Reborn Capital Madman

Crisis sometimes does coexist with danger and opportunity. For example, this Black Monday global stock market crash gave successful people who made great profits from the international exchange rate fluctuations, released energy and bought stocks at the bottom.

Take the Gaoyi Group's bottom-line bank stocks as an example. In the New York stock market, the stock price of Bank of America fell below $8. Previously, Gaoyi, who sold Bank of America's stocks because Sanford Will failed to compete for the CEO of Bank of America.

One series, just kills a fight, and you will make a profit if you just go out and go!

Bank of America's stock price plummeted under the impact of the global stock market crash on Black Monday, which is a reaction that it has not completely escaped its operating difficulties in recent years.

But compared with the operating difficulties, the British banking industry, which is also deeply affected by the investment failure in Latin America, performed worse. The top four British banks such as Royal Bank of Scotland, Barclays, Lloyds, and Mitland Bank

The settlement banks are worse than the other.

Another impact worth mentioning is that last year, in order to maintain the position of London's global financial center, which exposed its disadvantages, the British banking industry, which began to have fun, became a bit rash.

The so-called "leakage" of the British financial industry will definitely not only allow foreign capital to acquire local financial institutions, but also include freedom in mechanisms.

To give a random example, in 1929, Wall Street's stock market crash and the Great Depression, most developed capitalist economies have established a "firewall" between commercial banks, investment banks and insurance industries.

For example, Morgan Stanley was founded by investment bankers who left JP Morgan due to this policy change. In order to facilitate market activities in the United States, Gao Xian created a Gao Yi United States in addition to Gao Yi.

However, in the past decade, the signs of policies and countermeasures have become increasingly obvious. Commercial banks can actually detour deeper into securities business, and the "firewall" of the insurance industry has almost been removed.

In the 1980s, various acquisitions and mergers emerged one after another, junk bonds were popular, the stock market was booming, institutions became the protagonists of the market... You can often see the shadow of funds provided by commercial banks and insurance companies.

Therefore, it is not difficult to imagine that when the UK's financial industry is relaxed, and when foreign capital pours into large-scale acquisitions, the UK's banking industry can also openly expand its originally banned investment banking business, and the result is a common phenomenon of overturning.

For example, the National Westminster Bank, which currently has a status of slightly lower than that of the four major settlement banks, has become the most typical example of a mess!

To put it simply, National Westminster Bank was involved in securities trading fraud cases of Blue Arrow, the leader in the UK's human resources industry.

In June this year, Blue Arrow Company made a big move involving a 1.3 billion pound of funds acquisition, and 87.3 billion pounds of which were raised by issuing new shares. The issuance of new shares was not smooth, and National Westminster

The bank's investment banking sector intentionally concealed this fact.

The sensation in Blue Arrow's securities transaction fraud case is no less than the Guinness scandal. Think about how negative the Morgan Jianfu has suffered!

A large group of senior executives headed by the chairman of the board of directors of the National Westminster Bank have lost their position, but the situation is overwhelming and suffered another severe impact in the global stock market crash on Black Monday.

But no matter what, the huge assets of National Westminster Bank are there, which does not affect Gao Yi's motivation to buy his stocks at all. As a result, Gao Yi didn't pay attention, more than five percent, and he had to raise his bid. It has helped the National Westminster Bank, which is currently in a huge scandal, more or less restored some market confidence.

Gao Yi did not let go of Mitland Bank, which is currently at the bottom of the four major settlement banks in the UK, but it was obviously not as sensational as Huifeng, who came from behind!

Because Huifeng spent 383 million pounds in one breath and purchased 14.9% of the shares of Mitland Bank at a premium, which was generous.

Of course, Huifeng must have sufficient reasons for doing this, such as it requires two board seats on the Mitland Bank board, which will lay the foundation for Huifeng's "triangle bench" business internationalization strategy for the European site.

After receiving the information, Gao Xian was immediately excited and said to himself, I'm waiting for Huifeng to take this step.

In fact, since Chen Bi, the senior member of Huifeng, began to promote the internationalization strategy of the "triangle bench" business, Huifeng has put in considerable effort. For example, for European strongholds, it has studied the feasibility of acquisitions of no less than 30 European banks. , but they all ended in vain because the other party asked for a lot of prices or the business foundation was narrow.

The acquisition price is too high and you will understand it as soon as you hear it, but what does it mean to be narrow in business foundation?

If you look briefly at Huifeng's history, you will understand that when it was in old China, it was the financial overlord, handling the salt tax and tariffs of the old China; after the focus of its business was withdrawn to Xiangjiang, it became the quasi-central bank of Xiangjiang and the overlord of the banking industry.

To put it bluntly, Huifeng has always eaten the best meat and drank the freshest soup. Its acquisition targets for commercial banks of the level of National Westminster Bank are very ugly, and they must be commonly known as the "Four Major Banks". "Commercial bank of that level.

There is another mentality that is not difficult to guess, which has increased the difficulty of Huifeng finding a satisfactory base in Europe. That is, in the internationalization strategy of the "triangle bench" business, it is different from the American base, as the leader of the British Far East interest group. Huifeng naturally wanted to put the European stronghold in the UK as its new headquarters.

In addition, some mechanisms accompanied by the quasi-central bank in Xiangjiang are also slowing down Huifeng's pace.

When trying to compete with Standard Chartered Bank and Lloyds Bank for the acquisition of Royal Bank of Scotland, the responsibility of the last lender in the banking industry in the UK had a great concern.

After the last lender of the Xiangjiang banking industry was thrown to the Xiangjiang Foreign Exchange Fund, Huifeng Regulations became the next obvious stumbling block. The company law does not follow the usual company law. The shareholding ratio alone cannot exceed one percent, so it will be allowed to be It is difficult for shareholders of the acquisition target to accept it.

Even if Huifeng wants to give up Huifeng's Ordinance, it must follow Huifeng's Ordinance again and pass the Hong Kong Legislative Council. However, because of Gaoxian, many people in Xiangjiang are not fooling around.

So, until now, the global stock market crash on Black Monday created the best opportunity to buy stocks at the bottom, Huifeng finally locked in such a goal that Mitland Bank had such a satisfying goal, but this big move was still far from the acquisition. To be precise, it is the cooperation between the two parties, just like falling in love, make friends first, and when they get to know each other and their financial conditions are ripe, then buy a wedding house, hold a wedding, and get married officially!

Gao Xian said on the phone to Ma Yongxiang, who was responsible for acquiring bank stocks, and said with a smile that he could go back and get along.

So, an interesting scene appeared. Gao Yi quickly gathered some Mitland stocks from Deutsche Bank, Morgan Jianfu and other contacts. After calculating, he held up the sign and ran to Mitland, which was in a state of confusion.

In front of Huifeng, I said bluntly, just add me one, about 8% of the stocks are enough to have a seat on the board of directors!

Regarding this, not to mention Huifeng was shocked and angry, Mitland was so beautiful that it was generally confused by the outside world. It was difficult to know if it didn’t raise the bid. Gao Yi bought stocks of several large banks...

Gao Yi can naturally give his reasonable motivation to reach a close cooperative relationship through investment bank stocks, especially in new banking business. Gao Yi has a lot of experience. For example, in June this year, the British banking industry launched the first one.
