"That's half right. ”

"Don't expose the Galaxy Fund, but Philip Brothers can go all out long oil futures, and it needs a win to restore investor confidence. ”

"Just pushing Philip Brothers to the front of the stage was able to better disguise the actions of the Galaxy Fund. ”

Xia Yu said lightly.

After speaking, his gaze swept over everyone's faces, and he ordered: "Each of you originally had an investment group that was responsible for it, but now it remains the same, Xue He will work harder, and the Philip Brothers Company wants you to be responsible for implementing the plan." ”

"Understood!"

Next, Xia Yu dealt with some of everyone's problems on the spot, and after the meeting, everyone performed their duties and acted quickly.

Xia Yu returned to his office, thought about it, picked up the phone and called Elena, and after chatting all over the world, Xia Yu informed her of his judgment on oil futures, and asked her to tell her father Duke Carter Howard on her behalf.

Anyway, the oil futures market is too huge, and one person can't make all the money at all, so when it's time, he can sell his favor.

As long as Duke Carter Howard benefits from this, he will always give back to Xia Yu at a certain time.

As for George Berkeley, Xia Yu did not inform him, after all, Bright Fund does not have a branch in the United States and cannot participate in long oil futures.

At present, in the world, there is only the New York Mercantile Exchange in the United States to list oil futures contracts, according to the historical trajectory, the United Kingdom will not be listed until next year at the earliest, and the New York Mercantile Exchange to compete differently.

After the oil futures were arranged, Xia Yu was more leisurely, and had more time to pay attention to the political situation in the United States, occasionally playing golf and attending a cocktail party to expand his network.

Until September 18th.

Xia Yu was studying the American entertainment media market in his office, and two knocks on the door would wake him up.

He followed the prestige, and saw Xue He standing at the door with a folder on his face full of joy.

The corners of Xia Yu's mouth raised slightly, nodded to Xue He, and motioned for him to come in.

Xue He walked in quickly, and said: "Boss, it lasted a total of eighteen days, and all the shares of all shareholders of Salomon Brothers Company were taken, this is all the agreements and equity certificates, please take a look!"

"Good!"

Xia Yu couldn't help but cheer for Xue He, his eyes were full of appreciation.

Hearing the boss's applause, Xue He's face was full of smiles, but he said modestly: "It's the boss that you guide well." ”

Xia Yu smiled and said to Xue He: "I'll take a look first, you find a place to sit by yourself, and if you want to drink tea, you can do it yourself." ”

"Good boss!"

Xue He immediately responded, then walked to the side to make tea, after brewing, he poured a cup for Xia Yu first, and then poured a cup for himself, sat on the sofa and waited, looking at Xia Yu from time to time.

Because Salomon Brothers is a partnership-type company, although it is not listed, it has many shareholders, a total of 19.

However, most of the 19 have very small shareholdings, ranging from 2 percent to a few tenths of a percent, and those who are eligible for equity are the core people who are old and have made great contributions to Salomon Brothers, and the general senior and middle-level officials are only qualified for bonuses and dividends.

There are only five real core major shareholders, and the sum of these five holds 86.3 percent.

The acquisition of Salomon Brothers is the real conquer of these five major shareholders.

After these five shareholders were taken down, the other scattered shares were easily bought.

In the end, Philip Brothers had to spend $314 million on the acquisition.

Of the $314 million, all the shareholders of Salomon Brothers together received $275 million, which was distributed proportionately to the shares.

The remaining $39 million spent is a commission paid to Goldman Sachs, which is definitely extremely high, but it is also deserved by Goldman Sachs.

Goldman Sachs took only 18 days from the beginning of receiving the order to formulating the plan to the completion of the task, and the price was pressed to $275 million, and it was definitely qualified to take this money.

If Goldman Sachs delays a month to complete the equity acquisition, and the price is not below $300 million, they can get a commission of $5 million, and if it is overtime, according to the special VAM contract, Goldman Sachs will have to pay back.

Overall, in Xia Yu's opinion, this deal is cost-effective and the money is well spent.

I looked at the independent equity transfer agreements, and when I turned to the last one, Xia Yu's eyes froze, and the figure of one of the world's ten richest men in the world in the future appeared in his mind.

Bloomberg's Father – Michael Bloomberg!

In later generations, he was worth more than 50 billion US dollars, and once squeezed into the top ten of the Forbes list of the world's richest people, even if he was a little closer, he was hovering in the dozens, and he was definitely the big man among the big guys.

It's just now......

Looking at the equity transfer price on the contract, Xia Yu couldn't help but smile.

Four million million dollars!

That's the amount Michael Bloomberg would receive for his 1.8 percent stake.

Not even one thousandth of the peak in the previous life!

It seems that according to the historical trajectory, when Salomon Brothers was acquired, he still got 10 million US dollars, but under Xia Yu's butterfly effect, he only got half of it.

But considering Salomon Brothers' recent losses in the futures market, it's not uncommon for the company to lose half of its value.

"I remember that in his previous life, Michael Bloomberg used 10 million dollars as start-up capital to create Bloomberg's predecessor, Innovation Market Systems, and now he has less than 5 million, and I don't know if he can succeed again. ”

"But ......"

Thinking of this, Xia Yu felt that it was too risky to bet that Michael Bloomberg would not succeed, if he really got out of Bloomberg and then received the support of Wall Street bigwigs, his Jiuding News Agency would be uncomfortable.

And with Michael Bloomberg's ability, the risk is really large.

In the words of Michael Bloomberg's self-evaluation, that is, "among the practitioners in the financial industry, he knows the most about computers, and among those who understand computers, he knows finance best".

Of course, for now, Xia Yu, a BUG character, must be excluded.

Straight to the point.

At present, although there are many news agencies in the United States, they are all biased towards the political field, and half of them are in the financial and commercial fields, which is Xia Yu's Jiuding News Agency.

Now Jiuding News Agency is attacking this market, and he has ordered Yan Wenhan to cooperate with Seattle Computer Systems to develop financial information service terminals.

If Bloomberg really comes out, considering Xia Yu's habit of eating alone, Wall Street bigwigs will fully support Bloomberg and Jiuding News Agency to grab the market as long as they see the slightest possibility, so as to share the meat and eat it.

"Knock Knock Knock ......"

Xia Yu looked pensive, and his middle finger subconsciously tapped the table, attracting Xue He's attention.

When the latter saw the expression of the boss Xia Yu, he thought that something was wrong, and his heart couldn't help but rise, feeling that the boss's dragon well before the rain was not fragrant.

"These methods are not good, the safest way is to hold him in your hands, the specific way is to choose one of the two, the most important thing is to tie him up for life. ”

After brushing away one suboptimal idea after another in his mind, and after leaving two, Xia Yu finally made a decision.

He put down the materials and beckoned to Xue He: "Xue He, come here." ”

Xue He immediately got up, came to Xia Yu and sat down, waiting with bated breath for Xia Yu's order.

"Everyone at Salomon Brothers is still there, right?"

As soon as Xia Yu's words fell, Xue He immediately nodded and replied: "Yes, according to your orders, all employees are still in the company." ”

After speaking, he felt inappropriate, and added: "However, many major shareholders who are senior executives have urged me to take over the company as soon as possible, and it can only be delayed for half a month at most, and someone will leave." ”

Xia Yu smiled and bowed his head: "Very good, it doesn't take half a month, just don't leave." ”

"So, in the name of Philip Brothers, you will convene a meeting of all the executives of Salomon Brothers, and the time will be set for nine o'clock tomorrow morning, and I will come with you at that time. ”

Xue He immediately replied loudly: "Yes!"

After thinking about it, Xia Yu added again: "By the way, before I get off work this afternoon, give me a list of all the personnel of Salomon Brothers." ”

"If it's okay, you can do it now. ”

"I'm fine, boss, I'll do it. ”

"Well, go ahead!"
