Rebirth

Before dinner that day, Li Feng received a call from Wu Guangzheng, saying that he was helping contact the widow of the Australian White Knight, and he mentioned it a little bit. Finally, he said that the other party was also interested, and gave Li Feng a call and asked Li Feng to contact him directly. other side.

There is a saying, "The difficult ones will not, and the meeting ones are not difficult." This is the same as doing things. It is as simple as having a wide range of contacts. Through the Bao family, you can directly contact the widow of the Australian hotel tycoon, one of the three white knights. Got it, and Wu Guangzheng immediately understood it, and he made a settlement with them, and they did intend to sell it.

It turned out that the Australian hotel industry tycoon among the three white knights also passed away in 1992. Today's wealth is in the hands of his 52-year-old widow.Yes, when the tycoon died, his wife was only 47 years old. Anyway, it is normal for the tycoon's wife to be dozens of years younger than him.

Naturally, Li Feng doesn’t understand this woman named Janet Holmes, but this rich Australian woman is also a capable person. Janet, who has never experienced business, has taken over the business since her husband’s death and has managed very well. , Was once known as the'Australia's richest woman'.

Even in the future, the richest woman in Australia will participate in the Australian election. It is said that Australia wanted to leave the Commonwealth and adopt a presidential system, and the richest woman in Australia wanted to run for the president, and her voice was still very high.

Li Feng from later generations naturally understood that Australia still did not leave the Commonwealth. Anyway, when Li Feng was reborn, Australia was still under the Commonwealth system.

Speaking of which, Wu Guangzheng is simply helping to convince the other party. He just waited for Li Feng to contact him, and waited for a direct offer to purchase. Looking at the contact information recorded in his hand, Li Feng shook his head and stopped temporarily. The boring thoughts are real.

After looking at the time, considering the time difference between Hong Kong and Sydney, I found that Sydney was only around 8 o'clock in the evening. I immediately picked up the phone and started calling, thinking about contacting first, otherwise it would seem too insincere.

...

After hanging up the phone, Li Feng's heart surged with excitement.

The effect of the call is very obvious. After Li Feng’s call was connected, the other party was also very polite. When Li Feng expressed his intention, the other party was very direct. He said that he listened to Pete Wu (Wu Guangzheng’s English name) and Li Feng was ready to go straight. Acquired at the market value before the financial crisis.

However, the richest woman in Australia said that the price was low. In the end, after a bargain on the phone, Li Feng promised another 10% premium, which finally satisfied her appetite. Li Feng didn't care. As the saying goes, it is not a big problem that can be solved with money, but it is the most difficult to pay back the debt of favor.

Li Feng agreed on the phone that he would send someone to Sydney to sign the contract directly. As for himself, he said that it was because he wanted to acquire Standard Chartered, and he really couldn’t get away. I hope to be considerate and say that it is a success. People came over to drink the celebration wine, but they didn't care, and they said they were waiting for the big drive in Australia.

After thinking for a while, he took the phone and dialed Bill Weilibe's cell phone again.

"Bill, let me tell you something. First, I will send someone to Australia right away. The Australian Standard Chartered White Knight’s shares have reached an agreement to transfer the shares. Oh, you should go there in person and keep it at any time. contact.

The second point is to let people accelerate the acquisition of Standard Chartered shares from the stock market, and strive to keep our shares in the stock market above 20%, the more the better."

"BOSS, this will greatly increase our costs; secondly, Standard Chartered will understand the situation within two days."

"I can't control that much. Both the Bao family and Australia have taken the shares. They have a total of almost 13% of the shares. Next, I will go to Singapore and have a personal talk with the Qiu family, who has about 15 % Of the shares, I will do this part of the shares.

If we take it, plus our temporary 11% of the shares, it will be nearly 40%. I hope that we can increase at least 10% of the shares so that we can hold a controlling stake. We must not miss this opportunity."

"BOSS, understand, I booked a ticket with this wine."

"No, go directly by private jet, I've arranged it."

"..."

...

That night, I said goodbye to Bill Weilibe. The next day, Li Feng took people directly to the headquarters of the Global Investment Group in Hong Kong and signed a transfer agreement with the daughters and sons of the Bao family. The price is actually not expensive.

It has to be said that the market value of Standard Chartered has not increased much from the time when the three White Knights took over. In 1986, when the three White Knights took over, the market value of Standard Chartered was only £34 billion. The year’s development, the peak market value has just exceeded the 10 billion mark.

Before the financial crisis broke out, in fact, the entire Southeast Asia had already broken out, and Standard Chartered's performance was mainly in Asia, the Middle East, Africa and other places. Asia is naturally the top priority.

At this time, the domestic economy has not yet risen, and the situation in Southeast Asia and other places has been eroded, resulting in the ugly financial statements of Standard Chartered, and the performance of the stock market will naturally not be good.

Before the financial crisis broke out, the market value of Standard Chartered Bank had fallen below the tens of billions mark. At this time, Baojia did not make random quotations. In the end, based on the market value of 8 billion US dollars, 6.5% of the shares cost Li Feng about 600 million US dollars.

Similarly, the contract stipulates that after it officially enters Standard Chartered, Standard Chartered will give Wheelock and Global Shipping a total of US$3 billion in loans.

Not long after Li Feng signed the agreement with Bao’s family, in the afternoon, there was also good news from Australia’s Bill Weilibei. From Robert Homus’s widow, he successfully got 4.8 billion dollars with a market value of 9 billion dollars and 432 million dollars. % Of shares.

The shares of the two companies are less than Li Feng thought. Originally thought they could have a 13%, the result was only 11.3%. Obviously, the two had already quietly reduced their shares before, which made Li Feng a little disappointed.

After bidding farewell to the Bao family, after receiving Bill's notice, I called the Australian richest woman again to express her gratitude, which made the senses of the Australian richest woman a lot better.

...

Although Li Feng kept Bao’s family and Robert’s widow secret, Li Feng knew that this secrecy was useless. After all, Li Feng chose to buy their shares in secret, but the people and things involved are really not. Few, and therefore, Li Feng chose a quick fight.

When the Bao family and the Homus family's shares were acquired, Li Feng did not wait for Bill to come back and directly borrowed Li Chaoren’s private jet to fly directly to Singapore. That night Li Feng also stepped into this famous and famous'Lion City'. Known as the prosperous capital.

"Hello, Mr. Lee, this is James Wade, the manager of American Express Singapore!"

When Li Feng and his party walked from the airport apron to the VIP room, someone was waiting to meet him. This is the manager of Express in Singapore. They brought people to the airport to meet him personally, just for Li Feng service.

"Hello, James, trouble you!"

"Mr. Li, you are polite, it is my honor to know you!"

"Don't talk about anything else, I have always been satisfied with the service of American Express. Have the hotel rooms been booked?"

"Of course, as you said, there are three adjacent suites on the top floor of the Goodwood Park Hotel."

"OK, let's go!"

"please…!"
