Chapter 181: The Restlessness and Cheers of Capital
Wall Street says that it is not small, but it is not big, and all kinds of true and false news are difficult to distinguish even insiders, but it does not hinder its rapid spread.
Phoenix Investment Group plans to expand its share financing! The news came out of nowhere, but it exploded like thunder.
Wow.
The whole of Wall Street, and even the whole of America, shook! Nowadays, Phoenix Investment Group, a few people don't know a few people don't know, it wants to raise funds and expand shares, but I am afraid that many capitals will be excited and unable to sleep. As soon as the news came out, all parties couldn't sit still, and they were all anxious to find out whether the news was true or false.
For a while, the phone of Phoenix Investment Group rang non-stop. Horst's office, the offices of the heads of various departments, the reception desk, and even the ordinary employees were almost all harassed, and all parties were using all means to confirm whether the news of Phoenix Investment Group's share expansion and financing was true or false.
But.
Tang Bao had ordered in advance, but no one dared to respond clearly. The whole group did not deny this news, but they also did not admit it.
……
"Smack."
After answering the phone calls of several investment company CEOs in a row, Horst also secretly shouted that he couldn't stand it, so he had no choice but to unplug the phone line of the external phone.
"Hi, Jean. I heard that Phoenix Investment Group is planning to carry out the first round of financing and share expansion, may I ask, is this news true? "The manager of a fund company approached his old colleague.
"I'm just an ordinary trader and I don't know the truth." Jean replied vaguely.
……
"Jack, you work at Phoenix Investment Group, is the news of the share expansion and financing true?"
"I don't know!"
……
For several days in a row, the entire Phoenix Investment Group has become the target of all parties' strategies, inviting guests to dinner, drinking coffee, inviting golf, etc., all kinds of means have been exhausted, with only one purpose. That is to find out whether the news is true or false. In fact, the news has been spread for so long, and Phoenix Investment Group has not stood up to refute it, which is already very revealing. Some shrewd people have also confirmed it through some clever means.
It's just that.
For the specific financing and share expansion plan, even if they want to break their heads, they have no gain, they are all blinded and don't know anything.
Inside the villa.
"Boss, now the Phoenix Investment Group is almost all restless." Nick said with a smile. At the same time, he handed over all the newspapers today, "You see, almost all the newspapers in the United States have reported on the financing and share expansion of the Phoenix Investment Group. ”
"Hmm."
Tang Bao responded with a smile, and was very satisfied with the effect caused. He did not rush to announce the financing and share expansion of Phoenix Investment Group, but revealed the news in this way, and blindly hung his appetite, just hoping to further expand his momentum. In addition, it also has the meaning of observing the reactions of the outside world. He also wanted to see how many institutions were interested in Phoenix Investment Group.
Although it did not deliberately admit and publicize the fact that Phoenix Investment Group was going to raise funds and expand its shares, but. This vague strategy leads to better results.
The news media is also paying close attention to this matter, and have reported on the news of Phoenix Investment Group's financing and share expansion, and interpreted it in detail.
The Wall Street Journal has specially increased its space. A special report was made on this issue, entitled The Myth of Wall Street: Phoenix Investment Group wants to use the power of external capital to accelerate its madness. The report lists the brilliant achievements and amazing achievements of Phoenix Investment Group since its establishment. Then, the analysis said that Phoenix Investment Group has gone through a series of asset allocation. Its own funds have been exhausted and have entered the bottleneck of development. Therefore, Tang Bao wants to raise funds and expand shares to absorb more funds. Take Phoenix Investment Group one step further. Finally, a brief summary is nothing more than how the Phoenix Investment Group focuses on its performance and its financing and share expansion, which will definitely attract many investors to chase after it.
The reports of other newspapers, such as the New York Times and the Los Angeles Times, are basically the same, with no special highlights.
All parties interpret the financing and share expansion of Phoenix Investment Group mainly from the perspective of absorbing funds, and rarely go deep into other directions.
Soon.
Tang Bao was not interested in continuing to read some newspapers.
"Boss, do you want to stay at home today?" After breakfast, Nick asked. After returning from Phoenix Investment Group, Tang Bao stayed at home, turned off communications, and cut off contact with the outside world. He is also afraid of being chased by the omnipresent news reporters!
"Well, no. Go to Phoenix Investment Group! Tang Bao shook his head with a smile and said, after so many days, the effect should be about the same.
In the morning, it was past ten o'clock.
Nick's car was parked in front of the Phoenix Investment Group building, and as soon as Tang Bao stepped out of the car, he was surrounded by reporters squatting nearby.
See here.
Tang Bao didn't panic, but showed a smile. Obviously, this scene was expected by him. However, Nick panicked and hurriedly rushed out and stood beside Tang Bao to block the reporters who rushed over. At the same time, he called out to the security guards at the gate of Phoenix Investment Group to come and relieve the siege.
"It's fine."
Tang Bao gently pushed away Nick who was blocking in front of him, and said with a light smile, he didn't have any worries about this small scene. A group of reporters who rely on the pen to eat, even if there is an accident, with Tang Bao's ability, they can easily deal with the past.
"Tang, my reporter from the Wall Street Journal, has recently gone viral and Phoenix Investment Group intends to expand its share financing, may I ask, is this news true?" The tall Nick retreated, and soon, a clever reporter seized the gap and rushed in front of Tang Bao.
"Yes. This news is true, and Phoenix Investment Group does have such plans. Tang Bao replied briskly that when he appeared today, he wanted to use the reporter's mouth to spread the news thoroughly. Therefore, after the other party asked, he did not continue to hide.
"Ah, that's true!"
Suddenly.
The reporters gathered around were amazed, and then they became very excited, and they might be getting the breaking news again today.
Before.
Although the media of all parties are reporting on the financing and share expansion of Phoenix Investment Group, it is all speculation, and no one dares to give a positive response.
"Tang, as far as I know, Phoenix Investment Group has always been short of funds, may I ask, why did it suddenly announce a financing expansion. Are there any internal investment losses? ”
"Losses? Heh, Phoenix Investment Group's investment is not a win-win game. However, it is not as serious as you say...... I will not elaborate on the specific profitability here. If you are interested, you can check out the financial statements of Phoenix Investment Group. Tang Bao said with a smile.
"What is the purpose of the share expansion?" The reporter asked reluctantly.
"Naturally, it is for the Phoenix Investment Group to develop better." Tang Bao was not bored and replied very cooperatively.
Then.
Another reporter squeezed over and asked, "Tang, I'm a reporter from Fortune magazine, may I ask, how big is the financing scale of Phoenix Investment Group this time?" ”
"The initial plan is to take out a 10% stake and look for three to five strategic investors." Tang Bao said with a smile.
"Ahh 10% equity, Tang, what is your valuation of Phoenix Investment Group, or how much money do you plan to exchange for 10% equity? ”
"I don't count this, when the time comes, I will negotiate with investors to determine the valuation ...... Phoenix Investment Group," Tang Bao replied with a smile.
Then.
"Alright, guys, I've said everything I need to answer. Please let me! After speaking, under the maintenance of Nick, he broke out of the encirclement and walked into the Phoenix Investment Group.
……
The reporters didn't ask questions, but left in a hurry. After getting the news, they need to polish the manuscript as soon as possible and send it back to the agency.
Soon.
Various news outlets quickly reported on this in detail, claiming that Tang, the chairman of the Phoenix Investment Group. Personally admitted that the company plans to raise funds and expand shares.
……
"The news of Phoenix Investment Group's financing and share expansion is true!"
"Tang plans to take out 10% of the equity of Phoenix Investment Group to attract new shareholders!"
"Phoenix Investment Group, which has never been short of money, is also short of money. Tang said, I want to raise funds to expand the shares......"
"Phoenix Investment Group, which has achieved excellent results, has officially opened its doors to Wall Street capital, who will be the first batch of lucky winners?"
"Tang said to pick three to five partners for Phoenix Investment Group!"
……
Wow.
As soon as the news came out, all parties were excited and excited. The news that has been rumored for a long time is true, and Phoenix Investment Group is really going to expand its shares and raise funds.
Suddenly.
Feeling that some powerful investment institutions and financial companies couldn't help but cheer, Phoenix Investment Group, which closed its doors to external investors, finally opened its arms.
"Boss, looking for you! Wells Fargo's president, Rand ......" Nick put down his phone and reminded in a low voice.
Hear the words.
Tang Bao smiled and took the phone. "Hello, President Rand, I'm Don."
"Hello Tang, Wells Fargo is interested in taking a stake in Phoenix Investment Group, and we have had a good experience working together before......" Ranger said.
"Hmm. President Rand, I can't give you a definite answer, but if the conditions are right, I will consider it. Tang Bao said with a smile.
"Good. I'll rush to New York right away and show you the sincerity of Wells Fargo in person. Rand said. After the call, Rand quickly called Wagner again.
"Hi Don, I'm Miller...... I remember you promised that if Phoenix Investment Group expanded its shares, you would give priority to Citibank. Citigroup's vice president, Miller, called and said straight to the point.
"Not bad. Miller, we can take a moment to talk about it! Tang Bao replied happily that he was interested in cooperating with Citibank.
"Hello, Tang, I'm Jiro Kono of Mitsubishi Bank, and we are very interested in the matter of Phoenix Investment Group's share expansion financing."
……
"Don, hello ......"
……
"Hey, Wagner. Are you also interested in taking a stake in Phoenix Investment Group? Seeing that it was Wagner's call, Tang Bao asked directly with a smile.
"Well, Don, to be honest, no investor is indifferent to this, and I'm no exception, but I'm afraid I don't have that much financial power." Wagner said regretfully. A 10% stake in Phoenix Investment Group is already a very large amount.
"Huh...... Anyway. Come to my house at seven o'clock tonight, and talk about it in detail. Tang Bao said with a smile.
"Okay."
Wagner answered and hung up. He knew that Tang Bao must be very busy at the moment, and he didn't continue to bother.
Then.
Tang Bao took the initiative to make a lot of calls and invited the other party to his villa for a party. And the other party also agreed, very readily, and a few people who did not have New York immediately put down their work and rushed to the airport...... (To be continued......)
