Age of Dreams

After saying the psychological hint ten times in a row, Compass smiled again: "Qi Shao, let's not talk about these small things... What you said before is based on the price of 30 US dollars for the bet, which is really beyond our Isn’t it a bit unreasonable to calculate the unexpected events in the future?”

"That's the essence of gambling, doesn't Mr. Compass know?" Xiao Qi said innocently.

"We are already very sincere." Compass raised his hand, "The current price is almost 54 US dollars, sign the settlement suspension contract, you can take away 800 million US dollars from Merrill Lynch, and you can also take away ADI's The wireless communication department can also gain the friendship of Merrill Lynch. In the United States, Merrill Lynch is still a very capable company."

"As I said, the price of oil will break 30, and I will wait until then to harvest." Xiao Qi said without giving in. "As for Merrill Lynch's friendship, it is not based on my charity. As long as we have common needs , that is a friend; as long as our goals are not the same, that is an enemy. Between the enemy and ourselves, the distinction cannot be so clear, nor is it so absolute."

The pupils of Kompas' eyes shrank obviously.

Taking advantage of the time when the restaurant waiter brought the tableware again, Compass ate with his head down to hide his horror.

In fact, the essence of cooperation and confrontation is just a few words that Xiao Qi said, but these are all life experiences that can only be summed up after going through countless ups and downs. Why does Xiao Qi know so much?

And looking at Xiao Qi's words and deeds, it's not just lip service at all, his heart is still open.

After eating something again, Kompas said: "I can't do the 30 settlement, at least I don't have the authority."

"I know, you go and ask for instructions, I'm not in a hurry." Xiao Qi smiled. But suddenly said: "Are you here this time because you want to buy shares in Fairy Company?"

"Uh... oh!?"

Compass was in a state of irritability, and answered subconsciously.

As soon as the words came out of his mouth, he knew it was bad, and he was tricked by this kid!

Shaking his head, Compass knew that he had lost this time. Although I feel that I value Xiao Qi, now it seems that not only the people in the headquarters have underestimated him, but I have not paid enough attention to him.

"Since you are interested, let's talk about it." Xiao Qi still suppressed him, not giving him the first chance to speak: "How do you plan to buy, how do you want to buy?"

Compass clenched his fists, but his tone was more relaxed: "The headquarters gave three plans, the first one is a wholly-owned acquisition; the second one is to buy a certain amount of shares... But I am not prepared to choose either of them. I I want to do an IPO for Mr. Xiao's company."

To be honest, it was the first time that Xiao Qi didn't feel like he was in control during such a long conversation.

Originally thought that these greedy foreign investment banks would jump over like a crocodile and swallow Fairy Company, so Xiao Qi wanted to know their plans first, and then make a countermeasure by himself.

It is predicted that the dream pad will be a big hit in the future, according to Xiao Qi's oriental character. Don't say it's selling Fairy Company, it's just spreading out the shares. It's impossible, at least until it reaches a certain stage, don't think about it at all.

As a result, Kompas didn't know if he had received the stimulus, so he immediately stated the least greedy plan.

Seeing Xiao Qi's surprised look, Compass finally felt a little more comfortable, "Mr. Xiao. Huaguo's companies are listed in the United States, and more than 50% of the IPOs are made by our Merrill Lynch. Compared with Merrill Lynch, Goldman Sachs, and Morgan Stan Let's wait, we have too many advantages between Huaguo and the United States, which guarantees that you can get the results and wealth in advance."

"What about the price?"

"Generally, there are two types. One is that we take a certain amount of shares according to the issue price, such as 20%; the other is to pay us a fee, which is about 5% of the total amount raised in the IPO." Compass said cautiously.

While speaking, he was observing Xiao Qi's face, but unfortunately, he couldn't see anything.

Huaguo companies are generally at a disadvantage when listed in the United States. For example, when CCB was listed in the United States, Bank of America ate up 20% of CCB’s shares at a super low price. This also helped them get rid of troubles in the financial crisis and finally succeeded The acquisition of Merrill Lynch provided a solid foundation.

Another kind of IPO fee, the price given by the investment banks in the United States is different, and it depends on the strength of the IPO company, the size of the amount, and so on.

When GM raises large-scale IPO funds in the next year or two, Merrill Lynch and Morgan Stanley offered 2% and 2.5%, and Goldman Sachs dared to offer an ultra-low price of 0.75%, but it was impossible to give it to Xiao Qi. of.

Compared with Huaguo Company, 5% is a kind of sincerity!

Xiao Qi nodded: "Okay, I understand, if there is a need, I will come to you."

Compass' eyes widened. He had already stated the extremely favorable conditions, so why did he still look indifferent?

Could it be that Citigroup gave him better ipo conditions?

Or is he not planning to start preparing for the IPO at all?

These questions did not reach a conclusion until Compass and his men left.

Not only him, but the representatives of Goldman Sachs who came later also received the same treatment as Compass, the same did not reach an early termination of the VAM agreement, and the same did not get any IPO promises.

While reporting the situation to the domestic headquarters, the two got together and began to discuss how to deal with Xiao Qi.

At the very least, the VAM contract must be settled first, otherwise these two VAM contracts are like two giant clowns hanging at the gates of Merrill Lynch and Goldman Sachs, being ridiculed every day.

"What should I do?" Legere, vice president of Goldman Sachs Asia, asked Compass with a frowning face.

The two had worked as colleagues at JPMorgan Chase before, so they were naturally familiar with each other.

In fact, financial experts on Wall Street in the United States change jobs from time to time, so they are very familiar with each other.

"Those bastards in the headquarters know how to shirk responsibility." Kompas muttered while drinking beer: "We need to do our best to end the contract, but the price is stuck. According to the current momentum, I am Xiao Qi, and I am also It will not be terminated early, but it will involve 500, 600, 700, 800 million U.S. dollars."

"Don't mention it, we still need me to try my best to reduce the losses, and let Xiao Qi sign the IPO contract. Hehe, why don't they come to Huaguo to see this monstrous young man?" Legree sneered: " If they were the ones who dealt with Xiao Qi back then, they are guaranteed to leave in disgrace just like Danze and Yista!"

"You don't have to worry, as long as we all insist on saying that Xiao Qi's bottom line is like this, then it's up to them to make a decision." Compass looked at him and said, "Old friend, are you willing to advance and retreat with me?" ?”

Legree smiled slightly, raised his beer glass, and touched him.

it is more than words. (To be continued..)
