Chapter 448: Striving to Build the World's Largest Private Bank (Part II)
ā¦
For a company that has been in business for many years, if the company making the acquisition wants to annex the target company, it can only be regarded as a win-win situation or a bona fide acquisition if it puts forward conditions that can satisfy the management and majority of the shareholders of the target company. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć Any acquisition without the permission of the management and majority shareholders of the target company, regardless of whether the other party agrees or not, is a hostile takeover, which can also be called a hostile takeover, and the company that makes a hostile takeover is generally called a "black knight".
At that time, the board of directors of Standard Chartered Bank, which would rather pay a heavy price to hire three white knights to escort Standard Chartered Bank, and the Coatston family, which has controlled Standard Chartered Bank for half a century, would not have been willing to be acquired by Xu Cun. In other words, whether Xu Cun wants it or not, he is determined to be this black-clothed knight.
Standard Chartered Bank's Finance Director Tarang's house.
Tarang roared righteously: "You are a hostile takeover, you are all evil black knights, I want to tell Robles about this, you don't want to succeed!" ā
Taran has always been regarded as the right-hand man of Robles, the chairman of the board of directors of Standard Chartered Bank, and he has always been a pawn of Robles to constantly criticize the level of financial control of the management of Standard Chartered led by Bonet - it can be said that on the surface, Tarlang, who knows the most about the financial situation of Standard Chartered Bank, is definitely the closest comrade-in-arms of Robles, chairman of the board of directors of Standard Chartered Bank.
Zheng Haiquan took a sip of coffee and said slowly: "Mr. Talang, if I were you, I would listen to my conditions first and then make a decision." ā
Tarang's eyes moved, and he said, "Okay, I'll see what conditions you can say?" ā
Zheng Haiquan slowly put down the coffee cup and said, "Mr. Xu said that no matter how many shares of Standard Chartered Bank you have, Mr. Talang, he is willing to buy it at three times the market price." ā
As soon as Zheng Haiquan's words came out, Ta Lang subconsciously said: "What! As he spoke, Tarang stood up unconsciously.
Zheng Haiquan repeated in the same tone: "Mr. Xu said that no matter how many shares of Standard Chartered Bank you have, Mr. Talang, he is willing to buy it at three times the market price." ā
Listening to Zheng Haiquan's repeated words, Ta Lang's eyes rolled again and again, and then he said, "Mr. Xu should have additional conditions, right?" ā
Hearing Talang call 'Xu Cun' 'Mr. Xu', Zheng Haiquan knew that Talang had already been tempted -- in fact, this had long been expected by Zheng Haiquan, Marx said: "If capital has 50 percent profits, it will take risks, if it has 100 percent profits, it will dare to trample on all the laws of the world, and if it has 300 percent profits, it will dare to commit any crime, even at the risk of being hanged." How could Tarang resist the temptation of 300 percent profit?
Zheng Haiquan smiled and said, "Mr. Xu wants to ask Mr. Talang to help him buy Standard Chartered Bank." ā
After a long silence, Talant struggled, "Robles has a kindness to me......"
Zheng Haiquan interrupted Ta Lang and said, "Mr. Xu also said that for every equity you help him acquire, he will give you a reward of ten points, and there is no limit to the quantity. ā
As soon as Zheng Haiquan's words came out, Talang's eyes almost didn't pop out - the total market value of Standard Chartered Bank is about 2.7 billion or 800 million pounds, and in the process of Xu Cun's acquisition of Standard Chartered Bank, the stock price of Standard Chartered Bank will definitely increase, assuming that it is inflated to 4 billion British dollars, Talang only needs to help Xu Cun acquire a quarter of the equity of Standard Chartered Bank, and he can get 100 million pounds, which is nearly 2 billion Hong Kong dollars at the current exchange rate. Xu Cun's handwriting is so big, it is really something that Talang never expected!
After gasping for breath for a long time, Talang said with red eyes: "I ask for a contract!" ā
Zheng Haiquan took out a contract that had been prepared a long time ago from his handbag and handed it to Ta Lang, and said, "There is no problem for me to sign this contract with you in my personal name instead of Mr. Xu, right?" ā
Nowadays, Zheng Haiquan, who has repeatedly represented Xu Cun, Mei Aifang, and Baye Bank, is already the undisputed Taipan of Baye Bank, even if he does not acquire Standard Chartered Bank, Zheng Haiquan is also one of the few big names in the banking industry in Xiangjiang, not to mention that Baye Bank has begun to acquire Standard Chartered Bank and is expected to acquire Standard Chartered Bank?
Taking a step back, 100 million pounds is an astronomical amount for Tarang, but it is nothing to Xu Cun, the richest man in China, who cannot give up his left and right hands because of this 100 million pounds, let alone give up the impression of his subordinates because of this 100 million pounds.
Therefore, Talang believes in Zheng Haiquan.
As for why Zheng Haiquan dared to sign this contract in his private name, it was because he had confidence in Xu Cun's personality and Xu Cun's net worth - Zheng Haiquan believed that Xu Cun, who valued love and righteousness and was rich in wealth, would never abandon him, a person who dared to take any risks for Xu Cun!
Therefore, Zheng Haiquan dared to sign a contract with Talang in his private name.
As soon as the contract was signed, Talang said directly: "The London Unemployment and Pension Relief Fund Alliance, the largest shareholder of Standard Chartered Bank, has always been very dissatisfied with the profitability of Standard Chartered Bank in recent years, and has long intended to transfer its 12.9% stake, and by the way, the Standard Chartered Bank, a company with an unsatisfactory rate of return, will be removed from its investment portfolio...... As long as Mr. Xu is willing to spend money, he will definitely be able to take this part of the shares, well...... At least you can get most of them. ā
Zheng Haiquan said with a smile: "The equity held by the Dun Unemployment and Pension Relief Fund Alliance is already Mr. Xu's, plus the shares just acquired from Mr. Talang, Mr. Xu already owns nearly 30% of the equity of Standard Chartered Bank, and there are several gentlemen who are actively helping Mr. Xu acquire the shares of Standard Chartered Bank like Mr. Talang, I believe it will not be long before Mr. Xu can fully control Standard Chartered Bank." As of now, Xu Cun, who is willing to spend money, already owns nearly 40 percent of the shares of Standard Chartered Bank, and the two minority shareholders that Zheng Haiquan has contacted have already intended to sell their shares in Standard Chartered Bank to Xu Cun, and the international acquisition team led by Yuan Tianfan is also quietly absorbing shares of Standard Chartered Bank in the secondary market of the London Stock Exchange. In other words, the time before Xu Cun fully controls Standard Chartered Bank is far shorter than Talang imagined.
Zheng Haiquan said again: "Of course, those gentlemen naturally cannot be compared with Mr. Talang, who knows the most about the financial situation of Standard Chartered Bank, so I believe that most of the ten points paid by Mr. Xu will eventually go into Mr. Talang's pocket!" ā
Hearing Zheng Haiquan say that there are still people competing with him for this piece of fat thrown by Xu Cun, Talang is naturally a little displeased, but just like Zheng Haiquan said - Talang, who knows the most about the financial situation of Standard Chartered Bank, is not afraid of competing with anyone!
Therefore, Talang said with great confidence: "I believe that with my help, the generous Mr. Xu will soon be able to enter Standard Chartered Bank!" ā
ā¦ā¦
Leaving Talang's house, Zheng Haiquan looked at the starry night sky and muttered: "I always thought that building the world's largest private bank as Mr. Xu said was an unattainable dream, but now it seems that my mind can't keep up with Mr. Xu's pace!" ā
