Chapter 207

Li Feng was very relieved about Bill Weibei. In fact, he did not disappoint Li Feng. Within two days, Bill pulled up a negotiation team, including lawyers, accountants, asset management, negotiators, etc. the next week, Li Feng also paid attention to the negotiation between bill and Huamei at any time.

"Boss, this is the situation now. The boss behind Huamei hopes to meet you."

In the office, Bill made a detailed report with Li Feng on his recent contact with Huamei. It turned out that the boss behind Huamei bank wanted to bang with Li Feng.

"Oh, who's the boss back there?" Li Feng asked with great interest.

"This is the basic information of our investigation. There is no more detailed information for the time being." Bill handed a document to Li Feng and said.

"Unexpectedly, this is the case behind Huamei." Quickly read it, Li Feng said to himself.

Li Feng did not expect that the boss behind Huamei was all from the Chinese family in Indonesia. The boss behind Huamei was Lin Dexiang. Unfortunately, Li Feng, who was ignorant in his previous life, had never heard of it.

However, after reading the information, I knew that this family really can not be underestimated. The family's assets are more than US $1 billion and US $2 billion. It is also one of the famous Chinese American rich families in Southeast Asia.

……

After studying in the United States in the 1960s, Lin Dexiang returned to the family business development. With smart investment vision and excellent enterprise management ability, he developed the family business Jiatong group into the main vehicle tire manufacturing, including banking, real estate, agriculture, energy, computer, paint and other industries.

Today, the Lin Dexiang family is famous in Hong Kong and Southeast Asia. Even in the traditional rich circle in Hong Kong and Southeast Asia, it is also one of the top families.

At the beginning, it was Lin Dexiang and his wife who invested in Huamei. Obviously, the leader of the Lin family was deeply rooted in the essence of investment. Although Huamei developed slowly in its hands, it was very stable and firmly rooted, and quietly extended its hand into the American banking industry and gained a firm foothold.

The history of later generations has proved that it is indeed correct. The shrewd Lin Dexiang has long valued the development of the mainland of China. After the outbreak of the Asian financial crisis, Indonesian Chinese were persecuted. Long ago, the Lin Dexiang family shifted its focus to the mainland of China.

It is also because of this relationship. It is said that later, relying on the United States and greater China, Huamei bank introduced a Chinese funded consortium.

After Huamei had the funds, it carried out a series of mergers and acquisitions, and finally became one of the 30 largest banks in the United States, with a market value of $5 or 6 billion and a manager of $30 or 40 billion in assets.

……

In 1991, he contacted Wu Jianmin, the current president of Huamei. At that time, Wu Jianmin was working in Deloitte accounting firm, mainly responsible for providing investment business consulting for customers from Asia.

Through Wu Jianmin's contact, he bought Huamei bank with us $40 million. Later, he also spent about 20 million to buy another bank that was going bankrupt. After the merger and reorganization of the two banks, it became Huamei bank with assets of nearly US $1 billion and market value of nearly US $100 million.

Under this premise, Wu Jianmin was valued by Lin Dexiang and his wife, was recruited to work in Huamei, and finally became the president of Huamei. According to the history of later generations, he was appointed chairman of Huamei after 98 years.

Now, through several years of steady development, Huamei bank has become a company with a market value of almost US $300 million or US $400 million relying on Chinatown. Obviously, the original investment should be regarded as a success. After all, the value has doubled in just a few years.

This time, the leader of the Lin family sent a message, hoping to meet Li Feng, a famous young genius in the United States. Naturally, Li Feng agreed with a smile.

……

In fact, the matter of taking shares was almost discussed. Li Feng invested US $100 million to acquire 25% of the shares of Huamei bank at a 20% premium, and then injected US $200 million for the bank to prepare for the next acquisition. Finally, he controlled 50% of the shares of Huamei bank group and became the controlling shareholder, that is, Huamei bank was valued at US $400 million, which was almost signed.

Thanks to the help of the management led by Wu Jianmin, Li Feng believes that Li Feng's participation can make the bank expand and develop rapidly, otherwise it will not be so smooth. Naturally, Li Feng's bid has reached the satisfaction of many shareholders.

Yes, in Meidi enterprises, these professional managers are so awesome. Many professional managers are much more powerful and powerful than the founders.

Naturally, large and small shareholders are not as stubborn as people think. Professional managers help shareholders get enough returns.

Obviously, the final signature may be what happened after Li Feng met Lin Dexiang. Since people put forward such a request, Li Feng will not refuse, although he doesn't know the reason why he met himself.

Of course, after signing, it still needs the approval of institutions such as China Banking Regulatory Commission, but such things only go down the procedure, and it is estimated that Meidi's institutions would also like to see Li Feng, a person of American descent, take control of Huamei bank.

Of course, if you are a Chinese enterprise or foreign capital to acquire a bank of Midea, the review will be strict.

……

"Hello, Mr. Lin!"

Two days later, under the recommendation of Wu Jianmin, Li Feng met Lin Dexiang, the capital controller behind Huamei, and the helmsman of Indonesia's Jiatong group and Lin family at the headquarters of Huamei bank in Los Angeles. It was said that he specially came from Indonesia yesterday.

"Hello, Mr. Li. I've heard of Mr. Li's deeds for a long time. I'm really a hero. I didn't expect that Mr. Li's Chinese is more standard than mine, who claims to be Chinese."

"Mr. Lin is flattered. The boy is just a fledgling boy. He needs your elders' care. I'm glad to cooperate with Mr. Lin this time. I hope we can maintain friendly cooperation and strive for greater cooperation in the future." Li Feng then smiled and replied.

Then both sides introduced their own casual personnel. Li Feng's side included negotiators, lawyers, asset management, finance, etc., while Huamei's side was Huamei's management and a number of large and small shareholders in addition to Lin Dexiang, the actual controller.

After learning about many shareholders, Li Feng was relieved that he did not find any shareholders with Chinese background. After all, if the country is involved, it may be more complicated.

Thinking, it seems that the capital injection with Chinese background should be after the Asian financial crisis.

After Wu Jianmin took everyone to the conference room, Lin Dexiang and Li Feng left the conference room and went to the chairman's office.

……

After they sat down, they chatted with the best Longjing tea brought in by the secretary.

"I heard that Mr. Li likes to drink Chinese tea. It seems true." Looking at Li Feng's skilled tea drinking action, Lin Dexiang immediately smiled.

"Ha ha... I don't know how to taste tea. It's just an affectation, which makes Mr. Lin laugh."

"Mr. Li, to tell you the truth, the original investment in the acquisition of Huamei was just to make use of the idle funds in my hands. You may already know that my main business is automobile tire manufacturing. After all, Indonesia's rubber is famous all over the world." Lin Dexiang laughed and joked to himself.

"Yes, speaking of Indonesia, Mr. Lin should be careful when he develops in Indonesia. Those aborigines like to bully the Chinese most, and the Indonesian Chinese have been persecuted all the time."

At this time, Li Feng thought of the persecution of Indonesian Chinese in future generations, and then kindly mentioned it.

Sure enough, hearing Li Feng's words, Lin Dexiang may seem to have found half of his confidants and talked about the situation of Chinese in Indonesia.

At the same time, he said that he has invested in the mainland and will focus on the mainland in the future, while Indonesia has only become a producer of rubber raw materials.

After chatting for a while, Lin Dexiang began to change the topic and talked about Li Feng's concern about taking a stake in Huamei this time.
