Chapter 814 Use Standard Chartered Bank

However, before starting to engage the Kadoorie family, Xia Yu had to understand the thoughts of the Taikoo Consortium.

"Wang Qi, what is the attitude of the Taikoo Consortium towards our acquisition of the Hong Kong Telephone Company?"

Wang Qi immediately replied: "Chairman, I also sent someone to the door today, and the situation is worse than yesterday. Although we didn't talk about it yesterday, at least I saw Norman Kadoorie, but today our people are even Norman Kadoorie. Kadoorie can't even see his face, and he said that he went to Omen, and the meaning of refusal is very obvious."

Xia Yu nodded slightly, and chuckled lightly: "Since neither of the two parties is willing to sell, then the other minority shareholders are probably acting on the face of the Swire consortium, even if we get the equity of the minority shareholders, it is useless."

Speaking of this, Xia Yu turned his head and said: "However, these small shareholders, as well as the tradable shares in the market, still have to continue to follow up, and buy as many as they can. No matter how small a mosquito is, it is meat."

To fight with the Taikoo Consortium, the conditions are not sufficient for the time being. Killing the chicken of Kadoorie is just right.

Cut off its powerful wings first, and see who else dares to get so close to the Taikoo Group!

"The Taikoo Consortium only needs to take precautions, and it will take action against the Kadoorie family. There are a lot of voices in the Kowloon area!"

Hearing the chairman's order, Wang Qi took out the prepared plan and handed it to Xia Yu.

"Chairman, this is a hands-on plan I made. It combines our advantages and can give the Kadoorie family the greatest damage with the least force."

Xia Yu took it over, and after looking at it carefully for ten minutes, he showed a satisfied smile and commented: "The plan is well done, just follow this plan, let other companies help buy stocks, and wait until the right time to do it again. Announce it, don't scare them now."

"Understood!" Wang Qi said with a smile, guessing in his heart how Lawrence Kadoorie would look if he knew the truth.

"The smart one was confused for a while, Lawrence Kadoorie didn't know what a formidable opponent he was rejecting..."

With a sigh in his heart, Wang Qi quickly left the office with the plan.

After Wang Qi left, Xia Yu brought his assistant and went to Standard Chartered Bank in a low-key manner.

After coming back for so long, he did not take over Standard Chartered Bank. In London, although Xia Yu had previously acquired 84.6% of Standard Chartered Bank's equity, the equity was dealt with again.

Cross-shareholding by several shell companies, although the largest shareholder of Standard Chartered Bank is still Bright Fund, but the shareholding ratio is only 21%.

Xia Yu did not publicize the acquisition of Standard Chartered Bank. In the UK, he kept a low profile, let alone Xiangjiang, where public opinion was controlled by him. His media did not report any relevant news.

As for "Ming Pao", "Sing Pao", "Hong Kong Economic Journal" and the like, they are still worried about the markets of Hong Kong and Austria, and they have no intention to care about a trivial incident in the UK.

Because of this, Lawrence Kadoorie did not know that Standard Chartered Bank had been controlled by Xia Yu, so he dared to refuse Xia Yu.

...

"Tuk Tuk Tuk!"

Gals Liddell is the chief executive of Standard Chartered Bank in Hong Kong. Although he is only a professional manager and does not hold any equity in the bank, he knows Standard Chartered Bank well because he has been in office for a long time. .

At this time, he was signing the document when he heard a hurried knock on the door.

He frowned, looked at the sound, and said in a deep voice, "Come in."

After the subordinate came in quickly, he quickly said: "President, Mr. Xia Yuxia, the chairman of Jiuding Financial Group, is here and is being received by other colleagues. He wants to see you, what do you think?"

ho!

Gars Liddell stood up abruptly, startling the subordinate who came to report.

Without explaining, Gals Liddell immediately came out of his desk and said to his subordinate, "Where are you, take me there!"

The subordinate looked confused, nodded ignorantly and led the way.

Soon, Gars Liddell saw Xia Yu who was being accompanied by other subordinates in the reception room on the fifth floor. He walked over quickly and was about to say "Hello, Chairman" when he saw Xia Yu shaking his head slightly. , Gars Liddell was startled, hurriedly swallowed the words, changed his mouth and said respectfully: "Hello, Mr. Xia!"

Gars Liddell's performance really made all the subordinates bewildered and looked at each other in dismay.

"Hello!"

Xia Yu said with a smile, and then said, "Can I go to your office and talk?"

"sure!"

After finishing speaking, Gals Liddell took Xia Yu and others to his office, and he noticed that Xia Yu seemed to want to keep it secret, so he sent all his subordinates away.

After closing the door, Gars Liddell finally breathed a sigh of relief, and said hello again with a slight respect: "Chairman, I'm really sorry for making you wait for a long time."

"It's okay, you did a good job, you didn't let others know what they shouldn't know." Xia Yu said with a smile.

Garth Liddle suddenly smiled.

After the Standard Chartered Bank Group was acquired before, Gars Liddell, as Standard Chartered Bank's Hong Kong branch and the president of the Asia branch, naturally went to London to meet Xia Yu, and knew that Standard Chartered Bank had changed before he knew it.

When he was in London, Xia Yu had told him that his position would remain unchanged, he would continue to manage Standard Chartered Bank, and he would also try his best to ensure that the news would not be leaked, and he would be instructed when something happened.

Gars Liddell has also been following the news of Xia Yu, of course he knew when Xia Yu came back.

It's just because he remembered the previous instructions, so although he was itching in his heart, he couldn't take the initiative to visit Xia Yu. He could only wait for Xia Yu to come to him like a harem concubine waiting for the emperor's favor.

After waiting for so many days, Xia Yu finally came, but Gals Liddell breathed a sigh of relief.

"Chairman, what are your orders for this time?"

Sitting opposite Xia Yu, Gars Liddell asked with concern.

"Well, there are a few things for you to do." Xia Yu nodded slightly.

Looking at Gars Liddell, who was leaning forward slightly as if to listen, Xia Yu continued: "According to the information found, Standard Chartered Bank holds 35% of the equity of Baoyuan Investment Heung Kong Co., Ltd. 5.1% of Heungkong Telephone Company, 5.7% of Heungkong Shanghu Hotel Group and 23.4% of Chunghwa Electric Power Co., Ltd. Do not sell these shares It's gone, let me arrange it later."

"Baoyuan Investment Hong Kong Co., Ltd. will be ignored for the time being. For the other three companies, you should use the resources of the contacts of Standard Chartered Bank to acquire the equity of minority shareholders as much as possible. If it involves the equity of the Kadoorie family, the Taikoo consortium and the Liang family, you should not go. Move, understand?"

Gars Liddell froze in his heart, and immediately replied: "I understand, I will arrange it later."

After speaking, Gals Liddell hesitated for a moment and asked, "Chairman, are you going to attack the Kadoorie family?"

Xia Yu didn't hide it from his own people, nodded and said, "That's right."

But the exact reason was not explained.

Seeing this, Gals Liddell decisively crushed the curiosity in his heart.

"By the way, how is the business relationship between Standard Chartered Bank and the Taikoo Consortium?" Xia Yu suddenly asked after thinking about it.

Gars Liddell immediately replied: "It was fine before, but since last year, the business volume of the Swire Consortium has decreased. I have investigated specifically, and it was not assigned to HSBC, but to other foreign banks, which made the Swire Consortium. more concealment.”

"However, Standard Chartered Bank also holds shares of many listed companies under the Swire Consortium. Although there are many or few, there are still many types. I can't remember the specific situation. It will take a few days to sort out."

Just when Gars Liddell thought that Xia Yu wanted to take action against the Taikoo Consortium, he heard Xia Yu say: "Well, you don't want to sell the stocks of the companies under the Taikoo Group, and you still have to pay for it later. You have to keep inhaling it, and if it increases operating costs and operating difficulties, you can tell me directly and I will deal with it.”

"Understood!" The pressure in Gars Liddell's heart dropped sharply, and the chairman of the secret channel was reasonable.

"Go ahead, speed up the efficiency, the time is tight, but you have to be careful not to leak the wind."

"I know!"
