389 Finally to the Lion City
Before dinner that day, Li Feng received a call from Wu Guangzheng, saying that he was helping to contact the widow of the Australian White Knight, and mentioned it slightly, and finally said that the other party was also interested, and gave Li Feng a phone call and asked Li Feng to contact the other party directly.
There is a saying that 'those who are difficult will not, those who will not be difficult', this is the same as doing things, with a wide range of contacts, this matter is so simple, through the Bao family directly contacted the widow of an Australian hotel tycoon, one of the three white knights, and Wu Guangzheng directly understood, and handed over the bottom to the people, and the people did intend to sell.
It turns out that the Australian hotel tycoon among the three white knights also died in 92, and now his fortune is in the hands of his 52-year-old widow. Yes, when the tycoon died, his wife was only 47 years old, anyway, it is normal for the tycoon's wife to be dozens of years younger than himself.
Naturally, Li Feng doesn't know much about this woman named Janet Houmus, but this Australian female tycoon is also a capable person, and Janet, who has never experienced the business world, has taken over the business since her husband's death, and has run very well, and was once called 'Australia's richest woman'.
Even in the future, the richest woman in Australia will participate in the Australian election, it is said that Australia wanted to break away from the Commonwealth and implement the presidential system, and the richest woman wanted to run for president, and the voice was still very high.
Li Feng, who came from later generations, naturally understood that Australia still did not leave the Commonwealth in the end, anyway, when Li Feng was reborn, Australia was still a Commonwealth.
Speaking of which, it is simply that Wu Guangzheng has helped to convince the other party, just waiting for Li Feng to contact others, and wait for a direct offer to acquire, looking at the contact information recorded in his hand, Li Feng shook his head, temporarily stopped the boring idea, and it is true to do practical things.
After looking at the time, considering the time difference between Xiangjiang and Sydney, I found that Sydney was only around 8 o'clock in the evening, so I immediately picked up the phone and dialed it, thinking that I would contact it first, otherwise it would be too insincere.
……
Hanging up the phone, Li Feng felt a burst of excitement in his heart.
The effect of the phone call is very obvious, after Li Feng's phone is connected, the other party is also very polite, when Li Feng expressed his intentions, the other party is very direct, saying that he listened to Pete Wu (Wu Guangzheng's English name), Li Feng is ready to directly buy at the market value before the financial crisis.
However, the richest woman in Australia said that the price was low, and in the end, Li Feng entered into a bargain on the phone, and promised to pay a premium of 10% again, which finally satisfied people's appetites.
Li Feng agreed with him on the phone that he would send someone to Sydney to sign the contract directly, as for himself, he said that it was because he wanted to buy Standard Chartered, and he really couldn't pull away, and he hoped to be more considerate.
After thinking for a moment, he took the phone again and dialed Bill Willibe's mobile phone.
"Bill, I'll tell you something, first, send someone to Australia immediately, the shares of the Standard Chartered White Knight in Australia have reached a transfer agreement, oh, you better go in person and keep in touch at any time."
The second point is to let people accelerate the acquisition of Standard Chartered shares from the stock market, and strive to maintain our shares in the stock market to more than 20%, the more the better. ”
"BOSS, this will make our costs a lot higher, and the second is that Standard Chartered will understand the situation in less than 2 days. ”
"I can't care so much, the Bao family and Australia have won, a total of almost 13% of the shares, and then I will go to Singapore and talk to the Qiu family in person, but the person has about 15% of the shares, and I will do this part of the shares."
If we win, plus the 11% stake we hold temporarily, it will be nearly 40%, and we hope to increase at least 10% of the stake to allow us to control, and we must not miss such an opportunity. ”
"BOSS, I understand, I'm booking a ticket for this wine. ”
"No, go directly by private jet, I've arranged it. ”
“…”
……
The next day, Li Feng directly took people to the headquarters of the Global Investment Group in Xiangjiang, and signed a transfer agreement with the daughters and sons-in-law of the Bao family, and the price was actually not expensive.
I have to say that Standard Chartered has not increased much from the original three white knights to now, and in 86 years, when the three white knights became the owners, the market value of Standard Chartered was only 3, 4 billion pounds, and after 10 years of development, the peak market value has only just broken through the 10 billion mark.
Before the financial crisis broke out, in fact, the crisis had already broken out in Southeast Asia, and Standard Chartered's performance was mainly in Asia, the Middle East, Africa and other places, and Asia was naturally the top priority.
At this time, the domestic economy has not yet risen, and the situation in Southeast Asia and other places is erosive, resulting in Standard Chartered's financial statements and so on are ugly, and the stock market performance will naturally not be good.
Before the outbreak of the financial crisis, the market value of Standard Chartered Bank had fallen below the 10 billion mark, and at this time, the Bao family did not quote indiscriminately, and finally calculated with a market value of 8 billion US dollars, 6.5% of the shares cost Li Feng about 600 million US dollars.
Similarly, the contract stipulates that after the official acquisition of Standard Chartered, Standard Chartered will give a total of $3 billion in loans to Wheelock and Global Shipping.
Not long after Li Feng signed the agreement with the Bao family, in the afternoon, Bill William Bay also came with good news from the Australian side, and he successfully obtained a 4.8% stake from Robert Houmous's widow with a market value of $9 billion and spent $432 million.
The shares of the two are even less than Li Feng thought, originally thought that there could be a 13%, but the result was only 11.3%, obviously, the two had quietly reduced their shares again, which made Li Feng a little disappointed.
After saying goodbye to the Bao family, after receiving Bill's notice, he called the richest Australian woman again to express his gratitude Yunyun, which made the richest Australian woman feel a lot better.
……
Although Li Feng kept the Bao family and Robert's widow secret, Li Feng knew that this secrecy was useless, after all, Li Feng chose to buy their shares, although he chose to do it secretly, but there were really a lot of people and things involved, and therefore, Li Feng chose to make a quick decision.
When the shares of the Bao family and the Hou Musi family were obtained, Li Feng did not wait for Bill to come back, and directly borrowed Li Chaoren's private jet to fly directly to Singapore, and Li Feng also stepped into this famous and prosperous city known as the "Lion City" that night.
"Hello Mr. Lee, I'm James Wade, Manager of Amex Singapore!"
When Li Feng and his entourage walked from the airport apron to the VIP room, there were already people waiting to greet them, this is the manager of Yuntong in Singapore, and they personally brought people to the airport to greet them, in order to serve Li Feng.
"Hello, James, excuse me!"
"Mr. Li, you are polite, it is my honor to meet you!"
"Not to mention anything else, the service of Yuntong, I have always been very satisfied, has the hotel room been booked?"
"Of course, according to what you said, there are three adjoining suites on the top floor of the Goodwood Park Hotel. ”
"OK, let's go!"
"Please...!"
