Chapter 1080 The largest bank in Africa!

Why is there the word "Standard" in front of Zada ​​Bank? It's precisely because it is related to Standard Bank.

In 1862, the Standard Bank of South Philippines was incorporated in South Philippines and operated as the South Philippines branch of the Standard Bank of Country Y.

In 1969, the Standard Bank Group of South Philippines was established as the controlling shareholder of Standard Bank of South Philippines.

That year, Standard Bank and Standard Chartered Bank merged to form Standard Chartered Bank.

Due to the apartheid policy in South Philippines that triggered international economic sanctions, Standard Chartered Bank withdrew from South Philippines in 1987 and sold 39% of its shares, making Standard Bank of South Philippines a completely South Philippine bank.

However, since then Standard Bank of South Philippines has established a network in South Philippines through greenfields and acquisitions. Standard Bank has since become Africa's largest bank through its own growth and acquisitions.

Through further acquisitions in Argentina, Nigeria, Turkey and other countries, Standard Bank has operations in 28 countries, with 713 branches in South Africa and 240 branches in 18 other African countries. institutions, with hundreds of branches in financial centers in Europe, America and Asia.

It is not only the largest bank in South Africa, but also the largest bank in Africa.

This time, Yang Ming knew that if he swallowed up Standard Bank, he would not only swallow up Bank of South Philippines, including Xiangjiang Bank, but also become the major shareholder of Standard Bank of South Philippines, and even get more money from South Philippines. In the case of Standard Bank shares, it is even possible to hold and control the largest bank in Africa.

In his previous life, Yang Ming had been in Africa for a long time. If Standard Bank was controlled, he knew what it meant.

This means.

This time swallowing up the standard bank is the top priority.

"Boss, are you saying you want to acquire Zada ​​Bank?" Barlow was a little surprised.

But, it feels normal.

After all, Imperial Group's business now spans the world. If it controls more multinational banks, it will be safer for Imperial Group's capital inflows and outflows.

Even at this time, the Imperial Group already controlled more than a dozen Chinese-owned banks in Xiangjiang, and even controlled the largest credit union in Bay Area.

In Barlow's view, it really wasn't enough.

If you can swallow the standard punch bank, it is indeed a good filling.

"This is the best year to swallow up Standard Bank."

When Yang Ming talked with Barlow, Barlow already understood.

He was really surprised.

Although the boss is in Hong Kong, he is very clear about things in London.

Finish talking to Barlow about this.

Barlow also went back to his home in Xiangjiang first, the mountainside villa Yang Ming gave him.

Barlow leaves.

Kayla is still here.

Looking at Kayla, Yang Ming found that after so many years of knowing her, Kayla still seemed to be the same and had not changed much.

"Sir, why do you look at me like that?" Keira asked strangely.

"Kayla, I realize you haven't changed."

"No way, I feel a lot older."

Women are very sensitive to age, especially European and American women.

Even though Yang Ming said that, Keira still noticed that after she turned thirty, she began to decline in all aspects.

Yang Ming took her hand and said, "Stay with me tonight."

"Ah I."

Kayla seemed a little unresponsive for a moment.

Although there has been such meaning between the two of them for a long time.

"Sarah and Diana are having a baby soon. You should go see them."

Both Sarah and Diana were pregnant in May, and now in February, they are nearly nine months old. Under normal circumstances, they would give birth either at the end of February or at the beginning of March.

Keira had already known about Sarah and Diana's pregnancy.

"Sir, let me go see Miss Sarah and Miss Diana first."

After Keira left.

Yang Ming stayed in the study.

. . .

When he afternoon.

Keira went to meet Sarah and Diana. Seeing the two sisters pregnant with round bellies, she really envied them, especially since Diana had given birth to Sir Yang's first son. Gui, next, regardless of whether the child is a boy or a girl, in Keira's opinion, Diana's status with Yang Ming must have stabilized.

Waiting for Kayla to come back for dinner.

Yang Ming, Kayla, Yang Jirong and his wife, Alina, Yingla and others had dinner there together.

Like Alina and Yingla, they are all new here, and this is the first time for Keira to meet them. However, Keira also quickly got to know the two women.

After dinner.

Yang Ming returned to the study upstairs.

Keira didn't drive back to her mountainside villa in Xiangjiang and stayed here directly.

While watching Sir Yang reading there, Keira talked about the situation in London from time to time.

"You mean that Princess Leslie gave birth to a little princess for the second time?"

"Yes, she is still a little princess. I went to give them gifts on your behalf."

Although the royal family still favors sons over daughters, now that Princess Leslie has given birth to daughters, the Queen and Prince Charles can only accept it.

. . .

22:30 in the evening.

When Yang Ming went to take a shower, Kayla had already returned to the room.

When Yang Ming returned to the master room, he saw Kayla in her nightgown already waiting for him.

Have a night's rest.

Early the next day.

Yang Ming woke up, but Keira on the pillow had not yet woken up.

Yang Ming got up and washed up.

Get outside.

Today is the 29th of the twelfth lunar month, and the weather in Xiangjiang is still very good.

Clear skies.

It seems that this year’s New Year’s Eve and Spring Festival in Hong Kong will be another very lively holiday.

Wait until Kayla gets up.

After Yang Ming, Kayla and others finished breakfast.

Keira drove herself back to her mountainside villa.

Yang Ming returned upstairs.

11:45 am.

Yuan Tianfan, who is far away in Silicon Valley, has returned.

Yuan Tianfan sat for fourteen consecutive hours before flying back to Xiangjiang.

When he got off the plane, he immediately wanted to see his girlfriend Li Huimin.

However, he knew that he had to go to Repulse Bay Mid-Levels Villa to meet his boss first.

When Yuan Tianfan was taken to the mid-level villa in Repulse Bay by Yang Ming's bodyguard.

After getting off the car, Yang Ming first saw Yuan Tianfan, who was tall and steady. He felt that his temperament was really good in all aspects. No wonder he was able to be reused by Li Jiacheng and his son in history.

"Boss, I'm back."

Yuan Tianfan followed Yang Ming to the study. Yang Ming looked at him and asked, "Do you really want to see Li Huimin?"

"Boss, work comes first."

This is what Li Huimin told him, and Yuan Tianfan naturally wrote it down.

This time, the supercomputer software company founded by Yang Ming in Silicon Valley was listed in Hong Kong and New York at the same time, with a market value exceeding HK$60 billion. In Silicon Valley, even M Country Capital has caused a lot of activity.

Next, Oracle, invested by Yang Ming, will be listed in Hong Kong and New York at the same time. Although its market value may not be as high as that of supercomputer software companies, it can still have a market value of 20 to 30 billion Hong Kong dollars.

Especially now that Oracle has begun to monopolize the global database market.
