Chapter 459 Acquisition of Hanjin Holdings, Vodafone’s request for help

Miracle Group, meeting room.

Chen Daojun, Wu Shixian, Rachel and others were facing the video equipment, while on the opposite side of the camera were George, Eric and two young staff members of the Beautiful Country Goldman Sachs Group.

"BOSS, in accordance with your instructions, we have begun to absorb Hanjin Holdings Group's stocks. However, many of Hanjin Holdings Group's stocks are in the hands of other investment institutions. It may be difficult to take them away from them. .”

"Eric, you might as well tell Chen directly that the ones holding Hanjin Holdings Group's stocks are Lehman Brothers, Merrill Lynch and JPMorgan Chase! Except for Morgan, Lehman Brothers and Merrill Lynch have no relationship with us now. But it’s very bad!” George joked from the side.

The reason Eric thinks it will be difficult is because Lehman Brothers and Merrill Lynch were cheated by their Goldman Sachs Group before, allowing them to take over high positions in the investment field of the Internet industry, and suffered heavy losses!

"Ahem, where is James? I didn't see him today. Is there something that delayed me?" Chen Daojun had an idea and quickly thought of a corresponding solution. However, James, the CEO of Goldman Sachs Group, is not here to implement the plan now. , it’s a bit tricky.

……

"James has been feeling unwell for the past two days, and he went to the hospital for an examination. He is 77 years old this year, and his physical condition has declined a lot compared to the previous two years..." Speaking of James, George couldn't help feeling a little bit sad, although the previous CEOs of Goldman Sachs Group have all He is an old-timer in the financial industry, and he is quite old.

But James is very happy to work with them. If possible, of course I hope that the senior will be healthy and be able to cooperate with them for a few more years.After all, it’s not always possible to find senior figures at Goldman Sachs who are so in tune with each other!
"...Then let him have a good rest this time and won't bother him." Although it was a bit regretful, for Chen Daojun, although this matter was a bit troublesome, without James, he had other options.

"George, please help me contact Bruce and tell him that I have something to do with the Morgan Group. Make an appointment for me and ask him to come to the Goldman Sachs Group and we can chat remotely via video."

"That's no problem. Then the old fox called James before and asked about our recent investment plans? If he knew you had new ideas, he would definitely be happy to help!" George said happily.

"By the way, how is Leyan's investment company doing now?" Chen Daojun asked casually.

"An investment company has been established, and that kid has recruited many talented staff from many investment companies. They are looking for potential companies for early investment." Speaking of Leyan, the nephew who was brought up by him, George Very satisfied.

"That's good! How about giving him the task of contacting and negotiating with Merrill Lynch and Lehman Brothers. If Goldman Sachs doesn't deal with them, there's no need to come forward!" Chen Daojun pondered for a while and quickly came up with the idea. new way.

"...Boss, I'm afraid this won't work, right? I went to Lehman Brothers, Bank of Merrill Lynch and Bear Stearns to sell the shares of those Internet companies. Le Yan went there with me. If Le Yan is held responsible, I'm afraid Lei Yan Neither Mann Brothers nor Merrill Lynch will let him go!"

George was a little worried about Chen Daojun's proposal. After all, he went to Lehman Brothers and Merrill Lynch one after another. God knows if they would fight against them because of impulse!
……

Chen Daojun said with a smile, "George, don't worry. Now that Leyan has left Goldman Sachs Group, the entanglement between Goldman Sachs Group and these two institutions has nothing to do with him."

"And they should be short of money now, right? Leyan is the 'savior' who brought them a lot of cash! The stocks of Hanjin Holding Group are nothing but useless to the two of them. They need a lot of money now. Funding helps them get through difficult times.”

George was relieved by Chen Daojun's analysis, and then smiled happily, "If that's the case, then let Le Yan be the 'savior'!"

……

Seeing that the matter regarding Hanjin Holdings Group was finalized, when Chen Daojun and others were preparing to tidy up and end the meeting, George across the camera seemed to have remembered something important and quickly said, "Chen, wait a moment. There is one more thing. Son, I want to ask your opinion!"

"Vodafone, the communications giant in Europe, contacted us at Goldman Sachs Group not long ago. They wanted to acquire Orange last year to expand their salary scale, but the Mannesmann company of Hans Country got the first step!"

"This time they want to get the help of our Goldman Sachs Group to defeat Mannesmann Company in one fell swoop and take back Orange Company!"

"A battle for grabbing oranges?" Chen Daojun was stunned for a moment, and then quickly realized that there was a follow-up to last year's battle for grabbing oranges!

Naturally, the powerful Vodafone will not allow the Hans-based Mannesmann Company to jump out and snatch what is in its pocket, and then compete with itself for European market share.We must strike hard as soon as possible to regain the Orange company and firmly stabilize our position as the number one telecommunications giant in Europe!
"...Mannesmann's market value is very high, it should be close to 2000 billion US dollars, right? Does Vodafone have enough funds to win this battle?" Chen Daojun did not answer directly, but asked a key question. .

Shopping malls are like battlefields, and commercial mergers and acquisitions largely depend on the capital reserves of both parties. The party with more sufficient capital reserves will often have the last laugh.

"Of course Vodafone can't afford so much money, otherwise it wouldn't come to our Goldman Sachs Group for help!" George smiled confidently. Although the market value of their Goldman Sachs Group is not even among the top ten companies in the world, in terms of cash flow, The degree of abundance, their Goldman Sachs Group is definitely among the best!
"Since this is the case, let them take out enough collateral in exchange for the loan funds! After all, investment is risky. Regardless of whether their acquisition of Mannesmann Company succeeds or fails, the funds we borrowed may be short-lived. I won't be able to take it back in a while!"

"In order to avoid bad debts, we always have to prepare for the worst case scenario if the other party fails to repay the loan!" Chen Daojun said calmly. Although he had known for a long time that Vodafone would successfully take over Mannesmann in the end, the subsequent disputes that arose There are also many problems.

In response to Chen Daojun's reminder, George nodded in agreement.After all, this is a "war" involving two telecommunications giants with assets of more than [-] billion US dollars. If they are not careful, their investment by Goldman Sachs Group may be in big trouble.
