Chapter 126 (1/2)
After rejecting the monk's proposal again, Li Zitao closed his eyes and took a nap, thinking about the follow-up development.
In fact, what he wants to do most now is to find a noble woman to marry him.
Cough A slip of tongue is to marry a noble woman and let her marry over.
If he had a noble status, how could Li Zitao be picked peaches by the big men? It was all beautiful green knives!
”I remember that.” Li Zitao groaned.
As for the gold card given to him by west, Li Zitao doesn't plan to use it now. The most important thing is that the salted fish heart is unwilling.
Although it is a salty fish, but how to do the saltiest one is not?
The name of Habsburg on his back now seems to be earned, but who knows how many people are secretly thinking about how to knock on the black bricks of the old ha family.
The enemies of the old ha family are absolutely indispensable. Otherwise, why do those prominent families in the imperial period become obsessed with each other now? They are not afraid to settle accounts after autumn.
”Boss, Ben is waiting for you at the club.” It was late at night when we arrived in Chicago. It was the elk who came to pick up the plane.
”It's urgent?” If it wasn't an emergency, it wouldn't have been until now.
”There's something wrong with the financial situation of the United National Bank of Chicago, and they're looking for help.”
Hearing the report from the little milu deer, Li Zitao's spirit suddenly rose, ”the opportunity has come.”
If you want to build a consortium, an independent financial entity is essential. Without its own financial support, it can only be slowly infiltrated by capital and become a wedding dress for others.
Li Zitao has been looking for a suitable target, but this target is not easy to find.
Yes, every day in every city, there are banks going bankrupt, some high-quality resources are being integrated and reorganized, and some banks are stepping up their time for mergers and acquisitions to seek vitality.
But in Li Zitao's opinion, these industries are not enough. These industries have certain value, but if we want to say where it is important, we will find that there is no temptation.
Chicken ribs are all standard chicken ribs industry.
It takes a lot of manpower, material resources and resources to acquire these banks, and only some useless data and businesses that no one will buy.
The United Nations bank, one of the earliest banks in Chicago and the second largest bank in the Midwest, has a large number of high-quality customers and contacts, as well as a large number of high-quality collateral.
More importantly, the bank has the right to issue state bonds.
Local bonds are bonds initiated by local governments or public organizations. They are mainly used to build schools, hospitals, ports, tunnels and public facilities.
According to American law, interest income from bond purchase is exempt from federal income tax, while state law does not impose tax on this aspect.
It can be said that bond is one of the investment methods favored by the rich, commercial banks and large enterprises.
”Ben, tell me the details.” The pace flies to the office, Li Zitao has not sat down on the hasty said.
”Boss, the U.N. bank suffered a run in the disaster area, although it survived with abundant funds.”
”But as the disaster becomes more and more serious, the transfer of large savings is becoming more frequent, and the proportion of private enterprises going bankrupt continues to increase, making their capital chain broken.”
On the one hand, there is a continuous decrease in savings funds; on the other hand, the bad debts of mortgage assets continue to increase. The industry, once valued at $10000, is now worth only a few hundred dollars.
And even if it's a few hundred dollars, no one will buy it now.
This series of chain reactions pushed the United National Bank of Chicago into the abyss.
”How long will it last?” Li Zitao asked.
”In three days, they will declare bankruptcy if they can last three days at most.”
”How many people know the news?”
”We, and Aiken.”
”The Chicago consortium is interested in it?” This news is not very second.
”Yes, it happened so quickly that the board of directors of United Bank has been in a dilemma. When they make a decision, they have no time to inform so many buyers.”
”That is to say, only our two families are ready-made.” Li Zitao has to consider the possibility of snatching meat from the mouth of the Chicago consortium.
”Boss, this is a rare opportunity. United Bank's assets are benign. They have excellent customers, huge channels and the right to issue bonds...”
”But we don't have any advantages.” Everyone knows that things are good, the key now is local tyrants and financial monsters.
If put in front of ordinary people, Li Zitao, a local tyrant, is a mountain. But in front of financial monsters like financial consortia, he is at most a mound.
”No, we have an advantage over first bank.” Ben, with a mysterious smile, said: ”the board of directors of United Bank is more inclined to us.”
”Why?” Li is a little forced.
In any case, accepting the acquisition of first national bank is the best choice for them. What makes them make such a decision?”Boss, they like the way you treat your subordinates.” Speaking of this, I could not help but hide my face to make complaints about it.
Their boss is so lazy that it has become an advantage. There must be something wrong with this world.
”Ha...” Li Zitao did not know whether to be happy or sad.
This can also become an advantage, is it not intentional to insert willows into shade?
”What are you waiting for? Let the think tanks move quickly.” Li Zitao said decisively.
”Well, tomorrow morning we will have a preliminary exchange of views with the board of directors of the United Bank. They don't have much time. I believe there will be results in the afternoon.”
After thinking about it, Ben added, ”the next morning at the latest.”
