762 Jamie Dimon's heartwarming proposal

"That's right, it's the Royal Bank of Scotland!" Hearing Li Feng's surprised response, Jamie Dimon glanced at his boss a little strangely and replied affirmatively.

It's no wonder that Li Feng was surprised, the Royal Bank of Scotland, which is a super financial giant that has been ranked in the top 10 in the world for a long time in later generations, Li Feng really didn't think about what it has to do with the Royal Bank of Scotland, after all, according to the information of later generations, the Royal Bank of Scotland is undoubtedly a financial giant.

Although Li Feng's own strength is indeed strong now, if he wants to touch such a world-class supergiant, the difficulty can be imagined, and there is a greater probability that the head will be broken.

For example, if Li Feng is asked to gather all his strength to touch giants such as Citibank, *****, Wells Fargo, and Bank of America, the result must be nothing good, and the potential influence of these giants is too great, no wonder Li Feng is surprised.

In fact, here Li Feng was influenced by the famous Royal Bank of Scotland in later generations.

In fact, before 2000, the Royal Bank of Scotland was not the super banking giant of later generations, and now the Royal Bank of Scotland is just a regional bank, which is still strong in Scotland and the United Kingdom, but in terms of global banking, it is only outside the top 200 global banks.

In other words, the world's top 10 or even top 5 supergiants in the future are really not developing now, and they are just a small bank now, because of this, as the trusted head of an international financial giant like CSCB, Jamie Dimon will look at Li Feng strangely.

After all, the Royal Bank of Scotland is now a small bank, and Li Feng is the head of the CSCB and the Century Consortium behind the scenes.

......

"I seem to remember that the Royal Bank of Scotland is very strong, is there something wrong with their operation?" Li Feng asked with some curiosity.

"BOSS, where did you hear that the Royal Bank of Scotland is powerful, although it is indeed in a leading position in Scotland, even in the United Kingdom, but it is just that, out of Scotland or the United Kingdom, who knows the Royal Bank of Scotland!" Jamie Dimon replied again with a little curiosity and surprise.

"Uh..."

“…”

There is no doubt that Jamie Dimon's words shocked Li Feng in his heart, and he finally understood what he was wrong, which was misled by the inertial thinking of later generations.

The Royal Bank of Scotland in later generations is indeed powerful, and it is a global financial giant comparable to giants such as Citigroup, Wells Fargo, and ****, but who knows what the Royal Bank of Scotland looks like today, after all, this was 20 years ago.

Thinking of this, Li Feng suddenly became interested, temporarily gave up learning about the three newly acquired banks, and asked Jamie Dimon to talk about the Royal Bank of Scotland in detail.

"Well, BOSS, speaking of which, it all started last year, when two banks in Scotland were interested in NatWest, a large bank in the UK, but NatWest, a large bank with total assets of more than £200 billion, a total capital of nearly £12 billion, and an annual profit of nearly £1 billion.

Last year, the two banks of Scotland, the Royal Bank of Scotland and the Bank of Scotland, originally planned to be a joint acquisition, if it can really be acquired, it will be of great benefit to the two banks in Scotland, and they can leap out of Scotland, England, and into the world.

However, the size of NatWestminster Bank is at least three times the size of the Royal Bank of Scotland, and the size of the Bank of Scotland is four times or even more, that is to say, the Royal Bank of Scotland and the Bank of Scotland are not as large as the scale of NatWestminster.

......

No, the two banks originally wanted to make a joint acquisition, but in the end the plan was aborted, which naturally had the problem of intrigue after the union of the two banks, but the huge size of National Westminster Abbey is also an important reason.

Now the Bank of Scotland has withdrawn from the acquisition plan, but I found that the Royal Bank of Scotland has not given up, or showed interest in National Westminster Bank, and after I studied the general situation of the Royal Bank of Scotland, I found that the current business philosophy of this bank is roughly equivalent to the concept of our CSCB, and therefore, I was very interested in the Royal Bank of Scotland before, and I specially collected some information. ”

“…”

Hearing this, Li Feng should have a rough guess about the future development of the Royal Bank of Scotland.

Obviously, the glorious Royal Bank of Scotland in the previous life should have entered a world-class bank from a local regional bank after the acquisition of NatWestminster Bank and the completion of the 'snake swallowing elephant' plan, after all, NatWestminster itself is an international super banking group headquartered in London and operating in more than 30 countries around the world.

"You mean, if the Royal Bank of Scotland wants to buy National Westminster Bank, it needs to raise funds, but I think based on the influence of the Royal Bank of Scotland in Scotland, obviously, the Scottish government will fully support it, can we get involved, besides, how much power can we get after intervening?" Li Feng asked after thinking for a while.

At this time, Li Feng also roughly understood what Jamie Dimon meant.

......

Obviously, if you want to buy the Royal Bank of Scotland or something, it is almost impossible, the only possibility is to take advantage of the lack of funds in the Royal Bank of Scotland, with the strong strength of CSCB to invest in the Royal Bank of Scotland and become the majority shareholder of the bank, perhaps this is just an investment opportunity, obviously, Jamie Dimon is optimistic about the development of others.

"BOSS, although the Royal Bank of Scotland does have a huge influence in Scotland, the bank's shareholders are not only government departments, but also a large number of individual shareholders, Scottish and British consortium families, most of these rich families are not willing to let the bank become a real state-owned bank, besides, the country's money is not so easy to take. Jamie Dimon replied with a smile.

"Well, this is also true, after all, if the state takes the state's money, if the state completely occupies the status of a major shareholder, the bank will no longer belong to private or private, but completely become state-owned, besides, this is also contrary to the current financial policy in England and other places, after all, the original state-owned enterprises in Britain and even Europe are privatized. Li Feng realized it at this time and replied with a smile.

That is, in Western countries, the relationship between the consortium and the government has always been both antagonistic and mutually supportive, and the government has always had the will to suppress the power of the consortium, otherwise there would be no anti-monopoly law and other precedent laws. Jamie Dimon replied quipping again.

"So this is our chance to take a stake in the Royal Bank of Scotland?"

"I am personally optimistic about this investment, and the Royal Bank of Scotland has a huge influence and network resources in Scotland and the United Kingdom, which will be of great help to our new bank to establish itself in the financial community in the United Kingdom and even Europe. ”

"BOSS, I also think this is an opportunity. Wu Jianmin also interjected with a smile at this time.

“...”

......

"Okay, one of you is the chairman of the board of directors and CEO of the bank, and the other is the president of the bank and the vice chairman of the board of directors. ”

Thinking of the super performance of the Royal Bank of Scotland in the future, this is really a heart-warming proposal, Jamie Dimon deserves to be known as a 'super banker', and it is really a good vision, Li Feng is naturally 10,000 willing in his heart, but he still deliberately pretended to hesitate before giving a positive answer to the two.

"OK, BOSS, don't worry, we'll take care of it!"

"Well, you go and collect information first, and leave the latest documents on banking affairs, and I will take a good look at the situation of the Bank of São Paulo and the two new British banks, and then we will have a good gathering. ”

"Okay, then the boss will take our leave first, waiting for your notice. ”

"Okay, bye-bye!"

"Bye-bye!"
