Luo Minsheng slowly picked up the teapot, started to make tea, and sighed, "This matter is very difficult to handle, and I am also very embarrassed."
"Standard Chartered Bank and Citibank have also contacted us many times, and they have offered various offers at very favorable terms, but I have not agreed to them."
"I didn't tell my boss about this. I only told him that we were discussing with HSBC."
Xu Jiabao took the teapot from Luo Minsheng's hand with a wink and began to pour tea diligently, "I know Brother Sheng wants to help me. Don't worry, as long as you leave this business to me, everything will be easy to negotiate."
"As long as Brother Sheng helps me get through this difficult time, I can just ask you if I have anything to do in the future, and I will go through fire and water without hesitation!"
"It's not impossible to leave it to you, but I'll say something ugly first." Luo Minsheng suddenly said with a serious face, "HSBC must come up with a very sincere plan, otherwise I won't be able to explain it to the boss."
"Brother Sheng, don't worry about this." Xu Jiabao immediately patted his chest and assured, "Even if we are not as good as Citibank and Standard Chartered Bank, we won't be too far behind."
"Very good, then I'll wait for your new plan to come out." Luo Minsheng smiled, "I just don't know if you can afford a billion dollars."
"Of course, no problem!" Xu Jiabao said confidently, "I can afford another billion dollars!"
Luo Minsheng stretched out his hand, "Then first I wish us a happy cooperation!"
Xu Jiabao stood up quickly, stretched out his hands, held Luo Minsheng's hand respectfully, and said gratefully: "I cannot thank you enough for your kindness, Brother Sheng, I will remember this kindness."
Luo Minsheng laughed in his heart and didn't take Xu Jiabao's words to heart at all.
If people in finance really believe in the promises made by people, then the whole family will be on the verge of reaching the rooftops.
Xu Jiabao left happily, and Luo Minsheng picked up the phone, "Boss, HSBC wants to eat up all one billion."
"You have a good appetite?" Qin Yi was a little surprised, "Since they are so hungry, let's feed them first."
"What about Standard Chartered Bank?" Luo Minsheng hesitated, "Do you want to reject them?"
"No rush." Qin Yi smiled slightly, "First stabilize Standard Chartered Bank and tell them that there is a second batch. The second batch can be given to them."
"Ah?" Luo Minsheng was a little surprised.
Is there a second batch of this stuff?
…
After Xu Jiabao walked out of Luo Minsheng Investment Company, he quickly got into a car.
"Boss, the deal is almost settled." Xu Jiabao said respectfully, "One billion US dollars will be handed over to us."
A bald old ghost looked at Xu Jiabao expressionlessly, "What does he want?"
"He wants us to come up with a new preferential plan and give an explanation to his boss." Xu Jiabao carefully looked at the old ghost in front of him, "We haven't discussed the benefits in private yet. I will talk about it verbally. It shouldn't happen.
It’s too much.”
Mr. Gui nodded slightly, showing a satisfied look, "Xu, you did a good job. The general manager position will be yours next year."
"This is what I should do, Mr. Davis." Xu Jiabao said flattered, "Thank you for your promotion."
"You have to continue to work hard and sell financial products as soon as possible after the loan is released." Davis looked at Xu Jiabao with sharp eyes, "This billion dollar loan will at least leverage the US$5 billion pool. Can you
Can it be done?"
"I will try my best!" Xu Jiabao nodded immediately.
"Very good." Davis stretched out his hand and said, "You can go down now."
"Ah." Xu Jiabao's face froze, and then he forced a smile, "Okay, bye Mr. Davis."
With a humble expression, Xu Jiabao said goodbye to Davis and got out of the car, watching the car go away with a smile.
"Fake!" Xu Jiabao spat fiercely at the disappearing car, "You damn old man, one day I will climb on your head and let you eat my exhaust fumes."
Xu Jiabao was very angry. If it hadn't been for the devil's mischief, how could there have been so many bad things happened to HSBC in the past two years?
Due to the lack of funds in the bank, there were even bank runs in the past few months.
The run caused by the fake U.S. dollar incident almost bankrupted HSBC.
The Federal Reserve Bank of America even sent people to investigate and fined HSBC a large amount of money.
HSBC not only had to bear the loss of US$500 million in counterfeit banknotes, but also had to pay a huge fine.
In addition, Hugerson misappropriated foreign exchange reserves, the stock market server was down, and a series of heavy blows.
This caused the entire Hong Kong banking and financial system to collapse. HSBC fell to the ground and vomited blood under this combination of punches.
If the mainland hadn't taken action and given a sum of U.S. dollars to the Hong Kong Monetary Authority, Hong Kong's financial system would really be doomed.
Other banks have recovered, but HSBC is still lying on the ground.
When the Huang family borrowed 3 billion to redeem others, it was easy for the Huang Bancheng family to die, but the loan could not be recovered.
The Huang family's property was quickly divided up by other tycoons in Hong Kong, leaving nothing behind. The remaining Huang family simply refused to accept the debt and ran away with the dissolution money from the seller's property.
All three billion were wasted, and then the underground treasury was looted.
Coupled with the loan sharking scandal, HSBC also lost a lot of money.
Why did the loan sharking boom cause HSBC to suffer losses?
That's because loan sharks don't use their own money to lend money, they also take money from banks.
HSBC was really anxious, so Xu Jiabao had to beg Luo Minsheng in a low voice.
It is really a last resort.
…
"Gentlemen, our company has been registered in the Virgin Islands and is officially named Yintianyuan Biotechnology Company." Qin Yi raised his wine glass, "The company's first scientific research funds have been transferred to the account of the Institute of Biology.
A total of 100 million US dollars."
"The latest news from the institute is that they will soon complete their phased goals. This will be a great breakthrough in the history of human science and technology."
The wealthy people present were beaming with joy and burst into applause.
Li Wenyao, the Southeast Asian tycoon sitting in the front row, suddenly raised his hand and asked seriously, "Now that we have achieved results, can we talk about investment and equity allocation?"
Qin Yi smiled and said, "Of course, if you need anything, we can talk now."
Zheng Jiakang, a rich man with heart disease, coughed a few times and said with a smile: "If we don't talk about it now, when do you plan to talk about it?"
"I see that you are not active in our investment at all. You don't want to leave us and go it alone."
Qin Yi laughed, "Mr. Zheng misunderstood, I am not the kind of person who eats alone. I have always believed in making money together."
"I think when doing business, you have to be bold and ruthless, but you have to be steady in doing things, otherwise how can you be worthy of investors?"
"My plan is to wait until the research institute officially produces results before talking to you about investment. This way, the risk will be smaller and more secure."
"It's very safe," Li Wenyao sneered, "but at that time, the valuation of this project was no longer a billion dollars."
Many of these rich people are veterans who have been fighting in shopping malls. How could they not understand Qin Yi's thoughts?
If you invest before the project fails and invest after it succeeds, the funds and shares are completely different.
Qin Yi didn't feel embarrassed at all, "I told everyone when I introduced it, this project is risky, and the continued investment will be a lot of money."
"I only asked for 100 million U.S. dollars upfront, just to test the waters first, and then we can talk about it after we get some results."
"Now that the project has not yet produced results, we have to add a second round of investment, which is difficult to do."
"After all, it is one billion US dollars, not one billion yen. Everyone should be careful when investing."
"It's difficult?!" Zheng Jiakang said with an unhappy expression, "Before, you told us that you wanted to facilitate cooperation with the research institute
A specialized company was established."
"I recently heard that your company has been working overtime and sorting out various paperwork from top to bottom. Are you preparing to go public?"
As soon as he finished speaking, there was an uproar in the hall, and the faces of the rich people present suddenly became ugly.
Someone who couldn't hold himself back immediately stood up and asked loudly: "Zhao, what do you mean?"
"Why didn't the company notify us that it planned to go public?"
"We are investors and shareholders! We have the right to know!"
"Where do you plan to list? What's the valuation? How many shares do you plan to issue?"
"If Mr. Zheng doesn't tell you, are you planning to keep it secret from us?"
Li Wenyao was so furious that he immediately shouted, "How can the company be listed without our consent?"
Qin Yi quickly raised his hand and pressed it down, "Don't argue, don't be angry, don't say anything that is not conducive to unity."
"The company's listing is part of the plan. I've said it before, we can't just let everyone invest money, we must give everyone some returns."
"Of course, the company will not be listed immediately, at least until everyone thinks it is appropriate."
It's only right that the faces of the rich look a little better.
I haven't released the news yet to which market? At least I have to wait until the news gets hyped before I talk about ringing the bell.
What's more, all of them together only account for 10% of the shares. How can you give away such a small share to a beggar?
At least we have to wait until they take the majority share before talking about listing.
"What did you say in the second round?" Zheng Jiakang asked, "Now tell me frankly and clearly."
"The second round valuation is RMB 5 billion, and we are preparing to raise RMB 2 billion." Qin Yi raised four fingers, "Release 40% of the equity."
"Five billion?!"
The wealthy people present all frowned. They were indeed optimistic about this project, but now that they were talking about a valuation of five billion, how could they believe it?
【In view of the general environment,
Qin Yi smiled when he saw the expressions of the rich people below, and said calmly: "I planned to talk about the second round of valuation after the results are published, just to make this valuation more convincing."
"But everyone is a little anxious and insists on letting me say it now."
"It's normal for everyone to have concerns because of the lack of evidence." Qin Yi said with a smile, "It doesn't matter, what we are talking about now is just an intention, and we have to discuss whether to vote or not."
"How do you want to discuss it?" Zheng Jiakang asked, frowning.
"Let's put aside the facts first." Qin Yi raised five fingers, "Let's assume this project is worth five billion. How do you want to invest?"
"Two billion U.S. dollars is too much." Li Wenyao was a little unhappy, "How much do each family have to pay? Almost every family has to pay 100 million U.S. dollars."
Qin Yi chuckled, "Everyone here is the richest man in Southeast Asia. Each of you has a net worth of several billion US dollars. It can be said that you are as rich as any country. To everyone, this 100 million US dollars is just a hair on a cow.
"
"Besides, these 40% of the shares are not entirely given to everyone here." Qin Yi spread his hands, "20% of them have already been pledged by others."
The people present were shocked. 20% of the shares is worth one billion US dollars. Who can make such a big deal?
"It's true or not, I don't believe it!" Li Wenyao blurted out in surprise.
"The investment intention contract has been signed." Qin Yi took out a stack of information, "Due to the need for confidentiality, I will not show it to you, but I can disclose to you that the other party will transfer the money to the company account at any time.
.”
Zheng Jiakang raised his hand to stop others from talking, "In other words, we can only get 20% of the shares."
Qin Yi nodded, "After the second round of financing is completed, we will immediately start the listing plan."
"We are preparing to clone the first suckling
After the animal is born, it will be listed, targeting Nasdaq, and releasing 10% of the outstanding shares."
"The company's valuation is expected to exceed at least US$10 billion. At that time, we will have plans to release good news step by step to increase the company's valuation."
Ten billion dollars?!
The wealthy people present took a deep breath.
"We are very optimistic about the market prospects and expect to grow the company to more than 50 billion in ten years." Qin Yi said with confidence, "The 21st century is the century of biology. The development of biotechnology will completely conquer human diseases. In this era,
Under this trend, US$50 billion is far from the company’s value limit.”
"Our goal is to increase the company's market value to US$100 billion within twenty years."
"Our plan is to take five steps. The first step is to clone mammals, sheep, pigs, and dogs. The second step is to clone primates. The third step is to cultivate embryonic stem cells from cloning. The fourth step is to create organs. The fifth step is to clone mammals.
It's human embryo cloning."
"This is only the first ten-year plan. The second ten-year plan will carry out gene editing projects."
Seeing Qin Yi energetically describing a beautiful vision on the podium, the rich people in the audience were filled with excitement.
Overcoming diseases, good health, and a market value of hundreds of billions of dollars, everything in the future is so wonderful.
Of course, the rich didn't just start dreaming after listening to Qin Yi's speech, they started dreaming in conjunction with the good news that kept coming from the research institute.
Stimulated by constant good news, it seems that the bright future described by Qin Yi is being realized step by step.
The future is within reach.
...muda
In a hospital in Edinburgh, China.
Hong Wen just slowly opened his eyes, and there was a regular beep from the heart monitor next to him.
The monotonous sound of the machine sounded so pleasant to his ears, which meant that his brother's heart was beating powerfully.
