Chapter 300 Investment Banking

"We still have a saying in Huaxia, saying that a penny is difficult to defeat a hero!" Qin Luo said with a wry smile.

"What if I could solve the problem of funding?" asked Shirley, noncommittal.

"Are you planning to lend me money?" Qin Luo suddenly became interested.

"To be precise, it should be the Rothschild consortium that can lend you. You know we're in the bank, haven't you ever borrowed money from the bank, and if you promise to work with me, I can get the bank to give you a huge interest-free loan!" added Shirley.

"You just believe me like that?" Qin Luo was silent on the surface, but he was actually moved.

He seems to have money now, but he also lacks money. And he doesn't have much money at hand, if there is really a bank that puts a huge interest-free loan to him, he will naturally not refuse!

"I don't have a choice now!" Shirley took a deep breath and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

This time in Huaxia is her last chance. If she fails, her fate is already predictable. She couldn't accept such an outcome, so she had to gamble once. And the existence of the entire Huaxia that can make her give it a go, except for Qin Luo, there is no second more suitable candidate!

"Do you think I'll agree?" Qin Luo asked with a smile.

"Would you refuse?" said Shirley, laughing.

"Of course not. You know I'm short of money right now, too! That being the case, I'm interested in your plan. Can you tell me about it?" Qin Luo laughed, and then asked curiously.

"Have you heard of Standard Chartered?" asked Shirley suddenly.

"Are you talking about the bank that issued Hong Kong dollars?" Qin Luo asked with an eyebrow.

"That's right. If you want to accumulate capital quickly in a short period of time, the banking industry is the way to go. With the money, we can also invest in the oil or gas industry!" Shirley nodded.

"What does this have to do with Standard Chartered Bank? Don't tell me you're planning to buy Standard Chartered Bank!As far as I know, the headquarters of this bank is in England, right?" Qin Luo stared at Shirley in some surprise, only to realize that this woman's appetite was not ordinary.

"Why not, don't you think it's a wonderful thing to be able to control a world bank?" said Shirley, but a confident smile appeared.

"You already have a plan?" Qin Luo was shocked in his heart, but asked quietly.

"In China, the most suitable place for us to accumulate capital, apart from the magic capital, is only Hong Kong. In contrast, Hong Kong is more suitable as our first target! As long as we control Standard Chartered Bank, we will be able to control Hong Kong's economy to a certain extent. Shirley reminded.

"You seem to have studied Huaxia very thoroughly!" Qin Luo nodded approvingly.

"I looked into the shareholding structure of Standard Chartered, which has a board of 16 members. Among them, 6 members have a combined stake of 75%. In other words, as long as we want to get an absolute controlling stake in Standard Chartered Bank, we must get the shares of at least 4 of these 6 people!" Shirley explained lightly.

"I think you should start acting, right?" Qin Luo asked with a smile.

"That's right. I've been in contact with five of these shareholders and have been able to convince three of them to transfer their shares to me!" said Shirley, with a proud face.

"The other two didn't agree?" Qin Luo asked with an eyebrow.

"The other two, joined the camp of two of my brothers!" Shirley sighed helplessly.

"In other words, the only hope now is on the last shareholder!" Qin Luo nodded.

"That's right. Even if all the shares of those three shareholders were transferred to me, they would only account for 35 percent. The last shareholder, whom I haven't been in contact with, is also the largest shareholder of Standard Chartered Bank. He alone owns 25 percent of Standard Chartered Bank's shares. In other words, as long as I can convince him, I will be able to get 60% of the shares of Standard Chartered Bank, and I will be able to have absolute controlling rights!" Shirley nodded and explained.

"Twenty-five percent! So you're just one step away from success. In fact, with your ability, as long as you get the last step done, you can still succeed. Why do you have to choose to cooperate with me?" Qin Luo asked with some confusion.

"Because this last shareholder is a Chinese living in South Asia and Malays. His name is Yang Zhongguo. Shirley explained.

"Yang Zhongguo? Are you talking about Yang Zhongguo, the richest Malay Chinese and one of the top three super-rich people in the country? He seems to be the Datuk of Malay! Just because he is Chinese, do you think I will be able to convince him?" Qin Luo asked with some surprise.

"At least I don't have the ability to get him to transfer the shares to me!" Shirley sighed helplessly.

"You know he used to deal with my father, and even now his company has a joint project with Nanshan Group. So you think I'm the most suitable person?" Qin Luo thought about it, maybe this was the only reason.

"That's just one aspect. More importantly, Yang Zhongguo does not have a good impression of Western capital. Several of my brothers also looked for him, but they didn't even see him, and they were all turned away. So I simply chose to give up. Shirley explained helplessly.

"Do you know how much the twenty-five percent of the shares in his hand are worth?" Qin Luo asked with an eyebrow.

"Eight-six-billion-dollar dollars!" Shirley bluntly quoted a number.

Hearing this number in Qin Luo's ears, it immediately made him feel very painful! This is more than 80 billion US dollars, not Huaxia coins!

"You know that my current assets are not even 10 billion dollars. Even if I sell all the companies, it won't be enough!" Qin Luo couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"I came to Huaxia this time to serve as the president of Huaxia District, and I can always get some permissions. I can ask the Rothschild Bank branch in Hong Kong to provide you with an interest-free loan of up to $100 billion!" Shirley said directly.

"100 billion US dollars! What a big deal! Aren't you afraid that you won't be able to recover this money?" Qin Luo couldn't help but be a little shocked when he heard this. I didn't expect this woman to have such great courage under the ruin!

"No, because you are Qin Nanshan's son. As for Rothier's side, I can handle it. I just need you to give me a clear reply now!" Shirley shook her head disapprovingly, as if a hundred billion dollars was not worth mentioning in her eyes.

"Ding! The system side quest is opened, and the task content: investment banking industry, take the first step to the financial field. Within three months of the mission time, the mission will reward the host prophet prop. At this time, a system prompt suddenly sounded in Qin Luo's mind.

"Then I wish us a happy cooperation!" Qin Luo's eyes lit up, and the red wine glass in his hand touched Shirley's goblet, and then drank it all.
