Chapter 273: To Bet (I)
Wang Tianyu sat quietly in the office of Tianyu International, and the whole person fell into deep thought. More than two months have passed since Tianyu International acquired Gaosheng. From the initial mess, Tianyu International has now stepped out of the predicament and moved towards a high-speed development stage. Coupled with the presence of Hua Whirling Dance and Meng Lina, both Tianyu International's other businesses and investment returns in the financial market have achieved amazing results.
"It can't be delayed any longer, that plan should be executed." Wang Tianyu looked at the blue sky outside the window and muttered to himself. As soon as he thought of that plan, his heart was filled with passion again. Maybe in the financial market, with Wang Tianyu's current strength, he can already call the wind and rain, but it is not the best time to start a war with those real big conglomerates, so Wang Tianyu has completely lost interest in these small fights, maybe that plan will be a new challenge for Wang Tianyu.
"But there's one more thing to deal with before that plan can be implemented." Wang Tianyu then muttered to himself, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise slightly, forming a beautiful arc.
"Concubine Fei, let's go, follow me to the Gachid Bank." Wang Tianyu said with a smile.
"What are you doing at the Gaget Bank?" Concubine Ling Fei asked puzzled.
"Let's go to Johnson and ask for that 10 billion bet!" Wang Tianyu said with a smile.
"Oh, yes." Concubine Ling Fei said excitedly.
Wang Tianyu and Concubine Ling Fei soon came to the door of Jiaqide Bank.
"I'm looking for Mr. Johnson." Wang Tianyu said to the staff at the front desk.
"Do you have an appointment?" The staff at the front desk asked with a smile at Wang Tianyu.
"Nope!" Wang Tianyu shook his head and said.
"Sorry, no appointment. We can't let you in. The staff at the front desk said very politely.
"You just tell Johnson that Wang Tianyu came to him to ask for the $10 billion bet." Wang Tianyu said with a smile.
After hearing Wang Tianyu's words, the front desk staff immediately looked at Wang Tianyu in shock, and after a closer look, it was no wonder that he was so familiar, it turned out that the person standing in front of him was the financial investment genius who often appeared in the headlines of major media on Wall Street. Wang Tianyu and Johnson's 10 billion gambling thing, there are really not many people in the world who have never heard of it, and as an employee of Jiaqide Bank, they have naturally heard of it.
"Wait a minute, I'll call Mr. Johnson and ask." The front desk staff didn't dare to slack off and said to Wang Tianyu.
"Mr. Johnson asked me to take you in. Please follow me. After the front desk staff member hung up the phone. said with a smile at Wang Tianyu and Concubine Ling Fei.
As soon as Wang Tianyu entered Johnson's office, he said very enthusiastically as if he had seen a good friend: "Mr. Johnson, I didn't expect us to meet again so soon." What a fate! ”
Johnson saw Wang Tianyu and Concubine Ling Fei. But there was a very melancholy expression on his face. Now Wang Tianyu and Concubine Ling Fei are here to ask for debts, and they are huge debts, 10 billion US dollars! That's pretty much his entire net worth. He regretted it a little at the moment, why did he make such a bet with Wang Tianyu in the first place? And I wrote the contract in black and white, even if I want to, I can't rely on it!
A week has passed since the two-month gambling period, and Johnson has been spending these days in depression, and he has to worry that Wang Tianyu will come to the door to ask for debts at any time every day. In a few days, the whole person has lost a lot of circles, and the whole person looks a lot haggard. As time passed, Johnson saw that Wang Tianyu had not come to ask for the debt, and thought that Wang Tianyu had forgotten, and he kept praying in his heart, hoping that Wang Tianyu had really forgotten, or that he had lost the contract of the gambling contract, so that he would not have to repay the $10 billion bet. However, the reality is cruel, and dreams will eventually wake up.
When Johnson received a call from the front desk, his heart suddenly cooled, knowing that he should have come or coming, and he couldn't hide if he wanted to.
Johnson no longer had the arrogance he had when he bet with Wang Tianyu before, and said in a somewhat pleading tone: "Mr. Wang, this $10 billion is not a small amount, can you give me a little more time?" ”
"Mr. Johnson, it's been so many days now, aren't you ready to bet?" Wang Tianyu looked at Johnson and asked.
"Besides, 10 billion US dollars, for us financial investors, maybe we can make a lot of money in a few days, even if we put it in the bank, we can charge a lot of interest, who will pay for my loss at that time?" Wang Tianyu continued.
As the chairman of a bank, Johnson naturally understands these truths. Johnson frowned, looked at Wang Tianyu and said, "I only have 20% of the shares of Gachid Bank now, which is worth about $12 billion according to the current market capitalization." ”
"Well, how about I take out 15 percent of my stock to pay off my $10 billion bet?" Johnson looked at Wang Tianyu and said, but his heart was dripping blood, this is 15 percent of the stock, and the savings he had worked so hard for most of his life went to three-quarters at once.
"Mr. Johnson, you don't calculate the account like this, according to the current market value of your bank, 15 percent of the stock is only 9 billion dollars." Wang Tianyu looked at Johnson and said lightly.
"The performance of the bank has been very stable, there is a lot of room for appreciation, and the 15 percent of the stock may soon appreciate to $10 billion, and you will definitely not lose money." Johnson explained to Wang Tianyu.
"But I'm not interested in your Gachid Bank's stocks, and you know that banking is also risky, and if your bank fails, I won't get a bunch of waste paper, so I think I still prefer cash." Wang Tianyu continued.
"But I don't have that much cash, I only have shares in Gachid Bank, and it will take a lot of time to cash out such a large amount of money, and it will be a lot of losses." Johnson frowned and looked at Wang Tianyu and said.
"That's your business, I don't care, I just want to see the results I want." Wang Tianyu looked at Johnson and said.
"Sixteen percent of the shares of the Gatchet Bank are worth the $10 billion bet." Johnson was silent for a while before he spoke, knowing that Wang Tianyu just wanted to bargain with him.
Wang Tianyu didn't speak, but just shook his head at Johnson.
"16.5 percent of the shares of the Gatchet Bank." Johnson gritted his teeth and said to Wang Tianyu, but the expression on his face was very ugly.
Wang Tianyu still didn't speak, just shook his head at Johnson.
"Wang Tianyu, don't go too far, the value of 16.5 percent of the shares of Jiaqide Bank is already equivalent to 10 billion US dollars." Johnson couldn't help standing up at this moment, and said angrily to Wang Tianyu.
"Mr. Johnson, where have I gone too far? But you were going to bet with me at the beginning, and I didn't force you, why, now you lose and become like this? Wang Tianyu looked at Johnson disdainfully.
"You-" Johnson was suddenly so angry that Wang Tianyu was speechless.
Johnson took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, looked at Wang Tianyu and asked, "Then what do you want?" ”
"Twenty percent of the stock is worth your $10 billion bet." Wang Tianyu looked at Johnson and said with a smile.
"No way, you bastard!" After Johnson listened to Wang Tianyu's words, he couldn't help but roar loudly at Wang Tianyu.
"Twenty percent of my stock is worth $12 billion." Johnson then said loudly.
"Well, that's right, now your 20 percent stock is worth 12 billion dollars." Wang Tianyu looked at Johnson calmly and said.
"But if you let those investors know that your largest shareholder and chairman of the bank is unable to pay off your $10 billion debt, do you think the 20 percent of your stock is still worth $12 billion?" Wang Tianyu continued.
"How?" Wang Tianyu then looked at Johnson and asked.
"It's absolutely impossible, you'll die of this heart, even if I sell it to others, I won't cheapen you." Johnson roared at Wang Tianyu.
"Oh, that's a pity, I hope Mr. Johnson can figure it out soon and give me a satisfactory answer." Wang Tianyu said with a regretful face, and after finishing speaking, he left the bank with Concubine Ling Fei.
After Wang Tianyu left, Johnson's anger suddenly exploded, he picked up the water glass in his hand and smashed it hard, but he scolded loudly: "Bastard! ”
After venting, Johnson calmed down, and he knew that his only option now was to sell his shares in the Gatchet Bank. It is basically impossible to sell the 20 percent of the stock in his hand for $12 billion, but according to the current situation, he may be able to sell it for $11 billion if he finds a few more customers and sells them separately. Johnson soon got into action, asking the bankers to start talking about selling the shares.
On the other side, after Wang Tianyu and Concubine Ling Fei just got into the car, Wang Tianyu took out the phone and dialed Hua Xuanwu.
"Sister Wu, release the news immediately, just say that the chairman of the Gached Bank owes me a $10 billion bet that I can't repay, and I also rejected Johnson's suggestion to use the stock to pay off the debt, so Johnson may sell the stock of the Gachid Bank." Wang Tianyu said as soon as he dialed the phone.
"At the same time, I will do my best to suppress the stock price of Gachid Bank." Wang Tianyu continued.
"Well, I know how to do it, don't worry!" Flower Whirldance said with a smile. (To be continued......)
