Chapter 166: Technology Flow (4)
As a tycoon with assets of more than 100 million yuan, Huang Xuan's every time he contacts a bank consortium, it just matches his identity. Both Citibank and UBS have become accustomed to informing Huang Xuan of his assets once a month, although most of the time, Huang Xuan does not listen carefully.
To raise $2.3 billion, Huang Xuan would need to pledge $1.2 billion worth of bonds and almost all of Brazil's assets, and although the market value of Xihuang Industrial, which has appreciated slightly due to the prominent value of the port of Santos, these add up to just buy 3.5% of Southwest Bell's shares.
What's more, there are many legal issues with non-own funds used to purchase shares.
After lunch, Aubrey and Dutois, who brought two accountants, came to see Huang Xuan, UBS was originally a fairly open financial institution, but in 1997, after the merger of UBS and UBS, although the latter name was retained, in fact, it was UBS that took over UBS, which meant that conservatism began to prevail in UBS.
As a former employee of UBS, Dutois was sent to build a relationship with a future tycoon with a strong pioneering spirit, which was at odds with the conservative spirit of the Swiss bank, and he was nearly fired after the merger was completed. However, who would have thought that a 16-year-old boy would become a world-class rich man in just one year.
With assets of $3 billion, which is even the total assets of many multinational companies, Dutoita has secured his position in the bank, but he knows better than ever what it feels like to walk on thin ice. So, compared to Aubrey's hesitation, Ditowa is much more active in terms of mortgages.
However, Pfizer's $1.2 billion bond can only be borrowed through Citibank, and it cannot exceed $200 million, which makes Huang Xuan a little angry, and there is nothing to be done.
Aubrey also explained that it was not tasteful. In terms of ability, there is a gap between him and Dutois, in general, as an American man who has just turned forty, Mr. White can be regarded as famous, but compared with the old man Dutois, he is a little young.
Because of this, Citibank's internal decision, Aubrey also "interjected", although he knew that by taking this loan, he could show favor to Huang Xuan and get more expected benefits, but he still failed to do it after all.
Huang Xuanwei was a little disappointed, but he was not too harsh on Aubrey, in his opinion, it is precisely because of the different abilities of the two people that Aubrey is more like his financial steward, and he is more like a big customer in Ditois's name, which is obviously different for him.
Judging from the appearance, Huang Xuan said completely calmly: "Both of you want coffee, right?" Kopi Luak? I took it from my mother's desk cabinet. ”
"Of course." Aubrey stood up and took it, and then put it on the table himself, he didn't know if Huang Xuan intended to say this, he was telling him: There was a big family when he was there? Just one sentence gave Mr. White a headache.
Dutois was more prepared, he took a form from the accountant's hand, gently handed it to Huang Xuan, and said, "Mr. Huang, UBS has just raised your credit rating, if you are willing to pay interest at the above interest rate, we can mortgage your assets in Brazil to lend you 2 billion US dollars." He glanced at Aubrey and said, "But I want to remind you that the money from the loan cannot be used to buy shares directly." ”
Huang Xuan didn't tell him which company he would buy, but he always had to tell him what to do with the money.
"I know." Huang Xuan smiled slightly, pulling the people of the two banks together, and only billionaires can do it. Xiao Huang didn't look at the form on the table, but sipped his coffee and said, "My idea is to gradually pay off the jewelry and artwork mortgaged in the bank." ”
"You want to sell them?" Aubrey reacted immediately.
Huang Xuan nodded and said, "I will meet with the gentlemen of Christie's and Sotheby's this afternoon, if there is no problem, in about one month, most of them will be sold, and then, after paying off this part of the money, we will talk about the loan." ”
That is, to buy shares with your own assets, and then use them as collateral for shares, although this is troublesome, it is not intended to be quite a feasible way.
Dutoit nodded in agreement and said, "Then I'll go back and prepare." ”
Huang Xuan smiled and bowed his head, "Then it will be troublesome to Mr. Dutois." He pushed the form to Dutoit, saying, "I'm going to Switzerland and the United States in the near future, uh, actually, several countries, and I'd like to see Mr. Meiss and Mr. Rubin if I can." ”
Meiss is President of UBS and Rubin is President of Citigroup.
As a 3 billion billionaire, it is natural to meet with the senior management of the two banks, the two nodded yes, and seeing that Huang Xuan had nothing to say, everyone got up and said goodbye.
Huang Xuan stood up and sent it off, and said, "Can Mr. White stay for a while?" Do I have any U.S. matters that I need your help with? ”
"Okay." There was no performance today, which made Aubrey a little anxious, if he only relied on Citi itself, he was worried that it would be exchanged, and if so, the Manhattan mansion would not be able to pay off the loan.
Dutois turned and left the living room, this is still the Hilton suite, Huang Xuan has become accustomed to this place as an office space, with Lorraine to help, there will always be no security problems.
Aubrey sat firmly on the sofa, his briefcase on his lap, he didn't bring the accountant because he didn't actually need it, but looking at Dutoit's performance today, he knew that the accountant could also be used as a vase.
Huang Xuan poured himself a glass of Sprite with ice, sat on the table with his legs crossed, and said, "Does Citi have a business relationship with Oracle?" ”
In front of Ditois, Huang Xuan is always more serious, but in the face of Aubrey, he is much more comfortable.
"Of course. The current president is Lawrence, and in fact, Citi's database system is also made by Oracle. ”
"Great system, isn't it?" Huang Xuan shrugged his shoulders and said, "Almost relying on a relational database system, it has grown from a small mill to a company worth nearly 100 billion US dollars, and it is really full of money." ”
"Huh?" The second half of Huang Xuan's sentence was said in Chinese, and Aubrey was used to talking to Huang Xuan without an interpreter.
"Nothing." Huang Xuan spread out his hand, put Sprite on the desk, and said with a disdainful smile: "I want to talk to Mr. Lawrence, if Citi comes forward, maybe it will be more convenient." ”
"No problem."
"That's fine." Huang Xuan stood up, patted Aubrey on the shoulder, and said, "I'll be going to the United States in the next two days, and I should bring two friends with me, and it would be best if I could meet Mr. Rubin." ”
“OK。” Aubrey thought about how to deal with these problems, and said goodbye without showing a trace on his face.
Huang Xuan took him by the shoulders and sent him to the door, and Aubrey suddenly remembered something and said, "Mr. Huang, I heard that you have several thoroughbreds?" If it were on the horse farm, Mr. Rubin would be very talkative. ”
Rubin is a former Treasury secretary of the U.S. "government", and before entering the "government", he worked at Goldman Sachs for 26 years, and is a person who is good at self-discipline and familiar with the rules.
"Thoroughbreds?" The corners of Huang Xuan's mouth showed a hint of a smile, and he joked: "If I win him, won't it be bad?" ”
"Of course not." Aubrey laughed too.
