398 People and things that interest Li Feng
Looking at the words of the little sister of the Zeng family and the manager of the Xiangjiang branch of Huajin Company, everyone present looked sideways, obviously, Li Feng's acquisition of Standard Chartered has opened up the relationship between Xiangjiang and Huaxia, which makes the rich people envious.
If you don't get the support and approval of the government, even if you really control the equity, it is very troublesome to run smoothly.
Now Li Feng's acquisition of Standard Chartered is actually facing two biggest difficulties, that is, the support of the governments of Huaxia and John Bull, as long as it can get the approval of the two governments, with more than half of the shares, it is easy to control Standard Chartered.
At this time, whether it is the Hong Kong, Huaxia or British governments that oppose it, or even pass some regulations or something, it will still fall short in the end.
In this regard, Li Feng naturally understood that as early as after getting the shares of the three white knights, Li Feng began to take action, and first contacted the Huaxia government.
After all, Li Feng is now the largest foreign investor in China, and he has also invested in the first private bank in the mainland, and his relationship with the mainland government is quite harmonious, and he has finally been recognized by the government.
On the contrary, it is a bit troublesome in the UK, and now the news of Standard Chartered's acquisition has caused an uproar in the UK.
John Bull may still be silent in the glory of the sunset, Standard Chartered was once their pride, and at this time it was suddenly reported that it was acquired, which naturally caused a shock from all walks of life in the UK, and the opposition was still quite loud.
……
Another point is that the management of Standard Chartered and a number of shareholders in the UK, especially the management led by the original Coston family of Standard Chartered and the shareholders who support them, the opposition is even more obvious, and they have even begun to take action.
It is said that he has begun to lobby the government and hope that the government can prevent Li Feng's acquisition, mainly because of the management and management rights of Standard Chartered, after all, Li Feng's acquisition of shares has become a foregone conclusion, so he can only find a way to manage and operate the rights.
Similarly, Li Feng is also taking action, for example, he has already begun to contact all the bigwigs he met in the UK before, including the royal family and the Prime Minister's Office, etc., Li Feng has already passed the phone, hoping to make them turn a blind eye, otherwise how did Li Feng receive the news.
In addition, in the US Empire, Li Feng contacted a number of US imperialist bigwigs, including Rockefeller and Roosevelt, and asked them to help all parties match, hoping to completely control Standard Chartered as soon as possible.
Under the mediation of all parties, the US imperialist government naturally supported Li Feng's acquisition, and even the current President of Zipper (,) Don has publicly stated that he hopes that the British government can allow it, saying that this is a normal business behavior and does not involve other clouds.
It can be said that even if Li Feng has now obtained the status of a major shareholder, there is still a final hurdle in the tense game, Li Feng is also ready to wait until the end of the cocktail party here, and then he will rush to London, this is the time for him to make efforts in London before.
Although he had known the result, Li Feng couldn't help but be happy when he heard the words of the two at this time.
The little sister of the Zeng family herself is a senior executive of Standard Chartered in the Asia-Pacific region, and the influence of the Zeng family is self-evident, obviously, those managers in the Asia-Pacific region have begun to stand in line, and the little sister of the Zeng family obviously represents a part of the people, and similarly, the statement of Huajin Company makes Li Feng even more happy.
……
"John, congratulations, it looks like you're only one step away from taking full control of Standard Chartered. Old man Qiu Deba couldn't help but smile and congratulate Li Feng at this time.
"Little John, it's up to you next, Standard Chartered has always been the pride of the British financial community, I hope you can take control of Standard Chartered as soon as possible. Li Chaoren echoed and responded.
"Thank you for your encouragement, and I hope I will not let you down. ”
“…”
I have to say that at this time, Li Feng's half of the Chinese blood played a little role, after all, the people present were basically Chinese, coupled with Li Feng's own strong strength, he was quickly congratulated by everyone present, at least these people can be regarded as supporting Li Feng to completely control the acquisition of Standard Chartered.
"Thank you... In the future, Standard Chartered still needs your support, I hope we can all cooperate happily!" In the face of the support of many bigwigs, Li Feng also modestly expressed his position, which was recognized by everyone.
After some commercial nonsense, Li Feng is about to leave as the master, after all, he has to greet other people, and he can't skip the rest in order to deal with the bigwigs.
"Guys, I'll take my leave, and go around, and you must have fun. ”
"Haha... , John, don't worry, the Peninsula Hotel's Felix Restaurant is famous, we won't let it go, besides, the owners of the Peninsula are here, don't worry. ”
"It's just..."
“…”
The crowd agreed, and yes, Michael Kadoorie, the owner of The Peninsula and the contemporary owner of the Kadoorie family, was chatting with everyone.
……
"Hello, Mr. Li!"
"This is Mr. Chen..."
"Hello, Mr. Li!"
"This is Mr. Sun..."
“…”
Accompanied by Li Shanquan, Li Feng walked around the field, greeting various crowds from time to time, and those business bigwigs greeted Li Feng respectfully, which made Li Feng's vanity burst.
"BOSS, this is Mr. Chan Kai Tai, Chairman of Boots International, and his brother Mr. Chan Han Kit. At this time, Li Shanquan suddenly introduced to a pair of burly middle-aged men and helped Li Feng.
"Oh... , two Mr. Chen, hello, I am St. John Li, Chinese name Li Feng. Li Feng's eyes lit up, and then he introduced himself with a smile.
"Li Sheng, hello, I'm Chen Qitai. ”
"I'm Chen Hanjie..."
"Bots, I've heard of it, it is said to be the No. 1 brand of women's clothing in China today. Li Feng replied with a smile.
Speaking of Boots, Li Feng naturally knew that he had investigated Boots, especially when he wanted to acquire Spring Department Store before, he deliberately learned about who made the domestic Spring Department Store still dominated by Boots.
……
"Hehe... , Li Sheng, I heard that you are going to buy Spring Department Store, if you can really buy it, then we may be considered partners at that time, so I wish you in advance. ”
"Haha... , Mr. Chen is very well-informed, I hope it can be as you said. ”
“…”
I have also been in contact with the Chen brothers of Boots, and I have a good impression, but to be honest, Li Feng is really a little excited about Boots, after all, Boots is now developing very well in China, and at this time in the domestic luxury market, there are still very few foreign products, and Boots is the leader.
However, the limitation of Boots is obvious, that is, with the continuous influx of major fashion and luxury goods later, Boots' market share continued to decrease, and finally slowly declined.
In Li Feng's view, the biggest mistake of Boots is to move the group's headquarters to China, except for the preservation of foreign design departments, the rest are completed in China.
Although it relied on the domestic environment to occupy the initial market in the early stage, it made Boots maintain the hat of a 'fake foreign brand', and finally fell into the wave of the world's top luxury goods constantly pouring into the market share.
If Boots still maintains the original foreign brand strategy, in Li Feng's view, Boots is actually very good, think about the luxury brands in Europe later, which one is not making a lot of money in China.
……
"Sister Qiong, hello, long time no see!" was thinking about Baozi, but Li Feng saw He Chaoqiong, the gambling king's beloved daughter, walking over with a few people, and immediately greeted with a smile.
"John, hello, let me introduce you, my brother and brother will not talk about it, these two are the Lin brothers of the Genting Group in Malaysia, the elder brother Lin Guotai and the younger brother Lin Zhihua. ”
"Oh... , Hello two, Genting Group, I have heard about it for a long time, welcome the arrival of the two of you!" After listening to He Chaoqiong's introduction, Li Feng also greeted with a smile.
Whether it is the previous Baozi Chen brothers, or the current Genting Chen brothers, Li Feng is still quite interested in the projects behind them.
