Vol 2 Chapter 880: Second bank

Chapter VIII

Second bank

When Li Zekai and Zong Qinghou took a stake in Standard Chartered Bank and each held a 3% stake in Standard Chartered Bank, the industry was shocked and speechless. It was impossible to guess how Lin Feng turned things around in a few days. The most depressing is the Sun reporter. Yesterday they also photographed Lin Feng's lonely look, walking alone on the streets of London at dusk, as desolate as his back was. Looking at Lin Feng at that time, it was like the end of the world. But who ever thought that things would change so much after one day.

Regardless of how depressed the Sun reporter, Li Zekai and Zong Qinghou's participation in Standard Chartered has directly promoted the continuous rise of Standard Chartered's stock price. At the same time, the family behind Li Zekai, Tang Jiacheng, and Zheng Zhiheng also announced that they would consider in-depth business cooperation with Standard Chartered Bank after Standard Chartered Bank stabilizes.

This declaration, with the status of the three families in Hong Kong, also indirectly represents the attitude of Hong Kong's wealthy circles towards Lam Fung's acquisition of Standard Chartered Bank. Standard Chartered's stock price rose again exponentially, from 15 Hong Kong dollars to 57 Hong Kong dollars in just one hour.

Looking at the stock price of Standard Chartered Bank soaring all the way, the former directors of Standard Chartered Bank who sold the shares looked black. Looking at this posture, even if the stock price doubles again, it will not be a problem. They have lost hundreds of millions of dollars invisibly. In just such a day, their losses amounted to hundreds of millions of dollars, which is really unacceptable.

Hans and Brook, the only two shareholders who did not sell, were also unhappy. Although the stock price rose and their wealth also rose, their original intention was to drive away Lin Feng. Now it seems that Lin Feng is full of means, and it seems impossible for them to drive away Lin Feng. Moreover, the two of them sensed a hint of conspiracy under the abnormal fluctuation of the stock price.

Taking advantage of Hong Kong's rich community's support for Standard Chartered Bank, Lin Feng throws out his tricks. The high-profile announcement is that Standard Chartered Bank will annex Liao Chong Hing Bank, a local bank in Hong Kong. After the annexation, the name of the bank will be changed to the new "Second Bank".

This declaration is undoubtedly a Tokyo earthquake in the banking sector of Southeast Asia. No one expected that Standard Chartered Bank would suddenly annex Liao Chong Hing Bank. Prior to this, Liao Chongxing Bank was coveted by other institutions due to its limited capital and wanted to acquire it. However, because the Liao family owns 47.82% of the shares in Liao Chong Hing Bank, the Liao family does not sell it, and foreign forces cannot buy Liao Chong Hing Bank at all. Now that Standard Chartered Bank has annexed Liao Chong Hing Bank and renamed it "Second Bank", it is clear that the Liao family will sell all their equity.

The outside world exclaimed on the subsequent announcement of the shareholding. Before the annexation, Liao Chong Hing Bank, the Liao family held 47.82%, Japan's Mitsubishi Tokyo Ufj Bank held 9.66%, and the Hong Kong Mortgage Corporation held 20% of the shares. Now Lam Fung personally holds 70% of Liao Chong Hing Bank. , The Liao family holds 7.48%. Two small shareholders, Mitsubishi Bank of Tokyo Ufj and Hong Kong Mortgage Corporation Limited, sold on rallies when the stock price of Liao Chong Hing Bank rose abnormally and chose to make quick money. After all, the stock price of the smallest bank in the country suddenly exceeded 70 Hong Kong dollars in an instant, which is not normal enough.

The two companies hold Liao Chong Hing Bank for the purpose of making money, not to develop Liao Chong Hing Bank. Now that the price is so high, it is strange not to take the opportunity to sell. The next home is naturally Lin Feng. Although the acquisition of Liao Chong Hing Bank, a total of 29.66% in the hands of the two companies, at a price of up to 70 Hong Kong dollars, it was a bit of a loss. However, compared to the new Standard Chartered Bank in the future, the purchase price of 70 Hong Kong dollars is quite a bargain.

And when this news came out, the outside world was even more horrified. No one expected that Lin Feng would actually do so many things in the past few days. He actually acquired Liao Chong Hing Bank in a quiet manner and obtained absolute controlling rights.

Vaguely, some smart people began to notice the weirdness in this.

At the time of the final annexation, Liao Chongxing’s share price was 70 Hong Kong dollars per share, with a market value of 34.5 billion Hong Kong dollars, Standard Chartered Bank 60 Hong Kong dollars per share, and a market value of 78 billion Hong Kong dollars. % Shares, after the merger, Lin Feng owns 33.93% of the shares of "Second Bank".

The shares of Standard Chartered Bank owned by Li Zekai and Zong Qinghou were converted into the "Second Bank" and the shares changed from 3% to 2.08%; the Liao family held 2.29% of the "Second Bank". As for the two former directors of Standard Chartered Bank, Hans and Brook, they hold 4.85% of the shares of "Second Bank". As for the so-called Abakramavich, it holds 16.64% of the "Second Bank"; Bao Peili holds 10.05% of the "Second Bank"; Robert Home holds the "Second Bank". 5.2% shares.

Standard Chartered Bank became the "Second Bank" after annexing Liao Chong Hing Bank. To the outside world, it is almost like a fantasy. At first, everyone thought that Standard Chartered Bank was going to go bankrupt. Under the toss of Lin Feng, the former director of Standard Chartered Bank and the rich Russian Abakramavich, Standard Chartered Bank is likely to go bankrupt. Who would have expected that in just a few days, Standard Chartered Bank was indeed gone, but an additional "second bank" came out, and it was a perfect solution to the talent crisis of Standard Chartered Bank's Hong Kong branch.

Of course, the more important point is that although Lin Feng's shareholding is not absolutely dominant. But anyone with a discerning eye knows that, except for Hans and Brook, and the Russian rich man Abakramavich, the rest of the equity supports Lin Feng.

Counting the shares of Bao Peili, Robert Home, and Li Zekai and Zong Qinghou, Lin Feng owns 57.5% of the shares and still occupies the absolute dominance of the "Second Bank". In the "Second Bank", Lin Feng still said one thing.

Seeing this result, although Hans and Brooke were uncomfortable, their equity was too small to have any effect at all. Moreover, after the merger, the shares of the two people were still weakened to a certain extent, which made them even more uncomfortable. Now, the two can say that they have no position in the "Second Bank". Of course, their only expectation lies in the Russian billionaire Abakramavich. He also owns 16.64% of the "Second Bank". Counting the shares of the two of them, the three of them own a total of 26.34% of the new "Second Bank". Although it is lower than the 33.93% of the shares actually held by Lin Feng, it is not far off.

In case, these allies of Lin Feng had a break up with Lin Feng for some reason, they might be able to take advantage of the vacancy. ——The beautiful imagination of Hans and Bruce.

When the "Second Bank" was temporarily suspended and submitted to the Hong Kong Securities Regulatory Commission for review, although the outside world admired Lin Feng's method, it was unexpectedly able to turn things around in such a difficult and dangerous situation. This is not what ordinary people did. But he still raised an objection, believing that although the prospects of this new "second bank" are good, there is no one at the helm so far. Although Liao Liewu and Liao Liezhi of the former Liao Chongxing Bank can serve as the chief executives of the "Second Bank", they can barely maintain even a small Liao Chongxing Bank. Such a complicated "Second Bank" can only be maintained by their abilities. Can't handle it at all.

Unless Lin Fengneng invites Pete, the former CEO of Standard Chartered Bank, and only Pete, who has worked for Standard Chartered Bank for more than 20 years, can reorganize the "Second Bank" and get the "Second Bank" back on track as soon as possible. Operation. You must know that although Hong Kong's wealthy people expressed their willingness to cooperate with the "Second Bank" at a deeper level, it refers to the normal "Second Bank", not the "Second Bank" in chaos and struggle.

But can Pete return to "Second Bank" as CEO? The outside world is not optimistic. Before that, Pete had a nostril with the former director of Standard Chartered Bank, standing on the opposite side of Lin Feng, how could he return to the "Second Bank" and work under Lin Feng.

The Sun declared that Pete would never return to the "Second Bank" unless the sun hits the west.

And this is also the dependence of Hans and Brooke. As long as Pete does not come back, Lin Feng cannot find a suitable president candidate in a short time. At that time, the brand-new "Second Bank" was added with two more people without a leader. The banks have just merged and will be chaotic. That is the time for them to attack again.

But to everyone’s surprise, when everyone was speculating on how Lin Feng would lobby Pete, Lin Feng had already held a press conference with Pete and announced in a high profile that Pete would return to the “Second Bank” as the chief executive officer. Official position, and Pete will own a 5% stake in the "Second Bank". The company will increase its holdings of 68 million shares, which will be used as a reward after Pitt integrates the resources of the two banks and puts the "Second Bank" on track.

After this increase in holdings, all of your shareholdings have weakened slightly by 5%, and Lin Feng owns 32.23% of the shares. Although it seems that Lin Feng's shares have been further diluted, in fact Lin Feng's control over the "Second Bank" has been further strengthened. With the unspoken and ambiguous eyes of Pete and Lin Feng at the press conference, it would be too stupid for the outside world to know that the two of them were actually acting at this moment. It now appears that everything that has happened before is a bureau, a bureau that counts the directors of the original Standard Chartered Bank, and a bureau that counts the Standard Chartered Bank.

After this arrangement, Lin Feng not only had full control over the "Second Bank", but also made the "Second World" completely surnamed Lin. Before that, although Lin Feng acquired "Standard Chartered Bank", because the former directors of Standard Chartered Bank left too deep a mark on Standard Chartered Bank, they have their own cronies in various departments. It can be said that Lin Feng, although apparently controlling "Standard Chartered Bank" , But in fact the control over Standard Chartered Bank is by no means as strong as it seems. It can be said that the following can completely violate Lin Feng's decision. But now, the resignation of these thousands of employees just gave Lin Feng the opportunity to put his confidant in.

Now Lin Feng has completely firmly controlled the "Second Bank" in terms of equity and actual personnel, and branded it as his own private bank.

Witnessing this situation, Hans and Brook, who still hold the "Second Bank", both had their eyes bursting with anger. They never thought that Pete would wear a pair of pants with Lin Feng, especially thinking that Pete had sworn to them before, threatening to make Lin Feng look good and let Lin Feng know how powerful it is. As a result, they now stood completely beside Lin Feng, which was a naked betrayal to them. Of course, Pete's betrayal is also reasonable. 5% of the shares of the "Second Bank", what a fortune, it would be strange if Pete didn't betray them.

damn it! ——Hans and Brooke can only secretly curse Lin Feng's insidiousness and viciousness, and they have offered such generous terms in order to make Pete rebel.

Pete's arrival greatly stabilized the floating hearts of the "Second Chanting". After all, there was no real person in charge before. The employees of the two banks have been secretly competing, hoping that the people on their side can be assigned to a better department. Although Lin Feng is magical, although there are countless magical auras on his head, it is not omnipotent. Lin Feng can be said to be powerless with meticulous management in this area. Fortunately, as soon as Pete took office, he successively introduced various measures, emphasizing that everyone is equal before opportunities. As long as you have the ability, you will never be buried by the company.

The "Second Bank" also returned to calm in the shortest time. However, the outside world still holds a certain degree of skepticism. What would the British side think about Lin Feng's "steal" (the outside world believes that Lin Feng completely stole this old bank with more than 150 years of history) and Standard Chartered Bank. Although the "Second Bank" is listed in Hong Kong, it is undeniable that the United Kingdom still has a certain influence on it.

Just when the outside world was in doubt, Lin Feng once again announced an astonishing news that the most popular prince in Britain, Prince William, will take up an important position in the "Second Bank" during the holiday.

Although Lin Feng did not announce that Prince William will assume any other duties, Prince William’s going to the “Second Bank” represents a signal in itself, which shows that the British side does not pursue Lin Feng’s “theft”. For all investors, this is undoubtedly exciting news.

The British royal family also admitted this point later, frankly that Prince William would work in the "Second Bank" during the holidays to increase social experience. ——The British royal family is rather helpless about this. Earlier, Prince William told Queen Elizabeth II that when he was going to work at Standard Chartered Bank, Queen Elizabeth II was very happy. But who could have expected that there would be so many incidents in Standard Chartered Bank afterwards, and it would be "stolen" by Lin Feng in the end.

But he has promised Prince William, as the British royal family can not go back. Moreover, this acquisition by Lin Feng is also a normal capital operation and is supervised by the Hong Kong Securities Regulatory Commission. In this regard, the British royal family is not good at preventing Prince William, who has a tough attitude, from taking up a post in the "Second Bank". What's more, don't forget that Lin Feng has the title of Lord Commander of the British Empire, which was conferred by the British royal family. If you object, this is undoubtedly a shame.

When the news that Prince William is about to work in the "Second Bank" was heated by the outside world, the "Second Bank" was opened!
