Chapter 1098 Candidate for the New General Manager of Standard Chartered Bank!

Imperial Group swallowed up Standard Bank without any warning.

When Lloyds Bank just announced that it would acquire Standard Bank, the European headquarters of Empire Group immediately took action, leaving no time for the management of Lloyds Bank and even Standard Bank to react.

It's too fast.

Heung Kong Zata Bank Building.

General Manager's Office.

A white man in his fifties wearing a suit was looking out the window. Not far away was the Empire State Building.

This white man is none other than William Charles Langdon Brown, the current chief executive of Xiangjiang Zata Bank.

Before this, William and Sir Yang had met, but they were all in public places. He and Sir Yang had no friendship. If the Empire Group had not suddenly announced the acquisition of Standard Bank, William felt that he might retire and leave. Xiangjiang and Sir Yang do not have much exchange of interests.

It's different now.

Imperial Group has officially announced that it controls 59% of Standard Bank's shares and is the sole major shareholder. This is completely different at this time.

Xiangjiang Zata Bank is the largest subsidiary banking group of Standard Zata Bank in Asia.

William also has to think carefully about where he will go.

There was a sudden knock on the door from the office outside the door.

William opened the door and it was his female secretary Bonnie.

"General Manager, Empire Group announced the acquisition of Standard Bank. The London headquarters will let you fly back to London immediately."

Fly back to London immediately?

This is inevitable.

After all, Standard Bank is headquartered in London.

However, Zata Bank's subsidiaries are distributed around the world, including Xiangjiang Zata Bank, Shencheng Zata Bank, Singapore Zata Bank, Damama Zata Bank, Indu Zata Bank, Australia Zata Bank, etc.

There are also branches that Standard Bank holds or has acquired.

As an international bank with truly transnational influence.

This time, Standard Bank was suddenly acquired, which had a really big impact.

Obviously, it was the management, or perhaps the Imperial Group, who asked the general managers of the subsidiaries and branches of various countries to go back for a meeting.

"I see."

William said.

For some reason, William had an indescribable feeling.

He knows the Imperial Group and Sir Yang very well.

Starting from the late 1970s, the Empire Group made a series of acquisitions in Xiangjiang, and then to the series of acquisitions in Country Y. It was difficult for him to distinguish whether the Empire Group was Chinese-owned or British-owned.

However, except for the Chinese boss Sir Yang, Imperial Group is surrounded by all white executives.

Just like the current cabinet general manager established by the Imperial Group, including the current cabinet general manager of the Imperial Group who is Mr. Mai Lisi, these are clearly based on the European system to manage this huge business empire.

Bonnie knew that the general manager was in a bad mood and was about to go out.

Bonnie suddenly said: "General Manager, although Mr. Merlis, the cabinet general manager of the Empire Group, has gone to London in advance. However, Sir Yang, the boss of the Empire Group, is still in Xiangjiang. I suggest that you go and meet him first when you fly to London. Sir Young.”

Meet Sir Young?

William immediately sobered up after hearing the secretary's suggestion.

Now, if he resigns on his own initiative, then he is not an executive of Xiangjiang Zata Bank, let alone Standard Zata Bank, and naturally has nothing to do with Sir Yang.

However, if he was still in this position, he would definitely have to deal with Sir Yang.

"Bonnie, thank you for the reminder."

William thanked the female secretary for the reminder. Instead of rushing to fly to London immediately, he planned to visit Sir Yang first.

. . .

Today is Tuesday.

Yang Ming returned to work at the Empire Group headquarters building as normal.

Of course, Yang Ming already knew that the Imperial Group officially swallowed up Standard Bank under the auspices of Meilisi and Barlow.

This matter was reported on all major news in Hong Kong this morning, especially the Oriental Daily News acquired by Yang Ming, which reported on the front page the news about Imperial Group swallowing up Standard Bank.

Yang Ming, Alina, and Yingla took a car to the chairman's office in the Empire Group headquarters building.

He Chaoluo and Lin Xiuzhi have already arrived at the company.

"Boss." Lin Xiuzhi greeted happily.

When Yang Ming sat down, he said, "I asked Mr. Ma Shimin to come see me."

Lin Xiuzhi hurriedly called Ma Shimin.

At this time, Ma Shimin, as the interim cabinet general manager of the Empire Group, did not work at the Xiangjiang Overseas Trust Bank Building, but at the headquarters of the Empire Group Building.

Ma Shimin received a call from Lin Xiuzhi.

Soon, take the elevator up from upstairs.

"Shimin, Imperial Group has officially swallowed up Standard Bank."

Ma Shimin already knew this news in advance.

Even then, Ma Shimin was very happy.

"Originally when we acquired Standard Bank, we didn't want to touch the management of Standard Bank. However, after Merith personally contacted the senior executives of Standard Bank, they were very disgusted with the Imperial Group's takeover. This kind of Under such circumstances, some of the senior executives of Standard Bank had no choice but to leave the company and be replaced by our people.”

Under normal circumstances, when Yang Ming acquires a large company, whether he can do it or not, he should do so first, mainly to avoid confusion in the internal management.

Over the years, Yang Ming and the Imperial Group have been acquiring and devouring other companies, and are very familiar with these.

"Common Citizen, I am going to let you take over Standard Bank."

Let Ma Shimin take over Standard Bank?

This was determined by Yang Ming before he acquired Standard Chartered Bank.

It can be said that Ma Shimin is a very capable person.

From Kayla's recommendation to join the Empire Group, he worked in Wharf, Jardine Matheson, and now the Hong Kong Overseas Trust Bank. Even the Tenth Credit Union of Taiwan Taibei, Ma Shimin was in charge for a period of time.

However, the scale of Standard Chartered Bank is obviously larger than that of Hong Kong Overseas Trust Bank, so it is best to let Ma Shimin take over.

"Boss, if I go to Standard Chartered Bank, who will take over Overseas Trust Bank?"

At this time, Hong Kong Overseas Trust Bank is still expanding, from the original third largest local bank in Hong Kong to the second largest local bank. It has not only expanded to Taiwan, Goryeo, Siam in Southeast Asia, but also branches of Overseas Trust Bank have begun to appear in major cities in China, including Shencheng, Yanjing, Yangcheng, Pengcheng, Huicheng, etc.

These are all manifestations of Ma Shimin's ability.

After all, after so many holes were created by Zhang Mingtian's family, after being acquired by Empire Group, under Ma Shimin's management, Overseas Trust Bank went from negative assets to a large bank with profits exceeding 10 billion.

In other words, Hong Kong Overseas Trust Bank is also very important.

Especially the position of General Manager of Overseas Trust Bank.
