With the strong announcement of Chase Bank, and the "old forces" of the Boston consortium led by Adams IV "lost" in the shareholder meeting vote.

It was as if Boston's First National Bank was about to have a new owner.

However, at this moment, Adams IV, Lodge Sr., and Aimee, who had lost the vote at the shareholders' meeting. Lowell and Robert. Lawrence was laughing.

Massachusetts, Breintree, Massachusetts, Adams Family Ancestral Estate,

Ji Cheng has been here for a while.

"Haha, Ji, you didn't see Willard. Carlisle. Butcher's smug look was on his face. "Robert. Lawrence quipped, "He really thought he had won." ”

The man he was talking about was the chairman of the board of directors of Chase Manhattan & Co.

Aimee. Lowell smiled and said: "When the shareholders' meeting voted to transfer Edward's shares, Chase Bank signed a share transfer agreement with Edward on the spot, and the transaction amount reached more than 9.79 billion US dollars. Rockefeller will make three payments, with the first installment paying $1 billion within two weeks of signing the contract, the second installment paying $3 billion within two months, and the third installment being settled within six months. ”

Old Rocky sighed: "It's a pity that I couldn't let him pay off the transaction amount of the equity transfer at one time." ”

Adams IV said with a smile: "The investment involved is nearly 9.8 billion US dollars, and it is only an acquisition of individual shares, not a business, and it is impossible for anyone to pay such a huge transaction amount at once." ”

As he spoke, he looked at Ji Cheng, who was sipping red wine without saying a word, "Ji, you said yes?" ”

Ji Cheng put down the red wine glass, smiled and said unhurriedly: "Well, Chase Bank installment payment is actually more advantageous for the implementation of our plan. ”

If Chase Bank chooses to pay off the transaction amount in one go, then it will be very anxious to borrow from banks in various countries, and now there is still about a week before Ji Cheng takes the initiative to detonate the stock market turmoil in the beautiful country, that is, on the bright side, the leveraged buyout and bond market of the beautiful country are no problem, Chase Bank, as the top commercial bank in the beautiful country, is behind the Rockefeller family, and the probability of borrowing huge amounts from banks in various countries is very high.

Once all the funds are borrowed, then even if the stock market turmoil and the Japanese stock market crash break out next, the Rockefeller family is only facing the problem of repaying the loan, not the two problems of funds and loan repayment.

As for installment payments, it's different.

The first issue was only a billion dollars if Ji Cheng was Lawrence. Rockefeller, it is very likely that without borrowing money from others, the company's liquidity will be transferred out to pay part of the acquisition money, although Chase Bank currently does not have much liquidity, after taking out a billion dollars, it needs to shrink clothes and diet, but on the surface, it will not hurt its vitality, gritted its teeth and can survive, and then the Rockefeller family will have enough time to slowly raise the second and third phases of the acquisition money that needs to be paid.

But is that really the case?

Answer: No!

Once Chase Bank takes out a billion dollars of liquidity, Ji Cheng will take the initiative to detonate the stock market turmoil, and at that time, Chase Bank will not only face the dilemma of not being able to borrow money, but also fall into a state of internal shortage of funds because of the previous use of liquidity to pay for the acquisition.

Naturally, installment payments are even more disadvantageous to Chase.

Of course, only Ji Cheng understands this, and people from the outside world don't know, at least from the current economic environment and the financial situation of Chase Bank, it is better to pay in installments.

"Speaking of which, this time I can make Chase Bank successfully fooled, Ji, thanks to your clever plan." Aimee. Lowell said sincerely: "Two days ago, when I heard that Joaquin Capital was going to buy a large number of shares of Boston First National Bank, my first reaction was funny, I felt that someone was spreading rumors, but the stock price soared in the next two days, and the outside world rumored that you took eight billion dollars and put it in the stock market account, as if you really wanted to buy a large number of shares of Boston First National Bank, I was beating a drum in my heart, and I wanted to call you to ask, but you still didn't answer the phone, at that time I thought that you were secretly rebelled by the Rockefeller family, and wanted to take the opportunity to obtain our equity." ”

Speaking of this, she paused, "I didn't expect that you were a dangerous move, and you scared Lawrence all of a sudden. Rockefeller had to buy shares from Edward at a high price, and he acted so beautifully! ”

Robert. Lawrence nodded approvingly and said: "Yes, although these are the more old-fashioned tricks of the financial market, you are not only not old-fashioned, but also have great results, and you are worthy of being the godfather of world finance!" ”

Ji Cheng said modestly: "Old-fashioned because of the classics, if it is not classic, how can it be used repeatedly, so as to be regarded as old-fashioned?" I just stood on the shoulders of giants and came up with a workable solution in combination with the current state of the environment. ”

"You Orientals are so modest." Adams IV said with a smile: "I have dealt with many Oriental people, but no one has given me the feeling of being as amazing as you, whether you are in the financial industry, or in terms of dealing with the world, you are not like the people of this era, as if, you are from the future, insight into all the development and changes, we in the West call people like you prophets, Ji, I dare not say in other aspects, but in the financial industry, you are the real prophet." ”

A prophet is a human being who has studied and understood all things in the universe, human society, and natural science in the religious belief and secular world earlier, or has accurately predicted it.

Of course, Adams IV did not say that Ji Cheng was the spokesman of God, which probably meant that Ji Cheng could almost be a god in the financial industry.

Ji Cheng really didn't expect Adams IV to have such a high opinion of himself, and he spoke a few words of modesty.

The crowd chatted for a while.

It was almost noon, when Adams IV suddenly said, "Ji, in the future, when it is inconvenient for Edward to appear, you will be in charge of the overall situation for him." ”

Aimee. Lowell, who had been singing against Ji Cheng before, also smiled at this moment and said: "Yes, don't you Huaxia have a saying like this, a country cannot be without a king for a day, although our Boston consortium is not a country, but we can't do without a navigator, we are a few years old, this kind of heavy responsibility is powerless, and Edward is inconvenient, and the consortium will rely on you to lead it in the future." ”

Robert. Lawrence also said, "Ji, let it go." ”

Old Rocky's family wants to marry Ji Cheng in the future, and the other three have agreed, so it is naturally impossible for him to have any different opinions.

Is this a transfer of power to yourself?

Although it was only because Edward was not there to be handed over to him for the time being, Ji Cheng's heart was still beating wildly, how could he not know how strong the Boston consortium was? This is a super consortium with the power of a beautiful country!

Thinking of everyone handing over the heavy responsibility of temporary navigator to himself, Ji Cheng was full of pride in addition to feeling a heavy burden on his shoulders, and he responded to everyone sonorously and forcefully, "I will definitely not disappoint your trust in me!" ”

Everyone couldn't help but laugh when they saw his high-spirited appearance.

As they laughed, they made eye contact with each other.

In other words, they had talked privately before Ji Cheng came today.

If Ji Cheng leads the Boston Consortium well and leads it to a new height during Edward's absence, then, when the incident is over, they can retire successfully, let Ji Cheng take power on the one hand, and gradually promote the capable young people in the family on the other hand, and learn from Ji Cheng.

Yes, the heads of the Boston consortium have made a decision, as long as Ji Cheng shows enough ability, he will be at the helm of the consortium!

……

In the evening.

Ji Cheng, who returned to Manhattan, was in high spirits.

He let Steve the first time. White went to inquire if Chase was in contact with other banks, and he began to wonder which instant messaging software he had plagiarized from modern society.

A tavern next to Central Park.

Ji Cheng, Tom and Derek came here to drink again.

"Tom, if you could have an instant messaging email, what would you like to do?"

Ji Cheng asked while drinking.

Tom shrugged and said, "I don't even know much about email, so it's really useless for you to ask me." ”

Derek shook his head with a smile.

Tom caught a glimpse and rolled his eyes and said, "Do you know this?" ”

Derek spread his hands helplessly, saying that he didn't quite understand it either.

Ji Cheng saw that these two people didn't understand, so he could only think about it himself.

According to the development process of modern society, the top five rankings of instant messaging tools used by users in beautiful countries are Facebook, Feixin, Serab, and e.

As for the originator of the buckle, ICQ is not unpopular in the beautiful country, I think it had more than 10 million customers before it was acquired by the beautiful country online, but later the beautiful country online began to die after buying the next ICQ, inserting advertisements into it, built-in search functions, etc., making the software bloated, resulting in a sharp decline in the number of users, and finally falling off the altar step by step.

Ji Cheng understands one thing, that is, if he makes instant messaging software in the beautiful country of the current era, he will definitely be able to take the advantage of being the first to eat crabs, but how to operate in the future is very important in this regard, because once the direction is wrong, it is very likely to follow in the footsteps of ICQ.

I'm thinking about it.

Suddenly, a familiar voice sounded in my ears, "Wow, Mr. Ji, you came over for a drink so early?" ”

Ji Cheng looked over and saw standing next to his booth Perry, who had seen one of the six young men and women yesterday, was the god who used e-mail to pick up girls in the 1989 era.

"Hey, man, it's you." Ji Chengting likes to communicate with young people, which will inspire him, he blinked and said, "Are you drinking with your friends again?" ”

Perry was a little familiar, he didn't see Tom and Derek's defensive eyes at all, he took the initiative to sit next to Ji Cheng, and even stretched out his hand to wrap his arms around Ji Cheng's neck, "They won't come today, I'll have nothing to do after work, come over and take two sips to see if I can get a girl, Ji, do you want to be together?" I'm sure I can take you to the girl. ”

This guy is full of wanting to pick up girls, Ji Cheng is not disgusted at all, after all, the other party is young and vigorous, and it is a normal thing to think about women, he politely refused: "I have something to do later." ”

"Okay." Perry smacked his lips, "Then I'll treat you to a drink, and when you invited us to drink yesterday, you don't think I'm sorry for the wine." ”

Ji Cheng didn't expect this guy to be quite on the road, and said with a smile: "No, just drink wine, don't order expensive beer." ”

"Okay." Perry turned and snapped his finger and said to the bartender, "Abigail, serve us four beers." ”

The bartender seemed to know Perry well, "Busy, you come to the bar to get the drink yourself." ”

"I'll come when I go."

Perry threw down a sentence and ran to get the wine.

As soon as the people left, Tom became vigilant, "Mr. Cheng, could this guy be someone sent by another consortium to approach you?" ”

Ji Cheng couldn't help but laugh and said, "Brother, you have persecution paranoia, right?" ”

Derek also teased: "If it wasn't for Mr. Cheng's initiative to invite him yesterday, he wouldn't have known this person at all, how could it be that another consortium sent him to approach him?" ”

Tom smirked, "Career instincts. ”

Ji Cheng knew that he was responsible for doing things, and he didn't care too much about this.

After a short conversation, Perry came over with four large glasses of beer and fried chicken, "The fried chicken in this tavern is very delicious, you can try it." ”

"Okay."

Ji Cheng picked up the fried chicken casually and bit it, not to mention, it tasted really good.

Tom was still doing his job dutifully, and he asked casually, "Perry, what are you doing to get off work so early?" ”

"I just graduated from university and am temporarily working as a professor assistant in the College of Computer Science and Technology at a public university." Perry grinned, "Hey, public universities aren't busy, I have a lot of free time every day." ”

A professor's assistant is not a teaching assistant, a teaching assistant is an assistant professor, and a professor's assistant is simply an assistant who assists the professor in his work, and there is an essential difference between the two.

Although the other party is just an assistant, in the current era, even people who understand computer science and technology are relatively scarce, Ji Cheng said with interest: "Oh? Which public university? ”

"New York Public University." Perry smacked his lips and said, "This job is not cool at all, I really want to start a business like Bill Gates, but unfortunately I don't have such rich parents like him, and I don't have start-up capital at all." ”

Ji Cheng blinked and said, "Entrepreneurship? What product do you want to make? ”

"At first, I wanted to do e-mail, but after listening to you yesterday about instant messaging software, I wondered if I could develop such a product." Perry said with great interest: "If there really is such a software, how many high-quality girls can I get in it." ”

Tom and Derek couldn't stop laughing, and said that you have women in your head all day long.

Ji Cheng didn't expect that he inadvertently mentioned a sentence, which actually made Perry move the idea of developing instant messaging software, although he can directly plagiarize from modern society, but who knows if Perry will develop instant messaging software that is more popular with beautiful Chinese people?

There are many cases where giants have been sunk by small companies that they used to look down on.

For example, Yahoo, thinking that the market value exceeded 100 billion US dollars at the beginning, at that time, the two founders of Google wanted to sell the company to Yahoo for one million dollars, but Yahoo couldn't look down on it and refused directly.

It's not terrible for someone to work in the same industry, but it's terrible that the concept of instant messaging doesn't exist in the current era, and Perry was inspired by Ji Cheng to think about doing it, and if he really makes a result, it will definitely bring trouble to Ji Cheng, even if he wants to buy it, it will cost a lot of money.

Ji Cheng knew how to solve this problem with a little brain, "Perry, if you are really interested in developing instant messaging software, I can invest some, provided that you come up with certain results." ”

Perry's eyes lit up and asked, "Mr. Ji, are you rich?" Are you a millionaire? ”

Ji Cheng smiled and said, "Yes, I'm a millionaire." ”

Derek and Tom were silent, millionaires? Billionaires are not enough to describe Ji Cheng's wealth! However, they knew that it was impossible for everyone to know Ji Cheng, and it was normal for Perry not to know.

"Wow, millionaire?" Perry's eyes were full of admiration, and he said excitedly: "I will definitely make the software for you as soon as possible, and you only need to invest me 300,000 US dollars when the time comes...... No, $200,000 and I'll be sure to give you a rich return! ”

Ji Cheng laughed and said, "Okay, I'm optimistic that you can make achievements." ”

The four of them sat there and talked for a while.

In the end, Ji Cheng left a phone call for Perry before leaving, and now he hasn't taken out a penny, if the other party really develops instant messaging software and reinvests it, it's not too late, if it can't be developed, there will definitely be no investment, anyway, Ji Cheng won't lose money.

It was about half past seven in the evening when I walked out of the tavern.

Ji Cheng, Derek, and Tom are preparing to wander home.

Suddenly, the phone rang.

Ji Cheng answered casually, "Hi, I'm Ji Cheng." ”

There was a call from Steve. White's voice, "Mr. Cheng, I have received reliable information that Chase Bank has approached several banks to negotiate, and it is said that the loan amount is as high as nine billion dollars. ”

"Nine billion?" Ji Cheng asked rhetorically, "I remember that Chase Bank owed $9 billion before, and then I borrowed $7 billion from that bank in the UK to buy the shares of First National Bank in Boston in the hands of others to increase its holdings to about 40 percent, and now I want to borrow 9 billion, wouldn't that add up to 25 billion in debt?" ”

"Not only that, Chase already has billions of dollars in debt, and if this $9 billion loan is successful, Chase will have at least $30 billion in debt." Steve. White said.

The odds of success for the nine billion dollars are unlikely.

Ji Cheng knew that after he detonated the stock market turmoil in the beautiful country next, those banks would definitely not lend money to Chase Bank, but at present, Chase Bank has a debt of 21 billion, and once he can't borrow money next, he will definitely fall into financial difficulties.

"Well, any other news?" Ji Cheng asked while thinking.

Steve. "There's also news that Chase Bank has raised a billion dollars internally, which is said to be used to pay for the first tranche of the purchase of 10 percent of Edward's shares, and if nothing else, the billion dollars have already entered Mr. Edward's account," White said. ”

Yes?

Chase Bank is so fast?

Ji Cheng knew what was going on after thinking about it carefully, I'm afraid it was Lawrence. Rockefeller was afraid of long nights and dreams, and wanted to deliver the first purchase money as soon as possible and completely fulfill the acquisition contract, so he was in such a hurry to remit the money to Edward's account.

Hey!

That's great news!

Ji Cheng blinked his eyes, and said in his heart that Chase Bank should not have much liquidity, and once there are financial difficulties in the future, it will definitely be anxious, and more importantly, Chase Bank is now in debt, and if there is a follow-up financial problem, it will not be able to borrow money, which is undoubtedly digging its own grave.
