Chapter 852

Although Li Feng's side is very lively all the time, there is no special thing to happen next. Around 10 p.m., when others are still the most lively, Li Feng is ready to leave in advance. After all, the two old people are old and are used to going to bed early.

"Consul Feng, I'm very happy tonight. I'll have a chance to practice more in the future!" Li Feng stood in front of the car and said to Feng Musen, Consul General of Los Angeles.

"That's the best. Mr. Li is an outstanding representative of Chinese Americans in the United States. Maybe we need to rely on you in the future!"

"You're welcome...!"

"Mr. Li and Ms. Liu, please take your time. Thank you for coming tonight!"

"You're welcome...!"

"If you're free, you can come home!"

"Aunt Zhao, Uncle Wu, uncle Lin, aunt Lin, Kelly and Jiadong, let's leave first!" Li Feng also smiled and said goodbye to Zhao Meixin and his wife and Lin Xilei's family.

"Be careful and slow on the road..."

Well, after a typical Chinese dinner farewell ceremony, Li Feng and two old people waved goodbye to the people under the protection of front and rear security cars.

Watching the luxurious small motorcade leave slowly, facing the flashing tail lights, consul general Feng Musen standing in front of the embassy said: "I didn't expect that there would be a Chinese figure like St. John Lee in the United States. It's incredible!"

"Hehe... Who says not? John is a modern miracle, especially now he is just an adult. I really don't know what achievements he will achieve in the future!" Zhao Meixin smiled back.

“…”

……

"Boss, this is what our whole management means. We all think this is a very good opportunity."

That day, in Li Feng's office, Wu Jianmin came in again with a stack of documents and explained to Li Feng.

"Well, that is to say, because of the merger of Standard Chartered's business in the United States, and because of the original Union Bank of California, it has an entrance to South America?" Li Feng confirmed with a smile.

"Yes, at the beginning, Standard Chartered acquired three banks in the United States. In addition to dealing with increasing business in the United States, there is another reason, that is, it has the opportunity to enter the financial industry in South America. Now we have branches in Brazil and Venezuela, but the scale is still relatively small.

Now Brazil is carrying out the privatization reform of state-owned enterprises, one of the most important of which is bank privatization. Of course, the privatization of vale, an important mining giant and star enterprise in Brazil, is also very attractive. Unfortunately, for the time being, we have no chance to intervene in the resource sector. " Wu Jianmin explained with a smile.

"Yes, Vale, which is a star enterprise in Brazil, is called 'the Pearl of the Brazilian crown and the engine of the Amazon region'. It's a pity." Li Feng also said.

For companies like vale, Li Feng has naturally heard that Vale is famous in both previous and current lives, but he hasn't contacted it yet.

In previous lives, I always heard about iron ore negotiations between vale and BHP Billiton. It seems that those steel giants in China are eaten to death by these companies every time, and they can always cause hot discussions among keyboard men on the Internet every time.

……

"Hehe... Boss, it's not without opportunity. Vale's privatization last year was the first step, and there was the second step in 2002. At that time, there may be an opportunity. Besides, today's controlling party is international capital, including capital giants in the United States, Japan and other places. Maybe we can get involved when there is an opportunity.

However, now Brazil's financial reform has also begun, including banks. There are more than 200 Brazilian banks in the country, and they are all state-owned banks, some belong to state governments and some belong to local governments. However, most of them are in a state of loss or even facing bankruptcy.

Now the Brazilian government has fully taken over these banks and started to privatize them. Most financial institutions around the world are ready to move. I think we can't miss it. " Wu Jianmin replied with a smile again.

"Have banks, Citigroup and America all started to move?" Li Feng asked with a smile.

"Funny to say, although these American banks first set foot in the financial banking industry in Brazil and even South America, the first banks to move this time are those in Europe, including HSBC, Santander, ABN AMRO and other financial giants.

Among them, HSBC acted the fastest. As early as 1996, it directly acquired bamalant bank, a large Brazilian bank that was almost bankrupt, and established HSBC Brazil. "

"OK, I approved it. It is also in line with our own bank development plan. Do you have a plan?" Li Feng replied with a smile.

"Boss, our strategy is to promote the privatization of the two largest state-owned banks in Brazil and get some shares, so as to win the support of the current government. Next, we will comprehensively investigate the banking industry in Brazil and choose a large bank in Brazil as the most acquisition object." Wu Jianmin replied with a special smile.

As for the acquisition after getting the favor of the Brazilian government, this is obviously the routine of acquisition, and it is done in accordance with the most favorable to itself.

……

"Is the largest state-owned bank also facing bankruptcy?" Li Feng asked with a little doubt.

"Hehe, the two banks are the Bank of Brazil and Brad Cisco bank. Before the establishment of the Central Bank of Brazil, the Bank of Brazil has always exercised the role of the Central Bank of Brazil. Now it is the largest commercial bank in Brazil.

Bradesco bank is known as the largest private bank in Brazil. Now both banks have been taken over by the Brazilian government and are promoting the introduction of foreign capital.

Although the two banks will still be controlled by the Brazilian government in the future, if we can invest in them and help the two banks carry out the so-called "privatization", we should be able to get the favor of the ruling government, which will be of great benefit to our next acquisition of banks.

Besides, it is also very appropriate for these two banks to take shares. I believe that as the two largest banks in Brazil, as long as they operate properly, they are still a valuable investment. "

"Do we have our own goals next?" Li Feng asked with a smile.

"Yes, in the list of banks now taken over by the Brazilian government, several banks meet our requirements, such as Bank of Sao Paulo and real bank. They are all large banks in Brazil, but they are now facing bankruptcy.

If we can acquire either of the two banks and then acquire some other small banks, we can quickly become a banking institution that plays an important role in Brazil. "

Historically, Sao Paulo State Bank was acquired by Santander Bank of Spain, becoming the largest bank of foreign banks in Brazil;

Real bank was acquired by ABN AMRO and became a foreign bank in Brazil second only to Santander. It can be seen from this that Wu Jianmin is obviously ambitious.

……

"This not only meets the needs of our own bank development interests, but also can pick up cheap things. We have no reason not to do it, don't we?" Li Feng replied with a smile.

There is no doubt that in the process of privatization of state-owned enterprises, the interests are really large enough. If CSCB can occupy a large part in it, it is obviously a very cost-effective business. Li Feng has no reason to refuse.

In addition, when formulating CSCB Americas, in addition to its own development in the United States, it also needs to develop businesses around the Americas, and Brazil, as the economic focus of South America, is naturally the key.

I heard a lot about the loss of state-owned assets, nationalization and privatization of enterprises in my previous life. Now I have such an opportunity to participate in it. Li Feng was very interested and immediately chatted with Wu Jianmin.

Through the original business acquired by Standard Chartered in the United States, we have the opportunity to enter the Brazilian banking industry, and then through the Brazilian banking business, we have the opportunity to fully participate in the Brazilian economy. Now Brazil is engaged in the privatization of state-owned enterprises, and Li Feng can imagine the benefits. This is really a god given opportunity.
