Beverly Hills is a dream destination for the world's richest and richest people around the world.

As the most famous city-within-a-city in Los Angeles, it is home to some of the world's most exclusive shopping streets, the mansions of Hollywood's movie stars, and Beverly Hills, the mecca of world cinema, attracts countless tourists from all over the world every year.

It is home to the world's best fashion brands, and each store is splendour.

Ji Cheng sat in Marven. In the Rolls-Royce driven by Davis's driver, through the window, he could see a lot of finely carved marble and brass gates full of art and old-fashioned complex aesthetics at night, and arched fountains dotted the street.

Ji Cheng has stayed in a hotel here before, so he naturally knows a lot about the situation here, and knows that Beverly Hills has become a "star home" as early as the thirties of the twentieth century, and the commercial value here is extremely high.

It's a pity that Huaying Pictures is going to be sold.

Otherwise, it would be a good choice to buy a luxury house here.

Ji Cheng browsed the scenery while secretly pondering in his heart, "In fact, if Huaying Entertainment develops well, it can not be sold, provided that I can win this battle and get enough money from the stock market, once this is the case, I can use Huaying Entertainment as the main body to acquire several large film and television companies in the beautiful country according to my memory, and when the time comes, the global entertainment industry will be laid out, which is also a profiteering industry." ”

Forget it, let's talk about it later.

He knows that his top priority is to complete the business blueprint as soon as possible, and as for Huaying Pictures, it will not be able to sell casually before it achieves certain box office results.

Soon, the car arrived at its destination.

Before he drove in, Ji Chengcheng was shocked by the extremely luxurious manor in front of him.

This is a palace-like mansion manor, from the outside, it covers an area of at least tens of thousands of square feet, and even, not far from the car, Ji Cheng saw a huge garage with dozens of luxury cars parked inside.

They also came down here.

Ji Cheng thus met Warren, who had been waiting nearby for a long time. Warren Buffett and another sixty-three-four-year-old white man in spirit.

"Dear Ji, I've finally got you."

Warren. Buffett smiled and came up and gave him a hug.

Ji Cheng also hugged him, "Warren, long time no see." ”

After separation, Warren. Warren Buffett couldn't wait to introduce: "Ji, this is the Marven you have been thinking about for a long time." ”

Ji Cheng was about to shake hands.

Marvin. Davis took the initiative to stretch out his hand and said with a smile: "Mr. Ji, I have been famous for a long time, and I am really honored to finally have the opportunity to meet you today." ”

People are so polite, Ji Cheng must not be rampant, he shook hands and said modestly: "I have long heard of Mr. Davis's amazing achievements in the oil field, and I heard that in recent years, you have gained more in the field of real estate investment and the entertainment industry, and I feel very lucky to meet you today." ”

The two exchanged a few words of greetings, and then under the matchmaking of Buffett, an acquaintance, Ji Cheng and Marven. Davis had just approached the resplendent mansion, and they were already chatting enthusiastically.

Sitting down on the soft sofa in the living room, a dozen servants immediately served different drinks, including red wine, coffee, and even hot tea and tea, as well as a row of high-end cigars and some delicate snacks.

"I don't know what you like to drink, so I asked the servants to prepare some, and I heard that you Chinese people like to drink tea, and I also specially got some Biluochun tea from a Chinese friend."

Marvin. Davis gave Ji Cheng enough face.

Ji Cheng doesn't drink much tea on weekdays, but everyone has done it, if he doesn't drink it, it's a little unreasonable, so he smiled and picked up the teacup and said: "Marven, thank you, I haven't drunk the tea in my hometown for a long time, and I really miss it a little." ”

Marvin. Davis was very happy that Ji Cheng chose to drink tea tea, and said with a very high mood: "If you like it, by the way, Ji, I heard that you signed a large trade contract with Xiong Guo?" ”

"Well, there's such a thing." Ji Cheng nodded and took a sip of tea.

Marvin. Davis took the initiative and said, "Is there oil or natural resources that need to be marketed?" I can help if I have one. ”

Warren Buffett interjected: "Marven has this ability." ”

Ji Cheng naturally knew what these two people meant, Marven. Davis' partner, Mark Brown. Richie is the king of commodities, whether it is oil, metals, rice, flour, grain and oil, or arms and equipment, as long as it can be sold for money, he can cooperate with it. Richie also has a wide range of clients, from politicians from all over the world to the underworld and terrorist business.

Mark. Rich is not only in the oil market, but also controls the world's largest metal trading market, so to speak, as long as you have the resources to find him, you are not afraid of not being able to sell and get money, and this guy has a very good reputation with customers, and will never reveal the slightest information about the seller and the buyer.

Ji Cheng recalled that he had signed cooperation agreements with small Asian countries such as Myanmar and Laos, including the development of many natural resources, although he was not afraid that he would not be able to sell these natural resources, but he had not established enough partners for the time being.

"Well, I happen to have some natural resources looking for a buyer, why don't we go back and sit down and talk?" Ji Cheng said and entered the topic, "I came to you today to discuss other things. ”

Marvin. As soon as Davis heard that there was something serious, he immediately sat down and said, "Please speak." ”

Buffett also looked at Ji Cheng very curiously, and wanted to know what happened to Ji Cheng, after all, now the young man from the East in front of him is famous in the beautiful country and even the world, everyone knows how good Ji Cheng is to make money, of course Buffett wants to see if he can get some information about making a lot of money.

Ji Cheng didn't know anything about the lake, and said bluntly: "I want you to buy United Airlines!" ”

Yes?

To Marven. Davis buys United?

How could anyone make such a request?

Warren Buffett was confused.

Marvin. Davis was stunned, "How do you know I want to buy United?" ”

Warren Buffett: "......"

Ji Cheng smiled and said, "I didn't know that you wanted to buy United Airlines, but I heard that you recently bought a lot of United Airlines shares in the stock market, so I thought about whether I could cooperate." ”

"If you have the money, I'd love to work with you." Marvin. Davis said meaningfully: "But I heard that your company seems to be a little short of funds recently, and it has been reduced to selling the equity of its subsidiaries. ”

"Then don't you want to know how much money I got from selling the equity of the subsidiary?" Ji Cheng didn't hide it at all, and didn't give the other party a chance to speak, and directly stretched out four fingers, "Four billion dollars!" ”

Marvin. Davis's face was happy, but then he frowned again, as if he was thinking about something.

Ji Cheng continued to cheer him up: "And there is one more thing you may not know, I have a good relationship with the Sumitomo chaebol and Mitsubishi chaebol over there in Xiaori, if you need to use a lot of funds, if I don't have enough here, I can also find Xiaori to borrow money for you, you also know how rich Xiaori is now, the acquisition of United Airlines is only a few billions, as long as you need it, I can make it up for you in a short time." ”

Well, that's pure nonsense.

It's not that Ji Cheng can't raise billions of dollars, with his current ability, let alone billions, even if he wants to raise tens of billions of dollars, he can do it.

The reason why it is is because Ji Cheng didn't want Marven to be at all. Davis completed this acquisition only to get him involved, because according to the course of history, once Marvin . Davis's failure to compete in the acquisition of United Airlines will cause a series of negative ripple effects, leading to a turmoil in the beautiful country's stock market.

Marvin. Davis could have made a successful acquisition of United, but definitely not now.

After the turmoil in the stock market of the beautiful country is over, if the other party really wants to buy United Airlines, Ji Cheng is willing to provide a lot of funds.

Warren Buffett also seems to be interested in this, and he ponders that since Ji Cheng wants to convince Marven. Davis' acquisition of United Airlines, does it mean that he is bullish on airline stocks? He thought about going back and researching it and then trying to invest in it.

Ji Cheng didn't expect that aviation stocks, which are known as one of the biggest stains in the history of Warren Buffett's investment, were actually because he wanted to persuade Marven. Davis's acquisition of United Airlines, if he knew, he would have cried and laughed, Nima, the current beautiful country's aviation stocks are a disaster, and the acquisition of the company is okay, after all, no matter how the major airlines still make money, but if you invest in stocks, I'm sorry, waiting to lose money.

Hearing the words, Marven. Davis was shocked and looked at Ji Cheng in disbelief, "You really have the ability to easily raise billions of dollars in acquisition funds for me?" ”

"Bridge loans are fine, but if it's a long-term loan, you have to discuss it." Ji Cheng didn't say anything to death.

"Just take out a bridge loan." Marvin. Davis showed a relieved expression, "To tell you the truth, I have already moved the idea of acquiring United Airlines, and the money has been prepared before, probably more than five billion dollars, but it is just ...... Ahem, I'm not afraid of being laughed at by you when I say it, I heard from the grapevine that the Rockefeller family was manipulating soybean futures and threw a lot of money into it, but you blew it up, and lost two billion at once, so I just stopped talking recently, thinking about waiting until the end of the year to get the dividends from my partner, and then continue to think about the acquisition. ”

it!

Is it really because of me?

Ji Cheng was wondering before, according to the historical process Marven. Davis should have made an offer, the time should have been yesterday, but he didn't see the other party move for a long time, so he took the initiative to find the door.

It turned out to be the butterfly effect.

He previously broke up the global soybean futures buyers in the futures market. Davis is one of them, and he lost two billion dollars?

No wonder!

No wonder the other party didn't make an offer to buy United!

Ji Cheng couldn't help but secretly rejoice, thanks to his initiative to find the door, otherwise this matter might cause trouble.

"It's no problem with a bridge loan, how much money you need, I'll prepare it for you right away." Ji Cheng said briskly.

Marvin. Davis didn't immediately say how much money he wanted, but asked, "What's the interest rate?" ”

Ji Cheng smiled and said: "Since I took the initiative to come to the door and want to cooperate with you, then I will definitely give you the lowest bridge loan interest rate, 6.5 percent, what do you think?" ”

Marvin. Davis was ecstatic, "Okay, thank you, Mr. Ji." ”

Ji Cheng asked again: "Then how much money do you need?" ”

Marvin. Davis pondered for a moment, as if calculating the acquisition funds, and after a while, he looked up and said, "Insurance, you can prepare two and a half billion dollars for me." ”

According to the information gathered from the modern society, Marvin. Davis' tender offer is $5.4 billion, while the syndicate loan program led by Chase and Citibank is $6.75 billion.

If you don't change the history of Ji Cheng, Marven. Davis didn't lose that $2 billion, and the purchase price he should have proposed was $5.4 billion, but now he asked for an extra $500 million with himself just in case. Davis is likely to make a maximum purchase price of $5.9 billion, which is $8.75 billion short of the $6.75 billion in syndicate loan programs led by Chase and Citibank.

That is, the acquisition will fail.

After Ji Cheng was sure that it would not affect his overall plan, he smiled and readily agreed: "Okay, I will prepare 2.5 billion US dollars for you to acquire funds, and in order to provide you with the best service, the effective date of the contract we signed can start from the day United Airlines agrees to be acquired, so that you can pay a lot less interest." ”

Marvin. Davis didn't know that Ji Cheng did this because all the funds on hand had to be invested in the stock market, and he thought it was really intimate service, he couldn't help but be moved, "Ji, thank you so much." ”

Ji Cheng smiled and said: "Don't thank me, who made us and Warren good friends, friends of friends are my friends, I have always been kind to friends." ”

Buffett's face turned rosy when he heard Ji Cheng give him face like this, and he said that Ji Cheng was really a friend.

Marvin. Davis was overjoyed, and said a few words of thanks to Ji Cheng, and at the end, he seemed to think of something, blinked his eyes and asked: "Ji, I can ask an extra question, although you knew from my previous purchase of United Airlines shares that I wanted to buy United Airlines, but why did you come all the way from New York to convince me to buy it?" Is it any benefit to you? ”

Buffett was also curious and looked towards Ji Cheng.

Ji Cheng had long known that he would definitely arouse suspicion if he came to the door like this, so he prepared his rhetoric, and said with a smile: "You should know that Huajin Capital has established many subsidiaries, among which in order to quickly establish a commercial bank, it also spent a huge amount of money to acquire the beautiful national savings bank, right?" ”

"Hmm."

"Know."

Marvin. Davis and Buffett both nodded in response to Ji Cheng's words.

Ji Cheng continued: "Although Huajin Bank accepted the customers of the Beautiful Savings Bank, the main service objects of the Beautiful Savings Bank were individuals, and there were some small and micro enterprises, and there was no real big customer, and it also did not have a record of attracting large customers, and now, if I can urge you to acquire United Airlines, a large-scale acquisition involving billions of dollars, it will inevitably make the Huajin Bank famous, and earning your interest is secondary, once the Huajin Bank has a reputation, When the time comes, I can attract countless big customers to my door, which is my main purpose. ”

"The main purpose?" Marvin. Davis was stunned for a moment.

Buffett also asked curiously: "Is there any other purpose?" ”

"Yes." Ji Cheng said very frankly: "A while ago, Huajin Capital bought a lot of United Airlines shares on the stock market, and this matter is very popular, I think you also know, I can tell you that at present, the number of United Airlines shares held by Huajin Capital in different units has reached one-third, well, maybe a little less, I want to use these stocks to make some money, of course, not to earn yours, but to earn those shareholders, so you should understand, right?" ”

Warren Buffett was later called the god of stocks, and his knowledge of the stock market was extremely high, so he naturally understood it as soon as he heard it, "What do you mean that if Marven announces the acquisition of United Airlines, it will inevitably make the stock price of United Airlines rise sharply, and you will take the opportunity to sell it at a high point?" ”

"Yes, in this way, I can also suppress the rise in the stock price and gain enough room for Marven to negotiate." Ji Chengdao.

Marvin. Davis nodded approvingly: "If I make an offer to United Airlines, it will inevitably make United's stock price rise sharply, and your dumping of United Airlines shares on the stock market will indeed play a certain role in preventing price increases, which will make my negotiations with United Airlines smoother." ”

"So, I make money, you buy the company you want, if I can get this acquisition, I can also earn a lot of interest, and make Huajin Bank famous, killing two birds with one stone."

Ji Cheng didn't say anything more, he believed that the two people in front of him who had been up and down in the business world for decades understood.

Although his real purpose is not like this, the early process is indeed like this, and no matter what he does, it will not harm Marven. Davis's interests will only benefit the other side.

Marvin. Davis originally wanted to buy United Airlines, but now that he heard someone helping, he didn't hesitate too much, and directly agreed, "Okay, then you can prepare $2.5 billion for me, and I will immediately contact United Airlines to discuss the acquisition." ”

Convincing!

Really convince Marven. Davis has acquired United Airlines!

Ji Cheng was overjoyed in his heart.

The most important part is completed, and then I have to make a fortune from the turmoil in the stock market of the beautiful country!

……

On the other side, Lawrence. Rockefeller had no idea that the so-called "accident" had been born.

He is still on the phone, trying to find out if the funds for shorting United Airlines and even the entire airline stock are fully funded.

"How's it going?"

"Lawrence, you're still not at ease with my errands? Funding is already in place. ”

"Well, this time I mortgaged five billion dollars from banks around the world to short aviation stocks, only success and failure, hehe, of course, someone has completed the preliminary work for us, there is no possibility of failure, okay, tomorrow we will immediately create unfavorable information about various aviation stocks, and then sell a large number of United Airlines and airline stocks on the stock market, so that the stock price will plummet, and then we will make a lot of money and leave the market, so that the quarter will be caught off guard."

"Haha, we picked the fruits of victory, and we want him to be locked up because of the United Airlines stock in his hand, he must be dumbfounded, right?"

Lawrence. Rockefeller couldn't help but laugh when he heard what little Stillman said on the other end of the phone, he was so happy that he could finally clean up Ji Cheng.

It's a pity that he doesn't know Marven. Davis, the butterfly, has unexpectedly flapped its wings, otherwise I am afraid I would not be able to laugh!
