飞黄腾达 The Apprentice III [英語]

\"飞黄腾达\"极其张扬:揭秘富豪特朗普
交易老手
  特朗普可是大名鼎鼎的沃顿商学院毕业生,他子承父业,将纽约地产商事业发扬光大,在20世纪80年代声名鹊起,不可一世。他收购纽约的大厦、进军赌城大西洋城、成立特朗普航空公司,购买世界最豪华的游艇,在公众眼里,是个沽名钓誉而生性贪婪的资本家。
在特朗普的一大堆交易中,与默文抢购里索茨国际娱乐场公司是最有名的事件,被麦克尔。克雷格列为美国历史上50起顶级并购交易之一(见《大手笔》,华夏出版社)。特朗普首先看中了该娱乐场公司下面的泰姬饭店,由于它的前老板雄心太大,工程久拖不竣,泰姬饭店成为大西洋城最著名的烂尾工程。里索茨娱乐场是家上市公司,分为A和B股,B股只占公司的10%不到,却拥有投票否决优先权。特朗普先是收购了90%的B股,后来又想将整个公司私有化,触发了与默文。格里芬的收购战。默文几年前将其制片公司以2.5亿美元的价格售予可口可乐公司后,踌躇满志。当特朗普以每股22美元收购A股时,默文却出价36美元。特朗普很快发现,默文真正喜欢的是公司属下的那些老饭店,于是,双方达成了一笔交易。默文A和B股全收,然后让特朗普支付2.73亿美元,买下泰姬饭店。而默文。格里芬为了得到里索茨娱乐场,承担了所有债务,共投入了7亿美元,所以在一年半后的1989年11月就宣布破产了。所以,克雷格的评价是:\"特朗普把格里芬的钱掏得精光\".

  但特朗普也没有笑了多久,一场席卷美国乃至全世界的1990-1993年房地产市场萧条,让他濒临破产的边缘。特朗普回忆起当时他和第二任妻子玛拉在纽约第五大道上散步,遇见一位盲人乞丐。特朗普说那人虽是乞丐,却比他富有9亿美元。玛拉大惑,特朗普解释道:\"让我们假设他一文不名(只从钱财的角度看),我呢,价值负9亿\".

  在危机面前,很能反映一个人的原则性与灵活性的平衡能力。远比特朗普实力强大的莱曼兄弟集团(奥林匹亚一约克开发公司)在这场危机中就遭到毁灭性打击,该集团当时是曼哈顿最大的地产业主。它在1977年纽约市财政危机高潮时,以3.2亿美元价格买了曼哈顿的八幢办公楼。80年代中期,他们又用15亿美元整修这八幢建筑,建成世界金融中心。

  莱曼家族在80年代末开发伦敦泰晤士河边71英亩土地,改名为加纳利码头,投入家族的20到36亿美元,运用财务杠杆建造超过100亿美元的欧洲金融中心。但当工程一期在1991年9月完成后,伦敦房产进入二战房地产开发以来的最低潮,资金严重被套。加上在此阶段,莱曼家族在世界各地的业务屡屡失手,到1991年底,背负200亿美元债务,面临崩溃。

  如果莱曼家族此时能低头向债权人妥协,廉价出售一部分资产,或以交换产权为条件和债权人协商将债务偿还期延长,凭借家族的信誉,完全可以转危为安。但莱曼却认为债权人不会让它破产,显得仍很强硬。到了1992年5月,几乎所有的债权人联合起来逼使其破产。70亿美元的总资产很快只剩下不到一成,同时也彻底失去了加纳利码头的全部权益。

  张扬的特朗普的名声要比莱曼家族糟糕得多,此时,他倒放下架子,向债权人\"低声下气\".他召集大部分债权银行代表开了一次会,告诉大家自己处于深重的财务困境中,需要6500万美元救急。如果银行与特朗普达成如下交易:第一,银行为他筹资6500万美元,让他脱离目前的险境;第二,五年内哪家银行都不能单独向他索款;第三,所有贷款的利息和本金都延期到五年后的截止期。那么,特朗普将积极配合银行,卖掉几处房产、游艇、航空公司及其他资产,并将交出类似泰姬饭店的50%产权来清算垃圾债券债务。

  由于特朗普比别人服软得快,态度和行动又诚恳,银行就放过他一马,让他有了东山再起的根本条件。

  我们不得不承认特朗普的头脑清醒,他明确指出,莱曼由于自负失去了重整旗鼓的机会。那天,特朗普在报纸上看到莱曼集团的负责人仍声称集团有50亿美元的净值时,就知道他们的末日到了。首先,这不可能是实话;其次,如果你有50亿美元,银行为何还要可怜你,给你的债务打折扣?

  世事无常,做个输得起的人,将自负抛开,去和银行讲自己的困难到底有多大,也许会有转机。对比起来,这几年证券市场上出现的多起破产案例,当局者都缺乏特朗普快刀斩乱麻、面对现实的勇气,失败是在情理之中的。

  特朗普讲的几个小故事

  与一般人一样,我也不喜欢特朗普洋洋自得的吹嘘,谁知道他的话哪是真哪是假?2004年8月初,特朗普的赌场上市公司又宣布处于破产状态,这次可能不会伤及他的根本,但至少说明没他说得那么好。

  而我比较喜欢他在逆境中遇到的几个故事。这时,他的直来直去让人受益匪浅,下面是几个特朗普讲的故事:

  第一个故事:1923年,世界上最伟大的八位金融家相聚芝加哥。这群人中包括最大的汽油公司的总裁、最大的小麦投机商、总统顾问团的一名成员、华尔街上最大的空头、世界上最大的垄断组织的首脑以及国际清算银行的总裁。

  他们理所当然跻身于世界上最成功人士之列,至少他们已经挖掘到创造财富的秘密,但是如今,这些人都到哪里去了?

  最大的私人钢铁公司的总裁查尔斯。施瓦布去世时已沦为乞丐,在他生命的最后几年里一直靠借钱维持生计。

  最大的汽油公司的总裁霍华德。霍布森精神失常。

  最了不起的小麦投机商阿瑟。科尔顿客死他乡时已完全破产。

  纽约证券交易所的总裁理查德。惠特尼在纽约辛辛监狱中服刑。

  总统顾问团成员阿尔弗雷德。福尔服刑过程中遇大赦,在家中去世。

  华尔街上最大的空头杰西。利弗莫尔自杀身亡。

  世界上最大的垄断组织的首脑、火柴大王艾弗。克鲁格自杀身亡。

  国际清算银行的总裁自杀身亡。

  这是很有趣的一群人,对吗?非常典型。这则悲哀故事的寓意在于:成功地守业比创业要难得多。
