Chapter 1146 Huifeng Bank's Board of Directors Agrees to Sell Huifeng Bank
Chapter 1146 The board of directors of Huifeng Bank agreed to sell Huifeng Bank to Empire Group!
Bao Yugang was shocked.
Even more shocked than Bao Yugang was Shi Yuedi, the current chairman of Swire.
After Shi Yuedi succeeded his elder brother John Shi as the chairman of Swire and the head of the Shi Huaiya family, he had sent people to talk to Zhongxin Group for a long time.
Now, the Empire Group is going to swallow up HSBC, and he is simply not going to agree.
Of course, he is only a shareholder and director of Huifeng Bank, and the decision-making power is not in his hands.
The most critical decision-making power lies with the cabinet, the royal family, Shen Yi, and the European shareholders of Huifeng Bank in Y country.
Shareholders like them, although they are directors, do not have any decision-making power, just like when Shen Yi asked to sell Hutchison Whampoa to Empire Group.
Shen Yi just informed them of such a result.
Shen Yi looked at the faces of the directors present and had already guessed it in his heart.
However, when he decided to sell Huifeng Bank to Empire Group, it was impossible to regret it.
Whether these directors agreed or not, Shen Yi would determine to sell Huifeng Bank to Empire Group in the name of the board of directors.
"Everyone, Huifeng Bank has developed to this day. For the future of Huifeng Bank, I also agree to sell Huifeng Bank to Empire Group." Shen Yi said directly.
When Shen Yi said it, the other directors present were already used to it.
After all, who doesn't know the relationship between Yang Ming and Shen Yi.
What's more, now Empire Group is doing that, it is obvious that it is to acquire Huifeng Bank.
However, due to the special nature of Huifeng Bank, it is not easy for Empire Group to swallow Huifeng Bank.
"Everyone, do you have any suggestions?"
Now Shen Yi has said that.
As for Xu Shixun, who is both a director and a major shareholder of Huifeng Bank, the Xu family still has 5% of the shares in Huifeng Bank. If Huifeng Bank is to be sold to Empire Group, he will definitely not object.
In addition to the relationship between Sir Yang and Empire Group, he thinks that under the current situation of Huifeng Bank, selling it to Empire Group is also a good decision.
On the contrary, Shi Youdi is determined not to sell Huifeng Bank to Empire Group.
Huifeng Bank is British-owned. If even Huifeng Bank is sold to Empire Group.
Then what does Country Y have left in Hong Kong?
Really not much?
That is, his Taikoo and some other small British companies.
This really makes Shi Youdi unimaginable.
"Now give you half an hour to consider, and half an hour later vote to decide whether to sell Huifeng Bank to Empire Group?" Shen Yi said directly.
The other directors looked at each other.
Shi Youdi took out his mobile phone, and hurriedly called his eldest brother Shi John on the pretext of going to the corridor outside.
In addition, other shareholders also made phone calls.
Half an hour had not yet ended.
At this time, people from all walks of life in Hong Kong, London, and even Europe and the United States had learned that the Empire Group had proposed to acquire Huifeng Bank.
Before this, the Empire Group had sent people to London to lobby the cabinet, the royal family, and even the European shareholders of Huifeng Bank. In fact, they had already known about it.
It was just that the Empire Group was officially announced now.
Even now, the board of directors of Huifeng Bank has decided to vote.
"Brother, Sir Yang wants to acquire Huifeng Bank, and I absolutely disagree." Shi Youdi said on the Motorola mobile phone.
At this time, John Shi, who had returned to a mansion in London, received a call from his brother. John Shi was shocked.
He had never thought that he had just given up the position of chairman of Swire to his brother, and now the Empire Group was going to swallow up Huifeng Bank.
However, he knew that his brother's statement was useless.
The Empire Group must have been planning for a long time to acquire Huifeng Bank.
"When the vote comes, just say you're abstaining." John Shi said.
Although John Shi knew that the Empire Group wanted to swallow up the Swire Group, the two sides had not yet completely torn their skins apart, but in recent years, the Empire Group has established Hong Kong's first airline, Coca-Cola, and the sugar industry's offensive against the Swire market. John Shi knew that the Empire Group and Swire have long been irreconcilable.
However, the reason why he abstained now is to show that he doesn't want to pay attention to this matter.
"Brother, I understand."
... . .
Bao Yugang and Zheng Weijian also went out to discuss.
Now Bao Yugang and his son-in-law are very shocked. Sir Yang and the Empire Group actually want to acquire Huifeng Bank.
What does this mean?
If the Empire Group successfully acquires Huifeng Bank, it means that Hong Kong's finances are completely in the hands of the Empire Group.
It can be said that the most powerful financial bank in Hong Kong is the Empire Group.
It already includes Hong Kong Overseas Trust Bank, Tsat Bank, and other Chinese banks.
In addition, there are American banks, Japanese banks, and Z-funded banks, but none of these combined can match the power of the Empire Group Financial Bank.
If the current Huifeng Bank is added, the Empire Group will be even more terrifying.
However, Bao Yugang knew that he would not oppose the Empire Group's acquisition of Huifeng Bank now.
Now he even asks the Empire Group for help.
"Sir Yang is really the pride of us Chinese. Others can't do it, but Sir Yang did it." Bao Yugang sighed again.
"Father, it seems that Sir Yang is very confident that he can swallow up Huifeng Bank."
"Of course, it is absolutely imperative for Sir Yang to swallow up Huifeng Bank. Now even Mr. Shen Bi has agreed, which shows that the Imperial Group is at the end of its acquisition of Huifeng Bank. If London does not have any The problem is, no one can stop the Imperial Group from swallowing up Huifeng Bank.”
Think about it, the cooperative fund between Imperial Group and Huifeng Bank brings a stable return rate of 10 points every year, which is very scary.
Under this circumstance, the cancellation of the cooperation between Imperial Group and Huifeng Bank means that HSBC's net profit suddenly returns to five years ago. If the shareholders of Huifeng Bank still want to get a large share of the shares as before, then there is no way. possible.
. . .
Half an hour later.
Shen Yi and others returned to the conference room again.
This confidential meeting was held again.
Although Shen Yi, Mai Lisi and others already knew that those people just now must have contacted the outside world through mobile phones, and the outside world already knew that Imperial Group was going to acquire Huifeng Bank.
However, Shen Bi, Mai Lisi and others will not stop it, nor can they stop it.
"Now everyone can vote to decide whether to agree to the acquisition of Huifeng Bank by Imperial Group? If you agree, we will take over."
There are more than ten directors of Huifeng Bank sitting here.
Among those who agreed to take over, including Chairman Shen Bi, and others such as Mai Lisi, Bao Yugang, Tang Maosheng, Xu Shixun and others raised their hands in agreement.
Of these more than ten directors, except for Swire's Shi Yuadi and Deng Lianru, all the others agreed.
"Mr. Shen, everyone, I am abstaining from voting on behalf of the Swire Group." Shi Yuadi said.
He didn't say he objected, he just said he abstained.
However, abstention also means opposition.
As for Deng Lianru, this person was actually trained by London and later became a director of Huifeng Bank.
Historically, Deng Lianru worked at Swire for many years.
Regarding Ms. Deng Lianru’s evaluation, it is difficult to say what she thinks.
"Mr. Shen, everyone, I am also abstaining. As for the reason for abstaining, I think it is too hasty to decide whether to agree to Imperial Group's acquisition of Huifeng Bank."
