The next morning, Xiao Yunhai arrived at the company's headquarters.
After working in the office for a while, Christy knocked on the door and walked in.
"Boss, I contacted Citibank yesterday, and they have agreed to our application. We need you to sign the contract in person this morning."
Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "No problem. Bring the materials and we'll go now. Oh right, Madam Christy, I remember that you bought some shares of the Lakers last year, right? Do you still have them? "
Christy was stunned and said, "The Lakers have been doing very well in the past two years, and their market value has been rising. This year, they are the most likely contender for the NBA championship. Therefore, not only did we not sell our shares, but we also bought some other shares. A total of 18%, and we are ranked third in the board of directors. Mr. Xiao, why are you suddenly asking about this? "
Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "Kree invited me to watch the Lakers and Spurs game tonight, so I'm just asking casually."
Christy said, "Mr. Xiao, you are one of the owners of the Lakers. You only need to make a phone call, and they will arrange a VIP room for you. You don't even need a ticket."
Xiao Yunhai waved his hand and said, "Forget it. Whether it's basketball or football, it's better to watch it live. In the VIP room, there's no such atmosphere. Alright, let's go. "
Xiao Yunhai and Christy brought a thick stack of documents to Citibank in Los Angeles.
They were led by a staff member to an office. The staff member knocked on the door.
"Please come in."
A voice that Xiao Yunhai was familiar with came from inside. It was Miss Vanessa Bessie, whom Xiao Yunhai had met twice.
She was wearing a business suit. Her clothes were pushed up by her perky breasts, revealing her perfect figure. She wore a pair of gold-rimmed glasses on her beautiful face. As she sat there, she gave off an elegant and intellectual feeling. But from time to time, a cold glint flashed in her eyes, adding a shrewd and capable temperament to her body.
Seeing Xiao Yunhai and Christy, Vanessa Bessie stood up and smiled. "Mr. Xiao, Madam Christy, long time no see."
Xiao Yunhai rubbed his nose and smiled bitterly, "Miss Bessie, I didn't expect you to personally negotiate with us. I'm flattered. Christy, why didn't you tell me earlier? "
Vanessa smiled, and said, "Madam Christy obviously doesn't know that I just decided this morning. Mr. Xiao, I'm not that ugly. Do you really not want to see me that much? "
Xiao Yunhai shrugged and said, "If Miss Bessie is considered ugly, then there are probably no beautiful women in this world. It's not that I don't want to see you, but I'm a little embarrassed to see you. After all, I was the one who ruined your plan to take over Steyr Networks. "
Vanessa smiled and said, "Mr. Xiao, it's normal to win or lose in business. You're not willing to sell me your shares. On the other hand, this shows that I have some power in your heart. To be able to make the richest man in the world wary of me, I'm still very happy. "
Xiao Yunhai waved his hand and said, "In front of the Bessie family, I don't think I should mention the title of the richest man in the world. I feel a little uncomfortable."
Vanessa said, "Mr. Xiao, you're too humble. Look at me, I was too focused on talking. Please take a seat. "
After the three of them sat down, Vanessa smiled and said, "Mr. Xiao, speaking of which, I still have to thank you properly."
Xiao Yunhai was stunned and instantly understood what she meant. He said, "Are you talking about the current Yunqing Oil and Gas Company?"
Vanessa showed a hint of admiration and said, "That's right. Mr. Xiao, if it weren't for your meticulousness in taking over that huge oil field in Texas, I'm afraid that cousin of mine would have very likely become the family's strongest competitor. When that happens, I won't have any advantage even if I want to compete with him. "
Xiao Yunhai said, "It's just an oil field. Is it so important to the Bessie family?"
Vanessa smiled and said, "Oil and banking are our two main pillars. The others are just subsidiary businesses. The oil field in Texas is too big, and the quality of the oil is very good. That cousin of mine is loved by the elders in the family. Otherwise, they wouldn't have let him manage TMC Energy Company. If he successfully took over the oil field, you can imagine what the consequences would be. When that happens, not to mention me, even the current first successor can't compare to him. "
Xiao Yunhai said, "It looks like you really have to thank me properly. Why don't you lend me more money? I want to enter the oil industry now, and I need a lot of money. "
Vanessa said, "It looks like TMC Energy Company is going to have a strong competitor. However, one trillion USD is already the limit of our bank. This is also because Mr. Xiao's business is very healthy. If it were someone else, it would be impossible. "
Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "Then I really have to thank you properly."
Vanessa said, "You're welcome. Actually, it's very easy for you to raise money. Just sell me that 9.2% shares of Steyr Networks. You know that Steyr's market value has skyrocketed to 2.8 trillion USD because of Anderson and me. I can buy your 9.2% for 300 billion. What do you think? "
Xiao Yunhai narrowed his eyes and said, "I didn't expect Miss Bessie to still have fantasies about Steyr Networks. I don't understand. Even if I sell it to you, what's the use? Can you really take over Steyr? Anderson seems to be very interested in it too? "
Vanessa smiled and said, "Mr. Xiao, I'm someone who finishes what I start. I don't like to accept failure. How about this? If you agree, I can make the decision to loan you an additional 500 billion USD in addition to the 300 billion USD. What do you think? "
Xiao Yunhai said, "It looks like Miss Bessie is sure to win. Don't tell me that Anderson will sell his shares to you? "
Vanessa smiled and said, "I'll talk to him. Actually, Mr. Xiao, I don't understand. Even if the Bessie family owns Steyr Networks, how can we be a threat to you? Our business overlaps mainly in the entertainment sector. With Marvel Comics' power, do you need to worry about us? "
Xiao Yunhai was about to speak when Christy suddenly interrupted, "Mr. Xiao, I think Miss Bessie's suggestion is very good. Using Steyr Networks shares in exchange for 300 billion USD and a 1.5 trillion USD loan. There's nothing more worthwhile than this. I know you want to avoid direct conflict with the Bessie family, but in fact, Yunqing Oil and Gas Company has already started to compete with TMC Energy Company. It's a global competition, so there's no other way. "
Vanessa clapped her hands and said, "Miss Christy is right. My cousin has a grudge against Mr. Xiao. If it weren't for your sensitive identity, he would have sent assassins to kill you. "
Xiao Yunhai said disdainfully, "It's impossible for him to kill me, but it's very easy for me to assassinate him. That's why he doesn't have the guts. Since Miss Bessie wants Steyr Networks shares so much, I'll sell them to you. "
Vanessa was stunned. Then, she asked in surprise, "Really? Why did you suddenly change your mind? "
Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "I trust Miss Christy. Since she said it's a good deal, I'll do it. "
Christie, who was at the side, was touched when she heard this. She had the impulse to die for her bosom friend.
Vanessa praised, "No wonder the most famous economic advisor on Wall Street, Miss Christy, is so loyal to you. If it were me, I'd help you wholeheartedly too. "
Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "I can take it as a compliment. Miss Bessie, let's not waste time. Let's sign the contract as soon as possible. "
Vanessa said, "Okay, I'll get someone to do it now."
