Chapter 719 It's Nothing But An Idea To Make Money
No one can decide on the sale of large shares at once, but Li Changheng's plan is a matter of keeping Morgan secret.
Everyone present didn't have to think about it. Not only did they agree with his ideas, but they also felt that attracting him would not only strengthen Citigroup's strength, but also fight against Morgan's pressure on Citigroup in the financial field.
The few people who stabilized their minds came to the side again to discuss for a while.
Only then did Taylor, a related account, come forward and say, "Henry, in theory, you can indeed get 17% of the shares under the conditions you offered, but don't forget that Citigroup is also the major shareholder of the Federal Reserve Bank of the United States.
If you want to get 17% of the shares, you have to have no objection from the club.
And we all know that although you have risen, what you lack is your background.
And Citigroup, whose most of its business is in the banking, insurance and military industries, can give you enough sense of security and status.
And as long as you have our support, you can easily become a new member of the most powerful family in the United States.
Therefore, including the profit of 100 million US dollars, and the commitment to Xerox Group and OEM companies, the premium is only about 40%.
Those of us who welcome today are willing to have you join us.
But after all, it involves 17% of the shares, which makes you the largest shareholder at once, and other shareholders may not be willing. "
Of course, Li Changheng knew that it was not that easy to get so many shares, but the trump card and hole card of oil has not yet been revealed, so there is no need to worry.
But it is still necessary to give some confidence to shareholders who support themselves, and those who are hesitant because of large stakes.
After thinking for a moment, I said, "If I have a way, I can raise at least 500,000 for Citigroup in a short period of time, credit card and savings users across the United States.
Will the obstacles that prevent me from entering the board of directors and becoming the first shareholder disappear? "
"this,,,."
The first thought in the minds of Taylor and others was that this is impossible.
But when it came to the mouth, it was like being choked, unable to speak.
After all, it was Henry Lee who said this, so he is not absolutely sure, so don't rush to deny it, lest you get slapped in the face and it would be embarrassing.
Moreover, a few people thought about it for a while, and felt that this condition really hit the weakness of the shareholders.
As long as they are depositors and credit card users of Citigroup, whether it is insurance, loans, or commercial investment such as stocks, customers are most likely to choose Citigroup.
And there are only so many users in the entire United States, and if Citigroup snatches it away, it means that other banks have fewer customers.
This is double the income of one in and one out.
Li Changheng will also be remembered by other banks for helping Citigroup grab customers, and in the end he can only serve Citigroup wholeheartedly.
Otherwise, if you want to please both parties, or please many parties, the result will be that no one will take him seriously, and you will offend Citigroup again.
Thinking about it this way, Taylor and the others were really moved.
However, capitalists, it is their nature to be insatiable.
"500,000 is too little, Henry, and customers are divided into grades, and those with below-middle income basically don't generate much profit for us.
So I think at least one million, and this condition has to be written into the contract. "
Li Changheng will definitely not be easily grasped by Taylor and others. After all, many people hate being forced to choose.
The figure of 500,000 is almost the dividing line that he feels confident about.
If the promise of 1 million fails to be fulfilled in the end, Citigroup will not be polite to itself, and will definitely follow the breach of contract written in the contract.
"I have a few small businesses here that I don't want to do, but have an annual income of at least 3 to 5 million US dollars, and a market value of 30 million to 100 million."
Everyone doubted for half a second when they heard this, and knew that Li Changheng couldn't have lied to them about this matter.
Moreover, a company with a market value of 30 million to 100 million is a small business for him, but it is definitely a good project for most Citi shareholders.
Even Boyin, a future giant company, let alone 100 million, they don't want to give up, let alone 10 million, let alone let it go.
Without the consent of other shareholders, Taylor directly assured, "Henry, as long as what you said is true, I guarantee that Boyin will at least win over 20% of shareholders to support you.
But we need a project with a market value of more than 100 million yuan and an annual profit of more than 5 million yuan. "
FK, the other four saw that Taylor agreed alone without even thinking about it, and they immediately cursed in their hearts.
But Taylor said that Boyin could attract 20% of the shareholders, and he was not talking nonsense.
As the largest company in the Citigroup camp, its products include dozens of civil and military aircraft projects, and even an enterprise that can develop and install intercontinental guide eggs.
Boyin's influence in Citigroup is often greater than that of banks, insurance companies and other companies.
The reason is very simple. Whether it is a large civilian aircraft or a military project, once an order is received, it is often hundreds of millions or billions of dollars.
In the banking and insurance business these days, it is really difficult to reach a scale of hundreds of millions of dollars by relying on fees of a few thousandths or ten thousandths to create profits.
Moreover, Citigroup does not fully hold 51% of Boyin. If the interests of all shareholders of Boyin are affected, Citigroup will definitely be slapped in the face.
As for other shareholders, to put it bluntly, Citigroup is not the only industry for everyone.
As long as Li Changheng's conditions are spread.
Those family shareholders will immediately fall to him.
Then I thought to myself, since Li Changheng can not only make a lot of money by himself, but also lead everyone to make money together, then running Citigroup will definitely not be too difficult.
Make a fortune first, then make a fortune with Citigroup, and finally make another fortune when the market value rises.
Anyone can figure this out with a little thought.
Therefore, without Li Changheng saying anything, after getting his guarantee, the five Taylors immediately found separate telephones to call the shareholders in the same interest group.
Li Changheng easily won the support of more than 55% of shareholders.
And this is not counting those minority shareholders whose shareholdings do not exceed 1%.
Of course, this group of people is not eligible to join the board of directors. Since they have no voting rights, they must not have their share of off-site interests.
Li Changheng will not foolishly try to win over these shareholders when he still has a choice.
Once he becomes the largest shareholder in the future, many times these shareholders outside the board of directors are synonymous with trouble.
After Taylor and others called out, it was between 8 o'clock and 9 o'clock in the evening.
There were 14 large and small shareholders in New York successively.
As soon as this group of people arrived, only Li Changheng was left in their eyes.
Looking at Li Changheng surrounded by a group of regulars who are regarded as high society in New York.
While the guests present were surprised, they soon became excited again.
Being able to rush over in a hurry means that Henry Lee's conditions have already conquered at least half of Citigroup shareholders.
Moreover, there were so many supporters in the first negotiation, which basically meant that only the lawyers were left to intervene, discuss the details and sign the contract.
