Chapter 183: The Largest Political Investment

……

"Wait a minute!"

As everyone was about to get up and leave, Patti Sellers hurriedly spoke up for everyone to stop.

"Boss, everybody. I think before we go any further, we need to address one question: Where will the money come to buy Pacific and Southern California? Even though they are now on the verge of bankruptcy because of the energy crisis in California, we need at least $2 billion or more if we want to take a majority stake in both. But now Phoenix Capital's No. 6 and No. 7 funds add up to only $137 million, which is too far from the target!"

As the former CFO of Phoenix Capital, he is very clear about the company's internal financial situation.

"Our financial solution is to raise a $750 million fund for the company itself, then issue a $300 million bond with the company's future revenue, and finally use Netflix's shares as collateral to seek a financial leverage of about $1.65 billion, raising a total of $2.7 billion!" After a pause, Paul Lehman's eyes shifted to Guo Shouyun, which meant self-evident, "We hope to get the support of the boss on this project." ”

"If I hadn't gotten your proposal in advance, I wonder if you would have had this plan after hearing that I sold a second ABS asset-backed security!"

After a pause, a flash of thought flashed in his eyes, Guo Shouyun said quickly: "If you want us to support you financially, there is no problem." However, that would require a detailed M&A proposal and a detailed analysis of the future energy market. and the company's development plan for at least 10 years after the merger and acquisition... As long as the information you prepare convinces me, I will give you more support!"

"Yes!"

Paul Lehman's eyes lit up and he replied confidently.

"Who's in trouble?"

After everyone looked at each other, they did not speak again.

"Dismiss!"

Guo Shouyun waved his hand and walked out of the conference room with Wendy.

"Boss, did you really decide to support Paul's proposal?" Wendy said worriedly as she returned to the office.

"As long as he can make me feel that this plan is feasible, I think I should support him!"

"But now we're in a situation...!"

"Wendy!" After interrupting her, Guo Shouyun smiled, "Do you think that in my current state, I will still fall into abject poverty?"

After thinking for a moment, Wendy shook her head. The talent of the man in front of her is the only one she has seen in her life, and this is what attracts her to the other party.

Even if Google, LinkedIn, PayPal, and even Kwok's Business, Phoenix, and Matrix are all lost, as long as I still have this brain, as long as I can still write books, I can still live the life of a billionaire." So, while the threat from Enron, Morgan and Goldman Sachs is strong, and going up against them will even undo the efforts of the past year, as long as I am alive, then there is still a chance to make a comeback. In addition, I also reserved for myself the retreat of Huaxia. ”

Wendy suddenly remembered that the boss in front of him seemed to have never used his assets in that country on the other side of the world to do a little capital operation from investing in Huaxia to the present.

Looking at the beauty's wide eyes, Guo Shouyun smiled confidently: "After thinking about it for a while, I also figured it out." Rather than trembling and seeking self-preservation under the threat of Enron, Goldman Sachs, and Morgan, it is better to do all your best to 'fight' with them. If I lose, I'll start all over again, and if I win, I'll get more!"

"Boss, I will fight with you to the end!"

The beautiful woman's hot eyes moved Guo Shouyun's heart, and he was a little overwhelmed. After coughing twice, he changed the subject, "Are the things I asked you to prepare ready?"

After a hint of loss flashed in her eyes, Wendy, who quickly cleaned up her mood, nodded, "It's ready, put it in the office next to it!"

"That's good, remember to remind me tomorrow!"

……

Rose Park, an upscale neighborhood adjacent to the University of Chicago. Policing, greenery, and services are not as good as those of the top affluent neighborhoods, but they are among the highest levels that middle-class families can enjoy in Chicago.

"Boss, it's here!"

Guo Shouyun briefly looked at the two-story villa surrounded by a fence and had a pale yellow appearance, then pushed the car door and walked down.

"Carl, stay here!"

The captain of the Blackwater bodyguards, who had come with him, nodded. Then took out the gifts prepared in advance from the trunk, Guo Shouyun, who had been here twice before, pushed open the wooden door with ease, took Wendy along the gravel road to the door and rang the doorbell.

After a short time, footsteps could be heard from far and near.

"Click!"

With a soft sound, a tall black man appeared in front of Guo Shouyun.

"Welcome, Bruce!"

"Beckac, congratulations!"

After stepping forward and hugging the other party, Guo Shouyun handed over the gift in his hand.

"It's a gift for Michelle!"

"Thanks, Wendy, you're getting prettier!"

After thanking him, "I'll go see Michelle first, and you can talk!"

It's not the first time Wendy has come here, with her mature communication skills, and her relationship with Ao Guanhai's family is even stronger than Guo Shouyun, who can be befriended.

"She's on the second floor!" Okuguanhai reminded.

"Yes!"

Wendy waved her hand, and the tall figure quickly disappeared around the corner of the stairs.

Later, Ao Guanhai took Guo Shouyun to the living room, and after the two made a pot of coffee, they sat down on the sofa.

"Barack, what did you think about the last time I mentioned on the phone?"

"Sorry, Bruce. I still think the job of a professor at the University of Chicago Law School is more suitable for me!" Ao Guanhai shook his head.

Guo Shouyun shrugged, "I guessed that you would refuse." But now that Michelle has been produced, you can't stop it anymore. Moreover, the work of charitable foundations is what Michelle is good at. ”

"Bruce, you know Michelle's personality. If she doesn't want to, it's useless for me to lobby for you!" said Ao Guanhai with a smile.

"This is also my biggest headache!" After a pause, Guo Shouyun glanced at the man sitting opposite, "But I think with Michelle's wisdom and talent, she will definitely not refuse things that will help her husband enter politics in the future!"

Ao Guanhai's eyes narrowed, he never concealed his desire to enter politics, which was the main reason why he refused Guo Shouyun to be the chairman of the 'Bruce Education Charity Foundation'.
