"It's a great idea to divide the whole bank into four independent banks, so it's easier to adapt to the environment around the world and develop business. It's mainly a retail bank with strong stability and anti risk ability. It's really a perfect idea." After listening to Li Feng's words, John Rupert smiled and clapped his hand and exclaimed.
"Rupert, I want your support!" Li Feng replied with a smile.
"John, I'm just a nominal director at standard bank." John Rupert, the South African tycoon, replied with a smile.
"Hehe... A registered name can also become a real name. I don't think the members of the board of directors and even the shareholders' meeting of standard bank are one-sided. Some people will oppose it.
As long as you convince most people, and then you can directly buy the shares of opponents, at least I can guarantee to recover the shares at a price higher than 10% of your purchase price, as long as you are willing.
And I believe in the influence of the Rupert family in South Africa. " Li Feng smiled back again.
Li Feng directly gave him a guarantee. The implication is that it is easy for your nominal director to become a real name director. As long as you invest to buy the shares of those who oppose, you will not become a real name director.
Finally, it is a reassurance to others. If you don't want the shares, you can resell them to Li Feng again and recover them at least 10 points higher than his purchase price. Naturally, in Li Feng's view, if you really want to acquire shares, the sale may be very small. After all, no one is a fool. Everyone knows that if you really want to complete Li Feng's vision, the future is unlimited.

"John, I will give feedback to the board of directors of standard bank on what you and Standard Chartered mean. I hope we can all get a satisfactory result." Rupert thought a little and smiled back.
"OK, then I'll wait for your good news. I'll talk about the bank. Next, let's talk about some pleasant things. Rupert, your Richemont group is the target of my other shore shahua group."
"Ha ha... Your other shore, shahua, has now set off a big wave in the high-end consumer goods industry. Many brands are worried about whether they will become your acquisition target." Rupert laughed and joked.
"Hehe... I can't help it. You should also see that I have three or two kittens. I just want to become a big group like Lifeng and Lv. I admire Rupert very much. You give up the family industry and enter the luxury industry. From the development of Lifeng group, you can see that Rupert has made a good deal." Li Feng replied with a feeling.
In fact, in the last few years of the 90s, although it was a financial crisis in Asia, the economic development in Europe and even the Americas was excellent. The Internet bubble of the United States did not talk about it. It also did well in Europe. It also led to the excellent operation of the luxury group, which is dominated by the European and American markets.
In the first few years of the new century, the Internet bubble was broken, and the economic development in Europe and the United States slowed down or even retrogressed. Until 08 years ago, the development of the luxury goods industry was limited. At that time, the economy in Europe and the United States had regressed, and the economic development in Asia represented by China was fast, but after all, the market for the top luxury goods was just like the economy.
In the first few years of the new century, the luxury industry was actually not good, especially the top luxury brand industry. At that time, Lifeng and LV group both bought some second-line brands, increased the investment of these second-line brands, slowed down the first-line brands, and survived for several years in the form of small profits and quick sales.
For example, in the years after the new century, Lifeng almost went bankrupt. Rupert finally served as CEO himself, sold half of the family's shares in British American Tobacco and paid off the group's debt of $10.
……
When the economy represented by Huaxia rose completely and the huge Huaxia demographic dividend accompanied the rapid development of the luxury industry, at that time, LV, Lifeng and other groups began a new round of top luxury expansion and made enough money in China and even all over Asia.
The only thing Richemont knows is that at the time of its rebirth, a brand like baozi, which initially dominated China but was only a second-line brand in Europe and America, has begun to decline, and the development of top brands is in full swing.
However, after nearly 10 years of golden development, the top luxury goods in the Chinese market also slowly began to slow down. From the perspective of today's Li Feng, in China, from around 10 years to 20 years, this period should be the golden age of Chinese luxury goods.
After all, with the rise of China's economy at that time, those rich people in China were used to the original hard days and suddenly found that there were so many top luxury goods to decorate in their own life. Therefore, the luxury industry developed rapidly.
In Li Feng's words, it was woodlouse and upstarts who suddenly saw the rich and the poor in Europe and the United States.
However, after 10 years of super development, the general rich class has slowly returned to rationality. At that time, it is impossible for these top brands to want the initial crazy development. At that time, it is also the time for a hundred flowers to bloom in the market.
In fact, it is like a reincarnation, just like Europe and the United States. When the grade development is general or even retrogressive, we develop those second and third tier brands in the form of small profits and quick sales. When the second gear economy develops rapidly, we focus on developing top brands. The profits of top luxury goods are very rich.
Today, Li Feng is ready to lay out in advance. In addition to the top brands, those second and third tier brands are among Li Feng's acquisition targets, so the anti risk ability of his luxury group has been greatly strengthened, which is one of the reasons why Li Feng attaches importance to Baozi and other second and third tier brands.
......
Now, with Li Feng's wealth and the foresight of later generations, he naturally won't think that his group will follow Lifeng and Lv.
In the original history, Pinot family has become one of the three luxury groups with its own development, although it is at the end of the three in terms of ranking. Now, with the support of super predators like Li Feng, it is too small to look down on Li Feng's identity as a reborn person at the end of the three major.
With the experience in the past two years, Li Feng's vision can be said to be completely different from that of an ordinary person in his previous life. Such a development vision can never be analyzed by himself in his previous life.
However, now, from the economic development around the world and the analysis of the development prospects of the industry, it can be said that Li Feng has completely separated from the owner of the small Internet cafe in his previous life.
Vision and knowledge largely depend on a person's position in society. To tell the truth, those bigwigs who rose in China in the previous life initially had any cultural knowledge, but later they did not all become bigwigs in the national economic circles.
What's more, with their high status and excellent knowledge in society, what kind of position a person is in in the social level, people will say what kind of words, get what kind of experience, even knowledge and knowledge.
"John, your other side of shahua is not as simple as three or two kittens. I've heard a lot about your group before. I've contacted several brand owners and managers. I have all kinds of guesses about the next development of your group, and my reactions are different. I'm looking forward to it. After all, we are the same kind of people." Rupert replied with a smile.
"The same kind of people? They do belong to the same category. " Li Feng echoed with a smile.
……
The two people's positioning in the luxury industry is a bit like people of the same kind. Whether it's Lifeng or shahua on the other side or LV, the acquisition is naturally the main means for the luxury group to develop. After all, the top brands with orderly inheritance are so important.
Li Feng mainly works in jewelry and watches. At present, Li Feng is mainly in fashion brands and has the most direct competitive relationship with LV. Therefore, for the development of shahua on the other side, at least in John Rupert's view, it has little impact on himself.
Unfortunately, Rupert is not an Ascaris worm in Li Feng's stomach after all. He will not know what Li Feng thinks. After a short time, he may regard the other shore shahua as the most direct opponent like Arnold of LV now.
