Su Cheng officially became the third largest shareholder of Huifeng Bank, which really shocked all the shareholders present.
Because, before Su City became a shareholder of Huifeng Bank, the board of directors of Huifeng Bank paid a very low price to let Su City have a closer relationship with Huifeng Bank. City buys 1% of the stock.
As a result, it took Sioux City a long time to actually acquire this 1% stock.
It can be seen that Su Cheng, the world's richest man, is not very interested in Huifeng Bank.
Later, Su City 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 it clearer to everyone that Su Cheng had no interest in Huifeng Bank at all.
However, what was unexpected was that Su Cheng has now quietly become the third largest shareholder of Huifeng Bank, which indeed surprised many board members.
Of course, Huifeng Bank is now completely in the hands of a British-funded consortium. Even if Su Cheng became the third largest shareholder, no one showed any vigilance about it.
After all, even if Su Cheng is already the third largest shareholder, it only holds 4.58% of the shares, which is far from the shares held by British-funded consortiums like them.
Among Chinese-funded enterprises, the shares of Huifeng Bank held by them are not many.
Just like the charter king, he only indirectly holds some shares of Huifeng Bank through Global Shipping Group. He personally does not own any shares of Huifeng Bank at all.
Although another female Chinese director, Ms. Deng Lianru, is a member of the board of directors, she does not hold any shares in Huifeng Bank and is just a professional executive.
Therefore, even if Su Cheng becomes the third largest shareholder on the surface, no shareholder will be worried about this. After all, Su Cheng is just working alone. With his small share, he has no power in Huifeng Bank. It is impossible to hold great power.
Since all the board members were called over, Shen Bi naturally could not just talk about Su Cheng becoming the third largest shareholder. He also announced some important matters accumulated during this period at the meeting. After a while, or if there are things that need to be voted on, they are also mentioned for everyone to vote on.
This time, Su Cheng attended Huifeng Bank's board of directors meeting for the second time. Before that, he had only attended once when he first served as a board member of Huifeng Bank.
Su Cheng was not very interested in the internal affairs of Huifeng Bank, but since he had already participated in this meeting, it was impossible for him to leave midway.
By the time this board meeting was about to end, it was already an hour later, and it was already evening.
Seeing Shen Bi preparing to end the meeting, Su Cheng finally breathed a sigh of relief. He was not very interested in holding such a meeting.
Huifeng Bank has these senior executives managing the company, so he naturally trusts them very much.
Being able to develop into a century-old bank and a super listed company with a market capitalization of over two trillion Hong Kong dollars in the future must be because their professional executives, such as Shen Bi, are strong enough.
Therefore, even though they have secretly become the largest shareholder of Huifeng Bank, Su Cheng has no doubts about them. Just when Shen Bi was about to announce the end of the meeting, a foreign director stood up and said, "Everyone, please don't leave. I also have something to say here."
Suzhou City knows this foreign director named Scotty Fisher. He is 65 years old and is also British. He is different from professional executives. Scotty Fisher is also a director of Huifeng Bank. One of the shareholders holds 2.26% of the shares held by Su Cheng from the information.
In Huifeng Bank, there are not many people who both own shares and are board members. On the contrary, there are more representatives of the consortium.
Scotty Fisher does not represent any consortium, but represents himself as the director. Moreover, he has settled in Xiangjiang all year round and his management skills are not bad, so at the headquarters of Huifeng Group Not only does he hold the position of director, but he is also in charge of a certain department of Huifeng Group and is one of the shareholders with real power.
"Mr. Scotty, I wonder if you have anything else to say?" Shen Bi asked.
"Taking the opportunity of Mr. Su Cheng becoming the third largest shareholder of Huifeng Bank, I would like to announce my plan here. I am now sixty-five years old, and my body is no longer as strong as before. I personally feel that I am no longer suitable for my current position, so I plan to resign from Huifeng Group and return to my hometown in Scotland to retire, hoping to get approval from the board of directors,” Scotty Fisher said with a serious expression.
Judging from his expression, he should have been thinking about it for a long time.
"Mr. Scotty Fisher, your decision is too sudden." Shen Bi said in shock.
Scotty Fisher can be regarded as an old board member of Huifeng Bank. He has been a member of the board of directors of Huifeng Group for more than ten years. Unexpectedly, he announced his resignation so suddenly today.
At the level of Scottie Fisher, resignation must of course be approved by the board of directors, but under normal circumstances the board of directors cannot stop him, but the date of approval is uncertain.
"Mr. Shen Bi, and all my colleagues here, I have actually been thinking about this decision for a long time, but I have never said it out loud because I have feelings for Huifeng Bank and have been reluctant to leave, but During this time, my son wanted me to go back to my hometown in Scotland. Considering my current age, I finally decided to resign from the board of directors.
At the same time, I also intended to sell my 2.26% stake in Huifeng Group. , I hope that if the shareholders here or the shareholders behind the scenes are interested in acquiring it, I can sell it. If no one is interested, I may return to my hometown in Scotland and slowly sell these shares in the stock market. ”
When Scotty Fisher said the last thing, he didn’t know whether it was unintentional or intentional, and he meowed Sioux City a lot.
Scotty Fisher knew very well that other shareholders of the British consortium should not have any interest in his shares, because he had previously tested many shareholders privately, but no shareholder was interested in increasing the shares. Some shareholders who are interested in holding Huifeng Group shares even have the idea of withdrawing their capital.
Because the core of Huifeng Bank's business is in Xiangjiang.
As for the future prospects of Xiangjiang, no one knows exactly. Many British-funded consortiums are not optimistic about the future of Xiangjiang. This is also the reason why many British-funded consortiums continue to withdraw from Xiangjiang.
Therefore, shareholders who are not optimistic about the future of Xiangjiang will naturally have the idea of leaving Huifeng Group.
It would be better if they didn’t withdraw their capital immediately. It is simply impossible for them to increase their shareholdings, even if there are many very wealthy people in these consortiums.
So, in Scotty Fisher's opinion, the only person most likely to buy his stocks and hold a large amount of cash is the wealthy man from Sioux City. (End of chapter)
