Rebirth

Completed the first contact with Standard Chartered’s controllers. In Li Feng’s view, the effect is actually pretty good. Although the chairman and Levin Goldston, the head of the Goldstone family, are gone, there are also 2 directors and several Shareholder representatives, but there are only about 10% of the shares over there. Li Feng really doesn't worry at all. Li Feng has some ways to deal with them.

Similarly, for Standard Bank of South Africa, Li Feng is definitely not a whim. Even an investment is worthwhile. The former Standard Bank was not acquired by ICBC afterwards. It seems that the first time ICBC was acquired around 2008 and spent about US$5 billion. Acquired 20% of the shares, and later acquired 40% of the shares again, directly controlling 60% of the shares.

Obviously, from the acquisition and merger by Standard Chartered to the later acquisition by ICBC, for the controlling shareholders of Standard Bank, they did not object to the acquisition, as long as they reached their psychological price, and Standard Chartered had another advantage, that is, it used to be. It has been merged once, and the foundation for cooperation has already been established, and it should be easier to negotiate.

If Li Feng comes to the acquisition, even if he sells it in the future, he can make a lot of money. What's more, what does the acquisition of the bank represent. The bank is the easiest to control the local local economy. As the largest bank in Africa, Standard Bank of South Africa is the largest bank in Africa. As a result, its influence on Africa is huge.

Naturally, there is another that Li Feng is a little depressed when he sees the name StandardChartered, which is an inaccurate bank name. He may simply remove the standard and change the name to Standard Chartered. Such an inaccurate title is really a bit of a misnomer. .

In short, Li Feng is really moved by Standard Bank of South Africa.

...

"John, this is Mr. Ma Zhengang, China's ambassador to the UK, and this is Mr. Liu Weiguo, the representative of Joaquin Capital London." Wang Siqing led four Chinese men into the villa and introduced to Li Feng.

Not long after Li Feng returned home, Wang Siqing led a few Chinese into the mansion, and Li Feng immediately greeted him.

"Ambassador Ma and Manager Liu, hello, I am glad to meet you!" Li Feng first stretched out his hand and smiled at the first two.

"Hello, Mr. Li, I have always heard that Mr. Li speaks Chinese very well. I didn't expect it to be so good. It's not as well-known as to meet. It's almost like a person who grew up in China."

"Mr. Ambassador, you are polite, Manager Liu, please sit down!" Li Feng said to everyone with a smile.

"I have always heard that Mr. Li has a heart for China, but now he is investing heavily in China, helping China to develop its economy a lot. I only express my gratitude personally." Ambassador Ma started to do routines as soon as he sat down, which made Li Feng's heart Tucao endlessly.

"..."

After some polite remarks, I finally came to the point.

"Mr. Li, now you also have a controlling stake in Standard Chartered Bank. We congratulate you on this. It is said that Huajin Capital also owns almost 5% of the shares in Standard Chartered. In the future, we need to strengthen our ties."

"Oh, why didn't your representatives participate in today's board of directors?" Li Feng asked in surprise.

"No way, Mr. Li should be clear. Although we have got some shares, the company management and the board of directors can't get involved. We have previously proposed to establish a Standard Chartered (China) company in Hong Kong, which will include the right to issue notes in Hong Kong. They were all put in the Huaxia Company, but unfortunately, they have not been recognized by the London headquarters."

"Oh, that's how it is!"

...

At this time, Li Feng still didn't understand. He was here to find out what he wanted to say, to see if Li Feng would let go of the establishment of Standard Chartered China, and then delegate the right to issue Hong Kong dollars in Hong Kong.

"Manager Liu, I personally support the establishment of China Xia Corporation, and in the future, I can consider listing Standard Chartered China Xia Corporation directly in Xiangjiang, but this cannot be determined in a short time. Now we have just begun to take over Standard Chartered and it will take time. "

Li Feng really doesn't mind. The original plan was to list Standard Chartered in London and Hong Kong. If possible, it could also be listed in New York.

Now the proposal to establish Huaxia Company has reminded Li Feng that it is entirely possible to give all of Standard Chartered’s business in Meidi to Huamei, and merge to form Standard Chartered Meidi, so that it can be listed on the deck.

If this is the case, then it is necessary to establish a global Standard Chartered Holding Group company, and then under the jurisdiction of Standard Chartered China and the United States and the remaining Standard Chartered Bank, if it can acquire South African Standard Bank, then it can be directly based on South African Standard Bank. Basically, set up an African company to be listed in South Africa, thus forming four listings.

The more Li Feng thinks about it, the more he feels that it is feasible. The four companies operate independently but have four branches and global cooperation and cooperation. It is definitely a good idea. More importantly, it is more likely to acquire all parties. Up.

After all, if they operate separately, their respective listings will have even smaller restrictions on the rights of the acquiree.For example, if Standard Bank makes an acquisition, even if it succeeds, it will be listed in Africa as a bank African company, so that it will not arouse too much resentment from the original Standard Bank shareholders, directors, management, etc.

...

"Really, if it can be recognized by Mr. Li, it would be the best. As for the time, it is a certain amount. After all, this is not a trivial matter." Liu Weiguo replied excitedly after receiving Li Feng's verbal response.

Obviously, Huaxia wants to enter the Standard Chartered board of directors is urgent, and Huaxia is like this. It is related to the right to issue banknotes in Xiangjiang. Huaxia naturally hopes to take it back. Li Feng, who has been a Chinese for a lifetime, naturally understands it. thought.

The history of the previous life has proven that Standard Chartered did not set up Huaxia Company afterwards, and finally went public in Xiangjiang. Obviously, the previous Standard Chartered could not withstand the pressure. After all, Xiangjiang has returned and his arms cannot twist his legs. Since it is destined Naturally, Li Feng would not object to the result, so as not to cause discomfort on both sides.

"In principle, I agree, and I will also support you in joining Standard Chartered China's board of directors, but I don't care about the specific details. I will tell you to go on and discuss it. Of course, I will pay attention to it."

"Then you see, after the establishment of Standard Chartered China, can our Chinese capital increase the share of shares in it?" Liu Weiguo asked hesitantly.

"Want to expand the shares?" Li Feng couldn't help but asked amusedly.

"I have this idea. After all, 5% of the shares are still a bit small."

"Um... it's not impossible to consider it, but I have the conditions!" As his eyes rolled, Li Feng couldn't help but smile.

At this time, Li Feng couldn't help thinking of the companies in China that he coveted.

...

"You say?"

"I heard that you accepted Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley's investment in Ping An Insurance this year. I also want to get involved. What do you think?" Li Feng replied with a smile.

"safety Insurance?"

"Yes, Ping An Insurance!"

"..."

Yes, now that he is busy with financial affairs, Li Feng suddenly thought of Ping An Insurance at this time. This is the top tens of companies in the future 500 companies with a market value of hundreds of billions of dollars. The benefits can be huge.Now that Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley are allowed to buy shares, it shouldn't be a big problem to have one more Li Feng. Isn't this a chance to come here?
