During the luncheon, 12 Wall Street bankers played with Luo Sheng on behalf of their investment banks, and the subsidiaries of new energy vehicle companies on the Cote d'Azur also contained 20% of the foreign capital in them.

Of course, 8 billion US dollars is a huge amount of wealth, about more than 50 billion yuan, but it is not a huge amount for Luo Sheng, and the establishment of new energy vehicle companies is 40 billion US dollars alone.

However, this group of Wall Street bankers invited Luo Sheng to come today, not just to invest the $8 billion.

Just as the luncheon was going on, Paul Watson of Goldman Sachs Capital made eye contact with the executive vice president of Morgan Stanley.

"Mr. Luo, in fact, we have led a team of 33 institutional investment to arrive this time, and we hope to be able to visit the headquarters of the Côte d'Azur tomorrow......" Paul Watson said as he looked at Luo Sheng.

But before he finished speaking, Luo Sheng hurriedly replied: "I know, I know Mr. Watson, but there is really no need to talk about this problem, the Cote d'Azur company will not plan to go public now and for a long time in the future." ”

In the past three years, Luo Sheng has forgotten how many old friends on Wall Street have lobbied in his ear about the proposed Cote d'Azur IPO, and he will talk about it when he really has the opportunity to meet.

Several bankers in the meeting looked at each other, and after a while, Paul Watson, who had two seats across from Luo Sheng, said with a disappointed expression: "God! Mr. Luo, 33 institutions jointly underwrote and sponsored your company's listing on the New York Stock Exchange, and you are rejecting a super financial team with a capital of up to $3.75 trillion. ”

Zhong Yuanhong, who was present at the meeting, basically didn't say anything this time, he couldn't help but look at Luo Sheng, and found that the other party was unmoved.

The other bankers were helpless.

The current Wall Street really loves and hates Luo Sheng, and is thinking about how to persuade Luo Sheng to let the Cote d'Azur go public, and Wall Street internal analysts expect that with the current operating conditions of the Cote d'Azur, the current valuation gives a figure of 450 billion US dollars, and the long-term valuation is a technology company with a market value potential of one trillion US dollars.

There is no doubt that this is an astronomical amount, and if the IPO roadshow really goes smoothly, I am afraid that it will break a new record in IPO history, and it will definitely be broken, even if the $30 billion IPO is completed, Wall Street will not be surprised.

For Wall Street, the biggest problem is that it can't get Luo Sheng, the decisive figure.

As the luncheon ended, the bankers left gentlemanly.

Luo Sheng personally sent the bankers away.

At the gate, Paul Watson suddenly stopped, turned back to Luo Sheng, who was standing in place, and said: "Wall Street will not lobby for action easily. ”

Luo Sheng smiled: "OK, Paul, Goldman Sachs is ready to make a sum of money, the Cote d'Azur is about to issue the third round of corporate bonds, this time we are going to borrow $30 billion from Wall Street, Goldman Sachs I am a hardcore ally, I will borrow as much as you can get the subscription funds." ”

Paul Watson couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, and said humorously: "Wow, I'll participate in lobbying next time." ”

The two sides shook hands again, and the moment Paul Watson turned around to return to the building with a smile on his face, the smile on his face stopped abruptly, and when he walked into the door expressionlessly, he scolded in a low voice: "These insatiable vampires on Wall Street, they are not satisfied with borrowing your loan sharks every once in a while......"

There is no right or wrong in the adult world, only trade-offs.

……

Back in the living and residential area of the building, Luo Sheng said: "Xiao Na, report the current status of the asset management list on the Cote d'Azur, upload it to my private server, and tell me directly and simply how much money you have and how much is the debt ratio?" ”

After a while, Cortana's voice responded from the room: "Master, the detailed list of Côte d'Azur assets has been uploaded. ”

Luo Sheng opened a laptop and stared at the screen, while Xiao Na continued: "The company's current book cash division is in Europe, North America and the mainland, with an amount of $27.7 billion, and the current debt ratio is maintained at 43.7%, and the company's assets are in good condition. ”

Such a debt ratio is low for the Cote d'Azur, the company's warning line for the debt ratio is 65%, the corporate asset-liability ratio should be kept within a reasonable range to be considered appropriate, not the lower the better, if it is too low, it means that the company's financing ability and investment ability is very poor, the development of the enterprise will also be limited, if the debt ratio is too high, the risk will also increase.

If so, the development of the Côte d'Azur should not be very healthy, but in fact it is not, and the previous debt ratio was close to 50%.

However, the earning power of the Cote d'Azur company is becoming more and more terrifying year by year, because it is really making too much, hedging a lot of debts, even if it is a large-scale foreign debt issuance, but the debt ratio is not alive or dead......

Luo Sheng closed his laptop and said: "Send an email to Lao Yao in my name to start planning the third round of issuance of 3A-rated corporate bonds by the Cote d'Azur, with the same interest rate and a bond size of $23 billion......"

After the order, he no longer dealt with the affairs of work, and called the Qingxue sister paper over to exercise.

The $30 billion, or about 200 billion yuan, will basically be spent on the Cte d'Azur laboratory for scientific research expenditure.

It is worth mentioning that the "Côte d'Azur Laboratory" is now known as the "Oriental Bell Laboratory" by the Western media, and the people who eat melons are also nicknamed it.

This is not a laboratory, but a comprehensive name, simply put, it is composed of many laboratories or research institutions, and all over the world, in addition to the company's headquarters in the core experimental center of Galaxy City, there are currently R&D centers in Göttingen, Germany, Sweden, the United Kingdom, France, Canada, the United States, Japan and other places.

It is also known as the "Côte d'Azur laboratory", competing for talent on a global scale.

At present, the number of employees of Côte d'Azur has expanded to 110,000, including more than 50,000 engineers, scientists and researchers working in the Côte d'Azur laboratory.

Google offered an engineer a price, and Luo Sheng's company increased fivefold according to Google's standards, and even like some overseas scientists, in order to be able to recruit his subordinates, the scientist was unwilling to leave the city where he lived, so the Cote d'Azur directly built a laboratory with him.

It's that ruthless.

Basically, few people can refuse this kind of sincerity.

There is another company in China that does the same, and the investment in talent is not worrying about money at all.

……

In the afternoon, Luo Sheng received a call from the "Innovation Workshop" of Bluestar Technology, changed into a set of outfits and went to sea on his private yacht.

The submarine data pod that sank into the offshore zone of the East China Sea will be recycled today.

Submarine data center, this is a grand strategy that Luo Sheng attaches great importance to, all his layouts seem to be independent on the surface, but in fact have deep linkage attributes, new energy vehicles and unmanned driving are inseparable from the support of big data and cloud technology.

Otherwise, the technical basis of this piece will come up, and the other technology will not keep up, and it will not be industrialized and commercialized.

The development of science and technology at the national strategic level, including Beidou navigation, is inextricably linked.
