246 Standard Chartered New Era
Li Feng's arrival again caused London to fall into a shock, from the initial Standard Chartered shock to Chelsea's crazy victory, all of which made Li Feng's reputation shake in the UK.
Similarly, Li Feng's arrival was fruitful, just three days after the team's big victory, the British Banking Regulatory Commission finally approved the acquisition of Standard Chartered Bank, and since then, Li Feng has officially taken the old British bank into the bag.
With the approval of the UK Banking Regulatory Commission, the global financial community has commented on it, although shareholders have indicated that the acquisition of Standard Chartered is a fund company established in the British Cayman Islands, and behind this fund company is a series of private equity funds controlled by complex cross-share swaps.
If you want to investigate the details of this fund company, you really can't do it, from an external point of view, Li Feng personally does not own a single share of Standard Chartered, but most of the media still implied that Li Feng is the behind-the-scenes controller of Standard Chartered.
At the recent press conference, Wu Jianmin led the new Standard Chartered management as interim chairman, and Wu Jianmin announced the proof that the fund company controls 72% of the shares of Standard Chartered (a part of the shares controlled by Huaxia has also been transferred), naturally, such a holding surprised everyone who does not know the situation.
Li Feng naturally smiled at the kindness of the Chinese government, after all, the shares of Standard Chartered Group are really what he needs, and similarly, Standard Chartered Huaxia Company has also begun to be registered and established in Xiangjiang, and the shares, management, etc. need to be negotiated slowly by all parties.
Although Li Feng got the shares of Huaxia Company, people are not worried that the shares will be taken by Li Feng, or they will find trouble in Standard Chartered Huaxia Company, after all, if you personally want to find a big country, it is really looking for death.

In addition to announcing the shares, at the press conference, Wu Jianmin also announced the next series of operations of the Century Standard Chartered Financial Holding Group, such as the idea of making the name of Standard Chartered worthy of its name, that is, to carry out another 'merger' with Standard Bank, although it is a merger, but this time it is a direct offer of 4 billion US dollars for a direct acquisition merger.
In addition, Standard Chartered Group made a decision to package and sell Standard Chartered Group's business in Europe and the United States to East West Bank Group, and at the same time, East West Bank changed its name to Century Standard Standard Standard (USA) Bank Group, and established Century Standard Chartered (Huaxia) Bank Group Company.
In other words, after the merger of East West Bank and Standard Chartered Bank, it will be divided into three, in addition to the original British Standard Chartered Group, there are two major banking groups, Huaxia and American Imperial, and the Century Standard Chartered Financial Holding Group will be established as the controlling party, respectively holding three financial banks facing the world.
Of course, according to Wu Jianmin, if South Africa's Standard Bank agrees to the acquisition plan, it may be divided into four, and similarly, the Standard Chartered (South Africa) Bank Group of Century will be established.
The new Century Standard Chartered Financial Holding Group has also been registered, and it is also registered in the British Virgin Islands.
Finally, on behalf of the board of directors of the shareholders behind the scenes, Wu Jianmin also put forward a request to the original shareholders who were still 'fighting' with Standard Chartered to buy shares, saying that it was in line with the principle of friendship and warned them that if they did not want to let their shares finally go down the drain, he hoped to negotiate and decide on the final issue of share ownership.
Finally, Wu Jianmin, on behalf of the new Standard Chartered Group, announced that he had decided to officially start the privatization process of Standard Chartered, and also promised that when the integration of Standard Chartered was completed, he would consider re-listing, and at that time, it may be listed in New York, London, Hong Kong and even South Africa.
It can be said that such a large-scale integrated banking group has shocked the entire world financial circle, and everyone knows that a world's top large bank has officially debuted, and Li Feng, the behind-the-scenes controller, has officially begun to influence the world.

"BOSS, where do you think the Standard Chartered celebration reception is appropriate?" Not to mention the complexity of the outside world, in the office of the chairman of the Standard Chartered Building at this time, Li Feng and Wu Jianmin and a group of Standard Chartered executives were discussing where the Standard Chartered celebration reception would be held.
"What do you think, is it better to go to the hotel, or directly in the company?" asked Li Feng with a smile.
"It doesn't feel right, and it hasn't been decided yet. β
"Either I'll open my villa at 15 Kensington Street to you for a cocktail party. Li Feng suggested with a smile.
Previously, Li Feng bought three villas in Kensington Garden Street, of which Nos. 18 and 19 were connected, Li Feng directly removed the separation belt between the two and became two adjacent villa residences together, covering an area that naturally became the largest mansion in the entire Garden Street.
The two mansions alone have an area of nearly 3,000 square meters, plus the original two gardens, parking lots, etc., but the entire mansion covers an area of more than 8,000 square meters, which is also unique in the entire Kensington Garden Street.
Now this mansion has been officially moved in by Li Feng, and No. 15 is empty after the renovation is completed, except for arranging cleaning twice a week.
"BOSS, forget it on the 15th, but I think the place where you live is good, you seem to live in Villa 18, and Villa 19 is a little bigger, isn't it a better place to hold a cocktail party?"
"If you think it's possible, I'll have no problem, and I'll celebrate my stay. Li Feng joked with a smile.
"That's the best, firstly, Kensington Garden Street is very private, and there will be no media to go in to interview or anything, and secondly, Garden Street is also surrounded by embassies, rich and nobles of various countries, and it can be regarded as a BOSS You can say hello to these neighbors. β
"Okay, then let's decide, Dominic, you go and arrange a time. Li Feng thought about it for a while, and thought it was really good, so he immediately replied after settling down.

"BOSS, here's a very interesting visit post, which I just received this morning. After chatting about Standard Chartered, Wu Jianmin suddenly smiled and handed Li Feng an unopened envelope.
"Where did this come from?"
"It was John Rupert, the personal assistant to Richemont's chairman, who came here this morning with someone and handed it over. β
"Richemont?" Li Feng said to himself in confusion as he opened the envelope and pulled out a post.
In addition to a visit poster, there was a gilded business card, which was John Rupert's name and a personal contact number.
Li Feng of Richemont Group is naturally no stranger, whether it is in the past life or in this life, Richemont Group, one of the world's three major luxury empires, has naturally heard of it, and now Richemont has become a giant second only to LV in the luxury industry.
At this time, the Richemont Group owned a luxury empire of more than 10 brands such as Vacheron Constantin, Cartier, Dunhill, Montblanc, etc., and if nothing else, there will be major brands including Jaeger-LeCoultre, Lange & SΓΆhne, and IWC in the future.
When Li Feng decided to step into the luxury industry, he naturally conducted an investigation on Richemont and LV, and it is not surprising that he has an understanding of it, but at this time, people suddenly want to visit him, what kind of medicine is sold in this gourd, and he has no intersection with others.

"BOSS, I think it might be because of the problem with Standard Bank. β
"Standard Bank of South Africa?" Li Feng said to himself.
"Yes, since we announced that we want to acquire Standard Bank, the stock price of Standard Bank of South Africa has risen in response, as the controller of the second most wealthy family in South Africa - John Rupert, he also has another identity, that is, the nominal director of Standard Bank of South Africa, maybe people came to explore the way in advance, right?" Wu Jianmin responded with a smile.
"I see?"
"Of course, maybe it's more than that, after all, BOSS, your Sawa Group on the other side of the century is also involved in the luxury industry, and it can be regarded as a peer, maybe people want to come and communicate with you!"
"Haha... Hopefully!"
