At three o'clock in the afternoon, Li Guangyu greeted Bank of America President Nick Kiannini outside the hotel to see if the California consortium had the same purpose as the Texas consortium this time. 35xs

Americans' concept of time is really not ordinarily strong, saying that when is when, it will not come early, nor will it be delayed for a long time.

After getting out of the car, Nick Kiannini said to Li Guangyu, "Hello Mr. Li, it's a pleasure to meet you. ”

Under Peng Xiaoli's introduction, Li Guangyu knew that the person in front of him was the current helmsman of the California consortium, Bank of America President Nick Kiannini.

Li Guangyu said, "Mr. Kiannini, I am the same, please inside." ”

Led by Peng Xiaoli, Li Guangyu and Nick Kiannini came to the booked private room.

After Lee Kwangwoo sat down with Nick Chiannini, he said, "Mr. Kiannini, what kind of coffee do you drink?"

Nick Chiannini replied, "Mr. Li, I know that you all like to drink tea in the East, I won't drink coffee today, I think Mr. Li must have good tea, let's taste the taste of Oriental tea today." ”

After Li Guangyu instructed Gan Qin to make a pot of tea, he said to him, "Mr. Chiannini, I am very honored that you have made a special appointment with me this time, but I can't think of anything else that the California consortium can do to help, and our Li Group can help." ”

Nick Kiannini said, "Mr. Lee, I just came to meet you today, your development history has been studied by countless families and consortia, your achievements in just a few years are legendary, and all your American corporate headquarters are in our California, and some of our families and groups in California want to maintain friendly relations with you." 35xs”

Li Guangyu didn't know what the California consortium had in mind, if it was just a simple friendly and cooperative relationship, Li Guangyu would naturally welcome it, and if the California consortium wanted to interfere in his group, Li Guangyu would have to be careful.

"Mr. Kiannini, it is also what we hope that we can maintain friendly cooperation with some groups in California, which will also promote the development of our Lee Group in California. ”

At this time, Ganqin brought in the brewed tea and poured it for Li Guangyu and Nick Kiannini respectively.

Li Guangyu said, "Mr. Kiannini, this tea is one of the top teas in the mainland that I purchased from the mainland, one of the top teas in the mainland, you can taste some and see if you like it." ”

Nick Kiannini knew that Lee was on guard against himself and the California consortium, and feared that the California consortium would want to take control of his company.

Then he said to Li Guangyu, "Mr. Li, I know that your heart is very wary of our major families and consortia in the United States, and I think your worries are too redundant. For example, our California consortium just wants to make friends with you, and has no intention of annexing your group, and besides, your group is developing well, and it is not something that can be eaten casually, so you don't have to worry too much about it. Flash"

Li Guangyu does not believe that these American conglomerates will be kind people, and if they can eat the Li Group in one bite, they will definitely not be soft. The consortium led by Morgan is not merciful when it comes to mergers and acquisitions of other companies, and many times it will carry out hostile mergers and acquisitions, which is why Li Guangyu is reluctant to list his group.

It is too simple for these predators on Wall Street to snipe at the Lee Group in the stock market, and behind these predators is the control of these family consortia in the United States.

Li Guangyu said, "Mr. Kiannini, our Li Group is like a child and a giant compared to you, and we have to be cautious. Of course, it is also an honor for me to be able to make friends with the California Foundation. ”

Nick Chiannini said, "Mr. Lee, you don't have to worry too much about our California consortium, I came here with the sincerity of my heart, and I hope to become friends with you." I also know that you don't know much about our California consortium, and we will not immediately invite you to join our California consortium, we can cooperate first, so that you can feel the sincerity of our California consortium, and the door of our California consortium will be open to you at any time, and you can slowly understand before making a decision. ”

Nick Chiannini did not hope that Lee Guangyu would join his side immediately, like the Texas consortium, he hoped that the California consortium would help the development of the Lee Group in the United States, and shorten the distance between the Lee Group and the California consortium, even if the Lee Group eventually developed into an independent consortium, which could also be a strong ally of the California consortium. If it hadn't developed into a consortium, the California consortium would have been Lee Kong-woo's best choice.

Nick Kiannini also wants to expand his business into Asia, where the current situation of California conglomerates is not ideal. In Japan, sniped by the six major Japanese consortiums, the California consortium did not gain a firm foothold, in the treasure island and Xiangjiang area, the Citigroup has more advantages here, who made the California consortium only began to rise after World War II, these two areas in World War II, the Citigroup began to enter.

Lee's influence in these regions and Southeast Asia has risen dramatically in recent years, and Nick Kiannini does not want to miss the opportunity to rely on Lee Guangyu to penetrate the California consortium's companies into these markets.

Li Guangyu himself listened to Nick Chiannini's words and put his worries down, just if it is cooperation, it will be beneficial to both parties, Li Guangyu's development in the United States, with the assistance of the California consortium, some problems do not need to worry too much.

Li Guangyu said, "Mr. Kiannini, I wonder what you think about the cooperation between our two families?"

Nick Kiannini said, "Mr. Li, don't worry, our cooperation will be mutually beneficial. We at the California Consortium are assisting you with the development of the Lee Group in the United States, and we hope that you at the Lee's Group will be able to assist some of our California Consortium companies in their development in Asia. ”

Li Guangyu did not have any opinion on this, Li Guangyu said, "Mr. Kiannini, if this is the case, I think the cooperation between the Li Group and the California Foundation will be very pleasant, and we at the Li Group also look forward to reaching such a cooperation with you." ”

Nick Kiannini said with a smile, "Mr. Li, our cooperation will definitely promote the development of both sides, and will never harm everyone's own interests." At the same time, you also know that Merrill Lynch Group is also our group, and when you make angel investment in the future, you also hope that Tianyu Investment can cooperate more with us Merrill Lynch. ”

Li Guangyu immediately agreed to Nick Kiannini's request, anyway, it is impossible for these companies to let Li Guangyu invest in a company, with the entry of a California consortium, if Goldman Sachs is pulled, the listing of these companies will definitely be very beneficial at that time.

Li Guangyu discussed for more than two hours in the private room, discussing the framework and general direction of the cooperation between the California consortium and the Li Group.

After sending off Nick Kiannini, Li Guangyu said to Peng Xiaoli, "The specific details of our future cooperation with the California consortium will be discussed between you and them. ”

Peng Xiaoli said happily: "Okay Li Sheng, I will ensure that the interests of the group will not be harmed when I negotiate." ”
