Andy Morgan is working in an office in Manhattan, frowning. Apparently, he's been having some problems lately.
With the Eastern United States Consortium, the Rockefeller Family, and the Gold Consortium each having good relations with the Hehua Consortium, it would be difficult for him alone to overcome the erosion from the vibrant Chicago Consortium. Now the important business of the Morgan family: New York Life Insurance Company is facing the acquisition of Cina (a) Financial Company.
New York Life Insurance Company has approximately US$200 billion in assets and good profitability. The acquisition led by Marvin Crown was not to use $200 billion in funds, but to merge Cina(a) Financial Company with New York Life Insurance Company. Wall Street would love to facilitate such a powerhouse deal.
After the merger, the Morgan family¡¯s voice in the new insurance company is bound to be weakened. There are already some voices of dissatisfaction with him within the Morgan family.
Andy Morgan met with several executives of American United Investment Holdings Co., Ltd. (aui). Near noon, the butler West opened the door of the office and walked in, "Andy, Ms. Ross is waiting for you to come for dinner. "
Ms. Ross is Andy Morgan¡¯s new girlfriend.
Andy Morgan raised his head from behind his desk and waved his hand gently, "No! West, how do you think an will acquire New York Life Insurance?"
Wester micro -signs and comforted: "Andy, An just shows the intention of acquisition, they may not be able to acquire success!"
Andy Morgan put down the pen in his hand, opened the drawer, took out a cigar, trimmed it and lit it: "No, West, I understand Lu Jing's style. He said acquisition. It will definitely be acquired."
West thought for a while and said: "AN's assets are only about 50 billion US dollars. If they want to merge with New York Life, they must either provide part of the funds or increase their holdings of New York Life's shares, so as to maintain control. Our countermeasures, It can only be an increase in holdings.¡±
In the U.S. Many listed companies do not have poison pill plans. Because the poison pill plan means that the company is not a company willing to share with investors. Such companies generally have low stock prices. New York Life did not set up a poison pill opportunity. If the Morgan family wants to maintain their influence over New York Life, they must increase their holdings immediately. There is no other way.
The Morgan family holds a total of 25.6% of the shares in New York Life through various companies and funds, both overt and covert. However, with the prospect of the merger between AN and New York Life being generally optimistic, it is very difficult for the Morgan family to lobby New York Life's shareholders to reject the merger with AN. Note that New York Life's profits last year were only about $1 billion. Shareholders all hope to have adequate investment returns.
"Why didn't I know?" Andy Morgan sighed. The first is his huge loss of US$50 billion in the Warren Group's transactions. He sold a considerable part of his high-quality assets: shares in Android, Paypal, eaby and other companies.
??Then Marvin Krone took the opportunity to reverse infiltration and acquire shares of the financial company Continental Illinois Company. He could have resisted. But GM came crashing down. This makes the Morgan family feel the pain.
¡°Then, Frank Pittman, the chairman of J.P. Morgan Chase, turned against him. This made him suddenly feel a little powerless in raising funds. Allies such as the Eastern United States Consortium expressed alienation from him again. U.S. manufacturing has struggled amid the financial crisis. This includes a series of businesses owned by the Morgan family.
Therefore, it is quite difficult for him to raise huge amounts of funds now.
"I will mobilize 10 billion US dollars to invest in it. If you can increase your voice, increase your voice."
After Lu Jing attended the Sino-US Strategic and Economic Dialogue meeting, he returned to the capital with his team. On the afternoon of May 21, he received a call from Marvin Crown at home, "Mr. Lu, I'm ready. Do you want to come to the United States to host this acquisition?"
Lu Jing smiled and touched his daughter Lu Qionghua¡¯s head, holding his cell phone and saying: "Marvin. I believe in your ability!"
"Okay. Uh, Mr. Lu. After the acquisition is successful, you must come to the United States to attend the celebration banquet."
Lu Jing smiled and said, "Okay. I will definitely go when the time comes."
After hanging up the phone, Lu Jing casually threw the phone on the sofa in the living room at home. Although his home is said to have a courtyard layout, it is actually decorated in a modern style.
Wei Wanyi, who was sitting by the window and reading a book, smiled gently and said, "Lu Jing, are you busy with something else?"
"It's okay. Wanyi, it's a small matter!" Lu Jing smiled slightly and continued to ask his daughter to read and read.
Ye Jingyu is in New York. Her Rainbow Foundation represented Hehua in the acquisition.
Marvin Crown put down the phone, walked to the window of the Cosmopolitan Hotel, and admired New York City in the early morning.?Beautiful view.
He is about to preside over a super takeover. If the acquisition is successfully completed. He will become famous and become a tycoon in the American financial world. This made some thoughts wander.
The fat Jonathan Wood was drinking coffee to refresh himself, looking at the back of his friend, "Marvin, how sure are we that we can take a dominant position in the acquisition?"
It is not a question of whether the acquisition can be successful. Wall Street's major banks, JPMorgan Chase, Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, Citigroup and HSBC, have all expressed the idea of ??providing funds. The question now is whether the Chicago consortium will be able to control New York Life Insurance Company after the merger.
"Seven points!"
Marvin Crown turned around and said firmly.
Jonathan Wood was a little surprised, "Do we have so much money?"
Marvin Crown smiled enigmatically, "Jonathan, you'll know in two days."
On May 1, Monday morning, New York time, the first thing Blackstone Group¡¯s EO Jonathan Gray did in the office was to ask his secretary and Blackstone¡¯s senior partner in charge of investment to confirm how much money had been raised for the newly established acquisition fund.
"Jonathan, we have raised $1.5 billion to participate in the merger between AN and New York Life."
"Good!" Jonathan Gray nodded appreciatively. In the financial market, US$1.5 billion can be used to obtain up to US$30 billion of funds through leverage. It is enough to participate in this merger.
Because Blackstone Group is controlled by Hehua Group, it has many conveniences for investing in the Chinese mainland market.
In the current situation where the global economy is sluggish and the Chinese economy is thriving, Blackstone Group is quite popular on Wall Street. They hope to get a share of China's economic boom.
And Jonathan Gray became famous because he successfully listed Hilton Hotel Group and earned $8.5 billion in profits for Blackstone Group. A solid position in Blackstone. He has also become a new generation leader in Wall Street investment.
New news comes every once in a while about the merger of Cina(a) Financial Company and New York Life Insurance Company. Mainly, New York Life shareholders had questions about how many shares of the new company would be redeemed for each share and how much dividends would be paid out per share.
Now everyone knows that the Chicago consortium behind Cina(a) Financial Company is rich! Why don't you hurry up and get more?
Bruce Fulinming, who made a small fortune at Daniel Motor Company, came to New York from Miami like a fishy cat.
He met with Leonard Rockefeller.
In a luxurious and bright apartment. Bruce Fulimin shook hands with Leonard Rockefeller. His wife Amanda made two cups of coffee and brought them over.
"Long time no see, Leonard, you look more energetic." Old Fulinming sat on the sofa and said with a smile.
"Thank you for the compliment. Bruce, why did you come to see me?" Leonard Rockefeller accepted Old Fulinming's compliment calmly, but changed the subject. Asked Lao Fulinming directly the reason for his visit.
In fact, if it weren¡¯t for the fact that he was Jessica¡¯s father, Leonard Rockefeller would really be too lazy to pay attention to him. With his current position in the Rockefeller family, there is really no need to meet a rich man with a net worth of less than 5 billion US dollars.
Old Fulinming laughed awkwardly and said: "Ha, I'm actually here to ask you whether it is more cost-effective to buy the stocks of Cina Financial Company or the New York Life Insurance Company?"
Leonard Rockefeller smiled and said frankly: "Bruce, all the funds on Wall Street are buying New York Life Insurance Company shares now, so. What do you think?"
Naturally, the Rockefeller family¡¯s funds have entered the market under his leadership, amounting to approximately US$40 billion.
Old Fulinming understood immediately.
New York.
In a certain club, Danny Hill, Nelson, and Connry Bernard of the Eastern United States Consortium were sitting together sipping red wine.
The elegant clubhouse box is full of dark style.
Danny Hill smiled and asked Connly Bernard, "Connly, have you decided to participate?"
Connley-Bernard nodded. "This deal can be done."
Danny Hill smiled and nodded.
Nelson shook the wine glass in his hand, his face looking a little gloomy under the dim light. He smiled and said: "A declining Morgan family is in the interest of our eastern consortium."
After the merger, the new New York Life Insurance Company may be comparable to the insurance giant Berkshire Hathaway (Buffett). But the deal probably won't make much money. A few billion dollars at most. The Eastern Consortium decided to invest because it was a strategic investment.
In June, Cina(a) Financial Company merged??When the New York Life Insurance Company's transactions were in full swing, Ye Jingyu seemed very leisurely in New York. Take a look at your financial statements, or relax with a book.
This morning, she fell asleep in the Cosmopolitan Hotel in New York and didn't get up. But she received a call from Xu Xue in Hong Kong, "Jingyu, how are you in New York?"
Ye Jingyu knew what Xu Xue was going to ask and smiled: "Sister Xue, take a multi-pronged approach. You're sure of it. Marvin Crown's ability is directly proportional to his loyalty to Lu Jing!"
Xu Xue, president of Hehua Bank, made Ye Jingyu smile, "Okay, pretend I didn't ask anything." Hehua Bank provided financing services to Marvin Krone. About $50 billion. Standard Chartered Bank, Rainbow Fund, and Blackstone were all directly involved in the acquisition. She is more concerned about whether the deal can be successful.
Ye Jingyu giggled and rolled comfortably on the bed. A pair of narrow black lace panties was looming under the soft off-white pajamas, which was enough to make the man who saw her charming look at this time have a nosebleed.
"Sister Xue, don't worry, this is the American version of the Wall Street Fighter. Even if you don't see Lu Jing, you can rest assured that you are on vacation in the capital."
"okay, I get it."
"The acquisition will definitely be successful in July! Haha, I think Andy Morgan may be in trouble. (To be continued.) Mobile phone users please visit http://m.piaotia.net
