John saw John, tears in his eyes, well, in fact, there were no tears, after all, they were two old men, but it was the two of them who greeted him almost exactly at the same time, which caused a burst of laughter.

"John Rupert, nice to meet you!"

"St. John Lee, again, nice to meet you!"

"Haha... Well, it's not a problem to stand here, let's go to the living room and sit and talk. ”

"Whatever the guest wants, please...!"

"Please...!"

“…”

Li Feng took John Rupert and Wang Siqing and others back to the living room again, and just entertained Zhuang Sibei and Bravo, this time again entertaining the Rupert family, the chairman of Richemont, and the controller of the luxury empire.

"Rupert, I didn't expect you to have someone send a visit post before, but I was flattered!" After everyone introduced each other, especially after introducing Standard Chartered's Wu Jianmin, Mervyn Davis and John Rupert, the South African bigwig, to each other and greeting each other, Li Feng said directly.

"John, you're polite, no matter what, I still want to congratulate you on acquiring Standard Chartered, I don't know how many people want Standard Chartered, but it didn't work, but only John, you are successful, what a hero out of a teenager!"

"Hehe... Rupert, I appreciated your compliments at the time!"

"Okay, I'm here on behalf of me this time, and I hope it won't disturb John, your Yaxing. ”

"Please...!"

……

Under Li Feng's 'please speak' gesture, John Rupert suddenly smiled and continued: "Didn't you announce that you wanted to cooperate with Standard Bank again, you should contact Standard Bank, right?"

"Mr. Rupert, yes, we have made a direct offer to Standard Bank before, but unfortunately, there has only been one reply so far, and that is that the board of directors is considering it. Wu Jianmin interjected with a smile.

"Dominic, huh?"

"Yes, Mr. Rupert, hello!"

"I think you should also know who I am, in addition to running the family business and the Richemont Group, I am also a non-executive director of Standard Bank, of course, in name, since you mentioned that you want to merge with Standard Bank, there has been a discussion and even debate within the bank.

There is no agreement on the merger between the resumption and Standard Chartered, although there was a basis for cooperation at the beginning, but after all, the stakes are very high, and many people have entrusted me to inquire about your general thoughts, maybe the two sides can reach a consensus, isn't it?" Rupert replied with a smile.

Hearing John Rupert's words, Li Feng was actually very happy in his heart, from Rupert's words, it is obvious that Standard Bank is divided into two or even three factions, such as for, neutral, and against, as for Rupert said, there is no agreement, Li Feng understands very well, after all, this involves all kinds of benefit distribution issues. However, in a sense, it also shows that Standard Bank does not exclude mergers and acquisitions.

"Rupert, we're offering $4 billion, and I think you should know very well what we're thinking, and it's best to buy it outright. Li Feng replied with a smile.

"John, I think you should understand that a direct takeover is not possible, even the last time Standard Chartered merged with Standard, it was formed after Standard Chartered acquired about 40% of the shares. John Rupert replied with a smile.

……

After listening to Rupert's words, Li Feng was determined that people hoped that it would be the same as the original merger, that Standard Chartered would first acquire a part of the shares and become the major shareholder, and then merge, then in the new bank, the original shareholders of Standard Bank would also become one of the shareholders, which would naturally be the best for them.

"Do you mean that the merger is still in the form of cash and shares?" Li Feng came to his senses and asked with a smile again.

"I think it's the best option for all sides. ”

"I agree in principle, but I have one condition, I need 51% of the shares. ”

"Can't give in?"

"I thought, Rupert, you can take my words back first, I think after the merger, with East West Bank, then our entire banking group will be a super bank with a global span. Li Feng replied after drawing a flatbread for others.

In fact, Li Feng and a group of financial experts such as Wu Jianmin have had an in-depth discussion about the issue of Standard Bank, for Standard Bank and those behind-the-scenes shareholders, although Standard Bank is the first bank in Africa, the African continent is obviously not the mainstream of the world.

Most of the behind-the-scenes tyrant families in Africa are actually from Europe and the United States, and they all hope that they can return to Europe, America, etc., but unfortunately, the markets and economies in Europe, North America and other places have long been divided, and the difficulties they want to insert can be imagined.

……

If there is no bank in the modern world, whether it is a small city bank or a large global financial giant, the economic influence on the local and even global economy is enormous.

If you can go through the bank, it is easy to get involved in the economic development of various places, if it is a world-class bank, it is naturally more perfect, obviously, Standard Chartered is very qualified.

First, it is famous enough, and secondly, it is not that kind of super bank, if it is really a super bank, it will be really acquired if it is acquired, and they have nothing to do. Third, the Standard Chartered business is mainly in the fast-rising Asia-Pacific and other places, which are much less difficult to get involved than the traditional European and American places, and can be used as a springboard to do things in the future.

African tycoons obviously want to become shareholders of banks, even if they can't become the largest shareholders, but their intangible influence is huge.

This is also one of the reasons why Standard Chartered Bank at that time and later Huaxia Industrial and Commercial Bank were easy to acquire and even control Standard Bank.

Obviously, the later rise of Huaxia has also become one of the mainstream worlds at that time, and the alliance between Standard Bank and Huaxia Bank has obviously given those local tyrants who are aggrieved on the African continent an entrance to return to the mainstream world.

Today's Standard Chartered has once again reiterated its intention to acquire Standard Bank, which is acceptable for them, and naturally, there must be conditions in it, which needs to be discussed slowly.

......

"If the merger is successful, in my vision, there will be four major groups to control the world, the first is the Standard Chartered (Americas) branch banking group of Century Standard Bank, which is formed by the merger of the original business of Standard Chartered in the Americas by Huamei Group, and is ready to be listed in New York in the future.

The second is the bank in the Asia-Pacific region and even the Huaxia Branch, which will be listed in Xiangjiang in the future.

The third is that the current Standard Chartered Group is out of the Asia-Pacific region of the Americas, with London as the center, focusing on the development of the Middle East and Europe.

The fourth part is to integrate the current Standard Chartered Africa business to form the African region, which is listed in today's Johannesburg, and the headquarters is in charge of the four major branch banking groups in the name of the holding financial group, so that the ability to resist risks can be strengthened, after all, the East is not bright and the West is bright. ”

Li Feng explained his vision of the banking group to Rupert, which immediately caused a shock in Rupert's heart, obviously, Li Feng's super idea amazed him, and admired Li Feng's ambition.

Under the premise of the overall peace of the world today, if Li Feng can really complete the layout in his heart, then the future Standard Chartered may be one of the world's top 10 super banks.

At that time, to control a super bank like this, or to become a shareholder or director of such a bank, it will definitely be a superpower in the whole world.

In fact, this is a real win-win for both Li Feng and the African billionaires represented by Standard Bank.

......

Li Feng was able to complete the overall layout of finance and banking, and the rich people in Africa had an entrance to return to mainstream society, which is really perfect.
