Chapter 556: Merger Impact

Why has Galaxy Milbank attracted so much attention from the financial markets? Although its brokerage business dominates, its assets under management should not be underestimated, not only that, it has more than 20,000 employees, more than 1,000 branches around the world, and manages $2 trillion in customer assets (this is not an exaggeration, during this period, Blackstone managed more than $3 trillion in assets, Allianz also exceeded $2 trillion in assets, there were about 10 financial groups over $1 trillion, and Morgan Stanley Smith Barney managed $1.7 trillion in customer assets in history). But the company is clearly not as valuable as the client assets he manages, and the $10 billion valuation is a true reflection of the company.

As a Chinese financial predator, Lu He officially came to the front of the stage. There are obviously not too many people about Lu He's wealth, and Forbes has not investigated it clearly, after all, Galaxy Capital is very complicated in this province, and many of his assets are left in offshore financial companies. In addition to the shares in Galaxy Capital, there are many other assets, which are his private affairs, and Zhou Shi did not ask about them. His stake in Galaxy Capital is less than ten percent, that's for sure. Although Zhou Shi is generous, he is not an idiot, and their previous wealth miracle is more due to the prophet and Zhou Shi's personal asset support, so that they have the current wealth fission. As for whether Lu He is satisfied, he is both concerned and not very concerned, a good system and implementation are enough to eliminate most of the problems. As the scale of his "secretarial office" continues to expand and his strength continues to increase, his control over Galaxy Capital and Sixiang Fund has become stronger and stronger, which is also one of the reasons why Lu He has come to the forefront, and more people are responsible for the work behind the scenes. Not only that, according to Lu He's own idea, his shares in Galaxy Capital will be gradually replaced by shares in Galaxy Milbar. In other words, Galaxy Capital will become a completely independent private limited company. Of course, no one knows about these things yet. To this end, Zhou Shi has shifted the center of Galaxy Capital to East West Bank, and through several acquisitions, including the recent acquisition of IndyMack Bank, Galaxy Capital and Four Elephant Fund (which has legally disassociated itself from Galaxy Capital) have joined forces to control more than 55 percent of East West Bank's shares (of which Galaxy Capital controls more than 35 percent of the shares).

With the intensification of financial regulation and the future Occupy Wall Street movement, the pure investment banking model has gradually come to an end, and Goldman Sachs has become a bank holding company. Galaxy Meibang must also make corresponding changes, in this case, why not let the bank join the competition, the success of **** proves the prospect of this road, not to mention that Zhou Shi's attempt in the financial field is still focused on the time payment company combined with technology, the future market value of PayPal exceeds 100 billion US dollars, much higher than the market value of Goldman Sachs, the strongest investment bank on the surface, which is already very revealing. On the basis of big data and artificial intelligence leading the industry, the development of Internet finance of Time Pay is destined to become a leader in this industry. As for East West Bank, it is already good at retail banking, and in the context of the era of "no retail is unstable, those who win retailers, win the world, and get the future", coupled with the transformation of Internet technology, is equivalent to buying a ticket to the future.

The cunning rabbit is dead and the lackey cooks, Zhou Shi's practices have more or less such meanings, but the compensation given to Lu He is also unprecedented, and it is not enough to say that he owes Lu He, at least Zhou Shi thinks that he is already very authentic. Some things are not something that can be bought with money, but also represent status and status. According to the agreement, in the second half of this year or the first half of next year, Galaxy Milbank will be listed, and before that, the final share replacement will be completed. This is one of the reasons why the negotiations have dragged on for so long.

I thought that last year was the year with the biggest changes, but I didn't expect this year's buying and buying to be so crazy, and even a little out of control. Zhou Shi reflected and adjusted several times, and even returned to China to hide, but it did not reduce this out-of-control trend, so that he finally let go of everything in his hands and came to Hawaii for a vacation, and with the two closest people, Hu Tianhudi, did many things that were only in dreams before. But after diving more than 20 meters into the sea and facing the secluded sea, especially after turning off the lights, he fell into a rare tranquility.

The outside world will not stop because of Zhou Shi's tranquility, and the financial circles at home and abroad have a lot more discussions about Zhou Shi, which basically occupies the mainstream topic of this period. He didn't hide much from his estate, but he didn't know much about it. However, the close relationship between Galaxy Capital, Sixiang Fund, Time Holdings, Friends.com, and Guoke Mobile and Zhou Shi is almost an open secret. F&F and Galaxy Smith were established almost at the same time, giving everyone a lot of imagination, and almost no one would associate this connection.

"I still underestimate that child, this cooperation is more with snacks, you pay attention to maintaining a good relationship with him in the future, remind your brother not to mess around, if there is anything, I will not help him." Li Bancheng called his successor over and told him his life

"Okay, Dad!"

"This offspring is really powerful, it seems that you have to be careful this time!"

"Do you say that Zhou Shi really gave up the shares of Friends Network for the sake of Meibang Securities?

"Things should be right, otherwise it wouldn't be so coincidental, and such a large securities company is not something that ordinary people can acquire, and if there is no huge transfer of interests, the United States will not let the Chinese make it big!"

"It shouldn't make much money to acquire Meibang, but F&F is likely to be another Google, and I couldn't figure it out at first, and Zhou Shi lost a lot this time. "Another person

"Then why did he do this?"

"Who knows, the two companies don't make sense. "Someone

......

"I didn't expect him to do it!"

"This kid is really amazing, why hasn't there been any news about him recently?"

"It looks like he's gone on vacation with his two little girlfriends!"

"It's good to be young! I'm still in the mood to play when I encounter such a big thing. "Big guy

"I'm afraid he has a headache now, those two girls are what he likes, and they are both very assertive, and I don't know if this kid can handle it......" A certain big guy actually knows so carefully, it's really boring.

"But he did this, which made our overseas propaganda work a lot more complicated, why didn't anyone persuade him not to do it?"

"He has no such responsibilities and obligations, and some actions in China have already attracted the attention of the US imperialists...... "A certain bigwig still admires Zhou Shi very much."

.......

No matter what others say, Zhou Shi likes diving, and under the guidance of the instructor, he quickly went from being unfamiliar to proficient, witnessing the beauty of the seabed, and letting his soul go from restless to quiet and peaceful.
