Chapter 413 413 Twenty billion dollars is really not much!

  Wang Guanxi looked at Ford Ingrid who was surprised, and nodded with a smile: "Yes, Miss Ford"

  He didn't expect that after he became the largest rancher in Ohio, so many people knew about it.

  This should be contributed by the Wall Street media. After all, Wang Guanxi’s Heishirt Investment Bank, which is a subsidiary of the Heishirt Group, is well-known on Wall Street.

   is known as an oriental crocodile, it is very eye-catching, traffic, and it can bring traffic to Wall Street media.

  The thing that Wang Guanxi did not expect is that Ford Ingrid also pays attention to the largest rancher in Ohio.

  The Ford family is also a very famous family in the United States. Although the wealth is not top-notch, it is famous and well-known because of the Ford Motor Company.

  Wang Guanxi is also very curious about this family. Ford Ingrid in front of him is also a great beauty, and he is counted as a person of the same age.

Ford Ingrid took a deep breath and said, "You are so amazing. When I saw on the news that 30,000 acres of large ranchers appeared in Ohio, I thought it was an old man. I didn't expect to be so young. You How is it done?"

  As a peer of the same age, after hearing Wang Guanxi’s personal confirmation at this moment, her heart became even more messy, and she felt that she was far behind him. How did he do it?

  Wang Guanxi smiled and said: "Miss Ford, this is not a big deal, I'm just lucky, I'm a financier"

  Ford Ingrid asked: "Do you open a lot of banks? Huntington Bank is yours, right?"

  Now the family business of the Ford family has a lot of debts and lacks a lot of money, and the banks are constantly collecting debts. I don’t know if the boss of Huntington Bank is the young man in front of him?

  Wang Guanxi: "I bought Huntington Bank and Silicon Valley Bank. I specialize in stocks, and then I bought Silicon Valley Bank and Huntington Bank."

Ford Ingrid: "Wow, you're so amazing. I suddenly remembered an Oriental financial company. It shorted many Wall Street companies, Lehman Brothers, Washington Mutual Bank, AIG Group, and the media are all talking about Oriental predators. , What is the name of the company called black, black, black..."

  She couldn’t remember the name of that financial company for a while,

  Wang Guanxi said: “Heishan Group, which has Heishan Investment Bank and Heishan Insurance Company under its subsidiary, is my company in Hong Kong!”

Ford Ingrid exclaimed: "So you are the oriental crocodile mentioned by the Wall Street media. You are so powerful. You have shorted so many major Wall Street companies, Lehman Brothers, and Washington Mutual Bank. "

  Wang Guanxi smiled and said, “Miss Ford, I’m just lucky. Lehman Brothers and Washington Mutual Bank were not short-selling and bankrupt.”

  Ford Ingrid spoke up: "Just call me Ingrid, Miss Ford, my eardrums are broken."

   "Okay, Ingrid" and the two chatted, and then Wang Guanxi invited her to dinner together.

  Everyone was eating Angus beef at dinner, and Wang Guanxi asked, "Miss Ford, why didn't your father Mr. Bill Ford come to my ranch?"

  Ford Ingrid asked: "My father is very busy and is not free to come, please don't mind Mr. Wang"

   After thinking about it, she asked again: "By the way, are you planning to acquire control of Ford?"

Although the Ford Family Foundation only holds 3.3% of Ford Motor Company’s stock, these 3.3% of the shares are all Class B shares and have super voting rights. This 3.3% of the shares occupy 40% of Ford Motor Company’s voting rights. Their Ford family still firmly controls Ford.

Wang Guanxi smiled and said: "I do have this idea. Ford Motor Company is facing a serious crisis and needs a lot of funds. In my eyes, it is a great company. I don't want it to close down during the financial crisis. , Causing a lot of unemployment. I told your father Mr. Bill Ford to buy control of Ford Motor Company at three times the price, but your father didn’t agree."

  He was willing to buy the Ford family's control of Ford Motor Company at three times the price, but Bill Ford would not agree.

  However, Wang Guanxi is very eager to control Ford Motor Company, even if it is 4 times or 5 times the price, he is also willing.

He needs the great influence of Ford Motor Company, which affects the employment, economy, and politics of the United States, especially hundreds of thousands of employees. Branches, large and small, can generate a lot of interest chains to support politicians and their relatives and children. They are all good platforms for conveying benefits and gaining benefits.

  In particular, such a large company is essential for Wang Guanxi’s future Crown Consortium. There are not a few Fortune 500 companies in the world, so how can they dare to be called a consortium?

  And Wang Guanxi intends to use Ford Motor Company to defeat Tata Motors, the Tata Consortium of India!

  Ford Ingrid smiled and said: "Ford Motor Company is the honor of our Ford family. My father is a man who values ​​honor very much. Ford Motor Company is the hard work of his life. He has always wanted to restore the glory of Ford Motor Company to the past!"

   "Before my aunt proposed to sell the control of Ford, but my father resolved the objection!"

  Ford Motor Company is the glory of the Ford family. They will not sell the control of Ford Company. Of course, if Ford Company goes bankrupt, let it be another matter.

  After all, Ford Motor Company’s rival, General Motors, may be going bankrupt. Although it is not bankrupt yet, it is already on the way.

  And the Ford family is trying their best to save the Ford Motor Company.

  At this time, Wang Guanxi suddenly said: "Ingrid, what about my four times the price?"

  In this crisis, Ford’s CEO Alan Mulally made a bold move, turned the tide, made major reforms, and saved Ford.

  Ford Ingrid was taken aback for a moment, and asked in astonishment: "Buying control of Ford at four times the market price?"

At present, the Ford Family Foundation holds 3.3% of the equity. Ford’s share capital is 3.992 billion shares, and the stock price is US$1.8 per share. This 3.3% of Class B shares, a total of 131 million Class B shares, is worth US$237 million, which is 4 times The price, that is 948 million US dollars.

  These 131 million Class B shares control 40% of Ford Motor Company’s voting rights and firmly control the company.

  Wang Guanxi nodded: "Well, at four times the price, buy your family's control of Ford Motor Company, and any member of your family can serve as the senior management of Ford Motor Company in the future."

  Ford’s shares are divided into two types: ordinary Class A shares, each with one voting right, held by public investors; and B shares, held by the Ford family, with super voting rights.

According to the company's articles of association, as long as the Ford family holds no less than 60.7 million B shares, they have 40% of the voting rights; if the Ford family holds between 33.7-60.7 million B shares, vote The weight is 30%; if the number of B shares is less than 33.7 million shares, the B shares will be equivalent to ordinary shares, with one share for one vote.

  Although they only hold 3.3% of the company’s shares, the Ford family still owns 40% of the voting rights.

  Wang Guanxi now wants to buy these 40% of the voting rights and control Ford Motor Company.

Ford Motor Company is one of the world’s top 500 companies with huge influence. It is now on the verge of bankruptcy. But Wang Guanxi knows that General Motors is bankrupt, while Ford Motor Company is not. CEO Alan Mulally turned the tide and made major reforms. The sale brought the Ford Motor Company back from the brink of bankruptcy.

  If you buy control of Ford Motor Company when the market value of Ford Motor Company is at its lowest at this moment, it is undoubtedly a big treasure.

  Wang Guanxi does not expect the value of these equity to increase much. What he wants is this Fortune 500 company, and what he wants is its huge influence.

  Using the huge platform of Ford Motor Company, began to penetrate the American economy, employment, and politics.

  One of the world’s top 500 companies, there are so many downstream companies, the number of suppliers is countless, and its own employees are hundreds of thousands. It affects the jobs and destiny of many people.

  Ford Ingrid seriously asked: "Do you really plan to use four times the price?"

  Wang Guanxi nodded: "Yes, at four times the price, you will get nearly $1 billion in funds!"

  The Ford Family Foundation sold the Ford Motor Company’s stock to 3.3%, cashing out a lot of funds, but the Ford Family Foundation’s investment performance elsewhere was mediocre.

   "Now your Ford Family Foundation has suffered serious losses in the financial crisis and needs funds. This 1 billion US dollars is a very large amount of money."

  Ford Ingrid took a deep breath when he heard it. The $1 billion was a great temptation.

   is all cash, which can solve many problems of the Ford Family Foundation.

  And his father Bill Ford was also miserably trapped in the financial market.

  "Mr. Wang, let me ask my father." Ford Ingrid called his father Bill Ford and said to buy control of Ford Motor Company at four times the price.

  But Bill Ford still disagrees.

   said directly to Wang Guanxi on the phone:

  "Mr. Wang, I will not sell the equity of Ford Motor Company. This is a century-old company of our family, and an honor of our family!"

   "Even if Ford Motor Company went bankrupt this time, I will not sell it"

  Bill Ford’s attitude is extremely determined.

  Wang Guanxi is also helpless. TM's are all four times the price, and Bill Ford still doesn't sell it.

   So Wang Guanxi said: "Then I will buy your control of Ford Motor Company at 5 times the price. Members of your family can still serve as senior executives in Ford Motor Company, and you will be the honorary chairman."

  Bill Ford froze for a moment, and said with a very firm attitude: "Mr. Wang, it is impossible. I will not sell the control of Ford Motor Company!"

   "Even if you pay 10 times the price, it is impossible"

  Wang Guanxi had no choice but to say: "Well, Mr. Bill Ford, if you regret later, you can call me at any time."

  Bill Ford: "Mr. Wang, I will not regret it, even if the Ford Motor Company goes bankrupt, I will not sell the control of the company!"

   "You still have to die this heart!"

  Then the call ends.

  Wang Guanxi said to Ford Ingrid: "Your father is so stubborn. He refused to sell the company's control at 5 times the price."

Ford Ingrid smiled and said: "My father is like this. He is very stubborn and attaches great importance to honor. He served in the U.S. Navy when he was young. Last year, he should talk to my aunt because of the control of Ford Motor Company. There was a big quarrel over whether to sell."

  Actually, Ford Ingrid did not value Ford Motor Company as much as her father. The sense of honor was not as strong as that of his father. She actually understood her aunt's thoughts.

  She does not support the sale of control of Ford Motor Company, nor does she oppose the sale of control of Ford Motor Company.

  "Mr. Wang, what my father said, don’t mind, Ford Motor Company is like a child to him. To him, it is priceless."

  “Yes” Wang Guanxi thought for a while, then suddenly asked: “Ingrid, have you graduated from college?”

  Ford Ingrid said: “No, I’m going to school and doing an internship at the family foundation”

  "I usually study financial investment, but it is difficult to make money, and I don’t know how you made so much money."

  The Ford Family Foundation mainly invests in bonds, stocks, and venture capital investments, but the results are average.

  She found that these financial investments are particularly difficult to make money.

  This year the Ford Foundation suffered a terrible loss.

  After two days of chatting on financial investment for half an hour, she admired Wang Guanxi,

  Wang Guanxi smiled and said: "Ingrid, I am only talented in financial stocks, and each has its own strengths."

  Ford Ingrid said: "You are really a financial genius. You are now the largest rancher in Ohio, and the owner of Huntington Bank and Silicon Valley Bank. There is also a large financial group in Hong Kong. You are amazing!"

  Wang Guanxi smiled faintly: "I was just lucky to make a little money."

  Ford Ingrid asked curiously: "Then how much money have you made recently?"

  She estimated that it was at least 2 billion dollars, right?

  Wang Guanxi thought for a while and said, "It's about 20 billion dollars, it's not much."

  Ford Ingrid was shocked suddenly, a storm surged in his heart, his small mouth opened lightly, his beautiful eyes widened, and he looked at Wang Guanxi incredulously.

  The boy in front of me, someone of her same age.

  She is less than 20 years old, and the boy in front of her has already made 20 billion US dollars?

  Originally, she just thought that he had made 2 billion US dollars recently, but she did not expect to make 20 billion US dollars!

  Gosh, how did this happen?

   is really incredible.

  Ford Ingrid was ashamed, and his inner superiority was completely crushed by the boy in front of him.

  She made her own investment and lost money.

  Can't play.

  And the boy in front of him, who has not yet gone to college, actually made 20 billion U.S. dollars.

  This is the best peer she has ever seen since she grew up.

   still looks so handsome.

  , who has a very high vision, could not help but develop a heart of admiration and admiration, but she concealed it very well.

  "Mr. Wang, I'm going back, I will contact you again when I have time."

  Wang Guanxi said: "You will stay here tonight. It is not convenient for you to go back to Michigan now. It is better to live in my manor, we can discuss some investment."
