"It's a great idea to split the whole bank into four separate banks, which makes it easier to adapt to the environment around the world to develop the business, and it's a predominantly retail bank, with a strong stability and resilience, and it's really the perfect idea. After listening to Li Feng's words, John Rupert smiled and clapped his hand in admiration.

"Rupert, I hope to have your support!" Li Feng replied with a smile.

"John, I'm just a nominal director at Standard Bank. John Rupert, the South African tycoon, replied with a smile.

"Hehe... I don't think the members of the board of directors or even the shareholders' meeting of Standard Bank will be of the same mind, and there will always be people who will oppose it.

As long as you convince the majority and then you can buy the shares of the opponents directly, at least I can guarantee to recoup the shares at a price higher than 10% of your purchase price, as long as you want.

And, I believe in the influence of the Rupert family in South Africa. Li Feng replied with a smile again.

Li Feng directly gave him a guarantee, the implication is that it is easy to make your nominal director become a real-name director, as long as you invest in the acquisition of the shares of those who oppose it, you will not become a real-name director.

In the end, it is a reassuring pill for others, if you don't want the shares, you can resell them to Li Feng again and recover them at least 10 points higher than his purchase price. Naturally, in Li Feng's view, if you really want to buy shares, the possibility of selling them is very small, after all, no one is a fool, and everyone knows that if you really want to complete Li Feng's idea, the future is limitless.

……

"John, I will give feedback to the Board of Directors of Standard Bank on what you and Standard Chartered mean, and I hope we can all get a satisfactory outcome. Rupert thought for a moment and then smiled back.

"Okay, then I'll wait for your good news, I'll talk about the bank, and then we'll talk about something pleasant, Rupert, your Richemont Group is the target of my Sawa Group." ”

"Haha... , your other side of Sawa is now setting off a big wave in the high-end consumer goods industry, many brands are at their own risk, thinking about whether they will become your acquisition target. Rupert laughed and quipped.

"Hehe... , I'm not helpless, you should also see, I'm a kitten or two, want to become a big group like Richemont, LV, just started, I admire Rupert very much, give up the family industry to enter the luxury industry, from the development of today's Richemont Group, it can be seen that Rupert you have made a good deal. Li Feng replied with a sigh of relief.

In fact, in the late 90s, although it was a financial crisis in Asia, but in Europe and even the Americas, the economic development was excellent, not to mention the Internet bubble of the United States, and it was okay all over Europe, which also led to the current operation of luxury groups such as Richemont, which is currently dominated by the European and American markets.

In the first few years of the new century, the Internet bubble was broken, the economic development of Europe and the United States was slow or even regressed, until around 08, the development of the luxury industry was limited, the European and American economies regressed at that time, and the economic development of Asia represented by China was rapid, but after all, it was just starting, and the top luxury market was just starting like the economy.

In the first few years of the new century, the luxury industry was actually not good, especially the top luxury brand industry, at that time, Richemont and LV Group, through the acquisition of some second-tier brands, increased investment in these second-tier brands, slowed down the first-tier brands, and survived a few years in the form of small profits but quick turnover.

For example, a few years after the new century, Richemont almost went bankrupt, and Rupert eventually became CEO himself, selling half of the family's stake in British American Tobacco and paying off the 10 dollars in the group's arrears.

……

When the economy represented by China completely rose, and the huge demographic dividend of China was accompanied by the rapid development of the luxury industry, at that time, LV, Richemont and other groups began a new round of top luxury expansion, earning enough money from China and even all over Asia.

The only thing Richemont knew was that at the time of its rebirth, brands such as Boots, which initially dominated China but were only second-tier brands in Europe and the United States, had begun to decline, while the development of top brands was in full swing.

However, after nearly 10 years of golden development, the top luxury goods in the Chinese market have slowly begun to slow down, with today's Li Feng's eyes, in China, from around 10 years to around 20 years, this period of time should be the golden age of Chinese luxury goods.

After all, with the rise of China's economy at that time, those wealthy classes in China were accustomed to the original hard life, and suddenly found that there were so many top luxury goods to embellish in their own lives, and therefore, the luxury industry developed rapidly.

In Li Feng's words, it was a turtle and a nouveau riche at the beginning, and suddenly saw that the rich people in Europe and the United States were living like this, and the concept of luxury goods entered the eyes of many wealthy people in China.

However, after 10 years of super development, the general wealthy class has slowly returned to rationality, and at that time, these top brands still want to think about the initial crazy development, it is unlikely, and the market is also at that time when a hundred flowers bloom.

This is actually like a reincarnation, like Europe and the United States, when the level of development is general or even regressive, the development of those second- and third-tier brands, take the form of small profits and quick turnover, and when the second-tier economy develops rapidly, it will focus on the development of top brands, etc., and the profits of top luxury goods are very rich.

In addition to the top brands, those second- and third-tier brands are among Li Feng's acquisition targets, so that the anti-risk ability of his luxury group has been greatly strengthened, which is one of the reasons why Li Feng attaches great importance to second- and third-tier brands such as Boots.

......

Now, with Li Feng's wealth and the forward-looking vision of future generations, he naturally won't think that his group will follow Richemont and LV.

In the original history, the Pinault family has become one of the three major luxury groups by virtue of its own development, although in terms of ranking, it is at the bottom of the three. Now that there is a super predator like Li Feng to support, and he is still at the end of the three, it is too much to underestimate Li Feng's identity as a reborn.

With the knowledge of the past two years, Li Feng's vision can be said to be completely different from that ordinary person in his previous life, and such a development vision can never be analyzed by himself in his previous life.

However, now, from the economic development of all parts of the world, the analysis of industry development prospects, etc., it can be said that Li Feng has completely separated himself from the small Internet café owner in his previous life.

Vision and knowledge largely depend on a person's status in society, and those bigwigs who rose in China in the past life, to be honest, had any cultural knowledge at the beginning, but they didn't all become bigwigs in the country's economic circles later.

It's not that with one's own status in the society and knowledge, what kind of position a person is in the social level, what kind of words people will say, what kind of insight and experience will be obtained, and even knowledge, knowledge, and so on.

"John, your other side of the Sawa is not as simple as three or two kittens, I have heard a lot of news about your group before, I have been in contact with several brand owners and managers, there are various speculations about the next development of your group, and the reactions are also different, I am looking forward to it, after all, we are the same kind of people. Rupert replied with a smile.

"The same kind of people? Li Feng echoed with a smile.

……

The positioning of the two in the luxury industry is a bit of the same kind of people, whether it is Richemont or Sawa or LV, luxury groups want to develop, acquisition is naturally the main means, after all, the top brand with orderly inheritance is so much.

Richemont mainly focuses on jewelry and watches, while Li Feng is currently mainly in fashion brands and has the most direct competition with LV, so the development of Sawa on the other side, at least for now, has little impact on himself.

It's a pity that Rupert is not a roundworm in Li Feng's stomach after all, and he won't know what Li Feng is thinking, and it won't be long before he may be like the current LV's Arnot, who regards Sahua on the other side as the most direct opponent.
