Chapter 641: Acquisition

In a tea room in the imperial capital, a middle-aged man surnamed Ye is holding a porcelain cup, and the porcelain cup is painted with landscapes and birds, which is very exquisite at first glance.

"Daddy."

Ye Ziming sat opposite the middle-aged man, looking at the newspaper leisurely, "Did you say that Li Lin would agree?" ”

The middle-aged man surnamed Ye smiled, smiling very brightly, and only after laughing enough did he speak, "If his gold medal group still wants to operate normally, then agreeing to our conditions is his only choice." ”

"What if he would rather die and the net be broken?"

"Fish dead and broken? Yezi, you have to understand that no businessman will choose to die and break the net, and the fish and the net are just the impulse of a reckless man who has nothing. ”

The middle-aged man surnamed Ye laughed, "When a person has a qiē, he will have a lot of worries, because he belongs to the vested interests, not a reckless man who is alone." ”

"In order to protect their own interests, they will rack their brains to think, but there are so many people meddling in this matter, and no one can protect him."

"I can't, Mr. Wan can't, and neither can the Wu family."

Since the wolves are here, how can they leave without taking a bite of the meat? No matter how fierce the tiger is, in the face of the wolves, it has to retreat.

"He has no choice but to hand over his shares." The middle-aged man surnamed Ye took a sip of tea gently, "Besides, even if he is unwilling to hand over the shares in his hand, when the butcher's knife of the anti-monopoly law falls on him, he will still be cut off." ”

"By that time, won't the split Gold Group be left to us?"

"That's ......."

Ye Ziming paused suddenly.

Her eyes widened in disbelief as she looked at the newspaper in her hand.

"Ye Ziming."

The displeased voice of the middle-aged man surnamed Ye was transmitted. "Didn't I teach you to let you collapse without changing your color?"

"No matter what. Even if something big happens right in front of you, don't be moved by it. Otherwise, it will be difficult for you to make the right decision. ”

"But just yesterday, in New York, USA, Gold Group announced its merger into Wells Fargo and became one of the members of the Wells Fargo consortium."

Wow!

The face of the middle-aged man surnamed Ye also changed, "What did you say?" ”

"Just yesterday, the Gold Group announced its merger into the Wells Fargo Consortium." Ye Ziming pointed to the newspaper and said: "At two o'clock in the afternoon US time, Wells Fargo held a press conference at the Four Seasons Hotel. ”

"At the launch, John Stampf, CEO and Chairman of the Board of Wells Fargo, announced the merger of Wells Fargo and Gold Group. and impartiality by the U.S. Supreme Court. ”

"In this merger, Wells Fargo exchanged 4% of the shares for 30% of the shares of the Gold Group, officially announcing the merger of the Gold Group into Wells Fargo and becoming one of the core groups of the Wells Fargo Consortium."

It is reported that Wells Fargo is the second largest bank in the United States, with total assets of about $1.16 trillion and a market value of about $114 billion. What is the reason for the sudden announcement of the merger of the two unrelated groups, the reporter is investigating. ”

"Damn."

The middle-aged man surnamed Ye slammed his fist on the table, "I'd rather merge with a foreign consortium." and will not let us cut the flesh on you. ”

"Okay, you Li Lin, you are really ruthless enough."

His voice trembled.

That's the bank.

Bank of the United States, the second largest bank in the United States. The status is equivalent to ICBC, and even internationally. The other party and ICBC are constantly fighting.

If it weren't for ICBC's unique policy support, ICBC would have been defeated by the other party long ago.

And most importantly.

It's more than just a bank. It is also a consortium with tentacles reaching out to all walks of life and has a very broad network around the world.

Once the Gold Medal Group is merged into this kind of consortium, if they don't stop it, it will be equivalent to challenging a consortium, and it is also a medium-sized consortium standing at the top.

He didn't dare, and neither did the Wu family.

This kind of thing, once it is confronted, is very troublesome, and if they are not careful, they will suffer a catastrophe.

I thought that the other party was a piece of fat, but I didn't expect the other party to directly find a tiger to protect himself, and this tiger is not a single tiger, it is also the king of the forest, leading a group of beasts.

Perhaps these beasts are no match for wolves individually, but they can still pose a very big threat to the wolves when they are numerous, and the wolves are not hungry enough to anger a king of the forest for a piece of fat.

"Very good, Li Lin, it seems that I underestimated you." The middle-aged man surnamed Ye gritted his teeth and swept the newspaper on the table, "I thought you were a sheep and let others slaughter you, but I didn't expect you to be a fox, playing fox fake tiger power." ”

"But you think that's the end of it? Wish for the moon. ”

"So what should we do now?" Ye Ziming rarely showed a look of anxiety, "The Gold Medal Group was merged into the Wells Fargo Consortium, and our plan was completely aborted. ”

The most important thing is that her personal relationship with Li Lin has also been declared over.

Originally, they acted as an umbrella for the gold medal group, and they got a lot of benefits, but the family wanted to intervene and directly took away the interests in their hands, if the family succeeded, then it would naturally be fine, just as they were contributing to the family, but now the problem is that the family has failed.

The Gold Medal Group was merged into the Wells Fargo Consortium as a whole and became one of the core members of the Wells Fargo Foundation.

This doomed her family to be unable to invest in and control the Gold Medal Group as planned, and the benefits she paid would not come back.

"Wait."

The middle-aged man surnamed Ye knocked his fist on the table, "You remember, this time we are not the main force, the talents of the Wu family are the main force, they make a move, we just need to help, don't overstep the bounds, it involves a matter of a consortium, not something that one of our families can carry." ”

"You always have to remember that we are wolves, but not hungry wolves, and we are not hungry enough to die if we don't eat, so never take a gamble."

"When the wolves move, we move with us; When the wolves retreat, we retreat, and never charge at the front, especially against a tiger. ”

"I remember."

Before the wolves peeking on the Gold Group could make a move, the Gold Group, which had just merged with Wells Fargo, applied for a $5.7 billion loan to apply to American Technology United to acquire Sikorsky.

American Technology United, a hidden industrial giant in the United States, may not be known in its own right, but its Pratt. The Whitney Company, Carrier Company, Sikorsky Company and Otis Corporation are all world-renowned brands.

Sikorsky is the world's largest helicopter producer.

This company has entered the Chinese market a long time ago, providing helicopters and technical services for the Chinese market.

The reason why Li Lin is interested in Sikorsky is entirely because Sikorsky has the world's top helicopter manufacturing technology, which is a very big temptation for the current Huaxia.

He believes that when the Gold Medal Group annexes this company, the Gold Medal Group will definitely be able to enter the eyes of those at the highest level in Huaxia, and once it enters their eyes, Li Lin will be equivalent to having a talisman, at least those people will not dare to act blatantly.

And, most importantly, Sikorsky is something that can be acquired.

Speaking of Sikorsky, we have to mention all its American technology companies, which used to have a common name with American Airlines and Boeing, which was called United Aircraft and Air Carriers.

Because of the monopoly caused by this company, it was split into three companies by the U.S. government under antitrust law: United Technologies Corporation, American Airlines, and Boeing.

But unlike American Airlines and Boeing, American Technology United is in a very bad financial situation, and on Wall Street, American Technology United is generally disfavored by Wall Street because of its inefficiency.

In Li Lin's previous life, the American Technology United Company almost went bankrupt in 09 years, and in order to save himself, the American Technology United Company was forced to sell some companies that looked good at profitability, and in the words of the American Technology United Company to the public, these companies looked profitable, but in fact there was not much room for profit.

Sikorsky was one of those companies that was sold.

Since United Technologies intends to sell Sikorsky after '09, now that he is proposing to buy, American Technology Combine will likewise not refuse, especially when their financial situation is not very good.

Moreover, the money spent on the acquisition of Sikorsky did not need to be spent by him at all, and Wells Fargo had already sent the money to him.

This is the advantage of being backed by a consortium, and it is not impossible for the big banks to provide a steady stream of funds for the acquisition of various enterprises, and even with the support of the banks, it is not impossible for the snake to swallow the elephant.

In this world, no matter what industry it is, no bank has money, even if it is energy, in terms of the amount of money, it is slightly inferior to the bank, as for other movies and games, it is scum in front of the bank.

When United Technologies received Li Lin's acquisition invitation, it discussed it for two days and immediately responded to Li Lin's acquisition.

"The acquisition is okay, but the price needs to be talked about again."

In their words, Sikorsky is profitable, and the prospects are very good, it is a super imaginative company, and with Li Lin's offer, it is unrealistic to want to buy Sikorsky.

The underlying implication is that you add some money, and we sell it if you add some money.

Of course, Li Lin could not let them shout the price, so the two negotiators engaged in fierce negotiations on the table, and finally Li Lin bought Sikorsky for $5.82 billion. (To be continued......)
