Chapter 439
Shen Lang also heard about Wang Xin at this time. He had no interest in collecting this information, but Hart frowned and said: "This Wang Xin was one of the top figures in the Four-Nine City back then.
Lord, apart from family background, I don’t have much to do with the young master. Later, because a young master yelled, this guy went over with an iron rod and directly killed that guy.
Both legs were broken, and he was expelled out of desperation. Of course, there was another rumor. At the beginning, the Wang family was not sure about getting the troublemaker out, so he thought about it.
With such an idea, he got himself out. Looking at his resume over the years, his performance is still quite good. It can even be described as excellent, on par with your brother Shen Zheng."
Listening to Hart's comments, Shen Lang also smiled. There are quite a lot of people in the capital with high-ranking officials like Wang Xin. It's not an exaggeration to describe him as Guo Jiang Zhiqing. But people like him
Such crazy people are really rare. Sometimes I can be described as crazy, but everything I do is within the controllable range. I pay special attention to this point, and Wang Xin
What? It seems a bit reckless.
"Forget it, let's stop his matter for the time being. There is something inappropriate between me and him about this matter. He beat my man, and I designed a small trap for him. Both parties ate each other.
It's a loss, but we also understand each other. He and I will not become enemies. If possible, we can become friends.
The sex will be greater. But Yang Tiangao may be unlucky. I just don’t know how Wang Xin will deal with him. From what I heard, Wang Xin doesn’t seem to be very good at dealing with him. I already beat him all over the floor last time.
I hope Wang Xin won’t be like me when it comes to finding teeth, otherwise it will really be a mess.”
Hart directly handed over the invitation sent by Wang Xin, "This is the invitation sent by Wang Xin, and there is news from Miller and others. The current progress is not so smooth, Kerry
We found some useful clues, but it will take some time."
After receiving the invitation, Shen Lang did not open it and said, "I won't go to this invitation from Wang Xin. I don't like attending this party. If you have time, just go there for me. If you don't have time, forget it.
My relationship with him is not that good yet. As for Miller and Carey, they told them not to worry too much. I didn't worry about what they were worried about. By the way, have the income reports at home been sorted out? Are there any?
What other conditions are there?”
"It has been sorted out. According to your request, all the proceeds this time, plus some of our original shares, were directly exchanged for one billion shares of Citibank shares. All of this was completed within 30 trading days. I want Lao Mei to
There should be news about this already, although I
We don't buy a lot every day, but there are still traces. Now Citibank's stock has risen by six cents, an increase of more than 2%. Should we continue to hold it, or should we sell it all out?
We have already made a lot of money, and now there are many people in the market looking to buy."
Shen Lang pursed his lips and thought for a while before saying: "Continue the acquisition. The United States will not let us make such an acquisition. This is already a bad sign. The Ministry of Finance of the United States holds nearly 100% of the acquisition."
Thirty Citibank shares are no more than 10 billion
There is a lot of pressure from the American stock market, and there is also a lot of pressure from Citibank. I can make no money, or even suffer losses, but I have to step on them. They offended me a lot back then.
I've always been a very vindictive person."
Hart was also amused for a while when he heard Shen Lang's tone of voice and his expression. However, he was quite in favor of Shen Lang's behavior. Although he didn't know what the result would be, the process would definitely make the old man laugh.
The U.S. Department of the Treasury and Citibank felt very pressured. After all, Shen Lang had caused great trauma to them.
"Love me or hate me, please feel free to do whatever you want." Shen Lang said this very calmly. Although this sentence was very arrogant, when it came out of Shen Lang's mouth, it also represented something else.
On the one hand, Shen Lang has the courage and confidence to say this. Fortunately, there is only Hart in this aspect. If there were other people here, he would probably be unable to bear it.
The mouth is raised.
"Master, we have acquired so much equity. I don't think Citibank will just sit back and do nothing. If they use any means, how should we deal with it?" Hart's question was very technical. He asked
It depends on which method is used, because the method used determines what kind of person Shen Lang is.
Such an attitude, if you use tough measures, it is purely harming others and not benefiting yourself. However, my family can afford to pay. I don’t know if Citibank and the US Treasury Department can afford to pay for this. I guess they will not sit back and watch.
This happened because Citibank's current situation is not that good.
Shen Lang tilted his head, and after thinking for a long time, he held back his mouth slightly, "Although I hope they can be cruel, they will never take this gamble with us. This will do nothing to the two of them.
For any benefit, you must know that our relationship with Citibank is no longer as simple as a customer. We are almost their partners. We can ignore my interests, but they cannot be as childish as us.
"
"So someone should talk to us soon!"
Shen Lang nodded lightly, "Of course, but they won't just sit down and talk to us about this issue honestly. I want to see what kind of method they want to use. To be honest, I'm not sure about this."
I’m looking forward to it. I’ve been frustrated for a long time. I’ve always been bullied by others. Now finally someone comes to me of my own accord, and he’s also an enemy from the past. If I give up this opportunity, I won’t be myself.
Already."
As Shen Lang expected, when Shen Lang was playing with the two little guys at home, he was notified to attend the party group meeting in the bureau. Shen Lang was also in a daze after hearing this, even though he was also a member of the party group.
, but I just put my name on it. Even if I went there, I would just bring my two ears with me. Isn’t it just a joke to let myself go to the meeting? When have I ever participated in such a meeting?
Thinking about it, Shen Lang suddenly laughed. Haha, he really underestimated the relationship with Citibank. He was able to find his nominal boss, but if he thought about it carefully, it was not so strange.
, Citibank can be said to be the best-developed foreign bank in China. It has three main relationships: the People's Bank of China, the China Banking Regulatory Commission, and the State Administration of Foreign Exchange.
There are two relationships with me, one is the bank, and the other is the China Banking Regulatory Commission. The China Banking Regulatory Commission has nothing to do with me. I have never interfered in this direction. As for the bank and the State Administration of Foreign Exchange,
Is this one? Although I am on the sidelines, I still work at the State Administration of Foreign Exchange. Haha, I still underestimate their speed. Is this public relations very strong?
They were quite secretive about this! They actually found their immediate boss. Do they want to give face to their director? When he thought of this, Shen Lang called Hart over and asked directly: "
Has Citibank made any big moves recently?"
Hart also looked at Shen Lang in surprise, "The news I just received is because Kerry is not at home and Ivanov is not good at this, so the news came a little late. I heard that Abu Dhabi
The Investment Bureau is contacting them, and the plan is 10 billion U.S. dollars. As for whether it will be paid out with money, or exchanged for oil, I can’t say. I’m about to inform you. Do you think you should let them analyze it?”
Shen Lang tapped his fingers lightly on the sofa, and after thinking about it for a while, he suddenly laughed, "The old American is really good at this! 10 billion U.S. dollars? This number should be reasonable.
, and it takes a long time to mobilize such a large amount of money. In my opinion, it should be in two aspects: money and oil. There must be other transactions behind it. Hart, you said that the United States will give Abu Dhabi
What are the conditions compared to the Investment Bureau?”
Hart thought for a while and said very cautiously: "If it's just money, the United States will not give him particularly favorable conditions. They are not particularly short of the money. Although Citibank's financial situation during this period
It's a bit bad. Ten billion US dollars seems to be a big number, but at this level, the number is not particularly big. Now it depends on how much oil the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority is prepared to pay."
"Yes, this is an issue that everyone can see clearly. Ten billion U.S. dollars is not a particularly big number for Citigroup and Lao America, but if there is oil in it, it will be different. The single largest
Shareholders, do you think this condition is possible?"
After listening to Shen Lang's words, Hart also took a long breath. He was frightened by Shen Lang's prediction. As the single largest shareholder, this condition is not unfavorable! But it still made him feel like he was freezing.
Behind me, I heard my young master continue to say: "You said that if I contact the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority and give him all the billion shares in my hand, will he accept it?"
"No!" Hart said with certainty, with a very serious attitude, "Such behavior is too risky, both the United States and Citibank will hate you to death. Although this is a piece of cake, the problem is that Abu Dhabi
He wouldn’t dare to take it on than the Investment Bureau! After all, there are too many issues involved and it’s very tricky, but it would be a very interesting thing if we let some of the wind out of this aspect.”
"Haha, I think so too." Shen Lang said happily, "I'll give our director a call. It's better for me to let this news out. I think he will understand what I mean and let him know.
I go to the party group meeting, doesn’t it make me happy?”
After Hart went out, Shen Lang took out his phone and called his director directly. There was nothing implicit, but he directly said that he was not very convenient to attend the party group meeting at home.
I have some investment problems recently, and I need to make some arrangements. The main thing is Citibank's affairs. I don't have time to attend any meetings now. Shen Lang's words were quite euphemistic, but his meaning was very obvious.
In the evening, Shen Lang was just preparing to eat when his phone rang again, which made Shen Lang a little impatient. However, after looking at the caller ID, Shen Lang tilted his mouth and said,
Why did my brother call me, and how did this matter come to his head? If my prediction was correct, my brother should also be here because of what happened in the morning, but I didn’t hear that my brother had a relationship with Citibank
What does it matter?
"Brother, you don't call me often when you have nothing to do!" Shen Lang said with a smile. He and his brother didn't need to be polite. "Brother, is it because of Citibank?"
How could they find out about you? And they did it so fast, which really surprised me."
"Tch, you kid actually dares to joke with me. I'm just telling you something. You kid always has your own concerns. You can do whatever you want. I'm just embarrassed to refuse. Mainly because
My brother-in-law, he is listed as a senior executive in Citibank, and I heard he is also responsible for some projects. I am too lazy to ask him about this matter. He found me today, and he does not dare to go to you in person.
"
"Haha, no wonder, what is your sister-in-law's opinion?" Shen Lang said this because the elder brother has already explained his attitude, but now Shen Lang not only has to consider the elder brother, but also needs to consider what his sister-in-law is like.
Attitude, after all, that is her brother, and she is his brother-in-law. If this relationship cannot be handled well, it will definitely make her brother very embarrassed.
"Your sister-in-law doesn't know about this yet! Your sister-in-law has also put a lot of thought into treating my brother-in-law. You can't say that a young man has no ink in his belly, but if you really ask him to do something, this is really
I'm a little uneasy, so my family has arranged for him to hold his current position. If this was explained more clearly, it would be meaningless. After all, he is still my brother-in-law, so it's hard to say it in such a bad way."
"I understand, I have been quite depressed recently, so I want to have some fun for myself. In fact, this matter is very simple and clear. I acquired one billion shares of Citibank released by the US Treasury Department. The US Treasury
The original stock held by the department is about 30%. According to my estimation, he will release some stocks, but the holding rate should be at least 20%. What do I do with this stock?
It’s not a big deal, but they can still make me feel sick, but they’ve already come to my door now, right?”
Shen Zheng on the other side of the phone also laughed after hearing this. He really knew his brother's character very well, and he was a bit cautious about such things. "Let's see what your boy is capable of. Is there anything in this
There are other things you didn't tell me. If you only held this amount of stock, although they would feel a little disgusted, they wouldn't be so angry."
"Hey, brother, you are still smart. When I collected these stocks, I did not let the US Ministry of Finance notice it. It is a bit late for them to notice it now. I have already received the news that the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority has taken the money.
They came out and asked for Citibank shares and prepared 10 billion U.S. dollars. From my judgment, the United States should have agreed, but their goal is not money, and this amount of money is not a big figure for them?"
"Abu Dhabi Investment Authority?" Shen Zheng's voice was stunned for a moment, "Is it oil?"
"Well, that's the correct answer. This is what I'm thinking about. After all, their strongest capital is holding 10% of the world's total oil. Citigroup is inextricably linked to Cloefeller. Ten billion
The U.S. dollar is just a cover, but even if it is a cover, Citigroup
It should show some meaning. The single largest shareholder owns nearly 5% of the shares. Otherwise, Abu Dhabi will not agree to it. If this is the case, the billion shares in my hand will be more significant. They are now
This is the reason for the burning fire."
Shen Zhengzheng on the other side of the phone didn't speak for a long time. He was also a little stunned by his younger brother. You must know that his younger brother holds one billion shares. If he remembers correctly, that Citigroup
The bank's stock is worth about three dollars per share. Money is not the most important issue. The problem is that the stock is too expensive, especially at this time.
But after thinking about it again, Shen Zheng also said worriedly: "Brother, you are playing with fire! The things in your hands are very hot. The United States is not a fool, and the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority is not a fool either.
, you'd better think about this issue carefully, my brother-in-law doesn't matter, don't be emotional, blame me for talking too much about this matter, I shouldn't have told you."
"Haha." Shen Lang smiled proudly, "It doesn't matter. In fact, when things have reached this point, the level of competition has risen to a certain height. This is the end of it. I will tell you about this matter when I have time. Right
Now, give me a greeting to my sister-in-law, and my eldest nephew. I asked him if he would call me uncle now! I have been waiting for this for a long time. I went back and taught me a lesson.
Buy him candy."
