Chapter 963: bad things turned into good things

If West Germany is interested in oil fields, Li Changheng has the reason and qualifications to force England to compromise on the banking and insurance industries.

This is a good thing for himself, and it is also a good thing for Citigroup.

Alan Gay, the chairman of the board of directors, and President Payne, the shareholder representative of Boyin in Citigroup, could not think of any reason to veto Li Changheng's proposal.

And the two of them also understood that even if it was brought up on the board of directors, the shareholders would have no reason to object.

On the contrary, everyone understands Li Changheng's small thoughts, but they can only watch him helplessly, and send Taylor to secretly negotiate with Sid.

Alan Gay Guy is probably not far away from retirement. In order to make his life less boring after retirement, he thinks about being rehired by Citigroup as a consultant to the new chairman of the board, Li Changheng, after retirement.

Then I reminded, "Henry, I think you should first use oil fields or other assets to borrow 400 million US dollars from Citigroup to buy the 2.5% of the shares.

Otherwise, after the news spreads, most of the shareholders will continue to lobby you to give up selling the oil field and use the oil field to force England to agree to your plan.

When the news spreads, Citigroup's market capitalization may exceed 16 billion US dollars the next day. "

Li Changheng cursed in his heart after hearing this.

This is not impossible, but definitely will happen.

After a short mental calculation, the cross-border settlement and loan, as well as the insurance policy business, can bring at least tens of millions of dollars in benefits to Citigroup every year.

The money is not too much, but the impact on the market value is definitely far more than the impact of 100 million US dollars.

Because stockholders are blind, and investment institutions use stockholders as leeks, seeing profits, Wall Street will not let go of the opportunity to pull more leeks off the market.

The reason is also very simple. Before that, he made a net profit of 300 million US dollars in the island country, and later developed a profitable business in England.

Such a strong performance, the effect of a little publicity, is that the stockholders' pursuit of Citigroup will go further.

Once the pursuit of the entire market is formed, the market value will rise like a balloon.

Shareholders of Citigroup will never let go of this opportunity. The stock price has risen, and there are many ways to bring it down.

Besides, the performance is not fake, and just releasing a big plan that has not been confirmed can calm down the stockholders.

Therefore, even if the shareholders of Citigroup are heartbroken to compensate Li Changheng, they will definitely ask Li Changheng to give up the oil field business.

If the lobbying fails, the shareholders of 80.5% of the shares will force him to compromise.

Of course, the means will not be drastic, after all, Li Changheng is everyone's benefactor, but there will be countless people who will annoy him to death all day long.

Thinking of this, Li Changheng sighed helplessly, but since it is impossible for him to provoke public anger, it is not that he has no chance to reap benefits.

If you want to talk, let's talk.

Anyway, I didn't intend to sell the oil field.

The eyes kept switching on the faces of Alan and Payne until the two of them avoided looking at themselves.

Only then did Li Changheng smile and say, "We can talk about anything, but I can't harm my own interests and help other shareholders of Citigroup make profits.

Moreover, no one should dare to unite and persecute me now, right! "

"Of course, of course."

Payne nodded quickly, "I will take the initiative to contact the shareholders, and at least I will not let you suffer."

Not to mention the gangsters that Li Changheng has dealt with over the years, just the matter of rescuing Sean Hurst a few days ago, not only no one in the upper echelon of the United States will take the initiative to offend him.

More rich people want to know him instead.

Even Payne, the CEO of Boyin, is looking forward to the rumors that he has a good relationship with Li Changheng from the outside world.

On the one hand, there are business considerations, and on the other hand, if the underground forces target him in the future, they have to worry about whether Li Changheng will intervene.

Li Changheng nodded in satisfaction, and looked at Andre Rockefeller.

Andre shrugged, "I'm the third generation heir, although I don't know everything about the contract you signed with Citigroup.

But I still know about the 6 opportunities to buy 2.5% of the shares.

Even my father promised you, even if he gave you the seventh chance to buy, I know the verbal promise to let you hold more than 33.33% of Citigroup's shares.

But don't worry, my mouth has always been very strict. "

Li Changheng couldn't help but rolled his eyes. Fortunately, he had already pulled Andre on board. As long as this guy is not stupid, he won't talk nonsense.

-----

Dealt with more than a dozen rich people personally introduced by Payne, Allen, and the host, Randall.

At a little after 10 o'clock in the evening, Li Changheng scanned the scene of the reception.

Immediately, I felt that if I didn't leave, the women around me who wanted to swallow me would probably come over and make trouble regardless of etiquette.

He hurriedly greeted Randall, and under the protection of his personal guards, he went straight out of the hotel and went home by car.

As soon as he left, someone soon told his companions that he didn't understand style, and that the ladies and ladies who came to his door didn't know how to enjoy it.

But even the person who said this, after saying this, admired Li Changheng in his heart.

The upper circles in the United States are notoriously chaotic, but as young as Li Changheng, he can resist all kinds of temptations, making it difficult for competitors to say anything, and at the same time, he really has to admire him.

----

On the way home, Li Changheng told Barney about mobilizing a team of Knights and Shields to accompany New Jersey Congressman Horton to Columbia.

Then he asked about Dao Feng who had not been by his side during this period of time.

Barney, who was driving, hesitated for a few seconds, until he saw Li Changheng's eyes staring at him in the rearview mirror, and then said, "When you were in England last year, Daofeng met a girl.

After we found out that there was nothing wrong with the girl, we reported it to you, do you remember? "

Li Changheng nodded, Dao Feng was the captain of his personal bodyguard, so of course people should pay attention to his every move.

When Barney saw that Li Changheng just nodded, without any other indication, he was silent for a while before sighing and said, "The girl must be pregnant."

Li Changheng suddenly frowned and asked, "Are you sure?"

Barney nodded affirmatively, "Blade asked for leave because he was worried that he and his unborn child would become the targets of the enemy if he was still by your side.

And once the kids and marriage thing is real, he has to leave your side.

Transfer to Knight Shield or other companies to work. "

Nima's ~lightnovelpub.net~ Li Changheng cursed secretly, but he couldn't blame Daofeng.

After all, he is already in his early 30s, and starting a family and having children is an unavoidable reality.

It can only be a blessing.

But Blade left from the position of personal bodyguard. If Barney went to the DEA in the trenches, if he manages Knight Shield and also serves as the captain of the guard, there will definitely be mistakes and omissions after a long time.

"Do you and Trenches have a replacement for Blade?"

Barney scratched his head in embarrassment, and wanted to recommend Stone-Banks, but felt that Li Changheng actually didn't trust Banks very much.

Otherwise, Banks would not have been sent to manage the Silmido Combat Team in South Korea and have kept himself and the trenches on him.

"Sorry, Henry, you can only choose your own replacement."
