Age of Dreams

Tony came to Daoyin City faster than Xiao Qi imagined.

A group of talents from Merrill Lynch and Goldman Sachs returned to Rongcheng, and he knocked on the door of Mayor Xiao's house in a short while.

Xiao Qi was flirting with the little lark making dumplings, when Tony came in, the faces of the couple were still covered with traces of white flour.

"Hehe, Qi Shao!"

After saying hello to Mayor Xiao and his wife, Tony sat directly opposite Xiao Qi, and he spoke Chinese for the word "Qi Shao".

"Tony, I'm afraid you should lose a little weight." Looking at the sofa that was almost collapsed, Xiao Qi said angrily.

Originally, Tony came here with the intention of wanting to ask for guilt.

But when he saw Xiao Qi, he didn't feel guilty at all, instead he looked a little impatient, and suddenly became vigilant in his heart.

Quickly put on a familiar smile, Tony smiled and said, "Who said Shuchuan cuisine is delicious and nourishing? It seems that I can't lose my weight normally... It's rare that you had a good relationship with Merrill Lynch and Goldman Sachs before." Negotiations, almost scared me to lose a lot of fat."

Xiao Qi said in a flat voice: "It's good to lose weight, it's not that much of a burden."

The two spoke English, and with Shen Wuyan's English level, they naturally couldn't understand.

But just by looking at their expressions, one can tell that there are too many meanings hidden in their words.

It is very rare for a truly smart person to speak frankly. The art of conversation is also a test of a person's ability to deal with things.

Seeing that Xiao Qi still didn't respond, Tony could only bite the bullet and asked directly: "Qi Shao, we at Citi have cooperated very well with you from the beginning to the end, why did you borrow 2 billion each from Merrill Lynch and Goldman Sachs this time?" What about US dollars? Citigroup can also give you this money!"

"Cooperation is time and time again. It used to be good. Not necessarily now." Xiao Qi looked at him playfully, "Tony, you, Wade, Mr. Jabil, etc., are all good friends, but that doesn't mean Citibank is my good friend... I asked Citigroup for a loan of 5 billion US dollars, and your assessment accounted for 30% of the shares of Dream Pad. Merrill Lynch and Goldman Sachs only calculated 10% each, and the interest rate was lower than yours. Why do you tell me not to choose them?"

Tony's face flushed instantly.

He is aware of some changes in the headquarters of Citibank.

Since the dream pad was born, not only Goldman Sachs, Merrill Lynch, Morgan, etc. are jealous, but Citigroup is also salivating.

Jabil and Wade, who have a good relationship with Xiao Qi, tried to persuade him again and again. Don't lose the big because of small things, and offend this supreme genius with a bright future for Xiao Qi's dream pad shares that he will never sell.

They believed that Citibank should stick to its duty and continuously provide Xiao Qi with various financial supports and services, so as to strengthen the relationship with each other so as to obtain more benefits in the future.

But many people in the headquarters were blinded by greed.

They feel that according to the power of Citigroup. As well as the friendship that has been formed, Xiao Qi should give the benefits to Citigroup. Even if you don't want to sell the shares now, but take it out for IPO, Citigroup will definitely do its part.

Deliberately underestimating the value of Xiao Qi's dream pad is a good thing they did.

Jabil also instructed Tony to explain when necessary.

But no one expected that the young man was so decisive and cunning. In the blink of an eye, he hooked up with his former enemy. This kind of heart and calculation spread to Tony's ears, making him completely chilled.

dream pad is a magic weapon!

As long as Xiao Qi holds it in his hand, then the financial predators all over the world will be able to. They all want to jump over and get some benefits in it.

For example, the Royal Bank of Scotland that appeared in the East before, as well as the No. 1 Deutsche Bank in Germany, the French National Bank, etc., are all existences that dominate their countries. If they come out to compete, one can imagine how fierce it will be.

In this case, to annoy Xiao Qi and scrap all the previous accumulation, that is something that makes people want to cry without tears.

"Qi Shao..." Tony said dryly, "You also know that Citibank is very big, and there are some things that the people below us cannot decide."

"I know." Xiao Qi smiled slightly, "Otherwise, I wouldn't ask you to continue helping me to give Daoyin City a loan."

Although only Xiao Qi's family switched from left to right, Citibank, which is in the middle of coordination, has benefited a lot.

Xiao Qi deposited 1 billion RMB in Citibank, which was regarded as a deposit absorbed by Citibank, and a loan of 1 billion was guaranteed by depositing 1 billion, and lent to the Daoyin City Government, which was considered a loan released.

After coming and going, a business of 2 billion yuan was obtained. It must be said that Xiao Qi wanted to help Tony.

Hearing this, Tony's heart finally settled down a bit: "Qi Shao, I don't know what else we at Citibank can do to help? This time they didn't do a good job with the dream pad mortgage loan, but we still You can fight back."

Citibank is very, very large, so it is not surprising that different departments and factions make conflicting decisions.

Anyway, in the end, heroes are judged by success or failure, and whoever is right will gain more benefits, so there is a reason why Tony proposed to join forces with Xiao Qi to fight against his own people this time.

"Not for the time being." Xiao Qi will not be without a city mansion, and said with a smile: "But I would like to invite you, President Tony, to lead a team and hold a meeting with Mayor Xiao on revitalizing the economy as soon as possible."

"A meeting to revitalize the economy?" Tony was a little confused at first, but soon understood, "I see, I will send someone to contact the Yuanyin City Government today, how about tomorrow morning?"

"Can."

Xiao Qi smiled.

Tony was indeed a smart person, and immediately knew that what Xiao Qi said was not a substantive discussion, but just a show.

Don't underestimate this kind of behavior. In China, officials who can invite foreign-funded enterprises to hold meetings have always been considered very capable.

This is especially true for people like Xiao Xu who have just entered Daoyin City and urgently need some achievements to establish their authority.

At present, it seems that there is no more suitable force than Citibank, a century-old banking giant.

It is naturally impossible for Xiao Xu to rely on foreigners to build cities, but it is very necessary to use Citibank to stabilize people's hearts.

Once the people's hearts are stable and they are willing to implement the policies formulated by Mayor Xiao, then the economic revitalization of Daoyin City and the prosperity of the people will be truly hopeful. (To be continued..)
