Chapter 179: Phoenix Reorganization
Well. [
Tang Bao couldn't help nodding, but the last thing he was afraid of was the issue of risk, because the vast majority of Phoenix Investment Group's investments were decided based on his memory. Unless his memory is deranged, there will be no problem. In other words, Phoenix Investment Group will not have uncontrollable risks for a long time to come.
Of course.
It's not that Tang Bao doesn't pay attention to controlling investment risks, it's just that he has the advantage of being reborn, and he is very confident, and he will not panic and be confused.
……
"Tang, since you mentioned the matter of Phoenix Investment Group attracting new investors, I will also say a few more words about it." Lady Annette said.
"Please."
Tang Bao said with a smile.
"I think it's time for your Phoenix Investment Group to raise a capital increase. Whether you lack money or not, it's time for a funding round! ”
"Oh?"
Tang Bao was not in a hurry to make a statement, and seemed to be waiting for Mrs. Annette's explanation.
"Don, let me ask you, who helped you in the East West Bank merger case?" Lady Annette suddenly changed her words and asked.
"Well, there are a lot of people who have helped me...... Mrs. Annette, and McVeigh, Baker, Wagner, Adelson, Andya, Paul, Rand, Baxter, and PR firms, consulting firms, etc., I can't count them for a moment. Tang Bao said.
"Except for those service companies that charge for services, why would the rest of the people help?" Mrs. Annette asked.
Don't wait for Tang Bao to think about it carefully.
Mrs. Annette herself replied: "Because these people have a certain interest connection with you, most of them are investors in the Phoenix Pioneer Fund. You help them make a lot of money, and they come to their aid, as a kind of return, and at the same time, it also strengthens the relationship between the two parties. ”
Well.
Tang Bao nodded silently.
"But it's a very fragile relationship, and you can't expect investors to help every time you get into trouble. After all. Their investments in the Phoenix Pioneer Fund are subject to management fees and commissions. Mrs. Annette concludes by making it clear that investors are not obligated to help solve problems.
Then.
A smile appeared on the corner of Tang Bao's mouth, and then he laughed and said, "Mrs. Annette, I have to say, you really want to go with me." ”
This.
Tang Bao's planned restructuring is not only as simple as cross-shareholding between Phoenix Investment Group and East West Bank, but also the first round of share expansion financing. As Mrs. Annette said, this time. So many investors of the Phoenix Pioneer Fund have come out to help, which is a feeling, not an obligation. He can't expect everyone to help him every time for free, which is also impossible.
Therefore.
Bundling of interests has become the first choice.
"Tang, you can think so, the dispersion of equity is not a bad thing, it will allow a company to obtain more resources and accelerate growth." Lady Annette said with a smile.
"Hmm."
Tang Bao nodded lightly in response, to be honest. Previously, he was a little unimpressed with this statement, and he was unwilling to let Phoenix Investment Group expand its shares and raise funds prematurely, because that would be equivalent to giving away a part of his wealth to others. However, the review of the merger and acquisition case at East West Bank has completely changed this thinking.
In this event. Tang Bao thoroughly saw the terrifying power of interest bundling, which was only affected by the Phoenix Pioneer Fund, and the interest bundling was not very obvious.
Then.
Tang Bao was thinking that if the Phoenix Investment Group had several powerful shareholders. And what kind of support will you get? With the deepening of this idea, he slowly rose to the idea of expanding the stock financing of Phoenix Investment, and planned to carry out a thorough reorganization.
"Don. This time, Phoenix Investment Group's share expansion financing should not absorb too many shareholders, mainly considering whether the new shareholders are strong and whether they can bring you various resources to support. It's better to have a resource that other people's investors can't provide...... "Annette said.
"Not too much?" Tang Bao frowned, and couldn't help but whisper: "Mrs. Annette, there are a lot of people who have helped this time." ”
"Oh God. Don, you're not trying to pull everyone into the shareholders' meeting of Phoenix Investment Group, are you? Mrs. Annette said in surprise.
“……”
Tang Bao looked at Mrs. Annette, who was surprised, and nodded awkwardly, he really thought so, as long as he helped in the review process of the merger and acquisition case of East West Bank, he would give the other party a chance to buy shares. What's more, he also attaches great importance to this huge force.
"Don, I have to say, this idea of yours is very immature." Mrs. Annette said unceremoniously, and then pointed out the problem. "Don, Phoenix Investment Group is the biggest wealth in your hands, not only dollar wealth, but also the best tool to gather contacts. You have to know how to use this tool to maximize your interests, and some people are not worth using the equity of Phoenix Investment Group......"
"Hmm."
Tang Bao nodded in understanding and replied. Then, he asked, "Mrs. Annette, how many shareholders do you think is the most appropriate to attract this time?" ”
"The first round of share expansion financing should not be too much, Phoenix Investment Group is in a state of rapid development, and its value will become greater and greater...... I think three or five is about the same. And the equity to be relinquished is best controlled within 10%! Thinking about it, Lady Annette suggested.
10% equity.
Tang Bao nodded lightly, and it was acceptable to give up this equity. He is also looking forward to how much he will gain from this 10% stake.
"Next, we need to consider the choice of strategic investors, I believe that with the fame of Phoenix Investment Group, as long as the news of share expansion and financing is released, countless investors will flock to it. We have a lot of options......" said Lady Annette with a smile.
Well.
Tang Bao smiled and nodded, he was very confident in this. Nowadays, even a Phoenix Pioneer Fund has aroused the jealousy of countless investors, and they want to invest in the Phoenix Pioneer Fund. Phoenix Investment Group announced that it would not raise funds and expand its shares, but I am afraid that Wall Street will go crazy.
"Mrs. Annette, how do you think the new shareholders should be chosen?" Tang Bao asked, there will definitely be a scene of scramble, so it is not arrogant to discuss the selection of new shareholders in advance. There is no way, since the establishment of Phoenix Investment Group, it is almost close to winning a hundred battles, and the investment income is simply explosive, and it is difficult to be unpopular. No investor would be indifferent to such a great company!
"Pick...... It depends on what kind of appeal you have. In other words, where is the weakness of Phoenix Investment Group, take this opportunity to find a partner to make up for it. Mrs. Annette smiled, and suddenly, as if she remembered something, she said: "By the way, East West Bank's business has always been in the United States, and it has no plans to enter other markets." If you have such a plan, it is best to look for a company in the target country. ”
"Hmm. This is something to consider, but since Phoenix Investment Group is mainly rooted in the U.S. financial market, I would like to strengthen my presence in the U.S. I tend to choose financial companies, banks, etc. in the United States,......" Tang Bao said what he thought in his heart.
It is not impossible to operate across borders. It's just that it's not that strong, because the financial market in the United States alone is enough for the Phoenix Head Group to be deeply cultivated for decades.
"Tang, do you plan to develop around the financial capital market all the time? Do you have any plans to enter the industry in a big way...... Industrial companies may not be as profitable as the capital market, but they are indispensable. Mrs. Annette reminded. I've noticed that Phoenix Investment Group also has a stake in a number of entities, have you ever thought about controlling certain companies and then sending a management team to run them......"
"Hmm. I have this idea, but I am also worried that controlling too many American companies will lead to political repression. Just like the Japanese capital! ”
There was a slight silence.
Tang Bao said: "Actually, I have acquired some brick-and-mortar enterprises, retail, real estate, software companies...... This aspect will develop slowly, and the main focus will still be on the financial industry. ”
……
The issue of industrial development was only passing by, and soon, the topic turned back to the issue of Phoenix Investment Group's share expansion and financing.
"Mrs. Annette, you said, this time so many people helped East West Bank, if Phoenix Investment Group expands its shares and raises funds, is it a little inappropriate not to give these people a chance?" Tang Bao said worriedly.
"Of course, the opportunities are equal, but whether you can get it depends on your strength." Mrs. Annette smiled as a matter of course, "Don, there is no need for you to be pressured on this. ”
"Hmm."
Tang Bao nodded, Mrs. Annette also made sense, this time, Phoenix Investment Group expanded its shares for financing, even if it only took out 10% of the equity, the transaction amount involved would be very huge, presumably few of those people had the economic strength to compete.
"Tang, if you feel how much you owe, you can completely reduce or exempt their management fees in the Phoenix Pioneer Fund, or reduce the commission percentage." Mrs. Annette laughed. "By the way, I think we should take advantage of the restructuring of Phoenix Investment Group to launch and set up a few more funds to expand the momentum. Don, if you are in the financial world, you should seize every opportunity to expand your voice. Because that's going to make you stronger and stronger! ”
"How many more funds will be established?" Tang Bao was stunned, before, he hadn't thought about this aspect at all. After thinking for a moment, he said cheerfully, "Well, no problem. ”
......Seeing this, Mrs. Annette couldn't help frowning and reminded: "Tang, there is an example of the Phoenix Pioneer Fund, investors will have high expectations for the new fund, and if the returns are far from the expectations at that time, it may cause a fatal blow to you and the Phoenix Investment Group." On the contrary, it will make you and Phoenix Investment Group more powerful and make another qualitative leap. ”
"I understand."
Tang Bao nodded with a smile and said, next year will be the Japanese stock market crash, and he is absolutely sure of the guaranteed investment returns.
……
Next.
Tang Bao and Mrs. Annette engaged in several hours of analysis and discussion on the restructuring of the Phoenix Investment Group until late at night. (To be continued......) R527
