Chapter 1049: One sentence is worth a billion

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

After several banks came to the door together, while emphasizing the spirit of the contract, they also vaguely stated that as long as the conditions are satisfactory, it is not impossible to make money together.

After thinking about these words for a moment, some people knew with a dark face that Li Changheng wanted to exchange shares.

Because at the level of Li Changheng, it is basically impossible for him to be moved by simple money.

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

Now I am holding various banks in my hand. It will be impossible to wait three years for the lead underwriting qualification in the next three years. At that time, the ghost knows how much Belford's market value will rise.

If the annual profit exceeds several hundred million, isn't it worth at least several billion dollars?

At that time, Belford, which has increased in scale, could not exist at will. There was even a three-year monopoly period. Belford had long been a golden sign, and some investors were willing to buy the company's financial products.

It is better to talk about it now. Once the talks are completed, the investment company's profit dividends in the next few years can still be eaten.

In this way, the basis for negotiations and share swaps will be established.

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

Li Changheng doesn't care about specific negotiations and evaluations, or else he has to feed so many lawyers and accountants.

Moreover, my own private lawyers and accountants, in order to get higher bonuses, are eager to have endless work.

During the negotiation, Morgan Stanley actually put the Blue Giant on the exchange list again, but it is a pity that Li Changheng is not interested in IB`M at all.

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

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

Now that it is like this, Li Changheng believes that it must be the reason why the market value growth of Giant Blue has slowed down in recent years.

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

In addition, Giant Blue has been unable to make up his mind to enter the personal computer market, which means it can't find new profit points.

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

The attitude of Li Changheng's refusal without hesitation was quickly reflected in the stock market.

The next day, Blue Giant’s stock price fell by 3%, and its market value evaporated by more than US$5.7 billion. It instantly fell below the 190 billion mark. The scared Blue Giant and major shareholders hurriedly mobilized funds and planned to repurchase 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 fall by several billions tomorrow.

Of course, Li Changheng was unwilling to help. He took the opportunity to mention a condition that he didn't think he could succeed, that is, the acquisition of Citigroup shares in Damo's hand. The angry Morgan's hand holding the microphone shook.

Everyone knows that he and Morgan dislike each other, and the outside world has always understood the disagreement between him and Morgan, which means that Morgan has opposed him on the Citi board of directors in order to contain his rise over the years.

But Li Changheng himself knew that if he wanted to rise, he would inevitably need to find a competitor.

And Morgan Stanley has the strongest strength in this era, but from another perspective, Morgan Stanley has the most opponents.

As long as I am not stupid, I will definitely not pick Rockefeller and DuPont, who have fallen, because that is tantamount to helping the already strong Motorsports, and in the end it must be me who is unlucky.

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

Although the face was not completely torn apart, even the fighting with each other has always been very sensible, which made many people both happy and disappointed.

However, these violent behaviors really made Li Changheng basically not encounter any pressure outside of Da Mo during his rise.

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

Of course, this also has a great relationship with Li Changheng's willingness to share benefits with other consortia.

To put it bluntly, the consortium is a combination of interests. There are many hills inside. For Li Changheng's coercion, as long as he is willing to benefit, it is not difficult to divide and win.

Even Li Changheng had long received the news that many people in Damo had followed him after eating meat and did not want to really have **** with him.

Now he is actively asking Morgan to buy the shares of Citigroup held by Morgan Stanley, except for making a random request, so that Morgan himself will retire.

He also really wants to purge Morgan Stanley out of Citigroup.

It's a pity that this is basically impossible. Morgan Stanley is not short of money, and Li Changheng is temporarily unable to come up with something that would allow him to exchange shares willingly.

However, because of his own attitude, the Big Blue plunged 3% and evaporated 5.7 billion in market value, which also made him vigilant.

Everyone is eager to win, and the idea of ​​striving for the first has already penetrated into the bones, but sometimes the first is also equal to the early bird.

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

And to put it in a very realistic way~lightnovelpub.net~ Morgan Stanley is no longer just like Morgan.

But Citigroup has a tendency to be controlled by itself. Offending Morgan is actually not as serious as expected. On the contrary, Li Changheng believes that Morgan Stanley at this time is likely to be unwilling to engage in evil with him.

Even inside Morgan Stanley, there must be many shareholders who are willing to pull themselves into them.

Even if it is impossible to give shares to companies involved in financial services such as banking and insurance, the shares of General Motors, International Telephone and Telegraph, U.S. Telephone, Telegraph Corporation and U.S. Steel should be exchanged for shares of Belford Investment Corporation. Shares.

As long as you are drawn into the inner circle, there will be a reason for direct face-to-face contact, and the intertwining of interests will also make Li Changheng hesitate.

The most important thing is to pull him into the circle and lead everyone to make a fortune. It is better to become an enemy without talking.

It is a pity that after controlling Citigroup, Li Changheng can no longer control Morgan Stanley, nor can he afford it.

Since you don't have to worry about being kicked out by Li Changheng, some people of the Damon race 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 understood that Li Changheng might be just a test and a joke.

Because the sale of Citi shares held by Morgan Stanley is not something that Morgan can decide alone, and he wouldn't even mention it on the Morgan Stanley board of directors.

And think about it carefully, the prospects of Belford Investment Company are indeed good, but Citi's shares are not comparable at all.

In the past two years, under the leadership of Li Changheng, the market value of Citigroup has soared from 6.3 billion to over 18 billion U.S. dollars.

Coupled with the emergence and sales of new financial derivatives, Citi has a market value of more than 20 billion, which is only a matter of time.

Morgan Stanley's shareholders are stupid to sell shares at this time.
