Chapter 254 [Goldman Sachs: Take a shot, gamble, do it! 】
Facing John Braine's decisive rejection, Qiwei smiled calmly and was not in a hurry. He immediately spoke to him in English with a Chinese accent: "Mr. Braine, we dare to do this because we are fully confident. , confidence in victory, don’t panic.”
"To be honest, Mr. Qi, the more you say that, the more panicked I feel. I even regret giving the money to you." John Blaine replied. He really didn't expect Lu Ming to have such a good time.
After a moment, John Blair turned to look at Qiwei and added: "Have you never thought about the consequences of failure?"
Qi Wei looked at the other party's eyes staring straight at him. Not only did he not shy away, he spread his hands and asked: "We have thought about failure, but there is only one possibility of such failure, and that is you stabbing someone in the back. As long as Wall Street doesn't do it behind the scenes, Stab a knife, we will win."
In fact, Qi Wei was also worried about whether he would win, but these words were all explained by Lu Ming. When interviewing with Wall Street people, he must be confident.
Even if your reasoning is unclear, your anger must be strong.
John Brain turned his head speechlessly when he heard this. After a moment, he looked back at Qiwei with helpless eyes and said, "Please, what you said is impossible. I am sniping myself?"
Lu Ming dared to play such a big game because he took a fancy to this point. The main interest in this investment plan was Wall Street. It was Wall Street's own interests that attacked Lu Ming. It doesn't make sense logically.
At this time, Qiwei crossed his legs comfortably and sat in a tall posture. He couldn't lose his aura when he was out. He looked at John Brain and said with a smile:
"In the exact words of our chairman, only by making excess returns can you better package them into marketable securities and sell them. Furthermore, of course, it is impossible for a securities firm of yours to contract $100 billion in leveraged funds. ."
John Braine hesitated to speak.
Qiwei added: "Tian Sheng Capital doesn't have many friends on Wall Street, Mr. Blaine. We need Goldman Sachs to come forward and help us. We can introduce some friends and broaden our access. This is also a way to share the risk equally. What do you think?"
It has to be said that although the risks are huge, the benefits are also huge.
Lu Ming's undefeated record of victory so far really made John Brain's heart agitate. The two sides had gotten to know each other in the original foreign exchange confrontation. Tiansheng QDIE's investment in the US stock market was also quite eye-catching. What made John Brain the most What Blaine values is Tiansheng Capital's trading profits in the international foreign exchange market. No matter which aspect he analyzes, he is sure that he dares to play this way.
What's more, 4.5 billion US dollars have already been invested. There is no such thing as quitting halfway. After some inner struggles, John Brain was heartbroken and said to himself: "Give it a try, take a gamble!"
He wouldn't be so bad that Lu Ming suffered his first defeat right after he started, right?
After a moment, John Brain turned to look at Qiwei and asked: "120 billion US dollars, this is an astronomical figure. In what areas does Mr. Lu intend to invest this money?"
Qiwei put down his legs, sat upright and immediately replied: "I'm sorry, Mr. Blaine, this is related to the interests of all LPs. We will not easily disclose the stocks we want to buy or any other investment targets to anyone before we complete the position building."
Even if a position is established for some investment varieties, the position status will not be disclosed. These confidential investment varieties will use some complex financial tools and operations including vest numbers to ensure that secrets are not leaked or that exposure is delayed.
John Blaine asked casually, not expecting the other party to really say anything. After a while, he pretended to sigh and said: "Okay, I have already boarded your pirate ship, and I can only walk all the way to the dark side."
Yes, Goldman Sachs can provide you with $8.5 billion in new funding."
Qi Wei was overjoyed, but his expression was very calm and calm.
At this time, John Braine looked at him and added: "At the same time, Goldman Sachs can also try its best to bring in some institutions to help you raise $100 billion in leverage funds, but the prerequisite is that you must
There is sufficient reserve margin to ensure the safety of this US$100 billion of funds. Without this guarantee, it will be difficult for us to convince other institutions to lend you money, including Goldman Sachs’ US$8.5 billion!”
Qi Wei nodded happily and replied: "Of course there is no problem. Tiansheng QDIE has abundant cash flow. We have 50 billion US dollars of funds that can be withdrawn from the foreign exchange market for emergencies at any time. It should be more than 50 billion US dollars at this time.
It’s so easy to make money…”
After hearing this, John Brain felt an inexplicable toothache and cursed a few times in his mind.
But then again, these words made him look forward to it. If Goldman Sachs made the right bet this time, it would definitely be a bounty of money.
The two parties have reached a consensus. Goldman Sachs not only agreed to borrow US$8.5 billion in leveraged funds, but also used its own resources to introduce many new friends and institutions to Qiwei in the next few days.
Throughout mid-to-late July, Qi Wei, as an executive of Tiansheng Capital, met various international friends on Wall Street and attended various upper-class drinking parties, dances, etc.
Tiansheng Capital, as a foreigner on Wall Street, an unfamiliar place, met more friends through the friend of Goldman Sachs Group, and it can be said that it has initially opened up a situation among the elites of the United States.
…
At the end of the month, the research team still stayed in the local area to start work. Qi Wei stayed in the United States for a while and temporarily returned to China to report the progress of the work to Lu Ming.
Friday, July 28, President’s Office of Tiansheng Capital Headquarters.
"Leveraged financing is progressing very smoothly. With Goldman Sachs actively promoting the matchmaking, we have reached out to 12 companies including Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, UBS, Deutsche Bank, Nomura Securities, First Securities, and Merrill Lynch.
Brokerages and investment banks have negotiated a financing amount of US$70 billion, and the remaining US$30 billion is also under further negotiation.”
At this moment, Qi Wei, who returned to China yesterday, was reporting to Lu Ming on his work situation in Magnesia.
Facts have proved that after the introduction of foreign-owned LP institutions, Tiansheng Capital entered the North American capital market much more quickly and smoothly, allowing the other party to take the majority of the interests. They were willing to devote corresponding resources to help Lu Ming better develop his investment layout.
.
Although these newly made friends are all friends with benefits, from another perspective, these kind of friends are extremely reliable. Friends can betray or betray them.
But no one will sell out their own vital interests, least of all Wall Street.
"Very good! That means we already have 90 billion U.S. dollars of operational funds. We can start specific investment plans. Research work has to continue, but we can also start specific investment decisions. Time is money!" Lu Ming was very satisfied.
.
The research will still continue, but this is more of a cover for the world to cover up his own advantage of foresight. As for the specific varieties to invest in, Lu Ming has already known at a glance.
