"Shen Sheng! There's no point in saying more. Since ancient times, victors have always been kings and losers have always been bandits. Since you know our plan well, then when we sold Hang Seng Bank shares, you must have been slowly accumulating shares."
A gloomy look flashed in Li Guowei's eyes. Although he had anticipated the possibility of failure, it was still hard to accept when it actually happened.
"You're wrong. When you were secretly selling Hang Seng Bank shares, I wasn't stupid enough to spend a huge amount of money to buy them. I was also slowly selling them."
"Hang Seng Bank's stock has hit rock bottom. Like you, I'm also accumulating large amounts of shares. No matter how I operate, as long as I can firmly grasp the controlling stake in Hang Seng Bank, I will always be invincible."
A deep blue light flashed in the depths of Shen Bi's eyes. He took a sip of tea calmly, then glanced at He Shanheng, Li Guowei and others indifferently. He had an invincible momentum as if he had a sword in his hand.
"Been taught a lesson."
Ho Sin-heng seemed to have aged ten years in an instant, and the scene of 1965 came to his mind.
At that time, HSBC was still headed by Sanders, and it was his elaborate plan that ultimately led to Hang Seng Bank losing its controlling stake.
Now, seventeen years have passed in the blink of an eye. I never expected that my carefully planned plan would ultimately fail. I couldn't help but feel discouraged and completely lost my ambition.
He staggered to his feet and prepared to go back to the office to pack up his things and leave this building that he had built.
"Wait a minute!"
Shen Bi's right hand kept tapping the table gently, as if the rhythmic sound was a beautiful note.
It was not until the moment when He Shanheng and others were about to push the door open and leave that he slowly spoke.
"Shen Sheng! We've already lost, there's nothing to say. Are you still going to laugh at us?"
After Li Guowei stopped, he turned around and stared at Shen Bi who was sitting on the chair.
A pair of eyes seemed to be spitting fire. If eyes could kill, then the high and mighty Shen Bi would have died countless times.
"I'm not that boring. I just want to ask if you are interested in controlling the Hang Seng Bank."
Shen Bi replied indifferently, then took out a box of cigars from his purse, took out a cigar, lit it with a lighter, and started puffing away at it, as if he was talking about a trivial matter.
As soon as these words were spoken, the huge conference room suddenly became quiet, and you could hear a pin drop.
"Shen Sheng! Isn't your joke funny?"
He Shanheng was stunned for a moment, then slowly spoke.
"Haha! Hang Seng Bank is the culmination of your life's hard work, but to me, it's just a dispensable profit-making tool. Now this tool has little value, so why should I invest so much money and painstakingly manage it? So selling it is the most advantageous option for me."
Shen Bi took a deep drag on his cigar, and the smell of nicotine instantly made him more energetic.
There was a deep light in the depths of his eyes, and he naturally exuded an unrivaled aura.
Since coming to Hong Kong in 1948, he has fallen in love with this land.
He also developed a strong interest in Chinese culture, and especially studied Sun Tzu's Art of War and the Thirty-Six Stratagems.
So from the very beginning he was leading He Shanheng and others by the nose.
The purpose is to gain the greatest benefits and prevent the other party from seeing through HSBC's true intentions.
In fact, HSBC does not have much funds at hand now. Its investment in the Carrian Group has resulted in losses of more than HK$5 billion, which is a considerable loss.
Moreover, it had just recently responded to the invitation of the Hong Kong government to provide assistance to Hang Lung Bank.
Now we have to save Hang Seng Bank, and the funds required are astronomical.
Then selling the shares held by Hang Seng Bank is the best option.
Besides, the other party has also invited Huaxia Bank to help, which is something he dare not offend easily at the moment.
Because no one knows who will continue to decide the future of Hong Kong.
If we offend someone to death, we have to consider whether HSBC will be held accountable in the future.
"Then I wonder how many shares Shen Sheng is going to sell?" Li Guowei kept a clear head and asked immediately.
"Wait a minute!"
Shen Bi responded and quickly put out the remaining cigar in the ashtray.
He calmly picked up the mobile phone in the drawer and made a call.
"How many shares of Hang Seng Bank do we currently hold?"
"Mr. Chen! There are a total of 12.22 million shares. We sold 2 million shares at the beginning. Now, not only have we bought back the 2 million shares we sold at the lowest price, but we also received an additional 2.22 million shares. If we continue to buy, I am confident that we can get another 2 million shares in the next few days."
"Stop the acquisition and follow my orders."
"OK."
After hanging up the phone, he pretended to be indifferent and said to He Shanheng and others:
"Then sell 6 million shares!"
He Shanheng and others looked very ugly. They were really in trouble today and not only lost face.
He had to be severely ripped off by the other party because Hang Seng Bank was like his child and he had to buy it even at a higher price.
Then, in this spacious conference room, people started arguing like people buying vegetables in the market.
Both sides engaged in a war of words for their own interests.
The first to compromise were He Shanheng and others because the initiative was in Shen Bi's hands.
So they had no choice but to compromise, and finally reached an agreement with mutual concessions.
The transaction was completed at an issue price of HK$200 per share for 6 million shares, which is HK$1.2 billion.
You should know that the current share price of Hang Seng Bank has risen due to acquisitions by various parties.
But it only fluctuated between HK$30 and HK$40, and the price has at least tripled.
Both parties who reached an agreement were afraid of any unexpected changes, so they immediately hired their respective lawyers to negotiate.
Then he quickly signed his name on the contract.
In the afternoon, the news that the two parties reached an agreement made the front pages of major newspapers in Hong Kong, just when everyone thought He Shanheng was an idiot.
Hang Seng Bank officially announced that Hua Xia Bank invested HK$2 billion in the bank.
At the same time, Hang Seng Bank expanded its share capital and raised a huge amount of funds of nearly 3 billion Hong Kong dollars.
With the help of these two pieces of news, countless people in Hong Kong instantly saw the strong strength of Hang Seng Bank.
Li Guowei to confirm the authenticity of the news.
They even urgently brought in ten truckloads of banknotes from all the banks in Hong Kong.
Under the protection of police cars, they were transported to the Hang Seng Bank headquarters in Hong Kong and more than 20 branches.
Distributing money in front of all the people withdrawing money is to prove that Hang Seng Bank has money.
