"Interest—" Marshall took a deep breath and looked at Jonathan squarely, "Washington will pay, but not as you ask." ”

"At 24 percent per annum, that's never been the case. Jonathan didn't give an inch.

This price is already very favorable, completely lower than the standard price of its peers in the market.

Washington is still unhappy about this, 'Don't they know how to do it in moderation?'

Michelle rubbed her temples with a headache, but she was secretly scolding Charlie in her heart.

No wonder he was very cheerful at first, it turned out that he was leaving the trouble to Astor.

Just like Michelle represents Roosevelt, both of them are helplessly pushed to the table, but one represents the light and the other in the dark. ’

The negotiations lasted only two and a half hours, and the interest rate was finally lowered by two points.

The annualized rate is 22 percent, a figure that is neither high nor low.

"If it was Morgenthau, the interest would have been higher. After the contract was agreed, Jonathan was a little unwilling.

No matter what you say to the previous one, the other party only responds with one sentence of 'too high', how can the negotiation continue?

"So it's Michelle here. Li Zitao is quite satisfied, he is an easily satisfied person.

emmmmm... Except on the side of women.

"Mobil and Shell's problems, are you okay?" said this, Jonathan's mood suddenly improved again.

After Mobil joined Shell's board of directors, there were frequent conflicts between the two sides, but there was a lot of restraint between them.

But even so, the company is still panicking.

If it weren't for the restraint of the higher-ups, who kept a tight seal on the conflict on the board, prohibiting any information from leaking out.

Now, Shell's situation is likely to be even worse.

As a major oil giant, Shell's oil reserves and pipelines are regularly bombed.

The importance is second only to arsenals, arms factories, military important places, etc.

For this reason, Shell can be said to have suffered heavy losses, and if it were not for the assistance of the government, a large amount of overseas oil imports would have been unraveled.

"Everybody knows what to do. Li Zitao said calmly: "Besides, this matter will soon have a result." ”

"You're going to do it?" Jonathan's eyes lit up as he asked.

"It's better to care about your own problems!" Li Zitao smiled and said nothing.

As for the secret battle between Mobil and Shell, it was a 'benign' feud for the company in his mind.

Li Zitao shamelessly regarded Shell as his bag.

From the beginning of the resumption of the new cooperation between the two companies, he asked the think tank to quietly acquire a stake in Shell in the market.

Then, a mysterious shell company became the new shareholder of Shell.

The new shareholder representative has a very low sense of presence, and will not take a position if he can not express his position, and most of the time will abstain from voting.

However, no one can ignore his stake.

Both Shell and Mobil shareholders were trying to win his back, unaware that he had chosen to side from the start.

To put it simply, it's okay to 'eat, drink and have fun', but you can't talk about business.

It's either that I'm dizzy and want to vomit when I'm too drunk, or I still have something to do first, and I just don't do the right thing anyway.

It sounds simple, but to do it, you need to have a strong heart and a thick enough skin.

More importantly, let Li Zitao feel at ease.

In order to find such a person, the think tank is about to turn over the list of the public relations department.

"If you let the outside world know, you will definitely break the head. "Not to mention the others, even Jonathan is a little envious.

Just eat, drink, and get the benefits, and don't care about the rest.

What we need to do is to convey what happened to the board of directors to the think tank word for word.

"If it's you, they'll just go crazy. "A good tire is already at the end of the line, who wouldn't be envious?

The encroachment on Shell should be taken step by step, as is the case with a dignified and elegant lady at a meal.

This matter must not be rushed, let alone add fuel to the fire, and it is right to boil frogs in warm water.

"The construction here is really good, remember to leave me an apartment. Jonathan raised his hand while eating the orange and said, "By the way, there is Lawrence's." ”

"I've got it ready for you, do you want to go and see it now?" Li Zitao pointed out the window.

"Really?" Jonathan only made a temporary decision, but he didn't expect it to be prepared for him.

When they walked out of the apartment, the two did not choose to take the car, but walked along the still somewhat deserted street.

"It's been a really nice day. "The climate is a little humid, and the slight warmth shines on my body, like soaking in the comfortable spring water.

"See that?" Li Zitao walked around the corner, pointing to a building on the side of the road that had not been built long ago, and said, "It's yours." ”

"Man," Jonathan opened his mouth in surprise, "Are you sure you're not kidding, I'm not going to pay." ”

"No kidding. Li Zitao said seriously: "I will deduct the money myself." ”

"You can't do this, hey, don't, can't?"

"Hey, you talk, I don't have that much money......"

He shouted no, but his steps involuntarily walked towards the front of the building, his expression full of excitement and expectation.

However, as soon as he reached the door, Jonathan found that the door was locked.

Although the construction of the whole building has been completed, it is still in the rough stage, and the gate is also a temporary iron gate, which is hung with a large lock.

"The key... I paid for it. "Jonathan was like he'd forgotten what he had said.

"Where's the key?" Li Zitao looked at Ava beside him.

She has always been in charge of this place, and Li Zitao only thinks that it is to protect the safety of the building and prevent the homeless from sneaking in to live.

This kind of thing is not uncommon, after all, few people will visit the vacant buildings, except for some mansions that are specially hired to look at the property.

Ava also behaved normally, believing that the lock had been arranged by someone from the company.

But after she finished asking the assistant beside her, her face suddenly became ugly, and she looked at Li Zitao hesitantly and walked over.

Covering her mouth with her hand, Ava whispered, "Boss, we didn't lock it." ”

"En?" Li Zitao frowned, "What does this mean, someone has taken possession of this place without permission, and it has not been discovered until now?"

"Turn it on. Li Zitao said to Danny beside him.

Danny immediately asked people to look for tools, and soon borrowed them from the renovated house next to them, and clamped open the large lock in front of them.

"What's going on, go down and see. "At this moment, in the apartment full of blanks, someone heard the movement below.

This group of laundry detergent merchants from Mexico has been 'living' here for almost 2 years.

For a small fee, they were able to use the place as their temporary home.

Within two months, they had set up a makeshift laundry detergent factory here.

In 4 months, it opened up the sales channel in North America, and now it is getting bigger and bigger, and it is a well-known laundry detergent seller organization in New York.

The transportation is convenient, the price is cheap, and the quality of the goods is very good, so the local dealers naturally like it.

From the beginning of the greedy for convenient and cheap hawkers, to the end of the fame spread and the local mafia alliance.

The Hamm Gang has long since made a name for itself.

It's just that the people who lent them this place recently wanted to get the Ham Gang out.

But how could Hamm, who was used to being here and making it his home base, agree, 'Whoever owns this, tell him I want it... I'll pay. ’

However, he didn't know that it wasn't a matter of money at all.
