Chapter 1350 The only Loser
After hanging up the phone, Zidane called Shi Lei and said with an excited smile: "Mr. Shi, everything is OK, it's completely according to plan. 187.5 billion, it's all ours now." The new Astaire government promised to withhold all the money in these accounts, and those companies will be unfrozen in one month, but each company will be fined more than $500 million."
Shi Lei also smiled slightly and said, "Have you cleaned up your own money?"
Zidane was stunned, and then Shi Lei said: "Of course I don't believe that Mr. Zidane just spent 100 billion US dollars to aid the new government of Ta'yastan, and then divided up the profits of no more than 10 billion US dollars at most. What's more, Besides, you went crazy with me. Your risk-taking does not match the profits you made. I believe you also spent a lot of capital to exchange for old coins."
Zidane was stunned again, then laughed loudly and said: "Mr. Shi, there are still many places where we can cooperate in the future."
"So, your profits are yours, and I don't want to get any. But, since it's cooperation, it's better to be more honest in the future. After all, no matter how secretive it is, there are always traces to follow. What's more, you You should know that there is no way I can’t investigate all of this.”
"This is my problem this time, and I hope Mr. Shi won't mind. I originally thought this was my private matter and I didn't need to explain it to Mr. Shi. But now that I think about it carefully, it was indeed my mistake, and cooperation should indeed be more open and transparent. To make up for my mistake, I will give 30% more to Qixuan UK's valuation and the entire Paris market will have its costs borne by me."
This can be considered a considerable amount of sincerity. After all, large amounts of cash cannot be transferred around at will and must be digested through a series of business methods.
According to gross estimates, Qixuan UK has launched a Series C round of financing. Based on the current valuation of more than 2 billion euros, after a 30% increase, it will definitely exceed 3 billion euros. Zidane will pay nearly 100 million euros more to acquire 10% of the shares in Series C.
At the same time, he is also responsible for the opening costs of the entire French market, which will never be less than 100 million euros.
Even with more than 200 million euros, Shi Lei could accept such a result.
Moreover, what Shi Lei didn't know was that in Zidane's calculations, the castle was worth 200 million euros. Shi Lei will definitely pay back the money, but Zidane does not think so. Neither party knows the other's psychology.
When Shi Lei mentioned this matter on the phone, he didn't really want to get any benefits from Zidane, but since Zidane offered to give it, Shi Lei was disrespectful.
Judging from Zidane's generous spending of up to 200 million euros, his personal benefits from this new and old currency exchange system are at least in the range of billions to tens of billions. In addition, he invested 100 billion U.S. dollars and got at least 20 billion U.S. dollars in profits, Zidane can get more than 30 billion U.S. dollars in profits from this one deal.
Of course, it will take some time for his 100 billion to be returned to his hands, otherwise the Tayastan government will not need their assistance.
With the contribution of the ferryman, the life of the Tayastan government will be much easier, and the speed of repaying money to Zidane and others should also be much faster.
In a win-win situation, the only loser is the ferryman.
As for the owners of black money, Shi Lei didn't even count them. Anyway, the money was illegally obtained and deserved to be drained away.
Shi Lei could certainly imagine that the ferryman, who was forced to the brink of desperation, would definitely try to get rid of the remaining funds that would be unfrozen in a month. He would never give up, so the owner of the black money was almost destined to be Really all money lost.
"I wonder how much the ferryman paid them in advance. Is this the only money they can get back?" Shi Lei thought silently.
Immediately, Shi Lei also made a new request to Zidane.
"Mr. Zidane, let bygones be bygones. As you said, we still have many opportunities to cooperate. I have one more small request."
Zidane was still in a state of excitement and said without hesitation: "Mr. Shi, you said, as long as I can do it, I will never shirk the blame."
Shi Lei said with a smile: "This is really a small matter. Regarding those more than 100 companies, even if you exclude the huge fines and the companies themselves, they are still worth more than 200 billion US dollars. I am very curious about what will happen to that consortium in the end. Dealing with all this, after all, is 200 billion US dollars, and it will be very difficult to clean up this mess. Therefore, I hope you can keep enough contact with the new government of Tayastan. I need to know in advance when they will unfreeze the accounts of these companies. Learned.”
Zidane suddenly took over everything, which is really a trivial thing.
"This is a small problem. In the next two days, I will invite the finance minister of the new Tayastan government to have dinner. By then, I hope Mr. Shi can also attend. I think the two of you should also be able to become very good friends. friend."
Shi Lei knew that this was to put the initiative directly into his hands, so he readily agreed.
But Zidane suddenly thought of a question. He asked: "Mr. Shi, are you trying to make plans for those companies again?"
Shi Lei laughed and said: "Mr. Zidane, you really think highly of me. With two hundred billion US dollars, how can I have such a big appetite? Moreover, I am no better than you. You are protected by the EU and France." Man, how dare I face the wrath of those gang leaders! I just want to take advantage of the opportunity when they sell off those companies, and use the fund to absorb some at a low price. After all, there is still some left. If you put more than 10 billion in the fund, it must be put to some use. "
Zidane didn't quite believe it, but what Shi Lei said made sense. Even if he had the Eyes of Darkness on his back, he would never dare to easily test the wrath of those black money masters.
So far, the entire operation process has almost nothing to do with Shi Lei. At least, the two European and American consortiums cannot find any trace of Shi Lei's involvement.
Shi Lei has been trying his best to disassociate himself from this matter, and there is really no reason to step forward at the last moment.
Maybe he really just wants to buy some companies at low prices - Zidane hung up the phone and thought silently.
Two days later, Shi Lei was invited to have dinner with the Minister of Finance of Tayastan, and the three of them had a pleasant chat with Zidane.
It was after this dinner that Shi Lei confirmed that the US$10 billion that had been accounted for in advance had been transferred to the confidential account in the Swiss bank provided by him.
As for the remaining part, you need to wait until the entire new and old currency exchange system is completed before you can sit down and divide the stolen money into your account.
A rough calculation shows that at 8%, Shi Lei will receive more than 25 billion US dollars. Of course, the remaining 15 billion US dollars can only be kept in the free fund. If Shi Lei wants to cash out, the handling fees will be as high as more than 50%.
Shi Lei will definitely not take it. He still has to keep this money to harvest reputation points.
After leaving Tayastan, Shi Lei returned to London. Qixuan UK announced in a high-profile manner that the Series C financing was settled and the Zidane family would fully invest.
