Chapter 2448
The Grand Cooperation Plan
I want to understand the situation of a certain bank and its impact on the Hong Kong economy.
That would require a lengthy explanation.
In short, the share price of a certain bank has fallen from HK$18 per share in July last year to single digits this year.
Based on past experience, the price is expected to fall to a low of HK$7 per share in the second half of the year.
However, since the goal is to make large-scale acquisitions, it's definitely not advisable to buy at the lowest possible price.
Therefore, Guo Shumiao joined forces with several big players to buy up large quantities of individual shares on the secondary market at a price of eight to nine Hong Kong dollars.
In public pronouncements, it was euphemistically called "market rescue."
Even if foreigners are unwilling to allow non-whites to join the bank's board of directors.
However, Guo Shumiao's actions can only be praised on the surface.
After all, a certain bank accounts for a little over one percent of the benchmark of the entire Hong Kong stock market. As long as the bank doesn't fall, the Hong Kong stock market can remain stable.
The sharp drop has turned into a slow decline.
This is definitely a positive development for Hong Kong's economy.
However, although Guo Shumiao took this opportunity to enter the board of directors of a certain company,
However, in the 1960s, a certain bank acquired a 51% controlling stake in a certain company for 51 million.
Today, the market value of a certain bank has reached 400 billion, but a certain company still maintains absolute control.
In reality, it is a certain Feng who controls the current economy of Hong Kong Island.
It's that simple.
In this regard, Feng absolutely will not allow outsiders to interfere.
Lou Xiao'e, along with the Huo family and several other bigwigs, could scrape together over 20 billion Hong Kong dollars if they sold everything they owned for a reverse takeover.
But how do we compete with a multinational bank with a market capitalization of hundreds of billions?
Therefore, the fact that Lou Xiao'e and her group were able to take advantage of the opportunity to get Guo Shumiao into a position was already the greatest power they could muster.
If a certain bank uses its status as a major shareholder to issue more shares.
By reusing the "poison pills" they had previously planted, Feng has the right of first refusal at the same price.
That would quickly dilute the 10% equity stake controlled by Guo Shumiao.
This led to her being removed from the board of directors.
Therefore, Lou Xiao'e and her team paid a heavy price to achieve such a balance.
After numerous rounds of clandestine negotiations and countless guarantees, the official entry into the market finally took place.
Among them, the Guo family, a wealthy Southeast Asian business family, is also a major public shareholder of a certain company.
Lou Xiao'e and Mr. Huo paid a great price to reach a cooperation agreement with the Guo family and form a united front.
The two parties together hold more than 20% of the shares in a certain bank.
They are at least minor shareholders and have a certain say in the matter.
To put it bluntly, Lou Xiao'e and her group spent billions of yuan to secure a position with influence at a certain bank that issues Hong Kong dollars.
This is indeed, as some media outlets have said, a very difficult and significant step forward.
It's more prestigious than Chinese businessmen building several landmark buildings independently.
The news of Guo Shumiao joining the board of directors of a certain company only occupied three lines in a local economic review newspaper in Johns Hopkins.
This is normal. Even if foreigners value us in reality, they will pretend not to care on the surface.
They portrayed Guo Shumiao's entry into the bureau as a test of their democratic reforms.
A certain Fengyuan Group executive on Hong Kong Island did indeed consider launching a 'poison pill' plan.
But the situation is different now.
If the foreign woman wants to have a "good talk" with our family, then she must guarantee the interests of our compatriots in Hong Kong.
Therefore, some highly targeted methods are strictly prohibited from use in North America.
Moreover, Lou Xiao'e also gave a certain Feng Bank an irresistible gift. The head office of Feng Bank, John Bull, was where Shen Daban, who had been implicated in Mr. Mu's affair, later worked.
In reality, he was the de facto emperor, still remotely directing Feng's economic strategy in Asia.
Shen Daban had a very bad impression of Lou Xiao'e, and to some extent regarded her as his enemy.
After all, his departure from Hong Kong Island was not exactly dignified, all because of Lou Xiao'e's counterattack.
That's just how the world is; social discrimination has always existed.
As people from developed Western countries, they can bully Lou Xiao'e.
There was no other reason; our family was indeed poor at the time.
But if you fight back and slap him hard in the face, then you're in the wrong.
But people in business are good at reading the winds of change.
It is now quite clear that Xiao Rizi has become a problem for Amarica's influence in the entire Asia region.
So, if América wanted to improve her life, she had to win over some people she dared not offend.
Our family is situated between our humble home and our northern neighbors, and our relationship with them hasn't been very good in recent years.
So now Amarica is trying every means to win over our family.
If the boss is trying to win people over, then the underlings naturally won't dare to do anything wrong.
This is also why, despite the suppression of Shen Daban's poison pill plan by a certain Feng executive, he had no choice but to accept it.
Moreover, he now has a cooperation plan in his hands, which was sent by Lou Xiao'e through a certain Hong Kong company.
This is a business deal worth tens of billions.
With this money, even if it means Shen Daban washes her bottom clean and goes out to sell herself, it's all possible.
Not to mention the humiliation of some old stories.
Nothing else, Lou Xiao'e just let Feng know about her plans for managing her personal finances.
And they invited a certain Feng to join them in reaping a comfortable life.
Although Feng has also conducted research and made plans regarding this matter.
After all, the foreigners have already seen the economy of our small town as a piece of fat meat.
But if the goal is to extract meat from a live pig, then the knife should be as sharp as possible and the risk as low as possible.
Therefore, some local Hong Kong tycoons were thinking of cooperating with them, and Feng also felt that it was quite suitable.
They are, after all, banks, and are enormous in size, but some of their business strategies cannot be as aggressive as those of conglomerates.
Since they're taking depositors' money, everyone's happy when they make a profit.
If we lose money, then there will be a big problem.
So when Lou Xiao'e extended an olive branch, a certain bank was quite tempted.
Guo Shumiao walked into Lou Xiao'e's office building in Central, took out a document from her handbag and smiled, "They agreed."
"That old fox Shen Bi didn't even bother to negotiate the terms much."
Lou Xiao'e looked up at her 'sister-in-law' and said calmly, 'Of course he agrees. Although he has been paying attention to this game, he doesn't dare to bet heavily.'
I'm afraid it will provoke a backlash from the little ones.
Now that we're willing to be the vanguard, it means we're helping Feng take on most of the risk.
They split the money regardless of whether they win or lose.
If it were me, I would be willing to do this kind of business too.
····
well,···
There's nothing I can do, Shumiao. You can only pray to the gods and Buddhas, hoping that the money you make in your daily life will actually appreciate in value within three to five years.
Otherwise, the interest alone would bankrupt us.
Guo Shumiao also said solemnly, "Sister-in-law, we didn't have to gamble so much." (End of Chapter)
