Chapter 829

On August 26, 2008, when Lin Feng and Qiu deba held a press conference in Singapore and announced that Lin Feng purchased 14.99% of the shares of Standard Chartered Bank held by Qiu deba at a price of HK $113 per share and a total capital of US $2.718 billion, all the reporters present were shocked incomparably.

Recently, Qiu debar's 14.99% shares in Standard Chartered Bank have been attracting attention from all walks of life. Citigroup, rice bank, Goldman Sachs investment bank, including Temasek Holdings and other investment groups are all eyeing Qiu debar's shares in Standard Chartered Bank, which also makes many media speculate who will spend 14.99% of Qiu debar's shares in Standard Chartered Bank. After all, Qiu deba is 86 years old and in poor health. He has many sons and daughters, is born of two wives, and has no intention of holding shares in Standard Chartered Bank. Therefore, the best way to deal with Qiu deba's shares in Standard Chartered Bank is to sell them.

No one thought that Qiu deba would transfer 14.99% of his shares to Lin Feng, the world's richest man from China. You know, although Lin Feng has many companies, they are all in the it, entertainment and sports industries, not to mention the financial industry, and there is not even a traditional industrial company. But in this way, Lin Feng actually acquired 14.99% of the shares of Standard Chartered Bank in Qiu deba's hands, which is really shocking.

What's more shocking is that Qiu deba actually sold it at the market price. You know, according to external evaluation, Qiu deba's 14.99% shares will at least exceed 30% of the market price under the rush of many groups. Who would have expected Qiu deba to sell at the original price.

Global uproar! This acquisition action is really beyond everyone's expectation and shocking. In particular, the numerous groups that had previously aspired to win were even more astonished and could not believe this fact.

What, Qiu deba sold the shares of Standard Chartered Bank to Lin Feng at the original price? He's not crazy, is he—— Prince, the president of Citigroup, was speechless when he heard the news. It's really hard to understand how Lin Feng can buy shares in a bank, which is not in line with his main business. What makes prince even more incomprehensible is how Qiu debar agreed to sell his shares in Standard Chartered Bank to Lin Feng at the market price, which is really incredible.

Prince, President of Citigroup, doesn't understand it, and rice Bank of England doesn't understand it. At that time (1986), rice bank wanted to buy Standard Chartered Bank, but because of Qiu deba, Bao Yugang and Robert houm's move, it came back. This time, Qiu debar was ill, and he was old enough to know his fate. Moreover, his descendants were not interested in holding shares in Standard Chartered Bank. Rice bank once again moved to buy Standard Chartered Bank, and began to actively contact Qiu debar, even making an offer 30% higher than the market price. However, Qiu debar never received a positive response.

Unexpectedly, when rice bank was about to meet with Qiu debar again, it was unexpectedly that the news that Lin Feng bought 14.99% of the shares of Standard Chartered Bank in Qiu debar's hands came out, and rice bank was dumbfounded on the spot. The 14.99% bank shares held by Qiu deba are in the hands of others, and rice bank still hopes to obtain them through negotiation or other means. But in the hands of Lin Feng, that is the truth that he did not spit out. As one of the largest banks in the UK, rice bank naturally has information about Lin Feng. After all, it is uncertain when Lin Feng, the richest man in the world, will go to rice bank for financing. Therefore, rice bank has made an investigation and evaluation on Lin Feng for a long time, and it can be said that it knows Lin Feng very well.

It's not polite to say that the things Lin Feng bought never came out again. Of course, the only time to spit it out was to sell "aquantive" company, which was acquired by US $180 million, to Microsoft for us $2.75 billion, making a total of US $2.57 billion in one year. In addition, there is no precedent for the acquisition of fan Linfeng. Rice bank wants to buy 14.99% of Standard Chartered Bank's shares from Lin Feng. According to the analysis of rice bank's investment department, if Lin Feng wants to be moved, at least the purchase price should be too high to HK $300 per share before Lin Feng will consider it. And 300 Hong Kong dollars per share, the purchase price is far beyond the affordability of rice bank.

Besides, Lin Feng is not short of money at all. Even if the 14.99% shares of Standard Chartered Bank were acquired, Lin Feng still had $3.85 billion in cash. What's more, Lin Fengquan's private game company "second game" still has more than US $5 billion in cash on its account. If Lin Fengquan is short of money, he can allocate funds from "second game". In a word, Lin Feng is not short of money. For this kind of person who is not short of money, it's hard for him to spit out something!

Compared with Citigroup and rice bank's confusion about Lin Feng's acquisition of Standard Chartered Bank, Goldman Sachs investment bank is undoubtedly more vigilant. Abby Cohen, chief financial analyst at Goldman Sachs investment bank, was poached by Lin Feng to become a private investment adviser. According to the information obtained by some senior executives of Goldman Sachs investment bank or chatting with Abby Cohen, Lin Feng has great ambition. Is the acquisition of 14.99% shares of Standard Chartered Bank really just an investment?

Although two thirds of the business of Standard Chartered Bank is in Asia, Lin Feng has become the largest shareholder of Standard Chartered Bank, which is of great benefit to the expansion of its companies in Southeast Asia. In terms of financing, it will be more convenient and efficient. But is Lin Feng's purpose really just like this?

Goldman Sachs is skeptical. Because Lin Feng is absolutely not simple! All of a sudden, from the IT entertainment sports industry across to the financial industry, if only such a little motivation, Goldman Sachs investment bank instinctively do not believe. But now there is no evidence to prove their doubts and feelings, and we can only wait and see.

In contrast to the reluctance of Citigroup and rice bank and the uneasiness of Goldman Sachs, the board of directors of Standard Chartered Bank immediately sent a congratulatory message to Lin Feng after Lin Feng acquired 14.99% of Qiu debar's shares in Standard Chartered Bank, congratulating Lin Feng on becoming the largest shareholder of Standard Chartered Bank and saying that it would invite Lin Feng to attend the board of directors of the company on September 1, And promised in the fax that he would give Lin Feng the position of executive director.

For this statement of Standard Chartered Bank, Lin Feng knows that it is courting himself. After all, due to Qiu deba's health and his descendants' lack of interest in holding shares in Standard Chartered Bank, the banking giants of various countries are eyeing Standard Chartered Bank and want to merge its Asian business by acquiring Standard Chartered Bank. This makes Standard Chartered Bank extremely panic. Once Qiu deba's shares are acquired by other banks, it is bound to trigger a new round of merger and acquisition war. No one knows who will win.

Now Lin Feng, who has never been involved in the financial industry, has acquired 14.99% of Qiu debar's shares, which is absolutely the best news for Standard Chartered Bank. According to the board of directors of Standard Chartered Bank, Lin Feng's acquisition of Qiu deba's shares in Standard Chartered Bank is to facilitate the expansion of his company in Southeast Asia in the future. Standard Chartered Bank naturally welcomes this point. It is really the most cost-effective thing for Lin Feng, the richest man in the world, to become the largest shareholder of Standard Chartered Bank, to give him an executive director position and arrange a less important position to stabilize Standard Chartered Bank.

Therefore, Standard Chartered Bank immediately sent a congratulatory message to Lin Feng.

"Boss, what are you going to do?" Abby Cohen looked at the congratulatory telegram sent by Standard Chartered Bank in his hand playfully. He was secretly amused. I'm afraid Standard Chartered bank doesn't know at this time that Lin Feng already holds 19.98% of the shares of Standard Chartered Bank. With the 1.71% of the shares Qiu deba will transfer to Lin Feng, Lin Feng already owns 21.69% of the shares. Taking into account the shares held by Bao Peili and Robert houm, I'm afraid the board of directors of Standard Chartered Bank will never send this congratulatory message again.

"Well, go to the board of directors of Standard Chartered Bank on time on September 1st!" Lin Feng smiles.

"Mrs. Bao, I will attend the board of directors of Standard Chartered Bank on September 1. Would you like to join us?" Lin Feng immediately calls Bao Peili.

Thank you, Mr. Lin. I will be there on time When Bao Peili heard the speech, she couldn't help her joy and agreed immediately. When Bao Peili's father Bao Yugang was critically ill, he was held hostage by the board of directors of Standard Chartered Bank, and was forced to sign an unequal treaty. 14.5% of Standard Chartered Bank in his hand could not be sold to outsiders, which made Bao Peili resentful all the time, thinking about exporting evil spirit for his father. This time, Lin Feng invited him to attend the board of directors of Standard Chartered Bank, which is the best opportunity.

Bao Peili can imagine what the British directors of Standard Chartered Bank will look like when they hear that Lin Feng already holds 43.7% of the shares and has absolute say. Bao Peili is looking forward to this. Of course, I am also very grateful to Lin Feng for giving him an opportunity to witness the scene of the directors of Standard Chartered Bank being burned.

"By the way, Mr. Lin, how do you respond to the expectations of home buyers?" Bao Peili reminded.

Abby Cohen also reminds Lin Feng. According to the data, Lin Feng's silence has begun to affect the domestic market share of its "second world" and "phantom technology". It's very simple. Although these house buyers have limited personal influence, they can create a pressure of public opinion that everyone can't ignore. For those real estate developers, no matter how heavy the pressure of public opinion is, it can not crush them. After all, the reason for the high housing price lies in the high land price. The reason for the high land price lies in the high price sold by the local municipal government. The reason for the high sales of local municipal government is that the country needs to develop.

It can be said that real estate developers simply do not bird the appeal of these buyers. But Lin Feng is different. Lin Feng has been silent for a long time. Together, these buyers have started to influence the customer groups of "second world" and "phantom technology" by creating momentum on the Internet. In particular, many buyers themselves are "second world" and "phantom technology" customers.

Lin Feng thought for a while. It's better to wait until we completely acquire Standard Chartered Bank. Now, Lin Feng is looking forward to September 1 to see what the British representatives of Standard Chartered Bank will look like. At that time, Britain used opium and cannons to open the door of China. Now Lin Feng will use money to open the door of Britain.
