Chapter 868 You Will Soon Increase Your Bank's Shareholding
Wakatou of the Otomo group, the gold medalist Mizuno, scratched his head and looked at the radio director.
Some couldn't understand and asked Otomo, "Father, is this guy crazy?"
Dayou, who had a face full of flesh, shook his head expressionlessly.
To be honest, he couldn't understand it either.
It was Kimura who was smarter and thought about it for a while, then said in a low voice, "Father, for the 'Golden Camera' award, you, the team leader, should issue a certificate of appreciation to us little brothers.
And invited us to a family banquet, and poured wine for us in person, almost meaning. "
Otomo and Mizuno touched their chins and nodded in understanding.
Afterwards, Otomo, Kimura and Mizuno, very friendly, accompanied the excited supervisor, and walked into the studio smoothly and quietly.
While playing the song request, use gestures to let the announcer come out.
Because there was not much commotion, the announcer was just surprised. Seeing the supervisor come in with a big envelope, he hurriedly took off his earphones, bowed and left the studio with some confusion.
Soon, people in big cities such as Tokyo, Osaka, Nagoya, Kobe, and surrounding small and medium-sized cities will listen to the night radio.
Shocked, puzzled, or sit up from the bed.
Or pick up the radio and listen to the sound in your ears carefully and anxiously.
Now, the ruling party of the island country should not talk about suppressing the matter, or negotiating and exchanging interests with the opposition party.
As long as the opposition party is not stupid, they will never dare to make compromises lightly, and even have to wait until the situation becomes clear when they meet with the ruling party.
That night, countless politicians in the island nation were either anxious, anticipating or excited, and did not feel sleepy at all.
As for the island capital, the aristocratic family was discussing in panic how to deal with the stock market early tomorrow morning, and how to deal with the next accusations and even sanctions from the Americans.
Li Changheng was around 4 pm in London time, after learning about the broadcast.
Dissatisfied at first, but laughed again within a few seconds.
Noda Koji's ability in the financial field is not small, but other aspects are immature, and he can even be said to be a rookie.
Giving him the task of spreading rumors was a bit ill-considered.
As for the Yakuza of the Dayu Group, fighting and killing is their main business.
If you can think of using broadcasting, you already have a brain, and you have done a good job.
After thinking about it, Li Changheng beckoned Taylor and his lawyer and accountant, "Repay the 500 million U.S. dollars I owe UBS as soon as possible.
Take back the right to buy and sell the island country's $600 million real estate. "
"SIR, it is difficult to get all of them back in a short time."
Taylor carefully reminded, "If you want to get back part of the real estate worth about 100 million U.S. dollars, it should be done within an hour and a half."
Li Changheng thought for a moment, then looked at his lawyer and accountant supervisor.
Seeing the two contemplating for a moment, nodding their heads one after another, they waved their hands and said, "As soon as possible."
As time passed, Citigroup employees came from the VIP room of the exchange from time to time, reporting news about the New York Stock Exchange and the Chicago futures market.
Things were progressing fairly well, so Li Changheng didn't intend to intervene, and simply leaned on the sofa and closed his eyes to rest.
More than an hour later, "SIR, 4 buildings have been redeemed, leaving 8 buildings and 31 large areas of land, and we have to wait until Citigroup actually takes over all the oil stored in the United States in your hands.
Only after getting cash. "
Li Changheng nodded indifferently, since he didn't really intend to sell the real estate in the island country anyway.
It's just an artificial price reduction first, to create the illusion that there are already real estate owners and they have to sell the property.
As for the idea of taking the opportunity to sell the 600 million property, and then buy it back after the property price really drops, even Li Changheng wants to do it.
But under the current circumstances, it will definitely not be sold at a good price.
On the contrary, we have to guard against the possibility that those investment institutions with precise vision and good at finding opportunities in crises will not sell them after buying them.
Picking up the phone to call the island country, he smiled and said to Taylor, "I handed over all the crude oil in my hand to Citigroup for the next six months, or even one or two years.
The number of customers who open new accounts at Citigroup should exceed the 500,000 I promised at the beginning, right? "
Taylor chuckled, "Don't say 500,000, look at the situation, 1 million is fine.
And BOSS, you should have been bolder in the first place to agree to the request of Citi shareholders to attract a million new customers.
Maybe we can increase our holdings from 2.5% to 3%. "
Li Changheng smiled and shook his head, not caring about it.
When I first invested in Citigroup, there was an agreement that every time Citigroup's market value increased by 8 billion, I could buy 2.5% of the shares at the market price.
Until you buy 15%.
Adding in the 17% purchased at the time of investment, the total number of shares reached 32%, and the plan to increase holdings was temporarily suspended.
If you want to increase your holdings again, you have to lead Citigroup, which has a market value of 56 billion US dollars, after exceeding 100 billion US dollars.
In order to surpass 33.4% in one fell swoop, the critical point with one veto power.
2.5% of 16 billion is 400 million US dollars, and 3% is 480 million US dollars.
When it comes to 24 billion US dollars, it is 600 million and 720 million US dollars respectively.
When it reaches 56 billion, it is 1.48 billion and 1.6 billion US dollars.
To be honest, the financial pressure is really great, and the more money you need to spend later.
Fortunately, if it is calculated on a 3-year basis, the time may span 18 years.
So 2.5% and 3%, for Li Changheng, the difference is not big, but the pressure is even smaller.
It took almost a minute for the phone to connect, and Li Changheng waved to Taylor, the lawyer, and the accountant supervisor.
After the 3 people left, he ordered Koji Noda, who had been staying in the office and keeping an eye on the situation in the island country, to continue spreading the news that the real estate in the island country would plummet.
Tomorrow morning, we will release the news that the 4 buildings that have been redeemed will be reduced by 5% to find a buyer.
Then he praised Koji Noda and the Otomo group verbally, and hung up the phone amidst Koji Noda's excited thanks.
At 7:30 in the evening, the New York Stock Exchange and the Chicago futures market were closed at the same time. It took half an hour to listen to reports from Citigroup in the conference room of the VIP hall.
After confirming that everything is normal, and even the market's unexpectedly low view of the island country's economy, Li Changheng said to the more than 20 employees in front of him with satisfaction.
"Gentlemen, after this operation is over, I guarantee that the commission paid by Citigroup to each of you will not be less than US$500,000.
And whether you can increase your value, raise your salary, and become a gold medal trader and professional manager on Wall Street, it depends on your next performance. "
There was a loud cheer in the conference room.
People who are calmer, have a little calculation.
In addition to the 100 million US dollars that Li Changheng spent on copper futures and semiconductor silicon materials before the oil crisis, this action took the first step.
After that, I didn't use my own funds, which means that all the money I earned went to Citigroup.
More than 20 people, each with at least 500,000 US dollars, with a minimum commission rate of 3% and a maximum commission rate of 8%.
Add in additional bonuses for managers, supervisors, and the cost of the security team to roughly calculate.
Citigroup probably has to pay about 15 million to 20 million US dollars, but Citigroup can make a net profit of 300 million US dollars.
It is equivalent to an action that takes less than a month, and it is worth Citigroup's net profit for the past year.
The employees and executives who have figured this out, look at Li Changheng, apart from admiration, there is also fanaticism and a trace of fear.
