To avoid long nights and dreams, Shi Hu hopes to swallow it in one bite. The veterans of the casino are deliberately teasing MGM, and their previous resolute attitude has been greatly relaxed, and the offer is very affordable...... It's a very dark move, but it's a good time to grab a short spot.

It's just that half a billion dollars are needed, how can the remaining 300 million be raised?

If you mortgage Maxim, you don't have to have 100 million, the gap of 200 million, is it really necessary to sell patents cheaply and make those bastards who take advantage of the fire to rob snicker?

Thinking of this, Shi Hu was also quite helpless, it was difficult to do everything with money...... With a headache, Erica knocked on the door and came in, saw his expression, and said with concern, "What's wrong?" ”

"Sit down." Shi Hu motioned for her to sit down first, and then looked at her: "The perfect opportunity is right in front of you, but the price of seizing it is too great. ”

"You can think about the loan again." Erica shared the pressure for him and took out the information he brought: "I'll help you sort out some information, in addition to the Maxim Hotel, the project and value of Onyx can also provide you with sufficient funds, the only thing is the evaluation time." ”

"Show me." Shi Hu took a look at the information, the patent has been evaluated by an appraisal agency, and the value is more than 600 million US dollars, even if the bank discounts, the mortgage ratio is at least more than 50%, that is, 300 million US dollars can be easily obtained. But Erica's concern is time.

It will certainly take some time to evaluate and decide to grant a loan.

At present, the help of the veterans of the casino has attracted MGM's attention, making them think that the old man has relented and wants to change the pension flower...... The tricks can only temporarily blind the sight, and when MGM's funds are returned, the conspiracy and conspiracy can't stop the huge capital.

"There are some banks that are willing to lend to high risk." Erica hesitated.

"Maybe it's a path, too." Shi Hu propped his chin and thought about it, and turned his attention to her: "Hey, you have dark circles under your eyes, and you haven't slept well at night?" ”

"There's a lot of work." Erica was succinct and to the point.

"You should pay more attention to your private life." Shi Hu was a little apologetic, he ate and slept well, but the assistant didn't know what to do.

"This is your chance, and it will not be easy to encounter in the future." Erica is more attentive than he is.

"Leave the information, you give me a back rest!" Shi Hu ordered, raised his hand and looked at his watch: "Don't appear in front of me before three o'clock in the afternoon." ”

She was still hesitant, and Shi Hu waved his hand: "Let's go, I'll think about the next thing." ”

After Erica left, Shi Hu's brain turned at high speed, the loan is inevitable, but the time must also be fast, and the slow one will definitely not be able to catch up with the good time.

He considered taking out a loan from Amex, which should be faster as a platinum user, but Amex's banking business is mostly concentrated in the east...... After thinking about it again, he picked up the phone and dialed a number: "Hi, Madeleine! ”

"Tiger?" Madeleine's voice came, "Research progressed?" ”

"No, not yet." Shi Hu's heart is really a workaholic.

"I'm trying to bother you with something else, about bank loans."

Madeleine wondered: "Loan? ”

The Rosenstein family is rumored to be the top five shareholders of Wells Fargo, and as for the origin of Wells Fargo, needless to say, the top four American banking companies in terms of assets, headquartered in San Francisco, are naturally undoubtedly strong in the west, and if they make a move, they will inevitably be faster.

After hearing Shi Hu's idea, Madeleine Rosenstein said that she would help...... After waiting for fifteen minutes, her phone came in again: "The mortgage ratio of the fast loan is not high, but it can provide you with fast financial assistance, and there will be someone to talk to you about, opinion?" ”

"No problem." Shi Hu was very crisp.

……

The benefits of having a wide network are reflected, Madeleine and him are friends, although she is not involved in the financial business of the Rosenstein family, but it is always okay to mention it, and she is also optimistic about Shi Hu's biological research, especially the market for new hemostatic drugs.

A word or two of affirmation from an acquaintance is more useful than many investigations.

When Shi Hu sat down with the regional manager of Wells Fargo, he understood that the American model of human relations was more direct and profitable. The two sides discussed their needs and obligations in detail, and Shi Hu said that the research results of Maxim and Onyx could be used as collateral.

The other party has little concern about fixed assets, referring to the hotel financial reports in recent years, it can provide a loan of more than 80 million, while in the medical research of Onix, it is not enough to rely on appraisal, the bank has to conduct its own comprehensive value evaluation, and then convert it into a certain mortgage rate.

Because it is a task assigned by the above, and the amount is not small, the bank processing speed is very fast. Three days later, the results were obtained, and the patent value was assessed at $500 million, but because of the uncertainty of the value of the drug patent, the mortgage ratio could only be given at a maximum of 50%, that is, $250 million.

Together with the hotel's $80 million, a total of $330 million in loans.

After getting the result, Shi Hu breathed a sigh of relief, although the loan he obtained was not much, it was enough to solve the urgent need, and it was better than transferring the patent to a profiteer who took advantage of the fire at a low price...... Even Erica, who has been worried about these things lately, has a smile on her face.

"Congratulations!" Shi Hu sat her down, took two champagne glasses, handed her one, and the two touched each other, taking a sip to celebrate the stage victory.

Shi Hu sat at his desk and planned: "When the loan is completed, we can get all the land settled, and then the construction will begin." ”

"You're fast." Erica congratulates him.

"yes, I didn't expect it to be so fast." Shi Hu looked out the window, "It is estimated that in a few years, there will be the industry of my dream in Changjie." ”

"Have you thought about the style?" Erica asked.

"I want to go modern or futuristic, there are too many ancient styles in casinos, Luxor in Egypt, Bellagio in Italy, Caesar's Palace in Rome...... Repetition will lead to aesthetic fatigue and lack of novelty, didn't you say that the main consumer force of the casino in the future will be young people? ”

She was visionary: "Yes. Young people are not keen on gambling, eating, drinking and having fun is the purpose of their consumption, novelty and fun are a major factor, and having an integrated shopping and leisure center will be the successful template of a standard casino resort. ”

"You're a better boss than I am." Shi Hu said with a smile.

……

The trouble of the loan was finally solved, and Shi Hu chose a medium-term three-year loan with an annual interest rate of 6%, and if it was calculated on a three-year basis, he would need to repay the interest of $60 million after maturity...... Sure enough, it is still the most profitable bank, the depositor's money comes in, the depositor's money goes out, and then it is easy to earn tens of millions.

The money is in hand, and the problem of acquisition is non-stop.

The main acquirer of this large group of projects is Stone International, an offshore company registered in the British Virgin Islands, which paid US$503 million to acquire a 90% stake in two small and medium-sized casino hotels on Long Street, three commercial buildings and three large open-air car parks.

The contract was signed over a few days, and then the representatives of both sides celebrated with champagne, and although the process was slightly bumpy, the result was still a happy one.

The only frustrated party was MGM, and the originally enthusiastic hotel representatives suddenly refused to negotiate on the grounds that the price was not uniform.

When I get the news of Stone International's acquisition again, the fool knows that he has been tricked. But there is nothing to do, the shopping mall is like a battlefield, you can't say that others lie to you, it can only prove that you are not smart enough. Of course, the main reason is that MGM's focus is not in this area, otherwise Shi Hu would not have had a problem.

Buying the casino and the building, as well as a large number of parking lots, Shi Hu's big plan has been implemented as the first step, and he has obtained the actual mapping data, the land is nearly 600 meters long, 400 meters wide, and covers an area of more than 60 acres, compared with the rest of the five-star hotels in the casino, the area is already comparable.

The only thing missing now is how to build a super five-star casino hotel on it, Shihu's plan is to invest 3 billion US dollars, and the premium may be 4 billion, and 500 million have been smashed into it. To satisfy the mentality of being a big boss, the holding ratio must be more than 51%.

For the sake of calculation, he raised it to 60%, which means that at least 1.8 billion of his own funds are contributed, and the rest can find partners, private equity for specific groups (such as the EB-5 program), and investing in Las Vegas hotels is a popular choice, as long as the plan is favored - many good plans are lost to funds.

Shi Hu needs to invest 1.8 billion, deducting the current 500 million, he also needs to raise at least 1.3 billion, the patent of hemostatic drugs and the self-healing and derivative technology with broad prospects in the future are not difficult. Dream of a big step! Now the main problem is focused on: funding and style selection.
