Chapter 551： The best candidate

Huang Shan and Qin Yu don't live in the Four Seasons Hotel, which is close by, but Chen Yang and Zou Rong's nest in Beijin.

The two guest rooms there have become their permanent residences in Beijin. Every time they come to Beijin, they will live there. On the contrary, they seldom go to Maiyuan, which is only for entertainment.

Here, Hengli Property Management has arranged special personnel to come to clean and take care of it every day. No matter how long it takes, you can move in at any time.

All the way without talking, the two cars drove to Yu'er Hutong,

At this time, the two girls were no longer sleepy, and followed the boss directly to the study to discuss business.

Blowing on the air-conditioning, Chen Yang took a sip of hot tea, and after listening to the narration of the two, he said with a strange face,

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

If he remembers correctly, Qin Yu wanted to take revenge on Madoff's schemes at the beginning, attacking several of his big clients, and wanted to give Madoff a way to draw salary from the bottom.

How did it evolve into what it is now? !

Huang Shan leaned on the back of the chair, pressed her aching head, nodded and said, "That's the way it is, originally we just wanted to attack Santander Bank, and it would be best if we could get their board seat.

After Xiaoyu contacted Xueli, Xueli did a detailed data collection,

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

In addition, the analysis we gave Shirley about Lehman Brothers gave Shirley further plans,

If the bankruptcy of Lehman Brothers is inevitable, then the current chairman and CEO Fuld must not have a place for him.

Perhaps for European and American financial companies, Fuld is an unavoidable disaster, but for us, it is a completely different result.

They avoided Fuld because they were worried that after accepting him, they would arouse widespread dissatisfaction among investors. Otherwise, with Fuld's talent and connections, they wouldn't even be able to find a new home.

And 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 U.S. financial industry and his extensive interpersonal relationships from the Federal Reserve to investors can bring us great benefits. "

Taking advantage of Huang Shan's panting, Qin Yu took over the topic and said,

"What Shirley means is two things 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 Can increase by 20%,

Secondly, Lehman's bankruptcy is a foregone conclusion, and Lehman is the meat of the giants, we can't get a piece of it,

However, we don't have a share in tangible assets, but in the eyes of giants, we can make a profit if there are intangible assets that are equal to none.

And the core of this intangible asset is Fuld!

The personal connections that Lehman has operated for more than a hundred years will naturally dissipate after they fall, but if a company that is not weak can take over, for the sake of profit, the problem of inheriting this relationship is basically not big!

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

The two are combined into one, so after we heard Shirley's suggestion, we rushed to the United States non-stop,

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 drew up a preliminary implementation plan. "

After a long conversation, Qin Yu grabbed his own cup and drank his saliva.

Zou Rong lay on the side, listening to it with gusto, picked up the water bottle and filled it up for her.

Qin Yu smiled at her, took the opportunity to wipe off his oil, pinched his pink cheeks, and before the proprietress got mad, he said quickly,

"Our suggestion is to reorganize the Rainbow Group, the headquarters will be reorganized into Rainbow Holdings, the shareholding ratio will remain the same, the difference is in the US branch,

The main body of the acquisition of Santander Bank was changed to Rainbow Financial Group of the United States,"

As he spoke, he glanced at Huang Shan, "Even, after the completion of the acquisition, Santander Bank will be merged with the American Rainbow Group and reorganized into Rainbow International Bank!"

The correct name of Banco Santander is Spanish International Bank. If it is acquired by Rainbow, it will be named Rainbow and retain some of the original elements. It would be good to change to this name.

Chen Yang scratched the back of his head, raised his head and thought while saying, "Change the headquarters to Rainbow Holdings, keep the shares unchanged, and then reorganize the American company?"

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

In other words, you still have so much money, but you can control more assets! "

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

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

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

Huang Shan shook her hand and said, "I'll talk about 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, even the merged European strategy, what do I disagree with?!"

Qin Yu and Huang Shan looked at each other and gave a high five.

The corners of Chen Yang's mouth twitched slightly, he raised his hands and pressed it lightly, and said helplessly,

"It's easy to say that the stock and futures empty orders of the Rainbow Fund in the first half of the year are enough to make our capital from the current 100 billion US dollars to 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 you plan to do? ! "

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

After acquiring a company, it is the most basic requirement to be responsible for the management. Unless it is determined to put the company to death, otherwise, if there is no follow-up complete plan, it is better not to accept it!

Hearing this, Qin Yu and Huang Shan's faces collapsed.

Putting his hands on his face and lying on the table, Qin Yu said weakly, "This is the only imperfection in our plan. The helm of the new bank is still not found!"

The voice fell, and there was silence in the study.

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

Acquisition is not easy, and post-acquisition restructuring and management are even more difficult.

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

The original rainbow fund is relatively simple, that is, it only has money.

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

Such a merger of two companies without a strong helm is scary to think about!

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

It's already two o'clock in the afternoon. If it wasn't for the time I went to Wang Tao's side to eat something by the way, Chen Yang and Zou Rong would probably be crazy hungry.

Thinking of this, Chen Yang raised his head and looked at the two of them, "In this way, eating is the biggest thing in the world. Let Lao Qiao go out and buy something for you to eat, and we will talk about it later if there is anything to do."

"Can't eat it,"

Qin Yu's head continued to droop, and it had already been placed on the table. Feeling that the mahogany table was a bit hard, he used his two hands to support it, with a dejected face,

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

They have been thinking about this question all night, but there is still no good candidate.

Not to mention the helm of such a large bank, it will take at least a few months or even longer to find and hand over the executives of an ordinary company.

Right now, the acquisition battle is about to start, but there is no suitable candidate on my side, isn't this a joke!

Looking at the two of them, Chen Yang smiled and shook his head, picked up the phone and called Qiao Guanghui, asking him to buy some meals and come back.

As a result, people have already bought it to the door.

It turned out that apart from these two, the two bodyguards hadn't eaten yet.

When someone brought the food in, Chen Yang opened it for them and arranged it, each of them gave a pair of chopsticks, and said with a smile,

"It's not completely wrong with this matter. I have two solutions here. You can take a look at them together."

The two women looked at each other, and they both looked at him, "What plan?"

Chen Yang smiled and pointed to the food, "Talk while eating."

After the two started, Chen Yang said with a smile, "First of all, it is to directly retain Santander's management team."

Qin Yu and Huang Shan immediately shook their heads together without hesitation when they heard the words.

Swallowing the food in her mouth, Huang Shan said seriously, "If it's a simple acquisition, it might be a way to do it, but it's a merger!

Don't think that we are safe because we can occupy an absolute controlling stake. Do you know how the Morgan family was kicked out of their own bank?

It's because they didn't grasp the management right!

Given the right opportunity, management is even better than controlling, at least they can break up the bank and wipe out all our achievements,

Even if we hold the absolute controlling stake, but lose the right to operate, we are only giving money to our opponents,

This method will never work! "

With a mouthful of food in his mouth, Qin Yu nodded again and again,

Even Zou Rong shook her head aside, "From a legal point of view, an absolute controlling stake can indeed completely control the company, and can also appoint and dismiss the board of directors and management.

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

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

Chen Yang raised his hand, pressed it down lightly, and said with a smile, "Of course I know this, and what I said is just a helpless act. I didn't say it, so I'll talk about the second one."

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

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

Chen Yang looked at the two of them squarely, and said, "The helm of a multinational bank needs to have a good understanding of this industry, such as Fuld, or Paulson of Goldman Sachs, right?"

The two girls nodded together,

Huang Shan took a sip of tea and said, "This is also the most difficult part for us to hurry up. Such senior financial elites are basically cultivated by the big 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 very 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 doesn't need to be a banker, but only needs to be a financial expert. Management talents with a certain understanding of the industry are enough!"

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

At this time, Huang Shan said thoughtfully, "I think I 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 solemnly, "Once the acquisition is successful, we will have an absolute controlling stake in the new Rainbow International Bank, which will occupy a natural advantage.

So, what we have to do is not to manage this already mature bank well, but to keep an eye on it all the time so as not to let this bank get out of our control.

That's why the boss said, we don't necessarily want a banker, but just a management talent who understands finance.

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

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

At this time, Qin Yu also understood, and after Huang Shan's voice fell, he blurted out immediately, "Fuld and Shirley!"

"That's right!"

Huang Shan snapped her fingers and said, "Fuld has rich management experience. He was originally the helm of Lehman Brothers. If it wasn't for Lehman's accident, it wouldn't make any sense for him to be the chairman of Santander Bank." question,

So with him as a staff officer, basically there is no such thing as the chairman,

In addition, Xueli has a unique talent in information. With Xueli's help, the chairman can also know the entire bank well.

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

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

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