Completed the first contact with the controllers of Standard Chartered, in Li Feng's opinion, the effect is actually quite good, although the chairman and Levine Goldtown, the head of the Goldtown family, as well as 2 directors and several shareholder representatives, but the total is only about 10% of the shares, Li Feng is really not worried at all, Li Feng has a way to clean them up.

Similarly, for South Africa's Standard Bank, Li Feng is definitely not a whim, even if it is an investment, it is cost-effective, in the previous life, Standard Bank was not acquired by ICBC later, it seems that the first time ICBC was around 08 years, spent about 5 billion US dollars to acquire 20% of the shares, and later acquired 40% of the shares again, directly 60% of the shares.

Obviously, from the acquisition and merger by Standard Chartered to the subsequent acquisition by ICBC, for the holders of Standard Bank, they are not opposed to being acquired, as long as it comes out of their psychological price, and Standard Chartered also has an advantage, that is, it has merged once itself, and there is already a basis for cooperation, and it should be easier to talk about it.

If Li Feng buys it, even if he sells it in the future, he can make a lot of money, not to mention what the acquisition of the bank represents, the bank is the easiest to control the local economy, South Africa's Standard Bank is the largest bank in Africa, if it is controlled, the influence on Africa is huge.

Naturally, there is another that Li Feng is a little depressed when he looks at the unworthy name of Standard Chartered, or simply remove the standard and directly change the name to Standard Chartered, such an unworthy title is really a bit of a sheep's head selling dog meat.

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

……

"John, this is Mr. Ma Zhengang, the ambassador of Huaxia to the United Kingdom, and this is Mr. Liu Weiguo, the representative of Huajin Capital in London. Wang Siqing walked into the villa with four Chinese men and introduced to Li Feng.

Not long after Li Feng returned home, Wang Siqing walked into the mansion with a few Chinese, and Li Feng immediately greeted him.

"Ambassador Ma, Manager Liu, hello, it's a pleasure to meet you!" Li Feng took the lead in stretching out his hand and smiled at the two of them.

"Hello Mr. Li, I have always heard that Mr. Li's Chinese is very good, but I didn't expect it to be really so good, it's really better to meet than to meet, it's just like a person who grew up in China." ”

"Mr. Ambassador is polite, Manager Liu, please take a seat!" Li Feng said to everyone with a smile.

"I have always heard that Mr. Li cares about China, and now he is investing heavily in China and contributing a lot to the development of China's economy. As soon as Ambassador Ma sat down, he began to routine, which made Li Feng complain in his heart.

“…”

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

"Mr. Li, now that you have a controlling stake in Standard Chartered Bank, we would like to congratulate you, saying that Huajin Capital also has almost 5% of the shares in Standard Chartered, and we should strengthen our ties in the future. ”

"Oh, why didn't your representatives attend today's board of directors?" Li Feng asked in surprise.

"There is no way, Mr. Li should know that although we have obtained some shares, the company's management and board of directors cannot intervene at all. Previously, we proposed to set up Standard Chartered (Huaxia) Company in Xiangjiang, and at that time, including the right to issue notes in Xiangjiang, it was put into Huaxia Company, but unfortunately, it has not been recognized by the London headquarters. ”

"Oh, I see!"

……

At this time, Li Feng still didn't understand that the people's visit was to probe the wind and see if Li Feng would loosen his mouth on the establishment of Standard Chartered Huaxia Company, and then delegate the Hong Kong dollar banknote issuance power to Hong Kong.

"Manager Liu, I personally support the establishment of Huaxia Company, and in the future, we can consider directly listing Standard Chartered Huaxia Company in Xiangjiang, but this is not a short period of time to determine, and now we have just begun to take over Standard Chartered, it will take time. ”

Li Feng really didn't mind, the original plan was to prepare Standard Chartered to be listed in London and Xiangjiang, and if possible, it could be listed in New York.

Now the proposal to set up a Huaxia company has given Li Feng a wake-up call, and it is completely possible to hand over all the business of Standard Chartered in the United States to Huamei, and merge to form the Standard Chartered United Emperor Company, so that it can be listed on the market.

If this is done, it will be necessary to set up a global Standard Chartered Holding Group Company, and then under the jurisdiction of Standard Chartered Huaxia Company, Meidi Company and the remaining Standard Chartered Bank, if it can acquire South Africa's Standard Bank, it can be directly based on South Africa's Standard Bank, and set up an African company to be listed in South Africa, so as to form four listings.

The more Li Feng thinks about it, the more feasible it is, the four companies operate independently and are divided into four parties, global cooperation, and collaboration, which is definitely a good idea, and more importantly, in this way, the possibility of acquiring all parties is greater.

After all, if they operate separately, the restrictions on the rights of the acquired party will be even less if they are listed separately. For example, if Standard Bank were to acquire it, even if it was successful, it would be listed in Africa in the form of a bank African company, so that it would not cause much resentment among the shareholders, directors, and management of the original Standard Bank.

……

"Yes, it would be best if I could get Mr. Li's approval, as for the time, it is a certain amount, after all, it is not a trivial matter. After receiving Li Feng's verbal response, Liu Weiguo replied excitedly.

Obviously, the Chinese want to enter the board of directors of Standard Chartered is urgent, and Huaxia is like this, it is related to the right to issue banknotes in Xiangjiang, Huaxia naturally wants to take it back the most, and Li Feng, who has been a Chinese all his life in his previous life, naturally understands his thoughts.

The history of the previous life has proved that Standard Chartered later established Huaxia Company, and finally listed in Xiangjiang, obviously the Standard Chartered in the previous life could not withstand the pressure in the end, after all, Xiangjiang has returned, and his arms can't twist his thighs, since the doomed result, Li Feng will naturally not object, so as not to cause unhappiness on both sides.

"In principle, I agree, and I will also support you to join the board of directors of Standard Chartered Huaxia, but I don't care about the specific details, I will order it down when the time comes, you will discuss it specifically, of course, I will pay a little attention. ”

"Then you see, after the establishment of Standard Chartered Huaxia Company, can our Chinese capital increase its share in it?" asked Liu Weiguo hesitantly.

"Want to expand your shares?" Li Feng couldn't help but ask with a smile.

"Yes, there is this idea, after all, 5% of the shares are still a little small. ”

"Hmm... , It's not impossible to think about it, but I'm conditional!" With a roll of his eyes, Li Feng couldn't help but smile and replied.

At this time, Li Feng couldn't help but think of the companies in China that made him coveted.

……

"You say?"

"I heard that you accepted Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley's investment in Ping An Insurance this year, and I want to get involved, what do you think?" Li Feng replied with a smile.

"Ping An Insurance?"

"Yes, Ping An Insurance!"

“…”

That's right, since they are now busy with financial matters, Li Feng suddenly thought of Ping An Insurance at this time, which is the top 500 companies in the future, with a market value of hundreds of billions of dollars. Since Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley have been allowed to take shares, it shouldn't be a big problem to have one more Li Feng, isn't this an opportunity to send to the door.
