Chapter 1860: Black Box Operation (Part 1)

Morakot didn't hesitate, found an excuse, and ran to John Thain's office.

John, who hasn't had a good night's sleep since he took office, frowned when he saw his son, who usually only knew he was doing nothing, running towards him, and didn't give him a good look.

But when Morakot, like a thief, said that he met Xiao Qi today and sold him three high-quality assets under Merrill Lynch, Thain's expression kept changing.

Seeing that his father didn't get angry, Morakot knew that he was also tempted, and quickly smiled shyly: "Dad, do you think Xiao Qi is asking me to go up tonight, or calling you? This guy is really, he doesn't talk at all. clear."

"Nonsense, only an idiot like you can hear it wrong." Thain scolded his son: "He said that you have never met, so why should he invite you to discuss business? And you think you are qualified to drink champagne with Xiao Qi ? Do you think too highly of yourself?"

Being belittled by his father, Morakot didn't feel angry at all, because as long as Sain was willing to talk, it proved that he had listened to him.

"Father, look at Merrill's poor appearance. Even if he can be saved, there is nothing to gain. If you don't think about me, you should also think about your retirement life?" Morakot said, "Xiao Qi has always been generous in his actions. Any company, enough money for middlemen. If you play a role this time, then I believe you will charge more than me, at least a suitcase."

While speaking, Morakot took out the large envelope in his pocket and handed it to Thain.

Thain looked at the bearer bonds inside, nodded, and returned them to his son.

Morakot put the big envelope back into his arms, and said encouragingly, "It's worth 500,000 yuan. I just gave him a message, and I got so much. Dad, think about it! If such a big deal is made .Can we get hundreds of millions of dollars in kickbacks?"

"Hundreds of millions?" Thain laughed dumbly, "Hundreds of millions of your head! Xiao Qi wants to buy the shares of these companies, but it's useless just to get through my relationship. He still has a lot of things to do in public relations, and the cost is too much! If we can get it in our hands, it can have 30 million US dollars, which is very good!"

"It's only 30 million?" Morakot was a little disappointed.

"Don't think this is missing." Thain looked at his son. I added a few more words: "Now that the company is in turmoil, it is already a lucky thing to have this money in the pocket. You know, a bankrupt company's severance pay for high-level executives is subject to the supervision of the Federal Court Yes, much less than this!"

"But what if we help Xiao Qi lower the price?" Morakot doesn't understand at all, "For example, the shares of Bloomberg News and the shares of Black Rock Group have a certain amount of bargaining?"

"Well, if that's the case, there should be more." Thain said lightly: "But I can't say how much I can do, I can only see when the time comes. You have to remember, there will be such things in the future , you must be cautious, making money is not the most important thing, the most important thing is not to put yourself in it!"

"I know." Morakot smiled and said, "Father, do you think I'm still so naive? Didn't I also abandon Sam this time and meet Xiao Qi quietly?"

"If you hadn't done that, I wouldn't have told you so much today." Thain nodded in relief, with a hint of appreciation for his son in his heart. I think I can train him in the future.

"Today I will go home first, and then you will drive me there." Thain couldn't help but exhort: "You must not tell others that whether you succeed or fail, this matter will rot in your stomach! Otherwise Even if the matter is leaked, Xiao Qi doesn't know if there is anything wrong, but we will definitely go to jail. Do you understand?"

"I see."

Morakot excitedly and solemnly promised.

"One more thing, if things leak out..." Thain continued: "You must remember that you don't know anything! Everything has nothing to do with you."

"Father..." Morakot couldn't help but said, "Wouldn't it be that dangerous?"

"Whether it's dangerous or not, you have to remember this anyway!" Thain smiled and looked at his son and said, "You're still young. You can't fall here."

"Ok!"

Morakot looked at Thain, his eyes full of reverence and gratitude to his father.

...

The most prosperous area in New York is Manhattan. This narrow island corridor is densely crowded with countless world-class companies. Therefore, many apartments here are also prepared for executives of these companies, and many of them are very expensive.

The small-sized house of this high-end apartment that Taylor rented before had already been bought by her with dividends from her own records.

It's just that as she is pregnant with Xiao Qi's baby, it will not be suitable to live in this small house in the future, so she is temporarily free, and she is preparing to be a sister when Austin grows up. A small apartment for him.

The bodyguards stayed by the side, chatting in low voices, most of them were news from their visit to New York.

Different from the bodyguards who came last time, this time they have changed a group. After all, there are not many opportunities to go abroad for Chinese people, so it is better to change them. It will be fair for everyone to come out and see.

Xiao Qi gave them a very generous business trip subsidy. When they went abroad, it was basically 1,000 US dollars a day, which was enough for them to buy many things for their family and friends back home.

Yu Shanshan is in charge of the finance department. As a wife, she didn't say anything about Xiao Qi's generosity. After all, those people follow her husband when they go out, and they have to block the gun when necessary. If they don't give generous treatment, who is willing to work for you?

However, the specific handling personnel couldn't help sighing. They knew that they would learn martial arts and join the army. If they go out with the little boss, the subsidy for a week is at least two or three months' salary!

In fact, the bodyguards themselves have heard such rumors, but seeing that Xiao Qi has never wavered, their hearts have settled down. Since the little boss has given him such a generous gift, at most it is to fill his life in danger hello.

Xiao Qi drank green tea by himself, and continued to think about the things he had been thinking about all afternoon.

As one of the largest securities and financial investment banks in the world, Merrill Lynch holds an unknown amount of assets. Although its apparent stock market value is as high as 44 billion U.S. dollars, the capital it controls has already approached this amount. number.

Otherwise, they lost more than 20 billion US dollars in losses in the past two years. If there is no stock, where will the money come from to make up for the asset write-down?

Xiao Qi is very interested in the three assets Morakot mentioned today, but the financial data company is the dish of the Middle East. It is not worth the candle to get it.

So if you narrow the target a bit, you can target Bloomberg News and Black Rock Group.

After getting Bloomberg News into his hands, not only can he get more financial information, but he can also enjoy the asset appreciation brought about by the continuous development of Bloomberg. Core assets exist.

But if you can only choose one of the three, Xiao Qi will choose the Black Rock Group.

Not only because Black Rock Group is the largest asset management company in the world, with a very elite management team and financial team, but also because it is a company spun out of Black Rock Group. merged into one company.

If Xiao Qi can hold 49.8% of the shares of Black Rock Group in his hands, then he will be the largest shareholder of Black Rock Group, and he will be directly qualified to negotiate with Black Rock Group, and if Black Rock Group wants to buy shares of Black Rock Group If so, then they can only take bsp;girl's shares to increase to 60%. At that time, whether it is acquisition or capital injection, it will become easier.

To put it bluntly, no matter how valuable the wealth of these American companies is, it is not as important as Xiao Qi's favor with Xiao Meiji's wife.

While thinking, the doorbell rang.

The bodyguard first looked at the cat's eyes, then took a look at the photos in the magazine, and then opened the door.

The slightly rich John Thain looked inside with a smile on his face and saw the boy standing in the living room.

"Qi Shao! Unexpectedly, we will meet in this situation!" Shaking hands with Xiao Qi, Thain said with emotion.

When Xiao Qi was in the VAM business, he cheated a lot of people, but only Goldman Sachs and Merrill Lynch fell into Xiao Qi's hands twice in a row, and lost nearly 2 billion US dollars back and forth.

If it is normal, a loss of 2 billion US dollars is nothing, but the 1 billion oil bet that expired on December 31 last year has really severely damaged investors' confidence in Merrill Lynch, leading to the situation of Merrill Lynch. exacerbated aggravation.

It stands to reason that people from Merrill Lynch should hate Xiao Qi, but Thain only became a firefighting expert in December last year, so he has no hatred for Xiao Qi. Instead, he admires Xiao Qi for successfully pulling out his teeth several times in a row. Such a stunning genius is absolutely impossible to do!

At the same time, at the same time, he is also glad that he did not participate in the bet that Xiao Qi clamored before that "the price of oil must reach 150 US dollars", otherwise, looking at the current oil price close to 140 US dollars, it would be another tragedy to deliver food to Xiao Qi. . ——Of course, he is not the only one who is lucky. In fact, all the companies that have had this idea but failed to implement it are opening champagne to celebrate.

This also shows how terrifying Xiao Qi's deterrent power is when it comes to oil futures. (To be continued..)
