Age of Dreams

() "Mr. Xiao is so proud! If you tell these employees, they will definitely work harder for you." Wade nodded, appreciating Xiao Qi's boldness and generosity: "If you are willing to accept I would like to divide this burden into three payments, so there should be no problem."

It is indeed much more convenient than Xiao Qi to have Wade to help with the discussion.

The Citibank he represented was originally engaged in these tasks, and his strong connections were enough to give them a lot of points.

It's just that these people really don't know gold and jade, and they actually regard a treasure mountain as a burden. After two years, I don't know if these people will regret it and cry.

Therefore, a forward-looking vision can only be possessed by a wise man!

Xiao Qi smiled: "Then let's do it like this. I won't show up for now. I'll take the negotiated contract to Mario's Law Firm for review. After confirming that it's correct, we can sign a deal."

"OK."

"There is another thing. I want to borrow part of the loan from Citibank. I don't know how much Mr. Wade can decide?" Xiao Qi said in a flat voice: "The collateral I can take out is Merrill Lynch and Goldman Sachs. VAM contract, you also have a certain risk."

Wade immediately frowned, looking embarrassed.

But in fact, his heart burst into laughter.

The complexity of Citibank's information, the wide range of business involved, and the comprehensive thinking of issues are definitely beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

In fact, since the unexpected downward trend in oil prices within three months, Citibank immediately noticed Xiao Qi's two gambling contracts with a total value of nearly three billion US dollars.

After analysis by more than a dozen senior experts and elites, the original "not optimistic" was directly changed to "very optimistic". From "a total loss of 500 million" to "at least a profit of 1 billion".

Therefore, Citibank gave Wade a task, which is to participate in the banquet sharing of wealth.

Of course, they didn't come to snatch Xiao Qi's profits, but prepared various financial services to actively solve follow-up problems for Xiao Qi. Use this to make money.

It is not to occupy the wealth of customers, but to help customers achieve mutual profit.

Compared with those people in Huaguo who are ugly, this trick of Citibank is undoubtedly the foundation for them to gain a foothold in the world for hundreds of years.

One of the tailor-made ones for Xiao Qi by Citibank is to provide him with a loan to help him complete the acquisition in the United States.

Now that Xiao Qi took the initiative to say it, Wade decided to sell a favor.

"Well, you originally had very little collateral, so we couldn't do this. What if the price of oil suddenly rises in the future?" Wade said with a sad face for a while, then gritted his teeth and made a decision: "Okay, Let me fight for you, Mr. Xiao, how much are you planning to borrow?"

"The minimum is 500 million U.S. dollars, and no more than 800 million U.S. dollars." Xiao Qi calculated the answer.

"I'll go back and discuss with them, and I'll give you an answer later, it will take a day or two at most." Wade stretched out his hand. "Please believe me, Mr. Xiao. Personally, I maintain the most optimistic attitude towards our cooperation."

"Me too." Xiao Qi smiled and shook hands with him, "For the imagination of cooperation, I think it would be better for us to have a meal together in the evening and have a chat."

"It's time for me to invite you." Wade said hastily, "Here in Manhattan. There is a delicious Italian restaurant. I'll be the host tonight. I would like to ask Mr. Xiao to show respect."

"thanks."

Xiao Qi nodded and agreed.

He is not very sure about reaching an agreement with Citibank.

It's just that seeing that Wade didn't refuse, he understood. Citibank must have thought about it, so by the way, I said the amount I needed.

For such a large amount, Wade still only said that it would be fine to discuss it for a day or two, so there should be no big problem.

In addition to the more than 100 million spent on Nortel Networks, the purchase of office buildings in the United States, the establishment of new companies, and the continuous payment of various materials and patent royalties, they are all a lot of money, three to five billion Can be used up.

If Citibank disagrees, Xiao Qi will use the various patents of his dreampad to carry out mortgage loans in Huaguo. With Uncle Niu's face, billions can still be loaned out casually.

In addition, Xiao Qi is not a fraudulent loan, so there is no pressure at all to find someone to help.

Well now, Citibank intends to join in first, and they will provide US dollars, Xiao Qi can use the money directly without going through a foreign exchange procedure, which is much more convenient.

As for the reason why Citibank is optimistic about Xiao Qi...

Hehe, need I say more?

The ever-falling oil price will definitely step on the hearts of Merrill Lynch and Goldman Sachs one after another, and at the same time it will continue to strengthen their confidence in Xiao Qi.

...

Although the United States is full of money, it is also good. As long as the money is enough, they are more active than anyone else, and they guarantee the quality.

While the production line and various equipment are still in the process of being transported, 201 workers and managers have already set off from the United States. Together with British engineers, they will build a complete semiconductor chip in the factory area of ​​Fairy Company The factory building, the 20 production lines will be put into production here in the future, providing Fairy Company with an endless stream of dream chips.

Fortunately, among the 1,200 mu of land that Xiao Qi bought, there is a full 700 mu of industrial land. The previous assembly workshop only occupied a small area. Even with the addition of the logistics park near the third ring road, the large Part of the land is still vacant, and it is more than enough to build a semiconductor chip factory.

But no one knows that when it comes to the production of semiconductors and electronic components, pollution is certain. Xiao Qi gave an order to the engineers in Britain and the United States, that is, the environmental protection standards of the factory must be built to be the same as those in Europe and the United States. He didn't want those pollution to destroy his headquarters, and the school that the fairy wife was about to attend.

In fact, everyone thinks that the factories next to the school will pollute, but there are too many such factories in Europe and the United States, but people have ways to avoid harm, otherwise environmental organizations will not spare them.

In fact, there is nothing difficult about European and American standards, but it just costs a little more and the equipment is more rigorous.

What's the matter, money is earned by people and spent by people, as long as Xiao Qi thinks it's worth it, then it's worth spending it.

As for the construction of the factory building, it is even simpler. Under the command of the engineers, the workers of Huaguo Construction can be said to be handy in building it, and it can be put into use within a month at most. This is just the time to debug the machine and trial production without any delay. . (to be continued...)
