Age of Dreams

Xiao Qi will not stay in the United States for too long, and the things that should be done must be done in advance.

So after coming out of the Mexican restaurant, he didn't waste his afternoon time. Instead, he got in the waiting car outside and arrived at an underground garage on Wall Street with the bodyguards.

Originally in a place like Wall Street, there is usually no parking space at noon, but as soon as Xiao Qi’s three cars entered the garage, they were guided by a dedicated person and finally parked in an open parking space. .

Standing next to the parking space were two tall foreign middle-aged men. One was slightly fat and wearing glasses, and the other was a handsome middle-aged man, dressed very trendy.

"Kid Shao!"

Seeing Xiao Qi coming out of the car, the two greeted him quickly, still in awkward Chinese.

"Good for you two." Xiao Qi shook hands with them and smiled: "Mr. Canberra and Mr. Dagan, admire the two names for a long time!"

"Kid Shao, you're polite, what's the difference between our false name and yours?" Canbera, who wears glasses, smiled.

"Let's go upstairs and talk about it!" The handsome middle-aged Dagan waved his hand: "I can't wait to hear what new investment ideas Qi Shao has!"

"Then please!"

Xiao Qi smiled, and together with them, took the special elevator and went straight to the top floor of the building.

Every piece of land on Wall Street is an inch of gold, and it is not even possible to own an office building of your own here.

The investment bank where Canberra and Dagan work are naturally qualified.

There are five major investment banks on Wall Street: Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, Merrill Lynch, Lehman, Bear Stearns, but they cannot be said to be the world's five largest investment banks.

Among them, in addition to Goldman Sachs being the rightful number one, the top five should at least join UBS Warburg and Credit Suisse First Boston, two giant investment banks from Switzerland.

Canberra and Dagan work for Credit Suisse First Boston Bank, which is a specialized investment banking division under Credit Suisse Bank, whose headquarters is nominally located in Switzerland. But in fact the US headquarters controls everything in it.

Next to Credit Suisse First Boston Bank is the New York headquarters of Deutsche Bank, which is the same size as it, and the headquarters of JPMorgan Chase. A little later, it is Goldman Sachs. Anyway, there are financial predators around it.

Xiao Qi had an impression of Credit Suisse First Boston because it was the investment bank that had the most active contact with the Ali Baba Group in 2013. Although the Ali Baba Group underwritten such a large piece of fat, it is impossible for one investment bank to eat it. However, it is a very obvious trend for people to forcibly steal the fat from several major investment banks in the United States.

Even if it acquired the First National Bank of Boston in the United States, Credit Suisse First Boston still has a very strong Swiss atmosphere. It can take root in Wall Street, where Americans speak for themselves, and can stir up the "Alibaba Group", the "largest in history." "Their strength is also conceivable.

The rebirth of Xiao Qi is the end of 2013. At this time, the Alibaba Group has not yet been listed, but the overall trend is already obvious. Credit Suisse First Boston has fully invested in it. It is expected that the program will be launched in the second half of 2014!

With such a powerful investment bank, Xiao Qi can naturally cooperate with them.

For Xiao Qi, the sole purpose of investment banks is to help him acquire various useful companies.

As for those who frequently recommend themselves and come to recommend various financial products, they have never seen Xiao Qi.

No matter who it is, even if it is Citibank, which has the best relationship with Xiao Qi, a senior vice president wants to recommend a 123-page financial derivative product to Xiao Qi that is as complicated as the manual. He vowed to make money, but Xiao Qi only gave him one word back on the phone: "Get out!"

The later result is. Xiao Qi complained to Citibank in the form of a formal letter, causing the senior vice president to lose his job.

With so many rumors, no one dared to sell any financial products to Xiao Qi anymore. This could not help causing countless investment bankers to sigh. This is why Dagan said just now. He is going to listen to the reasons for Xiao Qi's investment ideas-usually, many wealthy people look for investment banks and want to buy some products.

But Xiao Qi doesn't care what outsiders think, he only needs to know what he wants.

Canberra is Swiss and is now the chairman of Credit Suisse First Boston. He is honest and stable, and is the first candidate to sit in the back.

Dagan is an American. He became the CEO of Credit Suisse First Boston. He has been very aggressive since his debut. In his career for more than 20 years, he has been responsible for hundreds of large and small acquisitions, mergers, investments, and reorganizations. The business is also the first contributor to Credit Suisse First Boston's strong foothold in the United States.

Sitting in the spacious and bright office, Xiao Qi drank freshly ground coffee and milk, looked at the bright street scene outside, and suddenly smiled: "Mr. Dagan, your secretary is very beautiful, more beautiful than those big stars."

"Haha, call me Weisen! I knew Qi Shao you are a fellow." Da Gan smiled very proudly, "Xie Linna took a great deal of effort to get it. But for women. The expenses are so huge, raising her is equivalent to raising a small theater troupe!"

"Well, it's a beautiful dress, isn't it all convenient for us men?" Xiao Qi shrugged, "Men don't even have this ability, so why do they hug each other?"

"Haha! It's not easy to hug the left and the right, in the United States." Dagan joked, "I think the ancient Chinese are the best. You can marry as many wives as you want!"

The two were chatting and gossiping here, while Canberra next to him just listened with a smile and didn't speak.

When I felt it was almost done, Dagan began to turn to the main topic: "Qi Shao, I received a call from Hoffman a few days ago, and I have been excited. I don't know what you are looking for in our first Boston? Could it be that we are also qualified to enter your field of vision and cooperate with you?"

"Vison, you are too modest. If Credit Suisse is incapable, who else can say that you are a successful bank?" Xiao Qi smiled: "I have a big deal to look for you."

"Big business?" Canberra's eyes lit up immediately. "It's rare, I dare not say anything else, but if you cooperate with us, there will definitely not be the bad behavior of the US investment bank, where buyers and sellers eat after eating. Credit Suisse First Boston is definitely your trusted partner!"

Dagan on the side also asked excitedly: "I don't know what kind of investment you want to make? Or what company is it to buy?"

No wonder the two are so excited.

Whether Xiao Qi asks Citigroup to help purchase, Nortel Networks, or ask Goldman Sachs to help acquire Infineon, his handwriting is very large, and the commissions given are also very sufficient, allowing Citi and Goldman Sachs to make enough money.

Helping to take the lead in buying and selling companies has always been one of the important businesses of investment banks. Of course, Credit Suisse First Boston also hopes that such fat will fall on itself.

The most important thing is that, by helping Xiao Qi, he succeeded in establishing a relationship with Xiao Qi. Then, in the future, Xiao Qi's companies will be listed. Wouldn't it be a part of Credit Suisse First Boston?

"Do you think, how difficult is it for me to buy the Sun company?" Xiao Qi didn't let them down either, he just broke such a big news.

"Sun company?"

Dagan raised his brows, "Sun who owns the ja.va programming language and operating system?"

"You are right." Xiao Qi said slightly, "I want to buy it! Do you have the ability to do this?"

"Sun has a total of 726.46 million shares. The current stock price is about US$12, and the market value is around US$8.7 billion. Do you decide to buy it at a premium?" Dagan quickly reported a lot of data, showing his terror. memory.

"How is it possible?" Xiao Qi smiled, "Don't you think its current stock price is too high?"

"Ha ha."

Dagan laughed and said nothing.

In fact, of course he knew this, saying this was just to elicit Xiao Qi's real target price.

"I hope you will pay attention to Sun Company now, and when the time is right, you can start a formal inquiry with them." Xiao Qi said harmoniously: "The price I gave Credit Suisse First Boston is as long as it can be Sun is privatized, so I will give you a commission of 200 million US dollars."

At the price, Canberra and Dagan both laughed.

The commission of 200 million US dollars is equivalent to the return they get from independent operation and listing.

Compared with the cumbersome and complicated, the acquisition of a company by itself is a piece of cake-things that do not involve government departments or securities departments will tend to be infinitely simple~www.wuxiaspot.com~So, when is the right time? When? "Dagan continued to ask.

"When I think their prices have fallen to a reasonable range," Xiao Qi said mysteriously, "Trust me, within half a year at most, our cooperation will be completed."

For the half-year guarantee given by Xiao Qi, Canberra and Dagan both nodded slightly. If they wait blindly, their various costs and efforts will continue to increase. For an investment bank, Not a good thing.

As for what price Xiao Qi would buy Sun at, they were all a little curious.

However, no matter how they guessed, they couldn’t think of it. Just a few months later, as the financial turmoil broke out and the U.S. stock market plummeted, Sun’s stock price fell to 2.59 US dollars per share, which is a market value of 1.9 billion US dollars. Since then it has plummeted by 80%! !

At that time, Xiao Qi would really make a move.

There is no reason to buy at a high price, cheap these Yankees, right? To be continued. . u
