Chapter 48: Ihavemoney
"Jessie, you come to serve and let them leave." Li Zitao opened the cigar box, pulled out a box and put it on the table, and everyone also took a cigar.
Lawrence sniffed the cigar under his nose and admired: "The top tobacco leaves from the Canary Islands, Charlie, you will enjoy it too much."
"..." Without pretending to die, Li Zitao was envious of the other party's hand, "If you like, I will give you two boxes when you leave."
Lawrence raised his thumb, lit the cigar elegantly, and for a while, the smoke was smoky and enveloped the sofa area.
"Charlie, this is the crazy beer. What's it called, QD?" Emmond picked up the blue beer bottle and looked at the ‘QD’ sign above with curiosity.
"Qingdao, Qingdao, not QD." Hearing the name "QD", Li Zitao wanted to pull Miller out of the body.
This guy's self-made smart abbreviated label has become a codename for'Qingdao' after he deliberately enlarged it, and the foreigner he hoped to bite his tongue away.
Recently, sales of ‘QD’ have skyrocketed. Rows of carts in front of the winery are all waiting for merchants to pull the goods. The business is so good that people are jealous.
Paul is the best. He smiles every day. The winery, but in his name, bundles of Franklin cured his insomnia.
But to talk about the most enviable, it is the teenager Alexander. With 2.5% of the shares in his hands, he has entered the ranks of ten thousand households, and has received countless praises and envy,'This Mexican kid, how can it be so good Luck! ’
"Charlie, we should talk privately." Everyone said something to me, the atmosphere was not suitable for Samuel's conversation, only to make this rude request.
"......Of course, please over here." Li Zitao thought about it, and walked to the small living room behind the sofa with a cigar.
This large banquet hall is equipped with a secret meeting room and a cigar bar. Samuel leaned slightly to everyone present and said,'Sorry', followed.
"Aiken, has Samuel been in trouble lately?" Jevich asked frowning.
"Maybe!" Aiken shrugged ambiguously, but undoubtedly agreed with him.
The atmosphere in the sofa area has become a little dull. Everyone is worrying about this crazy spread and an increasingly serious disaster. ‘Is Samuel unable to sustain it? ’
"The banquet is about to begin." The most uncomfortable thing for this meeting was William Deffer. Seeing that the banquet time was coming, he and Li Zitao should have delivered speeches.
But now the big brothers are in no mood, the real owner Li Zitao and the old guy Samuel ran into the small meeting room, ‘oh, I hate **** talk. ’
"William, you need to learn to be considerate. Samuel's career has a great impact on IL. If there is trouble, you and I will be overwhelmed after re-election."
Yevich looked at him with some dissatisfaction. In his view, the mayor has been too beautiful recently, forgetting that his identity is a politician, not Bi Chi exposed in the spotlight.
In the small meeting room, Li Zitao was holding a cigar and was calmly listening to the opposite Mussel's narrative. There was only one idea in his heart, ‘He is in great trouble. ’
With a capital of 25 million US dollars and controlling a huge empire of 500 million US dollars through leveraged holdings, Li Zitao, even a financial idiot, knows that under the current situation, Samuel may be bankrupt at any time.
And his bankruptcy will almost become a foregone conclusion in the future, unless he can get a large amount of capital investment, which is also his purpose to find Li Zitao.
After talking about his current dilemma, Samuel looked at the young man from the East with some anxiety in front of him. He knew how huge the wealth he had in his hands.
At first he didn't know Li Zitao. If his old friend Aiken mentioned the name, he didn't even know that Li Zitao existed.
Later, when his debt crisis became more serious and he needed to consider safety, Aiken introduced him to SHIELD and accepted the invitation of Club 22 before he really learned about this Chinese teenager. What did you do in the month?
No matter who made the plan, it means that he will have hundreds of millions of dollars in assets and cash, ‘oh my god, this is really crazy. ’
Li Zitao is also thinking about whether he wants to eat Samuel’s industry. Free help is certainly impossible, and borrowing money is not a thing. He needs industry, not that interest.
If he chooses to lend money to Samuel, the interest paid by the other party is not enough to offset the tax he has to pay. Li Zitao can also remember the job creation.
And one thing that made him very tempted is that Samuel's industry is all related to people's livelihood, but public utilities are a good business.
Look at his industry. Signals, lights, gas, trams, ferries, taxis, etc. needed for rail transportation and transportation, as well as public services, are all close to family life. It can be said that the influence is terrible.
Think about the consequences of the simultaneous shutdown of these industries, and half of the state will fall into the terrible situation of no signal, power outage, water outage, and inability to heat.
There must be two-thirds of the area in Chicago. There will be railroad suspensions, tram stops, ferries docked on the river bank, and taxis will not have drivers.
"This is simply the kidnapping of people's livelihood. It's really her mother's excitement." Li Zitao was more and more excited when he wanted to eat. He must eat it.
"Samuel, how much do you need?" Li Zitao's blunt remarks surprised Samuel and also made him happy.
"100 million, as long as there is 100 million US dollars, I can truly master all the companies, and then I will merge all the companies to form a leading public utility giant.
Charlie, you can own 15% of the new group's shares and high future returns. Samuel extended a finger and said confidently.
In fact, he only needs 50 million US dollars, he can get rid of the current predicament, but since he knows that he is a fat sheep, why doesn't Samuel kill a knife?
"En." Li Zitao nodded recklessly and got up to the telephone.
"Help me pick up the book." Hearing the voice from the microphone, Li Zitao said directly: "Ben, I need your help to bring Mahathir and Michelle to the Ritz."
Li Zitao couldn't figure out the door, but he didn't seem stupid.
Now that the stock market is crashing, it is connected to giants like electricity, and the price per share has dropped from 120 US dollars to 30 US dollars, and it continues to decline.
He did not know the stock price of Samuel before the crash, but according to speculation, the current stock price may have fallen to a dozen dollars, or even worse.
Under such circumstances, how could Li Zitao spend 100 million yuan to buy 15% of the same shares as waste paper? Are you talking about crosstalk?
Sure enough, when he heard Li Zitao mentioning the name of'Ben', Samuel's face changed unnaturally, sitting there with a smile, the cigar in his mouth became bitter.
"Ben, I believe you have known each other and gave it to you." When Ben took the team into the small meeting room, Li Zitao slapped his **** and left.
The banquet had already begun. Eventually William Deffer showed himself on the podium, but the big brothers were all concerned about the small door leading to the parlor.
When Li Zitao came out, the guests were dancing. The women were wearing fashionable and gorgeous dresses, smiling and dancing gracefully.
He suddenly remembered a sentence he had seen, ‘Fashion is a cycle of reincarnation. Every 30 years, the once popular will return again. ’
The previous life Li Zitao was too far away from the word "fashion", but now looking at the ladies dancing in the center of the banquet hall, he deeply realized the authenticity of this sentence.
The clothes worn by women in this era are not inferior to the dresses of the red carpet actresses seen on the computer by Li Zitao in the previous life, even more gorgeous.
Standing in the same place, looking at the magnificent hall, fashionable beauties, polite men, a strong sense of achievement is born from the heart.
"Charlie, are you looking for prey tonight?" Jevich leaned over, holding a cigar, holding a beer and looking at the center of the ball, his eyes flickering and asked.
"Hmm." He smiled nonchalantly. Li Zitao took the lead back to the sofa area. Aiken and Emmond were still there, but Lawrence was missing.
"How about Lawrence?" Li Zitao asked casually.
"Nah!" Aiken pointed to the center of the ball and said, "It's nice to be young."
"BOSS, do you want to dance?" Jesse asked with a bright light in her eyes.
"No." Li Zitao refused without hesitation, no joke, he could not dance, only ugliness.
Regardless of the face of the young secretary, Li Zitao was drinking beer and enjoying the dance. Tonight, in addition to the guests with female companions, William also invited a lot of single ladies, looking very seductive.
"Charlie, have you planned to help Samuel?" Aiken moved to sit next to him~www.wuxiaspot.com~ He just saw it when he brought him in.
"Of course, I like to help others for pleasure." Li Zitao said reasonably, thinking to'help people in the end, send Buddha to the west, but I help him fundamentally solve the trouble, take a sum of money to retire, no need It’s so kind to worry about bankruptcy and debt. ’
got his affirmative answer, Aiken was still happy for his old friend, but did not know that Li Zitao had planned to let Samuel get out of the house.
Dancing party, from time to time someone will come to the sofa area to say hello, just the business card Li Zitao picked up a pile, and then a whole brain stuffed Jessie.
He didn't remember any of these people's names. This would be full of thinking about the negotiations inside. I didn't know if I could swallow the fat of Samuel for him.
The night was getting dark, and the cocktail party was about to end. People left in groups of three or five, and William took his wife away.
卡~
The small door behind him opened a slit, and then Bin opened the door, and Samuel walked out one after the other.
"Mr. Samuel, I will draft the contract tonight. We will see you at the club at 10 am." Ben said with a smile.
"...I will be there on time." Samuel's tone was a bit frustrated, and his expression was full of exhaustion.
"BOSS, do you want to go together?" He turned and blinked at Li Zitao.
"Of course." Li Zitao got up and smiled and said: "It's nice to meet you, then, see you next time."
and Mrs. Lao, a lady who had hooked up with a lady, said goodbye to Aiken and Emmond, and Li Zitao met Lawrence, who was taking her sister at the door.
"Hey, Charlie, are you going to leave? Maybe we should go and see the night in Chicago!" Lawrence hugged the hot girl, cuddling her eyes.
