Chapter 132: The Road Ahead (Subscription Requested)

Just as Jonas was about to sleep, there was a knock on the door.

Plov looked at Jonas who was standing at the bedroom door, walked to the door and asked, "Which one?"

"I'm Jean Claude Gander, a trader at Philip Brothers, and I have a business I want to talk to Mr. Hoffmann. ”

The name perked Jonas's heart, because the man Yonas was familiar with, and in later life, he sold his oil company to the company where Jonas worked for seventy-two billion dollars.

The deal had a great impact in later generations and greatly contributed to the development of Chinese investment in the exploration and exploitation of oil upstream in Africa.

Jonas knew all about the future oil tycoon, and knew that he was now just a trader, but he soon inherited Macridge's former position at Philip Brothers.

Four years later, he followed in Richie's footsteps and went on his own, and he did very well.

He also knew that he was a French-Swiss who was born in Egypt and was particularly fond of Arabic antiquities.

Plov said: "It's not early, we might as well make an appointment and talk." ”

"We have been waiting six hours to find an opportunity to communicate with Mr. Hoffman, and I have only taken five minutes of Mr. Hoffman's time. ”

Jonas shrugged at Nicole, who was already wearing sexy lingerie, opened the door and said, "Let them in." ”

He walked out of the bedroom, closed the door, and headed for it.

Gandall, who was born in 54, is eleven years older than Jonas and is only 29 years old this year. However, a successful life often gives people a special temperament.

He wasn't like Jonas looking like a young man, but a complete grown-up, which made him feel very reliable.

"Hello, Mr. Gandel, I'm Jonas Hoffmann. ”

Gander is not tall, at most 1.7 meters, and Jonas is a head taller than him.

His father was French Swiss, he was born in Alexandria, grew up in Egypt, returned to Switzerland after secondary school, and obtained Swiss citizenship as a descendant of Swiss.

Although Jonas was young, he had a lot of money and a large force behind him, so Gander was not only not arrogant in the face of him, but also very humble.

"Hello, Jonas, let me introduce myself first......"

Jonas shook his hand, interrupted him, and said, "I have heard of Mr. Gander's name for a long time. After Uncle Mark, you are the most successful trader at Philip Brothers and a rising star in the energy world. Uncle Mark once told me about you and asked me to learn from you. ”

Of course, it was impossible for him to confirm Jonas with Macridge, not to mention that Richie's feud with the Philip Brothers Company was unresolved, and Gandel's current identity was too far from Richie's.

When Plov heard Jonas say this, he relaxed his guard and asked, "What do you want to drink?"

"Nothing is needed, I only disturb Mr. Hoffmann for a few minutes. ”

Jonas stretched out his arm and led Gander to sit down on the couch. "It's getting late, for a good night's sleep, get Mr. Gandel a bottle of soda. Please be seated, I don't think we're meeting for the benefit of ......"

Gander paused for a moment, sat down on the sofa and asked directly, "Jonas, if Philip Brothers can pay a higher price, will there be a chance to get your father's oil well development rights in West Asia?"

Jonas shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, I didn't think about this suggestion. ”

He groaned and said, "I see." In other words, your father's assets are completely internally digested this time, and outsiders don't have any chance. ”

Jonas nodded and said, "Business is for profit, but not entirely for profit. ”

"What if it's a fifty percent premium?"

Jonas thought it hard and shook his head. "If it were you, I would probably agree. However, since I learned that Philip Brothers was at odds with Uncle Mark over a million dollars in commissions, I wouldn't have made any deals with Philip Brothers. ”

He paused and asked, "Is that why you're seeing me at this time?"

Jonas laughed: "I don't think I can trick you into leaving the Philip Brothers, the key is the measurement of gains and losses. ”

He also laughed and said: "You are completely different from the data, I originally thought that I would meet a lonely rich man who is not good at words, and those intelligence agents should be fired." ”

Jonas stretched out his hand and said, "If you are interested in leaving Philip Brothers in the future, I am willing to work with you personally. ”

He nodded, stood up, and said, "In that case, I won't make any more efforts. Indeed, sometimes principles are more important than interests. Mr. Hoffman, it's a pleasure to meet you. ”

"You can call me Jonas. ”

He stretched out his hand and smiled, "You can also call me Jean." ”

Jonas is well aware that Gander has been following in Rich's footsteps.

Three years after Rich left Philip Brothers, he joined the company and later took up the position he had held.

In 1987, he and three partners founded their own West African oil trading agency, named after a member of the African antelope family: AOG Group (AddaxOryxG Meat Plate).

Adax is the name of an African antelope, and Oryx is directly an antelope. His company is known to some as the Antelope Group, or simply as Adacus.

He started his way into the industry from downstream trading, and because downstream trading was less profitable, he gradually became involved in upstream investments like Richie.

Rich was already hiding behind the scenes at this time, and the energy conglomerates had almost monopolized oil and mineral resources in Central Asia, West Asia, the Soviet Union, etc.

Born in Egypt and fluent in Arabic, he took a different path and began to explore oil fields in CΓ΄te d'Ivoire, Benin, Nigeria and other countries.

Starting with the acquisition of physical assets to enhance his trading position, he has purchased oil storage tanks, oil warehouses, liquefied petroleum gas and oil fields.

He was the most Richie-like leader in the later interest groups, good at trading power and money, and bold and pursued the concept of wealth and danger.

For such a future tycoon who has not yet made a career, it is certainly impossible for Jonas not to pay attention to the fact that the best investment in the world is not to invest in industry, but to invest in people.

Otherwise, there would be no need for Jonas to see him now.

After sending Gander away, Jonas said to Plov: "Write down his name, and if he contacts me in the future, he needs to inform me as soon as possible." ”

Plov asked: "Is it included in the first level of concern?"

Jonas thought for a moment and affirmed, "Level 1." ”

Plov is not a qualified business assistant, but it is foreseeable that he will be one of Jonas's most valued subordinates in the future.

Yannick had been in a car accident, and Hannah is now taking Jonas's safety very seriously, and Plov will never leave him in the future.

Jonas hadn't officially taken over the family business yet, and he didn't want to go out with a bunch of people behind him, so he asked Plov to take on some of the assistant functions.

Jonas didn't need any advice from him in business, just a piece of paper, a pen, and jotted down Jonas's instructions.

And, in order for him to understand the focus of business, Jonas doesn't have to stress to him which is more important.

He only needs to divide the people he interacts with into different important levels, and then Plov will know how to deal with some socialization and socialization.

Gander is now listed as a first-tier person, along with some of the key partners in the energy group.

Back in the bedroom, Nicole was asleep.

Today, she has been exhausted from Switzerland to France, from France to England, and in the evening to attend a drinking party.

Not only her, but even Prov is holding on.

But Jonas was still full of energy, and now, he felt more and more clearly that he was different from ordinary people.

With the energy bonus of two people, he now rests better than the others by sleeping only four hours a day.

Having a lot of energy also means that he can enjoy life longer and handle more things than others.

Although the delicate body was in front of him, Jonas quickly shifted his gaze. He turned on the lamp next to the couch, then turned off the ceiling light in the room and began to read Yannick's asset statistics.

In just 10 years, Yannick has participated in more than 6,000 investments, served as a legal person in 45 companies, and held shares in more than 200 companies.

At present, he maintains more than 500 equity investments, and Jonas's main task is to deal with these equity interests and then divest many of the companies from Yannick.

Most of these companies are glove companies, and the investment projects of these companies are high-quality assets.

Today, Jonas has given his opinion on the disposal of the main assets in the face of Fward, and the next time is the time for the partners to coordinate themselves.

They came to a consensus before they came to talk to Jonas.

Of course, Jonas will not be afraid of them to lower the price, because their offer will definitely not be lower than the market price, or even slightly higher.

This is an unspoken rule, but it is also the core interest of this interest group.

If every member suffers an accident and their relatives are exploited, is there a need for this interest group to exist?

So, in order to maintain this rule, the other members will not be ugly when they eat.

What's more, the Hoffmanns are not without any power. It can even be said that without Yannick, the Hoffman family is still a force to be reckoned with.

The Hoffman family's private bank sends a clearing team to triple the valuation of each asset, one for market value, one for sustainable income, and one for shrinkage valuation.

No one can take advantage of the Hoffmann family for nothing.

Macridge and Flat Casgreen will not allow it either!

The only thing Jonas can't grasp now is what kind of relationship he will establish with the other partners in the interest group, and whether he will be sharp or not.

Any change in choice could trigger a huge butterfly effect for the future.
