Chapter 911: Acquisition of Standard Chartered
……
After returning home, Lin Ling was too tired after flying for more than ten hours, and she had to go to the jet lag, so she was forced to rest by Liu Dong, otherwise this little girl would insist on accompanying her to deal with work matters!
After settling Lin Ling, Liu Dong, who was sitting in the study, frowned, looking at the magnificent blue sea in the distance, but he didn't have the slightest intention of appreciating it!
Having eaten behind closed doors at Qiu's house twice in a row has made Liu Dong completely disappointed with this acquisition.
"I thought I would be able to get my hands on it, but I didn't get what I wanted?" After shaking his head, Liu Dong picked up his mobile phone and dialed David. Coleman's phone!
"Boss!"
After dialing the phone, Liu Dong was not verbose, and said directly: "Coleman, how many shares of Standard Chartered Bank do we have in our hands now?" ”
"35.38% has been acquired, and now most of the outstanding shares of Standard Chartered Bank in the market have been acquired by us, and the remaining shares are basically in private hands, and it is very difficult to buy again, unless we can offer more than 30% of the market price!" David. Coleman Road.
"I know, money is not a problem, now your most important task is to hurry up and acquire more than 15% of the shares, and get a controlling stake in Standard Chartered Bank as soon as possible!" After thinking about it for a while, Liu Dong made up his mind.
Hesitation and procrastination. It's a waste of time. If only Standard Chartered Bank reacted. If a few white knights like Qiu Deba and Bao Yugang emerge like last time, or if the shares are reallocated, Liu Dong's acquisition plan is estimated to be in vain!
Therefore, it is necessary to win the game in one fell swoop before Standard Chartered has reacted, or has reacted, but has not yet come up with a specific solution!
David. Needless to say, Coleman's execution is needless to say, and after Liu Dong gave the order, he has already led the well-established Dingsheng Fund to be busy again.
Put down the phone. Liu Dong is still a little unsteady in his heart, this time the Qiu family's affairs reminded him, it's not that you think that things that you are 100% sure of will definitely succeed!
So, Liu Dong picked up the phone again and originally wanted to send a message to Steve. Rockefeller called, but after thinking about it, Liu Dong still dialed Sally. Klauchek's mobile phone!
"Liu, don't you know that it is immoral to disturb a lady's sleep in the early hours of the morning? Oh my God, I just fell asleep! ”
Hearing the other party's complaints, Liu Dong reacted at this time, the sun was shining on his side. But with a time difference of 13 hours, it's midnight in New York!
"I'm sorry, Sally. I forgot about the time difference between Hong Kong and New York! I'm really sorry, but next time I come to New York, I'll treat you to dinner, the location is yours to choose! Liu Dong hurriedly said.
"Well, for your sake, forget it this time! But how did you come up with the idea to call me at this time? ”
"I don't have many friends in the banking world, and you are the only one I can think of who can help!" Liu Dongdao.
"Really? What exactly woke you up in the middle of the night? ”
Listening to the trace of resentment that still existed in the other party's words, Liu Dong also knew that this time it was indeed a bit rude, and the woman's anger was not so easy to quell!
However, for the time being, Liu Dong didn't care about anything else, and hurriedly said: "I hope you can help me acquire Moros through Bank of America. Krees, and Stark. Jones has a stake in Standard Chartered Bank! ”
"A stake in Standard Chartered Bank?"
Sally. Clauchek was slightly surprised.
"That's right, the two of them own 8.93% and 9.18% of Standard Chartered shares respectively, and I hope that Bank of America's M&A department can help me acquire those shares! Of course, I'll pay you a pretty penny, but I hope this will be over by the end of the year! ”
Helped Liu Dong acquire shares in Standard Chartered Bank to Sally . Clauchek didn't help because Bank of America had this business in the first place.
"Liu, it's only half a month before the end of December, if you want to complete this acquisition within half a month, you will definitely have to pay a higher price......!" Sally. Kraucek admonished.
"I know, but if I can't buy these shares in half a month, I may lose the opportunity to take control of Standard Chartered Bank!"
Because of a journey of 9.11, the friendship between the two can undoubtedly gain more trust, so Liu Dong did not hide many things in front of Sally Kraczek.
"Well, now that you've decided, I don't want to say anything more! I will try my best to accommodate your request! ”
"Thank you, Sally!"
"You're welcome, but if you dare to ruin my beauty sleep next time in the future, I will definitely not let you go! Smack! ”
Listening to the blind sound from the mobile phone, Liu Dong was stunned for a moment, and then couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly.
"Women are elusive creatures!"
After sighing, Liu Dong gave David again. Coleman made a phone call and told him that he had spoken to Sally Brown when he was buying a stake in Standard Chartered Bank. Klauchek communicated, so as not to let the two go together, and then give the owner of the shares the opportunity to raise the price!
As soon as I finished talking to the two of them, the phone rang again, but as soon as I looked at the caller ID on it, Liu Dong snorted coldly and hung up directly!
He has had enough of the Qiu family's idleness, and he no longer wants to use his hot face to stick to other people's cold butts!
But what Liu Dong didn't expect was that he had just hung up, and the other party actually called again.
After hanging up three times in a row, the other party still refused to give up, and finally he was directly shut down!
No matter what the other party's purpose is, Liu Dong doesn't want to pay attention to it anymore!
……
"Dad, is your phone turned off?" Qiu Chengfeng looked at his father's angry face and said cautiously.
And the children of the Qiu family next to him also held their breath, cautiously afraid of making the old man angry again.
"I'm so mad at you guys! Ahem......! ”
Qiu Depat Tak Puat's violent cough frightened the Qiu family!
"Dad. Don't be angry. I personally went to Hong Kong to invite Mr. Liu back! Qiu Chengfeng hurriedly said.
"Please come back? You've driven people away both times. Do you think people will come back? ”
"It's a big deal, let's spend a little more!" Qiu Fengling whispered beside her.
However, as soon as she finished speaking, she was startled by the old man's angry eyes, and after a while, she didn't dare to continue.
"Spending money? Do you think people are short of money? ”
Regarding some news about Liu Dong, especially the fact that he made more than a billion dollars in Macau, the people of the Qiu family naturally knew that what they said just now was just something they said subconsciously, after all, it was in their hearts. Liu Dong is only a nouveau riche at best, and of course, there is no jealousy that Liu Dong easily earned nearly half of the Qiu family's wealth.
Looking at his children's apparent obedience, but with suspicion, contempt, and jealousy in their eyes, Qiu Teck Puat couldn't help but shake his head.
Maybe it's because of the superior life since childhood that they have been a little less sharpened, although in terms of ability, more than a dozen children are stronger than ordinary people, but they are far from the level of business elites, they can only be regarded as mediocre talents, and the only third son Qiu Chengfeng who was designated as the heir of the Qiu family is only a talent of Shoucheng, and it is difficult for the Qiu family to develop much in his hands!
So. Khoo Teck Puat has always kept the shares of Standard Chartered Bank in his hands so that he can become an empress. In case the Qiu family encounters difficulties, they can exchange these valuable shares for the safety of the Qiu family!
Of course, if his body can recover and live a few more years, it doesn't matter if he sells these shares, because nothing is more important than longevity!
Moreover, if he lives a few more years, he also has the confidence to help the Qiu family lay a more solid foundation!
Thinking clearly, these Qiu Deba stood up tremblingly on crutches, glanced at everyone, and finally fixed on Qiu Chengfeng, "Chengfeng, you go to Hong Kong with me, and we will visit in person!" ”
……
Liu Dong also knew a series of changes that happened to the Qiu family after he left, and in the afternoon after coming to Hong Kong, he was receiving the visiting Zhang Fan!
"Chairman Liu, this is ATV's equity certificate, which has been registered with the tax department!"
After taking the document, Liu Dong took a brief look at it, and said with a little surprise: "So easily acquired ATV as a wholly-owned company?" ”
Compared with the difficult birth of the acquisition of Standard Chartered Bank, the acquisition of ATV is too easy, and it has been completed in just a few days!
"Chairman Liu, now ATV's performance has been declining since it was sold by the Lin family, and it has been losing money for five consecutive years, plus its share of the Hong Kong TV broadcast market is not as good as that of its old rival wireless, so after we came up with a purchase price two percent higher than the market price, basically the people who held the shares were sold!"
Although he was not optimistic about Liu Dong's deal, he still faithfully implemented the boss's decision.
"And what about Cathay Pacific?"
"We have acquired the shares in the hands of the Ma family, but there are not many outstanding shares of Cathay Pacific in the market, the remaining 52.3% of the shares are still in the hands of Swire Group, 12.5% of the shares are in the hands of CITIC Group, and about 10% are in the hands of HSBC, in addition to the 20.6% of the shares in our hands, there are still about 5.4% of the outstanding shares in the market! So, unless we can buy the shares of Cathay Pacific in the hands of Swire Group, we will not be able to achieve a controlling stake at all! Zhang Fan said.
After listening, after thinking for a while, Liu Dong said: "The shares of Cathay Pacific in the hands of HSBC should be easier to acquire, after all, Cathay Pacific is losing money now, as for the circulating shares in the market, if the price is too high, forget it!" The shares of Cathay Pacific in the hands of CITIC Group are directly abandoned! ”
CITIC Group is a state-controlled central enterprise, although Liu Dong has a lot of money, but he is not a person compared to the whole country! The gap is too big!
“…… In addition, the acquisition negotiations with the Swire group should not stop, the current global aviation industry recession has not changed, they do not have many cards! ”
"I see, Chairman!"
Although he does not agree too much with Liu Dong's controlling acquisition of Cathay Pacific, as an employee, he must implement the other party's resolution! (To be continued......)
