It is already the consensus of everyone that ZAMA Group does not sell shares.
The reason for not selling is very simple, on the one hand, because Li Mu is not short of money, and on the other hand, because Li Mu wants to maintain absolute control over the Junma Group and does not want the board of directors to take away the power that originally belonged to Li Mu.
When the Junma Group is only a Junma Arms Company, there is nothing wrong with such an approach, but when a small weapons company develops into a comprehensive consortium, it is a bit petty and does not conform to the laws of the economy.
Therefore, Li Mu spun off the Junma Group a while ago, and transferred part of the shares to San Diego Investment Company and Will, Shengsheng turned the originally wholly-owned Junma Group into a third-party holding company, and successfully completed the transformation.
Of course, in fact, everyone knows that whether it is the San Diego Investment Company or the Barron family, it seems that the Junma Group has also made up a board of directors, but in fact, it is just a right-handed reversal, which sounds a little better in name, but in essence, it is still under the control of Li Mu, and it has not changed the fact that the Junma Group is not listed.
But the ability of the ZAMA Group to attract money is obvious to all, so the Wall Street tycoons are waiting for an opportunity, waiting for an opportunity to buy ZAMA Group shares.
Now the opportunity has finally arrived The beach club has a fixed meeting every Saturday night, which was originally intended to allow the members of the beach club to connect with each other and communicate with each other, but after Li Mu announced that he would form a new company to develop the European market, the news immediately caused an uproar in the beach club.
Everyone knows that this is the undisputed potential stock, so whether they have the strength to get involved or not, everyone wants to get involved.
Li Mu gave everyone a week to prepare, and by next Saturday night, Li Mu would publicly auction 49 percent of the new company's shares.
The remaining fifty-one percent, half of which belongs to the San Diego Investment Company, generally belongs to the Barron family, and Li Mu himself does not account for anything in name.
Of course, the new company has to obtain the right to use the patent from the ZAMA Group, so if the ZAMA Group wants to pay the royalties, this part of the profit belongs to the ZAMA Group.
From the next day, there was an endless stream of guests who came to visit Li Mu, not to mention acquaintances such as J Morgan and Rockefeller, as well as some tycoons who had been friends for a long time but had never met, such as Mitch Gilbert, the head of the Boston consortium, Dick Anderson, president of the Union Pacific Railroad, and so on.
By the way, this Dick Anderson is the one who wants to buy a stake in Springfield.
Li Mu treats everyone equally, and introduces the auction process to them in detail, 5% for each auction and 9% for the last finale, so that a total of nine auctions can be held, so that more people can participate.
What is certain is that these shares will definitely fetch a good price when the time comes, and for those who don't have enough money, they can find allies, jointly win a certain auction, and then distribute them.
On Tuesday night, Arthur invited Li Mu to dinner.
This was the first time Li Mu met Arthur since returning to New York from Hawaii.
After becoming the mayor, Arthur was too busy, and Arthur used to scold Tweed for not doing his job all day, but now Arthur can finally understand why Tweed is not doing his job, if he throws himself into work, he can exhaust people to death.
Just being a mayor is so tiring, Arthur can't imagine what kind of life Grant has every day.
"You did it yourself, you can appoint a few deputy mayors and then distribute the power among them, all you have to do is take control of the whole situation, and then it's much easier."
Li Mu gave Arthur a move.
"Then what's the point of me as a mayor, the reason why I want to be mayor is because I want to really do something, not a corpse."
Arthur disagreed with Li Mu's opinion, and it should be said that Arthur still had ideals at this time.
"Well, well, you're right, then you don't complain because that's the way you choose to live."
Li Mu raised his glass and signaled to Arthur, everyone has their own way of living, Zifei fish knows the joy of fish.
"I heard you're going to form a new company" Arthur carefully dealt with the steak in front of him, seemingly nonchalant.
"I didn't set it up, but San Diego Investments and the Barron family, and it's called Rose, and it's in charge of Europe."
Li Mu first corrected Arthur's gorgeous mistakes.
The rose is the most common flower you have ever seen, and it will be the state flower of New York in the future, as well as the national flowers of the United States and the United Kingdom.
"It's really hypocritical" Arthur dismissed, he knew these little tricks played by Li Mu.
"Hehe, even if it's a put, then why are you asking this" Li Mu asked knowingly.
Others don't know Arthur's net worth, Li Mu knows, unlike Li Mu, a rich man on the surface, Arthur should be regarded as an invisible rich, after all, Li Mu and Arthur divided the property that Tweed wanted to ship to Europe to hide, but after Tweed was arrested, the court liquidated Tweed's property, leaving only about 20 million US dollars.
As far as Li Mu knows, Arthur should have at least $30 million in property, which is similar to what Li Mu harvested, and the money that Li Mu got was used by Li Mu to establish the Bank of America, and Arthur's money is still in sight, so it should still be in Arthur's hands.
"Do me a favor, wash my money for me, and then convert it into shares for me at its actual value."
Arthur's request was similar to what Li Mu expected.
The income of the Junma Group is very high, and of course there are a lot of expenses, so Li Mu wants to launder money very simply, just make a few transactions between different companies that do not exist, but Arthur does not have this channel, so Li Mu can help Arthur launder money, but Arthur must pay a certain fee.
"I understand the rules, thirty percent belongs to you, and I only need shares."
Arthur's price was good.
Thirty percent belongs to Li Mu, that is to say, if Arthur gives Li Mu 30 million US dollars, then Li Mu only needs to return 21 million to Arthur, of course, these 21 million must be clean and Arthur's legitimate income.
"No problem, I can help you, and I only need 20%, but if you want shares, then you have to send someone to the auction."
Li Mu was willing to help, but at the same time dug another pit for Arthur.
Auction, it must be the one with the highest price, Li Mu doesn't want to do a dark box deal with Arthur, after all, forty-nine percent of the promise has been announced, if Li Mu wants to give Arthur shares privately, then he has to take out another part of the reserved shares, and if that happens, it will affect Li Mu's controlling stake.
More than 20 million cash is a large amount, if this money is invested in the auction, then it will definitely push the stock price to an incredible level, and even if other people want to get shares, they will have to pay a greater price, so this business is very cost-effective, Li Mu would rather make less money himself, but also let Arthur go to the auction, anyway, in the end, it will flow into his pocket.
"Hehe, no problem, I'll ask Ronald to find someone to represent me when the time comes."
Arthur understood Li Mu's thoughts, and didn't think it was excessive.

Ronald is Arthur's personal assistant, Arthur, as the mayor of New York, is definitely not suitable to appear in the auction house, and because of the relationship between Ronald and Arthur, if Ronald appears in the auction house, then everyone else will know who Ronald represents, so it is most appropriate for Ronald to find someone, which will not attract attention and achieve the purpose of raising the price.
It is normal to find an agent to participate in the auction, and generally in the auction, if some people are generous, but they have never been famous before, they are basically a certain person or an agent of a certain family.
After confirming that Arthur would send someone to participate in the auction, Li Mu's heart finally stabilized.
Don't look at Li Mu and J Morgan and Rockefeller, they have a good relationship, but there is no father and son in the mall, Li Mu wants to prevent J Morgan and Rockefeller from uniting to lower each other's prices, so Li Mu will not achieve his goal.
Now with Arthur, for this auction, it is like Britain to Europe, a standard-stirring stick, regardless of whether J Morgan and Rockefeller will communicate privately, with Arthur to make a move, it will definitely break their tacit understanding, and there is no need for Arthur to buy much, even if Arthur only auctions two, it will trigger their sense of crisis, and then all the agreements will become waste paper.
Back on Governor's Island, Li Mu ordered people to find Situ Lei, and also instructed Situ Lei to participate in the auction.
If it is not my race, its heart must be different, Li Mu does not have unconditional trust in Arthur, as long as it is a good word, God knows what kind of choice these Americans will make, so only the Chinese are the group that Li Mu really trusts.
In fact, Situ Lei was not eligible to participate in the auction, the deposit for this auction was 500,000 US dollars, although Situ Lei had a noble status in Hongmen, Situ Lei could not take out this money.
But this is not a problem, Li Mu now has the Bank of America, and the transfer of funds is incomparable, all Li Mu has to do is to call Lawrence, and Situ Lei's account will immediately have an extra 500,000 US dollars.
This was not a private grant, but the money that Situ Lei borrowed from the Bank of America, and the collateral was the warehouse that Situ Lei gave to Li Mu.
Situ Lei was right, the warehouse was indeed huge, covering an area of more than 5,000 square meters, and as far as Manhattan was concerned, it really depended on luck to find such a large vacant land.
This is the benefit of the gangsters, although the Junma Group is a big business, but considering the reputation of the enterprise, there are many things that the Junma Group is inconvenient to come forward, and the gangsters are unscrupulous, they have a bad life, once there is no bottom line, it is really hooligans who can not stop martial arts.
With the double insurance of Arthur and Situ Lei, Li Mu can be regarded as reassured, no matter what accidents occur at that time, Li Mu does not have to worry
