$69.45 billion to buy Temasek Tower!
Li Sijie repeatedly and carefully read the contract, and immediately smelled the smell of conspiracy!
Annoyed in his heart, he secretly said: "It turns out that this is all a deliberate conspiracy!"
Their Temasek Holdings has now paid off HK$4 billion in debt, and there is also $450 million in interest on the Standard Chartered Bank, and now there is only US$250 million left, but the Standard Chartered Bank still has to pay them an additional $500 million in interest!
Zhang Xiaolei of Standard Chartered Bank did not hesitate to sacrifice her own future, and it was clear that she was deliberately creating bad negative news about Standard Chartered Bank, so that the stock price of Standard Chartered Bank would plummet, and then find a reason to collect debts from them again!
It's like a person is dead, already in a coffin, and has been stabbed a few times!
Thinking of this, Li Sijie said: "We no longer have the ability to pay you any more funds!"
Looking at Zhang Xiaolei in front of him, Li Sijie was very annoyed, what kind of person is he Li Sijie, when he was on the board of directors of Standard Chartered Bank, he wanted to be windy and rainy, Zhang Xiaolei was just an ordinary executive of Standard Chartered Bank, when did he dare to be so arrogant in front of him!
In the past, he fried Zhang Xiaolei's squid in minutes!
Zhang Xiaolei stared at Li Sijie and said, "Mr. Li, then our Standard Chartered Bank has no choice but to join all the banks to freeze your assets!"
"I will not sell the 25% of the shares you pledged in Standard Chartered Bank to others, and I will sell them directly from the stock market at the market price, and the stock price of Standard Chartered Bank will fall even more miserably!
"Mr. Li, you have to think clearly!"
"You still have $20 billion in assets pledged to major banks, and we can also recover the $1.5 billion from these pledged assets when the time comes!"
··
Li Sijie struggled for a long time, and his back was covered with cold sweat!
He said with a gloomy face: "We only have $250 million in cash now, and the remaining $250 million in debt, which you can get from the subsequent asset auction!"
"Mr. Li, you can pay for the $250 million with Temasek Building!" Zhang Xiaolei smiled: "Our Standard Chartered Bank plans to change a new headquarters building in Southeast Asia!"
Temasek Tower is a world-famous circular building, built in 1986, 235 meters high, a total of 52 floors, just completed as the Ministry of Finance office building, Singapore's 'Consul' Lee XX once worked in the building.
In April 2007, the building was sold to Temasek Holdings Oil-to-Gas Projects Limited and renamed Temasek Building, which has since been used as the headquarters of Temasek Holdings.
The chairman had told her to see if she could take down Temasek Tower!
Li Sijie sneered: "Ms. Zhang, don't you think it's funny?"
"$250 million and want to buy Temasek Towers?"
"That's about $700 million!"
This Temasek building is the only asset of their Temasek Holding company that has not been pledged!
If Temasek could sell for a reasonable price, he wouldn't mind selling it, and Temasek would have gone bankrupt and liquidated anyway.
Standard Chartered Bank is the first to come to collect debts, and it will not be the last!
Zhang Xiaolei immediately said: "Mr. Li, 400 million US dollars!"
Li Sijie immediately said: "600 million US dollars!"
Zhang Xiaolei said: "500 million US dollars, this is the highest price!" She looked at Li Sijie and wanted to make a counteroffer, and immediately threatened: "If Mr. Li thinks it is unreasonable, then I have no choice but to take your 25% stake in Standard Chartered Bank to sell it in the market!"
Li Sijie's face was angry, and he slapped the table and said, "You are threatening me!"
"Temasek Tower can sell it to other banks for at least $700 million!"
"You're too much of a bully, aren't you?"
Zhang Xiaolei's face was calm, and she said sarcastically: "Li Sijie, please see your current situation clearly!"
"Do you think you are still the representative of the major shareholders of Standard Chartered Bank?"
"You think it's the Standard Chartered shareholders' meeting?"
"You try to slap the table in front of me again!"
Saying that, Zhang Xiaolei immediately threw out a contract and said, "Take a look for yourself and give you twenty minutes to think about it!"
"Is it to sell to us Standard Chartered Bank, or to another bank!"
"I'll give you $500 million, which is already very high!"
"I'm giving you a gift!"
"You want to sell it to another bank?"
"You can't get $400 million!"
···
Li Sijie was silent for a long time, and pleaded bitterly: "How about 550 million US dollars?", saying that he looked pitiful, looking at Zhang Xiaolei with pleading eyes!
Zhang Xiaolei flashed a flash of joy, in fact, according to the original agreement between her and the chairman, Temasek Building could be sold at a price of 600 million US dollars, but she didn't expect that the price would be 500 million US dollars, after thinking about it, she calmed down and immediately said: "500 million US dollars!"
·· Li Sijie's whole body is now like a leaky ball, and he feels unprecedented humiliation! This time, the headquarters of Temasek Holdings cannot be saved! It was sold to Standard Chartered Bank at such a low price!
He took a few deep breaths and signed the contract!
Temasek Tower was sold to Standard Chartered Bank for US$500 million and renamed Standard Chartered Tower!
It has become the most luxurious branch of Standard Chartered Bank in Asia!
In the future, it will also serve as the Asian headquarters of Standard Chartered Bank!
Much more luxurious than at Standard Chartered's headquarters in London!
At the same time, Standard Chartered Bank also sold 25% of the shares held by Temasek Holdings, but the seller was not disclosed.
In this way, Temasek Holdings and Standard Chartered Bank have completely severed their debts!
··
After all this was done, Zhang Xiaolei immediately happily dialed the chairman's phone number, and it took 20 minutes to get through!
"Chairman, you're finally willing to answer the phone!"
On the phone, Chen Hui said in a daze: "Hey, Miss Zhang, what's the good news?"
Zhang Xiaolei said excitedly: "Chairman, Temasek Building is in hand, and it only cost 500 million US dollars!"
"Awesome!, my Miss Zhang!" Chen Hui crawled out of the quilt.
I didn't expect it to be done!
Temasek House became Standard Chartered in the blink of an eye!
Zhang Xiaolei said with a smile: "It's still the chairman who expects things like a god!"
"I'm just an errand runner!"
