Chapter 339: Weights
Under the leadership of Feng Yongxiang, Jiang Ran met Feng Jingxi in the living room of the villa. Feng Jingxi, who updated the fastest, looked thin, but he was in good spirits, and he didn't look like he couldn't be a director as rumored.
"Mr. Jiang, you are welcome to come to my place. After Feng Jingxi saw Jiang Ran come in, a nursing staff helped him up, stood up and said with a smile.
Jiang Ran saw Feng Jingxi standing up to greet him, and hurriedly walked over, stretched out his hand to support the other party, and said, "Mr. Feng, don't be polite, you sit down quickly." ”
"You are a leading figure in our Hong Kong securities industry, and we at Ranfeng Group now have the idea to get involved in this business, and it is my honor to visit you. ”
After Feng Jingxi slowly sat down with Jiang Ran's support, he waved his hand and said with a smile: "Mr. Jiang, you have won the award." What is too strong or not, it's just a joke and a joke from friends. ”
"Unlike Mr. Jiang, you have created such a big career at a young age. Think I'm still an apprentice to someone else at your age. Feng Jingxi shook his head with some sighs, "Hey!
"Mr. Feng has won the award. I was a little luckier, and I was lucky enough to get some gains. Jiang Ran has never been an arrogant person, and after listening to the other party's praise, he immediately said modestly.
Feng Jingxi was obviously very surprised that Jiang Ran could still maintain such a modest attitude after earning a lot of money at a young age, and looked at Jiang Ran appreciatively and nodded.
"Mr. Jiang, I'm not in good health right now, so I can't talk to you more, so let's not be polite and get straight to the point, right?" Feng Jingxi obviously had no intention of being polite, and said to Jiang Ran directly as if asking.
"Okay, Mr. Feng. Jiang Ran nodded, he also hoped to implement the acquisition as soon as possible, since the other party wanted to talk, of course he would not object.
Feng Jingxi saw that Jiang Ran had no opinion, and said directly: "Mr. Jiang, I have already seen the acquisition plan of your Ranfeng Group. As far as I am concerned, we are all from Hong Kong, and I certainly hope that your Ranfeng Group can win in the end. ”
"But, to be honest, your group's acquisition terms are not more advantageous than those of Arab banks, and with such terms, it is obvious that they cannot convince Bailida and Merrill Lynch. ”
"After all, this acquisition by the Arab Bank was first proposed by these two companies, and it is clear that the Arab Bank is far superior to your group in terms of strength and international influence. Therefore, it is clear that Arab banks have an advantage if they cooperate. ”
Feng Jingxi said and glanced at Jiang Ran, whose face was calm, and then spoke again: "On the other hand, for myself, although I plan to sell part of the bank's equity, I can no longer control and manage it. ”
"But, after all, I founded and developed this bank. It's like my own child, although he will be out of my control in the future, but I still hope that he can develop more smoothly. ”
Speaking of this, Feng Jingxi spread out his hands and said to Jiang Ran as if helplessly: "But obviously, Mr. Jiang, you and your group obviously have no experience in running a banking industry. If I hand over the bank to you, I'm very worried about whether you can manage it well. ”
Feng Jingxi's words are very objective, although it seems that the Arab Bank's acquisition of Sun Hung Kai is in trouble because of the intervention of Ranfeng Group, but in fact, this is just a strategy on the part of Sun Hung Kai's shareholders to raise prices.
However, the actual situation is that neither Bailida nor Merrill Lynch has now included Ranfeng Group as the ultimate partner, after all, in the case of not too much difference in conditions, it is more in their interests to cooperate with powerful Arab banks.
As for Feng Jingxi, Jiang Ran believed that since the other party chose to see him today, he must still have ideas about his acquisition, but he just needed more conditions.
Jiang Ran's thoughts were spinning in his heart, but he said, "Mr. Feng, what you said has a certain amount of truth. For companies such as Polarida and Merrill Lynch, whose main business is in Europe and the United States, Arab banks are indeed a very suitable partner to work with. ”
"However, for Mr. Feng, your main business and foundation are in Hong Kong after all, so it is clear that we at Ranfeng Group are a more suitable partner for you. ”
Jiang Ran said this, looked at Feng Jingxi's expression, and then spoke again: "As for whether our group can run Sun Hung Kai Bank well in the future? I think Mr. Feng can rest assured. ”
"Although our group has no experience in running a bank, our group has a huge advantage in terms of cash flow, and I think this advantage will definitely bring great help to the development of the bank in the future. ”
Feng Jingxi was noncommittal to Jiang Ran's words, squinted his eyes slightly and did not open his mouth, until Feng Yongxiang, who had not spoken all the time, suddenly interjected: "Mr. Jiang, I don't know if your Oriental Charm Company has any plans to introduce new shareholders or go public?"
Feng Yongxiang's digression made Jiang Ran stunned for a moment, and then turned his head to see Feng Jingxi also opened his eyes, and suddenly realized in his heart that the other party was playing this idea.
Now the oriental charm has become a very eye-catching clothing brand in Hong Kong, Taiwan, Japan, South Korea and Southeast Asia, although it has not been established for a long time.
However, it already has a mature design concept and system, perfect publicity and production channels, and has established a relatively complete sales network in the above areas.
Not only that, while building its own system, Oriental Charm has an annual profit of hundreds of millions of yuan, which is incomparable to the vast majority of companies in Hong Kong.
It is precisely for this reason that in the past two years, there has been an endless network of people and organizations who want to seek the equity of Oriental Charm and persuade Jiang Ran to make this company go public.
Now, it is obvious that Feng Jingxi and his son also want to take advantage of Jiang Ran's desire to acquire Sun Hung Kai Bank to try to seek the interests of Oriental Charm Company.
After Jiang Ran understood the other party's thoughts, he refused very simply: "I'm sorry, Mr. Feng." At present, the development of Oriental Charm Company is stable, and the company's funds are also very abundant, so I have no plans to introduce new shareholders or go public for the time being. ”
Jiang Ran refused too simply, although the Feng family's father and son were unexpected, they still couldn't help but have a flash of disappointment in their eyes. There have been too many people who have been rejected by Jiang Ran in the past two years, so although Feng Jingxi and his son were disappointed, they did not intend to dwell on this matter anymore.
Because judging from Jiang Ran's attitude, there is basically no possibility of success.
"So how is Mr. Jiang going to persuade us to agree to your acquisition of the bank? Feng Jingxi once again brought the topic to the issue of bank acquisitions.
Jiang Ran lowered his head and thought about the offer of the Arab bank, and finally raised his head and said: "I have two opinions, one is that our group is wholly owned, and I can offer a purchase price of 550 million. Or we will only acquire 70% of the equity according to the plan of the Arab Bank, with a total price of 380 million. ”
Although Jiang Ran's offer was about 20 million higher than that of the Arab Bank, it did not satisfy Feng Jingxi, he shook his head with a smile and said, "Mr. Jiang, a wholly-owned acquisition is definitely impossible, and I have no intention of selling all the shares in my hand for the time being." ”
"Also, your offer is indeed higher than that of the Arab banks, but it is not much higher, and I do not think that such an offer is likely to impress Pelida and Merrill Lynch, and I must take their opinions into account. ”
After Jiang Ran listened to Feng Jingxi's words, he didn't speak immediately, and after thinking about it for a while, he spoke again: "If Mr. Feng can help me convince Bailida and Merrill Lynch." ”
"I can then commit to the fact that after I complete the acquisition, I will try not to change the management of the bank, except for a few management positions, on the premise of safeguarding the interests of me and our group. ”
Jiang Ran's words obviously surprised Feng Jingxi and his son, his eyes lit up unconsciously, obviously he was moved, after all, if they could continue to master the management of the bank, the resources available in it would obviously be very helpful to them.
Jiang Ran saw that although the father and son of the Feng family were moved, they did not immediately agree, and he was not worried, so he directly continued to increase: "In addition, if Mr. Feng can help us complete this acquisition, then I can also promise that if I need Oriental Charm to be listed in the future, under the same conditions, I will give priority to Mr. Feng and your company." ”
