Chapter 732 In Mr. Li’s opinion, Sir Yang is a dangerous person
Acquiring Hang Lung Bank based on the market value of HK$1 million is actually not a loss for the Zhuang Rongkun brothers, but it is equivalent to giving Hang Lung Bank to the Imperial Group after six years of hard work in vain.
Melis looked at the two of them.
He believed that smart people would make such a choice.
If the Government House directly announces the takeover of Hang Lung Bank after passing the Legislative Council meeting, then the Zhuang Rongkun brothers will not get a penny at all.
Now at least based on their 80% stake, they can still get 8000 million Hong Kong dollars.
"Mr. Zhuang, I'll give you five minutes to think about it. If you don't want to, I'll go see the Governor again."
Melis went outside.
Look at Meilisi's appearance.
Zhuang Rongkun sat on the chair in the study room a little decadently.
He is reluctant to give up Hang Lung Bank, but with the current situation, Hang Lung Bank will definitely be taken over by the Governor's Office and then acquired by the Empire Group. By then, they will really not get a penny.
"Brother, with the relationship between Sir Yang of the Imperial Group and the Governor, I am afraid that Hang Lung Bank will still be acquired by the Imperial Group. Rather than that, it is better to be acquired directly by the Imperial Group now."
"Qingquan, do you think there is any other way I can do it?"
Zhuang Rongkun didn’t.
All his trump cards were seen clearly by the Imperial Group.
What else can he do?
The banker brothers are now unable to fill the huge hole owed by Hang Lung Bank. There are also outside depositors who basically have no confidence or trust in Hang Lung Bank.
They worked hard for six years, but in the end, Hang Lung Bank still fell into the hands of the Imperial Group.
Melis was waiting in the living room outside the study.
After a while.
Merith looked at the watch he was wearing for exactly five minutes.
Brother Zhuang Rongkun has come out.
"Mr. Merrith, we agree to sell the shares of Hang Lung Bank to you."
Is there any other way he can do it?
of course not.
"Mr. Zhuang, at 00:00 in the evening, Imperial Group and Hang Lung Bank will hold a press conference at the headquarters of Imperial Group. I hope you can attend on time."
Zhuang Rongkun could only nod and agree.
After Merith left.
Zhuang Rongkun didn't hate the Imperial Group, but he knew that in this situation, he knew that he had no better way.
. . .
Study room in Repulse Bay mid-level villa.
"Boss, I have reached an agreement with the Zhuang Rongkun brothers. They are willing to sell Hang Lung Bank to us." Meris said still a little excited.
"Mailisi, this is the first bank acquired by our Imperial Group, and there will be more to come."
What’s next?
Meris was naturally even more excited.
Hang Lung Bank is no longer small.
Yang Ming is eyeing larger Chinese banks, but the time has not yet come.
That night.
Empire Group Headquarters.
Bright lights.
The conference room of the Imperial Group headquarters has been holding press conferences for a long time, especially press conferences like this one held in the middle of the night.
Those reporters received a call from the Imperial Group and immediately went to the Imperial Group in advance.
This press conference was held by Imperial Group and Hang Lung Bank.
Hosted by Meilisi.
Yang Ming did not come forward.
As for Hang Lung Bank, the major shareholder Zhuang Rongkun brothers attended, as well as some other Hang Lung Bank management personnel.
Melis and others have not yet appeared in the Imperial Group meeting room.
The reporters were whispering in the conference room, speculating on what big news the Imperial Group was going to announce or what company it was going to acquire.
"What important news do you think the Imperial Group is going to announce?"
At that time, the Empire Group announced the cancellation of the shared area, which shocked all walks of life in Xiangjiang and also accelerated the development of Xiangjiang real estate.
In addition, the Imperial Group likes to announce the acquisition of other companies late at night, so that the news about the Imperial Group can appear in the morning paper the next morning.
"I haven't heard anything yet."
These reporters usually have very good ears and can know some news in advance, but now they have not heard about the Imperial Group.
Many reporters were waiting for Imperial's late-night press conference.
. . .
Deep Water Bay.
Bao family.
Bao Yugang and his family had just finished dinner.
In the past two days, news of the collapse of Xie Liyuan Gold Shop broke out in Xiangjiang, and then news of a run on Hang Lung Bank broke out. Bao Yugang knew about it.
He felt that this had nothing to do with the Bao family.
"Father, I just received news from a journalist friend that the Imperial Group suddenly announced a press conference at 0: in the morning." Wu Guangzhen came over and said.
Imperial Group suddenly held a press conference?
What does Imperial Group want to do?
Bao Yugang was a little curious.
Since last year, Imperial Group has basically kept a low profile and has been developing its own business and has not involved acquiring other companies.
Now they actually hold a press conference again in the middle of the night.
"Let's take a look first."
Bao Yugang heard that the Imperial Group held a press conference in the middle of the night, and something big might happen to the Imperial Group.
He wasn't too interested in this.
In April, Dong Haoyun of OOCL suddenly passed away. Bao Yugang did not expect that Mr. Dong would leave the Dong family and OOCL to Sir Yang before leaving.
Orient Overseas, under the management of the Dong family's eldest brother, has been dealing with debt problems, starting from more than 85% to 65%.
The eldest son of the Dong family sold some of Orient Overseas's ships to the First Shipping Group, a subsidiary of the Imperial Group, and returned the funds to the bank to avoid debt problems caused by excessive debts at Orient Overseas.
It is precisely because of that that the load capacity of OOCL was once again reduced to less than 1500 million tons, while the First Shipping Group under the Imperial Group increased its load to more than million tons. This made Bao Yugang, Wu Guangzhen, Su Yiwen and others feel pressured Very big.
The main reason is that the First Shipping Group under the Imperial Group has developed too fast.
The load capacity is not far from that of Bao's Global Shipping Group and Asia Shipping Group.
Bao Yugang was wondering what was going on this time when the Imperial Group held a press conference in the middle of the night.
Next door to Bao Yugang.
The Li family in the Mid-Levels Villa in Deep Water Bay.
Li Jiacheng and his wife had just finished dinner when they suddenly heard that the Imperial Group was going to hold a press conference in the middle of the night.
Some time ago.
Li Jiacheng and his wife have learned that their fellow villager Yang Shuocheng owes Huifeng Bank a debt of more than 300 million due to real estate speculation. Li Jiacheng cannot protect himself and has no money to lend to his fellow villagers.
They have learned that the Imperial Group has swallowed up the Yinghuang Group, and Yang Shuocheng still has 5% of the shares of the Yinghuang Group, and the debts are gone. As the chairman of the Yinghuang Group, he even manages the company for Sir Yang.
From this point, Li Jiacheng couldn't understand what Sir Yang was doing.
If you want to say that Sir Yang took advantage of the situation, this is normal business behavior.
If you want to say that Sir Yang helped Yang Shuicheng, in fact, the Imperial Group had swallowed up the Yinghuang Group.
In Li Jiacheng's view, Sir Yang was a very dangerous person at this time.
"Sir, the Imperial Group held a press conference in the middle of the night. What important event do you think it is?" asked his wife Zhuang Yueming.
"I do not know either."
This is destined to be another sleepless night.
