HKTV: How is the Great Owl made?

How could Lin Yao take the promise of the foreigners seriously?

But now Johnson has announced in front of all the reporters in Hong Kong that Tianyao Group has obtained the right to develop Saigon.

Then he has gained a great initiative!

As for the next move of the foreigners, Lin Yao also knows it in his mind. Fengtang is not a decoration, but the existence of the strongest intelligence organization in Hong Kong!

According to the intelligence, the foreigners will never give up and will counterattack more crazily.

Including picking bones in the development plan of Tianyao Group and shorting Tianyao Group.

Even the Zhengzhi Department should also take action.

Of course, the foreigners have soft knives.

Through the Saigon development, the foreigners have almost put all their energy on themselves.

Anyway, the full-scale competition with the foreigners has just begun!

Jardine Matheson, Lin Yao decided to cut off its source of funds.

The target is the core of Jardine Matheson, acquiring Standard Chartered Bank!

As long as it is a large consortium, the core is the bank.

Just like JPMorgan Chase and Morgan Consortium, Rockefeller Consortium relies on Manhattan Bank.

Every international consortium has a large bank as its support.

Tianyao Group also needs such a top international bank as its support.

Standard Chartered Bank has the right to issue banknotes in Hong Kong Island, and has financial systems in major economic regions around the world.

Acquiring Standard Chartered Bank will not only benefit the expansion of Tianyao Group, but also deal a fatal blow to Jardine Matheson and Swire.

On the way back, Lin Yao received a call from Zhang Linwei.

"Brother Yao, Jimmy has come to Pengcheng to replace me. I contacted the Rockefeller Foundation as you instructed."

"The Rockefeller Foundation said that from hostility to partnership in Nanyang, old Rockefeller is very happy and hopes to cooperate with you again in Hong Kong Island."

"In half a month, Davis and Rockefeller will come to Hong Kong Island again to meet with you to discuss in-depth cooperation in Hong Kong Island."

After the oil mining in Malacca Prok Island, Lin Yao showed strong muscles and strategic flexibility.

The Rockefeller family has clearly realized Lin Yao's influence in Asia.

The muscle that Lin Yao showed was that he could fight against Malacca by land, sea and air and win!

The flexibility he showed was that he made the world's top five oil companies cooperate with Tianyao Oil Company.

Reasonable, beneficial and moderate!

Do things in moderation, so that the Malacca government will be afraid to act rashly.

Use both soft and hard tactics, softer and harder.

This is the strategic vision of an entrepreneur with a global vision!

To gain benefits in Asia, it is best to cooperate with Lin Yao, not to confront him.

Capitalists pursue profits in their bones!

Isn't it a waste if you don't use it yourself? !

Using barbarians to control barbarians has always been a four-two-pound move!

Borrowing strength to fight strength, and throwing it away after use has always been Lin Yao's rule of doing things!

The M-country consortium, that is Lin Yao's final goal.

Now, of course, if you can use it, you must use it.

"Linwei, tell Davis that I welcome him to come to Hong Kong Island to meet me again."

"To show my sincerity in cooperating with the Rockefeller Foundation, I will announce this news in major media in Hong Kong Island."

Lin Yao said with a smile.

Zhang Linwei understood immediately and said, "Okay, Brother Yao, I'll tell him right away."

"Linwei, don't rush to the Maple Leaf Country during this period. Return to Hong Kong Island. I have something very important for you to do."

"Brother Yao, what is it?" Zhang Linwei asked curiously.

"I want you to get me a Standard Chartered Bank investigation report in the shortest possible time." Lin Yao said with a smile.

"Ah, this? Brother Yao, what are you doing?" Zhang Linwei was shocked.

"Just as you thought, yes, I want to take down Standard Chartered Bank!" Lin Yao said lightly.

Zhang Linwei took a deep breath and nodded on the other end of the phone:

"Okay, Brother Yao."

"From now on, I will do my best to collect all the information about Standard Chartered Bank. I will go back immediately!"

...

Just as Lin Yao expected.

After Tianyao Group obtained the development rights of Saigon, all kinds of interference from the foreigners followed.

What confused Peng Modai and Johnson was that this time Lin Yao did not mobilize the people of Saigon to protest collectively, but remained silent!

The more Lin Yao held back, the more Batistuta, Li Bancheng, and Schmidt felt strange, and even a little scared.

Chairman's office.

"Brother Yao, Phillips, the chief reporter of the New York Times in Hong Kong, wants to do an exclusive interview with you, you see..."

Yun Piaopiao opened the folder, sat on Lin Yao's lap, and reported today's events one by one.

"Rejected, such interviews will be rejected in the future," Lin Yao refused directly.

Yun Piaopiao nodded, she knew this would be the result

In the past year, even if "Times" wanted to interview Lin Yao, and even put Lin Yao on the cover.

But Lin Yao was unmoved, he didn't have that vanity at all.

There was no way, his boss was really too low-key.

According to the latest issue of Fortune magazine, excluding the rich list, Lin Yao has a net worth of 12.3 billion US dollars.

Ranked first in Asia and 23rd in the world.

Moreover, he is not even 23 years old this year, and his wealth is completely self-made. This adds to his legendary nature.

I have to know that this kind of wealth ranking is just a gimmick and does not represent real wealth at all.

Just like Lin Yao, he himself is not very clear about his current real wealth.

Because he has too many fixed assets and too much investment, the wealth produced every day is difficult to calculate.

Therefore, Lin Yao had no interest at all in doing an exclusive interview. It was a complete waste of time.

At the same time, Lin Yao was also thinking about how to hide his true wealth.

Which of the top international financial groups such as JPMorgan Chase, Rockefeller and DuPont is not worth hundreds of billions?

But the wealth they reveal is only more than 30 billion at most.

Only they themselves know how much wealth is hidden secretly.

Zhan Mi and Zhang Linwei also gave Lin Yao some advice in this regard, which was to use offshore companies and international venture capital companies.

Cross-shareholding of the assets currently owned by Lin Yao.

The world's top financial groups are doing this now, and they have been doing this for a long time.

These top consortiums use layers of intertwined equity to hide their huge wealth.

Those offshore companies are extremely confidential.

Investigators like Fortune magazine and Forbes rankings will never be able to investigate the real controllers behind these offshore companies.

Lin Yao decided to let Zhang Linwei do this operation starting from next month.

He sold part of his equity to offshore venture capital companies to hide his huge wealth.

Fortune Lin Yao will still maintain absolute control as chairman of Tianyao Group.

Those representatives from offshore venture capital firms will only act as white gloves.

Behind the scenes, Lin Yao will be controlled by layers of holdings.

These overseas wealth will play a huge role in my next investment in Europe and the United States.

On Lin Yao's lap, Yun Piaopiao continued to report.

This is what she does every day.

Lin Yao drank Keemun black tea, sipped Cuban cigars, and pinched Yun Piaopiao's beautiful chin from time to time.

When she was asked to report, her voice was a little distorted.

"The Charter King invites you to have afternoon tea at Lu Yu Tea House in Tsim Sha Tsui at two o'clock in the afternoon to discuss the matter of Standard Chartered Bank."

"It's Zheng Yutong's youngest son's wedding in three days. Chairman Zheng has already sent you an invitation."

"Gao Jin called today to report that the Tianyao Group's South Korea headquarters, um... the women's team there has almost finished training.

"Gao Jian has to ask you to guide me to determine the specific quota. In addition, you also have to decide the name of the girl group, Brother Yao, in person."

Lin Yao now has to deal with the challenge from Gui Lao and has no time to go to South Korea in the short term.

I will consider it after this stall is finished.

As for naming the girl group, Lin Yao had already thought of it, so they called it the "Happy Fish" girl group.

Lin Yao is now a veritable chaebol.

Watching these long-legged girls dance when you have nothing to do is a kind of relaxation.

Two o'clock in the afternoon.

Lin Yao was invited to Lu Yu Teahouse.

The charter king owns 7% of Standard Chartered Bank shares, and both of them are old friends.

When he heard that Lin Yao wanted to acquire Charter King, he made a friendly offer.

The chartering king has been working hard in the business world for many years. Considering the current conflicts between Lin Yao and Yingzi Group and the Hong Kong Governor's Office, he can guess what Lin Yao is going to do.

Deep down, I had no choice but to admire the courage of this young man.

This is to single-handedly conquer the entire British political and economic conglomerate!

Including some scattered Standard Chartered Bank shares previously acquired by Tianyao Group, Lin Yao now has 9.3% of the shares.

For Standard Chartered Bank, Lin Yao is already considered a major shareholder.

The parent company of Standard Chartered Bank is Standard Chartered Group of Great Britain.

But Standard Chartered has been established for 112 years.

Because it took so long, the equity was very dispersed.

Standard Chartered Group is the bank's largest shareholder, with the chairman of the board owning 36% of the shares.

In addition, 20% of the shares are in the hands of many small shareholders.

Only 44% of Standard Chartered Bank shares are circulating in the market.

Three days later, Lin Yao received Zhang Linwei's report.

"Brother Yao, we have established more than 300 secret accounts in London, Nuoyue, and Dongjing to purchase stocks of Zhazha Bank.

Now Standard Chartered's share price has risen significantly.

After Lin Yao heard Zhang Linwei's report, he knew that it was unlikely to make such a secret acquisition again.

Because such a large stock price fluctuation will definitely attract the attention of the headquarters of Standard Chartered Group of Great Britain.

"Linwei, stop first, don't disturb the other party."

Lin Yao instructed.

Once Standard Chartered is alerted, they will know that someone is maliciously acquiring their bank shares.

At that point, things get trickier.

Lin Yao has no idea now and goes directly to the Standard Chartered Group to acquire it.

Because Standard Chartered Bank is the core asset of Standard Chartered Group.

According to Lin Yao's past life memories, Standard Chartered Group chose to fight fiercely when faced with a hostile takeover by Leamingston Bank.

In the end, Standard Chartered Group retained its shares in Standard Chartered Bank with the help of the charter king.

If Lin Yao wants to completely drain Jardine Matheson, he must acquire Standard Chartered Bank.

But the current reality is that efforts can only be made from other small shareholders and the stock market.

"Linwei, please stop here first. I have already arranged it. Wait for my order and we will act together when the time comes!"

Lin Yao said calmly to Zhang Linwei on the other side of the phone.

Zhang Linwei nodded lightly: "Yes, Brother Yao."

…

Two days later.

There is a piece of news circulating on the London stock market in Great Britain.

"Standard Chartered Bank suffered a large number of bad debts due to serious management mistakes."

"The main reason is that the group owes 7.2 billion in foreign debt due to failed investment. At this time, it is preparing to transfer the 7.2 billion in foreign debt to Standard Chartered Bank through internal operations!"

As soon as this news came out, it immediately attracted strong attention from the investment community.

In particular, those shareholders of Standard Chartered Bank stocks were very uneasy and sought confirmation through various reliable or unreliable information channels.

The PR department went on TV to clarify that this was a real rumor and they would take legal action immediately.

But even so, investors holding Standard Chartered Bank shares are still worried.

Two days later, Standard Chartered's stock began to plummet.

Investors finally couldn't stand it any longer and began to sell their stocks.

The invisible hand of the market is more effective than the mouth of the public relations department of Standard Chartered Group.

The more investors sell their Standard Chartered shares, the faster and crazier the big bank's stocks fall.

This suddenly shocked the senior management of Standard Chartered Group.

Standard Chartered Group Headquarters.

President Cohen asked his secretary, Krone, angrily:

"Have you found out?"

"Where did the rumors come from? We must take stronger legal action."

Crown looked confused and said: "Mr. President, we have checked and no formal media has reported this rumor."

"Rumors are only spreading among investors, so it is difficult to find out where the source is."

As soon as Kroun finished speaking, another vice president said:

"What we have to do now is to stabilize the stock price. We have already received calls from more than a dozen shareholders to inquire."

Cohen thought for a while and said: "The Public Relations Department and the Legal Department will jointly issue an announcement stating that this news is completely false. Standard Chartered Group has abundant funds and does not have any bad debts."

"We will also start the share repurchase process to stabilize the stock price."

Crown said: "Mr. President, our group has very little liquidity now, only about US$1.5 billion."

"If we buy it back at the market price, we may not be able to do it."

Cohen held a cigar between his lips, shook his head and said:

"It doesn't require too much money. We have enough funds on hand now. We only need a symbolic repurchase to stop the decline and rebound."

Standard Chartered has 44% of its shares floating on the stock market, worth more than $4 billion.

Standard Chartered Group simply cannot afford so much money at once.

But as long as a few hundred million dollars are spent to buy back the shares at a fair price, the market panic can be alleviated to a great extent.

This is also the basic practice of crisis management for listed companies.

"Crown, this matter must be investigated!"

"Use all available power to dig out the mastermind behind the hostile takeover. This time someone will definitely be ruthless against our Standard Chartered Group."

Because the rumors circulating in the market are well-founded and highly credible.

Because Standard Chartered Group did make investment mistakes during this period and lost a lot.

This information was deliberately concealed by Standard Chartered Group.

Now that it has been exposed, the impact will be extremely bad. As the president of Standard Chartered Group, Cohen is very angry.

"Yes, Mr. President, I'll do it right away!" Croun nodded. (End of chapter)
