"What's going on, there's no movement on Orange Tech's side at all, can they ignore the pressure from above?"

Paul George called Sandywell again and repeatedly urged that the negotiations between the two sides must be accelerated, because he had received definite information from his big backstage capitalists. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Amex has sensed Citigroup's intentions, and they are preparing to mobilize their own connections to try to interfere and influence the deal, if it is not resolved soon, then another related party transaction led by Citigroup, the exchange of interests between Rio Tinto and Huaguo's iron ore origin area, will end in nothing.

After all, in the US federal government's restriction order, there are many industries that restrict the development of Eastern countries, and unfortunately the key energy and raw materials are important regulations on this restriction list, and once the British government and the US federal government react, it is bound to be urgently stopped.

Privately aware and openly knowing, that is completely different things, not public, some members of the parliament who have been informed by Citigroup to be bribed, can still pretend to be deaf and dumb, at most when the time comes to sign the review and approval, there will be some small obstacles.

But once public opinion is allowed to ferment and competitors know the truth behind the deal in advance, then they will not let Citi and Rio Tinto get through the risk so easily.

After all, before this, many enterprises under the capitalists wanted to get some benefits from Huaguo to a greater or lesser extent, so that they could sell some outdated machinery, technology or real estate in key areas to Huaguo at a high price and make huge profits.

But most of these actions have been vetoed by the big conglomerates, and now Citigroup can sell some restricted assets for its own interests, isn't this a blatant display of taking off its pants and farting, only allowing itself to set fires and not allowing others to light lamps?

It's okay if they don't know, but once they know in advance, they will definitely oppose it, even if it is Citigroup, they don't dare to be angry, after all, eating is too ugly, and it is easy to get into trouble.

Sandywell also felt a little strange, "It's very weird, and Orange Tech doesn't seem to have a too weird reaction to this, and it doesn't seem to know at all." ”

"Then urge their government to solve this cooperation case as soon as possible, the situation on Wall Street has become more and more serious, and it will soon be completely detonated, if the company does not have a good news enough to offset the negative impact at this time, then our stock price will fluctuate violently in the stock market, and the most important thing is that some investors have also expressed a negative and pessimistic denial about our recent developments, which is particularly important, you should understand that now is the time to buy time. Paul George didn't really want to interfere too much in the company's internal operations.

However, the situation is such that he has no choice, and the current situation facing Citigroup can be said to be very difficult.

In the face of the financial turmoil on Wall Street, even the world's five major investment banks said that they would go bankrupt, and an entire super company with an original value of nearly $40 or 50 billion was reduced to waste paper overnight.

Although Citi is not at risk of bankruptcy, in the event of a big plunge in the stock price, investors should jump to their feet and curse their mothers, after all, no one can accept the thrill of losing millions of dollars on paper overnight.

"I asked him to attend a local charity gala in Los Angeles tonight, and I think he'll be there, and I'll talk to him one last time, and if we can't get along, I think we can think about taking some necessary steps. Sandywell's words were a little gloomy, after all, using special means to deal with a billionaire would cause something that could not be ended, no one knows.

What's more, once things go wrong, then the unlucky one must be him, the chairman of the board of directors of the company and the president of Citigroup.

Paul George was very satisfied with his reply, and said happily, "This is the best, and I hope to receive good news from you later." ”

Hanging up the phone, Sandy Weir touched his forehead with a headache, and after a while, he took out his mobile phone and made a call, "Angela, help me prepare, I'm going to a charity dinner in the evening." ”

"Yes, sir, but do you need a temporary dance partner?" a playful voice came over the phone, not Sandywell's secretary or a clerk in the company, but his mistress.

This is commonplace in the United States, and every big man can't have only one woman, but they are usually careful not to let people get the handle, otherwise their one of them will have a shrewd wife, and the American law will tell them what is called flesh pain.

At the same time, Li Mubai also took an invitation sent by Citigroup and looked at it over and over, "Charity dinner, an occasion to talk about business and relationships in a different way." ”

He also pressed his phone, but it was a call to the company's top management, "Arrange it for me, see who is free in the evening, and go to a local charity dinner for me." ”

He didn't plan to go over, because the more urgent Citigroup was, the better it would be for him, because he didn't care at all whether this cooperation could continue, and Yuntong had shown enough sincerity, and just earlier today, a major shareholder behind Yuntong sent him a message through Grubb, and what Citigroup could give, Yuntong could also give.

Moreover, Yuntong Company gave more, a storage area that accounts for 5% of Western Australia's iron ore production, and a copper mining area in Peru, these two resource sources can be secretly transferred to the name of any company designated by Li Mubai through the name of the agent company.

The price is fair, Tong Su is not deceived, and the most convenient thing is that there is no need to go through the heavy review of the commercial regulatory departments of the United States and Australia, and only need to sign the authorization document, and the two mining areas worth about 10 billion US dollars can be immediately transferred to Li Mubai, or to the Chinese government in need behind him.

What makes Li Mubai feel most happy is that the funds for this acquisition will be fully responsible for the funds of Yuntong Company and BHP Billiton Mining Group at their own expense, and Li Mubai does not need to hand over any penny of cash.

Afterwards, Li Mubai only needed to give up 25% of the equity of Orange Technology in the United States, which enjoyed independent voting rights and business participation rights.

This kind of sincerity is enough to touch Li Mubai's heart, because he originally wanted Orange Technology and Yuntong Company to reach a financial service cooperation, and what was originally talked about was that Yuntong Company invested in the completion of the equity exchange with the American Orange Technology Branch in the name of a new financial group, and the exchange was completed.

The parent company of Huaguo Orange Technology owns 15% of the equity of Yuntong Financial Group, which has completed the restructuring, and 2% of it has complete independent shareholder qualifications and rights.

At the same time, Orange Technology agrees that in any case, under the same conditions, the shares of Orange Technology will be preferentially acquired by the American branch of Orange Technology, and the 22% shares, at most, can only be scarce to the average.

That is to say, once the American Orange Technology Branch enters a period of rapid expansion and must be listed to complete financing, even if it issues additional shares, Yuntong does not need to inject funds to maintain its share scale, and in the most cases, it can only be diluted to 11%.

This data is the safest figure obtained by the strategic management department of Yuntong Company after countless calculations, because Orange Technology is destined to be a key enterprise that maintains the link of cooperation with the American Technology Alliance, and even Li Mubai himself cannot maintain absolute control, otherwise, technology companies that can't eat the cake will set up artificial barriers to entry, prohibit Orange Technology's products from being sold to the United States, or impose high taxes on each product.

In addition, some of the technologies that these technology companies originally reserved, if they choose to support Orange Technology's competitors at a critical moment, even if there is a real technical infringement, then in the United States, Orange Technology will not be able to win the lawsuit smoothly, even if it finally wins reluctantly, it will lose a lot of profits, and the gains outweigh the losses.

Now, Yuntong has made a great compromise by valuing about 12 billion US dollars worth of mineral areas as 3 percent of the shares, and this sincerity has made Li Mubai very satisfied, so he happily signed the initialed agreement, and only wait for the approval of the board of directors of BHP Billiton, and this cooperation will take full effect.

"Stingy Citi, eat yourselves. ”

Li Mubai picked up his mobile phone disdainfully and called Gong Ziqian from Huaguo again, "Hey, Director Gong, have you received my fax, how is it, are you satisfied?"

"It's not just satisfaction, it's just very satisfied, in this way, it greatly alleviates our demand for resources in key areas and the ability to resist risks, Mr. Li, you can rest assured, we will definitely note down the credit this time, and we will immediately raise this fund in place, and will never let your company suffer." Gong Ziqian's face was happy, and he could feel it across the Pacific Ocean on the phone.

Li Mubai laughed, "I'm relieved, the board of directors of Bihe Billiton is holding a meeting on this matter for special discussion, and the person in charge of Yuntong Company also called me just now, basically it has been done, you send a delegation to Australia and Peru to inspect the field, after all, it is an acquisition involving so much money." ”

"It's already gone, don't worry!" Gong Ziqian said with a package ticket, "By the way, the person in charge of Citigroup has been running to our department recently, and some people who don't know the truth have begun to clamo for you to back down. ”

"Rest assured, we understand this, now the whole company has been on the right track, the first experimental machine has successfully passed the audit, the International Patent Organization has approved many of our core patents in advance, in the world, we have also registered and protected, Orange Technology has received strong support and support from the state, on the tax is three years of tax exemption, such support, we have not been able to make it, that is to completely live up to your kindness." As Li Mubai was talking, the office door was pushed open, and a company executive glanced at him.

Holding his mobile phone, he lowered his voice at the executive and said, "You wait for me first, I'll come to you after the call." ”

He said to the phone again, "Director Gong, do you have anything else to order?"

Gong Ziqian vaguely heard some movement on the phone, but he didn't bother, and said directly, "How dare I tell you, you are busy, you are busy." ”

As he spoke, he hung up the phone, and then said to a deputy director in the conference room, "The matter has generally been completed with you, you should remind the business department and the inspection team members of our department on the plane that this matter must be kept confidential and fast, and it must be caused by a fait accompli before some people react." ”

"Okay, Director Gong, I'll go and convey the spirit of this instruction right away. ”

……

"What's the matter?"

When he went out, Li Mubai was a little puzzled, why were the executives of his company in a hurry to find him, what happened?

He was approached by the general manager of the company's public relations department, an American, Cole Aldrich, who was recommended by a headhunting company.

Seeing Li Mubai go out, he immediately came up and said, "Boss, the president of Rio Tinto said that he must see you, and he has very important things to explain to you face to face." ”

"Wait, he wants to see me?" Li Mubai was a little puzzled, but he didn't care, and waved his hand directly, "You have to deal with this matter, haven't I already arranged for Jonathan to talk to him?"

"It didn't work, he made some threats against us in private, they were serious and we couldn't solve them. Cole was very aggrieved, and he could have handled it if it were a normal business negotiation, but this kind of private threat made him feel a little scared, because Rio Tinto's power in the United States is also very strong.

Especially behind this cooperation, Citigroup is also involved in the behemoth, and they dare not slack off.

"Okay, I know, you go down first, I'll take care of it. Li Mubai sneered, he dared to threaten me, he was really tired.

After Cole left, Li Mubai returned to his office, opened the laptop on the desk, and said directly with the heads of several partner companies, "I originally thought that the United States was a fair and free country, but now that someone has issued a death threat to my company and myself, I think I need to carefully consider the cooperation between us." ”

"What? Someone dares to make a death threat against Mr. Li? Who is it, we will definitely make him pay a terrible price. ”

Nowadays, there are more than 20 companies authorized by Orange Technology, each of which has extensive connections and huge capital power in the United States, and they all want to get more profits through Orange Technology.
