Chapter 1999 Shun Shui Favor
I dare not say that Jabil's method is a magic needle, but it has played a huge positive role, which is absolutely beyond doubt.
Usually, many companies use this sudden operation to stabilize people's hearts and increase people's trust in it.
Only with money can there be great operations, and only with ability can you buy things that others cannot buy, right?
But the problem now is that Xiao Qi has no intention of selling the shares of Dream Pad and Dream Stars at all, so Jabil can only come to beg Xiao Qi himself.
"Qi Shao, we have known each other for several years. My subordinates, whether it is Tom, Wade, Bao Lijie, or Mochiyev, are also friends with you. As long as we are in Citibank, Citibank will You will always be a friend of Fairy Company, although you are a genius, but with our help, you should be able to do business better in European and American countries!" Jabil said seriously: "So, you see For the sake of our friends, save Citibank! We'll all be forever grateful!"
Jabil was right.
The economy in this world is still dominated by white people. It is really difficult for Chinese people to go abroad to do business.
Either being scammed, or buying low-quality things at a high price, anyway, I mocked myself as "paying tuition", but in fact it was embarrassing and annoyed.
It would have been much easier if Citibank was on the sidelines as a matchmaker.
Don't say that the fees are very high, some things are not what you can buy for a long time, and only by relying on the strong network of Citibank, can you have more chances of success.
Xiao Qi's Fairy Bank is destined to be able to do business in Asia at most, but it will definitely be severely suppressed in Europe and the United States.
With a partner like Citibank, some acquisitions and transactions that are inconvenient to come forward can be completely entrusted to them, which seems very convenient.
And if Citibank is in the hands of Jabil's faction, it will only have this meaning for Xiao Qi, and it will be replaced by another group of people. Then it must be something else.
Relationship plus interest, the two are combined together. That is the basis for solid cooperation.
Xiao Qi can regard several executives of Citibank as friends, but when it comes to business, he will still be very cautious, and he will never give others a chance to cheat him.
Since ancient times, shopping malls are like battlefields, and this is the case.
However, although Xiao Qi has decided in his heart, he can help Citibank. But you can't agree so easily, otherwise the favor will be too worthless.
While thinking, Xiao Qi showed embarrassment: "If it's about borrowing money or something, with my good relationship with you, it's no problem to borrow 5 billion or 10 billion US dollars. But it involves selling the Dream Pad and Dream Stars shares, I have no such plans for the time being, "
Xiao Qi was deliberately saying polite words, and he really wanted him to lend money to Citibank. That's okay, but the conditions will be very strict, except that the collateral must be sufficient. There are still many additional conditions, and it is guaranteed to be no cheaper than Citibank borrowing money from other companies.
And he knew it too. What Citibank lacks now is not money. Although they have no money, what they need most is confidence, not only for investors and savers, but also for Citi's partners.
Only when everyone is full of confidence in Citigroup, then Citigroup's road will be easier.
Sure enough, Jabil said with gratitude on his face: "Qi Shao, thank you very much for lending us money, but what we need most now is something that can boost morale. In addition to your Dream Pad and Dream Stars shares, I can't think of anything better."
paused. He added: "I know it's very embarrassing for you to make such a request suddenly. But please see that tens of thousands of Citibank employees' lives are hanging by a thread, and we, your friends, are also at the end of the road. Give us your Support! I, Jabil, swear to God, I will never forget your kindness!"
Xiao Qi was silent for a while, and said: "This is not a simple question. You know, Mr. Jabil, whether it is Samsung, Google, Microsoft, Goldman Sachs, UBS, Blackstone, etc., are all interested in the shares of Dream Pad and Dream Stars. If I sell it to your Citigroup, they will also buy it, what should I do? Should I just refuse?"
Jabil's face changed slightly, what Xiao Qi said was exactly one of the most difficult places they estimated.
If you just sell them Citigroup, then there is really no trouble, but the problem is that Xiao Qi has a good relationship with others. If you only sell Citigroup and not sell it to others, then it is unjustifiable. Xiao Qi has to bear the crime for Citigroup. How could Qi ask for trouble so much?
So practically, if Xiao Qi sells his shares in Dream Pad and Dream Stars to Citibank, then he must sell them to others.
According to Xiao Qi's stingy temper, this matter is simply extremely difficult.
But Jabil had no choice but to try his luck and see if a miracle could happen.
"It's rare, you don't need to sell a lot, for example, 10% is enough, and we don't need much at Citigroup, 2%-3% is fine." Jabil hesitated, "When Citigroup has passed this period of time, we There must be rewards!"
Xiao Qi sighed: "Citibank is so difficult, even if I want to buy shares of Dream Pad and Dream Stars for you, where will you get the money to buy them?"
"Citigroup actually still has some funds. Taking advantage of the time gap, we can make do with 10 billion dollars." Jabil quickly replied, "It must be paid in cash on the spot, and there is absolutely no default. And how much money you sell to others, Citigroup is in this position." A 20% premium will be added on the basis, and it will be given in the form of a remark contract, and it will also be paid directly.”
He knew that Xiao Qi would suffer a lot from selling the shares, so he wanted to make up for it with money.
Although it is not a lot, it can be regarded as a wish of Citigroup.
Xiao Qi smiled, "Mr. Jabil is very thoughtful."
Jabil smiled ashamedly: "Can you not think about it? Although Citigroup is very important, it is also my Jabil code of conduct not to let my friends suffer. I know how to persuade Qi Shao to sell shares in Dream Pad and Dream Stars , you have lost much more than what I gave you."
Jabil's thinking has reached a deadlock, that is, he thought that Xiao Qi would not sell the shares of Dream Pad and Dream Stars before, and he would not sell them now.
But in fact, few people know that Xiao Qi has already planned to sell the shares of his ace product for the second time.
Of course it wasn't because Xiao Qi was short of money. The most important reason was to disperse the pressure and let more capable companies join in to help Xiao Qi shelter from the wind and rain.
If it weren't for LVMH and Virgin Branson's shares in Dream Pad, the situation of Fairy Company in Europe would definitely not be as smooth as it is now.
While the two of them were enjoying the Dream Pad, they were also fulfilling their obligations to solve some troubles against Fairy Company.
The United States is even more so.
In the two years of last year and this year, Green Pine Capital has dredged up many times in the Congress and blocked no fewer than seven crises for Fairy Company. Although Xiao Qi also paid a lot of money, this favor and relationship , but money can't buy it.
As for Larry Ellison, he also opened his mouth and bombarded many newspapers and senators against Fairy Company, which to a certain extent made those people afraid and did not dare to be too blatant.
However, with the help of all friends, it does not mean that Fairy Company can sit back and relax from now on.
Dream Stars is even more popular than Dream Pad, so there are more people who are jealous.
When Dream Snow comes out in the future, the sales volume will be even more amazing than Dream Stars, then it will make others envy and hate even more.
So Xiao Qi needs to gather more friends, and make them willingly and spontaneously protect the interests of Fairy Company through interests.
What is Xiao Qi's trump card?
Naturally, it is the shares of Dream Pad and Dream Stars!
Only when they also have the benefits of Dream Pad and Dream Stars, will they consciously maintain Dream Pad and Dream Stars.
It just so happened that now Citibank came over, giving Xiao Qi a reason to push the boat along.
After being silent for a while, Xiao Qi said slowly: "If I sell the shares of Citibank Dream Stars, is 5% enough?"
"Huh? Shares of Dream Stars!?"
Jabil's breathing almost stopped, he thought he heard it wrong, "Qi Shao, what you said is true? Can Citibank buy 5% of Dream Stars?!"
"That's right!"
Xiao Qi nodded seriously, "You are my friends, last time Mingxiang's Chose girl shares were redeemed, you also gave me face. Now that Citibank is in trouble, it has nothing to do with me, but if I can help you Citibank goes one step further, and that's worth it for me!"
"what!!"
Jabil stood up excitedly and kept bowing to Xiao Qi: "Shao Qi...you are really our benefactor! I, Jabil, will be your forever friend!! Thank you! Thank you!!"
No matter what Xiao Qi thinks, the current result is what he is most looking forward to, and it is also what Citibank urgently needs.
The huge pressure on him during this period of time suddenly disappeared for the most part!
The Dinghaishenzhen needle that stabilizes people's hearts is finally obtained! (to be continued ~^~)
