The first thousand one hundred and eighty-eight chapters accident on the Han River
Chapter 1,188 Accident on the Bank of Han River
…
Originally, Liu Dong thought that even if Cui Dongchen did not have 50 to 60 billion U.S. dollars in funds, he would definitely have more than 40 billion U.S. dollars. But now it seems that the situation is different from what he expected. Moreover, Liu Dong's observation and subsequent investigation
The evidence collected proved that Cui Dongchen did not lie.
This is not good for Liu Dong.
Although US$22 billion is still a huge amount of money that is unimaginable to ordinary people, this huge amount of money is not enough to allow Liu Dong to survive the next crisis safely.
Moreover, he himself knows how big the stock price bubble of Standard Chartered Bank he has created is. If Liu Dong is attacked again by someone with malicious intentions, Liu Dong will need a huge amount of funds if he wants to stabilize Standard Chartered's stock price and prevent a sharp decline from endangering the credibility of Standard Chartered Bank.
.
If there were 40 billion US dollars, Liu Dong would not worry at all about anyone playing tricks on him. But now he only has a little more than half of what he originally expected, so he feels unsure!
More importantly, there is now another Abbey National Bank.
Although rationality told Liu Dong that he should not plan such a huge acquisition of up to 9 billion pounds when the capital of Standard Chartered Bank was approaching the red line of the Basel Agreement. But he knew better what an opportunity it was to intervene in the British financial world.
It's rare.
Among the three major financial centers in the world, Liu Dong of Japan has not yet figured out how to get involved. In the United States, Liu Dong has already made a layout. Although Standard Chartered is not as good as Citigroup and ********* in the United States, it is still ranked
The top ten major banks are only in the UK. Even after acquiring Standard Chartered, the main branches of Standard Chartered are all in the Far East, and there are less than 50 branches in the UK. This has always been a pity for Liu Dong.
Now, if the merger with Abbey National Bank is successful, then Standard Chartered Bank will be able to gain a foothold in London, the world's second largest financial center.
Moreover, he can also gain a super bank that can rank among the top in the world.
The existence of this kind of bank has brought him unimaginable economic rights. Just like Sally Krawcheck said to him, once successful, Liu Dong will truly become a real guest of the heads of governments of various countries.
Even if he has no status in Chinese politics, his influence in the economic world will be comparable to that of the Communist Party leaders. This is the power Liu Dong has always longed for!
At that time, he will truly have the strength to stand at the top of the pyramid alone and no longer need to rely on anyone.
Of course, before that, he also needs to go through a series of challenges.
Thinking of the challenge, Liu Dong, who had just been somewhat satisfied with the acquisition of Daewoo Group, was full of motivation to move forward again.
“Looks like we have to find a way to raise some more funds!”
Liu Dong touched his chin and said thoughtfully on his face.
Raising tens of billions of dollars in funds without stealing or robbing or causing serious social concern is not an easy task even for Liu Dong, who owns the relic Yuan Guang and the Mustard Seed Dimension.
No, it should be said that it is very difficult to do.
