Vol 2 Chapter 878: Miscalculation

Chapter VIII

Miscalculation

Just as the industry was ecstatic about the soaring stock price of Standard Chartered Bank, the first bad news came.

Peter and the directors of Standard Chartered Bank strongly criticized Lin Feng's previous false remarks, claiming that he had never agreed to Lin Feng's return to Standard Chartered Bank as CEO, and claimed that Lin Feng was fooling the public. At the press conference, Pete also called for everyone to be cautious in buying Standard Chartered stocks, and not to blindly pursue them, so as to avoid heavy losses.

These remarks directly led to the abrupt end of the trend of the stock price of Standard Chartered Bank. However, whether or not Pete is in charge does not seem to matter in the market. The important thing is that Lin Feng can pull Li Zekai and others into the Standard Chartered Bank, and at the same time solve the talent crisis.

152 Hong Kong dollars! Standard Chartered Bank's share price remained at 152 Hong Kong dollars.

But at this moment, the second bad news came again.

The British Sun newspaper published a set of pictures. The picture shows the four billionaires Li Zekai, Tang Jiacheng, Zheng Zhiheng, and Zong Qinghou, who have announced their stake in Standard Chartered Bank, in London, respectively, boarding flights back to Hong Kong and Shanghai.

The news came out, which immediately triggered a wild imagination in the industry. The four of them suddenly appeared in London, logically speaking, to attend a press conference held by Lin Feng, announcing their stake in Standard Chartered Bank. But now, just as Lin Feng is about to hold a press conference, the four have left London. In particular, the Sun newspaper did not know where to get the news, saying that the four of them originally rushed from Hong Kong to London by Lin Feng’s special plane "Wind Wings". Now going back, the four of them took a flight, but Lin Feng's special plane stopped at the airport motionless.

There is a problem here! There is definitely a problem!

Later, the Sun newspaper did not know where to get the news, saying that there was no news of Lin Feng transferring 12% of the stock to the four people within the Hong Kong Securities Regulatory Commission and Standard Chartered Bank. This is a complete bombing! This shows that the four people originally went to London to attend Lin Feng's press conference and announce their stake in Standard Chartered Bank. But for some unknown reason, the talk collapsed, and the four of them returned home angrily.

moment! Standard Chartered Bank's stock price plummeted all the way. You must know that the original market sentiment has recovered from 89 Hong Kong dollars all the way to 152 Hong Kong dollars. The most important thing is the shareholding of Li Zekai and others and the solution of the talent crisis by Lin Feng. Now, Li Zekai and others have not invested in shares, which shows that Hong Kong's wealthy circles will not support Lin Feng. Without the support of Hong Kong's wealthy circles, coupled with the obstruction of former Standard Chartered Bank directors, Standard Chartered's future business in Southeast Asia will inevitably shrink severely. Under such circumstances, a slight collapse of the stock price is also expected.

How could this be? Looking at the stock price of Standard Chartered Bank which has fallen sharply all the way, those Standard Chartered Bank employees who have left their jobs to speculate on the shares of Standard Chartered Bank have no tears. Now the stock price has plummeted from the highest peak of 152 Hong Kong dollars to 108 Hong Kong dollars. Most of them took over at around 135 Hong Kong dollars. Now they have lost a full 44 Hong Kong dollars per share. One share loses 44 Hong Kong dollars, 1,000 shares lose 44,000 Hong Kong dollars, and most of the former Standard Chartered Bank employees bought hundreds of lots (tens of thousands of shares), and the average loss per person was as high as 400,000 Hong Kong dollars.

OMG! how so! ——The resigned Standard Chartered Bank employees are very anxious, how eager for Lin Feng to announce another news at this time, such as a rich man who has bought a stake in Standard Chartered Bank, which can restore the stocks of Standard Chartered Bank which have fallen sharply.

However, before these resigned Standard Chartered Bank employees could relax, the third wave of bad news followed.

Li Guobao, chairman of the Bank of East Asia, announced that it has never reached any agreement with Standard Chartered Bank. Although Lin Feng had previously issued a similar request to the Bank of East Asia, it has been rejected by the Bank of East Asia and repeatedly emphasized that the Bank of East Asia will never help Standard Chartered Bank at the expense of shareholders.

This declaration is to completely push Standard Chartered Bank into the abyss. Without the talent assistance from the Bank of East Asia, Lin Feng would not be able to solve this precarious talent crisis. Although the 200 employees of Maybank promised by Lin Feng are indeed all present today. However, 200 employees are far from enough compared to the 380 employees in the London headquarters of Standard Chartered Bank. It was only able to barely maintain operation for the time being, even if Lin Feng temporarily announced that all employees would cancel their vacations and extend working hours, it would only be temporarily delayed, but it would not be able to save the decline of Standard Chartered Bank.

99 Hong Kong dollars! 89 Hong Kong dollars! ...

The stock price of Standard Chartered Bank plummeted all the way, and finally settled at 37 Hong Kong dollars when the market closed. In one day, the market value of Standard Chartered Bank has shrunk by more than half! The reason why the stock price of Standard Chartered Bank fell so sharply was that the three pieces of news announced by Lin Feng's press conference became false news, and more importantly, everyone had lost confidence in Lin Feng. Originally, the outside world still had hope for Lin Feng's magic, thinking that Lin Feng might be able to create a miracle and turn things around. Now it seems that Lin Feng has failed.

Although Lin Feng once turned things around for a while, Lin Feng failed in the end. People can't beat the sky! Even if Lin Feng is the richest man in the world, even if Lin Feng has done countless miracles, he is still just a person, not a god.

The external disillusionment of Lin Feng's magical halo is also the reason why Standard Chartered Bank's stock price has dropped to a freezing point today. Affected by the sharp drop in the stock price of Standard Chartered Bank, Hong Kong bank stocks generally fell today. The most obvious is the Liao Chong Hing Bank, which dropped from the original 17 Hong Kong dollars to 10 Hong Kong dollars. The second is the Bank of East Asia. It was originally raised to 35 Hong Kong dollars because of Lin Feng’s secret acquisition, but today Li Guobao’s announcement is tantamount to sentence of death for cooperation between Lin Feng and the Bank of East Asia. Originally, the outside world thought that if Lin Feng and the Bank of East Asia cooperated, it would be a win-win situation. Now it seems that it is very likely to be a lose-lose situation. Of course, the decline of the Bank of East Asia is only temporary. As long as the report data is good enough, it will rise back sooner or later.

"Boss!" Lin Chiling looked worried.

Originally the situation was very good today, and Lin Chiling also thought that Lin Feng had really turned things around, but in the end, it was this situation. Not only did Standard Chartered Bank fail to make any progress, it was even more deeply mired in the quagmire.

Seeing Lin Chiling's worried look, Lin Feng instinctively couldn't bear it. He wanted to tell Lin Chiling the truth that all of this was acting. However, after thinking about it, this matter is related to tens of billions of dollars in funds, and it is a turning point in his career, Lin Feng cannot take risks. What's more, his secretary is so worried, and he can give the outside world a false signal even more.

After hesitating for a while, Lin Feng decided not to tell Lin Chiling for the time being. As for Lin Chiling's dissatisfaction afterwards, Lin Feng could only make up for it by other means.

"Zhiling, I'm going out alone, so you don't need to come with me. Li Rui will follow me." Lin Feng ordered, and Lin Chiling walked out of the Standard Chartered Bank headquarters with a worried look on her face. Li Rui was walking around in the street with a few people.

"Kacha" and "Kacha", a flash of light flashed.

The Standard Chartered Bank headquarters has long been guarded by reporters. Seeing Lin Feng come out, how could I let it go, immediately surrounded by Lin Feng. However, under the strong protection of Li Rui and others, Lin Feng fluttered away, leaving everyone with a "lonely" figure.

auzw.com Many reporters glanced at each other and their eyes lit up. Although no valuable news was interviewed this time, Lin Feng didn't even say a word. However, Lin Feng's expression and back figure had already betrayed him. Looking at the photos in his hands, Lin Feng was so frowning, and his back was so lonely. With these two photos, they were already able to look at the pictures and talk.

Thinking of this, many reporters didn't bother to bother Lin Feng. After all, Li Rui and others around Lin Feng are not vegetarians. They sometimes get too close to Lin Feng and often eat the black hands of Li Rui and others. Now that there is news, let Lin Feng move freely. Anyway, they can just look at the picture tomorrow and talk.

After many reporters left, Lin Feng smiled secretly. To come out by myself today is to give the outside world a feeling that I am out of luck. If there is no alternative, then the shares of Standard Chartered Bank will continue to fall sharply. Falling to the ideal price of 15 Hong Kong dollars set by Lin Feng and Pete!

"Boss, no one is following us anymore." After walking another distance, after the corner, taking advantage of the lack of people, Li Rui pulled Lin Feng into a car that had already been prepared.

After hurried all the way, the car parked outside the door of an ordinary villa on the outskirts of London.

"Hi, Pete, did you act well!" Lin Feng walked into the house and greeted Pete enthusiastically, who was grinding coffee in the house.

"Ha, Chairman, the coffee has just been ground, come and **** newly bought coffee beans." Pete poured Lin Feng a cup of coffee.

"Well, yes, let me just say, the newly bought coffee beans taste good!" Lin Feng alluded to the coffee discussion with Pete before.

"Haha!" The two laughed.

After a while, Pete solemnly took out a stack of documents from a briefcase.

"Chairman, this is a financial company that has just been registered. The company is registered in New Guinea. The representative is a rich man in Russia. Due to political asylum, he came to the UK and wanted to acquire a bank to take root in the UK." Pass the information to Lin Feng.

The company called "Commercial Bank of New Guinea" was registered by Pete for Lin Feng. The purpose is to use this company to acquire the shares of Standard Chartered Bank in the hands of those British directors. Otherwise, buying them in the name of Lin Feng will definitely not sell these face-saving antiques. They would rather bring in the coffin than sell it! As for this representative's information, it was completely fabricated by Abramovich. Anyway, for the British, Russia can hardly be regarded as Europe or Asia, but a separate state. In addition, it is the transition from socialism to capitalism. I do not know how many rich Russians have embezzled state-owned assets and ran away. There is no way to find out.

Lin Feng nodded heavily.

"Then everything goes according to plan!" After Lin Feng took the information, and after discussing the relevant details with Pete in detail, he quietly left.

Then, Pete waited again, and then drove away alone. After that, he took a Russian to the homes of these British directors.

"What, want to buy the shares of Standard Chartered Bank in our hands? No, we will definitely not sell!" Hans and others heard what this strange Russian came from, and suddenly jumped three feet high. They quarreled with Lin Feng this time just to take back the control of Standard Chartered Bank. Now it is like this. There is no reason to let them let go.

"Director Hans, I didn't want to bring this Mr. Abakramavich. But the current prospects for Standard Chartered Bank are not good. Lin Feng is afraid that he wants to have a dead fish. He holds 50.1% of his shares and fights again. Going down, I’m afraid it will eventually fall apart. It happened that this super-rich from Russia found me and offered to buy shares in Standard Chartered Bank, so I brought him to see you.” Pete explained.

"Yes! The current situation of Standard Chartered Bank, I don't need to say more, everyone knows it. If this continues, I am afraid that Standard Chartered Bank will have no second way besides going bankrupt. Therefore, you might as well sell me the stock. I am confident and Lin Fight against the wind!" The Abakramavich said swearingly.

Many directors frowned.

"Well, today is only my first visit. I will leave first. This is my acquisition contract. You can take a look and think about it. But I want to remind you that the stock price of Standard Chartered Bank may fall again at any time. If it falls again, mine The purchase price will not be so high." Abakramavich finished speaking, and walked away.

At this time, many directors opened the contract and found that the purchase price shown above was 45 Hong Kong dollars per share, which was a full 10 Hong Kong dollars higher than the closing price. But everyone is not at all happy. You should know that in the morning, Standard Chartered Bank was worth 152 Hong Kong dollars per share. Now it is only 45 Hong Kong dollars for the purchase price, which is not even a fraction. How can everyone be happy.

"No, I will never sell it." Hans said fiercely. He was humiliated by Lin Feng in public, and he was almost choked to death by Li Rui. He would never give up his shares in Standard Chartered Bank so easily.

"Well, we don't sell either." Many directors nodded when you look at me and I look at you.

Hearing this, Pete was not in a hurry, just smiled. Now is only the first day, and tomorrow will be more exciting. When watching stocks plummet all the way, it's up to you whether you sell.

The next day, when Lin Feng's frowning expression and photos of his lonely back were published on the front pages of major newspapers, Standard Chartered's stock price continued to fall. When the market closed, only 17 Hong Kong dollars remained. Between two days, Standard Chartered Bank dropped from the highest of 152 Hong Kong dollars to today's 17 Hong Kong dollars. The gap is too great.

Taking advantage of this price difference, Lin Feng also took the opportunity to start buying a lot of goods. These tradable stocks are the best money-making chips. Now it is buying on dips, and when Standard Chartered Bank rises in the future, Lin Feng will take the opportunity to sell. That's another huge amount of wealth. Things like the tens of billions of dollars in the Japanese financial struggle will never happen again, and now such a good opportunity cannot be let go.

Seeing this stock price, the directors of Standard Chartered Bank have a sad face. At this time, that Abakramavich came to everyone again. However, the proposed purchase price dropped to 37 Hong Kong dollars. He also threatened that if the fall continues, he will consider not buying shares in Standard Chartered Bank.

damn it! ——The director of Standard Chartered Bank gritted his teeth. They didn't expect things to get to this point. Lin Feng actually watched the stock price of Standard Chartered Bank plummet all the way to 17 Hong Kong dollars and refused to compromise. This was completely beyond their expectation.

Miscalculation! Miscalculation!
