Chapter 705

After discussing with bill and Li Shanquan, Li Feng returned to his office with the documents prepared by Li Shanquan.

Through this material, Li Feng has a more detailed understanding of the situation of Standard Chartered Bank. At present, Standard Chartered Bank is listed in London and Mumbai and is one of the local star stocks. Li Feng remembered that later generations seemed to be listed in Hong Kong, that is, in three places. He thought that the last city was so complicated.

At present, the shares of Standard Chartered Bank are relatively scattered and mainly concentrated in the hands of several major shareholders, but the shares of each shareholder are not much. The largest one is the Qiu family in Singapore, with about 15% of the shares. The fourth daughter of the Bao family inherits about 7.5% of the shares of Bao Yugang, and the Australian hotel tycoon Robert houmu holds about 6.7% of the shares.

These are the three white knights who once sniped at the acquisition of Standard Chartered in the 1980s and entered the board of directors of Standard Chartered. Of course, the first three held up to 37% of the shares in total, which is much less now.

At the beginning, Bao Yugang had the most shares and got 14.5 shares. Unfortunately, after Bao Yugang's death, the fourth daughter who inherited Bao Yugang investment group was very disappointed with Standard Chartered Bank. She didn't have enough return and slowly didn't have much interest. She has been reducing her shares over the years, and Australian hotel tycoon Robert Hou's mother has also been reducing her shares.

The only exception is the Qiu family in Singapore, who is constantly increasing his shares, from less than 10% to 15% today. He has become the largest shareholder of Standard Chartered Bank, with a great potential to change from white knight to black knight.

As for the remaining major shareholders, including the UK's Aberdeen capital (about 11.7%), Schroder group (about 7.6%), Lloyds Bank (about 6%), HSBC (about 5%) and the chairman's family Coston family (about 8.2%), naturally, there are a large number of large and small shareholders, that's not to mention.

Li Feng's primary goal is to put it on the three major shareholders of white knight.

After all, the remaining major shareholders are in the UK, and those shareholders in the UK have a close relationship with the management of Standard Chartered and the nominal controller of Standard Chartered Bank, the Goldstone family. Now is not the time to contact.

……

The Goldstone family is the management family of Standard Chartered Bank. Goldstone was originally a senior worker and was ordered to restructure Standard Chartered Bank after World War II. That is, since then, the Goldstone family has been the manager of Standard Chartered Bank, and even many family members are senior managers of Standard Chartered Bank. After all, the Goldstone family is not an entrepreneur, and the shares of Standard Chartered Bank are naturally less.

However, there are members of the Coston family in both the London headquarters and the senior management of the Hong Kong Branch. This family is the biggest obstacle to Li Feng's acquisition of Standard Chartered Bank. Otherwise, there would have been no chance for the three white knights to snipe at the acquisition of Standard Chartered and then enter the board of directors of Standard Chartered.

Aberdeen capital has always held shares in standard chartered for a long time. Therefore, it is difficult for Li Feng to acquire, that is to say, it is difficult for Aberdeen capital and the Goldstone family.

The rest, including Schroder group and Lloyd's Bank, can be acquired as long as the bid can meet their psychological expectations. However, it needs to wait until Li Feng takes the initiative. If he takes the initiative now, it is unlikely.

As for the remaining minority shareholders, if they can fight for it at that time, even if they can't fight for it, they can wait until they control their shares and buy or dilute their shares by various means. Anyway, there are various methods.

After putting down the documents about Standard Chartered Bank, Li Feng couldn't help leaning back in his back chair, closed his eyes and meditated, thinking about how to quickly achieve the purpose of acquiring the shares in the hands of the three white knights, cut the mess quickly, and don't give the current management of Standard Chartered bank the opportunity to respond.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help thinking of the links between Chinese rich families in Hong Kong and Southeast Asia, and then picked up the phone.

……

"Richard, it's me, St. John Lee.", But Li Feng directly dialed the phone of little Superman, the second childe of the Li family.

"Richard, I've come to you for a reception."

"Ha ha... Forget it. You don't have to invite me. I want you to help me see if your father is free tonight. I'm going to come to your house for dinner. Do you mind?"

"OK, I'll wait for your call."

“…”

After a casual chat, they hung up.

"Lingling..." in less than 10 minutes, Li Zekai's phone rang into Li Feng's mobile phone.

"John, my father replied, saying that you are welcome to have dinner in the evening and waiting for you." As soon as he got on the phone, Li Zekai's voice came, which made Li Feng happy.

"OK, say hello to my uncle for me. I'll see you tonight!"

"Bye!"

“…”

Hung up the phone again happily, which made Li Feng in a good mood.

Whether Li Feng or Li Zekai, they are still very efficient and have a sense of being resolute. Soon, Li Feng's plan to visit Li Superman was solved.

……

"John, Standard Chartered Bank is one of the top 50 banks in the world, and has the right to issue money in Hong Kong, South Africa, Malaysia and other places. If you really buy it, it will have a great impact." Seeing that Li Feng had been arranged and was resting with his eyes closed, Wang Siqing went behind Li Feng, helped him press it gently on his temple, and then said with a smile.

"Standard Chartered Bank is the most easily acquired large banking group, and now Huamei bank has begun to expand in the United States and has a firm foothold. Standard Chartered Bank's main business is in Asia, the Middle East, Africa and other places.

If we can combine with Standard Chartered Bank, Huamei bank will expand mainly in the Americas, and if we can acquire several European banks, then our financial banking consortium will be truly based on the world. " Li Feng revealed his ambition to Wang Siqing.

"If only it could be as you say!" Wang Siqing replied with a smile.

"I'm determined to get Standard Chartered. This time I told the little Superman to visit his father in the hope of getting the help of the old Superman. If I could get his lead and recommendation, it might be a lot less trouble." Li Feng said with a smile again.

"Well... Should Li Chaoren have a good relationship with Chinese shareholders?"

"Ha ha... The rich in Hong Kong have always had a close relationship with the rich in Southeast Asia and Nanyang."

"I hope everything goes as you wish and everything goes well!"

"Haha... Don't worry. According to my understanding, the Bao family and the hotel tycoon in Australia have little problems. They have been reducing their shares as long as the bid is reasonable.

As for the Qiu family in Singapore, it seems that his children are not very interested in the shares of Standard Chartered Bank. They are all operating hotels and other businesses. Although master Qiu has deep feelings for the bank, he is old after all. " Li Feng patted the beauty's hand and smiled back.

……

Just then, Bill took a young Chinese man in his 30s into the office.

"Boss, here are some documents. Maybe you are interested?" As soon as he entered the office, Bill smiled at Li Feng.

Then he took a folder from the Chinese man nearby and handed it to Wang Siqing who came out.
