Volume 10 Chapter 61 All the way to glory

A few days later, Zhao Daxi took the chairman of the stock exchange, the executive officer of the Financial Services Commission Sloan, and the heir of the five major steel conglomerates in South Africa, Master William, and the group returned to their home in New Jersey first, and met with Mr. Henry Petterson, chairman of the Federal Reserve, through personal friends, and proposed the idea of the stock exchange to acquire the Toronto Stock Exchange in Canada. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info/. qb5。 C0m Old Henry was really taken aback when he saw that there were so many people in the Zhao family.

After the Fed chairman's habitual perfunctory words, it is rare for him to tell the truth: "Zhao, with all due respect, I am not optimistic about you, because your British counterparts are doing the same thing." ”

Zhao Lei and the others were really taken aback, and they hurried to hurry up or came a little late, listening to his tone, it seemed that the people of the London Stock Exchange were also looking to buy the Toronto Stock Exchange. The two were anxious for a while, and it is conceivable that once they lose, the listing platform of the world's largest mining company will become British, and then the situation will take a turn for the worse, and the worrying situation will become the South African Covenant Exchange.

Stimulated by his British counterparts, the entire negotiation process turned into a competition of efficiency, and Zhao Daxi had to use all his skills to toss and turn, and took out the entrepreneurial spirit of sleeping only two or three hours a day, striving to complete the acquisition before the British. Involving the heavy inventory and evaluation work of the two exchanges, the professional appraisal team of Beishan Bank, which has been established for less than a year, is almost overwhelmed by the continuous heavy work of 24 hours a day.

Zhao Daxi showed good eloquence at this time, summoned his young and highly educated senior financial accountants to encourage him, said that everyone was in good spirits, and silently accepted the arrangement of the wives, let several top makeup artists wipe his face, cover the serious dark circles caused by lack of sleep for him, and urgently flew to Canada to lobby for public relations. On the plane, you have to force yourself to drink a few cups of coffee to stay awake.

Young Master William, who was sitting beside him, spoke sincerely with a reverent expression at this time: "Zhao, Lei, you are different from all the rich people I have ever met. ”

Zhao Lei and the two smiled when they heard it at the same time, Lei Yongqiang rubbed his sour eyes, and asked casually: "What kind of rich people have you seen?" ”

Young Master William's childish face was even more sincere: "Most of them are arrogant and arrogant, never willing to accept other people's opinions, and are very lazy. ”

Zhao Daxi couldn't help but shake his head and laugh when he heard it: "Me and Lei are also very lazy, haha, we were forced to be anxious this time, uh, we have only been diligent once, you don't take it too seriously." ”

After a burst of good-natured laughter in the cabin, the young Young Master William also laughed twice, but there was a resolute expression on his immature young face, as if he had made great determination. In the eyes of a shrewd person like Zhao Daxi, he was naturally full of joy and happy in his heart. After the plane landed in Toronto, Zhao Daxi cheered up and made an appointment to meet with the top management of the Toronto Stock Exchange through a telephone invitation from Federal Reserve Chairman Henry Petterson.

In the subsequent series of public relations processes, what was really surprising was that Master William, who was favored and courteous by many executives of the Toronto Stock Exchange, played a great role in the entire negotiation process, and also surprised people.

Of course, such a shrewd person as Zhao Daxi knew how to use the trump card of Young Master William, took him around to socialize, and at the same time used the power of the Venn Council to lobby around, and fought with the local high-ranking officials in just one week, and finally seized the opportunity again after hard work. By the time the British arrived from far away, the proposal to merge the Toronto Stock Exchange had already been put on the agenda of the board of directors of the Toronto Stock Exchange.

The dumbfounded British woke up like a dream and hurriedly mobilized resources to start preparations. At this time, Zhao Daxi was in a newly purchased mansion in downtown Toronto, receiving Prince Charles from afar, and it was reasonable for Londoners to move out of His Royal Highness the Prince when they saw that the situation was not good, and the intention was naturally to drag these Chinese with a keen sense of smell, pragmatism and efficiency, as well as the president of the Principality Bank, Mr. Schwarz, a banker in Liechtenstein.

After the meeting, His Royal Highness the Prince was also speechless for a while, and he had to take pains to think about what to say in order to save the defeat for the London Exchange, and it was obvious that the efficient and pragmatic style of these Chinese really made the arrogant gentlemen of the London Exchange suffer greatly, and also made His Royal Highness the Prince speechless. Of course, Zhao Daxi was happy to pretend to be deaf and dumb and only talk about the wind and snow, and talked with His Royal Highness the Prince from Shakespeare to Paul Patz, and talked about some useless chats.

His Royal Highness the Prince really didn't have much to do with him, so he simply had a showdown: "Zhao, let's not go around the bush, let's be clear, I hope you will reconsider the plan to merge and acquire the Toronto Stock Exchange, and reconsider it carefully." ”

Zhao Daxi agreed with a smile on his face, and perfunctorily walked His Royal Highness the Prince's face turned cold, ignoring the advice of His Royal Highness the Prince and instead changed his strategy, and after discussing with Lei Yongqiang, he changed his strategy in a timely manner, and sent more people to fly to Sydney, Australia in a high-profile manner.

Of course, the British don't understand that this is Boss Zhao's consistent method, in Sun Tzu's Art of War, this is called encircling Wei to save Zhao, and he fell into a trap in a daze. With the eloquent descriptions of South African national television announcers, Londoners had to spread out their already limited human resources and carefully analyse the value of ASX M&A. A merger and acquisition war is in the dark, and the two sides are stuck in a stalemate, and it is impossible to distinguish the winner in a short time.

On the day of May 12th, Zhao Daxi sat honestly in front of the computer desk, looking at the news about the Wenchuan earthquake on the Internet, the two counties were demolished by him, of course, the casualties were small, but they were still inevitably heavy, he could not drive everyone away from the earthquake area, and he asked himself what he could do has been done. When the people around him saw the news later, they couldn't help but shudder and send a few eye-catching looks.

Zhao Daxi could only scratch his hair and laugh bitterly at himself: "Is it such a coincidence, Lao Tzu was just about to build a resort and caught up with the earthquake, who can I reason with?" ”

Lei Yongqiang and Ji Lin and the group of people around him looked at the bitterness and helplessness on his face, and finally couldn't help laughing.

Lei Yongqiang smiled and waved his hand: "Don't make me laugh, it's too inappropriate for a national disaster, alas...... There's really no place to make sense. ”

Ji Lin couldn't help laughing: "What the hell are you doing, no, you must find a fortune teller to calculate it for you when you go back, is it a bad year?" ”

Zhao Daxi laughed twice and then turned off the computer, still cheering up and keeping the British opponent entangled, but he didn't care about anything else. As the M&A war continues to heat up, both sides gradually lose patience and move out to help, Londoners put pressure on the Canadian government through their own government, trying to break the deadlock through diplomatic channels, Zhao Daxi is certainly not easy to mess with, and also moved out of the South African government and the chairman of the Federal Reserve, the power of the Council of Venn, can be a draw with the British.

Speaker Mbet was not ambiguous in the face of major events, and resolutely came to Toronto to support the Covenant Exchange, and met with the Prime Minister of Canada first. After half a month of the war, it was finally the attitude of Master William, which became the last straw that crushed the other party, and Master William continued to meet with the senior executives of a number of mining groups listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange under the encouragement of Zhao.

The same thing was said countless times, and even in the name of the Levantes, he threatened to cut the gold production for the next few months, and to give the arrogant British a taste of it by manipulating the price of gold. The young man even met with representatives of two Japanese mining companies and said fiercely that if the two companies did not side with the South African Stock Exchange, the five major steel conglomerates would no longer provide Japanese companies with scarce chrome ore in the market, and the consequences would be borne by themselves.

In the face of the ferocious threat of the future of the Levante family, two Japanese mining companies, which rely heavily on imports, took the lead in panic and announced that they would join the camp of the South African Stock Exchange. With the full support of the largest non-ferrous metals and gold group in Central and Southern Africa, as more and more TSX-listed companies went over to the side of South Africans, the board members of the TSX who were waiting to sell finally ignored the pressure exerted by the government to sign the merger agreement after offering a one-time payment of about $8.4 billion.

With the news of the Johannesburg Stock Exchange, the $8.4 billion acquisition of the Toronto Stock Exchange in Canada, the rand index of the Johannesburg Stock Exchange rose sharply, and the stocks of the Stock Exchange with mining companies as the main body also rose sharply for three consecutive days, which also made the Stock Exchange from a small exchange that was unknown two years ago to the world's largest mining company listing platform, so the far-reaching impact has also made the daily throughput of the South African port city Cape Town triple in just one week, so the chain reactionAs a result, major trucking companies have had to urgently recruit stevedores, truck drivers, and nearly 100,000 new jobs with high salaries.

This move also made Beishan International Investment Bank, the largest shareholder of the JSSE, an unprecedented success in Central and Southern Africa, and also brought Zhao Daxi Lei Yongqiang's personal reputation to an astonishing peak. So much so that Zhao Lei and the two returned with honors, and the South African political circles temporarily put aside their prejudices and held a large-scale welcome dinner in the Parliament Building. Speaker Mbet personally delivered a speech and made no secret of her personal appreciation for Beishan International Investment Bank.

I don't know who wrote a speech to her, enthusiastically praising the merger, which will have a profound impact on South African society for decades or even longer, will bring hundreds of thousands of jobs to South Africans, will make South African rand usher in decades of strength, and will make South Africa's mining economy usher in a long-term glory.
