Chapter 1079 The target swallows the standard and hits the bank!

Yang Ming remembered that a very important incident happened in Su Lian this year. The harm to Su Lian was not falling into Afhan's quagmire.

What specific day is it?

Yang Ming is not sure.

Yang Ming did not discuss this matter with Huo Jianning.

After talking to Huo Jianning about the situation in Su Lian, and about the situation in Eastern Europe, and even Southern Europe, in fact, the Imperial Group has entered.

Including the entry of a large number of game consoles into these markets, it has also brought a lot of benefits to the Imperial Group.

However, like in Southern Europe, Yang Ming knew that there was also internal chaos.

When the iron extension ceases, Southern Europe will no longer be the same Southern Europe.

However, Yang Ming is still more interested in East D. He plans to go to East D to have a look next time he goes to Sulian.

"Jian Ning, go back and spend time with your family first."

"Yes, boss."

Huo Jianning left here.

. . .

In the afternoon.

Barlow and Keira flew back to Hong Kong from London.

The two of them had just gotten off the plane.

Lin Dezhong and two bodyguards also drove to greet them.

For Yang Ming, both Barlow and Keira are very important.

"Mr. Barlow, Miss Kayla, Mr. Yang asked me to pick you up."

"Steward Lin, thank you for your hard work."

When the two of them got into the car to pick them up, both Barlow and Kayla were sitting in the car. They looked outside and found that a lot of changes had taken place in Xiangjiang in just one year.

For Barlow and Keira, they actually prefer to stay in Xiangjiang.

Especially Barlow, he already knows that the Imperial Group has formally established a cabinet, which includes fifteen other cabinet members in addition to Meris as the first cabinet general manager.

Barlow also hopes to become a member of the cabinet by then.

. . .

The luxury cars of Lin Dezhong and the two bodyguards stopped at the Repulse Bay Mid-Levels Villa.

Barlow and Kayla got out of the car.

"boss."

"Sir Young."

Barlow and Kayla greeted Yang Ming respectively.

Yang Ming knew that the two of them got off the plane and immediately took the car back. Although they had eaten on the plane, Yang Ming still asked the two of them to eat first.

Barlow and Kayla went to eat separately and went upstairs to the study.

Barlow officially reported to Yang Ming about the European headquarters of Imperial Group.

The European headquarters of Imperial Group is responsible for the market in not only country Y, but also Western Europe and Northern Europe. Especially after Yang Ming swallowed up the Bossac Group and the Dior Group, the Imperial Group has been acquiring luxury goods from Country F, Italy, and Swiss.

In addition to red wine, fashion, perfume, and luxury watches, the Imperial Group has also been making acquisitions.

As for the mainland of country Y.

At this time, with the support of Mrs. Satchell, Country Y continued to privatize.

The Imperial Group is also the company that has swallowed up the most industries.

"Boss, this time the supercomputer software company was listed in New York and Hong Kong at the same time, which earned the respect of the London financial community and even the cabinet of Country Y. Mrs. Satchell came to me and hoped that Empire Group's companies could be listed in London."

As the second largest financial city in the world, London is actually on par with New York.

However, London prefers futures, especially gold futures and silver futures.

However, when country M’s crude oil futures appeared, London began to be surpassed by country M’s futures in terms of futures.

Even then, New York and London, including Hong Kong, have always been known as New York.

Today, Yang Ming’s supercomputer software company.

Listed in Hong Kong, its market value exceeded HK$600 billion, which is four times the market value of Hong Kong Huifeng Bank.

Listed in New York, with a market value exceeding US$75 billion, it is also an innovative technology company with great potential for listing in New York.

Now there are such thoughts in London and the cabinet of country Y, and Yang Ming thinks it is normal.

Of course, it is normal for a company to be listed in multiple countries at the same time.

Especially those companies with high quality and potential have always been competed by stock exchanges around the world.

"Barlow, it's normal for London to have such an idea. At that time, we can select some suitable companies to be listed in London and Hong Kong."

Hearing what Yang Ming said, Barlow breathed a sigh of relief.

Finish talking to Barlow.

Yang Ming remembered that there was one very important thing this year.

It has something to do with the bank.

Historically, Bao Yugang's investment in the banking industry, in addition to Huifeng Bank, was in July 1986. The investment object was Standard Bank, a note-issuing bank with a long history in Hong Kong.

In April 1986, Royal Bank of England proposed a comprehensive acquisition proposal to Standard Bank at a price of 4 pence per share, which was immediately strongly opposed by the management of Standard Bank.

At that time, 88% of Standard Bank's shares were held by institutional investors, whose orientation had a decisive impact on the acquisition.

Since the objection document issued by Standard Chartered management to the Lloyds Bank acquisition proposal did not provide its latest profit forecast, nor did it explain in detail the reasons for its opposition to the acquisition, institutional investors tended to support Rice. The situation Quite critical.

However, on July 1986, 7, the situation began to reverse. During this period, several Asian investors, including Qiu Debo and Bao Yugang, played the role of "white warriors" and purchased large quantities of Standard Zada ​​shares.

Among them, Bao Yugang spent a total of HK$22 billion twice to purchase 14.95% of the shares of Standard Bank, becoming the largest single shareholder of the bank. As a result, he successfully blocked the acquisition of Lloyds Bank.

Bao Yugang had great expectations for the investment in Standard Zhada, hoping to relive his dream of becoming a banker in his early years. To this end, he resigned as a director of HSBC Bank and became the vice chairman of Zhada Bank.

Unfortunately, the subsequent development was not satisfactory. Mr. Bao could neither purchase additional shares nor influence the decision-making of Zada ​​management. Disappointed, he sold all his shares at a loss in June 1989.

Despite this, Bao Yugang still had a profound impact on Zhada Bank during the years when he participated in the investment of Zhada Bank. Most importantly, as a senior Zhada employee said: "Mr. Bao's intervention cost a lot of money." About £200m of shares were bought to save Zada.”

Some core figures in Zada ​​also said that Sir Bao brought to Zada ​​"extensive experience and long-term excellent advice that helped us proceed prudently" and "played an important role in the difficult period after taking over (Zada) and reorganization." effect."

It can be said.

Historically, Bao Yugang's business investments have been very successful.

In addition to Universal Group and Asia Shipping, he became the world's largest shipping king. Later, he abandoned his ship and landed, successfully swallowing up Wharf and Wheelock, making him the richest family in Hong Kong.

However, there were also two investment failures.

One time, he invested in an airline company with Cao Guangbiao, Li Jiacheng, Huo Yingdong and others. In the end, he sold his shares at a loss.

One time was the acquisition of Zada ​​Bank, which was eventually sold at a loss.

In fact, at that time, Bao Yugang had already learned that he was ill, and the Bao family was divided into four. Even though he still presided over the investment in Hong Kong's second airline, he also invested in the bank.

However, these two investments failed. Is it related to his condition after illness?

Most likely there are.

However, for Yang Ming, it doesn't matter.

Most importantly, his goal has been to hit the bank.

A Chinese-owned bank crisis broke out in Hong Kong. Most of the Chinese-owned banks in Hong Kong were basically swallowed up by the Imperial Group.

This also includes Heungkong Overseas Trust Bank.

However, it was not enough for Yang Ming.

He has already set his sights on Zada ​​Bank, the second largest foreign bank in Hong Kong.

This bank is not only the second largest foreign bank in Hong Kong, but also has the right to issue banknotes in Hong Kong.

In addition, Yang Ming knew that this year was the most suitable opportunity to swallow up this bank.
