CHAPTER XLII

Jiang Yongsi followed the guidance on WeChat to the door of a private club, which was on the side of Nathan Road, but after entering the gate, he found that the winding paths inside were quiet, and it was actually a different scenery.

As soon as Jiang Yongsi pushed the door open, a delicately dressed front desk lady immediately stood up.

"Miss Jiang. ”

Jiang Yongsi was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly smiled: "Hello, I'm here to find Mr. Qiao." ”

The front desk immediately nodded and smiled, and said, "Mr. Qiao is already waiting for you inside, please come with me." ”

The front desk lady led Jiang Yongsi through the secluded indoor garden, a winding indoor stream, and path, all the way to the depths of the courtyard.

Jiang Yongsi looked at this unique cave and liked it very much.

There are antiques on the desks along the way, and there are famous paintings on the walls.

The front desk lady took Jiang Yongsi to a house that imitated ancient times and stopped.

Jiang Yongsi looked up and saw two words written on the door plaque: court language.

The front desk lady opened the door and made a "please" gesture.

Jiang Yongsi took off his shoes and entered, and was immediately attracted by the antique decoration inside.

Jiang Yongsi looked around, but did not see Qiao Younan.

"Come in!"

Jiang Yongsi didn't see her, only heard her voice, looked around, and found Qiao Younan looking at her from behind the screen.

Jiang Yongsi turned the screen and saw Qiao Younan, and smiled before speaking.

"Mr. Qiao. ”

Qiao Younan nodded, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, which showed that he was also happy in his heart.

Qiao Younan made a cup of tea for Jiang Yongsi and motioned for her to taste it.

Jiang Yongsi picked up the tea, took a sip, and couldn't help but praise: "Good tea! This tea must be—"

Qiao Younan looked at Jiang Yongsi's appearance and thought that she knew tea very well, but unexpectedly, Jiang Yongsi changed his words and said, "It's very expensive!"

Qiao Younanwan smiled and said, "Your judgment of tea is quite realistic. ”

Joe smiled. ”

"This is Jin Junmei, black tea, a branch of Zhengshan Xiaozhong. Cultivation began in 2005. Fresh tea buds of the original ecological small varieties in the high mountains in the Wuyi Mountain Nature Reserve are planted in the mountains at an altitude of 1200-1800 meters, and then handmade by the tea master through processing steps such as withering, shaking, fermentation, and soft twisting. The appearance is black and yellow, and the black is golden in the black, and the fragrance is high. 6 to 80,000 bud tips can be made into a pound of golden eyebrows. But this tea is not expensive. It's a few hundred to a few thousand dollars. ”

"A pound?"

Qiao Younan took a sip of tea and nodded.

Jiang Yongsi smiled slightly, thinking that your measure of whether you are expensive or not is obviously different from mine.

"How was your rest last night?"

Qiao Younan's unprovoked question made Jiang Yongsi's heart warm, and he nodded with a smile.

"Mr. Qiao, I have something I want to ask you, are you now concerned about your subordinate Jiang Yongsi, or are you caring about me, Jiang Yongsi. ”

Qiao Younan looked at Jiang Yongsi, his eyes were full of tenderness, but he didn't know why, gradually, his eyes changed.

Qiao Younan lowered his head, took a sip of tea, and did not speak.

Jiang Yongsi looked at Qiao Younan, and suddenly understood, now he was her boss, Qiao Younan.

Yesterday's sweetness and happiness are all in the past.

Qiao Younan seemed to feel that such an atmosphere was too embarrassing, so he cleared his throat lightly and diverted the topic.

"I asked you to come here today to talk to you about Wynn. We can't let anyone know what we want you to do, and no one can know about it, except you!

Jiang Yongsi forced himself to calm down and nodded.

"Okay! Wynn's merger and acquisition case, you know that it has been a critical moment, and it has been confirmed that we and Huiyin will compete together, according to the current situation of Huiyin not retreating, even if we repel Huiyin, we will be greatly damaged. "What does Mr. Qiao mean to break this seesaw?"

Qiao Younan smiled and praised: "Yes, the balance of the three parties is always better than the competition between two tigers." ”

Jiang Yongsi looked at Qiao Younan seriously, with an expression of willingness to hear about it.

"Miss Fang will go to Europe to convince Boma Brokers to join the competition, and you will announce the news to the media at the right time. This is the information of Boma Brokerage, and they will announce the offer to acquire Wynn at that time. You have now been stripped out of the Wynn merger and acquisition case by me, and it is reasonable for you, as a newcomer who has been bullied by me, to take revenge and stab Boma's news to the media. ”

When Qiao Younan said "bullying", he didn't know why, he glanced at Jiang Yongsi more and smiled lightly.

Jiang Yongsi pursed his lips and took the information handed over by Qiao Younan.

No wonder Miss Fang is in such a hurry to go on a business trip to Europe!"

Qiao Younan nodded.

"But we have reached the stage of tender offer, if Boma wants to join this competition, is it going to announce a hostile takeover?"

"Do you remember KKR's classic case? Qiao Younan did not directly answer Jiang Yongsi's question, but for her as a historical event.

"The Barbarian at the Gate!" Jiang Yongsi replied quickly.

This is a classic case in the history of financial mergers and acquisitions, and every business school will use it as an example for professor analysis, how can Jiang Yongsi not understand.

"Reynolds-Nabisco is a giant enterprise formed by the merger of Reynolds and Nabisco in the United States, and ranked the 19th largest enterprise in the United States in the mid-to-late 80s of the last century. Among them, Reynolds of the United States, famous for selling Camel brand cigarettes, was the largest tobacco manufacturer in the United States before World War II. Narbesco, on the other hand, is a food manufacturer in the United States, and its most famous product is the world-famous Oreo biscuits. In 1985, the merger of the two companies resulted in the creation of Reynolds-Nabiske in the United States, which still maintains the two main lines of business of tobacco and food. In the competition at that time, the KKR team was able to win because it understood the intentions of the Reynolds-Nabiske board of directors in the United States. It is necessary to protect the integrity of the company as much as possible, to ensure that the company's shareholders can retain a significant proportion of the company's shares after the leveraged buyout, and to minimize post-acquisition layoffs. As a result, KKR did not consider the purchase price in isolation (KKR's final offer was $109 per share), but combined the price factor with many of the above factors that the board of directors cared about, and proposed a balanced acquisition plan for all parties. On the other hand, KKR pocketed almost all of the Wall Street elite at the time, leaving only a handful of competitors. ”

Listening to Jiang Yongsi's eloquent talk, Qiao Younan smiled and said, "It seems that Wharton's teaching quality is okay!"

Jiang Yongsi smiled slightly.

"The biggest problem with the Wynn merger right now is the board resolution. Qiao Younan said with a frown.

"Board resolution?"

"What will the board ultimately decide who wins and who loses?"

"Generally speaking, of course, the higher the price, the more the board leans towards it. However, after all, Wynn has the nature of a family business, and many shareholders started their businesses with Zhang Yongcai, which is why Wynn Trust, which was held by Zhang Bo at that time, opposed the merger, because they must consider Wynn's subsequent development. However, at the same time, the board of directors has a duty of loyalty to the company, loyalty means being loyal to the interests of shareholders, and prudence means making decisions about the company's affairs prudently. Similarly, if Voge can't give Wynn a satisfactory plan, even if Huiyin is out, Wynn can also introduce other brokerages or even terminate the merger. Of course, this is a policy, and it will be very detrimental to Wynn's own development, and they will not choose this as a last resort. ”

"That's right. We are now in a situation where Peter is not going to support us if we don't have an advantage on the board. However, we now have no brilliance in our business strategy plan, and we are still under the dark arrows of competitors everywhere. It's important to get Huiyin out of this race, and it's important for us to make an acquisition that balances the interests of all parties. ”

What Mr. Qiao meant was that in terms of finance, if he could not understand Wynn's current patent use and business prospects, he would not be able to make a good assessment of his growth, nor would he be able to make a detailed plan for the current stage of debt and subsequent repayment. Jiang Yongsi was exquisite, and immediately understood the meaning of Qiao Younan's words.

"Yes, when others play with us, we can't be soft-hearted, but professionally, we must do everything without leakage and convincing. ”

Jiang Yongsi agreed: "The soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, you are upright, I will be open, you play yin, I will let you see what the Infernal Hell is." ”

"It's rare to hear you—"

Jiang Yongsi looked at Qiao Younan with a puzzled expression.

"There's a hooliganism, too. ”

Jiang Yongsi smiled "poof". said: "The teacher taught well!"

Qiao Younan sighed in his heart, how familiar this sentence was, just like when he was the other party.

At this moment, Qiao Younan's phone rang.

Jiang Yongsi and Qiao Younan both saw the name displayed on the phone: Fang Qi.

I don't know why, there was a sudden awkward atmosphere between the two.

Qiao Younan glanced at Jiang Yongsi, but still picked up the phone.

"Hey. Qiao Younan listened to the phone, but didn't speak much, just kept saying "um, um".

I don't know what Fang Qi on the other end of the phone said, Qiao Younan suddenly glanced at Jiang Yongsi, and the reluctant but helpless but fierce look made Jiang Yongsi's heart froze.

Jiang Yongsi watched with his own eyes as the tenderness and smile on Qiao Younan's face slowly dissipated.

Looking at Qiao Younan's expression, Jiang Yongsi's heart also fell down like a scale, and she intuitively felt that the moment of tenderness and sweetness between her and Qiao Younan was going to end here.

Qiao Younan hung up the phone and didn't speak. didn't mention what Fang Qi said, and didn't laugh with Jiang Yongsi again.

Jiang Yongsi just looked at Qiao Younan quietly, like Ananda waiting for trial.

Qiao Younan saw Jiang Yongsi's smile slowly froze on his face, and naturally knew that Jiang Yongsi already knew what he meant, Qiao Younan didn't explain, but sighed deeply in his heart, and said in his heart, Qiao Younan, let go of it here.

"Yongsi, there are some things that I don't want to, it's that I can't now. Yongsi, I-"

Jiang Yongsi waited for Qiao Younan to explain, but Qiao Younan looked deeply into Jiang Yongsi's eyes and looked at it for a long time, but he didn't continue.

"I have a video conference with Miss Fang, you can go back and prepare Wynn's case first. ”

The brilliance in Jiang Yongsi's eyes was extinguished instantly, and his face was full of disappointment.

"Yes, Mr. Qiao. ”

Jiang Yongsi stood up, and before leaving, he couldn't help but turn around and glance at Qiao Younan.

There is confusion, sadness, and resentment in his eyes.

Jiang Yongsi saw that Qiao Younan didn't look up, sighed silently, and left.

Qiao Younan listened to the door "click" shut, he didn't have too much expression, just looked at a poem and painting hanging next to him, and looked at it for a long time.

I saw an old poem by Wen Tingyun written on it:

Nangezi Tang Wen Tingyun

A foot of crimson is better than dust, and the old is not as good as the new.

He_ Huan peach pit is hateful in the end, and there is no one else in Xu Yuan.

The bottom of the well is lit with deep candles, and the Gonglang is a long line of Mo Go.

Ling_Long dice An red beans, into the bone lovesickness does not know.
