We're building a super chaebol in Hong Kong

Su Cheng officially became the third largest shareholder of HSBC Bank on the surface, which indeed shocked all the shareholders present.

Because, before Su Cheng became a shareholder of HSBC Bank, the board of directors of HSBC Bank specially allowed Su Cheng to purchase 1% of the shares at a very low price in order to make Su Cheng's relationship with HSBC Bank closer.

As a result, it took Su Cheng a long time to actually get this 1% of the shares.

It can be seen that Su Cheng, the richest man in the world, should not be very interested in HSBC Bank.

Later, Su Cheng not only acquired a bank in Hong Kong, but also went to the UK to acquire another bank, and merged the two banks.

This made everyone understand even more that Su Cheng was not very interested in HSBC Bank at all.

However, what I didn't expect was that Su Cheng has now become the third largest shareholder of HSBC Bank silently, which did surprise many board members.

Of course, HSBC Bank is now completely in the hands of British consortia, so even if Su Cheng becomes the third largest shareholder, everyone has not shown a trace of vigilance.

After all, even if Su Cheng is already the third largest shareholder, he only holds 4.58% of the shares, which is too far from the shares held by these British consortia.

Among the Chinese-funded enterprises, there are not many shares of HSBC Bank held in the first place.

Just like Bao Ship King, he only indirectly holds a small portion of HSBC Bank's shares through the Global Shipping Group, and he himself does not have any HSBC Bank shares at all.

As for another Chinese female director, Miss Deng Lianru, although she is a member of the board of directors, she does not hold any shares of HSBC Bank, but is only a professional executive.

Therefore, even if Su Cheng becomes the third largest shareholder on the surface, no shareholder will worry about it, after all, Su Cheng is just alone, and with his little shares, it is impossible to seize power in HSBC Bank.

Now that all the directors have been called over, Sir Shen Bi naturally cannot only talk about Su Cheng becoming the third largest shareholder. He also announced some important matters accumulated during this period at the meeting, or things that need to be voted on, and asked everyone to vote.

This time, Su Cheng is considered to be attending the board meeting of HSBC Bank for the second time. Previously, he only attended it once when he first served as a member of the board of directors of HSBC Bank.

Su Cheng is not very interested in the internal affairs of HSBC Bank, but since he has already attended this meeting, it is impossible for him to leave halfway.

By the time this board meeting was about to end, it was already an hour later, and it was already dusk.

Seeing Sir Shen Bi preparing to end the meeting, Su Cheng finally breathed a sigh of relief. He was not very interested in holding such meetings.

HSBC Bank has these executives to manage the company, and he naturally trusts them very much.

The fact that it can develop into a century-old bank in the future and a super listed company with a market value of over 2 trillion Hong Kong dollars must be because their professional executives are strong enough, such as Sir Shen Bi.

Therefore, even if he has secretly become the largest shareholder of HSBC Bank, Su Cheng is 100% assured of them.

Just as Sir Shen Bi was about to announce the end of the meeting, a foreign director stood up and said, "Everyone, wait a minute, I also have something to say here."

Su Cheng knows this foreign director, named Scotty Fischer, who is 65 years old this year and is also British. He is different from professional executives. Scotty Fischer is also one of the shareholders of HSBC Bank. Su Cheng has seen the shares he holds in the materials, and he should own 2.26%.

In HSBC Bank, there are not many people who both own shares and are members of the board of directors. Instead, there are more representatives of consortia.

Scotty Fischer does not represent any consortium, but represents himself in this position as a director, and he has lived in Hong Kong for many years and his management ability is not bad, so he not only holds the position of director in the HSBC Group headquarters, but also manages a department of the HSBC Group, and is one of the shareholders with real power.

"Mr. Scotty, I wonder what else you have to say?" Sir Shen Bi asked.

"Taking advantage of the opportunity that Mr. Su Cheng has become the third largest shareholder of HSBC Bank, I would like to announce my plan here. I am already sixty-five years old, and my body is not as strong as before. I personally feel that I am no longer suitable for my current position, so I plan to resign from HSBC Group and go back to my hometown in Scotland to retire, and I hope to get the approval of the board of directors," Scotty Fischer said with a serious expression.

Judging from his expression, he should have been considering it for a long time.

"Mr. Scotty Fischer, your decision is too sudden," Sir Shen Bi said with some shock.

Scotty Fischer can be regarded as an old member of the board of directors of HSBC Bank. He has been a member of the board of directors of HSBC Group for more than ten years. He did not expect him to suddenly announce his resignation today.

At Scotty Fischer's level, resignation of course requires the approval of the board of directors, but under normal circumstances, the board of directors cannot stop people, but the date of approval is uncertain.

"Mr. Shen Bi, and all the colleagues present, I have actually been thinking about this decision for a long time, but I have never said it, because I have more feelings for HSBC Bank and have always been reluctant to leave, but during this period, my son hopes that I will go back to my hometown in Scotland to live. Considering my current age, I finally decided to resign from the board of directors.

At the same time, I also intend to sell the 2.26% of the shares of HSBC Group in my hand. I hope that the shareholders present or the shareholders they represent, if they are interested in acquiring them, I can sell them. If no one is interested, I may go back to my hometown in Scotland and slowly sell this part of the shares on the stock market."

When Scotty Fischer said the last sentence, he glanced at Su Cheng many times, whether intentionally or unintentionally.

Scotty Fischer is very clear that other British consortium shareholders should not be interested in his shares, because he has privately tested many shareholders before, but no shareholder is interested in increasing their holdings of HSBC Group shares, and even several shareholders have plans to withdraw their capital.

Therefore, shareholders who are not optimistic about the future of Hong Kong will naturally have the idea of withdrawing from HSBC Group.

It would be good if they don't withdraw their capital immediately, and they still want them to increase their holdings, which is impossible, even if these consortia are very rich.

Therefore, in Scotty Fischer's view, the only person who is most likely to buy his shares and has a lot of cash is Su Cheng, the tycoon. (End of this chapter)
