Chapter 720

Li Changheng was a little happy and excited that the shares of a big crocodile company in the financial field like Citigroup did not pay for the shares of Intel and could be settled with only money.

Of course, it may be that Intel's sales on calculators seem to have reached 4 floors in the market, but the profit has been declining.

The shareholders of Citigroup are becoming less and less optimistic about Intel, which has a valuation of 2.8 billion but whose prospects are unknown.

Swapping shares with Intel at this time, probably in the eyes of many Citigroup shareholders, is a money-losing business.

But for Li Changheng, although 1 billion in cash plus a series of promises seems uneconomical.

But only relying on more than one billion US dollars, in exchange for 17% of Citigroup shares with a market value of over one trillion US dollars in the future peak period.

That is, the book wealth of 170 billion U.S. dollars is already a huge advantage.

Of course, more than one billion US dollars at this time is also a huge fortune.

But if you keep the money in your hands, if you don’t invest it, it will depreciate every year, not to mention that not any company can take over more than one billion US dollars.

Moreover, becoming a major shareholder of Citigroup means that he can truly integrate into the top of the United States.

In the future, although we will continue to be cautious as always, but looking at the history of the United States for one or two hundred years, we will know that it has reached a certain level, as long as it is not treason or the like, no matter what happened, there is nothing to talk about.

At least, no one will treat him like a fat sheep in the future.

As for the competition and conflicts with other consortiums, if you take a step back, even if you lose, it will be a big deal to learn from these consortiums.

You have me I have you.

Even if you are forced out of the board of directors, at worst, you can be a shareholder with peace of mind.

Besides, in the next few decades, there are really not too few opportunities for a comeback.

At 10 o'clock in the evening, Dao Feng walked up to Li Changheng who had been talking to the shareholders, covered his lips with his hands and whispered, "Boss, it's already 10 o'clock in the evening."

Li Changheng, who was talking about automated farming tractors, was taken aback for a while, just talking nonsense with the boss of the crawler tractor, and others were smiling and listening casually.

Then he smiled and shook his head. At this critical moment of getting closer to the shareholders, he couldn't leave even if he wanted to.

"Call me and tell Annie, I will definitely have to go back late tonight."

Dao Feng didn't think there was anything wrong with Li Changheng, after all, the business was important.

However, because of Annie's original kindness, this guy's heart is indeed more toward Annie.

"Boss, how about I put the helicopter crew on standby?"

Li Changheng shook his head directly. If it is not necessary, flying a helicopter at night is definitely not a good choice.

Then as the chat continued, the more Citigroup shareholders listened, the more they felt that whether the automatic harvester was a fantasy product or not, no one could be sure.

However, many of the people present found that the future of computers may really be as Li Changheng said, more and more miniaturization and civilian use.

Rather than the products of computer giants such as IBM, because the price is too expensive and the functions are too few, only large enterprises or research institutions will buy them.

Thinking that if a computer will be like a mechanical typewriter, it will not only replace the typewriter, but also become a must-have product for every office.

It will also enter every household. In the United States alone, there are at least 30 million units in the country, and there is a huge market with prices ranging from hundreds to thousands of dollars.

The shareholders' hearts suddenly became excited.

If it weren't for the fact that some people thought of Intel's second product, which is the chip, most people would think that Li Changheng was exaggerating the market to save Intel, which is getting less and less profitable.

Maybe someone will be eyeing Intel again.

After 11 o'clock in the evening, we chatted continuously for almost 2 hours, and the chat was about the same.

If it needs to be kept secret, Li Changheng is not in the mood to continue.

Therefore, some old guys who are too old and unable to do what they want don't plan to stay anymore.

The reception really entered the carnival stage.

Li Changheng and the shareholders who didn't plan to leave immediately sent off a few old guys and planned to leave, but they didn't expect to be dragged by some unconvinced shareholders and started talking about horse racing.

In aristocratic sports, probably the horse racing culture, can make Americans have full confidence, whether it is a formal game or the entire industry, they can despise England, where modern horse racing originated.

And he, Li Changheng, besides his status in the United States, is also a hereditary viscount of England, and he has achieved higher achievements than everyone on the scene at a young age.

Therefore, several shareholders of Citigroup in their 30s and 40s knew that Li Changheng bought 5 thoroughbred horses for Annie to practice dressage.

Unexpectedly, he didn't raise a racehorse, so he immediately found an entry point to attack him.

Li Changheng didn't think it was a big deal before. After all, apart from Annie's family and a limited number of a dozen or so nobles, he basically had no contact with the wealthy class.

But now that they want to integrate into the upper class of the United States, some expenses for supporting the appearance really need to be paid attention to.

However, sometimes, he is not a big-hearted person.

Not only did the topic change from horse racing to yachts, private jets, farms, the Giants football team and a budget of 50 million, but the actual cost was more than 60 million US dollars, and the new stadium was almost built.

He also described Phuket Island and Phi Phi Island as his own private islands, and the cost of buying land on the island has also changed from 20 million to 50 million US dollars.

The island, the stadium and the $12 million spent on the Giants totaled more than $122 million.

It was higher than the net worth of many of the shareholders at the scene, and the shareholders who wanted to embarrass themselves in front of him suddenly lost their temper.

Then he became the target, or prey, of all the women in the audience.

It's okay to say hello normally, or when you shake hands with your fingers and tickle his palm.

Even those who pretended to be drunk and leaned on him were not troublesome.

After tactfully rejecting seven or eight women one after another, Li Changheng didn't pay attention a little bit. One was around 30, with a charming face and a good figure that exploded.

A pair of headlights are tall and big, and a beautiful woman exuding hormones all over her body.

More than one meter away, he staggered, and the champagne in the glass in his hand was poured towards him.

Needless to say, this woman might be thinking that if she could take the opportunity of apologizing and hook up with him while he was changing his clothes, then she would make a lot of money.

If he didn't succeed, he could destroy his relationship with Annie because of the change of dress.

Thinking of this instantly in his mind, how could Li Changheng, who had been thinking of the worst in his mind, reach out to help this woman.

He took three steps back, turned his body sideways to easily avoid the pouring champagne, and then watched helplessly as the opponent fell to the ground.

But, to be honest, when this woman fell, she was 5 times more physically fit than ordinary people, and her gaze was like Li Changheng in slow motion.

Seeing a pair of white and tender headlights dangling back and forth, I was really moved for a few seconds.

After a while of flying around, Li Changheng smiled and said to Taylor and the others, "If there is nothing else, let's make another appointment."
