Chapter 552 Honorary Chairman
conference room
In the Hang Seng Bank shareholders meeting room, more than 20 directors, shareholders and shareholder representatives remained silent after some discussions.
He Shan was sitting in the first place. There was no emotion or joy on his face, but he couldn't help but feel angry in his heart.
Sure enough, people take tea to cool down, and this principle remains unchanged through the ages.
Before he could leave, the expressions of all the directors and shareholders changed, and they lost their previous enthusiasm. No matter how bad his words were, not many agreed.
In addition to He Shanheng, there were two other people present with ugly expressions, namely Hang Seng Bank Vice Chairman He Yan and General Manager Li Guowei.
No matter how ugly the faces of the three people were, the directors and shareholders pretended not to notice. To them, it didn't matter who was in charge of Hang Seng Bank, because the decision-making power did not lie in the hands of small shareholders like them.
Now that the major shareholder of Hang Seng Bank has changed, it is no longer up to He Shanheng and the others to decide where Hang Seng Bank should go. There is no need for them to offend the future new owner of Hang Seng Bank for the sake of these three people.
The shareholders' thinking is very simple. Regardless of whether they are shareholders of Hang Seng or not, the new boss of Hang Seng Bank is not something they can offend, let alone one they can compete with.
They can sit here, and their status is naturally not comparable to that of retail investors. Each director and shareholder has their own information channels. Before the new major shareholder comes, they cannot express their opinions casually.
People like this can obtain a controlling stake in Hang Seng Bank from HSBC. Regardless of whether HSBC is behind it or not, Hang Seng Bank alone is not something they can afford to offend.
As for the reason
very simple
The industries owned by shareholders are more or less related to Hang Seng Bank. They can just watch this kind of internal power struggle and there is no need to get involved.
Otherwise, I don’t know how I died in the end.
‘Click’ The door to the conference room was opened from outside.
Everyone looked towards the door, and when they saw Yang Chen's figure appeared, their eyes lit up.
Entering the conference room, Yang Chen glanced at the people in the conference room, then raised his hands and said: "Everyone, I'm sorry, I'm late."
Under everyone's surprised gazes, Yang Chen walked straight to He Shanheng and bent slightly.
Without waiting for Yang Chen to speak, He Shanheng immediately stood up from his position and asked, "Yang Sheng, what are you doing?"
Yang Chen smiled and said, "Hello, Mr. He. When I came here, Uncle Xue asked you to say hello."
"Your father-in-law?" He Shanheng was slightly startled.
"Yes" Yang Chen nodded slightly.
Two days ago, after Xue's father learned about his acquisition of Hang Seng Bank, he specifically talked to him for a while. The reason was just to ask him to pay attention and not to embarrass He Shanheng.
When Xue's father founded Xue's Manufacturing Industry in the early years, he also received favors from He Shanheng. Although it was said that it was a favor, it was not necessarily true. The main business of the bank was deposits and lending.
But, in the Chinese concept, if you lend me money, no matter who accepts it or how you borrow it, it is a favor. The only difference is how deep or shallow it is.
Xue's father, who knew Yang Chen's character, specially called Yang Chen to his home and gave him solemn instructions.
Hang Seng Bank has been based in Hong Kong for decades, and it has helped countless people. Once Yang Chen and He Shan cross paths, there will only be harm but no benefit.
After chatting with Yang Chen for a few words, He Shanheng couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Looking at the young and exaggerated young man in front of him, He Shanheng didn't know how to deal with it next.
They gave him enough face as soon as he came, and he showed off his attitude as a junior. He is an eighty-year-old man, and if Yang Chen returns empty-handed today, it will be hard to tell how the news will spread outside in the future.
After all, Yang Chen holds 51% of the shares of Hang Seng Bank, and He Shanheng has reached the age of retirement. Although Hang Seng Bank was founded by a few of them old guys, in this capital society,
Who cares about this?
He Shanheng: "Yang Sheng, let's sit down and talk first."
Hearing this, Yang Chen nodded, walked straight to the opposite side of the long table and sat down.
Without Yang Chen's instructions, Huo Jianhuang, who had been following him all the time, distributed the printed information to each director and shareholder.
After the directors and shareholders received the information, they didn't say much, looked through it, and then turned their attention to the HSBC shareholder representatives.
Originally, HSBC had a total of four representatives at Hang Seng Bank, but three of them left a few days ago, leaving only one shareholder representative to continue to exercise shareholder rights on behalf of HSBC.
When the shareholder representative of HSBC saw the transfer contract that Yang Chen took out, he smiled and nodded to everyone. He had already received a call from the chief executive, asking him to fully support whatever decision Yang Chen made today.
Seeing this, the directors and shareholders suddenly fell silent. Although everyone was mentally prepared, they were still shocked.
Yang Chen smiled and said: "Director He, I heard that you are ready to retire. The younger generation is not talented. As a major shareholder, I proposed that Director He be the permanent honorary chairman of Hang Seng Bank. In the future, as long as Hang Seng Bank is still around, Director He will
One day he was the honorary chairman of Hang Seng Bank."
"..."
When everyone heard Yang Chen's proposal, they looked at each other for a moment, "Permanent Honorary Chairman", this title can be considered important or not.
However, when He Shanheng heard Yang Chen's proposal, he couldn't help but feel moved. Although the permanent honorary chairman was only in name, he also recognized He Shanheng's contribution to Hang Seng Bank.
Earning fame before and after life is like this for the ancients. No matter how good or arrogant he is, he cannot escape the common custom.
Seeing that everyone was silent, Yang Chen grinned and said: "Dear shareholders and representatives, I wonder what my proposal is like. Do you agree or disagree?"
When Yang Chen was talking, he specifically took a look at the HSBC representative.
Seeing this, the HSBC representative took the lead and said, "I support Yang Sheng's proposal" without waiting for other shareholders to speak.
With the HSBC representative at the beginning, everyone was no longer silent and expressed their agreement.
However, He Shanheng did not interrupt from beginning to end, and even He Yan and Li Guowei beside him remained silent.
Although the two of them knew that once He Shanheng took over the title of honorary chairman, he would have to give up his position as chairman, but He Shanheng didn't say anything, so how could they stop him.
No matter He Shanheng, He Yan, or Li Guowei knew very well that the position of chairman of Hang Seng Bank could not be maintained today no matter what.
Since Yang Chen did not meet with He Shanheng in private beforehand, then the other party was obviously determined to win the position of chairman.
In this way, even if they intend to stop it, it will be useless, because Yang Chen holds 51% of the shares of Hang Seng Bank, and he has the right to make all decisions of Hang Seng Bank.
Chapter completed!
