Chapter 737 Tie Ben
“Mr. Xu, this is the invitation letter I received today.”
Xu Liang took it and took a look.
They are basically the top figures in the Australian business community.
This was also what he expected.
With his current status, he will receive a lot of attention no matter where he goes.
Especially now that his acquisition of Unocal Petroleum Company is intensifying, it is even more eye-catching.
But now he doesn't want to attend these so-called drinking parties.
If you have this time, you might as well stay at home and enjoy your family.
“Huh?”
See what’s on the last invitation.
Subconsciously I wanted to call and check, but after thinking about it I decided against it.
After all, this is tens of billions, or even hundreds of billions in revenue.
The second phase of cooperation will not proceed until this phase is sold out and the profits are returned to Hanhua.
Who can guarantee that he will be able to resist greed?
Of course it's safe.
Xu Liang nodded, "Besides us, are there any other institutions that quote Unocal Oil?"
"Mr. Xu, this is the receipt of the first phase of the transaction of Hanhua Pacific No. 2 Fund. "
But it is also related to the current international financial environment. "Xu Liangdao.
"Okay. ”
And they require all-cash transactions. ”
If all the tens of billions of dollars are sold out and then settled, it may be a question whether the money can be recovered in the end.
Lu Hui nodded and took it.
Although Australia has a small population, it has abundant resources
The Federal Reserve interest rate is so low, both banks and insurance companies like to borrow dollars with low interest rates to buy bonds with high interest rates and obtain the interest difference. Make money.
The cooperation between Pacific 2 Fund and Oppenheimer acquired by the Montes family, as well as Merrill Lynch and Morgan Stanley, are all carried out in installments.
"The investment reception organized by the Australian Department of Trade?"
"Are any Chinese companies participating?"
"Yes, this price does not include Unocal's debt. If Calculating debt, the total acquisition price is US$13.8 billion.
Even if the Montes family, Merrill Lynch and Morgan Stanley dare not offend the wealthy and powerful investors behind Hanhua, they will not be greedy for this money, but as long as they Postpone the repayment date by half a year or one year.
"January 26th, there is still one week left." Xu Liang pondered for a moment, "You reply for me, and I will attend on time."
So, Xu Liang would rather be troublesome at the beginning than to be Others are greedy for their own money.
"It is indeed very positive.
"Send it to Qiu Heng. "
Xu Liang raised his eyebrows slightly and said to himself: "That's not right. Why hasn't CNOOC's fortune come to an end at this time? ”
"Sold for US$3 billion so quickly?"
This price is already very high.
“Unocal itself offers US$11.2 billion?”
“Every January, the Australian Department of Trade organizes such a reception to provide Australian business owners with a platform for communication and financing.
“Not currently. ”
Xu Liang took it and took a look.
And some foreign business elites and financial scholars will also be invited. "Lu Hui explained.
"Yes, 13 institutions including ConocoPhillips and Continental Petroleum Company have provided acquisition bids for Unocal, but our conditions should be the best. "
"Mr. Xu, this is the meeting minutes reported by Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley of their second negotiation with Unocal Petroleum. ”
This huge amount of money can earn billions of dollars in net profit just from the interest.
Xu Liang also wanted to see if there were any good investment opportunities here.
Xu Liang took it and turned it over.
Why is this happening?
“The Montes family, Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley are more active than we originally expected.” Lu Huidao.
USD 3 billion for the first phase.
Therefore, there is never a shortage of buyers for AAA-rated bonds in the market.
Sign your name on the second phase of the cooperation agreement.
Anyway, the acquisition of Unocal Petroleum has just begun.
“Is the U.S. Congress still having a war of words?”
Lu Hui nodded and replied: “The lobbying companies recommended by Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley are very powerful. What is currently happening in Congress is about We prevailed in the hearing on our acquisition of Unocal
However, more and more people are paying attention to this matter, and with the help of many news media that are malicious towards us, there are many voices opposing the acquisition online.
And there was a small demonstration against us yesterday in Washington, DC.
So, Unocal’s acquisition has become much more complicated. "
Xu Liang nodded, "I will write a document later. You can help me pass it to Xia Changsheng and ask him to hire more media. We cannot be at a disadvantage in the battle of public opinion. "
"Mr. Xu, such tit-for-tat will complicate the problem. Is there a way to make a final decision? "Lu Hui said worriedly.
Of course there are ways to nail it down.
And the method is very simple.
Throw money.
99% of the world's problems can be solved by throwing money at it, while the remaining 1% require spending more money.
But Xu Liang's main purpose is not to acquire Unocal, but to attract the hostile eyes of those paying attention to him away from Hanhua by hyping Unocal's acquisition, so that he can make money from subprime mortgages.
So he hoped that the other party could complicate Unocal's acquisition.
"I also want to make a final decision, but the enemy doesn't want to. Okay, let's not talk about these headaches. Go and bring me the financial reports of Nettech and New Dream."
Lu Hui nodded and turned around to get the documents.
In the busy work, the time soon came to the afternoon.
“Brother, we are back.”
Bang.
Xu Meng burst in suddenly. Looking at the turbulent baby sister, Xu Liang put down the documents in his hand and couldn't help but said.
“Won’t you knock on the door before you come in?”
“Forgot, pay attention next time.”
"If I remember correctly, you have said the same thing to me nine times." Xu Liang glared.
Xu Meng smiled and blinked, "Brother, don't you want to know the results of my sister-in-law's examination?"
Xu Liang opened the drawer, took out a few documents and handed them over.
“Let’s take a look.”
Xu Meng picked it up and took a look, and his pretty eyes widened instantly.
"Brother, you are so despicable, you are actually following us."
Pa.
Xu Liang slapped the little girl on the back of her head.
"Brother, hit me!"
Seeing her on the verge of tears, Xu Liang said angrily: "Don't act there, I know how much strength I used. .”
"As strong as a cow..."
Xu Liang glared, and immediately closed her mouth without the support of her mother.
"Brother, how did you get my sister-in-law's examination report?"
"Of course it was passed to me by your sister-in-law's attending doctor. I spent so much money, but this privilege is still Yes.”
“No wonder.”
After returning the report in his hand to Xu Liang, "Brother, when Sister Xiaoyang is born, I will have six little nephews and two little nieces."
He immediately shook his head and looked at it with a sigh. The smelly old man in front of me.
"In just two years, you have gone from 0 to 8. If you add the 3 that the two sisters-in-law of the Sun family in South Korea are pregnant with, it will be 11.
Brother , you have given birth to a football team!”
“Stop talking. You will have a little nephew born in June next year; two in October.”
Fan Xiaopang was born in June, and Futian Xinmei was born in October. The latter was also pregnant with double yolk eggs.
Looking at my sister.
“You don’t seem surprised at all?”
“What’s so surprising? You’re already 11, and it’s normal to have 3 more. But I’m curious, stinky brother How many nephews and nieces do you want to give me?”
“From a probability perspective, the more children you have, the greater the probability that your brother and I will become successful. We can't let our incompetent descendants be ruined." Xu Liangdao.
"So you plan to keep having children?"
"Yeah."
"Tsk tsk, rich people just know how to play. Some like extreme sports, some like playing with lions and tigers, and some like gays. Yes, you like to have children now.
If you keep giving birth like this, I wonder if you can hope to set a Guinness World Record?”
“There is a man named Moulay Yi in history. Smail, the second sultan of the Alawi dynasty of Morocco, is known as the "first horse in the world". According to legend, he has as many as 867 descendants.
So there is a high probability that I will not be able to set a Guinness World Record. ”
Although Xu Liang likes to have more children, he doesn’t plan to have so many.
Otherwise you wouldn’t even recognize them, and the children he gives birth to would be no different from strangers.
Dong dong...
The knock on the door interrupted the conversation between the two.
Jiang Xiaoyang opened the door and walked in.
“Sister-in-law.”
“What are you talking about?”
“Sister-in-law, you don’t know, my brother actually bribed the doctor in the hospital to secretly follow you every time you check up. "
"If you can't speak, don't speak." Xu Liang scolded.
Xu Meng made a face at the smelly old man and turned around quickly.
"Brother, sister-in-law, I won't be a light bulb anymore, bye."
After saying that, he ran out quickly.
"This stinky girl is always so mean."
"She is like this in front of you. When she was in Hanhua, Xiao Meng was a resolute 'Mulan' , clear rewards and punishments, excellent ability, everyone respects her ”
A smile appeared on Xu Liang's lips.
Sister Xu Meng’s ability has been verified in her previous life.
Now he has given Xu Meng a higher platform, allowing Xu Meng to get better training and experience, and her talents and abilities in business management have been revealed earlier.
“Without you, my sister-in-law, to help her, she wouldn’t have adapted to Hanhua’s work so quickly.”
He helped Jiang Xiaoyang sit down and looked at the bag in her hand.
"What did you get?"
"Didn't I tell you in the morning that someone recommended three projects to me? I brought the information, please take a look."
Xu Liang took it over.
Every information is very detailed.
After Xu Liang read it carefully.
"How is it?"
"Why do you want to acquire Tieben?"
"Whether a project is good or not depends on three key points.
First, an excellent enterprise Leaders.
Second, is the project planning reasonable?
Third, future prospects.
In terms of leaders, Dai Guofang, the founder of Tieben, comes from a poor family and is frugal by nature. He is a trustworthy person in the eyes of Changzhou locals.
He is thin, taciturn, and has no hobbies in his life. He just sits in the factory all day long, discussing with technicians.
He is also the famous "Five Bosses" in the local area.
