Chapter 759: Be a Dad Again

…

Throughout February 2005, nearly every news outlet filled their front pages with the Phoenix-Merrill merger. Coupled with the help of Schiff and Citigroup, as well as the counterattack of Guo Shouyun and related media. Whether the merger of Phoenix and Merrill Lynch involved a “monopoly”, involved the birth of a $2.5 trillion super financial entity, and quickly spread all over the world!

Bruce Guo, who is frequently mentioned because of this news, and because of the amazing size of Phoenix Merrill, finally has a side with Bill Gates, Buffett, Jamie Dimon, Jack Welch, Sam Wall Dayton’s reputation. And because of his amazing youth, he just passed his 25th birthday. Therefore, the status in the hearts of young people around the world quickly surpassed that of the original richest man in the world, Bill Gates, and it has become the direction of everyone’s efforts, and it has also become the mantra and representative of wealth for many people.

No matter what the outside world is like, Guo Shouyun has returned to San Francisco from New York, waiting for the birth of his fifth child with peace of mind.

“How about it?”

“The child is very healthy, Mr. Guo, please rest assured!”

The doctor who just finished examining Wendy quickly replied.

“Thank you, Doctor Shane!”

Guo Shouyun said with a sigh of relief.

“You’re too kind, it’s my duty!”

Seeing Wendy walking out of the ward with the help of the nurse, Guo Shouyun gave the doctor a quick nod and hurried over to help her arm.

“Dear, how are you feeling?”

“Yeah! Except for wanting to sleep, want to eat, and this little guy always kicking me in there, everything else is fine.” Wendy’s face shone with the brilliance of motherhood and a deep sense of satisfaction.

“Come on, I’ll help you out for a walk!”

For Wendy and the child in her womb, Guo Shouyun moved almost all the equipment of an obstetrics and gynecology hospital to his manor. Even the doctors and nurses are top notch, and there are several rotations. Under the conditions, he is not stingy with spending money in this regard.

He supported Wendy for a walk on the lawn behind the manor, and said some personal words. Their tenderness was interrupted by the visiting couple Liu Zhixing and Katherine Lincoln.

“Wendy, I really envy you, you’re going to be a mother soon!”

Looking at her friend’s pregnant belly in October, the envy in Catherine’s words and expressions was evident. Since Liu Zhixing let go and the two began to prepare for pregnancy, there has been no movement for a few months. You can imagine the envy of Katherine, who desperately wants to be a mother.

“Catherine, I believe you will be a mother soon too!”

“Yeah!…I’ll help you!” After saying that, he gave Guo Shouyun a roll of eyes, “Be conscious and go to the back!”

Guo Shouyun shrugged and consciously gave up space to the two women.

He walked side by side with Liu Zhixing in the back.

“Old Liu, have you taken Catherine to the hospital for an examination?”

Liu Zhixing already has a daughter. If Catherine wasn’t pregnant, it was probably not his problem.

Liu Zhixing smiled wryly, “I have been to several authoritative hospitals, and they all say there is no problem.”

“That shouldn’t be! … What about you, didn’t you check it?”

“I checked, everything is normal. Maybe God thinks I shouldn’t have a second child now!”

“Damn, when did we Chinese people believe in ghosts and gods? I think you and Catherine are still too nervous. Maybe go on a trip, take a vacation, relax and win the bid.”

“We thought about it, too. But we don’t have the time now!”

Guo Shouyun nodded, he knew what Liu Zhi’s jargon meant. Behind the merger of Phoenix and Merrill Lynch is the Bruce Fund, and Liu Zhixing is in charge of the specific administrative management besides him, who is responsible for the strategic planning behind the Bruce Fund. He certainly can’t let go of travel until the dust settles on the multi-billion-dollar merger.

“Bruce, the current turmoil is too big. The merger of Phoenix and Merrill has become a vortex of public opinion in the United States. If it is not terminated in time, I am afraid that there will be an accident in the end!” Liu Zhixing said solemnly.

“I know. But Phoenix and Merrill are huge. Just the financial review takes a lot of time, plus the merger and abolition of the organization, the adjustment of the personnel structure, etc., these all take time. Of course, I also know that time is precious. , so at most one week. The merger plan of Phoenix and Merrill Lynch can be finalized, and then everything can be pushed forward step by step.”

Liu Zhixing nodded, and after a moment of silence, “I’m afraid they may not give us a week.”

“Don’t worry! Our business for so many years is not in vain!”

Guo Shouyun patted his shoulder and smiled.

“Um!”

“What about Yahoo and eBay shares now?”

“Sold part of it. The remaining 12.9% of Yahoo was sold to Microsoft, and 14.2% of eBay was sold to Fidelity Fund. After paying off debts and acquiring Fidelity’s shares of Merrill Lynch, there are currently 19 billion left on the account. Dollar.”

Because the Merrill Lynch shares of the Morgan family only got the voting rights rather than the acquisition, the remaining liquidity is expected to be much more.

“…if we back Pacific Energy to complete the acquisition of Scottish Power, we have $14.5 billion left.”

Scottish Power’s purchase price is 10.7 billion pounds, or about $15 billion in pounds and dollars. Guo Shouyun gave Pacific 30%, or $4.5 billion, as leverage to complete the acquisition, and the rest was settled with bank loans.

“This money is temporarily left in the account!”

Liu Zhixing nodded.

“In addition, you communicate with Stephen and sell the shares of Netflix and Veolia to them temporarily.”

“Selling shares of Netflix and Veolia?” Liu Zhixing showed surprise on his face.

“Well!…I need liquidity to deal with future changes!” He didn’t hide it from his most trusted subordinates.

“If you’re referring to the real estate crisis, it’s too early.”

“Not real estate, but gold and oil.”

Liu Zhixing’s pupils shrank, “What are your plans?”

“The alliance of the Schiff family, Citigroup, ING Group, and Chevron, don’t they do everything possible to suppress the price of gold and oil, and want to make a lot of money from me? I’ll just play with them. LinkedIn The grievances of obstructing the merger of Phoenix and Merrill always need to be resolved.”

Liu Zhixing’s heart jumped, and he said quickly, “Are you sure? This is a huge sum of at least 20 billion US dollars!”

“I’m not 100% sure, but there are 60 to 70 percent.”

Before the subprime mortgage crisis, both gold and oil were in an upward channel. As long as this general trend remains unchanged, he will win. Of course, there are many variables in the short-term competition, so in order for him to win steadily, he has to prepare more funds.

“Come on people!”

A scream full of panic interrupted the chat between the two.

“Bruce, come here. Wendy’s water broke!”

“what?”

Guo Shouyun’s heart tightened and he chased after his legs.

“Call the doctor, Wendy’s amniotic fluid broke.” Catherine said anxiously.

Guo Shouyun lost his usual composure when he looked at the sore face of his lover and the wet hem of his clothes.

“Okay, okay, I’ll call right away, right away!”

He is also concerned and chaotic. Since Wendy was more than 24 weeks pregnant, she has been accompanied by doctors and nurses almost 24 hours a day. Therefore, before Guo Shouyun’s phone call was opened, the doctor and nurse who heard Catherine’s voice had already rushed up from the side. Everyone hurriedly carried her on a simple stretcher and quickly sent her to the delivery room provided by the manor.

After struggling for an hour, Guo Shouyun’s fifth child was born smoothly. Time is stuck on March 7, 2005!

…

Just as Guo Shouyun was enjoying the joy of the birth of his child, others were pushing ahead with their plans non-stop.

“Mr. Snow, ma’am, it is my honor to invite the two of you to dinner!”

“Mr. Schiff is very kind, and it is our honor to receive your invitation!”

To be able to make John Snow, the Minister of Finance, be so polite, only the patriarch Gesell Schiff, who now presides over the affairs of the entire Schiff family, has this qualification.

“Please!”

“thanks!”

The Snows, along with the Schiffs, sat down at the table next to them.

“In order to entertain the two of you, I specially invited Mr. Chris, the best three-Michelin star chef in New York, so if you want to eat, just ask.”

“Thank you! Then we’ll be welcome!”

“So much the better!”

After the Snows ordered a few items, “Add a French sandwich and fish soup, plus a bottle of 90-year-old Romanee Conti!”

“OK, just a second!”

After the waiter left, Old Schiff smiled and said, “Next Saturday, I plan to hold a charity dinner, so I would like to take this opportunity to sincerely invite the two of you to attend!”

After the Snow couple looked at each other, Connery said, “We are not sure if we have time~www.mtlnovel.com~ If we have time, we will definitely make the appointment on time.”

Old Schiff nodded, “I heard that Christopher plans to change jobs?”

“I didn’t expect Mr. Schiff to know about my son!” John Snow’s eyes flashed.

He shares three children with his wife, Connery, Bradley, Ian and Christopher. The former is the vice president of the US Eastern Railroad Freight Company, Ian serves as the assistant secretary of international affairs in the government’s Treasury Department, and the youngest Christopher is a lawyer in the Vega law firm, all of which are social elites. This is also the norm in the United States.

“William learned about it by chance when he went to Vega Law Firm last week to talk about things.” He said lightly, “Recently, there is a vacancy for deputy minister in Citi’s legal department. If Christopher is interested, I can recommend him to serve as this. Position.”

Christopher, as the youngest son of the Snow couple, has just graduated from college for only five years. If he can become the deputy head of Citi’s legal department, he will not only make his resume brighter, but also use this platform to greatly broaden his horizons and improve his career. own ability.

For such an opportunity, the Snow couple, who are parents, are naturally willing to fight for their son.

“In addition, Citi Co-President Harvey Schwartz is retiring. On behalf of Citi, it is my sincere hope that Mr. Snow will take over this position when he leaves the Treasury Department.”
