Chapter 234 Cocktail Party, Vacation

On June 21, the employees of Hoffmann Investment Bank, who are scattered around the world, gathered for the most time today. Genius one live three five first 35D1

Bennett and Wolf made a special trip back from Dongying, and even Schwarch, the big god, and Hugo, the small god, also appeared at the headquarters of Hoffman Investment Bank today.

Today's guests, most of whom are dressed in tunics and cheap suits, are treated with the warmest of hospitality.

In order to facilitate communication, all people today speak English, and Jonas speaks Mandarin in its purest form when communicating alone.

Jonas's fluency in Beijing-flavored Mandarin stunned almost all the guests, as Jonas not only speaks, but even quotes scriptures, and clearly knows a lot about Eastern culture.

In his welcome speech, Jonas Cheng gave a speech in Chinese, using more than 20 idioms to show his understanding and love for China.

Of course, these shocks were transferred to Jonas's "big plan" after Jonas introduced Hoffman's investment bank's capital strength and future plans.

An investment bank, which has only been established for less than five years, now manages more than 5 billion private equity funds, plus more than 1 billion yuan of its own funds, and manages nearly 7 billion Swiss francs.

This amount is four times the amount of all the foreign exchange reserves in China today, and Jonas opened his mouth and said that he expected to invest more than $5 billion in China, and the first phase of investment was prepared for $500 million, which was going to drive all the guests crazy.

When Jonas came down from the stage, he was immediately surrounded by guests. No one sees Jonas as a young man anymore, throwing out many practical questions.

And Jonas answered one by one in Chinese, trying to meet everyone's questions.

His understanding of China is also beyond everyone's surprise, and he is also quite familiar with the laws of domestic officialdom, and emphasizes his willingness to develop together with Huaxia.

Today's investment is not as free as in later generations, wholly foreign-owned is impossible, and joint ventures also need to go through cumbersome procedures.

Taking the joint venture in the automotive industry as an example, in 197, Toms Murphy, chairman of General Motors, led a delegation to visit China, during the negotiations, General Motors introduced many cooperation methods to the Chinese side, among which Murphy proposed an English word "otventure" that Chinese people did not understand much at first, so that under the multi-faceted consideration of the Chinese side, the history of China's automobile industry began a new page in the history of Sino-foreign joint ventures.

In 192, Huaxia Automobile Industry Co., Ltd., which has industry management functions, was established with the task of coordinating the development of China's automobile industry and gradually forming a pillar industry.

At that time, the head of the first machine department was the chairman. After the launch of the large-scale layout of heavy vehicles, light vehicles, and engines, the attempt to produce sedans was put on the agenda.

Subsequently, Modu Automobile Group made a joint venture with Volkswagen, Yangcheng Automobile Group entered a joint venture with Peugeot, and Jingcheng Automobile Group entered a joint venture with A.

In the future, there will be a joint venture between FAW and Volkswagen, a joint venture between Tianjin and Daihatsu, and a joint venture between FAW and Citroen.

At present, the joint venture companies are all state-designated cooperative manufacturers, not investors, and can freely choose partners.

Moreover, the strength of domestic enterprises is generally insufficient, and the establishment of a joint venture company is not as much as you want to invest, because the strength of the cooperative opponent must be considered.

Foreign capital must not exceed 50% of the red line, which was not broken by BMW until 201.

Jonas is looking forward to working with FAW, which is an automobile group that does not have a direct interest in foreign investment.

In fact, if Jonas buys the Steyr plant, he will have a direct relationship with several heavy-duty truck companies in the country. However, they are still a little too small compared to the second automobile.

After hearing Jonas's cooperation, the other party immediately promised to actively report and try to coordinate the relationship at all levels.

If Jonas really invests 5 billion US dollars, only FAW and FAW will be qualified to become partners in China.

As a sign of cooperation, Jonas donated a house in Rieter Park, not far south of the headquarters in Zurich, as a residence for the Consulate General.

Now Huaxia is very poor, there are only offices in Switzerland, there is no consulate, and the main thing is that they cannot afford to buy a house.

And this house was originally bought by Huaxia in 6 years, and since then it has been Huaxia's residence in the Swiss Consulate General.

Jonas traveled to Switzerland in 2019 and went there to go through the formalities.

Overall, the reception was a great success, with Jonas fully expressing his willingness and attitude to invest, and Huaxia's response was also very positive.

Jonas did not prepare any gifts for the guests, but on the spot, the atmosphere of the Dragon Boat Festival celebration was arranged, and the dragon boat team of China was invited to come to Zurich to hold a friendly match at this time next year, with Hoffmann Investment Bank sponsoring all the expenses.

This kind of cultural dissemination has always been attached great importance to Huaxia, and it readily accepted the invitation.

Until the end of the reception, one of the plans of the mayor of Lucerne made everyone in China feel the sincerity of Jonas.

Jonas's plan was for him to invest five million dollars and Lucerne City Hall to contribute a park next to the Swiss Museum of Transport in Lucerne to build an authentic Chinese park.

Huaxia Park covers an area of two hectares, and can be used to build different styles of buildings, pavilions, pavilions, and gardens from all over China.

The most important part of the project was to build a giant panda pavilion, and Jonas demanded at least two pairs of giant pandas.

The Huaxia Park sells tickets to the outside world, and the three operate together, and the proportion of shares is determined according to the support of Huaxia.

Huaxia is very interested, because Huaxia is too poor at this time to miss any opportunity to earn foreign exchange.

At the same time, the construction of Huaxia Park, the main investment is borne by Jonas, and Huaxia is a little artificial, stone, and giant panda.

After the reception, the guests were arranged in the hotel booked by Hoffman Investment Bank, and Jonas was invited to the hotel to continue the conversation.

To Jonas's surprise, the next day, the Chinese guests gave feedback on the above opinions, and important people would come to Switzerland to negotiate with Jonas.

Huaxia wanted to form different negotiation teams, and the talks between the two sides were scheduled for July 15.

On June 22, Jonas went to train with the national team, and the next day, he faced Albania, which had made the Swiss team "suffer" at the Zurich Stadium.

Despite the disparity in strength, the qualifiers still attracted more than 40,000 people to watch the game, and the stadium with a capacity of 38,000 people was crowded.

Switzerland secured all three points and secured their position as top of the group.

As long as the Swiss team does not collapse in the next four games, it should be able to enter the finals directly.

On June 24, Jonas traveled to Stockholm, Sweden, to watch the European Secondary School Swimming Competition.

Neuer did not play well in this final, finishing fourth and just one step away from a medal.

On the field, Neuer barely squeezed out a smile, but anyone could see the red eyes.

After the game, crying in the hotel room was a sad cry, and her mother, Tede, couldn't persuade her, gave Jonas a wink, and exited the room.

Jonas was so pleased with the mother-in-law that when she left, he fell directly to Neuer's side and took her in his arms.

Neuer didn't care at first, but when she realized that her mother was not there and only Jonas was left in the room, she was so nervous that she forgot to cry.

Looking at her cute appearance, Jonas's heart was about to melt. "Still crying?"

She shyly pushed Jonas on the chest. "Don't make it bad. ”

"Of course not. Jonas looked at her little mouth and smiled, "This is the best thing in the world, how can it be bad?"

She couldn't help but be ashamed. "My heart is so sad, you still want to bully me. ”

Jonas smiled: "So I have already arranged it, and when I go back, we will go to the Seychelles for a vacation to make you happy." ”

Breaking free of Jonas's arm, she stood up. "But I'm scared now, and I'm not sure if I'm going to go!"

Jonas laughed, "I remember the promise, I won't ...... until your sixteenth birthday."

She boldly pounced on Jonas and lay on top of Jonas. "But I want you to kiss me, I don't know what kissing is like. ”

"Okay, in order to comfort your regret that you didn't win a medal, I'll satisfy you once. ”

When Jonas returned to Switzerland with Neuer and Tied, the friends he had invited were already waiting for him at his house.

The guests included former classmates from the Ross Academy, companions from large Swiss families, and some friends from the University of Zurich, all of whom were of similar identities.

A friend like Sterteng, although Jonas valued him, would not invite him to such a party, his status was too far apart, and his presence would only make him feel depressed.

In particular, some children of large families are not as peaceful as Jonas and are as proud as a little rooster, and they may show discrimination directly.

Like Randolph Churchill.

He and Edward both came, and each brought a female companion with them.

Go to the island to spend half a month, if you don't have a female companion, you won't be able to stand the loneliness.

It's the same with women, and Parler takes her boyfriend, Ernesto Bertarelli, with her.

Ernesto is a Swiss of Italian origin, and his family's company Seranto is the third largest pharmaceutical company in Switzerland after the two pharmaceutical companies in Basel.

He looked a little shy, but he was physically strong and an avid sailing enthusiast, and after learning that Jonas also loved sailing, he quickly saw Jonas as a confidant.

On June 26, a commercial plane leased by Jonas took off from Buochs Airport and flew directly to the Seychelles with a group of 65 people on board.

There were only twenty pairs of sixty-five, as well as a few cousins of Jonas, as well as his mother and three younger siblings in France.

Two adult cousins from my uncle's family are also on vacation with Jonas this time.

The rest were already working friends, assistants, and in order to protect them, Jonas arranged a few bodyguards to accompany him.
