I became the richest man in the world after losing my life in a vegetative state.

in history.

Among the four major foreign companies in Hong Kong, Hutchison Whampoa was swallowed up by Li Jiacheng, Wheelock was swallowed up by Bao Yugang, Jardines was saved by the Keswick family, and although Swire & Co. was divided into parts, the Swire family finally saved it. Ancient.

However, now among the four major foreign banks, except for the Swire Foreign Bank of the Shi Huaiya family, all others have been swallowed up by Yang Ming and the Imperial Group.

Moreover, even though it is Swire Pacific of the Swire family, its most important business, including aviation, Air China has lost a lot of market, and the Imperial Group is already the second largest shareholder of Air China. In terms of Coke, the Imperial Group The delicious Coca-Cola and Red Bull have taken away a lot of the ancient Coca-Cola market in the beverage market.

As for other industries, including sugar production, Swire has long been abandoned.

In fact, among the British-owned foreign firms in Xiangjiang, there was really not much impact.

In addition to the Kadoorie family's China Electric Power, this company is also known as the last foreign company in Hong Kong.

Since the end of the 1970s, Yang Ming and the Imperial Group have been gobbling up other British-owned foreign firms in Hong Kong, allowing the Imperial Group to continue to expand.

However, Yingzhijie has been developing better and better in recent years. Its scale is actually comparable to the four major foreign companies of the year, and even larger than Jardine Matheson and Taikoo Matheson.

What no one else expected was that Yang Ming had already set his sights on Ying Zhijie.

In fact, when Yang Ming swallowed up the Xiangjiang Dadong Telegraph Group, he had his eye on Ying Zhijie, but he never took action against Ying Zhijie.

So much so that the scale of Yingzhijie has expanded to this extent.

Of course, Yingzhijie is headquartered in London and is also listed in London. It is actually somewhat different from the four major foreign banks.

However, Yingzhijie's main business is still in Hong Kong and Asia.

Although Yingzhijie's business is spread all over the world, its specific business and profits are in the Asia-Pacific region.

"Boss, are you going to swallow Ying Zhijie?" Huo Jianning asked tentatively.

"Yes, before 97 comes, we must swallow up this foreign company."

If so.

I'm afraid it's a little difficult.

Now Yingzhijie has developed to this extent. Moreover, Yingzhijie is headquartered in London and is listed in London. The shareholders are also in country Y.

Although now Yingzhijie’s first Chinese senior classmate is Zheng Mingshun from Xiangjiang.

However, this Taipan and Shen Bi are also different.

The other party is actually just a senior professional manager, and the real power is still the shareholder of Director Yingzhijie in Country Y.

"Boss, we need to make preparations in Hong Kong and London."

According to Huo Jianning's idea.

Among them, in London, try to acquire Yingzhijie's shares as much as possible, especially the shares of some major shareholders.

However, if Yingzhijie is targeted by the Imperial Group and Sir Yang, Yingzhijie's major shareholders, including Yingzhijie's founder family, the McKee family, may not give up Yingzhijie easily.

Because the current situation is different from that of the 1970s and 1980s. Although country Y is also undergoing large-scale privatization, the Imperial Group has swallowed up most of these large privatized companies.

However, now that Yingzhijie is doing very well and its profits are very good in all aspects, how could it be possible to sell Yingzhijie to Imperial Group and Sir Yang?

Moreover, now that the McGee family is still the most outstanding controlling shareholder, it is even more impossible to let go easily.

"You need to confirm this."

Yang Ming is ready to hand over the acquisition of Yingzhijie to the cabinet.

This matter cannot be made public until Ying Zhijie is truly swallowed.

In other words, Yang Ming is going to hand over the responsibility to four people, Mailisi, Huo Jianning, Ma Shimin, and Wei Li.

This acquisition of Yingzhijie may require hundreds of billions of Hong Kong dollars. It may be the largest acquisition in the history of Imperial Group in recent years.

However, Yang Ming felt it was still worth it.

Now that the Imperial Group has abundant funds, it is impossible for him not to continue investing in it to acquire and swallow up more good large companies.

Now, this is the first time that Huo Jianning knows about Yang Ming's huge acquisition plan, and Huo Jianning is also very surprised.

"Boss, does anyone else know about this?"

"Not yet, no one else knows yet except you."

People like Lin Xiuzhi, He Chaoluo, and even Mai Lisi don't know yet.

However, Ye Chen had already had this idea and plan.

Perhaps the vast majority of people in Xiangjiang, including the people of Country Y, cannot believe that the Imperial Group and Sir Yang have actually targeted Ying Zhijie for a long time.

Huo Jianning was very excited when she heard her boss say that, which showed that her boss had great trust in him.

Yang Ming's regard for Huo Jianning is actually the same as Li Jiacheng's regard for Huo Jianning in history.

Of course, Yang Ming still attaches great importance to Merliss, Ma Shimin, and even Wei Li.

It's about nine o'clock in the evening.

When Yang Ming and Huo Jianning were about to talk, he asked Lin Xiuzhi to notify Mai Lisi, Ma Shimin and Wei Li to see him.

The three people hadn't rested yet when they suddenly heard a call from Secretary Lin, and they knew something was wrong.

When the three of them came over, they saw Huo Jianning and learned that Huo Jianning had returned to Xiangjiang in the afternoon, which meant that the acquisition of Bahrain Bank had come to an end.

Imperial will once again own a multinational bank that has been in business for more than two hundred years.

"Mailisi, Ma Shimin, and Wei Li, I've called you here this time to acquire Yingzhijie."

Acquire Yingzhijie?

The three people were also very shocked when they heard this.

The current Yingzhijie is still very low-key in Hong Kong, but its strength has already surpassed that of Swire Bank, so it is known as the last British bank in Hong Kong.

What the three of them didn't expect was that the boss didn't even intend to let go of the last British-owned foreign firm, but wanted to swallow it up.

"Boss, the market value of Yingzhijie in London is very high now. If we want to acquire it, we may have to spend hundreds of billions of Hong Kong dollars."

Spending hundreds of billions of Hong Kong dollars to acquire a company was indeed a terrifying thing in the 1990s.

If converted into U.S. dollars, it would cost more than 10 billion U.S. dollars. If word spread, it would definitely shock the world.

In fact, Huifeng Bank's market value now exceeds HK$200 billion, Hengxing Bank's market value exceeds HK$100 billion, and Yingzhijie's market value is only slightly behind Huifeng Bank, with a market value of more than HK$100 billion. Companies listed in London have a market value of Even so, he is ranked first.

"There is no need to worry about money, but we must absolutely control this company."

Yang Ming negotiated with the four people.

As for how to acquire and swallow up this foreign company, it is up to these four people to decide.

Yang Ming came out of the study.

Malice, Ma Shimin, Wei Li, Huo Jianning, especially Malice, none of them expected that their boss had just swallowed up the old Barings Bank.

Now it actually wants to swallow up Yingzhijie Group again.

In fact, compared to Barings Bank, Yingzhijie Group's influence in all aspects is much greater.
