Reborn Capital Tycoon Chapter 246

  Chapter 246 One Million Dollars

  In the office of the Chairman of HSBC Bank

  Sha Ya stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, smoking a cigar, listening to the report of Shen Bi's investigation behind her, and hearing that it was Chen Yi who was secretly buying HSBC shares, Sha Ya turned around in disbelief.

   "You mean, Chen Sheng is buying HSBC shares?"

"Yes, not only that, I also inquired about the news that a week ago, Chen Sheng mortgaged all his properties to five financial institutions, namely Hang Seng Bank, Bank of East Asia, Standard Chartered Bank, Citibank, and Mitsubishi Bank. A financial institution has applied for a loan of three billion Hong Kong dollars."

  Sha Ya asked curiously: "What is he doing with so much loan?"

   Just finished speaking, Sha Ya saw Shen Bi's slightly ugly face, and then reacted abruptly, frowned and said, "Did you find out how many HSBC shares Chen Sheng bought today?"

  Shen Bi said: "About fifteen percent."

  Sha Ya listened, pondered for a while, and said: "I remember that Chen Sheng already held 5% of the company's shares before, that is to say, now he already holds 20% of the company's shares."

  He remembered telling Chen Yi before that he could only buy 10% of the shares of HSBC at most. The purpose, of course, was to not want the shares to be too concentrated in the hands of a certain shareholder.

  Now that Chen Yi is buying HSBC shares so aggressively, 'What do you want to do? ' Sha Ya was a little curious, he did not believe that Chen Yi would be so unwise and greedy enough to annex HSBC.

  Not to mention whether he agrees with other shareholders, even the Governor's Mansion will never allow HSBC to be acquired by others, especially Chen Yi's identity is still Chinese.

  Although HSBC's stock has been declining since last year due to the impact of the Hong Kong environment, there is no problem with HSBC's operating conditions, and its revenue has not declined at all.

  The reason why the stock has been falling again is just a rational return to the actual value of the company. In this case, as long as Chen Yi is not stupid, he will not regard HSBC as an acquisition target.

  Since not, why did the other party provoke him.

  Yes, in Sha Ya's view, he has clearly told the other party that he can only hold 10% of HSBC's shares, and now Chen Yi has doubled this number, clearly provoking him.

   "What about the other three? How much has Hang Seng been acquired?"

   "Hang Seng has not been acquired much, because we hold a relatively large number of shares in Hang Seng Bank, and there are relatively few tradable shares of Hang Seng Bank in all markets. Chen Sheng's shareholding should be around 10%."

   "As for the specific situation of Bank of East Asia and Standard Chartered Bank, I don't know much about it. Today, the stock prices of the four exchanges have risen significantly. It is hard to say which one Chen Sheng is targeting."

"However, judging from the funds in Chen Sheng's hands, I guess the probability of Bank of East Asia is higher. Standard Chartered Bank is unlikely to be with us. The board of directors of Standard Chartered Bank is notoriously xenophobic, unless Chen Sheng can do it in one fell swoop. Hold 50% of the shares of Standard Chartered Bank, otherwise..."

  Compared with HSBC, the board of directors of Standard Chartered Bank is more repulsive to Chinese. At present, HSBC has two Chinese directors, Chartered Ship King and Chen Yi, but the board of directors of Standard Chartered Bank does not have a single Chinese director.

  Standard Chartered is very xenophobic, even more so than HSBC.

  If Chen Yi wants to acquire Standard Chartered Bank, the difficulty will not be lower than the acquisition of HSBC, because both banks have the right to issue banknotes in Hong Kong dollars.

  Sha Ya casually threw the cigars into the trash basket at her feet, turned to look at Shen Bi, and confessed: "Help me reserve a place at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel in a while, and contact Chen Sheng by the way, so that he must give it to him tonight."

   Regardless of whether Chen Yi wants to acquire Bank of East Asia or not, at present, he does not want Chen Yi to get involved in the financial industry, because once they do, they will inevitably become competitors.

  As long as Chen Yi does not enter the financial field and does not have a banking institution in his hand, then he can continue to support the other party and tie it firmly with HSBC.

   But if Chen Yi is unwilling to be lonely and insists on reaching out to fight against HSBC, then he can only say sorry.

   After all, peers are enemies.

  With Chen Yi's development speed, once the other party enters the financial field, the lack of security will affect the status of HSBC Bank in Xiangjiang.

the other side

  Boss Chen is in his office, listening to what Hong Shihui and the others have gained today. I have to say that this time the gain is no less than the previous bottom-hunting plan.

  Four banks, 15% of the shares of HSBC, were acquired in the market before the stock market closed in the afternoon.

The same goes for Bank of East Asia and Standard Chartered, and there were no accidents. (Chen Yi of the two banks had already said hello in advance.) At Chen Yi's direct premium of 20% to 30%, many people sold their hands one after another. shares in the two companies.

  The only surprise was Hang Seng Bank. After Hong Shihui and others bought about 5% of the shares, no one in the market sold Hang Seng Bank shares anymore, which is a pity.

   "Boss, today we have acquired a total of 15% of HSBC, 5.8% of Hang Seng Bank, 20% of Bank of East Asia and 18% of Standard Chartered Bank."

   "The four banks all adopt the method of premium acquisition, with an average premium of about 30%, and the total purchase price is about 1.864 billion."

"Now we hold a total of 20% of HSBC shares, 9.8% of Hang Seng Bank shares, 20% of Bank of East Asia shares, and 28% of Standard Chartered Bank shares. .”

   "Except for Hang Seng Bank and Bank of East Asia, boss, you are now the largest shareholder of HSBC and Standard Chartered Bank."

  Hearing this, Chen Yi, who was sitting on the boss's chair, couldn't help swallowing. He didn't expect that he would become the largest shareholder of the two major banks in Xiangjiang in just one day.

  According to the market value of the four banks in the future, with the shares of the four banks he currently holds, he may be able to directly secure the position of the richest man in the mainland.

   This is simply a lucrative business. No wonder the guy surnamed Sun in the island country in his previous life liked investing so much.

  Emotions, this is the real business to make a fortune.

  Thinking of this, Chen Yi has the feeling that he will not engage in real estate or develop industries, so he can just be an investor with peace of mind.

   Not to mention making money like this, it doesn't have to be too hard.

  With the future world-renowned companies in his mind, he only needs to master one investment company to be able to sit firmly on the Diaoyutai and become the world's richest man easily.
