In the afternoon, two more horse races were held, but neither the fame of the horses nor the excitement of the races could be compared with the previous races, so there were only a few spectators.
Xie Hao didn't mind very much. This was originally a party-like event. Dubai's oil resources are far less rich than those of Saudi Arabia, Iran and other countries. At the current rate, they will be used up in 0 years at most. Therefore, compared to other countries in the Middle East, Mohammed pays more attention to Dubai's sovereign wealth fund. However, unlike Asia and Europe, , the United States is deeply wary of sovereign funds of various countries. In the past two acquisitions, Dubai was eventually forced to sell it again.
There is a very American way to solve this problem, which is lobbying.
In Washington, there are about 100,000 people who make a living by lobbying. Some of them are lawyers, some are retired officials, and there are many professional managers with wide connections. They are the ones who persuade representatives, senators or the president. work.
As for today's gathering, Xie Hao originally had this purpose.
However, there is still a long way to go to solve the problem of sovereign funds in the United States. However, the information in Huang Xuan's hands made him very interested. Especially after his staff confirmed the prospects of BD, he became more and more interested. spirit.
In the evening, the routine dance began quietly around the three bonfires. This was the happiest time for the children. All the invitees were also smiling, gathering with family members or friends.
Huang Xuan squatted next to a small brazier, roasting chicken wings by himself while whispering to Galadia. The blonde beauty walked with a swaying posture, and her voice rose and fell when she spoke, which sounded very nice. After talking for a while, Huang Xuan handed her a roasted golden chicken wing and said, "It was coated with honey and spices just now. This is the best chicken wing I have ever baked in my life. Let me give it to you to try."
Galadia's eyes were as blue as lake water, warmed by the firelight. She took the chicken wings from his hand and said with a smile, "How many chicken wings have you grilled in total?"
Huang Xuan smiled and said nothing, and just let her taste it. This was Lorraine's enhanced version of chicken wings, which must be more delicious than the pure-blood Huang's series.
Without looking at Huang Xuan's sly smile, Galadia carefully picked up the steel skewer with three fingers, brought the golden chicken wing to Ying's lips, showed her teeth slightly, bit off a piece delicately, and chewed it carefully. stand up.
Huang Xuan was also a little nervous. Although Lorraine vowed, human taste has always been weird.
Galadia glanced at Huang Xuan, tore off another chew and started eating it, and asked with some disbelief: "Did you really bake it?"
"Didn't you see that I baked it?" Huang Xuan deliberately flipped the iron pick in his hand and said, "Is it delicious?"
"Leave some for you." Galadia's pretty face turned red, she took out her handkerchief and gently wiped her mouth, then prepared to tear off a wing tip and give it to Huang Xuan.
"I like to eat wings." Huang Xuan whined and shook his head, glancing at the Greek girl. The calf exposed outside the skirt was so white and smooth that it could almost reflect the color of the bonfire.
Under the cover of the bonfire, Galadia's facial features were clear and thrilling, like a marble statue that had just been cut out. Her beautiful eyes were deeply embedded under the black eyelashes, and a blush rose on her cheeks. It was unknown if she was touched by the brazier. Even though I was burning, I was still shy. The center of the wing happened to be the spot where she had just bitten it. Seeing Huang Xuan stretching his head to grab it, she wanted to push it out in a hurry.
Huang Xuanzi would not let her get her wish. Even without Lorraine's help, her body had been injected with various vaccines and was of excellent quality. He leaned slightly to the right, tucked his limp arm under his armpit, and then used the remaining one He put his hand around Xiaoman's waist and bit down with his big mouth. Little Narcissus couldn't hide at this time, so he clucked and hid his head, like a cormorant that went to the wrong place.
Xiao Xiao bit a piece of chicken wing, Huang Xuan swallowed it with a long neck, and then went to look for those red lips. There were always a lot of couples present, and Uncle Sam's family was open-minded by nature. After calling for help to no avail, Huang Xuan finally got his wish. .
After making a fuss for a while, Galadia was a little out of breath. She lay half-lying on Huang Xuan, gently tapped him with her little hand, and said: "I also said it was the best one you roasted. It must be for me." Many girls have practiced it.”
Huang Xuanxin complained that he was wronged. Lorraine used to be an advance base, but now he has no work to do. He was summoned here by his own boss, so there was no chance for people to barbecue. As for Huang's original grilled chicken wings, they usually can only be used as flower fat.
After saying a few more words, Huang Xuan casually mentioned his BD plan, but he didn't expect Galadia to be quite familiar with it, or in other words, she was more familiar with capital operations. This made Huang Xuan involuntarily promoted. The idea came up to get her involved.
Looking at the bodyguard who had already walked far away, Huang Xuan considered it, pushed Galadia, and said: "Let's talk business with you, are you interested in investing in my blue light project?"
Even based on the current capacity of the DVD market, if DVD can be driven out of the market in a short period of time, it will be a big cake worth 60 billion US dollars. Huang Xuan never asked Lorraine to check Galadia’s family background. , on the one hand, there is no chance, and on the other hand, there are probably some boys’ feelings in it. However, looking at her daily necessities, etiquette, the servants around her, and her uncle Clemenos, it seems that she can afford the capital. Besides, the amount of capital can always be discussed.
To Huang Xuan's surprise, Galadia shook her head decisively and just said: "I'm not familiar with these either."
This makes Huang Xuan a little bit confused. At least billions of dollars in profits are simply given up like this
Little Narcissus, however, seemed oblivious and patted Classmate Xiao Huang's face and said, "Let's go dance and let's not talk about this anymore."
Huang Xuan had no choice but to put down his thoughts.
The climax of the bonfire party soon came with the accompaniment of country music. Huang Xuan danced for a while and then felt tired. Watching Galadia showing her moving dance posture, he stood nearby and clapped his hands.
"Mr. Huang?" someone said in Huang Xuan's ear.
Huang Xuan looked back and saw that it was Rubin.
From a closer look, Mr. Rubin's belly was still within the allowable range, which was roughly equivalent to China's deputy director-level standards. He wiped his sweat with a handkerchief and said, "Shall we go outside to chat? There are too many people here. "
There were about a thousand people in the audience, and it was really hot to be crowded together. Huang Xuan walked out as he was told, and helped Rubin clear the way.
Using a bodyguard at a party will make you look ridiculous.
Walking to the edge of the bonfire, Huang Xuan took advantage of the dim light of the fire to find two glasses of wine, handed one of them to Rubin, and said, "I heard that you also like country music?"
"Everything is fine." Rubin was not going to go around in circles with Huang Xuan. He had already met this young man once, and Citi had also dealt with him for a long time. From his perspective, he looked down upon such a young man. Young people, that's not what a prudent banker should do.
Therefore, Rubin just said a few words about the live music, handed the wine to his left hand, and said straight to the point: "How much money does Mr. Huang need?"
"Not counting Mr. Mohammed, it would be at least 10 billion U.S. dollars."
In fact, Huang Xuan didn't get Xie Hao's money at all, but what does that matter? 007 couldn't find out this kind of agreement between the two.
It is impossible for even Citigroup to come up with tens of billions of dollars. Rubin just remained silent for a moment, then laughed twice and said, "Mr. Huang, is he going to produce BD under the name of Hexin Industrial, or is he going to set up another company."
"Of course we will set up a new company."
Neither of them considered Sony's problem. For an alliance that is connected by profit, if there is really tens of billions of dollars in capital to promote it, it is completely impossible to refuse. Even Sony itself will not invest so much money because it has a different understanding of the market.
Similarly, Rubin will not ask how to defeat HD. In his opinion, BD does not need to defeat HD. As long as Huang Xuan's skills are true, it is not a problem at all.
After taking a slow sip of wine, Rubin tasted it in his mouth and said, "If Mr. Huang needs it, Citigroup can issue a batch of bonds for your new company."
Huang Xuan's eyes lit up.
Corporate bonds are a kind of loan certificate issued by financial institutions for specific groups in society, just like Pfizer does. If a company needs a large amount of funds and is unable or unwilling to go public, If you don't have enough money, you can try to issue bonds. Of course, issuing is one thing and subscribing is another.
The smaller the company, the lower its bond price will be and the higher the rate of return will be. Even if it is a hype concept, etc., it will be much higher than the interest rate of foreign government bonds, and the latter is not always very convenient. of sold.
For example, Goldman Sachs issued bonds for the Russian government for more than one billion U.S. dollars. It was sold for several months, and it earned tens of millions after selling it. It was also praised by Wall Street analysts, and the Russian government was also quite Happy.
It can be seen that bonds are not a money-making trick. As for selling tens of billions of dollars in bonds, it is almost impossible to target companies except the government.
However, since it was proposed by Citi, Huang Xuan of course took a learning attitude and said: "Can Citi help the new company sell tens of billions of dollars in bonds?" (To be continued)
