Chapter 1080 The Largest Bank in Africa!

Why is there a "standard" in front of the bank? It is because it is related to Standard Bank.

In 1862, Standard Bank of Southern Philippines was registered and established in Southern Philippines. At that time, it operated as a Southern Philippines branch of Standard Bank of Country Y.

In 1969, Standard Bank of Southern Philippines Group was established as the controlling shareholder of Standard Bank of Southern Philippines.

That year, Standard Bank and Standard Chartered Bank merged to form Standard Chartered Bank.

Due to the apartheid policy of Southern Philippines, which attracted international economic sanctions, Standard Chartered Bank withdrew from Southern Philippines in 1987 and sold its 39% stake, making Standard Bank of Southern Philippines a complete Southern Philippines bank.

However, after that, Standard Bank of Southern Philippines established a network in Southern Philippines through new construction and acquisitions. Since then, Standard Bank has become the largest bank in Africa through its own growth and acquisitions.

Through acquisitions in Argentina, Nigeria, Turkey and other countries, Standard Bank has business in 28 countries, 713 branches in South Africa, 240 branches in 18 other African countries, and hundreds of branches in financial centers in Europe, America and Asia.

It is not only the largest bank in South Africa, but also the largest bank in Africa.

This time, Yang Ming knew that if he swallowed up Standard Jardine Bank, it would mean not only swallowing up Jardine Bank, including Hong Kong Jardine Bank, but also becoming a major shareholder of Standard Bank of South Africa. Even if he got more shares of Standard Bank of South Africa, he might even control the largest bank in Africa.

In his previous life, Yang Ming had been in Africa for a long time. If he controlled Standard Bank, he knew very well what it meant.

This means.

Swallowing Standard Jardine Bank this time is the top priority.

"Boss, do you mean you want to acquire Jardine Bank?" Barlow was a little surprised.

But he thought it was normal.

After all, the Empire Group's business now spreads all over the world. If it controls more multinational banks, it will be safer for the capital inflow and outflow of the Empire Group.

Even though the Empire Group has controlled more than ten Chinese banks in Hong Kong and even the largest credit union in Taiwan.

In Barro's view, it is indeed not enough.

If Standard Chartered Bank can be swallowed up, it will be a good supplement.

"This year is the best opportunity to swallow Standard Chartered Bank."

When Yang Ming talked to Barro, Barro had already known it.

He was really surprised.

Although the boss was in Hong Kong, he was very clear about what was going on in London.

After talking to Barro about this matter.

Barro also went back to his home in Hong Kong, the mid-mountain villa given to him by Yang Ming.

Barro left.

Kayla is still here.

Looking at Kayla, Yang Ming found that after knowing Kayla for so many years, Kayla seemed to be the same, and there was no big change.

"Sir, why are you looking at me like that?" Kayla asked curiously.

"Kayla, I find that you have never changed."

"No, I feel much older."

Women are very sensitive to age, especially European and American women.

Even though Yang Ming said that, Kayla still noticed that after she was over 30, she began to decline in all aspects.

Yang Ming took her hand and said, "Stay with me tonight."

"Ah! Me."

Kayla seemed a little unresponsive for a while.

Although the two had already had that intention.

"Sarah and Diana will give birth soon, go see them."

Sarah and Diana both got pregnant in May. Now it is February, and it has been nearly nine months. Under normal circumstances, they will give birth either at the end of February or in early March.

Kayla had already known about Sarah and Diana's pregnancy.

"Sir, I will go see Miss Sarah and Miss Diana first."

After Kayla left.

Yang Ming stayed in the study.

...

When he was in the afternoon.

Kayla went to see Sarah and Diana. Seeing the two sisters pregnant with bulging bellies, she really envied them, especially since Diana had given birth to the first son for Sir Yang. In the future, whether it was a boy or a girl, in Kayla's opinion, Diana's position beside Yang Ming would definitely be stable.

Waiting for Kayla to come back for dinner.

Yang Ming, Kayla, Yang Jirong and his wife, Alina, Yingla and others had dinner there together.

Like Alina and Yingla, they were all new here, and Kayla met them for the first time. However, Kayla also got to know the two girls quickly.

After dinner.

Yang Ming returned to the study upstairs.

Kayla did not drive back to her villa in the hills of Hong Kong, but stayed here directly.

While watching Sir Yang reading a book, Kayla talked about the situation in London from time to time.

"You mean that Princess Leslie gave birth to another little princess as her second child?"

"Yes, it's still a little princess. I sent them gifts on your behalf."

Although the royal family still favors boys over girls, now that Princess Leslie has given birth to daughters, the Queen and Prince Charles can only accept it.

. . .

22:30 in the evening.

When Yang Ming went to take a shower, Keira had already returned to her room.

When Yang Ming returned to the master bedroom, he saw Keira, who was wearing a nightgown, waiting for him.

Rest for a night.

Early the next morning.

Yang Ming woke up, but Keira, who was beside him, had not woken up yet.

Yang Ming got up and washed up.

Going outside.

Today is the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month, and the weather in Hong Kong is still very good.

Clear skies.

It seems that this year’s New Year’s Eve and Spring Festival in Hong Kong will be another very lively holiday.

Wait until Kayla gets up.

After Yang Ming, Kayla and others finished breakfast.

Keira drove herself back to her mountainside villa.

Yang Ming returned upstairs.

11:45 am.

Yuan Tianfan, who is far away in Silicon Valley, has returned.

Yuan Tianfan sat for fourteen consecutive hours before flying back to Xiangjiang.

When he got off the plane, he immediately wanted to see his girlfriend Li Huimin.

However, he knew that he had to go to Repulse Bay Mid-Levels Villa to meet his boss first.

When Yuan Tianfan was taken to the mid-level villa in Repulse Bay by Yang Ming's bodyguard.

After getting off the car, Yang Ming first saw Yuan Tianfan, who was tall and steady. He felt that his temperament was really good in all aspects. No wonder he was able to be reused by Li Jiacheng and his son in history.

"Boss, I'm back."

Yuan Tianfan followed Yang Ming to the study. Yang Ming looked at him and asked, "Do you really want to see Li Huimin?"

"Boss, work comes first."

This is what Li Huimin told him, and Yuan Tianfan naturally wrote it down.

This time, the supercomputer software company established by Yang Ming in Silicon Valley was listed in Hong Kong and New York at the same time, with a market value exceeding HK$60 billion. In Silicon Valley, even M Country Capital has caused a lot of activity.

Next, Oracle, invested by Yang Ming, will be listed in Hong Kong and New York at the same time. Although its market value may not be as high as that of a supercomputer software company, it can still have a market value of 20 to 30 billion Hong Kong dollars.

Especially now that Oracle has begun to monopolize the global database market.
