"Mr. Wu, this time, East West Bank and Tianya Investment will acquire Standard Chartered Bank together, so will East West Bank and Standard Chartered merge next, or will it integrate all aspects of the business of Standard Chartered and East Asia, Standard Chartered will focus on Asia, the Middle East, and Africa, while East West Bank will focus on Europe and the United States, and operate separately?"

At this time, the press conference was broadcast live on TV, and Wu Jianmin and Bill Weilbei were presiding over the press conference on the rostrum of the TV and were receiving inquiries from media reporters.

"Hello, first of all, thank you for coming, although we currently control more than 50% of the shares, but we will not stop the acquisition of shares of Standard Chartered, and then we will contact the management of Standard Chartered Group headquarters and many shareholders, hoping that it can be smooth.

As for the future management of Standard Chartered and East West Bank, this is still under discussion for the time being, and it is possible that they will merge or go their separate ways. Wu Jianmin replied to him with a smile.

Now it's up to the New York Times reporter to ask a question. As the host's words fell, a new media reporter got up and asked.

"Bill, first of all, congratulations on your successful acquisition of Standard Chartered's semi-CNC shares, as the investment salary controller of Mr. St. John Lee, does it mean that Standard Chartered Bank will become a new banking group under Mr. St. John Lee in the future?"

"Oh... I think anyone who knows a little bit of financial knowledge knows that investment companies initially began to develop through financing and accepting financial custody from others, and the original Tianya Investment was no exception.

Although due to the company's management rules, we will not announce the shareholders behind the scenes to you in detail, but I think through the Forbes list and other channels, you should also understand that although Mr. John is also our boss, he is only a major shareholder of a company.

Including East West Bank and Wall Street and other major financial groups, the shareholders behind the scenes include individual billionaires, major investment institutions, etc., the members are very complex, therefore, you say that Mr. St. John Lee acquired Standard Chartered, which is obviously incomplete, this is the cooperation of two major financial investment institutions. ”

……

Listening to Bill's reply on TV, Li Feng, who was sitting at Bai Jiadao's house and lying on the sofa watching TV with Wang Siqing in his arms, couldn't help but chuckle, and also made the beauty in his arms laugh for a while.

Next, major financial media and some large media reporters asked questions, from the behind-the-scenes controllers of the acquisition fund jointly established by Huamei and Tianya Investment to the purpose and prospects of the two major financial groups, and then to various news and gossip about Li Feng, the behind-the-scenes controller, which made the scene very lively.

With the convening of the press conference, this time, in addition to those professionals, ordinary people really paid attention to it, especially in the United Kingdom, the headquarters of Standard Chartered Group, and all over Asia, the Middle East and Africa, which caused a commotion.

At this time, Li Feng deliberately chose to start at 4 o'clock in the evening, which was about 9 o'clock in the morning in London, and London happened to be already at work.

In fact, at this time, in the Standard Chartered Group headquarters building in London, a group of group management, representatives of major shareholders, and major directors of the board of directors gathered in a large conference room in the Standard Chartered headquarters building, which was also very lively.

"How can this be, how can it be so fast, our regulators are all eating for nothing, why is there no news?" Sir Christopher, the head of the Goldston family and the executive director of the board of directors of Standard Chartered Group, muttered to himself in the comfort of the director's chair at this time, obviously unable to accept such a blow.

The people in the conference room have different thoughts, and they also report pitiful, sympathetic or ridicule for this, among which the shareholder representative of Rice Bank is the most, but the shareholder representative of Rice Bank at this time has a smile on his face, and he is still thinking in his heart, let you be proud, this time you have encountered an iron plate, and it is a super iron plate.

Thinking about the time Rice Bank also wanted to acquire Standard Chartered, but the Goldston family and the three white knights invested in Standard Chartered, so that Rice Bank's acquisition of Standard Chartered fell short, and now there is only one small shareholder left, almost only about 10% of the shares, Rice Bank's depression can be imagined.

……

In addition to the representatives of Rice Bank, there are also several family members of the Stockton family, all of whom are in the conference room at this time, and the Stockton family was just a wage earner at Standard Chartered at first, from an ordinary employee to a Standard Chartered overclass, and even the last shareholder, the process and difficulty are not to be said.

At the beginning, after World War II, Sir Goldon was ordered to reorganize Standard Chartered, and it was from that time that the Goldston family got about 8% of the shares of Standard Chartered, and became one of the shareholders and bosses of Standard Chartered from a working man.

However, after all, the Goldston family is not enough, Standard Chartered's shares have never exceeded 10%, and in the face of the menacing major financial investment institutions, they can only find help from external institutions, which was the case with the three white knights at the beginning.

Since the reorganization of Standard Chartered after World War II, the Stockton family has indeed regarded Standard Chartered as the core asset of the family, and the Stockton family is also considered to be an elite, and there are many senior executives within Standard Chartered Bank.

If you think about it with your ass, you can know that after Li Feng, the son of wealth of the American imperialists, took over Standard Chartered, the fate of the Goldston family is conceivable, after all, the family has been in business for decades, and as the new boss, it will definitely suppress its influence quickly.

In addition, Li Feng now holds more than half of the CNC shares, has a controlling stake in Standard Chartered, and has enough financial resources, and owns two major financial institutions, East West Bank and Tianya Investment Group, and some methods will dilute or acquire the shares of the major shareholders of Standard Chartered Bank, etc., the outcome is almost doomed.

In addition to the Stockton family, the major shareholders, directors of the board of directors, etc., also have different thoughts, and it is obviously impossible to follow the Stockton family to the end.

……

The Peninsula Hotel, Felix Restaurant and Bar on the 28th floor, and the Roman Court Sky Swimming Pool on the 29th floor, the entire leisure area on the 28th and 29th floors has been reserved by Li Feng as a celebratory reception for the acquisition of Standard Chartered tonight.

After the press conference, reporters and reporters received invitations to the reception, and it was already very lively. Similarly, the heads of major organizations and consortia in Hong Kong have received their own invitations and have begun to depart for the reception at The Peninsula Hotel.

Although Standard Chartered does not have the same influence as HSBC in Hong Kong, Standard Chartered is Standard Chartered after all, and its influence in Hong Kong is absolutely loud, after all, it is one of the three major banknote issuers. Besides, those consortiums and business owners will not give face to international financial institutions like Standard Chartered, and they will come to the scene one after another.

Similarly, at this time, Li Feng also began to walk out of the mansion on Baijiadao, took the security personnel on a group of three Rolls-Royce top luxury cars, and slowly walked towards the peninsula.

Li Feng naturally won't care about the current management and shareholders of Standard Chartered shakes, in addition to the clear acquisition, the next celebration cocktail party and the follow-up reception, merger of Standard Chartered is the top priority, I think the next will be busy.
