Reborn Capital Empire

Chapter two hundred and eighty fourth stalemate

…

"Have the betting talks between Citi and Bruce Kuo not yet come to fruition?"

"No!"

Stephen Bryan said after he slammed his suit billiard ball out.

Blank Fein nodded knowingly. He went to Huaxia some time ago, so he paid less attention to the bet between Citi and Guo Shouyun. In addition, everything has a timeliness. Although the gambling between the two parties is enough to attract attention, with the extension of time, the attention of the media and the public who eat melons will inevitably decrease.

"Has it been half a month?"

"14 days to be exact!" Stephen Bryan said.

"Fourteen days is not too long, not too short. Why is there no result yet?"

"One wants more, the other wants less; maybe they have other considerations. So it is naturally difficult to reach an agreement in a short period of time. In fact, it is normal even if there is no result for a month or two!"

Blank Fein pondered for a moment, "You're right in your analysis. However, I always feel that this is a little bit different from Bruce Guo's style of doing things. Didn't he always act resolutely before? Besides, he took the initiative to provok this bet. Get up!"

"It's not like, maybe he didn't intend to bet with Citi at the beginning, but just used the 'bet' to divert Citi's attention in the gold market and interrupt their attack rhythm. Moreover, he This trick is indeed used correctly. The gold market is still oscillating around the price of $270!”

"Where's Citi? They're not fools. They should have noticed Bruce Guo's change, right?"

"Of course! Now the two affiliated media have become one pot! Although the influence of LinkedIn News is not comparable to that of the "Wall Street Journal"-based media, its audience base is also quite large, so public opinion is not one-sided. Towards Citi. In addition, Citi is still using its influence to push the Fed to raise interest rates. However, although the US economy has stabilized, it is still recovering weakly. Therefore, neither Washington nor the Fed agrees!”

"So the two sides are deadlocked?" Blank Fein said.

"you can say it this way!"

After nodding clearly, "What about the gold market?"

"It's generally stable. The Argentine financial crisis is over on the surface, and there is no event in the world that can make gold fluctuate greatly!"

After thinking for a moment, Blank Fein said with a sigh: "The original plan was to take advantage of the opportunity of the war between the two sides to intervene to make a fortune, but now it seems that the chance is not big!"

"It can't be said that there is no chance at all. After all, no one can accurately predict the future."

Blank Fein nodded in agreement, "I have to go to China in a few days, so you are responsible for the bet between Bruce Guo and Citi."

"Hasn't the dust settled on Huaxia's entry into the WTO?"

As a senior executive of Goldman Sachs, Stephen Bryan naturally understood why Blank went to Huaxia.

"Huaxia's accession to the WTO is over, but the distribution of benefits is not over yet. It's not an easy task to grab a piece of meat from Seymour, Citigroup, and HSBC!"

"Snapped!"

The billiard ball hit by Blank Finn goes straight into the net!

…

They are not the only institutions like Goldman Sachs that care about Guo Shouyun's gambling with Citi. More on the individual. But the most important thing among them is the so-called 'anti-Guo alliance', especially a guy like Oliver Balin who has a 'great hatred' with Guo Shouyun!

However, caring is caring, and it is Citigroup and Guo Shouyun who really play a decisive role.

"Bruce, the negotiation has been going on for three weeks. There are no problems with other terms, only the loan amount. $6.5 billion is our final bottom line, and it is absolutely impossible to continue to increase!"

Looking at Paul Turner with sharp eyes, Guo Shouyun smiled faintly, "Paul, $6.5 billion can't reflect the true value of my assets. If I agree to sign a contract according to this standard, I'm afraid people all over the world will laugh at me. A complete fool!"

"So we still can't reach an agreement today?"

"It's up to you, as long as you can agree to sign the final loan contract according to the $9 billion standard, then I can sign the contract now!"

"9 billion impossible!"

"Then there is no way!" Guo Shouyun shrugged.

Paul Turner frowned, "Bruce! You know, Pan Pacific Energy Group, despite its huge assets, has too much debt. As for Apple, most of its equity was mortgaged when you bought Pacific and Southern California. .LinkedIn, PayPal, and Google are all unlisted Internet companies, and are destined to get too high an asset valuation. After deducting the value of the CDs bonds of $3 billion, the asset valuation of $6.5 billion is a very reasonable price!"

"Paul, you've said the same thing more than once. So, unless $9 billion, I can't say yes!"

Staring closely at the calm guy opposite, "Bruce, you proposed to bet on gold?!"

"certainly!"

"If that's the case, why are you entangled and unwilling to sign a contract?"

"Paul, I've made it very clear! I don't intend to repeat the same words." Guo Shouyun's shrewdness has also been tempered for so long. No matter what Paul Turner said, he insisted that the final conditions would not be relaxed.

And his attitude really gave Paul Turner a headache.

After speaking, Guo Shouyun looked at his watch and stood up.

"Paul, I'm going to accompany my wife to the hospital for a maternity check-up, so today's negotiation will come here first!"

"Bruce...you didn't mean to delay time, did you?"

After standing up with a 'swish' ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Paul Turner stared at the man opposite and said solemnly.

"How could it be! I'm very confident about the future gold market! But, I don't want to play an unfair game! ... Goodbye, let me know when there is good news!"

When the words fell, Guo Shouyun turned around and walked out of the door with his bodyguard.

Looking at his back, Paul Turner's expression was cloudy, and he sighed after a long time. After these days of contact, he has clearly felt that Guo Shouyun does not seem to be particularly enthusiastic about 'gambling gold'. But the huge sums he has invested in gold bulls don't appear to be fraudulent. This paradoxical situation is something Paul Turner could not figure out. In the past few days, he tried repeatedly, but he couldn't get the slightest hint from Guo Shouyun's mouth.

"Do you really want to do the opposite and agree to his 9 billion loan?"

Paul Turner shook his head slowly, and he decided to wait a few more days to have a look! Three weeks is not a long time for this huge loan.
