    Two hundred and eighty million U.S. dollars, invested in two years, turned into more than 70 billion U.S. dollars, a return rate of nearly 300 times. This is simply more exaggerated than robbing money. Such a powerful investment company would not win it over to Citigroup.  The company's team is simply outrageous.

    Although there is a desire to win over, the three Zhao brothers of Hong Kong Star Investment are all Hong Kong people. If you want Hong Kong Star Investment to become a major shareholder of Citibank, one shareholder must have American citizenship.

    As shareholders of Hong Kong Star Investment, the whereabouts of the three Zhao brothers have always been mysterious. Reed sent people to Hong Kong several times to contact the three Zhao brothers, hoping to persuade one of them to apply to immigrate to the United States after the meeting. However, he was told that the three were not in Hong Kong. Later, he found Citibank  Only after Peter, the president of the Asian region, did he learn that the three Zhao brothers had new investments in the process of execution.

    Hong Kong Star Investment has taken new action!  This time, Citigroup shareholders did not hesitate and immediately mobilized US$15 billion, preparing to make a fortune following Hong Kong Star Investment.

    As a result, during the U.S. stock market crash in October 1987, Citigroup made a huge profit, earning a huge profit of nearly 50 billion U.S. dollars. Not only did it make up for its previous investment losses, but it also made hundreds of millions.  billion, the entire company's assets once again reached more than 100 billion US dollars.

    This strengthened the determination of Citigroup shareholders to win over Hong Kong Star Investment, so when Zhao Zhendong and Zhao Zhennan came to the United States again, Reed and three other core directors of Citigroup immediately came to the door and enthusiastically proposed  Need help.

    It turned out that Reed learned about Zhao Zhendong's desire to immigrate to the United States from IBM President Akers, who had a good relationship with him. He thought that the opportunity had come. Zhao Zhendong obtained American citizenship, and that brought Hong Kong Star Investment into Citigroup.  There would be no legal hindrance to the board of directors.

    After discussion by the board of directors, all members agreed that they should help Zhao Zhendong with the immigration procedures. If they took this opportunity to build a relationship with him, then it would be logical to propose Hong Kong Star Investment to become a major shareholder of Citigroup.  .

    Reed and others came to invite Hong Kong Star Investment to join the board of directors of Citicorp. This was unexpectedly subtle for the Zhao Zhendong brothers. As the wealth controlled by Hong Kong Star Group grew rapidly, it was indeed necessary to find a bank to invest and buy shares to facilitate the investment.  Adjustment and settlement of internal funds of Hong Kong Star Group in the future.

    Citibank, under the name of Citigroup, is one of the major shareholders of the Federal Reserve, the U.S. currency-issuing institution. It owns 15% of the shares of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, the actual controller of the Federal Reserve system. If Hong Kong Star Investment can enter the board of directors of Citigroup and become a shareholder,  It is equivalent to being recognized by some financial groups in the United States.

    With such a coveted thing coming to his doorstep, Zhao Zhendong had no reason not to agree. After a back-and-forth negotiation with the ten board members of Citicorp, he finally succeeded in reaching a final agreement.

    Hong Kong Star Investment injected US$15 billion, and the ten shareholders of Citigroup sold their shares in Citigroup at a ratio of 10% each. Hong Kong Star Investment finally obtained 10% of Citigroup shares, successfully becoming the fourth largest investor in Citigroup.  shareholder.

    Relying on its status as the fourth largest shareholder of Citigroup, the share acquisitions of several companies that Hong Kong Star Investment plans to acquire in this round have basically gone very smoothly.

    Companies such as Texas Instruments, Qualcomm, and General Motors, which sold Houston Aircraft Manufacturing Company and Opel Motors, have successfully completed acquisitions. This series of acquisitions has cost nearly 30 billion in funds.  Citigroup's remaining ten shareholders marveled.

    However, regarding the most important target, which is AMD, Zhao Zhendong decided to temporarily postpone the acquisition and stopped all activities related to AMD.

    There are two reasons for this: First, Zhao Zhendong did not want to expose his goals so quickly. After acquiring several companies in a row, the US government has begun to pay attention to every move of the two Zhao Zhendong brothers.

    Secondly, after becoming the fourth largest shareholder of Citigroup, Citigroup also took shares in all the companies acquired by Hong Kong Star Investment, and basically became the major shareholders. Fortunately, Hong Kong Star Investment originally bought these companies during the stock market crash.  Otherwise, the purchase of about 30% of the shares would really fail to achieve the purpose of holding a shareholding.

    In order to avoid exposing their targets early, Zhao Zhendong and Zhao Zhennan had no choice but to stop all AMD-related activities. It was better for Zhao Zhenbei, who was hiding behind the scenes, to complete the final acquisition.

    Zhao Zhenbei is very satisfied that his two brothers can achieve such results, especially the fact that they bought shares in Citigroup, it is simply an unexpected surprise. You know??, becoming a major shareholder of Citigroup, which means that Hong Kong Star Investment has successfully entered the decision-making group of the US economy.

    The lawsuit between amd and Intel has just begun. The pressure on amd has not yet reached its limit, so it is not the best time to acquire. Zhao Zhenbei hopes to make an acquisition after Hong Kong Star Group officially comes on the stage. Then  Sometimes the effect is relatively better.

    "By the way, Third Brother! What level of leadership did you see when you went north this time?" Zhao Zhennan is obviously very interested in the domestic situation.

    Zhao Zhenbei showed a smile on his face: "Speaking of it, I am really lucky. I was interviewed by the legendary Mr. Deng. Mr. Deng also talked to me about the domestic economic reform and opening up policy. In the future, foreign capital will be welcomed in the country.  To invest in the mainland, of course, the prerequisite is to act in accordance with China¡¯s legal provisions!¡±

    "In other words, we have plans to establish an automobile production base in China? We have provided such important information this time, so the country should give us corresponding preferential policies, right? Tell us, what are the advantages we all have?"

    Zhao Zhenbei laughed and scolded: "You know how to ask for conditions from the country! Mr. Deng said that many domestic policies related to foreign investment have not yet been introduced, so we cannot give a definite answer. However, he promised that if we build inland  Factory, the preferential conditions given to us by Hong Kong Star Group must be unmatched by other foreign investors! This guarantee should be strong, right? Mr. Deng has already greeted the heads of many local government departments and asked them to read the notice when we invest.  Wait! Are you satisfied, Second Young Master?"

    "That's enough! When we go to invest in a place, the most fearful thing is that the local government will argue with you. Now that we have Mr. Deng's guarantee, we can go to the mainland to build factories with confidence!" Zhao Zhennan shouted happily.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
