Family Centennial, Rising from Hong Kong Island

As for investing, forget it!

The daily property tax is not generally high, and there are not a few 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 used to be the manor of a nobleman, and he was also an earl.

Count Simon!

But after the [-]th century, the ever-growing aristocratic 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 life, those nobles had to sell their ancestral properties and manors.

Simon Manor was sold under such circumstances.

This manor covers a large area, about 10 hectares, the environment is very good, and there is an old castle inside!

Su Shaoze doesn't like the spooky appearance, but it can be turned into a tourist attraction.

He is going to hire someone to write a novel called [Simon Manor]!Small.

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

These days when Su Shaoze came to London, he lived in Ximen Manor, and the two girls, Zhou Haimei and Li Meixian, were eye-opening.

Unexpectedly, one day, he would be able to live in the castle of a nobleman who is not as good as it used to be.

Of course, activities at night are essential. Su Shaoze is fresh when he just took down these two girls, but they are exhausted, and he needs the help of his elder sister, Qin Ya, often.

On the third day after Su Shaoze came to London, the board of directors of Standard Chartered Bank was held.

The headquarters of Standard Chartered Bank is unremarkable. It is just an ordinary high-rise building in the city of London, even a little old, but because of the long time, it has a little more quaint taste.

This is the case throughout London, and even many places are not as prosperous as Hong Kong Island!

Apart from the bodyguards, those who came with Su Shaoze were the senior executives of Wing Lung Bank like Chen Zhiming.

A group of people wore suits, their figures were straight, and no one spoke, only the rattle of leather shoes on the ground.

The atmosphere is serious, but more imposing.

When the door of the meeting room was pushed open and a group of people walked in, everyone in the meeting room looked over.

Sitting facing him was the president of Standard Chartered Group, as well as the chairman and president of Standard Chartered Bank, Clement, 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 quite early~"

Surrounded by Chen Zhiming and others, Su Shaoze stepped in.

With a handsome face, sharp eyes, and an imposing manner, he stared at Clement and the others lightly, then walked to the seat opposite to Clement and sat down.

During this process, several people responded to him.

There are also a few people who are indifferent, and these people should be Clement's confidantes.Regarding this, Su Shaoze just smiled lightly and didn't care.

He doesn't care about the opinions of losers.

After sitting down, he waved to Qin Ya behind him.

Qin Ya immediately sent a document to each of these ghosts in the meeting room.

"What is placed in front of you is the share certificate transfer letter of Standard Chartered Bank and the stock certificate of the tradable shares."

"Now I hold a total of 52.8% of the shares 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 sitting there, and finally settled on Clement who was opposite him.

He is the president of Standard Chartered Group, and at this time Standard Chartered Group still holds nearly 40% of the stock.

Listening to Su Shaoze's words, Clement's face was very ugly, and he didn't even glance at the shareholding documents.

He already knew the result, and it didn't make any sense not to read it.

"What objection can I have? Congratulations, Mr. Su." Clement said coldly.

Although he was very angry, there was nothing he could do. Su Shaoze had already controlled more than 50% of the shares, and Clement could not stop him from becoming the chairman of the board of directors.

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.

"Thank you."

"I believe that under my leadership, Standard Chartered Bank will definitely get better and better." Su Shaoze smiled and sat at the top.

He said a few big words, which can be regarded as an inaugural speech, and the modesty that foreigners don't understand, Su Shaoze just followed suit.

"From this moment on, I will exercise the authority of the chairman of the board of directors. The person next to me is Mr. Chen Zhiming."

"He previously worked for JP Morgan Chase, Hong Kong Island HSBC Bank, Hong Kong Island Wing Lung Bank, and served as the president of Hong Kong Island Wing Lung Bank. He has rich experience in the industry,"

"From today, he will be the new chief executive of Standard Chartered Bank."

Chen Zhiming stood up and said with a smile: "I hope that I can work happily with everyone in Standard Chartered in the future."

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 large international bank with a century-old history and branches in major regions of the world, much larger than Wing Lung Bank.

As the president of such a bank, Chen Zhiming was excited, but also felt extremely pressured.

In this regard, Clement, the former president of Standard Chartered Bank, who was sitting on the sidelines, did not express any opinions. He had long expected that his position as president would be removed.

After the Galaxy Group acquires Standard Chartered Bank, they will definitely replace such an important position as the president with their people, and even install some people into the bank's leadership.

This is what should be done, and Clement cannot stop it, but fortunately, he is still the president of Standard Chartered Group and a member of the board of directors of Standard Chartered Bank.

Standard Chartered Group still holds nearly 40% of the shares!

As everyone knows, Su Shaoze is already coveting the 40% shares of Standard Chartered Group, as well as the shares in the hands of several small shareholders.

"Here, I announce the second decision."

Su Shaoze glanced at these ghosts, and continued: "Standard Chartered Bank is a great bank with a history of more than [-] years and branches all over the world."

"But~"

"It's not enough, Standard Chartered's business in the United States is simply terrible."

"The United States is the largest economy in the world today. How can Standard Chartered Bank ignore the market in the United States?"

It's not that Standard Chartered Bank has no branches in the United States, but there are too few, let alone JPMorgan Chase, Manhattan, or Wells Fargo.

In the next decade or so, Galaxy Group's main expansion strategy will be in the United States.

Therefore, the strength of Standard Chartered Bank in the United States needs to be strengthened.

"Therefore, the Galaxy Group 5 Group will inject another 3 million US dollars into Standard Chartered Bank. It must increase the number of Standard Chartered Bank's branches in the United States within one year, and double the business volume~"

Su Shaoze talked endlessly about his development plan for Standard Chartered Bank, but the faces of Clement and several small shareholders changed dramatically.

Su Shaoze is 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.

The Galaxy Group took out [-] million yuan at once, so the Standard Chartered Group must follow suit, otherwise their equity will be diluted rapidly, and the right to speak will be reduced again.

Clement was shocked and his face was ugly.

"Damn~"

"Consequences of Standard Chartered being controlled by Galaxy Group emerge.".

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

What will happen if Standard Chartered Bank is controlled by Galaxy Group?

The right to speak of the Standard Chartered Group will be greatly reduced. When faced with some major decisions, it will be difficult for them to counter the Galaxy Group's decision.

Just like now, Su Shaoze decides to expand the banking business in the United States, which requires a lot of US dollars.

What if the bank itself has insufficient assets?

Capital increase!

In order to ensure that its own equity will not be diluted, Standard Chartered Group must maintain the same proportion of capital increase as Galaxy Group.

But the problem now is that the Standard Chartered Group has no money!

I lost a large amount of money in a failed investment in the United States, and the rest of the money was locked up, and I couldn't get it out in a short time.

Moreover, there was a shareholding battle with the Galaxy Group before, and the Standard Chartered Group also spent a lot of money and repaid part of the loan.

It can be said that the current Standard Chartered Group is almost becoming an empty shelf, with a lot of debts.

There is no strength to compete financially with the Galaxy Group.

Galaxy Group injected [-] million US dollars?

The Standard Chartered Bank will have to spend 1.6 million US dollars.

Thinking of this number, Claremont gasped at 08, his face was frighteningly dark, and he looked at Su Shaoze with glaring eyes.

"I disagree~"

Clement immediately retorted, speaking righteously and resolutely.

"Standard Chartered Bank is already one of the largest banks in the world and has many branches in the United States. We don't need to spend a lot of money to expand our business."

The Standard Chartered Group suffered heavy losses in investing in the United States before, which left a deep impression on Claremont.

Once bitten by a snake and afraid of well ropes for ten years, he didn't want to fall into that big pit in the United States again.

"Yes, this decision is too risky."

Clement's words were agreed by several other small shareholders. Standard Chartered Bank has no money, and they don't have much money!

Moreover, it is too unknown to go to the United States to do business, what to do if you lose money.
