Chapter 504: Cornerstone
After temporarily suppressing the demons and monsters in China, Li Han is also ready to start his final action.
Now Wall Street is basically giving up on buying Silik Bank, at least they are not ready to buy it themselves, but are trying to persuade other banks to buy it.
Because the only bank that can solve the run on Silik Bank is a reputable bank with enough size that depositors can continue to keep their deposits in the bank with peace of mind.
But at this stage, of course Li Han can't let this bank out.
Therefore, Li Han expressed his intention to acquire it to the U.S. government, and the other party also gave a reply.
"Brother Han, what the U.S. government means is that if you want to buy this bank, it's all up to you." "From convincing shareholders to settling deposits, you have to solve all the problems, and ...... them," explained Liu
Speaking of this, Liu Jiana looked a little embarrassed: "Moreover, they require you to sign an agreement with the shares of Cranberry Foods Co., Ltd. in your hand as collateral, and if there is no way to solve the problem of Xilik Bank, you must transfer the shares of Cranberry Foods Co., Ltd." ”
"I did them a great favor, and they threatened me with Cranberry stock...... Bandit logic as always, is this the so-called free financial market? Li Han sneered.
The logic of the U.S. Department of Commerce is very simple: today you have to solve the problem of this bank for me, and if you don't solve this problem, then I will use you to solve this problem.
If Li Han can solve the problem of Xilik Bank, it is the best, if he can't solve it, then hand over the glass handmade hamburger and put the brand in the hands of the Americans, which can be regarded as alleviating the inflation problem in the United States in disguise and giving the US government more time to deal with inflation in its own country.
This bet is to win blood and earn, and if you lose, you will also make a big profit, and you can't lose anyway.
For Li Han, this agreement seems to be a win or a loss, but a blood loss, but it is not.
After taking the Xilik Bank, Li Han will be able to use this as a base to slowly grasp the country's funds, which is a game of winning blood and earnings.
Silik Bank is a very important cornerstone for him.
"Do you agree?" Xia Wenhua appeared from outside the camera and asked dissatisfiedly, "This condition is too much!" You just let them solve this mess on their own, anyway, the more they reason, the worse it gets. ”
"How so?" Li Han sighed, "I don't like this country either, but you have to admit that if the United States falls, the economy of this world will be affected." I'm not doing this for the sake of America as a country, but for myself and our economy. What the world needs is stability, not the demise of any country. ”
"But......" Xia Wenhua frowned, "Then you should also talk to them about the conditions." ”
"No, it's a battle you can't lose." Li Han smiled, "Since more than 20 years ago, the outcome of this battle has been doomed. ”
"More than 20 years ago......" Xia Wenhua raised his eyebrows, as if he understood something, "It's difficult, isn't it, you ......"
"Shh——!h Li Han raised his food signal to silence her, "I will leave the internal affairs of the company to you, when I deal with these foreign institutions, stabilize these domestic demons and monsters, and don't let them make trouble with me." ”
"Got it." Xia Wenhua responded, and at this time, Liu Jiana recaptured the screen, and said with some dissatisfaction: "Please pay attention to one point, your task is to help Mr. Li take care of the company, and it is my task to help Mr. Li handle the work." ”
After speaking, Liu Jiana said with a straight face: "Then, Brother Han, do you still need me to do anything for you?" ”
"Well, you can inform the shareholders of Xilik Bank and let them have a meeting and discuss it well......" Speaking of this, the corners of Li Han's mouth rose slightly, "I want to buy 60% of the shares of their bank, and I will buy it at the current market price, and at the same time obtain the corresponding board votes." Let them think it through and then make a decision as soon as possible. ”
"Acquire their shares at market price!?" Xia Wenhua squeezed back again, "Are you serious?" ”
"Of course, we're not robbers, aren't we robbing?" Li Han said with a smile.
"But this is a bank that no one wants, and if you take it over, you will lose money, and you will buy it at the market price." Xia Wenhua asked in surprise.
"You ......" Liu Jiana put her phone back, "Don't question Brother Han, is it okay?" Let me do my job. ”
"Alright, so be it." Li Han waved his hand and admonished, "Nana, these tasks will be handed over to you." You two, you need to help me manage this company well, understand? ”
"Yes." The two of them answered together, and then cut off the video.
"Whew...... It's finally coming. Li Han let out a long sigh of relief and calmed his heartbeat again.
Although the ending is already doomed, it is still unpredictable when it will end and the follow-up after the ending.
As for the acquisition of the shares of Xilik Bank at the market price, Li Han of course also has other plans.
Most of the shareholders behind Silik Bank are the largest investment institutions in various countries, and it is certainly not good to offend these investment institutions. What's more, Li Han still wants to keep them as shareholders, and the shares in their hands are "hostages".
"Husband." Wang Man reached out and pinched his face at this time, and said distressedly: "Look at you, you have lost weight these days...... The cheekbones are all out. I've got to make up for you in the next few days......"
"Is there a possibility that my wife's needs are too great?" Li Han scratched her nose and teased.
"Then it's even more necessary to make up for it." Wang Man gave him an angry look.
"I'm a little hungry when you say that." Li Han pinched her ass and said.
"What do you want to eat?" Wang Man was lying on his chest, his beautiful legs gently kicking, "I'll give you food below?" ”
"Let's eat it later." Li Han thought for a while and said, "Let's have an egg fried rice, and then some side dishes or something, you can do it yourself, right?" My capable wife. ”
"Hmph......" Wang Man leaned over and kissed him on the face, and then went downstairs to work.
Half an hour later, she came back with a tray, egg fried rice and a chicken cutlet, and there were many ingredients in the fried rice.
"I added the sour and hot shredded potatoes and edamame that I didn't finish tonight, and then gave a ham sausage." Wang Man smiled and blinked, "Wait a minute, I'm going to eat ham sausage too." ”
"It's the child's mother, I can really say it." Li Han nodded on the tip of her nose, and then ate it. Even though he is already the richest man in the country, this is the best egg fried rice he has ever tasted.
"I can't live without you for the rest of my life." Li Han sighed while eating.
"Of course, I promised my mother that I would let you eat her food when she was gone." Wang Man said with a smile.
Li Han kissed her on the face and continued to eat, while Wang Man patted him angrily and wiped off the oil on his face. After gobbling it up, Li Han burped contentedly.
"It's fully charged, and tomorrow we can put the bank in order with full energy." Li Han put his arm around Wang Man's shoulders and smiled.
The next day, Li Han received a message from Silik Bank, inviting him to join their shareholders' meeting.
Due to the time difference, the meeting was scheduled for 9 p.m.
That night, Li Han called Liu Jiana to his home and helped him prepare the video conference.
"Brother Han, it's okay." Liu Jiana gestured, "They have arranged a translator over there, you can just say it directly." ”
Li Han nodded, then clicked to join the meeting, and after a while, a circle of foreigners appeared on the other side of the screen.
After a brief opening remark, the shareholders of the other party began to ask: "You want 49% of the shares, presumably to get control of the bank, right?" So we can ask, what are you going to do? ”
"Hmph......" Li Han laughed, "I really want to know, right?" Yes, of course, you want to know that how can I solve a problem that cannot be solved by exhausting the strength of one country? ”
Everyone at the scene heard the sarcasm in Li Han's words, and there was a whisper at the scene, but no one could speak, because what Li Han said was the truth: there is really no one or a certain institution in the United States that can solve this problem.
The only way to solve this problem is to rely on a bank with a good enough reputation to buy Silik Bank, but that would be difficult to secure the interests of shareholders. So for shareholders, of course, I hope that there will be a person like Li Han.
"You won't understand how it works, either." Li Han shrugged his shoulders and said, "But if you want to know, I can still tell you." ”
As he spoke, Li Han turned to Liu Jiana and nodded, and then Liu Jiana sent the file over.
The assistant there briefly explained Li Han's plan to the shareholders.
"That's all?" One shareholder stood up and asked, "What do I think the legendary investor can give is such a simple plan?" Do you think we haven't thought about it? It simply won't work! ”
Li Han looked at it, and this was actually Kassia Jung, the CEO of Kangda Group.
Sure enough...... Li Han frowned and said to himself: Kangda Group has won the shares of Xilik Bank.
He is not unclear about the purpose of the other party, naturally it is to avoid the entire bank being completely controlled by Li Han, so at least he must ensure that he has more than 34% of the shares in his hand, that is, a veto.
"If you were to carry out this plan, it would definitely not work, but I just could." Li Han smiled, "Anyway, don't worry about it so much, in a word, sell it or not, forget it if you don't sell it." It just so happens that I don't have to use my shares as collateral. ”
The shareholders discussed it with each other, and many of them shrugged helplessly: they couldn't do it better. If they are bought by other banks, their shares will be sold at a lower price, or even completely lost, and Li Han is at least willing to buy their shares at the market price.
"We agree to your request." The final decision was made by the Board of Directors of Silik Bank.
