Chapter 115: Threat
Marc didn't come alone.
He was accompanied by a gorgeously dressed lady, Catherine, an assistant investment manager at Merrill Lynch — which, of course, as the president's second daughter, attracted more attention.
Since the last time they met in the restaurant, although Chen Yi has paid more attention to the existence of the Vatican, he has not directly intersected with Marque. Add to that the attack of a group of European goods, and his smile is a little fake.
If it weren't for Washington, where he didn't know each other, he would definitely not entertain the two.
Catherine came to the living room as if walking the red carpet, and Marke stood in front of Chen Yi and laughed loudly: "Mr. Cheng is a young talent, and with the family business that he has worked hard for, it is really enviable. ”
"I'm not religious." Chen Yi actually didn't want to listen to his ramblings.
In addition, the increase in strength has made him more and more able to arouse the feelings of justice when facing the evil forces - of course, how to judge evil and justice should belong to his subjective right.
Marker smiled and introduced the woman beside him, "This is Miss Catherine, the deputy manager of the investment department of Merrill Lynch, you have seen before." ”
"Miss Catherine."
Chen Yi's expression was still faint.
Marker continued disapprenosingly: "Mr. Chen, we are here this time in the hope of joining Jinyuan International Company in the name of Merrill Lynch. ”
He was smiling very badly, and this kind of expression was quite lethal to fools and fools. A foolish man and a foolish woman who despises a foolish woman will also be killed and injured when they are not paying attention.
However, Chen Yi had seen too many magic sticks. The mages of the Kingdom of San Chio, who are not the legendary living immortals.
Ever since he had the magic subway, Chen Yi occasionally thought about it. There may or may not be a God in the world. But if there really is a god, then the god must be a yellow-skinned Chinese, otherwise why would he let himself get such an important means of transportation? Goods such as Jesus Christ may also exist, but they are like the second wife of the true God, and they can do things that are annoying to people, but as long as they are not excessive, God will turn a blind eye after sleeping with them.
Now, facing the believers of the second wife. Chen Yiyong can't afford the slightest sense of adoration of fools and fools.
Marc put away his smile in disappointment and said, "Mr. Chen, we provide two plans for your reference. One is to co-finance, set up a new company, and we help you pass the new bill. One is the acquisition of Jinyuan International by Merrill Lynch for $85 million. We invest another $100 million in the company's capital, and you still own 30% of the equity. Of course, you must be able to margin the profitability of Source International ......"
The conditions are unimaginable. In particular, the acquisition of the second point is equivalent to nearly 100 million US dollars to Chen Yi for nothing.
It's easy to run $100 million on Wall Street, but it's hard to have $100 million.
It can be said that except for Mark, who believes that Chen Yi relied on some kind of program, not a supercomputer, to make his fortune, no other company would ever offer this price - according to the prevailing rate of return, a normal lightning trader will only have a return on capital of 20 to 30 percent per year, which is not so frightening.
Their era of flourishing has not yet arrived, and they are still limited by the computing power of computers.
No one knew that Chen Yi's offshore company could make $15 million a day, and no one knew that his company operated at zero cost.
As you can imagine, when Marc proposed this trade condition, he was under a lot of pressure. If it weren't for Catherine's support around her, the investment department would have split him out a long time ago.
However, in fact his judgment was wrong.
The "Kraken" can't get a stake in the company on the surface. In other words, if Marker gives 85 million beautiful scenery to Chen Yi, and the latter runs away, Merrill Lynch Bank will not get anything.
Of course, when it comes to making a transaction, the bank will evaluate it. But the severity of such assessments varies from person to person, and if there are any scammers who want to make a fortune on it – there is no shortage of successful people in Wall Street's history.
Chen Yi shook his head regretfully and said, "You have found the wrong person." ”
"The company doesn't belong to you?"
Chen Yi just shook his head and didn't speak.
Marc fell silent.
The basis for his judgment is actually very simple: if Jinyuan International really has a supercomputer that can monopolize the New York Stock Exchange, then the cost of this supercomputer will drag down a small company in two or three months.
To be more precise, a small company simply does not have the financial resources to build such a supercomputer.
Therefore, he decided that it was a moment of genius, a magical computer program, and even a theory. Just like the former Nobel laureates did in Long-Term Capital Management.
In general, Marc is still a brave young man with a big future - too easy to trust his own judgment and always generalize.
However, if the company is not Chen Yi's - how is this possible!
Marc shook his head and said, "Mr. Chen, after careful investigation, we know that you own the ...... of Jinyuan International Company."
"It's a very simple investigation."
"Merrill Lynch will not let you roll up on Wall Street." Catherine spoke suddenly.
Her identity is still somewhat deterrent.
Chen Yi smiled and suddenly asked, "How do you know that I came to the United States?" ”
"I have something to do ......with it," Marker replied, trying not to bring the two sides to a stalemate, but said nothing.
Chen Yi regretted that he hadn't torn open a listening scroll just now.
He shook his head and said in Chinese: "Ride a donkey and read the record book." ”
With that, he lifted his backpack and left the room.
Catherine stopped him and said, "We have a very good relationship with Mellon Bank, far better than your relationship with Mellon. ”
"Oh?"
"If Merrill Lynch questions the credibility of Golden Resources International, guess what the outcome will be?" Catherine said triumphantly.
Chen Yi shrugged and said, "If you want to question our credibility, you have to present evidence. ”
"Is the evidence really necessary?" Catherine laughed: "Do you think there will be any bank examiner who will help you pass tens of billions of dollars in loans, risking the opposite of Merrill Lynch's existing doubts?" Don't even think about it. ”
She exhaled fiercely, took out a cigarette from Kun's bag, and said on fire: "We don't even need to put pressure on other banks, as long as we put you on the list of no trust, tomorrow morning, other banks will hide far away." I came from a bank, and I know how those experiences are vetted, and they don't have that many resources to do duplicate inspections, otherwise what's the point of banking networking. ”
Chen Yi had to admit that what she said made a lot of sense.
The most terrifying thing is that the best reputation of Golden Resources International comes from the National Bank of Mellon. If the latter gives a rather poor evaluation, the damage to credibility is very large. It's hard to imagine a bank that would put tens of billions of dollars on an unsafe company.
The priest smiled softly: "Tomorrow, please attend tomorrow's golf club, and your main bank, William of Mellon Bank, will also participate." If you're really not the boss, bring the boss with you. ”
"Also." He said very priestly, "It's better to bring a female companion." ”
The two laughed and left the suite. An invitation was left behind.
Chen Yi sat back on the bed in astonishment, clutching the red letter in his hand and falling into deep thought.
In Wall Street, you can't do anything without the support of the banks.
He is not rich enough, so he has an income of about 1.5 billion in three months, and after deducting various expenses, especially the $400 million for his father, there is still 1 billion left.
If you don't have 300 times the bank's leverage, only this money to make lightning trades, the profit will drop by at least 10 times.
That means $1.5 million a day with $1 billion, or $375 million a year. And have to be accompanied by a supercomputer.
If the Kraken charges, Jinyuan International will have to pay to Grandma's house.
Other brokerages are 30% of the net profit after removing equipment and labor expenses.
"The god stick really deserves to be killed."
Chen Yi patted his head. If it's a 30% profit, there's really no need for him to continue to mess around on Wall Street.
Marc seemed to give him a choice, but he didn't. Because he couldn't merge the Kraken into a heavily regulated company.
"I'm looking for a new bank. And it has nothing to do with Merrill Lynch. ”
It's not easy.
However, I still have to attend tomorrow's banquet.
Chen Yi walked out of the room, called Tang Xiongfei, and said, "Find me a female companion tomorrow, and a set of golf equipment, oh, and a golf coach, teach me tonight." ”
Tang Xiongfei recorded it on a piece of paper and said, "Do you have any requirements for the female companion?" Color, ethnicity or something? ”
Chen Yi thought for a moment, thinking that a round of golf could be so long that he wanted to vomit, so he took five seconds to dig out his wallet, took out one of the few poor business cards, and said, "I'll give you a call, Emily, she goes to school in New York, and you send someone to pick him up." I'll call him. ”
"Okay."
The hotel lobby was full of people.
Chen Yi went to the restaurant under the guidance of the waiter, sat for a while before calling Emily, and then called his grandfather.
On this planet, it is not only the free world represented by the United States that has banks.
On the other side of Capitol Hill, a group of bank managers are partying.
Its host is none other than Catherine.
William Mellon held champagne and chased after her, with a smile on his face, and said, "I heard that you went to warn the boss of Jinyuan International?" ”
"A little Chinese boy." Catherine gestured with her hand to the meaning of small.
William laughed, but said meaningfully: "It seems that Merrill Lynch is bound to enter the lightning transaction?" In person? ”
"How?" Catherine has always been unpretentious about the men who pursue her: "Didn't you also pay the exchange?" Do you want to be a side-by-side service provider? ”
"Looks like you're trying to save money on anti-lobbying Schumer."
"That old fox is too hard to raise."
The two clinked glasses slightly.
