Now that the bosses of both sides have reached an agreement on the core conditions of the negotiation, this negotiation can be said to be successful.
In such a large merger and acquisition, there are bound to be many details that need to be negotiated by both parties, but this can no longer affect the overall situation.
So the atmosphere that followed was very lively.
Each other's senior management teams simply held a celebration reception, chatting and laughing with glasses of red wine.
After some socializing, Li Kai went to his father Li Bancheng and lowered his voice and said, "Dad, is this really the deal?"
Li Bancheng said flatly: "We can't afford to delay, and Lei Man has lost patience and continues to wait. If the negotiation fails this time, they will probably contact other people."
Li Kai nodded and said, "That's true. According to the information I received from Huo Huanyu, the Huo family is ready to accept Lei Man's conditions."
Smiling, Li Bancheng said: "That's why there is a quick hand and a slow hand. While the Huo family was still hesitating, we had already captured Lei Man."
Speaking of this, Li Bancheng patted Li Kai on the shoulder and said: "This acquisition can be said to have invested all of our father and son's wealth. There must be no mistakes... In terms of funding, has it been negotiated?"
Li Kai nodded solemnly and said: "It's settled. We will use the port city and foreign assets to mortgage banks in various countries. Together with the working capital we have prepared, it will be enough to complete this acquisition."
He breathed out lightly. Even Li Bancheng's character and city were a little excited at this moment. He whispered: "This is the most important step for you and my father and son to move from Hong Kong to internationalization. I will eventually prove to everyone that
When doing business, it’s the stupidest thing to talk about emotions and feelings.”
At this moment, Doug came over with a red wine glass.
"My friend, to celebrate, how about a drink?" Doug swung his glass at Li Bancheng and said with a smile.
Li Bancheng gathered his mood, clinked wine glasses with Doug, and then the two of them took a sip. Li Bancheng smiled and said: "Chairman Doug, I hope that after the acquisition is completed, you and your team can still stay in the investment bank.
This is also the promise I made to you."
Doug shook his head and said, "No, I changed my mind. I'm tired. I've worked for so many years. I think I should spend some time with my family and children now."
As soon as these words came out, Li Bancheng's eyes narrowed.
I feel mixed emotions inside.
Fortunately, Doug was willing to give up his position as chairman, but worried that Doug gave up too decisively and suddenly. Li Bancheng, who is suspicious by nature, wondered if there was any conspiracy in this.
"Chairman Doug, you are very familiar with the business and internal situation of investment banking. I need a veteran like you to help me sort out the investment banking business as soon as possible." Li Bancheng said sincerely.
At least, his expression and tone were sincere, making it impossible to sense any other thoughts.
Doug smiled, waved his hand and said: "Li, you don't have to keep me. If I continue to serve as chairman, it will not be a good thing for you. As for my team, I will try my best to make it better."
The news of my departure was concealed until the end. How many people can be retained depends on your ability. With their help, I think you can master investment banking in the shortest time."
Smiling, Li Bancheng said half-seriously: "That's really a pity, but I respect your personal choice."
Shrugging his shoulders, Doug said inexplicably: "Li, believe me, you will never regret this acquisition."
Li Bancheng laughed and said, "I think so too."
The red wine glasses in their hands collided again, making a crisp sound, but only they knew what each other was thinking.
A few hours later, shocking news broke out in the global business community.
Li Bancheng and his son from China Port City successfully acquired Leiman Investment Bank.
As a well-known Chinese businessman company, Huang He Industrial swallowed up Leiman Investment Bank, the world's fourth largest investment bank. This merger and acquisition involving tens of billions of dollars became the largest commercial merger and acquisition in human history.
Especially in this special period when China Capital and Wall Street Capital are playing tricks on each other, this merger and acquisition case has attracted the attention of countless people.
Some people even think that this is a trial by China Capital to conduct all-round acquisitions after destroying the U.S. economy.
A great American, a great fourth-largest investment bank in the world, was actually acquired by a Chinese company.
This makes countless racists in the United States extremely uncomfortable.
In addition, Li Jin had just appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, and the appearance of Li Bancheng and his son made people exclaim that China Capital was controlling the world.
But no matter what the outside world said, the U.S. Commerce Department still approved the acquisition.
As a result, this merger of the century was officially declared successful.
While the outside world was talking a lot about this merger and acquisition, Huo Huanyu and Meng Yehe were also celebrating.
"cheers!"
Huo Huanyu laughed heartily, his face glowing red and he was in a very beautiful mood.
"Okay, the whole plan is progressing as you said. As expected, there are no problems at every step. Li Bancheng and his son seemed to have made an appointment with us, walking into the trap step by step."
"Before, I was really worried that we would not be able to get off the stage. Then Li Bancheng and his son ran away, and the stage we worked so hard to build was without the protagonist. It would be really embarrassing to leave us hanging on the stage."
Meng Yehe smiled and said: "Actually, Li Bancheng and his son had no choice."
"They are different from the Huo family, a big family with a profound heritage. The big families all have their own industries, which have been accumulated for nearly a hundred years. Li Bancheng and his son started to rise from Li Bancheng. Most of their industries are in Hong Kong City, but Hong Kong City
Both the area and the population are too small and too few, which severely restricted the development of Li Bancheng and his son."
"This problem is not just for them. Big families like your Huo family are also troubled, so everyone is seeking to develop out of Hong Kong. But the problem now is that whether it is the Hong Kong city or the mainland, Li Bancheng and his son have offended people to death. They are
There’s no going back.”
"So they can only focus on overseas. There is no problem with the asset of Leiman Investment Bank. It is just because the subprime mortgage crisis has brought them to the brink of bankruptcy. However, the heritage and foundation of the world's fourth largest investment bank are...
It’s still there, so they will inevitably eat this bait.”
"Unfortunately."
Speaking of this, Meng Yehe shook his head and said calmly: "This is poison bait."
