Chapter 0888 Let Lehman Brothers go to the tide of leverage

When Gao Xian received the report that Lehman Brothers had decided to accept the acquisition of Goyi America, his first reaction was that he was slightly surprised. The progress was a bit fast.

Based on existing experience, Gao Xian believed that faced with multiple choices, Lehman Brothers, which was in turmoil, would struggle for a while.

William Miller's hearty laughter came over the phone, "This is all thanks to Peterson's super hard work. He has maximized the role of his connections."

"Somewhat unexpectedly, the candidate for the new CEO of Lehman Brothers was traded to Harvey Krueger of Kuhn Robb's faction, but compared to the quick completion of the acquisition of Lehman Brothers,

It’s still worth it.”

"It's really harmless." Gao Xian had no objection. "Although Kuhnrob has lost his independent status, Kuhnrob's connections are still very valuable. Let's let Harvey Krueger be the CEO first.

, as long as he obeys the grand strategy we formulated."

The grand strategy mentioned by Gao Xian is to let Lehman Brothers catch up with the emerging trend on Wall Street at this stage, that is, high-risk and high-yield leverage operations. In this field, Drexel Burnham Lambert,

Morgan Stanley, Salomon Brothers, etc. have already come to the front.

Gao Xian basically grasps the "boundaries" including market risk and legal risk, and believes that Lehman Brothers will not stumble.

In fact, even if Lehman Brothers lost money, Gao Xian wouldn't really care. Gao Yi was his true love. Wasn't the purpose of acquiring Lehman Brothers just to get involved in areas that Gao Yi didn't have or couldn't enter? I believe that at that time, Gao Xian

Mann Brothers had long since made back its capital with profits.

"The cost of this acquisition of Lehman Brothers has been very well controlled, and the progress has exceeded expectations. How much will Peterson receive in addition to the consulting service fee of one million US dollars?" William Miller went to the next page.

a topic.

"Just give Blackstone a bonus of US$500,000. If Peterson is willing, give Blackstone a contract to participate in the subsequent transformation of Lehman Brothers." Gao Xian, who is optimistic about Blackstone's prospects, is generous, "Peterson will do this this time."

It’s beautiful, Gaoyi America can consider investing in his black stone.”

"When is it convenient for you to meet with the new management of Lehman Brothers?" William Miller continued with the next question.

"This way, let them come to Xiangjiang and I will entertain them." Gao Xian thought: "By the way, you can fax a list of all the employees of Lehman Brothers. I am going to select some outstanding reserve cadres and invite them together."

William Miller understood this well, and this was Sir Gao's method of employing people.

After Kuhn Robb was acquired by Lehman Brothers, its CEO Harvey Krueger entered a state of hiding his capabilities and biding his time in the new company. Now he has successively defeated Peterson and Lewis Glucksman as CEOs.

Although Gaoyi Miguo thinks it is innocuous to return an official to the position of CEO, there are still some checks and balances that should be in place.

Even if Goyi America promised that Lehman Brothers would retain its brand and operate independently, it could send people to Lehman Brothers. This would not be a violation of its promise, but it would still be less natural than cultivating close associates from Lehman Brothers' original team.

When the news that Lehman Brothers accepted the acquisition of Goyi America was officially announced, the media that had been optimistic about National Express before could not help but feel resentful. So in order to save face, they changed the subject and wrote a big book about Peterson, the ousted Lehman.

The former CEO of Brother Company, his revenge was successful!

On the other hand, National Express, a failed party, behaved very gracefully and did not care much about missing out on Lehman Brothers. Anyway, it had strong financial resources and a lot of room for choice. Compared with Morgan Stanley, Goldman Sachs, and Bells, Lehman Brothers

First Bank of Boston and Merrill Lynch are ranked low on Wall Street, so they can just look for a better acquisition target.

I have to say that sometimes, when big players with strong financial resources like National Express often perform mediocrely after entering new fields, it has something to do with the fact that they are confident and have many choices, so it doesn't matter.

Lehman Brothers seems to be entering a period of personnel turmoil again.

Last time, Lewis Glucksman squeezed out Peterson, which meant that the traders had the upper hand, and some investment bankers left Lehman Brothers one after another.

This time, Lehman Brothers accepted the acquisition by Cowi America, and CEO Lewis Glucksman, who advocated accepting the acquisition by American Express, stepped down, which meant that the traders lost power again.

Richard Fuld, who was in charge of trading commercial paper, was a little confused. He had always been admired by Lewis Glucksman. Will he be excluded because of this? Or, should he move to another place? But, no

So easy!

With this in mind, Richard Fuld went to see Lewis Glucksman off.

Lewis Glucksman, who stepped down, seemed to be in good spirits. After seeing Richard Fuld, he greeted him cordially: "Richard, I went to Shearson American Express. Please contact me often in the future."

.”

If American Express succeeds in acquiring Lehman Brothers, then Lehman Brothers will be merged into Shearson American Express, that is, Shearson American Express is the newly created investment banking business department of American Express. Lewis Gerard

If Luxman goes there, he will continue to do his job.

Richard Fuld asked curiously: "Lewis, you don't seem to be lost..."

"Lost? Why should I be disappointed? This is the rule of the game for the ups and downs of Wall Street." Lewis Glucksman smiled, "And Goyi America is very particular about things and gave me a satisfactory severance package, so that those who are sure

If I have excellent abilities, I will appear to be very real."

At this point, Lewis Glucksman patted Richard Fuld on the shoulder and said, "Perhaps GOI can bring a new atmosphere to Lehman Brothers. If it doesn't work, wait until I come to Shearson."

·After American Express stabilizes, I’ll see if I can introduce you to it.”

It is true that Richard Fuld has his heart on his mind, but he is a tough-minded person. After thanking him freely and gracefully, he did not dwell on the current personnel turmoil at Lehman Brothers.

The next day, as soon as Richard Fuld arrived at the office, he received a notice to prepare for a trip to Xiangjiang.

Richard Fuld is a little confused. The business I am responsible for has nothing to do with Xiangjiang...

The vice president from Gaoyimiguo explained calmly, "Sir Gao wanted to meet the new management, and you were the one named by him personally. You don't even know Sir Gao, right? The name Gaoyimiguo is

From his last name."
