Chapter 238: The Cleveland Consortium
Chapter 238: The Cleveland Consortium
Huang Jindi's habit is to drink tea for a while after dinner, Huang Yanbang, Huang Qunsheng, Huang Zhibo and Huang Kunjie all accompanied him to talk, several ladies also gathered around, talking casually, Huang Xuan turned his head and saw that there were three boys behind his buttocks.
Even Xiao Mink Meimei was called over by the ladies, and Huang Xuan was very sad to find that although he was a 3 billion billionaire, he could only be the king of children at home.
Huang Zhi and Huang Ling want to play games, Huang Song is a follower, Huang Xuan led the three boys upstairs, looking for someone to prepare PS2 and X-box for them, Huang Zhi was dissatisfied: "There are no peripherals." ”
"Peripherals?" Huang Xuan usually prefers to play computers rather than TV games, and the game consoles at home are more often for friends to play.
"Flight sticks, arcade sticks, feedback steering wheels and foot pedals, you don't have anything. Oh, my God. Huang Zhi let out a dissatisfied cry.
Huang Ling immediately said: "And there is no 'liquid' crystal TV dedicated to X-BOX." ”
"I don't have my favorite ray gun, and I'm the best at playing the Haunted House of Death." Huang Song threw the handle out.
Suddenly, Huang Xuan felt that he couldn't keep up with the times, Huang Zhi said "oh" again, and said: "And you don't even have a special speaker, oh my God, where did you use all your money." ”
Huang Xuan's face turned dark, and he asked depressedly: "Can anyone tell me, what is the use of the special 'liquid' crystal TV and stereo?" ”
"Cooler!" The three boys spoke in unison.
Looking at the three of them looking at him with blank eyes, Huang Xuan finally surrendered and said, "OK, write a list to me, I'll call them to send it." ”
"Hooray." The three boys screamed and began to play X-box with great interest, Huang Xuan became more and more puzzled, now that there is nothing, why are they happy again? But he couldn't take his word back, waved his hand, and walked out of the crazy room.
"Lorraine, find me something interesting." Seeing that he had no place to go downstairs and no one paid attention to him upstairs, Huang Xuan had no choice but to find Lorraine again.
"Playing games?" Lorraine said with his precise understanding: "I can top up your World of Warcraft account with 36 gold and 47 silver. ”
"So precise?"
"Money cap."
Huang Xuan shrugged his shoulders and said, "If you had told me earlier, it would have been really good to sell it to Liu Penggang." "People who have just eaten two abalone should not be greedy for these small money.
"So do you want to play Warcraft?" Lorraine asked again.
"Forget it." Huang Xuan shook his head and said, "It's better to go to another plane to play Warcraft, so let's do it, you pick up Zhang Rong for me." In addition, open an energy screen for me to see the assets of Hexin Industrial in Brazil. ”
"Okay, soon."
Brazil's soybean cultivation is around October every year, so this period is also the busiest time for Brazil's big growers, Huang Xuan lived in São Paulo for two months, and these naturally understand, if it weren't for Mr. Comas's problems, he should have gone to Brazil to inspect now.
Zhang Rong, who received the call, seemed to have just woken up, Huang Xuan looked at his watch and said with a smile: "I forgot that there is an 11-hour time difference between Brazil and China, how are you doing over there?" ”
"It's good, it's just that I've been busy signing contracts with those seed companies and agricultural machinery companies recently, and I've been a little busy." Zhang Rong said, half explaining, half acknowledging: "I talked late last night with Blairo Maggi, the governor of Mato Grosso, and you said that you want to expand the planting area in Brazil, my idea is whether to buy land in Mato Grosso, which is the main soybean producing area in Brazil, with complete infrastructure and easy access to workers." ”
"Expanding the acreage is our stated goal, and there is no problem with that." Huang Xuan thought about it and said, "But I prefer to expand the production of food crops, especially wheat, and you should also pay attention to this." ”
Wheat can be sold in any plane, but soybeans can't, Huang Xuan knows it very well in his heart.
Zhang Rong's mind cleared up as he spoke, but he didn't ask Huang Xuan why he wanted to produce wheat instead of the more valuable soybeans, but just replied, "Okay." Huang Xuan sat in his room, squinting his eyes and listening, as if he were listening to the commentary.
When he was about to finish, Huang Xuan suddenly remembered something again, and said, "How much cash does Hexin have in his hand now, minus daily expenses." ”
"About $50 million to $60 million." Zhang Rong replied after a moment's thought.
"Take it out." Huang Xuan knocked his finger and said, "You transfer the money to the account of the Union Bank of Switzerland, and you don't have to worry about the rest." ”
"Understood."
Huang Xuan whispered to Lorraine again: "Let Ditois continue to buy Southwest Bell's shares, there is less than half a month to go, and you can spend as much as you want." ”
Stock bids can only be self-funded, and while many people do not comply with this, such a clause is still a deterrent for shareholders.
As soon as she hung up the phone, Lorraine said, "Dutoit wants to talk to you." ”
"Okay." Huang Xuan took a breath, he didn't know when he would start to get busy.
But it's very comfortable.
Dutowa's voice was dull, and he didn't know which country he was in, so he said in a hoarse voice: "Mr. Huang, there are some situations that I think I should inform you." ”
"Oh?"
"I've been keeping an eye on Southwest Bell's equity distribution lately, do you know the Cleveland consortium?"
"An industrial and mining consortium?" Of course, Huang Xuan knew that when the horse race was held that day, it was the three young men of the Cleveland consortium who "donated" it.
"Yes, that's right." Dutois continued to be hoarse: "The Cleveland consortium may be trying to transform, I don't know the specifics, but in the past some time, they have acquired about 8% of the shares of Southwest Bell. ”
"Maybe I've heard something." Huang Xuan frowned.
"The wind?"
"Yes, that's right." Huang Xuan remembered that he had also received a letter inviting him to join the board of directors, and calculated the time, that is, these days, so he said: "Southwest Bell may have a new acquisition, so it is possible that the stock will increase in value." ”
Ditois had actually guessed it a long time ago, and said: "The problem now is that the Cleveland consortium is strong, and in the circulation market, we can't absorb chips." ”
"What about minority shareholders?"
"Nobody wants to sell their shares at this time."
Huang Xuan hesitated for a moment and asked, "Who is in charge of the Cleveland consortium's stake in Southwest Bell?" ”
Dutois flipped through the information in his hand and said, "It's a little guy, a descendant of the Mather family, Aiken. Mather. ”
"Aiken?"
"That's right."
Huang Xuan exhaled and said with a smile: "The world is so small. ”
"You know him?"
"He lost me $30 million, which is actually more than that." Huang Xuan rubbed his eyes and said, "It seems that it is still difficult for us to occupy a good position on the board of directors of Southwest Bell?" ”
It's hard to reply to Ditois, and if it's really $30 million, it's almost a big hate. He didn't know that Huang Xuan had robbed someone else's crush.
"How much cash do I have?"
"Less than $300 million, sir."
Huang Xuan did the math and felt that Liu Ziqing should be able to raise tens of millions of dollars for himself in a short period of time, so he said: "If I use all these to buy stocks......
"Mr. Huang." Although it was rude, Dutoit couldn't help but interrupt him: "Your total stock value in Southwestern Bell has exceeded $3 billion, in fact, it is almost $3.5 billion, and betting all your assets on stocks, especially one stock, is a very unstable portfolio. ”
"I need a voice in Southwestern Bell." Huang Xuan said in an accentuated voice: "Don't worry about the funds, I will find a way to raise it, the question now is, you can't let the Cleveland consortium become the first shareholder of Southwest Bell, do you have a way?" ”
"No, sir, but they don't have a good chance of becoming the largest shareholder, and besides, it's not easy for the Mather family to know where you want to invest."
"With the addition of the FBI, it's simple." Huang Xuan shook his head and said.
Dutois is Swiss, so naturally he is not worried about the FBI, but he also understands that Huang Xuan may be in trouble because of this, so he can't help but say: "Mr. Huang, in the past week, the stock price of Southwest Bell has risen by 5 percent, if we sell this stock now......
"Keep absorbing."
"There are no stocks in the secondary market anymore."
"Then buy AT&T shares." Huang Xuan finally said.
In fact, if you only talk about the circle of money, the acquisition of AT&T shares has more potential for appreciation, because the price given by Southwest Bell in the end, 16 billion US dollars, will exceed the real price of AT&T by about 1.5 billion US dollars, in other words, buying this stock, you can almost make a stable profit of 10%, and in the capital market of more than 1 billion US dollars, it should be satisfactory enough to get such a high return in a month.
But in the early stage, it is impossible for Huang Xuan to directly acquire AT&T's shares, which will not achieve the goal, and the Americans will definitely write the patent restrictions into the terms, and at the same time, it will also shake the Sony people who have become frightened, and when it comes to the stage of secondary market acquisition, it will not be subject to such restrictions. The reason Huang Xuan never did this was because he didn't want Dutoit to know about his plans too soon.
The latter, after all, belongs to the Union Bank of Switzerland, and not to him.
And in just a moment, Dutois understood, and said: "Southwestern Bell will buy AT&T?" "Huang Xuan just told him that Southwest Bell would have a takeover.
"If it develops normally." Huang Xuan shrugged, as to who will take a stake in Southwest Bell, no plane can give an answer, because the buffer belt doesn't care about such a process at all, it only cares about the result.
"I'll do it right away." Dutoit's whole body was excited.
