Chapter 755 Bloomberg

…

And compared with ordinary clubs, the gross profit margin of such top-level high-end clubs is much higher. Taking his Hanshan Courtyard in San Francisco as an example, in 2004, the combined return of various expenses such as membership fees and catering income was 118 million US dollars, and the gross profit rate was as high as 51.3%.

Of course, the generation of such high income and high gross profit relies heavily on the personal connections and relationships of the club owner. If Guo Shouyun didn’t have his current status, Hanshan Bieyuan would be nothing.

“Squeak!”

When Guo Shouyun pushed open the door of Box No. 9 on the second floor, the people inside also looked at the door subconsciously. As soon as their eyes met, Guo Shouyun smiled and walked over to the middle-aged man who was about to get up, dressed in a black suit, with sharp eyes and a serious expression.

“Mr. Bloomberg, it’s an honor to meet you.”

“Mr. Guo is very polite. It is also my honor to meet such a young talent as Your Excellency.”

Michael Bloomberg surveyed the young man in front of him. Although he was mentally prepared for a long time, thinking of the achievements of the other party, and looking at his face younger than his own son, this visual and psychological impact still made his heart a bit complicated.

If there is one sentence to describe his current state of mind, it would be more appropriate to have a child like Sun Zhongmou.

After Guo Shouyun smiled, “Please sit down!”

“thanks!”

After Wang Jue and Wu Xiaojing greeted the service staff and served tea.

“Mr. Bloomberg has always been a business predecessor I respect very much. Bloomberg has been able to rise rapidly in less than three decades, and overwhelm Thomson and Reuters (the two have not yet merged) to become the The world’s largest business finance company, Your Excellency’s leadership and management skills are admirable. The most amazing thing is that in addition to business, Mr. Bloomberg has an amazing talent in politics.”

“…Since Your Excellency took office as mayor of New York City in November 2001, it has not only effectively appeased citizens who were panicked by 9/11, but also created tens of thousands of jobs for New York City in the following years, bringing A $6 billion deficit turned into a multibillion-dollar surplus. And led a city government that increased New York’s high school graduation rate by 40 percent, reduced crime by a third, and made New York the safest in the world One of the cities. Reduced carbon emissions in New York City by nearly 20% and increased life expectancy by three years.”

“…Mr. Bloomberg has achieved more in business and politics than I have!”

Humans are animals that need affirmation. Even emperors like to hear good things, and so does Michael Bloomberg. What’s more, it is Guo Shouyun, who has risen rapidly and has an amazing position in the global business world, especially the financial world.

“Mr. Guo is very polite. Although I have some achievements in politics, I am far behind Mr. Guo in business. If nothing else, Merrill Lynch’s strength and influence are much more than Bloomberg’s.” Michael Bloomberg laughed.

“It’s really a pleasant thing to be recognized by Your Excellency!” After a pause, Guo Shouyun’s eyes flashed, “Does Mr. Bloomberg think the merger of Merrill Lynch and Phoenix is ​​a monopoly?”

Looking at his gaze, Michael Bloomberg’s heart moved.

“Mr. Guo, I’m afraid I can’t answer this question. Your Excellency needs to convince the American public that the merger of Phoenix and Merrill is not a monopoly on the financial industry.”

“Of course! But if you want to convince the American public, you need an opportunity or channel to let them know the truth about the merger of Phoenix and Merrill.” Guo Shouyun stared at Bloomberg.

The latter’s eyes flashed. Before he came, he thought of the reason why Guo Shouyun met him. Now that everything is as he guessed, there is no need to keep the good answer. Before that, though, he still has some questions to ask.

“Mr. Guo, Merrill Lynch has been selling its private equity holdings for a while now. I’m curious about the reason? You must know that the U.S. stock market has been rising recently, and the U.S. economy is also very healthy.”

“We just need some capital to reduce Merrill’s exposure and invest in emerging industries with higher returns. Also, private equity I prefer to concentrate rather than cast a wide net, so you see, Bloomberg and Veri We did not sell Sen’s shares.” Guo Shouyun replied.

After Michael Bloomberg nodded clearly, he looked directly at him and said, “What if Bloomberg also opposes the merger of Phoenix and Merrill?”

“Because of the huge amount of private equity investment, I have always been very cautious. In addition to knowing the details of its operations, the leadership of the company is also something I value. In particular, a leader with a good relationship is easier to gain my trust.” After a pause, Guo Shouyun smiled and said, “I think Mr. Bloomberg understands what I mean!”

“Mr. Guo has said it so clearly, how could I not understand!”

Merrill Lynch holds more than 20% of Bloomberg’s shares. With such a heavy proportion, if it sells on a large scale, it will definitely cause panic in the market. If Merrill Lynch takes the opportunity to go short again, he is very sure that if he rejects Guo Shouyun’s cooperation, then Merrill Lynch, Phoenix, even Thunder and Hanhua Holdings, which is far in the East, will join in the action of shorting Bloomberg.

Under this series of blows, Bloomberg’s stock price fell two or three percent is a sure thing, if the situation is worse, there will be more. At that time, not only will his worth shrink significantly, but also Bloomberg’s own business will be affected. The world cannot recover its vitality without two or three years or more.

In contrast, agreeing to cooperate with the other party can not only attract a business for Bloomberg, but also close the relationship with this fast-rising young rich man who has not yet seen the peak.

Of course, he also received calls from some of his Wall Street friends, such as Goldman Sachs and senior Citizens, asking him to refuse to cooperate with Bruce Guo. But just empty promises, or even slight interests, could not impress him at all.

“Mr. Bloomberg understands. In addition, if you are willing~www.readmtl.com~After the merger of Phoenix and Merrill Lynch, we will launch a financing. I personally hope that you can participate!”

Michael Bloomberg’s eyes lit up. This is a good opportunity to make money.

“When? How much is Mr. Guo going to raise?”

“The specific time has not yet been set, but it will definitely be in this quarter. The amount of financing is tentatively set at 20 billion US dollars, which will increase or decrease depending on the specific situation.” Guo Shouyun said.

“$20 billion is not a small amount.” Bloomberg’s pupils shrank.

“There are too many people who are interested in Phoenix Merrill, and I’m afraid that it won’t be enough.”

“Mr. Guo is not afraid of too much financing and losing control of the company?”

Guo Shouyun smiled lightly, “As long as I can still make money for everyone, I believe that the board of directors will still support me as the chairman of Phoenix Merrill Lynch. As for control, Schiff Family Fund, Goldman Sachs, Citi, and Lehman do not think that Phoenix and Merrill are the same. Is the merger a monopoly? Then I’ll stop them with the facts.”

“Mr. Guo’s mind is admirable. I think your choice will definitely give Phoenix Merrill a more brilliant future.”

“It should be us.”

Looking at his meaningful smile, Michael Bloomberg was stunned, and then smiled: “Yes, it should be said that it is us!” …
