Rebirth 1980: Marrying my sister’s best friend at the beginning

Chapter 624 Green’s request for help!
Manhattan Island. Green Manor!

When Li Yi, who was in a meeting, heard Reggie Green coming, he immediately ended the meeting and came to the manor living room.

On the sofa in the living room, Reggie Green was looking at the stairs worriedly.

After seeing Li Yi and others walking down the stairs, Reggie Green immediately stood up and greeted them.

After a brief exchange of greetings, Reggie Green proposed that he want to talk to Li Yi alone. Li Yi naturally would not refuse. Li Yi was very grateful for the help that Li Futiao, a white friend, had provided them during this time.

Without the help of Reggie Green, Li Yi could have successfully shorted gold, but it would never have been as smooth as it is now.

In particular, Sharp Company, which Reggie Green introduced to them, not only provided Li Yi with low-price and high-quality services in this short-selling gold war, but also withstood the test when the legendary William sniped at them.

Li Yi kept these in mind.

Then the two of them, together with Li Yunbao who acted as a translator, came to a reception room on the second floor.

After the guests and hosts sat down, Li Yi said straight to the point: "Mr. Green, you didn't come here in a hurry this time to catch up with me. If you have anything to say, just tell me!"

After hearing Li Yunbao's translation, Reggie Green immediately sat up straight, and then said: "Li, I'm really sorry to disturb you. In fact, the main reason I came here this time is to ask you whether you will invest here for a long time. Thoughts?"

"Long-term investment?"

"Yes, actually I want to ask Li, do you have any idea of ​​investing in our Brothers Grimm?"

Li Yi did not answer Reggie Green's question directly, but looked at him and said: "Mr. Green, did your company encounter anything that affected its operations?"

Reggie Green thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "We are indeed in huge trouble!"

"Is it convenient to talk about it?"

Reggie Green sighed, and then said: "Actually, there was no problem with our company's operations, but the management had internal strife due to serious differences of opinion!"

"Infighting?"

"Yes, in addition to 30% of the circulating shares of our company, the remaining 70% is jointly held by more than 100 large and small shareholders, of which I personally hold 28% and am the company's largest individual shareholder, and Davis holds 20%. We are the second largest individual shareholder of the company, and the other shareholders are dependent on the two of us, so two factions have formed within the company!"

Then Reggie Green continued: "In the past few years, Davis and I have cooperated fairly well. Although there are some minor frictions, it does not affect the company's decision-making."

“However, in the past year, the differences between the two of us on some matters have become more and more intense, which has led to increasingly fierce struggles within the company, almost to the point of irreconcilability, which has seriously affected the company’s operations and development. "

After listening to Reggie Green briefly explain what happened, Li Yi looked at him again and said, "Mr. Green, do you want me to invest in your company and help you defeat Davis?"

"No, no, you have misunderstood me. I have no intention of asking you to help me defeat Davis!" Reggie Green said hurriedly.

"Then what do you mean?"

"I want you to take over the shares held by me or Davis to prevent serious differences between us from harming the interests of the company and shareholders!" Reggie Green said seriously.

Hearing this, Li Yi seemed to understand a little bit!

What Reggie Green means is that one of him and Davis is leaving Green Brothers Investment Company permanently, and now he is looking for him to be the successor to take over the shares of the person who is leaving. "Why me? I think with the performance of Green Brothers, many people on Wall Street should be willing to work in your company!"

Although the current Green Brothers Company is not as awesome as it was more than ten years ago, and it is not one of the four major investment companies of Thief Eagle, the development of their company is still not bad.

Looking at the entire Wall Street, there are definitely no more than 20 companies with good development like Green Brothers. In the eyes of those capital giants, this is definitely a piece of big fat worth acquiring at a premium.

Reggie Green knew that this matter must be explained clearly, otherwise Li Yi would never invest money. After all, as a foreigner who was unfamiliar with the place, he would never dare to easily invest so much money in someone he didn't understand at all. company's.

"Lee, it is true that there are many people throughout Wall Street waving checks and want to become shareholders of Green Brothers, preferably controlling shareholders, but neither Davis nor I like people like them!"

Then Reggie Green continued: "The two of us, who were very good friends, have reached this point because of our disagreement in business philosophy. If other people from Wall Street come in, it won't change much. We don't want to It is not in our interests, nor in the interests of the company and shareholders, to continue fighting with another person!"

Li Yi nodded and said, "Mr. Green, you haven't answered the most critical question yet. Why does that investor have to be me?"

"The reason why I chose you is mainly for two reasons. The first is that you have the ability to take over the shares held by me or Davis."

Then Reggie Green continued: "Although our company is not a first-tier large investment company and cannot be compared with JPMorgan Chase and Sharp, the company's market value still exceeds US$20 billion, and 20% of the shares is four to five A billion dollars is not something that just one person can come up with!"

"Keep talking!" Li Yi said.

Reggie Green said immediately: "Besides, you are a foreigner and cannot stay in New York for a long time! If you invest in Green Brothers, you will not take up a position within the company, but will entrust the shareholder rights to agent."

"In this way, whether Davis or I stay in the company, we can run the company according to our business philosophy. This is the best way to ensure the healthy development of the company!"

After listening to Reggie Green's explanation, Li Yi fell into deep thought.

To be honest, Reggie Green's proposal was indeed very tempting to him.

You must know that although Green Brothers Holdings is only slightly famous in New York now, in more than ten years, this company will become the fourth largest investment company in the United States, with its business covering capital market business, investment banking business and investment management business. etc.

At its peak, Green Brothers' peak market value exceeded $8000 billion, but now its market value is only over $20 billion.

In other words, as long as you invest in this company now, the future return on investment will reach an astonishing 400 times.

Although in the end the company eventually went bankrupt due to a series of problems such as investment mistakes.But before the company went bankrupt, Li Yi had countless opportunities to cash out, and this investment must have been a bloody profit.

Furthermore, as New York is a global economic center, Li Yi will definitely come here frequently to invest in the stock market or futures market in the future.

After all, there will be many opportunities to make money here in the future, and Li Yi will definitely not want to miss it.

Therefore, he needs a reliable ally to help him.

But in the capital market, no one is absolutely reliable, unless it is one of your own.

Therefore, before coming here, Li Yi thought about whether he should set up an investment company here. The company established by himself would definitely be reliable.

However, the cycle of setting up a company by yourself is too long, and it takes too much energy. Since there is a ready-made company now, why bother to set up a new company by yourself.

After all, you are borrowing a chicken to lay eggs, so why bother with which chicken you are borrowing?
Thinking of this, Li Yi immediately made a decision in his heart
