066 The capital consortium behind East West Bank

Within 2 days, Bill pulled up a negotiation team, including lawyers, accountants, asset management, negotiators, etc., and in the next week, Li Feng also paid attention to the negotiations between Bill and Huamei.

"BOSS, that's roughly the case now, the boss behind Huamei wants to meet you. ”

In the office, Bill made a detailed report to Li Feng about his recent contact with Huamei, and it turned out that the boss behind Huamei Bank wanted to talk to Li Feng.

"Oh, who is the boss behind that?" asked Li Feng with interest.

"This is a basic information of our investigation, and there is no more detailed information for the time being. Bill said after handing a document to Li Feng at this time.

"I didn't expect that this is the case behind Huamei. After a quick flip through it, Li Feng muttered to himself.

Li Feng didn't think that the boss behind Huamei was a Chinese family from Indonesia, and the backstage boss was called Lin Dexiang, but unfortunately Li Feng, who was lonely and unheard of in his previous life, really hadn't heard of it.

However, after reading the information, I realized that this family is really not to be underestimated, with family assets of more than 10 billion US dollars, and it is also one of the famous Chinese wealthy families in Southeast Asia.

……

After studying in the United States in the 60s, Lin Dexiang returned to the family business to develop and develop the family business Giti Group into a major vehicle tire manufacturer with a shrewd investment vision and excellent business management skills.

Today's Lin Dexiang family is well-known in Hong Kong and Southeast Asia, even in Hong Kong and Southeast Asia, and it is one of the top families in the traditional rich circle in Hong Kong and Southeast Asia.

It was Lin Dexiang and his wife who invested in Huamei at the beginning, obviously the head of the Lin family has the essence of investment, although Huamei has developed slowly in his hands, but it is very stable and has a solid foundation, and has quietly extended his hand into the American banking industry and gained a firm foothold.

The history of later generations has proved that it is indeed correct, the shrewd Lin Dexiang has long valued the development of the Chinese mainland, and the Asian financial crisis broke out in the later generations, and the Indonesian Chinese were persecuted, and the Lin Dexiang family has long ago shifted the family focus to the Chinese mainland.

It is also because of this relationship that it is said that later relying on the United States and Greater China, East West Bank introduced a consortium with Chinese backgrounds.

Huamei made a series of mergers and acquisitions after having funds, and eventually became one of the top 30 banks in the United States, with a market value of 5 or 6 billion yuan and assets under management of 3 or 4 billion US dollars.

……

In '91, he came into contact with Wu Jianmin, the current president of Huamei, who was working at Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu and was mainly responsible for advising clients from Asia on investment business.

Through Wu Jianmin's connections, he acquired East West Bank for 40 million US dollars, and then also spent about 20 million yuan to acquire another bank that was about to go bankrupt, and after merging and reorganizing the two banks, it became a Huamei Bank with assets of nearly 1 billion US dollars and a market value of nearly 100 million.

Under this premise, Wu Jianmin was valued by Lin Dexiang and his wife, was recruited to work in Huamei, and finally became the president of Huamei, and according to the history of later generations, he was appointed as the chairman of Huamei after 98 years.

Now, after several years of steady development, East West Bank has become a company with a market value of about $300 million or $400 million in Chinatown.

And this time it was the Lin family helmsman who sent a message, hoping to meet Li Feng, a famous young genius in the United States, naturally, Li Feng agreed with a smile.

……

In fact, the shareholding matter was almost discussed, Li Feng invested 100 million US dollars and a premium of 20% to acquire 25% of the shares of East West Bank, and then injected 200 million US dollars into the bank to prepare for the next acquisition, and finally controlled 50% of the shares of East West Bank Group and became the controlling shareholder, which means that East West Bank was valued at 400 million US dollars, and it was almost finally signed.

This is thanks to the help of the management led by Wu Jianmin Li Feng, who believes that Li Feng's addition can allow the bank to expand and develop rapidly, otherwise it would not have been so smooth, naturally, Li Feng's bid can be regarded as satisfying to all shareholders.

That's right, in the U.S. imperialist enterprises, these professional managers are so good, and many professional managers are much more powerful and powerful than the founders of the company.

Naturally, large and small shareholders are not as stubborn as people think, and professional managers help shareholders get enough returns.

Obviously, the final signing may be after Li Feng and Lin Dexiang met, since people have made such a request, Li Feng naturally will not refuse, although he doesn't know the reason for seeing him.

Of course, after the signing, it still needs to be approved by an institution like the Huaxia Banking Regulatory Commission, but such a thing is just a matter of going through the procedure, and it is estimated that the institutions of the United States are also willing to see Li Feng, a person of American origin, take control of East West Bank.

Of course, if you want a Chinese company or a foreign investor to buy a bank of the US imperialists, then the scrutiny will be strict.

……

"Hello, Mr. Lin!"

Two days later, under the recommendation of Wu Jianmin, at the Los Angeles headquarters of East West Bank, Li Feng met Lin Dexiang, the capital controller behind Huamei, the helmsman of the Indonesian Giti Group and the Lin family, and I heard that he came from Indonesia yesterday.

"Mr. Li, hello, I have long heard about Mr. Li's deeds, he is really a hero and a teenager, but I didn't expect that Mr. Li's Chinese is more standard than me, a self-proclaimed Chinese. ”

"Mr. Lin has won the award, the kid is just starting out, and he needs a lot of care from his predecessors, I am very happy to be able to cooperate with Mr. Lin this time, and I hope that we can maintain friendly cooperation in the future and strive for a greater degree of cooperation." Li Feng then replied with a meaningful smile.

Li Feng's side includes negotiators, lawyer groups, asset management, finance, etc., while Huamei's side, in addition to Lin Dexiang, the actual controller, is Huamei's management and a number of large and small shareholders.

After getting to know the many shareholders, Li Feng didn't find a shareholder with a Chinese-funded background, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, after all, if it involves the country, it may be more complicated.

Thinking to myself, it seems that the capital injection of Chinese background should be after the Asian financial crisis.

After Wu Jianmin brought everyone to the conference room, Lin Dexiang and Li Feng left the conference room and went to the chairman's office.

……

After the two sat down, they drank the best Longjing tea brought in by the secretary and chatted.

"I heard that Mr. Li likes to drink Huaxia tea, and it seems that it is true. Looking at Li Feng's skillful tea-drinking action, Lin Dexiang immediately said with a smile.

"Haha... , I don't know how to taste tea, it's just a vassal elegance, which makes Mr. Lin smile. ”

"Mr. Li, to be honest, the original investment in the acquisition of Huamei was just to make use of the idle funds in my hands, you may already know, my main business is in the automobile tire manufacturing industry, after all, Indonesia's rubber is famous all over the world. Lin Dexiang joked with a smile and self-deprecation.

"Yes, speaking of Indonesia, Mr. Lin should be careful in his development in Indonesia, those natives like to bully the Chinese the most, and the Chinese in Indonesia have been persecuted in the past. ”

At this time, Li Feng thought of the persecution of Indonesian Chinese in later generations, and then kindly mentioned it.

Sure enough, after hearing Li Feng's words, Lin Dexiang may have found half of his bosom friend and talked about the situation of the Chinese in Indonesia that he knew.

At the same time, he said that he has now invested in the mainland, and his future focus will be on the mainland, and Indonesia has only become a source of rubber raw materials.

After chatting for a while, Lin Dexiang began to change the topic and talked about the matter of Li Feng's shareholding in Huamei this time.
