418 Standard Chartered Board of Directors
Regarding the obvious targeting and opposition attitude of the previous chairman of Standard Chartered and Levine Goldtown, Li Feng naturally did not give people a good look, but had a good chat with Davis, the CEO, looking at the situation outside, Li Feng knew that the first two guys were obviously the main force of opposition.
The same is true of the situation I learned from Wu Jianmin before, Davis, the chief executive officer, is not bad, and I heard Wu Jianmin say that he has talked to him and expressed goodwill. In fact, the internal management of Standard Chartered and so on cannot be of one mind, it is nothing more than a crackdown on a group to win over a group.
From the office area of Standard Chartered to the exhibition hall of Standard Chartered, Li Feng, accompanied by Davis, the chief executive officer, and a group of Standard Chartered bigwigs, took a good walk, and finally the group arrived at the round table in the meeting room of the board of directors, management committee and shareholder representatives of Standard Chartered, which looked a little simple.
"Everyone, I think you should understand my intention, I don't know what you think next?" Li Feng sat down on the main seat of the conference room, watching the people on both sides sit one after another, Li Feng said with a smile.
"Mr. Li, the CBRC has not yet formally approved the acquisition of Standard Chartered. As soon as Li Feng's words fell, the chairman hurriedly said.
"Oh... , Really, Dominic, have you shown them our share acquisition documents?" Li Feng ignored the words of others, and naturally did not want to see him because this was obviously unfriendly to him, and directly turned his head to Wu Jianmin, who was sitting first on the left, and ordered.
"Oh... , BOSS, I forgot, this is not, now I already have a copy of the document, I sent it to Mr. Brian they verify it. Wu Jianmin also replied as if he had really forgotten.
After speaking, he also took out a stack of documents from his briefcase and distributed them to the original Standard Chartered management, directors, and shareholders sitting across from him.
……
"Impossible, how can you have 65% of the shares so quickly?" As soon as the documents were distributed, as everyone flipped through them, Gao Shiton, who was suddenly sitting in second place on the right, suddenly exclaimed loudly.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Sir, but I think it's true. Li Feng replied with a smile.
"How is that possible...?"
"You see, although it has not yet been officially approved by the British Banking Regulatory Commission, I think it has reached such a point that the resistance should not be very large, right?" Li Feng replied confidently.
Today's Li Feng is very confident, even if the British government has the intention to obstruct it, there is no way, the shares occupy too much, Standard Chartered originally had no major shareholders, they are all small shareholders, and now he is the only one, and no one can stop his acquisition.
"Mr. Li, it looks like we're going to congratulate you on officially owning Slag. ”
"Yes, Mr. John, I hope to have a good cooperation in the future!"
“…”
Many shareholder representatives and directors who were originally opposed saw that the shares stated in the documents in their hands had reached 65, and several immediately changed their attitudes, and many of them immediately slapped their farts at Li Feng, which made Li Feng laugh in his heart.
"You...?" looked at the stunned appearance of Levine Goldston and Chairman Brian, which made Li Feng even more amused.
"Levine, Brian, obviously, Mr. Li's acquisition of Standard Chartered is a foregone conclusion, and since this is the case, then we naturally hope to be able to cooperate happily with Mr. Li in the future, right?"
"Yes, Levin. ”
“…”
At this time, everyone knew that the management authority of Standard Chartered for nearly half a century from the restructuring of the Standard Chartered family after World War II to the present has finally come to an end, and Standard Chartered will enter a new stage.
……
"Okay, since the one who should have left has left, then let's talk about the situation of Standard Chartered, although Standard Chartered has a very good reputation, but I have never understood why Standard Chartered always rumors of being acquired, what is the reason?" As the chairman of Citigroup and the opposition represented by Levine Goldton left, Li Feng asked with a smile at some of the shareholders who remained.
"BOSS, I think, one is that the scale is too small, and now the market value of Standard Chartered is just over 10 billion US dollars, such a volume and the main market of Standard Chartered is in emerging markets such as Asia, Africa and Latin America, no wonder financial consortiums want to acquire, which will become the best supplement to those international financial giants.
Second, the shares are too dispersed, and more than 10% of the shareholders of Standard Chartered so far are only the Qiu family in Singapore, and the Coatston family, which has controlled Standard Chartered for half a century, only has less than 8% of the shares.
Such a company with attractive market prospects, small market capitalization, and such a dispersed shareholder is naturally the goal of everyone. Wu Jianmin smiled and echoed below.
"Next, I announce the appointment of Mr. Dominic, President of East West Bank, who will become the new Chairman of Standard Chartered Bank, and will take the full helm of Standard Chartered. ”
"Mr. Li, are you going to merge Huamei with Standard Chartered?"
“No… Our company is called Standard Chartered Bank, which obviously doesn't seem to be worthy of its name at the moment, and since we still use the name Standard Chartered, I want it to live up to its name. ”
"Do you want to renegotiate a re-acquisition of Standard Bank of South Africa or a re-merger?" asked one of the directors in surprise.
"If it's possible, why not?" Li Feng replied confidently.
"Oh my God..."
"What an appetite..."
……
Standard Chartered Bank also has a name, that is, Standard Chartered Bank, at the end of the 60s, by the merger of South Africa's Standard Bank and the British Standard Chartered Bank, when Standard Chartered acquired 39% of the shares of Standard Bank, becoming the largest shareholder, which is the origin of the Standard Chartered Bank.
Unfortunately, at the end of the 80s, the British Standard Chartered Group sold its 39% stake in Standard Bank, although it continued to use the name Standard Chartered.
"The sale of Standard Bank's shares was also decided by the Cowston family and some shareholders, and we were actually against it at the time, otherwise we wouldn't have had to be so troublesome. Someone complained below.
"Mr. Li, if you can really fulfill your vision, how will the company's shares be distributed?" another shareholder representative asked.
"The first step is to integrate Standard Chartered internally, we must ensure that Standard Chartered has a unified internal decree, and if necessary, we may start privatization, and when we achieve our goals, we can consider a unified listing, and I think the market value of the company will be satisfactory to everyone.
Next, we will consider merging with Huamei or cooperating with each other, such as selling Standard Chartered's Americas business, which is losing money every year, to Huamei, so that Huamei and Standard Chartered can be perfectly connected.
Finally, I immediately contacted Standard Bank, and I think that there are always directors on the board of directors and the company's management who are familiar with Standard Bank, so they will take the lead and start contacting.
Dominic, I'll leave it to you next, the whole consortium of the century is now in a state of expansion, I can't stay in London for long, in two days I have a meeting with Prince Charles, the Queen and Prime Minister Tony Blair, and I will get the approval of the British Banking Regulatory Commission as soon as possible. ”
"BOSS, I understand, don't worry!" Wu Jianmin replied affirmatively.
Listening to Li Feng's ambitious words, the hearts of those who sat down again were shocked.
……
"Levin is still thinking of lobbying the government to get them to oppose it?"
"It turned out that they had been contacted a long time ago, no wonder Levine and Brian's lobbying had no effect at all. ”
"Mr. Li is said to have a good relationship with Her Majesty the Queen, Prince Charles, and the new Prime Minister, didn't Mr. Li buy Rolls-Royce last time, and now many real estate tourism projects in London, Mr. Li's company has participated in it. ”
"Brian and Levin are destined to be busy in vain!"
"It's been destined for a long time, it's not a grade confrontation at all!"
