Rebirth of Hong Kong 1981

Yang Chen glanced at this unscrupulous foreign old man, with speechlessness written all over his face, but Chen Yulian beside her was pretty and blushed, looking at him bewilderedly.

Yang Chen put his arms around Chen Yulian's slender waist, sat directly opposite Shen Congee, and said with a smile: "Mr. Shen, I wonder if I can drink the tea you brewed yourself today!"

"Naturally no problem." Shen Conge got up and walked to the desk, and brought a document.

"Yang Sheng might as well take a look at this first. Just an hour ago, I persuaded the directors to sell 60.00% of HSBC's 50.00% shares of Hang Seng Bank to Yang Sheng."

"As for the price, Yang Sheng must pay in cash according to the current market value of Hang Seng."

Yang Chen took the information handed over by Shen Congee and flipped through it. Seeing the densely packed English on it, Yang Chen let go of Chen Yulian's hand, and looked through it carefully.

While watching, Yang Chen asked, "Don't HSBC need to split up Hang Seng's business?"

After Shen Porridge poured a bottle of special water into the teapot, he responded with a smile, "With Yang Sheng's guarantee, I don't think it's necessary."

Yang Chen just smiled, didn't say much, and continued to browse the information of Hang Seng Bank.

"Mr. Shen, is it possible for the above shareholders to sell their shares in Hang Seng Bank?"

Seeing the shares held by the founders of Hang Seng Bank, Yang Chen couldn't help frowning. Although he didn't mind HSBC holding shares in Hang Seng Bank, others couldn't.

Shen Wenyan was taken aback, glanced at it, and said, "Yang Sheng wants to eat all the remaining shares of Hang Seng Bank?"

Yang Chen said seriously: "That's right, except for the shares held by HSBC, other shareholders of Hang Seng Bank, and the shares floating in the market, I need to buy back all of them."

HSBC holds shares in Hang Seng, there is no other way, but he doesn't want them to take advantage of others.

Next, each of his investments will be divided into personal investment and bank investment. Personal investment belongs to him alone, while bank investment is to gather all the people who have interests with him, so that everyone can follow along. He drinks soup behind.

Now the shares held by the founders of Hang Seng Bank have exceeded the remaining shares held by HSBC Bank. These people hold shares in Hang Seng Bank, which does not benefit Yang Chen at all. Yang Chen naturally does not want them to take advantage of it for nothing.

Chapter 523 15 Million Acquisition

Shen Congee was not surprised by Yang Chen's thoughts. In this era, there is not much difference between investment banks and commercial banks, and the difference is only focused on problems.

Even in the 21st century, investment banking and commerce have always been mixed operations, and many large banks have developed in all directions.

Regarding Yang Chen's wholehearted desire to make the company private, Shen Porridge couldn't say anything. Everyone has their own way of doing things, outsiders can't control it, and they don't have the right to control it.

The reason why many listed companies go public is to make money for development, but Yang Chen is not short of money and cash, so naturally he doesn't need to take his company to the public market to make money.

However, delisting Hang Seng Bank is not an easy task.

Shen Porridge frowned and said: "Yang Sheng, I'm afraid it's a bit difficult. If it's Hang Seng shares in the market, it's relatively easy to buy them, but the founder shareholders of Hang Seng want to get shares from them, I'm afraid It won't be easy."

"Especially Chairman He, I don't know if you have taken a serious look at Yang Sheng?"

The reason why HSBC did not intervene in Hang Seng's affairs at the beginning was that the development of Hang Seng could not be separated from the Chinese management, and another big reason was because of Chairman He.

One day when the other party is around, once HSBC intervenes forcibly, it will only destabilize Hang Seng Bank.

Another point is that Hang Seng serves the deposits of small and medium-sized enterprises and ordinary people at the bottom, while HSBC serves large groups, large companies and social elites.

The two are not on the same level, and even if there is competition, it is not that intense.

Therefore, HSBC has always allowed Hang Seng Bank to develop on its own without too much intervention. Even in the later stage, in order to restrain Standard Chartered Bank, HSBC also deliberately supported Hang Seng to compete with it.

The founders of most companies will not give up their company shares easily until the last moment.

Hang Seng Bank was founded in [-]. At the beginning, it was jointly operated by Lin Bingyan, He Shanheng, Liang Zhiwei, Sheng Chunlin and He Tian. Later, due to Lin Bingyan's early death, the position of chairman of Hang Seng Bank has been held by the second person of Hang Seng Bank since then. He Shanheng is in charge.

The chairman of Hang Seng Bank is not a simple person. If it were not for the sudden banking crisis in [-], Hang Seng led by him would not necessarily lose to HSBC.

At the end of the 60s, this old man also led the compilation of the "Hang Seng Index". And it has been used to future generations.

As for the Chairman He of Hang Seng Bank, Yang Chen had already learned about it in detail when he came up with the idea of ​​Hang Seng Bank, so when Shen Congee specifically mentioned it, he couldn't help but frowned again.

Since the establishment of Hang Seng Bank, I don't know how many people have been helped by He Shanheng. For this kind of powerful, prestigious and respectable old man.

It's definitely not good to be tough, even if you win, you will be criticized.

But to be soft, is the other party willing to give up the shares in his hand?Are you willing to give up the position of chairman?

He doesn't think he can easily take over Hang Seng Bank since he bought 50.00% of Hang Seng shares from HSBC.

Seeing that Yang Chen was frowning and looking like he was having a headache, Shen Congee reminded at the right time: "Sheng Yang, I got news that Chairman He already has plans to retire.

Yang Sheng, you might as well find some time to have a good chat with that Chairman He. I believe that even if it is for the good of Hang Seng, that Chairman He will not embarrass you too much. "

Being reminded by Shen Porridge, Yang Sheng's eyes lit up.

'Yeah, why do I have to go into a dead end? That Chairman He is already old, and it should be the age of retirement. If I can have a good talk with the other party, with the 50.00% I got back from HSBC Bank shares, the other party may retire early and give up the position of chairman to himself.

As for the shares, if the other party is really unwilling to give them up, the worst thing is to spend money and dilute the other party's shares. In more than a month, his game console will be listed, and he will have a lot of money in his account. The last thing he needs is money. '

Moreover, Yang Chen has already made up his mind. Next, he will work hard to learn from Warren Buffett, take profits and share dividends, and continue to invest the money he earns to expand his business.

I believe that once he announces that Hang Seng Bank will no longer pay dividends in the future, those remaining shareholders and shareholders who hold Hang Seng shares will definitely sell their shares one after another.

No dividends, once this promise comes out, no matter how high the prestige of Chairman He is, it will be difficult to continue to occupy the position under his ass.

As entrepreneurs of the older generation, while they are making money, they will cherish the business they have built by themselves, just like their children.

If Yang Chen can make a promise of no dividends and concentrate on developing Hang Seng, as long as the explanation is reasonable, I believe that old man will be very willing to see him take over Hang Seng.

Most of the shares of Hang Seng Bank are in the hands of HSBC, and the founders of Hang Seng Bank have no chance of passing on from father to son.

These days, major shareholders enjoy absolute ownership of any company.

Soft ones are okay, so everyone can talk and discuss.

If it really doesn't work, then you can only tear your skin apart to be tough.

He spent more than a billion yuan to acquire shares in Hang Seng Bank, so it is naturally impossible for him to let the money go to waste.

After Yang Chen thought it through, he combined the information in his hand and said, "Mr. Shen, according to the current market value of Hang Seng Bank, I am willing to pay 15 billion Hong Kong dollars to acquire 50.00% of Hang Seng Bank's shares. What do you think?"

Seeing that Yang Chen was so straightforward, and Shen Congee was not petty, he nodded and smiled: "Sheng Yang, 15 billion Hong Kong dollars, 50.00% of the shares, this price is very fair to you and me, and I agree on behalf of HSBC."

The reason why Shen Congee didn't care about those details was that he knew that once Hang Seng left HSBC, the market value would drop further.

As for why?

The reason is simple. HSBC is the bank of Hong Kong's note issuer, and Hang Seng has HSBC as its backer. If there is another shortage of funds that day, it will not be overrun and bankrupt.

Without the support of HSBC, the potential of Hang Seng will be greatly reduced, and the market value will naturally decline accordingly.

Especially now that the Hang Seng Index has plummeted, no one can guarantee whether unpredictable things will happen in the market.
