Chapter 465 This Is an Open Conspiracy, They Can’t Break It!
Standard Chartered Group headquarters, conference room.
"Have you finished speaking?"
Lin Yao raised the Tsinghua porcelain teacup in his hand and scanned the circle.
Those people did not speak, in fact, they tacitly expressed their opinions.
Lin Yao took a puff of his cigar and said lightly:
"You are too conservative and short-sighted!"
"Your investment philosophy is like Great Britain, where the sun never sets, but what has it become now?"
"Being conservative will lead to failure!"
"Do you know? The world's financial center will still be in the United States in the next 20 years."
In Lin Yao's memory, Standard Chartered Bank was already in trouble at the beginning of the 21st century.
After Lin Yao finished speaking, the scene was still indifferent. It was obvious that they all opposed Lin Yao's capital increase in the United States.
Lin Yao did not waste time with them and said directly:
"In this case, let's vote to decide."
Hearing Lin Yao's words. Cohen was a little defensive.
You, Lin Yao, already have more than twice the shares of everyone else, so why vote? "
Lin Yao found it funny to see Cohen's angry expression, but he didn't dare to stand up and resist.
He flicked the ash and said to him: "Mr. Cohen, what do you want to say? Just say it."
Hearing what Lin Yao said, Cohen said:
"Mr. Lin, why are you still voting?"
"Our voting rights combined are not as many as yours. Tell me, what should we do?"
"First of all, we don't have that much money to invest."
After taking a sip of Keemun black tea, Lin Yao said:
"Since there is not that much money to invest, I actually have another way."
As he said that, Lin Yao stood up with a cigar in his hand.
Zhang Linwei immediately picked up the ashtray on the table (sense of a North Korean lady)
Lin Yao looked at several small shareholders and said:
"If you don't have money to invest, then I can buy your stocks at the market price plus 10%, how about it?"
"Acquisition? Impossible!"
"Standard Chartered Group was established by us with great effort. I will never sell my shares, never! "
Cohen was the first to refuse.
"Okay, this is your freedom, but I want to warn you that Standard Chartered's stock price is high now. "
"You should also know that it will fall after a while."
"As for why it is high now, you also know the reason. "
"I don't need to say more about the rest. Everyone here has a brain, think about it carefully!"
After Lin Yao finished speaking, he smiled and took Zhang Linwei and Zheng Jimin to leave the scene directly.
For Lin Yao, today he has these small shareholders in his hands.
The reality is just as Lin Yao said.
In order to control Standard Chartered, Lin Yao raised the stock price by almost 2/3.
This is well known.
This is an open conspiracy, they know it, but they can't break it!
Those shareholders also know that after the equity distribution of Standard Chartered Bank stabilizes, the stock price will inevitably fall, and it may fall sharply.
If Lin Yao wants to make the stock price fall quickly, there are ways.
The Standard Chartered shares they have on hand will be worthless by then.
Since Lin Yao has already stated that he wants to buy their shares , will definitely use all means to bring Standard Chartered Group's stock price to the lowest.
Lin Yao is the richest man in Asia and has plenty of money.
His financial think tank is also the world's top, there is no doubt about that.
Otherwise, it would be impossible to take control of Standard Chartered Group so easily.
What they found a bit unbelievable was when did Lin Yao get in touch with the British top brass?
Otherwise, according to such a large-scale acquisition, both the House of Lords and the House of Commons would have to intervene.
But these people were not seen throughout the whole process.
There is only one explanation, that is, Lin Yao had already dealt with the relevant members of the House of Commons and the House of Lords.
After Lin Yao walked out of the meeting room with Zhang Linwei, Zheng Jimin and the bodyguards Afterwards, the shareholders headed by Cohen and the former senior executives of Standard Chartered Group were like defeated roosters.
You looked at me, I looked at you, and found that each other was very disappointed, frustrated, and helpless.
In desperation, they began to analyze how to break Lin Yao's conspiracy.
But after analyzing it over and over again, most people's analysis results were the same.
If Lin Yao made a move on them again, it would cause a serious shrinkage of assets and a serious depreciation of shares.
Then it would really be a waste of effort.
The atmosphere at the scene was extremely solemn!
No one could laugh.
In desperation, several small shareholders were ready to sell all their shares to Lin Yao, cashing out the cash to invest in other Industry.
The breach was opened!
Others could not find a better reason to stop those shareholders who wanted to sell their shares first.
Even Cohen could not resist.
In the end, they parted unhappily. After returning, they went to find Lin Yao one by one and sold all their shares to Lin Yao.
In less than three days, Standard Chartered Group, a century-old company, had 100% of its shares belonging to Lin Yao.
And it became the core of Tianyao Group's financial business from then on.
Lin Yao used Standard Chartered Group as a springboard and officially sounded the clarion call for Lin Yao to enter the international financial circle.
…
Three days later, in the office of the chairman of the board of directors of Standard Chartered Group.
Lin Yao said to Zheng Jimin:
"I will return to Hong Kong Island in two days, and I will leave the matter here to you."
"Apply to London. I will buy another Gulfstream business jet to fly directly to London."
"I want to open a route so that it will be convenient to come here in the future."
"Yes, Brother Yao, I will do it this afternoon!" Zheng Jimin said respectfully.
Zheng Jimin's admiration for Lin Yao is beyond words!!
He never thought that Lin Yao would easily deal with those arrogant British ghosts after being here for a few days.
"Old Zheng, you have to do three things next."
"First, all the senior executives of the North must be driven out. The midfield must also be replaced. Replace them with our people!"
"Second, it will take half a year from now. Standard Chartered Group must withdraw from the stock market."
"Third, start financial expansion in the United States. I will give you three months."
Lin Yao said slowly to Zheng Jimin.
"Okay, Brother Yao, but why do we want to withdraw from the market?"
Zheng Jimin asked the question in his mind, and he knew the other two points.
A new emperor chooses his own ministers. Since the boss has fully controlled Standard Chartered Group, of course he has to use people he can trust.
As for entering the capital market of Country M, this was also what Brother Yao had told him a long time ago.
It's just that he hasn't figured out Standard Chartered Group's delisting.
Lin Yao smiled and said, "Old Zheng, just do it."
Lin Yao didn't explain.
In fact, Lin Yao did this to avoid supervision.
To go public, financial transparency is required.
This goes against Lin Yao's original intention of acquiring Standard Chartered Group.
Lin Yao doesn't want this core enterprise to be monitored.
Tianyao Group wants to extend its capital tentacles to the European and American markets, and the cash flow should not be known to others, otherwise it will bring a lot of trouble.
Lin Yao doesn't want this kind of trouble.
How fragrant it is to have a fully controlled company, so that the boat can pass through the water without leaving a trace!
"Yes, Mr. Lin!"
Although it is not clear why Lin Yao wants to delist, Zheng Jimin knows that his young boss must have his own ideas.
Although delisting will reduce the funds raised in the stock market.
But now Tianyao Group is not short of cash at all.
Tianyao Group now has more than 50 subsidiaries, and each subsidiary is profitable.
The amount of profit is still growing exponentially.
Especially in the mainland market, Tianyao Group is almost a household name in the mainland.
Because some people's livelihood products have been advertised on the central TV and influential local TV stations.
Lin Yao is also preparing to advertise electrical products during the prime time from the news broadcast to the weather forecast.
The acquisition of Standard Chartered Group by Tianyao Group has caused a sensation in the whole Hong Kong Island.
All major media in Hong Kong Island have put it on the headlines.
In addition to the media in Hong Kong Island, influential TV news in Asia, newspapers and even the mainland, New York Times, BBC, and Washington Evening News have made related reports.
…
Repulse Bay, Lei Yingdong Villa.
Lei Yingdong took off his glasses and put down the newspaper in his hand.
He rubbed his tired eyes with a handkerchief and sighed to his eldest son Lei Zhenting:
"Standard Chartered Group is really wholly owned by Lin Yao! How did this kid do it?"
"Tianyao Group now has the resources of Standard Chartered Bank and will make great progress in the international financial market."
"The distance between all the consortiums in Hong Kong Island and Tianyao Group will be widened."
"Yes, father, Tianyao Group now has the appearance of a top international consortium!"
"You see, even Cheung Kong Industries where Li Bancheng is located can't compare with him. As for other consortiums in Hong Kong Island, they can't even compare with him. It can be said that they are far behind."
After hearing Lei Zhenting's words, Lei Yingdong nodded. Nodding and saying:
"Zhenting, Mr. Lin is your role model!"
"You see, he has not only invested more than 20 billion in the mainland, but also has made big moves in the international market."
"You must study hard, don't just stay on the surface, learn from Mr. Lin's strengths from the heart!"
"Whether in the arena or in making money, she is better than me. When I was his age, I was still confused every day."
"At that time, I had a big direction in my mind, but I didn't know how to go at all."
"And he is very independent at a young age, and he puts it into practice, which is amazing!"
Lei Yingdong said to his son Lei Zhenting earnestly.
"Father, I have actually been learning from Mr. Lin since last year."
"Our family business must also start to transform like Tianyao Group."
"On the one hand, we should invest in the mainland, and on the other hand, we should have a place in the international market. Only by walking on two legs can we walk more steadily." Lei Zhenting said.
"That's good, then I'm relieved!"
Lei Yingdong nodded with relief.
He lit a cigar and walked to the French window to look at the sea view outside, and couldn't help sighing in his heart.
He sighed that Lin Yao's vision was really very accurate.
Just like last year's acquisition of Wharf and the expulsion of Li Bancheng's enterprise in the New Territories, it was really full of courage.
Today's conversation with his son made Lei Yingdong determined to walk on two legs,
First, continue to increase investment in the mainland, and second, further integrate with the international community!
Learn from Lin Yao in all aspects and expand the international influence of the Lei Group.
He is also ready to learn from Lin Yao and sharpen his knife to acquire and merge some high-quality overseas companies.
In fact, after Lin Yao acquired Standard Chartered Group, other consortiums in Hong Kong Island also followed suit. Their ideas were similar to Lei Yingdong's.
According to the different needs of each consortium, the development direction began to select investment countries and high-quality enterprises.
In order to increase the chances of winning, they have called Lin Yao to learn from him in the past few days.
Lin Yao has received many calls in the past few days.
In addition to humbly asking for advice from Lin Yao, the more important thing for these tycoons is to keep in touch.
Capital is not only profit-seeking, but also perfunctory.
Lin Yao certainly knows what these people are thinking, but he also gave them a lot of advice.
Because Lin Yao is also happy to see Hong Kong Island's consortiums develop overseas.
Only by developing together can the strength of the entire Chinese-funded group be strengthened.
After all, the capital market in the mainland is still too small, and there are almost no tycoons emerging.
It will take at least 10 years for the mainland consortium to really emerge.
Most of the tycoons in Hong Kong Island can be tied to their chariots and become allies with themselves.
Not only can it deal with the British-funded groups gathered in Hong Kong Island, but it can also open up new territories overseas, and then feed back to the mainland, speeding up the economic development of the mainland.
After Lin Yao acquired Standard Chartered Group, he was taking the initiative for an opportunity.
A big opportunity!
According to the memory of the previous life, there will be a big stock market crash in the United States next year.
When the economy of the United States is hit hard, it is time for him to take action.
Lin Yao prepared 50 billion US dollars, and then he would go to harvest high-quality American companies.
50 billion US dollars, Lin Yao does not have all his wealth now.
But he can lead the Chinese-funded enterprises in Hong Kong Island to take action together.
Everyone makes money together, but Lin Yao will not reveal a word now.
At night, after Lin Yao and Zhang Linwei made love in the castle for several hours, he began to check a document.
Zhang Linwei, with a happy face, hugged Lin Yao's arm and leaned over to look at these documents.
She saw the word Jaguar and asked:
"Brother Yao, are you going to take action on Jaguar cars?"
"Yes, since I'm in London this time, of course I have to learn more about it."
Lin Yao put the information on the bedside table and hugged Zhang Linwei with one hand.
The automobile industry is very profitable in this era.
Of course, he needs cooperation in multiple fields.
Tianyao Heavy Industry does not want to develop from scratch, so he can't wait, so Lin Yao chose to acquire.
Acquisition, of course, is a shortcut.
Great Britain is an old industrial country. It has dominated for two or three hundred years since the invention of the steam engine.
Except for the current M country, its foundation is unmatched by other countries.
A lean camel is bigger than a horse!
Even if Great Britain's industry is on the decline now.
But other countries are far behind Great Britain in industry.
In addition to reorganizing the Standard Chartered Group, another important purpose of Lin Yao's visit to London this time is to inspect car brands.
In addition to Great Britain, the automobile industry companies in other Western European countries have also caught his attention.
The information in Lin Yao's hand is not just about Jaguar, but about the entire Western European automobile companies.
After comparing the data of various automobile companies, Lin Yao already had a goal in mind.
