My 1999

Seeing that Hyde Price and John Crane were not fooled at all, Teejay Loud, who failed to successfully provoke a conflict, couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

Taking a slight breath, TJ Lauder calmed down his emotions.

Since I haven't fooled anyone, I can only do something practical.

"Two gentlemen, Hongmeng will only provide 20% of the shares in the B round, but eleven companies will share it. If we cannot come up with an offer that Hongmeng cannot refuse, then Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan DA Pass and Citigroup will participate in this round." Being reduced to spectators in financing is something we all don’t want to see.

But if the three of us make quotations separately, the convincing power will be much less, and it will also be difficult to surpass other institutions.

Therefore, overall, joining forces is the best option. "

"Mr. Lauder, of course we know that joining forces is the best option, but the key is where to start?"

Hyde Price is smiling, and his high cheekbones and deep eyes make him look unpredictable.

"Both of them are smart people. Don't they have no goals at all?" Tij Lauder asked with a smile.

Prius smiled and said: "We have some considerations, but we are not very sure. Moreover, I heard that Mr. Lauder has a close relationship with Xu Liang. I met him after arriving in the capital and talked a lot, so we are more Want to hear your opinion.”

John Crane nodded in agreement.

Teejay Lauder understands that these two people are obviously trying to rip off his own bottom line, but the matter of Vivendi Global and US$5 billion in corporate debt is too big, and now Goldman Sachs cannot swallow this big piece of meat worth US$20 billion. .

But we can bring JP Morgan and Citigroup together.

"Xu Liang did discuss Hongmeng's financing conditions with Goldman Sachs."

Hyde Price and John Klein's eyes lit up, but just as they were plucking their ears, Lauder picked up the coffee on the table and took a sip, slowly and without any intention of continuing.

Preuss and Klein frowned. They were both smart people. After thinking for a while, they understood what Lauder was thinking.

The two looked at each other.

"If the three of us can win the main share of Hongmeng Financing this time, Goldman Sachs can account for 40% of the total share." Price said.

Lauder put down his coffee cup and said, "Fifty percent."

"It's impossible. First, we don't know whether your news is true or false. Second, although we don't know Hongmeng's real purpose, we can guess something from Xu Liang's words when he left.

Third, if we come to the door, Xu Liang will give us a clear path even if he won't tell us everything. "Price said in a deep voice.

Lauder smiled and said: "You all know whether Xu Liang has met me, otherwise you wouldn't be here. As for the remaining two, I admit that what you said makes sense, but for the same thing, HSBC , Germany, they will also understand.

Without any advantage, why should Xu Liang give you the best interests?

Don’t forget, Hongmeng doesn’t have much business in the United States. On the contrary, it has a lot of business in Europe.

Deutsche Bank is more worthy of wooing than Citigroup and Morgan. "

Klein, who had been silent, slowly shook his head.

"Without 30% of the interests, this alliance is meaningless."

After nodding in agreement, Prius affirmed: "We can go to Dezhi. I believe that even if Xu Liang has a plan in his heart, he will not hide much from the three of us."

Lauder's eyes flashed. Based on his understanding of Xu Liang, he would indeed not conceal his purpose, just like when he made conditions to himself.

"I can take a step back on behalf of Goldman Sachs, but you have to help Goldman Sachs win the qualification of Hongmeng listed brokerage."

"We will help you, but as far as I know, Hongmeng has already agreed to Morgan Stanley and Merrill Lynch. Their strength is higher than that of Goldman Sachs, so I am not sure to convince Xu Liang." Preuss said directly.

"As long as you two try your best."

"I said yes on behalf of Citi."

"I agree to this on behalf of JPMorgan DA."

After the two expressed their stance, Lauder drafted a contract, and after the three parties signed it, Xu Liang's original conditions were spelled out.

Preuss and Klein thought that Hongmeng or Xu Liang's requirements would definitely be high, but they still didn't expect that they would be so high.

"Vivendi Global plus US$5 billion in corporate debt brings a total value of US$19 billion. It's really a big appetite." Price said with surprise.

"Hongmeng will use 20% of its shares to raise funds this time. According to the agreement reached, it can raise US$10.7 billion. With the support of this huge amount of money, it is enough to acquire Vivendi Global.

Now that they have raised another US$5 billion, isn't their goal just Vivendi Global? "Klein said doubtfully.

"Haha, John, have you forgotten the Hongmeng information we have seen? After the financing is completed, Hongmeng will allocate half of the funds to each major subsidiary based on the profits of its subsidiaries.

The rest will be allocated by the head office.

In the face of competition from General Electric, tens of billions of liquidity are the basic guarantee. "Laud smiled.

Klein nodded and said nothing more.

"Vidiwang Global's assets include many American TV stations. Even with our help, it will be difficult for these assets to be swallowed up by Hongmeng." Preuss said with a slight frown.

"It doesn't matter, just peel these off. Anyway, the main purpose of Hongmeng is Universal Pictures." Lauder said with a smile.

After discussing for a long time, the three people settled the matter.

US$5 billion in corporate bonds are distributed among the three companies in a 4:3:3 ratio, with Goldman Sachs having the most.

The shares of Hongmeng are also in the same proportion. If the shares obtained from Hongmeng exceed or are less than this proportion, the three companies will have to take out or buy the excess shares according to their respective amounts.

"Mr. Xu, this is the document that the Administration Department just brought over."

After taking the document from Lu Hui's hand, she looked at it and handed it to Xie Wen next to her.

"Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan DA, Citigroup join forces? HSBC and Deutsche join forces?!"

In just one day, eleven institutions were divided.

However, this did not deviate from Xu Liang's expectations.

You can get more by joining forces.

This is especially true for institutions that are participating in financing for the first time.

Xie Wen put down the document and said, "Mr. Xu, if they join forces, will it hinder the final financing?"

Xu Liang waved his hand and smiled.

"Only when we are strong can we ask for a higher price. But I am surprised that the remaining institutions are not fools, so why are they indifferent?"

“Nothing like 5.35 is not two points.

First, strength does not allow it.

Second, I feel that my family can offer us an offer that is difficult to refuse. "

Xu Liang nodded in agreement.

According to the previous agreement, 1% of Hongmeng’s original shares are worth US$535 million.

Except for the oil tycoon Abu Dhabi Investment Authority, everyone will weigh and weigh carefully.

"But I'm curious as to why Merrill Lynch, the leader of the five major investment banks on Wall Street, has been silent?" Xie Wen said.

Xu Liang understood what he meant.
