Chapter 704 A Better Way

Perhaps eager to make money, Yang Cheng read a book in the study for a while, and within an hour, he heard the sound of helicopter propellers "rumbling" from far to near.

The security room of the manor connected the helicopter's radio, and after confirming the identity of the other party, they sent someone with a fluorescent baton to direct the helicopter to land near the apron.

Standing in front of the window of the study, Yang Cheng watched the helicopter slowly approaching, and said in his heart, "It seems that William is poor and crazy, and he still has money to rent a helicopter?"

Downing Street will not reimburse the royals for private trips, let alone expect pocket money from William's grandmother.

Watching the helicopter start to land, he went downstairs to the door in a leisurely manner. William, who happened to be dressed casually, jumped out of the helicopter and trotted over.

There was an American-style chest bump with Yang Cheng, and he said out of breath, "Your place is too far away, and the car ride is too long, so it's more convenient to use a helicopter."

Yang Cheng shrugged, "Is it my fault? Is it not your fault? You recommended this castle to me."

William was stunned, it seemed that what Yang Cheng said made sense, he really screwed himself up, and shook his head with a wry smile, "Let's not talk about that, how are you thinking about Glencore? I came here specially to hear the good news. If it's bad news, you'll have to reimburse me for the round trip cost of renting the helicopter."

Yang Cheng rolled his eyes at him, how poor is this?

He patted William on the shoulder and pointed upstairs, "Talk slowly in the study."

He rushed to the servant sent by Carson to dress up the Duke and ordered, "Brew us a cup of authentic Blue Mountain coffee for His Excellency the Duke of Cambridge."

He deliberately used the official title of the Duke of Cambridge to tease William, and also wanted him to relax. This buddy is crazy about money.

William laughed and said nothing, but let go of his impetuous emotions as Yang Cheng thought, put on a calm smile again, and looked around while going up the stairs, "Is the modernization completed here?"

Yang Cheng patted the wooden handrail and nodded, "It has been remodeled a long time ago, but I just arrived today. The effect is good, and the original palace style is not destroyed."

William is the one who has the most say, "That's right, except for some changes in details, it's still the way I remember it on the whole, and it's very much in line with the aesthetics of the royal family."

Yang Cheng smiled, "It's all thanks to Carson. I use this housekeeper very well. Thank you for your recommendation."

William shook his head, "It's his own credit, I don't take credit for it."

The two chatted and came to the study. The servant brought coffee and desserts. In the bright study, they closed the door and chatted about business.

"William, to tell you the truth, my family and I are planning to enter the banking industry, and we will inevitably have to contact the financial management departments of various countries. If I participate in the operation this time, I am afraid that it will cause dissatisfaction among several major countries.

Of course, if the interest is high enough, the above cannot be a reason.

I suggest that we change our thinking, according to the original plan, find a way to get Glencore oil storage, and then sell it to Hua Hin at a high price. "

Yang Cheng truthfully stated his thoughts, without hiding anything, he really thought so, because no matter how you know the inside information, you are still not a banker, and the initiative is not in your hands, so rashly entering the stock market would be risky.

According to Yang Cheng's thinking, it is undoubtedly much safer to be a second-hand businessman and use the oldest means of capital to make money, and he will not offend the consortiums of several major countries at the same time, killing two birds with one stone.

William was stunned for a while, as if he was thinking about the possibility of Yang Cheng's plan.

Indeed, as Yang Cheng said, the stock market is too risky, and even if they bite their teeth and gamble, the principal he can get is pitifully small.

The big head still has to rely on David Ellison and Yang Cheng, which is equivalent to passing on the risk to Yang Cheng and David Ellison. It's easy to say if they make money, but what if they lose?

But having said that, when a person is faced with dozens of times the benefits, the temptation he faces is definitely not something that can be lived at a low level with just a few words.

"Don't dare to say anything else, I can guarantee that your bank will not encounter any stumbling blocks when entering Great Britain." William persuaded.

Yang Cheng was speechless, William was now in a dead end, and he had no good way to persuade him, he could only show the most realistic figures and said, "Look, I will do the math for you, the actual situation of Glencore's oil storage business The total value is around 1.5 billion US dollars, we can find a way to get it at a price of 1.4 billion or even lower, and Zheng Jiaxuan’s demand for oil storage business will become more and more vigorous with the stake in Polar Bear Petroleum Company. I think a certain level of premium They won't say no.

There will be at least 200 million US dollars in profit from this entry and exit. After deducting some interest money purchased by me and David, you can completely monopolize the bulk, and the net profit will not be less than 100 million US dollars. William, think about it. Is it you who use your lips to safely put 100 million dollars in your pocket? Or is it better to take unknown risks to fight for the invisible dozens of times the benefits? "

Undoubtedly, Yang Cheng's words moved William. If he had 100 million US dollars in cash, his financial situation would be much easier. With this 100 million US dollars of principal, he could achieve real financial freedom. The current finances are closely related to the royal family.

"If your suggestion works, it's naturally the best choice, but don't forget, I tried to persuade Alex Beard several times before but didn't get good results. Do you have any way to force him to give in? ?” William rubbed his chin and questioned.

Yang Cheng really didn't have time to come up with a plan, but at this moment he was put on fire, and if he didn't want to be cooked, now is the time to use his wit, "I remember you said that BP Petroleum is a shareholder of Polar Bear Petroleum Company? And the Qatari sovereign wealth fund is a shareholder of BP Petroleum?"

William didn't know what Yang Cheng wanted to say, so he followed the words and replied, "That's right~ what's wrong?"

"Aren't you considering lobbying Alex Beard through your BP connections?"

William slapped his forehead and jumped up excitedly, "That's right, why did I forget about this relationship."

Yang Cheng pressed his hands and signaled William not to worry, "And don't forget, no matter what big business Glencore is planning, they can't escape the fact that they have nearly 30 billion US dollars in debt. They urgently need to divest non-core assets to cash out Pay off the debt, so Glencore does not exist and will not be sold, as long as the price is right."

The thinking became clearer and clearer, and Yang Cheng suddenly had a flash of inspiration. He suddenly remembered the Haihang Group of Z Country, which has been buying, buying and buying recently. Do you also want to wave the big stick of cash to improve your industrial layout?

So, he said, "Also, we can't limit our target to Zheng Jiaxuan alone, I have ways to find more powerful buyers to compete for Glencore's oil storage business, so as long as you can compete with Alex We've made a deal, and it's a sure thing that we'll make a fortune."

Speaking of Haihang, Yang Cheng swallowed for a while. This is an attractive big cake. Haihang's goal of becoming the world's largest service provider also has many similarities with Yang Cheng's big cultural tourism plan. Unfortunately, this company The background of the group is too complicated, and there are countless people who are envious of it. Yang Cheng has no intention of going in to stir up trouble.

However, the rise of Haihang is nothing short of a miracle. It started with 10 million, and after more than ten years of mergers and acquisitions, its assets have reached 1.6 trillion yuan, and it has entered the world's top 500 rankings.

The reason why HNA is able to make such a big purchase is inseparable from the continuous blood transfusion from the bank behind it. However, once it encounters national policy regulation, such as financial deleveraging, and the bank shrinks the opening of lending, there will inevitably be problems in Haihang's capital flow. In the previous life, relying on bank blood transfusions to buy~buy~buy overseas, a few brothers and sisters, Wanda, Haihang, Fuxing, and Anbang, after the state's regulation, they coincidentally collapsed and went bankrupt.

You must know that Haihang's overall debt scale is as high as about 250 billion yuan. In the past 20 years since its establishment, Haihang has integrated assets through mergers and acquisitions, injected them into listed company platforms, provided supporting financing, maintained relative holdings, and then pledged equity for refinancing. The domestic market has been greatly inflated, and the behavior of buying~buying~buying overseas has demonstrated its aura of local tyrants, which is not false at all. However, the collapse is only between a piece of paper.

Leaving this matter aside for the time being, he turned his gaze back to the study in the Beihai Manor, and after listening to Yang Cheng's suggestion, William put away his ambition for the time being, put his goal in front of him, and didn't think about the extremely risky few things that he couldn't see or touch. With ten times the benefits, he was concentrating on how to deal with Alex Beard. In addition to Yang Cheng's suggestion to put pressure on BP oil as a move, William also considered finding ways from within the royal family.

Yang Cheng didn't bother William, and personally picked up the coffee pot to fill up the coffee for him, while she took a piece of cake and ate it in small bites, thinking about another thing in her mind, to be precise, a person, Julian Assange!

Now he is very close to Julian Assange. This guy is hiding in the Ecuadorian embassy in the UK. If the other party knows that he has come to the UK, how should he react? Will you reconnect with yourself?

And the little devil in his heart started to move around again. Of course, he restrained himself and didn't let Hansen and the others carry out the assassination. There is no real secrecy in this world. As long as it is artificial, there will be flaws. So Yang Cheng can't take this risk. He is not a politician, so there is no need to send someone to commit murder.

Just when he was wandering, William suddenly slapped his hands, making Yang Cheng tremble, "Jason, I know how to deal with Alex Beard, you just wait for my good news, and hurry up Inform David to prepare the funds, I am sure to complete this acquisition in the fastest time, and then we can sell it all over the world to make money."

Yang Cheng didn't know what good idea William had thought of that made him so excited, but it was better than falling into a dead end and not hitting the south wall without looking back.

With a free and easy smile, "It's no problem. David managed to find a way to raise a few hundred million dollars. It's not a problem. You can go ahead and talk, and wait for your good news."
