MTL - Centennial Family, Rising From Hong Kong Island-Chapter 279
She also kindly reminded them that when the plane lands, there may be strong turbulence.
If you don't fasten your seat belt at this time, and you are still sleeping in bed, you are likely to be thrown to the ground, and the scene is beautiful.
After Qin Ya left, Zhou Haimei and Li Meixian looked at each other with blushing faces.
However, after this incident, the relationship between the two became much closer.
You must know that in the training class, they are not a small gang, and there is no shortage of open and secret battles between those girls.
"Meixian, I didn't expect you to come here." Zhou Haimei said while wearing stockings.
"You're not the same."
"No, I mean your grades are good, you must be one of the candidates to debut, why bother~"
Li Meixian put on her high heels, turned her head and smiled at Zhou Haimei: "Is the debut over?"
"That's just the beginning for our lives."
"I want to go further~"
Li Meixian is more mature than Zhou Haimei. She clearly knows what she wants and how to go further.
So she would not reject this kind of thing, so after Liu Fusheng told her about it, she was more decisive than Zhou Haimei.
Not for debut, but because of Su Shaoze.
As long as he has a bond with Su Shaoze, it is equivalent to having a backer on this chaotic Hong Kong Island.
After the plane experienced a turbulence, it stopped at Lundun Airport, the hatch opened, and the bodyguards got off first, and then everyone got off the plane one after another.
The group of people all wore suits, and they had a strong aura when they walked together, which made everyone in the airport stunned.
Outside the airport, the vehicle to greet them was already waiting.
The Galaxy Group has few industries in Japan and has not set up branch offices, but there are still liaison offices.
Buses and cars, more than a dozen vehicles left the airport in a mighty manner.
And in the middle of the road, a few cars followed, but they didn't come up, they kept following from a distance.
In this regard, Su Shaoze's bodyguard did not care, very calm.
This is not an enemy, but a member of the Lone Wolf's branch who cannot survive in the sun. They received an order to protect Su Shaoze and his party.
This time, there were many people who followed Su Shaoze to Japan. In addition to some members of the think tank and bodyguards, there were more people from Wing Lung Bank.
They are headed by Chen Zhiming, CEO of Wing Lung Bank, and they are all elite backbones.
And their only purpose in coming to Japan is to take over Standard Chartered Bank.
Chen Zhiming will serve as the CEO of Standard Chartered Bank, and others will also serve as senior management of Standard Chartered Bank.
As for Wing Lung Bank, except for Maoziguo branch which is carrying out important tasks, the others will be integrated into Standard Chartered Bank as a whole.
After the acquisition of Standard Chartered Bank, Galaxy Group will have two banks.
However, in this way, it will result in a lack of concentration, waste of resources, and low efficiency.
Therefore, from the moment Standard Chartered Bank was acquired, Galaxy Group began to prepare for the integration of the two banks.
Form a brand new Standard Chartered Bank!
In the future, the bank will become the core of Galaxy Group's financial business.
And because of the addition of Wing Lung Bank, the institutional strength of Standard Chartered Bank in the West Pacific generation will increase exponentially, and its influence will be greatly enhanced.
Therefore, the headquarters of Standard Chartered Bank will also be transferred from Lundun to Hong Kong Island!
However, whether it is the integration of the two banks or the transfer of the headquarters of Standard Chartered Bank, it is not a trivial matter and requires a period of adjustment, even after a period of turmoil.
Before that, what Su Shaoze had to do was to arrange his own people into the senior management of Standard Chartered Bank.
Guaranteed administrative control over Standard Chartered Bank!
After the convoy left the airport, it was divided into two parts. Those Chen Zhiming and his party went to the hotel in the city to stay, while Su Shaoze took the bodyguards to the suburbs and came to a manor.
This is the manor that Su Shaoze bought a year ago, just to have a place to live in the future, instead of staying in a hotel all the time.
As for investing, forget it!
The daily property tax is not generally high, and there are many people who sell their houses every year because they cannot pay the property tax.
In Japan, it is a bit unrealistic to want to make money by investing in real estate.
However, the reason why Su Shaoze bought this manor was mainly because it was once a nobleman's manor, and he was also an earl.
Earl Simon!
But after the twentieth century, the nobility system began to disintegrate. After World War II, the man who lost the empire gave these nobles the final blow.
In order to maintain a decent living, those nobles had to sell their ancestral property and manor.
It was under these circumstances that the Shimon estate was sold.
This manor covers an area of about 10 hectares. The environment is very good, and there is an ancient castle inside!
Su Shaoze doesn't like the gloomy appearance, but it can be turned into a tourist attraction.
He is going to hire someone to write a novel, which is called [Simon Manor]! Small.
Chapter 485 Chairman of the Board of Directors, Acquisition of Standard Chartered Bank [Seeking flowers! Ask for a monthly pass! 】
Su Shaoze lived in the Ximeng Manor these days when he came to Lundun, and the two girls, Zhou Haimei and Li Meixian, were also eye-opening.
I didn't expect that one day I would be able to live in the castle of the nobles.
Of course, activities at night are essential. Su Shaoze was fresh when he had just won these two girls, but he couldn't make them tired. He needed Qin Ya, the big sister, to help him often.
On the third day that Su Shaoze came to Lundun, the board of directors of Standard Chartered Bank convened.
The headquarters of Standard Chartered Bank is inconspicuous. It is just an ordinary high-rise building in Lundun City, and it is even a bit old. It is just because of the long time, it has a more quaint flavor.
This is the case throughout Lundun, and even many places are not as prosperous as Hong Kong Island!
Along with Su Shaoze, in addition to the bodyguards, it was Chen Zhiming's group of senior executives of Wing Lung Bank.
A group of people dressed in suits, with straight silhouettes, went straight forward, no one spoke, only the leather shoes made a rattling sound when they stepped on the ground.
The atmosphere is serious, but stronger.
When the door of the conference room was pushed open and a group of people walked in, everyone in the conference room looked over.
Sitting in front of him was the president of Standard Chartered Group and the chairman and president of Standard Chartered Bank, Clermont, but his face was very ugly.
In addition, there are some ghosts, all of whom are shareholder representatives of Standard Chartered Bank.
"Everyone, it's very early~"
Surrounded by Chen Zhiming and others, Su Shaoze walked in.
With a handsome face, sharp eyes, and a compelling aura, he stared at Clermont and the others lightly, then walked to the seat opposite Clermont and sat down.
In the process, several people responded to him.
There are also a few people who are indifferent, and these people should be Clermont's confidants. In this regard, Su Shaoze just smiled lightly and didn't care.
He doesn't care about the opinions of the losers.
After sitting down, he waved to Qin Ya behind him.
Qin Ya immediately sent a document to each of the ghosts in the conference room.
"In front of you are the transfer certificate of the share certificate of Standard Chartered Bank and the stock certificate of the tradable shares."
"Now I hold a total of 52.8% of Standard Chartered Bank."
"According to the company's articles of association, I will automatically serve as the chairman of the board of directors of Standard Chartered Bank."
"Everyone, do you have any objections?"
Su Shaoze glanced at the people who were sitting, and his eyes finally stayed on the opposite Clermont.
He is the president of Standard Chartered Group, which still holds nearly 40% of the stock at this time.
Listening to Su Shaoze's words, Clermont's face was very ugly, and he didn't even glance at the equity documents.
He already knew the result, and it didn't make sense to see it or not.
"Can I have any objection? Congratulations, Mr. Su." Clermont said coldly.
Although he was very angry, there was nothing he could do. Su Shaoze had already mastered more than 50% of the shares. If he wanted to become the chairman of the board, Clermont couldn't stop him.
Instead, he consciously stood up from the first position and sat in another position, representing the transfer of power of the Board of Directors of Standard Chartered Bank.
"thanks."
"I believe that under my leadership, Standard Chartered Bank will get better and better." Su Shaoze smiled and took the first place.
Having said a few big words, it is considered an inaugural speech, and foreigners don't understand the modesty, so Su Shaoze also brags about it.
"From this moment on, I began to exercise the powers of the chairman of the board of directors. Next to me is Mr. Chen Zhiming."
"He has previously worked for JPMorgan Chase in the United States, HSBC on Hong Kong Island, Wing Lung Bank on Hong Kong Island, and as President of Wing Lung Bank on Hong Kong Island. He has rich experience in the industry."
"From today, he will be the new president of Standard Chartered Bank."
Chen Zhiming got up and said with a smile: "I hope that I can work happily with you all in the future at Standard Chartered."
At this moment, his heart was also extremely excited.
Before that, he never thought that he could become the president of Standard Chartered Bank.
This is a century-old international bank with branches in major regions of the world, much larger than Wing Lung Bank.
As the president of such a bank, Chen Zhiming felt a lot of pressure at the same time as he was excited.
In this regard, Clermont, the former president of Standard Chartered Bank, who was sitting on the side, did not express any opinion. He had long expected that his position as president would be removed.
After the Galaxy Group acquired Standard Chartered Bank, it will definitely replace such an important position as the president with their people, and even put some people into the bank's leadership.
This is all due, and Clermont can't stop it, but fortunately he is also the president of Standard Chartered Group and a member of the board of directors of Standard Chartered Bank.
Standard Chartered Group also holds nearly 40% of the shares!
As everyone knows, Su Shaoze has already coveted the 40% shares of Standard Chartered Group and the shares in the hands of several minority shareholders.
"Here, I announce a second decision."
Su Shaoze glanced at the ghosts and continued: "Standard Chartered Bank is a great bank with a history of more than 100 years and branches all over the world."
"But~"
"That's not enough, Standard Chartered's business in the U.S. is simply terrible."
"The US is the largest economy in the world today. How can we at Standard Chartered ignore the US market?"
Standard Chartered Bank does not have no branches in the United States, but there are too few, not to mention JPMorgan Chase, Manhattan, or Wells Fargo and other banks.
In the next ten years, the main expansion strategy of Galaxy Group is in the United States.
Therefore, the power of Standard Chartered Bank in the United States needs to be strengthened.
"So, Galaxy Group 5 will inject another US$200 million into Standard Chartered Bank, and within one year, Standard Chartered Bank will add three branches in the United States and double its business volume~"
Su Shaoze kept talking about his development plan for Standard Chartered Bank, but Clermont and a few minority shareholders changed their faces.
Su Shaoze is actually planning to expand his business in the United States?
It's not impossible, but it requires a lot of investment. Standard Chartered Bank's assets are not enough, so shareholders need to increase capital.
Galaxy Group took out 200 million at once, so Standard Chartered Group must follow suit, otherwise their equity will be rapidly diluted, and the right to speak will be reduced again.
Claremont was shocked and his face was ugly.
"Damn~"
"Consequences of Standard Chartered Bank being controlled by Galaxy Group emerged.".
Chapter 486: Strong annexation, wholly-owned holding [Seeking flowers! Ask for a monthly pass! 】
What will happen if Standard Chartered Bank is controlled by Galaxy Group?
The Standard Chartered Group's right to speak will be greatly reduced. When faced with some major decisions, it is difficult for them to compete with the Galaxy Group's decision.
