Chapter 360: Merrill Lynch's Proposal
At seven o'clock the next morning, Merrill Lynch's investment adviser, Hollin. Stone had already appeared in the living room of Su Peng's villa.
With him came two lawyers, a consultant, three notaries, and a dozen contracts.
500 million US dollars, although it is nothing compared to the total assets of Merrill Lynch, but it also needs to be paid attention to, this lineup is still the lineup after Su Peng's request, according to Huo Lin's idea, he can directly make a team of more than 20 experts on call at any time.
After confirming Huo Lin's identity and qualifications, as well as some other supporting documents, Su Peng happily signed a 500 million US dollar entrustment contract and became Party B of the contract, while Merrill Lynch naturally became Party A, and Huo Lin was the specific executor of the contract authorized by Merrill Lynch, responsible for the 500 million US dollars.
A few days ago, Huo Lin, who was still a little down, was in high spirits at this time, he jumped four levels in a row in the company's rank, and was promoted to a position similar to that of a regional deputy manager, with many more people under his hands, and at the same time, in order to reward him for his hard work, the company gave him a special bonus, with this bonus, Huo Lin put on a new suit worth a lot of money, and the value of this suit is probably the annual salary of a salaryman in China.
Huo Lin's main task is not to go to Merrill Lynch to work, but to be responsible for all of Su Peng's requirements, and try to make the five hundred million dollars get the maximum return on investment, so that whether it is Merrill Lynch's commission, or for him and the financier, it is the best.
After signing the authorization contract, Su Peng leaned on the leather sofa casually and asked Huo Lin: "By the way, Huo Lin, do you know the information about Leighton Company?" ”
"Leighton Corporation?"
Huo Lin thought for a moment, nodded and said: "Zhilu Dao, Australia's fourth largest arms company, don't look at Australia's population of only about 20 million. But the arms industry is doing very well, and the value of Leighton is about five billion dollars, which can be regarded as a giant, especially the security team under Leighton Company, which can be regarded as one of the top few in Australia. ”
"Do you know what the company is doing right now? I've heard that they seem to be short of money. ”
Su Peng said to Huo Lin.
"You're looking to invest in this company?"
When Huo Lin heard this, he stood up very sensitively, held his forehead with his hand, and said, "Mr. Su, I'm afraid this is a bit troublesome." Mainly because of your identity, you are from Asia, and you are an immigrant from China, so there are some political considerations, there will be a little resistance......"
"That's something you need to think about."
Su Peng waved his hand, interrupted Huo Lin's speech, and said, "If there is no difficulty, what else do you need to do?" I gave Merrill Lynch a certificate of authorization just to deal with this kind of trouble. Don't tell me you can't help it. ”
"Yes, yes."
When Huo Lin heard this, he immediately broke out in some cold sweat, and he secretly scolded himself. How is it still the thinking mode of the previous little consultant, this Mr. Su only signed a certificate of authorization, which can be withdrawn at any time, if it is really withdrawn. Yourself in the company......
Huo Lin, who had just tasted the taste of power, naturally didn't want to give up this bad fruit, if he wanted to keep Su Peng's words. Then he has to take care of these things.
However, according to Su Peng's worth at this time, Merrill Lynch Bank can already send someone to deal with these things for him.
Secretly wiping his sweat, Huo Lin said: "Mr. Su, we can solve your identity problem, but I don't know your exact intentions, what is your purpose?" Do you want to invest normally, or do you want to get a controlling stake or management right in Leighton? If it's the latter, I'm afraid of half a billion dollars, and I still won't be able to achieve our goal. ”
Su Peng's fingers tapped on the armrest of the leather sofa and thought for a while.
Huo Lin. Stone, or Merrill Lynch, can be said to be on their side, Merrill Lynch's own job is these, asset mergers and acquisitions have done too much, experienced, if they acquire Layton by themselves, of course they can help, but they are also a clever woman who has no rice to cook, Layton is worth more than five billion dollars, such a behemoth, it is indeed a little difficult to eat five hundred million dollars.
However, Su Peng's purpose is not necessarily to acquire Layton.
After thinking for a while, Su Peng organized his vocabulary and said, "Actually, it doesn't matter whether or not Leighton Company is completely acquired...... What I value is the influence of Leighton, and I must have influence on Leighton, this influence is in decision-making and the implementation of the company, I want to obtain Leighton's influence on the government, and at the same time I must obtain the protection of Leighton's violent organizations, or be able to directly issue tasks and orders to these violent organizations, and at the same time, my capital must remain basically stable, and I will not lose too much in order to achieve the goal. ”
Listening to Su Peng's words, Huo Lin's eyes flashed, he put down the pen he was recording, and asked Su Peng, "With all due respect, Mr. Su, are you in any trouble?" Like threats of violence? If that's all there is to it, I don't have to buy Leighton, I can find a satisfactory bodyguard group or other similar person for Mr. Su. ”
"Nope."
Su Peng waved his hand and said: "I'm still safe, the strength of the Layton Company is just a consideration, I am more interested in its impact on the government and other aspects, in order to achieve the above purpose I said, I hope to become the company's major shareholder, or executive director." ”
"That's ......"
Huo Lin listened, nodded, recorded Su Peng's request, and then said, "Besides, is there anything else I can serve?" ”
"Not for the time being, only this one thing." Su Peng said, then thought about it, and said: "I have also heard a little about the Leighton family, I don't want to stand on the opposite side of that family because of this matter, this matter is actually improving my safety factor in general, not decreasing, in the process of operation, I don't want you to set up enemies for me." ”
"It's nature."
Huo Lin nodded and said, and then said: "I'll go to investigate Leighton Company now, and at the same time ask for the company's assistance, at the latest at half past three in the afternoon, I will take the execution plan and ask Mr. Su to take a look, okay?" ”
Su Peng nodded, Huo Lin nodded him, said goodbye to Su Peng, and then left Su Peng's villa with a group of experts.
Su Peng had nothing to do, so he went upstairs, landed on the Cycle of Death game, and practiced "Exorcism".
After cultivating for almost five or six hours, Su Peng felt that the time was almost up, so he logged out and waited for Huo Lin.
Sure enough, as Huo Lin said, he rushed back in the afternoon, and it was an hour early, and at half past two in the afternoon, Huo Lin rushed to Su Peng's villa with four or five other financial experts.
Seeing Su Peng, Huo Lin handed a blue-covered document to Su Peng and said, "Mr. Su, please take a look." ”
Su Peng was very satisfied with their efficiency, took the document, sat on the sofa and began to read.
Gradually, Su Peng's brows furrowed...... (To be continued......)
