Xiao Qi only stayed in South Korea for three days before getting on a plane to the United States.
Korean Air's service standards and safety factors in recent years are much better than those after its major expansion a few years later.
Not to mention anything else, the flight attendants on the plane are very beautiful.
Although I don’t know if she is an artificial beauty, I am not marrying her to have children at home. I am just admiring her, so there is no need to delve into it so deeply.
Xiao Qi was traveling in luxury first class.
Xiao Qi is never that particular when going out on weekdays, but on the plane, he is the most particular.
Because Xiao Qi is very prone to airsickness. If he doesn't fall asleep for half an hour after getting on the plane, flying will basically be like a nightmare and very painful.
However, every time he flew from Asia to the United States, the flight took more than ten hours, so Xiao Qi felt even more uncomfortable.
Fortunately, now that Lu Qin is helping him train and strengthen his body, Xiao Qi's physical condition has improved a lot, so he drank some wine after waking up along the way and then went back to sleep.
The beautiful flight attendants on the plane originally wanted to chat more with the most handsome young man in the first class cabin to see if they could become friends. Maybe there would be opportunities for further development, but they were rich in experience and could not.
It was obvious that Xiao Qi was a person who suffered from airsickness. He couldn't cheer up at all on the plane, so he had no choice but to give up.
Although I will get airsick, if it is my own plane, the environment and comfort should be much better.
It's a pity that China is not allowed to own private jets yet. If you buy one, you can only put it in the name of the company. In the future, Boss Xu, Ma Yun, Wang Shoufu, etc. will all do this.
There is actually no problem in doing this, especially since Xiao Qi owns the Fairy Company itself, so there will be no disputes or accusations.
Money to buy a plane is not a problem. Regardless of family, who else in the world is richer than Xiao Qi?
The problem is that China has very strict control over aircraft, especially private aircraft. Basically, it is very troublesome for you to apply for a route. There is no way to make domestic flights fast and convenient. Often, you can apply several days in advance and you can’t catch up.
time.
If it is only used to fly overseas routes, it would be too wasteful, so Xiao Qi's plan to buy an airplane has always been empty.
Talk less.
When Xiao Qi came to the United States this time, his first stop was not New York, but California.
Naturally, I came here to meet Gang Leader Qiao.
It happened to be evening, and Xiao Qi went directly to Gang Leader Qiao's house for dinner.
"Why are you so rude?" Gang Leader Qiao was still complaining while eating. "We Americans have to seriously mention it when we visit our friends' homes. It would be better for you to say before you get on the plane that you want to come over for dinner. Even if
Did you say hello?"
"I said, Lao Qiao, don't be so particular. You can do the same thing next time you go to my house." Xiao Qi raised his knife and fork with a smile and said to Mrs. Qiao: "Lauren. Thank you for your hospitality, Xiaoyang.
The steak tastes great!”
"Haha. If you like you, eat more." Lauren smiled slightly, "As for the person next to me, you don't need to worry about him, he is just like that! But if he is not a good friend, he will not complain, but will
Just scare you off with my eyes. Haha!"
Gang Leader Qiao looked at his wife helplessly and simply stopped talking to avoid being complained about again.
Xiao Qi watched him eating and asked smoothly, "Before I came over, our College of Traditional Chinese Medicine over there specifically asked me to convey their gratitude. Your donation of 10 million US dollars has been received, and they will make further progress.
Increase investment in traditional Chinese medicine in our country and strive to train better doctors."
"Well, speaking of which, I should also thank you." Gang Leader Qiao stopped using the knife and fork, raised his head and said: "My physical examinations in the past two years have been almost the same as normal people. Although the hospital believes that there are still hidden dangers, but I can
On the basis of not damaging the organs, there is no problem if we continue to maintain the body like this and treat it gently."
"Yeah, you don't know how happy I am now." Lauren said excitedly: "Originally, doctors in the United States said that his body would not be able to support him for a few years, but with the care of traditional Chinese medicine, he not only
His physical condition has improved a lot, and even his energy and spirit have become much stronger. Several old gentlemen have said that if he continues to receive treatment and maintenance like this, he will have no problem living in good health for another twenty years! Thank God! Thank them! Also
Thank you, Mr. Xiao!"
"The most important thing in Chinese medicine is to coexist with the disease." Xiao Qidao, "But Stephen actively cooperated with the treatment and his own efforts also played a big role."
Gang Leader Qiao sighed a little when he heard this.
The skills of several masters of traditional Chinese medicine are really superb, but there are many taboos, such as prohibiting anger, irregular sleep, some inappropriate diets, and the need to drink bitter Chinese medicine, and acupuncture treatment is indispensable...
As a result, he can only work up to 8 hours a day, which is really uncomfortable for him as a workaholic.
But he is not a ungrateful person. As he gets older, his sense of responsibility for the family has also increased. Moreover, if he can live for a few more decades, he can continue to fight Xiao Qi and defeat the Fairy Company. This is shorter than him.
It is much better to burn your life to work in just a few years.
After dinner, Lauren made a cup of oolong tea for Xiao Qi and a cup of herbal tea specially prepared by the master of traditional Chinese medicine for Gang Leader Qiao, and then closed the door of the study.
"Tell me, you must have some kind of conspiracy when you come here? Just be honest and don't beat around the bush." Gang Leader Qiao asked while drinking herbal tea.
"Look what you said, we are friends, aren't we? Can't I just come as a guest?" Xiao Qi said with a smile.
"I don't believe it." Gang Leader Qiao shook his head, "Let me guess! There seems to be some action on Disney's side recently. It is said that mysterious capital is acquiring their stocks. Some shareholders and executives of Disney are also revealing that there is a super
Rich people are interested in Disney, they are not talking about you, right?"
Gang Leader Qiao has always known about Xiao Qi's interest in Disney.
As Disney's largest individual shareholder, he previously helped Xiao Qi acquire 10% of Disney's shares.
Disney is a super large group company. Although the actual price has now dropped to a super low price of 48 billion U.S. dollars, if someone really wants to buy in large quantities, the price will definitely not be so low. The acquisition price will be at least 60 billion.
Around US dollars.
After all, Disney's profitability is good and it is a high-quality stock that can be held for a long time. If you want others to sell it, you can only buy it at a premium.
There are not many rich people and companies who can spend so much money, especially in such a financial crisis environment.
Haven't you seen that the Middle Eastern oil tycoons, who have always been wealthy, have recently reduced their investment?
So after seeing that it was the Blackstone Group that was helping the middleman, after thinking about it, Gang Leader Qiao felt that it was probably Xiao Qi who was doing the acquisition this time.
Because Xiao Qi originally likes to buy companies, especially those that are meaningful, to preserve the value of his assets.
To be honest, Gang Leader Qiao was a little disdainful of Xiao Qi's distraction, but he had to admit that even under such circumstances, Fairy Company was still able to stabilize Apple, so he had to work harder.
OK.
Faced with Gang Leader Qiao's question, Xiao Qi smiled and nodded: "Yes, Stephen, I was the one who initiated the acquisition of Disney."
Gang leader Qiao said in confusion: "Why did you buy Disney? It has nothing to do with your main industry, right? Do you think doing everything will help your family industry develop? Too much involvement in unfamiliar fields, this is
The way to defeat, right?”
"Of course I have my own use for buying it, and I like the elite business model of professional managers in the United States, which will let them do things in many aspects." Xiao Qi said, "Stephen, since you guessed that I want to buy Disney,
Then you have guessed why I came to find you, right?"
Gang Leader Qiao adjusted his glasses with his hand, "What price do you offer?"
He is quite direct.
Knowing that Xiao Qi wanted the 7.7% Disney shares he held, he could naturally ask about the price first.
"In cash, I will give you 4.5 billion U.S. dollars. If you are willing, the 5 billion U.S. dollars you borrowed from me can be written off in one go." Xiao Qi said eloquently: "If you want shares in Apple, then we can easily discuss it.
.”
Gang Leader Qiao was stunned and said after a long time: "You are so generous."
Xiao Qi knew that he was not talking about financial generosity, but that Xiao Qi directly offered him a bargaining chip that he could not refuse, which was to exchange for shares of Apple.
What does Gang Leader Qiao care about most in this life?
Isn’t it the Apple company that he founded and developed with his own hands?
For a tyrant like him who has a particularly serious idea of monopoly, after being kicked out once and entering Apple for the second time, he has the idea of controlling a large number of Apple shares, so that he can speak for himself.
Therefore, he borrowed more than 10 billion US dollars last time and directly acquired 20% of Apple's shares in one fell swoop, shocking the entire American technology industry.
But this 20% is not his own, it is all obtained by borrowing money. Even if Apple's stock price has increased significantly, Gang Leader Qiao can only retain about 13% at most. Adding in his own 0.59% of the shares, it is still
Seems a little thin.
But if Xiao Qi is willing to give 10% of his shares in Apple to Gang Leader Qiao, then he will have almost 23% of Apple shares in his hand. Coupled with Gang Leader Qiao’s status and prestige in Apple, there will definitely be no more.
Necessary constraints!
After much thought, Gang Leader Qiao finally made a decision: "I can give you the Disney stock, but you have to agree to one condition!" (To be continued.)
