Chapter 2663 Share Transactions
Xiao Qi only stayed in South Korea for three days before boarding a plane to the United States.
The service level and safety factor of Korean Air in the past few years are much better than those after the big expansion a few years later.
Among other things, the group of stewardesses on the plane are very beautiful.
Although I don't know if it's an artificial beauty, but she didn't marry her back home and have children, she just appreciates it, so there's no need to delve into it so deeply.
Xiao Qi took the luxurious first class cabin.
When going out on weekdays, Xiao Qi has never been so particular, but on the plane, he is the most particular.
Because Xiao Qi is very prone to airsickness, if he does not fall asleep for half an hour on the plane, then basically flying is equivalent to a nightmare, and it is very painful.
However, every time he flies from Asia to the United States, it usually takes more than ten hours, so Xiao Qi feels even more uncomfortable.
Fortunately, now that Lu Qin is helping to train and strengthen his body, Xiao Qi's physique has improved a lot, so after waking up along the way, he drank some wine and continued to fall asleep.
The beautiful stewardesses on the plane originally wanted to chat more with the most handsome young man in the first-class cabin to see if they could become friends. Maybe this would give them a chance for further development, but their rich experience and Seeing that Xiao Qi was someone who was airsick, he couldn't cheer up on the plane, so he had no choice but to give up.
Although I will suffer from airsickness, if it is my own plane, the environment and comfort should be much better.
It's a pity that Huaguo still doesn't allow private jets, and they can only buy them under the name of the company. Boss Xu, Ma Yun, Wang Shoufu, etc. will all do this in the future.
There is actually no problem in doing so, especially since Xiao Qi owns the Fairy Company alone, so there will be no disputes or accusations.
The money to buy the plane is not a problem. Regardless of the family, who else in this world is richer than Xiao Qi?
The problem is that Huaguo is very strict about aircraft control, especially private aircraft. Basically, it is very troublesome for you to apply for a route, and there is no way to make it fast and convenient when flying in the country. Often the application is several days in advance, and there is no way to catch up with the time.
If it is only used to fly overseas routes, it would be too wasteful, so Xiao Qi's plan to buy the plane has been empty.
Gossip less.
When Xiao Qi came to America this time, his first stop was not New York, but California.
Naturally, the purpose of coming here is to see Chief Qiao.
It happened to be night. Xiao Qi directly went to Gang Leader Qiao's house for dinner.
"I said why are you so impolite?" While eating, Qiao Gangzhu complained, "When we Americans are guests at a friend's house, we must solemnly mention it. You are good. You said you would come to eat before boarding the plane. Did you say hello?"
"I said, Old Qiao, don't be so particular about it, you can do the same next time you go to my house." Xiao Qi raised his knife and fork with a smile. He said to Mrs. Qiao: "Lauren, thank you for your hospitality. The lamb chops are delicious!"
"Hehe. Eat more if you like it." Lauren smiled slightly, "As for the person next to me. You don't need to worry about him, he is like this! But if he is not a good friend, he will not complain, but will I will scare you away with my eyes, haha!"
Gang Leader Qiao looked at his wife helplessly, and simply stopped talking, so as not to be complained about again.
Xiao Qi looked at him eating, and asked casually, "Before I came here, the Chinese Medicine College over there specially asked me to convey their thanks. Your donation of 10 million US dollars has been received. They will further Increase investment in traditional Chinese medicine in our country, and strive to train better doctors."
"Well, speaking of it, I should also thank you." Qiao's leader stopped using the knife and fork, looked up and said, "My physical examination in the past two years is almost normal. Although the hospital thinks there are still hidden dangers, but I can On the basis of not damaging the organs, there is no problem in continuing to maintain the body and treat gently."
"Yeah, you don't know how happy I am now." Lauren also said a little excitedly: "The doctors in the United States said that his body would not last for a few years, but under the care of Chinese medicine, he not only His physical condition has improved a lot, and even his energy and spirit have become stronger. Several old gentlemen said that if he continues to receive treatment and maintenance in this way, he will have no problem living in health for another twenty years! Thank God! Thank them! Thank you, Mr. Xiao!"
"The most important thing in Chinese medicine is to coexist with the disease." Xiao Qi said, "However, Stephen actively cooperated with the treatment, and his own efforts also played a big role."
Leader Qiao sighed a little upon hearing this.
The skills of several masters of traditional Chinese medicine are really superb, but there are many taboos, such as prohibiting violent anger, prohibiting irregular sleep, prohibiting some unsuitable diets, must drink bitter Chinese medicine, acupuncture and moxibustion are indispensable... In this way, he can only work for a maximum of 8 hours a day, which is really uncomfortable for him who is a workaholic.
But he is not a person who does not know what is good or bad. As he gets older, his sense of responsibility for the family also increases. Besides, if he can live for a few decades longer, he can continue to fight Xiao Qi and defeat the Fairy Company. This is shorter than him. It is much better to burn your life to work for a few short years.
After dinner, Lauren made a cup of oolong tea for Xiao Qi and a cup of herbal tea specially prepared by the master of traditional Chinese medicine for Gangzhu Qiao, and then closed the door of the study.
"Tell me, you must have some kind of conspiracy when you come here? Simply put, don't beat around the bush." Leader Qiao asked while drinking herbal tea.
"Look at what you said, are we friends? Could it be that I can't be a guest for a while?" Xiao Qi laughed.
"I don't believe it." Leader Joe shook his head, "Let me guess! There seems to be some movement on Disney's side recently. It is said that mysterious capital is buying their shares. Some shareholders and executives of Disney are also revealing that there is a super Rich people are interested in Disney, so they are talking about you, right?"
Gang Leader Qiao has always known about Xiao Qi's interest in Disney.
As Disney's largest individual shareholder, he also helped Xiao Qi acquire 10% of Disney's shares before.
Disney is a super large group company. Although the actual price has fallen to a super low price of 48 billion U.S. dollars, if someone really wants to buy in large quantities, the price will definitely not be so low. The purchase price will be at least 60 billion U.S. dollars Around US dollars.
After all, Disney's profitability is good, and it is a high-quality stock that can be held for a long time. If you want others to sell it, you can only buy it at a premium.
There are not many rich people and companies that can spend so much money, especially in such an environment of financial crisis.
Haven't you seen that those Middle Eastern oil tycoons who have always been wealthy have recently reduced their investment?
So after seeing that it was the Blackstone Group that was helping the center, after much deliberation, Chief Qiao felt that most likely it was Xiao Qi who was buying this time.
Because Xiao Qi originally liked to buy companies, especially those meaningful companies, to preserve his assets.
To be honest, Chief Qiao disdains Xiao Qi for being distracted like this, but he has to admit that even under such circumstances, Fairy Company is still ahead of Apple, so he still has to work harder to succeed. Row.
Faced with Joe's question, Xiao Qi nodded with a smile and said, "That's right, Stephen, I was the one who initiated the acquisition of Disney."
Gang Leader Qiao said puzzledly: "Why do you buy Disney? It has nothing to do with your main business, right? Do you think that doing everything will help your family business develop? Too much involvement in unfamiliar fields, this is The way to death, right?"
"I bought it for my own use, and I like the elite business model of professional managers in the United States. In many ways, I will let them do things." Xiao Qi said, "Stephen, since you guessed that I want to buy Disney, Then you can guess why I came here to find you?"
Leader Qiao adjusted his glasses, "What price do you offer?"
He is direct.
Knowing that Xiao Qi wanted the 7.7% Disney shares in his hand, he could naturally ask the price first.
"In cash, I'll give you 4.5 billion US dollars. If you want, you can write off the 5 billion US dollars you lent me." Xiao Qi talked eloquently: "If you want shares in Apple, then we can discuss it." .”
Leader Qiao stood up in a daze, and said after a long time: "You are so generous."
Xiao Qi knew that what he was talking about was not generosity in terms of money, but that Xiao Qi directly offered a bargaining chip that he could not refuse, that is, to exchange for the shares of Apple.
What does Chief Qiao care about most in his life?
Isn't it the Apple company that he founded and developed by himself?
For a tyrant like him with a particularly serious idea of monopoly, after being kicked out once and entering Apple for the second time, he has the idea of holding a large number of shares in Apple, so he can say what he says.
Therefore, he only borrowed more than 10 billion US dollars last time, and directly acquired 20% of Apple's shares in one go, which shocked the entire American technology industry.
But this 20% is not his own, it is all obtained by borrowing. Even if the stock price of Apple has increased significantly, Qiao Gangzhu can keep about 13% at most, plus his own 0.59% of the shares, it is still It looks a little thin.
But if Xiao Chi is willing to give 10% of his Apple shares to Joe, then he will have almost 23% of Apple's shares in his hand, plus Joe's status and prestige in Apple, it will definitely be gone. Necessary constraints!
After thinking over and over again, Gang Leader Qiao finally made a decision: "I can give you the Disney stock, but you have to promise me one condition!" (To be continued~^~)
