Jonas also sat down, looked directly at him through his desk, and said, "Lieutenant Colonel Mariam, I don't think you have such a negotiating attitude. ”

"Negotiating?" said the other cheek, twitching, "If you don't have a good father, are you qualified to negotiate with us?" Mr. Fward, after twenty years of hard work, still sit next to them. Everyone who came with me survived the hail of bullets.

A kid like you, if not Hoffman's son, would still be enjoying a carefree life at school, deceiving the little girls with her pretty face. Do you think you are qualified to negotiate with us?

Come over today, I'm just informing you that because of Hoffman's death, the shares he left behind will be acquired by us, all you have to do is sign the contract, and then take those bills and go to the sports car and go to the girls......"

Jonas understood that the other party was a jealous young man, maybe he couldn't see that he was handsome, or maybe he couldn't see that he had hundreds of millions of family properties at a young age.

In addition, their family controls all aspects of power in Ethiopia, so he looks down on his second generation at all.

But he forgot that he himself is also a second-generation ......

Jonas noticed that Osberg beside him and Feverd, diagonally opposite, were both shaking their heads slightly, as if signaling him not to be impulsive. He leaned back in his chair and smiled and asked, "So, can I know how big a check Mr. Mariam has prepared for me?"

"Four million dollars, this is Mr. Hoffman's previous investment, and as a sign of our respect for the deceased, we will not pursue the loss caused by him this time. ”

Jonas said, "You keep talking about losses, so what is the loss? What did my father's death affect, or did you want to take advantage of my father's death to snatch the wealth that belongs to our family?"

"Four Million Dollar ......"

Jonas interrupted him and said, "Four million dollars is my father's investment more than a year ago, and over the past year, with these funds, local farmers have planted countless coffee saplings, solved countless local land disputes, and now that the harvest season is approaching, do you think these shares are still worth four million dollars?"

If we want to negotiate on a commercial basis, we need to value the shares according to a formal commercial valuation, not the initial investment amount.

If it's just four million dollars, it's not business, it's plunder! Or do you want to rely on your family's influence in Ethiopia to directly seize the wealth that belongs to our Hoffman family?"

The hostility was a bit inexplicable, but Jonas didn't care.

First of all, Ethiopia is not a planned development area for Jonas, and no matter how powerful the Mariam family is there, Jonas does not have to be afraid of them.

On the contrary, the Mariam family also needs this interest group to justify their name internationally, and they cannot do without the support of the interest group.

Second, when Eritrea seceded from Ethiopia and became an independent state in the nineties, Ethiopia lost even control of the Red Sea and its international status was even lower.

It is also very important that Ethiopia became a democratic government in later generations and became the seat of the African Union.

Although Jonas can't remember the exact time of the coup, at most the Mariam family will fall in the nineties, and the other side will not have many good days.

It would take them, like Isabella's strongman father, who had been poisoners for decades and still controlled the state in the 21st century, and the country had a lot of oil, to make Jonas condescend to please.

A middle-aged man who looked like a scholar next to Abi said, "Mr. Hoffman, please don't get us wrong, and please forgive Abi's gaffe.

He went through a difficult war last year, killed more than 10 people, and still has not recovered from the trauma of the war, and his mental state is not very good. ”

Jonas was not the least afraid, having experienced this kind of commercial intimidation and intimidation in his previous life.

He was originally a black worker, how could he be afraid of this! and even felt a long-lost excitement for facing the same environment in this life as in his previous life.

"Maybe in your country, killing is an honorable thing, but in Europe it's not worth showing off.

I have deep sympathy for Mr. Mariam's plight, but I don't think he would make a good business negotiation decision-maker.

Therefore, I will refuse to negotiate with you until you have a normal attitude towards the transaction. ”

Having said that, it is clear that today's negotiations will not be able to proceed.

The middle-aged man nodded and said, "Sorry for the interruption today, we will finalize everything as soon as possible and then reopen negotiations." ”

Jonas looked at Osberg and said, "Uncle Osberg, please help me deliver a guest." ”

Fedward was a little embarrassed on the side, more annoyed. Abiy's attitude is not only a contempt for Jonas, but also a provocation to the entire interest group, a provocation to Richie.

Ethiopia is not an important investment place for their interest groups, and even Mengistu does not dare to offend the entire interest group, but let a stunned young man mess it all up.

However, he quietly sent Abi away, and when he returned, he apologized to Jonas. "Jonas, I'm sorry, it was my mistake. I thought they would negotiate according to normal business methods, but it didn't occur that this Abi didn't understand all this. ”

Although it was a mistake by Fedward as an intermediary, Jonas did not blame him.

There are always some strange things in this world, you can only see yourself, you can't see others.

"No, Uncle Feverd, it's not your fault. It can only be said that the representatives sent by Commander Mengistu are not qualified. ”

He comforted: "Don't worry that the other party will coerce you, in addition to them, there are many people who want to get these shares." ”

Of course, there are partners who are not afraid of them and are willing to ask for these shares. However, it was in the interest of the other partners to arrange for the Mariam family to negotiate first, apparently allowing them to get these shares.

Osberg said at this time: "Jonas, although you are very relieved to do this, it is not in line with the style of the Hoffman family. We are businessmen, we are bankers, and the solution can be a little more tactful. ”

Jonas smiled: "Uncle Osberg, don't forget, this is not the business of a private bank, this is the business of an energy group, we represent Uncle Mark, and at no time, we must not lose the face of Uncle Mark." ”

Osberg groaned for a moment and insisted, "Maybe you're right, but I think it's better to be tactful." ”

Jonas and Osberg have different positions, Jonas is thinking about the big picture, while Osberg doesn't pay attention to these, he only cares about Jonas.

Jonas understands this, so he actually values Osberg more in his heart.

"Okay, I'll pay attention to my attitude in the future. Uncle Faward, since the negotiations with them have broken down for the time being, let me first make an appointment with Uncle Wesson, who is scheduled to meet tomorrow morning. ”

"Okay, I'll call now. ”

Fayward had just gone out when Bennett knocked on the door. "Bennett, come in. ”

Bennett turned and closed the door, and walked over with some anxiety. "Jonas, what do you think about Hoffman Investment Bank right now?"

Bennett was so anxious that Jonas was impressed with him. A good investor must have the ability to think calmly, so that it is not easy to make mistakes.

So, Jonas thought about it for a moment and said, "I'm sorry, Bennett, after my dad died, we will be temporarily slowing down our investments in the financial markets. At least for a few years of my schooling, there will be no large-scale investment. ”

He was disappointed, shook his head and said, "It's a shame. ”

"Enriching myself better is my only goal now, and if you can still recognize me in four years' time, I'm willing to work with you to create a new situation," Jonas said. ”

She shook her head and smiled bitterly, "Then leave it to the future to decide......

After a while, Fayward walked in. "Wessen's side will be here soon, and I've already told him you're going to a dinner party in the evening, and you only have an hour to talk. ”

"Thank you......" he hesitated and asked, "Uncle Feward, may I ask why Bennett is being ostracized?"

Fedward hesitated for a moment and said: "Maybe you can't use the word exclusion to describe the current situation, we are more divided on investment philosophy." He is indeed a great trader, but his ability to stab Lou Zi is not weak at all.

Many of his aggressive investments are very dangerous, and he used to be checked by Yannick, but he only served Yannick, which caused more and more contradictions between ideas. ”

"I see. ”

Feyward asked, "What did he just say?"

Jonas smiled: "We can't take all the money away, we will definitely leave some money in the financial market, and he is afraid that he is interested in this money." ”

"If you think you can control him, he may be able to help you double your money, but he may also lose all your money. So, it's all up to you. ”

"I've turned him down. In recent years, I think Bruti Wolff, an asset management expert, is more suitable for the Hoffmann family's choice of stability. ”

Fedward smiled and nodded, "He's a good fit, but I don't think he's more professional than us." ”

"But the talent he cultivates belongs to Hoffmann Bank, doesn't it?"

Fayward laughed, and then said, "I heard the news just now, Abi actually asked people to inquire about your situation, and he doesn't seem to know that on the British side, no matter which class has a close relationship with us. ”

Jonas shook his head and said, "He may just think that his identity is more important than mine, and even if there is a dispute, everyone will favor him." In this way, my performance seems too gentle. ”
