They are all reborn, and the grandson is still a spare tire

After two and a half days of non-stop negotiations, the negotiations between Jiuye Investment and several state-owned financial institutions to acquire the remaining high-quality assets of Lehman Brothers Bank were finally concluded.

Through this series of negotiations, the two sides reached a package deal agreement.

Both parties are quite satisfied with this result.

Jiuye Investment and the Central State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission acquired a large number of high-quality assets at the lowest price.

Lehman Brothers Bank gained hundreds of billions of dollars and could finally die with satisfaction.

However, they still have to hold on for more than a month before they can file for bankruptcy protection.

Because the last transaction was to be completed on August 15, Lehman Brothers could not go bankrupt until the last transaction was completed and the equity change registration procedures were completed.

This transaction time was set by Yao Yuan in order to coordinate with the opening ceremony of the Beijing Olympic Games.

Of course, others don't know this.

After the negotiations, the two sides held a symbolic joint press conference.

At this press conference, Zhou Chaoyang and Richard only talked about some irrelevant things and perfunctorily responded to various financial media.

For example, Jiuye Investment acquired the Hong Kong branch of Lehman Brothers Bank and the equity of several mainland financial institutions held by Lehman Brothers Bank.

No information was disclosed about the core content of the transaction agreement reached in this negotiation.

These contents need to be kept strictly confidential and cannot be disclosed before all transactions are completed.

All parties involved in the negotiations were required to maintain strict confidentiality.

We can only talk about this matter publicly after Lehman Brothers files for bankruptcy protection.

After the negotiations, Jiuye Investment Group held a grand, private celebration dinner.

Those who attended the dinner included all members from both sides who participated in the negotiations, as well as the Financial Secretary of the Hong Kong government and others. There was no outsider.

As for the dinner process, it was naturally a joyful occasion and both the guests and hosts had a great time.

The celebratory dinner did not end until after nine o'clock in the evening.

Just as Yao Yuan and Director Li were about to leave the banquet hall, Kevin and Joseph came together and found Yao Yuan.

Coming closer, Joseph said politely:

"Hello, Mr. Yao Yuan, we have something we would like to discuss with you in private. Is that possible?"

Yao Yuan looked at the two foreigners, smiled and nodded.

"Of course, Mr. Joseph, but I hope Mr. Li can also participate in this conversation"

"We are partners. We should not avoid each other when talking to you. I need Mr. Li to witness this conversation."

As he said this, he raised his hand and gestured to Director Li.

Joseph paused, then exchanged glances with Kevin, and then nodded in agreement.

"No problem, Mr. Li is very welcome to join this conversation"

Looking at Director Li again, he smiled and nodded.

He knew very well what Yao Yuan meant.

This is obviously to avoid suspicion and to prevent these foreigners from playing any shady tricks.

Afterwards, Yao Yuan and Director Li took Jiang Meihui, Joseph and Kevin to the lounge next door to prepare for the conversation.

Seeing this scene, everyone else at the scene was full of curiosity.

Only Paulson's chief assistant and vice president of the SEC committee did not seem surprised, as if they knew the general content of the conversation.

After entering the lounge, as soon as everyone sat down, Joseph got straight to the point.

"Mr. Yao, the reason we invited you to talk privately is to ask if Jiuye Investment has any plans to go public in New York?"

"If you have plans to go public in New York, we can help you with this matter, and we can ensure that we can help you list on the New York Stock Exchange as quickly as possible."

"As for the listing sponsor, you can choose any one on Wall Street, whether it is Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, or other investment banks, there is no problem."

“Once Jiuye Investment Group successfully lands on the New York Stock Exchange, it will surely be enthusiastically pursued by all investors and investment institutions, which will be of great benefit to your development.”

As they said this, Joseph and Kevin stared at Yao Yuan with shining eyes, expecting to hear the best answer.

However, deep in their eyes, a hint of greed flashed from time to time.

After hearing this, Yao Yuan suddenly realized.

The reason these two foreigners called me over was to persuade me to list Jiuye Investment Group in New York.

Once Jiuye Investment Group is listed in New York, will you bastards be able to take advantage of various rules and easily control Jiuye Investment Group?

Go ahead and dream on. I’m not stupid. Do I have to put myself on your chopping board and wait to be killed?

Director Li, who was sitting next to him, couldn't help but flash a trace of worry in his eyes after hearing what Joseph said.

Considering the size and importance of Jiuye Investment Group, going public is no joke, and it will definitely have a ripple effect on the entire group!

Not to mention listing in the United States, which is a major matter involving national financial security.

Even though Yao Yuan is the founder and helmsman of Jiuye Investment Group, this matter is not something he can decide alone.

Whether Jiuye Investment Group can go public and where it can go public must be discussed at a meeting, and it must be the highest level meeting.

Only if it is passed at the ZZJCW meeting can this matter be implemented.

Yao Yuan turned his head to look at Director Li and gave him a look that said, "Don't worry, I know the seriousness of this matter."

Then he turned to look at Joseph, smiled and said:

"Going public in the U.S.? That sounds interesting, but I want to ask, what do you want to gain from inviting Jiuye Investment Group to go public in the U.S.?"

"We Chinese have an old saying, 'Nothing will happen without profit.' This is a very normal thing in business, so I want to understand the demands of your two families."

"puff"

Jiang Meihui chuckled and quickly translated the words.

Director Li, who was sitting next to him, almost laughed out loud and managed to hold it back with great difficulty.

The next moment, Joseph and Kevin's faces turned red, and they were both a little embarrassed.

This cunning little fox is always so direct, regardless of whether others can accept it or not!

Can't you learn from other Chinese gentlemen? You'll die if you speak more tactfully!

In a flash, Joseph and the others adjusted their emotions and then stated their true purpose.

"You're right, Mr. Yao, we do have something to ask for, and it's true that there's no such thing as a quick rise without benefit!"

"Let me put it this way. The condition for us to help Jiuye Investment Group go public on the New York Stock Exchange as quickly as possible is that we will buy shares in Jiuye Investment Group."

"Our two families are very optimistic about the development prospects of Jiuye Investment Group, and we appreciate your outstanding abilities even more, so we want to invest in Jiuye Investment Group and develop together."

"There are many ways to invest. The first way is that we can invest in Jiuye Investment Group during its listing process, such as investing as a strategic investor."

"The second way to invest is that after Jiuye Investment Group goes public, we can invest in it through a private placement. The third way is to invest in it through equity exchange."

"We hold shares in many top financial institutions and listed companies, and have a very strong influence, which can help Jiuye Investment Group form alliances with other top financial institutions."

"These top financial institutions include Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley, BlackRock and Vanguard, JPMorgan Chase, Citigroup and Bank of America, etc."

"Let me put it this way. Except for the shares of the Federal Reserve, we can trade a portion of the shares of all other top financial institutions in exchange for the shares of Jiuye Investment Group."

"Given the outstanding profitability of Jiuye Investment, we can offer a high premium, which is absolutely worthwhile for you and will enable Jiuye Investment to better integrate into the international financial market and Wall Street."

"We prefer the third transaction method. Once the transaction is completed, Jiuye Investment Group will not only become the top financial institution on Wall Street, but also a shareholder of other top financial institutions..."

Next, Joseph continued to paint a big picture.

With eloquent words, he painted a bright and wonderful future for Yao Yuan and Jiuye Investment Group.

It’s a pity that his observation ability is average!

Didn't he notice the disdain and contempt that flashed across Yao Yuan's eyes from time to time? That look was as if he was looking at a fool!

It took Joseph two or three minutes to finish his introduction.

Yao Yuan pretended to think for a moment, then shook his head slightly.

"Thank you for your favor, gentlemen. It is our honor to be valued and recognized by the Lehman family and the Rothschild family, which have been passed down for hundreds of years, and want to invest in Jiuye Investment Group."

"But I'm very sorry, we currently have no plans to go public. The main purpose of a company going public is to raise funds and achieve better development."

"Jiuye Investment Group has good profitability and is not short of money at the moment. We do not have an urgent need to go public for financing. It will not be too late to go public when we really need financing."

"As for whether it will go public in the future, where it will go public, whether it will be a partial or full listing, and whether it needs to introduce strategic investors? It's too early to say these questions now."

"Then there is the issue of the market environment. A global financial crisis is about to come. Even if Jiuye Investment Group wants to go public, now is definitely not the right time."

"I am very interested in the equity interests of the top financial institutions on Wall Street that you just mentioned, but I will not acquire the equity interests of these top financial institutions through equity swaps."

"During this global financial crisis, we may have the opportunity to obtain equity in these financial institutions through other channels and methods without having to sacrifice our own equity..."

As he spoke, Kevin and Joseph's teeth clenched little by little.

After hearing this, the two guys almost bit their teeth off.

No matter how stupid they were, they could see it now.

Yao Yuan had already seen clearly what they were planning.

They are being made into fools, how could they be fooled?

In the blink of an eye, more than ten minutes have passed.

The door of the lounge opened, and Yao Yuan, Jiang Meihui, Director Li, Joseph and Kevin came out of the lounge one after another.

However, their expressions are different.

Yao Yuan and the others all had smiles on their faces, seemed very happy, and were talking and laughing.

Joseph and Kevin couldn't laugh at all, their faces were as gloomy as water.

After returning to the banquet hall, everyone greeted each other and left the banquet hall.

As soon as he walked out of the banquet hall, Director Li smiled and whispered:

"The terms of the deal offered by Joseph and his men sound very generous. Why don't you agree?"

Yao Yuan chuckled and said disdainfully:

"Everyone knows what Sima Zhao is thinking. We know exactly what these damn foreign devils are planning!"
