Standard Chartered Bank is undoubtedly an important part of the preparation for the establishment of the Lin consortium!

At present, both the Lin Group and the Lin Holding Group are capable of being called huge enterprises, but what about the huge banks? Lin Cheng believes that the Lin Bank, which is based on the Xiangjiang Commercial Bank, is still not enough.

Since Lin's Bank is not qualified, Lin Cheng's eyes can only be placed on the three major banks in Xiangjiang, which are much stronger than Lin's Bank.

HSBC can be ranked in the top 10 in the world, and its strength is not necessarily much worse than Lin Cheng, Lin Cheng wants to acquire HSBC, the difficulty is comparable to ascending to the sky, do not consider.

The Bank of China starts with Chinese characters, a veritable large central enterprise, and Lin Cheng wants to buy the Bank of China, unless Lin Cheng rebels.

Excluding HSBC and Bank of China, Xiangjiang can be called a huge bank only Standard Chartered, compared with HSBC, Standard Chartered Bank is about seventy or eighty in the World Bank rankings, both in terms of scale and assets are several times worse than HSBC, Lin Cheng's acquisition of Standard Chartered Bank, the difficulty is naturally several times lower than the acquisition of HSBC.

Lin Cheng said to Liang Botao: "Lao Liang, you are the best at acquiring you, this matter will be left to you, after the meeting, from now on, you will set up a team to acquire Standard Chartered Bank, as long as the acquisition is successful, no matter how much money you spend!"

Liang Botao said confidently: "The market value of Standard Chartered Bank can reach 200 billion Hong Kong dollars, about 25 billion US dollars, as long as Lin Sheng you have a little more premium, you can win Standard Chartered within 30 billion US dollars."

Moreover, since the Asian financial crisis was hit hard, Standard Chartered has not returned to its former prosperity, British shareholders have long planned to sell shares, as for Standard Chartered's largest individual shareholder Bao Jia, as long as the money can be enough, the acquisition is not a problem. ”

Lin Cheng nodded and smiled: "Very good! The acquisition of Standard Chartered should be done quickly, don't be afraid to spend more money, as long as Standard Chartered is acquired, this benefit alone can make the stock price of Standard Chartered rise sharply, and make up for the acquisition cost to the greatest extent."

Moreover, Standard Chartered has banking business all over the world, and it will be very convenient for our Lin's enterprises to register abroad or transfer funds in the future. ”

The problem of the huge bank has been temporarily solved, and the problem of the establishment of the Lin consortium has undoubtedly been solved by most of it, and the preparatory work for the establishment of the Lin consortium can also be carried out in a big way.

However, Lin Furong said worriedly: "Cheng Zai, will you establish a consortium to commit a domestic taboo, after all, the biggest characteristic of a consortium is monopoly, the state can allow state-owned enterprises to monopolize an industry, and even foreign monopoly countries will not have much opinion, but if our Lin family establishes a monopoly consortium, the country may not agree!"

I have to say that Lin Furong, who is conservative by nature, still pointed out a huge concern that Lin Cheng wants to establish a consortium, that is, the problem of whether the consortium model has a living soil in the mainland.

Especially the Lin family is still a private enterprise, private enterprises in the country has always been grandma does not love uncle, the status is the most embarrassing, if the state prohibits Lin Cheng from establishing a consortium, then Lin Cheng's enthusiasm can only be in vain.

At this time, Liu Zhiping, who had been accompanying the last seat, raised his hand to speak, and he said: "If the law does not prohibit it, it can be done, if the consortium has not been established, we will ask the central government with great fanfare, and the central government will most likely not allow it."

But if we have already established the Lin Consortium, as long as we keep it secret, never admit the existence of the Lin Consortium in public, and pay taxes to the state in accordance with the law, the state should not say anything, right?"

Liang Botao suggested: "There is no soil for the survival of the consortium in the mainland, but there is one in Xiangjiang, I think we have all fallen into a misunderstanding, the Lin consortium we established may not necessarily be headquartered in the mainland, and it will not be able to solve the problem if it is located in Xiangjiang!"

You must know that in fact, the Li Chaoren family, the Guo family, the Zheng Yutong family, and the Li Zhaoji family already have the prototype of a consortium, and the industries of these major families can be called small consortiums, and the state has always been supportive of the small consortium in Xiangjiang. ”

Although Lin Cheng had a very bad impression of Xiangjiang because of the chaos in the later generations of Xiangjiang, he also had to admit that if the Lin family wanted to establish a consortium, it would be the best choice to establish the headquarters of the consortium in Xiangjiang.

The power of administrative intervention in the mainland is too strong, even if you pay taxes and abide by the law and operate in accordance with the law, once the boss decides to deal with you, it can really kill you in minutes.

If Lin Cheng builds the Lin consortium in the mainland, the risk is too great, and if one is not good, the whole army will be wiped out, and all the efforts since his rebirth will be lost.

For example, CITIC, China Resources, China Merchants, and Poly are the four major consortia in the mainland.

It's just that these four major consortia have official backgrounds, and if the Lin family wants to establish a consortium in the mainland, it will undoubtedly attract the hostility of these four major consortia, and when they use the power behind the scenes, the Lin family will be crushed to death by them in minutes.

Lin Cheng was afraid of death and did not dare to establish the Lin consortium in the mainland, and another major reason was the experience of the Delong system, which was once known as the first fierce village in the capital market and was once involved in all financial industries.

As the pioneer of China's industry-finance mixed industry, Delong shocked the entire Chinese financial circle with its amazing moves in capital operation and industrial integration, and led many Chinese enterprises to imitate it.

Relying on the power of capital, occupying the mainstream industry and gaining a controlling position, the Delong system cannot get rid of the road of expansion. It's just that on this road, the Delong system broke the capital chain in 2004, and the East Window incident occurred, and it was instantly counterattacked.

On January 19, 2006, the trial of Delong's main case kicked off, and the three defendants, Delong Company and 7 natural persons, involved more than 2,500 institutions and more than 32,000 people across the country.

The prosecution's accusations against Tang Wanxin, the leader of the Delong system, are as high as more than 50 billion. Tang Wanxin's trial mainly involved two charges: one was suspected of illegally absorbing public deposits, and the other was illegal stock price manipulation.

The failure of the Delong system undoubtedly proves that the private consortium is struggling in China, and the slightest mistake will fall into a place of no return.

Is it possible for private enterprises to break the monopoly of state-owned enterprises and get out of their own consortium model? Everything is possible! The consortium-like enterprises that are most likely to break out of China's new consortium model and begin to take shape in the future are Ma Yun's Taobao, Alipay, and Alibaba Group.

Ma Yun is very smart, he first made Alipay and Yue Bao to pry open a door in the domestic banking industry, and then Penguin's WeChat payment made this door more open.

As a result, China did not take measures against Ma Yun and Ma Hua Teng, but forced domestic banks to deepen cooperation with Ma Yun and Ma Hua Teng, and gradually replaced cash payment by mobile phone payment. In later generations, a mobile phone can go all over the world.

Thinking of this, Lin Cheng immediately made a decision: "I decided that the headquarters of the Lin consortium is located in Xiangjiang, and the mainland Lin Group can temporarily not integrate into the Lin consortium, until next year when the capital becomes the major shareholder of Pengcheng Development Bank, we will quietly integrate part of the Lin Group's industries into the Lin consortium." Of course, in order not to attract the attention of the state, we must quietly enter the village in this matter, and do not shoot anyone!"
