Chapter 1100: Easy Money
"What kind of exercises do you Huaxia people practice?" Jack asked with interest. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
"The vast majority of people are cultivating the Chiyou Martial Arts. Only a small number of people practice the Xuanyuan Neijing. Liu Tao said.
"I've heard of Chiyou Wujue, it's similar to the Book of God that we cultivate. It's the first time I've heard of the Xuanyuan Neijing, is it a cultivation method that has just come out? Jack asked.
"Is there anything that has just come out of the cultivation exercises? If modern people don't have the exercises left by their ancestors, they don't even know what cultivation is. Liu Tao said.
"Xuanyuan Neijing. This exercise could not have been created by Emperor Xuanyuan, right? Jack guessed after reciting the name of the exercise several times.
"Emperor Xuanyuan is as supreme in the East as Jehovah is in the West." Liu Tao nodded and said.
"Since we are both cultivators, can I discuss something with you? Can we also cultivate in this villa? Of course we don't live here in vain. Jack consulted.
"There can be a maximum of twenty cultivators here. If there were any more, the cultivation effect would definitely be greatly reduced. There are almost ten cultivators here now, and if you want to come and cultivate, it's not impossible. Aren't you the CEO of General Motors, though? What happens to the company if you stay here? Liu Tao asked.
"The company has a complete system, even if I am not in the company, the company can operate. But I'm not here alone, and I want to bring another person with me. Jack said.
"Who else do you want to bring?" Liu Tao said with a wry smile. You must know that he has not yet agreed to the request of the other party. The other party is good, and directly said that he wants to bring another person, which is really interesting.
"My father is also a cultivator, so I want him to come over as well." Jack replied.
"I didn't think that you could still think of your father at this time, it is indeed a commendable filial piety. But if I let you cultivate here, what will I get? I can't let you cultivate here for nothing, can I? You are also businessmen, so you naturally understand that there is no such thing as a free lunch in this world. Liu Tao said with a smile.
"We can sell General Motors to you." Jack said.
"Is that true?" Liu Tao suddenly became interested. He had planned to buy the company. But it's not bad to have such an opportunity right now. You must know that the technical strength of General Motors is still very strong. After the acquisition, it can be of great help to DPCA.
"Of course it's true. I can go back and talk to my father about giving you the best deal. Jack nodded and said.
"If you can really sell General Motors to me, I can let you practice here. But you can only cultivate here, you can't live here. Liu Tao said.
"We don't stay here. I can buy the villa next to it, and when the time comes, I can go home and rest directly after I finish cultivating. Jack said quickly.
"That's fine. Hurry up and discuss it with your dad, I'll wait for your good news. Liu Tao said.
"Okay. In that case, I will not disturb my husband's rest. I'll talk to my father when I go back and get back to you as soon as possible. Jack couldn't hold back the joy in his heart. After all, once this business could be done, he could speed up his cultivation with his father and reach the fifth layer.
"Hmm." Liu Tao nodded.
After Jack left, Liu Tao couldn't help laughing.
If General Motors can be acquired at a relatively low price, it will still be a big blow to the people of country M!
After all, General Motors is the largest automobile manufacturer in country M, and it still has a very important position in the minds of people in country M. But it is such a heavyweight enterprise, which has been acquired by Huaxia people. It will definitely cause a special sensation when the time comes.
Of course, the acquisition of General Motors would cost nearly $20 billion. For Liu Tao now, it's really not a small number.
At present, the future investment company still has more than 70 billion Huaxia coins on its books, that is, more than 10 billion US dollars. Wait until you short the shares of Yali Company to make another profit. And if that's not enough. Fang Baichuan still has billions of Huaxia coins in his hands. Patchwork shouldn't be a problem.
Thinking of this, Liu Tao's heart was really happy.
Originally, General Motors was worth $30 billion, and he only had to pay $20 billion. In this way, he made a full 10 billion dollars for no reason, which is faster than the money from the money printing machine.
If it weren't for the formation, it would have cost him Shouyuan. He would definitely set up a few more formations, and then let those super-rich people join the cultivation team. Even if one person collects 10 billion dollars, it must add up to hundreds of billions of dollars. After all, if a person's lifespan can be extended through cultivation, and they can even live forever, even if they are willing to pay more money.
Then he checked the stock price of Yali Company on the Internet and found that the stock price had fallen by nearly 20 percent. If nothing else, Jos will be in Binjiang City tomorrow, so before Jos arrives, he will have to buy the shares of Yali Company's circulation market.
Then, he made a phone call to Xia Xueqing and informed the other party that he was going to buy shares of Yali Company.
With a 20% drawdown, $10 billion would make $2 billion.
Of course, he's not the only one making money. Both Eros and Peter will make a fortune.
However, according to the market value of Yali Company, the total value of shares in the circulating market will reach the scale of two or three billion US dollars. Of course, the premise is that the majority shareholder of Yali Company does not sell its shares.
If there is a major shareholder selling shares, I am afraid that there will not be many takeovers.
Just after Liu Tao hung up the phone, his mobile phone rang.
The call was from Eros.
"Mr. Liu, I have good news for you. One of the shareholders of Yali wants to sell his shares, and I don't know if you are interested. Russia said.
"There's definitely interest. I wonder how much this shareholder has? Liu Tao asked.
"Almost 10 percent." Russia replied.
"10% so much? If calculated according to the stock price of Yali Company, it will cost almost $40 billion. What kind of shareholder has so many shares in his hands. Liu Tao asked with interest.
"It's a stake owned by a fund. This fund was originally optimistic about Yali Company, and it has held Yali Company's shares for more than 5 years, and it has no intention of selling it. But now Jos is terminally ill, and it's in the terminal stage. If it is not sold, no one dares to predict what will happen to Yali Company's stock price in the end. Eros said.
"$40 billion, according to the current decline. I could make about $8 billion, and I really wanted to buy it. But $40 billion is a lot of money, and it is impossible for an individual to buy it. You ask if the other party can be cheaper? I can figure out how to scrape together the money. Liu Tao said.
"It should be no problem to be cheaper. After all, such a large amount of money is not something that ordinary people can come up with. On top of that, investment banks all over the world are now selling down Yali shares because of Jos, and basically no one wants to take over. Eros nodded and said.
"You talk to the other party and try to lower the price as much as possible. As for money, I'll raise money. Liu Tao said.
"Okay. Wait for my message. Eros said.
After hanging up the phone, Liu Tao thought for a while. In the end, he chose to call Li Chengjia.
Last time, Li Chengjia had invested 10 billion yuan in Shenlong Company, and this time there was such a good opportunity to make money, so it was natural to let the other party also get a piece of the pie.
Li Chengjia didn't expect Liu Tao to call him. After all, although he is a rich man who rivals the country, in front of a super miracle doctor like Liu Tao, it can be said that there is no weight.
"Mr. Liu, long time no see." Li Chengjia said hello.
"Yes! What has Mr. Lee been up to lately? Liu Tao asked.
"I don't care about the group now, either I play golf or mahjong with other people. The group's business is handed over to his son to take care of. Li Chengjia replied.
"I'm calling to ask you for a favor." Liu Tao said.
"What's the rush? As long as I can help. Despite the opening. Li Chengjia said.
"I would like to ask you to invest 10 billion US dollars to acquire the shares of Yali Company." Liu Tao said straight to the point.
"Mr. Liu, now the CEO of Yali Company, Jos, has a terminal illness, and everyone in the outside world is not optimistic about the future prospects of Yali Company. Why would you want me to buy shares while I'm here? Isn't there any special significance? Li Chengjia asked.
"It's true that Jos is terminally ill. But he's not dead yet. As long as he is not dead, there is hope for life. You see what I mean, right? Liu Tao said.
"Understood." Li Chengjia nodded and said, "Now the stock price of Yali Company has been falling, if Jos doesn't die." It is estimated that it may return to its original highs. ā
"Yes. You're scraping together $10 billion in the fastest time possible. Wait until you scrape together the money and call me. Liu Tao said.
"Okay." Li Chengjia nodded.
After hanging up the phone, Liu Tao calculated the funds in his hand. In addition, Li Cheng's family is only more than 30 billion US dollars, and there is still a gap of several billion US dollars.
After thinking about it, he called Li Feiyu. Feiyu Group is now a well-known large group in the provincial capital, and it still has a lot of assets.
Li Feiyu helped solve 3 billion Huaxia coins, equivalent to 500 million US dollars.
Then Liu Tao asked Cai Gaole to take out the funds on the books of Shenlong Company. A total of $27.3 billion was scraped together. If Li Chengjia can come up with 10 billion US dollars, the acquisition of 10 percent of Yali Company's shares should be about the same.
Soon, Li Chengjia called and told Liu Tao that he had prepared the money.
After a while, Eros also called and told Liu Tao that he had negotiated the price with the other party, and the total price of the final acquisition was 35.6 billion US dollars.
This price has fallen by almost 30 percent compared to Yali's previous share price.
It's a pie-in-the-sky thing.
Liu Tao asked the other party to draft the transaction contract immediately, and then completed the transaction in the shortest possible time.
Because Li Chengjia invested 10 billion US dollars, he owned 2.6 percent of Yali Company's shares.
The remaining shares are held by Mirae Investments.
For Liu Tao, this is a memorable day. After all, the rewards that such a big deal can bring him are very rich.
When it was almost evening, Liu Tao received a call from Jack. After he returned, he discussed it with his father, and finally decided to convene a board meeting to sell General Motors. Of course, this transaction needs to be paid in cash.
Since Jack and his father own sixty-five percent of the company's shares. So they got the most cash, almost $20 billion.
According to the results of his discussion with Liu Tao, he gave 10 billion US dollars to the other party. Therefore, Liu Tao only needs to pay $20 billion to get the entire General Motors company.
Liu Tao looked at the timetable and set the date when the two parties officially signed the transaction contract the day after tomorrow. As soon as he heals Jos, he will make a deal with the other party.
Naturally, Jack nodded in agreement.
Then, Jack flew with his father from country M to Binjiang City. Before arriving in Binjiang City, they had already bought the villa next to Liu Tao.
"Mr. Liu, let me introduce you. This is my father, you can call him Zorro. "Wait until you reach Binjiang City. Jack brought his father over to visit Liu Tao.
"Hello." Liu Tao said hello to the other party.
"It's really a hero from ancient times. I didn't expect Mr. Liu to be so young. Huaxia has a young master like you, and the development prospects will definitely get better and better. Zorro looked Liu Tao up and down and said.
"Mr. Zorro is really good at talking. If I'm not mistaken, you've now cultivated to the third layer realm. Liu Tao said with a smile.
Zorro was shocked, nodded, and said, "Mr. Liu is really good eyesight. ā
"You two are cultivating hard here. If nothing else, it won't take you two years to break through the third layer and reach the fourth layer. Liu Tao said.
"So fast?" Zorro couldn't believe his ears. After all, it had taken him almost thirty years to cultivate to the third layer.
"Do you think I'm lying to you? Do you know how many times the cultivation speed here is compared to outside? Liu Tao said with some disapproval.
"It's not." Zorro hurriedly waved his hand and said, "I just have never cultivated here. So I don't know the specific cultivation speed, please don't blame Mr. ā
"The cultivation speed here is ten times faster than that of the outside world! In other words, it used to take you twenty years of cultivation to break through the first layer, but here it only takes two years! Liu Tao said.
"Ten times?!" Zorro's father and son's eyes were wide open. If they have such a place since they started cultivating. Now it has long broken through the fourth layer and reached the fifth layer. Of course, their cultivation stops at the fifth layer, and they don't have the cultivation method after the fifth layer.
"Yes! Ten times over! If you don't believe it. When you practice here at night, you will naturally know it! Liu Tao said.
"It's so good! It's a pity that I only have the fifth layer of the mind method in my hand, otherwise I might really break through to a higher realm in my lifetime! When Zorro said this, his eyes suddenly darkened.
"If I'm not mistaken. The Book of God should also have nine layers. Why is there only five floors in your family? Liu Tao asked a little puzzled.
"That's a long story. In this world, there is only the Rhodes family with a complete mind, which is why the Rhodes family can become the largest family in the world. However, because of some restrictions in modern society, he could only cultivate to the sixth level in his lifetime. The most powerful figure of the Rhodes family also died as soon as he reached the seventh layer, and there was no way to reach the eighth layer. It is rumored that people who reach the ninth layer can live forever, and I don't know if it's true, maybe it's just a rumor. Someone in our family used to be a housekeeper in the Rhodes family, thinking that he was trusted by the third-generation head of the Rhodes family, so he made an exception and taught the five-layer cultivation method. As for the mental method behind it, only the core figures of the Rhodes family know. Zorro explained.
"The pursuit of immortality is everyone's pursuit. Even if it is an emperor and a general, he can't get rid of the way to death. I don't know if the ninth layer can be immortal, so I can only cultivate step by step to see if I can cultivate to the ninth layer. Liu Tao said.
"I want to practice until the fifth layer. If I can cultivate to the fifth layer, I will be quite content. The cultivation method of the sixth layer is only available to the core figures of the Rhodes family, and even if I eat the gall of the ambitious leopard, I don't dare to trouble the Rhodes family. Zorro said.
"At your current cultivation speed, I'm afraid it will take at least seven or eight years to reach the fifth layer. If you need a sixth level of mind, maybe I can help you. Liu Tao said with a smile.
"Okay." Zorro was overjoyed and said.
"Have you eaten? If you haven't eaten it, you can eat it together here. Liu Tao said.
"No, you don't." Zorro shook his head and said, "We bought a villa next door. If you have time, you can also go and have a look. ā
"Are you going to live in Binjiang permanently?" Liu Tao asked.
"Yes." Zorro nodded and said, "I plan to gradually move the family's business to Huaxia Kingdom, so that it can also be easy to manage." ā
"Good! You are welcome to start a business in Binjiang. Liu Tao said with a smile.
"There aren't many businesses that our family owns, only five large companies. Since the company's customers are mainly M people, the company's sales still have to be carried out there. The main thing is to gradually move the company's production to China. After all, the price of labor in China is relatively cheap. Zorro said.
"China's labor force has lost its absolute advantage over Southeast Asian countries. However, I believe that it is not the labor force that determines the fate of a company, but the competitiveness. As long as there is core competitiveness, more wealth can be created. Liu Tao said with a smile.
"That's right! At that time, I hope that Mr. Liu can give more advice. Zorro said. (To be continued.) )
