Chapter 869 The News From Bond
When Citigroup heard the news that Li Changheng wanted to take a stake, the market value rose from 6.1 billion to 7.5 billion in a short period of time.
After signing the acquisition contract, the market value broke through 8 billion that day, and continued to rise slowly but firmly.
Then came the twenty days of the desert war, the oil embargo and the oil crisis.
When negotiating with Mobil at the beginning, Mobil boldly valued itself at tens of billions, while Citigroup also made a joke of quoting itself at 12 billion.
After it was reported that Li Changheng held crude oil from the United States and 30 million barrels of crude oil from England, and that he had arranged for the financial market of the island country earlier in the morning, it was confirmed.
Jokes are no longer jokes, but the admiration of the entire market for Li Changheng, and the envy of Citigroup and Mobil.
And after this action, Citigroup really made a profit of more than 300 million US dollars, and its market value broke through 16 billion, which is really not difficult.
When it made a profit of 300 million U.S. dollars last year, Citigroup's market value reached 6.1 billion.
With a profit of more than 600 million yuan this year, it is not as simple as doubling the market value.
Although Li Changheng is only the vice chairman of the board of directors, everyone knows that the action took place after he became a shareholder of Citigroup.
Regardless of whether it is ordinary investors, institutions or funds, they often pay more attention to the helmsman and the team.
The higher the investor's expectations for Li Changheng, the more people will follow him. The company's stock price and market value can easily exceed the market's expectations and normal valuation.
Once the 16 billion agreement was reached, Li Changheng began to worry that he did not have enough funds.
Or if you really use 400 million US dollars to buy 2.5% of the shares, the money in your hand will be empty again.
But if you don't buy it, you know that even if you don't get involved in Citigroup, the company's future market value will most likely exceed trillions of dollars.
400 million compared to 25 billion, probably no business can match this return.
Lee Jang Hyung accepted everyone's applause and thanks with a smile on his face, and looked at his watch.
I calculated in my mind that it would take five and a half hours before the market opens tomorrow in the island country.
It will take more than ten years for Frankfurt in West Germany to become a new financial center in the future.
The futures market in France has always been inferior to Singapore at this time and Hong Kong Island in the future.
So Li Changheng simply ordered Taylor and other supervisors to return to his home on Huayuan Street under the protection of Zhang Tianzhi, Barney, Franch and Kingsman.
As for the security of the exchange, although Citigroup's security is not well-known, it is only counted as guarding and keeping secrets.
He is good at fighting, and to a large extent, he is a knight shield of a mercenary company, and he may not be comparable to others.
Besides, this is London. Li Changheng didn't trust Philip and Downing Street, so he didn't send anyone to watch and protect this place.
When I got home, I saw Andrew and Bell Burke, who hadn't seen him for a long time, walked out of the villa, and quickly passed Annie who came out together to greet him.
Even when the car stopped, Andrew stretched out his hand and opened the door for Li Changheng himself.
"Henry, do we still have a chance?"
Li Changheng patted Andrew on the shoulder, but ignored him and kissed Annie, then looked at Bell and said, "Long time no see, my friend."
When Bell saw Li Changheng, who was much higher than him, he didn't take the initiative to extend his hand, and could only put his hands behind his back.
Standing up straight, bowing his head with a smile, he said, "It's true that we haven't seen each other for more than a year, Henry."
"Honey," Annie, who was being hugged by Li Changheng, patted his chest with her small hands, reminding him to be polite.
Only then did Li Changheng kiss Annie again, let her go and reached out to shake Bell's hand.
"Come on, let's have a drink tonight."
Bell nodded with a smile, and followed behind Li Changheng and Annie, accompanied by Andrew who had a displeased expression but did not dare to express it, under the watchful eyes of Zhang Tianzhi, Frankie, and Barney.
There were also ace agents Harry Hart and Lancet who didn't care, walked into the villa.
After only 20 minutes of dinner, Bell, who had been chatting about trivial matters for nearly a year, looked hesitantly at Zhang Tianzhi and the five people who sat at the table together because of Li Changheng's initiative to invite them.
Li Changheng, who noticed Bell's expression, sighed helplessly in his heart, and glanced at Annie, who also saw Bell's business, and Zhang Tianzhi and others.
Annie understood, and smiled to the housekeeper, Ms. Meryl, to signal the maid to go out.
Then he said to Zhang Tianzhi, "Zhang, just brought more than 20 pieces of Chinese cultural relics to Henry, you and the other 4 gentlemen, help Ms. Meryl put these cultural relics into the treasure room?"
The treasure room was supposed to be a secret place, and Annie let Zhang Tianzhi, Franky, Harry Hart, and Lanster enter, which was considered a kind of trust.
With the addition of Zhang Tianzhi and other 5 people, the meal was already very restrained, and they watched Li Changheng's expression from time to time.
Of course, Bell's hesitant expression can be seen, as well as the meaning of Li Changheng's eyes on Annie.
Zhang Tianzhi wiped his mouth with a napkin, stood up with a smile and said, "Okay, Your Highness, I will go to help with the other 4 gentlemen."
After Anne, Andrew and Bell were left in the restaurant, Bell looked at Li Changheng seriously and said, "Henry, do you know the 00 agent of MI6?"
Li Changheng frowned and became surprised after hearing this.
Originally, he thought that Bell was asking about how to make a fortune from the island country on behalf of other nobles who had a good relationship with him, but he didn't expect that Bell was actually talking about this matter.
After thinking for a few seconds, Li Changheng finally nodded.
Because since Bell is the director of England's foreign affairs, he does have the opportunity and possibility to learn many secrets that ordinary people cannot know.
"The famous Military Intelligence Bureau 00 Group, I don't think it's possible to know."
Hearing this, Bell was obviously relieved, but he didn't care how Li Changheng learned about Group 00.
"Now that you know, what I want to tell you is that the current 007 is currently investigating a mission of a mysterious aircraft in the island country.
I won't talk about the specific tasks, but according to the urgent message sent back by 007, it shows.
Someone sent a mission to assassinate you to a mysterious killer organization in the island country that has been passed down for hundreds of years.
The source of funds is likely to be a consortium or family in the island country.
And based on my judgment, the financial war you provoked against the island country this time will cause many consortia and families in the island country to lose billions of dollars in wealth.
In addition, you have taken many practical actions that are clearly hostile to island countries in recent years.
So, I think you have to pay attention to this matter. "
"God," Annie, who was sitting on Li Changheng's left hand, grabbed his left hand with frightened hands, "Honey, let's go to Buckingham Palace now."
"Calm down," Li Changheng grabbed Annie's hand and shook his head, but he turned his head to look at Bell indifferently and said, "Are you sure the islanders dare to assassinate me?"
No matter what Li Changheng thinks, he doesn't think that anyone in the island country dares to be so brainless.
When there was already a lot of trouble, there was an assassination against himself, a celebrity who was famous all over the world and had a profound influence in the United States and England.
Bell shook his head, "I remember that although the Miyaki Group died almost the same, not all the high-level people died."
