Age of Dreams

Without hesitation, Morak found an excuse and ran to John Thain's office.

Since taking office, John, who has not slept peacefully, frowned when he saw his son, who only knew how to be idle, and didn't give him a good look.

But when Morak was like a thief, he said that when he met Xiao Qi today and sold him three high-quality assets under Merrill Lynch, Thain's expression kept changing.

Seeing that the old man did not get angry, Morak knew that he was also tempted, and quickly said with a shy smile: "Father, did you say Xiao Qi asked me to go tonight, or call you? This guy is really true, and he doesn't speak at all. clear."

"Nonsense, only fools like you can make a mistake." Saien scolded his son: "He said that you haven't met each other, do you want to invite you to talk about business? And you think you are qualified to drink champagne with Xiao Qi Are you too dear to yourself?"

Being belittled by his father, Morak did not feel angry at all, because as long as Saienken spoke, it proved that he had listened to his heart.

"Dad, look at Merrill Lynch’s broken appearance, even if it can be saved, there is nothing wrong with it. If you don’t think about me, you should also consider your retirement life?" Morakot said: "Xiao Qi has always been generous in his shots. What kind of company to buy, the money for the middleman is enough. If you play a role this time, then I believe you will receive more than me, at least a suitcase."

While speaking, Morak took out the big envelope in his pocket and handed it to Thain.

Thain looked at the bearer treasury bond inside, nodded, and then returned it to his son.

Morakot put the big envelope back in his arms, and said in agitatedly: "There is a value of 500,000 in it. I just gave him a message and I got so much. Daddy, think about it! If you have contributed to such a large number of pens Business. Can we get the sky-high rebate of hundreds of millions of dollars?"

"Billions?" Thain laughed blankly, "Billions of you! If Xiao Qi wants to buy shares in these companies, it's useless to open up my relationship. He still needs public relations for a lot of things, and it costs too much! It’s pretty good to be able to get what we have, 30 million US dollars!"

"Only 30 million?" Morak was disappointed.

"Don't think this is less." Thain looked at his son. I said a few more words: "Now when the company is in the midst of wind and rain, it is fortunate to have this money in the pocket. You should know that for a bankrupt company, the severance pay of the senior management is subject to the supervision of the Federal Court. Yes, much less than this!"

"But what if we help Xiao Qi lower the price?" Morakot didn't understand at all. "For example, shares of Bloomberg News and shares of Black Rock Group have a certain bargaining range, right?"

"Well, if that's the case. There should be an increase." Thain said lightly: "But I can't say how much I can do. I can only watch it later. You have to remember that there will be such things in the future. , You must be cautious, making money is not the most important thing, the most important thing is not to take yourself into it!"

"I know." Morak said with a smile on his jaw: "Father, do you think I'm so naive? Didn't I also leave Sam aside this time and meet Xiao Qi quietly?"

"If you didn't do that. I wouldn't tell you so much today." Thain nodded in relief, and he also had a hint of appreciation for his son in his heart. I think I can train him in the future.

"Today I will go home first, and then you will drive me over." Thain couldn't help but exhorted: "You must not tell others, whether it is successful or unsuccessful, this matter will rot in your stomach! Otherwise! Even if things leak, Xiao Qi doesn't know if there is anything, but we will definitely go to jail. Understand?"

"I see."

Morakot said excitedly and solemnly.

"One more thing, if things leak out..." Thain continued: "You must remember that you don't know anything! Everything has nothing to do with you."

"Father..." Morak couldn't help but said, "It wouldn't be that dangerous, would it?"

"Regardless of whether it is dangerous or not, you have to remember this anyway!" Thain smiled and looked at his son and said: "You are still young. You can't be planted here."

"Ok!"

Morak looked at Thain, his eyes full of respect and gratitude to his father.

...

The most prosperous area in New York is Manhattan. This narrow island corridor is densely packed with countless world-class companies. Therefore, many apartments here are also prepared for the executives of these companies, many of which are very expensive.

The small apartment house of this high-end apartment that Taylor rented before has already been bought by her with her own record dividend.

It’s just that with Xiao Qi’s baby in her belly, it’s no longer appropriate to live in this kind of small house in the future. Gave him his small apartment.

The bodyguards stayed nearby, chatting in low voices, most of which were from New York.

Unlike the bodyguards who came last time, they have changed a group this time. After all, there are still not many opportunities for Chinese people to go abroad. You still have to change it. Everyone will come out to see and it will be fair.

Xiao Qi gave them a very generous business trip subsidy. When they went abroad, it was basically 1,000 US dollars a day, which was enough for them to buy a lot of things to send back to their family and friends.

Yu Shanshan supervises the finance department. She didn't say anything about Xiao Qi's generosity and as a wife. After all, those people followed her husband out, and they had to block guns when necessary. They wouldn't give you generous treatment. Who would want to sell your life?

However, the specific staff can't help but sigh. I knew I would go to learn martial arts and join the army. I would go out with the little boss, and the subsidy for a week would be at least two or three months' salary!

In fact, the bodyguards themselves have heard such rumors, but seeing that Xiao Qi has never wavered, their hearts are settled. Since the little boss is so generously gifted, it is at best to fill in the life when it is dangerous. Hello.

Xiao Qi drank green tea by himself, and continued to think about what he had been thinking about all afternoon.

As one of the largest securities and financial investment banks in the world, Merrill Lynch has no idea how many assets it holds. Although its apparent stock market value is as high as 44 billion U.S. dollars, the capital it controls overtly and secretly is already close to this. number.

Otherwise, they have lost more than 20 billion U.S. dollars in the past two years. If there is no inventory, where can the money come to make up for the write-down of assets?

Xiao Qi is very interested in the three assets mentioned by Morakot today, but the financial data company is the dish of the Middle Easterners. If Xiao Qi insists on fighting for it, I am afraid that he will be severely attacked, even if it is Some gains outweigh the gains.

So if the target is reduced a bit, then Bloomberg News and Black Rock Group can be locked in.

After Bloomberg News gets it, not only can it get more financial intelligence, but also enjoy the appreciation of assets brought about by the continuous development of Bloomberg News. It can be regarded as a super fine asset, and it can be regarded as the second of the Xiao family. Core assets exist.

However, if only one of the three can be selected, Xiao Qi will choose the Black Rock Group.

Not only because Blackrock Group is the world’s largest asset management company, it has a very elite management team and financial team, but also because it is a subsidiary of the Blackstone Group. The Blackstone Group dreams of investing in the Blackrock Group again, or simply two. And then merge into one company.

If Xiao Qi can hold 49.8% of the shares of the Black Rock Group in his hands, then he will be the largest shareholder of the Black Rock Group, and he will be directly eligible to negotiate with the Black Rock Group at that time, and if the Black Rock Group wants to buy the shares of the Black Rock Group If they do, then they can only exchange their shares with cash. I believe that, in their eyes, the shares of the Black Rock Group are definitely more important than the shares of the Color!

In this way, Xiao Qi's **** shares can be increased to 60%, and then it will be easier whether it is acquisition or capital injection.

To put it bluntly, no matter how valuable the wealth of these American companies is, it is not as important as Xiao Qi's pleasing Meiji's wife.

While thinking about it, the doorbell rang.

The bodyguard first glanced at the cat's eye, then took a look at the photo in the magazine, and then opened the door.

John Thain, who was slightly rich, looked inside with a smile, and saw the teenager standing in the living room.

"Qing Shao! I didn't think we met under this situation!" Shaking hands with Xiao Qi~www.readwn.com~ Saien said with emotion.

When Xiao Qi was in the gambling business, he pitted a lot of people, but only Goldman Sachs and Merrill Lynch fell into Xiao Qi's hands twice in a row, losing close to US$2 billion.

If it were normal, a loss of US$2 billion would not be a big deal, but the 1 billion bet on oil that expired on December 31 last year actually severely damaged investors’ confidence in Merrill Lynch, which led to Merrill’s situation. Exacerbate deterioration.

It stands to reason that the people at Merrill Lynch should hate Xiao Qi, but Thain only became a firefighting expert in December last year, so he did not hate Xiao Qi, but admired Xiao Qi's success in pulling his teeth several times in a row. This kind of amazing genius is absolutely impossible to achieve!

At the same time, now, he is also thankful that he has not participated in Xiao Qi's previous bet that the price of oil must reach 150 US dollars. Otherwise, looking at the current oil price close to 140 US dollars, it would be another tragedy of giving Xiao Qi food. . ——Of course, he is not the only one who is fortunate. In fact, all the companies that have had this idea but did not implement it in the end are celebrating with champagne.

This also shows how terrifying deterrence Xiao Qi has in oil futures. (To be continued
