My 1999

"Mr. Xu, this is the invitation letter I received today."

Xu Liang took it and took a look.

They are basically the top figures in the Australian business community.

This was also what he expected.

With his current status, he will receive a lot of attention no matter where he goes.

Especially now that his acquisition of Unocal Petroleum Company is intensifying, it is even more eye-catching.

But now he doesn't want to attend these so-called drinking parties.

If you have this time, you might as well stay at home and enjoy your family.

"Um?"

See what’s on the last invitation.

"An investment reception organized by the Australian Department of Trade?"

“Every January, the Australian Department of Trade organizes such a reception to provide Australian business owners with a platform for communication and financing.

And some foreign business elites and financial scholars will also be invited. " Lu Hui explained.

"January 26, there is still one week left." Xu Liang pondered for a moment, "You reply for me, and I will attend on time."

"OK."

Although Australia has a small population, it is rich in resources.

Xu Liang also wanted to see if there were any good investment opportunities here.

"Mr. Xu, this is the receipt and payment receipt for the first transaction of Hanhua Pacific No. 2 Fund."

Xu Liang took it and took a look.

"$3 billion sold so quickly?"

The cooperation between Pacific 2 Fund and Oppenheimer acquired by the Montes family, as well as Merrill Lynch and Morgan Stanley, are all carried out in installments.

The first phase is US$3 billion.

Only after this phase is sold out and the profits are returned to Hanhua will the second phase of cooperation be carried out.

Why is this happening?

Of course it's safe.

If all the tens of billions of dollars are sold and settled, there may be a question as to whether the money can be recovered in the end.

After all, this is tens of billions or even hundreds of billions in revenue.

Who can guarantee that they will be able to resist greed?

Even if the Montes family, Merrill Lynch and Morgan Stanley dare not offend the wealthy and powerful people behind Hanhua's investment, they will not embezzle the money, but they will only postpone the repayment date for half a year or a year.

This huge amount of money can earn billions of dollars in net profit just from interest.

Therefore, Xu Liang would rather be troublesome at the beginning than let others steal his money.

"The Montes family, Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley are more active than we originally expected." Lu Huidao.

“It’s really positive.

But it is also related to the current international financial environment. "Xu Liang said.

With the Federal Reserve interest rate so low, both banks and insurance companies like to borrow dollars with low interest rates to buy bonds with high interest rates and obtain the interest difference to make money.

Therefore, there is never a shortage of buyers for AAA-rated bonds in the market.

Sign your name on the second phase of the cooperation agreement.

"Send it to Qiu Heng."

Lu Hui nodded and took it.

"Mr. Xu, these are the minutes of the second negotiation between Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley with Unocal Petroleum."

Xu Liang took it and turned it over.

“Unocal itself offered $11.2 billion?”

"Yes, this price does not include Unocal's debt. If debt is calculated, the total acquisition price is US$13.8 billion.

The price is already very high.

And they require all-cash transactions. "

Xu Liang nodded, "Besides us, are there any other institutions that quote Unocal Oil?"

"Yes, 13 institutions including ConocoPhillips and Continental Petroleum Company have made acquisition bids for Unocal, but our conditions should be the best."

"Are any Chinese companies involved?"

"nothing now."

Xu Liang raised his eyebrows slightly and said to himself: "That's not right. Why hasn't the CNOOC oil price come to an end at this time?"

Subconsciously I wanted to call and check, but after thinking about it I decided against it.

Anyway, the acquisition of Unocal Oil has just begun.

"Is there still a war of words in the U.S. Congress?"

Lu Hui nodded and replied: "The lobbying companies recommended by Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley are very powerful and have the upper hand in the hearings currently being held in Congress regarding our acquisition of Unocal.

However, more and more people are paying attention to this matter, and with the help of many news media that are malicious towards us, there are many voices opposing the acquisition online.

And there was a small demonstration against us yesterday in Washington, DC.

Therefore, Unocal's acquisition has become much more complicated. "

Xu Liang nodded, "I will write a document later. You can help me pass it on to Xia Changsheng and ask him to hire more media. We cannot be at a disadvantage in the battle of public opinion."

"Mr. Xu, such tit-for-tat confrontation will complicate the problem. Is there a way to make the final decision?" Lu Hui asked worriedly.

Of course there are ways to nail it down.

And the method is very simple.

Throw money.

99% of the world's problems can be solved by throwing money at it, while the remaining 1% require spending more money.

But Xu Liang's main purpose is not to acquire Unocal, but to attract the hostile eyes of Hanhua away from Hanhua by hyping Unocal's acquisition, so that he can make money from subprime mortgages.

So he hoped that the other party could complicate Unocal's acquisition.

"I also want to make a final decision, but the enemy doesn't want to. Okay, let's not talk about these headaches. Go and bring me the financial reports of Netcom and New Dream."

Lu Hui nodded and turned around to get the documents.

In the busy work, the time soon came to the afternoon.

"Brother, we are back."

boom.

Xu Meng burst in suddenly.

Looking at the turbulent baby sister, Xu Liang put down the documents in his hand and couldn't help but said.

"Won't you knock on the door before you come in?"

"Forgot, pay attention next time."

"If I remember correctly, you have said the same thing to me nine times." Xu Liang glared.

Xu Meng smiled and blinked, "Brother, don't you want to know the results of my sister-in-law's examination?"

Xu Liang opened the drawer, took out a few documents and handed them over.

"Let's see."

Xu Meng picked it up and took a look, her pretty eyes widened instantly.

"Brother, you are so despicable, you actually followed us."

Snapped.

Xu Liang slapped the little girl on the back of her head.

"Brother, hit me!"

Seeing her on the verge of tears, Xu Liang said angrily: "Don't act there, I know how much effort I put into it."

"As strong as an ox..."

Xu Liang glared, and immediately closed her mouth without the support of her mother.

"Brother, how did you get my sister-in-law's examination report?"

"Of course it was passed on to me by your sister-in-law's attending doctor. I spent so much money, but I still have this little privilege."

"No wonder."

After returning the report in his hand to Xu Liang, "Brother, when Sister Xiaoyang is born, I will have six little nephews and two little nieces."

He immediately shook his head and looked at the smelly old man in front of him with a sigh.

"In just two years, you have gone from 0 to 8. If you add in the 3 children in the belly of the two sisters-in-law of the Sun family in South Korea, it will be 11.

Brother, you gave birth to a football team! "

"Stop talking. In June next year, you will have a little nephew born; in October, you will have two."

Fan Xiaopang was born in June, and Futian Xinmei was born in October. The latter was also pregnant with double yolk eggs.

Looking at my sister.

"You don't seem surprised at all?"

"What's so surprising? You're already 11, and it's normal to have three more. But I'm curious, brat, how many nephews and nieces do you want to give me?"

"From a probabilistic perspective, the more children you have, the greater the probability of them becoming successful. Your brother and I have worked so hard to create such a large family business, but we cannot allow our ineffective offspring to be ruined," Xu Liang said.

"So you plan to keep having children?"

"Um."

"Tsk tsk, rich people just know how to play. Some like extreme sports, some like playing with lions and tigers, and some like gay people. When it comes to you, they like to have children.

If I continue to live like this, I wonder if there is any hope of setting a Guinness World Record? "

"In history, there was a man named Moulay Ismail. He was the second sultan of the Alawi dynasty of Morocco. He was known as the "first horse breed in the world." According to legend, he had as many as 867 descendants.

So there is a high probability that I will not be able to set a Guinness World Record. "

Although Xu Liang likes to have more children, he doesn't plan to have so many.

Otherwise, you won’t recognize them, and the children you give birth to will be no different from strangers.

Dong Dong…….

A knock on the door interrupted their conversation.

Jiang Xiaoyang opened the door and walked in.

"sister in law."

"what's the topic?"

"Sister-in-law, you don't know that my brother actually bribed the doctors in the hospital to secretly follow your every examination."

"If you can't speak, don't speak." Xu Liang scolded.

Xu Meng made a face at the smelly old man and turned around quickly.

"Brother, sister-in-law, I won't be a light bulb anymore, bye."

As soon as he finished speaking, he ran out quickly.

"This stinky girl is always so little."

"She is like this in front of you. When she was in Hanhua, Xiaomeng was a resolute 'Mulan' with clear rewards and punishments, and excellent abilities. Everyone respected her."

A smile appeared on Xu Liang's lips.

My sister Xu Meng's ability has been verified in her previous life.

Now he has given Xu Meng a higher platform, allowing Xu Meng to get better training and experience, and her talents and abilities in business management have been revealed earlier.

"Without you, my sister-in-law, to help her, she wouldn't have adapted to Hanhua's work so quickly."

He helped Jiang Xiaoyang sit down and looked at the bag in her hand.

"What did you get?"

"Didn't I tell you in the morning that someone recommended three projects to me? I brought the information over, please take a look."

Xu Liang took it.

Every information is very detailed.

After Xu Liang read it carefully.

"How about it?"

"Why do you want to acquire Tieben?"

“Whether a project is good or not depends on three key points.

First, excellent business leaders.

Second, whether the project planning is reasonable.

Third, future prospects.

In terms of leaders, Dai Guofang, the founder of Tieben, came from a poor family and was frugal by nature. He was a trustworthy person in the eyes of Changzhou locals.

He is thin, taciturn, and has no hobbies in his life. He just spends all day in the factory, discussing with technicians.

He is also the famous "Five Bosses" in the local area.
