Chapter 940 Intrigue
Christina’s shareholding dropped from the previous 12.75% to 11.77%.
However, this shareholding structure cannot be maintained for long.
Series B financing will begin soon.
This time Facebook will use 15% of its equity to finance.
"Mr. Xu, Carlyle Group participated in the Dragon Slaying Plan, why do we invite them to participate in Facebook's Series B financing?"
Xu Liang turned to look at her, "You still don't want to call me husband. ”
Lu Hui’s pretty face turned rosy instantly.
"I...we have a working relationship now, we can't let others misunderstand."
Looking at her shy face, Xu Liang felt very interesting.
"Okay, do whatever you feel comfortable with. ...As for the Carlyle Group, if I reject them, it will be equivalent to showing that I understand the inside story of the dragon-slaying plan, and these hyenas will become more careful.
It will be difficult to get the inside story of the Dragon Slaying Plan.
So we need to keep them for now.
But these guys will definitely not be shortlisted.”
Lu Hui suddenly realized.
"Or are you thinking long-term."
Xu Liang smiled, "Have Gorman and Blankfein arrived in Silicon Valley?"
"Come with the negotiation teams of JP Morgan and Goldman Sachs "
"You can arrange it and meet with them sometime."
We have to talk about Vivendi's loan securitization and the US$20 billion loan.
"Okay."
Dingle bell...
Xu Liang's cell phone suddenly rang.
Looked at the caller ID and picked up the call.
"Xiaoyang, why did you call me suddenly?"
"The acquisition of Hongyan's assets has ended, and all US$6.7 billion in funds have been transferred to Hongyan's account."
The final transaction price was slightly higher than Xu Liang's own estimate.
“Yes.”
Xu Liangliang breathed a sigh of relief, and finally completed one of his huge preparations.
Including this money, the liquidity in his hands has exceeded 12.7 billion US dollars.
"How about selling the equity of Sina and Wangke directly to Hanhua, so that you can get the money faster." Jiang Xiaoyang suggested.
Xu Liang looked thoughtful.
He does not know the specific time of the dragon-slaying plan, so the sooner he can gather more funds, the better it will be for his subsequent resistance plan.
“If NetTech is sold to Hanhua, Sina will forget about it.” Xu Liang said.
Wangke is a chain of Internet cafes that belongs to the retail and service industries.
But Sina is the Internet.
After acquiring Vivendi Network, a huge portal covering the entire Eurasian continent has been established.
This is a top channel that can influence world public opinion.
Xu Liang is not ready to let go yet.
It’s not that he doesn’t believe Jiang Xiaoyang.
Rather, he wanted to try whether Sina, under his leadership, could turn around in the mobile era and, with Weibo, SouFun, and Autohome, embark on a path similar to 'Today's Toutiao'.
If it succeeds, Sina's future will be much more than its current market capitalization of one to two billion US dollars.
Such a transformation is definitely impossible for Jiang Xiaoyang, who does not understand the Internet.
In contrast, Xie Wen, a veteran in the Internet industry, is better able to realize his ideas.
Jiang Xiaoyang was a little disappointed.
She hopes to acquire Sina more than Internet Technology.
The latter has greater influence.
But Xu Liang was unwilling to let go, so she had no choice but to give up. "When are you going to take action?" Jiang Xiaoyang asked.
“Don’t worry, both me and those guys are actually waiting for the best opportunity to take action.”
"Opportunity? What opportunity?"
"I don't know, but I guess they want to limit the funds in my hands. For example, after I hand over the Vivendi bonds to Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs for sale, as long as they do whatever they want Making an excuse will prevent me from getting the funds in the short term.
Similarly, the low interest rate is a trap. br>If I can't help but be greedy, I'll step in.
I am sure that this huge loan will not be credited to my account before I decide the outcome with Old Soros and the others.
This not only limits my financing ability, but also limits the amount of funds in my hands.
Significantly reduces my chances of winning. "
Jiang Xiaoyang looked solemn, with a hint of shock in her eyes.
Although she was far away in China, she could feel the thrill of this struggle in just a few words.
One wrong step could lead to a big loss.
"Xiaoyang, actually the war had already started when I stepped into the United States, but it has not reached its climax yet." Xu Liang said with some emotion.
Jiang Xiaoyang took a deep breath and suppressed the throbbing in his heart.
“How do you plan to break the situation?”
“Two ways.
First, I have already made arrangements with Standard Chartered. If everything goes well, the money will be loaned from Standard Chartered.
The second and final choice is your Hanhua. ”
“What about Vivendi bonds? With Hanhua's current channels, there is no way to digest 14 billion euros of corporate debt in a short period of time. ”
“I plan to divide this part of the bond into four parts.
2 billion euros are reserved for Hanhua Sales, 2 billion euros are reserved for Oppenheimer Investment Bank, and the remaining 10 billion euros are divided among JP Morgan, Goldman Sachs, Merrill Lynch and Bear Stearns.
The Montes family behind Oppenheimer Investment Bank sent me the list of hyenas behind the scenes in return for my promise to them. "Xu Liang explained.
Jiang Xiaoyang responded, of course she knew the relationship between the Montes family and Xu Liang.
But she didn't try to expose this matter.
< br>“Aren’t you worried that Goldman Sachs and JP Morgan are deliberately making things difficult for you? Give them Vivendi's share? "
"Taizu once told us that if we want to win a war, the most fundamental strategy is to make more friends and fewer enemies.
So we have to win over JP Morgan, Goldman Sachs, Merrill Lynch and Bear Stearns.
And I don’t intend to give them all my share.
At the beginning, each company will be given 500 million euros. Whichever company sells the bonds quickly and collects the money quickly will be given priority in providing more Vivendi bonds.
I want to see if they are willing to use their own interests to give back to those bastards hiding in the dark. "Xu Liangdao.
"This is a good method. "Jiang Xiaoyang continued happily, "This method can also be applied to Sina shares' mortgage loans? ”
"No."
"Why?"
"At the beginning of this duel, it must be the most intense time. I need enough funds to cope with the crisis." Xu Liang said.
Jiang Xiaoyang thought for a moment and felt that his concerns were justified.
Any strategist understands that adding fuel to the fire is not advisable.
Therefore, once he comes up, he will definitely use most of his trump cards and defeat his opponent with a stormy offensive.
Commonly known as ‘Three Board Axes’.
If the three axes cannot be solved, it will enter a stage where each person is doing his own thing and comparing overall strength.
It is also the most brutal strangulation battle.
"Since you have already made a decision in your mind, I won't say more. I will resolve the acquisition of Wangke in the shortest possible time and transfer the money to your account."
"Yes."
Xu Liang hung up the phone and stared at the lush and vibrant three oak trees outside the window, his eyes gradually becoming deeper.
