Rebirth Starts From 2006

Huang Shan and Qin Yu did not live in the nearby Four Seasons Hotel, but in the small home of Chen Yang and Zou Rong in Beijin.

The two guest rooms there have become their permanent residence in Beijin. Whenever they come to Beijin, they stay there. On the contrary, they rarely go to Maiyuan, which is specially designed for entertaining.

Hengli Real Estate has arranged special personnel here to clean and care for you every day. You can check in at any time no matter how long it takes.

Silent all the way, the two cars drove to Yuer Hutong.

At this time, the two women were no longer sleepy and followed the boss directly to the study room to talk about business.

While blowing the air conditioner, Chen Yang took a sip of hot tea. After listening to the two people's stories, he said with a strange face,

"So, the goal now is to annex Santander again?"

If he remembered correctly, Qin Yu wanted to retaliate against Madoff's scheme at the beginning, and attacked several of his big clients, hoping to drain Madoff's salary from under the cauldron.

How did it evolve into what it is now? !

Huang Shan leaned back in her chair, pressed her aching head, nodded and said, "That's what happened. Originally we just wanted to attack Santander Bank, and it would be best to get their director seats.

After Xiaoyu contacted Shirley, Shirley collected detailed information.

Through data analysis, she discovered that Santander Bank is not impeccable. As long as we operate it properly, we can have the opportunity to sit on the board of directors, and not just be limited to one director seat.

In addition, the analysis of Lehman Brothers that we gave to Shirley also gave Shirley a further plan.

If the bankruptcy of Lehman Brothers is inevitable, then there will definitely be no place for Fuld, the current chairman and CEO.

Perhaps for European and American financial companies, Fuld is a scourge that cannot be avoided, but for us, it is a completely different result.

They avoid Fuld because they are worried that accepting him will arouse widespread dissatisfaction among investors. Otherwise, with Fuld’s talents and connections, they will not be unable to find a new home.

But we are different, we have no investors at all!

Therefore, even after the acquisition of Fuld Bank is completed, as long as Fuld is not pushed to the position of CEO, it will not cause too much trouble.

On the contrary, Fuld's experience in the US financial industry and his extensive interpersonal relationships ranging from the Federal Reserve to investors can bring us great benefits. "

While Huang Shan was breathing heavily, Qin Yu took over the topic and said,

"What Shirley means is that two things are combined into one. First, recruit Fuld. Fuld has very rich experience in bank mergers and acquisitions. If he leads this matter, our success rate will be at least It can be increased by 20%.

Secondly, Lehman's bankruptcy is a foregone conclusion, and Lehman is the target of the giants, so we cannot get a share of the pie.

However, we don’t have a share in the tangible assets, but in the eyes of the giants, we can get some intangible assets.

The core of this intangible asset is Fuld!

The personal relationships that Lehman Corporation has maintained for more than a hundred years will naturally disappear after their collapse. However, if a not weak company can take over, for the sake of profit, the problem of inheriting this relationship will basically be solved. Not big!

And it just so happens that Rainbow Group, a new first-class financial company, has this strength.

Two things combined into one, so after we heard Shirley’s suggestion, we rushed to the United States without stopping.

I first communicated with Fuld on the phone, and then reached a preliminary agreement with him at an elite banquet last night.

Moreover, Sister Shan and I also formulated a preliminary implementation plan. "

After finishing the phone call, Qin Yu grabbed his cup and drank some water.

Zou Rong was lying on the side, listening with interest, and picked up the kettle and filled it up for her.

Qin Yu smiled at her, took the opportunity to wipe some oil, pinched her pink cheeks, and then quickly said before the boss lady got angry,

“Our suggestion is to reorganize Caihong Group. The headquarters will be reorganized into Caihong Holdings. The share ratio will remain unchanged. The difference lies in the US branch.

The acquisition entity of Santander Bank was changed to American Rainbow Financial Group,"

He glanced at Huang Shan and said, "Even after completing the acquisition, Santander Bank and the American Rainbow Group were merged and reorganized into Rainbow International Bank!"

The correct name of Santander is Banco Internacional de España. If after being acquired by Rainbow, it is named after Rainbow and retains some of the original elements, it would not be a bad name.

Chen Yang scratched the back of his head, held his head high and thought as he said, "The headquarters will be changed to Rainbow Holdings, the shares will remain unchanged, and then the American company will be reorganized?"

While he was still sorting out the relationship, Zou Rong gave the answer next to him, "From the perspective of corporate mergers and acquisitions, this approach is the most appropriate. It does not require changes to the original shares, but it can expand the company's scale. ,

In other words, you still have so much money, but you have more assets at your disposal! "

Qin Yu and Huang Shan nodded together, "Yes, that's it!"

Chen Yang touched his head and glanced at the three of them calmly, "Of course I know this. I was just thinking that the Rainbow Fund and Rainbow Valley Capital were merged into Rainbow Group a few days ago, and now they are going to be changed to Rainbow Holdings. Is it too much trouble?

Besides, even if you don’t change it, it shouldn’t matter, right? ! "

Huang Shan waved her hand and said, "We won't decide whether to change it or not. The question now is, do you agree with this plan?"

Chen Yang shrugged and spread his hands, "You have considered all aspects, including the post-merger European strategy. Why should I disagree?!"

Qin Yu and Huang Shan looked at each other and high-fived.

Chen Yang's mouth twitched slightly, he raised his hands and pressed them gently, and said helplessly,

"Acquisitions are easy to say. Rainbow Fund's stock and futures short orders in the first half of the year were enough to turn our capital from the current US$100 billion to US$150 billion or even more.

Coupled with the help of Shirley and Fuld, as well as your detailed implementation plan, the probability of success is very high.

But the question is, after the acquisition is completed, who will be the chairman and CEO of Rainbow International Bank in your plan? ! "

This is not about investing in a company and throwing money at it.

After acquiring a company, responsibility for management is the most basic requirement. Unless you are determined to put the company to death, otherwise, without a complete follow-up plan, it is better not to acquire it!

Upon hearing this, Qin Yu and Huang Shan's faces fell down.

Holding his face in his hands and lying on the table, Qin Yu said feebly, "This is the only imperfection in our plan. The person at the helm of the new bank still has not been found!"

After the words fell, the study was silent.

Among the four people in the study now, including Zou Rong, none of them is an absolute layman.

Acquisition is not easy, and reorganization and management after the acquisition is even more difficult.

Santander is a long-established bank in Europe. It often ranks at the top of international bank rankings, and even ranks first in some aspects. Its strength is absolutely nothing to say.

The original Rainbow Fund was relatively simple, it just had money.

However, after acquiring five medium-sized financial companies, the current American Rainbow Financial Group is not ordinary. It is also a comprehensive financial institution with business throughout the United States, including commercial banks, securities companies, investment banks, asset management and other services.

It's scary to think about the merger of two companies without a strong helmsman!

There were three people lying on the desk, and only Boss Chen was slowly making and drinking tea.

It's already two o'clock in the afternoon. If they hadn't eaten something while going to Wang Tao's place just now, Chen Yang and Zou Rong would have gone crazy with hunger.

Thinking of this, Chen Yang raised his head and looked at the two of them, "In this way, we have the best time to eat in this world. Let Lao Qiao go out and buy you something to eat first. If anything happens, we will talk about it later."

"Can't eat it,"

Qin Yu's head continued to droop, and he had already placed it on the table. He felt that the mahogany table was a little hard, so he used two hands to prop it up, his face full of dejection.

Huang Shan is not much better, her posture is exactly the same as that of her best friend,

They had been thinking about this problem all night, but there was still no good candidate.

Let alone the helm of such a large bank, even the executives of an ordinary company will take at least several months or even longer to identify and hand over.

Now the acquisition war is about to start, but I don’t have a suitable candidate on my side. Isn’t this a joke?

After looking at the two of them, Chen Yang smiled and shook his head. He picked up the phone and called Qiao Guanghui and asked him to buy some meals.

As a result, everyone has already bought it and arrived at their doorstep.

It turns out that besides these two, the two bodyguards haven’t eaten yet.

When others brought the food in, Chen Yang helped them open it and put it on the table. Each person gave them a pair of chopsticks and said with a smile,

"This matter is not completely out of the question. I have two solutions here. Take a look at them together."

The two women looked at each other and both looked at him, "What's the plan?"

Chen Yang smiled and pointed at the food, "Talking while eating."

After the two got started, Chen Yang smiled and said, "First of all, we will directly retain Santander's management team."

When Qin Yu and Huang Shan heard this, they immediately shook their heads without hesitation.

After swallowing the food in her mouth, Huang Shan said seriously, "If it was a simple acquisition, this might not be a bad idea, but this is a merger!

Don’t think that we are infallible just because we have absolute control. Do you know how the Morgan family was kicked out of their own bank?

It’s because they didn’t grasp the management rights!

As long as there is the right opportunity, operating rights are even more effective than controlling rights. At least they can break up the bank and wipe out all our achievements.

Even if we hold absolute controlling rights but lose the management rights, we are only giving money to our opponents.

This method will never work! "

Qin Yu nodded repeatedly with his mouth full of food.

Even Zou Rong shook his head, "From a legal perspective, absolute controlling rights can indeed fully control the company, and can also appoint and remove the board of directors and management.

But when the management controls the middle and lower managers of the entire company, unless you can replace all the people in the company, they can compete head-on with the controlling owner.

At that time, any conflict would be harmful to the company, so the best way is to avoid this situation from the beginning! "

Chen Yang raised his hand, pressed it down gently, and said with a smile, "Of course I know this. What I say is just a helpless move. There is no other way. Since you don't agree, just treat it as I didn’t say it, so I’ll talk about the second one.”

As he knocked on the table, the smile on his face faded, and he said seriously, "On the surface, what we need is the helmsman of a multinational bank, but I don't think that is the case!"

Qin Yu and Huang Shan looked at each other, frowned and looked at him, "What should I say?"

Chen Yang looked at the two men squarely and said, "The head of a multinational bank needs to know the industry very well, such as Fuld or Paulson of Goldman Sachs, right?"

The two women nodded together,

Huang Shan took a sip of tea and said, "This is also the most difficult part for us to hurry up. Such high-level financial elites are basically trained by major banks themselves, and they cannot be poached by us.

And second-level talents may not be able to control such a large international bank, so it is difficult! "

Chen Yang nodded, looked at her and said, "I understand what you mean, but I think we can change the necessary qualities of this candidate. He does not need to be a banker, but only needs to be a financial expert." It’s enough to have management talents who have a certain understanding of the industry!”

Qin Yu was a little confused and frowned at him, "What do you mean?"

At this time, Huang Shan said thoughtfully, "I think I kind of understand what the boss means."

Qin Yu immediately turned to look at her, "What do you mean?"

Huang Shan put down her chopsticks and said seriously, "Once the acquisition is successful, we will have absolute controlling rights in the new Rainbow International Bank, which will give us a natural advantage.

So, what we have to do is not to run this already mature bank well, but to keep an eye on it at all times to prevent it from falling out of our control.

That’s why the boss said, we don’t necessarily want a banker, but just a management talent who knows something about finance.

As for real management, on the one hand, we can continue to use the original personnel of Santander Bank, as well as the people who came over with the acquisition of the American Rainbow Group, we can all use them.

On the other hand, we also have two very important talents! "

At this time, Qin Yu also understood. As Huang Shan finished speaking, he blurted out, "Ford and Shirley!"

"That's right!"

Huang Shan snapped her fingers and said, "Ford has rich management experience. He was originally the helmsman of Lehman Brothers. If Lehman hadn't been in trouble, there would have been no problem for him to serve as the chairman of Santander Bank. question,

So with him as a consultant, the chairman basically has nothing to do.

In addition, Shirley has a unique talent in information. With Shirley's help, the chairman can also have a thorough knowledge of the entire bank.

In this way, Shirley discovers and collects problems, and Fuld provides solutions. This chairman is really just a mascot. As long as he is not a complete layman, anyone can do it! "

Seeing that both women agreed with his proposal, Chen Yang smiled, spread his hands and said,

"So, who's the best choice for this mascot?!"
