Chapter 515: The Good Fighter Seeks Strength
It's at Burj Al Arab again, and it's only been two days since the last time SΓΌrd left.
Two days is long and short, enough for those who can afford to do a lot. For example, it is possible to find out the true strength of Dadi Group, such as the details of the debts that Dubai urgently needs to repay and the required gaps.
"Bell, bell, bell. β
"Sourde, I've been waiting for this knock for two days, and I can't wait. β
Soul's expression was relaxed, after all, the king had already made his final decision. Execution is far less effort than decision-making.
"Glendo, are you sure you'll hear good news from me?"
"Of course, I am quite confident in the sincerity of Dadi Group. β
"OK, your self-confidence is correct this time, the king agrees to buy the Palm Island Real Estate Company for $5.5 billion, and the eighth wonder of the world belongs to you. β
Lu Ming smiled, very modest, "I wonder if Su Der still wants to do other business with us?"
A smile flashed between Su Del's eyebrows, "Of course, we welcome a powerful enterprise like Dadi Group. β
Lu Ming pointed to the floor, "We want to take a stake in the Burj Al Arab." β
Suder frowned, in fact, when he was discussing with the king's think tank, he had predicted that Glendo would be interested in other industries, and he didn't expect it to be the landmark building of the Burj Al Arab and not other large enterprises.
"I wonder how much you know about Burj Al Arab, Glendo?"
"The seven-star hotel, which used tons of gold to decorate the building alone, has two hundred and two rooms, the cheapest of which costs $900 a night, the most expensive $20,000 a night, and even a helicopter lift on the rooftop of the hotel, similar to Iron Man's Starkey Tower. The hotel is equipped with a BMW and Rolls-Royce specially designed to pick up and drop off guests, and the service is superb. I wonder if I know enough about this?"
"Before you make an offer, I need to remind you that many businesses cannot be done because of the lack of sincerity on both sides, so I hope you don't talk about it." The Palm Island is just an accident, this is a project that needs to continue to be developed and operated, and the Burj Al Arab is famous all over the world, the President of China, the President of the United States, and dignitaries from all over the world live here, even if the accommodation is expensive, but the rooms of the Burj Al Arab have never been more than twenty rooms, and some rooms have even been rented for a long time. β
Lu Ming smiled, what he heard was not a warning but a weak heart and expectation. So he said very calmly, "Sourde, four billion dollars, sixty percent of the shares." β
"No, it's absolutely impossible! The Burj Al Arab cost more than $4 billion to build alone. β
"Please, the Burj Al Arab has earned it back after all these years. β
"That's not possible, this Arab light will never fall into the hands of foreigners. "It's not a question of money, it's a principle." β
In fact, the real value of Burj Al Arab is not in the hotel itself, but in the meaning it represents. As long as he's still in Dubai, it makes sense and doesn't matter who the owner is. β
.......
Another three days later, Soul's eyes were red and he stood in front of Lu Mingming, "Your goal has been achieved." β
"So what the end result is?"
Almost with all his might, Soule said, "Fifty-five percent of the four billion dollars in shares, no more, and it must be paid in cash." β
"No problem, just sign the contract and we'll transfer the money right away. β
"Damn, both of Dubai's greatest glories have fallen into your hands. β
"On the last condition, I want the debt that Dubai transfers to the Palm Islands company's books to belong to European banks and not to American banks. β
"Why?"
"I hate the Yankees. β
.......
When Lu Tomorrow achieved his goal, Lin Fan also began to put the finishing touches on the final part of his plan. Standard Chartered, BNP Paribas, Deutsche Bank, the three most powerful European banks, also represent the three strongest banks on the European continent.
"The three of you have been summoned here to tell you the unfortunate news that a mysterious company has wholly acquired Palm Properties and has taken on a debt of fifty-five billion dollars from the Bank of Zurich. This means that only the three of you in Europe still hold Dubai debt. β
The representative of Standard Chartered Bank changed his face, "Li, you just need to say what you want to do when you bring us together." β
Li You smiled faintly, "Tell everyone the unfortunate news, I will only eat another ten billion dollars of debts and bonds, and then I and the people behind me will completely stop." β
The faces of the three representatives changed, and then they were wary of each other, and at this moment the three of them became a competitive relationship. There are only three of them left in Europe, and they can no longer effectively blockade Dubai.
"And then there's the good news, this time we're not going to buy bonds in cash anymore, but you're going to be able to use the debt as cash to invest in our business. β
"Your business?"
"That's right, Palm Properties and Burj Al Arab. β
The three of them glanced at each other, the so-called mysterious company was Li You, Li You was obviously playing with the three of them, but the three of them were not easy to fool. "Mr. Li, the Burj Al Arab seems to have some value, but the value of Palm Island?"
"Please take a look at this sample contract first, and don't spread it. β
Li You handed out a sample of the contract signed by Lu Ming with the Dubai government, and then explained, "With our help, Dubai will usher in a new spring, economic development, and finance will sprout again, then the value of the Palm Island will also be counted again, which is a cake worth at least 100 billion yuan.......
The three of them are not so easy to fool, looking at the terms of the contract bit by bit, the eyes of the three of them are getting brighter and brighter, maybe this palm island can really become fragrant.
In later generations, the average house on Palm Island rose from 500,000 to 800,000 US dollars, and the mansions were even more rounded, and almost all foreign wealthy people bought real estate here.
The representative of Deutsche Bank couldn't help but lick his lips, "What do we need to give, and then how much equity can we get?"
Li You smiled, "Before answering your question, we need to determine another thing, how many dollars is worth tens of billions of debts." β
The three of them looked bitter, the previous tens of billions of bonds had been sold for $7.8 billion, and this time Li You took the initiative, and the price would definitely be pushed lower.
"What do you think, Mr. Li?"
"I think six billion dollars is just right. β
"Mr. Li, this?"
"Ladies and gentlemen, people don't talk darkly, Dubai's debt is already a sure thing, and we take a lot of risks. β
.......
A day later, Lin Fan got the contract sent by Li You, and the three banks of Standard Chartered, Deutsche and Paris jointly gave 10 billion bonds, with a total value estimated at 6 billion US dollars. Lin Fan paid 40 percent of the Palm Island and 20 percent of the Burj Al Arab.
With this turn, Lin Fan introduced a new financier for the subsequent development of Palm Island, owned a controlling stake in Palm Island, became the largest shareholder of Burj Al Arab, earned a billion dollars in cash, and promised to buy bonds for the state.
It's perfect, and that's what makes a good fighter seek it!
