Chapter 775

The first contact with the controllers of Standard Chartered has been completed. In Li Feng's opinion, the effect is actually quite good. Although he has left the chairman and Levin Goldstone, the head of the Goldstone family, as well as two directors and several shareholder representatives, the total shares over there are only 10% left and right. Li Feng really doesn't worry at all. Li Feng has some ways to clean them up.

Similarly, for Standard Bank of South Africa, Li Feng is definitely not on a whim. Even an investment is cost-effective. Standard Bank in the previous life was not acquired and controlled by ICBC later. It seems that ICBC spent about US $5 billion to acquire 20% shares around 2008 for the first time. Later, it acquired 40% shares again and directly controlled 60% shares.

Obviously, from the acquisition and merger by standard chartered to the subsequent acquisition by ICBC, standard bank's shareholders do not object to the acquisition. As long as their psychological price is reached, and Standard Chartered has another advantage, that is, it has been merged once and has a foundation for cooperation. It should be easier to talk about it.

If Li Feng buys it, he can make a lot of money even if he sells it in the future. What's more, what does the acquisition of banks represent? Banks are the easiest to control the local economy. As the largest bank in Africa, Standard Bank of South Africa has great influence on Africa.

Naturally, there is another one, that is, Li Feng is a little depressed when he looks at the unworthy bank name of Standard Chartered, or he can simply remove the standard and change it to Standard Chartered. Such an unworthy title is a bit of a sheep's head and sell dog meat.

In short, Li Feng is really excited about Standard Bank of South Africa.

……

"John, this is Mr. Ma Zhengang, the Chinese ambassador to the UK, and this is Mr. Liu Weiguo, the representative of Huajin capital London." Wang Siqing took four Chinese men into the villa and introduced them to Li Feng.

Not long after Li Feng returned home, Wang Siqing took several Chinese into the mansion, and Li Feng immediately welcomed them.

"Hello, Ambassador Ma and manager Liu. Nice to meet you!" Li Feng took the lead in extending his hand and smiled at the two leaders.

"Hello, Mr. Li. I've heard that Mr. Li speaks Chinese very well before. I didn't expect it to be so excellent. It's really famous. It's better to meet. It's just like a person who grew up in China."

"Mr. ambassador, you're welcome. Manager Liu, please sit down!" Li Feng said to the crowd with a smile.

"I've always heard that Mr. Li cares about China. Now he is investing heavily in China and helping China's economic development. I just want to express my personal thanks." Ambassador Ma just sat down and began to make complaints about Li Feng's heart.

“…”

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

"Mr. Li, now you also control standard chartered bank. We congratulate you on this. It is said that Huajin capital also has almost 5% shares in Standard Chartered. We should strengthen contacts in the future."

"Oh, why didn't your representative attend today's board of directors?" Li Feng asked a little surprised.

"No way, Mr. Li should know that although we have obtained some shares, we can't get involved in the company's management and the board of directors at all. Before, we proposed to set up Standard Chartered (Huaxia) Company in Xiangjiang. At that time, including the cash issuing right of Xiangjiang, we will put it in Huaxia company. Unfortunately, it has not been recognized by the London headquarters. "

"Oh, I see!"

……

At this time, Li Feng didn't understand. People came to explore this visit to see if Li Feng would let go of the establishment of Standard Chartered Huaxia company, and then delegate the Hong Kong dollar issuing power to Xiangjiang.

"Manager Liu, I personally support the establishment of Huaxia company, and we can consider directly listing Standard Chartered Huaxia company in Xiangjiang in the future, but this can not be determined in a short time. Now we have just begun to take over standard chartered, and it takes time."

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

Now the proposal to establish Huaxia company reminds Li Feng that Standard Chartered's business in Meidi can be handed over to Huamei and merged to establish standard chartered Meidi company, so that it can be listed on the stock market.

If we do so, we will establish a global standard chartered holding group company, and then administer Standard Chartered Huaxia company, Meidi company and the remaining Standard Chartered Bank. If we can acquire South African Standard Bank, we can directly establish an African company to be listed in South Africa based on South African Standard Bank, so as to form four places to be listed.

The more Li Feng thinks about it, the more feasible it is. It is absolutely a good idea for the four companies to operate independently, with four branches, global cooperation and cooperation. More importantly, in this way, it is more likely to acquire all parties.

After all, if they operate separately, their respective listing will have less restrictions on the rights of the acquiree. For example, if standard bank is acquired, even if it succeeds, it will be listed in Africa in the form of an African company, so that it will not cause too much resentment to the original shareholders, directors and management of standard bank.

……

"Really, it would be best if we could get Mr. Li's approval. As for the time, it's certain. After all, it's not a small matter." Liu Weiguo was excited to get Li Feng's oral response.

Obviously, it is urgent for Chinese capital to enter the board of directors of Standard Chartered, and Huaxia is like this. It is related to the paper money issuance right of Xiangjiang. Huaxia naturally wants to take it back most. Li Feng, who has been a Chinese in his previous life, naturally understands his mind.

The history of previous lives has proved that Standard Chartered later established Huaxia company, and finally listed in Xiangjiang. Obviously, Standard Chartered in previous lives can't withstand the pressure in the end. After all, Xiangjiang has returned, and his arm can't twist his thigh. Since the doomed result, Li Feng naturally won't object, so as not to annoy both sides.

"In principle, I agree, and I will also support you to enter the board of directors of Standard Chartered Huaxia company, but I don't care about the specific details. I will order you to discuss it in detail. Of course, I will pay a little attention."

"You see, after the establishment of Standard Chartered Huaxia company, can our Chinese capital increase its share?" Liu Weiguo asked hesitantly.

"Want to expand your stake?" Li Feng couldn't help laughing back.

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

"Well... It's not impossible to consider, but I have conditions!" As soon as his eyes turned, Li Feng couldn't help smiling back.

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

……

"What do you say?"

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

"Ping An insurance?"

"Yes, Ping An insurance!"

“…”

Yes, now that he is busy with financial affairs, Li Feng suddenly thought of Ping An insurance. It is one of the top dozens of enterprises in the future top 500, with a market value of hundreds of billions of dollars. Now if he takes a stake, he will gain a lot in the future. Since Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley are allowed to take shares, there should be no problem with one more Li Feng. This is an opportunity to come to the door.
