Chapter 846 (2/2)
This time I invite two people to come together. I'm sure I won't choose the home of any bank. The Detroit branch of black cloud group is the most appropriate choice. After all, it involves military vehicle transactions. In addition, Bao Shoufu wants to lead the new car R & D and the coordination of jeep production line after the talks. After negotiating the loan, you can immediately go to work.
After the three sat down, Bao Zixuan said, ”Mr. wells, Mr. reed; Both are well-known figures in the U.S. banking industry. It is an honor for black cloud group to have the opportunity to cooperate with Wells Fargo and Citibank. I think as long as everyone has a positive attitude of cooperation, this business will be successful. ”
John Reed was very happy about the name of baozixuan. The benefits of being an alumni of a well-known university are reflected again. Although he does not study science and technology, it will not affect anything.
David Wells is nothing. After all, he didn't graduate from MIT and couldn't make friends if he wanted to. And alumni are just a bridge and can't change anything.
After a burst of greetings, the talks got to the point.
Bao Zixuan: ”I don't know what support you two give to heiyun. Only through win-win cooperation can business last long.”
They didn't expect that the conversation of baozixuan changed so quickly. Fortunately, they both experienced big scenes and prepared in advance.
David Wells: ”Wells Fargo can lend us $2 billion to black cloud group with an annual interest rate of 8%, and return the principal and interest together in five years.”
Interest and repayment methods have been quite kind, at least relative to the same industry in the United States.
John Reid: ”Citibank will give the same treatment, and the specific amount will be determined by Mr. Bao.”
The meaning is obvious, as long as baozixuan is willing. Citibank will be satisfied with how much money it wants.
Bao Shoufu was not very satisfied with the result, mainly because the interest rate was a little high. The two banks do nothing and earn $160 million a year. The most important thing is that there is no risk, because no one will worry that the black cloud group can't afford it.
Bao Zixuan said with a smile, ”it is reasonable to say that the conditions given by the two have been very generous, but I have one thing to declare. Black cloud group is not short of money. You should know that only the funds in the account of black cloud computer company; It is enough to cover the cost of decommissioning weapons and equipment of the Ministry of defense. ”
”This cooperation is more for a balance. After all, no one can eat alone.”
”At present, the two banks are not very strong in the Asian market, and we can still cooperate in this regard. If we want to maximize our interests, the Middle East and the Soviet Union are not inoperable. ”
As the most famous bank in the United States and even Europe and the United States, everyone wants to expand abroad, but there has been no opportunity. What Bao Zixuan said is true. This time it is to achieve a balance of interests. He can cooperate with anyone he wants, and there are opportunities to expand the market in the future.
John Reid obviously knows how to cherish opportunities, so he said: ”the annual interest rate of 5.5% is the sincerity of Citibank and my greatest authority. Other conditions remain unchanged. I don't know what my younger brother thinks. ”
David Wells did not expect Citibank to make such a big concession at once, which made Wells Fargo very passive; But I can't help but follow, or I'll definitely let Citibank cut off my beard.
John Reid knows more about baozixuan. Alumni resources can feed back a lot of information. Bao Shoufu likes to be straightforward, which may be the commonness of men in science and engineering; He met too many such people at MIT. Therefore, only after the board of directors got full power did it have such courage.
Bao Zixuan: ”Mr. reed, I'll do as you say! USD 2 billion, with an annual interest rate of 5.5%; However, it will take seven years. After maturity, it will be repaid in a lump sum with principal and interest. In order to let the students explain, black cloud computer company mortgaged 10% of its shares to Citibank. ”
Wells Fargo did not dare to insist after Citibank agreed. The three parties soon reached an agreement that Bao Shoufu mortgaged 20% of the shares of black cloud computer company and borrowed $2 billion from two banks respectively. It can be regarded as a solution to the capital problem, and the two banks are eager for him to get a stake in the black cloud computer company.
The shares of black cloud computer company are definitely in demand. After listing, it may become the first company in the world. In any case, the two banks are not at a loss. And there are opportunities to enter the Soviet Union and the Middle East market, but I didn't dare to think about it before.
Seven years later, it was time to harvest the fruits of victory in Japan. At that time, that little money was really nothing to Bao Zixuan.
