To say that the early shareholders meeting held by the Hong Kong Stock Exchange this year has attracted much attention is a bit exaggerated. This has nothing to do with ordinary people. But to say that no one pays attention to it is even more nonsense.
In addition to Miying's Greater China heads of major financial companies, many people in the business circles in the mainland, Hong Kong Island, and Southeast Asia are paying attention to the voting for board seats.
The grievances between Mr. Jing of the Phoenix Group and Lenny Mellon, a third-generation descendant of the Mellon Group, a long-established financial group in the United States, have long been spread.
For Jinggao, if he loses this board seat, it means that his influence on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange will disappear.
For Jing Gao, this will weaken his position in the domestic business community. Many people now tolerate Phoenix Fund's harsh venture capital conditions in order to make it easier to go public on Hong Kong Island. If this channel is lost, the Phoenix Group will be lame!
At the same time, the loss of this seat on the board of directors of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange also means that Jing Gao failed in the contest with Lanny Mellon! It will affect the position of many people. Next, the 8.7% of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange shares he holds are bullshit!
Billions of dollars were lost!
I have to say, this is a move that Lanny Mellon hates very much. After he failed to seduce Zuo Hao, the former CEO of Phoenix Fund, he directly showed his trump card and fought with Jing Gao.
Face is one thing, but there are also benefits! Jinggao's loss will be their gain! Think about it, the stocks in Jing Gao's hands are useless, will he sell them? Otherwise, how would he operate this thing.
Hong Kong Island, Central. Li Jiacheng's office on the 70th floor of the Yangtze River Group Center Building.
He has currently handed over his business to his son, but the general direction still needs to be controlled. I still come to work in this office every day.
At this time, he asked his assistant to put down all meetings and phone calls and wait in the office exclusively for the results.
At this time, his eldest son Li Zeju was also waiting for the results in the office downstairs, and the two people's internal calls were connected.
"Dad, Carlos Bellman's vote rate is 25.6%. The Mellon Group is still very powerful." Of course the Li family has shares in the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. A proxy was also sent to attend this shareholders' meeting, and the on-site voting and counting process was conveyed to him in real time.
Li Jiacheng hunched his back. He was old now, but he still did not give up his power in business. He warned his son: "Victor, don't think so. There is no eternal consortium. Doing business is doing business, and the essence of business is profit. Rather than looking at the background.”
Li Zeju was taught, "Daddy, I understand." But another question came to mind: before the start of today's shareholders' meeting, the mainstream opinions of the think tanks around him were unanimous: Jing Gao will definitely lose.
Because the Hong Kong Government, the main controller of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, and the thirteen major secondary controllers, together account for nearly 90% of the shares of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. The number of outstanding shares on the market exceeds the legal limit of 10%.
And with the energy of the Bank of New York where Lenny Mellon worked, he roped in Miying's financial companies to vote. This is a proper rhythm to kill Jing Gao.
Of course, the think tanks proposed a very unlikely thing: buy a ticket!
What does Lanny Mellon rely on to unite most of the other twelve secondary controllers, excluding the two primary and secondary controllers of Hong Kong Government and Jiuge Capital?
Is it because of his surname "Mellon"?
You are just talking nonsense!
Do you know that financial giants on Wall Street such as Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley and other companies will even kill their own people if they become ruthless? Just because you have a last name, you want others to give up their interests and follow you? Even America’s commanders couldn’t do this.
Therefore, the conclusion is very simple. Lenny Mellon must have paid benefits and promised benefits in order to unite to a majority vote.
So the question is, can Jinggao do something similar? If you want to acquire enough shares of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange before this general meeting of shareholders, not to mention the legal issues, it is simply an economic issue: Who do you look for to acquire it?
Those twelve secondary controlled entities are not for sale! Only small shareholders like the Blackett family are left with some shares hanging around.
Therefore, there is a high probability that Jing Gao will have to buy a ticket.
However, judging from the connections of all parties and the analysis of the results, there is a high probability that Jing Gao will not be able to buy enough votes. He is a newbie, how can he have connections like that of an established family? Now he can't even find the temple gate even if he burns incense.
Sometimes, money is not as important as favor! Favors, on the other hand, take time to develop.
Li Zeju's business style is very calm and pragmatic. After just a few seconds of floating, I was scolded by my father. He immediately remembered this small probability event. But he didn't tell his father about it.
Let’s see the voting results later!
In any case, the Li family did not rush to the front this time. Lenny Mellon, the executive director of the Greater China Region of the Bank of New York, jumped the highest.
…
…
Hong Kong Island, Stanley.
Idaka is also watching the morning vote. However, his place is not as deserted as the Li family and his son deliberately did not stay in an office to avoid suspicion. There are quite a few people waiting for news on his side.
Da Guo and Xiao Guo are taking care of old relationships in Nanyang at the Shangri-La Hotel. Wu Jingshu from Jiuge Capital and Wei Chenjun from Morningside Bank are both here at Jinggao. Wu Jingshu wanted to deliver timely news to Jing Gao.
Jiuge Capital is the thirteenth secondary controlled entity of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange approved by the Hong Kong government. Today's nominations for Michael Kadoorie were all proposed by Jiuge Capital.
And Wei Chenjun, a plump and sexy thirty-three-year-old beauty with a beautiful nose and almond-shaped eyes, simply wanted to accompany Jing Gao, encourage and comfort him.
Dugu Jing and Jing Shufeng were also waiting for instructions at the villa, which actually served as channels for information gathering and distribution. The executives of Phoenix and Taichu Group must pay attention to such a big matter. But not everyone has the courage to call Jing Gao's personal mobile phone directly to ask about this matter.
Ever since Jing Gao handed over the legal person and chairman of the Phoenix Group to An Zhiwen, he had less control over the group's strategy. But the authority is growing day by day! The executives below were a little intimidated. The people who called who were concerned about this matter were An Zhiwen, Guan Yujia, Liu Sumei, An Xiaoqian, Tang Xuan and others.
Jun Zi, who is responsible for security, is Jing Gao's close subordinate.
In fact, Jing Gao was not nervous at all. He had talked with Tan Yunqiu and Cao Zhuang who had come to Hong Kong Island to report on their work all morning.
A gluttonous feast is being shared over at Jinling! Fuzhong Group is under government custody and is negotiating a distribution plan for creditors. Cao Zhuang came to report on the results of the carve-up and the next operational direction of Tianyan Capital. He needed Jing Gao's prestige to suppress internal disputes.
At the same time, he brought Zhou Nanman's biological daughter Song Zhiqiu to Hong Kong Island. Jinling has been in a bit of chaos recently, so Mr. Jing asked him to bring it over. Mainly because Zhou Nanman was worried, Jing Gao gave the order. Zhou Nanman brought him a big benefit. Of course, not in terms of board seats on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange.
Tan Yunqiu is here to report on the preparation status of short video software. She brought Fu Yaoyao.
"Zhou Nanman and Song Yingxia are on vacation in Bangkok. They went there years ago. Lingyu helped me build a large manor there. Hong Kong Island is also a whirlpool!"
The weather in Hong Kong Island in February is very comfortable. A group of people were chatting in the garden of the villa. Igao explained casually.
Tan Yunqiu covered her mouth and smiled softly, her eyes gleaming with awe. Anyone familiar with Jing Gao will feel that there is something wrong with this explanation.
Cao Zhuang naturally did not dare to ask any more questions. Mr. Jing's assistant has already arranged for Song Zhiqiu to send a private plane to Bangkok after she has lunch.
Jing Gao shook his head with a smile and took a sip of tea. Nor does he explain the specific reasons.
Wei Chenjun sat next to Jing Gao, drinking tea dignifiedly and quietly.
At this time, Wu Jingshu walked over quickly with a mobile phone in his hand, "Mr. Jing, the vote has passed!"
Jing Gao smiled and nodded, stood up, stretched his arms slightly, and looked at the blue sky and white clouds on the horizon, slightly lost in thought. The sky is filled with clouds and clouds, and I am not surprised by favor or disgrace!
Looking back, he saw everyone in the garden looking at him eagerly, and smiled slightly: "Jingshu, please spread the news!"
