Rebirth of Hong Kong 1981

   Chapter 535 Privatization

   In the first place, He Shanheng looked at the serious face of Yang Chen on the opposite side, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

   He didn't expect Yang Chen to come here. The first thing he did was not to fight for power, but to make it clear that he wanted to get the shares of Hang Seng Bank from the shareholders present.

   This was beyond He Shanheng's expectations.

  He Shanheng said, "Yang Sheng, have you ever thought about it? If you continue to repurchase Hang Seng shares, the stock exchange may ask Hang Seng Bank to delist at that time."

  Yang Chen shrugged and said, "It doesn't matter, the most important thing I don't lack is money."

  He Shanheng: "…"

  He Xin: "…"

  Li Guowei: "…"

   All shareholders: "…"

   Although this sentence is true, the directors and shareholders are a little itchy when they hear it.

Before everyone could express the jealousy and hatred in their hearts, Yang Chen said slowly: "Remind you all, after the shareholders' meeting, I will hold a press conference. If you support financing and share expansion, accept the cancellation of dividends, or you will leave it later. The shares were sold to me at market price.

  Please think clearly, directors and shareholders, if Hang Seng's share price falls again after the press conference, I will not buy your shares at a premium. "

  The naked coercion and inducement, all the directors and shareholders of Hang Seng Bank have finally seen the true face of Yang Chen until now. All the nonsense in front of him is superfluous.

   The last one, forcing everyone to sell their shares, is Yang Chen's true purpose.

  'Private is insane', thinking of the delisting of Kowloon Bus from the stock exchange before, everyone did not doubt what Yang Chen said.

   However, no one thought that Yang Chen would privatize a company with a market value of several billions in this way, which is simply blinding everyone's eyes.

   After Yang Chen finished speaking, Huo Jianxuan clapped his hands, and Junzi and Tietou put the contracts in front of the directors and shareholders.

   "Directors and shareholders, if any of you are willing to sell your shares, you can sign your name on the contract."

   Everyone picked up the contract and flipped through it. They looked at each other one by one, and they all saw a hint of surprise in each other's eyes.

  No wonder everyone was surprised, just because their respective contracts corresponded to the shares they held, not much, not much.

   This is the result of Yang Chen, through the representative of HSBC, to know their details.

   didn't make Yang Chen wait long. Among them, the two shareholders who were relatively close to Yang Chen, after bowing their heads and whispering to each other for a while, asked Yang Chen, "Yang Sheng, I don't know when we can receive this money?"

   Yang Chen smiled and said, "Boss Wu, as long as you sign, I can immediately sign a cash check for you, and you can withdraw it at any time at HSBC."

   Boss Wu in Yang Chen's mouth, in fact, Huo Jianxuan had been in contact with him long ago, just for now, so that the other party can start first.

   As for why Boss Wu is willing to sell the Hang Seng stocks in his hand, the main reason is that the Hang Seng Index plummeted before, and now he is in desperate need of funds, so he has to sell the shares in his hand.

   The other party doesn’t have a lot of shares, just a little more than a percent, which is less than 50 million Hong Kong dollars.

   After receiving Yang Chen's reply, the two picked up the pens on the table and directly signed their names on the contract.

   After signing the contract between the two, Huo Jianhu stepped forward to collect the contract, and then Yang Chen wrote two cash cheques of nearly 100 million to the two.

   After the two got the check, they got up and left the conference room.

   The departure of the two seems to have taken the lead, and then from time to time, shareholders will sign their names on the contract, take the cash check from Yang Chen and leave.

   In less than ten minutes, more than fifteen shareholders left, and the entire conference room was suddenly reduced by more than half, and the vacancies were very dazzling.

   Seeing that the rest of the shareholders were silent, Yang Chen ignored these people, looked at He Shanheng opposite, and said, "He Dong, I don't know if the shares in your old man's hands are willing to sell?"

  He Shanheng raised his brows and said, "How much is Yang Sheng going to pay to buy my Hang Seng shares?"

  Yang Chen: "How much do you think is suitable, as long as the younger generation thinks it's okay, never bargain."

  He Shanheng: "What if I don't want to sell it?"

Yang Chen spread his hands and said with a wry smile: "He Dong, why should you embarrass the old man, the younger generation really wants to take Hang Seng through this difficult time, Hang Seng Bank is the first bank of Chinese in Hong Kong, and now it is back in the hands of the younger generation, isn't it? Isn't this what Director He wants to see?"

   He Shanheng heard the words, along with He Xin and Li Guowei who were on him, suddenly fell silent.

  In the 1965 banking crisis, Hang Seng sold to HSBC, which prevented it from closing down.

   To lose the controlling stake of Hang Seng Bank, making it a subsidiary bank of HSBC, this is the saddest and most helpless decision for people such as He Shanheng, He Xin and Li Guowei since they have been running Hang Seng for many years.

  Fortunately, after HSBC joined Hang Seng, it retained the color of Hang Seng's Chinese-funded bank. Except for only sending four directors to the Hang Seng Board of Directors, the three positions remained unchanged, and they still took care of Hang Seng Bank's affairs.

   It's just that this subtle subordination has made the three of them extremely sensitive to rights.

  The former first Chinese company worked for a British-funded consortium and a subsidiary company of the other party.

   Now that Hang Seng Bank is back in their own hands, it stands to reason that they should be happy, but the sensitivity to rights developed over many years makes them unhappy no matter what.

Seeing that the old man was still silent, Yang Chen immediately revealed his bottom line, "If you, Director He, are willing to sell the shares of Hang Seng Bank, I can continue to let Mr. He Yu be the general manager for the position of vice chairman of Hang Seng. , Mr. Li Guowei can still continue to serve."

   "Are you sure you're not trying to make me happy?" He Shanheng heard this, a little surprised, his expression was very moving, he didn't expect Yang Chen to compromise to this point.

   "How do you always feel?" Yang Chen shrugged.

   Anyway, from his point of view, He Xin, like He Shanheng, are both getting old, and it is almost time to retire after working for a few more years at most.

As for Li Guowei, Yang Chen really wants him to stay. The other party is different from He Shanheng and He Ning, who are the founders of Hang Seng. To put it mildly, he is a senior working man, working with the later generations Yuan Tianfan and other working emperors. Same.

   There are not many capable and experienced people around him. Although Huo Jianxuan, Yuan Tianfan and Zheng Hiquan are good, their qualifications are still a little short, and they still need time to practice.

  Hang Seng is left to Li Guowei to take care of, he doesn't have to worry too much.

   Move your mouth on the top, and break your legs when you run below.

   Before Zheng Hiquan and Yuan Tianfan can really be on their own, Li Guowei is a good substitute.

An old house where a treasure.

  If Li Guowei stays in Hang Seng Bank, he will be Hang Seng's Dinghaishenzhen.

   After all, He Shanheng and others have been managing Hang Seng Bank for decades, and several people have been promoted at Hang Seng. It is definitely not an easy task to eliminate this influence in a short period of time.

  ——

   Thank you MING for your reward and support, and serve tea to the boss.
