After discussing with Bill and Li Shanquan, Li Feng returned to his office with the documents prepared by Li Shanquan before.

Through this material, Li Feng has a more detailed understanding of the situation of Standard Chartered Bank. At present, Standard Chartered Bank is listed in London and Mumbai, and is one of the local star stocks. Li Feng remembered that later generations seemed to be listed in Hong Kong, that is, they were listed in three places, and he thought to himself, it was so complicated to go to the market.

At present, the shares of Standard Chartered Bank are relatively scattered, mainly concentrated in the hands of several major shareholders, but the shares of each shareholder are not much, the largest of which is the Qiu family in Singapore, with about 13.5% of the shares, and the four daughters of the Bao family inherit about 7.5% of Bao Yugang's shares, and the Australian hotel tycoon Robert Houmu occupies about 6.7% of the shares.

These are the three white knights who once sniped Standard Chartered to be acquired and entered the board of directors of Standard Chartered in the 80s, of course, the first three held as much as 37% of the shares, but now there is a lot less.

At the beginning, Bao Yugang had the most and got 14.5 shares, but unfortunately, after Bao Yugang's death, the fourth daughter who inherited Bao Yugang Investment Group was very disappointed in Standard Chartered Bank, there was not enough return, and slowly there was not much interest.

The only exception is the Qiu family in Singapore, but the old man Qiu is constantly increasing his shareholdings, from less than 10% to 13.5% today, becoming the largest shareholder of Standard Chartered Bank, and there is a great tendency to change from a white knight to a black knight.

As for the rest of the major shareholders, including Aberdeen Capital (about 11.7%), Schroders Group (7.6%), Lloyds Bank (6%), and the Queenston family (about 8.2%), the chairman's family, and naturally, a large number of large and small shareholders, not to mention.

Li Feng's primary target is to put it on these three major white knight shareholders.

After all, the rest of the major shareholders are in the UK, and those shareholders in the UK have close ties to the management of Standard Chartered and the Gorston family, the nominal owners of Standard Chartered Bank, and now is not the time to get in touch.

……

Among them, the Stockton family is the management family of Standard Chartered Bank, Gorston was originally a senior worker, and was ordered to reorganize Standard Chartered Bank after World War II, that is, since then, the Goldston family has been the manager of Standard Chartered Bank, and even many family members are senior managers of Standard Chartered Bank. After all, the Goldston family is not an entrepreneur, so Standard Chartered Bank naturally has fewer shares.

However, both in the London headquarters and in the Hong Kong branch, there are members of the Coatston family. This family is the biggest obstacle to Li Feng's acquisition of Standard Chartered Bank, otherwise there would not have been the opportunity for the three white knights to snipe Standard Chartered to be acquired and then enter the board of directors of Standard Chartered.

Aberdeen Capital has always held shares in Standard Chartered for a long time, so it is more difficult for Li Feng to acquire, which means that it is more difficult for Aberdeen Capital and the Goldon family to acquire shares.

The rest, including Schroders Group and Lloyds Bank, can be acquired as long as the bid can meet their psychological expectations, but this needs to wait for Li Feng to take the initiative, if you venture now, it is estimated that it is unlikely.

As for the rest of the small shareholders, when the time comes, they can fight for it, and if they can't, forget it, at most, wait until they have a controlling stake, and then acquire or dilute their shares through various means, anyway, there are various methods.

Putting down the documents and materials related to Standard Chartered Bank in his hand, Li Feng couldn't help but lean back on the back chair and close his eyes and ponder, thinking about how to quickly achieve the goal of acquiring the shares in the hands of the three white knights, and to cut through the mess quickly and not give the current management of Standard Chartered Bank a chance to react.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but think of the connection between the wealthy Chinese families in Hong Kong and Southeast Asia, and then picked up the phone.

……

"Richard, it's me, St. John Lee. But it was Li Feng who directly dialed the phone number of Xiao Superman, the second son of the Li family.

"Richard, I'm here for you to have a reception. ”

"Haha... , Forget it, I don't need you to invite me, I want you to help see if your father is free tonight, I'm going to come to your house for dinner, don't mind?"

"OK, I'll wait for your call. ”

“…”

After a few casual chats, the two hung up the phone.

"Ringing Ringing ......" Less than 10 minutes, Li Zekai's phone called Li Feng's mobile phone.

"John, my father replied, saying that you are welcome to come to dinner in the evening, and to wait for the big driver. As soon as the phone was connected, Li Zekai's voice came, which made Li Feng feel happy.

"Okay, say hello to my uncle for me, then we'll see you in the evening!"

"Bye-bye!"

“…”

hung up the phone happily again, which made Li Feng feel very good.

Whether it is Li Feng or Li Zekai, the efficiency of the two of them is still quite high, and they feel a little resolute, and soon, the matter of Li Feng preparing to visit Li Chaoren was resolved.

……

"John, Standard Chartered Bank is one of the top 50 banks in the world, and it has the right to issue notes in Hong Kong, South Africa, Malaysia and other places. Seeing that Li Feng was all arranged, he was resting with his eyes closed, but Wang Siqing walked behind Li Feng, helped him press it on his temples, and then said with a smile.

"Standard Chartered is the easiest big banking group to acquire, and now East West Bank has begun to expand in the United States, and Standard Chartered has a strong presence in Asia, the Middle East, Africa and other places.

If we can join forces with Standard Chartered, East West Bank will expand mainly in the Americas, plus Standard Chartered's main markets, and if we can acquire a few European banks, then our financial banking consortium will be truly global. Li Feng said to Wang Siqing with the ambition in his heart.

"If only you could really think like you, it would be great!" Wang Siqing replied with a smile on his face.

"Standard Chartered is my ambition, this time I told the little Superman to visit his father, just hoping to get the help of the old Superman, if I can have his referral, maybe there will be a lot less trouble. Li Feng said with a smile again.

"Hmm... , then Li Chaoren's relationship with the Chinese shareholders should be good, right?"

"Hehe... The rich people in Hong Kong have always had a close relationship with the rich people in Southeast Asia and the South Seas. ”

"Hope everything goes your way and all the best!"

"Haha... , rest assured, according to my understanding, the Bao family and the Australian hotel tycoon are not big problems, they have been reducing their shares, as long as the bid is reasonable.

As for the Qiu family in Singapore, it seems that his children are not much interested in the shares of Standard Chartered Bank, and they are all running businesses such as industrial hotels. Li Feng patted the beauty's hand and replied with a smile.

……

As he was talking, Bill walked into the office with a young Chinese man in his 30s.

"BOSS, how many documents are here, maybe you are interested?" As soon as he entered the office, Bill smiled at Li Feng.

As he spoke, he took a folder from the Chinese man on the side and handed it to Wang Siqing, who came out.
