Chapter 1862 Leisurely Preparations

If a lobbying company wants to lobby for the passage of a bill, it takes at least a few months of preparation.

And if you want to acquire high-quality assets of a company, you have to spend at least a month of grinding slowly.

But Xiao Qi gave Carrillo Consulting Company a maximum of two weeks, which made all their senior management feel a little bit of urgency.

Fortunately, Xiao Qi provided them with the detailed preferences of the 7 partners and directors, and with the Carrillo Consulting Company's own intelligence reserve, they were not so hasty at all.

Of course, Xiao Qi asked several female bodyguards to re-copy this information before giving it to them. The reason is naturally not to expose Thain.

In addition, Tong Wencong broke into the secret fund account of Carrillo Consulting Company through several secret accounts that night. Under the temptation of huge money, Carrillo Consulting Company specially organized a most powerful dozens of People's lobbying and public relations team started the public relations lobbying of Merrill Lynch's top management and the Black Rock Group's board of directors.

It’s not that Xiao Qi is unwilling to give them more time. In the history of his previous life, Merrill Lynch basically sold 20% of Bloomberg’s shares and 37% of the financial data company’s shares in mid-July. Black Rock Group’s 49.8% of them did not sell because they wanted to wait and see. Unexpectedly, the wait would be endless. In the end, they were acquired and merged, which made Bank of America cheaper.

During the period, there were reasons of time urgency, the hole problem of a huge loss of about 5 billion US dollars in the second quarter, and the reason why Bloomberg and others did lobbying work.

It is conceivable that as Merrill Lynch released the news one after another, many companies have also started lobbying work.

It's just that Xiao Qi has a great advantage, that is, he knows what he should buy and what he must get, so his determination and strength are not bad at all. Definitely much firmer and stronger than others.

Everyone is playing the game of lobbying, public relations, and bribery, so naturally there will be no scandals-this kind of person who betrays the tacit understanding is usually cast aside by the entire circle.

But Xiao Qi is still as cautious as possible, after all, doing so can only benefit, not harm.

In the next few days, Xiao Qi accompanied Tang Mingxiang and Taylor leisurely. Go to the beach for a while, go to the park for a walk, or watch a movie in the small theater of the manor... Although it is very plain, it is very warm, making Taylor reluctant to move out of Tang Mingxiang's manor, unwilling to go back to a people live.

Xiao Qi is not so naive, he thinks that they are completely connected.

These two girls are as good as sisters. One important reason is that both are pregnant with babies and have no meat to eat. And Xiao Qi's other non-pregnant wives are not around, so they can live in peace, otherwise there will be some petty tempers no matter what.

With this experience, Xiao Qi decided that after going back, he must pay more attention, take good care of their emotions, and don't make pregnant mothers angry. It's best to be like Tang Mingxiang and Taylor now.

Leave this matter aside. There was no progress in the lobbying for the acquisition, so Xiao Qi was the first to usher in a bad news.

That's Oracle's board of directors. Once again rejected Xiao Qi's share swap agreement.

There are two reasons.

The first is that Xiao Qi's asking price is too high, and they feel that it is a disadvantage to change.

The second is that dream pad2 is a new product, and it remains to be seen how well it performs. To put it bluntly, they suspect that dream pad2 is not as popular as dream pad.

The last reason is the main reason for Oracle's rejection. Even with Ellison's successful experience in front, they dare not bet.

Ellison himself has no intention of buying a stake in Dream Pad. Because he doesn't have much cash, and Oracle's shares are the basis for him to control the company, he is reluctant to sell more.

For this result, Xiao Qi couldn't help but laugh.

It seems that if Oracle did not have Ellison at the helm, they would be just an ordinary company. Whether it's vision or courage, it's just average.

This also highlights the widespread discrimination and distrust of Orientals in the business community in Europe and the United States.

dream pad is successful, dream stars are also successful, but they still don't believe that dream pad2 can be successful.

It is their loss if they don't buy it, and Xiao Qi will not feel sorry for them.

As for his desire to obtain Oracle's shares, there is actually another simple way, which is to take advantage of the financial crisis and directly purchase them in the market.

Now Oracle’s stock price is basically around $25. Xiao Qi remembers that starting in October, for half a year, their stock price has been hovering below 20, and once dropped to below $14. It seems that they didn’t buy anything at that time. .

It doesn’t need to be too much, about 10% is enough. Although it will cost about 6.8 billion U.S. dollars including commissions, its future growth rate will be higher than that of Bloomberg, and it is also worth holding.

Calculating the time, it has been almost ten days since Chen Yulian came out. Although she didn't say anything, Xiao Qi knew that her mother missed her father. It was the first time she had been out for such a long time, and she was always worried that Xiao Xu would be alone. I can't take care of myself at home.

Anyway, Chen Yulian has nothing to do here, so Xiao Qi mentioned it to Tang Mingxiang and Taylor, and the two daughters-in-law ran up to Chen Yulian, talking left and right, and quickly persuaded Chen Yulian to leave her alone go back first.

cough cough.

To say something unfilial, both Tang Mingxiang and little Taylor felt that it didn't matter if the mother-in-law went back, as long as her husband was here to accompany her.

After all, there is such a big age difference, and there is a generation gap in thinking and behavior. Tang Mingxiang grew up in Huaguo culture, so she doesn't feel it, but little Taylor feels that she is often controlled by others, not allowed to do this or that, really a pain.

So when he sent Chen Yulian back from the airport, Taylor made an exception and poured himself a glass of beer, and drank it happily in small sips.

You know, this behavior of drinking is absolutely unacceptable in Chen Yulian's opinion, so even if Taylor doesn't drink beer on weekdays, he still uses this behavior to express his joy for freedom.

Early the next morning, Xiao Qi, who was sleeping between his two wives, was filled with pride when he woke up looking at the beautiful and beautiful wives.

When Chen Yulian was here, Xiao Qi didn't have a chance to sleep with them, even if he didn't do anything, so last night Xiao Qi simply put his two wives on the bed and slept with them.

Facts have proved that as long as there is love in the heart, even if you don’t do anything, you can be sweet and warm when you sleep—not only Xiao Qi is smiling, but the two mothers-to-be are also smiling slightly in their sleep.

Since Tang Mingxiang and Taylor became pregnant, although it is only a little over a month now, they are obviously lethargic. They must sleep for more than 12 hours a day, which is completely different from their previous living habits.

After exercising, eating buns, steamed buns and soy milk made by the female bodyguards, facing the morning sun, Xiao Qi felt that such a day was no different from that in China.

Of course, there is still a difference.

At least in China, it is impossible for Xiao Qi to have such enthusiastic neighbors.

"Hi, Xiao Qi, are your wives there?" The boy who was sitting in the garden reading the newspaper heard such a carefree greeting.

Looking up, what Xiao Qi saw was a girl wearing a simple T-shirt and jeans, walking over with great strides.

She is Larry Ellison's youngest daughter, Megan. Since Xiao Qi mentioned it to her that day, she really came to Xiao Qi's house, and she got along well with Tang Mingxiang and Taylor, so During this time, I came to report almost every day.

Xiao Qi also hopes that the two wives can have more good friends who can get along with each other, so she is very welcome.

"They are still sleeping." Xiao Qi smiled, "Why don't you sit down and drink a glass of juice first?"

"Juice is not good, let's have a cup of coffee!" Megan sat down across from Xiao Qi unceremoniously, "I said that you are actually pretty good except for the shortcoming of having too many wives. You don't drink or smoke, don't go to You don't go to nightclubs, don't go to parties, and you don't pay much attention to food and drink... Among the rich people I know, you have the best conduct."

"That's right, I think so too." Xiao Qi has never been polite in front of foreigners. "But Miss Megan, I have to criticize you. Look at what movies you choose! They are all weird. , didn’t you make my wives lose money?”

"Cut! That's because you don't understand art!" Megan didn't think she was standing in front of the world's richest man who was even more powerful than her father. "Art doesn't exist to please others. We should appreciate the deep meaning of expression. Not just popcorn movies and ketchup movies."

Popcorn movies refer to blockbuster movies with special effects, which is the movie her brother likes to invest in.

Ketchup movies specifically refer to the horror movie series, and have countless fans in the United States.

Then Megan’s favorite is independent movies, which are movies with a very strong personal style made by countless directors according to their own ideas. The famous "Two Smoking Barrels" is one of them.

It's okay for her to like it, but for some reason, she actually persuaded Tang Mingxiang and Taylor, and then the three of them each contributed 20 million US dollars to set up a company called "Hope Films" to invest in Talented directors and movies, and the CEO of Hope Films is the 22-year-old girl sitting in front of Xiao Qi.

Seeing her instigating wives to do money-losing business, Xiao Qi only joked a few words, but didn't stop her.

Firstly, because Tang Mingxiang and Taylor have their own ideas, Xiao Qi is usually not willing to interfere with them, as long as they think they can do it.

Secondly, although investing in independent films does not make money, Xiao Qi has not forgotten that Megan will have dozens or even hundreds of Oscar nominations in his hands in the future. A good thing to improve your reputation! (To be continued..)
