Chapter 43 Chinatown Investment Services Company
The failure of the acquisition of Medi Investment Services caused Tang Bao to lose hundreds of thousands of dollars, and the loss of funds was secondary, but his morale was hit hard, but he was not discouraged.
The rating agencies of the United States represent the ideology and national interests of the United States, and not only control the economic and technological information of all walks of life in the country, but also involve the country's technological development and major commercial secrets, and are related to the country's security. At the same time, it is also a sharp weapon for the United States to manipulate the international capital market and assist the United States in plundering economic and political interests around the world, and it is an important part of the economic power of the United States.
How could such a key industry easily allow Tang Bao, a Chinese, to get involved?
Therefore.
For the failure of this transaction, Tang Bao is also bearish.
However, being bearish does not mean that he will completely stop it, and on the afternoon of the day the deal was rejected, Tang Bao registered another company in the United States - Chinatown Investment Services Company.
After falling once, Tang Bao also learned wisely, the business of Chinatown Investment Service Company did not involve the rating business as soon as it came up, but started from ordinary investment consulting services, avoiding the sensitive rating market of Americans, so Tang Bao's new company got the business license very smoothly!
……
Nick, who was following Tang Bao, saw his boss doing this, and understood that the boss did not want to completely give up on getting involved in the rating market.
However, the method of this operation is much more secretive, ostensibly to provide consulting services to ordinary investors, but in essence, it still does not leave the "rating", of course, there are some differences, Chinatown Investment Services Company is not qualified to issue public rating reports on designated companies.
However, the Chinatown Investment Services Company talks about it in private, and no one cares, the U.S. Constitution gives anyone freedom of speech, and Tang Bao can say whatever he wants.
And......
Even if Chinatown Investment Services publishes its own analytical "views" on certain industries or stock markets in the United States, it is not a violation.
Tang Bao is confident that as long as he occasionally releases some major "predictions" in the coming time, and finally these predictions are fully verified by the market, then the reputation of Chinatown Investment Services Company will slowly build up, and the credibility will also rise.
Directly involved in the ratings market?
Tang Bao will also depend on the situation, there will always be a chance.
"What's wrong, what's wrong?" Thinking of his plan, Tang Bao's depressed mood improved a lot, and when he saw that Nick seemed to have something to say, he asked.
"Boss, even if you set up a Chinatown Investment Services Company, it seems that you are not qualified to obtain a rating, what is the point of the existence of this company?" Nick knew that Tang Bao's purpose was ultimately in the rating market, but Chinatown Investment Services didn't even have rating qualifications, let alone anything else.
to the state of the United States.
The three major rating agencies, Standard & Poor's, Moody's and Fitch International, have monopolized most of the market, and some small rating companies have been slowly eaten up by them, and the U.S. government has restricted other companies from entering the rating market. The three major rating agencies have a monopoly, and the government restricts it, and he can't figure out how Tang Bao can put his hand in.
"Hehe, it's not good to say whether it makes sense. I'm just putting a chess piece on my hand, and if it happens, it's good, and it doesn't matter if it doesn't work. Tang Bao said with a smile.
Well?
Nick was confused, and secretly said that the boss had made such a big effort, could it really be casual?
"Let's go, go back to school!"
Tang Bao got into the Mercedes-Benz car and said to Nick.
Of course, his expectations for Chinatown Investment Services cannot be as he said, but Nick has not been with him for a long time, and although he has become his personal assistant, it is better to have things rotten in his stomach, and one more person knows about it, and there is one more potential threat.
Trust is built on understanding the other person, and you can't even talk about understanding, let alone talking about trust and the like.
"Okay."
Nick replied, slickly starting the car.
Sitting in the car, Tang Bao fell into deep thought again, and his failure to buy Moody's Investment Services showed that his actions had touched the sensitive nerves of Americans. When you don't grow strong enough, the most rational thing to do is to avoid the edge for a while.
Originally.
Tang Bao thought that his acquisition of the Redwood Community Bank was unusually smooth, and that the Americans should not be as vigilant about Chinese investment as later generations, but the recent encounter was like a slap in the face, pouring cold water on him and breaking his undivided thoughts. For this reason, Tang Bao is also hesitant to invest in some sensitive areas.
For example, in the field of petroleum resources.
At this time, the price of oil was about 178 US dollars, and the stock prices of the relevant oil companies were also very valuable for investment.
To invest in oil, Tang Bao had a plan, but he never put it into action.
Or rather, Tang Bao didn't dare to make a quick move, he wasn't sure what the consequences would be if the acquisition was officially launched.
The U.S. government is highly vigilant about oil resources, and any foreign investment in a U.S. oil company, even if it is just a small oil company, will probably attract scrutiny from the U.S. government. Out of this concern, Tang Bao did not make a move. Especially in the case of the U.S. veto of Medi Investment Services, Tang Bao was even more hesitant.
In fact.
Tang Bao is interested in the American petroleum technology research and development company, what he needs is the American oil and gas exploitation technology, as for oil resources, there are everywhere in the world, as long as there is money, there is always a chance. However, the Petroleum Technology Research and Development Company is also being watched very closely by the United States.
"Hoo ......"
After thinking about it, Tang Bao reluctantly postponed the plan to invest in a petroleum technology research and development company, and he was in the limelight enough in the United States this year.
Then.
Tang Bao turned his attention to the newly established Chinatown Investment Services Company, for which he did not plan to hire professional managers to run the company, but to take charge of it himself. He's also learned a lot from books lately, and with his memory of the future economy, it shouldn't be much of a problem to take control of this company.
He just wants to rely on his memory advantage to make "predictions" on some economic events, so as to establish an authority in the hearts of investors.
Then.
Even if the U.S. government still does not give Chinatown Investment Services a qualified rating, Chinatown Investment Services will be the uncrowned king.
Thinking of this, a smug smile appeared on the corner of Tang Bao's mouth.
Suddenly.
Nick, who was driving the car, asked, "Boss, it's time to go to school, are you going straight back to the dormitory?" Or go straight to the library? "Having been with Tang Bao for a while, Nick knew that the boss spent most of his time in the library, so he asked.
Forehead.
Arrived?
Tang Bao was slightly stunned, he was immersed in his own thoughts, and he didn't expect time to pass so quickly. "Let's go to the library." ”
