Chapter 302: Snake Tunxiang

After a night of romance, Lima got not only surprises, but also shocks.

Whenever she saw Xiao Jin in the corner of the living room, her footsteps became brisk, she tapped her toes and dared not make a sound, for fear of offending it.

Tasting the delicious breakfast, Li Zitao felt gratified at the woman in front of him for making money wisely.

I haven't seen him in the past few months. Lima made full use of his time, learned cake baking, and opened two cake shops with the remaining 100,000 dollars.

She set her sights on the afternoon tea, which is the favorite of ladies. The delicate cakes are mainly natural flavors.

Adding all kinds of pure natural plant spices, she is good at matching teas and cakes of different colors. After she invited ladies to taste it several times, she was unanimously recognized by them.

As a result, sales opened up so easily.

With the network in hand, responsibility for products, and innovation, Lima's exquisite cake shop has become more and more famous in the upper circle.

Mrs. Pang Ma's collection appraisal meeting has become her loyal customer.

There is also a lady's tea party of the Wood family, and some delicious matcha and taro cakes will also be specially ordered.

"Have you ever thought about pairing it with coffee?" During the meal, Li Zitao made a little suggestion.

The top-quality coffee beans from Jamaica's Blue Mountains are selected, freshly ground and brewed by hand, and paired with cakes, it will be welcomed by gold-collars.

Starbucks, Li Zitao intends to start after the Great Depression is over.

After all, drinking coffee is a luxury for Americans who are thinking about how to get enough to eat every day.

But the circle of ladies opened by Lima made him find a new direction. Maybe the ladies who enjoy afternoon tea every day will not mind changing their choice.

It must be a good suggestion to taste the mellow aroma of coffee once in a while.

In addition, Li Zitao is also thinking about whether to make cat poop coffee, elephant poop coffee, and bird poop coffee.

"I will ask someone to provide you with coffee beans, and you can try to do it." It was a surprise for Lima to get Li Zitao's approval and support.

This means that her small business has been recognized by Li Zitao.

Maybe there will be some support in the future, which is really great.

So, Lima immediately cheered up and began to study anything related to coffee, etiquette, and techniques.

The deployment of various coffees, different people's habits of liking different tastes, etc.

For this reason, she also specially invited a lady from country F to taste the coffee prepared and brewed by her.

The other party has a lot of research on coffee, of course, it is limited to tasting this.

...

...

At the end of September, the Blue and White Chamber of Commerce received a call from Seattle.

An employee representative of United Airlines expressed that they wanted to discuss the equity transfer with Li Zitao in detail.

In the SHIELD Club, Li Zitao personally received 3 employee representatives.

"15 dollars, that's the highest price I can give, no one will give more than that."

Because no one can predict how huge the future aviation market will be.

"Your Excellency, we need to know, if we give up our shares, will we be impressed by our work?"

The employee representatives finally accepted the price, but raised some other issues.

"If United takes your piss on you for this, Aerospace is happy to open the door for everyone, and your presence."

Li Zitao opened his hands with a bright smile, just short of directly expressing his meaning.

"We are willing to sell 60 million shares."

60 million shares, 40% of the equity, Li Zitao did not expect them to be so generous, this is an expenditure of 900 million US dollars.

"Boss, you spend money too fast." When the think tank heard the news, all of them turned into bitter faces.

900 million US dollars, they are completely unable to pay, Li Zitao is obviously greedy and greedy.

"How much money can we mobilize?" Li Zitao asked.

"Golden Arch North American revenue, benefited from Subway's second expansion,

Rental income of $340 million, raw material and transportation income of $36 million,

The business expansion in South America and country Y has a total revenue of 180 million US dollars,

But in the land and raw material cultivation base, the investment in transportation has reached 300 million US dollars, and the net income this year is 256 million US dollars. "

"Seth has earned -$4.5 million so far."

"Bechtel's turnover so far is 748 million US dollars, with a net income of 299 million US dollars, which is close to 300 million US dollars, but the later projects still need a lot of investment."

"Standard Oil of Alaska nets $48.7 million."

"The funds that Aegis Motors can mobilize do not exceed $20 million."

"If you just keep the basics, the skunk can pull off $10 million."

Each report is very detailed, and it can be summed up in one sentence: 'I can't afford it. '

"Can Standard Oil of California raise the payment?" The development of Skunk and Aegis cannot be stopped, but Bechtel can think of a way.

For example, increase the proportion of project advance payment and maintain the progress of the project, so that he can withdraw 300 million US dollars.

Adding the Golden Arches and Standard Oil, there are 600 million U.S. dollars, and the funding gap is still 300 million U.S. dollars.

"It's hard." Ben's words clearly indicate that it will take a long time to communicate.

"Boss, if you are willing to give up your shares in UUS, I think this gap can be easily filled." Rush suggested.

Sell ​​shares in UUS, U.S. Steel?

6% of the shares are enough to sell for a sky-high price, and Morgan Jr. will never refuse.

But he still doesn't want to let go, which will make him lose his understanding of US Steel's movements.

"A loan is the best solution, whether it's the United National Bank of Chicago, or Wells Fargo, I'm sure they will be happy to provide you with this loan."

This is the most reliable plan at present, unless Li Zitao can disregard the company's development and propose dividends to Fuguo or AD-B.

However, the regret of doing so will greatly damage Li Zitao's image, and make him a "greedy vampire" who people say is squeezing the company. '

And it is extremely easy to cause backlash and protests within the company, so even if he gives up the shares of United Airlines, the think tank does not recommend him to do so.

"Loan." In the end Li Zitao decided to take a loan.

Drawing $500 million from his subsidiaries, Li Zitao first repaid the $400 million loan from the First National Bank of Chicago.

Then he proposed a huge loan of 800 million US dollars to the United National Bank of Chicago.

Although he is a major shareholder in the bank holding company, the Li Group, and the United Nations People's Bank, he still has to follow the normal procedures.

A 40% stake in the Golden Arches provided him with a loan of US$800 million.

The Golden Arches, whose annual income reaches nearly 600 million US dollars, is worth the price. In terms of interest, the monthly interest rate is calculated at 5%.
