Around the acquisition war of Standard Chartered Bank, ghost guys have tried their best, and Gao Xian naturally has to plan strategies.

However, sir Gao, the president of the Xiangjiang exchange fund authority, who is behind the scenes, still wants to do enough to keep his face above the business community. His meetings with Qiu debar and Bao Yugang were in private and did not participate in any meeting on the acquisition of Standard Chartered Bank, which was advised by financial advisers Gao Yi and Morgan Jianfu.

From the perspective of Qiu deba and Bao Yugang, the acquisition war of Standard Chartered Bank, which belongs to the protection of Standard Chartered Bank Group, has nothing to spend and play. It is just to fight for financial resources. Up to now, it is a decisive stage, and the financial resources used, in Hong Kong dollars, exceed 10 billion.

Robert houm, an Australian businessman who is a bit of a handful, has dared not follow up. Anyway, his shareholding ratio has reached 5%, which can be regarded as the completion of the respective goals of the three consortia.

This situation really can't blame Robert houm for being conservative. No matter who does business, there is an upper limit for taking risks. Lloyds Bank launched a malicious acquisition of Standard Chartered Bank. In addition to the driving force Lloyds Bank wants to drive its own development through the acquisition, it can't be denied that there are problems in the current operation of Standard Chartered Bank, which gives coveters an opportunity.

For example, the business of Standard Chartered Bank in South Africa has been subject to international sanctions because of the black-and-white problem. The negative impact has become more and more obvious in recent years.

Therefore, Robert houm must consider that the capital cost of acquiring Standard Chartered Bank is so high that he has to tear down east walls to make up for west walls. What if Standard Chartered Bank finds that the return is not ideal?

Gao Xian didn't care about Robert houm's careful thinking. Originally, Qiu deba's joining Robert houm was the momentum of the consortium of Zhuang Daxing Jiapo, Xiangjiang and Australia. Qiu deba and Bao Yu were the main force just now. The former's goal was to acquire about 20% of the shares of Standard Chartered Bank, and the latter's goal was to acquire about 15% of the shares of Standard Chartered Bank.

After the objectives of the three consortia are achieved, it can ensure that Standard Chartered Bank will not be acquired by Lloyds Bank and continue to operate independently, that is, the White Knight's plan to save Standard Chartered Bank has been successful.

Qiu deba and Bao Yugang have no objection to continuing to increase investment and complete the first battle, because their close relationship with Gao's consortium is there, especially Sir Gao.

Take Qiu deba for example. If Sir Gao hadn't done it, his eldest son Qiu bank would still be locked up in Brunei. Now the Qiu family's troubles in Brunei have been completely reconciled privately, and the funds needed come from the income earned from the business opportunities brought by the Plaza Agreement with Sir Gao; Now, following Sir Gao's long planned acquisition of Standard Chartered Bank, it is of course necessary to fight to the end and revitalize Qiu's banking business at the same time.

Bao Yugang's situation is similar to that of Qiu deba. He has made amazing profits by cooperating with Sir Gao and Gao's consortium. He has the opportunity to regain his feelings of working in the banking industry when he was young. Of course, he has actively participated. Moreover, he has always been a Shanghai style style in commercial acquisitions, opening up and closing down and spending a lot of money.

In addition, Bao Yugang has one more motivation than Qiu deba, that is, he has repeatedly hit a wall in the dispute between Dragonair and Cathay Pacific Airlines, which has damaged his prestige. It is inevitable that he has a stomach fire and wants to find the market through the acquisition of Standard Chartered Bank.

Since Gao Xian, Qiu deba and Bao Yugang are like-minded in their determination to win Standard Chartered Bank, it is rare for them to sit together in a low-key meeting. They will certainly not waste too much energy for how much more money, but look forward to the situation after they get the controlling stake of Standard Chartered Bank.

Qiu deba and Bao Yugang mentioned in the conversation that Anthony barber, chairman of the board of directors of Standard Chartered Bank Group, and Michael McWilliam, chief executive of Standard Chartered Bank Group, had met several times. They welcomed the emergence of white warriors to defend Standard Chartered Bank, but they welcomed the distribution of power in standard Chartered Bank Group after repelling the malicious acquisition of Lloyd's Bank, But he kept laughing.

"We have made such great efforts to defend Standard Chartered Bank. With such a large shareholding ratio, we must share the management right of Standard Chartered Bank." Bao Yugang analyzed: "Anthony barber and Michael McWilliam are not authentic!"

Qiu deba also feels the same. Those guys at the London headquarters of Standard Chartered Bank may have the wishful thinking of calling silly boys. Once Standard Chartered Bank turns the corner, they want to cross the river and tear down the bridge. We must be ready for the next struggle for corporate governance.

Gao Xian smiled. In this battle to defend Standard Chartered Bank, the white knife went in and the red knife came out. The blade could be Lloyd's bank or those ungrateful ghosts at the London headquarters of Standard Chartered Bank.

Hearing the murderous spirit in Sir Gao's words, Qiu deba and Bao Yugang are relieved. What we need now is to work together and move forward bravely!

"After we officially enter the board of directors, what strategy should we implement?" Bao Yugang thought and asked.

Gao Xian said leisurely, "in my opinion, the network of Standard Chartered Bank Group in Asia and Africa is of great long-term value, but the current practical value can not be ignored, otherwise more than 10 billion white warriors can not be guaranteed to be worth their money."

"I have an idea. Although Xiangjiang market is the most important business support of Standard Chartered Bank Group, Standard Chartered Bank Group has never officially established standard chartered Xiangjiang bank in Xiangjiang."

Bao Yugang suddenly became clear in front of him. Yes, it is normal to make the business of Standard Chartered Bank Group in Xiangjiang independent and become a subsidiary. However, we have home interests in Xiangjiang, which is enough to really master Standard Chartered Xiangjiang bank.

Qiu deba's thinking is also clear. Indeed, Xiangjiang business can be called the soul asset of Standard Chartered Bank Group. If we control this piece, we will not lose money.

……

High chord, Qiu Deba and Bao Yugang are not the heart of a gentleman. When Jeremy Morse, chairman of the board of directors of Lloyd bank, announced that he had abandoned the acquisition of Standard Chartered Bank, the three consortia from Singapore, Singapore and Australia were defending the Standard Chartered Bank.

Originally, Qiu debar, Bao Yugang and Robert houm enjoyed the joy of winning a complete victory at the board of directors of Standard Chartered Bank. They were in a good mood. In a cold and untiring manner, Anthony barber, chairman of the board of directors of Standard Chartered Bank Group, put forward a proposal. The reason why Standard Chartered Bank Group was targeted by Lloyd's Bank this time, there was indeed an emptiness in itself, Therefore, we need to conduct a stock raising to solve those problems.

There are many kinds of capital playing methods, such as rights issue, allotment, bonus and conversion, and they may be called differently in different markets, so it is necessary to explain a little.

Anthony barber wants to engage in stock raising, which is the way to play in the stock market of Britain and Xiangjiang. In short, he issues new shares to shareholders according to the shareholding ratio, and shareholders pay cash for new shares when they accept the offer. If they do not accept the offer, their equity will be diluted. For example, they have engaged in stock raising after annexing Yihe land.

This kind of play is unkind to major shareholders and small and medium-sized shareholders.

Because the major shareholders can lower the stock price by continuously selling shares, and then raise funds at the low stock price. The major shareholders sell the cash out of shares to participate in the stock supply, so as to get back more shares. The equity of many small and medium-sized shareholders who do not participate in the stock supply and fund-raising is diluted.

If we intensify our efforts, the major shareholders will then sell their shares, and then the share price will fall again and issue shares again. If the share price is too low, we will join hands, operate repeatedly and cut leeks openly.

In the "old script", the rapid rise of Liu Daxiang is a typical example, and even Li Bancheng is an expert. For example, he raised more than HK $10 billion for shares before the "Black Monday" global stock disaster, but he was well packaged and didn't feel so ugly.

As the saying goes, simple people think that business tycoons have been doing business diligently. In fact, people's business is bigger and depends on the capital game.

Obviously, Anthony barber's proposal to raise funds for shares is not to cut the leeks of minority shareholders, but to dilute the equity of new major shareholders such as Qiu deba and Bao Yugang.

Qiu deba glanced at the tentative rights issue ratio on the document and suddenly turned blue. At present, he is the largest shareholder of Standard Chartered Bank and holds about 20% of the shares of Standard Chartered Bank. According to the rights issue and fund-raising plan, he has to take out almost another 100 million pounds in cash.

Bao Yugang's face was not good-looking. He said in a deep voice: "I think that after this robbery, Standard Chartered Bank Group should first reflect on itself and start from optimizing the group structure, such as the formal establishment of Standard Chartered Xiangjiang bank, so that it can more flexibly adapt to the rapid market changes of Xiangjiang, an international financial center."

On hearing this, Anthony barber, Michael McWilliam and other ghost guys frowned immediately. It seems that they are prepared.

Robert houm is in the fixed state of eye view nose. Although he holds 5% of the Standard Chartered Bank shares, the absolute number is not small, but the cash pressure on the fund-raising of stock is far less than that of qiudebao and baoyugang. He may find out what is missing if he takes a tiger fight first.

Michael McWilliam turned his eyes and cunningly proposed to solve the capital problem first, and then optimize the group structure.

This seems to accept Bao Yugang's suggestion, but in fact, we should first focus on the checks and balances of the equity structure.

Qiu deba is sure to hold a group with Bao Yugang. Stock rights and fund-raising involve a wide range. We should start with optimizing internal operation.

Michael McWilliam is eloquent. You don't know the situation of Standard Chartered Bank Group. The capital problem is the primary problem.

Qiu deba and Bao Yugang were really a little passive as soon as such old qualifications were put out.

Robert Holm, who had been silent, quickly said, "why don't you think about both schemes carefully and wait for the next board meeting to make a decision."
