Li Dong felt that he was done messing around, and his whole body felt refreshed.
After Tan Yong left, Jiang Bin's face darkened.
Of course, Tan Yong was not as direct as Li Dong. Li Dong's exact words were that if anything happened to Shen Qian, Jiang Bin would have to bear the consequences.
If Tan Yong had said this, Jiang Bin would not have let it go.
So Tan Yong changed it to "General Manager Li is very concerned about Ms. Shen and doesn't want anything to happen to her. Otherwise, General Manager Li will be very angry."
No matter how he changed it, the meaning was there.
Li Dong was warning Jiang Bin.
It had been many years since Jiang Bin had experienced this.
Previously, Shen Qian had done it, but she had never said it to Jiang Bin face to face.
Now, Li Dong had not even come in person, but sent a message through his bodyguard. His contempt and threat were obvious.
See, I don't even have to come in person to threaten you. My bodyguards are enough. Are you afraid?
It would be strange if Jiang Bin was not angry.
Seeing Jiang Bin's steely face, the woman sitting next to him said softly, "It should be Han Yu's doing. Don't take it to heart."
The woman was also afraid that Jiang Bin could not let go of his pride. It was not worth it to go against Li Dong over such a small matter.
Although Li Dong was no longer in the political world, he had a high reputation in both the political and business circles.
If Jiang Bin's father came forward, Li Dong would obediently bow his head. Because no matter how rich Li Dong was, his status was not as high as that person's.
But to be honest, Jiang Bin and Li Dong were not on the same level.
Unless Jiang Bin used his father's influence, it was useless for Jiang Bin to find anyone else.
The others were not fools. If Jiang Bin asked them to go against Li Dong, would they agree?
Therefore, Jiang Bin could not do anything to Li Dong. If he really went against Li Dong, he would not be able to bear the consequences.
Of course, this was excluding the situation where his father came forward.
The reality was that his father would not appear, and it was impossible for him to do so.
Even if he was unhappy, he wouldn't make things difficult for Li Dong over such a small matter. In the end, he might end up in big trouble.
Not to mention Li Dong, even Du Anmin was not completely powerless.
Once you touch Li Dong and Shen Qian, Old Du only has one daughter. It would be strange if he didn't fight you to the death.
At that time, it was hard to say who would live and who would die.
Jiangbei was no ordinary place.
Li Dong was born in Jiangbei, and Du Anmin was in power in Jiangbei. Both of them were inextricably linked to Jiangbei.
Before making a move on Li Dong, he had to think twice.
Jiang Bin snorted coldly and said, "I know! What a good Li Dong! All these years, he was the most high-profile and arrogant person in the business world. Did he really think that he could do whatever he wanted just because he had some money? Just wait and see. If anything goes wrong, he will die for sure! "
At this time, Li Dong was indeed not someone to be trifled with. Therefore, very few people would choose to provoke Li Dong at this time.
But if something happened to Li Dong, it would be big trouble.
He had offended the Sun family, and now Jiang Bin wanted to eat him up. In addition to the families of Lu Mingfeng and Zhuang Fan, as well as the countless people that Li Dong had cheated, Li Dong had enemies everywhere.
When Li Dong was at his peak, no one wanted to offend him.
But now that he was at his lowest point, it was inevitable that they would hit him when he was down.
Jiang Bin's words actually meant that he had compromised and admitted defeat.
The woman and Lu Mingfeng both understood, but they didn't say anything. Speaking at this time was tantamount to adding fuel to the fire and provoking Jiang Bin to not go against Li Dong.
As for Li Dong going downhill, it seemed difficult at the moment.
When Li Dong went downhill, it was hard to say whether the people present would still have the power they had today.
There were evergreen trees in the business world, but not in the political world.
With the departure of the older generation, it was almost impossible to form a family-style political family in the future.
Now, because some of the older generation were still alive, people still gave face to some things.
But in a few years, who would give face to you?
Old Man Jia was going to pass away, Old Man Sun was also getting old, and Old Man Zhou wasn't young either. These people were actually not the first batch. In fact, they were all young juniors back then.
Almost all of the true doyens had left.
When the second batch of elders passed away, the situation in the political world in the future would be very different from now.
As for Jiang Bin, there were no outstanding figures in this generation of the Jiang family.
Once the old man passed away, Jiang Bin didn't have the capital to settle accounts with Li Dong.
It was fine to say harsh words.
At least before Li Dong made a big mistake, the people present couldn't do anything to him.
After a moment of silence, Jiang Bin turned his head to look out the window again.
Downstairs, Li Dong just happened to come out.
As if sensing Jiang Bin's gaze, Li Dong grinned with his teeth bared, his face beaming.
Seeing this, Jiang Bin snorted coldly again. Damn it, this bastard is so annoying!
Seeing that he was still angry, his wife hurriedly changed the topic. "Han Yu has learned to be smart now. I'm afraid this matter is going to be difficult. I don't think there's much hope of getting our money back. "
Lu Mingfeng sighed. "I'm just trying. I knew it was impossible. Han Yu isn't stupid. Why would she pay us back? As for Li Dong … forget it. Let's just treat it as a loss. "
Sighing, Lu Mingfeng took a sip of coffee and stood up. "Then I'll leave first. All kinds of bad people have been coming out lately. Let's put the money aside and solve the problem in front of us first."
Jiang Bin nodded and didn't say anything.
The woman said a few polite words and stood up to watch Lu Mingfeng leave.
After Lu Mingfeng left, the woman said, "Don't think about the money. Money can be earned again. It's been a mess lately. Don't let anyone get hold of you."
"I know."
Jiang Bin was a little depressed. "Life is getting harder and harder. You'll know when you see it. Shen Qian threatened me. Li Dong threatened me. Even Han Yu threatened me. If it was before, I would've settled the score with them! But I'll remember some things. Let's just wait and see! "
…
By the roadside.
Li Dong twisted his neck and said with a smile, "Qi Yunna was right. Going out for a walk can really relax the mind."
Tan Yong looked embarrassed. 'Is this relaxing after coming out for a walk?
It's not that you're in a bad mood. You're just bored. You want to find something to do and someone to vent your boredom on.
If you don't meet Jiang Bin today, you might meet someone else. Anyway, it's inevitable. '
After cursing in his heart, Tan Yong asked, "General Manager Li, do you still want to walk?"
"Again …"
Before Li Dong could finish his sentence, his phone rang.
He picked up the phone and saw that it was Bai Su's number. Li Dong answered the call. "What's up?"
"…"
Bai Su said a few words over the phone. Li Dong immediately smiled and said, "Alright, I'll be right back!"
With that, Li Dong said to Tan Yong, "Let's go. Let's go back to the hotel!"
…
Ten minutes later.
In the hotel suite.
Li Dong entered the room and took off his jacket. He hugged Big Nose warmly and said with a smile, "Bill, one day apart feels like three years. I miss you so much!"
Bill was a little unaccustomed to Li Dong's enthusiasm. This guy had just met him yesterday, and he even hugged him reluctantly before he left.
Now, he had not even pounced on him and Big Nose had pounced on him.
Of course, Bill also knew that Li Dong was not passionate about him but about money.
Faced with a negotiation opponent like Li Dong, who did not play by the rules, Bill could not be bothered to get close to him. After Li Dong finished hugging him, Bill said, "Li, 18 million shares is not my personal decision. This is the final decision of Morgan Stanley's board of directors. Also, we want to be one of the lead underwriters for Weibo's listing. "
Li Dong treated the first 18 million shares as a joke. It was just a bargaining and should not be bothered.
However, Bill was very serious when he said this.
When a company went public, whether domestically or overseas, it needed an underwriter or an underwriting group to go public.
And the lead underwriter was one of the leaders.
Based on Weibo's current scale, once it went public, a large underwriting group would definitely be formed. There might be more than 10 investment banks and securities institutions participating.
Generally, small companies only had one lead underwriter. Weibo definitely had more than one.
And becoming the lead underwriter, especially for a company with great potential like Weibo, was very meaningful.
First, fame.
That's right. Even international investment banks needed fame and success stories.
Once Weibo went public and created a miracle, these IPO underwriters would become famous.
Secondly, there were genuine benefits.
The profits of an underwriter were limited when it went public in China. According to the regulations of the CSRC, if the scale of underwriting exceeded 400 million yuan, the commission would not exceed 10 million yuan.
But overseas, there were no such restrictions.
Under normal circumstances, when a company went public, the highest underwriting fee would be as high as 7%. Of course, this was the highest case.
When a large company went public, the underwriting fee was between 0.75% to 1.5%.
If Weibo went public and raised more than 5 billion USD, the underwriting fee alone would be close to 50 million USD.
The underwriting fee was actually not the biggest part.
As the lead underwriters, if the IPO went well and the share price rose, they had the right to exercise their oversubscription rights. In short, after the allotted shares were sold out, these underwriters could continue to buy additional shares.
Therefore, every time a company with great potential went public, countless financial institutions would fight to be the lead underwriter.
In the past, no one could understand Li Dong's intentions.
But ever since Weibo went through the second round of financing, and Li Dong clearly stated that he would go through the third round of financing, the listing was just a few feet away.
As one of the major international investment banks, Damo certainly hoped to become one of the lead underwriters for Weibo.
So far away, there were many options.
Whether it was Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan, Citigroup, or Credit Suisse, these investment banks were not weaker than them. In fact, they might even be stronger.
It was not difficult to become a member of the underwriting group.
But it was definitely not easy to become the lead underwriter.
Making this request while Li Dong needed Damo's help was also in line with Damo's bloodsucking style.
As soon as Bill finished speaking, Li Dong paused for a moment and said, "With Damo's ability and experience, it is enough for him to become one of the lead underwriters for Weibo. But it is not time yet. If I agree to Damo now, I will lose a lot of bargaining chips in the future. Of course, I understand what Damo means. How about this, I promise you that you will definitely be a member of the underwriting group … "
“NO！”
Bill quickly shook his head and said, "Li, this is not enough. Morgan Stanley is strong and experienced.
We also had many successful experiences in Hua Xia.
In 2000, Unicom IPO raised 5.65 billion USD. This was our operation.
In the same year, Petrochemical IPO raised 3.46 billion USD.
In 2001, Hua Xia Aluminum IPO raised 486 million USD.
In 2002, Telecom IPO raised 1.52 billion USD.
In 2003, People Insurance IPO raised 800 million USD …
These series of successful cases are enough to prove our ability and operation model in Hua Xia is extremely successful.
To me, becoming the lead underwriter for Weibo is not a requirement. In fact, it is an opportunity for Weibo … "
Li Dong waited for him to finish and smiled. "Bill, I know what you mean. But JP Morgan and the rest are not worse than you. You are not our only choice. Weibo is your only choice. Of course, I can accept Damo as the lead underwriter. But how about 13 million shares of Weibo? "
"Li!"
Bill was shocked. He could not stop shouting God. He was almost hysterical.
Li Dong looked at Bill's "shock" and rubbed his neck in boredom. Damn, aren't foreigners good at acting?
Hollywood is so good. You guys should be good at acting.
Why did Li Dong want to laugh out loud when the guy in front of him was shocked?
Bill probably saw Li Dong's indifference and did not continue to chat with God. He said helplessly, "Li, you are a bloodsucker. A bloodsucker through and through. People in Hua Xia say we are bloodsuckers, but I think you are. 13 million shares is even less than before. That is impossible. You said you were pressed for time. In order to cooperate with you, we specially held a meeting overnight to gain your friendship. But now, we do not feel any friendship from you … "
"14 million shares for one of the lead underwriters. If this is not enough, Mr. Bill, you can go back now."
Li Dong said seriously, "I already have a budget. 30 million shares in exchange for 15% of your shares and JP Morgan's shares, without any additional conditions. Now, I am not afraid to be frank. This is my highest budget. If you have more shares, JP Morgan will have less, and they will not agree to it. Instead of that, I might as well take 8% of their shares and then consider you. Also, becoming one of the lead underwriters is also my concession. You are not the only investment bank. You know better than me how much profit you can make from underwriting a company worth hundreds of billions of dollars. "
Bill was speechless. He really wanted to curse now.
In Hua Xia, was there anyone better at bragging than Li Dong?
Right now, Weibo was valued at more than 3 billion dollars. Yesterday, Li Dong bragged that the listing was worth 50 billion dollars. Today, it was doubled again. 100 billion dollars!
A Weibo could reach a market value of 100 billion dollars. If Bill dared to say that he would crawl from Hua Xia to America and drown!
This guy's bragging made the elites in the investment bank unable to take it anymore.
In the future, if you say that Hua Xia businessmen are introverted and modest, and Bill can beat people up, then ask you, do you know Li Dong?
