddell hesitated for a moment and asked: "Chairman, do you want to do something against the Kadoorie family?"

Xia Yu didn't conceal his own person, nodded and said, "Yes."

But the specific reasons were not explained.

Upon seeing this, Gals Liddell decisively crushed his curiosity.

"By the way, how is the business relationship between Standard Chartered Bank and the Swire Consortium?" After thinking about it, Xia Yu suddenly asked.

Gals Liddell immediately replied: "It was okay before But since last year, the business volume of the Swire Consortium has decreased. I have specifically investigated that it was not assigned to HSBC, but to others. Foreign banks have made the Swire Consortium more concealed."

"However, Standard Chartered Bank also holds shares of many listed companies under the Swire Consortium. Although there are many and small, there are still many types. I can't remember the specifics. It takes a few days to sort out."

Just when Gals Liddell thought that Xia Yu wanted to do something against the Swire Consortium, he heard Xia Yu say: "That's it, you don’t want to sell the stocks of companies under the Swire Consortium anymore. You have to keep inhaling. If this increases operating costs and operating difficulties, you can tell me directly and I will deal with it."

"Understand!" The pressure in Gals Liddell's heart dropped sharply, and the chairman of the secret path was reasonable.

"Go, speed up the efficiency, time is tight, but be careful not to leak the wind."

"I know!"
