Chapter 842: Chance Encounter

bank!

Abby Cohen is also aware of Lin Feng’s future plan to build an all-round game-entertainment-sports platform that will cover the world and become the first choice for leisure and entertainment for all mankind. However, the funds required for such a large plan will be calculated in the hundreds of billions of dollars.

Lin Feng's own funds are far from guaranteed. If he chooses to borrow money from banks, he will be severely constrained in all aspects. There are many precedents in the industry, which are often very beautiful and creative, but in the end due to various reasons (mostly affected by

funding restrictions) and died young.

Lin Feng's plan is undoubtedly more grand and beautiful, but if it is restricted by others in the capital chain, the only result will be that the plan changes and is arbitrarily modified by the investors. After all, businessmen value profits and are interested in what they want.

It is short-term profit, and he hopes that the higher the profit, the better. Lin Feng hopes that while making amazing wealth, he can also give back to the society. This is consistent with the theory of many investors. What's more, Lin Feng also hates it.

Being controlled by others, therefore, acquiring a bank and playing with capital operations is the way to go!

"Lin, according to the information and analysis collected by my team and I during this period, we currently want to acquire Standard Bank of South Africa and obtain enough controlling rights. We need at least 41% of the equity in order to have the right to speak. However, since you belong to

Acquisition, rather than cooperative mergers and acquisitions. Therefore, at the current stock price of Standard Bank of South Africa of US$12, if you want to acquire 41%, you will need at least 2-3 times the price, which will cost at least US$12.2 billion. Obviously, we do not have enough funds. Therefore.

, I suggest that we start with Standard Chartered Bank, the 41.5% shares in Bao Peili’s hands, and the 14.99% shares in Qiu Deba’s hands, and then buy a little more from the market, plus a little more from small shareholders, and then we can own

A controlling stake in Standard Chartered Bank. When the time comes, you will use your personal assets (loans from Standard Chartered Bank) to acquire Standard Bank of South Africa. At that time, Lin, you will have two banks on different continents and can stabilize the world's financial community." Abby Cohen

Looking ahead to her plans.

Lin Feng nodded. Abby Cohen's plan is very perfect and very attractive. The only prerequisite is that it can acquire the shares of Standard Chartered Bank held by Bao Peili and Qiu Deba. For Qiu Deba, Lin Feng has already sent

After receiving the letter of visit, the other party was also very happy to invite Lin Feng to Singapore. As for Bao Peili, she was too low-key and rarely met outsiders. Moreover, she was a widowed woman, so Lin Feng really had no good way to get in touch with her. Fortunately,

Her daughter loves Avril Lavigne!

"Abby, then act according to your plan. You contact Qiu Deba first, and at the same time you prepare the relevant matters for the acquisition. As long as they agree, we will acquire it at any time, and we must complete the acquisition before the outside world reacts!" Lin Feng

Make up your mind to say.

This acquisition, although the shares of Standard Chartered Bank were transferred from Chinese to Chinese, was extremely shocking to Standard Chartered Bank and the UK. Previously, Bao Yugang and Qiu Deba acquired Standard Chartered Bank.

When the British bank Lloyds Bank acquired Standard Chartered Bank, Pao Yugang and Qiu Deba saved Standard Chartered Bank. They never used their equity to interfere in the banking business. But after Lam Feng acquired it, who could

Guarantee that Lam Feng, the world's richest man, a young man who always has all kinds of novel ideas, will not interfere with banking business? The most important point is that when he acquired Standard Chartered Bank, Pao Yukang was a Hong Konger, and Qiu Deba

They are Singaporeans and are inextricably linked to the United Kingdom, while Lin Feng is Chinese! He comes from socialist China and is an authentic Chinese.

Will the UK allow such a long-established bank to be acquired by Lam Fung?

Therefore, Lam Feng must acquire ZD Bank with lightning speed. By then, when Lam Feng holds the controlling stake, it will be too late for the outside world to know. Although there will be difficulties from all walks of life, Lam Feng believes that with his current "

With the title of "Sir Commander of the Order of the British Empire" and the friendly relationship with Prince William, it should not be a big problem to dispel the pressure of public opinion in the UK.

After discussing the detailed matters with Abby Cohen, Lin Feng made an appointment with Avril Lavigne and went to the "Vineyard" in Shanghai. It was the first restaurant to attract foreigners. The price is not expensive and it is relatively civilian, far inferior to some five-star restaurants.

The hotel charges are high. The reason why Lin Feng came here is because Bao Peili and her daughter like to eat here. Lin Feng got the news that Bao Peili and her daughter happened to come here to eat today.

After putting on a little makeup to reduce the possibility of being recognized by diners, Lin Feng and Avril Lavigne arrived at the "Vineyard" on Xinle Road. After Li Rui and others inquired in advance, Lin Feng and Avril booked a private room, and they happened to be with Bao.

Li's next door.

"Lin, what on earth do you want me to do today?" Avril looked confused. She was resting at home when she received a hurried call from Lin Feng. She didn't say anything when she arrived, and the place she came to was relatively popular.

Considering Lin Feng's current global popularity, it is really easy to be recognized. What's more, she is also a global pop queen and has a large number of fans in Shanghai, an international metropolis. Avril really doesn't understand what Lin Feng is doing here.

Well!

"Haha, let's have a meal, the food here is quite good!" Lin Feng did not explain, and waved his hand to order the waiter to bring several special dishes here.

With confusion, Avril enjoyed the food in the "Vineyard". She had to admit that although the food here was cheap, it tasted really good. At least, it was much more authentic than the Chinese food Avril had eaten in Chinese restaurants in New York and Los Angeles.

At this moment, Li Rui gave Lin Feng a code. Bao Li and her daughter at the next table had finished their meal and were about to come out.

Lin Feng signaled and Li Rui opened the door.

"Avril, what do you think of this place?" Lin Feng suddenly said loudly.

"It tastes pretty good! It's quite authentic Chinese food!" Avril closed her eyes and thought about it, then said very seriously.

At this moment, there was a sudden scream, and a little girl about 14 years old rushed in and ran to Avril's side, her face full of excitement.

"Avril, are you Avril Lavigne?" The little girl looked at Avril excitedly and couldn't help herself.

Avril was stunned for a moment, then nodded helplessly. She originally wanted to have a quiet meal, but unexpectedly she was disturbed. But since she is her fan, she naturally can't ignore her fans, especially this is in Shanghai and Lin Feng is still around.

, she can’t even have the airs of a big star.

"Hello, I'm Avril Lavigne." Avril stretched out her hand to shake the little girl's hand in a friendly manner.

"Mom, come in quickly, guess who I saw, Avril, Avril, it's Avril!" The little girl held Avril's hand and shouted excitedly outside.

There was an accusation from outside the door.

"You kid, how many times have I told you not to yell? How inappropriate is it to yell in public?" A woman dressed as a middle-aged woman walked in.

Bao Peili! This person is Bao Peili, Lin Feng’s target for this trip!

When Bao Peili came in and saw Lin Feng, she was also stunned. After a few seconds, she nodded to Lin Feng. She had obviously recognized who Lin Feng was!

"I'm sorry, my daughter was too rude. I apologize for causing any inconvenience!" After Bao Peili bowed slightly, she took her daughter (Bao Xinyi) and walked out.

However, Bao Xinyi, who was looking excited at this moment, refused to move at all.

"Mom, I haven't asked Avril Lavigne to sign her autograph or take a photo with her yet!" Bao Xinyi struggled to say, but her mother was by her side and she had been scolded just now. Bao Xinyi was already more ladylike than before.

"You kid, don't you know you've disturbed others' dinner? I want to sign autographs next time! Let's go, it's time to go home!" Bao Peili refused, and pulled Bao Xinyi away.

When Lin Feng saw that Bao Xinyi was unwilling to give in, she was reluctantly pulled away by Bao Peili and quickly stood up.

"Madam, since your daughter likes Avril so much, why don't you wait a few minutes and let Avril sign her autograph and take a group photo?" Lin Feng said with a smile.

"Really? Can you really sign autographs and take photos?" Bao Xinyi quickly spoke before Bao Peili could speak.

Lin Feng smiled slightly and nodded.

"Mom, just wait for a while before going home. I go home so early every day, so why worry about being late today! It's not easy for people to meet their idols!" Bao Xinyi held Bao Peili's hand and begged.

Bao Peili frowned, looked at Lin Feng, and sighed deeply.

"Okay, but as soon as possible! I'm disturbing you, Mr. Lin! I'm disturbing you, Miss Avril." Bao Beili said apologetically.

Lin Feng was not surprised that Bao Peili recognized her identity. After all, she is the daughter of the "World Shipping King". Although she is now in "seclusion", she is not only the world's richest man, but also the world's richest man who came out of China.

, it would be too incredible to say that I don’t know him.

However, Lin Feng just didn't know if Bao Peili had already guessed the purpose of his visit. Judging from Bao Peili's insistence on leaving, he might have vaguely guessed that his trip was probably for her.

A few minutes later, Avril Lavigne had signed an autograph and taken a photo with Bao Xinyi.

"Okay, now you're satisfied, let's go!" Bao Peili pulled Bao Xinyi with a smile on her face and was about to leave.

"Mrs. Bao, please stay!" Lin Feng had no choice but to quickly dissuade her.

When Bao Peili heard this, she immediately stopped and sighed, secretly thinking that Lin Feng was indeed coming towards her. Although the environment of this "vineyard" is relatively elegant and unique, it is not a high-end place, and the food is not enough.

It's special. It's a bit baffling that Lin Feng, the world's richest man, actually comes here. This is a public place, and Lin Feng also brings the world's pop queen Avril Lavigne. It would be troublesome if someone recognizes her and happens to be sitting next to her in the box, and she happens to be in the same room.

When going out, his daughter Bao Xinyi saw Avril Lavigne. And Lin Feng was able to call out his name accurately in the end. There were too many coincidences. The only way to explain it was that Lin Feng rushed to her.

Come.
