Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Xiao Qi has always been someone who just does what he thinks of. Before David and Sam here returned to the United States, he contacted Legry at the headquarters of Goldman Sachs in the United States, one of the senior partners of Goldman Sachs, and asked him to come to China.  A trip to the country.

    The relationship between Xiao Qi and Goldman Sachs cannot be said to be enemies, but it definitely cannot be said to be friends.

    ¡°Xiao Qi made money from Goldman Sachs at least twice, which made countless Goldman Sachs managers hate him to the bone.

    But they had to admire Xiao Qi¡¯s unparalleled foresight and his ability to make money and innovate.

    Countless Goldman Sachs managers are looking forward to cooperating with Xiao Qi in order to get a share of Xiao Qi's wealth feast.

    Xiao Qi entrusted Goldman Sachs to handle the acquisition of Infineon and Qimonda in Europe for nearly 10 billion U.S. dollars. They did it beautifully and received a return of no less than 500 million U.S. dollars.

    It was Legree who dealt with this matter.

    Speaking of Legree, many people may not remember that he was the vice president of Goldman Sachs Asia who came to Chengdu to find Xiao Qi to terminate the betting contract early when Xiao Qi first bet on oil with Goldman Sachs.

    At that time, he and Merrill Lynch¡¯s Compass became the laughing stock of everyone.

    But two years later, Compass, who had been scolding Xiao Qi, became a member of the laid-off army as Merrill Lynch was acquired by Bank of America, while Compass, who had been actively cooperating with Xiao Qi,  Legree, however, was praised by Xiao Qi, who entrusted him with full responsibility for the acquisitions of Infineon and Qimonda, which directly established his reputation at Goldman Sachs and made a lot of profits.

    Xiao Qi likes to find acquaintances to do things because it is convenient and they also understand Xiao Qi¡¯s needs.  Xiao Qi's goal can be achieved in the fastest and best way.

    ??The work of acquiring Marvel can be simple or complicated.

    The simple thing is that as long as you have money, if you keep spending it, sooner or later Marvel will not be able to stand it.  Directly sell Marvel to Xiao Qi.

    But the complexity lies in the fact that this negotiation requires a lot of energy. It requires a mature team to carry out long-term and arduous negotiations with Marvel, and this team must be prestigious, experienced, and capable, just like a lobbying team.  You have to be strong to fulfill your employer's difficult requirements.

    Although in the eyes of ordinary people, Goldman Sachs is simply a group of bad assholes, but they are in the American capital world and the American financial world.  But it has a great reputation and a very good reputation.

    Credibility and reputation are different.

    Goldman Sachs may have a bad reputation, but they must ensure their credibility.

    ¡°As long as you leave the matter to me, Goldman Sachs, then I, Goldman Sachs, will get it done for you.

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? together and I will get rich rewards, that is what I should.

    If it doesn¡¯t work well, I¡¯ll pay for it and apologize, which is natural.

    That¡¯s why so many acquisitions are related to Goldman Sachs, why after the financial crisis.  Everyone is crusading against Goldman Sachs, but Goldman Sachs pays high-profile bonuses to every employee. This is a sign of its confidence and strength.

    Of course Xiao Qi doesn¡¯t like Goldman Sachs.  , I don¡¯t know how many times I have cheated Chinese companies, so Xiao Qi also cheated them many times.

    ¡°But this does not prevent Xiao Qi from using Goldman Sachs, because Goldman Sachs is efficient, quick and timely.

    On the morning of the third day, Legree arrived at Fairy Company's reception room in high spirits and stood in front of the window.  Looking at the various buildings of the Fairy Company, Legree was filled with emotions.

    "I can't believe it. When I first came to Chengdu, Fairy Company was just an emerging force. Now it has become a very important giant in the world's smart electronics industry. You have such a talent, Mr. Qi. You are really a genius!"  Legree praised seriously.

    "No matter how good my talent is, there is no guarantee that my descendants will be like me." Xiao Qi said with a smile, "Come, have a cup of coffee. This is produced by Caiyun here. Nestl¨¦ will change its name and sell it for 10  Double the price and the taste is pretty good. ¡±

    Many people know that multinational companies purchase excellent raw materials from underdeveloped countries, package them with their brands, and sell them at high prices, and so does Legry.

    He sat down, took a sip with a smile, and nodded: "Well, the taste is very pure, no worse than Colombian coffee."

    Xiao Qi nodded slightly, "Caiyun is a good place. It not only produces one of the most famous teas in China, but also produces coffee. It also has the most pristine beauty in the world. If you have the opportunity, you can take your family on vacation.  ¡±

    "I've noted it down." Legree shrugged, "But maybe my wife and children have this opportunity, and I won't have this kind of leisure until I retire."

      Goldman Sachs¡¯ profits are very generous, especially as a senior partner, you get even more.

    But their pressure is also very high. You have to be the smartest people in the world to be qualified. Even the smartest people in the world are not guaranteed to fail. At that time, it would be a trivial matter to lose everything, let alone  There are serious ones.

    Xiao Qi has no time to care about their bad things. He spends all day thinking about harmful things. It would be strange if God doesn't punish them.

    "After receiving your entrustment from Mr. Qi, my team has already started preliminary preparations. I will report to you now." Legree couldn't wait to talk about work without finishing a cup of coffee.

    "Okay." Xiao Qi waved his hand.

    "Marvel Comics is a veteran comic company with a 69-year history and the second largest comic company in the United States. They have created more than a hundred comic hero images, influencing generations of young people in the United States, and they still continue to this day.  Various comics are being published, influencing young people.

    However, the development of Marvel Comics in recent years has lagged behind its old rival DC Comics, even though their "Fantastic Four", "Spider-Man", "X-Men" and other series have been put on the screen.  , but it is still not as good as DC Comics, which has Time Warner as its backer.  Under such circumstances, they expanded aggressively in the past few years. They wanted to invest in peripheral property rights and develop hero live-action movies, but in the end they expanded too fast and various resources could not keep up.

    ?According to our judgment, it is mainly due to the limitations of computer technology.  It is impossible to show the fierce fighting scenes and magnificent scenes of these heroes in Marvel comics.  With the development of IMAX and 3D technology, this trend will slowly change, which may usher in a spring for Marvel comics.

    The top management of Marvel Comics also made the same judgment.  So even though the current situation is so bad, they are still struggling to support themselves.  Looking forward to the spring of movie adaptation of hero comics.  And the shares held by these managers exceed 50%, which means that there is no way to acquire it without persuading them.  "

    After a pause, Legree added: "So. Mr. Qi, it is very difficult for you to acquire Marvel Comics. It is a very good challenge."

    Xiao Qi said lightly: "If it were not difficult, I would not think of using your Goldman Sachs. Citigroup, Credit Suisse First Boston, Green Pine Capital, etc., can do it. But I believe that in this regard, you  Goldman Sachs is the most professional and the best!¡±

    Legree smiled confidently: "Thank you for the compliment, Qi Shao. In fact, we think so ourselves. I think this breakthrough should be due to some minor troubles that Marvel Comics has encountered recently."

    "Little trouble?"

    "Yeah, it's just a little trouble for now, but if Goldman Sachs gets involved," Legree said with a smile, "Marvel has been working on hero movies with the three major movie companies recently. They are too determined to give in.  Only sell the copyright to get a certain profit, but invest your own money.

    But they are a comic company.  How much money can you have?  Therefore, a lot of their money was collected from various sources, including loans from banks and loans from private individuals.  This money may be nothing in ordinary times, but if they meet someone who is willing to do a little work, I am afraid that their loan will be called back.  "

    Xiao Qi understood, and Legree still used Goldman Sachs's strategy.  First directly suppress Marvel's stock price, and then slowly negotiate to lower the price.

    ?According to Goldman Sachs¡¯ ability to make waves.  Coupled with the current harsh environment, Marvel simply cannot resist it.  It is inevitable to feel shaken and uneasy.

    "So, how much do you need?" Xiao Qi said directly, "What I want is the fastest speed, money is not an issue."

    By the time Avatar came out in December 2009, it told people how dazzling the effects of IMAX and 3D were, thus completely kicking off the era of computer stunts, and Marvel's heroes could finally be put to use.

    It is impossible for Xiao Qi to wait until then to complete the negotiations. At that time, Marvel's shareholders would say that they would not sell Marvel at all.

    Legree didn¡¯t know Xiao Qi¡¯s plan, but he admired Xiao Qi¡¯s acquisition client who paid generously.

    "Unlike Infineon, which is in crisis, Marvel's foundation is still very strong, so we need to take more steps to operate." Legree said: "Counting various operations, plus the lobbying and lobbying of board members,  I estimate it will cost around 300 million US dollars to buy it, so I can guarantee that I will win over Marvel before June next year!¡±

    "500 million, get it by March next year at the latest!" Xiao Qi did not agree with his idea, "I am willing to pay the highest price of 5 billion US dollars for Marvel, in cash!"

    , in the form of shares and cash.

    ?The reason why Xiao Qi is much higher than them is because Taylor made the acquisition in his personal name, which is completely different from Disney's acquisition in the name of the company.

    It can still grow and develop with Disney on its back, but if it is bought by a private person, these shareholders will have doubts.

    For this reason, you can only make them excited by spending large sums of money.

    Legree swallowed his saliva, obviously shocked by Xiao Qi's generosity.

    I¡¯ve seen rich people, and I¡¯ve seen people spend a lot of money, but I¡¯ve never seen anyone so generous!

    After a long time, he nodded solemnly: "As you wish, Qi Shao, we have accepted this acquisition entrustment!!" (To be continued)

    ps: I went home to celebrate the New Year. It turns out that it has been sunny in Sichuan during this period, and it is getting hotter as the Spring Festival approaches. The scholar went out wearing a coat and sweater today, but I saw many people wearing shirts r655
