Chapter 388 Follow-up Goldman Sachs

……

What Guo Shouyun needs is not money, but connections in the mainland. At this point, Li Ka-shing and Lee Shau-kee can probably meet his requirements in the whole of Hong Kong. As for the political family in the mainland, it stems from the awe of his previous life, and he doesn't want to be too contaminated. If you are implicated when the big anti-corruption storm comes, it will be really unlucky.

Li Zeju pondered for a moment, "If you think it's suitable, I have a suitable candidate to recommend to you!"

"Who?"

Singapore's Temasek Holdings... When the mainland first opened up, officials were sent to Singapore almost every year to study and inspect, and as Singapore's state-owned companies, they had sufficient capital and deep connections in the mainland, so they were good partners for cooperation. ”

Temasek's name, Kwok Shou Wan, is no stranger, but he is not interested in the giant company, which controls 47% of the total market capitalisation of the Singapore stock market.

"I don't have much of a relationship with Temasek. And I don't want to be dominated by the hustle and bustle in the collaboration. Guo Shouyun refused.

After glancing at him, Li Zeju nodded and did not continue the topic.

"To be honest, you suddenly gave me such amazing information, and I couldn't give you an answer for a while!"

"I know. You go back and discuss with Ling Zun, as long as I give me a positive message during my stay in Hong Kong. ”

"That's fine. … However, I suddenly have no interest in visiting the park now!"

"Haha, I was planning to go back too. Why don't we stop here today, there will be a chance to meet again in the future. ”

"That's right, this is a gift that my father asked me to bring you!" After taking the beautifully wrapped cardboard box in the bodyguard's hand, he handed it to Guo Shouyun.

"Can I open it?"

"Sure, but not here. Li Zeju gestured with his eyes to the tourists next to him who were constantly looking here.

As the largest park in Hong Kong, Penfold Park has no shortage of visitors.

"I almost forgot, so I'll see it when I get home. By the way, thank you Ling Zun for me. ”

"He's going to thank you. The Mangzhong Fund has made a lot of money for him. ”

Guo Shouyun smiled and patted his left arm, "Let's go." ”

Li Zeju nodded, and the two left the horse farm together.

When I got home, after opening the gift from the Li family, "Tang Yin's "Lady Picture"? ”

Although this painting is not Tang Yin's masterpiece, it is also the top of the second-class cultural relics, with a market price of no less than 10 million Chinese coins, which can be regarded as a generous gift.

"Knock...!"

There was a sudden knock on the door.

"Come in!"

Looking at Rebecca who pushed the door in, "Is there something wrong?"

"I have found the candidate you asked me to find, who was born in the mainland and has experience in real estate operation. ”

"So fast?"

"Thanks to LinkedIn, it has the most comprehensive job search report for senior talents in Hong Kong. ”

"That's right. Guo Shouyun nodded, "Do you have any information?"

"Of course. … I've picked three of them for you to choose from. Rebecca took out three documents and put them in front of Guo Shouyun.

Tang Wenfang, female, 36 years old, is the director of Kowloon City, a Hong Kong real estate agency company. Graduated from Chinese University of Hong Kong, a native of Pengcheng. ”

Dai Li, male, 43 years old, deputy general manager of the market research department of Midland Group, once served as the general manager of Midland Group Yangcheng Property Company. Guangdong Province ~ mountain people. ”

"Qian Zhenglin, male, 40 years old, deputy general manager of Hong Kong Zhongtai Property Management Company, graduated from the University of Hong Kong with a master's degree in economics and management, and is a native of Modu!"

Guo Shouyun roughly flipped through the three resumes, "From above, they all look good." ”

"Do you want me to notify them to come for an interview?"

"Not yet. Guo Shouyun shook his head after thinking about it, "In this way, give them a week." Ask them to write me a 'China Real Estate Market Assessment Report for the Next 10 Years' within a week. I'll wait until I've read it before I make a decision. ”

"Understood!"

"You can take a look at these two documents. After reading it, let Zhang Lei prepare a few assistants for you, and talk to Changshi with you as the main person. ”

After taking it and looking at it, Rebecca nodded.

"What about after the talk?"

"The Global Fund will be managed by GCA Trust, so after the talks, let them be in charge of financial supervision. Also, during this time, you helped me register a global real estate company in Hong Kong, as a subsidiary of Global Fund, this company operates independently, except for the financial supervision of GCA Trust and Global Fund, the rest of the business is in charge of the CEO. ”

"Yes!"

"That's all I have to say. It's okay, you go down and get busy!"

After Rebecca left, Guo Shouyun sat behind his desk and thought for a moment, then took out his mobile phone and dialed Universal Studios CEO Chris McLean.

"Boss. ”

"Hmm, have the funds allocated by the headquarters arrived?"

"It's here. A total of $1.8 billion has all been hit on the books of Universal Studios. ”

"What about the plan?"

"The approval for the expansion of Hollywood Studios in Hollywood and Orlando, 'Pirates of the Caribbean's Sea Quest' and 'The Magic World of Harry Potter', has come down, and the land acquisition is going well, but at a higher price. The expansion of Universal Studios Mediterraneo in Barcelona is still being discussed. Because we are the majority shareholder, we just need to convince the Barcelona government. And Universal Studios' attraction to tourists was enough to prompt the passage of the Barcelona City Council. It's just that their administrative efficiency is too low, and it may take about a month to get results. ”

"One more month or one month less is not a big problem, as long as it can be successful. … What about Osaka?"

"Osaka is troublesome, and although we have acquired 9% of the shares held by the Osaka City Government and increased the stake in Universal Studios Osaka to 24%, we are still not dominant from Goldman Sachs' 41%. ”

"Have you asked Goldman Sachs? Are they willing to sell their shares?"

"Asked. But they're asking $1.5 billion for this stake, which is an exaggeration!"

It's really too exaggerated. The investment in the entire Universal Studios Osaka is only $2 billion. Moreover, there has been no turnaround until now. 41% equity, let alone $1.5 billion, 1 billion is too expensive.

"Boss, we are currently looking to acquire more shares of Universal Studios Osaka from other shareholders. But Goldman Sachs is also moving with us. Looks like they don't intend for us to actually complete the control of Universal Studios Osaka!"

Guo Shouyun's eyes narrowed, and the two familiar faces of Blanc Fein and Stephen Bryan came to mind. These two people, one CEO and one president, are the real brains of Goldman Sachs. And the most cunning Wall Street banker he's ever seen.

"How much equity does Goldman Sachs have in Universal Studios now?"

“42.4%！”

"Oh, didn't you say they did it?

"I don't know too much either. At a time when we stopped buying from the market, Goldman Sachs seemed to have stopped. We do it, and they do it. ”

"Is it always like this?"

"Yes, all the time... Boss, I think Goldman Sachs might be waiting for you to reach out to them. Chris McLean has worked in the business world for many years and has a lot of experience, so he can naturally guess some clues from Goldman Sachs' actions.

Guo Shouyun's eyes flashed with a gleam, and he could roughly guess what Goldman Sachs wanted.

"Universal Studios Osaka is on hold for the time being, waiting for my news. ”

"Yes!"

"What about Singapore and China, have they come into contact?"

"It's been contacted. The Singapore side is very willing to cooperate with us, and substantive negotiations are already underway. However, Singapore has a limited area, and I'm afraid the area of Universal Studios will not be too large. In addition, in terms of equity, Singapore wants to be able to get more, which is the main disagreement between the two sides at present. ”

"Regarding the area, taking into account the actual situation in Singapore, we will increase it as much as possible, and there is no upper limit! Regarding the equity, we must get 51% and hold the main management of the park in our hands, otherwise we will give up cooperation. Of course, when negotiating, try to be tactful. ”

Universal Studios is one of the pillar businesses planned by Guo Shouyun for the matrix group, and the initiative must be in his own hands.

"Understood!"

"What about Huaxia?"

Compared with Singapore, the magic capital and the capital are the places that Guo Shouyun values.

"Both governments are willing to negotiate with us, but Huaxia's foreign investment of more than US$30 million requires the approval of the Central Development and Reform Commission, which may delay some time. Moreover, our park occupies a large area, and it may take a long time to implement it. ”

"It's okay to take a long time, but I want to see the project move forward step by step. ”

"Yes!"

"Where are you now?"

"Huaxia Magic City! Accompanied by the officials of the Magic City Government, the site is being selected for the park. ”

"Where are they?"

"It hasn't been decided yet, but the alternative targets are Tang Town in Pudong New Area, Ruiqiao Town in Minxing District, and Jiangqiao Town in Putuo District. ”

Guo Shouyun nodded. Having lived in the magic capital for nearly ten years in his previous life, of course he knew that the address of Disneyland was located in Chuansha New Town, but the time when Disneyland was built was 09. It's just the beginning of 03 now, and at this time, outside the middle ring of the magic capital, it is almost the same as outside the third ring road of the capital, and it is basically the suburbs. There will naturally be changes in the location of the park, and Guo Shouyun did not blindly command with his own experience.

"What about the partner?"

"Huaxia Youth Hostel, as well as the Modu Municipal Government. These two have been decided for the time being, but negotiations have just begun, and they are only in contact at present, and it will take time before they are truly implemented. ”

"I understand. If you go ahead according to the plan, if there is a problem that cannot be solved, call me. ”

"Boss. I know you're making a lot of money from the oil market, so if you can support Universal Studios?" said Chris McLean with a hint of flattery in his tone.

"How do you know I'm making money?"

"Now the media all over the world is saying that! Especially the Wall Street Journal and the New York Times, their financial sections are almost the exclusive sections of you and the Thunder Fund. ”

Guo Shouyun is not deaf, and he naturally knows the reports of the American media, especially the Wall Street Journal and the New York Times, which are not very good at dealing with him.

"Complete the task I have given you with peace of mind. As long as you do a good job and really have financial difficulties, I will naturally support you!"

"Yes, thank you, boss!"

"It's okay, let's hang up first!"

"Okay!

"Goodbye!"

After hanging up the phone, Guo Shouyun took his mobile phone and thought about it, then found the familiar name from the phone book and dialed it.
