Chapter 1101 Officially Taking over Standard Chartered Bank!

Early in the morning of the next day.

Ma Shimin and William flew directly from Hong Kong to London International Airport.

The two had just arrived at London International Airport.

At this time, Myles, Barlow, and Kayla were already waiting for them.

The two took a car to Jazz Manor.

At Jazz Manor.

Myles and Ma Shimin talked alone.

In fact, Myles didn't expect that the boss would let Ma Shimin take over Standard Jardine Bank.

However, before Standard Jardine Bank was acquired, Yang Ming had already confirmed with the two.

Among them.

The headquarters of Standard Jardine Bank is still in London, but the main office is in Hong Kong.

In other words, after the Empire Group acquired Standard Jardine Bank, it is actually the same as the Leland Group. The headquarters of the Leland Group is also in London. In fact, the Asian headquarters in Hong Kong is the real headquarters.

This time is also a similar model.

This time Ma Shimin will take some of the executives of Standard Jardine Bank back to Hong Kong after dealing with the Standard Bank headquarters.

Otherwise, how could he, an important cabinet member of the Empire Group and Yang Ming's right-hand man, stay here for a long time?

"General Manager, William is outside."

William is the general manager of Standard Bank in Hong Kong. He has taken the initiative to approach Yang Ming. He is the person available now. However, before William came to London, he had mentioned to Sir Yang that he wanted to stay in Hong Kong or live in Japan instead of returning to London.

Otherwise, William could actually be in charge of the London headquarters.

"Let him come in, let's talk to him."

When William came in, he was still a little different when facing the second and third figures of the Empire Group.

Merrith asked many questions about the internal problems of Standard Bank and those of the senior management. William told him everything he knew.

This is basically the same as the information that Merrith and Barlow had investigated in advance.

"Mr. William, go back and rest first, or meet your relatives and friends. The closing meeting will be held at the Standard Bank Building tomorrow morning."

At this time, the heads of Standard Bank branches around the world have already flown to London to attend tomorrow's meeting.

In addition to the issues related to the original management, there are also issues related to the future of Standard Bank.

. . .

After William said goodbye to Merrith and Ma Shimin.

Merlis and Ma Shimin stayed at Jazz Manor.

However, early the next morning.

The two of them, along with Kayla and Barlow, left Jazz Manor early and took a car to a building in the City of London.

This is the global headquarters of Standard Bank.

Merlis, Ma Shimin, Barlow, Kayla and others came over, with Merlis and Ma Shimin's bodyguards behind them. They had just arrived here, and the security personnel of Standard Bank looked at them differently.

Merlis and Barlow came here for the first time to meet with the executives of Standard Bank in secret. They originally wanted to get their consent and then acquire Standard Bank. Who would have thought that they regarded the Empire Group as the Lloyds Bank.

Now that the Empire Group has easily swallowed up Standard Bank, these executives of Standard Bank may be embarrassed to see Merlis again.

In fact, it is not like that.

Here, they are all white people, and people like Ma Shimin, Kayla, and Barlow are still authentic Y people.

Go upstairs to the meeting room.

In addition to William, the general manager of Hong Kong Jardine Bank, there are dozens of executives here, including the general managers of India Jardine Bank, Singapore Jardine Bank, Siam Jardine Bank, Australia Jardine Bank, and its subsidiary United Bank, etc., all of whom flew here from all over the world immediately after receiving messages and calls from the headquarters.

After the arrival of Merritt and Ma Shimin, these people immediately surrounded Merritt and Ma Shimin and greeted them warmly and respectfully under William's introduction.

At this time, Merritt is the general manager of the Imperial Group Cabinet, Ma Shimin is the general manager of Hong Kong Overseas Trust Bank, a member of the Imperial Group Cabinet, and has many titles.

Most importantly, these two people have also been granted titles by the royal family.

It is obvious that the strength of the Imperial Group is not only much stronger than that of the Rhys Bank, but also far exceeds that of the original Standard Jardine Bank.

Merritt, Ma Shimin, Barlow, Kayla and others know these people separately.

The original management of Standard Jardine Bank, which originally had 12% of the shares, is now the second largest shareholder of Standard Jardine Bank, and is also the original management.

This time, they were unable to stop the barbarians like the Empire Group, and the management has split.

Obviously, there are now three factions here.

One faction accepts the Empire Group to enter Standard Bank.

One faction still rejects the Empire Group's entry into Standard Bank. These executives have prepared their resignation letters and are ready to switch to other banks in Country Y.

There is another faction. For them, it doesn't matter whether it is Lloyds Bank or the Empire Group. It seems to be the same.

This closing meeting has not yet started, and the atmosphere is already a little different.

However, Mai Lisi directly took out a notice and said: "The Empire Group has officially acquired Standard Bank. Here, on behalf of Sir Yang, Chairman of the Empire Group, the Empire Group Cabinet, and the Empire Group Secretariat, I announce the personnel changes of Standard Bank."

Personnel changes so soon?

"Among them, Mr. Ma Shimin, the former general manager of Hong Kong Overseas Trust Bank, will replace the position of Jules, the former chairman of Standard Bank." Ma Shimin announced directly.

It turned out that Jules, the chairman of Standard Bank, was very surprised. He did not expect that in front of so many people, Myles directly announced in public that Ma Shimin would take over his position.

Of course, the Empire Group now owns 59% of Standard Bank's shares. In addition, there is also Lloyds Bank and some executives who have completely stood on the side of the Empire Group. Their remaining management only has a few percent of the shares. At the shareholders' meeting, except for one remaining seat, all are shareholders of the Empire Group.

Jules felt a little uncomfortable.

Ma Shimin sat directly in Jules' current position as a matter of course.

Myles, Barlow, Kayla and others sat aside.

In other words, from this moment on, Ma Shimin officially took over Standard Bank.

"Everyone, the Empire Group's acquisition of Standard Bank is legal and compliant. If any executive does not want to continue to work at Standard Bank or has any opinions about the Empire Group, leave now. As for compensation and related benefits, everything will be paid in accordance with the contract and laws and regulations."

Ma Shimin finished speaking and glanced at Jules and others.

Jules was now stripped of his position and replaced by Ma Shimin. He handed in his prepared resignation letter and left with his trusted executives and some executives who were willing to leave with him.

When the door to the conference room was closed, Ma Shimin asked again: "Who else is unwilling to stay? I can give you five minutes to consider. However, if you still stay, you must really work for the Empire Group and Standard Chartered Bank."
