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

Chapter 627 Dress up as a pig and eat a tiger?

Reggie Green acted very quickly. In just two days, the relevant matters for the equity transfer were prepared.

During this period, Li Yi was invited to meet with Davis, the second largest shareholder of Green Brothers, another protagonist of this equity transaction.

The two parties had a detailed conversation on matters related to the equity transfer. The core was of course the price and transaction method, etc.!
After all, this equity transfer is different from other transactions. Li Yi simply can't get so much money now, so he has to pay on credit first.

Although there are guarantees from his earnings in the futures market and Reggie Green's worth, there is still a certain risk for Davis.

The only thing that makes Davis excited is that the price offered by Li Yi is still very exciting. $32 per share is already very high.

After unanimous negotiation between the two parties, Li Yi finally decided to acquire full rights to 4 million Green Brothers shares from Davis for a total price of US$1250 million, with a par value equivalent to US$32 per share.

In addition, with the help of Reggie Green and Davis, the company's other 38 shareholders were also willing to transfer nearly 850 million shares to Li Yi at the same price.

However, since all Li Yi's funds were tied up in the futures market and could not be withdrawn for a while, the two parties made a special agreement on the transaction method:

First of all, this transaction adopts the method of transaction first and settlement later. Within two months after the signing of the equity transfer agreement, Li Yi paid all 6.73 million transaction funds to various shareholders, large and small, and the transaction was successfully completed.

If Li Yi cannot complete the delivery of funds within two months, the transaction will be automatically cancelled, and Li Yi will be required to pay 20% of the total contract price as liquidated damages.

In order to ensure the interests of both parties, this transaction is fully guaranteed by Reggie Green with all his own assets.

If Li Yi cannot continue to perform the contract, Reggie Green and Li Yi will jointly bear the liability for breach of contract.

Moreover, before all transaction funds are delivered to each original shareholder, Li Yi has no right to dispose of the acquired shares, including sales, mortgages, etc.

After reaching a consensus, signing the contract was put on the agenda.

On the morning of November 11, Li Yi, Davis and others formally signed an equity transfer agreement at the headquarters of Green Brothers.

At this point, Li Yi acquired 6.72% of Gray Brothers' shares for US$29 million, becoming the company's largest individual shareholder.

Of course, it is limited by the company's regulations, and the shares in Li Yi's hands do not meet the standards of holding.

Therefore, even though Li Yi is already the company's largest private shareholder, he still cannot replace Reggie Green's position in the company.

Fortunately, Li Yi really has no intention of replacing Reggie Green!
On the one hand, his roots are not here, and it is impossible for him to travel thousands of miles to be the CEO of the company.

On the other hand, compared to him, a foreigner, Reggie Green, a local snake, is obviously more suitable for the position of CEO of the company.

Although he did not have control over the company, after the signing of the agreement, Li Yi officially became a shareholder of Green Brothers. He also had the right to share the company's income and dividends, which was what Li Yi valued.

After the agreement was signed, news quickly spread throughout Wall Street.

After learning that the largest shareholder of Green Brothers had changed hands, and that both parties to the transaction had guaranteed delayed payment, Wall Street elites were stunned.

Some people say that Davis and others took too many risks, but others say that Li Yi suffered a big loss this time and will definitely regret it in the future.

All in all, say it all!

However, while there is a lot of talk outside, both buyers and sellers are keeping a low profile.

Whether it is Li Yi or Davis and others who sold their shares, have they come forward to respond to this matter? It seems that nothing has happened, and at the same time it seems that they are holding back some big move!
Wall Street. Greene Brothers!

After signing the equity transfer agreement, Li Yi was retained by Reggie Green, saying that he had something to discuss with him.

Li Yi knew that this guy must be talking about shorting gold, so he was very active. Then he and Li Yunbao followed Reggie Green to his office.

When he came to Reggie Green's office again, Li Yi's mentality was completely different.

I remember that when he came here a month ago, he was a guest, but now he is the host.The change in identity was so great that even a well-informed person like Li Yi couldn't help but sigh.

After several people sat down across a small round table, Reggie Green immediately said happily: "Li, congratulations on becoming a shareholder of Green Brothers. I hope we can cooperate with each other to develop the company into the greatest company on Wall Street! "

Without waiting for Li Yunbao to translate, Li Yi said directly: "I can't guarantee whether Greene Brothers can become the greatest company on Wall Street, but what is certain is that in the future, Greene Brothers will definitely become the largest company in terms of market capitalization on Wall Street and even in the United States. The highest company!"

Listening to Li Yi's standard London accent, Reggie Green was stunned.

After being stunned for a while, he said with a shocked look on his face: "Li, do you know English?"

"Yes!"

"Then why do you still need to carry a translator with you?" Reggie Green asked in confusion.

After asking this question, Reggie Green felt a little regretful, mainly because the question was really stupid.

The answer is too obvious. It is obvious that the person in front of me did this deliberately to make people relax their vigilance.

After all, an investor who can’t even understand or speak English is too easy to ignore.

For example, he himself approached Li Yi because he thought he didn't understand English and it would be easy to fool him as a shareholder of the company!
Although this is not entirely the reason, it is certainly a reason.

But he never expected that the other party not only understood English, but was also so proficient in it, which made Reggie Green couldn't help but tremble in his heart.

The other party's secrets were too deep. I didn't know whether it was a blessing or a curse to introduce such a thoughtful person into the company.

Li Yi glanced at Reggie Green, then smiled and said, "Mr. Green, don't you think it's a cool thing to have a professional lawyer as a translator?"

Reggie Green shook his head and said: "Li, you asked him to be your translator, you shouldn't be trying to be cool, right? In the words of the Chinese, this is called showing the enemy one's weakness and concealing the truth, pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger."

"I didn't expect Mr. Green to know about our secrets?" Li Yi said with a smile.

"I have read your "36 Strategies", but I just read it, but you have applied it in actual combat. I don't know if I am right or wrong to find you now!" Reggie Green said with a wry smile. .

"Mr. Green, it won't take long before you will be proud of your choice today, I promise!" Li Yi said.

"hope so!"

Then Reggie Green took a deep breath and said again: "Li, since you are now the company's largest shareholder, let me formally ask you a question, okay?"

"You want to ask if there is still a chance to enter the market to short gold now?"

"Correct!"

Then Reggie Green continued: "Some time ago, the company lost a lot of money in investment due to the differences between Davis and I. It is almost the end of the year. If we can't make up for the losses as soon as possible, next year's I’m afraid the financial report will be very ugly!”

Li Yi was silent for a moment, and then said with a solemn expression: "You can enter!"

"Then how much money do you think is appropriate for us to invest?" Reggie Green asked again.

“How much capital can the company allocate now?”

"The company still has 12 billion US dollars on its books. In addition, it can recover US$4 million by selling stocks in the short term. Moreover, our company has a good reputation with banks and can borrow no more than 5 million US dollars at any time!" Reggie. Green replied.

"Put it all in!" Li Yi said in an astonishing voice.

As soon as these words came out, Reggie Green was stunned!
