Rebirth

Looking at the words of Zeng’s sister and the manager of the Xiangjiang branch of Joaquin Corporation, everyone at the scene looked at it. Obviously, Li Feng’s acquisition of Standard Chartered has opened up the relationship between Xiangjiang and Huaxia. This made the rich people envy. .

Banks such as Standard Chartered that have the right to issue notes are definitely the focus of government monitoring. If you don't get the government's support and approval, even if you really control the equity, it will be very troublesome to operate smoothly.

Today, Li Feng’s acquisition of Standard Chartered is actually facing two of the biggest difficulties. They are the support of the governments of China and John Bull. As long as they can get the approval of the two governments and rely on more than half of the shares, they will control Standard Chartered. It's easy.

If at this time, whether it is Hong Kong, China, or the British government that opposes it, or even passes some regulations, it will eventually fall short.

In this regard, Li Feng naturally understood that as long as he got the shares of the three White Knights, Li Feng began to take action, first contacting the Chinese government.

After all, Li Feng is now the largest foreign investor investing in China, and he has also taken a stake in the first private bank in the mainland. He has a fairly harmonious relationship with the mainland government, and finally won the government's approval.

On the contrary, it is a bit troublesome in the UK. Now the news of Standard Chartered's acquisition has caused an uproar in the UK.

John Bull may still be silent in the glory that never sets. Standard Chartered was once their pride. At this time, the sudden announcement of being acquired naturally caused shocks from all walks of life in the UK, and the voice of opposition was still quite loud.

...

Another point is that the management of Standard Chartered and the shareholders in the UK, especially the former management of the Standard Chartered Goldstone family and the shareholders who support them, are more opposed to it, and they have even begun to act.

It is said that they have begun to lobby the government and hope that the government can prevent Li Feng's acquisition. The main reason is Standard Chartered's management and operation rights. After all, Li Feng's acquisition of shares is a foregone conclusion, so we can only think of ways in management and operation rights.

In the same way, Li Feng is also taking action. For example, he has already contacted all the bigwigs whom he met in the UK before, including the royal family and the prime minister’s office. Li Feng has already called, hoping to let them turn a blind eye. Eyes, how else did Li Feng receive the news?

In addition, in the American Empire, Li Feng contacted a number of American emperors including Rockefeller and Roosevelt, and asked them to help all parties connect, hoping that he could fully control Standard Chartered as soon as possible.

Under the coordination of all parties, the U.S. imperial government naturally supports Li Feng’s acquisition, and even now President Zipper (,) Dunn has publicly stated his position, hoping that the British government will allow it, saying that this is a normal business practice. No other clouds are involved.

It can be said that even if Li Feng has now obtained the status of a major shareholder, there is still a final hurdle in the tense game. Li Feng is also preparing to wait until the reception is over here, and he will rush to London soon. It's time for me to make an effort in London.

Although he knew the result a long time ago, Li Feng couldn't help being happy when he heard what the two said.

The younger sister of the Zeng family is itself an executive of Standard Chartered in the Asia-Pacific region. With the influence of the Zeng family, it is self-evident. Obviously, those managers in the Asia-Pacific region are starting to stand in line, and the Zeng family The younger sister obviously represents a group of people. Similarly, the statement of Huajin Company made Li Feng even more happy.

...

"John, congratulations, it seems that you are only one step away from completely controlling Standard Chartered." Old man Qiu Deba couldn't help but congratulate Li Feng with a smile at this time.

"Little John, we will be up to you next. Standard Chartered has always been the pride of the British financial industry. I hope you can control Standard Chartered as soon as possible." Li Chaoren echoed.

"Thank you for your encouragement, and hope I won't let you down."

"..."

It has to be said that at this time, Li Feng’s half of Chinese ancestry played a little role. After all, most of the people present were Chinese. Coupled with Li Feng’s own strong strength, he quickly received congratulations from everyone present. At least these people are all present. It can be regarded as supporting Li Feng to completely control the acquisition of Standard Chartered.

"Thank you... Standard Chartered will still need your support in the future. I hope we can all cooperate happily!" Faced with the support of many bigwigs, Li Feng also humbled his attitude, which was recognized by everyone.

After some business bluffs, Li Feng is going to leave as the host. After all, he has to greet other people, and he can't ignore the others just to deal with the big guys.

"Everyone, I'll say goodbye first, and go around, you must have fun."

"Haha... John, don't worry, the Felix restaurant at the Peninsula Hotel is so famous, we won't let it go. Besides, the owners of the Peninsula are here, so don't worry."

"Just..."

"..."

Everyone agreed. That's right, Michael Kadoorie, the owner of the Peninsula Hotel, the contemporary owner of the Kadoorie family, was chatting with everyone.

...

"Mr. Li, hello!"

"This is President Chen..."

"Mr. Li, hello!"

"This is Mr. Sun..."

"..."

Accompanied by Li Shanquan, Li Feng wandered around the court and greeted various groups of people from time to time. Those big business executives greeted Li Feng respectfully, making Li Feng's vanity overwhelming.

"BOSS, this is Mr. Chen Qitai, Chairman of Ports International, and Mr. Chen Hanjie, his younger brother." Li Shanquan suddenly introduced to a pair of burly middle-aged boys to help Li Feng.

"Oh..., hello, two President Chen, I am St. John Lee, and my Chinese name is Li Feng." Li Feng's eyes lit up, and then he introduced himself with a smile.

"Li Sheng, hello, this is Chen Qitai."

"I'm Chen Hanjie..."

"Ports, I've heard of it. It is said that it is now the number one brand of women's clothing in China." Li Feng replied with a smile.

Speaking of Ports, Li Feng naturally knows that he has investigated Ports, especially when he wanted to buy Spring Department Store before, he deliberately learned about who let the domestic Spring Department Store be the leading one.

...

"Haha... Li Sheng, I heard that you are going to buy Spring Department Store. If you can do it, then we may be collaborators. I wish you in advance."

"Haha..., President Chen is very well informed, I hope it can be as you said."

"..."

I have been in contact with the Chen brothers of Ports, and I have a good impression. But to be honest, Li Feng is really impressed with Ports. After all, Ports is developing very well in China. At this time, the domestic luxury goods market and foreign products are still Rarely, Ports is the leader.

But the limitations of Ports are very obvious, that is, with the subsequent influx of major fashion luxury goods, Ports' market share continues to decrease, and finally slowly declines.

In Li Feng's view, the biggest mistake of Ports was to move the group's headquarters to China. Except for the preservation of the foreign design department, the rest was done in China.

Although in this way, relying on the domestic environment, it occupied the initial market, but this allowed Ports to maintain a "fake foreign brand" hat, and finally fell in the wave of the world's top luxury goods constantly pouring into occupying market share. .

If Ports still maintains its original foreign brand strategy, in Li Feng's view, Ports is actually very good. Think about the later European luxury brands, which one did not make a lot of money in China.

...

"Sister Qiong, hello, long time no see!" While thinking about Ports, Li Feng saw He Chaoqiong, the wife of the king of gambling, walked over with a few people, and said hello with a smile.

"Hello, John, let me introduce to you. My brother and brother will not talk about it. These two are the Lin brothers of Genting Group Malaysia, the elder brother Lin Guotai and the younger brother Lin Zhihua."

"Oh..., two, how are you guys, Genting Group, I have heard about it a long time ago, and welcome the two of you!" After hearing He Chaoqiong's introduction, Li Feng also said hello with a smile.

Whether it was the Ports Chen brothers before, or the Genting Chen brothers now, Li Feng is still very interested in the projects behind them.
