Rockefeller Center, One Plaza, 8th floor.

It's still the same office in the morning.

At 12:15, Guo Yongkun deliberately arrived a quarter of an hour late, took Leah and others, and walked into the conference room unhurriedly under the guidance of the staff.

Bane obviously sighed, and said in his heart, you can count it on, these two uncles of the Rockefeller family are not easy to serve, and they have asked several times, why haven't they seen anyone.

As soon as Guo Yongkun walked in, his eyes fell on the two men next to him.

They are dressed in suits and leather shoes, although they look no different from ordinary wealthy businessmen, but they have a unique temperament, a kind of pride and pride that comes from the blood.

There's nothing wrong with that.

Who made their ancestor John Rockefeller the first billionaire on earth?

There is a saying in China that "you can't be rich for three generations", and this family is ...... to this day The wealth of the rich country should have been passed down for five or six generations.

Honestly, awesome.

In the United States, the surname Rockefeller is a symbol of wealth and power.

They run oil, banks, foundations, Rockefeller Center, University of Chicago, Rockefeller University, Museum of Modern Art, ...... and the World Trade Tower, which collapsed in 911, are all theirs.

Although it is said that they encountered some financial crises during this period, Guo Yongkun feels that this crisis is far less turbulent than the rumors from the outside world.

If you want to shake the foundation of such a family and not something that shocks the earth, I'm afraid it's unlikely.

Something may just be a business operation.

"Mr. Guo, let me introduce you to ......"

"You can call me Simon. ”

Before Bane could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by a middle-aged man wearing gold-rimmed glasses beside him, who introduced himself first, and then gestured to the side, "This is Eugens." ”

Is it deliberately not commensurate with the last name?

Guo Yongkun nodded, this low-key is really worth learning from him, no wonder people can have wealth for so long, this kind of low-key family culture has been deeply rooted in their bone marrow.

After introducing himself as well, the two sat opposite each other at a rectangular white oak table.

"Mr. Guo just came to the United States?"

The two Rockefeller gentlemen, that Eukins never spoke, seemed to just come over to join in the fun, Simon was the leader.

"That's right. ”

There is no need to hide some things at all, and with the energy of the Rockefeller family, it is simply easy to investigate his details in the United States.

"Seriously, I didn't expect that there would be such a rich person as Mr. Guo in China at this stage. ”

Guo Yongkun smiled and said, "It's just that we are relatively low-key. ”

"Well, I like the word, and it seems to have a different flavor when pronounced in Chinese. ”

Simon pushed his glasses and said, "However, if you want to buy the first building of the square, what's the matter, this behavior is not low-key." ”

I'll go...... Do you need to investigate the motives for doing business with you?

Guo Yongkun was speechless.

And he didn't like this kind of questioning from the other party, which made him feel that he was losing his initiative little by little.

"It's an investment, I like the atmosphere of Rockefeller Center, I think it's a good building, I wanted to rent a few floors, and then I thought it would be better to buy it. ”

"I already know about it. Simon nodded: "It is said that Mr. Guo is preparing to establish a new beverage company in the United States. ”

"That's right. ”

"But isn't this building too big for a new beverage company?"

Mind your birds!

Don't you like big ones?

If you can't use it, can you rent it?

Guo Yongkun is already a little unhappy, this business can be done the best, and if it can't be done, that is, to make a few less money, he actually doesn't care.

"Okay, Mr. Simon, we don't need to talk about these haves and haves, the building is yours, if you plan to sell, then continue to talk, if you don't have this idea, don't waste everyone's time. ”

That's straightforward enough, right?

Guo Yongkun originally thought that with the pride of the Rockefeller family, the other party was only afraid that the two would send off the guests directly.

However, the reality was the opposite of what he imagined, and the two looked at each other, a smile appeared on their faces, and they nodded their heads, as if confirming something.

What the heck?

Guo Yongkun didn't understand it at all.

"Okay, let's talk about this building. ”

Guo Yongkun shrugged his shoulders and looked like he was waiting for the following.

"Although this building is older, this is not its disadvantage, but its advantage, and its unique cultural and historical heritage is incomparable to those high-rise buildings today. And even now, the cost of building a building like this alone would be more than $200 million......"

is a sincere person, and he didn't hit the tiger's eye.

Other Guo Yongkun doesn't know, didn't Comrade Jianguo just build a group headquarters in Manhattan two years ago, and now it is also a landmark building, and the cost is more than 200 million.

I believe Mr. Guo should be very clear about what location Rockefeller Center is, what is the location of One Plaza Building, and the symbolic meaning it represents.

"So we're going to offer more than $400 million for this building. Can Mr. Guo accept this?"

"Unacceptable. Guo Yongkun didn't think about it, so he shook his head.

Of course, even if the other party says $100 million, he will do it.

Agree directly, isn't it a fool?

It's not about buying groceries on the street, it's about hundreds of millions of dollars.

Simon frowned and asked, "What is Mr. Guo's psychological value?"

He felt that his offer was already very sincere, because the family did intend to dispose of the Rockefeller Center property, and as for the reason, it was simple, American real estate would plummet.

This is the general trend and cannot be avoided, so what to do?

As a simple example, something that is worth $10 now will become $1 for no reason after a while. So if you still hold it in your hands, won't you have to bear this loss yourself?

It's better to dispose of it and pass on the risks and losses to others.

If it does fall to a piece, they can buy it back. It's not just about trying to buy, once they get to a reasonable price, the other party shouldn't refuse.

Yes, it shouldn't.

And in this way, not only can the real estate crisis be avoided, but also a lot of money, why not?

"Mr. Simon also said just now that the construction cost of this building is only more than 200 million. As for the historical, cultural, and symbolic meanings you mentioned, I admit that it can indeed bring a lot of aura to the building, and even directly affect its own value.

"However, in my opinion, these incidental values are not as much as 100 million, or even 200 million dollars. Therefore, my psychological price will not exceed 300 million US dollars, specifically, if you have the sincerity to sell, I will arrange for professionals to do the accounting. ”

Simon crossed his fingers and propped his chin on, as if lost in thought.

directly cut off 100 million, which is a bit beyond his bottom line.

Plaza No. 1 sells for 400 million, is it expensive?

According to the current market situation, it is not expensive, and it is a real sincere price.

Know that it's the centerpiece of the entire Rockefeller Center.

If Rockefeller Center is a landmark building in the United States, then One Plaza is a landmark of Rockefeller Center.

However, it is difficult to say this price if it is placed in a few months.

They already know exactly that there will be a cold winter for American real estate, and now there are actually some clues, but most people are not aware of it.

So he was faced with a choice: whether to wait a little longer and see if there were other more generous customers, or lower his standards and make tens of millions to 100 million dollars less to directly contribute to the deal.

The former, with uncertain letters, carries great risks.

The latter is equivalent to giving up a piece of fat.

He glanced at Eukins beside him, but the other party still didn't speak, only gave him a look, a look that outsiders didn't understand.

"This drop is too big, Mr. Guo might as well ask a professional appraiser to conduct a detailed accounting, and then we will discuss it in detail. Believe in our sincerity, even if they calculate that this building is worth far more than $300 million. ”

Guo Yongkun was in a good mood, which was undoubtedly tantamount to a compromise in disguise, and nodded: "Yes." ”

Therefore, the two sides discussed and held consultations three days later.

......

"In three days, then we have to hurry up and find a professional real estate appraisal company. ”

After leaving the building, several people sat in the extended Lincoln, Leah reminded.

However, Guo Yongkun seemed unhurried.

Invite people, naturally, you have to invite. However, he actually believed Simon's words, even if he asked a real estate appraisal company to appraise it, the value of One Plaza would be more than 300 million US dollars.

Because he knows, in the last life, 1989...... Yes, that is, this year, Mitsubishi Group bought Rockefeller Center for $1.37 billion.

And the big one is the 69-storey Plaza No. 1 building.

Don't look at the Mitsubishi Group to buy it in its entirety, but most of the buildings in Rockefeller Center were built in the middle of this century, and the floors are actually not high.

They are all houses with a dozen floors, twenty or thirty floors.

The second tallest building is 45 floors.

Even so, it is a hill shorter than the Plaza One.

Even if this building is won for 400 million dollars, it will not be a loss, because it is the soul of Rockefeller Center.

Guo Yongkun has even seen the Rockefeller family's plan: they have insight into the trend of American real estate.

However, no matter how god they are, they can't be gods.

They can predict that US real estate will plummet at this stage, but can they predict when it will pick up?

That's impossible!

The whole world, only he knows.

To be honest, if he wants to be ruthless and buy all of Rockefeller Center, it is okay.

1.37 billion US dollars, just refer to the selling price in his previous life, empty his UBS account, and don't need to sell any family property, and then ask Chen Dashao to borrow some, he can still make it up.

But he knew that this could not be done.

If you really want to do it, you will be the enemy of the entire United States.

The Mitsubishi Group has used the lessons of blood and tears to verify the matter.

What about the end?

With a loss of blood, the Rockefeller Center was still back in the hands of the Rockefeller family.

However, if you just buy one of them, it will certainly not have the effect of "the pride of Americans being bought by foreigners".

"Don't worry, find a place to eat first. ”

They haven't eaten yet.

There is no mistake
