Chapter 502 Invitation to the Consortium

Many people have the impression that the legend of the plane turning around and stopping the train is from the black card, but in fact, the level 1 black card should not be considered, but the level 3 black card is absolutely possible, but the holder of the level 3 black card is estimated to have their own private jet.

The number of times this function is used is very small, so this is a lot of chicken ribs, but I have to say that the level 3 black card is, to some extent, this can no longer be regarded as an American flower group can be decided, who can be upgraded to level 3 This is the decision of the members inside.

If you don't have a few member recommendations, you don't want to upgrade at all, and you need to meet the basic conditions before you can level up.

So this upgrade is very difficult, and now Zhao Chen doesn't even need to upgrade, it is directly level 3, you can imagine how special this is. But even if it was directly given level 3, so what? It really didn't have any attraction to Zhao Chen.

"To be honest, even if I went straight to a level 3 club, it didn't appeal to me at all. Zhao Chen thought about it, and still said very honestly, because this is really unattractive, what do they need and what can they provide? And they invited Zhao Chen, although Zhao Chen couldn't guess why, but there was a very simple reason.

Even the richest man in the world is not your user, and you still say that you are the most professional? Professional ghost! Just rush to this point, they invite Zhao Chen is a must, as for how to enter level 3, this still needs to be asked, just the two groups themselves don't know how many level 3 cardholders, it is very easy to find out more than a dozen.

"Mr. Zhao, if you wish, Citigroup can allow you to become a shareholder of Citigroup up to 2%. Howles made another direct offer.

Zhao Chen was really a little shocked this time, what is the Flower Group? Citigroup is not just talking about Citibank, but the entire Citigroup, in fact, to use another adjective, it is the Citi consortium! That is, one of the top ten consortia in the United States!

For example, Citibank, Boeing, 3M, Pratt & Whitney (one of the world's three largest engine manufacturers) are the assets of the Blossom consortium. And the entire Citigroup consortium has reached this position today, not to mention 2% of the shares, that is, one thousandth of the shares are described as hundreds of millions.

And you may not be able to buy it yet, which means that if you want to buy it, someone has to allow you to come in. And 2% is already a major shareholder in the Citi consortium.

At this moment, Zhao Chen was a little curious, and he immediately asked with interest: "Then can you tell me why I want to join you, is it worth you to spend so much?"

Just because of his assets, Zhao Chen didn't think so, maybe there was a reason, but this was definitely not the whole reason.

"That's right, our Citigroup has always been committed to uniting the world's elites, I think an elite like Mr. Zhao, maybe Mr. Zhao doesn't need a source of funds now, but in fact, if there is a bank, for Mr. Zhao, whether it is financing or development, it is obviously more convenient, if Mr. Zhao is willing to become one of the shareholders of the Citigroup consortium, the Citigroup consortium can help Mr. Zhao you buy a bank, a bank with a market value of not less than $20 billion. Howles didn't even think about it, just smiled and said.

Zhao Chen knew that he was just a messenger, he couldn't decide this, not to mention him, even the CEO didn't have this right, and it was the board of directors who really had this right.

A bank with a market value of not less than 20 billion US dollars, this is no longer a small bank, although it cannot be a domestic bank, only it may be a Southeast Asian country, or a part of the bank on the Xiangjiang side, but no matter which bank, it is already very awesome, do not confuse the market value with total assets.

Total assets even sometimes count bank deposits, such as the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, which is now known as the world's largest bank, has a market value of 1,635.8 billion, which is equivalent to about 240 billion US dollars.

But the total assets of ICBC are about 24 trillion RMB, you can imagine how big the gap is, of course, the total assets are not all banks, this lot of money is depositors', but for banks, these money can be temporarily called.

Because the bank invests the money, as long as the depositor has someone to withdraw the money, they can pay the money, after all, there will always be more money in the bank than it can be withdrawn.

Therefore, although the market value is only 20 billion US dollars, the deposit is definitely not only this number, at least the deposit is also about 200 billion US dollars, such a bank is in the hands of Zhao Chen, just like others said, Zhao Chen will directly withdraw funds and so on It will be very easy.

Which of the world's most powerful consortia does not have its own bank? For example, the more powerful ones in China, such as Ali and Tencent, have not all started to prepare their own banks? Although their banks started directly from online banking.

But as long as the business license comes down, these banks will slowly expand, and when they expand to a certain extent, the financing ability of these companies is naturally very terrifying.

And is Zhao Chen interested in the bank? Of course he is! But he is just interested, because Zhao Chen's ultimate goal is not this at all, so he is just interested.

"Actually, it's not difficult for me to set up my own bank, and I'm sure many people will have confidence in my bank. Zhao Chen thought for a while, smiled and said, "Of course, you don't have to worry about domestic policies, it's not a problem, but what I want to know now is, what do you want me to pay for such a big condition?"

Howles and Lewis looked at each other, and both of them knew that if they didn't say it, it was estimated that Zhao Chen would not be able to talk about it at all.

After a long time, Howles gritted his teeth and said: "Actually, we just want Mr. Zhao to pay for the kind of beef you breed in your hands, of course, we buy according to the top beef, it will not be lower than the price of Japanese Wagyu beef, and it may even be higher, and we can promote it to our members, I believe this is definitely what you need, Mr. Zhao." ”

Zhao Chen immediately suddenly realized, he finally understood why these people came, it turned out that they were eyeing their beef, but at the same time, Zhao Chen had to sigh, Nima, these international conglomerates are really awesome, I didn't expect to be eyeing my beef in such a short period of time.

And even the country doesn't know what is wrong with their beef, they actually already know, Zhao Chen didn't believe that they just ran over and paid such a big condition just because their beef quality was better than Wagyu.

Obviously, they already know what kind of results they will get from their beef, and what will happen if they eat their beef, and that's the most important thing.

Seeing Zhao Chen's expression, the luck in Howles and Lewis in their hearts was gone, before coming, of course they understood the special features of this beef, because it has been tested by the top testing institutions in the United States, this beef is not only nutritious, but also contains a unique energy, which is absolutely unprecedented.

These things have absolute benefits for the human body and can even delay the aging of human cells, what this means, of course these top rich people know.

It's just that what makes them sad is that such a top-notch beef is actually used to make beef jerky! The nutritional value and part of the energy in it have gone, and even so, it is actually very good for the human body.

And these people who hold huge wealth and power are undoubtedly elderly people, and almost no people at this age are not afraid of death, because they are more nostalgic for this fancy world than ordinary people.

It is not difficult to investigate the origin of this beef jerky, and the relationship between Guo Hao and Zhao Chen is not difficult, so there is only one final result, that is, these beef jerky are all from Zhao Chen, and if there is beef jerky, there will naturally be beef, and beef is undoubtedly more valuable, and the energy contained in it is more sufficient.

After careful testing, they had to come here, because they knew that Guo Hao could not have this kind of beef in his hands, nor could he have this kind of live cattle, as for getting these cattle in private, they didn't think about it, but to be honest, this is very difficult.

And that is not a long-term solution, because there are so many people who need this kind of beef, and they simply can't breed too many in a while, and besides, how do you know if the cow will lose this property when it goes elsewhere?

If at that time, after falling out with Zhao Chen because of this matter, then they would never want to see this kind of beef in their lives, so these people didn't dare to bet, especially when they could get this kind of beef through legitimate channels openly, then there was no need to take risks.

Zhao Chen was really a little surprised, to be honest, the rat is made of beef jerky made of this beef, because the taste is undoubted, and the rat is supplied to the tour guide, and the tour guide sells it to tourists in the car, so almost every tourist will buy it. The taste is so delicious, and there are many repeat customers.

But domestic tourism is not high-end tourism, and it can actually reach the hands of these world's top richest people, and it is also abroad, you can imagine how amazing this thing is.

But since the matter has happened, it naturally has its reason, and Zhao Chen is not entangled, besides, for Zhao Chen, he doesn't dare to say how much there is, but in fact, even if it is supplied to people all over the world, Zhao Chen has no pressure, it is nothing more than a matter of time ratio.

So Zhao Chen never cherished its existence, and these people came to the door, Zhao Chen pondered for a while, it seems that some of his plans should be advanced.
