Reborn Capital Madman

Chapter 0883 Does Sir Gao want to buy Lehman Brothers?

In a mature society, power is a consensus.

In the circle, there will always be a type of people in the "hub" position, who can contact anyone in the circle. Everyone is willing to help him in exchange for helping him in the future, and then objectively formed.

A powerful person maps part of his influence to the boundless power of this "hub".

This is the case with Sir Gao!

Although Willard Butcher did not agree to increase the capital of the Hong Kong Futures Guarantee Company again, he really did not dare to break up with Sir Gao for $10 or 20 million in cash.

You should know that even if Xiangjiang's status as an international financial center is not as good as London, it is still very important to Chase Bank, which is affected by the Latin American sovereign debt crisis. For example, in the Xiangjiang foreign exchange market, Chase Bank is one of the main dealers.

If David Rockefeller gets into the face of David Rockefeller, David Rockefeller is likely to think that Willard Butcher has no situation and that Sir Gao, who has the money in Hong Kong, has opened his mouth, how can he not give face?

So, seeing that Sir Gao's attitude was so firm, Willard Butcher found a way out himself, "Boom, as long as other shareholders agree, Chase Bank will inject capital into Xiangjiang Futures Guarantee Company."

Sir Gao also slowed down and said: "Huifeng Bank, Standard Chartered Bank, Youli Bank, and Gaoyi Bank all agreed. When I arrive in Europe, I will continue to lobby for the London International Commodity Exchange, Barclays Bank, Credit Lyon Bank,

Deutsche Bank, I believe they will understand the need for capital increase like Chase Bank."

"By the way, as the prelude to the Japanese Yen offshore financial center, Hong Kong, the most important foreign exchange bank, is interested in joining the Hong Kong Futures Guarantee Company."

"When everyone finally sat together for a meeting and decided to increase capital for Xiangjiang Futures Guarantee Company, we will study this matter by the way."

Willard Butcher couldn't help but be speechless. Xiangjiang Futures Guarantee Company has new shareholders.

Gao Xian continued to explain: "After Xiangjiang enters the transitional period, with the determination of the Zhengzong environment, the stock market of Xiangjiang, which has been suppressed for a long time, will rise rapidly. In terms of the price-to-earnings ratio alone, it is far lower than that of New York, London and Tokyo, and will definitely attract

International capital has poured in, and once stock index futures are launched, it is completely predictable to be sought after. Xiangjiang Futures Guarantee Company should indeed make top-level designs in advance."

Both of them are mindful, and Willard Butcher knew in his heart that their disputes originated from different starting points. Obviously, Sir Gao cared about the long-term development of the Xiangjiang platform, and there were no personal grudges here.

"I believe in Sir Gao's judgment and I hope that our main contract will move forward with a beautiful trend by then." Willard Butcher said, convincingly making a compromise.

When the two were calmly going to the golf course for activities, they came over alone.

Gao Xian noticed that Willard Butcher raised his eyebrows, as if he knew what the other party was going to come.

This person is called Peter George Peterson, and he is quite famous. He served as Minister of Commerce during the reign of Nikeson and then joined Lehman Brothers as CEO.

Because the economic environment in the early 1970s was difficult, and the soul of Lehman Brothers Robert Lehman passed away in 1969, and no one in the Lehman family was willing to take over the family company, so they fell into power

The Lehman Brothers, who had an internal strife, were in trouble in business.

To put it bluntly, Peterson was invited to put out the fire, and he did not disappoint everyone's expectations. Not only did he save Lehman Brothers, but he also made Lehman Brothers' management remarkable.

However, Lehman Brothers' internal strife has fallen apart, and the internal strife has become more and more intense. Last year, Peterson was forced to make a compromise, elevating Lewis Gluxman, the president who represented the trader faction, to the co-CEO

In the position, the internal strife still failed to stop. This year, Peterson was simply overthrown and left Lehman Brothers in shame.

How did Peterson feel when he was defeated in the struggle for the company? Gao Xian didn't know, but he thought that Peterson was not really disappointed. David Rockefeller admired him and planned to let him take over as a diplomat in the United States.

The position of the association’s president.

Because of the pressure on President Carter to allow the exiled King Pahlavi to enter the United States to treat his illness, it became an unsupported trigger for the outbreak of the hostage crisis in Iran. After being criticized by the media, David Rockefeller continued to retreat behind the scenes.

Avoid public gaze.

For example, in 1982, Forbes created a very sensational list of the 400 American richest people. David Rockefeller ranked in the top three. Then David Rockefeller handled his personal property and donated it to the family foundation.

Go out and quickly disappeared from Forbes' rich list.

This year, David Rockefeller had another idea and stepped down from the position of president of the American Diplomatic Association, who had been around for about fifteen years.

After a while of greeting, the three of them simply went to the golf course together, playing ball and talking about things.

Peterson's appearance was naturally aimless. It turned out that he was planning to start an investment bank by himself, and even had the company name been thought out.

There is a Lehman brothers colleague named Stephen Allen Schwartzman, who is currently following Peterson. The two started a company together. The company name is taken from the original German and Greek meanings of their names. After they are connected together, they are

blackstone.

In this case, Peterson naturally had to attract resources everywhere.

Gao Xian asked with interest, "What business is Black Stone doing now?"

"It's just taking on some consulting business at the moment." Peterson looked a little embarrassed with a smile on his face. "The company only has 400,000 US dollars of seed funds, and it can't take on big businesses."

Willard Butcher smiled, "Peter and his colleague named Schwartzman had great experience in the acquisition and merger business when they were in Lehman Brothers."

This supplement is very good. It is only $400,000 in partnership. What else can you do except provide consulting services?

Gao Xian is silent and can't do anything now, but once it is combined with Zhengzhi resources, that's another story!

He thought for a while and gave a suggestion in a calm tone, "I have news here that Bay West is interested in acquiring permanent battery under United Carbide. Blackstone can provide relevant consulting services if he is willing."

Peterson naturally would not refuse the business that was delivered to the door. After a while, he suddenly asked Gao Xian, "Does Sir Gao want to acquire Lehman Brothers? I expect the price will definitely not exceed 400 million US dollars!"

Gao Xian couldn't help laughing. How much resentment is Peterson? He sold his old boss directly, just wanting to earn the consultation service fee?

Peterson explained very seriously, "Lehman Brothers' internal environment is very competitive, which is a good thing, but too much is not enough. The internal friction is too great, which leads to failure. After I left Lehman Brothers, many people were tired of the company's struggle.

I chose to leave Lehman Brothers and then almost disintegrate Lehman Company. The best way out for Lehman Company is to accept the acquisition."
