Chapter 436 - Acquisition of Amex Company (Part II)

Just two days before Su Chenyu was preparing for the college entrance examination, a piece of news suddenly detonated the global financial community!

"Super banker Jamie Dimon staged the return of the king, Standard Chartered-Mitsui Sumitomo Bank buys Amex!"

The Wall Street Journal broke the news on the front page of this super news that shook the entire world's financial circles, and no one believed it to be true at first, after all, Amex's position in the American financial community is very important. However, some real financial giants, such as Morgan, Rockefeller, Goldman Sachs, etc., know that this must be true, and Standard Chartered-Mitsui Sumitomo Bank has successfully invaded the US financial circle.www.biquge.info

It didn't take long for everyone to talk and speculate, and soon Jamie Dimon confirmed that he had announced to the global financial community that Standard Chartered-Mitsui Sumitomo Bank had reached an agreement with Morgan Stanley, Goldman Sachs, Chase Manhattan and other companies to formally acquire its shares in Amex.

As if to echo Jamie Dimon's words, the SEC also announced that Standard Chartered-Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation held a 62.3% stake in Amex.

At this point, all the onlookers who did not know the truth really believed that what they thought was "impossible" had really become "possible".

Of course, in the face of this super acquisition case, a large part of the "brick family" and "beast" do not think that it is a strong alliance between the two, on the contrary, they have expressed their disoptimism about it. Also, after all, in the face of the suppression of Visa and Mastercard in recent years, the business situation of Amex is really not optimistic. As a result, almost all of the outside world believe that this acquisition will put Standard Chartered-Mitsui Sumitomo Bank in a quagmire and slip from the position of the world's No. 1 bank.

I have to say that these so-called "brick people", "beasts" and "brick industry people" are really salty and don't worry about eating turnips, and they can guess things with their little "brain capacity", so what's the point? Besides, if they are really so awesome, they will be some kind of "brick family" and "beasts", and go directly to Jamie Damon's position.

There is no doubt that the two of them know better than everyone else, yes, the company is indeed struggling now, but what the two see is not the present, but the "unlimited money scene" after integrating into the standard Standard Chartered-Mitsui Bank in the future.

Moreover, after the completion of the acquisition of the transformation plan for Amex, Jamie Dimon began to "sharpen his knife......

Speaking of which, Jamie Dimon and Amex are also old acquaintances - in 1982, after graduating from Harvard Business School, he joined Amex as an assistant to Sandy Weir, and three years later, because Sandy Weir and Gerstner failed in the power struggle, so they were "exiled" together. And now, quite a dramatic scene has happened, after 8 years of struggle, the former "Yuntong abandoned general" staged a scene of "return of the king" with the attitude of "savior".

However, at this time, Yuntong is already a thing or a person, and even the "thing" is a little "wrong". What was once the "lion" of the American financial world has now become a poor "sick cat", and Gerstner, who "banished" him and Sandy Weir, has left Amex to take charge of IBM.

Today, stepping into the headquarters of Amex again, Jamie Dimon did not feel that it was fake, but now is not the time to "feel sad", he has to sharpen his knife and prepare to do it.

"Jamie, welcome back. Harvey Golub smiled and shook Jamie Diamond's hand, led him into the conference room, and said, "The board members and company executives are already waiting inside." ”

Smiling and shaking Harvey Gorub's hand, Jamie Dimon said, "Long time no see, Harvey." Rest assured, my promise will be fulfilled soon. ”

The two looked at each other and smiled, and as soon as they walked into the room, everyone stood up - a new boss had arrived, and a new president was likely to be created soon.

After a simple official process, Jamie Dimon revealed his main goal today - Standard Chartered-Mitsui Sumitomo Bank to formally take over Amex.

Although Mr. Robinson was not present today, he still wanted to thank Mr. Robinson for his great contributions to the development of Amex in recent years. ”

"As for the president and chairman of the company, Mr. Harvey Golub will be the chairman, and I hope that under the leadership of Mr. Gorub, the company will be stronger in the future. ”

In a burst of warm applause, Amex bid farewell to the "Robinson era" and opened a new chapter, officially entering the "Goluble era".

In the face of such an arbitrary decision by Jamie Dimon, why are there no shareholders and directors who oppose it? Hehe, it's very simple, the current major shareholders and directors of Amex are all people from SS Financial Holding from top to bottom, and they still oppose it? No way, so far, Standard Chartered - and Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation, X Fund and SS Financial Holding's small vest funds together hold more than 90% of the shares of Amex - has completely treated the SEC as a monkey.

After the replacement of the "big boss" of Yuntong, at the same time, the adjustment of other executives of Standard Chartered-Mitsui Sumitomo Bank for Yuntong is also being carried out vigorously, and a fierce "killing intent" spreads up and down Yuntong.

A large number of former CEO James Robinson's descendants were "purged" out of Express, and of course some really capable people were left behind - no way, the company has been weakening under James Robinson in recent years, and it is hard not to suspect that this guy and his men are not a bunch of "waste".

Standard Chartered-Mitsui Sumitomo Bank's "decisive and decisive" transformation of the top management of Amex has indeed shocked the entire Wall Street and the American financial community, and many people seem to have seen the reawakening of the former "financial lion".

Just when the Yuntong company was running wildly on the road to rise, some people felt quite bad - after all, the rise of Yuntong was destined to offend the interests of a large number of people. Among them, Visa and MasterCard were the two major organizations that reacted the strongest, and at the critical period when they basically completed the "siege" of Amex in the United States, the uninvited guest of Standard Chartered-Mitsui Sumitomo Bank jumped out. You must know that with the support of Standard Chartered-Mitsui Sumitomo Bank, the Amex card of Amex will instantly break through the "encirclement" of the two major organizations and break out of the world again. There is no way, neither Visa nor Mastercard can give up the standard Standard Chartered-Mitsui Sumitomo Bank, a super large customer, who cannot afford to lose at this level.

In addition to Visa and MasterCard, the other person who is most unhappy is probably him - Sandy Weir, the "big traitor" you think in your heart is now better than you, can you be happy?

Hehe, it doesn't matter if other people are happy or not, anyway, Jamie Dimon and Su Chenyu are very cool now, so that's fine......
