Zhou Anping noticed Mason Camp's expression and pressed his advantage, saying, "Wujiang Group can buy shares in Standard Chartered Bank to help Standard Chartered Bank defeat Lloyds Bank of England."
After a pause, Zhou Anping changed the subject and looked at Mason Camp, saying, "During Mr. Mason Camp's tenure as head of Standard Chartered Bank, Standard Chartered Bank developed rapidly. If Wujiang Group can become a major shareholder of Standard Chartered Bank, then we will definitely continue to support Mr. Mason Camp in his position as head of Standard Chartered Bank. After all, there are very few head managers as outstanding as Mr. Mason Camp in the whole world!"
Mason Kemp was a little embarrassed by the praise and waved his hand, saying, "You flatter me, I don't deserve it. There's a Chinese saying, 'If you're in a position, you should do your job.' I'm just fulfilling my duties as a bank manager."
"Yes, Mr. Mason Kemp makes a very good point. 'If you're in a position, you should do your job.' It's that simple. But there are too many people in this world who hold positions without doing their jobs. If Standard Chartered Bank falls into the hands of these people who hold positions without doing their jobs, it will definitely decline. Mr. Mason Kemp, what do you think?"
“That’s right! So, if Wujiang Group can become a major shareholder of Standard Chartered Bank, I would naturally welcome it! With the help of Wujiang Group, Standard Chartered Bank will definitely be able to defeat Lloyds Bank of England!” Mason Camp nodded and said.
"Thank you very much, Mr. Mason Kemp. When our Wujiang Group is preparing to buy shares in Standard Chartered Bank, we hope to receive some assistance from you!"
"Haha, no problem!" Mason Camp laughed and patted his chest to assure him.
Seeing that the food was getting cold, Zhou Anping gestured for Mason Camp to eat.
Immediately, the hotel private room was filled with the sounds of passing glasses and making merry.
...
That afternoon, a slightly drunk Mason Camp returned to Standard Chartered Bank and convened a meeting with management to discuss Wujiang Group's plan to acquire a stake in Standard Chartered Bank.
"Currently, Wujiang Group is enjoying unparalleled success. If we can bring Wujiang Group into Standard Chartered Bank as a shareholder, it will undoubtedly be a huge boon for Standard Chartered Bank and will certainly seriously hinder Lloyds Bank's hostile takeover attempt!"
Upon hearing this, all the senior executives nodded in agreement.
“Since everyone agrees, let’s persuade the shareholders’ meeting to approve the private placement of shares to Wujiang Group!” Mason Camp said again.
The decisions made by Standard Chartered Bank's management will be carefully considered by the major shareholders.
The current situation is very unfavorable for Standard Chartered Bank, and introducing a powerful strategic investor like Wujiang Group is undoubtedly more beneficial than harmful.
thump thump thump...
There was a knock on the door, and then a beautiful office lady walked in.
Mason Camp looked at her and asked, "Is there an emergency during a meeting?"
"Yes, Mr. Taipan. Right now, Chiu Te-ken of the Far East Bank, Pao Yue-kong, the shipping magnate of Hong Kong, and Robert, a tycoon from Macau, have come to Standard Chartered Bank, saying they want to help Standard Chartered Bank repel the hostile takeover attempt by Lloyds Bank of England!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the whole room erupted in discussion.
Standard Chartered Bank was already in dire straits due to a hostile takeover attempt by Lloyds Bank of the UK.
Unexpectedly, things took an unexpected turn. First, Wujiang Group intended to acquire a stake in Standard Chartered Bank, and then Qiu Degen, shipping magnate Bao, and Macau tycoon Robert also wanted to acquire a stake in Standard Chartered...
Everyone looked at each other, wondering what to do.
