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

Chapter 626 Empty Gloves White Wolf!
When they learned that Li Yi was planning to invest in Greene Brothers and acquire 2000 million shares of the company in one fell swoop, everyone including Zhou Xinghua, Lan Xinyi, and Cai Bingyan were stunned.

Not to mention how risky the matter itself is, just how to deal with the huge funds of [-] billion US dollars is a big problem.

You must know that almost all their money was invested in the short-selling gold plan by Li Yi. Now all the funds that can be used add up to less than 2000 million US dollars.

And the money cannot be moved at any time, because this part of the money was also invested in various stocks on the Nasdaq exchange by Li Yi.

"Boss, do you really want to invest in Green Brothers?" Lan Xinyi said.

"Yes, a preliminary agreement has been reached. As expected, the equity transfer agreement will be signed within this week!" Li Yidao.

"But...but we don't have that much money?" Lan Xinyi said.

"This acquisition will be collateralized by our earnings in the futures market, and coupled with Mr. Green's guarantee, now we don't need to pay the other party the funds to acquire the equity, as long as we transfer the funds to the other party within two months!" Li Yi said.

"Isn't the other party afraid that we will lose?" Cai Bingyan said.

"A loss is a loss. Anyway, the other party will not be able to get the money, and the contract will be automatically voided. Moreover, we still need to pay liquidated damages to them. In the end, the only one who loses is ourselves!" Li Yi said.

"Despite this, the other party's heart is still too big. Does he really believe that we will not breach the contract?" Cai Bingyan said.

"Haha, the other party is not arrogant, but because the price is too tempting for them!" Li Yi said lightly.

Greene Brothers' stock was indeed around $32 per share. Reggie Green didn't lie about this, but what he didn't say was that the price was not very stable.

Although the price of $32 per share is not the highest point in the history of Green's stock price, it is definitely the highest value in the past two years.

Especially now, affected by the Federal Reserve's interest rate hike, the stock market here has also been affected. The stock prices of major companies are falling, including Green Brothers.

Now it is just the second round of interest rate hikes. When the third round, or even the possible fourth or fifth round, you can imagine how the stock price will drop by then.

More importantly, for any listed company, the reduction of holdings by major shareholders to cash out will cause the stock price to plunge, but the magnitude of the plunge varies.

If the company's No. 32 person like Davis publicly sells his shares, it will inevitably cause the company's stock price to plummet. Therefore, no matter what they do, it will be difficult to sell at a high price of $[-].

Therefore, it is really not a loss to sell the shares in this way at this time.

"Boss, even so, the terms offered by the other party are too generous. We can get so many shares of the company without paying a penny. Is this a trap?" Lan Xinyi reminded. road.

Li Yi raised the corners of his mouth slightly, glanced at Lan Xinyi with satisfaction, and said with a smile: "Xinyi still has a strong sense of crisis!"

"I only know that there is no free lunch in the world!" Lan Xinyi said.

"It's right to think so!"

Then Li Yi changed his voice and said shockingly: "Yes, the Grimm Brothers are indeed facing a bankruptcy crisis. This is why they have to ask for help from foreign aid!"

As a giant in the future investment community, Li Yi is very familiar with the development of Green Brothers. The company encountered four bankruptcy crises on its way to its peak.

The first bankruptcy crisis was during the Great Depression in 1929. At that time, the stock market crashed here. Green Brothers, like almost all listed companies, was hit hard.The second bankruptcy crisis occurred in 1973. At that time, the company suffered heavy losses in betting interest rates, triggering a chain reaction and almost being bankrupted!
The third bankruptcy crisis occurred in the 80s. The main reason was that there were huge differences in internal opinions and serious internal struggles within the company. Although this time it was eventually subsided due to the intervention of external forces, the result was that the company was acquired by American Express and lost its right to operate independently. .

The fourth bankruptcy crisis occurred in 1994. At that time, the newly independent Greene Brothers faced a shortage of funds and a large number of debt defaults, which once caused panic among investors. The stock price plummeted and it was almost bankrupt.

And now that Reggie Green has found himself, it should be that the company is experiencing its third bankruptcy crisis, and the differences between Reggie Green and Davis are obviously not as understated as he said.

If it hadn't really reached the point where it can't be broken or established, how could Reggie Green use his own assets as a guarantee for him!

Li Yi saw this very clearly, but he also had his own Xiao Jiujiu in his heart, so he didn't expose him.

"Boss, if you know they are facing such serious problems, why do you still..."

Before Lan Xinyi could finish speaking, Li Yi interrupted her and said, "Because I need Green Brothers. If they hadn't been facing a serious crisis now, we wouldn't have had the chance to get their equity!"

At this time, Zhou Xinghua suddenly said: "Li Sheng, the price offered by the other party is a bit high. If we negotiate with you with all our strength, we can cut it off by at least one-tenth, or even more!"

"No need!" Li Yi said lightly.

"???"

Seeing everyone's confused expressions, Li Yi did not explain, but said again: "Okay, I will consider this matter myself, so don't worry about it, just go about your own business!"

After saying that, Li Yi got up and left the hall and returned to his room, leaving only Lan Xinyi, Zhou Xinghua and others looking at each other in the living room!
It's not that Li Yi didn't know that the price was too high, or that he could negotiate the price, but he didn't think it was necessary!
Because he never thought about paying for the acquisition himself!

That's right, this time he plans to fight with nothing!
Reggie Green wanted to make a fortune by shorting gold while resolving the company's crisis.

Obviously, this guy not only took a fancy to the money in his hand, but also took a fancy to Li Yi's investment ability, and wanted to have more than one fish.

So it is completely expected that once this equity transaction is completed, this guy will raise funds to short gold in a big way.

His calculation was very loud, but Li Yi was not stupid. Reggie Green wanted to use him to get out of the crisis and make a lot of money at the same time. Li Yi also had his own ideas.

Li Yi knows how big the potential of shorting gold is. The price difference of US$200 per ounce is enough for any enterprising company to make a lot of money.

More importantly, Green Brothers itself is a securities firm, and he can use 10 times or even 20 times leverage to short gold.

Coupled with Li Yi's own guidance, he will definitely make a lot of money this time.

If it is done well, the profit sharing this time alone will be enough to offset the hundreds of millions of equity acquisitions.

In other words, if nothing unexpected happens, he may very well be able to acquire the shares of Green Brothers without paying a penny this time.

It's almost free, so why bother digging for three melons and two dates with others? It's so meaningless!
