Chapter 1146 The board of directors of Huifeng Bank agrees to sell Huifeng Bank
Bao Yugang was shocked.
The person who was even more shocked than Bao Yugang was none other than Shi Yuadi, the current chairman of Swire.
After Shi Jodi took over his eldest brother John Shi's position as chairman of Swire and head of the Schweizer family, Shi Jodi had already sent people to talk to Zhongxin Group for a long time.
Now, the Imperial Group actually wanted to swallow up HSBC, and it was impossible for him to agree to it.
Of course, he is only a shareholder and director of Huifeng Bank, and the decision-making power does not lie with him.
The most critical decision-making power lies with the cabinet of country Y, the royal family, Shen Bi, and the European shareholders of Huifeng Bank.
Although shareholders like them are directors, they do not have any decision-making power, just like when Shen Bi asked to sell Hutchison Whampoa to the Imperial Group.
Shen Bi just informed them of such a result.
Shen Bi looked at the faces of the directors sitting here and had already guessed it.
However, when he decided to sell Huifeng Bank to the Imperial Group, it was impossible to go back on his words.
Regardless of whether these directors agree or not, Shen Bi will use the name of the board of directors to determine the sale of Huifeng Bank to the Imperial Group.
"Everyone, Huifeng Bank has developed to this day. For the future of Huifeng Bank, I also agree to sell Huifeng Bank to Imperial Group." Shen Bi said directly.
When Shen Bi said it, the other directors sitting there were already not surprised.
After all, no one knows about the relationship between Yang Ming and Shen Bi.
What's more, what Imperial Group is doing now is obviously to acquire Huifeng Bank.
However, due to the special nature of Huifeng Bank, it is not easy for Imperial Group to swallow up Huifeng Bank.
"Guys, do you have any suggestions?"
Now Shen Bi has said that.
As for Xu Shixun, they are both directors and major shareholders of Huifeng Bank. For example, the Xu family still owns 5% of the shares in Huifeng Bank. If Huifeng Bank is to be sold to the Imperial Group, he will definitely not object.
Apart from the relationship between Sir Yang and the Imperial Group, he felt that under the current situation of Huifeng Bank, selling it to the Imperial Group was also a good decision.
On the contrary, people like Shi Yuadi are determined not to sell Huifeng Bank to the Imperial Group.
Huifeng Bank is British-owned. If even Huifeng Bank was sold to the Imperial Group.
So what is left of country Y in Xiangjiang?
Really not much?
That is Swire and some other small British companies.
This was really unimaginable to Shi Jodi.
"I will give you half an hour to think about it now. In half an hour, you will vote whether to sell Huifeng Bank to the Imperial Group?" Shen Bi said directly.
The other directors looked at each other.
Shi Jodi, on the other hand, took out his mobile phone, excused himself to go to the corridor outside, and hurriedly called his eldest brother Shi John.
In addition, other shareholders also talked on the phone.
The half hour is not over yet.
At this time, all walks of life in Hong Kong, London, and even Europe and the United States had learned that Imperial Group had proposed to acquire Huifeng Bank.
Before that, the Imperial Group had sent people to London to lobby the cabinet, the royal family, and even the European shareholders of Huifeng Bank. In fact, they already knew about it.
But now the Imperial Group has officially announced it.
Even now the board of directors of Huifeng Bank has decided to vote.
"Brother, I absolutely disagree with Sir Yang's intention to acquire Huifeng Bank." Shi Yuadi said on the Motorola mobile phone.
At this time, John Shi, who had returned to a mansion in London, received a call from his compatriot brother. John Shi was not only shocked but also shocked.
He didn't even expect that he had just given up the position of chairman of Swire to his younger brother, and now the Imperial Group was going to swallow up Huifeng Bank.
However, he knew that his brother's statement was useless.
Imperial Group must have been planning for a long time to acquire Huifeng Bank.
"As soon as the vote is taken, you will abstain." John Shi said.
Although John Shi knew that the Imperial Group even wanted to swallow the Swire Group, it was just that the two sides hadn't completely tore apart the skins. However, the Xiangjiang First Airlines, Coca-Cola, and the sugar industry's offensive against the Swire Market established by the Imperial Group over the years , John Shi knew that the Imperial Group and Taikoo had long been at odds.
However, the reason why he is abstaining now is to show that he does not 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 Imperial Group actually want to acquire Huifeng Bank.
what does this mean?
If Imperial Group successfully acquires Huifeng Bank, it means that Xiangjiang's finance is completely in the hands of Imperial Group.
It can be said that the most powerful financial bank in Hong Kong now is the Imperial Group.
Its subsidiaries already include Xiangjiang Overseas Trust Bank, Zada Bank, and other Chinese banks.
In addition, there are American-owned banks, Japanese-owned banks, and Z-owned banks. However, these combined are not as powerful as the Imperial Group Financial Bank.
If you add the current Huifeng Bank, the Imperial Group becomes even more terrifying.
However, Bao Yugang knew that he would not object to the Imperial Group's acquisition of Huifeng Bank now.
Now he even begged the Imperial Group.
"Sir Yang is really the light of our Chinese people. Others can't do it, but Sir Yang has done it." Bao Yugang sighed again.
"Father, it seems that Sir Yang is very confident about swallowing 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.
. . .
After half an hour.
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 abstain from voting on behalf of the Swire Group." Shi Yudi 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."
