In the circle, the strength of Gaoyi American company is recognized and respected.
With the starting capital from Asia and the careful adjustment of Gaoxian, Gaoyi America has devoted itself to development for more than ten years, has possessed the local qualification for operating conventional business, and has established a mature cooperation mechanism with local companies, including the cooperation between securities and Merrill Lynch, the cooperation between acquisition and Goldman Sachs, the cooperation between banks and chase, etc.
Of course, the strength depends on the results. The nirvana rebirth of Gulf Western companies in the past two years with the support of goyimi can best illustrate the problem.
If this performance is not specific enough, there is another evidence, that is, the annual salary of William Miller, chairman and CEO of the board of directors of goyimi, is one million dollars, which is on par with the large investment institutions on Wall Street.
If goyimi doesn't make a lot of money, how can it have matching financial resources to treat its executives well?
Now that it has been paid attention to by interested people, it is not difficult to speculate about the "needs" of goyimi. For example, Peterson's temptation to Sir Gao and whether he wants to buy Lehman Brothers at this time can not be more accurate.
In the eyes of discerning people, the further development of goyimi is to become a member of the core circle of Wall Street, and the acquisition of Lehman Brothers is a shortcut in front of us.
You know, the large investment institutions on Wall Street during this period were nothing more than Morgan Stanley, Goldman Sachs, Bear Stearns, Boston first bank, Dillon reed, Lehman Brothers, Solomon brothers and Merrill Lynch.
Sir Gao's reaction didn't disappoint Peterson. He thought about it for a while, and then slowly opened his mouth, "if you can, of course, it can't be better."
Peterson immediately cheered up. "Blackstone knows the situation of Lehman Brothers like the back of his hand. Does Sir Gao agree?"
"I believe Blackstone can do this." Gao Xian nodded. "It's just that we need to listen to William Miller before we can make a decision and whether to ask Blackstone to provide consulting services."
"Of course." Peterson hit the railway while it was hot. "Just in time, I want to visit William Miller."
In fact, Gao Xian came to the United States this time to further understand the extent to which various forces in the United States have endured under the continuous monetary tightening policy of the Federal Reserve, so as to transfer the contradictions outward, especially the dynamics of Kenichi Ben.
Peterson's promotion of Lehman Brothers was just a windfall.
In his communication with William Miller, Gao Xian said bluntly: "it's entirely up to you to decide whether to buy Lehman Brothers."
After all, after following Sir Gao for many years, William miller could hear the reserved meaning in Gao Xian's words, so he asked for instructions: "what should we pay attention to when purchasing Lehman Brothers?"
"The acquisition of Lehman Brothers is indeed a rare opportunity for the further development of goyimi." Gao Xian stressed: "just, I hope to grasp the problem of who is the master and who is the second in this process."
"After all, the development of goyimi has entered a stable state and formed its own corporate culture. The dross existing in Lehman Brothers can never be fully accepted."
William Miller has learned about the recent situation of Lehman Brothers. Internal strife has reached the point of internal strife, traders are rebellious, investment bankers choose to quit the company because of endless turmoil, and the serious decline in efficiency finally led to the company's operation in trouble.
At a glance, what is dross is self-evident.
It is not difficult to understand the corporate culture of Gaoyi America. For Wall Street, it belongs to outsiders. In order to survive and develop, we must pay attention to ethics and fall to the personal level, that is, it is better to be kind.
The so-called ethics is not abstract. To take the simplest example, an investment bank has a long-term and stable friendly cooperative relationship with company A. It just helped it successfully issue bonds and received a huge Commission. Suddenly, company B came and asked the investment bank to help it acquire company A.
Before the 1970s, company B was almost certainly rejected; But now, you son of a bitch who doesn't make money. Instead, the investment company almost certainly takes up the knife and stabs company A.
At least, this choice does not involve legal risks. At this stage, Wall Street's profit seeking and greed are magnified like a runaway wild horse. In this case, according to Gao Xian's intelligence, the "uncleanness" of Solomon brothers is dangerous. Even Morgan Stanley is unknowingly involved in a large number of junk bond businesses closely related to mergers and acquisitions, Drexel Burnham Lambert, second only to Michael Milken, the king of junk bonds.
Local households have the confidence to go to the "black zone", and foreign households can rub the "gray zone" at most. Moreover, Gao Xian has "foresight" and the source of income is guaranteed. There is no need to be dragged into the water.
From a positive point of view, the corporate culture formed in Gaoyi America may become a clear stream in the industry and help them attract business.
William Milles said, "then Lehman Brothers should be reorganized and operated independently as a group subsidiary."
"You can grasp it," Gao Xianzheng said, and the assistant sent the latest information about Lehman Brothers. "American Express is in contact with Lehman Brothers. It seems that it is not certain whether the consulting service of Blackstone can be completed."
After receiving the fax, William Miller frowned. "In recent years, American Express is actively entering the investment banking business before acquiring the securities company Hilson Loeb Rhodes. Now it's not surprising to aim at Lehman Brothers."
"What I'm worried about is whether Lehman Brothers will sit down and start the price?"
Gao Xian smiled. "It depends on Peterson's ability."
Peterson's response was quick, neither fast nor bad. Now Blackstone has a seed fund of US $400000, plus four people, including two partners Peter George Peterson and Stephen Allen Schwarzman, as well as two assistants.
Gao Xian joked: "Peter, Lehman Brothers seems to be very popular. I heard that American Express is flirting with it."
"Lewis gluxman is trying to find the way," Peterson said with a cold light in his eyes. "As long as goyimi decides to buy Lehman Brothers, I am sure to make it into goyimi's bag."
Gao Xian didn't mention the possibility of Lehman Brothers' sitting price. Just let the person in charge worry about it. He smiled and looked at William Miller.
"Well, we'll hire Blackstone to provide consulting services. If we succeed in acquiring Lehman Brothers, we'll pay at least $1 million." William Miller said, "we'll determine the detailed terms in the contract."
