You must know that Standard Chartered's shares are a hot commodity, and there are many people who want to buy them. Such stocks are usually acquired at a premium, and Zhao Hong does not want to break this rule.

Besides, taking advantage will lead to big losses!

"Haha, don't be too busy to refuse. My old man doesn't want to go to the sword or the frying pan. The main thing is that when our Bao family has financial difficulties in the future, Meisheng just wants to help. How about it?" Bao Daheng said with a smile.

He doesn't have much money left now, and what he cares most about is the family fortune he built alone. Although his son-in-law Wu Guangzheng is pretty good, there is no guarantee that he will have to do some planning behind his back.

At present, it can be seen that the future development of the Zhao family will definitely be brighter, and it is still very useful to ask for a favor at this time.

After hearing what Tycoon Bao said, Zhao Hong thought about it and agreed. You must know that even in 2020, the Bao family is still one of the four major families and is still prosperous.

Next, Zhao Hong chatted with Bao Daheng for a few words. Seeing that he was already very tired, he said goodbye in time and left.

Originally, Zhao Hong wanted to acquire Qiu Deba's shares through Bao Daheng's relationship, but seeing that the old man was not energetic, he had no choice but to say nothing.

But in the end, Tycoon Bao also took the initiative to inform him, which was pretty good.

"Father-in-law, why do we want to sell Standard Chartered shares to Zhao Hong? We have worked so hard for these shares!" Wu Guangzheng sent Zhao Hong away and then returned to his father-in-law's study. He saw that his father-in-law looked very good.

, so I couldn’t help but say it.

Tycoon Bao saw his son-in-law who looked puzzled. He pointed to the seat next to him and said, "Haha, do you think we can acquire Standard Chartered?"

Wu Guang was sitting on the sofa next to him according to his father-in-law's order, when he heard what Bao Daheng said.

"That's for sure. As long as the father-in-law wants to acquire it, it will be easy." Wu Guangzheng looked at his father-in-law with admiration. Although his father-in-law has lost a lot of weight and still has silver hair flying, he is still as powerful as a tiger.

exist.

He admired his father-in-law from the bottom of his heart and believed that nothing could trouble him.

Although Bao Daheng felt very comfortable after hearing this, he still shook his head and said, "If I could, I would have bought it long ago."

You must know that in 1986, he made great determination and prepared billions of dollars, but Standard Chartered made a very helpless move.

That is the "poison pill" plan. Its form is that once an unauthorized party acquires a large share of the target company (usually 10% to 20% of the shares), the poison pill plan will be activated, causing new shares to flood the market.

Once the poison pill is triggered, all other shareholders have the opportunity to buy new shares at a low price.

This greatly dilutes the acquirer's equity and makes the acquisition expensive, thus achieving the purpose of resisting the acquisition.

This method of operation was invented in 1982. Since then, many companies have used this method to deal with hostile takeovers. This method is really easy to use and can protect the company from being swallowed up by whales.

But it's not good news for people who want to acquire other people's companies.

Another example is when Tycoon Bao acquired shares of Standard Chartered Bank, Standard Chartered's management invited "white warriors", which was actually the introduction of new shareholders.

The two sets of combined punches directly led to the bankruptcy of Bao Tycoon's acquisition.

He continued: "These shares are a bit useless to us. It is better to sell Zhao Hong as a favor. His future future is great. He will control the two giants Meisheng and DreamWorks, and he will be the top one in Xiangjiang."

existence."

"Father-in-law, we are not bad either! I think they will never repay this favor." Wu Guangzheng said with a little heartache. You must know that his father-in-law would lose hundreds of millions of dollars with one knife.

"You, your eyelids are just a little shallow. It wouldn't be best if you don't use them. This is what I want to see most. But there is a saying that says, 'A person is not as good as a thousand days, and a flower is not as red as a hundred days.'

It’s a slang that has been passed down from generation to generation.”

"This person never knew that bad luck would come. One thing is to be prepared. This is the guarantee for the prosperity of a family."

Bao Daheng explained to his son-in-law attentively, and then said that the exchanges between their several major families were actually a kind of courtesy exchange between each other, and everyone helped each other when they were in trouble.

In the process of visiting her elders or relatives, Zhao Hong received many shares from Standard Chartered's small shareholders. In addition to Bao Daheng's share, Qiu Deba's share held a maximum of 10%.

Qiu Deba is an amazing person. It turns out that Zhao Hong thought he and Qiu Daheng were brothers!

But after careful study, I found out that there is no relationship between the two of them. One is from Ningbo and the other is from Xiamen.

Khoo Teck Puat was born in Malaysia and is currently the richest man in Singapore, with assets of almost tens of billions of dollars.

He is also the founder of Malaysia's largest bank, directly and indirectly holding more than 80% of the equity. It can be said that he is a well-known figure in the financial field.

His family's current main businesses are real estate, finance and hotels.

DreamWorks actually had dealings with his family, mainly because when DreamWorks was spreading channels around the world, the buildings in Malaysia and Singapore were built by his family's real estate company.

It can be said that the relationship between the two parties is not bad. Even now, the two families have relatively close ties. The main reason is that the Qiu family has also come to Hong Kong for development, mainly in the fields of gaming and real estate.

Let’s not talk about games. They develop real estate in Hong Kong mainly in Tin Shui Wai, so it is inevitable to deal with DreamWorks.

It is said that this time, in order to get Qiu Deba's shares in Standard Chartered, Zhao Hong and Li Meiren went to Singapore in person, and it took a lot of effort to get it done.

The main reason is that Mr. Qiu is also eyeing Standard Chartered. Under such circumstances, how could he be willing to give up the hard-earned shares?

For this reason, Zhao Hong gave up a lot of benefits and promised to hand over to them any new buildings built by DreamWorks in Singapore and Malaysia in the future. He also sold them a piece of land in Xiangjiang. The location of this land is in Tin Shui Wai, Liying.

The Red Stadium is very close.

This made Zhao Hong feel distressed. This piece of land was 500 acres!

Wouldn’t it be delicious if you developed it yourself?

After meeting these two conditions, Mr. Qiu sold Standard Chartered's shares to Zhao Hong. He finally completed his task.

It can be said that during the past few days of the Chinese New Year, under the auspices of Zhao Hong, more than 40% of Standard Chartered's shares quietly changed hands.

While Zhao Hong was negotiating with shareholders in private, Yuan Tianfan was also quietly acquiring shares of Standard Chartered Bank.

In a few days, Zhao Hong received the shares from some small shareholders. In addition, Tycoon Bao, Mr. Qiu and the original DreamWorks held 5% of the shares, which added up to a total of 45% of the shares.

.

As for the investment company that has acquired a few tenths of a percent of the shares in a few days, it will only be able to acquire 6% of the shares in ten days at most, and then it can be announced in a big way.

It is said that since President Xiao met with Father Zhao, he reported the matter to his superiors via phone.

The superiors quickly approved this and agreed to all the requirements of Meisheng Bank, promising in the form of documents that Meisheng Bank would be eligible to issue Hong Kong dollars after the return of Hong Kong.

As for Meisheng Bank's entry into the mainland, it can currently set up offices and then convert them into branches one by one in the next few years.

Father Zhao received this good news on the first day of the Lunar New Year, which made him extremely happy.

He plans to inspect the mainland after the bank opens in a few years and build a few buildings first.

In fact, it not only allowed Mei Sheng Bank to operate in the Mainland, but also agreed to DreamWorks to build a dozen theaters in the Cantonese-speaking area. However, the theaters were not decided by themselves, but based on the instructions of China Film.

Because of this incident, Zhao Hong worked particularly hard when acquiring Standard Chartered. Not to mention the shock in President Xiao's heart when he learned that 45% of the shares had been acquired in just one week.
Chapter completed!
