Chapter 403: The Red-Chip Godfather Liang Botao

At 10 o'clock in the morning of the next day, Lin Cheng led the lawyers of the legal department of Lin's Holding Group to the headquarters of Xiangjiang City Bank and formally signed the share transfer contract with Bai Zhiqin and Bai Zhisheng. Fastest updates

City Bank is a family business, the equity is highly concentrated, inherited Bai Zhenbang's full net worth Bai Zhiqin, Bai Zhisheng brothers and several family direct juniors have signed the contract, when Lin Cheng also signed the contract, Xiangjiang City Bank finally changed its surname to Lin.

Sitting on the sofa in the office of the president of the city bank headquarters, Lin Cheng turned around proudly and said with emotion: "I didn't expect that I, Lin Cheng, would have a commercial bank today. ”

Chen Huiyi frowned and said: "The bank was acquired by you, but you have also seen that since Bai Zhisheng handed in his resignation, there have been eighteen people in the bank headquarters who have resigned, are you ready to manage this bank?"

Lin Cheng's face darkened for a moment when he heard this, and he said hatefully: "Damn, isn't our Lin family worse than the Bai family?

"We don't care how they die, have you figured out who will be the president now?" Seeing Lin Cheng looking at him, Chen Huiyi hurriedly shook her head and said: "Don't count on me, I'm only good at financial trading, and I still manage the Lin Holding Group, so I'm really distracted." ”

Lin Cheng scratched his head, for the famous banker in the future, Lin Cheng, who only knows how to play online games and watch Ivy, really doesn't know anything, and he is distressed now.

However, when he saw Chen Huiyi's calm and calm appearance, he had an idea and said, "Could it be that you have a suitable candidate?"

Chen Huiyi nodded and said: "There is indeed a candidate, if you often pay attention to Hong Kong's financial news, you should know who it is?"

Chen Huiyi thought that Lin Cheng, as the largest private entrepreneur in the mainland, would often watch financial news, but Chen Huiyi looked too highly of Lin Cheng, and Lin Cheng didn't even bother to watch "News Network", where is there this international time to pay attention to Xiangjiang financial news.

I saw him confused and said: "Who, don't sell it, I've never read the financial news of Xiangjiang." ”

Chen Huiyi almost fell back in anger, Lin Cheng is really too unlearned, how could such a person become a billionaire, God must be blind!

She had no choice but to uncover the mystery, "Liang Botao, you should have heard of it, right? The father of the famous red chips, the royal banker of Li Chaoren!"

Liang Botao, the father of red chips, and the royal banker of Li Chaoren?

Of course this person Lin Cheng knows, after all, he works as a keyboard warrior on the Internet, and the massive amount of information he has come into contact with is not something that people in this era can imagine.

Liang Botao, the father of red chips and the royal banker of Li Chaoren, has two halos, and in the first ten years of Xiangjiang, Liang Botao is a legend in the financial industry.

In 1980, after returning to Hong Kong from Canada to obtain a master's degree in business administration, Leung initially worked in the corporate finance department of Victory Bank, a subsidiary of HSBC, and then transferred to the U.S.-funded Citibank to engage in investment banking business.

Liang Botao and Li Chaoren have known each other for 30 years, and have helped Li Chaoren's companies to spin off and raise funds many times, so Liang Botao has always been regarded as Li Chaoren's royal banker, and the closeness of the relationship between the two can be seen.

In 1988, at the age of 33, with the support of Li Chaoren and a group of other wealthy people, Liang Botao personally went to the sea to start a business, and founded Peregrine Investment Company with his business partner Deweylen. From junior analyst to investment bank boss, it took him only 8 years.

After Liang founded Peregrine, which later became the largest investment bank in Hong Kong, in the two red-chip booms from 1993 to early 1994 and from early 1996 to October 1997, Peregrine respectively launched the concept of buying a shell, the concept of spin-off, the concept of China and the concept of capital injection, and the concept of provincial and municipal windows.

While sending Peregrine to the pinnacle of his career, he also turned Liang Botao into a famous "red-chip godfather". Its classic battles include: in July 1993, it successfully operated Tsingtao Beer, making it the first H-share registered in the mainland and listed overseas on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange;

At the end of 1995, Peregrine selected several subsidiaries of Modu Industrial in Heung Kong to set up a holding company, and in May 1996, Modu Industrial went public to drive a boom in other red chips.

In 1997, when Jingcheng Holdings was listed, it was oversubscribed by 1,200 times, pushing the boom to the peak.

However, it was at this time that Liang experienced the longest trough in his life, in July 1997, when the Asian financial crisis swept through Southeast Asia and Hong Kong, Peregrine's investment in Indonesian bonds depreciated sharply, and the rapid changes in the market and mismanagement pushed Peregrine to the brink of bankruptcy.

In order to solve the shortage of funds, Liang Botao planned to issue preferred shares and introduce Zurich Group as a strategic shareholder, but with the further spread of the Asian financial crisis, Zurich Group released his pigeon and canceled the promised subscription plan, and Peregrine, the former boss of the investment banking industry in Hong Kong, fell to the ground.

Under the double blow of foreign exchange risk and stock market decline, Peregrine declared bankruptcy at 5 p.m. on January 12, 1998.

Thinking of the glorious history of this financial tycoon, Lin Cheng, who has always been the eldest of the heavens and his second son, also became unconfident, "Liang Botao?

Chen Huiyi said with a smile: "If you went to recruit Liang Botao before last year's financial turmoil, he would definitely spray your face with saliva, but now that he has completely hit the street, what is left of him except for his brilliant resume?"

Lin Cheng was still a little incredulous, he remembered that Liang Botao did hit the street for a long time after the financial crisis, but later he turned into an angel investor, and he also invested in JD.com, and was born in the mainland, and once again became the godfather of the financial industry.

Chen Huiyi continued: "It is indeed difficult to recruit a powerful person like Liang Botao, but now is the most difficult time for him, if we can send charcoal in the snow at this time and give him enough sincerity, I think it is still possible." ”

Lin Cheng suddenly became short of breath when he heard this, if he could really recruit Liang Botao to the Lin family, then he would really have picked up a treasure, although he now has Duan Yongping and Xia Haijun, two cattle who achieved fame in their previous lives, but compared to Liang Botao, it is still far from enough!
