Rebirth of Hong Kong 1981

   Chapter 600 $10 Billion Financing

   didn't make Yang Chen wait long, the phone in Lan Meiren's hand rang, but it was from Goldman Sachs, who arrived in Las Vegas early.

   Yang Chen was not surprised by this.

   The main body of Goldman Sachs is the partnership system. It has always been known for its considerate service to customers. As long as it can win customers, Goldman Sachs will basically do its best.

   Although Goldman Sachs is powerful and has a great influence in later generations, Yang Chen is not afraid of being targeted by the other party. He wants to do things with stability. No matter how powerful Goldman Sachs is, he can't reach out to him.

  If he can, he even wants to control the investment bank Goldman Sachs.

  In this world, everything speaks in terms of money.

   In a capital society, there is nothing that money cannot buy, everything has its value, and as long as it is valuable, it can be bought and sold.

   Today, Goldman Sachs is still just a first-class investment bank in the United States. It still has many years of hard work from a world-class investment bank. Compared with its strength and future generations, there is still a long way to go.

  Yang Chen wiped his mouth and instructed Huo Jianhuo, who was opposite him, "Jianhuo, go downstairs and help me pick up people from Goldman Sachs."

  Huo Jianxuan: "Okay, boss."

   After Huo Jianxuan left, Yang Chen continued to instruct Lan Meiren who had just picked up the fork and had just eaten two bites: "Secretary Lan, go see if Qingxia is awake, and call her down when she wakes up."

   "Oh" Lan Meiren paused, looked at the dessert in front of her, licked her small tongue, and was reluctant to leave her seat.

   Soon, Yang Chen met people from Goldman Sachs Group.

   As soon as we met, Whitehead used his very poor Chinese to greet Yang Chen who was sitting, "Hello, Mr. Yang Chen, I'm Whitehead, President of Goldman Sachs Bank, nice to meet you."

   Originally, Yang Chen didn't care much, but after hearing the other party's self-introduction, he couldn't help but be surprised, "Hello, Mr. Whitehead, please take a seat."

  Whitehead, one of the two successors of Goldman Sachs.

In 1976, after the death of Goldman's senior partner, Gustafman Levy, the company's management board decided that White Weinberg (son of Sydney Weinberg) and Whitehead would jointly act as the The successor to the Goldman Sachs estate.

   At first, many on Wall Street suspected that this two-person leadership structure would lead to chaos within the company.

   However, things are often unexpected.

  By White Weinberg and Whitehead, although they are newcomers, they have a tacit understanding with each other. After the two took over Goldman Sachs Group, Goldman Sachs began a series of internal reforms.

   Since the 1970s, due to excessive business expansion, Goldman Sachs has caused chaos in the internal management of the company, with unclear definition of main responsibilities and rights, lack of discipline, and huge expenses…

   In the face of such a predicament, the two did not sit still and seemed to understand that the fortress was often breached first from the inside, so after taking office, the two slashed at their own people with the first knife.

Young people are more direct and neat in their work, and the two of them are bold. Although Goldman Sachs’ business has grown slowly in the first two years, it has made Goldman Sachs management gradually clear and clear, which has laid a solid foundation for Goldman Sachs’ rapid progress after entering the 1980s. .

After    said hello, Whitehead said apologetically: "I'm sorry, Mr. Yang Chen, I'm learning Chinese. I believe that next time we meet again, there will be no trouble in this regard."

  Yang Chen said directly in English: "It doesn't matter, we can use English."

  Whitehead said seriously: "Chinese is a very challenging language. If I don't learn it, I will feel that something is missing in my life."

   Yang Chen half-jokingly said, "I think it should be money."

   Whitehead didn't expect Yang Chen to be so direct, so he smiled and said, "It is undeniable that the charm of money, no one can resist."

   "Mr. Yang Chen, I heard that your company intends to go public in the United States. I don't know if this news is true or false?"

  Yang Chen: "Are you talking about my game company?"

  Whitehead: "Yes, it is Mr. Yang Chen's GB game console company."

   "There is such a thing." Yang Chen didn't deny it, he just nodded.

   After receiving Yang Chen's personal confirmation, Whitehead couldn't help feeling overjoyed, and immediately said, "Mr. Yang Chen, if your company wants to go public in the United States, I think our Goldman Sachs Bank can provide you with a full range of services."

   "Any service?" Yang Chen shook his head, showing an attitude of disbelief.

Whitehead said with perseverance: "Mr. Yang Chen, before coming here, we have already had a detailed understanding of your company. Once your company accepts the services of Goldman Sachs, we are confident that the market value of your company will exceed 10 billion US dollars on the day of listing. More than $3 billion in financing."

Yang Chen still shook his head: "Mr. Whitehead, you said that you have a detailed understanding of my company, so you know that my game company, in North America alone, has more than $800 million in less than a month. profit.

   And this is just a game console, not a follow-up game cartridge. You must know that the profit of a game cartridge is not lower than that of a game console. Do you think such a company has a market value of only 10 billion, right? "

   Whitehead smiled bitterly and said, "Mr. Yang Chen, you should know that there is still an Atari company in the United States. As long as it exists, it will be difficult for Mr. Yang Chen's game company to enter the home and arcade industry."

   "Atari, as a local game company, investors will be much more interested in it than other foreign companies."

   Yang Chen faintly smiled and said, "Has Mr. Whitehead ever played a GB game console?"

   "Yes, before I came, I was playing Xiangjiang Cube on the plane. I have to say that this game is really good."

   Whitehead seemed to be afraid that Yang Chen would not believe what he said, and immediately took out a GB game console worth fifty dollars from the briefcase he was carrying.

  Yang Chen continued to ask with a smile: "Then, Mr. Whitehead, have you ever played Atari's games?"

   "Press, I said now, not a year ago."

   "Uh..." Whitehead was stunned when he heard the words, and immediately reacted.

   In the past two years, Goldman Sachs has been researching and investigating the U.S. game market. From the initial bullishness to the extreme bullishness, to the last bearishness, it believes that the American game market only has short-term prosperity.

   The main reason for this is Atari, the American gaming giant.

"I believe that Goldman Sachs has a serious understanding of the US game market, and must also have some understanding of Atari. Atari is now a giant standing on the edge of a cliff. At this time, as long as a gust of wind blows, it may make the giant fall. Down to the abyss.

   And my game console, Mr. Whitehead, you have seen it, not only game consoles, but also home consoles and arcades, we have also made layouts. "

   "I estimate the market value of my game company at a minimum of 30 billion US dollars, and the financing should not be less than 10 billion US dollars. If Goldman Sachs can do this, we will discuss it in detail."
