Rebirth of the World’s Richest Man

Chapter 3614 Subtlety

“The news I got is that China Construction Bank has found two companies and is preparing to issue shares in a targeted manner. Is this the case?” Jiang Xiaobai did not rush to tell Mr. Wang what he had in mind. But after expressing his attitude, he asked again.

Mr. Wang nodded: "Yes, there is such a thing. We are looking for two foreign-funded enterprises. As you know, our domestic banks now want to find international strategic investors, reorganize assets, and then list them on the market.

Our CCB is of course the same. We need to find international strategic investors and then list in Xiangjiang. "

Mr. Wang said, Jiang Xiaobai and Mr. Huang looked at each other, of course they understood the meaning of finding an international strategic investor.

 It’s not that these domestic banks have money to burn and must give it to foreign-funded enterprises abroad to make money, but they have no other way.

 If you want to go overseas or go public, you need to find strategic investors.

 Strategic investment has many meanings. For example, the introduction of strategic investors can help companies improve their shareholder structure, while establishing a governance structure, regulatory system, legal framework and financial system that is conducive to listing.

 This is what the four major banks need most. The original four major banks have always relied on the top. But now that they want to enter the market, they cannot continue to rely on the top as before.

  It needs to be modernized company systems, structures, regulatory systems, financial systems, etc. This requires strategic investment to be responsible.

In addition, the introduction of strategic investment can also help companies better solve employee incentive problems and establish an employee incentive system that is conducive to listing.

Of course, this does not matter to the four major banks, but the key point is that strategic investors, especially international strategic investors, have been operating in the market for many years and have a strong vision of the international market, industry operation experience and strategic resources. It can help companies grow and mature faster, improve their core competitiveness, and ultimately lead to improvements in corporate performance and shareholder value.

Finally, the introduction of strategic investors can help companies quickly expand their scale by introducing strategic capital, making it easier to obtain the support of investment banks and the pursuit of investors when they go public in the future.

 This is the significance of introducing strategic investment, especially international strategic investors. Of course, the strategy will also make a lot of money in this process.

“I know, you approached Bank of America and Temasek.” Jiang Xiaobai said directly.

 Mr. Wang nodded.

“But I think Huahua Bank can also act as an international strategic investor and play this role well,” Jiang Xiaobai said.

Mr. Wang suddenly smiled bitterly when he heard this. He knew that Jiang Xiaobai must have something to do with him, but he didn't expect it to be something like this.

"Director Jiang, to be honest, I can't make the final decision. I very much agree with Huahua Bank's international status, as well as your capabilities and management system. But the problem is that this listing project is not my decision." , Mr. Zang is in charge, I can’t get involved. Besides, the introduction of two investors, Bank of America and Temasek, was approved by the board of directors.”

 Mr. Wang paused and continued: "And Mr. Jiang, let me tell you the truth, if things are not settled, your Huahua Bank is not hopeless, although it is worse than Bank of America in terms of scale and volume.

 But in terms of closeness to our country, Huahua Bank is definitely the first choice. At the very least, it can get a strategic investment position.

 But now that both parties have started talking, it will be very difficult for Huahua Bank to intervene..."

Jiang Xiaobai didn't take it seriously. Everything in this shopping mall will turn around before the dust settles. Nothing is impossible: "Mr. Wang, please help us. We were old friends before. You have been with China Construction Bank for so many years." , believe me, bringing in our Huahua Bank is definitely better than bringing in other strategic investments.” Mr. Wang shook his head: “Director Jiang, I’ll tell you the truth, even though I have been with China Construction Bank for many years, I can even be said to be a veteran of three dynasties. But he has always had little say.

It’s not that I don’t want to help, it’s just that I’m powerless. But if it counts, I would have been the first one to come to Huahua Bank. With the relationship between the two of us, I would definitely be willing to let Huahua Bank come in. …”

Jiang Xiaobai looked at Mr. Wang. He knew that if he just asked Mr. Wang for help, Mr. Wang would definitely push it if he could and would not be willing to participate in such a thing.

  But if this matter is beneficial to Mr. Wang, Mr. Wang will definitely not refuse.

“Mr. Wang, we are also old friends. If our Huahua Bank can join China Construction Bank as a strategic investor, apart from other things, we will definitely support you on the board of directors.”

This strategic investor can basically join the board of directors as long as it has been negotiated well and holds more than 5% of the shares.

Even if the audit committee and the nomination and remuneration committee hold more shares, it is not impossible for the board candidates they recommend to join the strategic development committee.

Jiang Xiaobai gave Mr. Wang real benefits. Didn’t you say that you have no right to speak? Well, I will give you the right to speak.

 As long as you help me, I will help you from now on.

When Mr. Wang heard this, he was slightly startled and fell silent immediately.

There is a saying that a man cannot lose power for a day. Men, this is what they pursue. Although I am the vice president of China Construction Bank, I have gone through several leadership changes, and it has never been my turn, and I don’t even say it is my turn. If you are on your own, your right to speak is just that big.

 It would be completely different if someone supported him on the board of directors.

Mr. Wang admitted that he was tempted, but things on Jiang Xiaobai's side were also not easy to handle. Now that the negotiations with both families were almost complete, it would be quite difficult for Jiang Xiaobai to intervene in the matter.

It’s easy to say that it will be successful. In the future, there will be people sent by Hua Bank on the board of directors to support me. I will not have no say at all. I will definitely have greater rights in the future.

But if this thing cannot be done, it will be difficult for me to move forward in CCB in the future, and I will even be marginalized even more.

  When Bank of America and Temasek send people to the board of directors of China Construction Bank, wouldn’t they be targeting themselves?

 The rewards of this matter are not small, but the risks are high.

"Mr. Wang, I think this matter will work or not, you can give it a try..." Mr. Huang on the side said, originally his words were persuasion.

 But he is often abroad and does not know much about the national conditions, nor does he grasp the subtleties of this matter.
