Open business day-to-day

Chapter 499
The time is long, Lin Rui is in the resort of Lanai, every day in the sun, on the beach, with women and children, or on a super yacht, fishing, surfing...

When the interest comes, I will also drive the helicopter for a few laps, or come to the shooting range to play with all kinds of hot weapons.

The U.S. imperialists can’t stop weapons. As for the non-citizens not being able to buy weapons, it’s not a problem for the super rich.

Directly register a shooting club, the location is set on his private island, it makes no difference whether you buy it or not.

Just like private zoos, many of the super rich in the United States use the name of private zoos or botanical gardens to raise a large number of rare animals and plants that cannot be kept privately.

Lin Rui also played the same operation. On Lanai Island with an area of ​​365 square kilometers, he not only built a private zoo, but also a private botanical garden, a private hunting ground...

There are also private museums, private libraries, private exhibition halls...

It has become a luxurious private kingdom.

For the super-rich, in order to add fun to the boring life, there is only what you can't think of, and there is nothing you can't do.

……

In this way, in the relaxed and entertaining atmosphere, various things in the company were slowly advancing without any delay.

Negotiations with Wanda went extremely smoothly. In the end, Star Cinemas acquired a 43% stake in Wanda Cinemas at a price of 17 billion, increasing its shareholding to 49%, second only to Wanda Group's 51%. The influence of the film and television industry has been further strengthened.

Standard Chartered Bank is also making good progress here. It has formally signed equity transfer agreements with 25 institutions, increasing its shareholding to 47.72%.

The other two also roughly negotiated, and finally gave a 45% premium, won the 4.08% stake held by the two, and two board seats.

Take full control of Standard Chartered Bank and fulfill Lin Rui's dream of a financial empire.

……

Things moved quickly, and the contract was formally signed two days later.

When all the shares were officially transferred to Xingkong Technology Group, in an instant, Xingkong Technology Group's shareholding in Standard Chartered Bank reached 51.8%.

When the news was announced, it immediately caused a sensation.

As a large international bank with a history of 200 years, Standard Chartered Bank has a considerable influence in the world, especially in the Asia-Pacific region, where it has business dealings with countless companies and has a huge influence.

Not to mention, it is one of the three major note-issuing banks of Hong Kong dollars and has the right to issue Hong Kong dollars.

For a bank, having the right to issue banknotes in Xiangjiang, an international financial center, is its core competitiveness.

Now it is directly controlled by Xingkong Technology Group, which is a big shock to Hong Kong, the mainland, and other parts of Asia.

……

However, Lin Rui is obviously not satisfied with this. The 51.8% shareholding is not safe, and he wants to go further.

Unfortunately, after the large-scale fundraising some time ago, there are not many tradable shares in the market, and most of the remaining shares are held by institutions.And these institutions, which have been contacted some time ago, obviously do not intend to sell their shares, even if they offer a high premium.

Helpless, since he is so persistent, don't blame him for being tough and not showing affection.

In the same way as the acquisition of Lenovo Group, Lin Rui personally stepped in to reorganize the entire Board of Directors of Standard Chartered Bank, and used his controlling position to forcibly pass the additional issuance plan of Standard Chartered Bank.

In this regard, Lin Rui still left some leeway, and did not conduct a private placement for Xingkong Technology Group. The major shareholders of Standard Chartered Bank, if they are interested and have capital, can participate in this placement.

It's a pity that there are not many people who are really powerful and participate.

This time, Standard Chartered Bank will issue 30% more shares to raise 660 billion Hong Kong dollars, of which Star Technology Group subscribed 550 billion, and other shareholders only subscribed 110 billion.

After the additional issuance, the original shareholding of Xingkong Technology Group was diluted to 36.26%, plus the 25% obtained from participating in the additional issuance, the shareholding of Standard Chartered Bank directly reached 61.26%, which further strengthened the controlling stake. Lin Rui finally Satisfied.

Since then, Standard Chartered Bank, a large international bank with a long history, total assets of 7000 billion U.S. dollars and huge influence in the Asia-Pacific region, has changed its surname to Lin.

Together with Zhongyuan Bank, one inside and one outside, they formed Lin Rui's huge financial empire.

In the future, he will provide a steady stream of financial support for his major companies.

……

During this period of time, the development trend of global technology stocks is very good, especially the Chinese concept stocks listed in the United States and Hong Kong, whose market value has soared upwards.

Ali's market capitalization officially exceeded 5000 billion U.S. dollars, making it the second most valuable company in China and even in Asia as a whole.

The market value of Weiyang Technology has exceeded 7000 billion U.S. dollars, ranking first in Asia and China.

Second only to Apple, Google and Google take turns occupying the throne of the world's second-largest market capitalization and third-largest market capitalization.

Among the Internet companies in China, the market capitalization is lower than that of Weiyang Technology and Alibaba. Not surprisingly, it is Penguin.

The current market value is 2200 billion US dollars, which is the highest point since the company was founded.

Ordinarily, with Weiyang Technology, the world's overlord in the social field, Penguin, the former domestic social overlord, has long since declined. Why can the market value soar to such a high level.

I have to say that Penguin has a really good background, especially in terms of games. The various layouts made in the past few years, with the popularization of smart phones and the growth of China's economy, have all emerged.

In the past two years, although the social business has shrunk in an all-round way, and the loss of WeChat users has been serious. Today, there are less than 1 million active users, all supported by QQ.

However, the game business has grown rapidly, and the company's financial report is very good. It has been hyped by some financial institutions in the Asia-Pacific region, and its market value has been rapidly increased.

Today, many people in the financial and technological circles have begun to preach, saying how great the potential of Penguin is!In the future, we will first gain a foothold in China and catch up with Weiyang Technology in the domestic market.In going to sea, compete with Weiyang Technology in the international market.

Under such advocacy and deception, coupled with the very good financial report, the market value quickly exceeded 2000 billion U.S. dollars, and many institutional and individual investors were fooled into boarding and began to enter the market, continuing to increase their holdings of Penguin stocks and continue to increase their market value. .

……

Lin Rui was not only not angry about this, but secretly a little happy.

You know, since 12, seeing the potential of Penguin in games, Lin Rui asked Chen Fan to lay out the layout, and through dozens of shell companies, he wanted to attract money, holding nearly 30% of the shares.

At that time, in addition to raising money, he did not have other actions, and Weiyang Technology gradually increased its investment in games.

Especially in 15, Weiyang Technology went public, ranked third in the global market value, and became the world's top technology company. Using this name and the super high influence in the domestic market, it aggressively poached and acquired domestic and foreign game companies.

Penguin is the hardest-hit area. Several top game studios under its umbrella are almost poached, and some even leave the entire team together.

The highlight moments of the Penguin game in the past two years have been to eat back the previous capital, which is the dividend of the explosion of the mobile Internet.Try it in another one or two years, and wait until the old capital is exhausted and there is no demand, the financial report will make a 180-degree turn, and the market value will fall to the bottom.
