"Citibank has agreed to sell me 20% of its shares in Chord Girl for 4 billion U.S. dollars." Xiao Qi didn't wait for him to think more, and directly repeated what he said to Bobby: "I'll give it to you.
The calculation is 3.6 billion US dollars, which is enough to be a good friend."
Schwartzman frowned.
The next moment, he reacted faster than Bobby.
Good guy!
I really don’t feel bad about selling someone else’s house!
After Jabil came to power, he was really ruthless in purging his enemies!
Although his price is obviously very irrational and abnormal, it is an agreed price after all, and it is a real one.
So on the other hand, this price will indeed drive down the price of the sexy girl in the hands of Blackstone Group.
It cost almost US$7.2 billion to buy it, but it was sold for 50% of the price. This business was extremely inferior to Blackstone Group.
But Schwartzman is not a person without vision and courage. It is not possible for the sexy girl to sell it at the original price. The only difference is how much the loss is, and how much benefit can be obtained by relying on the stock transaction of the sexy girl.
.
Therefore, he immediately remembered the benefits of doing so.
The first is to get rid of the sexy girl who is constantly losing money. The loss of tens of millions of dollars every month is indeed a huge burden. Even if it can start to make profits in one or two years, the problem is that in these one or two years
Cultivating the market is not something Blackstone Group can afford.
In the era of financial crisis, who is not trying to survive?
The choro girl is now a low-quality asset. After selling it, not only can you get rid of losses, but you can also get a large amount of cash.
The second benefit is that if you sell Cho Girl's shares to Xiao Qi, Xiao Qi will promise not to participate in the purchase and sale of Black Rock Group's shares, which is a good thing for the merger of the two groups.
Even if the Blackstone Group gave Xiao Qi such a favor, it would not be impossible to obtain a part of the mortgage loan from Xiao Qi.
Thinking of this, Schwarzman immediately said to Xiao Qi: "Qi Shao, it is not impossible to sell you 15% of Cho Girl's shares for 3.6 billion US dollars. But I have three requirements. I hope you can agree.
.”
Xiao Qi was stunned. He didn't expect him to be so cheerful. "Stephen, we are friends. When I do business with you, I naturally hope for a happy outcome. Just tell me. I will agree to whatever I can."
Schwarzman nodded slightly and said: "First point, for the selling price of 3.6 billion, we need cash."
"Okay." Xiao Qi was unambiguous and agreed without thinking.
"Second point, you should no longer participate in the stock trading of Black Rock Group." Swartzman continued to pursue the victory.
"Okay." Xiao Qi did not agree immediately this time, but pretended to think about it for a while before slowly speaking out his decision.
Swartzman was truly relieved. With this promise, he could explain it to his partners. As for his teacher and friend Peterson, he would not object.
"Finally, I have one more request." Schwarzman relaxed a little, but his tone was very sincere and solemn: "If we want to borrow a sum of money from Mr. Qi, we don't know how much we can borrow."
If Schwartzman can be persuaded to borrow money, it won't be 100 million or 200 million.
Xiao Qi thought for a while and asked: "Do you want to borrow money to acquire shares of Merrill Lynch?"
"yes."
Schwarzman nodded without hesitation: "Originally, we planned to wait until Merrill Lynch collapsed before we jointly purchased the shares of Black Rock Group. But if you intervene like this, even if you retreat, others may come.
Fighting for it. Instead of doing this, it is better for us to directly take over your class, Qi Shao, and buy it in advance, so that there will be a lot less twists and turns."
Xiao Qi laughed in his heart.
What does it mean to avoid setbacks and troubles? In fact, after being warned, you don’t dare to take advantage anymore?
Merrill Lynch can go bankrupt, but not now, nor can it lose too much. This is a tacit understanding on Wall Street.
Moreover, the matter is so big now that Blackstone Group and Black Rock Group can only calm the anger of the giants on Wall Street and better calm the anger of investors by directly spending money to acquire shares.
Due to various reasons, Blackstone Group and Black Rock Group are now gritting their teeth and crying, and have no choice but to acquire the shares of Black Rock Group from Merrill Lynch.
If they hadn't been in urgent need of funds, Cho Sex Girl's shares wouldn't have changed hands so easily.
Xiao Qi is naturally rich.
In addition to allocating 5 billion US dollars to Sun Zhenyilai to suppress and acquire Fast Retailing Co., Ltd., excluding the 10 billion US dollars for the acquisition of Citigroup and Green Pine Capital, Xiao Qi still has more than 45 billion US dollars in cash, enough for him to complete 3
Acquisition of 49.8% shares of Black Rock Group.
But the problem is that Xiao Qi has saved the money for so long, and even withstood the strong pressure from China's financial management department, and has been unwilling to convert the tens of billions of dollars in his hands into RMB. It is not used to provide relief to others, but
It was for his big acquisitions during the financial crisis.
Skype, Yahoo, Disney, Freescale, Hong Kong Guoxin Bank... Wait, which acquisition does not require large amounts of capital?
Especially in the era when the financial crisis is about to break out, if you have cash in your hand, you are the boss. The effect of just throwing it out is much more powerful than those who spend several years to pay the money.
Therefore, it is completely uneconomical for Xiao Qi to lend money to Blackstone Group.
However, Blackstone Group has strong connections in the United States, which is why it offended the entire Wall Street this time, so the situation is so embarrassing. At another time, especially when the merger of Blackstone Group and Black Rock Group is unstoppable, their future strength will be
It will be even bigger and can completely serve as an acquisition partner of Xiao Qi.
Considering the good reputation of Blackstone Group, Xiao Qi also felt that it would not be a bad idea to form a good relationship with them.
Giving help in times of need is far better than adding icing on the cake.
Amidst Swartzman's anxiety, Xiao Qi finally spoke: "How much money do you need? How to mortgage it and how to repay it?"
"I hope to use the shares of our Hilton Hotel Group as collateral to borrow 5 billion US dollars from you. The expected repayment is completed in three years, and the annual interest is 7%. Qishao, what do you think?" Swartzman said quickly
Made his own plans.
Wall Street's dismantling of funds, involving large amounts, all depends on the identity and strength of the borrowing company.
For example, the last time three Russian oil companies lent $20 billion to Xiao Qi, the annual interest rate was 15%, which is very high.
As for Blackstone Group's borrowing of US$5 billion, 7% is already a relatively high interest rate. If banks such as Citigroup, Bank of America, and Wells Fargo are not tight now, an interest rate of 5% is not impossible.
Although 5 billion US dollars is a bit much, don't forget that Xiao Qi's Dreampad 2 and Dreamstars are still attracting money continuously. In a few months, Xiao Qi's cash flow will increase significantly to make up for the 5 billion US dollars gap.
It's a piece of cake.
Moreover, the young man still has some supply funds with a time lag in his hand, and he can still use at least 10 billion US dollars at a critical moment. For emergencies, it is enough.
However, Xiao Qi cannot agree so easily. The easier it is to get something, the less likely it is to cherish it, and it does not reflect Xiao Qi's help in times of need.
"Five billion US dollars is a little more, let me think about it again." Xiao Qi solemnly said to Schwartzman: "In three days, whether you borrow it or not, I will definitely give you an answer."
"Okay, I'll wait for news from you, Qi Shao, at any time."
Swartzman knew that it was indeed a bit hasty for Xiao Qi to decide on such a large amount of loan so quickly. Three days was not long, and both Blackstone Group and Black Rock Group could afford to wait.
What's more, Schwartzman and Peterson's initial hopes were not placed on Xiao Qi.
In addition to the cash from the erotic girl's sale, they also sought help from European banks. Xiao Qi's side was just Schwartzman's last thought.
Whether they can get the best or not, it will not have a major impact on their plans.
"After I go back, I will complete the share transfer agreement for Cho Girl. The price will be based on the US$3.6 billion you mentioned, Mr. Qi." Before leaving, Schwartzman said without forgetting: "But we really need it.
Please ask Qi Shao Duoduo for help with this cash."
"Don't worry, the money will be in your account within 24 hours after signing the agreement." Xiao Qi hesitated and said: "But we'd better keep this transaction secret for the time being. As for the money, you can find it wherever you like.
It’s an excuse. Cho Girl’s shares are ostensibly still stored in your Blackstone Group.”
"Can."
Schwarzman knew what Xiao Qi meant and agreed after thinking about it.
After seeing him off, Xiao Qi couldn't help but wave his fist.
Green Pine’s 25% today, Citibank’s 20%, and Blackstone’s 15% add up to 60%!
The remaining people who acquired the shares of Cho Sex Girl are not Xiao Qi’s enemies.
If Xiao Qi wanted to repurchase it in good faith, he would definitely be able to repurchase it 100% at the original price of 80%.
If Xiao Qi wants to buy back at a cheaper price, he only has to wait a few more months. When the financial crisis hits, everything will become much easier!
No wonder some people say that disaster is a bad thing for some people, but it may be a good thing for others.
It just depends on where everyone stands! (To be continued...)
