As a tycoon with assets of over 100 million, Huang Xuan's time in contact with the banking consortium is exactly in line with his identity. Both Citibank and UBS have become accustomed to reporting Huang Xuan's asset status once a month, although most of the time, Huang Xuan never listens carefully.
To raise US$100 million, Huang Xuan needs to pledge bonds worth US$100 million and almost all of Brazil's assets. Although the market value of Xihuang Industrial has appreciated slightly due to the prominent value of Santos Port, these combined can only amount to just Bought .5% of Southwestern Bell's stock.
What's more, using non-own funds to purchase shares will cause many legal problems.
After lunch, Aubrey and Dutoit, who brought two accountants with them, came to see Huang Xuan. UBS was originally a fairly open financial institution, but after the merger of UBS and UBS in 1997, although it continued to use The name of the latter, but in fact, is that UBS took over UBS, which means that conservatism began to prevail at UBS.
As a veteran employee of UBS, Dutoit had a strong pioneering spirit, which was inconsistent with the conservative spirit of UBS. Therefore, he was almost fired after the merger was completed. After that, Dutoit was sent to work with a Future millionaires build relationships. However, who could have imagined that a 16-year-old boy would become a world-class rich man in just one year.
With assets of 0 billion, this is even the total assets of many multinational companies. Although Dutoit has stabilized his position in the bank, he knows better than ever what it feels like to be walking on thin ice. Therefore, compared to Aubrey's hesitation, Dutoit was much more active in mortgage loans.
However, Pfizer's US$100 million bond can only be borrowed through Citibank, and it cannot exceed US$100 million. This makes Huang Xuan a little angry and helpless. If not, why would Huang Zhengsheng and Huang Sugui establish a bond in London? The company is raising funds.
Aubrey also explained in a very unpleasant way. In terms of ability, there is a gap between him and Dutoit. Generally speaking, as an American man who has just turned 40, Mr. White can be considered successful, but compared with the old man Dutoit, he is a bit immature. .
Because of this, Aubrey couldn't get involved in Citibank's internal decisions. Although he knew that making this loan would show Huang Xuan's favor and get more expected benefits, he still decided to do so after all. Couldn't do it.
Huang Xuanwei was a little disappointed, but he did not criticize Aubrey too much. In his opinion, it was precisely because of the different abilities of the two that Aubrey was more like his financial steward, and he was more like Dutoit. A big client in his name, this is obviously different for him.
From the outside, Huang Xuan was talking and laughing completely: "You two want coffee, right? Kopi Luak? I got it from my mother's desk cabinet."
"Of course." Aubrey stood up, took it, and put it on the table. He didn't know if Huang Xuan meant to say this, to tell him: He still had a big family back then? This short sentence gave Mr. White a headache.
Dutoit was more prepared. He took a form from the accountant, handed it to Huang Xuan gently, and said: "Mr. Huang, the Union Bank of Switzerland has just raised your credit rating. If you are willing to follow the above If you pay interest at the interest rate, we can mortgage your assets in Brazil and lend you 0 billion US dollars." He glanced at Aubrey and said, "But I want to remind you that the loan money cannot be used. For direct purchase of shares.”
Huang Xuan didn't tell him which company's shares he would buy, but he always needed to be told what to do with the money.
"I know." Huang Xuan smiled slightly and pulled the two bankers together. Only billionaires can do this. Xiao Huang did not look at the form on the table, but sipped his coffee and said: "My idea is to gradually pay off the jewelry and artworks mortgaged in the bank."
"You want to sell them?" Aubrey responded immediately.
Huang Xuan nodded and said: "I will meet with the gentlemen from Christie's and Sotheby's this afternoon. If there are no problems, I will sell most of them in about a month, and then pay off this part." After the money is collected, let’s talk about the loan.”
That is to say, you use your own assets to purchase shares and then use the shares as collateral for a loan. Although this is troublesome, it is sometimes quite feasible.
Dutoit nodded in agreement and said, "Then I'll go back and prepare."
Huang Xuan nodded with a smile and said: "Then I'll trouble Mr. Dutoit." He pushed the form to Dutoit and said: "I will go to Switzerland and the United States recently, uh, actually, several countries , I would like to meet Mr. Meis and Mr. Rubin if possible."
Mays is president of UBS, and Rubin is president of Citigroup.
As a billionaire, it was natural to meet with the top executives of two banks. The two nodded in agreement. Seeing that Huang Xuan had nothing to say, everyone stood up and left.
Huang Xuan stood up and sent him off and said, "Mr. White, can you stay for a while? I still need your help with some American affairs?"
"Okay." There was no performance today, which made Aubrey a little anxious. If he only relied on Citi itself, he was worried that he would be exchanged for it. If so, the Manhattan mansion would not be able to pay off the loan.
Dutoit turned and left the living room. This was still the Hilton suite. Huang Xuan was accustomed to using this place as an office space. With Lorraine's help, there would always be no safety issues.
Aubrey sat steadily on the sofa with his briefcase by his legs. He didn't bring his accountant because he didn't actually need it, but after seeing Dutoit's performance today, he realized that accountants can also be used as flower vases.
Huang Xuan poured himself a glass of Sprite with ice, sat on the table with his legs crossed, and said, "Does Citigroup have a business relationship with Oracle?"
In front of Dutoit, Huang Xuan was always more serious, but in front of Aubrey, he was much more comfortable.
"Of course. The current president is Lawrence. In fact, Citigroup's database system is also made by Oracle."
"Isn't it a great system?" Huang Xuan shrugged and said, "Almost relying only on a relational database system, it has grown from a small mill to a company worth nearly 100 billion U.S. dollars. It has made a lot of money."
"Huh?" Huang Xuan said the second half of the sentence in Chinese, and Aubrey was used to talking to Huang Xuan without an interpreter.
"Nothing." Huang Xuan spread his hands, put Sprite on the desk, and said with a disdainful smile: "I want to talk to Mr. Lawrence. It might be more convenient if Citigroup comes forward."
"no problem."
"That's enough." Huang Xuan stood up, patted Aubrey on the shoulder, and said, "I'm going to the United States in the next two days, and I should bring two friends with me. Of course it would be best if I could meet Mr. Rubin. alright."
"OK." Aubrey thought about how to deal with these problems, and said goodbye without a trace on her face.
Huang Xuan held his shoulder and walked him to the door. Aubrey suddenly remembered something and said, "Mr. Huang, I heard that you have several purebred horses? If it were on the racecourse, Mr. Rubin would be very happy." Easy to talk to.”
Rubin is the former Treasury Secretary of the U.S. government. Before entering the government, he worked at Goldman Sachs for six years. He is a person who is good at self-discipline and familiar with the rules.
"Thoroughbred horse?" Huang Xuan smiled and said jokingly: "Would it be bad if I beat him?"
"Of course not." Aubrey laughed too. (To be continued. If you want to know what happened, please log in to .qidian. There are more chapters. Support the author and genuine reading!) (To be continued)
