Reborn Capital Empire

Chapter 533 Rejection and Exchange

…

After leaving Roosevelt's house, Guo Shouyun called Rebecca Mark.

"boss!"

"Have you rested yet?"

"No, I'm looking at the information."

"Yeah! ... You bring your team to New York. Unocal's PE round of fundraising is going to be held here."

"Yes! After I deal with the internal affairs of the company, I will rush over tomorrow."

"Don't be in such a hurry, just arrive before August 1."

"clear!"

"Okay, that's all I have to say. Get some rest early!"

"Boss, good night!"

"Good night!"

Got home, turned on the computer, and sent an email to Edward Kennedy, Jeb Bush, as well as Carlyle CEO David Rubinstein and Blackstone CEO Steve Schwartzman. Inform the other party that the Unocal PE tender will be held in New York on August 1.

Just three minutes after his email was sent, the phone on the table rang.

"Bruce, I just read your email, are you going to finance Unocal?"

"David, haven't you seen it already!"

"Hehe, I just want to confirm from you personally."

"Well, it's a fact. Now you can arrange your work and come to New York before the first of August."

"Washington is no more than 380 kilometers from New York, and I can fly there whenever you feel like it."

Guo Shouyun smiled and didn't answer.

"Bruce, what are your conditions for Unocal's financing?"

"Now that the international oil price is soaring, the stocks of major oil companies are quite popular in the market. Therefore, if Unocal goes public, it should also achieve the same price. However, considering that everyone is a friend, I will not ask for too much. 22 times earnings should not be too much!"

Benefiting from high oil prices, companies such as Exxon Mobil, Chevron Texaco, and Continental Oil are now mostly trading at around 25 price-earnings ratios. Each company will have some differences in terms of revenue, profit, and liabilities. But it is basically maintained at this value. And it is foreseeable that with the lack of Iraqi oil supply, oil prices will generally rise as a seller's market forms before the rest of OPEC members adjust their production. The more oil reserves you have at this time, the more popular the company's stock will be. Obviously, in this regard, under the deliberate guidance of Guo Shouyun, Unocal, which has been expanding its oil reserves, has an advantage.

"Bruce, you should understand that price-to-earnings ratios are only one important factor in a company's value, not the whole thing."

"David, of course I understand that. But it's reasonable for me to estimate the company's market value based on the price-earnings ratio. As for the more specific, according to a convincing assessment, wait until August 1st and you will see!"

"Then I'm looking forward to meeting you on August 1st!"

"it is good!"

"One more thing. Google's financing has been delayed for nearly half a year, aren't you ready to let go?"

"David, I think I've made this very clear. I won't give a cent to the $24 billion valuation. Also, I'll only wait until the end of this year, after this year it won't be that price."

Now Google is "a family with women seeking hundreds of families", and he naturally dares to ask for high prices. As for other pressures. After more than four years of layout and deliberate management, although his Guo Shouyun's contacts and power are not top-notch, not everyone can grasp it. He has the confidence and ability to wrestle with these financial giants.

"Bruce, if you're willing to give in, we can help you in other ways!"

"Oh? Tell me?" Guo Shouyun said with great interest.

"I know that Phoenix is ​​going to merge with National City Bank right now, and if you promise to make concessions on Google financing, the Carlyle Group can use our own influence on the National City Bank board to help you get there."

"Carlyle is also a shareholder of CNB?"

"We have a 3.7 per cent stake and a board seat."

"So it is. However, it is not necessary for the time being. Phoenix is ​​not just an option for National City Bank of the United States. We are also in contact with Indy Mike, Fifth Third Bank, and regional financial companies. I believe that with the qualifications of Phoenix, we will There is no shortage of collaborators."

"Bruce, are you really not thinking about it?"

"David, I don't want to trade Google's interests for Phoenix's future. I think you should understand the ills of this way of doing business."

"Okay!" After hearing the firmness in Guo Shouyun's tone, David Rubinstein was angry because of his stubbornness, but for the sake of the cooperation between the two parties and the future of the Carlyle Group, he could only hold his anger in his heart. hide the depression.

"…If you change your mind, you can call me anytime."

"Alright!"

Guo Shouyun did not refuse either.

"Good night then!"

"Good night!"

Hanging up the phone, Guo Shouyun briefly thought about it and then shook his head.

"As Google continues to develop, their anxiety is also increasing, and their original persistence has gradually shaken! ... Perhaps, Harvey Morgan's stake will be a good catalyst."

Guo Shouyun went to bed after printing out a copy of the 2003 mid-year newspapers of Google and Ruby that were stored in his computer.

The next day, after Guo Shouyun called, Harvey Morgan arrived quickly.

"Why, Mr. Frederick didn't come this time?"

"My father just advised me. Investing in Google and Ruby was my own idea."

Guo Shouyun nodded with a smile, and handed over the documents he had prepared earlier.

"Here's Google and Ruby's 2003 interim financial statements, take a look."

Harvey Morgan, who was looking forward to it, took it and looked at it seriously.

Seeing that he was so invested, Guo Shouyun didn't bother, holding his own teacup, tasting it while waiting for him. After more than half an hour, Harvey Morgan took a deep breath and said happily, "Mr. Guo, the performance of Google and Ruby is better than I expected. It is my honor to be able to invest in such an excellent company!"

"As long as you are satisfied. However, 5% of ConocoPhillips shares can't get 3% of Google's shares and 5% of Ruby's shares."

"I can add more ConocoPhillips equity...!"

"Mr. Morgan, I only need 5% of ConocoPhillips' shares!" Guo Shouyun interrupted.

"But Mr. Guo promised me that I would give me 5% of Ruby's equity. If you think about it, what you promised will not be counted?"

If at the beginning, he invested in Google and Ruby just because he was optimistic about the future development of the Internet industry, and they happened to be the top companies in the Internet industry. Now, after reading the interim reports of Ruby and Google, combined with the operating information of the two companies that he has learned privately, he is more determined to take more equity in the two companies.

It's a pity that the 5% stake in ConocoPhillips is all the family's support for him. But it doesn't matter, he can take credit from his father first, and it will not be too late to repay when the two companies go public in the future. In addition, even if he is rejected by his father, with the golden name of the Morgan family, he can get funds or shares from financial institutions. In short, as long as you work hard, the problem can always be solved. But if the opportunity is missed, it may not come again.

After investigation, Harvey Morgan clearly knows the value of the original shares of Google and Ruby in the hearts of CEOs of various investment companies.

"Of course what I said counted, but I also said I only wanted 5% of ConocoPhillips."

"Mr. Guo, I can make up for it with other company shares. National City Bank, Blackberry, Goldman Sachs...!"

Guo Shouyun interrupted him with a wave of his hand, "Sorry, Mr. Morgan. I don't need any of the companies you mentioned."

At this stage, the bureau he should set up has basically been set up. The development of each company is in good condition. Except for Phoenix and Matrix, there is no need to use mergers and acquisitions to expand the company's scale.

As for the merger between Phoenix and National City Bank, the feedback from Stephen Bryan~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Since they started contacting the rest of the banks, Ruben Durstein's attitude has shown signs of softening . I believe it is not far from the signing of the contract.

The Matrix acquired MGM, which was already a leaking jar. Being acquired is the end of it that cannot be changed. If such a company needs Guo Shouyun to use Ruby's equity in exchange, then he himself feels incompetent!

And, if it really wants to expand, what better time to do than during the subprime mortgage crisis?

Therefore, for Guo's, Pacific Energy and other companies, Guo Shouyun's plan is to develop step by step, accumulate funds and strength, integrate the company's interior, improve the corporate culture and management mechanism, and wait for the time to come.

In four years, under his leadership, I believe that the strength of each company will be improved to a higher level.

Seeing his firm attitude, Harvey Morgan sighed helplessly after opening his mouth.

"If I had made the decision to invest in ruby ​​and Google sooner, maybe I wouldn't have the problems I have today."

"In the early days, the scale and future of Google and Ruby may not make you make up your mind to come up with such conditions."

"Haha, that's true. Speaking of which, after listening to your speech at the Chinese University of Hong Kong, I really had a clearer understanding of the future of the Internet and decided to invest in the Internet."

"Mr. Morgan, there are many Internet companies in Silicon Valley. In addition to Ruby and Google, you can also invest in Netflix, Amazon, eBay and other companies."

Harvey Morgan shook his head, "Mr. Guo is also a genius in the financial industry, I believe he must be clear. The most suitable time to invest in a company is its initial stage. If you miss it, you can still choose original stocks. Otherwise, wait until the listing and return It will be much lower. So, under the same conditions, I would prefer ruby ​​and Google.”
