Chapter 1357 Deep Sea Private Equity

Text Chapter 1357: Deep Sea Private Equity

On February 23, the Grammy Awards ceremony was held.

"Best rap album goes to: the slim shady lp! Eminem! Congratulations!"

"Best Newcomer: Christina Aguilera!"

"Album of the Year: Supernatural! Carlos Santana!"

In Bedford Hills, New York, Song Ya and Mariah Carey were lying side by side on the sofa watching TV. Sure enough, if no one went, he would not even want to win a trophy. This year, he scored zero in three mentions.

At the end, he and Mariah Carey pouted so much that they could hang oil bottles.

"Hmph, it looks like you have to continue scolding them." Mariah Carey didn't even have a nomination, she angrily raised the remote control to turn off the TV, instigated.

"It's not good to scold someone too harshly. That's calling for reform."

Song Ya replied. Then they smirked tacitly with their ex-wife.

"Boss..." He was rolling on the sofa when someone knocked on the door, it was Ms. Sloan.

"What's the matter?" Song Ya asked.

"Peter."

"Okay." This is the most important business right now, Song Ya packed up and went out immediately.

Peter was elected poorly in February. Polls show that he only ranks fourth to fifth among all primary candidates. The media and the party caucus are deliberately ignoring him. Negative jokes make jokes and laugh at clowns.

There is only one week left until Super Tuesday at the beginning of next month, when 16 states will start primary elections at the same time, and his chances of hitting the third-ranked candidate are slim as campaign funds are not going well.

"Peter, Alicia."

The general election was very expensive, and Peter's campaign team rented a small frontage in Tribeca from the limited funds to use it as the office of his New York campaign branch, which is close to Wall Street.

Peter’s proposal for a small government inevitably tends to relax financial regulation. This should gain the favor of some Wall Street people, and the effect is also very small. If he can be ranked third in the party after elections in Iowa and other bellwether states, the situation should be will be very different.

Unfortunately, there is no if...

It’s not far from my home in Tribeca. Song Ya and the old Mike who drove here are very familiar with it. They drove there in the dark. Old Mike saw Peter’s charming smile on the campaign poster on the street and gave directions. Park your car on the side of the street.

"Aplus, Ms. Sloan, welcome. Let me introduce you, Eli, you know him. This is the branch manager in charge of our New York campaign..."

This is a very 'simple' campaign office, with temporary workstations, a large number of telephones, posters, ribbons, national flags, and nothing but essential facilities such as toilets. Licia brought her campaign manager Eli, legal counsel, media consultants and others to wait for his arrival.

"Hello Eli, hello..." Song Ya quickly got out of the car skillfully, walked into the campaign office with Sloan one after the other, with smiles on their faces, and Peter, Alicia and others Shake hands and say hello.

If the high-level executives of the campaign branch were not some powerful local campaign promoters or political brokers, or important local political and business allies or relatives, Peter had no foundation in New York, and the person he was looking for was only an insignificant role according to Sloan.

"How's the situation?" Sloan asked Peter.

"Not good." Peter was very honest, shrugging freely and unabashedly.

Song Ya smiled and nodded without saying anything. In fact, Sloan has always opposed Peter's team spending precious money in New York. She denounced it as a waste. She had also explicitly suggested her election strategy to Peter, but it didn't seem to have any effect.

Yesterday, Peter’s campaign team insisted on holding a fundraising dinner at a hotel near Central Park, which confirmed her judgment. It is said that the people present were all casual people wandering around Wall Street, eating and drinking, or simply financial scammers.

Internet and technology stocks have been in negative decline for more than a month.

Both Wall Street and Silicon Valley have unlimited expectations for Al Gore, but why do bigwigs like Carl Icahn who are tempted by the so-called small government line support him, and the party is obviously more appropriate.

Peter's contacts and background are not bad in Chicago and Cook County, but it is too bad nationwide. Naturally, there is no comparison with the Georgian Dynasty on the Elephant Party's side. Even Senator McCann, who was ranked second in the Elephant Party's primary election It is far from equal.

Mike Enzu was a great slave owner in the South. Both his grandfather and father worshiped as admirals. His sister married Henry Morgan Jr. His ex-wife was an assistant to Mrs. Reagan and was in charge of the White House visitors. His current wife was born in Anheuser-Busch AB InBev A large family of distributors in Arizona.

This is called the bottom line.

The self-made Peter chose to spend a lot of resources in New York, which has no roots and connections, which shows that he already has a strong gambler mentality and hopes to raise huge campaign funds in one fell swoop.

He must come with good conditions that can impress some companies and individuals on Wall Street, but with his difficult primary election status...it is difficult to impress Wall Street, this is not a place where people are stupid and rich.

It also means Peter can't keep his cool, which Sloan warns is a sign of a politician out of control.

"Go in and talk."

After the greetings, Alicia and Sloan fell into embarrassment for a while. Alicia and Sloan walked to a distance and talked in a low voice. Song Ya sent Eli and Peter's subordinates who were laughing with him with a few words, as if they didn't plan to stay for too long.

Peter then opened the door of his personal office and extended an invitation.

"OK."

Song Ya followed in. It was just a small room that was simply partitioned, with a glass door, which could be seen clearly from inside and outside, and it shouldn't be too soundproof.

There were only the two of them left. Song Ya lowered her voice and asked Peter straight to the point, "Has Underwood contacted you?"

Fortunately, Gore and Daley Jr. have offered the terms of persuasion through the middleman Underwood. It sounds harsh, but it is actually not bad. Peter resigned as governor on the pretext of fully participating in the general election, and then on Super Tuesday After a disastrous defeat and a decent withdrawal from the election, the Kozko case that has reached the Illinois Supreme Court cannot be dealt with, but the election fraud case that is still in the grand jury stage, and Kozko’s death that is still in the criminal investigation stage will not be repeated. embarrass him.

Kozko, the main witness in the Kozko case, himself died, and Peter will probably be able to escape, at least the second prison sentence should be exempted, and then... enter a "one-way revolving door" that will never come back That's it.

"I've talked to him, but...it's unacceptable." Peter tidied up the family photo frames on the table and shook his head.

"Can you tell me about your concerns?"

Song Ya felt a little irritated when she heard the words. The reason why she felt that "this condition is not bad" is because it is in her own interest to Peter to soften. The profit camp has let go, and won 34.5% of that bank and 83% of the newly established First Investment Bank of New Jersey for 128 million. At the same time, those politicians also promised to pay the bank Low-key provides a total of no less than $80 million in federal guarantees to help alleviate the bad debt rate.

34.5% is enough to control the bank with extremely dispersed equity, and the buyer is not entirely Song Ya himself, but a new private equity fund established by him, his old business partners Northern Trust, and cna Insurance: Deep Sea Private Equity.

Of course, the premise of all this is that Peter backs down. If Peter does not withdraw from the selection of Daley Jr., it is impossible to rest assured that the deal will be concluded.

"At that time, I will become a lamb at their slaughter. Believe me aplus, if I agree to this condition, I will be sent to prison in the next second. I understand them..." Peter replied.

Song Ya adjusted her breathing to conceal her impatience.

Xin said that the reason for all this is not that you didn't choose Peter well? My contribution is not unlimited. After all, am I going to re-establish a good relationship with the future commander?

My counterattack against Daly's tearing up the tacit understanding last time has been compromised. If I accompany you all the way to the dark, the anger of Gore and Daly after the incident is not easy to bear, and I don't have to bear it.

Not to mention procrastination, there are only a few months before the middle of the year, and an investment bank must be obtained before the merger of Vivendi Universal is approved by the two governments. That long-planned plan is not only about revenge, but also about It's about making money.

Is the reason why I feel restless because my net worth has dropped a lot from the high point at the beginning of the year due to the downturn in the stock market? "Underwood's promise should be trustworthy." Song Ya persuaded.

"Really?" Peter looked at him meaningfully, "I don't think so."

Well, that Underwood guy is indeed 'bad', this is just the first bargaining, there is still some time and space, Song Ya asked: "Then what do you mean..."

"Let's talk about it after Super Tuesday." Peter didn't counter the offer, but he seemed to have made up his mind.

"Okay, that's fine."

The two of them didn't need to waste much time talking, and Song Ya didn't want to talk too much. After getting the exact answer, he left the campaign office like a whirlwind.

"He said it would wait until after Super Tuesday."

After staying here for about a quarter of an hour, Song Ya told Sloan after getting in the car: "Just answer Underwood like this."

"Eli and Alicia just hinted to me that Peter's campaign funds are about to run out." Sloan reported the results of the communication outside just now.

"I won't give you any money, so let's delay it, and we'll talk about it later."

Song Ya looked at the skyscrapers lined up in Manhattan outside the car window, "Anyway, there is only one week left, maybe someone on Wall Street is willing to help him fill in the hole?"

Sloan knew him too well, and he immediately heard the ambiguity in his words, "It seems that the conversation is not going well? Have a temper?"

"I hope this guy stays sane." Song Ya glanced back at Peter's handsome old-school movie star Fan's face on the campaign poster, and murmured.

"Your." Old Mike handed over the phone from the front.

"I just got the Oscar nomination list!" Yeremov's excited tone came from the other end.

"Wow……"
