Chapter 895 Spoils of War
If only cash is counted, Jing Jian's gain this time is not big. In order to make the fake come true, the continuous high-interest short-term loans, and the prevention of insider trading, the profits of Lee Industries and Prince Fahd Jr. are also less than a penny.
Verloso also knew this, and he asked, "Boss, you're still quite short of money, right? Do you want to transfer some contracts to Li? I will help talk, hoping that the price will be higher." ”
Shaking his head with a smile, Jing Jian rejected Veroso's kindness: "After this time, no one dares to do anything to me again." The previous time it was Wang Lie, this time it was Colwill and Dennis. There are not so many people who are not afraid of death, so you can rest assured. ”
The two reversals before and after make people feel that Jing Jian is superb and mysterious. But this mystery does not exist for the Lee brothers. Although it is unlikely that he will bite back, he still needs to be guarded, and it is best not to show his weakness in front of Xiao Li.
On the contrary, Guo Wenzhen is still quite optimistic: "Brother Xiaojian, how many good things can you get this time?"
"Huh. Jing Jian didn't answer directly. This weekend hasn't passed yet, and there's still a lot of finishing work to follow.
……
When Mr. Li arrived before dinner, Mr. Jing was on the phone with lawyer Smith:
"Smith, is it going well?"
"Yes, boss. As you instructed, we waited for Mr. Cowell at Cowell's office. The host handled such a big business, so Smith couldn't help but be very excited, and he couldn't wait to report the results to Jing Jian: "Mr. Cowell is very obedient and basically meets the requirements of your list, boss." Preliminary estimates put the total value at between $1.2 billion and $1.5 billion, and all we paid was the $160 million check (the bridge loan). However, before signing a formal contract, Mr. Cowell expects you to meet two conditions. ”
"Oh, on what terms?"
"One is that Mr. Cowell hopes that you can cooperate with him to do some publicity, and this time your comeback is mainly because of him, because Mr. Cowell's last-minute counterattack allowed you to escape death. In terms of publicity, Mr. Cowell will solve it himself, that is, in case a reporter comes to you for an interview, he needs your cooperation. It doesn't need to be too long, just a three-month non-disclosure contract. ”
"Hahaha. Jing Jian laughed and couldn't help but say a word in Chinese, ", being old and not dying is a thief!"
"Boss, what did you say?" Smith was a little confused.
"Nothing, nothing. Jing Jian smiled, "Tell him that it is impossible for us to take the initiative to cooperate, and only we victors can have dignity." At most, three months of silence remained. I hope that old guy can know his position. ”
"Okay, boss. I think Mr. Cowell should be able to accept that. ”
Jing Jian somewhat regretted that he was not kind, he didn't want to eat more, and even wanted to swallow all of Cowell, but his strength was still insufficient, and the $1.2 billion to $1.5 billion was already the limit of his appetite.
In the past, Jing Jian had calculated that in this game, Cowell lost almost one-third of his family property, and now he has given one-third of his family property as his spoils, and then he will definitely face a "cruel relegation battle", which will more or less further shrink his net worth, so in the end, Cowell should be able to stabilize at 8 or 900 million, right? Barely able to maintain the name of a billionaire.
Cowell's choice can be described as quite rational. The strong man gave a large amount of loot like a broken wrist, in exchange for his own respite. Moreover, in the short journey of the marriage contract, he was able to restrain his emotions, not fight with Jing Jian, and chose the result of combining the benefits of both sides, which made Jing Jian really a little impressed.
Of course, it is one thing to be impressed, and it is another to be safe. If Cowell just refuses to accept this "Cowell opportunity", Jing Jian will really have a headache.
It would have bankrupted Cowell, but those assets would have fallen into the hands of the financial institutions responsible for liquidation. At that time, Jing Jian will have to pay a lot of price, and there are even many competitors who will get the same spoils, and they will be lucky to benefit 500 or 600 million in the end. Especially those competitors, everyone knows that good things will come and grab them, and even Jing Jian can't get all those favorite industries in the end.
Smith continued: "Boss, Mr. Cowell would like you to authorize the disposal of Dennis's estate, and please trust his professional credibility. However, I hope you have 800 million in cash on hand, which should be enough to cover the rest of the situation. Mr. Cowell mentioned in passing that he had filed a case and the court had signed a bankruptcy order. Dennis's whereabouts are unknown, and all his assets have been held in escrow by some good friends. ”
......Although Jing Jian didn't say anything, he was already very surprised in his heart. This old guy is ruthless enough to immediately turn his face and slash at his former ally?
However, with Cowell to deal with the specific operation, it is ...... As for the $800 million, that's what it should be. Cowell believed that Jing Jian could understand the meaning of these words, and Jing Jian did understand. The most important thing is how to divide it? Or even the minimum amount of commission? Cowell did not mention it, that is to say, the two sides have already acquiesced that Cowell is working for Jing Jianbai this time. Since it is a part-time job, it is too much for the principal to be taken over by Cowell.
Of course, Cowell also has his own gains. The first is reputation, not the kind of reputation that turns the face and is ruthless, but a good reputation of "eternal winner" on Wall Street. In addition, Cowell pointed out the "good friend in charge of custody", can he earn some transfer fees more or less? For such careful thinking, Jing Jian must have ignored it.
"Promise the old fellow. Jing Jian smiled, "But I will send a financial and lawyer to supervise it." Smith, I hope you'll be up to the task. ”
"Thank you, thank you boss. Smith couldn't help himself. After many years of daughter-in-law becoming a mother-in-law, she can finally be on her own. Excited, Smith couldn't help but say something, "Boss, don't worry, I will resign from the firm when I go back this time, and concentrate on serving as your legal counsel in the future." ”
Jing Jianjian scolded with a smile: "You are already a partner of the firm, and you have a high degree of freedom, and Mr. Kevin doesn't care about you serving me at all." But if you resign, how will you face Mr. Kevin? How will you face your fellow lawyers? You have to learn from that old fellow, it doesn't matter what else matters, your reputation is the most important thing!"
"Understood, boss. Smith also came to his senses, and he was still in joy.
"Okay, it's nothing, I'll hang up. Jing Jian said, "Sometimes the most troublesome thing is not to sell the stolen goods together, but to share the stolen goods together! ”
