If a lobbying company wants to lobby for the passage of a bill, it will take at least several months of preparation.
And if you want to acquire high-quality assets of a company, you will have to spend at least a month slowly grinding it out.
But the time Xiao Qi gave Carrillo Consulting Company was only two weeks at most, which made all their senior officials feel a sense of urgency.
Fortunately, Xiao Qi provided them with detailed preference information of the seven partners and directors, and coupled with Carrillo Consulting's own intelligence reserves, they were finally not in such a hurry.
Of course, Xiao Qi asked several female bodyguards to copy this information again before giving it to them. The reason was of course not to expose Thain.
In addition, Tong Wencong broke into the secret fund account of Carrillo Consulting Company through several secret accounts that night. Under the huge temptation of money, Carrillo Consulting Company specially organized a most powerful group of dozens of people.
The lobbying and public relations team began to lobby Merrill Lynch’s senior management and the board of directors of Black Rock Group.
It's not that Xiao Qi didn't want to give them more time. In the past history, Merrill Lynch basically sold 20% of Bloomberg's shares and 37% of the financial data company's shares in mid-July. Unexpectedly
There was no end to this, and in the end it was acquired and merged, which made Bank of America cheaper.
During this period, there were reasons for time constraints, the hole problem of a huge loss of about US$5 billion in the second quarter, and the lobbying work of Bloomberg and others.
It is conceivable that as Merrill Lynch gradually released the news, many companies have now begun lobbying work.
But Xiao Qi has a big advantage, that is, he knows what he should buy and what he must get, so his determination and strength are not bad at all. He is definitely much more determined and powerful than others.
Everyone is engaged in lobbying, public relations, and bribery, so naturally there will be no scandals - such people who betray the tacit understanding are usually cast aside by the entire circle.
But Xiao Qi still tried his best to be cautious. After all, there were only advantages and no disadvantages to doing so.
In the next few days, Xiao Qi leisurely accompanied Tang Mingxiang and Taylor. Sometimes he went to the beach to play, sometimes he went to the park, or he watched a movie in the small theater in the manor... Although it was very dull, it was very interesting.
It was so cozy that Taylor couldn't bear to move out of Tang Mingxiang's manor and go back to live alone.
Xiao Qi is not so naive and thinks that they are completely connected.
These two girls are as good as sisters. An important reason is that they are both pregnant with babies and have no meat to eat. And Xiao Qi's other non-pregnant wife is not around, so they can live in peace, otherwise nothing will happen.
Some are petty.
With this experience, Xiao Qi decided that after going back, he must pay more attention and take care of their emotions. Don't make pregnant mothers angry. It is best to be like Tang Mingxiang and Taylor now.
Leaving aside this matter, there was no progress in the acquisition lobbying, and Xiao Qi was the first to receive bad news.
That was Oracle's board of directors, which once again rejected Xiao Qi's share swap agreement.
There are two reasons.
The first is that Xiao Qi’s asking price was too high, and they felt that they would be at a disadvantage if they exchanged it.
The second is that dreampad 2 is a new product, and it remains to be seen how it will perform. To put it bluntly, they suspect that dreampad 2 is not as popular as dreampad.
The last reason is the main reason why Oracle refused. Even with Ellison's successful experience in front of them, they did not dare to bet.
Ellison himself has no intention of buying Dreampad's shares. Because he doesn't have much cash, and Oracle's shares are the basis for his control of the company, and he is reluctant to sell more.
Regarding this result, Xiao Qi burst into laughter.
It seems that if Oracle didn't have Ellison at the helm, they would be just an ordinary company. Both their vision and courage are just average.
This also highlights the general discrimination and distrust of Asians in the European and American business circles.
Dreampad is successful, Dreamstars is also successful, but they still don't believe Dreampad 2 can be successful.
If they don't buy it, it's their loss, and Xiao Qi won't feel sorry for them.
As for if he wants to get Oracle's shares, there is actually a simple way, which is to take advantage of the financial crisis and directly acquire them in the market.
Now Oracle's stock price is basically around 25 US dollars. Xiao Qi remembers that starting in October, for half a year, their stock price has been hovering below 20 US dollars, and once fell below 14 US dollars. It seems that they didn't buy anything at that time.
.
It doesn’t need to be too much, just about 10%. Although it will cost about 6.8 billion US dollars including commissions and other things, its future growth rate will be higher than that of Bloomberg, and it is also worth holding.
Calculating the time, it was almost ten days since Chen Yulian came out. Although she didn't say anything, Xiao Qi knew that her mother missed her father. It was the first time she had been out for so long, and she was always worried about Xiao Xu being alone.
I can't take good care of myself at home.
Anyway, Chen Yulian had nothing to do here, so Xiao Qi mentioned it to Tang Mingxiang and Taylor, and the two daughters-in-law ran to Chen Yulian. After talking about it, they quickly persuaded Chen Yulian to leave her alone.
Go back first.
Ahem.
To be unfilial, Tang Mingxiang and little Taylor both felt that it was okay for their mother-in-law to go back, as long as their husbands were here to accompany her.
After all, there is such a big age difference, and there is a generation gap in thought and behavior. Tang Mingxiang grew up in Chinese culture, so she doesn't feel it, but little Taylor feels that she is often controlled by others and is not allowed to do this or that. It's really
A kind of pain.
So when he returned from seeing Chen Yulian off from the airport, Taylor made an exception and poured himself a glass of beer, drinking it in small sips with joy.
You know, this behavior of drinking is absolutely unacceptable in Chen Yulian's opinion, so even if Taylor doesn't drink beer on weekdays,
Early the next morning, Xiao Qi, who was sleeping between his two wives, felt extremely proud.
When Chen Yulian was here, Xiao Qi had no chance to sleep with them, even if he didn't do anything. So last night Xiao Qi simply put his two wives on the bed and slept with them under a big quilt.
Facts have proved that as long as there is love in the heart, even if you don't do anything, you can still have a sweet and warm sleep when you sleep - not only Xiao Qi's face is smiling, but the two expectant mothers are also smiling slightly in their sleep.
Since Tang Mingxiang and Taylor became pregnant, although it is only more than a month ago, they have obviously become much sleepier and must sleep more than 12 hours a day. This is completely different from their previous living habits.
After finishing the exercise, eating the steamed buns and soy milk made by the female bodyguards themselves, and facing the early morning sunlight, Xiao Qi felt that such a day was no different from that in China.
Of course, there are actually differences.
At least in China, it is impossible for Xiao Qi to have such enthusiastic neighbors.
"Hi, Xiao Qi, are your wives here?" The young man who was sitting in the garden reading the newspaper heard such a careless greeting.
Looking up, Xiao Qi saw a girl wearing a simple T-shirt and jeans, striding over.
She is Larry Ellison's youngest daughter Megan. Ever since Xiao Qi mentioned it to her that day, she actually came to Xiao Qi's house and got along well with Tang Mingxiang and Taylor, so
During this period, I came here to report almost every day.
Xiao Qi also hopes that his two wives can have more good friends, so he welcomes her.
"They are still sleeping." Xiao Qi smiled, "How about you sit down and drink a glass of juice first?"
"The juice is not good, let's have a cup of coffee!" Megan sat down opposite Xiao Qi unceremoniously, "I said that apart from the shortcoming of having more wives, you are actually pretty good. You don't drink or smoke, so no
You go to nightclubs, don't go to parties, and you're not particular about food and drink... Among the rich people I know, you have the best conduct."
"That's what I think too." Xiao Qi is never polite in front of foreigners, "But Miss Megan, I have to criticize you. Look at the movies you chose! They are all weird and weird.
, aren’t you asking my wives to pay for it?”
"Tch! That's because you don't understand art!" Meghan didn't feel that she was in front of the world's richest man who was even more powerful than her father. "Art does not exist to please others. We should appreciate the deeper meaning of expression.
Not just a popcorn movie and a ketchup movie."
Popcorn movies refer to blockbusters with popular special effects, which are the movies her brother likes to invest in.
The Ketchup Movie refers specifically to the horror film series, which has countless fans in the United States.
, that is, countless directors have made movies with very strong personal styles according to their own ideas, and the famous "Two Smoking Barrels" is one of them.
It's okay for her to like it, but somehow, she managed to convince Tang Mingxiang and Taylor, and then the three of them each contributed 20 million U.S. dollars to establish a company called "Hope Pictures" specifically to invest in films.
Talented director and movie, and the CEO of Hope Pictures is the 22-year-old girl sitting in front of Xiao Qi.
Seeing her encouraging his wives to do money-losing business, Xiao Qi just made fun of her and did not stop her.
First of all, because Tang Mingxiang and Taylor both have their own ideas, Xiao Qi is usually not willing to interfere with them, as long as they think they can do it.
, but Xiao Qi has not forgotten that Meghan will have dozens or even hundreds of Oscar nominations in the future. With this halo, it is also a good thing for the two wives to improve their reputation! (Unfinished)
