When you know that a person has a lot of money, the reaction of ordinary people is usually "wow", you will be a little shocked, and then you may feel a little sad and a little lost. What's the difference between people? Why isn't my wallet so thick?

But in the end, most of them would still comment like this, "He is undoubtedly very successful,"

But Raulder was different. When he finished talking with Feng Yiping on the night of the 8th, he knew that Feng Yiping had a lot of cash in his hand. His first idea was that since that was the case, he must find a way to turn part of it into his own - this is Wall Street people.

He then immediately found an opportunity. The wonderful thing was that that opportunity was actually created by himself.

But the US dollar was on the top, and he asked Feng Yiping to take Hilton from Blackstone. In fact, he used the loan that Blackstone owed them to offset the returns they should pay Feng Yiping and their funds, and he did not plan this step.

Now I think about my proposal, it feels really incredible. I have created an opportunity for myself to kill two birds with one stone - everyone will have this time to make me feel like I am a genius.

Raulder quickly selected two most suitable candidates from the five banks except his own that originally provided loans to Blackstone.

The reason why we need to screen is that in addition to choosing those with weak bargaining power, the most important thing is that he wants to ensure that his opponent, Morgan Stanley, will not know his plans.

Although Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley are now considered a joint actor in matters related to Feng Yiping, they are still as always wary of each other in terms of their own vital interests.

The two banks selected in the end have always had a good relationship with Goldman Sachs. Among the six banks, they are average in strength, and the amount of loans they provide to Blackstone is also ranked last.

The most important thing is that their current situation is not optimistic.

Therefore, Raulder believed that the cash he gave at this time was very attractive to them, that is, they were very likely to transfer this debt that seemed not optimistic and most likely would have to discounted to themselves for the sake of this cash.

Sure enough, he called the two companies three times and soon negotiated. Goldman Sachs used $600 million to obtain a total of $11.5 billion in loans held by the two companies.

That is, it looks less than 55% off.

Raulder was confident that he eventually sold these loans to Feng Yiping at a price of more than 30% off.

With these two companies at the bottom, Raulder felt that he could talk to Deutsche Bank now.

Deutsche Bank was the main force of the banking group that borrowed to Blackstone last year. If Deutsche Bank's debt is taken, it will not only make a profit, but most importantly, in the next process, this will help me to maintain a rare initiative in the face of Feng Yiping.

When he picked up the phone, Raulder was in a good mood, not only because he felt that he was going to make a good deal, but also because of some performance from Deutsche Bank last year to this year.

If we say that this largest bank in Germany is really not very motivated to help Germany's industrial and commercial development, their main energy and resources are all spent on international expansion.

Of course, judging from the results, their results are really good.

Especially in the second quarter of last year, when major banks around the world were looking at their various unsatisfactory financial reports, Deutsche Bank's performance in the second quarter was definitely a bright spot. Their total profit reached a record high, with a profit of more than 1 billion euros, a year-on-year increase of nearly 0!

In 2007, there were many common points in the global banking industry, one of which was: layoffs.

But at this point, Deutsche Bank is also a different fireworks. In 2007, their total number of employees actually increased by nearly 0.

But now, hehe, Deutsche Bank, who thought it was out of the way, realized that it was not spared.

According to data obtained by Raulder, the securities assets that Deutsche Bank needs to revalue, that is, assets related to subprime securities, are as high as 9 billion euros. According to the performance of the past two months, Deutsche Bank will definitely lose money in the first quarter of this year.
