Morak didn't hesitate, made an excuse, and ran to John Thain's office.

John, who had not had a good night's sleep since he took office, frowned when he saw his son, who usually only knew how to idle around, running towards him, not even giving him a good look.

But when Morak, like a thief, told him that he met Xiao Qi today and sold him three high-quality assets owned by Merrill Lynch, Thain's expression kept changing.

Seeing that his father didn't get angry, Morak knew that he was also tempted, and he quickly smiled shyly and said: "Dad, do you think Xiao Qi asked me to go up tonight, or did he call you? This guy is really not talking at all.

clear."

"Nonsense, only an idiot like you heard it wrong." Thain scolded his son: "He already said that you have never met, so he still wants to invite you to discuss business? And you think you are qualified to drink champagne with Xiao Qi?

?You think too highly of yourself?"

Being belittled by his father, Morak didn't feel the slightest anger, because as long as Thain was willing to talk to him, it proved that he had listened to his heart.

"Dad, look at Merrill Lynch's state. Even if he can be saved, he won't have much to gain. If you don't think about me, you should think about your retirement life, right?" Morak said: "Xiao Qi has always been generous in his actions.

No matter what company you buy, the money you pay to the middlemen is enough. If you play a role this time, then I believe you will receive more than me, at least a suitcase."

While speaking, Morak took out the large envelope from his pocket and handed it to Thane.

Thain looked at the bearer treasury bonds inside, nodded, and gave them back to his son.

Morak put the big envelope back into his arms and said encouragingly: "There is a value of 500,000 in it. I just gave him a piece of information and that's all I got. Dad, think about it! If such a big deal could be facilitated,

Business. Can we get astronomical rebates worth hundreds of millions of dollars?"

"Hundreds of millions?" Thain laughed dumbly, "Hundreds of millions for you! Xiao Qi wants to buy shares in these companies. It's useless just to get through my relationship. He still has many things that need public relations, and it costs too much!

If we can get it in our hands, even 30 million U.S. dollars, that’s pretty good!”

"Only 30 million?" Morak was a little disappointed.

"Don't think this is less." Thain looked at his son and said a few more words: "Now when the company is in turmoil, it is lucky to have this money to settle down. You know, a bankrupt company

For companies like this, severance packages for senior executives are subject to federal court supervision, and are much less than this!”

"But what if we help Xiao Qi lower the price?" Morak didn't understand at all. "For example, the shares of Bloomberg News and the shares of Black Rock Group have a certain price range, right?"

"Well, if that's the case, there should be more." Thain said calmly: "But I can't say how much we can do. We can only see when the time comes. You have to remember that something like this will happen in the future.

, you must be cautious, making money is not the most important thing, the most important thing is not to involve yourself!"

"I know." Morak smiled and said, "Dad, do you think I'm still so naive? Didn't I leave Sam alone this time and meet Xiao Qi quietly?"

"If you hadn't done that, I wouldn't have said so much to you today." Thain nodded happily, and he also had a hint of appreciation for his son in his heart. He felt that he could still train him in the future.

"I will go home first today, and then you drive me there." Thain couldn't help but add another warning: "You must not tell others, whether it is successful or not, this matter will be rotten in your stomach! Otherwise, you must not tell others.

Even if the matter is leaked, I don’t know if Xiao Qi has anything wrong with him, but we will definitely go to jail. Do you understand?"

"I see."

Morak promised excitedly and solemnly.

"One more thing, if the matter leaks out..." Thain continued: "You must remember that you don't know anything! Everything has nothing to do with you."

"Dad..." Morak couldn't help but said, "It won't be that dangerous, right?"

"Whether it's dangerous or not, you have to remember this anyway!" Thain looked at his son with a smile and said, "You're still young. You can't fall here."

"Um!"

Morak looked at Thane, his eyes full of respect and gratitude for his father.

…

The most prosperous area in New York is Manhattan. This long and narrow island corridor is densely crowded with countless world-class companies. Therefore, many apartments here are also prepared for the executives of these companies, and many of them are very expensive.

The small high-end apartment that Taylor rented before had already been bought by her with the dividends from her records.

It's just that as she is pregnant with Xiao Qi's baby, it will not be suitable to live in such a small house in the future, so she is temporarily free and prepares to be a sister. When Austin grows up, she will make this worth millions.

gave him the small apartment.

The bodyguards stayed nearby, chatting quietly, mostly talking about their experiences in New York.

Different from the bodyguards who came last time, this time there is a new group. After all, there are still not many opportunities for Chinese people to go abroad. It is only fair that we have to change them and everyone comes out to experience them.

The business trip subsidies Xiao Qi gave them were very generous. When they went abroad, it was basically 1,000 US dollars a day, which was enough for them to buy many things to give to their family and friends back home.

Yu Shanshan supervised the finance department. As a wife, she didn't say anything about Xiao Qi's generosity. After all, those people followed their husbands out and had to block the gun when necessary. Without generous treatment, who would be willing to work for you?

However, the person in charge couldn't help but sigh, if I had only known that I would have learned martial arts and joined the army, if I had gone out with the little boss like this, a week's subsidy would be at least two or three months' salary!

In fact, the bodyguards themselves had heard such rumors, but seeing that Xiao Qi had never wavered, their hearts were set. Since the little boss gave such a generous gift, the most they could do was to take care of themselves when the situation was dangerous.

Hello.

Xiao Qi drank green tea by himself and continued to think about what he had been thinking about all afternoon.

As one of the largest securities and financial investment banks in the world, Merrill Lynch holds an unknown amount of assets. Although its apparent stock market value is as high as US$44 billion, the capital it secretly controls has already approached this level.

number.

Otherwise, they have lost more than 20 billion US dollars in losses in the past two years. If there is no hidden goods, where will the money come from to make up for the asset write-downs?

Xiao Qi is very interested in the three assets mentioned by Morak today, but financial data companies are a target of Middle Easterners. If Xiao Qi insists on fighting for them, he may suffer a heavy attack, even if they are

Even if you get it, it's not worth the gain.

So if you narrow your target a little, you can target Bloomberg News and Black Rock Group.

After taking possession of Bloomberg News, not only can you get more financial information, but you can also enjoy the asset appreciation brought about by the continuous development of Bloomberg. It is considered a super high-quality asset and can be used as the second generation of the Xiao family.

Core assets exist.

But if he could only choose one among the three, Xiao Qi would choose the Black Rock Group.

Not only because Blackrock Group is the largest asset management company in the world, with a very elite management team and financial team, but also because it is a company spun off from Blackstone Group. Blackstone Group dreams of investing in Blackrock Group again, or simply both.

were merged into one company.

If Xiao Qi can hold 49.8% of Black Rock Group's shares, then he will be the largest shareholder of Black Rock Group, and will be directly qualified to negotiate with Black Rock Group. And if Black Rock Group wants to buy Black Rock Group's shares

If so, then they can only exchange Cho Girl's shares and cash. I believe that in their eyes, Black Rock Group's shares are definitely more important than Cho Girl's shares!

In this way, Xiao Qi's shares in Cho Sex Girl can be increased to 60%, making it easier to acquire or inject capital.

To put it bluntly, no matter how valuable the wealth of these American companies is, it is not as important as Xiao Qi's desire to please his wife, Little Meiji.

While I was thinking, the doorbell rang.

The bodyguard first looked at the peephole, then looked at the photos in the magazine, and then opened the door.

The slightly wealthy John Thain looked inside with a smile and saw the young man standing in the living room.

"Qi Shao! I didn't expect that we would meet under such circumstances!" Thain said with emotion as he shook hands with Xiao Qi.

When Xiao Qi was doing the betting business, he cheated a lot of people, but only Goldman Sachs and Merrill Lynch fell into Xiao Qi's hands twice in a row, losing nearly 2 billion US dollars.

In normal times, a loss of US$2 billion would be nothing, but the US$1 billion oil bet that expired on December 31 last year really damaged investors' confidence in Merrill Lynch, leading to Merrill Lynch's situation.

aggravate the deterioration.

Logically speaking, the people at Merrill Lynch should hate Xiao Qi, but Thain only became a fire-fighting expert in December last year, so he has no hatred for Xiao Qi. Instead, he admires Xiao Qi for successfully extracting teeth from a tiger's mouth several times in a row. No

Such a stunning talent is absolutely impossible to achieve!

At the same time, now, he is also glad that he has not participated in the bet that Xiao Qi once clamored that "the price of oil will inevitably reach 150 US dollars". Otherwise, looking at the current oil price of close to 140 US dollars, it would be another tragedy of delivering food to Xiao Qi.

.——Of course, he is not the only one who is happy. In fact, all the companies that have had this idea but failed to implement it in the end are popping champagne to celebrate.
