539 Li Feng's Wall Street ambitions

"Mr. Li, CSCB is listed in four places, I think it should be something that you have planned, I think we Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley have a lot of experience in this area and can help you.

If you agree, we will send people to CSCB so that CSCB can complete the merger and coordinate all parties as soon as possible, so that CSCB can complete all preparations before the listing as soon as possible. ”

As soon as Paulson finished speaking, John Mack said directly: "Also, I think that since Feixun is not short of funds, don't you think financing is very unnecessary, in fact, it is completely possible to directly promote the listing plan, I think with the ability of Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs, it is enough to ensure that Feixun can be listed smoothly, isn't it?"

After listening to Li Feng's words, Paulson and John Mack respectively put forward conditions.

"That's it, the rest is another story, CSCB and Feixun here, but they can really consider the proposal of the two of you, maybe there is indeed a possibility of cooperation, I will think about it, and thank you two for your help. ”

Li Feng was really a little moved by what the two said, to be honest, CSCB's listing in four places had already been decided, and it was also one of the requirements of the local government when the bank was acquired, and Li Feng could only agree.

As for Feixun Technology, Li Feng has always felt that it is too early to go public, after all, he has long known that he will face the Internet bubble crisis in less than two years, and he naturally didn't think about going public at the beginning, but at this time, he suddenly found that if it is really listed, it may not be a bad thing.

If after the listing, the market value of Feixun soars, then when the stock price is at its peak, it is completely possible to cash out a part, which is all cash, and when the stock price falls to the trough, the cashed shares will be repurchased again, which is definitely a profitable business.

……

Bidding farewell to the two Wall Street bigwigs, Li Feng sat on the office chair and pondered, obviously, Li Feng's Silicon Valley itinerary will not be calm next, and he also needs personnel to assist, thinking of this, he couldn't help but pick up the phone and dial.

"John, this is an invitation letter from some investment institutions, there are invitations to the cocktail party, and there are also application letters for visits, can you take a look?" As soon as he hung up the phone, Wang Siqing walked in from outside and gave Li Feng a stack of cards again.

"BOSS, in addition to these invitations sent to you directly, you see, there are also various invitations sent to Feixun's side and valuation quotations about Feixun, etc., and my side has not been calm in the past two days. As soon as Wang Siqing finished speaking, Eric Schmidt was not to be outdone, and took out some documents and cards from the briefcase on the side and said with a smile.

"Wow... I'll take a look at it this afternoon, and, Annie, tomorrow you arrange for someone to pick up Bill and Eugene at the airport, and they'll both come over tomorrow. Li Feng took the documents and cards in the hands of the two, and then said to Wang Siqing with a smile.

"OK, don't worry, John, I'll arrange it. ”

"BOSS, did you let Bill and Eugene come...?" Hearing Li Feng's words, Eric Schmidt couldn't help but ask suspiciously.

"Haha... , I don't want to let go of such an opportunity, do you think I can take a stake in some good investment management companies or something, after all, it's Wall Street, how about these two?" Li Feng said with a smile and took out two invitation cards from the two piles of documents, which were BlackRock and Blackstone.

Well, English may be unfamiliar to most people, but if you speak Chinese, most Internet enthusiasts in later generations should have heard of these two names, BlackRock Group (Blackrock Group) and Blackstone Group.

……

Blackstone is known as the world's largest asset management company, and at the time of Li Feng's rebirth, it managed more than $5 trillion in assets, and Blackstone is known as the largest 'listed investment management company'.

In short, both companies are well-known in later generations, but today's Black Rock Company is established every two years, and although Blackstone Company has been established for more than 10 years, it is far from being as brilliant on Wall Street as later generations.

Another interesting phenomenon here is that Blackstone started in Blackstone, and the then president of Blackrock, Larry Fink, entered Blackstone, and proposed a financial management company at Blackstone, and finally when Blackstone established the company, Larry Fink became the chairman and CEO of the new company.

But after all, this is the establishment of Blackstone, and it is no wonder that Larry Fink's ability is too strong, and the development of the new company is really good, and even has the posture of catching up with the parent company Blackstone, naturally, with the improvement of Larry's strength, he is no longer satisfied with Blackstone's subsidiaries, and contradictions naturally appear.

The end result was Larry Fink's resignation and departure from Blackstone, but Larry Fink was also a good man, by no means a fuel-efficient lamp, and he brought in PNC Financial Group after leaving the company.

In '95, the asset management company that originally belonged to Blackstone merged with the asset management division of PNC Financial Group, and finally formed the new BlackRock Group, the new Blackrock Group, and Larry Fink became the chairman and CEO of the new company again.

Of course, PNC Financial Group has become the parent company of Black Rock Group, controlling more than 70% of the shares, and from this point of view, Larry Fink has just left the wolf's den of Blackstone and entered the tiger's mouth of PNC Financial Group. But at least Larry Fink kept his BlackRock or Black Rock brand and his position as CEO of BlackRock for the time being.

……

Because of the huge reputation of the two major groups in later generations, besides, Li Feng has long had thoughts about Wall Street, and when Rabier Weilbe and Li Shanquan entered his investment company, he also promised the two that he would not mind taking the two back to Wall Street when the time was right.

Li Feng naturally has a certain amount of thoughts about Wall Street, after all, Wall Street's claim that he controls the world has been verified at least to a certain extent, and now Li Feng's strength has swelled to a certain stage, and Wall Street is a necessary journey.

If Li Feng can buy shares in advance and even obtain the status of a major shareholder when BlackRock Group has not yet made a fortune, then the influence of a company with trillions of dollars in assets under management in the future can be imagined.

Of course, not only companies like Blackstone and Blackrock, including Goldman Sachs, but in fact, Li Feng has ambitions, not to mention controlling these companies, but if he can become a major shareholder, it will be too beneficial for himself.

Black Rock, Goldman Sachs and other companies have not been listed until now, and there are problems of one kind or another, such as Black Rock's Larry Fink has been worried that the shares of the parent company PNC Group are too high, such as Goldman Sachs is in the process of initial public offering and ultimately failed, management competition contradictions, etc., all of which provide opportunities for Li Feng.

"Then what are we going to do next, how to reply to them?" Eric obviously knew that Li Feng already had a certain plan in his heart, especially what Li Feng said about 'Wall Street' or something, what Wall Street meant, Schmidt naturally understood, and immediately asked with a smile.

"Wait, when Bill and Eugene are here tomorrow, we'll have a good discussion, and as for replying to them, there's no hurry. ”

"Okay, then I'll arrange it, let's drag it out first. ”

“…”

……

After a lot of busyness, I finally have a programmatic opinion on the next work, and I have the overall goal idea in my heart, so the next thing is to see if I can achieve it as I wish, and it depends on Li Feng's next means.
