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

Chapter 625 Reggie Green’s courage!
Green Manor!

The atmosphere in the reception room on the second floor is a bit solemn!

While Li Yi was meditating, neither Reggie Green nor Li Yunbao spoke. They were each thinking about things, but their attention did not move away from Li Yi.

Suddenly, Li Yi raised his head and looked at Reggie Green, and then said in fluent English: "Mr. Green, you can invest in your company if you want me to, but you must meet my three conditions!"

Reggie Green asked hurriedly: "What are the conditions?"

"The first condition is that I can take over the shares held by Davis, but you must stay, because I don't trust anyone else except you!" Li Yidao.

"Okay, Davis and I have reached an agreement. Anyone can withdraw, as long as we ensure that the stocks in our hands will not be underpriced!" Reggie Green said.

"The second condition is that I can entrust you with full shareholder rights, giving you absolute authority in the company, but I have the right to know about the company's large investments, and if I object, you must terminate the project unconditionally!" Li Yidao.

"Li, this request is too much. This is a veto power."

Before Reggie Green could finish speaking, Li Yi interrupted him and said: "It is true that it is a veto power, but I will not abuse this power. I can use it up to three times a year. This can be written into the contract." inside!"

The main reason why Li Yi made this request was that after Green Brothers reached its peak in the millennium, it began a series of unrealistic operations, resulting in unimaginable huge losses, which ultimately laid the foundation for the company's bankruptcy. The root of the problem.

Therefore, Li Yi must have the power and means to contain Reggie Green.

This thing is like a mushroom bomb. There is a completely different thing between not having a sword and having a sword in your hand!

Reggie Green was silent for a while, and then said: "Okay, I agree to your condition, but I can only use it three times within a year, and not once more!"

Li Yi nodded and said: "I hope this one-vote veto power will never be used!"

"I think so too!"

Li Yi smiled and said again: "My third condition is not mandatory, I just hope that Green Brothers can help me invest in your country when I need it!"

Reggie Green secretly breathed a sigh of relief and immediately said: "As a shareholder of the company, you have the right to use most of the company's resources, as long as it does not harm the company's interests!"

"Now that we have reached an agreement on key issues, we can now talk about how to transfer the equity, such as the share and price, etc. I must know whether the money I invested is worthwhile!" Li Yi said.

Reggie Green immediately said: "Davis owns 1250 million shares of the company, accounting for about 20% of the company's total shares. The company's stock price is currently stable at around $32. Without a premium, you can at least It requires an investment of US$4 million!”

"In addition, there are dozens of shareholders in the Davis family, and they hold more than 800 million shares. If you have an idea, you can buy them all too!"

"So, if I want to acquire these more than 2000 million shares, I will need at least US$6.5 million?" Li Yida said.

"almost!"

Li Yi thought for a while and said: "I can accept the price, but as you know, Mr. Green, most of my funds are invested in the futures market, and it is difficult to withdraw them in a short time, so I hope this equity transfer can What do you think about leaving it to two months?"

"Li, do you mean that the international gold price will hit the bottom in two months?"

Reggie Green is such a perceptive person. He knew the connotation as soon as he heard these words.

"It may not necessarily hit the bottom. At least it will reach a relatively stable range. In view of the cost of using funds of financial institutions, it should be possible to close the network at that time!" Li Yi said.

He is not afraid of leaking secrets. Anyway, the Federal Reserve has completed two rounds of interest rate hikes, so it can be said that the overall situation is decided.

Even if others know that the international gold price will hit the bottom in two months, it doesn't matter.

What's more, Li Yi didn't tell the truth. In fact, it will be New Year's Day in more than 20 days, when the Federal Reserve will raise interest rates for the third time.

This interest rate hike will trigger a sharp plunge in international gold prices. In just a few days, the international gold price plummeted to around $270.Therefore, the time for Li Yi to close the network is not two months later, but more than a month.

Reggie Green was silent for a moment, and then said: "So, it's not too late to short gold, right?"

"It's indeed not too late, but Mr. Green, are you really ready to enter?" Li Yi looked at him with a half-smile and said.

The current international gold price is US$475 per ounce. There is still a price difference of nearly US$200 between now and when the gold price hits bottom. You can still make a lot of money by entering now.

Of course, Li Yi knows the general trend, so as long as he has money, he dares to enter the market.

But others are different. Entering the market at this time is definitely a multiple test of courage and courage for investors.

The reason is also very simple. As the Federal Reserve raises interest rates, it is inevitable that the international gold price will fall. This is no longer a secret. Therefore, the bet now is not whether the gold price will fall, but to what extent it will fall.

Therefore, if you want to sell the borrowed futures contract at a price of $475, there will definitely not be a scammer who takes over.

Unless there is a significant price reduction!

In other words, if Reggie Green wants to enter the market now, the only way is to borrow a gold futures contract from an institution at a price of $475 per ounce, and then sell it at a price much lower than this price, for example, per $450 per ounce, or less.

Only such a low price can attract speculators to take over this batch of futures contracts.

As a result, Green Brothers would suffer considerable losses in the early stage.

If the international gold price does not fall to the price at which they sell the futures contract, then their short selling will fail this time, so entering the market at this time will test the courage and courage of investors.

Reggie Green hesitated for a moment, then suddenly smiled: "If you use your earnings in the futures market as collateral, would you be willing to acquire the shares held by Davis and others in advance?"

"Oh, you can still do this. Will Davis agree to transfer his shares to me without getting the money?" Li Yi asked in surprise.

"Of course it's not possible under normal circumstances, but if I use my own assets as security, then it's no problem!" Reggie Green said.

"You used your own assets as security, why, and does that do you any good?"

"Yes, because I need you to become a shareholder of the company as soon as possible. Only in this way will you help me wholeheartedly!"

Hearing this, Li Yi understood immediately.

Obviously, Reggie Green also knew that he left some room when he spoke just now. The so-called closing of the net in two months should be enough, and he would definitely not rashly end the shorting of gold under uncertain circumstances.

Therefore, he was smart and did not continue to ask him at what price he planned to close the network, but wanted to get him to join in advance.

By then, I had become a shareholder of the company, and I had a share of the money the company made. It was impossible for me not to do my best to help them.

His so-called guarantee seems very risky, but as George's boss, Reggie Green obviously also knows that they have made nearly 20 billion US dollars in the futures market at this time.

As long as he is not too greedy, once the international gold price changes, he can still make a lot of money by closing his hands in time, so the default risk he bears is actually very low.

I have to say that Reggie Green is indeed smart and courageous.

Thinking of this, Li Yi immediately said: "Mr. Green's courage is admirable. Since you are so kind, I can only be respectful and obey your orders. I wish us a happy cooperation!"

While speaking, Li Yi extended his hand to Reggie Green!
Reggie Green immediately held Li Yi's hand tightly and said excitedly: "Happy cooperation!"
