After Huang Zixiang's "mine" was "robbed" by Huifeng and buried under his feet, the Huang family did not get complacent and hated Gao Yi, because one did not dare, and the subsequent rumors confirmed that Gao Yi refused Huang Zixiang's loan for a reason. It did not belittle the Huang family, which consolidated the effect of being afraid.
The financing was so beautiful that Huang Zixiang must take credit from his father Huang ting. Huang Tingfang was naturally very satisfied and decided without thinking that the bidding for the land would be handed over to his eldest son.
Huang Zixiang was happy and secretly calculated how much money he could move to his company to invest in Hang Seng index stock futures. If he returned empty handed, he could move more money.
At this time, Huang Zida, Huang Tingfang's second son, brought a message. It was true that Qiu deba's family raised funds, but it was not for real estate projects that might compete with us in the Singapore Malaysia market, but for the acquisition of Standard Chartered Bank.
"Buy Standard Chartered Bank?" Huang Zixiang said in surprise: "has the Qiu family's trouble in Brunei been solved? Besides, Standard Chartered Bank is not an ordinary commercial bank."
"This news is not wrong on the whole." Huang Zida replied: "it is said that Lloyd's Bank, one of the four traditional clearing banks in Britain, suddenly launched a forced acquisition of Standard Chartered Bank in London. Standard Chartered Bank failed to resist. Qiu deba joined forces with two other consortia to acquire the shares of Standard Chartered Bank as a white knight to protect the independent status of Standard Chartered Bank."
Huang Zixiang suddenly realized, "in this way, ye Licheng really didn't deceive me. Gao's Bank Group is concentrating its efforts to support Qiu deba's acquisition of Standard Chartered Bank. Such a struggle between the two tigers has no more than HK $10 billion, and there is no chance of winning."
Huang Tingfang pondered, "do you know which two consortia Qiu deba has united?"
"It's said that it's Bao Yugang from Xiangjiang and Robert houm from Australia." Huang Zida replied: "Robert Holm, after all, Qiu deba has a hotel business in Australia and has accumulated some contacts. It's not surprising, but Bao Yugang fought with Qiu deba last year for huidefeng. Finally, Qiu deba lost. How can this scene still be remembered? Now Qiu deba has joined hands with Bao Yugang?"
"In order to acquire a bank headquartered in London, from three regions closely related to the UK, a Singapore consortium, a Xiangjiang consortium and an Australian consortium, it is a perfect match." Huang Tingfang waved his hand, "Each family has its own way to make money. It has nothing to do with us if people want to show off. It's very deep here. Just look at it from a distance."
……
The Huang family all know that Qiu deba has joined the acquisition war of Standard Chartered Bank. Obviously, Huifeng only knows in more detail. For example, Qiu deba alone got the first loan of HK $3 billion from the goldsmith Bank Consortium, and then considered more things.
After Huifeng Daban puweishi learned the news, his head was as big as a fight.
The reason is obvious. Now Huifeng bank group, Koch bank group and Standard Chartered Bank Group stand in the Xiangjiang banking industry.
On the surface, Qiu deba took the lead in acquiring Standard Chartered Bank as a white warrior, but we can't ignore its source of funds. Once Qiu deba and Bao Yugang successfully obtained the controlling stake of Standard Chartered Bank, the influence of Gao's Bank Group must have penetrated into the past. Among the top three in the Xiangjiang banking industry, the second and third are secretly popular, and it's hard for the first to be strong.
Such potential threats should be quietly destroyed.
Pu Weishi thinks about it. Shen Bi, the former Huifeng senior class who retired a few months ago and is now Huifeng's consultant, has to help secretly. It's not because Huifeng is not used in London, but Shen Bi has served as Huifeng senior class after all. The pattern is there. It's more considerate to solve problems.
Shen Bi, who is in a state of giving full play to his waste heat, is a little more complicated than Pu Weishi, because Lloyds Bank, which took the lead in launching a malicious acquisition of Standard Chartered Bank at this time, had previously broken his good deeds.
Shen Bi completed the North American market in Huifeng's international "triangle stool" strategy, that is, after successfully acquiring American ocean Miran bank, he turned his international attention to the UK and Royal Bank of Scotland.
At that time, Lloyds Bank and Standard Chartered Bank were both competitors, jumping up and down to buy Royal Bank of Scotland. As a result, there was too much noise, which alerted the British monopoly and merger Commission. Finally, Zhengzhi waved his hands, and the fire of hope for the acquisition was forcibly extinguished.
Now Lloyd's Bank has laid a black hand on Standard Chartered Bank, and Shen Bi is very happy. However, Standard Chartered Bank has a high position in Xiangjiang banking industry. If it is pocketed by a stronger Lloyd's Bank, it means that the pattern of Xiangjiang banking industry that Huifeng was able to handle must change, which is unacceptable.
Of course, Shen Bi doesn't want to see Qiu deba and Bao Yugang get the controlling stake of Standard Chartered Bank in the posture of white warrior. As PU Weishi worried, the financier behind them is obviously the Gao's Bank Consortium. Although the harm is not as big as Lloyds Bank, they have to be prevented.
After communicating with PU Weishi, Shen Bi used resources to contact Anthony barber, chairman of the board of directors of Standard Chartered Bank Group, and Michael McWilliam, CEO, so as to meet them and express their interests.
The current situation of Standard Chartered Bank Group can be described by life and death, because Lloyds Bank did not have any good intentions in forcibly acquiring Standard Chartered Bank.
You should know that large traditional commercial banks in old capitalist countries such as Lloyd's bank can rarely avoid the pit of Latin American sovereign debt crisis, because after the outbreak of the world oil crisis in the 1970s, those Latin American countries rich in oil resources took the opportunity to rise, and their large-scale entry into the Latin American market has various advantages, including colonial historical origins, So easy to make money and deep.
Under such circumstances, Lloyds Bank's forced acquisition of Standard Chartered Bank is full of malice, which is entirely based on expansion.
Standard Chartered Bank is like the previously split Dadong telegraph group. Although its headquarters and the first stock listing place are in London, its business mainly depends on the UK overseas market. Specifically, Standard Chartered Bank contributes as much as 90% of its UK overseas business, of which Xiangjiang contributes a lot.
It can be predicted that Lloyd's Bank, which is one of the five traditional clearing banks in Britain, will only retain those assets that complement itself by virtue of its size advantages once it successfully acquires Standard Chartered Bank. To put it bluntly, few of the ghost guys who are supported at the London headquarters of Standard Chartered Bank can stay.
With such interests, Standard Chartered Bank has a strong sense of resistance to the forced acquisition of Lloyd's Bank. During the meeting with Shen Bi, Anthony barber made it clear that Standard Chartered Bank welcomes consortia from Singapore, Xiangjiang and Australia to act as the White Knight of the acquisition war.
Shen Bi asked in a bad way, "have you ever considered who is the real Standard Chartered Bank acquisition warrior?"
Anthony barber was, after all, a mature politician who served as chancellor of the Treasury of heath house in Britain more than a decade ago. He was resourceful and quite calm.
But Michael McWilliam could not hide his arrogance in front of his old competitors, "Sir Shen Bi's meaning, we understand that if Lloyds Bank wins the controlling stake of Standard Chartered Bank, it is really difficult for us to resist. It can be replaced by Qiu deba, Bao Yugang and the Gao's Bank Group behind them. We have our own control and balance. They can honestly be shareholders waiting for dividends."
