Chapter 211: Invitation to join
Milken's eyes unblinkingly stared at Tang Bao, who always had a smile on his face, waiting for an answer. To be honest, Tang Bao agreed to see him so readily, which made him very excited, thinking that Tang Bao was very interested in the troubled Dechong Securities, and also wanted to take the opportunity to invest in Dechong Securities.
Pity.
The result was far from what Milken expected, and Tang Bao was not interested in Dechong Securities at all, as he himself said.
"Since you have no interest in Dechong Securities, why do you want to meet me?" Staring at Tang Bao, who kept smiling, Milken was confused.
……
Hey.
Looking at Milken, who had a look of doubt in his eyes, Tang Bao was proud for a while, and at the same time, he couldn't help but secretly sigh in his heart.
"I admire Mr. Milken's achievements in the field of junk bonds, and I hope you can join my team after leaving Dechong Securities!" Tang Bao said with a smile.
"Your team?" Milken's eyes flashed with a different color.
"Yes, my personal team of advisors. So far, there has been only one member of this team of private advisors, and that is Mrs. Annette, and I hope Mr. Milken will be my second advisor. Tang Bao looked at Milken, who had a confused look in his eyes, and explained with a smile.
The title of the king of junk bonds is not blown, and Milken's authority in the junk bond market is absolutely unmatched.
Now that he already knows that junk bonds will usher in the second wave of golden period after a short period of decline, Tang Bao naturally wants to enter the layout as soon as possible.
Milken is the best person to help him control the junk bond market!
According to the trajectory of historical development.
Milken will be sentenced next year to 10 years in prison and banned from the bond industry, as well as a hefty fine of up to $1.1 billion.
Tang Bao didn't dare to say that he would completely change the trajectory of historical development, but with the network resources he had managed in the past few years, it should not be difficult for him to slightly change Milken's life. Taking a step back, it would not hurt if Milken were still sentenced to prison and banned from the bond industry.
Past.
Milken was sentenced to 10 years in prison, but only served 22 months. was released. And joining his personal team of advisors will direct and advise behind the scenes, without showing his head at all. The penalty for prohibiting engaging in the bond industry has little impact on it!
"Hmm...... Personal advisor, Mrs. Annette? Milken's eyes showed a look of surprise, Mrs. Annette, who was very active in both politics and business, actually became Tang Bao's personal adviser. At the beginning, Dechong Securities also sent an invitation to Mrs. Annette to join, but was declined.
Before.
At its peak, Dechong Securities was much stronger than Phoenix Investment Group, why did Mrs. Annette give up Dechong. And join Tang Bao's team.
"Yes."
Looking at Milken, who was surprised, Tang Bao smiled and nodded in acknowledgement. "Mr. Milken, I can't wait for you to be a part of my personal advisory team!"
Suddenly.
Milken smiled lightly and asked, "So what do I get?" ”
"What do you want? Just say! Tang Bao said with a smile.
"I'm afraid you can't afford to give you ......," said Milken, whose highest annual salary during his time at Dechong Securities was as high as $500 million.
on this.
Tang Bao naturally knew that Milken was calling for wind and rain in the junk bond market, and his personal salary had exceeded the net profit of Dechong Securities. Among the elites he has a heart for, Milken is the richest billionaire, and he wants such billionaires to be willing to be personal advisers. It's not simple.
Fortunately.
The lawsuit provoked by Milken created an opportunity for Tang Bao.
"Hey, you can't afford it or not, you don't count. Again. Even if I can offer you a sky-high salary, if you can't handle this lawsuit, you won't have a chance to enjoy it. ”
"Huh?"
A look of surprise appeared in Milken's eyes, and he slowly put away his smile. Looking at Tang, whose face was still unchanged, he asked tentatively, "Mr. Tang, what do you mean by this?" ”
"What do you mean...... Don't you understand? If that's the case. That's when I didn't say it. Tang Bao said with a light smile.
"Whew!"
Milken took a deep breath, he naturally didn't understand what Tang Bao meant, but he was just shocked in his heart. "Mr. Tang, have you gotten any news about this lawsuit?" The various charges against him by the government made him feel like a bone in his throat, especially when Tang Bao revealed some vague information intentionally or unintentionally, Milken's heart was even more disturbed.
Ha.
After listening to Milken's question, Tang Bao couldn't help but laugh in his heart, just before yesterday, he hadn't paid special attention to Milken, how could there be news of a lawsuit. He didn't have any news about the lawsuit, but he knew the outcome of the lawsuit!
"I can only say that if you keep dealing with this lawsuit, you will definitely lose, and the consequences will be beyond your imagination!" Tang Bao said mysteriously.
Well?
Milken's body shook, and he thought to himself, it was difficult for Tang Baozhen to get some news. However, he also invested a lot in dealing with the government's prosecution, and he didn't know the news, how could Tang Bao get it. There wasn't any bad news from Joseph's side.
There were many doubts in his heart, but the phrase "I will definitely lose" kept echoing in Milken's mind, and he could not calm down.
Once the charges against him are confirmed, they will be no different to him than if the sky is falling.
"Huh, Mr. Tang, since you are so concerned about my lawsuit, what are the consequences if you are convicted of the charges against me?" Milken said tentatively, Tang Bao said so much, he thought in his heart that Tang Bao must have obtained the news from some channels.
"Consequences...... In my opinion, I am afraid that money alone will not be able to settle this lawsuit. Not only will you face hefty fines, but you may also be sentenced to more than ten years in prison and a lifetime ban from continuing to practice the securities industry. Tang Bao directly drew out the verdict of his previous life.
"Ten years in prison? Lifetime ban on securities? Milken's body jerked and he fell into a stupor.
See here.
Tang Bao smiled slightly, to be honest, this punishment is indeed very serious. However, many of Milken's charges are unprecedented. His punishment was, to some extent, also in the experimental phase. The severity of the punishment is very subjective.
"Hey, Mr. Tang. Don't kid me. Even if I had committed some irregularities in bond trading, I would not have been able to accept such a heavy penalty. At most, millions of dollars in fines! Milken, who came back to his senses, said with a smile.
Forehead.
Tang Bao couldn't help but be stunned, Milken saw things too simply. Millions of dollars in fines are more than 100 times more.
"Oh, Mr. Milken, if you think it's a joke, I can't say it. I would like to advise you to be prepared for more fines. Just for a mere multi-million dollar fine, the government can't fight you for so many years! Tang Bao reminded with a light smile.
"Is it really that serious? Is the message reliable? Milken's face grew solemn.
"What do you say?"
Tang Bao asked with a smile. Since Milken mistakenly thought that Tang Bao had his own news channel, Tang Bao simply acquiesced. "From what I've heard, the penalty will be severe. If you didn't do anything before, and only relied on the maintenance of Dechong Securities, I am afraid that you will die faster and more miserably! ”
"And no matter what the crime is, the Ministry of Justice will definitely stab you, don't expect millions to be sent away!"
"As long as this lawsuit can be settled, money is not a problem!" Milken whispered. He has been calling the junk bond market for so many years. The amount of money earned is also an astronomical amount, and for a person like him, the trouble that can be settled with money is not a trouble.
"Hmm. It would be nice if you thought so. But. As a kind reminder, the penalty amount may be a bit much, even if you have to hurt for a while. Tang Bao said with a smile. In his previous life, Milken faced various fines and compensation amounting to as high as 1.1 billion US dollars.
"Oh?"
Milken was stunned.
"At least that's the number. Of course, if you want to get out early, the cost may be higher! Tang Bao reminded.
"So much!"
Milken looked at the numbers that Tang Bao had drawn. He was stunned.
"Hey, more? This is still a small amount, and this money includes government fines, back taxes, civil compensation, etc. The more fines and taxes you pay, the sooner you settle your case. On the contrary, the government will hold on to it! Tang Bao sneered and said, "Also, the junk bond trading department of Dechong Securities is your key point, hurry up and settle the people there and tell them to shut up." Otherwise, everything is a wild ......"
"Joseph will settle it!"
"Huh, Joseph? If that's what you think, then wait for death. Tang Bao sneered.
“……”
Milken was silent. To be honest, Tang Bao said so much, he was also a little skeptical of Joseph's promise. "Mr. Tang, is this what you pay me for my personal advisor?"
"Remuneration, not counted. When I look for a private advisor, I can't find a consultant who is about to be thrown into prison...... In that case, even if you are higher than the sky, it will be useless to me. I say all this to you, I just don't want to watch my fancy person face jail. Even if you don't agree to be my personal advisor, I'll still say these things to you. Tang Bao looked at Milken and said.
Milken nodded.
There was a long silence.
Milken made up his mind and said, "Mr. Tang, if I can successfully solve this trouble, I will agree to be your personal advisor." ”
"Okay."
Tang Bao said with a smile, waiting for Milken's words. As long as Milken becomes his personal advisor, he will be able to take over the remnants of the elite team of Dechong Securities, which will be a smooth success. And with Milken's joining, even if he can't be a monopolist in the junk bond market in the future, he won't be much weaker. "The key is to fill in all the loopholes in the junk bond trading department of Dechong Securities, and those who know the secret have to shut up!"
"Hmm."
Milken nodded.
……
The meeting between Tang Bao and Milken lasted for several hours, and by the time it was over, night had fallen. Declining Milken's invitation to dinner, Tang Bao and Kate disappeared into the night. (To be continued......)
