Chapter 774 Standard Chartered Board of Directors

Regarding the obvious targeting and opposing attitudes of the former Chairman of Standard Chartered and Levin Goldston, Li Feng naturally did not give others a good look. He had a good conversation with the CEO of Davis. Look at the situation outside, Li Feng knew that the first two guys were obviously the main opposition.

The same is true with Wu Jianmin before. Davis, the chief executive officer, is not bad. He heard Wu Jianmin talk with him and expressed kindness.This is the fact. Standard Chartered's internal management and so on can't be single-minded, it's nothing more than fighting one group and drawing one group.

From the Standard Chartered office area to the Standard Chartered exhibition hall, Li Feng, accompanied by the chief executive officer of Davis and a group of Standard Chartered tycoons, took a good stroll, and finally the group arrived at Standard Chartered, which looked a little rudimentary. The round table of the board of directors, management committee, shareholder representative meeting room.

"Everyone, I think everyone should understand my intention. I don't know what you think next?" Li Feng sat on the chair of the conference room without letting it go, watching the people on both sides sit in succession, Li Feng said with a smile .

"Mr. Li, the British Banking Regulatory Commission has not formally approved the acquisition of Standard Chartered." As soon as Li Feng's voice fell, the chairman said hurriedly.

"Oh...? Really, Dominic, have you shown our share purchase documents to them?" Li Feng ignored what others said, and naturally he didn't wait to see him who was obviously unfriendly to him. Wu Jianmin, who was seated first on the left, commanded.

"Oh...BOSS, I forgot. No, now I have a copy of the document. I will send it to Mr. Bryan and they will verify it." Wu Jianmin also pretended to forget.

After speaking, he took out a stack of documents from his briefcase and distributed them to the original Standard Chartered management, directors, and shareholders sitting opposite.

...

"Impossible, how could you have 65% of the shares so soon?" Just after sending out the document, as everyone looked through, the second on the right, Goldstone, suddenly exclaimed.

"Mr. Sir, I'm really sorry, but I think this document should be true." Li Feng replied with a smile.

"how is this possible…?"

"Look, although it has not yet received the official approval from the Banking Regulatory Commission of the United Kingdom, I think it has reached such a point that there shouldn't be much resistance, right?" Li Feng replied confidently.

Today, Li Feng is very confident that even if the British government has the intention to obstruct it, there is no way. The shares are too much. Standard Chartered originally had no major shareholders, and they were all small shareholders. Now his family is the dominant one, and no one can stop his acquisition.

"Mr. Li, it seems we want to congratulate you on officially owning Standard Chartered."

"Yes, Mr. John, I hope to cooperate happily in the future!"

"..."

Many shareholder representatives and directors who originally opposed, saw that the shares stated in the documents in hand had reached 65, several immediately changed their attitudes, and many immediately flattered Li Feng. Li Feng laughed secretly.

"You...?" Seeing the dumbfounded look of Levin Goldston and Chairman Brian made Li Feng even more amused.

"Levin, Brian, obviously, Mr. Li's acquisition of Standard Chartered is a foregone conclusion. Since it is all like this, then we naturally hope that we can cooperate with Mr. Li happily in the future, right?"

"Yes, Levin."

"..."

At this time, everyone knows that the management authority of Standard Chartered for nearly half a century from the reorganization of the Goldstone family after World War II to Standard Chartered has finally ended, and Standard Chartered will enter a new stage.

...

"Well, now that the ones who should leave have already left, let's talk about the situation of Standard Chartered. Although Standard Chartered has a very good reputation, I never understand why Standard Chartered always spread the news of the acquisition. What's the reason?" As the chairman of Citigroup and the opposition represented by Levin Goldston left, Li Feng asked with a smile at some of the remaining shareholders.

"BOSS, I think, first, the scale is too small, and now the market value of Standard Chartered is just over 10 billion U.S. dollars. With such a size and Standard Chartered’s main market is in emerging markets such as Asia, Africa and Latin America, it’s no wonder that financial consortia want Acquisition, this will become the best supplement for those international financial giants.

Second, the shares are too dispersed. So far, more than 10% of the shareholders of Standard Chartered are only the Qiu family in Singapore. For example, the Goldstone family, which has controlled Standard Chartered for half a century, only has less than 8% of the shares.

A company with such attractive market prospects, small market value, and scattered shareholders is naturally everyone's goal."Wu Jianmin said with a smile below.

"Next, I will announce an appointment. Mr. Dominic, President of East West Bank, will soon become the new chairman of Standard Chartered Bank, and will soon take charge of Standard Chartered. In the future, I hope that Standard Chartered can cooperate and help each other with West America."

"Mr. Li, are you planning to merge Huamei with Standard Chartered?"

"No..., just a Huamei is not enough. Our company is called Standard Chartered Bank. Obviously, it seems to be a misnomer at present. Since we still use the name Standard Chartered, I want to make it worthy of the name. "

"Do you want to reopen the negotiations and re-acquire or re-merge South African Standard Bank?" a director asked in surprise.

"If it is possible, why not?" Li Feng replied confidently.

"Gosh..."

"I have a huge appetite..."

...

Standard Chartered Bank also has another name, Standard Chartered Bank. In the late 1960s, it was formed by the merger of Standard Bank of South Africa and Standard Chartered Bank of the United Kingdom. At that time, Standard Chartered acquired 39% of the shares of Standard Bank and became the largest shareholder. It is the origin of the Standard Chartered Bank.

Unfortunately, in the late 1980s, the British Standard Chartered Group sold 39% of its shares in Standard Bank. Although it continued to use the Standard Chartered name, it clearly became a misnomer.

"The original sale of the shares of Standard Bank was also decided by the Goldstone family and some shareholders. We were actually opposed to it at the time, otherwise it wouldn't be so troublesome." Someone complained below.

"Mr. Li, if your vision can be fulfilled, how will the company's shares be distributed?" Another shareholder representative asked.

"The first step is to integrate Standard Chartered internals. We must ensure that Standard Chartered has a unified internal decree. When necessary, privatization may be initiated. After our goal is completed, we can consider a unified listing. I think the market value of the company will satisfy everyone. of.

Next, consider merging with Huamei or cooperating with each other. For example, the American business that Standard Chartered loses every year can be sold to Huamei, etc., so that Huamei and Standard Chartered can be perfectly connected.

Finally, immediately contact Standard Bank at the same time. I think there will always be someone on the board of directors and company management who is familiar with Standard Bank.

Dominic, I will leave it to you next. The entire Century Consortium is now in a state of expansion. I can’t stay in London for a long time. After two days, I will have meetings with Prince Charles, Queen and Prime Minister Blair. Approved by the British Banking Regulatory Commission."

"BOSS, I understand, don't worry!" Wu Jianmin replied affirmatively.

Listening to Li Feng's ambitious words, everyone who sat down was shocked.

...

"Levin still wants to lobby the government to oppose it?"

"It turned out to be in contact a long time ago. No wonder the lobbying between Levin and Brian was useless.

"Mr. Li has a good relationship with Her Majesty the Queen, Prince Charles, and the new Prime Minister. Didn’t Mr. Li buy Rolls-Royce last time? And now, many of the London real estate tourism projects, Mr. Li’s company has a share. participate."

"Brian and Levin are destined to be in vain!"

"It was destined a long time ago, it's not a level confrontation at all!"
