Gao Xian noticed Zhang Yuliang's desire to stop talking. He was very satisfied with the other party's response. The "money bag" should have the consciousness of "money bag". Anyway, you won't lose it.
In the final analysis, Gao Xian's plan includes not only a, but also B and c
According to the plan, Gao Xian began to contact Lloyd's Bank, which was also interested in acquiring Royal Bank of Scotland, but one thing was that he had released the news early without waiting for the result.
In fact, no matter whether Lloyds Bank agrees or not, Gao Xian will not really put it in his heart when the two sides jointly acquire Royal Bank of Scotland. Seeing that Scots have such strong xenophobia, he is also adjusting his goals.
As expected by Gao Xian, after the wind was released, it caused another uproar, because the operability of Gaoyi bank and Lloyds Bank to forcibly acquire Royal Bank of Scotland is very strong.
In the face of media inquiries, Gao Xian and the executives of Lloyd's bank told the truth that we are discussing the feasibility of cooperation, and we can't give a yes or no answer at present.
After Royal Bank of Scotland determined this new change, it really began to panic. It can bully Gao Xian, an "outsider", but Sir Gao's financial resources are well documented, such as the income of a submarine oil field in the Gulf of Mexico on the table and the identity of IBM's major shareholder.
As a result, the Royal Bank of Scotland no longer followed the "public opinion" that resolutely could not be sold to outsiders, resumed negotiations with Standard Chartered Bank, and accelerated.
In this case, the "big fish" Gao Xian had been waiting for was finally blown out. Shen Bi, the senior class of Huifeng bank, who must have learned the news, hurried to London.
Huifeng bank, under the leadership of Shen Bi, has formulated the "triangle stool" strategy for international development. Why is it that the Royal Bank of Scotland can become an acquisition target and lag behind Standard Chartered Bank and Gaoxian?
We can't blame Huifeng bank for its incompetence. You know, Huifeng bank at this stage is headquartered in Xiangjiang. It is the quasi Central Bank of Xiangjiang. At the same time, it means that its operation mainly revolves around Xiangjiang; Although Standard Chartered Bank has a large number of businesses in Xiangjiang and has the right to issue notes, it has been headquartered in London since its establishment, so it is naturally more informed about the UK; As for the ability to compare intelligence with Gao Xian, it is not necessary.
In addition, Huifeng bank itself is really busy,
For example, the "foot" of North America in the "triangle stool" international development strategy has been realized, but the American marine Miran bank is not so easy to digest. Moreover, the American marine Miran bank needs the "blood transfusion" of Huifeng bank every year because of its serious losses. It is described as that the Americans are asking Huifeng bank to pay tuition fees.
For another example, the construction plan of the new headquarters, and even the claim of sovereignty for governance, are also distracting Huifeng bank.
However, it has been known for some time that Royal Bank of Scotland is facing a three-party acquisition. Huifeng bank can't know for the first time, but it didn't show up until this time, which is somewhat intriguing.
When Shen Bi came to the door, Gao Xian pretended to be confused and asked, "what business does Huifeng bank have in London that Sir Shen Bi should handle personally?"
Shen Bi said with a smile, "Sir Gao always captures opportunities so accurately."
Gao Xian "suddenly realized" and said, "does Sir Shen Bi mean the bidding for Royal Bank of Scotland?"
"I have almost mastered the situation." Shen Bi nodded and then said tentatively, "Sir Gao wants to buy Royal Bank of Scotland so much that he plans to join hands with Lloyds Bank?"
Gao Xian nodded, "there is no turning back when you open your bow. Since the acquisition has encountered resistance, you should always try all possible solutions. Otherwise, you can't explain to other partners."
"Well..." Shen Bi said thoughtfully, "Sir Gao also knows that Huifeng bank has been promoting the international development strategy. Now it is still far from Europe, so Huifeng bank is willing to take over Sir Gao's unfinished plan."
Speaking of this, Shen Bi accentuated his tone and offered: "Of course, sir Gao's previous work achievements are very important. Your offer to RBS is not 150P cash per share. Huifeng bank is willing to buy the shares of RBS held by Sir Gao with 160p cash per share. I think this will help Sir Gao give a satisfactory explanation to his partners."
"In addition, Huifeng bank also wants to invite Sir Gao as an adviser on the acquisition of Royal Bank of Scotland. You are an expert in this field now."
Shen Bi's moves were so generous that Gao Xian was embarrassed to use the routine to bargain, so he was as kind as a runner: "in terms of friendship, Lloyd's bank must be an outsider compared with Huifeng bank. Since Sir Shen Bi is so enthusiastic to help me get rid of the situation of being unable to go up and down, I have no reason to refuse."
Gao Xian looked at Shen Bi with the most sincere eyes and began to enter the role of consultant. He put himself in the other side's shoes and said, "it's just that the Scottish xenophobia is very strong and really difficult to deal with."
Shen Bi smiled with confidence, "it doesn't matter. I already have a way to deal with this seemingly unsolvable problem."
Gao Xian wisely didn't bother Shen Bi's good feeling of planning strategies. In fact, he can guess Shen Bi's response. Since Scots are so xenophobic, let's play the hometown card.
You know, although Shen Bi is English, the kaiserk family, a controller similar to Jardine's, is Scottish. Huifeng bank can be called a strong Scottish gimmick. Its founding purpose is to use the Scottish tradition to operate a bank in Asia. For a long time, the management power of Huifeng bank has been in the hands of Scots.
Since Huifeng bank thinks it's OK, let's go!
Sure enough, Huifeng bank took the place of Gaoyi bank and joined Royal Bank of Scotland after the acquisition. After the acquisition, Huifeng bank affectionately shouted: "my parents, Standard Chartered Bank and Lloyds Bank are outsiders, but I am my own! I am willing to give a more sincere price for this acquisition, and after the acquisition is completed, Scottish institutions are welcome to control part of the equity."
Not to mention, this hometown card is really effective. Scots really don't have much aversion to Huifeng bank, and Huifeng bank's quotation is not generally generous. Every eight fully paid shares of Huifeng bank are exchanged for five ordinary shares of Royal Bank of Scotland, which is equivalent to 203 pence per share according to the current market, It is nearly 50% higher than the quotation reached earlier by Standard Chartered Bank and Royal Bank of Scotland.
Seeing that the real enemy appeared, Standard Chartered Bank quickly offered a higher offer, that is, one share of Standard Chartered Bank's common stock, plus a floating rate bond with a face value of 225 pence, plus 220 pence in cash, in exchange for five shares of Royal Bank of Scotland's common stock.
Gao Xian, who is watching the war, is not without envy. This is the performance of the acquisition war.
