On September 11, standard bank and xiangdao bank simultaneously announced that in order to improve the company''s equity governance structure, the controlling shareholders sold 8.6% and 21% of their shares respectively, which were increased by the original shareholders and introduced strategic investors


    The announcement shocked investors.


    In recent years, the profitability of these two banks is the strongest and fastest growing among global banks, and their share prices have more than doubled.


    The announcement made them suspicious and worried. The benefits of the bank are so good now that the controlling shareholders reduce their holdings, I think they are not optimistic about the future.


    Some people wait and see, some reduce their holdings, and some quietly absorb them, but on the whole, the stock price has fallen.


    Even if the board secretary came forward to explain, it could not stop the downward trend of share price.


    On September 14, the two banks announced again that the share of the largest shareholder decreased to 40%


    Two consecutive announcements surprised investors and speculated what had happened to the two banks; After reading the list of new major shareholders, I found that the sources of major shareholders are indeed diversified.


    In these two equity changes, the two banks have introduced seven new shareholders from the mainland, Saudi Arabia and South Africa, with banking background and industrial background; Among the original shareholders, three minority shareholders increased their holdings of the two banks, the highest of which reached 16.8% and 9.7% of the standard bank, which greatly exceeded the original proportion of 5%.


    Once again, those investors who were still hesitant began to sell their shares, making the original falling share price continue to fall, and the trend was more fierce, falling by 5% on the same day.


    Secretary Tung can no longer solve the problem, but long Jianhua can only come forward. He is the controlling shareholder, and the fluctuation of stock price is caused by his reduction.


    He talked freely at the press conference.


    The original absolute control of the two banks was due to the needs of operation and the need to quickly implement the corporate culture of Chongshi group; Now the appropriate reduction is for long-term development, introducing more words and exploring a broader profit model. Now it is still holding.


    Absolute control has the advantages of absolute control. The ideas of controlling shareholders can be implemented quickly, many problems can be solved quickly, and the effect of one word decision can be achieved; The introduction of new shareholders has the advantage of introducing new shareholders, that is, they can open their minds, absorb more ideas and promote the healthy and stable development of the bank.


    The purpose of the reduction is to develop the bank better, to bring more benefits to shareholders and shareholders, and to make everyone''s investment value for money.


    Please rest assured that this equity change is not a problem in your financial situation, but purely for the development of the bank. As long as banks can develop rapidly, all parties can obtain more benefits, including themselves


    With his explanation, the investors'' mentality stabilized and the stock prices of the two banks entered the consolidation period.


    On September 21 and 22, xiangdao bank and Standard Bank held the re-election of the board of directors respectively, adding four directors, four directors representing the interests of long Jianhua, and both hired an independent director. The directors of both banks are nine, and the chairman is still two persons designated by long Jianhua


    On the evening of the 22nd, at the reception of the board of directors of the standard bank, Prince Awali, who was elected as the new director of the standard bank, smiled and said, "Mr. long, I have paid a lot of money for the standard bank. I hope my capital can appreciate rapidly."


    After Zhang Sheng said that he had pulled in state-owned funds, long Jianhua suddenly thought of Prince avali. At this time, the prince is no longer the prince a few years ago. His assets are expanding rapidly. Last year, he was on the world rich list.


    It was said that he wanted to reduce the shares of the two banks. Prince avali decided to take over some of them. Later, according to his financial resources, he bought 6% of the shares of standard bank.


    Even if long Jianhua transfers 6% of the shares of Standard Chartered Bank to him at a 20% discount from the market value, it will cost nearly $20 billion. He doesn''t have so much money on hand, but he makes loans from the bank through stock pledge to achieve his desire to intervene in the bank.


    Unlike long Jianhua, who hesitated for a long time to enter the banking industry, Prince Awali responded positively to the news that he wanted to transfer bank shares and wanted to put all the shares he wanted to transfer into his pocket; It''s a pity that my strength is not enough. I can only buy 6% of the shares of standard bank in order to achieve my wish to enter the bank.


    Of course, long Jianhua would not say that he heard the wind. Someone wanted to start with the bank and was forced to sell his shares. He smiled, "although the share price fell, it is still above your purchase price. At least first, there is no loss."


    "The prince also has to trust the management team of our bank. You have seen the relevant statements. There are two main sources of profit for us. One is the difference between deposit and loan. Because Chongshi group is in, it is very stable. In the future, prince will not give these profits to others. "


    Prince Awali laughed, "I''m also a major shareholder, which is natural."


    Long Jianhua continued, "the second main channel is financial investment, which is risky. It can be said that the team has unique vision, or they are lucky. These investments are huge wins. This is due to Mr. Shimada''s prediction of the economic trend, which made the group''s investment come to fruition. "


    Prince Awali nodded. "I''m surprised at that. Among many investments, I don''t see a failure. I can''t understand the gold futures investment here. There is only one failure. Every other investment is a sure win. Do they have such a strong prediction ability? "


    For so many years, speculation in gold futures has only lost money once, which can not be said to be a miracle in the industry.


    This is also why long Jianhua does not want to diversify his equity; More people know, the risk of making money from this market will increase in the future; But fortunately, as long as the confidentiality work is done well, it will not be known by many people. After all, the board of directors does not intervene in daily management.


    He smiled. "It''s so magical."


    Where is magic? It is purely because he is a prophet, and Shimada is very sensitive to the world economy. The combination of the two makes him lose money only once. Zhang Sheng once had too much confidence in his prediction, so thanks to one.


    Prince Awali sighed, "if possible, I''m willing to follow them to fry gold futures. It''s too fast to make money."


    This is the idea of the vast majority of people. Who is willing to work hard one by one to make quick money?


    Long Jianhua shook his head. "It''s still risky, so the bank only takes a small amount of money to hype, and can''t take it as the main way for the bank to make money... Although at present, the profits generated here are the most; In the future, this will become secondary, or even no longer invest in this area. "


    Prince Awali nodded.
