Rebirth of Hong Kong 1981

   Chapter 533 Honorary Chairman

meeting room

   In the meeting room of the Hang Seng Bank shareholders' meeting, more than 20 directors, shareholders and shareholders' representatives remained silent after a discussion.

  He Shanheng sat in the first place, with no joy, anger or sorrow on his face, but he couldn't help being angry in his heart.

   Sure enough, people take tea to cool, and the truth remains unchanged through the ages.

   Before he left, the faces of the directors and shareholders changed, and they lost the enthusiasm of the past. No matter how hard his mouth was, few echoed.

   In addition to He Shanheng, there were two other people present with ugly expressions, that is, He Xin, Vice Chairman of Hang Seng Bank, and Li Guowei, General Manager.

   No matter how ugly the faces of the three people are, the directors and shareholders pretend not to see it. For them, it is the same who is in charge of Hang Seng Bank, because the decision-making power is not in the hands of their small shareholders.

   Now that the major shareholder of Hang Seng Bank has changed, then where Hang Seng Bank should go, it is no longer up to the three of He Shanheng to decide. They do not need to offend the future new owner of Hang Seng Bank for the three of them.

  The thoughts of the shareholders are very simple. Regardless of whether they are shareholders of Hang Seng or not, the new boss of Hang Seng Bank is not something they can offend, nor can they compete with.

   They can sit here, and their identities are naturally not comparable to those of retail investors. Each director and shareholder has their own information channels. Before the new major shareholder comes, it is impossible for them to express their opinions casually.

   It is possible to obtain the controlling stake of Hang Seng Bank from HSBC. Such a person does not say whether HSBC has the backing or not. The giant Hang Seng Bank alone is not something they can provoke.

   As for the reason

   is simple

   The properties of many shareholders are more or less related to Hang Seng Bank. This kind of internal power struggle, they just look at it, and there is no need to get involved.

  Otherwise, we don’t know how he died in the end.

  ‘click’ the door of the conference room was opened from the outside.

   Everyone looked at the door in unison, and when they saw Yang Chen's figure appear, everyone's eyes lit up.

   Entering the conference room, Yang Chen glanced at the people in the conference room, then cupped his hands, and said, "Everyone, I'm sorry, I'm late."

  Under the surprised eyes of everyone, Yang Chen walked straight in front of He Shanheng, and bent slightly.

   Without waiting for Yang Chen to speak, He Shanheng immediately got up from his position, "Yang Sheng, what are you doing?"

  Yang Chen smiled and said, "Hello Dong He, when Uncle Xue came here, he greeted an old man like you."

   "Your old man?" He Shanheng was slightly taken aback.

   "Yes" Yang Chen nodded slightly.

   Two days ago, Father Xue deliberately talked to him for a while after he heard the news of his acquisition of Hang Seng Bank. The reason was to let him pay attention not to embarrass He Shanheng.

   In the early years, when Father Xue founded the Xue family business, he also received a favor from He Shanheng. He said it was a favor, but it is not necessarily true. The main business of the bank is deposits and lending.

   But, in the Chinese concept, if you lend me money, no matter who it is or how it is borrowed, it is all human, the difference is only the thick and the shallow.

   Father Xue, who knew Yang Chen's character, specially called Yang Chen to the house for this reason, and solemnly instructed him again.

  Hang Seng Bank has been based in Hong Kong for decades, and I don't know how many people it has helped. Once Yang Chen and He Shan are in a bad relationship, there will only be disadvantages and no advantages.

   After chatting with Yang Chen for a few words, He Shanheng couldn't help sighing in his heart, looking at the young man in front of him who was a little too much, He Shanheng didn't know how to deal with it next.

   People gave him enough face as soon as he came, and the younger generation showed a full attitude. He is a man in his 80s. If Yang Chen returns empty-handed today, it will be hard to say how it will be spread outside.

After all, Yang Chen holds 51% of the shares of Hang Seng Bank, and He Shanheng has reached the age of retirement. Although Hang Seng Bank was founded by a few of their old guys, in this capital society, Who cares about this.

  He Shanheng: "Yang Sheng, let's sit down and talk first."

   Yang Chen heard the words, nodded, and went straight to the opposite side of the long table to sit down.

   Without Yang Chen's instructions, Huo Jianxuan, who had been by his side, distributed copies of the printed materials to the directors and shareholders.

   After the directors and shareholders got the information, they didn't say much.

   Originally, HSBC had a total of four representatives in Hang Seng Bank, but three left a few days ago, leaving only one shareholder representative who remained to exercise shareholder rights on behalf of HSBC.

  The shareholder representative of HSBC saw the transfer contract that Yang Chen took out, and nodded to everyone with a smile. He had already received a call from the Taipan King, and asked him to support Yang Chen no matter what decision he made today.

   Seeing this, all the directors and shareholders suddenly fell silent. Although everyone was psychologically prepared, they were still hit a lot.

Yang Chen smiled and said, "Director He, I heard that your old man is ready to retire, and the younger generation is not talented. As a major shareholder, he proposed that Director He be the permanent honorary chairman of Hang Seng Bank. In the future, as long as Hang Seng Bank is still there for one day, Director He will be One day he was also the honorary chairman of Hang Seng Bank.”

  “…”

   When everyone heard Yang Chen's proposal, they looked at each other for a while, "Permanent Honorary Chairman", this title is not too important or too light.

   However, when He Shanheng heard Yang Chen's proposal, he couldn't help but be moved. The permanent honorary chairman, although only in name, also acknowledged his contribution to Hang Seng Bank.

   won the name before and after life, the ancients were like this, He Shanheng was not exempt from the common.

   Seeing that everyone didn't speak, Yang Chen grinned and said, "Every shareholder and representative, I don't know what my proposal is. Do you agree or disagree?"

   When Yang Chen spoke, he deliberately glanced at the representative of HSBC.

   The representative of HSBC saw this, and without waiting for the other shareholders to speak, he took the lead and said, "I support Yang Sheng's proposal."

   was started by a representative of HSBC, and everyone was no longer silent and expressed their approval.

   And He Shanheng didn't interrupt from beginning to end, and even He Xin and Li Guowei who were beside him were silent.

   Although the two knew that once He Shanheng took over the title of honorary chairman, he would have to give up the position of chairman, but He Shanheng didn't speak, so how could they stop it.

  Whether it is He Shanheng, He Xin, or Li Guowei, he knows very well that the position of chairman of Hang Seng Bank cannot be preserved today no matter what.

   Since Yang Chen didn't meet He Shanheng privately beforehand, the other party is obviously determined to win the position of chairman.

  In this way, even if they have the intention to stop it, it is useless at all, because Yang Chen holds 51% of Hang Seng Bank's shares, and he has the right to make all decisions of Hang Seng Bank.
