Chapter 1299: The Bank Tearing Up for Gold (57/67)
Andy would never have known that the Los Angeles Times newspaper was ready to prepare for his entry into the palace, and was ready to force the parent company into the palace.
Of course, even if he knew, he would naturally gladly accept this situation that was very powerful for him, after all, the current "Los Angeles Times" has gone through two major layoffs to deal with the economic crisis, and he does not have to worry about offending the newspaper because of the big bang of layoffs.
Undoubtedly, the Tribune will be issued a good person card by Andy, and he will be the king and pioneer!
On the day he returned to New York, Andy called Bank of America, Wells Fargo, Goldman Sachs, and his New York branch of Yingtai Bank, inviting them to meet at the current Gaia Building (formerly Lehman Building) on November 4.
In fact, after Andy's private jet landed, many well-intentioned people in New York received the news of his return, and the four banks that received the call naturally did not dare to snub Andy's invitation to the God of Wealth.
Contact the bank as soon as possible, and Andy has a good foundation and experience in cooperation with Bank of America, about guessed the idea of this super-rich man, immediately convened a meeting, for Andy Smith's ability to make money, Bank of America is the most clear, they have made a lot of profits through several cooperation, this kind of high-quality large customers are definitely what they need to operate and maintain the most.
Bank of America, who originally had his own bank and felt helpless, didn't expect this person to call.
The Bank of America people guessed correctly, Andy recruited these four banks to use the gold in his hand as collateral for dollars, and he could have pledged all the $32 billion worth of gold to Yingtai Bank, but in order to get some strong support in the next acquisition war, he had to share some benefits.
Originally, MG Chase was the best target to win over, but MG Chase not only blocked his way to wealth twice before, but more importantly, this monster was too ugly and too inferior, for the sake of black money, he did not hesitate to kill his own customers, for the sake of black money, he could violate the contract and stab the customer in the back at the most critical time, and Lehman's funds were still frozen by them until now.
Nima, this kind of scum who eats people and doesn't spit out bones, Andy doesn't want to lure the wolf into the house, just because he is jealous of his own batch of gold, he stabs himself in the back, this kind of greedy hungry wolf, no matter how strong the strength is, no matter how extensive the connection, Andy will not look at them.
That's why Goldman Sachs, which also has a huge network, joined the gold loan benefits this time.
Spacious and bright, decorated with luxury, gorgeous, and very strong use of color in the classical European style of the large conference room, Lewis, who was already the head of the loan business of Bank of America, looked at the representatives of the other three banks on both sides of him, the corners of his mouth twitched, his face showed a wry smile, and he couldn't help complaining in his heart, this guy is really still the same!
"Ladies and gentlemen, we don't have to waste time, I now have $32 billion worth of gold spot and futures, a total of 1,260 tons, and I now want to use this gold as collateral for loans, and now gold has risen to more than $800 per ounce, and the value of this batch of gold has also risen to $35 billion... ”
Seeing that the four people opposite him showed envious expressions on their faces because of the numbers they said, Andy did not stop, and continued to smile: "The reason why I contacted your four banks is to hope that the four of you will digest this big business, of course, I know that such as Bank of America, Wells Fargo and Goldman Sachs have the ability to eat this business alone, but what I want to tell you is that this gold loan is just an appetizer, if the cooperation is pleasant, then the next cooperation I think will not disappoint you!"
However, the premise is that the four of you and the bank behind you are sincere enough to promote this cooperation, otherwise, I can only say sorry!"
Sure enough, Nima's is this set again!
Bank of America's Lewis shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Mr. Smith, you can always offer conditions of cooperation that people can't refuse, and they feel painful. ”
"Hehe, my friend, I'm sad to say that, my cooperation with Bank of America is not once or twice, which of you haven't made a lot of money? ”
Andy shrugged his shoulders and chuckled, and with his words, the representatives of Wells Fargo and Goldman Sachs also looked at Lewis with disdain, they are peers, and naturally they know best, and they are very unhappy with the cheap and obedient face of Bank of America.
"If Bank of America feels embarrassed, we at Wells Fargo can take it all, whether it's 35 billion or 40 billion, Mr. Smith, we will enjoy the lowest interest rate in our bank!"
"We at Goldman Sachs can too... ”
"Whew-"
Lewis squinted at Goldman Sachs' chief financial officer, sneered, and said, "Do you have that much money? ”
"You!" said Thompson, the chief financial officer of Goldman Sachs in attendance, glaring angrily, his old face flushed with anger and gritting his teeth.
Lewis didn't bother to look at him, turned his head directly, looked at the representative of Wells Fargo with a sneer and said, "You're not afraid of dying, you who just acquired Midland, can you get so much money?"
40 billion, that's half of your total assets!
If it's a re-guarantee from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, not to mention you, even Yingtai Bank can easily do it, but why did Mr. Smith put the gold on the mortgage first, and wait a while to get the money?"
Lewis turned into a PAO warrior, opening left and right, making the representatives of Wells Fargo and Goldman Sachs grit their teeth angrily, and he couldn't lose his temper and scold the other party, so he could only stare at Lewis who was sitting in the middle angrily, eager to step forward and punch the other party.
"Ahem, okay guys, let's get down to business, the 1260 tons of gold will be divided into four parts, but it will be reasonably distributed according to the level of the loan interest rate, there is only one opportunity, which will also be related to the next few cooperation projects, the cooperation position you occupy, I hope you will consider it clearly!"
Andy finally added a fire with a calm smile, and then the smile on his face became brighter and brighter: "Then, make an offer!"
Lewis looked at the hesitant expressions of Goldman Sachs and Wells Fargo representatives, couldn't help but sneer, picked up a pen and wrote a number on a piece of paper in front of him, and folded the paper.
And the representative of Yingtai Bank wrote a number without the slightest burden, his existence is to come to accompany the run to take advantage, anyway, it is the boss's left hand to the right hand, in short, there will be no less benefits of Yingtai Bank.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Smith, I need a call... ”
"I'm sorry, Mr. Smith, but I... ”
"Yes, please feel free!" Andy said lightly as he looked at the four of them with a smile on his face.
"Whew-"
Lewis deliberately sneered disdainfully, so that the representatives of Wells Fargo and Goldman Sachs almost pounced in anger, grabbed each other's collars and slapped them a few times.
When the two of them left the conference room with blushing faces, Andy looked at Lewis who had recovered his composure with a bit of a smile and said, "This is not like your character, so aggressive." ”
Lewis shook his head with a wry smile, and then said solemnly: "Because we don't want to lose the opportunity to make a lot of money, we speculate that Mr. Smith is brewing a big move, thank you for continuing to choose us as a partner, but I didn't expect that there will be others, which makes me more convinced that the next cooperation project will be very attractive, and our Bank of America will not miss it, and it will be your first choice!"
"Oh, I like strong partners! I said I wouldn't let my friends down, trust me. ”
"We have no doubt about this, and we have always believed in Mr. Smith's business acumen and vision... While Lewis was patting Andy's ass, the door to the conference room was pushed open, and representatives of Goldman Sachs and Wells Fargo walked back with happy faces, then apologized to Andy, sat down, and began to write quotes.
Alvitatre, who had not spoken, reached out to take the four quotations sent by the assistant, and then after a quick glance, he groaned and whispered in Andy's ear, while Andy smiled unchanged and nodded.
Soon, Andy listened to Al's advice, picked up a pen and wrote down the numbers on the four quotations, and asked the assistant to hand them to the four people one by one.
"1,260 tons of gold, with a total loan amount of $40 billion, 500 tons from Bank of America, 300 tons from Wells Fargo, 300 tons from Goldman Sachs, 160 tons from Yingtai Bank, you have 24 hours of preparation time, tomorrow morning, sign the agreement, the funds will arrive immediately, and there will be no wait!"
Andy's face became serious and serious, looking at the different expressions of the four people opposite, he didn't pay attention to what the other party was thinking about, but said undoubtedly.
