Chapter 825: Acquisition of Standard Chartered Bank

However, when this sentence was spoken, Bode's expression changed a few times.

Even, for a long time, Bode was silent.

At this moment, Chen Jiayi couldn't guess what kind of mood Bode was in.

Is it anger, or surprise, or even disbelief......

Of course, perhaps, this is all there.

In exchange, if others say this to him, Chen Jiayi doesn't know what kind of expression he will have.

"Tell me what you want, why do you do it?"

Bode is worthy of being the CEO of Standard Chartered Bank, even if Chen Jiayi said that the outside news was done by himself, the current Bode still overcame his emotions and calmly asked Chen Jiayi.

"That's a great question, and I'm about to tell you."

It seems that this Bode still has some abilities.

If it were someone else, I'm afraid I'd be embarrassed and angry by now.

"Actually, I'm helping Standard Chartered Bank."

"Help us?"

Bode was surprised.

This Chen Jiayi is still not a person, and after using the media to slander Standard Chartered, he actually said that he would help them.

"Yes, to help you."

"Okay, tell me your reasoning."

"OK, it's easy."

The current situation of Standard Chartered Bank, Chen Jiayi has already figured it out. Now this media revelation is just a meeting gift from Chen Jiayi. Of course, this looks a bit like a robber. However, this is often the case in business competition. Besides, Chen Jiayi does not have the slightest affection for enterprises other than domestic enterprises.

"Think about it, now that Standard Chartered Bank is seriously underfunded, how can it maintain a huge Standard Chartered Bank? It's better to close some other branches as soon as possible, so as to save ...... of continuing to lose money."

Standard Chartered Bank is a multinational commercial bank, with the exception of Hong Kong's dominance. There are many sub-branches in Asia and Africa. Originally. There are so many branches. When the economy is doing well, it is natural to be able to provide them with a steady stream of profits. However, when the economy is not good, then. The world's largest branches, even if it's an expense. It can also make Standard Chartered Bank lose money.

Not to mention, Standard Chartered is now in the midst of a serious underdeposit and credit crisis.

"Sounds good. You slander us. Do we also want to thank you for not being able to? ”

Bode sneered.

I've seen shameless, but I've never seen such shameless.

It's really hard for Bode to believe that a guy in his twenties is so thick-skinned.

Damn, I obviously want to engage in Standard Chartered Bank, but the righteousness of what I said is awe-inspiring. What else to say to help him.

"Don't dare, don't dare. I'm just helping people. ”

Chen Jia smiled and said, not at all concerned about Bode's sneer.

It's just that at this time, Bode's words debunked Chen Jiayi's strategy.

"I think, your Tang Dynasty Group wants to beat the idea of our Standard Chartered branch."

Although this sentence is speculation, the language is affirmative.

It's just that if you guess it, you can guess that Chen Jiayi can come in person, and he is really not afraid of others guessing.

Yes, as soon as Chen Jia came to the headquarters of Standard Chartered Bank, he wanted a branch of Standard Chartered Bank.

This branch is, of course, all other international banking institutions except Standard Chartered Bank in Hong Kong.

Of course, Chen Jiayi even wants it from Standard Chartered Bank in Hong Kong. It's just that Standard Chartered Bank in Hong Kong is the top priority of Standard Chartered Bank, and Standard Chartered Bank will not sell it anyway. Since this is the case, Chen Jiayi also took a step back. In any case, my financial goal is not in Hong Kong, but in the world. In particular, some countries in Africa and Asia will surely rise in the future. ..., after all, some developed countries like Europe and the United States. A lot of the things to be developed have been developed. Only a few small countries in Asia, and at the same time, countless developing countries in Africa, have great potential for development. The advantage of Standard Chartered Bank is that it has a large number of branches in various countries in Asia and Africa.

This is very conducive to the financial layout of the Tang Dynasty in the future. Besides, instead of developing there now, we will grab the jobs of the developed countries in Europe and the United States, and even if we can grab a little bit, I believe there will not be much. In addition, do you think these financial institutions are vegetarian? These basic financial institutions are not Internet companies, and Tang Dynasty companies cannot have a monopoly like the Internet. What do you take and fight with them?

Naturally, Chen Jiayi's strategy focuses on Asia, Africa, and some developing countries.

Bode pointed out at once, Chen Jiayi did not deny it, but said.

"I didn't expect you to be able to guess. That's right, I just wanted to hit the idea of these branches. ”

"However, it's a pity that your idea is wrong, we at Standard Chartered Bank will never give up these banks?"

With anger, Bode shouted at Chen Jiayi angrily

"No, don't refuse so quickly, you have to think about it, how should you get through the Standard Chartered Bank now?"

Chen Jiayi did not continue to discuss this issue, and put the predicament encountered by Standard Chartered Bank again.

This is a problem that cannot be ignored, and the ultimate reason also comes from this.

If it weren't for the problem with Standard Chartered Bank, Chen Jiayi would have no way to fight their idea even if he wanted to fight them.

Just as why Chen Jiayi didn't hit the idea of a large number of banks in the United States, not the idea of other banks.

It is because of other banks, it is difficult for Chen Jiayi to intervene in them.

"This, we still don't need to worry about Mr. Chen, this is our own business."

At this time, Bode didn't give Chen Jiayi a good look, and even, looking at his appearance, he wanted to drive Chen Jiayi away.

Sure enough, after saying this, Bode stood up, "Please, you are not welcome here. ”

Seeing this, Chen Jia stood up, shook his head, and said, "There are some people who know that they are about to perish, but they refuse to believe it, this is really unwise. And there are some people who know that they are going to be kicked out of the headquarters, but they still haven't woken up at all, which is really stupid. ”

After speaking, Chen Jiayi was about to leave.

It's just that, at this time, Bode said, "Wait." ”

"How?"

"You say some people are stupid, so you are smart. When do you have a solution? ”

"There is a saying in China that it is called abandoning the car to protect the handsome. You haven't heard of it. ”

Chen Jia turned around and said.

"Of course I did."

"That being the case. This is exactly the case with Standard Chartered Bank now. With the fact that he has always controlled all the banks in the world and finally went bankrupt, it is better to abandon the car and protect the handsome. Abandon some other banks to keep Hong Kong's most profitable bank. Nature. You're more likely to survive the crisis. ”

"Isn't that the same way it was, and, after all. You still want our branches. ”

"The approach is the same. But as long as it can achieve results, it is not in vain that I give you advice. Always find some profits, besides, our Tang Dynasty Company is not a charity...... Seeing that Bode was interested, Chen Jiayi also returned to his seat, and. Sit down steadily. And, again. "If not, do you think Standard Chartered will survive this crisis?"

"Shameless." ..., Bode cursed again.

"Now you can say that we are shameless, but who is a businessman who has morals? Let's not talk about us, even your Standard Chartered Bank, is it rare to do such things? By the way, how is your cooperation with Iran going? ”

"Cooperation with Iran?"

Bode's eyes jumped.

"What do you mean?"

"What do you mean, hahaha......"

"If you can launder $250 billion into legitimate and legitimate gains, come to think of it, your Standard Chartered Bank has made a lot of profits."

Yes, what Chen Jiayi said is that Standard Chartered Bank cooperates with Iran to launder money.

In this world, the safest and most effective way to launder money is not to invest in the stock market, nor to gamble, let alone anything else, but to cooperate with world-class banks to launder money and make it legitimate and legal money. Just imagine, with the help of banks, wouldn't it be easier to launder black money?

The reason why Chen Jiayi knew about this was not that Chen Jiayi used hacking techniques to obtain their information. Rather, there was a news about the cooperation between Standard Chartered Bank and Iran in money laundering, which pointed out that the funds involved in money laundering in Standard Chartered Bank reached 250 billion US dollars, which can be described as a huge amount.

Of course, Standard Chartered is not the only bank involved, but also HSBC...... Some other banks and so on. Chen Jiayi hadn't thought of such information, but somehow, suddenly such news flashed and appeared in Chen Jiayi's mind.

It's just that when Chen Jiayi said about money laundering, Bode was shocked, "You, how do you know?" ”

"Well, there's no comment, except that if you really leak your deal with Iran. When the time comes, you Standard Chartered Bank, I don't know if it still exists? ”

Every country is fighting against black money, after all, if a lot of money with unknown benefits flows into the market all at once, it will have a great impact on the whole country. Now that Standard Chartered Bank has been greatly damaged, there is a series of questioning voices coming, if it breaks out that Standard Chartered Bank is involved in money laundering transactions at this time.

I'm afraid that it will not be the media that will attack Standard Chartered, but the US government that will attack Standard Chartered.

"You're so vicious."

Chen Jiayi completely ignored this sentence, and when he took the initiative, Chen Jiayi stood up again, "You can think about it carefully, and use my method, you can not only keep Standard Chartered Bank." At the same time, we can help you in other places. At the very least, you can definitely maintain your original position in Hong Kong. Of course, if you don't cooperate, hehe, the consequences, I think you know ......"

……

Standard Chartered Group.

Standard Chartered Group is the parent company of Standard Chartered Bank, of course, although it is Standard Chartered Group, the main business of Standard Chartered Group is still banking business, and Standard Chartered Bank is still the main business. As for some other businesses, they are only small entries, purely for fun.

As soon as Chen Jia left Standard Chartered Bank in Hong Kong, Bode was recalled to the UK headquarters.

"Bode, what does Chen Jiayi mean by that?"

At the meeting of the board of directors of Standard Chartered Group, Owen, chairman of Standard Chartered Group, personally told Bode.

"This Chen Jiayi actually wants to hit the idea of our branches, what he means is that he wants us to sell these branches to him, so that the Tang Dynasty Group can rightfully enter the financial field."

Owen replied.

"No, it can't be."

Like the original Bode, Owen shared the same opinion of the board members that this was not possible.

Moreover. The other directors also said, "Bode. You know what. Since our establishment, Standard Chartered has gone through more than 100 years to achieve such a scale. Some of these branch banks look small, however. The establishment of each branch bank is due to the fact that we have opened up countless relationships. That's when I got in...... The hidden value is simply difficult to estimate. Now if we sell, then. Later we want to get in. It will take decades. "Yes, I know all of that." ”

As the CEO of Standard Chartered, he knows better than anyone.

However, this is the board of directors of Standard Chartered Group, and he, as the CEO, has less power than them.

After all. He is the CEO and is also appointed by the Board of Directors of Standard Chartered Group.

"Now that you know. So, you should reject Chen Jiayi harshly, why do you still treat such a matter as a major matter of the board of directors, and let all of us discuss it? ”

At this time, some other board members who did not understand the situation were dissatisfied.

In their hearts, they thought, it seems, Standard Chartered needs a new smart CEO.

"I want to be the same as all of you, except that Chen Jiayi has already mastered our deal with Iran."

A series of doubts in the media, those are all small things.

Standard Chartered's reputation for hundreds of years is unlikely to be questioned by these and end there. The key thing is that Chen Jiayi still has the handle of their money laundering. Moreover, with the power of the Tang Dynasty group, not to mention that they are really involved in money laundering, or they are not involved, as long as they are targeted by the Tang Dynasty group, they will take off a layer of skin if they don't die.

"Ah......h

When a sentence was spoken, all the members of the Standard Chartered board of directors were shocked. This is a deal, they thought it was very secret. Moreover, one seems to be above board. Years passed, and they thought that no one would know. However, until now, a globally renowned figure has jumped out and pointed directly to your darkest places.

If Standard Chartered Bank is really found to be involved in money laundering, then Standard Chartered's bank reputation for more than 100 years will be over. After all, banks are meant to preserve the economy. It's just that he destroys the economy instead. With such a bad impact, whether it is the government or users, they will definitely not choose such a bank.

"Well, what now, Bode."

Owen looked at Bode.

After all, BodΓΈ has the most say in this regard.

"In fact, we don't care about Chen Jiayi first, even if there is no Chen Jiayi, our Standard Chartered Bank is still facing many crises. For example, our deposit problem, which has not been solved. Then, we at Standard Chartered may even fall into bankruptcy. At the same time, our scum in various branches around the world has also fallen into a state of loss, and if we continue like this, we will ...... Standard Chartered"

Bode laid out the problems that Standard Chartered is facing right now.

In other words, even if there is no Chen Jiayi, they must also learn to make trade-offs. For example, closing some branches, at least, will not continue to make Standard Chartered lose money. Of course, this is only a small strategy. But it's not possible to increase deposits by closing support, so it's a good idea to sell some branches.

At the very least, you can get a large amount of liquidity to tide over this difficult situation.

"So you are inclined to cooperate with the Tang Dynasty Company?"

"Yes."

Bode took a deep breath.

He knew that there might be some shame in such cooperation, but he felt that it had to be done. So, Bode said, "Although the cooperation between Tang Dynasty Company and us is indeed the idea of beating our branch. However, working with him does benefit us. For example, we can solve our own financial problems, and in addition, cooperating with Tang Dynasty Company will also help to improve the situation of Standard Chartered Bank, directly restore the previous one, and at the same time ......"

Bode analyzed several points in detail, each talking about the benefits of working with Tang Dynasty Company.

"Seemingly, that's all we can do?"

After listening to this, Owen looked at Bode to make sure. Bode nodded heavily, and at the same time, Owen turned to the board members once more and said, "Guys, do you think we have any other way?" "..., if you sell the branches, any one will be depressed, but if you don't sell now, what can you do?

The board members, you look at me, I look at you, and they are speechless.

However, when the meeting was about to end, one board member said, "Although we seem to have no choice but to work with Tang Dynasty, the British authorities may block this deal." ”

Standard Chartered is a bank in the UK, and the UK authorities would definitely interfere with such a huge transaction. In particular, he sold to the Tang Dynasty Group, a super large company. At this time, these countries had secretly reached an agreement to prohibit heavyweights from being sold to the Tang Dynasty group.

Tang Dynasty's failed acquisition of SUN is an example.

However, Bode was not worried, "I think the Tang Dynasty Company will have a way." ”

……

A few days later, Bode called Chen Jiayi.

"We can sell other banking institutions other than Standard Chartered Bank in Hong Kong, but the government may not agree to this deal......"

"Don't worry, I'll leave your government speechless."

After receiving Bode's call, Chen Jia became excited.

As for what he said about the government's ban, Chen Jiayi didn't take it seriously.

When Chen Jiayi wanted to buy SUN, it was all fanfare. Moreover, the US government banned it, which was also something Chen Jiayi expected. However, learning from the previous lesson, where would Chen Jiayi be such an idiot. Since they are too wary of the Tang Dynasty Group, what if it is not acquired by the Tang Dynasty Group?

Just a thought turned, and Chen Jiayi thought of a specific strategy.

Then, Chen Jiayi hung up the phone.

He's going to find someone to help him realize this plan.

This person is Li Jia/Cheng, who met Chen Jiayi before.
