Chapter 2664 The Sensational Acquisition in the United States (Part 1)

Leader Qiao's request is actually very simple, but it is also his usual domineering style.

He asked Xiao Qi to sell all 10% of Apple's shares to him, but he had to pay off the price difference and interest in five years.

Disney's current stock market value is 48 billion US dollars.

The current market value of Apple has exceeded 230 billion US dollars, which can be said to be rising steadily, and the values ​​​​of the two are different.

Even if Disney's stock price is at a premium of 25%, reaching 60 billion U.S. dollars, you are only about a quarter of Apple's price.

As a result, 7.7% of Disney's shares can only be exchanged for 2% of Apple's shares, and the remaining 8% are not eligible.

But Gang Leader Qiao holds the shares that Xiao Qi wants, and he is friends with Xiao Qi, so he can bargain cheekily and get 8% of Apple's shares first for nothing.

"Stephen, you have already lent me 5 billion US dollars, and now you have borrowed 18.4 billion US dollars of shares for nothing for five years, are you embarrassed?" Xiao Qi laughed angrily at this, this Qiao gang leader is really a thick-skinned People, they are indeed old-fashioned hippies.

"It's a little bit more, but it's not that I don't give you interest." Gang Leader Qiao said solemnly, "I will give you 20% annual interest, and I will pay you back double in five years. You can earn so much money, aren't you satisfied? ? Don’t think I don’t know, you bought Apple’s stock just to make money.”

"But if I tell you that I think the value of Apple stock in my hand will rise to 300% in five years, do you think I will sell the shares in advance?" Xiao Qi said with a smile.

The highest share price of Apple should reach more than 600 billion. If it develops well in smart electronics in the future, it is not impossible to exceed 800 billion US dollars. Xiao Qi bought its shares, naturally for the purpose of maximizing profits.

"Hehe, then I have to thank you for valuing my ability?" Chief Qiao was not angry, but rather proud.

When Xiao Qi said this, he meant that Chief Qiao was able to continuously develop and grow Apple. Even becoming the largest company in the United States, isn't that a compliment?

"You just need to earn money for me seriously. Nothing else is a thank you to me." Xiao Qi also replied with a smile.

Hearing Xiao Qi's words, Gang Leader Qiao sighed slightly in his heart.

He knew what Xiao Qi meant, he was definitely unwilling to let go of the remaining Apple shares, and at most he could exchange for 2% of Apple's shares.

But this is actually quite good. It is not too bad to have about 15% of Apple's shares left in his hands. In addition, Xiao Qi has agreed to hand over the voting rights of Apple's shares in his hand to him. Well, the leader of Qiao Gang actually still has about 23% of the voting rights.

But Gang Leader Qiao is not that easy to deal with. He coughed lightly and said, "In this case, let's exchange shares. But I need you to lend me 5 billion US dollars for a period of one year without interest. How about it?"

"You are really a person who does not suffer!" Xiao Qi shook his head, "Deal!"

"readily!"

Leader Qiao laughed and explained the reason for borrowing money, "Apple is developing very well now. I am confident that its market value will increase by more than 50% in a year. If I sell the stock now, I feel that I will lose money. .So borrowing your money to pay the interest. It's a good deal."

The interest on his loan is about 15%, but it is more of a gambling condition. But now it seems that these conditions have already been met, and those investment banks can only watch helplessly as Qiao's boss borrows chickens to lay eggs, and then they only get back some interest benefits.

But Gang Leader Qiao didn't have any extra money on him, plus the interest on borrowed money from some friends, it was a huge expense to repay the interest every month to raise funds, which made him quite sad.

As in the previous life, Gang Leader Qiao returned to Apple as the CEO, with a salary of $1 per year. It's just that there are a lot of equity incentives, but he will never sell a penny of Apple shares. So the only way now is to tear down the west wall to make up for the east wall.

On weekdays, his biggest income still comes from dividends from Disney shares and some other investments. This money is enough to live on, but it is a bit difficult to pay back so much interest.

He had already borrowed Xiao Qi's 5 billion US dollars for a year or two, and he didn't pay any interest. He was embarrassed to ask Xiao Qi to borrow money again, but now it is rare to have such an opportunity, and borrowing money has become a matter of course matter.

Xiao Qi didn't care about lending money to friends, even if it was a little more.

Although Qiao's gang leader is somewhat cold-hearted by nature, he might not be willing to ask him to lend money to Xiao Qi, but after Xiao Qi's reincarnation and rebirth, the cornerstone of his career is from Apple, from Qiao Qi. The leader of the gang, so he also knows to repay them.

Therefore, it’s not just the loan from Qiao’s gang leader, the current cooperation between Fairy Company and Apple is also at a slight disadvantage, not to mention that the sale of APP STORE’s shares is purely to give money to Apple, which is the same compensation Mental.

...

After resting at the hotel for one night, Xiao Qi flew to New York early the next morning.

On the way to the mansion on Long Island, Xiao Qi called Schwarzman, CEO of Blackstone Group, and made an appointment to have afternoon tea together.

Then the teenager devoted himself to the happy time with his wife and daughters.

Knowing that Xiao Qi came to New York, Little Taylor specially took Sophie back to the manor, and then, together with Tang Mingxiang and Buer, greeted Xiao Qi's arrival.

These two daughters are the oldest among Xiao Qi's daughters. They are already 10 months old. They can babble and yell out some words, and they can crawl around on the ground. They are full of energy.

After lunch, I brought Sophie and Bu'er into the courtyard, Xiao Qi played games with them, the two little girls giggled, and even flew around, every time Xiao Qi caught them back, they continued to play games. He seemed very excited to run away.

In New York at the end of November, it was already very cold, but neither Buer nor Sophie were spoiled dolls, especially with the guidance of Japanese aunties, they did not stay in the room all day long, so their bodies very good.

Such outdoor activities, as long as they do not exceed an hour, have no impact on their bodies at all, and can also promote their bone development, and are also good for intellectual inspiration.

Of course, you can't do this when it's snowing, when indoor activities are the most suitable for little girls.

Little Taylor is very interesting, holding a guitar in his hand, while watching her husband and daughter playing, playing the guitar for them to add to the fun, making the two little girls climb more happily.

Tang Mingxiang didn't have the talent in this area, so she just pushed a small cart out, sat at a wooden table not far away, and watched them play on their stomachs.

When the two mothers hugged their exhausted daughters in their arms, it was around three o'clock before they knew it. The two little girls fell asleep in the warm arms of their mothers.

In the weather at the end of November, as long as you are not doing outdoor activities, you will easily feel the cold. In order to prevent your daughters from catching cold, Xiao Qi took them into the house. At this time, the bodyguard outside notified him with a communicator, Swartz Man has arrived.

"congratulations!"

When Schwartzman saw Xiao Qi in the small living room, he couldn't help joking, "Qi Shao, Disney has become in your hands, and you have become the first person in American history who can master Disney. Foreigners. Wonder when we will make a public announcement?"

Xiao Qi sat down with a smile and said, "Now that I have announced that I have eaten Disney, is there no resistance?"

"Of course there will be resistance, but your relationship in the U.S. Senate and the Committee on Foreign Investment will not be a problem." Schwartzman said, "plus the U.S. securities market For the exciting acquisition event, what is Disney? It’s just an entertainment company! Back then they allowed SONY to acquire Columbia Film Group, so why don’t you buy Disney today?”

Swarzman had a point.

Among other things, SONY has already acquired Columbia Film Group, so the second acquisition does not seem so abrupt.

What's more, Xiao Qi's relationship in the United States is somewhat better than that of SONY. After all, SONY is a large group company, and many people control the decision-making level of SONY, so many aspects are not easy to be too conspicuous, but Xiao Qi Qi has no scruples in this regard, and he has a deeper understanding of the situation in the United States, so the relationship network he has compiled in the United States is stronger than that of Sony.

If it wasn't for this, the Blackstone Group wouldn't dare to help Xiao Qi acquire Disney - it would be absolutely impossible to acquire one of the cultural symbols of the United States with only money.

After the Blackstone Group had acquired a total of 50.26% of Disney's shares, Schwarzman told Xiao Qi that he could go directly to the United States to receive the fruits of victory.

Xiao Qi already owns 10% of Disney's shares, plus the 7.7% that Xiao Qi said before, he will get 67.96% of the shares from Qiao's gang leader, and he can completely propose a request for privatization and delisting.

It is already an honor for the Blackstone Group to help Xiao Qi acquire the behemoth Disney, not to mention the generous commissions that the Blackstone Group can obtain in terms of share trading, privatization and delisting.

A conservative estimate is 1 billion US dollars. If it is done cleanly, then 1.2 billion, or even 1.5 billion US dollars of ultra-high profits are definitely not impossible.

Because Xiao Qi's good reputation in this area has long spread throughout Wall Street, investment banks and brokers all know that as long as they help Xiao Qi to do things, they will be rewarded handsomely.

(Merry Christmas, brothers!) (to be continued ~^~)
