PS: PS: I would like to thank my book friends for the Blood Stone of Blood Killing. I just randomly wrote (two) monthly tickets. Thanks to my book friends for their continued rewards. Please give me monthly tickets and recommendation votes!

The two of them looked at the ancient city of Pingchuan under the sunshine not far away.

"Fang, those stocks of Japan's Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Group are in the hands of your Japanese companies, right?" Patriarch Welf said suddenly.

"Your Excellency, the Patriarch, is indeed very discerning!" Fang Mingyuan nodded slightly without any surprise, as if he had already known that Patriarch Welf would say this.

A look of admiration flashed in Patriarch Welf's eyes. Fang Mingyuan's calm ability and mentality are not something that everyone can possess. Over the years, I don't know how many people have been affected by his sudden appearance.

Once you ask, you can no longer hide your inner secret.

"Fang, why do you plan to transfer the shares of Japan's Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Group?" Patriarch Welf asked again. In his view, Japan's Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Group is the second largest commercial bank in Japan and one of the top ten commercial banks in the world.

, the annual income its shares can earn is quite astonishing. Why Fang Mingyuan would abandon such a blue chip stock made him a little puzzled.

"The reason is very simple. First, Japanese society has become significantly right-wing in recent years, and the behavior of government heads visiting the Yasukuni Shrine has become increasingly rampant. As the second largest commercial bank in Japan, Japan's Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Group can be said to control many Japanese companies.

, the company's economic lifeline, the Japanese government and the Mitsui Foundation and Sumitomo Foundation will not allow me, a Chinese, to hold so many shares of the Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Group. Rather than waiting for them to try their best to ask me to sell my shares, it is better to simply

If you sell it to someone who is interested now, you can still sell it at a good price." Fang Mingyuan said bluntly.

If Patriarch Welf realizes the changes in the Japanese government in recent years, as a European, he naturally does not have as deep a feeling as Fang Mingyuan, but he can understand Fang Mingyuan's choice. This is like the situation between Germany and the United Kingdom back then.

If the relationship between the two is bad, German capital is also restricted in the UK, so it is better to simply sell it at a better price.

"Second, our Fang family needs to launch several projects in China, which requires a large amount of funds. The sale of shares in Japan's Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Group is also to ease the tight domestic funds situation." Fang Mingyuan said, "Chief Welf

.How about it? Is HSBC Holdings Pte. Ltd. interested? If not, I can contact other banks."

"I'm going to say that HSBC Holdings Co., Ltd. has no interest in Japan's Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Group's shares. Fang, do you believe it?" Chief Welf said with a genuine smile.

"I don't believe it!" Fang Mingyuan said calmly and authentically. HSBC Holdings Co., Ltd., in the next few years, acquired a large number of banks around the world, making it the third largest bank in the world. Japan's Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Group's shares

, is not only a springboard for HSBC Holdings Co., Ltd. to enter the Japanese financial market, but also a stepping stone for HSBC Holdings Co., Ltd. to improve its status in the international financial industry. More importantly, Japan's Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Group's shares, HSBC Holdings Co., Ltd.

It is not difficult to acquire a share, but it is not so easy to increase it by one percent. Everyone is still very optimistic about the future prospects of Japan's Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Group. And Fang Mingyuan took out nearly 6% in one breath. How?

Can it not make HSBC Holdings Co., Ltd. covet it?

"Okay, Fang, what do you want?" Patriarch Welf turned around, looked directly at Fang Mingyuan and said, "Money? Shares in the company? Or something else?"

"Share of the company?" Fang Mingyuan looked back at Patriarch Welf's eyes without showing any signs of weakness. "Isn't the board of directors of HSBC Holdings Co., Ltd. worried that I will continue to get bigger?" Nearly 6% of the shares of Japan's Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Group.

It is very possible to exchange for 4% to 5% of the shares of HSBC Holdings PLC. If this is the case, the shares of HSBC Holdings PLC in your hands may be close to 10%! This amount is quite astonishing.

Patriarch Welf nodded and said: "You are right. Choosing the company's shares may be more troublesome. There are still many people on the board of directors who are opposed to your joining HSBC Holdings Co., Ltd., and they even want to take your hands.

The shares of those companies were also acquired together." We are all smart people. There is no point in hiding some words, so it is better to say them openly and honestly.

"Acquired together? How much money did they prepare?" Fang Mingyuan chuckled. This result did not surprise him. The Second Gulf Bank is now competing with HSBC Holdings Co., Ltd., and some people on the board of directors of HSBC Holdings Co., Ltd.

I don't have a good face. It's perfectly normal.

"This is just the idea of ​​some people. There are also some people who welcome you to join the board of directors of HSBC Holdings Co., Ltd." Chief Welf said with a smile, "As of now, there is no final conclusion on this issue."

"So, patriarch, where do you stand?" Fang Mingyuan asked.

"Me?" Patriarch Welf glanced at Angelina not far away, squatted down, grabbed a piece of grass from the roadside, played with it in his hand and said, "The position of our Welf family is,

Welcome friends, block enemies!"

Fang Mingyuan chuckled and said: "So you mean, I can choose the shares of HSBC Holdings Co., Ltd.?" In this way, it would not be a loss for him to exchange the shares of Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Group of Japan for the shares of HSBC Holdings Co., Ltd.

.

"Are you interested in merging Gulf Second Bank into HSBC Holdings PLC?" Patriarch Welf did not answer his question directly, but asked again.

Although the Second Gulf Bank's influence in the global financial industry is far less than that of HSBC Holdings Co., Ltd., it still has considerable influence in the United Arab Emirates, the Middle East, and Asia, especially in the Middle East. After all, there are

Prince Maktoum and Prince Abdullah are two royal children. Secondly, Fang Mingyuan’s early warning that Iraqi soldiers might ignite the Kuwait oil fields also reduced big trouble for the governments of various countries. Therefore, no matter which Arab country it is,

Give Gulf Second Bank three cents of face.

"That's unnecessary. I'm afraid the two princes won't like this result." Fang Mingyuan immediately shook his head. He didn't want to merge the Second Gulf Bank into HSBC Holdings Co., Ltd. It would be better for the Fang family to have a company that can control it by itself.

Banks are the safest and most insured. He does not think that the existing shareholders of HSBC Holdings Co., Ltd. will allow the Fang family to obtain a controlling stake in the company. Patriarch Welf smiled, but did not continue to struggle with this issue.

.

"If you want to get shares of HSBC Holdings Co., Ltd., you don't have to be rich. Although the company is very interested in the shares of Japan's Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Group, it is not easy to get the company's shares.

Things." Patriarch Welf sat down on the grass. He didn't care about the expensive clothes he was wearing. He patted the grass beside him and said, "Sit down and talk. It's very tiring to talk with your head raised."

Fang Mingyuan sat down and just smiled without saying a word. He also understood that he wanted to exchange shares of Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Group for shares of HSBC Holdings Co., Ltd., which meant that the shareholding ratio of existing shareholders would have to change.

Decline. Maybe some of the shareholders will change their positions even on the company's board of directors. This is not a simple matter. He does not know the Welf family's position in HSBC Holdings Co., Ltd., so

It’s hard to say anything.

"If Gulf Second Bank withdraws from the competition with HSBC Hong Kong for Bank of Communications' strategic partner, I can try my best to push the board of directors to approve the exchange of shares of Japan's Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Group for the company's shares. At the same time, your Fang family or Gulf Second Bank

Second bank, you can also join the company's board of directors, what do you think?" Patriarch Welf said calmly.

Fang Mingyuan casually picked up a piece of dogtail grass and shook it casually. At first glance, Chief Welf's proposal seemed to kill three birds with one stone, solving three problems in a row. But in fact, it had no substance.

The benefits go to the Fang family, but the Second Gulf Bank must first make way for HSBC Hong Kong. It is still undecided whether the Fang family can exchange shares of Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Group of Japan for shares of HSBC Holdings Co., Ltd. As for entering HSBC Holdings Co., Ltd.

The company's board of directors, Fang Mingyuan, who has already obtained 5% of the shares of HSBC Holdings Co., Ltd., already has this qualification. As expected, he is an old fox who has become a spirit.

"HSBC Hong Kong has withdrawn from the competition with the Second Gulf Bank for the strategic partner of Bank of Communications. The Second Gulf Bank can no longer compete with banks from various countries under HSBC Holdings Co., Ltd. for acquired banks. HSBC Holdings Co., Ltd. has come up with thirty-five

For US$100 million, I will sell you the shares of Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Group and HSBC Holdings Co., Ltd. together," Fang Mingyuan said.

Patriarch Welf was surprised and couldn't help turning his head to look at Fang Mingyuan. He really didn't expect that Fang Mingyuan would be so straightforward and sell all the shares in his hand. 3.5 billion US dollars, although the price

A bit high, but not too outrageous. What surprised him even more was that Fang Mingyuan had no nostalgia for the shares of HSBC Holdings Co., Ltd.! This surprised him. You know, HSBC Holdings Co., Ltd. is now the world's largest shareholder

Being one of the top ten commercial banks, becoming a shareholder of it not only provides you with huge global benefits, but is also a symbol of status.

"I heard that Luxembourg's Albed Steel Company, Spain's Serelli and France's Eugeno's three major European steel groups formally merged in March this year to form the world's largest steel company Aselock Group. The Welf family

Do you also hold shares in it?" Without waiting for Patriarch Welf's answer, Fang Mingyuan continued, "If the Patriarch can exchange the Aselock Group's shares or technology, that's fine!"
