Age of Dreams

Xiao Qi has always been a person who just thought of it. Before David and Sam returned to the United States, he contacted Legrie at the headquarters of Goldman Sachs in the United States, one of the senior partners of Goldman Sachs, and asked him to come to China. A trip to the country.

The relationship between Xiao Qi and Goldman Sachs is not an enemy, but it is definitely not a friend.

At least Xiao Qi made money on Goldman Sachs twice, which made countless Goldman Sachs managers hate it.

But they had to admire Xiao Qi's unparalleled foresight and Xiao Qi's ability to make money and innovate.

Countless Goldman Sachs managers are looking forward to cooperating with Xiao Qi in order to share a piece of Xiao Qi's wealth feast.

Xiao Qi's acquisition of Infineon and Qimonda, which were close to US$10 billion in Europe, was handled by Xiao Qi entrusted by Goldman Sachs. They did it well, and they also received a return of no less than US$500 million.

Legri is the one who handles this matter.

Speaking of Legri, many people probably don't remember. He was the first time Xiao Qi and Goldman Sachs bet on oil and came to Chengdu to find Xiao Qi, the vice president of Goldman Sachs Asia who terminated the betting contract early.

At that time, he and Merrill Lynch's Compass, became everyone's laughing stock.

But two years have passed. The Compass, who has been scolding against Xiao Qi, has become a member of the laid-off army after Merrill Lynch was acquired by Bank of America, and has always had a positive attitude of cooperating with Xiao Qi. Legry, however, received Xiao Qi's appreciation and entrusted him to take full responsibility for the acquisition of Infineon and Qimonda, which directly established his reputation in Goldman Sachs and gained a lot of profits.

Xiao Qi likes to find acquaintances to do things because it is convenient and they also understand Xiao Qi's needs. Xiao Qi's goal can be reached the fastest and best.

The work of acquiring Marvel is simple and simple, and complicated and complicated.

The simple point is that as long as you have money, if you keep smashing it down, sooner or later Marvel will not be able to stand it. Sell ​​Marvel directly to Xiao Qi.

But the complexity is that this negotiation is very energy-intensive. It requires a mature team to start long-term and arduous negotiations with Marvel, and the team must be prestigious, experienced, and capable, just like a lobbying team. You have to be tough to fulfill the difficult requirements of your employer.

Don't look at Goldman Sachs in the eyes of ordinary people, it is simply a combination of a group of **** that can't be worse, but they are in the American capital circle and the American financial circle. But it has a huge reputation and a very good reputation.

Reputation is not the same as reputation.

Goldman Sachs can be infamous, but they definitely want to guarantee their credibility.

As long as you leave things to me Goldman Sachs, then I Goldman Sachs will do it for you.

I get a generous return after it is done, and that is what it should be.

I apologize for losing money if I don't do it well, this is a matter of course.

That's why so many acquisitions have been related to Goldman Sachs, so why is it after the financial crisis? Everyone is fighting against Goldman Sachs, but Goldman Sachs is very high-profile to give each employee a high bonus. This is a manifestation of people's confidence and strength.

Xiao Qi certainly doesn't like Goldman Sachs. In the decades since Goldman Sachs reformed, reformed and opened up in China, I don't know how many times it has entrapped Chinese enterprises, so Xiao Qi has also entrapped them many times.

But this does not prevent Xiao Qi from using Goldman Sachs, because Goldman Sachs is capable, refreshing and very timely.

On the morning of the third day, Legri arrived at the reception room of the Fairy Company in vigor and stood in front of the window. Looking at the buildings of the Fairy Company, Legri was full of emotion.

"Unexpectedly. I came to Chengdu for the first time, and Fairy Company was just a new force. Now it has become a decisive giant in the world's intelligent electronics industry. You have such a talent, you are really a talented wizard!" Legri praised it in earnest.

"No matter how talented you are, there is no guarantee that my children and grandchildren will be like me." Xiao Qi smiled and said, "Come on, have a cup of coffee, this is produced by Caiyun here, and Nestlé will sell it under another name. The price is double the price, and the taste is pretty good."

Many people know that multinational companies purchase excellent raw materials in underdeveloped countries, and sell them at high prices through their brand packaging. Many people know it, and Legry is the same.

He sat down, took a sip with a smile, and nodded: "Well, the taste is very pure, not inferior to Colombian coffee."

Xiao Qi said with a slight jaw, "Caiyun is a good place. It can produce one of the most famous tea in China, but also produce coffee. It also has the most natural beauty in the world. You can take your family on vacation if you have the opportunity. ."

"I took it down." Legri shrugged. "But it may be my wife and children who have this opportunity. I will not have this kind of hesitation until I retire."

Goldman Sachs is very profitable, especially as a senior partner, get even more.

But the pressure on them is also extremely high. People who are not the smartest group in the world are not up to the task. Even the smartest group of people in the world cannot guarantee that there will be failures. At that time, bankruptcy was a trivial matter. There are serious ones.

Xiao Qi didn't have the time to care about their troubles. He was thinking about harmful things all day long. It would be strange if God didn't punish them.

"Received your request from Qi Shao, my team has already begun the preliminary preparations. I will report to you now." Legri hadn't finished a cup of coffee, so he couldn't wait to talk about work.

"Okay." Xiao Qi waved his hand.

"Marvel Comics is a 69-year-old comic company and the second largest comic company in the United States. They have created more than 100 comic hero images and have influenced generations of young people in the United States. Various comics are being published, affecting young people.

However, the development of Marvel comics over the years has lagged behind its old rival comics, even their "Fantastic Four", "Spiderman", "X-Men" and other series have been put on the screen. But it is still not as good as the comics with Time Warner as the backer. In this situation, they expanded aggressively in the past few years, wanted to work **** peripheral property rights, and wanted to develop on hero live-action movies, but in the end they expanded too quickly and various resources could not keep up.

According to our judgment, it is mainly the limitation of computer technology. The fierce fighting scenes and magnificent scenes of these heroic characters in Marvel comics cannot be expressed. And this trend will slowly change with the development of imax and 3d technology, which may make Marvel comics attract a spring.

The senior level of Marvel Comics also judged this way. So even if the current situation is so bad, they are still struggling to support it. Waiting for the cinematic spring of hero comics. And the shares held by their managers exceed 50%, that is to say, there is no way to buy them if you don't touch them. "

After a pause, Legrie said again: "So. It's very difficult for you to acquire Marvel Comics. It's a very good challenge."

Xiao Qi said faintly: "If it is not difficult, I would not think of using your Goldman Sachs company. No matter Citi, Credit Suisse First Boston. Or Green Pine Capital, you can do it. But I believe that in this regard, you Goldman Sachs is the most professional and best!"

Legri smiled confidently: "Thank you Qi Shao for the compliment. In fact, we think so. I think this breakthrough should be the minor troubles that Marvel Comics has encountered recently."

"Little trouble?"

"Yes, it's a little trouble at the moment, but if Goldman Sachs intervenes, I don't know if it will become a big trouble." Legri laughed and said: "Marvel and the three major film companies have been in Making hero movies. Their hearts are too big, they are not willing to just sell the copyright to get a certain profit, but invest their own money.

But they are a comics company. How much can it be? Therefore, a lot of their money is pooled from various sources, either from bank loans or borrowed from private individuals. This money may not be a big deal in the ordinary, but if you encounter someone who wants to run it a little bit, I am afraid that their loan will be called back. "

Xiao Qi understood, Legri still used the usual Goldman Sachs strategy. First directly suppress Marvel's stock price, and then slowly negotiate to lower the price.

According to the ability of Goldman Sachs to make waves. In addition, the current environment is so bad that Marvel can't resist it at all. It's inevitable to be upset.

"So, how much money do you need?" Xiao Qi said directly, "I want the fastest speed, and money is not a problem."

In December 2009, Avatar turned out to tell people how dazzling the effects of imax and 3d are, which completely opened the era of computer stunts, and the heroes of Marvel finally have their abilities.

Xiao Qi can't wait until that time to complete the negotiations. At that time, Marvel's shareholders can say that they will not sell Marvel at all.

Legrie didn't know Xiao Qi's plan, but he admired Xiao Qi's generous acquisition of clients like this.

"Unlike Infineon, which is in crisis, Marvel's foundation is still very strong, so we need more steps to operate." Legley said: "Counting all kinds of operations, plus the lobbying and lobbying of board members I estimate that it will cost 300 million U.S. dollars to buy it. In this way, I can guarantee that Marvel will be taken down by June next year!"

"500 million, won by March next year at the latest!" Xiao Qi did not agree with his idea, "Marvel, I am willing to offer up to 5 billion US dollars in cash!"

Disney won Marvel in December 2009 at a price of 4.24 billion US dollars ~ www.readwn.com ~ in the form of shares and cash.

The reason why Xiao Qi is much higher than them is because Little Taylor acquired it in his own name, which is completely different from the acquisition by Disney in the name of the company.

Backed by Disney, it can still grow and grow, but it can be bought by a private person, so these shareholders will be suspicious.

For this reason, they can only use large sums of money to smash them down to make their hearts move.

Legrie swallowed his saliva and was obviously shocked by Xiao Qi's big hand.

I've seen a rich man, I've seen a lot of money, but I've never seen such a bold!

After a long time, he nodded heavily: "As you wish, Qi Shao, we have accepted this acquisition commission!!" To be continued

ps: I went home for the New Year, but it was sunny in Sichuan during this time, and it was getting hot near the Spring Festival. Xiucai wore a coat and sweater to go out today, but I saw that many people were wearing shirts...
