065 Preparation for expansion

At the urging of Li Feng's phone call, Zach and Bill Willibe appeared in Li Feng's office within a few minutes.

"BOSS, what's wrong, so anxious for us to catch up. Later, when Bill arrived at the office, he saw that Zach was also there, and then asked with a smile.

Li Feng nodded and gestured to the two, and then went straight to the topic without talking nonsense, explaining the situation of East West Bank and Dahua Supermarket, and even explaining his own thoughts, especially for East West Bank, Li Feng hopes to be able to control after entering, which is ideal.

"BOSS, this is a good opportunity for us to intervene in the banking industry, although East West Bank is not a big bank, it is this kind of bank that has the opportunity for us to enter, if it is a big bank, our strength will not be able to withstand it.

Moreover, East West Bank relies on the development of Chinatown in the United States, the foundation is very stable, the Chinese are famous for their love of saving money, compared with the rest of the small banks in the United States, Huamei deposits have been good, if there is enough funds to develop, it will be a good project.

Also, BOSS you have your own investment company, although the current investment company is still in the initial stage, mainly for BOSS you personal service, but after all, the investment company will sooner or later involve the rest of the financial and service projects, if there is a bank behind it, it is the most perfect.

There is a rule that, according to U.S. law, it seems that only one of the main businesses can be chosen between a financial investment company and a savings bank. Finally, Bill Willibe said to himself with a slight frown.

……

As an elite talent on Wall Street, it is obvious that he is most concerned about the financial business, and after listening to Li Feng's words, Bill's first reaction was East West Bank.

Naturally, Li Feng also heard Bill Weibei's self-talk at the end. Li Feng is very clear about this, speaking of which, this article is still a law enacted by the US imperialist government in the early days of sanctioning consortiums, just like the anti-monopoly law.

For example, this is how the Morgan consortium or Morgan Bank was dismembered, and according to the Glass Steagall Banking Act, companies were prohibited from providing commercial and investment banking services at the same time.

Of course, Li Feng also knows that this regulation is about to exist in name only.

At that time, it was formulated to sanction these super consortia of US imperialism, but with the loss and dismemberment of the strength of these consortia, and the mutual penetration of consortia, whether it is Morgan Stanley or JPMorgan Chase, etc., it is no longer simply the Morgan family that has the final say.

It can be said that, in fact, under the perfection of the legal system in the modern society of US imperialism, it is difficult for family consortia such as Morgan, Rockefeller, and DuPont to appear again as they did at the beginning of the century.

However, Li Feng also knows that in the new century, it seems that those banks have merged with a large number of investment banks, and the regulations on the inability of commercial banks and investment banks to coexist seem to have been repealed within a few years.

For example, after the 08 financial crisis, banks such as Bank of America acquired some financial and investment banks on Wall Street, the most famous of which was Bank of America's $50 billion acquisition of Merrill Lynch, which shows that the so-called law that commercial banks and investment banks cannot coexist should be abolished.

At present, none of these large commercial banks has a financial investment department, and if it is separated, it will be a professional investment bank.

……

Li Feng told Bill William Bay about his considerations, and Bill stopped talking, after all, what Li Feng said was the truth, as a Wall Street background, he knew very well the current financial institutions of the United States, and then immediately shifted his focus to how to acquire East West Bank.

"Fortunately, today's East West Bank is not a listed company, and there is no need to report to the outside world for shares, so we can hide it for a while, Bill, and it will be up to you next.

By the way, is there a problem with the funds?" Li Feng then asked with concern.

Yes, whether it is a stake in East West Bank or Dahua Supermarket, if there is no capital, it is empty talk, of course, this capital is not Li Feng's own funds.

"BOSS, don't worry, the fund we issued before is very stable, and as your reputation grows louder and louder, a large amount of funds have come in, which is enough for us to acquire Huamei and Dahua.

As far as I know, East West Bank's overall strength is relatively weak, with total assets of no more than $2 billion and a market value of $3 or 400 million. Next, I will investigate the details of East West Bank and organize the acquisition team as soon as possible. Bill Willibe said excitedly.

Obviously, he is very interested in acquiring Huamei Bill Willibe, and even now he has felt that his boss is obviously not a safe master, and now he is starting to lay out the banking industry.

......

In fact, Li Feng doesn't understand the financial industry, with Li Feng, the fast-growing boss, in front, many people now recognize Li Feng's ability to make money and invest, so in the face of Li Feng's closed fund, many rich people have come in directly.

For these people, money is idle anyway, and Li Feng can maintain a profit of about 10% very steadily, so why not. You must know that many people's investments are lost.

Naturally, in addition to being used for his own development, there are also surplus funds, and Li Feng has invested them in the stock market, such as IBM, Cisco, Microsoft, Sun Computer Systems, etc., all of which have become the targets of the securities department under the name of Li Feng's investment company.

According to Li Feng's idea, such stocks can basically guarantee at least 10 times the return on investment before 2000, sometimes Li Feng thinks about it, and really feels like grabbing money, of course, there is a premise that you need capital.

……

"Okay, then so be it, Zach, your law firm is fully committed to assisting Bill to complete the stake agreement in East West Bank as soon as possible, and in the negotiations we can promise to maintain the current management of the bank, which is still good.

After completing the acquisition or acquisition of Huamei, and then negotiate with Dahua Supermarket, if successful, both companies will set up international business divisions, banks will start to develop in Hong Kong and Southeast Asia, and supermarkets need to start entering the mainland market of China immediately. Li Feng finally made a final decision.

After hearing Li Feng's talk about the future development of the two companies, everyone listened enthusiastically, and it was obvious that as long as Li Feng could buy shares or even acquire East West Bank, his career would enter a new level.

"By the way, Kelly, you didn't come from an economics background, give you a chance, you will be involved in the acquisition of East West Bank.

Of course, it's a great opportunity for you to be in charge from time to time and see more, listen more, and see how Bill works. At this time, Li Feng said to Lin Xilei on the side with a smile.

"Really?" Lin Xilei suddenly asked with a look of surprise.

"Of course, as my personal assistant, I want you to grow as soon as possible, and you should take advantage of this rare learning opportunity. ”

"Thank you owner, I will try. Lin Xilei suddenly replied excitedly.

……

Lin Xilei really didn't expect that Li Feng would let herself be involved in a big case like investing in East West Bank, and at this time, Lin Xilei had a little bit of a feeling that becoming Li Feng's personal assistant might really be better than being in the entertainment industry.

Even if you are in the entertainment industry, no matter how beautiful you are, can you still participate in acquisitions that cost hundreds of millions of dollars like now, and this is still a stake in the banking industry.

"Bill, you try to teach Kelly, as my personal assistant and mainly responsible for the financial aspects, you can't do it if you don't have the ability. Li Feng then turned his head to Bill Weilbe and said with a smile.

"Okay, then let's do it, act as soon as possible, I hope to see a gratifying result as soon as possible, it is better to acquire, if the acquisition is not successful, consider a controlling stake, and finally become a shareholder." Seeing Bill nodding to show that he understood, Li Feng said to everyone again.

Next, everyone chatted for a while and ended the meeting, but everyone was busy, but Li Feng was free again.
