Early the next morning, the Wall Street Journal urgently printed 20,000 additional copies, but they were all sold out in a short time. ●⌒,
The reason for this situation is entirely due to two names: Futureman Technology and First National Bank of Boston.
For a period of time, these two names dominated the newspapers, magazines, portals and forums of major American media. The former was caught in the whirlpool of antitrust investigations and completely suspended its North American business. The latter's share price and number of depositors plummeted due to the leakage of depositors' information.
It is not difficult for those who are interested to get clues from these two incidents.
Future Heavy Industries is involved in the Saudi freshwater project, while American Matrix is controlled by Boston Bank and Boston Scientific (ny color: bsx). Both companies belong to the Boston consortium's industry. Considering this, the context of the entire incident is very clear.
Jiang Chen touched the cake of the Boston Consortium, and the Boston Consortium bribed the Blue Seagull Charity Organization to smear the Future People Group, which kicked off the war.
It is an irresponsible conjecture that given the control of Congress by major consortiums, the antitrust investigation of Futureman Technology by the Department of Justice is probably the fault of the Boston consortium. The hacker attack on the Bank of Boston was most likely the result of future technology. After all, other people are experts in the Internet field and can do it with artificial intelligence.
However, last night, the two companies simultaneously announced on their official websites that they would cooperate with each other in the field of virtual reality finance to pave the way for the upcoming launch of virtual reality shopping. As soon as this news came out, all rumors were immediately dispelled, and the share price of Bank of Boston also rose by 6% on the day the news was announced.
This is the first time such a rebound has occurred since the leakage of depositor information!
Not only VR+ Finance, Future Heavy Industries will separate the production and supply of fresh water projects and establish a subsidiary, High-Tech Marine Fresh Water Supply Company. With a registered capital of US$400 million, it exchanged 19% of the shares from First Bank of Boston for 20.8% of American Matrix's shares, replacing the Lodge family as the largest shareholder of American Matrix. The two companies will cooperate in business. American Matrix will use its own resources to attract orders, while Future Heavy Industries will be responsible for digesting orders.
For Future Heavy Industries, which has the technology, acquiring American Matrix is undoubtedly an excellent choice.
At the same time, Gaoxin Fresh Water will be listed on Nasdaq, and First National Bank of Boston will provide listing-related procedures.
The listing of Gaoxin Danshui will also become the first listed subsidiary of Futureren Group. Wall Street investors are full of expectations for this. According to the assessment of Wall Street analysts, the freshwater project with Saudi Arabia will bring the newly established company at least US$400 million in annual income! Considering the huge freshwater market in the Middle East, this number is likely to more than triple!
Based on a price-to-earnings ratio of 15 times, the market value of this company with a registered capital of only US$400 million may exceed US$6 billion! And one year after its listing, it is heading towards 10 billion!
Such a high investment value naturally makes countless investors covet it.
With the help of the Boston Consortium, the listing process of High-tech Freshwater has also been given the green light. The originally lengthy approval process was no longer a problem with the support of the consortium and the enthusiasm of investors.
As for why Jiang Chen suddenly changed his mind about going public, it was because of Carson Lodge’s words.
At that time, the two had reached a consensus on the cooperation project. However, Jiang Chen raised objections to the listing of Gaoxin Fresh Water. The reason is simple. He is very optimistic about the prospects of the fresh water business. Now Future Man Group is not very short of money and does not need to attract money through listed subsidiaries.
"Saudi Arabia is a strategic ally of the United States. Even if we don't obstruct it, you may not be able to do business in the Red Sea peacefully."
"Why?"
"Because of the U.S. military presence in the Middle East." Carson smiled. "Mr. Jiang has previous experience of 'running business' in Iraq. Am I right?"
"That's right." Jiang Chen nodded.
This is nothing worth hiding, and with a little bit of searching you can trace his footprints in Iraq and Ukraine. Many intelligence organizations regard these experiences as Jiang Chen's experience in the "organization". It is precisely because of these qualifications that he was promoted from an offline member to the leader of the "organization".
If Jiang Chen saw the CIA's analysis information on him, I wonder if he would laugh out loud.
"Whether it is IS or other terrorist organizations or pirates, to a large extent they are inextricably linked to us. This connection is not only reflected in the fact that the rifle and bullets in his hands come from Maryland, USA, but also in the The White House and Congress control them to a certain extent. When necessary, they can help the United States get rid of people who should not exist, and when necessary, they can provide excuses for unnecessary wars."
"I probably understand what you mean." Jiang Chen spread his hands indifferently, "You mean I will be afraid of pirates?"
"Of course not." Carson shook his head. "According to the Pentagon report, among all dictators, your armed forces are probably the strongest. But do you think Saudi Arabia will allow you to station troops in their country? Just because of a freshwater project?"
Jiang Chen narrowed his eyes. This time he finally understood what Carson said.
Of course the United States will not take action on its own, but it will definitely acquiesce to attacks by pirates or other organizations on desalination platforms, and may even pay to secretly buy the "trophies" they obtain and take them back to study them carefully.
At this time, the situation faced by Star Ring Trade will be very passive. Conducting military operations overseas not only tests military strength, but also diplomacy.
"I don't understand, what does this have to do with going public?"
"If we are listed on Nasdaq, even if we only list 10% of the circulating market, it will dispel the White House's hostility towards us."
When he said this, Carson used the word "we." After signing the equity swap agreement, he has become one of the shareholders of Gaoxin Danshui. And making such a proposal is naturally considered from the perspective of high-tech fresh water.
But if it is listed on Nasdaq, the situation of Gaoxin Freshwater will be completely different. Even if it is to protect the interests of its own investors, the White House will remain cautious about the option of "making small moves behind the scenes."
The actual controller of the company is still Futureren Group. No matter from any point of view, listing on Nasdaq is an excellent choice for Gaoxin Danshui. So Jiang Chen agreed to Carson’s proposal for the listing of Gaoxin Freshwater, and determined that the circulating stock accounted for 15% of the total share capital.
After the listing, the equity structure of Gaoxin Danshui is 70% held by Futureren Heavy Industries, 15% held by First Bank of Boston, and 15% floated. Regarding the fresh water project, Futureren Heavy Industries still has an unshakable say.
Moreover, this subsidiary IPO will bring at least one-time income of US$1 billion to Future Heavy Industries!
On the other hand, as the Future Man Group reached a cooperation with the Boston Consortium, the Blue Seagull, who was regarded as a pawn by the latter, fell into an embarrassing situation.
Without the support of capital behind them, they cannot even afford to litigate.
The court fees and legal fees of the International Court of Justice are not low. After all, the court is not a charity. Even if Blue Seagull is a public welfare organization, the money still has to be paid. The Future Man Group did not seem to be prepared for a quick resolution and directly took two truckloads of documents to the court. It seemed that it would not let up until the lawsuit lasted for five or six years.
