Chapter 1049: 1 sentence, a few billion will be gone

Of course Li Changheng would not agree to the demands of Citigroup and other banks, but he did not say anything.

After several banks came to the door together, while emphasizing the spirit of the contract, they also implicitly said that as long as the conditions can satisfy themselves, it is not impossible to make money together.

After thinking about this for a while, someone with a dark face understood that Li Changheng wanted to exchange shares.

Because at Li Changheng's level, it is basically impossible for mere money to impress him.

Fortunately, Belford Investment Company itself has good profitability, otherwise it would not be valued at a market value of 1 billion US dollars by the outside world.

Now that he holds various banks in his hands, it is impossible to wait three years for the lead underwriting qualification in the next three years. By that time, God knows how far Belford's market value will rise.

If the annual profit exceeds hundreds of millions, isn't it worth at least several billion dollars?

By that time, Belford, which has grown in size, will not be able to handle it casually, and even has a three-year monopoly period. Belford has long become a golden brand, and some shareholders are willing to buy the company's financial products.

It's better to talk about it now. Once the negotiation is completed, you can still enjoy the profit dividends of the investment company in the next few years.

In this way, there is a basis for negotiation and share exchange.

The only trouble is which company's shares to change, and what is the market value of Belford at this time?

Li Changheng doesn't care about specific negotiations and evaluations, otherwise he would support so many lawyers and accountants for nothing.

Moreover, in order to get a higher bonus, his own private team of lawyers and accountants are eager to have endless work.

During the negotiation, Morgan Stanley actually put Big Blue on the share exchange list again, but Li Changheng was not interested in IBM`M at all.

And he also knew that this must be a temptation by Morgan.

The last time he was on the board of directors of Citigroup, Morgan tested his views on Big Blue.

Now it is like this again, Li Changheng believes that it must be the reason for the slowdown in the growth of Big Blue's market value in recent years.

At the end of the 1960s, the market value of Big Blue exceeded 170 billion US dollars, and it exceeded 190 billion in 1972. However, in the past three years, it has never exceeded 200 billion, or even 195 billion.

Coupled with the fact that Big Blue has been unable to make up its mind to enter the personal computer market, it means that it cannot find a new profit point.

That's why I took the opportunity to test Li Changheng's views on this company.

However, Li Changheng's attitude of refusing without hesitation was quickly reflected in the stock market.

The next day, the stock price of Big Blue fell by 3%, and its market value evaporated by more than 5.7 billion US dollars, and it fell below the 190 billion mark in an instant. The frightened Big Blue and its major shareholders quickly mobilized funds and planned to buy back shares when necessary.

Morgan also took the initiative to call Li Changheng for the first time, hoping that he could help clarify, otherwise it might drop another billions tomorrow.

Of course, Li Changheng was unwilling to help, and took the opportunity to raise a condition that he didn't even think he could succeed, that is, to acquire the shares of Citigroup held by Morgan Stanley. Morgan was so angry that his hands holding the microphone trembled.

Everyone knows that he and Morgan do not like each other, and the outside world has always interpreted the disagreement between him and Morgan as the fact that Morgan has opposed him in the Citi board of directors in order to curb his rise these years.

But Li Changheng knew that if he wanted to rise, he must find a competitor.

And Morgan Stanley was the strongest in this era, but from another perspective, Morgan Stanley also had the most opponents.

As long as I am not stupid, I will definitely not pick Rockefeller and DuPont, which have already declined, because that is tantamount to helping the already strong Morgan Stanley, and I will definitely be the one who is unlucky in the end.

So following the thoughts of several consortiums, after Morgan made trouble for him, Li Changheng also fought back several times from time to time.

Although they didn't completely tear each other apart, even the confrontation between each other has always been very rational, which made many people both happy and disappointed.

But these hostile actions have really made Li Changheng basically not encounter pressure other than Damo during the process of his rise.

Moreover, Da Mo didn't really suppress him because of his scruples.

Of course, this also has a lot to do with Li Changheng's willingness to share benefits with other consortiums.

To put it bluntly, a consortium is a combination of interests, and there are many hills inside. For a coward like Li Changheng, as long as he is willing to benefit, it is not difficult to divide and win.

Even Li Changheng had received the news a long time ago that many people in Damo had followed him to eat meat, and they didn't want to really have an enemy with him.

Now take the initiative to ask Morgan to buy the Citigroup shares held by Morgan Stanley, except to make a random request so that Morgan can retreat in the face of difficulties.

He also really wanted to remove Morgan Stanley from Citigroup.

It's a pity that this is basically impossible, Morgan Stanley is not short of money, and Li Changheng can't come up with something that will make Morgan Stanley willing to exchange shares for the time being.

However, because of his attitude, Big Blue fell by 3%, evaporating 5.7 billion in market value, which also made him vigilant.

Everyone has a competitive heart, and the idea of ​​striving for the first has already penetrated into the bones, but sometimes the first is also equal to the first bird.

Li Changheng didn't want to be the second Rockefeller to be dismembered.

And to put it realistically, Morgan Stanley is no longer just like Morgan.

But Citigroup tends to be controlled by himself. Offending Morgan is actually not as serious as imagined. On the contrary, Li Changheng believes that there is a high probability that Morgan Stanley will not be willing to fight against him at this time.

Even within Morgan Stanley, there must be many shareholders who are willing to pull themselves into their interior.

Even if it is impossible to give yourself shares in companies involved in financial business such as banking and insurance, but the shares of General Motors, International Telephone and Telegraph, American Telephone and Telegraph Company, and American Steel, Morgan Stanley should be willing to exchange them with Belford Investment Corporation. shares.

As long as you are pulled into the inner circle, there will be a reason to have direct face-to-face contact, and the intertwined interests will also make Li Changheng feel scrupulous.

The most important thing is that pulling him into the circle and leading everyone to make a fortune is better than becoming an enemy without even talking about it.

It's a pity that after controlling Citigroup~lightnovelpub.net~ Li Changheng can no longer control Morgan Stanley, and he can't afford it.

Since you don't have to worry about being kicked out by Li Changheng, some people in Damozhong are of course willing to accept him, and everyone will make a fortune together.

Li Changheng is smart, and an old fox like Morgan is not stupid. After suppressing his anger and calming down, he soon realized that Li Changheng might just be testing and joking.

Because selling the Citigroup shares held by Morgan Stanley is not something that Morgan alone can decide, and he won't even mention it in the board of directors of Morgan Stanley.

And if you think about it carefully, the prospect of Belford Investment Company is indeed good, but Citigroup's shares are not comparable at all.

Under the leadership of Li Changheng in the past two years, Citigroup's market value has skyrocketed from 6.3 billion to more than 18 billion US dollars now.

Coupled with the emergence and big sales of new financial derivatives this time, it is only a matter of time before Citigroup's market value exceeds 20 billion.

The shareholders of Morgan Stanley are stupid to sell shares at this time.
