Chapter 1185 Hit it off, reluctant to ask
Speaking of which, Qiu Depua is also Lin Cheng's neighbor, as a knight canonized by the British government, Qiu Depuat has a villa on the top of the Taiping Peak, Lin Cheng's house is only a five-minute drive away from Qiu's house, Lin Cheng goes to Qiu's house, in fact, it is very convenient.
When Lin Cheng's convoy came to Qiu's house, Qiu's family had already opened the middle door, and Qiu Deba, despite his eighties, led many children to greet Lin Cheng in person.
At this point, Lin Cheng finally understood why Khoo Teck Puat asked to meet with him before deciding whether to sell the shares of Standard Chartered Bank, and it was obvious that Khoo Teck Puat saw that his time was running out and wanted to pave the way for his children.
Today's Lin Cheng is the richest man in the world, and in the Chinese world, he has an influence comparable to that of the head of state, as long as Lin Cheng says that he supports Qiu Depu's successor, even if Qiu Depuat dies, it will not cause much turmoil to the Qiu family.
Lin Cheng couldn't help but feel a little proud in his heart, it turned out that he was in the Chinese world, and he had unknowingly been regarded as the head of the wealthy Chinese family.
But this is also a matter of course, after all, Qiu Teck Puat is the richest man pushed out by Li Jiapo, and he has great influence in the circle of Chinese billionaires in Southeast Asia, presumably he has learned that Lin Cheng organized armed forces in Indonesia to shelter the Chinese.
The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility, Lin Cheng was proud in his heart, and at the same time, he was also warning himself that the more he was in a high position, the more he could not tolerate his mistakes, so as not to cause huge losses to himself and others.
With the support of his children, Qiu Depat led Lin Cheng to the living room, and after the two sides sat down, Qiu Depat said with admiration: "Mr. Lin, I am really fortunate to be here, I didn't expect that my Qiu Depua has not had much time, and it is really a blessing to see us Chinese Mr. Lin such a genius in heaven!"
In the face of the praise of the elders, Lin Cheng seemed very modest and said politely: "The times make heroes, the reason why I am here today is mostly due to luck, as well as the good policy of reform and opening up being implemented by the motherland, not because my ability is really so strong." ”
After the two exchanged polite greetings, Qiu Depat sent all his children away, and only Qiu Depat and Lin Cheng were left sitting opposite each other in the living room.
Qiu Teck Puat was born in 1917 and is now in his eighties, so it is naturally impossible for him to have the energy of a young man to start a long negotiation with Lin Cheng.
And he is eighty-four years old, what else can't he see, the only thing he cares about is only his children and grandchildren, so he got straight to the point and said: "Mr. Lin's intention, I already know, it should be for Standard Chartered shares, the Bao family and Robert Houm also trust me a lot, and entrust me with the Standard Chartered shares in their hands."
With the shares of the Bao family and Robert Houm, and now I own 37% of the shares of Standard Chartered Bank, what price does Mr. Lin want to pay to acquire these shares?"
Now the market value of Standard Chartered Bank is about $6 billion, and I am willing to buy 37% of Mr. Qiu's shares at a premium, at a fixed price, $3 billion. Lin Cheng is wealthy, as long as the other party doesn't open his mouth, even if he pays a little more, he doesn't care.
"Mr. Lin is refreshing, I agree to your offer, but before signing the contract, I have a reluctant request, and I hope that Mr. Lin can agree to the old man. Qiu Deba said happily.
For Qiu Depu, as he gets older, the shares of Standard Chartered Bank in his hands have become more and more a hot potato in his hands, after all, the shares of Standard Chartered Bank are too covetous, as long as he acquires 37% of the Standard Chartered shares in the hands of Qiu Depua, Bao Jia and Robert Houme, it will be easy to control Standard Chartered Bank.
In view of this, in recent years, some large international banks in Europe and the United States, such as Barclays Bank in the United Kingdom, HSBC, the **** of the United States, Citigroup, Goldman Sachs, etc., have constantly sent people to lobby Qiu Teck Puli, hoping that he can sell his shares to these large international banks.
In the face of the hardships of these big international banks, Qiu Teck Puat became more and more desperate to cope, so he has been looking for an opportunity to get rid of it all these years, and the Bao family and Robert Houm are no exception, so the three of them decided to advance and retreat together, with Qiu Teck Puat as the leader.
For Lin Cheng to be the receiver of Standard Chartered shares, Qiu Depu, Bao Jia, and Robert Houm are naturally thousands of willing, and they can't ask for it.
However, Qiu Deba has four out of eighty, and he is a thief who is old and not dead, and he saw through at a glance that Lin Cheng was eager to buy Standard Chartered Bank, probably to establish the so-called Lin consortium, so he kept holding on to it, and refused to sell the shares to Liang Botao happily, until Lin Cheng personally sent it to the door and quoted a sky-high price that was difficult to refuse, he agreed.
However, even if he agreed to Lin Cheng's offer, he also made an additional request, which was really a bit of a step forward for Lin Cheng.
Lin Cheng's face was slightly gloomy, and he asked, "What are the conditions?"
As soon as Qiu Deba saw Lin Cheng's black face, he knew that he had misunderstood, and hurriedly clarified: "Don't misunderstand Mr. Lin, it's just that the old man understands that his time is short, and I only hope that after the old man dies, Mr. Lin can look at the old man's face and take care of the Qiu family a little, and the old man will be satisfied." ”
Lin Cheng's face suddenly brightened when he heard this, and he breathed a sigh of relief and said: "I thought that Mr. Qiu would make a big request, but I didn't expect it to be for the sake of his children and grandchildren, Mr. Qiu, don't worry, this is a trivial matter."
If someone takes advantage of Mr. Qiu's absence to bully Mr. Qiu's children and descendants, I, Lin Cheng, will definitely not stand idly by, and will stand up for the Qiu family to uphold justice. ”
"So, thank you, Mr. Lin. Khoo said gratefully.
No wonder Khoo Teck Puat is so solemn, it is really Singapore called Li Jiapo, which shows how strong the Li family's dominance in Singapore is.
As the richest man in Singapore who was pushed out by the Li family, Qiu Teck Puat was naturally able to keep the Qiu family rich and prosperous when he was alive, but once he was gone, would the Li family look at the Qiu family's wealth and be indifferent?
Therefore, for the sake of the future of the Qiu family, Qiu Depuat found a big Buddha like Lin Cheng, the richest man in the world, for the Qiu family, to deter the Li family in Singapore and a group of Xiaoxiao who beat the Qiu family's idea.
With Lin Cheng's status today, his influence in the Chinese world is no weaker than that of the Li family in Singapore, even if the Li family is in charge of the power of a country in Singapore, Lin Cheng wants to protect the Qiu family, and I believe that the Li family will give Lin Cheng three points of face and will not do anything to the Qiu family.
Qiu Deba is old and strong, and for the sake of his children and grandchildren, he really found a very reliable backer.
At the same time, Qiu Depu's approach also made Lin Cheng feel a little melancholy, with his Alexandre Dumas's romantic habits, there will definitely be more descendants of the Lin family than the Qiu family in the future, Qiu Deba found himself as a backer for the Qiu family before the lights went out, if he is old, what can he do for future generations?
Lin Cheng fell into a short period of confusion, but he quickly figured it out, Qiu Deba was looking for a backer for the descendants of the Qiu family, to put it bluntly, because he was not strong enough, if he was strong enough, why should he find any backer? The Lin family itself is a backer!
