Rebirth

After getting out of the airport, I got into the car and went to Tianya Investment's Hong Kong headquarters. I chatted for a while. Perhaps I understood that Li Feng had something to talk with Bill and Li Shanquan. The shrewd Li Zekai found an excuse and quickly said goodbye.

After leaving the second son of the Li family, Li Feng and his party returned to Bill's office again.

"BOSS, our results have been gratifying during this period of time. According to your instructions from the original BOSS, the initial funding of nearly 10 billion U.S. dollars was mainly targeted at South Korea, and the rest also set aside certain funds for Japan, Malaysia, Indonesia, etc. A certain amount of shorting.

Among them, South Korea’s exchange rate fell the fastest. Today, the exchange rate has fallen by nearly five levels. At that time, we invested roughly US$6 billion in principal in South Korea, or US$12 billion. Now South Korea’s foreign exchange reserves are completely empty.

Because of your frequent investment in BOSS, we have also made a double leverage. We have transferred nearly US$5 billion from the account for use in the Mainland, Bay and South Korea.

In general, the nearly tens of billions of funds at that time were leveraged, and we had 20 billion U.S. dollars of capital. So far, short selling in South Korea’s foreign exchange and stock markets has gained nearly 6 billion U.S. dollars in gains. About two and a half floors, which is about 2 billion US dollars, the total income is nearly 8 billion US dollars.

In the past, because you needed so much capital to invest, we cashed out everything except South Korean funds. Otherwise, the latter would be more than US$2 billion."

Bill explained the general situation again. Although he knew the result a long time ago, after all, he read the report briefing every day, but Li Feng was still happy.This financial crisis is really a lucky place for Li Feng.

...

"In other words, if the South Korean part is also withdrawn, plus our first-phase investment income, so far, we have almost 20 billion US dollars in net income?" Li Feng asked excitedly.

Sure enough, after listening to Li Feng's words, although Wang Siqing knew that Li Feng had made a lot of money, he was still shocked by the huge amount of funds.

"Yes, and I believe this number will increase with the deepening of the financial crisis, especially when the foreign exchange and stock markets of various countries fall to the bottom, which is the most suitable time for us to buy bottoms, and then wait a few years. These countries have eased from the financial crisis, and perhaps they have gained several times." Bill and Li Shanquan replied excitedly.

Obviously, these two are experts on how to make money from the financial crisis and have made detailed preparations.

"Well, when it exceeds 50%, according to the original plan, we can slowly withdraw. By the way, how is Wu Jianmin of East West Bank preparing now?" Li Feng asked again.

"Understand, we will implement it according to the original plan. As for East West Bank, boss, don't worry. Now banks acquired from all over Asia are controlled in the form of private equity funds of our investment company, although Wu Jianmin has already sent people. It started to reopen, but the ownership of these banks is still in our hands for the time being.

After the financial crisis has passed, Huamei will conduct a series of mergers and acquisitions. I think at that time, your boss, your shares in Huamei may exceed 7 floors, and you can fully control it."Bill replied with a smile.

Both Bill Weilibe and Li Shanquan are well aware of Li Feng's importance to East West Bank, and similarly, his ambitions for East West Bank are clear.

Similarly, a true super consortium must have its own banking and financial system, so as to ensure its long-term sustainability.

Think of the super consortia of the American Emperor, which consortium does not have its own banking system, Rockefeller’s Chase Manhattan Bank, Morgan’s Morgan, Mellon Bank of the Mellon Consortium, California Consortium’s Bank of America, Boston Consortium’s Bank of Boston and so on.

...

For Huamei's positioning, Li Feng is also very clear, that is, to learn from Wells Fargo Bank's strategy. On this point, he has negotiated with Wu Jianmin, mainly focusing on retail services, and high-quality services are the hallmark of Huamei Bank.

Why would Wells Fargo Bank in later generations stand still? It is dedicated to retailing and playing a high-quality service card. In the United States, most people want to make deposits. Wells Fargo Bank is their first choice, compared to Citi, Chase Manhattan, and Motorola. Wait, Wells Fargo is the most stable.

Similarly, when the economic situation is good, Citigroup may grow faster than a sound bank, but once economic instability occurs, such as the economic and financial crisis in 2008, it will be very dangerous.

The financial crisis in later generations would have been huge if it weren't for Citigroup's huge bankruptcy, and the government's support would have led to its bankruptcy.However, Wells Fargo did not move during the financial crisis, and finally acquired a lot of high-quality assets at the price of cabbage to expand its strength.

Huamei’s goal is to use Wells Fargo as the standard. In addition to the Chinese communities in the United States, it pays special attention to the development of California, such as Silicon Valley. Now Huamei has also begun to rise in these areas, and even some places have begun to compete with Wells Fargo. .

In today's American banking industry, Huamei has the title of "little rich country", that is, everyone has discovered that the way Huamei is taking today is simply the old way of the rich country.

Naturally, Huamei also has the advantage, that is, it has launched a lot of bank funds, relying on the Tianya Investment Company's super investment ability to attract funds, and it has attracted many customers. These customers can be said to be grabbed from Wells Fargo.

You know, in the US, Wells Fargo is also their first choice for ordinary people to buy financial products from banks, but now Huamei has attracted many customers, and it has naturally become a competitor within a certain range for Wells Fargo.

...

"After that, what's the result of Standard Chartered now?" Now that it is talking about the banking and financial industry, Li Feng finally cared about the last important project again and asked seriously.

Yes, Li Feng fell in love with Standard Chartered Bank, one of the three major note-issuing banks in Hong Kong.

From the acquisition of Huamei, Huamei began to develop abroad, especially in the acquisition of banks in Hong Kong, the Mainland, Southeast Asia and even all over Asia. In addition to the small banks acquired, Li Feng also fell in love with one company even in the world. It is also a famous bank, that is Standard Chartered Bank.

Huamei started from the American emperor’s side, and Standard Chartered’s foothold is in Asia, the Middle East, Africa and other places. If Huamei can complete the snake swallowing and acquire Standard Chartered, it can be a perfect geographical combination, and secondly, it can make itself The banking group is completely constituted as a true multinational financial consortium.

"BOSS, due to the impact of the Asian financial crisis, the stock price of Standard Chartered Bank has plummeted. We have already acquired 11% of the outstanding shares in 4 private equity funds. But for the time being, we have stopped. After all, we have to buy again. Basically, you will be alerted.

Now we better be able to collect shares from the shareholders who hold the shares, so as to ensure the possibility of our final acquisition. Once the news of our acquisition is released, we will face a reverse takeover on the one hand, and on the other hand, it will be an acquisition. Prices will also skyrocket, which is not economical."Li Shanquan replied with a smile.

Li Shanquan was responsible for the acquisition of the Standard Chartered project. Therefore, after hearing Li Feng's question, Li Shanquan responded with a smile.

"I understand. Give me the results of the investigation. I seem to remember that the Huo family and Qiu family have a lot of shares in Standard Chartered. I will find a chance to try it." Li Feng has heard about it from the memory of his previous life. He replied with a smile suddenly.

"That's the best." Li Shanquan smiled and handed Li Feng a document in reply.

...

Afterwards, everyone chatted again for a while, and made a detailed plan for Li Feng's previous and next investment and the expansion of his subordinate industries.
