Chapter 2085 Spend Money Like Water

The Russians are very impatient. In just one week, three secret delegations have been sent, each with higher specifications.

Needless to say Xiao Qi, Niu Ruzheng has strictly ordered oil companies to prohibit the purchase of oil during this period, no matter if it is from Russia, the Middle East, or South America.

Even if oil will rise in the future, even if we miss this price trough, compared to the country's energy strategy, winning or losing billions or tens of billions of dollars is just a trivial matter.

Xiao Qi knew that he would not miss the opportunity at all this time.

This time the oil price was at a low point. In the previous life, it was still there until February and March, and then it started to rise after March. Now it is only the beginning of December 2008. It doesn't matter if you buy a few days late.

Xiao Qi knows the history, but the Russians don't. According to their current environment, an agreement may be reached in the last one or two months.

Rongcheng in December was still cold and rainy. If it wasn't for the big bellies of his wives, Xiao Qi would definitely let them go to Qiongdao for vacation. The weather there is sunny and warm, much better than Rongcheng.

Of course, this is just a thought.

According to Yu Shanshan's prudence, she would not even take the train back to her hometown in the Northeast to raise a baby, so how could she go to Qiongdao?

In the chairman's office area, the space where the little beauties and secretaries live outside is warmed by the air conditioner. They are all only wearing thin sweaters and coats at work, but Xiao Qi's office inside is a bit cold, because he doesn't like it at all. Turn on the air conditioner in winter.

Putting down the phone, a smile appeared on Xiao Qi's face.

The call was from David.

After more than a month of arduous negotiations, Paramount finally agreed to Friendship Studio's request.

"Tomb Raider", "Transformers", "Mission Impossible", "Iron Man", "Captain America", "Avengers", etc., all or part of the copyrights in Paramount's hands are transferred to Friendship Studios, but the production of these films had to be handed over to Paramount.

In addition, David also won what he got in his previous life, that is, the priority investment rights of all Paramount film productions within the next ten years.

For this reason, Friendship Studio paid 1.45 billion U.S. dollars in cash to Paramount, which is in deep crisis. is a huge plus.

But from the perspective of the United States, this is purely a boring game played by a few young rich kids.

Opportunities abound in America right now. Spending 1.45 billion US dollars can completely buy a very good company, but it is spent in the film, it is simply money and no place to spend it.

Fortunately, Friendship Studio is a private company, so there is no need to disclose the shareholding to the public, otherwise they will know the proportion of shares in it, which will definitely cause Taylor a lot of trouble.

Speaking of which, little Taylor has been out of the public eye for five months. However, under Scott's operation, her previously recorded songs are released on the charts every two months, and her popularity has not decreased much, and everyone will not feel that Taylor has been away from the public eye for a long time.

When talking on the phone with Xiao Qi, little Taylor finally looked like a mother. When talking about the naughty baby in her belly, she couldn't get rid of her affection.

Huangfucai, Tang Mingxiang, Taylor, and Yu Shanshan are expected to give birth in January, and Xiao Qi will definitely fly between the United States and China by then. The time is as tight as a war. But such busyness is a kind of happiness.

Speaking of Paramount's live-action hero movies, Xiao Qi remembered the acquisition of Marvel.

Legere of Goldman Sachs is really good, just over a month later. He had a preliminary negotiation with Marvel.

Marvel is indeed very short of money, for Legere's first round of quotations of 3.5 billion US dollars. Just a little interested.

But when they heard that Taylor Swift, a famous singer, wanted to buy Marvel, they lost interest immediately.

The shareholders of Marvel definitely need money to meet their own living needs and meet the development of the company, but this does not mean that they are willing to sell it to whomever they want.

If it is a big Hollywood company, then the development of Marvel can be guaranteed in the future, so we can talk more about it.

But the buyer is an individual, who knows how she will toss Marvel?

If the toss makes Marvel disappear in the long river of history, then they are the sinners of Marvel.

Don't doubt it.

These shareholders have all worked in Marvel for more than ten or even twenty or thirty years. There are deep feelings for Marvel, for them. Money is as important as love.

But they hold more than 50% of the shares of Marvel, so even if Goldman Sachs buys all the shares in the market, there is no way to get Marvel.

If we can't agree, we can only let it go.

However, Legere is not a vegetarian either. Marvel paused for a while, but there were more movements in his hands.

On the one hand, he kept releasing negative news about Marvel in the stock market, causing the already volatile U.S. stock market to fluctuate again. Marvel's stock fell by 8% in just a few trading days.

On the other hand, Legere also used his relationship to make some creditors start to press for debts, causing Marvel's tension.

Third, Legere also negotiated privately with some institutional shareholders of Marvel, and slowly acquired the shares in their hands at a reasonable price. Although it is only 3% or 5%, the accumulation of small , and it is a good bargaining chip in your hand.

Looking at Legere's dazzling techniques, if Xiao Qi hadn't been in the game, he wouldn't have noticed how big the net was.

The people of Marvel are very good at developing comics, but facing a financial giant like the senior partner of Goldman Sachs, it is only a matter of time before they fail and give in.

While sighing, Xiao Qi strengthened his determination not to list his core assets.

If you are playing in the stock market, let alone Xiao Qi who lost his memory of reincarnation and rebirth in 2014, even the current Xiao Qi is not his opponent at all.

Isn't it because the Fairy Company is not yet listed that he is unrestrained and free now, and there is no way for others to plunder Xiao Qi's property?

As long as Xiao Qi listed Fairy Company, Goldman Sachs, Merrill Lynch, Morgan Stanley and other giants would have a hundred ways to make Xiao Qi surrender and plunder Fairy Company.

Leave this matter aside.

The next phone call from Gang Leader Qiao really made Xiao Qi think about it.

After a sharp drop from August to October, Apple’s stock began to stabilize in mid-November, reaching about $78 per share, but it also fell by a full 40% from July’s $135.

Leader Qiao feels that now is an opportunity to buy Apple stocks, so he is ready to buy them.

Speaking of Chief Qiao, he was really patient.

He has borrowed $5 billion from Xiao Qi since November last year, and also borrowed $7 billion from other friends, planning to use it to buy shares in Apple, but he has waited until now, a full year, before he is ready to do it .

It has to be said that to be able to achieve a great career, the forbearance of Chief Qiao is not something that ordinary people can achieve.

He was about to make a move, and then asked Xiao Qi if he wanted to buy 3% or 5% as well. Apple is definitely a good asset, and he won’t regret buying it.

Not to mention, this time Xiao Qi was really moved.

Because he just successfully acquired the shares of Oracle, Amazon and Qualcomm a few days ago, and these stocks are all bought, why can’t he buy Apple’s shares?

In the previous life, Apple rushed to the throne of the number one technology stock, directly breaking through the market value of 600 billion U.S. dollars! In terms of each stock alone, it is close to 700 US dollars, which is almost 9 times the current amount!

Xiao Qi doesn't need to hold shares, buy a 5% or 8% stock, which is a very good asset with a generous dividend return - Apple's profit is more than 30% every year!

He also knew what Joe's boss meant by asking him to buy Apple's stock together.

Gangzhu Qiao plans to buy about 15% this time to become Apple's largest shareholder, but this amount is not very safe.

If Xiao Qi helped him and took about 5% of his own stock to vote for Gang Leader Qiao, it would be equivalent to having more than 20% of the shares of Apple in the hands of Gang Leader Qiao.

In a company as big as Apple, 20% is already a very high shareholding ratio, which is completely higher than other shareholders.

With so many shares, coupled with the prestige of Gangzhu Qiao in the company, Apple can be said to be the company of Gangzhu Qiao alone, and let him make decisions.

Compared with his previous life, it is now December 2008, but Qiao’s body is far better than in his previous life. It can even be said that he has reached 80% of the normal physical condition. As long as he continues to use traditional Chinese medicine for a long time, then It is easy to live another twenty or thirty years.

So Gang Leader Qiao's control over Apple will be long-term, Xiao Qi supports him, and the benefits he gets will naturally be greater.

After thinking about it, Xiao Qi returned the phone call to Master Qiao, and asked Master Qiao to help him buy Apple stocks. At the same time, he also entrusted Citibank to transfer 8 billion US dollars to Master Qiao, as much as he could buy, but roughly it should be 10 «out.

It's not that he doesn't want to buy more shares in Apple, but considering that Gangzhu Qiao only has a little more than 15%, if Xiao Qi buys more than Gangzhu Qiao, then Gangzhu Qiao will definitely not be happy.

Xiao Qi and Gangzhu Qiao are partners, and he bought Apple stock to make money and share dividends. By the way, he has some influence in Apple, not to seize power, so there is no need to buy too much.

In addition to buying the stocks of Apple and Marvel, Xiao Qi will spend close to 30 billion US dollars just to buy the stocks of a few companies during this period. This money is really worthless!

But all costs are worth it.

This part of the assets, until 2013, will be at least hundreds of billions of dollars, so Xiao Qi still earns a lot! (to be continued ~^~)

PS:   It is said that Apple’s stock price has risen again recently. Although the stock price has been split once, the inertia of success is indeed very strong! It's a pity that we are in China, and we can't buy good stocks. As for domestic stocks...
