Age of Dreams

"Citibank has already agreed to sell me 20% of the shares in the color grl for 4 billion US dollars." Xiao Qi didn't wait for him to think about it, and directly repeated what he said to Bobby: "I'll do the math for you It is 3.6 billion U.S. dollars, which is already enough friends.”

Schwartzman frowned.

In the next moment, he reacted faster than Bobby Li.

Good guy!

I really don't feel bad about selling other people's houses!

After Jabil came to power, the cleansing of the enemy was really ruthless!

Although his price is obviously a very irrational and abnormal price, it is an agreed price after all, and it is a real one.

Therefore, on the other hand, this price will indeed lower the price of choker grl in the hands of the Blackstone Group.

It cost almost 7.2 billion U.S. dollars to buy it, but sold it at 50% of the price. This business is extremely inferior to the Blackstone Group.

But Schwarzman is not a person without vision and courage. It is impossible for choker grl to sell at the original price. The difference is only in the loss, and how much benefit you can get by relying on choker grl's share trading .

So, he immediately remembered the benefits of doing so.

The first is to get rid of the choking grl that is constantly losing money. The loss of tens of millions of dollars per month is indeed a big burden. Even if it can start to make profits in a year or two, the problem is that in the past two years Cultivate the market. It is not what the Blackstone Group can afford.

In the era of financial crisis, who doesn't dock their tails to survive?

The choker grl is now an inferior asset, after it is sold. Not only can you get rid of losses, but you can also get a lot of cash.

The second advantage is that if you sell the shares of chord grl to Xiao Qi, then Xiao Qi promises not to participate in the sale of shares in the Black Rock Group, which is a good thing for the merger of the two groups.

Even if the Blackstone Group gave Xiao Qi such a face, it might not be impossible to get a part of the mortgage from Xiao Qi.

Think here. Schwartzman immediately said to Xiao Qi: "Qi Shao, it's not impossible to sell you 15% of the shares of Chord GRL at a price of 3.6 billion US dollars. But I have three requests. I hope you can agree."

Xiao Qi was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect him to be so forthright, "Stephen, we are friends. I do business with you. Naturally, I want a happy result for everyone. Tell me. I will agree to whatever I can."

Swarzman nodded slightly, and said, "First point, we need cash for the price of 3.6 billion."

"Yes." Xiao Qi agreed without hesitation.

"Second point, you don't want to participate in the sale of shares in the Black Rock Group anymore." Schwartzman continued to chase after the victory.

"Yes." Xiao Qi didn't agree immediately this time, but pretended to think about it for a while before slowly expressing his decision.

Schwarzman was truly relieved. With this promise, he can explain to the partners below. As for the teacher and friend Peterson, there is no objection.

"Finally, I have one more request." Schwartzman relaxed a little, but his tone was very sincere and dignified: "If we want to borrow a sum of money from you, Qi Shao, I don't know how much we can borrow."

If you can let Schwarzman speak up and borrow money, it will not be one or two hundred million.

Xiao Qi pondered for a while, then asked: "You want to borrow money to buy the shares of Merrill Lynch?"

"Yes."

Schwarzman nodded without hesitation: "Originally, we planned to wait for Merrill Lynch to go bankrupt, and then we would buy the shares of the Black Rock Group together. It's rare that you intervene like this. Even if you step down, other people may come Fight for it. Instead of doing this, why don't we directly take over Qi Shao's class and buy it in advance, so that there will be fewer twists and turns and troubles."

Xiao Qi laughed heartily.

What are you talking about to avoid twists and turns and troubles? In fact, after being warned, you dare not take advantage of it anymore?

Merrill Lynch can go bankrupt, but not now, and it cannot lose too much. This is a tacit understanding of Wall Street.

What's more, the matter is so big now that the Blackstone Group and the Blackrock Group can only quell the anger of the giants on Wall Street and the anger of investors by directly spending money to acquire shares.

Due to various reasons, the Black Rock Group and the Black Rock Group are now gritting their teeth and crying, and have no choice but to acquire the shares of the Black Rock Group held by Merrill Lynch.

If it weren't for their urgent need for funds, the shares of choker grl would not have changed hands so easily.

Xiao Qi is naturally rich.

In addition to allocating 5 billion US dollars to Sun Zhenyi to suppress and acquire Fast Retailing Co., Ltd., excluding the 10 billion US dollars for the acquisition of Citigroup and Green Pine Capital, Xiao Qi still has more than 45 billion US dollars in cash, enough for him to complete 3 Second acquisition of 49.8% shares of Black Rock Group.

But the problem is, Xiao Qi has saved the money for so long, and has even withstood the strong pressure from Huaguo's financial management department. He has been refusing to exchange the tens of billions of dollars in his hand into RMB. It was for his big acquisitions during the financial crisis.

skype, yhoo, Disney, Freescale, Hong Kong Guoxin Bank... Wait, which acquisition does not require a large sum of money?

Especially in the era when the financial crisis is about to break out, if you have cash in your hand, you are the uncle. The effect of directly throwing it out is much stronger than those who spend a few years to pay the money.

Therefore, Xiao Qi's loan to the Blackstone Group was completely uneconomical in terms of economic benefits.

However, the Blackstone Group has strong connections in the United States, which is why they offended the entire Wall Street this time, so the situation is so embarrassing. In another time, especially when the merger between the Blackstone Group and the Blackrock Group is unstoppable, their future strength will be It will be even bigger, and it can completely act as Xiao Qi's acquisition partner.

Considering the good reputation of the Blackstone Group, Xiao Qi felt that it would be a good idea to form a good relationship with them.

Giving charcoal in the snow is far better than icing on the cake.

Under Swarzman's apprehension, Xiao Qi finally spoke: "How much money do you need? How to mortgage and how to repay it?"

"I hope to borrow 5 billion US dollars from you with the shares of our Hilton Hotel Group as collateral. The expected repayment is three years, and the annual interest is 7%. What do you think of it?" Schwartzman said quickly Out of their own plans.

Wall Street's dismantling of funds, involving large amounts, depends on the identity and strength of the borrowing company.

For example, the 20 billion US dollars that the three Russian oil companies lent to Xiao Qi last time was 15% annual interest, which can be described as very high.

However, if the Blackstone Group borrowed 5 billion US dollars, 7% is already a relatively high interest rate. If banks such as Citigroup, Bank of America, and Wells Fargo are not tight, 5% interest rate is not impossible.

Although 5 billion US dollars is a bit much, don't forget that Xiao Qi's drempd2 and dremsrs are still attracting money continuously. In a few months, Xiao Qi's cash flow will increase again to make up for the 5 billion US dollars gap It's a breeze.

What's more, the young man still has some time-lag supply funds in his hands, and at least 10 billion U.S. dollars can be used at critical times, which is enough for emergency use.

But Xiao Qi can't agree so easily, the easier it is to get something, the harder it is to cherish it, and it doesn't reflect Xiao Qi's willingness to give charcoal.

"Five billion US dollars is a bit too much, let me think about it again." Xiao Qi said to Schwartzman solemnly: "In three days, whether you borrow it or not, I will definitely give you an answer."

"Okay, I'll be waiting for news from you at any time."

Schwarzman knew that it was a bit hasty for Xiao Qi to decide on such a large amount of loan so quickly, three days is not long, and both Blackstone Group and Blackrock Group can afford it.

What's more, the initial hopes of Schwarzman and Peterson were not placed on Xiao Qi.

In addition to the cash sold by the choking grl, they mostly asked European banks for help. Xiao Qi's side was just a temporary thought of Schwarzman.

The best they can get, the failure to get it won't have a major impact on their plans.

"After I go back, I will complete the share transfer agreement of chord grl, and the price will be calculated according to the 3.6 billion U.S. dollars you said." Before leaving, Schwarzman still said: "But we really need For this cash, please help me a lot."

"Don't worry, the money will be in your account within 24 hours after signing the agreement." Xiao Qi hesitated, and said: "However, we'd better keep this transaction a secret for the time being. As for the money, you can find it wherever you want." This is an excuse. The shares of choking GRL are still stored in your Blackstone Group on the surface."

"Can."

Schwartzman knew what Xiao Qi meant, and agreed after thinking about it.

After seeing him off, Xiao Qi couldn't help waving his fist.

Today's 25% of Green Pine, 20% of Citibank, and 15% of Blackstone Group add up to 60%!

The rest of the people who bought the shares of choking grl are not Xiao Qi's enemies.

If Xiao Qi wants to repurchase in good faith, at the original price of 80%, he will definitely be able to repurchase 100%.

If Xiao Qi wants to buy back at a cheaper price, he only needs to wait a few more months until the financial turmoil hits, and everything will become much easier again!

No wonder someone has said that disasters are bad for some people, but good for others.

It just depends on where you stand! (To be continued..)
