Reborn Tycoon Rise

New York, USA:

"Mr. Xu, I have been working in the financial industry all my life, and I really admire you. Your profits this time are really enviable!" In the Goldman Sachs Bank office, a white middle-aged man said to Xu Zhi with a smile.

Xu Zhidao: "It's just a gamble, just good luck."

The person talking to Xu Zhi was Currie, the executive vice president of Goldman Sachs Group. After Xu Zhi came to the United States from Hong Kong, he immediately went to New York and began to order the liquidation of the gold futures purchased a year ago. At this moment, the price of gold has reached The highest clearance price of Xu Zhi was US$760 per ounce. Taking into account the huge interest and transaction tax deducted, the total profit was more than US$1.2 billion.

Although Xu Zhi has made separate bets long ago, this is not a big secret for top investment banks like Goldman Sachs.

Currie said: "Luck is also a part of success, once is luck, several times is strength!

Eric, now that you have such a large amount of cash, you don’t know if you have any investment plans. We at Goldman Sachs can provide the most perfect service. "

Xu Zhidao: "There is a plan, but I don't know if Goldman Sachs is interested?"

Corey asked: "What investment? Eric, are you ready to let go of Midea Company and accept a shareholding?"

Midea has had several popular games in a row and has almost monopolized half of the arcade market. Goldman Sachs is naturally aware of the profits, and subsequently launched handheld game consoles and home consoles. The former currently ranks first in the market, and the latter ranks second, second only to the overlord. Atari, this makes many investment institutions jealous.

You must know that the life of arcade machines is not long. Although the profits are large, they may not be able to form long-term stable profits. However, handheld game consoles and home consoles are different. These two products are aimed at people around the world and can cultivate customer groups on a large scale. In the future, just by constantly replacing game cartridges, profits will naturally be stable, which is also in line with the goals of Wall Street investment institutions.

Xu Zhi smiled and said: "Midea does not accept financing for the time being, but another company under my umbrella can."

"Which one?" Corey asked.

Xu Zhidao: "Hutchison Whampoa Company is a Xiangjiang company that I acquired a few months ago."

Currie frowned and said: "I know Hutchison Whampoa. We at Goldman Sachs don't have much interest in this kind of traditional company."

A month ago, Corey didn't know anything about Hutchison Whampoa. He just received an order from the company to contact Xu Zhi, so he studied his information carefully. Naturally, he also knew about Xu Zhi's recent major acquisitions, and he knew about Hutchison Whampoa. Remember the name Huangpu.

Xu Zhi said with a smile: "I plan to internationalize Hutchison Whampoa, so I need an internationally influential company as a shareholder. I am more optimistic about Goldman Sachs and hope that we can further cooperate. Goldman Sachs does not need to invest too much, and we A discounted price will be given.”

Brad asked: "Then how many shares do we need to buy?"

Xu Zhi said: "5%-10% is enough. I will arrange for someone to send the specific financial report."

Brad said: "Okay, I will discuss this matter with others on the board of directors, but I have another suggestion. Mr. Xu can send this company to the United States for listing, so that we can cooperate better. "

"Listing in the United States?" Xu Zhi was stunned for a moment. This was an operation that Hutchison Whampoa had never done before. Later Li Ka-shing almost bought half of Europe, but he did not involve the United States much.

Brad said: "Yes, it is normal for a large company to be listed in two places."

"I will seriously consider this suggestion." Xu Zhi continued: "But this is not the investment I just mentioned. I am going to short a company's stock. I wonder if Goldman Sachs is interested in joining?"

"Short selling?" Currie asked curiously: "Which company?"

Xu Zhidao: "We have to keep it secret now. I can only say that I have a piece of very unfavorable evidence against the company. Once it is announced, it will inevitably have an impact on the company's stock price."

Currie asked curiously: "What kind of evidence?"

Xu Zhidao: "Environmental pollution, the company maliciously discharged a large amount of sewage, causing many surrounding residents to get cancer!"

"Is there such a thing?" Corey was stunned for a moment, then asked: "Is it in the United States?"

Xu Zhi shook his head and said, "No, in Wanwan."

"I'm afraid it would have limited influence in Asia." Currie explained: "If this kind of thing were in the United States, once it was exposed, the stock price would inevitably plummet. In the Gulf, it may not have much influence."

Xu Zhi said with a smile: "Mr. Brad, I don't fight uncertainties. I have already contacted many officials in Wanwan. As soon as this matter comes out, an American company's malicious discharge of sewage will cause thousands of people to get cancer." Or even die, which is enough to make global headlines.”

"This is feasible." Corey nodded and said.

Xu Zhi said: "Yes, I will be responsible for the Asian side, but on the American side, I also need strong figures to cooperate in suppressing the stock price and mobilizing public opinion. It is best to influence the White House's decision. As long as the cooperation is good, the other company It's not a problem at all if the stock price falls, we can profit from it."

Ke Li smiled and said: "But I still have to know which company it is, otherwise we won't be able to cooperate, right?"

"Of course." Xu Zhi said with a smile: "But Mr. Currie must first sign this confidentiality agreement on behalf of Goldman Sachs."

Xu Zhi took out a document, which was a standard confidentiality agreement issued by a top law firm in New York. After Corey read it, he confirmed that there was nothing wrong with it, so he signed his name and asked, "Can we talk now?" Bar?"

Xu Zhidao: "It's RCA!"

"RCA?" Curry suddenly frowned and said, "RCA is one of the top companies in the United States. Its NBC TV station is one of the three major TV stations in the United States. It has great influence. It is not easy to influence him."

"It's because we are a top company that we can make profits, isn't it?" Xu Zhi said with a smile. Because it is a large company with a market value of up to 5 billion U.S. dollars, there is room for profit if we go short. Otherwise, if it is just a company with a market value of several hundred million, The company, no matter how short it was, didn't make much profit, and he and Goldman Sachs looked down upon it.

Curry said: "Then what kind of pollution can hit RCA?"

Xu Zhi handed over another document and said, "Mr. Brad, you can take a look at this information."

Corey took it, looked at it slowly for ten minutes, and said, "So it turns out that discharging sewage into groundwater is indeed very bad."

Although the words came out as condemnation, Corey's tone was very happy. Obviously, for him, it was enough to make money from this matter. As for those cancer patients, he didn't care at all.

Xu Zhidao: "The worse it is, the better. Only then will we have room to operate."

Corey nodded and said, "Okay, we need to discuss this matter internally."

"Understood." Xu Zhi nodded. This time it was targeting a powerful media company in the United States. Even Goldman Sachs had to be fully prepared to get the maximum profit from this matter.

Curry asked: "Short selling is actually very simple. Mr. Xu shouldn't need to tell us about this, right?"

If you just want to make a profit from short selling, you don't need to prepare too much. You can borrow the stocks and sell them before the incident is exposed. After the media takes effect, if the stocks fall, you can buy them back and make a profit from the price difference.

"Yes, there is another thing. I want Goldman Sachs to help me acquire RCA's television and radio business." Xu Zhi said with a smile.

"TV business?" Curry said with a smile: "Mr. Xu's idea is indeed different. We at Goldman Sachs have actually received several large consortiums to acquire RCA's business, but these companies are all interested in NBC TV stations. Instead, because I didn’t want the lagging TV business, so the negotiation failed in the end.”

"It's no use even if I'm interested in NBC TV station." Xu Zhi said with a smile. As a Chinese, it is impossible for him to buy a newspaper in the United States. As for the TV station, it is probably impossible to change nationality.

Corey nodded and said: "Well, I have to contact more people. This matter may be able to benefit many parties."
