Chapter 270 Anhua Gao
Because Yulia suffers from congenital heart disease, Barron specially arranged for her to have an examination at the Elizabeth Hospital in Lijiapo, and today he specially received a doctor to inquire about the situation.
Of course, this is the reason why he has relevant doctors here at this time. In fact, Barron originally knew that when the original time and space had lunch today and approached the afternoon, Qiu Deba would suffer from heart disease. The illness suddenly occurred and he died due to lack of treatment, so he made such an arrangement and specially made an appointment with the other party this year.
So after Qiu Deba became ill, Barron not only performed first aid measures for him as the doctor said, but also called the doctor over as soon as possible. After some urgent treatment, he was successfully Sent him to the hospital.
"Your Highness, Duke, thank you very much."
Later, several of Qiu Deba's children came to Barron's presidential suite at the Goodwood Park Hotel to express their gratitude to him.
It can be said that their gratitude at this time is all from the heart, because according to the doctor at Elizabeth Hospital at the time, because Qiu Deba was old and in poor health, yesterday's situation It is very dangerous. If emergency treatment had not been carried out on the spot and sent to the hospital in time, the consequences would have been disastrous.
Even if he is sent to the hospital under normal circumstances, he may not be able to save his life.
Therefore, in their opinion, it was the young Duke in front of them who happened to have a professional doctor in the hotel and performed emergency first aid treatment, which was able to save their father from danger. It was not even a life-saving grace. Too much.
"This is what it should be. Mr. Qiu is a good person. I wonder what his current situation is like?"
After hearing Barron's question, Elizabeth Qiu said:
"Our father is now out of danger, but he still needs to be hospitalized for rest. My father once said that he hopes to be able to do it in person when his body recovers. Thank you.”
“No need, it will not help myself. I am also very happy, especially that Mr. Qiu is out of danger."
...
"We have basically reached an agreement with Agilent, and they have accepted our acquisition of their semiconductor department for US$2 billion. quotation, this transaction will be completed in the near future”
Compared with 2005, Agilent's operating performance last year was not good, so this time they acquired its semiconductor division at a slightly lower price, which made Barron very satisfied.
Barron still stayed in Lijiapo, and met here Chen Fuyang, who had completed the acquisition negotiations with Agilent. The reason why the other party came here was because he hoped to set up the new company's headquarters in Lijiapo after the acquisition. Lijiapo.
Agilent, which was originally spun off from Hewlett-Packard, was headquartered in California, the United States. However, Chen Fuyang believes that there will be many benefits to locating the new company's headquarters in Lijiapo. First of all, Lijiapo's tax burden is compared to that of the United States. Lower, the comprehensive tax rate is around 10%, which is conducive to the market competitiveness of new companies in the future.
In addition, if the headquarters is located in Lijiapo, it can also enjoy many preferential policies of Lijiapo for this kind of semiconductor companies.
After thinking about this, Barron agreed.
In the name of the new company, they still use Avago Technologies, which is the name of Avago Technologies.
The reason why Barron has some doubts about Chen Fuyang’s proposal is that although there are many advantages in placing Anhuagao’s headquarters in Lijiapo, in his previous life, Anhuagao was later When it acquired Broadcom, a well-known chip manufacturer in the United States, because its headquarters was located in Lijiapo, although Avago originally originated from HP, it was still regarded as a Lijiapo company. The transaction received a lot of scrutiny from the United States and did not go smoothly. .
But Barron thought that since in the original time and space, Avago could still develop after moving its headquarters to Lijiapo, and after IPO in the United States, it could also acquire Shetunxiang. Broadong, then, should believe in Chen Fuyang's personal abilities, so he finally agreed to such a proposal.
In Avago’s semiconductor business, the Asian market will be a market that will grow extremely rapidly in the future, especially for the Chinese market. Avago’s subsidiaries include communications, industry, automobiles, consumer electronics and storage. Chip-related businesses in computer and other fields will be the main focus for future performance growth. Setting the headquarters in Lijiapo will also allow us to get closer to this market.
..."After this incident, I have looked away from many things. After this, I am also ready to retire completely, and the shares of Standard Chartered Bank will not be in my hands. It is of great significance and I am willing to sell it to you, hoping that you will not let Standard Chartered Bank’s business change in the future.”
After his health improved slightly, Barron went to the hospital to visit Qiu Deba again. During this meeting, the other party finally agreed to transfer 13.5% of his Standard Chartered Bank shares to Barron.
Among them, Barron can be said to have saved his life in time, which was also the main reason.
However, at the beginning, the reason why Standard Chartered Bank was helped to resist the acquisition of Lloyds Bank was because as old customers of Standard Chartered Bank, many people including Qiu Deba did not want to do so because of that. This acquisition has shifted Standard Chartered Bank's strategic defense focus on emerging markets to European markets including the UK.
Now after agreeing to sell the shares, Qiu Deba has not forgotten this instruction.
"Don't worry, Mr. Qiu, even if I take control of Standard Chartered Bank in the future, their current business in emerging markets in Asia, Africa and Latin America will not only not decrease, but will further develop."
So in time Entering March, an explosive news came out -
Mr. Qiu Deba, the richest man in Lijiapo, sold 13.5% of the Standard Chartered Bank shares held by his family to DS Capital is controlled by the British Duke Barron Cavendish.
According to the information disclosed by DS Capital, after adding the shares of Standard Chartered Bank that they just acquired from the Qiu Teck Puat family, their stake in this bank at this time has exceeded 30 %!
This also includes some of the circulating shares continued to be purchased from the London Stock Exchange and the HK Stock Exchange during this process.
At the same time, DS Capital also began to formally contact the management of Standard Chartered Bank at this time, and proposed to them the idea of acquiring this bank with great influence in emerging markets.
Affected by this news, the share price of Standard Chartered Bank has increased by 20% from the previous price of about US$5.85 to the current price of more than US$7.
Calculated at this price, the total market value of Standard Chartered Bank at this time has reached 7.9 billion US dollars!
Because Standard Chartered Bank is one of the note-issuing banks of HK, after DS Capital made an acquisition offer of US$8 billion to Standard Chartered Bank, HK Bank also issued a statement stating that it would Review this acquisition.
This is the advantage of Barron's DS Capital in acquiring Standard Chartered Bank over the former Li Jiapo's Temasek Investment Company.
In addition to the fact that Standard Chartered Bank originally belonged to the Bank of England and was headquartered in London, DS Capital's acquisition of Standard Chartered Bank will not be subject to too much review from the British side.
As one of the three major note-issuing banks in HK, related to this, HK's laws also have targeted regulations.
The three major note-issuing banks in Hong Kong do not allow foreign entities or entities mainly controlled by foreign countries to hold more than 20% of their shares. If this rule is violated, the bank will automatically lose its shares. Qualification of HK note-issuing bank.
Because Temasek Investment Company is a state-owned investment company owned by Li Jiapo, it is a "foreign controlled entity".
In the original time and space, Temasek's stake in Standard Chartered Bank once reached 19.03%, a red line close to 20%, but it has not continued to increase its holdings. It is for this reason.
Although DS Capital is a foreign capital, it is not a "foreign government-controlled entity" but a private company. Therefore, it is not subject to this restriction in terms of increasing its stake in Standard Chartered Bank.
Therefore, Barron is not too worried about HK’s review.
